Chapter 130 When you are deified, someone will try to pull you down from the altar
SBS Inkigayo, Underground Elevator.
Quan Zhilong held the microphone with his hands crossed in front of him, and his golden hair fell to his ears as he moved. He looked at his hands and took a deep breath.
On the middle finger of his left hand was a red rose-shaped ring, and on the ring finger of his right hand was a black skeleton-shaped ring. These two colors that had filled his life since childhood made him feel calm again in an instant.
The two colors that had almost filled his life since childhood appeared in his eyes, and Quan Zhilong curled the corners of his mouth. When the background music introducing him appeared on the stage, the lifting platform slowly rose.
The stage design this time was very special. Kwon Ji-yong had already gone on stage but the audience hadn't noticed yet.
They looked curiously at the spinning apple in the middle of the stage. It was surrounded by holes, just like the apple that was "shot" in GD's album.
It’s just that the material of this apple is strange. It doesn’t look like metal, but under the stage lights, it has a metallic luster.
The stage was completely black except for the apple. When the apple rotated to a certain angle, an audience member keenly noticed through the small hole that there was someone inside!
The venue was almost full of fans holding crown lights, and they all waved the crown lights and started screaming at the same time.
Sure enough, "Hey you! Finally, Is this what you've been waiting for?" GD's iconic voice came out from the huge apple.
The screams almost echoed throughout the entire SBS building, "Brand new GD!"
When GD called out his name himself, there was a moment of silence at the scene, but the next second "Heartbreaker" sounded.
The apple made of a special curtain was scattered on the ground, the stage lights came on, and the atmosphere became even more heated when all the audience saw G-Dragon facing them with his hands spread out.
The action I saw was like the return of the king. The VIPs waved the crown lights, their eyes were even a little moist. It’s been a year since we last met, GD.
Four masked dancers stood around him as he walked forward, their almost pyramid-shaped stance making GD in the middle stand out even more.
"I will not surrender. The most important thing is not dead yet."
GD's iconic voice, golden hair, and sharp eyes all made fans smile. He danced seemingly simple dance moves, but the free and easy feeling he exuded was overwhelming.
That is something no one can learn.
No, the Vip present suddenly remembered that the girl who grew up with him and danced with him one day had a dancing sense that was ridiculously similar to his.
The simple shaking of hands and changing of feet have his own unique flavor. VIPs waved crown lights to cheer him on and imitated his sticky pronunciation at the end of each sentence of GD.
Kwon Ji-yong on the stage couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. When fans shouted "H, E, A, R, T" word by word with him, he even began to tremble all over. The excitement of not standing on the stage for nearly a year made his eyes full of desire.
When the music stopped, only the fans' final shout of "we are VIP" remained. He turned his head slightly with his back to the audience and raised his right hand to make a "yeah" gesture.
It’s such a cool song, and the ending pose is so cute, coupled with the smirk on his face that he couldn’t hide at all, made the fans scream again.
Kwon Ji-yong instantly straightened the corners of his mouth and changed from Kwon Ji-yong to G-Dragon.
The second song he returned to the stage was "Breathe". After the first performance, he was actually completely excited. After changing into her stage costume, she went on stage again, lying on the white bed, with the stage lights from above shining down on her like a dream.
Intense and anxious drum beats began to sound, and the white bed began to turn.
"I can't breathe." He curled his lips, listened to the cheers of fans, and just lay there singing the beginning of the song.
Until the drum beats gradually became heavier, he sat up from the bed. Different from the explosive power of "Heartbreaker", "Breathe" gave people a psychedelic feeling.
The music videos of the two songs are almost connected, and fans screamed as they remembered the music videos they had seen.
In "Heartbreaker", she cheated on her own man in her dream, but in "Breathe", she finally got the person she loved.
When GD rolled over the dancer like in the MV and sang in her ear "Your hand that called me came to my bedside silently", almost everyone at the scene clenched their fists, screamed and their ears turned red.
GDxi, isn’t it too bold of you to sing in this way and design the stage?
How could a male idol dare to dance like this on stage?
However, Quan Zhilong has always been a maverick. He smiled slightly, stood among four dancers wearing masks and began to dance. Behind the white curtain behind him, there were more than a dozen dancers struggling forward as if they wanted to break through the dream.
Quan Zhilong sang more and more excitedly as he listened to the fans' cheers. Even though his face was covered in sweat because of the bright lights on the stage, he couldn't help but let out an "Awooo" while holding up the microphone in the middle of the interlude, and after jogging two steps, he quickly ran back to his position.
The dancers were all shocked for a moment. This guy was really having fun. Fortunately, he regained his senses and the dancers all breathed a sigh of relief.
