Finished recording M! After tDown, they followed their manager non-stop to a live commercial performance, which was the opening ceremony of a shopping mall in Jiangnan District.
EXO didn't have much recognition before, and they didn't gain much fame when they returned this time. When they were performing on the stage, Chi Jingyuan could clearly see that many of the audience below had some confusion on their faces. It looks like it says 'Which combination is this'?
Although EXO gave him a cold reception, Chi Jingyuan was recognized by many people. After some older viewers stared at him for a few times, they suddenly realized and said to their friends next to them, "This is not "Please Reply" Is he the leading actor in 1997?
His recognition is quite high. Some people who are not in the boy band audience know his name and recognize his face. This also proves that his previous TV series and several hot searches were not in vain.
It was already dark after the commercial performance. After the EXO members hurriedly finished the dinner that their assistant had bought, they followed their manager to the KBS TV station.
They also have a radio program Kisstheradio to record later.
After their official comeback, EXO will naturally begin to participate in a large number of various programs and variety shows, making appearances as much as possible to promote this new album.
And even if there is no free time in the schedule, they can't rest and have to prepare for the re-release of the album.
The recording of "Roar" and the new included songs were completed before the comeback. Although I have practiced the dance for a long time, I am not very skilled yet, and the MV has not been shot yet because the styling will conflict with "Wolf" .
They have been quite busy in the past month or two.
The MC of the radio program KissTheRadio is SJ’s Ryeowook, a senior in the same company. He also has a good relationship with Kim Junmyeon. There will definitely be obvious flattery and bias during the recording, which can be regarded as helping EXO to promote .
When Chi Jingyuan goes on these programs, he will consciously put aside the edges, giving up all the shots to the members, and stand on the edge where the cameras can't reach and catch fish.
It's just that his popularity has dwindled within the team. In order to publicize and attract attention this time around, Chi Jingyuan often needs to rely on Chi Jingyuan's appearance and performance.
This was the case with this radio show. He had found a good and remote location, and the camera could only capture the back of his head.
But just when he was happily preparing to waste time, the PD stopped the recording and took the initiative to adjust Chi Jingyuan's position so that he sat directly in front of the camera.
On his left was Kai and on his right was Luhan, two members of Team K and Team M respectively, and he sat between them.
Chi Jingyuan's heart surged, and he couldn't refuse. He could only sit in the most conspicuous position and showed a business smile to the PD.
The recording of the radio program was a live broadcast, and it took almost two hours to finish. Ryeowook patted several members on the shoulders, cheered, and then everyone said goodbye and left.
There was no schedule to run after that, so they went back to the company's practice room and practiced for a few more hours before resting in the dormitory. The first day back came to pass in such a fulfilling and exhausting way.
The next day, May 31, discussions about EXO began to gradually spread online.
After yesterday's M!C broadcast, a large number of EXO fans who had been sticking to the first stage broadcast watched the live broadcast immediately. They were impressed by EXO's very different image on the first stage from the debut, and the stage performance and charm that exceeded expectations. Shocked and extremely pleasantly surprised.
That night, the major fan groups exploded. Countless fans were talking about this comeback and the stage. Most of them were satisfied, especially the looks of several members. Some of them thought the song was average, but the stage was very nice. .
Overall, the majority of reviews are positive.
Then they began to spontaneously promote in fan groups and major forums, gradually spreading the news of EXO's return, attracting more people to watch their idol's stage.
It's just that the official comeback first album was officially released on June 3, and it's only open for pre-sale now. Although EXO has already participated in the stage performance, it is still strictly a warm-up, because even the sound source of the title song is not available. It hasn't been announced yet, and I can't participate in the song selection.
With countless fans waiting anxiously, EXO participated in the recording of Music Bank again on May 30, performing exactly the same stage as M!C yesterday.
That night, he also participated in the radio program SBS's radio program YoungStreed for promotion.
The host of this show is Boom, who used to be the MC of "Invincible Youth 2". He had a brief communication with Jingyuan on the phone during the show, but there was no interaction after that.
The 31st passed, and then we entered June. EXO participated in the recording of MBC's Music Center and SBS's Inkigayo on June 1st and 2nd respectively, ending the first week of singing activities.
I participated in the singing program for four consecutive days from May 30th, and every day the performances were all performed on the stage of "Wolf" with special choreography.
EXO's return with its unique look and charming stage has attracted a lot of love from the audience after the four-day singing program. In addition to their fans who have been promoting spontaneously, discussions about EXO's return have already begun. A momentum was slowly building online.
After four days of brewing, this momentum cannot be underestimated. How good EXO's comeback will be is now waiting to be seen after the album is officially released on June 3.
…
At noon on June 3, EXO had just finished two commercial performances in the morning and were eating in a private room of a restaurant in Seocho District.
The food had already arrived, but few people moved their chopsticks. All the members were holding their mobile phones and refreshing the web page, just wanting to see the music results of their comeback as soon as possible.
Their regular album "XOXO" was officially released today. The album is on sale and the sound sources of all songs have been released.
The real-time music score will be officially refreshed at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. It is only a few minutes before 1 o'clock. Even though the members are already hungry, their thoughts are all on the music score.
There are many criteria to measure whether a Peninsula artist is popular or not, but the two most intuitive and important indicators are sound source and sales.
The performance of the music source on the first day after the release of this album will also indicate whether EXO will have a good future.
"Which list are you on?"
Chi Jingyuan glanced at Wu Shixun next to him and asked.
Peninsula has eight major music source lists. The gold content and market share weight may be high or low, but they are all official music source lists and all have some reference value.
"I'm using the BUS, what about you?"
Wu Shixun didn't look up. His fingers kept sliding on the screen of his phone, refreshing the page.
"I'm watching Melon."
Chi Jingyuan replied.
The results are about to come out soon. Even if it is just the first day's results, it is hard to say what the future trend will be, but Chi Jingyuan can't help but feel a little nervous.
The hour hand of the clock pointed to 1, the minute hand pointed to 12 o'clock, and the lists that all members were brushing were stuck at the same time.
"It's out, it's out, hey, it's great!"
"Jingyuan, come here and take a look, we've made a big hit on the BUS list!"
Wu Shixun next to him was the first to shout, staring excitedly at the screen of his mobile phone, shouting loudly, with a wanton smile on his face.
Chi Jingyuan next to him was startled by his roar before he could refresh the page on his phone. He couldn't help but turn his head and look at Wu Shixun's phone.
After seeing it clearly, his eyes couldn't help but freeze.
I saw that Wu Shixun's real-time music list page was open on his mobile phone.
The list was refreshed just a few seconds ago.
At this time, the list went from No. 1 to No. 12. The album covers in front of the song titles were all exactly the same. The illustrations had 'XOXO' written in a funny artistic font that was very conspicuous.
The singers of all the top twelve songs on the list are all from the same group.
EXO.
