Peninsula Asteroid

"What's wrong?"

"Why is it so loud all of a sudden?"

After the preview of "monter" ended, the screams that erupted passed through the wall and reached the lounge backstage, which immediately aroused the surprise of many idols. They reflexively covered their ears and looked ahead in surprise.

They didn't look at the monitor just now and didn't know what was happening in front of them.

Even though they knew it was EXO performing, the sound outside had been very loud and noisy since they came on stage before, but now the sound suddenly went up a notch. Why?

"I asked you not to watch the live broadcast just now..." On Gfriend's side, maknae Jin Yiyuan sat up from the stool and looked around not knowing what was going on. Finally, Zheng Yilin looked at her in confusion and pointed to the big building not far away. Screen: "EXO's comeback trailer was just played on the big screen."

"Play the comeback trailer directly here? On the stage?" Zheng Yilin opened her mouth in surprise, obviously in disbelief.

This is a platter concert, not a one-person concert. Can you still play a comeback trailer VCR here?

"Who told me it was EXO?" Captain Jin Shaoqing interjected, looking away from the monitor and shrugging.

"It's just a preview, the movement is too big..." Zheng Yilin clicked her tongue. Feeling that the response was so big, she became a little curious. She got up and walked over, standing next to the members and looking at the monitor: "How about the preview?"

"Transformed, dark style, super strong." Ding Enfei, who had been watching the live broadcast without stopping, immediately replied to her: "Anyway, the trailer looks very handsome."

"Of course you say so because you are a fan of..."

"Really, if you don't believe me, just ask Yiyuan."

"Um?"

"He's very handsome. It's a pity that Onii-chan didn't see him."

"..."

On the other side of the lounge, Son Seung-wan, the red velvet singer, had already started singing. She imitated Chi Kyung-won’s voice and singing style, and winked at Bae Zhuhyun who was holding back her laughter:

"You can call me monster!!"

…………

"Ahhhh..."

At this time, the venue outside was already filled with people and screams were everywhere. The fans at the scene couldn't hold back this sudden surprise and kept shouting.

Jin Junmyeon picked up the microphone two or three times and tried to say something but couldn't find a chance to do so. Baekhyun and the others next to him also screamed "Oooh" into the tip of the microphone twice before they could cover it up. It made the surrounding sounds a little quieter and found some gaps.

"Let's say hello first." With Jin Junmian raising his voice into the microphone, the nine members of EXO saluted the audience together: "Anihasay, we are EXO..."

"First of all, it's really an honor to stand on the stage of my dream concert again after a year. It's great to be able to enjoy the stage with so many people today."

First, he made a habitual opening, and then Jin Junmian smiled and let it go, "What's more important is... guilt? Does everyone know it?"

Screams suddenly sounded from the audience, and sounds like "Gui" and "Comeback" could be vaguely heard from the middle.

"Well, that means we are coming back soon, with the double hits of "missing you" and "Monster". Everyone has seen the trailer just now... We have really prepared carefully, and we will once again present music and albums after a year. I’m actually a little nervous to meet everyone now. I hope I can satisfy everyone and make this year a year without any regrets.”

As he spoke, Jin Junmian suddenly laughed and looked at Chi Jingyuan next to him: "The concept this time is a bit strong, which has not been seen anywhere before... Speaking of which, one of the two title songs is still It was composed by Yuan Xi, which one do you think it is?"

Chi Jingyuan glanced at him, listened to the restless voice below, smiled, said nothing, but made a scissor hand gesture in a cute way.

"Ahhhh..."

No one guessed, there were only screams like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. The scene at this time was really too hot.

"Which song is it? Yes, yes, yes..." Jin Junmian hesitated for a long time amid the expectations of many fans below, but finally he feinted with a smile: "Everyone will know by then."

"An Zhenyou!"

"Ahh~"

"Hahaha, we will definitely repay everyone with a better stage. I am really excited to be with so many seniors and juniors. There will be another stage next, "Boy with Luv"!"

We can't say too much about the introduction and creating gimmicks, and some suspense still needs to be left. After Kim Junmyeon aroused the fans' interest in a few words, he stopped talking very annoyingly and started the next stage directly.

Amidst the sounds of complaints and cheers, everyone quickly stood up and the music of "boy with luv" sounded. When Chi Jingyuan stood in the middle and made the iconic opening turn-around part in the warm atmosphere, His face couldn't hold it in any longer and he burst out laughing.

The other members are also in very good condition, and the smiles on their faces almost never break.

This feeling of being surrounded by the screams and cheers of many people, and having countless enthusiasm and support filling every corner of my body is really exciting.

It's just that obviously the shock and expectation brought to the audience and fans by the trailer of the new album and the makeup photos just now have not been relieved. Even though "boy with luv" is a hit song, many people are still thinking about it and did not watch the stage seriously. Instead, he kept talking about the trailer just now.

