Chapter 70 S-Series Finals Warm-up Song Forum | Things Must Be Corrected | ...
Just before leaving, Kwon Ji-yong stood on the balcony and smoked a cigarette, which Jiang Tinghan snatched away and extinguished.
He chuckled and said, "Didn't you say I'm G-Dragon and can do anything?"
Jiang Tinghan: "Using cigarettes to drown your sorrows is not allowed. Of course, it's fine to release stress by smoking, but that means you feel a lot of pressure being with me, right?"
Kwon Ji-yong couldn't help but laugh again, ruffling Jiang Tinghan's blond hair: "What kind of logic is that..."
"Honey, shouldn't you cover up your hair?"
Jiang Tinghan then remembered this: "Ah...do you have a hat?"
Kwon Ji-yong, wearing slippers, went to the dressing room.
Jiang Tinghan had just thrown her cigarette into the ashtray when her boyfriend pulled her away to the dressing room where she had spent the afternoon.
His walk-in closet wasn't just a single room; it spanned an entire floor. Shoes alone took up two rooms, and hats had their own separate room, after all, he was a serious hat enthusiast.
When he opened the cabinet, it was full of hats categorized by style. Kwon Ji-yong took them off one by one and showed them to Jiang Tinghan, his expression even more excited than when he was looking for clothes for himself.
He put a Lei Feng hat on Jiang Tinghan's head, making it look like two black, furry ears drooping down on either side.
"How about this? It looks really cool."
The Lei Feng hat made Jiang Tinghan's already small head look twice as big, as if his face was buried in black fur.
She leaned closer to look at herself in the mirror: "Isn't this a bit too much?"
Kwon Ji-yong replied confidently, "No, it suits you perfectly."
And it's so cute!
Jiang Tinghan was skeptical, but after glancing at Kwon Ji-yong a few times, she still believed his nonsense. The hat could cover the back of the neck, and the rest of the blond hair could be hidden in the jacket.
She wore a brown leather jacket and jeans today, along with boots, and this hat made her look cooler than Kwon Ji-yong.
Kwon Ji-yong also intentionally tried to emulate her style, wearing a denim jacket and loose brown trousers, along with a beanie and a floral scarf around his neck, showcasing some of GD's signature tattoo-concealing tricks.
After all that fuss, they finally got out the door, the young couple holding hands tightly. It started snowing when they got downstairs.
"It's winter again."
Kwon Ji-yong looked at the scattered snowflakes and sighed with emotion.
He still remembers last winter when they were a little awkward and somewhat ambiguous with each other, yet he didn't dare to get too close, which left a deep impression on him about winter.
"Our first anniversary is coming up soon."
"Hmm," Jiang Tinghan responded softly, "It's also the one-year anniversary of bringing Haha home."
“Yeah, we should buy it a cake.” Kwon Jiyong gently stroked Jiang Tinghan’s fingers with his fingertips, then gripped the hand, which was smaller than his own, even tighter. “Zoa’s birthday is in a few days.”
Jiang Tinghan: "Number 8?"
Kwon Ji-yong: "Number 11."
Jiang Tinghan thought about the work schedule for that day: "Then I might be late, we're going to record a song."
Kwon Ji-yong was already happy to hear that Jiang Tinghan was coming, but he restrained himself by pursing his lips and asking, "Is it another music show performance?"
Jiang Tinghan shook his head: "Ani, it's a new song. I don't know if Oppa has heard of it. There are only ten days left until the League of Legends World Championship finals in Seoul... Should we sing a warm-up song? We can perform it at the opening ceremony."
This year, League of Legends invited a lot of K-pop idols to perform. The theme song was sung by Newjeans, and a new boy group called Heart Steel invited EXO's Baekhyun. However, the collaboration between the two was not well received. When the theme song was first released, players were basically complaining that it was too soft. The official team probably anticipated how big the opening ceremony would be, so they temporarily found another popular girl group to fill the gap.
