The next day after the upload of the music video on the Hub, Daeho found himself reading comments while the ball of cuteness was lazily laying beside him, Nisha had grown a little bit but still looked small, she was growing up slowly and it was not like Daeho hated the idea of Nisha remaining like that.
It still pained him the fact that he couldn't remain with the very little cat he had now, but once she grew up into an elegant cat, oozing with grace and beauty it didn't sound so bad either. It is a phase everyone has to deal with when it came to their kids or pets, always wanting them to remain the innocent and cute part.
Besides, it wasn't like his cat did anything during her time at home, although Daeho felt like he has been neglecting his cat a lot in the period of time he was recording the mv, and both the extra workload that came from both training and school itself, but he would watch how she was doing from time to time with his equipment, and even brought her to the facilities from time to time to get a breath of air. He could say that having Nisha healed most of his built up mental fatigue and stress.
'' Nisha I wish I could spend more time with you and snuggle with you and pet you all day long!'' Daeho just had to disturb his cat sweet time and began hugging her with a pitiful expression written on his face, representing his obvious longing for the matter.
*Meow* Nisha meowed once in approval and began rubbing her head on his face. Although people might say it and it is indeed a fact, cats are more independent by nature but it depends a lot on the personality of the cat and breed and everything around those things, like humans, are the same ''race'' but have different needs and levels of need of company some just need company from time to time while others enjoy being around people. It is just a thing dependent on each one, Nisha enjoyed the silence and her time but enjoyed having someone by her side.
Just because ur silent doesn't mean you don't enjoy the company of someone but you just enjoy the company in a relaxed way. That was Nisha's character. She didn't need to go through her way to ask for pets or anything since Daeho would come like an abandoned pup once he had time and would just lay with her and stroke her fur for a while and just stay with her.
After this little play of affection between both cat and human, Daeho placed his attention on the laptop screen he had on the dining table. He began with going to the SN channel on WorldHub. He had watched the video once it came out and he was elated and felt strange about how different he looked on screen, the cheer confidence he emitted on the MV was an eye opener for sure, although it was what he pretended from the beginning but for sure it was above what he felt at the time.
Obviously, most of it was credited to the angles and lighting of the camera, not talking about the make up. They had to place make up even if they had face masks on the lower half of it. Tedious but it was something that he had gotten used to after the time he spent in the shooting sites. He had to praise the music too, the same as the choreography made. Epic music is very underrated in terms of the way it is transmitted to people. People just know that some of them are used in movies and dramas and so on, but they don't go on their way to search for it and enjoy the style of music. Daeho was an enjoyer of epic music and orchestra in the genre, but it didn't mean he wanted to develop music in that sense since his expertise was the piano and the guitar, and he needed knowledge about many more instruments in order to develop a successful career on that regard.
The feeling the music gave to him, was a sense of boldness and defiance to the world, and for sure it was a bold choice for a comeback mv of an idol company but by the views, he saw now it was definitely the right choice.
Looking at the views Daeho was surprised just 1 day and 3 million views were marked and rising. To him this definitely was a pleasant surprise, it brought pride to him and left him slightly in the back with what was to come in the future.
With a bright smile, Daeho decided to move to the main treat, the comment section. He began reading them in order with an expectant and silly smile on his face.
AverageStudent- I don't know how to describe this video, it has many strong points, and although I came looking for a catchy song I left desiring the face reveal of the dancers especially the one in the middle. PEOPLE help me find him.
(Reply to comment above) DateMe- @AverageStudent are you a Girl or Girl Depending on the answer I might answer.
DoNotLeaveMe-@DateMe stop trying to get a girl and get a life, they will break your heart as they did to me (┬┬﹏┬┬). @AverageStudent I think the company will reveal the name of the dancers on their Social. I'm Simping for the hazel eyes dude, he was definitely THE strong point on this mv.
PandasForLife(A-Yeong)- @AverageStudent@DoNotLeaveMe I have to be the one bringing you good news. The one in the middle I know very well is Ryuu. I knew him already and knew he would participate because of the picture in the leaks, so I knew he would participate in it and recognized him from the beginning, he is a trainee, and let me tell you guys he is outstanding, to say the least. Although he hasn't shown his face.
AverageStudent-@PandasForLife Thank you!!! It is a shame for real, I just watched some of his videos and waw. His eyes just tell me he is handsome. (^///^)
The reply just went on but Daeho decided to just end keep scrolling on the main comments since he began to blush about how bold people were with their comments. He had to get used with people saying compliments to him, although he usually got complimented by his so called original works, and would throw compliments about his eyes a lot, but the part where he just worked so hard on the dance and the development of the video, and the compliments hit him different for sure.
