t I think she still needs to bow her head, does she even have 1.5 meters Besides, girls who can be trainees or debut idols aren't ugly. Looking good is just the foundation, the most important thing is...After a day off, everyone's spirits were refreshed. After the holiday, they returned to the company to start the final preparations before their debut. 。On March 31st, ** Entertainment released a promotional video for their debut song "MAMA," and held an "EXO Debut Showcase" at the Olympic Hall in Seoul's Olympic Park. Out of ten thousand applicants, three thousand fans were selected to attend. All members of EXO appeared, with Super Junior's leader, Leeteuk, as the host. 。3,000 people is already a lot, many second and third-tier idol groups on the peninsula don't even necessarily have this many people at their concerts. 。This is enough to prove that the company's initial promotion of EXO was very successful. Even before they debuted, the boy group already had a considerable number of fans. 。Of course, as a new generation male group of ** company, they are naturally popular and attract the attention of fans on the peninsula. 。When Chi Jingyuan stood on the stage, he who was usually calm was really excited, his heart beating very fast. 。The audience was deafening, reaching a fever pitch since the opening. Almost the entire hall was echoing with the name 'Yuan'. 。According to internal ** company statistics and material distribution, roughly half of the audience here are his fans. 。What remains are generally fans of the group or other members. 。The entire Showcase lasted about an hour. It started with a performance of the lead single "Hisrory," followed by group singing of several songs and then interviews while watching videos. The process was simple, but the response was very good. 。When Chi Jingyuan sang and was interviewed on stage, the cheers from the audience were truly deafening. 。The sound of the music coming from the speakers was even drowned out by the screams. 。The whole atmosphere was very lively and gave the members of the group and the company a lot of confidence. 。After the Showcase ended, they didn't have any time to rest and went straight to the airport to take a plane to Xia Guo because there was another performance waiting for them the next day. 。On April 1st, they held their second
《EXO Debut Showcase》 at the library auditorium of Beijing Foreign Studies University in Xia Guo. 。This time the process was exactly the same as yesterday. Ji Jingyuan clearly felt that they received more enthusiastic cheers in Xia Guo than yesterday at home, and the name shouted from the stands was no longer just him alone. Several members of Team M had a lot of fans, especially LUHAN. In this Showcase, his number of fans was almost equal to Ji Jingyuan's. 。Overall, the reverse reactions to both Showcase events were very good. Both the company's promotion department and planning department were satisfied, especially EXO-M, which specializes in the Xia Guo market, received a warm welcome. The popularity of LUHAN, the main push, was also very high. The resources and advertisements invested in Xia Guo have all paid off, with many program invitations pouring in. 。While the EXO-K subunit, which focuses on the domestic market, has also received a lot of attention, there are obvious problems. 。At present, the majority of attention for the entire EXO-K group comes from Park Kyung-soo, and his fan count is also far ahead of the others. The other five members combined don't have as many fans as him. 。While the company's main push, Kim Jong-in, fell far short of the company's expectations. Despite having a much higher exposure rate than others, he didn't receive much attention and remained lukewarm in the group. He even received attacks from many Keon-hee fans because of his excessive debut videos. 。But these are all pre-debut issues. The real results will have to wait until EXO officially debuts and after the release of their title track "MAMA" to see how much it will help the group. 。No matter how much a combination is promoted, it ultimately boils down to the song itself. Even if someone's charisma is incredibly strong, they still need the song as a vehicle to express their charm and for the audience to experience it. 。
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's already April 7th.
Tomorrow is the day of their debut, and the members didn't have much enthusiasm for practicing today. A few people from EXO-K were sitting in the practice room, chatting here and there. 。
EXO-M has already left and flew to China, they will officially debut at the Music Billboard Annual Ceremony in China tomorrow. Meanwhile, K team will debut at the same time on SBS Inkigayo.
A combination of two sub-units debuting at the same time, specializing in two countries' markets, has to be said that this innovation has indeed attracted a lot of attention for EXO, and so far, this sub-unit effect is also very good.
To be honest, because of the upcoming debut, the team's atmosphere has improved a lot. Everyone's expectations are finally coming true. Even those who have been at odds with each other can now talk and laugh together. 。Just like the NBA, as long as you keep winning, even the biggest conflicts can be smoothed over. 。After chatting and laughing for a while, Captain Kim Jun-myeon couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and clapped his hands, calling on everyone to continue practicing the stage for tomorrow. Everyone didn't say much and got up to continue practicing. 。
There was no practice in the evening. After dinner, they all went back to their new dormitory.
A while ago, they moved out of the trainee dorms and into a new one. It's a large suite in an apartment building in Cheongdam-dong, near the company, with five bedrooms. Three people share each room, and the remaining one is for the manager.
After the rearrangement, Pool Kyung-won, Do Kyung-soo, and Wu Se-hun lived in one room, while Kim Jun-myeon moved to live with Kim Jong-in and Park Chan-yeol. 。Since Team M went to Xia Guo, the dormitory looks quite spacious now. 。"Go to bed early today, even if you can't sleep, make sure you get some rest. Tomorrow morning, I'm going to the beauty salon, and then I have a program recording at SBS." 。"Manager Lee Seung Hyun briefly explained tomorrow's schedule, then clapped his hands and smiled as he said, “Alright, good luck with your debut tomorrow, EXO will be a huge success!”“EXO will be a huge success!” Several members echoed back before thanking him and dispersing. 。
Others, like Chi Jingyuan, didn't know this, but he was truly having some trouble sleeping. He lay in bed with his eyes open, staring at the moon outside his window, his thoughts a jumbled mess.
Although he had the idea of becoming an artist a long time ago, due to his family's refusal, he didn't really achieve it until recently. To be honest, suddenly entering ** company and joining a male group, his heart was not fully prepared. 。But he still held on and made it to the night before his debut. 。He has indeed been working very hard this time. He, who is used to a life of ease and comfort, has finally managed to hold on. 。
But these are all his own choices, and the things he does are also what he is interested in, and he enjoys it.
I hope everything goes well.
He gazed at the moon outside the window, making a wish in his heart. 。
