Peninsula Asteroid

"Did we get one?"

Chi Jingyuan was lying on the small sofa next to the box, playing a game console with his legs crossed, and asked Wu Shixun not far away without looking away.

At this time, the twelve members of EXO, who had just finished rehearsing at the concert venue, were all in a large box reserved by Kim Junmyeon at a nearby hotel.

Today is the birthday of team leader Jin Junmyeon. Taking advantage of this day to have a meal together can not only celebrate, but also allow all the members to get together and relax, which is the best of both worlds.

Originally, he planned to have all the members visit his home, which would work best. His home happens to be in Jiangnan District, and he also has his own property apartment near the company.

However, there was not enough time to eat and rest in the evening. After dinner, they had to go back to the venue to continue rehearsing, so they simply gave up. However, they also made an appointment to go directly to his house at the next party.

He looks really hospitable.

Chi Jingyuan remembered that Jin Junmian once mentioned that his parents were both professors and teachers at the school, and his relatives were still in business. His family had good connections and ran his own company. He didn’t know what industry he was in, but judging from his daily life Judging from the fact that he often entertains guests from time to time, doesn't pay much attention to money, and bought his own apartment in Gangnam before his debut, his family conditions should be very good, ranking among the top among EXO.

The company didn't hold any birthday party this time, because the first concert happened to be the next day, and they planned to celebrate and bless him in front of all the audience.

Although it was a day late, the atmosphere and significance were definitely extraordinary.

The food hasn't been served yet, and the members are sitting casually in the box, talking in twos and threes while playing with their mobile phones.

"You don't know how to read it yourself, why do you still ask about such a thing?"

Wu Shixun glanced at him sideways and saw Chi Jingyuan playing the game console seriously without even looking at him. He said something unhappily, scratched the screen of his phone with his index finger a few times, and nodded: "Take it. Today's "m!c" is the same as ours, so there's no surprise... the alternates are us and apink."

"apink? Didn't they say they would end the singing competition at the end of last week?"

Chi Jingyuan smiled when he heard this.

I heard Jung Eun say before that Apink will not participate in the singing competition this week, but due to EXO's concert this week, basically all the singing competition programs will not be able to attend, so the final score will definitely be lowered.

I don’t know if Apink’s company felt that there was still hope of getting a few first places under this situation, which caused the song recording to be postponed for another week.

"What's the score?" he asked curiously.

"9906 versus 4729."

"Isn't this a double kill?"

Chi Jingyuan smiled happily, and Chi Jingyuan's hand in controlling the game trembled. He suddenly felt a little regretful that he was not there, otherwise he could have seen Zheng Eunji's expression at that time.

After two minutes, Wu Shixun suddenly raised his head and said, "By the way, I'll show you a video. It's very interesting."

"Where is it?" Just as Chi Jingyuan finished beating the boss, he saved and exited, put away the game console, took out his cell phone from his pocket and looked at him curiously.

"Posted in the group, see for yourself."

"Which group?"

"Our K team group."

"Let me see..." Chi Jingyuan nodded and opened the chat software kakao, and clicked on the EXO-K team's group to take a look.

Before EXO's debut, their leader Kim Junmyeon created several chat groups, including Team K, Team M, and everyone together, etc. It is unknown whether there is a small collective group in private.

The 12-person group became a little deserted after the group activities, but their own group of Team K is quite active. Park Chanyeol and Oh Sehun like to fill it with water when they have nothing to do. Chi Jingyuan is also willing to chime in with a few words from time to time. interesting.

Also, Kim Jong-in, who doesn’t talk much in normal life, becomes talkative inexplicably in the group, and likes to post pictures to express his presence.

In the group, they did not use their original names but all changed their IDs to have the same format, which was their last name plus the syllables after their stage names. Kim Jong-in was called Kim Kai, and Oh Se-hun was called Oh Hun.

Chi Jingyuan is Chi Yuan.

When he entered the group chat, he saw Wu Hun sent a video link, and the title was BTS kris being interviewed. Chi Jingyuan's eyes lit up and he clicked on it.

