wan gestured for Ji Kyeong-won to follow him, and then walked out of the practice room. The other two managers also left with them. 。"Creak..."The door to the practice room seemed to have suffered sev...Several hours ago.

After the live broadcast of the "m!" program ended, the audience in the studio left one after another, walking out of the CJ center. Hundreds of people surged out, familiar faces gathering together on the street, discussing what they had just seen during the live broadcast.

The audience members who can watch in person, for the most part, are very fond of K-pop and usually serve as frontline fans who keep up with idol trends. They also have a good understanding of various aspects of the music industry and are well aware of all the ins and outs between EXO and BIGBANG today.

Don't be fooled by the smiles and apparent camaraderie on stage. Behind those friendly facades, each person harbors their own inner turmoil, some even harboring a burning desire to physically lash out at their rivals.

But no matter how upset or troubled one feels inside, they must still smile on the surface to show congratulations. One can only glean their true feelings through subtle expressions. Today's episode was truly fantastic, it was worth coming!

And the most exciting thing was that it was Alice who was present, able to see her idol defeat them in person after all those online battles and intense hatred they had for each other. To finally see Bigbang's main face-to-face victory felt amazing, a feeling of pure satisfaction that spread through her from head to toe.

At this moment, several Ai Li were walking down a side street branching off from the World Cup Road next to the CJ Center, chattering excitedly about the award ceremony they had just witnessed.

"Oh my god, that was so amazing! It's the first time we've ever won a first place on stage together. Who knows when we'll get to be on stage at the same time as them again And I feel like even if we don't win for the next few performances, it doesn't matter because of this one."

“I also feel that the rest doesn't really matter. Besides, looking at the official schedule, BIGBANG only has a few performance stages, and XO is about to be busy with their concert too, so they probably won't promote much either. Therefore, it's the most important for them to win the first place this time.”

"I really want to see the expressions on those fan thieves. They've been calling for **S votes in fan clubs for days, but in the end, we crushed them. Kekeke, did you guys see the few fan thieves next to the results I bet they wish they could kick Key off stage right now."

"And the expressions of those Big Bang guys, haha! They're already not conventionally handsome and they try so hard to manage their expressions. It's just hilarious, I died laughing..."

"Hey, you said I'm ugly"

They were laughing when they were suddenly interrupted by a few people. They looked over and recognized them—they were the same group who had been watching the live stream with them earlier. They didn't know when the two groups had moved closer, but now they were separated by less than ten meters. Maybe their attitude was too bold and playful, or maybe their laughter was a bit too loud. Whatever it was, the few people in front had heard their entire conversation, and finally couldn't help but angrily shout.

They were suddenly called out, and several people froze and turned around. They saw the _.p_ they had just met, even having interacted with before. The group exchanged glances with a hint of sarcasm in their eyes. A girl who looked like she was in her tenth grade took the lead and smiled fearlessly: "Well well, isn't this the little flower who was cheering for our big senior _bigbang_ just now What a coincidence Congratulations to your group for making it to the top candidate list this time, your performance is really good."

They and these few .p are people from the circle who knew each other before. Seoul is small, and they've met a few times at some cheering activities. They don't get along well online or offline, but they haven't had a clear advantage either way.

But today's one, which allowed Alice to hold her head high with scorn,

"Ace, say that again You little pup, are you looking for death Do you know how to respect your elders"

"They're all from the same year. Is Jiang Dacheng and Quan Zhi Long not handsome And the senior is even worse than the junior, bragging about how good his results are every day, but he got knocked away in a face-to-face singing competition."

"Damn it..."

A bigbang fan known as Zheng Hua, after being ridiculed and insulted, lost control of her emotions and rushed forward to attack. Seeing this, the other female fans naturally wouldn't stand idly by and joined in the fray.

Because today's events already had me feeling angry and frustrated, I ran into these few idol stans. Hearing them loudly mock my idol was really unbearable, so I just couldn't help but vent.

And Ai Li, of course, was fearless as well. She's a girl in her teens, full of youthful vigor, and to be honest, you guys couldn't handle it. Who used to say online every day that Big Bang would definitely win

Who's afraid of who

It was only Zheng Hua leading the way. Although she took the initiative and was very aggressive, her combat power seemed to be a bit weaker. The few Ai Li's seemed quite experienced, with various moves like pulling hair, scratching nails, and kicking legs emerging endlessly. The shrill screams soon echoed throughout the alley, and many onlookers gradually gathered around.

