r elements.Members were all excited upon hearing this. A comeback is a good thing for every group, proving their popularity and value. As artists whose survival relies on exposure and popularity, no o..."Ani oh, it's all En Din Na who usually takes care of me."

Ci Jingyuan broke into a smile and modestly said something.

Although he couldn't quite imagine how Jeong Eon-ji took care of him,

"Jingyuan xi is really amazing, he can be the male lead right after his debut. Eonni often praises your acting skills in private."

"Will she brag about me again after she goes back I really didn't notice."

Seeing Chi Jingyuan's reaction, Wu Xiaorong also laughed, no longer so nervous. The hand that had been tightly clenched beside her just now relaxed, and her eyes shone brightly as she continued chatting with him.

"Innie, Eunji is that kind of personality. She might not show it when you first meet her, but she really admires Jingyuan xi."

"And En Di also said that when filming NGs, Jing Yuan xi even comforted her specifically, she is very grateful to you." Park Chul-hong also interjected, her voice was like a grandmother's, very fitting for her appearance.

Sun Na-eun remained silent, standing beside him and lightly biting her lip. Her hands were clasped together in front of her, her eyes flitting back and forth around Ji-seong but always returning to him as if focused on a single point. At the same time, her right foot kept tapping restlessly against the ground, almost as if she was nervous.

"Really I don't know...I feel like the Jung Eun-ji you guys are talking about isn't the same person I know." Hearing what the two said, Ji Kyeong-won looked bewildered and asked in surprise.

"Haha…"

Puyi and Wu Xiaorong couldn't help but laugh, covering their mouths as if a little embarrassed.

Of course, Jung Eun-ji isn't that kind of personality. Even if she praises Park Kyung-won privately, she wouldn't be so direct and would usually just use a sarcastic tone.

They just wanted to make a better impression of En-Di on Ji Jingyuan, so they casually made up a few nice things to say. Unexpectedly, they said something a bit far-fetched and were immediately seen through.

The joke helped to warm things up, and we chatted for a bit.

However, since we just met, there wasn't much to say. It was just the usual stuff: praising EXO's stage presence and how great they are, and praising Apk for their popularity and hype. Typical compliments and small talk.

"Jingyuan, you haven't bullied my members, have you"

At this moment, Jung Eun-ji's loud voice rang out. She walked over in three quick steps for every two she took, followed by three other teammates. Now all the members of Apk were here.

Jung Eun-ji immediately looked at Ji Kyung-won with a scrutinizing gaze, making a menacing gesture: “You didn’t say anything strange behind my back to slander me, did you”

Chi Jingyuan's face was expressionless, he glanced at her sideways, curled his lip, and remained silent.

Jung Eon-ji felt like his eyes were looking at an idiot, and that idiot was herself... Her eyes widened all of a sudden.

"Poof..." The members beside him couldn't hold back their laughter when they saw Ji Jingyuan's expression.

"Ha..." Jung Eun-ji couldn't hold back a laugh either, her signature smile reappeared, she nudged Ji Chang-wook, and then began to introduce the members of her group.

From the oldest leader Park Chorong to the youngest member, Wu Xiaorong, each member was introduced individually. Ji Kyeong-won also greeted everyone in turn.

Before this, I had only encountered it occasionally in the background. This time, it's considered a formal acquaintance.

And with Jung Eun-ji as the mediator, they both felt a sense of familiarity with each other.

After the introduction, there wasn't much more to say. Apk was still going to visit other seniors, so Jung Eun Ji waved goodbye and prepared to leave.

Just then, Sun Na-eun, who had remained silent throughout, saw Jung Eun-ji preparing to say goodbye. She secretly poked her with her hand, as if reminding her of something.

Seemingly remembering something, Jeong Eun Ji who was poked lightly did not show any change in expression on her face. She retracted the words she had prepared to say goodbye and smiled naturally, adding: "Kyung Won is so handsome, and he's a very good friend of mine. Let's exchange contact information, it would be nice to stay connected as friends."

"Got it," Pool Jingyuan replied with a smile, as if he hadn't noticed anything.

After everyone exchanged contact information, Apk bid farewell. As he was leaving, several members waved goodbye to Ji Jingyuan with smiles.

After several people left, Chi Jingyuan sat in his own chair, recalling the scene just now, and chuckled lightly, shaking his head.

After a short while, the director took a megaphone and shouted something, and everyone immediately got into working mode, starting to film.

…………

The filming progressed smoothly, and online praise for "Reply 1997" was gradually gaining momentum. As fans of the cast saw this trend, they became even more enthusiastic in their spontaneous promotion efforts. Mentions of the drama "Reply" could be found on numerous forums and comment sections.

The members also returned to the peninsula on the 7th. As soon as they saw Ji Chang Wook in the evening, they started complaining:

"Oh, Jingyuan, you're not participating in the family concert You're such a slacker," said Wu Shixun, with a look of disapproval on his face.

"This is a company exclusive, even senior members like Hao and Sherry didn't go, did they"

"Do you know how tiring it is to participate in a concert..."

How tired are you

"The positioning needs to be rearranged, and we've been practicing until the early morning. We've rehearsed several times already, and there are still a few collaborative stages. Plus, we had two consecutive days of performances... Oh my..."

Doh Kyungsoo sprawled on the sofa and sighed: "It's much more tiring than appearing on music shows, and thinking about you not coming makes it even more tired... It's really mean of you to not participate.

"Acting is really tiring, you know I shoot from morning until late at night before I can rest. Don't think it's easy!"

The pool scenery was eloquent, and finally added a sentence that wasn't well-intentioned: "Oh, by the way, I won't be going to the concert on the 18th either..."

"Damn it…"

“But these two Tokyo Dome concerts attracted nearly 100,000 people. Wow, the popularity is really high, standing on stage and looking out, you can't see the end of the crowd.”

Recalling the scenes of past concerts, Kim Jun-myeon mused, "How are we able to hold so many solo concerts"

“What's so difficult about having a concert, you just find a venue, rent it for a day and sing on top of it... It's just that you don't know how many people will come.”

And Junmian ge, you're really something! Two songs, back and forth for two hours

"Oh..."

On August 7th, "Reply 1997" aired episodes five and six, achieving an average viewership of 2.2% and a peak viewership of 2.7%. It has been steadily growing in popularity.

Meanwhile, the public's acclaim for "Reply" had reached a fever pitch. Discussions and praise for the drama were everywhere. At the same time, tvN also invested heavily in promoting this small-budget drama that they hadn't initially expected much from, further fueling its popularity.

The broadcast of episodes 7 and 8 on August 14th saw a significant surge in viewership, with an average and peak viewership rate of 3.8% and 4.9%, respectively, marking an approximate 50% increase in viewership.

As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar among the crowd. The attention of this drama increased considerably.

To know that for tvN, a cable channel, having a viewership of over one percent is considered a great show. The highest viewership the entire channel has ever had is only around four percent.

Even thoughether you pretend not to see anything at all, or intervene too deeply and help too much, neither is really suitable.I just hope these things will be of some use...After waiting for a minute and not se...
