Chapter 124 You are the best rapper in the world.
Ye-eun really feels uncomfortable facing the president's behavior of being mean from time to time.
Money has to be made, so he won't do anything in the big picture, but he always trips her up with small details.
Like promoting the advance song a few minutes late, or giving you extra work when your schedule is already tight, neither is fatal, but it's just disgusting.
When they came back from recording the radio in the early morning, Ye-eun couldn't help but complain: "I really want to cook another meal for the president."
Everyone else couldn't help laughing, "Hey, hold it in, Ye-eun, hold it in! This is pretty deadly."
Although they were coaxing Ye-eun, they themselves were shocked by the president's magical behavior for the first time. How could someone drag their own artist to the bar to perform, and then make things difficult for them after the other party refused?
Even the youngest, Minzy, couldn’t help but complain: “The scariest thing is that they always do these things with a smile on their face.”
To outsiders, YG seems to be the best company.
Several people shook their heads, but they could do nothing about Yang Hyun Suk. After all, it was the comeback period, and they were too busy to pay attention to the president's little tricks.
On May 1, 2009, Yang Hyun-suk's personal blog YG-Life released a video revealing the contents of 2NE1's first regular album.
The album titled "To Anyone" has a pre-released song, three main songs and three non-main songs, including CL and Minzy's collaboration song, Yeun's solo "I", and Dara and Bom's solo songs released last year.
A teaser photo was also released at the same time. Chae-rin's blonde hair, Chun's red hair, Ye-eun's black and purple highlights, Sandara's light brown, and the youngest member Minzy's mullet.
And the clothes they wear are tailored for them by Prada designers.
Before the album was released, 2NE1 was already on the hot list of real-time searches.
[2NE1 Comeback]
[2NE1 Prada]
[2NE1 Style]
Ye-eun and the others sighed as they looked at the blog which was indeed released a few minutes later than the announced time. After quickly forwarding it, they found that most of YG's artists also helped with the promotion at almost the same time.
Most people simply forwarded the message, adding 21/2NE1/To Anyone at most. Only Kwon Ji-yong couldn't hide his chatterbox nature. Not only did he forward the message, he also waved Jiahu's little paw and sang a few lines from "Follow Me".
This once again confirmed the title of 2NE1's non-staff member.
Ye-eun couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and smile when she saw his updates, "It would be great if YG Family didn't have a president."
Park Sandara burst out laughing and slapped her on the back of the head, "Hey, don't say these things in front of others."
"...Of course, I'm not stupid."
There are only four days left before the official release of the first album. After being busy for several months, the group, who have even been shooting MVs in LA and New York, finally have a short break.
That afternoon, after exercising, Ye Eun thought about what Kwon Ji-yong had told her a few days ago that they were going to shoot a short drama in the next two days, and she couldn't help but join in the fun.
YG seemed to have seen the good results of the first "Secret Cohabiting Girl" and has filmed short dramas for Bigbang in the past two years.
"Mrs. Kwon and Driver Choi" and "Coffee Prince 2" both received good feedback.
Thinking that Kwon Ji-yong would refuse to have her present this time just like he did when he filmed those two short dramas, she became even more excited.
After all, in "Mrs. Kwon and Driver Choi", he not only dressed as a woman, but also had a kissing scene with TOP, and in "Coffee Prince 2", he also had a kiss with TOP Oppa in the same way.
Thinking of this, Ye-eun felt both expectant and excited. Is he wearing women's clothing again this time? After all, Ye-eun can guarantee that she has no selfish motives and can also say that his women's clothing is indeed the best-looking among the five members of Bigbang.
She took a sip of the water in her cup, and when she reached the address that Quan Zhilong, the talkative and irresistible man, had just told her, she choked.
The sky was beginning to darken, and Dasheng, who was preparing to take pictures, came out first. In an instant, behind a group of staff members, Ye Eun laughed wildly along with everyone else.
“…Cough cough cough hahahahahaha.” The depressed mood she had been feeling these days because of the president’s behavior disappeared the instant she saw Daesang Oppa with pigtails and school uniform.
The staff were originally watching Bigbang's filming while trying to hold back their laughter, but when they saw Ye-eun in sportswear, they gave her the best viewing position.
Ye-eun had never watched "Boys Over Flowers" and didn't know the specific plot very well. Seeing Kwon Ji-ryong's melancholy and cold look, she suppressed her laughter and asked in a low voice, "Who is Ji-ryong playing?"
“Long Zelei.” Seeing Ye-eun’s curious face, the staff member explained to her carefully, “We are now filming the scene where Seong-na and Long Zelei are intimate and are accidentally seen by Choi Myeong-sa.”
Yi-eun nodded in understanding, and saw Quan Zhilong take out a huge photo from his arms. Even though she was more than ten steps away, she could tell that it was her photo...
"What about me?" Ye-eun turned around in confusion and looked at the staff member in front of her who was explaining to her, "Who am I playing?"
The staff member sighed, apparently he had never watched Boys Over Flowers. He said helplessly, "You are Jing, the white moonlight of Long Ze."
Ye-eun nodded, crossing her chest with pride: "It fits the character."
The next moment, Quan Zhilong, who was still looking at the huge photo with deep affection, was attracted by a sudden roar towards the sky, "Ah! These guys, disgusting! I will destroy you!"
Yi Eun held back her laughter as she watched Kwon Ji Yong take out a handkerchief and wipe the tears from Daesung Oppa, who had no tears at all. The next second, Daesung sneezed loudly at Kwon Ji Yong.
Kwon Ji-yong's eyes unconsciously revealed disdain. Ye-eun saw him frowning and wanting to stay away from Daesang, but wanted to laugh because she was acting and trying hard to control her instinct.
And Quan Zhilong, who was in the center of the crowd, really disliked this plot. He silently said two words in his heart. He didn’t mean to say it loudly, it was just acting! However, when I thought about whether there was saliva in his sneeze, I couldn't help but think that I should go back and let this kid sweep the toilet.
He tried hard to suppress his disgust and wiped his loud "tears" with his hands, "Don't cry, it won't look good if you cry."
However, no matter how he thought that the person in front of him was Ye-eun, when he saw the face in front of him that looked even bigger because of the pigtails, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, and his hand unconsciously wiped on Daesang's clothes.
The look of disgust on their faces made Ye-eun laugh out loud. It was quite fun to watch them perform a comedy skit like this every year.
And the next moment, when she saw Quan Zhilong closing his eyes and passionately kissing Dasheng on the forehead, she laughed so hard that she squatted down.
Zhilong really dislikes Daesung Oppa's women's clothing.
Kwon Ji-yong, who had finally finished this part of the scene, just breathed a sigh of relief, but when he turned around, he saw Ye-eun squatting on the ground with a water bottle and smiling at him.
He couldn't help but hold his forehead. Didn't he tell her not to come? ?
“I’m just curious,” Ye-eun said with a smile that couldn’t be relaxed, “because your previous skits were so outstanding.”
Quan Zhilong glanced at her, sighed helplessly, took the cup from her hand and drank a sip of water, then tightened the lid and held it in his hand. "You'll be back in a few days. Why don't you take a good rest first and come out again?"
It was still dark, and Ye-eun was led by Kwon Ji-yong's hand to the underground parking garage. "Actually, I'm a little nervous."
She raised her eyes to look at Quan Zhilong, and sure enough, he turned his head and looked at her with amusement, "You are so confident during the preparation period, but you become nervous at the end. Don't you have confidence in yourself?"
Ye-eun sighed, shook Kwon Ji-yong's hand, and followed him into the car. "It's not that I don't have confidence, it's just that it's been a year since my last comeback."
Kwon Ji-yong was silent for a moment. YG’s comebacks have always been rare, and he has had a gap of nearly a year.
It’s not that I don’t have other work, but I always feel empty if I don’t release any songs.
Thinking about the fact that he had put a song specifically for his fans in his album because of the one-year gap, he suddenly understood Ye Eun's "nervousness".
That was the nervousness of facing fans whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
He smiled and turned to look at Ye-eun, "Don't worry, fans will always welcome our comebacks with the purest hearts."
The driver glanced at the two of them, then turned around and asked, "Let's go back now?"
The two were about to nod when they suddenly came over with a mask and a hat, looked at the license plate, then raised the spray paint in his hand and wrote something on the hood of the car.
The driver and the other two were stunned. He just stood in front of the car and the car couldn't move away. They could only wait silently for the man to finish writing and leave contentedly.
There were two artists in the car. The driver carefully opened the door to look, frowned when he saw the words, raised his mobile phone to take a picture of it, and then went back to the car and handed it to the two people.
Quan Zhilong took the phone and looked at the words inside without reacting. Mr. Yien was angry, "Ah Xi, is this guy crazy?"
There was a line of words written on the front of the black nanny car: "G-Dragon, the worst rapper in the world!"
The more Ye-eun looked at him, the angrier she became: "How could this person spread rumors! If someone saw this strong...raper..."
Quan Zhilong suddenly laughed, looked at the fidgeting driver and said, "Agassi, can you please see if you can wipe it off first?"
Still laughing! You're still laughing even after being slandered like this! Ye-eun really couldn't understand why there were always people in this world who had such great malice towards people they might not have even had a single contact with.
"He said you were that one!" Ye-eun crossed her arms and frowned, "No, I think this guy will definitely spread rumors online later. Should we check the surveillance?"
Quan Zhilong laughed out loud at her angry expression that made her cheeks red, "Is it possible that the person wanted to write about rappers?"
How can someone say someone else is the worst rapper? The worst rapper is reasonable, right?
"Ah?" Yien was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and looked at the words carefully, "..."
The silence diluted the anger in her heart, and she even wanted to laugh when she thought about how angry she had just been.
Quan Zhilong laughed out loud, "I'm really worried about how this person will live in the future. If he can't even write the right words when cursing, it will be hard for him to live a good life in the future, right?"
Being scolded but still worrying about the other person, Ye-eun glanced at him and muttered softly: "Don't worry about him, he was scolded anyway."
Quan Zhilong has experienced a lot of such things. Although he doesn't understand why so many people like him, so many people also hate him.
Even though they may have never met.
He was quite open to this level of insult, "I'm not really angry, I just wonder if the other party didn't go to school much, right?"
Ye-eun also nodded in agreement. Especially in a country like Korea where there are so many rappers and a lot of foreign words, it is really outrageous that rappers can't write it correctly.
The driver finally cleaned the hood with a cloth and drove the two of them to the dormitory.
Quan Zhilong glanced at the wrong word, thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "By the way, I applied to the school to change my major."
"Eh?" Ye-eun looked at him in confusion, "Why did you suddenly change your major?"
After taking the college entrance exam, Kwon Ji-yong was interviewed and admitted to the Department of Postmodern Music at Kyung Hee University. However, due to his busy schedule in the first two years, his attendance rate was too low. He had to either delay graduation or choose another major with lower attendance requirements.
He lowered his head and opened his phone. He retweeted Ye-eun's latest update on Twitter and said nonchalantly, "Your attendance rate is not good enough. If you want to continue studying in the future, you can try to take the master's degree in music."
Yien glanced at his phone and didn't mind that he always used a small account to repost his updates recently. She thought so too. He was indeed very busy in the past two years. Even though the university has lowered the attendance requirements for artists, it is still difficult for them to meet the requirements.
For a moment, Ye-eun was a little worried about her attendance rate. Even though the school has put artists like them and some students with special circumstances together for concentrated classes during various holidays, where do artists get holidays?
She sighed, thinking of the recent discussion caused by the fake academic qualifications of the director of the Seoul Museum of Art, and was a little afraid that Kwon Ji-yong would also be affected.
But she changed her mind and realized that although his attendance rate was low, he did get in through the college entrance examination, so there was no reason to be scolded.
And the most important thing now is their return. She held Quan Zhilong's hand, her eyes curved, "Although he wrote it wrong, I still want to tell you that in my heart you are the best rapper in the world."
Quan Zhilong was stunned for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth, "Yes."
On May 5, the audio source of "To Anyone" was officially launched on various platforms, and pre-sales of the physical album also began. The three main songs were naturally the first to cause heated discussions, and in addition to the three main songs, everyone soon discovered that the lyrics, composition and arrangement of Ye-eun's solo song "I" were all written by Kwon Ji-yong.
G-Dragon stands out among a row of signatures that are almost all Teddy's. This time even his fans have to admit that no matter how hard they try, the relationship between these two is a foregone conclusion.
On that day, the three title songs successfully entered the top three of the daily chart, while "Pain", Ye Eun's solo song "I" and Park Bom's "You and I" also entered the top ten of the daily chart.
Out of ten songs, six entered the top ten, and even the remaining four entered the top twenty. The music results made everyone feel relieved, and they were full of confidence when they went to promote their songs on "Inkigayo".
This time they have three main songs, and all three of them need to be played. At the same time, because of Prada's clothing sponsorship and Samsung's consistent financial sponsorship, their stage performance this time is also extremely gorgeous.
