Chapter 836 Envy
"Jingyuan... is going to have a solo?"

Seeing the hot search that just came up, Son Seungwan clicked in with his eyes wide open and quickly browsed through it, and said in surprise to Bae Joo-hyun who was sitting on the bed fiddling with her phone.

Red Velvet was working during EXO’s live broadcast just now and didn’t notice it, but now there are such obvious red fonts on the trending searches that it’s impossible not to see them.

"Um……"

Bae Joo-hyun, who was wearing half an earphone, seemed to have seen this trending search. When she heard Son Seung-wan's voice, she suddenly felt a little dazed.

Her mind instantly couldn't help but recall past events. She still remembered that when Chi Jingyuan was considering song selection for his solo album, he called her over. She and Kim Taeyeon listened to many songs from his music library together, including those collected by the company and those he wrote himself. She liked many of them.

I remember that he was having a headache about the title song at that time, but now it seems that he has already chosen it.

Before she knew it, so much time had passed, and the person who had been so affectionate with her at that time is no longer around. Although she is not sad, Bae Joo-hyun still has a feeling that things have changed.

"This has been planned for a long time... Turns out the news is true!"

Sun Shengwan's surprised voice came from the side again. Bae Joo Hyun came back to his senses, looked at her, nodded and said softly: "Well, there was a plan at the beginning of the year. I heard him talk about it several times before we broke up, but he never found a suitable title song... I guess he has a new idea now."

After so long, she is no longer so shy about their relationship, and at least she behaves more naturally.

"I see... That's right, XO has been debuting for five years, if he wants to have a solo, he will definitely be the first one."

Looking at the rainbow farts from the various fans below, Son Seungwan smacked his lips and his tone became a little sour: "Look at the reactions of these fans. Tsk tsk, with Jingyuan's popularity, his recent "Really Really" is so popular, not to mention his personal solo album..."

Recently, with the hit of "Really Really", Seulgi has gained a lot of popularity with her outstanding performance in the song. Recently, the discussion about Red Velvet on the Internet is basically all about her.

As people who spend every day together, Son Seungwan witnessed with his own eyes that Kang Seulgi, who originally had average popularity, suddenly became very popular and received widespread acclaim... In this situation, even if they have a good relationship, it is impossible for him not to be jealous.

What's more, the three people who collaborated on this song are all friends of 94line. If they wanted to collaborate, they should have found her. But Chi Jingyuan found a female idol from other companies, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.

"..."

Bae Joo-hyun looked at Son Seung-wan, whose tone and expression had become bitter, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. She couldn't remember how many times her sister had complained to her about this matter in the past few days.

Although I have tried to explain it to her before, the thoughts in my heart cannot be changed with just a few words...especially seeing that "Really Really" is so popular now.

But Bae Joo-hyun can understand... and to be honest, she also thinks that Ji Kyung-won has her reasons for not asking Son Seung-wan to cooperate, so she actually feels quite apologetic in her heart.

"No, it's just... why do you hold a grudge like that~"

Son Seungwan lay down on Bae Joo-hyun's bed and started mumbling. He glanced at Kang Seul-ki who walked into the room and didn't stop, "I saw you backstage last time and you didn't even say hello. Why is it like this..."

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Seqi came over with a smile, her face was very clean after just removing her makeup.

"We're talking about EXO.Yuan."

Sun Shengwan changed the way he addressed Ji Jingyuan and said with a pout, "Remember the DMC show last month? When XO came, he didn't even bother to say hello when he saw me."

"Ha ha……"

This friend of the same age was obviously very upset recently. Jiang Seqi couldn't help but laugh secretly, but still helped Chi Jingyuan explain: "No, he probably didn't see it."

Thinking about it, Jiang Seqi added: "And he was praising you last time we had dinner..."

"Oh?" Sun Shengwan raised his eyes and looked over.

Jiang Seulgi slightly modified what they said in the last chat and briefly said... Although it seems that Ji Jingyuan and Son Seungwan are a little bit awkward because of Bae Joo-hyun, she still doesn't want 94Line to split up anyway.

"Do you know what he wants to do solo?"

"I know. It's been a rumor in the company for a long time... and I heard him mention it when we had dinner together last time. What's the matter? Has the news come out?"

"It was just revealed during Jingyuan's live broadcast..."

Listening to the two people chatting next to them for a while, all about Ji Kyung-won's solo, Bae Joo-hyun seemed to remember something and suddenly interrupted and looked at Jiang Seul-gi and asked, "Did he find a title song he likes? Did he write it himself?"

She listened to a lot of songs in the music library at that time. They were all excellent and nice songs, but none of them satisfied her. Bae Joo-hyun clearly remembered how Ji Kyung-won was worried about the title song. When she heard that Kang Seul-ki seemed to know some news, she was curious and concerned.

