The two girl groups that came back together for interviews also have one very conspicuous thing in common, that is, both groups today have an extremely conspicuous member with red hair.
The one from Girls' Generation is Sunny, while the one from Girl's Day is Kim Ah Young. The former's hair is bright red, a bit brighter, while the latter's hair is burgundy, slightly darker.
If we look at it from Chi Jingyuan's point of view, he doesn't want to say much about Sunny's makeup look, but Jin Yarong's look is okay. At least the sides of her long hair are not touching the scalp, and it's actually quite sexy given her figure.
Finally, the interview ended after each performed a part of their new song. The scene was cut to the stage by the director. A group of people in the waiting room breathed a sigh of relief after the camera lights dimmed.
Although they were all acquaintances and there was no time to exchange pleasantries, Chi Jingyuan, the two MCs and the two girl groups said goodbye to each other and left.
Next up on the stage was MAMAMOO, a four-member girl group that debuted slightly earlier than Red Velve last year and could barely be considered the same period. Their previous development can only be said to be half of that. Although their debut album was good, the response was not huge.
From before their debut until now, most people's evaluation of this group has been average. Especially in terms of appearance, they have been looked down upon by many people and have been rated as 'not the looks of idols at all'
The company is not a big company, and there are rumors in the industry that this comeback happens to be the first anniversary of MAMAMOO's debut. If this comeback fails, the agency will go bankrupt, so this may be their last album.
But last month they released their second mini-album "Pink Funky". Although the title song "Um Oh Ah Yeh" has not won any hit song so far, its results in other aspects are very good. Although Melon It's half-performing, but it performs very well in several other music charts.
This has attracted the attention of many people, and the group's reputation has also risen rapidly during this period. The number of fan club members has increased by a thousand every day. Among the four generations of girl groups that have debuted in the past two years, except for Red Velvet , the second new girl group to have a certain splash and their own name.
On the Korean Internet these days, many people are talking about the first round of this summer’s women’s team battle, and the winner is MAMAMOO.
This victory does not mean winning on the rankings, because both sistar and AOA are ranked ahead of them, but it means that this group has gained the most benefits, the greatest profits, and the fastest rise in popularity from this comeback.
It seems that in the competition among the new girl groups that have debuted in the past two years, Bae Zhuhyun and the others will have multiple opponents.
Chi Jingyuan glanced at the young lady beside him who was watching the stage performance and thought to himself.
"ring ring ring ring my bell."
"Dizziness, heart pounding."
"..."
"we cant stop stop stop it's party time."
"Just like that, the carnival moment continues."
At the entrance of the backstage, Chi Jingyuan watched all today's performances with appreciative eyes, especially the highlight, the first stage of the respective title songs of Girls' Generation and Girls' Day.
Although they are both members of the SM family, to be honest from his point of view, he actually prefers Girls' Day's "Ring My Bell" in comparison.
"Party" feels a little too sweet. Although it is a refreshing summer breeze, it still sounds a bit greasy, especially the '..y! "Part, the cute choreography with two hands on both sides of the shaking head like bunny ears is a bit too boring and doesn't feel very age-appropriate.
It might be cuter if I use red velvet instead.
Starting with Chi Kyung Won and Bae Zhu Hyun, all the participating guests walked onto the stage from the backstage. While he was thinking to himself, he couldn't help but glance at the SNSD seniors who had just finished performing on the stage.
"In the second week of July on "Music Bank", EXO, and EXO...who is ranked first, uh,...which song will be ranked first?"
Standing at the front of the stage, when the camera came over, Bae Zhuhyun began to speak crisply about the hosting speech, but it felt a little inappropriate halfway through, so she quickly changed her words.
The place where one of the alternates usually stood on both sides of the MC was empty, and the other idols were standing in the row behind.
Especially the Sistar people had smiles on their faces, but they actually felt a little helpless in their hearts.
They are strong competitors in several other singing programs. In the past few days, they have won four first places in competition with AOA and Big Bang. Unfortunately, they are only in "Music Bank" and "Music Center". In a program without a graduation mechanism, it is still overshadowed by "Boy with Luv", which has been released for more than a month. It is clear that the music performance is not good, but it always feels like something is missing.
SNSD and Girls Day are back this week, and it’s going to be even harder.
"...Based on the final total score, today's winner is...EXO's "Boy with Luv", thick Camida!"
Pei Zhuxuan grinned brightly, clapped twice and handed the trophy to Chi Jingyuan. After receiving the trophy, Chi Jingyuan watched for a while and began to give his acceptance speech.
