Chapter 64 Provocation (Bonus Chapter: Fishbone Bites Kitten in Shallow Water) Forum...

Jiang Tinghan called out "Unnie" as she retreated with the freshly taken group photo. Her hurried steps revealed her inner urgency. What was originally a blooming lily on her skirt now resembled layers of rapidly flowing waves as she walked.

If you spend more than ten minutes with Kwon Ji-yong in this kind of setting, everyone in the venue will know that you are a couple. If you spend more than twenty minutes with Kwon Ji-yong, the whole world will know that you are dating.

Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away is the best.

Kwon Ji-yong watched Jiang Tinghan's hurried escape, his gaze falling on the vibrant peony that kept swaying as if it were breathing, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up slightly.

kiyo na.

His gaze involuntarily fell downwards again. Jiang Tinghan's hair was up today, so the tattoo on her shoulder was completely exposed. "Live with abandon. Die with a kiss." It was like a bewitching spell, especially the word "kiss," which made his eyes even deeper.

However, he is now closer to the word "abandon," as if he has been ruthlessly abandoned.

Lin Jiashu, who was standing next to him, smiled and said, "GD, you look very happy."

Artists often find it difficult to find suitable partners because they have some kind of obsession, or they handle relationships terribly, or they are too promiscuous.

Kwon Ji-yong casually picked up a glass of wine he had just drunk from, took a small sip, and replied modestly in Japanese, "Mana." (It's alright.)

He later found Jiang Tinghan in a corner of the party, talking to a jewelry brand creative director who admired her.

Coldy doesn't have any jewelry endorsements yet, but everyone has already seen her ability to drive sales. Although Blumarine has been a trend in recent years, its brand recognition is certainly not as strong as mainstream brands. After partnering with Lumera, both its brand awareness and sales have skyrocketed, and it has sold out many times in the past few months. It's not that the other celebrities didn't help, but Coldy definitely played the biggest role. The most obvious evidence is that as long as she wears something, whether it's jewelry, clothes, or bags, they all sell out.

No matter how big a brand is, it is ultimately a business. Right now, Coldy Jewelry's endorsement is a huge hot commodity.

Jiang Tinghan had almost finished talking with the director when she noticed his brighter gaze and immediately turned to look at him.

Under the dim light, a man in a pure white suit walked slowly. His hair was not styled much, but he made a hairstyle with his fidgety hands. His black hair fluttered in the wind, adding a touch of nonchalant carefree style.

As you take a few steps closer, his face becomes clearer, showing the marks of time, but you can still vaguely see the sharp edge he had in his youth. His appearance is always hard to describe precisely; he's not conventionally handsome, but he has a lot of charm.

Jiang Tinghan had seen Kwon Ji-yong most often in casual clothes, and had almost never seen him in formal attire. This was the first time she had seen him in a white suit.

Kwon Ji-yong stopped in front of her, greeted the director in a familiar tone, then looked at Jiang Tinghan, took something out of his pocket, and handed it to Jiang Tinghan.

Jiang Tinghan looked down and saw that it was an X-Japan album titled "Art of Life". It featured Yoshiki's stunningly beautiful face from her youth, with the left side showing a strikingly beautiful face and the right side showing a white skeletal outline in blue and white, making her look like a ghost.

This album is the first release from X-Japan after they changed their name in 1993 to avoid confusion with the American punk band, and switched to the label Atlantic Records. The entire album has only one title track, which is 29 minutes long. It was written and composed by Yoshiki, who incorporated his own painful experiences, and it has a very different meaning.

Now it also has a gleaming gold signature, turning it into a personally signed album, and below it is written in English, "Wishing Coldy to create more excellent works."

Kwon Ji-yong came specifically to give her this.

Jiang Tinghan was somewhat dazed when she received the album, not because she had received an autographed album, but because she was wondering why Yoshiki would carry such an old album with him.

...So it wasn't him who brought it.

It was Kwon Ji-yong who prepared in advance; he must have known that Yoshiki would arrive ahead of time.

This man is really good at this...

Jiang Tinghan's heart raced for a moment. Her fingers, which were touching the album surface, were pressed so hard that they turned white. She quickly relaxed her fingertips for fear of damaging the album, but her heart continued to beat faster and faster.

Quan Zhilong's lips moved twice, as if he wanted to say something, but he held back and just looked at Jiang Tinghan calmly, waiting for her to speak.

"Thank you, GD..."

A struggle flashed in Jiang Tinghan's eyes, but she still managed to speak with difficulty, her voice involuntarily lowering a few decibels: "Oppa."

