Episode 71
[on air]
– The kids are pretty, but honestly, I don’t know about their stage presence
– Damn, Green Astral didn’t renew their contract, suddenly in a bad mood, those PEN guys are crazy
└ The disbandment was abrupt, so the final response makes sense,,,ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ just say they scattered naturally; why are people so bothered about them going to another company?
– Their expressions are so awkward I can’t watch, I at least expected them to pull it off decently
– If you can’t even appreciate them singing with backing tracks and just dancing, isn’t that the worst? ㅠㅠ
– Haven’t these kids been debuting for less than two months? Why is everyone hating on them?
└ Because of the encore? They don’t even seem to want to sing, and they haven’t done live singing since then
└ How many idol groups even do live covers? Why trash them for covering?
└ Then why don’t they perform well usually so they don’t get hated?
└ I got
└ spelling Nazi
– They’re trying to do fresh and bubbly, but putting Green Astral’s Luna Lunatic on brand new rookies is kinda
└ 222 needs more seasoning, I think
– Their faces are so baby-like ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋ they’re cute working hard, but Luna Lunatic shouldn’t be cute, you know? ㅠ
– They’re working hard and pretty, just leave the rookie girl idols alone
– This place can’t stand seeing girl idols get praised ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ your oppa groups are so great ㅋㅋ
└ And there it goes, dragging it toward fandom wars again;
– Wish they’d stop and I could see Ji Chung-yeon… won’t she be in any works?
└ Turns out Ji Chung-yeon isn’t serious about the idol thing?
– Seems like a song choice miss, Green Astral’s members all became adults before releasing this song, so it doesn’t suit young rookies
└ 222 I feel the same way
└ ㅇㅇ they’re all still too young ㅠ
– Face shot ㄴㄱ?? So pretty
└ Noah
– Wow, never give up
– Still, the ending face shot is seriously pretty; idols are all about their faces
– Evergreat never give up
– Ah ㅅㅂ yeah, this is the kind of cover stage they should be doing
– Hyun Jae-yi is like, seriously an idol; there’s a reason she entered the PEN debut project back in middle school
– Wow, Jae-yi with blonde hair ㅁㅊㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Hyun Jae-yi looked pretty with dark blonde in Luck Day, but blonde hair is seriously a visual shock; I’m losing it
└ You could tell her hair was supposed to be blonde
– But Evergreat is doing live singing??
└ They don’t lip-sync from debut
└ Really a rare group these days, it’s wild
– Seo Ji-on has been pulling off Performance Intensity from that song on, ㅋㅋㅋㅋ she looked awkward with the camera during Luck Day, but suddenly she’s a pro idol
└ Quick adaptation? Her stage presence grew noticeably
– Main vocalist sisters? Big sisters? Seo… sisters??? What do we call them, Seo Ji-on and Kang Su-ah’s tone harmony is insane
└ All of it works ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– What is this, they’re doing a live acrobatic show at a cover stage ㅁㅊ
– Song choice, styling, live singing, all seriously slick
└ Yup that’s the real deal
– Hey guys, Evergreat is making a comeback on June 11th, everyone mark it
└ Didn’t they debut in February?
└ ㅇㅇ yeah
└ They’re coming back pretty fast
[Ping PF, does the cover song today count as live singing too???]
Damn I had a fight with my sibling about live vs. lip-sync, my sibling saying where the hell are rookie idols doing live singing like that, and boom, here she is
——————————
– ㅇㅇ it’s live
– You could even hear the breathing ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ the mic dips in volume when they step back, it’s definitely live
– ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ oh the original poster’s sibling is clueless; there are K-pop fans who don’t know about Evergreat’s live singing?
└ ㄱㅆ) This guy’s a muggle ㅂㅄ I’m gonna beat him
[Honestly the difference between Evergreat and Green Astral looked huge]
Green Astral looked like they were lineup made to be a B-side
——————————
– If you’re gonna write-off, EVERY should too; this fandom drama keeps people’s heads locked in, and it’s not fun for EVERY either
– I want to show this to people who brush off EVERY like “sure, sure”ㅋㅋ
└ There are people who brush off EVERY like that?
└ You only need to dig through a few YouTube videos to see PEN built the foundation, and they’ll come through on live singing too; the faith is so high
[Hey guys, Evergreat’s comeback is June 11th]
Don’t just drag them through the mud, stream them and buy the album
——————————
– ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅂㅄ if you’re really gonna drag them, at least buy the album while you do it
– Those stupid kids who only summon Evergreat when they’re comparing, if they each bought one album, Evergreat would’ve crossed 200k in first-week sales by now ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋ
[Do Data and EVERY have their comeback weeks overlapping???]
It must be really hard for EVERY to get #1
——————————
– They don’t overlap, it’s almost a week gap, so Evergreat could still get #1 on the music broadcast if they wanted?
– Yeah no overlap
【Evergreat Tears Up Tokyo Live #shorts】
– The song choice is slick, the live singing is sharp, and Hyun Jae-yi and Seo Ji-on’s Performance Intensity ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
👍 3.2K
– Evergreat’s conviction is impressive; at a stadium in Japan they’re going to for the first time, and they’re still doing hand-mic live singing for a cover
👍2.5K
└ That’s a different league from those groups who lip-sync even their own titles
└ What ㅂㅄ don’t stir the pot under my comment
└ I’m just stating facts; what drama?;; you can tell the class difference with them lined up back-to-back; if you’re a fan of that group, just staying quiet helps them;;
– I’m curious why Seo Ji-on is just now doing idol work, and I can’t imagine what Jae-yi would’ve done if she hadn’t; the never give up cover is truly the best ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
👍1.6K
└ Seo Ji-on probably would’ve debuted at a major label if she’d done it early…
└ Thanks to Evergreat for being our only choice ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
【EVERGREAT(에버그릿) Second Single ‘Summer Signal’ Teaser #1】
***
You’ll fall for it in the end
In this summer
The teaser video ends with Seo Ji-on turning around and laughing playfully.
