Chapter 367 Official Announcement (Part )

April 8, 26pm.

Dispatch News Agency released a preview of the big revelation——

[This is a couple who have been secretly dating since 2017]

Attached below are two black silhouette images.

At this moment, the Internet exploded.

Based on D company's past experience.

This kind of advance release of love information is usually on January 1st of each year.

Because New Year's Day attracts a lot of attention.

Now, D agency has ignored the boost from the holiday season and chose to break the news at the end of August.

This proves that the popularity of this couple is enough to attract the attention of netizens all over Korea!
at the same time.

Various speculations began online based on the timeline and silhouette of the leak.

[Gong Yoo & Kim Go-eun, please! ]

[Lee Dong Wook and Yoo In Na, I really like them. 】

[Any of the four members of Goblin can be any of them!!! Gong Yoo & Kim Go Eun, Lee Dong Wook & Yoo In Na, Gong Yoo & Lee Dong Wook, Kim Go Eun & Yoo In Na! I can be any pair! ]

[Kim Ki-hyun & Park Bo-young, please!!! Super "Dog CP". ]

【Kim Da-mi & Choi Woo-sik!!!】

【Ahhh! Park Seo-joon & Kim Ji-won!!!】

[Please, Park Seo-joon and Park Min-young are really awesome! ]

【…】

For this result.

Lee Ji-eun, who has been following this incident closely, was truly confused.

Obviously, she felt that she and Jin Qixuan were already quite high-profile, with the engagement ring and the Instagram post.

As a result, she and Jin Qixuan were the only pair with the lowest support, or even no support at all!
I’m so angry. It was obviously us who chose to expose the news!
As for the reason for this predicament, there is no other reason.

Because netizens have already assumed that the interactions between Kim Ki-hyun and Lee Ji-eun during this period are all to hype up the movie "When a Man Falls in Love".

In fact, in their eyes, Lee Ji-eun is avoiding suspicion by not attending promotional programs related to "When a Man Falls in Love" these days.

After all, in all the promotional programs for "When a Man Falls in Love", Lee Ji-eun only attended one fan meeting at Chung-Ang University, and was "missing" the rest of the time.

If you say there is something fishy going on here, who would believe it?

The next day.

After fermenting overnight.

D agency even ranked second on the Peninsula Trends, surpassing various tweets about the movie "When a Man Falls in Love".

Netizens on the peninsula are eagerly waiting and get up early, ready to get the first-hand news.

Due to the time difference, people in China also started to frantically read D agency's news at nine o'clock, for fear that they would miss the best time to break the news if they were not careful.

that's it.

On August 8, at 27 a.m.

Dispatch News Agency promptly announced the romance news on its official Instagram account:

[My idol, my muse: Kim Ki-hyun & IU, a secret love capture! ]

This immediately brought the Peninsula’s network to a standstill.

Countless netizens flocked to this news, causing the server to lag for a few seconds.

Everyone is talking about Kim Ki-hyeon and IU's relationship.

At the same time, the relationship between Kim Ki-hyun and Lee Ji-eun also topped the WB hot search list!

Following it was the word "爆" (explosion) which was so red that it almost looked like purple.

In fact, 6 of the top real-time hot searches on WB were about the exposure of their relationship.

At this moment, WB's programmers couldn't help but sigh to the sky while repairing the backend.

"A sin!"

"The server crashed again!"

"..."

On the homepage of Dispatch, what you see are various "secret photos" of Kim Ki-hyun and Lee Ji-eun.

These "candid photos" cover a wide range of time.

From the beginning of 2017 until a while ago when Jin Qixuan visited the set of "Hotel Del Luna".

Among them, there are several photos taken by passers-by.

At the beginning, these photos were refuted by fans of Lee Ji-eun and Kim Ki-hyun.

It is obvious that these two people are not in the same place, and I hope passers-by will not spread rumors.

But now it seems.

These so-called "rumors" are actually the truth!

Some of the photos were secretly taken by D agency when Kim Ki-hyun and Lee Ji-eun were dating.

There are also some photos that the two of them took the initiative to report to D agency.

at the same time.

Along with these photos, there is also a short essay.

This short essay describes Kim Ki-hyun and Lee Ji-eun's "romance" like an idol drama.

Among them, there are all kinds of scenes, such as falling in love on the set, love at first sight, heroes saving beauties, mutual encouragement...

Although, the article is a bit exaggerated.

But it is understandable. After all, D agency still needs to get traffic.

With the D agency reporting that their relationship was confirmed.