It wasn't a particularly outstanding answer, but Kwon Ji-yong was still quite satisfied. He squinted his gentle, smiling eyes, reached out and ruffled Jiang Tinghan's hair, slightly loosening her neat black hair. His expression was natural, without any ambiguity; it looked like an interaction between an older brother and younger sister.

"Then I'll be going now. You can continue your conversation with this director."

Jiang Tinghan's dark eyes were filled with astonishment. His sudden action made his heart, which had just started to stir, stop abruptly. This man was simply lawless!

What's even more outrageous is that he flirted with her and then ran away, leaving Jiang Tinghan and his manager staring at each other in silence, both feeling completely bewildered.

It was the director who broke the deadlock first, saying with a smile, "It seems Coldyxi and GDxi know each other?"

They're more than just acquaintances; their relationship seems quite good.

Jiang Tinghan pursed his lips slightly: "It's... alright."

Although their conversation was lively just now, it was clear that he was looking at Jiang Tinghan from a superior position. But now it was completely different; his tone was much more equal and friendly than before.

This is the effect of Kwon Ji-yong's simple action.

“I think we can find a time to talk about it in detail later.” The creative director originally wanted to do some research, since even if Coldy became popular, she had only been in the industry for less than a year. The entertainment industry is all about seniority. But now he felt that he could stop hesitating, since he had already connected her with a fashion icon with nearly 20 years of experience.

Jiang Tinghan had no reason to refuse and accepted the creative director's business card: "It is my honor, and I hope to discuss more fashion philosophies with you."

She bowed slightly, her eyes lowered, but her eyelids lifted, and her gaze involuntarily turned to the direction where Kwon Ji-yong had left, but his figure had already disappeared.

I benefited from his influence again.

After the creative director left, the agent's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement: "This is Boucheron's person! I think they just signed Han So-hee as their spokesperson not long ago, but we don't follow the same path as the actress..."

She rambled on for a while, then suddenly looked at Jiang Tinghan, her tone full of doubt: "Coldy, when did you become so close to GDxi?"

It was probably last year.

Jiang Tinghan shook his head: "I don't know either. Maybe it's because we both like Yoshiki and have a common hobby..."

She clutched the album tightly in her hand, feeling the weight of two precious gifts and sentiments.

The agent still felt strange, but she remembered that Jiang Tinghan's relationship with DK improved after working with them for only one day. Perhaps it was this kind of charm that made older men like him.

Kwon Ji-yong's actions were so natural and straightforward that his manager hadn't even considered that possibility.

Jiang Tinghan arrived empty-handed but left with a gift. He held the album with a very dashing air; if you didn't look closely, you'd think it was an exquisite handbag.

Just as Jiang Tinghan was about to leave, he was caught red-handed by the media who were waiting at the door.

"Coldyxi, after such a wonderful night, do you have any new inspirations or expectations for your work or life ahead?" Judging from their eyes, they were eagerly anticipating Jiang Tinghan's answer on when Lumera would return.

With her manager's permission, Jiang Tinghan generously replied, "I felt a lot today, about art, about beauty, about the stage. I think after tonight, the work of preparing for the new album will be much easier. I hope that next month, Lumera can create a Music Paradise for everyone."

The media were somewhat surprised: "So Lumera is coming back next month?"

Jiang Tinghan just smiled and said, "Maybe? Inspiration is a strange thing; it can come or go as it pleases. Let's tentatively set it for next month, but please be kind if it's postponed."

Media: "Then we wish Coldyxi and Lumera all the best in making their new album."

Besides Jiang Tinghan, there were also artists walking silently on both sides of the camera, but one person stood out from the crowd and walked straight past Jiang Tinghan from behind.

The media's eyes lit up, and they all pleaded with him to stay: "GDxi! GDxi!"

G-Dragon only gave one official interview today, refusing all other interviews from invited media outlets. They were truly eager for more.

Kwon Ji-yong then casually turned around and gave the media a look.

A burly bodyguard whom Jiang Tinghan had met once or twice stood in front of Quan Zhilong, who waved his hand dismissively, indicating that it was alright.

He took a step forward, and Jiang Tinghan subconsciously took a step back, but before she could leave the frame, Kwon Ji-yong entered the picture.

The unexpected appearance of them together made up for the "regret" of not having an official group photo.

Miqiu Search?

Jiang Tinghan was now quite calm; she wanted to see what Young Master Quan was up to this time.

