Boy group: In order to survive, I have to open business

At noon on November 11, the lead single of the album of the same name was released! The MV thumbnail is a miniature solar system held in the palm of a hand.

Different from the lyrical pop style created by the prequel, "JUP1TER" is a song with a strong sense of epic, with prominent strings. The song is led by strings, with brass and piano as the main instruments. The layering and melody are very distinct, and the connection between the verse and chorus, the chorus and the bridge are all works that can be recorded in the history of idol pop music. Xia Xinglang believes that this song will become the pop song of the year.

The MV and audio were announced at the same time at noon, and "JUP1TER" debuted at number one on the chart, overwhelming the previous pre-released song "Rosier". The situation at the end of November is rather special, as many idol groups will choose to release winter mini albums around Christmas in December, and the chart will briefly have a one-month window period, so it is relatively easy for their audio sources to get number one at this time.

C-company's unique trailer fraud has made a comeback. I thought the whole album was a fairy-tale healing song, but the title song turned out to be a blood-boiling and energy-filled song. Fans who waited for the MV release on time were pleasantly surprised.

The camera starts with a cutout of a spaceship, which enters a dimly colored universe and switches to a realistic style. Xia Xinglang, as the captain, leads an exploration team into space and sees a rose on a small planet.

"flower?"

"It's a rose."

"The presence of plants and their ability to grow means there is water and land here."

"It means the oxygen level is suitable for living."

The next second, it was detected that a meteorite was about to fall on the planet. The team members returned to the spacecraft and discussed whether to take the flower away. They worked together to put the flower into the pot, then drove the spacecraft away from the planet. On the way back, they encountered a black hole.

"Everyone hold on to my hands!"

When Xia Xinglang woke up, he found that the spaceship was destroyed and the team members were separated. He was on a new planet with tall trees and grass. There was only Rose around him, and he had to find the team members who had lost their memories.

String music starts and the scene begins with a dance. Everyone starts with floor movements, moving one after another like falling dominoes.

Xia Xinglang found his former teammates one by one, found them and woke them up. Everyone's roles corresponded to the trailer. In their eyes, Xia Xinglang was the little prince. All seven of them returned to the team and embarked on the interstellar journey again.

Overall, it is a story with a traditional plot and a touch of fantasy.

: It feels like a boys' comic

: The song is nice

: I don't know why I feel sad.

: The beginning is in the collage style of Kolaqi, the art is very good

: So the story is false in the end? Just a fantasy

: The characters correspond to the trailer, they are not fake

: I want to see this all-black stage costume, black shirt and black trousers

: I want to see them singing in space suits haha

"Congratulations! Your new song has debuted at number one and has been listened to online for over 200,000 times."

The assistant told them half an hour before the showcase, but this good news could not ease everyone's nervousness. Xia Xinglang had been observing Hong Zhanglin's reaction and saw that he had been holding his hands folded in front of his chest: "Brother, what are you doing?"

Hong Zhanglin's forehead was covered with cold sweat: "This will help relieve tension."

"is that useful?"

"Yeah, I used to be like this if I was nervous on stage."

"..."

Xia Xinglang went over and hugged him: "Brother, will this be better?"

Hong Zhanglin was a little stunned by his hug: "A little bit."

"I want a hug too," Kim Seung-hyuk came over to hug Siaolang, and then Hwasanwon Eiji also came over, and the two of them hugged him together, and finally it turned into a group of seven people hugging each other.

Xia Xinglang laughed first, and his laughter spread, until everyone gradually laughed together.

"It's time to shout slogans," Xia Xinglang said with a smile, "The other seniors are doing the same, and so are the comics. We need to have momentum, and we can't lose momentum!"

"JUP1TER!" Xia Xinglang was the first to shout, "Fighting!"

"Fighting!"

The combined voices of seven people were loud and warm. Xia Xinglang looked at Hong Zhanglin. At this time, Zhang Lin's expression relaxed and he smiled at him.

They walked towards the stage, and after the host finished warming up, they stood on the stage. The audience below was ready to wave banners, and there were also cheering light sticks of various colors. The sky was pitch black, and no stars could be seen in the city night because they were hidden in the night lights. The stars are not only in the sky, but also on the stage.

"Hello everyone, we are a new group, JUP1TER!"

The cheers were very enthusiastic. Xia Xinglang waved to the audience and noticed that many people were holding banners with their names on them: "Seunghye, our captain, let me introduce myself first."

"Hello everyone! I am the leader of jup1ter, Kim Seung Hyuk."

"I'm Yin Donghao from jup1ter."

"Hello everyone, I'm the youngest member of jup1ter, Xia Xinglang." Xia Xinglang did not forget to make hand gestures and made a heart shape with his hands in front of his chest to the audience.

“…Hello everyone, I’m jup1ter’s lead singer, Hong Zhanglin.” After introducing himself, Hong Zhanglin completely forgot about the heart gesture.

"Hello everyone……"

The members took turns introducing themselves, and each person's words triggered screams.

"Let's perform first. We will bring you the title song of the same name, 'JUP1TER'. Please look at us." Kim Seung Hyuk slightly adjusted his headset, "Please cheer for us!"

The showcase live stage is usually pre-recorded, and may be open-mic or semi-open-mic depending on the situation. However, their first appearance is within the company's protection period, and they have gone through three rehearsals. The stage scheduling, movement lines and positioning are all accurate to millimeters. In order to present the most perfect stage, the uncertainty of open mic is too great.

