EXO’s Yuan is going to go solo?

Is Chi Jingyuan going to make a solo debut?

And... on February 10th?

After seeing this news, several fans who were excited just now, eagerly anticipating the return of their idols and hoping for continued success, were immediately stunned.

First, I was briefly surprised and stunned because a TOP-level idol like Chi Jingyuan would have such a big news about his solo debut in the near future. Then he reacted in the next second and carefully browsed the official announcement of SM Company. He immediately He started yelling curses.

"Is there any mistake? Three groups of idols from the same company all returned within ten days? Even Yuan and NCT are only one day apart? What on earth do SM think? Do they like their own people beating their own people so much? Or use it? A senior's solo comes to suppress his newcomers."

"Isn't this kind of return schedule an obvious way to use our dream team as cannon fodder? Are you so worried that our NCT treasures will surpass you? Are we all from the same company like this?"

“I went to see Yuansolo’s album configuration released in the official announcement, and then went back to look at the one released at noon. After looking at the configuration of NCT Dream, I really laughed. The configuration of Chi Jingyuan’s mini album is even more luxurious than the regular album. There are four of them on the cover alone. The configuration of Dream Team, the mini one that all fans have been waiting for for so long, is really inferior to it. I know that EXO is very popular, but your SM is not so biased, right? Royal Family is worthy of being The royal family is really disgusting.”

"It's over. Our idol seems to be coming back next month. I was just glad that there hasn't been a big trend recently. I didn't expect to see this the next second... Axi, can you tell me in advance about Chi Jingyuan's solo? We're going to But there’s no way to hide it!”

"The fans of red velvet said that we don't want to compete with the juniors, let alone the seniors. We just want everyone to return to Dafa, silently take away the five girls and be safe."

"A passer-by fan asked weakly, why as soon as this news came out, I looked at many fans and immediately sighed and thought I was cannon fodder, even though the song has not been released yet."

"Nonsense, that's Chi Jingyuan. When he sings a nursery rhyme, all the mentally retarded Allies can cry like idiots and shout about the artwork. Then they bring their own dry food and work around the clock to kill your real master."

The return news of red velvet and NCT Dream did not cause much excitement in the circle except for their own fans' excitement and anticipation. However, in the end, Chi Kyung-won's solo debut was immediately different.

EXO has always been the ceiling of today's boy groups. As the most popular TOP member of EXO and the first member to make a solo debut, the topic of Ji Kyung-won's solo debut has always been an explosive topic that makes people wonder.

Moreover, Chi Jingyuan's popularity is not limited to EXO or the idols themselves. His career as an actor, his pioneering luxury spokespersons, his topicality, his nationality, etc.

All kinds of factors combined, as soon as the news came out, in a very short period of time, it ranked first in the trending search without warning, and it instantly attracted the attention of countless fans and passers-by in the music industry.

Many fans of idols whose return time was close or even had a head-on collision immediately felt like they were in mourning. They made crazy complaints on the Internet about SM's lack of martial ethics and the use of nuclear weapons to suppress people without any warning. Then they quickly called on their idol's agency to change the date. , don’t be cannon fodder.

You must know that idols put a lot of effort into each album and spend a lot of resources and sweat. For some idols who are hovering on the line of life, every album may be their last album. The losses caused by an invalid return are really Very big.

For a time, everyone worked together, and the fans were more anxious and angry than the agency.

However, there are also some anti-fans and passers-by who are not so optimistic, because they saw this online sensation once last year. Although it is much less popular, the process and the rhetoric are basically the same.

... Last year, when EXO's first unit was about to debut, it seemed to be the same situation. Kpop was shattered by all kinds of people, and various calls were made to change the comeback date.

But everyone knows what happened next...CBX was beaten head-on by Twice and lost all face, which made the fun-lovers and anti-fans watch fiercely.

With CBX Zhuyu in front, it’s hard not to think of Chi Jingyuan’s solo debut with them. Many people left sarcastic comments online.

