Peninsula Asteroid

Originally I just casually browsed the news out of habit, but I didn't expect to see such a shocking headline so early in the morning.

Whether they are eating, waiting for the bus, taking the subway, or even going to the bathroom, everyone who sees it can't help but focus on it.

"Naver Entertainment News: Boy group EXO recently successfully entered the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and became a topic of discussion"

"It is understood that in the 26th issue of the 2015 Billboard Hot 100 singles list just released, EXO's new comeback song "boy with luv" successfully entered the list, surpassing world superstar Taylor Swift's hit song "Shake It" Off" ranked 39th.

This is the first boy group in the K-pop music industry to appear on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart. They are the first Peninsula artist to appear on the list after PSY. They have accomplished something that all previous idol groups have not done, creating A stunning new record.

The title song "Boy with Luv" topped the iTunes charts in 52 countries as soon as it was released. It only took one week to appear on Billboard and ranked at the top without any specific promotion. The amazing results now highlight the current trend. The astonishing popularity of the group EXO around the world has made a huge contribution to Kpop going overseas and breaking into the European and American music markets! "

When you click on the red-framed headline of the Naver Entertainment Half Pipe, you will see a brief introduction to the news. Several pictures are also very carefully paired between each paragraph.

These photos were specially selected. There are three in total. The first one is the cover promotion picture of EXO's album "L". Nine people wearing light-colored suits stand in front of the camera. The upper body entering the country is divided into two rows, C position. The source of the blue-haired pool is extremely dazzling.

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

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

Following the impassioned words of the editor in the news, and a faint sense of pride and exaggeration, many viewers who were watching the news reports could not help but feel a special feeling in their hearts, especially at the end. In a screenshot of the list, when the name 'EXO' suddenly appeared among many familiar English singers, many people's moods surged.

This group name composed of three English letters seems a bit out of place in this song list. When viewed together, it always feels a bit out of place. However, this incompatibility more and more highlights the gratification and rareness of their achievements. With those The very contagious words immediately ignited the joy and pride in the hearts of many fans, passers-by and citizens.

This is especially true when I see the person below EXO who is ranked 39th, and who happens to be world-class female singer Taylor Swift when she is 40th.

Artists who are obviously not of the same level, or even of the world, appear on the same occasion. This awkward and real interweaving of the story, the scenes that are a bit unbelievable but do happen, are full of confusion in the eyes of many people. A heart-wrenching epic feeling.

They won’t specifically know that Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off” was released last year, nor will they care that the song has been on the charts for more than 40 weeks for more than half a year, let alone that the song has been on the charts for four weeks Crown single.

Anyway, we are above you now, which is awesome!

In addition to being excited, many people also clicked on the headlines, large and small, in order to satisfy their impulse and enthusiasm and to learn more news.

"EXO ranked 39th on the US Billboard's HOT 100, setting a new record for a Korean group"

"Breaking the B-chart record for Korean groups in the first week of their debut, EXO defines a new standard for Kpop mainstream"

"With undeniable popularity, the world-class group EXO has officially entered the US market"

"PSY has a successor, Kpop is becoming a trend in Europe and the United States!" 》

Except for Naver, basically all other major media reported the news, and even some weekly magazines that did not involve entertainment news reprinted the news. To a certain extent, its influence is not limited to entertainment news.

At that time, PSY became famous with one song, and his huge popularity and influence in the world directly made him the leading heroic figure in the peninsula. Various political figures met and directly distinguished himself from other artists, even though there have been obvious changes every year in these years. The decline has been overwhelming, but its status is still very high. It relied on this amazing performance and influence to successfully enter the European and American markets.

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

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

Many people who usually don't pay attention to Kpop, the music industry, and especially boy bands, also got to know this boy band whose name seems very familiar because of this news, and got a good first impression of him.

In response to this kind of reporting, all news is basically completely positive reporting, and the tone has obviously been set;.

And the people of the peninsula have long been very accustomed to the exaggerated and boastful style of their own media. After all, most citizens actually like this tune, and these media are just following their preferences.

"Ahhhh, EXO's big hair! Big hair! Big hair! Big hair!"

"Today, no, the best news I've heard this year!"

"I'm not mistaken, it's really on the B list!! I thought it was a joke at first, the oppas of XO are really amazing, this song is written by Yuan Oppa, it is indeed my man kkkk "

"I am an international student studying in LA. I usually don't pay attention to Kpop and only like Meiyu, but this news really surprised me. The gold content of the single Top 100 on the B chart is still very high, and the score of 39 in the airborne It's really scary for a Korean group...

