"hiss……"
In the weightless state, his knees connected with the stage floor without any reservation, making a muffled sound. The pain that came instantly made Chi Jingyuan grit his teeth and took a slight breath.
"ah!"
Although the dance move itself involves leaning over and squatting, so his condition and mistakes are not obvious, but the large number of fans and viewers who have been staring at him still discovered that something was wrong immediately, and immediately You heard a loud exclamation before, and the voice was obviously full of surprise and worry, so that some viewers who didn't notice, or who were far away and could only watch the big screen, didn't realize what was going on.
Although Chi Jingyuan's knock was painful, it didn't seem to hurt his muscles and bones, so he didn't lose control of his right leg. He reacted immediately after half-kneeling on the ground for less than a second. At this time, Thomas The dance part just ended, and he gritted his teeth and stood up directly and continued to dance to the rhythm of the music.
Byun Baekhyun and Wu Shixun, who were the closest ones standing next to him and noticed him sliding down immediately, were about to stop and help him up. Chi Jingyuan had already stood up before he could do anything. They glanced at him with surprised eyes. He glanced at each other and then quickly moved on to continue the performance.
After finishing his position, Chi Jingyuan danced and felt the place where his right knee hit.
He has fallen down and been injured more than once or twice over the years he has been an idol, and he has gained a lot of experience in this. After moving for a while, he realized that the impact was not light. He should have suffered some injuries, but it was probably an ordinary impact. Contusion, although the weightless knock was quite severe, it probably didn't hurt the bones.
It is common for accidents and mistakes to occur on the stage, such as falling down. Basically, the company will make some explanations for this kind of thing. Generally speaking, as long as there are no big problems, it will still be done. Mainly to complete the performance
Because this is their job.
The stage will only be interrupted unless the injury seriously affects the activities, or there is a serious accident such as dizziness.
But it hasn't reached this point yet. Although it does have some impact on activities, it is still persevering.
Although he continued to perform, the range and intensity of Chi Jingyuan's movements were obviously much smaller. First, because the floor was too slippery and he was a little scared after falling once. Second, his knees really hurt during exercise.
What made him a little helpless was that after the roar, there was a group dance movement where everyone was half-kneeling on the ground. He was still the C position of the entire team and could not hide behind and paddle, so he could only half-squat and put his hands on the ground instead. It was fooled.
And although it hurts, you can't show that it hurts. You have to control your expression well. Even if you can't smile so happily, you can't look sad.
After finally waiting for the stage of the bad song "Roar" to end and enter the short chat and self-introduction session, Chi Jingyuan could finally stand aside and take a rest.
He didn't show any abnormality when he introduced himself. After the introduction, he laughed and joked with the audience below.
Even though it was raining heavily and the thunderous sound of rain covered up the sound of many speakers, it could not cover up the enthusiastic and loud feedback and cheers from the audience. Therefore, even though it was difficult to open their eyes due to the rain, the EXO members were still very excited. Chatted with the fans for a while.
Today EXO has a five-song stage, plus two rounds of chat sessions left open for rest and recovery. There is a total of 20 minutes of performance time, which is almost one-third of the concert time of ordinary idol groups. It's a quarter of the length. No wonder there are so many Allies here today.
Maybe it was to give the members and Ji Kyung-won some rest time. Byun Baekhyun was really talkative. This session lasted nearly three minutes, and he talked alone for more than a minute.
He was able to talk about the duration of a song abruptly, and the atmosphere on and off the stage was still very high, so he was quite capable.
"Roar" is the second song, and there are three more songs on the stage. Then the music for "Call Me Baby" sounds, and the performance continues. Chi Jingyuan takes a deep breath, shakes his right leg slightly and dances along. got up.
Fans who had seen Chi Jingyuan skate before had been a little worried, but seeing that he still completed the stage and couldn't see anything wrong on his expression, they were relieved that nothing was wrong. After all, he skated This kind of thing is quite common, and it's not so unlucky that you really fall into something.
However, some fans who were relatively close and the members around him noticed that Chi Jingyuan's movements were obviously uncoordinated, and they all saw that he was probably injured when he took it just now.
In the heavy rain, the five-song stage was all over, and all EXO took their final bow. Chi Jingyuan, who was bent over, suddenly felt relieved, and he couldn't tell whether it was rain or sweat on his face.
When the lights dimmed and he turned around to leave the stage, his knees hurt so much that he staggered. Baekhyun and Park Chanyeol, who were standing next to them, quickly got excited after seeing this. Several people gathered around him and quickly walked off the stage, returning. Arrived in the backcourt.
"Did Jingyuan hit his knee?"
"Hurry and take a look at what's going on to see if it's serious."
"Wipe the water off your face first."
