After taking a short rest in the dormitory, all EXO members returned to the company.
Even Kim Jong-in, who has limited mobility, uses a cane to follow him... He is also quite unlucky. Although his foot is injured and he can't walk smoothly, he can't just go home and lie down to rest. Instead, he has to follow him in all recent activities, including
This is true for concerts and "Infinite Challenge" specials. Even if you can't move, you still have to sit next to me.
But he didn't complain much. After all, if he took a vacation directly, he would disappear from the screen for two months. A career-minded idol cannot tolerate such a complete gap period. He can show his face in front of fans to increase his presence. By the way,
I'm actually quite willing to sell myself as a cruel fan.
But I can’t attend this comeback... Looking at the enthusiastic response from online fans and passers-by to the preview of the title song of the reissued album, especially the style of "Blood, Sweat and Tears" has received unanimous praise. Originally, this song
With a lot of parts in his body, he probably wouldn't be in a good mood at this time.
As Chi Jingyuan expected, the manager first warned them not to express any personal opinions on Tiffany's matter at the small meeting, whether it was on the show or on SNS. The company has been very busy these two days and really didn't want to
Any further disturbances will amplify the negative impact.
Of course, the members nodded and said yes. They have been seniors for more than four years after debuting. Ji Kyung-won and the others have always taken this kind of thing very seriously and have never had a similar situation. Lee Seung-hwan is quite relieved about EXO. In fact, it is just a warning.
That's all.
Speaking of which, although Huang Miying has such a major negative incident that is well-known throughout the country, it has done a lot of damage to herself and the golden brand of Girls' Generation. Many people even predict that because of this incident, Girls' Generation may only have
Seven people are more likely not to renew their contracts next year because of this.
It's interesting that SNSD had such a big impact, but SM's stock price didn't drop much. It just had a very small downward fluctuation at first, but after SM released EXO's comeback notice and some materials, it quickly rose again.
return.
It can only be said that the market and stock investors know who this company relies on to make money now, and the reaction of the stock price ruthlessly shows the cruelty of Kpop's replacement.
However, at this time, SM's stock price has already experienced a sharp decline... The news of Xiaguo's market restrictions some time ago finally came out. Many people know that the biggest influence among idols is EXO, and SM's stock price is also
I fell in response to the sound, a big dive, and it took a lot of effort to catch my breath the past few days.
In addition to Huang Meiying's matter, Lee Seung-hwan then focused on talking about his upcoming comeback and some confirmed itinerary.
First, he talked about his return to the first stage and his next singing plan, and then there was the recording of MBC's new variety show "Star Show 360", the program invitation of JTBC TV station's "Knowing Brothers", as well as various variety shows, live broadcasts, radio stations, etc.
category related activities.
The others are some personal schedules, such as the series of promotional activities for the upcoming release of Byun Baekhyun's "Step by Step: Rei", the release of the OST sound source of the CBX team's TV series, and the end of the month message sent by the crew of Chi Kyung-won's "Goblin"
Notice of joining the group.
There are also concerts, some advertisements, and magazine cover shoots mixed in. The dense schedule can be overwhelming...but it's like this once the comeback period comes, and everyone is used to it.
I just returned to Seoul today and nothing happened. No one left after the meeting. A few people with personal schedules went to confirm and inquire with their agents, while the others sat there and chatted.
While Chi Jingyuan was listening to Park Chanyeol bragging about his unrestrained style last night, he was scrolling through his mobile phone to read online messages about the trailer of the title song. His phone vibrated and he received a text message.
"I'm downstairs in the dormitory!"
It was sent by Mina, whose relationship has improved by leaps and bounds since yesterday.
Yesterday, I sent text messages after we separated and went back home. I also made a secret phone call. I sent text messages when I got up this morning. Before lunch, after dinner, I was getting ready to board the plane. After arriving in Seoul, this girl sent all the messages.
On the first day when their relationship progressed, Chi Jingyuan discovered that Ming Jingnan seemed to be very attached to him after yesterday, and she was really a bit clingy.
In the past, she would take several days to send a text message, and add a smiley face every time. These actions seemed like disguise at the moment. Now that she remembered, she would send a message directly. Even if Chi Jingyuan was busy and had no time to reply, she
I also send my own.
