e entered, her lips pursed as she stared intently at his face without blinking for several seconds. She seemed to remember the cameras were rolling and casually shifted her gaze in another direction....Ji Chang-wook, Wu Shixun, and Beomgyu came out of the restroom. They saw fans who were excitedly waiting for them but were too shy to approach. The three waved and smiled at the fans before walking towards the backstage with the other members.

After the rehearsal was finished, EXO didn't have much to do. Park Chanyeol and a few others went out to visit someone, while the others were in the waiting room doing their own things. After playing for a while, Baekhyun called everyone together to go to the bathroom, so they all followed him.

Recording a singing competition show is actually quite time-consuming. Generally, you need to come to the TV station in the morning first to do your styling and then wait for several rounds of rehearsals. Sometimes there are also some special filming activities or interviews. Even if there's nothing else, after rehearsal, you have to stay in the waiting room until the live broadcast in the evening. Then, at the end of the program, you go on stage to present an award cup. It can be said that almost a whole day is spent directly.

Can't find them anywhere. Every time they record a music show, they disappear from the waiting room for a while.

Bian Bianxian walked in front, casually chatting about the two members who had disappeared from sight since just now, smacking his lips and not knowing whether it was dissatisfaction or a bit of longing.

As the member of EXO who enjoys socializing the most and is particularly fond of interacting with female idols, Park Chan-yeol always makes it a point to visit and get acquainted with them whenever possible. Since his debut, he's accumulated countless female idol contacts in his phone – he's lost count!

As far as Chi Jingyuan knew, it was likely not just female idols, but also fans or makeup artists, etc.

While Kim Jong-in doesn't speak often on the surface, he has a lot going on inside. He's actually quite good at putting on a show when he needs to, and the two of them hit it off immediately.

However, Bian Chenxian said that he wasn't envious. With EXO's current popularity and income, every member is actually quite sought after in the industry. If they wanted to date, they wouldn't lack for options. It just depends whether or not they're interested and like them.

"Today, there aren't many girl groups we know participating. I checked the guest list for the performance, and besides Red Velvet, there are only Lovelyz, Ste, and So-yeon who debuted solo. Where did they find everyone else" Woo Se-hoon recalled for a moment before shaking his head helplessly.

"Why couldn't it be a male idol" Ji Jingyuan tilted his head and looked over, asking with the innocent curiosity of a child.

What are you putting in it

"Haha, I think it's possible."

Three people chatted and laughed as they rode the elevator up. After arriving, the hallway became much narrower, with staff members and agents with name tags on their chests frequently passing by.

After walking a few steps, several familiar voices suddenly came from the front. Li Jingyuan raised his head and saw five members of Red Velvet on the right side of the corridor in front, looking at a laptop and talking to each other. There were also VJs and managers beside them, filming.

As exo walked closer, the VJ seemed to get the hint and quickly turned the camera to face them, capturing them in the shot.

"Anihaseyo..." Lee De-be and several others hurriedly greeted warmly, while the three of Pool Kyung-won also smiled and nodded as they approached. Bin Beom-hyun looked back and forth a couple of times with a curious expression and asked, "What are you doing"

"Alright, senior, we're going to watch an 'icecream cake' video and do a reaction." Sun Seungwan smiled brightly in front of the camera. Seeing that captain, leader, Bae Joohyun wasn't speaking, she confidently introduced herself. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Like that..." Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan nodded understandingly. He estimated it was for promotion, some special shooting activities prepared, often happens when returning.

Then refuel.

Pool Kyung-won and the ever-silent Bae Joo-hyun glanced at each other, smiled, and walked to her side. They greeted the approaching Beomgyu and Wu Se-hun with a fist pump toward the camera, cheering on their junior sister: "《icecreacake》 comeback success! redvelvetfightg!"

"Congratulations!" A few people quickly replied with thanks, smiling like blossoming flowers, all looking very happy.

He didn't say much either, after a quick "加油" he waved goodbye and they left. After walking a few meters, the chattering sounds came again. Ji Jingyuan couldn't help but glance back with his head tilted, shook his head and chuckled.

