debut [entertainment]

MASKCROW came to Korea to participate in the episode of "RUNNINGMAN" variety show promotional single, but it only aired a preview, and it has already rushed to the top of Naver's hot search that day.

People sighed in succession: The secrecy work is well done!

All the media in South Korea didn’t hear any news before the trailer was released. When the trailer was released, MASKCROW had already left South Korea.

Missing such a big news, the media simply sighed, and could only sit at home and wait for the official broadcast of "RUNNINGMAN" on Sunday.

Although it is still unknown which country MASKCROW is from, South Korean fans have already regarded MASKCROW as the second person who made his debut in South Korea and then went to the world music!

No.1 is naturally Psy, who became popular all over the country with his song "Gangnam Style" a few years ago.

But apart from Psy, how many boy and girl groups in South Korea once wanted to rush to the US market, but in the end they all returned to Korea with mediocre response.

WonderGirls, JYP's once-popular girl group, entered the United States with the single "Nobody", but in the end it directly caused WonderGirls' Korean market to be gradually eroded by others, and finally ended up empty-handed, and the members quit the team, and finally became everyone. The painful lesson of regret in my heart is already in front of me.

As for SM, it's not that Girls' Generation hasn't been to the US market, and they've also been on shows, but they still haven't been able to open up this market, and the popular boy group EXO is the same.

Besides, YG and BIGBANG have become quite popular recently, but they can’t do anything to push KPOP into the Billboard singles chart and compete with European and American singers.

But these seniors, after all, gradually paved the way for the younger generations with their own bodies. In the future, there may be other boy groups and girl groups entering this market one after another, let alone mentioning it for the time being.

At least for now, MASKCROW is a representative figure of their rush into the US market!

Although "Cool Girl" released by MASKCROW is not KPOP music, but in the view of all South Korean media, "Cool Girl" first debuted in Korea in the Korean version, so it is naturally from Korea.

When the English version of "Cool Girl" entered the Billboard singles chart, the South Korean media had already issued press releases, not to mention that "Cool Girl" finally entered the top ten, top three, Even first!

When the English version of "Cool Girl" became No. [-] on the Billboard singles chart, the South Korean media almost regarded MASKCROW as the light of KPOP in South Korea to promote her. During this period, her name appeared on Naver almost every day. Search.

From the collection of headgear styles, to the costumes of each live performance, to why she is so mysterious, to her parkour every time she avoids the paparazzi, there is nothing that cannot be searched on Naver.

So even though MASKCROW's debut year is still young, her status in South Korea is already very high, and her fans quickly attracted a large circle, even several times higher than those local groups that have debuted for several years.

And "Runningman" actually invited MASKCROW?

You even found out from the preview that MASKCROW has a sense of variety?

Can the South Korean people not look forward to it?They can look bad!

On Sunday of this week, almost under the eyes of everyone's anticipation, SBS finally released a new issue of "Runningman" belatedly.

As a South Korean ace variety show, "Runningman" reached its peak in 2013, and the ratings remained good until last year.

But the gradually exhausted creativity has made this ace variety show go downhill.

So far this year, the highest ratings of "Runningman" have not been able to break through double digits, and there are also reasons why the audience began to experience visual fatigue from "Runningman".

The "Runningman" program team felt this crisis, and therefore tried to change the status quo by inviting more topical guests.

That's why they try to contact MASKCROW.

At the beginning of the show, the national MC Liu Zaishi stood in the center and teased each other about the costumes with other people.

"It's rising so fast! It's already reached 5%!" The PD of the program group was staring at the real-time ratings, a little excited.

In the past, it was impossible for the ratings to reach the figure of 5 when the program first aired, which shows that the public has been attracted by the MASKCROW in the preview, so they waited in front of the TV for the program to be broadcast early.

"RUNNINGMAN" was playing on the big screen in real time. Just as Liu Zaishi started to introduce MASKCROW, there was a small peak in the real-time ratings of the program.

"Seven percent!"

The main PD and the PD next to him held hands tightly. They made a bet before, which can be regarded as a small bet inside "RUNNINGMAN". The pressure was over 10%. Whether it was due to the expectation of this program or the expectation of small money, they all gathered together and stared at the ratings curve with all their attention.

MASKCROW finally appeared in the camera!

"7.5! 7.5!"

"8%!"

Just like watching stocks go up and down, their hearts beat fast, and their eyes stared at the curve without wanting to move.

Soon the program played the first game session - the score competition in the karaoke room.

The interaction between MASKCROW and Kim Jong Kook here is very exciting, and the booing and provocation of the members of "RUNNINGMAN" maximized the effect of the program.

