Chapter 90 Sailing
SBS Music Center
The hot wind dragged the last days of summer down on people, and the intense heat made the fans who came to pre-record take refuge under the shade of the tent.
Several vans were parked on the roadside. Noticing the banners hanging on the vans, before the staff could even put the roll-up banners down properly, some quick-thinking fans gathered over there.
Qiaoqiao put her arm around her friend An Jingxia's shoulder and stood on tiptoe to see the food truck ahead.
Luckily they arrived early, and it will be their turn soon.
Standing in front of the food cart, the staff greeted Qiao Qiao with a smile, asked if she had any dietary restrictions, and skillfully pressed shaved ice from the machine. They then scooped a spoonful of red beans from a nearby bucket, garnished it with pudding, and handed it to Qiao Qiao with both hands.
An Jingxia quickly got her red bean shaved ice, and the two walked towards the shade. There, some fellow fans had already found a table and were waving to them.
We're all fans who met offline.
After beckoning the people over, they said to the two of them, "Come and take a picture."
Everyone first took a photo of themselves holding their shaved ice against the blue sky and white clouds. When they saw water stains seeping from the white shaved ice under the sunlight, they hurriedly put the shaved ice back on the table.
The fans then wrapped the graffiti canvases on their shoulders into a circle and laid them out on the picnic mats that had been laid out beforehand. The bags were bulging with the scattered sponsored products inside.
That wasn't enough; the small circle in the center of the canvas bag was filled with Han Yunxing's photocards, all of which were the reverse support they had just received.
"Quick, take a picture! The shaved ice is melting!" someone whispered urging from the side.
The thought of shaved ice prompted everyone to pull out their filming equipment, and the camera flashes went off in a flurry, with passersby constantly snapping photos of each other.
Squeezing through the crowd, Qiaoqiao picked up the red bean shaved ice on the table and carefully poked the pudding lying on top of the red beans with her spoon. The pudding was shaped like a rabbit. Watching the rabbit's belly tremble with her movements, Qiaoqiao's hands itched, so she tapped it again with the spoon. Then, with a reluctant look, she walked around it and scooped up the shaved ice next to her.
The moment it entered her mouth, the smooth and creamy shaved ice melted instantly, its cool sensation taking away the body's heat. The red beans were slightly sweet, mellow and smooth, and with the shaved ice, she could eat as much as she wanted without feeling greasy. Qiao Qiao happily squinted her eyes and swallowed the last rabbit pudding in one gulp, licking her lips reluctantly: "The rabbit is so cute, I have to swallow it all in one bite."
An Jingxia silently handed over a tissue. Seeing Qiao Qiao's expression earlier, she thought she was very reluctant to part with her.
While waiting outside for the recording, fans would gather together to chat.
The stars were no exception; after finishing their shaved ice, they slowly gathered together. Today was Han Yunxing's last performance for this comeback, and Qiao Qiao glanced at several familiar faces.
After recognizing each other, everyone gathered together to discuss today's performance. Although there was a pre-recorded report with a written description, Qiao Qiao and the others didn't dare to watch it before coming to perform.
After chatting for a while, everyone's thoughts started to wander, and time began to drag on. So Qiaoqiao took out her tablet from her bag, opened the new album "Reaction" again, and placed it in the center of the table for everyone to watch together.
The blogger who previously posted the mini-reaction video has now done a full analysis of the second one. I've watched it no less than ten times. There's still some time before the music show, and the stars are watching the screen with great interest.
Hi everyone, I'm back again after re-reing "Begin Again".
I mentioned before that I was worried that if Yunxing made too many commercial songs, she would gradually lose her soul.
"A Piece of a Piece" directly slapped them in the face. It has to be our Yunxing sister.
This album blends artistry and commercial appeal exceptionally well! I love this album so much that I played it on repeat before making this video.
Enough with the chit-chat, let's begin.