However, Jiang Tinghan thought that Lumera's collaboration song would probably be criticized as soon as it was released, but they were best at turning public opinion around with their strength.
In the past year, Lumera only took on one music festival in July, and basically had no other opportunities for live performances. This stage is huge, and opportunities don't come around often, so they cherish it very much.
Before Kwon Ji-yong could even ask, Jiang Tinghan had already laid out the schedule for the next month: "After the final opening ceremony is MAMA, then MMA, SBS Year-End Music Festival, Golden Disc Awards..."
"It sounds tiring, but don't actually get so tired that you only weigh 88 pounds. Otherwise, I'll really bombard your company with ten phone calls a day." Kwon Ji-yong turned to look into Jiang Tinghan's eyes and said in a tone of great concern.
Jiang Tinghan: "Does making ten phone calls a day count as bombardment?"
Kwon Ji-yong tapped Jiang Tinghan's forehead through his fluffy Lei Feng hat: "Is that the point?"
Did they provide this song, or did you write it?
Jiang Tinghan immediately looked worried: "I wrote... I thought that after the comeback I would only need to promote the song."
As a result, work piled up after the 1st. Next week I have to juggle music promotions, recording, and recording "Knowing Bros." The week after next, there's the opening ceremony of the finals and MAMA. As the end of the year approaches, I'll be even busier.
Furthermore, Lumera should officially announce their Asian tour next week, tentatively scheduled for December 30th-31st. Just as fans have guessed, Jiang Tinghan's solo songs will be interspersed throughout the tour, but there won't be many, just "Always You," "Always Me," "Hate," and "Prayer," because there will also be new songs from the subunits of Yoon Ji-chae & Si Kai, Putuo Qian & Kim Seo-hee, Bae Soo-min & Wolchi Anri & Kong Yeon-seo.
This is WK1's first test to see how the other members fared after leaving Coldy. After all, Coldy is only one person and can't be split in two. If it works well, then they will have more options.
Kwon Ji-yong didn't want to see Jiang Tinghan looking dejected: "How's the progress? If you have a rough framework, you can hand it over to me for production."
Jiang Tinghan looked up in surprise: "Oppa, didn't you just say you wanted to rest?"
Kwon Ji-yong rested his head on Jiang Tinghan's shoulder, and naturally changed from holding hands to putting his arm around her shoulder, saying in a light tone: "Writing songs for your girlfriend is a kind of relaxation."
Jiang Tinghan thought for a moment: "But this is a huge loss, since you can't fill in your name, and we'll lose out on a huge production fee."
Kwon Ji-yong: "That's true..."
He didn't really care about the money, but his money-grubbing girlfriend clearly did.
Jiang Tinghan: "Besides, I haven't even started writing yet. Let's talk about it when I get back tonight. I need to listen to what others have said before to find some inspiration."
Her tone was genuinely troubled: "I've never written a purely energetic song before, I don't know if it will work..."
Although the song is credited to Lumera, it's a commercial song, not one she could freely create herself, so she was a little unsure. "Waves" and "Wildfire" are also very energetic, but they are different kinds of songs with a more delicate kind of energy.
The more Kwon Ji-yong listened, the more it seemed like a hint. The words "purely energetic song" clearly had G-Dragon's name on them. Although his previous songs tended to be more energetic and unrestrained, making them sound more grand was a piece of cake for him.
He raised the hand that was around Jiang Tinghan's shoulder and pinched her cheek through her mask: "You can write songs at my house, why do you have to go back?"
Ever since he learned that Jiang Tinghan had gone public with his relationship with the management of WK1, he has become increasingly bold, even trying to seduce their star artist into staying out all night.
"It's okay if there's no framework. I have a lot of these kinds of abandoned songs, all written a few years ago. You can take a look and pick one."
That sounded very tempting, and Jiang Tinghan muttered, "Having a lot of inventory is really good..."