Red Velvet is really energetic on their first day back. I hope they do well this time.

By the third week of their promotions, EXO had started performing live on stage instead of using pre-recorded performances like they did before.

Although there are no sets and fancy camera shots, the live performance still uses the members' movements on stage and camera language to achieve a similar one-shot effect. The stage effects for "callbaby" are still very impressive and considered the most anticipated performance among viewers of this week's music shows.

By 6 p.m., the show officially began. EXO was the third-to-last act to perform, followed by their senior group SJ's sub-unit and lastly, the senior male group Shinhwa.

"The world is full of wonders and strange sights."

"ana!"

"It is hard to distinguish truth from falsehood."

"baba!"

"callbaby(baby) bacallbaby(baby)"

The stage, bathed in dazzling lights and camera flashes, looked incredibly vibrant. Coupled with the orderly and enthusiastic cheers of fans above and below, the atmosphere in the studio was pushed to its peak tonight.

By the second week, Ali's support phrase for the stage performance of the song "Call Baby" had already been decided. The chorus is basically Exo singing a line, which has become a characteristic of the two-week music show performances.

After the performance, EXO returned to the waiting room for a short break. They had some water and sat around for a while. Then, when Shinwa was performing, the staff came to remind them to prepare for their final stage award ceremony.

The backstage exit leading to the studio is now packed with waiting idols. Tonight, almost all of the ten-plus idol groups and solo artists performing on 《!c》 are here. They're all chatting quietly with familiar friends while they wait.

Given the current circumstances, this site may close at any time. Please move to huanyuanapp, a permanently operating alternative app, as soon as possible.

Five people were at the back of the crowd. Pei Zhuxuan stood silently against the wall, staring at the floor without speaking, while Jiang Seqi and Kim Yeorin were chatting with several members of gfirend who also stood at the back. They seemed quite familiar with each other, talking to each other one after another.

Just as Pajeuhyeon was listening to the conversations of the other members and lightly tapping her foot on the floor, several familiar voices from behind the corridor gradually came closer.

"...I've been playing really well with Yizere recently, Jingyuan, if you assist me, we can just climb the ranks..."

"If you don't want to play support, you can play anything else, jungling is also good and very easy to win..."

"No, bro. We've been so busy lately that we haven't slept much at night. What game are you playing How are you still in such good shape and winning so easily"

At the sound of that last sentence, Bae Joo-hyeon instantly recognized it was Ji-seong's voice. She stopped rubbing her right foot against the floor and turned her head to look over, and the attention of the several people around her also shifted to where she was looking.

"Haha...

"

Only the nine members of EXO were seen crowding together, laughing happily as they turned from the corner one by one. Jin Jjun-myeon and Kim Si-woo at the front didn't participate in the later chat, walking ahead with big strides wearing their stage makeup from just before the performance, looking very imposing.

Then, Ji Jingyuan, Bian Berhyeon, Wu Shixun, and Park Chan-lyeok came out. They were chatting excitedly. At this moment, they burst into laughter because Bian Berhyeon was bragging and got exposed on the spot. Bian Berhyeon also hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and laughed along with them.

As they turned the corner, they all saw the idols gathered ahead. They felt many eyes staring at them. When they reached a public place, a few people restrained their smiles and their voices gradually lowered.

The front was already almost full of people, and EXO didn't try to squeeze to the front. They just stood casually at the back, whispering to each other while also greeting Red Velvet who were closest to them.

Pool-Jingyuan saw Ginger Sheqi and a few others. Under the gaze of the idols, they walked to their side, nodded to the Gfriend members who were bowing beside them, then took the initiative to extend his hand and shook hands with Ginger Sheqi, who was pouting her cheeks and grinning. He glanced at these people, all with blonde hair.

Remember when Red Velvet first debuted Because their makeup looked very similar, and they all had the same dyed hair at the time, they were called the “quadruplets” because no one could tell who was who.

But this time, even though several people's hair colors are exactly the same, Ke Jingyuan objectively thinks that their styles still look quite similar. Even more so than when they debuted. However, not many people are mentioning things like not being able to tell them apart anymore.

