The two girl groups that came back together for interviews also have one very conspicuous thing in common, that is, both groups today have an extremely conspicuous member with red hair.
The one from Girls' Generation is Sunny, while the one from Girl's Day is Kim Ah Young. The former's hair is bright red, a bit brighter, while the latter's hair is burgundy, slightly darker.
If we look at it from Chi Jingyuan's point of view, he doesn't want to say much about Sunny's makeup look, but Jin Yarong's look is not bad. At least the sides of her long hair are not sticking to the scalp, and she actually looks quite sexy given her figure.
Finally, after each performed a part of their new song, the interview ended. The scene was cut to the stage by the director. A group of people in the waiting room breathed a sigh of relief after the camera lights dimmed.
Although they were all acquaintances and there was no time to exchange pleasantries, Chi Jingyuan, the two MCs and the two girl groups said goodbye to each other and left.
Next up on the stage was MAMAMOO, a four-member girl group that debuted slightly earlier than Red Velve last year and could barely be regarded as debuting at the same time. Their previous development can only be said to be half of that. Although the debut album was good, the response was not huge.
From before their debut until now, most people's evaluation of this group has been average. Especially in terms of appearance, they have been looked down upon by many people and have been rated as "not the looks of idols at all."
The company is not a big company, and there are rumors in the industry that this comeback happens to be the first anniversary of MAMAMOO's debut. If this comeback fails, the agency will go bankrupt, so this may be their last album.
But last month they released their second mini-album "Pink Funky". Although the title song "Um Oh Ah Yeh" has not won any top song so far, its results in other aspects are very good. Although Melon
It performed half as well, but performed very well in several other music source lists.
This has attracted the attention of many people, and the group's reputation has also risen rapidly during this period. The number of fan club members has increased by a thousand every day. Among the four generations of girl groups that have debuted in the past two years, except for Red Velvet,
, the second new girl group to have a certain splash and their own name.
On the Korean Internet these days, many people are talking about the first round of this summer’s women’s team battle, and the winner is MAMAMOO.
This victory does not mean winning in the rankings, because both sistar and AOA are ranked ahead of them, but it means that this group has gained the most benefits, the greatest profits, and the fastest rise in popularity from this comeback.
It seems that in the competition among the new girl groups that have debuted in the past two years, Bae Joo Hyun and the others will have multiple opponents.
Chi Jingyuan glanced at the young lady beside him who was watching the stage performance and thought to himself.
"ring ring ring ring my bell."
"I feel dizzy and my heart is pounding."
"..."
“we cant stop stop stop it’s party time.”
"That's it, the carnival moment continues."
At the entrance of the backstage, Chi Jingyuan watched all today's performances with appreciative eyes, especially the highlight, the first stage of the respective title songs of Girls' Generation and Girls' Day.
Although they are both members of the SM family, to be honest from his point of view, he actually prefers the girl's song "Ring My Bell" in comparison.
"Party" feels a little too sweet. Although it is a cool summer breeze, it still sounds a bit greasy, especially the 'p.a.r.t.y!' part, where two hands are placed on both sides of the shaking head like rabbit ears.
The cute choreography is a bit too boring and doesn't feel very age-appropriate.
It might be cuter if I use red velvet instead.
Starting with Chi Kyung Won and Bae Zhu Hyun, all the participating guests walked onto the stage from the backstage. While he was thinking to himself, he couldn't help but glance at the SNSD seniors who had just finished their performance on stage.
"In the second week of July on "Music Bank", EXO, and EXO...who is ranked first, uh,...which song will be ranked first?"
Standing at the front of the stage, when the camera came over, Bae Zhuhyun began to speak crisply about the hosting speech, but halfway through she felt a little inappropriate, so she quickly changed her words.
The place where one of the alternates should usually stand on both sides of the MC was also empty, and the other idols were standing in the row behind.
Especially the Sistar people had smiles on their faces, but they actually felt a little helpless in their hearts.
They are strong competitors in several other singing programs. In the past few days, they have won four first places in competition with AOA and Big Bang. Unfortunately, they are only in "Music Bank" and "Music Center".
In a program without a graduation mechanism, it is still overshadowed by "Boy with Luv", which has been released for more than a month. It is clear that the music performance is not good, but it always feels like something is missing.
SNSD and Girl's Day are back this week, and it's going to be even harder next.
"... Based on the final total score, today's winner is...EXO's "Boy with Luv", thick Camida!"
Bae Zhuhyun grinned brightly, clapped twice and handed the trophy to Chi Jingyuan. After receiving the trophy, Chi Jingyuan looked at it and began to give his acceptance speech.
