Korean entertainment's homebody artist 083 The power of a small person
Yoon Hyun's return stage ended with applause.
The live broadcast has just ended, and Yoon Hyun and his album have rushed to the top of the search chart.
Especially when Yoon Hyun's passionate performance immediately caught everyone's attention, and as a result, his eight-pack abs also became a key word...
Yoon Hyun's first official album and second album "My Song" marked his comeback, thus officially opening the curtain.
The next day, Yoon Hyun's album was officially released.
If Girls' Generation blew the horn of attack with 120,000 first-day sales on January 28th, then Yoon Hyun on February 1st was like an elder who patted a spoiled little girl next to him and told her not to make a fuss, dominating Korea's music scene.
First-day sales of 350,000 copies.
It's more than double the number of Girls' Generation. And this number didn't change at all over the next two days.
Sold 350,000 copies in three days.
It's already an incredibly luxurious number, but isn't it strange?
It's not strange at all. Because LOEN Entertainment thought that the price of their album was too high, they wouldn't have good sales, so for the first batch, only 350,000 copies were printed.
On the third night, a new batch of 500,000 albums was rushed out and put on the market again.
Then on the fourth day, Yoon Hyun's album sales suddenly reached 850,000 copies.
This is no longer just a shock to LOEN Entertainment, but also to the entire K-pop industry and even the whole entertainment circle in Korea.
What's going on? Are we back in the 90s when album sales were in the millions again?
However, the sales figures of 180,000 for Girls' Generation's album, which ranked second on the chart, brutally told everyone not to fantasize, that it was just an exception.
Overwhelmed by this magnificent scene, Loen, in a moment of madness, printed one million copies at once.
This time it finally didn't get swept empty again.
But some stores with less goods still reacted to Loen, I need more here...
When Yoon Hyun appeared on KBS's Music Bank as a singer-songwriter, his album had already reached an astonishing sales of over 1.6 million copies and was still steadily increasing. At the same time, due to Yoon Hyun's two English songs in the album, its sales in the US were also not bad... only this part of the data has not been reflected in real-time statistics.
With just this album's sales, Girls' Generation has already lost the courage to compete with Yoon Hyun.
Yu Yongzhen also personally went to Yoon Hyun's studio, and the two had a drink together.
The two big producers were like host and guest, completely releasing their past grievances, it can be used as a sample of police chiefs and brothers eating hot pot together in a cop movie...
Anyway, this somewhat absurd dispute has come to an end.
However, the nine girls' gazes towards Yoon Hyun became increasingly resentful...
As expected, in the first week of official competition, he easily took his first No. 1 spot on Music Bank with his comeback title track.
Then "My Song" began its consecutive wins on Music Bank and Inkigayo.
After Yoon Hyun's successful achievement of two triple crowns, his second title track, "What Makes You Beautiful", which had already taken the top spot on the US Billboard charts for two weeks, made a strong comeback.
Then came another wave of three consecutive championships, during which "Hoot" barely took a first place.
Then before Yoon Hyun-sang's third win with "It's Not Over Yet", Girls' Generation finally got three first places and saved face, then retreated. After Yoon Hyun-sang's third three-peat ended, they started their second round of promotions, or maybe just stopped promoting altogether...
After winning three consecutive crowns on two TV stations with his three title tracks, Yun Hyun stopped his music show activities. Although his fans jointly requested him to continue using his other songs to sweep the entire year's music shows...
One reason is that he himself felt a bit embarrassed, on the other hand, it's also because after the TV series "Tong Yi" went online, the shooting task was heavier than Yin Xian imagined, and he really didn't feel like going to music shows every week.
So only "You're Not the Real Thing" remained, continuing to shine on KBS, while he plunged headfirst into the whirlpool of MBC's dramas.
But Yoon Hyun didn't know that this song, which was discarded like an unwanted child at KBS, would create a legend...
It all started from the MV released on January 31st.
Actually on the day of shooting this MV, several MCs were more playful than serious about their work attitude.
In addition, this is a special feature of "Infinite Challenge", so throughout the entire program's filming process, conversations between people and actions are all infused with humor.
So although Yoon Hyun-sang sang their last song and they all cried, it only made them look forward to the song, but didn't have high expectations for the MV.
After all, one knows how they themselves have acted, while according to Yin Xian's shooting methods, everyone is a pipe with a narrow view, only seeing a small part.
But the final product that came out surprised these five hosts who are already considered top-notch in the Korean entertainment industry.
Especially the main MC, Liu Zai Shi, who is known as the "National MC", saw in the MV his own smile on screen at almost every moment that changed his fate since his debut, including a somewhat tired face captured while being filmed in the car, and even after taking off his glasses, a slightly ugly and funny but full of fatigue expression, so-called relaxed face. And when he heard a certain part of the song and couldn't help but burst into tears at that moment, he felt a sense of being understood and a warmth in his heart.
This feeling will bring a sense of nostalgia to everyone who is familiar with Liu Zai Shi.
Coupled with Lu Hongzhe's incident not long ago, although it did not cause much stir, this does not mean that no one will pay attention to it and no one will be saddened by it.
Among them, their juniors who are walking on the "nameless" road that Liu Zaiyu and Lu Hongzhe have taken before, those comedians of the same generation or even seniors, who didn't feel a little worried and uncomfortable when they saw the smiling face of Lu Hongzhe edited by Yin Xian?
This song is almost written for every comedian.
That's also why that day in KTV, several hosts, even including the normally stoic Park Myung-soo, shed tears.
As a result, this excellent song became popular throughout the entire entertainment industry due to the support of this extremely well-made yet slightly rough MV under Yoon Hyun's direction.
Not only Liu Zai Shi, Jiang Hu Dong, but also Jin Ji Dong who has faded out of people's sight, and Jin Jiu La, Jin Guo Zhen and many other hosts of talk shows, how many are not from a comedy background?
When they saw an MV that almost described the life of a comedian, laughing before and after sadness, how could they not be moved?
So, after this song "You Are Not Truly Happy" started to top the charts, almost every day, whenever you turned on any TV channel that was broadcasting an entertainment program, you could almost always hear this song appearing in various forms from the host's mouth, either a funny singing segment, or a recitation of lyrics, and even acrostic poems with the song title...
As a result, the song ultimately achieved a 10th win on KBS's Music Bank, breaking Girls' Generation's record of over a year that many people thought would not be broken again.
If it weren't for Yoon Hyun-sang's tenth win and his personal appearance on the scene to accept the award, this song would have officially withdrawn from the competition, and this number one might have continued...
Yoon Hyun's success with "You're Not Truly Happy" also became a special existence that cannot be imitated or surpassed afterwards.
Some people say that this is the whole nation giving "Gangnam Style" a great record that will never be hung on its name. This is also the most mainstream view in the media and online.
But some people also say that this is a miracle created by ordinary people with their own strength, belonging to this era.
Yoon Hyun himself prefers the latter statement.
