As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted strong attention from the media in Xia and the peninsula, and instantly made the headlines of the real-time hot search list.

EXO is not a second- or third-tier boy group like BTS, they are now one of the most popular and hot groups in Southeast Asia, especially in the two most frequently active base markets of Xia Guo and Peninsula, and there is not even a suffix in the former.

Luhna is also one of the most popular members, the captain and main member of EXO-M, and occupies a pivotal position in the activities of the entire team in Xia Guo, which is also a little worse than Ji Jingyuan.

It can be said that as soon as he left, the popularity of the entire M team lost more than one-third at once, and the adverse effects of the peninsula itself and the chain reaction of the members leaving the group are even more difficult to estimate.

Not to mention that it is not an ordinary withdrawal, but like Wu, he leaves in a decisive way of suing.

Since its rise, EXO has become the latest pillar and cash cow of SM today, with revenue accounting for the majority of the company's total revenue in recent quarters, and now the withdrawal of important members has caused a strong shock in the stock market.

After the news of Luhan's contract invalidation lawsuit came out, SM's stock price plummeted, and in just 15 minutes, SM's stock price fell to 37,050 won, an overall drop of nearly 9 percent, and SM's total stock price fell by nearly 70 billion won.

I received the news yesterday, and SM Company, which had been prepared, saw such a terrible decline and hurriedly stood up and said:

"Today, we received a lawsuit from Luhan through a legal firm. He had said that due to physical reasons, and that he wanted to focus on activities in Natsukuni more than EXO's activities, he was in the process of discussing future event plans, but he was very confused when he suddenly received a complaint for termination. ”

"We believe that the act of filing a lawsuit without any reason, gaining popularity through a combination, and then filing a termination for breach of contract through a legal corporation is a move that ignores the interests of the parties to the contract, such as the association and the company, and is a practice that gives priority to the interests of individuals."

At the same time, in order to stabilize the stock price and reassure fans, he finally said: "EXO's future activities will continue as usual." ”

But this kind of official response really did not play a big role at this time, but instead filled the Internet with firewood, which was already cooking oil.

"First of all, Girls' Generation broke out and fell in love quickly, and then it was EXO's turn, what happened to SM this year?"

"SM should want to sing 'someohedoctor!' by now. Let's kkkk"

"Truth be told, Luhan, as one of the most popular members of the team, can disband the M team as soon as he leaves...... Unless SM asks Yuan to fill his place and juggle the activities of both teams.

"This kind of thing is most afraid that someone will take the lead, before Wu terminated the contract, I thought that EXO would definitely not last long, sure enough, I now predict that after luhan, there will be two other members of the Xia Kingdom...... At that time, the twelve people directly retreated a quarter, and EXO was finished. ”

"Hahaha, the last time Wu terminated the contract, the planetary rice was still gloating over the yin and yang, this time it's the turn of his idol, right? Hahaha What about the 'weareone' that you said? Laugh at me, kkkkkk. ”

The sudden withdrawal from the group made all EXO fans fall into shock and panic, so suddenly they didn't know what was going on for a while, and the black fans who had dived before also came out one after another, and had a happy and lively discussion on the Internet with passers-by who watched the excitement.

Even if it's not a black fan, in terms of EXO's popularity, this kind of excitement is very popular with ordinary passers-by, and it feels more exciting than idol exposing love.

While the Internet was boiling, after a two-hour flight, EXO's flight also landed at Seoul Incheon International Airport, and after a series of procedures, eleven people lined up in a line and slowly walked outside under the escort of agents and assistants.

EXO's itinerary is not a secret, and a casual check can tell that they held a concert in Xia Guo two days ago and came back on today's flight, so at this time, the outside of the airport has already been surrounded by reporters who have been waiting for a long time.

The fans who originally came to pick up the airport also gathered not far from the airport in panic, but at this time, even if they knew that their idol had gotten off the plane and was about to walk out, it was difficult for them to let out the selfless cheers and screams they once had.

When they saw the reporters crowded past and the EXO members slowly coming out of it, their faces were a little dazed, and they didn't know what they should do now.

Screaming with the same passion as before?

