Chapter 45, Part 1, "You Quiz" Forum | A...
2023 was truly extraordinary!
On January 1st, Kwon Ji-yong's official account posted a video of G_Division. Kwon Ji-yong with black hair looks different from half a year ago. His face has become rounder than before, and he has styled his hair neatly, making him look younger and cuter. However, his voice is much deeper and more magnetic than before.
After a long absence from the camera, Kwon Ji-yong appeared much more reserved and shy, frequently covering his mouth with his hand, allowing the audience to clearly see the smiley face and star tattoos on his hands.
He extended New Year's greetings and best wishes to everyone, and also announced some major news.
"I expect to meet everyone through various activities in 2023, and the album is also in preparation. In the new year, I will try my best to bring you good news."
Last year was a tough year for everyone, and we all had a hard time. This year, we must do even better than last year... Stay healthy, Happy New Year, and let's run forward with energy in the new year!
"That concludes my unexpected greeting."
Finally, he performed a princess-style gift and a grand Korean gift, then hopped away like a rabbit.
This news was like a thunderbolt, igniting GD's fandom and causing excited screams to erupt everywhere.
Am I dreaming? Is this an official announcement that I'll be making a solo comeback in 2023?!
Yes, yes, yes, yes! And importantly, "the album is also in preparation!" Ahhh, honey, I've finally waited for you! I'm so glad I didn't give up~ Happiness has been so hard-won!
I've gained weight again. Life's been pretty good lately. Seeing how well you're doing makes me happy too!
[I'm so happy I could cry! This isn't some vague hint, it's an official announcement! No more guessing! Do you know how many months I've been listening to those few seconds of "Seven Hours Time Difference"? This year I can finally hear the whole song on the album, right?]
[Oppa, I want to hear that sweet little song at the end! Every time I hear "Take me, I'm yours," I feel so happy!!!]
[Our G-Dragon is still so cute! He's been silliness after silencing us and making us laugh!]
【Why bother with such a grand gesture? Bro, if you really release an album, I should be the one kowtowing to you. I'm not even following K-pop anymore if you don't make a comeback!】
[Hey Kpop, are you ready to tremble? GD ONE OF A KIND is about to make a massive comeback!]
[The dragon lasted for over three minutes! I haven't seen you for so long in such clear footage in so long! (Tears) (Tears)]
[I'm guessing it'll be a comeback on August 18th! That would be double celebration!]
A familiar group chat—
Coldy, my goddess: GD is making a comeback!
The bloom of youth: What does it have to do with us?
Doukou Nianhua: ...Just don't talk nonsense. If he says that "Seven Hours" was written under XXX circumstances, I won't let him get away with it.
Relying on a pension to support Xiao Kou in old age: The future seems bleak. If she returns, wouldn't there still be overt interactions, various events, and award ceremonies?
Please feel free to message me: What's there to be afraid of? So many people might not even meet up. If you ask me, it's better to be open about it; at least there are so many eyes watching. Who knows what might happen behind the scenes?
Although there is no concrete evidence, based on the clues they observed and their intuition as fans, they felt that there was more to the relationship between GD and Coldy than met the eye.
This old man must be lusting after Coldy and plotting something! There's an even bigger crush on her than Yoon Ji-chae!
Everyone online is mocking GD for not watching Coldy's performance, but some people in the group don't think so. They know that GD was suspected of watching from below the stage before. Would GD really leave Teddy alone? Maybe he just sneaked into the audience to watch.
Most importantly—
He's still liking it.
Please feel free to comment: I'm really speechless. In our collaboration song, he only liked the part featuring Kou Bao, but he didn't like a single one for the duet. Anyone with eyes can see what he's thinking...
Please feel free to message me: I'm practically turning into his likes monitor; I really want to compile a list and sell it to his fans for a high price.
Dear Koubao: This guy's likes are worthless; worthless things can't be sold.
Kou Didi Dada It's raining: I said that DK at least helped promote Han's album, but GD just likes and comments all day long. Stop just liking, as a sponsor, retweet and promote it, or leave a comment, isn't he a fan of Lumera?
Dear Koubao: Never mind, it's better to stay away from our Koubao. Coldy is getting way too many likes, is it a test of his fans' obedience...?
