The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 141 Do you want to compete?

January 15, Mapo District, Seoul.

Zhao Meiyan, Tian Xiaojuan and Song Yuqi were sitting in a coffee shop not far from the company.

Both of them were new friends she made at CUBE Entertainment. They were both trainees and about the same age, so they naturally got along well.

"Great! Bombardment Meteor!" Tian Xiaojuan looked down at the trending searches on her phone. The entire peninsula was once again caught in the bombing effect brought by Bombardment Meteor.

"Melon Awards, Golden Disc Awards, Mama Awards... Bombardment Meteor and Twice swept every major award this year!" Tian Xiaojuan was surprised to remember that the Seoul Music Awards was just two days away, the final major award of 2016. "As for the Music Awards, Bombardment Meteor should still win Best Album, and Twice will win Best Song of the Year."

"As for the grand prize, it seems like it's still a competition between EXO and Bombardment Meteor..."

Following Tian Xiaojuan's analysis, Zhao Meiyan looked at the snowflakes outside the window and smiled peacefully. The final winner of the grand prize must be her own oppa!
No need to think about it?

The music playing in the cafe seemed to confirm her thoughts. The prelude of "Spring Day" connected to the previous song "Falling Flowers".

"I miss you~"

"After I said it, I missed you even more~"

"..."

Gong Cheng's soothing voice reached the ears of every customer in the coffee shop. Throughout the winter of 2016, it seemed that the only sound was Tarot's voice.

"By the way, Miyeon unni, are you still in touch with Tarot senior after you broke up?" Song Yuqi scratched her head and asked gossipingly while biting the straw.

As the most popular singer in the Peninsula at present, Tarot's influence is not only in the Peninsula, but also in Asia and China. With his appearance, nationality advantage, and the release of a solo album and a group album, he is extremely popular in China.

Especially for this senior, with the huge hit of "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo" and "Goblin: The Lonely and Great God", he has set off a huge craze in China. Many of his fans hope that he can come to China for more activities, hold meet-and-great meetings and autograph sessions, etc.

With the daily broadcast of the drama "Goblin", the trench coats and suits of all major Armani counters in China are almost sold out just based on the outfits of this senior in the drama.

Zhao Meiyan's sweet smile froze. After meeting Song Yuqi, she could hardly count how many times she had asked herself this question in the practice room, the restaurant, and other places.

"No." Zhao Meiyan lowered her head and took a sip of coffee. She also wanted to tell the two friends in front of her loudly, of course we are in touch! He will celebrate my birthday in a few days!
But she's not Pabo, so how could she just tell anyone about something like that? Although she had a good relationship with the two friends in front of her, they hadn't known each other for very long. If something was private and only concerned her, she would of course share it with her friends.

The problem is, this matter involves the high-spirited boy in the spotlight, so she has to be cautious, cautious, and cautious again.

"Alas~ What a pity." Song Yuqi drooped her brows and sighed. Every time she asked this sister, she always gave the same answer. It was boring.

Then, she put on a smile again and asked with a grin, "Unnie, can you tell me how you two met? What was Tarot like before he became famous?"

She was extremely curious about the Chinese senior who had achieved such great success on the Korean Peninsula alone. She had experienced firsthand how unpopular green card holders were on the Korean Peninsula.

Zhao Meiyan pouted and looked at Song Yuqi's little face with a helpless look.

This should be said, right?

Then, she excitedly wanted to speak, but when she was about to say something, her eyes suddenly became a little dim. It seemed that there was no hero saving the beauty, no romantic plot?

Zhao Meiyan didn't know how to start. Tian Xiaojuan also put down her phone and looked at her with a gossipy expression. She didn't urge her. She and Song Yuqi were like puppies standing side by side, with their ears pricked up, ready to listen quietly.

"When I first met him..."

As Zhao Meiyan spoke, she recalled every detail of her acquaintance with Gong Cheng. When she saw the poster of Gong Cheng hanging in the cafe, her eyes sparkled.

Suddenly I felt that the oppa in my memory was somewhat out of tune with the bright eyes and eyebrows on the poster.

In fact, he was not so high-spirited at that time. In her opinion, Oppa at that time was a little self-indulgent... There was nothing but loneliness and sadness in his eyes.

