。"They primarily hit on these girls, and it's more likely to be successful." 。But there's also a considerable number of people who have been working towards their debut since they joined the company....In recent days, EXO's sound source reputation has declined in the eyes of many casual listeners due to their title track "Wolf."
Many people who listened to and downloaded it didn't like the song, finding it average or even unpleasant. However, sometimes when they leave comments and reviews, they are attacked by EXO's hardcore fans, which makes many people angry:
After the announcement of the re-release album, many people immediately thought of "Wolf" when they learned that the title song was called "Roaring". They then took to the internet to sarcastically mock it:
"After 'Wolf,' EXO started their activities with 'Growl.' Are you guys on a roll with animals now"
"Oh, Dog, I'm Dog, woof, let's go for a walk, I'm the dog and you're the master... shouldn't it be like that"
This comment is a spontaneous creation that directly mimics the chorus lyrics of "Wolf," with very well-structured rhymes. It's a shame that it's used for mockery.
"Woo woo woo! Will the chorus be like this"
"Don't do that! What is 'roar' anyway **, this is really not okay!"
"Hehehehehe roar heheheheh."
"Stay tuned, on August 5th, EXO will roar for you kkkkkkkkkkkkk."
"Such a funny song title, are you serious... Idols should just sing and dance honestly, don't always think about creating something."
"...."
Because of the loss of goodwill, 《Roar》 was only announced with a song title and immediately faced a wave of ridicule. Many people vented their grievances about being wronged in 《Wolf》, directly dragging this unreleased song to the bottom.
It also included questions about the song's creator, Ji-won, with most people, aside from EXO fans, not expecting much from a title track written by an idol who had only debuted a year earlier.
Moreover, ** Entertainment also announced that Pool Jingyuan participated in the MV filming and choreography. This has led to widespread pessimism among music forums.
** company is very satisfied with the online buzz caused after the official announcement. They want to attract people's attention, whether it's admiration or criticism, all of this generates heat.
And from **'s CEO Lee Soo-man down to the planning department, everyone is very confident in this title track written by Ji-seong.
They have now seen the finished MV, and their initial interest and anticipation for Ji-yeong's proposal of a "one-shot" filming have been replaced with satisfaction, amazement, and a strong sense of ambition.
Lee Soo Man praised the choreography, arrangement, and one-shot music video of "Roar" at an internal meeting. He even stated that this song was a groundbreaking work for ** and the Korean music scene, guaranteed to achieve extraordinary success, and requested the promotion team to increase resource allocation.
Regardless of how people laugh and ridicule online now, we'll see who's right when it releases in August.

How many units have we sold now
Backstage at the MBC Music Center, Tao took a sip of water and asked.
"When I watched yesterday, it seemed to be already 480,000."
Kim Jong-dae scanned his phone and replied.
"Oh… the sales are so good, but why is the sound source evaluation so low…"
Do Kyung-soo let out a long sigh and shoved the hamburger into his mouth.
Today is July 6th, more than a month has passed since EXO's comeback, and more than half of the promotional period for "Wolf" is over.
After a month, the title track of their album had already dropped off the charts and was in a "not" state.
But the album's sales shocked the entire peninsula music industry. As of yesterday, EXO's first regular album *XOXO* had sold a total of 480,000 copies, with 290,000 copies of the kiss version and 190,000 copies of the hug version.
The top two spots on the sales charts for the entire month of June were completely dominated by their two versions of the album.
And as time goes on, their sales slowdown is not very rapid. According to industry experience and company estimates, after the re-release of the album, there should still be a buying wave.
This sales figure for music sources is polarized, perfectly reflecting the current common situation of K-pop boy groups on the peninsula.
"Because SHINee invited us, we're going to be filming for MBC's 'We Got Married' next. The script was already given to you guys by Jun Myeon, so you should have practiced privately, right"
Li Chenghuan glanced at his watch, remembering the task ahead, and asked.
"It's okay, Cheng Huan Ge. It's not difficult, we've already practiced it."
The members nodded, indicating agreement to the small case.
SHINee's Taemin and APK members participated in MBC's love reality show "We Got Married" in April.
Ji Chang-wook remembered that when Jung Eun-ji mentioned it, it seemed like the first person they approached for this program was Son Na-eun. However, she ultimately didn't participate due to various reasons.
Now that it's July, we've already filmed up to episode 18. This episode is about Taemin who is currently in Japan and can't come back, so he asks his close junior group EXO from the same company to give gifts to Apk.
This allows for a win-win situation. Not only can it boost the viewership by leveraging the current popularity of EXO, but it also provides EXO with an opportunity to gain exposure on this highly recognized variety show and promote themselves in the process.
Before this, I've already told them, it's very simple. Apk returned yesterday with their mini album and have started promoting their title track "NONONO." They are currently in the waiting room for Music Bank.
Later, EXO will send two members to deliver Taemin's letter and take them to a prepared recording room. They will then perform "Wolf" in front of them and chat casually for a bit.
It's a very simple recording process.
"Alright then, get ready, the program team will be here soon."
After Li Chenghuan's briefing, the members also rushed to finish their tasks. Park Kyung-won finished a pizza in three or two bites, then wiped his hands with a wet wipe and checked in the mirror for any omissions.
About twenty minutes later, the production staff of MBC's "We Got Married" came in. After exchanging greetings and confirming everything was in order, the recording officially began:
"Then please, make sure you deliver the present!"
First, I called Taemin and explained the cause of the story. During the call, Taemin enthusiastically asked several junior brothers to help.
"Don't worry, we will definitely deliver it." Jin Junmian, who answered the phone, said there was no problem at all.
"Oh, and make sure to include Jingyuan in the Apk notification. Don't forget... ", Taemin suddenly remembered something and quickly reminded himself.
"Me"
Chi Jingyuan, who was standing at the back of the crowd watching the play, suddenly got called out. His face was a bit dazed, and he pointed at himself in disbelief.
The VJ filming beside him faithfully recorded his reactions.
What's going on here Isn't the script saying that it was Wu Shixun and Kim Si-gyeong who went to notify Apk
“Inside, this is a last-minute decision because during the chat, several of my nieces said they really like EXO’s Yuan… Kyung-won ah, just deliver the notice I prepared, you don't need to say anything, consider it a favor from your brother.” Taemin's voice on the phone was very sincere.
"Inside, brother, I...will try my best."
Qi Jingyuan immediately managed his expression and nodded to indicate that there was no problem.
Of course, you can't say "I can't go, I don't want to" at this point. It would be so awkward if my ex-girlfriend was there.
He turned his head slightly, the corner of his mouth twitching ever so subtly as he muttered to himself.
