After seeing this news, several fans who were excited just now, eagerly anticipating the return of their idols and hoping for continued success, were immediately stunned.
First, I was briefly surprised and stunned because a top-level idol like Chi Jingyuan would have such a big news about his solo debut in the near future. Then he reacted in the next second and carefully browsed the official announcement of SM Company. He immediately
He started to curse loudly.
"Is it wrong? Three groups of idols from the same company all returned within ten days? Even Yuan and NCT are only one day apart? What do SM think? Do they like their own people beating their own people so much? Or use it?
A senior’s solo comes to suppress his newcomers.”
"Isn't this kind of return schedule an obvious way to use our dream team as cannon fodder? Are you so worried that our NCT treasures will surpass you? Are we all from the same company like this?"
"I went to see Yuansolo's album configuration released in the official announcement, and then went back and looked at the one released at noon. After looking at the configuration of NCT Dream, I really laughed. The configuration of Ji Jingyuan's mini album is even more luxurious than the regular album.
There are four of them on the cover alone. The configuration of Dream Team, the mini one that all fans have been waiting for for so long, is really inferior to it. I know that you EXO are very popular, but you, SM, are not so biased, right? Royal Family is worthy of being
The royal family is really disgusting."
"It's over. Our idol seems to be coming back next month. I was just glad that there hasn't been a big trend recently. I didn't expect to see this in the next second... Axi, can you tell me in advance about Chi Jingyuan's solo?
But there’s still no way to avoid it!”
"The fans of red velvet said that we don't want to compete with the juniors, let alone the seniors. We just want everyone to return to Dafa, quietly take the five girls away and be safe."
"A passer-by fan asked me, why did I look at a lot of fans as soon as this news came out and sighed and thought I was cannon fodder, even though the song hasn't been released yet."
"Nonsense, that's Chi Jingyuan. When he sings a nursery rhyme, all the mentally retarded Allies can cry like idiots and shout about the artwork. Then they bring their own dry food and work around the clock to kill your real master."
The news of red velvet and NCT Dream's comeback, apart from making their own fans excited and looking forward to it, did not cause much waves in the industry, but in the end, Ji Kyung-won's solo debut was immediately different.
EXO has always been the ceiling of today's boy groups, and as the most popular TOP member of EXO and the first member to make a solo debut, the topic of Ji Kyung-won's solo debut has always been an explosive topic that makes people wonder.
Moreover, Chi Jingyuan's popularity is not limited to EXO or the idols themselves. His career as an actor, his pioneering luxury spokespersons, his topicality, his nationality, etc.
All kinds of factors combined, as soon as the news came out, in a very short period of time, it became the first trending topic without warning, and it instantly attracted the attention of countless fans and passers-by in the music industry.
Many fans of idols whose comeback time was close or even had a head-on collision immediately felt like they were in mourning. They made crazy complaints on the Internet about SM's lack of martial ethics and the use of nuclear weapons to suppress people without any warning. Then they quickly called on their idol's agency to change the date.
, don’t be cannon fodder.
You must know that idols put a lot of effort into each album and spend a lot of resources and sweat. For some idols who are hovering on the line of life, every album may be their last album. The losses caused by an invalid return are really
It's very big.
For a time, everyone worked together, and the fans were more anxious and angry than the agency.
However, there are also some anti-fans and passers-by who are not so optimistic, because they saw this online sensation once last year. Although it is much less popular, the process and rhetoric are basically the same.
...Last year when EXO's first sub-unit was about to debut, it seemed to be the same situation. Kpop was shattered in various ways, and various calls were made to change the comeback date.
But everyone knows what happened next...CBX was beaten head-on by Twice and lost all face, which made the fun-lovers and anti-fans look at it fiercely.
With CBX Zhuyu in front, it’s hard not to associate Chi Jingyuan’s solo debut with them. Many people left comments on the Internet to ridicule.
But now Ai Li, especially Chi Jingyuan's only fans, are too lazy to pay attention to those sunspots who will jump out and scream strangely every day, and dive and pretend to be dead when the wind goes against them. At this time, they are all immersed in waiting for their idol's solo.
