They returned to their respective positions. Ji Jingyuan took the water handed over by his assistant and drank two sips, comfortably letting out a sigh."Doesn't it feel good"A female voice came from...The cold and raspy "e" synthesized by the machine instantly stirred the emotions of all the spectators.

The song list and order at a concert are not random. It's not all about dance tracks; constantly high-energy performances can be exhausting. There need to be many ballads interspersed to create a sense of rhythm and flow. Usually, there is also a well-known hit by the group performed at the beginning, middle, and end of the concert to warm up the audience and build atmosphere.

The sound quality at the concert is definitely not as good as the high-definition version on music software. It's all about the atmosphere, and popular songs are incredibly helpful in creating that. As soon as the intro starts, everyone sings along - it's really amazing.

Some combinations lack a strong lineup of hits, so they can only put their best songs at the end to save the audience's enthusiasm. Last year's tour added some lesser-known songs to address this issue. But now EXO doesn't have this problem anymore. When choosing their setlist, they even hesitated for a long time because there were too many hits to choose from!

And as the title track of the mini album, "overdose", was placed right at the beginning, it seems like the atmosphere was set just as intended.

Screams erupted uncontrollably. After the amazing vtro performance and the opening of "overdose", EXO, without any reason, pulled all the audience into the world of the concert.

Next comes the song's signature handclap introduction. The nine members stand in a line, each side leaning to one side and clapping rapidly, creating an urgent and rhythmic applause that sounds like a heartbeat drumming in everyone's chest, raising the emotional intensity noticeably.

"Take everything I have and run to her."

"

Now there is no turning back.

"

"This is clearly dangerous poisoning."

This time, the hardware of the second round has also been significantly improved. As soon as the first sentence of the part was sung, the audience in the scene felt that the excellent sound effect enveloped them with a clear voice, firmly surrounding them. Every word seemed particularly real and shocking.

Ji Jingyuan stood on the left side of the stage formation, raising his head to look around. All he could see were shadows of people and silver glow sticks, just as he and the members had said before, his heart was beating very fast offstage, always a little nervous. Even when he stood on the lift platform just now, his heart was pounding, too scared to look down, worried that the lift platform would suddenly have some problem and fall.

But once he stood on stage, the moment the prelude began, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of calm wash over him. A warm current flowed through his body, pushing away the space where tension had been holding sway.

He knew that this feeling was excitement and exhilaration.

All nine members of EXO appeared wearing almost identical golden sequin jackets with white shirts and black pants underneath. In the light, they shimmered like they were wearing golden armor, exceptionally dazzling.

This shiny gold jacket might be a little out there for everyday wear, but at a concert opening, you want to grab everyone's attention immediately. You want them to see you and not be able to look away.

And it's also very fitting for the stage style of the next song.

"Soohedoctor grab me, tell me quickly."

"Love is nothing but a disease, a poison."

It's possible that the anticipation had been building for too long. From the start, the screams were almost non-stop, like waves crashing one after another. As the chorus began, EXO's skilled movements quickly formed two lines. The members in front knelt down and started another iconic "puppet control" choreography. Fireworks erupted on both sides of the stage, shooting towards the sky and driving the atmosphere to its peak. During the "hey doctor" part, the audience sang along so loudly that their voices completely drowned out the speakers, as if they were about to blow the roof off.

"touch is you, your love, this is overdose!"

"touch is you, your love, this is overdose!"

After Tao left, the nine-member choreography of "Overdose" iconic backflip was no longer performed and was changed to a single hand raise by Woo Sehun at the end.

Although the audience's reaction was still intense, Ji Jingyuan felt that this ending was noticeably inferior compared to others.

After finishing the performance of "overdoser", the fans erupted in satisfied cheers. But before they could release their emotions, the stage lights dimmed rapidly and then brightened just as quickly. The entire transition took less than three seconds, and another familiar prelude began to sound.

“History”, a track from EXO’s debut album, “MAMA”.

This song was disliked by most people on the peninsula after its release, with criticism aimed at its ugly styling and strange choreography. However, it has now become one of Ai Li's favorites. The choreography involving swaying with her back straight and hands in her pockets has even become a classic.

Only what has passed can represent the past and the things that once were. As time flows, everything gradually becomes coated with a layer called 'memory'.

> The lyrics of this song seem to also match this feeling and implication:

After wandering far and wide.

"Back to the beginning again."

It's a pity that even though fans' emotions are genuine, no matter how much they cherish and reminisce about their oppa's youthful and difficult beginnings, EXO can never go back to those days. The stages where K and the two teams performed separately have now been transformed into a nine-member version.

