"We've got one, right?"

Chi Jingyuan was lying on the small sofa next to the box, playing the game console with Erlang's legs crossed, and asked Wu Shixun not far away without squinting.

At this time, the twelve members of EXO, who had just finished rehearsing from the concert venue, were all in a large box booked by Kim Junmian at a nearby hotel.

Today is the birthday of captain Kim Jun-myon, and having a meal together on this day can not only celebrate, but also allow all members to get together to relax and relax, which is the best of both worlds.

Originally, he had planned to have all the members visit his home, which would work best. His home happens to be in Gangnam District, and he also has his own property apartment near the company.

It's just that the time for dinner and rest at night is a little insufficient, and after the meal, they have to go back to the venue to continue rehearsals, so they simply give up, but they also make an appointment to go directly to his house to play at the next party.

It's really hospitable to look at him.

Chi Jingyuan remembered that Jin Junmian once mentioned that his parents were professors and teachers in school, his relatives were still in business, his family was well-connected and opened his own company, and he didn't know what industry he was operating in, but seeing that he often invited guests from time to time on weekdays, and he didn't attach much importance to money, and he bought his own apartment in Jiangnan before his debut, the family conditions should be very good, and he is among the top in EXO.

This time, the company didn't hold any birthday parties or anything like that, because it happened that the next day was the first concert, and they were going to celebrate a little in front of all the audience at that time.

Although it was a day late, the atmosphere and meaning were definitely extraordinary.

At this time, the dishes have not yet been served, and the members are sitting casually in the box, talking in twos and threes while playing with their mobile phones.

"You don't know how to watch it yourself, do you still have to ask about this kind of thing?"

Wu Shixun glanced at him, saw Chi Jingyuan playing the game console seriously, didn't look at him, broke a few words unhappily, swiped his index finger on the mobile phone screen a few times, and nodded: "Take it, today's "M!" C》We are one, no surprises...... One alternate is us and Apink. ”

“apink？ Didn't they say that they were going to end their singing at the end of last week? ”

Chi Jingyuan smiled when he heard this.

I heard Zheng Eun say that apink shouldn't be participating in singing this week, but because of the concert this week, they EXO basically can't participate in all singing shows and can't be there, and the final score will definitely be reduced.

I don't know if Apink felt that there was still hope for a few places in this situation, which caused the song to be delayed for another week.

"What's the score?" He asked curiously.

"9906 vs. 4729."

"Isn't this a double kill?"

Laughing happily, Ji Jingyuan's hands shaking to manipulate the game trembled. He suddenly regretted that he was not at the scene, otherwise he could have seen what Zheng Endi's expression was at that time.

After two minutes, Wu Shixun suddenly raised his head and said, "By the way, I'll show you a video, it's very interesting." ”

"Where?" Just after the boss of Chi Jingyuan was finished, he took out the game console and put it away, took out his mobile phone from his pocket and looked at him curiously.

"It's in the group, see for yourself."

"Which group?"

"Our K-team group."

"I'll take a look......" Ji Jingyuan nodded and opened the chat software kakao, and clicked into the group of the EXO-K team to watch.

Before their EXO's debut, captain Kim Junmian created several chat groups, including Team K, Team M, and everyone pulled together, etc., as for whether there is a small group in private, it is unknown.

The large group of 12 people was a little deserted after the detachment activities, but their own group of Team K was quite active, Park Chanyeol and Oh Se-hoon liked to fill it with water when they were fine, and Ji Jingyuan was also willing to echo a few words from time to time, which was quite interesting.

and Kim Jong-in, who doesn't talk much in ordinary life, inexplicably becomes more talkative in the group, and likes to post some pictures to show his presence.

In the group, they didn't use their original names, but changed the same format ID, which is their surname plus the syllables after their stage names, Kim Jong-in is called Kim Kai, and Wu Shixun is called Wu Hun.

Chi Jingyuan is Chi Yuan.

When he entered the group chat, he saw Wu Hun post a video link, titled BTSkris for an interview, and Chi Jingyuan's eyes lit up and clicked in directly.