The video started to play, and it appeared that Wu Sike was standing in front of a billboard with many logos, seeming to be recording some interview. A reporter was holding a microphone with the logo of Xia Guo's well-known website and was asking questions.

It is an interview conducted entirely in Chinese, but it has been uploaded to Al Jazeera Online and has been subtitled.

"BTS's activities in Xia Kingdom have gained a lot of popularity during this period. There was news a few days ago that fans were crowded due to the activities. How does Kris feel about your achievements during this period?"

"Well, first of all, I really want to thank the fans for supporting us."

Wu Saike faced the microphone stretched out to his mouth. After thinking for a moment, he expressed a sincere expression and began to reply with a sunny face: "We are very honored that they like our music. We will definitely continue to work hard and live up to the expectations of all the fans. expectations.”

Very official answer, no surprises.

Chi Jingyuan leaned there and watched the video, commenting secretly in his heart.

After the reporter asked a few more questions, the interesting thing came.

"Before BTS, EXO has targeted the mainland market since its debut and achieved great success. Now it has a very high reputation in the whole of Asia. Now it is the boy group with the best development in our side. Now, what do you think of this group of seniors who made their way into the summer?"

Although BTS has performed well in Xiaguo in the past few months, and has gained a lot of popularity and its own fan base, it is still inferior to EXO by more than one or two notches, both in terms of popularity and fan base. very far.

They are all boy groups from the peninsula, and Xia Guo’s fans are not blind and deaf. EXO and BTS are not at the same level in the peninsula. After entering the summer, you can meet EXO everywhere, and they hang over them like a shadow.

And the ingredient content of their combination handsome guy is indeed slightly lower.

The purpose of the reporter asking this question is of course hoping to hear Wu say something nice to please XO fans, and to create a good relationship between BTS and EXO, which will not only gain a lot of goodwill, but also attract some fans to climb the wall .

"Um……"

Wu Saike frowned faintly, and nodded lightly: "Whether EXO is in the peninsula or in the mainland, they are our predecessors. Their successful activities have also set an example for us. Their stage and songs are really great. I also try to learn from them in some ways."

After he finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had relieved some burden.

"You guys should know each other in the peninsula, right?"

"Yes, yes."

"Are you familiar?"

"...It's pretty familiar."

He nodded, his smile seemed a little stiff.

"Yuan, a popular member in EXO, are you familiar?"

"... Let's be familiar."

The way he looked at the host was slightly wrong.

"Then what do you think of him? Did you communicate with him when you were on the peninsula?"

"..."

Wu Saike glanced at the host with inexplicable eyes, then lowered his head and pondered for a long time, the corners of his mouth and brows twitched a few times as if he was struggling in his heart, and after a while he raised his head to face the camera, showing a feeling of deep emotion smile:

"EXO's Senior Yuan has always been a senior I admire very much. We had friendly exchanges when we were on the peninsula. He conveyed to me some experience in activities, which benefited me a lot."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the reporter felt that his teeth touched a little too much when he was speaking.

"Senior Yuan has achieved very good results as a boy group and as an actor, and pointed out a good route for us, and we have learned a lot from it..."

He paused, his face was a little stiff:

"I am his meal..."

"Hahahaha..." Chi Jingyuan couldn't hold back his laughter before he finished watching it, especially seeing Wu Saike's last stiff expression and eyes, and the words he said through gritting his teeth really hit the spot His laughing point, collapsed on the sofa and laughed non-stop.

He guessed that Wu Du wanted to put the microphone into the host's mouth.

It's really not easy being an artist.

In the end, many people could see Wu's expression. Some viewers left comments under the video and thought it was a bit strange, asking if there was something hidden.

"It seems that their activities in Xia Guo are going well, are they very popular?"

After reading the comments below, Chi Jingyuan asked with interest.

"It's not bad, I heard it's pretty good." Wu Shixun nodded, but added with a calm smile: "Of course it's still much worse than us."

After saying a few words, the door of the box was knocked, the waiter began to serve the food, and the members all went to the table to sit in their seats again, took a few authentication photos and sent them to the manager, and then the evening began Captain birthday party.

Because it was a happy day, everyone was very supportive, and the long-lost private dinner with twelve people was completed lively.

