"Thanks for your hard work……"
"Then let's take our leave first."
After Ji Kyung Won and the members, the staff and host Yoo In Na smiled and said goodbye, they left the studio with their manager.
Today is March 5th... It's past twelve o'clock and it's already the 6th. They have just finished recording the KBS radio program "Yoo In Na's Voluup". Today, the last schedule for the 5th is finally settled. They have been busy all day. EXO and the others can finally take a breather.
The manager and assistant strode forward at the front, while the members of XO, each holding a drink and a backpack, followed swaying behind. The elevator was a little too big to fit in. The manager and the others went down first, waiting for the next one at EXO with nothing to do. When he was in the department, Kim Jong-in threw his backpack back casually, and couldn't help but smacked his lips when he thought of the recording scene just now: "Speaking of which, Yoo In-na sunbaenim really has a great figure. Did you notice just now..."
"We are all our own people, so you don't have to pretend to be so polite, right?"
Park Chanyeol breathed a sigh of relief and glanced around. No one else was present except EXO, and he said sleepily.
Jin Zhongren also looked around, shook his head and laughed.
"The figure is indeed quite good. It's really impressive that she can maintain such good health at this age." Wu Shixun nodded and analyzed a few words like an experienced person, and then asked curiously: "By the way, Yoo In Na xi Have you and Ji Xianyu broken up?"
"We must have broken up a long time ago. I remember that Ji Xianyu enlisted in the army two days after announcing our relationship. Then more than a year later, and just two days after being discharged, we announced our breakup..." Park Chanyeol seemed to have paid special attention to it. He skillfully told the story of their relationship, and added at the end: "I don't know what the point of making it public is. It feels like it's just to create buzz before enlisting in the army."
Chi Jingyuan nodded in agreement. He and Park Chanyeol had similar ideas.
Speaking of which, I feel quite similar to YoonA-senpai and the others. At the beginning of last year, as soon as their relationship was exposed, I heard that Lee Seung-gi was going to enlist in the military. At that time, some people speculated that it was a hype. As a result, it has been a year and there is still no confirmation.
Isn't it hype?
The elevator opened, and the six people walked in together and pressed the button for the first floor.
Unless it's a relatively important radio station, EXO usually won't come together in large groups for this kind of trip. Today, only 6 people came.
"Maybe they started dating a long time ago, but it just happened to be public at that time... Then isn't Yoo In Na xi in the window period now?" Kim Jong In raised his eyebrows with a lively expression, and he seemed to be quite interested in talking. It was different from just now The way he sat for hours without saying a word during the radio recording was in stark contrast, and his sullen nature was clearly visible.
"Are you really interested? Have you stopped talking to that ambiguous girl before?"
"Which one are you talking about...I'm just asking."
"No, the age difference is a bit big, right?"
Speaking of the topic of female artists, it was a female artist who had just finished working together. The desire to chat among several people suddenly came up. Because it was so late, the sleepiness seemed to be driven away a lot, and the elevator quickly became lively. .
"Who knows, if I come to see her, I don't think she looks like someone who has been idle for a long time... Do you need me to find someone I know to contact you?" Park Chanyeol touched his chin and relied on his own experience. After analyzing it, but before Kim Jong-in could reply, he quickly raised his head, looked at the other person and waved his hand: "But I don't think there is much to do. The actresses in the industry have very pretty eyes, and they are rarely found even if they are dating. For idol singers, the two circles are different."
"Actor? Then let Jingyuan give it a try. It will definitely be no problem for the young actor representatives of the Uli Peninsula to show up. And didn't you hear that Yoo In Na has a very good relationship with IU? You can also get to know IU by the way."
"Does Jingyuan need to know IU through someone else? I guess he already has IU's contact information."
The elevator reached the first floor with a "ding" sound. EXO walked out of the elevator chatting happily. Wu Shixun smiled and curled his lips when he heard this, knowing Chi Jingyuan very well: "
But I remember that he didn’t like people who were much older than him. When we debuted and we were not popular yet, Rainbo’s captain was rejected for this reason. "
"When you said that, I remembered that Kim Jae-kyung from "Idol Games" came here specifically to strike up a conversation... It turns out that Jingyuan likes younger girls."
Park Chanyeol nodded in sudden realization, but soon looked at Chi Jingyuan who was walking in front in surprise: "Then what about him and Bae Zhuhyun..."
Chi Jingyuan, who was enjoying listening to the gossip nearby, found that he had become the center of the topic for no apparent reason. He glanced at the gossips helplessly, and instinctively quickened his pace and walked out of the door of KBS first.
