On March 9, the title song of SuperJunior's album "Sorry, Sorry" was publicly released on major music source websites.

On March 12, SuperJunior's third album "Sorry, Sorry" began to be officially released in major channels.

On March 13th, SuperJunior performed its first live song performance at KBS-MusicBank.

……

SuperJunior's promotional activities have been going on steadily, but the results obtained are far from meeting S.M's expectations and far less than Park Sun-ho's optimistic estimates.

After the official release of the title song of SuperJunior's new album "Sorry, Sorry" on the Internet, although it has received strong popularity and strong support from many fans of SuperJunior, it has not been well evaluated in the hearts of some music professionals and some fans who like to listen to songs. Sorry, Sorry" is not music at all.

From the official release of "Sorry, Sorry" on March 9 to the first live song on March 13, for more than half a month, the song "Sorry, Sorry" did not win any awards in the music programs of the three major Korean TV stations, and the online and offline sales of the new album did not meet the results expected by S.M.

Faced with the reality that this is completely inconsistent with expectations, S.M will inevitably be a little disappointed.

In S.M's expectations, "Sorry, Sorry", a song that is as easy to learn and sing as Girls' Generation's "Gee", but with a stronger sense of rhythm and more toxic melody, will definitely cause a sensation in Korea after its release, becoming another hit song launched by S.M, and bringing the group SuperJunior to another new level while the album is a big hit, but the truth of the truth is that it was slapped hard by reality.

Affected by this, as the songwriter of the song "Sorry, Sorry", Li Zheng is also not immune to criticism. Especially because of the rumor incident on the Internet last time, some Anti members who thought that Li Zheng deliberately hyped up and were disgusted with Li Zheng even left messages on major forums on the Internet, belittling Li Zheng while ironically advising Li Zheng to act seriously, and if he has no talent, he should do less of such immeasurable things.

The song did not achieve the expected results, which not only disappointed S.M, but also for iHQ, which was planning to make Li Zheng's identity as a songwriter the focus of the promotion, had to be slightly delayed, and the publicity funds were also greatly reduced.

Although all this also had an impact on Lee Zheng, his psychological expectations were not high, so he didn't care, but Park Sun-ho seemed extremely angry and a little angry.

"What do those self-righteous bullshit professionals know? They know bullshit! They even say Junhyuk, your songs aren't music at all. Do you think you can represent everyone with a professional name? At least to my ears, Junhyuk's songs have a strong sense of rhythm, simple melodies, are catchy, and easy to learn and sing. Those classic songs that have been handed down from ancient times to the present, which do not contain these elements.

How can a song so easy to learn and catchy not be music? The people who say you don't understand music are the real music idiots. Don't worry, Junhyuk, anyway, no matter what other people think, I think your songs are classic and good. ”

"Brother Seon-ho, thank you. Actually, you don't have to be so angry, to be honest, I really don't care too much about those criticisms. ”

Although he is very grateful to Park Sun-ho for his support, Lee Jung really doesn't care about those opposing voices.

"Sorry, Sorry" is just a new attempt at electronic dance music that combines American electronic music and Korean pop trends, and it is just an experimental work, so he didn't fully expect the song to become a sensation after its release and sell well in the Korean music market.

Moreover, as a songwriter, it is not the first time that he has experienced the songs he creates that are not recognized and have few reactions. Whether it was written in South Korea before or in the United States later, there are more than one songs that have received an average response after they are released, so Li Zheng really doesn't care about those.

After all, songwriting depends on market demand and popular trends, no songwriter can guarantee that every song he writes will sell well, Li Zheng is not God, he is not so arrogant. Moreover, even if it is God, not everything he creates is liked by man.

"Junhyuk, I know you, you don't care much about it, but you still care about it in your heart. If it were me, if the song I wrote was scolded as bullshit, I would definitely not feel good in my heart. However, Brother Shanhao can understand you, man, there are a few manly men who don't care about face, even if they really fail, they must not admit defeat, don't worry, these Brother Shanhao understand, I won't talk nonsense. ”

Listening to Park Sun-ho's generous statement, with a look of "everyone is a man, I understand you", Li Zheng took a deep breath, looked at Park Sun-ho seriously and said, "Brother Sun-ho, what I said is true, I really don't care." ”

"Okay, I know, I know, I know you don't care. Don't worry, Junhyuk, Brother Seonho is also from here, I understand. I understand both. ”

In the face of Park Sun-ho's understanding and understanding, Lee Jung was speechless again, so he had to express his gratitude to Park Sun-ho in silence.

The sun rises and sets, and time passes.

As the calendar turns to late March, the temperature gradually stabilizes, and the weather in Seoul is no longer as different from morning to evening as it was in early spring.

Shortly after the end of filming that day, Lee Jung suddenly received a call from Park Seung-deok, saying that he was asking him to go to a barbecue restaurant called "678" in Sinsa-dong, saying that he had a few friends who wanted to introduce him.

Hearing the "678" barbecue restaurant, Li Zheng couldn't help but think of a person, this person is the famous host and funny artist Jiang Hudong, who is known as the three mountains of Korean variety shows along with Liu Jae-seok and Kim Ji-dong.

Jiang Hudong, a famous Korean host, a funny artist, a former professional wrestler, was persuaded by Lee Kyung-kui to join the entertainment industry after retiring, and has successively hosted well-known variety shows at home and abroad such as "X-man", "Love Letter", "Night Heart", "Two Days and One Night", etc., and has a high prestige in the Korean variety show industry.

"678" barbecue restaurant is a chain of barbecue restaurants operated by Jiang Hudong since 2003, the name of the barbecue restaurant is "Jiang Hudong 678", the meat is delicious, the price is moderate, and because Jiang Hudong's fame in South Korea and many friends in the entertainment industry often come to the store to cheer, so the "678" barbecue restaurant is famous in Seoul, and there are not many people who know it.

Walking into the barbecue restaurant, the first thing Li Zheng noticed was the celebrity photos and personal signatures posted everywhere on the walls of the store.

Seeing Li Zheng enter the door, the waiter immediately came over attentively, and after Li Zheng explained the situation, he took Li Zheng to the door of the private room that Park Chengde told him on the phone.
