Chapter 288 Equals No Return
"By the way, did you watch Jing Yuan and Sehun's "Coming-of-Age Ceremony" fan photoshoot at the birthday party yesterday?"

Park Chanyeol brought up this issue again with a smile on his face, licked his lips and sighed: "Jinjia, you danced so well, that wave is really..."

"Brother, you like this song so much, why didn't you dance with us yesterday?"

Chi Jingyuan glanced sideways, a little speechless for this brother.

Park Chanyeol and Kim Jong-in don’t know whether they like to watch the bustle of the youngsters, or they really like the dance style of "Coming-of-Age Ceremony". When the two of them were still awake, they were watching his fans' fan photos on their mobile phones.

It's really free... Can't you have the time to make a phone call with the female ticket?
But he really went to see the fan fan shoot Chi Jingyuan he was talking about.

From the perspective of a bystander, in the video, he is wearing a serious and slim black suit, and he is dancing sexy dance with a full face. It is really attractive. It creates a strong contrast that makes female fans feel excited. No wonder As soon as this fan shoot was released on the Internet, the number of hits skyrocketed, and it aroused crazy discussions and licking screens from Chi Jingyuan's fans.

After the birthday party ended yesterday, some fan photos and live photos were posted to the fan group after returning by the fans present, and some were directly uploaded to the Internet.

After seeing the on-site photos, Chi Jingyuan's various fan clubs started scrolling directly. Some of the participating fans came back and told the progress of the birthday party and how they got along with Chi Jingyuan in a showy tone. How many girl fans are sour.

Including the special "Mitzvah Ceremony" stage, photos of the members who came down with cream on their faces when cutting the cake to distribute gifts, and the return photos of those small gifts carefully prepared by Team K.

Especially after the video of Chi Jingyuan sitting alone on the stage and chatting with fans present like a good friend was posted, some fans immediately broke their defenses, except expressing envy, jealousy and hatred for those fans who got the quota for the birthday party In addition, it is a crazy complaint against SM company.

300 seats is not enough, SM, your whole family is not enough to sit in.

Ours really wants to go, I also want to have a close chat with Yuan and take pictures...

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he rushed to SM again.

Up to now, there are still a lot of fans on the company's website complaining that the company has no brains about planning birthday parties, so they should be laid off quickly and don't harm their idols.

"Don't tell me, if I hadn't grown up long ago, I would have jumped on it, so I wouldn't be as shy as you two."

Park Chanyeol shrugged his shoulders with a natural expression: "You may feel a little ashamed and awkward dancing by yourself. After all, it is the first time. In fact, watching from the sidelines is really attractive."

"We will definitely be together next time." Chi Jingyuan curled his lips and nodded in promise.

After chatting for a while, the two people over there got together to share the joyful achievements of the first day of the comeback after finishing the styling. After 10 minutes, Lee Seung-hwan walked in, opened the door and said: "The styling is done. Bar?"

There is no need for anyone to answer. He glanced at it and knew it, then clapped his hands and shouted: "Okay, get ready, go to the waiting room in half an hour for a comeback interview, here is the script, you can read it first, and Suho and Chanyeol will go later Check the script with MC.

“After the interview is our rehearsal.”

"Today, there are two stages, live broadcast of "i need u" and pre-recording of "overdose". After the background is set up, we will go there when the stage manager informs us. Is there any problem?"

"Guess." The members responded together, their voices were cheerful. It was obvious that everyone was in a good mood, and the results beyond expectations made them full of motivation.

"Look at it quickly, don't make any mistakes later." Lee Seung-hwan handed a few scripts to the members, and then sat on the side.

The six members stopped chatting, took over the script and began to work seriously.

…………

“Really couldn’t hold back the curiosity so here we are.”

"What will EXO look like when it comes back to the stage? Let's see it..."

On the TV screen, two MCs, Jung Joon Young and Ahn Jae Hyun, held the microphones and stopped to discuss in anticipation at the door of a lounge with the label 'EXO-K'. After speaking, they knocked on the door and opened the door Pushed away and shouted: "Aniha Sai..."

