Chapter 172 topped the album charts, "Tarot Effect"
On April 2, while all major entertainment sections were immersed in the shocking moment of the birth of the masterpiece album, the first-day album sales data that countless Akanas had been eagerly awaiting was finally released. When a string of Arabic characters were combined together, the whole of Asia instantly went wild, causing an uproar.
[Tarot’s first-day sales broke through the cold winter of physical publications, creating a sales legend!!!]

[The folk song world of Dahan Netherland has since entered the era of Tarot!]
The first official Tarot album "Wheel of Fortune&X" sold 270 million copies on its first day, breaking the shadow of the sluggish physical album market!
From "YDP" to "Wheel of Fortune&X," from the bottom to the top, Tarot's first-day sales of 270 million yuan proclaimed...
[World Superstar Tarot, global first day sales, 2765287 copies, set a record in one fell swoop! ! ! ]
[Chinese singer Tarot's "Wheel of Fortune&X" has ignited the enthusiasm of many fans since its release...]
It's been reported that in an era of generally declining physical album sales, the impact of digital music and the advent of the streaming era have plunged the global music market into a slump. While many artists' physical album sales have slumped, a rising star, Chinese singer Tarot (Gong Cheng), has single-handedly changed the situation. His debut full-length album, "Wheel of Fortune&X," sold 270 million copies on its first day, approaching 280 million, single-handedly boosting the physical album market. This achievement not only far exceeded everyone's expectations, but also forged a path forward amidst the continued decline in physical album sales. He has proven that, even in the streaming age, excellent music, combined with a captivating personal image, can still inspire fans to purchase physical albums...
[Entertainment News: Tarot's new album "Wheel of Fortune & X" has surpassed 100 million streams in just 37 minutes (throwing congratulations), breaking IU and GD's record for the fastest solo album to reach one million streams since we've kept data...]
"Shit! Is this really something a K-pop singer can achieve? First-day sales rounded up to 300 million copies..."
"Ah Xi! Forget Asia! How many singers in the world can boast 270 million sales on their first day? I've looked at the statistics from the major charts, and there's almost no inflated data. All of it is real money..."
"Tarot, I'm an anti-hero, so heartbroken! I don't know why it's been so smeared... 270 million sales, and the domestic market accounts for two-fifths, the rest is all from China and Japan, and then there's the sales in Europe and the US... I can't criticize it anymore, I'm a die-hard fan! Oh my! The Great Cold Netherland has truly produced a world-famous superstar!"
"What the hell! Big Donkey 13! Have some shame? The guy above! How did he become a superstar among you little bastards? Tarot is Chinese, okay?"
"No, Tarot is from the Great Cold Netherworld!"
"Miyakoden is a person from Asia."
"NONONO, Tarot belongs to the world."
"What the hell are you! You little bastards!"
"Oh my god! I can't believe it, Tarot is only 21 years old this year? And this is his first full-length album..."
"..."
In Twice's practice room, Yu Jeongyeon and several others sat in a circle on the floor of the practice room. The six of them stared blankly at the neon line on the sofa not far away and the oppa who was on the hot search in major entertainment sections.
"This is too unreal..." Park Ji-hyo shook her head and looked at the first-day sales data of Gong Cheng's "Wheel of Fortune&X" on her phone. Although PDnim had revealed some sales data when they were having dinner with PDnim last night, and even though they were shocked at the time, they were still shocked to the point of being unable to describe it after the news was released.
"Yeah, 2.7 million first-day sales, I can't even imagine the initial sales..." Yu Jeongyeon looked at the oppa who was learning Japanese slang from her group's Japanese line, and for a moment she didn't know what to say to congratulate him. This guy's album sales are equivalent to the sales of all his group's albums in the two years since their debut, right?
Shouldn't this oppa be here to comfort us? Besides, for an album release, besides first-day sales figures, the best period for sales growth is the initial launch, which is the first week of the album's release.
