EXO's Winter Special Comeback showcase was held at the Garden Stage Theater in Lotte World, and SM had already been screened through various channels before the quota was available, and thousands of fans were already waiting under the stage, and thousands of silver glowing Alice sticks stood out in the darkening sky.

Because of the venue, the number of viewers who can go to the scene is not very large, and the number of places is less than 2,000 people, of course, it is a drop in the bucket compared to EXO's huge number of fans, but today's showcase is not only to show the return, but the main thing is the cooperation with V live, and the whole showcase will be broadcast live on V APP throughout the whole process, attracting more fans and users for EXO and V APP.

At seven o'clock in the evening, EXO officially appeared in the screams of fans, and directly sang "boy with luv" to ignite the atmosphere of the audience.

There aren't many stages today, and most of them are actually interacting and chatting.

"Every time you say a word, you will feel very intense here, and the voices of the people are really powerful." The host of today's showcase is Wu Jingyan as an announcer, she showed off her figure in a hip skirt in the winter, and sat next to her and said her lines enthusiastically: "It's really worthy of being a super-powerful world boy group EXO, its popularity has conquered all fans, and it's been a really fulfilling year in this year......"

"We reviewed and sorted out all the very meaningful trips of EXO in 2015 this year, and sorted out the relevant keywords, so let's watch and talk about them...... Look at the big screen! ”

With Wu Jingyan hosting, Ji Jingyuan took the opportunity to look back at the big screen behind him, and many white entries appeared on the black screen, each of which can represent a glorious history of EXO this year.

#call me baby, #boy with luv, #EXO-L, #one million, #billboard, #二巡等等, and #sing for you in the middle.

Although it had actually been rehearsed backstage, seeing each of these entries that could reflect a certain event again, Chi Jingyuan still felt a little emotional.

I've done so much this year......

“…… How do you feel about Yuan xi? ”

After the previous members finished speaking, it was Chi Jingyuan's turn, Wu Jingyan listened to the pleasant cheers below, looked at him with a smile and asked.

"If you think about it......"

Chi Jingyuan held the microphone and groaned slightly.

This year is an extremely brilliant year for EXO's career, after experiencing the members falling in love, many people quitting the group, the prospect is bleak, and everyone is looking down on 2015, they have changed their decline this year, and the adversity has risen, not only clearing up a lot of bad influences from twelve to nine, but also officially becoming the TOP boy group of this generation.

Chi Jingyuan's own popularity has also risen, and he still firmly maintains the TOP position in the team, saying that he is the hottest male idol on the peninsula today, in fact, not many people will have objections, even if there are some recent black fans, they are just reluctant to refute, at most add a 'one' to the back of this title.

However, this kind of celebratory speech has been said many times this year, and some of the previous members also lamented this year's success, but when he arrived here, he was no longer excited about it, but had a different feeling.

"My current impression is ......" He looked back at the entries on the big screen again, and then looked at the fans below and said seriously: "I feel that time flies really quickly, in the blink of an eye, I have been debuting for almost four years, and now I think back to the time when I first joined the company and the group, many memories are still very clear, and some of the itinerary after my debut is also very clear...... I'm almost 23 years old now, and I've just taken my school's year-end exams some time ago, and I'm about to graduate next year...... I don't think it's been long since I got into university. ”

"Hahaha......" Hearing the last joke, the fans below laughed.

"Ah, it's really going by so fast......" Finally, Chi Jingyuan looked at the starry dim sky and sighed sincerely.

This is not a line prepared in advance, it is indeed what he really thinks at this time.

Looking back, the day he joined SM seems to be just yesterday, and looking at everything in front of him now, four years have passed in a flash, and he has also gone from a teenager who likes to sing and dance, and finally got permission from his family to come out and look forward to going on the stage, to become the most popular TOP idol today, no matter from what point of view, the experience and things encountered in the past few years are wonderful.

I met a lot of friends in the middle, met a lot of things, had a good impression of some people, and was liked by many people.

But it's actually a bit of a fly in the ointment, and he doesn't have a serious dating partner until now.

Actually, it's quite a pity......

Ji Jingyuan's emotion also seemed to affect several other members, after hearing his words, many people were also a little empathetic, and the next few people also lamented that time was fleeting, especially the eldest brother Kim Min-seok, who was already twenty-six or seventeen years old, and he would go to military service in a few years.

