[As I said, it seems like they were truly inspired by Self-Content.]
Lira hesitated for a moment, about to send a text after watching the whole music video.
“Hmm.”
No need to even look; it was obvious.
If she sent the message, Do-hee would come rushing back to the studio, chattering away.
But Lira was always honest, as usual.
[The song and the music video are fun!]
Debonaire’s new song concept.
B-grade comedic music video.
It was a concept seen quite often in K-pop, but from the moment the song was released, it seemed to often stir up troubles, like a double-edged sword.
This was because the goal was to maximize lightheartedness, which many people found off-putting.
On top of that, idols had to face risks too.
They had to step away from the perfect and sophisticated idol image represented by the word itself and adorn themselves with exaggerated humor.
That’s why.
Even a dominating leading girl group like Coral Blue never felt the need to challenge this concept.
After all, other groups frequently adopted it mainly for marketing and viral reasons.
To highlight the uniqueness of a bland group while building an original worldview.
In other words, for a leading group like Debonaire, which already had a clear identity and didn’t even need to go viral, it was a concept they simply didn’t need to try.
“I’m not really trying to bounce back from a momentary slip.”
However, still, Lira somehow felt she could guess the simple reason why Do-hee attempted this.
[Do-hee: Isn’t it fun?]
Because she finds it fun.
Just looking at the reply she got back proves that.
[Do-hee: But sis, I guess you watched our music video right away?]
[Do-hee: (smirking pigeon emoji)]
“Where did she get that from?”
[Do-hee: LOL]
Honestly, she didn’t want to admit it, but the aspects she found similar to herself in Do-hee were more about that personality and vibe than abilities.
Lira also expressed her preferences as long as it was fun.
It was her habitual saying that the essence of pop music was in its entertainment value.
Well, Do-hee probably knew that too.
Anyway, Lira was feeling joyful for the first time in a while.
She was even curious about how the reactions of other girl groups resonated with the public, enough to head over to the community and click on popular posts.
That was unusual for Lira since her rookie days.
=====================
[This time, the story of Debonaire’s Tekma-Baek music video, where Do-hee took on the role of Ra-hee (Warning: Long post)]
(Cat.jpg)
It all started when a cat appeared to the members, who were living peacefully.
(Members looking down.jpg)
g)
Why does Na-eun look so pretty in those horn-rimmed glasses?
(Supervising Member Do-hee 1.gif)
Did Ra-hee suddenly get mad?
She’s throwing her headset…
(Cat_Not_There.jpg)
The cat suddenly vanished without a trace.
…
…
…
(Telescope_Rooftop_Scene.jpg)
Finally, the cat thief Quick Silbi Kimchi has been spotted!!!
(Supervising Member Do-hee 2.gif)
Do-hee is super mad at Silbi petting the cat, LOL. Her getting angry and then hitting the wall, only to hurt her hand is just hilarious! ROFL
(Just_Run.jpg)
Anyway, the members are sprinting down the stairs.
(Woo-ah_Jumps1.jpg)
But suddenly, someone jumps off the rooftop all alone…
(Woo-ah_Jumps2.gif)
Turns out, Woo-ah is a telekinetic (Esper)!
Suddenly, the Debonaire universe expands.
The music video becomes a supernatural power story!
(Furious_Drive1.jpg)
As soon as she lands, Woo-ah steals a sports car!
(Furious_Drive2.jpg)
The reflection of Woo-ah in the side mirror is just heart-stopping.
…
…
…
(Getting_Hit_By_Car_Quick_Silbi_Kimchi.gif)
LOL, Woo-ah gets hit by a car for taking the cat, ROFL!
(Chiyo_Expressionless1.jpg)
(Chiyo_Expressionless2.jpg)
Meanwhile, Chiyo is just flying by so calmly, LOL.
…
…
…
(Back_Home_With_Woo-ah.jpg)
Hey kitty, this is your home…
(Wrong_Meeting.jpg)
Uh, who are you…?
(This_Is_My_House.jpg)
Woo-ah runs into Supervising Member Dorahee at the entrance.
(Just_Run_Away.jpg)
Woo-ah dodges eye contact with a nervous look.
Supervising Member Dorahee seems pretty scary!
(Elevator_Door_Open.jpg)
Haha, can’t run away now, LOL! The older sisters are right behind her!
(Top_Actor_Jiwoo.gif)
Oh man, Jiwoo’s acting is so breathless, ROFL! The swallowing and rolling eyes had me laughing for ages, LOL.
(Woo-ah_Going_To_Die.gif)
Meanwhile, the camera movement is great, but if you look closely, the other members are all grabbing Woo-ah’s clothes, LOL. You can even spot someone tugging her hair, who is that?
(Emergency_Exit_Open.gif)
Is that the emergency exit suddenly opening in the corridor?
Is it Seoyoon…?
(The_Ultimate_Winner.jpg)
Seeing her holding the cat without a scratch, it seems she calmly persuaded the members…
(Amidst_War.jpg)
I guess it was peace through overwhelming power, LOL.
(Sacrificial_Lambs1.jpg)
The telekinetic Woo-ah is sprawled out on the floor, ROFL!
(Sacrificial_Lambs2.jpg)
Do-hee kneeling with her hands up, LOL!
Was she a fake supervising member, ROFL?
(Sacrificial_Lambs3.gif)
What on earth is Na-eun doing stuck in the wall? LOL
It seems Seo-yoon was an Ability User of the Strength Strength Fruit…;;
It looked like the owner of the cat was going to be Kim Seo-yoon, the Strength Strength Fruit Ability User.
