Chapter Ninety-Nine: Strike While the Iron Is Hot

In June 2004, Prince's popularity began to slowly increase. The number of official fanclubs is rising, the number of announcements and invitations is increasing, and some event endorsements are also coming.

Prince's popularity has not yet reached the height of a first-line group, but it has been growing steadily!

In order to take advantage of this popularity, Ai Hui struck while the iron was hot and continued to record singles for the prince group in June.

June was a busy month for Prince, not only participating in various announcements and CF shoots, but also participating in the recording of new songs.

Prince and Ai Hui were on a four-year contract until April '08. However, Ai Hui is obviously much better than SM in terms of contracts! It's not just a question of income distribution, it's also a question of rest time. Although Ai Hui Company is also a naked capitalist money-absorbing weapon, they still understand that the most important thing for an artist with the ability to attract money is good health, and only good health can continue to attract money!

One day off a month is much better than just five days a year at SM! And the five days of SM company may not be realized, there are always such and such excuses to exploit your rest time, and the desperate busyness brings you little benefit at all!

In Japan, Ai Hui is much better, although the schedule is tight, and I can't sleep long in a day, but it is much better than the trip arranged by SM company!

In order to continue this hard-won momentum, Ai Hui Records has selected a new Japanese single "proud" for Prince to record!

On June 7, the five of Prince recorded in the studio, and this time Jun Tachida helped to record.

In the recording studio, Kim Sung-han wore headphones, looked at the members outside, and then extended their thumbs to each other to cheer them on.

The sound of music in the headphones came out, and Kim Sung-han lowered his head and began to brew emotions into the microphone.

"I'm too anxious to walk by, no matter what the season, I'll like it!" Warm and delicate, the sound seems to have the power to capture the soul and is full of charm, and this is the sound that is deeply loved by Jun Tachida No.

"We met in this city, and I can't forget that day!" At the climax of the first chorus, Kim Sung-han's outburst voice contained charming emotions, and even Jun Tateda was deeply attracted to it!

"The two emotions that have been regained have met the same miracle as you again!"

"I still have to protect this love, so I start thinking about it!"

"In this city, we met, and now we can't forget that day!"

"Ah~~"

In the end, a rainbow treble burst out full of charm, you must know that there are only two people in the entire SM company who have rainbow trebles, Kim Sung-han and Kim Jae-jung. Both are the lead singers of the group, and their enthusiasm for singing can be called soul singers.

After the recording, Jin Shenghan walked out of the recording studio, and as soon as he came out, a burst of applause rang out.

Jun Taidano took the lead in applauding, and even the other members of Prince were deeply immersed in Kim Sung-han's singing. Could it be an emotional outburst, every song of Kim Sung-han is full of emotion, and the members clearly feel the slightly sad anticipation emotion!

Teammates even have question marks in their heads: What happened to him and Lee Yeon-hee?

"It's good, your voice is full of emotion, it's good." Li Tianye is full of praise, the more he looks at Jin Shenghan, the more satisfied he is, not only is he excellent on the outside, but even his singing skills and etiquette are high, he can really be regarded as a person who is the same on the outside!

"Thank you, teacher!" Jin Shenghan bowed down and said, all these feelings come from his heart, the more he stays away, the more he misses, relatives, friends, and people he cares about!

"Okay, Kang Eun-chan, it's time for you to record!" Taidano Jun said to Kang Eun-chan, and then sat back in his seat.

"Go ahead! Come on! The members clapped their hands and whispered encouragement.

"Hmm!" Kang Eun-chan walked into the recording studio, through the window, wearing headphones, and began to brew emotions!

Jin Shenghan sat next to Litian Yechun, there are very few opportunities for this kind of observation, and what he learned from Yu Yongzhen is only the characteristics of Yu Yongzhen, Jin Shenghan wants to master a broader place!

Looking at the lines that appeared on the computer, Jin Shenghan wore headphones and listened carefully. Jiang Eun-chan's condition is also very good, the recording is relatively smooth, although it is not done in one go, but after the teaching of Tachida Yejun, he quickly entered the best state.

This recording is a relatively fast one, everyone is in a better state, the recording ended at about two o'clock in the afternoon, and the post-production and processing were completed by Kim Sung-han and Tachida Nojun together.

On June 13, Ai Hui announced the second single of Prince and officially started the second wave of Prince's promotional activities.

On the first day, the MV for the song "Proud" was frantically clicked as soon as it was announced. The single "Proud" sold nearly 10,000 copies on the first day.

In a week, "Proud" also successfully squeezed into the top 100 of the public trust list, and the previous "No Words" has also been hitting the top 50.

