Chapter 117 Let's Sing the Big Stick's Song (35,000 words) Forum style available...
The first episode of Lumera's new group variety show "Lume Time" officially aired at the end of June. In this episode, they visited Weihuang Guangfuhe in Shanghai and ordered their signature drunken chicken hot pot.
While waiting for their food, the kids played a song relay game, singing songs by any K-pop artist or group. If they couldn't keep up, they lost. They couldn't sing Lumera songs, including solo performances.
Starting with Yoon Ji-chae, who was sitting at the very edge, she sang "Blue," a song by their junior group ZB1: "I want to run freely, to go to your world filled with blue light~"
This song is a new song released by ZB1 during their comeback in March this year. It is said to be the second to last album before their disbandment. Lumera made a comeback in April, and with senior artists GD and Coldy making their mark, ZB1 was sandwiched in the middle and only got a few number one hits. ZB1 fans criticized WK1 for their terrible planning, saying that since all of them were WK1 artists, couldn't they coordinate things better? They ended up being cannon fodder by hitting so many big names.
However, the song is still of good quality; it has a very refreshing and cheerful style.
The next one was Jiang Tinghan. She thought for a few seconds, and in the last second before the countdown, she sang: "I just pretend I don't know, repeating day after day, even if the ending won't change..."
"Is that how it's sung?"
Jiang Tinghan only had a vague impression of her junior group's debut song "In Bloom" because she had dragged two green card holders into her music video and even helped film a segment for the debut song.
I just pray that the song doesn't switch to her again, otherwise she won't be able to think of a second song.
"Okay," Bae Soo-min, who was the most knowledgeable about K-pop in their group, passed easily. Kim Seo-hee and Wolji Anri also sang two songs. When it was Ska's turn, she got stuck.
"Oh oh oh—drink it!" The punishment was to drink the beverage or alcohol in front of her in one gulp. Of course, the alcoholic Skye had beer in front of her, and after drinking it, she felt more energetic.
The other members joked, "What kind of punishment is this? It's clearly a reward!"
[Aww, thank you so much, senior sister, for mentioning our Xiao Zhou! I never expected to hear Zhou's songs here!]
I was already quite satisfied to hear just one song, so hearing four or five was completely unexpected!
[kkk are sharing a practice room after all, and with their comeback so close, they might even be able to hear things from the practice room next door.]
[Boys' Day 2 is about to start, and Zhou will no longer be the only junior group in Lumera]
I heard your contract with Zhou is about to expire? Have you mentioned renewing it?
[…(heartbroken) (vomiting blood)]
[Talent shows are so cruel! ZB1 was doing pretty well, are they really going to disband?]
I don't know, after all, Lumera is a prime example...
[It's okay, Lumera was also a limited-time group formed through a talent show, and we've made it this far, haven't we? We all renewed our contracts before filming our first group variety show, so maybe you guys will renew yours too.]
[Haha, Skye, did you intentionally lose so you could drink? You seem to be enjoying the loss.]
Oh my, everyone else is looking at Skye with such affection. Let's hold hands and walk through life together, sisters!
【Lumera Forever!】
This time it started with Skye, who has a good relationship with Danny from Katseye, who has been doing well in Europe and America in the past two years, and sang their debut song "Debut".
Since both groups are international groups, their relationship is closer than that of other Korean groups, and they passed the test smoothly. However, Katseye only debuted last year, and after going through all the rounds, they didn't have many songs that could be named. In the end, Jiang Tinghan lost.
"Oh~" Seeing their usually invincible captain lose, the members all got excited and shouted in unison, "Drink! Drink! Drink!"
Jiang Tinghan also had beer in front of him, just like Cass, which was sponsored by the beer sponsor Cass. It is one of the best-selling beers in South Korea and has a relatively fresh and elegant taste.
Next to him was a bottle of Coca-Cola in its new Coldy packaging, showing that the spokesperson was also working hard today.
She finished the small glass of cola she had poured out, and unsurprisingly, the members chimed in, "Wow, that was easy!"
Jiang Tinghan poured himself another glass of beer, drank it all, and held up the clean bottom of the glass for them to see: "Is this okay?"
