"Of course I watched it! Both songs are so cool, I watched them dozens of times! The electronic rhythm of "LOTTO" is so cool, and "Blood, Sweat and Tears", ahhh..."
Two high school-looking female students were walking side by side on the way to school with their schoolbags on their backs. They seemed to have slept very late last night, their eyes were bleary and they were not in good spirits. They were chatting while walking without having a date.
However, after one of them brought up a certain topic, the passion of both of them was instantly ignited. One of the girls immediately lost her composure and talked wantonly about how amazing she felt when she saw the MV yesterday. She couldn't help but hold her hands while talking.
Face screamed.
Faced with the excited expressions and screams of her companions, the girl who asked the question was very understanding and continued to ask with sparkling eyes:
"Isn't it completely handsome and sexy?"
"Yeah, I really went crazy when I saw it yesterday. When I saw the trailer, I thought it was going to be more luxurious and high-end. I didn't expect it to be a sexy style, and the song is so good. It's really sexy!"
"... Me too, I'm totally surprised! The melody is so brainwashing, and the MV is so well shot... Which member do you think looks the best this time?"
"I think they are all quite handsome. The makeup this time, especially the aristocratic and luxurious style suits, are very good... But if I must say, Baekhyun and Yuan stand out more. Baekhyun's opening sentence is so direct
It made me tremble when I heard it, and he digested this style very well...
And Yuan’s look this time, with black hair and a black suit, is so handsome. His eyes and expressions in a few parts are so weird!! His style of appearance and personality are so sexy that people can’t stand it.
…”
"Is it the close-up of covering your face?"
"Ah, yes, yes! It's that shot, that look in the eyes and the smile, and you're covering your face! It's so lustful and seductive. I was stunned when I saw it yesterday. I, ah..."
The unexperienced high school girl seems to be unable to resist the charm exuded after the transformation of TOP idols. Just recalling it makes her blood red, and she is at a loss. She can only express her excitement by screaming.
This transformation of EXO really surprised fans. After seeing the teaser photos, many people were still discussing whether they would take a more high-end route to shatter Kpop. Unexpectedly, after the song was released, they immediately started to adopt a sexy style.
…
Obviously, trying this style for the first time gave fans a strong sense of freshness. In terms of impact and novelty, EXO's style choice has been successful.
As for the specific evaluation, how far the results can go depends on the subsequent progress... But judging from the reactions of these two girl fans, they should be quite optimistic.
The two girls walked together towards the school. Ever since they mentioned EXO's new song, they started chatting non-stop.
First, he expressed his surprise and satisfaction with the Obamas' MV, and then started chatting along this topic, from the concept and metaphor of the MV to the members' styling and part allocation. After lamenting Kai's absence this time,
They also focused on Chi Jingyuan, who shocked them the most, and discussed it with lust and admiration. The choreographer of Oppa's "Blood, Sweat, and Tears" is really beautiful. I wonder if there is anything underneath that black suit.
Those coveted abdominal muscles, what would it feel like if you touched them...
After a period of low-pitched discussions with suppressed excitement, there was a mechanical laughter, until finally it ended with an excited and restless scream.
"... Several new songs from the reissued album are very good. "Blood, Sweat and Tears" ranked first, "LOTTO" ranked second, and "Monster" from the previous three albums has been re-entered the inner ring. The MV was clicked in less than two hours.
The volume has exceeded 10 million... It’s no wonder that I couldn’t sleep well after browsing for several hours yesterday.”
Entering the school, the expressions of the two people calmed down a little, and the discussion volume became a little quieter.
"Are you still number one now?"
"Yes, I just watched it before I went out... As long as the Obamas release songs, the daily charts in the past few days should be stable, but the whistle sound source of YG's new girl group is really good, I don't know if it can beat it
they.
But I heard that their fans are worried now. Their debut song is so popular. It’s amazing to be a substitute just after debuting. But originally, they were a bit unable to beat IOI. Now the Obamas are back for next week’s show.
There is even less hope for the position. Yesterday, before the Oppas released their songs, their fans started to brush YouTube and music data, hoping to get one by one before the Oppas released their songs..."
""Whistle" is really nice. Compared to IOI's new song, I actually prefer Blackpink... I definitely have no hope next week. If I can get one this week, a new group can get it just half a month after their debut.
You are truly worthy of being a new monster monster..."
"That's right, the newcomer won the title of Music Weekly, tsk tsk... By the way, did you read what was said in the fan club yesterday? VIXX's concept this time seems to collide with our concept of "Blood, Sweat and Tears", and there are several scenes,
It’s the scenes of people drinking and toasting around the table that are particularly similar. Some of their fans are still saying that we plagiarized... A lot of Ellie are very angry and are ready to teach them a lesson."
