Chapter 980 Chinese Song
Within three or four days after the release of Chi Jingyuan's solo album and the title song "Once Loved", the entire music industry avoided the song as if it were the plague. Those who had released songs for a while stopped promoting them as soon as they saw that they were almost popular, saving time for other activities. Those who had not yet released songs delayed their releases, giving various reasons, but they just postponed them.
These economic companies are actually cursing in their hearts, damn it, why didn’t SM and Chi Jingyuan release songs earlier or later, and had to choose February to bully people?
As a top player like you, wouldn't it be bad for you to go to the hottest summer season and compete with those top-tier groups?
Moreover, many idols and management companies had actually thought about avoiding it when they knew the approximate release date of Ji Jingyuan's solo, but SM has never announced the specific release date. Even if others want to avoid it, they don't know how to do it. Resources have already been invested, and they can't just keep hiding without releasing the album.
Therefore, when other agencies knew that they would be competing with Ji Jingyuan, they were actually mentally prepared. But even if they had expected it, they never thought that his solo would be so popular. On the first day of the release, it almost achieved all the first-day results of idol solo singers. The sound source data was simply terrifying. In just three days, it had spread across the country. It was playing everywhere in the streets and alleys of Seoul. They were trembling with fear after they felt the level of popularity themselves.
...Not to mention other people, SM himself actually didn't expect it to be so popular.
The effect of TOP idols + hit songs is far from as simple as 1+1=2.
All of a sudden, the probability of problems occurring in the album preparation process of various singers and idols reached the highest level in previous years... However, although some of the brokerage companies' reasons were lame, after seeing the news, the fans of these idols felt relieved, and happily conveyed the news online and in fan groups.
The other fans who were watching did not show any contempt at all. Instead, they understood their actions very well. They even congratulated the fans of the idols who delayed their return, congratulating their idols for their good luck and the agency's actions were very wise.
Nonsense, haven't you seen that in the entire K-pop world, most of the idols who returned recently didn't make any splashes. Are they all invalid returns? Of all the idols of the same period, NCT Dream was sent away within a week of releasing a song. Only Red Velvet had a smaller impact, but their popularity was also suppressed a lot. They kept working hard to gain exposure and barely maintained their popularity. It made fans feel distressed.
If you don't run now, are you waiting to be hit head-on and die?
For a while, a very strange phenomenon appeared among the fan groups of several idols who had recently been rumored to be returning and releasing songs. In the past two days, the fans who used to look forward to the return of their idols and wished they would release songs every day, have acted contrary to their behavior and are eagerly waiting online every day, eager to see the news of their idols' postponed return.
Once a group of idols announces a delay in releasing a song, their fans immediately breathe a sigh of relief and happily praise the company for being wise, while those fans who didn't wait will just sigh and continue to wait for news.
Fans of those groups who did not avoid it, or who had already released songs in advance a few days ago, could only watch enviously as others withdrew, watching their own groups finally make a comeback, but just two days after achieving some success, they were smashed to pieces by a giant ship. They watched them struggle and try hard, but got half the result with twice the effort, and were drowned out by the trend of "Loved" without any sound.
"Ahhh, our oppa announced that he will postpone the release of his new song. Let me see. OK, it's been postponed for half a month, which is just in time for the popularity of 'Loved' to pass... That's great. The company has finally behaved themselves this time!"
"Oh, that's great... I heard that our idol is going to make a comeback soon, why hasn't the company issued a statement yet? Is he really going to collide with Yuan?"
This funny phenomenon became quite popular for a while, surprising and ridiculous fans of other idols and newcomers to the Kpop fan circle.
However, they also personally and deeply experienced the terrifying influence and oppression of TOP idols.
Although they didn't say it, some black fans recalled the words "shattering Kpop" that the original fans had said online. They sneered at it at the time, but now seeing the scene where a lot of groups have avoided it, even if they didn't say it, they couldn't help but think that this was very funny. It is a word that appears when almost every first-line idol returns.
They could only sigh helplessly and with emotion:
Did the shit really shatter? ...But that was only Chi Jingyuan.
These are all things that have been made public. There are some that have not been made public and are under consideration. For example, Kim Taeyeon rushed back to the company this morning to discuss with the team the possibility and... necessity of postponing the release of her regular album.
Up to now, among the idol groups that have recently announced their comeback, apart from those unknown 18th-tier groups that no one pays attention to, Twice is the only first-tier idol group that has not announced a postponement.
…………
Twice, who are about to hold their first concert in their professional career, have already started rehearsals at the SK Olympic Handball Stadium. It is their first solo concert as a group and they couldn't help but feel a little nervous even in an empty venue and they are practicing very hard.
During the break in practice, when several members gathered together to chat, the topic they talked about was
"It's really scary, this song is so popular... I was talking to my mom on the phone yesterday and heard that my sister and her classmates in school have been singing "Loved" every day recently. I feel like this song is being played everywhere when I go to work and back home these few days."