Just like the other groups, the managers and assistants who had been waiting here swarmed over with towels. Moreover, they had just seen Chi Jingyuan's condition from the exit of the backstage. They had just seen his His movements were a bit worrying. At this time, except for the assistant who was wiping other members, everyone else gathered around.
"I hit my right knee."
Chi Jingyuan shook the water droplets that flowed from his droopy bangs to his face, frowned and nodded. At the same time, he glanced around and found that in addition to SM's assistants, there were many other people in this large lounge. The artists are also paying attention here, and the five people from red velvet are just a few meters away, looking here.
"It must be quite painful. I heard the muffled sound when he knocked." Wu Shixun wiped his head, remembering the sound he just heard, and hissed as if he felt the same.
"The ground...is a little too slippery."
Park Chanyeol also nodded, and at the same time raised his eyes and glanced around.
It is estimated that he originally wanted to curse a few curse words, but considering that there were organizer staff around, he kept his mouth shut.
"It's not convenient here. Jingyuan, let's go to the separate lounge first to check what's going on. Jingyuan, please don't get in after the final chorus... The other members will wipe off the water first and quickly change clothes after it's over."
The manager first gave some instructions, and then took two assistants and helped Chi Jingyuan to a separate lounge not far away. The other members stayed here with towels to wipe the water, and soon there was a guest The thank you ceremony on stage.
When Chi Jingyuan was walking towards the lounge, he happened to pass by a few people from red velvet. Several relatives in his sight had worried expressions on their faces, especially Bae Zhuhyun who passed by.
I feel like this young lady would really like to come up and help me now, but unfortunately there are too many people around.
Chi Jingyuan glanced at her briefly, pursed his lips slightly, and followed the assistant into the separate lounge next to her without saying anything.
After closing the door, he took off his tight trousers. The bruise on his right knee was painful to see.
"The bruise caused by the bump is already bruised. Go get something to apply a cold compress on it."
Li Chenghuan was obviously very experienced. He knew what the situation was at a glance. He explained directly to an assistant next to him. After the assistant walked out, he gently touched the red and swollen area with his hand, frowning and asked worriedly. : "It looks like the knock was serious, but it was probably just an ordinary bruise and no bones were damaged."
"Although it hurts a lot, I guess it doesn't, because it feels the same as the previous contusions. It's just that the forced performance this time hurts a little more."
The touch of Li Chenghuan's fingers made Chi Jingyuan feel itchy and awkward. He thought about his previous bumping experiences, and he didn't seem as worried as the other person.
"Maybe it was just an ordinary collision at the beginning, but the subsequent stage performance will definitely aggravate the injury. I just don't know if the ligament is injured. If it is, it will be troublesome." At this point, the manager raised his head and complained. He looked over and said, "Jingyuan, you should have stopped your performance immediately when you skated here, or you could have come down after "Roar" ended."
"It's not necessary. I don't think it's that serious... I've never had any interruptions when other members of the group fell down before."
"It's different."
"actually……"
Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan laughed softly. He didn't know what he was thinking of, but he shook his head: "It's nothing different."
"..."
Chi Jingyuan's words made Li Chenghuan pause for a moment. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and chuckled. He no longer dwelled on what he just said. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and said, "I'll contact the company. Now Apply a cold compress first... Although it seems to be nothing serious, I will go to the hospital for a checkup later, mainly to see if there is any damage to the ligaments and bones."
Having said this, he added another sentence. "But even if you are not injured, you'd better not do any strenuous activities in the past two days."
Chi Jingyuan nodded and said, "Yes."
After waiting for about twenty minutes, today's impressive Heavy Rain concert finally came to an end. The EXO members came back and communicated with Chi Jingyuan for a few words. After asking about his situation, they left the venue separately. The other members He went to run other trips first, while Chi Jingyuan went to Seoul Samsung Hospital with his agent.
After the CT scan, the director's examination revealed that what Chi Jingyuan had felt before was correct. It was indeed just an ordinary contusion and did not damage the muscles or bones and did not require bed rest.
His feeling is quite accurate, because this kind of injury is often encountered by idols who have to practice dancing most of the time. He has been handsome many times before. And this is not the first time Chi Jingyuan has slipped on the stage, but this time he was unlucky and looked the most serious.
This kind of contusion comes and disappears quickly. However, continuing to perform on stage after the bump may have amplified the injury to a certain extent. The redness, swelling and congestion are relatively serious. Considering that it should not continue to aggravate or even damage the ligament and cause an accident, After returning from the hospital, after a short discussion, SM decided to stop all Chi Jing Yuanming's schedule for the next two days to let his congestion go away quickly.
"Are you okay?"
After returning from the hospital, Chi Kyung-won, who had just arrived at the dormitory, received a text message of greetings from Bae Zhuhyun. At about the same time, there were also text messages from Jiang Seulqi and Sun Seungwan. It seemed that Red Velvet was free at the moment.