Relying on a pension to support Xiao Kou in old age: that's also for us...
Doukou Nianhua: If you really love our Koujie so much, please don't let it clash with Lumera's comeback. I'm begging you!
Coldy, my goddess: My career-oriented fan is moved to tears.
Jiang Tinghan was also a little surprised when she saw the news that Kwon Ji-yong would be making a comeback this year. He hadn't told her about it at all when they met yesterday.
However, she didn't say when their debut album would be released. The two of them were taking the time to be intimate and not talk about these work-related matters.
She sent Kwon Ji-yong a message: 【Oppa, comeback fight! (clenched fist)】
Kwon Ji-yong: [Good luck to our Tinghan on her first comeback!]
Jiang Tinghan: [That's more than just a little oil added (The kitten proudly holds its head high.JPG)]
Kwon Ji-yong: [(Kiss) (Kiss) I know you will do your best, and I'm trying my best to catch up with you. I'm trying to work harder.]
Jiang Tinghan: [Refusing to be praised to death (There's a galaxy between us.JPG)]
Kwon Ji-yong: [kkk released a comeback video today and also had a short album meeting. They've roughly decided on the album's name. Guess what it's called?]
Jiang Tinghan: [Shouting "Hello, I'm G-Dragon, I'm back," like in "e back"?]
Kwon Ji-yong: [No! This is so unoriginal. Am I that kind of person?]
Jiang Tinghan: [Then let's call it "Everyone kneel down before me, K-pop owes its success to me"]
Kwon Ji-yong: [Hey...that's so disrespectful. It's okay if you tell me, but you can't tell anyone else.]
Jiang Tinghan: [kkk It's because I'm chatting with Oppa that I'm being so unrestrained]
Kwon Ji-yong lost count of how many times his heart trembled during their few chats. And that was just from reading the text. If he could hear the other person's voice, his heart would probably flutter even more.
Jiang Tinghan's straight-up shots are truly unbearable.
[(Kissing even more passionately) (Kissing) (Kissing) Ta-da! The answer is bermensch, which means "superman" in German. It's been so long since I've done a solo performance, I'm a little nervous. I hope I can be as strong as Superman.]
Jiang Tinghan: [I thought it was Latin, the same as our group name. That's a great meaning, but Oppa, you're already stronger than Superman!]
Kwon Ji-yong: [(Cat covering face.JPG) I considered using Latin, but in Nietzsche's philosophy, Ubermensch refers to a higher state of mind and an ideal personality, so I wanted to retain that special meaning.]
Jiang Tinghan: [Ah... I seem to remember this, isn't it "Thus Spoke Zarathustra"? It talks about transcending mediocrity, self-overcoming, and affirming life, and so on.]
Kwon Ji-yong: [Sigh! Yes! I thought philosophy was rather dry, and you focused more on studying interesting realities. I didn't expect you to have read it (starry-eyed)]
Jiang Tinghan: [It's quite boring for me. I used to read philosophy books when I didn't want to stay up late, and I ended up finishing several of them.]
Kwon Ji-yong didn't force Jiang Tinghan to read it; lovers should find common ground while respecting differences: "Haha, I sometimes read philosophy to pass the time too. When I'm reading philosophy, I feel like time slows down, and the day seems longer."
Jiang Tinghan: [Great method, I'll learn it next time.]
Kwon Ji-yong: [If I said I'd like to invite you to collaborate on a song with me, would you agree?]
He finally revealed his true intentions, and couldn't wait to release the collaboration song just two days after its initial announcement.
[I discussed it with the team, and we're thinking of inviting a currently popular female idol to collaborate. The album should be released in the second half of the year, and I think by then you'll have established yourself quite well. On another level, collaborating with me could also be considered... a way to enhance your resume?]
Just by looking at this message, you can feel Kwon Ji-yong's anxiety. He added a lot of extra details, fearing Jiang Tinghan wouldn't agree, to prove he had ulterior motives, but not many. Inviting female singers to feature on his songs is also commonplace, such as "Missing You," "Black," and "Oh Yeah."
Jiang Tinghan felt no guilt and quickly replied: "Oppa, this isn't something I can decide. You need to send a cooperation invitation to our company."
Kwon Ji-yong's eyes lit up. Did this mean that as long as Wake One agreed, Ting Han would agree too?
He became more motivated at work, and writing a collaboration with Jiang Tinghan was a piece of cake for him.
I can't wait to release the song tomorrow!

As expected, "Utopia, Tonight" broke into the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 in its first week, debuting at number 23. This is quite an impressive achievement for a newcomer, indicating the potential for further growth in the coming weeks. This is evident from the fact that "Utopia, Tonight" has been in the top five of the Spotify US daily chart for three consecutive days, and it has also frequently topped the iTunes US real-time chart this week.
Western fans still prefer this style.
The three songs, "Waves," "Don't Play Pranks," and "Life's Too Tiring, Go Jump into the Han River," have also achieved remarkable results. "Waves" has been the top-ranked song on Melon's daily chart for a week. "Don't Play Pranks" and "Life's Too Tiring, Go Jump into the Han River" have both seen a reversal in their rankings. "Don't Play Pranks" has remained stable in third or fourth place, while "Life's Too Tiring, Go Jump into the Han River" has surprisingly jumped from eighth to second place. On the other hand, "Tonight's Utopia" has dropped out of the top ten, but it has not fallen out of the top ten.
The sales growth of "The Wave" album was also quite normal. Although sales inevitably dropped by more than half on the second day, there was no huge difference of several hundred copies sold. It still maintained sales of nearly 300,000 copies, declining at a steady rate, and finally sold 2 million albums in the first week.
This record is already the first in the history of both male and female groups. Even if male groups don't perform well or have high popularity, their sales are generally quite good. However, it is much more difficult for female groups. Therefore, it is incredible that Lumera has achieved such a feat, and it is worthy of being recorded in history.
Lately, everyone in the company and the group members are in high spirits. The former are happy that money is pouring into their pockets, and the latter are excited that they finally have market-recognized achievements! They have work to back them up!
The song was released on a Wednesday, and on Thursday they appeared on Yoo Jae-suk's talk show, "You Quiz on the Bolck."
This show focuses on in-depth interviews and has virtually no game segments, making it a terrible choice for idols with empty heads. However, it's perfect for Lumera, where all members can participate in the creative process, showcasing their charm and highlighting their group's uniqueness compared to other groups.
The girls were a little reserved when they first met Yoo Jae-suk, a big name in the entertainment industry, especially those who weren't good at Korean.
After a brief training session, the girls bowed to the two MCs, Yoo Jae-suk and Jo Se-ho, and said in unison, "Ani-haseyo! We are Lumera! Let's light up the era of Lumera!"
They discussed for a long time what slogans each group had to have, such as "We shine brightly, you are Lumera!" and "Our light is the future! We are Lumera!" It sounded like Ultraman transforming, which was really embarrassing. In the end, they chose a more normal slogan.
But the eight of them also had to simultaneously extend their hands outwards, mimicking the motion of emitting light. A wave of shame washed over them again, and they could only keep telling themselves: Get used to it sooner, get used to it sooner, get used to it sooner…
Since it was their first time meeting the public on a variety show since their debut, the Lumera girls wore mostly light makeup, which looked very fresh and clear, and you could clearly see the youthful and vibrant blush on their cheeks.
Jiang Tinghan had a perm with small waves, and her long hair, which was loose and flowing over her shoulders and neck, looked particularly fluffy. She wore a knitted dress, a sweater, and Mary Jane shoes, making her look delicate, cute, and fluffy. The finishing touch was the silver cross necklace on her chest.
She waved to the camera first: "I'm Coldy, the captain and face of Lumera."
The others introduced themselves one by one. Their roles were not yet clear. Only Putuo Qian said that she was the main vocalist, Yue Di Anli was the dancer, and Bae Xiumin and Kim Ruixi were the rappers. The others used some self-praising introductions.
After the introductions, everyone clasped their hands together again, their eyes sparkling, and said, "Please support us!"
After going through the whole process, all eight of them breathed a sigh of relief; it was finally over.
The two seniors were very good at taking care of newcomers. Yoo Jae-suk immediately introduced himself and Jo Se-ho, and said, "Don't be so nervous. Let's relax and chat casually. Please have a seat."
