ead 'EXO-K', 'Girls' Generation', '**Town', and 'TVXQ'. Several signs lined up, with all ** Entertainment fans sitting here in an organized manner.It feels great to have the support, even if our numbe...Ji Jingyuan found that Zhou Tzuyu was a girl with many thoughts in her heart, and she liked to show off from time to time.
"What are you doing Why are you so annoying (pout)"
His ruthlessly honest revelation of the truth was obviously unacceptable to Zhou Tzu-yu, who had become excited and a little carried away over the past two days due to the attention and popularity she received. Her reply was full of discontent between the lines.
Feeling the complaints in the text message, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but chuckle. Even though they weren't face to face, he could imagine Zhou Tzuyu frowning and pouting her lips while texting.
To him, this girl's gloomy expression seemed much more pleasant than her silly grin.
He smiled twice, seeing the staff in front of him busy and about to start filming. He was just about to end the conversation and put his phone away, but then he remembered something, stopped his movements, unlocked the screen, and sent one last message:
"By the way, don't go comforting that Lim Na-yeon like an idiot."
The reason why TWICE's Lim Na-yeon has been heavily criticized these past two days is that she didn't manage her facial expressions well in front of the camera. She appeared to be giving people the cold shoulder, and post-production even created a close-up shot specifically to play it back.
But if you look at it one layer deeper, the reason is that Pool Jingyuan favored choosing Zhou Tzuyu. It's impossible for Lin Nayeon to have no opinion on this. Zhou Tzuyu must also definitely hate her and possibly even see her as the culprit. At this point, if this girl doesn't know any better and actively goes up to comfort others with fake sympathy, she might be seen as a kind of mockery and arrogance. Regardless of whether or not it leads to an immediate fight, she will definitely start to be disliked very much in their hearts.
These female trainees' minds are each more complex than the last, especially since they are rivals.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'm not stupid."
"From this reply pool, Jingyuan realized that his judgments had been skewed and incorrect due to the closeness of the relationship."
Zhou Tzuyu is also a female trainee.
Her mind was actually far more lively and vibrant than the silly, goofy smiles she often showed in front of him.
I underestimated her.
"No more, time to work."
He sent one last goodbye and, seeing the photographer waving to him in the distance, Ji Jingyuan put his phone away and hurried over.
Because a single episode of the show led to this kind of situation, it was quite sudden. Although JYP and the production team might be delighted by the surge in attention and popularity, Lin Na-yeon who has been heavily criticized must certainly be very unhappy inside.
Zhou Tzuyu will still be participating in the show with her for a while, who knows, maybe she'll get lucky and Zhou Tzuyu will help her through the competition until the very end. After that, they'll definitely still have to live under the same roof every day, but it wouldn't do to make things too awkward.
So Tzuyu should just stay out of it, it's best to let Nayeon direct all the anger from being attacked by Elly onto the real culprit, Jiyeong.
As for whether Lim Na-yeon dislikes him
He doesn't care about these things anyway, and they probably won't have much interaction in the future…

"May I ask Jingyuan xi, as one of the spokespeople for Lotte Duty Free, what are your thoughts on this year's 20th Lotte Family Concert"
Several reporters with cameras were interviewing Chi Jingyuan. One female reporter holding a KBS microphone took the initiative to ask a question.
Today is Friday the 22nd, and it's also the day to record "Music Bank". Park Ji-sung got up early and went to a beauty salon for styling before heading to KBS and the "Music Bank" program team for a meeting. After going over today's script with Jennie Kim and doing some preparation work, he drove straight to Jamsil Sports Complex.
These days are the Lotte duty-free store's family concert days. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the 'Lotte Family Concert', the organizer has held a series of related activities. Just the concert with a large number of popular singers and groups performing for three consecutive days, with different guests every day.
Besides, there were a number of related events, and even a charity flea market was set up, making it feel like a music festival and attracting many local residents and a large number of external tourists.
The Lotte duty-free shop has many cooperative spokespersons or models, such as SJ who started in 2013 and Park Hae-jin, who is new this year.
>After signing the contract in 2014, Chi Jingyuan became one of the main spokespeople. On the first day of this event, it was definitely unavoidable for him to attend. According to the schedule given to him by the organizer, after participating in the press conference and accepting interviews, there were still two hours of interaction time with the audience present. He had to perform some simple acts and play small games to give back to the fans.