Although he is the MC today, the EXO group did not come to play songs today, so there is still no encore stage. After saying a word of thanks, today's "Music Bank" ended here. After saying goodbye to the audience, everyone The artists returned to the backstage, and there were a long line of people standing on both sides of the corridor at the backstage exit, talking quietly while waiting to thank all the staff of the program team.
Chi Jingyuan and Bae Zhuhyun were the last ones to enter as MC. When he walked in and stood at the edge of the entrance, the four closest ones happened to be the four members of Girls' Day. After seeing Chi Jingyuan, several people immediately laughed and picked. The eyebrows look very familiar.
It is indeed quite familiar.
Before EXO became popular, they had known each other since they participated in the "Idol Games" the year before last. Not only Ji Jingyuan, but also several members of XO were very familiar with girls, not to mention that he had been dating Jin Yarong before. After a while, we openly went on several dates together.
Although we haven't had much contact in the past year, we already knew how we get along and our personalities, so it didn't affect our relationship.
"Dafa, I actually saw a real person! Is it XO's Yuan who appears in front of me?"
Li Huili was the most lively. After seeing Chi Jingyuan glance at him and raise an eyebrow, he directly put his hands on his heart and made an expression of extreme surprise. Then he frowned and gasped as if his heart couldn't bear the excitement.
"Hahaha……"
Several people nearby laughed together. Chi Jingyuan tilted his head and watched her performance. Not to mention, her acting skills were pretty good.
After admiring the acting skills for a while, he laughed: "Didn't we meet several times just now? Why are you fainting now?"
"The closest one right now...haha." Li Huili shook her head and said something cute, and then she couldn't help but laugh too.
Indeed, Shao Shi was always there when they met just now. The two groups didn't have much communication due to competition, so they just said hello to Chi Jingyuan.
Pei Zhuxuan looked a little surprised. She didn't know that Chi Jingyuan was so familiar with several people from Girl's Day. She laughed in agreement, blinked, nodded and stood aside without interrupting.
"Tsk, tsk, I didn't show up and I didn't play songs, but I still managed to get one. It's really enviable." Jin Yarong lifted his dark red hair and raised the first trophy in Chi Jingyuan's hand. His tone sounded a bit... Envy: "What's the number?"
What swayed with his hair was the burst of fragrance that hit his face. Chi Jingyuan glanced at the smiling Pei Zhuxuan next to him, leaned against the wall of the corridor next to him, raised his head and recalled it, spread his hands and said: "This...I I forgot about it, I really didn’t think about it.”
"Hey, listen to this tone, it's different when it becomes popular."
Jin Yarong curled her lips angrily after hearing such rude words, and then she seemed to notice Chi Jingyuan's little move just now, and she couldn't help but glance at Pei Zhuxuan, and took in the white and red face.
But Pei Zhuxuan didn't seem to feel it. She made the same move as Chi Jingyuan, leaning against the wall on the other side, holding a microphone with both hands, pursed her lips and smiled, looking down.
"Forget it..." But Jin Yarong didn't look much. He turned to look at Chi Jingyuan, raised his chin, and there seemed to be some hint in his eyes with shining contact lenses: "Are you free in two days?"
Chi Jingyuan understood what the other party meant, but did not give a reply. Instead, he looked at Jin Yarong speechlessly: "Are you so free when you return... Let's talk about it then."
"Tch~ OK."
As if sensing some rejection, Jin Yarong didn't say much more about it. A few people casually chatted about other things. After waiting for about ten minutes, the staff of "Music Bank" walked in one after another, and then " Thank you for your hard work." The voice sounded continuously.
The staff of "Yin Yin" who walked in, except that they smiled warmly when they saw Ji Jingyuan when they first came in, said hello to him and patted him on the shoulder, were also Bae Zhuhyun, who is also the MC, and These idols from Girls’ Generation, who have a lot of seniority and seniority, can respond with some bright smiles.
When faced with the thanks from other artists, most of these staff just smiled lightly, or even nodded without smiling and quickly passed through, accepting the compliments of others as they should.
In fact, Chi Jingyuan himself has seen it several times. The staff of "Yinyin" cursed and reprimanded some idols and even their managers because of mistakes in the recording stage, but the other party could not retaliate, so they just Can bow and apologize.
It can only be said that under the current system, most idol artists with low popularity, small companies, and low qualifications are still a bit soft-spoken when facing TV stations and program staff.
But there are light ones, and of course there are serious ones, such as the male MC who was stared at with many vague glances.
After all the artists dispersed, Chi Kyung-won and Bae Zhu-hyun went to the office with the program team for a small meeting. After making a brief summary, the two said goodbye to the staff and returned to the backstage together.
"When you guys usually go out to play, where do you go?"
