The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 192: MIC Drop

[Story & Pain——It is ongoing]

After the MV of the pre-release song "Been Through" was completed, the first hour of the song's audio data ranked first on major music websites such as melon, bugs, genie, soribada, etc.

"Big deal! The pre-release song is sold out on all major music websites?" In the lounge backstage at Music Bank, Tzuyu sat in front of the mirror, letting makeup artist Nuna put on her makeup, while Chaeyoung next to her was holding her phone and checking the real-time data of "Been Through".

"Isn't the number of listeners in the first hour too terrifying? Isn't it being blacklisted by the entire Internet?" Yu Jeongyeon stared at the data updated in real time by some bloggers in amazement. The number of plays and likes in the first hour was even more exaggerated than the data of any previous group's new song.

"But the quality of the songs is really amazing. Oppa is such a strong group."

In Yu Jeongyeon's opinion, the vocals of several people in this pre-release song of "Let It Be" are impeccable, especially Gong Chenghe's singing and the harmony with Lin Yingxiong and Lay. The ethereal and pleasant sound carries a sense of redemption, like a ray of light shining into the dark abyss.

Transforming the pain and sadness in the lyrics into strength and motivation to move forward is in line with the Oppa's usual producer style.

"That's right. Even without mentioning Oppa, just Oh Sehun, Park Chanyeol, and Park Jae-bum... those guys are all very popular male artists." Kim Da-hyun nodded in agreement, then she opened the comment section of the song and frowned.
"But, the comments section is so harsh, isn't it? This song is so sincere!"

Bai Doufu really likes this song. It is very healing to listen to. The harmony of the oppa weaves through the sad and dull pianist, like the horn of dawn, warm and sincere.

But people in the comment section actually said, "Wow! Is the artillery group playing the victim?"

"A lyrical song, do you also want to reach the top?"

"The pain is ongoing? Ah Xi! How can you say that? Park Chanyeol, when you and Jackson Wang were dating girls, did you ever consider the pain we fans would suffer?"

"Damn it! You, the new runner-up, betrayed us, Ellie and XO. Don't you think our Ellie isn't suffering?"

"A great lyric song was born! Great!"

"Oppa, hold on! Go to the top, go to the top!"

"Go to hell with the artillery group! Just because a song sounds good doesn't mean the person is okay!"

"..."

Minatozaki Sana worriedly deleted the comments section. "Bombardment Meteor's popularity is too poor right now. Even Miya Makoto's influence alone can't hold up."

"Ah! I really don't know what the public thinks?" Lin Nayeon sat on the sofa angrily. "They clearly won an award on Billboard today..."

"Their fan base internationally is still very solid, but it's not so...stable in China?" Ming Jingnan looked through the comments and didn't know how to describe the current domestic trend.

Many fans in Europe, America and other Asian countries on Instagram and YouTube are still very optimistic and looking forward to Bombardment Meteor's comeback, but it is hard to say for domestic fans.

They have been targeted and slandered by the media and fans of rival brands for a long time, which has ruined their popularity among the public in China. The main reason is that the news of the two brothers' romance has caused many fans to collapse and turn love into hate.

Although the music performance of the pre-released song has surpassed the data of a large number of groups' comebacks, the latest trend among the fans of various groups is so ridiculous that they compare this pre-released song with Gong Cheng's champion single on the B chart.

Basically what I want to express is that no matter whether it is Miya Makoto or Bombardment Meteor, as long as this comeback cannot be on par with the performance of Miya Makoto's first regular album, then it will be a failure!
"When will Oppa come back?" Zhou Ziyu pursed her lips and stood up from the makeup mirror and asked softly.

Lin Nayeon casually said while holding her phone, "He, in a couple of days, he said he's planning to go off-roading in the desert tomorrow. He's really carefree..."

Yu Jeongyeon, who was sitting next to her, nodded, then suddenly turned her head to stare at her friend seriously, as if thinking about something.

……

The next day in Las Vegas, the weather was so hot that Kim Dae-woo's cheeks under his sun hat were covered with sweat.

He pushed up his sunglasses and drove his jeep behind the seven off-road vehicles in front of him. The air conditioning in the car was completely useless.