And before long, the sirens arrived promptly.

……

"When are we fighting"

As soon as Kim Junmyeon spoke, he immediately caught everyone's attention. Beside him, Byun Baekhyun immediately exclaimed in surprise.

And while Keijo was texting with Nanami, he also slightly lowered his phone and looked over.

Several hours ago, right after the m! show ended, our Lily and some Big Bang fans bumped into each other on the road next to CJ center. Lily and .p, you guys know them, I guess there was some argument and then they couldn't hold it in and started fighting.

Kim Jun-myeon sat down, pondered what he had just heard for a moment to organize his words, and gave a strange and simple introduction: “Not long after, the police took me back. It wasn't a big deal at first. The reason I'm here now is because reporters got wind of the news and started spreading rumors online, and then the company found out.”

"Oh..."

A few people nodded in understanding.

How was the fight Were any fans injured on either side

Chi Jingyuan blinked and asked the most crucial question, then paused for a moment before adding: "Who won"

Although she's not a fan of .p, deep down she's just a ten-year-old girl. Even though she doesn't support them, she likes to bash them online every day. However, Ji Jingyuan hopes that she won't get hurt because of this.

However, from his point of view, he definitely wouldn't want Alice to be at a disadvantage.

"Cheng Huanguo said that there's nothing serious, just a common skin injury. And it was confirmed that the other party made the first move. The main reason is that our group and Big Bang are very popular recently, and this incident today has given some media an opportunity to hype things up and gain attention."

Jin Jun-mian knew what he was worried about. He picked up the bowl in front of him and finished the chicken soup, waving his hand and saying: "

"By the way, my brother also specifically told me that the company will handle this matter, and we shouldn't post any related opinions on social media, or hint at anything. You know what I mean."

"Oh."

Several people responded.

As a celebrity, every move is magnified, especially what is said in interviews or on social media. This can lead to scrutiny and criticism from those looking for fault.

Like Wu Shixun, he likes to use SNS to hint at something. When Luhan left the team last year, he even expressed his dissatisfaction by changing his SNS name. Before that, when Ai Li and .p had a conflict, they also posted some ambiguous messages on it, which seemed both comforting and sarcastic. Although it wasn't amplified, it caused some controversy and dissatisfaction.

For this, the company and agent even criticized him.

And today this kind of fan fighting is really not a good thing to express personal opinions, even if the other party strikes first, once you say something that disagrees, it will give outsiders the feeling of encouraging this behavior. Moreover, this kind of fighting for fans and chasing stars itself has a very bad influence. Even though in the peninsula, chasing stars has become a culture already.

"Let's go."

They chatted for a while longer about this sudden event. Seeing that everyone was mostly done eating, Park Chan-wook clapped his hands, stood up, and prepared to lead them away.

Chi Jingyuan also stopped sending sporadic text messages to Nan, stood up, put on his coat and followed the team out of the private room. At the same time, he operated his phone and sent one last message:

"No need to say more, keep up the good work."

The other person was clearly paying full attention to the conversation, replying almost instantly. After seeing the reply, Chi Jingyuan smiled and put his phone in his pocket before walking out of the restaurant.

He still sent a familiar smiley face, but then followed up with a farewell.

"Bye bye."

……

Although the fight between EXO and BIGBANG fans caused quite a stir and even trended, it didn't seem to have much of an impact. Many bystanders weren't too fazed, perhaps because this rivalry is commonplace. Seeing these fandoms clash physically was almost expected.

It is estimated that under the company's operation, this matter was only widely discussed as a hot topic within the circle and did not have too much impact on external advertising.

No one was hurt, so it wasn't a big deal. That evening, after the parents arrived and mediated, everyone went home after a few meals.

Those few people's situation by the pool wasn't clear, but Ai Li who participated in the fight might not have really taken it to heart at all. She was even browsing online out of boredom just now and saw a few screenshots in the fan club. They were from one of the participants who recounted what happened in the fan group after returning from the police station. In the picture, the girl first explained the whole story in detail, and then proudly boasted that they, along with her companions, had defeated them as easily as BIGBANG did to those troublemakers who started the fight.

While the comments were all praise and admiration, some even expressed their willingness to take his place. For a moment, the group chat was filled with excitement and cheerfulness.

