Chapter 1176 The first crown
For about an hour, while still busy visiting seniors outside, the singers who were also receiving news from Kim Yu-fan came to "Popular Songs". Without saying a word, the singers rushed to visit Kim Yu-fan, the senior.
There is no way, Kim Yu-fan's status and seniority are here, let alone Kim Yu-fan is also the president of McC.
That is the president of mc company, and even now the entire Korean entertainment industry, mc is an absolute overlord. Who dares to neglect such qualifications and such an identity there?
Not to mention that Kim Yu-hwan is still a person with horror creative talent. Look at the Girls Generation, which was almost disbanded at the time, wasn’t it just that Kim Yu-hwan took out a song "Ge" and made Girls Generation completely turn over and become very popular. Now, the dream of momentum is basically on par with kara under McC.
Don’t ask for anything else, at least you have a good relationship with Kim Yu-hwan. Even if you don’t have the qualifications, don’t let Kim Yu-hwan look down on you. I may not be sure where you need to ask Kim Yu-hwan in the future.
In this case, if you don’t know, it’s okay, but when you know, others have visited, but you haven’t visited. Isn’t this asking Kim Yu-fan to remember you?
Therefore, there were endless juniors who came to the waiting room to visit Kim Yu-fan. When facing any juniors, Kim Yu-fan was greeted with a smile, chatted a few simple words, and encouraged them.
I have to say that although Kim Yu-fan is not very old, he debuted early and is now a well-deserved senior in the music industry. Especially since Kim Yu-fan returned after he retired from the army, it was basically difficult to meet a senior who was earlier than Kim Yu-fan's debut at that time.
From that moment on, Kim Yu-fan was already enjoying sitting in the waiting room, waiting for the younger generation to come and visit. Then, using the posture of this senior generation, he would like to encourage the younger generation.
At this time, the superjunior group who came to visit Kim Yu-fan was the superjunior group. If this return, although "Pinohio (danger)" achieved great results, its biggest competitor was undoubtedly the superjunior, who brought his fifth album after a year. Especially the return of the main song "ple", the momentum is indeed very large.
Although superjunior has been suppressed by his predecessor, it seems that the existence of superjunior has become the spare tire of the Eastern God. When the Eastern God has passed its peak period, superjunior can make up for the Eastern God's position as soon as possible.
But it is undeniable that superjunior has many people, which is indeed the advantage of superjunior itself, coupled with its own efforts. In particular, Litt and others have performed very well in variety shows, which also makes superjunior eventually become one of the top boy groups in South Korea under the "suppression" of the Oriental God.
Now, with the complete outbreak of "Sorrysorry" in 2009 and the complete decline of the Eastern God Qi, Superjunior has now become the well-deserved pillar of S?m.
At least it will take one year to debut next year. In just two years, superjunior will be the ace boy group of S?m and the pillar of S?m.
In fact, superjunior really has this qualification. It’s a pity that S?m is really cold-blooded. It just wants to maximize profits, and then arranges superjunior members to join the army. This also has opportunities and excuses to slowly reduce superjunior’s resources. Then give the resources to exo, which is why exo has reached the top in just two years of its debut and has become the top group in South Korea.
In addition to Exo's own efforts and the experience of S?m, it is because of its huge resources that have caused Exo to explode completely.
There is no way. I guess in the eyes of the senior management of S?m, the potential of superjunior is almost the same. After all, several members of superjunior are even older than the Oriental God, and now they are almost over. Since that's the case, of course, we have to hand over more resources to the newcomer group of exo.
In fact, the number of exo people is the most naked evidence, proving that s?m intends to replace superjunior with exo. Perhaps, s?m has gained a lot of experience from the large number of superjuniors, so that he can form an exo combination with basically the same number of people.
But no matter what, at least Exo has not debuted yet, even if it debuts in the first year, it will not pose too much threat to superjunior. Therefore, the current superjunior or the pillar combination of S?m Company is not to worry about its status within at least two years.
With the disintegration and decline of Dongfang Shenqi, and the fact that Exo has not yet debuted, S?m has also put more resources on the two combinations of Superjunior and Girls' Generation, which has also caused Superjunior and Girls' Generation to rise wildly. Although Superjunior is not as exaggerated as Girls' Generation, its popularity and influence are really much stronger than in 2008.