But I couldn't shout it at this time.

Among them, several of them are Luhan's fans, and they came here early to wait for the pick-up in order to see their idols, but they didn't expect people to wait, but what they were waiting for was the news of their idol's withdrawal from the group.

It's like a bolt from the blue.

At this time, they held Luhan's banner and pictorial in their hands, but they did not hold them high or throw them on the ground, but they clutched them tightly in their hands, but they did not know where to put them.

A few of the girls cried directly, tears running across their faces onto the pictorial that they were reluctant to throw away, and gently dripping on Luhan's face that was folded.

The planetary rice that used to show extremely high combat effectiveness and full of enthusiasm no matter where it appeared, now looks like a frosted eggplant, and it is distressing.

"Can you tell me anything about Luhan's withdrawal from the group?"

"Is it true that Luhan's body did not dare to leave the group because of his busy activities?"

There are a lot of reporters around each member, Chi Jingyuan at the back of the team is surrounded by the most people, and the flash lights keep shining on their faces, and the assistant next to him stretches out his hand and tries to isolate them to protect the safety of the members, but every step forward is a bit laborious under the congestion of so many people.

Chi Jingyuan was dressed in very simple gray shorts and short sleeves with canvas shoes, wearing a black baseball cap on his head and no mask, and his unmakeup face was still bright, but he looked very tired at this time.

"Yuanxi, can you tell me? What do you think about this? Will luhan's retirement have a big impact on EXO? A reporter kept crowding his assistant and questioned him loudly.

Chi Jingyuan stretched out his hand and gently blocked the interview microphone that was about to reach his mouth, shook his head and didn't speak, lowered his head and followed closely behind Wu Shixun in front, pursing his lips without saying a word.

Luhan's withdrawal from the team and the popularity of EXO itself have indeed had a great impact, and it is estimated that the entertainment media throughout Seoul have lined up reporters to come and squat.

After a lot of effort, he finally moved out of the airport step by step, Chi Jingyuan glanced at the sad fans who came to pick up the plane next to him, but he was silent, looking at the confused expressions on their faces, red eyes and overwhelmed eyes, sighed and followed the nanny car.

There's not much he can do right now.

The nanny car drove directly back to the SM company building, and they quickly sat down in the small conference room again, vaguely remembering that they also had a meeting here not long ago when Bian Boxian was in love.

In addition to the manager, there are several company management and directors.

Li Xiuman didn't come, he seems to have been sick because of his wife recently, and he has put a lot of energy on taking care of his family, and he has a lot less management of the company, although he still uses his mobile phone to contact Chi Jingyuan from time to time to express his concern, but he hasn't appeared in the company for a while.

I asked those repetitive questions again, and many of the questions were actually asked by Lee Seung-hwan yesterday.

Most of the members actually didn't know about this matter at all, and they couldn't ask anything, even Ji Jingyuan only found out about it when he had dinner with Luhan last night, and only two members of the Xia Kingdom line knew in advance that he was going to run.

And now that people have run away, it doesn't make much sense to talk about these things, and the most important thing now is how to deal with the current situation.

"Don't express your opinions to the outside world yet, the company is still discussing the handling of this matter."

After a nervous round of questioning, several high-level executives discussed a few words in a whisper, leaving Y and Tao alone and letting the others leave first.

"Do you want to try to contact Luhan?"

"It's obvious that you've made up your mind, what's the use of contacting you?"

"Now the main thing is to control public opinion first, stabilize the stock price and not fall again......"

When I walked out of the office, I could vaguely hear a few management discussions from behind.

It's a pity that the company said it a little late, and Y seems to have published a blog post about Luhan's farewell and support on Xia Guo's scarf before, and Tao doesn't know if he sent it.

As for the control of public opinion...... It's all fermented like this, and it's probably dangerous.

Is today's EXO member withdrawal from the group the biggest hot spot on the Internet, Park Chun's forbidden medicine gate, which has been concerned for some time ago, was instantly placed below, in addition to the discussion of ordinary passers-by, the entire online forum, and the EXO fan club were all in a panic, and Planet Rice, who had just been injured because of Baehyun's love, was hit again.

