"I declare EXO to be the top group of the new generation. No one should have any objections."
"Be modest, I'm still a little short of TOP. There are shortcomings in the sound source and oil pipe, but I really have no rivals on the track."
"I really like the style of this comeback. It's a bit more mature than before. Everyone looks so handsome with heavy makeup. It's very to my liking."
“I’m a newbie, Yuan really slays, and I was instantly hooked after watching the stage of “I Need U”.”
"Let me give you a brief evaluation. This time the title song "Overdose" condenses the essence of the previous hits. It has the high-end and atmospheric singing voice of "Mama", the multiple drum rhythms and high and low singing methods of "History", and the electronic sound of "Wolf".
The dub and harmonious structure, as well as the background sound coverage and r&b of "Roar", are of very high quality among all the title songs of kpop boy groups. SM really paid attention to it this time."
"I think the title song this time is slightly worse than "Roar". The popularity of the melody and the toxicity of the chorus are much weaker. It can be imagined that the sound source of "Overdose" is definitely not as strong as "Roar". But this
The songs included in the first mini-2 are really good. "i need u" and "dope" are both high-quality songs. Even compared to the main songs, I prefer "i need u", but there is no MV for this song.
,what a shame."
"Me too, these songs are all composed by Yuan. Each song is more interesting to me than the last. Yuan is really my god!"
"Other songs included are also great, like "run" and "thunde" are very distinctive."
"Same as above, I also like "i need u" better than the main song "overdose". Although this song does not have a MV, when listening to it, I seem to see myself in the past, all the grievances I had at that time, and my youth.
"The Confusion of Youth" is really well-produced, not to mention the choreography, it's Yuan's choreography, as is "Dope", SM really recruited Yuan because of the smoke coming from the ancestral graves."
"I have been fanning
After thinking about it, let’s borrow some lyrics from “I Need U” to express it:
The sky is so blue and the sun is so bright that my tears can be seen so clearly.
Why do I fall in love with you? Why does it have to be you? Why can’t I leave you?
ps. I’m also a Yuan fan, so I really don’t have anything to say, the lyrics are written in my heart.”
"…………"
EXO's comeback has become a new trend within one day, and fans freely express their rich emotions.
The data on the first day was enough to make fans breathe a sigh of relief. The success of the second mini-album return continued the popularity of last year. It not only proved that XO was not a flash in the pan, but also allowed them to take another step to the next level.
Faced with such strong results, even the numerous anti-fans who had previously been unable to help but stop their activities at this time, dived strategically, looked for opportunities to fight again, and could not even utter sarcastic words.
Because when they said it, they felt it was quite sour when they smelled it.
Wait a few days, when your sound source is not strong enough, and we will jump out again.
Wait, then.
…………
After recording the stage of "Music Bank" on the 16th, XO didn't even take a break. The assistant bought food in advance and ate it in the nanny's car. They rushed to the Hyundai Department Store in Sinchon at eight o'clock.
A book signing will be held here.
EXO's fame has been fully established. Even a private autograph session where you need to buy a brand to draw a spot will attract a large number of passers-by and fans who don't have a spot to watch.
When we got off the nanny car, we were met with onlookers as usual, but the fans controlled their emotions and didn't get too excited. They took the initiative to make a way for them to enter, and kept shouting the names of their idols on both sides.
Waving to the side, Chi Jingyuan followed the members into the backstage of the autograph signing. After a brief preparation, the time was up.
EXO's autograph sessions have been held countless times, and the process is already familiar. I simply performed a show, chatted and then entered the autograph session.
When they first debuted, Chi Jingyuan hated activities like autograph sessions, because there were no people at all, which made them very embarrassed. Facing the few fans, they had to keep a business smile and couldn't have any dissatisfaction.
and frustrated.
But after he became popular, he enjoyed this kind of activities, mainly because he could get in touch with various fans and feel their support for him up close.
At each autograph session, the company will also reserve some seats in the front row for the members' fan sites and front-line station sisters to take photos of some on-site materials, and then post them on the website for promotion.
"Prince Yuan nim..."
A girl who looked young walked up to Chi Jingyuan, her face full of excitement but also a little nervous and timid. She opened her mouth softly and was calmed down by Chi Jingyuan.
At this moment, Chi Jingyuan was wearing a light gray and white hoodie, with Pikachu ears on his head that a fan just gave him. He looked cute and handsome.
It is no secret among fans that he likes neon animations such as Pokémon. During autograph sessions, he often encounters fans bringing him some small animation accessories. Chi Jingyuan usually does not refuse and will always give him face.
Wear it for a while.
"Aniha Saiyo...Prince?" Chi Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, then took the album from her and repeated it with a smile.