The members' attitudes changed again: "As expected of the captain!"
The discussion thread for the first issue of "Lume Time" is still buzzing with activity.
[Hahaha, so flexible and adaptable!]
[Our Cat Eyes! I still remember how shocked I was when I saw Danny and Sophia in Skye's vlog. I heard that Putuoxi and Meiyu are also good friends. Pretty girls hang out together~]
[It seems like CL isn't very familiar with female idols. Before her debut, it was Yuqi, and after her debut, it's still Yuqi, haha. CL, being a senior, is more of a teacher figure than a peer.]
Actually, there aren't that many male idols; they mostly just stay within SVT.
[She's still too busy. In the early days of her debut, she was able to make some new friends, but now that she's so popular, people might be a bit reserved if they want to be friends with her. Besides, she still has that aloof and unattainable image.]
[Actually, Koko is really funny. I recognized Hoshi in "15 Nights on a Business Trip" and never expected it to be a callback from "Nana B&B". Now it's becoming a hot meme about Hoshi all year, hahaha]
[The funniest part is that DK even called to complain, you're so mean, Lee Do-kyeon! And then there was Long Ge next to Kou-jie, Hoshi completely embarrassed himself in front of his idol. What to do, Hoshi, how are you going to salvage your image in Long Ge's eyes?]
Does Boo Seok-soon still have any image in Wolong's eyes? He probably only has the image of a fanatical fan anymore, hahaha.
[My baby made some new friends this year! Lee Won-hee, who co-hosted a music show with me before, has interacted with me a few times since then. Apparently, she's in a group that's working really hard, and she even came to me for advice when she had to sing a Chinese song. She's actually quite cute, the kind of girl that everyone likes.]
[Ahhhh, is that the girl who co-hosted Lao Long's appearance with my sister? I really feel sorry for that girl having to endure public displays of affection. Her awkward, cautious, and slightly terrified expression has been making me laugh until now...]
[Look at the mess you've made, you two! (pointing and whispering)]
[This girl was also ruined by Hibi's big marketing. Her debut song caused controversy, and her music charts were criticized, making her public image a mess. Fortunately, there was Whale's clever trick of saying "illit didn't greet us" and then, after discovering that they greeted us in the surveillance footage, saying "they didn't respect us enough," which brought her back to life.]
[Little Whale's Accusefive journey has been fraught with difficulties; the enemy of my enemy is now my friend. Let's congratulate this little Whale on his first-day debut at number five! Less than 180,000 digital downloads on the first day, not even a daily number one spot—what to do, little Whale? Just keep "working, working, working," getting covered in mud and making a beautiful downhill climb (manicure) (manicure). I told you not to compete with our Deer for fifth place; it'll only lead to misfortune.]
[My Lu Han has been back for two months and still gets 200,000 listeners daily, which is only slightly higher than my Koko's "Crazy Kingdom" comeback in January. Xiao Zha Zha also had a beautiful first day (applause) (applause). It was truly a thoroughly enjoyable dirty and useless work.]
[Lumera from the Fifth Regiment is very disappointed in you!]
[Be careful, Little Zha Zha might return in a fit of rage with four freshly made faces!]
It was Jiang Tinghan's turn to start over after losing a round. Just like her fans said, she was only familiar with male SVT and female I-DLE. She had also become an acquaintance of K-pop. She mentioned the kids on the last variety show, and this time it was her turn.
"You say, you say, this song we once sang together, I sing it alone on this night, I love you, I love you~"
Oh my, this is—
Jiang Tinghan: "Seventeen."
"Oh!" Bae Soo-min exclaimed in realization, starting with a zero-frame response, "Seven eights in the fog! (We're the center of attention!)"
A burst of uncontrollable laughter immediately erupted around them; everyone had been holding back their laughter for so long that they simply stopped trying.
Two years have passed, but the image of those two men in red leather jackets singing "Hot" with a distinctly Sichuan accent still lingers in my mind.
Jin Ruixi was still chuckling to herself when she thought for a moment, "It's like transforming into Sun Wukong, ta-da~"
He even hummed a couple of lines from the interlude.
