Chapter 6: I Want to Be the Face, Too

shook his head, flicking sweat from his forehead. He picked up his drink and took two sips before Zheng En-di's reply came through."You're such a jerk! I tried to comfort you and you bring up my old w..."

Stop rambling and get to the point.

"

Wu Shixun didn't take Chi Gyeong-won's teasing seriously and asked again, while simultaneously scanning up and down the paper Chi Gyeong-won had written on.

"This is a report on the overall setting of the song 《growl》 that Teacher Lee Xiuman gave me. He will adopt some suggestions based on the situation."

Qi Jingyuan briefly explained, adding: "Growl is the one I wrote, it's one of the title tracks for our comeback this time."

"Growl Roar What kind of strange song title is this"

Wu Shixun pondered the song title, a little unsure about Ji Jingyuan's creative inspiration. He couldn't quite figure out what "Roaring" meant.

But he still seemed interested and went on to ask, "Is this song good Could it be a hit Is it easy to sing"

He was genuinely curious about the title track for this comeback, after all, it was the hope for the group's revival.

"The songs I wrote, of course, are good-sounding. Teacher Lee Soo-man chose it as the title track, naturally because he felt it had the potential to be a big hit. As for whether it's easy or not to sing..."

Chi Jingyuan continued to write, his eyes fixed on the page, and he replied faintly.

When he heard the last question, the corner of his mouth twitched. He couldn't help but glance at Wu Shixun obliquely, and replied in a strange tone:

Does this concern you Whether it's difficult to sing or easy to sing, you might only get two lines at most, maybe even less... Why care about something that has nothing to do with you

"Hey, that's really hurtful. I'm a handsome guy, looks are all that matters! You think everyone's a monster like you Good looks and singing voice"

Wu Shi-hsuan glared back at Ji Jingyuan, his brow furrowed in displeasure.

"May your life be filled with happiness and prosperity."

Ji Jingyuan first smiled, nodding sincerely in gratitude for the compliment. Then he immediately straightened his face and corrected Wu Shixun:

“Just give me the points, everyone! Officially, it's Park Chan-wook. Your title is what fans say because you look handsome privately, but if we talk about fan popularity, I would definitely be considered a "face" too. Maybe Luhan is also one Junmian hyung can ride this wave too...”

"What's so exciting"

Several members gathered around.

"

Inside, Seohyun and I were discussing which members in the group are the most handsome and could be the face of the group.

"

Chi Jingyuan's words left everyone stunned, they looked at each other.

"Does this need to be discussed I definitely count as one."

Kim Jun-Mian adjusted his hair in the mirror, shaking his bangs with a confident swagger before letting out a flying remark.

"If you can calculate, then I must also be capable."

"Hey, what are you guys talking about I'm the official face here, aren't I"

"What kind of lead singer am I not Even if I'm this handsome, I still have to be the facade..."

"Zhongda, will you do it"

"I..."

"What are you thinking, in a group of twelve, eleven are just faces. You're the only one who's truly embarrassing."

"

Well then...

The next day they flew to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia by plane. After landing at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, they checked into a nearby hotel.

This year, the Golden Disc Awards chose to be held overseas in order to expand the influence of KPOP. The location is at the Sepang International Circuit in Kuala Lumpur, which is not far from the international airport and offers convenient transportation.

This was originally a motorsports racetrack, starting in 1999 it hosted events like the Malaysian Grand Prix Formula One race. However, recently it has been converted into a venue similar to a concert hall.

After spending the night getting ready at the hotel, they headed back to the venue early the next morning. They went through their routine of rehearsals, positioning, and makeup, all of which they were very familiar with and went off without a hitch.

The award ceremony was held as scheduled in the evening and was broadcast live throughout by JTBC.

As expected, EXO-K won the newcomer award in the album department.

As a newly debuted boy group that wasn't very popular, their sales were surprisingly high. And as Park Chanyeol gained popularity in the latter half of 2012, EXO's fame also rose steadily.

This newcomer award carries a lot of weight, it's a huge recognition for a rookie group.

The members were all very happy. Kim Jun-myeon gave his acceptance speech in Korean, and then he pulled Ji-sung over to have him say a few words in English to Xia Wen separately.

A significant number of Chinese and English-speaking people were watching below. Qi Jingyuan's bilingual speech caused a wave of cheers from the audience, the atmosphere was very lively.

And many viewers watching the live stream were also amazed by Chi Jingyuan's good foreign languages, which further improved their already good impression of him.

EXO's fans can show off online again.

And winning alongside Team K was a rookie female solo singer, Juniel, from FNC Entertainment.

This company is very close to **, practically just around the corner. It's almost like a neighbor.

Before, Chi Jingyuan didn't really see her much. After a glance, he didn't pay much attention to her anymore.

After receiving the awards, they began preparing for their stage performance. The 12-member group performed two songs on stage, and this year's Golden Disc Awards concluded perfectly.

The next day, EXO flew back to the peninsula by plane. They had spent almost sixteen or seventeen hours in the air over the past two days.

Qi Jingyuan, taking advantage of these few days of free time, also organized his opinions on the song "Roaring" and printed them out on the computer after returning to the company. He directly handed it to Lee Soo-man, who promised to study and consider his suggestions seriously.

He was indeed serious, not at all perfunctory. After Chi Jingyuan's farewell, Li Xiuman put on his glasses and picked up the report, reading it seriously. His narrowed eyes flickered occasionally with a gleam, and he would sometimes pick up a pen to circle certain paragraphs in the report and write down his thoughts after deliberation.

From his actions, it seems he was quite satisfied, and also a little surprised.

The meeting regarding EXO's comeback plan was officially held on the afternoon of January 20th in a large conference room on the fourth floor of the company.

EXO arrived first, followed by several managers. After waiting for a few minutes, the relevant personnel from the artist management department, record planning department, and other related departments also came in and took their seats.

Every incoming member of management, including Chi Jingyuan, would stand up and bow to greet them. Finally, when Lee Soo-man and Kim Young-min, along with several other responsible directors entered the room, everyone stood up out of respect.

After Li Xiuman said a few polite words, the meeting officially began.

EXO this time basically just wore headphones to listen in, whatever the company arranged for them to do, they just had to do it. Besides Park Jiung, I guess the others didn't really have the right to voice their opinions.