"Anihasay, I feel that this title is particularly suitable..." The female fan nodded, and then opened her mouth to say something, but she seemed to have forgotten what she had prepared before, and she burst into tears: "That, that, ah, I forgot
What am I going to say, woo woo..."
"Don't worry, what's your name?" Chi Jingyuan quickly wrote his name on the album with an oil-based pen, then raised his head and looked at the other person with a smile.
He often sees this kind of food. He thought about what he wanted to say for a long time before meeting the idol, but as soon as he met him, he was so excited that he forgot all about it.
Quite cute.
"Li Enxi... Oh, by the way, oppa, I went to cut my bangs in the afternoon so that I could look younger when I meet you."
"Eunxi, aren't you already a young man? How old are you?" Chi Jingyuan looked at the girl who looked like she was still a high school student.
"I'm seventeen years old."
"Mom, you are already so young, how can you be younger?" Chi Jingyuan grinned and looked at Li Enxi's carefully trimmed bangs: "Do you want to be ten years old?"
"I just want to be younger, after all, I have to be worthy of Oppa..."
Li Enxi looked like an obedient student, staring at Chi Jingyuan without blinking: "Oppa, I really like you, Naomu Naomu Salanghehe..."
"Me too."
Chi Jingyuan nodded and looked into her eyes. When facing his fans, he would never hesitate to say something that would make them happy.
"I've always wanted to come to the autograph book and meet Oppa. I got up early this morning..."
Li Enxi rambled for a while, then suddenly remembered something, and looked at Chi Jingyuan tentatively: "By the way, can Oppa do that with me?"
"What?"
“Sing a bar of ‘some’ with me?”
"But now it's the autograph session for "Overdose"..." Chi Jingyuan smacked his lips, then looked at the other person's eyes and burst into laughter, and nodded: "Which part do you want to sing?"
Li Enxi had obviously been prepared before. He blinked and hummed quickly: "Like lovers, but not lovers..."
"You are like a lover, you seem to only be looking at me..." Chi Jingyuan quickly picked up, echoed with a soft voice, and sang along with Li Enxi.
She didn't even sing a few lines before the other party was so excited that when she felt Chi Jingyuan's gaze, she covered her face with her hands and kept saying "Odduke Odduke".
"I'm really too nervous. My hands have been shaking just now. Ah, I don't want to leave..." Lying on the signing table, Li Enxi felt hot all over her body.
"Prince Jingyuan nim..." She suddenly raised her head and looked at Chi Jingyuan expectantly: "Can you call me Princess Enxi?"
Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips and looked at her, tilted his head and nodded: "Nim, Princess Enxi nim."
The dialogue was very middle-grade, but it made Li Enxi feel extremely satisfied. His thoughts seemed to be floating in the clouds, and he grinned very happily. Other fans who heard it couldn't help but vote in their direction.
Envy eyes.
"ah……"
It was time for Li Enxi to sign autographs. When he was about to leave, he looked at Chi Jingyuan, raised his fist and spoke in a soft but firm tone:
"oppa, I will always support you."
Chi Jingyuan nodded and smiled at her, then took the initiative and waved goodbye:
"Kangsangmita, goodbye, go back early."
…………
It was already past 11 o'clock when the book signing ended. Afterwards, they got in the car and rushed to MBC to record a radio program. It was not completed until two or three in the morning.
"Ah, I'm so exhausted..."
After getting into the nanny car, the six members were already a little exhausted. They leaned on the backs of their chairs and wished they could close their eyes and fall asleep.
Jin Junmyeon also sighed poetically:
"This is the return..."
"I'm a little hungry. Do you want a midnight snack?" Chi Jingyuan leaned for a while and suddenly felt empty in his stomach. He opened his eyes and turned around to ask.
"It's so late, don't you need to keep in shape?"
"I don't have a body that won't gain weight. As long as I don't eat every day, it doesn't matter." Chi Jingyuan shook off his bangs with some pride.
Because idols are so fat on camera, they are very strict about their body management. Their managers will often supervise them, and they will weigh themselves every once in a while to check whether they have gained weight during this period.
This is not only true for artists who have already debuted, but also for trainees. Body shape is also a type of appearance and is one of the core competitiveness of idols.
Chi Jingyuan himself is quite talkative and likes good food. This physique really benefited him a lot, especially when he saw some members unable to eat well and working hard at the gym to manage their figures.
It doesn't matter if he lifts weights, and he often goes to the gym to exercise to stay in shape, but if he can't eat, it will definitely kill him.
"I'm a little hungry too, what should I eat?" Wu Shixun also touched his stomach and raised his hand to indicate that he also wanted to participate.
"Grilled intestine? Pork belly? Or hamburger?"
"It's so late, let's be more modest."
"Then fish cakes? Or fried rice cakes?"
"There is nothing more plain..."