In the excitement of debut.
"The wait is finally here! I heard the news last year, and Yuan Yuan himself said it live, but there was no news or materials for a long time. I thought there was something wrong."
"Ahhhhhhh I'm so excited! The best news I heard today is that Oppa is finally going solo! I have been waiting for too long."
"Fortunately, I hesitated for a long time last week and didn't buy that GUCCI handbag. Now I feel confident after seeing the news."
"Tsk tsk, it's just a teaser news and the popularity on the Internet has exploded... I have said before that EXO not going solo is the greatest kindness to Kpop... Unfortunately, the favor has ended now."
"On February 10th, Nan Yongyi shattered Kpop!"
Peninsula's Ari immediately fell into a carnival. Even though there was only one album configuration, debut date, song style, title song trailer, etc., it didn't stop them from celebrating Ji Jingyuan's title of male Yongyi...
But in fact, compared to the local fans of Airi in the peninsula, Yuanqi from overseas, especially from the mainland, is more excited.

"Oh, it's boring."
In Jiangcheng, Mainland China, seventeen-year-old Li Huiru was lying lazily on the sofa in the living room, listening to her parents and relatives chatting loudly. She was browsing the latest entertainment news on her mobile phone. After watching it for a while, she felt very boring.
She is a fan of EXO or Chi Jingyuan. She is a standard Kpop fan. She usually only pays attention to Kpop news. Except for some gossips and scandals about domestic entertainment, she finds everything else boring.
It happened to be the Spring Festival holiday recently, and after visiting relatives, I had nothing to do at home.
As she was casually scrolling through the news, the phone in her hand suddenly vibrated continuously. The banner page at the top of the phone popped up with group chat messages that she had set up as a special reminder. In a short period of time, it popped up more than a dozen times. The level of enthusiasm made her a little bit nervous.
I was stunned for a moment, then clicked in.
She was wondering what the other people in the group were talking about, and after glancing at the content, her pupils suddenly shrank in the next second.
“@everyone, Yuan’s solo has been announced!!!!!”
“@everyone, Yuan’s solo has been announced!!!!!”
"@Everyone, go and see."
"What's announced? Solo debut?"
"Where to look!"
"@everyone Yuan Bar has reposted it (with link) and you can go directly to it. SM has specially prepared a Chinese page."
"Ah ah ah, go check it out, Yuan's album configuration, I'm really crying."
After a few @everyone, the already active group friends and those who had dived before all jumped out. The group chat messages kept scrolling at an extremely fast speed. Just as I was about to see clearly what was being said, they were already scrolled up.
.
But Li Huiru already knows what makes these fellow Yuanqi fans excited.
What I have been waiting for for a long time, my idol Chi Jingyuan is about to make his solo debut!
"ah!"
After reacting, Li Huiru couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart, and couldn't help but scream excitedly. Before the mother next to her could scold her, she jumped up from the sofa and rushed directly into her room.
The room door is closed.
Oppa is going to go solo~ Oppa is going to go solo~
I kept reciting this sentence silently in my mind and lay down on the bed. I couldn't wait to click on the link posted in the group and directly entered the Weibo page.
This is the official account of Baidu Chi Jingyuan Bar on Weibo. The latest blog post is a reprint of SM’s announcement, confirming the news and time of Chi Jingyuan’s upcoming solo debut. The person who posted the post is obviously very excited, and there are still more to come.
Three rows of big red exclamation marks were added to show excitement.
This scarf has only been posted for less than three minutes, but there are already thousands of comments below, and they are still growing.
Li Huiru didn't have time to read the comments and directly clicked on the attached link.
This is an official SM company page. There are several cover patterns on it, which introduce the version and configuration of Chi Jingyuan's album. It is obviously translated into Chinese for the consideration of mainland fans, which is very considerate.
Li Huiru, on the other hand, immediately started browsing seriously, and was slightly stunned when she saw the album name at the top.