The emoticons have also become much more vivid. A cute little penguin pattern is made into flowers by her. It can be used in any sentence and in any context and pasted on the back.
Not to mention, it looks pretty cute.
"Didn't your manager pick you up? Go back quickly." Chi Jingyuan glanced at the members next to him, then lowered his head and tapped the screen.
"No, I came back on my own! I'm getting ready to go upstairs! (Penguin tries hard)... What are you doing now?"
"We are going back soon, we just finished the meeting."
"Oh, yes, I also watched your trailer. The promotional photos for "Blood, Sweat, and Tears" were well taken, and suddenly I felt that the suit felt so good when worn..."
Chi Jingyuan felt that the girl most likely licked the corners of her mouth when she typed this sentence... He had already mastered this habit of hers.
Although she has a pure and innocent face, she can always make such sexy and seductive little movements and looks.
"Then next time we go out, you will also wear a suit?"
"(Penguin Bobo)"
"By the way, will your comeback stage be "Music Bank" on the 19th? I will watch it then."
"Arnie, I didn't have time to pre-record the stage in Neon a few days ago, so this time the stage will be on the 21st for "Inkigayo"."
"In "Inkigayo", Jeongyeon Unnie is still there as the MC, so let's wait and see on the 21stkkkkkkkkk I'm at the dormitory."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There were no text messages after receiving this one. I guess Mingjingnan met a member he hadn’t seen for a few days, so Chi Jingyuan put down his phone and started
Listen carefully to the story told by Park Chanyeol next to you.
…
Nai Minami returned to the dormitory with her suitcase. Maybe because the suitcase was relatively heavy, it made a little noise when she was lifting it. She was discovered by someone inside when she just came in and was changing her shoes.
"mina-chan!"
Saka Minatozaki rubbed her eyes and walked out of the room. When she saw Nai Minami at the door, she was shocked. She ran over to greet her wearing slippers. She rushed up to hug her and smelled her vigorously: "
Wow, it still smells good! You look good, did you have a lot of fun at home these days?"
"Stop, I can't stand still!" Mingjing Nan complained, but he just smiled and did not stop him.
She knows this is a way for her friends to express their closeness.
Saka Minatozaki hugged Nai Minami and shook her, and then prepared to help her carry the box in. However, when she lifted it, she found that it was a bit heavy and she couldn't move it, and she got stuck there.
Then it seemed that I couldn't save my face, so I used both hands to pull the bag in by the handles, usually humming and saying: "It's so heavy! Why do you bring so many things?"
Najing Nan bent over to change his shoes: "It's just some daily necessities, some small gifts I bought for you... and some snacks prepared by my mother."
Last time she casually told her mother that there was no use for a suitcase. This time when she went back, her mother prepared a large suitcase for her and filled it with snacks for her to bring back.
"Gift? Let me take a look!" Saka Minatozaki was happy when she heard it. She lowered her head and walked around the box. Looking at her movements, she even wanted to stick to it and smell it.
"I'll show you later!"
After changing into slippers, the two of them walked in together. Nai Minami glanced around and asked curiously: "Is there just sana-chan alone?"
"Dahyun and Tzuyu went out to watch "The Tunnel", and Nayeon and the others went shopping..." Sasha Minazaki took the initiative to help Nai Nan carry her suitcase and walked towards the dormitory: "I went there two days ago
I’m a little tired from playing, so I’m too lazy to go out.”
"oh."
Najing Nan nodded clearly...just go out.
After returning to the room and putting away the things he had brought back, Nai Minami was already bored before she could sit down. Saka Minatozaki walked over to the box with an expectant look on her face. She opened and closed her little mouth and reminded happily:
"Gift! Gift!"
"..." Seeing his friend so excited, Mingnan felt a little embarrassed. He picked up the box and opened it on the table. While taking it out, he whispered: "They are all very common things...
"
Said to be gifts, except for the snacks and supplements that her mother asked her to bring back to the members, most of them were gadgets she bought during the summer festival yesterday. They may be quite novel to other members who have come into contact with them, but for
For Minazaki Saka, a native of Osaka, this is very common.
