Peninsula Asteroid

"Hey, have you come in so soon? Anihasai..."

In the backstage lounge of the Tokyo Dome, just a few seconds after the live broadcast was turned on, Park Chanyeol, who noticed that the audience had already poured in, quickly interrupted the chat with the members next to him, and waved to the camera to say hello: "Yo Luoben, Aniha Saiyo~, do you know where we are now..."

"ZzangZzang!" As he said, he looked around with the camera of his mobile phone, and his voice was loud and exaggerated: "Yes, we are currently in the backstage of the concert, and there is still some time before the official opening, and the members are doing My own business..."

Two days have passed since EXO's official debut in Neon, and soon came the most important part of their Neon schedule, the Tokyo Dome concert.

Although they made their debut here, and the various results are unexpectedly good, it is obvious that SM has no intention of shifting the focus of EXO's activities to Neon. After the album was released on the 4th, the schedule of various activities did not follow Many, besides recording a few local talk shows and stages, EXO actually spends most of its time preparing for this concert. It has been rehearsing on the spot since yesterday, and it is also very early today. Get ready.

From the morning until just now, everyone was waiting in the waiting room for the start of the performance. Park Chanyeol, who always likes live broadcasts, took advantage of his spare time. After communicating with his manager, he directly opened V live and started a surprise live broadcast.

"...Brother Xuimin is still fixing his makeup, so let's not bother him." After ten minutes, Park Chanyeol took a selfie stick and went around the entire lounge, pretending to interview most of the members , the popularity of the live broadcast room is also increasing. After filming Kim Min-seok who was still touching up his makeup, he stood in the middle of the phone and read the messages that kept swiping the screen to interact with the audience: "Wow, the messages are swiping the screen so fast, suho Hyung is not here, he went out just now...'Where is Yuan? I want to see Yuan', I want to see the maknae, OK, no problem, let me see where he is...I found it!"

While talking, Park Chanyeol walked towards Chi Jingyuan's position on the right, and pointed the camera at him several meters away.

At this time, Chi Jingyuan was sitting alone on the small sofa in the corner. After he had finished his makeup, he had several college textbooks spread out on his lap, bent over and holding a pen, and was struggling to write and draw on them, pursing his mouth, Frowning slightly, it was obviously not easy.

Although he took advantage of this time to read for a while, it was obvious that the atmosphere in the lounge couldn't concentrate, and he heard Park Chanyeol's bluffing live broadcast from a long distance away.

Park Chanyeol quickly walked to the side, stood there, pointed the camera at Chi Jingyuan, and said with a smile: "Yuan xi, say hello to the audience, many fans have been swiping the screen to see you..."

"Anihasai..." Chi Jingyuan, who looked at the book for a while with a big head, raised his head, immediately went into business mode, smiled and waved at the camera.

"omo, this angle is really amazing!"

"What is Yuan doing? It looks like he's doing homework."

"This hair color! I finally saw the soot circle again, ahhhhh!"

"Is the hair color in today's performance smoky gray? I really envy the fans of Neon."

As soon as Chi Jingyuan entered the country, the speed of the barrage in the live broadcast room was significantly faster. This kind of appearance seen during the private live broadcast was completely different from the usual time when he was in the TV camera.

"What is Yuan xi doing?" Park Chanyeol patted the textbook on Chi Jingyuan's lap vaguely, and asked curiously on behalf of the audience.

"Uh, I'm reviewing. It's the end of the year, and the school exams are coming..." Chi Jingyuan put down the pen in his hand, straightened up and shook his head.

"Hey Yigu, it's really hard work. Recently, the youngest will do homework whenever he has free time. I've seen it many times." Park Chanyeol obviously understands it well, and he immediately started chatting with him without needing to communicate, saying After a few sentences, he pointed the camera at Chi Jingyuan's face and hair, and asked in the same surprised tone as many fans: "Wow, is this specially dyed for today's concert?"

"Inside."

Chi Jingyuan gently fluttered the bangs on his forehead, looked at the camera and nodded with a smile.

They really made a lot of preparations for this performance, and in these few cody shows, Chi Jingyuan also specially re-dyed his soot gray hair color that was well received during the "call me baby" period. The color was on the trending searches several times in a row at the beginning, and many fans specially created hot posts, evaluating it as one of Chi Jingyuan's most handsome looks since his debut, and attracted him a lot of new fans.

However, this look lasted for more than half a month. Although many fans liked it later, because the dyeing was too troublesome and easy to fade, I never dyed it again. After showing my face in the live broadcast room, many fans immediately exclaimed screamed.

"...Okay, let's not disturb the maknae's review."

After chatting casually and asking a few questions, Park Chanyeol and Chi Kyung-won bid farewell, ready to end this live broadcast: "All the members except Brother Suho have met, and it's getting late, this time The live broadcast is almost here..."

"Please look forward to tonight's concert!"

...

"Let's burn together!"

"Hello, you don't have this w, Tokyo!"