This is a comeback stage, not a concert! Quan Zhilong couldn't help but bend his eyes, revealing his white teeth, reminding himself that he had to come according to the rehearsal schedule, GD xi!
The roar that was both domineering and coquettish made the fans laugh. While cheering in unison, they couldn't help but curl their lips along with the boys on the stage.
The fans' "favor" made him smile again. He ran from the center of the stage to the right, took off his hat and threw it into the audience. Amidst huge screams, he ran to the center of the stage again.
When he reached the center, Kwon Ji-yong couldn't help but jump up, and almost turned around in the air, which made fans wave their crown lights and scream.
His adrenaline started to surge due to the excitement. He acted cool and couldn't help laughing. His fans also cheered and listened along with his actions.
Ye-eun, who was watching the live broadcast, had smiles in her eyes. When she saw the final ending pose and put down her hands that were covering her face, she could see the smile on his gums. She couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.
This is totally a great time on stage. Yes, he has hardly been on stage since the end of last year, so it’s exciting no matter how you think about it.
The screen had turned to the MC, and the person she wanted to see was not there. She checked her phone and found out from the news that the number of viewers for this episode of Inkigayo's live broadcast had exploded.
Kwon Ji-yong was still very excited when he returned to the backstage interview area. The stage he hadn't been on for a long time, the crown lights, the fans, and their cheers and screams all made him feel incomparable happiness.
The MCs are two juniors who debuted later than him. In fact, he served as a substitute MC for two episodes in the first two years after his debut, so he is already familiar with the process.
"GD senior, how do you feel about this solo comeback?" the other party asked while holding up the microphone.
Quan Zhilong thought for a moment, "Because I was always accompanied by other members before, it felt a little strange to be on the stage by myself this time, but I was also very excited."
“Hey, Taeyang and Yeunxi, who are from the same company as GD, also won first place after performing their solo stages on our Inkigayo.” The MC smiled and continued asking while looking at the cue card.
Quan Zhilong smiled and touched the rose ring on his left hand unconsciously, "Inside."
One of the MCs took a look at the ring. The ring was so big that it almost covered three of GD senior's fingers. The material was special and it looked like dried rose petals were sealed inside with crystals.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the senior was indeed a fashion idol, even a decorative ring was so unique.
Kwon Ji Yong didn't know what he was thinking, as he listened to another MC ask, "GD senior, is there anything you want to share with everyone about this comeback? Or are there any expectations?"
"Everything I want to say is in my songs." Kwon Ji-yong curled the corners of his mouth slightly. He is actually not the type who can talk much in front of outsiders. Even when he is embarrassed, he wants to make 800 movements in a minute, but everything he wants to express will be put in his songs.
Thinking about the recent controversy surrounding him, he said seriously: "I just hope that my fans can be happy and enjoy my performance."
The two MCs could hear the sincerity in his tone and paused for a second before continuing to bow and say goodbye to him according to the script.
Quan Zhilong also bowed to them with a smile, not losing his manners just because they were his juniors.
His album was a huge hit this time, and he was almost the last one to perform on the stage to promote his song. After returning to the backstage, he was notified by the staff within a few minutes to go on stage and announce the first place.
He looked up at the big screen in front of him. At the same time, the candidate who entered was T-ara, a new girl group that had just debuted. He knew about this group because Ye Eun told him with shock on her face that the group's debut song was also called "Lies".
Thinking of Ye-eun, he couldn't help but curl his lips again. Looking at the score bar on the big screen, he saw that his score in the first category, sound source, had already surpassed the juniors around him by a large margin. Quan Zhilong vaguely heard their disappointed sighs.
When the score reached a level that was almost the highest ever recorded on this show, all the artists took a deep breath, but Kwon Ji-yong calmly took the trophy from the MC's hand.
In his heart, the excitement of getting the first place was far less joyful than the screams of the fans just now.
Just thinking that this was also the result of the fans' hard work, he couldn't help but smile, "Thank you to every fan, and also thank you to every colleague who promoted and supported me."
When he talked about his colleagues, a smile appeared in his eyes. He glanced at the trophy in his hand and finally said softly: "Also, thank you for your company over the years."
The sound at the scene paused for a moment. Although they were different artists, they pursed their lips in the same way as last time when Ye-eun got a chance to say "thank you my producer", and a gossipy look began to appear in their eyes.
The audience was also silent for a second, and then screamed again.
Who doesn’t know who “grew up together all these years”?
Even though Quan Zhilong's only fan at the scene pursed his lips, he still sighed in the end. At least he didn't mention the name directly, right!
Fans have always been good at comforting themselves. A few seconds later, the music of the encore stage sounded, and they once again held up the crown lights and started cheering.