The girl who was about to enter the classroom turned around and curled her lips disdainfully after hearing this: "I saw it too... Sexy style has been used by countless boy groups. How could they have copied it? If you don't tell me, I won't know they are coming back."
Already..."
"And they are shouting so happily. The two groups are not on the same track now. Don't bring different levels together to discuss... Let's fight NCT127 first, and let the fire trucks of the junior brothers put down the fire for them!"
…………
"The prelude hit me instantly. You may not believe it when I tell you. I didn't have any feelings for Yuan before, until I saw the part covering my eyes. It only took me one second to think of the names of the two children."
"Xiumin, the eldest, is almost 28 years old, and Yuan, the youngest, is already 23 years old. It's time to try this sexy style a long time ago. Ernie is very satisfied with the songs in the reissued album and has already placed another order.
Ten albums ago, my suggestion is that it’s best to stick to a similar style next time, and continue to wear a suit outside, but you don’t need to wear a shirt underneath..."
"I like the darkness of "Monster" very much, but I like the sexiness of "Blood, Sweat and Tears" even more this time. The choreography and costumes are great. Can I just say that it deserves to be the TOP? Both albums are double hits.
Are all the songs of such high quality?”
"Baekhyun is such an extremely refined temptress, and Yuan, who is usually very sunny, can't stand the contrast in how sexy he is. This song was simply made for these two!"
"Doesn't anyone like "LOTTO"? I think this kind of lazy and sexy hip-hop is also very exciting. After watching the MV, I feel like I have become a rich man!"
At this time, EXO had just finished lunch and were preparing to go to SM COEX to pre-record the "Inkigayo" stage the day after tomorrow. They were sitting in the nanny car heading to their destination.
Because the pre-recorded stage scenery is more complicated, they did not record the first stage during the song performance. Instead, they set up the background for recording in advance. The fans who entered the venue had already been selected through the Internet.
Chi Jingyuan was sitting in the back row, sliding his fingers on the screen and quickly browsing the comments on the forum from fans and netizens about several songs from EXO's reissued album after a night of fermentation.
He was actually not too sure about trying sexy style for the first time. Although he felt that he had digested it well and his styling was excellent, the authorities were obsessed with it. It was useless for him to think it was good, but only for the fans to think it was good.
After browsing around for a while, he found that posts about EXO's comeback had already occupied most of the forums in just one night. After reading for a while, he felt that most people were quite surprised by this reissue of the album.
And among the eight members, the ones with the best reviews and the most discussions were him and Byun Baekhyun... Just as he had expected, Chi Jingyuan himself needless to say, Baekhyun is really suitable for this kind of person.
Style, there were many places where he felt ashamed.
In addition, the evaluation of the two title songs at this time is also OK, especially the most popular "Blood, Sweat and Tears", which many fans feel very amazing.
Chi Jingyuan has actually been very satisfied with "Blood, Sweat and Tears" before. This song is very complete, with melody, arrangement, costumes, styling, MV and even concept and sexy style, all aspects are very good.
good……
Except that the overall lyrics may be a little inferior due to too much repetition...but Wu Shixun and his group are only at that level, so we can't ask too much of them.
While I was watching, my phone vibrated and a text message popped up: "How are you treated? How can the MV set be so good?"
It was sent by Zheng Eunji, a relative from Busan. She obviously watched the MV of "Blood, Sweat and Tears" and was inspired by it, so she sent it to complain and interact.
Chi Jingyuan smiled after seeing the name, but replied very coldly, "I don't talk to competitors."
As a feat, Busan Big Mouth collaborated with rapper Hanhae on a single "Summer, Ice Cream". He also released the sound source and MV on the 18th. It can be said that he collides with EXO and is a competitor in a sense.
.
But as for the response... at least he didn't see a single discussion post after browsing the forum for a long time just now. Chi Jingyuan just took a look at the MV for this song.
His evaluation is not as good as "Fire Truck"
But the female lead in the MV is pretty good-looking...better than Jung Eun-ji.
"Ah, who are you mocking? Who dares to compete with you XO now? Your fans are overwhelming me before I even open my mouth."
Zheng Endi replied unhappily at first, then changed his tone and added with a bit of lewdness: "...Don't tell me, you really look good when you twist it!"
"It's not bad...it's better than some people who don't have that taste no matter how much they twist it."
"%¥%...Do you know how to speak well?"
He could clearly feel the sense of breaking the defense in his tone, and Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Just when he was about to make a joke, he suddenly received another text message from Zhou Ziyu. Chi Jingyuan opened it and frowned.
This girl didn't know what was going on, so she directly sent a voice message, which lasted for more than 20 seconds.
