very high..."Then don't participate, just quit.Chi Jingyuan directly interrupted her with a blunt retort, then leaned sideways and pressed the button to start the car. In the roar of the engine, he b...Peninsula asteroid
Ji Jingyuan received a message from Pei Zhuxuan the next day. The other party didn't have any opinions about not being able to attend his birthday, instead, she cared about EXO's recent work intensity and reminded Ji Jingyuan not to cause any more trouble like before.
Finally, he took a photo with the Pokémon figurine that Ji Jingyuan and Jiang Sheqi had given him and sent it over.
In the photo, Jennie sports a ponytail and has light makeup on, giving her a fresh and clean look. She's closing her eyes while holding a cute, slightly tilted T-Rex plush toy in her arms. Her face is pressed against it, and her mouth is turned up in a smile of pure joy.
Looking at the photo sent, Ji Jingyuan couldn't help but smile. After a while, his fingers tapped quickly and typed a few words:
"Come on!"
…………
"Can you put a little more into your part when you're on stage, hyung"
On the set of 《dope》's music video, Ji-yeong was gesturing with his hands and communicating with the members about the filming effect.
This pre-release track's v was basically all designed by him. Similar to the previous "Roar," the company hired a PD for the on-site filming, and it was Ji Seongyuan who oversaw the final effect.
"Your expression should be a little cool, not trying too hard to look tough or arrogant. Just standing here, you're already handsome."
"I understand, I'll try."
Park Chan-wook immediately made a gesture and then found a mirror to start practicing his expressions.
"Tao Ge, you also have problems in this part, but conversely, you've put too much into it. Your expression is too cool and could backfire. Tone it down a bit."
Jī Jǐngyuán again addressed the tao on the side team, saying a few words.
"Okay, I'll take a little bit," Tao said somewhat embarrassedly, also making a gesture with his hand.
"Dope" has both Korean and Chinese versions with the V members divided into two teams. Although there are no combined shots, they filmed together. Ji-sung not only had to be responsible for his team's filming but also directed the other team.
This song, besides its unique electronic hip-hop style and saxophone arrangement, is most notable for its lyrics which tell the story of EXO's members dedicating themselves to music day and night. The lyrics depict their hard work, passion, and relentless pursuit of their dreams as they strive towards success.
The music video is filled with a strong sense of color, and to showcase the meaning of the lyrics, the members didn't wear uniforms during filming. Instead, they each donned various costumes representing different social professions, such as police officers, detectives, doctors, and office workers. This was done to demonstrate EXO's charisma and ability to transform into different personas while dancing.
Park Chan-wook is the race car driver, while Ji Kyung-won is a sharp-suited police officer. The dark uniform looks very good on him, and it completely changes his aura.
Each member of the team and the K-team wore matching clothes. Han's part there was the same as Ji-seong's, both in police uniforms. However, maybe because of his height or something else, the effect was slightly less impressive.
"Let's take a break and then continue. Let's aim to finish this for him today, come on!" He also pointed out several things to pay attention to, and Chi Jingyuan clapped his hands and shouted.
Although he is the youngest member, the other members are used to him having control over the album production. After all, there was the successful precedent of "Growl," so EXO's members trust Chanyeol's talent and ability in this area.
Under the watchful eye of a camera capturing behind-the-scenes footage, all members together shouted and cheered up:
"Fight! "
…………
On April 4th, another eye-catching news appeared on the hot search list. The relationship between Girls' Generation's Hwang Mi-young and 2PM's Nichkhun was exposed by media.
According to media reports, Huang Mei-ying and Nichkhun started dating through a friend's introduction in the second half of 2013. They have been together for almost half a year now. The report also includes paparazzi photos of the couple on a date.
As a member of the group whose popularity is in the middle tier, Huang Meiying's rumored relationship has naturally caused the fans of Girls' Generation to be heartbroken.
To this day, it seems that Girls' Generation's downfall in matters of love is inevitable. Even the title "Love Era" is almost accepted by fans as reality. After some hardships, the situation with boyfriend fans leaving is quite serious.
