Peninsula Asteroid

Although the audience was not allowed to use professional photography equipment to shoot during this concert, and there was no clear video of the fan shooting, but it did not affect the fans who watched the first performance and the audience went back to the fan club Or promote and show off in your own small circle. Not long after the concert ended, several fanclubs of EXO immediately became lively.

"The first performance of the second tour was a complete success! I also watched the first tour last year. Both the lighting effects and the stage design have really improved a lot. The atmosphere on the scene is also very good. The support from Aili is super strong. I really enjoyed it! I really want to See it again……"

"The stage effects and atmosphere are particularly explosive, the Obamas are so handsome!"

"This year's second tour is indeed better than last year's first tour. In addition to the large screen, elevators, lighting and other equipment that have been significantly optimized, the main reason is that a lot of new songs released recently have been added. The comebacks of XO this year are very explosive. The songs are very popular, and the performance of these current hot songs in the concert can really drive the atmosphere, plus the previous classic hits, so it is basically high from the beginning to the end, it is really exciting."

"By the way, there are two new songs that have never been released. One of them is so hot that I want to jump up. There is also a teaser version of the title song of the last single album "L". Although it is not complete, it is really good. It sounds good, it's very addictive and I can sing it after listening to it once..."

"There was also the birthday celebration for Yuan at the end, it was really touching, I felt like I was about to cry when I saw Yuan, I cried myself, ahhh, it's been so long since the end, until now my mind is full of singing The picture of the meeting..."

"New song! There's also a new stage featuring the trailer! There's also Yuan Oppa's birthday celebration, ahh, I'm so envious..."

After watching the first show, the audience came back and told the general situation, which immediately caused a sensation among the fans. Many Aili who didn't buy the tickets for the first show, or didn't get tickets at all, were full of envy.

Tickets for the first performance are already the most sought-after, plus it happens to be Chi Jingyuan's birthday on May 13th, this is a very coincidental and special day, which makes all his fans excitedly looking forward to it.

It's a pity that compared with the huge fan group willing to pay and the number of passers-by audience called under the name, the tickets of more than 10,000 for the first game are still a little too small, so many people who didn't get the tickets for the first day Source fans were deeply disappointed.

Now being said by those who watched the whole scene at the scene for the first time, it is even more sour in their hearts.

"What about the new title, is there any audio..."

"It's really nice, the style is very distinctive, and the melody is very catchy. I can already sing the chorus."

"I really want to hear it, can you sing it?"

"Kkkk annoyance!"

...

After various announcements, reports, and revelations raised the expectations of the outside world, as well as the curiosity of fans and passers-by, EXO continued to hold a second performance on the 14th, except for the absence of Chi Jingyuan’s birthday celebration. Fans were a little disappointed, but it also ended successfully without any problems.

And on the 15th, the EXO group, together with their managers, appeared on the campus of Yonsei University in Seodaemun, Seoul.

May is the anniversary month of Peninsula University, and various colleges and universities will hold grand celebrations, bringing various colorful activities to college students, and the 15th happens to be Teacher’s Day, which is also the most important day for many school celebrations. The main stage will be set up in the widest place, and many popular artists will be invited to perform. Most of the school's students will come to watch. In addition, some schools will also open their doors to welcome guests from all over the world to join in the celebration. It was an extremely lively leisure carnival.

As the hottest boy group nowadays, especially among the younger generation of women, EXO has naturally received invitations from many schools. It’s a pity that the timing of several school celebrations coincides with the time of EXO’s concert. At the same time, because the problem of performance fees is also very realistic, after some consideration, the only vacant number 15 in the middle is naturally reserved for Yonsei University, the alma mater that Ji Jingyuan is currently studying.

Such a lively scene naturally makes people want to go for a stroll, but no matter how curious they are, it must be mainly for work. Chi Jingyuan and the others went to the main stage directly after finishing their styling in the beauty salon early in the morning. , After greeting the school, they started queuing up for rehearsal.

"The sun is so hot, but your heart is like still water."

"Whose fault is it, we used to love each other so much, babe..."

At the backstage entrance of the main stage, Chi Jingyuan stood next to several members who were chatting quietly, listening to the music of the rehearsal of the hip-hop duo Leessang, his body swayed gently, and his hands clasped his chest to follow the rhythm and melody the beat.

He quite liked the song "The Woman Who Can't Break Up".

Today, Yonsei University invited a lot of popular artists to participate in the performance. Apart from EXO, which is more popular, there are also many familiar faces. Apart from the few who just said hello backstage, Leessang who is rehearsing is one of them.