He blinked and started talking about the stage he saw in the dressing room earlier: "Is that gas station you built on stage today just the background from your V"

Today's stage was pre-recorded, Ji Jingyuan didn't go to watch their recording specifically, but just now watched the live broadcast of the program on the player in the lounge.

"Wow, did you see that To recreate the scene from v, the company even built a gas station. What do you think" Jiang Sheqi nodded in surprise, her face lit up with a smile as if waiting for praise while she asked.

"That's great." Chi Jingyuan nodded and agreed, although honestly he thought Debebe's outfit for her debut stage today wasn't very distinctive or special. It was a bit ordinary. However, the stage presence was decent.

“Hehehe…” As expected, Jiang Sheqi gave her familiar smile. That naive charm destroyed her idol's star quality completely.

"When you guys are in the rap phase, why do the other four people have to do push-ups and wipe the floor Is there a special meaning behind this choreography"

"Ah~ I also think the choreography here is strange, I don't know why it's like this…"

"Rolling around on the ground, my knees are starting to hurt..."

As soon as Ji Jingyuan spoke, it immediately resonated. Sun Shengwan and Kim Yeol-in immediately began to complain one after the other, seemingly also having some opinions about the choreography in this place.

Ji Jingyuan glanced at Jin Yelin before him and let out a laugh.

To be honest, he wasn't very familiar with the new member of Red Velvet. They didn't really interact much privately after she joined. However, this girl was not at all awkward. Every time they met, she would greet them proactively and enthusiastically, grinning like a sunflower, making it impossible to dislike her. She was like this whether facing Ji Kyeong-won or other EXO members.

Since he was young, Chi Jingyuan had a few encounters with him and developed a rather good impression. Now that they frequently see each other, he often takes the initiative to say hello.

The Myth stage was quite long for the two songs, with Ji Kyeongwon and Kang Sibeki chatting for a while. Later on, Kim Jjunmyeon and Beomgyu also joined them, forming a group of seniors and juniors from S. They were having a lively gathering near the backstage exit, drawing curious glances from other idols from different companies who couldn't help but steal peeks their way.

">”

He glanced at Kim Jun-Myeon who was lively, then Ji-Sung moved two steps to the side and stood next to IU. Since the beginning of the conversation between these few people, this sister had been smiling at him but hadn't said much, as if there was something on her mind.

Even though he walked to the side, Bae Joo-hyun just kept looking at him, smoothing her hair and winking at Ji Seong.

Chi Jingyuan and she looked at each other without speaking. The two stared at each other for two seconds before standing there listening to the chatter of others nearby. The atmosphere around them became slightly quieter for a moment.

After standing for a while, Ji Jingyuan saw Pei Zhuxuan starting to lightly tap the floor with her feet. He smiled without a trace and approached her quietly. He leaned down close to her ear and, in a low, husky voice, suddenly shouted, "My dear!"

This was something he had listened to several times in the past few days, even making Park Ji-hyun herself feel a little embarrassed—that imitation of Doraemon's voice that was her personal skill.

It's a personal skill that even watching it on TV feels awkward and ridiculous.

"...Suddenly, a strange sound came from beside her. Pei Zhuxuan was startled and jumped back, turning her head to look at Ji Jingyuan for a second before she reacted instantly. Her expression was quite lively. After a second, she couldn't hold it in and let out a 'poof', laughing as if a blooming orchid."

“Ha……” It seemed like she was laughing out of fear, her smile a little too unrestrained, revealing her gums in an almost unpleasant way. She quickly covered her mouth with her left hand, but the smile still lingered on her face, while at the same time, her right hand reflexively reached out to playfully slap Chi Jingyuan who had deliberately imitated her actions.

But just as she reached halfway, she suddenly remembered that they were in the backstage for a singing performance and there were dozens of idol groups standing nearby. She estimated that many people were probably paying attention to them. Pei Zhuxuan quickly retracted her hand. As if to appear more natural, she even covered her ears and pretended to fix her hair at the side of her head as she withdrew her right hand.

