everyone was sweating and fanning themselves with their hands.After seeing the members of Team K walk over from the parking lot, they didn't erupt in the excited screams they used to. Instead, after a..."I'll talk later, gotta go to work now."

Upon seeing this message, Bae Joo-hyun paused her rapid typing on the screen. Her eyes twitched slightly, and after a two-second pause, she bit her lower lip and quickly retracted the text she had already typed. Watching her own words disappear one by one, her mood couldn't help but sour.

At the end, she didn't know what she was thinking about. She tapped Chi Jingyuan's name on the screen twice with some dissatisfaction, as if this could vent her anger on him somehow.

They are getting ready in a makeup room at a studio in the Mapo district of Seoul. They have a photoshoot for a magazine case coming up. With their comeback approaching, all sorts of promotional events are kicking off. These days, they've been busy with various activities to hype up the release, and while it is tiring, they know this comeback is important so they push through each day with energy and enthusiasm.

The first outfit for Jennie is already prepared, she's currently on the couch in the makeup room waiting for her members.

The smile on her face faded slightly. She glanced at her teammate who was getting ready, then continued to look at her phone, erasing the screen where she was about to send a text message. She started browsing the reviews for the newly released "icecreacake" v.

Since Chi Jingyuan just said that, this time should be able to improve the previous combination's poor situation, right

There are indeed a lot fewer people leaving mindless insults in the comments below, like last year. Most of them are praising the v-shoot, the music and her styling, etc. Looking at this, Park Soo-hyeon couldn't help but smile with a smirk, feeling very pleased. She is looking forward to their upcoming comeback.

He stared intently for a while, but when he turned the page and became distracted, a sudden voice talking in his ear caught him off guard.

"XO has indeed become a big hit lately. It seems like you can hear "Call Baby" everywhere you go. It feels kind of like the hype around "Growl" from the year before last..."

"That's right, this time anyone could see how much the company invested in xo. Just the filming of the v had so many shots using luxury cars, I was wondering where the company got them from... Do you remember when pd came in to thank yuan specifically that day At the time, I was really stunned for a moment."

"Who isn't"

Hearing a familiar name she had just been talking to, Bae Joo-hyun couldn't help but look up. She saw that it was the two dy sisters who were styling the members, whispering to each other quietly. These two unnies, she also knew, were stylists who frequently collaborated with the company and had styled Red Velvet many times.

At this moment, it wasn't just her who heard the two people's conversation. Sitting on the makeup chair, Jiang Shibaqi, upon hearing this, remained motionless but curiously asked: "Unnie, are you talking about Jingyuan"

"Yeah." Dy Kim Yuna, who was curling Ginger Se-qi's hair, and the stylist beside her exchanged a glance. Instead of keeping it a secret, they nodded enthusiastically: "Let's talk about Jingyuan xi's car again."

“I know, I know.” Son Seung Wan, who had been sitting there lost in thought for quite a while and was getting restless, quickly jumped into the conversation: “It was all over the internet before, that currently Kyung Won is driving a Mercedes-Benz coupe. It’s said to be really expensive, almost ten billion won, I heard. He was even seen by fans the other day when he went to Taeyeon sunbae's birthday party.”

"I saw this news too, it's indeed quite expensive. But for an idol like Jingyuan who earns so much, buying a car like this is normal, right Last year, entertainers ranked second in terms of income."

Ginger Sheqi habitually wanted to nod, but as soon as she made the movement, she remembered that she couldn't move while getting her hair styled. Her body suddenly stiffened. She glanced at the DY behind her through the mirror, pretending nothing had happened. She slowly lifted her head back to its original position and then smiled with narrowed eyes, seeming very satisfied with her stealthy actions.

A few meters behind her, sitting on the sofa, Pei Zhuxuan also nodded in agreement. She thought it was quite normal too.

As soon as this news came out, she saw it and even went online to check the information and photos of that SLS AMG for a while. In her opinion, the car was really pretty and quite in line with her aesthetic taste.

...and also yearned for other things…

"I saw it too, the car model is really cool."

"As expected of Senior Yuan!"

This topic seems to have caught the interest of several people, including Park Soo-young and Kim Ye-lin who were not doing anything else nearby. They joined in and started chattering away.

"Oh no, we weren't talking about this Benz." Seeing that they seemed to have misunderstood her meaning, Kim You-na laughed and waved her free hand. After feeling the gazes around her focusing on her, she spoke: "We were talking about other cars... Have you guys seen exo's 'callbaby' "

"Inside."

"Seen it before."

"Of course I've seen it, I still watched it during the public viewing time."

"At the beginning, wasn't there a row of luxury cars parked on the left side of the screen They even gave it a close-up shot." Kim You-na picked up a hairdryer and started blowing ginger Se-ki's hair to make it fluffier. Because of the sound of the hairdryer, she couldn't help but raise her voice a bit: "The Mercedes-Benz that Jangeon revealed before was also inside, but I'm not talking about that one... But the other few cars that appeared in v, they were all his too."

"What's up"

"Wow!"

