The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 129 KBS Song Festival

On December 26, after participating in the SBS Gayo Daejeon, Gong Cheng said goodbye to the members.

He got in a nanny car with EXO's Park Chanyeol and Oh Sehun and went to SM. Last week, he had already completed the arrangement and lyrics of Red Velvet's title song "Bad Boy" and sent it to SM.

Lee Soo-man seemed to be quite satisfied with the song, but Gong Cheng went to SM not only for Red Velvet's title song, but also for his collaboration song with Park Chanyeol, which was "Cowardly".

He was thinking about having the company upload the audio version of the song after the performance at the KBS Music Festival on December 29th. So tonight, he and Park Chanyeol agreed to record the audio version of the song.

After the live broadcast, the news about Bombardment Meteor participating in the SBS Gayo Daejeon stage also went viral on the Internet.

Various live versions or video clips are circulating.

But in Gong Cheng's eyes, this year's SBS Song Festival was quite grand, but the overall effect was actually not as good as the KBS Song Festival, where hundreds of singers and idols performed on stage, with fake smiles and applause.

Even Twice's Tofu, who loves to fake a smile, had a stiff face.

As for this year's MBC Song Festival, although it's scheduled for December 31st and rehearsals haven't even begun, he still knows the details of the process. It's even more boring. The show will be on a semi-open-air stage, not to mention the cold. I heard there will be a fireworks display, but the question is, how loud will the fireworks be? How petty.

"Ah! I'm so exhausted! There's also the KBS Music Festival, the MBC Music Festival, and the grand prize after the New Year." Park Chanyeol pouted complainingly, "I've had a lot of personal schedules lately, too. It's really exhausting."

Gong Cheng looked at the brother saying this, but there was no dissatisfaction in his expression. Why did it feel like he was showing off? In this industry, the busier the schedule, the more popular you are. Park Chanyeol naturally understood this principle.

Instead, Wu Sehun on the side pouted in dissatisfaction.

"The KBS Music Festival actually has a stage with Kim Jong Dae, Kim Minseok, and Byun Baekhyun. Is it called the EXO-CBX sub-group?" Gong Cheng changed the subject, remembering the program list of the KBS Music Festival, and asked casually.

If I remember correctly, the sub-group formed by these three, cbx, debuted on October 31st, while Bombardment Meteor's first album debuted 6 days earlier, on the 25th.

If he hadn't looked at the program list today, he would have almost forgotten about EXO and forming a sub-group to debut... No wonder Baekhyun looked at him strangely when he saw him recently.

I was completely blown away!
"Yeah, cbx, it's not too far from your Bombardment Meteor debut," Park Chanyeol said with a laugh before moving on to another topic: "I heard that parents will be invited to our collaborative stage. Did you know? Even Lim Nayeon's mom."

"I know." Gong Cheng nodded and couldn't help but think of Lin Nayeon's mother. He hadn't met her yet, but he had met her mother's ex-boyfriend.

……

Under the cover of night, the three of them came to SM's underground parking lot. Behind their nanny car, there was another nanny car carrying Red Velvet members.

"Good evening, Senior Zhu Xuan." Gong Cheng smiled and waved his hand to greet him.

His short legs are so strong that he has to jump to get off the car.

"Tarot, your performance tonight was super cool." Sun Shengwan came up to him, did two dance moves, and hummed two lyrics with a smile: "Mane Mane~~"

As for the title song "Bad Boy" that was sent to them not long ago, the members of Red Velvet all thought it was very good, and they couldn't help but look up to the producer again.

After a simple greeting, Gong Cheng smiled and said, "I'm leaving first. I have to record a song with Chanyeol."

"Seoul Three Cannons, are these three people so close now? Cannon line?"

Park Soo-young looked at Gong Cheng and the other two going upstairs, and suddenly remembered the hot search not long ago, and muttered to herself.

These three people are almost the same height, except for senior Sehun who is a few centimeters shorter.

"Ah! What are you talking about?" Bae Joo-hyun glared at her with a blushing face. Yilin is not even an adult yet, and she said such things.

Really are……

……

Early in the morning of December 29th, all members of Bombardment Meteor arrived at the rehearsal site of the KBS Song Festival.

Along the way, I saw a lot of seniors and groups at the venue. We had all met at the SBS Gayo Daejeon two days before, so it was pretty much the same group. For example, there was the girl group IOI, who had recently wanted to buy my song "Shower," SM's EXO, Red Velvet, SHINee, the group that Choi Minho, who I had recently met on "Running Man," was from, BTS, VIXX, GOT7, EXID, GFriend, Apink's Jung Eun-ji, and Girls' Generation's Kim Taeyeon...