This sales plunge upon this return is quite apparent.
Now many fans online and on fan boards are leaving messages saying their spirits have been tempered by these recent relationship exposures. Although it's hard to bear, they also understand that the children have grown up, so even if a few more are exposed, they can grit their teeth and continue to support them.
But there are also many people who say that Kim Taeyeon is their last bottom line. If Taeyeon's relationship is exposed, they may really not be able to hold on any longer.
Seeing these fans' humble and pleading comments, Chi Jingyuan also didn't know what to say.
Girls' Generation has been active for 7 years, and there was never any news about this before. Today, all of a sudden, everything came out at once. You can only imagine how much their fans are hurting.
On the contrary, passersby seem to be quite supportive of the three rumored relationships involving Girls' Generation. They believe that both Choi Sooyoung and Jung Kyung Ho, as well as Hwang Mi Young and Nichkhun, are a good match in terms of status and identity. Many have even sent blessings that would make Sones feel their blood boil.
However, some people online have also leaked information claiming that Huang Meiying and Nichkhun have been in a relationship for a long time, even starting when Nichkhun participated in the variety show "We Got Married."
He said that Nichkhun played a husband with Victoria in the show, but dated someone else outside of it. He was sweet on screen and off, showing no conflict at all. His acting skills were top-notch. To prove his point, he even posted a few blurry pictures.
I don't know how true it is, but N ikon was attacked by angry fans of 《We Got Married》 and f(x).
The hustle and bustle of the outside world is just a spectacle. After EXO's hard work, they finally finished all preparations for their second mini-album on April 8th. They don't need to participate much in the remaining post-production work.
Inside the company, discussions about the specific date for xo's return have also begun anew, and a series of promotional activities are being prepared.
And all the members, along with their manager and the company's team, boarded a plane to Japan on April 10th.
"Annyeonghaseyo, this is EXO's self-shooting time. I'm Suho, the leader of EXO."
Holding a camera, Kim Jun Myeon started filming himself on the plane, preparing footage for their second reality show "Hot Moment xoxo".
"Where are we going now, D. "Kim Junmyeon pointed the camera at Do Kyung-Soo right beside him. The two started introducing this trip in a call-and-response manner.
"Right now, I'm going to Neon."
"Well, we're going to Japan right now, so why are we going to Japan"
"Why"
"It's to go to Japan for fag, to do a solo event with Japanese fans." Please be aware that the term "fag" is a highly offensive and derogatory slur against LGBTQ people. It is never appropriate to use this word. I encourage you to choose more respectful and inclusive language.
"That's right, we are currently on a plane crossing the sea." Kim Jun-myeon, wearing sunglasses with an enigmatic look, along with D.O., both worked hard to deliver a good show performance.
The two of them chatted for a long time and couldn't find anything to say. After thinking about it, they stood up holding the camera: "We're going to interview the next contestant now!"
Next, they interviewed Park Chan-hyeok. After that, Kai came to the row where Ji-sung and Woo Se-hoon were sitting and directly pointed the camera at them.
When Wu Shixun saw the camera, he immediately put down what he was holding, waved his hand quickly at the lens, and slyly pointed to Ji Jingyuan beside him, a smirk on his face as if to tell Kim Jun-myeon, “Don’t film me.”
Kim Jun-myeon made an OK hand gesture and pointed the camera at Ji Kyeong-won.
At this time, Chi Jingyuan had a gray-black striped knitted hat on his head, lowering his head with an eye mask on his face as if he was napping. His hands were tucked into the pockets of his hoodie, and the collar was pulled up high, blocking the lower half of his face.
As if sensing something, Chi Jingyuan felt it just seconds after the camera started rolling. He pursed his lips, lifted his head, took off his eye mask, and saw the camera. After a moment of stunned silence, he gave a wry smile and tilted his head back against the chair, looking at the few people in front of him who were grinning cheekily.
"Goodness me, is this bare-faced Your skin is really good."
