The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 183 "Eight-Family Joint Tear & Wing Breaking Plan"

it's over--

In the empty auditorium of the venue, Jin Dae-woo found a seat at random and sat down, taking pictures of the performance that had ended from time to time with his handheld camera.

The fan meeting, originally scheduled for 150 minutes, stretched to a full 300 minutes. The boy on stage, who was picking up silver sticky notes and taking photos, also personally escorted the fans out of the venue.

Taking photos and hugging - Jin Dae-woo reviewed his 20-year career in this circle. No artist has ever done this to his fans, and no fans have ever done this to their artists.

The meeting was extended by half its duration. As an agent, he should have sighed, "Ah! It's finally over!" But the feeling that emerged in his heart was actually a bit reluctant?
"Call it a day, bro!"

Gong Cheng stood on the stage and waved to Jin Dae-woo who was stunned in the audience. He was holding a mailbox in his hand, which contained all the "love" that had been thrown at him.

"Hungry, huh? I saw a lot of guides on the forum saying that Shanghai's Xiao Yang Sheng Jian is delicious and a must-try."

Jin Dae-woo ran onto the stage and helped him hold the remaining mailboxes below. When he talked about dinner, the fat on his cheeks was about to move.

"..." Gong Cheng glanced at him, wondering where this guy got this unreliable strategy? "Ani, brother, can you be a little more promising?"

"Many tourists in Seoul go there to check in and get their certification. It tastes very good." Jin Dae-woo muttered in disbelief.

"I don't want to eat it anyway. If you want to eat it, you can eat it yourself." Gong Cheng handed the mailbox to the accompanying staff, gave a few instructions, and said that he would take it back to the company. Then he put on his coat and went to the underground parking lot.

……

The nanny car drove into the rain curtain of Shanghai. At the same time, Arcanas from all over the world, like raindrops, popped up the Instagram update of "Tarot" on their mobile phones one hour after the meeting ended.

In the heavy rain, fans lingered in front of the venue for a long time, unwilling to leave. They held umbrellas in one hand and took out their mobile phones with the other, looking at the latest Instagram of the boy who had hugged and shook hands with them not long ago.

"Clap clap clap..."

The raindrops hit the umbrella, making a loud noise.

On the screen of the mobile phone, the pictures taken by the boy on the stage in the venue were liked and viewed by countless people in an instant; some unforgettable pictures of his support signs, some shots of fans laughing and crying, and the silver sticky notes he held in his hands,

"If there is no love, Seoul is too far away"

I love you more than you love me

A Girl's Deepest Love Dedicated to Tarot

〈… … 〉

In the blank space above dozens of photos, the editor's copy is a brief two-line text: "Every profession in the world hides money transactions beneath the care and concern, but only the profession of artist hides countless sincerity beneath the money transactions."

"Every profession in the world hides money transactions beneath the surface of warm regard, but being an entertainer hides countless sincerity beneath the surface of money transactions." At the entrance to the venue, the Akanas, reluctant to leave, held umbrellas to shield them from the rain. But beneath the umbrellas, scorching "raindrops" fell from cheeks, passionately splashing onto the screen like silver tears...

[Tarot fan meeting details revealed! ]

[Tarot will perform a new song at the fan meeting, "Definitely Will" for Chinese fans!]

[A girl's deepest love is dedicated to Tarot! ]

[Silver sea of ​​flowers...]

It's reported that Tarot's fan meeting today in Shanghai's HQ district, originally scheduled for 150 minutes, ended at the 300-minute mark. Tarot personally greeted and saw off fans as they entered and stood before the event, offering each fan a hug, handshake, and photo opportunity. He truly represents the pinnacle of high-quality idols. We've learned that his domestic fan group, "Arkana," has been dedicated to public welfare over the past year...

[Tarot even gave away Polaroid cameras to every fan during the fan meeting game session. According to estimates, the total cost was approximately NT$600,000...]

[Photos]

In the picture, silver "rain" pours down, and that hazy figure, set off by the silver light, has the eyes and eyebrows that countless people are fascinated by...

"We recommend that domestic entertainment artists save Tarot fan meeting videos and study them repeatedly, watching them frame by frame."

"Holy crap, are those silver paper flowers actually sticky notes? Even non-fans are shocked. I'm getting goosebumps just looking at them..."

