Chapter 76 Music Bank (1)
Music Bank is a live music program under KBS. It is very popular. Any new song that a singer has just released, you will basically hear it on the show. Moreover, Music Bank does not limit the number of times a singer wins, but also makes the audience look forward and excited. Watching singers compete for one, predicting how many times they can win in a row is also one of the fun.
The current rating criteria for music banks are 1. Download the audio source: 50% 2. Record sales: 50% The rating is very clear, the audio source and record sales each account for half.
However, the rating criteria will be changed after 2009.1. Sound source (65%)2. Audience favorability (10%)3. Album sales (5%)4. Number of broadcasts (20%)
After 2009, it mainly depends on the download of audio sources, and album sales accounted for only 5% of the time. It is also because physical album sales are declining year by year and are becoming increasingly bleak. The online audio sources have developed very rapidly and have gradually replaced the status of physical albums.
However, now it is still a rating method where the audio source and record sales account for half of each, which is naturally very unfavorable to "newcomers" like Kim Jong-kwon and So Ji-sup. It's okay in terms of sound source, as long as the work is excellent, there will not be much disadvantages. However, the sales of the album is much worse than those idols.
What's more, this time it's a mini album. Compared to downloading the sound source, the price of the album is undoubtedly too high. The role of the album has gradually changed into a collectible, rather than just listening to music. The idol, which has many fans, is in groups and generally has a large number of sales.
But this is not the reason for Kim Jong-kwon to retreat, because he is a drunkard and is not his intention to drink. Whether it is one or sales, it is not his ultimate goal. His album this time is to return to the song world, show his talent and increase his popularity.
Second, help So Ji-seok "realize his dream". This guy is so introverted that he just keeps everything in his heart, so Kim Jong-kwon needs to take So Ji-seok to play. Third, he is going to help the return of Girls' Generation to warm up, raise topics, increase exposure and attract some firepower!
These are all within the scope of Kim Jong-kwon's plan...
....................................
"This is your standby room. If you have any questions, you can find me, I'm nearby."
"Okay, thank you"
Farewell to the PD who led the way, Kim Jong-kwon and his group walked into their standby room. There were only three artists in the huge standby room. Compared with the fullest things in other standby rooms, here it seemed relatively empty.
Even if Girls Generation has the resources of S.M, they can only get a separate standby room after saying hello, and it is much smaller than this one, let alone it is a separate one. You should know that Girls Generation has 9 people! In addition, the makeup artist, assistant, and agent are messy, and a standby room like that will be enough.
Now, Kim Jong Kwon and Kim Taeyeon have given So Ji-sub a blessing. The program team did not treat them as newcomers at all and gave them the treatment of newcomers. Instead, based on the conditions that had been agreed on, they were given the greatest convenience. This large standby room was only for three of them to rest. It is conceivable how luxurious it is.
"Aigu~ It's so great. I'll only use a few of us in such a big place. I'm going to take a picture and anger Pani and the others."
Taeyeon jumped happily as soon as she entered the house. She always looked forward to one day she could occupy a standby room, so that no one would snatch her from, and she would do whatever she wanted. Although the 9 people were very lively together, they had to queue up no matter what they did, which was also very distressing.
Even makeup needs to be taken in turn. No matter how powerful S.M has, it is impossible to match them with an exclusive makeup artist. It is a waste and no need. Moreover, with their previous treatment, although they were a separate standby room, it was just a small one, which was completely incomparable to the current one. Even if you want to put on makeup at the same time, it was not as big as that.
"Ahem, you can use such a luxurious standby room because of me... Well, you are just a matchmaker for Brother Ji Seok. Why don't you thank me and Brother Ji Seok quickly?"
Seeing Taeyeon jumping so happily, Kim Jong-kwon couldn't help but pour cold water on her. Kim Jong-kwon always likes to tease her when he is free. Seeing her angry look, Kim Jong-kwon felt much happier... Before he could brag, he saw So Ji-sup sneering at him, so he could only change his words and turn me into me and Ji-sup.
