After the show ended, the online forums, the official SNS message area of "Music Bank", and even SM's official account immediately fell into trouble, becoming a place for Ariel and Yuan fans to vent their anger and resentment.
In fact, at the beginning of the live broadcast, when the two new MCs Ji Kyung Won and Bae Zhu Hyun appeared holding hands for the first time, many fans of Yuan’s girlfriend and wife couldn’t bear it when they saw that scene. At that time, many fans had already appeared on the Internet. The offensive messages only burst out after the show ended.
"Ah, ah, I'm so angry. I'm really going to explode. Why doesn't this Irene die? Why is she standing next to Yuan with her face licked? She actually held hands, Asiba, what the hell is she? who is it?"
"Irene, the leader of the new girl group Red Velvet under SM Entertainment, born in 1991, is a Hucai."
"This Irene is an elderly person born in 1991. She is already the age of my aunt. She was not good at it when she first debuted, but she has improved a little now. Why can she partner with EXO? It is the worst choice. A new actress is fine too."
"Can't you see this? It must be idiot SM's usual method of nurturing the seniors to the juniors. I guess they saw that the parrot group's return performance was not as good as expected, and they wanted xo to bring some attention to them, so they asked the two of them to partner up m Irene’s popularity is brought to light. It’s obvious that the previous “Music Bank” host was not of this style. It must be SM or this aunt who took the initiative to drag our yuan to speculate on Loveline for the sake of blogging. It really makes me sick.”
"I remember that Aunt Pei was very miserably opposed by us, and now she has jumped out again. She is really not afraid of being scolded. Seeing her standing next to Oppa and smiling so happily, I am really angry to death... Does she have a personal SNS account? Go and destroy her first."
"The figure is so bad, flat in front and concave in the back, and ugly. Those nasolabial folds can really pinch someone to death. I'm still short, maybe 1.5 meters. I'm really worried that those high heels will pierce the stage. Or My aunt was born in 1991, how can someone like this still debut as an idol?"
The Allies are targeting Bae Joo-hyun as Ji Kyung-won's partner. Originally, he was just an ordinary cooperating MC, but this time, at the request of the program team, the MC's hosting style has changed a lot. The intimate and tacit interaction made the fans very angry. All kinds of obscene words and merciless curses were directed at Bae Zhuhyun. Looking at her attitude, she wanted to force her to quit the group Red Velvet before she would give up.
At the same time, for the sake of good memory and image, Ai Li immediately gave her many nicknames, such as dwarf, toad, etc., but the most commonly used nickname was aunt, which was full of irony for her age.
Exo's fan Aili certainly won't blame her own idol, because under normal circumstances everyone knows that whether to accept a regular MC or not mainly depends on the company's decision. In their opinion, Ji Kyung-won and Bae Zhuhyun can work together as MCs. It was a drama created by SM where the senior leads the junior. This kind of thing was actually quite common before, but this time it may be that the two of them stood there and looked too affectionate towards each other, which directly triggered the anger of the fans. Point, couldn't help but explode.
However, red velvet is no longer the transparent little girl who just debuted last year. After a successful comeback, they now have their own fan base. They also try to defend and argue for Irene online, such as:
"It's just a normal regular guest collaboration, and you're a senior in the same company. Do you want to scold me so harshly?"
"Do you think we want to see irene collaborate with that so-and-so Yuan?"
Even the fans of red velvet were not very happy after seeing it, but they actually thought that it was the seniors arranged by the company to take care of the younger generation, so they could not say anything to attack Chi Jingyuan, but tried their best to explain.
Unfortunately, Red Velvet's fan base and size are still too small. In this aspect, male fans are simply unable to compete with the huge and angry female fans. After a slight resistance, they were quickly crushed.
But amid the passionate attacks and mutual quarrels among fans, all the more objective comments such as:
"Actually, I think these two are really compatible. They seem to be a perfect match, and some of their interactions are also very touching. They are not annoying or offensive, which is really rare."
"The MC partner in "Music Bank" is really good-looking. He can be said to be the most eye-catching MC in history. It's very comfortable to watch."
"Normally I don't watch the MC sessions at all, but today I couldn't help but keep watching. Is there anyone like me?"
Positive comments about the program were also covered up, and some of them were also messages sent by Ellie, but unfortunately they were ignored by their stunned colleagues.
