Volume 5 2013 Chapter 892 T-ara in 2013

The plan did not achieve the expected results, and Yi Haoyan was of course a little frustrated.

Apparently, his attempt to stop Bae Joo-hyun from moving did not have the desired effect.

However, this is also a kind of sweet trouble.

After all, Girl's Day's comeback was a success, and Bae Joo-hyun hasn't moved out yet. For Yi Haoyan, things are not that bad yet.

Life is like this, joy and sorrow are the norm, and both smooth sailing and dark days are relatively short.

Girl's Day's turnaround in the spring of 2013 was a culmination of hard work.

Then everything will go smoothly for Lee Hi.

On March 21, this talent show singer who was previously favored by Yi Haoyan released his first full-length album "First Love ", which includes nine songs including "Special", "Rose", and "It's Over".

On March 30, Lee Hi appeared as a guest at G-DRAGON's world tour concert and sang the song "Result" with G-DRAGON.

It can be seen that YG is sparing no effort to promote Lee Hi. As a singer in the first season of "KPOP STAR", she, the second place, is more popular than the champion, and is currently the one with the best development.

YG is obviously striking while the iron is hot by letting her collaborate with the company's most popular artist, G-Dragon, to further increase her influence.

In addition to the company's support, Lee Hi's own strength is also a very important reason.

Her debut song "1, 2, 3, 4" won the first place in the music program "M! Countdown", and the 27th Korean Golden Disc Awards Newcomer Award and the 22nd Seoul Music Awards Newcomer Award also provided strong proof of her strength.

In April 2013, Lee Hi's song "Rose" won the first place in the music program "M! Countdown" and reached the first place on the US Billboard.

In a short period of time, the popularity of this cute girl with a reverse charm soared, and she seemed to be as famous as IU was back then.

Although I don’t know what will happen in the future, Lee Hi is indeed in a good momentum now.

She is indeed the singer that Yi Haoyan believes has the potential to catch up with IU.

Her role model, IU Lee Ji-eun, has now become a benchmark for female solo singers.

This phenomenal female soloist is living a very comfortable life nowadays. In addition to winning numerous awards in the music industry and counting money until her muscles cramp, she has also made a new breakthrough in her career.

On March 9, IU and Cho Jung-seok starred in the KBS weekend drama "Best Lee Soon-shin" which was broadcast. She played the innocent and kind-hearted heroine Lee Soon-shin in the drama and received praise for her outstanding performance in the drama.

This is her first time to challenge the heroine of a TV series. Although her success is not as good as Bae Suzy's, it is much better than Choi Jin-ri and Park Ji-yeon.

In recent years, in addition to singing, IU has been trying other development directions.

In January 2011, she challenged her acting skills for the first time by starring in the campus drama "Dream High" (the self-produced drama in which Bae Suzy played the leading role), in which she played Kim Pil-sook, a girl with amazing singing ability. This supporting role gained everyone's recognition as the TV series became a hit.

On March 20, 2011, IU became a regular host of the SBS music program "Inkigayo", challenging the job of host.

On December 29, 2012, she served as the host of the year-end stage "SBS Gayo Daejeon".

The jobs of these two hosts are jobs that can only be undertaken by popular artists, especially the year-end stage hosting.

Today, IU is developing into an all-round artist.

However, Li Zhien is not in a good mood now.

It’s not because of myself, but because of my good friend Park Ji-yeon.

She knew everything that happened to T-ara before, and as a good friend she also comforted them privately, but there was nothing IU could do openly.

Social opinion and the madness of fans are not something that she, as a singer, can resist or change. The only result of publicly expressing her support is to be dragged down with them. There is no other choice.

Park Ji-yeon also knew it.

Last year, the continued outburst of public opinion still caused great harm to the group.

On September 3, 2012, T-ara released their sixth mini album "Mirage". The title song "Sexy Love" peaked at No. 6 on the Melon Weekly Chart, remained in the top ten for 5 weeks, remained on the chart for 17 weeks, and ranked No. 66 on the Melon Yearly Chart.

The performance of this music source was much better than expected, with the rankings of Melon, Daum and Ment all in the single digits. Even Naver, which was ranked in the 20s, quickly returned to the single digits.

Moreover, she was a substitute twice during the comeback of "Sexy Love", and both times she missed the first place despite having high scores in the music source.

In less than a week after the release of the song, offline album orders exceeded 30,000 copies, and it also ranked first on the real-time best-selling albums ranking and second on the daily ranking.

This result cannot be considered bad, but compared to the previous period it is still declining and is almost on par with the debut song.

Sales further declined, ultimately selling only 32,000 copies, the worst performance for any non-repackaged album since its debut.

It should be said that although the results this time are not ideal, it is still good for T-ara which is in the storm. In fact, there are still many people paying attention to it.

You have to know that even in this situation, their performance is still considered to be great compared to other girl groups of the same period.

The worst sales in history is still three times that of Girl's Day, which has just made a comeback.

Not to mention the sound source.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Today, T-ara is still a popular girl group.

But the trend is already bad.

Today, T-ara has basically become a group that only die-hard fans pay attention to, and no one cares about public opinion. In South Korea, where the power of online public opinion is extremely strong and the moral requirements for artists are extremely strict, as long as the scandal is not cleared up, the performance will not be able to recover.

Coupled with the impact of the election results, T-ara's fate in South Korea is basically doomed to be irreversible.

Fortunately, they still have the Japanese market.

On March 20, 2013, T-ara released the Japanese single "Bunny Style".

In fact, CCM has planned to focus on the Japanese market this year and stay out of the spotlight in South Korea.

This operation idea is correct.

But then Kim Kwang-soo did something else that was hard to understand.

On April 10, T-ara's first sub-group T-ara N4 was officially announced and will release a Korean single in early May. The sub-group members are Ham Eun-jung, Park Hyo-min, Park Ji-yeon, and Lee Ya-lin.

On April 14, T-ara N4 released alternative posters of the members, and on the 15th, released photos and trailers of all members. They will release an album and public music at the end of the month, with the title song "Pastoral Diary".

They mainly develop in Japan, but they return to Korea to release songs to maintain their popularity. There is nothing wrong with this operation. After all, they are a Korean girl group, and their core fan base is still in their home country. Even if they hide from the limelight, they have to bite the bullet and return.

Besides, more than half a year has passed and the popularity online has also weakened, so there won’t be any big problems if he returns at this time.

But if I'm going to come back, I'll just have to perform well.

Kim Kwang-soo chose the song "Pastoral Diary".

The lyrics are like this.

…

Why do you treat me like that every day? I hate to hear that nonsense.

Do n't say that again, I want to try to leave like that

…

I am like that, I am living well

Why do you always ask? Let's talk about each other somewhere else.

…

At least be quiet for once and don't bother me anymore
