Chapter 47 frequently features ear cartilage piercings + GD...
When Kwon Ji-yong received the gift from his junior, he had just returned from an overseas tour.
The ear cartilage studs, inlaid with pink diamonds, lay quietly in the gift box.
Kwon Ji-yong's first reaction upon seeing this was, "This girl probably spent all her own salary on this."
Having some knowledge of jewelry, he could tell that the gift was quite valuable.
Receiving such a valuable gift from a junior for the first time, Kwon Ji-yong stared blankly at the contents of Sang-hee's handwritten card for a while.
I just felt it suited me, so I bought it as a gift for myself.
Is this child trying to downplay the value of the gift with nonchalant words?
When giving a gift, you should let the recipient know its value.
Kwon Ji-yong unconsciously began to think from Han Sang-hee's perspective.
Han Sang-hee, however, remained much calmer than Kwon Ji-yong.
Leaning back in a chair backstage at the concert, Han Sang-hee, who had just finished rehearsing, received a message from her senior.
She skipped over the senior's long-winded explanation and went straight to replying.
—I just think that would be perfect for a senior like you; the price isn't important.
Besides, you gave me a birthday present and a debut anniversary present this year.
Sometimes she felt that this senior colleague had changed a lot since she first met him.
The senior colleague now speaks more like an older brother, the kind that implies a blood relationship.
At first, she always thought that this senior was just trying to look cool.
The conversation eventually turned to their recent work.
Interestingly, the most frequent content in these two people's chat history was related to songwriting.
If others saw this, they would likely be impressed by the two people's passion for their work.
However, the matter did not end there. Han Sang-hee later received a return gift from Kwon Ji-yong: a pair of watches.
The other party said that they thought both suited her well, so they gave them to her.
The same statement made it impossible for Han Shangxi to refuse.
Seeing Han Sang-hee's slight setback with him, Kwon Ji-yong couldn't help but chuckle.
He seemed completely unconcerned, as if he had invested more money and time in this.
As for those ear cartilage studs?
Naturally, it's something he's been wearing recently.
That child is indeed his junior; he has the same excellent aesthetic sense as him.
The irregularly shaped pink diamond earrings that Kwon Ji-yong often wears have also attracted the attention of fans.
Originally, the fans were discussing how novel the earring design was and how they couldn't find similar styles online.
At most, they might guess the price and marvel at the fact that their idol is not short of money.
...
"Oh, this? It's a gift from a friend."
During the talking segment of the concert, Kwon Ji-yong inadvertently revealed the origin of the ear cartilage studs that have been frequently seen lately.
The way Kwon Ji-yong said this made it hard for others not to think that he wasn't showing off the gift from his friend.
But he's sharing his life with his fans, and he's being affectionate with them. His eyes crinkling like that are absolutely heart-fluttering.
Fans generally enjoy this way of interacting with their idols.
When fans asked if it was a gift from his girlfriend, he just smiled and said, "No, it was from a close friend."
This person is really good at pushing and pulling, to the point that fans sometimes don't know if what they're saying is true.
Even the truth can sometimes be suspected of being a cover-up, like this time.
How can a girlfriend not be considered a close friend?
After hearing Kwon Ji-yong's denial, some audience members silently thought of this phrase.
The atmosphere at the event was not affected by this little incident.
However, after the concert, news about GD's relationship spread like wildfire after he made a simple mention of it.
Of course, among the many suspected individuals, the one who appeared most frequently was the model who was photographed last time.
With the help of the public, and the subsequent friendly cooperation between the two companies, the project was successful.
Both companies stated that regardless of whether the artists have broken up or not, cooperating in publicity stunts is part of the artists' responsibilities. Moreover, it's actually much easier to create publicity after a breakup than when the artists are together.
However, when the company is happy, the fans are usually not so happy.
Didn't we agree to break up?
LZ: Last year you were photographed at an amusement park, and this year you had an ear cartilage piercing during your tour. How has she become a part of your life? When SS said you broke up, I really believed it.
I bought your group album, I bought your solo album, I bought your endorsements. I play your songs on my phone 24/7. I've attended every show of your tour, from Seoul to now.
Why are they starting to hype things up again?
Do you really like that model that much?
1L: As expected, I knew this post would appear when I saw the news today.
5L: See the model and decode instantly.
11L: Do we really have to bring this up here? Wouldn't it be better to just believe what he says? If he hasn't admitted it, then we shouldn't believe him, please.
22L: LZ's experience tells us that you should never like just one idol. As long as you like enough idols, you can always switch to the next one if this one doesn't work out.
32L: After cursing outside, you still have to come here to curse. OP, I'm tired for you even if you're not.
LZ: If I could dislike him, I wouldn't be going crazy in this dark corner like this now.
In the end, it turned out that, aside from his romantic relationships, he was indeed an impeccable and competent idol. He could write songs, charm his fans, and every time I saw him on stage at a concert, I forgot all the news.
Many times I think that if there's another news story like this, I won't like it anymore, but I still feel sorry for him.
