Luckin's Mystery Band Collaboration

Yesterday, Luckin officially announced that it will collaborate with a band whose name contains the character "five" (五), and will reveal the answer on May 8th!

Faced with such an announcement, netizens in the comment section went completely wild! When mentioning a band with the character "five" (五), the first name that comes to everyone's mind is Mayday!!!

Although it's unclear if it's Mayday, netizens are already excited in the comment section! They even brought up the recent meme where a group of netizens collectively "PUA'd Luckin," saying: If it's not Mayday, we'll switch to Cotti!

However, based on Luckin's previous approach to selecting partners/collaborations, the possibility of Mayday is not very high. Although Mayday is very famous, Luckin usually chooses people, things, or events that have been recently hot topics or of high concern among netizens.

Other Potential Candidates

If it's not Mayday, could it be Wu Bai (伍佰)? Some netizens mentioned that Luckin loves to use puns, so inviting Wu Bai on May 8th doesn't seem impossible. But other netizens replied in the comments that Wu Bai is not a band!

Then someone replied: You've obviously never been to Wu Bai's concert. You could say that as long as Wu Bai's guitar rhythm starts playing, the audience becomes a band! Their voices are even louder than Wu Bai's! At every Wu Bai concert, Wu Bai is the only audience member.

Alright, alright! But still, Wu Bai is essentially a solo artist, not a band, so the possibility of Wu Bai is also not high.

After eliminating Mayday and Wu Bai, some netizens directly raised the difficulty for Luckin, suggesting Maroon 5, which is truly outrageous! Of course, the possibility of this band is even lower than Mayday.

Domestic Bands with "Five"

So domestically, there are two bands left with "five" (五) in their names: Wu Tiao Ren (五条人) and Gao Wu Ren (告五人). Perhaps everyone is relatively unfamiliar with these two band names, but you must have heard their songs! And they're incredibly catchy... It's even difficult to read the following text without getting into the rhythm.

Wu Tiao Ren's classic work: "A Zhen Fell in Love with A Qiang" (阿珍爱上了阿强) On a starry night, an airplane flew overhead, and a meteor also streaked across the night sky

Gao Wu Ren's classic work: "The! Universe! Is! Interesting" (宇！宙！的！有趣) I don't care at all! What I care about! Is your hand holding mine (with breaking voice) and my chaotically beating heart (still with breaking voice) Having you doesn't require magic - "A Bottle of Magic Potion" (给你一瓶魔法药水)

Predictions and Clues

However, according to leaks, May 8th will see the return of green grape latte and serve as a warm-up for the 520 Confession Day. Looking at the two songs above, "A Zhen Fell in Love with A Qiang" seems more fitting for this theme's tone.

From the sunglasses in the poster released by Luckin, the possibility of Wu Tiao Ren seems relatively high, as their guitarist particularly loves wearing sunglasses.

During the recent anniversary of the coconut latte, Luckin specially invited the Shanghai Rainbow Indoor Choir to adapt a birthday song. Who knows if this time's "A Zhen Fell in Love with A Qiang" will also have other versions?
