Chapter 45: Let's Go for a Drink
g her head. She looked quite well. 。"Annyeonghaseyo, we are EXO" 。Just as he sat down, his butt bounced up again, and several people hurriedly stood up and bowed to IU. 。Even though they had actually..., the Korean Peninsula
"It's really amazing, the oppas are so handsome, ah... I really..."
"If it's XO's food, I'll regret it for the rest of my life if I don't go."
Even if it wasn't a meal, I think this performance was great. After watching it, I've already been fanned by yuan. I'll buy the special edition tomorrow!
The stage effects and lighting were very good, although there were some areas that weren't perfect, I was still very satisfied.
The atmosphere on site was excellent, with a familiar hit song performed on stage every few minutes. The entire atmosphere was very lively and exciting. It was definitely worth the trip, EXO did great!
After the concert ended, all the audience members who watched this show spontaneously expressed their feelings on online forums and in their respective fan clubs, excitedly sharing their thoughts with a hint of pride.
Many people have been singing its praises from the rooftops, praising everything about it - the stage quality, the effect design, the lighting, and even the song choices.
Especially the interactive segments, the performance of the XO members was lauded to the heavens.
Before, during, and after the entire performance, members interacted with fans offstage. Many fans even clapped with the XO members. This feeling of intimate contact with your idol will be deeply imprinted in the heart of every fan.
Being able to bring such a good experience and rich sharing **to the audience, shows that Exo's first concert was truly a success.
Besides the overall performance, Chi Jingyuan's self-composed song "you" also sparked widespread discussion and numerous praises.
"Ahhh, Yuan's self-composed song is so good! What's it called I searched for ages when I got back and couldn't find it!"
"I haven't found it either....The lyrics really touched my heart, they are so sweet. When I listen to it, it feels like he is standing in front of me, smiling and telling me his secrets. I'm still savoring it now..."
The song was catchy enough, but the scene at the time was truly beautiful. I can't forget that image. Will this concert be released on DVD or CD sometime soon
"It's called 'You', and it was taken from the EXO first tour program list on s official website. According to the lyrics of the chorus, it should be correct. Currently, there is no other information available online, nor is there a public audio source."
"Why isn't the audio source for such a good song released publicly I really want to loop it! I keep singing it uncontrollably ~ baby you you you yeah ~~"
"Looking for a public audio source 1 ~ baby you you you yeah~”
The discussion surrounding this song is incredibly hot, even just under the overall concert topic. Fans who attended the concert are buzzing with excitement, reminiscing and praising it, which leaves those who missed out feeling incredibly envious.
Seeing those fans who were happy after watching the performance, others' hearts directly started cursing.
"Damn it, don't we want to go We can't even get tickets to Xi'an!"
"I really want to see XO's concert..."
With a surge of anger in my heart, I still had to confront the culprits:
"Die!"
…………
Because the first concert was a huge success, receiving rave reviews and generating fervent discussion, occupying all of xo fans' free time over the past two days, leading to even greater anticipation for the next two performances.
Next, on the 23rd, and then the following days, the 24th and 25th, EXO held two more concerts, which were all very successful, with no incidents or accidents.
Apart from the birthday celebration for Jin Myen on the first day and the final stage of the 25th concert, the members expressed many heartfelt sentiments and gratitude because this was their last performance in their hometown. Aside from that extended time, the three-day concert's flow and song list were basically identical.
It is worth mentioning that the performance on the 25th was the last one in Peninsula, so many fans were reluctant to leave after it ended. They cheered and shouted in the venue for a long time, and finally, it took staff members to persuade them to slowly leave reluctantly.
After the concert on the 25th, s also hosted a press conference for EXO, with SJ's Shindong chosen as the MC.
In a series of interviews and Q&A sessions, the EXO members shared their thoughts on the performance and expressed sincere gratitude for the fans' support. This press conference also marks the official end of EXO's nationwide tour across the peninsula.