In my sight, a hand stretched out from the driver's window of a car, and under the speed of the car and the scorching sun, it pinched in the air.

Gong Cheng honked the horn and stopped the car in the desert. The convoy behind him stepped on the brakes one after another. He opened the car door and took off his sunglasses. The sweltering heat made him take off his T-shirt. Bare-chested, he shouted to the members behind him, "Here we are, bro?"

They planned to camp in the desert today, with alcohol, food and a set of tents stuffed in the trunk.

"Anio, hyung, after finally coming out to play, do you still want to take pictures?" Gong Cheng looked at Kim Dae-woo holding a handheld camera and the bodyguards behind him, smiled helplessly, turned around and threw the T-shirt in his hand on the driver's seat in the car.

"What are you talking about?" Jin Dae-woo protested, feeling a little aggrieved at being misunderstood. He then explained with emotion, "This is youth! I just filmed it for you to record, like writing a diary."

"Whenever I think back on it, I can look it up and watch it. It won't be filmed into a group variety show or something messy, and it won't be released."

"Great! I agree with Dayu-ge's idea!"

"I agree!"

"Anyway, it won't be released! The company probably wouldn't dare release it either, right?" Jackson Wang took a bottle of wine out of the trunk, walked in front of the camera, made a face, and shouted, "Shit, Shit, Media!"

Seeing that the members didn't object and were actually cheerful, Gong Cheng smiled and said, "Ah~ Brother Dayu, it's rare to see you say such profound words! Do you have many regrets from your youth?"

"What do you mean?" Jin Dayu took out a cigarette guiltily and put it in the corner of his mouth.

"Because of the sour smell of youth pain literature, I really can't stand you." Gong Cheng took off his shoes, stepped barefoot on the golden gravel, and took out a football with black and white lines and a volleyball with blue and white outlines from the trunk.

Before he could ask the members, "Football or volleyball, let's be happy together~" the phone in his trouser pocket rang.

The contact number of [Halsey].

"..."

After a brief conversation, Gong Cheng hung up the phone with a smile and sent the number he had just saved to Jin Daewoo beside him. "Brother, the song collaboration has been discussed. You need to discuss the details with your agent."

"But let's wait until tomorrow. Today is our day off."

"Mangnae, stop being lazy and come help me set up the tent." Lin Yingxiong stood in the camp they had chosen, laboriously setting up the tent in the desert. He looked extremely troubled by the project.

"Didn't you say you were talented at setting up tents?"

"..."

After about two hours of hard work, the tents were set up in the camp. Under the huge parasols, there were barbecue grills and sun loungers. The long folding table was piled with ingredients, fast food, and drinks.

Gong Cheng kicked the football to Wang Jiaer beside him, moved a small stool and sat near a cactus patch next to the camp. The cacti were growing quite well, some standing like pillars in the desert, and the flat branches growing on the left and right of the rhizomes were like lookouts guarding the desert.

He couldn't help but take out his phone to take a picture of the cactus and sent it to Twice's group chat, "Look what I found?"

Kim Dahyun: [Isn’t it just a cactus?]

Jeongyeon: [Have you ever been to the desert?]

Minazaki Saka: [……]

"Daxian is right, but it's a cactus that's taller than you (cactus emoji)" Gong Cheng added with a smile, "If you don't believe me, I'll dig one up and give it to you. You can compare them. If you plant it, it might grow taller in the future..."

"Isn't it your birthday soon, Dahyun? Do you want this gift?"

Kim Da-hyun: [……]

Son Chaeyoung: [……]

Chou Tzuyu: [How tall is it now, Oppa?]

Gong Cheng curled his lips and thought, "Are the members all boring? Not humorous at all. Tzuyu is still the best, she's interesting." "Now, I measured myself, I think I'm almost 170cm?"

Lim Nayeon: [……]

Yu Jeongyeon: [……]

Mingnan: [……]

Chou Tzuyu: [That’s about the same height as me~ (laughing wildly)]

"That's about right, so it feels very strange! (grinning)" An adventurer exploring the world discovered a strange plant and wanted to share it with others, but Gong Cheng felt that it seemed that only Tzuyu could experience this joy and novelty with him, Gong Cheng.

