Do-hee’s Home Mama was confused whether to laugh or cry in the current atmosphere.
“This is happening…?”
[What’s the story behind Seven’s Do-hee Lee smiling at the contestants of the new season of Jeodol?]
Do-hee’s rumors began linked with [Jeodol Season 4].
[Topist is updating on the lawsuit against ‘haters’… “No leniency”]
[Seven’s Do-hee in the middle of a controversy over manipulated photos “Written out of jealousy”… Apology from the distributor]
And a series of controversies including the spread of false information and lawsuits.
[“So handsome…” The girl idol went to directly watch the ‘Holland match’ and what she did]
[Do-hee, exploding fan heart in London… Enchanting fans with her beauty]
Ending with the cheerful conclusion of the latest incidents.
The series of events, whether good or bad, significantly increased the mention of Seven’s traffic.
And interest in Seven ultimately meant an increase in exposure for their title track <음(Melody)>.
-I really don’t listen to idol songs, but I hear Seven songs everywhere on the street, and after searching for them a few times, now they pop up in my algorithm… Have I been brainwashed?
└ I also saw it pop up in my algorithm while reading an article; I swear YouTube is monitoring their personal records.
-The song, choreography, and point dance are so well done, it’s amazing.
-Please take it easy on the challenges; my sister is doing it at home, and it’s so annoying, she keeps asking me to open the door like she’s Kim Seo-yoon or something.
└ LOL Kim Seo-yoon’s part really sticks in your head though.
It’s frequently mentioned in the office worker community.
And this trend clearly showed in the indicators.
Daily Chart
─ 1【SAVEN – 음(Melody)】
─ 2【Coral Blue – Troika】
The chart ranking has remained unchanged even into the third week of Seven’s activities.
-Wow, Seven is still in first place?
-Coral Blue going toe-to-toe is impressive, for real.
-Wow, I just remembered and listened again after a long time, it’s so epic! I love 음(Melody)!
-They are really holding strong.
-The song doesn’t get boring, but wow, it’s Coral Blue… I never thought.
The long-term dominance of the chart means that mainstream popularity is crucial, and they needed to become a so-called muggle pick.
Since Seven kept the buzz going, the spotlight on the comeback of Coral Blue was delayed.
“It wouldn’t have been strange if they had been pushed out a week ago…”
Just the initial sales difference alone isn’t even double.
[Coral Blue, setting a new record for first-week sales among domestic girl groups… Over 1.8 million copies]
[Seven achieves a career high, setting a new record for the 4th generation girl groups with initial sales of 920,000 copies]
At this point, it would be safe to say that in Korea, the buzz surrounding Seven and Coral Blue clearly positioned them as strong competitors.
However, the bigger Seven became, the more palpable the sense of disappointment.
Regret.
“I shouldn’t have liked this project group for no reason…”
The fact that the third album activities are wrapping up means there’s hardly any time left in their active period.
What’s the point of doing well?
They’ll end up disbanding anyway.
Perhaps that’s why Coral Blue fans seem to somewhat acknowledge the rivalry between the two groups.
– “Let’s just listen to good songs instead of comparing… why do they keep comparing? lol…”
– “Both songs are really good. It’s a true K-pop renaissance, seriously. T_T”
– “Wow, the fact that Seven is being compared to Coral Blue means they’ve really risen… their song is really good.”
– “3rd gen Coral Blue and 4th gen Seven do match up; it’s nice, lol. I hope Seven becomes like Coral Blue!”
└ “That’s tough… if they keep going like this, they’ll write girl group history next year… T_T”
Of course, there were still comments suggesting that Coral Blue is the top tier.
Amid it all, a familiar username caught Home Mama’s eye.
– “Fans of a successful team, stop instigating fights among groups… Go Seven! Fighting~”
“Ah, crap… isn’t that the girl who was leaving hate comments last time?”
Home Mama was about to reply furiously, but paused typing.
Seeing that even toxic fandoms had started a masquerade made her think that Seven had definitely reached the top tier orbit.

On the Sunday marking the end of the third album activities.
Daily Chart
▲ 1【Coral Blue – Troika】
▼ 2【SAVEN – Melody】
The chart rankings changed.
“It was nonsense to think we could last two weeks after Coral Blue’s comeback.”
Our goal was to last just one week, so the fact that we lasted longer was an achievement, even though we lost the number one position in week three; it was still a festive atmosphere.
Just look at Kim Seo-yoon with her pink hair swaying.
“Kim Seo-yoon hard carry~”
Right…
I did all the struggling…

=======================
I posted stuff like this on Instagram to draw attention…!
That pink-haired girl…
“What are you looking at?”
– “Wow, but this time Seo-yoon is a legendary mess…”
– “Everyone is pretty, but this song is just perfect for Seo-yoon. They fit too well…”
Fans’ main opinion on the fancam.
This title song belongs to Kim Seo-yoon.