After all, "Boy with Luv" is an old song that is popular now, and "Missing You" and "Monster" are their favorites now.

The fans couldn't control their fervent emotions at all, and there were raging flames everywhere that were ready to go. At the end of EXO's stage, all the artists took the stage and filled the entire main stage and sub-stage. When they started to sing the closing song and thanked the audience, in front of so many groups of artists, Ally who was present actually started to sing loudly in unison. Calling EXO’s team name.

"XO!"XO!"

"XO!"XO!"

They kept shouting for dozens of seconds until they were out of breath and finally stopped after a cheer. Chi Jingyuan and several members found a place on the edge of the sub-stage and kept waving downwards, although they were very sad in their hearts. I was touched, but actually a little embarrassed.

After all, there were a lot of people around. In front of them was IOI, and behind them was Gfriend. Not far away, a few people from red velvet were standing in a row, smiling and waving to the audience.

Going to this station, he always had the feeling that the sight around him would drift towards him from time to time.

EXO has attracted a lot of attention today, and Aili's enthusiasm is really too hot.

…………

This year's Dream Concert itself was broadcast on all platforms, and with the large number of participating artists, it attracted a lot of attention from the outside world. As soon as EXO's trailer came out, the fan base and online discussions exploded, and it took less than two minutes after the concert ended. Several related terms quickly became hot searches, and the bright red font made people unable to help but click on them.

And not only the local website of the peninsula, but also the mainland of Xia, several terms such as # EXO preview and # Dream Concert were on the top of the hot searches for scarves, causing a wide range of discussions. .

"Ahhhhh, I'm so excited! The preview will be released at the Dream Concert. Am I just dreaming?"

"Although the trailer is very short, it is really exciting. The previous song "Missing You" can be seen to be a ballad. The melody of the only line is very nice, but there is no obvious breakthrough in the concept and production. Overall, it is quite expected. . But the trailer for "Monster" at the back really surprised me. The dark style makeup photos were really impactful, and the repetitive electronic music sounded a bit weird and poignant, really. It's very high-end, especially Yuan's phrase 'You can call me monster!' at the end. It's so touching. Just by looking at this trailer, EXO's transformation has been successful. Now I'm just waiting for the full album to come out. Anyway, I I’m very much looking forward to it.”

"Coming from the reputation, is there a higher-definition video source? Why do you have to watch the trailer from a big screen on a stage...but it's really pretty good."

"Because the official trailer hasn't been released yet, it was just played in advance during the concert, which was a complete surprise for all fans."

“I love this style so much, I bought ten new ones and have already placed the order (screenshot)”

"You can call me monster!!"

Amidst the heated discussion on the Internet, just after midnight, SM Company obediently released the official trailer. Many fans burst out with unimaginable enthusiasm. They watched the trailer, which lasted less than ten seconds, over and over again. Within a few hours, the number of views had exceeded that of some groups’ title song MVs.

The company also issued an announcement at noon the next day, announcing that the pre-sale volume of EXO's third regular album "EX'ACT" has reached 1.3 million copies. This record-breaking pre-sale figure has caused a stir in the industry. There was a commotion.

Even though you know that EXO's album sales figures are indeed measured in millions, is it a bit excessive for you to just pre-sell so many albums?

In fact, after the Dream Concert yesterday and the first wave of trailers released today, many places have received a large number of new orders. Obviously, these two trailers made fans very satisfied and directly raised a lot of expectations. There has been a significant increase in sales volume, but SM did not fully calculate it for a while and did not include it.

…………

During recess in Qingtan Middle School, two girls in school uniforms were gathering together, secretly reading comments on a mobile phone, and discussing excitedly:

"Did you watch it too?"

"Of course! The trailer for the third series went viral as soon as it came out. The battle-damaged makeup is so cool! I decided to buy ten cars of posters to cover the entire wall of my bedroom!"

Cui Youzhen, who has straight bangs and bob hair, expressed her ambitions very excitedly, with a very expectant smile on her face. She seemed to have imagined the happy scene of herself surrounded by posters of Obamas.

"Yes!" Jin Zhiyun, who had pigtails tied next to him, nodded in agreement and chirped: "I heard that as soon as the trailer for the Dream Concert came out last night, many people in the fan base went crazy. Everyone is discussing the styles and makeup of the Obamas this time, and everyone is particularly satisfied and amazed by the dark style this time. It feels like the response was similar to when the trailer of "Roar" came out."

"You can call me monster!!"

As she said that, she seemed to cover a verse by Chi Jingyuan in the trailer, and made an exaggerated circle with her hand: "This sentence is really cool... I have also seen many Ernies sing again. I’ve pre-ordered a lot of albums, and the pre-order sales increased a lot in one night.”