Cat_Lady- SN Welcome back!! I have been waiting for this moment. I can see bright times for my favorite company. We can do it SHINING!
Pnut- The video is hands down one of the best videos SN ever did, just everything is in place, and the mysteriousness that is transmitted through not being able to see the faces of the dancers, is a point to be given. And fun Fact the clothes in the video are in sale on the Shining clothing site. Definitely, SN doing big moves.
AnyaDemil- Do you want to have some fun with me?...(cough)
RyuuNo1Fan- I am only here because of Ryuu's post and I loved it. Yet another side of Ryuu I didn't know, and yet another side I love. Ryuu is all round talented it seems. Can't wait for the debut!༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
(Replies) Humming_Bird33- Facts, Ryuu's dancing talent is no less than his instrumental. The usual ritual boys. +1 like from me.
Lecc- I'm in Sync with the above. So here +1
JLBBMT10 - +1
Aidoneus-+1
Sayko-+1
Daoist21-+1
Kkvasey-+1
Kellen_McNeil-+1
....
L9Francesco- +1
The list of +1's went on and Daeho was surprised by the people he has been interacting with on the comment section of his videos, which have steadily grown in views. From time to time there would be a burst of views but it would only increase with maybe 10000 people at best until a certain point.
His videos views kept rising and it was good, weird thing was that in every comment section where they saw him. Including the videos of the evaluation of the end of the month, they would begin freaking spam of +1 it was funny because he saw most of the time the same people, and he appreciated the people who had been there from the beginning, and it added a way for the new people to just join in on the fun it seemed, somehow it got to the point where they would even go +1 on the little and few life updates he posted in SocialHub, which Daeho just couldn't help but appreciate since he did know there were people who enjoyed what he was doing. And it added extra motivation to him. Be it new fans or ''old ones'', Daeho appreciated them very much.
Although the little time he had he did spend time regularly to check up on the videos comment section and laugh a little at how silly some of the fans could be.
This little episode of appreciation from his fans warmed him up by a large margin. And boldly Daeho scrolled deeper and deeper down. There were comments which could be questionable. With people, all around just asking for Daeho to take his shirt off in the next video or asking about his sizes, which well could be categorized as netizens' behavior.
But it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows, there came a time when Daeho just saw the few hate comments.
Hater1( Well the video just represents just how disrespectful the company is, no wonder most of the Idols previously left. Just a farce for money. SN should have closed.)
Hater2( Not impressed not good, dance skills? Where? Most edit. The Center is nowhere near my Myunghan. That is how low SN declined, a good thing Oppa went to MAD.)
Hater3( 30 SECONDS in and this is just bad, Dislike.Bye.Good luck wasting your time.)
And the list just went on, it is quite strange, Daeho had been hit with a couple of hate comments here and there but this mv was special to him, at least he felt like it was, maybe it was because of the way he had been watching the crew work tirelessly towards a goal and in the end having people who hated and outright refused to even watch the video. He knew most just came to cause problems and wreak havoc on the comments but it still was strange how people went on their way to outright come and barely give attention to the work and then just hardcore hate.
It was painful and torturing to read the comments, but somehow he just kept going, sometimes even wanting to give them a piece of his mind, but in the end, he gave up, the fans and people who liked the video already were in a heated debate with these haters, and Daeho was cheering for them heavily.
It had indeed soured his mood for while, and with a little bit of consoling from his little kitten which improved his mood.
Through the little time, he spent awake at night in bed, like every other person Daeho reflected on his internal struggles or the little things, that worried him. In the end, Daeho just felt slightly ashamed.
'In the end, there will be haters and bad comments about me, no one is safe from that, wanting to please everyone is a naive thing to even follow, not that it was my objective but it's not like thinking about it or getting all moody about it. Some will hate others will appreciate, all I have to do is do my best.'
The hype revolving SN video moved forward and reached a new high of 4 by the end of the week. Everyone should understand that SN was basically starting anew, and the number of people was already quite the feat.
For some people, it was enjoyable and even covered the video, with praise for others' hate, and in between the hate of this, a certain artist stood out alot.
From a live stream in SocialHub, a young man with handsome features to him and although not over the top handsome.
The young man was reading the live stream chat with a constant smile on his face.
''Oh let us see, 'Did you watch the new video of Shining?' ''
The young man's eyes narrowed slightly and said, '' It is not bad, you should know that they are slightly lacking in talents, in the male department there, since most of us left. But I enjoyed the music, the dancers were ok too if they had me and Hyung Myunghan there it would definitely blow. Shame they don't know how to treat their talents.