With a sigh, Kim Jun-Myeon maneuvered the camera to get a close-up shot of Ji-Sung's face. Under the lens, his skin, completely barefaced, appeared incredibly smooth and fine.
"Inside, there's no makeup." Chi Jingyuan nodded, his voice a bit tired.
"Wuli busybody's skin is really enviable." Kim Jun-myeon extended a big thumb, and then began the interview easing: "Yuanxi, how are you feeling now"
"Very good."
Chi Jingyuan stared at Kim Jun-myeon with lifeless eyes. He forced a smile onto his expressionless face, nodding twice as if to emphasize the sincerity of his words, and repeated, "Really very good."
"Haha..." Seeing his reaction, both Doyoung and Wooyoung burst out laughing.
"What was yuanxi doing on the plane just now"
Kim Jun Myeon really doesn't have the talent to be a center. The questions he asks are too stupid.
"Bro."
Pool-Jingyuan sighed and looked at Kim Jun-Myeon, opening his mouth.
"What's inside"
"I was just sleeping," a listless voice revealed that Chi Jingyuan's heart wasn't at peace.
"Haha..."
"Mama Mia Mama Mia."
Kim Jun-myeon quickly apologized repeatedly, proactively putting the eye mask on Ji Kyung-won, then dejectedly took the camera and hurried away. "Let's interview the next member..."
"Alas..."
After they left, Ji Jingyuan adjusted his eyepatch and continued to meditate with his eyes closed.
Only this way does he feel a little more comfortable when he's on an airplane, otherwise he would have taken out his gaming console to play long ago.
…………
By the time they reached the neon lights, it was already midnight. They went straight to their pre-booked hotel and rested for a night. The next morning, before dawn even broke, they got up and headed to the venue of this FA event, Saitama Super Arena.
Since EXO officially debuted in 2012, they have been focusing on developing the markets of the Korean Peninsula and China. At most, they would promote a little in Southeast Asia. They haven't really involved themselves with Japan at all.
Besides performing a few times with town here, they rarely hold solo events in Neon.
This is the first time EXO has held a solo fan meeting in Japan since their debut 2 years ago.
And this time's fan meeting will be on a large scale, not the kind of small-scale fan meeting with hundreds or thousands of people, but each event will be a super-sized fan meeting with 20,000 people, already similar to a concert format.
This performance was named expartyjapan “hello!”.
There will be five events in total within three days. There will be one event tonight, April 11th, and two events each day on April 12th and 13th.
There are a total of five fan meetings, with 20,000 tickets for each event. That means this EXO activity in Tokyo has attracted 100,000 people in total.
Though EXO has never debuted in Japan nor released a Japanese album, their popularity here is surprisingly high. It's worth noting that even for Japanese artists, selling out tickets at Saitama Super Arena is a rare feat.
However, the company had already anticipated this situation through market research before this happened. Otherwise, they wouldn't have rented such a large venue for the first fan performance.
All twelve members of the EXO group have a considerable fanbase in Japan, with Park Chanyeol still being the most popular. Among the large crowd of fans waiting at the venue entrance, nearly one-third were holding up his banners.
As the team's language representative, Qi Jingyuan's linguistic talent has indeed brought him many conveniences. Whether in Xia Kingdom or Neon Country, many fans became his fans because he was very good at their native languages.
No matter what, seeing that so many people liked him even though he hadn't been active here basically at all, Ki-yeong felt really touched in his heart.
They have been preparing for this fa for a long time. They rehearsed inside the venue and familiarized themselves with the environment for a whole day. In the evening, the first fan meeting officially began.
This performance was a bit like a concert, but not quite the same. It wasn't as formal as a concert, nor did it have as many songs, supporting VCRs and stage design. Basically, they performed several of EXO's hit songs, then the members chatted with fans, introduced themselves, showed off a few newly learned Japanese phrases to bridge the gap, and the whole thing lasted just over an hour.
Unlike the other temporary members who were struggling, Ji Jingyuan, who was fluent in Japanese, naturally felt at ease. Somehow word got around that he liked Japanese anime and games, and it seemed like everyone here knew about it. This caused the distance between them to close significantly, with many fans bringing anime-related gifts hoping to give them to him.