“No, seriously……. Her face is crazy…….”
A salaryman with the Twibble handle “Tujoo” murmured softly in admiration.
Even at 10 p.m., exhausted from work, she couldn’t hold back the wonder at such an insane(P) face.
It was June now, and since April’s “That Song Back Then” through May’s “Music City in Japan,” Evergreat had been running nonstop.
Plus, with a comeback scheduled for June, Evergreat members’ Univers visit rate had dropped sharply in May!
EVERY understood to a degree, but the members’ apologies for not visiting often did provide some comfort.
It was the heart of a fan to want to hear the little details—what they’re doing, how they’re getting by. If it’s hard, complain about it! If practice was brutal, write a diary entry about it on Univers!
But Ji-on, could you maybe not post things like “finished working today” to Univers at 4 in the morning and instead upload them during the day? It’s a careful request.
Though it’s amazing, of course. A bare-faced selfie taken at the studio without a trace of makeup, wearing glasses, is really really amazing!!! And when she occasionally uploads short 30-second cover song clips, that’s truly truly amazing!!!
For my sleep schedule, your health (shouldn’t you be sleeping early during the off-season?), and to prevent comeback spoilers. I’ve woken up to Univers notifications and couldn’t fall back asleep after seeing the post—it’s probably hit double digits by now.
Of course, Seo Ji-on hasn’t made a spoiler slip-up even once so far. Though she deliberately kept bringing up the comeback in frustrating ways……. A mere salaryman fan would have no way of knowing that.
Anyway. Even that “Univers filial daughter,” Seo Ji-on, has been logging on to Univers much less recently. Probably because the comeback is right around the corner and there are quite a few scheduled events, including the Japan Music Center.
And one of them was…….
【Who’s the leader of the school band club?!│Youngwon High School Band Club #1│EVER:DO-IT!】
A new self-produced content that just dropped!
The salaryman hadn’t seen it yet, but it was new self-produced content that went up at 8 p.m. today.
Since “That Song Back Then,” the muggles and casual fans that had exploded in number, along with K-pop fans dabbling, all commonly pointed out the poor quality of self-produced content since debut. Neither the volume nor quality was particularly good.
Of course, the self-produced content built up during the Proof Rookies era was made with decent quality and had no problem appealing to member chemistry…….
==========
[Why is EVERY’s self-produced content so cheap?]
It was okay during Proof Rookies, back then the roughness was romantic
But once they debut, they need to spend some money… the fact that they’re not outsourcing is obvious and it looks so cheap
——————————
– [email protected] don’t yell at the community, send an email to Music Proof’s Team 3 to spend money
– Does Music Proof look like it has money to outsource self-produced content?
└ They don’t even have that kind of money…?
└ There are actually way more broke companies in the world than you’d think…………….
– Give them a break… the Children’s Day member-finding self-produced content was fun
└ But it does look cheap; when other groups shoot in studios and places like that, here they’re filming in the company office conference room ㅇㅈㄹ
==========
Yes. More people were starting to draw the conclusion that no money = failure……. So-called “performance obsessives” were beginning to attach themselves to the fandom.
The quality did actually dip a bit. The staff couldn’t dedicate themselves solely to self-produced content.
Actually, the very fact that noise was rising over this was itself proof that Evergreat was building a good fandom, but whenever she saw posts on community sites of people wanting to mold the group and members to their own taste, frustration bubbled up inevitably.
And fans had always been emphasizing the necessity of self-produced content among themselves.
It didn’t help that the big company rookie next door debuted and immediately pumped money into self-produced content featuring a shared universe concept, creating a sense of relative deprivation!
Musicproofm3alphaXmail-dot-com. There was a reason Music Proof’s email address kept popping up in community comments.
Either individually or under the banner of fan unions, EVERY had already been begging—or threatening or prostrating themselves—through public email to Music Proof, imploring them to produce quality self-produced content.
(The netizen who left the email address in the comment probably just sent something via email moments ago.)
And right then,
[Jae-yi: Who’s the leader of our band club? I want to try being the leader!]
[Hyun-seo: Me.]
[Su-ah: No? It’s me?!]
[Ji-on: Isn’t it usually the treasurer they’re talking about in these cases? Then it’d be me.]
[Han-byul: …Well, it’s not me, at least.]
[Hye-rin: I don’t think it’s me either?! I’m doing the concept of just joining(?)]
[Jae-yi: Wow, Ju Hye-rin, no breaking character. Overacting, you know, overacting?]
[Hye-rin: I don’t know……. What is that…?]
[Hyun Jae-yi has lost the will to fight.]
[Pure firepower bombardment from the innocent one…]
The teaser for the new self-produced content dropped (in a positive sense) completely off the rails before it even started.
The new self-produced content released under the title “” had a different vibe from the existing content that had been coming out.
Professional cameras and lighting were being used, and there was a production crew attached!
The salaryman felt a strange sense of vindication.
Internet community dirtbags who were mocking them for being low-budget and having no money—are you watching? We’ve got self-produced content.
Sure, Music Proof is legitimately a company without money to outsource self-produced content, sure they’re famous as a company that survives purely on artist ability, sure I don’t really know where that money came from…….
If you’re gonna question that, you’d have to start by asking why Music Proof, which specializes in indie artist management, launched an idol group in the first place. Probably one of the higher-ups who pushed for the idol launch brought in outside investment.
Now that I’ve checked the teaser, I should watch the self-produced content I haven’t seen yet.
The salaryman hit play on Evergreat’s new self-produced content marked with the “new video” badge.
