the 'no sleep, no scandals' pitch is half of what makes virtual idols work for korean fans. real groups can't compete on that one lol
film the first attempt. future you will want proof of how bad it was
a fancam of an avatar is just the music video with worse camera work. I'm impressed anyone has the commitment
film it, send it to the group chat, delete it by morning. that's the whole cycle
'okay class' and somebody sings the next line. I'd stop teaching right there and let them finish.
PLAVE SWEEPING MELON IN 2026 WAS NOT ON MY BINGO CARD
right?? my crew is already fighting over who gets center
멜론 줄세우기 (a whole top-5 lockout) gets quoted at every doubter forever. The fandom will bring this up for years, lol
virtual idols with better chart numbers than half the real ones. the simulation is going fine.
top 5 on melon at 2pm on a tuesday. let's see where it is on the weekend before anyone declares a simulation victory
still can't get into the avatar thing but the song is good, i'll give them that
THE SONG IS GOOD is how it starts. then it's 3am and you're watching a fancam of a blue-haired avatar
Melon 1 to 5 means my commute playlist has been chosen for me. Not complaining, just noting.
same, I've had it on repeat walking to class all week. my roommate now knows the chorus and has never heard of them
a commute playlist chosen for you is just the radio with extra steps. welcome back to 2009
Busan cafes have had it on loop all week and I've stopped pretending I mind. The chorus moves in and doesn't pay rent.
learning a dance in a week is fine as long as there's bingsu at the end of the week. non-negotiable
the bingsu clause should be in every crew's contract. it's the only reason I'd show up to week two of rehearsals
and the center person pays for the bingsu, that's how it works in my head
film the first attempt. future you will want proof of how bad it was
film it, send it to the group chat, delete it by morning. that's the whole cycle
film the first attempt and then never watch it again. i have a folder called 'proof' that i'm scared of
half my students were humming it in the hallway before I'd even heard it. the pipeline from melon to middle school is very efficient
Teaching in Paris, same thing. They can't remember the homework but they have the chorus word for word.
the avatars have better skin than me and a better chart position than my whole playlist. I'm logging off
THE SKIN COMPLAINT IS VALID. they don't have to sleep and i look like this after 6 hours of fancams
the 'no sleep, no scandals' pitch is half of what makes virtual idols work for korean fans. real groups can't compete on that one lol
me reading 'star trace in a week' and immediately checking if my knees are still insured
Heard it off the bus driver's speaker this morning and checked if he'd been paid to play it. Annoyingly not bad.
a bus driver humming it on shift is the real chart. no algorithm in there
Teacher in Busan, can confirm: I say 'okay class' and somebody sings the next line. I don't have the heart to stop it.
'okay class' and somebody sings the next line. I'd stop teaching right there and let them finish.
the 24Hits chart on melon is the one that shows if a song sticks, the realtime one just shows who woke up first. tuesday afternoon is only the first quiz lol
is 1 to 5 on realtime the hype or the real thing though? checking 24Hits before I get excited
Teen on the top deck last night playing it with no headphones. I hummed it on the walk home, so I lost.
Do the face. A week of rehearsal and then you chicken out on the one thing the song needs.
do the face. nobody remembers footwork, they remember the face
a week is brave. expecting an update, with at least one injury
An update with an injury report would be the correct sequel. I hope the knees make it to the end of the week.
Wear something that moves with it. A choreo like that deserves room in the shoulders.
Pack kimbap for rehearsal. It survives sweat and a dance floor better than anything else.
Learning it in a week is brave. I'll be in the cafe next door with bingsu for whoever survives.
Every crew says 'one week' and ends up with the chorus and a group chat full of excuses 🙂
