Chapter 139: The Situation of the Alliance

has already surpassed Girls' Generation I can make Yuan so embarrassed and need to think for so long, Shinyoung ZZang!"Kim Seon-young had a look of extreme surprise on her face. She jumped around in..."It's pretty good, the fans like it a lot, and the general public's reviews are also quite positive."

Wu Shih-hsuan nodded.

As EXO's first official reality show, it has been highly anticipated by all fans since the announcement. After its broadcast, both viewership ratings and discussion levels have satisfied ** and MBC.

Although some of the plot points and scriptwriting feel a bit contrived, and the early episodes were a bit awkward because some members weren't used to being on a variety show and hadn't quite gotten into character yet, overall this group reality show is well-produced. For example, they had several different teams of VJ filming the show.

Actually, given EXO's current popularity and hype, even if all twelve of them just hung out together doing nothing, like simply chatting or even sleeping, there would still be fans watching.

“Many people commented online, asking why EXO only has 11 members and where Yuan went.”

Do Kyung-soo laughed along and then added something.

“What can I do I want to record a variety show, it feels much easier than running errands.”

And for those two episodes when Park Chan-hyeok's birthday was celebrated, didn't I record a VCR message of blessings and send him gifts How could you say I wasn't there

Chi Jingyuan curled his lips and said helplessly.

If all trips were like the recording of the second season variety show, where they could play games the whole time, he wouldn't know how happy he would be.

EXO"sshowti" officially aired its fourth episode today, the 19th. Only Ji Chang-wook participated in the first two episodes, and even in the first episode, he only participated in the recording for about half an hour before leaving.

After that, when the next two episodes were filmed, Ji Jingyuan was still in Jeju Island. He had been delayed in his filming schedule because he had to go on leave for MAMA and missed the shoot, so he didn't come back.

The plot of these two episodes is about Park Chan-hyeok's birthday, where everyone gives him gifts. Ji Sung also specially recorded a VCR to express his blessings, and in front of the camera he had someone deliver the gift to him.

"Who knows... Anyway, you have nothing to do now, just take a look yourself."

"How many episodes have you recorded during the time I've been gone"

Chi Jingyuan nodded, took out his phone and started scrolling, at the same time asking a question.

"I've recorded two more episodes, not many." Wu Se-hun also took out his phone and replied while playing.

Chi Jingyuan didn't speak again, and he went online to look things up.

"Why isn't Yuan in the recording of the variety show I waited for ages and there are only 11 people"

"We want to see Yuan!!! "

"The company already said he couldn't come because of his filming schedule, and wasn't he in the last two episodes anyway"

Chi Jingyuan glanced at the comment section. There were indeed a lot of fans who had strong opinions.

However, since the schedule couldn't be changed and he had no choice about it, they skipped over that debate and turned to reading other reviews of the program content.

After looking for a while, he discovered something interesting.

Of the four episodes that have been released, the most discussed is arguably his second episode where he spent the whole time in the practice room playing video games.

He got interested and opened the second episode, directly dragging the progress bar to start watching.

The program first briefly explained why he stayed in the practice room instead of going out with the other members, and then Ji Chang-wook took up a game console and played it very seriously.

At this time, a clock appeared on the right side of the screen, its minute hand rapidly spinning to indicate how long he had been playing.

Then came a two-way dialogue between him and VJ.

"Do you feel like... there's more workload when it comes to recording gameplay"

"This is what I'm really like, nothing more real than this."

Chi Jingyuan's matter-of-fact expression left the VJ speechless.

After the timer started, the screen rapidly switched between images of Ji Jingyuan playing games and the VJ's expressions. Especially the VJ's expression of helplessness, standing there with a blank stare at Ji Jingyuan, looking utterly lost. This silent comedic effect made the audience laugh uncontrollably.

Finally, as the last game segment ended, Chi Jingyuan stretched languidly, sending the sincerest wishes to the VJ:

"Vjni, hope to see you next time as a PD."

As he said this, a sidebar caption appeared: "Rumor has it that this VJ requested a transfer after returning."

Seeing this, Chi Jingyuan burst into laughter.

He knew, of course, that the subtitles were fake, but he couldn't help himself.

It should have been a boring scene, but it became very interesting after editing. The production team is quite capable.

He didn't know when that VJ was making those pained facial expressions. If he had filmed it himself, then he's really good at producing content, and has a real chance of becoming a PD.

It is clear that compared to other members going to the movies, eating meals, and shopping together, this segment with Ji-won Park has received more love from the fans.

Actually, quite a few idol artists have created the persona of being gamers or gaming experts in order to improve their image or attract more fans.

Whether they truly like it or just pretend to is unknown.

Chi Jingyuan didn't deliberately cultivate this image, but in the few short shots he had in variety shows, his focus and dedication while playing games were very obvious. Anyone could see that he really enjoyed and savored the gaming process.

Many viewers were curious what game it was, and they also wanted to play it with him.

Monster Hunter.

Ji Jingyuan looked at a question in the comment section that had been pushed to the top, and silently replied to himself in his heart.

Even during break time, the practice room's atmosphere felt a bit off. No one spoke loudly; Park Chan-leek, who usually chatted non-stop whenever they had free time, was also quiet. They huddled together in small groups, whispering to each other.

After a short break, the members resumed their practice. Due to time constraints, they worked late into the night before heading back to their dorm to sleep.

The next day, Ji-sung returned to EXO and started their schedule. However, because they were preparing for a concert to be held soon, the group's activities these few days were not too many. Around the afternoon, they were almost done with their work, and the members returned to the practice room to rehearse together, getting ready for the upcoming music show appearances and family concert.

By the 21st, it was the first music show that Ji-yeong returned to the team for after his comeback - "Music Center" recording day.

Today, they didn't perform like before with Le as the main vocalist singing "Miracle of December." Instead, all twelve members sang the album's non-title track, "christasday," together to celebrate the upcoming Christmas.

Including episode 2's "Inkigayo" is the same, both episodes can be considered Christmas specials.

This song was practiced countless times by Ji Jingyuan during the album preparation stage, with absolutely no problems.

However, their stage outfits were interesting. Everyone wore red checkered shirts and denim overalls. The song was sentimental, and the rhythm and movements of the dance were also slow. It was quite different from EXO's usual style.

After returning to the team after many days, Chi Jingyuan was warmly welcomed by fans. When he stood back on stage, the cheers from the fans below were exceptionally intense. Every time it was his part, the screams seemed to be about to blow the roof off, deafening and causing one's eardrums to vibrate.

This time, the stage schedule for the 12-member group was announced by the company beforehand. Many of Ji Kyeongwon's solo fans came, and it was obvious that Yuan fans really missed him.

After the two days of performances were over, time came to the afternoon of the 22nd. EXO had just finished their morning schedule and were now waiting in the practice room for the filming of a special VCR for the 2013 SBS Gayo Daejeon.