The media were even more excited because they hadn't expected GD to actually come over: "GD-xi, we just asked Coldyxi if having such a wonderful night would help with his future creative work. May we ask for GD-xi's answer?"

They're going to use the same tactics again, trying to get information out of Kwon Ji-yong's return plans.

GDxi releases snippets of his new songs every now and then, which not only piques the curiosity of fans but also makes the media eager to see more.

Kwon Ji-yong kept a certain distance from Jiang Tinghan, otherwise he was afraid that Jiang would naturally put his hand on hers again. He looked like he was thinking about the question very seriously, and then replied in a low voice, "It is indeed a very wonderful night."

His voice carried a hint of amusement: "I think so... Every scene I see, every moment I experience, could become part of my creative process."

“It’s like seeing this ‘Paradise Art Night’ signboard, and maybe I’ll write a song called ‘Paradise Night’ someday, or maybe I’ll see this…Coldyxi.” Kwon Ji-yong took a deep breath.

Jiang Tinghan stopped breathing.

OK, here's the vinegar I made for the dumplings.

He then added, "I saw my friends Yoshiki, Minho-ssi, Pharrell, Nigo... all of these will become unforgettable memories."

"So... yes, they will all help my creative work."

As Kwon Ji-yong spoke, he gestured with his hands, as if he couldn't speak if he pressed his hands down.

The media was immediately in an uproar. The phrase "Coldyxi" really startled them. They thought Kwon Ji-yong was going to write a song for Coldy, but it seems to be just a polite remark, since Coldy himself was watching the show from the sidelines.

They eagerly asked, "When will GDxi release his new work to the public? Fans are really looking forward to it."

Kwon Ji-yong joked, "Actually, I've always been showing it, haven't I?"

The reporters laughed: "But that's far from enough for the fans."

Kwon Ji-yong then said seriously, "I can't guarantee it, but it should be this year, maybe next year? I can't predict the future. After all, creation is an unpredictable thing. Maybe it will be released tomorrow, but it may take several months and I may still not be satisfied and have to start over. So I hope fans can wait patiently. I promise, G-Dragon will definitely meet everyone."

This answer is quite detailed and sincere, but a few sentences... sound a bit familiar?

Didn't Coldy just say something similar?

Jiang Tinghan had already left with his agent, leaving the media in a dilemma: should they film GD or chase after Coldy?

They didn't hesitate for long, because GD also left, right after Coldy, though at a considerable distance apart.

The media filmed the two people from the entrance of the venue all the way to their car; just the footage of them walking gave off an impressive aura.

Coldy was surrounded by fewer people, her face indifferent, a strand of bangs falling messily beside her cheek, swaying in the evening breeze, adding a touch of casual beauty. The flowers behind her head were drooping a little, but she became even more radiant in the night, as if she had absorbed all the sap of the peony and turned it into her own nourishment.

The car hadn't arrived yet, but the evening breeze had already turned cold. The assistant draped a pure black blanket over Jiang Tinghan, and even an ordinary blanket looked like a high-end designer vest on her shoulders.

Jiang Tinghan gave a gentle smile: "Thank you, Unnie. Are you Doraemon? You seem to have everything."

The assistant smiled and said, "Of course, we can't let our darling Coldy get cold."

Kwon Ji-yong's group had more people, and he looked like a noble young master traveling incognito, surrounded by a crowd. As a net addict, he was always on his phone, walking while checking it. I wonder where he gets so many messages every day. Naturally, he walked with an arrogant gait, even though he looked more composed. He still walked with a cocky and swaggering style, very much like G-Dragon.

He had somehow torn off his tie and was wrapped around his hand like a child, but the top button of his black shirt was undone, adding a touch of adult sexiness.

The car arrived. Jiang Tinghan looked at the open car door and heard laughter and commotion behind him on the way to get in. It was probably Kwon Ji-yong playing a joke on the staff next to him again. He couldn't help but turn his head to take a look, but he looked away in a second and got into the car.

Just as she turned her head, Kwon Ji-yong also put away his phone and looked up. Their eyes met again through the crowded streets.

"Click!" The reporter's finger involuntarily pressed the shutter.

I feel like these two... are actually quite a good match?

Late at night, everyone went home. Jiang Tinghan first followed Yoshiki's official Instagram account, and then excitedly posted photos of herself with Yoshiki and a signed album on Instagram.

[My idol from my youth, I never thought I'd meet him one day. I'm so grateful to the great and kind Yoshiki-senpai... (starry eyes) (starry eyes)]

She also brought a photo of her room when she was in school, with posters of rock bands covering the walls and books and physical albums in the cabinet, to prove her fan status.