The unnecessary action made Ji Jingyuan smile secretly in his heart.

This is something that's a personal technique of Bae Joo-hyun. She herself wouldn't normally be able to bring herself to mention it, and even on the show, she was forcing herself to perform it. This annoying person didn't know how they managed to see the broadcast and specifically learned it on purpose to embarrass her, making Bae Joo-hyun's cheeks flush a light red with embarrassment, hatefully wanting to kick him twice. However, unbeknownst to her, there was a clear hint of happiness brewing deep inside her heart.

With so many people around watching her, she couldn't really do anything to interact. She just glared at Chi Jingyuan with a fierce look in her eyes, then turned away from him, ignoring him. However, the corner of her mouth curled up slightly as if she were trying hard not to laugh.

Ji Jingyuan didn't say anything else, he squinted his eyes and stood behind her, listening to the chat of the members beside him waiting to enter.

"... "

" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"The final score total..."

"EXO versus Shinhwa, 9508 against 7985."

Congratulations to EXO, who earned the top spot on today's chart with "Cream Soda!"

As expected, despite the recent resurgence in popularity and good results, Myth still couldn't resist the unstoppable EXO. Today's trophy was handed to Kim Jun-myeon without any suspense.

Because one person received too many awards, his speech was the same one he had repeated countless times. Even though fans were still happily cheering and listening, the members were actually getting a little tired of hearing it.

After the thanks, EXO members standing in the first row turned around and bowed to thank other idols. As soon as Ji-seong turned around, he saw Kim Ye-rin standing behind him clapping her hands wildly. Her golden hair swayed constantly and her feet tapped excitedly, like a lively sea otter. She seemed even happier than if she had won an award herself.

Jiang Shubi and several others were smiling and applauding the senior for their achievements, looking very excited.

Besides the fact that they are both from the same company and have personal relationships, Red Velvet also has good reason to be happy for EXO.

> Because if EXO doesn't achieve a three-crown graduation, they won't be able to get first place.

The comeback times for both groups are somewhat close, but fortunately, if nothing unexpected happens, by the time next week rolls around EXO will be almost done with several music shows that have triple crown restrictions. Otherwise, facing competition from EXO, Red Velvet would find it really difficult to get their first music show win since their debut during the peak of their comeback's initial popularity.

With the same happy smiles, Park Soo-hyuk and Ji Seong looked at each other. After seeing Ji Seong slightly wrinkle his nose towards him, Ji Sung then laughed and turned to start today's encore stage.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Where did you see it"

On his way back to the dorm in the evening, while sitting on his bed and chatting with his roommate, Park Ji-won received the expected message from Kim Jisoo.

Instead of answering, he countered curiously: "How did you come up with this impersonation of Doraemon"

"...I won't tell you."

"...How do I sound"

Pool Kyung-won looked at the reply from Pei Joo-hyet, thought for a moment and ignored the strange looks from Wu Shixun and Do Kyungsoo beside him. He spoke into the microphone, mimicking his own voice, and gave her a demonstration:

"Dear relatives!"

On the other side, when Pei Joo-hyeon saw that Ji Kyeong-won sent her a voice message, she glanced at her roommate, quickly lowered her phone's volume to the minimum, and then quietly shrank into the bed, holding the phone to her ear to play the voice message. After listening, her eyes were filled with contented joy, but the corner of her mouth twitched slightly:

"Not at all."

…………

On the 20th episode of Music Bank, EXO emerged victorious against Shinhwa, claiming another trophy. However, according to Ji-sung's observation, these veteran idols who debuted in 1998 don't seem too concerned with chart rankings anymore. As stated by Shinhwa's dedicated fan club, "Shinhwa Creation," the group's current return is primarily focused on giving back to their fans, allowing them to witness their performances.

Over the past decade or so of mutual support and feedback, their relationship seems to have transcended the typical idol-fan dynamic. It's almost as if it has evolved into something akin to the bond shared between family members.

Looking at it, it's actually quite enviable and touching.

