nd of the year, everyone was completely exhausted."Also, I have a message for you..."Li Chenghuan's expression suddenly became somewhat mysterious, with undisguised joy in his eyes.He didn't say it di...“The harmonies between Yuan and D.O. are just too good, they really elevate the whole song. I've been replaying it countless times since the audio was released, I even feel like Yuan's 'wu!' isn't something a human could produce.”

As Alice, I'm incredibly satisfied with this song "Go With the Flow," from its melody to its arrangement and lyrics. The lyrics truly resonate with me; every word feels like something I've thought before. Many of my friends who also identify as Alice feel the same way. Yuan, the lyricist, truly understands us! It's deeply moving.

"To be honest, at first fans were upset because Winter's solo was downgraded to a digital single and there wasn't a physical album release. They criticized ** for quite some time. But after seeing the music video, they were truly surprised. The production quality of the MV is excellent, especially the scene with the sunrise in Gangwon-do, which echoes the last scene of their reality show. I believe all Planet fans watching this scene would definitely be moved to tears."

"Indeed, this ending is truly heartwarming. I cried the moment I saw it. Only those who have seriously watched their reality shows and fans who have been with them since XO know the true meaning of this MV."

After listening to "Let It Be," I felt like I was in a gloomy sky, and the only light broke through the clouds, shooting out a ray of sunset that lay on the water. The water rippled, even if my heart stopped, it could come back to life. In that moment, I saw the light in the darkness, and under the light, I saw you.

This song broke my stereotype of boy bands. I never listened to idol ballads before, but this song really made a deep impression on me. Al is really amazing, and the final harmony is perfect.

"Passerby said they really liked it and asked if boy groups would also have this kind of song"

Today is December 5th. After the other EXO members returned to Seoul yesterday, they gathered early this morning and went to KBS to record for "Music Bank". This is their first music show stage for their winter album comeback.

Pool Jingyuan was currently leaning on the sofa in the lounge, scrolling through his phone and looking at online reviews of their EXO comeback winter single, "Let It Flow."

Almost everything in sight was praise, perhaps because this song is very suitable for EXO's current state. The lyrics and arrangement have also been written into the hearts of fans. Since yesterday's release, Aelis (fans) have done a great job in their enthusiastic reviews, covering all negative comments directly.

...especially after their dreamy performance at MAMA the day before yesterday. Thanks to this wide platform and the impressive stage effects, a lot of passersby came to listen to their music after it was released.

And the melody of this song is indeed quite pleasant to listen to. Even ordinary listeners who are indifferent to EXO find it pretty good, and praises have been pouring in for a while now.

Yesterday's sound source was just released and directly topped the charts. With the support of a large number of fans like Ai Li and ordinary people, "Go with the Flow" quickly reached the top spot on all real-time music chart rankings.

This kind of result is quite normal for EXO in the past. Under the current music source rules, idol groups with a large fanbase will have their song charts swept by fans when they release new songs, leading to particularly strong initial results. However, if the song quality is average and only relies on fan streaming, the momentum will start to weaken.

However, after experiencing consecutive member departures and a serious exodus of fans, EXO's comeback with this melancholic ballad single did not disappoint as many had predicted. Instead of failing to top the charts due to the group’s overall decline, they have surprisingly achieved even greater success in terms of digital music streams, leaving many detractors feeling rather disheartened.

Although it's just a winter single, without an album release and only a week-plus of promotion, being able to satisfy and delight fans, attracting so many casual listeners and turning around EXO's reputation, achieving such a great sound source explosion – whether it's Ji Kyungwon, the other EXO members, or even **, everyone is already very satisfied.

After reading some online reviews for a while, Ji Jingyuan felt his mood brighten. He took out a chocolate bar from the bag nestled between his legs and put it in his mouth, sucking on the sweet flavor. After thinking for a moment, he exited the webpage, opened his photo album, and flipped through a picture.

In the photo, Jennie is wearing a thick coat with a hood covering her entire head. She also has a white scarf wrapped around her neck, obscuring the lower half of her face.

Just like the selfie Chi Jingyuan sent her early this morning, she stood in the same spot where they had hugged in the park before. Her body was tilted to the right, opposite of Chi Jingyuan's selfie, and she made a cute scissor hand gesture next to her head.

The starlight enveloped her whole person. Though only her eyes and half her nose were visible, her smiling eyes curved into crescent moons, mirroring the moon behind her. Even through the screen, you could feel her joy and happiness.

This was a selfie that Pei Suzy sent to Kim Kyung-won yesterday evening. He had just finished filming on set and was leaning back in a chair, resting his eyes when he received the picture from her.

At first, he was a bit speechless. Unexpectedly, Bae Joo-hyeon also secretly ran to the park alone at night and took a similar photo. However, after looking at it for a while, he saw that Bae Joo-hyeon was imitating him in a funny way, with a very happy smile on her face. The scissors hand she made was very vivid. As he kept looking, he also smiled and shook his head.

