ranking of music sources still depends on the listening of ordinary people.These two groups have no relation to the past EXO. The popularity of male groups themselves is not high enough to begin with...Ji Jingyuan followed EXO-K on another round of ineffective promotions.
So-called "unsuccessful singing" means you went on the singing stage but had no gain. No one paid attention, those who should criticize you still criticized you, and your fans didn't increase much. It was as if you recorded half a day of singing program but it wasn't broadcast at all, or the program team edited out all your shots.
Actually, in the peninsula's numerous music stages, at least half of the artists always have ineffective performances, failing to create any ripples. 。Unless there's a surprise performance, or something else special happens, the majority of viewers' attention will be fixed solely on the idol groups performing at the top of the pyramid. 。Well, gotta sing even if I can't win. At least it's better than just picking my toes in the practice room. 。It has been several days since Sunny's birthday. 。Even after days passed, he still remembered the last popularity contest between the two sisters of the girl group a few days ago. 。After Ji Jingyuan answered, Sunny and Kim Hyo-yeon both froze for a second, then looked at each other. They understood each other perfectly and seamlessly moved on to another topic without addressing his previous words. 。Thinking back on the two of them at that time, their expressions switching topics so naturally, as if nothing had happened just moments ago, made Ji Jingyuan chuckle. 。
It's also said that YoonA is a natural actress, these two older sisters aren't bad either
Or, even if they are idols, their acting isn't bad.
On May 20, EXO-M and EXO-K both recorded a stage performance together on SBS's Inkigayo. 。This is the first time EXO has officially reunited on the peninsula since they debuted separately in two countries in April. The two teams performed a full 12-member stage of "MAMA" together. 。For this stage performance to be more expressive, the company also specially added choreography, and the members practiced late into the night for it. 。
The 4 minutes and 30 seconds stage, at the chorus part of the 3 minutes and 58 seconds, added a dance segment with mirrored dancing from both teams. With twelve people moving in perfect synchrony, it definitely had a powerful presence and the stage effect was excellent.
The combined effect this time is really good, the response from the audience is very enthusiastic, the cheers are loud, and the audience is very supportive. 。Later on the internet, this stage performance was also well-received and received some positive reviews. 。
Unfortunately, the ripples it caused were small and quickly drowned out by other news.
The main issue is still that the lead song's style and image are not well-received, it's not something a single stage performance can fix. 。Two days after the performance ended, the company carefully studied the public opinion and online reviews of the stage before finally making a decision. 。After finishing their promotions on the Korean peninsula, EXO-M continued their activities in Xia. The reception to their song "MAMA" there was decent, and the sub-unit's popularity and heat were good. 。while EXO-K is temporarily on hiatus 。
The coach said that there was no team disbandment and everyone should go home to rest.
Some programs are still going to air, and singing performances will continue as planned. After all, this was already agreed upon with the television station beforehand. 。While she will accept lucrative commercial performances, the company won't actively invest resources to promote them. At least not before her next comeback, they won't put more resources into it. 。
If a company doesn't invest, its exposure will naturally decline linearly.
The planning department, along with several managers, announced the news to the entire team. The members reacted in various ways.
Team K was naturally very disappointed and unwilling, but they couldn't defy the company's decision.
Pool Jingyuan didn't seem to mind, their EXO debut album's songs weren't popular on the peninsula, no matter how much they promoted it would be a waste of effort. 。And the company is not satisfied with EXO's performance on stage. 。
On many stages after their debut, EXO-K showed instances of unclear pronunciation, singing with only air sounds, and high notes breaking.
There are also many problems with the dancing, the most obvious being that the movements lack power and the synchronized dancing looks uneven. 。
Untidy dancing can be the most damaging to the overall effect of a stage performance.
This question is not something that can be easily explained, it just requires diligent practice and gradual improvement.
Although a temporary hiatus has been announced, practice will not be reduced in the coming period. The company requires EXO members to work hard on improving themselves and their stage performance over the next few months, preparing thoroughly for their next comeback. 。
Temporarily shelving the group doesn't mean giving up on it. The members of EXO are some of the most talented male trainees the company has had for years, and there are high hopes for them. It's impossible to just give up on them like this.