"Anihasai..." There was a burst of booing and cheering, and the six members of the K team stood up and applauded for a long time.

There are still a lot of things around their lounge, such as bags and handbags, which look messy but are also very real. Cody and the assistant in the room have already gone out at this time, and now they are standing in the VJ Watching the interview with a smile behind him.

"Nice to meet you, please say hello to the audience friends."

Two MCs stood on the left and right sides of Team K, pointing at the camera.

"1, 2, 3 we are one."

"Hello everyone, we are EXO-K." After giving a signature thumbs up, the six of them saluted the camera neatly.

"Please take a seat, please."

He said please sit down, but actually put three stools. The team leader Kim Jun-myeon and Chi Kyung-won and Wu Se-hoon had no seats to sit, so they could only stand behind with a smile.

"I came back with the song 'Overdose', how do you feel now?" Jung Joon Young put the microphone in front of Kim Jun Myeon.

"First of all, I would like to thank the fans who have been waiting, and I want to show you this stage as soon as possible."

Having talked to the script before, Jin Junmian smiled and talked without any pause.

"Then when it comes to EXO, it's performances, especially this time with a very special face-slapping choreography. The MV has just been released and it has aroused heated discussions among fans."

Zheng Junying looked at Chi Jingyuan who was standing in the back row again: "Can Yuan xi perform for us?"

"Oh oh oh..."

Under the booing of the members, Chi Jingyuan walked up to the camera, pursed his lips, and smiled, oh, with a puffy face, he tapped twice quickly and then retracted immediately.

I don't think it's awkward on stage, but it's quite awkward to perform alone when interviewing in front of the camera.

But in fact, the effect is very good, he can't see the audience's reaction, and then several cody and female staff standing behind the VJ are staring at him with bright eyes, even if they stand back to their original positions, they still don't look away. locked.

"Wow, it's really beautiful..." Ahn Jae-hyun applauded, looked at the script and said curiously: "Then, to be honest, do any of the choreographers feel that they can do better than Yuan? There should be so Want to be a member?"

"This..." Several people looked at each other, and Park Chanyeol blinked helplessly at the camera: "There is really no such thing, we all like this choreography, so each of us tried it during rehearsal, really Yuan’s is the best looking.”

"So it's recognized..." The camera focused on Chi Jingyuan, who was still smiling, and stayed for a second before entering the stage of reading letters from fans.

After selecting a few overseas fans to come and have a pass, this comeback interview is considered to be over.

"M! The program group of "countdoown" really attaches great importance to XO's comeback this time. The duration of this interview alone almost catches up with a stage.

If there is no such interview, it is estimated that some idle idol group can still play a song on this issue of "m!c" in the spare time.

"Today is Teacher's Day in the Peninsula. We are here to thank Teacher Li Xiuman and all the teachers who have helped us..."

In the end, Jin Junmian took the microphone and thanked him, and everyone waved at the camera:

"Stay tuned for XO's comeback stage tonight, Kang Sang Mita..."

…………

"fall everything."

"fall everything."

"Falling down one after another."

"fall everything."

"........."

At the beginning of the "i need u" performance, six members lay on the stage. With the sound of the prelude, Chi Jingyuan slowly stood up under the support of Wu Shixun, and the stage officially started after a low-pitched singing.

The included song "i need u" has been very popular in the past few days at night. After the leak of the sound source and the upload of the birthday party performance video for several consecutive promotions, the popularity of this ordinary included song is only slightly lower than that of the title song. .

Not to mention that the leaked stage was blurry and hard to see clearly. The birthday party performance uploaded yesterday did not have special mirrors and lighting backgrounds. Of course, the effect is not as good as the formal stage.

And today is the first time that "i need u" will appear on a formal stage.

"I need you girl."

"You are so beautiful."

"I need you girl."

"Too indifferent."

