tainment shifted Girls' Generation's focus to Japan. Sunny's participation in "Youth Never Ends 2" will be coming to an end soon.However, Xiaoyuan will continue to persevere. He truly remains committe...One of the highlights of the song "Spring Day" is its intro melody and atmosphere. Even when the sound source was first released and received mixed reviews, many people liked it. Even some fans or passersby who didn't like the rest of the song gave the intro a thumbs up.
The electronically synthesized music from before vanishes, replaced by a unique flavor created by the band playing with a limited range of instruments.
There was a bit less fireworks, but a touch more coolness.
This prelude immediately perked up Yoon Seok-gyu, who had been somewhat casual a moment ago. He put his legs down, changed to a more comfortable sitting position, leaned forward slightly, and intently watched the television screen, listening carefully.
This song is pretty good, it's totally different from their previous song "Roar," this EXO style is pretty diverse.
'The live stage had no major mistakes, and the sound quality was also pretty good. I didn't expect a male group to be so emotional when singing ballads.'
‘There are still several lead singers with pretty strong vocal skills, especially this one… Ji Jingyuan…’
The music flowed with a natural sense of grandeur, its melody surging yet delicate, the vocals clear and graceful. Harmonies intertwined seamlessly, soft and gentle, emanating from the speakers and gently weaving through Yoon Shi-gyu's living room until they coalesced into a warm symphony that filled every corner.
At half past twelve in the morning, it was already deep into the night. Everything around was eerily quiet with no stray noises to be heard. In the living room, where the television had been switched off, only the melodious music could be heard rising and falling. The contrast between the stillness and the cheerful tunes under the cold midnight sky made this moment particularly atmospheric.
All was still, save for the blooming of spring.
He silently listened to the last part of EXO's performance, several vocalists' signature harmonies. Watching Park Ji-yeong on the screen, covering his earpiece, bowing his head and closing his eyes, completely immersed in the music, Yoon Seol-gye felt a sudden clarity as if the melody and the mood of "Spring Day" had illuminated him. At the same time, he felt a newfound interest in this male group that had long been famous before.
Even if he doesn't know much about boy groups and even has a bit of prejudice against them beforehand, Yoon Seok-kyu still admits that the live performance this time was very good. He likes this stage.
He also changed his opinion of these members who were singing seriously, even though they didn't look like very skilled performers.
'This boy group... is pretty good, very talented.'
This song is also good...
Watching EXO's nine members take their bows, Yin Shigui nodded secretly in his heart and couldn't help but praise them.
He suddenly lost interest in the next guest, Pak Je-young, glanced at him twice before looking away. He crossed his legs, took out his phone and started searching for EXO. After skimming through the information, he specifically added "Spring Day" to his playlist.
I was going to recommend this to my friend, but seeing that it's so late I guess I'll just have to give up.
Let's talk about it tomorrow.
…………
Although "Yoo Hee-yeol's Sketchbook" has maintained a decent average viewership, the recent episodes have lacked compelling moments and high-quality stages, resulting in declining ratings. The previous episode, aired on April 3rd, had a viewership of only 0.7%, falling below the program's average.
And this week's ratings, which were tallied on the morning of the 12th, saw a significant jump, soaring to 2.2%, more than triple the previous week's viewership.
Such a massive increase even surprised the program team in their excitement. While it's not entirely due to EXO's efforts, as this episode also featured other guests like Park Jin-young whose popularity is quite high and whose music is enjoyed by many.
But it is undoubtedly XO that plays an undeniable role in this.
This episode of after its broadcast, the next day at noon, with exo《柳熙烈》# keyword on the hot search list, immediately attracted a lot of people who had not seen the live program interested in clicking to check it out. After watching it, they went to YouTube to watch this episode's video. After seeing exo's high-quality live performance in this episode, they couldn't help but recommend it to friends. In this way, a virtuous circle was formed.
As the heat gradually spreads, at 11 am today, EXO's "Spring" finally surpassed "onlyyou," which had been on top of the charts for about ten days. This marks the first time since its release that "Spring" has topped Melon's daily chart, and it's also steadily climbing the weekly chart, chasing after "issa." At this rate, it should overtake "issa" in one or two days.
After ten days of release, the song saw a surprising surge in popularity. The heat and listenership numbers even surpassed those from the initial few days after its release, leaving many listeners, including industry insiders, dumbfounded.
Of course, this situation can't be entirely attributed to the program "Yoo Hee-yeol's Sketchbook." The main reason is that the songs are catchy and high quality. As more people listen and the word of mouth spreads and ferments, the number of listeners increases. This program mainly serves as a trigger and plays a role in promoting it.