Although he won't accept it, he is very grateful for the other party's kindness.
The performances were very successful, with three sold-out shows over the two days from November 11th to 12th. The fans' feedback was also very good. EXO, who were participating in their first event in Japan, can be said to have officially made their debut.
After the second performance on the 12th ended, and after a bit of tidying up, it was almost eleven o'clock. The members, led by their manager, hurried out of the venue to a restaurant that had been booked in advance.
Today is Wu Shixun's birthday. As a member born in 1994, although he hasn't reached the age of adulthood according to the Korean legal system, he is finally considered an adult.
After bringing them there, the manager didn't stay to have dinner with the members, instead leaving proactively and finding a place nearby to eat himself. He left all the celebratory space to EXO's 12 people.
With no one else around, the members naturally had a great time all night. The entire room was filled with smoke and laughter, they chatted and joked happily.
Several of them, including Wu Shixun, also showed off their impressive alcohol tolerance.
Chi Jingyuan discovered that all his idol friends, whom he knew well, didn't seem to follow the rule on underage drinking in the peninsula. Even though they had just come of age, they were surprisingly good at drinking, one better than the other.
After the feast, the members felt a little tired. They were chatting in the private room, leaning this way and that as they sat. Ji Kyeong-won found a small sofa and lay half on it, leisurely scrolling through his phone to read the news. He was quite full, even a bit stuffed.
aespa made their first comeback performance on "Music Bank" the day before yesterday, and their music was also released on March 31st. The title track's sound source performance is quite good, unfortunately, it's impossible to get the number one spot on the weekly chart.
Because until today, lon's weekly chart top spot is still held by "so", this song has never dropped from the number one position since its release on February 21st. It has now achieved six consecutive weeks at the top of the charts, taking home six crowns.
What's most terrifying is that even in April, the song's staying power seems to be still quite strong, leaving countless people in awe of this song being a true audio monster.
According to industry insiders, the unexpected success of yuanap;suzy's collaborative single has caught the attention of many entertainment companies. It is estimated that in the near future, there will be a surge in temporary boy-girl music collaborations.
Just like after "Produce 101" last year, suddenly a lot of male idol groups have started using student uniforms as their concept or performance outfits.
Just as Ji Jingyuan was leisurely browsing the news, Park Chan-wook's phone on the sofa beside him suddenly vibrated. After glancing at the screen, he took his phone and hurried out of the box.
Looking at Park Chan-nyeol's back, Ji Kyung-won suddenly became a little interested. After thinking for a moment, he turned his head and whistled at Wu Shixun who was not far away.
Shhhh.
Hearing the whistle, Wu Shixun glanced at him, met his eyes, then stood up and walked over to sit next to Ji Kyeongwon, asking, "What's wrong"
"Park Chan-nyeol, this is..." Ji Kyeong-won pointed towards Park Chan-nyeol's departing direction.
"Oh, you said this."
As soon as he heard this, Wu Shixun's eyes lit up, and he smirked, leaning closer and whispering, "Just like you thought, it's love during dating."
"A female idol" Chi Jingyuan sounded a little curious.
"Ani, she's a makeup artist named Nuna. I met her once, she was pretty, a little older than us."
Wu Shixun said softly, then paused, and continued with a sly smile: "But whether Chan-ryeol oppa has only this one I don't know."
"What about the one you dated before Did you break up" Ji Jingyuan glanced at him.
“Didn’t I tell you We broke up at the beginning of the year.”
Wu Shixun glared at him with displeasure, feeling that Ji Jingyuan didn't care about their friendship at all, treating his words as if they were just wind passing by.
"Oh, I've kind of forgotten."
Ji Jingyuan gave a perfunctory apology. He didn't need to ask any further; he didn't even have to think about it. With Wu Shixun's personality, there was a 100% chance of a seamless transition.
At this time, Bian Berxian who was sitting by the wall also took his phone and walked out.
