Chapter 98: Good Quality

Chan-yeol who rushed over. They patted his back forcefully and shouted excitedly.(**Please note:** This appears to be an incomplete HTML tag sequence.)The provided text snippet "" does not contain...Then, he talked about the key points and matters of this return, after confirming the specific practice and recording time, they adjourned. After the meeting, the manager went to discuss and coordinate with the company, while the members returned to the practice room. The atmosphere along the way was not good, not many people spoke, only the sound of heavy footsteps could be heard.

As soon as they got back to the practice room and closed the door, one of the members couldn't help but start complaining:

"Ace, what does this winter special mean Why is there a comeback that isn't with all the members Besides the main vocalists, aren't we just like we never came back"

"Also made a comeback with the main vocalist participating, so next time there should be a special episode that's all about the main dancers"

And Jingyuan is already so busy, he even specially called back to participate. We originally didn't have much of a schedule…

"This isn't Jingyuan's fault either. You heard his tone during the meeting just now, he was clearly swamped and didn't want to participate in this comeback... I also think the company's plan this time isn't very suitable."

"If something feels inappropriate, what can we do about it"

Apparently, the other members have a lot of opinions about this partial comeback, grumbling and expressing their dissatisfaction.

Even though he was mentioned by name, Chi Jingyuan didn't seem bothered. He stood against the wall at the edge, watching the person's expression.

He could understand, after all, it was EXO's comeback nominally, but they weren't included. The other members could only watch helplessly as they recorded and performed non-stop while they were left idle in the practice room or dormitory. It would be upsetting for anyone in that situation.

It's not the small number that troubles us, but the uneven distribution.

It's better to directly express dissatisfaction to the members than to keep it bottled up inside and hold a grudge.

Do Kyung Soo and Kim Jongdae, the main vocalists, seemed to have gotten the upper hand. They looked at each other and stood silently on the side, letting the other members vent their frustrations.

After a while, the manager, Lee Seung-hwan, walked in and nodded to the members briefly. He simply announced the upcoming schedule for a bit before directly taking the five members participating in the comeback project to the music room to begin familiarizing themselves and learning the several songs included in this special album.

Others watched their departing backs and the closing door, falling silent for a while before a few sighs broke the stillness.

“I used to be too selfish, only looking after myself.”

"I used to be so foolish and didn't understand your heart."

“…………”

"

This powerless superpower can't save you.

"

Ji Jingyuan is currently in the soundproof room, facing the microphone. His hands cover his ears where he wears headphones, and he's singing with eyes closed, deeply engrossed in the performance.

Their lead singer Le officially launched his comeback plan two days ago, and the progress is pretty fast.

The company had specially cleared their evenings for them, scheduling no other activities. And every day, after concentrating on filming his scenes, Ji Jingyuan would rush back to the company in the late afternoon to prepare for the album.

Because it's a pure lyric song with no choreography, there's no need to practice the most difficult dance moves. So after learning and practicing for two days, I entered the recording stage.

"Jiyuan, your Xiawen singing is really good. Your pronunciation and enunciation are very clear, and your singing voice is also very good. This point is already fine. However, in terms of expressing emotions, we need to pay a little more attention. This is a song with deep affection, and you should sing it with a hint of regret..."

Recording teacher Jin Jichang stood outside the soundproof booth, communicating through a microphone with Chi Jingyuan sitting inside, pointing out some of his shortcomings.

"Inside, Zhi Chang Ge, I know you're here, I'll keep looking for the feeling."

Ji Jingyuan nodded at Jin Jichang outside the camera, then after a moment's pause, he started recording again.

After a while, Chi Jingyuan walked out of the soundproof room and sat on the sofa waiting for the recording studio to guide the other members. At the same time, he opened up the sheet music of several other songs included in the album and started looking through them.

This comeback planning was very rushed, from proposal to confirmation to execution it didn't take much time at all. The company didn't involve him in the songwriting this time either, and Ji Kyeong-won didn't bring it up.

