Chapter 21 The Road to Work

"Thank you for your hard work......

"Then let's take our leave."

Ji Jingyuan and the members left the studio with their agent after smiling and saying goodbye to the staff and Liu Renna, who hosted the show.

Today is March 5th...... It's already the 6th after 12 o'clock, and they have just finished recording KBS's radio program "Yoo In-na's Voluup", and the last trip on the 5th today is finally completed, and the EXO people who have been busy all day can finally take a breather.

The agent and assistant strode to the front, the members of XO, each holding a drink and a backpack, followed behind slowly, an elevator was a little unable to sit down, the agent went down first, and when EXO had nothing to do and waited for the next one, Kim Jong-in threw his backpack back casually, remembering the recorded scene just now, he couldn't help but smack his lips: "Anyway, Liu Renna's predecessor is really in good shape, you just noticed that there is no ......"

"It's all your own people, so you don't have to pretend to be so polite, right?"

Park Chanyeol sighed, glanced around, there were no outsiders present except EXO, and said a word sleepily.

Kim Jong-in also looked around, shook his head and laughed.

"The figure is indeed very good, and it is really amazing to be able to maintain it so well at this age." Wu Shixun nodded and analyzed a few sentences with the appearance of an experienced person, and then asked curiously, "By the way, have Liu Renna Xi and Ji Hyunwoo broken up?"

"I broke up a long time ago, I remember that Ji Hyun-woo enlisted in the army two days after the relationship was announced, and then more than a year later, and two days after he was discharged from the army, he announced his breakup......" Park Chanyeol seems to have paid special attention to it, and he is very skilled in telling the relationship process between the two, and he added at the end: "I don't know what the meaning of disclosure is, it feels like it's just to stir up the heat before enlisting in the army."

Ji Jingyuan nodded approvingly when he listened, he had similar thoughts to Park Chanyeol.

Speaking of which, it feels quite similar to Yuna's predecessors, at the beginning of last year, as soon as the relationship was exposed, I heard that Lee Seung-gi was going to enlist in the army, and some people speculated that it was hype, but it turned out that it had been a year and there was still no letter.

Isn't it hype?

The elevator opened, and six people walked in together, pressing the button on the first floor.

Unless it's a more important radio station, EXO usually doesn't come together in a large group on this kind of trip, and only 6 people came this time today.

"Maybe people have been dating a long time ago, but it just happened to be public at that time...... So Liu Renna Xi is not in the window period now?" Kim Jong-in raised his eyebrows with a vivid expression, and he looked really interesting, in stark contrast to the way he sat for several hours without saying a few words when he was recording the radio just now, and his sullen nature was clear at a glance.

"Are you really interested? The ambiguous girl from before stopped talking?"

"Which one are you talking about...... I'm just asking."

"No, it's a little bit older, isn't it?"

Speaking of the topic of female artists, it is still a female artist who has just finished cooperating, and the desire of several people to chat suddenly came up, because the drowsiness of being too late seemed to be dispelled a lot, and the elevator soon became lively.

"Who knows, if I look at her, she doesn't look like someone who has a long window period...... Do you need me to get in touch with someone I know for you?" Park Chanyeol touched his chin and analyzed it with his own experience, but before Kim Jong-in could reply, he quickly raised his head, looked at the other party and waved his hand: "But I don't feel like it's a show, the actresses in the circle are very pretty, even if they are dating, they rarely look for idol singers, and the circles on both sides are not the same."

"Actors? Then let Jingyuan try it, it must be no problem for the representative of the young actors of the ULI Peninsula to come out, and didn't I hear that Liu Renna and IU also have a good relationship? I can also get to know IU by the way."

"Jingyuan needs to know IU through others? I guess he already has IU's contact information."

"Ding" The elevator reached the first floor, EXO walked out of the elevator with great interest, Wu Shixun pouted with a smile when he heard the words, and he knew Ji Jingyuan's appearance very well: "

But I remember that he didn't like people who were too much older than him, and when we weren't popular in the year of his debut, the captain of Rainbo's chase was rejected for this reason."

"When you say that, I remember, at that time, the "Idol Games" Jin Zhijing was specially here to talk...... It turns out that Jing Yuan likes young girls."

Park Chanyeol nodded in surprise when he heard this, but soon looked at Ji Jingyuan who was walking in front in surprise: "Then what about him and Bae Joo-hyun......

