Chapter 133 Let's solve them one by one
"Boss, have you seen the news online?"
He was almost dragged by Ye-eun all the way. When he entered the president's office, Kwon Ji-yong held his forehead helplessly. Even the sadness of his song being listed as a publication harmful to teenagers by the government was diluted a little.
Ye-eun has such a fiery personality...
Yang Hyun Suk also frowned and looked at the two of them, "I saw it, but there's nothing we can do about it..."
"There's nothing we can do about Korean Dream. Can you please clarify the rumors about our academic qualifications and Ji-yong's plagiarism?" Ye-eun looked back with a frown.
Yang Hyun Suk originally wanted to use the plagiarism issue to "discuss" something with Zhilong, and he also sighed. Now that the government has taken action, all his plans have been disrupted.
How could he go against the government during this period? Yang Hyun Suk shook his head and said, "I will ask the TV station to cut out Bigbang's part of the Dream Concert today because their performance was not perfect."
Quan Zhilong curled the corners of his mouth, and a strong sense of absurdity and loss filled his heart.
The president meant to take a cold approach to the situation, and even began to make concessions on his own initiative in order to please the authorities.
Well, how could a charity dream concert allow a singer who has been labeled as "a threat to teenagers" to appear on the show?
At this moment, the reliance on the kindness that the president had occasionally shown me in my heart collapsed.
The president who occasionally gave them pocket money on their birthdays and took them out for dinner was actually the one who gave them oxygen in the practice room.
He lowered his head, feeling somewhat relieved. Well, from now on, the relationship between Bigbang and the president is purely one of interests.
Ye-eun took a deep breath and tried to calm her confused mind: "President-nim, do you remember your time with Seo Taiji and Kids?"
Yang Hyun-suk was stunned for a moment and leaned back in his seat.
That period could be said to be his most glorious but also his most painful period. As the first generation of break dancers in Korea, he would occasionally wonder if he was just a backup dancer on stage.
However, the enthusiastic cheers from the fans made him feel that he was indeed standing on a high place.
Quan Zhilong was also stunned for a moment, and instantly thought of why the group disbanded...
"President, weren't you also the group that was criticized by the official National Daily as "medieval witch hunting" for playing rock music?" Ye-eun looked straight at Yang Hyun-suk, let go of Kwon Ji-yong's hand, and slammed both hands on Yang Hyun-suk's desk, looking at Yang Hyun-suk fiercely, "But didn't Seo Taiji senior also persevere?"
Under official suppression, he persisted year after year. Although it ended in failure in the end, no one can deny that it was Seo Taiji who introduced hip-hop to the Korean people and even led the trend of the entire Korea.
Hearing Ye-eun's words, Yang Hyun-suk fell into memories and didn't even notice that the other party only mentioned Seo Taiji and not the children.
Zhilong's situation is so similar to theirs back then. In the last year, they even challenged the Performance Ethics Committee and directly released lyrics that were officially deemed inappropriate.
In the end, it disbanded.
He raised his eyes to look at the two children. The struggle in their eyes reminded him of his twenty-year-old self who was running rampant. But, "Persist, and then what? Yeen, I know how you feel, but this is just a useless persistence."
As he spoke, tears actually welled up in Yang Hyun Suk's eyes. It was unclear whether it was for his own high-spirited youth or for Kwon Ji Yong who was being treated the same way now.
Seeing his tears, Yien curled her lips and her eyes began to show fire. It was Seo Taiji's senior who insisted on resisting the authorities. Why is this coward shedding crocodile tears?
She stood up and looked seriously at the president who was still immersed in his memories, "President, do you know? Because of this, you can only be one of the kids and can never become 'Seo Taiji'."
Kwon Ji-yong sighed, looked at Yang Hyun-suk whose eyes were beginning to glow with anger, and took Ye-eun's hand. Unexpectedly, she continued talking after holding his hand tightly.
"Even you, President, had a falling out with Seo Taiji a few years ago, right? It's really funny. Others started out as warriors and became dragons, but you, President, became a member of the dragons without even being a warrior." Ye Eun laughed sarcastically.
Her words instantly irritated Yang Hyun Suk, who had always been full of anger and inferiority because of the "children". Even though he had been scolded by Ye Eun countless times before, this time he stood up angrily for the first time and threw the ashtray at her directly: "Lee Ye Eun! Don't go too far!"
"Hiss." Yien's hand was pulled violently by Quan Zhilong, and her steps staggered, and her vision suddenly darkened.
It was Quan Zhilong who pulled her behind him and avoided the ashtray.
Quan Zhilong glanced at the red marks on his hands and looked at Yang Hyun Suk calmly: "President, we don't expect the company to do anything, but we hope that the company will not hold us back in what we have to do."
"The benefits I can bring to the company should be greater than the harm I can cause." He smiled bitterly. Thinking of the comments on the Internet that almost made him feel painful, Quan Zhilong felt depressed and his tone became tough, "I will handle these things myself."
The first time Yang Hyun Suk saw Zhilong looking at him with such a sharp gaze, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He felt uneasy as if everything was out of his control.
He couldn't help but say, "Just keep quiet for a year! Wait until the midterm elections..."