A gasp went up, and Son Seong-wan almost turned his head to look. The few people beside him were also quite surprised, including Bae Joo-hyun, all looking at Kim Yoo-na. For a moment, they were all a little stunned.

They've certainly all seen 《callbaby》 . The opening car shots aren't the main focus, and on the first watch, it wasn't something I paid much attention to. But because they gave close-ups, when you rewatch it, the impression remains pretty strong. Just one look at the styling and spoiler, and you know these cars are oozing with the scent of money.

"Of course it's true, I was one of the stylists for EXO that day, and Kai's greyish hair color was done by me."

To prove her credibility, Kim You-na also specifically mentioned Park Kyung-won's highly discussed hair color this comeback, and said exaggeratedly: "When styling was being done, the PD of the v shoot even came in to express his thanks, saying that something had happened with the sponsored vehicle they had previously agreed on, and Kyung-won had helped get a car temporarily... That's when I found out these cars were his. If it weren't for the PD speaking up, I don't think even the EXO members would have known… To think Kyung-won is so low-key, he never mentioned it before…"

"After that, I specifically looked up the prices of those cars, and they were really getting more expensive by the car. The Mercedes he exposed was the cheapest... But I think Jingyuan xi also mentioned that these cars weren't his, they belonged to his brother or his family, I forgot."

The person next to me couldn't help but chime in: "I've often heard rumors in the circle that he comes from a wealthy family, I didn't expect it to be true at all. Those few cars add up to hundreds of millions, right"

"The key is that it's still hard to buy. I checked and a lot of them are limited editions, and some are clearly modified."

“Speaking of which, you can actually tell from Chi Jingyuan's demeanor that he comes from a very distinguished family. He's really outstanding. However, because he's so polite, people often overlook this fact. Even with such a good background, he remains so humble and well-mannered. His upbringing and character are truly admirable.”

People around seemed truly surprised, digesting the news. Several Red Velvet members blinked and listened intently to the gossip, while others, seemingly engrossed in the juicy details, chatted excitedly amongst themselves.

“His looks and figure don’t even need to be mentioned, his popularity is, and his family is also very good……He's definitely one of the best in the whole circle, right Anyway, I haven't seen a few who can compare to him after so many years in the industry……I don't know which girl could date such an outstanding child. Jingyuan xi has been debuting for several years now, and I feel like I haven’t heard any news about his love affair in the circle, only that he’s very popular. Several female idols have even asked me……”

"How come Didn't you forget about those Unnis who mentioned a few things to us last year, like Suzy Remember One of them said that she could tell from their eyes in private that something was going on between the two of them."

"Jjia I really don't remember, Ji Jingyuan and Suzy Bae From the 'So' era"

As she intently listened to the details about Ji-seong, Seulgi muttered to herself, recalling information she had just learned. She remembered the two DY unnies mentioning Soo-ji's name, and a twinge of unease ran through her heart.

Thinking and thinking, a nameless sense of dissatisfaction arose in my heart unconsciously. I don't know if it's because of the name Bae Suzy, or something else.

"Damn it, I thought I already knew this well..."

…………

I heard that the boxing team is holding a mid-season invitational tournament this year, but I don't know which teams will be participating.

It's definitely SKT, look at their performance in the spring split.

"The spring season isn't even over yet, but I also feel like...SKT should just be the champion if they go."

In the backstage room, the members were each doing their own things. Park Ji-sung was half-lying on the sofa wearing black-rimmed glasses and playing a game console, while beside him on the same sofa, Bian Baek-hyun and Park Chan-yeol were discussing a game called "League of Legends."

It seems like this computer game has become very popular in the last two years. Chi Jingyuan remembers that these two brothers often talked about it whenever they were in their dorm room last year. However, he mainly plays console games and is deeply in love with Pokémon and Monster Hunter, so he wasn't very interested in this topic.

"Jingyuan, stop playing video games all day! You've played those same few games for years, aren't you tired of them yet Next time we have some free time, come play LOL with us. I promise I'll help you climb the ranks." After chatting for a while, Bian Berhyen looked at Chi Jingyuan who had been silent on his right, moved over and patted his shoulder enthusiastically.

The two have recently become more and more interested in this game, and are no longer content with playing by themselves. They've started developing friendships within the exo group. Besides Wu Shixun who is basically already convinced, they’ve started setting their sights on Park Jungwon who already enjoys playing games. They’ve mentioned it several times recently.

Pool Jingyuan glanced at Bian Bohuai, who had a sincere smile on his face. He nodded briefly then lowered his head to look back at the game screen, his tone somewhat perfunctory:

"There's a chance, right"

As for what "climbing the ranks" means, Bian Berhyun has already explained it once before.

Wu Shixun couldn't help but laugh beside "Hahaha..." He had seen similar conversations and scenes many times recently.

"Alas..." Feeling his fervent passion met with an immovable wall, Bian Berxian sighed in disappointment.

