Chapter 92: It's Over
the pedestrians behind her and the buildings in front were so close, they seemed incredibly distant, like worlds apart.After the confusion, she remembered that a few days ago, in the practice room, t...How is your 《bangbangbang》 going
Hearing Yu Dingyan's sudden question, Lin Na-yeon, who had been sitting there with her eyes darting around, secretly observing everything, instantly became the center of attention. Feeling the gazes from all around her, she hesitated for a moment, then took off her earphones that had already stopped playing the music. She quickly nodded her head a few times and a look of admiration appeared on her face: "It's really good, very nice to listen to. You guys don't know Bigbang's style yet It's so hype! And the v-recording is also very good feeling."
Although her eyes blinked and looked sincere, seeming to value loyal fans deeply, she wasn't really paying attention to their videos. Her mind wasn't on them at all, but rather, she was secretly observing others. Her attention was often drawn by Park Ji-hyo's exclamation of surprise, making her feel itchy inside. She wanted to look but her pride wouldn't allow it.
It's quite contradictory.
Although she actually thought "Bang Bang Bang" was pretty good after listening to it, even though she said so, she wasn't really fond of Big Bang's style of music. It seemed energetic, but listening to it late at night felt a little too loud.
Moreover, she was actually a bit of a face-connoisseur. The flashy and strange outfits she saw in the v earlier were a little too much for her to handle...
A large part of girls are face-conscious and have a natural liking for handsome guys. Lim Na Yeon is one of them.
Though it was insincere, she praised him profusely out of face. Facing everyone's gaze, she hesitated for a second before confidently adding: "He's really handsome, you'll know once you see him."
">”
Faced with Im Na-yeon's sincere expression and her apparent love for "Bang Bang Bang," everyone glanced at each other, half believing and half doubting.
"Pretty handsome Let's take a look together, EXO just finished."
A few people casually swiped on their phones, opening the page for YG. As they operated it, Park Ji-hyo added in a casual comment: “But ‘Boy With Luv’ is really good, you know It’s the kind of song that you want to sing along to after just one listen...”
“Oh yyy~” Beside the girl Minasaki Saria immediately hummed along, her slightly high-pitched voice made the already cheerful song even more lively. After singing, her eyes curved into a smile and she grinned, her crossed legs also swayed a few times. If they hadn't already clicked on Big Bang's V, everyone would probably have started singing along together again.
More than three minutes passed. After watching the "bangbangbang" v, several people took off their headphones and looked up. They first glanced at Lim Na-yeon tacitly and then fell into a brief silence.
"It's not bad, the style is definitely very strong and it sounds pretty good too." Yu Dingyan raised his eyes and thought for a moment before speaking, but then added: "But I still prefer the style of 《boywithv》a little more."
"Me too!"
"Wow, I like 'bangbangbang' more! GD's rap is so cool! 'bangbangbang!'" Although Lin Na-yeon might be a little embarrassed because she said too many insincere things, she still seemed a bit uncomfortable with the role of a die-hard Big Bang fan and started to be quiet. Of course, it could also be that seeing her friends really like 'boywithv' made her feel jealous... However, after watching the '3bang' V, some people had different opinions. Son Chae-young clearly preferred Big Bang's music style. This passionate and infectious nightclub-style song was totally her style, making her mimick GD while making rapper-specific hand gestures excitedly.
Compared to Lim Na-yeon, this is what a true BIGBANG fan looks like.
As for handsomeness, I think EXO is definitely more attractive. Especially Park Chanyeol's... those few shots are really...
With a slight smirk, Kasumi Asahina said as she directly closed the page of 《bangbangbang》and reopened the v webpage of 《boywithv》.
This time, she didn't go straight into watching it. Instead, she scrolled down the page first, stopping her gaze at the song information section.
First is the performer column, which reads 'exofeat.wendy'.
'We That one, originally the female voice in the chorus was hers.'
Then came the information about the creators. When her gaze landed on this section, she saw the name "yuan" listed as the first author for all the credits: arrangement, composition, and lyrics. This name appeared continuously, popping up again and again. It was truly eye-catching just how prominent it was.
'It's him again'
She stared at the song description for two seconds, her lips slightly parted as she slid them upward and reopened the video. Then, she watched it again.
At the beginning, it was still the scene of Ji Jingyuan turning back after she first saw him. This time, it wasn't as direct as before. She stretched out her pale finger to drag the progress bar and watched it several times before reluctantly ending the loop.
