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 119 Life after the public relationship
◎Interpreting the cross-invasion of each other's life traces.◎
This is not only the first time that Kwon Ji-yong has publicly acknowledged a relationship, but also the first time that Song Yu has acknowledged love. What's even more rare is that this relationship is ongoing.
Just think about these two people who posted a message together to confess their love, and now they are in the same room, in one of the houses where they were photographed by D agency.
The onlookers find it exciting just by imagining it.
Oh my god! I finally caught Kwon Ji-yong and Song Yu in an ongoing relationship.
Compared to the fact that Song Yu rarely talks about her private life and relationship status on the show, it is still the Korean variety show that dares to ask. If it were a domestic entertainment program, if you dared to ask questions about the private lives of artists, you would be forced to apologize and explain by the fans of the popular artists.
But the hosts on the shows are generally very tactful and they won't ask questions that haven't been prepared in advance.
But it’s different in South Korea.
Before joining the army, in a group variety show, when the host asked him about the breakup rumors and the relationship rumors at the same time, Kwon Ji-yong changed his mind very quickly and jokingly said, "If I admit the relationship rumors, does that mean I have to admit the breakup rumors?"
I said on the spot that I had no further comment.
In the later stage of the program, the team also made a cute little special effect for him, indicating that Kwon Ji-yong would not take the bait!
Many fans who turned haters like to use this point to attack him, saying that he is "irresponsible", "what kind of man is he", "allowing fans to attack the woman", "an innocent boy in his thirties"...
Of course, Quan Zhilong never had the chance to see these negative reviews on the Chinese Internet. Even when he often posted negative comments on Chinese Internet platforms for a period of time later, he never had the chance to see them.
Quan Zhilong came here to surf the Internet to check the updates about his girlfriend.
He is not so full that he has nothing to do and comes to the Chinese Internet to read negative reviews about himself, looking for trouble!
Following last night's confession of love, the number of comments on the two people's respective dynamic accounts has been increasing at an exponential rate. People with jet lag from all over the world have also joined in, and the situation has turned into a mixture of various languages.
But neither the blessing messages nor the malicious comments have any impact on the two parties involved.
Because after sending these social messages in response, they tacitly put down their phones and agreed to disconnect from the Internet tonight and not read these online rumors.
"Ah, the world is finally quiet."
When he woke up early in the morning, Kwon Ji-yong looked at the message sent by his agent on his mobile phone and said: There is no problem with work. As for the online public opinion trends, the company has been monitoring it and there is no unusual trend at present.
Just throw your phone aside and forget about it.
I hugged the quilt, rolled around, and continued to sleep.
His American schedule and Korean schedule are still in conflict.
The same is true for Song Yu.
But her schedule is better than Quan Zhilong's. She sleeps until around ten o'clock and wakes up naturally. After washing up, she lies down leisurely and starts to deal with the information and work since the Internet was disconnected last night.
There are friends who have returned to the Chinese entertainment industry to develop, and friends who used to be in the Korean entertainment industry. There are both teasing and blessings.
She replied one by one.
Perhaps it was because Kwon Ji-yong had too many experiences of being exposed in the past, so his assistant Huahua told her that the focus of the first half of the hot search list from last night to today was on her.
But in the second half...
The baton of the main force was passed to her boyfriend.
Little assistant: Sister Yu, my brother-in-law’s CP group is better than yours.
Finally, he could call him "brother-in-law" with a clear conscience. The assistant's change of words made Song Yu stunned for a second.
This guy changed his tune...really quickly.
Then I continued reading.
The group of CPs that broke down last night were not only Song Yu’s domestic entertainment harem CPs, but also Quan Zhilong.
From the screenshots sent by assistant Huahua, we can clearly see several familiar Chinese and English names, such as: Quan's former rumored girlfriend number one, rumored female number, rumored girlfriend number two...
Quan's former teammate number one, former teammate number two...
Following it are the names of Song Yu’s former partner No. 1, former partner No. 2, and current partner So-and-so.