The fans were stunned when they saw it.

【Wait, am I seeing things? No way? I can't believe I'm seeing yoshiki on Coldy's account! Am I dreaming?】

[Ahhh, this is such a dream collaboration for two fans! Congratulations to our little Kou for successfully meeting her idol!]

[I didn't expect Coldy to be a fan of celebrities just like us ordinary people. It's kind of cute, isn't it?]

[Oh my god, these posters are really old, and this photo has such a vintage feel to it. It seems like I've liked them for a long time, even though I just started following kkk.]

[I'm dying of laughter! Coldy, who never posts selfies without editing them, added filters and even edited the group photo. You really love your idol!]

[OMG, this senior is so kind! Not only is it a personal autograph, but it's also a personalized autograph, and there's even a message of blessing!]

[I can't believe I'm envious of Coldy! Waaaaah, I also want to take a photo with Yoshiki and get his autographed album, oh my god, this album! I can't help but drool with envy.]

[So you were taking a photo with your idol! No wonder you were smiling so happily. You've never shown me that smile before.]

[Don't spread rumors! Our Coldy smiles at fans a lot, okay!]

Soon, Yoshiki's account followed her back.

Yoshiki's attention is similar to G-Dragon's likes; it's not difficult to get. Just praise him, send him private messages, or send him drawings, and there's a high chance he'll follow you back.

But fans will still feel very honored.

He also left a comment below, a simple yet meaningful message: "Nice to meet you."

Jiang Tinghan immediately replied: 【Nice to meet you too!!!】

The three exclamation marks clearly express excitement.

Fans: "???!!!"

[Oh my god, there was even an interactive element! Baby, this event was so worthwhile!]

[These are comments and messages from top international artists! Our Coldy really deserves them!]

[kkk I feel like Coldy unnie is about to faint from excitement at home]

[Moragu, Coldy has such a passionate side? That's truly surprising!]

[Coldy is actually quite cute when he's a fan of celebrities; he seems more real and relatable then.]

[As expected of my favorite idol, he has such good taste. My idols are just like me.]

[I actually knew Coldy liked X-Japan a while ago, but I didn't expect him to be such a true fan. He seems to have a more complete collection of albums than I do. I really want to visit Coldy's house.]

Fans were happily praising the interaction until an account with a mysterious lake-green and black cursive English avatar appeared in the comments section.

@xxxibgdrgn: [Me?]

fan:"???"

Hey, who is this? Why are you joining in the fun?

Is it really G-Dragon...?

[It's true, the claim of 20 million followers shouldn't be fake, right?]

Hmm...so you met at the dinner party?

Haha, I'm really fine. It's just that my worst fears came true.

Prayer is useless, so I'll request "Hate" (lights a cigarette) (melancholy)

What kind of development is this? I don't understand it.

Jiang Tinghan's reply to the mysterious man with the lake-green profile picture left fans even more puzzled: 【Thank you, senior! (bows)】

Kwon Ji-yong was at home counting exclamation marks, feeling frustrated—he was still two short! But he had one extra emoji~

Fans are busy frantically typing question marks.

What's going on here? Can anyone explain this to me?

My brain has been overloaded and stopped working.

【think--】

[I want to die. Kids, I've already chosen a burial plot for myself, and I'll be moved in soon.]

[Considering this timeline and Instagram posts... isn't GD and Yoshiki quite close? So maybe GD acted as a middleman, introducing Coldy to Yoshiki? That's why Coldy expressed his gratitude.]

This speculation is reasonable; I guessed it was the same.

But here's the question: how did Coldy and GD meet?

[...]

【Ahhhhhh】

Stop thinking about it, stop thinking about it, don't think about it too much.

[You met at this event, right?]

[What is this? An officially arranged marriage?]

[I'm seriously fed up with you guys. What's so great about this couple? Can't you guys please be mindful of the age difference? The age difference!]

[It's so strange. Everyone's so friendly and harmonious when interacting with Yoshiki, but when interacting with GD, everyone screams and gets emotional. Aren't they both senior artists? Why is there such a difference in treatment?]

Brother, although we're both senior figures, there's a difference between 35 and 58 years old. The former is in a very dangerous range.

[Hey kids, I think I know how they met. Please watch the video—"It's been so long since I've seen G-Dragon (crying)"]

Fans flocked to the video, and the poster's caption roughly meant that they had seen GD for the first time in a long time, indicating that GD was watching Yoshiki's performance.

The highlight is that Coldy was standing right next to GD while he was watching the performance!