This blogger is considered a top blogger in the Han Yoon-sung reaction category. At first, they responded to fans' comments about her debut album, and later they started writing a Han Yoon-sung column. They also started watching her variety shows, and shortly after her new album was released, they created a long video to explain it.
Recalling their videos together, the stars joked, "Before, it was Lyra xi, now it's Yunxing, Yunxing sister."
First, repeat after me: This video focuses on reviewing Yunxing's album and will not delve into lengthy comments about her appearance. I'm a professional!
......
(This is a black screen edit; the blogger is shocked by the lengthy post.)
She's an absolute goddess!
Sorry, Yunxing's appearance was so prominently featured in the "Nassos" music video that I listened to the whole song before I knew it.
To reiterate: I am a professional.
It's obvious that the music video intentionally focuses on Yoon-sung's face; the perspective we see now is her looking at her reflection in the water. I think "Narcissus" is a commissioned song, and Yoon-sung very openly demonstrates that she wanted to write a narcissistic song.
The arrangement is very interesting. The intro to the section about walking into the water features a reversed violin melody, and this reverse sound effect propels the core concept of the dream. At first listen, I was completely attracted by the slightly playful self-satisfaction, and in the second half, this self-satisfaction made us, as listeners, feel extremely inflated.
Then, *snap*—
Everything vanished, the water flow reversed and rolled into the sky, transforming into the Milky Way.
At the end of the song, we don't know whether Narcissus accepted himself, destroyed himself, or was soberly intoxicated in a sweet dream with his reflection.
Perhaps each listener has their own interpretation.
Moreover, I must say that Yunxing has not neglected her practice; her singing skills continue to improve, which we can clearly feel in this album.
"Begin Again" wasn't a waste of time; she really learned a lot from those senior figures in the music industry.
She debuted as a formidable force, yet she still managed to provide fans with the joy of nurturing her. This Han Yunxing is awesome!
......
Besides the main track, my favorite is "Out of Control". If you've watched my videos, you should know that I have a strong preference for experimental and artistic arrangements.
Yunxing sampled her own songs in the song "Out of Control," and this callback finale song made the whole album more complete.
I've seen many people feel that this song's style is too unconventional and doesn't fit the overall concept of the album.
I think quite the opposite; this song combines all the emotions of narcissism, mockery, hope, fear, obsession, and longing from the previous six songs into a chaotic kind of happiness.
Does the clash of emotions create real or illusory happiness? All of this is still in a state of flux, and one must experience it for oneself in the midst of this loss of control.
......
Qiaoqiao was very familiar with the video. Next was the blogger's analysis of the music video's design, but they couldn't finish watching it now, as staff members nearby were using megaphones to call people to line up.
She packed her things and, together with An Jingxia, successfully followed the group into the inner area and found their seats.
Their seats faced the center of the stage, quite close to the front. They smiled at each other, completely satisfied.
As the lights changed, the surroundings quieted down. Han Yunxing's performance was the last one. Although the stars on the previous stages didn't understand the cheering rules, they watched the whole thing attentively.
The moment Han Yunxing stood in the center of the stage, all the energy they had saved up burst forth in screams.
Han Yoon-sung's music show promotion schedule has fans both loving and hating it. With two weeks of promotional activities, last week she focused on "Narcissus," and this week she's focusing on "Devil."
This leads to a situation where a competitor often finds themselves fighting against themselves.
The good thing is that last week she had all sorts of goddess-like looks, and this week Han Yoon-sung dyed her long blonde hair red, creating a different kind of villainous look that makes every music show performance something to look forward to.
Special thanks to Cube Makeup Artist.
At the end of the performance, unlike the innocent yet cruel mischievous style of the previous show, Han Yunxing sat on a throne with a towering back that resembled a twisted cross. The dark red surface was covered with cracked patterns, and flames seemed to flicker in the gaps.
