nternally" 。The members listened attentively to the teachers' comments, nodding in agreement. 。When EXO debuted, their abilities were mocked by many. Many people ridiculed them as being weak and the...As the two were whispering to each other, Twice and Gfriend slowly walked over from the passageway. It was time for these two groups' special stages again. Although they are rookie girl groups, both Twice and Gfriend have been quite busy on tonight's special program.

Whether it's the program team who really believes in them, or the agency putting in effort.

Twice changed into a new outfit again, the pink fuzzy sweater with fluffy edges looked very soft, paired with a light-colored short skirt, the intention to be cute was very obvious.

At a glance, some members were indeed quite cute, giving off a youthful and girly vibe.

But unfortunately, Zhou Tzuyu isn't very suitable for this kind of clothes and color. She is a bit tall and has a larger frame. Wearing this cute outfit looks strangely awkward, and although she finally showed her legs, her skin seems to look a little darker against the light pink backdrop.

I just looked at her expression, and I felt she was quite satisfied with the way she looked in her clothes. She seemed to think she looked pretty good.

There were quite a few people around, but Ji-seong and Joo-hyuk just nodded their heads in greeting to the two groups and didn't say much. The entire exit area seemed rather quiet. Amidst the loud AOA song "Heart Attack" echoing from outside, only a few pairs of eyes met occasionally.

After a short while, AOA's stage ended and Gfriend quickly walked off. A few minutes later, Twice also took the stage under PD's direction.

They performed ’s this time, which is a classic song from an old girl group.

After they went on stage and started their performance, Ji Jingyuan perked up and moved closer to watch. After a while, he figured out that the stage rehearsal he had been reprimanded for by Jin Nancheng earlier should have been this 《yayaya》 stage.

He felt that the overall singing was average because there were a lot of live mics on stage. Even with accompaniment and backing tracks, each person's breath and tone were still quite clear. Most members' breath control was pretty average.

Especially Momoko, every time her part comes, the overall pitch immediately drops, and her voice gets much softer. Hearing this from Kiyozuka who is more professional, it sounds quite awkward and out of place, making his fake voice jarring to listen to.

He looked for a while, not counting rap, he felt that the entire Twice group, except for Park Jihyo and Nayeon, could sing. The others were somewhat lacking.

Momoko Tanaka is the most liked.

But on stage, singing ability is only one part, and not the most important. All the factors are just there to serve the overall stage effect.

And the style of this kind of song is selling cute, twice in the middle of many people pretending to be cute also have a set, so in the clothing matching, the overall effect is actually quite OK.

Especially Asahina Minatsuki, she looked very energetic on stage at this time. After touch-ups, her smile in front of the camera was also very sweet. No one would be able to tell that she had just cried a moment ago, and cried so pitifully.

Wow, as expected of a female idol. Her performance skills seem to come naturally. As soon as she's on stage and in front of the camera, she puts her best foot forward and gives it her all.

That's really professional.

After TWICE's performance, looking at Sana who walked into the hallway with Tzuyu, catching their breath and whispering to each other, Ikegami Kengo sighed in his heart. There was no trace of the sweet smile she had on stage.

After co-hosting the opening with Park Ji-hyun again, Ji-sung quickly returned to EXO's waiting room to change clothes.

Today, there are two songs. "" is already prerecorded, and the focus of the other song, "", is the stage performance. Following Ji-sung's suggestion, this time's "" stage will be a cosplay theme. Each member will wear costumes of different professions and take the stage, aiming to bring fans the greatest surprise and joy.

Pilots, race car drivers, chefs, mechanics, and delivery drivers...

Chi Jingyuan plays a doctor. The light white lab coat paired with blue undershirt and pants, coupled with his tall figure, surprisingly looks very good overall. With his sunny smile, even Cody sister, who collaborated with him, was impressed at first glance.

“Wow, how come you always look so natural in these outfits for special stages” Woo Se-hoon, dressed as a repairman with some grime and dirt painted on his face, looked at the freshly changed Choi Kyeng-won with some envy. He then glanced at his own outfit and felt a little awkward.

"...If it's just once, it might be a clothing issue."

Ji Jingyuan spread his hands and let Cody sister help him organize his clothes and collar. After glancing at Wu Shixun who was feeling sore in the back through the mirror, he calmly stated the facts: "But if this happens every time, then maybe it's a problem with people."

"Haha..." laughter and the middle finger appeared at the same time, but Cody sister beside him turned her head and said fair words: "Jingyuan's outfit is very stylish, so it's comfortable to look at... But Sehun, this one looks good too. Our stage outfits today are really unique."

After changing clothes, Ji Jingyuan followed the members to the studio entrance and waited in the wings. As soon as he arrived, he met Bae Suzy who was standing by the wall alone with a script in her hand. He clearly saw that when the younger sister saw him, she blinked her eyes, and there was a clear flash in her eyes.

Having been MCs together for so long, Ji Jingyuan didn't shy away and walked straight over.

"Is this it, doctor" Pei Joo-hyeon surveyed the approaching Ji Kyeong-won with an appreciative gaze, though her tone was confident despite the question.