After telling several people that it was no big deal, Chi Jingyuan started chatting with Pei Zhuxuan.
"Are you really okay? The way I looked at you backstage just now was so scary."
"It looks really scary. My knee is quite swollen. I need to rest for the next two days."
"Then take a good rest. You have been busy for so long some time ago... But your knees must have hurt after you slipped, right? You still insisted on dancing for three or four songs?"
"This is not a normal thing. What would you do?"
"Yeah...same as you!kkkkkkkk"
"Let's just say, Yuan and Irene are both idols' benchmarks. We... Hey, something feels wrong. My head seems dizzy. I don't think I'm catching a cold..."
…………
Early the next morning, SM issued a brief announcement: EXO member Yuan will suspend activities for two days due to personal health reasons. He will also miss the SMTown Family Concert held at the Osaka Dome on the 25th, but the family concert on the 26th will be held. Attendance is confirmed.
As soon as the news came out, some people were confused about what happened, while others immediately understood.
Because after LOTTE’s heavy rain concert yesterday, many live photos have been posted online by fans. Many of the groups contributed good performances in the rain, except for red velvet’s Bae Joo Hyun and Kang Seulgi, who pointed at each other and sprinkled sweets. In addition to EXO's eye-catching all-pink suit, the famous scene, the video of Ji Kyung-won slipping and half-kneeling on the stage during the performance was also clicked and watched by many people, and some even specially filmed his every move during the performance. It was all edited and made into a video, and the number of clicks is still high.
Through the close-ups taken by fans, you can clearly see the scene where he accidentally slipped on the stage of "Roar", the scene where he frowned slightly and got up quickly, and the scene where he was mixed up by the members and walked backstage during the final curtain call. picture.
Many people felt that something was going on after seeing it at the time.
In fact, many fans in the live audience, when they found out that Chi Jingyuan did not appear when all the guests took the stage yesterday, they started to complain online that Chi Jingyuan was injured, and the press release issued by SM today confirmed this news.
However, seeing that I only had two days of rest, I knew it was nothing serious. In addition to many fans expressing their distress for the idols and attacks from the organizers, more topics were focused on the 'dedication of the idols'.
"Although the slip didn't seem very serious, in the end it had to be helped by the members and it must have been quite a knock. Moreover, this kind of injury is actually the most painful, especially when you have to dance with the injury. I just I can say that Yuan is really awesome."
"Ah qinjia, the most popular boy group right now is EXO. With Yuan's popularity, it's really good that he can do this. It has changed my impression of male idols a lot."
"And the important thing is that after he fell and was injured, he didn't show any other expressions during the whole process. Although the range of his movements was obviously smaller, he always had a smile on his face, and his interactions with the audience were also very natural and easy-going. He must have been in a lot of pain at that time, right?"
"Idol is a profession that needs to convey happiness and joyful emotions to fans. You cannot convey negative emotions to others on the stage that is your life! So even if Oppa is in so much pain, he will work hard to sit down and manage his expressions, ah , I am so lucky to be a fan of XO and Yuan Oppa."
"What's the big deal? There are many artists and idols who fall down or get injured on stage and insist on completing their performances. It's just that they are not as popular as Ji Guang and the public doesn't pay attention. He does it as if he is dedicated and dedicated, and it will be fine in a few days. You can tell at a glance that the injury is not serious, which means SM will hype it up..."
Chi Jingyuan has become a dedicated representative in the industry without realizing it, but Chi Jingyuan is actually quite helpless. When he was browsing the comments on the Internet on his dormitory bed, he couldn't help but get goosebumps when he saw some people blowing their own rainbow farts.
After reading for a long time, he felt that the most objective comment was actually the last one, which was obviously posted by a negative fan...
…………
"Well, are your legs healed?"
Backstage at the Neon Osaka Dome, Chi Jingyuan was sitting on the sofa in the public rest area, listening to music with headphones and watching the news on his mobile phone. At this time, Sunny came over from nowhere and said: Sitting next to him, he crossed his legs and poked him with his hand.
"No"
Seeing the familiar sister, Chi Jingyuan first raised his head and glanced around to see if there were other people from SNSD. When he didn't see anyone else, he turned back. He took off one of his headphones and shrugged, feeling helpless: "The swelling still hasn't subsided. , it still hurts... But I didn’t come yesterday. If I don’t come today, the fans who bought tickets for me will definitely have objections... and the company’s previous announcement has been sent out..."
Today is already the 26th. Chi Jingyuan arrived in Osaka last night and missed yesterday's SMTown. However, although his knee is still not good, he does not plan to rest today. In the morning, he has returned to the team and rehearsed with the members.
"Oh, you are really unlucky. You can break your knee like this if you slip just once... but if you get a contusion, you can stop your activities and rest for two or three days. You are the only one in the company."