But after all, it was a showcase and not a wine table, and the scene and atmosphere were not suitable for them to sigh at this time, and soon several people cheered up and began to focus on work.

More than an hour later, in the cheerful music and singing of "Eccentric", today's showcase officially ended, feeling the hot atmosphere of the audience and the swaying bodies and smiling faces of fans, Ji Jingyuan also nodded happily.

The song "Eccentricity" is really cheerful, it is a song that makes people happy after listening to it, and he actually likes this song more than "Sing for You" this time in winter.

"Brother, how's it going?"

After saying goodbye to the audience and returning backstage, Park Chanyeol asked directly to the agent.

He asked about the data of this showcase live broadcast, and this brother has always been very concerned about live broadcasts.

"Don't be in such a hurry, drink some water first." The agent smiled and beckoned, took a few bottles of drinks and handed them over, and after feeling that several other members had also looked at him, he clapped his hands with a smile, and said loudly with satisfaction: "Nearly two million viewers watched the whole process, and more than 90 million likes, which is the highest live broadcast data of V APP so far." ”

"Wow!"

“nice！”

Several members of the team immediately screamed excitedly when they heard this.

This data is really a bit scary,Today's V APP still has a lot of problems,UI is stupid and inconvenient,The server is sparse and often stuck,What's even more disgusting is that a person can only like five points in a row.,And then it's going to fall into buffering.,Can't be a continuous point.。

It's full of anti-human settings.

But it's still quite hot.

V LIVE, a live streaming app, has developed rapidly since its launch in September, and most of the idol groups on the peninsula have opened accounts on it for live broadcasts, and has become another place for artists to expose and attract fans in addition to TV stations.

To be honest, EXO's contribution to the promotion is still very large.

Today's successful showcase is a good start to this return, which makes the entire EXO team quite excited, and several brothers and Ji Jingyuan have already begun to discuss where to eat:

"Why don't you find a place to celebrate?"

"I'm going to go to SBS to record a show later, so how can I have time."

"Go back and order supper at night, the barbecue you ordered last time tasted very good, and by the way, you can play computer or board games or the like......" Chi Jingyuan took a sip of his drink and made an opinion, but added later: "But I can't sleep too late, I have to get up early tomorrow to record "Yinyin""

"yi~ Are you showing off?"

…………

“…… That's probably all there is to today's recording, and the focus of the next work is to prepare for the Christmas special, and Christmas Day on the 25th happens to be the Golden Day, which is also the time for our "Sound Silver" to be broadcast. ”

"So this last special of the year is also very important, and we have already confirmed the artist appearance contract with several agencies......"

On December 11th, a group of staff and two MCs were in a meeting in the office of the KBS "Music Bank" program team, and PD Han Kyung-chul was giving a detailed introduction to today's and the last two remaining episodes of 2015.

Christmas is one of the most important festivals in the peninsula, and basically all the programs that are broadcast on the two days before and after Christmas will have a special feature at that time.

Chi Jingyuan listened carefully to PD's introduction, looking at the long list of 'Christmas Specials' scheduled artists displayed on the information in his hand, what EXO, CNBLUE, infinite, Apink, red velvet, twice, Gfrien, etc., there are old first-line groups, and there are also many newcomers with good results, it is really luxurious, not lost to many platter concerts, it can be seen that the program team still attaches great importance to this last episode of the year.

In the end, he looked at the two MCs Ji Jingyuan and Bae Joo-hyun sitting next to him, and instructed: "When the time comes, Jingyuan, you and Irene, the two MCs, will also take a cooperative stage to come out, and we have already communicated with your company about the specific stage plan, so you two can take advantage of the recent hurry up and practice, and you can communicate by yourself." ”

The two MCs are the magic weapon of "Music Bank" today, and the program team is certainly impossible to waste.

“……”

Hearing this, Ji Jingyuan and Bae Joo-hyun, who were sitting nearby, both raised their heads, turned to look at each other in unison, and then quickly looked at PD Han Kyung-cheol together, and nodded:

"I see."

"Okay."

After the meeting, Ji Jingyuan and Bae Joo-hyun left the conference room and entered the work state, rehearsing in advance, communicating with guests, etc.

Compared with the last issue of the last issue, one person engaged in these things to highlight a boredom, Ji Jingyuan still clearly felt that today's work is much easier and more comfortable than before, and the time passed quickly, and soon it was time for lunch, Ji Jingyuan and Bae Zhuhyun sat on the sofa in the waiting room and ate at the table in front of them, and the agents of the two sat in the corner and ate silently together.