After the end of the concert, the company held a rather low-key celebration for EXO. Aside from the entire concert crew, several high-level executives from ** also arrived at the scene, making it quite lively.
The next concert will be held on June 1st at the AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong, China. Tickets sold out online half a month ago.
Although tickets for the Hong Kong Station weren't as instantly sold out as those for Peninsula, they were still snapped up within a very short time - 16,000 tickets gone in an instant. Just a little later and there was no sign of any tickets left at all.
Within just two days, due to overwhelming demand, tickets were sold out. Fans expressed their strong dissatisfaction. After deliberation, s company decided to hold an additional performance on June 2nd at the same location to satisfy the fervent passion of xo Hong Kong fans.
These two impromptu additional shows not only prove EXO's sky-high popularity but also indicate that ** Entertainment might have some shortcomings in their overall planning for this world tour, including fanbase estimations and venue rentals.
To put it simply, they didn't expect the tickets to sell this well. A venue with a capacity of tens of thousands was completely insufficient, they underestimated EXO's popularity, as well as the fanaticism and purchasing power of their fans.
Actually, the concert planning department and team of are already very experienced. After all, besides numerous family concerts, every year s artists will hold many tours, like SJ and Girls' Generation.
But I hadn't expected that this time, past experiences seemed a bit too conservative.
Beyond breaking sales records, this explosive combination that drives market growth is truly beyond comprehension.
But after all, since it was EXO's first tour, they also learned from the experience.
On the other hand, starting from May 22nd, although EXO did not attend this week's music shows due to their concert, all spots were filled without any unexpected vacancies.
Including "Show Champion" and "Music Bank," as well as the music shows of the three major TV stations, EXO obtained 5 number one trophies within a week.
To take on the responsibility of a whole week in someone's absence without even being present is truly impressive.
However, it's also because there aren't any strong competitors. An APK that has been out for over a month doesn't pose much of a threat. But if things stay this way next week, it might become dangerous.
Besides the constant absence definitely causing dissatisfaction within the production team, this week saw f(x) and the boy group VIXX make their official comebacks. Both received pretty good responses. Next week, BIGBANG's Taeyang will also be releasing a song, intensifying the competition all at once.
It's a pity that EXO still has concert schedules next week, and it's unknown whether they can get several first-place wins again.

"Well, I suddenly feel a lot lighter."
Chi Jingyuan sat in the back seat of the nanny car, stretching leisurely and comfortably leaning against the backrest. His gaze looked out the window at the street scene outside.
After the multi-day concert came to a temporary end, EXO felt a little more relaxed. Park Chanyeol took this opportunity to catch up on some personal schedules he had been accumulating, including magazine cover shoots and several ad filming assignments.
He had just finished his last advertising case of the day and was on his way back to the company with his assistant and Park Bo-gum.
"Jiyuan, your EXO concert these two days has already become a hot topic of discussion online, and there are also discussions in the fanclub..."
Park Jae-hyun chuckled, looking at Ji Seong-won's reflection in the rearview mirror. "Especially your original song for the performance, so many people liked it, they were all shouting to make the audio source public."
"The company doesn't have this plan for now. It's a pretty good gimmick that can attract viewers, so it probably won't be released publicly at least during the first round. It might be included in future albums."

Chi Jingyuan half-closed his eyes and replied casually, "Besides, this song is only over two minutes long. It's a complete fan feedback song."
“…………”
"Pu Zai Xian nodded, remembering something and reminded him, "By the way, the company has almost finished discussing the endorsement with LG. I estimate that the contract will be signed soon. There will be many advertising and publicity schedules then, Jing Yuan, you need to prepare in advance."
"Understood, bro. Just make sure your concert time doesn't clash with ours…"
Qi Jingyuan leaned there and nodded lightly, indicating that it was okay.
After a while, his phone suddenly rang. Ji Jingyuan half-squinted his eyes and reached out to fumble for his phone beside him. After getting it, he answered directly and put it to his ear. A familiar voice immediately came over:
"Jingyuan, come out for a drink!"