"Love pours down on Tarot!"

"I'm not a Tarot fan, but this photo is so real! I can't help but empathize with it. Countless sticky notes say, 'The love we star-chasers give us isn't rain, it's hearts."

"What will Oppa think when he sees the contents of the sticky notes? This one loves me, and this one also loves me..."

"Woohoo! Oppa, please come back to Seoul soon. We can give you more than lunch can~ Come back safely~"

……

In Switzerland, Twice returned to the hotel arranged by the company after finishing the group variety show shooting today. They went to Schilthorn today. The scenery was beautiful, but very tiring.

At a table in the hotel lobby, eight people watched the leaked fan meeting video online, stunned and at a loss for words. Last night's drone support had already left them visibly shaken.

The video did not contain any background music or sentimental segments. There were only the beating numbers like hearts on the big screen in the center of the stage, recording how long they had been waiting to meet that oppa.

Then "bang" the sea of ​​silver sticky notes tilted towards the oppa, which gave people goose bumps.

"Is Oppa crying?" Kim Da-hyun observed carefully, pausing the video and focusing on the figure gazing at the sea of ​​flowers. Mingjing Nan nodded sharply.

"How is this possible? I've never seen this guy shed tears. He should be a very cold-blooded creature." Minatozaki Sana lowered her head in disbelief, staring at the screen, and the man's eyebrows were enlarged and magnified to the maximum.

"Sana, Oppa is a very good person. Don't look at him as if he is always smiling and not caring about anything." Zhou Ziyu retorted with a stern face. She remembered her birthday last year, when she had a big table of Tainan dishes.

"Oppa is actually very thoughtful..."

Yu Jeongyeon and Hirai Momo nodded in approval.

Lin Nayeon stared at the screen with trembling pupils, her face a little flustered. She had originally planned to have a long phone chat with her boyfriend, spend some quality time together, and celebrate the successful completion of his return visit.

But when she saw the silver sticky notes falling, she suddenly felt a little timid and scared - she was not afraid that Gong Cheng would leave her, she was afraid that the scene from last summer would happen again.

She was afraid that if her relationship with Gong Cheng was exposed one day, the Onces would leave her, but she believed that she could bear it. After all, when she made this decision, she had already made up her mind, "yes or no". The decision of yes was difficult to make, but she still did it.

She is not afraid of those, but Lin Nayeon is afraid that the boy bathing in the sea of ​​flowers on the stage will be attacked and scolded because of the same experience as last summer. After all, he has received a lot of love.

Her boyfriend had finally gotten to this point, and she didn't want her love to turn into a sharp blade that stabbed him again like last year, leaving him covered in wounds.

"What's wrong, Nayeon?" Son Chaeyoung was sitting next to Lin Nayeon, and seeing that her face was a little pale, she asked with concern.

"It's okay." Lin Nayeon took a sip of coffee with a forced smile, and then made up her mind.

Forget it! I have to be more careful when kissing men next time!
……

October 4, Shanghai.

While filming the Armani advertisement, Gong Cheng met Hu Ge, who was at the peak of his career in the mainland entertainment circle. As both were the Asia-Pacific spokespersons for the Armani brand, the two quickly became familiar with each other.

This guy has released several dramas in the past two years, especially "Nirvana in Fire" in 15, which was not only a hit in China, but also very popular in the Peninsula.

"Tarot, tone it down a bit and stop being such a playboy..."

"Old Hu, be more discerning."

"Yes! Keep it up!"

On the set, the director, holding a walkie-talkie, somewhat helplessly explained some filming requirements to the two co-stars on the set. This time, Gong Cheng was positioned as a playboy, wearing a flirty pink couture suit and a lace tie. He had thought Gong Cheng would be difficult to pull off, but unexpectedly...

It's quite a contrast, but it also proves that this artist is very versatile. After shooting the entire commercial, all the rhythms and styles were mastered and digested very well by Gong Cheng.

"Costume crew, get ready, next set!"

"..."

As the sky gradually darkened and the Armani ad shoot concluded, Jin Dae-woo discussed some schedule arrangements. "Xiao Cheng, tomorrow morning's flight back to Seoul."

"Got it, Brother Dayu." Gong Cheng nodded and took a sip of orange juice. Hu Ge came out of the locker room and sat down next to him with a smile. "It's been a while since you've been back to China, right? If you're free, let's have a meal and a drink together."