Mingjing Nan: [Can you two chat privately? ]

Momo Hirai: [If that’s the case, it seems like everyone except Tzuyu and Oppa is not as tall as a cactus? (Sad)]

Minatozaki Sana: [Momo-chan, you shut up too! (Angry)]

Kim Dahyun: [Oppa, if you dare to bring the cactus back, I will break up with you! ]

"What are you doing?" Gong Cheng sat on a small stool, looked at the lush green cactus in front of him, and then explained, "Don't you think the cactus has a good meaning, Duoxian?"

"Da Hyun, you should grow like a cactus! How wonderful! (I feel wronged)"

Kim Da-hyun: [……]

Son Chaeyoung: [……]

"Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore. It's going to be dark in the desert soon. I'll show you the stars at night." Gong Cheng stood up, took a small stool, and poured the whiskey in his hand on the roots of the cactus to water them.

"I heard the stars in the desert are very bright, I'll deduct 1 for the reservation. If no one wants to watch it, I'll watch it with Tzuyu in a private chat (arrogant)"

Mingnan:【1】

Chou Tzu-yu: [1]

【1】x9
Gong Cheng closed the phone screen with satisfaction, turned around and came to the smoking Wu Sehun, who was busy sprinkling spices on the skewers. In one go, he handed Gong Cheng a skewer of freshly grilled meat.
"Taste it."

"Clang~"

The sound of wine bottles clinking ushers in dusk in the desert, and the endless waves of sand are covered by the setting sun. The golden wine in the mug, refracted by the setting sun, reveals smiles that shine brighter than gold.

"Brother Dayu, can you have a couple more drinks?"

"Oh, with such a big beer belly, how come there is only this much?"

"I'm almost forty, how can I compare to you young people?"

"Where's your camera, Brother Dayu? Come take a picture of me? Under the sunset..."

"..."

The night fell completely, and darkness swept across the sea of ​​sand like waves of wheat. The stars rising in the sky flickered, sometimes bright and sometimes dimmed, as if blinking their eyes, which was very charming.

Gong Cheng lay slightly tipsy on a beach chair, sipping whiskey from a straw. Lin Yingxiong sighed bitterly beside him. "Tell me, how far do we have to go before we're recognized?"

"It's a bit cold~" Wu Sehun curled up on the recliner, then stood up and took a sip of the hot foreign wine. He went to the trunk, took out a box of blankets that had been prepared long ago, and threw them to the members.

Kim Dae-woo sat at the dining table behind them, biting a cigar. The fallen wine bottles and food made a mess, and the expensive wine flowed into the desert. He was holding a cigar prepared by Park Jae-fan, which was said to be the famous Cuban brand Cohiba Cigars.

Looking at the children lying in front of him and tightening their blankets, Jin Dae-woo puffed out a thick smoke ring - Bombardment Meteor is like the temperature difference between day and night in the desert. It is so hot during the day that you can drink with your arms wide open, and it is so cold at night that it is unbearable.

This temperature difference is more like a gap.

"Come back soon, I can't wait." Wu Sehun reclined back in his chair and said something harsh, "By the way, has the album title been decided yet?"

"It's settled."

"what is it call?"

"'Bottom of the Ninth Inning'." Gong Cheng took a sip of the alcohol flowing from the straw, then turned and smiled at Lin Yingxiong. "Brother, you should know what I mean, right? Don't you like playing baseball?"

"What's the name of the first regular series?" Lin Yingxiong asked knowingly. After getting Gong Cheng's nod, he said, "Okay, it really fits our current situation."

Gong Cheng looked at the members' expressions. Some understood the meaning of the word, while others didn't. So he explained, "Bottom of the ninth inning, a sports term."

"In baseball, unless the score is tied, it usually ends in nine innings. Each inning is divided into two halves, with the two teams switching offense and defense after each half inning... Basically, in the last half inning of regular time in a baseball game, the home team attacks, representing their last chance to turn the game around..."

