Chapter 149: The Storm of Gee

At the beginning of February 09, S/M Company held a high-profile press conference, at which the company's new president, Kim Min-young, announced that Girls' Generation captain Taeyeon would officially return to Girls' Generation after seven months of recuperation, and Girls' Generation will also officially return to the music scene. Of course, such news can't cause any major turmoil, after all, Girls' Generation has been suppressed by wondergirls for a while. Kara is also more popular than Girls' Generation because of Li Tianyu's songs.

But the next news surprised the media at the scene, Kim Minying announced that the company will completely shift the company's focus to Girls' Generation in the next period of time, which shows that S/M Company is finally going to make a move in the girl group. Of course, the media can also understand, after all, now that Wondergirls is going to the United States, although Kara's popularity is gradually rising because of Li Tianyu's songs, it is still reaching the point of reaching the top, not only for Girls' Generation, but also for many companies' girl groups It is an excellent opportunity.

But just when everyone thought that S/M Company would fully package Girls' Generation, Kim Min-young announced the last news, the title song of Girls' Generation's new comeback album will be written and composed by Girls' Generation's captain Kim Taeyeon. This kind of news surprised everyone, and the title song of a group, especially the return song, is definitely very important. What is a return song, that is to say, this song is good, you are back perfectly, if this song is not good, then this group will officially disband.

For a while, the outside media began to pay attention to Girls' Generation, and at the same time, all kinds of speculations came out. Some people say that this is the rhythm of S/M company giving up Girls' Generation, after all, Girls' Generation has been so long, and there has been no improvement for more than a year from the beginning of 08 to now, so the so-called return is just the last chance for Girls' Generation given by S/M Company.

Some people also think that this is completely hype, and the so-called return title song cannot have been written by Taeyeon at all, but must have been written internally by S/M Company itself and deliberately named Taeyeon, in order to make up for the loss of popularity caused by Taeyeon's exit during this time. There are all kinds of speculations on top of that, but anyway, the goal of S/M's company's desire for the media's attention to the return of Girls' Generation and Taeyeon's attention has been achieved, and everything else will be known soon.

The next day, major media reports such an event on either the first or second page, and for a while, many people paid attention to the high-profile return of Girls' Generation and Taeyeon's songwriting. Of course, most people take the news of Girls' Generation as a joke. There are not many artists who can write and sing in the entertainment industry, and there are countless artists in South Korea now, but there are a few Li Tianyu and Quan Zhilong. What's more, if Taeyeon really had such a talent, it would have been shown at the beginning, and there was no reason why it had been out for a year and a half, and it had only been revealed until now.

And in the temporary president's office of JYP, two people are also discussing this matter, to be precise, one person and one telephone. "Yes, president, that's how the S/M company announced, but I don't think you have to take it to heart, what Taeyeon writes songs, I think Lee so-man just wants to make up for Taeyeon's popularity in this way, and now that wondergirls are going to the United States, Lee so-man is naturally reluctant to let go of such an opportunity." It was Li Tianyu's old rival Director Cui who spoke.

"Well, I know the matter, although this may just be Lee so-man's hype, but anyway, now that Wondergirls is coming to the United States, if Lee so-man really wants to make Girls' Generation popular, the current Korean girl group has nothing to stop them. But let's observe first, if Girls' Generation really has a time of recovery, then even if I delay my opening of the U.S. market, I will definitely bring Wondergirls back to stop Girls' Generation," Park said.

"What you're talking about, president, is that now the Korean girl group has a little popularity surprise in addition to Kara, who got a song by Lee Tianyu because of Lee Hyo-ri's relationship, none of them can be compared to Wondergirls, as long as Girls' Generation has a little recovery, as long as Wondergirls come back, they will definitely be trampled underfoot. Korea's No. 1 girl group has no one to do except wondergirls," said Director Choi.

But how did they know that the return of Girls' Generation would be so fast, so that Wondergirls didn't even have time to come back, it was completely a domineering gesture, but it was a pity that the two of them were still making all plans. "By the way, Director Cui, Li Tianyu, their affairs will be slowed down for a while, and I will discuss it after I go back for a while" Finally, Park Zhenying suddenly said such a sentence over the phone.

But Director Cui, who heard this, trembled all over, and a cold light flashed in his heart, but he still said respectfully, "Yes, I understand" and then Director Cui hung up the phone. "Why is this happening, why did Park Heizi suddenly change his hexagram, did something happen? No, no matter what happens, I won't allow Li Tianyu's bastard to appear in front of me again, I must crush them" said Director Cui and slapped the table viciously.

