SETLIST : ASIA-PACIFIC

VISIBLE AFTER VOTING IS OVER!

Uploaded on New Wave Music’s official youtube channel two single days after the departure of Beomseok, [#GYUJIN] Introduction Act 1 - Love Scene is a 01:58 music video featuring the (up until that point unknown) trainee Woo Gyujin.

Altought not explicitly linking itself to LOOPiN and being promoted only in the company’s social media, Minwoo and Seungsoo’s names listed on the song’s production and arranging respectively – side by side with Gyujin’s own writing credits –, as well as New Wave’s last ambiguos lines in the departure statment, was enough to connect the dots: Gyujin is definely joining LOOPiN, and he’s joining soon.

Response from the fanbase has been extremely split between pure indignation and relutant acceptance regarding the upcoming addition, and iNSYNC stan Twitter is currently on fire with complains about the music video’s awful timing, Gyujin hate hashtags, neutral Gyujin hashtags trying to compensate for the hate, and a email template from fanbases all around the world demanding New Wave explains with details the group’s future plans and postpone any lineup additions.

After only two hours of being up, the comments on the MV have been deactivated.

You can listen to Gyujin’s song, Love Scene, here.

Bang Minwoo, mononyously known as Minwoo, is a fictional south korean rapper, singer, music producer and dancer based in South Korea. He is a member os equally fictitious south korean boy group LOOPiN and it’s pre-debut subunit LOOPiN After First, formed by New Wave Music alongside Blockberry Creative, acting as the main rapper, sub vocalist, producer and current leader of the group.

Minwoo has been sold from day one to the audience as LOOPiN’s own Genius Idol, someone who’s immeasurable talent and potential could speak for itself. And while his fierce stage presence, frank personality and perfectionistic standards often paint him as intimidating and even harsh at first look, his large fandom and the majority of his bandmates swear there’s a caring and sentimental side to him hidden underneath the surface. Minwoo has been made an example of a near perfect performer and artist, and even if his likeability behind cameras has been up to debate more than once, the respect he has from people in the industry it’s undeniable.
