Chapter 79 Style red

mself: 'I'm usually passive, and I'm always serious about dating. Don't compare me to people like Wu Saik.'" 。"Yeah, changing partners every two months is also serious dating. " 。Do Kyung-soo scoffed....Today's family concert will include several stages, including "Roar" and "Addiction," but the earliest one is now the "" suddenly erupted. Under the rain, EXO's performance officially began.

"Like being lost, as if dodging something."

"One can only endure, closing their eyes tight."

The only good news is that the sound system on-site was actually quite good. The music quality could still be heard clearly amidst the noisy rain.

The heavy rain on stage had already pooled, and the camera zoomed in. With each step the shoes took on the stage, a large splash of water would be kicked up. The splashes kept jumping and swirling, as if dancing with the members of XO together, creating an unforgettable rainy stage performance.

"Aren't we supposed to be looking into each other's eyes anymore"

"Aren't you going to talk to me anymore Aren't you going to say you love me anymore"

The second chorus section transitioned into the summer-themed lyrics. K team left the center stage and dispersed to different corners, leaving the stage for the other team to perform. After Han's departure, his long part was evenly distributed among the remaining members, with Tao and Doyoung receiving a considerable amount each.

At this moment, Chi Jingyuan was half-kneeling at the edge of the stage. He lowered his head, feeling the heavy rain constantly beating on his head and clothes. The raindrops flowed down his hair, along his brow bones, cheeks, and nose, and the relentless water kept splashing into his eyes, making it hard for him to open them. No matter how he shook his head, there was always a fresh wave of rain pouring down from above.

He moved the microphone a little away, reached out and with force wiped his forehead, brushing the bangs to the side. He pursed his lips, squinted, and shook his head vigorously.

He felt like he was taking a shower.

He glanced sideways and found that the k team members squatting around him were all shaking their heads just like him. Feeling the gazes, a few people tacitly looked up at each other. Although they couldn't see each other's expressions because it was dark, he imagined that everyone must be very embarrassed right now.

For some reason, as the sound of rain grew louder and the fans' screams more fervent, Ji Jingyuan suddenly found this rainy stage strangely interesting.

It is estimated that, like the previous winter stage performance where they almost froze to death, it will become one of their most memorable performances.

After the second chorus, everyone took to the stage and began to dance together. Ji Jingyuan, as well as each member of EXO, not only did not reduce their movements because of the rain making the ground slippery, but rather increased the intensity of their every move. The black jackets swayed with the body's rapid movement, continuously stepping on the stage with great force. Even though the sound of their shoes hitting the floor was covered by the music and the rain, that distinct power seemed to penetrate into the minds of every audience member.

As the crowd parted, tao launched himself from behind with a fierce backflip landing, right into the last chorus. All members dropped to their knees, and Park Ji-sung walked out from the far right, taking the front position and beginning to sing his part:

"

Let broken hearts rekindle the joy of love.

"

"Retrieve our smiles from the past."

This close-up shot on the big screen shows a direct and extremely detailed view. The water from the source of the pool is dripping onto his forehead, and he's drenched with rainwater that keeps running down his face. He's singing high notes, his mouth open, his hand extended to his cheek, slightly tilting his head. Because of the rain curtain obscuring his face, his expression looks a bit strained.

Behind him, there was a brightly lit white spotlight on the stage. He was backlit, so his head and neck were clearly visible, but the upper part of his body seemed to be lost in the intense light. For a moment, it felt like reality and illusion coexisted. Coupled with the music and atmosphere of "aa," it gave people an indescribable sense of holiness.

The final dance saw everyone giving it their all. The infectious dancing and singing made the rain-soaked stage surprisingly lively, the passion wasn't dampened but rather intensified, leaving every audience member feeling ignited.

"Careless, careless. Shoot an anyo, an anyo."

"heartless, dless. no one whoe"

After striking the end pose, everyone bowed to thank the audience. They quickly left the stage amidst a deafening roar of screams.

Although the temperature was low and it was raining, after watching this performance, the audience seemed to be glowing with excitement.

Because they still had makeup on, Chi Jingyuan and the others dared not directly wipe their faces with their hands for fear that a swipe would ruin their makeup. After getting off the stage, they took the towels handed over by their assistants and quickly dabbed them lightly on their faces to remove the water around their eyes.

“Ah…ah…” The people following behind let out a burst of cries like they were releasing pent-up frustration, as if they had been liberated. A few soaked chickens huddled together, each with a towel wiping their heads, the scene looked especially comical. An assistant holding a camera nearby captured this moment aptly.

At this moment, Ji Jingyuan noticed Tao frowning and rubbing his left leg beside him. He looked over with some confusion, and the other members were also drawn by his gaze and all turned to look at Tao.

"What's wrong" Several people rushed over when they saw the situation, and the manager standing nearby also hurried over.