Pool Geon just nodded but didn't speak. He walked closer to the back, facing away from the other members, looked at Jennie, and smiled, mouthing the words 'Isn't this perfect'

"..."

The elder sister was quite generous. After seeing clearly what Chi Jingyuan had mouthed, she suddenly smiled, her eyes crinkling at the corners as she nodded. She even reached out to pat a bump on his white coat.

Although Chi Jingyuan could feel the gazes from behind, the other eight members were very tactful and stood three to four meters away. They didn't approach, but just watched from behind, whispering to each other.

"EXO is getting ready to go on stage."

After waiting for a few minutes, the director gave instructions. They lined up and walked onto the stage, passing Apink who had just come in from outside and were leaving the stage. They briefly exchanged glances and quickly went on stage as the music started playing.

"Ahhhh..."

As EXO strode confidently onto the stage, the fans and audience who had been eagerly awaiting their appearance erupted in cheers. The excitement reached a fever pitch when they saw their outfits, sending another wave of screams through the venue.

This specially prepared stage brings a completely different level of joy to the audience compared to ordinary performances, especially with EXO's outfits today which are very interesting.

He gazed at me with a smile blossoming.

"Girl, don't you know, it's hard for me to act like nothing happened."

Pool Jingyuan sat on the prop bench with several others, immediately crossing their legs. Dokyung Soo, dressed in a security uniform, brandished a baton and waved it around for an introduction before singing. He couldn't help but laugh as he sang.

Although it was a comedic moment, it didn't feel out of place in this entertaining setting. Instead, many viewers found themselves smiling along, and the atmosphere became even more lively.

As one of the dual lead tracks for the winter special edition, "Favoritism" departs from EXO's usual intense and cool dance style. The choreography is very simple, incorporating props like stools and some interaction. It's similar to gymnastics routines with lots of arm movements that create a wave-like effect, making it easy to follow along.

Now, there are many more cute gestures and expressions. Paired with the cheerful accompaniment and music, it's definitely a song that makes you feel happy when you hear it and your mood improves when you see the stage performance.

"Girlgirlbemylove! Every night we have long phone calls!"

"Girlgirlbemylove! Come on, it's time to fall for me!"

As the song reached its end, EXO formed two lines surrounding a few stools, with some sitting and others standing. The nine members moved back and forth following the music, waving their arms and creating a wave-like shape. Their movements were effortless, natural, and synchronized. Each member had a bright smile on their face, which also made the audience below laugh along and involuntarily sway their arms to the rhythm. The joyous atmosphere filled the entire studio.

"Oh baby fall is falling in love…"

At the end of the last line, as they entered the ending, all the members simultaneously pointed at Ji-yeong, who was sitting in the middle of the front row. Ji-yeong lightly squinted with a smile, tilted his head, and made a gesture of blooming flowers with both hands while holding his chin. He looked a little embarrassed but still gave off an adorable vibe.

"Ahhhh..."

The effect was very good. The audience who were just laughing happily immediately started cheering and screaming along.

From Chi Jingyuan's perspective, it seemed as if he could clearly see every audience member in the crowd. He saw every face, whether filled with joy or excitement. Many people were waving glowsticks frantically, and a somewhat contradictory atmosphere of both relaxation and enthusiasm hung around everyone.

The effect of this stage is really good, they didn't disappoint the audience.

After performing a pre-recorded version of "boywithluv," EXO's performance ended there for today, leaving the fans cheering in disappointment. The last performer was BLUE, the most senior guest this year.

There was only one performance left, and they didn't have time to change clothes. They waited at the entrance in their cosplay outfits. At this time, all the other performers began to gather here, and soon the entire studio entrance was crowded. All the idols stood against the walls on both sides, leaving a passage in the middle, whispering to each other and preparing for their final farewell.

After the BLUE stage ended, before the instruments were taken down, all the artists, led by MCs Jiyoung and Seulgi, returned to the stage. It was a coincidence that Red Velvet happened to stand behind Seulgi, while EXO stood behind Jiyoung, filling the first row with both groups directly.

"Irenexi, what are your thoughts after watching tonight's performance"

"It's really wonderful to spend this Christmas with so many amazing stages."

"Yes, me too."

The two MCs stood in the middle, marking the end of the show. In a white dress, the changed-into outfit Ji-hwan looked surprisingly well paired with Ji-won, who remained in his white lab coat from before.

He certainly dressed with style. Ever since he was in the hallway, Ji Jingyuan felt that many female idols were subtly looking his way.

"Heartiest thanks to all who loved 'Music Bank' and watched the program."

"Well then, let's have our final farewell!"

The two were locking eyes and speaking in perfect sync, finishing their lines. At that very moment, a sudden 'sizzle' sound echoed from above, white powder raining down from the sky. The artificially made snowflakes, meant to enhance the atmosphere, instantly covered Chi Kyung-won and Jeon Joo-hyun standing directly beneath them. Their hair, eyes, eyelashes, and even the microphones in their hands were all coated with a layer of white snow.

