Chapter 34

RedVelvet
Their first comeback in 2016 was set for March. It was the first time since their debut that they would use a Velvet style song as their main song.
Naturally was a cover song, while Automatic was not the main song. The members were rather nervous.
For the sake of the insurance company, they even made two preparations and came up with a plan to play with two main players.
The other song, Kaleidoscope, which was composed by Lee Hae-na, would be the second RedVelvet style main song.
Due to DD's good results, the company paid special attention to their comeback this time. They hoped to make a big splash and break through the female group's melee, taking the first position of the fourth generation female group in one fell swoop.
Although the first song was titled 7th of July and seemed to be based on the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, from the shooting of the MV, it could be seen that it was actually hinting at the MV incident.
Lee Hae-na was a little scared when she was shooting.
The second main MV
Kaleidoscope was in the style of industrial metal. The theme was to satirize the waste of resources, causing the world to lose its color, and people could only look for color in a kaleidoscope.
Both MVs were quite profound, and Lee Hae-na was deeply impressed by her company's planning. They gave her a song full of vitality such a meaningful theme.
Lee Hae-na's hair was dyed a light silver-purple. After returning to the concept map, she was criticized by fans as "hair color that is supported by the face" and "it would be a non-mainstream series if it were someone else". Lee Hae-na herself liked it quite a lot. Other than her hair being completely dyed four times, which completely turned her hair into dry grass, there were no other shortcomings.
The recording of "Idol" took place in early March.
Because they had two previous experiences, they were considered familiar with the show. Everyone was very relaxed, and under the guidance of the host, they completed the recording very happily.
The full soundtrack would be released at the same time as the broadcast of "Idol" on March 16th. Before that, there were individual and group live streams to warm up the comeback.
Lee Hae-na's live broadcast was still focused on catching dolls. She showed that her doll-catching skills had not improved for ten years. Under the ridicule of her fans, she still stubbornly caught three dolls in ten minutes. She planned to give them to her fans on the day of her return.
Because it was a dual lead, the disadvantage was that the source of the music would be diverted. Everyone was prepared for the music to not do well at first, but they did not expect the results to be worse than expected. Other than kaleidoscope landing a spot on Bugs and Mnet, there was no other place on the music chart. It could be said that this was the worst result since the debut.
Everyone's mood was heavy after reading it. Lee Hae-na couldn't sleep.
Because she couldn't fall asleep, Lee Hae-na went out to sit in the living room. She didn't want to disturb Park Soo-young.
"Ding", the sound of a text message pulled back Lee Hae-na's drifting thoughts.
It was Kim Tae-hyung's.
Silly Ben Ji: [Are you asleep?]
Lee Hae-na: [No.]
Then, his call came in.
"Hello?"
When Kim Tae-hyung's slightly hoarse voice came through, Lee Hae-na remembered that she hadn't heard his voice in a while.
"Hmm?
What's wrong? "Lee Hae-na tried to make her voice sound less listless.
Kim Tae-hyung: "Nothing, I just want to sing for you."
"You're poisonous," Lee Hae-na ridiculed mercilessly, then shamelessly asked for a song. "Sing China's national anthem."
Kim Tae-hyung: "???"
No, I can't.
I'll sing you a song that I know. "
"Okay." Lee Hae-na didn't care.
"The curtain has fallen.
My breathing is heavy.
My heart is filled with complex emotions.
Did I make any mistakes today?
What are the audience's expressions like?
Even so, I'm happy. I've become who I am now.
I can make some people scream for me.
Embracing the lingering sound that hasn't died down.
Now I'm still standing on an empty stage.
When I'm standing on an empty stage.
In front of emptiness, I feel timid.
In complex emotions, on the path of life.
I'm acting dumb for no reason.
It's not the first time, I should've gotten used to it.
I want to hide, but I can't.
The empty stage is cooling down.
The audience is behind me.
Now I'm comforting myself.
There's no perfect world.
Telling myself this.
Gradually emptying myself.
No matter when.
The warm applause doesn't belong to me.
I have the cheek to say this to myself.
Raise your voice and spread it further.
Even if there's no audience forever, I still want to sing.
Want to keep who I am today forever.
Want to be a teenager forever.
Forever
we
are
young
Between the petals flying in the sky.
I'm wandering, running in the maze.
Forever
we
are
young
Even if I fall and get hurt.
I'm still moving towards my dream.
Forever
ever
ever
ever
Dreams and hopes go forward.
Forever

