The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 152 Ji Soo, Saranghae~
With the audience seats packed, the noise inside the Seoul SK Olympic Handball Arena was like a swarm of wasps, buzzing and extremely noisy.

Kim Ji-soo picked up her phone, took a few photos of the dimly lit stage and the surging crowd behind her, and sent them to her good friend Lim Nayeon: "There are a lot of people, Huai Ting."

Gong Cheng yawned as he chatted with Park Jae-bum. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a few familiar faces in the front row, like members of another group he had met on TV before.

"How does it feel to go on tour, brother?" Gong Cheng asked Park Jae-bum out of boredom. It seemed that this brother had a personal tour in China two years ago.

Kim Ji-soo, who was playing with her phone nearby, overheard the conversation and pricked up her ears to listen. She was also a little bored. She should have called the other members along earlier. She and Gong Cheng didn't have much to talk about.

"It's great, but also tiring." Park Jae-beom thought for a moment and gave his answer. "Are you interested? Would you like to be a guest at my concert next time?"

"Anything is fine." Gong Cheng ended the topic, as the conversation felt a bit boring.

"Hey, Kim Jisoo, I heard you and Lim Nayeon were classmates in elementary school?"

He suddenly remembered what Lin Nayeon had mentioned to him, and couldn't help but turn around and ask Kim Jisoo, Seoul is really small.

"How do you know?" Kim Ji-soo nodded and put down her phone curiously. She had never talked about this with Zhao Meiyan.

"Because I'm an omniscient and omnipotent God..." Gong Cheng lay on the chair and teased, "What's that expression? That's what you have. Do I need to think about it? It must be Lin Nayeon who told me."

Kim Ji-soo's eyes were almost flying to the sky. What a shameless omniscient and omnipotent God!
Just as she was about to open her mouth to stab this shameless guy, she heard Gong Cheng quickly wave his hand and interrupt, "Alright, quiet down, Ji-soo. The concert is about to start. Don't disturb me."

"..." Jin Zhixiu glanced at the lights on the stage that were gradually lighting up, and the noisy voices in the venue also quieted down a lot. She couldn't help but turn her head and stare at Gong Cheng's face. Why is this guy so mean?

Is Zhao Meiyan blind? How could she like this bastard?

Gong Cheng was indifferent to her murderous gaze. What a joke! She was even worse than tofu.

Under the spotlights of the stage, the nine members of Twice came on stage together and first performed a song "Like OOH-AH" passionately, and then greeted the fans in the audience with a smile.

The fans in the audience responded with a wave of enthusiastic cheers. A refreshing apricot and a bright, fluorescent magenta blended in the darkness of the venue, resembling a peach. These were Twice's support colors.

Gong Cheng lowered his hat, revealing only his eyes from above his mask as he stared at the stage. He listened to Nayeon and the others' cheering colors, which represented TWICE and ONCE's eternal union, inseparable.

Park Jae-bum watched with great interest and commented, "Not bad."

"Twice is really big right now. They've been doing really well. Maybe they'll take over from Girls' Generation?"

"Who knows?" Gong Cheng shrugged, feeling rather amazed. He wasn't from a group, nor had he ever been a trainee. He had no idea whether or not a group could reach the top of K-pop, nor did he have much interest in it.

But think about it, when I first visited JYP Entertainment last year and met all nine members in Twice's huddle room, they'd just released their hit song "CHEER UP." Now, a year later, Twice has become even more popular. In the eyes of the outside world, they're carrying the banner of the third generation. Perhaps they'll be the next group to reach the top?

The members seemed to have grown up a lot, less immature? In fact, the most obvious thing that Gong Cheng saw was that everyone had lost a lot of weight.

“shy~shy~shy~”

"..."

The hysterical cheers of the onces echoed throughout the hall.

Kim Ji-soo took out the cheering stick she had prepared in advance and waved it in the air, even singing along from time to time.

"You sang well, it sounded nice." Gong Cheng smiled and poked Kim Jisoo beside him with his elbow.

"..." Kim Ji-soo's happy expression suddenly stopped, and she closed her mouth in embarrassment. Why would this person come to the concert and not listen to the singing on the stage, but listen to his own singing?
"I want to listen to it. I'll buy tickets for BLACKPINK's concert next time."

As Kim Ji-soo spoke, she pulled down her mask. The atmosphere in the venue gradually became heated, and it was a bit stuffy.

