Episode 50.

StillBlue concert was legendary;

Today’s first concert ended and it was seriously legendary… Man, tomorrow’s final concert is going to be even more legendary, right?
Wow, people said the members’ solo stages were really unexpected, but

they really were unexpected.
Yun Chung’s solo: A brutally intense male idol dance track lol. It was an All Colors school uniform concept song lol. Fresh and refreshing + it felt like my first love… Why is Chung-chung so good at dancing..??
Seo Baek-young’s solo: Cha-yul’s senior solo 【Bad ass】!!!!!!!! I mean, she pulled off the bad girl concept of Seo Baek-young!!!!!!!! Seo Baek-young brought this delinquent thug concept and it was absolutely perfect!!!!!!!
Bora’s solo: A first love concept country-pop song. It’s like a nerdy girl is experiencing first love and unrequited love lol lol lol lol lol.
But honestly, for Bora this wasn’t unexpected—it was impossible.
Anyway, seeing nerdy glasses Ryu Bora and gloomy Ryu Bora was something we’d never seen before, so it was really nice…^^
Geum: Brought an incredibly cute trot song.
Do I need to explain this? She came out in a sparkly jacket, wearing heart-shaped sunglasses, shaking a tambourine with aegyo overflowing—she brought a trot performance that was just pure cuteness. A cute girl pulled off insanely cute.
Ju-hong: Decadent rock concept decadent rock concept decadent rock concept decadent rock concept
… Personally, it was the most shocking lol lol lol lol
But it was really, really, really unexpectedly… incredibly fitting…
With a band rock vocal concept, smoky and gripping the standing microphone, Ju-hong belting it out…
I mean, when did our baby sparrow grow up like that…? And then I think, she’s not a baby sparrow anymore, she’s become a brave eagle… Um…
I don’t know, she was just so incredible…

Ryu Bora is really, really, really, really… the fact that she’s this beautiful even wearing nerdy glasses… you can’t have an unrequited crush because she’s already cultivated 100 million fan clubs at school.
└She’s 100% pure-hearted but seemed like she might be overshadowed by the #1 popular senior Seo Baek-young.
Wait, this isn’t the time for this—Ju-hong did decadent rock?????? Ju-hong??? Ah, why couldn’t I go?
Overall, the kids’ skills have improved so much that

even doing solo live performances feels completely natural.
Color fans, I think the company will probably release solo albums for each of them eventually.
There’s no review of the duet stage.

The duet stage was seriously incredible lol

Please leave a review ㅠㅠㅠ
Of course there was a Bora and Geum stage this time too.

They came out with a high-teen hot girl concept, but now just as rivals to each other lol lol

Haha, so Kim Geum’s concept was wanting to get close but being rejected by Ryu Bora, and Ryu Bora’s concept was getting wrapped up with Kim Geum and regretting it later hahaha.
Seo Baek-young, Yun Chung, and Ju-hong—three on stage

Since they were the team’s main dancer, main vocalist, and a duet, I thought it’d be insanely intense
Pure and innocent Yun Chung with an acoustic guitar and white shirt + my first love Baek-young playing piano + Ju-hong with half-tied hair appearing as a queen—that was the combination
But honestly, my heart just felt purified, and since the three of them sang such a sweet song, I felt like everything would be okay
Somehow it felt like if these three showed up as a band at a university festival and performed, it’d be the kind of stage where you’d make all your sales that day…
The song was about always being there for each other, and I just wanted to be there with them
StillBlue concerts are such a blessing

The concert never ended
The members kept calling for encores lol so I’m heading home after 4 hours… Thanks for sending me off on the last train, guys…
They really did everything

For now, it seems like they performed all the songs from this album without holding back
Personally, the Adrift stage, which had never been publicly performed before, was really amazing

You should explain why it was so good, teacher
└The members had a concept of being stranded at sea, so at first they all sang separately from far apart in despair, but as the song progressed, they found each other, and in the end all five of them came together and sang while holding hands tightly—it was such a huge emotional moment
It’s strange, why are there only two StillBlue concerts?

It’s strange, I feel like they should do at least twenty, and I’m confident I could go to all twenty
Why is it already the final concert?
The first concert had an event where they sang for us—did you guys do well?

Ever Blue fans are famous for being tone-deaf and off-key, right?

