Chapter 237 Buying an Album

"Always be selfish and only know yourself."

"I also silently don't understand your heart."

"..."

"Now I wish I didn't have this embarrassing superpower."

After EXO came back again on December 12th, this ballad titled "Miracle of December" appeared in the streets and alleys of Seoul. Except for the video stores that were supposed to play KPOP songs, other Such as restaurants, coffee shops, and even kiosks are playing this song.

Although this title song is far less shocking and refreshing than the previous "Roar", but because it has inherited the popularity of EXO, even if it is just a ballad, it has become a popular song in the peninsula music industry in a short time. One of the new trends.

Before the release, the pre-sales alone had reached 45 copies. After the official release, it directly reached the top of the physical album rankings, and nearly 60 copies had been sold in less than five days.

This astronomical sales volume for most idol groups is already normal for EXO. From "Wolf", "Roar" to the current "December Miracle", every single The sales volume can surprise other people's eyeballs.

It’s just that many fans are a little dissatisfied that this time the name is the winter special of the return of the EXO group. However, after the return, only 4 members of the lead singer Line participated in the singing stage and some performances. Said to play the piano behind the lay.

If they don't make it clear, many people don't even know that the person playing the piano on the stage is a member of EXO every time they play songs, and those who don't know think it's a passerby who dances with them.

The other members are just soy saucers, they only occasionally show their faces together when one of them presents an award, and other times they don't see each other at all.

And obviously he is the lead singer of Line, but Chi Jingyuan, who is the most popular, did not participate in this comeback event, no matter whether it was promotion, announcement or even playing songs, no one saw him all the time.

Before, many fans were eagerly looking forward to seeing Chi Jingyuan again, but they didn't expect that after waiting for so long, they couldn't even see him alone.

Even though SM issued a notice that Yuan could not participate in the early comeback activities due to the Asian trip, but after the Asian trip ended, he would return to the peninsula to participate in the follow-up song making.

But this announcement didn't satisfy the large number of Yuan fans, they didn't care about it, Yuan went overseas to make money for the company and they couldn't see it, what fans wanted was to see their idol on TV and on stage.

The planning and arrangement of SM's winter special this time has indeed caused quite a bit of controversy. Whether other members are spectators or the popularity of the top is absent, it has aroused great opposition among fans.

But this noise also brought the heat up at the same time.

Today, "Miracle in December" has been released for almost a week. Taking advantage of today's break, Zhou Ziyu and Kong Xue went to the streets together to buy EXO's new album.

"Ziyu, should we buy the Xia version or the Korean version?"

The two of them looked at the video store for a while and hesitated.

"Let's go for the Xia Wen version. After listening to it, I think the lyrics are pretty good."

Zhou Ziyu thought for a while, then took out a Xia Wen edition album on the shelf, and looked at the cover and illustrations in his hands.

"Okay, then buy the Xia Wen version."

Kong Xue also took one, and the two went to pay after looking at it.

After the goal was achieved, the two were ready to return to the JYP building while they still had some time to practice for a while, chatting while walking.

"Did you watch the finale of Ziyu's "The Heirs" the day before yesterday? Wow, I didn't expect it to end so soon. Jin Tan is really handsome. I think I'm looking for a boyfriend like him..."

Recalling the scene of watching the drama a few nights ago, Kong Xue clutched her chest and sighed with longing.

The last episode of "The Heirs" aired on December 12, and the audience rating reached a peak of 12% at the finale, which can be said to be a thriving show among the Mizuki dramas broadcast by SBS this year.

This TV series, which has caused infinite discussions and extremely high popularity, has also come to an end. At the beginning, the script was clichéd on the Internet, and the audience with poor acting skills had already turned their backs. , I hope that the crew will extend the number of episodes like "The Lord's Sun", and not end it so quickly.

It's just a pity that what they don't know is that the production team has been disbanded many days ago, and the leading actors have started their own schedules. Even if the production team wants to extend it, it will be difficult to reunite the leading actors in a short time.

What's more, Kim Eun-sook himself has no intention of extending the show, so fans of the drama have no choice but to disappoint their fiery expectations.

"Well, I saw it, and it was really good."

Zhou Ziyu nodded. As Chi Jingyuan's friend, she would of course contribute her share of the ratings.

It's just because of time constraints that he and she didn't have time to watch many previous episodes, but they still took time to watch the live broadcast of the finale two days ago.

"In the past two days, Yuan didn't come back with EXO but went to our summer country for activities. I heard that this drama is also super popular in our country. I wear a scarf these two days. "The Heirs" and Yuan often Hanging on the hot search..."

After chatting for a while about the TV series I was following, Kong Xue mentioned another thing:

"By the way, why did the company hold a trainee showcase with SM this time, there was no such precedent before."

Some time ago, the head of the trainee’s room sent a notice from the company that JYP will jointly hold a trainee showcase with SM in late December.

Showcases for trainees are very common, and each brokerage company often holds them, allowing their outstanding trainees to perform in front of the audience, familiarize themselves with the stage and camera, strengthen typhoon and expressiveness, and lay the foundation for their future debut.

It’s just that each company generally runs its own, and cooperation between companies is somewhat rare.

"I do not know either."

Zhou Ziyu answered with a slightly low voice,
When it came to this matter, she was in a bad mood.

Because she is not one of the company's key trainees, she cannot perform on stage in this kind of showcase. She can only be a spectator and feel the atmosphere the day after tomorrow.

"Ugh……"

Kong Xue also understood the other party's mood, and sighed sympathetically, because she could only be an audience.

"The participants this time are all trainees who have practiced for a long time, like the seniors of 6mix who are preparing to debut."

"I really want to perform on stage with them."

Kong Xue chattered on and on, while Zhou Ziyu was holding the album and walked forward silently with his head down.

"I don't know how good the trainees are at SM, are there any outstanding trainees from our company..."

…………

Time passed day by day, and on December 12th, Chi Jingyuan temporarily ended his trip within Asia and prepared to return to the peninsula.

At this time, he was sitting in the waiting room with his team at the airport, leaning against the back of the chair while swiping his phone while talking to Park Jae-hyun about what happened after returning.