"Let's talk about it after you have your concert. Rose from your group sings very well. I'll go to support her then." Gong Cheng glanced at her and didn't seem to have much interest in the stage that was still humming.

Maybe I watched too much in the practice room?
"Park Chae-young? What bad idea are you planning? If you dare to make Mi-yeon sad, I will not forgive you." Kim Ji-soo took off the mask, revealing a beautiful face, and raised her eyebrows angrily.

"Just kidding, of course I'm going with Miyeon. I'm definitely going to support you. Aren't you two good friends?" Gong Cheng looked at Kim Jisoo's cheek. From his own perspective, it felt like a boyfriend's perspective.

"Without makeup?"

"What does it have to do with you?" When Kim Ji-soo heard this impolite question, she hurriedly put on her mask and looked at the crowd around her with some guilt. Fortunately, everyone was watching the concert seriously and did not notice her.

"Quite good looking."

Gong Cheng retracted his gaze...

Park Jae-bum listened to the conversation between the two and roughly figured out some of the emotional relationships of the youngest member.

First of all, Lim Nayeon, who's on stage, is the maknae's current girlfriend. This girlfriend also went to elementary school with BLACKPINK's Kim Jisoo. It sounds like the maknae and his ex-girlfriend, Jo Miyeon, are also dating. Plus, the maknae mentioned this when they were drinking together before, so they should be dating. And his ex-girlfriend, Jo Miyeon, is friends with BLACKPINK's Kim Jisoo...

Apparently, Kim Ji-soo didn't know that the boyfriend her elementary school classmate Lim Nayeon is currently dating on stage is actually her good friend Jo Mi-yeon's boyfriend... Oh my god! How can this be so confusing!

Park Jae-bum looked at Kim Ji-soo in disbelief. Why did he always feel that this junior was a little dangerous?
Kim Ji-soo glanced at Gong Cheng with a strange look on her face. They had known each other for such a long time, and although they had not had much interaction, this was the first time this bastard had praised her?
"Aren't you going to support?" Park Jae-bum muttered and patted Gong Cheng's shoulder, and signaled to Lin Nayeon on the stage with his eyes.

After all, she is your daughter. Instead of cheering her on in the audience, you sit here as if nothing happened and chat with other girls enthusiastically. Aren’t you a bit of an asshole?
The youngest member who makes people worry!

"Cheering is what fans should do, and lovers should do other things." Gong Cheng said softly, not daring to let Kim Ji-soo next to him hear it.

“I’m like TT~”

“Just like TT~”

"..."

The sound of "TT" resounded throughout the venue, and many excited onces screamed and sang along, shouting out the cheering slogans over and over again: "Lin Nayeon~Yu Jeongyeon~Park Jihyo~Momo-chan~Sana-chan~Mina-chan~Kim Dahyun~Son Chaeyoung~Chou Tzuyu~"

The enthusiastic emotions infected Kim Ji-soo next to her, and she also shouted twice.

Suddenly, the director cut the camera to Kim Ji-soo's face on the big screen on the stage. There were many artists from other groups coming to Twice's concert tonight. Every time the director cut the camera to their faces, there would be screams.

BLACKPINK, which won the New Monster Award when it debuted last year and took home the Best New Artist Award at the end of the year, is still quite popular in the peninsula.

"Ahhhhhhh~~~~~~"

"Kim Jisoo~"

"Jisoo~~~"

"..."

Kim Ji-soo greeted the fans in the audience with a smile on her face, but she didn't expect that the words of the boy next to her almost made her lose control of her expression.

"Jisu, I didn't expect you to be so famous that you even have your own name rights. That's impressive~"

"..."

Amid the screams, Lin Nayeon on the stage happily locked her eyes on her good friend Kim Jisoo. She grinned with her rabbit teeth and excitedly wanted to say hello.

Suddenly, I noticed a familiar figure next to Kim Ji-soo, raising his hand and waving.

Miya Makoto's face instantly appeared on the big screen. Although he was wearing a hat and a mask, many fans recognized him just by his eyes.

“Tarot!!!”

“Tarot!!!”

"Oppa! Sarangheyo~"

"..."

Next was Park Jae-bum. When he saw that the director recognized him, he took off his mask and hat and greeted the director's camera and the audience.

Tarot's cries continued to ring in my ears.

