At this time, other agents and assistants all rushed over when they saw the unexpected situation, and with their help, Chi Jingyuan was quickly moved out.
The commotion caused by EXO at the edge of the stage also attracted all the attention of the reporters in the exhibition hall. Their eyes lit up, as if they had seen a beast with fresh flesh and blood, and they quickly raised their cameras to shoot wildly. For a moment, the flashes were like a rain of arrows.
Scanned it.
An EXO member suddenly fainted during an event, which is a great piece of hot news that will definitely arouse widespread discussion.
In particular, this member is Yuan who is the most popular in the music industry recently. "Some", which he just finished singing, is still at the top of the charts of major music sources. He continues to provide Ji Jingyuan with a lot of popularity and popularity every day.
exposure.
Seeing the SM people leaving the scene in a hurry, all the reporters immediately got into work mode.
Soon, a piece of news shot to the top of the search website at an astonishing speed:
"EXO member Yuan suddenly fainted during the event and was rushed to the hospital. He was suspected of being exhausted."
There were several pictures included in the news, including photos of SM people gathered around in panic, and photos of Chi Jingyuan being carried away. Although they are not very clear, you can recognize who is who in them.
As soon as this news appeared on the hot search, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people. Countless clicks immediately poured in, making its popularity ranking rise steadily. It didn't take long for it to reach the first position.
The number of comments under the news has also increased dramatically, with many new comments being posted every second:
"%...Axiba shit SM, really%..."
"Sure enough, Dog Company is still such a piss-poor, squeezing its artists in every way. Has Yuan been on a devilish schedule lately?"
"Can EXO's manager die? Can an artist be so tired that he can't see it? He has to faint during the activity to know?"
"I asked Yuan and Suzy how it felt like there was no open mic during their last week of singing. He didn't say much in every interview and testimonial. It turned out that there was something wrong with his health. SM company is really inhumane and should close down as soon as possible."
"SM is a black man all my life... I hope oppa is fine."
There are all kinds of comments, including those who have nothing to do with me, some who are gloating about my misfortune, some who are watching the fun, and some who are concerned.
But most of them were scolding, and naturally it was SM, and basically all fans of EXO and Yuan were scolding them.
In fact, it is not a big news that a Peninsula artist fainted during an event, because the artist himself is under a lot of pressure, coupled with the pressure from the company, not eating much during body management, a high-intensity activity schedule and other factors combined, many factors
Idol's physical condition has never been very good, and this happens several times every once in a while.
There are many things like this in SM. For example, Jung Soo Jung fainted on stage more than once.
The main reason why Chi Jingyuan is so popular this time is because his personal nationality and popularity are really high. Recently, he has become a trend in the music industry. With his status as an actor, even people who don't follow boy bands know it.
He easily attracts the attention of passers-by as soon as the news comes out.
When this kind of news happens to other people, you can naturally watch it happily, but when it happens to your own idol, you can't bear it immediately. The huge number of XO fans instantly flooded SM's official website and SNS.
In particular, some big fans and fans who are close to the EXO members and often have first-hand information began to break the news, saying, "Recently, EXO's album preparations were scheduled too close to the comeback, so the time has been delayed."
It's very stressful and I have to work overtime until two or three in the morning every day. The members are very hardworking.
And because Yuan started practicing with Bae Suzy later than the other members, she had health problems. She had a fever for a long time and never recovered...'
After the news came out, the ancestral graves of all SM managers were posted a hundred and eighty times on the Internet within half an hour, dancing gracefully in the sky over Seoul.
In Peninsula, whenever something goes wrong with an artist, it's right to blame the agency.
Just when the Internet was abuzz with criticism, Chi Jingyuan had also woken up.
…………
"It's nothing serious. It's just a general fever and some other symptoms caused by a viral cold. I fainted this time because I exercised a lot in practicing and dancing these past few days and didn't eat much."
In the special ward of Samsung Hospital in Seoul, Chi Kyung-won was sitting on the bed and infusing fluids. At the same time, he was holding his mobile phone and talking about his situation with his second brother who called him immediately after learning the news.
As he said, he did not have a serious illness, but he had not rested well, which led to his general condition getting worse. He woke up after being sent to the hospital by his agent, and he felt much better after being given an infusion.
"You said it so easily. Did you know that the calls from the eldest sister just now came to me?"
Chi Jingxu was visibly relieved when he heard that there was no problem, but soon he became annoyed and began to taunt him sarcastically: "And do you love your job so much that you can stay sick even if you have a fever?
After leaving your job, is being an idol so addictive? Why didn’t I see you working so hard when you were in school?”
Chi Jingyuan had no way to explain to his second brother that getting sick in the idol world was nothing more than a minor problem. There were so many people working with illness and injuries.
