Chapter 305 Irene(2/2)
On June 27, EXO-K participated in the recording of the mid-year summary special of "Music Bank".
This is also EXO's first official public stage performance after Byon Baekhyun's love affair. Unfortunately, only Team K participated and the main actor Baekhyun did not come.
The exposure of Baekhyun's relationship has indeed had some impact on the entire EXO team. After all, Girls' Generation's jewels are at the forefront, and many fans are worried that this is just the beginning, and many members will be exposed in the future.
Overall, my sense of trust has been reduced, and I feel a little panicked.
But after all, it's just speculation and worry and it hasn't really happened yet. Apart from Byun Baekhyun's own popularity being greatly affected, EXO's fundamentals have not been shaken. They are still one of the most popular boy groups in the peninsula. As long as the venue is still full
Cheering and screaming.
KBS "Music Bank" basically holds a summary special every year, sometimes once and sometimes twice a year. Either in the middle of the year or at the end of the year.
In this year-end summary special, the performance that left a deep impression on Chi Kyung-yuan, apart from IU, was the special stage where several girl groups collaborated.
IU released the cover album "Flower Bookmark" in May this year. She changed her past innocent style and transformed into a "fun sister" image. The sound source of the entire album is very good, and many of the singles performed very well.
Among them, Chi Jingyuan's cover of the title song "The Story of My Past" was quite good. He felt it was much better than the original singer Zhao Peide, and it sounded very emotional.
The other was a special stage for Girls' Generation's "mr.mr", which was co-covered by the three girl groups Girlsday, AOA and Bestie. There were a total of twelve people on the stage, wearing black suits and top hats, looking very impressive.
After recording the stage, Team K left the TV station directly without waiting for all the artists to take the stage. They returned to the company to make preparations briefly, and then rushed to the airport with the company team and Team M, who had been waiting for a long time. They were waiting
We will get off the plane and fly to Xiaguo Mountain City. There will be a concert tomorrow night.
In order to participate in this "Music Bank" mid-year summary special, the time is so tight, and I don't know how the company arranged it.
In the waiting room of Incheon International Airport, dozens of SM people were sitting together, and twelve members of EXO were sitting in two rows. The plane would still be arriving in a few dozen minutes.
Feeling bored, Chi Jingyuan turned on his phone and browsed the news.
The hottest news in the past two days, apart from EXO's Baekhyun dating, the other one is BTS' Wu Saek's contract termination.
After Wu filed the complaint, he went silent for a period of time. A few days ago, he posted on the Internet again. He wrote a short essay to express his feelings. At the same time, he published several sets of photos to prove that what he said was correct and that he
I was indeed treated unfairly by the company, and was ostracized and bullied by other members.
Chi Jingyuan also read the news. They were all ambiguous photos, and the short essays he wrote were all his own words, and the proof was not very strong.
However, it did convince some passers-by, especially many ordinary people on the peninsula who are disgusted with bullying.
Although they despise and hate Wu's behavior of running away and terminating the contract, they also have the same contempt for BTS who have been involved in exclusionary incidents.
Of course, there must be many people who don't believe it. They feel that the words of such a dishonest villain are not worthy of belief at all. Especially the fans of Bulletproof, who have simply hated Wu to their core.
The two sides were quarreling endlessly, and the public reputation of BTS, which was originally only a second- and third-tier boy group, was greatly affected. It was a bit similar to Tara before. Although the company completely rejected all Wu's remarks, it also announced that it would continue to act as a six-member group in the future.
, but no matter what, it is definitely not as good as before.
Since then, Wu has not said anything online. It is said that he has joined a group to film a movie.
It's still early for the court to pronounce its verdict, so this matter will come to an end in the short term.
As for whether there is bullying, Chi Jingyuan is not sure, but judging from his own experience, there may be some exclusion or small group behavior in their team. After all, he has only been in the team for a short time, and he is the only one who is a member of the team.
nationality.
However, any combination of this behavior is common and is not a big deal, nor does it rise to the level of bullying.
I can only say that it was really unlucky to meet Wu.
After watching and chatting for a while, Chi Jingyuan clicked on YouTube again. The popularity of his "dope" direct-shot has dropped a lot. The current number of hits has stopped at 15 million, and the growth has slowed down significantly. It will only depend on time.
Accumulate slowly, or wait for new rice to be added.
Because of the huge popularity and popularity of his pen-and-video shots, which have had a lot of beneficial effects, countless companies and idols in the industry, including SM itself, have followed suit. Since June, the number of candid shots uploaded to the entire YouTube channel has increased exponentially.
increase.
Some artists don't even care if it's a formal stage or not. As long as it's a performance, they will have people take direct photos and upload them to YouTube. It doesn't cost anything anyway, just in case they become as popular as Chi Jingyuan.
However, so far, the click volume of most artists' direct shots has been average without any signs of becoming popular.
In this case, let alone 10 million clicks, even 1 million is a difficult number to reach. Even if there are only two other members of Team K on the same stage besides himself, "dope"
Pen-shot took advantage of the previous east wind to reach one million.
And Chi Jingyuan’s 15 million hits were completely broken, which was enough for them to chase for several years.