Even the way the two of them were leaning on the fence was somewhat similar.

The video is short, but it not only captured GD greeting the poster, but also showed GD standing up straight to face Coldy, crossing his arms and saying something. Then Coldy's manager said something, and Coldy said something again, and GD laughed.

That smile held a hint of... well, it's hard to describe. It seemed a little apologetic, yet it also looked quite radiant.

[I'm so confused! It's all your fault for saying there were no photos of them together every day, but here they are!]

[The fun-loving people have been waiting for! It turns out there was a conversation at this time. Did they watch Yoshiki's performance together and start chatting?]

[(Covering face and turning away) (Screaming) They were clearly expressing their rejection, so why did they cruelly appear together offline like this? Doesn't anyone care about the fans' lives?]

[Ridiculous... How could they not appear in the same frame when they're both in K-pop? Actually, I think the fans are being a bit too sensitive. Their interactions are normal. Why can they accept DK but not GD? They both have the "D" in their names.]

[Yes, between young idols and older, semi-retired idols, the former is definitely in more danger.]

[You know, saying something like "I'm getting old" is hurtful, right? Actually, our G-Dragon is still in his prime.]

[You guys don't understand, it's a feeling... Besides, young idols are so busy, they don't have time to date, especially with SVT's intense tour schedule. But GD has so much free time, isn't this the perfect time for him to date?]

[That actually makes some sense; it does seem like GD is the one who needs more attention.]

[kkk Our Uncle Ci can also be called young, it's all about comparison]

[Let me compare the similarities between GD and Coldy's ideal type. Handsome is subjective, but I think GD in his twenties was quite handsome, famous, and fits the description perfectly. Muscular... I can't quite see that now, but he probably had those when he was younger. Strong is undeniable, but that last one, stupidity... doesn't quite fit.]

[kkk Actually, fans often call GDpabo (a homophone for "chicken" in Chinese), and he does have a goofy side. It's just that we haven't had many opportunities to see GD in private these past few years, and he's always shown a cool side to the public. Confirmed, Coldy's ideal type is GD in his twenties.]

[666, there are still rare characters, are they going to develop a time machine? Doesn't that mean Coldy wouldn't like the current GD?]

But GD's smile...it looks like he's interested in Coldy.

[I don't see it. All I see is that it's blurry. OP, if you have the money, get a new phone. It's rare to see videos with such low resolution in 2023.]

[Don't talk about the poster, didn't you notice that the poster didn't mention Coldy at all? She also cares about this girl quite a bit, but even after they've already talked, she stubbornly refuses to tag Coldy or mention her even once.]

[Mystery solved on the homepage: a die-hard GDxi fan!]

[kkk The poster probably couldn't bear to delete the conversation because of that last smile. As a fan, seeing GD's radiant smile must have melted my heart.]

This smile is for Coldy.

The Smile Disappears Technique...

[Okay, I've figured out the timeline. These two met first, then Coldy probably mentioned that his idol was Boss Lin, and then he met Boss Lin through GD's introduction, which led to their interaction on Instagram.]

[Did we really meet today? I have my doubts.]

【Otherwise what? Prove that you knew each other before, otherwise don't spread rumors】

[Some people have stopped using that old rumor about guessing the song "Lies" to spread rumors that Coldy's idol is G-Dragon. That's not true at all. Open your eyes and look at Coldy's attitude towards his idol. He doesn't hide anything at all.]

[After being a jack-of-all-trades and master of none for so long, I suddenly realized today that GD and Coldy are actually quite a good match. At least their outfits go really well together. The suit gives off a gentlemanly vibe, while the dress gives off a princess vibe. The older man/younger woman feel is really strong.]

[Agreed! I've said this couple is perfect for a long time. K-pop is missing this authentic older man/younger woman pairing, not the kind with a fetish for the ugly, but the kind where the older man guides the younger man, and the younger man works hard to shine and stand shoulder to shoulder with the older man.]

[Aigu, a good chef can make a meal from a single sentence. Now I understand, it really is delicious (licks lips)]

Are you sick? Why don't you pat yourself on the back with your dad? What's so great about an old cow eating young grass?

If you're so emotionally rich you could write a whole love history book, don't even bother with our blank slate, Coldy.

[KKK's fans are going crazy tonight!]

GD fans should be okay, after all, there's a new GD to watch, and that's enough.

Indeed, compared to whether he's dating or getting to know younger artists, GD's appearance on camera is more important.

Wow! Amazing! Go check out the newly released interview, there's a clearer picture of Coldy and GD together!!!