But he has a very bad personality and loves to bully himself!
……

2016, the year of JYP!

【Twice & Bombardment Meteor swept all the awards! 】

【2017，在1月13和1月14连续举办两天的金唱片大赏上，Bombardment Meteor与twice各自包揽音源部门与唱片部门大赏！】

【Armani is selling out! 】

[Goblin's latest ratings hit a new high, securing the best drama of the year! ]

What's the future of Bombardment Meteor? Four agencies jointly announced they will announce the members' departures and stays after the Seoul Music Awards!

Bombardment Meteor is about to disband!

[K-pop has welcomed a new international superstar! Tarot!]

Tarot & Irene's latest photo released! Their sweet romance may be coming true!

[Photo of the three major artillery pieces in Seoul together! ]

Following Bombardment Meteor's sweep of the music industry, Peninsula Entertainment's major entertainment sections have also been bombarded with tarot news! Trending searches are swirling around their latest developments, career, scandals, endorsements, and more...

"Ahh! Stop being ridiculous! What international superstar? Tarot! Wait until Bombardment Meteor disbands, and then let Tarot release a solo album and see success before you say that! It would be ridiculous if the sales of the group after disbanding were worse than their debut album! No wonder their album is so popular!"

"Support! Damn it! Bombardment Meteor, disband now!"

"Shit! Disband you? Disband you! I'm going to kill you, you two bastards upstairs!"

"Oppa, always walk on the path of flowers! Tarot, fly with confidence, the Arcanas will always be with you!"

"Ah! Seoul Cannon not only has long legs, but also a long positive attitude! Sausage sausage!"

"Is this really the JYP year? When will the family concert be held? I can't wait!"

“When will Tarot release a new song?”

"Go, go, go! Book your spot at the Seoul Music Awards Bombardment Meteor!"

"Hahjima, don't disband!"

"We need more! Wow, I'm so moved every time I see this sentence! Let's keep going together, Bombardment Meteor!"

"..."

A long line formed in front of an Armani store in Cheonghong-dong, Gangnam District, beneath the snow. Since the premiere of "Goblin," the streets of Seoul have seen a surge in men carrying umbrellas and wearing long trench coats.

Gong Cheng can understand that you follow the trend and wear a long trench coat, but isn’t it a bit exaggerated to hold an umbrella when it snows?
"Haha, it's not just this one, all the Armani counters in Seoul have been packed these days." Jin Dae-woo smiled and flicked the ash out the window while biting his cigarette.

He thought he looked incredibly handsome, biting his cigarette under the winter snow! After all, he was the manager of the boy with the same aesthetic as the other boys on the peninsula, so he had to stand up straight and look even more handsome!
After receiving his salary last month, he asked a friend to buy him a trench coat at the Armani counter.

"Ah! Brother, why are you wearing a windbreaker too?" Gong Cheng couldn't bear to look at the agent sitting in the driver's seat. He was so showy!

If you're going to buy something, why not buy a short one? You're so thick and short, and you're wearing a long one? Are you sweeping the snow with your hem? How kind!

"Isn't it handsome?" Jin Dae-woo turned around and tightened the buttons on his chest that were a little loose. He still felt good about himself. After all, he attracted a lot of attention in the company.

"..." Gong Cheng stared at him in silence for a while. He didn't know where this guy learned his mysterious confidence from. "Looks cool! But don't spend money on it next time. Once the endorsement deal is finalized, I'll give you a few sets, brother."

"Besides, you're my manager! A casual sweatshirt or something like that would be fine..."

"Why are you making it look like a peacock spreading its feathers?"

"Ah Xi! Really! You don't understand the pressure I'm under!" Jin Daewoo was so angry that his mouth was almost twisted. Who did he dress up like this for? It was for this brat in front of him.

After a moment of depression, he remembered his duties as an agent and pointed at the crowd outside the window, smiling, "The Armani endorsement deal is probably coming to a close soon. 'Goblin' is a huge hit not only in Japan but also in your country, stimulating purchases at many Armani stores. I heard the brand conducted a customer survey, and 80% of purchases since Goblin premiered are due to you."

"Also, because of Armani's skyrocketing sales, many other brands have set their sights on you. I guess they'll be approaching you soon."

