Somehow, looking at the somewhat relieved young seniors, he suddenly inexplicably remembered another girl group, Kara.

As Kara, who debuted in the same year as his youth, he just debuted without a splash and was unknown, and the company did not support it and tried his best to squeeze it, which can be described as a collapse of the beginning.

However, after personnel changes, as well as perseverance, hard work, and luck and curling, they finally became one of the hottest first-line girl groups on the peninsula, and at the same time became more successful in the neon market, and overshadowed the girls' generation that had no rivals in the peninsula market.

Thanks to the neon market, kara should have been the most profitable girl group in the second generation of girl groups in the past few years, second only to Girls' Generation, when EXO debuted, they were still in full swing, and they could basically stand in the front row of C positions in any event, and they greeted Ji Jingyuan at several year-end award ceremonies.

It's a pity that at the beginning of 2014, because she was really dissatisfied with the company's oppression, member Nicole quit the group, which caused an uproar among kara fans.

Although there were only 4 people in Kara's debut, and there was a change of personnel in the morning, no one cared at that time. Later, when they became popular, there were 5 people, and there were 5 people who fought the country, and fans only recognized these 5 people.

Kara's 2013 performance on the peninsula has dropped a bit, and although she became the first girl group to appear at Tokyo Dome, the title song "Damaged Lady" of the peninsula's return unbelievably fell directly out of the melon chart.

If they can hold the neon market, they can also stabilize the decline, at least enough to provide for the elderly.

But Nicole's exit has dealt a fatal blow to the entire group, Kara's recent results are hard to describe, the sales that she has always been proud of are no longer advantageous, and the neon market is shrinking at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.

It is said that member Kang Ji-young also had a conflict with the company and may withdraw from the group soon, making matters worse.

Kara, one of the three major girl groups that debuted in 07, was the first to fall behind in 14 years, officially setting off the curtain of the collective decline of the second-generation girl group.

Kara has left the track, and now it's Girls' Generation......

Pei Xiuzhi smiled and took a trophy and began to express his feelings, while Ji Jingyuan quietly looked at the few familiar sisters on the right, and his thoughts were a little complicated.

Girls' Generation has become a symbol of the era with unparalleled national recognition on the peninsula, and the blood bar can be described as incomparably deep.

But no matter how thick the blood is, there will be a day when it will fall out, and this time it has declined significantly, both in terms of music sources and sales.

If the next album still can't be rejuvenated, or if the romance of a few more popular members is exposed, it will be really difficult.

Chi Jingyuan couldn't say that he was sad for them, but he was a little emotional.

After the encore stage ended, the two returned to the lounge, packed up their things, and Ji Jingyuan took the people to say goodbye and prepare to leave.

He followed behind Park Jae-hyun and his assistant, and was stopped by Bae so-ji as soon as he walked out of the lounge door.

Today is the last time their temporary group will play a song, and there will be no official joint activities after today.

Of course, there must be advertising shooting and some product platforms that need them together, and the momentum and achievements of "some", they will definitely often attend various activities together at the end of the year.

But at least in the last few days, it is estimated that it will not be seen.

Pei Xiuzhi stopped Chi Jingyuan after he walked out, looked at him with a smile for a few seconds, and then gently brushed his hair: "When are you free to go to dinner together?" ”

Her eating may be a little different from other people's, of course, it doesn't just mean eating, this is also a tacit understanding between the two directly, 'eating together' has become a hint that only Ji Jingyuan and Pei Xiuzhi understand in their hearts.

"Hehe......"

Chi Jingyuan's voice was a little hoarse and he laughed and said, "Let's talk about it when I get better from my cold." “

After leaving a sentence, he met the other party's eyes and turned around directly, shaking his hand behind him: "See you in two days." “

"Cut, the words are almost unclear, and you are still pretending to be handsome there......"

Pei Xiuzhi watched Ji Jingyuan's figure disappear around the corner, chuckled and pursed his lips, and staggered back into the lounge and closed the door.

………………

On March 16th, the singing activity of "Some" officially ended, but the brilliant results of this song are still continuing, and the song has been released on the 21st and has set a lot of staggering records so far.

Thirteen hits, one song.

Genie has broken the list 62 times, which is the first record to break the table since the establishment of the list.

It's been at the top of the genie charts for 242 hours since the song was released, and there are no strong competitors lately, so it will be seen that it will continue to do so.

