Although Lin Yuner probably just guessed the reason why Chi Jingyuan did this and knew that it was quite normal, to be honest, she still had some unavoidable feelings in her heart.
But of course she would not take the initiative to ask face-to-face, or blame anything. Lin Yoona's emotional intelligence would not allow her to do this. She could just know this kind of thing in private, and she had no position to do so. After all, she and Although Chi Jingyuan is relatively familiar, he is not that close. He is still only a colleague in the company.
If the Ernie who had changed the combination encountered this kind of thing, he would probably go up and give him a kick in the butt, and then casually chat about this kind of thing.
After all, the relationship is still different.
However, it's possible that Chi Jingyuan didn't even know that she was participating in the role competition...
never mind.
She looked at Chi Jingyuan's back getting further and further away in the distance, and slightly twitched the corners of her mouth.
There is ample time!
…
After finishing today's itinerary, the EXO group took a flight to Hong Kong Island early the next morning on the 16th. They went to the hotel to freshen up a bit and then rushed directly to the AsiaWorld-Expo to start tonight's concert. Stamping and rehearsals.
EXO's planning for this year's second tour is huge. It has been going on for more than three months since May and has held more than a dozen concerts. The number of people mobilized has exceeded 200,000, but it still has not completed the entire three-month plan. one part.
According to the initial plan, this second tour will span the New Year and will not end until March next year. As for whether there will be an encore by then, it depends on the company's arrangements at that time.
Because EXO's momentum this year is so hot, basically all performances are sold out. No matter where or how big the venue is, unless it's a huge venue like the Dome with 50,000 or 60,000 people, basically as long as it opens At the ticket window, all tickets will be announced to be sold out within a second or two.
As for Peninsula's idol group, EXO also started the era of 'instant sell-out'.
Due to the large number of fans and the lack of food, most of the already large fan groups in various places had been waiting for a long time but could not get tickets at all. This caused a lot of complaints, which led SM to start to carry out multiple events in addition to the original plan. The venue was temporarily added so that more fans would have the opportunity to come and see their idols perform live.
This time, the concert on Hong Kong Island will last for two days, the 16th and 17th. It was originally scheduled to be only one on the 16th. In the end, because of these reasons, another one was temporarily added some time ago.
However, both the company and EXO members are happy with it and have no complaints at all. The consecutive comebacks in the first half of the year have increased their popularity so much. The ultimate goal is to make revenue, and concerts are one of the best ways for the group to monetize. one.
…
"Brother, how is your recording of "The King of Masked Singer" going?"
After the concert on the 16th, a group of EXO people were eating in the restaurant of the hotel on the morning of the 17th. Nine people were divided into two tables and chatting while eating. Chi Jingyuan and the others casually asked about Jin Jongdae's variety show.
EXO has not returned during this period. All members are promoting their own personalities. They can be seen in many popular variety shows, such as "Infinite Challenge" and "Law of the Jungle". Kim The same goes for "The King of Masked Singer" in which Jongdae participated.
"The King of Masked Singer" is a great place for members of idol groups to prove their singing skills. If you win a few rounds after participating, you will be bragging about it by fans for a long time.
"It's not bad, let's move on to the next round." Jin Zhong chewed the bread in his mouth, his voice a little muffled.
"Are you confident of winning the championship?"
"This is probably enough."
"Jingyuan, how's your performance of "The No Choice Song Festival" going? Speaking of which song you sang, I haven't heard it yet."
"Brother, you really don't care at all. I haven't even watched a single issue... It's okay. It's over. The song is called "Rooftop Room" and the sound source will be released in two days... Give me a copy of Yangzhi Manna .”
Chi Jingyuan glanced at Park Chanyeol speechlessly. This guy has never watched a single episode of "Infinite Challenge" so far. And it's not just him, but the rest of EXO are also similar. Basically, they have never watched his variety show. .
But the same goes for Chi Jingyuan. He has almost never watched these brothers' programs. Everyone is in love with each other.
After shaking his head and replying, he called the waiter next to him and asked for an extra meal.
"I want one too."
"And I."
Several people nearby also agreed. It seemed that this Hong Kong-style dessert suited their appetite.
"This stuff is really delicious."
"There is a dessert shop near our dormitory that sells it. Have you never tried it before..."
"I do not know."
The desserts came quickly. Chi Jingyuan took a bite and put it in his mouth. Listening to the chat of the members next to him, suddenly the phone on the table lit up and vibrated twice. He glanced at the sender's name displayed on the screen, and then Sipping the spoon, he picked up the phone, leaned back on the chair behind him, unlocked it and clicked on it.
When I opened the text message sent by Bae Zhuhyun, what caught my eye was a selfie.
It was a half-length photo. In the photo, she was wearing a red plain short-sleeved shirt and denim shorts. Her slightly curly brown hair was all moved to the left side of her face. She was standing in front of a white wall. Her posture should be that of her hands. Holding her cell phone, she smiled at the camera that she was looking up at.
