ming to the office much lately due to family reasons.After the crew wrapped up filming, Ji Jingyuan's biggest task every day was gone. Anyway, there were no evening activities, so he readily agreed. L..."There are definitely differences, you might... Ani..."

Wu Shih-hsuan was just about to explain when he saw the unkind looks from his older brothers beside him, and immediately waved his hands in a flustered manner.

We don't pursue those things, we don't pursue those things...

"So, we're going to look at the overall ranking. Starting from Yuanxi, each of you should say the name of the member you think is the most handsome. Then, take turns."

After much discussion, the members decided that Chi Jingyuan, who was sitting at the very end, should begin.

Every person's expression became serious. An idol's appearance is a matter of dignity.

Chi Jingyuan's name appearing frequently is definitely the majority, so the competition is very intense. If nobody mentions himself at all, he would be really embarrassed.

"Me No way."

Ji Jingyuan, seeing everyone staring at him, nodded and scanned each member's face one by one, feigning deep thought.

When he looked over, several people smiled obsequiously. Particularly Wu Shixun beside him; he pointed at himself, then at Ji Jingyuan, and smirked cunningly, gesturing for you to choose him, I choose you, we're buddies.

Ji Jingyuan gave Wu Shixun a knowing glance, putting his mind at ease. Wu Shixun picked up the milk that the program crew had just brought and took a sip, waiting to hear his name announced among the most handsome members.

"I think..."

Ji Jingyuan hesitated for a second, under everyone's gaze, he pulled their expectations to the fullest and said: "Suho hyung, he's a very standard handsome man."

"Pffft..."

Hearing this name, Wu Shixun who was still holding a cup to his mouth couldn't help but directly spit out the milk in his mouth, splashing it onto the table and his own clothes. The startled Ji Kyoung-won and Park Chan-hanyeol on either side quickly dodged, then handed him tissues to wipe himself off.

Kim Jun Myeon was overjoyed when he heard that Ji Kyung Won had chosen him, his face beaming with a smile. However, seeing Wu Shi Xun's reaction afterward, he immediately scowled: "Hey, Shi Xun, do you have something against me"

"Annie...Brother...No..."

Wu Shixun hurriedly wiped the spilled milk off himself with tissues, while also waving his hands to Jin Jun-myeon, insisting that he didn't mean it. After awkwardly managing the situation, he sat there for two seconds before looking at Ji Kyeong-won with anger in his eyes. Right in front of the camera, he said in a tone of being abandoned: “I thought we were good friends.”

"I guess so."

Qi Jingyuan nodded at him, indicating that he was right. However, he followed up with a malicious remark: "You think Suho is ugly."

Realizing Kim Jun-myeon's gaze was on him again, Woo Se-hoon quickly shook his head and denied it, while he couldn't help but smile helplessly, giving Ji-sung a pat on the back.

"Haha..." The members next to him couldn't help but laugh as well. The atmosphere of the recording, which had previously been a bit awkward and stiff, improved considerably.

Then everyone said the name of their favorite member, perhaps because in previous variety shows, repeatedly answering this question revealed the members' scars and made them unhappy. This time, after the final tally, although Park Kyung-won came first, he only got four votes, which means not many people chose him.

Many people choose this one or that one, completely disregarding the practical implementation.

The rest of the members mostly had one or two votes. Two people who didn't want to reveal their names were now covering their faces; their names weren't mentioned at all during the previous voting round.

After asking two more questions, the screen began to play a VCR. The program team started fulfilling their promise of food earlier, giving everyone a glass of milk and a piece of fried chicken.

Members' eyes lit up, and they immediately started to eat and chat, watching the VCR.

The VCR is filmed from a first-person perspective with Kim Jun Myeon operating the camera. It features him interviewing each member, using the lens and dialogue to showcase the individuality of each person, making it easier for viewers to distinguish and remember everyone's name.

This footage was taken backstage during a rehearsal break at the Family Concert Neon Tokyo Dome Special Event on October 25th. EXO, who performed at the event, were filmed preparing for their performance.

Chi Jingyuan was unable to attend this family concert due to his TV drama filming schedule, but he later filmed a segment to be added.

Speaking of which, from his debut to now, he has participated in many family concerts over the past two years, but all the Tokyo Dome performances with the largest attendance and most enthusiastic atmosphere were missed due to various reasons, which is a bit regrettable.

Time was almost up, and after happily finishing his fried chicken and milk, Ji Jingyuan wiped his mouth, clapped his hands and bid farewell to the members and staff. He got into the nanny car with Park Bo-gum and his assistant, heading toward the set of "The Heirs".

Having to prepare for a new album and the awards ceremony stage is quite fulfilling, especially the MAMA stage preparation. The company clearly has high hopes for EXO's comeback this time, the choreographer and stage design are very thoughtful, and after practicing the new choreography for this special stage, Kyungsoo felt it was great and he's looking forward to the stage effect a lot.

Just like the other members, he also has an undisguised desire for the grand prize at the awards ceremony because EXO's chances of winning are really high.

With the recent surge in viewership ratings for his television dramas, despite being incredibly busy and tired lately, he's actually in a pretty good mood.

…………

"Jingyuan, your arm movements, and the wave of your shoulders could be a little bigger."

"..."

"A few hops, landing with a crispness, and make sure your legs have enough power."

"That's it."

Chi Jingyuan finished a practice session, listening attentively to his dance teacher's advice and guidance.

He is currently in the company's practice room, practicing for MAMA's special stage soon.

After finishing filming this evening, he rushed back to the company. However, the other 11 EXO members all went to Busan for a schedule today and are unlikely to be back tonight. So he is preparing a special stage with the help of a dance teacher by himself.

This time on the MAMA special stage, he and Luhan were the lead dancers and center of their respective teams, considered the most crucial two people. They not only had solo performances but also had exclusive dance moves during the group dances.

And this time, it's also a challenge for Ji-seong, who wasn't considered very strong in dancing when he debuted. However, after so many years of practice, he has made great progress. This MAMA is another test of his stage presence.

"The continuous nodding motion is well done, you have good power behind it. However, I think the expression needs to be more exaggerated, preferably with a sense of allure, and it should be expressed in a lively and natural way."

"This time your choreography is more intense, so your styling should match this style, a little more exaggerated. Therefore, the expression coordination is very important for the overall effect of the stage."

"Okay, thanks big brother, I'll try again."

Under the guidance of the dance teacher, Chi Jingyuan gradually corrected his movements and expressions, becoming more proficient in dancing and his performance increasingly met the desired effect.

"

Well done.

"

"Good to see you."

After he finished eating and returned to the company, he kept practicing. In a blink of an eye, several hours passed. When it was almost eleven o'clock, he bowed to the dance teacher in gratitude and said goodbye, tidied up and prepared to return to the dormitory.

Recently, EXO members don't usually leave work until 2 or 3 in the morning. However, all of them are absent today. Since he practiced dancing for several hours and is quite tired, he decided to go back now and take advantage of this time to review his schoolwork.

At this point in time, there weren't many people left at the company. Apart from EXO's practice room, which had lights on thanks to Park Ji-yeong, all the other rooms belonging to already debuted groups were pitch black.

Excluding employees who stayed late at the company and security guards, those who were still at the company at this time were basically just trainees who came in for extra practice.

Having packed up his things, Chi Jingyuan donned a baseball cap and slung a shoulder bag over his shoulder as he left the practice room and stepped into the elevator.

Just as Chi Jingyuan stepped out of the elevator on the first floor and headed towards the side door, he bumped into an unexpected figure at a corner after just a few steps.