Pei Zhuxuan, who was walking slowly in the corridor and walking side by side, suddenly asked a question, his tone was natural and his voice was crisp.
"ah?"
Suddenly hearing a voice coming from the side, Chi Jingyuan was stunned for a second, but he quickly came to his senses and turned his head to look at this serious man walking ahead, wiggling his little buttocks. But he didn't look at his little sister, feeling somewhat clear in his heart.
Pei Zhuxuan is really attentive. Although she didn't speak much just now, she seemed to be vaguely aware of something in the conversation and attitude of Chi Jingyuan and Jin Yarong.
But this is just a guess. It obviously happened a long time ago and she doesn't know whether it is true or not. At the same time, she is unwilling and will not make irresponsible remarks on Chi Jingyuan's own social relationships.
Just because of those little accusations and speculations, she had been feeling a little bit suppressed in her heart. At this moment, she finally couldn't help it, and she seemingly casually mentioned what they had talked about before.
Seeing her little look, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but smile.
Why is it so cute?
"With whom? If you are with the members, you can have so much fun. You can go to dinners, movies, concerts, etc., and I even went with them to ride a bicycle by the river at night..."
The smile in his heart spread to his face. He blinked and answered the other party's question seriously. He didn't seem to notice anything different:
"If it's the girls' day, there are a lot less places to go. They can just have a meal and sing songs, but I haven't participated in it recently..."
At this point, he paused and looked at Pei Zhuxuan: "Which one do you want?"
"Which one?" She seemed to be asked, and turned to look over in confusion.
Chi Jingyuan's eyes met hers. Looking into his dark eyes, he shook his head as expected: "Let's go out to play. Where do you want to go?"
"you……"
After hearing this, Pei Zhuxun was stunned for a moment, and then her mouth twitched slightly with a strange expression. She seemed to want to laugh, but she held it back. Then she rolled her eyes at Chi Jingyuan with a look of disdain, and replied with a smile in her eyes:
"How can you still be so idle when you are so hot... Let's talk about it then."
After saying that, she hummed softly, walked faster, and deliberately overtook the car in front. But accelerating also naturally speeds up the frequency of the little butt twisting.
Chi Jingyuan tilted his head from behind and looked at the scenery in front, laughed, and chased after him.
…
Chi Jingyuan is already quite familiar with some aspects of Pei Zhuxuan's personality. Especially as the relationship between the two gradually becomes closer, the little sister's little habits and temper that she would never show to others are slowly revealed to him. .
Perhaps because of his age, Bae Zhuhyun is quite mature in many aspects, very careful and good at taking care of others.
When she is with Chi Jingyuan, no matter who she faces, she always looks generous and generous. Even if she may be dissatisfied, angry, or jealous because of some things in her heart, she will basically not let these negative things happen. Emotions are shown in front of others. While taking great care of Chi Jingyuan's face, he also maintains his own style.
Not strong, not timid, always so beautiful.
But in fact, this sister has quite a lot of thoughts and is very sensitive. She also has a strong sense of victory when faced with many things. She is also a little tsundere from time to time, so it is easy to accumulate some emotions.
In the past, she would often hold it in her heart, but now she is used to venting it out in front of Chi Jingyuan.
Or just pretend not to care, point out the problem, and let Chi Jingyuan understand it on his own.
This contrast made Chi Jingyuan very interesting, and this mode of getting along also made him feel very comfortable and relaxed.
Just like this moment, Mingming looked a little dissatisfied when he was on the TV station. When he returned to the dormitory after get off work in the evening, he sent messages and chatted with him. He even took a few photos of his nail polish color and asked him. Which one looks good.
Tsk tsk.
They all look good, okay.
While the two were chatting happily on their mobile phones, SM also made new moves. It has been 11 days since the release of EXO's regular second album "EXO-L", and physical sales have reached 980,000. mark, only one step away from 1 million, under the expectations and appeals of countless fans, and in order to promote sales, a lot of XO related materials this time were finally released on the official account, especially All the behind-the-scenes content during the preparation of the four single albums were edited and released together.
Ariel, who had been looking forward to it for a long time and wanted to know more about what oppas are like at work, was ecstatic. It also attracted people who were curious about EXO because of their amazingly successful comeback and regular second album. and interested fans of other boy bands, as well as a large number of passers-by.
After it was officially uploaded, there was not much publicity, and soon a huge number of clicks came in one after another.
After clicking play, the first scene of the album highlights made many people feel a little surprised, surprised and satisfied.
On the screen, it seems to be in a conference room-like place. Chi Jingyuan has a serious expression and is introducing something to others:
"I think we can use this model this time when we return..."
