Chapter 162: Horse Stance

t her at all."Well, then... how about I transfer you to **"Jin Ma tried probingly, ""Oh my!"Kim Jisoo stomped her foot and shouted in dissatisfaction.What does that mean It feels like I'm about to giv..."qi~"

Hearing Ji Jingyuan praise his own good looks so matter-of-factly, Pei Zhuxuan's slight worry instantly flew out of the sky. She didn't bother looking in the mirror anymore, and with a rippling gaze, she glanced at him. She pretended to be annoyed, lightly baring her teeth, and snorted softly.

Mingming was so happy inside, her crossed little legs even swung back and forth.

Although Bae Ju-hyeon has been so busy lately that she's even swollen from lack of sleep, Ji Kyoung-won didn't say much to persuade her. This is just how it is during an idol's comeback period, especially since their album "Raide Bebe" is performing very well. You want Bae Ju-hyeon to rest more and not be so tired, but considering her strong work ethic, she probably wouldn't even listen. Although she complained a couple of times just now, you can tell that she's happy despite being exhausted.

After a few words, the staff came to notify the two MCs that there was a meeting.

Today Ji-yeong doesn't have much to do, but Joohyun has a lot going on. Besides her MC work, she still needs to prepare for the five days of Music Bank appearances following Red Velvet's comeback. This includes memorizing her lines, doing interviews, and pre-recording the main song stage.

After the meeting and going through today's script, Bae Joo-hyun hurried back to her dressing room to change clothes and prepare for the prerecording. It was still early, and some artists hadn't arrived yet. Ji-seong, having nothing to do, strolled over to the backstage exit and took a peek at Red Velvet's prerecording.

Although they have only returned for two days, their popularity seems to have increased considerably compared to before. The pre-recorded venue was packed, with many Red Velvet fans holding various cheering banners. It is said that many of them waited outside the door long in advance. Their support for Kang Seulgi and the others is no less than that of the Ailee fans back then.

The recording atmosphere was also very hot, and seeing the five members in their new outfits standing on the stage, the fans below were enthusiastic, with screams that almost never stopped.

It is indeed quite heartwarming. Red Velvet, who had a bad start and was criticized so harshly, finally managed to achieve the aura of a popular girl group through the company's efforts and their own hard work in this comeback.

Unfortunately, Red Velvet's debut stage outfits were that peculiar-looking set. The combination of a solid-colored top and five-color single-leg stockings was mocked online by many who found the single leg stockings very unappealing and the colors strange. Many couldn't accept it.

To be honest, Ji-yeong thinks that this outfit on Seulgi is actually quite good looking. The pink fishnet tights look very unique. Her legs aren't long, but they are round and plump, very symmetrical. She actually looks pretty good wearing tights.

Especially with the makeup she's chosen for her comeback and those black-rimmed glasses, she exudes a charm that is different from before.

In the 《dudu》MV, there are several outfits. After watching it, Ji Jingyuan actually liked this one the best.

"You still say you won't ink"

As the song entered its latter half, Bae Joo-hyun playfully tossed her hair towards the camera, batting her left eye seductively for a classic killing part. Ji Seong from backstage, remembering Bae Joo-hyun's previous confession that she wasn't very good at "ink," couldn't help but scoff and leaned against the wall.

Red Velvet recorded four times in total, but Park Ji-young left halfway through the second recording to prepare for tonight's broadcast.

……

The interview content is roughly what's written in the script. Take a look first, and you will record the interview with MonsterX later.

When it came to the afternoon, Ji Jingyuan arrived at Red Velvet's resting room. After greeting them, he handed the prepared interview script to Kang Seulgi and the others, while also giving them a few reminders.

"Okay, don't worry... It's fine now, right Come in and play for a bit. I haven't seen you in days."

Jiang Shiqi glanced at the script, grinned and gave an OK sign with her hand, then enthusiastically beckoned him in. Lydia Bebe's assistant, who had been sitting on the sofa next to her, immediately stood up and took a pre-bought drink from beside them and handed it to Chi Jingyuan. Then she found a stool in the corner and sat down.

"You guys are so busy with your schedules lately, of course you wouldn't see us who are just chilling in the dorm."

Having thanked the assistant, Ji Jingyuan took the drink and walked in. While making a playful remark, he secretly glanced at Jiang Shibaqi who was smiling awkwardly beside him.

Before, he heard from Pei Joo-hyuk that they had a fight and since then he's been very curious. He really wanted to see what this girl looked like when she was angry. He remembered that they had known each other for several years and he had never seen Jiang Seogi's furious look.

Looking at her giggling with puffed cheeks, Chi Jingyuan couldn't quite picture it.

