Chapter 681 You Can Call Me

"Great!"

"It sounds good."

"Really good."

After the performance of "Miss You" ended, several members of Apink in the practice room couldn't help but look up and discuss with each other. Although they only listened to it once, they were already very impressed. The praise in their voices was beyond words.

The relationship between the two groups was quite good, and they were not stingy with a few words of praise.

Moreover, this song is really good. Just from the melody and stage effects, from their perspective, it is a rare and high-quality lyrical song in boy band songs.

"Ouni." As she said this, Wu Xirong looked at Zheng Enji next to her and blinked: "I feel that this song is better than yours. Is this one of the hits written by Jingyuan Oppa that you mentioned?"

Her tone was innocent and very natural. It seemed that she was just expressing her own views sincerely, and she didn't know what psychological trauma it would bring to the big-mouthed Ouni.

"..."

Hearing such a straightforward praise and dislike, Jung Eun-ji immediately rolled her eyes, squinted her eyes and looked at this too straightforward youngest member for a few times, and suddenly felt relieved, and nodded with a twitch of her mouth: "It's this song... It's really good, the combination of lyricism and rock is very good, he is really good at it, I knew it earlier..."

Halfway through, she paused, did not continue to speak, but hummed a melody that she had almost learned, and tutted her lips: "This song that combines sentimentality and lyricism so well, with EXO's popularity, it will definitely be popular... I just think the feeling and style of this song are not very suitable for summer, if it is released in autumn and winter, it may be better."

Wu Xuanrong blinked and looked at Jung Eun-ji, not knowing whether to agree or not, anyway, she kept nodding.

"Miss you, miss you..." Kim Nam-joo on the side seemed to like this song very much, and kept singing the chorus part of the lyrics she remembered. If she didn't remember the lyrics, she would hum instead. She has been humming for a long time since just now.

As she sang, she suddenly remembered something, she chewed the meaning of the lyrics for a few seconds, and looked at Son Na Eun in surprise: "Ouni, look at the lyrics and the title of the song. Could it be that Jingyuan Oppa wrote this song for you?"

Although they kept it a secret during those few months of dating, it has been so long, and there are not many secrets in this circle. The fact that Ji Jingyuan and Son Na Eun had been in a relationship has been spread in the circle, whether true or false. Of course, the members of Apink also knew about it afterwards, and many of them were told by Son Na Eun herself in private.

Hearing the group sister teasing her, Son Na Eun glared, and just when she was about to say something, she paused as she thought about her words.

You know what, it's possible...

Seeing that Son Na-eun was taking it seriously, Kim Nam-joo's expression of excitement and gossip suddenly changed, and she said embarrassedly: "Don't take it seriously, sister, I'm just kidding."

As she said that, she paused, and her voice became much smaller, barely audible: "It's been so long, I know it by thinking, how is it possible..."

"Ah..."

Park Cho-rong suddenly spoke up and stopped the mental bullying: "Stop talking, listen to what others say..."

^

"Huh..."

After the song ended, Chi Jingyuan and other EXO members stood in a row on the stage slowly, exhaled lightly, and looked down with a smile.

Presumably, compared to dance music with huge exercise, lyrical music is good in this way. After a stage, you don't feel tired. On the contrary, because of the strong response from the audience, you feel like you haven't finished singing.

At this time, the fans below the stage could no longer suppress their excitement and excitement. The cheers have not stopped since the music ended, and the emotions are extremely hot.

After waiting for ten seconds, he felt that the enthusiasm was far from fading, so Leeteuk could only stand up and start hosting. He squinted his eyes and looked at the audience and asked loudly: "What we just listened to was EXO's third regular album, the first title song "Missing You". What do you think of XO's new song?"

"Great!"

"Great!"

"It sounds good, right?" Leeteuk shouted:

"Yes!"

"Very handsome, right?"

"Yes!"

"..."

The noisy voices came, and it was impossible to hear what was being said. I could only vaguely hear a few words from it.

It wasn’t just the fans who came to the scene who answered Leeteuk. In the live broadcast room where the number of viewers had doubled, the annoying viewers were still excitedly leaving messages to express their feelings:

"I love this song. How can a boy band have such a beautiful ballad?"

