Chapter 422:
[BLUE MOON]
A red flame flashed by, leaving behind blue letters.
Below them, a small flame passed by, revealing smaller letters.
[And]
[Lee Seo-jun]
A replay button appeared on the screen that had turned pitch black.
“Wow, the moon looks awesome!”
Park Ee-deun, who had added the blue moon as the background in the final edit of the music video, sparkled his eyes. Kim Si-hoon, who had added the throne, nodded his head repeatedly.
“I thought it matched well when we filmed it, but it's definitely cool.”
“The crown too.”
Jung Eun-sung, who had added a crown with a red jewel in the shape of a dragon, said proudly.
“I was wondering what he was thinking when he put that scene in, but... it's good.”
“Yeah. Seo-jun did a great job acting.”
“Maybe because he's done a lot of royal roles in historical dramas?”
“Now that you mention it, Jin Natra is also a royal, right?”
Lee Seo-jun laughed at Choi Jae-won and Baek Yi-hyun's conversation.
Park Ee-deun and Kim Si-hoon spoke with excited faces.
“Let's check out the fans’ reactions! They must have noticed by now!”
“Other people must have been shocked too!”
“We have a final rehearsal tomorrow, so let's watch a little and go to bed.”
At Choi Jae-won's words, everyone nodded reluctantly and then quickly lifted their phones with bright faces. Seo-jun also checked the comments on the music video first.
“Wow...”
It was not just a surprise, but a storm that was raging.
***
-Isn't the Blue Moon music video coming out soon?
=Yeah yeah yeah
=Are you going to watch it?
=222 I'm curious if it's an actor I know or a new member lol
-There seem to be quite a few people who are going to other sites too.
=The teaser was blatantly trolling lol
-If it's noise marketing, then it's a successful response, but... if they want to go in a good direction, they need something more than a twist.
=222 The new member is someone who can be recognized at a glance or
=333 Even if it's an actor, they need to have some name value
-It's 12 o’clock! I’ll post right after I watch it!
=I’ll probably post right after seeing the new member's face lol
=Me too. I don't think I’ll watch till the end.
And then, no posts came up for more than five minutes after 12 o’clock.
It seemed that more people than expected had gone to watch the Blue Moon music video out of curiosity, so there were very few new posts.
It seemed like the site had stopped due to lag.
-Why aren't there any posts?
=I know. They should have seen it by now, right?
=Should I go watch it too?
The remaining people also went to YouTube with curiosity and didn't come back.
On the other hand, the comment section of YouTube [(MV)BLUE MOON(블루문)-BLUE MOON] was filled with comments that were unbelievable for a music video that had been uploaded for only 20 minutes.
Most of them were comments that were posted within 10 minutes of uploading, but they were so stunned by the unbelievable fact that they unknowingly pressed the replay button and watched it several times before they finally understood the situation and started posting comments one by one.
-???
The first comment full of question marks was followed by,
-??? What is this???
-Why is he here??
-Wow... crazy!
-Why is Lee Seo-jun here?!?!
There were comments from people who had come to watch the music video for fun and were shocked,
-...I'm not seeing things right now, am I?
=22 It seems like we’re seeing the same thing???
=333 Why is this actor in our kids’ music video???
And comments from Blue Moon's fans who had been restless for a week and had been shaking their legs for four hours because of the teaser and watched the music video as soon as it came out at 12 o’clock sharp.
-...Why is our actor here?
-I came here worried about Seo-jun's friends... but Seo-jun is here?
-I thought his next work was a graduation performance lol
=222 An identity beyond imagination! OMG!!
-Our Seo-jun dancing!!
-His hair is blue...
Of course, there were also Sprouts who were confused by their sudden appearance of their actor.
As time passed and they regained their senses one by one,
They all moved quickly to spread this amazing and amazing fact.
That's how confusion and chaos spread from the YouTube comment section to all kinds of sites.
There were reporters among them.
The appearance of a new member was good, and the appearance of a rookie actor from Cocoa Entertainment, who was pushing for him, was also good.
Whatever it was, it was a person who could attract people's interest with a catchy headline and get views.
The reporters who had been refreshing YouTube from 12 o’clock to eat up the views were stunned by the identity of the actor who appeared in the music video.Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com
“Why is Lee Seo-jun here?”
It was a surprising fact, but they couldn't afford to lose their minds.
He was a person who could get more views than a new member or a rookie actor.
The reporters who came to their senses quickly typed on their keyboards.
[Who is the actor who appeared in Blue Moon's music video?!]
[Why are you here? Actor Lee Seo-jun, appearing in Blue Moon's music video!]
[He was neither a new member nor a rookie actor!]
[The truth from Cocoa Entertainment! Where did the rumor start?]
As they uploaded the articles, some of the reporters were shaking their legs and checking if there were any problematic articles among the ones they had written for a week.
=22 How am I going to work today......ᄒ
=333 I have to go to school tomorrow lol My mom doesn't know I'm using my phone, so it's hardᄃ
=Gone;;;
-It seems like you got caught;;;
-Ah... I want to see an analysis, but you won't do it, right?
