Volume 1 2009 Chapter 129 Follow-up
SM's response was quick.
A few days later, Yi Haoyan saw Girls' Generation's group interview on an SBS program.
The program started with the popularity of the group Girls' Generation, and gradually introduced a review of their journey from debut to now.
The Black Sea was also mentioned vaguely. However, the focus was on the subsequent outbreak, emphasizing the process of the girls' persistence in the face of difficulties and the good results in the end. The nine girls were packaged as standard inspirational story protagonists, and the publicity effect was very good.
In addition to television programs, the entertainment sections of various newspapers also publish various reports.
While focusing on Girls' Generation's first Asian tour, a large section introduces the inspirational stories of nine girls who rose up in difficult situations. Combined with the current pessimistic economic situation, it encourages citizens to maintain confidence and overcome the crisis.
Even South Korea's three major mainstream newspapers, Chosun Ilbo, JoongAng Ilbo and Dong-A Ilbo, all mentioned at the end of their commentary articles on the economic crisis how a girl group called Girls' Generation got out of trouble and rebuilt their glory, and used this to encourage the people.
Then within a few days, Girls' Generation made new moves.
On January 23, 2010, Girls' Generation released a preview video for their second album, Oh!
On January 28, 2010, the second full-length album "Oh!" was released.
Nine cute girls wearing beautiful cheerleading costumes appeared in major Korean media.
The album's design, which clearly conveys a sense of encouragement, echoes the image of providing strength to the nation portrayed in previous publicity, generating a huge attention effect.
The title song "Oh!" was first released online and topped the Real Time Music Chart within ten minutes.
The album achieved pre-sale record of 150,000 copies on the first day of its release.
In a short time, Girls' Generation's fame broke out of the idol circle and became a household name in South Korea.
When talking about this with Sun Enxi during dinner at night, Yi Haoyan was so impressed that he clapped his hands in admiration.
"This plan is amazing!" The boy exclaimed while eating, "I just reminded them that they could use the financial crisis and Girls' Generation's experience to write a story. SM was able to mobilize resources to carry out publicity and layout, and even released an album design that fits the theme in a short period of time! This is a special album to fight against the financial crisis and cheer up the people! This hot topic is so well taken advantage of, it's a big step to success! The key is that SBS, not to mention the three major newspapers, has power over it, and it published an article in the economic section. How can an entertainment company reach so far?"
"You're the one who reminded them that the most important thing in the planning circle is ideas. Execution is nothing to a company like theirs!"
Sun Eun-hee rolled her eyes at him. "South Korea's cultural industry accounts for 15% of the country's GDP, and the most mainstream of these industries is the 'Korean Wave' culture driven by actors and idols. How can such a goose that lays golden eggs not have an owner? Even though SM is inconspicuous compared to other chaebols, its president, Kim Young-min, is the nephew of former President Kim Dae-jung. What's the big deal about getting some media coverage?"
"Ah~ Your circle is so complicated~" Yi Haoyan raised his eyebrows and looked at Pei Zhuxuan beside him: "Ah~ Sister Zhuxuan, such a cool and pure beauty has to enter this complicated circle, it hurts to think about it!"
Zhu Xuan ate with small mouthfuls, and casually lifted her hair with an expressionless face: "You seem to have changed a little recently? Are you in love? Your words sound a little greasy~"
“Hahaha!” Sun Eun-hee clapped her hands and laughed, “I think so too , but Joo-hyun said it so harshly, look at his expression changed!”
Pei Zhuxuan smiled quietly, and her quiet movements were very pretty. After she finished laughing, she looked up and found that Yi Haoyan opposite her had indeed become much more serious.
"I feel like you've become a lot more frivolous since you came back on the 19th. I don't know what happened?" Bae Joo-hyun continued to throw the knife gracefully at Yi Haoyan, maintaining a dignified and elegant posture while calmly speaking murderous words.
"Flirty?!" Yi Haoyan stared at Bae Joo Hyun with wide eyes, a look of shock on his face.
He didn't expect that Sister Zhu Xuan, who was always gentle and cute, had such a side to her, and he didn't expect that this side would be used on him!
"Hahaha!" Sun Eunxi was about to burst out laughing.
