Episode 28.

I thought StillBlue was going with a Little Mermaid concept

but it wasn’t
The Little Mermaid was actually me
StillBlue is amazing,,
Colors really lives up to being concept-focused

I really love how they consistently maintain their concept without losing sight of it
Keep doing that

It’s not that Colors is concept-obsessed, it’s that our girls stay true to the concept
└Neither—our girls aren’t following a concept, they’re being authentic
Authentic
But doesn’t it overlap a bit?

Sparkle was in the B-side tracks from the previous album too
If this title track includes it again, it might feel repetitive
Good things are good once or twice, but milking the same idea too much…

Why do I feel like a kimchi master
I felt the same way lol if they keep overlapping themes it gets boring
It seemed like the members wrote the lyrics, but honestly Colors should’ve done some editing… it’s one thing if B-sides overlap with each other, but if B-sides overlap with the title track, that’s a problem
We have to give it to the Colors staff—they really don’t slack off
StillBlue’s tracklist is out!!

It’s been updated on the Blooming app
Track 1. Saltwater mine
Track 2. Plosive
Track 3. In to the Silence
Track 4. Blue Burst
Track 5. Paper Savior
Track 6. Adrift
Track 7. Ever Forever Blue
Track 8. Against the tide
Track 9. Foam Foam
Track 10. Time Freeze
Track 11. FireFlower

No way, no way, no way
Foam Foam lololol

Seriously, Foam Foam stood out so much among all the other titles that I had to check, and it turns out Ju-hong wrote the lyrics lololololol

That’s so like our Yeon Coral lolololol
Our baby sparrow is the best lololololol
Wait, that teaser yesterday was for Plosive

But apparently it’s not the title track, just a B-side
What? They made such a polished music video for a B-side????

Wow
Plosive isn’t the title track

(Article screenshot)
This time StillBlue’s title tracks are “In to the Silence” and “Blue Burst” — it’s a double title

Wow
I had a feeling Blue Burst would be the real title track

(Article screenshot)
Apparently it’s going to be a concept they’ve never done before
Could it be an intense concept?

StillBlue has never actually done a truly intense concept

Why is Blue also so intense? Like, their concept was literally about going around chopping things with an axe.
└Really? I’m a casual fan, so I don’t know—is this actually true?
└└I want to say it’s not… but it is.
Wait, but Ju-hong participated in the composition?

Why is it like this?
Ju-hong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apparently Pom Pom was written and composed entirely by Ju-hong. (ง•̀_•́)ง
└But Yun Chung and Kim Geum are credited for the arrangement.
└└So what, what’s your point? (ง•̀_•́)ง
└└└Just saying… calm down..
Wait, what? Did they change the app again?

What?????????
The background changed again;

Wow
Colors has finally lost their minds.

They’re releasing music videos for every track.
And it’s a full album.
You guys are insane.

Wait, isn’t this him getting his act together? lol
└Music videos for every track is definitely the insane part.
Colors, do you have that much money?

What’s gotten into them?
Well, I personally spent about ten million won.

I contributed modestly—like a brick.
I was a window.
Their new office in Gangnam was sparkling so much, they must have plenty of money.
I was worried when I heard Ju-hong came back,

I was concerned she might have caught the American disease, but something feels off.
Looks like she came to her senses.

I thought she might’ve caught some disease, but she actually came back after getting it treated.
Wow, yesterday’s teaser was a plosive sound.

Today’s teaser is pom-poms.
Every time you pop a bubble, the members’ concept photos appear.

Wow, I’m seriously jealous of Colors’ resources.
How many concept photos do they even have?

I can’t keep up with this.
Release them slowly, you crazy people.

At this point, aren’t they just uploading everything they’ve shot?
Why do you have 30 copies of each card lol
└But they’re all new ones every day.
I’m a fan of another group, but you’re saying you have 30 concept photos?

?

