The pictorial of Subive, the founder of the 2024 ‘Mara Tanghulu’ Challenge, has been released.

In the pictorial, Subive shows off a variety of styles and an appearance full of Genji sensibility.

Subive‘s new song ‘Adults Don’t Know’, released on January 7, achieved the feat of reaching #2 on TikTok and Instagram music charts as of January 16, just 10 days after its release.

We asked Subive if he had dreamed of being a ‘singer and creator’ since he was young. Subive said, “I naturally stood in front of people, but I am able to do what I am doing now thanks to my strong will. I told my parents around May of the year before last that I wanted to pursue a singing career in earnest. He said, “Thanks to your willing help, I am able to be active like this now.”

Seave debuted in 2023 with ‘Mochimochi’ and created a huge sensation with ‘Mala Tanghulu’ last year. When asked if he expected this kind of reaction, Seave said, “To be honest, when I first heard the intro of ‘Mala Tanghulu’, ‘Senior, please buy me some mala tanggae’, I was a little skeptical. (Laughs) I thought a lot, ‘Will this song become popular?’, but I was surprised that it received much more attention than I expected.”

When asked if there was a reaction from the public that was the most memorable, Seave said, “It‘s the comment that says, ’I‘m getting kinged.’ (Laughs) To me, the phrase ‘I’m getting kinged‘ feels like a good thing. I hope everyone feels ‘King’ with my content,” he said, revealing his quirky charm.

Seave released a new song, ‘Adults Don’t Know’, to commemorate becoming a middle school student. It is a remake of the theme song of the same name from the 1988 popular movie ‘Adults Don‘t Know’. I asked if there was a special reason for remaking a song from a movie that came out long before Seave was born. Seave said, “This song was remade in the animation ‘Pororo’. I knew the song because I grew up watching Pororo. And I thought that this song represented my story now.”

“Since I work with my parents, even when we film short-form videos, when my mom says, ‘Eve, do this pose,’, I say, ‘We don’t do poses like that these days’ and grumble. (Laughs) There are a lot of cases like that. Really, adults don‘t know. The heart of a teenage girl,“ he said, conveying his thoughts contained in ‘Adults Don’t Know’.

We asked Subive what it feels like to be a singer and creator with 330,000 followers at a young age. Subive said, ”Well, it‘s the same. There’s not much difference between when I had 1 follower and when I had 330,000 followers. It‘s just something I want to do, so I’m having fun and having fun doing it. I don‘t really differentiate between when I’m working and when I‘m not. I think filming like today has naturally become a part of my life.“

He also added, ”As his popularity increases, he’s working hard to show a better side of himself, and he‘s preparing harder for his next song.“ Finally, when asked to give a spoiler about his next song, he said, ”Oh, I can’t... (After much thought) King... He made everyone ‘receive it! (laughs)”.
