The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 162 The Kpop King is about to ascend the throne
""Congratulations"&Tarot..."

"31 people."

In the early morning hours of Seoul, inside a prominent media company, the editor in charge of tracking and recording Tarot stared intently at the computer screen through his reflective glasses.

"Great! Editor-in-chief! No. 31." He swallowed nervously, scrolled the mouse wheel with his finger, and then continued to search for Tarot's name on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

"31st? Did you read that right?" The middle-aged man leaning against his desk, the editor-in-chief of the media outlet, leaned forward in front of the screen, excited to see Tarot's stage name right next to the song "Congratulations" in the upper mid-range of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

After confirming everything, he glanced at the artist at the top of the page, Kendrick Lamar, the hip-hop superstar, who was ranked 19th. For them, being on the Billboard Hot 100 was as easy as pie. Even for this superstar, ranking 19th was a bit low.

But Tarot is different for the Peninsula and Asia.

It entered the chart in its first week and ranked 31st. If we ignore the record of the highest ranking, Tarot is now the first K-pop artist to have a song enter the Billboard Hot 100 chart in its first week of release. Psy, who was very popular in the past two years, entered the chart with "Gangnam Style" in its third week, ranking 64th in the first week. It was not until the third week that he created the best result of a K-pop pop song on the chart, ranking 2nd.

"What about the other three songs?" The editor waved his fist. Although he had been paid to write news that discredited the most popular singer in the peninsula, the fact that he had entered the B chart was exciting no matter how you looked at it.

“Found it! Options is ranked 85th!”

"Big! Another song on the charts!"

The editor pumped his fist, then rubbed his chin awkwardly. Their original draft had been titled "Tarot's US exam results are disastrous..." So why were they cheering him on?

Fortunately, the editor-in-chief made two preparations. The title of the other half of the manuscript was "Tarot, the K-pop emperor is about to ascend the throne..."

"Where's 'Rockstar'?" The editor, surprised, suddenly calmed down. He gazed hesitantly at the chart at the bottom of the webpage. Of the four songs in Tarot's first half, "Rockstar" and "Wild Flower" were the most highly praised by many critics. He understood why "Wild Flower" didn't make the charts; it was Korean, after all.

What about "Rockstar", which many people have high hopes for?

"That's all." The editor pushed the frame. "Do you want me to look at it again?"

"Ding-ling-ling~" A rapid phone ring made the dull atmosphere in the office even more tense.

"Hello, President." The editor-in-chief answered the phone and greeted respectfully, but before he could finish his greeting...

"Fuck! You bastard, do you still want to do this?! Why haven't you reported the news of Tarot's great success in the US yet?! Fuck! You're a bunch of useless people..."

"Boss, we are still collecting data." The editor-in-chief argued with his neck stiff, his face flushed red from being scolded.

"Statistics? Ah Xi! I'm so impressed! Is this your first day working in the media?"

"Do we even need to count the fact that Rockstar debuted at number 9 in its first week? Ah! Bastard!"

"Airborne No. 9?" The editor-in-chief looked at the editor beside him in disbelief, and then his face turned ugly.

The editor felt the piercing gaze, a layer of sweat suddenly breaking out on his forehead, and he quickly scrolled the mouse wheel upwards. He had never thought that Tarot could make it into the top ten!

So he subconsciously ignored the first ten lines...

……

【The Kpop King is about to ascend the throne! 】

[The Pride of the Great Cold Netherworld & Tarot! ]

【Hip-hop superstar, rising! 】

【"Rockstar" global hot list! 】

[K-pop's shooting star shines across the world! A true world superstar! K-pop will soon welcome its first world superstar!]

【Kpop Spokesperson & Tarot! 】

"Our reporter Yu Wenbo reports that Tarot's first full-length album, 'Wheel of Fortune&X,' has reportedly released three songs from the first half of its album, which have already charted on the Billboard Hot 100, setting a new record for a K-pop artist in the first week. 'Rockstar' debuted at number 9 in its first week, reaching number one on both Spotify's US and global charts, and number one on Apple Music's overall chart, achieving an astonishing 25 million views worldwide! 'Congratulations' reached number 31, and 'Options' reached number 85, both of which are the most Billboard Hot 100 chart-entries by a single album or single in the history of the artist. What's most exciting for the public is that, currently, Tarot's first full-length album has only released four songs, and the album hasn't even been officially released yet..."