It's only been a day since the album was released, and it's already sold 270 million copies? But she couldn't even imagine the final sales figures for the initial release... Even if this oppa only sold 20 copies a day during the initial release week, the total initial release sales, including the first-day sales, would be 400 million copies, right? Besides, selling 20 copies a day is really impossible. With this kind of popularity and his fan base, he's not like other artists who have local fans, but a global one...
"Time flies so fast..." Lin Nayeon sighed, clutching the album her boyfriend had given her. She felt an indescribable mix of emotions. On the one hand, she was happy for his brilliance, but on the other, she felt a bit lost in her own pace. Was she moving too slowly? In a year, the boy she'd suspected of being a celebrity to collect debts had become her boyfriend, and they were very much in love. But wasn't the gap a bit too big now? And this jerk kept teasing her by calling her a big star...
"Isn't Oppa really gifted in languages? Why is Sana so angry she looks like she wants to hit someone?" Zhou Ziyu pursed her lips and gazed intently at the small group nearby. Besides that Oppa learning Neon, they were also practicing Neon for their summer debut in Japan. And according to pdnim, that Oppa was also going to debut as a group in Japan this summer with Bombardment Meteor.
On the sofa, Minatozaki Sana, Nai Minami, and Hirai Momo sat side by side like mentors. Minatozaki Sana's face was twisted, while Nai Minami lowered her head, holding an A4 sheet of paper covered in neon-inspired words. The wise and powerful Momo-chan, sitting cross-legged with a bag of snacks, devoured them relentlessly, occasionally grabbing a handful of chips and handing them to Miya Makoto, "Cheers! Oppa!"
Gong Cheng sat on the chair in front of the three people, shook the chair, and took another sip of orange juice.
"Hey, can you be serious?" Minatozaki Sana scratched her head in annoyance, a little mad. She couldn't understand how this bad guy in front of her got into Yonsei University, one of the top three universities in Seoul!
He's lazy at studying, doesn't listen carefully, and always gets sidetracked while talking to Momo-chan about what to eat in the evening. Is that the right attitude for studying? Then she turned her head and scolded him, "Momo-chan, you too! Stop giving him snacks..."
"Teacher Sana, your teaching method is not feasible. I need a learning method that combines work and rest. Teacher Momo is still a good teacher." Gong Cheng naturally grabbed a handful of potato chips from the Hirai Momo potato chip bag and stuffed them into his mouth.
The crisp sound made Minatozaki Sana's eyelids twitch. She felt a little helpless and nudged the shoulder of Mingjing Minami beside her, "Say something, Teacher Mina!"
Momo Hirai pouted and shook her head a little proudly, as if she was very happy that Gong Cheng spoke for her, so she gave Gong Cheng a thumbs up.
Gong Cheng raised his eyebrows in response.
"Let me think about it. Why don't you say a few words of the Neon language you know first? Let's listen first. At least we can know your vocabulary so that we can teach you in a targeted way." Mingjing Nan looked up at him seriously. Minatozaki Sana also thought what she said made sense and instructed, "Then say a few words of the Neon language you know first."
Then, she thought, this bad guy has been around her for so long, so he should be able to say some simple greetings. After all, if they were together in the future, wouldn't they have to speak Japanese and go home to meet their parents together? You have to work hard!
Gong Cheng looked at the three people in front of him, finding them quite amusing. Even though he had to learn Japanese dialect in preparation for Bombardment Meteor's debut in Japan and the release of their re-album in two months, didn't this scene feel a bit like role-playing?
Three Japanese teachers and one foreign student, yo!
"Baga!" Gong Cheng suddenly said, a catchphrase that Minato Saki Sayaka used to say to him! His voice was very loud, and he said it facing Minato Puppy, making her brows jump wildly in anger. He quickly said, "Private Marseille~"
Ming Jingnan on the side rolled his eyes at him unhappily, but couldn't help but smile. How could he scold someone and then apologize?
