e, leaving a few to keep the heat going. Ji-sung and D.O. dashed backstage with the help of their manager and assistant to quickly change into their EXO outfits. Their performance was just around the..."Jingyuan, how does it feel to be back on set today"

Lee Seung-hwan patted Ji Kyeong-won on the shoulder, guiding him along as he chuckled with concern.

They are currently in the backstage lounge, while members are performing an encore on stage and haven't returned yet.

"That's pretty good. The main thing is that the director and screenwriter are very easy to get along with, there's not much trouble."

Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips and after a moment of thought, he said something.

Actually, he could see that some actors in the crew were unhappy about concentrating on filming his scenes, though they didn't say it directly.

"That's great. Director Kang Shin-hyok and screenwriter Kim Eun-sook are indeed very optimistic about you. When coordinating time with the company and the crew, they were very accommodating…"

Lee Seung-hwan nodded, somewhat relieved, and then simply said a few words. He took out his notepad and, while looking at it, began to discuss the important matters: "Jingyuan, because you're filming, it's understandable that you can miss some events, but there are a few ad shoots that have been postponed several times because of your overseas shooting in LA, and the advertising company is starting to urge us."

"I understand. As long as the production team agrees to coordinate the time, I'm fine."

Chi Jingyuan said OK, then curiously asked: “Some advertisements can be done by other members, why do I have to participate”

"

Although all other members of the ad have finished filming, there are a few that the manufacturer and advertising company specifically requested you to participate in. After all, as you know, you hold considerable weight at the advertising agency.

"

"...

"

Chi Jingyuan nodded lightly. Since his debut last year, although he wasn't popular, he was favored by advertising companies and manufacturers, taking on many commercials. His image and temperament were also well-liked by passersby and viewers. After his commercials aired, the manufacturers basically saw a noticeable increase in sales.

In terms of advertising, among the idols, Pool Kyung-won should be one of the most commercially recognized and popular individuals. The other members can't compare to him in this aspect.

Many companies have asked EXO to endorse their products, and a significant reason for this is due to Park Chanyeol. Some advertisements cannot be filmed without his participation.

The three cases that are more urgent to compare are: one is the cosmetics brand Nature Republic, who collaborated with Taeyeon from Girls' Generation. The second is the endorsement of SK Telecom LTE Unlimited Energy, with Shirley and Yoona together.

"The last one is from an old friend, EXO's endorsement of the school uniform brand IVYcb this year's new ad, collaborating with a newcomer model named Seo Ye-ji."

Lee Seung-hwan looked at the notepad and introduced it in a calm tone.

"A newcomer This much hype for a newcomer Getting to film an ad with us XO right after debuting"

Chi Jingyuan just listened silently at first, but the last message piqued his curiosity.

"I guess so, this new artist's agency must have invested a lot of resources and offered some benefits, otherwise our company wouldn't agree to EXO collaborating with the newcomer."

Li Cheng Huan said naturally that with EXO's current popularity and a newcomer collaborating in an advertisement, the status of both parties was not equal.

"The 10 members will be going to Kuala Lumpur to participate in this year's MTV World Stage. So after tomorrow's music show, they will fly directly to Malaysia. Of course, you don't have to participate because of your overseas filming schedule."

"We'll be back on the 12th, and that's when we'll start shooting the commercials. Jingyuan, please get ready."

"Don't worry, Cheng Huan ge. You know me, shooting commercials is no big deal for me."

Chi Jingyuan said nonchalantly, looking completely unconcerned.

Of course, you're now starring in the top drama of SBS, the new drama by writer Kim Eun-sook, aren't you

"Hee hee hee..."

…………

That evening, Chi Jingyuan and the members practiced for several hours, rehearsing the stage for 12 people.

Although we didn't practice together for over a month, since we had practiced for so long before, it wasn't a problem after we got familiar with each other again.

The next day, all of EXO members participated in the recording of "Music Bank," marking their reunion after more than half a month.

This is also the last combined stage of 12 members for EXO's comeback with "Roar". After today, EXO will officially end their one-month promotional activities for this comeback.

"Jǐngyuán xi!"

"Nē, Anihaseyo."

"Can you sign this for me You haven't been on Music Bank the last few times, and I have everyone else's autographs. I'm an XO and your biggest fan. Roar is so cool, how did you write it"

Well, thank you.

Ji Jingyuan looked at the golden Seonghwa before him, who was sporting a face full of adoration, like a devoted fan. He smiled and signed his name on the album she had excitedly handed him.

Just now, several MCs came backstage for an interview. After the filming equipment was put away, one of the MCs, Kim So-hyun, immediately went to Ji Chang-wook's side, her eyes sparkling as she started a conversation with him.

The other members didn't seem surprised either, they probably all had to sign something too. Compared to before, it seemed like Kim So-hyeon was more genuine and acted more like a fan when facing Ji Kyeong-won.

