The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 139 Golden Disc Awards, Number 1
On January 9, on the set of "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo", during the filming of the finale, Jung Joon Hyung, played by Gong Sung, kissed Kim Bok Joo, played by Lee Sung Kyung, under the falling snow, and then she hooked her wrist around Gong Sung's shoulder.

"Click~"

As the winter snow fell in Seoul, filming for "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo" officially wrapped. After receiving a bouquet from director Oh Hyun-jong and writer Yang Hee-seung, the cast and crew gathered for dinner that evening.

"Nuna, are you controlling your diet and regaining your figure recently?" At the table, Gong Cheng took a sip of wine and looked at her with a chuckle. With her long hair and gradually slim figure, she was no longer Kim Bok Joo, but Lee Sung Kyung.

"Yeah, the company has been taking on a lot of schedules lately, and I'm going to a new production soon." Lee Sung-kyung blinked her amber eyes and smiled. "But you, 'Goblin' is really a hit, and the Golden Disc Seoul Music Awards are coming up in a couple of days. Are you confident?"

“The word of faith…”

Li Jingjing looked at his hesitant words and was a little surprised. It was the first time she saw this young man so humble.

"Nuna, you should always keep an eye on the 'YDP' album I gave you. It's still appreciating in value!" Gong Cheng put down his wine glass and smiled brightly. Thinking about the year-end awards ceremony in the near future, he wondered what it would be like.
But it is undeniable and beyond doubt that the time of harvest is coming.

"..." Lee Sung Kyung curled her lips. She had misjudged him! She had thought that this younger man had learned to be restrained and modest after nearly a year since his debut, but she didn't expect him to still be so arrogant.

Then, she pulled out the YDP album from her bag and said, "I'll be waiting for it. By the way, if you release a new album, remember to send it to me."

"..."

At 1 a.m., Lee Sung-kyung and Gong Sung left the table together.

Gong Cheng is determined to help this Nuna manage her body shape, and Lee Sung Kyung also wants to witness the powerful range of the 'Seoul Cannon' again.

……

The next day, Peninsula Entertainment Tabloid circulated a blurry photo with an eye-catching headline.

[Seoul artillery bombards Lee Sung-kyung]

[Gong Cheng & Lee Sung Kyung's fake play becomes real]

【…】

In the photo taken by the paparazzi while squatting, two blurry figures walked into the carriage shoulder to shoulder. From the photo alone, only the general outline of their body shape could be seen, and the specific facial features were completely unclear.

"How long have you been using the Gong Cheng & Lee Sung Kyung title? Idiot marketing account, if you replaced Lee Sung Kyung with Lim Yoona it would still be a hit."

"With this picture quality, you say Park Jin-young and Lim Yoon-a are both good... no one cares..."

"One glance is fake!"

"Qiuqiu, why not change blogger? Lee Sung Kyung is outdated, okay? Now other media outlets are posting about Oppa and Bae Joohyun."

"..."

Park Jin Young sat in his office, looking at the trending searches on the web page about Gong Sung. They were either about his new drama "Goblin" or the scandals about this brat.

It's been less than a year since his debut, and he has already been rumored to have had affairs with so many female artists?

He was now extremely thankful that he had listened to Gong Cheng's advice and not portrayed this kid as a pure and innocent nobleman. It turned out that this kid knew exactly what kind of person he was, and he had been giving himself a shot of defense!
Therefore, ever since the incident between Gong Cheng and his ex-girlfriend Zhao Meiyan was exposed, the company's marketing strategy for him has been to follow the fans' words and fan the flames.

Just like the most popular saying from Akanah right now, "Oppa himself is a ruin, why is the house collapsing?" Behind this is the company's hype and instigation.

After all, there have been artists in the Kpop circle whose personalities have collapsed, such as a certain innocent little puppy.

At the same time, Park Jin Young also found that some small groups of Gong Cheng's fans were very interesting. Not only did they shout that the fan base was a ruin, they were actually looking forward to who would be the next person to have a scandal with their oppa?

There are also people in a certain forum commenting and rating the current popular female artists.

"Bae Joo-hyun, your head is short and your legs are short, and you are older. Deduct 1 point for each, making a total of 7 points."

"Lin Yuna, you are old and your acting is poor, deduct 1 point each, 8 points in total."

"Bae Suzy, she's said to be the nation's first love. As a woman, I feel she's very scheming. 0 points."