While watching, he suddenly saw the title of a video and couldn't help but click on it.
This is a fan’s photo taken from the recording of SBS’s “Inkigayo” on June 22.
The current MCs of "Inkigayo" are Hwang Kwang Hee, Lee Yoo Bi, EXO's Kim Jun Myun and Byun Baek Hyun.
The other two people in the video are not there. Kim Junmyun and Byun Baekhyun are on the stage smiling and reciting the host words facing the audience below. However, many fans below are holding a banner that they don't know how to get in, and at the same time they are rushing. Baekhyun kept shouting loudly.
What is written on the banner and what is shouted are the same word:
"traitor!"
Harsh shouts kept ringing, and the fans were very excited as they waved the banners in their hands.
Judging from their looks, these people must have all been fans who supported Baekhyun in the past.
On the stage, EXO's two faces were obviously a little stiff, especially Baekhyun's expression. You could see the change in his face at a glance, and his expression suddenly darkened a lot.
The video ended here, the plane was about to arrive. Chi Jingyuan put away his phone and sighed in his mind, also feeling a little puzzled.
How on earth did he say something like "I won't fall in love before I'm 35"...
…
Bian Baekhyun's relationship does not seem to have a great impact on Xia's fans in mainland China.
In other words, many fans here focused their fire on Kim Ji-sook, and ignored Byun Baek-hyun through self-deception.
The concert on the 28th was held at the Olympic Sports Center in Shancheng City. It went smoothly and ended perfectly.
After the concert, all the members returned to the hotel. They had a brief meeting with their manager and then announced the disbandment. Some members stayed in the room doing their own things, while others ran around and walked around.
Chi Jingyuan walked out of the hotel alone and was going to have something to eat.
When he checked into the hotel, he remembered on the bus that he saw a Malatang restaurant nearby. He saw many people queuing and the business was very good. He guessed that the taste should be quite authentic.
He had eaten Malatang a few times in Seoul, but it had obviously been improved and couldn't taste like Sanseong, so it was quite boring.
He remembered it in his mind at that time. He happened to have time at this moment, and he happened to be hungry.
He just asked Oh Se-hun and Do Kyung-soo to come together, but one of them called the female lead, and the other said that he was not hungry and wanted to read the script.
Yes, you can’t blame others for your lack of luck.
Chi Jingyuan was wearing a camouflage two-piece suit and carrying a bag and came to the door of this 'Authentic Mountain City Malatang' alone. It was already late and there were still a few people queuing up. The business was really booming.
He looked around outside, picked up his phone, took a photo of the store and the sign, and sent it to Zhou Ziyu.
He remembered that Zhou Ziyu seemed to have said that he liked to eat stinky tofu when they were casually chatting, and spicy hotpot was also okay.
After sending it, Chi Jingyuan went in and started queuing. Just after queuing for a while, his phone vibrated and he got a reply.
"Wow, I really want to eat it too (drooling), are you in the mountain city now?"
Chi Jingyuan looked at it, smiled, tapped the screen quickly, and replied: "If you can't eat it, just hold it in, I won't tell you."
Putting down his mobile phone, he glanced at the dishes placed in the cupboard not far away. The colors were very good and they looked quite fresh. It seemed that he was getting hungrier and hungrier.
When he was about to arrive in line, his phone vibrated again. He took it out and took a look. This time, Zhou Ziyu didn't reply to the text, but directly sent a selfie.
In the photo, she is applying a facial mask at this time. It is probably the one her mother bought for her and said it has a good whitening effect.
Although the mask covers most of her face, you can still see that she is looking at the camera with a grimace, a wrinkled nose and a slightly pouted mouth. She is also wearing a very conspicuous light blue sparkling diamond headband on her long black hair. .
This is the birthday gift Chi Jingyuan gave her last time. It's not expensive but not cheap either. She's still wearing it in the dormitory so late. It seems that Zhou Ziyu really likes it.
At this time, the queue reached Chi Jingyuan. He looked at the photo and smiled, then put his phone in his pocket without replying. He took a frame and started choosing dishes.
A few minutes later, Chi Jingyuan left the restaurant and walked toward the hotel with a plastic bag containing several packed lunch boxes.
He still had a soft heart and brought two more portions back for them to try.
Although it has entered summer, the temperature is no longer as hot as during the day when it is close to the early morning. From time to time, a cool evening breeze blows to make people feel refreshed. Walking on the sidewalk, I look at the trees planted regularly on the road, and
With the familiar characters and signboards on both sides of the storefronts, Chi Jingyuan suddenly felt like he was back when he was a child and went to school in Xia Kingdom.
When he was about to reach the hotel, a figure suddenly emerged from under the tree in front and walked towards Chi Jingyuan. Under the light, there was only a middle-aged man in his thirties. From the look of him, he seemed to have been waiting.
After a while, Chi Jingyuan was waiting specifically.
"Hello, hello, this is Chi Jingyuan, I am..." The man came up and greeted with a smile, while reaching into his suit as if to take out his business card, but he was interrupted by Chi Jingyuan before he finished speaking.
.
"Which company do you work for?"
Chapter completed!
