Hilarious Clarification

Hilarious Clarification

Rumors, like snowballs, grow bigger and bigger on the steep slope of the internet. What started as "G-Dragon's health is in danger" has gradually evolved into various outrageous versions such as "GD suffers from a hidden illness and may retire from the entertainment industry" and "G-Dragon secretly hospitalized for treatment." Even recent photos of Su You without makeup and wearing a mask during her business trips have been interpreted as her "looking haggard while accompanying her husband to the doctor" and "worried about her husband's condition."

The night before the live stream: I could no longer tolerate it.

"I really can't take it anymore!" G-Dragon threw his phone on the sofa. The screen displayed an "exclusive scoop" from a well-known gossip account, claiming that a "hospital insider" confirmed he was receiving treatment. "They even made up what illness I have!"

Su You picked up her phone and looked at the vivid report, feeling both amused and exasperated: "They even wrote down the attending physician's last name. It's really impressive how 'thorough' they looked into it."

What frustrated them most was that some of their partner brands called to subtly inquire whether his future work arrangements could proceed as normal. G-Dragon realized that if he didn't clarify the situation soon, it could jeopardize his career.

"Let's go live," Su You suddenly said.

"What?"

“Let’s do a live stream and explain it to everyone directly.” Su You’s eyes were firm. “Since everyone is so ‘concerned’ about your health, let’s just show them openly.”

So, a last-minute live stream announcement was made: [See you tomorrow night at 8 PM on Vlive~ I heard you guys were worried about me?]

This simple teaser instantly went viral, with pre-registration numbers skyrocketing. Everyone wanted to know: What exactly is G-Dragon going to announce? Is he really going to clarify the rumors, or... worse news?

On the day of the live broadcast: numerous unexpected situations arose.

At 7:50 p.m., G-Dragon and Su You's apartment was in a flurry of activity.

"Is this lighting okay?" G-Dragon adjusted the angle of the ring light.

“A little more to the left,” Su You said, looking at her phone screen. “No, it’s too far to the left, the shadow is on my face!”

The two hurriedly set up the live stream background—ultimately choosing the living room sofa, which looked more homey and casual. G-Dragon wore a bright yellow sweatshirt, making him look radiant, while Su You wore a soft light pink sweater.

At 7:58, everything was ready. G-Dragon took a deep breath and clicked the "Start Live Stream" button.

The sudden influx of viewers caused the server to lag for a few seconds. The comments section scrolled so fast it was impossible to read them:

[Oppa, are you alright?]

We were so worried!

[Finally, the live stream is here!]

Is that Yuzu unnie next to me?

"Hello everyone, this is G-Dragon." Kwon Ji-yong waved at the camera, revealing a helpless smile. "I've heard that everyone's been saying I'm very sick lately?"

[Yeah! What happened?!]

Oppa has lost so much weight!

[You don't look too good.]

"My complexion looks bad because the lighting is terrible!" G-Dragon said, adjusting the light position with a mix of laughter and tears. "Besides, I've clearly gained two kilograms, where did I lose weight?"

Su You couldn't help but laugh out loud off-camera. G-Dragon pulled her into the frame: "Come on, let my wife be my witness, have I gained weight recently?"

Su You nodded, suppressing a laugh: "He can testify that he's had a particularly good appetite lately, and he even stole half a bag of my potato chips last night."

The comment section was immediately flooded with "hahaha".

Clarification process: The more they explained, the worse it got.

G-Dragon sat up straight and put on a serious expression: "The reason for this live broadcast today is to solemnly clarify: I, G-Dragon, am in good health, I do not have any terminal illness, I have not been secretly hospitalized, and I have no intention of retiring from the entertainment industry!"

To make his argument more convincing, he even did a few push-ups on the spot: "See? Does this level of stamina look like someone who's sick?"

However, the comments section started to go off-topic:

Why do I pant when I do push-ups?

[You're tired after only ten?]

[I guess I just ran out of energy?]

G-Dragon looked at the comments with a look of utter despair: "Ugh! I just haven't worked out in a long time! And this is a live stream, I can't possibly do a hundred, can I?"

Su You was laughing so hard she couldn't stand up straight, so she quickly handed him some water: "Calm down, calm down."

To further prove his good health, G-Dragon decided to showcase his recent "health regimen results." He pulled out a thermos and proudly said, "See? I drink this now, goji berry and red date tea, healthy, right?"

Unexpectedly, this move has sparked a new round of criticism:

Oh no, everyone's starting to focus on health now!

Who among young people drinks this?

[It seems there's something wrong with his health after all.]

As G-Dragon looked at the comments, his expression shifted from smugness to despair. Finally, he buried his face in Su You's shoulder and said, "I don't want to live anymore... How can they interpret everything as me being sick?"

Su You patted his back to comfort him and said to the camera, "He's really fine, he's just... adjusting his lifestyle recently."

These words only made the comments section even more lively:

Why the sudden change in lifestyle habits?

Did the physical exam reveal a problem?

