After the MMA awards ceremony, and a simple celebratory dinner with the members, Oh Sunshine returned to his quiet dorm room.
As his adrenaline slowly subsided and fatigue began to rise, an urge to share his joy with his fans and engage in more direct communication grew stronger within him.
He recalled his previous idea to the company to do a live stream, but ultimately, due to issues with the script for Tiny Times, the company agreed to his request when he tried to get the live stream done again.
In this era before social media becomes as ubiquitous as it will be in the future, the distance between idols and fans remains significant.
Ouyang Yang knows very well that fans yearn to see a more authentic version of him offstage.
Ou Yangguang often sees fans saying that they feel it's a pity that he has always been active in South Korea and rarely returns to China.
He turned on his desktop computer, which had a sound card installed.
Ou Yangguang logged into his account, which he hadn't used in a long time. Before he debuted, Ou Yangguang and He Ziqi would use YY to play games.
A few days ago, Ou Yangguang joined a star-level guild and had privately learned about the live streaming process.
To broadcast live on YY, personal accounts must apply for streamer permission and join a guild before they can broadcast. Although this was not necessary for him, he still followed the platform rules.
"I should tell everyone," he murmured to himself.
His fingers flew across the keyboard as he first logged into EXO's official fan club and posted a concise announcement using the official account:
Good evening, everyone. Thank you so much for your support and encouragement tonight! I'll be doing a personal live stream on YY platform in about 30 minutes. My room number is 10808. I hope we can chat. I miss you all, see you there! —SUN
Then he did something even bolder: he logged into his almost forgotten private Weibo account.
Their account has never been made public, and he has only posted a few landscape photos on Weibo. Even he himself is puzzled as to how his fans "archaeologically" discovered it.
Now, his Weibo posts from those days are filled with reposts, likes, and comments from fans!
The account name is simple and straightforward: "OYCS-G".
They are the initials of his name in pinyin.
He carefully considered his words and wrote on Weibo:
"I am truly delighted to receive this honor tonight. Thank you all for your continued love, support and trust! I know you all hope to see us often, and I look forward to the opportunity to meet you all."
I'll be live-streaming on YY later, room number 10808, love you all!
The accompanying image is a nine-grid layout that he carefully selected:
1. Backstage at the MMA, EXO's thirteen members pose for a radiant group photo around three trophies, each face beaming with pure joy.
2. A close-up of him holding the "Song of the Year" trophy alone, his eyes bright with joy.
3. On the day of the press conference for "The Heirs", he took a selfie wearing a dark blue velvet suit. The background was a busy scene, and his eyes still showed the naivety and determination of a newcomer.
4. On his birthday this year, fans made a huge subway station advertisement for him as a gesture of support. He went to check it out, stood in front of his own giant poster, wearing a mask, but with his eyes crinkling up, and made a cool "V" sign.
5. A photo of the practice room floor late at night, with Ou Yangguang lying asleep on the floor.
6. An open script, covered with markings in colored pens, with a half-finished cup of coffee beside it.
7. At Homi Cape in Pohang, he took a picture of the sunrise over the sea in the dim light of dawn.
8. A photo of a student entering university without makeup.
9. The last picture shows the light sticks that fans displayed tonight.