"The charm of the bottom of the ninth inning is that it allows seemingly impossible things to remain at least theoretically possible. Once the home team wins in the bottom of the ninth inning, it's almost a major comeback. It makes the opposing fans, celebrating, fall back into their seats!"

After a brief explanation, Gong Cheng took out his mobile phone, flipped the camera, pointed it at the stars in the night sky, took two photos of the starry sky, and sent them to Twice's group chat.

……

On May 23, public opinion about the Bombardment Meteor in Seoul was still fermenting, and the leak of a photo brought the farce to a new climax.

[Revelation! Lin Yingxiong and his girlfriend have been secretly dating for a year!]

[Explode! Lin Yingxiong...]

【Bombardment Meteor is refreshing the bottom line of K-pop! 】

The photos released by the media this time were extremely clear, and the long text accompanying the photos explained that the photos were taken a month ago. The reason for not releasing them yet may be because they wanted to "boil the frog in warm water" and pull Bombardment Meteor off the altar.

The date of exposure happened to be just two days after the group's pre-release song was released and won a major award on Billboard. As a result, the popularity of Park Chanyeol and Jackson Wang had dissipated a little in the past few days, but because of this incident, the popularity has been ignited again.

"Go to hell, artillery group! Three of them have been hammered! Next one is Park Jae-bum!"

"Why not hammer Tarot?"

"Shit! Are you trying to destroy the pride of the Great Cold Nation? Besides, someone like Tarot has never been in a relationship, so he's worthy of suspicion, right?"

"Fuck! 7 people in a group! Park Chanyeol, Wang Jiaer, and Lin Yingxiong are all confirmed! Park Jae-bum and Oh Se-hun aren't good people either. Although there's no confirmed evidence, only Zhang Yixing is honest. But I heard he had a girlfriend in China before they broke up?"

"There's only one Tarot left. He's been in constant scandal since his debut, and his ex-girlfriend is public! Can the Pao Tuan die without dating? Do you think you'll suffer if you don't? Bullshit!"

"..."

SM's trainee department, "Executive Dragon" Liu Zhimin, looked at the online abuse and felt her chest tremble with anger! She felt that since she became a fan of Gong Cheng oppa, she has been suffering a lot!
"What's wrong with dating? What's wrong with Oppa having an ex-girlfriend? Don't say that your brother has never had a scandal since his debut. Where is your mother?! I suggest you wear a mask next time you go to his fan meeting to be careful of HIV. If he's not in a relationship, he might be gay. Full of gay love!"

"Damn these bastards!" Liu Zhimin clenched his fists in anger and pounded the sofa.

Kim Min-woong, who was standing by, was so frightened that her eyebrows jumped. She didn't dare to say anything. Every time this happened, the sister in front of her would have a very bad temper and explode at the slightest provocation. She didn't dare to provoke her!
However, she still obediently followed Liu Zhimin's instructions, and posted insults to Gong Cheng and Bombardment Meteor in the comment section of each popular post, taking screenshots and sending them to the "Executive Department" of the fan club.

Let professionals come and clean the floor...

……

On May 24, the Bombardment Meteor team flew back to Seoul.

In front of the terminal building of Incheon International Airport, media and reporters armed with cameras swarmed in and surrounded the seven people. Kim Dae-woo and his agents and security guards were squeezed by the crowd and could not move.

Microphones were placed near Lin Yingxiong's lips, and some even grabbed his sleeves and pulled, "Lin Yingxiong, can you tell me about your love life?"

"Tarot, the frequent scandals involving Bombardment Meteor members, do they affect you personally?"

Gong Cheng turned away the microphone at hand, and his tall figure and Wu Shixun walked to Lin Yingxiong's side. He grabbed the strange wrist that was pulling at Lin Yingxiong's sleeve and said, "Let go!"

The six people quickly surrounded Lin Yingxiong and walked forward with difficulty, facing the microphones that were handed to their mouths.

Jin Dae-woo looked at the microphone that was already pressed against the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but push away the reporter in front of him, saying angrily, "I think the media should have enough respect for Bombardment Meteor!"

