"By the way, did you see the fan meal of Jingyuan and Sehun at their birthday party yesterday?"
Park Chanyeol mentioned this again with a smile on his face, licked his lips and exclaimed: "Jinjia, you dance so well, that wave is really..."
"Brother, you like this song so much. Why didn't you dance with us yesterday?"
Chi Jingyuan glanced over and was a little speechless for this brother.
Park Chanyeol and Kim Jong-in don't know whether they like to watch the maknae lively or they really like the style of "Coming of Age" dance. They talk about it from time to time. Yesterday, Ji Kyung-won and Jung Soo-jung said goodbye and returned to the dormitory. At that time, the two of them were still awake, watching his fan photos on their mobile phones.
I really have enough free time...can't you make a phone call with the female supporter if you have the time?
But the fan fan Chi Jingyuan he mentioned really went to see it.
From the perspective of a bystander, he is wearing a serious and slim-fitting black suit in the video, and he is dancing sexy dance with an upright face. He is indeed very attractive, creating a strong contrast that makes the female fans' hearts flutter. No wonder As soon as this fan photo was posted online, the number of clicks soared, and it caused crazy discussions and licking of the screen by Chi Jingyuan’s fans.
After the birthday party yesterday, some photos of the meal and the scene were posted to the fan group by fans who were present, and some were uploaded directly to the Internet.
After seeing the live photos, Chi Jingyuan's various fanclubs started scrolling directly. Some of the attendees came back and talked about the progress of the birthday party and the experience of getting along with Chi Jingyuan in a showy tone, but to the end. How many female fans feel sour in their hearts.
Including the special "coming of age ceremony" stage, photos of members with cream on their faces coming down to distribute gifts when cutting the cake, and photos of receiving the small gifts carefully prepared by the K team.
Especially after the video of Chi Jingyuan sitting alone on the stage chatting with fans in attendance like good friends was released, some fans immediately broke their guard. In addition to expressing envy, jealousy and hatred towards those fans who got the quota for the birthday party, Other than that, there are crazy complaints against SM.
300 seats are not enough. SM is not enough for your whole family.
We really want to go there, I also want to chat and take photos with Yuan up close...
The more I thought about it, the angrier I became, and the more I thought about it, the angrier I became, so I just went to SM again.
Up to now, there are still many fans leaving messages on the company's website complaining that the company has no brains in planning the birthday party, and they should be laid off quickly so as not to harm other idols.
"Don't tell me, if I hadn't been an adult a long time ago, I would have jumped up there, so I wouldn't be as coy as you two."
Park Chanyeol shrugged with a natural look on his face: "You may feel a little ashamed and awkward dancing by yourself. After all, it's your first time. In fact, it's really charming if you watch from the sidelines."
"We will definitely come together next time we have a chance." Chi Jingyuan curled his lips and nodded in promise.
After chatting for a while, the two people over there finished styling and came together to share the gratifying achievements of the first day of return. Twenty minutes later, Li Chenghuan walked in, opened the door and said: "The styling is done." Bar?"
He glanced at it and knew without anyone answering, then he clapped his hands and shouted: "Okay, let's get ready. There will be a comeback interview in the waiting room in half an hour. The script is here. You can read it first. Suho and Chanyeol will go there later." Check the script with the MC.
"After the interview, it's our rehearsal."
"There are two stages today, "ineedu" will be broadcast live, and "overdose" will be set and pre-recorded. We will go when the background is set up and the venue management will notify us. Is it okay?"
"Guess." The members responded together, their voices cheerful. It was clear that everyone was in a good mood, and the results that exceeded expectations made them highly motivated.
"Take a quick look, don't make any mistakes later." Li Chenghuan handed several scripts to the members and sat aside.
The six members had stopped chatting, took over the script and started working seriously.
…………
"I couldn't help but be curious so here we are."
"What will EXO look like when they return to the stage soon? Let's see it..."
On the TV screen, two MCs, Jung Joon Young and Ahn Jae Hyun, held microphones and stopped to discuss expectantly at the door of a lounge with the label 'EXO-K'. After speaking, they knocked on the door, opened the armrest and locked the door. He pushed away and shouted: "Anihasay..."