Lunch is provided by the program team, bibimbap, ramen, and Chinese set meals are optional, and they are quite rich.

The agent ate relatively quickly, and after a quick two bites, he ate almost, said hello and walked out, either going to the toilet or smoking.

After the agent went out, the lounge seemed a little quiet, only the subtle sound of gentle chewing kept ringing, Chi Jingyuan looked at the message on his mobile phone while eating, after he picked up the last piece of meat on the plate and fed it into his mouth, he suddenly stretched out a pair of chopsticks from the side, and successively sandwiched a few pieces of pot-wrapped meat, and Pei Zhuxun's voice also came at the same time:

"I'll give you this......

Ji Jingyuan, who was attracted to attention, turned his head to look at her with his cheeks, and Pei Zhuhyun didn't turn his head when he noticed it, staring at the bowl in front of him and said casually: "These things are too high in calories, I have been managing my body recently, and I can't eat them." ”

"Do you still need body management?" Ji Jingyuan chewed on what was in his mouth, swept her wrapped figure up and down, and finally stopped at the tied golden braid and the well-defined side face.

Bae Joo-hyun took small sips of food and said very naturally: "Yes, I still don't look slim enough on camera now." ”

“……”

Glancing at the young lady's lightly bulging cheeks and lips that were stained with some oil, Chi Jingyuan nodded and didn't persuade, and directly fed the meat that the other party had just brought into his mouth.

The two of them sat together and ate quietly, pinching the chopsticks twice from time to time, and then there was a quiet chat, and the atmosphere was warm.

Although Chi Jingyuan took the initiative to invite two days ago, the two of them didn't have the opportunity to eat together in the past few days because they were too busy, but today they got together because of "Music Bank".

The location may be a little wrong, but the people are right.

"Joy and Lu Xingcai's "We Are Married" has quite good reviews on the Internet, and I went to watch two issues after listening to you last time, and both of them performed very well."

After eating for a while, Chi Jingyuan seemed to remember something, put down his phone and casually mentioned: "What is your situation now?" ”

"I guess we're dating......

Speaking of this, Bae Joo-hyun's chopsticks couldn't help but stop, licked the corners of her mouth lightly, and then said in a slightly hesitant tone: "I want to find a time to talk to her." ”

"What are you talking about?"

“……”

The young lady glanced at Chi Jingyuan, she didn't believe that this person didn't know what to talk about.

Ji Jingyuan glanced at Bae Joo-hyun to the side, feeling a little funny.

You don't think that your group is dating Park so-young, you don't feel that you are not dating in the eyes of your members, right?

And the members of the group are in love, and the other members follow the gossip and listen to the story for reference, but it's really not suitable for meddlers and will resent.

In 2012, when EXO debuted, as far as Ji Jingyuan himself knew, several members had found a female ticket to fall in love, and the captain Jin Junmian also knew it, but he never said anything, but would take the initiative to help cover many times.

Although there may be reasons why he is in a relationship himself, it is more that he knows some of the ways very well.

However, Bae Joo-hyun herself is the captain, I heard that there are still some captains with actual power, she has her own responsibility and style of doing things, Ji Jingyuan naturally won't persuade her anything, anyway, it's not a big deal.

This topic did not affect the atmosphere of the table, eating and chatting, and after a few minutes, when the plate bottomed out, Bae Joo-hyun suddenly asked, "By the way, aren't you returning?" Why is the first stage not in today's "Music Silver", but tomorrow's "Music Center"? ”

"Who knows, the company arranged it."

Chi Jingyuan shrugged his shoulders and said that it didn't matter: "Anyway, I won't play a few songs in this winter school, and I won't be able to participate in the ...... later."

"That's right, you're going to join the group filming...... Well, I've listened to your winter album this time, and I've listened to the two main songs of "Sing For You" and "Eccentric" a few times......"

"Huh?" He raised an eyebrow.

The young lady had already eaten at this time, took out a wet tissue from the side and handed it to Chi Jingyuan first, and then took it herself and gently wiped her mouth, her little hand held a pure white tissue and tapped it a few times at the corner of her mouth, her movements were gentle and elegant, looking a little sultry, and at the same time she didn't look this way, but said with some meaning:

"But I feel ...... Not as good as last year. ”

Chi Jingyuan took the tissue and wiped her mouth, looked at her spirited appearance, and laughed out loud:

"Of course."