Although he has some songs in stock, it's difficult for him to find time recently unless he doesn't sleep at night. Just recording Deo and discussing with the company takes a long time, and this album preparation only took one month. If he delays a few days, it might be too late.

And the popularity of his "Roar" this year is simply too high. Even if he creates another song, there's no chance it could overshadow "Roar".

But when he returns next year, he will definitely be involved.

Although this comeback isn't with all members, the company still put a lot of effort into it. Several of the included songs are very high quality, even according to Ji-sung.

The lead song "Miracle in December" is excellent, both in terms of its arrangement and melody. It stands out among lyrical songs. The lyrics, especially by Xia Wen, are of significantly higher quality than before.

Besides the main tracks, there are also a few other songs that he really enjoys, like the song "First Snow". Since learning it, he can't help but hum it a few times whenever he has nothing to do these two days.

Overall, the preparation progress for this comeback is extremely fast, much faster than "Wolf" and "Roar".

EXO's members are the culmination of ** Entertainment's recent years of trainees, boasting impressive skills in various aspects. However, compared to others, their main vocalist, Le, stands out as the most powerful and exceptional.

Several vocalists, like Kim Jong-dae, DO, Baekhyun, and even Ji-young who recently got his own main vocalist role, all have incredibly impressive singing abilities. They each have unique voices, excelling in high notes, transitions, and harmonies with ease. Any one of them could easily be the main vocalist in other typical boy groups.

This comeback plan is right up their alley.

While filming tensely and preparing for a new album, Park Bo-gum, who shuttles back and forth between the two, is really tired today. As soon as he has a little free time, he takes out his phone to see if the online reviews for "The Heirs" have improved.

Although the viewership of the fourth episode saw a significant increase, the online negativity still dominated. Over the past few weeks, EXO and Yuan's black fans seem to have a vendetta against each other, constantly posting mocking and disparaging remarks on various forums day in and day out.

Even though both Park Ji-heon and the drama's fans have been constantly defending their idol, the power of words ultimately cannot compete with the persuasive force of actual viewership ratings. The current situation of "The Heirs" speaks for itself, and no matter how much fans argue, it seems rather pale and powerless.

Time quickly came to October 23rd, the third week of airing for "The Heirs", and it was time for episode five to play.

This episode continues to delve into the entanglement between Kim Tan and Cha Eun Sang, further extending the background and interpersonal relationships of the main characters. Kim Tan decides to leave LA and return to Korea, and during their last time together, Kim Tan and Cha Eun Sang share their first kiss, which is a newly added scene filmed by Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye in LA.

Every time the male and female leads in an idol drama make a breakthrough in their relationship, it becomes a highlight of the plot. And this being the first kiss scene in the entire series, it's sure to be a hot topic of discussion.

And it follows closely on the heels of Jin Tan's side-profile confession to Che Eun Sang in the cinema last week. Although everyone knows that these two are definitely not going to officially date so soon, it still attracted quite a few viewers who watched the show right on time this week.

The next day's ratings were released, easing everyone's anxiety. It was 15.3%.

Last week's surge in viewership at the last minute made many people worry that it was a flash in the pan. Although this episode didn't increase much, it at least stabilized the previous results and still maintained an upward trend.

When the actors let out a sigh of relief, feeling they could relax for a while, the emotions that had just seemed to calm down changed within a day.

Until the sixth episode aired on the 24th, this episode picks up after the kiss scene between the male and female leads. Several major characters also experience intense conflict and entanglement in this episode. The intricate connections and contradictions between the tycoons gradually become apparent to everyone.

The next morning, the viewership statistics came out at 16.2%, continuing to show a growth trend.

Since last week's plot development, "The Heirs" has maintained a steady growth curve, rising steadily online with each episode. The viewership ratings are already quite good at this point, even if they remain at this level, it would be a performance worthy of a celebratory banquet after the show ends.

From this episode onwards, the online praty black fans who have been attacking recently for the past two weeks seem to be feeling the wind shift against them.