"Okay, brother." Gong Cheng thought about it and agreed. Anyway, his work arrangements in China had already ended, so there was really nothing to do tonight.

As for Hu Ge, he is in his early thirties, but after getting to know him, he has a pretty funny personality and we get along well. After all, no matter which country's entertainment industry, besides strength, connections are also important, and Gong Cheng has always had a good relationship with people.

"Oh, I just remembered, I have a few friends who want to ask you for an autograph. Is it convenient for you?" Hu Ge took a few albums of Gong Cheng's first full-length album from his agent. "But they're all on the set lately, otherwise they would definitely want to have dinner and take photos together."

"Are you from the same circle, brother?" Gong Cheng picked up the pen curiously and signed several albums.

"Yes, Tang Yan and Shi Shi, I'll introduce you to each other when I have the chance. They are both your fans, and so am I, haha." Hu Ge stood up and walked towards the nanny car with Gong Cheng and started chatting.

(I would like to mention the female artists who can’t write about domestic entertainment)
"..."

……

April 24th is Son Chaeyoung’s birthday.

He boarded the plane at ten in the morning, and nearly two hours later, Gong Cheng landed at the airport in Seoul. He pressed down the few tufts of hair that were sticking up on his head, but couldn't smooth them down, so he had to cover them with a baseball cap.

He walked through the crowded crowd of fans who came to pick him up at the airport, got into the Maybach that he hadn't seen for a long time, and returned to the company.

Looking at the JYP building, Gong Cheng always felt that seeing this sign was like reminding him, "Vacation is over."

"Yeji, long time no see."

"Suzy, what drama are you filming recently? Do you want me to give you some guidance?"

"..."

Gong Cheng walked in the company with his hands in his pockets and couldn't help yawning. Along the way, he met many company staff and trainees, as well as senior artists.

"Jinying, I'm back."

Gong Cheng pushed open the door of the president's office. He saw the man standing in front of the mirror next to the sofa, fixing his hair with his head held high. His hair, which was waxed, stood upside down like a hedgehog.

He often wondered how this guy had the confidence to put a one-meter-tall mirror in his office? He even wandered in front of the mirror whenever he had nothing to do, biting his lip intentionally or unintentionally, and holding his head high.

If the company wants to launch a new girl group or Twice wants to transform from a vibrant style to a sexy style in the future, Park Jin Young can personally guide them. After all, no one is as slutty and bitchy as him.

"Take a seat first, Xiaocheng." Park Jin-young was still meticulously fixing his hair in front of the mirror. "How was your fun?"

"Not bad, but it's a pity that the time we stayed in Switzerland and China was too short." Gong Cheng took out the apple from his pocket that the little girl had brought out from the cafeteria when he met Huang Lizhi downstairs. He took a bite and it was quite sweet.

"Jinyoung, you're so handsome and can debut now."

Gong Cheng sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and took several bites of the apple. He was not trying to flatter Park Jin Young, but while eating, he actually hoped that Park Jin Young would look in the mirror more often, leaving a deep back view.

Otherwise, he won’t be able to eat it. After all, such a good fruit is very sweet, it would be a shame to waste it!

"Really?" Park Jin-young turned around happily and snapped his fingers, "OK."

"Xiao Cheng, let's prepare our debut album! Brother will accompany you to the United States." He sat opposite Gong Cheng with a smile and joked. In fact, he really had this idea before, but after careful consideration, he felt that it was not appropriate.

Even though he really didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that he was shameless enough to debut with the kid. Maybe he would be a drag, right?

"No, brother. Actually, you should form a group with Bang Si Hyuk and Lee Soo Man. The three of you will definitely be a big hit in your hometown." Gong Cheng threw away the apple core, wiped his mouth and joked.

He had some understanding of the love, hate and vengeance between Lee Soo Man and Park Jin Young, but Bang Si Hyuk was not very clear... But if that was really the case, this world was really crazy.

"Alright, kid, let's get down to business." Park Jin Young shook his head helplessly. He picked up a report from the table, handed it over, and said cheerfully, "The 600,000 you spent on the fan meeting boosted your album sales."

"Anio, I don't care about sales growth." Gong Cheng waved his hand. Seeing Park Jin Young's eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, he knew that the 600,000 yuan spent would at least double and flow back to the company.

