Chapter 122 Hong Kong Concert (40,000 words) Forum 75% | August...
How would you evaluate a blogger's sharp critique of Ni Kou's new song, claiming it shows a lack of originality and a tendency to only rehash old material?
[Poster]
It feels like the next person has gone mad... See how authoritative IPGD is? I dare say that Koko's rendition of "I Like You" did not ruin the classic at all. Even though the public has a deep memory of the original version, he still sang it with his own unique flavor!
When it was first announced that it would be an adaptation, I guessed it would definitely be an adaptation of a classic hit song. For details, please refer to her husband's "Red Glow" and "Can't Help Falling in Love". But I didn't expect it to be a Cantonese hit song.
She's really amazing. She's not from the GD region, but she sings Cantonese very fluently. To be honest, I've been speaking Mandarin a lot these past few years, and I might not even be able to sing this song as well as she does. If the original version focuses on the bitterness and sorrow, as if it contains the passionate cry of a young man, her version allows you to feel a touch of warmth and redemption even in the midst of heavy sadness.
The old song was given a fresh arrangement, with a completely new melody added that felt surprisingly natural. When I first heard that part while singing along, I was totally stunned. It was so familiar that the first time it felt a bit strange, but the second time I thought, "Holy crap, they can do this?!" The beginning is all about heartbreak, missed opportunities, and memories, while the end is about reunion!
On that cold, rainy night, they met again on the street! It was as if the warm light emanating from the small shop on the street dispelled the chill from them, and the yellowing autumn leaves regained their verdant vitality. Listening to it made me feel alive again, and I felt that the world was beautiful. At the same time, the last melody still maintained a deep and affectionate tone.
If you look closely at the lyrics at the end, I personally feel that they are quite authentic. Cantonese song lyrics are quite polarized; they are either obscure and difficult to read, or they are simple and straightforward. What Sister Kou wrote is clearly the latter, but that doesn't mean that simple and straightforward lyrics are bad.
"Your childlike nature has never been confiscated."
"I can recognize you no matter what new clothes you wear."
"You can finally be absent from the world's book of right and wrong."
"Your goodness has finally been recognized by the world."
"Listen to me, or you don't have to."
These lyrics are easy to understand. It's a relief that your childlike spirit is still there. No matter what labels, good or bad, are attached to you, people can still recognize your true nature. In the past, the world was very harsh on you, judging even the smallest things as right or wrong. For example, your consistent little actions over ten years became evidence that you had used contraband. But now that you have returned in a phoenix-like state, those people are finally willing to place you on a pedestal, and you are surrounded by much more love than before.
I used to speak so harshly, and you only needed to listen to my sweet words. But now the darkness has dissipated, and there's no need for me to continue. You don't have to listen to only me, because there are many other people constantly confessing their love to you.
Solo fans, don't rush to refute this. [Image] These are lyrics that Ni Kou composed on the spot during a live stream in November 2023. Doesn't it look very similar to the lyrics of the new song? Words like "childish" and "listen to me/tell" match up, right? You might not be able to tell the difference now, but it's okay. I've transcribed the sheet music for that melody and the new melody, [Image] and they are exactly the same.
[Bilibili link - "Look what I found! Sister Kou has buried another Easter egg for us!"] Here is a comparison of two melodies that I played on the guitar, and they match. The new version has a more complex arrangement, but since I am a music major, I felt that this melody was familiar. It turns out that it has actually appeared before.
Back then, there was a lot of demand for Xiaohan to release a Chinese single, wasn't there? Although Xiaohan added more Chinese elements to the group's songs the following year, there was still no Chinese single. Many fans were waiting for it. Unexpectedly, this melody will appear in this form in the end. It's really a surprise and very clever!
Why aren't Cantonese songs considered a type of Chinese single?!
The last two lines of the divine chanting ended... Ahhh, it made my heart tremble and tremble, I was both crying and laughing, I just want to say that it was really not easy to get through all of this!
