KK’s music video was uploaded to MyTube at 6pm sharp.
At 6:10 PM, the number of views of the music video had already exceeded 5,000. We were on the verge of surpassing 10,000 cases within 30 minutes.
It was incredible speed.
Considering that it took an hour for the previous full-length album, ‘Blue Sky’, to reach over 10,000 views, it was twice that speed.
A major factor was the increase in fans not only in Korea but also overseas.
KK’s popularity among overseas K-POP fans was already considerable. In particular, their popularity in China and Japan was comparable to that of their own singers.
It was no exaggeration to say that the K-K craze was spreading everywhere there was the word ‘Korean Wave’, from Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam to Indonesia.
Although it wasn’t a big deal, KK’s na was well known to Western K-POP fans who existed as a fan base.
In the West, fans of K-POP placed great importance on ‘performance.’ Singing and dancing to group dance was a genre that Western bands and pop singers did not do well, so it beca a point of attracting fans.
In that respect, KK was a group that could catch the attention of Western fans with considerable talent among K-POP singers.
Nevertheless, liking K-POP or K-K in the West was a very manic thing. It was the work with LIL that helped break down the high wall.
Those who listened to LIL’s music were introduced to KK’s music, and the wall was lowering little by little.
Moreover, compared to other pop songs, KK’s music pursued a very ‘contemporary’ pop style that did not lag behind trends at all.
Those who encountered KK’s music in this way recognized KK as a pop singer just like other Western singers, instead of limiting him to the category of ‘K-POP singer’.
Those who saw KK’s performance thought it was a fantastic stage and beca KK’s fans, no different from Korean fans who want to see KK’s performance.
In this way, a wide, if still shallow, interest was ford in North and South Arica.
When KK’s new song music video was updated, they also started clicking, and existing fans and new interest groups gathered to create a trendous effect.
Fans were left speechless at the music video released at the showcase.
“So… so good!”
“Hey sister! oh my god! “It’s really aweso!”
“Ugh, what should I do? My heart… Mr.! Wow, curses are coming out. “It’s nice to get cursed at.”
“I understand why Jihoon had a hard ti. “That’s real, not CG, right?”
“Ugh, I went to Dubai because I had an unofficial schedule at the ti… That’s Dubai.”
“Wow…. Amazing…. How can you dance like that from over there….”
“Sister…. I feel like crying.”
“what? why are you crying?”
Fans were amazed while watching the music video. At the sa ti, I felt a certain sense of wonder. Even song and dance videos. It was all a work of art, like art.
“It’s just… I think KK is so amazing.”
There were also fans who cried in front of the work created through the efforts of the KK mbers and the staff mbers who helped them. Even though he was not his brother, child, or lover, the singer he liked seed so amazing.
“That’s really cool.” What is it, dancing on the water?”
The scene that followed the dancing scene in the huge desert was a studio scene. Every ti the mbers stamped their feet, water splashed and water droplets sparkled and shone on the screen.
Afterwards, it moved to interlude and there was Taehyung Park’s solo dance part.
Taehyung Park showed off three turns while wearing a black silk shirt and pants that fit well. The mont Park Taehyung finished his turn and jumped, the music stopped as if ti stopped and the screen also turned black.
The silence that lasted less than a second soon led to the starry night sky of the desert.
It felt like stars were falling. Everyone who was watching the music video was sucked into the screen.
The arranged music video version of ‘Continue’ accompanint played over the night sky. The atmosphere of the quietly flowing accompanint changed and the original powerful song ‘Continue’ appeared, and the screen brightened up, becoming a desert under the hot sun again.
“The music video was really well chosen.”
“That’s right. “You must have made a lot of money through KK… I feel like you know how to spend money properly.”
“Who is the director?”
“Here’s the information… It’s the director who fild Howl.”
“It wasn’t that famous to begin with, right? Anyway, if possible, you can bring soone in to use it. “Do you think it will be a big hit again this ti?”
“It’s going to be a huge hit this ti.”
“Write it quickly. hurry. “Blockbuster scale….. Try pulling out a whole bunch of articles with words like this.”
The hands of the reporters who had been invited to the scene quickened.
The lives of reporters involved being asked to write good articles. In fact, it was more beneficial for them to write provocative articles about negative issues rather than good articles because they could increase the number of clicks.
However, sotis I ended up writing good articles voluntarily.
This was when a singer ca out with really well-made music. Because it was so obvious, it was important at this ti to quickly add a lot of information to the article rather than extract provocative phrases.
The reporters included the music video filming location and episodes during the filming period of the music video director based on the information in the press release distributed by Hit Entertainnt in advance.
A photo of the showcase was attached there.
When the music video screening ended, fans cheered endlessly.
The mbers who were watching the music video together ca up on stage with overwheld expressions.