If superjunior began to explode completely with "sorrysorry" in 2009, then superjunior in 2011 was definitely the peak of superjunior, and this year was also the year when superjunior gained the most.
"Oh, brother, are you going to join the army soon?" Kim Yu-fan heard the news that Kim Hee-chul was about to join the army and asked curiously.
"Haha, of course, the time has been set, it's September 1st. This is normal. After all, I am a national of the Republic of Korea. I should do my duty to join the army." Kim Heechul shrugged and said with a smile: "Besides, all the strong men joined the army last year. Now our superjunior members are not young anymore. It is time to start taking turns to join the army one by one, so that we can fully enlist in the army, and at the same time we can maintain our superjunior activities."
Kim Heechul said it very easily, but Kim Yu-fan still saw a little concern in Kim Heechul's eyes. If you think about it carefully, it is true that Korean military service is probably a huge hurdle for any Korean man, but it is a path that has to be taken unless you can meet the requirements of several amnesty. Otherwise, enlisting in the army is a must.
Basically, joining the army is half a parting of life and death, breaking up between lovers, career stops, and even problems occur. Artists are even more affected by popularity. Even years of hard work have been in vain. In the end, they have to start over again...
In short, joining the army is a hurdle for any man in South Korea, but he will only face it with a nervous and worried attitude. Therefore, Kim Heechul's worry in his eyes is normal. After all, there are probably few people in South Korea who can truly serve easily. He is not worried about what will happen in the past two years, what will happen, and he is not worried about what will happen after he is discharged from the army.
In fact, it is not only Kim Heechul who is worried about it. The other members of the superjunior are also worried. After all, this time, Kim Heechul enlisted in the army. Similarly, other people cannot escape the fate of enlisting.
In this regard, Kim Yu-hwan didn't know what to say, and didn't know what to say. After all, joining the army is one of South Korea's major obligations. Kim Yu-hwan is not qualified to say anything, unless the north is willing to be peaceful or even proactively surrender unconditionally and is recruited by South Korea, but that is impossible. Uperjunior plans to join the army one member a year, so that it can maintain the maximum number of enlistment of only two members, and continue to maintain the integrity of superjunior and continue to operate.
However, the facts prove that the idea is good, but the reality is often cruel. The idea of superjunior is good, and it has also been done according to this method, and the effect is OK. But it can't stand the peak period of superjunior has passed and has completely declined, so more resources are placed on the younger generation exo, causing the exo to rise wildly.
With the crazy rise of Exo, Superjunior also found that something was wrong, so he gritted his teeth and insisted that no member of the army was enlisted in 2014 and planned to compete with Exo again.
Unfortunately, in the face of S?m's favoritism, the members of the superjunior were completely sad in the end. Even the plan of joining the army for one member a year was abandoned by the superjunior at this moment. Since the company does not value itself, it would be better to just join the army. This is also a waste of trouble and facilitates the company's urgent need to invest in Exo.
So in 2015, the five members of the superjunior who had not yet joined the army, Shentong, Donghai, Yin Hyuk, Lee Sungmin and Choi Siwon, all joined the army together this year.
From this moment on, superjunior completely handed over the throne and honor of the first boy group of S?m to the junior exo.
But that will happen two years later. At least the current superjunior is definitely the well-deserved top boy group in South Korea. Even because of the disintegration and decline of the Oriental God Qi, the top boy group in South Korea now has only superjunior and Gbang. As for 2pm, it is still a bit worse in all aspects.
"Haha, it's only two years, not as long as everyone imagined. It's gritted its teeth and passed in a blink of an eye. Besides, you are still superjunior, a large team of so many people, even if you join the army, there are other members who continue to maintain the development of superjunior, maintain the appearance rate and publicity of superjunior, and also popularity. In this way, after retiring from the army, you can continue to develop well. At least in this regard, your team team really has a too advantage. Compared to our solo singers, you are really lucky."
Kim Yu-fan doesn't plan to tell superjunior that you can jump around for two or three years and ride on the last two or three years, otherwise you won't be able to jump around in the future.
