data up to last week, EXO's debut mini album "MAMA" has sold a total of 236,680 copies, with the EXO-K version selling 182,385 copies and the EXO-M version selling 54,295 copies."... Sales exceeded e...After the SBS Inkigayo broadcast on April 8th, in the backstage resting room. 。"Jia, I finally feel like a real artist now. " 。Do Kyung Soo sat down on the bench, looking exhausted. 。
They got up early and went to a beauty salon that has been working with ** company for a long time to queue up and get their hair done. Then, they rushed to SBS TV station. After resting in the lounge room for less than a few minutes, under the urging of their manager, everyone went to different lounges to visit their seniors who participated in Inkigayo. Every time they arrived at a lounge room, they bowed and greeted them, handed over their albums, and said a lot of words expressing their respect for their seniors. Then, they were praised by their seniors and then bowed out of the room to go to the next senior.
Because Ji-yeong had the highest popularity within the group, the manager started having him walk in front, just behind the leader Kim Jun-myeon. But after two waiting rooms, he instinctively stood at the back of the line and hid behind Se-hoon, using their similar height difference to shield himself. 。
Actually, Qi Jingyuan is a rather lazy person at heart. Dancing and singing are his hobbies, he's willing and likes to do them, but this kind of torment of visiting seniors, he would still avoid if he could.
Ji Jingyuan thinks Kim Jun Myeon is really amazing as a captain. His words on the scene are very appropriate. After visiting seniors, his performance was very good. He was smart with his words, full of smiles, and polite. He deserves to be the captain.
Just finished visiting some senior colleagues and was called by the staff for a rehearsal. 。
Newcomers don't have much experience, they perform just as energetically during rehearsals as they do in formal performances. After rehearsing two songs, everyone was out of breath and quickly returned to the dressing room to rest.
Even in the lounge, I wasn't at ease. People frequently knocked on the door and greeted each other. Those sitting near the door had to get up and bow every time someone came in, and sometimes even give up their seats. 。After staying in the lounge for about ten minutes, Chi Jingyuan automatically found a corner and squeezed himself in. Although he still had to get up to greet people sometimes, his movements didn't have to be so formal anymore. 。
The advantage of debuting from a big company like ** is that even a new group can have their own private dressing room on TV.
If a company doesn't support them, many groups who have debuted for a long time might still have to share a resting room with others. 。"Jun-Myeon oppa, awesome!" Ji-Sung hid in the corner and gave Kim Jun-Myeon a thumbs up. 。"Anny" 。With a reserved smile, Kim Jun Myeon waved his hand. 。
Several others were carefully observing this resting room, their excitement at the imminent debut palpable.
"Knock knock" 。The knocking at the door caught everyone's attention. 。"Annyeonghaseyo" 。>The celebrity senior IU appeared at the door and knocked on it, which wasn't closed in the first place. She was wearing a green dress, with her long hair cascading over her chest and a flower crown adorning her head. She looked quite well. 。"Annyeonghaseyo, we are EXO" 。Just as he sat down, his butt bounced up again, and several people hurriedly stood up and bowed to IU. 。Even though they had actually met and greeted each other just a moment ago. 。
"Inside, we now need two people to go over the script with us."
IU is very busy, but she still said with a smile. 。Kim Jun-myeon and Do Kyungsoo stood up directly and followed IU out. 。This was already discussed before, and the interview script is also prepared. They just came to confirm the flow of the interview dialogue. 。"Senior IU is really pretty," Park Chan-yeol and the others said excitedly in hushed tones after going out and closing the door. 。“Up close, her skin is really good, there’s a feeling that makes you want to get closer.” 。"Kim Jong-in next to him was also smiling and commenting." 。The two whispered to each other, their faces occasionally breaking into knowing smiles. 。Wu Shih-hsien sat on the side, listening from time to time and occasionally agreeing. 。while Chi Jingyuan did not participate, he still sat in the corner taking out his phone and browsing some comments on websites. 。In a while, Kim Jun-myeon and Do Kyungsoo came back. Everyone chatted and waited for their turn to perform. 。"EXO-K is getting ready to go on stage" 。Before long, a staff member called out, and everyone immediately stood up, straightened their clothes and hairstyles, and lined up to walk out. 。
After turning several corners, we arrived at a bright waiting room. A platform for the interview had already been set up, with three MCs standing together, rehearsing their lines. Below them, cameras with flashing lights and several PDs were ready to go.
