The EXO-M team flew to Thailand on April 12 to participate in a platter concert on the 13th.

Team K stayed on the peninsula.

Although there is only Team M, this is also the first time that EXO has officially appeared on the live stage for more than three months.

The last time it was held was at the Seoul Music Awards on January 31.

This time, although the song performed was still "MAMA", anyone who followed EXO could see that the hairstyles and makeup of the members of Team M had all changed, and they looked very different from last year's debut.

Although few passers-by cared, it caused a sensation in the fan club.

The official change of makeup means that EXO is getting closer and closer to returning, and many EXO fans have begun to become active, and the fans who have been diving incognito for a long time have bubbled up in the group chat, expressing their expectations for the return of their idols.

After the platter concert on the 13th, Team M rushed to Xia Guo and recorded a stage for a music billboard.

At this time, Chi Jingyuan, who was lazy in the practice room with the members of Team K, suddenly sent a message on his mobile phone:

"Do you have time, come out for a meal."

…………

Looking at Zheng Endi, who was sitting opposite him, drinking soju non-stop, Ji Jingyuan sighed lightly.

Because Team M is not there, it is not interesting for K to practice by himself, and the progress of album preparation has exceeded the company's expectations, and he has suddenly been idle a lot these days.

Chi Jingyuan, who had time, made an appointment to come out at a time and place after receiving the text message.

It's about a small restaurant in Mapo District, the store is very small, and the decoration is average.

Zheng Endi's face didn't look very good when they met, and after ordering the food and asking, 'Why did you dye your hair like this?', he began to complain.

It turned out that one of the members of Apink, Hong Yujun, was about to quit the group.

I heard Zheng En say that it was because the other party and the company had disagreements on some things, and the parents increased the conflict when communicating with the company, and in the end they got into trouble, and the two sides could not reconcile, and in the end they could only withdraw from the group.

She said that her mood was obviously not very good at this time, and she was a little depressed.

may have something to do with the sudden withdrawal of Hong Yujun, a sister who has a good relationship, but more of it is a confusion about the future of her combination.

The withdrawal of members from the group is quite a damage to any group on the peninsula, even if it is a bordered member who is not popular.

Unless your group itself doesn't have any popularity, others haven't even heard of your group's name, and a few people don't know it, then there's no loss.

Although Apink debuted and won all the newcomer awards, it has been unpopular for the past 1 year, and the last two returns have not been very effective, and suddenly another member has withdrawn, and the prospects of the group have become a lot darker for a while.

Zheng Eunji, who came from the countryside of Busan, has always been very ambitious, and he has been in a bad mood recently after knowing the news.

She didn't want to hear any comfort, she just found someone who could say anything to vent her emotions.

Zheng Endi drank a lot of wine, drank several bottles one by one, his face slowly turned red, and after a few glasses of wine and a phone call, his mood looked a lot better.

"Do you drink?"

Zheng Endi asked with a wink, and then patted his head: "Oh, I forgot, you are not an adult yet." ”

"I'm not from Peninsula, and I've been drinking since I was very young, but I don't really want to drink today, then again...... Are you an adult? ”

Jung Eun-di is a year older than him and is an adult this year, but the Peninsula coming-of-age ceremony has not yet arrived.

And looking at her proficiency in drinking, it is estimated that it will not be a day or two.

"Privately, no one cares, this shop is owned by a friend of mine...... And who really didn't drink alcohol before adulthood, have you ever seen it? ”

Zheng Endi waved his hand and explained.

She is right, as a big drinking country, although the peninsula stipulates that minors cannot drink, there are not many people who really abide by it, and in recent years, the management has not been strict, and many supermarkets have blatantly sold alcohol.

EXO often drinks some in private, but as an artist, he must not be exposed, which will cause a bad impact, so he needs to pay attention to the secretiveness of drinking.

Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips and ate two bites of rice,

I had been listening to Zheng Endi complaining before, and I waited until she was in a better mood before starting to eat, but he was actually quite hungry.

"Have you been in contact with Nun lately?" After returning to normal, Zheng Endi began to chat casually.

"No, what's wrong?"

Chi Jingyuan swallowed a mouthful of food, looked at her and asked calmly.

"Ice, you're a ...... person"

Seeing the other party's indifferent face, Zheng Endi couldn't help but scold: "She probably still thinks about you...... Recently, the company approached MBC for the variety show "We Are Married", and the first choice was Naen, but she didn't seem to want to go. “

"Later, the company considered that the participating members would be attacked by the man's fans, and Naen's own tolerance was not very strong, so it finally decided to let the other members participate."

"By the way, the man should be a member of SHINee."

"...... like this"

Chi Jingyuan nodded and commented as a bystander: "I've watched a little bit of this variety show, it's quite boring to shoot, it's good not to go." And SHINee's fans are really crazy, and they must be scolded very badly when they go on this show, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"You don't have ......"

Zheng Endi asked tentatively.

"............" Chi Jingyuan shrugged his shoulders and did not speak.

Zheng Endi had already known Chi Jingyuan's character, so he didn't say anything more, and after eating for a while, he talked about his return.

"You're coming back, wow, I didn't look carefully just now, your hair color is really distinctive." Zheng Endi's eyes focused on Ji Jingyuan's hair again.

"Well, at the end of May, what about you?"

"This happened when we first started the project, and now some choreographers are going to do it again, so it should be in July or August."

"Come on.

"Inside, I hope we can all succeed in this return, fighting!"

…………

As we move into May, the date for EXO's official return is getting closer.

By the end of April, the preparations for the album were almost complete, and the members had a much easier time than before.

However, after entering May, they suddenly became nervous again, and resumed practicing late every day.

The return time has been determined, and on the 16th, the group returned to the promotional photos on the Internet, and on the 17th and 19th, the concept makeup photos of the individual members were announced one after another.

A teaser video was released on the 23rd, and on the 30th, the teaser video was released. The Tdown performance returned to the first stage, and the music source was officially released on June 3rd.

The company will also officially invest a lot of resources in publicity during this time, and carry out various hype and warm-up before the return.

As the return time gets closer and closer, the tension in my heart is getting stronger and stronger, both the company and the members have too much hope for this return, especially the members, who are becoming more and more anxious when it comes to the end.

After just a few days of idleness, they couldn't rest, and spontaneously began to practice overtime, in order to achieve a point of excellence for the return of "Wolf", and make the already uniform group dance more uniform.

The company also added a special choreography to the opening of the first stage, and sent a special staff member to check EXO's stage performance and provide various points of guidance on their shortcomings.

Over time, this tension has continued unabated.