String music sounded, and the members stood in turn. Their stage movements were neat and orderly. The rounds and positions were ranked according to the order. Xia Xinglang's voice served as the introduction. The dance version has not been announced, so this is their first performance stage and they have to be fully focused.

There were so many shots, and he couldn’t let the audience down, so Xia Xinglang smiled unconsciously. Could he convey this feeling to everyone through the stage?

The main song ends, the first chorus begins, and Yin Donghao takes C.

Xia Xinglang stood back to back with him, the two of them crossed their arms and quickly returned to formation. Huashanyuan Yingzhi began to sing the second verse of the song, and the six members stretched out their hands around him, leaving space in the middle.

The second chorus shows the interaction between Cha Jae Hoon and Hong Jang Rim.

Xiao Yu was in charge of the bridge part. He stood in the center of the seven of them and made neat shoulder and hand gestures.

Entering the rap part, Kim Seung Hyuk and Ha Xinglang took turns singing the lyrics. Kim Seung Hyuk held the headset and made a cross-legged movement. At the end, Ha Xinglang returned to the center and the song accompaniment gradually faded out.

The song ended faster than he had imagined, but the choreography was really complicated, with difficult stage movements, almost running across the entire stage. Standing in the C position was the most relaxing moment. If the mic was on, he would definitely be out of breath. At the end, the members gathered together and turned sideways to face the audience.

After the song ended, the host asked a few questions, mostly screened questions from the media, and the vast majority of them were about the album, whether the album concept revolved around the Little Prince, what musical styles it included, and the members' favorite songs.

"My favorite song of this mini album is the title song, and there is also a song included in the album called 'Eclipse'," said Xia Xinglang. "The songs included in the album are very nice."

Kim Seung Hyuk continued, "Yes, we will perform this song next, please look forward to it."

Host: "By the way, do you have any special feelings after your debut?"

"It's very busy," Yin Donghao said. "I have to practice dancing every day, but it's also very fulfilling."

“It’s really busy,” everyone agreed, “but when I’m tired to a certain extent, I can actually smile. I feel very lucky because I have fans supporting me so it doesn’t feel hard.”

“It’s all because of the fans’ votes that we are where we are now.”

MC: "Oh, speaking of fans, the fandom name hasn't been announced yet, right? What is the fandom name of our JUP1TER?"

The big screen displays the word 'SUN'.

Kim Seung Hyuk: "It's not the sun, that's the wrong word. It's a word that sounds very similar to our group name."

Yin Donghao: "He is a character from Greek mythology."

Xia Xinglang: "Give me another hint! Wiggle, wiggle..."

Yingzhi then thought of the second round of performances: "Ah, it appeared in the team name of the second public performance."

Cha Jae-hoon also had an impression: "It's Cupid."

Animation of cracks appearing on the big screen, and after it shatters, the gold-plated word "CUPID" is revealed.

MC: "Jup1ter's fan name - Cupid has been officially announced. Audience members, no, Cupids, do you feel like you have become the god of love? Next, please change your clothes and perform the song "Eclipse" from the new album!"

Everyone almost ran backstage, took off their baseball uniforms for the performance, and put on new jackets and trousers with the help of the costume designer. Within five minutes, including a simple touch-up of makeup and hairstyle adjustment, the members were on stage again.

The songs included in the album are of an electronic pop style, with a synthesizer sound effect at the beginning. The choreography is simpler than the single of the same name. The male group dances are mostly open and close, and the dance steps incorporate jazz elements, which is very enjoyable to watch.

Everyone then shared their feelings about the album production and recording, and mentioned some interesting things during the MV shooting.

"Because the MV was about encountering a black hole," Xia Xinglang said, "it had to be performed with a green screen and no props. To give the feeling of weightlessness, I used wires to hang myself in the air, which was actually quite interesting."

"Finally, let's present a special gift, which is also the lyrical prelude of our album, 'Rosier'."

Seven people stood in front of a microphone. For this kind of lyrical song without choreography, there was no issue of opening or closing the microphone. They had to sing live, and lip syncing would be discovered immediately.

This is when the accident happened.

Hong Zhanglin's microphone was not turned on. For some reason, his voice was very low when he sang. Xia Xinglang immediately took off the microphone and handed it to him.

Hong Zhanglin looked at him gratefully, but the beat was wrong, and Yin Donghao, who came in for the chorus, saved the situation in time.

In the second verse, Hong Zhanglin forgot the lyrics. This was the lead singer's part. Xia Xinglang was afraid that there would be mistakes on the stage again, so he led him to sing the first few sentences. Hong Zhanglin was still not in good shape and the beat was too fast, which was a very low-level mistake for a lead singer, but Hong Zhanglin was at a loss, as if he had been stripped naked and was standing on the stage for the first time.

He was very nervous. Xia Xinglang could feel his voice trembling during the chorus, and he could only hug his shoulders.

"..."

"Thank you all for coming to see our stage! Cupids, please support our performance! We are jup1ter, thank you all!" Everyone bowed together, and the showcase officially ended.

After Hong Zhanglin stepped down, he stood there in disappointment. Xia Xinglang went over to comfort him: "Brother, are you feeling unwell?"

"I can't sing anymore." said Hong Zhanglin.

What does it mean to be unable to sing?

Hong Zhanglin lowered his eyes: "I'll quit the group. It's not too late now."

Xia Xinglang heard the system alarm ringing in his ears.
