Chapter 5: Joining

or many days in preparation for the stage.…………On October 1st, the Seoul Jamsil Stadium had already been transformed into a concert template. While the audience hadn't arrived yet, groups were already...One important point about trainees is to have good judgment. When Li Xiuman and Lee Seung-hwane pushed the door open, looking like they had something to announce, LAY, who was dancing near the door, immediately stopped and bowed several times to greet them before hurriedly running aside to turn off the music playing on his phone. 。Hearing the noise, the other members who were practicing their dance and the two managers who were chatting in the corner also stopped. They all came over to bow to Lee Soo-man and Lee Seung-hwan, then looked at Ji Kyeong-won behind them without saying a word. 。Ji Jingyuan returned the greeting, while Li Xiuman lightly nodded. Looking at the eleven EXO debut members standing in front of him, a smile appeared on her face as she praised: "Everyone has worked very hard! That's good, just keep working hard to become an excellent artist." 。After a formal compliment, Lee Soo Man got straight to the point, pointing at Ji Sung Won and announcing to everyone: "The company has made a new decision, to have Ji Sung Won join the EXO project for a large-scale male group." 。When Lee Soo-man talked about himself, Ji Kyeong-won bowed to the crowd. 。

Before the combination, the sub-teams will be adjusted, with Jingyuan joining EXO-K and Baekhyun transferring from EXO-K to EXO-M. The captain of EXO-M will change to LUHAN.

Originally, Kris was a member, but he has since left the project. He will remain as a trainee at the company waiting for opportunities. 。Before, Kris participated in the filming of the debut MV, but it was scrapped and reshot with new members and a regrouping. The company will immediately make a shooting plan. The previously confirmed debut schedule and the public release time of the debut promo video remain unchanged. Keep working hard. 。Whenever Li Xiuman mentioned someone's name, his gaze would immediately shift to that person. LUHAN and Baekhyun, who were called out by name and stared at, both looked a little nervous as they bowed and nodded, indicating that they understood. 。

Li Xiuman quickly explained the situation. Even though this sudden "airdrop" incident surprised and even panicked everyone, after Li Xiuman finished speaking, they immediately bowed to show that there was no problem, no questions or resistance.

"Good, SUHO will help the members and new member get to know each other, then continue training. The new shooting plan will be released soon, and the dormitory adjustments will be arranged by the manager." 。Having said that, Lee Soo-man gently patted Chi Kyung-won's shoulder who had been standing beside her the whole time without saying a word. With her eyes, she motioned to the three managers beside her to go outside with her. 。Lee Soo-man seemed to see the anxiety in the members' hearts, and finally added a comforting sentence: "This is the last change before debut." 。Then he walked out. 。And the three agents each made eye contact with a member, then followed Lee Soo-man out. 。The door closed, and Li Xiuman led the three people a little further away, to a small conference room. He reined in some of his smile, but didn't take it all back. He instructed the three agents, "Because of the new member joining, you must maintain team stability. I don't want to see any trouble." 。"。Three agents immediately assured 。"Chi Jingyuan's dance foundation is very good. Cheng Huan, you immediately arrange a special dance teacher for Chi Jingyuan to have intensive training, just Shen Ziyuan. I will tell him." 。And quickly teach him the dance moves of several songs on the album. Make sure he reaches the stage standard as soon as possible. Report his progress to me every day so the company can make plans. 。"

" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! 。Lee Xiuman spoke to Lee Seonghwan, received a reply, and then looked at the third manager, Zhao Yalin: “According to the agreement, Jingyuan will go home today to pack his belongings and officially move into the dormitory tomorrow. After you go back, arrange the dormitory and living arrangements.” 。"

" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! 。Zhao Yalin nodded in agreement. 。"That's right, that's how it is. I know this decision came suddenly, but the company made it after careful consideration. I believe with your experience, you can handle this unexpected situation. Just do your best and don't let EXO's debut plans be affected." 。After Li Xiuman had finished speaking, he nodded and led the way out. 。

But he hadn't taken two steps when it seemed like he remembered something and turned back. He gave the three agents a somewhat serious reminder: "The situation with the new recruit, Chi Jingyuan, is a bit special, so you need to be tactful. The management methods need to be carefully chosen. He's not a difficult child, I believe you guys can do well.

"Don't worry, Director. " 。Hearing this, a look of understanding flashed in the eyes of the three agents, and they immediately said: 。

Li Xiuman was finally at ease and left leisurely.

Three agents looked at each other, lead agent Lee Seung-hyeon shrugged. 。

It's a matter of public knowledge, isn't it

To be able to debut without any trainee experience, joining the company on the first day in a ready-to-debut state, and even allowing the company to modify an already confirmed and implemented debut plan, replacing a member who had already filmed their debut video and MV. Such a newcomer, even if Lee Soo Man didn't say anything, how could these managers not see it

‘However, this connection seems to be unlike any other…’

The three managers walked back, each beating their own drum in their hearts.

As the door closed, only Park Gyung-won and 11 EXO members were left in the practice room. 。The atmosphere instantly became heavy, the entire practice room filled with a tense air. All that could be heard was the sound of some light breathing. 。This is the fatigue left from dancing during practice just now. 。

During the practice, one person stood on one side while eleven others lined up opposite them. Both sides stared at each other, the atmosphere was tense with awkwardness.

EXO's members each have different looks in their eyes, most are scrutinizing and suspicious, some even have piercing expressions of displeasure.

While being scrutinized by everyone's curious eyes, Chi Jingyuan seemed oblivious to anything amiss. He narrowed his smiling eyes and, without any sign of fear, surveyed each member before him with the same intensity, his gaze sweeping across each person's face as he assessed them.

Although he wore a smile on his face, there was no emotion in his eyes. 。