The key point is that she also wears a pair of black-framed irregular glasses, which are placed on the bridge of her nose, adding a mature and intellectual feeling to the whole person. It looks heart-wrenching. In the faintly exposed fragment below the photo, it can also be seen that It seemed that she was also wearing a pair of red half stockings.
Chi Jingyuan raised his eyes and glanced at the reactions of his tablemates. When he saw that no one was paying attention to him and they were all eating and chatting, he lowered his head and looked at his phone with relief.
No, why are these girls, no matter their age, so fond of posting selfies whenever they disagree? He has received several of them in the past few days alone.
Although, it does look pretty good.
He glanced at the words 'It's so hot today' written on the text message, smiled, and replied:
"Is this your new look for this comeback?"
He knew at a glance that this look was not the way Bae Zhuhyun wore clothes in private.
"It's one of the looks in the MV for the title song. Today we are going to shoot the album cover and promotional poster."
"what do you think?"
The young lady replied very quickly, I guess it would be my break time.
"It's very pretty, very distinctive...are those stockings only worn on one leg?"
After clicking send, Chi Jingyuan sat forward with his phone in hand and continued eating the dessert in front of him.
After red velvet's successful mini-album event in March, which reversed the previous unfavorable situation and increased their popularity, they directly struck while the iron was hot under the arrangement of the company. After nearly five months, they are about to release their second album. A regular album, their second comeback this year. I heard her say before that the comeback is expected to be in early September, which will almost catch up with the last train of the summer girl group war.
Bae Joo Hyun and the others have been busy preparing for the album recently.
Although EXO has not been very busy recently, I heard that Ledebei is extremely busy. Speaking of which, except for the chance encounter at the company and the several concerts they attended together, Chi Jingyuan has been alone for almost a month. I haven’t even had time to meet a few people from Ledbebe in private, and Bae Joo Hyun is about the same, that is, I can meet regularly on “Music Bank” once a week,
"Haha (laughing)"
Bae Zhuhyun seemed very happy with Chi Jingyuan's praise. After sending an emoji, she explained: "Yes, these stockings are only worn on one leg. I also think it's quite strange, but I heard the producer said this It’s a concept expressed in our song... Each member’s color is different and they all use their own representative color.”
"What are your representative colors? I remember that Seulgi and Seungwan are orange and blue respectively, and you are pink...but your stockings are not pink either."
"Pink and red are about the same kkkkkk, don't talk about Seulgi and Seungwan, they have been at odds in the past two days and are having a cold war hahaha kkkkk"
"Oh? What's going on?" Chi Jingyuan immediately became curious when he saw this.
"It's just that Seulgi has had an acne on her face in the past two days. Shengwan saw it that morning and immediately said it. The voice was a bit loud. Seulgi probably felt a little uncomfortable when she heard it and was holding her breath. Later she said After a few words of bickering, the two of them stopped talking to each other for two days..."
"Hahaha, don't worry, this kind of thing has happened many times. Every time these two people have a cold war for two days, they quickly make up. After two days, everything will be fine."
The young lady talked about the matter in a cheerful tone. She seemed to be used to it and didn't take it too seriously. Instead, she treated it as a fun fact.
Seeing what she said, Chi Jingyuan blinked, remembering how Jiang Seulqi and Son Seungwan usually got tired of being together, and then imagining the scene where the two people had serious faces and deliberately didn't talk to each other, and felt that Quite interesting.
It is easy for several people with different living habits and preferences to be arranged to live under the same roof. In the dormitory life of idol groups, such small conflicts and gaps often occur, and many times it is small things. They can just argue about whether they stepped on an acne, the order of bathing, etc. No matter how good-tempered a person is, there will be times when he is in a bad mood and cannot control it.
But we always have to live together for many years. It can only be said that we have adapted and understood each other.
The same goes for EXO. Not only did they often quarrel and even fight when they first lived together, but even after living together for several years, they still quarrel over trivial matters from time to time.
But it wasn't a big deal in itself. Once the anger subsided, I apologized every two days and simply forgot about it.
It's just a pity that I didn't see what Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan looked like when they were angry.
"Next time, can you secretly take a picture of the two of them getting angry, just to see what it's like?"
"Kkkkk Why are you so bad? Of course not! They will really be angry when we film this."
"It's really not very appropriate... I'm just a little curious, so I pretended I didn't say anything."
"By the way, there are no photos of them being angry, but there are a few photos of me in other styles for my return to the title song this time. Do you want to see them?" After chatting for a while, the young lady suddenly asked a little reservedly.
Before the official release of the song, even if there are selfies of some photos of the new look, they are rarely sent to others, mainly because they are afraid that they will be leaked before the comeback. But for Ji Kyung-won, Bae Zhuhyun naturally has no worries at all. .
"What do you think?"
"Ding~~ding~~ding~~"
Chi Jingyuan's natural request was quickly responded to. The phone kept vibrating, and Pei Zhuhyun sent several photos in succession. In addition to the more distinctive ones, which were clearly for the new song, there were also several photos. She took selfies in the studio wearing private clothes. Some of her eyes were smiling, some of the corners of her mouth were smiling, and some of her dimples were smiling. In each of them, she was smiling beautifully at him, as if she was sitting in front of him.