ever
We

”
Speaking of which, this was the first time Lee Hae-na heard Kim Tae-hyung sing rap. Although he didn't have any skills, she had to say that his voice was really suitable for singing rap.
The whole song was sung without accompaniment, but Lee Hae-na felt that it was better than any song with accompaniment.
"What song is this?
I don't think I've heard it before. The lyrics are so good. "Lee Hae-na exclaimed.
"Shh, this is a new song that we haven't released yet. I'm singing it for you."
Kim Tae-hyung's voice was a little proud and a little scared, "If the Farting Emperor knows, I'll be dead."
"Thank you." Lee Hae-na felt warm in her heart, "You're taking the risk of being beaten to comfort me."
"Who, who said I'm comforting you? I, I just want to show off how good our new song is." Kim Tae-hyung stuttered.
"Well, thank you for sharing. The new song is really good. It'll definitely be a hit." Lee Hae-na praised sincerely.
"Your new song is really good too. It'll definitely be a hit. Trust me!" Kim Tae-hyung was afraid that Lee Hae-na didn't believe him, so he added, "I played it all night."
"I know, you're the best." Lee Hae-na finally laughed, "Rest early, your voice is hoarse."
Kim Tae-hyung: "I should be the one saying that.
Sweet dreams, good night. "

Lee Hae-na was shaken awake by Park Soo-young.
"Our sound source went against the flow!
We're first on the seven charts! "Park Soo-young was so excited that her face turned red.
Lee Hae-na was stunned for three seconds before she realized what was going on. She quickly took Park Soo-young's phone and looked at it. Kaleidoscope was first on the seven charts, and one of the remaining three was occupied by July 7th!
Hello?
Was this a dream or reality?
Lee Hae-na was completely confused, "Xiurong, are you pinching me?"
Park Soo-young pinched Lee Hae-na's face.
"Wah!
Are you trying to strangle me? "Lee Hae-na was in pain but happy at the same time. She got up from the bed and walked in circles with Park Soo-young like two retards.
There was a recording session in the afternoon. Lee Hae-na was in a good mood. After the recording session, she recorded a few radio stations and broadcasters. She was full of smiles and energy.
She even sneaked out with Kim Ye-rin and Park Soo-young to eat sashimi for supper when she returned to the dormitory late at night.
Of course, she was caught by her manager sister and scolded again.
Since Kaleidoscope's performance was better than July 7th's, Kaleidoscope's performance was also arranged so that Kaleidoscope's performance was more than July 7th's. Later on, the publicity was also focused on Kaleidoscope.
This time, the company gave them a lot of variety shows, advertisement posters, radio stations, and other resources. As one of the more popular members of the team, Lee Hae-na's schedule was naturally packed.
She woke up at four o 'clock every day and returned to the dormitory at twelve o' clock at night. She was so tired that she didn't even want to reply to Lee Hae-na's messages, which made Kim Tae-hyung feel neglected.
However, after learning that Lee Hae-na didn't even have time to attend the university's opening ceremony because of her packed schedule, Kim Tae-hyung felt relieved. He continued to bury himself in training for May's return and strive to do his best.
Kim Hee-chul had recently accepted a new variety show called "The Brother I Know".
As the show was still in its infancy, it needed guests to help boost its popularity. Recently, Red Hair's popularity had been high, and there was a trend of her becoming a fourth generation girl group with Kaleidoscope. Naturally, she became the first invited guest.
It was Lee Hae-na's first time on a show hosted by her brother, so she felt strange and nervous.
She had chatted with Kim Hee-chul for a long time last week, afraid that she would drag Kim Hee-chul down if she didn't perform well.
Kim Hee-chul comforted her easily and told her not to be so reserved.
"Just act as yourself. Aren't you good at bullying your brother's sister?" One of Kim Hee-chul's joys in life was teasing Lee Hae-na.
Lee Hae-na was speechless.
The filming date was set at the beginning of April, and the broadcast date was tentatively set at the end of April.
Lee Hae-na didn't expect that she would be able to wear the school uniform that she had just taken off in February in April.
Although it wasn't Hanlin's school uniform, it was the same in meaning.
On the day of the recording, Bae Chu-min suddenly felt unwell and couldn't attend. Only 50 Cent attended. Although everyone was in a bad mood in the car, they still showed 120% of their professional attitude when they arrived at the studio and started their business cheerfully.
"Hello, we transferred from S. M. High School, red."
