Synopsis: As 2023 began, rumors of Kwon Jiyong's romantic life continued to circulate among media and fans, merely speculative as he had never admitted to any relationship. What can you do? Sin...
Chapter 112: Return to Drama Life
◎It has nothing to do with intention, it is just a coincidence of fate.◎
It has been a long time since I last bought a property in South Korea.
She also didn't expect that she would choose to keep a "home" here again.
Song Yu simply felt that every time he came to Korea, he would go to Quan Zhi's house, which was too eye-catching.
Coupled with the influence of the drama Wasteland, it was beyond her imagination.
Just over a year later, I came to Korea again to participate in a public event for the brand I endorsed, and it had two different experiences.
To put it bluntly, it is the artist's intuitive experience of his or her own popularity.
During her last brand endorsement, Song Yu felt that she was just another Chinese actress who was treated very well at the event.
Korean popularity is still a thing of the past.
But what about Song Yu who came this time?
When we landed at the airport, we felt the difference.
A kind of offline feedback from the hit drama.
At this time, she didn't dare to do anything wrong as she did before, relying on the fact that she was not in China and walking on the streets of a foreign country.
Even if she was standing next to Kwon Ji-yong and noticed the camera was secretly filming, she could put on a mask, cover her eyes with a hat, lower her head, and pretend to be ignorant, pretending to be an unknown female amateur.
In the first half of the year, Song Yu asked her sister-in-law Jin Xizhu, who is a pure Korean, to handle the property purchase procedures.
After the event in South Korea in September, the team returned to Beijing before Song Yu, following the same process as last time. She will stay in South Korea for a while and wait for the next work to start before returning.
Unlike the hotel where there were many people and eyes, Song Yu felt more at ease when he returned to his private residence.
So, what about this father and daughter duo!
Quan Zhilong also has many real estate properties in South Korea, come to Song Yu's place~
Then take my daughter over.
It’s just that the cat at home doesn’t like to change the environment frequently, so they still focus on Kwon Ji-yong’s house in Hannam-dong.
In the past few months, when Song Yu was not in South Korea, he would occasionally come here to rest, depending on how far the filming location was from here.
For a while, the filming location was closer to him than going back to his house in Hannam-dong.
On the night that the event ended, Song Yu returned to her private apartment. As soon as she entered the door, she was hugged by Quan Zhilong who was waiting in the dark.
If she hadn't known he'd come over earlier, she would have thought she was being held hostage by a burglar.
He looked like a pet waiting for his owner to come home, but in fact, he arrived an hour earlier than Song Yu, and the lingering smell of the filming site still lingered on him.
"Oh my god, you've lost weight so fast."
Turning around and holding the face, Song Yu looked at it carefully. He touched Quan Zhilong's chin and found that the feeling was completely different from a few months ago.
It gradually became a pointed piece, showing signs of turning into an awl. This person loved to rub against her neck. Song Yu felt more like she was being "hunted" by an awl, rubbing against her all the time.
My habit of losing weight as soon as I start working remains unchanged, and I have lost almost as much weight as I lost last year while taking care of my kids.
Song Yu touched his waist with evil intentions and made two circles around it.
Smiling, she said to him, "Oppa~ If Taotao throws you to the ground at this moment and plays a horse riding game, your waist will be broken."
That’s right~ When little Taotao first came, she loved playing the throwing game with her dad the most.
Then she sat on Quan Zhilong and played on the wooden horse, riding her father as if he were a horse. If she were Xiao Taotao, who had just arrived last year, she would have met Quan Zhilong in his current size.
Quan Zhilong must have gone to the hospital that morning!
Little Taotao might break her father's waist by sitting on it.
Song Yu felt amused but also a little distressed.
As the person being hugged, I can actually feel the other person's bones first. When the two of them stand together a few months later, will Kwon Ji-yong look thinner than her?
Song Yu had seen photos of Kwon Ji-yong from two years ago. In 22 years, probably due to his mood and experiences during that time, he lost a lot of weight, even worse than when he was on tour before joining the army.