What's going on today? This infuriating stream of materials keeps coming in!

Fans gritted their teeth and reluctantly clicked to watch.

Everything was normal at first; Coldy even revealed some news that excited them.

—"Lumera is coming back next month!"

Nine months later, Lumera has finally made a move! It turns out that WK1 hasn't released Lumera yet!

This is truly exciting news!!!

Then they saw a man slip past behind Coldy, his white suit constantly reminding fans of his identity.

This was definitely intentional!

That's blatant provocation!!!

The fans were absolutely thrilled.

The fans didn't care at all about the later part about Coldyxi's comeback this year, but the title "this Coldyxi" made their nerves pound.

[Hahahaha, what a moment of despair for fans! The video was blurry just now, and now a high-definition version is here. It's like a one-stop service!]

I want to go downstairs, but I don't want to take the stairs or the elevator.

[Damn... Is there something wrong with this man? With so many options, why does he have to take this route and insist on showing up in front of the media?]

There's a reason I've always disliked him; even his breathing is a provocation, and it makes me furious!

I'm so angry! Do you have any quick-acting heart medicine? Urgent!

Am I just imagining things? I have this feeling that he's been deliberately trying to appear in front of Coldy all along.

It's just your imagination, a coincidence. Because he's a cat, and cats are attracted to narrow gaps.

Even if it was intentional, it's fine, because that's just his personality—he likes to be the center of attention. There's really no need to care about GD's interactions; even if you get to know him, he's still just a younger sister. You can look at the interactions between GD and CL for reference.

Yes, GD's ideal type is a rather unconventional girl who has her own style, preferably a bit cynical, and who is a cat-like type who doesn't pay much attention to him.

[You just copied Coldy's work, didn't you?]

[Hahahaha, this is hilarious! The more you talk about it, the more it sounds like Coldy. Coldy is just calm and collected, not very excited, and doesn't have that kind of surprise of meeting a K-pop legend.]

[But this is a big crisis for Coldy's fans! It seems it's not just GD's unrequited love. Coldy was watching GD's interview and didn't want to leave. It turns out it's a two-way street.]

【Um... what's wrong with that? I was just curious. Isn't it normal to be curious about an interview with a senior?】

Don't hurt this curious cat; she didn't even finish listening before she left, did she?

[This chicken is hilarious! It deliberately walks past people from behind. I don't believe it didn't see that they were being interviewed.]

[Perhaps Coldy has too little presence and no star quality. Isn't it normal that the senior actors didn't notice him?]

[A slap in the face to those shipping the couple, and a direct attack on Coldy by those trying to smear him. The most talked-about topic tonight is Coldy's dress. Is that what you call lacking star quality? I think many K-pop fans can pack their bags and go home.]

[Aigoo, should I say this is telepathy? Coldy said that when Lumera came back, he meant that creation is uncertain, so the timeline couldn't be clearly defined, and GD expressed the exact same meaning.]

[That's because they're all creators; isn't it normal for their statements to have similarities?]

The previous video was okay, but I really fell for this interview video, especially the part where GD said "Coldy" and then looked at Coldy. It felt like an older brother teasing his younger sister, like a romantic older brother.

[I have to say, this couple definitely had more sexual tension, didn't you guys notice? When GD turned around and walked over at the beginning, Coldy stepped back, and I screamed on the spot. It was like an invisible battle, with each of them advancing and retreating.]

Even Coldy's presence is overshadowed by GD's; is this the power of a second-generation senior?

[No, I think it's because Coldy saw GD coming over and instinctively wanted to give him the center position for the interview. Coldy is a very emotionally intelligent guy.]

Actually, they have similar auras; they're both quite powerful. Coldy is young and energetic, with a sharp edge, while GD is mature and reserved, but still looks like a big boss. When they're together, there's no sense of restraint that juniors might have when meeting seniors. It's quite harmonious and natural. Even in that previous conversation, I didn't see Coldy being particularly surprised or apprehensive. It was as if they were equals. Listen to me, this pair is really different.

Isn't this disrespectful to one's seniors?

[You're crazy. How is it disrespectful to a senior to say you don't know what you said in the conversation? Do you expect someone to go up to you during an interview and shout, "Hello senior, I'm Coldy, it's an honor to stand with you?" I'm speechless.]

[Senior: I didn't mean any disrespect, just interact with your junior on Instagram~ Fan: You're disrespecting my idol!]

[Who said those were fans? The fans are all excited about the comeback this year. Don't drag us into your arguments between Coldy's fans and haters.]