Unlike Kwon Ji-yong, she doesn't write seven songs and then choose one. She basically perfects a song as soon as she thinks of it. She's too meticulous and can't keep up with WK1's comeback speed. No wonder Kwon Ji-yong and Bigbang's comeback cycles were so long in the past. But because she has a lot of experience with deadlines, the quality can still be maintained at a stable level.
Kwon Ji-yong glanced around. They had parked their car near Hongdae and were out for a stroll. There were still quite a few people around at this time, with couples holding hands or families and friends walking together. The shops on the street still retained some traces of Halloween celebrations.
There's a strong sense of community, and the atmosphere seems harmonious and joyful. Going out for a walk definitely lifts your spirits.
His tone rose slightly, but his voice remained lower: "It's more profitable for me to pick from my music library than to waste my sleep listening to the cold."
A master of sweet talk, he can effortlessly utter flirtatious words.
Now that things have come to this point, it would be unreasonable for Jiang Tinghan not to take the shortcut right in front of her: "Alright, let's try to finish this song today."
She blinked her eyes twice and pursed her lips. Generally speaking, she was used to hearing Kwon Ji-yong say sweet words, but that was indoors. She would still feel a little shy outdoors.
Snowflakes fell on the two people's black hats, like stars in the night sky, and then slowly melted and disappeared. The surroundings were noisy, but it also seemed to gradually become quiet and slow down.
When Jiang Tinghan said this, it seemed she hadn't considered that Quan Zhilong would be attending a police inspection the next day. This actually made Quan Zhilong feel more relaxed, and perhaps he didn't need to care so much about it.
After proving his innocence, he can still stand on the stage. Even if he doesn't want to be on stage anymore, he can go behind the scenes and become Miss Coldy's exclusive producer.
They walked around the mall for a while, bought a serving of roasted pork ribs and some hot snacks, and went back to the recording studio to eat their late-night snack.
Jiang Tinghan opened Kwon Ji-yong's hard drive, which was filled with hundreds of songs. Each song was named with a date, genre, and keywords, and they were quite good at playing puns. For example, one file was named "20130708-Hippop-SpinningYarn". "Spinning Yarn" literally means "spinning yarn" and slang for "making up a story". However, in hip-hop music, "Spinning" also often refers to a DJ "spinning records", which means "using records to weave a story".
For example, 20151225-Synthwave-Silent Knight was named after the classic Christmas song "Silent Night" because it was Christmas Day.
It's also called "Sea Minor" because it uses "C Minor" as its base key; all of these are homophones.
When Kwon Ji-yong is bored, he thinks about these puns and double meanings and he's no longer bored.
At the very top is a song called "Home Sweet Home," which was written a long time ago. Jiang Tinghan thought of the lyrics to "Snow Nails" and realized that Kwon Ji-yong really liked this slang.
However, this naming method also made it convenient for Jiang Tinghan to search, without having to listen to each song one by one. Jiang Tinghan focused on styles that were more powerful and dynamic, such as "Electropop," "Power Pop," and "EDM."
After finding two or three suitable songs, she began to flesh out the songs, trying to write lyrics, and then making further selections.
During that time, he even called his agent to report that he hadn't come home that night, giving the impression that he was having an affair and wanted to tell others.
But there's nothing that can be done about it; leaving the team requires reporting, which is a new WK1 rule, and currently only Jiang Tinghan enjoys this "honor."
Hearing her agent's knowing yet unyielding tone, Jiang Tinghan felt helpless. It wasn't that staying out all night meant she was going to have sex with her boyfriend, was it?
She figured that even if she mentioned writing songs, her manager would probably get the wrong idea, so she gave up and didn't bother explaining. But Kwon Ji-yong took the phone from her hand and calmly and gently explained to his manager on the other end of the line, "Tinghan is working overtime here today. I thought that if she wanted to produce a song, I could help her, and it would be more efficient than if she did it alone, so I let her stay."
His voice has a convincing power. His manager is actually not very daring to talk to Kwon Ji-yong directly, even through the phone line, he can feel his powerful aura.
