The other side of the critics absolutely loved "Monster of Insanity" by Jennie and Pandemonium. Many of them even dared to call it a new masterpiece of the country's music industry. One such critic, DJ Song, wrote:
"I have never heard of such a masterful musical composition and songwriting as 'Monster of Insanity' before. The details, techniques, lyrics and overall musicality are all superb. I know that there had been many attempts before in other countries to seamlessly harmonize hard rock and classical music, but I personally think that 'Monster of Insanity' is the only one that succeeded with such precision.
"I almost can't believe that a song with such technical difficulty that could even make seasoned musicians puke from attempting to play it was created by a young woman with the tender age of twenty years. I also heard that some experts, historians and even academics in the music field are now trying to confirm whether Jennie has really created new musical techniques. If she really did, then it's a great achievement and pride for our country's music industry. Even if she didn't, it's already a big accomplishment to utilize all of these advanced techniques that are rarely used by our own musicians.
"I don't throw this word around carelessly, but I'm going to say it today. In my decades working in the music industry, I daresay that Jennie Kim is a musical genius. We should be encouraging her to nurture her talents. I'm looking forward to how she'll develop and what kind of music she'll release in the future. With a figure like her, I'm reassured and optimistic about the future of our country's music industry."
Although DJ Song focused a lot on Jennie in his review, he also praised the members of Pandemonium for their contribution to the song. He especially commended Eros. Besides the piano and the vocalists, the lead guitar had the most technically difficult role in "Monster of Insanity". Of course, he didn't forget to throw some words of praise for his dear friend JJ who co-produced the song and was the mastermind behind Night's rap which got a lot of panties wet.
When all of these mixed reviews started pouring in, others joined in on the debate of whether "Monster of Insanity" was a musical sacrilege or masterpiece. The debate was a popular topic everywhere. Many music schools started using it as a topic for lessons. Popular TV programs also invited various experts to weigh their opinions in on the debate.
And just like that, the interest for "Monster of Insanity" increased day by day. It went beyond casual listening to a serious topic of discussion.
While all of these were happening, "Hey, It's Me" by V continued to reign at the top of the music charts. "Monster of Insanity" by Jennie and Pandemonium was close behind at number 2. With these two music at the top, all the other music had no choice but to compete for number 3 instead because they just couldn't reach the level of these two songs.
By the third week, however, a great disruption in the music charts occurred. The group of experts, historians and academics who made it a mission to research and confirm whether Jennie created new musical techniques or not finally released a statement. In an informal press conference in front of a top university, their representative, a well-respected music professor announced:
"Of the eight unfamiliar music techniques we found in the musical piece 'Monster of Insanity', we have confirmed three to be completely new, original, never recorded in the history of music in the entire world. Therefore, our team of experts with the assistance of other experts from other countries, all have concluded that 'Monster of Insanity' has one new instrumental technique and two new compositional techniques that have never been seen or heard of before in music history. We'd like to offer our deepest and sincerest congratulations to Miss Jennie Kim. Miss Kim, we're all extremely proud of you as your fellow countrymen and women for such a groundbreaking and history-making achievement!"
Once this announcement was televised and reported in various media outlets, everyone went crazy. Sales of "Monster of Insanity" soared exponentially in just a single day. Countless people called radio stations to request them to play it more.
Music students started feeling important because almost everyone they knew constantly asked them to explain the music techniques in "Monster of Insanity".
Regular TV programming was even interrupted to report on these history-making musical techniques by Jennie as breaking news. They even revealed that the achievement was also featured in some foreign news in several countries around the world.
When it came to the point that even the government's press secretary also offered his congratulations to Jennie during his regular briefing, the citizens had no choice but to know about Jennie Kim and her latest music "Monster of Insanity", regardless of whether they liked the song or not.
Needless to say, all of these contributed to a colossal amount of buzz for "Monster of Insanity". No one was surprised when immediately the next day after the music academics' announcement, "Monster of Insanity" kicked off V's "Hey, It's Me" from its number 1 spot in the music charts. Finally, "Monster of Insanity" took the music charts crown.
Even the Black Stars and Pandemonium fans didn't know how to react for a moment with how things developed and escalated in just a day. Everything happened so abruptly and so quickly!
CaptainBlackStar: "Can someone pinch me? I think I'm dreaming. Is this...is this really happening? Tell me this isn't a dream!"
LittlePhoenix: "Big sister Captain, it's not a dream. .:゜(;'∩｀;)゜:."
iEatSlippers: "Pinch? Let me whack you with my mighty slippers instead, Captain! Our boss is really the best! Who else can top our boss when it comes to musical prowess in this generation? No one! Comrades, all the Black Stars and Pandemonium fans, especially my beloved Slippers Army, raise all of your mighty slippers high up in the air and let's show our congratulations and support to our unrivaled Boss!"
"All hail Boss Jennie!"
"Congrats, boss! You're the best! We're so proud of you!"
"Hahaha! I'm waiting for those narrow-minded critics who were so savage before in ridiculing our Boss and calling 'Monster of Insanity' as painful noise and garbage. Where are you now? Come on, say something! I can't hear you~ Never mind. We'll never hear from them again because they're all choking from eating their own disgusting words!"
"Hmph! They're just idiots who pretend to know everything about music when they're all just bitter and jealous idiots who criticize our boss and her music because they can never reach her level of genius."
The outpouring of support and congratulations continued. Pandemonium was also riding this gigantic wave of success, pulling their careers to new heights thanks to Jennie's achievement.
Amidst all of these hullabaloo, Jennie's first informal statement since the news came out was recorded by a horde of reporters waiting for her after a magazine photo shoot. When asked about how she was feeling about her achievements, she tilted her head to the side.
"Hmm. Yes, some people were telling me about it just now. But really? Three new musical techniques? I had no idea. I need to search this up myself. Hmm... How nice," she replied in a careless manner before disappearing inside her executive van like it was just a regular day like always.