"Tarot, maybe this year, we'll have our own number one single..."

With overwhelming popularity, Tarot delivered a perfect answer to the American market. After comparing various data in the media, people in the Peninsula and even Asia have more concretely witnessed the terrifying heat wave of Tarot's half album.

"I'm in Australia, searching for Tarot..."

"Kkk~ Sister, I'm studying abroad in New York, and Rockstar is so popular..."

"Wow, Oppa! Japan, Thailand, Australia, France... sixteen countries, the most searched artist on social media these days, Tarot..."

"..."

"Ah! Don't get it on your face!"

At night, Gong Cheng didn't have time to pay attention to the rankings on the B-list or the outside world's public opinion. He was well aware of the nature of the Peninsula media. When you're popular, they praise you, calling you a world superstar. But if you're not popular, then you're doomed, a mere scumbag.

Lin Nayeon quickly ran to the bathroom to wash up, and after a minute or two, she got back into bed and hugged Gong Cheng's dog waist.

"You stinking scoundrel, how can you be so bad..."

She buried her head in Gong Cheng's chest, her body burning hot. The scene just now was so embarrassing.

There are so many varieties.

Gong Cheng smiled and hugged the soft body of the rabbit idol, which was very smooth and hot: "Salanghei~"

"Hehe~Saranghei~" Lin Nayeon raised her head, grinned with her rabbit teeth, and responded.

"No!" Gong Cheng reached out and held down the rabbit-toothed girl's head, rejecting her request for a kiss. Even though those red and tender lips were so attractive, kissing was not allowed at this moment!
"I brushed my teeth!" Lin Nayeon glared at him angrily, then punched him in anger: "Why do you still despise yourself?"

As she said that, she turned over and rode on Gong Cheng like a spoiled child, raised her freshly washed face and pressed against him.

"Not even my face!" Gong Cheng resisted and pulled up the quilt to block the attack of the rabbit idol.

"Hehe! I want to kiss you! I want to rub against you! Who told you to do all these bad things and yet you still look down on me!" Lin Nayeon pinched his neck in dissatisfaction, and laughed while making a fuss with Gong Cheng.

However, soon, Gong Cheng turned over and pressed her under him.

Lin Nayeon looked at the boy with a dazed look in her eyes and said, "Kiss me~"

"I do not!"

"Oh! I really brushed my teeth! There is no such smell. If you don't believe me, smell it! It smells so good! Strawberry-flavored toothpaste..." Lin Nayeon shook her head, then opened her mouth and blew twice towards Gong Cheng, as if to prove something.

"Then I won't kiss you either...it always feels weird..."

"Ah! Are you dying! Gong Cheng! My words are useless, right? Kiss or not?" Lin Nayeon pushed the man on her body in a rage. It was obviously you who insisted on doing it, and now you are still dissatisfied?

She said this with a feeling of grievance. This stinky hooligan is really bad!
"Call me dad, dear~"

……

The next day, the news that Gong Cheng's new album song "Rockstar" debuted at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 caused a sensation in the peninsula.

Park Jin-young came to Gong Cheng's composing studio with a bright face and met his most promising child.

What gossip? What black material?

Is that a big deal? Setting aside the question of whether those rumors were true or not, even if they were, what would it matter? With the song landing at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100, even if Tarot and Lim Yoona were to have a passionate romance right now, he wouldn't object.

An artist! Young!

Is it even possible that Yoona is not worthy of her own world-class superstar?

Of course, it's still too early to call them world superstars. A song that debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 isn't much of a deal for true superstars. But for Gong Cheng, JYP, and Bandao, these future superstars have taken their first steps into the US.

This move was extremely beautiful and shocking.

"Brother Jinyoung, why didn't you go to the practice room to practice dancing today?" Gong Cheng took off his headphones, looked at Park Jinyoung with a rosy face, and joked with a smile.