She spoke faster than usual: "Okay, GDxi, please take care of our Coldy."
After hanging up the phone, I felt something was off.
To be able to write a song the night before appearing for a police investigation—that takes real mental fortitude!
Although he was supposed to be helping, Kwon Ji-yong didn't talk much. He was worried that talking might disturb his girlfriend's thoughts, so he usually just rested his face on his hand and tilted his head to look at Jiang Tinghan quietly.
It's hard not to notice when someone's staring at you, especially someone as sensitive to gazes as Jiang Tinghan. She looked down at the theme songs from the previous years that were being used as samples, noticing the words "Legend" and "Phoenix" in the song titles, and then looked up to meet Kwon Ji-yong's eyes.
A clear theme slowly emerged in her mind—"rebirth from the ashes".
The subsequent rearrangement and lyric writing went very smoothly; I felt like I could come up with the right instruments and lyrics for the melody without much thought.
She chose a Power Pop song written by Kwon Ji-yong, which blends the grand epic style of Arena Rock. The song is built on a stable and powerful 4/4 time signature, sounding like war drums. The design uses harmonies and guitar sounds to create an overwhelming feeling and an operatic sense of layering.
"These scars are worn not for the show."
(The numerous scars are not for showing off)
“Each one a verse the world should know.”
(Every scar is a footnote to a legend)
“The flames that once refined the soul.
(The raging flames that temper the soul)
"Now write their name upon the scroll."
(To inscribe one's name on an eternal scroll)
"Let tides arise, let storms descend."
(Let the tides surge and the storm descend)
"True fire knows the truest gold."
(Only real fire reveals true gold)
"Let the Fire meet the Flood!"
(Let the fire collide with the torrent!)
"A baptism of blood!"
(Let this blood serve as a baptism!)
"No retreat, no more lies."
(No way back, no more delusion)
"Where fallen kings and new gods rise!"
(The land where the fallen king and the new god rise!)
When Jiang Tinghan finished writing this song, he could already imagine how cool it would be if this song were paired with the scene of Kwon Ji-yong walking to the police station tomorrow. No, it should be more suitable for the song when he walks out of the police station in a generous, clean and neat manner.
She revised "The Fire and the Flood" many times, and stayed up all night. She didn't know when she could hear the sound of long, even breathing.
Turning my head, I saw that Kwon Ji-yong had already fallen asleep on the table. Well, he didn't sleep from afternoon to night like Jiang Tinghan.
Jiang Tinghan stretched and moved her sore shoulders, then found a blanket and gently covered Quan Zhilong with it.
Even when he's asleep, his eyes are just a curved line when he's closed, as if he's always smiling. His eye bags are still so prominent; isn't it trendy to draw eye bags to make eyes look bigger these days? His pupil color is also quite light; they're truly enviable eyes.
When her cheeks are pressed against the table, they bulge out a little, making her look exactly like Zoa. They must be related by blood.
Jiang Tinghan went to feed the cats and dogs again, and took Haha out. This was the first time she had taken Haha for a walk, but she was an experienced dog owner and was very skilled at it.
Their dog, Tu Song Wangcai, is also quite large. Raising such a big dog requires preventing it from lunging. However, Haha is just a bit silly and won't target strangers. It's only a bully at home. You can tell from the fact that some furniture is always replaced every time Jiang Tinghan comes to Quan Zhilong's house. Now, Haha's value has skyrocketed to an incalculable figure.
Self-disciplined people even jog while walking their dogs, and feel refreshed after taking a shower and changing clothes.
As the sun rose higher, the pig was still sleeping. Before they knew it, it was past noon. Jiang Tinghan also rested her head for a while before being woken up by the alarm clock. She had only turned the alarm clock to the lowest volume, but Quan Zhilong still frowned and slowly opened his eyes.
His voice was hoarse from sleep: "What time is it?"
Jiang Tinghan tilted her head to look at him: "Twelve o'clock, that's about right."
