Chapter 48: Shattering Sales Records

d on her face.…………He clearly said it was EXO, just search for a picture to see the names. Why do you still have to ask It seems like Zhou Tzuyu isn't very bright.However, he rarely takes the initiativ..."The MV is good looking, the stage is also great, EXO this time is really going to be big."

"Yeah, their albums aren't out yet and the sound sources haven't been released. They're already insanely popular online."

However, speaking of it, this song is really good, and the stage performance is really cool too. I heard that Yuan wrote the song and choreographed the dance, he's so talented! He's also incredibly handsome, a perfect boyfriend material. I really want to try dating him.

"You Don't even think about it... Everyone in the industry knows that he was popular with female idols even before joining the group. Many people tried to get his contact information but failed. After "Roar" came out, who knows how popular he'll become, and who Yuan will end up dating..."

"EXO has only been debuting for over a year, and there's still a dating ban, right ** probably wouldn't let them date."

"Oh my goodness, you're new here You still believe this"

While EXO was recording their stage, female idols watching from the side were whispering to each other and occasionally pointing in the direction of Ji Kyeong-won, with curious smiles appearing on their faces every now and then.

When Ji Jingyuan and Cui Xueli appeared on camera at 6 p.m., it caused quite a stir.

EXO has been one of the hottest topics in the music industry since yesterday, and FX's popularity is also quite high. The two of them standing together, male handsome female beautiful, and their heights are also quite close, it actually looks quite a good match.

Of course, only passersby would say that. As for the fans on both sides, they all took their own away without any agreement.

As time went on, one artist after another took to the stage, and this time EXO was in the third-to-last position.

From the performance schedule alone, you can see their current momentum. EXO's previous two comebacks were generally on stage in the first half of music show broadcasts, but this time their debut stage was only before the two top candidates.

The program team is really insightful, knowing that many people are looking forward to EXO's first stage performance of "Growl," they specifically placed them last to attract viewers and increase ratings.

When it was EXO's turn to perform, a pre-recorded video of their stage performance was played on television. The members of EXO took the stage together to watch it, interacting with fans at the same time.

This stage, like the music video, was filmed in one continuous take. The costumes were similar, and while the clarity and overall feel might not be as perfect as in the MV, the live performance has a unique quality that no music video can capture.

Twelve handsome boys in school uniforms, accompanied by the addictive melody of "Roar," danced a synchronized knife choreography on stage. Every part and k was mesmerizing, making it impossible to tear oneself away.

"E."

"X."

"O."

In the closeup shot, Pool Jingyuan made a hand gesture and announced their team name. The fans below shouted in unison, drowning out the music with the sound of "EXO" three times, echoing endlessly throughout the recording studio.

The pre-recorded preliminary round was a huge success, as evidenced by the deafening cheers from the audience and the surge in online discussions.

"One candidate is beast and Ailee, so who is the glorious first place today..."

At the awards ceremony, Ji Jingyuan stood in the middle of the front row, holding a microphone and hosting the event.

EXO is having a pre-heat stage this week and will not be participating in the one pick vote, so he doesn't have any pressure.

He and Cui Xueli looked at each other and smiled, announcing: "Congratulations to beast! Rough Kahmarida!"

"Could you please say a few words" Chi Jingyuan handed the microphone to Long Junheng beside him. The latter smiled and bowed before taking it.

This is beast's third week back for their comeback, and it's also their first number one of this comeback. This achievement isn't that great for a top-tier boy group like them.

After finishing his speech, it was time for beast's encore stage. As soon as Ji Jingyuan finished his speech, everyone began to leave the venue.

After Pool Jingyuan and Choi Se-ri handed the script and microphone to the staff beside them, they also walked slowly backstage with the other idols who were leaving the stage.

The passageway backstage and on stage is very narrow, with so many people exiting together it's crowded for about a minute. Ji Jingyuan followed the crowd in the middle, slowly moving forward.

Suddenly, he felt someone lightly poking his back with their finger.

It felt very obvious, itchy. But he didn't react much.

In less than two seconds, he was poked again, but he still didn't turn around, pretending not to feel it.

Two seconds later, he suddenly reached back and grabbed the hand that was about to stab him.

The skin is delicate and smooth, it feels nice to hold.

Looking back, he was right. It was Kim Yae-rong.

After being caught by Ji Jingyuan, Jin Yirong didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she blinked at him with a provocative glint in her eyes.

Qi Jingyuan chuckled lightly, his fingers tickled the other person's palm twice, then patted their back, retracted his right hand and turned away, not saying a word throughout the process.

Choi Seol-ri, who had been standing beside him all along, took everything in. She covered her mouth and giggled, glancing at Ji-yeong with a playful look in her eyes.

"You look quite skilled, player"

After the crowd gradually dispersed backstage, Cui Xueli sidled up, her voice soft and honeyed as she whispered a word.

"Ani, I'm not a player, just a beginner. I definitely can't compare to seniors."

"Oh, what are you talking about I'm not as skilled as you… And I said, don't call me senior."

"See you next time."

"You're such a jerk."

…………

From August 1st, EXO consecutively appeared on four music programs—Music Bank, Music Center, and Inkigayo—for several days leading up to the release of their repackaged album. This was part of their pre-promotion and hype building for the new album.

The effect is very good. The song "Roar" is truly unique in terms of stage effects, melody, the addictive chorus, and even the appearance and charm of the performers. In just a few days, it has become the top trending topic.

The first album, "XOXO (KissHug)," has sold 520,000 copies as of yesterday.

The pre-order sales and first day sales of the re-issued album "Roar (KissHug)" totaled 410,000 copies.

In total, EXO's first studio album has sold 930,000 copies.