The other members were sitting nearby, so he couldn't just click on it and listen.
What a hassle...
After smacking his lips, Chi Jingyuan took out his headphones from his bag and put them on, then clicked on the voice message:
"That batch of them~~(my blood, tears, and sweat)"
As soon as he turned it on, a familiar voice and music entered his ears, making Chi Jingyuan's expression pause...
She actually directly posted a clip of her singing "Blood, Sweat and Tears". From before the chorus to the end of the chorus, she used up to 20 seconds to show off her singing voice. She seemed to like this song very much.
Look.
But her voice was soft, with a lingering sense of naivety, and was full of breathing sounds. When she sang this extremely sexy and ethereal song, she actually had the feeling of "Three Little Bears"
》Feeling, Chi Jingyuan seemed to be able to imagine her licking her short face, raising her cheeks and recording on her mobile phone.
After he listened once, he paused for a moment, listened again, then snorted disdainfully and replied:
"It sounds awful."
…………
Relying on the stunning style and songs, EXO's reissued album has carved out its own small world under the attack of the two top stars, Olympic Games and Huang Meiying. The popularity and discussion continue to rise, and the number of listens continues to rise.
While increasing and spreading its influence, it can maintain its advantage on the daily charts under the previous strong performance of "Whistle" on the music charts.
Not to mention being on the G-chart sales list, this has always been EXO's biggest advantage. At a glance, it's completely different. The difference in sales figures by several digits is enough to make passersby who have just joined the industry stunned.
However, fans also have some dissatisfaction. EXO will release a song on the 18th, but they have been running various schedules to record programs. Except for sporadic radio stations, these programs will not be available for a short period of time.
In particular, there was no live stage, and the first stage was scheduled three days later, which made people a little anxious.
...Many fans are very impressed by the style, choreography, and costumes of this "Blood, Sweat, and Tears". However, there are not many group dance shots in the MV. In a few group dance shots and a few killing parts, they are...
The movie ended in a secretive way when all the passion was aroused, which made many fans feel that it was completely unsatisfying. They went back and watched those parts over and over again countless times.
After all, dance music still depends on the stage, and the stage style of "Blood, Sweat, and Tears" has made fans talk about it countless times.
...Two or three days passed by in the midst of the heated discussions and expectations of EXO fans. Huang Miying wrote two handwritten letters of apology, and announced that she had disappeared from the regular variety show that had been developing well before.
Netizens who chased her and scolded her could not find the right person, and the popularity has dropped significantly compared to before.
The Rio Olympics, which has attracted national attention recently, has finally come to its final day.
While the two major traffic giants are gradually losing their popularity, EXO also came to SBS TV station on the same day, the 21st, to prepare to participate in the recording of "Inkigayo" today.
"...The comeback of seniors is really great. I particularly like the MV of "Blood, Sweat and Tears". I have watched it several times in the past few days."
"I like it too, the choreography is great..."
The door of the EXO lounge is wide open, and three well-dressed girls are standing inside, smiling beautifully and chatting with Jin Junmyeon and others, with a lot of intimacy and compliments in their tone.
These three are all members of the girl group Cosmic Girls. As usual, they came to say hello and pay a visit with their albums when the senior EXO came back.
Cosmic Girls made their comeback on August 17, the day before EXO released their songs, and released seven songs from their second mini-album including the title song "It's a Secret".
Another head-on opponent...
Chi Jingyuan didn't know much about this girl group, which debuted at the beginning of this year and had a mediocre response. He had never met them on TV stations before, but he had some impressions. He had heard that this group seemed to have several Xia Guo members.
After just introducing himself, he learned that the three members who came to visit were named Bona, Xue'e and Chen Xiao... In fact, he felt that the appearance of these three members was quite good, and they were considered good among female idols.
It’s so eye-catching. I don’t know why this group is not very popular until now.
"...Are you a member of the Xia Kingdom?"
Chi Jingyuan, who was originally sitting on the sofa behind and playing a game console, said nothing after greeting them after they arrived. Chi Jingyuan, who remembered something, looked up and interjected.
"Yes, senior." Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then looked at Chi Jingyuan who was looking at her, nodding excitedly.
The two girls next to him also looked over... They were really curious about this senior.
"Do you speak Korean so well?"
Chi Jingyuan praised him in surprise. Facing the three girls who were looking at him, he laughed, stretched out his fingers and made two gestures in front of his arms, covering the chorus of their hit song "It's a Secret".
The choreographer nodded: "The song is very nice, Fighting!"
It's not a false compliment, he actually thinks it's pretty good...
"Kangsangmida..." The three members saluted and thanked them in unison. I don't know why, but they felt flattered in their eyes.
"...Senior, this is our new album this time."