Kim Ji-soo suddenly felt the pressure of sitting next to the person beside her explode. Hearing the shouts, Gong Cheng reluctantly took off his mask, revealing a warm face beneath the brim of his hat. He smiled brightly and greeted the camera. He listened to Kim Da-hyun's singing on the stage and imitated the dance moves of Lim Nayeon and others.

He made a TT gesture under his eyelids, and the director was satisfied and cut the camera back to the stage.

Gong Cheng relaxed and sat down. He had to admit, the two front-row tickets Kim Dae-woo had gotten were really good. From this angle, he could see every single Twice member's performance.

On the stage, Lin Nayeon showed her rabbit teeth in surprise, but then she thought about how sad she had been for a while in the backstage lounge, and couldn't help but glared at Gong Cheng fiercely.

I'll settle the score with you after the concert! You've made me so sad for nothing!
Yu Jeongyeon and Park Ji-hyo walked to the edge of the stage together and greeted Gong Sung and Park Jae-bum in the audience. They were also surprised, after all, they had heard this oppa say before that he had a schedule to rush.

The little tiger's greeting was much warmer. He waved his hands vigorously with a happy look on his face.

"I didn't expect that your family relationship is so good." Kim Ji-soo said with a smile. The audience in the audience seemed to be infected by JYP's family spirit. From the major award ceremonies at the end of the year, it can be seen that the relationship between Tarot and Twice is very good.

"Family love?" Park Jae-Bum almost laughed out loud.

Ah Xi! Family love is the best!
"Don't you know? I'm the tenth member of Twice? The oldest oppa of Twice, their head patriarch..." Gong Cheng threw a bunch of titles at Kim Jisoo's head.

"..."

"Lin Nayeon~"

After chatting with Kim Ji-soo for a while, the performance on the stage continued. Gong Cheng waved his hands and shouted, imitating the Onces to support his daughter.

Park Jae-bum nodded, and the youngest member finally looked like a man.

Their front row seat was close to the stage, and Lin Nayeon, wearing a headset, heard the annoying voice immediately. She danced with a happy smile, glancing at the man cheering for her in the audience. Next to him, her best friend Kim Jisoo was also cheering for her. It was great to have both her best friend and her man by her side.
"Mina-chan~" Gong Cheng excitedly called Ming Jingnan's name again.

How should I put it, it feels pretty good!
He's kind of addicted.
"Sun Chaeyoung~"

"Sana-chan~"

"Tzuyu~"

"Momo-chan~"

"..."

"Saranghee~Kim Dahyun!!!"

Kim Da-hyun, who was hiding behind Chou Tzu-yu, almost fell to the ground. She stared at Gong Cheng in the audience with a fake smile and said, "Oppa, could you please leave your saranghae to Chae-young?"
"Did you hear that? Oppa said 'Saranghee' to you~" Son Chaeyoung hugged Kim Dahyun on the stage, rubbed her head and said with a smile.

"Mina-chan~Saran~"

"Sana-chan~Saranghei~"

"..."

"You really are a philanthropist..." Jin Zhixiu's face trembled as she listened to Gong Cheng's cheers: "Aren't you afraid of another scandal?"

"Scandal? Isn't that how all fans cheer for their fans?" Gong Cheng spread his hands, glanced at the crazy Once fans behind him, then turned around and smiled at Kim Jisoo: "Jisoo, saran hey~"

Park Jae-Bum raised his eyebrows pretending to be nonchalant.
When Jin Zhixiu heard what Gong Cheng said, she looked at him sideways in some surprise. Her eyes, which were filled with smiles, seemed to be very serious, but her cheeks, which were known as the face of a goddess, seemed to be indifferent.

"Would you take it seriously?"

Gong Cheng shrugged and looked away: "Only a brainless person would take it seriously."

"Instead of worrying about my scandals, Jisoo, you should worry about yourself."

As he spoke, Gong Cheng raised his hand and waved at the director's camera, while on the big screen, Kim Ji-soo was staring at Gong Cheng's handsome profile.

Jin Zhixiu quickly tried to control her expression. After the director's camera left, she said angrily, "You liar, you liar!"

"Is there such a handsome liar?" Gong Cheng pouted and jokingly said nonchalantly. Jin Zhixiu, why are you blushing?
After that, he cheered at the top of his lungs for a moment. Twice's performance ended, and the interactive segment began. The nine members tacitly walked over to the front row and the fans below the stage, high-fiving each other.

When it was Gong Cheng's turn, Lin Nayeon immediately separated from Gong Cheng's palm to avoid suspicion.