He was slandered, condemned by thousands, and had hundreds of thousands of people petition for his suicide. He survived those dark times and continued to shine in front of his fans. Sometimes I really ask myself, should I dislike him because of these things?
I can't help but dislike it, and I can't help but be indifferent to it.
Repeated sit-ups are just my destiny.
Perhaps one day he will be truly happy, and then I can let go.
But not now.
43L: Every sentence doesn't mention love, yet every sentence is filled with love.
58L: The last sentence is probably the last bit of stubbornness from the original poster.
61L: If you like him, you have to put him up here? There are plenty of people who want to buy his endorsements, albums, and concerts.
63L: Actually, I don't think the ear cartilage stud was necessarily a gift from the model. On the bright side, what if it was her new girlfriend?
66L: 63L, you're not letting the original poster off the hook either.
78L: Sigh, personally, I don't think the original poster needs to make him their whole life. Just glancing at him occasionally to recharge is a more comfortable way for us fans to follow celebrities.
78L: A music fan passing by, and a music fan here who's confused. I thought everyone considered BB as a singer group.
LZ: I can consider the others as singers, but he can't.
It's such a waste that he's a singer. He's better suited to being an idol.
If he weren't an idol, my current thoughts wouldn't stand up to any reason.
81L: LZ instantly woke up.jpg This is the first time I've truly felt the huge gap in BB's popularity.
87L: I was initially impressed by how much the original poster loved it, but after seeing their comment, I quietly moved the water bottle away from me. I'm afraid I'll laugh and create a disaster next time I drink water.
The difference between love and not love is really obvious.
99L: Just passing by, a fan of another of his couples. Actually, you don't need to care so much. It's still undecided who gave him the ear cartilage piercing. If you look at the comments from various couples' fans, you'll find that they all say it was given by the other member of their own couple. I don't know if saying this will make you feel better.
101L: He only said it was a gift from a friend, without specifying the gender, so you don't necessarily have to think of it as a romantic gift. [sigh.jpg]
113L: Seriously, don't you guys ship any of the team's in-game couples? The in-game couples are way more real and stable than these rumors [peeking secretly]
LZ: What's this about in-team pairings? Even dogs wouldn't ship them.
132L: It seems the poster this time is a die-hard fan; the fact that she's a solo stan is super obvious kkk
141L: Relax, even if it's not a model, there will be other people involved. But I'm more inclined to think this recent news is just hype. It feels strangely forced?
142L: I agree with the comment above. I also think Jiko is just creating hype right now. These photos of their interactions are too artificial and artificial. Most importantly, the initial ambiguous atmosphere between them is gone. This is the opinion of a fangirl/fanboy.
LZ: Can't he just not talk about it? Okay, let's talk, but next time after we talk, he has to send me a song too. I'm going to listen to some songs now.
By the way, I just glanced at it, and his ear cartilage stud is actually quite nice.
152L: Sure enough, every post eventually ends up being about spoiling.
153L: The reason why people can spoil him is because he has the ability to spoil them.
As an idol, he's already considered a legend.
156L: If you just glance at his SNS comments, you'll see he's been getting a lot of flak because of the scandals. What kind of pampering is this?
167L: Speaking of which, this post can be considered an accident caused by the ear cartilage nail, right?
168L: Why not? lol. Seeing that the poster is in a bad mood but still praises ear cartilage studs, I was curious and searched for some photos as well.
It is indeed quite beautiful.
171L: The sister-in-law who chose this has great taste.
...
This post was resurfaced a few years later, causing another stir.
345L: The ear cartilage stud from back then was actually a gift from Sister Shang? LZ (the original poster) broke down too early [just kidding.jpg]
347L: Oh my god, doing some digging, turns out our Zhishang team had been interacting so long ago.
349: We, a young couple from different generations, are so uninhibited; we say whatever we want on the show, kkk
LZ: It's just a hypothetical show, not real.
369L: ?! OP is so loyal!
371L: So, does the original poster (OP) think he's happy now? [Curious]
LZ: I'm very happy now, and I hope he can be happy too. That's all~
373L: Still the same familiar style. To be honest, I'd like to see the OP's re-Zhishang part.
378L: Support! Watching too many couple fans nitpick over every little detail is really boring. The sharp comments from solo fans are much more interesting. I also support solo fans of Shang Jie commenting! [Watching the fun]
388L: The show is all about getting everyone to re-examine the past, and ideally, other fans of both sides who consider their past relationships genuine should also participate. Let's see if it's the most genuine relationship, or something else entirely, lol.
If it turns out to be just a hypothetical scenario, then that would be very interesting.
On the anonymous forum without a fixed horse, you can see all kinds of posts: sincere, defensive, and indifferent.
Of course, the most frequent comments came from unethical and irresponsible people.

Author's Note: Shangxi's reaction upon seeing the news: ? ? ? What? My sister-in-law is actually me?! [Sunglasses]
This period was also a particularly quiet time for Zhumeng.

Thank you so much, my lovely angels, for reading, commenting, and supporting me! [starry eyes]
