The 2013 KBS Music Festival was held on the evening of December 27. EXO performed in the first half of the festival, at the 15th minute.
They were the second group to perform at the entire party, behind Crayon Group's "barbarbar". The organizers probably wanted to use the stage with two consecutive explosive songs to directly raise the atmosphere to the highest point.
In addition to the impossible-to-miss "Roar" this time, EXO also performed a new choreography of the specially arranged version of "dubstep intro",
The opening accompaniment and group dances of this version are really impressive. EXO, who have been widely welcomed since their debut, directly ignited the enthusiasm of the audience just as the TV station wanted.
However, KBS’s year-end celebrations generally don’t have too many fancy features. They are just ordinary idol performances. Compared with SBS, which is very fancy, the stage is smaller and the audience is smaller. Generally speaking, in terms of viewing quality and
There is still a lot of difference in terms of topicality.
The party ended with 8-member Girls' Generation's "I got a boy" stage without Lim Yoona.
After watching the whole show, except for the fact that one of the hosts, Bae Suzy, wore a ponytail and looked pretty in a few long dresses, Chi Jingyuan did not leave a deep impression on Chi Jingyuan.
Originally, EXO did not have a stage or a celebration to attend on the 28th. Due to some conflicts in schedules, EXO was unable to arrive at the MBC Gayo Daejeon, which was originally scheduled for December 31.
Because on the 31st, Ji Kyung-won will participate in the SBS Drama Awards with the crew as the male lead of "The Heirs", and the EXO-M team will also go to Xiaguo to participate in the New Year's Eve broadcast live on Oriental TV
Party.
And EXO is the most popular idol group at the moment. If they don't come, the exaggerated words will really make the party look a lot worse. Of course, MBC is not willing to do this, so they allow them to record the stage in advance and wait until the party is broadcast live.
Play the video and treat them as if they are also participating.
After the company communicated with MBC, XO went to MBC to record the stage in advance on the 28th. For the stage effect, MBC also opened a fan channel. Within a few minutes, all seats were full. Fans were so crowded just to watch their idol record a stage.
Broken head.
The entire venue was filled with EXO fans, excitedly watching them record.
In order to give back to the fans' enthusiasm, after discussion, the stage process was temporarily changed. The originally unchanged "Roar" stage, during the last chorus, all members will come off the stage and run from the aisles on both sides to the audience seats.
The last part was danced on a small stage in the middle.
It is said to be a small stage, but it is actually a small empty terrace in the middle of the auditorium. The area is so small that the twelve members can't stretch out enough to dance.
And they are very close to the auditorium, so fans can basically reach out and touch them.
This kind of experience of being in close contact with their idols really made many fans couldn't help but scream, saying that this was the right time.
After the recording ended, the members and fans bowed in greeting, and finally ended with their reluctant eyes.
Time flies and it’s the 29th.
"How is it? Is the lift stable?"
Looking at the four dancing lines coming down from the lift, Chi Jingyuan asked them.
At this time, they are in the first exhibition hall of Ilsan Kintex, rehearsing for tonight's SBS Gayo Daejeon.
It's quite a coincidence that the venue of SBS Gayo Battle this time is the same place as their SM Family concert a few days ago. Returning here after a few days, EXO is revisiting its old place.
The venue where the SBS party is held is much larger than that of KBS and MBC, and the surrounding facilities and stage venues are also much better. It is obvious that the resources and money invested are much more than those of the other two TV stations. It is no wonder that they spend more time at the end of the year every year.
The ratings will be much higher.
There are a total of 5 stages set up in the entire venue. In addition to the largest main stage, there are four small stages on the left, right, middle and back.
The stage on the right is set up as an artist seat, and the one in the middle is a special circular stage with an elevator that can rotate on its own. Only one group will perform on this stage tonight.
It's EXO.
There is only one group stage in EXO tonight, and they will perform "Roar" at the beginning of the second half.
