Chapter 304 Uproar(2/2)
What does it look like? Maybe the love affair will be exposed the next day. Doesn't it mean that your true colors are revealed and you have no credibility in what you say?
Therefore, Baekhyun's promise would not do any good except slap himself in the face.
Because it is impossible for an idol to fall in love at the age of 35, let alone an idol who spends all day in contact with handsome men and beautiful women and is sought after by countless fans. It is basically impossible for normal men and women to do so. It is pure nonsense.
It's okay now. The bullshit I once boasted casually just to show off has become my biggest attack point.
"Why did the company admit it directly without delaying or denying it?"
Chen scrolled up and down on his phone, frowning and asked: "Isn't it true that the media who broke the news about this kind of thing should communicate with the company first, and then the company should usually stop it?"
He said it makes sense. This is how it should be when encountering this kind of situation. Just like Girls' Generation, it is impossible to have only this one relationship for so many years. This year, everything suddenly came to light. Many of them were because SM Entertainment did not block the news.
"Who knows, maybe I don't want to stop him, maybe I can't stop him..." Wu Shixun curled his lips: "Maybe they are targeting us."
"well……"
Another sigh.
It has been smooth sailing since "Roar", or since "Wolf", until today, EXO, who are about to reach the top, finally encountered a difficult problem.
After waiting for a while, Li Chenghuan came back first. After entering, he stood in front, clapped his hands, and looked at the members seriously: "Baekhyun's incident is sudden and unexpected, but the company has already dealt with it accordingly.
Never express your opinions on SNS, and be careful to avoid them when asked by the media, do you understand?"
"Got it." They responded together.
Li Chenghuan nodded, then looked at them and said hurriedly, "In addition, Baekhyun's love affair was suddenly exposed, which caught the company off guard. It was not prepared at all... Who else among you is currently dating?"
"..." The members looked at each other and blinked, but no one spoke.
There are no fools here. I really thought that I would be lenient if I confessed. Except for Chi Jingyuan, the other members who said they were in a relationship were probably taken out and given a lecture before being asked about the situation. Then their phones were confiscated and they were ordered to break up.
Even activities may be suspended.
Although Byun Baekhyun has not come back yet, the members are aware of his fate.
XO's debut is still too short. It's only been a little over two years now, and the company is still in a period of relatively strict management. If it had been four years since it debuted, it would have a lot more freedom. Even if the company knew that the members were in love, it wouldn't be too much.
If you are serious or say more, they will even take the initiative to stop the news for you.
Li Chenghuan looked around and looked at everyone's faces. After looking at the smiling Chi Jingyuan, he shook his head helplessly. He also knew that he couldn't ask anything, but he still warned: "Even if you are in love, it is best to
Report it to the company so that the company can be prepared in advance if something like Baekhyun happens."
"Inside!"
"Jingyuan will be filming an LG commercial later. You can leave first later. Also, Baekhyun's activities today are temporarily suspended. Others don't have to wait for him. Let's continue with the rest of today's schedule and go back to the rest of the evening."
Li Chenghuan also sighed:
"That's it for now."
…………
Then Chi Jingyuan left the company with Park Jae-hyun and his assistant and rushed to the shooting location of the LG advertisement. The advertising workload for the entire line of products was very heavy, and this was his main focus during this period.
On the way to and from the car, and during the breaks during the filming of commercials, Ji Jingyuan has been using his mobile phone to check the situation on the Internet. It is still noisy and chaotic. The Instagrams of Byun Baekhyun and Kim Jisook are the hardest hit areas. The comments of these two people
Not only is the forum filled with all kinds of accusations and abusive messages, but the number of fans is also decreasing at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.
Kim Ji-sook doesn't have many fans due to the group and popularity, so it's not obvious, while Byun Baekhyun already has more than one million fans on Instagram, which ranks among the top among all EXO. He only has one afternoon of fans.
The number has decreased by more than 50,000, and these are all active fans who are usually very active.
This is only the first day.
Then there was a lot of discussion in EXO's fan club. Many fans expressed disappointment and worry. Even Ji Kyung-won's own fan club was like this. Fans were worried whether EXO would be like Girls' Generation. Baekhyun just
A beginning, and then half of the group is revealed.
In the afternoon, several big fans who knew Chi Jingyuan's contact information, such as Park Soo-na, his first fan and one of the biggest online sisters, also sent special messages to ask similar questions.
Thinking about the turmoil of Girls' Generation at the beginning of the year, it really frightened many people.
If EXO is like this...it's so scary just thinking about it.
Chi Jingyuan didn't know how to reply, so he simply explained the situation.
He knew about the love affairs of the team members, so he certainly couldn't guarantee that he would say big things. He could only guarantee that he would not be exposed.
Or even if he has some news, the company will definitely not admit it.
However, Chi Jingyuan feels that he is not in a relationship at the moment.
It was almost twelve o'clock when he went back in the evening. As soon as he opened the door and walked in to change his shoes, he saw several members sitting on the sofa talking, and Baekhyun was sitting in the middle, staring blankly at the TV.
.
