Peninsula Asteroid

Seeing that all the members pointed at Chi Jingyuan in unison without any need for discussion or even making eye contact, many people were a little surprised after seeing it.

"Is it Yuan?"

"...It should be me." For some reason, he suddenly felt like he was being pointed at. Chi Jingyuan, who had practiced for the shortest time, glanced around, blinked, smiled, nodded, and then raised his eyes. After some reflection, he said: "I joined the company the latest among the group. I think I joined the company at the end of January 2012..."

"End of January 2012? EXO debuted on April 8th, which means..." Kyuhyun reacted immediately, counted on his fingers, then stood up suddenly and pointed at him in disbelief: "You actually joined The company debuted in more than two months?"

"..."

Chi Jingyuan smiled, looking a little embarrassed, pursed his lips and nodded to confirm: "Absolutely."

He originally wanted to correct it and say, 'It's actually nearly three months,' but after thinking about it, there was no difference between the two, so he simply swallowed it.

"So short!"

"Wow..." All the Ellie present suddenly burst into exclamations.

A lot of information about the EXO members’ training period has been dug out by fans through various methods. Some ancient video materials can also be found on the official SM YouTube account and many fan sites, such as who and who joined when. News about SM, who you have a better relationship with, and even your test scores as a trainee are widely circulated.

Some of these news are true or false, some are specially disseminated by SM through channels for publicity or hype, some are revealed privately by company staff and trainees, and most of them are people who want to attract attention. And fabricated lies and stories.

True and false are mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish.

Among all the members, only Ji Jingyuan’s trainee experience and some related time are very vague. There is not much information about what happened before and after he joined SM, what channels he used, why he joined SM, etc., and even the images from his trainee period are unknown. The information is very sparse and can't be found at all.

Under the company's active cover-up, many fans only knew that he debuted after practicing for a short time. However, although some specific experiences have been circulated, they are mostly rumors, and none of them are accurate or credible. .

But this time he said it from his own mouth, which really surprised many people.

"Debuted in two months..."

Lin Nalian savored the practice time, smacked her lips, and felt that the thoughts in her heart suddenly became bitter and complicated. After thinking about it again, this entanglement became even more complicated.

At this time, EXO's third anniversary live broadcast has been going on for an hour and a half. Trainees from the poor group like Lin Nayeon didn't have that much time to watch it all. After watching it for a while, they started practicing again and practiced for an hour. Afterwards, it was time for rest again, but at this moment, the only ones who continued to watch the live broadcast were the four or five of them who were still in the practice room, and the others had already gone to do other things.

"According to the general group debut process, a large boy group project like EXO should have selected the candidates for the debut group a long time ago and started practicing the debut song and filming the trailer."

Yu Dingyan added with great experience: "Looking at this time, maybe EXO and their MVs have already finished shooting. It seems that Chi Jingyuan really parachuted into it. The trainees have never done anything in a day. Just go in." Debut group.”

"It really is……"

Lin Nalian nodded in agreement, her expression a bit wonderful.

The two key words "debuted by air, 2 months" made these two female trainees, who had both experienced failed debuts, feel a little sour in their hearts at this time.

But when I saw EXO and Chi Jingyuan in their heyday again, I couldn't say anything mean, so I could only sigh secretly.

She sighed and looked up. Minami and Momo, who were diagonally across from each other, were very close to each other. They were looking at a mobile phone and were communicating in Japanese in a low voice that she couldn't understand. Zhou Ziyu, who was not far away, was talking. They lowered their heads and stared at the phone silently, very focused. At this moment, there were only five of them left in the practice room.

"So how exactly did Yuan join the company and XO..."

Kyuhyun deliberately prolonged the ending to create suspense, and then changed the topic: "I believe everyone is interested, but we will save this topic until the end, and let's talk about it later."

"Eh~~" A dissatisfied voice suddenly came from below, full of disgust.