It's a mutual achievement, I guess.
But today, if you look at the online comments for the song "Spring Day," you'll find that the song's reputation has undergone a significant shift and improvement without anyone noticing. The various comments like "ordinary," "unpleasant," "disappointing," and "I won't listen to it again after one listen" that once flooded the comment section have somehow disappeared. Even if you can still see them, there are noticeably fewer people who agree with them.
Here's the translation:>Now, the top-rated ones, a few passersby and audience members have relatively more objective opinions on them:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
"Spring Day" is a song that you want to listen to again and again.
"The song "Spring Day" is art, the lyrics are very touching, the overall melody is good to listen to, and it's also meaningful…"
Through this song, I discovered that boy groups aren't completely incapable of singing ballads...Other boy groups are unknown, at least EXO feels pretty good.
Not only did 《Chunjiang Huayu》's reputation reverse and top the daily chart, but it also significantly improved Exo's image in the minds of many casual listeners. It was a truly surprising event.
Before Li Xiu-man, Ji Jingyuan and s company chose this lyrical song as the title track for 《x》, there were some purposes and hopes. It's also considered to have achieved a little bit.
Although it's not perfect, at least we got off to a good start.
Also on the 12th, JYP's CEO Park Jin-young returned to the music scene after a year and seven months, bringing his digital album "24/34" and first performed his new song on stage at the fourth season of "K-Pop Star," a talent show where he serves as a judge.
His return single "Who's Your Mom" although the lyrics are a bit edgy, with some suggestive content, isn't exactly a serious song. However, its popularity is undeniable. As soon as it was released, it immediately climbed to the top of major music charts, surpassing issa's "onlyyou" which had just been dethroned and taking second place, engaging in a battle for the top spot with EXO's "Spring Day".
But although it's called a contest, the two sides' current data is still quite different.
This resulted in an interesting situation. "Spring Day" reversed its downward trend and surpassed "onlyyou" to top the charts, while Park Jin-young's return to avenge his disciples ended at second place. The top three spots on the music chart were completely dominated by s and jyp, with all artists returning from both jyp groups being firmly suppressed by EXO in media coverage.
Given the current circumstances, this site may close at any time. Please move to the permanently operating one as soon as possible.
"Originally, it should have been a family feud with JYP artists taking the top two spots. However, the sudden explosion of popularity of "Spring Day" has stolen the spotlight. Judging by the heat and trajectory of "Spring Day," it's estimated that it will be very difficult to displace it from the number one spot anytime soon. This week's chart could even see it win the crown, pushing past both JYP artists. It's hard to imagine what expression JYP company would have right now."
"After Park Jin-young's return to JYP Entertainment two weeks ago, he released a song that pushed his own artist's songs off the charts. Doesn't this count as blocking his own artist's path As president, isn't that inappropriate"
"Exo is really amazing this time, a boy group able to overshadow I-Ssa and Park Jin-young is unbelievable."
"kkk laughed, jyp is really the company's decline too serious, the president personally took the field, both groups of artists can not beat s at random a male group, the low stock price is really for a reason."
“………”
"The sound source results for "Spring Day" are getting better and better... Alas, the seniors of I.S.S.A have been surpassed, and pdni's new song only reached second place."
Yu Dingyan looked at the charts and comments on her phone, surprised and somewhat disappointed, she said to Lin Naien who was sitting beside her.
At this time, the two groups of are preparing to head to the photographer's studio to film the second episode of the show. The nine members of their 'underclassman group' are currently crammed into a nanny car, resting when they rest, chatting when they chat.
After hearing her words, several people sitting beside her couldn't help but cast their gazes over.
"...both groups couldn't beat any random male idol group..."
“I read aloud a news article from my phone with a deliberate, exaggerated tone. After finishing, I blinked and put on a worried expression, saying: "Hearing it this way, I really feel like our company might be finished.”
"Hahaha, if the head of the department hears you, you're dead."
Yu Dingyan couldn't help but burst into laughter. A chorus of laughter also echoed from the side.
It's clear she was joking, after all, coming in second and third place for the sound source rankings is actually pretty good.
But although JYP's current situation isn't good, they all know it deep down. However, this kind of thing doesn't really concern them as trainees. It's not their place to worry about it.
After a few minutes' drive, we arrived at the recording location. It was Zhao Shanxi's studio in the JB district.
Under the leadership of the room manager, a dozen girls walked into this multi-story, large photography studio. After entering, they respectfully greeted the photographer Zhao Shanxi and the staff who had already set up the shooting equipment on site. Then, under Zhao Shanxi's guidance, they briefly toured the photography studio.