Why is your mouth so broken?
As soon as they walked out of the door, they felt a gust of cold wind. Being separated from the warm indoor air-conditioning made several members of EXO uncomfortable and quickly tightened their collars. Chi Jingyuan immediately put on the hood of his sweatshirt.
Although the temperature during the day has increased a lot in March, the temperature at night is still a bit bitingly chilly.
It was already past two o'clock in the morning, but the KBS building was still bright and colorful, and there were many staff coming in and out outside. It didn't look like it was almost late at night.
The EXO group walked a few steps towards the parking lot outside. Chi Jingyuan glanced at it casually, and suddenly found that there were more than a dozen girls standing on the roadside outside the KBS gate, and there was also someone familiar to him next to them. EXO support banner. After being stunned for a moment, he curiously turned back to the members and asked: "Are those our fans?"
Several people also looked over. Jin Junmian confirmed it and nodded: "It should be so. I also saw the EXO logo."
"Then what are they doing here so late? They're not squatting on us, are they?"
The hat of the sweater was a little too big, and the brim of the hat hung down to the eyelashes. Chi Jingyuan raised his head slightly and looked at the girl over there, blinking and feeling a little surprised.
It's past two o'clock in the morning, and many shops in Seoul have already closed. The streets have been empty for a long time, with few cars passing by. This means that TV stations related to the entertainment industry such as KBS can appear lively.
"No, our radio broadcast this time is pre-recorded. There is no announcement on the official website. Fans probably don't know about this schedule... I guess they are either fans waiting for our "Music Bank" to go to work tomorrow morning, or they are selected Come in and watch our pre-recorded meal on stage.”
"Does it need to be so early? I thought we could just line up to enter the venue at five or six o'clock..." Chi Jingyuan's eyes looking in that direction couldn't help but be filled with a complex light after hearing this.
Under the dim street lights, a dozen girls gathered on the roadside. Some were sitting on the shoulder of the road holding their mobile phones and looking at something unknown. Some were gathered together in twos and threes, holding support items in their arms and chatting quietly. It was a cold day, and it seemed that it was a bit cold sitting there because the temperature was relatively low. He stood nearby and kept tapping his feet on the ground to move his body. The muffled sounds were very obvious in the dark night.
A burst of dense light shone from the brightly lit KBS building, which mixed with the dim street lights and shone on their faces. However, under the light, the faces of these fans looked so hazy that even their facial features could not be seen. Too clear.
Chi Jingyuan looked at the time, it was 2:30 in the morning on March 6th.
When everyone else was already asleep, fans were already gathering at the entrance of KBS, waiting for EXO's way to work and stage pre-recording tomorrow morning.
"..."
Hearing what Jin Junmyeon said, several members of EXO couldn't help but look over there for a while. The intense conversation just now disappeared for some reason. The whole team was a little silent. After watching for a while, they didn't know. Someone sighed softly and said, "Let's go." The six of them walked straight to the parking lot without attracting the attention of the dozen or so fans over there.
The nanny car started quickly and drove out of the parking lot, speeding past on the empty and deserted road, leaving only the roar of the engine.
…
Early the next morning, EXO, who had not slept for a few hours after returning home at midnight last night, was called out by his manager.
, after being physically awakened by the manager, I washed my face, chose clothes, and then went to the beauty salon in a daze to start styling.
EXO, which has long since left the rookie stage and has become a popular group, no longer has to queue up early in the morning and compete with people for styling like they did when they first debuted. Now they usually go to the lounge backstage from dynasty to singing shows. Do it slowly.
However, today is their first recording of "Music Bank" after their comeback. The company expected that there will be many fans waiting at the door for them to go to work. Instead of wearing masks and hats to protect their bare face, it is better to prepare their looks in advance. Going and saying hello to the fans is a kind of feedback.
"Music Bank" is one of the singing programs of the three major channels. As long as idols return, they will definitely participate, so KBS's commute to work is very famous in the fan circle.
The road to work is a unique part of "Music Bank". It is located at the entrance of the KBS building. To put it bluntly, it is a small courtyard. Fans are separated by fences and telescopic doors. idols get off the car in the parking lot and walk from the courtyard gate to the building. This section of the road is the way to work.
This also gives fans who want to see their idols the best chance to see their idols return to participate in "Music Bank". As long as they go there early and stay there, they will definitely be able to see their idols go to work.
Because you can take photos of idols at close range without restraint and even have the opportunity to chat, this has made the KBS entrance a holy place for countless fans and tourists to stop by idols and check in.
