Chapter 81

Compared to the average price of 8,000 to 10,000 won for a common mini album and 20,000 won for a regular album, the price of Yoon Hyun's album is exorbitantly high, reaching 46,000 won.

And coincidentally, the album of Girls' Generation, which is currently on pre-sale, is priced at over 15,000 won. It is expected to be released on January 28, and the current pre-sale volume is over 50,000 copies.

What about Yoon Hyun's nearly 50,000 won album? It started pre-sale just one day ago, and it has already pre-sold nearly 180,000 copies.

It should be noted that although this album contains 14 songs, nearly half of them are well-known old songs. Even so, achieving such results can be described as expected but beyond reason.

Such a nearly疯狂的唱片预售成绩刺激了很多人的神经。

SBS also showed sufficient gratitude for Yoon Hyun's decision to stage his comeback on SBS on the last day of January instead of February. They firmly resisted the strong pressure from S.M. Entertainment and 200,000 Sone fans, and reserved the last stage of the day for Yoon Hyun.

This arrangement threw the Sone fans into chaos.

Unlike the early 2009 when the returning Girls' Generation was viewed with sympathy and pity by many, the current Girls' Generation has already surpassed the Wonder Girls, who were ruined in America due to JYP's whims, and has become the undisputed top girl group in Korea.

Although not everyone in the industry agrees, almost all of Girls' Generation's fans are grateful to Yoon Hyun for extending a helping hand to their idols during their most difficult times, supporting them unwaveringly even in the most turbulent times.

However, the way these nine whimsical girls later expressed their gratitude made their fans very angry, and they even united to boycott him...

But after a year of settling down, the initial anger subsided, and seeing that Yoon Hyun did not seem to be spreading rumors with their idols, he has completely transformed into the image of a prince on a white horse in the hearts of the Sones.

Some Sones have even begun to semi-publicly state that the only male artist they can accept to be linked with Girls' Generation is Yoon Hyun...

But now, the prince on the white horse has suddenly turned into a black knight who wants to assassinate the princess...

At the same time, SBS's arrangement clearly told all the Sones: their princesses seem to have little resistance against this black knight...

Thus, despair turned into anger...

Then, a group of Girls' Generation fans gathered in front of LOEN Entertainment to protest. It has been almost a year since the last similar incident...

Yoon Hyun, who was both amused and exasperated, naturally could not tell these fans that this was clearly a strategy by S.M. Entertainment. His previous closeness with the Girls' Generation girls had already raised S.M.'s suspicions, and since then, he had not been in contact with the Girls' Generation girls. S.M. released the album "GENIS" to prove that Girls' Generation could still be Girls' Generation without Yoon Hyun, but it fell short of the peak created by "GEE," which increased their dissatisfaction, leading to this expected confrontation.

"Since you are starting to promote your songs, I think it's better to reopen the member registration for your fan café," Kim Soo-yeon said to Yoon Hyun on the way to the audition for "Dong Yi." "This time, the opponent is not just anyone. The current Girls' Generation is no longer those nine gentle little girls. Their fangs can swallow you whole."

"No problem. I'm not promoting my songs for the number one spot. Just like I didn't release my album to make money," Yoon Hyun said with a smile, very nonchalantly.

"You may not be doing it for the number one spot, but you should consider the face of your fans. Their idol, who hasn't released an album in a year and a half, losing to a junior who released two albums last year, where would they put their face?" Kim Soo-yeon didn't want to give up on persuading him.

"Those who think that way have already left my fan café. If you don't believe me, go check the forum," Yoon Hyun said confidently.

"Since you're participating, why not do your best?"

"Of course, I will do my best. Otherwise, do you think I would have made so many stage requests to SBS! I will do my best to give the best music to everyone who likes me. As for the rankings, they really don't matter," Yoon Hyun said as if he had seen through everything.

"Whatever you say." Kim Soo-yeon sighed. "By the way, at yesterday's company meeting, the final marketing plan for your album was set, including the schedule for the release of the source and MV. Are you sure you want to start releasing one MV every day from the 21st?"

"Let's do it this way. I'm only preparing to promote three songs this time. There's no more time for more. The last MV to be released will be the first main song 'My Voice.' By the way, the second-to-last MV to be released will be 'Rolling in the Deep.'"

"Are you still insisting on shooting the MV for 'You Are Not Really Happy'? The company doesn't have much budget left..." Kim Soo-yeon suddenly remembered. "And that MV isn't even part of the promotion plan!"

"No problem, I have a way. Just in time, the last episode of 'Infinite Challenge' I'm recording, PD Kim Tae-ho asked if I had any plans or unfulfilled wishes. I'll use it to shoot this. This song will be my third main song," Yoon Hyun revealed his long-term plan.

"Alright. I'll talk to the company about it. I think the company will fully support it. After all, it's not easy to get people like Yoo Jae-suk and Park Myung-soo to shoot an MV for free. With this gimmick, I think many people will still pay attention."

"I'll make a bet with you. This song 'You Are Not Really Happy' will be the one that stays popular the longest in my album. Do you believe it?" Yoon Hyun suddenly said with a smile.

"Even more than 'Gangnam Style'?" Kim Soo-yeon smiled mischievously.

"Even more than 'Gangnam Style.'" Yoon Hyun was very firm.

"Why do you have such confidence?" Kim Soo-yeon, realizing Yoon Hyun wasn't joking, was suddenly very surprised.

"Because this song is for those who will always live on the TV screen. As long as they are there, this song will not be forgotten. Even if they change generation after generation," Yoon Hyun suddenly looked out the window, his eyes becoming distant.

This time, although Yoon Hyun came for an audition, it was actually just to take a few promotional stills for the new film.

Last year, Yoon Hyun's outstanding performance in "IRIS" was widely recognized. Although the greater glory was given to the lead actor Lee Byung-hun, any insider could see Yoon Hyun's role in the entire series, which was completely beyond that of the male lead. Therefore, after Yoon Hyun's approval, the originally planned ordinary Monday-Tuesday drama "Dong Yi" instantly became MBC's annual big production, and the attention it received increased several times over. Yoon Hyun, who caused all this, naturally could not just appear as a lead actor competitor.

"Yoon Hyun-ssi, I hope we can work together smoothly this time." A charming smile appeared in front of Yoon Hyun.

"Han Hyo-joo-ssi, this time we can finally act in a scene together." Yoon Hyun also smiled.

After two years, the two shook hands again.

Then came the shooting of various promotional stills.

It was a busy day.