EXO fans have opened up a new battlefield besides facing their archenemy .p. The target of their attack is their idol's partner, the junior girl group member of the same company, which has brought a lot of discussion and amazing popularity to passers-by. , even the discussion of the new MC of "Music Bank" and the attack on Bae Zhuhyun overshadowed the views and evaluations of EXO's return to the first stage today.
The popularity is there, but the focus is off.
It can only be said that it is a blessing in disguise.
An ordinary singing show without any major mistakes or arguments, but it increased the ratings so much during the live broadcast, and there was such a high level of discussion after the end, I can only say that the program "Music Bank" The team selection is really good. The two people, Chi Jingyuan and Bae Zhuhyun, have obvious partnership effect and the selection is very successful.
…
"Irene, the company expected that your collaboration with Yuan would arouse a lot of discussion and enthusiasm, but we didn't expect that EXO fans would be so fierce... But the company will deal with it. You'd better not watch it during this period. Comments from the outside world.”
"After some time, the popularity subsides, and the public and fans will become more accepting of your MC pairing. It will probably be much better."
Outside the practice room of Red Velvet, manager Quan Huiying called Bae Zhuhyun to the corridor and comforted him and the female team leader in a calm tone.
As a manager, she is not worried about how noisy the online fans are. After all, SM understands that black and red are also red, and they are already familiar with this kind of hype. Every group will know it before it becomes popular. I've been here a few times, and even if the fans are peaceful and don't do anything, SM will find a way to get you to scold each other. Even if you don't scold others, it's okay to scold their own company.
I'm not afraid of being scolded, I'm just afraid that you won't pay attention.
After specifically reading the comments, Quan Huiying couldn't help but frown. The crazy fans of EXO and Ji Jingyuan's girlfriend on the Internet just scolded Bae Zhuhyun.
This group of little girls didn’t know where to find so many words to criticize black people. They carried out brutal and inhumane attacks on all aspects from appearance to body to age to strength. There were also many scandalous revelations surrounding Bae Joo Hyun’s debut experience and fabricated rumors. , even Quan Huiying, who has been in the entertainment industry for a long time, can't help but feel that she can't stand it.
In addition, there are many disgusting methods, including specially photoshopping various ugly pictures and distributing them on various forums, directly breaking into the other party's fan gathering place to kill the board, calling for ire under the SM company account, and even Some people directly went to Qingtai to launch a petition and wanted Bae Zhuhyun to be executed directly.
The last person who initiated the petition, Ai Li, is probably not very old...
It can only be said that Aili has been rampant in the peninsula fandom in the past two years. She has been torn apart and has no opponent. She has been beaten by the previously arrogant .p and can only barely resist. Their fighting power is really well-deserved.
And women know better how to scold women. Some words are really harsh and unpleasant.
Even Quan Huiying, who was not herself, was slightly angry after seeing it, not to mention the real leader Bae Zhuhyun. She looked at her captain who was serious and silent with a little worry, and finally asked tentatively: "Or else it will be the same as before, Leave your phone with me first, wait..."
"It's okay Unnie."
Suddenly a voice interrupted her. There had been silence for a while. Pei Zhuxuan, who was listening attentively, raised his head and looked at the manager with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I was scolded last year. That time The level is no weaker than it is now, I’m actually used to it.”
Hearing these words, Quan Huiying couldn't help but froze for a moment. She looked at her captain carefully. Her fair face seemed a little tired, and the smile she squeezed out contained a touch of bitterness and a little optimism. He looked a little reluctant, but his dark eyes were filled with persistence and perseverance, as if he was really unaffected.
"Okay, just remember not to read those messages. Don't worry, the company will definitely handle it. Your new album is already being prepared. Remember to talk to the members when you go back..." Quan Huiying nodded and said nothing. After being so entangled, he talked about coming to De Beibei for his new album, and then asked Bae Zhuhyun to go back first.
She watched the petite Pei Zhuxuan in flat shoes open the door of the practice room, and her back disappeared from her sight, but she sighed in her heart.
Who is used to being scolded? It is always sad to be attacked and insulted.
"Unnie, Huiying, what did Unnie say?"
As soon as Bae Zhuhyun walked into the practice room, Jiang Seulqi, who had been talking to Son Seungwan before, immediately looked at her worriedly, and several other members couldn't help but cast corresponding glances.
Of course, they also saw the commotion on the Internet after today's singing session. Although they had expected that such a situation might occur, they did not expect it to be so intense.
It turns out that when EXO first came out last year, fans just followed the trend and complained a few times, and were not really too angry. Only now their fighting power has really been shown.
