Chapter 2 Brilliant February

It confirmed the news that Kim Jong Kook was enlisted by more netizens. Korean fans who are used to listening to love and singing are very curious about this song that actually was written for the lyrical king Kim Jong Kook himself and narrating the friendship between friends. Perhaps this song "Friend" is not the most perfect, but it can resonate between men. A person will have close friends in his life. He or they appear by your side when you need it most and accompany you through those years (how is it written like a gay friend? ⊙﹏⊙b), and men are always more experiencing and expressing than women, and therefore resonating with each other more.

The consequence was that Kim Jong Kook's fancfub suddenly poured in a large group of male fans, asking for a single from "Friends" and said they would definitely buy it. In response to this unexpected surprise, Kim Jong Kook's economic company immediately responded and contacted Choi Junxiu. When the conditions were quite OK, Choi Junxiu had no further request and agreed directly.

"I originally wrote the song for my brother, of course I sang it." When Kim Jong Kook called to thank me in private, Choi Junxiu said, "I didn't blame me for exposing your news in advance, so I'm relieved." Choi Junxiu was unexpected that "Friends" could cause such a sensation, and it almost did a bad thing with kindness.

Everything can be described as the speed of light, from the appearance of "Friends", to the signing, and then to the recording, it is so fast that it is unreasonable. The MV also adopts some daily life clips of Kim Jong Kook, which is to try to release this single as quickly as possible. The protagonist is Kim Jong Kook himself and his friends, among which Kim Jong Kook's best friend, the Dragon Brothers (Jang Hyuk, Cha Tae Hyun, Hong Kyung Min), joined in a friendly manner, and friends from the entertainment industry such as Yoo Jae-suk, HAHA, Kang Ho-dong also made guest appearances.

Some unplayed shots of Choi Junxi's episode of the 10,000 yuan happiness were also displayed in the MV, including the shots that were pressed by Kim Jong-kook on the sofa with a cross skill. In just 4 minutes of MV, there were stars, and each frame was a star. In the MV, where everyone appeared completely as a friend, combined with the warm melody and fitting lyrics of "Friends". Although there were no gorgeous special effects, it made the professional musicians in the circle highly praised.

"In the world of music that is increasingly paying attention to packaging, Kim Jong Kook's single has a style that returns to simplicity, announcing the essence of music, music is first used to listen to."

In just two weeks, the single "Friends" sold 100,000 copies. This is when Kim Jong Kook just started playing songs. It can be expected that there is no problem with sales reaching 300,000. It can be said that Kim Jong Kook's economic company has picked up a huge advantage, and they don't need to make any efforts in advance publicity. The MV is also the biggest contribution of Kim Jong Kook's own connections. The subsequent series of songs lasted only 2 months but received a single with platinum sales. It is also extremely beneficial for Kim Jong Kook. After the "Triple Crown King", before joining the army, he can use a song "Friends" to consolidate his popularity, which plays a great role in his singing career. This is also the reason why Kim Jong Kook is willing to spend a lot of effort to use his connections.

With the aftermath of the "Triple Crown King", Kim Jong Kook swept all the song lists, popular songs, music centers, music banks, M!Countdown, which made the music industry that had just entered 2006 again blew a whirlwind of Kim Jong Kook. Unlike the diversification in 2005, this time he was completely active in the entertainment industry as a singer, and seemed to want to tell others that as the second Kim Jong Kook who reached the peak of a singer, he deserves it!!!

Regarding Kim Jong Kook's strength, singers who made the charts at the same time could only retreat. In February 2006, there was only one voice in the music industry, that is, a man, Kim Jong Kook! Many entertainment companies were also very stumbled at Kim Jong Kook's strength, but they thought that he would be enlisted soon. After saying goodbye to the stage for two years, how many people still remember Kim Jong Kook who crushed everything in front of them, so they could only swallow their anger and shifted the release date of their artists' new albums back, avoiding this limelight first.

On February 18, during the MBC Music Center broadcast, Kim Jong Kook once again collaborated with Choi Junxiu. The two of them sang the harmonious version of "Friends" with the same voices together, which once again amazed the Korean music industry. For such a magical scene, even the Chosun Ilbo gave a short report, saying that a magical imitation expert appeared in South Korea, imitating the voice of singer Kim Jong Kook to the point of perfection.