And I checked the news 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 besides PSY. Since last year, their fans here have grown rapidly. A group of very loyal and crazy regular fans, and Asians are not the majority of them. On the contrary, many white and colored girls like them very much. To be fair, they are really amazing. Although they only made it to the list this time, But I am optimistic about their successful entry into the European and American markets. "

"Looking at it this way, I think there is no suspense in the TOP men's team battle. Originally, this time the most important head-to-head confrontation EXO defeated Bigbang in all aspects. This time it directly broke into Ami. If I were Bigbang, I would lose I have nothing to say..."

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

In the comment area of ​​the relevant news, whether it is the ecstatic Ailis who want to jump up, or the ordinary passers-by who are also concerned about this time, they are very interested in their own opinions, because this kind of thing really shows the national pride , so it is basically a praise evaluation, among which there are many foreign students and people who are more knowledgeable who take the initiative to come up with the gold content of the top 100 singles on the popular science B list, and the rareness of the term 39.

However, when V.I.P was mentioned, the atmosphere suddenly became wrong. Immediately after the above comment, Ellie directly posted a chat picture in the bigbang fan group, which was specially intercepted by her undercover agent among the VIP fans.

Unlike the above comment saying 'I have nothing to say when I lose', the bigbang fan group in the screenshot is very lively. At a glance, most of the chats are such as 'Axi', 'I can really brush', 'How much did you spend on SM It’s a lot of money.” “What’s the use of being on the list, it’s the most embarrassing to be on the list for a week.” “Playing songs next week will kill them.” “Disgusting, I’ll never look at the B list again.”

It’s just that seeing this screenshot in this environment, not only Ai Li, but even ordinary passers-by couldn’t help laughing when they saw it. They felt that they could smell a strong sour smell even through the screen. .

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

A headline news in the morning suddenly made the already lively peninsula music world even more heated, and at the same time, with the spread of influence, EXO's name and name were directly out of the circle.

In addition to looking at the flowers in the fog and joining in the lively passers-by, the surprise of many practitioners in the circle and idols about this matter is actually not weaker than the former to a certain extent.

…………

"Assi..."

In SM Girls’ Generation’s practice room, after a period of practice, it’s time for a break. Except for a few people who don’t know what to do when they go out, everyone else is sitting on the sofa or on the floor and chatting on their phones.

After taking out his mobile phone, he reviewed the news that he had read in the morning, and at the same time saw Chi Jingyuan's reply to himself, "Ani, we are just a little bit lucky. Of course, Nuna are stronger in terms of strength." After the tone was clearly embarrassing, Kim Taeyeon couldn't help but curse directly.

"This brat is really..."

Not long after waking up in the morning, I saw this news. At that time, Kim Taeyeon and the others were surprised, and chatted about it. She even sent a message to Chi Jingyuan, which was both an inquiry and a congratulation.

As an insider, especially someone who has personally experienced the difficulties of entering the United States, Kim Taeyeon is very aware that the US market is not that easy to enter. The discrimination, estrangement, arrogance, and various factors are daunting. In addition, the money and resources invested in running the company there are several times higher than those on the peninsula. As a result, Girls' Generation only had a taste of it at the beginning, and immediately retreated after working hard for a period of time.

SM has been in the United States since BOA, but until now there is nothing to gain or accomplish.

The same is true for their Girls’ Generation. To be honest, their development in the United States was not good that year, and they didn’t get any real benefits. It can only be said that they gilded the brand of Girls’ Generation with a wave of gold.

Successive failures made SM also start to be more cautious. They haven't made any moves in recent years. Unexpectedly, EXO seems to suddenly open a door today.

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

"Who else can it be? Jing Yuan, who else can Wuli Taeyeon scold so affectionately?" Huang Meiying glanced at Kim Taeyeon with a smile, and replied very understandingly.

"What about sending text messages? I guess so, today's news is really big." Jin Xiaoyuan nodded with a smile.

Huang Meiying also looked at today's news and analysis of various reports with her mobile phone, and the expression on her face became serious: "Jing Yuan and EXO are really good, they didn't go there specifically to promote, they accounted for a large proportion With no radio points at all, he can still airborne 39, this score is already considered a blast."

"And judging by their trend and influence, it is difficult to climb the rankings in a week, and it is estimated that they can make another push.

Huang Meiying, whose hometown is in the United States, is very familiar with the B-list, and she is also the member who is most aware of EXO's amazing performance. She paused, and couldn't help but sigh: "If our "The Boys" had such a score at that time, It is estimated that later..."

"Yeah, be quiet!"

Kim Taeyeon would say that every time she heard a topic she didn't want to hear, or when she couldn't make others anxious. At this time, she directly interrupted the other party, raised her head and gave Huang Meiying a fierce stare.

But Huang Meiying wasn't annoyed at all, she squinted her eyes and blew a kiss to him across the air.

Seeing that the captain spoke, and the fact that the other members didn't really want to mention the past, they simply stopped talking about the past and continued to talk about EXO.