“It seems like I’m doing this for sales.”

"Of course I know you're not doing this for sales, that's why I say you're a natural superstar, Xiao Cheng." Park Jin Young smiled and nodded, "I just want you to know that this is your current influence."

"When will Twice come back?" Gong Cheng changed the subject. Compared to sales, he was more concerned about when his baby members would return to Seoul - it's lonely to be alone.

Besides, his favorite little tiger’s birthday is today!

"My flight is tomorrow afternoon, and I won't be back until the day after tomorrow. After relaxing, it's time to prepare for my next comeback and my debut in Japan this summer." Park Jin Young stroked his chin. If he could say that his expectations for Gong Cheng were as high as the whole world.

Asia, Europe and the United States, because he has such ability and the potential to shine around the world, but his expectations for Twice are more about the local market and Japan. With three Japanese lines in the group, it would be a shame not to develop such a huge Japanese market.

Furthermore, JYP has consistently done a good job with its planning and promotions in Japan over the years. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to make money in Japan during the first two years when their stock price was even lower than Frappuccino's.

"..."

"Oh no~ Brother Jinyoung, are you writing your autobiography?" Gong Cheng strolled around Park Jinyoung's office and accidentally saw the notebook on his desk. The document was marked with the table of contents and chapters.

It looks very formal and of a very high standard, just like a literary master...

"Yes, I had this idea before. In fact, it's better to say it's our autobiography than an autobiography." Park Jin Young stood up with some pride and walked to his side, patting his shoulder.

"We? Isn't this your autobiography, bro?"

"Because it's not just Park Jin Young who wrote it, but all the JYP kids as well." Park Jin Young looked at Gong Cheng's cheek and couldn't help wanting to see the boy's moved expression.

Sometimes he would hold his face in his hands late at night and imagine how nice it would be if he had a face like this boy.

"..." Gong Cheng was speechless. How could a president of a company do such fancy things every day? You don't deal with official business, and all day you either dance and sing or take the stage. Now you are publishing an autobiography?

But it was also good. What he admired most about this brother was that he was old but not old at heart.

"By the way, if you don't have anything personal tonight, remember to go talk to Jackson, Chanyeol, and Sehun." Park Jin Young sat on the chair, patted the table, and sighed, "The three of them haven't been in good shape lately."

"Bombardment Meteor's return is coming soon. This situation is not good. We need to adjust as soon as possible. If not, why not take them to Gangnam for some fun?"

"Anio, what's wrong? Is this what you, as a president, should say? Let's go to Jiangnan for some fun?" Gong Cheng leaned on the desk, hugged his chest and couldn't help laughing.

But now he can see that the company and SM have increasingly higher expectations for Bombardment Meteor.

"You haven't been in Seoul recently, so you don't understand the domestic public opinion." Park Jin Young knew this guy didn't pay much attention to trending searches, especially when he was still abroad. He said with a complicated expression, "These members have been under a lot of psychological pressure recently."

Recently, in major forums in Seoul, apart from the hot searches about the things that this brat did abroad, the rest of the space was almost dominated by several members of Bombardment Meteor.

For example, Park Chanyeol has been in and out of Gangnam club with SM trainees many times, and many gossipy media wanted to find out whether Gong Sung was among them. Although Gong Sung was not found among them, it is almost certain that Park Chanyeol is cheating on his partner.

After the evidence was released, SM immediately asked Park Chanyeol to issue an apology statement, and public opinion calmed down a bit, but many rival companies were fanning the flames behind the scenes, and this matter repeatedly became a hot topic, which dealt a heavy blow to his career.

"The company's psychologist and Jackson, he may have some depression tendencies." Park Jin Young sighed. Many artists in the circle have some mental illnesses to a greater or lesser extent, so the company always has a psychologist on hand.

But now that the bombing is at the top, adjustments must be made as soon as possible. As for Jackson Wang, after the news of his relationship was exposed, JYP immediately asked him to issue an apology.

In the past, the public opinion on the Internet regarding Bombardment Meteor was exactly the same as the group's preview, with netizens at that time speculating who would be the next member to join.