Lin Nayeon, who had just practiced a round, was squatting on the stools on both sides of the backstage corridor, scrolling through her phone and thinking of her own personal experience. Her facial features wrinkled vividly: "Last year, our "Cheer Up" was shyshyshyshy but it wasn't so popular... At least my sister never listened to it."
"It's true that the fire is a bit scary. It's only been a few days."
Yu Jeongyeon sat opposite, drinking water and browsing her phone. She shrugged and said, "But it's normal, because this song is really good."
"It sounds nice, but no matter how nice it sounds..." Lin Nayeon hesitated and pouted halfway through her words.
She really likes the song "Loved", and takes the comment "It makes people want to fall in love after listening to it" very seriously. When she first saw that this song was very popular, she was very happy for Chi Jingyuan.
But later, when she saw that the song became more and more popular and was far more popular than she had expected, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
"but……"
At this time, Minatozaki Sana next to him was a little worried: "I saw that many idols have announced the postponement of their music releases... Do we really have to return on the original schedule?"
Of course, they have also seen the recent postponement news on the Internet, and some once fans actually hope that Twice will delay the release of their songs.
Unlike others, Minatozaki Sana took off her shoes and put them on the ground. She was barefoot, stepped on a stool, and moved her feet. Unlike the worry on her face, her ten toes painted with pink nail polish moved, looking very active.
"I heard from Sangmin oppa that the company did discuss postponing the album. The song 'Loved' was so popular, and Yuan's entire album was a hit."
Park Ji Hyo, the team leader, knew some inside information. After taking a sip of water, she said helplessly, "But our comeback is too close. It is said that the corresponding promotional resources and variety show promotion schedules have been confirmed."
"Besides, we are planning to release the new title song stage in advance at the concert. If we delay the stage, it will lose a lot of popularity. There will also be a preview VCR, which has already announced the return date of 'February 2', which cannot be changed at all."
"Ugh."
Upon hearing this, Minatozaki Sana sighed slightly, and even her pink and tender feet lost their vitality and wilted.
She is the most career-oriented person in the entire group. Although she has a good relationship with Chi Jingyuan and has other feelings in her heart, she still hopes that her group's comeback results will be better.
She was not like that little traitor Ming Jingnan. Seeing that Ji Jingyuan's solo performance was so good, even though she didn't like the song "Loved" in her heart, she was still happy for her boyfriend from the bottom of her heart and didn't consider the current situation of their Twice at all.
Thinking of how Naito was sometimes sad and sometimes happy these past two days, Minatozaki Sana couldn't help but complain in her heart: "She doesn't like it, but she's happy at the same time... Isn't it weird? She's like a psychopath."
Several people were discussing here the biggest enemy of their return at the moment, and thinking about how to deal with it when the time comes.
Lin Nayeon even gave a rather vicious suggestion, waving her fist and saying fiercely, "Chi Jingyuan likes to eat snacks, so put some laxatives in the snacks and have Mina deliver them to him. Let him stop activities for two days."
"What if Mina doesn't want to go?" Yu Jeongyeon sneered and glanced at her: "How about you go?"
"Eh?"
Lin Nayeon was stunned when she heard this, her little fist stopped in mid-air, and she blinked blankly.
...I feel a little moved.
"omo!"
As they were chatting, Minatozaki Sana, who was browsing on her phone, suddenly exclaimed, "How come Jingyuan Oppa's album on the H chart has increased by nearly 200,000 copies in just one day? Are you kidding me?"
Ji Kyung-won’s album sales have become a Kpop landscape, attracting attention from both inside and outside the circle.
Although his 300 million pre-sales are very scary, it is also a reflection of the album's configuration, his own popularity and national reputation, and his loyal fans. In fact, this number has already consumed most of the potential of the peninsula and mainland markets. Although the pre-sales reached million, the growth rate after the official sale was actually not fast.
...Of course, this speed is compared with himself. The speed of tens of thousands of photos per day makes other idols' eyes turn red.
The original growth rate had slowed down, but at this moment, Minatozaki Sana suddenly discovered that after the list was refreshed, there were so many more people at once, and she was very surprised.
"Oh this..."
Upon hearing this, Park Ji Hyo leaned back in his chair and said in a strange tone, "This should be a big order from his fans in mainland China... I just heard the PD and CEO Lee chatting, and a Chinese song in the album he released over there seemed to have suddenly become popular, and it was very popular, so the sales increased a lot all of a sudden."
"I also heard PD Nim say that the idea of a Chinese song is very good. I am considering whether to try it out during our next comeback..."
"A Chinese song?" Minatozaki Sana nodded slowly, "What's it called?"
"Chasing the Light, or what was it? I don't know, and I can't understand it. I just checked it online after hearing what they said... We don't pay much attention to the Chinese version here."
While the two were discussing, Zhou Ziyu, who had just returned from the bathroom and passed by, suddenly paused.