This 1999-born little girl debuted in 2009, so she's considered a senior figure, but at this moment, she looks completely mesmerized. She keeps asking Chi Jingyuan all sorts of questions, acting like a true fan. It took a while for the staff to call her away to continue the interview.

"Jingyuan is still very charming. In the previous few periods, people also asked for signatures, but they weren't as enthusiastic about us."

"Oh, fans have different preferences when it comes to idols..."

Once MC and the staff left, several members immediately started complaining.

"Jǐngyuán, nǐ méi yào gè liánxì fāngshì"

Wu Shih-hsuan walked over and jokingly asked a question.

"Are you kidding me She's from 1999, she's practically a little girl! Why would I need her contact information Am I supposed to bring my kids"

Ji Jingyuan glanced at him, his expression speechless towards Wu Shixun.

But, speaking of those born in 1999, he suddenly remembered someone he hadn't seen in a while...

…………

"Your breath was always quick, you walked towards me."

"EXO-K!"

You're looking at me laughing, aren't you drawn to me too

"EXO-M!"

“…………”

More than half a month later, Chi Jingyuan stood on the stage again, and couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart.

Especially after hearing the loud and enthusiastic cheers from below, it felt even more so.

EXO's popularity is evident everywhere, their stage performances are becoming increasingly intense and more organized. One example of this organization is the increasingly coordinated fan support they receive.

Now that Roar is on stage, the fans have a unified cheer, and every time the members sing a line, they all shout it back together.

By the final chorus of "I Eu-Reu-Reong You," all the fans sang along, their voices echoing throughout the entire recording studio. The screams just wouldn't stop.

After half a month, EXO reunited again, and many fans were very excited to see Park Kyung-won again. Their support was especially enthusiastic.

The fans of XO stage's supporters stand out among all the artists participating in singing programs. They create a very hot atmosphere at the scene, making other fans and idols unable to help but keep glancing over.

Today, one candidate, Sunmi, is facing off against EXO. Who will be the champion who takes home the trophy

"Please announce the results!"

Even before the results were announced, Lee Sun-mi who stood to MC's left already had a wry smile on her face, pursing her lips and looking somewhat dejected. However, when the camera focused on her, she quickly managed her expression, forcing out a rather awkward smile.

This is her comeback after several years as a solo artist. Because the song quality is quite good, she originally planned to win several number one spots to prove herself and raise her popularity. Who knew that such an exaggeratedly hot hit would appear at the same time

Before her comeback, Park Bo-young watched the MV for "Roar" and thought she was a bit out there this time. Two weeks after her comeback, it turned out to be true.

This time, Lee Su-mi's title song is "24 Hours Isn't Enough," which has excellent digital sound source results. However, because it is a digital single and not an album release, her album sales score will only be 0 when she performs on music shows.

When facing EXO's powerful sound source and sales monster "Growl", they were completely crushed without any fight back.

Congratulations to EXO, for winning their third consecutive "Music Center" trophy! Hara-hara-hami da!

As expected, after MC's announcement, Lee Su-mi wore a relieved expression and started clapping enthusiastically.

After winning three crowns in a row, EXO is graduating. Next week, they won't be number one on the charts, so she can look forward to next week's trophy as some consolation.

As MC Kim So-hwan, he readily handed the trophy and microphone to Ji-sung Park beside him, a beaming smile on his face as he eagerly awaited his speech.

Chi Jingyuan twitched the corner of his mouth and passed the trophy microphone to Kim Junmyeon.

This girl is too enthusiastic and sincere, but she doesn't usually do things like expressing feelings.

In less than a month, Kim Jun-myeon's acceptance speech has been delivered over ten times. He's become quite proficient at it. As soon as he receives the trophy and takes the microphone, he begins thanking everyone, from Lee Soo Man to his assistants and makeup artists.

After the quick speeches, the idols bowed to each other and then the rest of the people went off stage.

And then, during the encore stage, EXO made a move that caused all the audience members and fans at the scene to scream.

During the Encore, all 12 EXO members lay face down at the edge of the stage in a long line, their legs kicked up behind them, one arm propped up to support their chin, and the other hand holding a microphone to sing.

The stage itself was slightly higher than the audience. When they lay down, their height matched that of the fans in the front row, making eye contact and being incredibly close. This caused the fans in the front row to cover their mouths in disbelief with expressions of shock, while screams of excitement filled the air.

Before the camera, twelve members lay on the ground, each face beaming with happy and lively smiles. Several members closer together, like Ji Kyeong-won and Oh Se-hoon, were laughing and singing while bumping into each other playfully, making it feel both funny and heartwarming.

The scene was frozen, and this shot, which would later evoke memories and touch the hearts of countless Planet Eater fans, came into being.

And this classic scene also brought a perfect end to EXO's brilliant music show journey for "Growl."
