Chapter 65: "Lies" VS "Tellme"
In the blazing August sun, with Choi Jun-seok's "That Man" bidding farewell to the stage, many singers have returned. On August 17th, YG's five-member group Bigbang, which has been boasting of their idol power, released their mini album "ALWAYS", in which the title song "Lies", composed and written by captain Kwon Ji-ryong himself, caused a storm in the Korean music market.
Even HANTEO, one of Korea's leading music charts, and other online and offline music album sales charts such as CYWORD have been strongly impacted, and there is a momentum to challenge the sales champion "Unpicky Song Festival Festival" for some time. However, the terrifying sales volume of 49W sheets of "Song Festival" made many people not optimistic about "ALWAYS", not because they can't do it, but because the enemy is too strong ^_^
However, the title song "Lies" has qualified to challenge like the hit song "That Man" in July. Released on the 17th, on the 18th, it officially participated in KBS's music bank and began the hit chart of "Lies". With a strong hiphop style, sad lyrics, a toxic melody, and a delicate MV, it was wildly sought after by fans as soon as it hit the shelves, and it sold 30,000 copies in just one week.
YG's boss Yang Hyun Suk immediately ended his other trips to the outside world and went all out to hit the "Lies" chart. Under the full operation of YG, MBC Music Center MobileRanking ranked 1st in the first week - Lies, CYWORLD8 Song of the Month Award - Lies, "Lies" became the fastest song to win the "Song of the Month" (SongOfTheMonth) award in the cyworld digital music rankings, and even Choi Jun-seok's "That Man" was compared to "That Man", and was ranked in MELON, DOXIRA, JUKEON and other online popularity charts have achieved the first place, and it is literally spreading like a lie, and it is unstoppable. Therefore, Kwon Zhilong, Bigbang, and "Lies" have been soaring like rockets in their attention on never, and have received strong attention from all netizens. "Lies," which was released in mid-to-late August, sold 127,000 copies a month, and the album sold 203,000 copies in September, reaching a total of 330,000 copies in six weeks.
With a full-time idol group like Bigbang being much more effective than Choi Jun-seok in terms of promotion, "Lies" was unbeatable in mid-to-late August with its dazzling styling, intense dancing, hot stage, and the operation of a professional entertainment company like YG. Every time I hit the list, the overwhelming VIP crown lights make people feel pressured.
In mid-to-late August, Bigbang, a hip-hop group that symbolizes the Big Bang, exploded with tremendous energy, and the song "Lies" beat Choi Joon-seok's "That Man" in a style that is more in line with mainstream Korean music, and was revered as the Divine Comedy by do-gooders. And as a composer and lyricist, Kwon Zhilong is even more known as a 'genius composer', (these things are really not very valuable~) Some media compare him with Choi Jun-seok, the two are also singer-songwriters, and their ages are so similar, and because Kwon Zhilong in 88 is one year younger than Choi Jun-seok in 87, some media have ulterior motives to think that Kwon Zhilong is better. In the end, some media also deliberately ran to interview Choi Jun-seok and Kwon Ji-ryong.
Fortunately, Kwon Zhilong was not carried away by the popularity of the outbreak, and when answering reporters' questions, he still modestly said that he was a junior, and Cui Junxi's predecessor was a role model for him to learn, avoiding a war of words in the entertainment industry. Faced with the inexplicable comparison, Choi Jun-seok couldn't cry or laugh, he was really shot while lying down.
The fire of "Lies" made Bigbang directly ascend to the position of a first-line boy group, and it is another popular group after TVXQ, ss501, and superjunior, and its unique hiphop style is in the limelight for a while, and it seems that it is about to reproduce the crazy phenomenon caused by Choi Jun-seok in July, which makes the singers who finally survived until Choi Jun-seok bid farewell to the stage and came out to catch his breath again scolded his mother, which made us not live. The major entertainment companies could only grit their teeth and move the return stage of their artists back to the stage one after another, and even SM postponed the release time of SJ's regular 2nd album. This disappointed the media and other entertainment companies that wanted to watch superjunior and Bigbang fight. …,
However, what is surprising is that at a time when Bigbang is raging in the world of music and no one dares to fight. The regrouped wondergirls bravely stepped out of the challenge. After Kim Hyun-ah withdrew, JYP absorbed Kim Yubin, a girl from Gwangju, whose super RAP ability filled the vacancy after the departure of the little wild horse. After a short run-in period, on September 1st, five girls released their regular album "TheWonderYears" under tremendous pressure. The title song "tellme" changed the dance music style of their debut, and instead used a strong retro and cute theme as the main theme, which was criticized as 'childish' by countless musicians, who thought that Park Jin-young was afraid that he would be crazy at this time, so he asked wondergirls to challenge Bigbang in a crazy state at this time.
