ng that Ji Jingyuan was younger than himself, Kim Jun-myeon looked much more relaxed. He patted Ji Jingyuan on the shoulder and then gestured to the other members with his eyes."Annyeonghaseyo, I'm Do..."wuaoooooo……”
"Don't run, just give me one look."
"Just wait until I'm done, don't be impatient, hey, don't fight over it, or your brother will get angry!"
"Hahaha..."
After the awards ceremony ended and EXO and SHINee had said their goodbyes to other artists and staff, they went wild in the large backstage lounge. They chased each other around, shouting and laughing, seemingly determined to release all of their joy. The entire room was filled with an atmosphere of excitement and exhilaration.
Wu Shixun snatched the trophy from Kim Seokjin's hands and ran away, only to be caught by his brothers after just a few steps because the place was too small. They surrounded him and teased him mercilessly.
Kai and SHINee's Taemin are childhood friends, their relationship is very good. The two hid aside whispering and joking, laughing exaggeratedly.
Ji-hao and Chung Hyun's emotions had calmed down by now. Both of them regarded the grand prize trophy as a treasure, constantly arguing over its custody.
Chi Jingyuan smiled and patted Jin Junmian and Luhan beside him comfortingly. Just now, these two guys were also very excited, hugging his shoulders and talking for half a day, saying all the words they had kept in their hearts for a long time, taking advantage of this opportunity to say it all out.
This was a joyful and unforgettable time, when all the past conflicts and little disagreements among the members seemed to have vanished.
Or perhaps the contradictions still exist, but they are completely overwhelmed by immense joy.
"Ringtone..."
After pushing the two men away with difficulty, Chi Jingyuan's phone in his pocket began to vibrate frantically. When he opened it, messages of congratulations from his friends came pouring in.
Winning a grand prize is a very celebratory event for any idol. Most of Ji-seong's friends are in the industry, and they understand the significance of this award.
"Ugh, it took us three years to finally win our first big award, and you guys got one in just over a year. But I guess that's deserved! "Roar" was amazing! Jingyuan, you were also amazing! Congratulations to EXO for winning the Daesang, Hulk!" This is what Sunny sent.
"Jingyuan, you're amazing! This deserves the grand prize! You guys are too talented. Send me two cool selfies ASAP, I want to use them as my phone background and bask in your good luck." This definitely sounds like Taeyeon's.
"Oh my gosh, I thought about this before, but I didn't expect you guys to actually win the grand prize! You've only been out for a year and a half, and I'm feeling a little jealous, kkkkk. Remember to treat me to a meal next time. Also, congratulations on winning the grand prize! "Roaring" is definitely the song of the year. Bravo!"
This is from Jung Eun-ji, and Ji-yeong can just imagine her expression—a mix of happiness and barely-contained jealousy.
Besides them, all members of Girls' Generation sent congratulatory messages, as well as Seolhyun, Jung So-min, and friends from the drama set, Park Shin-hye, Kim Woo-bin, and others, who also sent their blessings.
Jiang Seqi and Sun Shengwan, as well as the other trainees who were close friends, were naturally included. They didn't know if they were watching the live stream the whole time or what happened, but EXO had already sent a message when they were receiving the award on stage. It was just that at the time, Ji Jingyuan's phone wasn't on him at all. When he returned to the resting room, he scrolled through his phone messages for a few pages before seeing their messages.
To his surprise, Lee Joo Hyuk also sent a congratulatory message:
"Jingyuan xi, congratulations on winning the grand prize, EXO deserved it... By the way, if you want to come see our showcase talk, remember to tell me in advance oh, Fighting!"
Pei Zhuxuan's tone wasn't as unrestrained as the previous few friends, but her wording also revealed a sense of closeness. It seems that after that walk together, she had shed the prejudices she had before not knowing each other, and they left each other with a pretty good impression.
The last time they parted, Ji Jingyuan said he would go see their trainees' showcase. Bae Joohyun really remembered what he said and mentioned it on purpose this time.
To be honest, he really just said it off the cuff...
"Jingyuan, congrats on winning the grand prize! EXO is really hot right now, and "Growl" is also really good. Most of my friends are your fans, and recently our dance teacher has been teaching us the "Growl" dance. The teacher said this choreography is really good. I heard that lately, including trainees from other companies, "Growl" is already a must-learn basic dance..."
Then came a summer text from Xia Wen. You didn't need to look at the dense, intricate pool scene to know it was sent by Zhou Tzuyu.
This girl doesn't talk much when they meet in person, but she always sends a flood of text messages. Sometimes she doesn't even like to break them up into paragraphs, which makes Chi Jingyuan quite annoyed.
To speak of it, it has been several months since he last saw Zhou Tzuyu. He didn't know how she was doing now. As a solo trainee from Xia Guo abroad, there were many inconveniences, but when they chatted recently, he heard that her Korean had improved a lot and she could communicate.
According to the plan, at the end of this year, the collaboration between Ji Chang Wook and Suzy will begin. In that case, he will definitely have to go to JYP company frequently. Then, I should meet her a few times then.
"Okay, okay, calm down, calm down! Take your verification photos quickly. The company is about to upload them to SNS. Right now, the news of you winning the award is trending online, and all your fans are waiting. Hurry!"
"Don't be crazy! Sehun, Chanyeol, you guys are saying that."
"Oh!"
"Roger that, bro."
Members quickly stopped their playful fight, straightened their hair and outfits in front of the mirror, then gathered together to start taking their ID photos.
The twelve EXO members are divided into two rows. The shorter ones stand in the front half-squatting, and the taller ones stand in the back, hugging the shoulders of the people in front of them.
Ji Chang Wook stood in the second position from the left at the back, his left hand resting on Doh Kyungsoo's shoulders in front of him. Kim Jun Myeon held the trophy and stood in the center of the front row. Everyone was smiling broadly, posing for the camera with their signature slogan 'weareone' and giving a thumbs-up.
After EXO took a few pictures and left the scene, SHINee came and took a few pictures. Afterwards, members of both groups got together to take a certified photo.
Among ** Entertainment's two generations of boy groups, SHINee and EXO are considered to be the best of friends. This photo features seventeen members arranged in three rows, sitting on the ground, squatting, and bending over from front to back respectively.
Ji Jingyuan stood in the middle of the last row. On his left was Zhong Hyun, and on his right was Sihao. They bent over, each holding their neighbor's shoulder with their hands, looking happily at the camera. Their pearly white teeth shone against the backdrop of smiles emanating from deep within, leaving behind this classic picture that moved countless fans to tears.
"Alright, let's pack up and get going. The company has pushed back our evening schedule and booked a large private room at the hotel for us. Let's go have a meal together and celebrate properly."
"Let's go! Don't forget your personal belongings."
So many friends' congratulatory messages, I only replied to a few in this short time. The rest can wait until I have some free time on the road to reply.
Pool Zhiyuan put his phone back in his bag and tidied up with it. Afterwards, EXO and SHINee, with their members, managers, assistants, and a few dozen other people, each took separate cars to the dinner location.
The members of the two groups sat at separate tables, and with the presence of managers and assistants from other tables, the atmosphere was filled with laughter and lively banter. The spacious private rooms buzzed with cheerful sounds.
Today was the happiest day they had in months.
