Joel’s Teaser

The teaser starts with him hanging out with a few friends, but he seems really bored. There were 4 people, including him. The other 3 were talking to each other, but Joel seemed to sit in silence. The conversation was inaudible but we can hear the surrounding; a café crowded with people. He felt lonely though people were around him.

He was so bored with everything, he had to walk outside just to get a bit of fresh air. He sighed, finally getting out from that boring atmosphere. Joel pulled out his phone to check any incoming messages and found nothing. He went through his social media quickly, but suddenly, a faint melody of their second album song intro played. Joel was so confused on where that sound was from, but when he looked up, he understood. The melody also stopped when he looked up.

In front of him was Melody, from the girl group Majesty. Instead of hearing inaudible conversation, we can hear the conversation. Here is how the conversation went through :

M : Hi!

J : H-hello there!

M : You're currently alone?

J : Well my friends are inside. I'm just bored.

M : I'm also kind of bored. Want to take a walk with me?

Joel was silent for a while, but later he managed to nod. He seemed so satisfied with what is happening. His crush, asking to go out with him. An offer to not to pass. So he said yes! The two walked together away from that café. For no apparent reason, the two started to hold hand, and the teaser 'ended' with Jooyoung singing this line :

내게 와줘

And the screen showed this

The teaser later continued to a view of Joel, seemingly inside his own wonderland, with his 3 friends (even Melody) trying to bring him back. It was all just his fantasy.

And when he did go back to the real-life, Joel saw the three friends, and his eye went to Melody. The girl smiled, before walking away from the scene.

There was a quick view of Joel's face, seemingly sad that Melody was going away, but later a smile formed on his lips.

That was the greatest fantasy ever.

(Melody is from @official-majesty)

(Thank you for letting her in the teaser <3)

Jinwoo’s Teaser

The scene opens up with a shot of a girl in a school uniform, walking straight towards someone. No one knows who it was due to the figure being blurred out. The girl was bearing a bow and arrow that resembled the one that cupid always have. The tip of the arrow was blunt, but the fletch ties resembles a heart.

The scene moves to Jinwoo, wearing an attire similar to his teaser photo. He was minding his own business; sitting on top of a teampoline inside the gym, absent-mindedly hitting the trampoline repeatedly, on beat. Some students in gym attire walked passed him and Jinwoo immediately covers his face to avoid eye contact with those people. It can be told that Jinwoo is EXTREMELY shy around people.

The girl with the cupid bow arrived near Jinwoo, her face was unseen but we can only see her smile forming a smile. Jinwoo noticed that someone else was around, but instead keeping his face covered, he uncovered his face, and saw the girl's face. A gust of wind went through his face, a look of admiration was visible on Jinwoo's face, as if he was lovestrucked by her.

The teaser nearly reached the end when the girl lifting her cupid bow and aimed to Jinwoo. The male didn't even get scared or anything, but he kept on staying in his position, before smiling widely and stretches his arms to the side. The focus of the camera changes so we can see both Jinwoo and the girl, and not long after that, the arrow flies right to him. The screen immediately turns light green, revealing this :

Taewon’s Teaser

Taewon appeared as a mature version of Jinwooo and Joel. The teaser started with a view of a wrist watch om his hand (which apparently still is a child-like watch). The clock showed the time; 6:57 AM. Then, the view switches to Taewon, seemingly worried about something. It's either worried being late, or worried in general. He was portrayed as a person who worries a lot, so it is possible for the latter to happen.

Taewon took a deep sigh when he finally reached his designated floor, and the clock hits 7 Am by the time the door opened. Reliefed that the morning meeting hasn't started, he immediately looked for an empty seat and then sat there. He closed his eyes and tried to control his breathing again.

But then again, his calmness was soon tobe robbed back because he realised, he was sitting right in front of his old crush. The one he always tried to get since the beginning of high school. Taewon didn't say anything afterwards but it was known from his face that he is panicking. God Damn it. That's his crush. She looks so professional in those attire.

And when he was in imagining things, the boss suddenly snapped Taewon awake, and the boy looked at the boss. It was Jooyoung, who looked really unsatisfied by that. The teaser ended by Jooyoung singing this one line

"Distinguish business and self."

And the screen shows this

Group teaser (All Over Again)

What is interesting about the final teaser (the group teaser) is that there were no photos of it. There was only a short clip of the group teaser in which all of them acted.

