Chapter 973: On the way to work
Less than ten hours after the release of "Love Senario", when the word gradually spread in Seoul and the Peninsula, the famous commuting road in front of the KBS "Music Bank" building was already crowded with people.
Although there are always many fans coming to watch and wait on this road every time the recording day comes, it has also become a check-in destination for passers-by and overseas fans, and it is always very lively.
However, the security guards who are experienced and used to the fanatical appearance of fans chasing stars can no longer sit in the office calmly as usual. At this time, a group of security guards in uniform are standing diligently around the railings on both sides of the road to maintain order. They are sweating and looking around, fearing that the already full and tense crowd will break through the fence in the next second and cause something bad.
From time to time, they would look at each other helplessly with their colleagues a few meters away, and at a glance, they could understand each other's thoughts:
...Why are there so many people? The number of people who came today is several times more than usual. Ah, the guy standing over there looks like he's about to cry.
Shit, what's the big deal about these fans? Don't they have to go to work or school?
Next to the security guards who were on high alert, there were beauties of all sizes and passers-by who were just there to join in the fun, all carrying their own cameras and long guns, blocking the hundred-meter-long path completely.
Even if everyone tried to keep their voices low, the voices of so many people combined together still created a sense of bustling noise. And after a while, when the new idol got out of the car and walked over, everyone's eyes would shift over there at the same time, and at the same time there would be a burst of restless sounds, and the movements of countless people seemed like thunder.
Some fourth- and fifth-tier idols who don't have much experience and who don't easily get a chance to promote their songs felt a mountain of pressure when they saw this scene. They had never seen such a scene in their limited promotional opportunities.
Some people were a little stage fright, but more people realized that this was a very good opportunity to show themselves. They quickly tidied their appearance, showed their most beautiful smiles, and kept making heart gestures to the fans next to them, wanting to interact with them, whether it was to attract a wave of fans or to be photographed and posted online to increase exposure. It was not easy to have so many people around, and if they didn't show themselves off, they would not be qualified idols.
What a pity... these fans who had looked over as soon as they heard the noise and seemed to be eagerly waiting for something did not react at all after seeing their idols. There was disappointment and boredom in their eyes. After taking a few casual glances, they looked away and looked towards the direction of the parking lot again.
Even though they just passed by quickly, the treatment of SM company's new star boy group NCT Dream was no different.
The smile instantly became stiff. The idol who was ignored smiled on the surface while taking photos, but in his heart he couldn't help but curse inwardly because of the gap of attention.
What a low-quality fan...
The indifference and indifference of these onlookers made them feel as if they were not idols who were being sought after, but just ordinary passers-by who came to work.
I stood there for a short while, not knowing if anyone took pictures, and then I quickly left and walked into the building.
"Is Yuan coming or not? It's already so late... Could it be that he saw too many people and has already entered through the employee passage?"
After watching another unknown 18th-tier band walking on their way to work, a twenty-something girl with a ponytail sitting next to the railing at the back half of the road couldn't help but mutter to herself in disappointment.
"Yuan will definitely come. He is one of the idols who loves his fans the most. He knows that there will be a lot of fans who want to see him on the first day of the first stage. Even if there are a lot of people, he will definitely come."
As if she had heard what the ponytail girl said, a slightly plump girl with short hair next to her immediately spoke up to defend herself. She said a few words to Chi Jingyuan confidently, then blinked her eyes, sized him up, and asked knowingly, "Are you a new fan?"
As an old fan, how could I doubt Yuan?
I don't know if it's because he never disappoints people and because they are his fans that make them invincible in the fan circle and superior to others?
"Will you definitely come?"
Although the other party said it with certainty, Ma Wei still murmured half-believingly. After hearing the other party's question, he did not hide it and nodded: "I guess so."
"You got into it after the new song was released yesterday?"
"How do you know?" Ponytail asked curiously.
"Hey, the reputation of Yuan's solo album has spread, especially the title track 'Once Loved'. It's been less than ten hours and the reputation and influence seem to have exploded. Yesterday at midnight, I don't know how many new people applied to join our fan group. They were all new fans who became fans because of the new album. Do you know how many new people there are in our group so far? Almost three hundred."
"I see... Me too. I saw it was so popular online yesterday so I listened to it. It's really good. I haven't heard a similar song in Kpop for a long time."
