#39. Arcus (1)
A speck of light sparkled on the dark screen.
That light went from one to two, from two to three, to four, and became five, hanging somewhere.
Sparklers held in the hands of five people sitting side by side by the seaside crackled and burned, coloring the surroundings brightly.
These boys who hadn’t fully shed their boyish look waved what they held in their hands and laughed, leaned on each other’s shoulders, or played around ruffling each other’s hair.
When the person on the far right of the group pretended to blow on the golden flame, a small piece of light that fell off fluttered as if it had gained life and grew in size.
Soon a golden butterfly flew through the air, and as the surroundings brightened, the deep blue horizon revealed itself.
The small continuing music box sound was joined by acoustic guitar, bass, and drums, making the tone richer.
Finally, the man with his back to the sea smiled clearly like a boy. His black hair fluttered wildly in the sea breeze.
Na Jihan’s lips opened, and a solid, clear voice opened the first verse.
– Remember the day I first met you
In your pure white smile, the world sparkled
I wandered around, circling near you
That tingling feeling when our fingertips brush
A refreshing and gentle voice took over the song, pulling up the bright and clear atmosphere to its peak.
The moment his eyes met the camera, Yoon Seowoo’s eyes curved gently into a crescent moon shape, drawing a warm smile.
– Sometimes it’s okay to stumble
Take my hand, let’s go together
You are my greenest dream
– My first love, your first dream
Following behind you like a shadow
Whispering the words I’ve been waiting for like the wind
My first is you
Led by Ahn Haesol, who was in charge of balance in the center, the chorus continued. Thanks to the sailor uniform shorts coming up above the knees, the overall refreshing and clean dance lines stood out. When they perfectly matched not only the beat but also the positions and angles of their fingertips and toes, the restrained and refined atmosphere harmonized with the music.
Near the end of the chorus, the formation naturally changed and Na Jihan stood in the center. He wore a cheerful and confident smile across his face, then wiggled his fingertips extended toward the camera.
Following his signal, the camera turned and the surroundings instantly darkened.
Unlike the first verse, which was fresh and fairy-tale-like with music box sounds gradually added, the second verse had the mysterious tone of a vibraphone inciting subtle nuances.
Hapil Jae’s sharp yet languid voice flowed along the melody.
– Remember the day you first met me
In your sweet smile, the world melted
Now as I wait for you to come
That tingling sensation when our fingertips brush
The location changed from outdoors where you could feel the seasons like sky, sea, and garden to a dim interior. The golden shining chandelier and table full of elaborate desserts left an impression like a very secretly prepared banquet.
Hapil Jae lying face down on the table looking up, Ahn Haesol sitting on a chair, Na Jihan leaning against the doorframe with closed eyes, Yoon Seowoo running his thumb over cake cream and bringing it to his lips…
Holding a lamp with a crimson light softly blooming, Joo Lee Seon sang as if whispering.
– Sometimes it’s okay to be rebellious
Lean on me, let’s stay here
I am your deepest secret
In the banquet hall set up like a large dance hall, this time the five wearing dark uniforms performed the same group dance as before.
Matching the deepening atmosphere, the bass was laid down more solidly, and the rap part centered on Hapil Jae approached.
– I take your signal
Moving fingertips to bring sensations alive
The tiniest point that makes you react
This is not a simulation
Reality reached after hundreds of imaginations
The hundreds of bad imaginations you have of me
Matching the voice that skillfully pulled and pushed the beat, Ahn Haesol added singing rap.
As the continuously flowing song gradually reached its climax, the difficulty of the choreography also increased. Voguing application movements that involved lying on the floor then smoothly getting up and changing poses according to the beat, and formation choreography where four people extended their arms to support one person in the center were captured on screen in turn.
Finally, in the highly elevated bridge of the song, a boyish clear voice burst out.
– I wish your smile
Only moments filled with you
I lose my way in your eyes
Every day sparkles like the first time
I secretly draw you into my dreams
Night and day, dawn and sunset colored the screen in turn.
Sometimes making clear eye contact, smiling mischievously, and at other moments inciting bad imagination.
– My first love, your first dream
Following behind you like a shadow
Whispering the words I’ve been waiting for like the wind
My first is you
The five standing by the original seaside, facing the waves, smiled brightly and waved their hands.

[Wow]
[Wowww shit what did I just watch I’m going crazy]
[(0:41) Visual center’s dignity form is killer……; First love memory manipulation done in an instant]
â”” Do you remember, Jihan sunbae? We used to hide in the art room after school and chat all the time… Then we got caught by the art teacher but sunbae pretended to be a statue so only I got called to the teachers’ office and got scolded
â”” Do you know how I got perfect attendance because I attended with the sole intention of watching you play soccer at lunch and basketball after school
[God-tier visuals with no shame no matter when you pause… It’s been so long since we had a group with no visual holes]
[Those who had fits saying the late-joining member was ordinary and couldn’t keep up with so-and-so lol Look at this soft baby cute rabbit and get discouraged~ hehe]
â”” Wow what’s with the hate?