A beam of light cleaved through the darkness, revealing Han Yunxing, clad in a black robe and wearing a serpent crown that shimmered with a captivating brilliance. She leaned casually on her throne, chin in hand, watching the clumsy performance within the curtain of fire, her eyes filled with mockery, like a queen of hell.
As if seeing the resentful gaze in the flames, she lazily snapped her fingers, and the flames instantly rose. In the distorted light, the familiar performance began once again.
"Oh, it's starting again?"
How boring...
A languid voice spoke of weariness. As the words fell, the film projector in the movie theater began to play. Han Yunxing rose from her seat and stood in the flames, arms outstretched.
"Red hair is an invitation"
Hell is open tonight
Welcome to my playground
The ticket gate is right in front of your clenched teeth.
Anger is the ticket
Jealousy is a souvenir.
The wide hem of the black robe spread across the stage like midnight waves. Han Yunxing finally grew tired of performing, and a clear yawn came from the microphone. Then the drumbeats changed, and she suddenly ripped open the front of the robe. The black robe spread out to the sides like wings, revealing a dark red silk dress underneath. Her blood-red hair was draped over her shoulders, covering the winding black snake tattoo next to her collarbone.
The music intensified, and she revealed the black wings on her back to the audience, a smirk playing on her lips:
"You hate me"
But I was the one who finished the script.
Now please continue your performance.
Applause for your hypocrisy.
Shedding her languid facade, Han Yunxing displayed unbridled arrogance and swagger, her smooth, rapid-fire rap igniting the entire venue. Fast-paced yet rhythmic, she raised her hand, and a series of applause rang out.
Tired of this never-ending show
I'll take my leave now.
"Card--"
As the clapperboard sounded in the theater, Han Yunxing, bored, reached behind her and plucked a black feather, casually tossing it into the air. Looking at the feather falling to the ground, she ignored it and gracefully turned back to her throne in the flames.
The moment the lights dimmed, cheers swept through the entire venue like a tsunami. Qiaoqiao felt her throat react before her brain. When she came to her senses, her voice was slightly hoarse from the screams. She and An Jingxia exchanged a glance, clearly seeing the excitement in each other's eyes, and then shouted Han Yunxing's name even louder.
This is the best Devil!
Han Yunxing exuded charisma, and her stage presence and stage design were impeccable. Even after the live stream ended, fans were still talking about the performance on the platform.
—Your Majesty, I will follow you forever.
—Aaaaaah, sister, kill me!
—Bulgari really spoils my daughter! They featured her in their music video and even sponsored her with jewelry for this music show promotion. Thank you so much, generous sponsor!
—My rap is so incredibly cool, even if Yoon-sung tries to step on me, I'll lie down and take off your shoes kk
—Upstairs, you're getting a good deal and then acting innocent.
—Sorry, I'm totally obsessed with this pairing. Am I the only one who thinks this flow and pronunciation are somewhat similar to someone else's?
——......
"Ugh, here we go again? How boring..." Here's the original quote for you.
—You mean if you pronounce words the same way, you might as well donate your ears kkk Who doesn't know that someone has a King Sejong-style innovative pronunciation?
—Pfft, I'm a huge fan of my brother, what's with this King Sejong-style pronunciation? hhhh
The stars were actually wondering about what the CP fans were saying. When the music was first released, the strange familiarity of a certain flow made them check the lyrics and music list, but they didn't see any familiar names in the production team.
Moreover, with each performance on the music show stage, today's final performance is a full-blown display of Han Yoon-sung's own style.
On such a joyous day, they didn't want to argue too much, so the topic suddenly veered off to Korean pronunciation.
However, the stars all disappeared shortly afterward.
Cube released an official announcement stating that Han Yoon-sung's first Asian tour [sailing] will begin early next month.
Even though they had been preparing since they first heard the rumors, the stars were still overjoyed when the news was confirmed.
Finally! I can go to Han Yunxing's concert, only her concert.
Ding-dong—
On the ucube platform, Han Yunxing initiated a poll to name the light sticks.