"I understand." Gong Cheng nodded. Once the Armani endorsement deal was finalized, he expected other brands to follow suit. Given his nationality, if he had been boycotted by mainland China when he debuted last year, endorsement deals would have been impossible. But as long as he was popular enough, with that invisible and intangible rule in mainland China, he would have an advantage over other artists in mainland China.

"Let's go back to the company, brother."

……

On January 18, IOI officially released the farewell commemorative single "Shower".

As soon as the song's audio was released, the comments section was filled with a chorus of reactions. While many IOI fans lamented the group's impending disbandment, a large contingent of Bombardment Meteor fans flooded the comments section, lamenting the group's uncertain fate.

"Hahjima~ Don't disband~" "In 2016, two shooting stars streaked across the skies of the male and female music scene, respectively. Now IOI is facing disbandment, but what will be the fate of the even brighter and more dazzling Bombardment Meteor?"

"Bombardment Meteor, please don't disband~wuwuwu~"

"Oppa even sang this song on his music show~"

"..."

……

At 6 pm on January 19th, the Seoul Music Awards officially began at the Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Songpa District, Seoul.

Two white nanny cars stopped at the entrance of the red carpet. As the host introduced outside the car window: "Next is Twice..."

Nine figures got out of the car one after another, while Gong Cheng sat in the nanny car at the back, looking at the Twice members all wearing short skirts and long white legs, and couldn't help but smack his lips.

"Aren't you cold?"

Lin Nayeon, who had just gotten off the car, shrank back due to the cold. She put the purple coat in her hand into her agent's hand, and then followed nine people onto the red carpet to greet the reporters, cameras, and fans on the scene.

"Really? This little dog Minato is not obedient at all." Gong Cheng looked at Minatozaki Sana who was walking at the end. She was wearing a white off-the-shoulder top, a black short skirt and a pair of black high heels. She didn't even bother to wear stockings.

Don't you know how to keep warm? I clearly warned her.

"An Ning Haseyo, we are twice one meter apart!"

Following the greetings of the nine members of Twice on the red carpet, at the suggestion of the host of the red carpet, Sana Minatozaki took the microphone and performed the most popular segment of "CHEER UP" in the first half of the year, "shyshyshy~"

"Okay, stop looking! It's our turn!"

Park Jae-bum patted the shoulder of the youngest member in the car in annoyance. What’s the matter? Do you really think of yourself as the tenth member of Twice?
"Next up! The limited-edition group that will light up the Peninsula music scene like a dazzling firework in 2016!"

"In the winter of 2016, there was only one voice!"

“That’s it!!!”

"Bombardment Meteor!!!"

Accompanied by the male host's deep introduction voice, the four members of Bombardment Meteor got out of the car one by one, with Park Jae-bum and Zhang Yixing walking side by side at the front.

Gong Cheng and Lin Yingxiong walked side by side at the back of the team because of their height.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

"Bombardment Meteor!!!"

"..."

The shrill cheers and screams instantly drowned out the click of the flashbulbs.

The makeup and styling of the four members of Bombardment Meteor today was suggested by Park Jae-bum. He believes that winning the grand prize today is a sure thing.

So he encouraged the members and asked the hairstylist Nuna to give everyone a slicked-back hairstyle.

Gong Cheng didn't mind, not to mention slicked-back hair or a bald head. Furthermore, tonight's special performances, whether it was the rocking version of "Fake Love" or the "VVS" stage, required some wild and uninhibited makeup, so the hairstylist even dyed his hair a silver-gray color.

But what he didn't understand was why Park Jae-bum was wearing sunglasses so late at night! Although it was only a little after six o'clock, it was already almost dark in Seoul.

"Kacha kacha~"

On the red carpet, the four members of Bombardment Meteor stood in front of the Seoul Music Awards stand, swayed a few times, and let the cameras in the audience shoot non-stop.

Gong Cheng stood on the red carpet and waved at the camera. His silver-gray hair was combed back, revealing a smooth, full forehead, free of the tangled hair. His eyes, which had once appeared gentle to the public, now flashed with a frivolous and cold smile.

