The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 109 Great Adventure, Lee Ji-eun

As night falls, the recording of the variety show "Runningman" comes to an end.

After finishing several large segments, the guests and members came to a cozy cabin. In the living room, the production team prepared food and drinks for them.

"Ah! Ji Hyo! You are my guardian angel, why are you protecting Xiao Cheng?!" Liu Zaishi sat on the sofa, thinking about this, and was speechless. After watching his performance for a day, the VJ took a close-up of his confused face after he just knew that Song Ji Hyo was his guardian angel.

"Thank you Ji Hyo." Gong Cheng sat happily with Song Ji Hyo, smiling brightly. After a series of game sessions, he was still hesitating whether his guardian angel was Lee Kwang Soo or Song Ji Hyo.

At the beginning, during the song guessing session, he and everyone else thought their guardian angel was Lee Kwang Soo. After all, Lee Kwang Soo's favoritism and behavior were already obvious.

But at the beginning of the second part, Song Ji Hyo not only handed him water but also helped him complete the task, which made him a little confused.

So in the segment just announced, it was officially confirmed that his guardian angel is Lee Kwang Soo.

Lee Sung-kyung's guardian angel is Yoo Jae-suk who is complaining.

After the PD gave the order to eat as much as he wanted, Gong Cheng couldn't resist the urging of Lee Kwang Soo and other MCs to drink, and had a few drinks with everyone present.

At the table, the atmosphere was harmonious, and he smiled genuinely. Before recording the show, he thought today's schedule would be very busy and tiring. After all, "Runningman" is most famous for the name tag tearing segment, which is very physically demanding.

However, this name tag tearing segment is not included in every episode. Today's main theme is to play funny games together, focusing on lightheartedness and fun.

Compared with his previous schedule of running around various film sets and composition studios and practice rooms, today was a day for him to take a break from his busy schedule.

"Bible, it's your turn. Please tell us what your first impression of Tarot was." At the dinner table, Lee Kwang Soo acted as the game MC. They were playing a drinking game, and on each poker card in their hand, there was written a question prepared by the program team.

Hearing the topic return to himself, Gong Cheng smiled and glanced at Li Jingjing beside him. He didn't know what impression he made in this sister's mind.

"When I first met him..." Li Jingjing took a sip of wine and pointed at the young man in his mouth: "I thought he was very handsome, really handsome."

As she spoke, she smacked her lips, as if recalling the scene of her first meeting with Gong Cheng.

Jiang Gary smiled and joked, "If you first met, it must have been on the set? Or at a TV station audition?"

"Look at the Bible's expression. Was he thinking, since he's so handsome, his acting must be terrible... kkk~"

"Haha~"

Gong Cheng looked at the male MCs' arrogant smiles. Were they a little too jealous? Putting aside their handsomeness, were they now targeting their acting skills?
Li Jingjing smiled guiltily. This guy hit the nail on the head. When she first met Gong Cheng, she did doubt his acting skills. Then she asked frankly, "Are you tired of being praised for being handsome?"

"It's okay. Actually, when I hear this kind of praise, I feel a little..." Gong Cheng touched the tip of his nose, thought for a while, and said, "I feel a little... shy? I feel at a loss..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lee Kwang Soo who rolled his eyes: "Ah Xi! Shy? Xiao Cheng, if you didn't want to be a singer, you could come to our show as a permanent MC. You'd be quite artistic. Also, when you said that, could you please smile modestly? Why do you smile so naturally and say things like, 'I'm at a loss...'"

"Kk~" Li Jingjing covered his mouth and laughed: "He is like this, he knows he is very handsome, so his expression is always like this... um... he deserves a beating..."

"But his acting is definitely not as bad as Oppa said. I thought so at first, but when we were filming, it really shocked me, the director, and the writer..."

Yoo Jae Suk remembered the scandals surrounding this guy and asked curiously, "What about Tarot's relationship? Do you know anything about it?"

"Oppa, that's the second question." Lee Sung-kyung smiled and waved her hand, refusing to answer. Then she gestured at Gong Cheng's cheek with her palm and said seriously, "With a look like this, how could girls not like him? It would be strange if he had never been in a relationship, right?"