"Rest assured, the company won't give up on EXO. It's just that resources are really tight recently, and your skills also need to be improved..."After announcing the future plans, manager Lee Seong-hwang saw that the atmosphere was a bit stiff and then gave a few comforting words. 。But did not receive direct feedback from the members. 。Whether it's Do Kyung Soo, Park Chan Yeol, or even captain Kim Min Jae, they all sat with grim expressions on the floor, staring blankly ahead, lost in thought. 。
A silence fell, with only Li Cheng Huan performing a one-man show.
"Jingyuan, General Manager Li wants to see you."
"Lee Seong-hwan sighed helplessly, then said a few more words before stopping and calling out to Ji Kyeong-won." 。
Chi Jingyuan nodded, stood up, and left the practice room.
Please come in. 。"Chi Jingyuan lightly knocked on the general manager's office door, and Li Xiuman's voice came immediately." 。Li Xiuman's office wasn't very big, roughly about twenty to thirty square meters. 。The decor is also very nice. As soon as you walk in, your eyes are drawn to a row of massive bookshelves, which are filled with all sorts of books and some trophies. 。The entire room is decorated in an American style, and the surface of the leather sofa looks shiny. 。Li Xiuman was wearing a light-colored shirt and a burgundy tie, sitting in a luxurious boss chair. 。
"Teacher Lee Xiuman ni
"Chi Jingyuan smiled and bowed to Li Xiuman." 。"Jingyuan! Come sit here!" 。Seeing Chi Jingyuan, Li Xiuman's two eyes narrowed into a slit, and her smile was as kind as Santa Claus, she proactively stood up and waved to Chi Jingyuan to sit down in the chair opposite her desk. 。He personally got up and took a cup of iced coffee from the small refrigerator beside him, and handed it to Ji Jingyuan. 。"Kongsang Mida" 。Chi Jingyuan, who had just sat down, jumped up again. As a result, the coffee thanked him. 。
"hehe"
Lee Xiuman smiled and waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite. 。
He then inquired about Chi Jingyuan's recent circumstances, including the health of Jingyuan's family, whether he had encountered any difficulties at the company, and how his interactions with the members were going.
In the end, Lee Soo-man jokingly inquired about Ji-seong's relationship status, leaving him speechless and somewhat embarrassed. He hurriedly said that he wasn't dating anyone. 。"Hahaha, don't be nervous" 。Li Xiuman smiled and waved his hand: “If it were Jingyuan, there wouldn't be too many restrictions in terms of love life, but it's best to remember to report back to the company.” 。"After all, if something were to happen, the company would be prepared... But in your case, you probably wouldn't encounter anything, hehe." 。"Thank you, Teacher Xiuman." 。Qi Jingyuan expressed his gratitude. 。
As they chatted, Lee Soo-man brought up EXO.
“What are your thoughts on the company’s decision to temporarily put K-Team on ice”“……” Ji Jingyuan pondered for a few seconds before replying, “I fully support the company’s decision. The response to our debut hasn’t been as good as we hoped, and even if we tried hard to promote it, there wouldn’t be much of a positive outcome.” 。And our performance on stage was also a bit lacking, including myself and the other members, we still need to continue practicing in terms of skill, and we must improve our stage presence. 。Chi Jingyuan shared his opinion. 。As a member, he truly felt that their EXO's performance was somewhat mediocre. Those muted videos online were unwatchable; watching them just felt embarrassing. 。"Well, Jingyuan, your understanding of the EXO group is really clear. 。"
Lee Soo Man nodded in agreement and comforted, “Don't worry, the company won't give up on EXO. This decision was made because this year's resources are really tight.”
" 。And now, the break room is being prepared for your return. When you come back, the company will support you in every way possible. 。"Upon hearing what Lee Soo-man said, Ji-yeong laughed and thanked him, adding:“However, teacher Soo-man, the style of this debut song isn't very popular this time, and the image design is the same. Next time…”Ji-yeong said half way through, Lee Soo-man seemed to suddenly remember something, patted his head, and interrupted, “Oh right, there’s one thing I forgot to say" 。Before, when the company held meetings, the head of the music planning department suggested finding a professional American composer to tailor a song specifically for EXO for your next comeback. However, I put it on hold for now. 。"I remember Jingyuan, you're pretty good at creating music too, right This time, why don't you give it a try As a member, you definitely understand EXO's style the best. If the song is suitable, we can include it in the next comeback album tracklist, even as the title track!" 。First published on the website of Chinese Traditional Novelsfirst met, Ji Kyeong-won could also roughly guess the other person's mood and thoughts.It's possible that because the group's situation wasn't good and she was scolded so harshly, she's very sad. It's...