As a cousin, she supports Yi Haoyan's relationship with the rabbit because it will help her brother's recovery. Besides, they are both 15 or 16 years old , which is normal in Korea.
But it seems that Zhu Xuan doesn't think so.
It's rare to see her scolding people, and it's quite interesting.
The relationship between these two is also quite delicate. But it doesn't matter, Haoyan is still young, there is still a lot of time, and the most important thing now is to cure the disease.
"Sister Zhu, Sister Zhu Xuan!" Yi Haoyan was so angry that he stuttered: "How am I frivolous?"
"Ani? Maybe not?" Pei Zhuxuan glanced at Yi Haoyan and said indifferently: "It's just a feeling. Maybe I'm wrong, Miane~"
The soulless apology of the young lady choked Yi Haoyan and he was speechless. He, who was always eloquent, had to look to Sister Enxi for help. For a moment, he didn't know what was wrong with this gentle and lovely young lady.
Sun Enxi smiled and said nothing. He will know what he should know naturally. Let him feel it himself.
We finished dinner in confusion and went back to our rooms to rest.
Yi Haoyan turned around and started talking to Rabbit on the phone.
After one day of dating, their relationship progressed rapidly.
Although Tu Zi is very busy with practice, we still find time to see each other almost every week, and we have a lot to talk about every day.
The hottest topic recently is Girls' Generation and their newly released album.
"Brother Umbrella! The sisters of Girls' Generation have been amazing recently. Their new album became a huge hit as soon as it was released! It's absolutely outrageously popular!" The excited tone makes people feel Tuzi's excitement even through the screen.
"Yeah, it's really popular! The mainstream media has reported it. I feel like it has risen to national level."
This also has my contribution!
Yi Haoyan murmured in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud because it would definitely scare the rabbit.
Thinking of the rabbit's surprised look, Yi Haoyan secretly laughed. That girl must have never imagined who her umbrella brother was.
"That's right, they are totally a national girl group! I love their looks this time! The cheerleaders' costumes are so cute! The pink boots make their legs look so long! I'm so jealous!"
"I saw it when she was filming 'Genie'. Of course she has to show off her good figure!" Yi Haoyan agreed while secretly complaining in his heart.
Actually it’s not that long. I’ve seen her without makeup.
Except for Sooyoung, Seohyun, Yoona and Yuri, who are taller, everyone starting from Tiffany is less than 164cm tall.
But the proportions are good. Even Sunny, who is 155cm tall, has long legs and a good figure.
But Bunny, you also have a good figure. Although I don’t know if you can surpass Sunny, you should have no problem defeating the other 8 sisters!
"Brother Umbrella, you only care about body shape! It turns out that male fans are all body fans!"
"No, I didn't do it on purpose. The key dance moves and costumes are just like that. I think it would be hard not to see it!"
"Humph! It's all to please you male fans! We are different!"
"Well, I'm not a fan either! Besides, don't you also like the sisters' long legs? Are you also a meat fan? A meat-eating rabbit??? Haha!"
I tease the rabbit on purpose. She is always so cute! Now she must have a chubby face again. I really want to poke her.
"I'm not a carnivorous rabbit!! Brother Umbrella is the carnivorous umbrella!!! We look at the sisters with appreciation and envy, which is different from the evil gazes of male fans!!! Humph!"
"Yes~Yes~I am the evil carnivorous umbrella, and I specialize in eating cute herbivorous rabbits~"
"Hehehe~ This time, Jessica's blonde hair is so stunning! She looks like a real-life Barbie doll! She's just as charming as she was in the concert! Wow!!! Her looks are so crazy! It's totally unfair!"
"Indeed! Sister Jessica's facial features are more Westernized, her face is three-dimensional, her temperament is a bit cold, and she is a bit cute. Blonde hair suits her very well."
Of course I know, it was me who let her have blonde hair!
The two chatted non-stop.
It got to the point where they were urging each other to sleep but couldn't bear to go to sleep.
A beautiful first love always makes people fall into the illusion that the world is so happy.
At this time, even the most ordinary communication can bring great pleasure to both parties, as if this is how life is.
In fact, the world is still that complex and suffocating world.
Life is still the realistic and sigh-worthy life.
It’s just that young boys and girls in love can’t feel it.
