"You played so many times last year, don't be nervous, it's no different from before."
In the waiting room, Li Chenghuan saw that several members were obviously nervous. Sweat had already begun to form on their foreheads as soon as they came in. There were also a few people who were fidgeting back and forth. Looking at him, he felt a little anxious for them.
"Don't worry, Brother Chenghuan, we have been preparing for this stage for a long time. Even if we close our eyes, we won't go wrong."
Jin Junmian comforted him, but in fact his expression was not very good.
Even Chi Jingyuan was not playing games comfortably in the waiting room like before. Instead, he was sitting there in a daze.
The atmosphere was such that even he felt uncomfortable.
There is no way, this comeback after many months is the one that determines the future of EXO. Everyone is too concerned and takes it too seriously, so much so that they are afraid that this comeback will not go well and worry about gains and losses.
Today is May 30th, the day they return to their first stage. At this time, all EXO are backstage at the m!countdown singing show.
After the comeback concept photo was released on the 16th, both fans and passers-by online groups have received a lot of praise. The campus style of EXO's return this time is really eye-catching. Among the currently popular men with heavy makeup and hip-hop metal style,
Under the group, it looks fresh and refined.
In addition to making many fans of the student community naturally fond of this set of photos, the most profound impression is the word "handsome".
This is also the simplest style for exo's comeback pictorial, everything is in service of this theme.
Subsequently, concept photos of individual members were released one after another on the 17th and 19th. Many members' new images have been well received. Especially Chi Jingyuan's looks are very amazing. The short light rainbow specially designed for him by the company's Cody
The head is really bright.
The photos are already very handsome, and the makeup photos have been specially edited, which makes them look even more heart-wrenching. I heard that many fans directly downloaded the photos and used them as screensavers after they were released.
The first promotional photos were unanimously welcomed, and EXO's return with a completely revamped image has attracted considerable attention.
However, after the trailer video of the title song "wolf" was released on May 23, some other sounds emerged.
The costumes in the MV of the title song are not the campus style of the concept photo. In order to match the setting of the song, the costumes have a dark and wild style. Although they are not ugly and they are quite handsome, they just don’t look like the previous school graduation photos.
Eye-catching, it is a bit different from many people’s expectations.
In addition, the style of the trailer video has SM's usual chubby style. In it, the members of EXO are baring their teeth and roaring like wolves, which looks very weird.
When Chi Jingyuan was filming, he felt that the trailer video was very strange. After it was released, he watched it once and immediately deleted it before watching it.
It's too shameful.
Although there are good and bad reviews, in general, even if the gap period is long, the attention this time is still very high, and the first step of comeback can be considered a success.
"It's still the same process as before. Later, Junmyeon will take him to visit the seniors and give us our albums. This MC has Shinhwa. Lee Hyori and several seniors are participating, so be sure to say hello."
"Then it's time to wait for our rehearsal. The staff will come and shout."
"We have just come back. The first week's MC will not be counted in the results, so you don't have to worry about the first place. Our sound source has not been officially released yet. If you are nervous, we will wait until the next week when we officially release songs."
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Li Chenghuan took the initiative to calm down the anxious mood of the members. After explaining a few words, he clapped his hands, stretched out his right hand, and shouted loudly:
"Okay, cheer up, exo, fighting!"
"Fighing!"
The members also shouted to encourage themselves, and together with the assistants and makeup artist sisters nearby, they formed a circle, stretched out their right hands, folded them together in the middle, and patted them hard.
This kind of encouragement is quite effective. Even if the tension is still there, at least the atmosphere in the waiting room will be better afterwards, allowing people to wait quietly.
After sitting for a while, the members went out for a walk and visited the seniors who were participating in the recording this time.
Recently, Shinhwa and Lee Hyori returned at the same time, which has caused a lot of discussion. They both participated in the recording of this episode, so EXO naturally wanted to go up and say hello.
In addition, there are 4minute, hello and venus, a few groups that they know more or less. They have appeared in some variety shows together before, such as the chance meeting three months ago. At that time, Chi Jingyuan had a simple chat with them.
Chatted for a few words.
These exo groups were very enthusiastic when they came over. They stood up and gave each other albums and cheered each other up.
When he walked into their waiting room, Chi Jingyuan was standing at the last one, but he felt several eyes scanning him.
His look this time is really eye-catching. At close range, the eyes of several female idols are a bit bright.
After a round of visits, I returned to the waiting room. After resting for a while, the staff informed me to go to the rehearsal.
This rehearsal truly reflected the anxious psychology of EXO members. A rehearsal was made just like a formal stage. All moves were done with all their strength and performed to a standard. After a few minutes of dancing, almost everyone was out after they got off the stage.
Sweating and panting.
However, there were no mistakes and the stage effect was very good, which was a reassurance.
Next, they sat in the waiting room. After the recording officially started, they kept watching the stage situation through the indoor TV until the staff came to inform them: "EXO is ready to go on stage!"
"Inside."
In response, the members who had been prepared all stood up, looked at each other, breathed a long sigh of relief, lined up and walked out, came to the stage entrance, and waited.
At this time, the performance above is 4minute, performing "what's your name?", which is the title song of their fourth mini-album released in April. The results are very good, and they have won 7 places in major singing programs.
.
"fighting!"
Soon after their performance ended, they walked down the stage. When they saw EXO waiting, they smiled, stretched out their fists to cheer them up, and then walked past.
At this time, two special MCs, Shinhwa's Lee Min Woo and Junjin, also introduced to the camera: "It's a good feeling to be active with our first-generation relatives, but when I see the capable juniors, I also feel very happy."
I’m very proud and in a good mood.”
"Yes, this is the team we are going to see this time, right?"
"Exo, which won many new artist awards last year and made a grand debut, is back with a regular album. Exo-k and exo-m will be active as a complete group of 12 members. It's so exciting."
"Nah, I watched it during the rehearsal. The performance is really an art, it's so cool."