Sunny held her chest and looked up and down at Chi Jingyuan, who was wearing a casual outfit and smiling. Her tone sounded a little strange.
Obviously, when I heard the news the day before yesterday, I sent a caring text message to express my greetings.
"No, it would be the same if it were Princess Shungui." Chi Jingyuan narrowed his eyes with a smile and replied hehe: "Maybe two days is not enough, two months is also possible."
"Tch~ be careful, don't slip again, and remember to be gentle during today's performance..."
Sunny sneered and didn't bother to argue with him. After admonishing him, his eyes turned to the headphones Chi Jingyuan took off and hung on the earphones next to him: "What song are you listening to?"
"I know...are you talking about this?"
Chi Jingyuan looked at the headphones, picked them up and handed them over naturally: "A new song released by a girl group, Nuna, do you want to listen to it?"
The song he is listening to right now is called "Today We Start". It is the title song of the new girl group Gfriend, which debuted at the beginning of this year, in the mini-album just released on the 23rd.
In fact, he just discovered it. He didn't notice this song for more than three days after it was released. When he was browsing his phone just now, he saw someone recommending it on the forum. The speech was very sincere and serious. After he saw it, he went to search and listen to it. After checking it out, I found it to be surprisingly good. It is a very high-quality song with a sunny, pure and girly style.
He remembered the girl group Gfriend quite clearly. He had met them several times on TV stations and backstage of singing shows, but they didn't have much communication with them.
The reason why it is quite impressive is because this girl group was quite controversial when they first debuted at the beginning of this year.
First of all, it was because of the title song of the debut album "Glass Beads". When the song was released, it debuted at number 96 on the melon chart. It almost didn't make it in, but it's acceptable for a new girl group.
However, the problem was that it was involved in plagiarism controversy just after it was released. Many people, including Girls' Generation fan Sone, felt that this song was very similar to SNSD's debut song "The World Reunion", both in terms of song style and dance. It is very similar to the clothing, so it was criticized and attacked online, causing a lot of discussion and disputes.
After questioning the plagiarism, some black fans naturally started to attack the appearance according to the process. Then several members of Gfriend got into the plastic surgery controversy and were attacked a bit miserably online.
A new girl group that just debuted didn't attract many fans. Questions and scandals were widely spread, which was quite unlucky.
However, the entertainment industry is not afraid of controversy, but is afraid of being forgotten. Whether it is plagiarism, imitation or plastic surgery, at least it is good to have a topic just after debuting.
For example, Chi Jingyuan was so impressed by a less famous girl group because of these things.
And although they are a small company girl group, their resources are not bad. After their debut, they appeared on many variety shows, such as "Weekly Idol", and some of their members appeared on "Weekly Idol" just two months after their debut. "Running Man" as a guest, and set a record for the fastest time for an idol to log into the "Running Man" program.
But overall, Gfriend is not a popular girl group now. Controversies still exist about their debut, and they don’t have many fans.
The title song of their comeback this time is the one that Chi Jingyuan is listening to now. Chi Jingyuan went to watch it after listening to it before. The sound source of this song "Let's Start Today" is actually quite good, both Genie and BUGs On the day the song was released, it was ranked 4th and 8th, but Melon's airdrop was only 42. When Chi Jingyuan went to the melon chart just now, the song's ranking had dropped a lot in the past few days.
Although this sound source score is already very good for a new girl group that is returning for the second time, he feels that judging from the quality of this song, it should not be this term and should be a bit higher.
If the sound source is still OK, then the sales volume is appalling. Chi Jingyuan just checked it out. After looking through the list for a long time, he saw Gfriend’s name. The sales volume of their second mini album "Flower Bud" on the first day of release. It's actually less than 30.
It's thirty, not three hundred, nor three thousand.
When Chi Jingyuan saw it just now, he thought he had seen it wrong.
But as of today, the 26th, after more than three days of selling, the sales volume has risen rapidly to 600. Although it still looks a bit pitiful, at least it is not as sad as the sales number on the first day.
Alas, the title song of this girl group’s comeback is obviously of good quality.
Chi Jingyuan felt a little emotional in his heart. When he heard this song just now, Chi Jingyuan went to the Internet to check the relevant information about Gfriend. After reading it, he couldn't help but feel a little pity when he listened to this song again.
"I listen……"
Sunny finally put the earphones into her ears, but after listening to them for only a few dozen seconds, she took them off without interest and gave them back to him. She seemed to have no interest in this kind of innocent girl-style song, which was different from Chi Jingyuan's aesthetics. Not in the same tune.
"Which group's song is this? Why don't you listen to our "Party"?"
Sunny crossed his arms, tilted his head, and stared at him with squinted eyes.
"No, Noona..."
Chi Jingyuan, who was questioned, blinked, seeming a little surprised and a little innocent:
"Isn't it normal for me to listen to this? This song is much better than your "Party"."