"IU Lee Ji-eun, her short stature makes it easy for her hands to slip, which might affect Oppa, but if she can slip out a photo of Oppa in bed, I'll give her 100 points."

"Lin Nayeon, no one above can compare to her, 1 point for encouragement."

"..."

"To sum up, why is there no one in the entire K-pop world who is worthy of my oppa? I'm drunk!"

"Yes, good sisters, there's a trainee in SM who can easily beat the above just by looking at his looks..."

Park Jin-young looked at the statement made by the person with the ID "Execution Department Dragon" with a strange expression. When did SM have such an exaggerated trainee? Why hadn't he heard of it?
Hearing the knock on the door, Jin Dae-woo walked into the office.

Park Jin-young raised his head and asked, "Xiao Cheng, you are not dating now, right?"

He didn't feel any ripples in his heart about Gong Cheng's scandals, because this kid had too many scandals and he was used to it.

But if you have a father you're dating, that's another story.

"No." Jin Dayu said firmly. He had asked Gong Cheng about this not long ago, and this was the boy's answer.

"You should pay more attention. If there is..." Park Jin Young sighed, his expression somewhat helpless: "Then there is."

"But we have to report it to the company in advance, so that if it is really exposed later, the company can make some preparations in advance."

According to JYP company's regulations for artists, they are not allowed to date within five years of debut. However, this rule cannot restrain these young handsome men and beautiful women at all. Not only him, but all major brokerage companies are aware of this.

That's why he changed the five-year dating ban to three years in recent years. Regardless of whether the artists will comply with it or not, it can at least restrict the thoughts of a group of artists. But Gong Cheng has no idea what to do.

It cannot be restricted. Even if this guy concentrates on his work, with his face and current popularity, there are countless female artists in the circle who will rush to throw themselves into his arms and want to get in touch with him.

Park Jin-young has no good solution for this. He can only hope that this guy, like his fans Akanas said, will cause trouble for other artists...

……

On January 11, the final episode of "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo" was aired on MBC and ended successfully.

In JYP's recording studio, all members of Bombardment Meteor and Twice's Son Chaeyoung are recording the audio of "VVS".

"Brother, move a little wilder." Gong Cheng was supervising the progress of the song. When he saw Lin Yingxiong's restrained movements in the recording studio, he smiled and joked.

"No, let Zai Fan teach you. He's quite arrogant."

Lin Yingxiong spread his hands helplessly and looked at Park Jae-bum. According to Gong Cheng, the overall rhythm and drum beats of the song "VVS" are relatively strong. He can't just stand there like a wooden stake after going on the stage, right?
Silly!
"Chaeyoung, ok, the recording was good, this is the one."

After listening to Little Tiger's recording, Gong Cheng took off his headphones and rubbed her head. It was unexpectedly good. Her voice and singing style were quite compatible with this multi-person hip-hop song.

Zhang Yixing glanced at the intimate actions between the youngest member and the Twice member, and always felt that the relationship between the two was not simple.

Then, he checked his phone and asked the members who had just finished recording, "Jackson has booked a private room. When will he be there?"

"6." Gong Cheng curled his lips speechlessly. Jackson always managed to book a private room in the Gangnam club and wait for everyone to come over when the Bombardment Meteor members gathered.

A real nightclub celebrity, he always feels that since he met this guy, he is either on a schedule or in a club in Gangnam.

Sun Caiying frowned, and she leaned close to Gong Cheng's ear and whispered a threat, "Don't go, Oppa."

"I bought the white silk you mentioned..."

Gong Cheng glanced at Little Tiger in confusion. He hadn't wanted to go in the first place, had he? He was underestimating her, wasn't he? White silk wasn't as important as drinking.
"Brother Lay, go ahead, I have a schedule tonight..."

……

On January 13, the 31st Golden Disc Awards, hosted by JTBC PLUS and Nikkan Sports, was held as scheduled at the KINTEX International Exhibition Center in Ilsan, Gyeonggi Province.

The Golden Disc Awards are also divided into two award ceremonies. On January 13, the music category awards ceremony will be hosted by Jung Yong-hwa, Seohyun, and Hwang Chi-yeul, while the record category awards ceremony on January 14 will be hosted by Sung Si-kyung and Kang So-ra.

At 2:30 p.m., the Golden Disc Red Carpet Show began, and JTBC and JTBC2 TV stations broadcast it live simultaneously.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

“Tarot!!!!”

"Bombardment Meteor"

"..."

Amidst the screams of the crowd, the four members of Bombardment Meteor stepped out of the van and walked onto the red carpet in their neatly tailored suits. As they walked backstage, Gong Cheng saw many senior figures in the music industry, as well as some specially invited award presenters, who were either big names in the music industry or actors.

"Senior Taeyeon, nice to see you again." Gong Cheng greeted Kim Taeyeon who was present with a smile. The two chatted briefly and then visited many seniors.

Originally, Bombardment Meteor only had to attend the record department's awards ceremony tomorrow, because if nothing unexpected happened, according to various statistics, the grand prize in the music department should be won by Twice's "Cheer Up".

Although "Fake Love," the title song from Bombardment Meteor's debut album "Fireworks are eternal," has a strong sound, the judging period for this year's awards was from November 1, 2015, to November 30, 2016, while "Fireworks are eternal" was released on October 25, 2016. Only data from one month was captured, so it naturally cannot compare to "Cheer Up," which ran for a whole year.

However, in the list of nominees released at the Golden Disc Awards on December 5, "Fake Love" was still nominated for the music category's music prize, and the album "Fireworks are eternal" was nominated for the record category's album prize.

To win the Grand Prize of a Golden Disc, one usually needs to win the Main Prize first before being able to compete for the Grand Prize.

As for the Grand Prize, Bombardment Meteor and the others believe that just one month's worth of music and data is not enough to win the Music Grand Prize, but they still have a good chance of winning the Main Prize.

However, they didn't feel it was a pity, as their main purpose of coming this time was to attend the record awards ceremony tomorrow.

"Brother, if we really win this award, wouldn't it be embarrassing to go on stage to receive it?" Sitting in the lounge, Gong Cheng thought of another nominated award with a tense expression.

In this Golden Disc Award, not only were Bombardment Meteor's singles and albums nominated for major awards, but the group itself was also nominated for Best New Artist.

Other groups and singers competing for this award include BLACKPINK, which was just launched by YG this year, SM's NCT 127, IOI, etc.

"What is there to be embarrassed about for us? It's Jaebeom and Lay who are embarrassed." Lin Yingxiong laughed twice and joked. To be honest, in terms of debut time, he debuted a month later than Gong Cheng.

Park Jae-Bum and Zhang Yixing, these two, one debuted in 08 and the other debuted in 12...

Park Jae-Bum glared at Gong Cheng and the other man unhappily, turned his head away and said nothing. It was the first time he hoped not to win the award.

"Hey, Lay, tomorrow is Kai's birthday, right?" Gong Cheng suddenly remembered this and leaned over to Zhang Yixing and asked, "Ah Xi, really, we still have to prepare a birthday present."

"Gift? When did you become so close to Kai? Aren't you only close to your cannon line in xo?" Zhang Yixing put down his phone with curiosity on his face, but when he thought of the cannon line that was circulating in the circle, he couldn't help laughing.

In response to Zhang Yixing's joke, Gong Cheng shrugged, "Kai and I aren't that close, but aren't you close to him, Lay? You guys from EXO didn't attend the Music Awards today. Are you heading for tomorrow's Record Awards?"

"Do you think that based on our Bombardment Meteor's album sales and other statistics, EXO has a good chance of winning the grand prize this year?"

"Is there anyone else thinking of winning the big prize for Kai to celebrate his birthday?"

Zhang Yixing slapped his forehead, suddenly coming to his senses. He had been feeling fortunate that his two biggest competitors for this year's Album Awards were both from his own group, so no matter who won, he would have a share.

In the lounge, the other three people laughed teasingly, but Zhang Yixing was the only one who couldn't laugh.

Gong Cheng messed with Zhang Yixing's mentality and glanced at him.

You were the one who tipped off Bae Joo-hyun and said that she was narrow-minded, right?
……

The award ceremony officially began at five o'clock in the afternoon.

Several members of Bombardment Meteor sat in the guest seats, near the front. At the beginning of the show, the director's camera frequently cut to Gong Cheng's face on the big screen.

This caused a burst of screams from the audience. At first, Gong Cheng was still smiling, but later he couldn't help but feel annoyed! Is he using himself to gain buffs?
On the left side of Bombardment Meteor sat Twice, and the seats a few seats away from them were all acquaintances.

Bae Suzy, Kim Taeyeon, BLACKPINK, and the GFriend members who I met backstage at the KBS Music Festival last time.

Bae Suzy sat behind Gong Cheng. She smiled and greeted Twice, her juniors from the company, at the next table, and then glanced meaningfully at Ming Jingnan.

