Peninsula Asteroid

In fact, from the day when the sound source of "X" was released on April 1st, there have been some other disharmonious voices among EXO fans, but with the fermentation of time and the spread of heat, it has reached the last two days. Finally, it became more and more intense.

The reason is that Wu Sehun’s only fans found that their idol’s title song "call me baby" and "Spring Day" in the two recent "E" and "X" comebacks have very few individual parts. They specially produced two songs The video of EXO member's personal part time in the title song was posted on forums, YouTube and fan clubs.

The video clearly counts the time allocation of each member's individual aria for each song except for the chorus part.

Admiralty Chen has the longest individual part time in "Call Me Baby", with a length of 33.8 seconds, followed by Chi Jingyuan with 29.7 seconds.

And Wu Shixun, who was the last one, only had 8.3 seconds, almost a quarter of Chen's time.

And when it came to "Spring Day", it was even more outrageous. The first part of Bian Baekhyun was as long as 48 seconds, and the second part of Chi Jingyuan was also 45 seconds.

And Wu Shixun is still the last one, only 5 seconds.

In "Spring Day", he only raps three lines throughout. Although there are many rap parts in this song, almost all of them are divided by Park Chanyeol and Ji Jingyuan.

The second-to-last Kim Jong-in and the third-to-last Kim Min-seok Xiumin were not much better, they both lasted only seven or eight seconds.

On the one hand, they are showing their faces and singing all the time, and on the other hand, they can't sing a line or two after a song. At first glance, the contrast is extremely strong.

In fact, the part allocation of EXO songs has been very uneven all the time. Almost every part of the song is allocated by the four main singers of Ji Jingyuan, Do Kyungsoo, Byun Baekhyun and Kim Jongdae. Park Chanyeol can be stable. Most of the rap is allocated, and the rest is that Kim Junmyeon can occasionally get a few more lines, and the rest of the members can basically only eat some leftovers.

This is still when the title song is a POP dance song. If it is a lyrical song, it will be even more extreme. For lyrical titles such as "The Miracle in December" and "Let It Be Natural", I wish the four main singers would sing the whole process. The members can only get two sentences for Jin Junmian, and for the rest, they basically watch from the side the whole time they go on stage, and they don’t even need to bring a microphone.

This time, "Spring Day", which is more lyrical, is still the lead singer's home game. Although the part allocation is not as extreme as before simply not bringing other people to play, the comparison of the duration of the first one and the second one, which is nearly ten times the appropriate time, is indeed a bit dazzling.

Such a stark and funny comparison immediately made some members, especially Wu Shixun's only fans, couldn't stand it anymore, and directly posted on the Internet to tear up, angrily complaining about SM's own boss, saying that if SM is still so biased and inappropriate, they Fans of members who have been treated unfairly will refuse to buy future EXO albums.

In addition to tearing up the company, Admiralty and Baekhyun, who have the most parts, are also the targets of yin and yang attacks, and the entire interior of Aili suddenly comes and goes, becoming a mess.

"Why do Chen and Baekhyun have so many parts? Even the lead singer is a little too much, and it's useless to co-author other members? I don't even know what the members like Sehun Xiumin are doing on stage."

"It's not like our Xun fans didn't participate in all XO's albums and rankings. As a result, one is 50 seconds and the other is 5 seconds. The company is too biased. Seeing this comparison is really cold. I can’t get more popularity if I have more than one part, and I’ve always been in the lower circle. Isn’t this a waste? Is it okay to give it to others? Anyway, if it’s still like this, I won’t buy the next single.”

"Why are you scolding us Chen? This is the company's share and not his own share, so he thinks that we Zhong Dawei's fans are easy to bully? Yuan's part is always second and third, only a little less than the first every time, He is still the album producer of the group and has the right to speak in terms of parts, Wu Shixun's five seconds may be divided by him, why don't you scold him?"

"Because they know that the number of Yuan's only fans is countless times theirs, they can't win, laughing to death."

"Because Yuan is the album producer, songwriter and the most popular member, it is understandable that there are more parts, but he is not the one with the most, why should Chen and Baekhyun?"

"Speaking so much, isn't it still bullying?"

"Who doesn't know that Yuan is from the royal family?"

"Thank you Yuan for taking us away. Don't get involved in things like tearing up parts yourself. Yuan fans are already very satisfied with the current situation. It's too late to help Oppa hit the rankings."

In fact, members like Oh Se-hoon and Kim Min-seok have always had very few parts, and the fans have actually been dissatisfied for a long time, and this time they really couldn't help but burst out.

These two days have been really torn apart. It can be regarded as the most intense conflict among fans since EXO’s debut except last year’s Luhan’s resignation from the team. Onlookers and watch the excitement.

