Chapter 288(2/3)
of music.
And today, other artists who also participated in this episode of "m!c" and have been paying attention to EXO and watching their live performance also felt that they were amazed by this stage. Apink, who had been watching TV in the lounge, was stunned.
He opened his mouth, obviously immersed in it.
"I need you girl."
After Wu Haarong and Jin Nanzhu finished reading, they stood there, singing while lowering their heads and grabbing the clothes on their chests with their hands, imitating Chi Jingyuan's part just now, but there were no people kneeling around them, which seemed a bit lackluster.
"Fortunately we will run away next week."
Zheng Endi looked at the TV with some pride: "If we bump into each other and fail to get it one by one, I won't let Chi Jingyuan be so proud."
"Onie, we're not bad either, okay?"
"a ha ha ha……"
"I need u" was a live performance, and after it ended, the screen switched to the "overdose" stage they had pre-recorded in the afternoon.
The six-member K team's version of "Overdose" is very similar to the twelve-member version. The choreography is similar, but naturally there are a lot more part and C-position shots for each of the six people.
When the impressive Chi Jingyuan slapped his face, the audience cheered again. It felt like this choreography had become a signature move of this song.
"The last one is..."
"apink, rough camemida."
With Jung Joon Young's loud announcement, as expected, the winner of this issue was Apink's "mr.chu". This is the first winner of "m!c" for two consecutive weeks.
So far, they have won 7 first places in this comeback, which is already a very good result. In addition to last year's "nonono", the response to their two comebacks has been very good. Their popularity and popularity are rising at a speed that is visible to the naked eye. They are already in the rankings.
They have taken the leading position in the competition among girl groups of the same generation that debuted in the past two years.
Jung Eun said before that this is Apink's last week of singing, but it doesn't matter whether it is, because even if they continue to sing, next week they won't be able to beat EXO, who seems a bit unstoppable after their comeback.
It's good to retreat early, so as not to try hard to squeeze in a substitute and end up with your points being doubled and the fans being ridiculed and losing face.
"Congratulations." Chi Jingyuan, Zheng Eunji and several other acquaintances smiled and followed the members and left the stage.
The initial stage of this comeback has been completed, and EXO-K will also be busy with various schedules.
It can be said that the first-day results of Mini 2 this time exceeded expectations, and the results in specific locations will depend on the trend in the next few days.

"Someone call the doctor, catch me quickly..."
The music of "Addiction" is constantly playing in the audio album store on the third floor of Myeongdong called 'Musickorea', and the sound echoes in every corner.
Kim Hee-jin, who came with her, accompanied Lee Min-eun to the album sales area. What caught her eye was EXO's second mini-album "overdose" that was most conspicuous on the shelf.
"Are you sure you want to buy XO's album? Infinite is coming back next week, why don't you compare it?" Jin Xizhen saw her friend heading straight to the XO album area as soon as he arrived, looking at the albums on the shelf and behind him with bright eyes.
The poster was posted on the wall. He hesitated and followed behind with a word of persuasion.
Both of them are freshmen, and they usually have a good relationship. They also like kpop and often discuss it together.
"What's the comparison between Infinite and XO?" Li Min'en gave her a strange look, but she couldn't refute what she said.
"..." Jin Xizhen opened his mouth, thought for a moment and then asked: "Then Taeyang is going to make a solo comeback soon. Didn't you say you were a VIP before?"
"You said it was before."
"Bigbang is quite popular, and I quite like GD... But just listen to the music and become a casual fan. It's really hard for people to want to follow her with her average looks."
Li Min'en didn't look back. She looked at the albums on the shelf and murmured to herself: "It's really frustrating that there is no separate cover. And if you can't open Yuan's photo card, it won't be in vain..."
"It's safer to buy a few..."
Jin Xizhen curled his lips. Seeing that his friend was really attracted by EXO, he was definitely a planet fan.
But this is also a normal thing. Among the star-chasing groups of Peninsula students today, EXO is really the trend among the trends. It was already extremely popular during the "Roar" period, and the momentum of this comeback is even greater. It is obviously just a mini
Just come back.
Just look at the amount of people stopping in front of the album shelf. At this time, there were seven or eight students who were preparing to buy majors around the two of them. Basically, they all came for EXO, and there were a few younger ones.
His eyes were shining as he looked at the poster on the wall in fascination.
"I read online that the album "Overdose" has average configuration."
"I've seen it, it's the usual small card + postcard + photo book + CD."
