There are a total of six TV singing shows in South Korea, one every day from Tuesday to Sunday, of which the four are more well-known and influential from Thursday to Sunday.

Today is Thursday, and the music source of Xiao Yao's song "Expectation" to Gstar was launched on several music source websites in South Korea in the early hours of this morning, and their singing journey began on Friday.

Xiao Yao is not from KM Entertainment, Gstar goes to the TV station's singing show, Xiao Yao does not need to be accompanied. Xiao Yao went to SBS TV station to do a rehearsal with the program team was arranged on Saturday afternoon, and after recording his songs on Thursday and Friday, Xiao Yao had some free time on Saturday morning, so he contacted another acquaintance in South Korea, the Korean singer Liu Youyuan, who he met on "Singer", and went to pay a visit.

Yoo Woo-won is a very powerful singer-type singer who belongs to a South Korean entertainment company called YPL. In addition to being an artist of the company, he also serves as the company's music director and vocal teacher.

After receiving Xiao Yao's call, Liu Youyuan, who was working in the company, directly invited Xiao Yao to meet in their company.

When Xiao Yao arrived at Liu Youyuan's company, Liu Youyuan was already waiting at the door of the company very politely. The relationship between Xiao Yao and Liu Youyuan is not as familiar as Hong Xiuyan, but the two have been together for a long time on "Singer", and the relationship is quite good.

After a warm hug and greeting, Liu Youyuan also took Xiao Yao for a brief visit in the company. YPL is a medium-sized entertainment company in South Korea, the scale cannot be compared with KM, there is no overseas branch, let alone the head office, the company is just a five-story building, it looks far less magnificent than KM's headquarters building.

After walking around, Xiao Yao found that this company is "small but complete", and the company's internal environment and facilities are still very good.

After taking Xiao Yao for a brief tour of the company, Liu Youyuan brought Xiao Yao into his office, and the two also chatted about some of their recent situations.

Liu Youyuan participated in "Singer" because he intentionally wanted to open his market in Huaxia, and after "Singer" ended, he also participated in some activities in Huaxia, but his development as a Korean in Huaxia was not particularly smooth, so after almost half a year, Liu Youyuan didn't go to Huaxia much.

However, although Liu Youyuan's development in China has not been smooth, and he has hardly gone to China for more than a year, Liu Youyuan has always paid attention to Xiao Yao, who impressed him the most on "Singer" back then. The two did not completely cut off contact after "Singer", and occasionally contacted to greet each other, so Xiao Yao came to South Korea this time and thought of visiting Liu Youyuan.

Liu Youyuan knew that Xiao Yao's main purpose for coming to South Korea this time was to participate in the film festival, and when chatting, he first smiled and recalled the old things when Xiao Yao emphasized that he was an actor in the "Singer" program several times, which made Hong Wei unhappy.

However, Liu Youyuan is a singer and has not set foot in the film and television industry, so he didn't talk too much about film and television and Xiao Yao's identity as an actor.

"Xiao Yao, the new song "Expectation" by the KM company girl group Gstar is your work, right? I listened to it, and it feels very good!" Liu Youyuan praised Xiao Yao with a smile.

Talking about music, Liu Youyuan naturally talked about Xiao Yao helping KM's Gstar write songs. As an artist and manager of a Korean entertainment company, Yoo Woo-won must be very concerned about things in the Korean music industry. The song "Expectation" written by Xiao Yao for Gstar has been launched on the music source website, and the songwriters of this song are all Xiao Yao's English names, and it is impossible for Liu Youyuan not to notice it.

"Thank you, Brother Youyuan!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"It seems that you are very good at writing Korean songs, I wonder if there are any other Korean songs in your hand?" Liu Youyuan continued, "There is a girl group in our company that is preparing to debut, and we are looking for songs for them recently, but we haven't found too many satisfactory songs yet." ”

"Brother You Yuan is looking for me to invite songs?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Well," Liu Youyuan nodded, "When I participated in the show in Huaxia that year, I was very impressed by your creative talent. Suyeonxi's "Thorn Tree" and RedSilk's "alone" are both your Korean works, and I actually had a plan to ask you to invite you to sing, but I just thought that you were here to participate in the film festival this time, and there may be a lot of activities, so I didn't want to disturb you, so I originally wanted to contact you after the film festival was over to talk about it. But you took the initiative to contact me today and came here again, so I'll officially tell you. ”

"So I sent it myself?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"So to speak. Liu Youyuan nodded with a smile.