Chi Jingyuan, who was listening to the gossip next to him, found that he had inexplicably become the center of the topic, and glanced at a few long-tongued women helplessly, and instinctively quickened his pace and took the lead in walking out of the gate of KBS.

Why is your mouth so broken?

As soon as I walked out of the door, I felt a cold wind coming, and the warm indoor air conditioning made several people in EXO a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly tightened their collars, and Chi Jingyuan directly put on the hat of the sweatshirt.

Although the daytime temperature has risen a lot in March, the temperature at night is still a little chilly.

It was already past two o'clock in the morning, but the KBS building was still full of glamour, and there were many staff members coming in and out outside, and it didn't look like it was approaching late at night.

EXO and his party walked a few steps towards the parking lot outside, Ji Jingyuan glanced at it casually, and suddenly found that there were more than a dozen girls standing on the side of the road outside the KBS gate at this time, and there was an EXO support banner next to him that he was very familiar with, and then he looked back curiously and asked the members, "Is that our fan?"

Several people also looked over, and Jin Junmian confirmed it and nodded: "It should be, I also saw the EXO logo."

"Then what are they doing here so late, they won't be squatting on us, right?"

The hat of the sweatshirt was a little big, and the brim of the hat that hung down reached the eyelashes, and Chi Jingyuan looked up at the girl over there slightly, blinking and feeling a little surprised.

It's past two o'clock in the morning, many shops in Seoul have long been closed, and the streets are empty for half a day, and there are few cars passing by, which means that TV stations related to the entertainment industry like KBS can be a little more lively.

"No, our radio station this time is pre-recorded, and there is no announcement on the official website that fans should not know about this itinerary...... I guess it's either the fans who are waiting for our Music Bank to go to work tomorrow morning, or the ones who have been selected to come in to see our pre-recorded dinner on stage."

"Does that need to be so early? I thought it would be five or six o'clock to line up to enter the venue......" Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but have a complex brilliance when he looked at his gaze in that direction.

Under the dim street lamp, more than a dozen girls gathered on the side of the road, some sat on the shoulder of the road with their mobile phones and didn't know what they were looking at, some got together in twos and threes, chatting quietly with the items in their arms, and some seemed to be sitting there because the temperature was relatively low.

There was a burst of light in the brightly lit KBS building, mixed with the dim street lamps and sprinkled on their faces, but the faces of these fans looked so hazy under the light that even their facial features were a little difficult to see.

Chi Jingyuan looked at the time, half past two in the morning on March 6.

At the point when everyone else is already asleep, there are already fans gathered in front of KBS, waiting for EXO's commute to work and stage pre-recording tomorrow morning.

γ€Œβ€¦β€¦γ€

Hearing Jin Junmian say this, several members of EXO couldn't help but look over there for a while, and the rich conversation just now suddenly dissipated for some reason, and the whole team was a little silent, and after watching it for a while, I don't know who sighed softly and said "Let's go", and the six of them walked straight to the parking lot, without attracting the attention of a dozen fans over there.

The nanny car started quickly, drove out of the parking lot, and sped through the empty road, leaving only the roar of the engine.

……

Early the next morning, EXO, who came back in the middle of the night last night and hadn't slept for a few hours, was called up by his agent

, I washed my face under the physical awakening of the agent, and after choosing the clothes, I went to the beauty salon in a delirium and started styling.

EXO, who has long been out of the rookie period and has become a trending group, didn't have to queue up early in the morning to do styling with people as they did when they first debuted, and they are usually doing it slowly from dy to the lounge backstage of the singing show.

However, today is the first time they have recorded "Music Bank" this time, and the company expects that there will be many fans waiting for them to go to work at the door.

"Music Bank", as one of the three major singing programs, will definitely participate in as long as idol returns, so KBS's commute to work is very famous in the fandom.

The commuting road is a unique part of "Music Bank", the location is at the entrance of the KBS building, to put it bluntly, it is a small courtyard, separated by a fence and a telescopic door, and the idol gets off in the parking lot and walks from the yard gate to the building The road to work is the commuting road.

This also gives fans who want to see idols with their own eyes the best opportunity, their idols return to participate in "Music Bank", as long as they go there early, they will inevitably see their idols go to work.

Because you can take pictures of idols up close and unfettered and even have the opportunity to chat, this also makes the entrance of KBS a holy place for countless fans and tourists to squat and check in.

