Chapter 55 The Restored Chat, Single-Line Game +...
When Yang Hyun-seok heard Han Sang-hee's words, he inexplicably had the thought that it was true.
After encountering setbacks many times, one actually becomes less prone to anger.
Although Han Shangxi speaks very rudely, she still cares about the company.
He can even consciously make amends for the other party.
"Next time something like this happens, you should let the company know in advance."
Yang Hyun-suk simply brushed the matter aside, without mentioning the role the company played in this scandal.
Then, he changed the subject and began to earnestly instruct Han Shangxi, seriously playing the role of "patriarch".
"I heard about what happened between you and Ji-yong a while ago. Sometimes, an artist's career should be the top priority..."
"I will, President."
Listening to President Yang's words, Han Shangxi would occasionally respond, as if he had returned to the time before his debut when he was submitting composition assignments to the other party.
The main point is that she listened to what the other person said, but how she acted on it was up to her.
If she had known there was nothing else going on, she would have come later. With that time to deal with the other person, she could have practiced a few more times.
As for the topic of GD, Han Sang-hee has long since become desensitized to it.
It is very common for public perception to be inconsistent with the facts.
At least recently, there have been far fewer strange pairings between her and G-Dragon.
Han Shangxi still can't forget the shock she felt when she first saw those CP analysis posts.
Even though she chose to participate in the players' game, she still found those posts very strange every time she saw them.
Especially when a senior with the surname Quan forwarded those posts to her.
How could people sometimes go to such lengths to avoid suspicion? Han Shangxi was puzzled and helpless.
Although the two haven't met in person during this period, they have naturally resumed their online communication.
However, this time the content of their conversation changed from being mostly work-related to being about 50/50, consisting of work and sharing their daily lives.
There are still some differences.
Both of them were tacitly playing this game.
There are no winners in a game, because it is just a game to add some fun to life. The emotions invested in the past can vanish in an instant during a period of burnout.
If someone completely succumbs to despair, they will only hasten the end of this game.
—My birthday present has been sent, please check your mail~ [Just a random snapshot unrelated to the present]
As Han Shangxi left President Yang's office, he swiped his phone screen and immediately saw this text message.
You don't need to guess to know which one it is.
—Thank you, senior.
Having just listened to the president's long speeches and feeling a bit tired, Han Shangxi simply replied with a few words.
Well, her reaction would be even more amusing if she didn't ask anything related to the photos.
Three, two...
Before Han Shangxi could finish counting down in his mind, he received a voice call from this person.
While listening to GD's complaints in a coquettish tone, Han Sang-hee quietly sped up and turned into the ETE private practice room before GD finished speaking.
Lee Min-jin and Sung Ji-hye both had schedules today, so Han Sang-hee had the practice room all to himself.
"Actually, it's enough as long as the gift from the senior arrives."
Leaning against the door of the practice room, Han Shangxi's words sounded very ruthless.
Han Sang-hee said she wasn't disappointed at all about the news that GD couldn't come back for her birthday, which also coincided with her solo debut.
It'll probably be this person who causes problems when they come back.
If I remember correctly, the other person had just finished their tour in Taipei and had a concert in Hong Kong less than a week later.
Flying back to South Korea at this point seems unnecessary.
However, Kwon Ji-yong on the other end of the phone did not think so.
"Didn't Shangxi think of me today?"
When I saw the news.
"Our Shangxi and that other person's CP is now more popular than Zhishang's!"
"I've got it."
When the editor-in-chief called me over today, he not only mentioned today's news, but also comforted me, who was heartbroken over love.
Sometimes I'm really curious about what my seniors were like before.
Han Shangxi confidently took President Yang's words as a justification.
Whether it's true or false doesn't matter; it's just a pretext.
Just like GD, he also used the news to achieve his goals.
Objectively speaking, the content of their conversation didn't resemble a tug-of-war between two players, but rather a banter between two childish kids.
Han Shangxi felt that such games were indeed a way to relax.
With limited energy, she chose a single-path game as her starting point.
Sanghee's first solo album, "Palpitate," is scheduled for release on May 12th at midnight, which is also Sanghee's 21st birthday.
"Palpitate" garnered significant attention even when it was only known by its name.
I think Sanghee has run out of ideas this time; I'm just criticizing her for using the same old romance theme without any new ideas...
At that time, Han Sang-hee, who was somewhat insecure about his album, calmly put aside his doubts after seeing this attention.
Han Shangxi can now read through the criticism without changing his expression.
Because she knows that there are always many more people who love her.
Palpitate, heart palpitation.
People can be moved by emotions, and these emotions include more than just liking.
Human emotions include joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, resentment, hatred, and delusion.
Apart from the title track "palpitate", most of the other songs on the album correspond to a certain emotion.
This includes "Lovely," a collaboration with a teacher, and "Hated," in which Park Jae-beom was featured.
On the day of the album's release, Han Sang-hee went live to celebrate the release of "Palpitate" with her fans.
Thanks to her MC experience, Sanghee single-handedly managed the live stream.
Album concept, source of inspiration, upcoming events...
Sanghee can make even the simplest fan-building techniques ingenious, and she even played a three-line poem game with her fans.
After the live stream ended and Sanghee took a short break, she headed to the rehearsal venue for her music show performance.
Han Sang-hee, who has been performing on SBS's "Inkigayo" since her debut, is already quite familiar with the music show promotion process.
Rehearsals, adjustments, confirmations, and the final live broadcast stage.
Every step requires our full effort.
Han Shangxi never thought he could achieve good results even if he relaxed.
Idols need to be responsible for every stage performance they give, as well as for the audience who come to watch them perform.
As the intro to "palpitate" began, Sanghee felt her heart return to a familiar peace.
Performing well on the next stage is the only thing she needs to accomplish right now.
palpitate, every heartbeat records growth.
Please join her in entering the world that belongs exclusively to palpitate.
—Three and a half minutes have passed so quickly, I declare "palpitate" to be my song of the year.
—As expected, Sanghee is a force to be reckoned with even when playing solo.
—Sanghee's voice is so captivating, it's like a breath of fresh air! Her singing ability is beyond her years—a unique enunciation that blends emotion into a pop-style song. I predict this song will become Sanghee's signature work as a solo artist.
"From now on, Sanghee will write our story together with the fans."
During her interview with the MC after her initial stage performance, Sanghee smiled and said this.
This time, most of the audience members were there for her when she stood on the stage.
Sanghee will always be moved by her fans and cherish the existence of those who love her.
The best way to treat sincerity is to reciprocate with the same sincerity.
It's often said that idols are commodities, but when fans fall in love with an idol, they don't just treat them as a cold commodity to be consumed in a cold way. They hope that the idol can see their love.
As Sanghee's popularity grows, every aspect of their lives is scrutinized and analyzed, leading to frequent unfounded rumors and speculations. However, for fans, regardless of how Sanghee is portrayed in the news by the public, they have their own perceptions and trust their own judgment more.
Falling in love with Sanghee is easy, and sticking with it is too.
Sanghee, who delivers a flawless performance on every stage, Sanghee, who always treats her fans with top-notch professionalism, Sanghee, who went from being underestimated and hated by the entire internet to turning the tide against all odds...
Sanghee, an idol group that excelled in the overall framework, also achieved perfect scores in the details.
Even if controversial news emerges, the controversies surrounding Sanghee will ultimately remain just that – controversies.
Controversies without concrete evidence are like occasional unpleasant moments in life. Their existence, in fact, makes fans love Sanghee even more.
Not to mention when they see subjective dissatisfaction with Sanghee appearing in the comments section of news related to her.
—Doesn't anyone think Sanghee's idol journey has been too smooth and boring? She's an idol from a big company who became famous right from the start, but I don't see any ambition for advancement in her.
—Our unambitious Sanghee so easily achieved chart-topping success, and so boringly turned the tide against the odds every time there was a massive wave of anti-fans~ Friend, you can't attribute Sanghee's entire life to being smooth sailing just because your favorite artist or you yourself lack talent or ability.
—Sanghee's personality is really boring. Last time, a friend recommended I listen to ".T." and I fell asleep halfway through. I really don't know how she became the MC of "Hwashin".
—Of course, it's because most people acknowledge her hosting abilities.
For fans, refuting misunderstandings and prejudices is never just about gentle and patient persuasion.
Because some people make judgments with malice and prejudice.
While some may dislike its flamboyance, it is also the best calling card for fans within their fandom.
No popular idol's fans are known for their detached and indifferent attitude.
Sometimes, such die-hard fans can elevate their idols to a perfect, god-like status, but they can also drag them down from that pedestal in an instant.
Idols need to cherish their fans, but they cannot be limited to the persona that fans hope for.
Imperfect idols are just like real human beings.
Sanghee's constant scandals are what make her imperfect.
Truth and falsehood intertwine, and all mythologizing comes to an end in the face of these imperfections.
She is Sanghee, not just a symbol.
After finishing their music show recording, Sanghee got into the car and went back to the company as usual.
This time, however, there were no two teammates on the bus.
The staff member accompanying her was also replaced by another one.