""Boy with luv" is really nice, but it's not going to be so popular in the United States, right?"

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

"Yi~ The media on our side don't know about it yet, they're blowing it up when they encounter this kind of thing."

"Did the company really not promote it there? Check out the list or something?"

"No, I just heard from my manager Ouba that XO's nearest work center is not there. The company is actually quite surprised that there is a sudden big news this time."

"That's really amazing..."

Listening to her sisters discussing EXO, Lin Yuner, who sat cross-legged on the edge of the wall for a long time and watched the news on her mobile phone, finally couldn't help but raised her head and asked: "Is XO... so popular now?"

In the first half of the year, she had been filming the TV series "War God Zhao Zilong" in Xiaguo, and she just returned to Seoul after finishing the filming, and then immediately practiced dancing with the members, rehearsing for the upcoming comeback, it can be said that she was very busy. Touching the ground, every day is very fulfilling.

Especially when filming, it can be said that Lin Yuner spent most of her energy because of the environment, language, and hard acting, etc. During that time, she devoted all her attention to filming, wanting to play her role well, so Relying on this company, she managed to get the dramas she received into the mainland market, which gave her a good start in her Xia Guo acting career.

So during that time, she didn't pay much attention to the news on the peninsula, except to occasionally browse to see if there were any major events.

After wrapping up and returning to Seoul, she felt that EXO had changed at some point in person.

Although it was very popular before, after all, the qualifications are there. At best, it is a rookie boy group that debuted for a year or two. Last year, there were incidents of members leaving the group one after another, and the way to rise was blocked at once.

However, Lin Yuner just didn't pay attention to it for a few months. When she came back, she suddenly found that EXO had been reborn in a short period of time. The popular boy group in her impression was now going to compete with bigbang for TOP, and she was about to step on it. Watching the other party climb to the top, there will be voices directly in the United States.

I'm just filming a movie, can it change so fast?

"Yoona has been shooting a scene for several months, why does it feel like she has gone to space? EXO is the hottest right now." Kim Hyoyeon glanced at her in surprise, saw Lin Yuner's eyes, curled his lips and explained to her After a while: "In this short period of time, they come back once a month, and the title song is very popular..."

"Oh, are we getting old?"

Seeing a few people next to Lin Yuner start popular science, Huang Meiying couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Yeah, please be quiet!"

...

"Ah Jinjia, EXO is really..."

Just finished recording a clip of "sixteen" and eating the ice cream that he hadn't finished eating just now, Yu Dingyan heard the sound of the coffee shop and cut the song to "boy with luv". Hearing the extremely familiar prelude, he couldn't help it He opened his mouth and said: "Obviously I don't want to pay attention, but it seems that I can see it everywhere, maybe this is the general trend...

As she said that, she looked at Lin Nayeon who was also eating ice cream beside her: "Is that right, Nayeon?"

Yu Dingyan liked to tease her from time to time after he found out that Lin Nayeon had stepped out of the previous turmoil and successfully transferred to Chi Jingyuan's black fan.

"It's just the last B list. It's not surprising that the seniors of Wonder Girls have never been on the list."

Lin Nayen was holding the ice cream in her hand and ate it with big mouthfuls. A pair of rabbit teeth opened and closed, biting the spoon creakingly. When she finished eating, she shook her head and made the sound of 'Amu Amu Amu', biasing from time to time. With a sip of his mouth, it seemed to indicate that the ice cream was delicious, and he was in a great mood, without being affected at all.

"hehe……"

Seeing this sister's childish look, Yu Dingyan laughed all of a sudden, then she turned to look at Zhou Ziyu on the right: "Why doesn't Ziyu eat?"

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

The ongoing task is a guerrilla performance. After regrouping, the three of them were divided into one group this time.

"Is that so?" Yu Dingyan nodded and didn't say anything, but secretly wrote it down in his heart. After eating ice cream, he couldn't help turning to the topic of EXO: "Bigbang felt that they couldn't beat EXO this time. After the news came out today It feels like the victory has been decided.”

"Amu Amu Amu..."

"No. 39, if the seniors of our company can do it, PDnim doesn't know how excited he will be. I heard that he has always been obsessed with making it to the United States."

"Amu Amu Amu..."

"But with such good grades, you must be very busy... Don't eat so fast, don't you think it's cold?"

"Amu..."

Seeing the scene of these two sisters getting along with each other very well, especially Lin Nayeon's speechless childish appearance, Zhou Ziyu also laughed cheerfully, but after hearing Yu Dingyan's words at the end, She seemed to have thought of something, after hesitating for a while, she took out her phone, opened her address book and sent a message:

"Are you busy these two days? Then come out tomorrow?"

After sending, 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:

"Let's be a little later."