However, if you want to see idols are not only in KBS, "Muntdon" can actually do it, although "Muntdon" does not go to work, but fans can enter the first floor of the studio to wait, sometimes the recorded idol will come out to buy things or go to the bathroom, at this time, if you squat to the fans, you can go up to touch it, and even if you are bold, you can directly follow up with the bathroom.

It's just that a combination like EXO won't announce when it will go to the TV station to record, it may come at noon, or it may come early in the morning or even before dawn, so if you want to stay in it, you have to go long in advance so that you don't miss it.

Like the dozen fans who came to the door in the early hours of the morning last night, it really shocked Chi Jingyuan.

Even though he didn't even see each other's faces, and he didn't know his name, he was still deeply impressed.

"XO is coming, XO is coming......

"Ah!!h

After getting out of the car, he had just walked forward for two minutes, when Chi Jingyuan heard a piercing shout, followed by a torrent of countless noisy screams and discussions, and it was impossible to hear what they were shouting at a little distance.

There were already countless fans waiting on both sides of the road ahead, and they gathered there to travel in a sea of people, and the oppressive part of the road looked very spectacular, and the KBS staff in yellow overalls next to them were trying to maintain order.

As soon as EXO appeared, he heard the sound of the shutter clicking, and many of the fans present were holding extremely professional SLR cameras with cannon lenses and tripods, followed by ordinary cameras, and then mobile phones.

Those standing in the front row can also aim at the focal length, and those in the back row who don't grab the position can only raise it high and press the shutter to shoot what's what.

However, there are also more professional ones in the back row, which may be a folding bench or a folding ladder prepared in advance, standing very high and conspicuous, holding a camera condescendingly and taking pictures quickly.

γ€Œβ€¦β€¦γ€

The nine members of EXO lined up and walked briskly towards the KBS gate, smiling brightly as they walked, and kept greeting the shouting fans around them, and the work of idol was very well executed.

γ€ŒYuan! Yuan, take a look this way, look this way!"

Chi Jingyuan also smiled and kept waving to the fans next to him, and after hearing a sad and somewhat familiar shout, he also looked over with the voice, only to see a somewhat familiar female fan holding a high-end camera, and there was a shelf underneath

The tripod was patting at him, and he didn't know how long in advance he could grab such a good spot.

Chi Jingyuan recognized that it should be a station sister who was a fan of his own, and he often met familiar faces at events, he smiled and compared a scissor hand to the camera, and when he saw the response, the other party was very satisfied and immediately pressed the shutter frantically.

To be honest, Ji Jingyuan didn't have the complaint that he was shouted by his agent early in the morning, on the contrary, he was quite lucky, if he hadn't gotten up in advance to go to the beauty salon for styling, the members would have come to work in disguise and dressed tightly, and hurriedly shuttled through the crowd.

In this way, I always feel a little sorry for so much, so early to squat, and so enthusiastic Ellie.

However, it is estimated that it is the first time that they have returned to work in "Music Bank", and it is impossible for them to get up early in the morning to get the styling done every time.

After letting the other party take a few photos, he quickly followed the XO team in front of him, and at the same time swept around with an inquiring eye, as if he was looking forward to seeing the fans who came to wait in the early hours of last night, although he didn't see his face clearly yesterday, but he felt that if there was a look at each other, he should be able to feel it.

It's just a pity that there are too many people, and I haven't found them all the way through the door.

The entrance of KBS was already full of fans, and the telescopic door only opened a small opening for idols to enter, and with the help of staff and assistants, EXO struggled to squeeze in through the crowd.

There are two customary standing photo spots in the courtyard, and most idols will generally stand at the two points in turn, which is convenient for fans to take pictures, and at the same time can increase some exposure.

However, EXO is used to standing only one point......

"1, 2, 3, eareone, Anihassai, we are EXO."

However, after walking through the door, EXO stood in a row, shouted the iconic slogan with a thumbs up, and saluted the fans and reporters, followed by a continuous burst of crazy flashing lights, directly reflecting all nine people's faces in bright white.

Even the specially trained Chi Jingyuan was a little unbearable, although his smile remained the same, but because it was too dazzling, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Look this way!"

After turning a few directions for fans in different places to finish filming, the short shooting time ended quickly, and after EXO saluted and said goodbye to the fans again, he strode into the KBS building, and the return song "Music Bank" came to work perfectly.