Although he is the MC today, the EXO group did not come to play songs today, so there is still no encore stage. After saying a word of thanks, today's "Music Bank" ended here. After saying goodbye to the audience, everyone
The artists returned to the backstage, and there were a long line of people standing on both sides of the corridor at the exit of the backstage, talking quietly while waiting to thank all the staff of the program team.
Ji Jingyuan and Bae Zhuhyun were the last ones to go in as MC. When he walked in and stood at the edge of the entrance, the four closest ones happened to be the four members of Girls' Day. After seeing Chi Jingyuan, several people immediately laughed and picked.
The eyebrows look very familiar.
It is indeed quite familiar.
Before EXO became popular, they had known each other since they participated in the "Idol Games" the year before last. Not only Chi Kyung-won, but also several members of XO were very familiar with girls, not to mention that he had been dating Jin Yarong before.
After a while, we went on several dates together frankly.
Although we haven't had much contact in the past year, we already knew how we get along and our personalities, so it didn't affect our relationship.
"Dafa, I actually saw a real person! Is it XO's Yuan who appears in front of me?"
Li Huili was the liveliest one. After seeing Chi Jingyuan glance at him and raise an eyebrow, he put his hands on his heart and made an expression of extreme surprise. Then he frowned and gasped as if his heart couldn't bear the excitement.
"Hahaha……"
Several people nearby laughed together. Chi Jingyuan tilted his head and watched her performance. Not to mention, her acting skills were pretty good.
After admiring the acting skills for a while, he laughed: "Didn't we meet several times just now? Why are you fainting now?"
"The closest one right now...haha." Li Huili shook her head and said something cute, and then she couldn't help but laugh too.
Indeed, SNSD was always there when they met just now. The two groups didn't have much communication due to competition, so they only said hello to Chi Jingyuan.
Pei Zhuxuan looked a little surprised. She didn't know that Chi Jingyuan was so familiar with several people from Girl's Day. She laughed in agreement, blinked, nodded and stood aside without interrupting.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't even show up and I didn't sing, but I still managed to get the first place. It's really enviable." Jin Yarong lifted his dark red hair and raised the first place trophy in Chi Jingyuan's hand. His tone sounded a bit...
Envy: "What's the number?"
What swayed with his hair was the burst of fragrance that hit his face. Chi Jingyuan glanced at the smiling Pei Zhuxuan next to him, leaned against the wall of the corridor next to him, raised his head and recalled it, spread his hands and said: "This...I
I forgot about it, I really haven’t thought about it.”
"Hey, listen to this tone, it's different when it becomes popular."
Jin Yarong curled her lips angrily after hearing such rude words, and then she seemed to notice Chi Jingyuan's little action just now, and she couldn't help but glance at Pei Zhuxuan, and took in the white and red face.
But Pei Zhuxuan didn't seem to feel it. She made the same move as Chi Jingyuan, leaning against the wall on the other side, holding a microphone with both hands, pursed her lips and smiled, looking down.
"Forget it..." But Jin Yarong didn't look much. He turned to look at Chi Jingyuan, raised his chin, and there seemed to be some hint in his eyes wearing shining contact lenses: "Are you free in two days?"
Chi Jingyuan understood what the other party meant, but did not give a reply. Instead, he looked at Jin Yarong speechlessly: "Are you so free when you return... Let's talk about it then."
"Tch~ okay."
As if he sensed some rejection, Jin Yarong didn't say much more about it. A few people casually chatted about other things. After waiting for about ten minutes, the staff of "Music Bank" walked in one after another, and then "
Thank you for your hard work." The voice sounded continuously.
The staff of "Yin Yin" who walked in, besides smiling enthusiastically when they saw Ji Kyung Won when they first came in, greeted him and patted him on the shoulder, they were also Bae Zhu Hyun, who is also the MC, and
These idols from Girls’ Generation, who have a lot of seniority and seniority, can respond with some bright smiles.
When faced with the thanks from other artists, most of these staff just smiled lightly, or even nodded without smiling and quickly passed through, accepting the compliments of others as they should.
In fact, Chi Jingyuan himself has seen it several times. The staff of "Yinyin" scolded some idols and even their managers because of mistakes in the recording stage, but the other party could not retaliate, so they just
Be able to bow and apologize.
It can only be said that under the current system, most idol artists with low popularity, small companies, and low qualifications are still a little bit understated when facing TV stations and program staff.
But there are light ones, and of course there are serious ones, such as the male MC who was stared at with many vague glances.
After all the artists dispersed, Chi Kyung-won and Bae Zhu-hyun went to the office with the program team for a small meeting. After making a brief summary, the two said goodbye to the staff and returned to the backstage together.
"When you usually go out to play, where do you go?"