This guy has been singing and dancing for his family concert lately, but the specific date for the concert has not yet been decided.

"The family concert is not as important as your sudden debut at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100." Park Jin Young sat on the sofa with a smile. He believed that as long as Gong Cheng could maintain his current momentum, it would only be a matter of time before he became a true world superstar.

"Rockstar", the song that debuted at No. 9 on the B chart, has a strong staying power. It is only the first week's result now, so it can be said that the effect of the sound source has not yet fully exploded. By next week or half a month later, the ranking of this song may be raised to a higher level.

If we compare Gong Cheng's song with YG and Psy's "Gangnam Style" from two years ago, then there is no doubt that Gong Cheng's "Rockstar" has a stronger melody and musicality than "Gangnam Style", and it is even as addictive.

However, "Gangnam Style" only made it into the B chart three weeks after its release, at 64th place, and subsequently reached as high as 2nd place. So, with the performance of "Rockstar" in its first week and its strong momentum, it has a better prospect than "Gangnam Style" no matter how you look at it!
"Yes." Gong Cheng nodded with a smile, "But I think the family concert is more important, and the company's new building and dormitory are the top priorities, brother."

He knew that "Rockstar" had suddenly landed at number nine on the B chart last night when he was having sex with the rabbit idol.

The rabbit-toothed mother celebrated for a while, hugged him and started chewing him! But rabbit teeth also have their advantages, they are very good when scratched.

Arriving at the office this morning, Gong Cheng browsed through a lot of posts on Twitter and Instagram. He had a clearer understanding of the popularity of the song "Rockstar." Many vloggers online were using the song's audio as the background music for their videos.

It is equivalent to promoting this song from several angles.

If the song's staying power could be stronger and last longer like it, Gong Cheng believes that his first solo album might really produce his first number one single.

"The company is already making arrangements for the new building and dormitories." Park Jin-young looked around at the trophies displayed in the composing room. He couldn't help but feel a little excited. When 2017 is over, how much will this child in front of him gain?

"The family concert has been confirmed for June, and the specific date is still under discussion."

Listening to Park Jin Young's words, Gong Cheng glanced at him with suspicion. To be honest, Park Jin Young's efficiency... maybe it will take until next year or the year after next before he can start making arrangements and actually wait until the day when the building is moved?

"How are the songs in the second half of the album going?" Park Jin Young felt a little uneasy at his suspicious look and abruptly changed the subject.

"We've produced three songs so far, and there's about 3-4 more to go." Gong Cheng shrugged and talked about the work progress. He then reminded, "Brother, in the preview of the second half, you can briefly reveal the song "Still with You". After all, it's a song written for the fans, and it's always good to give them some anticipation."

"Where's the comeback trailer for Bombardment Meteor?" As Bombardment Meteor's personnel expanded, Park Jin-young and the company couldn't help but gradually pay more attention to this initially limited group.

Putting aside the limitations, with the addition of three new members, Bombardment Meteor is bound to be the next group to reach the top. In Park Jin-young's plan, Bombardment Meteor will be one of the foundations for Gong Cheng's American expansion, firmly controlling the fan base in the Asian market.

Even if Gong Cheng encounters any problems in the United States in the future, he can still rely on the existence of Bombardment Meteor to make up for it.

"The 14th, brother. It's exactly the day after 'Running Man' airs a new episode of recording." Gong Cheng said after thinking for a while. He believed that if he used the information revealed on 'Running Man' and then continued with the group's announcement, the popularity would explode.

After saying that, Gong Cheng gradually relaxed his frown and thought about his next plans and arrangements. Both personal and group, they were full.

Being too popular is not a good thing!
Park Jin-young took in his frowning expression and sighed, "Xiao Cheng, do you want to take a break after you finish working on Bombardment Meteor's comeback?"

This brat in front of me seems to have had very little time off since his debut, constantly busy running around between the crew and the company. While he may not be as active as Twice or GOT7, being on screen as an actor or winning year-end awards as a producer is no easy feat.

"Of course I'm resting!" Gong Cheng reclined in his chair, calculating the time. After Bombardment Meteor's return, the date might be June or July?

