Peninsula Asteroid

The opening instrumental ensemble, modern dance, street dance and the final group dance were really exciting. They were all popular idols such as EXO, Shinee, Twice, Blackpink, Red Velvet, and GOT7. The opening showed that this year's 20th anniversary music festival was different from previous years. The enthusiasm of the audience was directly aroused, and the atmosphere was already very lively at the beginning.

Just from this opening, it was very successful. Even Chi Jingyuan, who was used to watching idol performances, found his favorite highlights in it.

After the opening performance, the three MCs of today's music festival also walked out of the LED screen door side by side and stood in the middle of the stage.

"2016 SAF Song Festival with the most fragile producer in the Peninsula, Kpop, A to Z, Aniha Saiyo, I am MC Yoo Hee-yeol."

"Ne Aniha Saiyo, Yuri Mida~"

"Hello everyone, I am XO's Baekhyun."

As several people introduced themselves, the audience cheered and applauded loudly. It might be the name of the Song Festival that made people look forward to it. At the same time, the opening dance made people excited. The atmosphere was very warm, and it made Chi Jingyuan's eardrums a little deaf.

Just hearing their self-introductions, Chi Jingyuan applauded on the surface, but he was a little amused in his heart... Baekhyun's self-introduction was prefixed with EXO, but Quan Yuri directly said that she was Yuri.

You know, even Yoona senior now introduces herself as "Girls' Generation Yoona" no matter what occasion.

Tsk tsk, isn't the difference in team spirit revealed?

The three hosts of the Song Festival are Yoo Hee-yeol, Kwon Yuri and EXO's Byun Baekhyun. A veteran MC with two idols, this pairing is a better match than the two in previous years. The three of them stood in the middle of the stage and coordinated well.

...It was just that Kwon Yuri wore high heels, and the three hosts looked almost the same height, which was a bit awkward.

Today's 20th anniversary of the Song Festival has two main highlights. One is the collaborative stage organized by several well-known producers such as Yoon Jong-shin, SM's Yu Yongzhen, YG's Teddy, JYP's Park Jin-young, etc., which is the one that EXO, NCT and Red Velvet practiced together before.

Secondly, the number of idol groups participating in the show is the largest in history. Many new boy and girl groups that debuted in the past year appeared in the program list.

"What kind of surprises have been prepared for the first stage that everyone is looking forward to?"

"The new generation of Kpop idols who appear like comets, Music, Start!"

After a long list of announcements by the three hosts, the official performance session finally began... After the three MCs left the stage, they did not leave, but walked to the artist seats and sat down next to EXO.

Ji Jingyuan smiled and waved to Quan Yuri and Bian Baekhyun before he perked up and looked at the stage.

Just watching, his expression was a little strange.

"Why are they all NCT?" He couldn't help but complain to the people next to him.

At first it was NCT Dream, then NCT U. When Ji Jingyuan was a little tired of watching, NCT 127 actually came up at last. The whole NCT family came up and showed up.

You have to know that every inch of land in the Song Festival is worth a lot of money. It is a luxury for many groups from small companies to show up. It is good enough to have a multi-person collaboration stage with others. It is not like NCT, which has a single stage and a whole family.

"We are SM!"

Wu Se-hun shrugged his shoulders, and his tone was natural, and it sounded like he had a sense of company honor.

SM's new generation boy group NCT adopted the "unlimited expansion" model that Lee Soo-man had been dreaming about, and finally debuted this year. At the beginning, there were three small teams, Dream, U, and 127, one more than the previous EXO KM team. Coupled with the setting of "unlimited expansion", the entire group's plan looks aggressive and full of ambition.

Unfortunately, the Kpop boy bands have already been divided up, with EXO dominating the market and countless popular boy bands competing fiercely for the remaining little cake. In the absence of a hit song, even though the company has poured a lot of resources, all the stages and award ceremonies at the end of the year have all appeared, and the company's seniors like Red Velvet and even EXO have personally come out to help, NCT's development so far can only be said to be somewhat unsatisfactory.