The Music Center gives Kim Jong Kook time to play three songs. The first stage is the harmony version of "Friends" by Kim Jong Kook and Choi Jun-seok, while the second stage is the joint stage of Kim Jong Kook, HAHA and Choi Jun-seok. The three of them jointly perform the famous "Turbo" song "Recall" (ps1)

"We two often come to the beach

The cool wind and white waves

Everything is as before

But you are whispering by my side

There is no one by the sea in winter

That brilliant face

Never find it again now

Looks extremely sad

We're on this beach

Saying the oath of being friends together

When you hide behind me

I heard your soft prayer

We will always be by my side at any time

Ask me when the waves pass by

Why am I the only one here

Where have you been

Can't see her, she hides behind me and shelters from the wind

When the warm sunshine shines, she will wake up and wait

I'll never see you again

I really can't say it

But I found tears that I had shed unconsciously

…”

Choi Junxiu lead singer, HAHA sings RAP, Kim Jong Kook sings bass, beautiful and moving, with a faint sadness, as if he was talking, please remember the true feelings he had given. The perfect cooperation of the three made the fans who supported Kim Jong Kook red their eyes and shouted, "turbo, turbo, turbo,...", "Brother Jong Kook, we will wait until your return, you will not be lonely, we will always be with you!!!" In the end, the audience will be a voice, "Kim Jong Kook, Kim Jong Kook, Kim Jong Kook..."

The third stage is "A Man", which announced the official rise of Kim Jong Kook. It can be said that "A Man" made Kim Jong Kook a special title. In South Korea, a man became Kim Jong Kook's special title. When Kim Jong Kook talks about Kim Jong Kook, he will think of the melody of "A Man". So when the melody sounds, the whole audience sounds, which completely loses the effect of the sound on the scene. Kim Jong Kook relies entirely on his strong live singing skills and sings with his feelings without any mistakes. This surprised other singers and also taught the younger generation a lesson. As a singer, what is the most basic thing?

The stage of the collaboration between Kim Jong Kook, HAHA and Choi Junxiu is also praised. One deity and two imitators burst out with powerful energy. Yoo Jae-suk joked in a show that HAHA and Choi Junxiu formed Kim Jong Kook & 2nd generation, and Kim Jong Kook had nothing to do. He wanted to see HAHA dancing, listen to and sing, and could also go to two places, which triggered a new round of topics. He actually became the nicknames of HAHA and Choi Junxiu. Now that Choi Junxiu was on the street, the first reaction of the citizens who could recognize him was, "Kim Jong Kook", which he thought about was funny.

But Choi Junxiu still promotes Kim Jong-kook on the show whenever he has the opportunity. For example, several episodes of "Come and Play". When he gets the opportunity, he sang songs such as "A Man", "Stand in Place", "Lovely", "Friends" and other songs in Kim Jong-kook's voice. As a result, Park Myung-soo scolds him, "Oh, boy, you have taken away so much benefits from Kim Jong-kook. I will give it to you too, and you will also help me promote it?" It has become one of the fixed laugh points of various variety shows in recent times.

HAHA and Choi Junxiu became the top ten most loyal stars in the entertainment industry in the public vote, and "It's great to have such friends" tied for first place. Kim Jong Kook also took two people to perform several times, allowing the three people's shared stage to appear in front of fans again and again. Several years later, the friendship between the three people became the real legend in the entertainment industry.

February 2006 was called "Kim Jong Kook-wook". It seemed that Kim Jong Kook had all his strength. For his last stage career, he burst out with the most brilliant brilliance. He spent a month announcing the arrival of the king and swept across South Korea. He was not much better than Lee Hyo-ri in 2003. He was in a good time, place and people, so that Kim Jong Kook reached the greatest peak of his life. People later talked about it.

...

On March 30, 2006, singers Kim Jong Kook and Cho Sung-mo, born in 1977, officially joined the army today and began their 26-month military service career.

In front of the military service station, in addition to the many entertainment media, there were more fans of Kim Jong Kook and Cho Sung-mo. The crowd of more than a thousand people, neat clothes and unified support items made Kim Jong Kook’s eyes moist. Saying goodbye to the fans, Choi Jun-seok sent them to the entrance of the military service station and hugged Kim Jong Kook tightly, "Brother Jong Kook, two years have passed quickly, we will wait for Brother Jong Kook to return, Fighting!!!"

"Junseok, thank you, really." Kim Jong Kook patted Choi Junseok's back and said sincerely.

With the support from thousands of fans, Kim Jong Kook and Cho Sung-mo disappeared at the gate of the military station, and the departure of the two lyrical singers seemed to announce the beginning of the last lyrical style in the Korean musical world. A new round of Korean wave is about to blow. This time, who is leading this trend?