…………

On May 23rd, the Seoul Olympic Gymnastics Arena, the staff in the venue that has already been erected are still busy, finalizing the specific conditions of the lighting, sound, elevators, high platforms, hanging baskets and other devices and facilities , so as to avoid any unexpected situation in EXO's first solo concert since its coming out.

And the members are also rehearsing their positions and procedures at the end. Although they have rehearsed countless times from beginning to end during this period, it can be said that they are familiar with every link, but when the concert is about to start, they will still feel that it is time for the concert to begin. A little anxious, several members were a little panicked at this time, their hands trembled slightly, they couldn't help shaking their legs, and sweat couldn't stop flowing on their foreheads.

Although I have participated in many SMtown family concerts before, at that time EXO was just one of the participants, a supporting role, but now it is their real solo concert, everyone is the real protagonist here, so they can’t help being nervous .

"Jing Yuan is really a thief, because he is afraid of heights, he doesn't have to go on the hanging basket. Thinking about it, I think it's unfair." At this time, Do Kyungsoo said something to make fun of, and eased the somewhat anxious atmosphere.

There was a segment in the concert, Team M performed on the stage, and the six members of Team K would sit in a gondola and go around the venue to interact with fans, and Chi Jingyuan felt dizzy after sitting in and went up Was given the privilege of not having to sit in a gondola.

"Yeah, I also said that if you feel dizzy, can you stop sitting?"

"Is this hanging basket strong? When I was rehearsing before, I always felt like it was going to fall at any time."

Seeming to have found a point to vent, several members around complained one after another, while Chi Jingyuan smiled and let them vent their criticism.

He could tell that the members were a little impatient, and so was he himself.

"All the kids from XO come over and make a final confirmation."

At this time, the PD of the concert shouted not far away, and several staff members next to him were talking about something, and several managers of XO were also there.

"Okay here we come!"

Everyone walked over quickly, formed a circle, and listened carefully to the explanations of the director and other scene managers, and it took about ten minutes before it was considered done.

"OK, that's about it. We've been preparing for today's concert for a long, long time. Don't be too nervous, just follow the rehearsal."

After the director and staff left, Lee Seung-hwan smiled and encouraged the members: "Go back to the backstage first, your family members are already here, and the people from the company are entertaining you right now. After chatting with them, we will Go get some make-up, the audience will start entering soon."

"Understood bro." After talking to Lee Seung-hwan, the XO members returned to the backstage under the leadership of their assistants, and within two steps, they saw the family members of the members gathered at the door of their lounge.

Because this concert is of great significance to XO, the company notified in advance and invited all members' families to watch the first concert on the 23rd.

The peninsula is a country with many children, and most of the people are not only children. At this moment, many parents and brothers came together, and surrounded the backstage corridor tightly. After seeing the members coming back, they were immediately excited Get up, and quickly wave and call your child's name.

Of course, not all the parents of all the members were present, except for a very few local members who couldn't come this time because their relatives couldn't spare the time, the family members of the three Xia Kingdom lines didn't come.

It is said that it is because it is inconvenient to go abroad to the peninsula, but SM has also made other preparations, inviting them to EXO's first concert in Xiaguo to witness the growth of their children.

It can be regarded as caring.

But compared to the warm reunion with other family members at this time, the few members of Xiaguo Line, as well as the one or two members whose relatives were not present for some reason, can't help but look a bit bleak now. After bowing and saluting to other people's parents I walked into the lounge and hugged to keep warm.

Chi Jingyuan also saw his second brother. He smiled and saluted the elders of the members next to him, and walked over there slowly.

Chi Jingxu stood at the edge of the crowd, at the corner of the backstage corridor, without an assistant by his side at this time, and a middle-aged man who seemed to be a senior executive of SM was standing next to him, talking about something, but the director saw Chi Jing When Yuan came over, he smiled and nodded his head to say hello, and then left in a very witty manner.

"Why, the big star is not happy to see me?" The second brother tilted his head and looked at Chi Jingyuan with a smile.

"That's not true, the mood is actually quite good."