Today's performance also added a special dance. At the end of the second chorus, it entered a variation. The other members squatted down and lowered their heads, while Kim Jong-in, Oh Sehun, and y, the four members of the dance line, stood on the elevator and followed the elevator.
They rose into the air and danced together.
During the rehearsal, Chi Jingyuan watched them slowly go up and felt that the entire elevator was shaking as they danced. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After this dance, he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Shaking, why don't you shake? I feel a little unsteady on my feet. I feel like the elevator may collapse at any time. I don't dare to use force at all."
"I'm a little afraid of heights like Jing Yuan, so I made this thing this time. I don't know who came up with it."
When Wu Shixun and Luhan heard this, they immediately complained with a grimace. It seemed that they had a lot of opinions about this elevator.
"Oh, what a pity. I'm not the main dancer. It's a pity that you don't have the blessing of enjoying this elevator..."
Chi Jingyuan not only did not comfort him, but instead sneered, and the regretful expression on his face made the two of them not tense up, but directly attacked him from both sides and hugged him up.
There are many idols participating in the SBS Gayo Daejeon today. For example, almost all the artists who participated in the recording of "You Are a Miracle" are here.
When Chi Jingyuan was speechless, when EXO came out from the backstage to prepare for the rehearsal, they happened to meet the three groups fx, Apink and girlsday.
fx just came back from rehearsals, and the latter two have a collaboration stage and are going to rehearse together.
The four groups took photos backstage. Chi Jingyuan took a quick look and saw that all three girl groups included female idols with whom he had a complicated relationship.
What a coincidence.
Fortunately, only Chi Jingyuan knew these things in his heart, and they didn't know each other, otherwise the scene would have been even more exciting.
At this time, the venue was also very lively, with idols rehearsing on each stage, and several MCs not far away were also talking to the script boards, familiar with tonight's hosting process.
After practicing twice more, I am almost used to this special elevator rotating stage.
Just when they were standing there to take a breath after dancing once, Kim Heechul, one of the MCs, came over and greeted EXO warmly.
"Hey Yigu, wuliXO is so handsome..."
Kim Heechul walked over and praised them with an exaggerated expression. Then he glanced back secretly, turned his head and said to them in a low voice: "I have seen it. There are several female idols over there who have been paying attention to you. Do you need me?"
Can I help you with my contact information?"
"Heechul hyung, this kind of thing must be fun if you do it yourself."
Park Chanyeol put forward his opinions seriously.
"Hahaha..." Several people laughed together.
As a popular member of SJ, Kim Heechul was discharged from the army on August 30 this year after two years of military service and returned to the entertainment industry.
It just so happened that SJ was at the end of his peak, which brought him a lot of popularity and support, and the company also favored Kim Heechul. After he retired from the army, the supply of resources continued, allowing him to return to popularity in a short period of time.
The ranks of artists.
It can be said that two years of blank space did not have much impact on Kim Heechul.
Kim Heechul's personal qualities as an artist are very good, including appearance, singing skills and other aspects. He also has his own way of dealing with people. I heard that he is very good at socializing and has fun with female artists especially.
Looking at Kim Heechul who looked familiar from the moment he came in and easily set up the atmosphere, Chi Kyungyuan couldn't help but nodded. Male idols who can mix so well do have a skill, even if they are not the same as him.
Although I am familiar with him, I can't help but feel some closeness.
Ji Kyung Won heard that Lee Soo Man seemed to particularly like Kim Heechul for some unknown reason, so his status in SM was quite special. Although not as good as Ji Kyung Won, it was much better than ordinary SM artists.
"Jingyuan..." After chatting with the members for a while, Jin Heechul looked at Chi Jingyuan again, smiled happily and shook his hand.
"Senior." Chi Jingyuan bowed lightly.
"Ani, don't be so polite, just call me brother."
Kim Heechul waved his hand, then stared at Chi Jingyuan for a while, shook his head and sighed: "Oh, I always heard Taeyeon and Hyoyeon mention it before, and finally I can see it with my own eyes."
