Chapter 102 (Exclusive Release)...

G-Dragon knew about these discussions among the VIPs, Kang Ah-rin knew about them, and Kang Ah-rin's current boyfriend, Ji Chang-wook, also knew about them.

The fact that fans are so eager for someone to become their sister-in-law is enough to prove how outstanding the girl is. Although proving one's excellence in this way seems somewhat insulting, Jiang Yalin is not very happy. However, in the fan community, such proof is actually very common and everyone is used to it.

"If I didn't know that you, Yalin, really have absolutely no interest in that guy, I would almost be jealous."

Ji Chang-wook held Kang Ah-rin tightly in his arms like a puppy guarding its food. Actually, he felt a bit pressured being with her.

After all, his girlfriend was too outstanding and her social status was far higher than his own, which would actually make him look down on in South Korea.

Because South Korea has historically been a patriarchal society, men are expected to be strong and women are expected to act weak to accommodate them. Of course, with the rise of women in recent years, women are no longer content to stay at home as housewives; more and more women are stepping out into the world, and many more are waiting to awaken.

In this social context, Ji Chang-wook did not think he was inferior to Kang Ah-rin. In his view, although they were in the same industry, they did different things. He liked acting and wanted to be an actor. He could shine in his path, while Kang Ah-rin could also achieve something in her job.

However, since he was an artist and Kang Ah-rin was the president of an agency, he had for a moment considered whether to transfer his agency contract to YG, since there was nothing shameful about making good use of resources.

Unsurprisingly, he was rejected. He had only mentioned it casually and didn't necessarily intend to switch to YG, but he was curious why she refused, so he asked her subconsciously and received this answer.

"I don't date within the company."

The meaning is clear—if you insist on becoming my employee, then goodbye.

Ji Chang-wook was very happy with this reply, as it proved that no matter how outstanding those people at YG were, they could never have any relationship with their girlfriends.

Jiang Yalin glanced at Ji Changxu's relieved expression with amusement. It seemed that his intention to transfer the management contract to her company was a pretense, but rather a test of her thoughts on the artists in the company. He really went to great lengths.

In the following days, Jiang Yalin spent her time dating and making money, and Kwon Ji-yong truly became her cash cow. In the days that followed, she shook off the shadows of the past, and BigBang became a huge hit throughout Asia. As for the West, she didn't have that kind of ambition, nor did she think that the Westerners who naturally had a discriminatory filter against Asia would completely embrace K-pop.

Having learned from Wonder Girls' experience, Jiang Yalin felt that it was enough to control the home base and manage the Asian market well. Otherwise, it would be a loss to follow their previous actions.

Perhaps the market there has opened up for them in recent years, but most people can't really distinguish between Korean artists. They only like one or two songs, and it's extremely difficult for them to truly capture the market.

Although the rise of third-generation idol groups has intensified competition in the entertainment industry, the internet has also allowed Jiang Yalin to make a fortune.

Looking back, she realized that getting close to G-Dragon would bring her good luck, and then she started to use this good luck to benefit herself. She joined YG as his assistant, and eventually became his manager after buying shares in YG. Finally, due to Yang Hyun-suk's disdain, she took over YG and became the manager of this rapidly developing company.

Standing in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the bustling traffic below, Jiang Yalin felt a great sense of accomplishment.

YG may not be able to produce another boy group similar to or surpassing BigBang, but BigBang's achievements are not easy to surpass.

There is only one BigBang, and only one G-Dragon. The path that the new boy group will take is not the same path that BigBang has taken. They will take a new path that no one else has taken, a path that they need to forge themselves. They want to ensure that when people hear their names, they will not become appendages of BigBang, nor will they become appendages of YG.

Kang Ah-rin hopes that people won't immediately think of them as a boy group from BigBang's agency or YG Entertainment when they mention them. She hopes they can reach the point where people will immediately think of YG Entertainment as BigBang's agency.

As for girl groups, it's clear that the next generation of girl groups is ready to take over from 2NE1 and become the leading girl groups in YG Entertainment.

They quickly secured first place upon their debut, a record previously held by a YG Entertainment boy group.

As for G-Dragon, he is still struggling in the vortex of being the male protagonist of a romance novel. After breaking up with Kim Dora, instead of the dramatic plot of his novel where he went through a "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" scenario, the two broke up cleanly and never had any contact again.