Although they are both idols, their identities are still somewhat different, and the second brother will definitely not understand, or be too lazy to understand these things, so Chi Jingyuan just kept listening to the other person's complaints without trying to explain anything.
Although the second brother's tone was not very good and he was always criticizing and ridiculing him, he still enjoyed this kind of family concern.
After talking for a long time, Chi Jingxu once again confirmed that nothing happened without his brother, and was too lazy to scold him any more. He said casually: "Forget it, it's fine..."
"By the way, I contacted Li Xiuman before I talked to you on the phone. His attitude and tone were not very good, which put some pressure on him."
"Uh..." Chi Jingyuan was a little dumbfounded.
"Although it's nothing serious, we still have to show our attitude." Chi Jingxu said briefly without much explanation, but Chi Jingyuan understood what he meant.
"Yeah, I know." He responded.
"Okay, you should have a good rest for a few days. If you feel uncomfortable living in the dormitory, come home."
After talking about the main business, Chi Jingxu also relaxed. Finally, he suddenly remembered something and his tone became weird: "By the way, the female idol you have been working with recently seems to be good-looking and popular. Have you...
"
"goodbye."
Chi Jingyuan said goodbye expressionlessly and immediately hung up the phone.
Every time the second brother talks to him, he can't be serious for long, and the topic always turns to this topic in the end, which really leaves him speechless.
After hanging up the phone, Chi Jingyuan's cell phone kept ringing. They were all friends who saw the hot search and sent messages and came to express their concern and greetings.
Not only Sunny, Taeyeon, Jung Eunji, Seulgi and several other close relatives and friends, basically everyone who exchanged contact information with Ji Kyungwon sent messages, and his mobile phone was not stopped for a while.
Pass.
Nothing happened at the moment, so Chi Jingyuan luckily took his cell phone to reply one by one, expressing his gratitude for the other party's concern.
After a while, the door of the room was knocked, and Li Chenghuan and Park Jaehyun walked in together. After seeing that Chi Jingyuan was in good condition, Li Chenghuan exhaled and said with some fear: "It's okay, it really scared me just now.
.”
"Next time we encounter this situation, we must not do this. Director Chi called me just now and scolded me."
"Jingyuan, you really need to eat this time...even if you don't have much time to rest, you still need to eat. Just now the doctor said that the dizziness is not only due to lack of rest, but also due to not eating properly."
Park Jae-hyun said with a wry smile, walked to the side and poured a glass of water and handed it to Chi Jingyuan,
"Drink of water."
"..." Chi Jingyuan took it and took a sip, then asked curiously: "Where are the other members?"
"After they put you in the car, they went back to the company first. All subsequent trips today have been cancelled. They were quite panicked when they saw you in this situation, and they probably weren't in the mood to do any activities."
As Li Chenghuan spoke, he took out a document from the folder he carried with him and handed it to Chi Jingyuan: "This is the announcement the company is preparing to release to the outside world regarding your matter. Jingyuan, please take a look and see if there are any problems or comments."
Tell me what you want and I will pass it on to the company.”
Chi Jingyuan put down the water glass, took it and looked at it carefully.
It was a relatively normal company announcement, telling that Chi Jingyuan was fine and some of the reasons why he fainted during this event.
What's more special is that at the end of the announcement, he actually apologized to the fans. You should know that SM Company basically never issues any apology in announcements for these things, and usually just makes a hasty announcement.
"Just send it like this, there's no problem."
Chi Jingyuan nodded and returned the document.
"Then I will communicate with the company later. Fans rioted after you were taken to the hospital. Jingyuan, you don't even know how crazy your fans are. The official website and SNS are full of curses. Now there are fans at the door of the building.
We protested there."
Li Chenghuan sighed when he thought of the messages he had just seen on the Internet. After putting the files away, he continued: "You should have a good rest these days. You will definitely not be able to work these days. Your album may
It will be postponed. The company should be meeting to discuss this matter now..."
…………
In the small conference room on the fourth floor of SM Company, Lee Soo Man and Kim Young Min, as well as the record planning department and publicity department personnel responsible for EXO's preparations, were all present. The center of discussion in this impromptu meeting was Ji Kyung Won's.
Time and what to do with EXO’s album.
"We have communicated with the hospital. The doctor said that it is a viral cold. The symptoms were originally mild but lasted for too long, and the patient was too tired and the condition worsened. Now he needs to take a good rest for five days to a week.
"
A room manager was explaining to everyone the news he had just received from the hospital.
"Is this diagnosis reliable? Could it be..."
"The special ward of Samsung Hospital in Seoul is usually not open to the public. If we went there, we couldn't even find the door. The person treating Jingyuan Xi is the most authoritative medical person in our country. There will definitely be no problem." said the room director.
Yuyan glanced at the person who raised the objection, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.
"..." The person who doubted the diagnosis was unable to utter a word. He sat there and pretended to read the documents.
