Peninsula: From Water Injection to Stardom

"Alright everyone, that's the end of the science lesson. I won't go into the last level yet; we can talk about it another time."

Jiang Yan casually brought the topic to a forced close.

Actually, there was another reason why he didn't say it.

Because ultra-realistic pre-recording, also known as multi-track pre-recording, is a groundbreaking technology that is not yet available.

This will only happen after YG releases a world-class four-member girl group.

So even if he speaks now, it's pointless.

And more importantly, the pre-recorded live vocals from multiple tracks cannot be removed by muting.

Those so-called muted videos, even if they remove human voices, are all pre-recorded human voices.

It's quite amusing that many fans in the fandom use these muted videos as solid evidence to claim that their idols are speaking out.

At this moment, after hearing what Jiang Yan said, the live stream chat exploded with a barrage of comments.

Why isn't oppa talking anymore?!

[This is the first time I've found science popularization so engaging, and it's surprising that it's not going to continue ㅠㅠ]

[Please continue for another five minutes! Thank you!]

After listening to this, I now feel like every performance I see is pre-recorded...

What exactly is Grade A?! I won't be able to sleep tonight if you don't tell me!!!

[When is "later"? Tomorrow? The day after tomorrow? Or in the next life?!]

[Thank goodness, if I kept talking like that, I'm afraid oppa would get blacklisted by the industry tomorrow.]

[Wow! Oppa, you're trending!!!]

The scrolling comments were filled with groans of despair, but some people also reminded Jiang Yan that he had suddenly become a trending topic.

After being alerted by these kinds of comments, Jiang Yan immediately turned on his phone and opened the Naver app to check.

As expected, the hashtag #JiangYanTalksAboutPre-recordingLive# was quite eye-catching on the real-time trending topics list.

However, after seeing himself trending on social media, Jiang Yan remained calm and composed.

He knew this might happen from the moment he started planning to pre-record popular science content.

At this moment, Jiang Yan gave the camera a gentle smile and said, "Felixs, we still have a little time left, let's talk about something else."

With less than twenty minutes left before the live stream, he wouldn't let this trending topic affect the rest of the broadcast.

Subsequently, in the following live stream, Jiang Yan completely stopped mentioning anything related to pre-recording and instead talked about her experiences filming a music video in Hawaii.

Some fans were curious about how they managed to get Jeon Hyosung as the female lead in the music video, and Jiang Yan briefly explained how she met Jeon Hyosung.

Then, the live stream finally came to an end.

"Yo, that's all for today's live stream. The time for the next live stream will be announced in advance on the official fan cafe. Bye-bye."

After speaking, Jiang Yan casually pressed the button to turn off the live stream.

After the live stream ended, Jiang Zhennan, who had been hiding behind the camera, came closer.

He held up his phone and laughed, "You're really something, managing to get a trending topic on your live stream. It's even number one now."

As Jiang Zhennan spoke, he held up his phone screen in front of Jiang Yan. The latter looked at it and confirmed that, just as Jiang Zhennan had said, his search term had reached number one on NAVER's real-time trending list.

"That's great, it means I'm a well-known celebrity now, and my words automatically generate trending topics."

"Haha, yeah, but are you really sure it's okay for you to say something like that today?"

"It's nothing, I was just explaining something to my fans, I wasn't targeting anyone."

That's what I'm saying, but I'm afraid some people might take it personally.

"That's their business, it has nothing to do with me."

Jiang Yan shrugged indifferently, since he hadn't named anyone by name at all.

"Alright, shall we leave now?"

Today's live stream was on CUBE, and now that the live stream is over, the two of them can be considered to have finished their get off work.

"Let's go, didn't you have an appointment?"

"Yeah, do you want to come along? I see you're free later."

"Hmm... let's do it together then."

After thinking for a second, Jiang Yan gave up the idea of ​​going straight back to his apartment.

Then, the two quickly left the CUBE building and headed to the Ellui Club together.

……

Although Jiang Yan's live stream has ended, his pre-recorded science popularization clips sparked a heated discussion on Korean websites that same night.

"This is insane! This is the first time I've ever seen a celebrity say something like this publicly!"

"To be honest, I only knew about lip-syncing before, but I didn't realize there were so many differences!"

"Isn't he a singer himself? Is it really okay to say that?"

"So what exactly is Grade A??? He's stuck here and won't tell me! How am I supposed to sleep tonight?!"

"I was indifferent to him at first, but after watching the video, I became a fan."

"I'm looking forward to his next live stream. I'll follow him first."

Passersby were not only surprised that Jiang Yan dared to talk about this topic publicly, but they were also discussing what the unmentioned A-level was like.

However, the public opinion quickly shifted after just over an hour, with the narrative that Jiang Yan's explanation of the pre-recording was actually a veiled criticism of Girls' Generation's previous lip-syncing issues.

After all, anyone who watched the full live stream knows that Jiang Yan only started explaining things after someone asked him how he viewed Girls' Generation's "lip-syncing" incident.

As a result, the topic of Girls' Generation's "lip-syncing," which had already been put to rest, was brought up again and discussed extensively.

Seeing this situation, the SONEs (fans of SONE) were naturally not going to let it go.

This matter had just been brought under control, but it has now resurfaced on trending topics because of Jiang Yan's live stream.

Sone had no doubt that Jiang Yan was deliberately picking a fight against Girls' Generation.

As a result, Jiang Yan's Instagram and Twitter comment sections were besieged that very night.

Girls' Generation was already at the top when you debuted, who do you think you are to even comment on them?

Are you doing this on purpose? Do you really have to go to such lengths to ride this wave of popularity?

Using the guise of popular science to step on predecessors and climb the ladder is such a low-level tactic.

[Singing live is impressive? Any random live performance by Taeyeon would easily beat yours.]

[You think you can judge a national girl group? You should at least assess your own status first.]

You're not even worthy to carry Girls' Generation's shoes!!

[This brat got cocky after achieving a little success? He doesn't even know how to respect his seniors?]

[With so few fans, how dare they make disparaging remarks about their seniors?]

You'd better pray you never run into Girls' Generation while performing again.

The sone fans were filled with anger and launched a barrage of insults from all angles, while the Felix fans certainly couldn't stand idly by.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle of words in the comments section.

Of course, as the top girl group, Girls' Generation definitely has a lot of rivals.

Of course, the rival fans wouldn't let this opportunity pass by, and they also started to pretend to be passersby and join in the chaos to criticize and belittle Girls' Generation.

The battle raged from that night until the following day without ending.