Kwon Ji-yong rubbed his temples: "My team should be here soon. You still have work to do today, right? I'll have the driver take you home first."
Jiang Tinghan picked up a USB drive: "I've finished my work for today. It's okay. I'll wait for you to come back here."
Kwon Ji-yong scratched his flattened hair, preparing to go to the bathroom to wash up, when he heard Jiang Tinghan's words, a warm feeling welled up in his heart: "Okay."
He lowered his head and gently kissed Jiang Tinghan's forehead: "It's okay, I'll be back soon."
Jiang Tinghan had met all of Kwon Ji-yong's team members, but apart from the bodyguards and drivers, she had never seen them interact intimately. So when the girls who came to do Kwon Ji-yong's styling saw Jiang Tinghan at Kwon Ji-yong's house, they were all very surprised.
However, I was only surprised for a moment before I realized it was only natural, as these two had indeed been having various connections, both overt and covert, recently.
More than anything, it's a feeling of relief that our beloved G-Dragon has finally found his home.
He wore a black suit jacket with a blue shirt, the top button of which was loosely undone, and a pair of old-money brown leather shoes. His face was mostly bare, except he had shaved and was wearing black-rimmed glasses.
Stylist Tae-hyun thought G-Dragon had forgotten about the sticker on his glasses and reminded him, "G-Dragon, there's a sticker on your glasses..."
Kwon Ji-yong glanced at the Hello Kitty stickers above, and even specifically looked for the one with a red hash symbol in the upper right corner, which looked like an angry Hello Kitty.
A silent smile played on his lips: "It's alright, let's leave it at that."
Jiang Tinghan held Zoa and watched him leave. The others also left, leaving her alone in the huge house with a few cats and dogs.
The door slammed shut with a click. She checked her social media and, sure enough, media outlets were already staking out the Incheon Police Department and broadcasting live.
There were more than a dozen media outlets broadcasting live, not to mention countless others taking photos, like a swarm of flies swarming around rotting flesh.
On his way to the police station, Kwon Ji-yong posted "Things will be rectified" on Instagram, which undoubtedly gave his fans a boost of confidence.
His answers to media interviews were very appropriate. After a four-hour investigation at the police station, he underwent a simple test, and a more detailed test is being urgently requested. The former result is currently negative, while the latter result is still pending.
He patiently and appropriately answered the media's idiotic questions such as "If the police conduct further investigations, will you continue to respond?" He responded to the questions that needed to be answered and said countless times that he did not use drugs.
Finally, he clasped his hands together, took off his glasses, bowed to everyone, got into his BMW, and drove away.
That day, three videos of Kwon Ji-yong outside police stations garnered millions of views. Rather than the truth, the public seemed more interested in his outfit, his gestures, and his expressions. His black-rimmed glasses, worth 7,000 RMB, sold out within a day. Screenshots of his somewhat disdainful, one-sided smirk spread rapidly across the internet, and his steps down the stairs were dubbed the "Talking Tom walk." The laughter brought a glimmer of light to the gloom and darkness of the period.
The test result was negative. GD was completely innocent in this disaster. If fans have to see GD this way, they'd rather he stay out of the public eye for a few more years. As long as he's happy, that's enough. Why hurt him?
[kk□□si is really brainless. A simple test can only detect if someone hasn't used marijuana recently, it doesn't prove they haven't used it before.]
He only went back to the army for military training in September. Do you think there's no need for checks when entering the army...? Our country's army has always been the most rigorous place, right?
It's not like he's enlisting in the army, it's just military training. He might have slipped through the net once.
[Don't argue with people who don't believe. Their brains are full of shit. If you ask them why they think G-Dragon is on drugs, they'll say he looks like he is. Even if you show them evidence, they'll still say he looks like he is. What artist isn't a liar? It's impossible to communicate with them, you know? Because their brains are only the size of a paramecium, I think they look like they're about to die of an orphan tomorrow. I hope my words come true.]
[Good point! Good point! Would a guilty person apply for a thorough investigation after a simple test? What's the difference between that and walking into a trap? If the thorough test result is also negative, can't you all kneel down and kowtow to G-Dragon?]
[kkk Of course not, these people will just disappear, forgetting with a single click that they ever attacked GD, and instead post, "I believe our K-pop king is innocent!"]
GDxi has become much more reserved than when he was younger. His temperament is more peaceful now, but he still looks quite arrogant when he smiles. It seems he has just hidden his former sharpness, not disappeared it.
GDxi is kind of cute now, his round face looks like a giant version of Doraemon.
[It looks more like a round-faced Hello Kitty, doesn't it? GDxi is indeed unique; if I'm not mistaken, the temples of his glasses are adorned with Hello Kitty.]
[This is a kind of fashion I don't understand. The whole outfit looks very formal, but he unbuttoned it, wore bright socks, and even put on Hello Kitty stickers. Suddenly, I feel that GD is kind of cute. I always thought he was the kind of cool guy with a domineering personality.]
He's actually very humble and adorable in private; it's just that his work is too flamboyant and has misled many people. Please stop having stereotypes about him TT TT
I think some people are quite funny. They're verbally criticizing him, but their actions betray their true feelings and they're still following GD's trend. These glasses aren't cheap, and they sold out in no time. I wonder if, besides fans, there were also people who are absolutely certain that "GD is on drugs" among those who bought them.
[I hope people who bought glasses also put Hello Kitty stickers on their glasses like GD does. I saw the high-resolution photos released by the media; Hello Kitty has red tic-tac-toe marks on its head that represent anger, and it looks all puffed up. That's probably a true reflection of GD's inner self!]
Of course! Who wouldn't be angry if they were falsely accused and attacked for no reason? If I were interviewed like that by a reporter, I would have already lost my temper. But GDxi was able to handle and deal with it very calmly. He truly deserves to be called a superstar.
[Won't doing this risk getting a legal warning from Sanrio?]
[kkk This isn't profitable, so it's basically free advertising, although Kitty doesn't need GDxi to advertise for her.]
[So many people liked the post about things being corrected, sob sob sob, finally I feel like our G-Dragon isn't fighting alone, there are still people on our side]
Those who support GDxi have swarmed out like bees after a hive has been disturbed; hopefully, from today onwards, only honey will flow, not bitterness.
Where are my teammates? Let's call out to my best friend of twenty years, a friendship beyond question.
[Warning: No social media use! Early to bed! I've already expressed my support privately! Best childhood friend warning!]
To be fair, given all the troubles Bigbang has gone through, it's the right thing for the other members to do is remain silent. Otherwise, it will only increase public dislike of Bigbang.
[People are already speaking out so quickly. Wasn't the goodwill towards Bigbang ruined by those two people who actually committed the crime? GD was a victim, right? GD was also a victim in this matter, but his two teammates chose to protect themselves. They didn't choose to support GD. Looking back over the years, you can be surprised to find that GD has been a victim many times.]
[Oh my god! Coldy also liked "Sure Things Must Be Corrected," he's not even as good as that junior he's only known for two months]
[Oh my god, has Coldy gone mad?! Not only did he like it, but he also left a comment with a fist emoji, and even posted a picture of a daisy with a missing petal tagged with xxxibgdrgn. He's completely out of control!]
What is going on here?
[Does Coldy have an aging fetish?]
[Better than a fetish for the ugly]
GDxi is still acceptable now, he looks quite cute, but please don't let him grow any wider. I don't want our Coldy unnie to be labeled as a pig fetishist, that's very hurtful.
【No way... GDxi, look at Coldy's face! If he doesn't work hard, how can he possibly be worthy of being called a god-like beauty?】
GD rushed back and immediately started working out and running.
Coldy's condition has flared up—a condition stemming from his love for GDxi (heart emoji) (heart emoji)
[Coldy Fan Desensitization Training +1]
I thought it would just be a simple like, but I didn't expect you to do so much at once. Coldy, you really love this!
