Comeback and Debut 117 times
In early July, IU also returned to the stage.
"Can I go see your comeback stage today?"
Yoon Hyun has not seen IU for a long time.
Although with the passage of time, the previously arrogant little girl, after seeing other musicians tailor-made music for her, deeply felt how important Yin Xian was to her.
Then, under the almost pleading persuasion of Kim Soo-hyun, who was unable to bear seeing her sister's low mood, Yoon Hyun made a call to IU with an air of pride.
With IU downstairs, hypocritically expressing that although she's alone, she's still doing well, but just a little nostalgic for the days when someone would make her breakfast every morning. After that, things basically returned to normal between the two of them.
IU no longer rejects Yoon Hyun's calls. However, since she moved out of Yoon Hyun's house, the two people who used to see each other every day have not met again.
Because of his busy schedule and handling almost all matters by himself, Yoon Hyun Sang rarely goes to LOEN company these days. As a result, he hardly sees IU who is basically always in the recording studio or dance practice room at the company.
This time, Yoon Hyun also connected IU's phone call.
"Oppa, aren't you busy filming? No need to go through the trouble of coming all the way here." IU didn't say it outright, but it seemed like she wasn't too keen on Yoon Hyun appearing.
Yin Xian was speechless.
Actually, Yoon Hyun has already accurately grasped IU's mindset. Although today is the first stage of her comeback, on Monday, her new album will be officially released and the online music source download of the title song will also begin.
High open and low close.
Almost like Miss A's album, full of expectation, faint disappointment.
Unlike Miss A, they targeted the US market from the start, while IU... doesn't seem so lucky.
The first day album sales were 40,000 copies, which sounds pretty good, but very quickly the album stopped selling.
Fans seem not to buy into this album...
IU is feeling very down lately.
What Yoon Hyun worried about still happened. Fortunately, it was just a small bump that could help her remember. It wouldn't hurt too much either.
So even though IU didn't want to appear herself, she still had to be there.
Due to Yoon Hyun's connections, LOEN has a good relationship with the three major broadcasting stations. Therefore, IU's comeback stage is scheduled on all three stations, starting with KBS's Music Bank on Friday.
Because it was a comeback stage, IU didn't have any live broadcast scheduled for the afternoon and just needed to finish recording in the morning at the photography studio. Yoon Hyun also arrived at the Music Bank recording site on Friday morning.
Deceiving IU, with Kim Soo-hyun's help, Yoon Hyun successfully infiltrated IU's fan base.
Although IU didn't know that Yoon Hyun had arrived, her fans found out right away.
IU's fans saw Yoon Hyun and were a bit surprised, many people were excited to shake hands with him, but he declined: "We're all here today to listen to IU's 'Cotton Candy', I'm just an ordinary fan. Don't disrupt the order because of me."
The recording went very smoothly. After completing a dress rehearsal, the recording began directly, and IU's singing skills on the spot were still very stable. It was another song that truly tested her vocal abilities, with a difficulty level that even surpassed "You and I". IU's breath control and foundation were clearly demonstrated.
Naturally, she received enthusiastic responses from her fans.
After listening to the song, Yoon Hyun intended to get up and go to the waiting room in the back to see IU, but was stopped by fans.
"Yoon Hyun OPPA! Please write more songs for IU!" The crowd of fans looked at Yoon Hyun with pleading eyes.
It was roughly during the time of Girls' Generation's popularity that fans made a beautiful story about their idols' success and shared it, deeply influencing many people.
Naturally, this includes IU's fans as well.
"What's wrong? This song is actually pretty good! What's wrong with you guys?" Yoon Hyun wouldn't express his dissatisfaction with IU's new album songs in public, but after hearing IU's live performance, he suddenly thought that this song was actually not bad. It matched IU's cute feeling well, after all, she's still a minor...
"But compared to 'You and Me', it's still far from it..."
"IU was still a little girl, singing such cute songs. Isn't it suitable?" Yoon Hyun laughed. "I think her song is pretty good. You guys should support her more!"
The fans were left speechless.
Yoon Hyun finally arrived at the backstage and saw IU who was preparing to change clothes for the next schedule.
"Oppa, how did you come here?" IU saw Yoon Hyun and was stunned for a moment. Although she had said that she didn't want Yoon Hyun to appear on her comeback stage, a smile still involuntarily appeared on her face.
"Look at our Ji-eun's comeback stage! How can we miss this!" Yoon Hyun said with a smile, "You're more stable when singing live now."
"Thank you, oppa!" IU's face showed a somewhat relieved smile. However, it still couldn't be said that she was very happy.
"Do you want to change clothes? Then I'll go out and avoid for a while?" Yoon Hyun saw Kim Soo-hyun standing on the side with a constipated expression, holding her clothes.
"It doesn't matter." IU, on the other hand, didn't seem to mind at all and directly started taking off her clothes.
Yoon Hyun and Kim Soo-yeon petrified at the same time.
Even if it's just changing outer clothes, is it really okay to change clothes in front of a man like this?
Yoon Hyun and Kim Soo-yeon exchanged a glance, and for the first time, they felt a sense of rapport.
When IU finished changing her clothes, Yoon Hyun finally broke free from the state of being lost in thought and came to stand before IU, whose expression wasn't very good.
IU behaves like a little kitten, very gentle.
"Don't think too much," Yoon comforted, gently rubbing IU's red eyes. "Just sing well and do your best for the people who like your songs. I was happy to hear you sing today."
"Thank you, oppa......" IU suddenly threw herself into Yunhyeon's arms.
"Don't cry! You'll ruin your makeup and have to reapply it later!" Yoon Hyun made a joke that wasn't funny.