I had already seen the completed music video, but seeing it like this made feel special. I was also nervous. The mbers kept looking back while watching the music video to check out the atmosphere in the audience.
Seeing the fans’ ecstatic faces, the mbers themselves felt ecstatic. My desire to repay with a good performance grew.
KK started the stage with high spirits. This was also the ‘Continue’ stage that was revealed for the first ti today.
Con—Con—Continue!
We keep moving forward!
We are still young are forever young
We go on!
I’ll call you forever, I’ll run forever –
Con― Con―Continue!
We keep moving forward!
“Forward!!!……. I’ll run!!!”
“Forward!!!…….”
Fans who had already morized all the lyrics to the title song ‘Continue’ through the music released at midnight cheered for KK by singing along.
“Waaah…….”
“Kyaaa!”
“Ahhhh!!!”
As KK’s group dance began with the chorus, there were screams and moans here and there.
Before we knew it, the dance team mbers wearing black clothes were standing behind the mbers. The stage seed full as twenty dance team mbers ca on stage.
Standing behind the mbers wearing white clothes with red accents, they looked like large shadows.
The mbers and the dance team moved as if they were one, stretching their arms and legs in a controlled manner. The stage seed to be shaking.
The choreography continued as if they were running in place, with so acting as if they were holding on while others were running away.
Even though each person seed to be doing a different choreography, there was order within it and I could feel the explosive power. It was a jaw-dropping sight.
It was a stage where viewers could imagine how much effort was put into getting the movents right.
In the music video, during Taehyung Park’s turn when he was dancing alone, the dance team left quickly and the mbers helped Taehyung Park’s solo dance stand out from behind.
The mbers laid down on the floor in a circle with their knees together and spread their bodies like flower petals. Among them, Taehyung Park took a turn. There was a soft charm that was contrary to the powerful appearance from before.
From the sight of the mbers turning around with their hair flowing, to the mbers lying down, it filled the field of view, creating a feeling of beauty.
Afterwards, the song returned to a fast tempo and reached its climax.
“I’ll always be in your heart―――――!”
Hyeong-seo Ahn pulled out a high note with ease. He was one of the mbers who had been dancing wildly just a mont ago. The high notes that Hyung-seo Ahn produced were so stable that it was hard to believe that they were live. There was no loss of voice or breathing.
It was a part that made feel refreshed.
“It’s increased again. My brother’s singing has increased again!”
“Ah. oh my god. “I’m really very touched.”
It was also a voice that washed away the worries of fans who were worried about Ahn Hyeong-seo’s neck condition.
“――We continue to move forward.”
The beginning and end was, of course, Dowook. The word ‘as expected’ was very fitting.
Dowook deliberately relaxed his energy in the last part and sang as if he was chanting. The speaking-like singing voice resonated in the hearts of the fans who were listening to the song.
I really felt like I had the strength to keep moving forward.
Sweat dripped from Dowook’s bangs as he perford his best on stage. Do-wook’s face was captured on the screen installed at Do-wook’s showcase, so much so that every drop of sweat was visible.
‘done.’
‘That’s it!…’
Hearing the shout that cut through the heat, Do-wook felt his heart beating rapidly.
At that mont, not only Dowook but also the fans who were watching the mbers on stage could feel it.
This album was a success. The performance of the title song of this album was a performance that will leave a lasting impression.
A very long ti.

Even though they were only able to fulfill music broadcast schedules, KK’s popularity was rapidly rising. Every ti the ‘Continue’ stage was perford, a captured scene of the ‘Continue’ stage was uploaded to the main portal site.
Every day, new news erged and articles about KK poured in.
The KK mbers were completely beside themselves.
What was especially surprising was the number of views on My Tube. It seed like only yesterday that it surpassed 1 million views, but soon it reached 10 million.
KK’s Facenote no longer contained comnts only in Korean, Japanese, or Chinese. Not only English, but also Vietnase, Russian, Arabic, and Spanish… People of countless different nationalities and languages claid to be KK’s fans.
Album sales had already reached 500,000 units. There was even talk within the company that it might beco a million-seller at this rate.
The response was so enthusiastic that the KK mbers had no idea what to do. Interview requests poured in from all over, and Korean dia was not the only place receiving interview requests. Because they had to deal with so many dia outlets, the fan-marketing team had even expanded its staff.
When ‘Continue’ activities were entering their third week.
After finishing the music broadcast, Dowook climbed into the van and spoke to the mbers who were about to fall asleep.
“I… I have sothing I want to tell you.”
Jeong Yoon-gi, who had closed his eyes with his head against the window, opened his eyes. Hyung-seo Ahn put down the cell phone he was holding, and Won Kim also raised his lowered head.
“uh?”
“What?”
Dowook looked closely at the faces of the mbers who were asking questions as if they were curious.
“I’m sorry…….”
