Chapter 25: A Crazy Outburst

On March 31, youtube, MelOn, Itunes and other musical websites joined forces with hook USA to release the trailer for the third wave of "boyfriend".

The third wave of trailers mainly revealed the first rap part of "boyfriend".

Jin Shenghan's slightly magnetic voice seemed to be full of magic.

“IfIwasyourboyfriend,I’dneverletyougo.” (If I were your boyfriend, I would never let you go)

“Icantakeyouplacesyouain’tneverbeenbefore.” (I'll take you to places you haven't been)

"Babytakeachanceoryou'll never know ......" (honey, you will never know if you don't give it a try......)

On April 2, the final wave of trailers for "Boyfriend" was announced, presenting a song in its entirety for the first time, and the gorgeous trailer also attracted a lot of views.

Curious fans, as well as fans who supported Kim Sung-han from the beginning, finally enjoyed a full part of a rap and chorus for the first time.

This style similar to hip-hop has not only attracted many American fans, but also attracted more than a million people around the world, and the first one-minute audio was downloaded more than 100,000 times in 24 hours.

At the same time, all sorts of reviews poured in. If it had been in writing, it would have been able to overwhelm the offices of the US branch of the hook. 《boyfriend》。 The trailer and preview version of this song have gained enough attention and coverage for Kim Sung-han.

So, Kim Sung-han fought in South Korea. It's really nothing on the American side! The momentum of "Boyfriend" is really good now, and even some big-name singers are beginning to pay attention and be curious.

Kim Sung-han returned to the United States in a fit of rage, temporarily putting Jessica's affairs behind him and working hard under various notices. Suddenly, I found out that the pictorial that was included in the album that I shot before was not good enough, and there were not many types.

In addition, the voice of the United States and even the world is very remarkable. The big white MBC and Mnet reported. These two TV stations that chose hook at the beginning have a rare tacit understanding.

Hook privately injected a part of the funds into MBC, and after obtaining a certain amount of shares, it not only relieved the pressure on MBC's internal capital chain, but also got deeper cooperation, which seems to be better than Mnet.

Now that "Boyfriend" is in a good situation, the music in the audition version is almost half of the whole song released! So the effect can be imagined, hook is almost calm now, so dare to withdraw funds. Inject MBC. Things were discussed very quickly and did not alarm either side of SBS and KBS.

SBS has been watching, and unlike KBS, SBS is close to most artist companies. I don't have a good relationship with the hook company, but I've always kept in touch. In particular, SBS after the end of "The Birth of a Family". used "Birth of a Family 2" as a temporary stage, but privately began to plan a new variety show. This variety show already has a rough prototype.

However, the current "Birth of a Family 2" has hired a group of popular idols. Although the ratings are much more embarrassing than when Yoo Jae-seok was there, Yu Ze Yan at 2PM and Lin Yuna from Girls' Generation are currently playing a fixed role in it. Earlier, SBS also sent an invitation to Kim Sung-han, but Kim Sung-han refused

As for KBS, the conflict with YG is becoming clearer and clearer, and it is much more careful to get along with companies with heads and faces such as S.M and hook, and although the incident broke out, KBS has been slow to comment. At the moment the internal crisis of KBS is also serious, and it seems that there is a posture of strike.

Therefore, after the results came out, the South Korean media were still overwhelmingly publicizing, as if the incident of Kim Sung-han angrily beating 2PM Yuze-chan did not happen.

At 12 noon on April 9, Kim Sung-han's latest album "Mine" first released the first title track "boyfriend".

The full version of the MV, full of the MV of the beautiful women of the incense car, is full of rhythm and rhythm, as well as the cool dance steps that appear in the MV, and quickly entered the entries of major websites after the announcement.

The full version of the sound source, with a duration of 2 minutes and 52 seconds, is like a whirlwind, quickly sweeping the major music websites.

Of course, the explosion of results came when nearly 24 hours after the release, and a storm that people felt unimaginable came.

In less than 24 hours after its release, the song "Boyfriend" topped the download charts in 32 countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Brazil, and Japan. It has become the song of the most topped countries in history.

After such a report card flew back to South Korea, it was quickly swept away, because Kim Sung-han was a singer who went out of South Korea, and the local reaction was also quite intense. Music source sites such as Melon and Mcountdown also quickly reached the top in less than 1 hour after the release of the new song.

The entry "Kim Sung-han "boyfriend" quickly became one of the Naver real-time search lists, and Kim Sung-han, who was still ranked fourth, beat Yuze-yan, and quickly rolled out of the top ten in less than six hours.

Immediately after "boyfriend", new songs of "Mine" were announced one after another, among them, Kim Sung-han's own "thatshouldbeme" and the company's "latingirl" are also extremely popular.

Kim Sung-han's name, Korean name, English name, Chinese name, and Roman alphabet name have been pinned to the top of music websites in various countries. There are many music websites that have made special features for this "Mine".

Kim Sung-han is very busy, not only taking on BBC, MTV, Billboard and a certain TV station in New York, but also conducting TV-style promotion for more than 50 music websites around the world.

However, the results of "Mine" are really good, and they almost frighten Jin Shenghan!

In the first-week results announced on the official website of Billboard, "Boyfriend" topped the list of 521,000 airborne downloads in the first week, becoming the second most downloaded in the first week in history, the fourth highest number of downloads in a single week, and the second most downloads in non-holiday weeks. And in the radio broadcast chart of the first week of this single, it ranked 24th in the first week, with 40 million listeners.

In the 21-year history of the radio charts, only two male singers have surpassed this number in the first week of their new songs: 2004's Eminem's "JustLoseIt", which had 52 million first-week listeners, and Jackson's 1991's "BlackorWhite" which had 41 million first-week listeners. Boyfriend also made history on the "pop chart" with 40 mainstream radio broadcasts as standard. With 3,961 playbacks in the first week, it became the highest record for the first week of release of a new song by a male singer on the chart in the past 20 years!

Good grades are scary! Jin Shenghan felt like he was dreaming, so he pulled the assistant and pinched himself to see if it was true.

No matter what, among the Asian American singers who have broken into the United States, Kim Sung-han is definitely the best singer and can be ranked among the top singers in history.

So his name appeared on various websites, appeared in various programs, and appeared in various pictorials. All kinds of magazines such as Time Magazine, whether it is fashion or interviews, are overwhelming, and they want to swallow Kim Sung-han alive.

The song "Mine" attracted a huge number of European and American fans for Kim Sung-han, and just one week after the album was released, Kim Sung-han collected money for himself that he couldn't earn for six years when he was S.M in South Korea. And, for the company, the profits from the sale of this album have been offsetting the company's expenses at a rate visible to the naked eye. (To be continued......)