Because of the album's high opening and low closing, IU's new song promotion schedule was very full, so naturally there wasn't much time to chat with Yoon Hyun here. Moreover, Yoon Hyun was also afraid that if they chatted too long, he would end up making the young girl cry. Additionally, the next person who was supposed to record a song had already arrived, so IU and Yoon Hyun only chatted for a bit before she hurriedly left to continue with her schedule.
"What's next, a new rookie group?" Yoon Hyun sent off IU and didn't rush to leave. Anyway, he had no other schedule this morning, and with his current relationship with KBS, he wanted to watch the recording of Music Bank, and no staff member dared to have an opinion against him.
"Yes. It's a girl group promoted by a small company called DrT." The staff member said to Yoon Hyun while cleaning the room.
"Small company? Well, small companies promoting girl groups is an easier way to attract attention, it's not a bad idea." Yun Xian nodded. The competition among idol groups is too fierce now. Although Dong Bang Shin Ki has practically disbanded due to contract issues, the two big mountains, Super Junior and Big Bang, are still there. Plus, with male groups like 2PM and SHINee, it's really hard for a small company to make a name for itself in this area.
But this company seems to have heard of it somewhere? How does it seem a little familiar?
Yoon Hyun can evaluate others like that, but it doesn't mean an ordinary employee of a music bank can evaluate an entertainment company like that, so the employee wisely kept silent.
"Since everyone is coming, I should withdraw. I heard that your company's coffee is good, I'll go and try it." Yoon Hyun noticed the staff's embarrassment, indeed, if a girl group who was about to debut today saw him sitting in the room like this... the scene would be absolutely spectacular...
"Thank you for your understanding." The staff also knew better and hurriedly thanked him.
Yin Xiang had just walked out of the room when he saw five girls walking towards him.
Yin Xian was stunned at the time.
The several girls opposite originally planned to bow and quickly pass by like greeting the TV station staff, but one of the girls in the group apparently recognized Yoon Hyun and pulled all her sisters back.
The two groups of people stared at each other for over ten seconds.
"Senpai!" After a quick whisper, the girls opposite finally understood who the person standing in front of them was. They hastily bowed 90 degrees to greet him. They didn't expect to meet Yin Xian, such a great devil king, here and were momentarily flustered.
"Hello!" Yin Xian came back to himself and also smiled.
"The one who led them was a girl who said 'We are Evrydy…'"
"Good morning." Several girls bowed and said in unison.
Is that really them? Yoon Hyun actually recognized Bang Min-ah at first glance, but his rationality made him a little hard to accept, their style was really...
So he just stood there stupidly.
"No need to be so nervous, this isn't a formal occasion. I just came to watch my students' recording and left a bit late. Hope I didn't disturb you." Yoon Hyun quickly regained his composure. He smiled and bowed, then his eyes scanned the faces of the girls, lingering on Park Min-ya's face.
He watched the road show of these girls in Myeong-dong that day, and when he went back, he found the video of the previous episode of "Infinite Challenge". Then he also remembered Min-ah's surname.
It's been just a few months, and Yoon Hyun hasn't forgotten yet.
It's just... their style today... if I hadn't seen Fang Minya's somewhat iconic bread face, I really wouldn't have dared to recognize them.
"Minya, I didn't expect you to end up like this too! Do your best! I'm looking forward to you guys creating your own glory!" Yin Xian said with a smile, looking at Fang Minya with a slightly complicated gaze, as if wanting to say something but stopping himself.
The girls opposite looked tense and seemed to be collectively stunned.
"Oppa... Do you still remember me?" Fang Minya was stunned for a moment, then let out an excited shriek in a voice that had changed somewhat.
It's exactly the state of fans when they see their idols.
"Just call me OPPA." Yoon Hyun smiled. "Be careful with your throat, you'll be recording the music video for your debut stage soon."
Fang Minya smiled a little awkwardly, but her whole face was flushed with excitement.
"In April I was still watching your live performance at Myeong-dong." Yoon Hyun thought of this and felt that it wasn't impossible to say, "Have you guys made any progress in the past few months?"
Apart from Fang Minya, several girls were stunned.
They had known before that Fang Minya treasured the water bottle she carried with her everywhere, and they even teased Fang Minya about it, thinking she was just a brainless fan. But unexpectedly, today they met Yoon Hyun who is now at the peak of his career in the music industry, and he actually still remembered Fang Minya!
What they didn't expect even more was that he had actually watched their live performances!
The shock left all the girls stunned for a moment, and they stood there in a daze.
"Hurry up and get ready! Make a good impression." Yoon Hyun only then realized that he had been too enthusiastic towards these girls because of Fang Minya, and quickly collected himself to emit the dignity befitting a senior.
The girls bowed again to Yin Xian as if they had just woken up from a dream, then hastily walked into the waiting room.
Yoon Hyun-ji thought for a moment and didn't leave. Instead, she went to the staff passage through the staff to watch Girsdy's rehearsal and recording.
For his little fan, Yoon Hyun is actually still looking forward to it.
However, what makes Yoon Hyun feel a bit regretful is that the problems that existed before still exist now...
And the song quality... is really very ordinary...
It's even worse than that.
And this stage design can be said to be... inexplicable.
It's too hard for a combination like this to turn red...
Yoon Hyun looked at Bang Min-ah, who was performing with a smile in the middle of the stage, and shook his head. If she were under him, he would definitely find ways to nurture her, just like IU.
It's just...
Yoon Hyun finally left KBS quietly. (.) Pen Sea Pavilion has opened its mobile version.