While they were discussing, they chatted with the TV crew for a while, which led to Li Chenghuan, the last one to arrive, to get into the passenger seat and turn around and shout loudly:
"Children, don't sleep yet."
The voice was loud, and several members who had closed their eyes quickly opened their eyes, shook their heads and looked at him.
"Today's schedule ends here. Get up early tomorrow morning and continue to come to MBC...tomorrow...it's past midnight, that's today. Today is the 17th. Jingyuan, you're going to perform at Yonsei University's anniversary performance, right?"
"Yes brother."
"Then you probably won't be able to make it back in time for the afternoon and evening activities, so we have to go to MBC early in the morning and record the stage of "Music Center" in advance. We don't have a five-person choreography this time."
Taking out his notepad and turning a page, Li Chenghuan continued:
"There is another radio station tonight. Jingyuan, your school anniversary is over. Remember to come back quickly... In addition to the song "Inkigayo" tomorrow, there will also be a recording of "Golden Fishing Ground: Radio Star" in the evening. I guess that day is
I'm going to be busy until late."
""Golden Fishing Ground"? Brother, is this show suitable for us? Isn't it a bit..." Jin Junmyeon hesitated after hearing the name of this variety show and asked aloud.
"Radio Star" is a radio-like talk show on MBC, with the theme of visible raido.
Because the host's speech in the show is very sharp and the questions he asks are relatively direct and a bit non-vegetarian. The guests are often asked some questions that are not convenient to answer directly, so the ratings are good and the topic is also very high.
.
It’s just that for many idols, some difficult questions are inappropriate.
"Because the focus is about to shift to concerts, the comeback period is not long and there is not much time for promotion, so I need to make up for it by doing some popular variety shows, and "Golden Fishing Ground" is quite suitable.
Yes, fans are definitely looking forward to XO’s appearance on this show.”
"Although they may ask some more explicit questions, they will discuss the script with us beforehand, and the company will also communicate with the program team. The other party also welcomes us
Well, don’t worry.”
Hearing the name "Golden Bath", Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but smacked his lips. He was very familiar with this variety show and had always liked watching it. His favorite was SNSD's "Love Era Special" last month.
At that time, the sisters heard all kinds of embarrassing and direct love inquiries on the screen, and the business smiles on their faces were so stiff that they couldn't keep it up. Chi Jingyuan laughed and was so happy that they couldn't do it XO
I’m going to be on this show too.
"There will be two autograph sessions on the 18th and 19th, and then..."
Lee Seung-hwan looked at the notepad and briefly introduced their itinerary in the past few days. When he heard it, people couldn't help but sigh like Kim Jun-myeon, "This is a return."
"Okay, let's go back and get some rest. We have to get up early tomorrow."
Li Chenghuan clapped his hands, comforted him and turned around.
"What about the late night snack?" Wu Shixun, who was in the back row, leaned his head over and asked in a low voice in Chi Jingyuan's ear.
Chi Jingyuan raised his eyebrows at him:
"Let's talk about it when we get back."
…………
Although they said they got up early, they were picked up by their manager early in the morning. From the moment they closed their eyes to now, Chi Jingyuan and the others had only slept for three hours.
In fact, he didn't need to be so early in the morning, but because he had something to do in the afternoon, he had to go to the recording stage early in the morning. Even if he couldn't sleep, he had to get up early together with others.
It's time to treat guests to dinner again.
After arriving at MBC, Cody, who was with the team, quickly finished styling and started recording. Today, even the stage of "I Need U" was recorded in advance. The K team of several singing programs that returned in the first week all performed two songs.
As for the other interview sessions, it didn't matter whether Chi Jingyuan was present or not. After the recording was completed, he said hello to the members and left in the car, heading to his school.
May is a very special month for Peninsula college students and worth looking forward to, because Peninsula universities have the habit of holding school celebrations. At this time, major universities will hold grand celebrations, which are colorful and very lively.
Of course, this does not mean that all schools were founded in May. Peninsula University’s general anniversary is not held on the founding day.
The school anniversary usually lasts for three days. The first two days are all activities between students. For example, each department sets up stalls and cooks on campus, holds a part to celebrate with drinking and singing in the evening, and the next day there is a small stage for various clubs.
There are new performances and some sports competitions like baseball and basketball are held.
The third day of the finale is more grand. Many schools will invite many popular artists, idols, and singers to perform live at the school. They will also invite more professional MCs to host it, just like a platter concert.
Yonsei University’s anniversary this year starts on the 15th, and today the 17th is the most important artist performance time.
Because college students themselves are fans of idols, and coupled with university-related factors, most artists are willing to perform at the school anniversary, and the performance fees are generally not very high.