Anri Tsukichi: "Ah, Ruixi-chan, you sang what I wanted to sing!"
She urgently searched the music library: "Darling you Darling you baby~"
Skye had a bit of a headache: "I originally wanted this one, but now I have to come up with something else—Alo Alo THUNDER alo, 'Thunder'."
Success!
"Not bad!" Teammates offered encouraging praise.
Svt lasted longer than expected, with songs like "Falling Flowers," "Maestro," and "Home"... eventually circling back to Jiang Tinghan.
"Innocent attack on Anna (don't want to cry) Sigh~" She passed this test, and her nearby teammates gasped in shock, "Are they all this good at catching? This looks like it'll be hard to finish!"
"There's nothing we can do, there are just too many hit singles."
He reluctantly took on another round, but finally got stuck on Kong Yanshu, whom he simply couldn't think of a solution for.
【Oh my dear Yeon-seo, I can't blame you for this. You've already said there are more than a dozen songs. You're such an unlucky person, how come you just happened to sit so far back?】
[How can SVT not be considered a friendly group? They know so many songs and even promoted their new song. Our Luhan is really something, I'm so happy!]
[Haha, I suspect some of them remembered the performances from award ceremonies. I watched almost every award ceremony performance from the audience in 2022, 2023, and 2024.]
[I never expected Sister Kou to sing this song. I thought she would start with zero frames like Xiao Pei.]
[Perhaps Sister Kou prefers ballads? After all, she's the kind of woman who dares to sing ballads even in important performances. Didn't "Words Can't Express My Feelings" surpass 200 million views a few days ago? It's totally worth it!]
[It should have broken 200 million views long ago! My sister is really amazing, she's always number one in viewership on talent shows, isn't "Autophagy" going to reach 250 million views already?]
[The phrase "seven eights in the fog" cracked me up. You guys are using this meme too?! Speaking of which, these two trainees who became incredibly popular online before their debut must be from the "Boy's Planet" (a popular online community for male celebrities), right? They almost became WK1's recruits again.]
[These girls' internet speeds seem to be stuck in 2023; I don't know whether to call it fast or slow.]
[That was super fast! They even sang the boys' new song "Thunder"! Ahhh, the interaction between the two groups is so much! They're my two favorite groups!]
[I suspect you guys have mind-reading abilities. How did you know I've been doing "alo alo" while doing featherweight these past few days?]
"Let's start the final round, Yanshu." Jiang Tinghan estimated that the workload was about right and began to take control of the situation.
“Yes,” Kong Yeon-seo downed a whole glass of beer with gusto, her eyes darting around, “You sang ‘Blue’ just now, right? Then I’ll sing ‘Blue’ too, winter goes and spring comes, we who are withered… Bigbang!”
Jiang Tinghan: "?"
This is because you really don't want it to end, is it?
The audience in front of the screen burst into laughter. Yeon-seo really has some nerve, daring to provoke the leader like that!
[Excellent! Sister Kong, I'm appointing you as GC's number one bodyguard! You know what the audience wants to see!]
[It's finally here! Lumera never disappoints!]
I knew I couldn't escape this! That man is 100% involved, always showing up in different ways.
[Hahaha, even at a time like this, they still have to meet the audience's expectations? They truly are a perfect girl group!]
Seeing Kou's expression—three parts confusion, three parts speechlessness, and four parts resignation—made me laugh so hard I almost fell over. Yeon-seo, I hope you see the sun tomorrow!
Bigbang has even more hit singles! Are you guys going to play until the game gets cold?!
Kong Yanshu was the last one. The next one would have to go back to Yin Zhicai. This person didn't miss any opportunity to ridicule Jiang Tinghan. The corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, but her singing was very perfunctory: "Great, great, great."
All eyes immediately turned to Jiang Tinghan, eagerly anticipating which song she would sing.
Jiang Tinghan remained calm and sang in a flat tone, "Oh, we were a mistake from the very beginning, chemi oso, chemi oso, chemi oso (boring)."
It's Bigbang's "Boring".
The teammates were amused again; their captain was expressing her dissatisfaction through song lyrics.