"The electric guitar in the background is so cool. The style is really well integrated. I just listened to it once and it was pleasing to the ears."

"I was worried before, but now I can only say that SM still has a good appreciation level. They are really good at choosing the ballads for the title song."

"Oppa's rap is so cool!! I usually don't like those rappers' street rap, but Oppa's rap is easy and beautiful to listen to. It's much more comfortable than the recently broadcast "Give Me Money."

"It's so stuck. I quit several times and couldn't watch it. It's always buffering. It's stuck in and out. It's stuck in the comments. Are all the people in Naver dead?"

Even though no one read it at all, the comments in the live broadcast room flooded the screen incredibly fast. It was obvious that this surprising ballad aroused some excitement even among passers-by.

"It's amazing, it's really great." When the atmosphere calmed down a little, and the EXO members sat in a row on the stools brought up by the venue management, Leeteuk continued to host the next session: "Then let's start now. Let’s sit down with the EXO members and discuss the third album in more detail.”

"Let's chat."

As he spoke, Leeteuk looked around at the EXO members sitting in a row next to him, and finally his eyes rested on Chi Jingyuan: "If I remember correctly, the song "missing you" was composed by Jingyuan, right?"

"Ahhhh..."

The album has not yet been released, and some song information has not been released, but there are rumors that one of the double hits is Yuan's work. At this time, when Leeteuk suddenly heard this, Ariel immediately shouted excitedly and proudly.

"Inside."

Chi Jingyuan sat on the stool, holding the microphone, turned to look at Lit and nodded, then felt the enthusiasm below, pursed his lips at the audience, and laughed.

"I just read the lyrics book and I think the lyrics are very good, so let Jingyuan introduce the title song."

"Well, "Missing you" is a pop ballad about the passage of time after separation but still full of longing." Chi Jingyuan said very skillfully: "The title of the song 'Missing you' has two meanings, including losing. You and miss you.”

"It turns out that the song title has two meanings, and the lyrics are very consistent with this concept." Leeteuk nodded in admiration, and then looked at Do Kyungsoo next to him: "I just heard D.O. say about him backstage. I really like this song, and I heard him say that it seemed like he went through a lot of twists and turns when choosing this song as the title track, right?

"Including "Fire", there are a total of four songs that we shot MVs for in the third album this time. The original double hits were "monster" and another song." Chi Jingyuan nodded, simply Explained: "Just because we attach great importance to this third album, we were worried that the style of the comeback songs was a bit too strong, and some fans might not like it very much, so we later proposed the softer "Miss You" as the main song. "

"So that's it." Lit nodded, then turned around and shouted to the people below with a smile: "Do you like this song?"

"like!"

"Haha, let's introduce the other songs in the album. Let's each introduce one. Who should we start with? Suho, you go first..."

"Okay, so "lucky one" is a song..."

…………

"It's really quite beautiful..."

Far away in the practice room of YG's building in Mapo District, four girls in private clothes were sitting on the wooden floor. Some were drinking from water cups, while others were watching the live broadcast on their mobile phones.

They are the four members of a new girl group to be launched by YG Entertainment.

The news started to be released in 2012 and 2013, and a lot of materials were released here and there. I don’t know how many times I let the fans know, and it was not until 2016 that YG’s new girl group after 2NE1 was finally released. To confirm their debut, after a series of eliminations, the remaining four members of Kim Ji Soo have confirmed that they will officially debut in August, and the song recording matters have actually been settled.

EXO's return has been the hottest thing in the music industry recently, and this showcase is also the protagonist of tonight's hot search. As a member of a girl group who is about to debut, she is naturally fascinated by the industry. Of course, she still has to pay attention when she has time.

This time it was Jin Zhini who took the lead. They had just practiced the dance of the two title songs together. After dancing a few times, she felt a little tired and she took the initiative to stop the practice. She picked up her phone and started watching it. At the same time, she also gave it to others. Take advantage of it.

She and Kim Ji-soo are trainees preparing to debut, not only to practice themselves, but also to attract some fans. Since last year, the two of them have often posted some short cover videos and uploaded them to YouTube, because the effect is the best and the songs are the most popular. , the songs they choose the most are EXO songs. Starting from last year's "Call Me Baby", they have covered "Spring Day", "Orientation Sniper" and even "BWL". They are familiar with EXO and Chi Jingyuan. No.