However, if you want to see idols not only on KBS, you can also do it in "Muntdon". Although there is no way to work in "Muntdon", fans can enter the first floor of the studio to wait, and sometimes the recorded idols will be purchased. If you want to go to the bathroom, you can go up and touch a fan if you squat down. If you are brave enough, you can follow him directly to the bathroom.
It's just that a popular group like EXO won't announce when they will go to the TV station to record. They may come at noon, or they may come early in the morning or even before dawn, so if they want to stay in place, they have to go far in advance. You won't miss it.
For example, the dozen or so fans who came to the door early in the morning last night really shocked Chi Jingyuan.
Even though he didn't even see the other person's face and didn't know his name, it still left a deep impression on him.
"XO is coming, XO is coming..."
"ah!!!"
After getting off the bus and walking only two steps, Chi Jingyuan heard a piercing cry, followed by a torrent of countless noisy screams and discussions, a little further away. I couldn't quite hear what they were shouting.
Countless fans were already waiting on both sides of the road ahead. They gathered there and the dense sea of people looked quite spectacular. The KBS staff wearing yellow work clothes next to them were working hard to maintain order.
As soon as EXO showed up, I heard the sound of a shutter being pressed. Many of the fans present were holding extremely professional SLR cameras equipped with cannon lenses and tripods. The second one was holding ordinary cameras, and the third one was holding It’s simply a mobile phone. The countless shooting equipment looks as powerful as holding a weapon.
Those standing in the front row can still aim and adjust the focus, while those in the back row who have not been able to grab a position can only raise their hands high and press the shutter to capture whatever they want.
However, there are also more professional people in the back row. They may have prepared folding benches or some kind of folding ladder in advance. They stand very high and conspicuously, holding their cameras condescendingly and taking pictures quickly.
"..."
The nine members of EXO lined up and walked quickly towards the KBS gate. As they walked, they smiled brightly and kept greeting the fans who were shouting around them. The idols performed their work very well.
"Yuan! Yuan, look this way, look this way!"
Chi Jingyuan also smiled and kept waving to the fans next to him. Hearing a scream and a bit familiar, he looked over and saw a familiar female fan holding a high-end camera. Still standing
The tripod was shooting at him non-stop, and he didn't know how long he had arrived in advance to get such a good position.
Chi Jingyuan recognized that it was probably a sister from one of his fan sites. He often met her at events and was considered a familiar face. He smiled brightly and made a scissor hand gesture to the camera. When he saw the response, the other party was very satisfied and immediately went crazy. Press the shutter.
To be honest, Chi Jingyuan no longer complained about being called out by his manager early in the morning. On the contrary, he was quite lucky. If he hadn't gotten up early to go to the beauty salon for styling, the members would have disguised themselves and covered themselves up. Shi Shi came to work and hurriedly passed through the crowd.
In this case, I always feel a little sorry for Ai Li who came so early to stay so early and was so enthusiastic.
But it’s probably the first time since they returned to work on “Music Bank” that they can’t always get up early in the morning and go get their looks done before coming.
After letting the other party take a few pictures, he quickly followed the XO team in front, and at the same time glanced around with searching eyes, as if expecting to see the fans who came to wait in the early morning last night, although there were no yesterday He couldn't see the face clearly, but he felt that if there was a gaze, he would be able to feel it.
It's a pity that there were so many people that I couldn't find it even after walking through the door.
The entrance of KBS was already surrounded by fans. The retractable door only opened a small opening for the idols to enter. With the help of the staff and assistants, EXO struggled to squeeze in through the crowd.
There are two agreed-upon photo spots in the yard. Generally, most idols will stand at the two spots one after another to facilitate fans to take photos and at the same time increase some exposure.
But EXO is used to standing at only one point...
"1, 2, 3, eareone, Anihasay, we are EXO."
However, after entering the gate, EXO stood in a row, made a thumbs-up sign, shouted out their iconic slogans, and saluted the fans and reporters. Then, crazy flashes of light came towards their faces continuously, directly knocking out the nine people. His face was all reflected in bright white.
Even Chi Jingyuan, who had been specially trained, couldn't bear it. Although his smile remained unchanged, his eyes narrowed slightly because it was too dazzling.
"Look this way!"
After turning in several directions to allow fans in different places to take photos, the short shooting time ended quickly. After EXO saluted and said goodbye to the fans again, they strode into the KBS building. This time, the comeback song "Music Bank" was just a short walk to work. Perfect ending.