The Tokyo Dome concert started on time in the evening. Facing the invisible audience and the neatly twinkling stars, many members could not contain their enthusiasm. During the interlude in the middle of the performance, They shouted loudly towards the bottom, and what they received in response was an overwhelming wave of cheers and support.

Chi Jingyuan stood on the stage, looking at the tens of thousands of spectators who were filled with darkness, which brought great pressure but also gave people endless motivation. He was also extremely excited in his heart, and he felt as if his whole body was on fire. It was as if I was dying. What beat faster than the dance was my heart that was already boiling inside.

The difference between a concert with 50,000 people and a concert with 10,000 people is still very obvious. The feeling just standing on the stage is really completely different. In the vast venue, there are endless black figures and waving bright silver. The light combined together was like a river of stars dancing in the deep universe, completely surrounding them from top to bottom, left to right, leaving no gaps, giving people an endless and heavy sense of oppression.

But the achievement and excitement of being there, surrounded by all the stars, and being the central focus of tens of thousands of people, is difficult to express in words.

Even the Gocheok Dome performance in Peninsula some time ago was dwarfed in comparison.

This is not the first time for EXO to perform at the Tokyo Dome. They have actually been here several times before with SM Town, but the sense of accomplishment between a group concert and a solo concert is completely different.

Today, they are the only protagonists.

This performance is also part of the second tour, so the songs and programs performed are basically the same as the previous second tour concerts. However, due to the problems of the Tokyo Dome venue and facilities, whether it is the surround sound effects of the speakers or the huge screen The visual effects, and even the response and support of the live audience, which were several times larger, were much better than those in ordinary venues before. It also allowed EXO to contribute the most exciting and classic stages of this second tour, such as this song "Golden" country".

"Show the light ahead of us, and set off towards a future that no one knows."

"Every step will become a legend."

"Same row, same day, same name."

"Because we are one and trust each other."

Various choreographies that have been practiced countless times can be made casually without thinking in the neural memory. Not long after the opening, less than three stages, because of the excitement and burning blood, Chi Jingyuan's forehead was already covered with blood. Sweat was evident, and breathing became rapid, but these things were not worth mentioning in the face of endless enthusiasm and motivation.

The other members were obviously immersed in this enjoyable atmosphere. Every time they waved the prop light stick in their hands, it seemed like they were using all their strength.

After a few songs, EXO stood in a row in front of the stage. After the first few members finished speaking, it was Chi Jingyuan's turn. After several months of learning Japanese, although the rest of XO is not very proficient, most members have no problem with basic greetings and communication, and there is no need for him to act as a translator.

"Ahhhh..."

When he appeared on the big screen and just raised the microphone before he could speak, the surrounding audience had already burst out with excitement like a mountain roar and a tsunami, completely covering the microphone and speakers, and shaking the stage and ground. Tremble.

The smile on Chi Jingyuan's face became brighter and more enjoyable.

This kind of stage and this kind of attention are the goals he has been pursuing.

After waiting for several seconds, the cheers gradually subsided. He looked around and shouted loudly below: "Everyone in Tokyo, how are you doing?"

"ye~~ahhh..."

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"ye~~..."

"We have been looking forward to today, and we will work hard until the end..."

"Please take care of me, and please enjoy it until the end!"

"Ahhhh..."

…

"EXO Tokyo Dome Concert was held perfectly, presenting 27 wonderful songs to the audience" rough card

"Since their official debut in Neon on November 4, EXO held its first Neon Dome concert at the Tokyo Dome on the 6th, becoming 'the fastest overseas artist to perform in the Dome after debuting'"

"EXO's popularity continues to grow, becoming the most popular overseas group among neon young people"

After the first Dongdan performance, many Neon media outlets issued press releases the next day to conduct extensive publicity, making EXO, which originally topped the public trust list due to its debut album sales, once again become the focus of many people. .

They have such momentum just after their official debut. Among all the peninsula groups that are active in neon, they are rare.

After experiencing the first Dongdan concert, the second performance brought a little less shock and emotion to Chi Jingyuan and other EXO members, although the enthusiastic support from the audience and fans was still there. I was very moved, but the sensory shock was not as good as the first scene.

But a dome is a dome after all. Whether it’s the atmosphere or the venue, all the experiences are much better than ordinary small venues.

After the concert on the 7th, the EXO group first found a Japanese restaurant for a meal. After returning to the hotel, Jin Junmian took a few people to play cards, while Chi Jingyuan was in his room with the TV on. , but he was lying on the bed and watching the live broadcast of this year's MMA that was being simultaneously conducted on his mobile phone.

As the first of the four major award ceremonies in the peninsula music industry this year, although EXO is absent, MMA still attracts a lot of attention.

Because it was already late, when Chi Jingyuan started watching the live broadcast, the live broadcast was already in the middle and late stage, and the last few TOP10 awards were being presented. Pei Zhuxuan also went up to play a guest MC in a little black dress, but I didn’t know it was because of nervousness. Or what, the problem is similar to her usual time in "Music Bank", the speed of speech is a bit too fast, she can't let go, and the feeling of hosting is too obvious.

