Guerri Warfare (4)
When you think you’re alone, look back,
there I am standing,
you and me,
wherever
the wind blows,
like the stars in the night sky
We are all connected―
connected― connected― We are all―
‘Connection’ too Dowook was in charge of bothposition and lyrics.
Normally, depending on the song, I would receive help from others, but in the case of ‘Connection’, it was a song written entirely with my own thoughts from the moment of inspiration topletion, without anyone else’s intervention.
In particr, when ites to lyrics,
the word most often written in fan cafes and fan letters is none other than ‘it was afort’. During difficult times, I was able to gain strength by listening to KK’s song. Those words once again gave strength to the KK members.
As has been the case with KK’s songs so far, this time too, I wanted to deliver a message to those who would listen to KK’s songs.
Now, not only people in Korea but also people in countries they have never been to have listened to KK’s songs and liked them.
There were some who listened without knowing the meaning of the lyrics, but most of them tried to enjoy the song by interpreting it in English and in their ownnguage.
‘Is there a message that can bemunicated to everyone?’
I didn’t have to think for long.
Loneliness is an emotion that everyone has. And singing was one of the best tools tofort it.
Dowook immediately titled it ‘Connection’ and wrote the lyrics.
‘Everyone has moments when they feel like they are alone in the world. If there was a song to be with at that moment… … .’
Because Dowook knew that feeling well, the first draft of the lyrics waspleted quickly. After several revisions, it became the current lyrics of ‘Connection’.
It was about being connected anytime, anywhere, so you are not alone.
The lyrics would also be meaningful to the huge group of KK fan keyrings scattered around the world.
In the chorus, the soft harmony created by Do-wook and Ahn Hyeong-seo was excellent.
The six members lined up flexibly rode the wave to the lyrics ‘Connected―’. Even though it was a wave, it was a precise movement as if it were really connected as one.
“Kya-!!!”
“oh my god!”
“Aaaah!”
“KAYK!!!”
“Kyaaha -ah!
Additionally, the choreography of turning the waist was a provocative choreography that had not been attempted before. Even when the music video was released, mouths were already dropping, and it was even more so when I saw it in person.
The cheers of the fans at the scene were loud.
As they entered the interlude, the members disappeared to the side of the stage one by one. Taehyung Park was the only one left in the middle of the stage.
It was a dance break section specially created for guerri performances. Since there was no need to be restricted by broadcast time, it was okay for a song to exceed 5 minutes in length.
Taehyung Park performed choreography like modern dance in tune with the music.
Taehyung Park, wearing a long-sleeved shirt, created beautiful lines by fluttering his sleeves every time he moved his arms.
“Park Taehyung!”
“Park Taehyung!”
The fans chanted Taehyung Park’s name to the beat as if they were mesmerized.
The rhythmic interlude progressed and the song naturally returned to the original song. Then, one by one, they entered the center of the stage as if riding a wave, showing confident expressions.
As promised, the me app broadcast camera took close-ups of the members’ facial expressions one by one.
Those who were watching the live broadcast felt that it took their breath away even though the screen was not clear due to an unstable server.
I couldn’t imagine how hot the scene would be.
The scene was truly a crucible of enthusiasm.
The song wasing to an end. One by one, the members turned around and walked to the back of the stage. Do-wook, who was thest to remain, raised his finger and extended it toward the audience.
“wait.”
The song ended with Do-wook’s low-pitched narration.
There was silence for about a second.
It was like taking a moment to take a breath to let out a shout.
“Ahh! Dowook!”
One of Dowook’s fans shouted as if he was about to faint. After that, many people started screaming.
Now that all the members had disappeared to the back of the stage, the stage was empty, but it didn’t look empty. The cheers of fans were filling even the stage.
“Ke- this- ke- this!!!”
“Ke- this- ke- this!!!”
“Ke- this- ke- this!!!”
It was a shout that shook the auditorium.
It was a performance that was worth rushing to the concert hall a month after receiving the sudden notice.
Fans have seen KK’s stage many times, but today’s performance of ‘Connection’ was something new again.
Many people thought that K.K. had already reached the peak of his abilities during ‘Continue’. But there was more after that.
The details that had not been paid attention to due to the need for strength came to life more vividly, and the sight of them bing one despite the softness was enough to make those watching the stage feel a thrill.
KK continued to evolve.
At that moment, the number of concurrent users using the me app was well over 500,000.

