s, her expression a mixture of surprise and astonishment.This girl is quite clever. She didn't blurt out anything like "Aren't you mistaken We've met before" which would have been awkward.She only gl..., the Peninsula asteroid

"Your return this time has been quite good."

Ji Jingyuan held a bag in one hand, containing five or six cups of drinks. With the other hand, he held an ice lemon tea and took a sip, glancing at Zheng Eundi beside him.

"Well, do I need to say anything Our app has been making waves lately." Jung Eun-ji, also carrying a bag of drinks, chuckled and didn't shy away from the praise at all.

Today is Sunday, the 18th. EXO-K came to SBS to record Inkigayo. At the backstage, Jiyoung met APK who was also there to promote their music. There was still some time before rehearsal, so after a few words, he and Jung Eunji had nothing to do, so they decided to go buy drinks for the members. They chatted all the way back.

"How many one's are there"

"I already have seven, and now I have eight after getting this one today."

She had obviously memorized them beforehand, spitting them out effortlessly.

"Oh, isn't that past the era of Girls' Generation They came back with four or five members last time..."

Ji Jingyuan's eyes widened in shock as he scanned her from head to toe, as if meeting Jeong Eun-ji for the first time. He said in disbelief, "Could it be that you're going to become the next girl group Jeong Eun-ji"

"What are you talking about You're still far off... but it's also possible, ahhahahahaha..."

She stifled a laugh twice but couldn't help it. Jung Eun-ji grinned and let out a hearty laugh. After two laughs, she seemed to realize that her laughter was a bit unrestrained, so she quickly covered her mouth with her hand to muffle the sound, but the laughter continued. It was clear she was really happy.

After laughing for a while, she glanced at Chi Jingyuan with a twinkle in her eye. She squeezed her brows and winked at him, extending her index finger to her mouth and making a 'shh' sound, as if signaling him to keep this huge secret safe and not let anyone else know.

Chi Jingyuan also raised an eyebrow, indicating he was reassured and that he had it covered.

Two friends, their relationship very close, chatted and laughed as they walked towards the backstage. They burst into laughter from time to time, attracting the attention of passersby.

When they stand together, their heights don't look harmonious at all. They don't look like a couple at all.

"What was that TV drama called again... something trot... How is it going When is it airing"

Chi Jingyuan lightly nodded at the idol not far away who was waving to him proactively, then retracted his gaze and asked a question.

"You're really popular, aren't you This is how many times already" Jung Eun-ji glanced at the female idol, provokingly looking at Ji-sung for a moment and snorted: "It's really thanks to the fact that there haven't been so many girl groups coming back these past two days, otherwise you would have been surrounded as soon as you stepped out!"

After a pause, she continued, "It's called 'Lover Trove,' and I collaborated with senior actor Ji Hyun-woo on it. The filming progress is pretty fast, and it's already confirmed to air on June 23rd, taking over from 'Biggan.'"

"Why do we need other girl groups to come back Just now, didn't your apk already surround me" Ji Jingyuan shrugged and looked at her in confusion.

“…………”

Jung Eun-ji gave him a white look, but didn't seem annoyed. She thought for two seconds and smacked her lips: "You're right, after all, it is n, it's indeed quite popular... In my opinion, I won't mention Naeun, but if you go after the two maknae of our group, your success rate would definitely be over eighty percent."

“Shouldn't it be 100%”

Ji Jingyuan chuckled lightly, before his expression shifted, he curled his lips and scoffed: “Speaking of which, your resources in the film and television industry are really good. The benefits from “Reply 1997” should have been fully enjoyed, how can you still receive scripts continuously”

"Oh, who finished the red envelope"

Jung Eun Ji's eyes widened as she listened, staring at Ji Chang Wook with gritted teeth and emphasizing each word: "That's because Noona's acting is getting better and better. She's been widely recognized in the film and television industry, and she's already a successful young actress..."

"Great, great, getting better and better."

Chi Jingyuan gave a perfunctory nod, unable to clap with both hands full. He patted his arms twice as a substitute and then turned his head, lowering his voice, "How shameless."

"Bang."