Chi Jingyuan also laughed, and stood beside him and licked his lips.

"Then I guess you'll be disappointed. I won't be able to stay long for an important meeting. I guess I can watch the opening at most."

Chi Jingxu blinked at him, as if you don't want to be too happy.

"That's it...that's just right."

Chi Jingyuan chuckled and shrugged his shoulders, making him even happier.

He didn't know if the second brother really had something to do, or if he saw that he was a little awkward performing in front of his family, so he did it specially.

But it doesn't matter, I'm happy to be here.

The two brothers stood there and chatted, from the concert to schoolwork, and then to relationships, and Chi Jingyuan became impatient and switched to other topics.

"Why did you learn your driver's license? The car that sent you has been parked there. Don't you think it's troublesome when you call Park Jae-hyun to drive you for a date every day?" The second brother squinted at him with a disgusted expression.

"Trouble... Actually, there is a little bit. I want to learn too, so let's finish my work in the past few days."

Chi Jingyuan was a little helpless. He actually wanted to get his driver's license after he became an adult, but he didn't have time to catch up with the return period.

After a pause, he looked over and said, "What kind of car did you buy again? I can't even drive the ones I gave away before, they are too eye-catching."

"Don't worry, considering your career as an artist, this time the gifts are all ordinary models, absolutely no problem."

Chi Jingxu patted his younger brother on the shoulder, saying that everything is under control and he has considered everything.

After chatting for a while, an assistant shouted from over there:

"Children, it's time to touch up your makeup, get ready for the opening!"

"knew."

Chi Jingyuan responded, then turned to look at his second brother: "Then I'll go first."

Chi Jingxu nodded his chin at him with a smile:

"Go, big star."

………………

"Why are so many people sitting there wearing raincoats?"

Zhou Ziyu, Kong Xue and another friend were queuing up to enter the venue. At this time, she saw the dense crowd sitting around the fence and asked in confusion.

At this time, people wearing red raincoats were neatly sitting near the fence. They were lined up in several square formations and there were too many people to count. There were also a few people who looked like staff standing next to them to maintain order.

It has been raining lightly in Seoul these past few days, coming and going, and the entire ground was soaked wet.

"Those are fans who have not bought concert tickets but really want to see XO perform."

Kong Xue also took a look and explained clearly: "The tickets for XO this time are too few and they were snatched up too quickly. Considering their number of fans, it is simply not enough. Those who don't have tickets can only experience it this way. Let’s enhance the atmosphere of the concert and support our idols at the same time.”

"But there are too many people outside here..."

"This is XO's first concert. Do you think it's some other idol? If it weren't for Tzuyu, we would be sitting there with them... Come in quickly, there are more and more people."

The three friends walked slowly in the queue holding banners and glow sticks. After waiting for a long time, they finally entered the venue. The drizzle was blocked out, and the slightly noisy environment made them feel as if they had entered another world.

They walked slowly forward along the prompts until they reached an area very close to the central stage and finally found their location.

"Wow, this is the front row of the infield. This location is great. It deserves to be an internal ticket." Kong Xue saw the stage so close that he could climb up with just one hand and the clearly visible stage not far away. The huge screen made her whole body feel excited. She had come to the peninsula to watch many concerts, but she had never sat in such a good seat.

Zhou Ziyu wore a hat and looked around curiously. Seeing that the location was so good, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but she was also very happy in her heart. After a few glances, she sat upright in her seat. While chatting with the friend next to me, I looked in the direction of the stage and waited for the concert to start.

A few rows away from the three of them, Nai Minami and Hirai Momo also found a seat and sat down and took a long breath. After waiting in such a long line, it was still raining outside, making it sticky and uncomfortable. Finally, it was I can sit down and take a breath.

"It's still not close enough to the stage..." Najing Nan said a little dissatisfiedly after sitting down and looking at the distance between himself and the stage and the big screen.

Although they were in a very good position in the infield and were in the front row with a good view, they were still several meters away from the stage.

What Minami wants in her heart is the closest row to the front, the feeling of reaching out and touching the people on the stage, the feeling of being so close that you can see them when you raise your head.