All I can say is that Sister Han is great; no further explanation is needed.
【1L】
So this GD is from Guangdong? I didn't understand it for a long time. I was wondering when Lao Long became an IP address. The poster is also from Qiaosi Jie.
【2L】
Even the die-hard fans couldn't refute it; the other person had already eagerly claimed responsibility. They couldn't even bring themselves to criticize the couple. They were just playing the victim, using the "23 years" as a trump card—who could speak ill of Lao Long? Their situation was incredibly miserable.
【3L】
But I'm genuinely quite touched... I was by your side two years ago when you were going through a low point, and I'm still here for you now. This callback is so sweet, and back then, fans wanted you to turn that melody into a full song. Isn't this fulfilling your fans' expectations and responding to their call? But it's just another day of hell for solo fans.
【4L】
But this year, Han Jie prepared a full hour-long birthday video that was practically a group variety show! While watching Han Jie's attempts to be abstract and amuse the audience in the video, her solo fans were also enjoying her new song, already laughing heartily, and had no time to pay attention to her brother-in-law, who was trying to show off his presence again.
【5L】
To respond to the title, I watched that video. It's purely for clicks. The core argument is that Kou must have run out of ideas to rely on classic old songs for traffic instead of writing her own original songs. After listening to the whole song, all she can say is, "What the hell is the difference between this and the original?" and "The last part is just garbage." Even her criticisms are so vulgar and low-class. She's practically a hopeless illiterate.
The results speak for themselves. A song entirely in Cantonese debuted at number six on Melon within the first hour, garnering over 8000 likes. It truly shocked my entire family. Could only your sister possibly achieve that? Just like with GD before, I can only say, Korean artists, don't be too fond of our Longhan. Everyone knows how xenophobic they are; without mixing in Korean, the results wouldn't be high! And it's already 1 AM Korean time, when many people are asleep! Thinking about some groups that meticulously prepared their title tracks for so long only to have them not featured… they can't even compare to Coldy!
"I Like You" is currently number one on the QQ Music trending chart. I bet it sold over 100,000 copies in just five minutes! That's amazing! I feel like I'm trembling with excitement. That woman has really "broke through"!
【6L】
While it's true that those who venture into mainland China should still participate in some variety shows and events, the mainland really spends money like crazy. I've seen things like tens of millions in revenue in just a few minutes or an hour—I'm practically oblivious to money! But I feel like participating in mainland variety shows is a bit too down-to-earth. I can't think of a single show that wouldn't lower its prestige. However, I do support them coming to the mainland to participate in more activities and sing more Chinese songs.
【7L】
Everyone, just report that blogger who's profiting from negative traffic; don't give him a second glance. Anyway, this single is getting more positive reviews, and today my sister and Paul (Wong Ka Kui, the guitarist for Beyond) followed each other on Weibo and Instagram! Why is this senior so low-key? His Instagram followers are so few; I thought it was fake when I saw my sister follow someone new.
【8L】
Oh my god! How can this not be considered recognition from the original singer?! (Screams) (Screams) Our Xiao Kou is so accomplished! I'm so excited! My sister can play guitar too, I wonder if I'll have a chance to learn from the guitar master.
【9L】
I was originally planning to talk about "Singer" when I returned to China, but I think I'll skip it this year... In the end, they all have to bring in those high-profile, talented international guests as supporting acts. Although my sister isn't a foreigner, I don't think she'll get away with it. I don't want her to be implicated by someone demanding a song change at the last minute. I think it's better to keep a distance from domestic celebrities.
【10L】
Going back to China to develop your career is still too much to ask (laughs). The first tour starts next month, kids! I'm going to be swamped with work again! I don't do many Korean variety shows, maybe one or two at most during each comeback. Let's postpone the domestic variety shows for now. Although I've fantasized about appearing on domestic variety shows and the host introducing me as a global sensation with countless fans and album sales... making fans feel incredibly proud. I'm speechless at myself for having to dream about this kind of pretentious fantasy every time I chase after a green card!