"Anihasay..." There was a burst of cheers, and the six members of Team K who had been waiting for a long time stood up and applauded.
There are a lot of things placed around their lounge, such as bags and handbags, which look messy but very real. Cody and the assistant who were originally in the room have already gone out, and now they are standing at the VJ watching the interview with a smile behind her.
"Nice to meet you, please say hello to the audience."
The two MCs stood on the left and right sides of Team K, pointing at the camera.
"1,2,3weareone."
"Hello everyone, we are EXO-K." After making the iconic thumbs up sign, the six people neatly saluted towards the camera.
"Please have a seat, please have a seat."
They said they were asking for a seat, but in fact there were only three stools. The team leader, Kim Jun-myeon, and Ji Kyung-won and Oh Se-hun, the two youngest members, had no seats, so they could only stand in the back with a smile.
"I made my comeback with the song 'Overdose'. How do you feel now?" Jung Joon Young put the microphone in front of Kim Joon Myeon.
"First of all, I would like to thank the fans who have been waiting for me. I want to show you this stage as soon as possible."
Having reviewed the script before, Jin Junmyeon smiled and spoke without any lag.
"When it comes to EXO, it's all about performances. Especially this time there is a very special choreography that hits the face. The MV has just been released and has aroused heated discussions among fans."
Zheng Junying looked at Chi Jingyuan who was standing in the back row again: "Can Yuanxi perform for us once?"
"Oh oh oh..."
Under the cheers of the members, Chi Jingyuan walked up to the camera, pursed his lips, smiled, and with a swollen face, he quickly knocked "Dudududu" twice and then immediately retracted.
I don’t think it’s awkward on stage, but it’s quite awkward to perform alone when being interviewed in front of the camera.
But in fact, the effect was very good. He couldn't see the audience's reaction. Then several cody and female staff members standing behind the VJ stared at him with bright eyes. Even when they stood back to their original positions, their eyes remained fixed. Locked firmly.
"Wow, it's really beautiful..." Ahn Jae-hyun complimented him, looked at the script and said curiously: "To be honest, do any of the choreographers think they can do a better job than Yuan? It should be so You want to be a member, right?"
"This..." Several people looked at each other. Park Chanyeol blinked at the camera and said helplessly: "This really doesn't exist. We all like this choreography, so we all tried it during rehearsals. Really. It’s just that Yuan did it the best.”
"So it's recognized..." The camera focused on Chi Jingyuan who kept smiling for a second and then entered the stage of reading fan letters.
After selecting a few overseas fans to express their faith, this comeback interview has come to an end.
"m! "The program team really attaches great importance to XO's return this time. The length of this interview session alone is almost as long as a stage.
If there hadn't been this interview, it is estimated that a certain idol group from Hudian could have appeared on this issue of "m!c" to play a song in the free time.
"Today is Teachers' Day on the peninsula. We are here to thank Teacher Li Xiuman and all the teachers who have helped us..."
Finally, Jin Junmian took the microphone and thanked everyone, and everyone waved to the camera:
"Please look forward to XO's return to the stage tonight, Kang Sang Mida..."
…………
"Fall everything."
"Fall everything."
"Falling down one after another."
"Fall everything."
"…………"
The "ineedu" performance started with six members lying on the stage. As the prelude played, Chi Jingyuan stood up slowly with the support of Wu Shixun. After a low singing, the stage officially started.
net
The song "ineedu" has been very popular in the evening these days. After the leaked sound source and the uploading of the birthday party performance video for several consecutive promotions, the popularity of this ordinary song is only slightly lower than the title song.
Not to mention that the leaked stage model was not clearly visible, and the birthday party performance uploaded yesterday did not have a special camera and lighting background, so the effect was certainly not as good as a formal stage.
Today is the first time "ineedu" will appear on a regular stage.
"Ineedyougirl."
"You are so beautiful."
"Ineedyougirl."
"Too indifferent."