In the last chorus of the stage, Ji Jingyuan’s slightly sharp vocals combined with Do Kyungsoo’s chorus, coupled with the passionate accompaniment melody, ignited the enthusiasm of all the audience.

He stood in the center of the stage, sang while lowering his head and clutching his chest. The other five members knelt on the ground in the shape of a five-pointed star and surrounded him tightly, stretching out their hands toward him. Catch it, it's like worshiping.

"Ah..."

The silver sequins falling from the ceiling, under the background of the dazzling lights, this choreography is so shocking, the fans in the auditorium below the stage, whether they are EXO fans or not, are all heated up, and the screams resounding through the sky are even faintly overshadowed music.

And today I also participated in this issue of "m! c", the other artists who have been paying attention to EXO and watching their live performances also feel amazed by the stage. Apink, who has been watching TV in the lounge, opened their mouths, obviously a little immersed in it.

"I need you girl."

After watching it, Wu Xiarong and Jin Nanzhu stood in place, lowered their heads and grabbed the clothes on their chests while singing, imitating Chi Jingyuan's part just now, but the people around them who didn't kneel down seemed a little imposing.

"It's a good thing we'll run away next week."

Zheng Endi looked at the TV with some complacency: "If we collide with each other and can't get one by one, it's not because Chi Jingyuan is so complacent."

"Ernie and we are not bad, okay?"

"a ha ha ha……"

"i need u" was a live broadcast performance, and after the end, the screen switched and entered the stage of "overdose" which they pre-recorded in the afternoon.

The six-member K team version of "overdose" is similar to the 12-member version, with similar choreography, but there are naturally many more part and C-position shots for each of the six members.

When the impressive Chi Jingyuan slapped his face, the audience cheered again, feeling that this choreography has become a symbolic movement of this song.

"The last one is..."

"apink, rough camida."

With Zheng Junying's loud announcement, as expected, one of this issue gave apink's "mr.chu" again. This is the two consecutive weeks that they have won the "m! c" one.

So far, they have won 7 first places in their comeback, and their results are already very good. In addition to last year's "nonono", the two comebacks received very good responses. Their popularity and popularity are rising at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the past two years, the same-generation girl group competition has taken the lead.

Zheng En said before that this is apink's last week of playing songs, but it doesn't matter if it is because even if they continue to play songs, they will not be able to beat EXO, who seems to be unstoppable in this comeback, next week.

It's good to retreat early, so as not to try to squeeze into a substitute, but the score is doubled and the fans are ridiculed and lose face.

"Congratulations." Chi Jingyuan and Zheng Endi smiled, followed the members and left the stage.

This comeback first stage has been completed, EXO-K will also be busy with various schedules.

The results of the first day of the Mini [-] can be said to have exceeded expectations, and the results of the specific location will depend on the trend in the next few days.

…………

"someone call the doctor catch me quickly......"

The music of "Addicted" is constantly playing in the audio album store called 'musickorea' on the third floor in Myeongdong, and the sound echoes in every corner.

Kim Hee Jin, who came here together, accompanied Li Min Eun to the album sales area, and the most conspicuous thing on the shelf was EXO's second mini-album "Overdose".

"Are you sure you want to buy XO's album? Infinite is coming back next week, don't you want to compare it?" Jin Xizhen saw his friend go straight to XO's album area, looking at the album on the shelf and behind The poster on the wall hesitated for a moment and followed behind to persuade him.

Both of them are first-year students, and they usually have a good relationship, and they both like kpop and often discuss together.

"What's the comparison between infinite and XO?" Li Minen gave her a strange look, but she couldn't refute what she said.

"..." Jin Xizhen opened his mouth, thought for a while and asked again: "Then Taeyang will return solo soon, didn't you say that you were a VIP before?"

"You said it was before."

"bigbang is very popular, and I like GD quite a lot...but just listen to music and become a fan of passers-by. It's really hard to make people want to chase after that average appearance."