And this time it's not as simple as falling in love, the withdrawal of one of the core members is a great loss for any group, and it is an indescribable blow to loyal fans.

The whole fanclub was in mourning.

Hajma...... Why do you want to do this......"

"We've been working together for so long, can't we discuss it? Why, why, why? ”

"SM hurry up and communicate with luhan again.,It's okay to start over when you come back.,Is it still EXO with one less person?"

Many fans were distracted by the sudden news, and many people still have this misunderstanding in their hearts, everyone can go down and talk about Luhan's naïve idea of returning to the team.

This is also what most fans think, and no one wants to see their favorite group split.

"I'm worried, why do you want to protect Luhan NC, can you wake him up, this is a betrayal, a ruthless betrayal of fans and members!"

There are also more extreme fans, and some of the various members' poison Wei immediately drew a line with luhan, and after the news of luhan's improvement came out, there were only eleven people left in their hearts.

"We're all still here, EXO cheer up, come on! I was really sad when I saw Yuan's expression on the news, and I really wanted to cry. ”

"Indeed, I have never seen Oba so spiritless, and I guess it is really uncomfortable to leave because of my brother."

The last true love fan is sad, but also cares about the status of the other members of EXO.

After EXO returned to the peninsula from Xia Guo and came out of the airport, it didn't take long for many media to keep up with current events and publish press releases such as 'member Luhan quits the group, EXO is in a worrying state at the airport, and Yuan keeps his mouth shut and looks haggard'.

The pictures on it are all photos of EXO members taken at the airport, and everyone has a photo of them, and everyone has an ugly expression. And the clearest and most impressive one is the photo of Chi Jingyuan being questioned by reporters, he pursed his lips, lowered his head and did not speak.

Even if the brim of the hat is very long, it can't hide the helplessness and tiredness on his face, which is very different from the usual sunny image of Chi Jingyuan smiling to fans, and many fans feel very distressed immediately after seeing it.

Just looking at the photos makes them feel empathy.

In this way, many Yuan's only fans can't help but have a lot of complaints and blame for Luhan, and many people have been directly hostile to him, and their words are full of accusations and insults.

They don't care what luhan is not luhan.

This photo has also been reposted on many media headlines and various forums, becoming the best proof that SM has suffered a reversal, the atmosphere in the EXO team is not good, and the members are in a bad mood.

Even Chi Jingyuan couldn't laugh, doesn't this prove anything?

……

"Are you okay over there?"

"It's hard to avoid such a thing as a member quitting the group, didn't we also encounter it at the beginning, don't care about his popularity will go down in a few days, just work harder next time you return."

Ji Jingyuan looked at the message he received on his phone, smiled and pursed his lips.

This was sent by Zheng Endi, the first one was sent when the morning news just appeared, at that time Ji Jingyuan was on the plane, and he never returned when he saw it later.

Later, she just sent another one to comfort Chi Jingyuan, she used herself as an example to show up, and the persuasiveness was indeed quite strong.

Today's news is too exciting, as long as people in the Peninsula song industry basically know it immediately, so since Luhan's withdrawal from the team was exposed, many of Chi Jingyuan's friends have all sent messages to care and condolences, familiar and unfamiliar.

It's just that because he was in a bad mood, and he didn't know what to say at this time, Chi Jingyuan never replied, and he didn't even open it to see.

However, most of them are polite greetings, and some of them are closer to each other, and they are more concerned about Zheng Endi, who will try to send two more after a period of time if they see that there is no reply.

"So free? But I remember that you asked me for a drink because of Hong Yu's withdrawal from the group, and if I remember correctly, you looked very uncomfortable at that time, as if Apink was about to disband. ”

Ji Jingyuan sat cross-legged on the floor, smiling and quickly typing a line of messages on his mobile phone to reply to her, when Park Chanyeol came over and handed over a glass of ice drink.

"Thank you." He looked up and thanked him, twisted it away, and poured two sips hard.

At this time, they are in EXO's practice room, seizing the time to rehearse a lot of songs and dances, and luhan's departure will bring more than just prestige, image, and fan impact to XO, there are many more intuitive things.