I don’t know where all this criticism of us keeps coming from, but it’s all true so I have nothing to say
This time, somehow they managed to make it work—the lyrics appeared on the big screen like a karaoke machine, so it was a success
└Right, they uploaded a parody version with perfect execution, so it was a success
At least the flower petal throwing event was a success, you guys

During the blue stage, throwing blue rose petals was somewhat of a success

If you can’t even do that, then that’s… (trails off)
The Ever Blue fans’ parody version of the event was hilarious

Blue Burst

Baby, burst it all
Whenever I want to break free
->Whenever I want to escape, that’s fine
Blue, burst it all
From now on, blue is no longer the color of sorrow
->Forever, blue is the color of happiness

After that, it was filled with StillBlue cheers, which was nice, but Ever Blue fans dropping beats all over the place lololololololol

Ah, that’s why I said singing along to the song is difficult
Let’s just wave our slogans..^^
Today’s final concert event is a slogan one, right? Is that right?

Sigh

That’s right.
└Even tone-deaf Ever Blue fans can’t fail at this
└No wait, this isn’t just a simple slogan event

***

‘This is the final stage…!’

Bleduck had loved the concert so much that I exhaled a long breath, half overwhelmed with emotion and half melancholy at the thought of it ending.
No, StillBlue should perform every day.
Bleduck held back the sadness creeping in and pulled out the slogan I had kept hidden.
Today’s slogan was—
StillBlue will not be MUTED
We will hear your voice forever
that.
It was a slogan that actively reflected fans’ opinions wanting a phrase that would elevate this album.
Honestly, there were more than one or two messages I wanted to convey to StillBlue, so choosing was really difficult, but in the end, this seemed the most appropriate.
Even if someone were to steal StillBlue’s songs and silence their voices from their world, Ever Blue would reclaim that voice for them.
I wanted to convey to the members that determination—that no matter what happens, we will hear your voice.

‘The members are coming out!’

In 【In to the Silence】, the song that carries the most identity of this album, there is a part during Kim Geum’s section where the sound completely cuts out and becomes silent.
It was during that exact part that Ever Blue fans decided to shout the slogan louder than anyone else.

‘I hope our Bleduck EVEL fans are doing okay?’

They had to be okay….
Bleduck’s eyes were busy taking in the members’ magnificent stage presence, while simultaneously gauging the reactions of the other EVEL fans around her.

In to the Silence
An unbelievable silence flows
I’m muted now

And then came the long-awaited moment.
As Kim Geum stepped forward, writhing in anguish, and that part where the song cut out arrived.

‘Now!’

All the EVEL fans chanted their slogan in unison.

StillBlue will never be MUTED
We will forever hear your voice

‘Wow.’

That was an absolute success in terms of timing.
The members must have understood it, right?
She looked at them with hopeful eyes.
The members’ faces on the large screen gradually zoomed in.
They were dancing because they had to continue performing, but their expressions were utterly bewildered and shocked.
Kim Geum appeared to be the most startled, barely managing to sing while her face was on the verge of tears.
And finally, as the song completely ended.
The members turned their heads with dazed expressions and stepped forward to read the slogan the fans were holding. Each of them gazed at the fans with glistening eyes.
Most notably, Kim Geum was nearly sobbing—and since Kim Geum was famous for almost never crying, the fans were even more taken aback. In fact—

‘Is Bora crying?!!?!’

No, not someone else, but Bora was actually crying with tears streaming down her face, not just glistening eyes?!
All the EVEL fans were so flustered that they actually felt apologetic instead.
The other members were also trying to hold back their tears, when suddenly—

“EVEL fans.”

I grasped the microphone and opened my mouth.

“…Thank you.”

As befitted a leader, I held back my tears, drawing one deep breath.
My voice, amplified through the microphone, seemed to tremble slightly.

“We will always sing for EVEL. Truly, for as long as forever lasts.”

I quickly gathered the members, then wiped their tears away with my sleeve.
And lined them up in a row.

“We prepared a special farewell message in case we received this event today.”

It seemed StillBlue had something prepared as well. Everyone nodded at my words.
And then.
As I whispered “one, two, three,” we all bowed together and shouted.

“Forever Blue, StillBlue! We have been StillBlue until now! Thank you!”

In that moment when the fans’ hearts seemed ready to shatter at what was clearly a farewell.
The members lifted their heads in unison and called out again.

“And, StillBlue is a group that will never end! From now on, truly, forever, again and again, continuously. We ask for your continued support, EVEL!”

Like a preview of a story that would never truly end.