"Annyeonghaseyo" 。After the usual greetings, the six people stood in their designated interview positions. Ji Jingyuan proactively pulled Wu Shixun to the front row and then stood behind him. This was the furthest position from the MC, a spot that he, who disliked interviews, quite liked. 。
The MCs for the popular songs segment this time are IU, and Nicole and Hgura from Kara. They are all very popular idols who are trending right now, and they're dressed very stylishly.
After a series of preparations were completed, under PD's direction, the interview began to be recorded. 。"Oh my gosh!""The KPOP artists need to be on their toes! Now, a super big debuting group is about to appear! EXO-K members, welcome!""WOW!"IU read with an excited tone, then several MCs cheered together, turning their attention to EXO-K beside them. 。We are one 。"Ai ni ha shi yo, we are EXO!" With a cheer from the crowd below, a few members of Team K shouted out their well-rehearsed slogan. 。And it seemed that because of the joy and excitement of their debut, they were shouting slogans with obvious excessive force, their voices very loud. 。But Chi Jingyuan always felt a little ashamed, but now that he was an artist, he had to overcome it. 。
MC Nicole then continued, "She has been attracting attention worldwide even before her debut! What does the name EXO-K mean"
Nicole, with purple hair adorned with a headband and a white embroidered dress, stood beside IU, appearing shorter than her.
This question definitely needs to be answered by the captain, Kim Jun-myeon: "EXO means a new star coming from the unknown world. The group that is active on the peninsula is called EXO-K, and the group that is active in China with Chinese as their language is called EXO-M." 。"Ji Jingyuan hasn't really understood the concept of EXO yet, but the company is promoting it as one of its main selling points." 。Next came another round of praise, then EXO gave a brief introduction to the title track "MAMA", but when answering, D.O. directly froze, forgetting the prepared words and got stuck in the middle of his sentence. 。“Our lead track this time, ‘MAMA,’ this song is accompanied by… excellent orchestra, powerful…powerful…powerful…”Kim Jun-myeon quickly picked up the cue: “It’s a powerful voice, with a strong infectious rhythm and intense dance moves, thank you!”The crowd cheered, trying to cover up the slip-up. 。Chi Jingyuan stood at the very edge of the back row, listening to their interview with his signature smile, occasionally offering a word of agreement, acting as the perfect tool person. 。
Next, IU had Kai and Woo Se-hoon perform a segment from the "MAMA" dance, but with only D.O.'s clean vocals as accompaniment instead of the full instrumental track.
Even standing beside him, Zhi Jing Yuan could feel the awkwardness.
Originally, the EXO interview was supposed to end there, but just before that, IU suddenly said: "Recently, 'EXO.Yuan' and 'Yuan's Smile' are extremely popular online hotspots. So Yuan can show the audience a live demonstration"
Park Ji-won's mouth twitched slightly, and several members egged him on and pulled him out from behind.
As he stood before them, a wave of intense screams rose from below, along with several voices shouting his name. 。“Yuan! Yuan! Yuan……”
“Inner… thank you all so much for your love for our EXO, we will do our best to give you the best stage, thank you!” After finishing his sentence, Park Kyung-won bowed deeply ninety degrees, maintaining it for a second before standing up. As he stood up, he suddenly smiled, and another wave of screams came from below.
"Wow, no wonder it's a hot topic product smile! Fans really love it." IU stared at Ji Kyeong Won for a while and then sighed in admiration. Afterwards, Nicole spoke up to transition: "Before we see EXO-K's glamorous debut stage that everyone is looking forward to, let's take a look at the stage of BTOB, this year's highly anticipated rookie group!"The interview officially ended, and after EXO members once again greeted everyone, they returned to the waiting room to wait for their turn. 。
"D.O., how did you mess up the interview today"
But as soon as they were back in the waiting room, Do Kyung Soo was scolded by Lee Seung Hwan. It's estimated that if it weren't for the fact that they were about to go on stage, he would have exploded. He endured for a long time before finally saying, "Wait until after the performance, we'll talk about it later."
A few people didn't dare to speak. Chi Jingyuan shook his head and found a corner to sit down. 。
My first interview was a big mistake, not a good sign at all.