The six-player and twelve-player versions should be gone for good.

《hisroty》 ended to cheers, the lights went out as before, but this time it wasn't a quick transition. The darkness lingered for a moment, as if something was brewing.

"Wow, this atmosphere is really great..."

After watching two performances, Sun Seungwan fell into a brief silence. She uttered a self-deprecating remark with a look of surprise on her face.

As insiders, these artists should be very familiar with EXO and wouldn't have the same "flawless idol" filter that fans do. They also tend to watch their performances with an appreciative attitude rather than excessive fanaticism.

But the surrounding atmosphere was just too lively. The three-dimensional music and singing surrounded me, making it very dynamic. The strong and passionate cheers almost never stopped. Especially the group of Alice closer to them didn't sit down at all. They were frantically jumping and waving their luminous sticks, making her want to stay calm impossible. She couldn't help but get swept up in it.

"Indeed, they exploded right from the start. Jingyuan and the others are so popular, and their fans are so enthusiastic." She was nearly deafened by the screams of the surrounding fans. Jiang Seqi chuckled wryly. She had a glimpse into the madness of this group called Ai Li, but she still nodded in admiration: "The stage is indeed very cool though."

“Here it comes…” After a short period of darkness, a sudden golden light appeared from the front. Pei Zhuxuan beside them also reminded them in time. Several people immediately turned their gaze to look over, and at the same time, there was an exclamation from behind:

"Wow!"

On the stage, a huge screen had opened at some point. A golden and dazzling cluster appeared on it, clearly structured with mysterious patterns, like a grand golden castle door that was slowly closing.

The prelude begins, like raindrops falling on the heart of a desert traveler, deeply touching. Stepping to the beat and rhythm, EXO slowly walks out from behind the golden gate that stands open, and settles onto the stage.

The verdant glow of the ceiling formed a curtain that swept continuously, complementing the soft prelude perfectly.

The golden screen gate, green light, gentle melody, coupled with the yellowish lighting and silent exo, all these factors combined make the audience feel as if they have been transported to a vast desert, bathed in long-awaited joyful rain, chasing after an oasis that is both close at hand and elusive.

"This arrangement... the intro to this song is so good." Kim Taeyeon shifted in her seat, a satisfied "oo" escaping her lips.

The already outstanding stage atmosphere of "The Golden Country" becomes even more profound and moving with the support of various magnificent special effects.

I had the same dream again, an endless desert with no end.

A dazzlingly gorgeous city, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Unlike the stage of a singing competition, at this time Ji Jingyuan stood quietly on the stage with his members facing different directions, softly following along with his voice.

As the distant vocals came in, dozens of LED light columns suddenly extended from the stage floor, slowly rising until they were level with the members, surrounding them.

At first glance, everyone is surrounded by dazzling beams of colored lights, as if they are in a magnificent forest of light. The beams also change color with the rhythm, changing every time the melody becomes faster or slower, transitioning between light blue, gold, deep purple, and pure white. Various colors keep switching. Especially when the ceiling lighting dims, the beams in the darkness become particularly eye-catching, and the faintly visible figures and faces beside the beams add to the mystery, making them even more dazzling.

"Facing forward, bathed in light, setting out into an unknown future."

Every step will become a legend!

"The Eldorado."

The golden attire paired with dazzling colorful light pillars, this stage effect was a mesmerizing spectacle of lights and colors.

Before the audience could even exclaim in surprise, after the first chorus ended, all nine members of EXO emerged from the forest of spotlights. Following Park Chan-yeol's deep rap, the group strode confidently towards the main stage ahead, stopping on a six-pointed star lift in the center of the stage.

Six people stood at each point of a six-pointed star. The remaining three, including Chi Jingyuan, stood facing each other in a triangle in the center.

A gentle and flowing melody played, Doyoung and Jongdae sang their parts in turn, each phrase higher than the last, as if laying the groundwork and continuation for what was to come, anticipating the climax.

Soon, Chi Jingyuan injected the last bit of his strength into this continuous streak of rising K part.

"I will, to those who believe in me, prove it."

Their choice was not wrong.

Every word, every syllable, resonated with immense power as he sang. The final note soared to a thrilling crescendo, reaching its peak in a breathtakingly high pitch. He turned his head to the right, eyes closed softly, supporting his earpiece with his left hand, his mouth slightly open, lost in the intensity of his performance, delivering a jaw-dropping display of vocal prowess.

The previously suppressed curiosity, like a simmering pot finally boiling over, surged forth. It was as if a traveler in the desert, after enduring hardship and peril, had finally found their oasis, that longed-for land of gold.

