Chapter 69: Discussion on the Practice Room and Stage Preview...
As Han Shangxi greeted her with a bow, the hoodie's hood fell onto her head with her movement.
Loose-fitting hoodies, which give people a sense of security, can sometimes cause minor hiccups in life.
When she looked up at the person in front of her again, Han Shangxi was now wearing a hat.
Good afternoon, Sanghee.
Kwon Ji-yong, who had originally intended to help the other person tidy up their hands, turned them around in mid-air after remembering the cameramen following behind him.
Kwon Ji-yong began introducing the staff from the organizers to Sang-hee.
Kwon Ji-yong, who was preparing for the group's neon tour, was pulled back by his company to participate in the collaboration stage.
When I heard the news, I was actually quite excited.
His schedule is packed with activities.
Opportunities to see Han Sang-hee are few and far between, and I can't just stand by and watch her have someone else by her side.
In that case, he would truly be considered a failure.
However, even if she wanted to seduce this junior, she would need to make time to take action.
This collaboration stage was a pleasant surprise for Kwon Ji-yong.
Although this additional collaboration platform will further squeeze his time, it's not so bad as long as he can see the other party.
Especially when they find out that the other person has chosen them from among the members.
He is still Shangxi's first choice, isn't he?
Even if the scope is limited to the combination.
Kwon Ji-yong automatically ignored the influence of Han Sang-hee's Paracosm identity on his choice in this matter.
After angering Sang-hee with his previous offer of a breakup gift, Sang-hee automatically becomes distant whenever Kwon Ji-yong sees her.
It was a bit of a headache, but there were always other people around when they met, so Kwon Ji-yong couldn't really do anything about it.
The text message wasn't blocked, but there was no response either, which left him wondering what the other person was thinking.
Han Shangxi's idea was actually very simple.
I politely declined this naive senior's offer.
Cross it out.
The reason I didn't reply was that every message she sent sounded like she was being coquettish.
Especially after I found out she broke up with her boyfriend.
It would seem strange if she replied.
Moreover, she had responded to this person about serious matters, such as the song adaptation for this collaboration stage.
As for whether he was still angry about the joke about the early breakup gift, Han Sang-hee refused to answer the question.
Today's practice was only possible because Kwon Ji-yong took time out of his schedule to come back from overseas.
There was originally a segment planned to feature a surprise cameraman appearing during the two's practice, but they bumped into Kwon Ji-yong when they went upstairs because his flight was delayed.
This step was left unresolved.
Having guessed the identities of these people in the elevator, Kwon Ji-yong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I realized before entering that it was much better than being suddenly pushed open the door during practice.
Although they were just practicing for their upcoming collaboration, the way they present themselves is different when there are cameras around and when there aren't.
He needs to be more mindful of his behavior in front of the camera.
Kwon Ji-yong didn't want Han Sang-hee to get hurt because of their collaboration on stage.
Han Sang-hee readily accepted Kwon Ji-yong's introduction and greeted the staff members carrying cameras and the host who had arrived.
During the subsequent practice time, the two practiced and discussed adjustments to the performance while being watched by several people nearby.
Both of them are serious about their work.
The surprise camera lost its original purpose because it was discovered prematurely.
However, the organizers wouldn't miss this opportunity to take photos.
Shoot more footage, and you're bound to capture something.
Thus, the first official sweet video of the Zhi Shang CP was born.
[Li Tao, regarding the year-end collaboration stage for two solo performances]
LZ: The practice room preview for the latest collaboration stage has killed both sides' fans after watching it.
Quanlong's bracket smile, Shang Jie's face-covering smile—all the Zhi Shang CP fans must be going crazy over this TT
1L: I'm not sure if the CP fans are crazy about it, but I know exactly what Yang Hsu and MAMA are thinking about to create hype.
2L: It's actually quite enjoyable to ship. Whether it's the senior-junior relationship as a pure romance or a subtle, unspoken pairing, it's all very enjoyable.
6L: I need an official guide on how to avoid messing with both sides' fans. Do collaborative performances always have to involve shipping (couple pairings)?
21L: Wait, didn't you guys notice that the two of them seem to be practicing a new song in their practice room? It's their new song!
22L: Um, can you tell if it's a new song from just a few seconds of audio in the teaser upstairs? [Scratching head]
27L: It's probably not a new song; it feels like a cover. As for which of these two artists' works it's covering, I have no idea.
31L: I really have to look forward to this. I have a feeling it will be very pleasant for my ears.
33L: Um, Sister Shang, could you please revise that diss track from a while ago? I want to hear the official version [starry eyes]. Didn't Kwon Yong also speak to Sister Shang when he was asked about it by reporters a few days ago? How about the two of you make a victory celebration diss track together?
35L: In that case, Shang Jie is going to get dissed again, right? Wasn't Shang Jie's diss track a response to some unknown rapper who accused her of using her seniors to get ahead? Including a senior in a diss track... maybe she should consider her fragile heart being dissed, lol.
36L: Oh my, I almost forgot the reason for this if the person upstairs hadn't mentioned it.
43L: The response song is even more widely circulated than the diss track; Sister Shang is that authoritative!
49L: I'm so glad these two could even appear in the same frame. I'm always afraid their fans will start fighting on the day of the performance.
52L: To be honest, these two fans will also argue even if they're not in the same frame.
57L: Haven't these two companies let each other off the hook yet? It's rare to see such a tenacious rivalry.