His haters laughed at him, saying he looked like a deflated Hello Kitty balloon, so thin that only his head was left, which was too big to be a visual impact.
Quan Zhilong has a small frame, so it would not look out of place if he wore women's clothes.
Maybe Quan Zhilong can really wear her clothes.
Song Yu thought so and said it out loud unconsciously.
As soon as she finished speaking, someone pinched her face with a light force, so it didn't hurt at all.
Quan Zhilong: "Ah! You bad boy~".
He spoke weakly, but his tone was still gentle.
"I'm almost exhausted during this period~" As soon as he finished speaking, he put his head on her shoulder and arched his back against her neck softly, just like a little puppy acting coquettishly and trying to please her.
People who stay up all night are drained of all their energy and fall asleep as soon as they go home.
It was the same with the house over here. I slept until Brother Lao Hu called, but I didn't answer.
I went straight up to find him, fearing that he might have had an accident in the house.
Quan Zhilong lay on her like a piece of soft bone and refused to get up. In the end, Song Yu couldn't do anything about him. The two of them started quarreling from the door, gradually moved to the sofa, and finally huddled together.
It is not easy for couples to meet each other. Even if one of them is exhausted, he will stick to the other and hold on to him tightly. What's more, Kwon Ji-yong is the type who likes to act coquettishly in front of his lover and insists that he is recharging.
Quan Zhilong grumbled in a scoundrelly manner: "No matter what, I just want to charge!"
Song Yu, who was helplessly used as a "charging station", was held by him like this. The young couple cuddled on the sofa, and her new drama was playing in front of them.
The first season of Wasteland has been released, with a total of twenty episodes, but the length of each episode is only two-thirds of that of a Korean drama.
Song Yu was surprised to find that the playback progress here was only halfway through!
What does this indicate?
This means Kwon Ji-Dong is also watching the drama in Korea!
Oh no~ they can't be synchronized. He would just take a look when he had time, but now his pace and progress, all added together, is half behind others.
I haven't finished watching the drama, but I have already seen all the spoilers about the many "new boyfriends" that Song Yu has gained on the set.
"ah?"
Song Yu was confused as she listened to Quan Zhilong talking about "boyfriend" and "new husband". She remembered that the heroine in the drama had no CP!
When she later met these fanatical fans in Korea and was publicly called names like "tiger or wolf", she finally remembered what Quan meant by "being a real boyfriend for one night".
There was a sour tone in his voice at that time.
For many actors, the act of reviewing their own work is embarrassing, like being publicly executed.
However, Song Yu had just finished the Wasteland promotional period, various online live broadcasts on the accompanying viewing platform, and the accompanying viewing and chatting of the finale.
She's used to it.
Besides, this drama has no love line, so you don’t have to face the embarrassing scene of watching your own kissing scenes.
Although Kwon Ji-yong also likes to chase dramas and watch shows like dating variety shows, during the period of preparing for his comeback, the only thing on his mind was the focus on his return.
Originally, it was due to the stimulation of those "boyfriend" declaration words. One night after returning home, my little hand unconsciously opened my girlfriend's new drama as if possessed by a ghost.
From then on, I started to chase the drama.
It turns out to be a drama theme that men like.
Song Yu's makeup in the drama is unusual. Although her character is decent at heart, her image looks like a villain witch walking out of the darkness.
On the pale cheek, half of the face is dotted with some dark lines. After the post-production special effects, these lines look like the marks of some ancient runes, winding from one side of the cheek to the chin, and finally disappearing behind the ear.
Jane Ye's most iconic feature in the first season was her long silver hair. During the filming, in order to maintain this hair color, Song Yu, who had not messed with her hair since returning from South Korea, experienced the idol's hair bleaching experience for half a year.
If she hadn't changed her hairstyle at the end, Song Yu would have had to bleach her hair for a year to maintain her silver hair. Her scalp is not as resistant as Kwon Ji-yong's.
The man was immediately hooked, but after watching one episode, he forced himself to end it.
