Chapter 23: New Look

reak, they went straight to KBS television station.Tonight, there is also a Peninsula Culture and Arts Award ceremony that K-Team needs to attend and perform on stage.By the end of the year, award cer...This past month, EXO has truly been putting in the hard work. They wake up early every day and head to the company to practice dancing, record music, and prepare for their comeback. They're exhausted by late at night before heading back to the dorms to sleep, only to repeat it all again the next day.

Although there's no comeback right now and they don't have to run any shows or attend events, everyone feels that this preparation period is even more tiring than the time after their debut last year.

And among all the members, Chi Jingyuan is probably the most exhausted one. Besides practicing with the other members, due to the popularity of O-sports, he also has several personal advertisements that need to be filmed.

Besides, in March, he finished his leave of absence and officially enrolled as a freshman at Yonsei University.

Luckily, my second brother has already communicated with them, so he doesn't need to go to school frequently. However, he can't stay away all the time either; every once in a while, he still needs to show his face there.

And even if he didn't attend classes, his studies were still necessary. Important exams also had to be taken. This became the biggest headache for Chi Jingyuan. He could only spare some time each day to read textbooks and calm himself down to study.

He felt this was much more tiring than practicing dancing.

In this way, it persisted for over a month, preparing diligently and intently.

Recording for the twelve tracks on the original album is almost complete, with only two non-title tracks left to record. However, those are nearing completion as well.

The dance for the title track "Wolf" has been practiced extensively and repeated countless times, so it's now quite proficient. Currently, we're just fine-tuning the details. The members have been practicing together to ensure the group dance is more synchronized, and then it will meet the standard for performing on stage.

The progress of returning to work has exceeded the company's expectations, and it's a testament to the hard work our members have put in over this period.

Today is March 14th, and all the members of EXO are currently at a photo studio in Samseong-dong with their manager and assistants, working on album cover and pictorial shoots.

This photography studio is well-known. Aside from having a complete set of facilities and equipment, it also has its own beauty salon for artists to do their makeup and styling.

Before the official filming has begun, several PD-like individuals are directing crew members who are setting up the scenery and lighting. There are quite a few crew members bustling around, coming and going, making the scene seem rather lively.

It should have just started, judging by this progress, it will still take a long time to set up.

While the members were getting their makeup done in a nearby beauty room, the company's Cody was styling their hair.

When EXO debuted, their design received a lot of negative criticism and ridicule because of its appearance. This was one of the major factors that led to a difficult debut for them.

** Company, of course, won't be stubborn for the sake of money. They have learned from the last experience and lessons, including makeup, hairstyles, and clothing. This time, they have invited brand new and most capable stylists who have collaborated with the company to design a completely new style for all the members in their comeback.

Every individual in this comeback has undergone a drastic change in their image compared to their debut.

There aren't enough stylists to do hair for twelve people at once, so they have to take turns.

"Congrats on your return today, I watched the MV and the styling looks great, Fighting!"

Ji Jingyuan was currently sitting on a small sofa in the corner of the beauty salon, languidly leaning against the backrest. He was texting someone on his phone and occasionally glanced at the members who were getting their hair styled.

This is for Kim Ya-rong. They've been in frequent contact since they exchanged contact information at the Oddysee Games exchange.

This girl had a good impression of Ji Jingyuan during the sports meeting. She kept chatting with him during the recording, and she didn't act too clingy on her phone afterwards. Her tone was pretty friendly. Now the two are quite familiar with each other and they occasionally flirt and joke around.

Girls' Day made their official comeback today with the release of their first regular album. Ji-yeong didn't forget about this and sent a message to congratulate them.

They EXO are also preparing for a comeback album, he can understand the fatigue of the preparation period, as well as the anticipation for the comeback.

This time he didn't just skim it, he actually watched the other person's MV.

Because the album cover is quite eye-catching, and Kim Yeong Ryong's image this time is more appealing, it suits his aesthetics pretty well.

Since their debut in 2010, Girls' Day has not had much popularity and can be considered one of the less well-known groups. Their last comeback mini album, "Girl's Day Party #5," took a vibrant and youthful approach, but it didn't garner any attention and flopped directly.

This time, they completely changed their style that they have insisted on since their debut. They went for the most popular sexy style among girl groups in recent years. Their overall image and style can be considered a complete makeover.

After watching the MV, Ji Kyung-won felt that the chorus melody of the title track "Expect" was also quite catchy.

Moreover, the catchy back-dancing in the main song, paired with this time's styling, might not be a huge hit. However, he thinks it will at least garner some attention and make a splash.

"Do you like this style" Kim Yeong-ro replied immediately.

"You're wearing eyeliner a bit heavier than usual, but everything else looks good. The clothes really accentuate your figure, and you just happen to... But when did your hair get so long I remember seeing you before with short hair."

"kkkkkk How could it grow that fast That's a wig, isn't it!"

One was proactive and the other was willing, they chatted for a while, but now that they were both working, they didn't have much time to joke around with Chi Jingyuan and the girl. Before long, it was his turn.

"Jingyuan, it's your turn."

"Here we are.

Ji Jingyuan said goodbye to Kim Ya-rong, put away his phone, and walked over to the mirror to sit down. At the same time, he smiled and chatted with the stylist who was doing his hair, someone he'd known before: "Nuna, my look should be better than before this time, right"

"Of course, Jingyuan, your image design is very important to the company. This time we really designed a new hairstyle, and the hair color was also determined after discussion. We all think it suits you very well."

The stylist sister seems to appreciate Ji Jingyuan quite a bit, and she smiled and greeted him.

"If so, then I'll leave it to you, Nunna."

Qi Jingyuan nodded and sat there motionless.

His hair underwent a dramatic transformation under the stylist's hands.

When everything was finished, Chi Jingyuan looked at his brand new hairstyle in the mirror and pursed his lips, momentarily at a loss for words.

After staring for a long time, he hesitantly asked:

"Nunna, this look of mine... isn't it a bit over the top"