It's just that in the beginning, there were five people who could share the burden and comfort each other when being sprayed together, but now it's only Bae Zhuhyun. I don't know how the usually reserved Ernie felt after seeing it.
"It's okay..."
Facing the questions from her sisters, Pei Zhuxuan smiled casually. The smile was far less forced than when she was in front of the manager outside. She naturally returned to her previous seat and sat down, waving her hand gently: "Huiying Ernie just told me something about our new album, and we will start preparations soon."
"jinjia?"
"when?"
Pei Zhuhyun seemed to know her members very well. Sure enough, as soon as she mentioned this question, she immediately attracted everyone's attention. The two younger ones next to her couldn't help but screamed and asked. No one was asking what they had just said. and online things.
This time "ice cream cake" swept away the decline of their previous debut and made Lai De Beibei gain a lot of popularity. It is considered a small break out of the circle. Naturally, they want to strike while the iron is hot and look forward to their next return. At the same time, this also represents The company's emphasis and expectations on them.
"I heard this is a regular album..."
"Wow, really."
"Then I'm really tired. When will Ernie be sure?"
The practice room immediately became noisy, and several people discussed their next comeback. Bae Zhuhyun smiled and told several members about the news she knew, as if she had really talked about these things with her manager before.
Midway through, she glanced at Jiang Seulqi, who had an obviously concerned look on her face and was hesitant to speak. Bae Zhuhyun winked at her and smiled, and then continued to discuss the new album comeback with the members. matter.
Only at the end, she briefly withdrew from the discussion of the members, listened to their voices quietly, sat on the edge of the practice room and leaned against the wall, her legs crossed together, looking at the dark screen of the mobile phone in her hand. Stunned.
…
The effect of EXO's first stage seemed to be covered up by the fans' fierce rivalry, but the show also had a relaxing effect. At least after the show ended, there was a clear increase in G Chart sales in the evening. Although it was not much, at least it was Saw the effect.
By the next day, May 2, the first-day competition between EXO and BigBang had already produced a short-term result. In terms of music sources, fans of BigBang’s two songs "Loser" and "Baebae" stopped charting, and passers-by and listeners poured in. In this case, it has basically occupied the top two spots in the major music source rankings.
In particular, the title song "Loser" is of extraordinary quality and has withstood the huge attention and enthusiasm of the public. It seems to be very popular with the audience. While firmly occupying the top spot, the listening rate remains high, breaking the charts several times in a row. .
The two songs of EXO only occupied the third and fourth positions behind them. Interestingly, the positions of the third and fourth songs were exchanged this morning. The non-main song "Orientation Sniper" surpassed "lht" to become ranked third, while The number of people has gradually widened the distance from the previous three songs, and there is a tendency to fall behind.
Dance music does suffer a bit in terms of sound source, and the quality of "lht" is far from as high as that of dance music like "Paowiao Xiao". It is already very good to have such an explosion.
Fortunately, "Orientation Sniper" is liked by many people. They follow closely behind Big Bang without any intention of being left behind. At the same time, they also test it out from time to time to see if they can get to the second position.
Coupled with "Spring", which was ranked fifth, the top five on Melon's daily chart are completely occupied by two boy groups. This strange scene caused a lot of discussion in the music industry and fans.
In terms of sales, there is nothing to compare with. Not to mention the pre-sale results that were nearly ten times crushed. Within 24 hours after the official release, EXO's first-day sales easily reached 50,000 copies. As for BigBang, in the fan club Due to various relocations and crazy appeals from Zhong.p, only 19,298 copies were sold as of midnight, and in the end, they did not reach the first-day sales of 20,000.
People with experience know very well that the first day of sales is usually the highest sales volume during the entire comeback period. If there is no special stimulation in the future, such as a great singing stage, some direct-to-video hits, or BigBang members sacrificing themselves for others. If you do good deeds and are praised by the media, your sales will not increase significantly.
Normally, the approximate sales volume of their first single "m" can be estimated. In addition, the final pre-sale target should be around 100,000 copies, maybe a little more.
It’s just that by the second day, .p no longer took the initiative to compare sales volume to humiliate himself. Even when he was blowing rainbow farts, he would just say "big sales" and just brush it off or encourage him. The data is very nice with digital sales.
Fans of both BIGBANG and EXO are very satisfied with their results. They have posted big-character posters in fan clubs and on the Internet to spread the word. Media from all walks of life have either received promotion fees or want to take advantage of the popularity.