As his high notes lingered, the entire ceiling lighting suddenly dimmed, switching from incandescent to a hazy blue. The whole stage seemed to be shrouded in a veil, and the center lift slowly began to ascend. The color of the lift's built-in lights matched the ceiling lights perfectly, forming a magnificent and bizarre six-sided shape.

At the same time, fireworks erupted again from the sidelines. The members standing at each of the six corners of the hexagon crouched and stood, each holding up a white incandescent column lantern that had been placed there earlier.

In the hands of six members, they danced tirelessly. Under the deep blue and cool tone, one couldn't see the members' faces clearly, but the dazzling white lights were even more eye-catching at this moment, like stars in the night, making people want to follow and explore them.

Six people circled the elevator, spinning with each stop they landed perfectly on a point of a hexagram. Every movement and wave was like starlight twinkling in the black night sky, leaving one overwhelmed and deeply moved by its beauty.

At the top of the elevator, Chikage, Yuan, and the others also picked up their lanterns and began to spin and dance with them. However, Chikage, who was in charge of the high notes, remained standing in place. He stood in the very center of the entire elevator, wave after wave singing his incredibly high notes almost unheard of, building the atmosphere of the song more and more intensely. The passionate and unrestrained screams exploded everywhere.

"

Under the same sky, under the same name.

"

Because we are one, we trust each other.

"Sail sail sail, gotta go gotta go."

"Gotta get to the Eldorado Eldorado do."

The extremely powerful drumming, the chorus of everyone singing together, and the dazzling lights and stage effects that made it impossible to look away, all pushed the stage to its true peak with Chi Jingyuan's continuous high notes. All the audience members were deeply moved and couldn't help but be captivated by it.

As a track on the recently released EP *x*, "Golden Nation" has garnered significant love and devotion from fans despite not achieving the same level of popularity as the title track, "Spring Day." Some fans even consider it to be EXO's best song.

Although slightly exaggerated, it sufficiently illustrates the charm of this song.

And its biggest highlight is the extremely moving arrangement, and the epic flavor of the song itself.

The Lost Golden Kingdom was glorious and mysterious.

A dark ending is not predetermined.

Courage and unity let us rise towards the sun.

Here lies a verdant oasis, where golden rain nourishes life.

Life is as brilliant as a song.

Even if the vast desert sands in the distance are whipped up into huge waves and sweep over,

We will overcome this again.

"In the end, we will resist the golden land of dreams."

"Sails, sails, sail! Got to go, got to go!"

Lights crisscrossed, fireworks and flames constantly ignited around the platform, intertwining with the colorful light beams in Exo's hands. On the blue stage, they presented a magnificent dream journey filled with splendor.

After the final chorus, all members raised their hands high, holding up their light beams above their heads, striking an end pose.

After witnessing this stage, many audience members and fans felt as if they had witnessed a magnificent yet tragic epic of heroes firsthand. His strength, loneliness, and greatness unfolded before their eyes, one scene after another. However, the grand narrative came to an abrupt halt with the music ending, leaving them both exhilarated and deeply moved. While their hearts burned with passion, there was also a sense of melancholy.

"Ah ah..."

It seemed as if The Golden Country’s unique and impactful stage effects had stunned him. After the song ended, he paused for a brief second, seemingly still immersed in the music and spectacle. Then, after a single second, he came to his senses, suddenly erupting into an unimaginable roar of applause.

At a glance, the audience up close were radiant with excitement, cheering and leaping with joy. They waved their glowing sticks just like EXO's colorful stage lights, their enthusiasm was palpable.

"Oh my god, Taeyeon, this song is really effective, the lighting and props are so well matched, it's really cool... This stage is better than the previous 'Overdose'."

Huang Meiying couldn't help herself, she leaned towards Kim Taeyeon and put her hand on her shoulder, shaking it incessantly, as if wanting to convey her inner passion through physical contact. She finally added with a hint of surprise: "This song is really quite good. How come I've never heard it before..."

She wasn't an EXO fan and didn't usually pay much attention to their music. At first, she didn't even realize what song was playing when the intro started. But halfway through, she was completely captivated by the amazing stage performance and immersed herself in it until the very end. Even after the performance finished, she felt a lingering sense of wanting more.

"Well, the overall effect is really good, especially the use of this special lift and handheld spotlight is really great. I think we can also learn from it for our next concert..."

Golden Taeyeon nodded in agreement. Even from the perspective of seasoned industry veterans like them, the stage for "Golden Age" was truly remarkable. Its impact directly overshadowed the performances of the two previous songs, and even as the lead track, it surpassed last year's hit "overdose" completely. Under the influence of lighting, props, and the overall atmosphere of the song, its infectious energy was far superior.