Ji Jingyuan's back was slapped hard. He turned his head and saw Zheng Endi's dead fish eyes filled with murderous intent: "You think I didn't hear"

"What's the point of hearing it Should we go for it or not, young actors!"

Chi Jingyuan glanced at her provocatively, spoke quickly in a string of words before quickening his pace and running to the back stage XO resting room. He turned back with a wink, looking fearless.

"Oh, you..." Jung Eun-ji looked at Park Ji-won with a playful irritation, then couldn't help but laugh herself. She squinted and grinned at him, waving from the entrance of the practice room: "I received the support truck, thanks! Dinner's on you next time."

"Understood, young actor."

"Die."

After a heated exchange, the two of them slammed their doors and retreated to their respective dressing rooms.

As soon as he returned to the break room, Ji Jingyuan discovered that someone he knew was visiting and laughing with the other members about something.

Huang Guangxi, a member of the group Empire's Son, is one of the C positions in Inkigayo. I've seen him many times before.

"Jingyuan, soohedoctor!"

Huang Kwang Hee heard the voice and turned to see Ji Kyeong Yuan. He enthusiastically sang the first line of the chorus of "Overdose" and did a step of their choreography.

His over-the-top actions and expressions, however, aren't annoying coming from him. Instead, they make it seem like he genuinely loves the song.

"Haha." Ji Jingyuan laughed heartily, greeted them with a wave, and then handed the drinks he bought to Huang Guangxi and several other members.

After debuting in 2010, the group "Son of the Empire" didn't see much success. Despite releasing several albums, they failed to gain traction and their popularity remained stagnant. The members started to lose faith in the group and began pursuing individual careers.

But unexpectedly, every single one of them turned out to be doing quite well. Several became actors, and Huang Guangxi, thanks to his humor and ability to make any joke, became a beloved figure on variety shows. He's very open and uninhibited, even joking about his plastic surgery! His carefree attitude earned him a lot of fans, and he has since become a regular host and guest on many variety programs. In the entertainment industry, he’s truly thriving.

This guy seems to be a real EXO fan. He's always super enthusiastic when we meet, and he always proactively performs a recent hot song by EXO. Just looking at his performance, you'd think he was the leader of an EXO fan club.

"Jingyuan, you said you prepared a special program for the concert"

Huang Guangxi took the drink and thanked him, then patted Ji Jingyuan on the shoulder and looked at him with a smile.

"Bro, that's for the fans," Ji Jingyuan laughed and didn't ask how he knew. It wasn't a secret anyway. Several members in the room had heard it countless times while he was practicing.

I am a fan of XO.

He said it naturally, to prove he was right he put his drink aside, squinted his eyes and tried again: "Soohedoctor."

"Haha…"

Those around were amused, clapping and cheering.

After chatting together for about fifteen minutes, Hwang Kwang Hee bid farewell. Park Chan-lyeol and Kim Jun Myeom, who were also there, saw him off.

After coming back, Park Chan-wook suddenly remembered and looked around, asking, "By the way, have you guys watched the premiere of 《rooate》"

"I saw it." Kim Jun Myeon raised his hand to show his support for the member's variety show afterwards.

"That's right, I also saw it." This was Wu Shixun.

"Geez, you guys haven't even watched Hyung's variety show I've promoted it in the dorm like a dozen times already!" Park Chan-yeol looked at the remaining three members with displeasure. This was his first time being a regular cast member on a variety show, and he had to admit he put quite a bit of importance into it.

"I've been very busy lately," Do Kyung-Soo quickly explained.

"I'm so busy, really."

Chi Jingyuan immediately nodded in agreement and said sincerely, "I don't even have time to watch our team's matches."

To be honest, he watched both of them, but didn't really get into either. He opened them up and watched for a few minutes before closing them.

Exo's second group variety show "Hot Moment xoxo" also aired its first episode on the evening of May 16, the day after their comeback.

Ji Jingyuan also took some time to check it out, but what can I say, this time the effort put into the four-episode variety show is much less than the first one, "EXO's Show Time." Whether it's the production team's ability or the overall planning, it's all so lacking.

In the first episode, he dragged the progress bar to skim through it. From beginning to end, he boasted about XO's achievements over the past year, showering them with praise that was extravagant and excessive. He even sounded a bit embarrassed by his own effusive compliments.