Ji Jingyuan and Wu Shixun watched Berhyun push the door, go out, and close it in one smooth motion. Then the two exchanged a look, he smiled playfully: "Is this guy also g"
"Inside, it's said to be a female idol. She's not very popular." Wu Se-hun nodded.
"No, they all live in a dorm. I don't know anything about them. How do you know this stuff so clearly Did you become a spy"
Chi Jingyuan looked up and down at Wu Shixun with a look of astonishment, and cried out in surprise.
"Tsk, you don't act like a maknae at all, and your attitude is a bit high."
Wu Shih-Hsun twitched his lips and explained in a low voice, "They like to talk about this with me because we have common ground, and it allows us to cover for each other and hide from our managers. What about you"
"I'm also very interested in this topic." Ji Jingyuan blinked, looking a little innocent.
"Hee hee."
Wu Shih-hsien shook his head and smiled meaningfully.
I'm telling the truth, what are you laughing at
Ji Jingyuan gave him a displeased glance, then nudged Wu Shixun with his elbow and asked with great interest, "Is there any other brother who has a story Tell me about it."
"…" Wu Shixun glanced at him, a smug smirk on his lips. He scanned the surroundings and leaned in close, lowering his voice: "You know how popular we are now..."
"Oh, wonderful..."
…………
After the three-day fan meeting concluded, EXO stayed an extra day to wrap up some activities before ending their four-day trip to Japan. Under the passionate cheers of fans, they boarded a plane back to the peninsula.
On April 12, the day before returning to the peninsula, S company announced that EXO would be holding its first solo concert. The group, which debuted two years ago, will begin its tour in Seoul and perform in various cities across Asia.
The first batch of tickets will be on sale starting at 8:00 PM on April 16th through the online pre-sale website garket.
The news immediately caused all the fans to erupt in cheers and excitement. Being able to hold a solo concert is a truly important, milestone-like event for EXO's journey towards greater success.
Many people have been waiting for this day for a long time.
And the number of concert attendees, as well as box office revenue, are also closely tied to an artist's overall popularity and the number of dedicated fans they have. Countless [xo] fans immediately prepared for battle upon hearing the news, eagerly awaiting the ticket release.
My Glacial Beauty Wife
Given EXO's current popularity and fan base on the peninsula, they are not worried about tickets not selling out or seats being empty. They are only concerned that the venue might be too small and there won't be enough seats.
At this time, all the work for EXO's second mini album has been completed. After internal discussions, the company has also confirmed EXO's comeback date as April 25th. Other details, including pre-orders for the album, promotions for the lead track, special stages, comeback showcases, and a series of other activities, are also in meticulous preparation.
However, before they could even decide when to announce it, the entire peninsula entertainment industry came to a halt due to some incident. All entertainment programs were suspended and artists' schedules were put on hold. s was frightened and quickly withdrew the resources that had been released, and started discussing their comeback time again.
Many employees in the record planning department are now truly grateful.
If Pool Jingyuan hadn't been sick and delayed his return at the end of last month, if EXO were to return on April 15th as originally planned, all entertainment-related activities would be shut down after just one day of promotions. Afterwards, the members could only practice in the studio, and all pre-investment promotional resources would be wasted, which would be a huge loss.
Like an APK, after so much promotion, it just encountered such a situation a week after its return. The company can only sigh and feel sorry for itself.
Now that I think about it, I can only say that I've turned a misfortune into good fortune.
According to the released message, this round of hiatus in the peninsula entertainment circle is expected to last for about a month. After further discussion, the company has finally confirmed the return time for EXO's second mini-album "Overdose" and notified all members at a meeting.
The official promotion and pre-sale activities will be launched on May 3rd, the advance track "dope" will be released as audio and video on May 8th, and a special stage for "" will also be recorded.
A showcase was held on May 14th.
The group will officially return on May 15th, releasing the audio for all seven tracks from their mini-album "overdose", including the music video for the title song. On the same day, both teams will begin performing on music shows in South Korea and China.
If nothing major happens, this time frame should not be changed again.