The video began to play, and as soon as it came up, Wu Saike was standing in front of many logo billboards and seemed to be recording some interview activities, and a reporter was asking questions with a microphone with the logo of a well-known website in Xia Guo.

It's an all-Chinese conversation, but it's been carried to the Al Jazeera website and subtitles have been made below.

"BTS's activities in the summer country have achieved a lot of popularity during this time, and a few days ago there was news that the event caused fan congestion, how does Kris feel about your achievements during this time?"

"Well, first of all, I'm really grateful to the fans for their support."

Wu Saike faced the microphone stretched out in front of his mouth, thought for a while, and then his expression was sincere, and he began to reply with a sunny face: "It's a great honor that they can like our music, and we will definitely continue to work hard to live up to the expectations of all the meals." ”

Very official answer, nothing surprising.

Chi Jingyuan leaned there and watched the video, and secretly commented in his heart.

After the reporter asked a few more questions, something interesting came.

"Before BTS, EXO has been targeting the mainland market since its debut and has achieved great success, and now it is highly known throughout Asia, and now it is the best boy group in our side, what do you think of this senior group?"

Although BTS has been doing well in Xia Guo in the past few months, and has a lot of popularity and its own fan base, it is still more than one or two points inferior to EXO, and it is still very far behind in terms of popularity and fan volume.

It's all a boy group on the peninsula, and the fans of Xia Guo are not blind and deaf, EXO and bulletproof are not at the same level in the peninsula at all, even if they want to chase stars, most people must be chasing the hottest and most handsome combination, which also leads to bulletproof encountering EXO everywhere in the United States after breaking into the summer, and it is like a shadow hanging over them.

And the ingredient content of their combination of handsome guys is indeed a little lower.

The purpose of the reporter's question is, of course, to hear Wu say some good things to please XO fans, creating a good relationship between BTS and EXO, which can not only gain a lot of goodwill, but also attract some fans to climb the wall.

"Hmmm......"

Wu Saike frowned faintly, and nodded slightly: "EXO is our predecessor in both the peninsula and the mainland, and their successful activities have also set an example for us, their stage and songs are really good, and I have tried to learn from them in some aspects." ”

He exhaled lightly, as if he had lifted some burden.

"You must have known each other on the Peninsula, right?"

"Yes, yes."

"Familiar?"

“………… It's quite familiar. ”

He nodded, his smile seemingly stiff.

"Yuan, a popular member of EXO, are you familiar?"

“………… Cooked. ”

He looked at the host a little wrong.

"And what do you think of him? Did you communicate with each other when you were on the peninsula? ”

“……………”

Wu Saike glanced at the host with inexplicable eyes, then lowered his head and muttered for a long time, the corners of his mouth and brows twitched a few times as if he was struggling in his heart, and only after a while did he look up at the camera, revealing a smile full of emotion:

"EXO's Yuan has always been a senior I look up to a lot, and we had a friendly exchange when we were on the peninsula, and he shared some of the experiences of the event to me, which benefited me a lot."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the reporter felt that he touched his teeth a little too many times when he spoke.

"Yuan's seniors have achieved very good results as a boy group and an actor, showing us a good route, and we have learned a lot of ...... from it"

He paused, his face a little stiff:

"I'm his ......"

"Hahahaha......" I didn't hold back my laughter before I finished reading Chi Jingyuan, especially when I saw Wu Saike's stiff expression and eyes at the end, and the words he said gritted his teeth really poked his laughter, and he collapsed on the sofa and laughed.

He estimated that Wu Du couldn't wait to put the microphone into the host's mouth.

It's really not easy to be an artist.

In the end, many people could see Wu's expression, and some viewers at the bottom of the video left messages feeling a little strange, asking if there was anything hidden or something.

"It seems that their activities in the Xia Kingdom are quite smooth, are they very popular?"

After reading the comments below, Chi Jingyuan asked with interest.

"It's okay, I heard it's pretty good." Wu Shixun nodded, but added with a smile calmly: "Of course, it's still much worse than us." ”

After a few words, there was a knock on the door of the box, the waiter began to serve the food, and the members all returned to the table and sat down in their seats, first took a few certified photos and passed them to the agent, and then began the captain's birthday party in the evening.