……

The first stage of EXO's return to this winter special was placed on MBC's "Music Center" on the 12th, although the resources and treatment of the winter special are not as good as the regular album, but they still attach great importance to the songs on the first stage, and they got up early in the morning and rushed to the TV station.

"Music Center", as one of the most valuable "singing programs of the three major TV stations", has now a feeling that it is not as good as it used to be.

I don't know what the program team thinks, "Music Center" underwent a major revision in November this year, and directly canceled the 'one-person ranking system', from that day on, each episode of the program will no longer do song rankings, and no longer award one.

In other words, "In the Sound" has changed from a singing show to a pure stage performance program.

This is not the first time that Music Center has done so, they canceled the rankings in 2006, only to revert back to them in 13 years, and now they are canceled again, highlighting a vacillation and instability.

This time, the statement of the MBC variety show headquarters is probably like this: "Because the major lists already have rankings, it makes no sense for us to do any more rankings and one place, and then if the rankings are canceled, we and the guests can pay more attention to stage performances and increase the richness of content and program value." ”

That is to say, but the performance is not like that, and the continued decline in ratings is the most obvious confirmation.

The stage of idol guests will not be more exciting and better because you don't engage in rankings, and it is even possible that you will not take it seriously because you do not engage in rankings and the ratings will become lower.

Ji Jingyuan thinks that this "Music Center" will have to be changed back sooner or later, originally the target group of this kind of singing show is Kpop fans, and fans of different groups like the whole second and second the most, up and down, many people watch songs just to see the ranking and last place of the idol, and then blow it, spray it, and then show off and scold, and so on.

And Peninsula people love all kinds of rankings, and they like to engage in all kinds of inexplicable lists such as "the most popular female idol", "the male idol who wants to date the most", "when you do the subway and arrive at the terminal, you want that idol to wait for you there".

If you don't do rankings or lists for a singing show, is that still called 'singing'? There will definitely be fewer people to see.

However, in this way, it has cast the last legendary title in the history of IU Lee Ji-eun's "Music Center".

At the same time, in order to revise the version, the program team has made a lot of changes, first of all, the three fixed MCs all got off, including Chi Jingyuan's very familiar Shinee Minhao and Jin Yilin, these two acted as fixed MCs in May, and they were affected after only six months, Cui Minhao has no shortage of notices, but it's okay, Jin Yilin is a little unlucky.

After the EXO group came to MBC, they immediately entered the work state, because their coffee position and popularity are here, there must be many supporting links such as interviews, and after a while, the two new MCs came to their lounge to start communicating about today's work.

Chi Jingyuan keenly noticed that these two MCs often looked at him after they came in, and there was some indescribable meaning in their eyes.

After the previous three MCs got off the bus, the program team also changed the norm and no longer used idol as MC, but found two young actors, actress Kim Sae-ryun and newcomer actor Kim Min-jae.

And I don't know if it's a requirement of the program team, since taking office. The style of these two actors and MCs hosting, and some interactions that are visible to the naked eye are imitating the CP of "Music Silver", with ambiguous lines and sweet interactions as the main features, it seems that they want to replicate the ratings miracle of "Music Bank" today.

It's a pity that the appearance is a little worse, compared to Ji Jingyuan and Bae Joo-hyun, these two people have a bit of a monkey version, plus the two don't have that tacit sense of understanding, every interaction seems a little deliberate and embarrassing, and it can't give the audience that sweet feeling of wanting to knock, not only does it not help much for the ratings after a month, but it is also ridiculed by many fans of Yinyin CP on the Internet.

When I saw these comments on the Internet, Chi Jingyuan was actually quite refreshed.

Do you really think that the 'boy group god' is a name that is installed casually? Just find a new actor and think of my effect?

Joke......

By the way, there is also Bae Joo-hyun.

After today's "Music Center", the EXO group returned to the company for a short rest and rushed to Incheon International Airport, where they took a flight overnight to Jinling in the summer country to prepare for the next day's concert.

EXO's second tour of the mainland is nearing the end of the concert schedule, and there are only a few left.

After the performance itinerary, Ji Jingyuan hurriedly returned to Seoul, and after running several brand promotion trips, he rushed to MBC with his agent in the evening, ready to record the last Christmas girl group special of his substitute for the MC of "Zhou Puppet".
