"On the 19th, EXO once again won the Grand Prize at the 26th Seoul Music Awards, winning the Song Grand Prize for four consecutive years since 2013!"
"The 16th awards ceremony came to a perfect conclusion. The super popular boy group EXO swept all the awards at the five music award ceremonies in 2016 including AAA, MMA, MAMA, Golden Disc, and Seoul Music Awards. They achieved All Kill! and showed their unparalleled popularity."
On the morning of January 20, in the VIP waiting room of Incheon Airport, Yoo Jimin was sitting in his seat waiting for the plane. At first, he sat cautiously and did not dare to do anything. He just carefully observed the people next to him.
After sitting for a while, she felt a little bored, and saw that the head of the trainee room who followed her didn't care about her thoughts at all, so she took out her phone and refreshed the news.
"The age of girl groups is here again! In January and February this year, many girl groups such as TWICE, I.O.I, AOA, LOVELYZ and others announced their first solo concerts."
"The national girl group I.O.I officially announced that it will end its limited group activities with the concert held from the 20th to the 22nd, and will officially disband after the concert."
"I.O.I formed a group in April last year and has been active for ten months. During the activity, the advertisements endorsed by the members cover mobile communications, finance, games, cosmetics, school uniforms, online shopping malls, ramen, drinks, snacks and other fields.
Products and team advertising contracts exceed ten. I.O.I Music Distribution Company also revealed that "the sound source has benefited more than one billion won." According to insider statistics, I.O.I's total revenue during the ten-month campaign period has reached tens of billions of won. It can be called a mobile small and medium-sized enterprise.
.”
I.O.I, the limited-edition girl group that has been popular for almost a year, is finally disbanding. Seeing this news, Ryu Jimin couldn't help but feel a little sad.
She also watched "PRODUCE 101", which was popular all over the country last year, and had contestants she supported. Although they had not debuted, after seeing the final group composition, she was looking forward to it and even had some daydreams, thinking if there would be another one next year
For the same show, would she have the chance to sign up for it?
Unexpectedly, I joined SM as a trainee a few months later, and my relationship with the draft was completely lost. Big companies like SM have their own self-esteem. Unless the trainees lose their chance to debut and leave the company, it is impossible.
The trainees are allowed to participate in this kind of audition... except JYP.
However, when the media revealed that I.O.I’s activity revenue exceeded 10 billion won in less than a year, Yoo Jimin was very surprised. 10 billion is really a very high number. It only took ten months to achieve this amount.
With high revenue, I.O.I is worthy of being a national girl group.
But when she looked down and saw the next piece of news, this thought in her mind immediately disappeared.
"Sky-high price! The media broke the news that Ji Kyung-won signed a contract with the famous ice cream brand Haagen-Dazs to become a new spokesperson. It is reported that the signing fee broke Kim Soo-hyun's record, reaching 26 billion won."
ah?
Seeing the figures exposed in this news, Liu Zhimin couldn't help but be stunned, and he was extremely surprised while clicking his tongue.
I.O.I is already considered a national girl group, and its popularity is already very high. The income during the ten-month activity period is about 10 billion. Chi Jingyuan's one advertising endorsement can actually earn 26 billion directly?
Even if the idols of boy groups are born to make more money than the idols of girl groups, there won't be such a big gap... In shock, she quietly raised her head and looked at Chi Jingyuan a few meters away.
Zhang Suyan's face made people unable to take their eyes off her, and her heart suddenly stopped.
Well……
If it were him... it should be considered normal.
Secretly observing Chi Jingyuan over there, Liu Zhimin couldn't help but recall the experiences of the past few days.
After attending the audition that day, there was no clear conclusion. Chi Jingyuan didn't say anything, nor did director Li Meizhu. They just asked her to come back and wait for news.
However, this matter is still something that all the female trainees are paying attention to. As soon as they returned from the audition, others were asking about it. Some familiar ones and some unfamiliar ones, including a few close friends and relatives were also asking about the results. It was such a concern.
Under the circumstances, even the girl's vanity made her feel even more uneasy.
And... after seeing the long-awaited Ji Kyung-won up close, the impressive temperament and appearance instantly broke the bad impression Kim Jong-in had left on her about EXO members, and even directly reversed her impression of EXO members.
The senses of the male idol also made her feel uncontrollably excited for some reason, and she even wanted to get the opportunity to cooperate with this senior.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Li Meizhu told her that the audition was successful.
Although female Ryu Jimin has always been quite confident about herself, she still felt an uncontrollable excitement after hearing that she had succeeded in the audition.
After the news spread, she instantly became a star among the trainees. Not only the girls, but also some male trainees and even a few NCT seniors who had debuted came over to see her. She had good connections with her.
The envious glow in the eyes of her friends who were not on good terms really satisfied her inner vanity.
The 16-year-old girl who was originally a highly sought-after little beauty in school, but after entering the company and being surrounded by beautiful women, she felt a little lost in everyone. These two days, she experienced the feeling of being the center of attention again. To be honest, she has been in the spotlight these days.
I was in a state of extreme excitement. I couldn't even fall asleep last night. I was so excited all night long that I don't feel sleepy at all until now.
Thinking of this, she stopped looking at her phone to read the news, and instead began to quietly observe the people around her.
The first is Chi Jingyuan, the core of this time... He is sitting in the middle position, wearing a sweater, jacket, jeans and baseball cap very casually, not much different from the last audition.

”, even though he was wearing simple clothes and no makeup, he looked like an ordinary college student, but no matter what, as long as he sat there, he was the absolute focus.
At this time, there were several people surrounding Chi Jingyuan. A group of people were discussing something seriously, including the director of this MV.
Some of the early staff have already passed by. This time they flew to LA with thirty or forty people, including Chi Jingyuan and his agent assistant, as well as two groups of people responsible for the main photography. One was responsible for filming the MV.
group, and the other is the shooting group responsible for filming personal variety shows, there are quite a lot of people.
Then there was herself, and a room manager who was specially following her to take care of the management trainees. Originally, because Yoo Jimin was not yet an adult and it was also her first time to go overseas for filming, her mother was worried and had to ask for leave to accompany her.
However, she still gave up after the company's promise, but before leaving yesterday, she still managed to drag her to explain things that took a long time.
And finally...it's the heroine of another MV...
Liu Zhimin looked to the left, and the girl with a short face was also sitting quietly and reservedly, and like her, she was quietly looking at the people around her with her small eyes.
After she looked over for a second, the girl seemed to notice something and looked over to her. The two female trainees looked at each other, smiled politely, and then moved away in tacit understanding.
sight.
Although the two of them are not filming the same MV, as the only two female trainees here, they unconsciously have a little sense of competition... As a member of SM, Ryu Jimin still has a sense of superiority.
.
Just when she was about to continue sneaking a look at Chi Jingyuan to feast her eyes, Chi Jingyuan stopped communicating with the people next to her, looked at the time, and stood up from the chair:
