Chapter 62 Daily Life of Pampering Fans (Bonus Chapter at 17,000 words) Forum Style | ...
Happy birthday, Oppa!
[She hasn't changed at all; she still has that familiar shyness.]
Ah, those are shorts! This outfit is so sexy!
【Chaga, this background music was also composed by Oppa himself! I can't recognize the song, is it another new song?】
[It seems so, such a melancholic melody, it makes my heart feel empty just listening to it.]
[KKK Oppa, is such a sad melody really appropriate for your birthday?]
【Ahhh, all they do is release a new song to tempt us! I love this melody so much! They've already released three different melodies, but they still haven't released a single song. When will our GDxi's comeback that he said at the beginning of the year finally arrive?】
My friends seem to be having a lot of fun in the video, but there are two cakes this year!
[It's so nice that G-Dragon has friends to keep him company even when he's not in the spotlight.]
[Damn it, I was really looking forward to it being August 18th, but now it's August 19th and there's still no news. Oh no, it's just that there are another ten seconds of suspenseful music.]
This time, even the lyrics are gone, leaving no chance for analysis. What a cruel man.
[New album, new album, new album! If it doesn't come out soon, it won't be until the second half of the year! There are only four months left until 2024. I've really waited eight months, please don't play games with me, dear GD!]
[KKK releasing clips is a kind of work report, proving he's been working. No, you kids, did you hear that? GD has been writing songs all along!]
This is a song with a very cold feel to it, quite different from 7 Hours. That song only has instrumental sounds, but this one has quite noticeable synthesizer effects. Just listening to the melody gives it a strong narrative feel.
[Is there rap in it?! The melody seems perfect for a low-key rap! I love it so much! I can't wait!]
[Aigoo, our G-Dragon really knows what we like to listen to! So far, he's given us two ballads and one sweet song, all my favorite styles!]
[Two songs about heartbreak and one about being in love, it seems GD has quite a rich love life, it looks like he's had many breakups and reconciliations.]
GD's necklace is almost as dazzling as his face; did he wear two on purpose?
Is it GD style and GD fashion again?
[The necklace looks great with the black top. It's amazing how a man who's just casually dressed at home in a bathrobe and shorts, even with a headband, would deliberately wear two glamorous diamond necklaces. It's a bit of GD's magical persistence, but he looks completely like Moshida!]
Is it a gift from someone very important to Oppa? That's why you wear it all the time.
[kkk No way, he could have as many necklaces like that as he wanted. He could just grab two from his jewelry cabinet.]
[No, this is a Van Cleef & Arpels necklace, right? I have the same one, but I've never seen G-Dragon wear Van Cleef & Arpels. I guess he doesn't like the brand. I've seen him wear brands like Pomellato, Les Deutsche Bahn, Buccellati, Cartier, Heart of Chrome, and Pochelon. There are many niche jewelry brands, but I've rarely seen Van Cleef & Arpels.]
[He suddenly appeared wearing jewelry from a brand he'd never worn before... suspicious. Maybe it really was a gift, like from his sister-in-law.]
[Michu search? Does this mean he gets a girlfriend every time he wears a new brand? These all seem to be women's items, so it looks like he bought them himself.]
These are all classic styles; finally, I can own the same ones!
Even the classic models aren't cheap, right? GD's fans are all so rich! Why can't I be one of them?!
Jiang Tinghan rested for another day after returning home. She didn't want to work at all, but she also didn't want to close her eyes, because as soon as she did, all those shameful memories seemed to rush back to her.
Is it really human to deliberately sing a birthday song during intimate contact? And then there are the inexplicable, spontaneous tears. He's clearly faking it, but his actions don't stop. What he says and what he does are completely different. Jiang Tinghan is practically being driven crazy by him.
Her memory became very blurry. She only remembered that the bottle of 818 liquor was spilled, with only the bottom left. She also remembered asking Kwon Ji-yong why he would keep such a thing at home, and he shamelessly said that he had prepared it for today. Then the smell, clothes, bed, hair... everything was a mess.
Had she been coaxed into calling him anything...? Jiang Tinghan curled up on her dorm bed, facing the wall in repentance, wishing she could bang her head against it, but even that couldn't bring her back to reality from last night. It seemed...
Husband? I can't remember, or...daddy?
Ah... I don't know, I don't know, I don't know! This is insane...
She only remembered seeing Kwon Ji-yong's eyes in a hazy way; the area around them was black, while the center was lighter, like a lake filled with honey, tempting people to become addicted and fall into depravity. In the end, she obediently listened to everything he said; she was truly out of her mind.
Jiang Tinghan decided that she wouldn't step into Quan Zhilong's house for the next month.
This man is really dangerous.
After a day of rest, she resumed her promotional activities and music show appearances. Each of her music show performances garnered impressive viewership, typically surpassing ten million views within just two or three days, making her a true streaming queen.
Back then, her individual fancam for "The Wave" had already surpassed 50 million views, almost keeping pace with the growth rate of her group's music show performances.
Challenge, a K-pop specialty, is also indispensable.
Jiang Tinghan filmed a chapter with Epik High for "Always You". The three uncles wore the classic black and white impermanence outfits from the MV and danced with Jiang Tinghan, doubling the comedic effect. The chapter has already received over ten million likes.
Unfortunately, several of SVT's seniors are currently on overseas tours and it's not possible to film a chapter with them for the time being. However, WK1 has found many idols to film chapters, and Jiang Tinghan has gotten to know fellow idols such as Yoo Jimin and Ning Yizhuo from aespa, Choi Ranjun from TXT, Kang Daniel and Kang Hae-rin from Newjeans, Oh Hae-won and Seol-yoon from Nmixx, and so on. They filmed so much that they lost track of time. Fortunately, each chapter received several million likes, which comforted Jiang Tinghan's heart, which was obsessed with trending topics.
Of course, her beloved Yuqi unnie and Zhang Hao and Shen Quanrui, who played the male lead in the MV, also filmed a cha, which received an even more enthusiastic response. The number of likes was second only to the version with Epik High, reaching seven or eight million.
Fans have become somewhat disdainful of counting how many videos have surpassed a million likes; they should be asking how many of Coldy's videos haven't reached a million. But unfortunately, every video featuring her has surpassed a million likes—it's incredibly easy for her.
After Xiao Shiqi returned to South Korea, Jiang Tinghan filmed a challenge with DK, Wen Junhui, and Li Can. Now DK is a regular guest on her challenge. Their open and generous interactions have won over many fans, who call each other "brother" and "sister" enthusiastically. The two even address each other as "oppa" and "sister" in the comments section.
It's quite surprising that Coldy has dated so many hybein celebrities.
[After all, it's a mutually beneficial situation. Coldy is incredibly popular right now; eight songs from one album are on the Billboard charts. I think it would be normal for one song like "Hate" or "Prayer" to be on the charts, but for eight songs to be on the charts shows how much they really love Coldy.]
What's even more shocking is that "Always You" made it into the top ten and "Always Me" into the top twenty. Westerners are absolutely smitten with Coldy, supporting him even if it's not their preferred style.
[Our Coldy is really amazing! His solo songs have won so many number one spots, and he's even competing against himself! "Always You" is going head-to-head with "Hate," "Always You," "Singing," and "No Way."]
Kids, your new music chart buzzer is here! You'll need to keep an eye out for when Coldy and Lumera are making a comeback.
This is truly the fastest-rising group and idol group I've ever followed. Their talent deserves to be incredibly successful!
These choreography examples made me realize how difficult the choreography for Coldy's song is. It's not something everyone can pull off. But a senior artist is a senior artist; even when dancing to a girl group song, it looks amazing.
[Yuqi and Coldy, may your friendship last forever! I always feel so happy watching your interactions; it's like the sun and the moon are both shining at the same time!]
Seeing the two male leads in the music video, I feel both sad and furious at the same time. I feel like I'm going to have a mental breakdown.
Me too. On one hand, I think of the memoir of the deceased wife in "AY," and on the other hand, I think of how Coldy was in pain in "Hate." Sister, you mustn't fall in love with a man who looks like a complete scumbag!
[kkkRicky is completely innocent; don't judge a book by its cover!]
[kkk In the end, will DK bring the entire SVT raid over to him so his brothers can come and keep him company while he spoils his sister?]
[Isn't someone from SVT facing a lot of negative publicity lately? Is this an attempt to divert attention?]
Ah... that romance? I've heard about it, but I don't know if it's true or not. But there's no need to speculate about a conspiracy, right? This whole thing doesn't seem to be related to shifting the focus of attention.
What I find most admirable is that Coldy is always so natural and confident when interacting with both male and female idols. I really dislike awkward and shy interactions; it's perfectly fine to just openly and confidently showcase your charm.
Being a fan site admin for Coldy must be incredibly rewarding. He's universally acknowledged for his stunning beauty; every look he sports is gorgeous, captivating everyone's attention. Is this a sign of being a born idol?
[I've noticed that DK really likes to raise his hands at the end to show off, like saying, "When someone says no one in this world is perfect, I—", as if he wants the whole world to see how beautiful his sister is.]
Actually, the brother-sister relationship is quite sweet too.
To be honest, I've been shipping them for a while now.
[I actually find the two from zb1 quite likable. I was already shipping them after watching the MV. They're a really pleasing couple to the eye. Those who love sad endings are in luck. They have pure love and pure hate, satisfying all your fantasies at once.]
Coldy's versatility in finding suitable partners is working again.
Do you understand that you're only allowed to ship your idols with same-sex couples, not opposite-sex couples? Stop shipping them, you'll ruin your brain!
[Coldy's cha is still as interactive and unique as ever, and also so wicked lol. He filmed "No Way" with Aespa and "Loneliness" with Nmixx, becoming the first to go all out with such close proximity.]
【"No Way" is so smooth it feels like it's an Aespa song. Thank you for this cha, which showed me that "No Way" also has choreography.】
[Newjeans and Aespa are really feuding with Lumera, right? It's a classic case of fans fighting like crazy, while the celebrities themselves are all getting along well.]
[kkk You can tell it's the first time they've met. Coldy's video style is quite different when he's filming with acquaintances and strangers. He's much more creative with acquaintances, but he's still quite pleasing to the eye.]
After Jiang Tinghan released her solo album, the company also opened a Douyin account for Lumera. As the only Chinese member of the group, Jiang Tinghan also opened a Weibo account. Currently, the former has just surpassed three million followers, while the latter has two million. Compared to Jiang Tinghan's 30 million Instagram followers, it is indeed a bit meager, but after all, it's just the beginning.
Jiang Tinghan has been quite active lately. She usually posts photos on Instagram and also posts them on Weibo. Sometimes, there are one or two different photos on both platforms, which can be considered a special edition. Chinese fans are already very skilled at using VPNs to access the internet, but foreign fans still have to come to Weibo to see Coldy's new photos. Foreign language comments occasionally appear in the comment section.
Chinese fans jokingly refer to it as "reverse PUA".
In September, Jiang Tinghan released a cover of a Chinese song on Douyin, Khalil Fong's "Love Love Love". Her cool and unique voice has a special texture when singing R&B. The song has difficult vocal transitions and is a song that fully showcases vocal strength.
"Having read about people waiting in novels, I've become more accustomed to waiting; having sung about other people's love, I yearn to find love even more."
"You shout it out, I calm down, all for love, love, love."
"If one day I open the dictionary and can't find love, the flowers won't bloom, the trees won't sway, but I'll still feel more carefree."
"I still hope for love, and I still feel too lonely and defeated."
"I love, therefore I am."
"Without understanding, without distinguishing right from wrong, all for love, love, love."
On the day the song was released, the official Douyin account gained 500,000 new followers.
[Ahhh, it's a Chinese song! Coldy's second Chinese song! I loved his previous one, "Words Don't Express My Feelings"!]
Singing Chinese songs really makes a difference! It's always family who pamper family. Who else would spoil us like this if not Coldy?
[Both fans are ecstatic! Coldy, you're absolutely amazing! I tried singing this song at karaoke and I almost ran out of breath before I could finish it!]
My sister sang "Love Love Love" for us, which means she's full of love for us! The lyrics are all about "love," and I especially love the line "I love, therefore I am."
[It sounds so good! Coldy's voice is a world treasure, her minty voice is amazing, it's perfect for R&B! I love you so much, sister!]
[Although my sister already has many videos with over 10 million likes, dating back to her talent show days, let's give her another one! It's a special gift for her Chinese fans!]
Did you see the video description? It says I'll be posting more Chinese song practice videos in the future, sisters, our good days are coming (crying) (crying) (crying)
[Awesome! Coldy almost never breaks a promise, he really does what he says. I can't even imagine how good the food we're going to eat!]
September passed by in such busy days, because Lumera would be making a comeback in October or November with another full-length album, so Jiang Tinghan didn't have much time to rest.
At the same time, Jiang Tinghan also received an invitation to Paradise City's Art Night event, a high-profile art and fashion social event hosted by Paradise City, a well-known integrated resort in Incheon, South Korea, which combines contemporary art, music performances and collectible auctions, and gathers a host of stars.
The more Jiang Tinghan read the introduction, the more subtle it seemed, as if someone's shadow was hidden between the lines.
Search.
OK, the first person tagged in the official announcement was xxxibgdrgn.
She and Kwon Ji-yong will meet at the same official event.
Wow.
