Peninsula: From Water Injection to Stardom

Chapter 176 Controversy

It started with "AIII Wanna Do" and ended with a new song, "Standing Net to You," paying tribute to MJ.

Jiang Yan's 30-minute Super Bowl live performance came to an end at this moment.

Amidst the continuous screams from the audience, he picked up the microphone to control the flow and wrap things up.

"Thank you NFL, thank you Minnesota, thank you to the best DJ behind me, thank you to all the staff here, and thank you to all of you who screamed for me."

"This is Jiangyan from China! I believe it won't be long before I see everyone again!!"

After saying these words, Jiang Yan smiled and waved goodbye to the audience, then turned and walked back to the backstage area.

Of course, he didn't forget to ask the DJ for his jacket before leaving.

Back in the lounge, the moment Jiang Zhennan saw him come in, he quickly draped a thick coat over him and asked with concern, "How are you feeling? You're not cold, are you?"

Jiang Yan shook his head: "I don't know, it should be alright, anyway I didn't feel cold during the performance."

He is not sure whether there will be any problems with his physical condition.

However, when he decided to create this controversial stage, he had considered the worst-case scenario: catching a cold and having to take a few days off.

But no matter what, even if he had to do it all over again, he would still do it without hesitation.

Jiang Yan wrapped his coat tighter around himself, picked up his thermos and took a few sips, trying to keep his body warm.

His team members started packing their things after he returned, and a few minutes later, the group quickly returned to the hotel.

They boarded a plane and left Minnesota in the afternoon.

This place is so cold. If it weren't for my performance at the Super Bowl, Jiang Yan would never have come.

As he boarded the plane, Jiang Yan's name had already climbed to 7th place on the US trending list on the internet.

This undoubtedly owes much to the efforts of the overseas marketing companies that Yuehua Entertainment has partnered with.

On Twitter, clips of Jiang Yan's tribute to MJ quickly spread, sparking discussions among countless overseas users.

"He captured MJ's unique rhythm so naturally; this performance was insane!"

"Many people imitate MJ, but this is not a bad imitation show. It pays tribute while retaining its own style."

"Am I the only one who noticed how outstanding this guy's live performance and dancing skills are? How many young male singers in America can achieve this level?"

"A truly outstanding tribute! That Moonwalk was so smooth, honestly, for a moment I even had the illusion that MJ had come back to life!"

"This is not just a simple tribute; he also put a lot of effort into producing a new song of high quality."

"I've already added this song to my playlist; it deserves it!"

"His attitude towards the performance is also respectable. At least I couldn't do it in such cold weather wearing only a vest."

"7

"He has a great physique and is obviously a very disciplined person. I admire his attitude."

"I think I'm already hooked on this Asian man, his damn charm is mesmerizing!"

'

As the buzz spread, a new nickname suddenly appeared on Twitter.

Asian MJ.

Initially, this was just a comment "casually" posted by a user from an unknown region.

For some reason, within just a few hours, more and more people started using it.

However, not everyone accepts this title.

Many die-hard MJ fans are clearly very sensitive to this, and they are quite unhappy with the nickname.

Hey! There's only one MJ!

"No one can be the second Michael Jackson."

"7

"He's just trying to gain public attention by imitating legends!!!"

There were many similar doubts, but as the discussion and conflict between the two voices increased, Jiang Yan's beauty ranking actually rose instead of falling, from seventh place to second place.

Many Americans who saw Jiang Yan's name for the first time were curious and took the initiative to search for his information.

And just like that, Jiang Yan's Instagram followers saw a huge surge that day.

Furthermore, song streaming on music platforms such as Spotify in the US, as well as music video views on YouTube, have also increased rapidly.

As Jiang Yan boarded the plane to Seoul.

At a filming location in Cheongdam-dong, all members of TWICE are filming the official calendar for the new year, arranged by the company.

The group photoshoot of the nine members was successfully completed half an hour ago; what remains is the individual photoshoot.

Limna, Chain, and the four maknae Line members were called to the studio by the staff as the first group to film. The remaining members who were not yet filming rested in the waiting room.

During this time, Hirai Momo opened a VLIVE to chat and interact with fans, while Minatozaki Sana happily joined in on camera.

Mina sat alone on one side, looking down and quietly playing on her phone with headphones on, while Jihyo and Jeongyeon sat on the other side of the sofa chatting.

However, after chatting for a while, the two of them each picked up their phones.

Park Ji-hyo originally just wanted to browse social media to see if there was any interesting news lately, but as soon as she opened Naver...

On the app's homepage, I saw that a South Korean media outlet had reposted a video released by the NFL showing Kang Yeon performing on stage during the Super Bowl LIVE.

"Unnie, look! Oppa's performance in America is already available on video!" Park Jihyo's eyes lit up as she quickly called out to Yoo Jeongyeon beside her.

"Qinjia?! There's already a video?!" Upon hearing this, Yu Dingyan, who was sitting next to her, immediately leaned closer.

"Hmm, judging from the length, it seems to be the full version."

As Park Jihyo spoke, she clicked on the video and watched it with Yoo Jeongyeon.

The video begins with a stage set up outdoors, and you can see fine snowflakes slowly falling from the sky.

Upon seeing this, Park Jihyo couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, it's still snowing over there!"

Yoo Jeong-yeon didn't speak; she focused intently on the screen.

In this shot, Jiang Yan, wearing a gray thin jacket, is already standing in the center of the stage.

Upon seeing this, Yu Dingyan unconsciously furrowed her brow slightly.

She naturally knew that artists shouldn't wear bulky clothes for the sake of stage effect, but even so, she still felt that Jiang Yan was dressed too thinly.

The video progress bar kept moving, and before we knew it, the stage had reached the last song.

When Park Jihyo saw Jiang Yan take off her coat and throw it to the DJ after giving her thank-you speech, she widened her eyes in shock and exclaimed, "Wow! Oppa, aren't you cold? It's snowing!"

However, her words did not receive a response from Yoo Jeong-yeon, who was standing next to her.

However, Park Ji-hyo was completely captivated by Kang Yeon's performance in the video and did not notice this somewhat unusual situation.

Only after the video finished playing did she exclaim with some lingering excitement, "Amazing! Oppa's stage performance was so cool! He was so steady even with all the vocals on."

After speaking, Park Jihyo turned around and prepared to share her thoughts on the stage with Yoo Jeongyeon.

However, the next second, she froze.

At this moment, Yu Dingyan's gaze was still fixed on the phone screen, but her eyes were slightly red, and there were even traces of moisture at the corners of her eyes.

Park Jihyo blinked, thinking she had misread it.

After carefully checking, she asked cautiously, with a surprised and puzzled tone, "Unnie, why are you crying?"
