While the EXO members are taking time off to work on their own personal information, and the "Goblin" matter on Chi Jingyuan's side is about to be settled, the EXO group's activities are still continuing without any delay.

Except for the pre-recorded "Running Man", SM did not participate in other large-scale outdoor variety shows. Originally, at the invitation of the program team, SM considered letting EXO participate in an episode of the indoor variety show "Knowing Brothers" which has become increasingly popular recently.

", but due to too many things going on recently, I didn't go. After discussing with the program team, I moved it to August or September, before the follow-up album is released.

However, each of the nine members also participated in the recording of several indoor variety shows. In addition, according to EXO's practice, they only need to return to the radio station to manage, plus autograph sessions and some commercial performances, as well as V LIVE broadcasts from time to time, the first comeback period

Week's time is considered to be fully utilized.

As some people joked, with the size of EXO's fans now, even if they post a children's song, they can easily get a place in the song competition show. The quality of the title song of this third album is very good, coupled with the extreme

Attractive and impactful, the style and appearance that make fans ecstatic, the response caused is not as simple as 1 in 1.

The form of the return in the first week can only be described as sweeping in the music source charts such as Gua Bang, the sales list of G Chart, and even spread to the entire music industry. In terms of popularity, except for "Give" which has a fixed audience,

"My Money" can occupy a certain position when releasing music sources, and there is almost no competitor that can compete with it.

In addition to the charts, its influence also exists in all aspects. Less than a week after the song "Miss You" was released, it has already appeared in most restaurants, cafes, schools, and even clubs in Seoul and even the peninsula. This song is so catchy.

The pop ballads from the mouth have gained a lot of love. The melodious and fresh melody is easy to immerse people in, and the tune that can be hummed after listening to it is very helpful in creating an atmosphere.

Many people think that this is the same as EXO's "Spring Day" last year. It is an excellent seasonal song, with warmth and a sense of regret, which is very suitable for single rotation in winter.

Even though it’s summer now…

The dance music attribute of "Monster" is not as outstanding as "Miss" in terms of national popularity, but the style and choreography are even more loved by fans, especially it is loved by many overseas fans. In a short period of time, it has already been posted on YouTube

There were many cover dance videos. Chi Jingyuan's phrase 'You can call me monster!' and the lead dancer's chorus dance were constantly imitated, and the popularity remained high for a while.

In this case, it was soon time to play songs in the second week.

"You can call me monster!"

"Ahh..."

Seeing Chi Jingyuan on the stage striding to the C position and singing the killing part that has become a famous scene, the fans in the audience couldn't help but cheered and shook the cheering sticks in their hands wildly.

Although she has watched all the stage performances last week, and has watched various videos and direct shots on the Internet countless times, every time she comes to this part, looking at Chi Jingyuan in the center of the stage, Ai Li can still be excited.

I felt a strong impact.

Although the song "Monster" has many classic dances and scenes, the part that left the deepest impression is definitely the part of Chi Jingyuan.

After admiring this part with nostalgia, several acquaintances in the audience gathered together and whispered:

"...Have you seen the direct shot of Yuan in the "Music Bank" scene last week? It's super beautiful."

"Of course I've watched it. I've watched it countless times. Yuan's candid shot has been very popular in the past two days. I feel like another candid shot is about to explode."

"Indeed, the black and red costumes and battle-damaged makeup for the singing competition were really to my liking. The direct shot looked like a visual miracle... It seems that this week's singing competition will not use this makeup, which is a pity."

“Everything looks good when it comes to Oppa!”

EXO ended its stage after the fans' enthusiastic support. Recently, there have been no big seniors returning. Their stage is usually arranged at the end, and immediately after the performance, they will enter the award ceremony for the last person.

"Wow, Baek Yayan versus EXO, who is the winner of today's "M! countdown" trophy? Now let's see the final result!"

Jin Qifan took the microphone and quickly announced the final score statistics:

"The music source sales results... the record sales results... the most popular scores... and the final results after calculating the live text voting scores, the one who is honored today is..."

"Baek Yayan's "SO SO" 5300 VS EXO's "monster" 9988."

"Congratulations XO!"

…

"One of the candidates for "Music Bank" today is Twice and EXO. Let's take a look at the trophy."

“Music source sales score: 3583 VS 2878.”

"Audience favorability..."

"Release points..."

“Album Sales Score 45 VS 9987.”

"The final result is..."

"Twice "cheer up" 5005 VS EXO "monster" 13185."

“EXO won today’s winner, Rough Camida!”

…

"In the third week of June, on "Inkigayo", those competing for today's trophy are EXO's "Miss You" and EXO's "Monster."

"..."

"The winner of the first place is "monster", congratulations XO!"

The ribbons floated down from the sky, watching Kim Jun-myeon receive a trophy, and Ji Kyung-won smiling and applauding gently on the stage of "Inkigayo". This week, they were like Mount Tai, winning all the trophies they participated in without any suspense.

I won the first place in the singing program, but the scores for each award were extremely disparate, and I didn’t feel any challenge or competition.

