Chapter 59 From Script to Reality

evel among boy groups, coupled with their strong popularity and the excellent momentum of this comeback, the combined effect on students is truly unparalleled.He felt the overwhelming enthusiasm of th...Last year, the address of the EXO dormitory complex was no longer a secret among fans. Occasionally, quite a few fans would gather at the entrance of the complex, hoping to catch a glimpse of them up close or get an autograph.

The number of fans has been increasing since their two comebacks this year, especially since the release of "Roar". There is often a group of fans camping outside their dormitory building. The number is quite substantial.

However, most of them just want to take a quick glance at their idol, say hello and get an autograph. If they encounter the members, the members will usually fulfill their wishes.

After all, the fans who can squat here are all very supportive of them. Being so pursued also satisfies their desire to be praised and admired.

However, these days Chi Jingyuan has obviously felt that some fans have become overly enthusiastic. They are no longer content with lurking and have started to stalk him, evolving into sasaeng fans.

Although the address of the apartment complex was exposed, the specific location of the EXO dormitory had never been revealed before.

Today, the two sasaeng fans came up to them. This proves that their dorm isn't a secret anymore, it's kind of creepy. It feels like someone is always watching their lives.

After Lin Xuanjun finished the phone call, his assistant arrived shortly after and forcefully took away the two sasaeng fans. As they left, they cried and shouted the members' names, looking reluctant to part.

To be so fond of and devoted to EXO, yet doing things that hurt them, this contradictory approach feels absurd.

These two sasaengs are not old enough to be involved in legal matters, and the company is already very experienced in dealing with sasaeng fans. Most of the time, they criticize and comfort them, there won't be any practical punishments unless they are excessively malicious, otherwise, they will not call the police.

Given EXO's current popularity and the upward trend in its fanbase, it is foreseeable that such incidents will become more frequent in the future.

After they left, the EXO dorm was deathly quiet.

"Zhong Da, why didn't you ask clearly before opening the door... Pay attention next time."

Lin Xuanjun originally wanted to criticize Kim Jong-dae for casually opening the door, but seeing his expression, she said something and then stopped.

"The popularity of our group has increased a lot lately, and I think you all feel it too. The situation with sasaeng fans can't be stopped, the more popular the group is, the more sasaeng fans there are, this is unavoidable. Groups like TVXQ and Super Junior in the past have also encountered a lot of these situations, so EXO will also have to slowly get used to it."

Lin Xuanjun took advantage of the fact that all members were present at the moment and gave them a pep talk. In the end, he jokingly said, "This is also a manifestation of our XO's popularity. We couldn't see this last year at all."

"Hee hee..."

The members forced out smiles and chuckled in agreement.

This time was a lesson learned. From now on, everyone must remember not to just open the door randomly. Members and managers both have keys and know the code, so there's no need to open it.

"Pay attention in your everyday life and during running errands, especially in private. Today's incident is definitely not an isolated case. You should always be vigilant about the possibility of sasaengs watching you, and be careful when doing things."

Seeing that the members' moods were a bit down, he also comforted them with a sentence:

"The address of this dormitory has been exposed, and there may be a lot of harassment in the future. However, I've received news that this time back to the company is very satisfied with our performance, and soon we will move to a new dormitory. The area and decoration will be much better than the current dormitory. At that time, privacy and address will be kept strictly confidential, and there will be fewer incidents like sasaeng fans."

"Alright, just hold on for a little while longer. Go back to rest now and get some sleep quickly. We have to wake up early tomorrow."

After saying a few words, he waved his hand to signal the members to go back to their rooms to sleep, while Lin Xuanjun put on his clothes and went out, looking like he was going to discuss the matter of his illegitimate child with the company.

Members glanced at each other, then returned to their rooms.

But I guess it will be half past one before I fall asleep. We definitely have to discuss what just happened, and Jin Jong-dae definitely needs to wash his face first.

I might have to brush my teeth again...

The SBS headquarters is located in Mok-dong, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul. This is where the television station staff work, primarily responsible for producing news programs.

Besides, SBS has several branches in Seoul and across the peninsula, each responsible for different tasks.

It is 2 p.m. on August 10th, at the corner of a cafe named 'lody' in Yangchuan District. Ji Jingyuan is smiling serenely, while Jin Enshu, sitting opposite him, observes him with curious and scrutinizing eyes.

He was also looking at the other person.

As a well-known screenwriter in her early forties, Kim Eun Suk is very well-preserved and looks to be in her thirties.

The five senses are not particularly beautiful, but they are also quite pleasing to the eye. It's a normal person's appearance. Coupled with a pair of black-framed round glasses and hair tied up at the back of the head, it gives off a rather cultured vibe.

The contract was actually signed yesterday, and the script has already been received. Today's meeting is because Park Bo Gum said the other party is very interested and wants to meet with Ji Chang Wook and ask some questions.

After arriving at the agreed-upon location and exchanging pleasantries, Kim Eun Sook began to scrutinize this new male lead who had impressed SBS so much that he had replaced her favored choice, Lee Min Ho, in her mind.

Actually, the moment Ji-seong stepped in and stood before Kim Eun-sook, she had already agreed with him playing the male lead, 'Kim Tan,' for the most part.

Before, she had only seen Ji Jingyuan in TV dramas. After meeting him in person, she truly understood why Cui Chengjun was so supportive of the casting change.

Besides the workings and connections behind her, that unique aura of hers truly impressed and made her unforgettable. Coupled with her already outstanding appearance, standing in front of him, it was as if Jin Tan from the script had walked into reality.

If she didn't know the specific circumstances, Kim Eun-suk might not have been able to describe what kind of aura it was. But after Choi Sung-jun's introduction, she understood.

This is the quality belonging to 'The Heirs'.

It was a feeling she'd always wanted to depict, but couldn't quite put into words.

"Jǐngyuán ā, wǒ zhèyàng jiào nǐ kěyǐ ba"

After a while, Kim Eun-suk smiled, breaking the silence that had fallen.

"Yes, of course, writer ni."

Chi Jingyuan smiled and nodded, his manners impeccable. His tone was quite respectful, and the feeling he'd been exuding suddenly softened. He now looked like a very polite and ordinary boy.

This change Kim Eun-suk felt very clearly, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the other party's good upbringing and manners, her admiration grew constantly.

"Well, well, I'm much older than you. If you don't mind, just call me Nu."

The more Kim Eun-suk looked, the more she liked him, and she took the initiative to get closer.

"It is my honor, Enshunu."

Chi Jingyuan smiled and replied, looking proud.

Apart from the initial awkwardness, the atmosphere this time was pretty good. We chatted casually for a bit, covering topics like EXO's popularity, Ji Chang Wook's thoughts on the drama, and whether he was dating anyone or not.

After a while, Kim Eunsook suddenly leaned forward and asked the question she was most curious about: "

"Jingyuan, I heard from seniors about some things regarding you. Could you tell us about something special about your family's daily life and social interactions"

Kim Eun-sook's eyes were filled with curiosity as she stared intently at Ji-yeong explaining:

"To be honest, I was already quite satisfied with the script. However, after hearing about your situation, I got the idea to revise it. I want to make the plot and story more complete, and also develop the character of Jin Tan, the male lead, to be more three-dimensional and full. But this requires your help."