Because it was a happy day, everyone was also quite cheering, and it was lively to complete a long-lost dinner for twelve people in private.

…………

On May 23, at the Seoul Olympic Gymnastics Stadium, the staff of the already erected venue were still busy with the final determination of the specific conditions of the lights, sound, elevators, high platforms, gondolas and other devices and facilities, so as to avoid any unexpected situations in the first solo concert since the upcoming EXO.

And the members are also rehearsing the position and process at the end, although they have rehearsed countless times from beginning to end during this time, it can be said that every link is familiar with the heart, but when the concert is about to start, there will still be some anxiety in their hearts, several members are a little panicked at this time, their hands tremble slightly, they can't help but keep shaking their legs, and sweat can't stop floating on their foreheads.

Although they have participated in many SMtown family concerts before, EXO was only one of the participants at that time, and he was a supporting role, but now it is their real solo concert, and everyone is the real protagonist here, so they can't help but not be nervous.

"Jingyuan is really a thief, because he is afraid that he can not go to the hanging basket, and he feels unfair when he thinks about it." At this time, Du Junxiu said a word of complaint, which eased the somewhat anxious atmosphere.

There was a part of the concert, Team M performed on stage, and the six members of Team K would take off in a hanging basket and circle the venue to interact with fans, and Ji Jingyuan was given the privilege of not having to sit in a hanging basket because he was dizzy after sitting in it.

"yes, I also said that if you don't sit if you're dizzy."

"This hanging basket is not strong, I always felt like it was going to fall down at any moment when I was rehearsing before."

seemed to have found a catharsis point, and several members around them complained one after another, while Ji Jingyuan smiled and let them vent their criticism.

He could tell that the members were a little impatient, but so was himself.

"XO kids come over and make sure one last thing."

At this time, the PD of the concert shouted not far away, and several staff members next to him were talking about something, and several agents of XO were also there.

"Okay, here's coming!"

Everyone walked over quickly, gathered in a circle, listened carefully to the explanation of the director and other field affairs, and said that it was done for about ten minutes.

"Okay, that's pretty much it, we've been preparing for today's concert for a long, long time, so we don't need to be too nervous to just follow the previous rehearsal."

After the director and staff left, Lee Seung-hwan smiled at the members and cheered: "Let's go backstage first, your family members have already come, and the people from the company are entertaining at this time, after chatting with them, I will go to touch up my makeup, and the audience will start to enter the venue soon." ”

"Got it, brother." After talking to Lee Seung-hwan, the members of XO returned to the backstage under the guidance of their assistants, and within two steps they saw the families of the members gathered at the door of their lounge.

Because this concert is of great significance to XO, the company informed and invited all members' families to watch the first concert on the 23rd.

The peninsula is a country with many children, and most of the people are not only children, so many parents and brothers have come together, and the corridor in the background is tightly enclosed, and when they see the members come back, they immediately get excited, and quickly wave and shout their children's names.

Of course, not all the parents of all the members were present, except for a very few local members who couldn't come this time because their relatives couldn't spare time, and none of the families of the three Xia Kingdom lines came.

It is said that it is a little inconvenient to go abroad to the peninsula, but SM also made other preparations and invited them to the first concert held by EXO in the summer country to witness the growth of their children.

It's kind of a heart.

But at this time, compared with the warm reunion with other family members, several people in Xia Guoline, as well as one or two members whose relatives did not show up for some reason, couldn't help but look a little bleak now, and after bowing and saying hello to the parents of the other people, they walked into the lounge and hugged to keep warm.

Chi Jingyuan also saw his second brother, and he smiled and saluted the members and elders next to him, and walked slowly over there.

Ji Jingxu stood at the edge of the crowd, at the corner of the backstage corridor, there was no assistant by his side at this time, and a middle-aged man who seemed to be a senior director of SM was talking about something next to him, but the director nodded and said hello with a smile when he saw Ji Jingyuan coming over, and then left first with great interest.

"What's the matter, the big stars are not happy to see me?" The second brother tilted his head and looked at Chi Jingyuan with a smile.

"Not really, I'm actually in a pretty good mood."

Ji Jingyuan also laughed, stood next to him and licked his lips.

