Chapter 46: Concert

opinion" Shin Won-ho looked displeased. 。His expression held for a second before cracking, he grinned and shook his head continuously: "Oh my gosh, the quality is simply excellent. Both appearance and...The Dream Concert was held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on May 30th. This time, it invited nearly twenty groups or artists to participate.

Currently, the most popular and trending groups like TVXQ, Girls' Generation TTS, Kara, and 2PM are all on the list.

EXO-K also rode the coattails of being from ** Entertainment to get on this concert, and they even had two stage performances.

Among so many idol groups, EXO-K, who just debuted this year and whose development hasn't been smooth sailing, ended up in a small, cramped waiting room.

The difference in treatment compared to artists from smaller companies is immediately apparent. Those who struggle even to get on a single music show are fundamentally different from those backed by major corporations.

Today, the group set off early in the morning led by their manager. After finishing their styling, they arrived at the World Cup Stadium when the audience hadn't entered yet.

The members, each with an artist's access pass hanging from their necks, followed their manager into the backstage waiting room.

Although it's still early, the backstage is already very busy. Staff checking in and out are coming and going, everyone walks in a hurry, and every now and then you can hear a few frantic shouts.

Dream concerts are usually broadcast live. This time, the venue was huge, with both a large number of artist groups and audience members. It was a significant challenge for the organizers and staff.

The agent went to confirm the rehearsal time and details with the staff, while the assistant led several members of Team K directly to their resting room after closing the door. In an instant, they were cut off from the outside chaos.

After several days, the members of Team K, who had been somewhat disheartened after being announced to be semi-hibernated, gradually recovered their spirits and were no longer as anxious and discouraged as before.

The company comforted us several times, and they also showed that the company had high hopes for the EXO group. The fact that they could consistently appear on music shows and participate in dream concerts proves this point.

As long as you practice hard and follow the company's arrangements, the next comeback situation will definitely be much better than it is now.

Several members were chatting in small groups. Park Chan-wook, after a period of despondency, seemed to have gradually found himself again. He was usually the most talkative, and now he was smiling mysteriously with Kim Jong-hyun and Woo Se-hoon, discussing some gossip and anecdotes about female seniors.

"Today Kara and Tara seem like they're coming, wow I think Jiyeon and Hala are really awesome."

"Didn't you hear that HOLA and BEAST have a member dating Jiyeon seems to have a lot of people chasing after her too."

"I guess so, who cares With my looks, I'd still have a chance even if we dated."

"You I think you should just forget it. Jingyuan has a better chance."

"Achoo..."

"Let's wait until the group gains popularity, then we can talk about it. Last time I went to chat up a girl from a girl group, she didn't even bother with me."

“Today, there's also Davichi, and senior Jang Min Kyung's figure is really great…”

“...”

Ji Jingyuan sat in a corner of the waiting room, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses and playing his 3DS game console, occasionally interjecting with a comment.

He is actually quite interested in these rumors.

The glasses were a gift from his older sister. They have no prescription and are said to have some kind of radiation protection effect, which can protect his eyes from damage while he's playing games.

I don't know if it's true or not, but he still wears it every time he plays games. After all, it comes from his family with love.

They were supposed to go backstage to visit other senior groups in the resting room, but since EXO-K is the youngest and arrived earliest, they had to wait because the senior groups hadn't come yet.

While playing games and chatting, time passed quickly as we had a relaxed and enjoyable time.

I don't know how long it had been, but the manager came to knock on the door.

"Enough fun, many groups have already arrived. Go visit the seniors first, we still have rehearsals later, we are third on the list, make good use of your time."

As soon as Lee Seung-hwan entered, he looked flustered and waved his hand, urging the K team members to move quickly.

“Understood.” The crowd responded with a chorus of agreement and, under the leadership of Captain Kim Jun-Myeon, set off.

The entire backstage was a whirlwind of greetings. Everyone, from senior artists to groups, was acknowledged with a simple nod. There wasn't much said; it was just a formality.

The last visit was to a senior from my own company, Girls' Generation TTS and TVXQ.

TVXQ's Jung Yunho and Shim Changmin were still quite warm. When facing EXO-K's bow, they didn't sit there motionless, but actively stood up and lightly returned the bow. Although the gesture wasn't big, their attitude was clear.

After some casual pleasantries and a few words of encouragement from the perspective of a senior company member, he said goodbye.

The entire time, TVXQ's manager stood beside them, smiling throughout. When it was time to say goodbye, he even patted Park Ki-won on the shoulder and waved goodbye in a friendly manner.

All the artist's resting rooms at ** company are connected. The three members of Girls' Generation TTS seem to have gone for an interview and weren't there. After visiting the two members of TVXQ, they returned to their own resting room.

"Ah." As soon as they entered their own territory, the members all let out a long sigh of relief.

It's really tiring to go around like this. Captain Kim Jun Myeon looks a bit tired because he's always the first one standing and saying those opening remarks.

The first impression is the most important, and you should also be very polite when greeting people, otherwise it's easy to be considered rude.

And hiding at the back, Ji-yeong was basically silent throughout, his figure also obscured by Se-hun who stood in front, blocking most of him. He went through the motions of bowing politely but no one could really see him.

"Take a break and rest for now. Staff will come to call you for rehearsal later, and I'll be there too." After giving a few instructions, Lee Seong-hwan closed the door and left the dressing room.

After a tiring visit, everyone lost their interest in chatting and sat in their own positions playing individually. Occasionally, they would chat casually with each other.

Chi Jingyuan put on his glasses and continued sitting there, starting to play games.

"Knock knock."

After waiting for about ten minutes, the door of the waiting room suddenly creaked open.

Before the assistant sitting by the door could even get up to open it, the door was already pushed open.

"Anihasayō!" A head poked directly inside.

"Senior, annyeonghaseyo."

As soon as they saw him, the members of Team K immediately stood up. Ji-seong put his 3DS aside and stood up to greet him.

The one who came in was Girls' Generation TTS, who had just been away from the waiting room. The door was opened by Kim Taeyeon.

Kim Taeyeon cautiously peeked her head in first before walking in, followed by Seo Hyun and Hwang Mi-young.

They have already finished their styling and makeup, and they are wearing their stage outfits for the interview, looking very dazzling.

Kim Taeyeon has a head of golden long hair, with bangs parted to the right. Her hair is gathered on the right side of her head and tied into a slightly curled braid. She wears a faint smile on her face, looking quite dazzling.

The others, Seo Hyun and Hwang Mei Ying, were also dressed very beautifully. However, their colorful sequin stage outfits seemed a little over the top.

Upon seeing the senior elders, everyone hurriedly bowed.

Three people nodded and smiled in return. Seo Hyun said a few polite encouraging words. The members of K-Team basically knew each other when they were still trainees, and they had even collaborated on stage and filmed MV together afterwards.

The main song "Tkle" MV for TTS's debut album was filmed with several EXO members. The filming took place quite early on, before EXO even debuted, and before Ji-young joined the company.

Captain Kim Jun-Myeon was also smiling and talking to Seohyun, saying that he was more familiar with these seniors.

With a golden crown, Taeyeon didn't speak. She scanned the room with her eyes before focusing on Ji-yeong, who stood in the corner.