Even if you're dissatisfied, you have to keep playing the game.
Wow, fantastic baby!
"Loser, loner, cowardly braggart."
"Our Salanghaji Spicy Oil~"
"Glutinous rice cake, glutinous rice cake—"
"Sorry, I'm a bad boy~"
“Haru Haru gradually became numb…”
"I'm so sorry, but my love for you is like a lie..."
It's Jiang Tinghan's turn again.
"I will listen to this song with you and dance one last time. Please remember this moment forever. Just one last dance."
She sang with emotion this time, completely in tune, and her a cappella voice seemed to tremble slightly. Her originally clear voice inexplicably took on a sad hoarseness, and the ending notes fell as lightly as feathers, giving the feeling that even the most painful things could only be let go with the wind. After listening to this part, people felt that they wanted to hear more.
Jiang Tinghan sang a short section and then stopped, considerately mentioning the song title: "Last Dance".
The key word is "Last," which is another clever way to urge her to finish quickly. The drunken chicken hot pot has already been served, and it smells so good that she wants to eat it all, even though her stomach is already full of water.
[Wow, that's a really good song! It's not just a casual rendition; the quality of this song is completely different from the previous one. You can tell it was sung with seriousness.]
So, is our "Chemmy Oh So" just going to be abandoned like this? Hahaha, but I'm already quite surprised that Sister Kou can sing this song. I guess I heard it while I was digging up my husband's past.
[I can't listen to this song, damn it, I feel like crying as soon as I hear it... I used to be a fan of K-pop, and my feelings about it were really complicated. Who hasn't been a fan of the group or at least loved everything associated with it? In the end, it all turned into a mess.]
[Sister Kou must know the significance of this song. Her state of mind is different from when she sings whatever comes to mind. And the part she sings is the dragon's part. Sigh, I'm so touched, but I'm also a little teary-eyed.]
[So that Korean internet guru's analysis was spot on. Kou-jie has a very obvious sense of pity for dragons, seeing them as exquisite but seemingly fragile porcelain. In reality, porcelain is also hard.]
Hearing this song reminds me of Long before he enlisted in the army in 2017 or 2018. He was so skinny, like a stick, that he looked like Lin Daiyu and would be blown away by the wind if he took two steps. If Sister Kou had been with Long back then, she would have gone crazy.
We couldn't be together back then, because I was only sixteen or seventeen, still a minor.
[After watching GC for so long, I've started to overlook their age difference. Every time I think about the 13-year age gap between them, I'm still shocked...]
[The idols debuting now are all from 2008 and 2009; it's really to the point where Lao Nu could produce them with just a little effort.]
[Don't be like that, our G-Dragon is still having a sweet romance with Xiao Han. Although 2017 was tough and heartbreaking, seeing him so happy now heals me. G-Dragon, as long as you're happy, that's all that matters.]
Jiang Tinghan's teammates tacitly ignored her hints and persisted for another round, returning to her side. They had already sung eighteen songs and it was still not over.
Jiang Tinghan immediately retorted, "Who do you think you are, dududududududu~"
"???"
"Is this GDxi's solo song?"
"It shouldn't be considered a Bigbang song?"
The members started discussing it animatedly, and Jiang Tinghan nodded along, looking very much in agreement.
The members finally understood; this was intentional, wasn't it?
"Aigoo, Coldy, you..."
Jiang Tinghan downed the wine in the glass in one gulp, and slightly raised the corners of his lips: "Anyway, I lost. Now you can eat, right?"
The other members couldn't do anything about it: "Eat it, eat it."
[Haha, in the end, she still became the group's darling!]
[This Coldy is a master of cheating; I refuse to believe she can't sing another Big Bang song.]
[When they made a mistake at the end, they actually chose to sing a song about dragons! Oh my god, why didn't they sing a song by their teammates?]
First of all, your sister might not be able to recall many of her teammates' hit songs right now. Secondly, your sister is a pure fan, not a VIP. Her husband is the leader of Bigbang, yet your sister has only said "I'm not familiar with Bigbang" back in the distant days of auditions. In other words, your sister is only familiar with Jong, and everyone else is out of the loop.