Now that the test results are in, can we finally openly express our support?
What should I do if my daughter is determined to get married?
We can only wish this beautiful marriage well.
[I'm speechless. This guy seems to have been holding back for a long time, and then he just released it all at once. But did he get the company's approval? Doesn't he even think about Lumera? You're the leader, how can you be so foolish?]
[Our Lumera is great, please don't mention them. Don't harm these eight little girls. Support Coldy's freedom to like and post.]
[Coldy supports the respected senior Coldy. Coldy is truly beautiful inside and out.]
[GD replied, he gave a star! You're still such a big fan of Lumera, it's almost been a year already!]
[He hasn't forgotten this star yet. Just to correct you, this should be a die-hard Coldy fan. Coldy fans, your ally has arrived! Don't be afraid of GD anymore, because GD himself is here!]
[The value of Coldy's only real brother-in-law is still rising! GC fans are going to be obsessed with him again!]
[I'm so overwhelmed by their lovey-dovey relationship! They send me sweet moments every month, and their climaxes are so much better than other couples I ship. Their parents don't just give birth to me and then neglect me.]
[Coldy is a well-known streaming queen; getting a million likes on an Instagram post is just routine for her. Posting from her own account really shows she's using her influence to amplify the message that "GD is innocent."]
I repent for having insulted Coldy in the past. It's true what they say, true friendship is revealed in times of trouble, and from now on, I have only good feelings towards her.
[Is this little daisy a fan-initiated campaign to protect GD? Oh my god, Coldy even noticed this! Actually, Coldy is a GD fan too, otherwise how would he know so much about fandom activities?]
[Turns out they're fans of each other, so sweet!]
This is so sweet!!! GDxi replied to the stars, and Coldyxi launched the Daisy Protection Campaign. They both know each other so well!
Fans tried to express their thoughts in a lighthearted tone, but they were still worried, mainly about the impact on their careers.
But they soon had nothing to worry about. On November 13th, the official League of Legends website released the pre-finals single "The Fire and the Flood," sung by the popular girl group Lumera, and announced the list of performers for the opening ceremony of the finals, which included Lumera.
Many players clicked on this song with the thought, "Another girl group? Are you kidding me?", but after listening, their thoughts all changed to, "Wow, they sing so well?!"
The singers in this song have incredibly smooth emotional transitions. One second they're full of passion and excitement, and the next they're heavy with sorrow. The melody rises and falls dramatically, like surging waves. Combined with the upbeat chorus, it instantly releases all the emotions. Playing this song while playing games feels like having a battle anthem buff.
[Damn, this is the real theme song for the S-series! I support this song replacing "Ascending to Godhood." "Ascending to Godhood" is so weak and lacks any energy. The competition should be high-energy!]
Actually, you could just get this group to sing "Ascending to Godhood"; the problem isn't the song, it's the people.
I'm speechless. Is it really interesting for you Lumera fans to make such a fuss? Be careful you don't flop completely.
[Haha, those are just comments from passersby, we can't control that. It just shows that passersby have sharp eyes and ears. And compared to groups like Whale, which rely on their record companies to provide songs, our self-produced group is probably more likely to fade into obscurity.]
[Doesn't this group include Jang Won-young? They should be generating a lot of buzz, right?]
[Is this a crosstalk? Jang Won-young is an IVE.]
[Since they're all in English, how can I tell which tours are which?]
[Take my Yuan Di away! Zhang Yuanying is innocent, don't involve her in the firework!]
[Let's take away our KouDi, who once again topped the Melon daily chart and Spotify daily chart with his new song, and ranked first in real-time download growth on Apple Music. The five female leads just did their job of writing a song for League of Legends.]
[If you ask me, they should have contacted Lumera from the beginning; maybe they wouldn't be so full of complaints now.]
[Is Lumera worthy? She's not even worthy to carry my shoes, thank you.]