After a brief chat, Chi Jingyuan didn't say much. He watched Jin Jun exchange albums with them effortlessly, and then the three girls said goodbye and left. Chi Jingyuan felt that they glanced at him before leaving.
, also smiled and waved his hand.
After the three cosmic girls left, Wu Shixun, who had no idea where he was just now, wandered over, sat next to him and poked him with his elbow, and asked in a low voice: "Who are you attracted to again?"
"..."
Chi Jingyuan was extremely disgusted with this trivial question. He glanced at him and was too lazy to speak.
"Aren't you attracted to them? Do you listen to their songs? I've never heard of this 'secret' song, and you actually know the choreographer... Which of the three just now do you think is the prettiest?"
The corner of Chi Jingyuan's mouth twitched, not knowing how to answer his previous question... He was just bored these two days, so he took the time to watch the MV of the recently returned idol, because the song had a good melody, and he was quite impressed.
That's all.
I can only say that people like Oh Se-hun and Park Chan-yeol are really prostitutes.
But as for the latter question, he pondered for a few seconds as he thought about it, then pursed his lips and said, "The blond member, the one named Bona."
"I think it's the one with straight bangs..."
During the low-pitched discussion between the two, the door of the lounge was knocked from time to time, and many juniors who returned at the same time came to visit.
Kpop has been quite lively recently, with a feeling of vitality that has sprung up like mushrooms after rain. Firstly, it is because Gfriend, who has been ruling for nearly a month, has ended its singing career. Secondly, the Olympic Games are about to end, and the previous popularity and attention have returned.
Come to the entertainment section.
It can be said that Gfriend is the only one in July. After the explosion of "Time Passage" at the beginning of the year, this time "You and Me" continued its previous popularity and became a big hit, almost dominating the singing and popularity for a whole month.
If we want to use the simplest data to describe them intuitively, it would be:
Two songs, twenty-nine people.
This number is really a bit scary, even EXO has a hard time reaching this point... Although one of them has won many trophies from small channels, they are really impressive enough.
Originally, Rabbit Gas could still compete with them for the top spot of the new generation by relying on his ‘shyshyshy’, but now he has been overtaken by them again.
After Gfriend, there are more voices in the music industry. Many artists have announced their comebacks. Today, there are also many people who came to "Inkigayo" to play songs. In addition to Cosmic Girls who just came, there are also VIXX, 2PM's J.KUN,
After the disbandment of 4minute, Kim Hyuna returned as a solo artist for the first time, as well as several new groups that debuted today.
Then there are two new girl groups that have been very popular recently, IOI and blackpink.
Although IOI's debut was not smooth as Twice became a hit, its popularity is really enviable. The title of the national girl group is indeed not something that can be denied, and its popularity and popularity are no less than any top girl group.
However, some time ago, the popular member Jin Sejeong was pulled back by the agency to form a new girl group Gugudan, and the operating company here is not to be outdone, and directly formed a small team from the remaining members to transform into Girl Crush. A few days ago
After releasing their songs, they have achieved good results. This week they have won their first number one trophy since their debut, and they have also won 4 consecutive awards within a week.
Three of them were taken over Blackpink's head... Today's "Inkigayo" is the last singing competition show this week. If there are no surprises, these two girl groups will still compete.
But when it comes to "Inkigayo", Chi Jingyuan remembers that the current fixed MC is still an acquaintance of his...
"Oppa...Anihasay!"
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door of the lounge. I looked up and saw Yu Dingyan and Kong Shengyan standing at the door. Yu Dingyan first waved to Chi Jingyuan enthusiastically, and then saluted to the other EXO members.
Said hello.
The current fixed MCs of "Inkigayo" happen to be sisters Yu Jeong-yeon and Gong Seung-yeon, plus newcomer actor Kim Min-seok who debuted in 2012.
These sisters are quite familiar with Chi Jingyuan. They were familiar with the elder sister before, and now they are familiar with the younger sister... Seeing Yu Dingyan smiling and waving, Chi Jingyuan also smiled and waved in response.
Gong Seung-yeon used to work for SM, and she knew several members of EXO, such as Oh Se-hun, before. They greeted each other politely, but Yu Jeong-yeon was not familiar with the others, and she obviously came to see Ji specifically.
Jingyuan said hello and did not stay much after chatting casually for a few words, while Chi Jingyuan stood up and followed them out.
"How does it feel to be a regular MC?"
The three of them didn't go far, so they stood by the passage at the door and started chatting. As a senior regular MC, Chi Jingyuan was ready to show his experience and share his thoughts on being the MC of a singing show.
At this moment, a few figures turned around by chance. When they saw Chi Jingyuan and the others, they paused for a moment, then immediately bowed and introduced themselves:
