Chapter 112 BLACKPINK (Subscribe)

In a large flat in Jiangnan District.

The TV in the living room was playing "Running Man", a variety show that is extremely popular among the people of the Peninsula. However, because it was late at night, Park Jae-bum had turned on the rerun.

One of the guests on the screen was sitting next to him drinking beer.

"Biblexi, is it interesting to you?" Park Jae-bum stuffed a peanut into his mouth, watched the clip at the end of the show, and spoke suddenly.

Gong Cheng clinked glasses with Zhang Yixing beside him and said vaguely, "No?"

There were a lot of takeout barbecue and scattered beer cans on the coffee table. The show started, and he was also watching his first variety show performance carefully.

How should I put it? Overall, his performance was actually much better than he'd imagined. At least he didn't think he had much artistic talent, but the three brothers beside him were laughing so hard.

Especially when he appeared on stage, the later editing of the program exaggeratedly added a long list of titles such as actor & singer, "Detonating Asia..." To be honest, it was a bit awkward... but also a bit refreshing...

"Ah! Brothers, don't you believe it?" Lin Yingxiong picked up a piece of fried pork chop and said, covering his heart with a hurt look: "Come on, maknae, are you and Lee Sung Kyung-xi real or not?"

"I heard that many actors fall in love during filming?"

"Haha, this is the maknae's first variety show recording. You're only concerned about this?" Zhang Yixing said something nice for him, but that was all. He then put his arm around Gong Cheng's shoulders and said, "Maknae, tell the brothers, otherwise..."

The threatening tone is self-evident.

Gong Cheng shrugged with a wry smile, looking like he really couldn't do anything about you: "Well, how should I put it, anyway, I have some feelings, but not much, you know? It just feels like something is missing..."

He honestly expressed his feelings for Lee Sung-kyung, believing there was nothing to hide. He knew all the private affairs of the three brothers, and none of them hid anything from each other. Furthermore, as artists and friends, he wouldn't go around spreading rumors.

Just like Park Jae-bum, the father of the girl he's dating now even brought him over for a meal last time. The same goes for Lim Young-woong, except his girl's father isn't in the entertainment industry.

As for Zhang Yixing, there wasn't anything wrong with him. But Gong Cheng's intuition told him that anyone playing with him couldn't be any good.
"Maybe you like Messi too?"

"What are the lines from your play?"

Park Jae-Bum opened another bottle of beer and said, "That sounds quite interesting."

Based on his understanding of Peninsula TV dramas, youth idol dramas like this one, which are huge hits, always have some classic lines that turn into popular internet buzzwords that sweep the nation.

"dudu~"

Hearing Gong Cheng's cell phone ringing, Park Jae-fan turned down the volume of the TV.

"Hey."

"Oppa, are you still drinking? Are you okay? Do you want me to take a taxi to pick you up?" Zhao Meiyan's sweet voice in the receiver seemed to have the effect of sobering up as well as worry and tension.

Gong Cheng put down his glass under the gazes of the three pairs of spectators. "Don't worry, Pabo, you haven't had much to drink. I'll be there soon. If you feel sleepy, take a rest first. Be obedient."

"I'm not sleepy. I understand, Oppa. Drink less~"

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yixing smiled coquettishly: "You should drink less~"

Gong Cheng took the freshly opened bottle of beer from Park Jae-Bum and angrily pushed him away. Really! No wonder this guy was affectionately called "Little Lamb" by fans after participating in that variety show in China.

But what he understood was that sheep are quite smelly and coquettish.

"Daughter?" Park Jae-fan asked jokingly, "When will you bring her over for the brothers to meet?"

He listened to the voice on the phone and it sounded familiar. It seemed like he had spoken to this youngest member several times before, but he hadn't asked about it before.

"No, it should be the maknae's ex-girlfriend, right?" Lin Yingxiong remembered this incident. He had secretly asked Gong Cheng at that time, so he knew something.

"Yes, my ex-girlfriend." Gong Cheng answered calmly, and then he raised the bottle of wine, thinking that after finishing this bottle, he would leave first, leaving these three brothers to have fun by themselves. They were so gossipy all day long.

The crisp clanging of wine bottles sounded particularly pleasant against the slightly tipsy faces of the people.

On the TV screen, the scene of "Running Man" cut to Song Ji-hyo and Gong Sung whispering to each other. Her whispered question, amplified by the director, was neither too loud nor too soft: "Xiao Cheng, can you tell Nuna quietly, is Bombardment Meteor really going to disband?"

The program editor seemed to be very knowledgeable and knew that Song Ji Hyo's question could tease the audience's nerves and start a new topic, so not only did they add subtitles, they also made the font bolder.

Following Gong Cheng’s answer on the show.

In the living room, the four people who had just finished their drinks fell silent. The atmosphere seemed a little unbearable, oppressive?
It seems that this question is not only what Song Ji-hyo on the screen wants to know, but also what the audience wants to know, the people of the Korean Peninsula want to know, the fans in Asia want to know, and even the fans of Bombardment Meteor who have spread all over the world want to know. In fact, the four of them also want to know...

But the four hands holding the wine glasses represent four entertainment companies. Park Jae-Bum, Lim Young-Woong, and Zhang Yixing all have their own entertainment companies or studios. As for Gong Cheng, he's also preparing for his next full-length album and embarking on the path of solo...

"dududu~"

Fortunately, the silence didn't last long. Gong Cheng's phone rang again.

He answered the number, and it was the little tiger: "Oppa, I'm done with my shower. I left your key in the usual hiding place at the door. Come back early."

"..."

For a moment, Gong Cheng couldn't think about the future of Bombardment Meteor. He just felt his handsome face flush with embarrassment.

Son Chaeyoung and Jo Miyeon's voices are completely different, and he thinks anyone with good hearing can tell the difference.

Under the gazes of three pairs of strange eyes, Gong Cheng simply instructed the little tiger, telling her to lock the door and so on, and then quickly hung up the phone.

He quickly stood up, picked up his coat and put it on: "Brother, I have something to do, I'm leaving first..."

I’m afraid that my reputation as a pure and upright young man will be lost!

"Ashi! Who is this?"

"It's my mother, right?!"

"Tsk tsk, this brat! How can he be hanging around with his ex-girlfriend while hooking up with someone else?"

"Judging from the sound, he's an entertainer, right?"

The three of them chattered in a flurry, the previously dull atmosphere seemingly ripped open by the phone call and the gossip before them. Several of them, eager to intervene, were eager for more chaos. As for Bombardment Meteor, no one knew what the future held.

"We're just close friends..." Gong Cheng tried to slip away but was hugged by Park Jae-fan. He quickly explained.

Actually, regarding his relationship with Little Tiger, he thought it was okay to introduce it to his friends. It wouldn't be a big deal if he openly admitted to being in a relationship, but Little Tiger said he wanted to keep it a secret. It had to be kept secret, there was no other way.
So he thought that the most urgent thing was to find a real girlfriend?

"Ashi! You stinky boy!"

"My concern for you was in vain! I was thinking that your JYP schedule would make you exhausted!"

"I didn't expect you to have so many private schedules..."

Park Jae-fan and his companions let go of his hands and feet as he tried to escape, muttering a few words in annoyance.

Zhang Yixing then picked up the hat that Gong Cheng had left behind from the sofa and handed it to him: "Be careful of the paparazzi."

Gong Cheng smiled and put the hat on his head. This guy is quite experienced.

……

"Pabo, what do handcuffs mean?"

……

"Chaeyoung~"

"Why are you wearing Mina's clothes?"

……

The next day, backstage at the KBS Music Bank pre-recording, in the waiting room, makeup artist Nuna looked at Gong Cheng's tired cheeks with distress. With such heavy dark circles, JYP really doesn't know how to let their artists have a good rest?
"Nuna, let me cover your dark circles. Make sure you get some rest, Xiao Cheng." As the makeup artist Nuuna put on his makeup, she muttered, "You JYP artists really have it hard. Last time, when Twice came to promote their music, they all…"

Park Jae-bum and others who were sitting on the sofa couldn't help but burst out laughing.

They knew the youngest member was busy with his schedule late into the night... After putting on makeup, he headed to the recording studio. Most of the groups and crew members who appeared were the same ones he'd seen on "M!Countdown" the previous night, though some smaller companies were missing. Every music show requires a group to pay for their appearances, even if they're currently a popular group.

Therefore, after seeing Bombardment Meteor's strong start to their music promotion period, some groups from small entertainment companies chose to withdraw on their own and focus on some small music promotion programs.

Otherwise, if you hit the Bombardment Meteor, it will be a waste of money and there will be no return.

The Bombardment Meteor members chatted briefly with the IOI members and then returned to the waiting room.

After a while, there was another knock on the door.

"An Ning Ha Sai Yo, hello seniors, we are BLACKPINK."

In the waiting room, four girls walked in one after another. The girl in the lead showed no sign of shyness at all when seeing her seniors: "An Ning Hello, I'm JENNIE Jin Zhenni."

"I'm Lisa..."

“I’m Jisoo…”

"I'm Rose..."

"Senior, this is our newly released single album."

Gong Cheng flipped through the album "SQUARE TWO" in his hand. It was the second single album released by the group in front of him two days ago.

BLACKPINK is YG's new girl group, launched seven years after 2NE1, and debuted two months later than her own. Zhao Miyeon was previously a member of the group's pre-debut group.

When he debuted in August, he was called a rookie monster. Coupled with YG's long-standing music performance, many fans said that his debut was the peak.

Park Jae-bum chatted with Kim Jenny and others with a smile.

"Hello, Kim Jisoo. Don't you recognize me?" Gong Cheng jokingly looked at the girl in front of him who looked a bit like Tang Wei. Her comeback look this time was strawberry red hair. To be honest... it was okay.

Her groupmates Lisa and Rose both have blonde hair, but the shades are different. And Jennie, who was chatting with Park Jae-Bum, has hair that looks like a gradient brown?

"Yes, senior. I know him." Kim Ji-soo didn't expect Gong Cheng to speak up and bring the topic to her.

How could she not know Gong Cheng? He's Miyeon's ex-boyfriend!

Last year, when the two were still together, she had seen Zhao Meiyan twice during breaks in practice. As for the three teammates beside her, she had heard of them but had never seen them.

Especially during this period, starting in the spring, Zhao Meiyan's pabo had been texting and calling her every few days, all about this smiling guy in front of her. She was almost getting calluses from hearing so much!

From every emotional analysis she gave to Zhao Meiyan, Jin Zhixiu felt that she understood Gong Cheng better than this pabo...

The conversation between the two instantly attracted the attention of the members in the waiting room. Park Jae-bum's eyes flashed with a strange smile! Pah! You are still a pure and upright young man?
"Why are you calling me senior if we know each other?" Gong Cheng curled his lips speechlessly, then turned to the members beside him and explained, "Really? Brother! What are you looking at me with?"

"Miyeon was a member of their group preparing to debut..."

Zhang Yixing and Lin Yingxiong nodded in sudden realization. Zhao Meiyan and the others knew about the maknae's ex-girlfriend. Needless to say, search engines were full of rumors about their past relationship.

Although Gong Cheng has not spoken out to clarify anything, in the eyes of fans and the public, they have already accepted this fact.

"Then, Gong Chengxi?" Kim Ji-soo hesitated and changed her address, thinking back to a year ago when she first met Gong Cheng, she had secretly joked with Zhao Meiyan about her boyfriend.

It would be a shame if he didn't become an idol, but now, he not only debuted as a solo singer, but also formed the popular group Bombardment Meteor.

But she was actually a little unhappy when she saw Gong Cheng. It was all his fault. How many times had she been killed? How many points had she lost?

"..." Gong Cheng was convinced: "Then you should just call me senior."

If I remember correctly, Kim Ji-soo is a year older than me, right? I thought since she's a close friend of Zhao Mi-yeon's, we could get to know each other better and there wouldn't be any need to be so restrained or anything.

As a result, this sister keeps coming back all the time, it’s so annoying!
"Senior, I really like your songs." Lisa came up from beside Kim Jisoo, holding the album "Fireworks are eternal": "Especially the song UK Drill from your debut album."

Kim Jennie ended her conversation with Park Jae-bum and added, "The MV is also very cool. It's a rare and meaningful black pop song."

"Thank you." Gong Cheng smiled and greeted them, chatting briefly. He then sat back on the sofa and played with his phone. Aside from Kim Ji-soo, he had no desire to communicate with the other three members.

