HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 333 [333] Qi Yuan becomes a hot commodity in the eyes of South Korean actresses
When Tian Zhen, Xie Xiaodong, and other representatives from China took the stage, the audience's reaction was quite different; it could be described as somewhat subdued.

When Qi Yuan stepped onto the stage, the applause and cheers drowned out those of the South Korean singers who had come before her.

Tian Zhen was stunned. Was Qi Yuan's influence in South Korea really that strong?

In fact, Qi Yuan's previous Chinese albums sold quite well in South Korea, and he already had some South Korean fans.

Qi Yuan's last single swept the Japanese Oricon charts and gained her a wave of fans in South Korea, especially those who admire her looks.

This EP+ scandal has made Qi Yuan one of the most talked-about figures in South Korean entertainment news.

More South Korean girls got to know Qi Yuan. At first, they just thought he was handsome. After the English EP was released, they were also captivated by his talent and became his loyal fans.

These people are now frantically chanting Qi Yuan's name from below the stage.

Needless to say, the Chinese audience members were not going to lose to the South Koreans, and they were also shouting Qi Yuan's name loudly.

"May you be well! May you be well!"

Qi Yuan wore a dark red dress with faint dragon patterns embroidered on it, showcasing the understated beauty of the East, which perfectly matched the song "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales".

Qi Yuan lightly touched the microphone stand with his fingertips. With his handsome face and tall stature, he had already overshadowed the group of South Korean artists before he even spoke.

Compared to Qi Yuan, the South Korean artists who just took the stage all seemed rather petty.

The grand and majestic prelude emanated from the sound system, spreading to every corner of the venue.

The melodious pipa music and the powerful drumbeats complemented each other, instantly igniting the audience's emotions.

"I begin to depict this land, and the bloodline of the nation stretches for thousands of miles. Over the past six hundred years, the descendants of the dragon have weathered countless storms."

"This central axis of the capital region, like the unwavering integrity of a gentleman, with its glazed tiles on the Nine Dragon Wall, is where history has declined and risen again."

Qi Yuan's singing evoked a strong sense of belonging and pride in the Chinese people present.

Even South Koreans who can't understand the lyrics can hear about the long history and ancient stories.

The South Korean celebrities who weren't qualified to perform looked at Qi Yuan on stage with envy.

Among these celebrities are Song Hye-kyo and Han Chae-young, whose popularity has soared recently thanks to "Autumn in My Heart," and they are also paying attention to Qi Yuan.

"Eun-hee, do you want to ask Qi Yuan for an autograph later?"

Han Caiying tentatively asked Song Huiqiao a question.

In "Autumn in My Heart," Song Hye-kyo plays a character named Yoon Eun-hee, and she calls out Song Hye-kyo's character's name.

"I'm not interested in Chinese celebrities!"

Song Hye-kyo replied in a neutral tone.

"Me too. My colleague asked me to get her autograph. Now I think I'll just tell her I didn't run into Qi Yuan."

Han Caiying replied.

……

On stage, Qi Yuan sang the last chorus, and the dense high notes and extremely powerful angry voice gave countless people goosebumps.

"These dragon scales once fell to the ground with a clang like shattered ice. Each scale represents an inch of heart, and the story is so poignant that I cannot bear to hear it."

"People uphold propriety and keep their hearts at peace; the melodious sound of the guqin speaks of the gentleman's heart. I wait for the echo, lingering over the vast and magnificent Chinese civilization."

After the song was finished, the applause was as loud as firecrackers.

Following Qi Yuan's performance, South Korea's national-level singer In Soon-yi, who was the final performer, sang two songs.

Finally, all the singers went on stage together to sing "Love in Late Autumn," marking the successful conclusion of the second China-Korea Song Festival.

Qi Yuan went back and changed her clothes, preparing to leave. A tall girl blocked Qi Yuan's way at the entrance of the KBS building.

"Qi Yuan oppa, I'm your fan. My name is Han Caiying. You can call me by my English name, Rachel. Can you give me your autograph? I really like you."

Han Caiying had a bright and charming smile on her face. She spoke in English, except for the word "Oppa" which was in Korean.

Han Caiying immigrated to the United States with her family when she was 9 years old. She studied finance in Chicago and can communicate with Qi Yuan without any problems.

Qi Yuan was quite happy, finally meeting a beautiful South Korean female celebrity who speaks English.

Song Huiqiao, who rushed over, was furious when she saw Han Caiying chatting with Qi Yuan.

Damn it! Han Caiying is two-faced. She told me she wouldn't look for Qi Yuan, but she acted faster than me.

She went backstage to wait for Qi Yuan, but after asking a KBS staff member, she found out that Qi Yuan had left. Then she ran out and witnessed Han Chae-young chatting with Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan also noticed Song Huiqiao's presence and asked Han Caiying, "Your friend?"

Han Caiying shook her head repeatedly: "No, I don't know her."

Qi Yuan: "..."

The rivalry among female celebrities is indeed quite simple and straightforward!

He remembers these two people acting together, but he doesn't recognize them? Does he think he's never seen "Autumn in My Heart"?
Qi Yuan didn't point it out. He glanced at his watch and said, "My manager is coming to pick me up soon. It's a bit of a shame. I've never been to Seoul before and have never had an authentic Korean meal."

Han Caiying's eyes lit up, and she volunteered, "Oppa, I can be your guide. I know Seoul very well. I'll recommend a famous restaurant that will definitely let you taste delicious South Korean food."

She was just worried about not having a reason to continue her relationship with Qi Yuan.

"Thank you very much. You can be the guide, and I'll treat you to a meal."

While answering, Qi Yuan took out his phone and sent a text message to Zhang Hao, telling him not to pick him up.

Han Chae-young and Qi Yuan walked out of the KBS gate side by side, with the former not forgetting to turn back and give Song Hye-kyo a victorious look.

Song Hye-kyo was even angrier. So what if you know English?

She'll sign up for an English class later and practice her English properly.

She didn't go up just now because her English is too bad; she couldn't communicate normally with Qi Yuan at all. Expecting Han Caiying to be a translator? Dream on!
Shiba!

It seems this benefit will fall to Han Caiying.

Both Song Hye-kyo and Han Chae-young want to get close to Ki Won.

Besides Qi Yuan being handsome and talented, there is actually another more important reason.

Qi Yuan is currently very popular in South Korea, and everyone in South Korea knows that Qi Yuan rejected top star Lee Jung-hyun.

At this time, if a South Korean female celebrity could get close to Qi Yuan and a scandal were to break out, it would be a good opportunity.

From the outside perspective, this means that the female celebrity defeated the diva Lee Jung-hyun.

This surge in popularity is enough to make a newcomer famous overnight.

Otherwise, why were the three members of SES so enthusiastic towards Qi Yuan backstage? They all wanted to ride on the coattails of Qi Yuan and Lee Jung-hyun's popularity.

Qi Yuan didn't know any of this at first. He probed Han Caiying a few times while he was enjoying a proper Korean meal and guessed about 60-70% of it.

Qi Yuan himself never expected that he would inexplicably become a hot commodity in the eyes of many South Korean female celebrities. This can be considered a kind of good luck.
During his time in South Korea, even if Han Chae-young hadn't approached him, other female celebrities probably would have.

Qi Yuan, who was visiting South Korea for the first time, experienced the wickedness of the world. She felt like Tang Sanzang had fallen into the Spider Cave, where all sorts of demons, including spider demons, white bone demons, chicken demons, and fox demons, were after her.