Although it was a bit awkward and sticky, the two people were still very professional in managing their expressions. They still struggled to keep their eyes open and smiled at the camera: "When you need music..."

Saying that, the two of them habitually turned their heads to look at each other, watching each other's faces covered in white snow looking a little embarrassed. Their mouths puckered simultaneously before they both burst into laughter together.

With a smile that couldn't help but be mischievous, and both covered in snowflakes, the two leaned towards each other, coming together to form a heart shape with their hands. They shouted out the last line in unison:

"Live broadcast... Musik!"

The screams from the stage had already reached a fever pitch during their eye contact, it's unknown how many fans who ship YinCP will screenshot that eye contact and the heart gesture afterwards, turning them into classic scenes to cherish for years.

As the chorus of "Jingle Bells" ended, everyone bowed to the audience and walked off stage. The faces of Ji-yeong and Seulgi, who had been smiling happily just moments ago, immediately turned sour as they quickly patted the snow off their faces and bodies.

This thing I don't know what material it's made of, it's sticky on the body and a little itchy.

Then came after, Do Kyung-Soo and Park Chan-Yeol. Even Red Velvet's Kim Ye-Rin and a few others quickly laughed and rushed forward to help, quickly patting the snow off their bodies and faces.

When the two people were surrounded by members, they looked at each other with a knowing glance, their expressions relaxed and their eyes twinkling with suppressed laughter.

"Oh, lightly." At this moment, Ji Jingyuan frowned and glanced at Wu Shixun who had just slapped him hard, always feeling that this person was taking revenge.

EXO and Red Velvet were quite the hot topic, gathering a crowd in the hallway. Many other idols kept glancing over from time to time. More familiar groups like Apink and AOA even came over to chat for a bit. Meanwhile, Twice, being closer by, had some members giggling with GOT7, but many of them also kept stealing glances towards EXO and Red Velvet, looking for just a second or two before quickly looking away.

After waiting for about ten minutes and thanking all the program staff, we formally disbanded. Hundreds of people queued toward the direction of the resting room. The corridor, which was not spacious to begin with, immediately became crowded, and it took quite a while to move even a step.

"Jǐngyuán, are you going back to the studio or the dormitory tonight"

Ahead, the path was blocked and no one could move. Even EXO, who were at the back of the line, were chatting casually. Kim Jun-myeon glanced forward and asked Chi Kyung-won,

"I'll be back at the set tomorrow afternoon... but I have something to do at the company after this, and it's going to be quite late when I get back." Ji Jingyuan replied after some thought.

When he was speaking, Zhou Tzuyu, who was standing in front of him, glanced back at him. Ji Jingyuan looked over, and she quickly turned away, leaving him with only the back of her head.

"By the way, you're running low on snacks in your cupboard. You should buy some more." Wu Shixun remembered something and reminded him.

Kim Jun-myeon immediately nodded in agreement, saying: "Remember to buy a bit more of those chocolate bars and cheese."

"But you can afford houses and cars, why can't you afford snacks"

Originally, many members of EXO liked to snack. Everyone would buy some for themselves, but for some reason, fewer people started buying snacks as time went on. Everyone tacitly agreed to mooch off of Park Ji-seong instead, going to him every other day to grab a bite. It's become a habit now.

Although it was a bit speechless, they were just some small snacks and didn't cost much. Chi Jingyuan simply placed all the food he bought in the box at his room door. Anyone who wanted to eat could just take them.

"Haha, this kind of thing, if you buy it yourself, it's not as tasty. It's only delicious when you get it from someone else..." Park Chan-wook laughed and gave a knowing nod.

"That's right, I bought a few and they were just average. You always have good taste, Jingyuan. Everything you buy tastes great..." Bian Berxian chimed in.

As Chi Jingyuan rolled his eyes at the other members, a few people in front of him seemed to have heard something. They turned their heads quickly to glance back and then returned to what they were doing.

After waiting for two minutes, the crowd in front finally thinned out, and the flow of people behind started to move. Ji-seong didn't go back to the resting room with the other members, but went to the MC's designated waiting room with Soo-hyeon instead. His things were still there.

After the two of them returned to the waiting room together, they started packing up. At this time, the manager was not around, and the door to the waiting room was ajar. Outside, there was still a commotion with frequent footsteps and voices, making the inside feel rather stuffy. Pei Zhuxuan, who had been cheerful just moments ago, suddenly fell silent.

"I'm leaving now."

Ji Jingyuan tidied up and then slung his single shoulder bag over. He glanced at the person sitting on the sofa, side-leaning as she checked her own bag—Park Jihyun—and was about to leave when he was called back by her.

"...and so on."

Pei Zhuhyun didn't turn her head as she spoke, still fiddling with her bag. Only when Ji Jingyuan curiously walked over did she lightly rise to her feet. Her eyes were like water, a hint of reproach, yet laced with gentleness as she looked at him. At the same time, she took out a wrapped gift box from her bag and proactively reached out to take Ji Jingyuan's hand, pressing it firmly into his palm:

"Here you go."