"Oh~"

After finishing this topic, Lee Kwang-soo took the playing cards in his hand and read out the question that Gong Cheng answered: "Tarot, do you have anything to say to your fans?"

Gong Cheng realized it was his turn to play, and his expression became more serious. He thought for a moment and said, "The first snow is coming soon, so let's meet more often in the future."

"Woo woo woo~" Song Ji Hyo clapped her hands, "Actually, I'm Arcana too!"

As she spoke, she flashed her phone's screensaver to Gong Cheng. Bombardment Meteor's new album had just been released, and this was the first time she'd seen this younger guy. Both his songs and his looks really struck a chord with her.

"So, after the recording is over, can you sign an autograph for me and take a photo with me?" She had a fangirl look on her face, which really made Gong Cheng feel a little helpless. "What are you talking about, Ji Hyo, nuna, I have a new album in the car, I'll give it to you after the recording is over."

"Thank you for your love, Nuna."

Now, Gong Cheng finally understood why this sister cared about him more than his guardian angel Lee Kwang Soo.

As the game players rotated, he communicated more with Song Ji Hyo. This sister also showed him a lot of her recent playlists, and the most played songs were undoubtedly "Spring Day" and "Fake Love".

"Xiao Cheng, can you secretly tell Nuna that Bombardment Meteor will really disband?"

"Nuna, this question is difficult to answer. Whether the group stays or leaves isn't decided by me alone. The opinions of the other members are also important..."

Gong Cheng pursed his lips and smiled. To be honest, he had no idea what the final outcome of Bombardment Meteor would be. Would it really be like a shooting star, fleeting, or...

"It's your turn again, Xiaocheng!" Lee Kwang-soo shouted proudly. This time he drew the big dare, which was quite tough!

"Please open your phone's address book and call the first number in the call log, regardless of gender, to confess your love!"

"big Adventure!"

The MC and guests present immediately made the atmosphere very lively.

Gong Cheng was stunned. It was indeed a bit cruel. However, if he remembered correctly, wasn't the first number in his call log Lee Sung Kyung's?

The two of them called each other in the morning and made an appointment to record a show together...

Under everyone's supervision, Gong Cheng opened his mobile phone address book, quietly selected the number that lay at the top, and noted it as Lee Sung Kyung.

The guests opened their mouths in surprise.

"So, the Bible is right next to me, do we still need to talk?" Gong Cheng smiled helplessly and asked everyone. He could still afford to play a game.

"Of course I'll call," Yoo Jae-seok said, adding, "Bible, then please get ready to answer the phone."

"Inside."

"Inside."

The two responded.

Gong Cheng shrugged, took a sip of his wine, and dialed the number.

Another cell phone nearby rang, and Lee Sung-kyung answered the call.

All the MCs, guests, and staff present held their breath. Only a lyrical song played slowly over the speakers.

“…” Gong Cheng was silent for a while, not knowing what to say.

"Salangheyo~"

He spoke briefly.

Listening to the double echo coming from his ear and the receiver, Li Jingjing tilted his head and glanced at the younger man beside him: "What did you say?"

"Sarangheyo..."

Gong Cheng chuckled and repeated his story. He was about to hang up the phone. "The game should be over, right?" he thought. "Although my confession was brief, it was still a confession!"
Unexpectedly, Li Jingjing hung up the phone first. With an ambiguous smile on her face, she said, "Maybe you like Messi too?"

Everyone present was confused by this puzzling statement. How did it get to football?
Only Gong Cheng looked at her seriously and was stunned.

As the actor who plays the male lead in the drama "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo", no one knows better than him what this sentence means.

"I like Ronaldo!" Lee Kwang-soo saw Gong Cheng complete the task and shouted with great emotion: "Siu~~~~~"

"Maybe, you like Messi too? What does that mean?" Song Ji Hyo curiously asked what everyone present was thinking, but the more they looked at Gong Cheng and Lee Sung Kyung, the more they felt something was wrong.

When I think about the rumors about the two of them before, Ah Xi!
It can not be!

Pdnim was a little excited outside. This episode was so effective! Just from Gong Cheng's confession and those affectionate eyes, coupled with Lee Sung Kyung's ambiguous reply, he had a vague premonition.