After watching it once again, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but purse her lips, a pensive look on her face.
She really knows why, as a fellow villager and friend, Minami despite having such good looks, personality, and family background, would like and admire an idol from another company so much, even though they haven't met many times.
Even without mentioning the touching and deep impression that his help at cb gave her, just looking at Ji Jingyuan's face and smile is enough to be irresistible for a girl of ten or so. He's a weapon and temptation she can't resist.
Especially the personal charm of idols will be amplified on stage, in v videos, and through specially set cameras. Coupled with Chi Jingyuan's already exceptional personal qualities, not to mention Mingjing Nan who has a connection because of that incident, even she, as an outsider watching this v, felt something stirring within her heart.
Yesterday afternoon, when baba said those words, she clearly had a biased opinion because she saw through the fact that this senior male idol from the same company was probably envious or jealous of the other person. She didn't believe anything else he said, but the sentence "Chi Jingyuan is very popular and many people are chasing after him," she now believes it wholeheartedly.
Compared to this boy, she and the foreign trainees like Nan from Nagoya have encountered a totally different kind of experience. These boys are frequently obsessed with them, even pursuing them seriously. They're quite immature, average-looking, and constantly try to appear cool and stylish in front of them, but they pale in comparison. The difference is simply night and day.
Alas.
A feeling of complexity welled up in her heart. Mima Sakurasawa lifted her head and glanced around. To her right, Lim Na-yeon, Yu Deon-yeon, and Park Ji-hyo were still arguing about which song was more appealing, cooler, and had better performance results. However, Lim Na-yeon stubbornly refused to watch the 'boywithv' video until now, offering opinions that were purely subjective and biased without any credibility.
While Zhou Tzuyu on the left first tapped rapidly on her phone with both hands, as if sending a message. After waiting for about ten seconds and finding no reply, she lightly pouted her lips but didn't make any other movements. Then, she put on a pair of earphones, sat quietly cross-legged, lowered her head and stared intently at her phone. Her drooping hair covered most of her face, and only the perfect curvature of her mouth, like her jawline, could be vaguely seen from the gap in her hair.
Looking left and right, Mizusaki Sashana suddenly remembered Minami Mamei in another dormitory. She wondered what that girl was doing now.
But given Nan's attention to Ji Jingyuan, she would definitely be the first one watching his return on vbar.
After thinking for a moment, Mimaki Sasahara tapped on her screen and sent him a text message:
"Is he handsome"
I received a reply shortly after.
"No peeking!"
…………
"Why are you so handsome"
'Sticking out your tongue, aren't you childish You usually act so mature...'
Pei Zhuhyeon sat on the bed, looking at the close-up portrait of Ji Kyeongwon on her phone screen. She muttered a little reproachfully in her heart.
But a smile played in her eyes, and her two little white legs dangling off the edge of the bed swayed gently. The slippers hanging above had already been kicked off the floor. Her ten small toes, painted a pale blue, stretched and curled, revealing the joy and happiness she felt at this moment.
With her close relationship with Park Ji-young, plus Sun Seung-wan also participated in the song's feat and v shoot, of course, several members of Red Velvet were waiting after work on time and watched the release of the v as soon as it was out.
Although they had actually already known the song 《boywithv》 for a while, they had been singing it in the dormitory for almost a month.
But this was the first time I saw it, and even though I was already very familiar with Ji-won Choi and had spent countless times with him privately, in the first viewing, Bae Joohyun still felt a sense of amazement. The song is good to say nothing about, but the few shots inside are really handsome.
There are two close-up shots of Chi Jingyuan in the scene, one at the beginning and another towards the middle. She has looked back and forth at both several times. Each time she looks, besides admiring the charm of this boy she cares about and is close to, a wave of joyful happiness also arises in her heart.
As for the MV of "bangbangbang", she didn't even bother to watch it.
What is the relationship between the Big Bang and her
"Oh yyy~~ This song is really good, the v also looks great."
The two 94le players across from each other had been at it for a while and were getting tired. They sat on the same bed, hands propped behind them, discussing: "The feat sung by the winner was really good, that slightly raspy singing voice feels especially suited to this style."
Ginger Shiqi gave a sincere compliment, although she was actually quite envious that her friends got to be featured on Xi Jingyuan's album under his recommendation. But after listening, she really thought the feature was well done. After all, they had lived in Canada for a long time, and their American accent and English pronunciation were very natural – something others couldn't imitate.