When MASKCROW chose the song "Black Cat" in the first round, the ratings soared all the way to 10%, but in the second round when MASKCROW chose the song "Cute", the ratings suddenly broke the double-digit threshold of 10% , Going straight to 11%!

In the third round, MASKCROW performed "Cool Girl" with karaoke machines, but only scored 78 points in the end. As soon as the scene came out, the ratings jumped to 11.4%!

This has broken the highest rating of "RUNNINGMAN" this year!

The PDs and the writers happily hugged each other, and the highest ratings have already come out. They finally don't have to worry about ratings this year anymore.

11.4, in this year's generally low ratings situation, is already considered a very high number.

However, what they didn't expect was that the ratings of this issue of "RUNNINGMAN" didn't stop at 11.4.

The scene of three stinky hands plus a MASKCROW, pitifully sticking chocolate into the hood for lunch, made the highest ratings at the moment of 11.4 become 12. In the next third game, MASKCROW popped out as soon as he inserted the bucket The scene made this 12 become 13.6 again!

"Crazy, crazy, is there something wrong with my eyes?"

The main writer covered his frantically jumping chest, and patted the pd beside him violently.

PD's Adam's apple moved up and down, and after swallowing, he said dryly: "No, you read that right."

At this time, the comments on the Internet were quickly posted.

It is not uncommon for MASKCROW to be on Naver's most searched list, and RUNNINGMAN, MASKCROW's bad hand, and MASKCROW's Kim Jong-kook followed suit.

[kkk made me laugh so hard, CROW is really a Kim Jong Kook fan hahaha]

[I'm afraid it's not a black fan kkk]

[I'm laughing like crazy, why is CROW so unlucky, I never won a rock-paper-scissors game hahaha]

[The teammates are all bad hands, I really laughed out loud. 】

[How can uncle jump out after inserting a barrel once, hahaha, what kind of luck is this, I burst out laughing! 】

[I was lying on the sofa in the living room laughing with my parents and couldn’t move haha, why is it so funny]

[Hey, my stomach hurts from laughing, why does Maskcrow have such a strong sense of art, hahaha, please invite her to variety shows, please! 】

[I feel that I can no longer look directly at the MASKCROW of the mysterious person, hahaha]

When the show reached the final mission, MASKCROW dealt with the members without a single hint, and finally locked on Liu Jae-seok after Song Zhixiao gave two hints, but was unfortunately defeated by Kim Jong-kook’s trick, which also triggered A lot of discussion.

[Hey, have you noticed that CROW has a super fast reaction speed? ! 】

[That's right, the posture of Liu Dashen shooting the water gun for the first time, ordinary people can't react, how can CROW avoid it? 】

[Unfortunately, if she hadn't run down the stairs, maybe Kim Jong-kook could have blocked Kim Jong-kook on the stairs to go to the mission room. The scene where he put the remaining 3 name cards into the box at the end made my heart jump out . 】

【Why do I feel that she ran downstairs because she thought she couldn't run upstairs like Kim Jong Kook?After all, at that time she thought that Kim Jong Kook was going to tear up her name tag, right?It turned out not to be, which is a pity. 】

[Oh, yes, it's been a long time since I saw the name tag being torn off. 】

[However, if we really want to arrange to tear off the famous brand, CROW's mask may be inadvertently ripped off. The program team will definitely not arrange it like this. 】

【makes sense. 】

The final highest ratings of the program were still at the moment when MASKCROW popped Uncle Bucket out of the "stinky hand", but the average ratings after that were also maintained very well, and did not drop by 10% until the end of the program.

This issue of "RUNNINGMAN" can be said to be without urine points throughout the whole process. Although the game settings of each round from the beginning to the end are simple, they have been played by the seven members of "RUNNINGMAN" and MASKCROW together.

SBS's official "RUNNINGMAN" account immediately announced the news that the highest rating was 13.6 and the average rating was 10.2%, which immediately triggered a burst of publicity reports.

I really envy the variety shows of other TV stations.

If they didn’t feel that inviting MASKCROW, which is already active in the United States, is hopeless, they would not be one step behind SBS!

I knew that they would have tried to invite them too, but now I feel so regretful that my guts are green.

But it's not too late to make up for it. Now that MASKCROW has agreed to participate in "RUNNINGMAN" to promote the new single, then she must release a new album next time, right?

Will you also come to Korea to promote?

After watching "RUNNINGMAN", the variety shows were really hot. After finding the official contact channel of MASKCROW, they sent the most sincere invitation to their show.

This has also led to the fact that Kim Yoo-hee has just finished filming the MV for the new album's lead single "Thunder", and has received a lot of invitations from Korean variety shows.

"Infinite Challenge", "Two Days One Night", "The King of Masked Singer" and so on are all names she is familiar with.