But suddenly, the three of them started glancing at each other?
(Attention Game Starts.gif)
Did Kim Seo-yoon just overpower everyone? Yup.
And why is Do-hee so adorably lowering her hand? LOL
(Wait_Wait_Wait.jpg)
And just like that, a sudden slap fight begins! Hahahahaha
Wait, was that you, Do-hee? The one pulling Jiwoo’s hair earlier? ROFL
Anyway, the reason for the re-ignited slap fight is revealed here:
(Seo-yoon’s_House.jpg)
While petting a cute cat, Seo-yoon began to scrutinize it… Something felt off.
(Seo-yoon is Angry gif)
It wasn’t a cat; it was a doll?
Seo-yoon throwing it on the floor in anger! LOL ㅠㅠ
The strong Seo-yoon was actually under a hypnosis spell.
Since when had she mistaken it for a cat?
Honestly, at this point, the regulars probably figured it out right away…
Na-eun’s embarrassing debut nickname that she recalls…
(Na-eun_Wink_Kiss.jpg)
Magical Girl Kim Na-eun! Hahahaha
└The oldest, 24 years old, Leader
Oh look, here’s a cheeky Magical Girl winking at the camera and blowing a hand kiss! LOL
Who asked for this acting? I’m losing my mind! Hahaha
Na-eun must have been blushing the entire time!
I want to see the behind-the-scenes footage ASAP!
(Hallway_Cat.jpg)
Anyway, as expected, the cat is still hanging out in the hallway.
(Triple Threat.gif)
And the fight between the telekinetic Magical Girl and the squad leader over the cat continues…
(Do-hee is Weak 1.jpg)
Do-hee got blinded by the flash magic! LOL
Isn’t that a scene where her eyes are on fire? ROFL
(Do-hee is Weak 2.jpg)
Running towards Woo-ah, and then Do-hee gets flung by Woo-ah’s telekinesis! Hahaha
Is it just Do-hee suffering? Hahahaha
(Group Dance Scene.jpg)
Meanwhile, the group dance scene keeps getting intercut…
(Do-hee_is_Cute.gif)
Do-hee dancing in the center is just too cute…
Had to include this, not a part of the story, just because she’s pretty! Yup!
(Do-hee is Flying.gif)
And here’s yet another reason you need to watch the music video!
Every time Do-hee flies and her face dancing in the center is edited together, I can’t stop laughing! Hahaha
Anyway,
(Do-hee Squad Leader 3.jpg)
Do-hee manages to get up perfectly fine even while flying.
Her eyes were clearly shut before…?
Right, Do-hee also has this ability:
(Do-hee Squad Leader 4.jpg)
Regeneration ability! LOL
Believing in that, Do-hee charges in again! Hahaha
And so, the fight between these three continues!
(Shedding light on the window.gif)
Because of the soft-fist regenerating Ability User, the fight never ends, haha. The fight that started in the afternoon continues into the evening and night.
But finally, the hallway is captured on screen again!
(Survival of the fittest.jpg)
Do-hee, howling alone under the moonlight…! Hahahaha!
Even though the fight took a long time, it’s not the strong who survive, it’s the survivors who are strong…
(Elevator_door_is_opening2.gif)
Na-eun, Silbi Kimchi: What are you doing over there?
Do-hee: … (serious expression)
Hahahaha, why is this music video so hilarious? Hahaha!
Na-eun and Silbi Kimchi’s comeback, hahaha!
(Hallway full shot.jpg)
So in the end, all the members gathered again, haha!
(Cat.gif)
But the problem is that the cat, terrified by the members’ fight, was fleeing through the ventilation duct…
(Cat perspective.gif)
The members smile and gesture for the cat to come over, but…
It ultimately escapes!
(Dance break.gif)
The members’ dance break after losing the cat…ㅠㅠ
Meanwhile, the lyrics go: I’ve been holding it in, holding it in, holding it in, holding it in, I’m dying, I’m dying, I’m dying…
For real, it’s pure obsession!
The song is so good that while writing this, I was bouncing around…
(Members jumping around.gif)
Anyway, the members ended up searching everywhere from cities to rural areas and mountain villages looking for the cat…
(Dozens of years later.gif)
And still, the Devengeous members are wandering around looking for the cat… Hahaha!
─Wait, did you really get inspired by the inspiration camp? Hahaha.
└I laughed for a long time when Chiyo appeared as Quicksilver, hahahahaha!
└Unexpectedly, Na-eun became a Magical Girl again, hahaha!
└Na-eun was kinda enjoying not having the Magical Girl nickname because of her tortured leader image lately, hahaha. Oh, for real, Do-hee is pure evil.
└I find it super funny that Seo-yoon is just the strong concept, it’s hilarious, hahaha!
─But seriously, the music video and song are both crazy, they’re super fresh…
└For real, that part where it cuts off in the bridge and then explodes, the scream—seriously, Do-hee really knows how to hit people where it hurts.
└I can’t remember the last time I rewatched a music video, haha. It’s so fun, and the editing is top-notch…
─Basically, the song is insane, but I mean, what kind of beat is this delicious?
─I love that instead of the usual love triangle with a typical male lead getting jealous, they went for a more interesting direction, haha! The B-grade vibes were so great, and the members’ acting keeps unexpectedly cracking me up! They’re just geniuses!