63L: Actually, once you've had a fight, it's rare to be able to get back to being amicable. Just like couples who have broken up, you can't expect them to be friendly again when they meet. Every time I see my ex, I mentally curse him as a bastard.
66L: Speaking of couples, weren't there rumors before that Quanlong and Shangjie were dating? Was it a real relationship or just a joke? I still remember how much of a fuss it caused back then, and that's when their respective fan groups became staunch rivals.
71L: It's quite amazing that they can still maintain such a dignified relationship after actually having a real one.
73L: I'm more inclined to believe that it was just a flirtatious relationship at that time, with the two players testing each other.
82L: Just passing by as a fan of the "Shang-Zhi" couple. Are there really people who actually ship these two as a real couple? Aren't all people who ship real-life couples just shipping something shameful? [scratching head]
83L: Okay, all you ZhiShang CP fans upstairs, please step back. Seeing you ZhiShang CP fans always reminds me of the psychological trauma inflicted on me by that immoral literature poster.
91L: Actually, there are still people who ship pure romance stories. For example, me [peeking out]
92L: Shang Jie was so open about her relationships before, how could you, the person upstairs, be so into it? I'm genuinely puzzled.
95L: Did Quanlong try to cover it up when he talked about it?
101L: Anyway, it's better than Sister Shang getting criticized for having a relationship.
102L: Oh, what the person upstairs said is the same as Quanlong not going offstage the next day to speak up for Sister Shang.
"I think Sanghee is a very serious and hardworking junior, and I personally don't really believe some of the rumors." These are Kwon Yong's exact words.
110L: I smell gunpowder in the air. [Eating popcorn emoji]
115L: I always feel that the love-hate relationship between the two fan groups is more worthy of careful consideration than the relationship between the two artists themselves kkk
118L: Let's focus on the relationship between these two. Watching fans argue gets tiresome after a while. They just keep using the same old arguments.
123L: People always talk about "sweet moments," but what celebrities actually do under the watchful eyes of cameras and staff isn't really anything special.
It's all work.
127L: The fact that Zhishang can generate buzz here shows there's something between them.
128L: For example?
131L: Shang Jie has never interacted with the other four members of BB in private.
Quan Long inexplicably liked and then unliked Shang Jiesi's post.
132L: Does anyone actually use this as a candy snack?
144L: Longtime fans don't care about these things anymore. Sometimes seeing young people arguing makes me nostalgic for the old days. Whether Long Ge talks about it or not is his freedom; releasing songs is what he cares about most. Sanghee, please give this guy a good beating, kkk.
150L: ...Shang Jie's fan is passing by, speechless. Can someone from Quanlong's fandom please ban so-called veteran fans from commenting here?
It feels like stepping back into the Goryeo era. But BB has only been in the industry for six or seven years, right?
151L: I understand what you mean TT Sometimes I really doubt whether I've liked him long enough or whether I'm old enough. Why can't I say something that sounds old-fashioned when I liked Kwon Yong when BB debuted?
163: It turns out that even the Dragon Rider and the Monk Sister have moments of harmonious coexistence.
Let's all thank 144L for their contribution, shall we?
168L: To be honest, given Shang Jie's love-struck personality, I wouldn't be surprised if she really fell for Quan Long now. After all, a substitute can never replace the white moonlight.
171L: Sister Shang, love-struck? Substitute, white moonlight?
174L: 168L, what you said is a little strange. Even if you're into the most immoral thing, it shouldn't be this bizarre.
177L: I really wish the 2012 apocalypse would come true, so that I wouldn't see 168L's words a year later.
181L: Saying that Sister Shang is love-struck is less accurate than saying that Quan Long is love-struck; I can at least be somewhat skeptical of the latter.
184L: Shang Jie has always been very gentle when she's in a relationship. Didn't someone in your section complain before that Shang Jie's ex-boyfriend cried while saying that Shang Jie was too gentle after being dumped?
187L: My ex's reputation...
188L: Okay, enough of that. Can I talk about Sister Shang?
190L: Upstairs you're talking about Sister Shang, Quanlong is mine now.
193L: Actually, these two artists are just collaborators. There's too much speculation going on here.
200L: So what was the meaning behind the incident these two caused at the beginning of this year?
203L: Maybe it's so that I can pretend to be colleagues with my ex now.
206L: Wait, how did they become exes without even a press release?
211L: Does the insider information from Waiji that Shang Jie had in the early days of her debut not count? Or does the fact that the two of them broke down in their SS mode not exist?
Fans of both sides shouldn't try to unite and erase these two's past.
214L: People who believe those who spread rumors and gossip should get their intelligence tested. After all, even people with low IQs can apply for subsidies.
217L: Should I just believe all the negative rumors from the fans and deny everything? Do you really think your idol's older brother and sister are innocent, pure-hearted children?
218L: It's better than some people who imagine the world to be all dark and bleak.
222L: Forget it, everyone stop arguing. I suggest we put these two on We Got Married so I can confirm whether it's true or not.
230L: I can't even imagine what it would be like. A real war would break out between the two fan groups then. Both Flash and Apink have been targeted by offline anti-fans; if these two groups were to bump into each other offline, they'd definitely fight.
232L: Probably not.
233L: Thinking about it this way, I'm actually kind of looking forward to it kkk
241L: I support both of them appearing on We Got Married, giving the fans a chance to duel [shrug]
246L: I feel sorry for both sides' fans for two seconds. The unnies in this thread are being a bit too sharp-tongued. [facepalm]