"I also want to buy a few more, but it seems that the single cover of Yuan Oppa is no longer available, and I can't buy it." Cui Youzhen sighed, and there was sadness in her eyes that was not for her age.

"Of course, Oppa's single covers are the best-selling, and they have been hard to buy for a long time." Jin Zhiyun first responded in a matter-of-fact manner, then sighed, and began to curse the company out of habit: "SM these Idiot operators don’t know how to prepare more inventory for Yuan Opaba, don’t they know that Oppa’s fans have the strongest purchasing power?”

"But actually it can't all be Yuan Oppa's, otherwise no one will buy other Oppa's covers, which is not good for Tuanhun."

"Too!"

The two girls looked at each other understandingly and barely forgave SM in this minute.

With that said, Cui Youzhen looked at the EXO concept photo quoted by a marketing account on her phone, and licked her lower lips in great anticipation: "Speaking of the fact that the makeup for this comeback is so beautiful, Oppa will definitely release a few god-level photos, right? No. Know if I can draw it.”

"Definitely. The makeup look this time is really cool. I have ordered five photos. I hope I can see them."

"Which version of the album did you buy?"

"Of course it's the dark version. The bright version is also very handsome... but the dark style cover is the most stunning. The battle-damaged makeup, Kpop has the most handsome makeup, right?"

This time, EXO's regular third album is still produced in Korean and Chinese bilingual versions as usual. In addition to individual covers for each member, different covers and pictorials were also shot based on the different styles of the two title songs. According to the cover, it is also divided into two versions for sale, namely the dark version and the clear version.

"Of course, anyway, the shock and surprise that this trailer and concept gave me was something I only experienced when I was roaring in 2013. Although the songs in the second album last year were very nice, the concept and style didn't feel as good as this time. Handsome..."

As he spoke, Jin Zhiyun couldn't hold back his enthusiasm. He leaned down on the table, slapped the table twice, stamped his feet and howled: "Ah ah ah, we won't be back until the 9th, and there will be a showcase on the 8th. There are still three days. Oh, it’s so hard to wait!”

"Let's see if SM will release any more materials in the next two days. I don't know if there will be a follow-up reprint of the third volume..." Cui Youzhen was also a little anxious, but as she spoke, she seemed to think of something and picked up her phone. So I started to check: "By the way, the Obamas are coming back on the 9th, let me see which competitors have released songs recently..."

She tapped on the screen a few times, looked at the search results that appeared, and began to mutter to herself: "The EXID of the first regular album released on the 1st? It's okay, the EXID has been blurred, Hani is the only one who is somewhat popular, and several other members are It’s nobody cares. The two songs they released last year have the same tune as "Shang Xia". They are just deceiving people and they deserve to flop..."

"Luna debuted as a solo artist at the end of May? She is more confused and still nobody cares..."

"There is also DIA who will return on the same day on the 9th. Which group dares to compete with us? I have never heard of it." Cui Youzhen searched for a long time but couldn't find a few decent opponents. She raised her head and said: "Why do you feel that none of them can fight? Yes."

"You don't know." Jin Jiyun looked at her and blinked: "There were several groups that announced their comeback in early June, such as sistar WG, but after SM announced the return date of EXO in May, several groups initially It was said that all the groups that came back in early June have postponed their schedules, haha, when they heard XO’s name, they were all scared away!”

Her tone was extremely proud, with a look of pride on her face: "They know each other well enough to know who will hit and who will die in the Wuli Tiantuan."

As she said that, she added a special sentence at the end: "I also heard Ernie say that Gfriend is the same... I don't know if it's true or not, but I think it's true! Anyway, it's all true!"

The peninsula market is so big, and the combination of itself and big companies to avoid the return date is a secret for the survival of idols from small companies. Especially after the six months of last year when EXO and Big Bang were competing for supremacy, we saw the competition between the boss and the second. After the grand occasion where all the groups had no popularity at all, based on experience, few agencies are willing to return on the same day as EXO this year. Even if it is still the same period, delaying or moving it forward a week or two will still be effective.

"But I really want to collide with Twice." Cui Youzhen thought of some unpleasant things last month, and her face became a little ugly: "They clearly lost the song competition some time ago, but they can still be so arrogant."

Jin Zhiyun patted her magnanimously: "Forget it, "Cheer Up" is still Jingyuan Oppa's song. For Jingyuan Oppa's sake, I will forgive them."

The two looked at each other with a smile again, temporarily forgiving Twice for a minute.

"Hurry up to No. 9!"

…………

"Is the injury serious?"

"It's a little bit. The doctor said I need to rest for a while, about a month...it's not particularly serious, but it does hurt a little bit."

"Let this kind of injury be examined carefully... By the way, I know a professor who is very good in this field. If you need it, I can introduce him to you."

"Thank you Oppa."

In the lounge backstage of the Olympic Hall in Seoul Olympic Park, Chi Kyung-won is leaning on the back of the sofa.

Today is June 8th, which is also the day before EXO’s official comeback. The day before their comeback showcase is held. At this time, the door of the lounge is wide open, and it is very busy with people coming and going. Some of the other members nearby are arranging in front of the mirror. Some were wearing makeup and taking advantage of this last moment to dance and move their bodies, while he was waiting a little boredly to appear while sending text messages with Yu Dingyan.

Something happened to Yoo Jung-yeon in the past two days. A few days ago, JYP gave her a job in the outdoor variety show "Kim Byung-man's Law of the Jungle." She went to New Caledonia in Oceania with the show crew for the filming.

It turned out that within two days of filming, while recording a horse riding show, the horse riding by the guest next to me suddenly went crazy and kicked him. He kicked him in the leg several times.

I heard that he was kicked so hard that he hit his bones and could no longer walk. After the local inspection, the recording of this program was stopped and he was sent back to Seoul overnight. The inspection seemed to be quite serious and he would be absent for more than a month. month’s activities.

Leg injuries, especially bone injuries, are very serious for idols. Chi Jingyuan has been injured several times before, but he has been thoroughly examined every time and has recovered well.

However, if it is not done well, it will often relapse. Kim Jong-in in the team is one of them. His ankle injury healed, and the injury cycled back and forth... After Chi Jingyuan heard the news, he directly sent a text message to greet him, After all, Yu Dingyan is also one of the people he is most familiar with in twice.

On the other side, in Twice's dormitory, Yu Dingyan, who had moved back to the dormitory from the hospital, was lying on his bed with a smile on his face, holding his mobile phone and looking in a good mood. And the good eldest sister Lin Nalian was sitting next to her, wearing a pair of slippers and a pink hairband on her head, peeling oranges for Yu Dingyan very loyally.

While she was peeling, she saw Yu Dingyan's movements and poked her head towards her phone: "What did he say to you?"

"Oppa Jingyuan asked me if my injury was serious, and he also said that he could introduce a good professor for me to check..."

Lin Nalian curled her lips when she heard this. When she heard someone's name, she habitually began to question: "Just talking..."

"Sent it." She was interrupted just as she started to speak. Yu Dingyan looked at the newly sent text message on his phone and started to believe: "'Seoul Samsung Hospital...Professor Bae Xianzhe...I want to say hello to him, you Just go directly'"

"Um..." Lin Nalian, who had just made a vicious slander, immediately felt a little red in the face. She glanced at her phone and then at Yu Dingyan, who looked obviously moved. She opened and closed her mouth and said in a low voice: "So Okay?"

"Oppa Jingyuan has always been very good." Yu Dingyan smiled, glanced at the eldest sister with a strange expression, lowered his head while typing, and said matter-of-factly: "I met him once by chance with Ernie. We didn’t even talk to each other much. Later, every time he saw me, he would take the initiative to say hello and say “Come on, come on.” He was still a trainee at the time... I, Ernie, felt the same way."

Seeing that her good sister seemed to have a tendency to rebel, Lin Nalian blinked her eyes after listening to what she said. After a brief thought, her eyes seemed to be shining with approval, but just now, she didn't know what she thought of. Suddenly he shook his head violently, as hard as a rattle. His hair was tossed back and forth several times, and the flesh on his face was shaken.

After shaking her head twice, she seemed to have convinced herself to confirm her position, with a firm look in her eyes. Then suddenly I felt itching on my face, and then I realized that when I shook my head hard just now, my hair had been all messed up by myself. At this time, it was messy and spread over my face, covering my facial features, and I looked like a female ghost. Same.

She quickly put down the orange in her hand, lowered her head and quickly combed her hair with her hands. Then she looked at Yu Dingyan who started typing on the screen again. While stroking her bangs, she poked her head over again: "What are you talking about again?"

"XO will be back tomorrow. I wish Jingyuan and Oppa a smooth return. By the way, I would like to praise the trailer and concept photos of the new album... The response to XO's trailer and promotional photos is really amazing. The Internet has been so popular these days. Not all their fans are talking about it... but it’s really handsome, and I quite like their transformation style this time.”

Lin Nalian retracted her head and fiddled with her bangs again without commenting. After a few seconds, she muttered twice, lowered her head again, and spoke reluctantly as her face was blocked by her hair:

"He's a little handsome..."

…

On the other side, the agent walked into the lounge and clapped his hands vigorously: "Okay, let's do one last check and get ready to play!"

After hearing this, Chi Jingyuan put his cell phone into his bag, stood up, stretched out comfortably, and moved his body. After a final check in the mirror, he followed the large group and walked out.

Finally coming back again...
