Chapter Twenty-Three: A Month

is skills are still average, and... his character... I don't know if it counts as character, anyway, I didn't really like him. Since he's gone, he's gone. It's good." 。“Oh What happened to him” Ji Jin...As an employee of the human resources department of a web company, Choi You-na's favorite pastime during her off hours is following male idol groups, which is one of the most popular things that female millennials in the peninsula do.

She isn't a loyal fan of any particular group, but rather a popular idol fan. Whichever group is trending and popular, she'll support that group.

Choi U-na never pays attention to new groups with no popularity, because new groups in the peninsula appear every year like crucian carp crossing a river, countless. Many groups just debut for a few days of activity and are shelved because they haven't met expectations and the company hasn't continued to invest. She feels that chasing those new groups is a complete waste of emotion.

Recently, she's been really into BEAST. As a male group that has won the MMA Annual Artist Award for two years in a row, they are considered one of the hottest male groups recently.

Amongst all the men, she liked Ryu Jun Yeol the best. Choi Woo Na thought he was incredibly handsome, and even after their relationship was exposed, she still chased after him relentlessly.

This happened to be her break time, she took out her phone and skillfully opened the entertainment panel's hot search. Seeing several repeated keywords hanging on top, her eyes widened, and she frowned: "Is this O Is it necessary to buy so many hot searches"

At a glance, half of the top ten trending topics on the entertainment section of this peninsula's largest news websites belonged to one person.

'Yuan, shoot the arrow.'

'The view of the pool.'

'Yuan, Idol Sports Meeting.'

'Yuan, EXO.'

'Male idol handsome faces.'

The entire trending list was almost completely dominated by this person named 'Yuan'. Choi You-na couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

She had heard the name Yuan before. Around August and September last year, when "Please Answer" was airing, it became quite popular. Choi Yuna also knew about it, but she didn't watch the drama. Besides, seeing that it was a new group with average debut results, she politely declined to get involved.

At that time, I checked the information and glanced over it, but I didn't leave a deep impression. It just looked a little better.

At first glance at the hot search list, her immediate reaction was that Yuan's economic company was buying hot searches for marketing. This kind of thing is really common in the entertainment industry.

"Buying hot searches, just one photo of her looking awkward is enough, isn't it This person in charge of publicity is also sick. Buying so many won't this backfire Really annoying artists and companies."

Choi You-na pouted, inwardly tutting at Yuan, this new rookie idol. She casually clicked on a trending topic and prepared to leave some sarcastic comments.

As soon as you go in, two high-definition photos of a boy hang at the top.

One shows him drawing his bow, his serious and sharp eyes fixed on the target ahead. His flawless features and just-right styling perfectly bring out the entirety of his image.

...and the other one, he turned his body sideways, holding a composite bow in one hand and giving a thumbs-up with the other. He tilted his head slightly, showing off a sunny grin with teeth on display, paired with crescent-shaped eyes that crinkled at the corners. It looked like his whole person was radiating light.

... Cui You-na clicked on it and after a glance, she was stunned. She had originally planned to drag the page directly to the bottom, but her hand hovered over the mouse wheel, covering her mouth at some point.

"Oh…ooo!"

The Idol Sports Meet aired officially on the 11th day before yesterday, and this episode of the show was truly a labor of love by the production team.

All of them are experienced variety show veterans. Several PDs and producers noticed during filming that this pool scene performed exceptionally well, it's definitely a highlight.

For the sake of buzz and viewership, after communicating with ** company, exchanging some resources and confirming their cooperation for promotion, they put a lot of effort into editing in the later stages.

Because of the limited time, the program team first cut out many boring segments from other artists, giving a lot more relaxed time to the stage where male archer Jingyuan appeared.

Then, through editing and splicing of clips, especially the passionate reactions of various female idols and audiences, as well as interspersed close-ups of Ji Chang Wook, the atmosphere was completely built up.

Plus, Chi Jingyuan's archery skills and stunning appearance, with each arrow hitting the bullseye, immediately sparked discussions and became a hot topic.

After the broadcast, it caused quite a stir online. Coupled with the promotion from ** and MBC's production team, after two days of brewing, from this morning onwards, several trending topics featuring Park Ki-won or Yuan appeared, followed by fire emojis.

Kim Jun-myeon saw it while scrolling through his phone and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

Members also discussed it for a while, but the enthusiasm was not high, and attitudes towards it varied.

There are those who envy, those who are indifferent, some who are resentful, and some who are just bitter.

Chi Jingyuan smiled occasionally and chipped in with a few words, accepting all the members' complaints without reservation.

He was also a little surprised by how well the variety show turned out, and he was in a pretty good mood.

This time it really seems to be quite popular, topping the trending searches before long, and several close friends messaged me about it.

Seeing that the sender is Taeyeon, the first one, is she free today

Instead of opening the message directly, Chi Jingyuan pondered for two seconds, guessing what the other party would say before tapping on it.

As expected, without exception, just as Ji Jingyuan thought:

Kim Tae-yeon changed her phone wallpaper to a picture of Park Kyung-won shooting arrows and captioned it, asking if her wallpaper was handsome.

Seeing the pool view, Chi Jingyuan chuckled. This sister really has an interesting personality.

"Wow, Jingyuan, your photos are so amazing... I'm envious..." This was Jiang Sheqi's

After that, Sunny, HyoYeon, and Seohyun also sent messages to chat. As they are all within the industry, their sensitivity to daily news is quite high. They have all noticed that Park Ji-yeong has become popular again this time.

“Jingyuan is so popular this time, it brings us a lot of benefits for our comeback. Let's see how the company arranges it.”

Kim Jun-myeon summed it up and then clapped his hands. “Okay, keep going. The progress is a little slow, everyone fight!”

…………

As Kim Jun-myeon said, during the days when Ji Chang-wook became a trending topic because of the idol athletic meet, ** also timely announced EXO's upcoming comeback, which garnered considerable attention.

Chi Jingyuan took advantage of this opportunity to gain a lot of fans and became a hot topic for a while. He was already popular with advertising companies and businesses, and this time going viral attracted another wave of attention from companies. However, because he is preparing for his comeback album, the company turned down most invitations, only keeping a few that were hard to refuse and offered too much.

Although the view count for Pool Kyungwon's (池景源) video brought him a decent profit, not many people actually expressed their support for EXO's comeback.

Besides EXO fans, most of the audience are also there for the spectacle. There are also a lot of sarcastic comments because their debut song "MAMA" wasn't well-received, and XO has been criticized by some website trolls for their debut image style. They are still being called "The ugliest boy band of 2012" or "The biggest money-loser boy group" to this day.

Even if they were to regress, these black fans would only change the prefix from 2012 to 2013.

This time, Chi Jingyuan's sudden rise to fame was quite intense. However, without the support of works and continued resource investment, the heat didn't last long either. After a little over a week, it gradually subsided, leaving only a small group of fans still discussing him.

At this time, EXO is already緊張ly preparing for their comeback album, and the outside noise does not affect them.

Before I knew it, a month had passed.