â”” That’s how those people who can’t let go of controversial candidates who haven’t even debuted are like lol Gloomy;
[Wow Hapil Jae’s eyes following the camera movement,,, he’s a natural idol (video)]
[Arcus who magnificently shattered my prejudice that debut albums would be fresh… Good, I acknowledge falling for you]
â”” Huh? Isn’t it fresh? Their first group dance costume is sailor uniforms
└└ The pants length isn’t pure (photo)
└└└ What’s impure is your heart
[I like how they changed the nuance of the 1st and 2nd verse lyrics to reverse the atmosphere]
â”” 2:35 What’s Yoon Seowoo doing licking cream???????????
[As soon as the main job Moment appeared ㅇㅅㅇ all the Maple disappeared, it’s really transparent transparentlolololol I didn’t like Midnight’s work handling before but I’ll promote that they maintained the eating ban this time]

â”” I just painted everything
â”” Reminds me of the highlighter spam meme
└└ But that’s probably not my fault, it’s all because of NaJihan who kneads YoonSeowoo like rice cake whenever he gets the chance
â”” When the flag part 2 comes out, please definitely include 38:00 the part where Yoon Seowoo’s ears turned bright red
└└ Of course~ I checked that first
[#ArcusFriendIntro #ArcusDebut_FriendIntro
Coming out after dusting off my official account after a long time… I’m a multi-fan so I sometimes talk about other groups but I’ll probably only talk about Arcus for a while, day priority, and I make alpha fest comments, day left fixed / I’ll mainly look for people who match after seeing tendencies and bio / Adults only]
[I thought I had a stone heart since I felt no excitement anywhere after Days’ military hiatus, but apparently not,,, I got hit by a junior idol,,,]
[(Photo) (Photo) Please ship name these kids who eat like this, main dancer main vocal childhood friends, that’s them]
â”” JihanSeowoo
â”” Sometimes DaySeowoo but JihanSeowoo is more
└└ DaySeowoo is similar to other idols’ ships so that’s probably why, JihanSeowoo let’s go
[Quiet and calm but when he opens his mouth a husky voice comes out, Joo Lee Seon please pay attention… My patience since his YouTube cover days is finally bearing fruit]
[I still feel like I’m dreaming… Ahn Haesol debuting? The resentment I ate during For Stadium is finally disappearing]
â”” I still get so angry thinking about that fucking rigged idol survival show that I wake up in the middle of the night
└└ Fuck me too
â”” I really couldn’t understand why our Sol was eliminated from the debut group!!! Really fucking couldn’t!!! I was heartbroken seeing him cry on the broadcast… Actually this was a huge build-up for this moment
└└ Sir, I was a Starium fan then but small problems kept happening and debut kept getting delayed… ã… _ã… ))) I was so upset I just left the fandom… Since it’s been ruined for a long time, I think this worked out better for Sol
[Kids, am I the only one who likes Yoon Seowoo? I was worried because he seemed a bit bland in interviews and jackets, but wow he’s really good, perfect for fresh refreshing youth concepts;]
â”” Sailor uniform shorts boyish beauty for real
â”” Those who said he had a common guy face come out lololol You can’t find a face like that even if you search all of Gangnam Seongsu Hongdae Itaewon
└└ Who says he’s common lol All the common guys died
â”” I thought his voice was weak but looking at his bridge range and vocal power, he seems like he’d handle other genres well too… I’d like him to do refreshing band stuff too
[Glamorous and intensely strong black-haired handsome guy vs warm gentle neat brown-haired beauty, what’s your choice?]
â”” Shout Na Jihan
â”” Ah but still it’s Jihan, he’s the visual center main dancer
â”” Sorry but I’ll change the vs to x
└└ Arcus flavor
└└ Don’t bury the shipping here…
└└└ Why not? It’s my only joy after being released, please understand
[JihanSeowoo’s visual chemistry was sent from heaven]
â”” They communicated in the womb? This is just divine selection;
└└ >>>>Divine selection<<<< I’ve lived my whole life and this is the first time I’ve heard such a thing
[People who think Na Jihan and Yoon Seowoo don’t match
Bang
Are there more?]
Exactly one week after the debut digital single ‘First Dream’ music video and audio were released and smoothly gained word-of-mouth, on Valentine’s Day.