But now Ai Li, especially Chi Jingyuan's only fans, are too lazy to pay attention to those sunspots who will jump out and scream strangely every day, and dive and pretend to be dead when the wind goes against them. At this time, they are all immersed in waiting for their idol's solo. In the excitement of debut.

"The wait is finally here! I heard the news last year, and Yuan Yuan himself said it live, but there was no news or materials for a long time. I thought there was something wrong."

"Ahhhhhhh I'm so excited! The best news I heard today is that Oppa is finally going solo! I have been waiting for too long."

"Fortunately, I hesitated for a long time last week and didn't buy that GUCCI handbag. Now I feel confident after seeing the news."

"Tsk, tsk, it's just a teaser news, and the popularity on the Internet has exploded... I have said before that EXO not going solo is the greatest kindness to Kpop... Unfortunately, the favor has ended now."

"On February 10th, Nan Yongyi shattered Kpop!"

Peninsula's Ellie immediately fell into a carnival. Even though there was only one album configuration, debut date, song style, title song trailer, etc., it didn't stop them from celebrating Ji Jingyuan's title of male Yongyi...

But in fact, compared to the local fans of Airi in the peninsula, Yuanqi from overseas, especially the mainland, is more excited.

…………

"Oh, it's boring."

In Jiangcheng, Mainland China, seventeen-year-old Li Huiru was lying lazily on the sofa in the living room, listening to her parents and relatives chatting loudly. She was browsing the latest entertainment news on her mobile phone. After watching it for a while, she felt very boring.

She is a fan of EXO or Chi Jingyuan. She is a standard Kpop fan. She usually only pays attention to Kpop news. Except for some gossips and scandals about domestic entertainment, she finds everything else boring.

It happened to be the Spring Festival holiday recently. After visiting relatives, I had nothing to do at home.

While she was casually scrolling through the news, the phone in her hand suddenly vibrated continuously. The banner page at the top of the phone popped up one after another for the group chat message she had set up as a special reminder. In a short period of time, it popped up more than a dozen times. The level of enthusiasm made her a little bit nervous. I was stunned for a moment, then clicked in.

She was wondering what other people in the group were talking about, and after glancing at the content, her pupils suddenly shrank in the next second.

“@everyone, Yuan’s solo has been announced!!!!!”

“@everyone, Yuan’s solo has been announced!!!!!”

"@Everyone, go and see."

"What's announced? Solo debut?"

"Where to look!"

"@everyone Yuan Bar has reposted it (with link) and you can go directly to it. SM has specially prepared a Chinese page."

"Ah ah ah, go check it out, Yuan's album configuration, I really cried."

After a few @everyone, the already active group members and those who had dived before all jumped out. The group chat messages kept scrolling at an extremely fast speed. Just as I was about to see clearly what was being said, they were already swiped up. .

But Li Huiru already knows what makes these fans who are also Yuanqi excited.

What I have been waiting for for a long time, my idol Chi Jingyuan is about to make his solo debut!

"ah!"

After reacting, Li Huiru couldn't hold back her excitement and couldn't help but scream excitedly. Before the mother next to her could scold her, she jumped up from the sofa and rushed straight into her room. The room door is closed.

Oppa is going to go solo~ Oppa is going to go solo~

I kept reciting this sentence silently in my mind and lay down on the bed. I couldn't wait to click on the link posted in the group and directly entered the Weibo page.

This is the official account of Baidu Chi Jingyuan Bar on Weibo. The latest blog post is a reprint of SM’s announcement, confirming the news and time of Chi Jingyuan’s upcoming solo debut. The person who posted the post is obviously very excited, and there are still more to come. Three rows of big red exclamation marks were added to show excitement.

This scarf has only been posted for less than three minutes, but there are already thousands of comments below, and they are still growing.

Li Huiru didn't have time to read the comments and directly clicked on the attached link.

This is an official SM company page. There are several cover patterns on it, which introduce the version and configuration of Chi Jingyuan's album. It is obviously translated into Chinese for the consideration of mainland fans, which is very considerate.