Park Chan-wook laughed twice then suddenly remembered and spoke, "Oh right, speaking of which, isn't Red Velvet also..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door. Jin Mu-an, who was playing on his phone, quickly responded and the door was pushed open. The several members of Red Velvet, who had just been mentioned, walked in at just the right time.

"前輩，アニサ！..."

Five people entered, their eyes quickly scanning the room before lining up under Park Soo-hyuk's lead and bowing.

Five golden-haired kind girls in their new stage outfits, though of average height, still stood out with their charm and youthful radiance.

"Oh oh oh~ Come, Debébé!"

At a glance, it was clear that this was a visit from a rookie junior. However, as seniors in the same company, the EXO members showed an extraordinary level of enthusiasm. It's unclear who started it, but Jinwoo and a few others saw Red Velvet and immediately began cheering. They clapped vigorously while excitedly shouting Irene’s name, looking like passionate fans who had met their idols.

Just moments ago, Bian Baek-hyun was recommending League of Legends to the others. He suddenly stood up from the sofa and walked to the door. He joined Kim Jun-myeon who had already started practicing his "icecreamcake" dance moves and they both danced a little together, causing the other members and assistants to burst into laughter.

Chi Jingyuan was also amazed, looking at the two brothers. Don't say anything, although their movements weren't standard, they still had a form to them.

No, this song only came out 3 days ago, when did they learn it

Are self-choreographed dances this fast

Because EXO's fan base is relatively young and prone to impulsiveness, the members rarely interact or communicate with female idols during activities on camera. At award ceremonies, regardless of how attractive the person sitting beside them may be, they remain focused and seemingly oblivious.

But in private, many members are actually quite fond of socializing with the opposite sex. Some personalities, like those of Bian Berhyeon, are actually quite lively and playful. When facing female groups from the same company, they appear particularly affectionate and enthusiastic.

But that's also because the other party is a girl group and they were already on good terms beforehand, plus the members knew about the different relationship between Ji-seong and Seulgi, otherwise even if it was the same company, with a different boy group, it would probably be a completely different scene.

Speaking of which, this seems to be the first time Red Velvet and EXO have participated in a music show at the same time since their debut. It's also the first time that Ji-sung has accepted visits from them as a senior behind the scenes. Seeing a few familiar faces at the entrance, he actually found it quite interesting.

And when the seniors of xo gave them so much face, the few members of redvelvet also felt much more relaxed. They happily smiled and kept bowing. Park Soo-ah giggled and chatted with Kim Jun-myeon, while quickly scanning the room, she immediately focused on Jiyeong Yuan who was lazily lying on the sofa, holding a game console and looking this way.

Her eyes lingered on Ji Jingyuan for two seconds before she discreetly withdrew them, smiling as she pulled out an album and handed it to Kim Jun-myeon: "Senior, this is our new album, we hope..."

“Arasoo, why are you being so polite” Kim Jun-myeon waved his hand, directly interrupting Bae Joo-hyun’s standard greeting. He first smiled and took the album from Bae Joo-hyun’s hand, then took a single EXO album "e" from his assistant and handed it to her: “No need for you to say that, we've already listened to it, it's really great.”

"Fight on!"

"Good to see you." The five people smiled and bowed again, but Red Velvet, who had just returned to record their first stage performance, had a lot of things to do. After chatting for a few words, they didn't stay long and soon said goodbye.

Seeing the resting room door shut again, Ji Jingyuan blinked. He keenly felt that although the five members of Debebe seemed to be talking with Jin Junmian and a few others just now, their eyes kept glancing over towards him.

Except for Pei Zhuhyun, who glanced at them and quickly turned back, the others didn't know what was going on. After a while, they just glanced at them as if they were looking at some precious animal.

After briefly texting on the 16th, both EXO and Red Velvet have been very busy these past two days. He and Seohyun haven't really communicated either, which left Ji-won feeling a little uneasy in his heart, wondering what was going on.

But I suppose there wasn't anything particularly special. After thinking back a bit, Chi Jingyuan also got lazy and didn't want to think about it anymore, so he changed his posture and continued to play his game with his head down.

By the 19th, it was already nearing the end of March. Because EXO's comeback was on Sunday, the first day of the month, the timing for their last week of promotions happened to be quite good. So by this week, they were already in their third week of music show performances.

Apart from the first two days of the week where they didn't get first place, EXO has swept all music show trophies starting from "Music Bank" on June 6th until today, excluding "The Show" which doesn't award trophies if the group is not present.

Even though today isn't counted, the goal of achieving a "perfect win" for "< ! >" is still within their grasp. They have already secured eight music program first-place trophies. If they manage to sweep all first places this week, "" has a high chance of surpassing the previous record of seventeen wins set by "".

In a singing program where being number one still carries significant weight, to achieve this ranking multiple times is truly remarkable. In terms of the number one spot alone, they have completely outclassed all other groups.

If it were S or EXO, and they weren't afraid to put themselves out there, participating in a show like "The Show" where newcomers and lesser-known artists try to achieve their dreams of becoming number one, then competing with them in a completely dominant manner and winning three crowns consecutively after that, the results would be even more terrifying.
