ve Lee Tae-ri", and I didn't have many lines.""Hearing this drama title, Ji Jingyuan's expression was strange."He's really familiar with this show, it's the tvN drama that aired after their 《Please An...Because the door to the lounge was closed, it was impossible to hear what was going on, but the loud noises still caught the attention of everyone inside. Several members of Red Velvet were curious but didn't want to go out and see, while several members of EXO didn't care at all. Jin Jeamin and Beon Baekhyun and a few others stood up from the couch and walked straight out the door. Two assistants from XO quickly followed behind.

Although Chi Jingyuan was curious, he didn't think it was a big deal and was too lazy to move. He figured he would know soon enough anyway.

A few minutes later, the members who went to watch the commotion came back. After Kim Jun-myeon walked in, he took a sip of his coffee directly and, noticing that many eyes were on him, didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "It's about YG. They just had a conflict with the SBS staff."

"YG Why did you suddenly argue with the organizers"

Xiu順勢地問了一句，其他 XO 的人聽到是 YG 那邊的的問題之後既有些好奇，其實也有些竊喜。

The relationship between the two companies was already strained, and recently, the MAMA Taeyong diss incident dragged EXO into the fray, leading some people to accuse them of being "incompetent" and "taking undeserved glory." This sparked a war of words between fans of Ailee and VIPs, causing EXO members to feel indifferent towards both Big Bang and YG.

Of course, this is only something I would say in private. On the surface, my manners are impeccable.

Kim Jun Mien nodded towards the outside with his chin and pursed his lips: "Tonight there's a 2NE1 stage performance, but after they arrived, the PD of Music Bank refused to let Park Chun perform. And just now when 2NE1 was supposed to be rehearsing, they wouldn't even let her rehearse, saying that she wasn't invited at all... I just heard from a friend that the SBS staff were very tough and didn't speak nicely. YG tried to communicate and negotiate for a long time, but it ended up in an argument. I heard CL was especially angry and stormed back to the waiting room."

"Pú Chūn ah…" Several people inside repeated the name, nodding their heads in agreement.

Pool Kyung-won also understood the situation well. After the 'drug gate' incident in June or July, Park Chun went from a popular idol to someone who was criticized and boycotted by the public due to the company's inadequate PR and response at the time. Even though YG and Park Chun herself made repeated efforts to explain, they were unable to recover much of the damage.

Soon after the incident broke out, Park Chun stepped down from the filming of "rooate", YG Entertainment suspended all her activities. The enthusiasm of the boycotters who achieved their goal gradually dissipated, and Ki-seung had not seen any YouTube news about Park Chun for a long time.

Because of this, relying on this year's regular second album "Crh" comeback, the results surged against the trend in the environment where the overall sales of second-generation girl groups declined. Sales and sound sources all revived, showing a glimpse of 2NE1 regaining its peak before instantly falling back to square one.

After listening and thinking about it, Ji Jingyuan raised his head curiously and asked: "When SBS K-pop Battle's organizer contacted YG to participate, didn't they clarify that Park Chun wouldn't be allowed to perform"

"Yeah, this kind of thing should have been communicated in advance, right Why wait until people arrive to do this It's just too..."

"Could it be that they just arrived at the scene, and SBS made a last-minute decision That shouldn't be the case," several members also felt something was off. Based on their experience, the number of members performing would definitely be communicated in advance. Different numbers mean different stage movements, and making a decision last minute seems too childish."

"Either SBS didn't say anything, and 2NE1 arrived at the scene to be met by the PD or higher-ups from SBS who considered it detrimental to have Park Chun perform due to potential backlash. That was a last-minute decision," Kim Jun Myeon shrugged, finding a spot on the sofa and settling down. "Or perhaps it was already agreed upon beforehand, but YG came up with a 'strike first and then make amends' tactic, directly sending someone over. They wanted to get on board first and then fill in the details later, taking advantage of this Gaon Chart Music Festival stage to let Park Chun debut and gauge audience reaction as a way to test the waters for his comeback…"

He wasn't biased and stood on both sides to analyze the two most likely possibilities. Chi Jingyuan and a few others nodded after hearing this, finding it quite reasonable.

"What happened in the end Did he make it" Kim Jong-dae asked after thinking for a moment.

"Hearing this question, the other members gave him a strange look. Kim Jun-myeon shook his head helplessly: "Of course not. Not only rehearsals, but even backstage hasn't been let out. The PD probably wants Park Chanyeol to go back directly."

You can go up if you want, and you can't if you don't. How can an idol group resist a television station like SBS

He was too lazy to bother with a long lecture, so he just blurted out some nonsense.

After that, for some reason, a short silence fell upon the room. The faint glee a few of XO's members had felt upon hearing about YG's misfortune had vanished, and now there seemed to be a sense of reflection hanging in the air.