However, something happened that made the Korean music industry fall through the glasses, and "Tellme" first soared wildly on the music audition network, and squeezed into the top three in just one week, only below "Lies" and "That Man". After gaining enough attention, Park Zhenrong decisively arranged for Wondergirls to participate in the music center on September 8.
Crazy things happened one after another, and the five girls who thought they were hitting the stone with an egg, as soon as the scene of "TELLME" came out, it almost made the media and music critics bite off their tongues! The girls were playful, and the cute stage inexplicably scratched the howling place in the hearts of the majority of wolf friends, and instantly attracted a large group of 'male wolves'.
Especially Wondergirls' busy Neian Zhaoxi, a sentence of "omona" and the action of holding a bun face, instantly killed countless dead houses, so that countless male compatriots fell off the horse one after another, and became his willing fans, and Zhaoxi was also crowned with the title of the new "national sister", (this is not worth much)
Compared with "Lies", "Tellme" is too simple in musicality, but because it is simple and easy to sing, the repeated use of the word "tellme" increases the toxicity of the song, and with its unique dance, it has captured countless fans.
Unlike Bigbang's madness under the brick-and-mortar media, wondergirls have taken a different path and dominated the internet. Some netizens posted videos of them imitating "tellme" on the Internet, and then it went out of control, and the Internet exploded wildly, and countless dead people 'drilled' out of their nests and imitated the dance of "tellme". Soldiers, police officers, white-collar workers, office workers, students, and even many artists have begun to imitate them, and all kinds of videos have flooded the Korean Internet, and eventually formed a huge social phenomenon!
Thus, a crazy scene in the Korean music industry was born! The popular ballad "Lies", the music bank "tellme", M! Countdown, a "Lies" you sing and I appear, take turns to compete for one on the list, and the fierceness and danger of the battle seem to return to the era of the late 90s. At that time, it was the era of the rise of the Korean Wave, and it was also the most glorious era in the Korean music industry when a large number of Hallyu stars fought for their dreams.
Now, the head-to-head confrontation between the two popular groups has made the fans of the two camps the most fanatical fans in South Korea. In each music program, the support area that occupies half of the country, countless VIP crown lights and pearl wine red, it is simply the illusion that the two are separated.
Seeing this blood-boiling scene, all the media were excited, excited! They stared at these two combinations fiercely with red eyes and gasping for air, reporting everything about them every day at a stormy speed. Family, teachers, classmates, background, all a qiē, as long as the news related to them, is not afraid of no sales. It seems that the whole of Korea is paying attention to these teenagers and girls.
In this storm of national attention, Choi Jun-seok quietly ended his contract with MBC and quietly signed a contract with Yoo Jae-seok's JS Entertainment Company, breaking free from the most important shackles so far.
August 26th is the deadline for Choi Jun-seok's two-year MBC contract, and MBC, JS Entertainment, and Choi Jun-seok, who have already had a tacit understanding, completed the end and signing of the contract in a low-key manner. When Choi Jun-seok signed his name on Yoo Jae-seok's contract, he finally got rid of his identity as an exclusive MBC artist and became a freelance artist like Yoo Jae-seok.
"Uncle, please take care of me in the future. Choi Jun-seok and Yoo Jae-seok shook hands tightly.
"Don't worry, brother will never pit you. Liu Zaishi smiled.
"It's best to do this, but I'll leave my fate in my brother's hands. Choi Jun-seok muttered, "If you're sorry for me, hum"
"Ah~" Liu Zaishi couldn't cry or laugh, "What nonsense!"
"Haha ^_^"