"It's great to be able to grab tickets for this event. The requirements are so high... Our seats are already very good and we can see so clearly."

Hirai Momo opened the mineral water and took a sip, and said angrily: "You don't just have to have money to buy a ticket. There are very few seats in the front row and they will be taken up as soon as they come out. Unless you know SM or EXO insiders, you can find them." Relationships get tickets.”

"I know you!" Najing Nan turned around and blinked, pouting slightly to look cute.

"But I don't know you." Hirai Momo didn't like her, glanced at her and puffed up her cheeks.

If it were Minazaki Saka, she would probably just hug her and stick her to her.

"..." After hearing this, Ming Jing Nan pouted slightly in shock. She buried her head for a few seconds and then raised her head and reached out to brush her hair to cheer herself up. She would not be hurt by such a small attack. .

"It's a pity that Sana-chan can't come." She looked at the empty seats around her and gradually filled them with people, and said with some regret.

"She went to Thailand to shoot the MV for the title song of Got7 seniors. I don't know how happy she is. Do you think that everyone who likes XO as much as you must come to the concert... Ah, that's not right, Mina-chan likes …”

Hirai Momo snorted and said, with a bit of sourness in her voice, and she was obviously envious. Her tone became more narrow as she spoke, and she looked at Nai Minami teasingly, but she did not take it seriously under the direct gaze of the other party. Finished speaking.

'Tch, it's obvious, but I don't like people saying it...'

She couldn't help but complain in her heart. Hirai Momo pursed her lips and finally waved her hands: "And we only got two tickets, so we won't have a seat when we come."

"That's right... sana-chan can shoot the MV for the title song of GOT7 seniors, and was also selected into 6MIX's debut group. She should be able to debut soon..."

Najing Nan nodded and said softly, chewing in his heart, feeling a little astringent for some reason.

If it wasn't enough, she pursed her lips and buried it in her heart, then looked back to the side: "The seats are almost full, it should start soon."

"Come on, the time is coming soon."

…………

Seeing that the time was about to reach the hour, all the 18,000 spectators in the venue turned on the fluorescent lights in their hands. At the same time, the ceiling lights of the venue gradually dimmed. Without lights, the dark and deep venue could only see countless stars. The swaying fluorescent sticks, the light spots extend, undulate and fluctuate, converging into a moving silver-white ocean.

The red atmosphere lights on the stage turned on, and the sound in the venue immediately became much noisier. As the hour hand pointed to 12, the speaker made a loud noise, realizing that the concert was about to begin, and all the fans shouted loudly.

The big screen was lit up, and several drummers in classical costumes under the fluorescent light were beating the big drum vigorously. The drum surface was the labyrinth logo of EXO's second mini-album this time.

When the drum beat got faster and faster, and reached the highest point, it stopped abruptly. At the same time, the opening VCR of the concert began to play on the big screen.

Twelve members appeared one after another on the screen. They kept running in the harsh environment of special effects production. Some were in the ice and snow, some were in the mountains about to collapse, and some were trapped in the huge in the maze.

Even so, everyone was still running in one direction, and no obstacle could slow them down.

Accompanied by the passionate and majestic BGM, I don't know how many planes have been crossed, how many walls blocking the road have been smashed, the twelve teenagers who control super powers finally meet together, leap into the air and penetrate The curtain of time, the big screen also made a shattering special effect at the same time.

And the elevator on the main stage has been slowly raised up, and the twelve members stood there quietly in the dim light. As if through time and space, I broke the screen and came here.

Seeing the protagonist appear on the stage, all the audience in the venue immediately began to shout excitedly. The deafening sound swept through all the corners of the vicinity like a tsunami. Even the crowd waiting outside could clearly hear the eardrum-stinging cheers.

At this time, the entire Olympic gymnastics arena has fallen into a carnival.

The lights gradually turned on, changing from dark red to hazy yellow, and the twelve members of EXO walked forward slowly. At the same time, the sacred and majestic, surging but mysterious music suddenly sounded.

"mama", this is the first song of their concert, and it is also their debut song:

“careless careless shoot anonymous anonymous.”

"heartless mindless no one who cares about me."
