Chapter 88: The Storm Arrives
On January 7, 2009, the single "Gee" was officially released.
On January 10, 2009, "Gee" quickly took over the top spot on various music charts and gradually began to pull away from the next few spots.
January 13, 2009, the song "Gee" could be heard everywhere in streets and alleys of Korea, played by various shops, markets, and CD specialty stores, starting a "Gee" craze throughout the country.
On January 16th, on the ninth day of release without any promotion, it already achieved its first win on Music Bank.
The MV of "Gee" was also officially released, and the MV featured ten girls wearing tight jeans and colorful clothes that were eye-catching at the time. The uniform dance steps of the ten girls made the video's click-through rate exceed 10 million instantly and continued to rise. ?? Transformation into K-entertainment 88
Especially the dog leg dance of the girls in the MV is being imitated by many young people, now even walking on the street, you may see one or two young people wearing headphones listening to this song "gee", and some even jump up while walking...
So, anti-fans are definitely not satisfied with Girls' Generation's big success this time. Jealousy is at work again, causing them to launch personal attacks on the group online once more, and many also criticized the song "Gee", deeming it worthless.
But all of this was soon overwhelmed by the crowd, because they could no longer stop the rise of Girls' Generation. The song "Gee" is really too popular now, it's a divine song...
At this moment, Han Kekai was once again called into his office by Li Xiufull, accompanied by Kim Taeyeon.
"This time, the success of 'Gee' has far exceeded my expectations. I have to say that your creative ability is truly one-of-a-kind. I'd like to ask, how long did it take you to create this song?" Li Xiu Man's face, which had some wrinkles, showed a faint smile.
Han Kejia then said: "Li Xiuman is right, '_gee_' wasn't created by me in a short time. It took almost half a year to brew such a good song. My creative ability isn't as good as you said." Jokingly, if I let you know that this was written in 10 minutes, then... although I am a plagiarist...... but, being a person, it's better to be low-key...
"People without talent, no matter how much time they are given, may not be able to create such a good song." Kim Tae-yeon chimed in from the side, and Lee Soo-man nodded in agreement, thinking the same thing.
"Li Xiūmǎn, if that's all you wanted to say, then why did you call us here today?..." Han Kějiā selectively ignored the topic and carefully asked Li Xiūmǎn.
Lee Soo Man coughed twice and revealed the real purpose of calling the two today: "Recently, MBC TV wants to invite one of you to participate in a fixed variety show due to the popularity of 'Gee', I've decided to choose between the two of you."
"MBC's fixed variety show?" The two girls couldn't help but curl their lips. At the beginning, Girls' Generation encountered a dark period after which not only did they not have any opportunities for fixed variety shows, but even ordinary variety shows were scarce. MBC TV station at that time was even more distant and respectful. Fortunately, there was Han Seung-yeon's face to rely on, otherwise, Han Geng-jia wouldn't have had any chance of exposure at all. Now it's good, seeing Girls' Generation's songs becoming popular, they came over to extend an invitation.
"What is a fixed variety show?" Kim Tae-yeon asked, voicing Han Kejia's inner doubts.
"This program is called 'We Got Married', I believe you've all watched the first season, and we'd like to invite one of you to be the pretend bride and live a pretend married life with another male celebrity."
"What?! 'We're Married'?" Han Kejia exclaimed.
"What's wrong, Xiaojia? Is there something wrong with the show?" Jin Taeyeon asked in puzzlement as she looked at Han Kexia's shocked expression.
Han Kkot-ja smiled awkwardly and thought to herself, "This won't do, I won't let Tae-yeon go on the show with Jung Hoon-don again as a fake couple, Tae-yeon is mine!!!" In her past life, Han Kkot-ja felt that the pairing of Tae-yeon and Jung Hoon-don was just too ridiculous, it's like putting a beautiful flower in a place where it doesn't belong, or even worse, it's like letting a donkey eat tender grass. This time around, she absolutely refuses to let Tae-yeon participate in this show.
"But why did you choose one between us two?" Kim Tae-yeon asked.
Lee Soo-man said, "Because of Kaea's creation of this song, it has already caused a high degree of attention from the outside world. It's a good opportunity to further increase her popularity and let the audience know that Girls' Generation is not only a singer but also a creator who can write their own songs."
Han Kejia touched the back of her head and thought to herself, "Am I really that good?" However, she forgot that she was plagiarizing someone else's song...
"As for Taeyeon, as the leader of Girls' Generation, she has always been very popular. In 2008, she even gained extremely high popularity with her song 'If', so she can also attract many viewers' attention. However, if you two are going to participate in this program, you can discuss it among yourselves, I respect your decision." Lee Soo-man said, looking at the two girls again.
Just as Han Ke Jia was about to say that she would participate in the show, Kim Tae Yeon said: "Can we go back and discuss it again?"
"It's okay." Li Xiufull said, after all, there was no great urgency in terms of time, and there were still one or two months to go before filming started.
Han Kkot-ja pouted and followed Kim Tae-hyun out of Lee Soo-man's office.
Just as they arrived at the company entrance and got on the van, Han Kekka was about to discuss "We Got Married" with Taeyeon when Kim Taeyeon suddenly spoke up in front of her: "Little Keka, if possible, I think it would be better for you to participate in this 'We Got Married' program."
Han Kejia heard this and stopped in her tracks, subconsciously asking: "Why?"
The exam is over, and today's first update is here.
No surprise, there should be two more updates, I'll go play games first...
Hehe ^_^