"Wow, seniors from whirls and 2p, you guys did an amazing job!"
Before they had taken two steps, they were drawn to the attention by the posters of idol artists hanging in the glass frames on either side of the corridor. They hurried over and started chattering excitedly, pointing at the posters and discussing them.
"Also, it seems that senior members of Issa's team and pdni, as well as senior members from the company, have all filmed here."
And looking at them, they're all from this recent return pictorial. So they all took these here, huh
"That was taken last month..." Zhao Shanxi nodded, giving a simple reply. Then she tilted her head and looked at the picture of Park Jin-young in front of her, lightly frowning. "This one seems to have some lighting issues now…"
Zhao Shanxi is about thirty years old. She has black-rimmed glasses and shoulder-length, straw-like blonde hair that's very artistic. She is a well-known photographer in the industry, particularly skilled at shooting album covers and magazine layouts. She has a long-term collaboration with JYP company, and most of the album covers for JYP artists are shot by her, including the recently returned I.S.A and Park Jinyoung.
This time, the second episode of 《sixteen》 challenged the group of female trainees to shoot a pictorial. After some discussion, JYP decided to set up the shooting location directly in her studio, and she even personally took on the role of photographer.
"Oh my, there's also Yuan from EXO's pictorial"
At this moment, a voice of surprise came. Several girls gathered around some magazines not far ahead, staring in amazement. Under the glass frame before them was a portrait of Chi Jingyuan, smiling faintly with a calm expression in a backlight shot.
Hearing this familiar name, Zhou Tzuyu and Nana, who were originally following behind on the tour, both froze for a moment, quickened their pace, and hurried over to stand there curiously.
"Oh, that was last year when Yuan and Suzy collaborated on 'So,' they came here to shoot the music video through JYP's introduction."
Zhao Shanxi smiled after seeing it, walked over and swept his gaze across Chi Jingyuan's face, as if recalling the shooting scene at that time. When introducing him, he couldn't help but sigh: "Chi Jingyuan is very good at taking pictures. Many photos are very feelingful. It's also very comfortable to work together. Among so many cooperating artists, he left a deep impression on me."
"Like this one, I really like it. Although the appearance is superior, looking at it doesn't make it particularly stand out. It doesn't make people linger on the facial features, but rather focuses on creating a kind of atmosphere..."
She sensed that the trainees seemed very interested. She tilted her head and glanced at the magazine spread before them, offering a simple introduction in a few words, but she didn't talk much. After a brief pause, she led the way to visit other places. Not long after, the official shooting began.
Today's segment has two groups shooting different style group photos, the ajor group shoots first, followed by the different birth group.
" Tzuyu looks like a model."
After taking dozens of shots, the 'defaulter group' gathered around the monitor to check the results. Zhao Shanxi sat in a chair and watched for a while, then couldn't help turning her head to glance at Zhou Tzuyu standing behind her. Curiously, she asked, "Have you ever been a model"
At this moment, Zhou Tzuyu was wearing a red knitted baseball cap backward. Her brown hair was styled in a side ponytail on the right side of her head. The ponytail even had textured processing to add a touch of fashion. The lollipop that had previously served as a prop for the photoshoot was somehow unwrapped and she was happily sucking on it with puffed cheeks. She was suddenly caught off guard and quickly took the lollipop out of her mouth.
"Hehehe..."
As if she had sensed the compliment, Tzuyu parted her lips, revealing a row of pearly white teeth. Her eye smiles twitched, conveying both happiness and a hint of shyness. She giggled softly, shaking her head slightly: "Aniyo..."
"Haven't you ever done it"
Zhao Shanxi looked at her in surprise, then pointed to the photo on the display: "You've managed your expression very well, you look very natural when taking pictures, and you haven't stood out too much while highlighting your advantages."
"The expressions, the eyes, especially the posture all seem to emanate a great feeling from within. They've captured the essence, look at this one, and this one, many of the shots are very good, it feels like someone with a lot of shooting experience..."
After switching through several photos, Zhao Shanxi pointed at the display and couldn't help but glance back. He saw Zhou Tzuyu blushing shyly and happily with a smile upon hearing praise. He repeated to her, "You really never had photos taken before"
"There's nothing..."
"Getting an identical answer, Zhao Shanxi looked up and down at Zhou Tzuyu and nodded: “That’s really good.”
A pair of big eyes sparkled with joy, the unrestrained praise bringing a sweet smile to Zhou Tzuyu's face. A few seconds later, as if she had thought of something in her mind, the corner of her mouth curled up even higher.