[This is really obvious. Just look at the fan-taken videos of Yonghan at Taeyang's concert in 2024. When Yonghan was on stage, she had no expression at all. She didn't react when Taeyang sang old Korean songs, which was a stark contrast to Boo Seoksoon. She only showed expression when she was whispering to her husband. Later, when Yonghan came on stage, she became noticeably more lively and waved her light stick wildly.]
Having a sister-in-law who is also a fangirl is so reassuring!
I bet Han Jie definitely has a problem with Lao Long's teammates.
[Nonsense, for 23 years she's been running around for her brother while her teammates just pretend to be dead. Some went to parties while others didn't know what was going on. How could she not have an opinion?]
I feel like she treats her teammates like they don't exist; she doesn't interact with them and never mentions them.
[Remembering the second day of the Gaoyang show, when the three of them were on stage together, Han Jie didn't come to watch, she only watched the first day. I feel like you, Long, are very good at mediating. Judging from Han Jie's attitude, if he mentioned how good his teammates were, the two of them would probably argue. But you, Long, really care about your "good brother" of twenty years. Every time you appear, it's all about brotherly affection.]
[Old Dragon is thirty-seven this year, how could he not handle such a small matter? He's been in the industry for nineteen years, he's not just wasting his time. There's no need to mention others in their relationship. If you look at more materials, you'll know that Old Dragon and the other two don't actually get together much in private. Every time they get together, it's for Big Bang. This guy is just too sentimental. Taeyang helped him in school and he'll remember it for life. Next time, let's have Han Jie travel back to Little Dragon's time to protect you, okay? Han Jie looks like she's been clever since she was a child, she will never let you be bullied. If anything happens, go to Han Jie.]
[Long Han's campus romance is also an extremely delicious one. I still remember the campus background of "Don't Play Pranks" in Lu Han's debut album, and I still remember that "senior" that was arguably the sweetest moment for Han Jie. I've been dreaming about a campus uniform couple for a long time.]
[This is hilarious... What are GC fans fantasizing about every day? They should just make their own edits and have plenty to eat and wear. There's a dragon in a school uniform in the last episode of "Good Day," and if they also pull out Han from the "Don't Play Pranks" MV and edit them together, it'll definitely be an amazing combination.]
[What a coincidence, how did you know a wife had already cut it? — [GD×Coldy·Campus Scene Recitation | "Back then, we were young and couldn't resist the thrill of summer nights"]]
[I've finished watching it. All the elements are there! And what's with the parental intervention, the forced breakup after many years, the reconciliation, and just when they're about to be together forever, the female lead suddenly dies in a car accident? Is this how they use material from *Always You*?! And why did they use Rowling as a stand-in for the car accident scene?]
[There's no way around it, nine out of ten GC edits end in bad endings. Generally, the happier a couple is in real life, the more tragic their story will be in fanfiction.]
The meal, interspersed with games, filled a full hour, keeping the audience entertained and witty. The ending theme song felt both familiar and strange at the end. Upon closer listening, it turned out to be a rearranged version of the new song "Tomorrow's Landing." It wasn't as energetic as the original, but rather gentler. It was clear that it was a newly recorded version, and even the singers' voices sounded softer.
The first episode ended amidst laughter and joy, leaving fans extremely satisfied. For group fans, the variety show is like a home; they are finally no longer children without a home!
The second episode's restaurant exploration was still in Shanghai, while the third and fourth episodes moved to Chengdu, and then Guangzhou... Chinese cuisine was showcased to its fullest extent in the variety show. Of course, not every dish was delicious, and there are still many more food guides yet to be explored. However, every shop that Lumera filmed became a hit, and even some items that could be made into frozen foods, such as shrimp dumplings, xiaolongbao, and tangyuan, became best-selling products abroad for a time.
State media even reported on this phenomenon, giving Jiang Tinghan, one of their own, a prominent headline, while others were not mentioned much, only the group name was mentioned. At first glance, it looked like a personal report about Jiang Tinghan, which can be described as giving her a lot of attention. Of course, this is also related to the ban on Korean entertainment.