Dora's career is thriving, and all of his ex-girlfriends, except for Kang Ji-won, are doing well.

Kim Jin-ah once called her. The phone number was obtained by her parents after they asked Kang Ya-rin's parents and with Kang Ya-rin's consent.

So when Jiang Yalin suddenly received her call one day, she was not surprised, and even thought that the call was too late.

The phone call went something like this: She used to think that Jiang Yalin and Quan Zhilong would end up together because at that time, she felt that Quan Zhilong liked her. After learning about this, she was actually a little angry and felt that Quan Zhilong had no right to treat her like this, so she did a series of unreasonable things.

After the breakup, she wondered if the two of them would get back together, and even if they did, whether they could stay together in the end. She always viewed this matter with a critical eye.

But after so many news stories, he was surprised to find that not only were the two of them not together, but G-Dragon was also dating other people and had so many scandals.

Honestly, at that moment she was surprised, bewildered, and finally relieved, which led to this phone call.

Jiang Yalin was speechless. After all, she had never been involved in their relationship. She didn't care if she was seen as a rival, and was even a little unhappy, feeling that it was insulting for them to think that way.

However, at the end of the phone call, Kim Jin-ah still mentioned her recent situation. She was doing well, had a boyfriend who cherished her, and had a promising career.

Fang Zhixia, who returned to China, also achieved great success in both love and career two years later. She had a boyfriend who was devoted to her and was obsessed with love, and her private restaurant became incredibly popular.

She had visited China before and saw that even outside of mealtimes, the restaurant was always packed with guests, which was enough to prove that Fang Zhixia's culinary skills had won over many diners.

Lee Yeon-jin, needless to say, saw 2NE1's career flourish, and she narrowly missed becoming the top second-generation girl group (don't take this too seriously), making YG the biggest winner at the time.

After many years in the industry, she gradually developed her career outside of her professional life. Perhaps influenced by the company president, she started dating younger men, specifically those who were extremely handsome. This was different from other female celebrities in the industry, and this made her fans feel a pang of sadness.

After all, it's a huge shock to fans that their beautiful idols would go and date only ugly old men.

So when Li Yanzhen's first relationship was exposed, she found out that the other person's boyfriend was handsome and young, and she was extremely envious and jealous, and then she was disappointed in her idol.

At the time, there was even a saying circulating online: "Female idols should learn from 2NE1's Lee Yeon-jin when it comes to dating."

As for Kiko Mizuhara, who is far away in Japan, she is doing quite well. At least after breaking up with G-Dragon, there are not as many people following her around to criticize her. In fact, after G-Dragon had many relationships, his fans who had gotten used to it would even say a few good things about her.

Taking all of the above into account, Jiang Yalin felt that these actresses had all become more and more successful after dating and breaking up with G-Dragon, which was simply because he was their nemesis.

However, G-Dragon's romantic journey did not stop there, and the leading ladies around him appeared one after another, getting younger and younger as time went by, until finally some of them were born in the 2000s.

However, every female lead, every single one of them, was wary of Kang Ah-rin's presence when she first appeared. This attitude stemmed from G-Dragon and also from the online VIPs' evaluation of Kang Ah-rin, who inexplicably considered her their rival.

However, in the days that followed, they realized they were wrong, because Kang Ah-rin lived a more carefree life than Kwon Ji-yong.

Her love life didn't stop either. And if you look back at all her past boyfriends, you'll be surprised to find that none of Kang Ah-rin's boyfriends were from YG Entertainment. This puts the fans of YG's boy groups at ease, assuring them that their beautiful CEO wouldn't be cheating on them.

Then, they began to have one relationship after another with G-Dragon, different from the original story, but ultimately leading to the same outcome, which ended in a breakup.

Everyone's become numb to G-Dragon's love life today, but then they realize that Kang Ah-rin, his boss, has a love life that's just as exciting.

Some busybodies even started listing Jiang Yalin's past relationships. Although there may be some they didn't know, the sheer number of her ex-boyfriends was enough to shock these gossipers.

Then a post titled "[Jiang Yalin and Her Men]" quietly went viral and became a trending topic.