[I'm begging you, both sides spoke politely, there was no intimate contact, everything seemed normal, netizens: So sweet. ??? Are you guys crazy?]

What we're really into is a feeling, a sense of connection.

It's heartbreaking to see the fans trying so hard to refute this; it breaks my heart.

[kkk Both of them are talking about their comeback and creative work, but many people are more focused on how well they seem to be a good match.]

[I'm a career-focused fan, I only care about comebacks! Hurry up and get to October, I want to hear Lumera's songs!!!]

[G-Dragon! Hurry! Release! A! New! Album! If you don't release one soon, I'll be too old!!!]

Not long after, netizens saw another amazing photo of the two of them taken by the media.

They suddenly turned around and looked at each other, as if it were destiny.

It looks exactly like a still from a movie!

Some netizens, eager for a good show, blurred all the people in the middle. With one foot on the car, she looked back at him in the crowd, as if they were being forced to separate. This added a lot of drama to the scene, making people imagine a tragic love story of a young couple being torn apart by their parents.

[Ahhhhh, it's actually pretty good to ship, isn't it? I don't care, even if the King of Heaven himself came, I'd still ship them for a climax!]

Even if their ID cards show they're from the Yuanmou Man era, I'll accept it; I'm totally shipping this couple!

[Holy crap, I have to give this media outlet a thumbs up! They really know how to take great photos! This is how one picture can completely hook you.]

[Is this really the atmosphere? It looks just like a Korean drama, and what's even more idol-drama-like is that they are both top idols, one currently popular and the other a long-standing star.]

[This is insane! Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, which bastard took this picture? Go to hell, go to hell, go to hell!]

[This is fate. GDxi was smiling when they made eye contact. He always seems to smile when he sees Coldy. It's so strange.]

[Actually, if I saw such a beautiful woman, I couldn't help but smile too. Coldy looked absolutely stunning tonight.]

Actually, Coldy's fans should thank GD, because it was thanks to GD that Coldy was able to successfully become a fan.

I will send my wedding wishes and this thank you together on the day GDxi marries another woman, but not now.

Now I believe in the power of camera language; it can actually make two strangers seem like a couple!

[Not that we're unfamiliar with each other]

Mom and Dad, I'm born!

[Leopard Cat, I've been reborn, reborn on the very night you first met. He said, "Miss Jiang, may I get to know you?" She said, "Mr. Quan, of course, it would be my honor," and then gave him a gentlemanly hand kiss. I can't write anymore, you can fill in the blanks yourself.]

[Ahhh, please stop! My toes are digging into the ground! This is like a short drama script about an arranged marriage in a wealthy family that blossoms into love. It's so embarrassing! Please stop!]

No, I strongly oppose this marriage. One is my husband, and the other is my wife. You two cannot be together! What will I do if you two are together?

Join us, and then it'll be a happy life for the three of us.

Oh? That sounds really good, I'm actually interested!

[This couple is moving so fast, haha! In just one night, they not only had their first chat together and their first interview together, but this genius reporter even asked the same question! Doesn't that make it even easier to ship them? There's also their Instagram interaction, and now even some hilarious pictures are circulating.]

[Building a tall building from scratch is an example of this.]

It's amazing how two such charismatic people can create such a wonderful chemistry together. I haven't even heard them talk yet, and I'm already shipping them without even realizing it.

I'm out of ideas... Fellow shippers who've switched to being CP fans, let's unfriend each other, I'm about to have a meltdown.

【How disgusting! Don't you guys find it disgusting? Our Coldy has only been in the industry for less than a year, just graduated from university, and she's already being targeted by seniors with experience and status. I feel suffocated, completely filled with oppressive pressure from those in positions of power. Especially with so many people saying they're a good ship, it's practically an incomprehensible siege against a young female idol.】

[You're really good at making things up... These two barely exchanged a few words, and there's already pressure and encirclement. Did GD come to your house and tell you he forced Coldy to do something? Or did Coldy say herself that she felt wronged and upset? Neither, right?]

Hysteria is an illness that needs treatment. Coldy has many senior figures in the Korean entertainment industry. If you can't even stand normal interactions, you should probably work on yourself.

Please respect the differences in netizens' preferences, and please give us back our freedom to ship couples. I really enjoy this feeling of evenly matched pairings; who understands?

[I totally get it! These two are perfect for that edit of "The Villainous Life of the Young Lady and the Young Master," that fan-shot video of them leaning against the railing watching a performance—they look like a high-society couple.]

[Did they get married on their first meeting? Netizens are quick to react!]

