A new Kim Hyun Joong has been announced to us.
We like this one too.
Rebel, less smooth, who uses swear words so unconvincing in his pretty little mouth.
Despite everything, we have the feeling that it is a passade, a try, a way of showing the back side, that of the bad boy who can make all the efforts he wants he will never take over on the front side of himself again, that of the sensitive guy, the perfect son-in-law, who usually refrains from shocking by his words, who composes and sings us romantic ballads and who has grown up to the rhythm of “conventional” rock bands (even if Metallica has cheated his neurons at some point in his life).
When you love Coldplay, Charlie Puth and when you listen to Coffee Boy to the point of having published six months of covers on your official channel, you will never become a full-time rebel.
So, continue to dance or not, let out your anger and show a more aggressive “new side” or sing sweet ballads?
Why ask yourself so many questions?
Why not just do what you want?
As you feel it… because our first feeling is usually always the right one.
Sometimes by wanting to follow “trends” and listening too much to others, we lose sight of what we really want; we forget what is good for us.
But it is also true that an ordinary mortal or a demanding fan as we tend to be, cannot understand the life of an artist punctuated by data such as audience rates, statistics of views or number of listens.
Stressful time spent monitoring the performance of his music, analysing his audience, monitoring his streams on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
Imagining an artist looking at graphics divided by categories is not at all glamorous, is it? And yet it is also part of his job.
The day after the launch of his new single, how does he and his team feel when they look at the results?
Does it live up to their expectations?
We doubt it, and these are questions that we do not fail to ask ourselves too, even if the results visible to us cannot be enough to estimate the success of a performance because listeners are now distributed everywhere on different platforms, and only the artist can know if the result is commensurate with his hopes.
Seen from here, there is always the same question that comes up with each release of a new work or at the announcement of a new tour:
Wouldn’t it be time to consider different ways to promote a work and look for a new audience elsewhere?
Just to not be limited going round in circles in “his Cage” with “his Fans”.
yeah, very disappointing views…
Hi girls, it’s just a question that may seem silly but, if just half of its subscribers listened to this MV just once, it would have already reached 500,000 views. What’s wrong?
We could even say that if only 10% had looked at it, it would already be at one hundred thousand views.
But maybe it’s more complicated than that.
Not everyone listens to music only on Youtube, there are plenty of other platforms for buying and listening now.
Look for a new audience elsewhere?
Don’t you understand that he doesn’t need or want to make efforts? A ready-made audience is enough for him. He’s built up his clientele over the years in certain countries and has no desire to break his teeth elsewhere. Full of desires and promises, he always returns to the same place. seems to lack ambition and has become a homebody, which is understandable as he also has a family life and isn’t going to be on stage all his life.
One question: how can the majority of his fans go and push this new MV if on the very morning of its launch day he announces that he’s going back to Latin America again? Do you want to listen to his songs over and over again to get views, and see him return sing, dance and thank the same people over and over again? Not me, and I think a lot of his fans are tired of waiting. Sorry this is just my feelings, and the only explanation I found for the disappointing views.
Ana, I don’t quite agree with you that he’s not looking for a new audience. I think it’s quite the opposite, otherwise he wouldn’t try to renew himself the way he does with this new song he obviously wants to touch younger people. However, I agree that he was very naive to want to woo a piece of his fans on the day of the launch, and forgot that he could hit a lot of people by declaring that he would return again to Latin America this year–after asking everyone to give attention to his new song–
OK, for me the reason is Cage isn’t the kind of music people are going to listen to every day. Sorry to say that, but most fans of Kim Hyun Joong are not so young to go dancing. As much as I enjoy seeing him in this new register, I don’t want to listen to this song over and over again to get more views I watch the clip two or three times a day, interspersed with quieter songs it’s enough for me, and I also agree that if everyone listened to it at least once, the views would be greater.
Well, my opinion is more nuanced, but I agree with everything that’s been said. For my part, I don’t want to participate on Youtube like I used to. I still go there about twice a day, but as it was said, on the day of the launch of the new song, when everyone was happy to participate, he announced a return to Latin America again.
So you’re thinking Ok so go expect the views of Latin America, even though I have absolutely nothing against Latin fans so much better for them if they have the chance to see him often.
I bought the song on Amazon and I listen to itunes too I feel I’m participating in my own way.