-It was really creepy.
―I almost cut my mouth off while watching the performance… It’s really perfect. There’s no w whatsoever.
―Is it true that it was live??? real???
―He is a national treasure-level singer. Haha
– I saw that the video was edited. What is the title of the bad song? I love this song~ KK Fighting!
―KK’s cafette~!
―???Are you aiming for a coffee advertisement?
-I wasn’t a fan to begin with, but I heard it was a guerri performance this time, so I yed it for a while and couldn’t turn it off, so I watched the whole thing. I knew he was good, but he was really good. I was proud to be a Korean singer, and Kang Do-wook had the skills to make me think he was a real alien… Even the girl who danced alone in the middle did well
– I’m really proud of her as a KK fan. ??
―I am a housewife raising two children. My child liked it so much that I became a fan too!
―Where is the next performance? Really, please let me know.
―I heard that they are performing not only in Seoul, but all over the country… I hope many peoplee to ces where it is difficult to enjoy performance culture… . ?? ??
– Since it started with that purpose, it will likely go to a lot of local areas as well. Haha
– I couldn’t go to the concert because I didn’t have money, but when I saw the guerri performance this time, I was so happy that I cried. ?? Brothers, thank you for making memories in my life and I love you!
―Connection song is really good~~!
-Thanks to you, my eyes and ears were refreshed. ^^
―If I die after seeing KK’s performance just once, I will have no wish.
After the performance is over.
Thement section became a ce where new fans who fell in love with KK posted their testimonies. It was even said that the entire nation would be KK’s fans in this way.
Although it was only a live performance using the Inte, it had a huge impact.
Another big reason is that the portal site called Friends has be an indispensable portal site for Koreans after themercialization of smartphones.
Hit Entertainment’s strategic analysis, which correctly recognized that the power of portal sites is sometimes greater than that of music broadcasting, worked.
Of course, the power of the group called K.K. was also great.
Because it was well-known and had a strong fan base, a certain degree of sess was already expected. However, what had an even greater impact was what KK showed during the performance.
KK’s energy while performing captivated those watching the live broadcast. Those who watched out of curiosity also fell in love with the performance.
Even the music video stage. Everythingpletely captivated people.
Because the poprity of the song ‘Connection’ itself was enormous, the whole of Korea was abuzz with KK.
Beyond simply listening to and enjoying the song, everyone wanted to see the big star KK at least once, so many people were excited with anticipation about where the next guerri performance would be and whether they could go to the concert hall.
And three days after the first performance.
News of new performances decorated the Friends site.
?Connection with KK! Second Guerri Performance ? Tongyeong Saryangdo Special Stage

“Tongyeong?”
Album production team leader Shim Jun, who was reporting to assistant manager Kwon Woo-chan, asked in surprise.
Although he is said to be within the album production team, in fact, the work of the album production team and the performance nning done by assistant manager Kwon Woo-chan were notpletely the same.
Therefore, unless team leader Shim Jun was directly rted to album production, he was generally only doing the job of signing on as the primary approval authority for Assistant Manager Kwon Woo-chan’s work.
Assistant Manager Kwon Woo-chan, who was on the chubby side, lost a lot of weight during the time he spent preparing for the performance.
The area under his eyes was a little dark, so Team Leader Shim Jun felt sorry for him. However, thanks to this, KK’s first guerri performance ended sessfully.
This was now the second performance.
After hearing the location of the second performance, Team Leader Sim Jun was surprised and asked.
“Love Tongyeong?”
“Oh no. “Saryang too.”
“If it’s Tongyeong, isn’t it Namhae? It’s not a ce you can go by train… … . “It gets tough from the second time.”
At Team Leader Sim Jun’s words, Assistant Manager Kwon Woo-chan also nodded as if he understood.
However, the location was decided after collecting opinions from KK members, the me app production team, Korea Tourism Organization, and other officials.
The first performance was a big challenge, but the second performance could have been an even bigger challenge due to the location.
But it was also very meaningful.
This was because it was a ce that fit perfectly with the intention of starting the guerri performance, which was to visit any ce without hesitation for those who had little opportunity to see KK.
“It must be a lot of pressure on the members… … .”
It was a thought that came to mind right away because Team Leader Sim Jun knew very well how nervous the members were backstage during the first performance.
Assistant Manager Kwon Woo-chan also nodded. Due to the great sess of the first performance, many people’s attention was focused.
If the second performance was not as sessful as expected, there would be many people who criticized it, saying that this was KK’s limit.
“But actually… … .”
“uh?”
“When the Tourism Office proposed it, we and me app opposed it.”
“right? “I thought this was what the tourism office wanted.”
“The members said they liked it. “That’s why I do it.”
Team leader Sim Jun opened his eyes wide as if he was puzzled.
“He really wants to go somewhere. If there’s at least one person who would want to see them… … . “In fact, he said he would like to go to a ce where there is only one person.”
Team leader Sim Jun’s eyes deepened at Assistant Manager Kwon Woo-chan’s words. It was because I could feel how much the members I had seen since they were rookies had grown and that they had now be bigger yers than myself, the head of the album production team.

The day of the Saryangdo performance in Tongyeong.
Only after the notice was posted and they arrived at Saryangdo Ind were the members able to realize for themselves why those who saw the notice were shocked and worried.
It was deste, and the only people I could see on the road were elderly people who couldn’t possibly listen to KK’s music.
Moreover, it was a weekday. The few students and young people were all out at school or work.
Of course, the performance time was evening, but since there was no one in front of them, the members began to feel anxious.
In addition, those setting up the stage were having a hard time.
It was early March, spring had not yet arrived, and the wind was blowing very strongly.