After them, after the next boy group appeared, the whole scene suddenly became much deserted. The shouts and screams disappeared immediately. Many people just looked at the boy group curiously but there were not many people. Enthusiasm, except for some die-hard fans, even reporters felt a little perfunctory during the photo session.
This hugely different treatment also made many passers-by and fans who witnessed it sigh inwardly. They are both men's groups, but the gap is so different that it is difficult to measure.
"Hey Yigu, how did we choose this time to come back? We happened to bump into you XO."
"It would be so shameless if Brother Rang didn't have any of them."
Eunhyuk hugged Kim Junmyun in the EXO lounge and yelled, and even patted the sofa several times, looking very regretful.
Super Junior unit D&a;E, composed of Eunhyuk and Donghae, will officially return on March 9th. Today, they will record their first stage on "Music Bank". Just now, EXO, as juniors, selected Kim Junmyun and Park Chanyeol to take the initiative. Their lounge visit didn't go so well that the two brothers felt that they were a little bored. After finishing their styling, they went directly back to EXO's lounge, where they sat on the sofa and chatted without being treated as outsiders.
After a while, maybe after getting the news, FX's solo member Aer also ran over and started making trouble together. All the SM artists participating in this issue of "Music Bank" gathered together, and the entire lounge became very tense for a while. lively.
Thanks to EXO’s popularity and the large number of members, the program components
The lounge is very big, otherwise there really wouldn't be room for so many people.
"Jinjia, if we use XO's popularity and momentum right now, even if our team comes back and hits them hard, they probably won't be able to get even one of them, let alone the two of us, don't even think about it..."
Li Donghai seemed a little uninterested, leaning on the sofa and sighing.
"Isn't it my fault that you chose this time to return?"
"Did I choose it? Essie, don't talk nonsense. It was obviously arranged by the company... No, you chose it!"
These two older generation boy band members wanted to start a fight in front of their juniors. They pointed at each other and kept blaming each other while shirking their responsibilities. Chi Jingyuan couldn't help laughing.
SJ has been debuting for so many years now, and they don't feel that they value performance so much. In comparison, they may value face more.
But having said that, it is actually not a very shameful thing to come back and compete with EXO, resulting in not being able to get the first place in the singing competition.
What they said is actually not too exaggerated. They can all see the momentum of EXO's comeback. If they collide head-on, no one can take away the singing position from them, unless they wait to see if they can after XO graduates from the Triple Crown. Grab one or two for comfort.
"Alas..." Aer next to her also sighed at the right time. Her solo performance this time was really mediocre and could be called a failure. She released the album on February 16th and has not had a single one yet. She was originally thinking about whether she could do it. After two or three weeks of accumulation, she tried to save face one by one. As a result, EXO was scheduled to return in March, and she completely gave up on this idea.
The group is now in such a state of limbo that the members of the team are beginning to consider their personal career development. The solo that they finally waited for turned out to be such a great result. Actually, Aer was not in a very good mood during this period.
Feeling that the air pressure was a little low, Chi Jingyuan glanced over there out of the corner of his eye, but in his heart he thought of Cui Shirley, his relative from the same year.
I haven’t had much contact in the past two days, and I don’t know what she is busy with now when there are no group activities at FX.
A group of SM artists gathered together to chat for a while. After the set was set up, EXO was called out by the staff to start pre-recording the stage.
In the second week, the only stage for the song "All Baby" was used during the song performance. It was still a carefully designed camera language and a fake one-shot approach throughout the whole process.
After the stage pre-recording was completed, I went to record an interview with "one of the alternates" today, and then sat in the lounge waiting for the live broadcast to start in the evening.
…
"In the first week of March 2015, "Music Bank" will be aired. Who will be the first among EXO and VIXX? Please disclose the scores!"
At this time, MCs Park Seo-joon and Yoon Bo-ra were standing in the center of the stage and talking about hosting. Today's two candidates, EXO and VIXX, were standing on either side of the MC, looking at the monitor in front of them.
Chi Jingyuan looked quite relaxed and had time to look around. Several members of EXO were obviously a little worried about whether they would be able to get their first DaDa song after their comeback today, while VIXX was even more nervous. , staring at the monitor without blinking.
"Sound source score: 3327 vs. 1621."
"Audience favorability: 598 to 0."
"Broadcast score: 265 vs. 1390."
"Record score: 8491 vs. 4342."
"Total score..."
"EXO12681 versus VIXX7353."
"The one who is honored today is EXO, Camida!"
