1. [+2,003, -74] Already? Jung Chaeyeon's going to faint...

2. [+1,388, -64] Kwang Soo-ya... Chaeyeon needs rest. If you keep pushing her like this, she's going to have three different promotions overlapping in September;;;

3. [+1,045, -81] I hope Chaeyeon doesn't get hurt..

4. [+804, -55] Wow ㅋㅋㅋ This is just harder on the staff and the members and the fans... fighting to everyone~

5. [+219, -12] It's going to be tight but find strength, Chaeyeon-ah! ㅎ

6. [+221, -19] The start of another murderous schedule... I met DIA in real life and they're all such nice and hard working people. I wish them luck! Fighting!

7. [+192, -10] Hul ㅋㅋㅋ what a unique concept

8. [+211, -21] As a fan of the original movie and book, I'm looking forward to this Harry Potter concept. I've never seen any other group do it so I'm wondering what the song sounds like.


This is mad wild, hope they aren't courting a lawsuit.

lmao run chaeyeon

[suggestivepeach.livejournal.com]

At least this should be something we probably haven't seen before.

[jinkiestabi.livejournal.com]

At least this is creative and something different. But I'm guessing they'll still be in uniforms, lol.

[cosmopudin.livejournal.com]

circle-shaped glasses & prob a thunder scar in their foreheads

looking forward to chayeon playing valdemort

[jinkiestabi.livejournal.com]

True that. But at least they're uniforms with a purpose?

They can't all be Gryffindors, wonder who will be in which house........granted the company doesn't get sued into the pavement, that is.

[fallendaydreams.livejournal.com]

"Thunder scar"

Sis... lmao

[tungatunga.livejournal.com]

It seems that they will be trying copyright lawsuit as new promo tactic.

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

as expected of dia/mbk

this will probably be their hit song/something that will attract all the fans because it seems so different and also there seems to be a lot of fanservice potential in this (dia/mbk are amazing at fanservice)

with this + cathy being praised by knetz in upr3 all i have to say: rise my girls!

[cosmopudin.livejournal.com]

Is that a Big Time Rush icon you are sporting, OP? shit the feels

idrc about them, but didnt they just had a cmb that flopped?

[musicnkisses.livejournal.com]

Lmao yes it is, they were my fav boy band, my they RIP.

[jinkiestabi.livejournal.com]

Elevate was the best album ever idc idc.

[musicnkisses.livejournal.com]

#Facts

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

i wouldnt say it flopped. it did okay and they did like 600% better than somehow/mfb

[cosmopudin.livejournal.com]

somehow/mfb?

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

their debut/follow up song after debut

[reasontowander.livejournal.com]

a kpop girl group with a harry potter concept sounds like something dreamt up by tumblr.
Hope they got the rights for it, though i doubt they did

[saemcrh.livejournal.com]

Lawsuit waiting to happen (if they didn't get permission).

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

they better have the license to use it officially or it'll end up like sistar

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]

what happened to sistar?

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

they dressed up as DC female characters for Shake It teasers. and we all thought that would be the concept for the cb. but ofc they couldn't and didn't go with that for copyright reasons.

[jileader.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure this is a good idea

[kjesta.livejournal.com]

can they just do a general witch concept? actually can Gfriend do a witch concept and wear cute dresses and pointy hats?

I just love witches, guys.

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

omg i would love to see that in october

[fallendaydreams.livejournal.com]

So I'm guessing this will be vomit-inducingly cute bc you know it can't be sexy

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

I higly doubt they got the rights, so we can also look forward to lawsuit.

[typhlogirl.livejournal.com]

i mean. i'm excited to watch the MV/hear the song but i hope they have good lawyers, lmaoooooooooooo

[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

is this even legal?

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]

haha mte. it isn't, if they don't have a permit they're either gonna get sued OR if jk's lawyers are merciful they'll just tell them to take down the mv from youtube (same thing happened to gtops high high and that other song, they used playboy's logo without permisson and had to take both down)

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

get your youtube downloader at the ready i guess!

[premonitioner.livejournal.com]

does anyone know if BEG got rights for their Kill Bill tribute? how does one even go about getting a licence like that, rock up to WB or whoever and be like 'sooooo we're a kpop group and we wanna use your franchise for a song'

[belintuchiha.livejournal.com]

BEG's Kill Bill wasn't too similar to the original one though, so I'm not sure they needed to get any rights? I mean the only thing that was exactly the same was the name of the song and then pretty much everything else is different if I'm not wrong (the scenes in the video are similar but pretty generic too)

JeA said this once: "The whistle in the intro of the song reminded me of the movie 'Kill Bill'. Members said that it would a good idea so we filmed the music video as the homage to the movie and made the clothing have the mood of western dramas."

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

i dunno shit about korean law but theres usually exceptions for parodies

[talk-play-love.livejournal.com]

First DBSK dressed up as HP for Balloon performances, then didn't Jokwon have Wingardium Leviosa and now this? Oh my

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

To add to your list, IU has a song called 'Obliviate' (Modern Times album, good song!), Junsu has a single called 'Tarentallegra', and Twice dressed as Gryffindors for a fanmeet!
There are so many instances of HP in KPop lol but none has really used it as a comeback concept

[aeries-amethyst.livejournal.com]

First DBSK dressed up as HP for Balloon performances

Wait...What?! When did this happen and how did I not see this?! :O

[talk-play-love.livejournal.com]

I consumed so much DBSK media back in the day and thankfully some kind soul still has it on yt: https://youtu.be/tWnsaIkw1rw

[stroplok.livejournal.com]

i used to listen to so much wrock back in the day - i am so ready for this

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

well that's. unique.
they sure are taking advantage of HP being in the news again. i'm surprised no one's tried to do a pokemon concept lol.
but i really want mbk to put dia aside for a while and let chaeyeon be in ioi. let the other members promote without her maybe. or just let them rest.

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

Who is Chaeyeon and why people are worried for her?

[musicnkisses.livejournal.com]

She's also a member of I.O.I from Produce 101

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

She's one of the two Dia members that went on P101. She ended up in IOI as one of their most well known member. She's been promoting non stop since P101 (Dream Girls, Dia's comeback with On the Road, solo variety appearances...) and basically carrying Dia's popularity by herself. She's supposed to go back to IOI for their last comeback at the end of the year, so having a Dia comeback in September means she won't have rest this year :/

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

As a big Potterhead back then, I'm excited about this! I hope they'll have adventures in the MV instead of just dancing in Gryffindors outfits (also, let them feature different houses please!)
I hope they won't have problems with the justice :/ the team JK's rights is quick to sue for copyright...

[ping-ponkan.livejournal.com]

I want to look forward to this despite not being a DIA fan (am an HP fan tho I'm rereading OOtP rn lol) but the current K-Pop scene taught me not to expect a lot welp

[unelixir.livejournal.com]

[musicnkisses.livejournal.com]

Lmao yoo at a HSM gif.

[coyote-revolver.livejournal.com]

As a HP fan, I'm excited about this. Hope they did this legally, the girls don't deserve a plagiarism scandal :/

[musicnkisses.livejournal.com]

Ain't nothing bout MBK legal. Lawsuit impending.

[tokyocinema.livejournal.com]

Korea has never been one to care about copyright infringement, but I'm hoping that the agency received the rights for this.

Also, as a huge Potterhead, the comeback better come on September 1st or I'm going to be sorely disappointed.