“I worked so hard…”
It’s all because of that pink-haired girl.
It’s because of the pink hair.
The song got cursed, so instead of lasting three weeks, it only lasted two.
“You’re thinking something weird again.”
“Wow, your hair color is pretty~ Should I do it next time too!”
“Ah, what were you thinking?”
Avoiding the perceptive Kim Seo-yoon, I turned my head.
Sera Unni was playfully tugging at her hair.
“Today… did the hair essence… work out well~”
Her eyes were craving compliments.
“Just black hair.”
“Hmph… but your hair looks nice today…”
Sera Unni becomes more fun to tease as time goes on.
“What about me…!?”
This time, Ye-eun Unni, who loves to imitate her older sisters, was swaying her blonde hair.
“Ye-eun Unni…”
I’ve been scolding her too much lately.
Is it finally time to give her a compliment?
“Blonde suits you so well. Seriously, you look so pretty. Chic and sophisticated. Totally awesome.”
“Hehe.”
She thinks it’s great.
“I want to bleach mine too… Eun Se-ra wants silver…”
No matter what, whether late or early, losing the number one spot on the charts was a given.
That Coral Blue!
So, I don’t think much of it.
I guess I’ll blame Kim Seo-yoon.
“What’s with your expression? Why do you keep looking at me like that?”
Raising the corners of my mouth and giving my signature cryptic smile has become my new joy, watching Kim Seo-yoon’s reaction.
“Has she been like this for just a day or two? You’ll have to deal with it.”
“Sigh, our Ha-rang Unni should’ve been the Topist. She must put up with that for five more years.”
“I’d rather have Ha-rang Unni, honestly.”
Pink head.
“Ha~ Jeon Ha-rang, the guilty human. The life of a popular person, ha.”
—Knock knock
At that moment, a knock sounded from outside the waiting room.
“Yes, one moment!”
Da-hong, the manager unni, reflexively got up from her seat and approached the door.
When she opened it, six girls in reformed white dresses, giving off a somewhat warrior-like vibe, greeted us brightly.
“We’d like to introduce ourselves! Shining, Luminous, Striking! Hello, we are SLS!”
We followed suit and greeted them.
“Ah, hello~”
Then, a determined-looking man, full of resolution—Oh Hyun-soo, the manager—approached them and politely shook hands.
“Hello, I’m Gui Myeon from BYS Entertainment. We just debuted SLS and have begun activities together. Nice to meet you.”
Typical of a rookie girl group manager.
“Ah, BYS. Nice to meet you. You really didn’t have to go through the trouble of greeting us.”
Actually, the culture of visiting the waiting room to greet others had slowed down recently because senior idols were tired of it, but it showed no signs of disappearing.
‘I’m fine with it, but Do-hee sunbae… Hmph.’
It’s not a custom or an obligation.
Rather, it’s a voluntary greeting.
“Hey guys, let’s give them our album.”
At the manager’s words, the members came over and handed out albums.
A short-haired girl approached me.
“Hello, I’m SLS Mia! I’m really a fan of Do-hee sunbae!”
She appeared to be four years older than me.
It was quite a blow to her pride that she approached me, younger than her, with such humility.
“This is our debut album, and we prepared it really, really hard! Thank you so much for listening!”
Despite that, coming to greet was for the purpose of getting to know other idols.
“Oh, thank you~ I’ll listen a lot!”
In this age, where countless songs are reviving through challenges that go up on short form, it was an obligation to have connections with other idols.
In fact, companies even invited idols from other companies for formal schedules.
We had also done challenges while hanging out with other famous groups more than a couple of times.
“Um, could I… take a photo with you since I’m a fan?”
The purpose was even to take a friendly picture and post it on SNS.
With the hope of attracting even a little more fans by riding on our popularity.
“Of course.”
I didn’t dislike it.
It’s just me doing my best.
“But you have to tell me who is the prettiest here!”
If we are going to build a friendship, this kind of question is necessary.
“Um…”
The girl named Mia looked a bit flustered, glancing at our members before she said.
“I’m really a fan, so… Do-hee sunbae is the prettiest!”
That’s the correct answer, junior.
“Wow, you really don’t have an eye for beauty, huh…?”
And then the pink-haired one chimed in.
“Mia unnie must have a very objective eye, so I guess it can’t be helped. Unnie, do you have a challenge? Let’s go take some pictures together.”
It’s a reward.
I’ll stick a straw in there.
.
.
.
“Thank you! Do-hee sunbae!”
“Let’s do a challenge together next time! Fighting!”
After finishing the cheer for the challenge, we returned to the waiting room.
This time, all the members were standing.
And Manager Hyun-soo approached us.
“Coral Blue came to the music show today.”
After the music release.
Coral Blue, who hadn’t participated in a single music show schedule for two weeks due to overseas schedules.
“Let’s go say hi.”
It was again time for the juniors to shine.