Today I finally understand what it means to lie through your teeth. Dare to compare your achievements with Lu Han's? Sales, digital music charts, number one rankings—Lu Han is completely outclassed. The current girl group is clearly Lu Han's.
[Ahhh, thank you so much, official account! It's only been ten days and we already have a new song to listen to, so awesome!]
[Hilarious! They've inflated the numbers so much they believe it themselves. Your whole prosperity is a facade...]
[Back in January, people were saying Lu Han's success was fake, then his album sold five million copies, then his solo album sold three million copies, and now his first full-length album has also sold three million copies. It's really dark humor for Hybe's group to accuse others of inflating their numbers. If the person with the most inflated numbers in the world were to be chosen today, the first person to be guillotined would be the pigs in FSH.]
[Isn't it even more ridiculous that you're just presenting these figures? These sales numbers are clearly abnormal. Your Lu Han must have gone broke trying to fill the gap left by buying sales figures.]
[Where's the anomaly? If we're anomaly, then SVT, which has higher sales than us, must be even more anomaly. Are you saying that all the world's charts are helping Lumera fabricate data? Stop with your jealousy.]
[Suddenly I saw this from a fan site. Why bring up SVT? These guys have been around for so many years, their sales figures are well-deserved. In which poll haven't we been number one?]
[Hahaha, it's definitely a free-for-all between different groups!]
[I don't understand what the comments section is saying. Anyway, "Ascending to Godhood" is awful. This song is barely passable, but it's nowhere near as good as the previous theme song.]
I really think "Ascending to Godhood" is pretty good. I can feel the hardship of having to overcome a huge mountain ahead. It just doesn't have the atmosphere of a grand finale. This new song has the right feel to it when it's going to be exciting. I hope the live performance won't be a letdown.
[I did a quick search and it's quite interesting. There are Chinese people in this group, and their singing is quite fitting for the occasion. If I remember correctly, this is the first time Chinese people have sung a song related to the World Championship?]
I think so, it used to be either Koreans or foreigners.
[What should we do if we feel even more embarrassed? We're the fourth seed playing against the first seed, winning just one game would be a victory, and yet they still had Chinese people singing in Seoul, it's an absolute disgrace.]
[It's okay. Looking at it from another angle, it means one more Chinese player has reached the finals, bringing us one step closer to an all-Chinese team!]
Still winning?! The ultimate psychological victory tactic of the idiot is here!
Faker is already aiming for his fourth championship, while our loser is still dreaming of an all-Chinese team – that's over.
The comments section was filled with arguments and became quite chaotic at times, but this didn't prevent them from reaching a consensus—"Production! Awesome! Performance! Awesome!"
This song successfully boosted Lumera's international profile, with some even exclaiming, "Coldy is actually Lumera's!" leaving fans both amused and exasperated.
Coldy and Lumera are both incredibly popular.
Meanwhile, Jiang Tinghan received even more song requests, all asking Coldy to produce the songs for them. However, Jiang Tinghan had no intention of writing any more songs for the time being; she was already tired of writing and wanted to take a break.
Besides Lumera fans and esports fans, there is another group of netizens cheering for this song, but their focus is a little different.
[It seems like Coldy wrote this new song with G-Dragon in mind. Who agrees and who disagrees?]
[Poster]
The sense of déjà vu is really strong, and coupled with GD's recent experiences, the match with this song has reached a legendary level.
Let's discuss this and see if it's just my imagination, starting with the first paragraph.
"These scars are worn not for the show."
(The numerous scars are not for showing off)
“Each one a verse the world should know.”
(Every scar is a footnote to a legend)
“The flames that once refined the soul.
(The raging flames that temper the soul)
"Now write their name upon the scroll."
(To inscribe one's name on an eternal scroll)
That's right, GD's name is already etched in the words. Who is the one who is scarred and battered recently? And who is hailed as a legend?
Furthermore, the imagery of "fire" is quite ambiguous. I feel like I've been seeing "fire" a lot lately. Tell me loudly, what's the name of the title track from Lumera's latest album, "Byebye"?