"In the Mood for Love"
It is divided into two major versions based on language, the Chinese version and the Korean version. The album titles of both versions are all called "In the Mood for Love".
Looking at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar thick black traditional Chinese characters printed on several album covers, Li Huiru trembled for some reason.
There is another eye-catching point about the large versions in two languages. The two different album versions, Korean and Chinese, each include a song that is limited to the version. SM also specifically noted a song that is limited to the Chinese version.
It is composed and composed by Chi Jingyuan himself.
In addition, the two language versions each have four covers, namely 'spring', 'summer', 'autumn' and 'winter', which to some extent also correspond to the name of the album, echoing youth with the changing seasons of the year.
Memories and passage of time.
According to the different seasons, the colors of the four covers are light green, gold, orange and white, which cleverly correspond to the characteristics of each season.
There is no photo of Chi Jingyuan on the cover image of the preview, but some simple backgrounds are drawn with black lines. Some are plants, some are trees, or wooden chairs, roads and the like. On top of the scenery, there are
Light gold lines outline the silhouette of Chi Jingyuan, and on the side is the album logo engraved in traditional Chinese characters.
The silhouettes of the four covers are all different, and Li Huiru was surprised to notice that if the composition of these lines were viewed together, they would exactly form the four letters 'Y U A N'.
A few simple lines reveal a full sense of design. This sense of delicacy and small easter eggs look much more fashionable and attractive than a few letters or a photo.
Even if it wasn't Chi Jingyuan's album, her eyes lit up when she saw the cover, and she would probably be interested, let alone if it was from her own idol... She already liked it after just one glance.
Then when she saw the cover configurations of different versions, she almost screamed.
Each cover of 'Spring', 'Summer', 'Autumn' and 'Winter' is more than just a different cover. In recent years, Chi Jingyuan has participated in popular songs or performed in concerts, including "YOU=I", "Rooftop"
Four songs including "Room" and "Answer" have all been re-recorded in the studio and included in four cover albums. Each cover album will have a unique and exclusive CD-only song. The other covers can be listened to
Not available.
Although it is said to have four covers, it is actually four versions of the album.
Then there are all the album configurations, photo albums, lyric books, CDs, stickers, photo cards, postcards, etc. that are required for Kpop albums. SM, which has always been very strict about artist album configurations, is surprisingly generous this time.
Almost everything has been taken into account and fully catered for.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The 6 songs included in it, 4 re-recorded only CDs and 2 language-limited songs are said to be mini albums, but Chi Jingyuan’s debut album actually adds up to a full collection
There are 12 songs in total, which are already more than most songs in regular albums.
In addition to the two languages, four covers, the cover design that is outstanding at first glance, and all kinds of extremely luxurious configurations...
It’s no wonder that after the album configuration was released, those fans of red velvet, especially NCT, were jealous and cursed after seeing it.
They work for the same company, but their treatment is completely different... Not to mention NCT, even CBX would probably be jealous after seeing it.
At the end of the webpage, the final price is marked in bold Chinese: 99R, and a big one: February 10th.
Li Huiru browsed carefully from beginning to end, especially the design of the four covers and the layout of the album. The more she looked at it, the more excited she became.
After waiting for a long time, there was finally news about her idol's solo, and she was particularly satisfied with it in every aspect, even a little bit weak. This configuration and version were completely beyond her expectations. It can be said that she was surprised and pleasantly surprised.
Especially when I saw that the Chinese version of the album had a limited Chinese song composed and composed by Chi Jingyuan himself, I couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in my heart, and a feeling that "my support has not been in vain", and I got the idol
The joy of giving back.
She also participated in the poll that was held in several fan gathering places such as Weibo and Yuan Bar, saying "I hope Yuan solo will have Chinese songs". Of course, I chose the hope.
But at that time, it was just a casual click. In fact, I didn’t have any hope in my heart. I didn’t even know if SM or Chi Jingyuan could see this vote.