And after them, after the next boy group appeared, the whole scene suddenly became a lot colder, and the boiling shouts and screams disappeared immediately, many people just looked at this boy group curiously but did not have a lot of enthusiasm, except for some die-hard fans in the photo session, even the reporter felt a little perfunctory.

This very different treatment also made many passers-by and fans who witnessed it sigh in their hearts, they are both men's groups, but the gap is very different and difficult to measure.

"Hey Yigu, how did we choose this time to come back, and we just happened to collide with you XO."

"If Brother Jean doesn't have one, how faceless it is."

Eunhyuk hugged Kim Junmian and yelled in EXO's lounge, and slapped the sofa a few times in a row with a very remorseful look.

The SuperJunior team D&a;E composed of Eunhyuk and Donghae will officially return on March 9th, and today will be the first stage of the recording of "Music Bank", just now as the juniors of EXO selected Kim Jun-mian and Park Chanyeol to take the initiative to visit their lounge, but the two brothers felt that they were a little bored, and after doing the styling, they followed back to EXO's lounge directly, sitting on the sofa and chatting with outsiders at all.

It didn't take long for the news to probably get the news.,Aer, a member of the solo in FX, also ran over.,Together, all the SM artists who participated in this issue of "Music Bank" gathered.,For a while, the whole lounge became very lively.。

Thanks to EXO's popularity, the number of members is still large, and the program is participating

The lounge is huge, otherwise it really can't sit so many people.

"Jinjia, now I will encourage them XO's popularity and momentum, even if our team returns to collide with them, it is estimated that they will not be able to get one by one, let alone the two of us, don't think about it......

Li Donghai seemed to be a little interested, leaning back on the sofa and sighing.

"Isn't it your fault for choosing this return time?"

"What I chose? Elsie, don't talk nonsense, it's obviously arranged by the company...... No, that's what you chose!"

These two members of the previous generation of men's groups at a young age couldn't wait to quarrel directly in front of their juniors, pointing at each other and blaming each other while shirking responsibility, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help laughing.

SJ has been debuting for so many years now, and they don't feel so important about grades, and they may pay more attention to face in comparison.

But then again, returning to hit EXO and not being able to get a singer is actually not a very shameful thing.

What they said is actually not too exaggerated, they can all see the momentum of EXO's return this time, and no one can really snatch the song in their hands when they collide head-on, unless they wait for XO to graduate with three crowns to see if they can take one or two to chat with comfort.

"Alas......" next to Aer also sighed at the right time, her solo results this time are really very average, and the album released on February 16 has not been one by one, and I was thinking about whether I could accumulate two or three weeks to take one by one to save my money, but EXO's return in March was completely out of her thoughts.

The group is now so half-dead, and the members of the team are beginning to think about their personal career development, and the last solo that they finally waited for turned out to be such a song result, Aer was actually not in a very good mood during this time.

Feeling that AER was a little low pressure, Chi Jingyuan glanced over there, but in his heart he remembered his late Cui Xueli in the same year.

I haven't had much contact in the last two days, and I don't know what she's busy with right now during the period when FX didn't have much group activity.

A group of SM artists got together and chatted for a while, and after the set was set up, EXO was called out by the staff to start the stage pre-recording.

In the second week, when I was singing, there was only one stage for the song "allbaby", which was still a well-designed lens language, and the whole process was pseudo-one-shot to the end.

After the stage pre-recording was completed, I went to record an interview with "one of the alternates" for today, and then sat in the lounge and waited for the live broadcast to start in the evening.

……

"In the first week of March 2015, "Music Bank" was released, who will be the first place EXO or VIXX...... Please publish the scores!"

At this time, MC Park Seo-joon and Yoon Bo-ra were standing in the center of the stage and were talking about the host, and today's two alternates, EXO and VIXX, stood on both sides of the MC, looking at the monitor in front of them.

Ji Jingyuan looked quite relaxed and had time to observe the side, several members of EXO were obviously a little worried about whether they could get the first hit song after returning today, while VIXX was even more nervous, staring at the monitor without blinking.

"Source Score: 3327 vs. 1621."

"Audience favorability: 598 to 0."

"Broadcast score: 265 to 1390."

"Discography: 8491 vs. 4342."

"Overall ......"

"EXO12681 to VIXX7353."

"Today's glorious one is EXO, Rough Kamida!"