"Forehead……"

Hearing Bae Joo Hyun's question, Jiang Seulgi paused for a second, nodded and did not hide it: "He wrote it himself. I haven't heard the demo, but I can feel that he is very satisfied with this song. He showed it off to Sehun for a long time..."

"Oh, that's good."

Bae Joo-hyun nodded slowly, then lowered her head to look at her phone, her eyes somewhat empty.

"and……"

But Jiang Shuqi spoke again, but stopped talking.

She exchanged a look with Pei Zhuxuan, who looked up again with curious eyes after hearing the voice. After a slight hesitation, she finally spoke after looking at the fair and tender face and dark pupils of this sister without makeup.
"Also... Jingyuan mentioned the origin of this song casually, although he didn't go into detail... But from what he said, I feel that this title song was probably something he came up with after he and you broke up... and then he wrote it."

She observed Pei Zhuxuan's expression and said, "I feel... this song probably has a lot to do with you, Ouni."

“Ah, Kang Seulgi!”

Before anyone could say anything, Sun Shengwan next to him started to question him dissatisfiedly: "He treated Ouni like that, and you kept speaking for him... Did you accept bribes from him?"

"No way..." Jiang Seqi's serious expression suddenly disappeared, her cheeks puffed out and she smiled foolishly, grinning and waving her hands, looking extremely innocent.

"Absolutely! Traitor!"

"Hehe~"

The two younger sisters next to her started to quarrel, but Bae Joo-hyun did not join in. Instead, she was a little dazed. She couldn't help but have some associations in her mind because of what Kang Seul-ki had just said.

At last, she pursed her lips, glanced at Jiang Seqi, lowered her head and continued to look at her mobile phone.

…………

At this time, the solo news leaked by Chi Jingyuan during the live broadcast became more and more popular on the hot searches, and there were more and more related comments.

"Ahhh, this news has been circulating for several months and I finally heard it today!"

“Although I’m really excited to know that Oppa is going to have a solo, it’s hard to think that I have to wait until next year… I have to wait so long.”

"It's right to let Yuan go solo first!"

"I can only say that I started saving money the second I saw the news."

"Wow, I seem to have seen the major award ceremonies next year, all the big awards will be Yuan and EXO competing against each other, and all the awards will be swept by EXO."

"Looking forward to it! I might not pay attention to other male idols, but if it's Yuan, I will definitely buy an album."

Not counting EXO's own popularity, Ji Kyung-won's reputation and national popularity in music have almost become unique among all male idols through his hard work and various songs in recent years. Both fans and ordinary passers-by have expressed strong expectations for his solo, and it has even attracted many passers-by who usually don't like boy bands or even pay attention to Kpop at all.

Only he would be like this. If it were someone else, even another member of EXO, it would be impossible to have this effect.

At the same time, many brokerage companies in the circle were also overwhelmed after seeing this news. Some companies, after discovering that some of their artists were scheduled to return and release songs in January or February next year, even held meetings overnight to discuss whether to adjust the return time of their artists.

Compared to ordinary passers-by, people working in the industry actually value Chi Jingyuan's personal importance more, and think highly of his solo, even more than the fans who are currently blowing his praises online and booking various awards.

Only those in the industry know best who the popularity of the EXO group is concentrated on, and they also know what the stage name Yuan represents among idols now.

Rather than letting their artists try out an album like 'Yuan's first solo' which is destined to be a big hit, and then hit their head against a steel plate and die in vain, it is better to adjust the time of their return forward or backward to avoid being completely overshadowed by others and causing their carefully produced album to make no splash at all.

But after discussing for a long time, the group of people still didn't know how to adjust... because now they didn't know the specific time of Chi Jingyuan's solo.

There is no news from SM yet. The live broadcast said it would be in January or February of the new year... So is it January or February? At the beginning or end of the month?

They can't possibly wait until SM announces the news before preparing, and they can't possibly not release any songs in the first three months, right?

West Eight~
You should make it clear!

…………

After Halloween ended on the 31st, the next day, Chi Jingyuan, who was filming on the set, and the small team members who were busy with their schedules all returned to the dormitory. The EXO group reunited and flew to Aichi Prefecture, Japan overnight to prepare for the next three consecutive concerts.

Although Ji Jingyuan has left Seoul, his name is still often mentioned, not just in the news about his solo. The news about his solo has lost a lot of heat after being popular for a day. After all, it has not been officially released yet, so only fans are discussing it with relish.

More importantly, it is because the popularity of the song "really really" continues to grow. After several days of fierce competition, its strong momentum has gradually emerged, and it has temporarily suppressed Twice's "TT" on the music chart, directly interrupting the second weekly championship of the extremely popular "TT", which has achieved countless PAKs.

Basically, if you walk around the streets of Seoul now, you can easily hear the song 'really really ~~'.

