Chapter 100: Be Quiet

Originally, I was just used to casually browsing the news, but I didn't expect to see such a powerful headline early in the morning.

Whether it's eating, waiting for the train, taking the subway, or even going to the bathroom, everyone who sees it can't help but pay attention to it.

"Naver Entertainment News: Boy group EXO has recently become a topic of conversation after successfully breaking into the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart"

It is understood that in the just-released 2015 26th issue of the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, EXO successfully made the list with the new song "Boy With Luv", surpassing the world superstar Taylor Swift's hit song "Shake It Off" to rank 39th.

This is the first boy group in the Kpop music industry to appear on the Hot 100 Billboard Singles in the United States, and the first Peninsula artist to appear on the chart after PSY, doing what all idol groups have not done before, setting an astonishing new record.

The title song "Boy with Luv" topped the iTunes charts in 52 countries upon its release, and it only took a week to parachute into Billboard without specific publicity and rank high. ”

After clicking on the headline headline of Naver Entertainment's half-pipe, there is a brief introduction to the news, and a few pictures are carefully attached between each paragraph.

These photos are specially selected, a total of three, the first is the cover promotional picture of the EXO album "L", nine people in light-colored suits standing in front of the camera, the upper body of the entry is divided into two columns, and the blue-haired pool Jingyuan in the C position is extremely dazzling.

The second high-definition photo shoot of nine people on stage was captured after a stage performance, and everyone looked extremely handsome after a special p-image and rendering.

Finally, there is a screenshot of the hot 100 singles list that just refreshed today.

Following the editor's passionate words in the news, and a faint sense of pride and exaggeration, many viewers who were watching the news report at this time couldn't help but start to have a special feeling in their hearts, especially when they saw the screenshot of the last list and saw many well-known English singers, the name 'exo' suddenly appeared, and many people's moods also surged.

This combination of three English letters is quite abrupt in this song list, and it always feels a little out of place when you look at it together, but this kind of incompatibility highlights the gratification and rarity of their achievements, and with those very infectious words, it suddenly ignited the joy and pride of many fans, passers-by and the hearts of the people.

Especially the one below the 39th exo, 40 just happens to be a world-class female singer Taylor. This was even more true in Swift's time.

Obviously not a level, or even an artist from the world, appeared on the same occasion, this kind of story that happened under the interweaving of awkwardness and truth, in the scene that made people feel unbelievable but did happen, is full of a heart-wrenching epic sense in the eyes of many people.

They don't specifically want to get to know Taylor. Swift's "Shake It Off" is a song released last year, and I don't care that this song has been on the list for more than 40 weeks for more than half a year, let alone care about this four-week top single.

Anyway, we're on top of you now, it's amazing!

In addition to the excitement, many people also clicked on the big and small headlines in order to satisfy the impulse and enthusiasm in their hearts, and also to learn more news.

"EXO won the 39th place in the US billboard 'hot 100', setting a new record for a Korean group"

"Breaking the record of the Korean group B list in the first week of airborne, EXO defines the new standard of Kpop mainstream"

"Undeniable popularity, world-class group EXO officially entered the U.S. market"

"There are successors to PSY, KPOP is becoming a general trend in Europe and the United States! 》

In addition to Naver, basically all other major media reported the news, and even some weekly magazines that do not involve entertainment news have reprinted the news, and to some extent, its influence is no longer limited to entertainment news.

At that time, psy became famous with a song, and directly became the leading hero-level figure on the peninsula with huge popularity and influence in the world, and various political figures received directly and other artists opened an obvious grade, even if there has been a significant decline every year over the years, but the status is still very lofty, relying on this amazing achievements and influence to successfully enter the European and American markets.

Although EXO is far less sensational than the previous "Gangnam Style" this time, it has not really broken into the United States or entered the European and American markets, it is just an airborne B list.

But after all, it is the first one after PSY and the only one among the male idol groups, even if it is only on the list, the impact is still very obvious.

Many people who usually don't pay attention to kpop, the music industry, especially the boy group, also reacquainted themselves with this boy group that seems to have a familiar name because of this news, and had a good first impression of him.

In response to this kind of reporting, all the news is basically sitting completely positive, and the tone is clearly set;

The people of the peninsula have long been very accustomed to the exaggerated and boastful style of their own media, after all, most of the people actually like this tone, and these media are just to their liking.

"Ahh Daihatsu! Daihatsu! Daihatsu! ”

"Today, no, the best news of the year!"

"I'm not mistaken, it's really on the B list!

At first, I thought it was a joke.,XO's Oba are really amazing.,This song is still written by Yuan Oba.,It's worthy of my man kkkk"

"I'm an international student studying in LA, I don't usually pay attention to kpop and just like entertainment, but this news really shocked me, the gold content of the B-list singles is still very full, and the airborne 39 score is really scary for a Korean group......