"This event attracted a large number of domestic and international audiences. They could enjoy food, performances, and purchase local specialties together. It was also a very good promotion for K-pop, and I'm happy to be a part of it."
Chi Jingyuan maintained a standard business smile, and his reply was also one he had long memorized.
This is definitely a question that will be asked, and the company has long since prepared a range of responses for him to choose from as references.
Since 2006, Lotte Duty Free has held twenty 'Family Concerts'. Last year alone (2014), they hosted three. Each event invites all artists and spokespeople who have collaborated with Lotte Duty Free, as well as popular idol groups to perform live.
Besides the local audience, the organizers most hope to attract a large number of overseas tourists, after all, duty-free shops are things that travelers are most interested in. So they will do their utmost to make the scene very beautiful.
And more importantly, watching the concert is free.
Due to various reasons, it's possible to attract a considerable number of overseas tourists almost every time.
As far as I know, a lot of Chinese fans came to Seoul this time because of you and XO. What are your thoughts on that
Another reporter asked a question, and surprisingly, it was in Chinese. Ji Jingyuan glanced at the microphone in the reporter's hand; the logo indicated that it belonged to a well-known video website based in mainland China.
“Whether as XO's yuan or Chi Jingyuan, I am truly honored to be loved and supported by so many fans. The passion of Xia Guo fans leaves me feeling overwhelmed. We will definitely give our best and work hard to bring you the best stage performance. If we can make them feel even a little satisfied, that would be the best……”
Also, I want to remind these fans that there will be a lot of people and it will be crowded at the scene. Be sure to pay attention to your safety.
The reporter, fluent in Chinese, spoke with a nod of his head. The VJ opposite him, holding the camera, continuously pointed the lens at his face, knowing that fans and viewers loved to see this, to hear this.
In recent years, a new term called "the Four Returnees" has emerged in the Chinese entertainment industry. At the same time, another term called "top streamer" has also come into being.
The birth of these two terms is due not only to the popularity of some actors in costume dramas, but also largely to the K-pop group EXO, especially Han who left last year. His current popularity is undeniable, with his fan base exploding and growing wildly. He has an endless stream of resources and endorsements, truly fulfilling the words he and Ji Kyeong-won said during their last meal together before his departure last year.
As an insider in the domestic video website circle, this entertainment reporter actually knew very well that Chi Jingyuan before him might be because he was not a local and due to reasons of his agency company and various aspects, his popularity and momentum there looked much worse than his former teammate.
But in terms of popularity and fame, he is also very high, the highest tier member in EXO. In fact, he is a very popular artist and not much less popular than his former teammates.
After briefly answering a few questions, he started participating in fan activities with several other spokespeople.
It just so happens that sj is here too, so there are a few acquaintances.
Only Ji Jingyuan came to the scene as a spokesperson today, the entire EXO group did not come. They will be the finale performance guests, appearing at the 'Lotte Concert' on the last day of the 24th.
The organizers are very shrewd; they know that EXO is incredibly popular and well-known throughout Asia, with many people coming specifically to see them. They spent a lot of money to have EXO perform. If they had performed on the first day, many fans would probably have left after watching and the atmosphere for the next two days would have been noticeably less lively.
So they must be left until the last day.
After finishing his two-hour schedule, it was already afternoon. After greeting some familiar artists and the organizers, Ji Jingyuan hurried back to KBS.
……
"Tired"
After arriving at the KBS “Music Bank” waiting room, Kim Soo-hyun went over her script with Jiung again after which they entered a period of rest and anticipation. He was leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed looking rather tired. Unable to help herself, Bae Joo-hyun shifted closer on the sofa, gently poking him with her finger and whispering softly, “...."
After hearing the noise, Chi Jingyuan rubbed his temples and opened his eyes.
It's really tiring, I just finished five consecutive concerts and even squeezed in a school anniversary performance in between.
And these two days because there are two more important concert stages they need to work overtime practice, the 24th 'Lotte Family Concert' has already been mentioned, and the Peninsula's once-a-year 'Dream Concert' happens to be tomorrow, which is the 23rd.
All these big performances were crammed together, like a rushed show, and I wonder what the organizers were thinking.