"Wow..." After all eight people were seated, Yoo Jae-suk immediately praised them: "Our Luemra has been doing really well lately. Their new album, which was just released yesterday, has already made it onto several trending charts. Congratulations!"
Several of the younger members seemed a little flustered, saying thank you shyly before turning to look at the team leader.
Jiang Tinghan gave a polite smile: "Thank you, senior. We are very satisfied with the results our carefully crafted album has achieved, and we are also very happy that our songs are loved by the public."
Yoo Jae-suk: "It was really great. Before you guys even arrived, Jo Se-jae was humming the song 'If Life Is Too Tiring, Go Jump into the Han River'."
Cao Shihao immediately picked up on the joke, singing in his rough, saw-like voice: "If life is too tiring, go jump into the Han River! Say goodbye to this rotten world!"
Yoo Jae-suk immediately retorted, "Cho Se-ah, who gave you the audacity to embarrass yourself in front of the original singer?"
Cao Shihao retorted indignantly, "Sigh, didn't you say that..."
With just a few words, the atmosphere became lively, and the members all smiled.
Yoo Jae-suk: "Do we have the honor of hearing the original singer sing this part? Let's hear the difference."
Cao Shihao: "I don't think there's a difference."
Jiang Tinghan nodded: "It's fine. Senior Cao Shihao's singing is absolutely heavenly. We can only make a fool of ourselves."
She hummed a line softly, though the key was lowered, it was still melodious: "If life is too tiring, go jump into the Han River—"
Skye then said: "Wash all this shit away!"
Yoon Ji-chae: "Don't tell me the future will be better."
Anri Tsukichi: "My future is XXX Today!"
As she swallowed the "Fuking" sound, the other seven team members made a "beep" sound in unison, manually blurring out the censorship.
Jiang Tinghan raised his hand and gestured twice, then said, "When this part is followed by the line sung by Senior Cao Shihao, it becomes a perfect duet."
Yoo Jae-suk laughed when he heard this, then looked at the camera and became serious in a second: "Post-production staff, please."
The production team actually fulfilled their request by inserting a chorus segment into the broadcast episode, which was the opposite of the phrase "the music was heavenly at the beginning and the music was heavenly at the end."
[Haha, this is so sweet!]
[KKK, these kids are so funny! This perfectly timed "beep" part cracked me up. Did you guys rehearse it?]
[Who says Lumeera lacks team spirit? This team spirit is right here! Our teamwork is amazing!]
[Our Coldy is so good at catching jokes! She did a great job on her first talk show appearance!]
The others looked at their Coldy mom like fledglings, wondering what would happen to her without Coldy.
Yoo Jae-suk, maintaining a serious expression, asked, "Then why was this song title chosen? Many people online say that the title is a disservice to the song."
Jiang Tinghan: "The inspiration for this song actually came from a sentence I scribbled in my notebook: I was so tired that I wanted to jump into the Han River and let the flowing water take me home. I was so tired every day during the talent show that I wrote down this complaint."
"Later..." Jiang Tinghan hesitated for a moment, "a teacher who taught me how to make songs encouraged me to create a song on this theme, so this song can be said to be the first song I ever wrote."
“Ah…it turns out it wasn’t ‘Autophagy’ after all. ‘Life is Too Tiring’ was the first song that Coldy created. That’s incredibly significant,” Yoo Jae-suk said.
"It was written from the heart, which is why it resonated with everyone," Cao Shihao added. "This song perfectly expresses my feelings. I often have similar complaints, and in the end, it is my family who gives me strength."
Jiang Tinghan: "Yes, family is a miracle."
[Huh? Isn't this teacher FOX? I guessed right!]
No wonder Coldy's songwriting skills have improved so rapidly; he's received guidance from a renowned teacher.
Seeing how openly Coldy mentioned FOX's existence, and how grateful he sounded, it's clear their relationship is normal. Those who are speculating and spreading rumors, please stop.
[This teacher is really nice; she encourages Coldy to appreciate the little things in life.]
Cultured people are different; even a casual sentence they write has charm. If it were me, I could only write a poem like "This is a shitty world" and it would flop without a trace.
[Kiyo, you're such a homesick little girl! You speak so highly of your family, calling them a "miracle." Coldy, that really resonates with me. Write another song about "family being a miraculous existence."]