"I want to explain first that the copyright of my song works is generally in my own hands, and I authorize singers or other companies to cooperate in the form of revenue sharing. Xiao Yao first emphasized, "But don't worry, I generally don't give a song to two singers or groups that are in direct competition at the same time." ”

"There is no problem with this," Liu Youyuan said with a smile, "We are not a giant company like KM, and the sharing model is acceptable." ”

"Well, we have the prerequisites for cooperation. But if there's a suitable song, I'm not sure. Xiao Yao nodded and continued to ask, "Do you want a song like "Expectation" for the girl group? By the way, by the way, I also made up the dance for Gstar to perform this song, do you need me to make up a dance to match the song?"

"You also choreographed their dances?" Liu Youyuan was surprised for a moment, and then stretched out his thumb and said, "I watched Gstar's comeback stage at the Music Bank yesterday, and that strap dance is great!

"But I don't need a song like that, I don't need a dance like that. Liu Youyuan continued, "To be honest, the girl group that our company is going to launch is not the same as the style of Gstar, and it is also different from the style of many mainstream girl groups in South Korea. ”

"It's different from other girl groups?" Xiao Yao repeated suspiciously.

"Well," Liu Youyuan nodded, "The girl group we are going to launch is called SYS..."

"Wait, what did you say their group was called?" Xiao Yao interrupted.

"SYS!" Liu Youyuan replied, suddenly remembering the business card that Xiao Yao gave him, and said with a smile, "There are only three members of this group, and SYS is the first letter of their names." I only remembered now that your fashion brand is also these three English letters, is this the so-called fate of your Chinese people?"

"This..."Xiao Yao smiled a little speechlessly, stretched out his hand and motioned for Liu Youyuan to continue, "You still continue to talk about how they are different from other girl groups." ”

"The three of them were basically taught by me, and they are all very good in singing and perfect in harmony, but in terms of dancing, they are not very prominent. Liu Youyuan continued, "The company's positioning for them is a group that focuses on performing singing skills, and the dance aspect does not mean that there is definitely none, but it will not be the focus." The more difficult dances, they probably can't dance well. So I wanted to find songs for them that mainly reflect singing skills, preferably without dancing, and the songs alone can conquer the audience on stage. ”

"It's only singing and not dancing, it's a girl singing group, where is it still a girl group? But it seems that South Korea calls the group a group, and there may not be such a thing as a singing group. Xiao Yao thought about it in his heart, and said to Liu Youyuan with a smile, "The girl group that only sings and doesn't dance is indeed different from the mainstream Korean girl group now, and your girl group is a bit unconventional!"

"Our company is different from KM, and the artists launched are all with certain characteristics. Liu Youyuan said with a smile, "Push forward more than ten or twenty years, there are also some girl groups in South Korea who are only good at singing and don't dance much." We can only say that we are anti-trend, not anti-traditional, right? Maybe, we can say that our girl group is a retro girl group?"

"Retro?" Xiao Yao's heart moved, remembering a few Korean songs from around the millennium in his previous life.

The late 90s of the 20th century to the early 21st century was the period when China was just coming into contact with Hallyu stars. Although Li Hao, who was still a high school student in his previous life, was not an early Hahan family, he was also deeply impressed by the songs of some Korean girl groups and liked them very much. Since Liu Youyuan said that he wanted to be retro, are some songs that are a little older in his previous life just right?

"I accepted the invitation to sing!" Xiao Yao thought for a while and said to Liu Youyuan, "But your girl group has not debuted yet, and there must be no performance videos of them on the Internet, I haven't even seen them in person, and I don't know how good their singing skills are, this song is not easy to write." ”

"So you want to meet them first, and you have to audition?" Liu Youyuan said, "No problem! It's not early now, I'll invite you to dinner at noon, and I'll let them come to the company to meet you in the afternoon, and arrange a recording studio for you to listen to their singing!"

"Not today," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "I'm going to rehearse and rehearse on SBS TV in the afternoon, and if it goes well, I'll go to a special stage performance on SBS TV tomorrow, and I've been busy these two days." I'll come to your company next Monday to meet with them, please arrange it for Brother Youyuan, can you?"

"Are you going to SBS TV for a special stage performance, 'Popular Ballads'?" Liu Youyuan was surprised.

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded and smiled, "What's the matter? Brother Youyuan can go to sing on our Huaxia "Singer", can't I go to your Korean TV show to sing?"