And because many idols are graduates of the school, or even current students, they are also willing to come to the school to perform for their juniors. Such artists are usually widely welcomed.
Take Chi Jingyuan, for example. He was admitted to university in 2012, but took a year off because of his debut. Today he is already a second-year student. This news has been mentioned many times in variety shows before, and his fans also take it for granted.
I've shown it off countless times.
Many people in the school know that Chi Kyung-won goes to school in Yonsei, and it is on the Sinchon campus in Seoul. However, few people see him because of his charisma.
But after all, they are seniors or juniors in the same school. When they see Chi Jingyuan standing on the stage at night, many students at the school have some special feelings of intimacy in their hearts, and instinctively distinguish Chi Jingyuan from other performing idols.
.
Moreover, XO has been a trend recently, and its popularity and popularity are unmatched by other idols.
Because he was alone, he couldn't perform any of EXO's most popular songs and only sang two songs from previous albums. Even so, he still received the most support and cheers since the performance began.
Compared with middle and high school students, the proportion of college students who are star-chasing is much smaller, and they are also much more rational.
But it was impossible to tell at the moment, because many of the student audience when Chi Jingyuan came on stage became agitated, and screams came and went.
"Chi Jingyuan! Chi Jingyuan!"
"Chi Jingyuan! Chi Jingyuan!"
Unlike Fan, his classmates called him by his real name, not his stage name.
Especially some seniors, maybe because they feel that Chi Jingyuan is a classmate, they are closer to each other, and some people's fanaticism is not inferior to those of real fans.
After the standard bow and greeting, Chi Jingyuan walked off the stage amidst applause. He went backstage to say hello to the school staff, and then went to greet the teachers and professors in their department who had always cared for him.
Then we got into the nanny car and left school.
Many faculty members in the department are actually aware of Chi Jingyuan's special treatment. Although his grades are not good, they barely meet the standards. Moreover, Chi Jingyuan himself is very polite and his qualities are easy to make people like him.
Coupled with some hidden benefits, most faculty members have a very good impression of Chi Jingyuan, and no one makes irresponsible remarks on the surface.
He just had a phone call with Li Chenghuan. XO had just finished a trip and was now rushing to SBS. He asked Chi Jingyuan to go directly to meet him. There was a radio program to be broadcast later.
SM's schedule for EXO is very interesting. During the several comeback periods, they are obviously very popular and have many invitations to variety shows. However, in fact, the number of popular variety shows is not that many. Instead, they are radio programs one after another.
However, because the return period is shorter this time, more exposure and publicity are needed, and I don’t know if there will be any changes.
Sitting in the nanny car, Chi Jingyuan checked his phone and read the latest news.
The SBS monthly hit drama "Doctor Stranger", which was aired in early May, has entered its second week of broadcasting. The ratings have increased significantly to 12%, which is a huge increase among the dramas of the three major TV stations in the same time period during the same period.
leading advantage, and the audience reviews are also pretty good.
Speaking of which, Ji Kyung-won received the script at the end of last year. At that time, "The Heirs" had just finished. During that time, SM Company received countless film and television offers from Ji Kyung-won, except for Peninsula
In addition, Xia Kingdom sent a lot of them.
After the three consecutive hits of SBS dramas last year, there were no dramas that were too popular on the three major TV stations in May 2014. On the contrary, "Secret Meeting" broadcast by the cable TV station JTBC in March did very well and had high online ratings.
degree of discussion.
There is not much other news in the music industry. Apart from EXO's second mini-album, which has sold nearly 80,000 copies as of now, with total sales approaching the million mark, Infinite's regular second album "
Some publicity and material distribution for Season 2.
Then YG announced that Big Bang member Taeyang's second solo regular album "RISE" will be released on June 3rd. It will include a total of 9 songs and the title song will be "Eyes, Nose, Mouth."
The launch of a regular album shows that YG is very confident in Taeyang's solo this time. Among the members who had the best solo performance in Big Bang before, GD and Taeyang were the ones with the best results.
However, although June 3rd is only half a month away from now, EXO, whose singing period has been shortened, should have finished promoting their new songs by then and went to Xia Kingdom to hold a concert. There will be no impact if they don't bump into each other.
Maybe infinite, the two families are at odds with each other at this time, and they will definitely have to collide with each other when the time comes.
Other than that, there hasn't been any breaking news recently. Not long after the previous incident, the Peninsula entertainment industry is still in a state of recovery, far less lively and popular than it was at the beginning of the year.
At this time, we need some stimulating news. If some time passes, or if a popular member of a popular group reveals one or two relationships, it will probably immediately bring the popularity of the music industry back to its previous heyday.
, which can be considered as a contribution to the development of the entire industry.
As for Girls' Generation... Ji Kyung-won remembers that Taeyeon shouldn't be dating recently...