Yeah, but it was 30 yesterday, 30 today, and it’ll be 30 tomorrow too.
└…? Is that even possible?
└└Apparently it is.
Wow, Ryu Bora made the concept photos herself as a cottage industry.

That explains it.

Ah, so they were in-house concept photos.
└No, that’s not an explanation—isn’t this basically Ryu Bora abuse?
The pom-poms are so cute.

Evils, hurry up and go in. Blooming ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Ah, today’s Blooming is so adorable.

It seems like this changes depending on who you set as your favorite, right?

ㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇ The first one that came out seemed to be the favorite that I set lol. I said Bora, Choi Ae, and Bora, but it came out as Bora, but my Deokme came out as Kim Geum.
I came out as straight for some reason lol

***

A woman checking her phone on a community forum paused mid-scroll, her hand freezing.
Suddenly, everyone was calling Pom-Pom cute?

‘…That Pom-Pom that Ju-hong wrote and composed?’

She was a devoted fan of StillBlue, and Yeon Ju-hong in particular was her ultimate bias.
However, she’d become a fan relatively late compared to others, so she called herself a late-bloomer fan.
The late-bloomer hurriedly opened the Blooming app.

‘Wait, did I miss something because I became a fan so late? When did Ju-hong start writing and composing?’

There was no way she wouldn’t know such important information, even if she’d discovered the group late.
With that thought, she opened the Blooming app.
Yeon Ju-hong appeared, dressed in a fluffy, round white mini dress inspired by bubbles.
Yeon Ju-hong seemed to truly live inside the phone, peeking out from the edge of the screen with her head tilted, blinking her eyes rapidly.

[Hey, you’re here?]

She said this with warmth.

[Did anything difficult happen to you today?]

Yeon Ju-hong spoke to the late-bloomer on the other side of the screen with a slightly worried expression.

‘I had such a rough day, Ju-hong…’

She swallowed hard.
The late-bloomer remembered how some incredibly rude customer had screamed at her earlier: “Did you make this for me to eat right now? You try eating it first!” The memory made her eyes well up.
Running a small cafe in her neighborhood, the late-bloomer felt tears threatening to spill as she recalled what had just happened.

[You know, the bubble fairy Pom-Pom wants to listen to your worries]
[Would you be able to write your concerns or what’s troubling you in here?]

Yeon Ju-hong pointed with her finger at the message window floating above her head.
The message window above her head was empty. The only notable thing about it was that it was shaped like a round bubble.
The late-bloomer thought for a moment, then began typing out everything that had happened earlier.
She felt a bit sorry for sending negative energy toward Ju-hong… was that okay?
Were these complaints okay? Our girl is just a kid after all…
The late-bloomer softened her words appropriately before pressing the complete button.

“Did you finish writing it, unnie?”
“Thank you!”

Yeon Ju-hong beamed with a radiant smile and clapped her hands together.
And then.

“Alright, so now the foam fairy Ju-hong~”

She suddenly pulled out an enormous, adorable hammer that she’d been hiding behind her back, bounced up, and burst the message window like a bubble!
Just like popping foam.

“I’ll pop away all your worries, unnie!!”

“!!!”

Huh…
I stared with my mouth open, watching Yeon Ju-hong burst through my worries with such infectious energy and flair.
Our… our girl… is she really this cute and cool…?

Foam foam
Foam foam
Write your worries on the bubbles like foamfoam
This is actually cleansing foam
I’ll erase it all for you
Your worries and concerns
Foam foam
Foam foam
All the dirty, frustrating worries from outside
I’ll wash them all away with foam foam

The short highlight ended, and Yeon Ju-hong appeared once more.
But that wasn’t all. The other members came out together too, bursting through various murky bubbles that looked like they’d been made by other EVEL members.
They wiped the sweat from their foreheads as if exhausted from working so hard to pop away all those worries.

“Do you have any more, unnie?”
“I’ll pop them all away for you!”

Faced with Ju-hong’s eyes burning with such enthusiasm, I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
It truly felt like all my worries were popping away like bubbles.