Of course, taking happy selfies is much better than just hanging out and picking your feet in the dorm and practice room.

After that night, Ji Jingyuan and Bae Joohyun only sent each other a selfie. They didn't say anything else, but it felt like they had said everything.

With a bang, the door to the break room swung open. A few people who had just gone out to buy drinks came back in, along with Berhyeon, carrying two large bags. They placed the bags on the table and began distributing the drinks everyone had ordered beforehand.

Thank you.

Chi Jingyuan took the glass of orange juice that Bian Boran handed him and thanked him. He twisted it open and happily drank two mouthfuls.

"Where's Chan-yeol" Kim Jun-myeon, holding a coffee, scanned the area but didn't see Park Chan-yeol who had gone to buy coffee with them earlier.

He met his friends on the way and went out to chat. He explained while handing out drinks, “When we were coming back, we ran into AOA. It seemed like Chanyeol was pretty familiar with their leader, so they chatted for a bit.”

"Every girl group has someone he knows, this kid really is..." For his teammate's personality and style, Kim Jun Myeon had already grown very familiar with them. He rolled his eyes and didn't bother with him, opening the coffee and starting to rinse his mouth.

Wu Shi-hsuan took a couple of sips from his coffee bottle but found it wasn't quite satisfying. He stood up, sauntered over to Chi Jingyuan's side, raised an eyebrow at him, and reached out to grab a few chocolate bars from the snack bag beside him.

He ignored Chi Jingyuan's undisguised contempt, pretended not to see it, took out two, and just as he was about to push further, Chi Jingyuan grabbed his hand open with a snap. He smiled awkwardly and gave an 'OK' gesture. He returned to his own position, laden with two chocolate bars, and ate them with his legs crossed.

"Who said only kids like this… What a shame! Chi Jingyuan gave him a glance and scoffed inwardly."

"Oh, our meal today is being criticized more and more fiercely online and by VIPs." Looking at the forum on his phone, Kim Jun-myeon suddenly sighed with some worry.

"How did it become like this After MAMA, I looked at the online opinions and they had nothing to do with us."

"Yeah, I remember when we received the award, the two members who were standing offstage were given a lot of face. How come fans suddenly started bashing them"

And also many others chimed in, the two major fan groups on the internet over the past few days have caused widespread attention to their verbal attacks, of course EXO was also the first to know about it.

Although this is a fight conducted by fans to defend them, in reality even the members of EXO themselves are a little unclear about how it started.

"He said we 'divided the pork', this year's MAMA, we won the most awards. Even though he didn't name names, anyone could guess who he was talking about." Woo Shi Hoon chewed on chocolate, dissatisfiedly pursed his lips, and then asked, "Is it still being criticized harshly now"

“It’s even more intense than yesterday, and the words they’re saying are getting increasingly harsh.” Ji Jingyuan chimed in at this point. He had always been quite attentive to online developments: “As of right now, it seems like a dead heat, not clear who has the upper hand. But I hope Ai Li wins in the end.”

"Haha..." Several members couldn't help but burst into laughter. Kim Jun-myeon looked at Park Ji-won helplessly, "No, Ji-won ah, you have to know that there are some things where you don't need to compete!"

Of course, things have already been difficult lately. If they argued and lost, the Ailis would lose all face.

Chí Jǐngyuán nodded as if it were perfectly natural, chewed on a piece of chocolate for a moment and took a sip of orange juice. He puffed out his cheeks and mumbled something before swallowing it.

At this time, Lee Seung-hwan, who had been silent all along, clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention and then spoke up proactively: "By the way, regarding S's matter, as well as the disputes among fans on the internet now, please remember not to express any opinions in private. The company will follow up and handle it."

"When Chan-wook comes back, remember to tell him..."

Okay.

A few people languidly replied.

They didn't have much hope anyway. ** and YG's relationship has always been lukewarm at best, and ** usually just ignores these kinds of things. The company would even prefer if the criticism was more intense, and ideally, that Lovey be put in a worse light. This way, they could further ignite fans' rebellious psychology and combative spirit, making them hold back their anger until EXO's next comeback, when they'd open their wallets wide.

After debuting for so long, both Park Kyung and the other EXO members are already quite familiar with their company's modus operandi.

They chatted for a couple more minutes, when Chi Jingyuan's phone suddenly received a text: "Come out!"

He glanced at the sender's face, a smile playing on his lips. He greeted the members and stood up, taking his uneaten snacks with him as he opened the door and walked out.

Just as he stepped out of the practice room, he saw Jung Eun-ji standing at the entrance of the opposite resting room, squinting with a smile and waving at him.

The break room is right across the street, they even took a picture together when they came to work earlier.

