l office building in Sinsa-dong, Seoul. After performing and chatting, the signing session has been ongoing for over half an hour now.From the trailer to the MV release, and then the official release..."Clean up and prepare to transition."

PD gave a call, and all the staff began to pack up. They loaded all the shooting equipment and cameras into boxes, ready to leave.

The amount and shots required for this location have been completed. The remaining parts need to be shot at a different set, in the already built photography studio.

The members, who were temporarily off duty, all let out a sigh of relief. They had just danced to "Wolf" non-stop for ten times and everyone was too exhausted to even speak. After taking the water passed by the assistant, they gulped down a few mouthfuls but had no interest in chatting. They simply tidied up and followed their manager to prepare to leave for the next location.

This building has a total of three underground floors, all of which are used as photography studios. EXO's is located on the first underground floor. When leaving, there were more people around, so they didn't take the elevator. The manager led them directly up the stairs.

They hadn't taken two steps up the stairs when they heard footsteps and voices from above. When they reached the landing, they came face to face with a group of people.

At first glance, it seemed to be SHINee's manager leading the way, followed by an assistant and five members, plus a girl who they hadn't seen in a long time.

"Annyeonghaseyo."

Seeing the people arriving, EXO greeted them. Because they were familiar with each other and seniors from the same company, the greeting wasn't very formal in private, and the other party didn't mind much either.

"Well now, Chenghuan, I heard you guys were filming an MV here recently, but we haven't met up yet. So, is it finished"

"Hey, bro, we just finished filming here and are about to move on to the next location. What about you guys"

"The kids' title track MV is just about finished, and it can be done today."

SHINee's manager clearly knew Lee Seung-hwan well, the two came over laughing and patted each other on the shoulder twice. They exchanged a few words.

Members of SHINee and EXO also took the opportunity to chat a few words.

Lee Tae-min and Kim Jong-in are very close. The two got together as soon as they met, said a few words, and then laughed together.

"Oh my goodness, your comeback styling is amazing! Especially Jingyuan, who did your hair"

Prior to this, Choi Seong-ho, who had already become acquainted with him through their participation in the Odd Olympics, took the initiative to walk over. After surveying the crowd for a moment, he was surprised and said to Ji Kyeong-won with shining eyes.

SHINee was just about to shoot their MV, and they were all bare-faced with minimal makeup. Meanwhile, EXO had just finished shooting theirs, dressed in full costume and makeup from the MV, making them stand out quite a bit.

Especially Ji Jingyuan, his rainbow hair is eye-catching even in a crowd.

"It was designed by Sister Cody, she said it would suit me better," Chi Jingyuan responded with a smile.

"Brother, can my hairstyle also be like Jingyuan's I really love his style." Cui Biaohao directly made the request to his manager, but was immediately laughed off and rejected.

After a few pleasantries, Ji Jingyuan's gaze shifted to the figure trailing behind SHINee. He had seen her when they initially greeted each other earlier.

"Brother, is this the female lead in your MV" Ji Jingyuan looked at the girl and asked with narrowed eyes.

"Inside, there's Pei Zhuhyun, a very famous trainee at the company, you should know her right"

Of course.

Chi Jingyuan tilted his head and smiled a little strangely.

Pei Zhuhyun stood at the back of the crowd, her hands clasped in front of her, her lips pursed and silent.

She was wearing a pale yellow long-sleeved shirt with black trim and straight-leg navy blue jeans. She had on a pair of white sneakers, looking very youthful.

When she first saw EXO, she was slightly surprised. After they walked in, when she saw Ji-sung's face and his hairstyle, her pupils constricted slightly. Finally, when their gaze swept over to her, she couldn't help but lower her head.

At this time, P.O's head was adorned with a white baseball cap, and the center of the cap, featuring a silly-looking Pikachu, stood out remarkably.

Feeling the gaze of Ji Jingyuan on her, Pei Zhuxuan lowered her head but still felt a strange sensation. She bit her lower lip and her right foot nervously tapped lightly on the floor.

Qi Jingyuan only glanced for two seconds, then shifted his gaze, but inwardly he couldn't help but chuckle.

This practice student's senior this time felt completely different from before. Ji Jingyuan could no longer feel any emotions similar to dislike in her gaze.

On the contrary, there are some other, more complex sensory experiences.

Chi Jingyuan could obviously feel that the other person's gaze had been fixed on him before he looked over.

After he looked over, the other person lowered their head, with a slightly evasive air.

Why was he avoiding Chi Jingyuan Of course, it was obvious his duck had betrayed him, proudly wearing it on the other's head. With a foolish but provocative gaze, it kept staring at him.

In two days, I'll take it back and throw it in the washing machine. Chi Jingyuan made up his mind.

But, this senior really looks good wearing that hat…

"Then we'll go first, bro. You guys fight."

After a brief chat, both parties still had business to attend to, so they bid each other farewell.

EXO continued going upstairs, while SHINee went downstairs.

Chi Jingyuan didn't know when he had walked to the end of the queue. As he was about to reach the next floor and leave the staircase, he seemed to have suddenly remembered something. He turned his head sideways and looked down.

It was just an accidental glance, but the gaze pierced through the gaps in the stairwell like an arrow, landing perfectly on (裴珠泫)'s eyes that were currently looking upward.

Their gazes met for a fleeting second on the stairs, and then Bae Joo-hyun quickly looked away and hurried out of the stairwell.

Her steps were hurried, as if something monstrous was chasing her.

…………

Several versions of the MV were filmed for nearly a month, and it wasn't until early April that everything was finally finished. The biggest challenge in preparing for this comeback album has always been 《Wolf》, but now its preparations are also complete.

The recording work for the twelve songs of the debut album has also been completed.

To catch up on the schedule, the four main vocalists LINE, plus the hidden vocal Ji-yeong, were working really hard. Most of the song's vocal parts were sung by them. The recording studio had strict requirements for various turns and high notes, so they often recorded for half a day. Some days their voices were a little hoarse.

Those dancers like Wu Shi-hsuan or Kim Jong-in can't possibly understand this kind of hardship. These members barely have a few lines, each song only has one or two parts, and then they just follow along with “oh,” “wu” and so on.

After recording all the songs, Ji Jingyuan also had his own evaluation of the twelve songs in the original album.

Chi Jingyuan doesn't really have much of a feeling about the title track. Among all the songs included in the album, his favorite isn't the title track but "Butterfly Girl". He thinks both the melody and the overall style of the song are great.

And the main track "Wolf" is a pure dance song, listening to it on its own it's really average, and even a bit strange. The chorus has a slight sense of piecing together that's characteristic of ** songs.

However, the dance is indeed very good-looking and adds a lot of color to this title track.

The lead song's strengths and weaknesses are very obvious. As for its performance, Ji Jingyuan can't predict it either; we'll just have to wait and see after the comeback.

No matter what, EXO's comeback album preparations are already nearing completion.
