"... and that was how i was kicked out from the position: Leader" It hurts us fans tremendously that the company did that to you, but know that many MINEs still consider the time you were in, as the greatest era the group has ever shined. Plus you're also the best to have ever lead them. Once the leader, Always the leader.
STOP CALLING YOURSELF UGLY OR SCARY. All the girls of 9Muses are beautiful from the inside and outside, and so are you ❤ You are still so humble and fresh, I hope you realize how much MINEs miss you ❤
hahaha I agree. Especially News, whenever I rewatch that music video, the top comments on the video are always about Sera's stare that made them diehard namyu fans :P
I don't think she really thinks she was ugly, I think she just thinks some of her styling was weird or ugly. If you notice there's a few mvs where she says nothing negative about herself, she's styled pretty normally in those.
You can tell she loved those members by how she reacted every time they were on screen. Some groups can't stand each other in there but she loved all the girls and its so evident
You girls had literally one of the best discography ever in K-Pop history. One of the few groups with actually good songs instead of album fillers, not just the title tracks. And despite always being too overlooked because of other groups with bigger fandoms or better promotional support, you should be proud, like the girls of Rainbow, of what you contributed to K-Pop: QUALITY.
You cared about the maknaes honor. You were right, it wasn't good to put you guys in an outfit you were super uncomfortable with. You are the true leader of 9muses and that will NEVer change.
You can tell how bad a company is by how many employees choose to leave. Just look at how many lineup changes 9Muses went through. All these songs were great, why weren't they more successful?
but 9muses, like afterschool, were a graduation type group so it makes sense why they "graduated" but the company was also just pure shit. screwed over 9muses and ze:a
@@kyeoptawerk93ah "graduations" are a cheap excuse for companies to keep milking off a group's brand despite key members leaving. sera leaving 9muses, kahi leaving afterschool... both of those things hurt the groups in question beyond repair. nobody in a "graduation group" leaves under good terms, the contrats might end but there's always a very good reason for them to not resign. and the "graduation" system just doesn't fit kpop. it's an attempt at j-pop's own graduation system, and it works and makes sense for j-pop groups like akb48, nogizaka46, etc. j-pop idols "graduate" because their time is up - fans knew they would leave eventually. they leave to have solo careers, go back to school, go back to normal life, and they're given a graduation ceremony with the fans and the other members. k-pop idols "graduate" randomly, nobody knows who's leaving and when, the idol happened to finally see a chance to free themselves from horrible management, and the fans are caught by surprise.
@@kyeoptawerk93ah I don't think so, the comment from @nina is right, the company invented this as an excuse for the members leaving all the time, because it wasn't working for them.
Nine Muses are and were one of the greatest girl groups in kpop history. With one of the best discographies in kpop history. They have been criminally underrated and IMHO badly mismanaged. If they had been supported and promoted better or from one of the big companies they would and should have been huge. I will always love and support you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗
There is only one reason that Nine Muses weren't more successful. Their height, age, and overall sophistication made them seem too old and inaccessible to be kids' fantasy girlfriends. Bottom line: they were too good for kpop.
Always remember that You and Hyemi are the best vocalists Nine Muses ever had. The 2011-2013 Lineup is irreplaceable - Lee Sem, Eunji and you, Sera. Nobody can ever replace your position from the group.
@@trucwde yessssss i mean sera hits diff same with eunji and lee sem but she got kicked by shit empire at least keumjo and gabin did a good job replacing those 3
i don’t even blame her, sweetune is one of the best kpop producers and their work on figaro is so good… but also the retro concept was super cool too :]
9muses got a lot of hate when they debuted just for the fact that they had 9 members because it was during snsd's peak.. Now almost all girl groups now have 9 members..and no one bats an eye
The MV at 20:00 the clothes also looks like SNSDs, they have some photos that looks like SNSD photos, maybe the company wanted like this to get famous and bc of that koreans hated them, bu after some years it changed! I love 9MUSES and love SNSD, they have differents vibes, It was the company fault in my opinian, and of course the koreans that hated them based on that! ps: english is not my first language, sorry!
