their heads bowed. The long brims of their hats covered most of their faces, making it impossible to see them clearly.Why are you all bowing your heads, and not wearing makeupAt the end of the line, J..."There are still twelve minutes."
Yu Dingyan, who was both slightly bored and very much looking forward to it, glanced at the time displayed on his phone and uttered a brief reminder.
After finishing their practice, several girls from the group went back to their dormitory and lined up to take a shower. After washing up, they made plans to gather together and watch the new V releases by EXO and BIGBANG that were about to be announced.
Originally, Zhou Tzuyu was going to watch by herself on her bed with a whitening face mask. But after being called by Yu Dingyan, she joined the group and sat down next to the sofa.
Whether you're a girl or a trainee, it's natural to be interested in the hottest news in the industry. Big artists' comebacks are always highly anticipated, and fans typically watch their music videos, listen to their songs, and follow their social media updates. It's common practice for senior artists within an agency, like Park Jin-young or groups like GOT7, to be among the first to check out their juniors' content when they make a comeback. Typically, the company arranges for trainees to learn the choreography of these popular seniors and trending songs.
"
As for ' 咆孝' , it goes without saying that it has become a must-learn dance for all trainees, regardless of gender. In just the past few months, they have learned dances such as 'callbaby' and 'lht'.
"
What's more, this boy group peak battle has been hyped up for so long, and everyone, including them, is very interested in seeing what the two title tracks that EXO and BIGBANG, the two biggest male groups, are planning to release will be like.
"Hey, did you guys hear about what baba said this afternoon That Ji Jingyuan has been dating several people privately in a row since his debut and hasn't had much of a break almost from the start It seems too exaggerated that he started dating right after his debut, right Doesn't s company have any rules about this"
As the clock neared midnight, things were getting a little dull. A few people were just idly chatting when Park Ji-hyo suddenly remembered the gossip she'd heard that afternoon. Her eyes lit up and the conversation took an exciting turn.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tzuyu, who had just been staring blankly ahead, came to her senses and glanced at her sideways.
This kind of topic is something that a lot of girls are very interested in. If it were EXO or GOT7, just any one of them could cause them endless excitement, let alone someone like Park Seo-joon's dating life. When I heard about it this afternoon, they had already been discussing it for half the day, and even now, bringing it up again still has them brimming with enthusiasm.
"I don't know..."
Yu Dingyan was the first to speak. She looked up at the chandelier, pondered for a moment, and then, after some hesitation, spoke in an objective tone: "It seems like they are actually dating. It's normal for idol artists to fall in love, I've also heard..."
She wanted to say that she had heard from her unnie about Ji-yeong's relationship, but she swallowed it halfway through. This kind of more personal news was better kept for private conversations with close friends, not something to bring up in front of so many people.
After a pause, she added: "But I don't think baba is very reliable. He himself said that he has no private contact with Chi Jingyuan and their relationship is generally normal. Since they weren't dating in front of him, how would he know And when asked about his girlfriend, he was vague and couldn't even name her. He just kept saying things like 'I heard', 'It's rumored in the industry', which is completely unbelievable..."
"Yeah, isn't it true that he's dating several people at the same time… But what he said about Ji-won being particularly popular and sought after in the industry is probably true. I heard from a few acquaintances of mine who also said that he's the most beloved male idol in the idol world. Many female idols have him as their real ideal type." Park Ji-hyo nodded in agreement, then squeezed her cheek, revealing a curious and mischievous look: "Do you think he might have dated anyone"
“I don’t know, who could have guessed this kind of thing Maybe he has even interacted with Sunmi senior before. During the 《so》 era, they weren't always in contact, right …But recently I watched two episodes of Music Bank, and I feel like his relationship with Irene is definitely not simple. Their tacit understanding and interactions, if there wasn’t anything else going on, I wouldn’t believe it!”
“With that face and popularity, who wouldn't agree”
"I think he's more handsome than the seniors at the company... It's a pity that oppa said his personality doesn't seem very good."
"Shhh, let's just keep this between us for now. Don't mention it outside... As for what baba said, take it with a grain of salt. You can't see that he dislikes others Besides, we're not strangers to Chi Jingyuan since he was here as a judge last time. Although we didn't talk much, he seemed like a nice guy."