But in terms of effect, it's not really that big.

A large club like SM will not change its internal plans and settings for EXO because of the dissatisfaction of some fans. How should the members of EXO plan, which direction does everyone prefer to develop, and who looks good every time they come back? Those who are amazing are generally ordinary, how many parts are in each song, who is the Killing part for, who is the main pusher, who is explosion-proof, and so on. Listen to the company's arrangements.

Although these plans may be changed due to certain things, there is a high probability that they will not be due to fans' dissatisfaction.

And SM, who has been in the music industry for many years, knows these fans best. Although it seems that there is a lot of resentment, all kinds of threats to the company not to pay and no longer support. It's all about lip service, as long as the next title song adds a little more weight to the members, and then next time there is a calendar, peripherals, or even a signing event and a concert, they will definitely hate iron Weakness scolded the company for finally becoming a human being, and at the same time, one by one was more active than the other, and the purse was cleared faster than anyone else.

Fans, if you don’t abuse, how can you have a solid fan effect, and how can you connect more closely with idols?

When it comes to the next time, fans will only think so:

‘You can see that Sehun/Xiumin is already in such a miserable state. Every time he takes a microphone up on the stage, he just says ‘EXO’ to declare the group name. If we don’t support him, what should he do? '

They have already seen through.

However, this kind of fan mutual tearing will not affect the company's planning, but it will affect the atmosphere in the EXO team. Some big fans, local fans or station sisters and members actually have contact information with each other. Member media That will also go online, and it is very clear that my fans are tearing up with other people now.

Although the members like Oh Sehun and Kim Minseok who have been few in the past are already used to it, although they will definitely be upset, but it’s okay if no one mentions it. Now someone has brought it up and it’s so lively. Seeing such a bright and harmonious The ironic comparison will definitely make me feel very uncomfortable.

So the atmosphere in the EXO team has not been particularly good these days, conflicts are not to mention, but it will appear a little weird.

...

"Your fans have already issued a protest against SM, and you will go to the company to demonstrate in two days. Why are you still pretending to be cold?"

Chi Jingyuan read a piece of anti-thief appeal against SM released by Wu Shixun Wei Fan in the forum, tasted the fierce words and unsmooth writing in it, and then smacked his lips, feeling speechless and feeling a little bit, turned his head and poked it with his elbow He glanced at Wu Shixun who was sitting next to him.

"well……"

Perhaps because he had already seen this post, Wu Shixun sighed heavily, his tone and expression were clearly complicated, some were happy and relieved, some were dissatisfied and angry, and at the same time he was a little speechless.

The maintenance of fans is of course making people happy, but...

Today is the afternoon of April 6th. At this time, EXO, who finished playing songs for the first week of comeback, is in the guest lounge behind the recording stage of the variety show "Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook" on KBS TV.

Nine members were sitting scattered in the room, each of them was holding a stack of materials and was reading and memorizing the rough script and question-and-answer process sent by the program staff just now. .

"Ah……"

Hearing Chi Jingyuan's words, several members nearby couldn't help laughing softly.

The most exciting news related to EXO in the past few days, apart from the uncharacteristically rising sound source of "Spring Day", is this matter that fans are tearing up.

It's just that it was not easy to bring up this topic in the team when it was the most intense two days ago. After all, part allocation has a lot to do with popularity. The Internet is still quite fierce, but the emotions of the members involved have eased a lot.

"This way..." Chi Jingyuan pretended to think for a few seconds, and snapped his fingers like a flash of inspiration, "Why don't we propose to the company that when recording "boy with luv" after a while, the assistant Let you use a female voice to reverse the part of the song..."

"Get out, go to hell."

Faced with this unreliable proposal, which was obviously meant to make fun of him, Wu Shixun unceremoniously cursed and gave him a middle finger.

"Ha ha……"

There was another burst of laughter nearby, and the quiet atmosphere just now because of reading the materials became lively. Jin Junmian put down the script in his hand after hearing it, and asked curiously: "By the way, Jing Yuan, "boy with luv" has decided Should we find someone to do the feat or should we sing it ourselves? When will we start recording?"

Regarding the production of the song, among the members, Chi Jingyuan is currently involved as a producer, and the other members only hear some news occasionally and do not know the latest progress.

"It hasn't been decided yet, it's under discussion... I'm more inclined to sing by ourselves, after all, we haven't found anyone to do feat since our debut."

Chi Jingyuan shook his head, talked about the general process of the last production meeting, and then thought for a while: "The recording should wait until the results come out, we haven't practiced the dance of this song... and " The MVs for the two songs of "O" have not been filmed yet, and there is also the matter of the concert, there are really enough things recently."

