Chi Jingyuan's personal variety show only lasted about thirty minutes. Soon, the video that attracted far more attention than ordinary idols' personal variety shows ended.
However, the reviews of this much-watched variety show are not all positive. Some passers-by who did not watch idols' personal variety shows before and came here because of Chi Jingyuan's name are a little disappointed.
It’s not that it’s boring… but the expectations were too high, and despite its great reputation, it didn’t come as too much of a surprise.
"Passers by, why do you think it looks a bit ordinary? There's nothing exciting about it. It's just that the meeting in the front is more novel."
"Also, Yuan's personal appearance at the end is interesting. People say he doesn't have much variety show sense, but I think his words are quite interesting."
"But I should not say it, but Yuan's status in SM is really high. You can see in the meeting in front of him, as soon as he started talking, the other people's movements immediately stopped. Wow, an idol can do this.
It’s really awesome.”
However, there are also many people, especially fans, who are very happy to watch:
"Oppa is really handsome, and he deserves the title of Producer Chi."
"Isn't this what personal variety shows are all like? And wouldn't it be interesting to be able to show you the behind-the-scenes production process? This is no more real and interesting than those boy bands pretending to be crazy and making fun of them in group variety shows. At the same time, this also proves that this
This solo album was really done by Yuan single-handedly, and it’s not like those black-tongued people who ‘fixed a name’.”
"Although the title song describes a failed relationship, it is a song that makes people want to fall in love. Wow, the suspense Yuan said at the end really hit me. It's so satisfying to my taste. I really want to fall in love right away.
Hear the source of the sound."
"It was very interesting to watch the whole time, but at the last point, I suddenly felt something in my heart, and I suddenly got the inspiration to write a song. This one is more sudden. I'm worried that Yuan is in love, right?"
"How is it possible? Everyone said that this is a song about failure in love. Under Yuan's conditions, he will fail in love? Why does song creation have to be connected with real experience? "Cheer Up" was also written by Yuan.
Could it be that he actually got the inspiration by shouting 'cheer up baby!' to people? Can you please stop making random associations?"
After the first episode of the personal variety show was broadcast, the comment area started to flood the screen instantly. There were good and general comments, some liked it and found it interesting, and some found it boring.
However, the popularity is obviously getting higher and higher. Just two hours after it was broadcast, the number of views exceeded three million... This is terrifying for a thirty-minute personal variety show.
And as time goes by, the number of clicks increases rather than decreases, because some people praise and others criticize, the popularity and discussion are getting higher and higher, so that these days, the forums on Peninsula are all discussing Chi Jingyuan’s solo
Things like debut, variety show, and title song.
There are all kinds of topics, like 'Is this first variety show not worthy of its name?' 'What is Ji Kyung Won's status in SM?' 'Is the inspiration for the title song due to a breakup in love?' 'Don't say Kenzie is pretty good looking.'
How much money did Yuan make for Lee Soo Man and he wants to lick it like this?
I even felt that his face had changed a bit. Did Yuan have plastic surgery? I heard that pre-sales were very high. I started a post to predict how much Yuan's solo can sell this time. Predict whether the sales volume will be large. Will CBX be jealous of him? I
It’s Byun Baekhyun I threw up’ and other eye-catching topics.
No matter what the topic is, as long as it revolves around Chi Jingyuan, there will always be a bunch of people discussing it with great interest, some serious and some not.
It's fire anyway.
But the idol groups that released songs and returned at the same time were in a miserable situation. Apart from their own fans, there was almost no discussion.
Some fans who have returned to idols want to talk about their idols' return this time on the Internet, talk about their new songs, new variety shows, and even the recent Da Ge stage, special ending poses and other special posts, but the result is simply
No one cares about it. Even if someone replies below, they are all straightforward and mean words that make people feel uncomfortable after reading them:
'We are all chatting about Yuan now, and we will have fun watching whether our grades are good or bad. Who has the time to pay attention to you XXX?'
‘Can you please stop fighting for the page? I don’t even wink at all’
‘Nobody care’
These fans, who have been working hard for a long time for their idols to gain more exposure and popularity, only feel trembling and angry, but they are powerless. In the end, they can only complain that the agency is sick and insists on choosing this time to let their idols return.
After the first episode of the variety show was broadcast, with the commotion on the Internet, and some concept photos and photos released by SM again, the effect of publicity and hype was very obvious. The original three-day pre-sale of 1.5 million has already made
SM was amazed, and after that, the pre-sale orders received by the company continued to grow day by day.
On February 4, it reached 1.7 million.
On February 5, it reached 1.87 million.
On February 6, it reached 1.99 million.
It is growing at a rate of hundreds of thousands or two hundred thousand almost every day, and the pre-sale orders placed almost every day are a number that other idol groups may not be able to sell for an entire comeback period...or even an entire idol career.
This growth rate even made some SM employees a little uneasy... Even though it was expected that Chi Jingyuan's solo would sell well, the fact that the market is so hot is really unexpected, and I felt uneasy about whether there was something wrong.
question,
Because the current peninsula market is so big, no one in Kpop history has been able to sell so many pre-sales. Chi Jingyuan is the first one to be able to sell this number.
What's more important is that it's only pre-sale at the moment, and the songs have already been sold so much before they've been heard, even surpassing the data of EXO.
However, as the pre-sales increased day by day, as the investigation revealed the hot potential of the market, and after checking the source of orders and finding that more and more orders came from the mainland and overseas, some SM elites felt relieved and happy.
Enjoy the psychological enjoyment brought by the daily surge in numbers.
In addition to faintly surpassing mainland mainland sales in the peninsula, Neon's sales have actually increased a lot in the past few days. After investigation by SM's marketing department employees, they found that Neon fans are now making such a popular statement.
:
‘…The reason why there is a Chinese and Korean version but not a Japanese version must be that our support for Chi Jun is not enough.’
EXO and Chi Jingyuan have not gone to neon events and can't support them, so what should they do if they don't have enough support?
After buying it, Neon's sales increased by tens of thousands within a few days, and even some previously released peripherals and photo albums sold a lot more.
The employees at SM looked at each other in confusion, and at the same time sighed inwardly at the horror of Chi Kyung-won, a member of the disconnected boy band EXO.
With such heated discussions and expectations, February 7th arrived in the blink of an eye.
Three days before the official release, like other idols, SM also released the trailer video of the title song "Love Senario" on its official YouTube account as usual.