Although he was a fan himself, Ji Jingyuan actually felt a bit helpless reading these comments. He could only say that this is the pain and youth of ten generations of chasing stars, right

"Nunna, let Liu Haier down today. There's no need to style it up."

At a beauty salon that had a long-term partnership with ** company, Ji Jingyuan sat in front of the makeup table, looking at himself in the mirror and greeted Cody sister who was about to start work.

Today is May 8th, the day for recording the second episode of Music Bank. Right now, he's getting his hair and makeup done at a salon with the members of EXO. Just as Cody was about to start, he suddenly opened his mouth and spoke.

"Liu Hai'er, let down your hair Okay."

Cody sister wasn't surprised to hear this, she nodded, and placed her hand on Chi Jingyuan's head, looking left and right. They had collaborated many times and were very familiar with each other. Many hairstyles that suited Chi Jingyuan were considered effortless. After a short pause for contemplation, she picked up the comb and started working, while smiling and asking: "Chi Jingyuan, what kind of hairstyle do you like recently"

During their rookie period, the members would do whatever styling the company and Cody told them to. However, after three years of debuting, many times this kind of thing, the members already have a lot of say, and even when returning, they can express their opinions about their own styling.

But for regular styling on stage, it doesn't matter. Whether or not they listen during an album comeback depends on the company.

"It's getting a bit boring with the same hairstyle every day, I want to try something different occasionally."

Chi Jingyuan sat still on the spot, half-squinting and replied quietly: "I just don't know what effect it will have."

Cody's sister skillfully used various tools and immediately laughed, "I don't know about others, but Jingyuan, you definitely have no problem."

After laughing a few jokes, they began work. After finishing their styling, the EXO group sat in the van and arrived at KBS. After getting out of the car at the entrance, along their way to work, amidst cheers from fans who had been waiting for them with cameras for a long time, they entered the KBS building.

> After seeing her idol's handsome face, Ai was surprised. As she watched Ji-yeong walking towards the building last, a strange feeling welled up inside her.

}

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Ugh, Oni, don't you think Yuan's hairstyle kind of resembles the Red Velvet girl who just left" Alice, holding a camera, poked her acquaintance beside her and asked curiously.

"Oh, really"

…………

After arriving at the backstage of "Music Bank", they first went to the resting room with the members to put their things away. Park Ji-sung directly went to the program team's meeting room to have a briefing, and then took the script and sat down with Bae Joo-hyun, who had arrived earlier.

This is the second time we've collaborated, and both of us have gained experience. We take turns reciting our lines from the script, occasionally coming up with a couple of interesting interactions.

He was gazing at her with great generosity. Today, Pei Zhuhyun's outfit was quite alluring. She wore a cherry red ruffled blouse paired with a rose-colored bodycon skirt. Sitting on the sofa, her two white and tender legs were crossed over each other at an angle. Following the smooth lines of her legs down to a pair of pale pink pointed-toe high heels. The left side of the shoe's leather surface was in shadow, while the right side was reflective.

Although her hair was still a deep brown, it was completely different from the last time when she had shown her forehead. Several neat air bangs were carefully styled and hung over her fair forehead, giving her a youthful look. Her bright eyes darted back and forth between the script in her hand and Ji Jingyuan's face, murmuring to herself as they communicated. She occasionally smiled, raised her eyebrows, and wrinkled her nose, adding some liveliness to the atmosphere of the dressing room.

It can be seen that she is in a good mood.

Listening to the soft yet vibrant voice, a fresh scent of perfume wafted around me because she was so close.

This aroma is a subtle, refreshing scent. It's not strong, but it lingers and extends far beyond the immediate area. It doesn't just stay around you; it seems to penetrate your mind. As you inhale it, the air around you feels noticeably warmer.

Chi Jingyuan lightly sniffed, having a judgment in his heart.

This smell should be osmanthus.

"You look a bit more handsome today than before, don't you"

After the script was almost perfect, the two relaxed. Bae Joo-hyun smiled and glanced over at Ji-won, looking as if she had just discovered something, and praised him in surprise.

"She probably got a new haircut especially for today's hosting, what do you think irenexi"

Seeing her put on such an act, Chi Jingyuan also cooperated by pursing his lips, lowering his head and combing his fringe with his hand, showing off a bit smugly.