Melon list has broken the table 51 times, which is the first after the revision of melon, counting the words before the revision, it is ranked after "Gentleman" in PSY13, this song inherits the aftermath of "Jiangnan style", at that time Melon has not been revised, and the table has been broken 89 times in a row after the song is released, which is really terrifying.

Although the concept of 'breaking the table' was only proposed in 2011, and songs before 11 years did not calculate this data, just ranking second among all songs in the past few years is scary enough.

The stamina on Melon is even more shocking, the curve trend is extremely flat, and it looks like "some" has rushed towards the first place on the annual list.

This music source achievement is really eye-catching, and it is also the reason why "some" is such a big trend now, on the streets and alleys, and all variety shows are released.

At the same time, this is also the fundamental reason why many Girls' Generation fans sone can't be convinced, even if they are very dissatisfied with this song and their idols can't get one.

The results of the sound source are too good, too hot.

After Yuan &suzy finished singing, all the sones couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, they were really on pins and needles in the past two weeks, with the popularity and volume of Girls' Generation, after more than a year, they returned to play songs in the first two weeks, and they really couldn't accept it at all.

In the past two weeks, all kinds of black fans on the Internet and fans from other homes have held several rounds of Girls' Generation conferences, what 'is outdated', what 'love era', what 'disband' and other kinds of yin and yang weirdness and smear slander simply make fans' heads fire when they see it.

It's okay now, Chi Jingyuan they graduated, and next week's level of girls' generation will definitely be stable.

It's just that at the same time as "some" ended playing songs, 2NE1, one of the old rivals of Girls' Generation, announced his return to play songs with a regular second album.

Further back is next week's 4minute.

The competition in the Peninsula music industry is so strong, any time you return, there will be popular artists sniping at you, it's so difficult to find a return time without strong competitors, and finally find a time to return that doesn't seem to be a powerful idol, and suddenly another big hit song came out of nowhere and pressed you to the ground.

So the most reliable thing is its own popularity and excellent songs, as well as persevering fans.

After that, Ji Jingyuan stayed with the members of EXO for the rest of the time, except for running his own advertising schedule, and the scheduled time for his return is getting closer and closer, and the company has already released the news, and recently they have been fully committed to the new album every day.

At this time, all EXO staff were filming the MV for "overdose" in the studio on the second basement floor of an office building in Gangnam-gu.

The second basement floor, which was originally far away from the sun, was now illuminated by the ubiquitous incandescent lamps as bright as day, and SM Company had set up a scene here in advance, a huge white hexagonal cube was standing in it, and the walls of the cube were decorated with black mosquito coils and maze-like frames, which was the logo of EXO's return to design this time.

The hexagonal cube of this set is really beautiful and spectacular from the outside, with no dead angles on all sides, 360 degrees, and a ceiling, which is like being in a huge labyrinth, giving people a strong sense of stimulation and substitution.

The reason for this design is that the music and lyrics of the title song "overdose/addiction" of the EXO mini second album this time are about a boy who is deeply addicted to the love of his favorite object and cannot extricate himself, as if he is trapped in a maze and cannot escape.

In keeping with this concept, in addition to the huge cube as the main shooting location, a real labyrinth of foam walls dyed gray was built on the third basement floor.

Just the set of the MV shows that SM has really invested a lot in EXO, at least the construction of this shooting location is better than the dimly lit parking lot of Girls' Generation's new album.

The process alone had been rehearsed for a long time before, and now the twelve members were filming in the cube, and counting this time, it was almost ten times now.

There are many shooting angles, such as a camera that follows you all the time, a long automatic shooting stick that extends on a slide, a drone for overhead shooting, and so on.

There was a large circle of staff around it, and in addition to the people who shot the MV, there were also some company staff who specialized in filming tidbits.

Last year's regular series of tidbits really made EXO show a big face, and it was well received by fans, not only did it have a good effect of fixing fans, but also attracted a lot of new fans into the pit, and SM, who ate the sweetness, naturally repeated the old trick this time, and arranged for many people to shoot tidbits from several angles, and handed over the camera to the members during the MV break, so that they could operate it themselves.

“target=“_bnk“>>

In addition, there is also m's program team, SM Company and ment have agreed to cooperate to shoot EXO's second group variety "Hot Moment XOXO" for the return of the mini second album promotional meeting, mainly to record EXO's achievements along the way, as well as various tidbits from the production of "overdose", and some private chat interviews with the members at ordinary times.