It's also hard to say that 2NE1, which was so popular a few years ago, ended up like this this year. They were treated almost humiliatingly during the year-end stage rehearsals.

Or perhaps it's a lament facing SBS as a television station, being an artist really has no space to resist.

The four girls of Red Velvet didn't dare to speak up, they just sat there listening seriously. They weren't too moved, whether it was their first time participating in the music battle or seeing how Pool Jung-won and the seniors from XO were acting privately in the resting room, they all found it quite novel.

But fleeting feelings without roots come and go quickly, and I'm not sure if they even happen to me. Chi Jingyuan just put on his headphones and continued playing. The guys beside him giggled and chatted about other things. Because Lai De Bebe was there, they naturally wouldn't talk about the kind of topics they usually love the most; they were just having ordinary casual conversations and jokes.

"How about listening to a song"

As he was talking, Kim Jun Myeon took out his phone and suggested, “What do you want to listen to”

"I don't feel very spirited, so let's listen to "The Roar..." Wu Se-hun suggested raising his hand."

But before he could finish, Ji Jingyuan took off his left earbud and directly interrupted him: "Listen to 《happess》."

Several people's gazes landed on Pei Zhuxuan, who winked at him.

"Ok! *Happess*," Kim Jun Myeon pretended he hadn't heard Wu Shixun speak at all, his eyes lit up as he took out his phone and played it.

A familiar chorus of tropical rainforest bird calls, followed by a strangely pungent prelude from ginger and chili peppers, the word "Bang!" ignited the passion of several energetic men.

"...".

Lay Baby's four members who heard their own song felt strange and didn't show much reaction yet, EXO's several people sang along together, very enthusiastically following the singing there. The entire resting room fell into a chorus of 'la la la', while Kim Jun Mien even stood up and swayed along looking particularly excited.

Even Kiyoi Ikegami, who was playing a game while looking down, didn't put his left earpiece back on. He kept playing while singing along to the song and lightly nodding his head to the beat, seemingly enjoying it very much.

Seeing these seniors so enthusiastically singing their songs, the four members of Laibeibi, who were originally a bit nervous and awkward, immediately relaxed. Their bodies started swaying to the rhythm. Jiang Shubi and Sun Shengwan even joined the chorus directly. The entire lounge suddenly became lively.

After singing a line, Ji-won suddenly raised his head and turned to look at Irene who had been glancing in their direction. Seeing her nodding along and singing, he smiled directly at her, winked, and without waiting for Irene's response, lowered his head and continued playing.

She lightly wrinkled her nose and glanced at him, a smile unknowingly forming on her lips. Her body swayed to the rhythm with even greater intensity.

…………

After a while, EXO was called out for rehearsal. Pool Jingyuan didn't know how the organizer arranged the rehearsal order; he felt that sometimes it followed the order of the formal performance, and sometimes it was shuffled by PD himself.

However, in his feeling, the earlier the rehearsal, the better. Rehearsing early means going back to rest and play games or visit friends sooner. If it's scheduled later, he has to keep waiting for notifications, which makes many things inconvenient.

Anyway, EXO always wants to be the first one to rehearse for their performances.

After EXO's stage rehearsal ended, Ji-sung was just about to head back to the resting room when he saw several members of Red Velvet walk out and prepare to go on stage. Got7ner, an idol group that had previously been seen at **, was also with them, seeming ready to start rehearsing their collaborative stage with these four new groups. He became interested and stopped in his tracks, standing beside them to watch the rehearsal.

It wasn't just Chi Jingyuan who was interested in XO; there were a few other people around him who were also quite curious. They stood beside him, all looking at it together.

Just as she stood on stage, Jennie noticed Ji-sung in the distance watching her. Suddenly, she felt a little nervous, remembering their upcoming collaboration and a touch of unease filled her heart.

Music began to play, and four new rookie groups came onto the stage, following the accompaniment and starting their rehearsal. These groups all debuted this year and are participating in the end-of-year music battle for the first time. It's clear that they take it very seriously; even during rehearsals, every move is performed flawlessly, almost indistinguishable from the official practice.

Chi Jingyuan watched for a while and felt it was quite interesting. In this collaborative stage, there were many interactions between the two female group members and two male group members, and some parts seemed quite close.

He also noticed that when there was an interaction part, Pei Zhuhyun glanced at him twice. He sensed something in her eyes and chuckled to himself.

After watching the performance, Chi Jingyuan followed the members off the stage and back to the resting room. This kind of interaction between male and female idols on stage is common, it's a normal thing.

He himself often has this kind of interaction and understands that it's not a big deal. It's Pei Zhuxuan's little glances and exposed mindset that he finds quite interesting and adorable.

"Oh my gosh, just now Jingyuan and his friends' senior colleagues were watching us rehearse. I don't know why I was actually quite nervous."