In the last chorus on the stage, Chi Kyung-won's slightly sharp singing voice combined with Do Kyung-soo's harmonies, coupled with the passionate accompaniment melody, ignited the enthusiasm of all the audience.
He stood in the center of the stage, lowering his head and grabbing his chest while singing. The other five members knelt on the ground in the shape of a five-pointed star and surrounded him tightly, stretching out their hands toward him as if to grasp. Catching it is like worshiping.
"Ahh..."
Silver sequins were floating down from the ceiling, and the dazzling lights made this choreography look so shocking. The audience below the stage, whether they were EXO fans or not, all became excited, and the screams that echoed through the sky were even faintly covered. of music.
And today I also participate in this issue of "m! c", other artists who have been paying attention to EXO and watching their live performance also felt that they were amazed by this stage. Apink, who had been watching TV in the lounge, opened their mouths, obviously immersed in it.
"Ineedyougirl."
After watching it, Wu Xiarong and Jin Nanzhu stood there. While singing, they lowered their heads and grabbed the clothes on their chests with their hands, imitating Chi Jingyuan's part just now, but there were no people kneeling around them, which seemed a bit lackluster.
"Luckily we're running away next week."
Zheng Endi looked at the TV with some pride: "If we bump into each other and fail to get it one by one, I won't let Chi Jingyuan be so proud."
"Unnie, we're not bad either, okay?"
"a ha ha ha……"
"ineedu" was a live performance, and after it ended, the screen switched to the "overdose" stage they had pre-recorded in the afternoon.
The six-member K team's version of "overdose" is very similar to the twelve-member version. The choreography is similar, but naturally there are a lot more part and C-position shots for each of the six people.
When the impressive Chi Jingyuan slapped his face, the audience cheered again. It felt like this choreography had become a signature move of this song.
"The last one is..."
"apink, thick camemida."
With Zheng Junying's loud announcement, as expected, one of the contestants in this issue was awarded apink's "". This is the second consecutive week that they have won "m!" c》 one of them.
They have won 7 first places so far this time, which is already a very good result. In addition to last year's "nonono", the response to their two comebacks has been very good. Their popularity and popularity are rising at a speed that is visible to the naked eye. They are already in the rankings. They have taken the leading position in the competition among girl groups of the same generation that debuted in the past two years.
Jung Eun said before that this is Apink's last week of singing, but it doesn't matter whether it is, because even if they continue to sing, next week they won't be able to beat EXO, who seems a bit unstoppable this time around.
It's good to retreat early, so as not to try hard to squeeze in a substitute, only to have your points doubled and fans being ridiculed and lost face.
"Congratulations." Chi Jingyuan and Zheng Eunji's acquaintances smiled and followed the members off the stage.
The initial stage of this comeback has been completed, and EXO-K will also be busy with various schedules.
It can be said that the first-day results of Mini II this time exceeded expectations, and the results at specific locations will depend on the trend in the next few days.
…………
"Someohedoctor, catch me quickly..."
The music of "Addiction" is constantly playing in the audio album store on the third floor of Myeongdong called 'Musickorea', and the sound echoes in every corner.
Kim Hee-jin, who came with her, accompanied Lee Min-eun to the album sales area. What caught her eye was EXO's second mini-album "overdose" that was most conspicuous on the shelf.
"Are you sure you want to buy XO's album? Infinite is coming back next week, why don't you compare it?" Jin Xizhen saw her friend heading straight to the XO album area as soon as he arrived, looking at the albums on the shelf and behind him with bright eyes. The poster on the wall hesitated and followed behind to persuade.
Both of them are freshmen, and they usually have a good relationship. They also like kpop and often discuss it together.
"What's the comparison between infinite and XO?" Li Min'en gave her a strange look, but she couldn't refute the words she got.
"..." Jin Xizhen opened his mouth, thought for a while and then asked: "Then Taeyang is going to make a solo comeback soon. Didn't you say you were a VIP before?"
"You said it was before."
"Bigbang is quite popular, and I also like GD... But just listen to the music and become a casual fan. It's really hard for people to follow him with his average looks."