Aili are indeed very interested. Whether they are fans of Chi Jingyuan or other groups, they really want to know about some of his experiences. After all, they have always been secretive before, and now they can finally hear the comparison. Real news broke.

"Let's first ask the XO members some sensitive topics, such as what they are like in life, what conflicts they have, and what they are most dissatisfied with about the roommates they live with. D.O.xi, what do you think about your roommates? What are you most dissatisfied with?"

Looking at the prompt board, Kyuhyun took the initiative to introduce the next topic, and watched Do Kyungsoo, who was silent throughout the whole process, take the initiative to ask questions.

"Are you dissatisfied with your roommates..."

This topic may be a bit sensitive, so Do Kyungsoo held up the microphone and hesitated for a while, then turned his head and glanced at the two roommates next to him: "I live in the same room as Sehun and Jing Yuan, and when it comes to dissatisfaction, Sehun's words , It should be that I used to like to step on the bed board of my upper bunk. Sometimes I was woken up by him when I fell asleep, and I couldn’t change it after saying it several times. It was really annoying..."

He frowned and stared at Wu Shixun for a long time, his murderous eyes were restrained under the other party's sneer, and then he looked at Chi Jingyuan again: "Jingyuan's words... He should have bought a big one specially. His bedside table was placed beside his bed, and it was filled with all kinds of animation toys and figurines that only children could play with. It’s not big, by the way, he’s so precious that we won’t let us touch it, for fear that we might damage it…”

"Hahaha..." All the Allies present burst out laughing. Chi Jingyuan's liking for anime and figurines has long been spread among fans, and now he heard the news that he did the same thing in the dormitory and caused a lot of trouble. The roommate's dissatisfaction immediately felt very interesting. I just felt that there was a strong sense of contrast on him, making the boy in suit and leather shoes on the stage seem to be shining at this moment.

Hearing this passage, Zhou Ziyu couldn't help but think of his experience in the EXO dormitory, and the image of himself sitting on Chi Jingyuan's bed and watching his bedside table full of hand-made figures appeared in front of his eyes.

I remember that there is a big white dragon in the middle, ready to fly, and there is a fat man next to it.

She remembered that when she said she wanted to touch those toys, Chi Jingyuan didn't refuse...

Inexplicably happy!

"So it's D.O. Shixun and Yuan live in the same dormitory? Then Yuan xi, do you have any dissatisfaction with your roommate?"

After the laughter below, Kyuhyun asked Chi Jingyuan again.

"Um……"

When Chi Jingyuan heard the question, he acted as if he was thinking about it. After thinking about it for a while, he glanced at Wu Shixun, nodded and said with a disgusted expression: "Shixun really has a very dissatisfied habit. The last time I slept very late, when we were about to fall asleep, he was still tossing and turning so loudly that people couldn't sleep, and he often called at night, always talking with mysterious people for a long time..."

"Jinjia? Really?"

When Kyuhyun heard it, he immediately looked at Wu Shixun in surprise: "Do you talk on the phone every night?"

As soon as the words came out, the fans below immediately booed with a 'yi~', staring at the stage curiously and worriedly.

This song is too easy to be misunderstood, even if Chi Jingyuan can be heard to be joking, it still inevitably reminds people of the aspect of 'love'.

"Inside." Wu Shixun nodded slowly in admission.

"Who is Shixun talking to?"

"yes……"

He opened his mouth and hesitated for a while, his expression was a little stiff as if he had just been fished out of the refrigerator, he pursed his mouth vigorously and replied: "It's with my dad and mom..."

"Hahaha……"

As soon as he came out with this answer, he was interrupted by Chi Jingyuan's uncontrollable laughter before he finished speaking. Before he could attack with his eyes, the other members couldn't help laughing, He patted his thigh vigorously, as if he had heard the funniest fable.

The atmosphere was broken, and he seemed to feel that his answer was a bit ridiculous, and he lowered his head and trembled.

"..." Kyuhyun had a strange expression, as if he wanted to laugh a few times, but because of the MC's professionalism, he finally held back, he brought up this misleading topic, and then asked: "So Yuan is most dissatisfied with D.O. What's the matter?"