"Of course not," Liu Youyuan said with a smile, "It's just that there are more popular idols on the singing show." We also have a "Singer" program in South Korea, and people like you should go to a program like "Singer" to compare with those singers!"

"I've already participated in Huaxia's "Singer", so the Korean version shouldn't be much different, right? Xiao Yao said with a smile, "And I estimate that I will only stay in South Korea for about two weeks at most, and I can only go to the singing show once, but if I participate in "Singer", it will take a few months!"

"That's right!" Liu Youyuan nodded with a smile, "I wish you a successful performance in the singing show and successfully get one!"

"Brother, my Korean songs haven't been released, I went to a special stage, and I didn't participate in the selection of the show!" Xiao Yao smiled helplessly.

"Huh?" Liu Youyuan smiled embarrassedly and changed his words, "Then I wish your performance success and attract a large number of fans in South Korea!"

After the work was agreed, the two chatted for a while. At noon, Liu Youyuan insisted on inviting Xiao Yao to lunch, and Xiao Yao did not refuse. After lunch, Xiao Yao said goodbye to Liu Youyuan and went back to the hotel to rest a little. After the staff sent by KM came to the hotel, Xiao Yao went to SBS TV under the leadership of KM staff to conduct a rehearsal and rehearsal of the special stage of "Popular Songs".

Xiao Yao prepared a very popular Korean song for the special stage of this show, the quality is not to say, Xiao Yao's performance is also very good, the program team passed smoothly and agreed to Xiao Yao's special stage performance on Sunday.

Sunday SBS's "Popular Ballads" is a program on Gstar's singing schedule, Xiao Yao's participation in this program is specially recommended by KM Entertainment Company to the TV station, whether it is to go to the rehearsal rehearsal or formal performance, you need to be accompanied by KM Entertainment Company, so on Sunday afternoon, Xiao Yao and Gstar's five girls went to the TV station together.

As a girl group that has debuted, Gstar arranged an exclusive nanny car when she came out to run the trip. Although there is still room for their nanny car, and Xiao Yao can be stuffed again, Xiao Yao is a guest and partner of KM Entertainment Company after all, so KM Company also prepared a nanny car for Xiao Yao.

Although they didn't sit in the same car, they came together after all, and Xiao Yao's participation in the show this time was also a KM person in a sense, so after Gstar's nanny car arrived first, the five girls did not get out of the car immediately and entered the TV station, but deliberately waited until Xiao Yao's car arrived before getting out of the car, and came over to walk with Xiao Yao to the gate of the TV station.

“Gstar!”

“Gstar!”

When the group walked to the door of the TV station, some fans waiting at the door of the TV station held various cheering signs and shouted loudly.

In South Korea, it is not uncommon for fans to wait for idols in front of artist companies, let alone in front of TV stations. The recording time of "Popular Ballads" is not a secret, almost every week at this time, there will be fans waiting here to meet their idols, and recently run a song show, and the itinerary has been announced to fans a long time ago, so it is not surprising that there are their fans here.

"Thank you!" the five girls said as they saw fans shouting for support, paused and smiled and bowed and waved to them.

"Yuni, can I shake your hand?" a young man among the fans suddenly stretched out his hands and shouted.

The young man looked to be only about twenty years old, and he was dressed like a student. Yuni saw that his face was a little red, and he seemed to be a little shy and nervous, and he was the only one in the entire fan base who made a request, so she smiled and nodded, and walked towards the boy.

When the young man saw Yuni coming over, he shouted excitedly, and his hands, which had been palms downward, stood up, and his right hand stretched out to Yuni was closed.

Seeing that the young man's hands were about to hold Yuni's right hand, someone next to him suddenly reached out and grabbed the young man's right wrist, and then twisted it hard behind his back.

"Ah~" The young man's right hand was twisted behind him, and he immediately screamed loudly.

"Ahh After looking up and seeing that the person who twisted the right hand of the fan in front of him was Xiao Yao, he immediately said loudly with questioning: "Xiao Yaoxi, what are you doing?!"

"Hehe, I didn't expect to come to South Korea for the first time to participate in a TV show, and I saw a phenomenon unique to the Korean entertainment industry!" Xiao Yao smiled, did not answer Yuni, but turned to Pei Minyi and said, "Minyi, take out your mobile phone to take a video, and take a close-up slap of his hand, lest someone say that I hit someone for no reason!"

"Hand?" Yuni and the others curiously glanced at the man's right hand, and immediately exclaimed in shock, "Blade?! Oh my God, Anti!"