Entries related to this matter quickly dominated Naver’s real-time hot searches.

#Kim Ki-Hyun IU's love affair exposed#
#Working couple becomes real couple#

……

In response to these overwhelming hot searches, netizens have also started various discussions.

Some sent blessings, some wailed, and some even quit being fans.

There were also many people posting "Jin Qixuan cheated".

And the CP super topic of the two of them - also boiled over at this moment!
Countless CP fans celebrated the New Year at this moment!
They were partying and excitedly posting various screenshots and "short essays" in the super topic.

[Family members, who knows! I felt there was something fishy going on between these two people in "Homestay", and now it turns out to be true! ]

[Mom, my "unpopular" CP has come true! ]

【Congratulations!! 】

[However, why don’t these two people post a response to their relationship on Instagram? 】

[Yeah, could it be that Distributor is hyping this up? ]

[What a hype! D agency has released this kind of news, how can it be false? ]

Why don't they respond themselves?

[Maybe busy? ]

【…】

It's not just CP fans who have this question.

Many netizens have also discovered this problem.

Generally speaking, after this kind of relationship is exposed, both parties will post on Instagram to admit or deny it quickly or slowly.

But this time, Kim Ki-hyeon and Lee Ji-eun's response has not come yet.

at the same time.

Many reporters and media also began calling the agencies of both parties to inquire about the authenticity of the relationship.

But without exception, all of them fell on deaf ears and received no response.

The actions of Kim Ki-hyeon and Lee Ji-eun also confused many netizens.

The same idea came to many people's minds.

"These two people are not together at all!"

“I hope D agency’s revelations won’t backfire this time!”

At the same time, many "insiders" appeared on the Internet, saying that Kim Ki-hyun and Lee Ji-eun's relationship was fake and that D agency was deceived.

The purpose is to hype up "When a Man Falls in Love".

For a moment, the entire Internet was in an uproar.

Everyone was discussing whether this matter was true or not.

And the two protagonists at the center of public opinion.

At this moment, we are making intensive preparations for tomorrow's official concert.

As Lee Ji-eun finished singing her last song, the first rehearsal of "Love poem" was over.

Then, she skipped and ran to Jin Qixuan's side.

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan hurriedly brought the water and handed it to her.

“How’s the internet going?”

Lee Ji-eun asked while holding a straw in her mouth and blinking her bright eyes.

Hearing this, Jin Qixuan wiped her sweat while reporting the facts.

"The number of views on topics related to our relationship has exceeded 50 million, and the number of comments and discussions has exceeded one million. Half of Instagram is basically discussing topics related to our relationship."

"It even dominated the trending searches in China."

"However, the hot discussions now are saying that we haven't responded yet, and they are wondering if Distributor has revealed a fake relationship."

Hearing Jin Qixuan's description, Li Zhien smiled and said:
"Haha, those reporters must be going crazy."

"That's for sure. Look, Brother Hunter has been answering the phone all the time. I guess he's almost annoyed by the reporters."

Hearing this, Lee Ji-eun looked at Hunter who was talking non-stop in the corner and smiled secretly with her hands covering her mouth.

"Are we being too bad?"

"No, you are so mean. The sense of ceremony for the official announcement of the concert was your idea."

"Yeah, we are one. Are you trying to distance yourself from me by saying this?"

As she spoke, Lee Ji-eun smashed her head into Kim Ki-hyeon's chest, making a dull sound.

"Ah...are you trying to murder your husband?"

Jin Qixuan covered his chest and fell into his seat with a look of pain on his face.

Seeing this, Li Zhien pursed her lips and leaned her head over:

"Does it really hurt?"

"It hurts so much, I feel like my chest is collapsing..."

"Let me see."

When Lee Ji-eun leaned over, Kim Ki-hyeon took her into his arms and kissed her.

"Oh, there are so many people."

"We are all family, there is nothing to be afraid of. Besides, after tomorrow, we can hug and kiss openly anytime and anywhere."

Jin Qixuan rubbed her little head very comfortably.

"Yeah, it makes me excited just thinking about it."

Li Zhien blinked, a look of longing on her face.

At this moment, not far away.

Zheng Hante, who had just hung up the phone, saw this scene and quickly raised his hand to pinch his philtrum to prevent himself from fainting.

There’s an uproar on the internet!
These two are still hanging around here!!
Being an agent is so tiring!
I want to change jobs to Red Velvet!

……

Eight o'clock that night.

The heat of the romance scandal between Lee Ji-eun and Kim Ki-hyun has reached a terrifying level!