Li Min'en didn't look back. She looked at the albums on the shelf and murmured to herself: "It's really frustrating that there is no separate cover. And if you can't open Yuan's photo card, it won't be in vain..."
"It's safer to buy a few..."
Jin Xizhen curled his lips. Seeing that his friend was really attracted by EXO, he was definitely a planet fan.
But this is also a normal thing. Among today's star-chasing groups of Peninsula students, EXO is really the trend among the trends. It was already extremely popular during the "Baoxiao" period, and the momentum of their comeback this time is even greater. It is obviously just a one-time The mini album is just back.
Just look at the amount of people stopping in front of the album shelf. At this time, there were seven or eight students who were preparing to buy majors around the two of them. Basically, they all came for EXO, and there were a few younger students. His eyes were shining as he looked at the poster on the wall with a look of obsession.
"I read online that the album "Overdose" has average configuration."
"I've seen it, it's the usual photo card + postcard + photobook + CD."
Li Min'en held up the album she took and looked at it, and at the same time answered very familiarly: "The configuration of the mini album is like this. Why do you ask for so much? More than 10,000 won is not expensive."
"And you get your money back when you open a Yuan card. Do you know how popular a Yuan card is now? The look of his comeback this time is really awesome, and the photo taken with the card is also very handsome."
"Sehun and Chanyeol's are pretty good, but they're still not as good as the maknae's."
After talking to each other in detail, I took the album and took my friend to pay, "Let's buy five copies first."
Most of them were people buying EXO albums. After scanning the code, the cashier gave a usual reminder to every customer who bought "overdose" and pointed to the poster area next to it: "XO's second mini album does not come with a separate Posters, you can pick them out if you like them.”
"Then let me go and take a look." After hearing this, Li Min'en pulled Jin Xizhen and walked over there.
"Whose poster do you want to buy?" Jin Xizhen asked, looking around.
"This is not nonsense, it must be Yuan."
Li Min'en walked straight over and started selecting: "Look at the stock, you can tell whose pictorial is the most popular at a glance.
"Fall everything."
"Fall everything."
At this time, the music in the album store played "ineedu". Hearing the intro, Jin Xizhen couldn't help humming along with it, and then sighed: "This song is really nice. I have been playing it on repeat since yesterday." All over.”
"The stage is even better. Did you watch yesterday's "m!c"?"
"I watched it. The choreographer at the end was really helpful. Yuan was so handsome when he was surrounded." Jin Xizhen nodded. She actually watched it and was very impressed by the stage.
"That was a 100% killing part. Didn't you get killed? You shouldn't have." Li Min'en looked back at her in surprise.
"It's a bit...but I just want to wait until infinite and the sun return to compare..."
"hehe."
Hearing his friend's hearty laughter and feeling the full connotation in it, Jin Xizhen also hesitated a little. After thinking about it for a moment:
"How about I buy one too?"
"Okay, remember to exchange the little card you drew Yuan with me."
"...I won't change."
"Then you should wait for your infinite..."
…………
"EXO's second mini-album sound source was released, and the melons of three songs broke the charts at the same time. The sound source trends of the three songs merged into a line, which is spectacular!
"
“No. 1-9 on the melon real-time rankings are occupied by EXO!”
""Overdose" has 780,000 pre-sales, the most for any mini album in history."
"With the EXO #overdose #MV released yesterday, it attracted the attention of countless fans. The XO members attracted everyone's attention with their gorgeous performances and outstanding video beauty."
"…………"
In the Infinite practice room of Woollim Entertainment, several members were watching the news and hot searches on the Internet today while they were resting. The air around them felt a little solid, and the atmosphere was not very good for a while.
They will return next week. In their fourth year of debut, they are in a relatively critical period. The response to their last single album "Destiny" was pretty good, and sales of more than 100,000 are considered very high for them.
And this time, it was finally restarted after a long period of difficulty. Everyone worked hard and carefully prepared the regular second album, hoping to continue the previous popularity and strive to go further.
At the beginning of the year, the company consulted various idol schedules through various internal information, and chose May 21st as the time for the group to return. This is an artist who has not been too popular before and after releasing songs, and the competition is not very high. A period of accumulation.