"Ani, is there no brother D.O. He is a very good roommate and brother." Without even thinking about it, Chi Jingyuan shook his hand resolutely to express that he has no dissatisfaction, and picked him tacitly with Do Kyungsoo who looked over. Eyebrow, a look of 'I understand you'.

"Ah, what's wrong with me if you say that?" Wu Shixun couldn't bear it any longer, he yelled angrily and glared at him, frowning with displeasure on his face.

"Hahaha..." The surrounding members and Aili laughed again. The interaction of several people in this session really made them feel very interesting.

After asking a few more members the same question, we entered the final stage of today's live broadcast. On the monitor on the stage, several members went to school and some private photos of the trainee period appeared. Under Kyuhyun's initiative to ask questions, they Looking at the photos, they all talked about the reasons why they joined the company and the things that impressed them the most before and after their debut.

Several people talked in detail one by one, and finally it was Chi Jingyuan's turn.

"Wow, it's really a very handsome and atmospheric photo. This photo should be very famous. I remember it was on the top searches at the time."

Kyuhyun pointed to a photo of Chi Kyung Won that appeared on the screen and praised him with a smile, then asked him, "When is this photo of you?"

This photo is a snapshot of Chi Jingyuan wearing a blue suit and school uniform that was released in the VCR during the EXO concert tour last year, looking sideways at the camera in front of the school.

At that time, when the concert was released, it caused a lot of fans in the audience to exclaim. After it was posted on the Internet, it became a screenshot of countless Yuan fan screens for a long time. It also caused heated discussions on the Internet because it was so good. trending.

For example, Ming Jingnan felt amazing when he saw it at the concert. Later, he found resources and set this picture as the background of his mobile phone. It took a long time.

At this moment, she heard Chi Jingyuan's previous experience that she was most interested in, and she couldn't help cheering up, and stretched out her hand to tighten the earphones a little more.

"This should be in 2009 or 2010. I was photographed by my classmates when I was in school in LA." Chi Jingyuan tilted his head for a few glances, recalled it and said.

"Is it that impressive?"

"Ani, because this blue suit was the school uniform of the private high school I attended at that time, and I only attended high school for one year in LA, so I recognized it right away."

"Didn't you go back to the peninsula then?"

"I transferred to a high school in the peninsula after my first year of high school because of my family. After two years of schooling, I took the college entrance examination."

After some questions and answers, Kyuhyun asked a question that many Allies present had been waiting for a long time: "Just now we all know that Jing Yuan joined the company for two months before debuting, so how did you join SM at that time?"

Facing the hundreds of eyes staring at him below and the continuously operating camera lenses, Chi Jingyuan exhaled lightly and raised his eyes to reflect.

A few seconds later, Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips and said, "I have been interested in singing, dancing, and music including Kpop since I was a child, so my parents invited a professional teacher to come to my house a long time ago. He gave me lessons and laid a lot of foundations in this area, and it was also because of this that I successfully joined the company and made my debut."

"If you're so interested, didn't you think about becoming a trainee in the past?" Kyuhyun followed up and asked.

"I have thought about it, but I, my parents, rejected me a few times. At home, I have a relatively obedient character." Chi Jingyuan spread his hands with a wry smile, and continued amidst the snickers of the members. : "I mentioned it several times but didn't agree. I waited until I graduated from high school and took the college entrance examination, and after I was confirmed to be admitted to the university..."

"If I remember correctly, Kyung Won is currently a student at Yonsei University?" Kyuhyun interrupted him

"Inside."

"Oh~~" In fact, the Aries have known this news for a long time, but there is still a sound of exclamation and admiration from below at the right time.

This degree is really considered top-notch among idols, not just idols.

Chi Jingyuan smiled naturally, and continued: "After I was confirmed to be admitted to the university, I remember that at dinner, I casually mentioned that I wanted to try to debut as a trainee, but my parents agreed directly. gone."

