Episode 72
“Please focus the self-produced content on concepts that push us a bit harder.”
“Oh? Actually, we’d love to do that… but won’t it be exhausting?”
“The exhaustion doesn’t matter. Healing content and the whole coddling concept—we’re done with that. We’d like something where we struggle a bit, or where everyday situations get woven in naturally.”
The first meeting for self-produced content shooting.
There was only one thing I’d requested from Shin Ji-yoon, our producer.
“…Did all the members agree on this?”
Shin Ji-yoon gave us a slightly skeptical look, but…
“Yes. We discussed it beforehand among ourselves.”
“But if we just say ‘push hard!’ like that, it scares me, Ji-on…”
“Everyone agreed. Even the youngest members.”
“Right. And like I said yesterday, I think it’ll be fine!”
With Go Hyun-seo’s affirmation and Kang Su-ah’s mild complaint, Ju Hye-rin stepped in too, making it clear this was a pre-arranged consensus. Shin Ji-yoon nodded.
“All right, I’ll move forward understanding everyone consents to this. The first shoot looks like it’ll be a Band Club concept—we’ll film in school uniforms. After that…”
“After that?”
“I’ll bring fun ideas.”
“Oh…”
“Very fun ones.”
Shin Ji-yoon’s eyes gleamed.
Self-produced content is made for fans, sure, but the kind that gets called “boring as candy floss” doesn’t really work. You spend money with no actual payoff.
There’s the bait for existing fans, new fan acquisition, and the laugh going viral. That’s why funny is good.
There’s talk that girl groups being funny is pointless, but… an idol from a small company like ours doesn’t have the luxury of pretending otherwise.
“Nowadays there’s audience growth through self-produced content, and since we’re in the age of YouTube variety, aiming for something like the idol self-produced content version of Infinite Challenge would be good, right?”
And yes, the people making it seem to like funny stuff too.
Shin Ji-yoon and his outsourced team were also connections of Lee Su-bin’s—in this business, connections really are everything.
“That is what I’m aiming for, but…”
“…Never mind. As long as it’s funny, that’s enough! I think it’ll be okay for now!”
A bright-eyed producer fanning the flames, me stoking it further without hesitation, Kang Su-ah eventually caving in and saying let’s do this, and the other members finding it fun. Four gears turning in perfect sync.
We were a flawlessly functioning machine.
***
The early stages of content shooting under the name “Youngwon High Band Club” went smoothly.
It definitely went smoothly, but…
[Su-ah: Jae-yi, that’s insane.]
[Jae-yi: …What is?]
[Su-ah: You dance so well, but drums? The fact that you can’t keep time is just incredible. How is this even possible?!]
[Jae-yi: Ah, whatever! All a drummer needs is swagger!]
[Club room in ruins…]
[(Even the nervous freshmen fail to hold back their laughter!)]
[Ji-on: Seriously, what? Hyun Jae-yi, say that again… You’re a singer. You really think about drums like that?!]
[Jae-yi: But you said it, Ji-on! You said drums need to have swagger!]
[Ji-on: That’s… just because swagger is good doesn’t mean it’s all you need. Swagger is nice to have, but at minimum the timing has to be right…?]
[Jae-yi: This is why I can’t talk to people who go to music colleges.]
[Su-ah: Wait, what does music college have to do with drum timing?!]
[Hyun-seo: Wow, impressive, Hyun Jae-yi. You made Su-ah say something sensible.]
[Su-ah: Hyun-seo, are you taking my side or are you dissing me?!]
[Hyun-seo: Both?]
[Ji-on: Ha!]
[Su-ah: And also, Jae-yi broke character! I’m supposed to be a third-year, remember?!]
[Jae-yi: …Let me correct that to music college entrance exam student!]
But why is the final edit funny?
True to the Band Club concept, we were asked to play the instruments we’d used in the debut music video. But Hyun Jae-yi pulled a lot of time through physical comedy and talking.
I never expected that not knowing how to play an instrument would become a comedy point. Hyun Jae-yi’s variety sense is definitely sharp.