Oh~ and the name of the ex-boyfriend who was once suspected but never admitted.
Song Yu felt his eyelids twitching just by looking at the screenshots sent by his assistant.
Oh my god~ She disconnected from the internet last night because she didn’t want to see such an annoying scene. The assistant even took screenshots of everything and sent them to her.
I don't understand the boss's efforts at all.
Song Yu thought: Last night must have been a carnival night for all the onlookers!
In a cross-border chat, the boss's thought just flashed through his mind, and the assistant Huahua who was reporting to him was like a worm in her stomach, and the next sentence followed.
Assistant: Sister, that scene was simply a battle of CP.
Huahua, the assistant far away in China, happily reported her work to her boss. She felt that this time she had done a job like staying up late to monitor online public opinion...quite well.
What does it mean to eat melons with pay? Isn’t this it?
Especially with the current CP fan attributes, the protagonist admits his love, and seeing the other CP fans' defense-breaking faces, who would be happy!!!
Anyway, she enjoyed it.
Especially remarks like this, you can find them everywhere if you just click on the comments section of any blog post.
"Haha! You said you would never respond to romantic relationships. With this speed of admitting love, has Quan Zhilong been possessed? Among so many CPs, he only admitted to loving an unknown CP."
"Is that so? He admitted it so decisively. What do you think of the ex-girlfriends who were photographed before? What a heartless man."
'Hahaha, I went online yesterday to check on SJ's rumored ex-girlfriends, and sure enough, the comments section below was quite updated in real time with multiple languages.'
"What's with the real-time commentary? I want to see it too!!"
"Men are dogs. I'm afraid they despised their previous partners for not being presentable enough. Now that they're dating a top-tier actress with top looks and popularity, they openly acknowledge her. It's a pity for the young ladies who weren't acknowledged before. Lao Long is just a realistic man after all."
"Song Yu is the same! She never admitted to any of the rumors before, but she admitted it this time. It turns out she's just taking advantage of her brother-in-law's fame!"
"They're rumored to be back together. Song Yu and Kwon Yong were rumored to be dating while working in South Korea. They were also photographed by the Han River. Both SM and YG denied it at the time. I never thought they'd be exposed again over a decade later, also by the Han River. It turns out even big stars would go there to countdown the New Year. Pretty down-to-earth, I think."
"I agree. Lao Long will be back in the second half of 2024. He even flew to China several times in the first half of the year. He's really in love with me."
"We're all adults in our thirties. Why can't we just admit we're in a relationship? If we deny it, we'll be called irresponsible, right?"
"A bunch of CP fans are just upset. That's all."
"Song Yu is not unknown, she's a top actress in China. It just means these two are keeping their relationship low-key. I looked at their fan count and it's said they didn't even have 300 followers before the news broke. But after Dispatch broke the news, it skyrocketed to 10,000 overnight. That's incredible."
'Old Dragon is actually straight?'
"I've always been straight! Forget about the promotional teammates CP, Quan Long had a lot of conversations before Song Yu went public!"
"I laughed! I never thought that after my dragon made his relationship public, the biggest joy for his fans was that they could finally get rid of the rotten dogs."
"Don't be like that. Maybe all the BB members will be able to be together on Lao Long's wedding day. You should thank Song Yu."
The topic gradually went off track, so the assistant stopped watching and instead found the super topic couple mentioned in the comments and clicked on it to take a look.
Sure enough, the number of people has exceeded 10,000.
Many previously overlooked pieces of information have been exposed by netizens all at once, and various comparison pictures of the same items have been copied and reposted by marketing accounts. And...
Assistant: Sister, is this you?
Attached is a screenshot that looks like from the video.
Under the blurred light and shadow of the night, all you can see is that the blogger accidentally recorded a young couple in the distance while filming.
Netizens' sharp eyes were able to find traces of them in a passerby video from 2023. When the screenshot was enlarged to the extreme, it could be seen that they were kissing.