Besides preparing for EXO's Shanghai concert at the end of the month, and the extremely important comeback next month, these days, Park Ji-won and the whole group have been exhausted.
After opening his eyes, Ji Changwook's neck leaned against the sofa. He enjoyed sniffing the faint fragrance of lavender surrounding him, lazily tilting his head and smiling softly at the person beside him, Park Soo-Hyun.
She is wearing a white dress with light yellow floral patterns today. The pleated skirt hem looks just like a sailor suit, while the clavicle area is sheer. These two elements together give off a feeling of both youthfulness and sensuality.
She still had a blue butterfly hair clip on her head, and with her carefully styled brown curls, it added even more cuteness.
I think since Jennie became the center, she dresses really beautifully every Friday.
池景源's gaze shifted from her crossed, white legs to the tender hand reaching towards him. He didn't answer her question but instead observed the nail art on Pei Zhuxuan's hand that was poking him with detail.
Her nails were painted with milky white nail polish, topped with faint pink star-shaped glitter, which was quite eye-catching.
He blinked and casually asked, "When was it done"
I remember the last time we met, your nails were still a pale yellow.
Seeing that Ji Chang-wook still had some spirit, Bae Joo-hyeon felt a lot more at ease. However, the topic he mentioned immediately piqued her interest.
"The day before yesterday..."
Upon hearing this, a playful curve appeared on her lips. She curled her left fingers and held them up before her eyes, admiring her manicure with delight for a moment. After briefly indulging in self-admiration, she extended her hand back towards Chi Jingyuan, swaying it slightly before him with a hint of pride: "How do they look"
He glanced at the trembling eyelashes before his eyes, which were bent like a crescent moon, and then Pool Jingyuan's gaze fell back on the small hand and nails in front of him.
Her hands are really quite small, fair and delicate, just like her. She's a bit petite too.
"Not bad," Ji Jingyuan nodded in agreement.
“Hee hee…” Unable to contain herself at his approval, Bae Joo-hyun couldn’t help but laugh. Perhaps still feeling a little unsatisfied, she leaned closer and changed her position, continuing to show him: “This was done by a familiar unni who opened a shop the other day. I chose the colors myself… Several of them were even done by me.”
She was speaking with glee, and extended her other hand as well, pointing at her own fingers: "This one, this one, and this one... I painted them all. What do you think"
"It's alright, looks the same as the one next to it."
"Really"
But I feel that the last transparent one was more natural.
But transparent has no color...
The waiting room was actually not just the two of them, including their managers and assistants on both sides, as well as the makeup artist (dy), and even some staff from the program crew were sitting in the corner of the waiting room.
But at this moment, no one disturbed Ji Jingyuan and Pei Zhuxuan's slightly intimate and somewhat mushy exchange. Ji Jingyuan's assistant didn't need to say anything, even Pei Zhuxuan's assistant acted as if they hadn't seen anything.
She actually tried to stop and dissuade him at first, but after reporting back to the main manager, she never made any further comments on the matter.
And the staff behind the show are even more so. After just filming two or three episodes, they already have a pretty good idea of why these two bring such a huge boost to the show's viewership and discussion points. They know what makes their chemistry and CP feeling so strong.
They were just a little curious, wondering if the relationship was already there before the show or if it started after they began co-hosting together.
……
After a short break, the two Cs went to several artists' dressing rooms to go over the interview scripts one last time.
Today's Music Bank was a reunion for s. Besides these two in-house CCPs, Boa, who used to be the pillar of the company and as the eldest sister, also returned on the 12th with her eighth Korean album "kissylips" to perform.
However, it's possible that due to seniority and generational gaps, or perhaps simply a lack of communication, despite having joined s company several years ago, Qi Jingyuan wasn't very close with this older colleague. Although she always greeted him enthusiastically, he always felt something was missing. They didn't interact much privately.
Of course, they all put on a very enthusiastic face. Small talk and jokes are a must.
As for Bae Joo-hyun, this relatively new junior didn't have the right to speak out of turn besides bowing her respects. She seemed very reserved when facing such a senior like Boa, just standing beside them smiling and watching Park Ji-sung chat with her. Her eyes held a bit of envy, but there was also a different kind of gleam in them.