Seeing her enthusiasm and expectation, Mina-chan felt a little helpless.
However, Minazaki Saka didn't dislike it at all. Instead, she pointed at one and exclaimed: "Wow, what a cute little mask..." as if she had seen such a neon handicraft for the first time.
He picked it up and looked at it with a look of admiration. After playing with it for a while, he looked over again and said, "There is also this, this little fan is so beautiful."
She put down the mask, picked up a mini round fan with a cherry blossom pattern, and fanned herself very hard, causing her long bangs to flutter around and she giggled.
Grinning happily.
Seeing this, Mingjing Nan also laughed out loud and looked at her antics happily.
"Fans, masks, and hairpins! These are all things from the temple fair..." After looking at it, Minatozaki Saka discovered the key point. She raised her head and blinked and looked over curiously: "You can go there after you go back.
Have you participated in the summer festival...Wow, what a beautiful bracelet!"
Just as she was talking, her eyes lit up and she came closer, staring very close to the bracelet, almost cross-eyed: "I haven't seen you wear it before, did you just buy it... There is also a small wind chime!"
"This..."
Najing Nan stroked the bracelet on her right arm rather preciously, then bent her eyes and smiled.
She thought it was fine when sana complimented other gifts on how beautiful they were, but when she said this one was beautiful, she really praised it to her heart.
After thinking about it for a while, Minami Nai, who had been holding back a lot of things to share after last night, hesitated for a moment, then she leaned into Saka Minatozaki's ear and whispered a few words.
"Ah? Jingyuan-kun and EXO also happen to be in Osaka? Is it such a coincidence?"
After listening to a paragraph, Sasha Minatozaki's eyes widened, and she asked in surprise, and then she seemed to remember something again, and nodded clearly: "Oh, yes, what happened to Girls' Generation's Tiffany-senpai in the past two days... because it's SM
TOWN and the others should have been together at that time... After that, everyone else went back to Seoul, but EXO was left because they had activities?”
Huang Meiying has been a top player these past two days, and it's hard not to know. Even when watching sports news, after the Peninsula team lost, you can see the sarcasm of "Congratulations Tiffany" in the back.
"Yeah." Najingnan pursed her lips and nodded.
"Then you took the initiative to call him yesterday to invite him out to attend the Summer Festival and watch the fireworks display?" Minazaki Saka's eyes widened, as if she was in disbelief.
"Yes……"
Najing Nan met her gaze and blinked: "Yesterday there happened to be a fireworks festival held in Yodogawa..."
"I didn't mean this..."
Minazaki Saka grabbed Minami's arm and shook it: "Are you possessed by something, Mina-chan!"
She is very aware of Mingjing Nan's character. Although this little girl from the same hometown is beautiful, smart, persistent, and has many good qualities, she is not proactive in character, especially when it comes to things like relationships. She is used to being criticized.
Guiding character.
Being able to take the initiative to invite a boy to go to the Summer Festival without revealing the relationship, apart from really liking it, must have mustered a lot of courage.
"hey-hey"
Nai Minami looked at Minazaki Saka with a toothy smile and patted the back of her hand gently, but she felt a little sigh in her heart.
And you have done a lot of credit, sana-chan!
"I called him yesterday. At that time, he happened to be visiting the Summer Festival in New Kitano with the members of XO..."
Under the little sister's questioning, Nai Minami sat on the bed and began to whisper to Saka Minatozaki what happened yesterday.
The memory of yesterday was so profound. Even though Mingjing Nan's story-telling talent was not excellent, she still described yesterday's scene vividly. There were many small details that Chi Jingyuan had not noticed, and they were all captured by her.
It was specifically mentioned, which made Minazaki Saka startled.
"You even took a photo? Let me see it! Let me see it!"
Especially after hearing that the photo was taken, Minazaki Saka's curiosity suddenly exploded, and she pulled Mina and shook her around.
Najing Nan smiled reservedly, and without hesitation, he took out his phone and called up the photos that he had seen countless times from yesterday to now, and showed them to her.
"Wow……"
Opening her mouth slightly and looking at the pictures on her phone, Minazaki Saka couldn't help but exclaimed.