Then Director Cui picked up the phone again, "It's me, I don't care what means you use, you must get Li Tianyu and their handle recently, otherwise you will always live in the shadow of M&KING, or you can directly consider the problems after the dissolution" After speaking, Director Cui cut off the phone directly. After that, he leaned back, leaned back in the boss's chair, and muttered to himself, "What happened and why did Park Heizi suddenly change her mind."

However, how did Director Choi know that during the period of his arrival in the United States, Park Jin-young immediately realized that it seemed unlikely that Wondergirls would want to open the American market with a song "Nobody". Especially after Wondergirls has been active in the United States for so long, Park Jin-young has a feeling of difficulty. But let him let go like this, and he was unwilling. Just now when he heard what Director Choi said about girlhood, he immediately had a worry.

Now wondergirls are in the United States, and they may not be able to beat Lee Xiuman in South Korea, and now they are no longer in Korea, in case S/M company really comes out of Girls' Generation, or Girls' Generation really surpasses wondergirls all of a sudden, then the biggest bargaining chip in his hand is gone. Although this possibility is very small, but if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, in case Girls' Generation really surpasses Wondergirls, then the only thing you can compete with Li Xiuman. After thinking about it, Park Jin-young found that there was only M&KING.

After fighting with Lee so-man for so long, Park Jin-young is clear about Lee so-man's methods, although he thinks that as long as there is a little revival of Girls' Generation, he will immediately bring Wondergirls back. But that's not enough, I still have to keep M&KING as a hole card.

But Park Jin-young overestimated his own prestige, and now Park Jin-young often compares himself with Lee so-man, Lee so-man has the absolute right to speak in the S/M company, and it can be said unceremoniously that although Kim Min-young, the current president of the S/M company, as long as Lee so-man says a word, then it is definitely more useful than Kim Min-young, the president. Because he has always put himself and Lee so-man in the same position, it is natural that Park Jin-young also thinks that he has such authority.

But he really overestimated himself, Li Xiuman's prestige has been accumulated over decades, and although his position has gradually stabilized because of the benefits he brought to the company last year, it is absolutely impossible to have the majesty that Li Xiuman has accumulated over the years. So much so that Director Choi completely ignored his words, which led to the later M&KING running away and Girls' Generation defeating wondergirls, making him a complete defeat.

Of course, all this is a matter of the future, just when Director Cui and Yu Zeyan were actively looking for Li Tianyu and their handles, S/M Company really focused everything on Girls' Generation as announced at the press conference. In less than two weeks, Girls' Generation "Gee" came out, and the speed shocked everyone, but the real shock was still to come.

The music source of "GEE" was released only ten hours after it was announced, and it immediately landed on the major music charts in its previous life, and immediately reached the top 24 hours later, and deservedly became the first place on the major charts. Within 24 hours, S/M's server was paralyzed several times due to excessive downloads, followed by the release of the Girls' Generation "gee" MV, which set a record of 10 million hits in 48 hours, and the video download once again paralyzed the server.

After that, it was even more out of control, and in just one day, the sound of "geegeegeebabybabybaby" could be heard everywhere in the streets and alleys of South Korea, and people walking on the street would involuntarily hum along when they heard this sound. But that's not all, the popularity of this song of Girls' Generation is not only the song but also the dance.

It is easy to learn, and it can be said that there is no one from the elderly to children who can't learn it, and no one who can't dance. Not only that, but after the fire of "gee", there were some more videos with high click-through rates on the Internet, not all of which were videos imitating girls' generation "gee" from all walks of life, completely across age, nationality and occupation. There are even police versions, OL versions, flight attendant versions, uncle versions, pregnant women's versions, and children's versions. But such a variety of parody videos made Girls' Generation immediately popular all over Asia.

If these are not particularly substantial and convincing results, then after the release of "Gee" by Girls' Generation, even they and the company did not expect this song to be so popular that Girls' Generation did not immediately participate in various singing shows. But even so, in the absence of Girls' Generation, the latest issue of "Music Bank" turned out to be Girls' Generation's "Gee".

All of this made everyone realize one thing, the wolf is coming, so that many artists who have not yet released albums have postponed one after another, and those who have released new albums are hiding their faces and sighing. And after Park Jin-young learned all this in the United States, he immediately sat in his seat weakly for a long time and said, "Girlhood is no longer unstoppable."

In fact, the glory of Girls' Generation has only just begun.