Li Min'en held up the album she took and looked at it, and at the same time answered very familiarly: "The configuration of the mini album is like this. Why do you ask for so much? More than 10,000 won is not expensive."
"And you get your money back when you open a Yuan card. Do you know how popular a Yuan card is now? His comeback look is really awesome, and the photo taken with the card is also very handsome."
"Sehun and Chanyeol's are pretty good, but they're still not as good as the maknae's."
After talking to each other in detail, I took the album and took my friend to pay, "Let's buy five copies first."
Most of them were people who bought EXO albums. After scanning the code, the cashier gave a usual reminder to every customer who bought "overdose" and pointed to the poster area next to it: "XO's second mini-album does not come with a separate
Posters, you can choose them if you like them."
"Then let me go take a look." After hearing this, Li Min'en pulled Jin Xizhen and walked over there.
"Whose poster do you want to buy?" Jin Xizhen asked, looking around.
"This is not nonsense, it must be Yuan."
Li Min'en walked straight over and started selecting: "Look at the stock, you can tell whose pictorial is the most popular at a glance.
"fall everything."
"fall everything."
At this time, the music in the album store played "I Need U". Hearing the intro, Jin Xizhen couldn't help humming along with it, and then sighed: "This song is really nice. I have been listening to it since yesterday."
It’s been repeated many times.”
"The stage is even better. Did you watch yesterday's "m!c"?"
"I watched it. The choreographer at the end was really helpful. Yuan was so handsome when he was surrounded." Jin Xizhen nodded. She really watched it and was very impressed by the stage.
"That was a 100% killing part. Weren't you killed? It shouldn't be." Li Min'en looked back at her in surprise.
"It's a bit...but I just want to wait until infinite and the sun return to compare..."
"hehe."
Hearing his friend's hearty laughter and feeling the full connotation in it, Jin Xizhen also hesitated a little. After thinking about it for a while:
"How about I buy one too?"
"Okay, if you draw Yuan's little card, remember to exchange it with me."
"...I won't change."
"Then you should wait for your infinite..."
…………
"EXO's second mini-album sound source was released, and the melons of three songs broke the charts at the same time. The sound source trend of the three songs merged into a line, which is spectacular!!"
“No. 1-9 on the melon real-time rankings are occupied by EXO!”
""Overdose" has pre-sales of 780,000, the most for any mini album in history."
"The EXO #overdose #MV released yesterday has attracted the attention of countless fans. The XO members have attracted everyone's attention with their gorgeous performances and outstanding video beauty."
"…………"
In the Woollim Entertainment and Infinite practice room, several members were watching today's online news and hot searches while taking a break. The air around them felt a little solid, and the atmosphere was not very good for a moment.
They will be back next week. In their fourth year of debut, they are in a relatively critical period. The response to their last single album "Destiny" was pretty good, and sales of more than 100,000 are considered very high for them.
And this time, it was finally restarted after a long period of difficulty. Everyone worked hard and carefully prepared the regular second album, hoping to continue the previous popularity and strive to go further.
At the beginning of the year, the company consulted various idol schedules through various internal information, and chose May 21st as the time for the group to return. This is an artist who has not been too popular before and after releasing songs, and the competition is not very high.
A period of time accumulated.
I just didn't expect that EXO, who was originally scheduled to come back in mid-April, has been pushed back again and again for various reasons, and the song release has been postponed to May 15th, which is exactly one week before their Infinite.
Yes, I chose half a day to bump into EXO.
It's true that they are both in the same industry and in a male idol group, so they themselves can understand EXO's powerful suppressive power and terrifying sales that make people feel a little desperate.
Except for Big Bang, the music sources of other boy groups are not good. EXO is considered better. Other boy groups idols compare their popularity and sales. They attract die-hard fans and go on tour to make money.
Others have sales of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. They are already considered very good and powerful first-line boy groups. The ones above are Big Bang and SJ, which have sales of 20 to 300 thousand. Such top-level teams have already competed with them.
The distance between ordinary A-list male idols has doubled.
But this EXO started with pre-sales of hundreds of thousands, and frequently broke record sales of one million. This kind of numbers that they had never dared to think of appeared again and again for XO.
Who can withstand this?
During the hottest period of XO's "Roar" period last year, there were dozens of boy bands either coming back or debuting in the second half of the year, but most of them didn't make any splash at all, except for a few.
Except for one or two groups, all of them lost their jobs right after they debuted.
Because at that time, the core fan group of boy groups, most of the tenth and twenty-generation women went to follow EXO and listen to "Roar". As a result, no one paid attention to the songs of other boy groups.