Miya Makoto squeezed Minatozaki Sana's hand, let go, and hooked Mingjing Nan's palm, which attracted a cold look and a blush.

Looks good~
Gong Cheng likes to see the blushing and flustered expressions of beautiful girls,

"Come on, Tzuyu! You did a great job! Oppa thinks you were the best in today's performance!"

Gong Cheng looked at Zhou Ziyu who was so close to him, clenched his fists, and laughed as if to cheer her up.

"Snapped!"

Kim Da-hyun slapped him fiercely with a force that was frightening.

"..."

The Twice members walked around the hallway, interacting with many of the Once members present, high-fiving and giving small gifts...

Amidst the screams of the Once members, the members returned to the stage. On the big screen, a VCR of their debut so far appeared. In the eyes of the Once members, it looked a bit tear-jerking.

The members looked back at their experiences along the way and couldn't help but shed tears.

Park Jae-bum watched the screen with a deep empathy. On Peninsula, the journey from trainee to debut is incredibly difficult. With the training grading exams and monthly reviews, the practice room buzzes with people, some eliminated and others moving on to the next level. Once they've passed all the required talent tests, there's still a agonizing wait before a new debut project is announced. While debut is the end for trainees, it's merely the beginning for artists.

Kim Ji-soo's feelings about this are even more profound. The predecessor of BLACKPINK, to now...

"Let's go, brother." Gong Cheng thought the concert was almost over, so he might as well go backstage. He couldn't help but wonder about the documentary-like video on the screen. Was it because the songs weren't enough, so he had to fill in the gaps with memories?

He was also quite moved by the once-destroying VCRs. It seemed like everyone was getting better and better. That was pretty good.

"Where are you going? Aren't you going to wait until the concert is over?" Park Jae-bum asked in confusion.

"Let's go backstage, bro." Gong Cheng put on his baseball cap to hide his smiling face, then turned to Kim Jisoo and asked, "Want to come with us? Since you're here, you should say hello to Nayeon, right?"

"You're calling me so affectionate, Nayeon." Kim Ji-soo curled her lips, feeling a little jealous for her friend Cho Mi-yeon. Without further ado, she pulled on her mask, picked up her bag, and followed Gong Cheng backstage.

The secondary screen on the stage showed the scene of three people leaving.

"Intimate? Jisoo, even if I call you, I'm intimate too." Gong Cheng walked behind Park Jae-bum with his hands in his pockets, grinning at Kim Jisoo beside him, showing his big white teeth: "Or, Xiuxiu?"

"That sounds pretty good. This is what we call intimacy, Xiuxiu."

"Ah! Are you crazy?" Jin Zhixiu was so angry that she kicked Gong Cheng, but he dodged it nimbly. The boy next to him, with his hands in his pockets, kept shouting in a mean way: "Xiu Xiu, Xiu Xiu~"

Park Jae-bum walked backstage as if he didn't see anything. The shamelessness of this youngest member once again refreshed his cognition.

Arriving at the backstage hall of the concert, Gong Cheng took off his mask and greeted Twice's manager with a smile: "Nuna, you look so good and beautiful again. I feel that Nuna is also a member of Twice. She should be performing on the stage, not slacking off in the backstage lounge."

“kkk~”

"It's really Xiaocheng! You only know how to make girls happy." Twice's female manager, Park Eun-hee smiled while covering her mouth, shook her neat short hair, and took out a glass of orange juice that had been ordered earlier from behind her.

Twice's management team also knows a lot about the personal habits and food tastes of the tenth member of Twice.

Kim Ji-soo curled her lips. This guy relied on this mouth to coax Zhao Meiyan, that pabo, into his arms, right?
The three of them arrived at Twice's lounge, but there was no one inside, so they each found a seat and sat down. After a while, the lounge door was opened, and a staff member handed a bouquet of flowers to Gong Cheng.

Gong Cheng nodded and said to Super Park Jae Bum, who was holding a bouquet of roses and chuckling, "Brother, something more vulgar is coming."

When Jin Zhixiu saw the bouquet of roses, her eyelids twitched. What was this person trying to do? Even if you have a good relationship with your colleagues in the same company, you can't just give one bouquet of flowers, right?

Or, is it just for one person?

Ah Xi Ba! Kim Ji-soo felt that the fire in her belly was about to be suppressed! Zhao Meiyan, you are such a pabo!
