Chapter 98 (Exclusive Release)...

Jiang Yalin found the Japanese man's remarks somewhat amusing. Although she felt offended, she wouldn't argue with a fool.

After all, someone who would use photos of G-Dragon dating another woman to ask for money is either stupid or foolish.

If he were smart, he wouldn't ask for money from himself with the photos; instead, he would ask the woman for money.

After all, it's common knowledge that G-Dragon is a playboy. Of course, being a playboy doesn't mean he's a womanizer, but rather that he knows how to date. Everyone knows he dates and draws inspiration from his relationships to write songs. So why would she buy photos of him dating other people?

"This photo is pretty good. This photo... if you want to post it, could you edit it a little? The lighting isn't quite right. And this one... this one of G-Dragon is quite good, but the girl in it is a bit... Of course, it depends on you. If you're too lazy to fix it, just post them all. And this one... can you sell me this negative? I feel like you've captured all of G-Dragon's life in one photo."

Jiang Yalin's words left the reporter across from her completely bewildered.

"President Kang, these are photos of G-Dragon on a date."

"Of course I know! These two are holding hands, hugging, and kissing. These must be photos from a date."

The more Jiang Yalin said this, the more confused the reporter became. It shouldn't be like this. He had already imagined how nervous the person opposite him would be because of this matter, and now she was asking for an exorbitant price. Although he was a little unhappy, he still gritted his teeth and bought the photos, instead of her enthusiastically discussing how good the photos were.

"Aren't you afraid that if this photo gets leaked, his fans will get angry and stop supporting him? You know G-Dragon is the pillar of YG Entertainment right now. If something happens to him, your company will be in serious trouble..."

"So what? He's in a relationship. He didn't kill anyone, and he didn't cheat on anyone. What's wrong with letting everyone know?"

Jiang Yalin's counter-question left the reporter momentarily speechless. After a long silence, he finally managed to ask a dry, awkward question.

"Are you sure you don't want to buy the photos?"

"purchase!"

A single word instantly brought a happy smile to the reporter's face, but the smile froze before it could last more than three seconds.

"I'm going to buy that life photo and post it online for the VIPs to praise."

Is he out of his mind?!

Finally, the reporter left in a huff, without taking any photos with him. However, in order not to lose money or make a wasted trip, he still sold the "life photo" that Jiang Yalin mentioned to YG.

Looking at the photos, Jiang Yalin was truly satisfied. If it weren't for the fact that the other party's behavior of asking him to buy the photos was so dishonest, he would have really wanted to get the other party into YG Entertainment to take photos of YG artists. With this skill, being a reporter was a waste of his talent. With this skill, he could definitely make a fortune as a freelance photographer and even be praised and famous, instead of being scorned like this.

That evening, a post titled "[When popular idols date, is it a dereliction of duty or a disregard for fans' feelings?]" became a trending topic.

As for how it got on the trending topics, those in the know understand. The reporter used the money Jiang Yalin spent to buy that life photo to generate some buzz, and then notified other companies. With the help of these other companies, it naturally became a trending topic even though the fans of each company didn't show up.

—Wow, is it a capital offense for an idol to be in a relationship? It's like they have to be torn to pieces, kneel down to beg for forgiveness, and then retire from the entertainment industry to atone for their sins.

—Reply: Just pretend I didn't say anything. G-Dragon is dating for the sake of everyone's ears. If he doesn't date, he won't have any inspiration. If he doesn't have inspiration, I won't be able to hear any good songs. So what if he dates? Let him date!

—When idols date, it's not only a dereliction of duty, but also shows a complete disregard for the well-being of their fans. I think such people are no longer suited to be in this industry. Get out of here and leave this industry.

—Reply: No, please don't roll away! If you roll away, I won't be able to hear so many good songs!!!

— What kind of idiot would ask such a question? Idols dating is a capital offense, is there even a need for discussion?

—Reply: Dating is a capital offense for idols, but G-Dragon can be forgiven for dating!!!

Seriously, if you want to be in a relationship, don't be an idol. If you are an idol, you have to be chaste. If you can't, then die!!!

—I'll die writing songs, and I'll write a lot of them as punishment!!!

Before the VIPs could even speak up after arriving at the battlefield, they were caught off guard by the comments section and didn't know how to respond.

—I thought it would be a fierce battle, but the harmony in the comments section scared me a little.