The most popular topic is the imprisonment of the Samsung prince, which has attracted the attention of the entire nation.

The second is the relationship between Kim Ki-hyeon and Lee Ji-eun.

The exposure of a celebrity's love affair can be as popular as "Master of the Country". It is enough to show how great the influence of this incident is!
Everyone is waiting for a response from both parties.

Reporters were squatting outside the doors of the two's agency, hoping to get first-hand information.

Netizens kept refreshing the two people’s Instagram, waiting for the results.

Finally, with the anticipation of tens of millions of netizens.

Li Zhien's INS account updated a dynamic——

"Tomorrow, I will see you all in my best condition! [Picture]"

Following Lee Ji-eun’s update.

In just one minute, there were hundreds of thousands of likes and tens of thousands of comments!
"No, we are so anxious, why are you still posting selfies?"

"Ouni, you're so cute, but is the relationship real or not? Please tell me something!"

"Sister, are you and Jin Qixuan together?"

"Yeah, are you together?"

"We are so anxious, sister, please respond quickly!"

"They can't really not be in a relationship... my CP can't be!"

"Speaking of which, the name of this concert...why does it sound a bit like an official announcement of a relationship?"

"From what the above person said, it seems to be true, 'Poem of Love'. The name sounds very romantic!"

"Is there a possibility that this concert is actually the official announcement of their relationship?"

"Don't say such things upstairs, I have a bad heart..."

"..."

No matter how the issue is discussed online, the two parties involved seem to have lost contact and there is no response from them anymore.

Therefore, everyone can only place their hopes on Lee Ji-eun’s concert tomorrow.

At this point, businesses that smelled business opportunities contacted Hunter and wanted to sponsor the concert.

Various TV stations are also scrambling to purchase the live broadcast rights for Lee Ji-eun's concert.

Scalpers have tried every trick in the book and started buying back tickets at high prices online.

The original ticket price of 80,000 Korean won was raised to hundreds of thousands or even millions!
At this point, everyone realized that Lee Ji-eun’s concert tomorrow is destined to be a historic moment!

The next day.

At 5pm, Lee Ji-eun’s concert.

At this moment, outside the huge concert venue, it is already surrounded by dense crowds of fans, reporters, scalpers who are fighting wits and courage with security guards, and crowds of people watching the fun.

Everyone was looking forward to the start of the concert.

At the same time, the discussion about Lee Ji-eun and Kim Ki-hyun on the Internet reached its peak!
"Did these two talk or not? I'm so anxious!"

"I have already moved my little stool and am waiting for the concert to start."

"This is the first time I'm looking forward to a star's concert so much..."

"IU, I advise you not to be so ungrateful and announce your relationship immediately. I order you to be together immediately!"

"..."

Inside the venue.

As fans came in one after another.

At 6:10, the huge venue was already full.

At first glance, countless cheering light boards and glow sticks created a beautiful visual feast.

There are many artists here today.

Most of the idols and singers in the K-pop circle came.

The actors were familiar with Jin Qixuan, and those who had free time came to the scene.

Everyone wants to witness this "historic" moment.

Except for the artists.

Even the "three siblings" that Lee Ji-eun and Kim Ki-hyeon met at the B&B were invited by her to the scene.

Influenced by Jin Qixuan.

The youngest, Ha Min, has now transformed into a muscular hunk with double doors.

He no longer looks like the handsome boy he was two years ago.

If it weren’t for the fact that the second sister Yiyuan hasn’t changed much, Jin Qixuan almost wouldn’t have recognized her.

Of course, family members from both sides were also present.

Lee Ji-eun's family and the old Kim's family were arranged to sit in the VIP seats in the front row.

At this moment, both parties were discussing the two children with smiles on their faces.

six thirty.

As the protagonist of today's concert, Lee Ji-eun is making final preparations in the dressing room.

“There are so many people out there, it feels like a wedding.”

Lee Ji-eun's makeup artist joked with a smile at this moment.

"Hehe~"

Hearing this, our lovely heroine smiled innocently with a sweet look on her face.

"Look at which earrings you want to wear, pearls or crystals?"

"I want the pearl one. Today is the 920th day that I've been dating him. I want to wear the pearl one."

"it is good."

at the same time.

On-site meeting scene.

Our handsome male protagonist was sitting next to Kim Soo Hyun in a suit and talking to him.

This brother retired from the army last month.

The first thing he did after his return was to leave the agency of his master Bae Yong-joon.

Then, he opened an agency with his cousin who made the terrible movie "Reality".

