On May 22, 2012, at the backstage of MBC's "Champion Show", today was EXO-M's first stage performance at the Korean version of "MAMA". Ouyang Guang stood in front of the mirror in the waiting room, arranging his stage costume, while the makeup artist was touching up his makeup.

"SUNxi, look up." The makeup artist reminded softly. Ouyang Guang cooperated and looked up.

The agent pushed the door open and said, "You'll be on stage in 15 minutes. Are you ready?"

"Yes." Ouyang Guang nodded and followed the other members to the stage.

After a few minutes of introduction and interview by the host, Kim Shin-young and Shindong, the stage performance began.

The lights on the stage were blindingly bright. Ouyang Guang stood at his position and immediately got into the groove when the music started. They had practiced the choreography for "MAMA" countless times, and every move was engraved into their muscle memory. During the ending pose, he panted slightly and listened to the crazy screams of the fans below the stage.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Backstage, manager Rong Min handed me some water and a towel. "Tomorrow we will discuss the promotion schedule with Teams K and M. The schedule has been sent to your phone."

Ouyangguang wiped his sweat and took out his phone to check:

May 24- All EXO members will promote their song "MAMA"

May 25- K team song

May 26 - K team song

May 27 - K team song

May 30th - Team M's photo shoot for Contemporary Music Magazine

May 30 - K Team KBS Dream Concert "Sorry Sorry" Special Stage

"So full?" he muttered.

…

The next few days were so packed that it was hard to breathe. From the 24th to the 27th, there were four consecutive days of promotions and recordings. Ouyangguang could fall asleep anywhere and at any time. Once, he was even woken up by Junmian when he was walking on the street.

The 30th was the busiest day. Early in the morning, all members of Team M came to the studio to shoot pictorials for Contemporary Music Magazine, and the magazine staff came to Korea specially for the shoot.

In the studio, the lighting engineer was adjusting the equipment. Ouyang Guang sat in front of the makeup mirror, letting the stylist do his hair. The mirror reflected a sharp face - full lips under the high nose bridge, and amber eyes made deeper by the makeup artist.

The stylist couldn't help but praise: "Your face is really a work of art, it doesn't need too much modification at all."

"Thank you." Ouyang Guang nodded slightly, and the lines of his neck stretched out with the movement. He wore a loose white shirt, and the shadow of the collarbone was faintly visible. When the makeup artist sprayed him with setting spray, the water droplets slid down the jawline and stayed briefly at the Adam's apple.

"Get ready to shoot!" the photographer's loud voice rang out in the studio.

Ouyangguang stood up, and the hem of his shirt lifted up a corner with the movement, revealing his slender waistline. When he walked to the center of the set, all the staff's eyes were attracted to him. His height of 185cm (he has grown taller) and perfect head-to-body ratio, as well as his inverted triangle figure with broad shoulders and narrow waist, made the simple white shirt look like a high-end custom-made outfit.

"Let's take a solo photo first." The photographer adjusted the lens, "You can strike any pose you want."

Ouyang Guang nodded, and his eyes changed instantly. His eyes, which were tired just now, were as sharp as a cheetah. He unbuttoned the top button of his shirt with one hand, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly as he swallowed. There was no music, no prompts, but he looked for the camera as if by instinct, and every turn accurately presented the most perfect profile to the camera.

"Great!" The photographer excitedly pressed the shutter, "Now try leaning on the piano, yes, that's it!"

Ouyang Guang leaned against the prop piano, his slender fingers casually resting on the keys. He tilted his head slightly, his jawline and neckline forming a beautiful arc. His shirt was tight because of his posture, and the outline of his abdominal muscles was faintly visible. The lighting technician deliberately adjusted the light so that his eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyes.

"Perfect!" The photographer couldn't help but come over, "You are a natural model."

During the break in filming, Ouyang Guang took the bottle of mineral water handed to him by his assistant. When he tilted his head back to drink the water, his Adam's apple slid up and down, and a few drops of water slid down his neck into his collar. Several female staff members on the sidelines blushed without noticing.

"Everyone get ready! Black suits!" the assistant director announced loudly.

In the locker room, Ouyang Guang put on a slim black suit. The well-cut fabric perfectly outlined his broad shoulders and narrow waist, and the trouser legs wrapped his straight long legs. When he tied his tie and walked out of the locker room, everyone present gasped. He was simply a nobleman from a cartoon.

"Come, stand in the center." the photographer instructed.

Ouyang Guang stood in the middle, his hands in his pockets, his chin slightly raised. Without any effort, his natural aura made the whole picture the focus. When the other members posed, his eyes suddenly softened, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. This moment was accurately captured by the photographer, and later became the most popular photo of this issue of the magazine.

"Perfect!" The photographer praised repeatedly when checking the photos, "Ouyang Yang has a great sense of the lens, and every expression is just right."