Ming Jingnan received her gaze and naturally knew what she meant. His face turned red and he turned his head away.

Gong Cheng felt like laughing as he watched the Twice members tense up. The Golden Disc Award was considered one of the more equitable of Peninsula's major awards. As early as December, when the nominees were announced, many curious fans had compiled the data.

Twice's "Cheer Up" undoubtedly ranks first in all aspects of music data and is the strongest contender for the Music Awards.

On stage, after CNBLUE won the Best K-pop Band Award this year, they performed the title song of their new album this year.

The program flow of the Golden Disc Awards, except for specially invited guest performers, is usually that the winners perform on stage after receiving their awards.

As CNBLUE's stage ended, Jung Yong-hwa and Seohyun, who were in charge of hosting the music department, stood on the stage with microphones, smiling and ready to unveil this year's Best Newcomer Award.

After hearing that the Best Newcomer Award was about to be announced, Park Jae-bum fidgeted and pursed his lips.

“BLACKPINK!!!”

Jung Yong-hwa announced the winner of the Best Newcomer Award with a smile on his face.

The four members of BLACKPINK quickly stood up, and under the director's camera, they all covered their mouths with expressions of disbelief. Then they were moved, saluted, and then walked onto the stage to receive the award.

Xu Xian followed closely and looked at the award card in her hand, then smiled at the camera.

"And Bombardment Meteor!!!"

When the director's camera cut to the faces of the four people in the guest seats, the crowd of tens of thousands of people suddenly erupted in heart-wrenching shouts of support.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The four members of BLACKPINK paused as they walked on the stage. Apart from the last time they bumped into these brothers behind them on a music show, this was the first time they felt the popularity of Bombardment Meteor so directly.

"Tarot, sarangheyo~"

"Bombardment Meteor! gogogo!!!"

"TTTTTTTTTTTTTTarot!!"

Amidst the screams and cheers of tens of thousands of people, Park Jae-bum bravely waved to the camera, and then the four of them stood up and went on stage to receive their awards. We're all here for the Grand Prize! What the hell is a Newcomer Award?

However, under Gong Cheng's smiling gaze, Park Jae-Bum and Zhang Yixing quickly adjusted their mentality, went on stage and stood with the other four members of BLACKPINK to receive the golden trophy.

"An Ning Haseyo, we are BLACKPINK... We are very happy to receive the Best New Artist award... Thank you..."

Gong Cheng looked at Park Jae-bum jokingly, wondering what this guy would say next in his acceptance speech?
After nearly ten years of debut, he is still a newcomer after his return?
"An Ning Ha Sai Yo, we are Bombardment Meteor!"

"..."

Gong Cheng chuckled and waved the trophy in his hand to the audience, and gave some acceptance speeches. It was a Best Newcomer award, so there wasn't much to say.

However, in his eyes, the nine members of Twice in the guest seats were clapping and giving him thumbs up.

Finally, under the cheers and gazes of the audience, Gong Cheng's face flashed with a brilliant smile on the big screen, and his smiling eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Tarot! Tarot! Tarot!"

"Oppa~Sarangheyo~"

"Don't worry, Lao Gong! Arcana will always be with you."

"Bombardment Meteor!!!!"

"The Silver Sea is rampant, escorting sincerity~"

"Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, loyalty!!!"

"Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, loyalty!!!"

Gong Cheng stood under the spotlight, looking at the crowds in the audience, who were cheering and screaming one after another, and the cheering boards with colorful light strips, on which were written all kinds of cheering words, about him personally and about the group, waving vigorously in the air.

He smiled brightly and loosened his tie, then raised his hand and made the number '1' gesture in the sky.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!"

As Gong Cheng moved on the big screen, the fans present and many artists who followed Gong Cheng all knew what his raised gesture meant.

Just like when Bombardment Meteor first stepped onto the stage to promote his music, the boy on the stage updated '1' '2' '3' on Instagram... Each number represented a trophy.

Kim Jisoo from BLACKPINK listened to the noise from the audience, glanced up at her friend's ex-boyfriend, and was so crazy!

If she remembered correctly, this guy had won so many first place awards by stepping on BLACKPINK, right? Back then, he'd been arrogantly and confidently updating his Instagram account on how many first place awards he'd won.

"Oppa, isn't he so handsome?"

As the scene reached another climax of screams, Son Chae-young covered her mouth and whispered excitedly to Chou Tzu-yu and Kim Da-hyun beside her.