Because of the stage built temporarily, the backstage setup is relatively simple, because the space itself is not big, there are many groups of artists and their manager assistants need to use, plus the school organizers and student volunteers who came to help , There are a lot of people coming in and out, and the sound is noisy and the sound insulation is relatively poor. Some artists are too lazy to stay inside and simply come out to join in the fun, such as their EXO.

While listening to the music, Chi Jingyuan looked at the venue of the main stage.

This is a large open-air theater inside the Yonsei University campus. It has a large area and is generally in the shape of a circle. The seats start from the stage in a regular ladder and continue to extend upwards. It is empty and vast at first glance. The ring shape allows the sound It also became very prominent, and the music played on the stereo was now coming and going in the theater, producing echoes.

At this time, the students hadn't come yet because it was too early, but the whole venue could accommodate a very large number of spectators. Chi Jingyuan, who once had a solo school celebration performance, had a deep understanding of this.

If there are no accidents in the Yonsei University celebration, the main stage will be here. He was invited once last year because of his status as a student at the school, so he has some experience.

"I haven't participated in the university's celebration yet... How's the atmosphere here at Yonsei? I heard it's very lively."

After looking around for a while, Wu Shixun and Jin Junmian whispered a few words, then asked Chi Jingyuan a question.

This is the first time for EXO to participate in the performance of the school celebration since its debut, and many members basically have no experience as college students to join in the fun, so except for Ji Jingyuan, everyone else has little experience.

"It's very lively. When the afternoon starts, you will know how many people there are. It's not worse than a concert, and the atmosphere is even better." Chi Jingyuan nodded. He had the most emotions and time when he was a college student. The understanding is quite deep.

After answering a sentence, Chi Jingyuan's expression became weird, and he turned to look at Wu Shixun with a very curious look: "Brother Xiumin is preparing to take the postgraduate entrance examination, why didn't you think about taking the college entrance examination at that time? Didn't fans say that?" Can you get full marks in high school mathematics?"

The tone was full of jokes and provocations, and the brothers next to him couldn't help laughing.

This stalk made them, the insiders, laugh a little.

"..." What responded to him was a white eye and a raised middle finger.

"By the way, Jingyuan, I feel that Yonsei is very lively here. You are not a student, so you can take us to visit later." Jin Junmian seemed very interested in Yonsei, and after looking around, he made a suggestion .

Seeing that several people were a little moved, he directly gestured: "I will be free after the rehearsal is over, and then we will go around."

Speaking of which, although Chi Jingyuan's grades are mediocre, the number of times he came to school is not too much. In the past few years, the good times at the end of each year are outdated, but he is really not a good student. But he still has feelings for his alma mater. After all, it was the school where he studied hard and was admitted. He is also considered to be highly educated among a group of junior high school artists in the peninsula. He also has some pride. Will not refuse.

"XO, dress rehearsal!"

After waiting for about an hour, it was finally EXO's turn. The nine members in private clothes greeted the staff and walked onto the stage, which immediately attracted the attention of many college student volunteers.

Soon the music started, and EXO, who stood in formation, began to move along with the melody of the music, rehearsal.

Today they have a total of 5 songs on the stage. Counting the greetings and intervals, there is almost 16 minutes of performance time, which is already a very long performance.

The school celebration performances usually start from the afternoon to the evening. Because the time span is very long, there will naturally be a lot of time for each group of artists. For example, Leessang just now had nearly 40 minutes of stage time. The ten-song stage is no different from a small concert.

Although in the case of school celebration performances, some economic companies will charge a part of the performance fee accordingly, but some companies will also care about this, and the fees charged by groups of different levels are naturally different. EXO is the most popular group at the moment. Naturally, the performance fee is also the highest one. I don’t know who released the news in the past two days. For the Yonsei University celebration, EXO has collected nearly 100 million won in performance fees for the stage of five songs. This figure In a performance case like a university celebration, it can be called a sky-high price.

To be honest, the performance fee for EXO’s first time to participate in the school celebration performance is indeed a bit high. This price can already invite three or four groups of first- and second-tier groups to come to the school to perform. Like the rehearsal of leessang just now, the performance of ten songs, I guess The performance fee is less than a fraction of EXO's, and the gap is still obvious.

It is estimated that few schools can afford this high fee, that is, Yonsei University is considered to be the rich group.

The reason why these top universities spend a lot of money every year to invite popular artists to perform is because the tuition and accommodation fees of peninsula universities are quite high and not cheap. Students actually have a say in the lineup for the school celebration. If you are not satisfied If the performance lineup invited by the student union can be directly protested to the school on SNS and other platforms.