"I remember Brother Seung Hwan said last time that the "Spring Day" play will be shortened this time, and it won't be played for a full month like "Call Me Baby"."

"should be……"

After chatting for a while, other guests who participated in the recording today also went to another lounge in the backstage. Under the leadership of the manager, several people from EXO took the initiative to say hello.

"Senior, Aniha Sai..."

Coincidentally, Chi Kyung Won, who also participated in the recording of "Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook" today, is very familiar with him. He happened to be Park Jin Young whom he met not long ago.

"Hey Yigu, you guys are really hot lately."

Park Zhenying greeted them with a smile and greeted them with a Korean-American female singer Jessi. When she walked to Chi Jingyuan's side, she even patted him on the shoulder to show her closeness.

"Brother Zhenying, are you... going to release a song?"

Seeing that the two looked like partners, Chi Jingyuan blinked and asked curiously.

"Yes, the album will be released on the 12th."

Park Zhenying nodded to confirm, then frowned and looked over: "Didn't you already make a notice a few days ago, Jing Yuan, don't you know? You really don't care about it at all, bro."

"Hahaha..." Jessi took the lead and laughed, and Chi Jingyuan also laughed innocently with the other members.

Who cares about your return?

JYP is really gone.

"By the way, we have already discussed with your company about "sixteen". I will send you some materials in two days, and the recording is estimated to start around the end of this month."

After joking for a few words, Park Zhenying remembered the business and happened to meet Chi Jingyuan, so he took the initiative to mention it. Seeing that the other party nodded to show that he understood, he didn't say much, squeezed out a smile and chatted with other members After that, they said goodbye to each other, EXO went to communicate with MC Yoo Hee Yeol in advance, and then returned to the lounge to wait for the recording to start.

"Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook" is a music talk show. Each episode will invite several groups of guests to the scene to participate in chatting, interaction and live performances, which can immediately resonate with the audience participating in the recording.

Many programs in the chat session have no special features, but the special feature of this program is that the live stage of the guests does not play all the accompaniment, but cooperates with the live band of the program, and cooperates with a very high-quality band and audio equipment to show It is very different from the show of playing songs, and it has a more real stage charm.

The highlight of this program is that the live sound effects are very good, and the stage performances, especially the lyrical songs, if they are performed properly, the live effect is very good.

Therefore, the average age of the viewers of this program will be older, and many of them are adult audiences in their twenties, thirties and above.

Generally, the ratings of the music programs of the three major TV stations are around 1%, and most of them will be lower than this figure, while "Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook" is generally between 1-2%, which is considered to be relatively good in terms of word-of-mouth and ratings An outstanding music program.

"What is the obvious difference between the sketchbook and the general music program that often has popular singers appearing recently..."

"After seeing this question, I thought about it carefully."

MC Yoo Hee Yeol in a gray suit stepped onto the stage in the studio, facing the two or three hundred live audience who participated in the recording, he didn't make any exciting opening, but just chatted plainly,

"Abandoning the popular and non-popular, or whether the music is difficult or not, we try our best to introduce as many kinds of music as possible to everyone, 'can you bring you some comfort on the weekend of a busy week' we really It was prepared in such a mood.”

"Okay, the first guests to perform today... are the friends who were introduced by Sketchbook for the first time."

As Liu Xiyeol said, he looked up at the audience with a smile, and the audience cheered in a timely manner, as if they had already learned which guests were coming today.

"Among the young people, if they don't know about this combination, in our common language, they are cavemen...their popularity has really reached this level."

"In the music market of the peninsula music industry, it has sold one million copies again after eleven years."

"Now it's the performance of XO, an international idol who has broken out of Asia and is widely loved all over the world."

"ah……"

In a burst of restrained cheers, Chi Jingyuan and other five members stepped onto the stage. After standing still in the center, the brilliant lights unfolded behind, and the prelude that made the audience feel very familiar no matter their age was played:

"Yao, okay!"

"Sexy."

As soon as the prelude came out, there was a burst of cheers that were much louder than before, and some audience members who didn't respond just now couldn't help but look surprised.

In addition to "Spring Day" that will be performed later, the reason why "Roar" was chosen to start is because the audience of this show is slightly older. They may not have heard of EXO's other main shows, but it has been the most popular so far. Nationality The highest song is this "Roar".

At the beginning, the audience at the bottom started to sing along, you said one sentence to another, making this studio that was a little quiet before seem to be a concert scene.

The melody of "Roar" is too touching and too famous.

"You're always short of breath, and you're walking towards me."

Chi Jingyuan sang the first line with his hand microphone, and he understood it after hearing his own voice through the earphones.