There are more than 120 people in the group and solo singers, and the selection criteria for the performance lineup of the Song Festival are the top 21 groups in terms of the total number of sound sources, albums, and program playbacks. In addition, the organizers have also invited several respected seniors in the music industry.

"An Ning, hello, Taeyeon senior." Gong Cheng greeted Kim Taeyeon with a smile. Why didn't he see Xiahou Qingyi?
"Tarot, why are you so polite? Didn't we just meet at the Song Festival two days ago?" Kim Taeyeon said with a smile.

"..."

After visiting around and greeting many senior members, Bombardment Meteor went to chat with people they knew and agreed to meet in the lounge later.

Gong Cheng glanced at Twice's lounge and found that BamBam from GOT7 was gathering in the crowd of Twice people, saying something to that rabbit-toothed guy, but he looked like a bootlicker.

He was speechless. He was now increasingly suspicious that the rumor circulating within the company that he and he were rivals in pursuing Lim Nayeon was a deliberate attempt by this guy to flatter himself.

"Brother Jackson."

Gong Cheng walked up to Wang Jiaer and greeted him. As for the others, they just smiled and nodded perfunctorily and that was it.

In short, everyone was just being perfunctory in front of the camera, and the other members of GOT7 only managed a smile and a nod in response. Only BamBam didn't react at all, staring at Gong Cheng with a competitive look on his face.

"Ah! Why are you here just now?" Lin Nayeon pouted and walked up to him, her tone sounding a little dissatisfied.

"Just now, Chanyeol senior was looking for you, Oppa." Zhou Ziyu pursed her lips and reminded him.

"Did you tell me what you wanted to talk to me about?"

"It seems like it's about being the backstage MC."

Gong Cheng nodded, took note of the matter, and prepared to go to the XO lounge later. Then, he casually glanced at BamBam, who was half a head shorter than him.

It seems to be saying, don't force yourself to fit into a circle you can't fit into.

BamBam glared at him angrily, the corners of his mouth twitching.

Judging from the lip movements, it seems like he is saying "Asi~".

Gong Cheng smiled and narrowed his eyes, feeling a little unhappy. Why is this person so sensitive? Didn't she just glance at him? And her skin turned red?

"I'm talking to you!" Seeing that Gong Cheng ignored her, Lin Nayeon reached out and poked his arm, trying to make her presence felt.

BamBam looked at this scene, his blood boiling and he felt a little breathless.

Isn't Gong Cheng's current performance just like Lin Nayeon's earlier performance? Isn't Lin Nayeon just like herself earlier?
"I just chatted with Taeyeon senior for a few more minutes. Who knows, we might have a chance to work together in the future." Gong Cheng turned around and smiled, then he noticed that Twice had just finished rehearsing, and there was still a lot of sweat on Lin Nayeon's forehead, which was stuck to her hair and imprinted on her forehead.

He reached out and helped her push the strands of hair behind her ears, saying unhappily, "You're sweating, but you don't even bother to wipe it off. Isn't it dirty? It's so cold, you'll catch a cold if the wind blows."

As he spoke, he rubbed his sweaty fingers on Lin Nayeon's clothes until they were clean.

Wang Jiaer was too busy watching the show. Seeing his own group members' blushes that couldn't be covered up even with foundation, he quickly tried to smooth things over: "Jihyo, Xiaocheng, we're leaving first. It's almost time for rehearsal. You guys chat first."

Then, he winked at Lin Zaifum from the group. "Why aren't you leaving? And you're still laughing! If there's a real conflict, Gong Cheng will really hit me! Ah Xi!"

It sounded like a scolding and blaming, but when Lin Nayeon heard it, her face turned red. Does this bastard care about her?

Gong Cheng smiled and watched the GOT7 members leaving the lounge one after another. He took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to Lin Nayeon: "Wipe it well."

Why is there another red?
"You are so bad, oppa." Kim Dahyun came closer and muttered softly.

There are so many rumors in the company, and the Twice members are also aware of a lot of them. For example, this oppa and BamBam from GOT7 are pursuing Nayeon together, which has led to incompatibility.

According to them, the two do have a bad relationship, but it's not because of Nayeon! BamBam has always believed this... So the scene just now clearly showed that this oppa was pissing off BamBam.

"Aren't you going to look for Chanyeol?" Jackson Wang glanced at the Twice members in the lounge and pulled Gong Cheng out. "Why do you always provoke BamBam? I'm really impressed by you, kid!"

"Can't we just get along?"

Listening to the faint sound of scolding outside the door, a burst of laughter came from the Twice lounge. This guy is really bad.

Only Lin Nayeon lowered her head, the blush on her cheeks faded, and her expression looked ugly.

Is he caring about himself just to piss off BamBam?

"Hey bro! How can we get along? Seriously, if Nayeon was really my mother, and he dared to act like this, embarrassing him would be a small matter. I would definitely smash his implants!"

Hearing Gong Cheng's laughing voice outside the door, Lin Nayeon's face looked much better.

Mother?
Hey! Kim Ji-soo! Can you please stand up for yourself?!
"Don't say that. I haven't adjusted myself, okay?" Wang Jiaer pointed out the loophole in his words in a speechless voice.

"After cleaning up, shouldn't we adjust it? Okay, brother, don't worry, I was just kidding you."

"Kk~" In Twice's lounge, Yu Jeongyeon laughed twice and said, "Gong Cheng Oppa, you are so arrogant~" "But what you said really makes my heart flutter~"

As she spoke, she put her arm around her good friend Lim Nayeon's shoulders and smiled mischievously.

Recently, she has been watching every move of Lim Nayeon, including her recent performance. Initially, when Gong Cheng first came to JYP and became familiar with everyone in Twice, she was worried that this oppa would bring trouble to one of her members.

Take the case of Nayeon and Gong Sung for example. Now it seems that it is more likely that Nayeon is interested in Gong Sung oppa.

"What are you talking about?"

Lin Nayeon glared at her, almost with "I don't have it" written on her face.

……

At 8 pm, the KBS Music Festival was broadcast live to the world via SNS.

After the opening speeches by hosts Park Bo Gum and Kim Seol Hyun, more than 120 artists sang a song "A Candle" as the opening.

Later, the four members of Bombardment Meteor and the nine members of Twice, all dressed in white, appeared on stage together and sang a rap chorus: "Every time at this time, I will ask myself in the mirror~~"

"~~~"

After all the groups appeared at the opening, Gong Cheng and Park Chanyeol rushed back to the backstage. They still had work to do as backstage MCs.

Fortunately, apart from the collaboration stage between the two, the program order is slightly in the middle, and the remaining group stages of Bombardment Meteor and EXO are at the end of the lower half.

Overall, there was plenty of time to prepare.

After changing into the black suit provided by the production team, Gong Cheng walked out of the dressing room and into the backstage hall. All the groups that had opened the show on stage had returned backstage, leaving only Park Bo Gum and Kim Seol Hyun as the hosts, introducing the VCR on the screen and the first show of the night.

"Handsome!"

"..."

Many female idols from girl groups couldn't help but admire Gong Cheng when they saw him wearing a suit and holding a microphone.

"Ah! Why are your shoulders so broad?" Park Chanyeol stood beside Gong Cheng, glanced at his shoulders, and muttered somewhat unconvinced.

"Wow! Oppa, this is the first time I see you wearing a suit! You look so handsome!" Sun Caiying came over and gave a thumbs up in admiration, her eyes rolling around, and no one knew what this little tiger was planning.

"Gong Chengxi, great!"

When a few members of Red Velvet passed by him, Bae Joo-hyun smiled and praised them.

Although this young man has a lot of gossip, his reputation for good figure and handsome looks is not in vain.

"Oh, it would be nice if I could be the MC with senior Joohyun." Gong Cheng joked with a smile, glancing at Park Chanyeol beside him with a look of disgust.

"Hehe..." Park Chanyeol was too lazy to pay attention to him. Instead, he was communicating enthusiastically with the IOI members next to him. After just a few words, he exchanged contact information with two of the members.

There are quite a few seats in the backstage hall behind the two of them, which are usually arranged for groups that do not have a lounge, and can also be used as a camera when broadcasting the backstage scene.

Many slightly obscure or newly debuted groups were looking at the two tall figures not far away and whispering to each other.

“Tsk tsk, as expected of Chanyeol, he’s already exchanged contact information with the IOI members…”

"What do you think? Seoul's three great cannons..."

"..."

After discussing the script with the organizer's staff, Gong Cheng immediately wanted to return to the Bombardment Meteor lounge. He didn't know what these people were looking at him with.

Whenever someone passes by me, he always glances down and has no respect for others at all.

During this period, many female idols slipped him notes, but judging from their looks, none of them interested him.

"Asi, you have high standards." Park Chanyeol said after watching him throw the note into the trash can.

"Is it time for our MC to come on stage?" Gong Cheng didn't respond to the question and glanced at his watch. Then he heard the staff's reminder: "Tarot, Park Chanyeol, get ready. The live broadcast will be going backstage soon."

The two of them then put away their smiles and put on serious expressions.

……

"Dang Dang Dang~"

"An Ning Ha Sai Yo, I'm Tarot of Bombardment Meteor, one meter."

"An Ning Ha Sai Yo, I'm Park Chanyeol from EXO, one meter."

Gong Cheng faced the camera, held up the microphone and smiled, "I'm very happy to meet you all. We are now backstage at the KBS Song Festival, showing you what the singers look like in person."

"Please come here." Park Chanyeol invited to the camera.

The camera then followed the backs of the two and came to the side of Hwang Chi-yeul, Onew, Jung Yong-hwa, and EXOchen's Kim Jong-dae.

"Who is this? Everyone with a nice voice is here." Park Chanyeol introduced with a smile.

Gong Cheng smiled and waved to these seniors, and read out the lines from the script: "A group that heals the ears, the sweet voices of the music world~"

"Please introduce yourselves..."

Overall, it is probably to introduce to the audience in front of the camera that Hwang Chi-yeul and Onew will collaborate on a singing stage, and the same is true for Jung Yong-hwa and Kim Jong-dae. On the one hand, it is to increase the audience's expectations, and on the other hand, it is to add some interactive colors to the boring song festival.

After the interview, the show at the venue outside was also the turn of the girl groups Twice to sing "ooh-ahh" and Red Velvet's "dumb dumb".

Twenty minutes later, Gong Cheng and Park Chanyeol resumed their business, introducing their upcoming collaborative performance to the camera: "Welcome to the backstage of the KBS Music Festival. It's said that the most representative dance gods and kings of girl groups are gathered here tonight."

"Let me introduce them to you."

Behind them, Red Velvet's Kang Seulgi, GFriend's SinB, Twice's Momo, and IOI's Yujung and Chungha applauded and began introducing themselves. The five prepared for tonight's collaboration performance.

"..."

Before the five of them went on stage, Gong Cheng winked at Hirai Momo and said, "Come on, Momo-chan."

……

After the five members of momo introduced their collaborative stage, Gong Cheng and Park Chanyeol put down their microphones and went to the dressing room.

It is soon their turn to perform together, and before them is Lin Nayeon’s special stage. During the morning rehearsal, her mother was also seen at the scene, and it seems that she will also go on stage.

As they walked out of the dressing room, they were greeted by IOI's Kim Sejeong, Twice's Kim Dahyun, and another group of backstage MCs.

"The next performer to take the stage is Tarot from Bombardment Meteor and Park Chanyeol from EXO, who have prepared a collaboration performance together."

"Come let us interview them."

Kim Da-hyun smiled at the camera, and then greeted Gong Sung and the others.

"An Ning Haseyo, I'm Gong Cheng Yimi!"

"An Ning Ha Sai Yo, I'm Park Chan Yeol Yi Mi Da!"

Kim Sejeong: "I heard there are a lot of Bombardment Meteor fans at the concert tonight. Can you reveal the name of the song you two will be collaborating on?"

Gong Cheng thought about it and felt that there was no need to create suspense since he was about to go on stage, so he prepared to say the title of the song.

"Aboji~" Unexpectedly, Park Chanyeol interrupted him and said, "Keyword: Aboji!"

Kim Da-hyun had heard about this duet during rehearsal, but she still frowned in surprise, "Ah Bo Ji?"

"Isn't that what Dad meant?"

Gong Cheng thought about it and didn't refute anything: "Yes."

I spent a lot of time watching shows last night. Of the three channels in 16, MBC is just so-so. SBS is too dramatic and lacks interaction. KBS has more interaction and can weave in plot twists, so I'll mainly write about KBS and just mention the other two. Also, thank you guys for your monthly ticket support. Thank you to Jisoo's Four-Dimensional Boyfriend for the 1000-point tip, thank you to Xiao Liu for going crazy again last night for the 100-point tip, and thank you to Joneo for the 100-point tip.