Without Bae Yong-joon's exploitation and oppression, he is not in a hurry to make a comeback.

First, he made a guest appearance in the last episode of "Hotel Del Luna" to see how the public reacted to him today.

Speaking of which, this brother was completely stunned after seeing Jin Qixuan.

When he joined the army, Jin Qixuan was just a newcomer in the film industry.

How come in just two years he became the top actor in Chungmuro?
This new wave is pushing too hard!
"Senior, what are your plans now? When will you make a comeback?"

"Um……"

Hearing this, Jin Xiuxian pondered for a moment and said:
"I want to first guest-star in a few dramas, playing the classic roles I have played before, to see if I can arouse the audience's emotions, and then choose a suitable script to make a comeback."

"Guest appearance...classic role..."

Hearing these key words, Jin Qixuan thought for a moment and said quickly:
"Senior, how about you make a cameo appearance in my play?"

"Hmm? Do you have a role in your play that's suitable for me to play as a guest star?"

"Yes, you can play Dong Gu (The Fool, Secret and Great). My drama is a realistic social satire. The director is Lee Chang-dong, and the other actors are Kim Hye-soo, Hwang Jung-min, and Yoo Hae-jin."

When hearing these names, Kim Soo Hyun was stunned.

Not to mention his current state, even during his peak period, he had never been part of a crew with such a luxurious lineup!
Moreover, with such a luxurious lineup, they actually made an art film that satirizes reality?
If you make any commercial film at random, it will easily gross over 10 million at the box office!

However, despite being shocked, Kim Soo Hyun quickly came to his senses and said hesitantly:

"Would it be inappropriate for me to make a guest appearance?"

It’s not that Kim Soo Hyun is being pretentious.

Rather, his relationship with Jin Qixuan was just an acquaintance.

If it weren’t for Lee Ji-eun, they might not even have said a few words to each other.

Therefore, he was a little overwhelmed for a moment when Jin Qixuan was so enthusiastic about helping him make a comeback.

"It's just a cameo anyway, it won't take long, I think the director will welcome you."

"Well...okay, thank you for your help."

"It's okay, but anyway."

Jin Qixuan looked at Jin Xiuxian and said:
"Senior, I think your vision in choosing scripts is a bit poor. I have a drama with a very good theme, called "Squid Game", which will start filming in the second half of next year. The director is Huang Donghe. I don't know if you have time..."

"Hmm? Hwang Dong Hyuk? The director of The Crucible?"

"Correct."

Seeing this, Kim Soo Hyun immediately became interested.

As he had just returned to the entertainment industry after retiring from the military, he was worried about not having the right resources.

"We haven't found all the actors for this play yet, but given your status, as long as you are willing to come, I believe Director Huang will not refuse."

"Well, could you please tell me about the script..."

After a while.

After listening to Jin Qixuan telling the story of "Squid Game".

Kim Soo Hyun's resentment towards him for having poor taste in choosing scripts instantly dissipated.

All that was left was embarrassment.

indeed.

Compared to "Squidward", the script he chose before, "Reality", was as bad as a pile of shit.

"Um... Junior, do you think there is a role suitable for me in this play?"

"Yes, let's go meet Director Hwang Dong Hyuk later and see which role you like."

"Thank you, junior brother, but why are you helping me so much?"

"Because... because I'm a fan of the senior."

Of course, it cannot be said that Jin Qixuan was satisfying his own bad taste.

Looking back, he played a minor role in "Producer" and Kim Soo Hyun was the male lead.

Time passes.

Nowadays, he plays the male lead and Kim Soo Hyun plays the supporting role.

This feeling of reversing status is so cool!
"All right……"

Although Kim Soo Hyun was a little skeptical about this reason.

But now, he has no time to care about these.

After all, compared to these, his comeback is more important.

……

Six fifty-five.

At this moment, there are still five minutes before the concert starts.

At the scene, the audience couldn't wait to start waving their cheering items.

"IU! IU! IU!"

The uniform shouts echoed throughout the venue.

At the same time, millions of fans watched this concert of the century through various channels.

"Brother and sister must be together!"

"My CP must have a happy ending!"

"IU! Kim Ki-Hyun!"

"..."

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the protagonist to appear.

At seven o'clock sharp.

As the accompaniment music sounded, a spotlight came on.

A graceful figure appeared on the stage.

Her appearance instantly ignited the entire scene!

Fans held up their cheering signs and shouted loudly.

At this moment, whether on site or online, the atmosphere has reached its peak!