She thought this was destined to be another classic stage that EXO's fans would hype up a lot.

Especially the use of lighting and the LED pillar props, she was so impressed that she almost wanted to directly borrow them for their own concerts, even in her solo performance.

"I was speechless when I heard Huang Meiyin's last words. Disgusted, I threw her hand off my shoulder. Seeing her smiling and persistent, reaching up to touch me again, I scoffed and said, 'You don't even know about the B-side track from Exo's single album "x" released last month What have you been doing lately'"

"Hehehe..."

“So handsome, so handsome, so handsome, so handsome, so handsome…” Kim Yerim in the distance was even more excited. She grabbed Sun Seungwan’s arm with both hands and shook it vigorously, twisting her body back and forth. Her expression was sincere, just like a loyal fan girl, while Bae Joohyun endured her surging emotions, widening her eyes and watching Ji Seongwon on stage slowly approaching their location. However, the other party didn't notice them. He simply took off his golden jacket, threw it casually to the side, and went back to his place.

"Long time no see!"

"Wow, the atmosphere is still so good from the beginning."

"Do you like this song "Golden Country"

"Oh!"

After three consecutive high-energy dance tracks, Ji Jingyuan and his crew were a little tired. The nine members panted slightly, taking off their jackets and tossing them to the edge of the stage before lining up in the center to greet the audience.

After saying a few words, Bian Berhyen specifically asked about the song "Golden Country," clearly very confident in this stage. The enthusiastic response and cheers from the audience also showed that their confidence was not misplaced.

The stage design for "Golden Nation" is excellent, with perfect lighting, lift systems, and props. It's much more serious than "overdose", even the opening golden performance costume was specially prepared for this song's style. Both EXO members and the entire concert design team were very satisfied with the overall stage effect after the performance.

Still the same, today's exo-l are amazing, thank you so much.

Let's say hello first.

"1, 2, 3."

"Annyeonghaseyo, we are EXO."

Under Kim Jun-myeon's command, the nine members stood in a line, counted down, and then displayed a signature thumbs-up before bowing together.

"Ahhh…" The deafening roar of cheers was EXO-L's response to them.

"Wow, I'm a little tired from singing just now..."

Chi Jingyuan wiped his forehead and laughed, holding the microphone to complain jokingly. As Yuan fans screamed with excitement, he shook his head and continued, "The feeling of waving light sticks and dancing at the end was truly brand new...and I was so serious about it that I accidentally hit my back of the head during the countdown part."

He paused, then smiled and scratched the back of his head. "That really hurts," he said.

"Wow wow wow…"

Some fans found it amusing and laughed, while others showed expressions of sympathy.

He scanned the silver lights that covered the hills, and continued to smile as he beckoned with his hand. "Today we've prepared many more interesting performances than those in 'The Golden Kingdom', everyone excited"

"Wow!"

"Hello everyone, I'm exo's... Each member briefly greeted the audience and said two sentences."

"As Jingyuan just said, besides the performance of "Golden Country" just now, we've also prepared a lot of very interesting stages today, including some of our new songs from our recent comebacks. All in all, the stage we've prepared for today is really..."

After a round of introductions, Kim Jun-myeon started to hype up the performance: "Perhaps it's because everyone here today has never seen this kind of stage before, with symbols of spring, and even suddenly transforming into bad guys…"

"Ah ah..."

"...and swimming in the water, playing the piano in the sky, and confessing back to school..."

He didn't say a single adjective hinting at the stage, and below, a wave of excited screams erupted, clearly revealing that fans instantly knew what song's stage he was talking about.

EXO is currently on fire, with nearly every song from their recent singles and albums being loved by fans and the audience. Just now, "Golden Age" has already been so impactful, directly piquing everyone's interest.

"And there's more…" Kim Junmyeon started building suspense toward the end, “There’s one song that’s truly perfect to listen to with all of our EXO-Ls together…”

"No, no, that's enough." Hearing this, Park Chan-wook and Kim Sin-seok beside him hurriedly made gestures to stop him. The few of them caused a commotion, making the fans below scream while also starting to look forward to what would happen next.

“Is it really not okay to say” Ji Kyeongwon saw the actions of several people, a puzzled expression appeared on his face, as if he didn't know why. He glanced at several members and then looked down at the audience. After feeling the passion and excitement of tens of thousands of fans, he blinked and said straightforwardly: “Isn’t it just the title track for our next single”

The audience in the scene was stunned for a moment, and the next second they were buzzing with excitement, their voices seeming to threaten to shatter the clouds.
