kfired...Because they mostly performed the poorly-reviewed 《MAMA》 on stage.Every time they take the stage, a wave of negative comments follows them like a shadow.And after so many days of fermentation...“CUT.”

"Very good, done."

With the director's announcement, the music video filming for EXO's winter special album "December's Miracle" title track has officially wrapped up.

Yesterday, the summer version was finished filming, and today, the Korean version was finished filming.

They began preparing as early as 11 months ago, and by today, they have basically finished all aspects of the album. All that remains is the post-production work handled by the company.

Being able to complete all the work for this special album in such a short time was mainly due to the fact that the biggest challenge for this ballad album was recording, and thanks to the hard work of EXO's main vocalist LINE, the recording process went very smoothly, which greatly accelerated the overall progress.

After the director announced that filming was complete, several people on set let out a collective sigh of relief. Assistants rushed onstage to put warm coats on them.

In the MV, Chi Jingyuan's outfits consist of combinations of warm suits and high-necked sweaters. They are both seasonally appropriate and stylishly handsome.

But as December approaches, it's been getting colder these days. This outfit alone isn't quite warm enough.

After the director and staff had bowed to each other, as they were packing up their equipment, the members were gathered together by Lee Seung-hwant for a small meeting.

I've received the company notification, 《December's Miracle》release date is set for December 9th. The initial stage and first week's music show performances will have D.O. as the main vocalists, and Lay will be in charge of playing the piano.

Starting from the second week, all members except Jingyuan will need to be present during the song performance stage, though they won't participate in the performance. However, everyone will have to appear during the voting segment to avoid giving the impression that this is a sub-unit's comeback. EXO currently has no plans for a sub-unit release...

Lee Seung-hwan took out a notebook and introduced it to the members, then looked in the direction of Ji Kyeong-won:

As for Jingyuan, your schedule and the members' will be temporarily adjusted. Because "The Heirs" and Kim Tan are currently very popular, with extremely high popularity throughout Asia, after you finish filming the drama, the company will arrange for you to go to Xia Guo and Thailand for a period of activities first. You will not participate in this comeback promotion and singing performances initially.

"Your activities within Asia are tentatively scheduled to end in mid-to-late December. You'll return to the peninsula for some promotional activities and prepare for your year-end stage. Then, you will reunite for a week of music show promotions."

"The company and JYP's collaboration project has also been confirmed, and it will officially begin in early January next year. We will coordinate your schedule at that time."

"Do you all understand" Lee Seung-hwan looked at the members.

"That's it."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

“Because this year's MAMA will be held on the 22nd, still on Hong Kong Island, we will fly there a day earlier, in the morning of the 21st. The company has already booked the flight and hotel for that day. We will be going with senior groups who are also participating in this award ceremony.”

Lee Seong-hwan flipped through a page of his notebook and then said to Ji Kyeong-won, "The company has already negotiated with the 'Inheritors' drama team and gave you two days off."

However, in order to ensure sufficient filming volume, starting from the 18th, Jingyuan, you will need to stay at the studio and work overtime to catch up on your scenes. You won't be able to participate in any other schedules anymore.

Those two days might be a bit tiring, so you should be prepared and pay attention to your physical condition.

"Okay, I understand, Gege."

Chi Jingyuan nodded calmly, indicating that he understood.

They have been tired for several months and don't care about these days anymore.

Okay, for the last half month of 2013, our plan is roughly this: This year was the year XO became a major trend, I know you've all been working really hard recently, but these last few weeks are also our harvest time. Starting with MAMA in a few days, this time we not only have to continue winning awards, but we also want the whole world to hear our name.

"EXO, Fighting!"

Last, looking at the members whose spirits seemed a little low, Lee Seonghwan encouraged them loudly, reaching out his right hand and giving a fist bump.

Members standing in a circle also simultaneously extended one hand each to form a stack, and shouted.

"Fight!"

………………

"Jǐngyuán, what would you like to drink"

"Coffee, but please no ice. It's too cold lately, I want a hot one."

"OK."

Park Jae-hyun made a gesture with his hand, then turned and quickly walked away.

People on the Peninsula drink iced coffee all year round, which makes Chi Jingyuan, who has lived in America and Xia Guo for many years, quite uncomfortable, especially during the recent cold snap when it's freezing, he definitely wants to drink hot beverages.

Today is November 18th. Chi Jingyuan's first day working overtime on set, and it's past eleven at night, but the set is still bustling with activity, lively and energetic.

This is the norm for the production crew, especially for popular dramas. Basically, they don't wrap up until late at night. Recently, because of negotiations with the production team, Park Ji-won's scenes will be concentrated on filming in the morning and afternoon. By evening, he usually has already been back at the company practicing with the other members.

And today, Ji Jingyuan, who was working overtime, saw the brightly lit film crew at night and suddenly remembered when they were filming "Reply 1997" last year. Back then, they were also busy until one or two in the morning, but everyone was very spirited and full of energy.

And he also has a very compatible best friend, Jung Eun-ji, who accompanies him. They often bicker and tease each other playfully, which is quite amusing.

...and a year later, the cast of "The Heirs" seems to be the same, and there's still one person accompanying him...

"Well then..."

Jeong Se-ah handed him a cup of hot coffee, then sat down on the stool she had moved earlier.

It's obvious she came specifically to pick up the coffee for Chi Jingyuan, because basically no one else on the entire film set drinks hot coffee besides him.

Thank you.

Of course, Chi Jingyuan wouldn't say something like, "No need, my assistant has already gone to get me coffee," that would ruin the mood. He opened the lid, sniffed it lightly, then took a sip. With some curiosity, he held the cup in his hand and asked, "Is there your body heat on the cup I don't know why, but I feel warm inside."

"Then, wouldn't you hope for it"

Jung So-jung tilted her head and stared into his eyes, her gaze clearly conveying something both of them understood.

As time goes by, she's been getting more and more direct in her interactions lately, sometimes even without trying to hide it.

Seeing that Chi Jingyuan didn't speak, he just raised an eyebrow at her. Zheng Xiujing pouted and said angrily, "I definitely brought it over, you got a good deal."

"Inside, I felt it, Kaosamida."

Chi Jingyuan smiled and held up his coffee to take a sip.

He was freezing on set earlier, his costume was so thin. Even now that he's wearing a thick jacket, his hands and feet are still cold.

At this temperature, coupled with my current condition, a sip of hot drink is simply heavenly. It feels like I'm coming back to life.

The two of them sat there in silence, one drinking and the other watching, without a word spoken.

Park Jae-hyun, who went to pick up coffee for Ji Jingyuan a while ago, doesn't know where he went and hasn't come back for such a long time.

"Our play is almost finished."

After staring for a while, Jeong Seo-jeong suddenly spoke, her voice sounding somewhat low.
