After the end of the EXO stage, all the artists who had been waiting for a long time returned to the stage, and Ji Jingyuan and EXO who had just finished the performance gave up their positions very graciously, and did not stand in the back row, but walked directly to the far right, the edge of the camera lens, leaving the center of the stage to one of today's alternates.

Although it seems that most of the audience here today are the Alice who came to support their return to the stage, and at a glance it was full of Alice sticks and handpieces, but after all, it didn't enter the selection, and when it came to an award, the protagonist was still twice.

"In the second week of June, "Music Bank", one of today's glories is......

“Twice！ Rough Kamida! ”

didn't sell much, and MC An Shubin directly announced the final trophy winner. There was no suspense for one of today's awards, and the other candidate didn't even come, and twice managed to get his fifth place in "Music Bank".

Although the final score of the award is only a little more than 5,000, it is a little ugly, which shows that there are not too strong opponents recently, and the popularity of "cheer up" has also dropped a little compared to when it first returned.

But being able to win the award is a proof of strength and popularity, and after this one is obtained, Twice has won a total of 11 hit songs with the title song "cheer up" this time.

There is still Sunday's "Popular Ballads" left this week, but they have graduated three times in a row and can't win the trophy anymore, and next week EXO will officially participate in the song, and a little rational fans will know that they will definitely miss the trophy from next week.

But in fact, it's not just twice, all the combinations of the same period should be the same......

So it's no surprise that today's trophy is their last one, and the 11 places are the final singing data of Twice's return this time.

Compared with Gfriend, who is also a rookie girl group at the beginning of the year, and a track competition, the fifteen places won by the other party's big hit song "Time Lapse" seem to be a little less, but this time Twice did not go to a small stage like "The show" to sing under the arrangement of JYP, and the eleven trophies are all three major wins, and the gold content will be higher.

《M！ countdown" graduated with three crowns, "Popular Ballads" graduated with three crowns, and "Music Bank" with five crowns, without going to the small stage to play, has almost achieved the ultimate of the three major songs, even if EXO does not go to the small stage, it will not do better.

So there is actually no difference between the two girl groups in terms of one.

It's a bit of a pity that Twice is not a consecutive champion...... Because the trophies of the third week were all robbed by EXO's "Fire" for a strong interruption.

But who would have thought that before May, this was just a rookie girl group that had debuted for less than half a year, and they were fantasizing about getting their first song.

After getting the last one, it can be seen that many members of TWICE are quite excited, and Ji Jingyuan also has a little emotion in his heart as he looks at them and says his testimonials.

After finishing his speech, Ji Jingyuan did not take the initiative to go to the crowd and bow to each other again, applauded lightly, bowed and thanked the fans, and then followed the members directly off the stage and returned to the backstage.

first went back to the lounge for a short rest, and all the idols soon came back to the corridor at the entrance of the studio, where a group of people were talking in a noisy and whispered voice, waiting to say goodbye to the action staff of the program team and leave work.

"Who knows...... How can I have time......"

As he was talking, because he performed on the Encore stage, twice, who came relatively late, also arrived, and instead of squeezing forward, he stood directly at the back of the line, just next to EXO, who was also at the back of the line.

Ji Jingyuan felt a little tired, and was leaning against the wall listening to Park Chanyeol and a few people chatting with EXID in front of him, when he noticed the footsteps and glanced back, his eyes just met the line of sight of Zhou Ziyu not far behind him.

The long chestnut hair is slightly curly, the white patterned short sleeves are tied up at the edge to reveal a small navel, the healthy legs are round and stand side by side, looking very powerful, and a pair of black eyes are shining.

I don't know if she's confident in her figure, or if JYP's cody is confident in her figure, and the waistless outfit seems to be her standard.

Next to her was Sasha Minato Sasha, a few people from Minai Nan, and Chi Jingyuan nodded lightly and smiled when he saw it. It's kind of a hello.