Li Huiru, on the other hand, immediately started browsing seriously, and was slightly stunned when she saw the album name at the top.

"In the Mood for Love"

It is divided into two major versions based on language, the Chinese version and the Korean version. The album titles of both versions are all called "In the Mood for Love".

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar thick black traditional Chinese characters printed on several album covers, Li Huiru trembled for some reason.

There is another eye-catching point about the large versions in two languages. The two different album versions, Korean and Chinese, each include a song that is limited to the version. SM also specifically noted a song that is limited to the Chinese version. It is arranged and composed by Chi Jingyuan himself.

In addition, the two language versions each have four covers, namely 'spring', 'summer', 'autumn' and 'winter', which to some extent correspond to the name of the album, echoing youth with the changing seasons of the year. Memories and passage of time.

According to the different seasonal covers, the colors of the four covers are light green, gold, orange and white, which cleverly correspond to the characteristics of each season.

There is no photo of Chi Jingyuan on the cover image of the preview, but some simple backgrounds are drawn with black lines, some are plants, some are trees, or wooden chairs, roads, etc. On top of the scenery, there are Light gold lines outline the silhouette of Chi Jingyuan, and on the side is the album logo engraved in traditional Chinese characters.

The silhouettes of the four covers are all different, and Li Huiru was surprised to notice that if the composition of these lines were connected together, they would exactly form the four letters 'Y U A N'.

A few simple lines reveal a full sense of design. This sense of delicacy and small easter eggs look much more fashionable and attractive than a few letters or a photo.

Even if it wasn't Chi Jingyuan's album, she felt like her eyes lit up when she saw this cover, and she would probably be interested in it, not to mention that it was from her own idol... She already liked it after just one glance.

Then when she saw the cover configurations of different versions, she almost screamed.

Each cover of ‘Spring’ ‘Summer’ ‘Autumn’ ‘Winter’ is not just different. The popular songs that Ji Jingyuan has participated in or performed in concerts over the years, including “YOU=I”, “Rooftop”, “Answer” and other four songs, have all been re-recorded in the studio version and included in the albums with four covers. Each album with a cover will have a unique and exclusive only CD song that cannot be heard in other covers.

Although it is said to be four covers, it is actually four versions of the album.

Then the album configuration, such as photo albums, lyrics books, CDs, stickers, small cards, postcards, etc., all have everything that a Kpop album should have. SM, who has always been stingy in the configuration of artist albums, is surprisingly generous this time. Almost everything is considered and fully loaded.

The y CD itself contains + 2 language-limited songs. It is said to be a mini album, but Ji Jingyuan’s debut album actually contains a total of 12 songs, which has exceeded the songs of most regular albums.

Add to that the two languages, four covers, the cover design that is so outstanding at first glance, and all kinds of extremely luxurious configurations...

No wonder after the album configuration was made public, those fans of Red Velvet, especially NCT, were all jealous and yelled.

The same company, but the treatment is so different...Not to mention NCT, even CBX would probably be jealous.

At the end of the webpage, the final price is marked in bold Chinese: 99R, and a big: February 10.

Li Huiru browsed carefully from beginning to end, especially the design of the four covers and the configuration of the album. The more she looked at it, the more excited she became.

The solo of her idol, who had been waiting for a long time, finally had news, and she was particularly satisfied with every aspect, even a little less satisfied. This configuration and version were completely beyond her expectations, which can be said to be a surprise and pleasant surprise.

Especially when she saw that the Chinese version of the album had a limited Chinese song composed and written by Ji Jingyuan himself, she was overwhelmed with emotion and a feeling of "my support was not in vain" and she was happy to get feedback from her idol.

She also participated in the "I hope Yuan solo has a Chinese song" vote on Weibo and Yuan Bar and other fan gathering places before, and of course she chose to hope.

But at that time, she just clicked it casually, and actually didn't have any hope in her heart, and she didn't even know whether SM or Ji Jingyuan could see the vote.