The facial contours are also similar.
But if we say it's them, this...
That's too far-fetched!
Song Yu stared blankly for two seconds, remembering that they were in Hangzhou at that time. Could it be that time... when Quan Zhilong suddenly asked about his ex?
It turned out that they noticed someone was filming them secretly, and it was actually recorded by a passerby's camera. The two of them finally fled in panic.
Assistant: It doesn’t look like it!
Even she, a fan of the couple, doesn't think they look alike.
This screenshot was suddenly posted last night. Considering the current rumors and evidence, it did not cause much of a stir. Compared to the photos of the pets confessing their love and all the similar items that were suddenly discovered, this screenshot of what looked like a street kiss was not believed by many people.
Song Yu had just typed "yes" and then deleted it.
Well, it seems that even after the most solid evidence came out, no one believed it, so why should she admit it?
Just treat it as an unsolved mystery.
Because of Taotao's disappearance, the restoration of the world line here erased many traces of them left in 2023.
Even if Dispatch were tracking them, the timeline only goes back to 2024. The unanimous belief that they had been dating for only one year was indeed incorrect.
Song Yu lowered his eyes slightly, and in the empty space, as if talking to himself, he whispered a name, "Taotao".
She must have returned to her real parents.
They in that world also live in this house.
When Song Yu looked ahead, it was as if he could transcend time and space and see another scene of a family of three. In the same space, Taotao was still living in this house.
In a sense, she didn't leave.
.
Life after making the relationship public is no different from before. At most, when she appears in the public eye, she receives a wave of inquiring glances.
In their respective career development, they remain two independent individuals, and their private lives do not affect their work.
The two of them are not crazy and would not mention their significant other's names while working.
At most, people I know well might tease me a few times on the show, and that's the limit.
Everyone has a good sense of propriety.
What's more, Song Yu is no longer in the Korean entertainment circle, and she is not adapted to the Korean circle's practices in the domestic entertainment circle.
Besides, who here is familiar with Quan Zhilong? Who would mention him in front of her like they are so familiar with each other?
So for Song Yu’s fans, even if it is made public... they can also just turn a blind eye.
Anyway, the real owner won’t bring it up on his own initiative.
However, Kwon Ji-yong, who is active in the Korean entertainment circle, was later on the show. The host of the show, who was an old acquaintance of everyone, occasionally made a teasing hint, which made Song Yu's fans so angry that they cursed him privately and gave him the nickname "Kwan Chong" brother-in-law.
The title of "brother-in-law" has also become a taboo in Song Yu's fan circle.
In the comment section below the account "Her Assistant", anyone who dares to mention the title "brother-in-law" again will be called to the police.
As for the former real brother-in-law, Quan Zhilong's impersonation, the secret is still hidden. Fans have always believed that it was Song Yu's assistant who operated the account.
Based on the principle of less trouble is worse than more, assistant Huahua silently accepted the traces of Quan Zhilong's operations.
Since the news broke at the beginning of the year, Song Yu has been staying in South Korea. After the news was made public, the two can finally appear openly on IG in the circle of friends.
Although they did not personally show their affection, everyone soon discovered that the way the couple Quan Zhilong and Song Yu showed their affection had become more sophisticated.
They don’t have to appear on each other’s accounts, but they can often be seen in the circles of people around them.
An alternative way to show your presence.
It powerfully illustrates what "cross-invasion of each other's life traces" means.
During the Spring Festival of 2025, a peek into the dynamics of their mutual friends revealed real-time updates on the whereabouts of the two.
Like some kind of "viral" spread, "Happy New Year" has become a new code word for some kind of meme, and it was first played out in the social circles of the two.
Today it is the turn of someone who posted a picture that does not match the text, and that is Lee Joo Hyuk.
He posted: "Happy New Year!", but the picture he attached was the aurora.
Well, fans all know that during the private vacation in January, this year it was not a family trip, but a trip with friends.
They made an appointment to go on vacation abroad.