If the invited team is very strong, it will naturally satisfy the students. While it can play a publicity role, it can also show the school's aggressiveness and wealth to a certain extent.

Just because a school invites idols to perform on stage does not mean that everyone has the opportunity to watch the idols for free. Some schools have wide access and can let tourists come in for sightseeing at will, because they may invite some who are not very popular. A combination of three and four lines.

But on the other hand, some rich people can hire luxurious performance lineups, such as Uncle Psy and EXO. The schools of artists such as Psy and EXO may also have very strict management and will not sell tickets or open to the public. They will even strictly check student ID cards, such as Sungkyunkwan University and Kyung Hee University only allow undergraduate students to participate, and the photo on the student ID card will be removed.

Their Yonsei is fine.

The setting of the main stage is relatively ordinary. It is a simple earth-shaped stage, surrounded by various lighting and audio equipment, and a large LED display screen behind it. Other than that, there are no fancy things, such as Fireworks erupted, and there were no lifts or anything like that.

The theater is large, but the stage is quite small. It would be nice if there were fewer people. If it’s a large group of nine people like EXO, they can’t stand in a straight line even if they’re diagonal unless they stand in a row horizontally. , one or two people were squeezed out at the end.

Chi Jingyuan and the others discovered this problem when they just started rehearsing.

And because there is indeed a lot of equipment and lighting placed on the edge of the stage, the space for dancing is also backlogged. As the number of people increases, many formations and moves cannot be arranged. The formations are not aligned, and some dance moves cannot be made. Fully extended, this actually affects the overall stage effect.

But the school anniversary is not a concert. For many students, seeing the artists is enough. This kind of performance...

The main thing is an atmosphere.

Of course, the attitude must be serious.

"Let's go."

After the rehearsal ended, after saying hello to his manager, Chi Kyung-won left the main stage with the four more interested members, preparing to visit Yonsei's campus.

The five people were all wearing private clothes, wearing hats without masks, and were walking along the road. Except for Ji Kyung-won, the other four people, such as Oh Se-hun, Kim Jun-myeon, Do Kyung-soo and Byun Baek-hyun, I was very interested in the scenery and cultural landscape here and kept looking around.

"The location of our school is pretty good, but you can't get there directly by subway... To the right of the school is the affiliated hospital. I've been there once. It's a fairly modern hospital with advanced equipment. It's very convenient for students to see a doctor."

"That's the library over there, and the school emblem is hanging on the building next to it. Yonsei's school emblem is the pattern of a torch and the library, which represents truth and freedom. It is considered to be the basic spirit of Jidu religion, although I don't think it makes sense... …”

In order to visit, Chi Jingyuan led a few people back to the area near the school gate and started walking from the beginning. While walking, he pointed around and made introductions. He, a current student, suddenly transformed into a tour guide in front of several members. Although He didn't actually know much, some of it was from reading books or listening to other people's lectures, but it was enough to lead a few low-educated high school students to appreciate the humanistic charm of the peninsula's well-known universities.

"There is a relatively famous attraction in the innermost place. It is one of the oldest buildings in our school. I remember it was built in 1922. I remember it was called 'Yin Dongzhu Dormitory Building'. It seems to be called that, but I have never been there. I don’t know this person very well.”

"Don't you know Yin Dongzhu? He is a very famous poet in modern times." Bian Baixian glanced at him, his tone and eyes were a bit strange.

"I know Yin Dongzhu. He studied at Yonsei University before..." Wu Shixun couldn't help but immediately showed a sarcastic face: "You still have the nerve to say that you are a student at Yonsei? How many times have you been here two or three years ago? ah?"

It was a little embarrassing to accidentally leak the stuffing, but Chi Jingyuan had already practiced it, so Quan acted as if he didn't hear it and continued to nod and walk ahead.

These five people are quite eye-catching. After all, their aura is obviously different from that of ordinary universities. Some people on the street couldn't help but cast their eyes over after seeing their faces. Naturally, they were full of surprise after seeing their faces clearly.

However, as a very well-known student at school, Chi Jingyuan is relatively famous among his classmates. He meets many classmates every time he goes to school, so it does not cause any confusion.

"It feels...a bit ordinary." After walking for a while and looking around, Jin Junmian hesitated, smacked his lips and felt a little disappointed.

As one of the most famous universities on the peninsula, it is still very famous. However, after walking around for a while, they felt that it did not feel like an academic holy place in the middle school as they imagined. It was neither particularly elegant, nor very modern, nor high-end. Anything less than that is very ordinary.

