Chapter 239 The atmosphere is subtle
"Didn't it mean that your itinerary over there was very hard. You were constantly spinning and flying around every day, but why do I think you are a little fatter?"

After taking the plane back to Seoul, Chi Kyung-won took a rest in the afternoon. After dinner, he met the members whom he hadn't seen for almost half a month in the company's practice room. Wu Shixun frowned as he looked at him, very He looked suspiciously at Chi Jingyuan.

"It's an illusion. My figure and weight have been maintained very well without any major fluctuations... Probably because my image in your mind is so good that it is a myth, or it may be that you miss me too much."

After seeing them, Chi Jingyuan was very kind, and joked with him with a smile, and added afterward with some aftertaste: "But Xia Guo's food is really great, and it is the only comfort in the devil's itinerary. , if I hadn't controlled it deliberately, I would have gained at least a few catties."

When the members saw Chi Jingyuan, they also greeted with a smile, and came over to exchange some pleasantries and asked about the current situation. After chatting for a while, they sat on the floor, chatting softly, or playing with their mobile phones.

"what's the situation?"

Chi Jingyuan keenly felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, so he asked Do Kyungsoo who was sitting next to him in a low voice.

"...It's not because of this comeback."

Do Kyungsoo glanced left and right without leaving a trace, then leaned over and whispered in Chi Jingyuan's ear, "After the comeback, the popularity and schedule of the lead singers of Line have obviously increased, and the singing stage is also ours. When I went to perform, some people felt unhappy and had opinions.”

"..."

After hearing that, Chi Jingyuan nodded clearly.

Although everyone knew that this would happen when the plan was announced before, but knowing it in the heart and seeing it with the eyes after it happened in reality, the feeling is completely different.

Even if it had been expected before, seeing the popularity of the lead singers increase a lot at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the itinerary also increased, while the other pick-up members could only sit there and watch, their hearts would naturally surge. Feelings of dissatisfaction.

This is also one of the most obvious changes in EXO since the team became popular, and the previous low period. The members' professionalism has also improved a lot with the popularity of the group.

Even if some members don't say it publicly, they will secretly compete in their hearts, while others will show it directly.

Aside from Chi Jingyuan, the sense of competition among the members is becoming more and more obvious, which is also an inevitable trend after a group becomes more popular.

The vast majority of idol groups in the peninsula are like this. After all, they don’t have any ambition at all. They don’t want to increase their popularity. What kind of idol do you want to be?
Seeing other members who were as popular as themselves before, but suddenly overtaking them in a corner, anyone would feel a little unbalanced.

Of course, there are also those very few artists who don't care about such artists at all if they are more Buddhist, and they want to be lazy and fish every day.

However, most of these people have excellent family conditions, so they have the confidence not to care about those things.

The weird atmosphere didn't last too long, and soon manager Li Chenghuan walked in with a few dance teachers.

"Jing Yuan, the condition is good."

Seeing Chi Jingyuan, Li Chenghuan walked over with a warm smile and patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother, I'm holding on, but I almost can't open my eyes." Chi Jingyuan pouted his lips and replied with a wry smile.

"Ha ha……"

Lee Seung-hwan laughed happily, and the two chatted for a few words before getting to the point.

"After Jing Yuan returns to the team, you should practice together to familiarize yourself. Tomorrow's mnet's "Super Hit" stage will not be able to catch up, so let's prepare for the two days of 21st and 22nd and the three singing stages on the 24th."

"The two days of 21st and 22nd belong to the Christmas special. Our EXO will perform the song "chrismas day" as a whole. On the 24th, the five lead singers will sing "Miracle in December" together for the first time, but this is not the key."

Lee Seung-hwan began to explain the specific itinerary for the next few days after Chi Kyung-won came back from EXO.

"It's mainly the smtown week concert on 24th and 25th. When Jing Yuan was in Xiaguo, the other members had been rehearsing for several days. You must be too late for some performances with FX and cooperation, but it doesn't matter. You are a little behind on other EXO solo stages, you have to work a little overtime in these two days."

"We have practiced these songs before, and it should be very fast to get familiar with them again."

Hearing Li Chenghuan's words, Chi Jingyuan nodded to show that he understood.

smtown week is the latest concert brand launched by SM after the previous smtown live family concert. It will be officially held on December 12 this year at KINTEX in Ilsan, a satellite city of Seoul.

Different from the previous smtown live family concert where all the artists under the umbrella were present together, this week is a special performance for each group.

Starting from the 21st, it will last for nine days in total. Shinee at first, Girls’ Generation on the 22nd, FX and EXO together on 24-25, TVXQ on 26-27, and SJ in the last two days.

It is worth mentioning that the two days of EXO and fx's performances coincided with Christmas, and Christmas is a big festival for Peninsula, and it is more important than Chinese New Year in many people's minds.

The atmosphere in those two days must have been quite lively. Celebrating the festival with fans, their task is quite heavy.

"These are the more important stage performances. I will talk about other solo itineraries in advance. You should start preparing first."

Finally, Lee Seung-hwan clapped his hands and made a conclusion.

In fact, he could also see that the atmosphere in the EXO team was a bit dignified during this period, but these were all arranged by the company, and Lee Seung-hwan couldn't say anything.

However, in his opinion, there is competition among members, and it is a good thing to have a strong sense of victory and dedication.

"Inside."

"Got it, brother."

The members responded one after another, and then under the guidance and supervision of the dance teacher, they began to prepare for contact.

When he was active in Asia, he was an actor, and he didn't need to perform on stage. He just sang two songs in fan meetings from time to time.

Counting the previous filming time, Chi Jingyuan hadn't danced for more than half a month, and when he moved his body again, he felt slightly jerky for a while.

However, the unfamiliarity only lasted for a short while, and he entered the state not long after.

The task is still relatively heavy. Fortunately, there are only one or two songs on the stage. The key is that there are really many songs in the concert, and it takes a lot of time to go through them from beginning to end.

Fortunately, as Lee Seung-hwan said, they have practiced all the songs and dances for the concert for a long time before, this time they just need to review, and it is enough to go to the venue in advance to familiarize themselves with the positions.

But to put it simply, he must have to work overtime these days.

…………

After dancing for more than an hour, the members paused for a while out of breath, took a bottle of water and sat there to drink it.

"Our group show has already aired, Jing Yuan, have you watched it?"

The group of three in the dormitory sat and chatted together, and while talking, Wu Shixun suddenly mentioned the group drama that was filmed before.

Their EXO group variety show "EXO's showtime" was officially broadcast on MBC at the end of November. Chi Jingyuan watched the premiere of the first episode before leaving the peninsula.

"I only watched the first episode, and I have no time to watch it due to my busy schedule. How about the comments?"

Chi Jingyuan swallowed the water in his mouth, and looked at the other party with his eyes propped up.