Li Minen didn't look back, looked at the album on the shelf and muttered to himself: "It's really annoying not to have a separate cover, and if you can't open Yuan's small card, it's not a waste of money..."

"It's safer to buy a few..."

Jin Xizhen pursed his lips, seeing his friend's appearance, he was really attracted by EXO, and he was definitely a fan of the planet.

But this is also a very normal thing. Among the peninsula student star chasing group, EXO is really a trend in the trend. Before the "Roar" period, it was already very popular. This time, the comeback is even more powerful. Just come back.

Just look at the flow of people stopping in front of the album shelf. At this time, there are seven or eight students who are preparing to buy a special school around the two of them. Basically, they are all here for EXO, and there are a few who are not too old. Looking at the poster on the wall obsessively, his eyes are shining.

"I read online that the configuration of the album "Overdose" is average."

"I've seen it, it's the usual photo card + postcard + photo book + CD."

Li Minen looked at the album he had taken down, and at the same time answered very familiarly: "The configuration of the mini album is like this, why ask for so many, more than 1 won is not expensive."

"And once you get a Yuan card, you will get your money back. Do you know how popular a Yuan card is now? His comeback look is really amazing, and the photo of the card is also very handsome."

"Sehun and Chanyeol's are pretty good, but they're still not as good as the maknae."

I said it like a few treasures, took the album and dragged my friend to pay, "Buy five copies first."

Most of them are people who bought EXO albums. After scanning the QR code, the cashier reminded every customer who bought "overdose" as usual, and pointed to the poster area next to it: "XO's second mini-album does not come with a separate Poster, if you like it, you can choose it."

"Then I'll take a look." Hearing this, Li Minen pulled Jin Xizhen over there.

"Whose poster do you want to buy?" Jin Xizhen looked around and asked.

"This is not nonsense, it must be Yuan's."

Li Minen walked over and began to choose: "Look at the inventory, you can tell at a glance whose pictorial is the most sought-after.

"fall everything."

"fall everything."

At this time, "i need u" was played in the album store. Hearing the prelude, Jin Xizhen couldn't help humming along, and then sighed: "This song is really good. I've been listening to it since yesterday. Cycled many times."

"The stage is even better, have you watched "m!c" yesterday?"

"Look, the choreography at the end was really helpful. Yuan was so handsome when he was surrounded." Jin Xizhen nodded. She really watched it and was very impressed with that stage.

"That was a 100% killing part. Didn't you get caught? You shouldn't." Li Minen looked back at her in surprise.

"It's a little... But I just want to compare Infinite and the sun after returning..."

"Ha ha."

Hearing his friend's hearty laughter and feeling the connotation in it, Jin Xizhen also hesitated a little. After thinking about it:
"How about I buy one too?"

"Okay, remember to exchange Yuan's small card with me."

"...I won't change it."

"Then you'd better wait for your infinite..."

…………

"EXO's [-]nd mini-album sound source released, three songs broke the chart at the same time, and the sound source trends of the three songs merged into one line, it's spectacular!!"

"The 1st to 9th places on the real-time rankings of Melon are occupied by EXO!"

""Overdose" has 78 pre-sales, the most among mini albums ever."

"The EXO #overdose# MV released yesterday attracted the attention of countless fans, and the XO members attracted everyone's attention with their gorgeous performances and outstanding video beauty."

"..."

Woollim Entertainment, Infinite's practice room, a few members watched today's online news and trending searches while resting, the surrounding air felt a little frozen, and the atmosphere was not very good for a while.

They will come back next week. They are in a critical period in their fourth year of debut. The response to their last single album "Destiny" is not bad. The sales volume of 10,000+ is already very high for them.

And this time, it was a long-term difficult labor and finally restarted. Everyone worked hard and carefully prepared the regular second series, hoping to continue the previous popularity and strive for a further step.

At the beginning of the year, the company consulted a lot of idol schedules through various internal information, and selected May 5st as the time for the group to come back. It belongs to an artist who has not been too popular before and after, and the competition is not very high. A period of accumulation.