"Hehe, thank you oppa. We have never used such a good standby room. This time it's really TOEFL." Taeyeon smiled at So Jisue. She completely ignored Kim Jong-kwon and only thanked So Jisue. So Jisue just smiled politely, nodded, and sat on the chair and started to rest.
"Hey, when did you get so familiar with each other? You all started calling oppa. I remember how much effort it took for me to call me oppa." Kim Jong-kwon said dissatisfied.
"Whoever made you dress so old that day? Anyone who sees you will only treat it as a weird person!" Taeyeon complained about Kim Jong-kwon's dressing seriously.
Kim Jong-kwon was speechless when he heard this. Fashion really didn't match him. However, he also has some talent and can always dress himself up as a "weird" ranks, which makes people helpless. If combined with his cold face, he would be a living villain!
Think about Lee Ji-eun, who treated him as a kidnapper in broad daylight, and Taeyeon and Pani, who took out the anti-wolf spray when they first met...
But today is different. Today, Kim Jong-kwon's outfit is organized by So Ji-sup and Kim Taeyeon. He obviously doesn't trust his outfit. So Ji-sup has been a model and his sense of fashion is naturally higher than others. Moreover, his handsome face, a perfect figure maintained by long-term training, and his natural melancholy atmosphere can be said to be a favorite in the fashion industry.
As an idol who loves beauty, Taeyeon is very easy to match various clothes and jewelry.
So with the joint transformation of the two, Kim Jong Ku's advantages were fully utilized. A hooded jacket with gray on the outside and yellow on the inside, a dark red high-open V-neck T-shirt on the inside, and a dark gray jeans matching the color of the clothes on the bottom. At Taeyeon's request, she also brought a diamond-inlaid cross necklace, which was of course fake. The belt was specially found in the shape of a lion's head, and black sunglasses with windshields, which was simply cool!
When Kim Jong-kwon went to look in the mirror himself, he even swears, "Damn, who is this guy Tm!"
It is conceivable that the success of this transformation was.
Of course, So Ji-sup and Kim Taeyeon are also dressed very well. So Ji-sup is a light green suit, with a gray-white shirt with a pattern of wolf and foxes. He wears a pair of black 7-point pants underneath, making his long legs look even longer. He wears a gray painter's hat, and adds some helplessness to his melancholy look.
In the words of Kim Jong-kwon, "Our theme this time is the melody is cheerful, but it has to express sadness."
Taeyeon, the little girl, was even more overdoing. She had a blond hair and a ponytail on the back, while the cheeks were covered in her cheeks. She also played with a simple plaid shirt on her upper body, and she rolled her sleeves into the middle, revealing her white forearms.
The buttons were not properly buckled, only the one in the middle was tied. A bow was tied directly on the corner of the clothes below, a black ribbon was put on the neck, and a little black bra was exposed on the collar, which looked pure and seductive.
Below are black shorts paired with fishnet stockings, wearing a pair of high heels, and dressing up very boldly!
It is very inconsistent with their "girl" positioning, but it looks very neat, with a little sexy addition to the simplicity, which is also very consistent with the style of Kim Jong-kwon's album. Moreover, this outfit can definitely make people shine, which is different from their previous image.
Just when Kim Jong-kwon was unable to refute Taeyeon's complaints, a knock on the door rang out.
They had just entered the standby room. On the way here, many people saw Kim Jong-kwon's group and were very curious. If someone knocked on the door at this time, they would probably come to visit their seniors.
So Ji-seok debuted as a model in 1995, and an actor debut in 1997 is really considered a senior. Even Lee Hyori was the captain of the FIN.K.L group in 1998. However, although So Ji-seok did not officially debut in the song industry, no one would ask So Ji-seok to visit them in the form of a newcomer.
On the contrary, they have to take the initiative to visit So Ji-seok, and their debut year, status, and popularity are all there. Even if So Ji-seok really asks himself to visit other "seniors" as a newcomer, who would dare to accept it? Instead, he would be even more frightened.
Kim Jong Kwon also debuted in the late 2003. If you really have a qualification, the hot idols are basically his juniors now. There are only a few seniors in the song industry who need him to visit in a while.
If Taeyeon said that, it would be fine. It has only been about one year since she debuted and is basically still in her life of visiting her seniors everywhere.