It's more like a promotional video that incorporates some private interviews with XO members, rather than a genuine collaboration.

As for Park Chan-wook's "Roate," he also watched it, but after a while, he found it too boring and didn't finish watching it.

"Oh well," Looking at the way these members were acting halfheartedly, Park Chan-leek also lost his patience and just sat down on the couch with his drink.

"By the way, ChanYeol, how are the ratings" Kim Jun Myeon asked, looking over.

"The premiere was at 6%, the second episode rose to 6.8%, which is average, but the fan stickiness and discussion rate are still pretty good, there's still a lot of room for improvement in the future."

"How did the guests get along You were the maknae in there, weren't you"

"It's alright, everyone is quite polite. After all, it's a collaboration, so we just need to cooperate."

After thinking about it for a moment, Park Chan-nyeol described her in a more objective way, then his expression changed, and he wore a mysterious smile: "But Nana is really pretty."

"When I met him on the show before, I felt the same way, do we need to exchange contact information" As soon as this topic came up, Kim Jong-in and Woo Shi-hun immediately became interested. Even Ji-seong, who was originally sipping his drink and playing with his phone, turned his gaze over.

Nana, whose real name is Lin Zhina, is a member of the girl group After School. She is also a member of Orange Caramel, a subunit that enjoys even greater popularity than the main group.

Originally, Nana's popularity was just decent. However, recently, a well-known film website in the United States released a list of the 100 most beautiful faces in the world. To everyone's surprise, Nana ranked second on the list, immediately sparking heated discussions among netizens.

This list isn't really standardized or authoritative. To be ranked so high, it probably involves communication with agencies or perhaps insider operations. Even though we know this, the list still has a certain allure and attracts countless eyeballs.

With the title of "World's Second Most Beautiful" boosting her popularity, nana quickly rose to fame, with her popularity and heat skyrocketing. She became a hot topic of discussion.

It's strange, she looks the same as always, still the same Nana. But after being called "Second Most Beautiful," for some reason, she seems even more attractive than before, with a new kind of aura.

But actually, she was already pretty good-looking. After adding a layer of aura, it naturally added another layer of filter. XO, we've discussed her several times in private.

"Of course." Park Chan-wook smiled politely.

How is your figure

"That's really saying something, the members of afterschool all have great figures..."

"Then, brother, don't you introduce yourself"

"We just exchanged contact information, it's too soon to ask for anything. Let's get to know each other better first..."

…………

Because there weren't any strong competitors, Music Bank’s #1 spot unexpectedly went to apk today. This means their comeback stage is fixed at the 8th win for this round of promotions.

It's no wonder that before, Ji Jingyuan and Zheng Eundi joked when they were chatting that they would be the next girl group because they are really hot right now.

It's a shame that while it's all in good fun, the actual gap is still quite obvious. This time around, the mini-album sales for APK have only reached about 50,000 to 60,000 copies so far. While that's pretty good for a girl group, it's still a ways off from Girls' Generation. Even with their significant drop this time, they still managed to sell over 200,000 copies.

Even though there are rumors circulating constantly about his love life, sone are still incredibly loyal.

Moreover, whether an idol group can become a successful unit really depends on the company's management. It's not just about their achievements or the quality of their songs.

Looking at the jubilant Jung Eun-ji and Son Na-eun on stage, and a few others, Ji-Kyeong smiled inwardly, sending them her blessings.

Good luck!

After the recording of "人氣歌謠" ended, K-team went on several other schedules. After having a meal, they rushed to BC at around 11:59 PM to prepare for the recording of "Golden Fishery".

Given the current time and the program's total broadcast length of over an hour, even if the recording goes smoothly throughout, it would be around 4 or 5 in the afternoon. We might have to pull an all-nighter today.

However, for artists who are returning to the spotlight, pulling all-nighters is just a small matter. Because during the day there will be some commercial performances and interviews as well as other on-site activities. Therefore, many variety shows or radio recordings, or advertising shoots, will be scheduled in the evening, making every effort not to interfere with daytime activities, leading to artists working at night becoming a common occurrence.

Besides, the entire program crew and 4 C's didn't get any rest, naturally no one complained about anything. After all, they were already used to it.

