Peninsula: From Water Injection to Stardom

Chapter 143 Special Guest

The following day, in the morning, Jiang Yan led his team to Tianhe Stadium to meet up with the TARA team.

The original setlist was "LOVESCENARIO" plus a Chinese song duet with Park Ji-yeon.

However, Park Jiyeon recently mentioned in a chat that she didn't have enough time to practice the new Chinese songs during the tour, so Kang Yeon generously suggested that he sing two of them instead.

Backstage, the group was first led by staff to a lounge to rest and regroup.

A few minutes later, Park Jiyeon arrived with all the members of TARTA to say hello.

As soon as she entered, Park Jiyeon greeted her with a smile, "Kang Yan, you've finally arrived! You must be tired from your journey~"

She was very happy that Jiang Yan was able to come.

Previously, the other members of the group were worried that Jiang Yan might be unhappy to come because of her current status. After all, although Jiang Yan was already quite popular in South Korea when she extended the invitation, she was now popular in Europe and America.

After Park Jiyeon spoke, the other members behind her greeted her with smiles.

Jiang Yan stood up and greeted them one by one: "Jiyan, and TARRA seniors, it's been a long time."

Ham Eun-jung chimed in, "It has been a long time. The last time we met was at the TV station, wasn't it? That was several months ago."

Jiang Yan nodded and smiled, "Yes, but the seniors are still so beautiful, and the tour was a great success."

"Aigu, this achievement is nothing compared to yours. It's time for newcomers to take over."

Jeon Boram chimed in, her face showing a deep sense of emotion.

"No, I still have a lot of room for improvement."

Jiang Yan spoke very modestly, and in fact, that was indeed the case.

Sales, music charts, and concert tours are three key metrics for measuring a singer's overall success.

In Jiang Yan's eyes, his only outstanding quality right now is his audio source.

Although the sales of this comeback reached more than 20 copies, which sounds good, it is still not enough by his standards.

A tour is out of the question.

Therefore, Jiang Yan is now very clear that he still has a long way to go, and making it into the top 100 is just the beginning.

However, Jeon Boram's words are also true; the future does indeed belong to newcomers.

The achievements that second-generation girl groups, including Queen, were once so proud of will soon be surpassed by a newly emerging, popular girl group starting next year.

"You've just arrived, do you want to rest a bit more?" Park Jiyeon asked again.

"No need, let's start and finish as soon as possible." Jiang Yan didn't plan to wait any longer; he could start rehearsing at any time.

"Thank you for your trouble."

"That's not true."

After chatting with the entire TARA team for a while, they left the lounge and went to their rooms to prepare.

Jiang Yan tidied herself up and then left the room to go to the main stage for rehearsals.

The rehearsal process was very simple; it was just a matter of adjusting the performance equipment, testing the microphones and in-ear monitors, and then familiarizing ourselves with the stage.

He finished the rehearsal in half an hour, but after stepping off the stage, he didn't go straight back to the dressing room. Instead, he stood below the stage and watched Tara rehearse on stage next.

On the evening of December 19th, TARA's China tour concert in Guangzhou, broadcast live by Panda TV, officially began at 8 PM.

Jiang Yan could hear the enthusiastic shouts from the crowd even from his backstage dressing room.

Jiang Zhennan wasn't in his room; he had gone to the waiting area to watch the concert from a different perspective for free.

Jiang Yan didn't go; he was calmly styling his hair with Cody's help.

As a special guest, he did not wear a formal performance outfit, but simply wore a casual outfit sponsored by Valentino.

After all, he wasn't the main star of the concert, so he couldn't dress too flashy and steal the spotlight.

Soon, about an hour and a half into the performance, Jiang Yan received a notification and went to the elevator.

A dozen minutes later, on the front stage, Park Jiyeon had just finished her solo performance of "One Minute One Second".

However, just one minute after she left the stage, the black backdrop used for the dance performance was not removed by the staff.

The stage lights gradually dimmed, and several bright white spotlights shone simultaneously onto the black wall from different angles.

The trapped people didn't know what was going to happen yet, but they would soon find out.

Because the next moment, the wall collapsed abruptly.

Behind the wall, the moment Jiang Yan appeared, the audience reacted in two completely different ways.

No one knew that there would be special guests at this concert, because there was no prior announcement from the organizers.

Those who knew Jiang Yan were excited and exclaimed that Crown was awesome for managing to invite Jiang Yan over.

Those who didn't recognize Jiang Yan looked bewildered when they saw many fellow fans suddenly stand up and shout excitedly, wondering who this very famous-looking person standing on the stage was.

All the unfamiliar Chinese fans here come from the e-sports circle. They all became fans of TARA through non-KPOP channels and don't usually follow Weibo or fandoms.

These people originally wanted to ask the middle-aged people around them about the singer on stage, but soon, a piece of music that sounded very familiar to them entered their ears.

On stage, Jiang Yan immediately began singing amidst cheers after taking the stage.

When the weather turns cool in autumn

When the leaves turn yellow

"Our love has become grand and dignified."

"Who is afraid of the other getting hurt, afraid of losing their stance?"

"The show has begun, but they haven't learned how to end it yet."

The song "LOVESCENARIO" is now widely popular in lower-tier cities in China, similar to BIGBANG's "IF".

"YOU" is also a song that has broken into the mainstream.

It's a song that even YY Voice's singing streamers always sing when they sing Korean songs.

When Jiang Yan sang the second chorus on stage, many middle-aged people started humming along.

Those who didn't know Jiang Yan before were immediately surprised.

They've all heard this song before. So he's the original singer of this song?!

A few minutes later, as the music ended, Jiang Yan finished performing her first song.

The screams from the audience grew louder and louder at the same time.

After Jiang Yan finished singing, she smiled and calmly held up the microphone, jokingly saying, "Hello everyone, some of you may not know me, so let me formally introduce myself, I am..."

However, before he could finish speaking, many people below the stage had already shouted his name, and they did so in a very unified manner.

At this moment, Zhongkun, who knows Jiang Yan, felt that today's event was well worth it. Not only did he hear TARA perform "Completely Crazy" in Chinese, but he also saw the popular singer Jiang Yan make a surprise appearance as a special guest.

I can't even imagine how high the ticket prices would have been if this news had been released in advance.

I'm afraid that after tonight, some scalpers who got the news will be in trouble.