Colleagues in the industry seem to have a tacit understanding. There has been no major return artist in the past two weeks. Those competing with them are even Bai Yayan and Twice, who have released songs very early.

The two JYP artists, Baek Yayan and Twice, seemed to have noticed that the limelight was not right, and the enemy was too powerful to compete with them. They very wisely ended their singing schedule last week. This week, the two groups did not come to sing at all.

Chi Jingyuan and the others who were candidates for the two song competitions this week did not show up at all, but today's "Inkigayo" even featured EXO playing its own two title songs, without even an opponent.

After winning three first-place trophies in a row, Chi Jingyuan felt a little bored for no reason.

Thinking about it this way, the thrilling victory scene in "Fire" seems to be more interesting...

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the member next to him calling him. Chi Kyung-won came to his senses and quickly took the microphone. After hearing the reminder from Do Kyung-soo next to him, he switched to Chinese and said thank you to the fans: "

Thank you very much to our fans in the Mainland for supporting us..."

And seeing EXO unsurprisingly sweeping the three major channels for a week, fans online were naturally extremely excited:

"Congratulations to XO for winning three first prizes in the first week of singing and taking all the trophies on all three major channels!"

"Look at this comparison of scores. They are all double kills. They are not on the same level at all. This is the top group."

"The comparison between the sales scores of Music Bank and Twice the day before yesterday made me laugh to death. 45 vs. 9987. This should be the most disparate sales score, right?"

"Twice's album sales are very high, but it has been almost two months since the song was released. It is normal that the album cannot be sold now... But EXO's sales are really terrible. Fans have been raising funds every week since the song was released.

I placed a big order this week. It seems that I am a fan of Chi Jingyuan. I placed an order of more than 400,000 yuan at once... Comparing with them, I feel that it was obviously very good in the past. Only the front line can sell hundreds of thousands.

It seems like the sales volume of 200,000 has turned into a very poor performance.”

"Why do I feel like I don't have any strong opponents? Why is it that after so long, one of the candidates is still an artist like Twice who released a song more than a month ago? Why don't I feel that no one is returning recently? After watching it for a long time, there is only one from next week.

SISTAR is still an old girl group that has gone out of fashion. Isn’t summer always the season for comebacks? I remember this time last year, many popular groups came back. There were girl group battles and the like. The music industry was so lively. Why did it become like this this year?

Is it gone? Is Kpop no longer good?"

"Then you have to ask why EXO chose June 9th to come back..."

"Our group is really guilty of heinous crimes!"

…

After finishing the last singing session of the week, Chi Jingyuan had a meal with the group and then returned directly to the company building. After taking a breath and resting, he started a new job.

The reason why this comeback is so busy that I can't even participate in a large-scale variety show. Even the members of EXO and even Chi Kyung-won have no time to meet and get intimate with their father recently. It's because there are many things that are packed in during this period.

Together.

In addition to EXO's busy schedule for the third album comeback, each member also has a lot of personal schedules. Ji Kyung Won, Baek Hyun, Kyung Soo, and Chanyeol are all involved in TV dramas and movies, and they have to spare a lot of time.

Practice seriously for the three concert tours that will be held next month. This is the top priority. The workload is very heavy and cannot be ignored.

In addition, there is also a reissue of the regular third album that is expected to be released in August.

Although fans are eagerly anticipating it, the company has still not announced it to the outside world. However, internally, it has already been confirmed that the third album will be reissued, and the songs have even been prepared a long time ago.

Reprinting is a classic leek-cutting act of picking the title song plus two included songs and putting them into the original album, changing the cover and then changing the style. You can sell it for the price of a regular album without any trouble or too many resources. Ballads

Among the major agencies in the industry, SM is the most accustomed to this trick.

However, EXO's only re-release of the regular album "XOXO" is of really high quality. The re-release of the title song "Roar" alone is worth the price. Almost all the songs in the entire album are very good.

They are all carefully crafted and excellent works, so it is not considered a complete act of cutting leeks.

With EXO's current popularity, this money will not be earned in vain...and it's not that they came up with it on their own initiative, but fans are calling for it every day and looking forward to it.

After many planning meetings, it has been determined that the reissue of EXO's third regular album will be released in mid-to-late August. This reissue is the same as before. The company also did not hesitate and put a lot of effort into it.

This reissue will definitely use the same double-hit format as the original version, one of which will be "LOTTO" composed by LDN Noise, a top production team that has happily cooperated with the company.

The other song was composed by PDOGG Kang Hyo Shin and Ji Kyung Won, with EXO members participating in the lyrics, and was finally named "Blood, Sweat, Tears"

In addition to the double hits, "She's Dreaming", "Can't Bring Me Down" written by Kim Jong Dae, and the LDN Noise rearranged and remixed version of "monster" will also be added to the reissued album.

in.

Although the last three songs are actually a bit filling, the quality of the double hits is really high.

Ji Kyung-won likes both "LOTTO" and "Blood, Sweat and Tears". The song style and melody are of high quality, especially the latter, the choreography is very distinctive... Although Park Chanyeol, Kim Junmyeon and others

The words he wrote looked a little awkward.