"That's right."
When talking about such interesting topics, time flies by. Before we knew it, it was midnight after just a few words.
"Nayeon, are you still going to watch *Bang Bang Bang* yourself" Checking the time again, Yoo-jeongyeon turned her head and asked Lin Nayeon.
Because two boy groups were released at the same time, most people voted to watch first in the voting just now. Only Lim Nayoung chose .
And even if the voting results came out, her principle of minority obeying the majority wouldn't apply. She stubbornly insisted that she would only watch 《bangbangbang》 as the first episode and had no interest in 《boywithv》.
Hearing her friend's question, Lim Na-yeon pouted and turned away, wrinkling her nose and showing no intention of changing her mind.
She had kept silent since the discussion about Chi Jingyuan started. She had even prepared to speak up and criticize him, but after listening to a couple of sentences, she realized that everyone else had a good impression of him. As a result, she felt frustrated and too lazy to say anything.
She is at the peak of her resentment towards EXO, especially Park Chanyeol. How could she possibly go to cheer for their "enemies" and boost their numbers
"Alas..." Seeing Sister's demeanor, Yu Dingyan let out a soft sigh.
Although Mingming is the oldest among everyone, he often acts childish and likes to act like a kid sometimes, needing someone to coax him.
It's midnight.
Before Yu Dingyan could even offer words of comfort, time had officially reached the stroke of midnight on June 1st. Park Jihyo's voice, fragile yet clear, pierced the silence, leaving her with no choice but to glance at Lim Na-yeon, who was already wearing headphones and scrolling through something on her phone. She followed suit, picking up her own phone and joining the silent activity.
"Let's begin!"
"Upload completed!"
"Yeye~, finally here!"
Meanwhile, in a massive number of households, the joyful shouts echoed even before anyone knew how many computers or phones were involved. In an instant, countless refresh commands were issued simultaneously on YouTube and the official pages of YG, causing the webpages to appear sluggish.
If, at this point in time, someone from both companies is late and delays the upload of the v and audio source, who knows how many people would be enraged and complain.
But luckily, they wouldn't do something so proactive as to seek out insults. After a one-second delay refresh, s's official account finally had a new video under EXO's category, and countless people immediately clicked on it.
boywithv
Some people were so accustomed to scrolling down the page that they quickly glanced at the songwriter information after catching a glimpse of the song introduction. When they saw "yuan" as the sole author in the first line, some were slightly surprised and stunned, while others wore proud and reserved smiles.
But more people simply couldn't wait and directly clicked play. After a short loading time, v quickly entered playback. The lively chatter in the sixteen dormitory living room instantly subsided.
The screen darkened, then gradually brightened. As the screen illuminated, small black text reading '2015.6.1' appeared in the bottom left corner. It lingered for two seconds before vanishing quickly.
The first thing that catches your eye is a movie theater backdrop in orange and yellow. Outside the walls, there are rows of blurry movie posters. At the same time, the camera slowly descends from top to bottom, pausing for half a second at the 'exo-l' sign, and finally focuses on nine figures facing away from the camera in front of the inn.
Although it's just a back view, fans can already distinguish each person's identity by their hair color. For example, Tzuyu, at a glance, you can see the figure with blue hair standing in the middle.
"oo~~woo~~woo~~"
At this moment, the prelude, a blend of human voices and electronic sounds, rose, warm and lively, with a captivating melody that instantly captured the hearts of all the audience.
"oo~~woo~~woo~~"
And as the prelude began, the nine figures facing away from the camera also started to move, their bodies and shoulders flowing smoothly back and forth like waves.
After two consecutive moves, everyone came to a standstill. The camera suddenly began to rapidly zoom forward, giving a close-up shot of the blue-haired figure in the center from behind.
In the frame, Chi Jingyuan turned his body and faced the camera sideways. Under a super close-up shot, most of his face was exposed to everyone's eyes without any reservation.
The fluffy and messy blue hair is very eye-catching. The air-treated, staggered bangs create a sense of volume at the forehead, revealing the natural skin tone beneath. The sideburns stop abruptly at the earlobes, perfectly showcasing the jawline on the left side.