Now, everyone is speculating about who will be the next to be exposed in the "Pao Tuan" relationship scandal? The name of the "Pao Tuan" is becoming more and more famous and appropriate... Park Jin Young is not too worried about Gong Cheng. After all, his fan base is global, and he is not an idol. The company positioned him as a singer from the beginning. A relationship may cost him some money, but it won't cost him his life.

But for Jackson Wang and Park Chanyeol, it's different. In short, he and Lee Soo Man agree that this year is a turbulent year.

The purpose of those rival companies is also very simple, like a fill-in-the-blank question.

The boy group that will reach the top of the 3rd generation will be (). Four companies filled in Bombardment Meteor, but someone filled in X.

"Is it that serious, bro?" Gong Cheng pulled out his phone and glanced at the group chat on Kakao. No wonder it's been a bit quiet these past two days. "I understand, bro."

"..."

Afterwards, Gong Cheng and Park Jin Young talked about some things regarding public opinion after he left.

Park Jin-young stood in front of the French window with a deep look on his face, gazing for a moment at the fans downstairs who were protesting Jackson Wang's departure from GOT7. He then turned to his desk and wrote a preface about 2017 in his autobiography:

The summer of fireworks begins with the chirping of spring cicadas

……

"Damn it! Park Chanyeol deserves to be in the artillery group!"

"Sure enough! Birds of a feather flock together! Who's next? Will Zhang Yixing be hammered?"

"Traitor! Have you hit Wu Sehun?! Disclaimer: Zhang Yixing, Park Chanyeol, and Wu Sehun have nothing to do with us, EXO! Cut them off! There are only 6 members in EXO!"

"Shit, another runaway! Can you three just quit xo's group? Disgusting!"

"You guys don't have any moral integrity at all. How can you even have the nerve to date someone? Just quit the entertainment industry!"

"..."

Gong Cheng sat in the Maybach and glanced at the comments on the trending searches. The titles were really fucking ridiculous! [The Artillery Group's Farewell] - The car drove for a while and arrived at Seoul Hospital.

He got out of the car and went to the 5th floor of the inpatient department with a fruit basket.

"Jihyo~ I'm here to see you."

In the ward, Park Ji-hyo was lying on the bed, bored, looking at her phone. The screen was playing the popular Wednesday-Thursday drama. After seeing Gong Cheng enter the ward, she leaned against the headboard with some surprise, "Oppa, why are you here?"

"Captain! We're Twice! Shouldn't I be here?" Gong Cheng, full of team spirit, put down the fruit basket, glanced at Park Ji-hyo's knee, which had just undergone surgery, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

"The doctor said I'll be fine after two days of rest. Ah, the members are having a great time in Switzerland."

"Then you should take good care of yourself, Jihyo."

"..."

Gong Cheng didn't stay in the hospital for long, just for the sake of it - he is a world superstar and very busy.

Before night fell, he rested for a while in the dormitory and then went downstairs to sign for the express delivery.

Gong Cheng had recently ordered a full-size guitar from the best music store in Seoul, but now that he had unpacked it and was looking at the guitar, he began to wonder if he had ordered it too hastily.

The full-size guitar is the standard size of a guitar, 39 inches in length, about 99cm, with a relatively small error, and a string length of about 65cm. The Klein Blue body is rich and deep, with a black and brown base on the left and right sides.

It’s just like its price, very high-end and suitable for Son Chaeyoung.

But considering Little Tiger’s height, he should order a 3/4 size guitar, right?

"Whatever!" Gong Cheng put the guitar into its black case and carried it back to the dormitory. This was the birthday gift he prepared for Son Chaeyoung. The little tiger played the piano quite handsomely, and he thought it was very beautiful, so he wanted to give her the best guitar.

When she goes solo, I can hold her and sing on stage, even though solo is a distant dream for the members...

There is an eight-hour time difference between Switzerland and Seoul. Gong Cheng calculated that it was around six in the afternoon in Seoul, so it should be around ten in the morning in Switzerland. The members should all be up and may have already started filming today's group variety show.

"Chaeyoung~ Happy birthday~" Gong Cheng didn't send a text message, but directly made a video call.

Just as he thought, the little tiger was walking on the road with his head down and eyes sad, as if he had not woken up yet and looked listless.

"Oppa~Have you returned to Seoul?" After hearing Gong Cheng's voice, Son Chaeyoung quickly cheered up and the members around her in the video also came over.

