"The New Era of Hallyu, Beautiful Girls Hit a New High"

The next day, all the entertainment news pages, the front page headlines, were all monopolized by GirlsGeneration's nine consecutive titles.

I can't help but be excited, because this achievement is groundbreaking in the entire Korean entertainment industry.

Another important reason is that this achievement is very rare.

Only Choo Hyun-mi's four consecutive gold records, Cho Young-pil's triple crown and Kim Jong-kook's quadruple crown can be compared.

The most rare thing is that GirlsGeneration is a girl group.

Everyone knows that no matter how popular a girl group is, it is impossible for a girl group to have as many fans as a boy group. Therefore, they can get this result, which is even more precious.

There is now a debate in South Korea about how to position GirlsGeneration.

It stands to reason that such achievements and popularity are a complete match for being called a national girl group.

But WonderGirls is still there, and it hasn't been disbanded, and it's a little shocking to call GirlsGeneration a national girl group.

There is another title, which has caused more controversy, and that is the national combination.

In everyone's impression and consciousness, the national group can only be a men's group. Like HOT and G.O.D. back then, only this condition is met.

Even TVXQ and Dark.L, which are now popular all over Asia, have not been dubbed national groups by the stingy Koreans, is GirlsGeneration really qualified as a girl group?

But there is one consensus that everyone acknowledges, and that is that today's GirlsGeneration is enough to touch the threshold of national groups.

Even when TVXQ and Dark.L were still being shut out, a rising girl group was already on the verge of becoming the national group representing South Korea and the Korean Wave.

Compared with the excitement of the outside world, the circle is full of sorrow.

Because GirlsGeneration's nine consecutive championships are like an insurmountable mountain. In front of this majestic mountain, no one can feel the hope of transcendence.

The only thing that can make the other singers talk a little bit is that in a week, GirlsGeneration will be GB.

Otherwise, everyone will really have to be forced hard.

Just how to say it? They were too early to get complacent.

Seeing that the storm of GirlsGeneration is about to pass, A.P Company has ruthlessly released the ace boy group Dark.L.

On March 12, as soon as the MV and sound source of "Sorrysorry" were released, the whole circle was scolded.

Everyone realizes that a song of the exact same genre as "Gee" has been released.

And what's even more terrifying than "gee" is that this time it's Dark.L who has more fans.

If Dark.L's return this time. If you're still playing hip-hop music, the competitors won't be too nervous.

Because now Dark.L has become synonymous with Korean hip-hop music, a name that is certainly a great acclaim, but it also means that there is nothing new.

As soon as you come back, the outside world will say "oh", and it will be hip-hop again.

In this case, no matter how good your work is, others will only say "not bad" (refer to Jay Chou's tone).

But this time, Dark.L went against the norm and played the most regular Kpop music. That is, it is expressed. Whenever they return in the future, their style will probably change dramatically.

In this way, it will definitely make countless fans look forward to it.

In other words, you don't have to take out other people's works. The gimmick of returning alone can attract enough attention.

You say, can this still be enjoyable?

For example, no one thought that Dark.L would abandon the hip-hop music that had become famous and formed. I played traditional Kpop music.

Not only that, but on this basis, the melody of poisoning and brainwashing is also added to the work. Make it easier for the audience to accept it.

In addition, the most novel thing for the public is that Dark.L actually danced neatly this time.

Not only is it neat, but if you take a closer look at the neat and uniform knife dance, even if TVXQ and Superjunior stand up, it will only be half a catty.

Everyone who saw this suddenly realized that it was not that Dark.L was not good at dancing, but that they were not serious at all.

Now that people are serious, they will immediately let you see the immediate effect.

The day after the release of "Sorrysorry", the entire entertainment industry was already filled with a strong storm.

With the energy of Dark.L's hundreds of thousands of fans, in just one day, the song was given the top position of melon's music source list.

As for the other lists, "Sorrysorry" is also difficult to meet opponents and stand out from the crowd.

Compared with the domestic pomp, the international influence of this song is even more terrifying.

On China's largest music platform, this song has already exceeded 10 million hits and has become a well-deserved overlord.

And in Southeast Asia, where Hallyu has the greatest influence, imitations of this song are endless.

In a word, Dark.L's fans and passers-by who like to join in the fun have changed their ways to take this song to a new level.

