The Peninsula chaebol started by rescuing Samsung's little princess.

Chapter 507: Is Tara also going to reach the top?

"Bilibili's 'Inkigayo' live stream, the first week of September, real-time voting has officially ended!"

"Based on the combined scores of the Inkigayo charts, this week's number one spot goes to... Taa, with 'Numb 9'. Congratulations to Taa!"

As the hosts, Byun Baekhyun and Lee Yoobi, finished speaking, amidst a shower of confetti and enthusiastic cheers from the audience, the six girls embraced each other and burst into tears.

Even Lee Juri, who never cries, had tears welling up in her eyes, let alone the others.

The youngest and usually the most boisterous Park Jiyeon was already squatting on the ground, covering her face with her hair and sobbing uncontrollably.

The damage that incident caused them back then is far beyond what time can heal.

Although Li Haorong later helped them clear their names, even today, some people who are "deaf and blind" still say when they mention Taa:

Oh, it's that bullying group!

Once a person forms a fixed perception, they are more likely to believe in themselves, and even if there is a lot of evidence to prove them wrong, they are unwilling to admit it!

Therefore, the criticism of Taa has never stopped on the internet in the peninsula.

When Mars.net deleted it, they went to Twitter and Facebook to hurl insults.

It seems that they won't be satisfied until they destroy the Taa group!

The pleasure derived from this destruction far outweighs the reality itself.

In this situation, it takes immense courage for the girls to return to the peninsula to develop their careers.

They couldn't imagine how many more vicious insults would appear online if they failed this time!

When Lee Qri accepted the trophy, the other artists left, handing the stage over to Taa for an encore.

However, unable to sing a single note due to their sobs, each of them was completely overwhelmed with grief.

Led by Pei Yunjing, the backup dancers went up on stage to hug and comfort them.

Through years of hard work, Pei Yunjing, as the chief choreographer of Venus Entertainment, has designed dances for countless groups.

She designed the most designs for the groups Taa and Kaa, and Park Jiyeon and Jung Neeko are her two favorite apprentices.

At this moment, she hugged Park Jiyeon, who was squatting on the ground, and kept comforting her.

"Taa! Taa! Taa..."

As the girls on stage burst into tears, the cheers from the fans below the stage grew even louder!

Ma Qige, sitting in the audience, couldn't help but sigh as she witnessed this scene.

Taa's first-place finish on the initial stage was the result of the joint efforts of Taa and Zhongkun.

In the past two years, as Taa has been active in China, his fan base has surged, and so has the number of fans in his live streams.

Who would have thought that he, an ordinary person, would now be a blogger with 500 million followers?

In this situation, in addition to making a fortune, his fan base has become the largest gathering place for the poor.

Unlike other K-pop groups whose fans are predominantly female, his fan base is mostly male.

When Taa decided to return to the Korean Peninsula to prepare for releasing a new Korean album, several of his biggest fans discussed it in his fan group during his live stream.

Worried that Taa would be bullied by anti-fans when she returned to the peninsula, she thought of supporting them.

At first, everyone just said they wanted to buy a few albums, but the conversation quickly veered off course.

The conversation turned to the Black Sea that Taa encountered when the "bullying incident" occurred.

While they were cursing the "deaf and blind" people on the peninsula for being inhuman, they were also worried that such a thing would happen again.

So, someone in the group announced that they were going to Seoul to support them live!

No one expected that this suggestion would immediately elicit a strong reaction.

Soon enough, they assembled an "expeditionary force" of over a hundred men and marched into Seoul.

If you didn't know better, you'd think Seoul had fallen again!

So why restrict groups of men from gathering?

The problem is that someone might suddenly become a "genius" and then a group of people might just decide to do it!

Three old men can build an anti-aircraft gun, and Maqige's fan groups each have hundreds of men!

Nowadays, they are only used for idol worship, which is a bit of a waste of talent, but it has also relieved the relevant departments.

Through their efforts, they single-handedly boosted the sales of Taa's new album.

Taa was already a top-tier artist with a wide listening base in the Korean Peninsula. Now, coupled with his consistently poor album sales, Taa achieved number one in his first performance!

"Brother Ma, the show's over. Shall we head to the TV station entrance now?"

After the encore performance ended, a middle-aged man excitedly approached Machig.

Machig naturally participated in this "expeditionary force".

Without realizing it, everyone took him as their leader and followed his orders.

"Okay, let's go! Is everything ready?"

"Don't worry, someone's waiting outside!"

Maqige patted the other person on the shoulder and gave him an admiring look.

-

In the other dressing room, Park Jiyeon, whose tears had stopped, had eyes that were swollen like two steamed buns.

She was the one who cried the most, and she was also the happiest at that moment.

"That's fantastic! We won first place on our very first stage performance! Let's celebrate!"

"What's there to celebrate? We're probably going to have a really packed schedule coming up, we don't have time to celebrate!"

Lee Juri replied to her.

Park Jiyeon didn't make a fuss after hearing that; instead, she laughed and said, "Hehe, it's rare to see Qri unnie cry today!"

"I didn't cry!"

However, Lee Juri's explanation immediately piqued the interest of others.

"Yeah, yeah, this seems to be the first time I've ever seen Qri unnie cry!"

"I never saw her cry when I was in college!"

"Today we've truly witnessed history!"

When she heard her teammates pointing the finger at her, Li Juli quickly defended herself:

"I didn't cry, my eyes are just a little dry!"

"Hahaha……"

But everyone ignored her explanation and burst into laughter.

With such joy, everyone changed their clothes and left the TV station.

Wishing dear Taa a happy life!

However, just as they left the building, they suddenly heard a chorus of shouts coming from the roadside.

The voice, still spoken in broken Korean, instantly shattered their hearts.

They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of fans of various shapes and sizes, holding cakes and banners and shouting.

Park Jiyeon, whose tears had already dried, suddenly burst into tears again.

She didn't take out her sunglasses to hide her expression.

At this moment, they are even more grateful for the support of their fans than for any one of them!

They eventually held up the cake and took a group photo with the Chinese visitors who had traveled from afar. This photo was captured by the media and spread throughout the peninsula.

Initially, netizens on the peninsula didn't take the photo seriously.

It's just a group of overseas fans coming to see their idol, right? Acting like everyone's done this before!

In recent years, fans from Japan, Southeast Asia, and even Europe and America have come to the Peninsula to chase after their idols!

However, they soon realized that something was wrong!

Taa's album "Aan" saw a meteoric rise in sales, exceeding 15 copies in just one week.

This album is available in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean versions.

Of these, 3.7 were Korean albums, 5.6 were Japanese albums, and 7.2 were Chinese albums.

This was like a nuclear bomb dropping on the entire Korean entertainment industry.

This time, it wasn't just the fans who were shocked, but also the major entertainment companies in the peninsula.

It's worth noting that the album sales of 16.5 copies have surpassed Girls' Generation's "MM" album of 16.3 copies this year, making it the best-selling album among Korean girl groups.

That's Girls' Generation!

Since 2009, Girls' Generation has been the top-selling girl group album almost every year!

But this year, Taa surpassed Girls' Generation in just one week!

Moreover, given this trend, it's not impossible for Taa to surpass "Addicted" and become the top-selling Korean group song this year!

The Korean version of "Addicted" sold 38 copies, and the Chinese version sold 27 copies. It was thought that the title of best-selling book this year was already secured.

Who knew there were such experts? And from a girl group at that!

Over the years, apart from Girls' Generation reaching the top once in 2011, no other girl group has ever done so.

Could it be that Taa will also reach the top this time?