"Hehehe..." Sun Shengwan was clearly very happy to be praised. She giggled twice, seeming a little embarrassed, then quickly waved her hand: "We recorded many times at that time because it didn't go smoothly. Although Jingyuan didn't scold me, he made me feel very embarrassed."
"Also, the scene of you and him colliding is interesting. Was it designed that way on purpose"
Ji-seo's question also made Bae Ju-hyeon, who had been watching the special report all along, quietly lift her head and glance over. She was clearly also very interested.
"Yeah!"
Facing his friend's question, Sun Shengwan didn't hold back at all. He nodded and directly recounted:
Because EXO's fans are more... intense, I was worried that my participation would cause controversy among the fans. So at first, it was only planned for me to do a feat without participating in the V shooting. However, during the meeting, Jingyuan said that I had too many scenes and fans wouldn't be happy if I didn't appear. But if I didn't show my face at all, it wouldn't be appropriate either. So they specially designed this scene where I accidentally bump into him and give him a shoe shine. Then
"It's very interesting... I think this song is excellent, from the melody to the lyrics and even the feel. Jingyuan they are really going to be huge this time... Although they were already very popular."
"How about the title track of bigbang"
"After watching the BIGBANG V, it's true that it's pretty high-energy. The music style is also very interesting. The YG and BIGBANG style are very popular with audiences on the peninsula. I can't say for sure about their results, but I definitely stand on XO's side."
“The audio sources are all out, check the chart, how many times did XO rank on lon this time Last month's audio source debut wasn't beaten, can it surpass BIGBANG this time” Sun Seungwan said while looking around for her phone that she didn't know where she had put down just now, while Kang Seulgi’s phone was still clenched in her hand. After hearing this, she directly took it out and started searching.
Across from her, Pei Zhuxuan blinked, but didn't move. She continued to stare at the screen displaying v, yet she pricked up her ears, waiting for a response from the two younger sisters.
But after waiting for a while, she still didn't hear from Jiang Sheqi. She couldn't help but raise her head again and look over. However, she found that the girl was now staring blankly at the screen, her fingers tapping on it vigorously as if she were arguing with something.
"What's wrong" she asked with a hint of confusion.
"Hmm…"
Ginger Shiqi raised her head, her gaze seeming a little lost:
"Lon seems to have... collapsed."
……
"Congratulations!"
At the stroke of midnight, in the EXO fan club that had just quieted down, a "big news" announcement ignited an instant frenzy. The group chat, which had been silent for a mere minute, erupted with countless messages, the rapidly scrolling interface reflecting the fans' excitement and exhilaration.
Although some fans who have seen the concert announcement trailer have already said that the main song's chorus of the new album is catchy, and although the two trailers released by s a few days ago are also well-made, including scenes with several members, such as Ji Kyeongwon, becoming a hot topic.
But all in all, these are just opinions and predictions. Without actually seeing the finished song, many fans are still quite anxious.
Don't look at these Ailis, they seem domineering online. Honestly, constantly battling with .p this time around puts a lot of pressure on them. After all, the fans in their fanbase are aggressive and their strength ultimately boils down to the idol's achievements. If an idol performs well, they can shine brightly and be invincible. But if an idol doesn't perform as well, the fans can only shrink back and admit defeat. At this point, the louder their cries, the more ridiculous and powerless they appear.
By May, when they first collided, AiLi had already given it their all. After all, the sales of their second album "x" were already declining noticeably, and the fact that their third single was still selling so well was the best proof.
Despite all the hard work of fans, with charting and streaming efforts, in the end, it was still just a close match. Although sales clearly surpassed the other side, Bigbang's audio sources and general popularity were too strong. In terms of heat and discussion, there wasn't much difference between the two sides.
Although EXO might be slightly ahead overall, it's not very convincing. Neither the opposing fans nor ordinary people would accept it.
That's why they have the highest expectations for this June return, but also some anxiety and apprehension.
However, after really watching the MV for the main song of this 《l》, all my previous worries and gloom instantly vanished.
As someone who has been following the Kpop scene for so long, they naturally have their own set of discerning abilities. Although there might be some bias due to personal stance, at least the quality of ’s v is truly satisfying for them, which is why they are full of confidence.
"That's so interesting, I get it now why you guys always said 'ohyyy'. "
"The focus isn't on how handsome the v-shots are, right Each member's hair color is very distinctive and recognizable. Yuan's turn around really shocked me, this shot is probably legendary among all boy groups, don't you think"
"When I saw that scene, especially yuan sticking out his tongue at that k, I can only say... my heart stopped, and it hasn't calmed down yet. I can't even find the words."