The filming location for "Golden Fishing Ground" is in the studio on the second floor underground of BC. At this time, a group of staff members are setting up some scenery inside, and the PD, set workers, and writers are communicating beside them. A few C's are watching the script in the nearby lounge room.

"Hello."

When they arrived at the filming studio, the members of team K greeted C one by one. Just as they were bowing, SJ's Choi Siwon came up and patted Kim Minjae on the head with a smile: "Don't be so formal, let me introduce myself."

Since its premiere in 2007, "Golden Fishing Pond" has seen many celebrities take on the role of c. However, over the years, many have come and gone due to various reasons.

It's like Shin Jeong Hwan because of dubo, Liu Shi Yun because of drunk driving, Kim Hee Chul because of military service, and so on.

>Maybe because the feng shui here isn't very good, it seems like several people didn't have a good ending.

Currently, there are four Cs. Besides SJ member Choi Siwon, there's comedian Kim Gukjin and Kim Ji-ra, and musician Yoon Jongshin.

Kim Jula has also been forced to retire due to social incidents in the past, and only returned last year. He is known for being outspoken and his questions often lack tact, leading to a poor reputation. Many people find him unpleasant.

However, some viewers also like Kim Ji-ra's approach, and he is well aware that this is the foundation of his livelihood.

After introducing himself, Cho Kyuhyun grabbed a few members of Team K and sat beside them, starting a conversation. "Have you all read the script... Don't worry, don't be too nervous, just follow the script. There aren't any particularly straightforward questions in this episode."

"Even if there are some mistakes, the program team can edit them later."

Ji Chang Wook and Cho Kyuhyun have known each other for a long time, as they are both from the agency and often see each other. They have also participated in many family concerts together, so they are quite familiar with each other. For example, his relationship with Kim Jun Myeon is very good, and they often keep in touch.

"Bro, remember to get me some tickets for your musical 'Rain in the Rain'. I'll be there with the members to cheer you on." Kim Jun Myeon spoke in a very familiar tone.

"My musical is in June, don't you think I know you guys are having a concert in Xianguo then"

Cho Kyuhyun chuckled and patted him playfully: “I’ll give you a few later, remember to come when you have time, it's also like promotion for me.”

"Don't worry, brother," Kim Jun-myeon assured him.

Chi Jingyuan nodded in agreement, but secretly he was laughing.

He remembered that when Bern Baekhyun was performing in a musical last month, he had also called the members from their dorm. The members verbally agreed very well, just like now, but when it came time to actually go, there weren't many who showed up.

Others may not know this, but Chi Jingyuan is not very interested in the form and performance of musicals about the peninsula. He would rather make an appointment to watch a movie during that time.

I've been wondering lately if there are any good movies out there. "The Strange She" which came out earlier this year was pretty good.

After a brief chat, the venue on their side was also ready. The PD and the writer came over to pull several Cs and guests together to go over the script, rehearse the flow, and make a few explanations. Then they walked into the recording studio. With the camera started, at the PD's signal, they were ready to officially begin recording.

“We, who can make it happen with words, the highest quality of expressing your ideas!”

"You can listen to the TV radio star!"

To keep the buzz around Radio Star going, we also launched a "Hungry Dragon Hungry Dragon" chant to terrestrial TV stations today.

"Guests, whether they are idols or veteran actors, will keep smiling with the phrase 'hungry dragon hungry dragon'."

Welcome our 'hungry dragons, hungry dragons', EXO-K!

A few people recited the opening remarks with dramatic pauses, and the background music of "Rage" started playing. They shouted loudly to introduce today's guest, and the camera panned to the six members of Team K sitting next to them.

But at this moment, the six members of Team k didn't seem excited at all. They sat in their chairs with stiff expressions and forced smiles, giving a weak clap. Anyone could tell that the atmosphere was awkward.

"Why do you all look so unhappy Is it because XO doesn't want to come on our show 'Golden Fishing Ground'" Kim Jula took the lead, pretending to be angry and pointing at them.

“No, who wrote this opening speech” Cho Kyuhyun looked around in surprise.

"I wrote it, what's wrong with that" Kim Jula glared back resentfully.