"What else?" Minatozaki Sana suppressed the anger in her heart and glared at him fiercely. You don't even speak my native dialect, and you're still waiting for me? I've been asking Tzuyu for help learning Chinese for you! I can even write your name! Baka!
"Does that count?" Gong Cheng moved his chair back.
Minatozaki Sana couldn't help herself and suddenly stood up from the sofa, "Baka! You hang out with the three of us Japanese people every day, and you can't even learn a nice word? And you still have the nerve to say that you have a good talent for languages?"
"You never said anything nice~" Gong Cheng pouted and muttered softly, making Minatozaki Sana's chest heave in anger. Kim Dahyun hurried over and comforted the unnie, "Unnie, learning is something that needs to be done slowly."
Mingjing Nan stopped laughing, picked up the A4 paper and held it against his chin, then asked quietly, "What else can you say? Like a daily greeting or a conversation?"
"Why don't you eat first, Oppa? Only when you're full will you have the energy to study." Momo Hirai was very tolerant and handed over her snacks.
"Yeah, buy a disc~" Gong Cheng blurted out in Japanese to refuse.
"..." Momo Hirai's hand holding the snacks was suspended in mid-air, and she opened her mouth in surprise.
"..." Minatozaki Sana looked at Gong Cheng with a strange look on her face. Where did she learn this from? Her tone was really...
No matter how good Ming Jingnan's temper was, she couldn't bear it anymore. Her face flushed, and she raised her little feet that were folded under her knees in annoyance and kicked the bastard in front of her. What the hell was she talking about?
Gong Cheng's "Ah, buy a disc~" wasn't too quiet, but even in the quiet room, the other members could hear it clearly. Nayeon blushed, a bit blaming herself for saying anything her boyfriend could.
Sun Caiying couldn't help but roll her eyes, ha ha, this oppa knows so much!
Yu Jeongyeon, Park Ji-hyo and others clicked their tongues.
Only Kim Da-hyun and Chou Tzu-yu looked at the other sisters' expressions in confusion. Kim Da-hyun stared with curiosity.
Zhou Ziyu came up to Minatozaki Sana and patted her shoulder, "Ouni, what do you mean by buying a disc?"
"Well..." Minatozaki Sana glared at Gong Cheng who was pretending to be dead, and explained, "Well, it means no."
"So Momo asked Oppa if he wanted to eat first, and Oppa said no," Zhou Ziyu thought seriously. It's quite simple Japanese language! So she smiled and said, "I learned it. Yeah, buy a CD~"
"Ah! You are not allowed to say that!" Minatozaki Sana quickly covered her maknae's mouth.
"Why, unnie?" Kim Da Hyun blinked her eyes, very curious. There are many things in this world that Tofu doesn't know, and she wants to learn like crazy!
"Ask your good oppa!"
"Hehe... Actually, I was just saying it randomly... I don't know how I remembered it." Gong Cheng's face flushed a little, and he turned his head away, not looking at the members. Then, he couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere any more, "Momo-chan, let's eat first!"
"..."
At the suggestion of Gong Cheng and Hirai Momo, the group came to the JYP cafeteria. It must be said that the food in the JYP cafeteria is quite good. Compared with other agencies, such as SM or YG, he has never eaten there.
"Suzy, long time no see."
Gong Sung was walking side by side with Lim Nayeon when they suddenly saw Bae Suzy who had just finished her meal not far away.
Everyone in Twice greeted Bae Suzy and then went to get their food. Their arrival immediately attracted the attention of many staff and trainees in the cafeteria.
"Then I'll go get some food first, Suzy-unni." Lin Nayeon greeted Bae Suzy with a smile. As Twice became more and more popular and famous, many seniors in the company who were difficult to get close to before have become familiar with them.
"Go ahead, Nayeon! I need Gong Sung's help." Bae Suzy waved with a smile. Within her sight, Nayeon followed the other members and picked up two plates, one for her and one for Gong Sung. "Ouni, two chicken legs." She then placed the chicken legs from her own plate onto Gong Sung's. Then, there was seaweed soup, an omelet, a fried egg, white rice, and kimchi—forget about it, he doesn't like it...