"Oh my god! Blue hair yuan, you're my angel!"
"After the popular "smoke gray" hair color, this one is another super classic. This time, I really want to give a big thumbs up to Sister S's stylist! It feels as good as the look in "Call Baby"."
Let me know if you have any other translations you need help with!
"That damn group of idiots scammed me before, "" is really good, it's not a toilet song at all, it's the kind of song where you just hear the melody and think it sounds good. It's really rare for a dance track to be like this. It's kinda similar to XO's "Rage" back in the day."
"You're right, a dance track that's enjoyable even without watching the dance is truly impressive. This release really has potential."
I've also seen the MV for "bangbangbang," and it's still that YG and Big Bang nightclub style, relying purely on vocal power and lighting to create an atmosphere. Watching the MV felt like I was at a cheap, rowdy hostess bar in Jiangbei - noisy, chaotic, and totally low-class.
As a well-known fan of Alice, Zhang Enjing watched the screen filled with positive comments and excited discussions from Alice fans. She felt her own excitement rising. After saying two excited words, she quickly typed a reminder: "Remember to start voting for XO after watching the V! The clicks on V must be continuous, the YouTube results last time were only barely equal, we can't relax at all. And everyone go listen to the songs, the first day's listens for LON are very important, this time we must strive for a number one spot, our hope is really big this time!"
She had just sent her message and was about to move on to other groups to organize the vote-rigging when she noticed that this group started flooding with messages.
"How do I turn it on"
After going in, nothing responded when I clicked anything, and the real-time list couldn't be refreshed.
"Wouldn't it be jammed"
"Lon is broken!"
Several other groups, and also Ai Li in those groups, were constantly talking about this message. Zhang Enjing hurriedly switched the webpage over and discovered that she was having the same issue. The lon she had opened earlier wouldn't refresh, and no matter what she clicked, there was no response.
A few minutes later, news of Lon's collapse immediately topped the trending searches. According to the official announcement, the overwhelming influx of clicks and traffic at the same time caused an overload. However, they stated that they were working urgently on repairs and apologized for this.
Although fans and casual listeners directly witnessed the state of l.o.n.'s collapse, fully showcasing EXO's and Big Bang's current popularity and attention at the time, Aeli were of course very proud of this. However, this was also a crucial period for fan voting and charting.
More importantly, they are eager to see the ranking of their album "" debuting on the charts. This is extremely important for any returning group.
And last month when XO returned, from parachuting in to exploding popularity, then the momentum was completely crushed by Big Bang, leaving many Alice feeling extremely frustrated. At the same time, they've been constantly thinking about when they can take back their rightful place and avenge themselves.
When the results were finally in, at the most crucial and suspenseful moment, you tell me the website crashed
Oh dear...
Although other audio source websites did not encounter any problems, their market share is far less than Lon's, so the persuasiveness is not strong enough.
Beyond the fans and passersby of the two fandoms who were directly engaging in online outbursts fueled by anger, many Ali were anxiously awaiting lon's repair while simultaneously exchanging messages in group chats.
Although it was late, they couldn't sleep because they were hoping to see their idol top the charts on their first day.
What if I get suppressed by bigbang again
If 《boywithv》's quality is already this good, he shouldn't be losing anymore...
After all sorts of worry and speculation, and some restless waiting, it finally came to two hours later.
Before the official announcement was made on Lon's platform, people in the group had already started notifying each other: "It's fixed!"
During these two hours, fans were constantly refreshing the website just to be the first to log in.
"Is it fixed yet"
How many of us are being dropped in What about the sneak attack squad
"Ace, why can't I log in It's stuck!"
As soon as the announcement was made, the group chat was flooded with inquiries. Some fans who were still unable to access it were so frustrated they almost broke their keyboards.
But within seconds, these agitated feelings were instantly soothed, because a very clear screenshot was posted by AiLi, the first website to fix it, and everyone immediately clicked in to enlarge it. Then they saw exactly what they wanted to see:
Lonly real-time chart ranking first, [boywithv].exo.
Second, bangbangbang, bigbang.
"Nice!"
First published on the Traditional Chinese Novel Network., it's a little lacking..." Ji Jingyuan looked around, "There was still one more...""Guitar!" IU giggled, raising her hand. "Or an electric guitar.""OK, then guitar."Of course, the music girl is a gu...
