Chapter 52: The Most Handsome in the Team

placed her hand on the car door handle, but didn't pull it open. Her body slowly moved towards the car door as her eyes remained fixed on Ji Kyeong-won, clearly reluctant to leave."By the way, what ex..."Anihaseyo."

"Hello there."

On the third basement level of MBC TV, EXO is greeting the two MCs of "Weekly Idol", Jung Hyung-don and Defconn, with their manager.

Today is August 7th, and they are about to film the variety show "Idols of the Week".

This program was launched in 2011 and mainly focuses on some hot topics of Kpop. Each episode features an interview with a group of idols loved by fans. It has decent variety effect and viewership, and it's also easy to shoot, so it is a favorite variety show for idols during their promotional periods.

"Don't be so polite, you just came here not long ago, did you"

"Goodness gracious, XO is really making waves now, they're totally on top! It took an enormous amount of effort to get you all here."

Two MCs were also very happy, smiling broadly and greeting EXO. Def even patted Kim Jun-myeon on the shoulder, looking very close to him.

They went on "Weekly Idol" once in July when "Wolf" came back, so they're kind of acquaintances.

But EXO at this time was a different story from a month ago. The massive success of "Growl" propelled EXO to the forefront, making them the hottest guests on all TV shows recently. Invitations poured in from various programs, and the enthusiasm of the two MCs was palpable.

Chi Jingyuan could tell right away that things were different this time. The program staff seemed much more genuine and sincere in their smiles.

After some pleasantries, we began discussing things to keep in mind during the recording. We went over the script briefly and then got ready to start.

The camera light flickers on, illuminating a pristine white backdrop where two MCs stand poised to begin their opening remarks.

They are the magic potion for a huge ratings boost!

"The brazen return of the ratings emperor!"

The highly anticipated moment is here, tune in now.

"The wind picked up, the fire flared, the grease secreted, lightning flashed, and light sparked!"

"E!X!O!"

As MC's flamboyant introduction, the background music of "Roar" started playing. The members, who had been prepared for a long time, walked out and lined up.

"123, we are one Anihaseyo, we are EXO."

"Ooooo..."

A burst of cheers erupted in the background, with immigration officers enthusiastically applauding, which was very face-saving.

The program officially began filming. The MC first introduced EXO's recent skyrocketing popularity, then explained the concept of the group's superpowers, and had several members demonstrate their unique abilities.

Park Chan-wook, Kim Jong-dae, and Kim Jun-myeon awkwardly stood out and performed a display of their superpowers.

The program crew may add special effects later, but at this point in the live performance, there were none. Just a few people shouting into thin air about "wind" and "fire". Even Ji Jingyuan, standing next to them, couldn't bear to watch.

After a series of individual performances, such as Luhan singing and Tao performing martial arts and double dutch, the special segment featuring fan messages began.

Under MC's direction, the program team released a carefully selected message:

“I think D.O. oppa is really handsome, to be honest, what do you think about your own ranking in terms of handsomeness in EXO Annyeong!”

"Oh my..." The members all cheered, the atmosphere was very lively.

"So, D.O., where do you think you rank in terms of handsomeness within EXO" Jung Hyung-don asked.

"Hmm..."

Do Kyung-Soo considered it for a moment and said, "Honestly, I feel like I'm really quite ordinary..."

"Those who say that usually think they're really handsome." Def cut him off directly.

"Oh, you guys will just have to see for yourselves because some of the members' looks are really amazing. They're the type that even men would find attractive." Do Kyung Soo seems very sincere.

"So now, let's have D.O. rank the members of EXO for their looks!" Jung Hyung-don immediately opened a new segment.

"It's all subjective, your perspective doesn't have to align with anyone else's," MC nodded.

"Are you only looking at appearances Don't you consider other things, like physique or personality" Do Kyung-Soo asked.

"Don't judge by appearances! Just look at the area from the chin to the top of the head."

Zheng Hengdun nodded, but immediately spoiled it with a mischievous smile and added, "D.O., is there a particular reason you ask that"

"Inside..."

Doh Kyung-soo nodded and chuckled wryly, "If we're just going by looks, there's no contest for the number one spot."

"WHY EXO are all so handsome, why is there no suspense Wouldn't the members be angry if you said that"

Def let out a cry, scanning all the members, but found them all shaking their heads and bowing their heads afterward. They showed no opposition at all, as if they didn't want to participate in this competition at all.

"It seems like none of the competition members who are considered top-tier in terms of looks have much enthusiasm. So, I'll count down from three, and everyone together point out the member in your mind who would make this competition a foregone conclusion."

Zheng Hengdun is here, with a strong momentum. He extends his hand and begins the countdown:

"3, 2, 1, Start!"

For a moment, all eyes turned to Chi Jingyuan by the side. With the way they were looking at him, he seemed like a criminal about to be condemned.

Pool Jingyuan humbly didn't point to himself, but casually pointed in the direction of a crowd of people. He himself didn't know who he was pointing at.

"Wow wow wow! Is that our maknae Yuan So all the EXO members agree that he's the best looking one But Yuan is really handsome, there's no denying that."

The two MCs immediately cheered and clapped their hands, while Ji Jingyuan also smiled awkwardly.

"

‘Inside, there’s actually another story here.

"

Do Kyungsoo started by saying, "Yuan was the last one to join the group. Before he came, a lot of the members thought they were really handsome and often argued about who was the most handsome in the group. Sometimes they fought pretty fiercely, until Yuan joined."

"What happened after Yuan joined" Def asked curiously.

After that, no one ever brought up the topic again.