"Sohu Korean Entertainment News Bigbang's new song "Loser", which was released at 0:00 on May 1st, remains at No. 1 on the charts of major music sources such as Melon, Bugs, Monkey 3, and Naver Music. "Bae Bae" is also following closely behind. Ranked 2nd, it makes people feel the terrifying power of "music powerhouse" Big Bang."
"k-Information Station: EXO's comeback has become a trend with extraordinary popularity. Their music has topped many charts, and pre-sales have once again exceeded 500,000 copies, demonstrating the top boy group's style."
"Naver: Bigbang and EXO started a boy band war in May. Each other has obvious advantages in their respective fields. The competition between you and me is extremely fierce. It has brought huge attention to the entire music industry and promoted the entire album and music market. , injected fresh blood into kpop and made a great contribution to the spread of kpop."
…
"The news is all about Big Bang and EXO, it's so popular."
"really."
"It's just that I feel that looking at the current situation, EXO obviously has some advantages. Although the sound source cannot be beaten, it is not far behind. The sales volume has been crushed several times, and the popularity is not yet familiar. The seniors are a bit dangerous this time, ha ha ha. "
In the practice room of YG's company building, four or five female trainees were getting together during the break. They didn't care about their clothes that were soaked with sweat after practicing hard just now. They were discussing the hottest topic in the music industry lively. Jin Zhini also I don't know what I was thinking of, but I said the last sentence in a worried and gloating tone, and even laughed after I said it.
Several people next to her glanced at her and said nothing, especially Lisa and Park Caiying. As foreign or dual-citizen trainees, they need to be very careful about their words and deeds for fear of being caught doing something wrong and causing misunderstandings. , completely unlike Jin Zhini who can be so careless and even a little unscrupulous due to various factors.
Although she is very polite and well-behaved in front of her seniors.
"Oh, by the way, which song of these two groups do you like better?" After watching the news for a while, Jin Zhini suddenly became interested and raised her head and asked.
"Of course it's a song by Big Bang's seniors. I like "Loser" better. It's really nice." Lisa thought about her words before speaking. After making sure they were correct, she glanced around and smiled before speaking.
"Me too, I prefer "Loser"." Seeing someone speaking first, Park Caiying nodded in agreement.
"I like the rhythm of "Baebae" is great, and the music video is also very good." Zhao Meiyan on the side also became interested and quickly responded, and then told her feelings after watching the song.
The four of them, plus the silent Kim Ji-soo, are now the members of the YG girl group project Pinkpunk. This project has been selected for a few years, and now there are only five of them left.
"Oh, it's so boring. Why do you..."
Seeing these three people supporting her seniors wholeheartedly, Jin Zhini felt a little bored, and then looked at Jin Jixiu next to her: "Where are you Jixiu?"
She seemed to be thinking about something just now and didn't pay attention. Jin Zhixiu, who was suddenly cueed, was shaken violently. She glanced at the surrounding situation with some confusion, then came back to her senses, her eyes were clear as if they were electrified, and she quickly nodded in agreement: " Me? I also like "Loser"."
These losers looked at each other, as if they understood what the other party was thinking, and laughed together in tacit understanding.
"cut."
I felt that these people were a little boring, but because Big Bang was a senior member of their own company and needed to avoid suspicion, I didn’t dare to say that I liked EXO’s songs. Jin Zhini glanced at them and curled her lips speechlessly: “I just like EXO’s “Orientation Sniper” , especially for my style, and Chi Jingyuan is so handsome..."
But unlike others, Jin Zhini is real.
"Oh, that's right." When she said this, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and her eyes lit up: "In a few days, should we ask the room director for a few places, and go and watch the singing and singing performances of these two boy groups? Competition.”
"Huh?" Her words immediately attracted the attention of several girls next to her. After all, she is the most popular singer in the music industry today. No one would refuse to join in the fun and watch it, not to mention that the target is a boy band - this kind of girl An object of great interest to trainees.
"I looked at the dates. Both groups should be able to be candidates next week. For "Shoion" on Wednesday, I don't know if EXO will go, but Big Bang will definitely not go. It would be quite boring if there is only one group. , it would be interesting to compete for the first place on the same stage together... It should be No. 7's "m!". This should be the first time since the return of two boy groups to sing on the same stage and compete for the first place. Hey, hey, it must be super interesting."
Jin Zhini looked at the calendar and made plans. She smiled like a little fox as she looked at the calendar and thought of happy things. She showed her two front teeth and looked very expectant. Finally, she raised her head and looked at her friend:
"Are you going?"