And the other female trainees around were all a little surprised, continuously casting their eyes and gazes onto Zhou Ziyu's body. Some had smiles on their faces, seeming to be happy for her. Others, even with cameras operating nearby filming, couldn't hide the astonishment on their faces.
Even some people's expressions seemed a bit off, almost disgruntled.
Since starting to critique the photos, Zhao Shanxi has hardly said anything nice about anyone. When facing the comments on female trainees mentioned earlier, she either gave very ordinary remarks or directly and bluntly criticized them. Her professionalism is strong but she didn't show any empathy.
Unexpectedly, when it came to Tzuyu's turn, he seemed quite impressed. He kept saying things like "Have you been a model before" and "That's really good," clearly showing that Zhao Shanxi thought her pictorial was excellent.
Looking at it this way, she should be promoted to the major group this time and won't be eliminated, right
Ignores the various stares coming from around her, Zhou Tzuyu happily takes another bite of her lollipop.
Yay!
……
"I feel super great today! When I was checking the photos, my photography teacher kept praising me. Heehee, this time I shouldn't be eliminated, maybe even promoted to the major group! (laughing)"
After working hard all afternoon until evening, she finally finished filming. After returning to the company and just finishing her meal, Zhou Tzuyu found a spot and couldn't help but excitedly pull out her phone to send a message to Ji Jingyuan, sharing her excitement.
"Is that so good"
The reply is very quick, it's estimated that Chi Jingyuan might be free right now.
"Well, the things you taught me before were really helpful. The photography teacher praised me for all the things you mentioned before. Thank you." Thinking back to the recording she listened to many times over the past two days and the praise she received when testing her results today, Zhou Tzuyu's eyes curved up again.
She was so incredibly happy today, completely unlike her state last week when she was criticized mercilessly by Park Jin-young and the teacher, surrounded by strange looks from others, and on the brink of elimination. It’s impossible to compare the two situations and feelings.
I ate too much at dinner just now.
After a while, the other party sent back two consecutive messages:
"Alright, just a few words. If they were really that useful, I could be opening training classes and making money already."
"...it's mainly because you have a natural talent for this."
'I'm gifted…'
What talents are needed for painting
Figure, appearance, temperament, technique and experience.
Zhou Ziyu silently savored these words, understanding them after a blink. She held back for a few seconds but couldn't resist and burst into laughter. But then she seemed to remember something, her smile faded, pursed her lips, and her expression appeared somewhat regretful. Holding her phone in both hands, her fingers rapidly tapped on the screen:
“It's a shame that the department head said in the afternoon that the company was worried about the paintings being leaked early, so they didn't let us take pictures. Otherwise, I could show you. My look today was pretty good, even though some of the clothes I chose were changed. Some of them were still my own choices, it's a pity. (wink)”
"Well, that's a shame."
Although the reply was quick, the superficial words and seemingly uninterested tone made Zhou Tzuyu unhappy. She frowned after seeing it, hesitated for a few seconds, then thought about it before sending: “What are you doing”
This time, after waiting for about a minute, she started to get anxious. Just then, Chi Jingyuan replied. When she clicked on the message, there was a caption that said 'shooting v', and
At this moment, Chi Jingyuan was wearing a standard olive green football jersey. The number 5 on the jersey and his shoulders and chest, bulged up by the protective gear, were very noticeable. The jersey clearly had an aged treatment, with many dust and stains on its surface, as if it had just finished a fierce match.
In the photo, he was sitting in a place that looked like a team locker room, pursing his lips and looking at the camera with a hint of impatience. But looking at the bloodstain makeup on Ji Chyuan's left cheek, coupled with the sweat stains clearly visible on his forehead and bangs, and his well-worn jersey, Zhou Tzuyu was suddenly stunned. A sense of shock came over her, and her heart beat a little faster.
After sending a selfie, Chi Jingyuan let out a long sigh and picked up a bottle of mineral water next to him, opening it and gulping down a few mouthfuls.
They had been filming v all along and just entered a short break. They hadn't sat for long when Tzuyu's text message arrived.
"Can you share unreleased, behind-the-scenes makeup photos with outsiders before the official release Wouldn't that get you in trouble with the company..."
Zhou Tzuyu's reply was a little slow, she didn't comment on the selfie just now, but instead expressed some concern with a worried remark.
After seeing it, Chi Jingyuan was speechless and curled his lips. He casually typed a few words and sent them:
"Do you think I am you"
After sending it, he hesitated for two seconds, looked up and saw several members who had just gone to the bathroom walking towards him. He thought about it again and added another line:
And he did not share it with anyone else.