This was such a bittersweet video Sera. It was nice seeing you involve nine muses on your channel as they will always have a special place in my heart. Hyemi will always be my number 1 bias in K-pop and when you said you were having a hard time watching this because of how young some of the members were during filming it made me cry a little. You are the sweetest and you definitely didn't deserve to be kicked out as leader. We love you Sera, Queen of Orbits!
Sera hasn't aged a day. She's really the most eye catching member for me. Stan-worthy not just for her looks, but for her monster vocals as well ❤️ sad that they disbanded. I wish they would've stayed longer but ofc bad management
I'm watching this again and here are my thoughts. No Playboy was a great song, but having seen the British documentary showing how not just you but all the members were treated and the manager saying the song was terrible it's all just heart breaking. We can only begin to imagine how hard all of you worked, then to be treated like that is just adding insult to injury. I can only hope that asshole managers like that aren't the norm but I have a feeling they are. Personally, I would LOVE to see a 9Muses reunion tour. For me, that would be worth the price of a trip to Korea to see. I'd love to see all of you reunited and performing for 2-3 hours all the great songs that were done. I still listen to your music every day and it always brings a smile to my face and joy to my heart.
i didnt care for the bosses in the industry this stuff is not for every one for sure cuz lots of stress people on the out side only see the star looks stuff and the fun 1 girl said she was going to feel excited for the day brew yet she felt empty ''yeah cuz u have to be what they make u to be and be a certin way and betray .. i think that why some had to run away to finde them self agin whom am i ?
True however in the Big three 2007-3/27/19 the closest equivalent for her is YG entertainment CL 2ne1. Vocal wise it would be JYP entertainment Yeeun or SM entertainment Taeyeon snsd
This is making me happy and sad. I am grateful that Sera cover up the stories behind the scenes too. Even tho its sad, its something that some fans would never realize and they need to know. Its difficult to be an artist. I wish for happiness for all 9muses members.
It's easy to forget about the immense hardships kpop idols go through when all we see is the fun times and performances. I wish they were allowed to open up about the bad times but it's bad pr
That's crazy! Sera is so beautiful, I almost want to say more so now then before but I'd never want to actually compare. But she really looks like she's in her mid twenties!
You don’t understand how much 9muses impacted my life. You girls released the best music in kpop imo and should’ve been the biggest girl group in the world after releasing dolls (one of the best songs ever). Sera I loce you so much you were always my favorite member and after you left it wasn’t the same, however as a fan I know that you did the right thing. Love you and 9muses forever
I agree, it broke my heart when she said that the first mv was painful for her and the girls to film, but seeing the reason why, it makes sense. Now I’m never going to look at the mv the same. Their management should have done better.
@@Megan11.. It was back during a time when underage idols were viewed as 'normal'. Taemin of SHINee debuted at 14, Krystal turned 15 one month AFTER f(x)'s debut, Seohyun and Yoona of SNSD were also 16 when they debuted, Minzy was 15 when 2NE1 came on the scene. Frankly, most of these groups did not have any provocative songs or choreographies, particularly SNSD. When they approached a more "mature" image, all of the members had already turned the legal age in Korea as well. But then, there is Minzy. In 2010, 2NE1 had their comeback with 'Can't Nobody'. In the MV, there is a scene of Minzy dressed in leather leggings and a leather corset-like top, in heels, walking and dancing down a hallway, a few particular seconds are also rather 'suggestive'. It would all seem fine until you realize that Minzy was 16 when they filmed that MV. Fans weren't pleased with that either, but it didn't even make headlines because people were quicker to brush things off then. Things are different now, underage debuts are more controversial now and when they happen, I personally feel like the group isn't given a concept similar to Nine Muses. Take Itzy as an example - 3 out of 5 members are underage in Korea, 1 of those 3 is also underage internationally. Their concepts aren't really 'mature'. Seeing someone debut at 14 or 15 nowadays is certainly much less common (if not even impossible) nowadays. And that's a good thing.