"Millions of people have already watched the live broadcast."

"EXO, it's normal."

"After Big Bang's seniors, they are the most powerful. Didn't they beat them head-on last year...the popularity in the past two years is really exaggerated."

Several people were discussing with each other. Although they did not belong to the same company, and the other party had a bad relationship with the senior person who was the pillar of his company, it was obvious that they all knew XO very well.

"I think Big Bang's style and songs are better and have more personal charm. As for EXO, they are still a little too idol-like and not real enough..." Looking at the other members of EXO who started to introduce the songs included in the live broadcast on the screen, Jin Zhini was not interested. He raised his head and said his thoughts: "XO mainly relies on Chi Jingyuan. Without him, this group would not be so popular."

"Chi Jingyuan is indeed amazing...mostly handsome."

"Of course, the reality that Ji Soo Unnie personally certified is better than the camera."

"Speaking of which, Miyan was his fan when she was here before..."

"I don't know when I will meet you after debuting..."

"By the way, when we debut and meet at a TV station, if I ask him for his contact information, will he give it to me?" Just when the topic discussed by others turned to Chi Jingyuan, I don't know what came to mind. While on a errand, Jin Zhini was thinking about it and suddenly looked at Jin Zhixiu and the others and asked.

"You're not interested in him, are you? Do you want to fall in love with him?" Hearing this, Jin Zhixiu looked over differently.

"You don't want to?" Jin Zhini didn't feel embarrassed at all. She tilted her head, blinked and looked at her and asked naturally.

He is so good-looking, has a good figure, and is the most popular TOP idol. I heard that his family conditions are very good.

She is the perfect date for any female idol, right?

"Uh..." Jin Zhixiu opened her mouth, paused for a moment and then directly brushed off the question, and then asked: "Aren't you afraid of being scolded by Shanggi Oppa?"

Cui Sang-ki was their main manager after their debut and has been taking care of them for a while.

"What's there to be afraid of..." Jin Zhini waved her hands indifferently, her expression looking like she didn't care at all.

"It's difficult..." Jin Zhixiu, who had already learned the character of this sister thoroughly, was not surprised. She thought about it, pursed her lips and shook her head: "I heard from Ernie who I know that Chi Jingyuan only has good relationships with people. When we play together, it’s usually not easy to get in touch with us. Even if we ask for contact information, it’s not necessarily..."

"But didn't Victory Oppa and the others also say that he has a lot of fun, and I heard that he has dated many girlfriends."

"You can't believe everything he says...and it's just a normal relationship, so there's no bad news."

Park Chaeyoung interjected: "You don't necessarily have to wait until after your debut to ask for contact information. You can do it now."

"You can't meet them now. Besides, I haven't debuted yet, so my identity is a little different..."

"Zhini's, mom, it's not..."

"Shh!" Jin Zhini, who took the initiative to provoke this topic, took the initiative to stop the discussion among the members. She made a quiet gesture and pointed to the phone: "The stage has begun, "Monster", my favorite style in EXO history. This song is so cool.”

…

"The whole world is paying attention. EXO's third full-length album, one of the double title songs, "Monster", is officially released!"

Lee Teuk shouted loudly in a sultry tone.

Of course, the return showcase will not only include stage performances. For many fans, it has been nearly a year since their last return, although they can be seen online from time to time in programs and awards.

But for more people, the stage of new songs is what interests them the most, especially after watching "Missing", which has raised expectations and made people extremely satisfied.

Even compared to "Missing", in the previous trailer, "Monster", which has a stronger and darker style and greater changes in makeup, is the most curious.

Now I can finally see it in advance.

Following Lee Teuk's introduction, the lights on the stage dimmed, and the trailer and VCR of "Monster" began to play on the big screen, and all the audience immediately started watching it intently.

In addition to the trailer that I have seen countless times, there are also many that have never been seen before. Although the latest excerpted shots in the MV are not complete, the unprecedented novel and deep style still opened the eyes of all viewers.