"Jingyeon, help me serve this. Gongsung and Suzy are chatting about something and asked me to get him some food. They're almost full."
Yu Jeongyeon glanced at the plate full of food and asked, "Oppa, you can't eat so much, right?"
"Oh, he's such a picky eater, you know that. It's better to give him a whole portion than for him to nag me at the dinner table later, right?" Lin Nayeon explained guiltily. It's always good to eat more, so she fed her boyfriend heartily.
"That's right." Yu Jeongyeon nodded, remembering that oppa's picky eating.
"I'll go get Oppa a glass of orange juice." Zhou Ziyu activated her good sister ability, put the plate on the table, trotted to the beverage machine, and lined up behind Kim Da-hyun and Hirai Momo.
"What's wrong, Suzy, I'm so hungry!"
Gong Cheng always felt that nothing good would happen whenever he met this sister.
Bae Suzy glanced at Ming Jingnan, who had just grabbed some food and was sitting at the dining table nearby, playing games on her phone, and jokingly asked, "How's the progress with Mina?"
"Not very good." Gong Cheng pulled a chair and sat down in a bad mood.
"No way? Aren't you a playboy? What are your methods?" Bae Suzy was a little surprised. According to her expectations, Gong Cheng should have taken Ming Jingnan seriously! According to his playboy personality, they should have broken up by now. Why haven't they started yet?
Playboy?
Gong Cheng felt that the world was quite malicious towards him and was very rude to him who loved pure love!
"Ani, I don't have any tricks, I just suddenly felt that Suzy Nuna is prettier than her." He changed his address and looked seriously at Bae Suzy who sat down slowly in front of him, his deep eyes flashing with an ambiguous arc.
"Ah Xi!" Pei Xiuzhi's eyes met his. The affectionate look in his eyes, as if he were looking at a dog, made her a little unbearable. She quickly stretched out her hand to block Gong Cheng's gaze, curled her lips and said, "Don't say these nonsense to me."
"So, what exactly do you want to talk to me about, Suzy? I'm really hungry!" Gong Cheng glanced at her, signaling her to speak quickly. Could it be because she rejected the dinner with 'Slippery Hand Sister' two days ago? So she came to her door?
Bae Suzy didn't rush to answer. She pulled out her phone and casually flipped through the trending searches. There were all these random things like [Tarot's first album sales on the first day], [Lucky trainee Hwang Yeji], [Twice and Tarot's collaborative challenge 'Any Song']...
She clicked on the trending search [Twice and Tarot collaborate on challenge "Any Song"] and handed the phone to Gong Cheng.
"Isn't this the dance video I filmed with Jinyoung and Twice last night?" Gong Cheng was a little puzzled. He didn't know what this girl was trying to say. Given his and Twice's current popularity, it was normal for a dance video to go viral, right? Of course, the Peninsula 'DiCaprio' was a mascot, right?
"Look down." Bae Suzy came close to him, and with her fingers inlaid with white manicure, she clicked on the entry #《Any Song》challenge# under the video. In the entry, there were thousands of videos, all of which were dance clips of "Any Song" filmed by passers-by, major Asian groups, or solo artists.
"You're famous..." Bae Suzy said softly.
"What? Haven't I always been very popular?" Gong Cheng was not modest. The facts and data were in front of the public. With his current popularity and achievements, he felt that it should not be considered self-boasting to say that he was really popular, right?
"No, the video you filmed with PDNim and Twice last night became the first group challenge video in the history of KPOO, and it's very popular. Many fans and passers-by, as well as some artists from other companies, are challenging the dance of this song. While increasing the exposure and popularity of your song, it also brings traffic to themselves." Bae Suzy explained. She finally understood that this younger man hadn't paid any attention to this matter.