I'm responding to this video a little late because I just watched it, but I have to say that out of all the K-pop groups, 9Muses has the most originality and discography in their music videos. I'm really amazed by all of your efforts and the fact that you never gave up. We will always remember you guys, and Sera, this must have been so overwhelming for you, but it shows how strong you are and how everything you went through shaped you into who you are, and you were always an outstanding leader because of how much you cared about your group. I will always enjoy your songs because I recognize how hard you all worked for it, and it is genuinely fantastic.
sera i know you have thousands of comments here already so you may not see mine but i want to let you know how much 9muses impacted me. i'm a korean expat in canada and for a while i didn't like kpop because i was embarrassed of it. 9muses was the first group way back in 2014 that i liked and has brought me to where i am today, a huge kpop fan with an appreciation for it and a better connection to the country overall. 9muses brought me closer to my history by connecting me with korean music. thank you to you and the other girls so much. 9muses will always be one of my favourite groups ever, with some of the best title songs i've ever heard.
Oh no poor girl literally looked traumatized when she watched no playboy. That is actual trauma. SE should honestly be charged for how they abused and mistreated these girls 🤬 Sera, please know that you and the namu girls were WARRIORS for working so hard and killing it every time
I agree and had JYP brought them from Star Empire they would still be active right now. however at the cost of getting dislikes from Onces Twice Fans do not appreciate them. For them it's Jihyo > Sera.
This is honestly the cutest thing ever 💜 I'm a new K-POP fan, and I really love 9Muses. I watched the BBC documentary, so now I'm caught up in all the drama around this band. Sera does seem to be the soul of 9Muses, and it's sweet to see her watching their music videos and appreciating the performance, and singing along with. Those songs are such absolute bops!!!
Even Glue was just a low budget music video, the song itself is so expensive. Expensively great to listen. A bop. Maybe Glue was created in a low budget music video because that year, they had 4 comebacks in a year.
언니 나는 아직도 기억해 2013년 12월 22일 언니가 나인뮤지스 세라로 무대에 섰던 마지막 음악방송에서 멤버들 쓰다듬어 주면서 쳐다 보던 눈빛을 아직도 잊지 못해 괜히 마음이 아리고 아프더라 기억에 오래 남아서 2019년인 지금도 언니를 찾고 그 영상을 이따금씩 찾아서 보곤 해 다행히 언니가 멈추지 않고 노래를 하고 있는 것에 감사했어 언니의 목소리를 참 좋아했거든 그건 나뿐만은 아닐거야 그러니 앞으로도 언니가 하고 싶은 노래 하면서 행복하길 바라고 또 바랄게 나인뮤지스의 세라도 지금의 류세라도 무한히 사랑해
From watching the BBC documentary on Nine Muses their company hardly gave them any positive feedback and gratitude, any tiny mistake they made was pointed out and addressed harshly, about playboy the visuals were great all nine of them looked stunning and the girls performance was great. Very professional. Those Star Empire managers nitpicked at Playboy. In fact all of Nine Muses lead singles were bops. 😊 Their company should've nurtured them more and their talents and listened to Sera's input instead of kicking her out. So sad that the Kpop industry cannot be more humane and caring towards their hardworking idols who sacrificed so much.
We know that Nine Muses members were cast to consist of tall, attractive models that could sing, do choreography well, and be willing to put in the work. Limiting and finding such talent was obviously difficult when as models most had other career options. Because of this, being leader must have been as hard as herding (much loved) cats! Members continuing to leave the group after debut shows that. In addition, management appeared to be very difficult and not very understanding to work with. Sera, many if not most of your fans have probably seen the kpop documentary years ago on Nine Muses that included your experience as leader. The feeling of empathy and respect as I watched you do your very best there is one the reasons I follow you now with my utmost appreciation for your insight and compassion as you cover other kpop groups like Loona. Your talented performances in Nine Muses is of course the other reason. Thank you. We appreciate you very much.