Photos of people wearing yukatas and masks walking side by side on the street, photos of half-masks squatting on the ground laughing, photos of each holding snacks and feeding each other, and photos of various fireworks...
Every picture is well taken, and every picture seems to tell a moving story.
Just looking at it, her little mouth, which had been opened out of curiosity and excitement, closed at some point.
At first, I watched it very carefully. While watching it, I asked how it was taken, and asked questions such as, "Why does he/you have such an expression and smile so happily?" He looked like he was happy for his friend.
But I don’t know why, but when I looked at it, my heart felt astringent, and I suddenly felt a little disappointed.
Especially when I saw the most satisfying photo of Nai Minami:
The two people in yukata stood in front of the railing, their figures cuddling together warmly. Under the bright fireworks above their heads, their hair, faces, and smiling faces were all reflected in dazzling star red.
When she saw this picture, she couldn't help it anymore and couldn't stand it any longer. She hugged Najing Nan directly, buried her head in her chest and rubbed her hard, taking advantage of her to express her closeness...
He was also trying to cover up his inexplicable strange emotions.
so envious!
For any neon girl, the images and attributes in the photo of summer night, yukata, lovers, and fireworks are the highest fantasy of love in youthful sensibility.
She had imagined similar scenes countless times...but each one seemed not as beautiful as the scene in this photo.
Unexpectedly, Nai Minami, a dark-hearted and coquettish otaku girl who is usually coquettish and silent, actually achieved one of her dreams without saying a word, and it was really with Nai Minami's favorite person.
People together, but such an excellent person...
I'm really envious...even a little jealous.
Najing Nan was also very keen. He seemed to have sensed something, and also realized that he had been a little too excited just now. He immediately restrained his overly exposed emotions without leaving any trace, and even his voice was slightly lowered.
Minatozaki Saka vented her emotions with hugs and hugs. She finally suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and sat up again. However, her thoughts about looking at the photos suddenly dissipated a lot. After looking at them for a while, she suddenly asked in a low voice.
Said: "Then Mina, you and him are already..."
"Hmm..." Nai Minami nodded slightly. Of course she knew what Minazaki Saka was asking.
Although it is not stated explicitly, the way of getting along and talking has changed... and they have already kissed.
It's just that she didn't go through the necessary steps to express it... she always felt like something was missing, which made her feel a little uneasy sometimes.
“What a great shot!”
Minatozaki Saka took another look at the photos on her phone and murmured to herself with emotion. Then she remembered something and her expression became more serious: "Although I congratulate you very much and I envy you...but I think this matter is still
It’s better to keep it a secret first, and don’t tell the company about it. Some members will definitely have opinions, and the photos should not be shown to other members...especially Tzuyu.”
…………
Leaving aside the whispers and secret calculations of the neon sisters Nai Minami and Minatozaki Saka, Chi Jingyuan is making final preparations for his upcoming return.
The trailer MV for the title song will be released on the 16th, the third version of the promotional photos will be released on the 17th, I will be interviewed and start a V LIVE broadcast, talk to fans for promotion, and a set process...
The effect is not obvious, and the response in hot searches and discussions among passers-by is average.
Huang Meiying is so popular, her ability to control hot searches is unmatched by anyone, even the Olympics is slightly inferior, and EXO is even further behind.
The popularity has not dropped at all from the 15th to now, and after the accident, she wrote two handwritten letters of apology to express her regrets, further fueling the popularity. Unfortunately, it has no effect except causing more scolding and calls to withdraw from the group.
The term #Tiffany's apology letter re-entered the trending search, suppressing the popularity of many male and female groups, including EXO, who are about to return.
I can only say that it is indeed Girls’ Generation...
Of course, as a fan of EXO, Ari is definitely paying attention to the whole process. The fan club is extremely looking forward to this comeback, especially the style of "Blood, Sweat and Tears".
With such a huge number of fans, XO's return to the reissued album still managed to gain some space, which is much better than those groups that have been shouting for a long time without any splash.
Just like this, time turned and arrived in the early morning of the 18th. Although the publicity effect did not meet expectations, EXO's reissue album "Blood, Sweat and Tears" was officially released.