"Roar" is already last year's song, why are you still "hungry dragon"

Cho Kyuhyun looked at him speechless: "Xiumin said a few days ago that EXO was back, this time to promote their new album 'Overdose', and he also mentioned something about 'Produce 101'. What's going on with 'Produce 101'"

"Yeah, I feel something's off too, but it's written in the script like this and there's nothing I can do about it."

“He hasn’t heard of “Addiction” being so popular these days This is our "Golden Fishery"’s C… Is he still stuck in time when he just returned to the program last year” Kim Gu-jin and Yoon Jong-shin, with disdainful expressions, each said a sentence, instantly distancing themselves.

"Jia" A look of surprise crossed Jin Jialai's face. She blinked awkwardly and turned towards the program crew, waving her hand quickly to signal them to cut the music.

After a few seconds, the accompaniment to 'Hungry Dragon' was abruptly cut off halfway and switched to 'Overdose'. Kim Jula heard this and instantly put on an expression as if nothing had just happened. She called out to the guests once again: "They have become the new boy group sensation. Even though only six members are present, their weight level is still world-class EXO-K!"

"Click click..."

Even though he shouted excitedly, the members only offered strained smiles and politely nodded while clapping lightly. They seemed very disappointed and unsatisfied with c's performance, creating a stark contrast between them.

"Well now, XO is really on fire these days, isn't he Their new comeback album is almost about to sell a million copies, right" Yoon Jong Shin clapped his hands together and then sighed with a sense of awe.

"Almost there, I should be there tomorrow." Park Chan-hyeok humbly lowered his head.

"Sigh, even though the entire market has been boosted by exo's influence and expanded, the only ones who can sell at this number now are you guys."

"Yin Zhongxin shook his head, then his expression changed: 'But our show isn't just about focusing on superficial things. What we're most interested in is the most real and private situations. Keyhyun, as a senior from s and definitely familiar with xo, right' "

"We know each other very well and see each other often."

Cho Kyuhyun smiled and nodded. "I had dinner with Suho and a few others just the other day."

"So today, you need to be clear about your position. As the c of our radiostar, if there are any hidden things when encountering xo, you must point them out."

A few people beside him were seriously staring at Cho Kyuhyun, while he was smiling wryly and looking left and right helplessly. After considering for a moment, he helplessly raised his hand and said: "If I really did that, PD Lee Soo Man would definitely kill me when we go back, because now he is the pillar of our company... I can only point out the answers that are too outrageous."

"Wait a minute, isn't sj the pillar of s" Jin Jula suddenly chimed in.

"That was so long ago, are you really still stuck in the past... Five years ago maybe."

"It could have been before enlistment."

"Maybe before her debut."

Hearing the continuous jabs from the two people beside him, Choi Siwon could no longer laugh. He forced himself to remain calm and sat stiffly, looking away.

"This is my first time coming to radiolstar, so let me introduce myself."

After a while of eerie yin and yang vibes, Yin Zhongxin started introducing the members of Team K with some data in hand:

"A networker who is well-connected with many people besides xo, but inside xo, he is an empty and powerless leader Suho!"

“…………”

"Expanding into variety and music composition, XO's convincing variety show representative, ChanYeol, who is mysteriously awkward no matter what he does!"

"..."

It's not a one-time introduction of all the members, but rather each member is introduced individually. When introducing a member, we delve into the origin of their nickname and share two interesting anecdotes about their behind-the-scenes life. The other members will also chime in with playful banter and teasing comments.

Several C's skills are indeed extraordinary. The K-Team members have prepared a lot for this variety show promotion, and the atmosphere is very good with their cooperation.

The Spiritual Chaos Decision

One lap completed, they arrived at Chi Jingyuan's place.

held the documents, glanced down at them briefly then smiled slyly at Ji Kyeong-won, raised his eyes and said loudly:

Finally, with no individual skills to showcase, the invisible captain of EXO, S.E.S.'s favorite, a talented idol with stage presence, and a boring, smiling specimen in variety shows, EXO's maknae... Yuan!

First published on the Chinese novel networkpatted Jin Junmian and Luhan beside him comfortingly. Just now, these two guys were also very excited, hugging his shoulders and talking for half a day, saying all the words they had kept in their hea...