"Crack, crack, crack…"

At this time, when Ji Chang-won entered, Sun Seung-wan and Kim Ye-lin, who had been playing something just now, ran over as if they had seen a target. They each held a long strip similar to a ruler in their hands and tapped their wrists on Ji Chang-won's face one by one, very mischievously. After playing for a while, seeing that Ji Chang-won was attracted, the two laughed together: "Hahaha, is it fun"

"What is this" Chi Jingyuan blinked, looking at the ruler in both of their hands.

"Oppa, this is the 'S' circle, it's a very important prop for our main stage performance this time!" Before Sun Sheng could finish speaking, Kim Yilin walked over with a smile and introduced it proudly.

This what the "pa-pa circle" is, it's just a long rectangle like a ruler. When you slap it on your wrist, it rolls up into a bracelet and hangs on your hand.

He said when he watched the pre-recorded footage, where did these people get those rulers from, it turns out they were using something like this.

But this is just a child's toy, I don't know how Sun Shengwan and Kim Yeol-in could be having so much fun with it. After the introduction, he demonstrated again: "Snap, snap, snap, hahaha..."

And Bae Joo-hyun was also smiling happily, standing beside watching this, but she didn't come over to chat.

"Isn't that interesting" Sun Shengwan patted it a few more times, then proudly took the slap circle from his hand and showed off: "Jingyuan, do you want it I'll give you a few!"

"Well... okay then."

Though he wasn't very enthusiastic, Ji Kyung-won still accepted the invitation from Son Seon-wan and Kim Ye-rin because they were so passionate.

"Oppa, what color do you want There are five colors." Before Sun Sheng could even move, Kim Yeol-rin took the initiative and quickly walked over to the side. She took a small box from the table and turned back to look at Ji Kyungsun with a smile.

"Well, pink…"

After a moment's thought, he blurted out, but after a second's pause, he added, "And blue as well."

"Hey, you've got good taste!" Sun Sheng sat down beside him on the sofa, his greasy face raising an eyebrow at him.

And when Bae Joo-hyun heard this, she also blinked her eyes and smiled beautifully.

After chatting for a while, the door was knocked on and pushed open. When I turned around, it was Girls' Generation's Kim Taeyeon and Hwang Me-young.

Girls' Generation's comeback has already entered its fourth week. They have swept most of the music shows with "Lionheart" this time, successfully winning nine first place awards. If it weren't for MBC "Music Core" not awarding a first place due to pre-recording and the DMC special recently, their achievements would be even greater.

"Why is your heart always wavering!"

"Hahaha..."

…………

"Yuan's expression is hilarious, like a student who was caught daydreaming in class."

"Kkk, you're right. Oppa dances this pretty well."

"The relationship between the seniors and juniors of the ** family is really good, this scene is so heartwarming, fans are thrilled!"

"Red Velvet is so cute, Irenekiyo~".

As expected, Girls' Generation’s encore stage on Music Bank quickly became a hot topic online after its broadcast. It was truly heartwarming to see three ** Entertainment groups performing together for an encore on one music show, and fans from all fandoms were excitedly discussing it.

While Chi Jingyuan was caught by two sisters and had no choice but to participate in the dance of "lionheart", many viewers jokingly commented on his participation. Even Ai Li found this scene very interesting when she saw it.

They had never really seen their oppa dance girl group choreography before, the last time they had a formal performance was probably going back to when Ji-sung's coming-of-age meeting was held, and leaked fan-taken photos of the "Coming-of-Age Ceremony" surfaced.

As expected of Oppa! Even his horse stance is so handsome!

Some people left comments under the video that even Li Jingyuan, when he saw them, blushed.

...While the news was buzzing online, and Red Velvet continued their fiery comeback, on September 12th night, the day after Music Bank aired, Ji Kyeong-won and his team, along with Kim Tae-yeon who rushed back from the DMC stage not long ago, gathered at the company. They were preparing to head to the airport shortly to fly to New Zealand and officially begin filming the MV for "I" song.

The original plan was to depart on the 13th, but as the scheduled departure date got closer and the journey would take a long time, it was decided to change the flight and leave a day earlier.

"Don't worry, Zhixiong. Just find a place to sit down first. We'll set off in a bit."

In the room, which was temporarily serving as a breakroom, Kim Tae-yeon was discussing something with casual dy. Meanwhile, Ji-seong spotted Kim Tae-yeon's brother, Kim Ji-hong, standing behind her, looking rather imposing. He walked up to them and greeted them with a smile.

Before, we already said that this MV will have Kim Tae-yeon's brother make a cameo appearance.

Okay, sounds good.

Kim Ji-hong nodded politely at the sight of Jiyeong, but he was still clearly nervous. Though he was older and a senior in their field, he felt somewhat awkward making eye contact with Jiyeong.