"Then I guess you're going to be disappointed, and I won't be able to stay long if there's an important meeting to start, so I guess I'll be able to watch the opening at most."

Ji Jingxu winked at him, looking like you don't want to be happy too early.

"That's right...... That's just right. ”

Chi Jingyuan smiled, shrugged his shoulders and became even happier.

He didn't know if the second brother was really in trouble, or if he saw that he was acting awkwardly in front of his family, so he did it specifically.

But it doesn't matter, I'm glad to be here.

The two brothers stood there and chatted, from the concert to their studies, and then to their feelings, and then to other topics under Ji Jingyuan's impatience.

"What did you learn your driver's license? The car that sent you has been parked there, and it is not too troublesome to call Park Jae-hyun every day to give you a driving date. The second brother looked at him with slanted eyes and a disgusted expression.

"Trouble... Actually, there is a point. I want to learn too, so I'll be done in the next few days. ”

Chi Jingyuan was a little helpless, he actually wanted to get his driver's license when he became an adult, but he didn't have much time to catch up with the return period.

After a pause, he looked over and said, "What kind of car did you buy again?" I can't open the ones I used to send now, it's too eye-catching. ”

"Don't worry, considering your profession as an artist, this time I will send ordinary models, absolutely no problem."

Ji Jingxu patted his younger brother on the shoulder, saying that everything was under control, and he had thought about everything.

After chatting for a while, an assistant shouted:

"Kids, it's time to touch up your makeup, it's time to get ready for the show!"

"Got it."

Chi Jingyuan responded, and then looked back at the second brother: "Then I'll go first." ”

Ji Jingxu smiled and nodded his chin at him:

"Go ahead, big star."

………………

"Why are so many people sitting there in raincoats?"

Zhou Ziyu, Kong Xue and another friend were queuing up to enter the venue, when she saw the crowd sitting around the fence next to her, and asked suspiciously.

At this time, near the fence, a crowd of people wearing red raincoats was neatly seated, lined up in several phalanxes, and there were a few people standing next to them who seemed to be staff members to maintain order.

In the past few days, there has been a light rain in Seoul, and the whole ground has been soaked and wet.

"Those are fans who haven't bought tickets for the concert and really want to see XO's performance."

Kong Xue also took a look at it, and explained clearly: "This time XO's tickets are too few and they are grabbed too quickly, in terms of their number of fans, they are simply not enough, and those who don't have tickets can only experience the atmosphere of the concert in this way, and at the same time support their idol." ”

"But there are too many people out there......

"This is XO's first concert, do you think it's some other idol, if it weren't for Ziyu, we would have to sit there with them...... Hurry up and get in, there are more and more people. ”

The three friends slowly marched through the line with banners and glow sticks, and after waiting for a while, they finally walked into the venue, the drizzle was cut off, and the slightly noisy environment made them feel as if they had entered another world.

Follow the hint slowly until they reach an area close to the center stage and finally find their place.

"Wow, this is the front row of the infield, this position is too good, it deserves to be an internal ticket." Kong Xue saw the stage that was close to Chi Chi, and the large screen that could be climbed up with one hand, and the large screen that was clearly visible not far away, she only felt that the whole person was excited, she had come to the peninsula to watch many concerts, and she had never sat in such a good position.

Zhou Ziyu was wearing a hat, and he looked around curiously, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed to see that the location was so good, but he was also very happy in his heart, and after a few glances, he sat upright in his seat, chatting with friends next to him, while looking at the direction of the stage and waiting for the concert to open.

A few rows behind the three of them, Mingjing Nan and Hirai Tao also found a place to sit down and take a long breath, after waiting in such a long line, there was still a light rain outside, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to the lake, and finally could sit down and take a breath.

"It's still not close enough to the stage...... "Minami Nai sat down and looked at the distance between himself and the big screen, and said with a little dissatisfaction.

Although they are also in a very good position in the infield, they belong to the front row with a good view, but they are still a few meters away from the stage.

What Minami Nai wants in his heart is the closest to the front row, the feeling of touching the person on the stage as soon as he stretches out his hand, the feeling that he can see when he looks up, and he is extremely close.

