Chapter 33: Beauty Salon

and the members have put in a lot of effort for the new album. We will continue to work hard to become the best group. Thank you everyone.""We are one, we are EXO-K, thank you everyone." Finally, ever...In the next three days, EXO-M members who had just returned to China held consecutive fan signing events at different locations: Gwangju Lotte Square in Gwangju Station, the Plaza Atrium in Umuk Bridge Station, and Yeongdeungpo Times Square in Incheon Station.

The scene... well, it's just average, very average.

EXO-M has not yet officially debuted on the Korean peninsula, it is only because of the name recognition of the EXO group and its high popularity in China that it is known by many people.

M Team still doesn't have Yuan, the most popular member. While Luhan, who was promoted in China and very popular, has far less popularity than Yuan on the peninsula and isn't very well-known. The names of the other members are only known by loyal fans. Overall, the autograph event for M Team was a lot worse than K Team.

After EXO-K held two fan signing events in Daegu and Gwangju, they returned to their dormitory in Seoul on the evening of September 9th. 。At this point, Team M had already fallen asleep. They didn't make a sound and quickly packed up before heading to bed to rest. Tomorrow they still had a singing program M!tdown to record. Even though they were going to sleep now, they would probably have to get up in the early morning. 。Fortunately, he had already rested for a while on the bus back to Seoul, which was a good supplement to his lack of sleep. When Ji-yeong got up in the morning, he felt alright. 。Before dawn, manager Lee Seung Hwan took assistant Choi Ji Chang to wake up several members of Team K. The sleep-deprived few managed to drag themselves out of bed with willpower and quickly washed up before following the manager out the door and onto the van. 。They were the first to act, but it's estimated that Team M will be up soon as well. 。They still have a signing session today, which also requires them to get up early to prepare. 。

Choi Ji-chang is a very good driver. The van swerved left and right on the road, but it didn't feel much sitting on top. Ji-yeong was just resting with his eyes closed the whole time.

After a while, we came across a beauty salon. 。This beauty salon is called HosteadCoffee, it sounds like the name of a coffee shop. 。It has a long-term partnership with ** Company. TVXQ occasionally gets their styling done here, while the members of SJ are regulars. Now that EXO has debuted, they basically get their styling done here too. 。Besides, this beauty salon also has collaborations with many other small entertainment companies. 。The entertainment industry on the peninsula is unprecedentedly developed, but the competition is extremely fierce. However, with a population of tens of millions, there are tens of thousands of artists, and the number of trainees and industry personnel is countless. Overall, the involution is very serious. 。

And the peninsula is a country that places great importance on appearance. If you attend an event, commercial performance, or TV show, you will definitely go to a beauty salon for styling first.

With so many talented artists and suitable prices, good beauty salons become scarce. Therefore, some up-and-coming artists, those who are not yet well-known or popular groups, will book appointments during off-peak hours, even waking up early in the morning to queue up. 。So being a celebrity on the peninsula is really tough, especially those at the bottom of the pyramid, those who aren't very popular. 。But if you become a top-level artist and a big star, then beauty salons will all want you to go there for styling, and most of them will let you go whenever you want because the patronage of every popular artist is a very good advertisement for the beauty salon. 。

While EXO-K is now in the category of groups with not much popularity, they have the advantage of being in a big company like **. They still receive pretty good treatment.

When their nanny car pulled up to the beauty parlor, there were already a row of seven or eight nanny cars of various sizes parked outside. Basically, all the parking spaces that could be parked had been filled, and EXO-K's several people walked into the beauty parlor under Lee Seung-hwan's leadership to queue up, while assistant Choi Ji-chang went to find a place to park.

This beauty salon feels a bit old-fashioned. The decoration is alright but seems outdated. The exterior sign is black, and the interior mainly uses cool tones. 。Even before dawn, the lights were already on. 。The lounge of the beauty salon was already crowded with people waiting, some of them Pool Jingyuan had met when he appeared on a TV singing program backstage before, and many others he didn't recognize. 。Basically, they were all barefaced. They didn't look as radiant as on television, and instead seemed somewhat tired with rough skin and hair quality. Some even looked worse than ordinary people. 。Although there are many artists on the peninsula, very few have truly excellent looks. Most can only be considered average or above average at best. 。The Peninsula's unique and advanced makeup artistry plays a significant role in making one look so radiant on television and camera. 。Even someone with average looks can elevate their appearance significantly after putting on makeup. 。

Some others rely on adjustment, but even fine-tuning requires a good foundation to achieve excellent results.

While some artists managed to salvage their careers through adjustments, others couldn't.

Although there were many people in the lounge, there wasn't much communication. There was only the occasional murmur of hushed voices. 。Everyone woke up in the middle of the night and now everyone is so sleepy that we don't feel like talking. 。Because they had made an appointment in advance and it was a long-term partnership, EXO-K didn't have to wait long, their turn came quickly. As for Ji Chang-wook, he usually goes for makeup and hair first because he is the fastest. 。"Oh my, it's our Yuan!" 。"The stylist, Kim Seon-mi, saw Ji-seong sitting in the barber's chair and her eyes lit up." 。

"Within, the beauty of goodness and anger..."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!。"Pool View Source smiled and greeted. " 。

"Still so polite"

"Kim Seon-mi sized up Ji Kyeong-won in the mirror and immediately began working, praising him as she went: “No matter how many times I see him, his charisma and appearance are just too excellent." 。"And your skin is really good, how do you take care of it" Kim San-mi looked closely at Ji-yeong, who was right in front of her. Whether it was admiration or curiosity, she couldn't tell. 。As a stylist at a renowned beauty salon, she has styled countless celebrities. Whether it's comedians, male and female idols, or actors, the vast majority of them, even after applying makeup, pale in comparison to the person before her, let alone without makeup. 。Many celebrities' bare faces are quite average, Kim Sun-a knows this very well. Sometimes when she's doing makeup, she even has the thought 'how can someone like this debut' 。But after Yuan had several makeovers, the girl who never chased stars actually felt a fan's urge for the first time. 。"...Chi Jingyuan smiled softly and didn't answer." 。Although Ji Jingyuan couldn't reply during the styling process, Kim Seon-mi was very enthusiastic and talked non-stop throughout the entire process. Sometimes she would offer praise, and other times she would casually talk about gossip. It was clear that she enjoyed the process of styling Ji Jingyuan. 。

Soon, the styling will be done

"Nu that is really amazing" 。Looking at himself in the mirror, Chi Jingyuan smiled and praised himself. 。"Alright, mainly it's because you have a great natural look. Doing your makeup is easy and quick." 。Kim Seon-mi also smiled happily, looking at the mirror, nodding repeatedly. 。After putting on makeup, Chi Jingyuan's difference from bare face isn't that big. It's just that his features become more three-dimensional under the embellishment of makeup, and his messy hair after waking up also becomes much more tidy. 。"Thank you, I'll be going now." 。First release on the Traditional Chinese Novel Network.promotion will appear on the show several times.It is usually hosted by SJ's Shin Dong and Kim Shin-young, but today both MCs are absent, with the full cast of Apk guest-starring as MCs.