It’s just that EXO, which was originally scheduled to come back in mid-April, pushed back and pushed back the comeback date for various reasons, and it was delayed until May 5th, just a week before their infinite.

Well, I chose half a day to collide with EXO.

It’s true that they are both insiders and male idol groups, so they themselves can experience EXO’s powerful suppression and the somewhat hopeless sales volume.

Except for bigbang, other male groups’ music sources are not good. EXO is a bit better. The other male group idols are compared in terms of popularity and sales. They gather diehard fans and go on tour to make money.

The others are in the tens of thousands, with sales of 10,000+, they are already considered very good and powerful first-line boy groups. At the top, there are bigbang and SJ with 30 to [-]. This kind of top-level team is no longer comparable to the ordinary ones. The first-line male idol has doubled the distance.

But this EXO started with hundreds of thousands of pre-sales, and broke the record of millions of sales at every turn. This kind of numbers that they didn't dare to imagine before appeared on XO again and again.

Who can stand this?
During the hottest period of XO's "Roar" period last year, there were dozens of boy groups, large and small, who either returned or debuted in the second half of the year, but most of them were not splashed at all, except for a few Except for one or two regiments, all of them are unemployed upon debut.

Because most of the core fan groups of boy groups at that time, women in the [-]th and [-]th generations were fans of EXO and listened to "Roar", which caused no one to pay attention to the songs of other boy groups.

Then there was a rumor in the circle:

'The men's group comes back and meets EXO...it's equal to no comeback. '

It must be exaggerated to say it, but it is also the collective blood and tear accusation of those male idols who have no splash after they return to amateurs.

Infinite is also considered a first-line boy group. Even if the regular second album comes back, it is impossible to make no noise. At least they also have their own regular fan base.

But every member wants to get it, and hitting XO will definitely greatly affect the results this time.

Not to mention the momentum of xo's comeback this time, just a mini album is already so scary, with a pre-sale of 78 copies...

assi...

"By the way, how much do we pre-sell now?" Kim Myung-soo broke the silence and raised his head to ask.

It's just that he seemed to be asking the wrong question, and the surrounding area became a little quieter as soon as the words came out, and the sound of heavy breathing could already be heard clearly in everyone's ears.

After a while, I don't know who replied:
"Thirty to forty thousand... I didn't look carefully."

"..."

...............

After a day of fermentation, on May 5, they had already occupied many website news and many SNS pages.

24 hours after the official release of XO's comeback album, the statistical effect has reached 11, of which the Korean version sold more than 6696 copies, officially breaking the previous single-day sales record of the album held by bigbang due to the data delay.

And if the previous pre-sales are included, the total sales volume of "overdose" this time is close to 90 copies, and it is only one step away from breaking through one million sales.

The music source is even more interesting. In the real-time charts of several charts, in addition to the six songs of the original Korean version sweeping the top six, Xia Wen's version of "Addicted" and other three songs were also topped. Ranked in the top nine.

Although it will definitely not last long, this kind of speechless scene also proves that the explosive power of their sound source is too strong, and the fans are really too powerful. This list makes people don't know what to say.

The Korean version of the official MV on Youtube has been played more than 270 million times in one day, and the Xiawen version has been played 150 million times in one day.

The number of hits of the title song is obviously not as good as that of the prelude song "dope", and it is not outstanding compared with other results. This is also one of the shortcomings of EXO all the time.
However, this kind of speechless sales figures and the explosive popularity of the results have led to extensive discussions on major music forums.

As for the popularity of idols, being a fan is naturally an honor. XO fans are also in an endless carnival at this time. Various achievement posts and battle report posters appear on all Kpop-related forums. Seeing similar messages, I feel so overbearing for a while.

In addition to excitement, there are also many new fans, new fans who really like the songs of this album, and old fans who are relieved by the success of XO's comeback.

"I announced that EXO is the new generation of TOP group, no one should dispute it.