This has significantly boosted Jiang Tinghan's domestic popularity, as she hasn't returned to China to participate in any variety shows or fashion events, and has only endorsed some products. The influence of official media reports is indeed remarkable; even her parents called to praise her, making Jiang Tinghan feel incredibly confident these past two weeks.
In July, Kwon Ji-yong flew to Taipei, China, for a three-day concert. He spoke Cantonese in Macau but switched to Mandarin in Taipei. The number of times he spoke Mandarin increased dramatically, as if he wanted to show off his Chinese proficiency to his fans.
"I love you guys? Yay!" Kwon Ji-yong nodded twice, trying to appear aloof, but then his composure crumbled. He looked at the sea of daisies in front of him, his eyes sparkling, his hair soaked with sweat, like a puppy who had gone out and played wildly, getting all wet but still very excited. He shouted, "I love you guys!"
Amidst deafening cheers from the audience, Kwon Ji-yong added, "I love you all so much, forever!"
This statement drove countless Chinese fans wild overnight, all enjoying G-Dragon's unreserved declaration of love for them.
Jiang Tinghan left China and flew to Denmark because Lumera had been invited to participate in the Roskilde Music Festival in early July.
The Roskilde Music Festival is the largest and most prestigious non-profit music and cultural festival in Northern Europe. Its lineup spans rock, pop, hip-hop, electronic music, and more, and its atmosphere is extremely friendly and inclusive, like a makeshift music city.
They appear to be the first K-pop group to perform at Roskilde Music Festival, and the only one this year, so everyone was pleasantly surprised when they received the news.
If it were Glastonbury Festival, Seventeen's predecessors had already made their mark last year, and inviting them this year would have been somewhat surprising, not as shocking as it is now. Now that I've become No. 1, I still feel a sense of disbelief. Looking at their current status and popularity, being invited is only natural.
However, this is Denmark, and the guests are all European and American singers. Although Asian singers like Fujii Kaze have performed on this stage, their audience is completely different from Lumera's. Everyone is still a little worried about the reaction at the scene.
All of Lumera's performances so far have been met with enthusiastic cheers from the audience. If there's a lukewarm reception... they'll be very disappointed QAQ.
Because Lumera announced the event relatively late, not many fans had time to apply for visas, buy tickets, and book flights and hotels. In recent years, ticket prices have also risen sharply, costing three to four thousand RMB to enter, which has made some fans hesitate.
But none of this could stop Lumera from igniting the entire Roskilde Music Festival. Her live performance and her usual energetic and stunning dance moves got the audience, whether they were fans or not, going wild. Even casual passersby who came just to join in the fun screamed and waved along.
Their performances often last a full ninety minutes. Although they are not the headlining act, it is enough to make fans proud. It can be considered a mini-concert!
Lumera had never performed in Denmark before, but the number of European fans at the event was greater than Lumera had anticipated. Many people even sang along to "Wildfire." When "Ice Town," a version different from Coachella's, was performed and rearranged, many people in the audience were excitedly discussing, "Ah... is this one of their songs?"
If there are fans present, they will kindly explain: "It's the solo song of the black-haired girl standing in the middle. Her name is Coldy, and she also wrote this song."
"Oh—" The passerby suddenly realized and looked at the idol on the stage with his black hair flying and sharp eyes. His dancing strength may not be the strongest, but his rhythm is first-class. He is also the most eye-catching among the eight people.
The large screen projected a face as vibrant as a magnificent and fiery sunset, its light dazzling, while its eyes resembled the approaching deep and mysterious night, making it impossible not to be captivated by them.
A glistening bead of sweat slid down her forehead, across her nose, and the smoky eyeshadow under her eyes seemed to have smudged as well, like an oil painting soaked by rain. It was as if all the colors on her face were so intense that they flowed down with her, eventually becoming a blurry, chaotic, but pale, thin sheet of paper, like a painted-skin demon tearing open a storybook and stepping out, exuding a strong, eerie, and inhuman aura.
At this moment, the eerie, psychedelic prelude of "Swallowing Flowers," as if she had been forcibly churned a whole bottle of strong liquor, began to play. She bent over backward, her arms outstretched, like a flower in full bloom, yet unable to stop itself from shattering and withering.
Humans are ultimately visual creatures. A face that transcends all aesthetic limitations captivated everyone present, and coupled with this visually striking dance, it was hard for anyone to resist the temptation!
Some fans who chose not to attend the music festival due to their strict requirements are now regretting it terribly after seeing the performance photos circulating online. What were they thinking?! Missing such a phenomenal performance is infuriating!
Especially when I saw that amazing five-second shot of the large screen freeze-frame with the intro and the backbend, which went viral online, I was absolutely thrilled. That one shot alone was worth the price of admission!
I don't know why, but it seems that all the directors automatically get rid of their bad habit of cutting randomly when they encounter Coldy. Every stage must have at least one amazing, god-like shot.
After the Roskilde Music Festival, Lumera hasn't announced any European tour plans yet, but many Danish netizens have already left messages asking them to hold a concert in Denmark. Coldy's personal account has also received a lot of messages saying "love from Denmark." Just like that, they successfully made it to Denmark. The Danish girl group has really arrived.
Following that, Lumera participated in the Mad Cool Festival in Madrid, Spain. Although it is not the oldest festival, it is one of the fastest-growing and most well-regarded large-scale comprehensive music festivals in Europe in recent years. Dua Lipa has also performed on this stage, so Lumera also performed "All in Gold" this time.
History is repeating itself in an astonishing way. After the Mad Cool Festival, another group of Spanish netizens are demanding that the tour be held in Madrid. No matter how loud the demand is, WK1 has to think carefully. Who knows if these people are just talking nonsense? Even whether they are actually from Denmark or Madrid remains to be seen.
Undeniably, Lumera's international influence has soared once again. Their outstanding performances at internationally renowned music festivals are always highly praised and attract fans. With three consecutive music festivals causing a sensation, Lumera is now incredibly popular.
Among such wildly popular international girl groups, there is still a top-tier group that stands out from the crowd. In just six months, the situation has changed to a degree that Coda could not have imagined before. The already expensive photocards, autographed albums, and autograph sessions have seen their prices skyrocket again. Even Coda herself said, "Unnie, I feel like I can't afford to be associated with you anymore!"
I can't even imagine how high the resale prices of Lumera's concert tickets will go in the second half of the year...
GC fans were dizzy, desperate, sweating profusely, and their vision blurred... How did they manage to catch up with two phenomenal, massively popular TOPs in one go?! How could they afford to keep up with such meager resources?!
Well, I've already put up with the GD ticket price, so I'll just have to endure Lumera a little longer, even if it's tough on my wallet.
That's all for now, off to do my manual labor.
After the Madrid Music Festival, Lumera did not rush back to South Korea, but instead disbanded and took a three-day break in Madrid.
Once again, fans failed to spot Kwon Ji-yong at Incheon Airport, even though he was supposed to fly back to South Korea.
They had a premonition this time, but they still didn't dare to completely believe their guess.
Until July 15th, two days after the Taipei concert ended and one day after the Mad Cool Festival music festival ended, Real Madrid played a friendly match against AC Milan at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
Mr. G and Ms. C then appeared in the stands quite openly, one wearing a Real Madrid jersey and the other an AC Milan jersey, seemingly wanting to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the live match.
But why are you all wearing jerseys from different clubs? Do you have to be so impartial even when watching a game?
And—37-year-old G-Dragon oppa, how can you be so clingy? Can't you be a little more mature?!
Is it even human to fly there right after a concert to go on a date with your girlfriend? I'm asking you this!!!
-----------------------
Author's Note: *Baidu
The friendly match was originally scheduled for the end of July, but it was moved forward a bit. Since the location couldn't be found, it was tentatively set up at the home stadium. It's unexpected that this event, originating from the football fandom, would be mentioned in the Korean entertainment industry.
Merry Christmas, babies! Today, a dragon dressed as a Christmas reindeer is here to bring you blessings! [pat on the head][pat on the head] This little dragon is so cute for Christmas! [pity][pity]
