"Essie, it's almost..."

Back in the waiting room, after the door was closed, Park Chanyeol changed his bright smile on the stage just now, slapped the table hard with a dark face, and said something very unhappy.

The faces of the members were also very ugly. A few of them sat there covering their faces as soon as they came in, looking depressed, and the atmosphere in the waiting room was very bad.

The same was true for Chi Jingyuan, who was sitting in a corner, rubbing his forehead with his hands, and his face was a little ugly.

They just came off the stage after recording for Music Center.

In this competition for No. 1 in Music Bank, they lost to Shinhwa, who came back almost a month ago, by less than 100 points.

Today is June 8th, their second week of playing songs, and it is also the closest time to a person. It is also the first time since EXO's debut that they stand in the first row when the final awards are presented on the playing stage.

This feeling of being watched by everyone and being stared at by the camera is really good, but the result is not satisfactory.

The day before yesterday's M!C stopped broadcasting and did not play songs, and yesterday's music center they did not enter a candidate. Today, they had met Shinhwa who had been playing songs for almost a month. EXO was quite confident at first, but they did not expect to fall short in the end.

"We are only in the second week, and there are still many opportunities, so don't be discouraged."

Jin Junmian pursed his lips and encouraged everyone.

In fact, he was the most disappointed of all. He almost couldn't control his expression on the stage just now.

"Brother Junmian, our music score has dropped a bit fast, and the best chance to get one is these two weeks, otherwise..."

Do Kyungsoo said something in a low voice, but stopped in the middle of speaking.

In fact, everyone knew this matter very well, and he didn't continue to talk about it under such an atmosphere.

"Everyone, don't be discouraged. There is still tomorrow's Inkigayo. If it doesn't work, there is hope for continuing to work hard next week."

"And our sales are very good, and we have an advantage when scoring."

The elder brother Kim Min-seok looked at the crowd and offered a word of comfort.

"Nai, I hope..."

…………

"Today's Inkigayo glory is... CL, Chuka Hamida!"

Seeing the MC cheering loudly while holding the trophy, the members of EXO stood behind and clapped their hands with smiles on their faces.

Even if you are very unhappy in your heart, you still have to do the expression.

After applauding a few times politely, the members walked off the stage and entered Houtian, the smiles on their faces gradually subsided, and they walked into the waiting room with a somewhat stiff pace.

The second week of comeback has officially ended, and they still haven't won the first number one.

The results of this comeback are already pretty good, both in terms of sales and music sources are very prominent among boy groups.

A singer, especially a singer from the three major TV stations, has a high gold content and is a symbol of the popularity of an artist.

The solo or group that has not won the first place is not a first-line or popular artist.

As for EXO, they are short of a song player to prove themselves, but they are always missing a little bit.

It's just that as the ranking of "Wolf" continues to decline on the music source list, the difficulty will be much higher.

…………

On June 13th, in the waiting room of M!C, the members were sitting in their seats, playing with their mobile phones, and in a daze, but few people made a sound, and they seemed to have no interest in chatting.

The sound source of "Wolf" has rebounded a bit in the past few days, and it has not kept falling. As of today, it ranks 37th in Melon, which is not bad among boy groups.

It's just entering the third week of playing songs, and they missed another one in yesterday's "show champion".

The members have been looking forward to it since last week, but they have not won the first place so far, and the recent comeback schedule is very busy, and they have to go to the company to practice at night, everyone is not in a good mood.

"Boom..."

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The voice attracted the attention of everyone in the room, and captain Jin Junmian responded immediately.

After the door opened, seven male idols in hip-hop costumes came in, stood in a row at the door, saluted EXO in the room, and greeted loudly: "Senior, Anihasai!" , the boy group BTS that we debuted today."

"Nai, Anisha, we are EXO."

Seeing someone coming to say hello, EXO members also stood up to say hello, Chi Jingyuan glanced at the new boy group after returning the greeting, and suddenly his eyes became fixed.

The same goes for Wu Shixun and the others next to him. They glanced at a member of BTS, then looked at each other with weird expressions, and then looked at Chi Jingyuan.

They spot a familiar face among each other's members.

The scene was quite awkward for a while.

"The stage of the seniors is really cool, this is our debut album, please accept it."

The captain of BTS is a boy with quite small eyes, and he looks quite joyful.

Listen to his self-introduction, the 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."

Kim Junmyeon and the other party exchanged albums, introduced each other, and left after a few pleasantries.

As soon as the door was closed, the members who were not interested in talking just now immediately became more chatty:

"Hey Yigu, I didn't expect to see him again. He actually joined another company and debuted. This is our competitor."

"Jinjia, I almost forgot about him, I didn't expect him to debut."

"After all, he is a trainee from our SM, and he has a good face. It is relatively easy to debut in a small company."

"Jing Yuan, how does it feel to see an old friend?"

"It feels good. I wish them a successful debut and smooth sailing." Chi Jingyuan smiled happily with his head tilted, and expressed his blessings in a sincere tone.

…………

"The second week of June, M! Countdown, Lee Hyori vs. EXO, who will be the owner of the 1st place trophy?"

"Please disclose the results!"

At this time M! On the stage of Countdown, MC Lee Joon and Tian Dong held the microphone and hosted with a smile.

On the right of them, EXO12 who is a substitute today stood in two rows.

They tried their best to manage their expressions and keep smiling, but they couldn't hide the anticipation and apprehension in some people's eyes.

Chi Jingyuan stood in the second row, pursed his lips slightly, and looked nervously at the monitor on the side of the stage.

This is the second stage of their third week of playing songs, and from this week onwards, the chances of getting a first place on each stage will become smaller and smaller.

In addition to the reason for the sound source, it also has a lot to do with the competition of several popular groups that will return next week.

Under the nervous gaze of everyone, the score began to be calculated on the display screen:

"Lee Hyori VS EXO."

"Audio source sales score..."

"Record Sales Score..."

"19-39 age group preference score..."

"Mnet show airing score..."

"Global Music Fan Vote Score..."

"Final total, Lee Hyori 6751, EXO 7259."

“One of the honorees in this installment is…”

"EXO, Chuka Hamida!"