This slice is going to explode!

"It's a line from the drama," Lee Sung-kyung explained, lowering his head and taking a sip of his wine. Yoo Jae-suk looked as if he'd seen it all. He said, "Sung-kyung, why don't you introduce this drama to Xiaocheng?"

This was also what the program team agreed upon before inviting the two to participate in the recording of the program, to help promote the upcoming drama "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo".

……

On November 1st, two days had passed since Gong Cheng finished recording "Runningman".

It also means that a week has passed since the official release of Bombardment Meteor's debut album "Fireworks are eternal". Major entertainment sections have announced the initial sales of this album, and Bombardment Meteor has completely ignited the peninsula.

Bombardment Meteor's first album "Fireworks are eternal" has sold 80 copies in its initial release (including pre-sales) and continues to rise!

[2016 G-Chart cumulative sales of 800521 copies, expected to lock in the G-Chart annual champion album!!!]

【Bombardment Meteor, full ascension!!!】

[Breaking News! Tarot has joined writer Kim Eun-sook's new drama "Goblin: The Lonely and Great God" and will play the lead role of Kim Seon.]

[It is reported that the crew of "Goblin" has gone to Canada for filming, and he has confirmed that he will join the crew. This is the second drama that Gong Sung has received since his debut. His first drama as an actor, "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo", will be broadcast on MBC TV on the 16th of this month.]

[As of now, Bombardment Meteor's debut album "Fireworks are eternal" has achieved all kills on music websites in many Asian countries, and the title songs "Fake Love" and "Spring Day" have been very popular.]

[Among them, Japanese and Chinese fans have been using JYP and Tarot’s social media platforms to express their hope for a Japanese and Chinese album.]

【…】

In Canada, on the set of "Goblin: Orphan and Great God", Lee Ji-eun calmly looked at the boy in front of her who was greeting the writer. He debuted as a solo singer, but the performance of his first album was not ideal.

But now, the Internet is almost full of the words Bombardment Meteor and Tarot. "Fireworks are eternal" is like a meteor, which has detonated the whole of Asia.

Gong Cheng yawned after finishing his conversation with co-star Lee Dong-wook. After finishing "Running Man," he flew to Canada with the crew that night to continue filming.

Due to the crew's rush to meet deadlines and his own schedule, he'd been so busy these past two days that he'd barely slept. The longest he'd slept was on the plane coming here.

The Fairmont Chateau Fontana Hotel in front of us is located on the north bank of the St. Lawrence River in Quebec. In the script, it is the private property of the character Jin Qun, played by myself.

In the early morning, on the return flight, Li Zhien's seat was right next to Gong Cheng. She yawned, feeling a little sleepy. Taking off the headphones, she looked at Gong Cheng, who was still holding the script, and smiled: "So hardworking?"

As they joined the crew to shoot the film, and the fact that the two of them were not far apart in age and both debuted as solo singers, they had a lot in common and their relationship was much closer than that of the other leading actors in the crew.

"Are you awake, Jieun?" Gong Cheng asked casually, rubbing his sore eyes. He didn't yell or anything. She was small, only a few years older than him, and seniority wasn't something he really cared about. So they both spoke in plain language. "Writer-nim, let me create an OST. Time is tight, so I'll take a look at the script first."

As for the OST, it must be produced according to the content of the script, so he is particularly careful in reading the script. On the one hand, it is for the purpose of making songs, and on the other hand, it is also for the next filming so that he can interpret the role of Jin Quan more deeply.

"OST?" Li Zhien nodded, then said, "Can I listen to it after the arrangement is finished?"

She was quite curious about Gong Cheng. She was shocked that all the songs on his debut album, including the recently released group album "Fireworks are eternal", were produced by Tarot.

She had heard the songs before, and they were amazing. Many of them were huge hits, and the music market was slowly proving this guy's ability and vision.

"Ok. Then please give me some suggestions when the time comes." Gong Cheng closed the script and had a rough outline of the creation of this OST in his mind.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to let the sister next to me take a look when the time comes. She's a pretty good producer, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to stay on Peninsula Trends for so long. We're all producers, so it wouldn't be a bad idea for us to have an in-depth exchange.