【Unnie, don't hide it from us!】

Divine assistance arrives!

Just as the two were about to reach a point where they couldn't explain themselves clearly, the doorbell suddenly rang.

G-Dragon was overjoyed: "Wait, let me open the door, the delivery might have arrived."

He jogged away from the camera, leaving Su You alone to face it. The comments section immediately began "interrogating" Su You:

[Unnie, is Oppa really okay?]

Has he been going to the hospital frequently lately?

Su You answered seriously, "He's really fine. He went to the hospital because..." She suddenly stopped, almost letting slip that they were going for a pre-pregnancy checkup.

Just then, G-Dragon returned with the takeout, followed by an uninvited guest—Seungri!

"Hey! Live broadcast?" Seungri acted like he was part of the group, squeezing right into the frame. "I heard my brother was seriously ill, so I came here to see him one last time!"

G-Dragon covered his mouth and said, "Shut up!"

But it was too late. The victory sent the comments section into a frenzy:

Even Seungri is here! Things must be very serious!

[Did you come to spend your brother's last moments with him?]

[Waaaaah, no!]

Seungri broke free from G-Dragon's hand, stared wide-eyed at the comments section, and exclaimed, "What 'last moments'? My brother is perfectly fine!"

He turned to G-Dragon and looked him up and down: "Hyung, didn't you say you had that... something about not being able to eat spicy food?"

"When did I say that?!" G-Dragon was practically going crazy.

"You said that when we had hot pot last time," Seungri said innocently, "You said you had to avoid certain foods lately, and couldn't eat anything too spicy. I thought you had hemorrhoids..."

"Lee Seung-hyun!!!" Kwon Ji-yong rushed over and covered his mouth, his whole face turning bright red.

Su You was laughing so hard she couldn't speak, and the comment section was flooded with "hahahaha" and "I get it".

The truth is gradually coming to light.

After Seungri's outburst, the atmosphere in the live stream actually lightened considerably. G-Dragon, seemingly resigned to his fate, sat back down on the sofa: "Fine, I'll just tell the truth."

He took a deep breath: "I have been adjusting my lifestyle recently, but it's really not because I'm sick. It's because..."

He looked at Su You, who smiled and nodded.

“It’s because of me and Yuzu,” G-Dragon said, squeezing Su Yu’s hand and his expression softening, “we’re considering…our future plans.”

This ambiguous statement was immediately interpreted by fans as the truth:

Is she about to have a baby dragon?!

【Ahhh, I get it! They're trying to conceive!】

So, you're giving up coffee to prepare for pregnancy?

No wonder my unnie is also taking care of her health!

Seeing the accurate guesses in the comments section, G-Dragon and Su You exchanged a smile, not directly admitting it, but their sweet expressions said it all.

Seungri, standing nearby, suddenly realized, "Ah! So hyung, you weren't sick, you're going to be a dad! You should have said so sooner! I've been worried for so long!"

His announcement was tantamount to an official confirmation. The comment section was instantly flooded with blessings:

Congratulations, Brother Long!

Looking forward to Little Dragon!

[That's why you should start taking care of your health after you become a father!]

Wishing you happiness!

Live broadcast ends: A heartwarming conclusion

Looking at the screen full of blessings, G-Dragon finally smiled with relief: "Thank you everyone. So please stop spreading rumors that I'm sick. I'm really healthy and can sing for another fifty years."

Su You added, "Thank you for your concern, but we hope this matter can take its natural course. Please give us some space."

Seungri chimed in from the side, "So why didn't you just say it directly, hyung? Why go through all that trouble!"

G-Dragon rolled his eyes at him: "This is a private matter, I didn't originally plan to talk about it so soon."

"So what do we do now?" Shengli asked.

"What else can we do?" G-Dragon put his arm around Su You and smiled at the camera. "Since everyone already knows, then... stay tuned?"

The live stream ended in a warm atmosphere. After turning it off, G-Dragon breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, everything is clear."

Su You leaned on his shoulder: "Although the process was a bit chaotic, the result was not bad."

Sure enough, after the live stream ended, the hashtag #G-DragonAndSuYouPreparingForPregnancy# immediately topped the trending charts, debunking all the previous rumors about him being sick. Fans expressed their understanding and support, and some even created various funny memes, turning this farcical incident into a heartwarming meme.

Subsequent impact

The next day, G-Dragon received a message from Taeyang: "So you guys did a live stream just for this? Couldn't you have just told me?"

G-Dragon replied: [Tell you? And then let the entire entertainment industry know?]

Senior Yang Xianshuo also called, his voice booming with laughter: "Great! This is wonderful news! I definitely want to come to the baby's one-month celebration!"

Even the studio team members suddenly realized: "So that's why our boss quit coffee before! You should have said so earlier, we thought you had a terminal illness!"

This initially troublesome rumor storm ultimately ended with a hilarious live stream. For G-Dragon and Su You, this unexpected "official announcement" made their future plans clearer and more resolute.
