Chapter Forty-Four: Confirmation of Role

ks about this, he feels unbalanced inside.Closing his eyes for a moment, Chi Jingyuan shook his head and opened them. He took a look at the surrounding decor.The ceiling was white, with pale-colored w...The production team moved quickly, they were likely very pleased with Ji Chang Wook's performance, and the next day they sent an offer and contract to ** company.

And the ** liaison had already received signals from upper management that they should adopt an open attitude towards all personal information invitation requests made by Park Ji-young herself, with no intention of obstruction. They only coordinated the shooting schedule to avoid interfering with EXO-K's activities.

Both sides discussed very amicably and quickly reached an agreement.

In this way, Ji Chang-wook is confirmed to participate in the TV drama "Reply 1997" and will play the male lead role of Yoon Yun-jae.

The TV series plan to be broadcast on the cable channel tvN in late July, there are almost two months left.

He has already started preparing for the role in various ways, including getting a haircut, memorizing lines, and working out.

Chi Jingyuan is a typical thin type. He enjoys trying all kinds of delicacies and snacks in his spare time, but no matter how much he eats, he just doesn't gain weight. This unique advantage allows him to avoid various diets like other idols.

He has always been exercising and keeping his body in great shape.

The most important part of preparation is learning the Busan dialect. Most Korean television dramas are filmed with live sound recordings on set, so there are very high demands on the actors' lines.

He has been preparing all this time, ready to join the set for filming as soon as they call.

While preparing, Jiyeong also needs to balance her activities on the EXO-K stage.

Although K-team's debut wasn't smooth, their performance on music shows is a weekly must and they stay for a very long time. The company really put in the effort.

When EXO-K first debuted, She was still promoting.

Sheena finished singing and went to a concert. The Girls' Generation subunit TTS officially debuted and is still promoting.

Now TTS is also ending their music show activities, but EXO-K are still active on various music shows.

It looks like it will continue for a while.

However, singing programs have already become one of their few opportunities to be exposed. Every time an award is presented, all the artists will gather on stage.

The host stood in the middle at the front, with a substitute standing on each side.

And at this time, EXO-K would always stand in the last one or two rows of the crowd, completely disappearing into it.

The camera lens was completely blocked by the people in front. Only occasionally, when the lens swept past, would she tiptoe up and smile, brushing against the screen for a few frames.

Other senior groups' attitudes towards them were also relatively cold. When they first debuted, many girl group members came to greet them, discreetly passing notes and asking for phone numbers. Now, this is basically invisible.

The male group is not popular, and they don't even have the confidence to approach women.

Chi Jingyuan may have some exceptions, but only a little.

This feeling is really not good.

However, compared to those groups who haven't even made it onto televised singing competitions and can only perform on the streets for a living, they are already quite fortunate. We can't ask for more.

There's news going around that MBC Music's "Show! Champion" and SBS's "Inkigayo" might be taking a very long hiatus in the second half of the year. This means there will be two fewer music show stages for artists to perform on.

I don't know if this is good news or bad news.

Ki Chang-won didn't hide the news that he got cast in a TV drama, and soon all the members of Team K knew. However, the members didn't say anything. They had already noticed Ki Chang-won's uniqueness within the company.

While it's hard to say all successful idols are shrewd, they certainly aren't dumb. Just look at how Lee Soo Man would call people over for chats every other day. That's not the treatment an ordinary person receives.

No one expressed dissatisfaction.

Of course, after so long together, even if someone is unhappy, they wouldn't say it out loud on the surface. They still have some emotional intelligence.

While others didn't show much, Doyoung expressed his envy directly. His intense eyes were fixed on the script in Ji-won's hand, looking incredibly covetous, as if he wanted to snatch it away.

Do Kyung Soo actually also wants to be an actor, but since the group's situation is what it is now, there's nothing he can really ask for.

"Jingyuan Fightg, strive for the broadcast to be a hit, then all of us members will go visit him on set, and we can also make an appearance to increase exposure."

Captain Kim Jun-myeon quickly adjusted his mindset and encouraged,

It's clear that as the captain, he's really worried about K team's situation, but there isn't much he can do.

"Ani, Jun-myeon oppa, it's just a small production. Even the PDs are first-timers. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten this role." Ji-sung waved his hand, indicating that the drama wasn't promising. He was just lucky to have landed the part.

"No matter what, it's an opportunity, fightg…" Kim Jun-myeon patted Park Kyung-won's shoulder and sighed.

"By the way, we still need to practice the 'Sorry, sorry' ver stage tonight. Don't forget," Kim Jun-myeon reminded before leaving.

At the Dream Concert on May 30th, EOX-K got the opportunity to perform. Besides performing their signature song "MAMA," they also had a one-minute and thirty-second cover stage.

The performance was a song by the senior group SJ, “Sorry, Sorry”. They had practiced many times already, so it wasn’t very difficult.

Thus, Ji Jingyuan's path as an actor was set.

…………

Inside a moving van, the manager of girl group Apk was earnestly speaking to member Jung Eun-ji who was sitting in the back seat:

"Ah, this opportunity is really great, I must seize it well."

Although Li Minghan PD and his team are first-time TV drama producers, their previous variety shows were very successful and they have a wide network of contacts in the industry, which can compensate for their lack of experience.

"The supporting cast of this drama is also very strong. Although... it might not become a huge hit, for someone with absolutely no acting experience, it's definitely the best choice."

"The company has put in a lot of effort to help you get an audition. Come on!"

"Don't worry, just relax..."

Apk's agent, while driving, chattered incessantly like an old woman, but before he could finish, I cut him off.

"Oppa!"

Unable to concentrate any longer, Jung Eun-ji, who had been diligently studying the script, bit her teeth and shouted, "Don't you know that the more you talk, the more nervous I get!"

Her voice trembled, and you could tell she was genuinely anxious.

"Alas, alas~"

The agent nodded to show he understood, holding the steering wheel in one hand and waving lightly with the other, indicating he would remain silent.

He wasn't even settled for half a minute before his manager couldn't help but speak up: "Endi, it's not that Oppa is nagging, it really is…"

"Ah..."

Jeong Eun Ji couldn't help but shout, flinging the script she was reading onto her face and collapsing back into her seat, looking like she was about to explode.

The agent's mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out.