After the program ended, EXO quickly got into their van and drove back to the company building with Red Velvet and SJ's sub-unit who also participated in the music show. They met up with the company staff who had been waiting there.

Tomorrow, there will be a town family concert in Wanzai, Hsinchu. All the participating idols and their company teams will fly there by chartered plane tonight to prepare.

Back at the company's pool, Jeongwon saw his senior colleagues gathered there. After greeting them one by one, he walked over to the side of the several Unnies from Girls' Generation who were beckoning him over. He glanced around curiously and asked, "Why does it feel like someone is missing Didn't Yoona unnie come"

He counted for a long time, and there were only 7 girls from Girls' Generation around.

"Yoona went to Xia Guo to film a drama, this time town she's not participating." Huang Meiying explained to him with a smile.

"Why are you so concerned about Yoona You came straight to find her" Seated on the sofa, Kim Taeyeon was holding an iced Americano, loosening the crumpled straw she had already bitten and glancing at him with a smirk.

Of course, I'm a fan of senior YoonA.

Ji Jingyuan nodded naturally, then his expression changed, and he sighed with admiration: "Is it The Martial God Zhao Zilong It's truly worthy of being a senior like YoonA. To be able to shoot in mainland China, this popularity is really huge! Even I…"

"Hmph."

His impassioned performance hadn't finished before it was interrupted by Sunny's ruthless sneer from the left. Sunny lay languidly on the sofa, scrolling through her phone, rolling her dead fish eyes at Ji Jingyuan as if looking at an idiot.

She did this, making Ji Jingyuan a little embarrassed and unable to continue his performance. He sighed helplessly and sat on the armrest beside her, taking a bag of snacks Jin Taeyeon had handed him and starting to eat them.

"Haha…" The interaction between these few people caused several of the older sisters standing nearby to chuckle involuntarily. Some of them even felt a little envious at how natural Sunny and Taeyeon's interactions with Ji-won were.

After chatting for a while, everyone was ready and set off. They first took a bus to Incheon Airport and then flew to Taoyuan International Airport on a plane.

After nearly three hours of flight, I arrived in Taoyuan and then took a pre-arranged bus to Hsinchu.

After a long journey by car and boat, they finally arrived at the pre-booked hotel past ten o'clock in the evening. Ji Jingyuan didn't even take off his clothes before collapsing onto the bed. He had just lain there for less than ten minutes when Park Chan-yeol, Bian Berhyen and a few others knocked on their room door.

"Jingyuan, why are you sleeping so early You were in such a rush tonight that you didn't even have a proper meal. Let's go out for some night snacks." Wu Shixun opened the door and several people walked in loudly chattering.

"Okay, where to eat"

When they said that, Chi Jingyuan also felt a little hungry. Since they were in a hurry for dinner, they just grabbed some hamburgers to tide them over.

Moreover, the snacks here at Wanyuan's side are actually quite famous. During several previous events, Ji Jingyuan and the members ate them together several times, leaving him with a good impression.

"I don't know either, just check it on your phone." Park Chan-yeol waved his hand and pulled out his phone to look it up.

"Let me ask about it."

Ji Jingyuan got up from the bed and suddenly remembered that he knew a local person. He took out his phone and sent a message to Zhou Tzuyu.

Do you know any famous restaurants in Hsinchu

Coming back quickly, Zhou Tzuyu was surprised after seeing the message: "You're in Hsinchu!"

"Well, there's a family concert tomorrow, so I'm going to grab some supper now." Ji-seong walked towards the window and took two steps back. He reached out and took a picture of the night view with his phone, then sent it to Tzuyu.

"Wow, it's so beautiful! I haven't been back here in ages (laughing)."

It seemed like Tzuyu had caught sight of the night view of her hometown. She was clearly excited, but her subsequent reply left Ji-yeong speechless.

"But my home is in Tainan, I don't know what places to eat late-night snacks in Hsinchu... I only remember that a city god temple night market street is more famous..."

Chi Jingyuan glanced at the screen, curled his lips, typed a few words and sent them, then put his phone back in his pocket.

What good are you
