The news that Kim Jong Kook won the SBS Music Awards broke that night.
After all, it is a unique Triple Crown winner, and it is definitely a gimmick worth the hype.
There are actually two opinions about the Triple Crown.
One theory is that there are two Triple Crown winners. One is Kim Jong Kook and the other is Cho Yong Pil.
Another theory is that there is only one Triple Crown winner, and that is Kim Jong Kook.
Why is there such a difference?
Because the era when Cho Yong-pil won the award was so long ago, the award was completely different from what it is now.
There was no SBS in the era when Cho Yong-pil won awards, and the three awards he won were not awards from three TV stations.
Therefore, even the Koreans themselves have different opinions on whether Cho Yong-pil's achievement counts as a Triple Crown winner.
But Kim Jong Kook's Triple Crown is a real Triple Crown, and it is impossible for the outside world not to report it.
In fact, although Kim Jong Kook's triple crown in his previous life was great, it didn't arouse much enthusiasm at the time.
The reason is that the entertainment company behind Kim Jong Kook at that time was limited in strength and could not provide much support. Another reason is that not long after Kim Jong Kook won the Triple Crown, he enlisted in the army.
Now that we have left the entertainment industry, there is no point in hyping up the Triple Crown.
So a few years later, Kim Jong Kook's fans discovered an unacceptable situation.
Obviously our brother is the only Triple Crown winner in Korea and is such an amazing singer. Why does he feel that his status in the industry is average?
It was because when Kim Jong Kook won the Triple Crown, his follow-up operations were ineffective and he left the entertainment industry due to his military service, missing the best timeliness.
Not to mention Kim Jong Kook's triple crown, it's PSY's "Gangnam Style". Without the operation of YG and big capital behind it, it still doesn't have such a terrifying influence.
As a result, PSY suddenly became the ceiling of Korean singers, and the attitude of others towards him was completely different from before.
Kim Jong Kook is different now, he has Big Hit behind him.
Just looking at the scale and strength of Big Hit, it seems average. But don’t forget that the boss of this company is Xiao Qian.
Xiao Qian now controls the world's top Internet media, Bilibili and Facebook.
And Big Hit has already said hello to all the major media.
With the three trophies in hand, the promotion of Big Hit started immediately.
For a time, the news that Kim Jong Kook won the Triple Crown flooded the screen.
There are links on the homepages of Bilibili and Facebook, and they are also the most popular search engines in many countries.
In South Korea, major entertainment media have reported on it, and even broadcasters have reported it in regular news.
Generally, it is definitely not a good thing for entertainment stars to appear in social news. But Kim Jong Kook is an exception, and his influence has begun to spread beyond the circle.
After several days of publicity, the popularity of Kim Jong Kook and the Triple Crown swept across the end of the year, suppressing all other entertainment industry news.
In this life, Kim Jong-kook no longer has the difficulty of serving in the military. Of course, the major media and various capitals are willing to speculate on his potential.
As a result, Kim Jong Kook was advantaged, making him the most popular star in South Korea in 2005 after Son Ye Jin.
In the annual national rankings, Kim Jong Kook was ranked just below Son Ye Jin, surpassing all the top celebrities and becoming a complete celebrity.
Thanks to him, even the ratings of "Xman" are much better.
Entering 2006, "Xman" has also passed its peak period, and gradually began to show decline.
However, this trend is not obvious yet, and it will not be felt until the second half of 2006.
For Kim Jong-Kuo's triple crown, Xiao Qian held a grand celebration banquet and invited all of Kim Jong-Kuo's network to have a great time.
Seeing Big Hit being so kind to Kim Jong Kook, other artists are really envious.
"Representative Xiao, what do you think of me? Although I am not a singer or an actor, I am still very useful."
Kang Ho Dong drank a little too much and took advantage of the atmosphere to speak his mind.
It's best to say it at this time. Even if Xiao Qian refuses, it won't hurt anyone. Otherwise, Jiang Hudong may appear rough and arrogant, but he is actually as considerate as his hair.
Xiao smiled lightly.
"If Kang Ho-dong senior can come to Big Hit, that would be a great thing that we can only hope for. It's decided that if your contract expires, Big Hit will definitely sign you. Any conditions can be discussed."
The scene fell silent, and everyone looked between Xiao Qian and Jiang Hudong.
Will Big Hit sign an artist?
Seeing Xiao Qian's sincere attitude, many people felt ripples in their hearts.
