When she clicked on the music video, the video title caught her attention before the 5-second advertisement.

[Testar(TeSTAR) 'Midnight, and Next (00:01)' Official MV]

[View count 22,147,586]

'Wow, it's 22 million.'

It was 20 million when she saw it a while ago, but even though it had only been a week since its release, the number of views was accumulating quite fast.

The time it took to reach 10 million was also a new record for the group.

'I'm watching it again.'

The graduate student shrugged, saying that it was understandable.

Because Testar's music video this time was a bit different from the previous ones.

"Ah, here we go."

At that moment, the commercial ended and the music video started.

[...]

An antique gramophone covered in dust and cobwebs was captured on the screen.

A white hand came out of a corner and pressed the phonograph needle.

Thud, thud, thud.

The cobweb snapped, and a slow, crackling melody began to play out.

It was lo-fi jazz with its sound quality lowered on purpose.

A romantic and sad piano rang out.

Before she knew it, the screen changed to the entrance of a mansion.

Although it was old, the structure of the mansion had a trace of luxury and displayed tremendous visual beauty in the captured frame.

And in the middle.

Under the dusty, glowing chandelier, the focus was on the figure of seven people sitting in formation.

The song began.

– Slowly falling asleep

Time, night

I don't want to escape

– It's quiet now

Song and dream

Forget everything, it's midnight here.

Your Midnight

The choreography unfolded.

The tone of modern dance and waltz stood out. It was an elegant and complex choreography with a lot of movements using the whole body to support each other.

The long cuffs swayed.

There were no repetitive movements that were easy to follow or memorize. It was a move solely aimed at making people watch with their mouths open.

The structural lines were held long under the chandelier lights.

– Even if the clock's second-hand runs and calls me

I can't pull it up again today

I'm here, your midnight

Your Midnight

The video changed the background from an old and luxurious entrance hall to a classy study in the rain, a huge dining table lined with rusty bird cages, and a bathroom full of red-scented candles.

Each time, their hair and clothes changed shape and color, and the background was naturally absorbed in an instant.

It was a crazy visual beauty.