"You think so too, don't you? I played this song on repeat all night yesterday, and I was still listening to it this morning. I'm not exaggerating. I've listened to almost all the songs of Kpop boy bands in recent years. This song "Loved" is really the top one. When the audio source leaked yesterday, our entire group went crazy. I thought the quality would be good, but I didn't expect it to be so good. It was written by Yuan himself..."
The short-haired girl spoke half enthusiastically and half rationally, with a look of surprise and pride on her face: "And this song, and the style of this album are also very good, this kind of fresh and sunny boyfriend style is rarely seen in XO groups nowadays, Yuan's style this time is so amazing, many Yuan fans like it very much."
"Yes, yes, this style is really cool, this is what my dream boyfriend looks like."
As if something was touched, the ponytail girl nodded continuously, with an excited look on her face: "I also like "Music Box" very much. The MV is shot in the same style as "Loved"... Actually, if I just listened to the song, I wouldn't become a fan so quickly, but the styling and style of the MV really touched me... So after watching the MV yesterday, I immediately placed an order to buy two albums."
"Buy more. The configuration this time is very good, the album cover is also beautiful, and there are only CDs... This is the most conscientious album configuration. It would be best to buy one of all four covers for collection..."
Short Hair then started to recommend it: "Many people in our group bought several copies of each cover. The biggest fans bought 100 copies of each cover hoping to win the lottery. I heard that the spots for this signing are very valuable... I bought five copies of each cover hoping to try my luck."
"A book signing?"
The ponytail girl was a little tempted to hear about the autograph session, but she was still a new fan and was a little hesitant. Dozens of albums were not a small amount of money for her, so she didn't respond: "Let me think about it, let's go see the stage later... I don't know what the stage is like?"
"It is said that he is particularly handsome on stage..."
The short-haired girl was just promoting it out of habit and didn't force it. When she heard the new fan's skeptical tone, she quickly leaned over and boasted, "Someone in our group won the chance to pre-record at SM COEX the day before yesterday. Although she couldn't reveal it after she came back, she was still very excited and said that the stage effect was absolutely nice. The whole stage was so exciting that people couldn't blink."
As she spoke, her tone became mysterious: "That fan even said, 'Especially the beginning, it was so amazing, the whole audience started screaming in the first second.'"
"qingjia?" After hearing this, the ponytail girl's eyes lit up and her interest was immediately piqued.
"Of course, Yuan has always paid the most attention to the stage effect. Everyone has seen the exquisiteness of this album. It is impossible that the stage is not refined, right? I heard that he also participated in the choreography this time..."
"Too."
The two young girls, who had not yet asked each other's names, just because they fell in love with the same idol, quickly got together and started chatting enthusiastically like friends who had not seen each other for years. One of them talked about Chi Jingyuan eloquently, while the other listened with relish, and occasionally made a perfect comedic comment. They cooperated very well.
As she was talking, Ma Wei suddenly muttered in confusion: "I don't know if it's too late to be a fan now... I just feel like EXO has been revealing their love life recently, and after checking the news and information, I've been a little worried."
"Oh, don't worry. When Kai was exposed, some big fans had revealed that Yuan's status in SM is very high, and he won't be exposed casually like ordinary members..."
"And even if it's exposed, I don't think it's a big deal. He's been in the industry for so many years, and Yuan isn't an idol who sells his boyfriend persona and relies on his looks to make a living. He's an actor, a TOP, and a producer now. I don't think it's a big deal to date him. Even if they're anti-intellectual low-collar girlfriend fans, I'm actually quite annoyed by them. I feel like the reputation of Aili and Yuan fans on the Internet and in the circle has been ruined by them."
"Hmm...too."
"But I can accept exposure, but I can't accept ugly girls... With Yuan's current level, it would be best if she were a top actor or something, and if she's an idol, my bottom line is at least at the level of Yoona and Suzy..."
Just as the short-haired girl was chattering about her own insights, suddenly a huge noise was heard from a distance, which quickly gathered into a thunder-like commotion and quickly spread towards this side.
The dense crowds of people on both sides of the road couldn't help but look towards the source of the noise, and screams, cheers, and shouts suddenly arose.
"I'm coming"
"Oppa is here."
"Ahhhhhhh~"