And I went to check it out after I saw the news.,I don't know if I don't check.,EXO is now the most popular and well-known Peninsula artist in the United States in addition to psy.,Since last year, their fans here have grown rapidly.,There are a group of very loyal and crazy fixed fans.,And in fact, Asians are not the majority.,On the contrary, many white and colored girls like them very much.,It's really powerful.,This time, although it's only on the list.,But I'm optimistic that they will successfully enter the European and American markets.。 ”

"Looking at it this way, I don't think there is any suspense in the battle of the top boy group, originally the most important head-to-head battle EXO this time has completely overwhelmed BIGBANG in all aspects, this time it is directly breaking into Ami, if I am BIGBANG, I have nothing to say if I lose......"

"Then you guessed wrong, they talk a lot (screenshot)......"

In the comment area of related news, whether it is the ellipse who are ecstatic and eager to jump, or the ordinary passers-by who are also concerned about this time are very interested in the message publisher's own opinion, because this kind of thing does show national pride, so it is basically a praise evaluation, among which there are many international students, and more knowledgeable people take the initiative to come out of the popular science B list Qu Rebai's gold content, and the rarity of the term 39.

However, when .p was mentioned, the atmosphere suddenly became wrong, and an Ellie directly posted a chat picture in the BIGBANG fan group immediately after the above message, which she was specially intercepted by an undercover agent among .p fans.

Unlike the above message, "there is nothing to say about losing", the bigbang fan group in the screenshot is very lively, at a glance, most of the chats are such as "Assi", "I can really brush", "How much money did I spend, SM has a lot of money", "What's the use of brushing up on the list, flying the list in a week is the most embarrassing" next week to beat them to death, "Disgusting, I won't look at the B list anymore" and the like.

It's just that when I saw this screenshot in this environment, not only Ellie, but even ordinary passers-by couldn't help but laugh in their hearts after seeing it, feeling that even through the screen they could smell a strong sour smell.

I can only say that maybe this is a fan......

A headline in the morning made the already lively Peninsula song scene even more boiling all of a sudden, and at the same time, under the diffusion of influence, EXO's name was directly out of the circle.

In addition to the passers-by who watched the flowers in the fog and got together with the fun, many practitioners in the circle, as well as idols, were surprised by this matter to some extent, and they were not weaker than the former.

…………

"Assi ......"

In the SM Girls' Generation practice room, after just practicing for a while, it was time to rest, except for a few people who didn't know what to do when they went out, everyone else sat on the sofa or on the floor and chatted on their mobile phones.

And after taking out his mobile phone, he revisited the news he had read in the morning, and at the same time saw Ji Jingyuan's reply to himself, "Ani, we are just a little luckier, and of course the strength is still stronger than Nuna", Kim Taeyeon couldn't help but scold directly.

"This stinky boy is really ......"

I saw the news not long after I got up in the morning, and Kim Taeyeon was surprised at that time, and discussed it on Twitter, and she also sent a message to Ji Kyung-won, which was both an inquiry and a congratulations.

As an insider, especially those who have experienced the difficulties of breaking into the United States, Kim Taeyeon knows very well that the American market is not so easy to enter at all, the discrimination, estrangement, arrogance, and various factors are daunting, and the money and resources invested in running the company there are several times more than those on the peninsula, resulting in a girlhood at the beginning, and she immediately withdrew after working hard for a while.

SM Gong has been in the United States since BOA, but he has not gained anything until now.

It's the same with their Girls' Generation, to be honest, their development in the United States that year was actually not good, and they didn't reap any practical benefits, so they can only say that they gilded the sign of Girls' Generation.

The continuous failures have made SM also start to be cautious, and there has been no action in recent years, but I didn't expect that today EXO seems to have suddenly opened a door.

"Who are you talking about?" Next to him, Jin Xiaoyuan asked

"Who else could it be? Jing Yuanbei, who else can Wuli Taeyeon scold so closely? Hwang Mi-young glanced at Kim Taeyeon with a smile and replied very understandingly.

"What about texting? I guess too, today's news is really a big hit. Kim Hyo-yeon smiled and nodded.

Huang Meiying also held her mobile phone and looked at today's news and various reports and analysis, and the expression on her face couldn't help but be a little more serious: "Jingyuan and EXO are really amazing, they didn't go there to publicize it, and the radio station that accounts for a large proportion of them can still be airborne 39 at all, this result is already very explosive." ”

"And looking at their trend and influence, it is difficult to fly on the list for a week, and it is estimated that they can rush up again.

Huang Meiying, whose hometown is in the United States, knows a lot about the B list, and she is also the member who knows the amazing results of EXO among everyone, she paused for a moment and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If we had this result in "The Boys" at that time, it is estimated that it would be ...... later."

"Ah, be quiet!"

Every time she hears a topic she doesn't want to hear, or can't argue with others, Kim Tae-yeon will say this, at this time she directly interrupted the other party and glared at Hwang Mi-young fiercely when she raised her head.

But Huang Meiying was not annoyed at all, and kissed him in the air with a smile.

Seeing that the captain spoke, and in fact, the other members didn't really want to mention the former Chuangmei, so they simply didn't talk about the past, and continued to talk about exo.

"'Boy With Luv' is really good, but it's not so popular in the United States, right?"