The content went smoothly at first.
Introductions with the given settings, plus the short “Who’s the Boss?” skit from the trailer fit in around here.
[Ji-on: I mentioned it when we went to promote the club, but I’m Seo Ji-on, the Band Club president. I’m third-year, and I do guitar and vocal.]
[Su-ah: I’m Kang Su-ah, I do keyboard and vocal, and I’m in the same class as her! Also third-year!]
[Ji-on: When were we ever in the same class?]
[Su-ah: Just say we were.]
[Ji-on: Fine, you were.]
[※This was not a setting provided by the production team]
[~Let’s just go with it~]
[Hyun-seo: I’m Go Hyun-seo, and I play bass in the club. I’m second-year, and also…]
[Hyun-seo: …I’m the student council president?]
[Jae-yi: (Laughing hard) What if she didn’t even know that…]
[Hyun-seo: No, I got the script right before shooting and literally just read it…]
[Su-ah: Phew, second-year setting confirmed!]
[Hyun-seo: Yeah, so… I’m the student council president.]
[Su-ah: President?]
[Hyun-seo: I’m the president.]
[Su-ah: Right!]
[The birth of an improvised student council president!]
[※This setting was indeed provided by the production team]
…Smooth, right?
Our kids do have a certain variety sense. There’s something special about how they just talk well together…
[Ji-on: Next, the freshmen?]
[Hye-rin: (!!)]
[Hye-rin: I’m first-year class three, Ju Hye-rin! I came because I want to do Band Club!]
[Ji-on: I see. What position are you hoping for?]
[Hye-rin: …What instrument don’t you have right now?]
[Jae-yi: Ah, stop. Stop!! Ju Hye-rin, you’re worse than me!]
[Ji-on: Leave it. Want to do second guitar? I’ll teach you.]
[Jae-yi: No fair—you’re totally favoring the youngest members! I’m your dongsaeng too!]
[Ji-on: Haven’t you seen me play favorites with the youngest members?]
[~Silence~]
[Ji-on: You got no complaints, right?]
[Jae-yi: Ah, wow!!!]
[Hyun-seo: Say it properly.]
[Jae-yi: Wow, did everyone see that? THIS! Hyun-seo is the worst—always just slipping away like it’s not her!]
[Hyun-seo: Who are you appealing to? (Laughs)]
[Jae-yi: Obviously the production team… or not.]
[Su-ah: Whahahaha!]
[Don’t forget about staying in character!]
[Jae-yi: Um, my special skill is seeing ghosts.]
[(Flabbergasted)]
[Jae-yi: There are tons of ghosts over there!]
[The production team suddenly becomes ghosts…]
[Can you… see me…?]
[Ji-on: Never mind the ghosts—our youngest member still hasn’t introduced herself.]
[Jae-yi: Can you please stop favoring the youngest members, Ji-on…]
[Ji-on: Then you be as cute as the youngest members.]
[Jae-yi: But Jae-yi is already cute enough…]
[Ji-on: What?]
[Su-ah: Wow. Hyun Jae-yi, you’re eliminated!]
[Hyun-seo: Ha!]
[Han-byul: …Oof.]
[Hye-rin: …So I don’t need to choose an instrument?!]
[Puppy dog version five minutes earlier]
…Correction.
The assigned topic was fine, but we ended up talking way more than expected.
And Shin Ji-yoon didn’t cut a single bit of it.
It could’ve gotten long, but he didn’t trim the chatter at all. It’s funny though…
Since he asked us to talk naturally, we talked—and just the concept bit and introductions gave him a decent amount of footage…
[Han-byul: I’m Lee Han-byul…! I’m first-year class three, and…]
[Hye-rin: We’re in the same class?!]
[Han-byul: …Seems like it? Yeah. My position of choice is vocal!]
[Su-ah: Oh, vocal~]
[Ji-on: Competition’s here?]