—No, is this how our comment section should be?

Sisters, instead of questioning the reactions in the comments section and wondering why they're so strange, shouldn't we reflect on why it's so normal for oppas to date, and why this idea is so deeply ingrained in people's minds?

—Honestly, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Everyone seems to be very accepting of Oppa dating, so much so that I feel like it would be a shame if Oppa didn’t date a few at once.

Honestly, the person who posted this must be so angry right now that they're smashing things at home. They thought that posting this would lead to everyone criticizing Oppa, but they didn't expect everyone to be so used to it, and even to ask him to have more relationships and write more songs.

Just as Jiang Yalin thought, as long as the company doesn't acknowledge the news of G-Dragon's relationship and he doesn't respond, the online reaction won't be too great.

His relationship was an open secret, which is why she scoffed at the reporter's attempt to get her to buy the photos.

She's not rich and has nothing better to do than keep things to herself. Everyone knows the truth, so why hide it? If he's capable of dating, then he should be prepared to be photographed. If she has to clean up the mess every time, then she thinks he shouldn't even be in this relationship.

Perhaps it's because G-Dragon is such a big star that everyone's discussions revolve around him. As for his girlfriend, some people did pay attention, but not many. In the end, all that was known was that she was a member of a not-so-popular girl group named Kim Dora.

However, this wave of attention did bring some traffic to Kim Dora and her group. Although her teammates envied and were jealous that Kim Dora was able to date G-Dragon, they were also delighted by this sudden surge in popularity.

As for Li Yanzhen, her first reaction upon seeing the news was shock, followed by a frantic search for whether such a thing had actually happened in her past life.

As a die-hard VIP, she dares to guarantee that there are many women who have had romantic entanglements with G-Dragon, but there is absolutely no girl named Kim Dora among them. So who exactly is this Kim Dora and how did she suddenly appear?

Could it be the butterfly effect caused by her time travel?

Her dazed expression appeared to others as heartbreak. Park Bom and the others left worriedly, then went over to surround her, gently embracing her and patting her back to comfort her.

"It's okay, Yeonjin. You're so great, you'll meet someone even better in the future. Jiyong isn't good enough for you. Besides his talent, he's just so-so. You need to take your eyes off him, and you'll find that there are still many men in this world. Let me tell you something secretly. Several of the trainees in our company are very good-looking. What's so great about older oppas? If you want to date, date a younger, more energetic guy."

The conversation quickly went off-topic, and Li Yanzhen, having regained her senses, was speechless upon hearing such remarks.

"I really don't like him anymore. I was just a little surprised and wondering who that girl was. I'm not as heartbroken as you might imagine. Don't worry, I know it's impossible between us, so I won't force it. Besides, with his personality, if he doesn't want to be together anymore, the future isn't long anyway. To avoid awkwardness when we meet again, I gave up a long time ago. My goal now is to make you all famous all over the world!!!"

"Wow!!! So your ambitions are so grand!! Okay, then let's become famous all over the world. What are men? When we become famous all over the world, we can choose any man we want."

"Exactly! I'm not going to date anyone then. I'll be like those guys, keeping a few younger guys as mistresses!!!"

The only people who could make such bold statements are Park Bom and Park Sandara. These two really dare to say anything. Lee Chae-rin couldn't stop these two older sisters, so all she could do was silently reach out and cover the maknae's ears. She couldn't let the innocent maknae be corrupted by the older sisters' words.

"Oppa, how has this affected you?"

Kim Dora hadn't expected to be filmed, so when the news broke, she panicked and called G-Dragon.

"It's alright, it hasn't affected me much. How about you?"

It's impossible to say he had a lot of feelings for this girlfriend he just went along with without rejecting her, but it's not like he had absolutely no feelings for her either, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to be with her.

So when she called, his tone was fairly nice. However, he also knew that their relationship would actually be very beneficial for Jin Duola and her group, but he didn't really care.

The two chatted for a while, finalized the time and place for their next date, and then hung up the phone.

Jiang Yalin, who had been working at the company all day and didn't get off work until after 9 p.m., stretched her aching back, rubbed her equally sore fingers, packed her things, picked up her bag, and left the office.

Although it was past nine o'clock, there were still people in the company, quite a few. The elevator stopped on the second floor. Jiang Yalin was not surprised, but she raised an eyebrow when she saw the people outside the elevator.
