Back in the waiting room, after the door was closed, Park Chanyeol changed his bright smile from the stage, slapped the table hard with a dark face, and said something very unhappy.
The faces of the members were also ugly. A few of them sat there covering their faces as soon as they came in, looking like they were depressed. The atmosphere in the entire waiting room was very bad.
The same goes for Chi Jingyuan. He was sitting in the corner, rubbing his forehead with his hands, and his face was a little ugly.
They had just finished recording at Music Center and came off the stage.
In this competition for first place on Music Bank, they lost to Shinhwa, who had been back for almost a month, by less than 100 points.
Today is June 8th, their second week of singing competition, and it is also the closest one to the number one. It is also the first time since EXO debuted that they stood in the front row when the awards were given at the end of the singing competition stage.
This feeling of being watched by everyone and being stared at by the camera is really good, but it's a pity that the result is not satisfactory.
The day before yesterday, m!c stopped broadcasting and there was no song available. Yesterday's Music Center, they did not enter a candidate. Today, they originally faced Shinhwa, who had been playing for almost a month. EXO was quite confident at first, but they didn't expect to fall short in the end.
"We are only in the second week, there are still many opportunities, don't be discouraged."
Jin Junmian pursed his lips and encouraged everyone.
In fact, he was the most disappointed among everyone. He almost lost control of his expression on the stage just now.
"Brother Junmian, our music score has dropped a bit quickly. The best chance to win the first place is in these two weeks, otherwise..."
Do Kyung-soo said something in a low voice, but stopped mid-sentence.
In fact, everyone knew this very well, and in such an atmosphere, he did not continue to talk about it.
"Don't be discouraged, everyone. There are still popular songs tomorrow. If it doesn't work out, there is still hope for you if you continue to work hard next week."
"And our sales are very good, and we have an advantage when it comes to scoring."
The eldest brother Jin Minxi looked at everyone and offered words of comfort.
"Gui, I hope..."
…………
"The person honored by Inkigayo today is... cl, rough kahamida!"
Seeing MC cheering loudly while holding the trophy, EXO members stood behind and clapped their hands with smiles on their faces.
Even if I feel very unhappy, I still have to do the facial expressions.
After a few polite applause, the members walked off the stage and entered the day after tomorrow. The smiles on their faces gradually faded and they walked into the waiting room with a somewhat stiff pace.
The song competition in the second week of their return has officially ended, and they still have not won the first song competition place.
The results of this comeback are already pretty good, both in terms of sales and sound source, they are very outstanding among boy groups.
Being a singer, especially being one of the three major TV stations' singing programs is still very valuable now, and it is a symbol of an artist's popularity.
Any solo or group that has never won a No. 1 award cannot be called a first-line or popular artist.
As for EXO, they only need one singer and one singer to prove themselves, but they always lack that little bit.
It's just that as the ranking of "Wolf" continues to decline on the music list, the difficulty will become much higher.
…………
On June 13th, in m!c's waiting room, the members were sitting in their seats, playing with their mobile phones, in a daze, but few people made any noise, and none of them seemed interested in chatting.
The sound source of "Wolf" has rebounded somewhat in the past few days and has not dropped all the way. As of today, it ranks 37th on Melon, which is pretty good among boy bands.
Entering the third week of playing songs, they once again missed out on a winner in yesterday's "Show Champion".
The members had been looking forward to it since last week, but so far they have not been able to get the first place, and the recent comeback schedule has been very busy, and they have to go to the company to practice at night, so everyone is not in a good mood.
"Dong dong..."
There was a knock on the door.
“Please come in.”
The sound attracted the attention of everyone in the room, and captain Jin Junmyeon responded immediately.
After the door opened, seven male idols wearing hip-hop style singing outfits walked in, stood in a row at the door, saluted the exo in the room, and said hello loudly: "Senior Aniha Saiyo.
, our boy band BTS debuted today.”
"Nai, Anihasa, we are exo."
Seeing someone coming to say hello, the members of EXO also stood up to say hello. After Chi Jingyuan returned the greeting, he glanced at the new boy group and suddenly his eyes narrowed.
The same thing happened to Wu Shixun and others next to him. They glanced at one of the BTS members, then couldn't help but look at each other with weird expressions, and then looked at Chi Jingyuan.
They spotted a familiar face among the other party's members.
The scene was quite embarrassing for a while.
"The seniors' performances are really cool. This is our debut album. Please accept it."
The leader of bts is a boy with quite small eyes and a quite cheerful appearance.
According to his self-introduction, his stage name is ‘rap monster.”
This stage name is really arrogant.
"Nai, we will listen carefully. This is our EXO comeback album, please accept it."
Jin Junmyeon exchanged albums with the other party, introduced each other, exchanged a few pleasantries and then left.
As soon as the door closed, the members who had not been interested in talking immediately became more chatty:
"Hey Yigu, I didn't expect to see him again. He actually joined another company to debut. This can be considered our competitor."
"Jinjia, I almost forgot about him, I didn't expect that he could still make his debut."
"After all, he is a trainee from our SM, and he has good looks. It is relatively easy to debut in a small company."
"Jingyuan, how does it feel to see an old friend?"
"It feels good. I wish them a successful debut and all the best." Chi Jingyuan tilted his head and smiled happily, and gave a blessing in a sincere tone.
…………
"In the second week of June, m! countdown, Lee Hyori vs. EXO, who will be the owner of the first place trophy?"
"Please disclose the results!"
At this time, on the m! countdown stage, Li Jun and Tian Dong, who served as MCs, held the microphone and hosted with a smile.
To their right, the 12 exo people who were candidates today stood in two rows.
They tried hard to control their expressions and keep smiling, but the anticipation and anxiety in the eyes of a few people could not be concealed.
Chi Jingyuan stood in the second row, his lips pursed slightly, and he looked nervously at the monitor on the side of the stage.
This is their second stage in the third week of singing competition. From this week on, the chance of winning the first place on each stage will become smaller and smaller.
In addition to the reason for the music source, it also has a lot to do with the competition with several popular groups that will return next week.
Under everyone's nervous gaze, the score began to be calculated on the display screen:
