Chapter Twenty-Nine: I Didn't Lose When the Team Lost

Because the resources of each company are limited, the more you are given, the less you are given to other groups. Although they are all SM company combinations, the fans of the predecessor group will not pay attention to these, as long as the combination resources of their fans become less, so that they can't see their idols often, they will scold EXO who just debuted to share resources.

This is true for fans of groups including SJ, Girls' Generation, SHiNee, and many more. And SM has nothing to do about it.

On the other hand, compared with the local EXO-K on the peninsula, the EXO-M, which focuses on the Xia Guo market, has exploded with amazing popularity, they have accumulated enough attention before their debut, and after their official debut, it can be said that they directly detonated the fan circle, and the popularity is extremely high among the student groups in the Xia Kingdom, the number of fans is rising and very loyal, and the main LUHAN is even more outstanding, and is crazy sought after by many students.

EXO-M's various announcements were simply overwhelmed, and invitations from many music platforms, including TV stations, were also sent to SM Company, which surprised the company and was deeply surprised.

In contrast, the EXO-K is not good.

EXO-k's series of foreshadowing in the previous months was a great form after their debut, because of various problems with the title song "MAMA", including the unpopular style and unacceptable styling, their popularity immediately halved, and they did not become as popular as the company expected before their debut.

At the same time, the lack of strength of some members also broke out, and the silenced video of their debut stage was sent to major forums and ridiculed by all kinds.

Of course, even though the EXO-K has a posture of penetrating the center of the earth, it is not without good news.

Because when EXO-K was hacked by the whole network, although Chi Jingyuan was also affected, it was not affected too much.

His face is excellent and at the same time, he naturally gives people a feeling of wanting to be close, and his signature smile is very attractive to fans. And because of the influence of the style of the song "MAMA", Ji Jingyuan can't keep laughing when he performs on the stage of the singing show, and he is expressionless and cold-faced in many parts.

And the contrast between the two shows a contrasting charm, which makes his popularity high. His debut video will still have a lot of hits tomorrow, and it will continue to maintain his popularity.

And I don't know who posted it on the Internet, in the silenced video of their debut stage, several members performed a disaster, several members' microphones were full of breathing sounds, and many parts were not in tune, D.O. broke the sound a few times, and only Chi Jingyuan maintained a consistent level after watching the video without making mistakes, which made his fans feel a lot more confident.

In many forums, if it is black EXO-K, there is no one to refute it, and many people participate. But if it's Hei Yuan, many times there will be his fans who immediately get involved and start tearing up and speaking for him.

In classic sports parlance, 'EXO-K lost, but Yuan didn't.' ’

However, even if his momentum is good, the growth rate of Chi Jingyuan's fans has also slowed down significantly, and there are no good songs or other works to use as carrier support, even with his excellent quality, it is difficult to go against the trend, even if he can maintain a good popularity, but if there is no work, it will definitely not last long, and after a little time, the popularity will pass, and there will be a large area of de-powdering.

However, because the number of fans of other members in this black tide not only did not increase, but there were still many fans who lost their fans, so that Chi Jingyuan stood out in the entire group. According to SM's own private statistics, the number of Yuan's fans is currently more than the other five combined, which can be called a peerless.

In the past few days, someone has already proposed on the forum, "EXO-K, this group is Yuan and his five backup dancers. And it has received a lot of approval, and even Ji Jingyuan's own fans like and support this remark.

Recently, because of his outstanding personal image, a large number of fans and loyalty, he has obtained some advertising opportunities, although it is not a big endorsement, but because the shooting effect is very good, he has won a lot of praise from advertising companies, and the opportunities are growing at a visible rate.

It's just that in addition to his personal itinerary, EXO-K's group activities are very few and almost none, and there were a lot of announcements because of the company's support when he first debuted, but after his popularity halved and there was no follow-up resource investment, he didn't receive any announcements.

If there is no song show that has been discussed in advance because of the investment of resources, the other members either sleep in the dormitory or practice in the company's practice room, which looks similar to before their debut.

At the mention of this, the agent Lee Seung-hwan had a headache.

As EXO-K, he is the head of the main agent of EXO, and his performance and promotion are directly linked to the EXO team, and now that Team K has become like this, he is also very annoyed.

"As you know tomorrow at the signing session in Qingliangri, I will go to the KBS Music Bank on April 27, and I will go to SBS to participate in MTV The Show after that. On the 28th, there were two stages each in MBC and SBS, and the others have recently disappeared. Lee Seung-hwan flipped through the memo and said.

"It's a signing session again......"

When Chi Jingyuan heard the signing meeting, he was stunned for a while.

Their first EXO-K signing event was held in Gangnam-gu on April 20th, and the number of fans who came was not many but not many, most of them were fans of Ji Jingyuan, and there was a long queue in front of him, and a few people were scattered in front of the other members, which looked particularly bleak.

And you must not have a black face in front of fans, no matter how embarrassing it is, you must keep a happy expression, and the expressions of several teammates at that time made Chi Jingyuan feel uncomfortable for them.

And although Chi Jingyuan is popular, he has been very tired of signing and shaking hands with him alone, and his popularity alone has not reached the level where he can carry a whole signing party, and he will be also very embarrassed when the number of fans decreases and there is no one, and the pride in his heart has also been hit a lot.

On the 21st, another signing party was held in Rishan, and the scene was basically the same, and even fewer people than the last time.

Generally speaking, when artists are not popular enough to hold an event like a signing party, it is really painful to see that there are few people on the scene.

"What about the other announcements?"

"It's still the same, I haven't received any trips during this time, and you know that the form of the combination has been very bad recently, and the company is hesitant to invest resources in the past few days......" Lee Seung-hwan shook his head, obviously worried.

"If it weren't for you, we don't know what our K-team would be like now......"

Li Chenghuan sighed, then looked at the rearview mirror with appreciative eyes, and said in a happy tone: "Before, I still didn't understand Director Li Xiuman's intention to suddenly choose you to join the group, but now I find that this decision is really correct." Jingyuan, you are really a natural artist, even if this situation can shine. ”

Lee Seung-hwan thought about what the situation would be like for the K team if there was no Ji Kyung-won, maybe the popularity and fans of the K team would be cut in half, and after the daily singing was over, several agents with assistants and 6 members were in a daze in the practice room.

It's horrible.

"But it's not a way to go on like this......" Chi Jingyuan looked out the window, a little helpless.

"Judging from the current situation, their debut song has indeed had a bad impact, and the entire EXO-K team has not met expectations, and the company is also having a headache now."

Lee Seung-hwan said what he heard: "The high-level has been arguing a lot lately, but the M team is really good, and there may be a meeting in the next two days to discuss it." ”