"Hee hee hee…"

Every time he took the initiative to perform, but he was always the first one who couldn't hold back his laughter. Bae Joo-hyun couldn't help but smile at him like this, covering her mouth with one hand and patting his arm with the other, looking very cheerful.

She came to work today with some anticipation because she remembered a casual promise she had made before. When she saw the other person's outfit just now, her mood suddenly became very good. She felt like her steps were lighter and more energetic. She enjoyed working and was full of motivation.

After the laughter subsided, she tilted her head and looked at Ji Jingyuan's face. Her dark eyes sparkled like stars as she earnestly praised him: "Really! You're very handsome, it suits you especially well."

"Well then...Hmm, I think Irenexi is looking really good today too, jinjia!"

"Hahaha..."

…………

"114 countries are broadcasting live simultaneously."

Everyone watch together, live broadcast, musik!

"Hello everyone, I'm yuan from EXO."

"Annyeonghaseyo, I'm Irene from Red Velvet."

At 5 p.m., the live broadcast of "Music Bank" began. After two generations' performances, Ji Chang Wook and IU appeared on camera, instantly captivating viewers with their presence.

One has fluffy, slightly messy bangs that partially cover the forehead, while the other is neat and refreshing with straight-across bangs. The different styles unexpectedly complement each other quite well.

The two of them remained motionless from the waist down, their upper bodies leaning against each other as they introduced themselves. The inexplicable harmony, the perfect match, and the pleasing sight caused many viewers to involuntarily ship them.

"Irene, do you know what today is"

"Of course, today is Mother's Day, May 8th."

The two looked at each other and began today's opening host: "That's right, so today's Music Bank prepared a warm stage program that you can enjoy with your parents. How about it, Irene, are you looking forward to it"

Facing the gaze of Ji Jingyuan, Pei Zhuxuan leaned her body sideways and exaggeratedly gave a big thumbs up, her eyes curving into crescent moons: "Of course, the best! Yuanxi"

“I’m just as excited as Irenexi,” she also smiled, giving him a sweet look. Then, Ji Jingyuan glanced at the script and holding the microphone, he continued: “There are still many exciting stages to come. So before that, let’s see who is the candidate for the first place on this week’s Music Bank Kchat!”

Today's lineup undoubtedly occupies most of the K-pop world's attention, with EXO and BIGBANG.

However, EXO came with the momentum of a face-to-face victory yesterday, while BIGBANG still didn't show up today. Maybe it's because YG and KBS have a strained relationship, or maybe they knew that they couldn't beat EXO on "Music Bank," which is more focused on actively selling music, so they simply ignored it.

Bigbang doesn't have many performances in the first place, and I don't know when they'll be on the same stage again.

kbs compared to a more formal and hierarchical system, focusing on seniority. The last group to perform was YG's senior group Jinusean. This hip-hop duo changed their featured artist this week from Park Sandara to EXID's Hani. It is said that they even hinted on SNS that next week's featured artist will be Haeyeon. There are so many different guests!

As expected, the trophy went to EXO, giving them their second number one win for this comeback of "O". Due to a significant difference in sales, the gap between the two first-place contenders widened, causing another wave of cheers and laughter from fans in the audience.

As for .p, I guess he knew the result and didn't come today at all.

After the livestream ended, after saying goodbye to the staff and having a concluding meeting, the two of them just walked out of the conference room door side by side. At this moment, Bae Joo-hyun took the initiative to say: "Are you free on the 13th"

"That day wasn't our first concert, right" Ji Jingyuan thought for a moment and casually replied.

"I'm talking about after the concert tonight." Bae Joo-hyun lightly bumped him, a hint of annoyance in her voice.

Feeling a soft impact on his lower back, Ji Jingyuan couldn't help but chuckle.

Of course he knew what the other person meant. The 13th wasn't just the first show of their EXO second tour, it was also his birthday. Baekhyun clearly wanted to wait until after the concert to ask him out for a meet-up, probably with a gift or something too.

"After it's over, we definitely need to have a meeting with the staff, and then I guess we'll have another get-together for dinner."

After explaining the arrangement, Pool Jingyuan saw the other party frown. He blinked and didn't sell anything: "But it shouldn't be too late, but I don't know exactly what time..."

Saying that, he tapped his chin.

"By the way, are you coming to see"
