When I clicked on the music video for
episode 138, the title of the video caught my eye before the 5-second advertisement.
[TeSTAR’s ‘Midnight and Next (00:01)’ Official MV]
[22 147 586 views]
‘Hey, that’s 22 million.’
When I saw it a while ago, it was 20 million, but even though it had been a week since its release, the speed of the number of views was quite fast.
The time it took to reach 10 million was also a new record for the group.
‘I’m watching again, what.’
“It deserves it,” the graduate student shrugged.
This is because Testa’s music video this time was a bit different from the previous ones.
“Ah, it begins.”
At that moment, the commercial ended and the music video started.
[…] …]
An antique gramophone covered in dust and cobwebs was captured on the screen.
A white hand came out of the corner and pressed the phonograph needle.
Fighting.
The cobweb snapped and a slow, crackling melody began to flow.
It was lo-fi jazz with the sound quality deliberately lowered.
A romantic and sad piano sounded.
Before I knew it, the cut of the screen changed to the entrance of the mansion.
The structure, which is old but still has traces of luxury, showed tremendous visual beauty in the captured frame.
and among them.
The focus was on the seven figures seated in formation under a glowing chandelier, covered in dust.
the song started
-I don’t want to leave
the night
when I
slowly
fall asleep
.
Your Midnight
choreography unfolded.
The color of modern dance and waltz stood out. It was an elegant and complex choreography with many movements to support each other using the whole body.
The long cuffs swayed.
There were no repetitive movements that were easy to follow and memorize. It was a movement solely aimed at making people see with their mouths open.
The structural lines were held long under the light of the chandelier. -Even
if the clock’s second hand runs and calls me, I
can’t pull it up. Today,
I am here, your
midnight
.
Each time, the hair and clothes also changed their shape and color, and the background was digested naturally in an instant.
It was a crazy visual beauty.
And the background came to the bedroom where golden blue butterflies fly around.
The evolution of outfits, which seemed to have no end based on colorful suits, came to the end.
It was a classic lightweight shirt.
Between his shoulders, he could see the pulsating springs spinning on his spine.
-Bungee’s choreography
blooms in full bloom in the final chorus of Midnight
, anxious for time as the
distorted focus shakes.
Butterflies gathered each time the formation changed and sat on the windmill like birds perching on a spinning top.
The shadows on the floor stretched, casting long butterfly wings.
-Overflowing Midnight
Shattered Shape
Ripped into a new day,
meaningful cut-scene performance There was no protruding narrative.
The video, which consisted entirely of choreography and proper close-up shots, swallowed up time in an instant.
It was a music video with beautiful and ecstatic visual beauty and songs that matched like earning money. -The
midnight
I met you
and the next
lyrics ended like that. All sounds stopped for a moment.
The last accompaniment was resumed feebly.
A white hand appeared like the first scene while the piano and contrabass were flowing. However, this time the camera went up on his arm.
The owner of the white hand was Seon Ah-hyun.
Sun Ah-hyun, who got out of the choreography formation, headed to the grandfather clock in one of the bedrooms.
Then, he tore off the right lower wing of the stuffed blue butterfly hanging above the clock.
Diagonal cracks were revealed in the glass under the wings.
[00: 01]
The video ended with a flowing cursive subtitle appearing on the grandfather clock that was held back from the front.
‘after!’
It was great to see you again!
The graduate student couldn’t control the corners of his mouth and turned the last verse to catch a close-up of Mundae.
Bak Mun-dae’s toned face, with blue butterflies flying around his temples and gazing slightly upward, was truly the best.
And there was a fire dragon point.
‘A choker around my neck!!’
Although the material and atmosphere were completely different, it was better because it reminded me of the second team fight of < Azusa >, the first time she saw Moondae Park.
Even though the graduate student had already done it, I tried to capture the scene one more time.
‘Oh, I really like this music video! The song is just nice to listen to!’
It was her taste to let you enjoy the enchanting visual beauty and the easy-to-listen songs for 4 minutes without question marks popping up in your head.
And that was revealed right away from the thumbnail.
Originally, Testa has been writing epic and meaningful thumbnails like hands and scenery props since ‘Magical Boy’.
However, this time, we openly put a close-up of the member’s upper body on the thumbnail.
It was Rabin Kim.
“Mmm.”
It was regrettable that he was not a literary college student, and the graduate student had a strange feeling because he was Kim Rae-bin, who had a very bad impression of the fan he met for the first time.
But the cut itself was an art.
‘…Lavin is handsome.’
Kim Rae-bin’s wet cut with a corset choker around her neck and a blue butterfly under her chin was amazing.
And he was the perfect person for this song.
It was a very languid and extravagant concept, so Kim Rae-bin, who has a slightly decadent impression, suited her well.
Isn’t the music video also a view of the world, a nabbal, and a bombardment of sight and hearing?
‘Ah, it passed.’
While she was lost in her thoughts for a moment, the video that flowed again ended and the related video was played continuously through automatic playback.
It was the first stage of ‘Midnight and Next’ at the concert.
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
!
]
‘Oh right! Everyone was like this!’
She giggled as she recalled the situation.