During the rehearsal before the recording, he discovered that the stage effect of "Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook" is indeed very different from that of the song playing program. With the accompaniment of the live band, the singing vocals are very clear and delicate. You can clearly hear a lot of details. Among them, the sound of breathing and ventilation will be flawed if it is slightly louder. The quality of the entire sound effect is very outstanding, so that the sound of singing seems to surround the entire stage and studio. A feeling that fills the room.

Performing under this kind of sound effect, if the strength is enough, it is really easy for people to immerse themselves in it, and it is very enjoyable.

The stage of "Roar" this time mainly focuses on singing, limited by the size of the stage, and holding a hand microphone leads to improper performance, which leads to some restraint and perfunctory dancing, and the movements are not very standard.

"If you don't back down, you don't care if you get hurt."

During the support, 9 people performed the final Ending pose, ending the stage performance of the debut.

"Anihasai, I'm EXO's Baekhyun..."

"..."

"Aniha Sai, I'm EXO's youngest member."

The field staff on both sides quickly brought up nine chairs, and EXO divided into two rows to do the job. First, under the guidance of MC Yoo Hee Yeol, the conversation session officially started.

"This is the first time XO has appeared on the stage of our sketchbook... Hey Yigu, it's really hard to invite." Liu Xiyeol sat next to him, glanced at the people next to him and couldn't help but sighed, then turned to the audience : "Do you know how many times we sent out invitations to SM before we got them?"

"three times?"

"Four times?"

The audience in the front row below raised their hands and guessed that the expressions and states of the girls were very excited, and they felt that they might be Ai Li who came to see EXO.

"It may be a little more than you imagined, it's really hard to invite..." Yoo Hee Yeol didn't say it clearly, and took it with a smile: "Now EXO is really a big trend, it has surpassed the Hallyu, and it is really in It is very popular throughout Asia..."

After touting it, Liu Xilie changed his style of painting: "However, in fact, among people over 30 generations, they may know or have heard of the name, but they don't want to know the details..."

"Inside."

Jin Jun reluctantly smiled and nodded, confirming this statement.

The main fans of the Peninsula Boys Group are female students of the 10th generation to young women of the 20th generation. The proportion of fans in this range is the highest. Once the number of fans reaches the 30th generation and above, the number will plummet. Even with EXO’s current reputation, in Many elderly people have only heard their names and the melody of some songs, and many people don't even know what they do.

"Among the 30 generations of people, who should be the most popular among the members?" Liu Xiyeol asked following the trend.

"Um……"

Several members looked at each other, and then pointed to Chi Jingyuan who was sitting next to the second row, and Chi Jingyuan didn't deny the camera, and smiled subtly with his eyes narrowed.

"Yuan?"

"Nai, because the maknae filmed...some TV dramas before, he is really well-known and popular in the 20s and 30s, especially among office workers." Jin Junmian nodded and explained.

""Unborn"!"

Because it's a KBS program, they can't directly say the name of tvN's drama, but the fans and audience below have no such taboo, and they all shouted the name of the drama with a smile.

"Oh, actually, I really like watching it too. The acting is really good." Liu Xilie nodded knowingly, and also praised him, and smiled after hearing Chi Jingyuan's "Kangsang Mita" thank you. , and then said: "The TV drama is another way, so today I will take this opportunity to use an excellent stage to catch people of the 30th and 40th generation. We will proceed in order today."

"Okay, then let's formally dissect EXO now and ask a very simple question."

"OK."

"What does EXO mean?" Yoo Hee Yeol asked with a confused and curious expression as if he was playing the role of many third and fourth generation audiences who knew XO for the first time.

"Hmm...means the name from EXOplanet."

"Planet EXO?"

"Inner is named after the EXO planet that exists outside the solar system. A new star from an unknown world has never been heard of on Earth..."

Jin Junmian drew circles in the air with his hands to make planets, gestured while explaining solemnly, but said something like a bible, and the people watching couldn't help laughing.

After embarrassingly and shyly showing their super powers and talking about some other topics, the chat session came to an end.

The focus of this program is not chatting, the main feature is the live stage of the live band version, which is the most attractive place for the audience.

When the lights dimmed, Liu Xiyeol left the stage to listen, and the stage manager quickly rushed up and moved the nine stools away, and spread them out on the stage. When the lights came on again, the nine members sat on the stools scatteredly, holding hand microphones, gently Cover your ears.

The band behind the stage started playing at the right time, and the unique prelude of "Spring Day" sounded slowly.

There is no choreography, no stage special effects, and no wink, various poses and rich camera language, live bands perform together, and the original sound version of "Spring Day" live stage is presented to everyone for the first time.