Zhou Ziyu seemed to be in a good mood, looking sweet with his small mouth cocked, and seemed to be very interested in the war-damaged makeup on his face, poked his head slightly, held his eyes to observe it closely, and then stretched out his index finger and tapped it in the air, and asked curiously: "How did you draw this makeup." ”

Spoken in Chinese, the voice is slimy.

When I met it before, I thought that Chi Jingyuan's makeup was very smelly and attractive, but now I finally saw it again, and it was so close, Zhou Ziyu was a little happy.

"......" Chi Jingyuan leaned his head against the wall and looked lazy and didn't want to speak, which was completely opposite to Zhou Ziyu's liveliness, he gently glanced sideways at her smart glasses, turned his head, and said with the same Chinese that was not salty or light: "You use your fingernails to scratch a line on your face, the effect is the same." ”

"I hate it......"

Hearing such a vicious reply, Zhou Ziyu immediately wrinkled her nose and complained, and viciously stretched out her index fingernail to compare with Chi Jingyuan, but her habitual Chinese tone did not have any lethality, but felt like she was coquettish.

But she was already used to it, her wrinkled little short face quickly stretched out, and while the staff of the program team hadn't come at this time, she took the initiative to ask again, "Were you playing a game just now?" ”

"Hmm."

"Is it the same game you told me last time?"

"You played too?" Chi Jingyuan was a little interested when he heard it, and looked at it.

"No...... I've heard you say that. ”

"Oh." He spun back again.

"We don't have time to play, Sister Cody has been putting on our makeup just now......"

As she spoke, she suddenly asked, blinking her eyes and looking at Chi Jingyuan: "By the way, what time is it today?" ”

Alas.

Seeing her sincere and innocent expression, as if she was really asking the date, Chi Jingyuan, who had already understood her, sighed in his heart, turned his head to meet Zhou Ziyu's big eyes, and didn't answer her at all, but said very directly: "I was not available on the 13th." ”

You think I don't know you're hinting that your birthday is coming soon? You really like to use this kind of little kid trick.

After speaking, he looked at the girl's expression, thought about it and added: "There were two signing sessions in Busan on the 13th, and it was estimated that it was very late when I came back." ”

"......" Hearing such a straightforward reply, Zhou Ziyu, who was originally a little expectant, was a little dissatisfied, snorted lightly, and became angry: "Then we are not available." ”

"Such a coincidence? That's just the right way to save the gift. ”

"Hmph, don't." Zhou Ziyu gritted his tiger teeth and bared his teeth at her, pouted and didn't want to pay attention to him, but after a while, he laughed again, leaned against the wall as soon as he turned around, turned his head and said, "By the way, my mother came to see me the day before yesterday and brought something for me to give to you." ”

"Your mom is here again? It's not like I just came here some time ago......" Chi Jingyuan looked at her and looked up and down: "You are still really a child who doesn't reassure your parents." ”

"That's obviously a concern!"

"Okay...... How to thank Auntie for me. ”

The two chatted for a long time, and the person standing next to them completely became a spectator, and they couldn't understand a word, and they were a little dissatisfied after a while.

Minai Minami kept smiling softly and didn't say anything, while Minato Sasha was holding Minai Minami's arm, and after listening to it for a while, he finally interjected with some complaints: "Oba, there are so many of us here, why do you two still speak Chinese, and keep saying things we don't understand." ”

The voice is a little high-pitched, with some strange accents.

Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan turned his head to look at the two of them together, the neon line with delicate facial features, and he naturally switched to Japanese:

"Then we'll talk about it too."

"Ha ......" The two laughed all of a sudden, Nakai Nan brushed his hair, Minato Sasha reached out to wrap his hand around Nakai Nan's waist, looked up at Chi Jingyuan, and chirped as if he was fighting:

"Just say it!"