Besides boa, shee has also returned and is naturally full of enthusiasm. They just performed on their debut stage yesterday in 《!》 and today they came to 《Music Bank》 for a song promotion.
"Wow, I'm so envious of Jingyuan. To be able to pair up with Irene like that as the center... you wouldn't believe how popular Irene was during her trainee days. Even after my debut, I still hear about her from time to time."
Shee and Ji Jingyuan have become much closer, like Siho, Jong Hyun, and Kim Kipan. He gets along well with these few people. Before the script reading, they laughed and chatted for a while as soon as they met. Kim Kipan came up and jokingly teased the two with exaggerated expressions.
"Didn't you also star in ", Chik Kyungwon glanced at the person beside him, Pei Zhuxuan, who was standing there covering her mouth and giggling shyly. Then he smiled back at Kim Kifan.
"Ah, the point is c The point is the partner! What does it mean to partner with a male idol I'll trade those three male idols with you, will you take them"
Because he was in the lounge, surrounded by his own people, he spoke more casually and started complaining as soon as he heard it.
"Hee hee..."
At that, Ji Jingyuan let out a chuckle and turned to look at Pei Zhuxuan. Coincidentally, she was also looking in his direction. After a silent exchange of glances, he shrugged: "No change!"
"Ooooo..."
At the sight of this, several "shee" brothers standing nearby immediately started cheering and egging each other on.
These guys probably don't know the real, close relationship between Ji Jingyuan and Park Joo-hyun. They are now starting to tease them constantly, trying to create a romantic atmosphere and push the two into a blushy situation.
And Ji Jingyuan and (name) were also very cooperative, acting a bit embarrassed and awkward, making the scene very lively.
After that, there's another group to interview, a rookie boy band called n.flyg who just released their album and debuted on the peninsula.
n.flyg is a newcomer band launched by FNC. Similar to their predecessors bule, they first debuted in Japan, accumulated some overseas popularity, and then debuted in the Korean peninsula. They aim to leverage their overseas popularity to promote and reciprocate domestic popularity, hoping to achieve a remarkable breakthrough effect.
It worked, but I'm not sure how the n.flyg effect works.
Speaking of fnc, they really do favor bands, from n.flyg to ble, even aoa started out as a band.
But this group wasn't that important anymore. After the other party bowed and greeted them politely, they just exchanged a few interview lines with them before leaving.

"EXO and BIGBANG, BIGBANG and EXO!"
Who will get first place today Let's see the scores...
After an hour of live broadcasting, it came to the final award ceremony. Two C-stands were on stage. Chi Jingyuan held the microphone and spoke as the host.
As of now, the main contenders for the top spot on music shows are still EXO and BIGBANG. Even though these two boy groups have practically finished their promotions, their superior popularity and slightly declining data heat, coupled with the absence of any overly strong groups making a comeback recently, means that it's still a battle between them for the number one spot.
It's just that recently, at every music show awards ceremony, when the top spot is awarded, none of the nominees are present. C sits alone in the empty space and it feels a bit awkward.
“……”
"So today's guest is... bigbang, Seungri!"
After seeing bigbang win against exo with a 1000 point advantage on the display, Park Kyung hyun cheered excitedly and clapped his hands. He also sincerely added, “We will definitely hand over the trophy to them.”
His expression was as if they had just won EXO themselves, making some Alice unable to help but laugh.
池景源's heart was truly unmoved. From number one to his current position, regardless of whether he was present or not, EXO and BIGBANG had collided countless times on music shows as the first-place candidate. Up to this week, the two groups had won first place approximately 7:3 to 6:4, with EXO still holding a slight advantage.
And now, both "Loser" and "Aiming Sniper" have fallen from the top of the music charts. This time, their comeback results are about like this.
The real competition will be next month.
At the end of the program, Ji Chang-wook and Bae Suzy each took a step forward and stood in the middle of the stage side by side. After looking at each other, they leaned against each other with their upper bodies tilted and smiled together while making their signature farewell gesture:
"Yes, then we'll part ways here."
"When I need music, live broadcast, ik!"
First released on the Traditional Chinese Novel Website away, then returning after a while.Occasionally, when Yuan turned his head to look at the pool, the other person didn't seem embarrassed at all. They met his gaze directly and waved hello.In this sit...