And to be honest, with the closed mainland market, they can still release a Chinese version of the album, and write the lyrics of the title song in Chinese, which is very attentive... Now in the entire Kpop, only EXO will make a special effort to release a Chinese version of the album when they return.

Even EXO has a tendency to give up, and CBX didn't debut last year.

That's not right... There is also Lin Yuner.

So Li Huiru and many fans who voted didn't have any hope at all. Later, there was no new news, so they gradually forgot about it, thinking it was just a game and didn't take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, when the news of Chi Jingyuan's solo was suddenly officially revealed, she saw the Chinese-only song that was not there at the time, but now added.

At this moment, she really felt like crying.

At this time, various chat banners kept popping up above her phone, and all the fans in the group were all excited and discussing enthusiastically.

"Ahhhh, there are actually Chinese versions of Chinese songs. Oppa really heard our voices. So happy!!"

"Isn't this configuration too strong? Four covers are more than the big groups, and I counted a total of 12 songs, which has already exceeded the configuration of a regular album. I can only say that Yuan is worthy of being Yuan. SM is clear-headed and knows who is the real cash cow."

"To be honest, SM has gradually given up the domestic market in this situation. Even CBX's debut did not have a Chinese album. It is really not easy for Yuan's album to have a special Chinese version this time, and all the configurations are exactly the same as the Korean version. I feel like crying."

"I heard that SM was reluctant to release the news. The Chinese version was strongly requested by Oppa himself, and he even threatened to quit the company. "

"All eight copies of the four Chinese and Korean covers have been ordered, and we are waiting for February 10th... But what I am most looking forward to now is the Chinese-only song. I really want to hear what kind of song Yuan personally composed and wrote the lyrics for."

After browsing the messages in the group, she also joined in the fun and expressed her enthusiasm. Resisting the enthusiasm and impulse in her heart, Li Huiru directly opened her online bank, looked at the accumulated balance in it, nodded with satisfaction and said to herself:

"Finally, I can spend it!"

After checking the balance, she logged into the star-chasing APP she used every day... She has more than just this accumulation. In addition to the money she saved, she has also participated in many fan circle activities for a long time.

Chi Jingyuan has high fan loyalty and organization in the mainland, and is very active with the support of several well-known big fans and rich fans. There are often activities on the APP in several fan communities.

And she has been actively participating in it. Recently, she has been insisting on a paid sign-in activity.

This activity is very simple. You need to check in on the APP every day... But this check-in is not free. You need to pay 6R, and the money from the check-in will be accumulated. After Chi Jingyuan's solo, the official will come forward and buy all the albums without shipping them back.

This activity started when the news of Chi Jingyuan's solo first came out last year, and Li Huiru also participated at that time.

She looked at the 301 consecutive check-ins shown above and nodded proudly.

It's been almost a year, and the check-in fee alone has been close to 2,000 yuan.

In addition, the Spring Festival was only two days ago, and the New Year's money given by the family has not been spent yet...

Li Huiru touched her chin, wondering how many versions and how many copies she should buy to make herself satisfied... But if Yuan is solo, he will definitely have peripherals or photo albums, should I save some for buying.

By the way, there will definitely be meet-and-greet and autograph sessions... Or, try this?

…EXO, which debuted as a Sino-Korean boy group and has been active in the mainland for several years, especially Chi Jingyuan, has a large number of fans in the mainland, and the level of support from fans is unimaginable for many other Kpop groups.

And it should be said that SM chose a really good time to debut. Many of Chi Jingyuan's fans in the mainland are girls in their teens and twenties, and the days of giving out New Year's money during the Chinese New Year are just the time when these girls' wallets are the most abundant.

…………

Soon, three days passed in a flash, and a meeting was held in a lively atmosphere in the conference room on the sixth floor of the SM building.

Chi Jingyuan sat in his seat, turning a pen, looking at the record department not far away and asked:

"How much is the pre-sale sales?"