"Why? I hope you can look directly at their achievements! Look directly at their popularity and reputation around the world! Instead of returning home and being…"

……

Bombardment Meteor shows up at the airport, gets a cold shoulder from Tarot, and even shoves a reporter!

Agent: I think the media lacks respect for Bombardment Meteor!

[A campaign against Bombardment Meteor is beginning to unfold...]

……

At night, Park Jin-young and Lee Soo-man rarely came together and booked a celebration banquet at a hotel in Gangnam.

Celebrating Bombardment Meteor's triumphant return to the Billboard Hot 100, even though the media's ugly behavior when they returned home made them look like soldiers returning from a crushing defeat.

After the two presidents left, Gong Cheng and his friends started the second game and headed straight to the club in Jiangnan.

As for the outside media? Whatever.

Despite all the criticism and criticism, their pre-release song "Been Through" has been ranked number one on major music websites and hasn't dropped down since then. Lin Yingxiong has no intention of breaking up with his current girlfriend and then publicly apologizing on his official website.

He quite liked the woman he'd been dating for over a year. Gong Cheng and the others had met her many times and had expressed their support for his decision. Besides, what was there to apologize for? So he just let it go.

……

May 26th, in JYP's recording studio.

Gong Cheng sat in front of the computer with a serious expression, listening to the song "MIC Drop" recorded by the members in his headphones.

The song was written by us brothers when we were drunk on the night we returned to Seoul. It was mainly freestyle improvisation with a black bubble style. Everyone agreed that the song was good, so Gong Cheng casually used an arrangement he had made before.

I recorded it today in a hurry and plan to release it online as a single.

Park Jin-young sat on a chair nearby. After listening to the song, he turned around and looked at all the members of Bombardment Meteor. "Are you sure it's going to be released?"

"After going online, concentrating your firepower might be more effective..."

"Send." Gong Cheng nodded briefly and concisely.

"Ani, pdnim, we've been scolded so much. Whatever we do is wrong anyway. We might as well live up to our reputation." Wang Jiaer took a sip of coffee unhappily. Those media and rival fans were just endless.

"Post it, pdnim, or I'll be so upset I won't be able to sleep." Park Jae-bum said seriously, then turned around and patted Park Chanyeol and Wang Jiaer on the shoulders, "Everyone doesn't care anymore, we just want to let off some steam!"

Park Chanyeol nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then we'll go online tonight or tomorrow." Park Jin-young smiled at the determined crowd, "Don't put so much pressure on yourself. I believe that after you return, public opinion will shut up."

"Anio, there's no use keeping your mouth shut! We are not that broad-minded..." Gong Cheng shook his head and rubbed his dizzy temples.

……

The next day, at twelve o'clock at night.

JYP, SM, and four other agencies jointly released a promotional announcement for the single's release on their official websites: [Bombardment Meteor's latest single "MIC Drop" has been released on major music sites. Welcome to listen. The song's arrangement is by Tarot, and the lyrics were written by all members...]

After a brief introduction to the song, JYP released a photo.

In the picture, more than ten group trophies related to Bombardment Meteor are neatly arranged in Gong Cheng's not-so-large composing studio. Most of them were won at major award ceremonies at the end of last year, and the best social artist trophy in the middle was won two days ago.

"Oh my! Have you guys released a single yet? Why aren't you promoting it yet? Damn Park Jin-young and Lee Soo-man!"

"Is publicity effective? The artillery group should quickly figure out how to do public relations."

"..."

After a series of comments, many anti-black fans and fans went to major music websites to search for "MIC Drop".

Park Lirong sat on the sofa at home, with the white wall behind her covered with posters of EXO from different periods - she had just searched for a single, clicked on it to play, listened to the warning prelude that sounded like a mechanical failure, and went straight to the comment section.

Typed "It's terrible! The whole song makes me want to vomit! Die to the artillery group!"

After sending it, she left contentedly, then took a screenshot of the song's name and sent it to the group chat "Broken Wing Plan" on Kakao.

In the headphones, the low and rhythmic bass sounded like rolling thunder, and the oppressive drum beats made Park Lirong focus on the song itself. She wanted to hear what level the new song of the running group was!
"They're incompetent and furious! Like undercooked steaks!"

"As my meal! I will chew you up slowly!"

She knew immediately from the familiar voice that the singer of this part was the "traitor" Park Chanyeol!

But the lyrics don't sound right. Who's so impotent and furious?
Park Lirong opened the lyrics of the song with a grim expression and started to look through them.

“When it comes to world business, we are the core!”

"First in line for invitation, sales are a slam dunk!"

"You pray for our demise! But I'm afraid that won't happen!"

"..."

"Shit? Is the artillery group crazy? Doesn't they want to live anymore?" Park Lirong gritted her teeth as she stared at the glaring lyrics on the screen and Gong Cheng's catchy and magnetic voice.

“Our concert was packed~”

"A backpack filled with dazzling trophies~"

"Those haters are already scratching their heads!"

"Our success shines with golden light!"

Gong Cheng's voice follows the beat flying track closely, and the frivolous and disdainful rap seems to jump and flicker on the deep background created by the bass. In it, one can faintly catch the sound effects of sampled gunshots, a few "bang bang" sounds, short and powerful.

"Damn it! Tarot! Do you want to die too?" Park Lirong was shaking with anger. The gunshots in the sample seemed to pull her into the world of the song. Wasn't the black fan who was named referring to her herself?
"Bang!" The sound of the gunshot seemed to shoot her on the spot!

"I have countless trophies in my hand."

"It's so heavy that I can't even lift it with my hands~ Oh yeah~"

Park Jae-bum's funny voice sounded, and the dense drum beats fell like raindrops.

"Which country are you going to this time?"

"How many hours will the flight take?"

"..."

The voices of Lim Young-woong, Oh Se-hun, Wang Jiaer, and Zhang Yixing appeared one after another, and the lyrics that were sung loudly and close to Park Li-young's face almost broke her defense. She angrily opened the comment section, and her fingers moved faster than at night.

"Shit! The worst boy band in the world is Bombardment Meteor! Are you blatantly contradicting me? A bunch of trashy bastards! Want to be famous, huh?"

At the same time, the number of comments in the comment section soared instantly, and it was not just the few insults that Park Lirong edited in succession.

The chaotic comment section is occupied by fans of various groups, and the words following Bombardment Meteor are mostly disgusting insults and anger!
"I have nothing to say to you, no need to apologize to me~"

"Look at how you guys are finished~"

"We are unstoppable ~ like champagne ~"

"Coming with great force and murderous intent~"

The singing of Lin Yingxiong and Zhang Yixing pushed the hook chorus to the end. Park Lirong swiped up the lyrics on the screen, wanting to take a screenshot of the lyrics that were right next to her face, immediately!

Go to major forums and post to denounce the "crimes" of these men!
She first sent screenshots of the lyrics to the fans in the "Broken Wings Plan" group chat, just in case they weren't already aware of the current situation. "Sisters! The Pao Tuan is absolutely mad! I can't stand it! A bunch of bastards think that just because they won an award abroad, they can..."

In the headphones, after the brief sound of flowing electricity ended, the silent world seemed like a thick fog, dark and silent.

Two seconds later, Gong Cheng's voice suddenly rang out from the darkness. His tone seemed to carry a warm smile. "Hmm? The Broken Wings Plan?"

"Inside, the Broken Wing Plan..." Wu Sehun's voice.

"I heard there's a fight between eight parties?" Zhang Yixing said.

"Oh, there are so many houses!" Park Chanyeol...

"What are they?" Park Jae-Bum asked.

"I can't count them all, brother..." Lin Yingxiong.

"Sounds like the whole world?" Jackson Wang.

In the hazy and silent darkness of the headphones, seven intertwined voices had a brief conversation, and then a burst of laughter rang out at the same time, "kkkkk~"

The laughter was so soft that the interweaving laughter did not sound noisy or jarring to Park Lirong, who was wearing headphones. However, those gentle laughters sounded extremely harsh to her! It was like sarcasm mixed with disdain and naked contempt!
Especially the opening voice! Tarot! Such frustrating and infuriating words uttered beneath a warm laugh!
Park Lirong took off her headphones and slammed her phone down. The laughter of the people in the artillery group was simply disgusting!
"Shit!!!"