Wait until tomorrow to continue with the next episode.
So when Song Yu came back, he saw his progress in watching the drama and it became like this.
While following the drama "Girlfriend", some new ideas keep emerging in my mind. Kwon Ji-yong is more devoted to the creative points of this comeback album.
When Song Yu remembered that neither of them had eaten, he looked in the refrigerator and decided to make whatever ingredients he could find.
The main reason is that Quan Zhilong, who often comes here, is not a good cook.
The edible ingredients in the refrigerator were from the ones Brother Tiger cooked for the father and daughter when he came up last time.
Song Yu estimated that the ingredients left inside could be used to make two bowls of simple noodles.
Curled up on the sofa and after watching an episode of a TV series, Kwon Ji-yong noticed his girlfriend in the kitchen out of the corner of his eye. This scene felt familiar.
Last year, during their free time, at home in Beijing, at home in Hannam-dong, at a hotel in Hangzhou, at a B&B in Yunnan... every bit of memory had the presence of the two of them, new memories created by them, belonging only to the two of them.
Although he is not as good as Quan Zhilong in 2025 in that world who truly formed a family with Song Yu, Quan Zhilong, who is now in 2024, feels that his current situation is not much worse than his.
Isn’t he having the happy life that I once envied 25 Zhilong?
In the comeback interview program that he had seen on his mobile phone screen, the 25-year-old Zhilong that he saw openly talked about his happy family, beautiful wife and lovely daughter to the program PD outside the camera, and the impact of an unexpected disaster on him, and the life insights he gained from it.
During the few years when he did not return to his amateur life as a singer, his personal mentality became more and more calm... The scene changed, and now he came to this world of time and space and became the Kwon Ji-yong here.
It was replayed.
It turns out that the lives they have lived have ended up in the same place in the end.
Fortunately, the endings are all equally beautiful.
.
As we enter October, 2024 is approaching the end of the year, and there seems to be no movement on Kwon Ji-yong's return as he promised at the beginning of the year.
Is it going to be delayed again this year?
Didn’t they say that they were spotted shooting new song materials a while ago?
Could it be another false rumor?
Given his perfectionist nature, it is understandable that he had a seven-year hiatus from personal activities and a mentality of striving for excellence.
With the time in 2024 getting shorter and shorter, fans have even thought of reasons for their idols.
We've already waited for seven years, so we don't mind waiting for one more year, right?
But at this moment, when everyone was caught off guard, the news that artist GD would participate in the recording of "You Quiz On The Block" spread quickly.
A prelude to some kind of comeback.
This time, everyone found that it was not just another new version of the story of "The Wolf is Coming", but it was really coming.
As soon as the news of GD's participation in the recording came out, it was quickly reported and confirmed by multiple media outlets.
The latest Korean website report [Kwon Ji-yong recorded the "You Quiz On The Block" program with the national MC on October 2, 2024. 】
This Korean title was copied and spread on the Chinese Internet on the same day. Later, the TV station tvn also officially confirmed that Kwon Ji-yong participated in the recording.
It was not until mid-to-late October that the current episode was finished and the guest preview for the next episode was released as usual. A long-lost figure appeared in front of countless people through the screens of electronic devices.
A program trailer that was only a dozen seconds long was quickly viewed overwhelmingly on the official YouTube account and was translated into multiple languages for dissemination.
On the Korean Internet, GD and the program team's names appeared side by side in the top trending searches.
G-Dragon's name was the most searched topic.
Just like a cool scene in some drama, the man who was treated as a criminal last year staged a beautiful comeback, and despite the overwhelming media rumors and public malice, a year later, in the same October of this year, he announced his return to his original career as a singer in a high-profile manner as the big star GD.
Quan Zhilong really fulfilled his promise.
Song Yu sometimes sighs: This guy's life is really a big drama.
Regardless of whether it was his intention or not, fate had arranged things in such a coincidence.
The program was aired in late October, marking the beginning of Kwon Ji-yong's official return to his singing career.