Walking slowly in the corridor, Pei Zhuxuan, who was walking side by side, suddenly asked a question, his tone was natural and his voice was crisp.
"ah?"
Suddenly hearing a voice coming from the side, Chi Jingyuan was stunned for a second, but he quickly came to his senses, turned around and looked at this serious man walking ahead, wiggling his little buttocks.
But he didn't look at his little sister, feeling somewhat clear in his heart.
Pei Zhuxuan is really attentive. Although she didn't speak much just now, she seemed to be vaguely aware of something in the conversation and attitude of Chi Jingyuan and Jin Yarong.
But this is just a guess. It obviously happened a long time ago and she doesn't know whether it is true or not. At the same time, she is unwilling and will not make irresponsible remarks on Chi Jingyuan's own social relationships.
Just because of those little accusations and speculations, she had been feeling a little bit suppressed in her heart. At this moment, she finally couldn't help it, and she seemingly casually mentioned what they had talked about before.
Seeing her little look, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but smile.
Why so cute?
"With whom? If you are with the members, you can have so much fun. You can go to dinners, movies, concerts, etc., and I even went with them to ride a bicycle by the river at night..."
The smile in his heart spread to his face, he blinked and answered the other party's question seriously, as if he didn't see anything different:
"If it's the girls' day, there are a lot less places to go. They can just have a meal and sing songs, but I haven't participated in it recently..."
Speaking of which, he paused and looked at Pei Zhuxuan: "Which one do you want?"
"Which one?" She seemed to be stopped by the question, and turned to look over in confusion.
Chi Jingyuan's eyes met hers. Looking into his dark eyes, he shook his head as expected: "Let's go out to play. Where do you want to go?"
"you……"
After hearing this, Pei Zhuxuan was stunned for a moment, and then her mouth twitched slightly with a strange expression, as if she wanted to laugh, but she held it back. Then she rolled her eyes at Chi Jingyuan with a look of disdain, and replied with a smile in her eyes:
"How can you still be so idle when you are so hot... Let's talk about it then."
After saying that, she hummed softly and sped up her walking pace, deliberately overtaking the car and reaching the front. But accelerating also naturally increased the frequency of her butt twisting.
Chi Jingyuan tilted his head from behind and looked at the scenery in front of him, laughed and chased after him.
…
Chi Jingyuan is already quite familiar with some aspects of Pei Zhuhyun's personality. Especially as the relationship between the two gradually becomes closer, the little sister's little habits and temper that she would never show to others are slowly revealed to him.
.
Perhaps because of his age, Bae Zhuhyun is quite mature in many aspects, very careful and good at taking care of others.
When she is with Chi Jingyuan, no matter who she faces, she always looks generous and generous. Even if she may be dissatisfied, angry, or jealous because of some things in her heart, she will basically not let these negative things happen.
Emotions are shown in front of others. While taking great care of Chi Jingyuan's face, he also maintains his own style.
Not strong, not timid, always so beautiful.
But in fact, this sister has quite a lot of thoughts and is very sensitive. At the same time, she also has a strong sense of victory when faced with many things. She is also a little tsundere from time to time, so it is easy to accumulate some emotions.
In the past, she would often hold it in her heart, but now she is used to venting it out in front of Chi Jingyuan.
Or just pretend not to care, point out the problem, and let Chi Jingyuan understand it on his own.
This contrast made Chi Jingyuan very interesting, and this mode of getting along also made him feel very comfortable and relaxed.
Just like this moment, Mingming looked a little dissatisfied when he was on the TV station. When he returned to the dormitory after get off work in the evening, he sent messages and chatted with him. He even took a few photos of his nail polish color and asked him. Which one looks good.
Tsk tsk.
They all look good, okay.
While the two were chatting happily on their mobile phones, SM also made new moves. It has been 11 days since the release of EXO's regular second album "EXO-L", and physical sales have reached 980,000.
When the mark was only one step away from 1 million, under the expectations and appeals of countless fans, and in order to promote sales, a lot of XO-related materials were finally released on the official account, especially
All behind-the-scenes content during the preparation of the four single albums were edited and released together.
Ariel, who had been waiting for a long time and wanted to know more about what oppas are like at work, was ecstatic. It also attracted the curiosity about EXO because of this amazing successful comeback and regular second album.
and interested fans of other boy bands, as well as a large number of passers-by.
After it was officially uploaded, there was not much publicity, and soon a huge number of clicks came in one after another.
After clicking play, the first scene of the album highlights made many people feel a little surprised, surprised and satisfied.
On the screen, it seems to be in a conference room-like place. Chi Jingyuan has a serious expression and is introducing something to others:
"I think we can use this model this time when we return..."