"Sure enough, what I said to them is right. After seeing the reality, it is really like this..." He said while giving a thumbs up.
Under Jin Heechul's initiative to socialize, Chi Jingyuan also smiled and chatted with him.
Kim Heechul has a very good relationship with several sisters from Girls' Generation, especially Kim Taeyeon, and Kim Taeyeon also has a very good relationship with Ji Kyungwon. Through this relationship, the two of them got to know each other easily.
"Jingyuan, remember to give me your contact information later, and I will introduce you to the girl then..."
"I'm leaving.
After chatting for a while, he said goodbye and left. After EXO danced again, the rehearsal came to an end, and they walked off the stage panting and returned to the backstage.
For this relatively large-scale party, rehearsals are very serious. Each time is basically treated as a formal performance. The very intense boy group dance "Roar" was performed several times in a row. Even EXO was very tired. Every time
Everyone was sweating profusely and panting as they walked from the aisle into the backstage.
And at this time, they were not the only ones who finished their rehearsals together. Several other groups also finished their rehearsals and followed them sporadically.
As soon as he arrived backstage and hadn't taken two steps, Chi Jingyuan, who was walking behind the members, saw two acquaintances walking not far away, FX's Cui Shirley and Luna, each carrying a bag filled with coffee and the like.
Kang looked like he had just come back from shopping.
"Jingyuan!" The two of them also saw EXO and immediately greeted them with a smile. After Cui Xueli and the other members waved, they trotted directly to Chi Jingyuan.
"Here... just finished the rehearsal?"
Cui Xueli rummaged through the bag, found a cup of iced coffee and handed it to Chi Jingyuan, looking at the sweat on his forehead and saying.
On the other side, Luna was not as indifferent as Shirley. She smiled and said hello to the other members, and then handed the drinks to them one by one.
"Nai, it's finished now. We may have to rehearse it again later."
Chi Jingyuan nodded, unscrewed the lid and took a sip. The cold liquid flowed down his throat and into his heart and lungs, letting him breathe a sigh of relief as he was tired and hot just after dancing.
He put down the bottle and asked, "Why are you buying drinks by yourself, where is the assistant?"
There are many product sales points in the venue, and basically many snacks and drinks can be purchased.
"One of the assistants, Ernie, went out with the agent, and the other two went to buy takeout, so we went by ourselves."
Cui Xueli said casually, and then laughed secretly: "It's interesting to do this kind of thing by yourself. Many idols do it by themselves. Do you know why?"
"Um?"
Chi Jingyuan took another sip and asked in a nasal voice.
"Because you can meet people of the opposite sex. When I was waiting in line, I saw several male and female idols exchanging glances... and it's also a good opportunity for couples who have already confirmed their relationship to meet. Let me tell you, I just..."
Cui Xueli looked like she knew the secret and came over mysteriously to talk about things like idol couples exchanging contact information, meeting, and dating.
"So familiar? It seems you have experienced it too?"
"Of course, I have a lot of people chasing me." She raised her head and said,
"Let's go back first and talk as we go."
Luna was talking to Jin Junmyun and others at the front of the team, while Chi Jingyuan followed behind and chatted with Cui Xueli. The members in the middle drank water silently and walked towards the lounge together, looking very harmonious.
"Is the movie finished? How was the filming?"
Chi Jingyuan was walking with coffee in his left hand, taking a sip from time to time while asking casually.
"Oh, I'm so exhausted. The scenes are the heaviest in August and September. You have to wear such thick costumes and shoot from morning to night in the hot weather. And even if you are really tired, you can't show it. Don't mention it..."
Cui Shirley's face wrinkled up when she mentioned this, and she looked a little scared, but after being scared, she just thought about it, and continued with a little longing: "I don't have too many roles... but it does feel a bit awkward when filming a movie.
Same."
"What's different?"