-You won't do itᅲ It's too short and not your field.
-Can I do it? I used to be an idol fan. I don't have much time, so it might be lacking.
-Then I would really appreciate it!
[Title: Blue Moon MV Analysis!]
[Author: Pa Song Song]
I used to be an idol fan, but this is the first time I started to stan an actor and do an MV analysisᄒᄒ But it's nice. It feels like I'm back to my original jobᄒᄒ
I got the data from the Blue Moon fan cafe. I might be lacking compared to the analysis of the Blue Moon fans, so please understand.
I’ll try to write as objectively and plainly as possible.
First of all, the song has an A-B-A’-B’ structure. If we assign a meaning to each part, it would be something like [motivation-debut-after debut-future].
Motivation
This is where the reasons why the Blue Moon members decided to become singers are shown one by one. The fan cafe also has posts about this.
Here, seo-jun's role is ‘Blue Moon’.
So he acts exactly like the Blue Moon members.
He looks like he was inserted by CG as the same person. He shows the same appearance.
Seo-jun, who first appeared in black and white with no presence, gradually gains color by collecting the members’ hearts(?). But none of the Blue Moon members notice Seo-jun right next to them. It's because the group ‘Blue Moon’ hasn't been formed yet.
Debut
The dance part that starts with [I became the moon!] announces the birth of ‘Blue Moon’.
The members recognize ‘Blue Moon’ and stop moving with a smile. It seems like they are showing the process of changing from individuals to a group.
That's how Seo-jun receives the members’ hearts(?) and rises from the right side of the stage, expressing his growing presence like a crescent moon-half moon-full moon.
After debut
Debut is not the end of being an idol. There are many days of anxiety and fear after debut, worrying about albums and the future.
The Blue Moon members also show their confusion and worry. But unlike the previous part, they solve it together with ‘Blue Moon’.
This time, he acts as a part of them.
Even I, who don't know much about Blue Moon, could see the difference in atmosphere. I was amazed there. The Blue Moon fans must know better.
Future
The last part. (The part that I was mesmerized byᄒᄒ)
Wouldn't every idol want to be the most loved and famous?
It seems like a part that expresses well their dream of becoming the king(?) of the idol world. They chose a full moon as the background to show their group name ‘Blue Moon’.
Personally, I liked how ‘Blue Moon’ became confident and arrogant after saying [I will shine the brightest] and then became gentle at [So you can see me], showing that they are serious about their career but warm to their fansᄒᄒ
The use of ‘you’ in the lyrics.
[When I dreamed alone back then/When I didn't know you back then]
[I realized that I'm not enough alone/With you/I started to shine too]
Here, you can interpret ‘you’ as ‘fan’ or ‘Blue Moon’.
[Yes/I know that I can't shine alone]
[I/Receive your light/Go up high/Shine the brightest]
Here, you can interpret ‘you’ as ‘fan’.
If you think about ‘Blue Moon’ as the moon, you can imagine ‘you’ as the ‘sun’ that gives light to the moon. The red jewel on the crown also looks like a sun. It's a cool way to express the relationship between fan and idol.
(To be continued)
-Wow. You did a great analysis in just two hours!
=ᄀᄊ) Thank you!
-Sun! It's a Blue Moon MV, but why do I like it so muchᄒᄒ
Pa Song Song, or Song Yu-jung, smiled with satisfaction as she rubbed her two hands that had been typing hard on the keyboard.
On one side of the monitor screen, the MV of Blue Moon starring Seo-jun was playing continuously.
It was already 2 am, but she had classes today, but she wanted to stay awake a little longer.
-Lim Ye-na: I like it no matter how many times I watch itᄒᄒ
Lim Ye-na seemed to feel the same way.
She turned her head and saw that it was the fourth part of the MV. Song Yu-jung sat up straight and changed the MV to full screen.
The monitor was filled with the faces of the Blue Moon members.
And ‘Blue Moon’ appeared.
Blue Moon walked slowly and sat on the throne.
He put on a red jewel crown by himself.
He lifted his head and smiled confidently and arrogantly.
And he smiled gently.
[So you can see me]
“Huff...!”
She didn't know how many times she had seen this scene.
The combination of crown, throne, and Seo-jun was perfect.
The blue hair and blue eyes added mystery to perfection.
She was completely hooked by the actor's idol-like appearance, a former idol fan, a current actor fan, song Yu-jung groaned.
Meanwhile, a new comment was posted.
-Pa Song Song! It's time for you to show your original skills again!
=(Link)(Link)(Link)
=(Notice Link)
She tilted her head and clicked on the link. And then she opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth wide.
“...Wow. What is this?”
There were four links, but they all contained the same content.
It seemed like Cocoa Entertainment's surprise gift was not over yet.
[Blue Moon×Seo-jun, appearing on Music Bank tomorrow!]
[Actor Seo-jun, scheduled to appear on Music Core with Blue Moon!]
[Actor Seo-jun, appearing on Inkigayo this Sunday!]
[Sprout-Notice: How to apply for pre-recording]
It was 2 am in the morning, just two hours after the Blue Moon MV was uploaded.
The internet exploded.