【11L】
What you said makes me want to watch it too. Didn't our junior brother go on Hi6? I watched that episode. Although he didn't have many shots, he was praised for being handsome right from the start. If my sister were back in China, I feel like she would look stunning on camera. She has such a great, cinematic face (cupping her face). In today's birthday video, Xiao Kou looked gorgeous with just light makeup!
Finally, the scene of her smiling like a flower surrounded by her teammates was truly stunning [screenshot], she is absolutely my dream goddess! But I don't want our current international superstar to be on the same stage as all those not-so-famous domestic celebrities, I just want her to shine on her own.
【12L】
It's actually not so bad. Old Bangs even came to Hunan TV before. Is it because TFBOYS were in the audience that they've become TFbangs now? Don't even mention Hi6, I really want to laugh...
Have you ever come across those idiotic posts on XHS (a Chinese social networking site) where people keep asking who Lao Long (a famous Chinese singer) is equivalent to in the entertainment industry? Most people say there's no one or Jay Chou. But one day I suddenly saw He Jiong (another famous Chinese singer) and I burst out laughing. That's not right! Although Lao Long is a senior and deserves to be called virtuous and talented, he's still a generation below He Jiong... Getting entangled with fans of K-pop will slowly lead to misfortune (I don't mean getting entangled with K-pop fans is lucky).
【13L】
Damn, I was attacked by the fish floss in front of me, but that's the truth. I only realized how badly I ate before after I started following Sister Han!
And I must have been struck by lightning in my past life to keep seeing these idiotic posts every day in this life. Don't they understand such a simple principle as "there's no comparable person"? My company's international influence isn't fake. Don't let me see posts like "Coldy is equivalent to some nobody" anymore! Just label them all as trying to ride the coattails of this trend.
Since things have come to this, sis, show me "Surprise 6" first! I keep seeing clips of this show featuring the big stick and Jackie Chan's songs, and I'm looking forward to you going up there, answering instantly, and then running to the front to dance to Jackie Chan's music.
【14L】
I bet you'd like to see "Fifteen Nights on a Business Trip" and "Lume Time"—these kinds of sweet moments are a piece of cake for us GC fans, there's plenty to go around! Ladies, have you ever thought about what would happen if C-jie appeared on a variety show and happened to run into Lao Long's copycat? Wouldn't that be incredibly awkward?
【15L】
Don't worry, some of these copycats have already been banned, some are no longer working, and others seem to be appearing on variety shows less and less. When these people get tired of copying, they don't even bother to copy Kwon Ji-yong's character. As the saying goes, "Everyone wants to be Kwon Ji-yong, but no one wants to walk the path he walked."
【16L】
Male celebrities all over the world have this common problem: they simply don't have the responsibility to manage their sexual behavior! Fans can just cry, break down, and keep throwing money at them! I'm exhausted from seeing male celebrities whose careers have collapsed and still have a bunch of fans throwing money at them… It reminds me of innocent people like Seungri and Tapo, who were deceived. Even if he had casual sex with female trainees from the same company and used marijuana several times, it was all a lie; they were actually kind at heart!
【17L】
Wow, this is amazing... At midnight, many male celebrities' hymens automatically refresh, and with a flick of the skin, we're good boys again! Our brother-in-law, who loves showing off his love, doesn't count. At midnight, he's probably either working hard for his fans or liking their posts, or more likely, sleeping soundly with his officially announced wife, showered with blessings. But tonight's midnight is different; he's probably typing up Instagram to promote his wife!
With such a wonderful brother-in-law, what time do his fans go home? Every day they shout at GC's house, "Leopard Cat, I'm born!" "You must be so happy with me by your side!"
【18L】
Everyone dares to say that following Long Han is the best experience! His stable relationship never worries CP fans, his soaring career never disappoints solo fans, and although his fandom is inevitably messy, it has a higher proportion of normal people compared to others. If you were to follow Long Han solo, it would be heaven!
【19L】
The only downside is that it's way too expensive!