The teaser started with the 5 boys going up the stage. They wore different kind of attire but their theme is similar; black. They sesm to be preparing for a performance at a rooftop party at night. There were lightbulbs hanging above them still turned off, and people were already packed to watch the boys. They were still preparing themselves but the people were ready to watch. From left to right, there are Taewon, Jinwoo, Jooyoung, Hansol and at the far right, Joel. Since they were sesn from the front, it is later viewed in a flipped angle.

The scene switched to Jinwoo who is sitting down and taking his drumstick out. He tested things out (while waiting for his members) to be ready by hitting every single parts at the drum, making sure that everything is in place. There were some fans who were about to take some picture of him, and Jinwoo immediately responded by waving his hand and smiled to them.

The scene later changed to Taewon and Jooyoung seemingly reversing the song once again. Jooyoung was seen stopping Taewon at times and tried to help him remember the lines while two of his hands were also used to fix the costume issue at Taewon's blazer. Meanwhile, Taewon was seen repeating on the things that Jooyoung had said.

Last close up is between Joel and Hansol, just goofing around. The two were done preparing already. At first, none of them did anything but a second later, the two bursted out dancing to Chungha's snapping.

When they were done, all me.bers took their positions and tested their mics. When all of them is a go, Jooyoung nodded at Joel to give a special welcome to them, and in which it was a good speech. Probably too good until Jooyoung saw the girl that he had been chasing, laughing at a joke that someone threw to her.

Jooyoung froze at his place, as the crowd's noise, Joel's speech and everything went to blur. His focus was just on the girl and the couple. He couldn't stop giving out his smile to them as he looked at his female crush since highschool, then to the male. All of the sudden, the light bulbs above them turns on and the sound returned to normal. Jooyoung kept his gaze towards the male, as a smile slowly formed on his lips, gradually growing wider.

The male that Jooyoung had set his eyes to suddenly turned around and they made an eys contact. No one said anything, even Jooyoung's smile were wiped away when the male looked at him. And what happened next? The two shared a knowing smile, as Hansol started to play the keyboard. Jooyoung realised at that one time; he was not in love with a girl and the reason why he couldn't get her because he does not want to try to get a girl; he just wanted to get the guy.

The teaser ended when Hansol finished the opening piano part of the song, with Jooyung still looking at that male. However, from behind, Jinwoo was preparing himself to go at the corresponding moment, but was too sistracted at the fact that Jooyoung sets an eye on someone else, but ... not him. The screen later turns black, and the song that Hansol played also stopped afterwards.

The ending was abrupt. Like how his feelings to her changed immediately.

[100billionwon]

The teaser starts with a close up of Hansol, with his head suppprted by his right arm and his other arm writing something on a desk. He was looking down towards what he was writing half of the time, even when the camera slowly moved further from his close up position.

Hansol suddenly stopped writing, tore a page, and threw it behind him. The scene changed into a shot of a pile of papers turned into a ball and was thrown away by Hansol. Not long after, the recent paperball joined the others. There were a total of 3 papers down there, and with that additional one, it made 4.

The teaser later showed a scene where Hansol picked up his phone and revealed his lockscreen; a photo of him and a girl that can be assumed as the one who made the boys fell in love. The two, however, was shown to not be that close, and can be considered that they are just two friends.

Hansol didn't say anything afterwards, but as soon as he was about to put back his phone, a message from Jinwoo came through. We do not know the context of the message, but the message received is below:

Are you sure you want to stop?

Puzzled, Hansol only left the chat on read as he placed his phone at the side. He took his pen again and was about to write again, but unlike before, he suffered from a sudden writer block. He didn't write anything, but instead he let out a long tired sigh, as he looked outside of his window located just above the desk.

The teaser ends when a short instumental of the next song started to play as the camera zooms out from Hansol, who is currently looking outside the window, with his two hands crossed, before showing this at the end as well as the instumental stopping before the vocal part starts to play.

Jooyoung's teaser

Amongst all individual teaser posted, Jooyoung's teaser is probably the shortest and the vaguest one. The clip only lasted for 19 seconds, while the rest of the members has at least 30 seconds each.