However, this time, the plan of the group show is very small, there are only 4 issues in total, and the degree of care is far less than the first group show "EXOshowtime" before, purely for publicity.

A filming site on the second basement floor gathered three waves of staff, and it was really hot.

"It's overdose."

"CUT, let's take a break, and we'll summarize the problem in ten minutes."

"Kangsanmida, hard work."

With the end of the accompaniment and the shouts of the PD, the members all stopped their movements, and after almost ten consecutive dances, everyone felt very tired, and after saying thanks, some pinched their waists, and some simply sat on the ground.

As soon as Chi Jingyuan stopped, he immediately found a wall, propped his hand on it and kept panting, only feeling dizzy and chest tightness, and his throat was also very uncomfortable, because he had no appetite and had eaten less in the past two days, and his whole body felt that he had no strength, and he was fluttering.

He has been catching a cold for more than a week, even if he takes medicine, it keeps coming and going, and there is a more and more serious trend, the symptoms of fever and dizziness have obviously worsened a lot recently, and the whole person is a little dazed after strenuous exercise.

"Jingyuan, hurry up and drink some water, do you want to go to the hospital again after filming today?"

Li Chenghuan, who had been watching from the sidelines, hurriedly walked up with a bottle of water, twisted it and handed it to Ji Jingyuan, and at the same time expressed concern.

"I only went to ...... two days ago"

Chi Jingyuan took a few sips of the level, closed his eyes hard and then opened them again, gasped, and his voice was a little weak: "The doctor said that there is no big problem, but in addition to medicine, the most important thing is to rest for a few days......"

As he spoke, he pouted at Lee Seung-hwan, and everything was silent.

"............" Lee Seung-hwan also knew the current situation, he frowned and hesitated, but still comforted: "After the filming of this MV, I will help you take two days off to rest in the dormitory, and recover from your illness first." “

Several members who were closer next to him also looked at him, and his expression was a little strange after hearing this, especially Luhan, whose eyes flickered and his face was a little unsightly.

Ji Jingyuan took another sip of water, then wiped his mouth and screwed the lid to return the water cup to Li Chenghuan, and smiled: "Let's talk about it......"

Li Chenghuan nodded slightly, patted Ji Jingyuan's shoulder and turned to leave, at this time, several members came over and gathered around Ji Jingyuan, Wu Shixun frowned and looked at Ji Jingyuan's ugly face, and said in surprise:

"Why is a cold getting worse and worse, Jingyuan, did the hospital prescribe the wrong medicine for you, or did you take the wrong one?"

Chi Jingyuan glanced at him obliquely, and his eyes as if he were mentally retarded made several people around him laugh out loud.

Wu Shixun was a little annoyed by this eye attack, and when he was about to fight back, he remembered that the other party was not feeling well, and he was a little invincible, so he pouted and sat next to him, and several other members also sat down together.

"The more it drags on, the worse it gets, if it doesn't work, it's the same as Brother Chenghuan said, take a leave of absence and rest for two days."

Du Junxiu blinked and made a suggestion.

Chi Jingyuan leaned comfortably against the wall of the cube and nodded slowly.

Chi Jingyuan looks quite serious, but in fact, many people in EXO have injuries on their bodies, such as leg injuries and back injuries, colds and fevers, etc., which have also been persevering, so both the members and Chi Jingyuan himself feel okay, although it is indeed a little uncomfortable, but it is not a big deal.

Several members cared about Ji Kyung-won for a while, and then chatted about other topics, from the MV to the new album, and finally to the female idol.

Female idol is really an end point for them to talk about any topic, no matter what they say, they will involuntarily turn to this when they chat.

It's not all natural changes, such as Park Chanyeol, Kim Jong-in, and Oh Se-hoon, who always take the initiative to bring the topic to this aspect, so that they can't talk about it.

"The seniors of Girls' Generation have watched the song that has returned this time, and I think the style of this suit is really handsome and super charming."

"Handsome is handsome enough, if you are charming...... I think the girlsday and AOA that came back at the beginning of the year are more attractive, especially AOA, and the choreography is really ...... Daihatsu! Kai smacked his lips and shook his head.

"Oh, I watched them play songs last month, and they did make a big fuss, and their style has completely changed."

Ji Jingyuan has rarely interjected because he is not feeling well, but he is still very interested and listens silently, and he is a little impressed by the AOA mentioned by kai at this time, because he has seen it twice when he was in "Idol Games".