【20L】
It's not even necessary to do statistics to see that male celebrities really love dating younger women, especially those with more achievements, status, and wealth. Long Han is no exception. But when other male celebrities announce their relationships, I feel a bit embarrassed; men are all the same. However, I don't feel that way about Long Han. Is it because she's so charming? I feel that Long Han loves more than just her looks; he loves her radiant soul.
【21L】
Here's the thing: First of all, Han was already an adult at the time and a woman with a completely independent and mature mind. Secondly, according to the Holmeses' speculation, there were several months between their first encounter and when they actually started dating. Both of them were single, so it wasn't a seamless transition, and they had enough time to get to know each other, so it wasn't just a momentary whim.
Finally, a 13-year age gap seems rather small compared to other wealthy, powerful, and accomplished male celebrities. At least, this isn't the kind of age difference that would normally allow someone to be a father. Furthermore, since their official announcement, there haven't been any other scandals, he hasn't written bad songs to appease fans, and he hasn't relied on his past achievements. They seem like a healthy and developing couple. In this case, the older man/younger woman dynamic is kind of endearing, you know?
【22L】
And most importantly! It's their appearance! They're a perfect match! Lao Long (Long Han) has become incredibly thin since his comeback this year, and he's been so dedicated to his American military service that he's practically oblivious to the world around him. He dyes his hair almost every month to keep things fresh for his fans. He's so handsome, he's a perfect match for the stunningly beautiful Kou Jie. If a man with average looks, whose charm comes from his work and talent, were paired with a beautiful woman, it would easily create the impression that he's just "an ordinary man..." But Long Han's handsome appearance perfectly avoids that problem.
[23L]
I'm laughing so hard! Your fan filters are way too strong! You're going to any lengths to hype up Lao Long, is he really that handsome...?
[24L]
23rd floor, I have to say something to you. Humans are visual creatures. How could an idol like you, who has climbed to the top of this industry pyramid, not have a good face? Once you get it, you'll naturally think he's handsome. Did Justin Bieber become a global sensation just because of "Baby"?
【25L】
Ordered. Old Dragon is handsome in a different way this year than before. Before, he was full of youthful vigor, but also like a withered, decaying flower. This year, he exudes an even stronger "older dad" vibe. Mature men are great, mature men are wonderful! They'll deliberately act silly to make you laugh, yet they can also handle everything calmly and rationally, possessing a boundless capacity like the sky.
【26L】
I'm begging you, old fans, look up at the title. What are you trying to achieve by praising it so much in my post...? I'm asking for a tutorial on how to walk independently!
[27L]
Then look up at the main post. The poster is clearly a GC fan. So what if Tao Tao's brother-in-law is like this? Fine, I'll spoil you this once. I won't beg Lao Long anymore, I'll beg GC. You won't have any objections, right?
Here's something funny. I just remembered that Lao Long still hasn't followed Kou Jie on Instagram or Weibo. I don't understand your couple's play. You've tagged each other so many times, but you still won't follow each other back. What's the meaning of that?
【28L】
It's all about fun and romance. I guess on Instagram, it's because Quan Long only follows his brand's side account and can't follow Kou Jie, so Kou Jie doesn't follow him either. As for Weibo... it's probably because Quan Long hasn't been on it. I'm still the same; if you don't focus on me, I won't focus on you.
[29L]
Give me back the lively and vibrant Weibo Xiaolong I used to know!
【30L】
Your brother's energy is limited now, he's only focused on one thing. By the way, someone said yesterday they ran into Dad, Mom, and Sister shopping together, is that true or not? Is Sister in Hong Kong now?
【31L】
It's true! [Picture] The photos from the chance encounter have even surfaced. They must have been taken by a fan who stayed at the same hotel as my sister and her parents. I'm so envious! And if you look at the video my sister posted on Weibo today, you'll see the IP address is in Hong Kong, China.
【32L】
Huh? No? I always thought these kinds of materials were posted by the staff, how come you posted them yourself?