"I landed a somersault just now and kind of twisted my ankle, it hurts a bit." Tao rubbed his calf and tried to move it.

Although he moved around a bit, he didn't seem to be in too much pain afterward. He could also push off the ground with his foot, so it didn't look like a major issue.

Wait, EXO still has a few stages left. It's impossible to go to the hospital right now. Besides, these kinds of injuries are common for them during practice, everyone is used to it.

"How are you feeling" Lee Seunghwan asked while helping to rub Tao's leg.

"It hurts a little, but everything else is fine."

"It looks fine. Let's check it out after the concert."

"Inside."

After that, EXO performed "Growl" and "Overdose" again. Tao seemed to be fine and successfully completed the stage, so everyone didn't think much of it.

>Only at the family concert the next day, after EXO performed "aa" again with a somersault exit, Tao suddenly felt his injury worsen. He rubbed his leg for a long time backstage and insisted on completing the remaining two stages. Afterward, he couldn't hold it in anymore, clutching his calf while his face turned pale from pain. After a quick check, the manager found that the problem seemed serious and immediately took him to the hospital.

The other EXO members who returned to the hotel first were also downcast for a while. After dinner, they didn't go out to play either; they just waited in their rooms for news.

It wasn't until close to dawn that Lee Seung-hwan returned and told them the news.

"Fibula fracture, rest for four to eight weeks."

The members were gathered in Kim Jun Myeon's room, listening to what Lee Seung Hwan had said, and they were all a little surprised.

"I feel like there wasn't anything wrong with the stage these past two days, how did he suddenly fracture a bone He's done so many flips before and nothing happened..."

It was probably the heavy rain yesterday. The landing spot wasn't quite right when I hit the ground.

Yesterday, Junmian said that it was raining and to stop doing this action. Tao insisted that he was a professional, ah jjia, I found that you really shouldn't just say things like that casually.

"This year we're really kind of cursed, you know"

Members were all buzzing with discussion. As bystanders, they personally experienced the stage and it felt like nothing out of the ordinary was happening, everything went smoothly, and suddenly a fracture was discovered.

Moreover, I don't even know how many times I fell during practice. It always just bounced off without a problem. This time, I didn't even fall and something went wrong.

But since things have come to this, there's no point in saying anything more. After chatting for a while, they each went back to their own rooms.

According to the agent, a fibula fracture is considered a relatively minor type of fracture. If it heals well, it can take about a month at the earliest, and a little longer could be around a month and a half.

This timing of Tao's injury really isn't good. The next EXOSTOWN show is on the 18th in Shanghai, and EXO's next tour concert isn't until November 11th. Even if he recovers as quickly as possible, it might be a bit too rushed.

If so, EXO will definitely have to rearrange the missing member's choreography and positions again. Although it won't be a complete overhaul, it will still be a fairly large amount of work, and these few days will definitely involve overtime.

Ji Jingyuan lay in bed staring at the ceiling, his brows furrowed and his expression somewhat grim. It wasn't that he cared about overtime or not; such things were nothing to him. He had once missed a concert due to an injury, causing the other members to work extra hours to rehearse, so he had no complaints about this.

But this time, tao's sudden injury gave him a rather bad feeling.

The next day, when the exo team flew back to the peninsula with their staff, s company released two consecutive announcements that morning at 6 o'clock.

The previous announcement stated that EXO member Tao will be absent from the next family concert due to health issues.

He didn't specify his injuries; there was no need, and it could easily lead to speculation and attacks from haters.

This message didn't attract much attention. An excuse for leave due to illness is not very compelling and lacks the buzz factor, far from as eye-catching as when Chi Jingyuan had an accident some time ago.

And tao's popularity in xo has always been hovering around the bottom tier, and he doesn't have many fans either. However, after the news came out, it also allowed many xo fans to express their blessings to him, hoping for his early recovery and so on.

After all, he is a member of EXO. No matter how popular he is individually, the group's fame is undeniable.

However, the next announcement was what truly sparked outrage among some people.

The company announced on the 6th morning that the girl group Red Velvet will return with their second digital single "benatural" on October 13th. The song is a cover of the title track from the mini-album of the same name released by legendary girl group S.E.S. in 2000.

This song's style is more inclined towards 'velvet' compared to the 'red' of their debut song, ''.

It also stated that Red Velvet will record their comeback stage on the 9th and release a teaser video, with the official audio release on the 13th.

This trailer itself isn't anything special, just a normal one.

But if we look at the case of Zheng Xiu-yeon's withdrawal from the group a few days ago on September 30th, it becomes quite intriguing.

As soon as the news broke, the young fans who had been unable to vent their anger finally found a target. They united and turned the tide against Debbi, causing a wave of resistance online against her.

"Damn, you bastard!"
