As Lee Jun Hyuk said before, as soon as the recording of the show attended by Martin and several people ended, well-informed reporters once again focused on Lee Jun Hyuk.
This time, they still pounced. When the reporters approached Mr. Kim, they were once again told that Mr. Lee had flown to New York. The purpose of his trip to New York was still to study, and this time it was relatively long, half a year.
It may be because the experience of the past has made these people mentally prepared, and this time after hearing Kim Jong-hyun's words, although the reporters were a little depressed, they naturally accepted the matter.
In fact, the reporters also know very well that according to Lee Jun-hyuk's usual style before, even if he did not leave South Korea, it would be extremely difficult to get an interview. From the exposure of Lee's identity to the present, except for a simple answer to a few questions at the premiere of "The Chaser", Lee Junhyuk has never been interviewed by wèn, and even the routine interview at the Baeksang Art Awards has been avoided by this kid in a way that no one has ever done before.
In just half a year, this newcomer with increasing exposure, with the increase in fame, his eccentric personality has gradually become known to more and more people. In other words, this has become a sign of him, just like his talent.
"Hmph, a newcomer, he really takes himself as a wrist, and when he goes back, he will unite with other newspapers, and there will be no news about Li Junhe in the future, and I will see if I will beg me in the future. Is the entertainment industry so easy to mix, you can do whatever you want? Dream on. Of course, not every journalist will be relieved, after leaving the BH agency. Those reporters who have a general relationship with Kim Jong-hyun or BH and some more cautious reporters began to murmur secretly.
The results have not yet waited for their union to bear any fruit. New news about Lee Jun-hyuk broke out again. And. This outbreak is still wave after wave, which is dizzying.
May 25th. Coldplay has only been on the show in South Korea for half a month before their new song was released, and the speed is staggering.
Actually, it's nothing, except for the main song "Vivalavida", the other songs have already been recorded, and if it weren't for Lee Jun-hyuk's thing, maybe they would have released it earlier.
It was on the show at the time. Martin is very confident that this song will be popular all over the world. After the album was released, his words became a reality.
Within 5 hours of the MV's announcement, it had more than one million hits on YouTube. Within 21 hours of the audio source being on the shelves, iTunes purchases rushed to the top 10. Two days later, on this week's British pop charts, Vivalavida jumped to number three. And nine days later, on the second weekend of the song's release, it became England, France. It topped the charts in Australia and other countries, and also achieved No. 6 on the Billboard in the United States. After this. It dominated the top spot on the Billboard charts for 11 weeks, its best result of the year.
In South Korea, Coldplay's song also set a record by reaching the top of the charts on a domestic website for the first time. You must know that in South Korea, no matter how popular foreign songs are, they can only just squeeze into the top 10 at most, and they have not even passed the top5, let alone the top of the list.
In any case, the song "Vivalavida", produced by Lee Jun-hyuk, has become a craze in South Korea, and at the same time, the name of Lee Jun-hyuk is also known by more people.
The popularity of "Vivalavida" lasted less than a month in South Korea before it was replaced by Lee Hyo-ri's new song. This is also something that can't be helped, although this song is still a strong mess in Europe and the United States, but in South Korea, it is a big obstacle in terms of language first, and it is normal for it to be slowly replaced by various other factors.
As soon as the title song of Lee Hyo-ri's new album "Ugogirl" came out, it formed a huge wave of imitation. It didn't take long for people to immerse themselves in Lee Hyori's original song. There's no way, you can almost memorize the lyrics after listening to them once, and you can dance a rough dance after watching them once, all of these factors are the feeling that the Korean people like the most, and in this case, you can't think about it.
The metabolism of the entertainment industry is very fast, especially in South Korea, where competition is fierce. With the rise of the "Ugogirl" parody trend, "vivalavida" was soon left behind by the Korean people.
At this time, the reporters who were unhappy with Lee Jun Hyuk breathed a sigh of relief, and things finally began to go according to their expectations. There are about 5 months left before Lee Jun Hyuk's return, which is enough time for the people who like the new and hate the old to completely forget Lee Jun Hyuk......
Will things really be the way they think? Of course not.
After "Ugogirl" was completely popular in South Korea, Lee Hyo-ri broke a fierce news in the follow-up publicity, and the author of this song is also Lee Jun-hyuk.
In fact, as early as a few months ago, Mnet released news that Lee Hyo-ri was going to cooperate with Lee Jun-hyuk. And Lee Jun-hyuk's entry and exit from Mnet has also been reported, but at that time, people's impression of Lee Jun-hyuk was that he was a producer who specialized in writing love songs, so after Lee Hyori's "Ugogirl" came out, no one would think about it.
In fact, this is the norm in the ballad industry, the quality of the songs is good, and all fans can see is the singer who performs the song on stage, as for who the producer of the song is, it is not within their scope of concern at all.
As for this phenomenon that happened to Lee Jun-hyuk, it was purely a pile of countless unrepeatable coincidences, well, in the words of the reporters who began to dislike him, it was a super invincible shit shit.
In fact, there is another reason why people did not find out about the author of this song, and it is the main reason. That is, at the beginning of the music video of this song, the logo of "Lee" is not played.
As far as a few years ago, "Snow Flower", and recently "If", "Like a Shot", whether it is Ost or the album title, these songs are all played with the unique Loge of "Lee" at the beginning of the MV without exception, and fans are gradually getting used to the fact that as long as it is a song made by "Lee", there will be this logo.
But the reality is that the logo was just a means for KBS TV to promote their TV series, and the search for "Lee" set off a wave of craze on the Internet, and KBS wanted to use this to promote their TV series, so they put this logo on the MV title of the TV series Ost to attract more people to watch.
As for Baek Ji-young's MV for "Like a Shot", she was still deeply embarrassed at the time, but she didn't have the name "Lee" as loud, so the use of the logo of "Lee" at the beginning of the film, compared to the reason they thought it was Lee Jun-hyuk's personal characteristics and added, it was true that the company wanted to borrow Lee Jun-hyuk's influence to increase publicity.
So when he knew that Baek Ji-young's MV for "Like a Shot" also used this logo, Lee Jun-hyuk realized that he deliberately explained this matter after Lee Hyo-ri recorded the song, and asked her not to use this logo again.
As a result of this, the song "Ugogirl" was popular for a month, and people knew that the author was Lee Jun-hyuk.
In this regard, Lee Jun-hyuk is very calm, with his character, I wish no fans knew what songs he wrote, anyway, his source of profit is whether the songs are popular or not, not his own popularity.
In fact, let's take the song boom in the past two months, the two-handed song has brought a lot of topic heat to Lee Jun-hyuk, but more, people are talking about the performers of the two songs Coldplay and Lee Hyo-ri, through these two songs, people know the name of Lee Jun-hyuk, but they only know the name, except for the few fans who know that Lee Jun-hyuk is still an actor, most people may not even be interested in knowing what he looks like. This is the difference between a star and a maker.
The two songs only brought the popularity of some topics to Lee Jun-hyuk, so that more people knew the name, but they didn't know who it was. But with the arrival of August, Lee Jun-hyuk's whole person has been remembered by almost half of the people. (To be continued......)