He was still thinking about the two plane tickets that Pabo gave to Zhao Meiyan that night, flying to Hokkaido.

Going there in the summer is also a good choice. Summer hot springs? Bikinis?
"June or July then, brother."

"June or July?" Park Jin Young nodded and was about to agree, but suddenly waved his hand and said, "June is not possible. We still have a family concert, and your vacation is only 5-10 days at most, not a month. You're on the rise right now, so disappearing for too long is absolutely not an option."

"Family concert? Brother, tell me the truth, how many songs have you prepared? Should I go over and cheer for you?"

"The fans are all here to see you, little brat! How can you not be present at the family concert?" Park Jin Young smiled guiltily. Among all the artists under JYP, the most popular ones are Gong Sung and Twice.

"..."

While the two were chatting, Park Jin Young walked behind Gong Cheng.

After seeing the lyrics for Gong Cheng's latest song on the computer screen, he asked in surprise, "New song?"

"Yes, I guess so. This is an arrangement I made before, and I'm adding lyrics to it this time, so it can be included in the album." Gong Cheng handed over the headphones at hand. He thought this arrangement was quite magical and very suitable for the feeling of summer.

When Park Jin-young was not here, he was already writing the lyrics for this song, but it was only half finished and not completely finished.

"Any Song?"

"Yes, any song." Gong Cheng said the song title, "Would you like to listen to it?"

Park Jin-young put on his headphones and turned the accompaniment sound source to the initial setting.

The prelude of the arrangement started with strong and rhythmic percussion music, which instantly caught Park Jin-young's ears. He couldn't help but gently shake his face, which was comparable to 'Leonardo'.

The interaction between the kick drum and the snare drum creates a cheerful and jumping feeling, which is very catchy.

"Why are you all so depressed~"

"What went wrong? Tell me something~"

"..."

"Is this a trend these days~"

"Why is everyone so boring~"

Park Jin-young hummed the lyrics, raised his broad shoulders, and snapped his fingers like he was pinching an orchid. His muscular body swayed to the rhythm.

"Play a random song first~"

"Anything is fine~ Let's have a good song~"

"Dancing casually~"

Gong Cheng's face twitched, feeling like his swivel chair was about to be broken by this guy. However, when he saw Park Jin-young's ridiculous movements, he couldn't help but laugh out loud with satisfaction. On the one hand, it was because the guy's current appearance was indeed somewhat funny, and on the other hand, the arrangement and lyrics of this song were exactly what he had in mind, which could bring people a cheerful and light-hearted feeling that would make them dance on the spot.

"Play a random song first~"

"Whatever~ How~ It's so boring~"

"..."

"How's it going, Jinyoung? Not bad, huh?" Gong Cheng asked with a chuckle after seeing Park Jinyoung take off his headphones. This guy is quite professional in arranging music, so it wouldn't hurt to ask for more advice.

"It's very exciting. I want to dance when I hear the prelude. The rhythm arrangement is very dance-driven." Park Jin Young seemed to be still immersed in the arrangement in his headphones. As he spoke, his head shook rhythmically.

"In terms of melody, it combines elements of pop, R&B and hip-hop. The atmosphere and lyrics of the song are relatively light-hearted and humorous." Gong Cheng said his thoughts with a smile. After the lyrics are completely completed, he also plans to find a professional dance teacher in the company to create a simpler dance that is easier to spread.

At that time, we can incorporate the dance into the MV for performance, I believe it will be very good.

Park Jin-young approved of Gong Cheng's idea and then offered a few suggestions: "..."

Another hit song is expected to be sold out, this is his real thought.

Why don't other producers who graduated from the Composition Department of Yonsei University have the production level of this brat in front of me?

Park Jin-young couldn't help but ask, "How did you write this song? No matter which artist wrote it, it would be a hit song..."

He was really curious. If this song happened to another artist, it would be enough to support him for a lifetime.

"How did you write that?" Gong Cheng gave him a surprised look. "Isn't the inspiration obvious?"

“Isn’t it in the lyrics?”