"..." Li Xiuman nodded to show that he understood, and then looked at Li Changcan in the record department: "What's going on with XO's second mini album?"
"EXO's second mini-album preparation has reached the final stage. According to the previous progress, it can be completed within the scheduled time. However, if Kyungwonxi takes a break, many things will not be carried out without his participation and the progress will be completely stalled, including the title song and
During the filming of the "MV" for the first song, he was the most important person." Li Changcan said with a salute.
"Has the return time been determined?"
"According to the previous progress, April 15 has been determined. We are preparing to officially announce the news on April 1, and at the same time conduct the first wave of publicity and warm-up."
"…………"
Li Xiuman took the pen and scratched it casually on the A4 paper in front of him, then looked at Jin Yingmin next to him, nodded and exchanged glances with each other, put down the pen and said in a deep voice: "Then postpone it, let Jingyuan
Let’s take a few days off and let the other members relax.”
"But director Nim, if it is postponed, EXO's return will be at the end of April or early May, and then the return period will overlap with their first Asian tour."
Li Changcan was a little anxious and said quickly: "Furthermore, the negotiations between the company departments, including the overall publicity plan and pre-sale opening time, as well as the communication with the TV station, have been completed. If it is postponed now..."
"Then why don't you go shoot the MV instead of Jingyuan?"
Li Xiuman looked at him with a smile, interrupted Li Changcan's words, his tone was playful, but everyone sat upright.
"I mean……"
"okay……"
Lee Soo Man tapped the table three times with his fingers overlapping, as if he was a little impatient. He glanced around with squinted eyes and emphasized: "EXO's return will be postponed for now. The specific return time will be determined after Jingyuan recovers from his illness and returns to the group."
The progress is confirmed.”
"The Propaganda Department will make preparations and release the news about the postponement of the return tomorrow."
"Give it to Smecta."
Li Changcan and the surrounding management immediately bowed and saluted.
…………
SM company made two announcements for two consecutive days. The first one explained the cause of Chi Kyung-won's accident and his current physical condition. At the same time, he apologized to fans and said that he would pay more attention to the health of his artists.
The second one was to announce that EXO's comeback originally scheduled for mid-April would be postponed due to the health of the members. The specific time is still uncertain, and then he apologized.
The first announcement made the flood of abuse against SM on the Internet stop a lot, and many fans also stopped. Since Chi Jingyuan is fine, that's fine. They have vented their anger and are happy with the scolding.
Moreover, this time SM actually took the initiative to apologize to artists and fans for the first time. This made many fans a little surprised and excited. They thought that their fighting was effective and led to this result. They were even more happy and even had feelings for SM.
I gained some good feelings, and at the same time I was ready for the next battle.
The announcement of the postponement of the second album also caused a lot of discussion. Many people expressed their dissatisfaction with the postponement of the album after waiting for a long time, but most of them expressed their appreciation for this behavior. After all, it was postponed voluntarily due to the health of its artists.
, can be regarded as the conscience of the industry, and they all expressed that they are very much looking forward to XO's return this time and will definitely buy their album to support them.
The most interesting thing is that through the apology and album postponement for this incident, SM has actually gained a lot of favor from fans and passers-by. The reviews have strangely improved a lot online, which is really ironic.
Chi Jingyuan returned to the dormitory after staying in the hospital for two days, and had a good rest in the dormitory for a few days.
His illness was not serious to begin with, and he recovered quickly after receiving treatment, rest, and food. The day after he returned to the dormitory, he was almost well enough to return to the team, but the company insisted on giving him two extra days of free time.
Damn it, anyway, the album has been postponed and the time is not as urgent as before. Let him make a complete recovery and stop making trouble.
Although the other members are not taking the holidays together, they are still practicing and running schedules, but thanks to him, they have felt a lot more relaxed these days. They don't have to work overtime until two or three in the morning to catch up with the progress like some time ago.
These days, members can go back to the dormitory to rest before twelve o'clock in the evening. Everyone feels more energetic after getting enough sleep.
However, some people are depressed and don't seem to be very happy.
Until March 22nd, after having rested for several days, Chi Jingyuan, who was healthy and healthy, was sitting on the sofa in the dormitory. There was a variety show on the TV with the volume turned up loudly, but he did not watch it, but listened to it.
The voice was scrolling through the phone, paying attention to the recent interesting things in the entertainment industry.
BTS ended a month of singing competitions. Although they did not win any of the singing competitions this time, their return this time has received a lot of praise for their unique style and personalized stage, and their fans have increased significantly.
After ending their singing career, the agency Big Hit announced that BTS will officially enter the Xiaguo market in April.
The income of idol groups in the peninsula is really not high, so basically as long as idols have some names in the peninsula, the company will choose to explore overseas markets.