"I heard from pdnim this morning that quite a few agencies have already incorporated challenges into their artists' schedules, including ours. It seems like whenever an artist releases a new song, they'll ask artists from the same agency, or even other agencies, to dance to the challenge song together and post it online. It's considered a different kind of promotion, and it's going to become a necessary method for song promotion in the future."
"You can be considered the founder of Challenge..."
"Huh? It's just a co-produced video, is it that exaggerated?" Gong Cheng frowned in confusion. Last night, Park Jin Young was just itchy and wanted to move around, and he was half-pushed and half-pushed along. How did he become the founder of the challenge?
But think about it from another angle, a dance video like Challenge can indeed be used as a means of promoting songs, but it’s not that exaggerated, right?
"You'll know if it's an exaggeration if you try it." Bae Suzy smiled as she took back her phone, turned on the camera, and placed it on the dining table. She then pulled Gong Cheng up and said, "Take out your phone."
"Why?"
"Play a song, 'Any Song'."
"Ashi! You talked to me for so long just for this?"
"Meet by chance~"
"No!" Gong Cheng pushed away the hand of the nation's first love and glanced at the gossiping eyes around the cafeteria. Ah Xi! If this continues, it seems that rumors of him and this girl dating will spread around the company tomorrow. He really can't resist this girl who is acting cute and pouting. Isn't it disgusting! "Clap, snap, snap, okay? Hurry up, I'm starving!"
Gong Cheng took out his cell phone and played the song "Any Song".
Bae Suzy finally pulled her arm out with satisfaction. The dance to "Any Song" is quite simple, consisting of finger dances and some body movements. Its simplicity and charm are one of the main reasons why it became popular in Seoul. Not to mention that she debuted in a girl group, so the dance to this song is naturally easy to master.
"Why are you all so depressed~"
"..."
Under the dynamic beat, Gong Cheng stood helplessly beside Bae Suzy and danced to "Any Song" like paddling water, finishing it in one go.
"Be serious!"
Two, three times. After the third time, Bae Suzy put away her phone with satisfaction, ending the challenge. "I'll upload the video to Instagram later. Pay attention to my previous likes. Tomorrow, you can check out the likes of this video. It's definitely going to be a huge hit."
She reminded Gong Cheng to pay more attention to these things. She didn't even realize how popular she was. "Got it. I'm going to eat. You're so nagging." Gong Cheng quickly turned around and, under Bae Suzy's gaze, lazily walked to the Twice members' table. "I'm so hungry, Tzuyu. Thanks for the orange juice. Our Tzuyu is the best."
Yu Jeongyeon and the others couldn't help but roll their eyes. When it comes to learning Japanese, isn't Momo-chan the best?
"Oppa, I got some fruit for you." Momo Hirai took a banana from her own plate and handed it to him.
"MOMO-chan is the kawaii!"
Yu Jeongyeon shared a piece of egg tart and pushed it in front of him, wanting to see what the oppa would say next.
“Jingyeon is the most handsome!”
"..." Park Ji-hyo and Yu Jeongyeon looked at each other, their lips twitching, and they blurted out at the same time, "Scumbag!"
"..."
"If you say so, I can't help it~" Gong Cheng bit the chicken leg and spread his hands.
……
On April 3, Lay temporarily ended his domestic studio schedule and flew back to Seoul.
At night, under the cameras of D agency and major media, all seven members of Bombardment Meteor were seen going in and out of the famous Gangnam Club, Tyse.
After the photos of the group wandering around Gangnam were published by the media, they instantly became a hot topic. Many agencies and artists had just come back to their senses from the legendary first-day sales record of Tarot's first full-length album, but the fog of Bombardment Meteor still hung over their heads.
【Tarot opens the era of K-pop and challenges!】
[Lay appeared in Seoul, and all members of Bombardment Meteor gathered in Gangnam! ]
[Park Chanyeol is suspected of cheating, confirmed! ]
[Bombardment Meteor member, Jackson Wang, a monthly influencer!]