[Kids, I've discovered something: if you replace "Always You" with G-Dragon—it's absolutely amazing!]

"Remember? That afternoon when even the wind was languid." "You and I, nestled on the bench, shared a cigarette." "Between your lips and mine." "The sun-kissed smoke flowed..." "A silent kiss..." "The cigarette that flickers between your fingers now, that is me, do you understand?"

What do I do when I see the lyrics and can already picture it?! The star himself is cooking! And our GD is into smoking, drinking, and getting perms, right? And there's something like "Please let the tears of happiness flow by" later on, right? GD is quite a sentimental person, maybe he really will cry tears of happiness. I can almost picture that scene.

[Absolutely amazing! The match is 100% perfect! Just like that, smoking and kissing passionately, that decadent yet erotic feeling, with a hidden sadness... [Images][Images] Any old photo of GD could seamlessly replace the male lead in the "Always You" MV, especially around 2017, the vibe is so similar to the male lead's feeling of having lost his girlfriend.]

[No one can stop these crazy women anymore. They're even obsessed with blood sugar. Do you know how much damage they did to GD fans in 2017? This isn't a tool for you to ship couples.]

[If I hadn't been in a good mood after seeing this interview, I would have torn you all apart. You have absolutely no respect for people.]

[kkk Dragon fans don't cause trouble, but they're not afraid of trouble either, right?]

[Haven't he caused enough trouble already? Every one of GD's rumored girlfriends gets relentlessly attacked by his fanatical fans, right?]

[Um... Some of the rumored girlfriends know what they've done. Some used their status as GD's girlfriend to gain a lot of resources, but their unclear stance dragged GD into being criticized, and now they still want to maintain the image of a strong female lead, which is just too funny. There are also those who have been purely riding on his coattails from beginning to end. To be honest, I don't dislike Coldy, after all, he became famous by writing songs, but there's no need to tie him to others. You can be famous, and let me, GD, enjoy my retirement life. I'll make a comeback when I'm ready.]

Let bygones be bygones. Anyway, you, Long, won't end up with any of them. With his personality, it's hard for him to find a life partner. Even if you do get together, you'll break up. Let them be. Don't worry.

[Hilarious! Men all over the world are the same; they all like young and beautiful women.]

Actually, I also... like Diamond Boys. When you get to a certain age, you tend to calm down, and at that time, you really hope that there are young people in your life to bring vitality and freshness. It's easy to be captivated by them.

[Amazing! This interpretation makes it even more delicious!]

[Well, kids, I'm going to briefly mention '7 Hours'—flying overnight from Paris to Seoul to win back your lover...just thinking about it makes me scream!!!]

Everything can be substituted!

[Actually, those who like this kind of pure hatred style can also watch the "Hate" music video. GD was quite the playboy in his youth.]

The food was already stuffed into my mouth, so I had no choice but to eat it.

[This is hilarious! I suddenly remembered someone saying this pairing is hard to ship when GD commented on "me?". I wonder if they'll change their minds tonight.]

[Nobody expected things to turn out this way. At first, seeing how both sides' fans were avoiding each other and considering the age difference, I really thought "No." But when they appeared together, all my pet peeves turned into perks. It's definitely a case of the actual product not matching the packaging description.]

[First, thank you to Paradise Art Night for being such a great matchmaker; second, thank you to Yoshiki for cosplaying as the matchmaker; third, thank you to the media. Everyone worked together to make GC look like a fairytale!]

[Ahhhhh, you guys are really going to trend... More and more people are going to see this unique couple!]

[Not only did it trend in Korea, but #GDColdyTogether# also trended internationally. Many people really love a good show. This couple went international overnight, you deserve to know!]

[I'm dying of laughter! It's only been a short time, and the photo released by this media outlet, along with the fan-edited version, has already surpassed 500,000 reposts. It's clear that no one can resist the allure of this photo!]

I hate you! I hate you so much! Coldy, I really hate you so much, why did it have to be this man?

[I almost burst out singing after reading the previous parts; your words still love her.]

[What's there to hate? It was just a chance encounter at a social event. According to the "if there's interaction, it can't be the brother-in-law" rule, G-Dragon can be ruled out.]

The race to be Coldy's wife remains hot; who will ultimately win? Let's wait and see!

[It turns out that several men and women were involved in a fight, but Coldy had actually declared himself asexual.]

[Narcissus Bar, Coldy Narcissus is so adorable!]

[The daffodils are absolutely divine, I'm giving them my full support! (Nail Art) (Nail Art)]