With GirlsGeneration's invincible nine consecutive championships and Dark.L's absolute momentum in the back, the entire Korean entertainment industry in 2009 is completely a situation where thousands of horses are sitting together and watching A.P Company dominate.

Coupled with the previous move of HBC TV to monopolize the broadcast rights of major events, it seems that the entire Korean entertainment industry at the beginning of 2009 was only the voice of C.J Group.

In the past, when talking about major Korean entertainment companies, A.P, S.M, JYP, and YG were basically discussed side by side.

But this time, A.P Company announced to the world with real actions who is the overlord of the Korean entertainment industry.

March 15th. On the fourth day after Dark.L's return, they were on the scene of "Popular Songs" and successfully started their journey of harvesting one.

It is worth mentioning that in the original time and space, the ones who got one place from "Popular Ballads" in this time period were Victory, KARA, and Davichi.

But now because of Choi Jung-won's changes, Victory and Kang Min-kyung in Davichi are all in A.P Company, so the two original ones have all disappeared.

Without two strong competitors, it would have been too difficult to stop Dark.L with KARA, which was just starting to improve.

As a result, on March 8th, KARA won the first place in "Popular Ballads" after his return. Never fought Dark.L again.

In "Popular Songs", Dark.L won three consecutive crowns very smoothly.

On the side of "Youle Show", as the home field, Dark.L is even more vigorous, and after five consecutive championships, he gave up.

And this is more than a month later.

However, here in "Music Bank", it did not surprise Cui Zhengyuan. Dark.L only got one place in late March and early April, and then Sun Danfei interrupted the possibility of winning consecutive championships.

It stands to reason. Dark.L's attempt to continue GirlsGeneration's glorious record has been interrupted, and the peers in the circle should be happy.

But at a glance, Nima, Sun Danfei was born in PledisEntertainment. It is also a branch of A.P.

To put it bluntly, this is friendly competition within the A.P system, and there is nothing to do with outsiders at all.

Thinking about this, everyone's mouth has a stronger bitter taste.

Who can break through the dominance of A.P? This has become one of the most difficult topics in the Korean entertainment industry.

But they weren't allowed to think of a way yet. An even more devastating news came.

After more than a month on the shelves, "Sorrysorry" has sold more than 700,000 copies, and it is sure to become the sales champion in 2009.

Frankly. The sales of "Sorrysorry" also really scared Cui Zhengyuan.

Although the original record sales champion of this year in history was also "sorrysorry", in the hands of Superjunior, the sales volume was only 250,000 copies.

In this era of sluggish record sales, 250,000 copies can win the Golden Record Award. One can imagine what a terrifying number of 700,000 copies sold.

There are even people who wonder if A.P has made a buyback, otherwise this figure is too exaggerated.

Fortunately, several major record dealers came forward in time to clarify the situation, so that Dark.L did not cause a nominal loss.

However, the news was confirmed, and the earthquake caused in the entertainment industry was even more shocking.

Countless people galloped past with thousands of grass and mud horses in their hearts, and raised their middle fingers in the direction of A.P.

This 2009 has just begun, and a big award for the Golden Disc has already been booked, how can other people play?

However, those who are interested see more things from the super high sales of Dark.L, such as the biggest destination for these records is actually China, which has always been considered a barren country.

Of the 700,000 copies sold, 430,000 were purchased by the Chinese side.

Seeing this, many entertainment planners have fallen into deep thought. "It seems that we will have to put more effort into the Chinese market in the future."

The Korean market is so small that it is very difficult to support many artists.

There are many well-known artists, but there are even more artists who are struggling to make ends meet.

In order to make the most money possible, South Korea's entertainment industry has been shamelessly carrying out a policy of closing the country.

And now, seeing the development of the times, this policy is becoming increasingly unattainable, so these entertainment people are eager to go out.

At the beginning, they set their sights on Japan, Europe and the United States, and after hard work, they opened a small hole in the Japanese market.

But the U.S. market has long been mature, and it is much more advanced than South Korea in terms of concept and technology.

So for that market, most Korean entertainment people hit their heads and broke their blood.

Looking back now, they suddenly found that not far behind them, there was actually a very huge market lurking, how can these people not be excited?

For a while, when many people were ignorant, the Chinese craze in the Korean entertainment industry has gradually begun to rise. (To be continued......)