…………

"EXO is back, and the pre-sale set a brilliant record of 1.3 million copies, breaking his own record again in one day"

"XO has exploded in popularity overseas, with three albums of EXACT topping the North American album chart, iTuse topping the comprehensive album charts in more than 20 regions, and entering the TOP10 in five regions around the world, showing amazing overseas popularity."

"The return has set off a trend, the boy group EXO has swept the music source charts with its double main hits, and "Missing" has received excellent reviews and continues to rise, setting a daily independent listening record for the boy group."

Since the day of EXO's return on June 9th, the entire music industry on the peninsula, even the mainland, and even Southeast Asia, some overseas fandom seems to be lively.

Fans who buy exclusive cards, listeners who comment on music, peers in the circle, passers-by who look down on it, satirical black acid, all kinds of people are paying close attention to this return after a year, and the relevant sections on the Internet are full of discussions, as well as voices of boasting or abuse, and even people who don't follow Kpop often see similar entries.

The popularity is so high that it explodes, and the marketing account and media reports are flying all over the sky, which can be regarded as letting everyone see what it is like to return to a TOP boy group that is popular throughout the peninsula and even in Asia.

In terms of the volume and influence of fans, among all the groups of this generation in the current music industry, no one in the male and female groups is unmatched, and there is even a huge fault line in the middle.

Under all kinds of hustle and bustle, after the first week of the singing stage show, this time the three albums probably have an initial result, not to mention the sales, but the performance in the music source is excellent.

As expected by SM at the beginning, the dance music of "monster" is indeed a congenital disadvantage for passers-by, and it was driven down from the top of the list by "Missing" after dominating the first place for a few days with extremely high popularity.

And "Missing", which was expected to balance the sound source this time, did not disappoint, and it has become a favorite of many people since it was released, and the number of listens in the first two days has been a lot but it is still increasing every day, and the performance of the music source is extremely good, and it is estimated that it is another song that can compete for the ranking at the top of the annual chart.

But in comparison, although the performance of the sound source is slightly inferior, the strong style and wonderful dance of "Monster" have caused more discussion and heat, although some fans may not be very suitable for this style, but most fans like it, and the people who like it really like it very much, love this time's return, and think that the style, dance, and makeup of this return are the peak of EXO again, no less than "Roar" in 13.

A few days after the album was released, many fans expressed their general views on the album on the Internet, and a well-known Aili's post received a lot of likes:

"I got my hands on XO's album as soon as I could, I listened to it over and over a dozen times, and I watched it back and forth many times in the past few days, so let's talk about my general opinion on this comeback.

First of all, the setting of the double main song, those who are familiar with SM artists are actually very clear, SM's artists return to the double main song is actually not much, it is generally a precursor song plus a title song, at most a title song of a follow-up album is added...... I don't know if there will be a follow-up to XO this time, and the news hasn't been released yet, so I very, very hope it is.

Because everyone who mixes Kpop also knows that although the double main song sounds very powerful, there are actually many drawbacks, dispersing the YouTube pipe, dispersing the sound source, in fact, does not have many benefits for the results and playing songs, but will also cause a waste of resources in many cases.

In addition to XO, the most recent one was last year's Girls' Generation, this time it is a negative example of the standard, with a double main hit, one of which is aimed at the overseas market "you think" after dividing a lot of promotional resources, but it is directly paste, completely nobodycares.

And EXO is even more exaggerated this time, there are four songs that have been filmed MV and they are all very well-made, "lucky one" and the precursor song "Fire" are also the main level, and its three albums are "monster" and "Missing" double main songs, and it can even be directly said to be three main songs, four main songs...... Although Yuan also explained on the showcase that he was worried that some fans would not like the overall overly strong style, so he took the lyrical "Missing" as the title song, providing fans with another option, but this distribution is actually a bit risky.

SM is really confident in EXO, and the resources are sufficient, and there are five different designs for the four songs and albums of the group logo, and they are not afraid of problems.