"An Ning Ha Sai Yo, we are Bombardment Meteor Yimi Da!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

"What a handsome face!!!" After seeing Gong Cheng's hairstyle tonight, many fanatical female fans wanted to rush up and be slapped hard by the boys on the red carpet.

The best position is on Nanai and Bibi.

At the host's suggestion, the four members of Bombardment Meteor faced the camera, chuckled, and shouted the words that made all the Arcanas ecstatic.

“We Need More!”

"..."

……

Arriving backstage at the Seoul Grand Prix, Twice kept greeting the seniors passing by in the hall.

When Minatozaki Sana saw Gong Cheng walking into the venue, she came over, with a twinkle in her puppy eyes: "So handsome!"

"Sana-chan, are you talking about me?" Gong Cheng looked around pretending to be confused, but there was no one else!

"Oppa, are you okay?" Minatozaki Sana rolled her eyes at him. Then she realized that the accessories on this bad guy were all gifts given to him by the members on his birthday.

If I remember correctly, it was probably a necklace from Mina and a bracelet from Tzuyu, right? And the earrings sparkling with diamonds on their earlobes seem to have been worn for a long time.

The only thing is the pair of sunglasses I gave to you, which are no longer needed now that the weather is cold.

"What are you looking at?" Gong Cheng looked at Cou Xiaogou in confusion, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Didn't the company prepare any accessories for you?" Sana Minatozaki asked curiously. That shouldn't be the case. Companies usually have dedicated makeup artists to take care of the artists' makeup and clothing.

As she spoke, she pointed to the earring on Gong Cheng's left ear. It was decorated with a silver-white sun pattern with diamonds. Around the main earring, there were ripples of lines, just like the heat waves of the sun.

"Yes, but I don't really need it." Gong Cheng touched the earring beside his ear as a matter of course. "As for this one, it was given to me by a friend. I like it very much, so I wear it often."

"Look, the necklace that Mina gave me and the bracelet that Tzuyu gave me are also like that. Gifts are only meaningful if you wear them often."

Miya Makoto chuckled and pointed at the Möbius strip around Sana Minatozaki's neck: "Just like this."

The company did provide him with a lot of accessories for every performance and stage performance, including the YT jewelry advertisement shot last year. Since that advertisement last year boosted the sales of their new season products, although Gong Cheng refused their endorsement, the new models of each season would still be delivered to him as soon as possible.

"I understand." Minatozaki Sana nodded seriously, but she was thinking in her heart whether she should buy him some accessories?

"Sana, good evening." Jin Dae-woo ran in from the back door of the venue holding Gong Cheng's coat.

He had just parked his car, and Gong Cheng had been following Zhang Yixing and his team's manager into the venue. Next to him was Park Jae-bum's manager.

"Good evening, Dayu oppa." Minatozaki Sana greeted with a smile.

Gong Cheng took his coat from Jin Daewoo and put it on Minatozaki Sana's shivering shoulders: "The ceremony is about to begin, let's go to the lounge and rest for a while."

As he spoke, he, Kim Dae-woo, and Park Jae-bum's agent pushed open the Bombardment Meteor lounge and walked in.

……

At 7:30 in the evening, the award ceremony officially began. The hosts of tonight's grand prize were Kim Heechul, Tak Jae-hoon, and IOI's Jeon Somi.

Bombardment Meteor sat in the guest seats in the audience, and the closest seats to them were EXO and Twice.

As the director's camera cut to the round tables of different groups, the many fans in the audience screamed in varying degrees, and waved all kinds of cheering signs in the dim audience seats.

The camera flashed across Wu Sehun's face, and the fans in the audience immediately started to cheer loudly. Wu Sehun, who was covering his mouth and chatting with Gong Cheng, raised his eyebrows at Gong Cheng proudly when he saw himself on the screen and heard the deafening cheers.

"..." Gong Cheng curled his lips speechlessly, what a pretentious guy.

"Want to compete?" Wu Sehun whispered, then put down his hands and greeted the camera with a smile.

The director seemed to have heard the bet between the two. The camera showed Gong Cheng's unruly eyebrows, new hair color and style, and unrestrained and ostentatious smile, as if he was about to break through the constraints of the screen.

“Ah ...

Gong Cheng chuckled and turned his head: "Sehun, have you ever heard of a tsunami?"