A few hours later, Ye-eun glanced at the message on her phone, tiptoed to the living room and opened the door.
The lights in the corridor were on. Quan Zhilong, who had already changed from his stage costume into his regular clothes, held up the trophy and smiled proudly at her: "Here, the first place trophy as promised, here it is."
The person who always acts cool on stage is actually so proud in private. Ye Eun's eyes curved, and she took the trophy from his hand and was about to speak, but he hugged her in his arms and said, "GD is back."
Ye-eun nodded vigorously, "Yes! GD is back!"
And it was from this first place that Kwon Ji-yong won all the first places in the music programs he participated in. This week, Inkigayo created the highest ratings in 5 years, and a week later, it reached the highest score in the history of Music Bank with 21,322 points.
A solo singer broke the highest score of all groups, and the almost impossible task actually happened.
Ye-eun was checking out the concert venue with everyone in Incheon when she heard the news. Because it was their first concert, they were very cautious and even went to each city's reserved venues to check out the venues on site, just hoping to give Blackjack a perfect concert.
South Korea has a well-developed entertainment industry, but there are not many performance venues to choose from, and most of them are concentrated in Seoul. This time, YG chose Incheon as the first stop of their "To Anyone" concert.
CL carefully took a photo of the main stage of the stadium, and then took them to the audience seats to look. She crossed out all the parts of the audience whose view was blocked.
In order to make money, the company will naturally choose to sell all the seats, and artists like Bigbang and 2NE1 who have a certain say can also strive to give fans the best experience.
Thinking about the fact that their senior group Bigbang’s concert was praised as the most worth-seeing concert in Korea, the five members of 2NE1 also felt a desire to win, and their concert couldn’t be bad either!
The stadium that can only accommodate 6,000 people doesn't look big, but after walking through almost every corner of the concert venue and discussing precautions with the staff in her mind, Ye Eun couldn't help yawning when she returned to the hotel.
When she took out her cell phone to say good night to Quan Zhilong as usual, she saw a news interface pop up directly.
"G-Dragon, the Korean music genius who relied on plagiarism, is far from being as 'talented' as his lyrics say."
Ye-eun frowned and clicked on it. She didn't know the person who wrote the news. The headline had already accused Kwon Ji-yong of "plagiarism", but the language in the main text when comparing and analyzing Kwon Ji-yong's "Heartbreaker" and Flo Rida's "Right round" was extremely vague.
Seeing that the other party finally got the answer of "cannot be confirmed of plagiarism", Yien laughed at the title of the reporter.
As expected, he is a journalist who studied journalism.
The news that pops up on its own should be the current hot topic...
She clicked into the comment section and found that many netizens had not even read the main content of the article, but had already started venting their emotions based on the title of the article.
Some of the words were almost unbearable to read, and some even began to speculate whether Bigbang's previous songs were suspected of plagiarism.
The influence of his album is so great that Ye-eun has deeply experienced it. While some people are worshipping Kwon Ji-yong as a god, some people also want to pull him down from the altar and step on him under their feet.
The complexity of human nature is vividly reflected on the Internet. Yien frowned and exited the news interface, trying to call Kwon Ji-yong calmly.
The call was picked up almost immediately, but the other party didn't speak first.
"Zhilong!" She raised her lips and said in a relaxed tone, "Oh, I heard that you broke the highest score of Music Bank since its launch. What a great success!"
Hearing her voice, Quan Zhilong seemed to smile, but the laughter was barely detectable: "What's the matter? I'm envious. You have to work hard."
Yien said, "Tsk, be careful. If I really get broken, you can't act like a spoiled child with me."
Quan Zhilong's mouth curled up, and his hand stopped sliding the computer interface. He looked at the comment "Why didn't that person's mother have an abortion?" and said with a smile: "Well, no spoiled. When will you come back?"
He propped his chin up as he looked at the comment, it seemed that netizens had discovered that directly posting "Ye-Eun", "GD" and various malicious comments in the comments would be reported quickly, and they have now learned to use various references.
Kwon Ji-yong was not very sad when he was accused of plagiarism because he knew he had not done it. However, when he saw this sentence, he suddenly felt a little sad.
Why are they always so malicious? He didn't do anything, did he? Probably, no...
"...What's wrong?" Yien pursed her lips and couldn't smile anymore. His tone was calm, but she instantly felt his hidden emotions.
When she heard him whisper, "It's nothing, I just suddenly missed you," Yien's eyes suddenly became moist. However, she did not mention the news on the Internet, but just whispered to him, "How much do you miss me?"
Quan Zhilong smiled and said, "A little bit."
However, two seconds later, his voice came again, "I missed you so much."