I forgot about the direct cam video link sent by my homemine friend because it was neatly edited with sound.
According to friends, it was more upsetting because they didn’t even give a hint in the concept photo that was released until just before.
‘Well, come to think of it, it’s just a pretty picture! It is expected! I think it was like this.’
right.
For a more dramatic first stage impact, Testa and the company accepted Park Moon-dae’s opinion and took a lot of concept photos and teasers.
It was just a moderately good-looking cut using a suitable suit and mansion.
-I heard that Shumbyeol finally got out of the concept
└Oh, it’s a no-brainer
└Still, the kids are pretty, then that’s it
-Ah, I’m sorry about something
-Are you going to take a break this time? It’s regular, so there’s a lot of work to do, and the condos are overlapped,
so it’s not
easy
.
But the moment the concert came out, everything turned upside down.
Even Testa came out with a butterfly model attached like a tail to a real spring, thinking that it could be a bit excessive since it was a concert costume.
Since the capital was dropped, the costume was not awkward even if it was that much excessive. -Sham stars are
serious
about the concept
-Who
the hell gave that shirt to the corset
choker
? Male idols are sexy.
After that, special photos with the concept of the music video were added exclusively for the album, and some were uploaded on Testa’s social media.
However, without having to know such elaborate calculations, the graduate students were just happy.
‘Yes, let’s see the direct cam of Mundae!’
The graduate student excitedly put in a Witube search term and found the direct cam of Park Moon-dae’s new song on a music show.
The hairstyle that only half exposed the forehead and the loose stage suit matched it really well.
‘Blonde is the best… !’
While watching the video happily, she suddenly opened a comment window.
Of course, I knew from experience that the best comments were written in English, but it’s nice to find one or two comments in Korean.
Looking at the injector, he himself wanted to write something in a big comment.
“Hmmmm~”
The graduate student happily scrolled down the comment window and finally found a comment in Korean.
however…It was not the kind of comment I was thinking of.
– Go for Park Moon-dae~ I like your strong and cool figure.
– Good luck with Mun-dae! I hope it’s not hard ㅠㅠ
“… …?”
…I felt a sense of discomfort.
This concept is based on coolness and elegance, and even a little sexy… It was felt that each element paid attention to the artistry.
And Park Moon-dae was a genius idol who digested the concept very appropriately, neither overflowing nor lacking!
‘But why is it like this instead of talking about the stage… ?’
Of course, it was a good word, so I didn’t feel bad.
but…I got a little excited.
“Mmm.”
The graduate student just skipped the comment and shrugged it down. Fortunately, I was soon able to find a comment on a post that was just right for her and press the heart.
-Every time Mundae blinks, the world flickers. This is a total solar eclipse.
‘This is it!’
The graduate students laughed and enjoyed themselves.
The discomfort was quickly forgotten, but now she seemed to have a sneak peek of her friend’s anxiety.
‘You’re more interested in being kind than Mundae… ….’
Of course, I’m not saying most people are like that, but I wasn’t happy that there was such a current.
‘I want to watch a variety show at Mundae.’
The graduate students watched the preparation video of the unit stage of the last concert and the direct cam of the unit stage at every break while waiting for the entertainment program.
And the return day of < Saturday Party >.
From the first appearance of Park Moon-dae and Keun Se-jin, she can hear the excitement.
“Kuhh!!”
Park Moon-dae and Keun Se-jin… It was because she was wearing pink fairy wings for babies.
“…?!”
The two of them started dancing to the music on the stage of a music cafe in the 80s.
[Dancing magic! Soaring Stock! Testa’s two shining stars have descended to the ground!]
Of course, he was cute and handsome in his suspenders.
However, the pink fairy wings robbed viewers.
Subtitles also appeared.
[It looks like it will fly to the sky any minute… ]
[Dream dance!]
[Are you a fairy or a human?]
It was the DJ’s new comment.
‘why…Why did you wear something like that?’
The graduate student looked at the screen in confusion and soon realized.
“Ah Butterfly!”
It seemed that he was conscious of the fact that this new song was secretly called ‘Butterfly Boy’ among fans!
‘so cute!’
It was a big picture for gag and publicity, but the fans were happy to see it anyway.
“Ahaha!!”
The graduate students laughed and turned up the volume.
And at the same time, Testa was doing the same thing.
* * *
“Ahahahahaha!!”
“Hehehehe!”
The guys gathered in the living room burst into laughter saying that they would monitor < Saturday Party >.
‘I knew it would be like this.’
I was a bit embarrassed, but… Haven’t you gone through all the bizarre things so far that your composure is broken by this?
“Are you that funny?”
“yes!!”
When Cha Yoo-jin answered, Bae Se-jin collapsed beside him. Even that answer seems funny.
‘…Let’s be patient.’
I opened my eyes to the remote control.
…But when the scene of me and Keun Se-jin dancing around the DJ booth came out, I couldn’t stand it any longer.
I shouted on the screen.
[And the best national MC!]
Tick.
I hit the mute button.
“uh??”
“Hey why~”
“Mundae, it’s fun! are you okay!”
not okay
I looked at the screen with bitter eyes.
The second half of the shoot is really… It is expected.