"It's just...how should I put it, it just feels like your identity and status have suddenly improved a lot. Can you understand this feeling?"
Chi Jingyuan understood clearly after hearing this. In addition to behind-the-scenes personnel such as directors and writers, in the Peninsula entertainment industry, among the artists under the flashlight, the highest status is the film actor, which is much higher than the idols in the music industry.
few.
Therefore, after becoming popular, most idols want to transition into the film and television industry. Being able to shoot TV series is considered a success, and being able to shoot movies is even more considered an upgrade.
Of course, it won’t matter if the work is sold out, it will also affect the original career.
"I understand. It's a normal feeling. There's nothing wrong with it." Chi Jingyuan nodded to show that he understood.
"What about you, Jingyuan? "The Heirs" is so popular, you should be one of the best among young actors now. Do you feel that way?"
"Yes, but I'm quite open-minded. To me, acting is a way to increase my visibility and popularity. As for improving my status or style, I don't really care. I personally prefer the stage."
Although Chi Jingyuan is aware of the hidden rules of status in the Peninsula entertainment industry, in fact Chi Jingyuan doesn't really care about the status of this so-called artist.
Because even a relatively high-status movie actor is just that in the eyes of some people.
However, Chi Jingyuan doesn't care because his background and family make him very confident, but most people in the entertainment industry still value this.
"Sigh... I feel like my mentality has been a little uneasy recently. I can't even take myself seriously when practicing and preparing for the stage."
"I feel like this is a bit bad. Is there anything I can do?"
Cui Shirley whispered to Chi Jingyuan about her recent worries. After filming the movie, she didn't know why, but her enthusiasm for idols dropped a bit.
These are already very private thoughts. Obviously Cui Xueli does not regard Chi Jingyuan as an outsider.
"This kind of mentality is actually quite normal. If idol-turned-actors achieve good results, they will have this problem to some extent. The main thing is to rely on yourself to adjust."
Chi Jingyuan nodded, thought for a while and then spoke. As soon as his serious voice fell, he added: "But if you want to ask about the specific method, it's not impossible."
"What method?" Cui Xueli stared at him curiously.
"It's very simple. If you act in a TV series like "To the Beautiful You" a few more times and attack the street a few times, your mentality will naturally calm down."
Chi Jingyuan said speechless words, but looked at Cui Xueli seriously: "Because you may not be an actor by then."
After saying that, he happily took a sip of coffee.
"You!"
Cui Xueli had a serious look on her face, ready to listen to the advice of her relatives, but she didn't expect to hear such a ridiculous and ridiculous opinion. Her expression changed wonderfully, and then she screamed anxiously, without paying attention to Chi Jingyuan's actions.
, and pushed him bitterly.
"Hey, poof..."
Although the pushing force was not strong, Chi Jingyuan, who was drinking coffee, was unprepared and his whole center of gravity fell directly to the side. He staggered a few steps to the side, and did not stop until he bumped into someone.
When he came down, the coffee in his hand also sprayed out due to the impact and shaking, splashing Chi Jingyuan himself and half of the person's body.
"Aisi,%#&￥%..."
Before Chi Jingyuan could see clearly who it was, a burst of curses with a lot of curse words entered his ears from the side.
The voice still sounds familiar.
After Chi Jingyuan stood still, he did not blame Cui Xueli for pushing him. Instead, he glanced at his clothes that were soaked by coffee, pursed his lips, then turned his head and looked at the person he hit, ready to apologize.
At this glance, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, he was indeed an acquaintance.
Dynamic Duo duo, Jaeho, the senior hip-hop guy.
Because there were many artists participating in the Gayo Daejeon today, and because it was rehearsal time, there were often artists coming in and out of the backstage lounge. Dynamic Duo didn't know when they walked up to Ji Jingyuan and the others.
Jaeho's voice was quite loud, which directly attracted the attention of the EXO members in front. They all stopped and looked back, and they quickly gathered around after realizing that something happened.
