as if they had been traveling for days. They weren't wearing makeup, and each person's dark circles were so prominent they looked like eye shadow. Their entire faces wore a look of exhaustion.The ski..."This show takes so long to film, and it's really tiring. It starts in the early morning and goes until late at night, for over ten hours! And in the end, only a couple of minutes make it into the final cut... Do I really have to go Can't another member do it I don't have time!"

Chí Jǐngyuán frowned and pulled him over.

He was talking about the variety show "Idol Athletic Meet." He participated once at the beginning of the year with the members. Although he became a hot topic for a while because of his archery competition performance, making it one of his most famous moments, the experience wasn't very good for him. If possible, he would rather have another member take his place.

"Inside, because of some issues within MBC TV, the recording of "Idol Athletics Championships" was delayed for over a week. When the program resumed recording, the production team communicated with ** and specifically requested that you participate in this recording, especially emphasizing your participation in the archery competition."

Park Jae-hyun nodded and repeated, then added:

"Originally, ** refused because your schedule has been really busy lately. However, they were very nice and enthusiastic on the phone, explaining that you don't have to attend the entire program, just the archery competition recording during that time. You can leave directly after the recording, and it won't take more than an hour or two in total."

Park Jae-hyun is right, Ji-yeong has been incredibly busy lately.

Besides taking up over half of his time for filming, he also has to go on business performances and trips with the team. On top of that, these days he's been staying up late to reshoot a few commercials that have been nagging him. Recently, the production team has also given him the task of recording OSTs...

Because the TV series is about to air, SBS is preparing a series of promotional activities that basically all require him, the male lead, to appear. You could say he really doesn't have any time.

However, Puqi's explanation is quite interesting.

"Jia Your attitude is so good"

Chi Jingyuan's brow relaxed considerably, and there was surprise in his eyes.

“Yes, it’s said that because the New Year's special of at the beginning of the year was broadcast after a particularly good response, it set a new high for program viewership since its inception. And according to statistics, your archery event is the one with the highest level of discussion and popularity, bringing a lot of heat. There are many viewers and fans who leave messages saying they want to see you shoot arrows again.”

Besides, EXO is still at the peak of its popularity, so it's understandable that the program team would greenlight your recording. I looked at their program schedule they sent over. The men's archery segment starts filming at 2 pm and the entire recording won't be longer than forty minutes. We can just arrive before then, and leave directly after filming is done.

"** asked me to check your opinion. The company hopes you'll participate, as it's important to maintain our relationship with MBC. The program team is very sincere in their invitation."

Boo Jae-hyun had specialized in this kind of thing, so he explained the details very skillfully.

"Okay, I understand. Let's do it that way."

Ji Jingyuan nodded lightly and shook his hand. His schedule was already full, but now he had one more thing to add. However, Park Bo-gum's words made sense. The other party was sincere, and this could also be considered promotion for the TV drama.

"We will be filming for Idol Sports Championships tomorrow, the 22nd, and it will air on the 29th."

"23rd advertising shoot, 24th interview activities... On the 30th, participating in the SBS "RunngMan" successor special recording, which will be broadcast on October 6th. Afterwards, there will be a series of TV drama promotion activities to warm up for the premiere on the 9th."

"Jǐngyuán, your recent schedule has become even tighter. You need to get ready."

Boin was looking at the schedule on his laptop and reminded himself.

Let me know if you need any other translations!

"Well, I know. There's no way around it. What can I do After all, I'm popular..."

Chi Jingyuan sighed and forced himself to calm down, muttering a comforting word to himself.

…………

"Jingyuan xi has finally arrived, I've been waiting for you here for a long time, PD asked me several times."

An assistant from the program crew saw that Ji Jingyuan and Park In-hyun had arrived, so they quickly ushered them in, saying something while letting out a long sigh of relief.

This year's "Idol Athletics Championships" is still being held in Gaoyang, renting out two venues: the Gaoyang Sports Stadium and the Gaoyang Indoor Sports Hall, respectively recording different competition items. I heard that a new indoor football item has been added this time, with Luhan, Bian Baekhyun, Kim Junmyeon, and Xiu all participating.

The peninsula itself is a place with a strong football atmosphere, and this newly added item is expected to generate as much heat as the previously most popular archery.

Before filming the last scene on set, there was a small accident. Chi Jingyuan's departure time was delayed slightly. Even though he drove as fast as possible, he arrived at Gaoyang Sports Center a little later than scheduled. The archery competition was about to start recording soon, so it was no wonder that his assistant looked anxious.

"Sorry for the delay, I had something to attend to."

After entering backstage, Ji Jingyuan didn't speak. Park Bo-gum took the initiative to apologize to the several staff members who rushed over.

"It's okay, it won't start for a while. Jingyuan, go change your clothes first. Have you seen the previous recording process Just go straight on stage."

The stagehand waved his hand dismissively and then quickly said a lot.

Ji Jingyuan nodded and changed into an orange tracksuit. He put on a white name tag with his name and the EXO group name on his chest, along with the baseball cap he already had on. He was a completely different person in no time.

He then, following the staff's guidance, quickly walked into the stadium. As soon as he came out from backstage, the hot atmosphere of the open-air stadium instantly enveloped him. The glaring sunlight shone on him, causing a slight burning sensation. Luckily, he was wearing a hat and his eyes weren't blinded.

Although it's late September, it's been really hot recently. It must be tough for the idols participating in this outdoor stadium event to stay under the blazing sun for several hours.

As soon as Ji Jingyuan walked in, the three MC commentators at the commentary desk received a prompt from the PD and immediately started speaking:

Who walked into the venue

"Let me see... oh my, it's EXO's Yuanxi, he made it here after all."

In the New Year special of "", Yuan became a hot topic among viewers because of his 100% hit rate and super handsome looks. However, he wasn't present at this episode due to other shooting schedules. We were just discussing whether he would make it or not, but he surprised us by showing up in the end! This is the charm of competitive sports!

Since 《Odd Run》 is an MBC program, it's not appropriate to bring up the name of a television drama. However, if it were an SBS show, the MC would definitely take the opportunity to introduce 《The Heirs》.

"I wonder if Yuan can maintain his perfect 10-ring hit rate this time Will EXO be able to defend their gold medal This archery competition is really something to look forward to!"

As the commentator's voice echoed throughout the stadium, the idols preparing for the recording and the fans in the audience all focused on Ji-seong entering. The many EXO fans immediately erupted into thunderous screams, waving EXO banners while jumping excitedly.

Many female idols turned their eyes towards him, with several familiar faces among them. They watched as Ji-yeong walked onto the stage, a mix of curiosity and admiration in their eyes.

The poolside was the center of attention, but Qi Jingyuan ignored the curious stares. He saw the members of XO waving at him, and he smiled as he quickly walked over to join them.

"Oh, good you're finally here! I just saw Brother Cheng Huan getting really anxious."

Kim Jun-myeon extended his fist and punched Ji Chang-wook, then let out a sigh.

"I got delayed on the road for a while, but luckily the car was going fast."

Chi Jingyuan smiled and gave a rough explanation, then scanned the members: "If I can't make it, just find someone to replace me, right

"That won't do, you were personally requested by the program crew. We don't have your level of archery skills."

Kim Jun-myeon pursed his lips and shook his head, looking a little dejected: "Besides, if you hadn't come, we definitely wouldn't have been able to win the gold medal. With just our few people's skill level, we probably wouldn't even pass the preliminary round, that would be so embarrassing."