He pointed to a line of lyrics on the screen and hummed softly, "How about playing a random song first? It's too boring anyway~"

Park Jin Young frowned in confusion. It's no wonder that the atmosphere of the song was instantly elevated to a higher level as soon as this kid's singing came out.

"I was just a little bored, so I released another hit single." Gong Cheng had no doubt that this song would become a hit. The simple, catchy rhythm and the resulting addictiveness—this Korean song was designed to be a hit. "It's that simple."

After explaining, he shrugged nonchalantly.

"..."

Park Jin Young stared at him, speechless for a moment.

……

"Nuna, do you want to take pictures even when you go to the bathroom?"

In the afternoon, Gong Cheng stood at the bathroom door on the floor above the company's composing studio, speechlessly staring at the female VJ Park Jin-young had sent behind him. He could understand the company wanting to film more footage. But there was no need to film everything, right? They filmed him eating, working, and even during his lunch break in the composing studio!
"Of course not, I'll wait for you here."

The female VJ held the camera and said with a chuckle, glancing at Gong Cheng's straight long legs without revealing anything.

She wanted to film the Seoul Cannon...

After coming out of the bathroom, Gong Cheng returned to the composition room and finished writing the lyrics for "Any Song." He then grabbed his coat, checked the location sent by Park Jae-fan, and asked Che Qianhao to take him to a Western restaurant.

In the restaurant, Park Jae-bum sat opposite a short-haired girl. The only thing they had in common was their arms covered in tattoos.

Gong Cheng and Park Jae-Bum sat together, and Park Jae-Bum introduced the girl next to him: "Maknae, this is Jin Ya, you can just call her Joyce."

"Joyce, this is..."

Before he finished his introduction, short-haired Joyce said with a smile, "Tarot."

With Park Jae-Bum acting as a middleman, Gong Cheng and Joyce quickly became familiar with each other.

Gong Cheng had always remembered that he had asked Park Jae-fan to introduce a tattoo artist. The drawing of the group he brought out at the club last time was drawn by Joyce in front of him. He had been getting a new tattoo in Joyce's tattoo shop these past two days.

Thinking that I had some time today, I asked Gong Cheng and Joyce to come out together so that they could meet and introduce themselves.

……

On March 10, public opinion from outside became increasingly intense.

Gong Cheng stood on the floor of JYP, gazing at the media and reporters gathered by the floor-to-ceiling windows. He felt the world was changing too fast. Just a year ago, the banners below had been large, red, with a boycott message.

I don't know if it's because he's mean, but he's kind of uncomfortable without the black fans yelling at him.

【Tarot! A controversial artist! 】

[Tarot meeting with tattoo artist, suspected tattoo]

[Rockstar is a global hit, topping the music charts in many countries]

Who can be more popular than Tarot?

"Shit! JYP won't let my family skip the promotions?"

"Oppa, do you want a tattoo?"

"Hats speaking! Looking forward to next week's Billboard Hot 100 update!"

"Kpop, tremble! Tarot is about to ascend the throne..."

"..."

Gong Cheng sat on the sofa, looking at the ID of the last comment, clicked on the avatar and took a look. It turned out to be a fan of Japan, so childish... The panel of the homepage was full of his own pictures, accompanied by some extremely embarrassing and passionate words.

【The most ferocious tiger of the empire! 】

【The Empire's Destruction Dragon! 】

【The king of kpop! 】

【…】

Quite cute!
……

At the same time, under this wave of popularity that swept K-pop, JYP took advantage of the opportunity to update the preview poster for the second half of Gong Cheng's first regular album.

The poster firmly occupies the front page of JYP's official website, and with its strong visual impact, it catches the attention of every viewer.

In the foreground of the poster, a butterfly, its wings shimmering like a dream, appears. Colorful sunlight pours down unreservedly, refracting precisely on the butterfly's slightly trembling wings. The wings, shimmering with scales and powder, open slightly and land squarely between Gong Cheng's eyebrows, creating the visual effect of a pair of wings covering Gong Cheng's gentle brows.

