Chapter 43 Japanese Magazine Photography
Just after his birthday, Cube Entertainment announced that its artist Han Yoon-sung will release his mini-album "yippee!" on September 30th, and will also debut in R country.
The less than two-week pre-sale period left fans both excited for the new song and furious with the company.
Han Yoon-sung herself flew to R country the day after her birthday to shoot her first magazine cover.
Speaking of boarding, Han Yunxing encountered a little incident.
The reporters she met at her debut showcase were also sent by the newspaper to photograph Han Yoon-sung this time.
When she saw the familiar reporter, she waved to greet her from across the street.
"Yunxingxi is making a heart shape with her hands~"
Han Yunxing made her signature dimple heart shape with her hands for the camera, tilting her head and smiling at the reporter.
"Have a safe journey, Yunxing. Take care of your health while you're abroad."
Han Yunxing listened attentively and nodded to indicate that she understood. Then she sweetly said to her, "Unnie, will you come to pick me up when I come back?"
The reporter was clearly under Han Yunxing's control; even her mask couldn't hide the upturned corners of her mouth as she cheerfully announced, "Of course! I'll come pick you up."
After Han Yunxing got off the plane, the group went to their hotel.
This trip was to shoot the October cover of Ginza. As a local women's fashion magazine, Ginza always surprises readers with its casual yet stylish covers.
The editors of Ginza had noticed Han Yoon-sung a long time ago. In their words, Han Yoon-sung has a clear and aloof temperament, and her smile has a great contrast.
The theme of this shoot was to reminisce about the 1980s, and the shooting location was set up as a subway car.
Han Yunxing arrived at the venue on time and went to the dressing room to get her makeup done.
Worried that Han Yoon-sung might not understand Japanese, the magazine even arranged for a translator to accompany the makeup artist.
In reality, Han Yunxing's Japanese listening and speaking skills were quite good. At this moment, the atmosphere was just right, and the makeup artist chatted happily with her while her hands kept moving.
"The lip color is really pretty, but I need to cover it up." The makeup artist gently pinched Han Yunxing's chin to examine her, then took out a small powder puff and patted it on.
Today's makeup leans towards a retro nude color scheme. The makeup artist used earth-toned eyeshadow to highlight Han Yunxing's deep eyebrows and eyes. The makeup on her face is not heavy. In addition to deepening the facial bone structure, more attention is paid to creating a bright and fresh look for her skin.
With her hair tied in a low bun, Han Yunxing carefully tucked two strands of bangs out on either side of her forehead, creating an overall lazy and casual feel.
Han Yunxing tilted her head slightly from side to side in front of the mirror, and the exaggerated gold earrings on her ears swayed slightly.
After finalizing her makeup, Han Yunxing changed into her shooting outfit and arrived at the shooting location under the guidance of the staff.
Inside the carriage, people were dressed in suits and ties, making the most of their commute to read newspapers and books. The cold, hard atmosphere was broken by the arrival of Han Yunxing, who barged in carrying an envelope and a cup of coffee.
The loose zebra-print turtleneck sweater accentuated her languid charm, while the black leather skirt revealed a glimpse of her fair calves. Sunlight cast a soft glow from her side, making her amber eyes appear like glass amidst the play of light and shadow.
The photographer checked the footage captured in the camera with satisfaction and had Han Yunxing change into an indigo puff-sleeved top with a black and gold camera bag casually hanging around her neck. She paired it with black lantern pants, and the hem of the top was tucked into her waist, making her waist look slender.
Months of filming experience have made Han Yunxing very comfortable in front of the camera, her eyes conveying a natural sense of story. The photographer felt that today's shoot exceeded expectations.
From a low angle, Han Yunxing leans against the car door, her posture relaxed, looking at the camera with her face turned to the side. She doesn't need to make any exaggerated or eye-catching expressions in front of the camera; she is free and easy.
"OK!" the photographer shouted to Han Yunxing, who was inside the set.
Han Yunxing walked over to the equipment to look at the finished product. She had to admit that the photographer had a keen eye for capturing light and shadow, and the picture was very beautiful.
Filming ended close to dinnertime. Han Yunxing didn't go with her manager; instead, she took a walk alone on the city streets in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Without worrying about being recognized, she enjoyed her time alone on the streets of a foreign country.
"Could you please take a picture for us?"
As she reached the corner, Han Yunxing turned around and looked toward the source of the voice. The people who had called her were a couple.
The girl had been observing for a while and noticed that Han Yunxing was dressed like she knew how to take photos, so she called out to her without hesitation.
"no problem."
Han Yunxing took the phone and took photos of them, and even asked them to try out different poses.
"Thank you so much!" The girl exclaimed, looking at the screen on her phone and holding it up to show the boy next to her.
I got my first ever photo taken!
"Should we take some pictures of her too?" the boy whispered to the girl in Chinese. The person taking their pictures also seemed to be a tourist.
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Han Yunxing's sudden use of Chinese caught the couple off guard; it turned out he was Chinese.
Knowing that the other side had probably misunderstood, Han Yunxing didn't explain, but simply handed them her phone.
"Miss, take off your mask, let me take a few more pictures of you?"
The sunset has completely faded, and the shops lining the streets are all lit up with their neon signs. The streets are bustling with people, and from this street corner, you can see the vibrant nightlife of Kyoto.
Receiving the girl's kindness, Han Yunxing took off her mask, and smiled at the camera with eyes like two crescent moons.