【33L】
I don't know, this girl is sometimes just a bit silly.
【34L】
Don't talk about my girl like that! This is a birthday gift for her fans, so it has to be posted online by her personally to make it meaningful. If the fans see that the IP address is from Korea but my girl is from Hong Kong, wouldn't they be even more heartbroken? You can't even feel my pure and sincere heart! I'm truly heartbroken!
【35L】
Wait, are you coming to my husband's concert on his birthday?! How lucky you are! No wonder there's no live stream today (crying).
【36L】
Haha, this girl has never done a birthday livestream before, it seems she's only ever accepted fan support? This year's support for Coldy is really intense! Were they choosing between Namsan Tower and Gwanghwamun for Coldy, and this year dkjj booked out Namsan Tower for about half a month? I remember someone guessed she might go to Coldy's concert on August 8th and want to do a CP (couple) support event, but that was rejected for fear of overshadowing the concert. Now it seems they were right!
【37L】
Yesterday, someone apparently spotted my sister and her parents in Tsim Sha Tsui. Her two bodyguards were very easy to recognize. I saw the original poster mention that she was also accompanied by several older-looking men and women, one of whom might be her godfather?! I feel like the strangers the poster mentioned might be her parents, so this is really suspicious! This might not just be a regular concert visit, but rather a meeting of the parents! (Shocked) (Shocked)
—[Post Link—"Bumped into Coldy's family gathering?!"]
【38L】
Holy crap! This is huge! So it's very likely that both sets of parents will be in the audience watching Lao Long perform today? He must be so nervous! I'm nervous for him too! Is it really okay for him to sing "I Love It" in front of his elders like that?! Thankfully, Lao Long's parents have seen many performances, and thankfully, Xiao Han's parents don't understand Korean, otherwise it would be a total disaster!
【39L】
Ahhh, I'm getting so nervous! Is it possible that Han Jie will be the guest at the Hong Kong show?
【40L】
That can't be right, the concert should have just started now? I haven't seen any news yet. It's quite reasonable for Xiaohan's parents to come, since it's her birthday today, and it's normal for family to get together. Quanlong, why did your concert have to happen on August 8th?! I don't know if it's a coincidence or not!
【41L】
Haha, there's no way to add more shows after all. Friday is better than Monday, so those who managed to snag tickets today are really lucky. The first show on a weekday isn't as expensive as the later two shows. They even have a chance to see Sister Han and her family.
【42L】
I did see posts about running into the parents at the concert, but I don't think I saw any about the sister? Was she backstage?
【43L】
I don't know, I don't know anything, I just know I'm so nervous. Kwon Ji-yong, good luck to you!
【44L】
Hey Tsim Sha Tsui, I think we should be able to see the dragon's support there, right? I wonder if you went to check out the sailboat (laughs) (laughs) that one is really cool!
【45L】
Did she secretly take a photo with the big screen of the dragon? @Coldyyy, hello, are you there? Could you please come out and say something? It would be best if you could do a live stream and talk about your schedule for today.
【46L】
I'm dying of laughter, is this a live concert broadcast?
【47L】
It's not impossible, right? The Douyin livestream of the concert was shut down, so I doubt anyone would dare shut down Sister Han's.
The two elders, Mr. and Mrs. Long, preferred to sit close together, so they always sat among the fans, but for privacy reasons, Jiang Tinghan and her family sat in a private room.
While it's already controversial enough that an idol's girlfriend is a guest at their concert, there's a somewhat blurred line. She chose not to perform on August 8th because it's her birthday and also G-Dragon's first concert. Her fans and G-Dragon's fans might not be happy if she performed on that day. Of course, it couldn't be the last show either, as the last show of her birthday month would likely bring surprises from fans. All things considered, a show in the middle would be the most suitable.
From the fans' perspective, they would definitely think that if she were to be a guest, she should either appear at the first show or at the last. By doing the opposite, she could give the fans a real shock.
Jiang Tinghan sat quietly, gazing into the distance at Kwon Ji-yong, who was only the size of a grain of rice in the center of the stage. Before going on stage, the man had been saying he was nervous, but once on stage, he was completely at ease.
This morning when he met with his elders, Kwon Ji-yong was wearing a regular T-shirt and trousers. Although the color combination was anything but ordinary, it wasn't too extravagant either. But now, wearing his glamorous performance outfit, he has a completely different vibe. The crown, sunglasses, the crimson pillar of fire, and the mad and sharp rap make him seem like a completely different person.
The elders didn't feel any pressure; they watched it just like they used to watch Liu Laogen's Grand Stage. They laughed along with the others, and they even had Jiang Tinghan's daisy support sticks in their hands.
If Kwon Ji-yong saw this scene, he would definitely be shy for a long time. He is already performing a series of cute and coquettish tricks on stage for his fans.
Even though G-Dragon speaks in his slurred English and a considerable number of fans can't fully understand him, they still give him the most enthusiastic response. August 8th has a special meaning for G-Dragon, who is crazy about the number 88, and it's the same for his fans. They all want to convey their excitement and love to G-Dragon.
The attitudes of Long fans and Kou fans towards their sister-in-law/brother-in-law have always been different. This is because Jiang Tinghan was the first to speak out in 2023 and accompanied Kwon Ji-yong through that very difficult period. Therefore, Long fans are very tolerant of Jiang Tinghan. Many people even listened to her new single during the day and deeply felt her love and care for their oppa. She still remembers the previous events clearly. How could fans who witnessed the overwhelming dark public opinion that could almost kill during that period not be moved?
The fans have always held a grudge against the "older man," feeling that he took advantage of their sister too much and made her foolishly announce her relationship during the peak of her career, so they have never been kind to him.
But on August 8th, fans from both sides surprisingly reached a unified and tolerant attitude towards the "Coldy allegedly attending GD's concert" incident. Unlike many gossips who were stirring up trouble and saying things like "constantly provoking fans" or "if I were a fan, I would have already unfollowed them," the fans' mentality was simply "as long as our brother/sister is happy."
In a sense, the couple's repeated displays of affection have desensitized the fans who harbored reservations.
But they already have a perfect logic that can convince themselves: how could fans who truly love her or are grateful to her bear to put this little girl under pressure from fans on her birthday? Moreover, she released a new song today that touches everyone's heart. Listening to the broken feeling in the first half of the song, who could bear to make her really sad?
Today, let's be Aladdin's lamp for once. Coldy can do whatever he wants, and GD can do whatever he wants.
—As long as they don't do something like proposing at a concert, which they think is romantic but is actually irrational, it's fine.
I can tolerate it even if he's a guest performer at a concert today!
They were even somewhat expectant, but they didn't see any guests during the encore. Kwon Ji-yong came back on stage singing "This Love," went down to the audience to eat, and then returned to the stage to thank his GDteam. In the end, only "Untitled" was left.
Before that, there will be one last talk.
Kwon Ji-yong put his baseball cap back on, his eyes and the corners of his mouth curving under the brim. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said, word by word, "I see all your love and support out there..."
Although he speaks very slowly, his sticky and indistinct pronunciation, like maltose, makes it not so easy for fans to understand. Of course, many fans are already used to his unique way of speaking and can translate it quite well.
“The signs, the banner, so much of it… My family showed me a part of it all. Thank you so much. Really.”
"G-Dragon! Saranghae!" The fans below could hardly contain their excitement, expressing their love and screaming. Some even shouted until their voices cracked. What could be happier than having their support seen by their idol? Isn't the point of spending money, time, and energy on support activities all for the emotional value of this moment?
Kwon Ji-yong paused for a moment, then pulled down his hat brim, but the corners of his mouth continued to turn upwards: "Na-do... Saranghae." (I... love you too.)
The fans erupted in another round of enthusiastic screams, with many silently condemning him as a "bad man."
When this guy was promoting something to his girlfriend in the early hours of the morning, he said "Nadusa," but who knows if he was taking the opportunity to finish the sentence for his girlfriend, who might not even be there.
How could the fans not go crazy? This is also a response to the fans' loud shouts of "Saranghae!" They can also get a share of Oppa's love. He is a man who has mastered killing two birds with one stone.
Now that he's dating a Chinese woman, it's time to let the fans have some fun!
A bold male fan in the audience shouted, "Brother Long!!! In Chinese!!!"
"Husband?" Kwon Ji-yong switched to the language system in a daze, his tone and expression full of doubt, wondering if there was something wrong with his ears, but it wasn't uncommon for male fans to call him husband.
The fans burst into laughter and repeatedly chanted, "Brother Long!!!"
Kwon Ji-yong suddenly realized: "Ah... Yong-hyung! Me! ME?"
Although Jiang Tinghan knew it was due to the in-ear monitor, she couldn't help but marvel at the extent of Kwon Ji-yong's embarrassment. Hearing it like this, Ji-yong really does resemble her husband a bit.
The godfather silently put down his light stick and said with some disdain, "This kid is a bit silly."
Jiang Tinghan thought to herself, "Maybe he's deliberately playing hard to get with the fans," but on the surface, she still had to maintain her boyfriend's image: "It's hard to hear what the fans are saying clearly on stage because the sound is very noisy, and I'm wearing an in-ear monitor, uh... an in-ear monitor is a tool that allows you to hear your own voice."
Her godfather glanced at her and said, "You're siding with outsiders."
Jiang Tinghan said helplessly, "Dad..."
As a result, both the godfather and the real father said at the same time, "What?"
Jiang Tinghan fell silent immediately: "...It's nothing."
She has quite a few fathers.
Biological father, godfather, and...
"Yeah!!!" The fans in the audience barely realized that what they were saying was Mandarin. The mainland fans let out another round of enthusiastic screams.
"Aaaaaaahh ...
Some Hong Kong fans rolled their eyes, but no one cared. Before this, Kwon Ji-yong had been using English plus a few newly learned Cantonese words, which was enough to cater to fans in that region. Now it's time to show how much effort he has put into learning Mandarin.
"I don't know if singing this song at this time is good or not, but I've been preparing for it for a very long time!" Kwon Ji-yong still couldn't say "very," and he was very reassuringly clumsy.
He took off his hat, revealing bright, sparkling eyes. He twirled the hat in his hand a few times, like a fluttering butterfly, or like a horn signaling the band to start playing music again.
This was followed by a low, menacing voice: "Just for you—"
Following the English version, the Chinese version, "Heart in Disarray," drove Chinese fans wild.
Jiang Tinghan was somewhat surprised and immediately sat up straight. What is it?
They actually brought this song to a concert? This song is a technically impressive piece by the original singer, and it's incredibly difficult to perform live! How dare this person take on such a bold challenge?
When she previously expressed her desire to hear this song, Kwon Ji-yong kept putting it off, saying he was too busy with his concert, lacked inspiration, or couldn't be a "scumbag" right now and needed to take it slow. She had no idea how the song was progressing.
She had wondered if Kwon Ji-yong had given her this song as a birthday present, but when she let the dragon in at midnight, he didn't say anything and just continued to be clingy, wanting to sleep together, so Jiang Tinghan gave up on the idea.
Who knew—it was actually a stage design?!
Jiang Tinghan's expectations were immediately raised to the maximum. She even stood up and walked to the side of the VIP box closest to the audience, her eyes burning with anticipation, wanting to fully appreciate Kwon Ji-yong's performance.
Singing Chinese songs to Chinese fans in China, especially on August 8th, isn't that killing two birds with one stone?
Kwon Ji-yong is a complete romantic madman...

Author's note: If only I could hear Long sing Chinese songs for several minutes in real life! [pity][pity]
Thank you G-Dragon for being with me throughout 2025. If it weren't for him, I might have some savings.