Speaking of which, "Idol Games" is really a good place to meet people.

This girl group is another group that debuts in the center of the earth, because the company's FNC is better at running a band, so AOA is not a pure idol group, they are also divided into dance groups and band groups after their debut, and the MV will shoot multiple versions, and the songs are not together, and there are more bells and whistles, which are more than the two teams of EXO KM.

It's a pity that no one pays attention to them at all, and for more than a year after their debut in 12, they have no name in the Peninsula song industry at all, and they stumbled until 13 years, and the company finally can't hold on, the two detachments merged and replaced the members and directly threw aside what band, determined to focus on the girl group and changed to the sexy route, and launched the first single album in October last year, and the response to the title song "Shake" was very good.

At the beginning of this year, FNC made persistent efforts, and AOA launched "Short Skirt", which not only achieved good results in the music source, but also won its first hit song, and it can finally be regarded as a popular girl group.

Coincidentally, AOA and girlsday have been debuting for a long time, and when the lake is about to disband, they changed to the sexy route and took off instantly, which also represents that the sexy route on the peninsula is really quite marketable.

And compared to other styles, it is relatively simple, the choreography is a little sultry, and the short skirt and black silk are worn to that station, no wonder the recent girl groups are all piling up in this direction.

Although this style of girl group is easy to attract attention, the biggest problem is that it is not good to attract female fans if they only attract male fans, and there are very few diehards, and sales are not good.

"I think Suzy is really beautiful......"

Wu Shixun didn't agree with their opinions, and after thinking about it, he looked at Ji Jingyuan.

"Inside, I also think that the first love of the people is also popular, and Jingyuan is really happy." Jin Junmian also nodded in approval, and seemed to have a good impression of Bae Xiuzhi.

Ji Jingyuan tilted his head in the face of their envious eyes, and smiled without speaking.

"I've heard that Suzy is hard to do."

Park Chanyeol smacked his lips and leaked the news he heard in the circle: "I heard the old people chatting with each other, although Suzy often has scandals like boyfriends' constant love coffee, but in fact, it is not easy to chase at all. ”

She is very Yan Kong, and she prefers male artists with good looks and good figures, but she is also very demanding. They said that since Suzy's debut, especially after becoming the first love of the people, many people have chased her, but she can't look down on ordinary idols, at least she is an actor, and she must be good-looking. ”

"I feel like the person you're talking about isn't Jingyuan?"

Du Junxiu blinked and let out a soul torture.

"......Forehead" Park Chanyeol, who was talking like a river, stopped, and turned his head stiffly to look at the smiling Ji Jingyuan, he suddenly felt that he had lost the interest in talking.

Several other members, Jin Junmian and Wu Shixun's eyes also shot over, they all seemed to be very interested in Bae Xiuzhi, if it weren't for Ji Jingyuan's lack of wanting to speak, it was estimated that they would have to ask about related things.

Ji Jingyuan glanced at the members, and felt very interesting in his heart.

It's time to fall in love, as an idol, every day is not a fan who is crazy to chase after them and regard them as gods, or a female idol who is young and beautiful, and her figure and appearance are better than the other, and it is really difficult for a strong person to insist on being single and not falling in love in this environment.

After chatting for a while, PD clapped his hands, called all the members over, watched the overall clip just shot with them, and then pointed to several members in turn, and began to say:

"Kai,Before the last chorus,Put a little more expression in the close-up of your solo part.,This part is very charming.,Let you do it because your stage performance is very good.,Look at your expression just now.,Is there a little expressiveness?,Didn't you sleep well?"

"Baekhyun......"

PD's gaze turned to Bian Baek-hyun, and then to "There is still ......"

His gaze was a little stern, and the frown made both of them a little nervous.

They know where their problems are.

"What's the deal with the two of you dancing at a slower pace? When dancing in a group, everyone else is neat, as long as the two of you either take a slow beat, or the strength of the movement is not in place, it looks conspicuous and awkward, are you serious when you practice? ”

"Mia, thata." The two quickly bowed their heads and apologized, without any excuse.

The two of them are the last two members to join EXO in addition to Chi Jingyuan, and the practice time is very short, and they are selected for the combination because of their unique voices and singing skills, and they perform very well as the lead singer, which can be said to raise EXO's vocal level to a higher level.