However, with the SM signboard and the title of "SJ, Girls' Generation, EXO juniors", NCT still has a great advantage compared to other small companies' groups... Sitting in a row at the Song Festival is the best example.

Fortunately, after NCT 127, SM did not pull all three sub-groups of NCT up for a big group photo, and Blackpink finally appeared under countless expectations.

YG's new girl group Blackpink, which debuted less than four months ago, lives up to the title of monster rookie. Except for one of the double hits, "STAY", the other two single albums after their debut are almost all hit songs. The sound sources have received very good reviews, showing the producer Tedyy's superb songwriting ability.

Although they debuted with the nickname of "the new four ugly", after getting familiar with them, even the haters admit that Blackpink is much better than the "old four ugly" 2NE1 in terms of appearance. Jisoo and Jennie's looks are now being praised by more and more people, and even Li Xia has a lot of loyal fans relying on her figure.

In addition to the support of YG and the idol quality of each member, Blackpink is the most eye-catching one among all the new girl groups this year.

"Our love is like playing with fire~"

"My love is on fire~"

After experiencing the three consecutive tortures of NCT, a familiar and dynamic female voice suddenly came to his ears. Looking at the four girls with good figures on the stage singing and dancing, Chi Jingyuan felt refreshed and shook his legs gently to the music of "Playing with Fire".

"Which one do you think is the best looking?"

While looking at the stage, Wu Sehun next to him suddenly asked.

He didn't say who it was, but Ji Jingyuan knew he was asking about the performance of Blackpink.

After he asked this, Ji Jingyuan changed his mindset, from admiring the stage to looking at it. After watching for a while, he confidently replied: "If we only talk about today's makeup... Jisoo."

Today, Kim Jisoo's look is really pretty, with two bows tied on her braids, and the style is quite to his taste.

"What if it's not just today?"

"Uh..." Ji Jingyuan thought for a while and shrugged: "Then it's still Jisoo."

Although Kim Jennie is liked by many people and is very popular, she is more likable for her appearance, strong in strength and stage charm, but if we only talk about her face, Ji Jingyuan thinks that anyone who sees her will think that Kim Jisoo is the best in Blackpink.

"What do you think of Rose?"

After talking for a long time, Wu Shixun finally asked what he wanted to ask the most.

"Well... I thought she was just average before, nothing special."

Chi Jingyuan recalled and said impartially: "But after dyeing her blonde hair, I feel that she looks much more beautiful. She looks pretty today."

He has always been very confident in his aesthetics and thinks he is very objective when commenting.

...But not as good as Xiaonan.

After hiding some of the offensive words, Chi Jingyuan remembered that Wu Shixun seemed to have a good relationship with Park Chae-young before, and they had talked privately several times. He immediately understood and raised his eyebrows and asked: "What? Do you have any ideas?"

"Yes, a little."

Wu Shixun covered his mouth and whispered. There was no intention to hide anything from Chi Jingyuan: "We are still in contact... If you need it, remember to cover for me."

"No problem, call me when the time comes."

Chi Jingyuan immediately patted his chest and agreed. Wu Shixun had been his wingman countless times and covered many times, so of course he had to give something in return.

"But..."

He thought about it and felt something was wrong: "Blackpink has only debuted for four months, can they date now?"

Dating right after debut is a privilege only for royals like him. Even Mingjing Nan didn't confirm his relationship with him until nearly a year after debut... Isn't four months a bit too much?

"Other companies may have some problems..."

Wu Se-hun covered his mouth and shrugged lightly, raising his eyebrows at him: "But...YG is different."

Chi Jingyuan paused for a moment after hearing this, and also raised his eyebrows, and understood it immediately.

While talking, he gently swung his legs and continued to watch the stage of Blackpink, but his eyes were more playful than before.

Just watching, some divergent thoughts...Just now NCT finished singing "Fire Truck", BP came up to sing "Playing with Fire"

I always feel a bit targeted...

The next few boy and girl groups appeared one after another, and after the boy group Monstaer X, it was Lovelyz.