But I can also understand SM's thoughts, the TOP group is indeed different, the number of fans is there, the popularity is high, and I am not afraid of being confused. Now EXO has become a card and banner of Kpop, which is to show a style that is different from those ordinary combinations.

So far, the results are very good, in terms of dance music, "Monster" dominates the world, I inquired, whether it is on our side, or Xia Guo, or even Neon, fans in Europe and the United States like this song very much, which can be called the big devil.

In terms of sound source, "Missing" lives up to expectations, and the good sound source is not like a song of a boy group.

The title song was successful, and the whole album was more than half successful.

Then there is the change of repertoire and design and style of the whole album, this time the transformation of the title song "Monster" is a bit bigger, and it goes directly to the dark style with a strong impact. Of the ten songs in the whole album, seven of them are songs with a very strong style, using a lot of electronic music and psychedelic / sci-fi style, and some of the arrangements and melodies are still very popular styles in Europe and the United States in the past year.

At present, it seems that the effect is gratifying, in the official data, whether it is overseas sales, or even the number of fans in Europe and the United States, there has been a significant improvement, and the local markets of the peninsula and Asia have not been lost, and they are stable and improving.

It can be seen that SM is very ambitious, but the steps are not too big, and there is room for "Missing", which can be regarded as a transformation to maintain sanity in ambition.

Needless to say about the stage, the makeup, style, choreography, and stage effects of "Monster" can be called the stage textbook of the men's group, which is worth taking a good look at and studying over and over again by those men's groups and male trainees. I've watched it back and forth dozens of times in the past few days, and each member is handsome, in my opinion, it's completely the peak appearance and peak makeup since EXO's debut, and I can't find anything better than this, and last year's "call me baby" is not good.

All in all, although it has only been back for less than a week, it can basically be judged that it has been a very successful, very exciting, very sensible transition.

The current results also prove this, breaking the sales record of the first move in one day, the top ten in the entire Kpop history in the first move and the first week accounted for eight, and the top five swept the list, and the enthusiasm of the fans is frightening, I predict that this time the return is no less than last year, and it can completely dominate Kpop for a long time! ”

This comment has been recognized by many fans, who have left messages below: "That's great, this time the third series is really good in my heart, maybe the quality of the songs is not as good and catchy as the second album, but the style is really too much to my appetite." ”

"I also think that four years after their debut, all the members of EXO have reached the peak of their appearance this year, and with this top-notch makeup, the most important appearance in the idol profession is indeed full, and the visual miracle of the boy group is worthy of its name."

"Although I don't like the style of "monster" very much, the third album also specially left songs like "Missing" to satisfy us fans, and SM can be regarded as having a heart."

"EXO rules Kpop!"

……

Ji Kyung-won didn't know if they would rule Kpop, he only knew that he was going to be exhausted for the past two days.

Since the showcase on the 8th, the return on the 9th has returned to the very familiar 'return mode', and in addition to playing songs for four consecutive days, they have also participated in various activities, publicity, stations, interviews, variety shows, and radio, almost completely uninterrupted, and every morning after waking up, it is a continuous turn to midnight.

Even if there are occasional free breaks and no itinerary is arranged, they still don't have much time to rest, because there are still many jobs they have to prepare for in addition to returning, such as the meeting and stage practice of the third tour, the production meeting of the republished album, the practice and recording of new songs, plus everyone's personal information and even advertising shooting, it really all came together.

Although he has long been accustomed to this kind of busy return schedule, he has not experienced it for more than half a year, and EXO and Chi Jingyuan, who have been idle for a while, have really not adapted to it for a while, in addition to being physically exhausted these days, he also feels that his spirit is not very good because he has not slept enough, and every time he returns to the dormitory, no one chats and farts, and there is a commotion, and basically everyone falls asleep.

At this time, he was lying on the bed in the dormitory and drowsy, and at the same time cheered up, listening to the call from Bae Joo-hyun on his mobile phone.