Closing his eyes, he suddenly remembered a funny story about Lee Ji-eun. Then he opened his eyes and gave her a strange look, then adjusted his chair, turned his head to the side, and squinted his eyes.

Li Zhien was speechless when she saw his expression of wanting to say something but not being able to. What on earth was he trying to say? Why was he keeping people in suspense?
Gong Cheng laughed twice as he was about to fall asleep. Forget it, I won't say anymore...

……

November 3rd, Thursday.

Gong Cheng dragged his tired body off the plane. In front of the airport, a large number of fans gathered to greet him.

“Tarot!!!”

“Old Palace, Old Palace, Old Palace!!!”

"Gong Cheng oppa!"

"Sarangheyo oppa!"

"Oppa, please sign an autograph for me! Oppa!"

"..."

The scene, which was like a zombie frenzy, shocked every colleague in the crew. They all worked in the entertainment industry and had seen many popular actors and singers, big and small. The fans behind each popular star were crazy.

But when Kim Eun-sook and Lee Eung-bok looked at the dense crowd around them, it was so crazy that it made them a little scared!

Gong Cheng and Lee Ji-eun, who were surrounded in the crowd, found it difficult to move.

Excited and frantic faces flickered in Gong Cheng's tranquil eyes. He took off his mask wearily and said, "An Ning, Haseyo, thank you all for your love and support. I hope everyone will give way and not disturb others."

As he spoke, under the cover of security personnel and 'human shield' Oppa Kim Daewoo, he slowly walked through the crowd and got into the nanny car.

"Tsk tsk, you're such a big shot. If you don't know, you'd think you're filming Resident Evil." Lee Ji-eun curled her lips, a little frightened by the scene just now.

Hundreds of dark-skinned people, upon seeing Gong Cheng, surged like marching ants...

Gong Cheng curled his lips in silence. It seemed like quite a few of those people were fans of this girl, right? She didn't mention it.

After a brief farewell to the "Goblin" crew, he went back to the dormitory to take a shower with Kim Dae-woo driving him.

Then he was pulled into the beauty salon by Jin Dae-woo and asked the makeup artist to put on some simple makeup for him. There was no other way, as his recent busy schedule made him look a little pale.

In the beauty salon, Gong Cheng met the members he hadn't seen for a few days, Park Jae-Bum, Zhang Yixing, and Lim Young-Woong. The three of them had already finished their makeup and were waiting for him.

"Ah! You JYP guys are such a jerk!" Lin Yingxiong cursed at the youngest member's ugly face. Even though Jin Daewoo was right next to him, he still had to say this as a brother.

"Don't you know how to let Makoto take a break? Even an iron man can't run a schedule like this, right?"

Zhang Yixing didn't say anything, but he also stepped forward to rub Gong Cheng's shoulders. He wasn't in much better condition when he was on EXO's schedule.

Kim Dae-woo chuckled awkwardly, not knowing how to respond. He felt sorry for the brat, but there were some schedules that the company couldn't push, like the drama "Goblin" and some music promotion activities.

How do you promote this? It's so hard to get a script and a pairing that's finally going viral, but if you don't take advantage of the hype and build on it, are you going to wait until the opportunity cools down before you start working on it?

Park Jae-bum was scrolling through his phone when he suddenly saw a post that had just become a trending topic.

"Can this idiot JYP just die? What do they think of artists?"

Content: [According to JYP insiders, Gong Sung oppa's schedule is already booked until next year. After the group's debut album is released, he's been busy filming "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo" and "Goblin," as well as participating in variety shows. He flew to Canada to film that night. He just got off the plane and will be performing on Mnet's M! Countdown, which happens every Thursday, this afternoon to promote his music...]

[Photos]

The photo was taken by Gong Cheng 2 hours ago when he was picking up someone at the airport. His bloodshot eyes under the brim of his hat flashed with fatigue and haggardness.

The comments below have already exploded!

"Damn it Park Jin-young! Can you bastard let my oppa rest for a bit?"

"Go to hell! Stupid company!"

"Can Gong Cheng oppa switch to SM?"

"Wow, I feel so sorry for Oppa~"

"What, Oppa is going to be on Mnet M! Countdown tonight?"