After thanking the two, Han Yunxing planned to return to the hotel. Before leaving, she heard the girl call out to the boy, "That girl is Korean!" She turned around and found Han Yunxing not far away. Her voice suddenly became softer, and then she happily started chatting about other topics. The two walked hand in hand towards the bustling area.
Han Yunxing thought that traveling alone at his own pace was quite interesting, but this idea really troubled Shen Lina.
Back at the hotel, Shen Lina looked at an Instagram post from someone she followed and couldn't help but sigh.
"Yunxing, how can you just give your phone to a complete stranger?"
"You even took off your mask?! There are so many people around, what if you get recognized?"
Han Yunxing lowered her head guiltily and remained silent. She had only given him the phone because she knew those two people didn't recognize her.
Seeing that she seemed to be listening, Shen Lina finally stopped nagging.
"In short, this kind of behavior will be prohibited from now on."
Shen Lina gave the clear order, and Han Yunxing hugged her arm ingratiatingly, saying, "I know! I know! Look at the delicious food I brought you~"
Han Mingyou, who had been too afraid to speak, finally relaxed and smiled as he accepted the dessert from Han Yunxing.
Shen Lina shook her head helplessly, wondering if she should give Han Yunxing some rest time.
But taking a break seems a long way off right now. After returning to Korea, Han Yunxing adjusted her condition slightly and rushed to the company to film the practice room version of "Yippee!".
The full album of "yippee!" was officially released at 5 PM on September 30th.
The title track of this mini-album, "Yippee!", has an intro that is the complete opposite of the song's title, with a bizarre feel. The hard drumbeats in the bridge and chorus create a picture of tearing off the threads that are wrapped around one's body and running freely in the streets.
The non-title track "Kaleidoscope" is a classic deep house track. Is it demure or lively? A young girl's thoughts are fickle, and the me you think I am is just one side of her.
The intro to "Run to You" is captivating enough with its drumbeats. The rich melody and firm rhythm create a grand feeling, as if someone is breaking through all constraints and desperately trying to reach out and grab your hand.
"Bamboo Dragonfly" is the most dreamy song on the album, as if returning to that dreamlike afternoon in childhood, where you float in the air with a bamboo dragonfly and reach out to touch the soft clouds.
The mini-album brought a big surprise to fans, and it can be said that there are no bad songs on the entire album. The title track "Yippee!" and the non-title tracks "Run to You" and "Bamboo Dragonfly" fully demonstrate Han Yoon-sung's creative level.
She can do well not only with ballad OSTs, but also with other genres.
Music critics have been eagerly awaiting Han Yoon-sung's new album comeback for some time now.
After watching the music videos and all the songs on the album, some people have already posted their reaction videos of the entire album online.
Everyone knows that I've liked Lyra since her debut, but to be honest, the quality of Lyra's mini album this time exceeded my expectations and really surprised me.
Let's start with the music video for the title track, "Yippee!" The first shot is of an old-fashioned television with a static-filled screen, followed by a smooth transition to a dilapidated old-fashioned theater. Lyra is now a puppet, omg! I have to say her core control is really strong; she dances this puppet dance so cutely.
The drumbeat was cleverly added; the audience's mechanical clapping brought the puppet to life. Well done, she's untied her strings! OMG, I forgot to mention, Lyra's doll-like appearance suits her perfectly.
She actually crawled out of a television set! It turns out there wasn't just one television set here, there were television sets all around her! This is a television manufacturing factory.
She pushed open the door and ran forward through the abandoned streets.
There's another puppet dance here, but this time it's with the children on the street. It feels completely different from the previous one; it's genuine, heartfelt joy.
Wow, that bouncy, jumping figure at the end was so funny! I'm going to watch it again after I finish.
...
"Bamboo Dragonfly" is my favorite non-single from the whole album. Lyra's voice and the ballad together are absolutely stunning!
This song reminds me of when I was a child, sitting by the fireplace waiting for the cookies to come out of the oven. My mother always liked to make the cookies into cute shapes, and I would always guess what kind of cookie I would get. "Bamboo Dragonfly" is just that kind of whimsical and imaginative piece that allows for free-flowing thoughts.
In short, Lyra consistently exceeded my expectations by one point. Thank you for watching, and please follow me for more updates on Lyra's growth.
Please listen to it! It's really good!
—Haha, this teacher kept praising Yunxing for being cute, and I also think the little wooden puppet scene was especially adorable!
—Only Lyra could pull off layering clothes with such high saturation!
—I'd really like to try on the same style, but would it be too over-the-top for everyday wear? lol
—Autumn is the perfect time to listen to cheerful songs like this; they brighten your mood instantly.
—This time there's also a Japanese version, can I dream of a Chinese cover version? TT
—Of the non-title tracks, I prefer "Run to You"; it feels like being hugged tightly by Yoon-sung.
—The Japanese version of "Run to You" feels even better; the art style of this Japanese shonen manga is so strong it seems to burst out of the screen.
—The pre-sale period was too short this time. Family members, please inquire about the results.
—The number of tickets sold in China is incredible. It's said that there are already 100,000 tickets sold, but we'll have to wait for the first day's data to confirm.
—Our super talented producer, Xing!
—Just a passerby, but I wanted to ask if the album is still available for purchase.
—It's already available for purchase offline. This album also includes a music box standee, which is beautiful!