After two run-throughs, the rehearsal came to an end. As she walked off the stage, Jiang Seqi was still catching her breath. She remembered seeing Ji Jingyuan and a few others when she first performed the first time.

Pei Zhuxuan couldn't help but nod in agreement. To be honest, she was fine with performing. She had been practicing for so long and had debuted for several months. Even when performing in front of acquaintances, she wouldn't have any problems; at most, she would feel a little awkward. But when facing Ji Kyeong-won on stage and having some interactions with other male idols, her heart would feel a bit uncomfortable, and she would be flustered and worried.

Although it's already considered a no-go zone in private.

……

At 8:45 PM on December 20, 2014, the SBS Gayo Daejun was officially launched at COEX in Samseong-dong, Seoul. The event was divided into two venues. Besides the main venue here, there was a second venue at the Prism Tower in Yeouido where many artists also performed.

Among the three major television stations' annual year-end music festivals, SBS's Gayo Daejeon is generally the most elaborate, with the most extravagant stage lighting and the best at creating flashy gimmicks. Therefore, it generally receives the highest level of attention.

After last year's hit TV drama and hundreds of artists singing a charity song, this year they created a super5 boy. Five members were selected from five popular male groups to be MCs, which really made countless girls unable to take their eyes off the live broadcast. In addition, with Song Ji-hyo, who became popular because of "Runngan," just this lineup of MCs is already very eye-catching.

This year's Song War not only features performances by numerous artists but also revives the award ceremony format after an eight-year hiatus. Multiple awards will be presented during the gala, transforming it from a simple performance show into something akin to the MAMA format.

As for the weight of the awards... that's a matter of opinion.

Before EXO even started as a big name, they already had their seats in the artist section. Now that the end-of-year awards shows are well-established, the directors know what to do. If there's ever a lull, like if the MC makes a joke or gets excited and the audience doesn't react, or an artist finishes performing and the audience is too quiet, whenever they need fans to scream and cheer, they just cut to EXO in the artist section. The screams and cheers come instantly.

This trick really works every time. All the fans at the event didn't mind being used by the director as atmosphere, anyway, as long as they could get our oppa on camera. Give us one shout-out and we'll cheer! Just keep giving us attention and we'll keep shouting.

Ji Jingyuan, with his styled black short hair swept up, and the other members dressed similarly, sported a sleek black suit over a white shirt with a tie. Unlike the typical idol appearance, he looked more like an upper-class executive in a corporate setting.

Because there might be a lot of fans at night, he specifically chose a seat in the very last row when he took his place. He also pulled Park Chan-yeol, the biggest member, to sit right in front of him. Although he certainly couldn't get too lazy because the director knows who gets the loudest screams when the camera is on them, at least he could occasionally gently touch a fish.

To EXO's right sits Apk, Jung Eun-ji, and Ji-sung are seated in the middle separated by Do Kyungsoo. Further to the right sits Sun Na-eun.

At this time, all the Apks are wearing white sparkly coats that are very fashionable. Sun Na Eun's eyes

Just now, when I was backstage, I had already greeted him. When I sat down, because the surrounding audience and fans kept staring at me, I didn't say much. After the official opening, Ji Jingyuan often felt that there were eyes constantly looking at him from over there.

The artist seating was located on the right side of the stage. Ji Chang Wook sat there, watching the performance onstage. After a few MCs finished their opening act and speeches, the first program of the night was a stage by IU and her new members. The four groups each sang their representative songs before performing a final collaboration together.

From GOT7's "girlsgirlsgirls," Red Velvet's "Happiness," N.EX's "Void," and Lovelzy's "dyjellylove," to the final "oveslikejagger," honestly, from the audience's perspective, this new collaboration stage was really exciting, considered one of the rare collaborations in recent years that can make people's eyes light up.

Among the four groups, only nEr debuted with a higher popularity thanks to their "monster rookie" title. The others, GOT7, are just lukewarm, lovelzy just debuted last month, and Red Velvet is even less relevant.

Although it was a collaboration stage between newcomers and less-known groups, the opening performances of these four combinations were very successful. Throughout the performance, there were several times when enthusiastic cheers erupted from the audience, and the sound was quite loud.

Although the director did cut to EXO's faces in the audience twice in a row.

This also made Chi Jingyuan secretly rejoice in his choice of a good position. Giving once was enough, but he kept cutting towards here. They came twice right at the beginning of the match, how tired they must be throughout the whole thing.

While thinking about him, he inwardly cursed.

Can you cut to the side where Jung Eun-ji is It would be nice if there were no screams, maybe just some laughter.

Just then, as the final performance was about to end, a flirty interaction between Nam Taehyun and Son Seungwan got many audience members screaming with excitement. The atmosphere in the venue instantly became much hotter.