I just didn't expect that EXO, who was originally scheduled to return in mid-April, kept pushing back the return date for various reasons, and they just postponed the song release until May 15th, which happened to be a week before their Infinite.
Yes, I chose half a day to bump into EXO.
It's true that they are both in the same industry and are part of a male idol group, so they themselves can understand EXO's powerful suppressive power and terrifying sales that make people feel a little desperate.
Except for Big Bang, other boy groups' music sources are not good. EXO is better. Other boy groups idols compare their popularity and sales. They attract die-hard fans and go on tour to make money.
Others have sales of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, which is already considered a very good and powerful first-line boy group. At the top are Big Bang and SJ, which have sales of two to three hundred thousand. Such top-level teams have already competed with The distance between ordinary A-list male idols has doubled.
But this EXO started with pre-sales of hundreds of thousands, and frequently broke record sales of one million. This kind of numbers that they had never dared to think of appeared again and again for XO.
Who can withstand this?
Last year, during the hottest period of XO's "Baoxiao" period, there were dozens of boy bands either coming back or debuting in the second half of the year, but most of them didn't make any splash at all, except for a few. Except for a few individual groups, all of them lost their jobs right after they debuted.
Because at that time, the core fan group of boy bands, most of the tenth and twenty-generation women went to follow EXO and listen to "Pao Xiao". As a result, no one paid attention to the songs of other boy groups.
Afterwards there was a rumor in the circle:
'The boy group's return and encounter with EXO... means there is no return. '
It's definitely an exaggeration, but it's also the collective blood-and-tears complaint of those unattractive male idols after they returned to being amateurs.
Infinite is also considered a first-line boy band. Even if they come back with a regular second album, they won't be able to go silent. At least they have their own fixed fan base.
But every member wants it, and hitting XO will definitely affect the results this time.
Not to mention the momentum of XO's comeback this time, just a mini album is already so scary, with 780,000 pre-sales...
Assi...
"By the way, how many have we pre-sold now?" Jin Mingzhu broke the silence, raised his head and asked proactively.
It's just that he seemed to have asked the wrong question. As soon as he said the words, the surrounding area became a little quieter, and the sound of heavy breathing could be clearly heard in everyone's ears.
After a while, someone replied:
"Thirty or forty thousand... I didn't look carefully."
"..."
……………
After a day of fermentation, on May 16th they had occupied many website news and SNS pages.
24 hours after the XO comeback album was officially released, the statistical effect has reached 116,696, of which the Korean version has sold more than 70,000 copies, officially breaking the single-day album sales record previously held by Big Bang due to data delay.
If the previous pre-sales are included, the total sales of "Overdose" this time are close to 900,000 copies, which is only one step away from exceeding one million sales.
The sound source is even more interesting. In the real-time rankings of several charts, in addition to the original six songs of the Korean version taking the top six, Xia Wen's version of "Addicted" and three other songs were also ranked on the top. As Xia Wenge, Ranked in the top nine.
Although it will definitely not last long, this kind of speechless scene also truly proves that the explosive power of their music source is really too strong, and the fans are so awesome. This chart is so popular that people don't know what to say.
The Korean version of the official MV on YouTube was played more than 2.7 million times in one day, and the Chinese version was played 1.5 million times.
The number of hits of the title song is obviously not as good as that of the lead song "dope", and it is not outstanding compared to other results. This is also one of EXO's long-standing shortcomings.
However, this kind of speechless sales figures and explosive performance have caused extensive discussions on major music forums.
As for the popularity of idols, it is natural to be proud of being a fan. Fans of XO are also caught in an endless carnival at this time. All kinds of achievement posts, battle report posts and big-character posters appear on all forums related to Kpop, and can be found in any related discussions. Seeing similar messages, I felt so arrogant for a moment.
In addition to being excited, there are also many new fans who really like the songs on this album, as well as old fans who are relieved that XO has returned successfully.
"I declare that EXO is the top group of the new generation, and no one should have any dispute.