The last performer was bigbang. It was hard work for them to sing five songs in a row. They directly turned the MMA stage into their own private concert, but it is worthy of being the TOP group in the past, and their popularity is really very high. After switching to the panorama, it can be clearly seen that almost half of the audience is holding their crown lights. When those nightclub songs like "Pokemon" are very good at stirring up the atmosphere, the whole The venue immediately became lively.

This alone is really powerful, because of the style of the song and the degree of popularity, it is difficult for even EXO to achieve this effect.

After the bigbang stage ended, it was time for the main event of MMA. The awards for the last three awards, under the concentrated attention of all the audience and fans, the award presenters Kim Jong Jin and Moon Jin Hee came on stage, and the first award was announced soon.

The first "Song of the Year" was given to bigbang, but when it came to the second "Album of the Year", as expected by Chi Jingyuan, the award presenter didn't even sell much suspense, and directly announced that EXO's "EXO-L" album The album won this award.

This year, the physical sales of all EXO albums accounted for nearly half of the entire market in the peninsula music industry. The total number is dozens of times that of the four singles of bigbang "MADE". Among them, the sales of the regular second album "EXO-L" exceeded one million , in the 'Album of the Year' award, which mainly refers to sales performance, it would be a ghost if you can't get it.

If it wasn't awarded to EXO, the other winners probably wouldn't be too embarrassed to go up to accept the award.

It is worth mentioning that bigbang has only released four single albums this year, "M", "A", "D", and "E". It was originally announced that after the end of the four single albums, it will be released in the fifth month. But it was postponed by YG. The official explanation is that the album preparation progress was not good due to the big bang tour being too hot, so it was postponed to next year.

The fans believed in this deeply, and at the time they were half-spitting and half-showing off on the Internet.

As for the real reason, who knows...

Although the 'Album of the Year' was awarded, no one accepted the award because EXO was not present and they did not record the award-winning video in advance. After the award presenter announced the winner, "call me baby" and "boy with luv" The music played alternately one after another, but the stage was empty, with only two award presenters standing there alone, looking a little embarrassed.

What's interesting is that the director then pointed the camera at red velvet who was sitting in the auditorium. The five girls saw that the camera was facing each other, and they all smiled and started dancing to celebrate their seniors winning the grand prize.

As a result, delivery errors occurred.

The director may mean to let red velvet, who is also from SM company, take the place of EXO who was not present to receive the award, so as not to make the scene too embarrassing and the trophy cannot be distributed. The result may be that there was no communication in advance, and red velvet and others did not agree. Knowing that I have to go up to receive the award instead, when I saw the camera pointing at me, I thought I was going to shoot their reaction, so I kept smiling nicely, some kept applauding, and some shook their fists, looking very happy , with a proud appearance.

But when shooting a reaction, the camera usually turns away in two or three seconds, but at this time the camera has been staring at the red velvet to shoot. Jiang Seulqi and Kim Yerin’s hands can’t move, and Pei Zhuxuan’s smile has become a little stiff and doesn’t move. It made the five girls feel apprehensive for a moment but they didn't dare to be too small, thinking to themselves that they didn't know what was wrong.

At this time, the camera suddenly moved away, a staff quickly ran to the side and whispered to them, then the camera turned back, and the five red velvets stood up from the auditorium with belated smiles, and walked towards the stage with a little embarrassment. go.

At this time, the allies who were present were also screaming, and they sang the BGM "call me baby" that was being played in a tacit chorus

"Call me baby ba call me baby."

"Call me baby ba call me baby."

Even though EXO wasn't there, and even though half of the venue today was filled with bigbang fans' V.I.P., the chorus at this time still carried through the entire venue, no matter the sound or the momentum.

Red velvet walked down the stage tremblingly in the shocking chorus, Pei Zhuxuan took the initiative to accept the trophy, and approached the microphone with some embarrassment: "Nai, XO, senior XO nim rough Kamida!"

The young lady's tone was sweet, but because of lack of confidence and the mistake of broadcasting just now, she seemed a little weak and shy.

"We'll pass it on to them."

"Rough Kamida, rough Kamida!" Several members next to them also expressed their blessings in cute voices in turn, and they looked quite cute with their all cake maid outfits, at least a lot of Erydu I can't help but have some good feelings for this junior girl group.

After red velvet quickly walked off the stage with the trophy, the two award presenters took a breath, looked a lot more relaxed, and continued to present the next award.

Chi Jingyuan, who was awarded the last grand prize, didn't look at it, he didn't need to think about it, he knew it should be Bigbang, after all, such an embarrassing scene once was enough.

...

By the end of the performance on the 8th, the three-day Dongdan concert finally came to a perfect conclusion.

Less than a week after debuting at Neon, nearly 160,000 audiences have been mobilized through three East Egg performances, and the 52,000 seats in each show are fully loaded, which is brilliant enough to show that this is from the peninsula. In addition to the amazing popularity of the men's group, it has also created a fascinating achievement.

Neon’s one-week schedule is over, EXO also returned to Peninsula Seoul on the 9th, the second day after the concert, and the first thing Chi Jingyuan did after returning for a short rest was to cut his hair.