[Su-ah: Don’t talk like you’re not a vocalist yourself…]
And so Lee Han-byul finished her (relatively) smooth introduction,
[New Member Recruitment Event]
On-screen, I write large letters on the whiteboard in the Club Room.
[Ji-on: Now that we have new members, we’re going to play a game to get to know each other better.]
[Su-ah: I have a question!]
[Ji-on: I’ll take them later. There are some slips of paper in this container with games written on them…]
[Su-ah: …I got ignored…]
Ha, this is pretty funny.
Kang Su-ah’s deflated expression overlaps with that famous image of a raccoon after a cotton candy wash, and I couldn’t help but laugh.
What we were actually doing wasn’t much. In this kind of situation, the new members would normally be awkward, so the production team gives you a slip, and you play a mini game.
Except…
[Hye-rin: Uh, zombie game?]
[Su-ah: The one I drew is also zombie game?]
[Ji-on: …Why did you draw one?]
[Su-ah: No, I didn’t know Hye-rin drew!]
[Hyun-seo: Su-ah does this kind of thing all the time anyway, but why are they the same?]
[Jae-yi: What are you even looking at.]
[Hyun-seo: The invisible people who gave us the mini games. (Confidently)]
[Jae-yi: Ugh, that annoys me…]
[Ji-on: That’s not the issue. Let’s see what else is in there.]
[(Checking…)]
[Jae-yi: Ah!!]
[Hye-rin: They’re all the same!]
[Su-ah: The game was decided from the start, wasn’t it?!]
[Members glaring at the production team with resentment]
[What do you mean? There’s nothing here.]
[😊]
I underestimated Shin Ji-yoon.
The game was decided from the beginning, and he’d written “zombie game” on every single slip in the container he gave us.
I mean, if he’d just told us to play a zombie game, what would be the problem?
An entertainment junkie obsessed with broadcast appeal…
I did think that’s who he was, but the confusion I felt while shooting was genuine.
Episode One of Youngwon High Band Club wrapped up messily around here.
Episode Two is about whether we actually play the zombie game or not—the zombie game in a limited space set up like a Club Room—basically a random mess of a zombie game episode, but it’ll definitely be funny.
Looking at the comment reactions roughly…
==========
– I knew Evergreat had top-tier variety sense for a new group but wow they really love talking to each otherㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– 07:22 Find the correlation between a music college education and sense of rhythm
– The new production team really got it ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ the kids just chatting so much is so good how can you not love Evergreat who keeps the concept while being entertaining too♥♥♥♥
==========
…Next week will be even funnier.
The Evergreat fans seem to be enjoying the content already. Honestly, it’s basically just us chatting, but there’s something fun about it…? Good thing there is.
Well, as long as people enjoy it, that’s what matters, right? Regardless of what I understand…
What’s important right now is this.
[▷ Hidden Quest condition achieved!]
[▷ A Hidden Quest has been assigned!]
[▷ Hidden Quest: Achieve 1st place on a Music Show.]
[Period: Until the last week of 2ND SINGLE activities (3rd week)]
Another Hidden Quest has appeared on schedule.
The condition for the Hidden Quest opening really does seem to be “initial sales of 100,000 copies.”
– Lee Su-bin: Ji-on~
– Lee Su-bin: We broke 100,000 pre-orders for this album ㅎㅎ
– Lee Su-bin: All that hard work paid off~
Looking at the message from Lee Su-bin during self-produced content monitoring, that’s clear.
Thank you so much!! –
The fans seem really excited for this one ㅎㅎ –
We need to work even harder 😊 –
Should I tell the members? –
– Lee Su-bin: Can you?
– Lee Su-bin: The leader telling them is better than me~
Will do –
I answered Lee Su-bin’s message casually, then opened my Mobile Phone and sent a light message about hitting 100,000 initial sales to our group chat.
The chat exploded, but… I can check that later.
I’m confident we can succeed at this Hidden Quest.
Since I moved the timing up with that in mind. I absolutely can’t afford to get sick from exhaustion again…
Bring it on, System.
No matter what curve ball you throw, I’m winning this time…