Several groups that were originally following EXO and preparing to return to the backstage, such as Secret and AOA, couldn't help but stop a little distance away and looked at the unexpected situation in front of them.
"Miah na da, senior."
When Chi Jingyuan saw that it was Jae Hao, he knew that he might not be able to be kind. Recently, he often saw him, and every time Jae Hao looked at Chi Jingyuan, his eyes were full of smiles. It was obvious that he was looking at him.
Extremely unhappy.
Therefore, I overturned the idea of preparing to sincerely apologize, and just said something embarrassing to Jaeho with a hint of apology in the business smile on his face.
Jae Hao had always had a smooth time pursuing Cui Shirley before. He was very good at dealing with girls like this who had a not very good personality and didn't have many friends.
However, the situation took a turn for the worse after meeting Chi Jingyuan. Cui Xueli took the initiative to keep a distance from him, ignored him when he called him to play, and did not respond to text messages and phone calls. It was not long before the contact was almost lost.
After thinking about it for a moment, he realized that Chi Jingyuan must have been the one causing the disturbance, and he felt very unhappy with him.
Especially in his heart, he felt that Cui Xueli must be with Chi Jingyuan. The flower he had been chasing for so long was picked by someone else. He was even more angry at this pretty boy and wanted to punish her severely.
But after thinking about it, SM is not someone he can mess with at will.
And now, Zaihao was originally very angry when someone hit him and spilled coffee all over him, but when he looked closely and saw that it was Chi Jingyuan, he was stunned for a moment, and the anger in his heart actually stopped for a moment.
He glanced at Chi Jingyuan and then at Cui Xueli who was standing next to him. After thinking quickly, he made up his mind. The anger on his face only increased instead of decreasing, and he took advantage of the situation to attack:
"Yeah, is this how you treat your seniors? Fighting in a place with so many people backstage, and spilling coffee on your seniors. Is this how your company and your agent teach you?"
Jae Hao shouted angrily in front of everyone, looking at Chi Jingyuan and wanting to vent all the atmosphere and unhappiness in his heart recently.
And this time it’s really the other party’s problem, and the timing is perfect.
"Jingyuan..."
Cui Xueli found that she was a little dignified after getting into trouble. She stood there for a few seconds and then took the initiative to come over and was about to apologize to Jae Hao and Chi Jingyuan, but was interrupted by Chi Jingyuan's wave before she could say anything.
Chi Jingyuan moved to stand in front of her and said to Jae Hao with a smile:
"Miah Nada, senior, we were not careful. I am willing to compensate you for all the cost of your clothes. I'm really sorry. It's so rude."
Chi Jingyuan's tone sounded sincere, and his smile was just right. He showed all the attitudes that a junior who made mistakes should have, and there was nothing picky about it.
"Is that all? Well, this dress of mine was sponsored by a sponsor. I'm going to rehearse soon, and I have to perform on stage in the evening. Do you want to compensate me? Can you afford the compensation? Ah jinjia, today's juniors really like to say this
Big talk..."
The anger on Jae Hao's face has turned into sarcasm, and he sarcastically loudly mocked Ji Jingyuan without mercy. The coordination of his eyes and expressions was also perfect, perfectly showing his displeasure and contempt. He kept his hands while speaking.
Straighten it out and point your index finger at Chi Jingyuan bit by bit.
His voice was really loud, and it was heard by many idols in the room through the lounge door. Not long after Jaeho's voice fell, several lounge doors nearby opened, and several heads popped out to take a look.
After explaining the situation, he went back to communicate, and soon several idols came out from inside.
missa, sistar and fx all heard the noise and came out. They stood aside and looked at the situation in front of them, while quietly asking the people they knew next to them what happened.
When Zheng Xiujing saw that Chi Jingyuan was in conflict, she quickly walked over, stood next to Shirley, and patted her back like a good sister, but her attention was entirely on Chi Jingyuan in front of her.