"Goodness me, isn't this the home turf of Apk, the hottest star in the music scene recently"

Ji Jingyuan walked over with a wide smile, looking like a fan meeting their idol. He stared at Zheng Eundi with a mixture of surprise and excitement, and began to act dramatically in an exaggerated tone.

"Oh, you saw through me. I have been a little hot lately."

Originally, Jung Eun-ji had been smiling cheerfully. Seeing this look on Ji Chang Wook's face, she also started to play along. She put on a show by pretending to frown and looked as if she was burdened by the demands of her popularity, even going so far as to rub her temples dramatically as if she hadn't slept well. "But even the most popular idol should make time to see their fans," she said, "After all..."

"Hahaha..." As she kept talking, she couldn't act anymore. She couldn't hold it in and burst into laughter, laughing while patting Chi Jingyuan's arm with her hands repeatedly. The other hand was propped against the wall, feeling like she was laughing so hard she might pass out or fall over.

This is already a laughing matter, what level of acting is this

Ji Jingyuan inwardly grumbled, but leaning against the wall, he laughed along with them. At the same time, his left hand gestured forward subtly.

"Is this the chocolate bar you guys endorsed" Jung Eun-ji took one out and took a bite, couldn't help but nod in approval and say, "It's really pretty good. I'll buy some when I go back."

"This thing is very high in calories, aren't you afraid of gaining weight"

It's okay to eat a little less occasionally, just exercise more. With a casual wave of his hand, Jung Eun-ji finished eating and took another one in his hand, looking like he really liked the taste.

"Wow, those two awards are really impressive! I'm curious, how much effort did your company put into achieving this"

I don't know, I probably didn't have to try that hard, after all, we are EXO.

"Ugh, the way you say that so naturally is really burdensome."

"Mi ah nei... How about today's one"

"I think it should be fine, we should be pretty stable at the top spot for the next two weeks of the chart. There aren't any too strong competitors."

That's because you haven't met us, but next week might be different.

"Tch, even if it's XO we're not afraid now!"

"So arrogant"

"Humph..."

Jeong Eun-ji ate his chocolate bar, and looked at him with a provocative and disdainful gaze. Her expression was smug, making Ji-won's lips twitch.

He knew that the quiet and gentle appearance in 《V》's MV was 100% put on by Jung Eun-ji.

A trending APINK member and an EXO member who just made a comeback are standing side-by-side by the wall at the entrance of the waiting room, each with a chocolate bar in hand, eating and chatting. It's quite a funny sight. Occasionally passing artists or staff members would curiously glance over.

After saying a couple of things, the door to the Apk lounge next to them suddenly swung open and a familiar figure walked out.

She had already changed into her performance outfit, a pink princess dress and white high heels. After walking out, she turned her head and saw Park Ji-won and the others right away. She didn't look anywhere else and moved two steps towards them directly. She smoothed down the hair around her temples and smiled slightly, placing her hands in front of her and standing there looking at them like a bird. It was clear that she came out specifically to find them.

Jung Eun-ji, with a chocolate in her mouth, smiled and gave a slight nod as a greeting. Ji-kyeong also smiled and nodded at Sun Na-eun without asking why she was there. Noticing the other's gaze on the chocolate bar in his and Jung Eun-ji's hands, he naturally offered to pass the wrapper over, gesturing for her to try some.

"Thank you." With a glimmer of surprise in her eyes as she looked at the snacks offered to her, Son Na-eun uttered a thank you. She carefully reached out and took one, holding it to her mouth and nibbling at it slowly.

It's like I don't want to finish it too quickly, afraid that there won't be any left later.

"Well, how do our singing outfits look " Jung Eun-ji looked at her younger sister in the group and smiled happily, showing off a bit towards Ji-young.

"It's pretty.... I mean, it looks really good on Na Eun." Ji-seong scanned Sun Na Eun from head to toe and nodded in agreement. It definitely looked good, In this comeback, especially the styling for their title song "LUV," Sun Na Eun was the most eye-catching one. This style really suits her.

"…" Jung Eun-ji obviously heard the meaning behind Ji Jingyuan's words, she glared at him unhappily and made a fist as a threat.

">”

Hearing Park Kyung-won's direct praise, Son Na-eun blushed and covered her mouth with a happy smile. She looked up at Park Kyung-won and took the initiative to ask in a soft voice, "Did you watch our comeback stage this time"

"Of course I watched it. Recently Apk has been very popular, a great stage, and the songs are really good too." Ji Kyeong-won nodded, naturally lowering his mouth slightly.

"Well..." Son Na-eun pursed her lips, looked up at his eyes and continued,

"What do you think of the lyrics in this song"

First published on the Traditional Chinese Novel Website's gaze, took the initiative to wave at Chi Jingyuan and walked over."What the heck, who is it..."Jo Cheon-yu, who was in full force and imposing, was abruptly interrupted. He felt a lump of air stuck...
