Peninsula Asteroid

After the members took a day off, everyone's spirits were much better. After the holiday, they returned to the company to start the final preparations before their debut.

On March 31, SM released the promotional video for their debut song "MAMA", and held the "EXO Debut Showcase" at the Olympic Hall in Seoul Olympic Park on the Peninsula. 3,000 applicants were selected from 10,000 applicants Fans participated, all members of EXO appeared on stage, and the host was Leeteuk, the captain of SJ.

3,000 people is already a lot. Many second- and third-tier idol groups in the peninsula may not be able to have so many people come to their concerts. It is enough to prove that the company's early promotion of EXO was really successful. A boy group that has not yet debuted already has a lot of fans.

Of course, as SM's new generation boy group, it has its own traffic, which attracts the attention of the people on the peninsula.

When Chi Jingyuan stood on the stage, he who had always been calm was really a little excited, his heart was beating very fast.

The dense audience below sat together, and when he appeared on stage, the cheers were deafening, reaching the peak since the opening, almost the entire hall was echoing the name of 'Yuan'.

From SM's internal statistics and material distribution, about half of the audience here are his fans. The rest are generally group fans or fans of other members.

The entire Showcase lasted about an hour. First, they performed the prelude song "Hisrory", and then went to the group to sing a few songs, and then sat there for an interview. By the way, they watched the video. The process was very simple, but the response was quite good.

At least when Chi Jingyuan sang on stage and was interviewed, the voices from the audience were really loud. Even the singing from the speakers was drowned out by the screams.

The atmosphere was very enthusiastic throughout the whole process, which also gave great confidence to the members of the group and the company.

After the showcase ended, they didn't have any time to rest. They went directly to the airport and flew to Xiaguo by plane, because there was another show waiting for them the next day.

On April 1, they held the second "EXO Debut Showcase" in the lecture hall of the library of BJ University of International Business and Economics in Xiaguo.

This time the process was exactly the same as yesterday, and Chi Jingyuan clearly felt that the cheers they received in Xia Kingdom were much warmer than yesterday in China, and the name that was often screamed off the court was no longer him alone, M Several members of the team have quite a few fans, especially LUHAN, whose number of fans is already close to that of Chi Jingyuan in this showcase.

Generally speaking, the reverse of the two showcases is very good. Both the company's publicity department and planning department are very satisfied. EXO-M, which specializes in the Xiaguo market, has received a warm welcome, and the main promotion LUHAN is also very popular. Gao, some of the resources and advertisements invested in Xia Guo have been rewarded, and invitations to many programs have been pouring in.

The EXO-K team, which specializes in the local market, has also received a lot of attention, but the problem is also obvious.

At present, most of the attention of the entire EXO-K team is basically brought by Chi Jingyuan, and he also has the most fans, and the other 5 people combined are not as many as him. However, Jin Zhongren, the main promotion of the company, is far from meeting the company's expectations. He has a much higher exposure rate than others, but he has not received much attention. Source fan attack.

But these are all problems before debut, the real result will have to wait until EXO's official debut, after the title song "MAMA" is released, we will see how much help it can bring to the group.

No matter how much a group promotes, it will eventually return to the carrier of the song. Even if the personal charm is really strong, it still depends on the carrier to spread out its charm for the audience to feel.

Time passed quickly, and it was April 7th in a blink of an eye.

Tomorrow is the day of their debut, and the members don't have much time to practice today. A few people from EXO-K team are sitting in the practice room, chatting here and there.

Team EXO-M has already left ahead of schedule and took a plane to Xiaguo. They will officially debut at Xiaguo's annual music chart tomorrow, while team K will make their official debut at SBS Inkigayo at the same time.

A combination of two teams debuted at the same time, specializing in the markets of two countries. I have to say that this kind of initiative has really attracted a lot of attention for EXO, and so far, the effect of this team is also very good.

I have to say, because the debut is approaching, the atmosphere in the team is indeed much better, everyone's expectations are finally coming true, and even a few people who have always had conflicts can talk and joke together at this time.

Just like the NBA, as long as you can keep winning, no matter how big the conflict is, it can be eased.

After chatting with laughter and laughter, the captain Jin Junmian couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and clapped his hands and called everyone to continue practicing on the stage tomorrow, and everyone didn't say anything, just got up and continued practicing.

There was no practice in the evening. After dinner, they returned to the newly moved dormitory one by one.

Some time ago, they had moved out of the dormitory of the trainees and moved into a new dormitory. It was a large apartment in an apartment building in Cheongdam-dong near the company. There were five bedrooms in total. One is for a broker.

After reassignment, Ji Kyung Won, Do Kyung Soo, and Oh Se Hoon lived in one room, while Kim Jun Myeon moved in with Kim Jong In and Park Chan Yeol. At present, because the M team has gone to Xia Guo, the dormitory looks quite spacious.

"Go to bed early today, even if you suffer from insomnia, you must rest yourself. Tomorrow morning, I will go to a beauty salon, and then I will go to SBS to record a program." Manager Lee Seung-hyun talked about tomorrow's schedule, and finally clapped his hands and smiled and blessed: "Okay, I wish you all a smooth debut tomorrow, EXO is big!"

"EXO big hair!" Several members yelled, and then dispersed after thanking and saluting.

Others Chi Jingyuan didn't know, but he himself was really a little insomnia, lying on the bed with his eyes open and looking at the moon outside the window, his thoughts were chaotic.

Although he had the idea of ​​becoming an artist very early on, under the rejection of his family, he didn't realize it until some time ago. To be honest, he suddenly entered SM and joined a boy group, and he was not prepared enough.

But I still persisted and came to the eve of debut. During this period of time, he has indeed worked very hard, and he, who has always been pampered, managed to resist it with difficulty.

But this is all his own choice, and he is interested in what he does, and he enjoys it.

'Hope everything goes well'.

He looked at the moon outside the window and made a wish in his heart.
