Peninsula Asteroid

After Chi Kyung Won released the debut video on February 20th, SM released the debut teaser videos of other members one after another in the next few days.

On February 22, the video of LAY, Kim Jong Dae, and Baekhyun's combination was released.

Then, on February 23, Park Chanyeol's teaser video was released. Then on the last day of February 29th and March 1st, the videos of Kim Jong-in Kai, LAY and Oh Se-hoon were released respectively. So far, all EXO's debut teaser videos have been released, a total of 23 videos.

Most of the videos are actually filmed in advance, only Chi Jingyuan was filmed two days ago, because of the relationship between time and planning, he only has one teaser video, while most of the other members have 2 to 3 , Jin Zhongren alone accounted for almost half of the most.

This is not a problem at all, after all, they haven't officially debuted yet, and everyone doesn't have many fans. But after Chi Jingyuan's video was released on the 20th, his paratrooper airborne team, which had no fans, suddenly became popular. The number of fans jumped directly to the top of the team members in just ten days. Someone specially set up a fan club for him, and in just ten days, his debut video had reached the top among all members.

But after all the debut videos were made public, his fans found out that there was only one debut video for his artist, and they were very dissatisfied with this. Many people went to SM's official website to leave messages, complaining about SM's unfair treatment. There is only one video for such an excellent person, but the gigolo with long broom-like hair has released so many, he is really blind.

Here is a strange phenomenon. I don’t know if it’s because the style of Chi Jingyuan’s debut video is very different from other people’s. People who like Chi Jingyuan really like it, but most of these people don’t like EXO’s other videos. People have no feelings, only like him.

This kind of behavior of only liking one member of the group is called "Weifan", while liking all the members because of liking a group is called "tuanfan". Generally speaking, the number of Weifans is not very large, which is not comparable to that of Tuanfan, but Chi Jingyuan's Weifans are exaggerated, and there are many poisonous Weifans among them.

Du Wei refers to fans who only like one member in the group but also hate other members.

So recently the message board of SM official website, and the comment area under the debut videos of each member are very lively, and fans of various factions can often be seen tearing each other:

"Trash SM, we are so good that we only have one video, really blind."

"My God! How did these ugly bastards have the nerve to stand with us Yuan?"

"I've watched all the videos of this group. Except for Yuan, I can only describe the style and temperament of the others."

"That Kai is so ugly that there are so many teaser videos, is he a royal family?"

"Can you stop mentioning your family under other people's videos? Is it polite?"

"Are they all in the same group?"

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the level of Cody who designed Yuan's image and the PD who shot the video are obviously a level higher than that of other members. That's why they feel that the style doesn't match and makes others look cheap."

"SM is really speechless. They can shoot videos so well. Isn't Yuan's hairstyle and outfits amazing? Why can't the other brothers do the same? I feel sorry for Luhan."

"This junior group hasn't even made their debut yet. They are torn apart like this internally. Hurry down and disband immediately. Don't steal our family's resources."

"It's because of this group that we have lost a lot of resources recently. Can you go back?"

"..."

Such lively mutual spraying also attracted the attention of the SM company's publicity department, but this is not a bad thing for them. After all, the most important thing for a group that has just debuted is to have attention. Only attention can bring popularity, even if there are quite a few The comments are all insults, black EXO, but for the company, black is also a sign of attention, black and red are also red.

They are very experienced in black and red, and the several groups that SM has debuted have basically used this method to hype.

As for the fact that Yuan has too many fans and even overwhelms the group fans, the SM planning department thinks this is a good thing.

Because the resources of each company are limited, it is impossible to treat everyone as the main supporter. Generally speaking, a team will mainly support two to three of them, and bring a lot of attention to the group with personal popularity, and then promote That attention translates into team popularity.

This set of plans is basically applicable to all companies that launch idol groups in the entire peninsula.

However, Yuan only released a debut teaser video with a low cost and was able to gain such a high popularity and bring so much attention. It was a surprise for the company, and it also made them feel confident about the successful debut of EXO. greater self-confidence.

After releasing the debut teaser video of all members, after a week of preparation, the MV of the prelude song "History" was released on March 8, and the sound source of "History" was released a day later.

While the company is intensively preparing for the debut plan and putting in various materials, the members are not idle. They are also receiving the last round of "debut teaching" while practicing non-stop.

Still in that practice room, all twelve members of EXO were divided into two rows and sat on the wooden floor, while a woman in her thirties was standing opposite them, teaching them a lesson.

The teacher first emphasized the etiquette that must be paid attention to after the official debut. When you see a senior, you must salute.

"Boys of your age sometimes have too much self-esteem and do some ridiculous things. Don't think saluting is a bad thing, you pay attention to etiquette, seniors and fans will only think you are polite, all newcomers are Come here like this, after a while after your debut, newcomers will come to salute you."

"If you go outside, such as a TV station, except for your managers or assistants, absolutely don't eat any food or drink any water given to you by anyone else. Don't forget about Yunho. Also, even if it's yourselves If there is no manager to take care of the water or food, you can’t eat it after leaving your sight for a period of time.”

"You must pay attention to your expressions in front of the camera. Any movements and subtle expressions of yours will be completely recorded. Whether it is suspended for screenshots or maliciously edited, it is easy to be exploited. Therefore, expression management is very important. Important, if you don't know how to do it, just keep smiling, just like Yuan, his smile is very good."

"When you are asked some sensitive questions in a variety show, there is a special set of words to deal with. There should be a teacher who gave you a lesson before, and I will review it for you at the end. If you are asked about your seniors in a variety show , You must be polite, and if you are asked about conflicts within the team or fans, you must deny it."

"There is another very common question, which is often asked in variety shows, and that is the ideal type. If you are asked about your ideal type, you can say an older female senior, or directly say a foreign actress, Anyway, if you want to talk about a woman who has nothing to do with you. You must not talk about the girl group members who have been active with you, it will easily make the hearts of fans. Let me ask a question, Yuan, who is your ideal type?"

"I..." Chi Jingyuan didn't expect to be named, so he said casually, "Senior Lin Yuner?"

"Ani! Although she is a female senior, she is not old enough! Moreover, she belongs to the same company, so it is easy to cause misunderstandings. Yoona's male fans are crazy."

"Then... Senior Li Yingai?"

"Correct answer! Sehun, what about you? Who is your ideal type?"

"Um... Miranda Kerr."

"Correct answer..."