Ji Jingyuan was quite familiar with Lovelyz, and he still had the contact information of several members. He exchanged with them when he was filling in for "Weekly Idol" last year. The guests of that episode also included Gfriend and Twice.

...I remember that he seemed to have taken a pillow he liked very much from the dormitory as a gift for the game, but I forgot who he gave it to.

It's a pity that the three girl groups were guests at the same time, and their status and popularity were similar. However, this year Gfriend and Twice soared to the sky, leaving Lovelyz far behind. The other two had already appeared in the prime time of the second half of the Gayo Daejeon, and they still opened the show during the rookie time period.

The situation was very different if they didn't keep up with the stamina. It's quite sad to say.

After a series of individual performances, hundreds of people suddenly ran up to the stage that seemed a little empty just now... The most anticipated "Girl Group Gathering" began in the first half of this year's Song Festival.

Six girl groups, including momoland, gugudan, Cosmic Girls, DIA, CLC, and LABOUM, worked together to perform their masterpieces one by one, while recreating the female trainee dance formation in this year's national program "Produce 101". The six girl groups plus dozens of dancers danced and moved in unison on the stage, which looked very enjoyable to watch.

"Wow, how long does it take to rehearse?"

Chi Jingyuan was shocked by this lineup. He clapped his hands and exclaimed in a low voice.

The nine members of EXO are often held back on the rehearsal stage, let alone a large-scale collaboration stage with six groups.

"What do you think of Bona?" At this time, Wu Shixun, who was next to him, came over again and looked at Jin Zhiyan who walked to the C position on the stage and pursed his lips.

"Do you have any ideas?" Chi Jingyuan looked at him speechlessly.

"I'm not talking about me, I'm talking about you!"

"Cough~"

Chi Jingyuan coughed lightly, looked away, and straightened his chest: "I have a girlfriend!"

"Ah ha ha……"

Although what he said was plausible, the unbearable smell in the snickering coming from beside him made him feel a little uncomfortable.

After the women's group assembly, there was the men's group assembly. Six men's groups including pentagon SF9 KNK ASTRO SNUPER HALO took to the stage and performed the same large square dance. It was very shocking to watch.

I have to say that this year's Gayo Daejeon is really big. These six are also relatively popular among the boy groups that have debuted in recent years. It's just that compared to the girl group lineup just now, the boy groups here are slightly less well-known. A little bit.

...Because of EXO's suppression, the Kpop boy group market has indeed been a bit difficult in recent years. Countless new groups have debuted and died. Even if they finally gain a foothold, they can only eat a little bit of the leftovers in the gaps. .

After learning that EXO was being targeted by the industry, Chi Jingyuan and other members could not help but feel a sense of urgency. They always felt that someone might die in their place... At this time, he cheered up and watched carefully. These are some new boy bands that stand out a little bit.

He wanted to see if there was any group or member that looked promising at first glance.

...I just looked at it for a while, except that one of the kids from ASTRO was quite handsome, but I didn’t feel much about the rest.

Although it is said that a group only needs one HIT song to perform, the potential of this group can be roughly seen from the comprehensive qualities of the members, including appearance, strength, etc.

Not to mention anything else, the comprehensive quality of the 12 debut members of EXO is here. Their software, hardware, appearance and strength are among the best among male groups. They have four main singers, four fronts, two main dancers, etc. The title also shows that the group is completely top-notch and is the essence of an entire generation of male trainees in SM.

It's really not that simple to achieve their configuration. He really can't see any threat from these boy groups.

I think that the stages of these two male and female groups imitate this year's "Produce 101", and "Produce 101" is also the most popular program this year, directly creating the explosively popular national girl group IOI.

If you look at it this way... they won't come up with a male version of 101 next year, right?

"By the way..."

"Ah ah ah ah ah……"

When Chi Jingyuan was about to say something, a loud and harsh scream suddenly erupted from behind. The sound was obviously much louder than the volume of the support stage at the previous second, and even somewhat overshadowed the stage accompaniment being played. Even the singing voices of the male idols were completely suppressed.