Against the backdrop of the butterfly and the sunlight, his chiseled jaw and high nose bridge were even more handsome and charming. His brows, already radiating warmth, were now gently covered by the butterfly's wings, a warmth that was intensified. His deep eyes, half-disappearing in the interweaving light and shadow of the butterfly's wings, seemed to conceal endless colors and warm sunshine.

At the bottom of the teaser poster, JYP also posted: [The second half of Tarot's first full-length album "Wheel of Fortune&X" will bring a song exclusively for all the fans who have always supported Tarot... Stay tuned]

"Wow! This is the first time I've seen so many colors in Oppa's preview photos? Usually they're so depressing!"

"This style is really cool! Keep it up, JYP!"

"Ashi! I really can't wait. Please, Oppa, please release the album soon! Fill me up!"

"Bad review! No nude photos this time!"

"A song for us? Is it for the fans?"

"So what's the concept for the second half? But just thinking about Oppa writing songs for his fans makes me happy! I have to buy this album!"

"..."

3 month 12 day.

Gong Cheng is busy going between the composing studio, Gangnam club and the hotel.

Recently, his dates with the bunny idols have often involved staying in hotel rooms with king-size beds. With Nayeon joining the Best Female Parents team, Gong Cheng feels the need to change dormitories is becoming increasingly urgent, so he's been complaining to Kim Dae-woo about the company's rapid changes in buildings and dormitories.

What if one day I'm in the mood for some handcuffs with my secret girlfriend, Little Tiger, and my bunny idol comes to my dorm? Should I accept him or not?
What's more, there is also that pabo Zhao Meiyan.

"How about we go to the hotel?" Gong Cheng looked around Zhao Meiyan's house with a guilty conscience. Although this pabo is from Incheon, his parents have been working in Seoul in recent years and have bought a house here.

"The hotel is unsanitary, Oppa~" It was the first time that Zhao Meiyan saw Gong Cheng look so unconfident. His eyes were almost narrowed by his smile. "Besides, I didn't promise you to do anything..."

Gong Cheng sat uneasily on the sofa in Zhao Meiyan's house.

What if I run into this pabo's parents? This kind of thing has happened before. Back then, when I was at my own home and was caught by my adoptive mother, it was still a bit embarrassing when I thought about it now.

"Don't worry, Oppa. Dad's on a business trip, and Mom won't be back until late tonight." Zhao Meiyan rested her head on Gong Cheng's shoulder, soothing his nervousness with a smile. She wasn't afraid of her parents seeing Gong Cheng.

Even if they saw it, what would it matter? Haven’t Oppa’s adoptive parents also seen me?
Hearing what Zhao Meiyan said, Gong Cheng's heart calmed down a lot. After all, wasn't the process of meeting the parents moving a little too fast?
"By the way, on the 24th, are you free, Pabo?"

Gong Cheng suddenly remembered what his adoptive father had told him and asked.

"Oppa's birthday?" Zhao Meiyan has a good memory, especially important days, which she always remembers very clearly.

"Yes, come home with me for dinner." Gong Cheng nodded, picked up an apple from the fruit bowl on the table, took a bite, and found it quite crisp. "Family dinner."

"Ah! Family dinner? Then wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to go, Oppa?" Zhao Meiyan pouted and asked tentatively with some hesitation.

As she spoke, she quietly raised her eyelids and looked at Gong Cheng who was chewing an apple beside her.

"Forget it, I'll find someone else." Gong Cheng curled his lips speechlessly. His mouth was almost stretched to the sky, so wasn't it a bit bad?
"Ah! No!"

"So are you going or not? It's not like we haven't had dinner together before."

Gong Cheng grinned and pinched her cheeks, taking a sip.

"Of course I'll go! If I don't go, who will? Humph!" Zhao Meiyan said, and raised her foot that was on the sofa and kicked Gong Cheng in annoyance.

Then, as if she remembered something, she hurriedly stood up, pulled up her slippers, and grabbed Gong Cheng's arm, "Let's go, Oppa."

"What's wrong? Is your mother back?"

Gong Cheng stood up in confusion, but he didn't hear any knock on the door.

"no!"

Zhao Meiyan took his hand and walked all the way to her bedroom, then opened the wardrobe. "Oppa, what do you think will look good on me when I go to meet my uncle and aunt?"

