On January 31, the Seoul Music Awards were officially held at the SK Olympic Handball Arena in Seoul Olympic Park, and Team K was invited to participate.

This is the last of the four major awards ceremonies in the music industry, and it is also one of the two awards ceremonies with the highest gold content, which is similar to the Golden Disc Awards.

Like other award ceremonies, the organizers still prepare an artist seat, and all the participating artists will be seated in the artist seat, and various reactions will be filmed while live streaming and awarding awards.

However, the artist seats of this award ceremony are not horizontal seats like MAMA, but a dozen or so white round tables are set up on the left side of the stage, and each round table is seated by one or several groups of artists.

There were flowers and drinks on the table, but there was no food that all the entertainers needed most.

But no one eats on such an occasion.

EXO sat around a round table at the end of the artist booth, with the audience behind him. It's a seat that a newcomer should be in.

The table in front of them to the left is Sistar, in the front right is F(x) and Missa, and SJ is sitting at the front table.

With the announcement of award presenters Kim Woo-bin and Park Se-young, the audience's cheers and applause rang out, and all the members of the K team in the artist seat also stood up, showing surprise and joy at the right time, and bowed to the seniors next to them.

The surprise may have been acted, because they knew before they came that there was a great possibility of winning the award, but the joy was real, after all, each group of the newcomer award only had a chance to win it in the year of its debut, and it expired.

The newcomer award at the Seoul Music Awards is very good, and winning this award is a recognition of EXO.

It may also be that the newcomer group that debuted in the same year is really a bit average, so that EXO, which was not a successful debut, can win several newcomer awards.

Of course, it is estimated that it has a lot to do with the operation behind SM Company.

It is estimated that there were many EXO fans at the scene, and after announcing their award, the cheers were still quite loud, and the six members of Team K stood up and congratulated their seniors on the side.

Because after the award was announced, the camera was pointed at this side in a timely manner, and the etiquette of several members was in place, bowing all the way and slowly walking out of the artist seat.

Ji Kyung-won was the last, with Oh Se-hoon in front and Park Chanyeol in front.

Out of courtesy, the senior artists of the other companies all stood up to congratulate, and a few people from F(x) did seem to be really happy for them, and Luna kept clapping and giving a few thumbs up as she passed by the table.

Cui Xueli seemed to be quite familiar with Park Chanyeol, and stretched out two hands to high-five him, but Park Chanyeol didn't see it when he saluted with the seniors on the other side, so Shirley slapped him directly on the back, and then raised his hand with Wu Shixun and Ji Jingyuan behind him.

She smiles quite sweetly, and with her short ear-length hair, it feels good.

The two naturally would not waste the kindness of their predecessors, after Wu Shixun and her high-fived, Chi Jingyuan also raised his hands and 'snapped' Sydney' to high-five, and after finishing the matter, the other party smiled sweetly and patted him on the back.

This senior seems to be really enthusiastic, and he seems to like them EXO, Ji Jingyuan can see it from the last MAMA awards.

After taking the stage, he stood in a row in front of the microphone, Ji Jingyuan automatically stood at the very edge, and the acceptance speech was still spoken by Jin Junmian.

He may have been told by his agent this time, and after thanking a circle of people, Kim Junmian mentioned their upcoming return to the new album: "Once again, I sincerely thank you, we are also preparing for the new album in 2013, one of the title songs is written and choreographed by our own member Yuan, please look forward to it." ”

The screams in the audience suddenly became much louder, and many artists looked at the stage with surprise when they heard the news.

And Ji Jingyuan, who was standing on the side, was also pushed by Wu Shixun and pushed down the position of the microphone, Jin Junmian stretched out his hand to him and motioned for him to say a few words.

"Inside, thank you all for your support, EXO, it is our honor to receive this award, and I would like to share this honor with our EXO-M members."

Ji Jingyuan stood in front of the microphone without stage fright, and began to speak with a smile under the gaze of all the audience and many artists below: "This time the company and the members have put a lot of effort into the new album, and we will continue to work hard to become the best group, thank you." ”

"We are one, we are EXO-K, thank you." In the end, everyone shouted the slogan neatly, and the audience ended in cheers.

…………

The next day, there was news that EXO was about to return on the Internet, and one of the title songs, created by Ji Jingyuan, was also on the hot search for a while.

But the reviews aren't that good.

In addition to EXO's own fans, who were very happy and desperately spoke on the forum to encourage and express their expectations, fans and passers-by of other groups expressed their incomprehension, and their fierce attitudes directly ridiculed.

They have never heard of Ji Jingyuan's creative ability, and the people of the peninsula have never had any supportive attitude towards idol's own behavior of creating songs, and in the stereotype, idols just sing and dance on stage, and it is more appropriate for professionals to do this kind of thing.

Unless the quality of the work is very good, the song is very popular will change the public's perception, such as Bigbang's GD, his image in the eyes of the public is no longer an ordinary idol.

In general, most passers-by are not optimistic about the return plan of the title song composed by Ji Jingyuan.

However, the degree of discussion caused is not small, and it can be regarded as an exposure and warm-up.

"Wow, you won the Golden Disc and the Seoul Music Awards Newcomer Award, it's really amazing."

On the second day after returning from winning the award, Ji Jingyuan received a congratulatory text message from Jiang Shiqi.

"In terms of results alone, we have no advantages other than sales, and the company's operation is greatly credited."

Ji Jingyuan replied truthfully.

"Each portfolio of companies must have operations, and winning awards is a reflection of strength...... I heard you're coming back? ”

"Inside, it should be May or June, I've been preparing for more than ten days, and I'm just tired ......"

"Wow, what a envy......"

Chi Jingyuan sat on the floor of the practice room and rested, while sending messages to Jiang Shiqi.

The teammates next to them are also doing their own things, taking advantage of this time to rest for a while.

They've just come back from the studio, and they're going to do the Wolf dance later.

The dance of this song was their biggest challenge during this time to prepare for the new album.

However, after more than ten days of practice, they can be regarded as entering the state, and the movements and beats of the dance have all been memorized.

Although every time the members practice, they will sigh and shout that they are tired, but everyone is very serious and dedicated when practicing, and even the members who have a poor dance foundation have been persevering.

Everyone is holding back their energy and has great expectations for this return.

Especially after listening to the demo of Roar.

I still remember that after the meeting that day, they went to the music room under the guidance of the teacher, and listened to all the songs included in the return album, and the first thing they heard was the two title songs.

"Wolf" is okay, a pure dance song does not feel like a dance match, but "Roar" is different, just a prelude sounds, a strong sense of rhythm and a pleasant melody make everyone's eyes light up, and they look at each other in surprise.

After listening, they looked at Chi Jingyuan with a slightly different vision, and Wu Shixun ran to the side and slapped him a few words of sycophancy.

Although the members are not professional in music production, at least they can hear whether the song is good or not, and they also have some judgments about whether it can be sent out or not.

This song gave EXO a lot of confidence.

As soon as he sent two messages, suddenly Chi Jingyuan's mobile phone lit up, he looked at the screen, couldn't help pursing his lips, and said to the members 'I'll make a call' and walked out of the practice room.