At this moment, Chi Jingyuan followed the members and quickly ran back to the lounge backstage to start changing clothes. The assistants who had been waiting for a long time immediately gathered around to help.

There were one or two people surrounding each member. Although they were in a hurry, they were not in a hurry. The light white stage clothes before were really not suitable for the style of "Monster". In less than a minute, everyone changed their bodies and put on black and red outfits that were full of dark atmosphere.

Chi Jingyuan wears a long black short-sleeved sweater with EXO's logo and weird patterns tattooed on it. The inside is lined with dark red long sleeves. A pair of sleeves are exposed from the cuffs of the sweater and contrast with the dark clothing. , and underneath are dark ripped jeans paired with black face and white bottom half-blood, and the whole person's style has changed drastically in a short period of time.

After changing clothes, without even having time to take a sip of water, everyone quickly walked onto the stage in the dark, quickly gathered at the center line of the stage, and took the opening pose.

The time card was just right, and soon the VCR finished playing on the screen. The logos of SM and EXO slowly disappeared, and when the stage was dark, the music started playing.

It once appeared in the trailer, and for many people, the familiar but unfamiliar melody appears again. The eerie electronic music intro keeps looping around, lingering in everyone's ears like a seductive magic sound, in the darkness. Inexplicably, the heartbeat speeds up slightly.

The red ambient light finally lit up on the dark stage, and the dim light shone from above, illuminating nine figures clustered together very close together, some half-crouching, and some lying on the other side. On the back of a person, the combination is profound.

"Ahh..."

Amid the excited cheers of the audience, the nine people suddenly started moving to the melody of electronic music, moving in specific postures rhythmically like a whole body.

Every time they changed direction, the whole group would tremble to the beat. Everyone cooperated perfectly. The nine people seemed to have completely become one, as if a monster in the night was baring its fangs.

This extremely novel and exciting opening dance move made all the fans stare at the beginning. This avant-garde opening is unique in the entire Kpop boy group.

"Wow, this opening has a feel."

The voice came, but was immediately stopped.

"Shh."

The next second, with a drumbeat, the nine people who were gathered together instantly dispersed, and Bian Baekhyun rushed out from the back of the crowd and sang the first sentence of the opening:

"She got me gone crazy~"

Just as the lyrics said, his performance style seemed to be affected by the overall style. His movements were very large, and he seemed to be controlled by shaking his head and became crazy.

"Why does my heart keep beating?"

"You are so beautiful, you are my goddess."

D.O., Kim Junmyeon, and Kim Minseok sang their parts one by one, and the exquisite and majestic dances were performed in front of everyone bit by bit with the songs.

The song "Monster" seemed to show something different from other Kpop boy group songs right from the beginning, with strange and repetitive melodies, dark atmosphere and costumes, eerie opening dances, and neat movements.

It may feel a little strange at first glance, but the more you watch, the more exciting it is, and the more your heartbeat starts to accelerate.

Kim Jong-in was lifted up by the other two members, and after singing his part amid the surprised screams of the audience, the whole crowd quickly dispersed. Just as they gathered together, they instantly formed a "human" standing position with one person protruding in front.

Chi Jingyuan, who had not spoken since the beginning, finally appeared in front of everyone.

He danced with his hands along with the members, slowly moved to the correct position, and sang his first part skillfully:

"Don't be afraid~"

"Love is the way~"

The skillful and clear English followed the music, and his voice was slightly lowered to fit the atmosphere of the stage at this time, and the rhythm of the background sound became faster and more intense, as if it was paving the way for something. What are you going to say.

"Shawty I got it~" As soon as this part appeared, Chi Jingyuan took a chic step and directly exchanged positions with Kim Jong-dae, and came from the side to the middle of the stage, the C position at the front of the entire team.

The black short hair is exquisite, and the handsome expression is indifferent.

Facing the camera that zoomed in for a close-up, his eyes were calm and his movements were sharp. In the continuous acceleration of the extremely intense drum beats, Chi Jingyuan tilted his head towards the camera, then took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, made an invitation gesture, and with a feeling of shouting, he sang the most impressive part of everyone who watched the trailer in a clearly rising key:

"You can call me monster!"