The teaser starts with Jooyoung frantically putting everything inside a box. He scooped all his notebooks and placed it inside the box, threw all of his writing inside as well. The clip didn't show Jooyoung's face at all but they showed Jooyoung's frantic hands cleaning up. Galaxies (100Billions fans) knew it was Jooyoung's because he is the last member that has not released an individual teaser yet.

A few seconds before the clip ended, Jooyoung picked up a photo from his table, showing a picture of him and a girl, posing similarly like the picture at Hansol's lockscreen. We have a few seconds quick look at the photo, before he ripped it apart and threw the picture away.

The teaser reached it's ending when finally, there was a shot at Jooyoung's face, looking down towards the box that he has, smiling slightly, and closed it violently. He took the box and went off-screen. The screen showed the 5th track of the album, but ambience sounds were still playing. It consisted of: Jooyoung's footstep, a trashcan being lifted open, and a sound of a heavy thing being thrown inside the garbage.

All over again : 100Billion 2nd Album

All Over Again was the second full album of Zegen Entertainment’s band, 100Billions, that was released on the 6th of March 2020. The album contained 6 songs, in which their single ‘Solfamiredo’ and ‘Sosime’ will be included in this album as well. According to Jooyoung, the album is a whole storyline of a young boy falling in love with his significant other. The boy went through various phases to get the girl and experienced many emotions throughout his journey to get the girl. From happiness, despair and standing back up, 100Billions will tell that story through the songs that they have produced.

                                                  TRACKLIST

1. Sosime

“Oh my God, what should I do right now? She’s right there, but why am I still standing very still?”

Sosime is the intro of the album. 100Billions kicked off the album with a cute upbeat rock with school aesthetics, supporting the youthfulness they were trying to bring. The song tells a story about a timid boy who is too awkward to confess to their significant others. This song will have its own music video and will be promoted in music shows.

2. Solfamiredo

“Yeah yeah yeah yeah, with you, 니가 좋아!”

Solfamiredo is the second track of the album. This also has a sense of upbeat rock. This song talks about how when the boy falls in love, the wind was not just the wind blowing, but it is the nature singing Sol Fa Mi Re Do. He felt happier when she was around him and he wanted (and will try) to approach her.

3. Distinguish | I: Onewe - 0 to 4

“Distinguish your reality and hers, this is not a love conselor.”

The young boy turned older and started working. He was actually working along with the girl who he had longed to be together. He kept on telling himself that he should start distinguishing between his real-life work and his romance life. He tried various times to focus on his work but instead, he fell back into his habit of falling in love with her. Taewon said that the reason why this has a rather chill tone because when they were making this music, he kept on imagining montages of this one person kept on trying to avoid showing affection to his significant others throughout the entire song, and he thought it was fitting.

4. 몰라 (I don’t know) | Insp: The Rose - I don’t know you

"I don’t know, but I do feel like that I should stop. Since the star of our time, I was biding my time, now I feel like giving up.”

몰라 is the part when things started to tone down a bit. Some fans can notice the sudden change of vibe from Distinguish to 몰라 and according to Joel, that is their plan. To cite back from what Jinwoo had said about the tone, calmer tones meant that the young boy is starting to give up hope in getting her. The boy starting to question whether all these chasing and wanting to get the girl of his dream was a good idea from the beginning.

5. Leave it | Insp: W24 - Yeah

“No need to turn back, I now know what are the mistakes I did. I should leave you now. I hope that you will live well, well.”

Leave it marks the end of the young boy’s struggle to get the girl of his dream. He tried everything to get her but nothing seems to be working. He took a step back. They made the song as if the listeners are listening to an outro, as well as marking the end of the boy’s story. However, this song was not the final song.

6. All over again* | Insp: Day6 - First time

“All over again, It’s been years but you are still beautiful, I’ve fell in love again, for you.” 

This song is the final song of the album. Just like the title suggests, this song shows the boy who apparently, still has feelings for the girl that he had been looking for. He had fallen in love all over again, despite failing a lot of times prior. Joel stated that this song is the main idea of the whole album. The song is slow-paced, but it does have a sense of hope. This signifies that despite all the roller coaster of emotions, the boy still loved her and will pretty much fall in love again (and will try to gain her attention again). Unlike other Kpop albums who has the title song at the first 3, 100Billions placed their title song at the very ending of the album. This song will be promoted along with Sosime as well as having its own music video.