"Just agree? Why?"

"Maybe it's because I was admitted to university. I didn't ask carefully. After all, I didn't have time to think about it at the time." Chi Jingyuan pouted with a smile, glanced at the camera with a flashing red light, and made a recalling expression: "Later, my brother started to help me contact companies. At that time, I successfully contacted SM, JYP and YG for auditions."

"Jinjia? Did you contact these three companies directly?" Kyuhyun looked surprised, and looked at Chi Jingyuan with something wrong.

The three major names in the music industry are well-known. Ordinary people who want to join these three as trainees have to go through difficult selection competitions to get a chance.

"Maybe he has some acquaintances in this regard."

Chi Jingyuan smiled and didn't explain too much, and then talked about the subsequent development: "At that time, I came in order. I thought that I would try SM first, and if it didn't work, I would go to JYP. The result..."

"As a result, after the interview, Teacher Li Xiuman was directly admitted on the spot?"

"Nai, when we arrived at SM, after chatting for a few words, Teacher Li Xiuman decided to let me in, so I didn't go to JYP again."

Nodding his head, Chi Kyung-won laughed, looking at his expression with some regrets: "After debuting, I met Park Zhenying PD nim at an event, and he also knew about this back then, so he blamed me for clearly agreeing to go to the audition In the end, I didn’t go, and said that if I went, he would definitely let me join the company 100%... jinjia, I really almost joined JYP at the beginning, but now that I think about it, I still look forward to it.”

"Hajima..."

Hearing his words, there was a burst of exclamation, and the fans yelled out in fear.

If Ji Jingyuan had not passed SM and joined JYP, many fans would not be able to imagine what EXO would look like today.

"Ah, it turns out that Chi Jingyuan almost practiced with our company." After hearing this, Lin Nayen smacked her lips inexplicably with emotion, and looked at Yu Dingyan, as if imagining if several people were the same What should the company look like.

On the other hand, Zhou Ziyu, who was sitting on the floor with his legs bent and watching with his mobile phone, let out a soft sigh, as if he was a little surprised by the news.

It's just that soon, just like the Ailis, a trace of fear emerged in her heart. It wasn't because she was worried about EXO, but because if Chi Jingyuan joined JYP, she wouldn't meet Chi Jingyuan in front of the company building that day. Then they If you don't know each other, you won't know each other, and even if you know each other, it's very likely that you won't have the relatively close relationship you have now.

Seeing Chi Jingyuan who continued to talk on the screen, she didn't know what to think of and fell into thinking, and her pupils slowly lost focus.

"At that time, XO's staff had almost been selected, and even the MV set-up had been completed and filming was about to begin."

After waving to appease the excited fans, Chi Jingyuan switched the microphone from his left hand to his right, glanced at the eight remaining members around him, and blinked with a trace of reminiscence and emotion: "But for some reasons After careful consideration and discussion at a meeting, Teacher Li Xiuman and the company decided to let me join in at the last moment... until today."

Although what Chi Jingyuan said was half true and false, his words still reminded the other members of the scenes when they had just joined the company and got to know each other. Seeing the current situation and changes, they all felt a little sad and sad for a moment. Feeling.

"It's really Dafa! It turns out that XO had so many wonderful stories before and after their debut. The members of the group were not finally confirmed until the final MV shooting started, and Yuan actually almost left for another company."

Kyuhyun's expression was more real this time. Even he didn't know some of the secrets Ji Kyungyuan revealed just now, let alone the fans below.

"I can only say that I am worthy of being Teacher Lee Soo Man." In the end, he sighed sincerely to the camera and concluded: "The decision to add Yuan to EXO as the maknae and last person at the last moment is really bold."

"But today's facts prove that this decision was correct and wise. It has supplemented some of XO's shortcomings and enriched many unique features."

"The same goes for the selection and decision-making of all other members. It can only be said that if any one person is missing or any member is replaced, there will be no EXO today."

"Kangsangmita."
