Chapter 65: Message Public

the outlet are like two different worlds.From here, you'll walk out onto the stage for the Dream Concert!However, the rehearsal starts from here. If it were a formal performance, they would use a diff...After the winner was announced, fans in the audience immediately began cheering and screaming loudly, while the performers on stage smiled and clapped to congratulate EXO.

Interestingly, Ji-yeong noticed that after EXO was announced as number one, the two members of FX, Na and Seol-li, jumped up directly beside them, waving their hands constantly and smiling so brightly it seemed like they were happier than if they themselves had won first place.

I thought they were also EXO members at first.

I wonder if the two seniors noticed, this time one was taken by EXO. With EXO's current momentum, it means FX might not be able to win any more first places in all the upcoming music shows...

Seeing them laugh so happily, cheering for XO like this, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"Thanks to Teacher Li Xiuman, thanks to President Kim Youngmin, thanks to…"

After receiving the trophy and microphone, Kim Jun-myeon began his acceptance speech. After he finished, the other artists on stage gradually exited. The other EXO members turned around to greet and thank each other.

The members of FX slowly walked to the side, and after greeting Victoria with a smile, Sulli came over.

She looked at Chi Jingyuan and smiled very happily, her mouth stretched wide revealing her pearly white teeth. She bounced lightly while waving her two hands, sincerely congratulating: "Congratulations on being the first to return!"

"Thank you, senior!"

Ji Jingyuan also stretched out two hands and clapped with her.

After their last heart-to-heart conversation, both of them felt much closer. Especially Choi Seol-ri, she seemed to have completely regarded Park Kyung-won as a very close relative.

"Oh... You really are..."

Hearing the other party call him senior again, Choi Se-ri immediately glared at Ji Kyung-won, but soon she laughed herself, wrinkling her nose at him. At this time, she didn't say anything more on stage and walked past him, greeting the other members with a smile.

Ji Chang Wook and Choi Soo-young's na and Aber both laughed and clapped after them, and then Jung Se-jung, who was walking at the end, came to his front.

“…………”

She looked at Chi Jingyuan, who was very close to her, and couldn't help but purse her lips. She lowered her head slightly, looking obviously unnatural.

Today, Zheng Xiujing's outfit for the song performance is a light blue short-sleeved shirt paired with a pure white sailor skirt. Combined with light-colored canvas shoes, Zheng Xiujing in front of us exudes youthful vitality. Her white legs are close together, perfectly aligned, making people unable to help but look down.

Seeing her like this, Chi Jingyuan also knew what was going on. He didn't say anything, looked at the other party's slightly drooping eyes, and smiled cheerfully, extending his right hand and waving it.

"Snap."

Congratulations.

When Jung So-jeong saw Park Ji-won signaling, she seemed more relaxed. She lifted her head and smiled at Park Ji-won, briefly making eye contact before lightly clapping her hand against his. They nodded to each other and then passed each other by.

Ji Jingyuan glanced lightly at Zheng Xiujing's back and found that her steps became more cheerful when she went downstairs.

No more thinking about those things, after performing an encore stage with their own members, they perfectly finished this round of singing performances.

The Music Center was off air the next day because MBC was broadcasting the 2013 Boryeong Music Festival.

Following that, on the 18th's Music Bank, EXO once again faced off against fellow contenders FX and returning contender 2NE1. After the revamped format of Music Bank, EXO achieved a stunning score of 11,000 points, marking the first perfect score. They mercilessly crushed the two senior groups, taking home the trophy without any suspense.

Today na isn't as happy as yesterday, she seems to have realized something.

After this popular song broadcast, EXO has finished their second week of promotions, and it was also the last music show appearance for Ji-sung in August.

Yesterday, ** company had received a notice from the "Heirs" drama team. The crew's preparations were almost complete and they would start working ahead of schedule.

After the cast meets and finishes the script workshop, they will immediately fly to LA to begin filming.