"Help me pick one!"

She blinked her gentle eyes and pouted coquettishly.

"Pabo~" Gong Cheng originally wanted to refuse. It was just a meal, and he could just wear some casual clothes. It wasn't like he was going to a cocktail party where he needed all kinds of high-end clothes to save face.

But after seeing the white lace bra hanging on the shelf in the closet, he pointed and said, "Pabo, white suits you very well~"

"Ah! Turn around! Don't look!"

Zhao Meiyan followed his gaze and immediately slammed the wardrobe door shut with a blush on her face.

……

An hour later, in Zhao Meiyan's bedroom, the mattress was still quite soft and comfortable, and the shock-absorbing effect was also good.

……

On March 13th, the sun was shining brightly in Seoul.

After school, the first thing Cao Xiyu did when she entered the house was to throw away her schoolbag and go to the TV.

In Oppa's fan club, she heard many sisters say that Oppa participated in the recording of "Running Man" last week and the broadcast date is today.

She really loves and hates that oppa who appears and disappears mysteriously and is obviously extremely popular but does not do much business.

She loves him for being so handsome and talented. Her husband's musical achievements give her confidence. But she hates the fact that she rarely sees him on TV.

All I watch every day are two dramas, "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo" and "Goblin: The Lonely and Great God", which I have watched countless times, as well as some small cards and videos.

Putting aside the two hit TV series, some small and obscure groups that have just debuted have to take on much more responsibility than I do when appearing on variety shows or various music performance stages.

"what a pity!"

"All three members of Bombardment Meteor are here, only Lay is missing."

Cao Xiyu arrived just in time. As soon as she turned on the TV, "Running Man" began its broadcast. However, looking at the screen, Bombardment Meteor, who was missing a Lay to truly reunite, couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

When she thought about the contract renewal issue of Bombardment Meteor members again, she thought that maybe SM's Lee Soo Man was behind it and blocked Lay's contract, which made her even more angry.

"Click~"

She tore open a bag of potato chips and chewed them viciously.

But when she saw the face appearing on the big screen, Cao Xiyu could no longer get angry.

In the footage, Gong Cheng and the other two members of Bombardment Meteor were chatting and greeting each other cordially with the show's resident MC, which made her look cheerful. Especially during Gong Cheng's appearance, the post-editing section was filled with titles like "popular male actor, popular male singer, Bombardment Meteor's youngest member, Peninsula hip-hop superstar, talented composer, and stunning face..."

She felt her heart surge with emotion after watching it. She didn't think it was exaggerated at all, and even thought that it was not enough.

After a while, the girl's mother came home from get off work and brought Cao Xiyu a plate of fried rice cakes.

"Tarot? Doesn't he often appear on variety shows?" The mother, who was about to take a shower, stopped and subconsciously sat on the sofa, asking her precious daughter beside her.

"Yeah, oppa rarely appears on variety shows." Cao Xiyu replied while staring at the screen and grinning.

"He's a really big artist right now. I heard his new album has set some incredible records."

"Yes, Mom! Oppa is amazing. I'll tell you more later. It's Oppa's turn now!" Cao Xiyu didn't have time to explain to her mother what the Billboard Hot 100 chart was...

On the screen, Cao Xiyu saw the waitress in the cafe playing the song "Wild Flower" from Gong Cheng's new album: "She wouldn't have failed to recognize Oppa, right?"

"If it's Arcana, wouldn't that be a shame? Sigh..."

After confirming that the waitress was a member of Arcana, Cao Xiyu couldn't help but put herself in the waitress's perspective and empathized with her. If it were her, she would definitely recognize her own member at the first sight.

"Maybe it's Gong Cheng oppa?"

During the show, the waitress's hesitant voice was heard.

"Did you recognize him?" Cao Xiyu moved her neck closer to the TV with some excitement.

Her mother couldn't help but be interested as she watched the scene on TV. After all, before the show started, the director had told the audience through post-editing that this show wanted to record the two-way reactions of fans meeting their idols.

Moreover, Cao Xiyu's mother believes that how an artist treats his fans can reflect the artist's personal quality and cultivation.