Thank you for being so honest. It must be hard to rewatch all of this. But it must be nice to recall some good memories too. I hope you are happy these days and I’m thankful you are so strong to be so open with us
sera u dont look scary in news i remember when i first watched it i thought u were literally the most beautiful one in that lighting and you had the BEST facial expressions. u had that concept DOWNNNN
After "Doll" and "Wild", i really thought you guys were going to hit it big... 9Muses had the best rapper lines in that era as well... I could never understand why Rainbow and 9Muses just couldn't make the next big step... they were both great!
When you left 9Muses Sera as a fan it broke my heart, when I first got into kpop 9Muses was the first group I fell for, every song you released became an instant favourite. You were one of the best leaders a group could ask for and it was clear that you really cared for all of the girls. I'm sure that all of the MINEs will agree that you did us proud. Much love Sera you will always be 9Muses leader in my heart 🤗♥️🤗♥️
I think the members of nine muses can hold their heads high due to their hard work and sacrifice. They all did a great job despite difficult circumstances. Unfortunately the whole industry is rife with abusive management, slave contracts and other issues such as crazed netizens. It's time for some big reforms in the KPOP industry. I feel so sorry for some of the talented performers who are no longer with us.
MOON HYUNA. LEE HYUNJOO. RYU SERA. LEE EUAERIN. PARK EUNJI. SON SUNGAH. PARK KYUNGRI. PYO HYEMI. PARK MINHA. WA-ILDE NA-IN MUSES JJANG (one) of my most favorite kpop line up OF ALL TIME and the only 9Muses line up i stan FOREVER
Damn, I didn't know they went through all that during No Playboy. The company was in the wrong to sexualize the members, esp when they were so uncomfortable with it. Sera looked so miserable watching the MV. You can tell how much happier she was to review Figaro (which is my favorite 9 Muses song and the one that got me into them).
If you haven't seen the documentary about them, "9 Muses of Star Empire", I HIGHLY recommend it. You will see all the backstage things. It's so heartbreaking to watch but it'll make you understand what they went through.
언니 저는 13살때부터 나인뮤지스 팬이였구요 그중에서 세라 언니를 가장 좋아했어요. 언젠가 성인이되면 만나서 엄청 친한 언니동생으로 지낼 것 같다는 정말 말도안되는 믿음이 있었는데요. 전 지금 20이에요..!! 어디선가 멋지게 살고 계실 줄 알았는데 유튜브에 미스백 영상이 뜨고 언니 얼굴이 너무 오랜만이라서 동영상을 들어가보니... 많이 힘든 모습을 봤어요.. 제가 언니를 13살부터 좋아한 이유는 목소리가 까랑까랑해서 음색이랑 성량이 너무 좋았구요. 그만큼 노래도 꾀꼬리 같이 잘 부르셨어요. 그땐 정말 세상에서 언니가 제일 예쁜 여자라고 생각했어요. 자신감을 잃지말고 더 멋진 류세라가 되어 주세요!! 언젠가 만날 수 있을거라 믿어요!!! 사랑해요
Nine Muses has so much potential since debut it just the company didn't give you guys proper treatment and promotion and marketing.. Nine Muses deserve better. You guys did well since debut.
Not exactly the case, but sadly there are many groups and songs with potential, but the media broadcasters are completely buried in songs and groups from the 4-5 big companies where the top artists are registered. In the past trying to focus on a foreign market was a risky strategy where some were successful like KARA, and others followed, I think Blackpink is more famous in the U. S than in South Korea.. Nowadays has become common to care for "global fans", but still there're so many groups to pay attention to every song.