The company has also agreed, after internal discussions, to have Chi Jingyuan absent from all singing activities and a portion of his schedule in August. This will allow him to dedicate more time to the script and prepare thoroughly for the television drama shoot.

His absence doesn't matter, the other EXO members were recalled to the company after finishing their day-long schedule and spent the night practicing with the dance teacher. They began rehearsing the 11-person stage for "Growl", and the C-position parts that originally belonged to Kai were given to several members the company wants to promote.

The beginning of the dance in "Roar" has two sections with choreography for six people, which is manageable. One member can leave the stage and continue dancing the main and chorus parts for two consecutive teams.

But the stage presence of 11 people is asymmetrical, and it cannot achieve EXO's unique 6V6 dance battle, which will make the effect a little less appealing.

However, there's no way around it. The company rejected the suggestion of having a dance teacher wear a mask on stage to make up the numbers.

However, since Ji Jingyuan's filming in LA is only about half a month, if the progress goes quickly, he could be back at the beginning of September. It's estimated that he will still be able to catch up with the last week of music show activities. During this period, the other members can only persevere.

The past two days, after finishing a day's worth of filming, everyone had to rush back to the company to practice diligently, only being able to return to the dormitory to rest very late. This left Ji Kyeong-won, who was memorizing his lines in the dormitory early, feeling rather guilty.

Although he didn't say anything, he took the initiative to treat all the members to several big meals during his free time. And for these few days, he stopped making sarcastic remarks and giving his teammates the death stare, which eased some of his guilt in his heart.

After learning that Park Bo-gum had received the lead role in a TV drama, the members weren't particularly surprised. They were used to this kind of thing.

It's just that after running daily activities, being exhausted and having to practice for an 11-person stage impromptu is really frustrating. There must be some complaints in my heart.

However, Chi Jingyuan had many C-position shots on the stage of "Roar". After he left, several members were able to get a lot of them.

Moreover, with the absence of Chi Jingyuan in some activities and interviews, other members' screen time and exposure would naturally increase. This presents a great opportunity to gain more fans and boost their popularity.

With Qi Jingyuan taking the initiative to treat everyone, the members didn't say much either. They mostly had expressions of congratulations and wished him all the best for his TV drama shoot.

Of course, Chi Jingyuan felt that someone must be uncomfortable, but everyone are smart children and no one would really express it openly.

Since the popularity song broadcast on the 18th, Ji Seong-won has been absent from some of his schedules in the following days. Many fans have noticed this.

Especially with a large number of Yuan fans who were eagerly anticipating the event with XO, arriving at the venue only to discover their idol was absent caused great disappointment. After initial shock, anxieties began to arise, leading them to flood online platforms with questions directed at **. They questioned the reason behind Yuan's absence, speculating if it was due to EXO's busy schedule, perhaps causing Yuan to become ill or some other unforeseen circumstance.

In fact, Chi Jingyuan's acting contract was signed a few days ago. At that time, the company thought about releasing the news.

"At that time, all the headlines were about EXO achieving a million sales and various reports. It was so hot everywhere, people were discussing it non-stop. When we released the performance news, the response would definitely be overshadowed by some extent and wouldn't reach the expected promotion goals."

And these days, the heat from before has died down a bit. Although many people are still discussing it, it's not as ubiquitous as it was during that period.

After fans began asking questions, the company also negotiated and coordinated with SBS, and naturally, they confirmed EXO member Yuan to star in SBS's heavyweight drama, the new work of renowned writer Kim Eun-sook, officially titled "The King of Tears, Lord of the Rings - The Heirs," as the male lead character, Kim Tan.

After the company issued a press release, SBS immediately followed up, confirmed the news, and expressed strong confidence in Ji Chang Wook, as well as publicly released some information about the drama, and other actors' news.

EXO itself has been constantly trending and hasn't left the hot search list for long. As soon as the news was released, it immediately drew massive attention.