"Yes, I just arrived at noon and went back to the company. I also went to the hospital to see Jihyo. She is recovering well. Don't worry." Gong Cheng lay on the sofa, muttering to himself, as if to reassure the members.

Then he changed the subject, narrowing his eyes beneath his scattered hair, and teased Minatozaki Sana and Nai Minami in the video with a smile, "Today is our Chaeyoung's birthday, didn't you prepare well?"

"Ani, we are planning to go back to the hotel tonight to celebrate for Chaeyoung. Look, does the little crown I bought suit Chaeyoung?" Minatozaki Sana grabbed the phone eagerly and put the little crown-shaped doll hat she had just bought at the market on the little tiger's head.

Combined with the baby fat on both sides of Son Chaeyoung's cheeks, she looks quite cute.

"Hey, Sana-chan, point the camera at Dahyun." Gong Cheng looked at the fleeting white light in the camera and said, "Why is my Tofu's baby fat gone?"

"Whoever is your family, they are all your family. You talk nonsense all day long!" Minatozaki Sana pouted unhappily, but still pointed the camera at Kim Dahyun, whose face was flushed.

"Woooo ...

As she spoke, Momo Hirai's expression suddenly became serious.

"..."

"Chaeyoung, I've left the birthday card and the gift I prepared for you in my dormitory. I'll wait for you to come back and get them." Gong Cheng sat up from the sofa and the camera moved over the guitar on the carpet.

In the picture opposite, eight curious heads are crowded together...

"Oh Mo Guitar?"

“The color is so pretty~”

“It seems to suit Chaeyoung very well…”

"Of course I had it custom-made at the best guitar shop in Seoul. It's not some cheap shoddy product! The Klein blue paint and strings are all top-notch." Gong Cheng boasted about how great the guitar he'd given her was...

The people on the opposite side were speechless after hearing this. They knew, they knew. Master Gong is tall, strong, and rich!
Gong Cheng believes that if you give something to someone, you must let them know how much you've given. Otherwise, if you're just blindly giving away your money, wouldn't that make you a complete idiot? Not only should you say it, you should also exaggerate it.

People who are going in both directions like this.

"Okay, anyway, this guitar I gave to Chaeyoung is amazing. You'll see for yourself when you get back." Gong Cheng took a sip of his Coke and stopped talking. He realized that after talking for so long, the members' attitudes were becoming increasingly perfunctory. Damn it!

"Thank you, oppa~" Sun Caiying liked it very much. She couldn't wait to go back to Seoul to see the piano and reward him well.

For example, at night, with a song playing on the CD player and the stars shining brightly, she and Gong Cheng would sit on the balcony, back to back, beneath the starry sky. Gong Cheng would drink beer, while she would hold the guitar she would always love in the future, strumming the strings and singing some of his favorite songs...

"I heard you'll be back the day after tomorrow. Have fun everyone. I'll be waiting for you in Seoul." Gong Cheng smiled and took out a set of casual clothes from the closet. "Let's not talk about it for now. I still have work to do tonight."

"You're so amazing! You're going to Gangnam right after returning to Seoul..."

Before the members on the other end of the phone could finish their guesses about where he was going, Gong Cheng hung up the video call, changed into a white T-shirt and put on a black jacket—the weather in Seoul had been slowly warming up recently...

……

"Don't worry, Pabo, eat more. You've lost weight recently. Let's meet another day." In the underground parking lot of a club in Gangnam, Wu Sehun locked the car door and looked at Gong Cheng beside him, and couldn't help but trembled.

"What a fucking jerk this guy is!" he thought to himself, "How many girls did he talk on the phone with during the whole trip?"

When Wu Sehun picked up Gong Cheng at his dormitory, he wanted to be more sentimental and have a good chat with the two brothers about some recent events, but what was the result?

"What's wrong with Sanpao?" Gong Cheng asked with a grin after hanging up the phone. After seeing the series of trending searches related to Bombardment Meteor today, he was honestly quite impressed. He didn't know which anti-hat fan had started the "cannon group" in the first place.

What the hell, it's a prophecy that has come true!

Many A.R.L.D. members were cursing and hoping that the next person to be knocked to the ground would be Oh Sehun next to them. It seemed that Park Chanyeol and Oh Sehun joining the group had a great impact on them.