Your scheme was so loud I could hear it all the way in Busan!
I almost forgot to mention, Coldy's makeup and styling today are so cute! She looks like a pink little bear, who knows? And her sweater looks like pajamas, so so casual and relaxed~
This yellow sweater and green skirt combination looks so spring-like! Wear this during your music show performances, it'll definitely melt everyone's hearts!
[Just add a magic hat and you can cosplay as a little witch]
Kwon Ji-yong snapped several screenshots of Jiang Tinghan in front of his tablet screen.
That little expression is so cute, that cool face is so pretty, his smile is so heartwarming and sweet, the pink bubbles in his eyes are practically overflowing.
He uploaded the screenshot to his phone and quickly changed the profile picture of the J.yong account to a pink-haired little witch version of Coldy.
Looking left and right, it's absolutely perfect!
Because of his recent activity in the fan community, many people are secretly following his account. Some people noticed that he changed his profile picture and tagged him in the group.
[Is Digital Bro also watching You Quiz?]
【J.yong18624: Hmm】
Coldy is so adorable today, like a pink marshmallow! Give our baby lots of cute makeup and styling, it's like raising a daughter!
J.yong18624: (laughs)
At first glance, the soybean-shaped smiley face seems to express agreement, but looking at that grinning face, it just seems a bit sarcastic.
It's probably just my imagination. I guess the guy with the numbers is getting old and doesn't understand the nuances of these expressions.
Kwon Ji-yong is so perceptive; he simply doesn't want to be called "baby." If you're my baby, then call me that.
After secretly badmouthing someone in his heart, Kwon Ji-yong sent a red envelope to soothe his guilt.
The bottom row is all—
[Thanks, Digital Bro! That's really generous!]
It took dozens of messages to restore normal chat.
[Coldy mentioned that this teacher is really nice; kudos to encouragement-based education!]
Yes, although Coldy only mentioned it once, the fact that she mentioned it must have helped her a lot. Our baby has received a lot of love and help along the way, and all of this has nurtured the fruit of success.
It was worth it! Our teachers will be proud of our first album's results!
[A teacher would be incredibly happy to have a student like Coldy; our Coldy is both smart and hardworking!]
The fans in the group chatted normally for about a dozen minutes when they saw that J.yong18624 sent another red envelope, and it was much bigger than the last one.
Fans were shocked when they clicked on the link and saw the amount.
[This is outrageous! Did something good happen to you today, Digital Bro?]
[J.yong18624: Just happy (laughs)]
The interview in the video is still ongoing.
Yoo Jae-suk: "Besides this song, the other three songs on the album were all written by Coldy. What was the members' reaction when they first heard this news? Were there any interesting stories that happened during the creative process?"
The members looked at each other in surprise, and finally Kong Yeon-seo spoke first: "At that time, I felt... Coldy was amazing! He spent a week bringing us three songs except for 'Waves'."
Bae Soo-min nodded in agreement: "Ma Jia, we also made 'Waves' together that day. Skye played the opening tune on the drum kit, and Coldy was basically able to hum the rest of the melody and lyrics."
Yoo Jae-suk was somewhat surprised: "Such an excellent song was created in just one day?"
Yoon Ji-chae: "To be precise, it took three hours. One hour to write the melody and lyrics, one hour to revise and optimize, and the last hour was enough to fill in the basic framework and complete most of the arrangement."
Jiang Tinghan glanced at her with some surprise; she was indeed very observant.
Cao Shihao: "Wow, that's really fast. Coldy, it would take me several hours if I asked you to write a song for me next time."
Yoo Jae-suk: "You want to go too? Then I'll invite you too. My offer is higher than Cho Se-hyun's."
Cao Shihao: "This is unfair competition."
Yoo Jae-suk: "Is it unfair competition even if it's just one dollar more?"
Jiang Tinghan smiled slightly: "The seniors should need about a week. I'm more familiar with the members, so I wrote it faster."
Yoo Jae-suk: "Then come on our show more often."
Regardless of whether it was just politeness or the truth, Jiang Tinghan agreed first: "Okay!"
"As for interesting stories..." Kim Seo-hee thought for a moment, "I don't think there were any during the creation process, but there were some during filming. The day we filmed the 'The Wave' music video was so cold that Yeon-seo's eyelashes were frozen into ice crystals."
Cao Shihao: "I think I've seen this trend before. The actual filming was indeed hard work, but the results were very good."
“Yes,” Kim Seo-hee continued, “After filming wrapped up, we rushed back to the car, our brains were practically frozen stiff.”
Kong Yanshu seemed to remember what had happened and immediately chuckled to herself.
Jiang Tinghan sat up straight, adopting a "not my problem" attitude.
Jin Ruixi: "Everyone's hands were frozen. Coldy tried to unlock the phone with her fingerprint many times but failed. I don't know why she got so fixated on the phone, refusing to use the password, and then..."
Yoo Jae-suk: "The phone just automatically locked?"
Kim Seo-hee: "Besides locking the phone, we also discovered that she wasn't using her own phone, but Yeon-seo's, but she didn't realize it."
This is a rare glimpse into Coldy's silly antics, which made the other members who understand Korean secretly laugh.
"Oh my, this is so confusing. The phone case, the lock screen, the phone model are all different, right?" Yoo Jae-suk teased Jiang Tinghan.
Jiang Tinghan tried to argue: "Because I was wearing too many layers that day, my phone screen turned completely black, and I couldn't tell the difference for a moment."
This was clearly unconvincing, and the members laughed even louder.
Cao Shihao: "Your phones are all here with the production team. Do you want to take them out and confront each other?"
This segment is from the script, revealing some of the idol's personal belongings to allow fans to get closer to the idol's life and bridge the gap between them.
Jiang Tinghan pretended to be reluctant to refuse, but of course, she was ultimately unsuccessful.
The girls all stood up and reached for their phones.
Yoo Jae-suk: "You won't take the wrong one this time, right? Which one is Coldy's phone?"
Jiang Tinghan snatched the phone from the very edge: "I can't mistake it, it's the one with the brown bear on it."
Yoo Jae-suk repeatedly called back: "How could you admit your mistake before you had the pendant?"
Jiang Tinghan shut his mouth at the right time and remained silent.
The screen was filled with another wave of wild "hahahahaha" comments.
Even Coldy has this day; so adorably silly!
[I'm about to spread a rumor! Hanxiang and Shuyi are so close we can exchange phones anytime!]
[Coldy: It's all this awful weather's fault! I'm freezing!]
Can we see the secrets on Coldy's phone?! (Excited!)
[But I already know Coldy's lock screen is Wangcai (a dog in Chinese mythology). Are we going to have to watch another memoir of a deceased dog? I'm easily moved to tears, I can't stand seeing pictures of Wangcai.]
The comparison was clearly just a pretense; everyone showed their lock screen to the camera and explained the meaning behind their wallpaper.
Jiang Tinghan turned the lit screen towards the camera. The lock screen still featured Wangcai, but unlike the previous photos, she had cut out Wangcai and placed it on a picture of a pink and black night sky with shimmering lights, swirling winds, white snow, and yellow-green brushstrokes shooting into the sky like ropes or fireworks. Next to Wangcai was a small black figure standing on the snow, perhaps representing Jiang Tinghan. The whole wallpaper had a somewhat stream-of-consciousness feel, but it was beautiful and cute.
This image doesn't fill the entire picture; it seems to be just an illustration from a page of a book, a miniature version, with a blank circle around it. In the lower right corner of the blank circle is a famous quote: "Man is a rope between the animal and the superman, a rope suspended over the abyss."
Yoo Jae-suk let out a curious and surprised "Oh": "This lock screen seems to have a deep meaning."
Jiang Tinghan smiled faintly: "No, this is my family's handsome little dog. I put it on a photo I took of a book page, as if it accompanied me while I read."
“It’s a really interesting idea,” Yoo Jae-suk inquired further. “What kind of book is this? Just looking at the illustrations, it seems quite sophisticated, with a strong philosophical feel to it.”
Jiang Tinghan: "Nietzsche's 'Every day we do not dance is a day we betray life.'"
“Wow…it’s a classic,” Cao Shihao exclaimed. “It seems I need to read more books to write lyrics that are as moving as Coldy’s.”
Jiang Tinghan honestly replied, "I haven't seen it yet. I just bought it and took a picture of it."
The two MCs were immediately amused by her sudden honesty. It was only natural and reasonable for a high-achieving student like her to portray herself as someone who reads a lot, but they didn't expect her to be so straightforward.
Can I say this? Coldy is incredibly cute today! I want this wallpaper too, it's so pretty!
[Such an honest kid, I think I saw helplessness in the MC's eyes.]
[Expert: I can't carry you, I really can't. You don't even want my praise.]
[Our Coldy only accepts deserved rewards and never asks for extra praise; he refuses to be flattered to the point of being overwhelmed!]
[Actually, in some ways it shows high emotional intelligence, and it can also win over the audience. I often buy books to pretend to be cultured, haha.]
[This is so nice... I actually feel a sense of healing... Coldy is not dwelling on the sadness of the past at all, and is still having Wangcai accompany him in various ways.]
Forgetting is the end of death. She always remembered, which meant Wangcai was like living forever. Coldy must have chosen this sentence on purpose: "human," "animal," "superman," "rope," as if the first three words were tightly bound together by a rope.
[Pet owners really empathized with this. How could someone so devoted to animals be a bad person? Even if it's just a persona they're deliberately creating, I'll accept it.]
I don't understand why Coldy keeps using his deceased dog to elicit sympathy. Does he really have the heart to exploit his own dog for his own benefit?
[Where did you see the sob story? Wangcai only appeared two or three times, and each time she showed him, she was calm, even smiling, not really sad. She was just reminiscing; she had already moved on. The original meaning of this famous quote refers to the dangerous adventures humans face as they evolve from beasts to superhumans. By including a dog, the dog replaces the beast, signifying that the evolution from beast to superhuman begins with love for the dog, carrying that love into adventure. You don't understand such a beautiful meaning; you only see a non-existent sob story.]
Wow! A literary giant! I love this interpretation!
[I'm not some big shot, just a Nietzsche enthusiast. Nietzsche was super adorable in real life; everyone can look him up if they're interested! (Shout)]
Kwon Ji-yong propped his head up with his hand, looking at Jiang Tinghan's newly changed phone wallpaper, and revealed a gentle smile.
They actually went to "study" just like they had said in their previous conversation.
Is this what people online mean by "everything gets a response"?
He always felt spiritually lonely, so he read a lot of philosophy books to enrich his spiritual world. His favorite was Nietzsche's theory of the Übermensch, which states that individuals gain inner dignity and value by constantly overcoming their own weaknesses and external challenges, which means becoming better.
In this way, he could see all the hardships he faced as necessary obstacles on the road to becoming a superman, and thus suppress the thought that "Is it because I'm not good enough that I'm often criticized?" and transform it into "These criticisms and difficulties are all to help me become better." His mental state did indeed improve a lot.
With this album, he also wanted to convey this spirit to his listeners.
Even though Jiang Tinghan said she hadn't read the book, Quan Zhilong still felt that she was approaching and touching his spiritual world; at least she was using Nietzsche's famous quote very well.
She went to see it for herself, didn't she? This thought lingered in my mind for a long time, slowly brewing into a sweet honey that clung to all the surging emotions. That sweetness seeped into the narrow crevices of my heart, filling them little by little.
Immediately, Kwon Ji-yong lowered his head, vigorously rubbed the husky's head, and whispered, "Am I too easily satisfied?"
If you listen carefully, you can hear a hint of laughter in his voice.
The husky blinked its blue eyes, appearing quite "intelligent" and not at all dull.
Kwon Ji-yong felt it was necessary to improve Haha's IQ; what was the point of him always looking so stupid?
He took a book by Nietzsche and opened it in front of the husky: "Look, even Wangcai has read it. As its younger brother, you should also study it. You can't fall too far behind in your studies, understand?"
Haha wanted to bite the book like a toy, but when it saw Kwon Ji-yong's eyes, it chickened out. Things are different now. Kwon Ji-yong, who has learned how to train dogs, has become very prestigious and has a high status in the family. Haha immediately tucked its tail between its legs and ran away.
What is the human babbling about? I can't understand a word.
"well……"
The old father sighed deeply, wondering what to do if his child's IQ was too low.
The world is going to the dogs; now even dogs are being raised like tigers.