According to Park Jae-bum's ex-girlfriend, current Bombardment Meteor member Jay Park cheated on his girlfriend several times during their relationship...
[Tarot's new girlfriend Bae Suzy filmed "Any Song" with the nation's first love and seemed to show their affection]
Amidst the overwhelming number of trending searches, not many people paid attention to it originally. However, overnight, it topped the trending searches as if manipulated by someone. All seven members of Bombardment Meteor, with more or less scandals or negative news, were neatly displayed on the front pages of major websites.
The passersby and fans watching below were arguing with each other, with fans caring about the truth, while the passersby didn't care about the truth and talked about it with relish.
"I won't talk about Tarot. This guy's attitude towards relationships... is... a playboy, that's a given! Besides, he's a singer who topped the B charts, so let's just talk. Holy shit! What's going on with Oh Sehun and Park Chanyeol? And Wang Jiaer! Aren't you guys idols? Where's Doude?"
"Ah Xi, the guy above! Are you bashing my Gege? What do you mean they're just dating? My oppa isn't dating either. Can't you see that this is obviously a rumor? Damn Bae Suzy, is she worthy of my oppa's bed? Are you a die-hard Bae Suzy fan?"
"I heard from a friend in the industry that the private lives of several members of Bombardment Meteor are indeed quite... well, those who understand will understand!"
"Kkk~ Serves you right! Bombardment Meteor! Bombardment Meteor! How can our BTS be so clean? Hmm? I think it's the artillery group? The three major artillery groups in Seoul are all full of scandals, especially Tarot. I don't know how you can tolerate it? Park Jae-bum and Wang Jiaer are not good people either. They go to nightclubs every day..."
"I'm going to blast you, you bastards! When my oppa was topping the B-list, why didn't you come out and say these things? Now that Bombardment Meteor is coming back, you bastards are showing up like a troll army? Are you going to make money to buy a wreath for your mom? Come on, send me your card number, and we'll buy you a tombstone for your whole family, not to mention the wreaths!"
"Artillery regiment!"
"Execution Department, move out! Stargazers, move out! Damn, these idiot Ariabird babies..."
"..."
"Pao Tuan?" In the club's private room, Gong Cheng sipped his wine and nearly spit it out. "Is that considered a nickname?"
"By the way, Lay, what's your EXO group called? The ground group?" He turned to ask Zhang Yixing, who was standing beside him. Zhang Yixing had just returned to Seoul today, and the guys had arranged to get together for a few drinks. After all, the next step was to plan the group's comeback.
"Yeah, a low-level group..." Zhang Yixing nodded helplessly. EXO was initially marketed by many fans and SM as Asia's top group, but under the attacks of anti-fans and black fans, the high-level group turned into a low-level group.
"Ah! Cannonball? I can't stand it..." Park Chanyeol drank a sip of wine in a bad mood, but he looked at the guys sitting in the box, and then looked at himself. These black fans, really...
Ever since the company announced that he and Oh Sehun had joined Bombardment Meteor, the two have been subject to a lot of abuse and controversy. People called them traitors and shit. The insults were really harsh.
"Whatever, whatever you want." Gong Cheng waved his hand nonchalantly, turned off his phone, and raised his glass to clink glasses with the members. Whether it was a cannon group or a pure group, it was obvious that it was a joint countermeasure by other companies.
There was no way. Among the members sitting in the room, he himself couldn't think of any K-pop group that could give him a fight, not to mention other agencies, which were now making all these small moves, and it seemed like a storm was brewing.
However, after a quick look, the members' moods haven't been affected much. They're all relatively... well... Park Jae-bum's departure from the group, Jackson Wang has always been controversial, and Park Chanyeol, Wu Se-hun, and Zhang Yixing's absence from EXO were also widely criticized...
Only Lin Yingxiong has less controversy.
"Ah!" Park Jae-bum took a sip of wine and took off his vest. The tattoo on his chest, representing Bombardment Meteor, had been painted and restored well. The crown with meteors gathered on it was very eye-catching. "Reaching the top is really not easy. These people are really..."