"You're dead, you bastards!"

……

One hour after the release of "MIC Drop", Bombardment Meteor's single was pushed to No. 2 on the charts of major music websites due to terrifying audio data, ranking below the pre-released song "Let It Be".

Many of the "stargazers" who support the meteor bombing actually hope that this song, which is like a "diss", can reach No. 1, so that those black fans and antis can have a good look!
This bullshit "Broken Wing Plan" and "Eight-Party Fight" are of no use to oppas!
The oppas' singing inspired them and filled them with passion, like a signal gun being fired on a battlefield. They began to attack fiercely! Attack fiercely again! They pressed forward fearlessly, without fear!

Bombardment Meteor has been under nearly two months of online violence, and they are also afraid that the members will become depressed, discouraged, and depressed, or suffer both psychological and physical harm due to negative external insults and comments.

In the previous leaked photos, they all felt that the oppas were in a bad state...

……

The next day, after "MIC Drop" fermented overnight, many black fans organized a boycott alliance. The huge team held up banners and came to the JYP building. The red paint on the long white banner looked like dripping blood.

【Bombardment Meteor! Disband! 】

[You're playing the victim! Are you pissed off? Bombardment Meteor! Get lost!]

In addition to the boycotting crowd, many passers-by filmed this scene and posted it online - so an hour later, another large group of people holding banners gathered downstairs of JYP.

The long white banner was painted with colorful words that conveyed heartwarming sentiments.

[Bombardment Meteor! Big comeback! Oppas, support us and work hard! Don't be afraid!]

【Keep going with determination! 】

However, their numbers were far outnumbered by the increasing number of black fans who gathered beside them. Among them were fans from various fan groups, including EXO, GOT7, and BLACKPINK...

After calling the police, JYP security managed to maintain order.

The moment the sirens sounded, the two groups of people below the building threw away their banners and started fighting, pulling each other's hair...

"Shit! You bastards! I'm going to rip your mouths apart!"

"Sisters, it's that GOT7 fangirl who maliciously photoshopped the pictures of the oppas!"

……

A large-scale brawl broke out among Bombardment Meteor fans...

What is the worst boy band reputation? Romance, alcoholism, fan fights, diss songs, scandals, infidelity, cheating, revealing the worst boy bands in history.

"..."

On May 28, there were still a lot of people and media gathered downstairs of JYP.

However, there were far fewer fights than on the day of the fight, and the company's security could barely maintain order.

At the end of the get off work day, Bombardment Meteor and his team walked out of the company. They were no longer surprised by the scenes and insults downstairs, but they saw a small group of "stargazers" gathered on the road on the left.

Everyone thought about it, hesitated, and decided to go up and say hello, hoping that they would go home soon.

On the road cordoned off by security, Gong Cheng stood in front of the cordon, looking at the unyielding faces in front of him, "It's getting dark, go home and rest, we're fine."

"I won't! Oppa! Let's wait until the people on the other side leave, then we can go!" A little girl holding a cheering sign stood like a standard-bearer and answered!
"Ani, your family will be worried. Be obedient and go back soon." Gong Cheng picked up a pen and signed autographs for the dedicated fans in front of him together with the other members. He also received many envelopes of encouragement.

But he didn't even look at the crowd behind him who were still shouting.

……

In the evening, after Gong Cheng separated from the members of Bombardment Meteor, he looked at the location on his phone and arrived at a hotel in Mapo District.

Today is Kim Da-hyun's birthday. Bunny Girl and Yu Jeong-yeon came downstairs to pick him up, and the three of them went into the box together.

"Birthday present, Dahyun."

Gong Cheng gave the gift box in his hand to Kim Dahyun. The black packaging bag made people feel that the gift was very big.

"Isn't it a cactus? Or something weird?" Kim Da-hyun wore the small crown that came with the cake, frowning with some caution. She quite liked last year's gift, the camera.

But this guy has even given away tattoo stickers before, so it's possible that he would give away a cactus...