Although he had a good relationship with Zhao Meiyan, this was the first time he met her, so it was necessary to be a little distant.

"How are you and Miyeon?" Jin Zhixiu thought for a moment, then came to his side and asked quietly. She was still very concerned about her best friend's relationship. After all, she was Zhao Miyeon's military advisor, right?

It is still necessary to ask about the progress of the two.

She believed that the current relationship between Gong Cheng and Zhao Meiyan was no different from a reconciliation, but the culprit who caused her to lose points had never taken the initiative to bring up the topic of continuing the relationship, and Meiyan's pabo was also stubborn, foolishly saying all day long that oppa had just debuted and there was no way he could do this or that...

She was almost annoyed by what she heard!
She's simply a love-brained person! But the problem is, in her eyes, the current relationship between these two people is not even a love relationship!

"Very good." Gong Cheng glanced at her, lowered his head and continued playing with his phone.

"That's not what I'm asking..." Kim Ji-soo asked a little depressed.

"Are you also going to ask about your senior's private life, Kim Ji-soo?" Gong Cheng put down his phone, narrowed his smile, and began to play Tai Chi with her. This kind of question couldn't be answered lightly. This girl looked like a spy, and it was obvious at first glance that she was secretly communicating with the enemy.

How sad would our Miyeon be if the nonsense that they haven't reconciled yet got to her ears?
He really cares about Zhao Meiyan.

"..." Jin Zhixiu opened her mouth, somewhat speechless. Is this person so vindictive? Didn't he just give you face and keep a distance from you? Is it necessary to be like this? He even puts on the airs of a senior and teases me with words...

……

"..."

"9655vs3721vs4192"

"Congratulations to the winner of Music Bank today!!!"

"Bombardment Meteor!!!"

In the center of the stage, behind the MC, stood a large group of artists from various groups, roughly thirty or forty people, and the IOI group alone accounted for one third of them.

IOI looked at the scoreboard behind them, smiled helplessly, and then applauded Gong Cheng and the others in the center of the stage. Before coming to today's music show, they had already prepared themselves mentally: if they couldn't win, then so be it...

On the other hand, the four members of Blackpink, standing to the left of Bombardment Meteor, had a slightly disappointed look on their faces, but they quickly adjusted their expressions. Even YG's proud sound source was defeated by Bombardment Meteor's popularity, which made them feel a little frustrated.

After the promotion, Gong Cheng took a photo of the trophy and posted it on Instagram, casually adding a '2' to the caption.

……

"Something big happened!!!"

"Stinky boy!"

That afternoon, on the set of "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo", Gong Cheng finished filming his scenes and came down from the set.

Jin Dayu had a tense face, clutching his cell phone, with an ugly expression.

"What's wrong, brother?" he asked in confusion.

"Someone broke the news online, saying that the arrangement of the song 'Fake Love' you produced was suspected of plagiarism and was highly similar." Jin Dae-woo handed over the phone in a deep voice. The webpage was full of hot searches, and the popularity continued to rise.

"Someone dug out the video and compared the audio tracks, and it went viral online."

"How is it possible? This arrangement took me a lot of effort to produce." Gong Cheng took the phone in confusion. Could it be that the rivals were trying to throw dirty water on him again and use some tricks?

"Take a look first." Jin Dae-woo's face was solemn. You know, the person who benefited the most from the recent hit of Bombardment Meteor was Gong Cheng in front of him. In addition to his good looks, which was called a god-like face, his creative ability was also the most popular factor.

Once plagiarism is proven, it will be an indelible stain!
Even if you create a great and respected work in the future, people will still question whether it is plagiarism...

Gong Cheng clicked the play button on the video, and the screen flashed frame by frame along with the progress bar. Under the dark night sky, China's Long March 5 rocket completed its maiden launch mission at 8:43 last night, achieving complete success...

The location was the Wenchang Space Launch Site. After ignition, the rocket's engine instantly erupted in flames, and it soared into the sky, illuminating the entire night sky. And as the rocket ascended, the familiar voiceover grew increasingly passionate and majestic... like a grand symphony...

"The plagiarism they're referring to isn't this song, is it?"

Gong Cheng's expression was odd, and he grinned. Plagiarizing himself? Haha!