"Indeed, in terms of the style of the one-wheeled building and the overall style, Yonsei is actually not very good. In terms of elegance and retro, it is not as good as Korea University. In terms of modernization and hardware facilities, it is definitely not as big as Seoul."

Chi Jingyuan did not deny it. The facts were there, and he felt the same way at first.

He didn't explain much, but led a few people towards the second half of the school, crossed several roads, and came to the core of the campus from the depths. A row of classical atmosphere struck the eye. The teaching building suddenly made several people quiet down. The green vines and ivy walking on the wall added a deep sense of tranquility to the entire house and the surrounding environment, as if they had arrived in a medieval garden.

The gentle breeze blows, the leaves tremble slightly, and there seems to be a deep and heavy breath brewing in the fresh air.

Deep in the core, the vicissitudes and antiquity of the school's founding in 1885 still remain, and the profound sense of historical heritage slowly overflows. It is only a few hundred meters away from the previous campus, but it gives people a sense of A completely different feeling.

The sense of thickness that travels through time and space comes not only from the walls covered with green vines, but also from the lush old brick walls and elegant old-style window edges.

Chi Jingyuan looked back at the few people who were obviously shocked by the environment and atmosphere, smiled and said nothing.

This is the best place in the school he studied.

It seemed that they were intimidated by the richness of the school's cultural landscape and cultural and historical atmosphere. Several high school students became less talkative. At the same time, their eyes looking at Chi Jingyuan were faintly tainted with a layer of envy.

This is indeed a great place.

"It would be great if I can take the Yonsei graduate school exam in the future." After walking around for a long time and checking the time, Chi Jingyuan took a few people to have something to eat. After they came out and walked on the road, Bian Baekhyun looked at The number of students around slowly increased and sighed.

"Awesome!" Chi Jingyuan gave him a thumbs up and praised him sincerely.

To be honest, he knows best how painful it is to catch up on studies when idols have such busy schedules. This brother and Kim Min-seok have been thinking about improving their academic qualifications and taking the postgraduate entrance examination. It's really quite cool. awesome.

"There is a small open-air theater in front of it. Some activities are usually held here. During school celebrations, some artists are also invited to perform as a stage. However, in terms of excitement and level, it is not as good as the main stage."

Seeing an empty stepped square at the end of the road in the shade of trees ahead, Chi Jingyuan simply explained to the members.

There will be theatrical performances almost every day during the school anniversary. Not only will the current popular artists be invited, but there will also be many programs rehearsed by the students within the school. In addition to the main stage, which is the most grand and has the largest audience, there will also be other performances. Some smaller amphitheaters hold some performances, and famous artists will appear from time to time.

"Are there any performances there today?" Jin Junmyeon asked casually, and then remembered the feeling of visiting all the way, and couldn't help but admired: "It seems that Yonsei University is really good, with great greenery, scenery and cultural sense. ...Speaking of which, I remember that many TV series were filmed here, right?”

"Well, there are quite a few. I remember the more famous ones are "If Love Is Provident", "My Sassy Girl", and by the way, there is also "IRIS". Kim Tae Hee is really pretty in it. "

"Pity……"

Chi Jingyuan nodded, thought for a while and named a few well-known TV series that he was familiar with. Finally, he sighed softly, not knowing what he was regretting.

"And the one played by Go Ara in "Reply 1994", I've seen it." Do Kyungsoo interjected at this time.

"Really? I haven't seen that one. Brother, you still have time to watch these. Do you know Go Ara?" Chi Jingyuan led them to the small theater. After hearing this, he couldn't help but glance at Do Kyungxiu and said casually. explain.

"We work in the same company, of course we know each other." Do Kyung-soo was speechless.

"I'm not talking about this realization, I'm talking about... forget it."

"Jingyuan, do you think that other people's "1994" is more popular than your "1997", so you are jealous and don't want to watch it?" Wu Shixun speculated with dark and malicious thoughts.

"How is it possible... "1997" is the first of the "Reply" series. It is much more popular than "1994", okay? Do you have eyes? And it doesn't matter who plays the male lead."

Several people quarreled and noisily walked into this small open-air theater. At this time, the auditorium was still empty, but there was some excitement on the stage. Several staff and volunteers were busy. There were also people suspected of being artists rehearsing.

"There are performances here too."

While saying something curious, several people were ready to get closer and take a look. They had just taken a few steps closer when a few tentative greetings suddenly came from behind.

"senior……"

Chi Jingyuan, who felt that the voice sounded slightly familiar, paused and looked back with the others. As soon as he turned his head, a few familiar faces came into view, making him blink and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. one time.