Let’s not talk about whether superjunior believes it or not. Then things will be effective. What will the superjunior members react? The prophet is Kim Yu-hwan’s biggest advantage. Kim Yu-hwan can get to where he is today and have everything he has today. It can basically be said that it was brought by the prophet. Kim Yu-hwan doesn’t want to find something to do if he has nothing to do. What if someone is sliced?
So Kim Yu-fan also sighed as he followed the intentions of the superjunior members and pretended to look envious.
"Where are, senior, you are too polite. This is the best team combination. Solo singers are also good at solo singers. At least solo singers can get all the money, rather than everyone is divided like our team combination." Litt said with a smile.
Although I am very glad that my group has a large number of people, even if other members continue to maintain the operation of the group, they can return faster after they are discharged from the army. But on the surface, the necessary modesty is still the case. Do you still admit that you don’t know that Kim Yu-hwan is a solo singer?
A few minutes later, the superjunior members left the waiting room, while Kim Yu-fan watched the superjunior members leave, and couldn't help but sigh.
Although superjunior has reached its peak now, even forced gbang to be suppressed by superjunior this year. He has truly become the No. 1 boy group in South Korea and can even be regarded as the first Korean group.
But who knows that behind this peak and glory is the decline and decline. Who can imagine that the superjunior at its peak has begun to decline in less than three years, and has even been completely replaced by its younger generations.
Here, Kim Yu-fan couldn't help but complain about the five-year artist development plan of S?m. Basically, the artists of S?m. From the day of their debut, they basically counted as five-year plans. They spent a year laying the foundation, then a year of rising, and then three years of peak period, which totaled five years.
Five years later, after the peak, it will definitely be worse than before. At this time, we must train a new group to take over the class of the seniors. Unfortunately, those senior groups who have been glorious and honored have gradually declined in the end, and no one cares about it anymore.
The appearance of Dongfang Shenqi was a bit hasty, but it was also to make up for the disbanded Hot and the left mythical combination. At that time, with S?m's full support, the rising speed of Dongfang Shenqi was really terrifying.
Five years later, in 2009, although Dongfang Shenqi was still at its peak, and its potential was still there, and there was no decline. However, because of the departure of the three jyjs, Dongfang Shenqi was completely destroyed. Although this surprised and angry, s?m had a five-year plan and didn't care at all, so he simply supported superjunior. The same was true for the same. He debuted in November 2005, and in 2010, in 2011, he began to rise completely and reached his own peak. But behind the peak, he soon declined, so s?m company cultivated exo to replace superjunior's status.
In fact, Girls' Generation is similar, but the situation of Girls' Generation is very special. The Black Sea incident and the Girls' Generation combination are indeed perfect. All aspects can make up for each other's shortcomings, making Girls' Generation a perfect combination.
Therefore, Girls' Generation debuted in 2007 and reached its peak in less than five years, that is, in 2010. This peak time lasted for a long time. Even though it experienced the huge blow and impact of Jes' private A withdrawal, Girls' Generation still maintained its position as the No. 1 girl group in Korea. If the younger generation of other girl group wants to surpass it, just consider it as the situation. It seems that it is still impossible to surpass Girls' Generation in a short period of time.
But Girls' Generation is a special situation. In general, s?m company insists on a five-year plan. Unless it is a special situation like Girls' Generation, s?m's artists will inevitably escape the five-year plan.
The five-year plan ensured the competitiveness of S?m, but it was achieved through the forgotten old combinations. I have to say that S?m is indeed cold-blooded and ruthless in this regard. After Uperjunior left, 2pm and 2ne1 also visited each other not long after. Kim Yu-fan also said hello to everyone for a while and then sent away the two combinations.
It was only then that I ended my trip to visit my senior and returned to the waiting room. It was not long before "Popular Songs" officially began.
As time goes by, "Popular Ballads" is officially staged, and artists from all walks of life have shown their abilities, guiding the screams and cheers of fans on the scene as much as possible, showing themselves to the greatest extent.
After more than an hour passed, this episode of "Popular Ballads" also came to an end. With the announcement of hosts Zhao Quan, Shirley, IU and Li Qiguang, they finally defeated their biggest opponent, Superjunior, and won the weekly championship of "Popular Ballads" in this episode, and it was also the first weekly championship on the TV song program since its debut.
Chapter completed!