"Jingyuan, you're back." Park Chanyeol greeted.
"Well, I haven't slept yet." Chi Jingyuan nodded, changed his shoes and walked in. He went to the bathroom to wash up, then walked to the living room and stood behind the sofa for a while, watching the variety show being played on TV and laughing.
laughed happily, and at the same time observed Bian Baekhyun from the corner of his eye.
As if feeling Chi Jingyuan's gaze, Bian Baoxian turned back to look at Chi Jingyuan, smiled at him, nodded slightly, and then turned back.
Byun Baekhyun and Park Chanyeol were usually one of the most cheerful and active people in the dormitory, but this time they were like dead bodies.
This guy looks really sad.
After standing for a while, Chi Jingyuan gently patted his shoulder, then walked into his bedroom and gently closed the door.
Do Kyung-soo is still on the set and I don’t know if he will be back today, but even if he is back, he will probably be there at two or three o’clock.
"what's the situation?"
Chi Jingyuan closed the door gently, then looked at Wu Shixun, who was playing with his mobile phone just now, and asked in a low voice, tapping his chin to the outside.
"It's pretty much what we thought. Cell phones were confiscated and no one was allowed to speak."
Wu Shixun waited for Chi Jingyuan to walk in and spoke in a low voice.
"Didn't you say we must break up?"
"I didn't mention that."
Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips, that's not bad.
However, although there is no need to break up, the situation of the fans is the most uncomfortable. It must be very sad for everyone to see those who once supported me unconditionally now quit one by one, and some even attack me in turn.
But this is also Baekhyun's own problem. Romance is a taboo for idols who have only just debuted.
And if you want to fall in love, just hide it in private and no one will care about you. Even if the company finds out, nothing will happen to you, but if it is exposed, you will definitely have to bear it yourself.
The atmosphere in the team was not good, and they were too lazy to talk. They leaned on the bed and checked their phones for a while before taking a rest.
Byun Baekhyun only suspended his activities for one day, and started normal activities with the group from the next day. Although Chi Kyung-won did not join the group because he was filming an LG commercial, but after he came back, he heard that Byun Baekhyun was often sternly questioned by fans during activities.
And he just bowed his head silently and left.
And it seems that in addition to losing a lot of followers on his SNS, the musical he recently starred in also suffered a large number of ticket refunds, which can be said to be a chain reaction of everything going wrong.
Even the rest of EXO has been affected to some extent, and the atmosphere within the team has been a bit tense during this period.
But to be honest, although many members complain from time to time, no one really blames Baekhyun. After all, everyone is not that honest in private. Many people are also dating in secret, and the eldest brother will not tell them.
Second brother, it’s just that he was hidden enough or lucky enough not to be exposed.
Seeing Baekhyun's appearance now, some members also felt embarrassed in their hearts, as if they had seen what they would look like one day when they were exposed.
Fortunately, Ji Jingyuan didn't have to worry about this. Li Xiuman even expressed his support for his love relationship in person before, and the news would not be exposed if he disagreed. However, his mood now is definitely not as smooth as the past few days.
Especially when I saw the amazing fighting spirit and heart-stopping resentment that many Byun Baekhyun showed after losing their fans and turning back, it really made Chi Jingyuan sigh inwardly.
A die-hard fan who quits and dislikes her is really scarier than a pure anti-fan.
Kim Ji-sook and DSP also admitted their relationship immediately after SM admitted it. However, there has been no movement from the two companies since then. The man and woman have no intention of speaking out or responding to the outside world. They buried their heads and pretended not to see it.
The Internet was in an uproar, and they just ignored it and stopped doing anything to stimulate fans' emotions.
Nearly a week passed in the blink of an eye.
At five or six in the afternoon, Chi Jingyuan had just returned to the company from the studio where the commercial was shot. After putting some things in the practice room, he put on his bag and got into the elevator and went downstairs, preparing to go to a place to eat.
He just received a call from Jin Junmian asking him when he would come back. He said that it was because some recent events had not been very good and he happened to have no schedule tonight. He was going to organize a dinner party for everyone to have a meal and drink together to relax.
There has been some tension within the team these past few days.
When he received the call, Chi Jingyuan was already in the nanny car and was about to arrive at the company, so he took advantage of the situation and said he would be there in a moment. After Jin Junmian hung up the phone, he sent the address, which was in the commercial street nearby.
A restaurant that EXO and EXO went to together once before.
Chi Jingyuan had a good impression of that store and the food tasted pretty good.
When he got out of the elevator on the first floor, Chi Jingyuan walked quickly towards the side door. It was time to eat. The scattered trainees he met next to him quickly saluted and said hello after seeing him, but
He just nodded and didn't respond.
After walking around the corner, they arrived at the side door. As soon as Chi Jingyuan turned around and looked up, he was startled. Several familiar figures were standing in the corridor next to the side door.
He immediately recognized Bae Zhuhyun, who was wearing white short-sleeved shirts and denim shorts with her back to him. Next to him was Son Seungwan and an unknown girl.
These people seemed to be waiting for someone, probably Kang Seulgi who was not here.