We love you so much. I only got into Nine Muses when Wild came out but it was never, ever the same without you in the group. The way your company treated you was vile and despicable. You all deserved so much more as a group ❤
I still remember when I first came across 9 muses. I was 13 at that time, listening to them performing at music bank 'one-way ticket' on TV after finishing school. From then on, I liked every song they released, even learning their dances. I can't remember when I stopped following 9 muses. Fast forward to a few days ago, I RU-vid randomly recommended a video to me the documentary ''9 Muses Of Star Empire''. I was pretty shocked that they even had a documentary. Honestly, it was hard to watch, but I still watched all the way. It's so painful to see the members going through that much stress and abuse. When I see Sera cried, it just broke my heart. I'm 24 now, it's been 10 years :O A lot of us seriously don't know why 9muses couldn't top the charts. The music is so good. I hope you're doing well now. Going to subscribe to your Patreon later :D
I think you and all the other members of 9MUSES are extremely strong and warlike women for having experienced all these injustices and bad situations and still having built an incredible career within the K-pop industry. I'm very proud of who you are. BTW, no kidding, you're so pretty and very talented, no matter how much time spend. We love you so much.
always fun to see idols react to their own (old) mv , bit of cringey , bit of happines from good memories they make , and a bit sadness from all hardwork they've done. ps : Ms. Sera looks gorgeous here :D
Sera, I loved your reaction to your NineMuses MV’s. You started out nervous and scared, but then you blossomed into joy as good memories came back to you. Rarely do we get the opportunity to see a Star review their own work and entertain us at the same time. Would you consider reviewing NineMuses maybe once a year, every year? It would be great fun, as you may see interesting and different things to comment on, as the years pass. You are a celebrity and a Star, and you always will be.
9muses is known as the group that had all beautiful women outside and inside, 9muses and every member that has been part of it are loved now by those fans and others. Thank you for sharing this and giving us this understanding.
개인적으로 매우 안타까운 걸그룹....리얼 노래 안무 매력 하나 나무랄대가 없는 걸그룹이였는데...특히 보이스 컬러랑 킬링파트 렙이 쩔어줬지...특히 돌스 드라마 같은 경우는 보이스 렙 안무 뭐하나 부족한게 없는 노래..아무리 봐도 운때가 안맞았거나 소속사가 병신이였던듯..
소속사가 안좋았던거 맞음ㅋㅋ 세라 유투브니까 쎈 욕은 못하겠는데.. 스타제국이 쥬얼리때부터 언플은 전혀 못했었고 제국의아이들도 멤버들이 스스로 예능나가서 인지도랑 인기 높은거임 특히 임시완은 연기하는것도 스스로 알아보고 오디션 보고 그랬다던데 ㅋㅋㅋ 오죽하면 스타죄국이라고 불릴까 그랬는데 나뮤까지 보고나니까 진짜 스타죄국 맞음 스타성이 있는 인재는 잘 찾는데 소속사 개념의 케어를 전혀 안 함
Re: no playboy..........Its not fun realizing how young girls from "older girl groups" were when they did "sexy concepts"..........chanmi from aoa is only 23 right now but aoa debuted almost 8 years ago........it really sucks
Just here for a laff mate exACTly!i think the same thing!atleast aoa didn’t start doing RISK-AY stuff,until miniskirt,or was it the “hot pants/short shorts” video?(I can’t remember the name of THAT song,lol
@@balue707 it was Confused lol they kinda started doing sexy from there.....chanmi was like 18 and seolhyun 19.....its kinda worse for me knowing that they started out a rock band concept but nobody liked it so they did sexy which sells better......a lot of "2nd gen girl group members" from like 2010 and on are currently under 30.....its a lot to think about
You know about Rania right? Their youngest members were 17 international age when they debuted and they debuted risqué. But speaking of AOA, I hope they revisit the band concept before they disband.