"Woohoo~ This sister is so lucky! Oppa is so warm." Cao Xiyu looked at Gong Cheng on the screen who was signing autographs for fans, and her heart was filled with emotion as if she was rowing a boat.

"Kim Sun-ni, I'll remember you. You must work hard and live seriously..." Gong Cheng's face was covered with a warm smile as he appeared in front of the camera. Then, he kindly told the waitress that she didn't need to work so hard just to buy his album...

"Oh mom, give me money~ I want to buy oppa's new album." Cao Xiyu looked at the scene on the screen with a bit of suffocation, she couldn't stand it anymore!

Is she too pampered to her fans? Is this sister too lucky?
"Didn't Tarot say that you don't have to work so hard to buy his album? Isn't it hard for mom to work and make money?" Cao Xiyu's mother rubbed her baby daughter's head with a smile. There are not many artists who can say such words nowadays.

Most artists still treat their fans as cash cows...

"I'll just buy one for my mom~" Cao Xiyu hugged her mother's shoulders coquettishly. Such a good oppa, why not support her more? What are you waiting for?

"Okay, I'll give you the money later. When the album comes out, buy two more copies and bring one for me too."

"Yeah! Mom, you are the best!" Cao Xiyu jumped excitedly, then turned her head to look at the screen.

Next is the shot of Lee Kwang Soo with the giraffe, don’t watch it!

When the camera angle was cut to Gong Cheng and Song Ji Hyo again, Cao Xiyu and her mother found that the camera angle was a bit thin and there were not as many camera angles as before.

Gong Cheng sat on the lazy sofa with his tall figure, basking in the sun. The wooden guitar in his arms was covered with small cards about him.

"What a great picture! Oh my god! Did you see it? So handsome, Oppa. I must find a screenshot of this video and use it as my wallpaper later!" Cao Xiyu cheered and shook her legs while sitting cross-legged.

"I'm very sad that I didn't accompany oppa from the beginning of his debut. I always feel guilty. I have many regrets for not going there..." The voice of Cha Xianya, a fan of Gong Cheng, was heard on the show.

In the VJ's close-up, her face looked a little gloomy when she said this, as if she really cared about this matter. As the camera shook, in the eyes of the audience, this room of only about 20 square meters was filled with Tarot posters, small cards, and albums.

Gong Cheng lay in the sun, holding a wooden guitar, plucking the strings with his slender fingers, and sang the song "Shower" that the girl wanted to hear.

"It sounds so nice." Che Xianya in the picture got what she wanted but her eyes were red.

"Wow, it turns out what a sister in the group said was true. I really shed tears of happiness when I see Oppa." Cao Xiyu remembered what a sister shared in the group chat last week, and now she feels that she agrees very much.

At the same time, what Cha Xianya said on the screen just now also stung her a little. She also got into the fandom relatively late, and she always felt regretful for not being able to support Tarot when Oppa first debuted.

She didn't know why she had such an idea, but she just thought so.

"I'm so sad, Mom." Thinking of this, Cao Xiyu couldn't help but hug her mother tightly, "Why didn't I support Oppa before he debuted? I always feel like I missed a part of my life..."

Cao Xiyu's mother reached out and patted her baby daughter on the back. Just as she was about to say something to comfort her, she heard Gong Cheng's warm voice coming from the screen.

"Don't feel sad or regretful for not being with me from the beginning. The moment you fell in love with me was the day I debuted for you." In the camera, Gong Cheng's bright smile was sincere and warm. The soft sunlight made his smiling face even warmer.

"Wow~ Wow~"

At that moment, two cries rang out simultaneously, one on the TV screen and the other in front of the screen...

……

At night, many people on Peninsula TV who were watching the national variety show "Running Man" couldn't help but burst into tears after hearing Gong Cheng's heartfelt confession. When the show cut to Song Ji Hyo and Gong Cheng chatting on the street.

"Bombardment Meteor renewed his contract?"

In response to Song Ji Hyo's question, Gong Cheng on the screen nodded.

Heart-wrenching screams and explosions rang out from residential buildings on many streets in Seoul...