Paired with just the right amount of softness in his facial features, this first image alone has many female fans unable to look away.
He lightly held up his left hand, his eyes smiling as he looked back at the camera. A second later, he suddenly acted mischievously, sticking out his tongue and quickly licking his own corner of his mouth. The smile in his eyes deepened, and his flowing, fresh indigo hair seemed like the sky reflected in the lake.
Oh!
"""
"Ahhhh!"
"ygod…"
For a moment, countless exclamations were born before the screen. The voices were either of surprise or envy, but more importantly, they were involuntary cries of astonishment from aesthetics and orientations being hit by Cupid's arrow instantly.
Many fans who have seen the trailer are quite excited. The turn in the trailer by Ji Jingyuan really made them look forward to it, and now seeing it in the V video is even more exciting, especially the interaction of lightly sticking out their tongue at the end, which perfectly completes the picture, almost making their hearts melt.
Making this slightly teasing gesture with k not only wasn't greasy at all, but it actually caused all the fans to feel a strong sense of astonishment and impulse after seeing it. For a moment, words like "falling in love" and "love at first sight" and ideas like that sprung up and spread in the minds of countless people.
Even though this is just the beginning of v, many people already want to rewind and watch it again.
"This is... too cool!"
In the living room, Park Ji-hyo couldn't help but exclaim with a touch of sentimentality, "Just now, that shot was truly captivating. Even non-fans would be deeply drawn in."
But after she screamed, she realized no one was paying attention to her. Except for Lina who seemed not to take it seriously and just glanced at her reflexively, the rest of them were all staring down at their phones.
At the edge of the sofa, Zhou Tzuyu at this moment also felt her eyes slightly losing focus. She had originally wanted to seriously listen to the song "boywithv", after hearing a preview version at the concert before, she thought it was very good and well-sounding. But when she saw the close-up shot of Ji Sungyoon turning at the beginning, she only felt a strong impact sweeping over her whole body and mind, making it difficult for her to concentrate on the subsequent song.
The body felt stiff and feverish, as if something was stuck in the throat but couldn't be brought up. Breathing became labored and fast, while the mind raced with anxiety.
This feeling is not the first time.
Just as I did when we last met privately, the moment I sat in Chi Jingyuan's car and turned around to see him, his eyes held that same look.
At that time, seeing the other person's stunning silver-gray hair and her profile as she leaned to the side, drinking without looking at her, still left a deep impression on her mind.
I didn't expect to have this chance again all of a sudden.
Although this time it was only in the video, it wasn't as shocking or profound as the last time we met in person.
But, some emotions in my heart have become much clearer.
What's the matter with this...
"Being curious about everything, how are you doing today"
"Oh tell, oh yeah~ oh yeah~ aya~ aya~"
What makes you so happy
"Oh, text, oh ya~oh ya~aya~aya~"
> v continued to play despite Zhou Tzuyu's thoughts. Ji Kyeong-won smiled and swayed as he exited the camera after turning around, and then, in a pink suit and pink hair, Beomgyu entered, making a glamorous opening.
One after another, members entered the stage, each with their own solo part. The pale pink outfits were paired with vibrant hair colors resembling flowers, a stark contrast to their previous music style yet captivating melodies and vocals that left the audience mesmerized and deeply immersed in the song's rhythm.
"You rowo!"
"Listen, baby. I'm soaring high in the sky (with those wings you gave me)."
"Right now, this is too flashy for me. I want to meet your gaze."
"Yeah, you're a boy with V."
As Bin's section came to an end, with his feet tapping in continuous waves, the backdrop wall on either side began to slide open. All the other members emerged from behind, having changed out of their fan jackets for new outfits. The nine stood in two rows, launching into the first chorus and group dance.
"ohyyy~ohyyy~"
"I've waited all my life~"
"Want to be with you through thick and thin."
"ohyyy~ohyyy~"
"Look for shirts."
Now I understand a little bit more.
The chorus snippet that was revealed on stage at the previous concert and has been circulating online for a long time, the one everyone is very curious about, ‘ohyyy~’ finally showed its full form. and promotion. Even Ji-sung was a bit stunned and couldn't keep up with the pace. It can only be said that he is indeed a senior figure in the music industry, and even after opening his own company,...