This sudden increase in screams was most likely the director's reaction. He came to his senses instantly, stopped talking, calmed down his expression, and then looked up at the big screen.

Sure enough, a close-up of him appeared on the big screen in front, with delicate short hair and clear eyes.

His action of looking at the big screen seemed to hit the excitement point of the fans and audience again, or maybe just seeing Chi Jingyuan's face made them excited. The cheers were obviously louder, and the whole venue seemed to be shaken. stand up.

Sensing this explosive popularity, all the idols at the artist table around him couldn't help but look at him in shock, including the members of EXO next to him. They couldn't help but turn their heads and look over with a strange smile. Kim Min-seok even gave a thumbs-up sign.

The girls in Twice in the back row felt the restless atmosphere and couldn't help but move in the direction of the XO in front. Zhou Ziyu first looked at Chi Jingyuan's back and the back of his head, and then looked up at the familiar figure on the big screen. On his face, he secretly pursed his lips with some dissatisfaction, but he couldn't help but purse his lips in happiness, and he didn't know whether he was angry or proud.

"...You guys should watch TV with a lower volume..."

In a family in Seoul, Li Huiying walked from the kitchen to the bedroom. When she passed by the living room, she heard a huge noise coming from the TV. She couldn't help but stop and chatter, but as soon as she looked over, she saw a very familiar face. , she couldn't help but leaned forward, pointed at the person on the TV and said: "This...isn't this Jin Yu? Is "Goblin" broadcast today?"

She recognized this face at a glance. She had only watched the latest live broadcast two days ago. It had not even been a week yet...

Jin Yunxi, who was watching with eyes shining, heard her grandma's question and noticed that her parents and brother next to her didn't mean to explain. She couldn't help but turned around and said, "No, this is the SBS Gayo Battle, Kyung Won and Oppa are also participating... "

"Isn't the Gayo Daejeon a party with those young people dancing and making a lot of noise? Isn't Jin Qian an actor? Why did he participate?"

"Because Oppa Jingyuan's job is to be an idol, he is a member of EXO, and an actor is just..."

As Kim Yoon-hee explained, grandma was no longer in a hurry to go back to her room. Instead, she sat next to her granddaughter and watched the music festival on TV, which she was not interested in at all... Unfortunately, the close-up of the familiar face on TV flashed by, and then she watched the program that was dancing and noisy, which made her frown.

"Where is he? Where is Kim Yoon?"

"Grandma, he hasn't arrived at EXO yet..."

"What EXO? Where is Kim Yoon?"

"It's not their stage now..."

"When will he come out?"

Similar scenes are staged in many families. It can only be said that because of his own superb popularity, coupled with the recent explosion of "Goblin", Chi Jingyuan is now too popular. Even many old grandparents have recognized his face, and his popularity has increased rapidly.

...It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most popular artist in the entire peninsula this month.

At the Song Festival, seeing the face of the most popular character in TV recently, the familiar face of Kim Hyeok, the general of Goblin, appear on the big screen, and the face of a popular actor in a hit drama appeared in the world of Kpop and idols, many people inevitably felt like they had walked from TV to reality.

Then, when they realized that Ji Jingyuan was an idol, fans who liked Kpop could not help but feel amazed and proud. No wonder the support was so strong.

Even people who usually don't watch the Song Festival at all only watched Kim Hyeok, that is, Ji Jingyuan.

A random reaction shot has such a good effect, and the director seems to have tasted the sweetness. As long as the reaction shot is cut to the first half, Ji Jingyuan must show up, and then there are more cheers than stage support.

After coming twice, the audience seemed to have found the fun, and they started to cheer as soon as everything happened, as if they had started to play.

But this made the performers on the stage embarrassed, and Ji Jingyuan was also a little embarrassed...

Fortunately, when the first half came to the end, when Ji Jingyuan was posing, Wu Shixun next to him suddenly patted him.

"Let's go, the assistant reminded us that it's time to leave."

"So early? Aren't there still a few performances?"

"In a while, it will be YG's stage, and they will probably interact with the artists in the seats. Do you want to support them?"

"Leave!"