"Don't mention the word 'gun'. It gives me a headache when I hear it now!" Wu Sehun waved his hands, took off his coat helplessly and held it in his hand.

The temperature in Gangnam clubs is always different from that outside. Under the fluttering neon lights, it is always like spring all year round, and the air is filled with alcohol.

The two of them arrived at the private room reserved by Jackson Wang. All the members were there, but the atmosphere was a bit stuffy. Park Chanyeol and Jackson Wang sat together, frowning as they drank, looking like two depressed young men.

But when he saw Gong Cheng coming in, he still forced a smile, "You're back, maknae."

"You don't look well, brother." Gong Cheng took off his coat and threw it on the sofa, looking at the faces of the two men. They were indeed much more haggard than before, with bloodshot eyes.

The members sitting in the box, including himself, are actually different on stage and in real life.

It’s no wonder that Jackson Wang tends to be a bit depressed. Artists in the circle who don’t feel stressed or depressed are very rare.

"Ah..." Wang Jiaer sat back in his seat, smiled bitterly, and took a sip of wine.

As one of the members who joined Bombardment Meteor midway, joining was a big gamble for him. Some people said he was trying to ride on the popularity and traffic, and there were all kinds of accusations.

Although he doesn't care about those things, he still hopes to show the impact his joining will bring to the group. Now that he has joined, looking at the current trend, the group is not as glorious as when he was the youngest member of the four-member group.

Even the name Bombardment Meteor has been labeled countless times. Reaching the summit? Everything now seems more like the end, and his joining is more like a joke.

"Okay, the maknae is back, don't think too much about it, the public opinion will eventually calm down." Park Jae-bum patted Wang Jiaer and Park Chanyeol on the shoulders and said something to comfort them.

He'd been accompanying them to the club a lot these past few days, drinking every day and night. Their schedules had recently been suspended by their respective companies, though it was said they were suspended, but in reality, they couldn't continue at all.

After all, there are still many fans protesting under the JYP and SM buildings. One is asking them to get out of GOT7 and the other is asking them to get out of EXO. What the hell is going on?
"Clang~"

The sound of crisp wine glasses echoed—after three rounds of drinks, Park Chanyeol, with a gloomy brow, opened up and said, "Shit! These media outlets are really!"

"..."

Wang Jiaer and Park Chanyeol were a little drunk and were cursing the media in the box for confusing right and wrong and exaggerating things.

Park Jae-Bum, Zhang Yixing, and Lin Yingxiong shrugged at Gong Cheng, looking like they were used to it.

Gong Cheng sat on the sofa but didn't say anything to comfort her. For things like this, one has to vent his anger. What's the point of keeping it in his heart? If he wants to smash something, just smash it. Park Jae-bum will pay for it!

In the smoke-filled private room, Park Jae-Bum slammed the table in anger, "Shit, these guys really are holding on to these things."

"It's not that easy to reach the top, Brother Jaebeom." Zhang Yixing pursed his lips and sighed. From about 10 years ago to now, there are only two most popular boy groups, one is Big Bang and the other is Exo.

Besides Big Bang reaching the top, EXO was roaring back then, but they were still a step behind! Of course, it also had something to do with the three domestic groups.

"Brothers, let's go to the company to practice tomorrow." Gong Cheng and Lin Yingxiong clinked glasses. As a new large-scale boy group, in addition to the song parts, there are also dance choreography and movement.

These are all difficult things to do, and one of the most important highlights of large group combinations is the sharp group dance. Bands like Twice, EXO, BTS, SEVENTEEN, and Girls' Generation all have good sharp group dances.

Regarding this comeback, he actually wanted to give it a try.

"As for public opinion, forget about it for now. Ultimately, the work will speak for itself." Gong Cheng put down his glass with some resignation. Thinking of the public opinion he had read that afternoon, he felt a little annoyed. "What a bunch of bastards!"

This statement encompasses all fans of K-pop boy and girl groups today! No wonder the members sitting in the box all looked solemn. Bombardment Meteor really looked like a villain, falling from grace.

Fans of each group would step on them whenever they passed by. Park Chanyeol, Jackson Wang and other members would often be slandered and defamed by people using any ambiguous photos in their respective fan forums.

There are actually people saying that Park Chanyeol is the former president's illegitimate son? Such a stupid statement will always be believed by even more stupid people!