Although this song became more and more popular, it did not actually bring many tangible benefits to Chi Jingyuan.

Through these years of activities, everyone in the entire K-pop circle knows him. His popularity and fame have almost reached the top in the peninsula, and it can be said that he has reached the ceiling of today's male idols.

The higher the foundation, the more difficult it is to improve.

Compared to Chi Jingyuan, the other three participants of "really really" gained more benefits.

Wu Se-hun is okay. Although he has attracted a lot of fans with his handsome look in this song, he is already a popular member in EXO, so this song does not have a big impact on his status in the team or even in the company...

Instead, it was Seulgi and Jeongyeon, the two female idols, who reaped the biggest benefits from this collaboration song.

Kang Seul-gi's popularity has been growing rapidly in the past few days, and she has attracted a large number of fans. In just a few days, both her popularity and popularity have climbed to the second place in the team. Although she is still not as good as Bae Joo-hyun who was far ahead before, she has obviously surpassed other members by a lot.

However, Yu Jeongyeon was even better. Through this collaboration song, many people noticed this member who was not very noticeable in the Twcie team before.

In fact, after Twice debuted, Yu Jeongyeon's positioning in the group was "girl crush", and the company gave her a style and personality with the intention of making her attract female fans.

However, due to various reasons related to the company's packaging, and the fact that Twice's songs are all very girly and energetic, the effect of this setting has always been very poor.

But this time it's different...

Yu Jeongyeon is really suitable for the song "really really". Whether it is the song style, the outfit, or the attractive handsomeness, they all seem to be tailor-made for her, especially for female fans.

The MV screenshots of her wearing a suit and looking cool and handsome have made her the new goddess for countless female fans.

In less than three days, more than 30 new fan sites were added, which is the best proof...

On November 1st, Twice was holding their first autograph session since their comeback in the exhibition hall on the second floor of Lotte Plaza in Gangnam District, Seoul.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

"Yu Jeongyeon!"

"Yu Jeongyeon!"

Facing the loud screams and cheers from the fans below, Yu Jeongyeon, who had just stood up to introduce herself, didn't seem to react at first, staring down with some disbelief.

Then she immediately narrowed her eyes, stretched her mouth, and laughed out loud with great joy and emotion. Although she was obviously still trying hard to keep a straight face and appear reserved, her usual professional expression management was a little out of control at this moment.

Even though she has been in the industry for so long and is not considered outstanding in the group, this is the first time she has had this feeling and thought: "I am so popular" and "So many people like me."

After being on the sidelines for so long, I suddenly stood at the center of the stage. In addition to being excited and moved, I suddenly felt like crying...

At this time, the other members of Twice sat in a row nearby, looking at Yu Jeongyeon who was standing one step in front of them, and listening to the deafening cheers from below. Although everyone had a smile on their face, many members had complicated feelings in their hearts.

When the other members were speaking before, the fans below were very considerate in cheering and cheering loudly, but it was obviously not like it is now, where you can feel the fans' excitement and excitement just by listening to the sounds.

And when it came to Yu Jeongyeon, the cheering voices were obviously one decibel higher, even louder than those of the original popular line members.

What is even more obvious is that in addition to the roars of male fans, there are actually many obvious female voices in the cheers... They all discovered that today's autograph session is a little different from the previous ones where most of the fans were male. This time, the proportion of female fans has increased significantly.

And these female fans all came for Yu Dingyan.

Although all Twice members knew that "really really" was very popular, and that Jeongyeon also benefited from it and seemed to have gained a lot of popularity, since she did not participate in any specific activities, we don't know where this "popularity" lies.

But when they saw the enthusiastic screams of a large number of female fans below and felt the explosive popularity of Yu Jeongyeon, an ordinary member who usually doesn't attract much attention, they finally felt the differences and disparity in the world.

They finally understood what the agent had said a few days ago: "The hottest girl in the lesbian circle" and "More than 30 new fan sites in three days" meant.

"Yu Jeongyeon!"

"Then please wah hey!"

The cheers from the audience were deafening.

When debuting as an idol, there is no one who does not want to develop well and be popular. Everyone wants to be the center of the stage and the focus of everyone's cheers.

We have witnessed with our own eyes how Yoo Jeongyeon's popularity skyrocketed in a very short period of time just by working with Ji Kyung-won. Even Zhou Tzuyu, Lim Nayeon, and Minatozaki Sana, who were already very popular in the team, were very surprised and had different thoughts.

This is true for all popular lines, not to mention the girls who previously followed Yu Jeongyeon. They are the ones who feel the contrast and change the most.

Kim Da-hyun, who has been inconspicuous in the team since her debut, kept smiling on her face. As she looked at the members in front of her who were receiving cheers, her heart was churning with complicated emotions.

Really... I'm so envious.