AOA sexy concept begins in "Confused" and chanmi was 17, thats crazy. ever worse when fx(with snsd) released "Chocolate Love" and Krystal was 14, Sulli 15, and Luna 16 lol
Figaro - such a great song. Super syncronized dancing as well. Very well done performance. Even if there's sure some traumatic experiences from the whole Nine Muses deal, there will always be some nice moments to come from it. You managed to do things that billions of people only could wish for. Be proud of it. Wishing you all the best in your career and that you'll have all the happiness in the world. Greetings from and old/early days overseas K-pop fan (the days when K-pop was in it's infancy).
all i have to say is that 9muses had one of the best discographies in kpop, and that sera is a main character there, the group is not the same without her!
딸을 키우는 50대 아저씨입니다 방송보고 안타까워서 찾아 들어왔습니다 앞으로 잘 되기를 바랍니다 혹, 지금 힘든 것이 자신 때문이라는 자책을 하지 말았으면 합니다 당신은 열심히 살아왔고 지금까지 잘 견뎠습니다 주변에 세라양을 응원하고 사랑하는 사람이 많다는 것을 잊지 마시고 힘내세요. 홧팅입니다
@@Myomyomyomyomyo19 sera is still in touch with the girls she invites hyuna to sing with her on stage in her intimate concert with fans last year, they sing dolls i think. also she was at sungahs wedding along with og members including (rana?), they are still friends.
미쓰백보고 너무 걱정많이했는데 나인뮤지스 뮤비들보고 처음곡말고는 볼때마다 너무 신나하고 입꼬리가 보는내내 안내려오는거보고 그나마 조금 다행이라고 생각이드네여 ㅠㅠ 나인뮤지스로 활동하는동안 매번 좋은기억은 아니었겠지만 보는내내 웃고 안무따라하고 노래부르고 하는거보고 너무 기분이좋네여 ㅠㅠ 진짜 음색 너무 좋아서 노래부르는거보고 어떻게 저렇게 잘부를까 하면서 무대봤던거 기억나네여 ㅠㅠ 여전히 노래잘부르시고 ㅠ 여전히 나인뮤지스 곡 아주 잘듣고있어요🖐 아니 그리고 안무연습을 얼마나 열심히 했으면 아직도 기억나여 ㅠㅠ

You deserved to be a part of a company that acknowledged your value as a stunning, talented artist, and respected all of your wishes. What they did to you and the other girls was criminally abusive. I can only try to imagine how it must have felt to be exploited and left feeling like an empty shell of a person. You deserved to love what you were a part of, and to be confident and happy as an individual. No words can convey the amount of strength it must have taken you to fight through your experience. I hope you can see now just how unlimited your worth is, and how beautiful you are inside and out
Nine Muses is one of the best girls groups out there and their songs are just such lit tunes. It's sad they didn't receive the recognition they deserved and their management didn't do a proper job taking care of the girls. They are so classy that they can make low budget videos look great. I can't express how much I miss seeing them performing, i started stanning since Wild because of their amazing vocals. Seeing them leaving one by one made me sad but I'm glad they are living their lives their own way with freedom. Thank you Sera for this video, Love you💕
You probably won’t read this but just so you know, caring that strongly and wanting to protect your members makes you the best leader. No one should be able to tell you otherwise
I didn't know about 9Muses since today. And it really broke my heart to see how you and the other women got treated. You're really strong and brave to re-watch this. Please don't let anyone take your strength and heart-warming being away from you. You're loved.
I have full respect for all Nine muses members and specially Sera, and it's amezing how she has pride for her member very wholesome. thanks for this video, everyone should watch the documentary to understand. 😊😊👍
처음에 우는 걸 보고 저도 많은 생각이 들었는데 휘가로부터 웃으며 에피소드를 풀어주는 세라님을 보고 같이 행복했어요. 옛날 일을 생각할 때 즐겁지 않으면 구독자들을 위해 굳이 다시 떠올릴 필요는 없다고 생각해요. 하지만 언니가 하는 모든 일을 응원합니다!! 같이 뮤직비디오 다시 봐줘서 고마워요 사랑해용♥
Watching 'Ticket' is so nostalgic since it was one of the first kpop videos I ever watched and loved immediately. Nine Muses remains the girl group with some of the best choreography, music & synchronization