"Ani, you don't like it, am I crazy? I'm giving you something you don't like." Gong Cheng sat next to Ming Jingnan and Zhou Ziyu in a bad mood. Then, seeing her expression of disbelief, he said helplessly, "Then open it and take a look?"

"I saw this while shopping in Las Vegas with Sehun and the others. It's a women's watch that should suit you."

After hearing what he said, Kim Da-hyun opened the gift with peace of mind, put on the watch and adjusted the size of the strap.

"Good taste, right?" Gong Cheng chuckled as he poured a glass of boiled water, took a sip, and then looking at Kim Da-hyun's happy expression, he felt relieved.

After all, this piece of tofu is still my good soldier! I must reward him well!
"Oppa, you guys have really become the villains now!"

Zhou Ziyu leaned back in her chair with a frown, staring at the trending searches on her phone and pointed at the picture on it.

Gong Cheng glanced at it and smiled, "These media outlets are really quick. I just came from the company, and what happened on my way home from get off work has become a hot topic." He shrugged his shoulders.

Ming Jingnan curiously leaned over and stared at Zhou Ziyu's phone screen.

Gong Cheng and the others in the picture really have a feeling that everyone is their enemy. They are standing in front of a small group of people, signing autographs for fans, while the huge crowd and raised banners behind them are higher than their heads.

"It seems that this kind of influence can't be erased even if we reach the top?" Minatozaki Sana stood behind Miya Makoto and rubbed his hair with her hands.

"Sana-chan, stop touching me!" Gong Cheng pushed her hand away, then looked at the serious expressions of everyone at the table and rolled his eyes speechlessly, "It's our Daxian's birthday, can you please not talk about this?"

"Anyway, this kind of thing has been going on for a while now, so it doesn't really have any impact. The sound source is still stable, and the album will sell well."

He took a sip of water and calmly explained the current situation, hoping that the members would not worry too much about Bombardment Meteor.

"Yeah, let's eat." Yu Jeongyeon stood up and put candles on the cake, indicating to the members that today was the birthday of Dahyun, one of the youngest members, and they should be happy.

At the same time, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. What this brother said was absolutely right. Although the outside world seemed to be full of Bombardment Meteor haters, their pre-released songs and singles were still popular.

Stable music performance? Maybe that's what this guy calls stable, but to other groups, it's explosive! Their sudden arrival at number one on the charts was previously held by the title song from their fourth mini-album, released this month by Twice.

They just kicked me down with a light and effortless kick...

……

On June 2, Gong Cheng finished working on the song in the composing room and came to Park Jin Young's office.

"Xiao Cheng, this month you and Twice are releasing a re-album together and debuting in Japan!" Park Jin Young sat on a chair, smiling as he talked about his upcoming plans. "Also, what do you think about holding the family concert in Japan?"

Gong Cheng glanced at the brother and said, "I'll listen to you, Brother Zhenying."

Anyway, at the family concert, it was probably just this guy jumping up and down! I don't think it has anything to do with these artists.

"How's the first album in the series going?" Park Jin Young nodded and smiled as he turned his attention to Bombardment Meteor's comeback plan.

"Production is almost finished, so let's set the release date at the end of the month." Gong Cheng lay on the sofa and expressed his thoughts thoughtfully, "Brother, if the third album in the series has two English tracks and goes to the US, isn't that a bit too big a step?"

Considering the current public opinion and the pressure on the members, if the results of this comeback cannot completely break the ceiling of K-pop groups, these media and haters will not stop.

Gong Cheng is very clear about this, so he has been troubled by the production of songs for the third series recently.

"That song 'Once Loved' and..." Park Jin Young analyzed it carefully, but before he finished, Gong Cheng shook his head and said, "Forget it. It's only a matter of time before the group goes to the US."

"It's either sooner or later. Increase the production budget, Jinyoung!"

It had been a long time since Park Jin-young had seen the boy in front of him look so troubled. He then nodded with a smile, "I've seen your plan. Let's do it. It's very interesting 'Bottom of the Ninth Inning'. Let's have a big comeback."

Gong Cheng stood up and put on the baseball cap that was weighing down his hair backwards...