At present, there is no successful precedent for entering the United States. The common choices are Neon or Xiaguo.
Originally, Big Hit was a little hesitant about which one to choose, but because EXO was very successful in Xia Guo, and they happened to have Xia Guotong in the team, they decided to go to Xia after some discussion, and their return this time
The title song itself is a bilingual version.
Only then did Chi Jingyuan find out that BTS's comeback title song "Man" actually had a Xia version, and the lyrics were written by Fang Wenshan, a well-known lyricist in Xia. From this, it can be seen that they have long been interested in the Xia market.
I am so coveted that I am confident that I have made preparations in advance.
With a bit of expectation, Chi Jingyuan went online to watch the Xiawen version of the MV for "A Man". After two minutes, he silently closed the page with an uncontrollable crazy smile.
Wish them all the best, he remembered that BTS still has two good-looking members, and with Wu Saek as the Chinese-speaking member, the development momentum should be pretty good.
Girls' Generation breathed a sigh of relief after finishing their singing competition with Yuan&suzy's "Some". With the dark cloud hanging over their heads gone, they managed to fend off the gods this week and won the top spot in all singing competitions.
The trophy also allowed the SONES to overcome their disappointment in the previous two weeks and get back on their feet.
Although Girls' Generation's comeback has declined significantly this time, it is indeed impossible to return to zero. That is to say, the sound source of "Some" is too outrageous, and the popularity and national popularity of Ji Kyung Won and Bae Suzy's partnership are too high, otherwise they should change
As for opponents, Girls' Generation could have won at least several first places in the first two weeks.
After all, although the sound source of "mr.mr." is lacking in stamina, it is explosive. Their current album sales of 140,000 are indeed down by half compared to last year, but they are still clearly inferior compared to other girl groups.
However, sone's good days will not last for a few days. 2NE1, whose performance last year was very poor and was criticized a lot, has made a very strong comeback with the regular second album "Crush". Sales and music sources have all rebounded, and the double hit "come back home"
and "Gotta Be You" performed very well on the music charts and have overshadowed Girls' Generation.
Especially for the former, if "Some", which had been released for a month, was still too strong to firmly dominate the weekly charts, "Come Back Home" might have won the weekly crown in the first week of its comeback.
In addition to the battle between these two old rival girl groups, 4minute, whose fifth mini-album on the 17th contained the title song "What Are You Doing Today", also performed very well.
In addition, ACUBE also announced that Apink will return on March 31st. The title song "mr.chu" has released a trailer video, and the response has been very good.
The competition among these girl groups is really fierce. Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but sigh as he watched the comeback news coming out one by one.
By the way, Apink's title song "mr.chu" also has 'mr' in it. Maybe it will be interesting to reveal a relationship or something like Girls' Generation.
In Chi Jingyuan's view, the word 'mr' is already a curse.
"ring……"
The cell phone rang suddenly, it was Park Jae-hyun's call.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Chi Jingyuan answered the phone easily, and at the same time picked up the remote control and turned down the volume of the TV.
"Jingyuan, how is your health?"
"It's no problem. In fact, it was fine the day before yesterday... I'm really not used to having so much free time these past two days."
"I have already told the company that I will go back tomorrow."
Chi Jingyuan glanced at the TV and replied with a chuckle.
After I fully recovered, I felt like I was reborn, and I was very energetic.
"That's good, that's what I'm telling you. SM has received several invitations. The 'Seoul Fashion Week' is coming to an end. After you return tomorrow, you will go to the company first, and then the first trip will be to go see it.
show."
"Watching a show?" Chi Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.
"Hey, this 'Seoul Fashion Week' will be held at Seoul Design Culture Park on March 21st. You EXO will be the opening performer and catwalk guest, but you were in the hospital that day and couldn't come. The other 11 members performed..."
Park Jae-hyun began to explain: "I heard that several designers working with the organizer admire you very much. They think you have a very good temperament and figure and are suitable for the catwalk. The organizer also attaches great importance to your popularity and has sent many invitations to SM.
.”
"Come on, brother, I can't walk in the show." Chi Jingyuan smiled bitterly.
"You need to practice for catwalks in advance. You don't have this time. This time you just have to go for an interview and watch a show at the same time. It's a very relaxing schedule, which is perfect for you who have just recovered from illness."
"After you come back, EXO's album production will start again, and you will definitely be busy again." Park Jae Hyun's tone sounded quite relaxed.
"Okay, I understand."
"By the way, I have already registered the two songs "If You" and "Come on" that you gave me, Jingyuan. Do I need to put them into the music library?"
At the end of his speech, Park Jae-hyun remembered something Chi Jingyuan told him two days ago and quickly added.
"Forget it about "if you", we can sing it ourselves..."
Chi Jingyuan pondered for a moment, then said to his mobile phone: "The other song is a girl group song, just put it in the music library."