In the second week, "Proud" sold 210,000 copies, "Proud" ranked 59th, and "No Words Required" managed to squeeze into the top 50, occupying the 43rd position.

Entering the third week, because of the crazy publicity of more than 20 days, "Proud" ranked 37th on the public credit list, "No Words Needed" continued to occupy the 40th position, and the single "No Words Needed" has sold 370,000, and the single "Proud" has sold an astonishing 490,000.

The number of official Japanese fanclubs has exceeded 100,000.

On July 7, Prince's third Japanese single "Fire" was officially released, selling 15,000 copies on the first day and entering the top 100 of the public charts on the first day. At this time, "Proud" managed to occupy the top 20 position, reaching the 17th place. On this day, in South Korea, SBS, KBS, and MBC all reported on the impressive achievements of the Prince group in Japan, three singles entered the Japanese public trust chart at the same time, two of which were in the top 50, one of which was already in the top 20, and the single "fire" released on the same day entered the top 100 of the public trust chart on the first day.

The South Korean media described Prince as "the proudest boy group in Korea today" and "a boy group that has successfully established itself in Japan".

A South Korean website conducted a vote on the popularity of the men's group, Prince won the first place with a high score of nearly 40%, far behind the group behind him, the mythical group ranked second with 25% of the votes, and the third place was TVXQ, which just debuted this year, with a vote rate of nearly 20%, even surpassing the old boy group GOD, this year's TVXQ has the momentum to become the second Prince!

It's also worth mentioning that each member of Prince gets one of the various surveys!

In the boy group: "idol who wants to play with the snow together the most in winter", "idol who wants to date together the most in winter", "idol who wants to hold hands together the most", "idol who wants to listen to him sing in the quiet late night", "idol who is satisfied when you look at it", "idol who is most like Prince Charming"... It all fell on Kim Sung-han's head.

"The idol who wants to play games together", "The idol who wants to travel together" and "The idol who is impressive" are Gu Hee-hyun.

Ahn Sung-min also won the "Best Idol to Wear a Hat", "The Idol Who Most Wants to Have Cake Together", and "The Idol Who Most Wants to Have a Picnic Together by the Lake......

Kang Eun-chan and Lee Jun-hwan are also various ones. Nowadays, in all the good aspects of the survey, almost all the five Prince are on the list.

During this time, because of the achievements in Japan, the popularity of South Korea has also risen, and Prince's elves have once again gone out and become popular on the Internet. At the beginning, the photos of the Year of the Monkey and Ma Yue were turned out, and then they were praised by fans, and the momentum on the Internet was so great that other fans basically didn't think about black princes, and they would be drowned out if they weren't careful!

Especially in the past, in order to promote TVXQ five, the photos of Prince and TVXQ were also taken out, and even the conversations on the Internet were screenshotted, so even TVXQ has benefited a lot, and it is a popular new boy group in itself, coupled with the east wind brought by Prince, the number of fans of TVXQ has increased again.

There is one thing that is known among the fairy queen and the elves, that is, the two combinations of Prince and TVXQ have joined each other's fanclubs, reflecting the good relationship between the two groups, so the relationship between the fairy queen of the red family and the elves of the purple red family is also very good.

For the boom caused by Prince during this time, SM is naturally happy to see it, so why not be happy to drive the popularity of the two groups!

In Japan, Prince is also starting to grow in popularity, with invitations to various events and performances coming one after another.

The elves in Japan are getting to know Prince's five big boys more and more, and the materials, videos, fan names, slogans, and support items in South Korea have all been turned out.

Kim Sung-han's creative talent is also known to fans, although those Korean songs can't be understood, but just listening to the music is a good feeling, and some fans have proposed to translate Korean songs into Japanese songs, although there are plans, but Prince can't do it for the time being.

The CP pairing in Prince is also known to fans, and this kind of CP pairing, which existed during the HOT period, is very popular among fans. Especially Kim Sung-han turned out to be the 10,000-year-old recipient in the group, even when he was with Ahn Sung-min. Unlike Korean fans who like Minhan cp, Japanese fans like Chanhan cp and Hyun Min cp, although Gu Hee-hyun is not the most handsome and cute in the group, but his popularity among Japanese fans is not low at all, and in Prince's group popularity ranking, he is closely followed by Kim Sung-han and Ahn Sung-min.

The captain of Lee Junhuan is affectionately called the Huan team by fans because of his relatively upright appearance.

On July 23rd, Prince will hold their first fan signing session, although there have been autograph sessions before, but they are all made up after some events, this time it is simply for the fans!
