Chapter 62: I am Jung Soo-jung

's stage.This stage was obviously carefully prepared, and a VCR was even filmed to set the mood. The performance theme was presented in a skit format, followed by the music of "No Tomorrow" rising, an...Today is the 15th, EXO is currently resting backstage at a temporarily built stage in a shopping mall in Mapo district, waiting for their upcoming commercial performance.

The sound outside was very noisy, with intermittent shouts of "EXO" coming through. They passed by the entrance before going backstage, there were many audience members, and the area under the stage was basically full.

During this period, whenever there is an EXO performance, it inevitably attracts a large crowd to watch. Both the atmosphere at the scene and the enthusiasm of the audience have made the organizers very satisfied.

So recently, EXO's performance fees have also skyrocketed with the fermentation and rise of "Growl." Currently, their performance schedule is almost full, reaching a point where they are priceless.

If you want to cut the line, you can also do that, depending on whether you have enough connections or offer enough.

Chi Jingyuan was sitting on the sofa, chatting casually with the members while browsing the news and forums on his phone.

Yesterday, on the 14th, they aired an episode of "Idol of the Week" that they recorded a week prior.

"Weekly Idol" is the most popular talk show about idol groups in the past two years, with a loyal fanbase. This episode's guests are EXO, who are currently very hot and trending.

With the pairings, this week's episode of "Weekly Idol" saw viewership surpass the two episodes that featured SJ and SHINee as guests, reaching the highest ratings of the year.

Although EXO is currently very popular, they have appeared on few talk shows recently. Last year, they didn't participate in many variety shows. During the 《Wolf》 era, the most they participated in were radio programs hosted by senior members of their own company.

Many fans don't actually know much about their idols besides the dazzling persona they present on stage. They are also eager to learn about their idols' true personalities offstage, but due to a lack of access and understanding, they remain somewhat unclear.

And this week's episode of "Idol of the Week" just happened to reveal some aspects of Chi Jingyuan's true personality.

Chi Jingyuan has always been known to the public for his outstanding appearance and sunny smile that is very pleasing.

But the discussion about Ji Chang-wook among several EXO members in this "Weekly Idol" episode made many fans and passersby feel a strong sense of contrast.

The program has aired and its discussion rate has skyrocketed.

"Jia I never imagined Yuan would be like this in private! I can't believe how handsome he looks when he smiles. How is he so venomous to others normally"

"Look at how Sehun's face is here, he looks deeply affected. He was the happiest when the members were scolding Yuan."

"The smile and his true personality really contrast too much, but why am I not only not surprised, but actually like him more than before"

"Me too, I think his personality would be really fun to hang out with privately."

"I also really want to be scolded by Yuanoppa..."

"D.O.'s acting was so lively, you guys pay attention to Yuan's expression at that time, it was exactly the same as D.O.'s imitation, I died laughing kkkkkk"

This comment also included a picture comparing the look of suspicion that Ji Kyeong-won had when he was caught looking at the other members while they were chatting privately in previous fancams, and Do Kyung-soo mimicking that look.

That aura was exactly the same, no wonder she's a roommate who lived with him day and night.

As the planning and publicity departments of ** company predicted, this level of disclosure will not have a negative effect, but rather will further highlight the members' charms.

After it was revealed yesterday that Chi Jingyuan liked watching anime, the company received a large batch of gifts from fans today. They were all kinds of figurines, plush toys, and ornaments related to anime.

It's all because Doh Kyung-Soo used the words "childish" and "liked by kids" when recording, causing fans to really think that Ji-Won likes watching low-age children's films.

What on earth is this "Three Little Bears" plush toy...

Pool Jingyuan's favorite "Doraemon" and "Pokemon" are so cool and stylish, how can they be related to childishness at all

The day after the broadcast, #Yuan's personality, #D.O.'s imitation of Yuan, and #EXO's group spirit became hot topics on Weibo.

Besides expressing curiosity about Ji-yeong, many people praise the harmonious relationships within EXO. There isn't much friction or distance between the older and younger members, making them a very cohesive group with strong team spirit.

The most basic and serious requirement the people of the Peninsula have for an idol group is that they must have team spirit, and bullying incidents cannot occur.

Although bullying often occurs in school campuses and corporate cultures.

But after all, the abusers are a minority, and the victims are the majority.

So, the vast majority of ordinary people strongly despise in-group conflicts or bullying within idol groups. If an artist is associated with such incidents, it becomes a huge problem for them. Unless they can completely clear their name, their reputation will be tarnished regardless of how popular the group is. This is one of the scandals that all management agencies fear the most.

Therefore, all the combinations will often take some certification photos, or interactions between members to show close relationships.

After more than a year of struggling through a low point, EXO's team atmosphere is indeed much better now than it was when they debuted last year. The team spirit has also begun to show, but it remains to be seen whether the recent fire will bring any changes to their relationships and interactions.

After finishing the performance, everyone immediately boarded two nanny cars and headed straight for M.

Since yesterday, we've entered the second week of promoting our song. Starting this week, EXO will officially challenge all music shows one by one.

After more than a week, the performance of "" is now almost certain. Under the circumstances of complete sales breakage, the audio source is also very strong. Besides ranking first on several other music charts for many days, it has been fluctuating between the top three positions on Melon, the most competitive chart.

《Wolf》 debuted at number one but then plummeted in the charts, disappearing quickly. Unlike that, 《Roar》 has a very strong afterglow. Its click-through rate and listening rate both show a pleasing upward trend. It's a dance track that even casual listeners would find good just by hearing it, without needing to watch the stage performance.

So this comeback, EXO has no weak points in terms of sales or digital music charts. As long as they accumulate for a week or two and appear on more programs to increase their broadcast time, in the next one or two months, their stages will likely enter the realm that Ji-hyeong had always longed for.

Just who touched whom to death status.

If they return during this time period, no matter if they are a top-tier group or a powerful agency, they will be directly crushed by EXO's "Roar," unable to touch any number one awards.

But today's M!C, I estimate one is probably not going to be awarded because an M!C usually only goes to artists present at the event.

> While EXO only went to pre-record a stage and left right after, they've been incredibly busy lately with their schedule completely packed. They have other activities to run afterwards, and they won't even show up for the last award ceremony stage.

It's worth mentioning that from this period onwards, M!tDown has a new host, Kim Woo Bin. It is known that this male artist, who debuted several years ago and transitioned from a model to an actor, has been confirmed to star as the second male lead in "The Heirs". He will be collaborating with him on filming for the next few months.

The other party obviously knew Ji Jingyuan. Although Kim Woo Bin debuted earlier and is older, he didn't seem to have any airs about him. The two were quite lively when greeting each other during the backstage interview and chatted for a while before getting acquainted. The atmosphere was pretty good.

After finishing the stage performance, EXO ran two more schedules back-to-back. It wasn't until nightfall that they were famished and followed their manager to a restaurant to start eating.

As the members listlessly chatted while waiting for the food to arrive, Ji Jingyuan had just finished a sentence when his phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was a text message from an unknown number:

"I am Jung Se-jeong, thank you for your help. Do you have some time recently I'd like to treat you to a meal."