For example, most of the dances have to be rehearsed, some songs even have to be rechoreographed, and his previous parts have to be assigned to other people.

Several big hits, such as "Roaring Filial Piety", "Addiction", and "Wolf and Beauty", have to be rehearsed in many places.

For example, in the shape of the tree of life in "The Wolf and the Beauty", Ji Jingyuan was paired with Luhan before, and the two stood in the second or third of the queue, holding each other's hands and leaning down with each other's strength to pretend to be branches.

Now that Luhan is gone, he has no one to pull, the tree of life can't be put out, and he has to wait for the dance teacher to rearrange someone to cooperate with him.

Especially on the stage of the M team, because luhan is the main member, his part and C position are the most, and the dance position of six people to five people is completely different, and it will be a very large workload to practice again after Mengdi is vacated.

Although EXO's group activities have been temporarily suspended, the next concert is on the 27th, and there is only one week for them to rehearse.

After the previous meeting, Y and Tao, who had been left alone for about half an hour, returned, and they went back to the practice room to say hello to the others, and nothing else was said.

Soon Lee Seung-hwan and the company's management also went to the practice room to announce the results of the temporary treatment, and the group activities of the EXO brigade are currently temporarily suspended, and the individual itinerary will not be affected.

This is the case for the past few days, and then it will be adjusted according to the response of the outside world in the future.

After this incident, the atmosphere in EXO's team has obviously changed, and the two Xia Guolines are very worried, no matter where they are, they all look silent, and they don't have too much desire to communicate.

Others don't know if it's because of anger or irritability, and the overall mood is not very good.

It didn't take long for the dance teachers who were in charge of helping them to be in place, and everyone started to hurry up to rearrange them, and now the most important thing was to re-go all the songs in the concert.

After practicing for several hours in a row, it was time to take a break, and the members all sat on the floor of the wall, and everyone was not in much interest in talking when they were in a bad mood, a few people were whispering to each other, and the others were going their own way.

Park Chanyeol nodded and didn't say anything after handing him the drink, went back and took a few bottles and handed them to the others, and then sat back in his place and fiddled with his mobile phone without making a sound.

There was an uncomfortable heaviness throughout the room.

Ji Jingyuan shook his head, shook the sweat on his forehead, picked up the drink and took two sips, and Zheng Endi's reply came.

"You're really annoying, so kindly comfort you and expose my scars, right? The next time someone leaves the group, don't think I'll care about you anymore. ”

After reading it, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help laughing, put the drink aside, and quickly went back: "Next time someone leaves the group...... Curse us, right? Then I also congratulate you on the new drama ratings breaking through the 6% mark, I have always forgotten to congratulate you before, it is a milestone-like honor, and it is about to surpass the "Please Answer 1997" of the year, worthy of the young actor Zheng Endini! ”

"Yikes! Chi Jingyuan, do you want to fight? Next ......"

The speed of this reply is very fast, and Chi Jingyuan can imagine it through the mobile phone, Zheng Endi grinned and pressed the screen of the mobile phone angrily.

After a glance, I didn't have time to reply, and when the break came, the dance teacher clapped his hands and motioned for them to continue contacting, and the members stood up and walked to the middle one after another, and started a new round of practice.

In the evening, the members scattered and had a hasty meal, and then returned to the practice room, and practiced until about 1 a.m. before disbanding and returning to the dormitory.

A week is barely enough time for the rehearsal of the concert, and if it is only a day or two, it may not be enough to stay all night.

After going back, the atmosphere in the dormitory was obviously a little dull, everyone was in no mood to speak, and there was enough to say last night and this afternoon, and it was useless to say more.

This time it is completely different from the nature of the love affair some time ago.

Luhan's incident really shook EXO's basic plate, and the group's originally bright prospects have now become a lot more ambiguous, and everyone has different ideas and a lot of things in their hearts.

And even if he didn't say it to his face, it was obvious that many people had a lot of opinions about Tao and Y, the two members of the Xia Kingdom Line who knew about it before.

Although it is not isolated, the gap is clearly created.