Behind the crowd, Apink and Girlsday also came back from the rehearsal. Looking at the lively scene with so many people in front, they were a little confused and quickly asked the people next to them about their situation.
Suddenly, the backstage was very lively.
And Zaihao was getting more and more excited. It was so satisfying to show off his authority in front of so many people and at the same time lose face to this pretty boy that he disliked so much.
"Then what does senior think it should be?"
Chi Jingyuan raised his eyes, thought for a moment, and asked curiously.
"As a junior, I have made such a mistake, so I would like to apologize with a big gift first." Zaihao waved his hand openly, as if he was taking advantage of the other party.
"Heh..." Chi Jingyuan laughed when he heard this and looked at the other party with his head tilted.
At this time, Jin Junmian came over and gave a gentle salute to Jae Hao, and pulled Chi Jingyuan: "Jingyuan, I have asked Sehun to call his agent. Just apologize, let's go back first."
Let the company handle it later."
"good."
Chi Jingyuan knew that he was at fault, but he could also see that the other party was obviously using the issue to stir up trouble. He was too lazy to argue with Jae Hao, and nodded in agreement with Jin Jun Mian, and finally nodded slightly to Jae Hao: "Senior Miah Nei
, I may not be able to meet your request, so let’s leave it to the company to negotiate. I’ll take my leave now.”
After saying that, he greeted Cui Xueli and Zheng Xiujing to follow them, and then walked towards the lounge with Kim Junmyeon and the members, ignoring the hiphop senior behind him.
"Yeah, did I let you go?"
"Is this your attitude towards your seniors?"
"Elsie, stop here, can't you hear me?"
"Axi...:
Zaihao looked at the people leaving and shouted several times in succession, but Chi Jingyuan didn't care at all and walked further and further away as if he didn't hear. This made Zaihao, who kept jumping and roaring, like a clown.
With so many female idols in full view, the anger in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
Feeling some playful eyes around him looking at him, and finally seeing Chi Jingyuan and Cui Xueli coming together with their heads close to each other as if they were talking about something, Zaihao, who felt that his face had dropped to the bottom, couldn't help it, and anger rushed into his mind and eyes.
Yihong picked up a bottle of water that was in the hands of herself and her group member Gaeko who was standing nearby, and smashed it directly at Chi Jingyuan.
"ah!"
"careful!"
Several people who had been watching nearby, such as Zheng Eunchi, immediately screamed when they saw it.
The scream made Chi Jingyuan, who had not noticed the situation behind him, react. He reflexively pushed Cui Xueli and Zheng Xiujing next to him, and then took a step back, just to avoid being thrown hard by Zaihao.
Come here, the bottle of drink with the parabola pointing downward.
"boom."
The drink bottle filled with water hit the ground in front of Chi Jingyuan hard. The water splashed onto his shoes and trouser legs and stained the ground with a pool of liquid. The dull impact sound made the entire backstage seem to be trapped in something.
An eerie silence.
No one spoke, even the sound of breathing could be vaguely heard. The loudest sound was the sound of Jaeho's chest rising and falling due to anger and his constant breathing.
"hehe……"
Chi Jingyuan didn't pay attention to the concerned glances beside him. He lowered his head and stared at the bottle of water at his feet for a long time. Suddenly, his expressionless face started to smile.
"Alas." He shook his head, breathed a sigh of relief, a bright smile hung on his face, his soft eyes curved into a crescent moon, he stood up straight and looked at Zaihao, and opened his legs
He walked slowly towards that side.
"Jingyuan..." Jin Junmian felt that Chi Jingyuan's expression was so familiar at this moment, and the feeling of déjà vu was completely familiar.
He immediately pulled Chi Jingyuan's shoulders from behind and whispered worriedly: "Jingyuan, this is SBS, not in the company..."
"Don't worry, brother Junmian." Chi Jingyuan gently removed Jin Junmian's hand from his shoulder, curled his lips, smiled brightly, but said in a casual tone:
