"Forehead……"

Before Chi Jingyuan finished speaking, he was interrupted by An Chengyuan who suddenly arrived. He then looked at the back of Kim Jongin who was stunned for a moment, then stood up and walked out. He turned back and looked at each other with Wu Shixun.

After spending several months together, they already know An Chengyuan, the new manager, very well. The expression on his face just now clearly indicated something bad, and Chi Jingyuan's confident words just now have not yet finished... It can't be so unlucky, right? ?

The other children from Red Velvet and NCT127 in the practice room were also stunned for a moment. After watching Kim Jong-in leave, they suddenly became strangely quiet. Some of them did not dare to speak. They waited for several seconds before whispering. Discussing something.

Several people from EXO were also very puzzled. They gathered together and asked each other in surprise:

"What's going on? What's wrong with Kai?"

"Looking at Seungwon-hyung's expression and tone, he probably did something and was photographed or caught." Do Kyung-soo touched his chin and said his guess... In fact, it is not difficult to guess, everyone also has it in their hearts. That's what I thought.

"I guess so...but what happened so suddenly?"

Park Chanyeol also echoed, and then immediately started to list and analyze it with great experience: "If Kai...having private contacts with fans? Taking yao? Falling in love?...it can't be a drunk driving, right?"

The more he talked, the more nonsense he said. Wu Shixun frowned and interrupted him: "He doesn't take yao, does he?"

Chi Jingyuan also glanced at this brother with a strange expression... As far as he knew, EXO's veterans were just having fun, but most of them weren't actually very wanton, and the one who had the most fun among them seemed to be …

"Kai doesn't touch it, look at what I do, I rarely touch it..."

As if he was a little upset by everyone's looks, Park Chanyeol quickly waved his hand and dismissed the topic: "Other more serious ones probably won't happen, otherwise Kai wouldn't have reacted just now... I guess he was just in love. He must have been photographed, he, tsk tsk..."

"I think so too……"

Seeing Chanyeol's determined analysis and disgusted expression, Chi Jingyuan and other members thought for a while and nodded, confirming this guess.

In this case, there is actually no such surprise and worry... Because after so many years since their debut, almost everyone in EXO has been photographed. Being photographed is not a very serious matter. If they encountered it in the past few years, the company would at most severely punish them. He scolded you, warned everyone except Chi Jingyuan sternly, and then stopped the news.

This kind of thing has happened many times over the years... Not to mention being photographed, there are still people who have been exposed.

After saying that Cao Cao Cao Cao had arrived, the last three CBX people arrived in the practice room within a few minutes. They looked tired and dusty. They still smiled and greeted everyone from time to time. They seemed not to be affected by the change of the rules of the golden record.

However, according to Chi Jingyuan's observation, these three brothers are not as happy as they appear...

The first unit of XO, which had high hopes, was not satisfactory after their debut. They were overwhelmed by the new girl group Twice, which debuted a year ago. Due to the time limit of releasing songs, they did not catch up with important events such as MMA and MAMA. Awards, they and their fans were counting on the golden record in a few days to support the occasion and face, but the rules were suddenly changed.

If you think about it from his perspective, Chi Jingyuan must be very unhappy.

"Everyone is almost here, let's start..."

Baekhyun and the others had just arrived and had not yet settled down, and before they had time to tell him about Kim Jong-in’s episode, the dance teacher walked in from outside and clapped his hands: “Time is limited, let’s start practicing first… Director An just told me No need to wait for Kai, we can just free up his position."

Under the command of the dance teacher, the young people from NCT immediately stood up and walked over quickly. They also stood in a relatively remote place, leaving the middle. Red Velvet followed closely behind. Only a group of veterans from EXO looked at each other and seemed to exchange glances before wandering over and standing next to Red Velvet as they should, occupying the C position.

...Speaking of which, apart from the SM Town Family Concert, this seems to be his first time with red velvet... Well, it feels a bit weird to collaborate on stage with Bae Joo Hyun.

Chi Jingyuan stood on the edge of the team and glanced at Ai Lin, who was standing upright with her chest raised next to her. He felt the faintly familiar orchid fragrance and sniffed it gently, then cheered up and listened carefully to the teacher's instructions.

This time the stage was mentioned by Ahn Seung-won before, the cooperation stage for the year-end SBS Gayo Daejeon... This year is the 20th anniversary of the SBS Gayo Daeon. The organizer SBS attaches great importance to it. In addition to the participation of many well-known artists, it also invites people from the music industry Several major brokerage companies each rehearse a special stage on a company-by-company basis.

As for SM's special stage, after a period of discussion by the company, the company decided to let EXO, red velvet and NCT127, who just debuted this year, collaborate together... For Chi Jingyuan and the others, it feels a bit like a baby.

The specific process is that NCT127 and red velvet took the stage one after another to cover a song by the company's seniors. Finally, EXO came on the stage. All three groups were divided into two teams, imitating the former EXO-K and EXO-M, and performed XO's debut song " MAMA》

...In order to make the stage effect more intense and beautiful, Yu Yongjin, who is in charge of the stage of this collaboration, also specially made a remix version of the accompaniment for "MAMA".

Soon the specific process was explained in the teacher's mouth, and everyone understood it.

Chi Jingyuan thinks this idea is quite good. Although he didn't like the song "MAMA" when he debuted, he always thought the choreography of the dance between the two KM teams in the chorus of the song was cool... This collaboration is mainly about the cover.

Moreover, the song "MAMA" has now become a classic, and it also has some meaning of killing memories.

...As long as the group becomes popular in the end, their debut song will often be regarded as a classic by fans, and it will automatically have some special meaning, just like "Reunion" was actually received well when it was first released as SNSD's debut song It's mediocre, but now it's almost becoming the second national anthem for girls.

Although EXO's "MAMA" is not as good as "Reunion", the melody brings back memories as soon as it is played, and many fans will burst into tears... Although many people may not remember that this song was released in 2012 What kind of scolding did you get when you were there?

The other two groups practiced their own songs on the first two cover stages. Today the three groups practiced the final "MAMA"

Fortunately, most of EXO's songs are now practiced by trainees from all companies, and even some debut idols are bound to practice them. Red Velvet and NCT are no exception. Everyone can dance the dance of "MAMA", so there is no need to learn it. , today is mainly about rehearsing the entrance process, as well as the movement and formation.

Under the direction of the teacher, everyone began to rehearse, and the entire practice room began to echo with songs and various shouts.

There were several times during which Pei Zhuhyun was standing right next to him. Although the young lady seemed to be dancing very seriously and there was no eye contact between the two of them, Chi Jingyuan occasionally glanced to the side casually.

Even if there is no communication, ex-boyfriends and girlfriends who have been dating stand together for practice, and the familiar yet unfamiliar feeling around them always makes people feel a little weird, and they can't help but look sideways.

Moreover, the white tight-fitting shirt she was wearing today... slightly showed off her figure. Even if she wore a sports coat outside, it was still eye-catching when she was next to her.

Miss Pei...is she so fierce?

Chi Jingyuan, who knew him best, always felt that something was wrong...

When everyone was halfway through practicing, there was a knock on the door of the practice room and Kim Jong-in came back.

Although he had obviously managed his expression, his expression was still a bit bad. However, facing the curious eyes of the XO members, he didn't say much. He just said hello to the teacher and walked into the practice room, then stood there. Stand by and watch others practice.

After watching for a while, Kim Jong-in took the initiative to join in. He stood in his position and started practicing together. There was no mistake at all, as if he had never been absent from the beginning to the end.

... This guy just has this talent. He doesn’t need to practice at all. He can do many dances and moves by himself just by looking at them.

…………

"what's the situation?"

"What happened? Did you hook up with Teacher Li Xiuman's daughter?"

"Teacher Li Xiuman doesn't seem to have a daughter... Even if she does, she must be forty years old."

"Hahaha... Yeah, don't interrupt, just listen to Kai!"

At the end of more than two hours of practice, several groups left one after another. Chi Jingyuan and Bae Zhuhyun said a few words, waved goodbye, and then hurried into the EXO crowd, curiously listening to the other members' comments. Kim Jong-in asked.

"oops……"

Kim Jong-in, who was already in a bad mood and was besieged by everyone, said in a very anxious tone: "It's just that... a photo of him and his girlfriend was taken, and it was reported to the company."

"Look, it's exactly what I thought!"

Upon hearing this, Park Chanyeol clapped his hands suddenly with a forward-looking expression on his face.

However, Jin Junmyeon was still a little confused: "It's just that this kind of photo was taken. It's not the first time... Brother Chengyuan isn't that angry, right?"

If it had been the first two years since they debuted, they would have been severely criticized if something like this happened. But now that it has been so long since his debut, the company has long been used to it, so he shouldn't have such a bad expression.

"Because... there's more than one."

Jin Jongren paused for a second, sighed, seemed a little frustrated and helpless, and said: "And..."

"more than one?"

"qingjia?"

Several members immediately screamed: "You're not going to be photographed riding on two boats, right? A live battle?"

If more than one is photographed, the situation becomes a bit serious.

"I'm not dating two at the same time. I only have one girl right now, the one I told you about last time. The others haven't had time yet..."

Jin Jongren waved his hand impatiently: "The main reason is that in addition to the photos of dating Huilin, there are also some photos of me and other girls eating or drinking coffee. I don't know why they were regarded as... I posted dating photos and the company found out, and it looked like I was dating several people at the same time..."

"Who cares if you are just friends or dating, eating or whatever, as long as you go out together in private, fans will get the wrong idea."

Bian Baekhyun said something very experienced, and then looked at Kim Jong-in with some disgust: "Who makes you think so much? Just go on a date with a female prostitute, and you meet different girls every day, and you are photographed It’s not normal to come down... With our current popularity, everyone is 100% followed by reporters.”

Chi Jingyuan said nothing, but nodded in agreement... He was really too careless.

Love scandals and photos of idols also have a time limit. It is best if the idols are in a relationship to be the most valuable. If they wait until the idols break up to break the news, it will not be so sensational at all.

If the company knows about it now, it must be photos that have been secretly photographed in the past few months.

"...Who is there?" Wu Shixun blinked and asked Chi Jingyuan's most wanted question.

Facing the interested gazes of other members, Kim Jong-in, who was too lazy to hide this kind of thing, took a breath and said casually: "In addition to Hyerin, there is also Nayong from IOI..."

"We knew this before."

“And AOA’s Minah.”

"Ah...I don't feel as good as Seolhyun..."

"Ah, is now the time to talk about this?"

"And Twice's...Sana~"

"You still here……"

"Sana?"

Hearing this name, Chi Jingyuan, who had been silent just now, suddenly spoke, interrupting Byun Baekhyun who was about to say something, and looked at Kim Jongin in surprise.

Damn it, didn’t you say there was no progress, but you were actually photographed?

"That happened a few months ago. When we first got acquainted, we happened to meet each other at an event and had a cup of coffee together."

Jin Zhongren glanced at Chi Jingyuan, leaned against the wall, shook his head, and said angrily: "Just that one time, I didn't know why I was photographed, and then she stopped going out when I asked her out... As a result, she was suddenly photographed The company knows."

His tone was a bit strange, his expression was very wronged, and he seemed to be a little regretful.

"oh……"

Chi Jingyuan blinked when he heard this and nodded with a clear look.

"Oh, don't ask about these gossips..." Jin Junmian was a little impatient and interrupted them to get to the point: "How was it handled specifically? Has the company suppressed it?"

"Most of it..."

Speaking of the most critical issue today, Kim Jong-in frowned and his expression changed: "I explained to the other two that they were just ordinary friends. The reporter who took the photo didn't seem to have any special thoughts. Brother Seung-won said that the company has worked hard PR is gone.”

"Sana's words... Representative Kim from the publicity department said that it seemed a little dangerous at first, but later he seemed to know that it was just a normal meeting and not a relationship, and even before we did anything, JYP was working very hard. We stopped him, so it’s nothing…”

"What about your real girlfriend?" Jin Junmian then asked.

Jin Zhongren paused for a moment, his expression a little ugly: "I can't suppress it anymore..."'

"What's the meaning?"

"I just can't suppress it anymore..."

Jin Zhongren, who was in a state of irritability, his voice became thicker and he suddenly became impatient: "It means to be exposed!"

"qingjia?"

"Want to expose?"

As soon as these words came out, all the surrounding EXO members shouted in surprise.

I don’t know how many private photos of each of them have been secretly photographed by reporters over the years. SM is willing to suppress anyone who comes, but this time it is actually going to be exposed?

After hearing this, several members seemed to panic suddenly. For idols, the exposure of their relationship will have a huge impact on their popularity and career... Although they have been in the industry for so long and have gone through ups and downs, they really have no experience of their relationships being exposed. .

Uh, it seems not...

Several members naturally looked at Byian Baekhyun, including Chi Jingyuan.

This guy has experience.

"Ah, what are you looking at me doing?"

Bian Baekhyun was immediately annoyed by these strange sights, and stared back. After turning Chi Jingyuan and others to glare, he looked at Kim Jong-in again, frowned and asked: "Why can't you suppress it?" Ah, there’s still news that the company can’t suppress?”

"Of course..." Jin Zhongren gave him a strange look.

SM is really as awesome as you say. Brother, you won’t be exposed in 2014.

However, he was not in the mood to dwell on this at this time, and just sighed helplessly: "I didn't say the specific reason, it's just that they don't accept public relations... From what Brother Chengyuan said, it seems that they are coming for me, or for us. of."

When he said this, he thought of the previous MMA, the golden record rule changes a few days ago, and all the subtle and subtle criticism around him, and others immediately understood.

The scene suddenly became a little quiet.

After a while, Jin Junmian sighed and asked, "Did you say when it will be exposed?"

"Probably next year." Kai just shook his head.

Wu Shixun seemed to have thought of something, and his pupils shrank: "Could it be that Zhongren, you are the New Year's couple that D Agency will expose next year, right?"

"If you say so..."

Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan also looked over in surprise... The couple who started the new year on January 1, 2014 shocked him a lot. He always thought that these things would only happen to seniors like him, which was very far away from him. Yuan, I didn’t expect that one day it would be their turn.

"..."

Jin Jongren glared at the two of them, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice without speaking. He didn't know whether it was acquiescence or whether he didn't know.

"It's good to give some preparation time. It's much better than suddenly being exposed and not having time to react..."

Seeing that the members beside him seemed a little frustrated, Park Chanyeol thought for a while and then stood up and started to help Kim Jong-in with ideas: "Expose it, expose it. If the other party doesn't have enough information, just don't admit it, or if there is really evidence, just expose it." A rather vague and reluctant admission, just like ZICO did before, their company's announcement and response seemed very reluctant and unwilling, directly turning Seolhyun into a counterfeit, Kai, you just follow their format... "

"...In this case, your fans' reaction will not be too intense, and all mistakes will be blamed on the woman. This will reduce the anger of many fans, and the impact on your own popularity and the group will be minimized."

"Wouldn't they break up immediately?" Wu Shixun interjected.

"Let's just break up. How long does it take for idols to be exposed?" Park Chanyeol looked indifferent and pouted at Kim Jong-in: "You see, Kai doesn't care..."

Everyone followed their eyes and looked... Kim Jong-in did not seem to care very much.

"Uh..." Wu Shixun was a little speechless and kept silent.

Chi Jingyuan didn't speak, but...he just frowned without missing a trace when he heard Park Canyeol's suggestion.

The conditioned reflex in his heart was to despise this approach, just like how he despised ZICO before. However, for the sake of his own popularity and career development, people made the choices and judgments that they thought were best, and it was not easy for him to comment. There is no better solution but to remain silent.

Just when he suddenly heard that the members' relationship was about to be exposed and they were discussing the aftermath, Chi Jingyuan suddenly became distracted and began to think...

What would he do if his relationship was about to be exposed?

If his relationship with Minami is about to be exposed now, and JYP admits the relationship...if SM adopts Park Chanyeol's opinion, they will directly deny it: "The two are just ordinary seniors." ’

Or they may be vague and evasive, labeling the other person as worthless and insincere.

... I don’t know what other people are thinking. Ming Jingnan’s words will probably break him into pieces.

His expression wrinkled, and Chi Jingyuan felt a little uncomfortable thinking about it.

Kim Jong-in didn't know...but with his character and pride, he would definitely not do such a thing.

While Park Chanyeol and Kim Jongin were discussing, Do Kyungsu, who was next to him, seemed to have remembered something and suddenly interjected: "I remember that Chanyeol-hyung also encountered this problem some time ago, right? At that time, he said he was stopped by the company. Come down...Looking at the current situation, there won't be any problems by then, right?"

"Forehead……"

Park Chanyeol, who was talking about something, paused for a moment, and then he wanted to say something reflexively... But just when he opened his mouth, he frowned and stopped talking.

Previously, he was photographed on a date and brought to the company. After being severely scolded, he got along fine and was stopped by the company.

But after what happened to Kim Jong-in and the recent slight change in the direction of the wind, he was a little unsure whether there would be any changes.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head and looked at each other with Jin Zhongren, their expressions were strange and they looked at each other speechlessly.

It turns out... after working on it for a long time, I gave you so many ideas. In the end, I might be able to use them myself?

well.

Feeling the subtle atmosphere around him, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but sigh.

The last second I was thinking that other companies' targeting would not affect EXO at all, unless they themselves had problems.

As a result, the situation became like this in the next second.

Others will not expose some real scandals that are exposed to the public. This does not follow industry rules and will also offend SM to death... But if you are determined to get one or two members, have a relationship or something, there is There was really nothing I could do at the time.

SM has actually anticipated this situation before, so it has previously determined that EXO's main experience from next year will be on overseas markets, focusing on neon, Europe and the United States.

But I didn't expect that before I could implement it, I would be targeted by those who had been suppressing it for a long time and couldn't wait.

In fact, it doesn't matter if only Kim Jong-in is exposed. After all, it is just an isolated case. His fans may be very sad, but the impact on the group will not be great.

Although Kai is the main C of the team, he is really not very popular in the team.

...even far inferior to Baekhyun, who has exposed his relationship.

But if Park Chanyeol is also exposed, there will really be a big problem... Once this guy is exposed, it means that other people may have problems one after another.

Could it be the same as Girls' Generation in 2014...

Chi Jingyuan's heart sank.

At that time, he happily watched the excitement for half a year, especially the episode of "Golden Fishing Ground" recorded by several sisters when he was a teenager. He laughed to death. He watched it over and over again, joking about the advent and embarrassment of the age of love.

As a result, after a few years, they actually showed signs of repeating the mistakes of their predecessors?

He looked out the window with some worry. The low sky suddenly put a heavy pressure on people. The deep darkness even surpassed an old acquaintance who was having a bad temper.

It's just the other members...he won't have any problems himself.

...The situation is not good.