Although Bae Zhuhyun's selfie skills are not very good, her expressions are natural and her angles are good. She is obviously much better than some people who are obviously good-looking but always look silly in their selfies.
"Which one do you think is the best?"
"In terms of styling features, the one wearing glasses would be the first one."
"kkkk You like this style? What if you don't care about the style?"
"Every one of them is beautiful."
"(shy)"
While texting with the young lady, eating delicious desserts, and occasionally interjecting a few words into the chats of the people at the same table, Chi Jingyuan felt comfortable and relaxed all over because the sun was shining brightly in the morning.
…
After the successful conclusion of the concert on the 17th, the EXO group also returned to Seoul through Incheon Airport on the 18th, and dispersed to start individual activities. The next group trip will have to wait until the 22nd for the concert in Chang'an City, Mainland China. .
At the same time that EXO returned to Seoul, more than a month after the premiere song, Girls' Generation, one of the protagonists of this summer's girl group battle, also officially returned with an album, which was released on the 18th and 19th. The MVs for the double title songs "Lion Heart" and "You Think".
The two title songs have very different styles, one is aimed at the local peninsula market, and the other is focused on the overseas market. It can be seen that SM has great ambitions for SNSD's comeback.
Together with the two songs from the preview album, the entire regular album contains a total of 12 songs. Five songs were released on each of the two days at noon. The double hits were airborne on Melon's fifth and sixth songs. Although this music source airborne did not include the preview song "party". Although the performance was high, the response was not impressive. In particular, the luxurious costumes of all the members in the "Lion Heart" MV immediately became the focus of heated discussion and attention in the peninsula music industry.
However, not all online reviews are positive. Many people think that the style of the title song is too sweet, the melody is average, the choreography is ugly, and the costumes are too exaggerated.
In addition, after Girls' Generation performed two title songs for the first time on "Music Bank" on the 21st, there was another discordant voice on the Internet.
Many Girls' Generation fans, as well as Lin Yoona's only fans, have discovered that their idol Yoona Unnie, in the three-minute and eight-second song "You Think", one of SNSD's comeback double hits, Not a single personal part.
Not less.
No.
Not a word.
The fans within idol groups are usually very fierce. For example, fans of EXO and Wu Sehun, who have few parts, often tear up the company and members because of the lack of parts.
Not to mention this time, YoonA sunbaenim didn't even have a single lyric. Apart from opening her mouth to show that she was not a backup dancer during the chorus, there was no room for expression at all.
Many of YoonA's biggest fans immediately became furious when they found out, and they started tearing it up online just two days after SNSD's comeback.
Chi Jingyuan almost laughed out loud when he saw the news on the Internet, and then he was filled with righteous indignation and denounced it together with the control officials:
"You don't even know a single part? The company is really interesting. If you don't want to bring Yoona along, you don't have to bring her along. Just let the seven girls from Girls' Generation play by themselves and see how they perform without my permission."
"Please the company stop torturing Yoona. Do you know how tired she was from filming in the first half of the year? She had to travel back and forth and prepare an album. The last part didn't really hurt. Just let me, Yoon Meimei, be an actress." Okay?"
"Just quit the group and become an actor. As Yoona's only fan, I can't bear it anymore. This is the title song, and the whole thing is like a backup dancer. You can imagine how uncomfortable Yoona must be. I feel really bad!"
"Boycott SNSD's comeback, I won't buy the album anyway."
"resist!"
Before they had time to compete with other girl groups, SNSD fans started to quarrel among themselves. As one of the top members of the team, Lin Yoona, although her fans lost a lot because of her relationship exposure last year, her popularity in some aspects began to lag behind that of others. A top member Kim Taeyeon.
But after all, the number of fans is there, and the number of her die-hard fans is still very large. After the quarrel, it caused a lot of repercussions. In addition to being a lot of excitement in the peninsula, it also spread to the mainland. I heard that Several of Lin Yoona's websites immediately found an excuse to close the purchasing channels for this album.
However, although the impact is not very good, and it is estimated that it will reduce the sales of some physical albums, overall it is not all bad for Girls' Generation. At least there will be discussions only if they tear it up. The fans' quarrel after the first stage attracted obviously more attention than the previous two The sky is much higher, and fans have to abuse them to have a closer connection with their idols.
Chi Jingyuan still couldn't help but sigh when he saw Girls' Generation's dominance and increasing popularity among the recently returned artists, as well as the amount of space it gained on the Internet.
As expected of YoonA-senpai, she has even calculated this.
As for why Lin Yoon-ah didn’t have a word in the title song, Ji Kyung-won didn’t know the specific reason. He just heard her say that the song "You Think" was particularly difficult to sing when chatting with Kim Taeyeon before...
And while Girls' Generation's "You Think" and other artists are desperately climbing up the music charts, the last issue of the "Infinite Challenge Music Festival" on the 22nd was finally aired as scheduled, and this time the Music Festival performance The sound sources of six songs were also released at the same time.