And to be honest, when the mainland market is closed, they can also release a Chinese version of the album. The title song is also written in Chinese, which is very, very careful... In the entire Kpop, only EXO is still working hard when it comes back.
Make a Chinese version of the album.
Even EXO has some momentum that is about to give up, which was not the case last year when CBX debuted.
That’s not right either…and there’s Lin Yoona.
Therefore, Li Huiru and many fans who voted had no hope at all. Later, no new news came, so they gradually forgot about it and thought it was just a fun game, so they didn't take it to heart.
Unexpectedly, when the news of Chi Jingyuan's solo suddenly broke out this time, I saw what was not available at the time, but now is a new one...a limited Chinese song.
At this moment, she really felt like crying.
At this time, various chat banners were still popping up above her mobile phone, and all the fans in the group were in high spirits and discussing enthusiastically.
"Ah ah ah, there is actually a Chinese version of a Chinese song. Oppa really heard our voice and he was so happy!!"
"Isn't this configuration too strong? The four covers are more than any other major group, and I calculated that there are 12 songs in total. This is already beyond the configuration of a regular album. I can only say that Yuan is worthy of being Yuan, SM
After all, he has a clear mind and knows who is the real cash cow."
"To be honest, SM has gradually given up on the domestic market. Even CBX's debut album did not have a Chinese album. It is really not easy for Yuan's album to have a special Chinese version, and all the configurations are exactly the same as Korean.
, I kind of want to cry.”
"I heard that it was revealed that SM was originally unwilling to release the Chinese version. It was Oppa who strongly requested it and threatened to withdraw from the agency."
"A total of eight Chinese and Korean covers have been ordered, and we are waiting for February 10th... But what I am most looking forward to now is the Chinese-limited song. I really want to hear what kind of song Yuan arranges and writes the lyrics for himself."
After browsing the news in the group, she also joined in the fun to express her enthusiasm. Withstanding the enthusiasm and impulse in her heart, Li Huiru directly opened her online banking, looked at the balance accumulated in it, nodded with satisfaction and said to herself:
“I can finally spend it!”
After checking the balance, she logged into the StarChasing APP that she used every day... She not only accumulated this amount, but in addition to the money she saved, she also participated in many fan circle activities for a long time.
Chi Jingyuan's fans in the Mainland are very loyal and organized, and are very active with the support of several well-known big fans and wealthy fans. There are often activities in several communities where fans gather, and the APP.
And she has been actively participating. Recently, she has been insisting on a paid sign-in activity.
This activity is very simple, just check in on the APP every day... However, this check-in is not free, you need to pay 6R, and the money for these check-ins will be accumulated. After Chi Jingyuan's solo, the official will come forward, and all purchases will not be shipped back to the album.
This activity has started since last year when the news of Chi Jingyuan's solo first came out, and Li Huiru had already participated at that time.
She looked at the 301 consecutive days of sign-in displayed above and nodded proudly.
It's been almost a year, and the sign-in fee alone has been close to 2,000 yuan.
In addition, it was the Spring Festival two days ago, and I haven’t had time to spend the New Year’s money given by my family yet...
Li Huiru rubbed her chin, wondering how many versions of each should she buy to satisfy herself... But if Yuan goes solo, he will definitely have peripheral products or a photo album, so should he save some for buying.
By the way, there will definitely be meet-and-greets and book signings... Or, try this?
... EXO, which debuted as a Chinese and Korean boy band and has been active in the Mainland for several years, especially Chi Kyung-yuan, has a fan base and fan support in the Mainland that many other Kpop groups can hardly imagine.
And it should not be said that SM has chosen a very good time to debut. Many of Chi Jingyuan’s mainland fans are girls in their 10s and 20s, and these girls’ wallets are filled with the most money these days when giving out lucky money during the Chinese New Year.
When there is plenty.
…………
Soon, three days passed by in a flash, and a meeting was held in the conference room on the sixth floor of the SM Building with a lively atmosphere.
Chi Jingyuan sat in his seat, spinning his pen, looking at the record department not far away and asked:
