Chapter 115: Elevated Expectations

ether. Overall, it gives off an unforgettable sense of handsomeness and strong youthful energy."Go in, Kang Sora-mi."Ji Jingyuan nodded and thanked him. At this time, Wu Shixun walked over and glanced...This time, during the variety show's shoot, Pool Jingyuan was really relaxed and enjoying himself by the pool. He truly hopes there will be more trips like this, he wouldn't complain about being tired even if they filmed from morning to night.

But joyful times are always fleeting. Before Ji Jingyuan could truly savor the moment, a commotion arose from outside the practice room. Familiar voices drifted in, hinting that the team members who had gone out for filming were returning ahead of schedule.

Chi Jingyuan sighed, reluctantly glancing at the game screen one last time. He shut it off with some hesitation before putting it into his shoulder bag.

Then he stood up, waved at the camera and the completely expressionless VJ, smiled a little shyly, and sincerely wished the VJ well.

"VJ, this collaboration was really enjoyable, bro you're really good at making shows, hope that next time we meet you'll already be a PD."

VJ mechanically manipulated the camera, showing no reaction, as if Pool Jingyuan wasn't speaking to him.

At this time, the practice room door was pushed open and Wu Shixun strode in, carrying two packed bags. As he walked over, he handed one to Ji Jingyuan while complaining, "Too demanding, aren't you If you want to eat, just go get it yourself! You had to call me to bring it... Do you know how long we waited to buy this"

"This isn't about me not having time, I got back to the company and you guys had already left..."

"While explaining, Ji-yeong opened the package and took a deep sniff, enjoying the aroma: 'This is it... Se-hun ah, Kang Sang-mi da, next time I'll treat you to dinner.'"

Ji Jingyuan had Wu Shixun bring him a combo set of grilled meat and pork intestines, seasoned with sauce and seasonings. With a bowl of fragrant white rice, eating this midnight snack at almost 12 am after a tiring day was truly enjoyable.

"Yuan, it's such a pity that you didn't go out for dinner and shopping with your brother. Do you feel lonely practicing by yourself in the studio"

And then Park Chan-rye, Beomgyu and a few others from the Woo Shi Hoon team, along with their VJ and staff, came in. Shooting hadn't stopped yet. As soon as they walked in, they smiled and greeted Ji-won, coming over to pat him on the shoulder.

"Ani oh, not boring at all."

"I found the most real me…"

Although it has been three days since the news broke that EXO won their first grand prize, the repercussions are still ongoing. Their hot searches are still at the top of various websites.

Yesterday, another astonishing and envy-inducing event occurred as EXO won their first major award. Wealthy fans known as "Planetary Fans" directly invested individually to rent several famous LED billboards in Seoul, including the large screen at Ikseon Building in Gwangwhamun, and the Lotte Department Store screen in Myeongdong. These iconic building screens were occupied for a whole two days.

From the day after winning the award, these landmark screens continuously played VCRs from EXO's various periods and individual member highlight photos, including stage performances and footage of them receiving the award.

And every 10 minutes, a large font would appear saying 'Congratulations to EXO's "Growl" for winning this MMA best song of the year.' It can be said that in terms of topics, publicity, or prestige, it has already surpassed the support of ordinary fans.

It's definitely a significant investment, and that's not even mentioning the fact that what you see playing on screen is nowhere to be found online. It's likely compiled by fans who collected materials themselves and edited them. This kind of dedication and expenditure from hardcore fans truly makes other idols envious and jealous.

When it comes to fan support, EXO-Ls have never disappointed. Since EXO's rise, their fanbase has been a benchmark that other groups aspire to emulate.

** Entertainment expressed their sincere gratitude to fans on EXO's official SNS after seeing the overwhelming response. They also stated that EXO will continue to work hard and won't disappoint their devoted fans.

Now the hot topic of discussion online has shifted from congratulating EXO on their win to ‘Was this award a result of the company's operation or EXO's good luck, or is this just the beginning, with EXO having a strong momentum and continuing to win’

Fans and haters are arguing fiercely online, sparking a war of words. Meanwhile, bystanders are also interested in this topic and are chiming in with their own opinions, further fueling the hype.

Because EXO won the Grand Prize at MMA, they received a huge amount of attention and increased people's anticipation for the upcoming 2013 MAMA Awards ceremony.

According to the company's survey, many ordinary people who have only recently become aware of the male group EXO due to recent events are looking forward to their stage at MAMA and are curious whether they will continue to win the grand prize or if this is just a fleeting moment.

Given this surge in heat and attention, the company also attaches great importance to it. Starting yesterday, they sent over dedicated dance instructors and teachers responsible for designing dance effects. Every evening, they return to accompany the members in practicing this special stage, checking their practice progress and effects, pointing out their mistakes, and giving their own opinions, so that they can continuously improve.

After Luhan and Yoon So-hee took the stage, when you appeared on the backdrop of the artificial mountain, the drumbeat at that moment was very impactful, so your facial expressions and eyes need to be given a little more force...

Jiyuan, and Luhan when you two interact on stage transitions, your movements can be a little bigger, don't be afraid to bump into people. Luhan, are you okay

"Also, your team Jingyuan, which is Team A, the dancing part, how come it's still not unified Untidy dancing really affects the stage effect..."

"Luhan, your B team, for the new choreography variation part where you rub your hands together, you have to hit the beats. This is the most basic thing. And this is the highlight of your team's choreography, it's the killgpart, how are you doing it..."

"Overall, the effect isn't very ideal. We don't have much time left. You guys should focus on extra practice at night these few days and make sure you get used to working together. We'll come take another look tomorrow."

Several teachers accompanied them throughout the two-hour rehearsal and, after watching them simulate a formal performance once, provided many suggestions and urged the members to improve quickly.

"Inside, Kang Sang-mi, we will do our best."

Members were a little tired after dancing, so they panted while bowing to the teachers to express their gratitude.

I'm truly grateful for the insightful questions posed by the dance instructors. They were very specific and crucial, significantly contributing to the overall improvement of the performance for this special occasion.

"No complaints, just keep practicing. The members are used to it."

And they are all very optimistic about the new choreography and special stage for this year's MAMA. They think it's really cool when they practice, and just thinking about performing in front of so many people fills them with energy.

Especially the C positions of the teams divided into A and B, Ji Jingyuan and Luhan.

Because this stage didn't divide the teams according to K and M, for the sake of convenience, Ji Jingyuan's team is Team A, and Lu Han's side is Team B.

This special stage was already eye-catching, and as the center members, they were the focus of the performance. They needed to coordinate with more members than others, but they readily accepted it.

After the dance teachers left, the twelve of them sweated it out in the practice room, going over and over the steps for their MAMA performance. They were putting in a lot of hard work to make it perfect.

After about forty minutes, the door to the practice room was suddenly knocked. Before the members could respond, the door was pushed open, and the person who walked in took everyone by surprise. Lay, who was standing closest, quickly turned off the music, and then everyone stood in a line and bowed respectfully.

"Professor Lee Hwa-man, Annyeonghaseyo."