Jiang Hudong was stunned for a moment, and then he was so excited that he jumped up and ran over to toast Xiao Qian.
He really wants to come to Big Hit.
The reason is very simple, Big Hit’s treatment is good.
Although with his current reputation, it is not difficult to find a brokerage company, and he will not treat himself badly no matter where he goes. But it also depends on the strength of the brokerage company, right?
Why did Jiang Hodong later sign with SM C&C?
Isn’t it because SM has a monopoly on Korean variety show production?
Although Big Hit has not yet shown signs of entering the entertainment industry in a big way, Xiao Qian has participated in the production of many programs, and its artists often appear in various variety shows, which shows that this company is open to entertainment.
of.
Especially this time after Kim Jong Kook won the Triple Crown, Big Hit's support for Kim Jong Kook made him even more jealous.
Of course Xiao Qian knew what Jiang Hudong meant. With such a national MC sitting in the company, the effect of mentoring and mentoring for its artists should not be too good.
But is a national MC enough?
He looked at Yoo Jae Suk.
"The contract with Brother Shi is about to expire, right? How about coming to Big Hit?"
Liu Zaishi didn't expect to talk about his own affairs, and Xiao Qian extended the invitation so straightforwardly, which made him a little at a loss.
"I...I'll think about it."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Qian said it more straightforwardly.
"It's great to host a show at Big Hit, but my vision for choosing a company is not that good. If you trust me, come directly. Big Hit has few things to do and never owed artists their income, so you can work with peace of mind."
, don’t worry about anything else.”
Xiao Qian knew that after Liu Zaishi's contract ended, he would join the brokerage company opened by Shen Dongye's friend.
As a result, Shin Dong-yeop's friend was cheated. Not only was he bankrupt, but he also owed Yoo Jae-seok the performance fee. In the end, he had no choice but to file a lawsuit, which greatly affected his energy.
Xiao Qian said that Yoo Jae Suk's judgment in choosing a brokerage company was not good, and there is a basis for it.
He later went to FNC, but FNC only took advantage of his fame and had a lot of troubles, but did not provide him with any help.
It can be said that one of the main reasons why Yoo Jae Suk has made little progress in variety shows after 2015 is that he was cheated by his agency.
On the other hand, Kang Ho-dong, who joined SM, teamed up with Lee Soo-geun, Seo Jang-hoon, Lee Sang-min and many others to almost monopolize the vast majority of entertainment programs.
On the contrary, Yoo Jae Suk's programs have almost no breakthroughs after "Infinite Challenge". Although he has produced many programs, there is no real masterpiece.
Facing Xiao Qian's invitation, Liu Zaishi was also a little moved. He planned to think about it after he went back, but Xiao Qian spoke so thoroughly that he could only laugh silently.
"Ah, am I that unbearable? Okay, I will give you an answer as soon as possible."
Haha was listening to Xiao Qian and the two big guys talking, and he could only feel envious. He knew that this kind of thing was not his turn, so he should hug Da Miao's lap, right?
"Brother Zhong Guo, you have won the Triple Crown now. Are you going to prepare a new album next?"
Haha, I just thought that if Kim Jong Kook releases a new album, I will find a way to gain popularity.
Kim Jong Kook has the same idea.
"Representative, will my new album be arranged?"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Qian wagged her finger.
"You have to release fewer albums from now on, so you can give others a way to survive."
You don’t need to speak too clearly, you can understand everything.
Many people present looked serious and agreed with Xiao Qian's views.
You have just won the Triple Crown and are releasing a new song. Do you want to let others live?
Everyone can see that with Kim Jong Kook's current limelight, once a new album is released, it will definitely sweep the world. It doesn't matter how good the new album is, it's just because he is sitting on the limelight and taking off at will.
But once he took off, the rest of his colleagues were in trouble.
Originally there was a big name in the music industry this year TVX Q. If Kim Jong Kook were to come again, there would really be no way for him to survive.
If Kim Jong-kook did that, I'm afraid he would also face a plot from his previous life.
"Brother Zhong Guo, go and film."
Xiao Qian takes very good care of artists. Since Kim Jong Kook cannot continue to shine in the field of singers, he will help him explore new fields.
Although Kim Jong Kook will establish a foothold in the entertainment field in the future, Xiao Qian is not satisfied with this.
Looking at Jin Zhongguo's size, Xiao Qian had a new idea.