"Let's do something big."
He said something in a childish way, then clinked glasses with everyone.
"Ah Xi! I really can't stand you, brother!" Gong Cheng swallowed the wine, feeling a little bit hot. "Brother, we are not your fans. Who are you taking off your clothes for? It's insulting to public morals..."
"That's right, brother, put it on...it makes me sick..." Wu Sehun joked with a smile.
"Sehun, am I too kind to you..." Park Jae-bum stood up and said in a serious tone, then smiled unhappily, "Ah Xi, you bunch of brats!"
"..."
Amid the clinking of glasses, there was a karaoke facility in the private room, and Park Chanyeol went up to sing "Singj For You", a song released by EXO in 15.
"So for this comeback, let's release a regular album, brothers." Gong Cheng took a sip of wine and told Bombardment Meteor's comeback plan. He felt that if they reached the top, why not release a regular album?
Otherwise, wouldn't the number of songs in the mini-album be less than the number of members? That would be ridiculous, wouldn't it? Furthermore, with Bombardment Meteor being jointly released by four companies, not to mention the companies behind Park Jae-bum and Lim Young-woong, JYP and SM are also very ambitious for this comeback.
If they had only released one mini-album, they wouldn't have started plans to expand their roster. For Gong Cheng, Bombardment Meteor's rise to the top would have helped him secure a strong base across Asia, and that's why Xia Tian debuted with a re-album in Japan.
"For a regular album, wouldn't ten tracks be too rushed?" Jackson Wang asked cautiously. In fact, the members and the companies all knew that whether Bombardment Meteor could reach the top of the list this time depended on the quality of the album produced by the youngest member.
In preparation for Bombardment Meteor's comeback, the four companies have postponed most of the group's artists' schedules to the second half of the year. In the spring and summer before autumn arrives, the members will devote themselves physically and mentally to this comeback.
Ever since the second generation reached the top and then declined now, there has been no group that can take up the banner of the entire K-pop generation change. Now, Twice is about to take over from Girls' Generation, and all the members of Bombardment Meteor are not very willing to take over from Bigbang. Wouldn't it be better to surpass them?
Whether it is staffing or company strength, Bombardment Meteor is indeed full of unlimited possibilities in all aspects.
"Don't worry, Jinyoung and Lee Soo-man mean that even if it's a little slower, it's okay." Gong Cheng said, lying on the sofa. A little tipsy, he missed the rabbit idol, Zhao Meiyan's pabo, and the tiger's fangs...
Then, he poured another glass of wine and drank it all. Sometimes he hated his own infatuation! Pure love!
……
April 4, Tuesday, Qingming Festival.
Gong Cheng returned home and went to a cemetery in the southern suburbs of Seoul with his adoptive parents...
……
Meanwhile, the trending topic on all entertainment boards today was quite different from last night's gossip surrounding the entire Bombardment Meteor group. The Billboard Hot 100 chart updated its top 100 singles rankings for the month, instantly suppressing some of the gossip surrounding other companies.
Many fans and the public felt it was a pity that the ranking update of the B chart was released. "Rockstar", which had been the champion single for 21 consecutive days, dropped from No. 1 on the B chart to No. 2 on the B chart, just one day away from creating the record for the longest consecutive days for an Asian singer to top the B chart.

For a time, the entire Asian forum was filled with trending searches and entries related to Tarot, and a star-chasing phenomenon called the "Tarot Effect" emerged. Initially, fans would imitate any action a Tarot took, but now it has evolved to the point where everyone will frantically repost and like anything related to "Tarot," including the clothing he wears and the brands he endorses...
"After watching today's update of the B chart, I went to the yard to smoke a cigarette to relax, but I caught a glimpse of new buds sprouting from the camellia in the corner. Yes, spring has come... Spring has also come for Asian singers..."