They could still watch the excitement happily when Wu Saike ran before, but now it's Luhan, and they are all mixed up after they run, and their similarity is that they are all members of the Xia Kingdom.

So who's next?

Anyone who, after these months of turmoil, can't help but question themselves like this.

After lining up and washing up, they went back to their rooms, and today Du Junxiu didn't go to the crew because of this incident.

His starring "It's Okay, It's Love" is about to premiere, and the weight of the previous filming is almost enough, and the shooting task in the next few days should not be so heavy.

The trio in their dorm room each played with their phones, reading various comments on the Internet about the Luhan incident, and chatting with each other.

"Didn't call the female ticket today?" Ji Jingyuan sat cross-legged on the bed against the wall, fiddling with his mobile phone and glanced up at Wu Shixun.

"When is it, how are you in the mood......" As if hearing a joke, Wu Shixun rubbed his temples speechlessly and shook his head: "I sent her a message at dinner in the evening, saying that I wouldn't talk to her for the past two days." ”

"Two days? If only this could be done in two days. ”

Du Junxiu, who was on the top bunk, put down her mobile phone and sighed: "I'm afraid it's just a start......"

He didn't finish his sentence, but both of them could understand what it meant.

After a brief moment of silence, they chatted about something other, lighter topics.

After saying a few words, Ji Jingyuan's mobile phone suddenly shook, and when he picked it up, he saw that Pei Zhuhyun sent it.

"Is there something you said yesterday, is that what happened today?"

Ji Kyung-won found that since Bae Joo-hyun was selected for SM's new girl group project, he has gradually become a lot more frequent in contacting him, especially recently, after becoming a debut foursome, he likes to send two messages from time to time.

I don't know if I want to share my feelings or something else.

Chi Jingyuan didn't care, lowered his head and quickly replied: "Nei, I was having dinner with Brother Luhan when I was talking to you." ”

"Jingyuan, why is it silent." Du Junxiu was on the opposite side, his vision was blocked, and he couldn't see what Chi Jingyuan was doing, and when he was chatting, he suddenly couldn't hear his voice, and he couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"He's texting girls there."

Without waiting for the main lord to speak, Wu Shixun glanced at him and said it directly.

"Then you send it, it's more important to get down to business." Du Junxiu laughed and stopped talking.

"How do you know it's a woman?" Chi Jingyuan looked at him.

"Who do you look down on? Is it still a man? ”

Wu Shixun glanced at him angrily, shook his head and no longer looked at him but stared at his mobile phone, and said with a determined look: "Although I haven't seen you call, but the text messages are sent every day, how can ordinary friends have so many words...... And it's not just one person you're talking to, right? ”

"Hehe......" Chi Jingyuan raised an eyebrow at him with a smile, and looked down at the message replied to his phone.

"We've all seen the news, and we've seen the photos of the airport, huh...... You guys, are you okay now? ”

He has received countless similar text messages today, although he is very grateful, but he is indeed a little tired, the corners of his mouth twitched and replied casually: "I can't say if it's good or not......"

After sending it, Chi Jingyuan threw the phone to the side, didn't bother to sit down, and lay down directly, looking at the wooden plank on the upper bunk in a daze.

It's just that before he could think about so many things that had happened in the past two days, the mobile phone next to him began to vibrate again, Chi Jingyuan reached out and fumbled twice, took the mobile phone, clicked on the message sent by the other party, and the screen suddenly lit up.

Bae Joo-hyun directly sent a selfie.

In the photo, Bae Joo-hyun is still in the brightly lit practice room, the bangs on his forehead are a little messy, he should have just finished practicing at this time, there is obvious sweat on his face and forehead, and his face is red and his body should be quite hot.

A face that took up more than two-thirds of the entire photograph seemed to make a scrutinizing expression, but the slight smile on the corners of her mouth broke the serious atmosphere she had tried to create.

At this time, she was half-squatting on the floor, staring at the camera with her eyes wide open, poking her head out, and the reflection of her mobile phone and hand could be faintly seen in the child's hole.

There is also a line under the selfie: "If I can't say it, then I'll take a look for myself." ”
