[Editor Jeon Min-jae] The story of how Shindong, a member of Super Junior, promoted the Harry Potter series spin-off movie 'Fantastic Beasts and Dumbledore's Secret' (hereafter, Shin Dong-dum) is becoming a hot topic online.
On the 12th, Warner Bros. Korea, the importer and distributor of 'Shindong Dum', released a short video titled 'Shindong's Manticore User's Manual' on its official YouTube channel.
In the one-minute video, Shindong copied the character 'Manticore' in the movie.
Manticores are one of the new animals appearing in 'Shindongdom', and in order not to be attacked by Manticores, they must imitate their unique movements.
Shindong wore the same costume as Newt Scamander, the main character of the movie, and performed the same performance with a magic wand in his hand.
At the end of the video, Shindong said, "I thought I was doing 'Dumb Dumb' because it was called 'Shindong Dumb'..." and she left singing the group Red Velvet's song 'Dumb Dumb'.
This scene shows why Shindong, who doesn't seem to have much to do with 'Shin Dong-Dum', received a love call from Warner Bros. Korea.
As the film's release date approached, domestic fans searched for 'Shindong-dum', an abbreviation for 'Fantastic Beasts and Dumbledore's Secret' on YouTube.
However, as the video of Shindong dancing Red Velvet's 'Dumb Dumb' was exposed above the trailer for the movie, we encountered unexpected content together.
Because of this, movie fans posted on social media, "I searched to see Shindong Dom, but only saw a video of Shindong Dum Dum dancing. Is this correct?", "Let's be alert. I will lose all (movie trailer) views to Shin Dong Dum Dum like this", "To Shin Dong Dum Dum. My eyes keep moving” and shared a funny (?) situation.
Through an online community, a post titled 'The recent status of the fandom of 'Shindongdom' who was angry with Shindong spread quickly, and Warner Bros. Korea, who saw this, officially hired Shindong to promote the movie.
Warner Bros. Korea posted on the official account on the 13th (13th), the release date of the movie, "Shindong + Shindong-dum is fate.
A behind-the-scenes video was additionally released with the description 'Behind the scenes of Shindong-dum and the Manticore Dance for those possessed by Shin-Dong-Dum'.
In the behind-the-scenes video, Shindong couldn't help but laugh when he saw himself imitating a mysterious animal and said, "Isn't it a surprise camera?"