It's just that because of the average foundation and short practice time, the dance level of the two can be regarded as a short board, although they have been practicing and improving their strength since their debut, but they are still a little worse than other members, and there are often some problems in dance.

"Jingyuan, ah......"

Finally, PD beckoned, looked at Ji Jingyuan and asked him to come closer.

Ji Jingyuan squeezed through the members and stood next to the monitor.

"The MV has several close-ups of you, but look at it...... Your expression is a little stiff, not vivid at all, obviously the shape is so handsome but it doesn't show your charm at all, and your face is too ugly.

PD looked at Chi Jingyuan, his tone was slightly softened than before, but he did not hesitate to criticize.

Ji Jingyuan pursed his lips lightly and looked at the screen, but did not speak.

In the MV for "Overdose", each member has two outfits, one with some hip-hop casual style and the other with Western-style formal wear.

And Chi Jingyuan is wearing a pure black suit trousers, the style is very plain and simple, without any decoration, lined with a starry shirt.

The hairstyle was for the style of this album, and Cody specially redesigned it for him, cutting the already long hair a little shorter, and combing the hair from the front to the top, revealing the forehead to form a messy wolf head.

The hair is dyed a deep purple, the color is very heavy, and if you don't look closely, it is no different from black hair, but it will glow purple in direct light, and it looks deep with a hint of mystery.

EXO's return style this time is very different from the preppy youth style of last year's "xoxo", and the overall appearance is much more mature, mixed with a little sexy and extravagant.

Ji Jingyuan's dress and style at this time were impeccable, although his face was actually quite ugly because of illness, but it was covered up by Cody with heavy makeup.

It's just that the appearance can be concealed, but the body is really a little unbearable.

The intense dance moves already made him feel a little difficult, and there were some omissions in the management of his expressions, and he could also see that several of his face parts were not performing very well, and the expressions and eyes that needed to be done were not in place, which was not his level at all.

"And when you transition, the action of you and tao knocking your face together needs to show cuteness and handsomeness, which should be very suitable for your style."

"But the close-up is the most obvious, Jingyuan, your state is really bad." PD shook his head, looking dissatisfied.

"Miane."

Ji Jingyuan apologized.

"I've jumped this many times, and the problems are all the same, so you have to be careful not to make the same mistakes all the time."

After pointing out the problems of several more people, the PD clapped his hands:

"Look at it again, and then we'll move on."

"Inside."

…………

"Jingyuan, eat something."

Lee Seung-hwan saw Ji Jingyuan lying on the sofa with his hat covering his face, got up and walked to his side, patted him lightly on the back, and handed him a hamburger.

After a day of MV shooting yesterday, EXO was backstage in an exhibition hall, and there was a media interview event that required all members to attend.

And Chi Jingyuan is feeling very bad now, and he feels dizzy when he came together this morning, and his body temperature has increased significantly.

He felt that something was wrong, and he had already told his agent that he would go to the hospital again after the interview.

Taking the hamburger, Ji Jingyuan unpacked it and took a few bites and put it aside. When he was sick, he really didn't have much appetite, so he didn't eat well for a few days, which has always been a good mouth.

During the interview, Ji Jingyuan was bordered throughout the whole process, sitting next to him and trying to maintain a business smile without saying a word, and the members also knew that he was uncomfortable, so they took the initiative to take over the topics thrown to him.

After more than an hour of interview, Chi Jingyuan only felt groggy, his whole brain was a lake, and he didn't even feel when the interview was over, and Wu Shixun, who was sitting next to him, bumped him with his elbow before he knew that he was going to step down.

It's just that when Ji Jingyuan followed the members and was about to leave the stage, and when he walked down the steps, he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and a strong sense of dizziness came, and his front foot stepped into the air, and the whole person couldn't control it and fell down directly.

Fortunately, Wu Shixun and Park Chanyeol next to him noticed it immediately, and reflexively reached out to pull Ji Jingyuan to prevent him from falling, and then held him up by the arm.

The agitation in the back immediately attracted the attention of the members in front, and they immediately gathered around after glancing back.

"Brother!"

Park Chanyeol and Wu Shixun hugged Ji Jingyuan, looking at his closed eyes and were a little panicked, Jin Junmian quickly stood up and shouted, Lee Seung-hwan, who had been watching from the side of the stage, hurriedly rushed over, and also put his hand on Ji Jingyuan's forehead to feel it, and said anxiously:

"Quick, get to the hospital quickly!"