"I don't know, the news says that XO is very famous over there and has a lot of fans."

"yi~ You don't know the media on our side, it's boundless to brag when you encounter this kind of thing."

"Is the company really not promoting it over there, brushing the list or something?"

"No, I just heard from the agent Oba that XO's nearest work center is not there, and the company is actually quite surprised that it can suddenly make a big news this time."

"That's really amazing......"

Listening to her sisters discussing exo, sitting cross-legged on the edge of the wall and listening for a long time, Lin Yun'er, who also watched the mobile phone news for a long time, finally couldn't help but look up and ask: "XO now...... Is it so popular? ”

In the first half of the year, she has been filming the TV series "Martial God Zhao Zilong" in Xia Guo, and she returned to Seoul not long ago, and then immediately practiced dance with the members, rehearsing for the upcoming return, it can be said that she is busy with her feet and does not touch the ground, and she lives a very fulfilling life.

Especially when filming, because of the environment, language, and hard performance, etc., it can be said that Lin Yuner spent most of her energy, and during that time, all her mind was devoted to filming, wanting to play her role well, so as to rely on this company to finally break into the mainland market for the drama she received, and give her Xia Guo's acting career a good start.

So during that time, except for the occasional glance to see if there were any major events, she didn't pay much attention to the news on this side of the peninsula.

And when she returned to Seoul after the finale, she felt that EXO didn't know when it had changed.

Although it was very popular before, after all, the qualifications are there, at best, it is a rookie boy group that has debuted for a year or two, and last year it also encountered an incident where members quit the group continuously, and the road to rise was blocked all of a sudden.

However, Lin Yuna only didn't pay attention to it for a few months, and when she came back, she suddenly found that EXO had been reborn in a short period of time, and the popular boy group in her impression was now directly about to compete with Bigbang for the top, and she was about to step on each other to reach the top, which would directly have a voice in the United States.

I'm just making a movie, should I change so quickly?

"Yun'er has been filming for a few months, how does it feel like going to space, exo is the hottest now." Jin Xiaoyuan glanced at her in surprise, saw Lin Yun'er Brynn's eyes, pursed his lips and explained to her: "They return once a month in this short period of time, and the title song is very popular......"

"Well, we're getting old."

Seeing that a few people next to her started popular science for Lin Yun'er, Huang Meiying couldn't help but sigh.

"Ah, be quiet!"

……

"Ah, Jinjia, exo is really ......"

Just finished recording a clip of "Sixteen", eating the ice cream that he didn't finish when he was filming, Yu Dingyan heard the sound of the coffee shop cut to "Boy With Luv", and heard the familiar prelude, and couldn't help but say: "I don't want to pay attention to it, but it seems that I can see it everywhere, maybe this is the general trend......

As she spoke, she looked at Lin Nalian, who was also eating ice cream next to her: "Yes, Nalian?" ”

Yu Dingyan likes to tease her from time to time after discovering that Lin Nalian came out of the previous turmoil and successfully turned into a black fan of Chi Jingyuan.

"It's just on the B list, it's all the fuss, it's not like the predecessors of WIRLS haven't been on it."

Lin Nalian took a big bite of the ice cream in her hand, a pair of rabbit teeth opened and closed, squeaked and bit the spoon, and when she finished eating, she shook her head and shook her head, making a sound of 'Amu Amu Amu', and from time to time she also babbled her mouth, as if to show that the ice cream was delicious, and she was in a good mood, and she was not affected at all.

"Hehe......"

Seeing this sister's pretentious and childish appearance, Yu Dingyan smiled suddenly, and then she turned her head to look at Zhou Ziyu on the right: "Why doesn't Ziyu eat it?" ”

"Huh?" Zhou Ziyu, who was cue, blinked and stirred the ice cream in front of him: "I don't like to eat red beans very much." ”

The task that was now underway was a guerrilla performance, and the three of them were divided into a group this time after the regrouping.

"Is that so?" Yu Dingyan nodded and didn't say anything, but he secretly wrote it down in his heart, and after eating ice cream, he couldn't help but turn to the topic of EXO again: "This time, BIGBANG felt that I couldn't beat EXO, but after today's news came out, I felt that the winner had been divided." ”

"Amu Amu Amu ......"

"39, if our seniors do it, PDNIM doesn't know what to be excited about, I heard that he has always been obsessed with breaking into the United States."

"Amu Amu Amu ......"

"But with such good grades, it must be very busy...... Don't eat so fast, don't you feel ice? ”

"Amu ......"

Seeing the scene between these two sisters who have a good relationship, especially Lin Nalian's speechless and childish appearance, Zhou Ziyu also laughed happily, but after hearing Yu Dingyan's words at the end, she seemed to remember something, hesitated for a while, took out her mobile phone and opened the address book and sent a message:

"Haven't you been busy these two days? Do you have to come out tomorrow? ”

After sending it, she held the phone in her hand and waited a little nervously.

But this time the other party didn't seem to do anything else, and the reply was sent quickly:

"A little later."