"Ani, don't be angry, everything will be over." Wu Sehun patted Gong Cheng's shoulder and sighed.

The public opinion environment is very bad. From what he knows, ever since Park Chanyeol and Wang Jiaer were exposed one after another, a battle between fans of each company was started by the rival companies.

This battle was called the darkest period by Bombardment Meteor's fans in the fan club. It was called "Eight-family Tearing Down". Fans of almost all K-pop boy groups participated in this battle.

Lian means "jointly united," but who are they targeting? Isn't it the current "Asian Artillery Group"? Even passing fans of girl groups are trying to get involved—and the "Eight-Party Joint Fight" is also known as the "Broken Wing Plan."

But this childish name has dealt a heavy blow to the members' careers and physical and mental health recently.

As for the eight groups that are fighting each other, they are actually bigbang, EXO, got7, vixx, shinee, SEVENTEEN... even the fans of NCT, a small and obscure group launched by SM last year, are involved.

If you really count them, there are more than eight fan groups of each group. Bombardment Meteor became the public enemy of the entire K-pop almost overnight.

Gong Cheng took a sip of wine and thought he should say something childish to cheer up his brothers, like, "Okay, brothers, stop being sad! Don't forget what you want to get."

But we are all men, there is no need to say more, and we will all work hard towards our goals.

"Snapped!"

Just like even if Park Chanyeol and Wang Jiaer are angrily smashing their wine glasses and covering their faces in the box at this moment, but when they appear in front of the camera tomorrow, they will still force a smile and tell the fans who still love them "It's okay".

As Wu Sehun exhaled the cigarette, Gong Cheng called the waiter and brought a few more bottles of foreign liquor. He decided to not go home until he was drunk.

"..."

After drinking some wine, Gong Cheng lay on the sofa, feeling that he still needed to say something, "Summer, let's return in the summer, brothers - next year... next year, let's start the Asian Tour..."

"Starting from Seoul, we'll go to Taipei, and then to Tokyo. If you're not too tired, we can add a performance in Osaka... and then to Bangkok..."

There were fallen wine bottles scattered on the table and broken glass on the floor. Jackson Wang and Park Chanyeol were drunk and no longer angry or sad. Instead, they listened to the words of the youngest member with tears and laughter.

"What happens after that?" Zhang Yixing asked after taking a sip of wine. Faced with the grand blueprint drawn up by the maknae, he wondered whether he should postpone his domestic schedule. In fact, he has filmed a lot of dramas and variety shows in the past two years, but what he wants most is to stand on the stage and sing.

"After that? We're going to fall in love!" Gong Cheng joked with a grin, "I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have promised someone that I would confess my love to her on the world's biggest stage, haha."

"Drunk talk?" Lin Yingxiong's eyelids twitched.

"Ani, maknae, what nonsense are you talking about? You can't do this." Park Chanyeol heard this and lay crookedly beside Gong Cheng, patting his chest, "See, I'm your lesson, you must hide well..."

"Just kidding. After the Asian Tour, I'm definitely going to a bigger stage! Go to New York, Los Angeles, Paris, London, and sing to screaming audiences. I don't want to perform in a small venue with too few people!"

Gong Cheng swallowed the wine and thought about the upcoming schedule, the production of the group's comeback album, and next month's Baeksang Arts Awards. If nothing unexpected happens, the annual Billboard Awards Ceremony will be at the end of next month, right?

The nominations should also be announced at the beginning of the month. Given Bombardment Meteor’s performance last year, the group should be nominated for some award, right?
"Chanyeol, Sehun, and Jackson, if we're going abroad to attend the Billboard Awards next month, let's all go together, seven of us."

Wu Sehun was stunned. He wanted to refuse to come. He had heard about the billboard incident, but as for the awards, last year's Bombardment Meteor had four members, so what would happen if only three of them went?

If they can win the award next year, they will definitely be willing to stand upright on the stage. In fact, what makes the three of them upset is a sentence that was spread on the Internet by many black fans.

Bombardment Meteor: "We were almost at the summit before you three got here..."

That's why they are under so much pressure!
Before they could refuse, Gong Cheng remembered a song he had written, which might require collaboration with foreign artists. He raised his bright eyes confidently and smiled earnestly at the members.

“Let’s start our climb to the summit from that day…”