"It's good to be able to grab this ticket, the requirements are so high...... Our seats were already good enough to see so clearly. ”

Hirai Tao opened the mineral water and took a sip, and said angrily: "It's not just that you have money to buy tickets, the seats in the front row will be empty as soon as they come out, unless you know SM or EXO's insiders to find a relationship to get a ticket." ”

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

"I know!" Nai Nan turned his head and blinked, pouting slightly and pretending to be cute.

"But people don't know you." Hirai Momo didn't eat her set, glanced at her and puffed out her cheeks.

If you change to Sasha Minato, it is estimated that she will directly hug it and paste it.

"........." Hearing this, Ming Jingnan was a little shocked, and lowered her mouth slightly, buried her head and blunted her head for a few seconds, then raised her head and reached out to stroke her hair, cheering up, she would not be hurt by this small attack.

"It's a pity that Sana-chan can't come." She looked at the vacant seats around her and gradually filled up, and said with some regret.

"She went to Thailand to shoot the MV for the title song of got7's predecessors, I don't know how happy I am, do you think everyone likes XO as much as you and must come to the concert...... Ah no, mina-chan likes ......"

Hirai Tao snorted lightly and said, with a little sour taste in his voice, obviously a little envious, and his tone became narrower as he spoke, and he looked at Mingjing Nan with some teasing, but he didn't finish the words under the direct gaze of the other party.

"Cut, it's obviously true, and I don't like people to say it......

couldn't help but complain in his heart, Hirai Tao snorted, and finally waved his hand: "And we only grabbed two tickets, and there is no place to sit when we come." ”

"Yes...... Sana-chan was able to shoot the MV for the title song of GOT7 seniors, and was also selected for the debut group of 6MIX, so she should be able to debut soon......"

Mingjing Nan nodded and said softly, chewing in his heart, and for some reason he felt a little astringent.

Not enough, she pursed her lips and buried it in her heart, and then looked back at the side: "The seat is almost full, it should start soon." ”

"It's coming, it's almost time."

…………

Seeing that the time was about to reach the hour, all the 18,000 spectators in the venue turned on the fluorescent lights in their hands, and at the same time, the ceiling lights of the venue gradually dimmed, and the venue became dark and deep without lights, and only countless shaking glow sticks like starlight could be seen.

The red ambient lights on the stage turned on, and the sound in the stadium immediately became much noisier, and the speaker made a loud noise as the hour hand pointed to 12, realizing that the concert was about to start, and all the fans shouted loudly.

The big screen is lit up, and several drummers in classical costumes under the fluorescent are beating the drum vigorously, and the drum surface is the maze logo of the EXO mini second album this time, the drum sound is neat and majestic, and the drum beat is becoming more and more intense.

The drums beat faster and faster, and the moment when they reached the highest point came to an abrupt end, and at the same time, the opening VCR of the concert began to play on the big screen.

Twelve members appear on the screen in turn, running through the harsh environment of the special effects, some in the snow and ice, some in the mountains that are about to collapse, and some are trapped in a huge maze.

Even so, everyone was still running in one direction, and no obstacle could slow them down.

Accompanied by the passionate and majestic BGM, I don't know how many planes I crossed, how many walls that blocked the way were broken, and the twelve teenagers who controlled the superpowers finally converged and flew into the air to penetrate the curtain of time, and the big screen also made a shattering special effect at the same time.

The elevator of the main stage has also slowly risen, and the twelve members stand there quietly in the dim light. It was as if the time and space traveled through shattered screens and came here.

Seeing the protagonist appear, all the audience in the entire venue began to shout excitedly, and the deafening sound swept through all the nearby corners like a tsunami, and even the crowd waiting outside could clearly hear the cheers that pierced their eardrums.

The entire Olympic gymnastics arena was already in a carnival at this time.

The lights gradually turned on, turning from dark red to yellow, and the twelve EXO people slowly walked forward, and at the same time, the sacred and majestic, surging but mysterious music suddenly sounded.

"Mama", the first song of their concert and their debut song:

“carelesscarelessshootanonymousanonymous.”

“heartlessmindlessnoonewhoe。”