As the older brother of Girls' Generation's Kim Taeyeon, Kim Ji-seong is quite handsome. Looking at him, one can see a resemblance to Kim Taeyeon from many years ago, right when she first debuted. There's a bit of an "old lady" feel about him, but with a little grooming, he could definitely be an idol. It's clear that his family genes are quite good.

He is a little shy. He seems awkward when interacting with people other than his own sister.

"Right, Yuan, Yuanxi." After a few seconds, Jin Zhixiong suddenly spoke up, looking at Chi Jingyuan as if he was hesitating.

"Just call me Jingyuan," Chi Jingyuan said with a smile, waving his hand.

"Okay, good to meet you, Jingyuan." Feeling the other's goodwill, Jin Zhixiong also felt a lot more relaxed and followed up by changing his tone: "Can I get your autograph in a bit My girlfriend is your fan, she likes you a lot..."

"What are you talking about, brother Of course it's okay."

Ji-yeong immediately agreed and nodded with a smile. "It's my honor...and honestly, Taeyeon unnie could have just told me about this beforehand."

At this time, Kim Taeyeon ended the discussion about dy and saw the two people talking. She quickly rushed over, patted her own brother's shoulder, and said: "Oppa, don't be so surprised. My relationship with Jingyuan is very close, just relax a bit in private..."

Seeing Kim Ji-seong nod, Lee Tae-yeon let out a relieved sigh. She then smirked and added, "But when it comes to work, he's a different person. Jingyuan can be quite strict at work, so don't make him angry..."

"Huh Okay."

"Haha, I was just kidding, don't worry, it won't happen..."

"...".

Chi Jingyuan smiled beside them, watching the interaction between the siblings with amusement.

It feels like the roles between siblings have been reversed.

After a final check, everyone rushed to the airport and boarded the flight to New Zealand.

After several hours of travel, the plane finally landed at Auckland International Airport. After being tormented for so long, Chi Jingyuan's legs were shaky when he stepped off the plane and onto the ground.

His only thought was that at the time, it really shouldn't have chosen such a far place for the MV setting.

Before ** Entertainment sent staff to scout and prepare, they had already rented a car and were waiting at the airport. Everyone got on the bus together and drove towards the hotel they had booked in advance.

Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand and one of the most developed cities in the world. Its infrastructure is very well-developed, with skyscrapers lining the city center and CBD areas, bustling and advanced, with a construction style somewhat similar to Europe and America.

The ultra-modern cityscapes and scenic nature views captivated even the casual employees, including idols like Ji Chang Wook and Kim Tae Yeon. As soon as they got on the bus, they pressed their faces against the windows, gazing at the passing streets and police officers.

However, this time because of the filming needs and location, the hotel they stayed at was not in the city center but on the outskirts of downtown at Kingnd.

"This is a well-known residential community in Auckland. The Auckland City Rail Link West Line runs through here, and it's also the main route for most public transportation to the central business district (CBD)."

"If you walk near Kingnd, you can see many unique boutiques and a lot of cafes and restaurants with an American or European vibe. It gets very lively at night, so if you're interested, you can check it out in the evening."

"New Zealand's largest stadium, Eden Park, is also here, and it often hosts rugby matches or concerts...."

Along the way, the staff who had arrived earlier to prepare here vividly introduced the background and culture of this place to Ji Jingyuan and his group. While Ji Jingyuan was relatively indifferent, Jin Taeyeon seemed very interested.

After crossing through the city center, the surrounding buildings began to noticeably decrease in height. As I walked, all I could see were mostly two or three-story buildings nearby.

Because of the limited location, the hotel they stayed in was not very luxurious. It was a four-story hotel called TropicalCoast, and the decoration looked a bit outdated.

But this is already the best hotel around, and frankly, nobody really cares.

After arriving at the hotel, everyone who had just gotten off the plane first rested for a while. After several hours of recuperation, the team gathered again in the conference room provided by the hotel.

Has the car for shooting been checked There shouldn't be any problems, right

Ji Jingyuan and the director of this MV shoot, Li Shunxu, discussed quietly for a while. Then, looking at the staff beside them, Ji Jingyuan proactively asked:

This time, the main idea and concept for the MV shooting were all done by Ji Kyeong-won. The company has already informed Lee Sun-hyuk, his responsibility is to shoot and operate the camera.

"As per the company's request, we rented a brand new 2015 BMW 6 Series Convertible today. It is white, four-seater, and has an open top. The pictures were already sent to your agent previously. We just checked the vehicle condition and there are no issues."

(The End) have implicit requirements, and this is even more so if they are presented as 'military recruitment promotional films'. As soon as he heard the theme, Ji-seong knew that this highly invested drama by...