"Nonono, the person above said, it's not the spring of Asian singers that has arrived, it's the spring of Tarot that has arrived. Not every singer is a Tarot!"
"Shit! Am I dreaming?! Even though Tarot already has a number one single, it still feels a bit unreal to have it debut directly in the first week! No Asian singer has ever done that! And it topped the album charts!"
"Oh my god, all 10 of the songs on this album have made it into the Hot 100. Even though the last few songs won't stay there for long, it's still a pretty impressive achievement!"
"Miya Cheng-様, これからも世を Dominate the world してください!!"
"Oh, I'm going crazy! Can you please go on tour? Oppa!!!"
"Sisters, don't be too proud! IP is in the US, and although Oppa's new album is amazing, many people have already started to blindly criticize it!"
"Great! You are truly the pride of the Great Cold Nation!"
"Get lost, you little bastard! Tear your mouth apart!"
"..."
JYP, on the Qingming Festival, Gong Cheng did not feel too much emotional about the outside public opinion and the update of the B chart. If it were yesterday or tomorrow, he would happily go to find his bunny idol to kiss, hug and hold him high, or go to teacher Sana to learn some Neon language.
But he was in no mood having just paid tribute to his parents. In Park Jin-young's office, he sat on the sofa in a daze, looking somewhat sad.
Park Jin-young, standing by, was thumping his chest in ecstasy, truly becoming the gorilla his fans were calling him, with none of his DiCaprio demeanor left. However, after celebrating for a moment, Park Jin-young sat down next to Gong Cheng, hugged him tightly, and seemed very excited.
He knew that Gong Cheng had just returned from the cemetery this morning after sweeping the graves of his biological parents. "That's amazing, Xiao Cheng."
"It's okay. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first, brother." Gong Cheng stood up and smiled. It had been many years since his parents passed away. Logically, the sadness and nostalgia should have disappeared long ago, but today he just couldn't feel proud.
"Okay, if you go to Twice's practice room, remember to tell the kids that there's a celebration party tonight!" Park Jin Young snapped his fingers. He guessed this brat was going to Twice's practice room again. But it didn't matter. It was good for the kid to have some fun with the Twice kids.
A second number one single! A number one album! The media hailed him as the reigning king of the world! Even on a day like this, one should be happy!
"Another celebration party, brother? I was preparing..." Gong Cheng curled his lips in annoyance and then stopped talking.
"Planning to go to Gangnam to celebrate, right?" Park Jin Young said speechlessly. He knew that the outside world now called Bombardment Meteor "Artillery Group", but he could do nothing about it.
Let’s go to Jiangnan, as long as it’s not Qingliangli, but we still have to celebrate tonight.
After leaving Park Jin-young's office, Gong Sung felt empty. Empty...really! He had to meet someone special to fill that void.
Gong Cheng was not in a hurry to go to Twice's practice room. He came to the composing room, lay on the sofa, and prepared to send a message to the rabbit idol, come over and stay close for a while, and after he was done and waited for the rabbit idol to leave, he would ask the little tiger Sun Caiying to come over, and finally ask the little dog to come over, because she chattered all day long.
Then I went to Twice's practice room to chat with my good sister Chou Tzuyu, my good brother Kim Dahyun, that thief, and the members of Twice...
"Xiao Cheng, I've been looking for you. Why aren't you in Twice's practice room?" Jin Dae-woo suddenly rushed into the composing room. He was a little surprised why this brat was staying here alone. It was a bit unreasonable.
"If you have something to say, just say it, brother." Gong Cheng was anxious to find someone special to recharge his batteries, so he casually typed a question to Zhao Meiyan about how her pabo's practice was going recently.
"Hurry up and check Twitter! Someone posted a message of congratulations..." Kim Dae-woo.
"Then who is who?" Gong Cheng wondered.
I offer you 10,000 yuan a day. Brothers, please give me monthly tickets. The author is also very empty and needs monthly tickets to fill it. It's empty, lonely and cold~