Meeting the two people's surprised gazes, he suddenly shut his mouth. He knew that politics and entertainment should not be mixed together, but he longed for the taste of power.
Quan Zhilong looked at the president who was becoming more and more unfamiliar to him. It turned out that there were monsters even bigger than elephants, so elephants... were actually ants in another sense.
And it turns out... the president thinks being scolded for a year is actually nothing, right?
"Genius? A plagiarizing genius, right?"
"Speechless. I don't know how many awards he has stolen over the years..."
"Sure enough, I should have advised his mother to have an abortion while he was still in the womb."
"Go to hell."
"kkk I feel relieved when I see that everyone hates him."
“I still don’t understand why so many people like him.”
"Since so many people hate me, I might as well commit suicide."
It turns out that those remarks that made him feel suffocated were nothing in the eyes of the president. Could it be that this level of rumor-mongering and abuse also contains the "love and care" that the president mentioned?
He suddenly smiled and touched the red marks on his hands: "President, even if I can't become a chess player, I don't want to be a chess piece."
After saying this, he took Yien's hand and left.
Yang Hyun Suk looked at the two people's backs and suddenly felt a little dazed.
Zhilong doesn't want to be a pawn, so what about himself? Has he become the chess player he thinks he is, or is he still a tiny chess piece? Or even... the entire YG is a chessboard.
He suddenly slumped in the boss chair and was in a trance for a moment. But the next moment, when he glanced at the expensive items on the table, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Now that he was already involved, he had no choice but to go all the way.
When Ye-eun, who was still angry in the boss' office, returned to the dormitory, she began to wail in pain: "What should we do? The president won't help us? Zhilong, what should we do?"
It turns out that the man who was so fierce before was just pretending to be fierce. Quan Zhilong couldn't help but curl his eyes, but was hit by Yien as a result: "Still laughing! You're still laughing?!"
Quan Zhilong covered his mouth to control his expression, "I thought you had a way to say that to the president?"
What are these "children" and "evil dragons"? When someone asks someone for help and hears that the other person doesn't help, they will start cursing.
He couldn't help but curl his lips, looking up at Ye-eun who was so anxious that she started to tear her clothes, and gently hugged her with both hands, resting his head on the crook of her neck, "Don't worry, let's do it one by one, and we'll solve it slowly."
Yi-eun lowered her eyes and hugged Quan Zhilong tightly. She felt that her future was bleak now, and she had offended even the company that was supposed to cover for them. She suddenly felt a little regretful: "If I had begged the president just now..."
Quan Zhilong curled his lips, raised his hand and gently patted her head, "Ah, it's useless to beg according to the president's personality. Besides, isn't our Ye Eun always rushing around like this?"
He smiled slightly and hugged Ye-eun tightly back, "It's okay. The company won't cover it. We will find a way to solve it ourselves."
"How, how do we solve it?" Yi Eun choked up and her eyes were red when she looked at Kwon Ji-yong.
Quan Zhilong lowered his head and kissed her trembling eyes, "Let's start with the simple ones."
Even when facing a behemoth, ants have the right to struggle hard. Kwon Ji-yong comforted himself in his heart. He couldn't panic. If he did, Yi-eun would become even more panicked.
Just like my mom said, deal with the problem with a smile and calmly.
He is Kwon Ji-yong, GD, and the captain of Bigbang. No storm, big or small, will bring him down.
Quan Zhilong thought calmly, "Don't worry, let's take it slow."
At this moment, Yien's heart suddenly calmed down. This boy, who just celebrated his 21st birthday, did not become a boring adult, but instead became a reliable brother.
She looked at the messages sent by her relatives and friends, and wiped her wet eyes fiercely, "Okay, let's take it slow!"
Even if the company does nothing, there are still so many people supporting me.
Compared to plagiarism incidents, which will bring shame for the rest of your life once you are labeled, academic qualifications incidents are easier to resolve.
Kwon Ji-yong wondered why three people were dragged into this matter at the same time, but Tablo received more doubts?
How were they different before? It's not even that he is arrogant. He and Ye-eun's fame should attract more attention than Tablo senior.
Ye-eun turned to question Tablo's academic qualifications and couldn't help but sigh: "Although this is Stanford, the senior's family all graduated from Ivy League schools. This must be the intelligence that is inherited."
Kwon Ji-yong, whose thoughts were still a little confused, suddenly trembled his eyelashes. By the way, the biggest difference between them and senior Tablo is that they took the Korean college entrance examination. He couldn't help but raise his lips: "If there is a problem with our academic qualifications, does it mean that there is a loophole in the college entrance examination system?"
He looked up at Yien, whose eyes lit up. Since the authorities could pull them out, they could also get the authorities to endorse them.
On the same day, the two posted their college entrance examination scores and relevant rules for changing majors on their SNS, and emphasized that they "believe in the fairness and justice of the Korean college entrance examination system."
Ye-eun even directly @ed the official account of the Korean Ministry of Education to express her willingness to accept the investigation. This was already a hot topic, and the artist also directly @ed the official account.
[Well... so brave! ]
[Great! This is my first time meeting an artist from a state agency. ]
[Ye-eun qaq, woohoo, 2NE1 members also reposted it. ]
[Our Ye-eun was the one who was photographed by fans reciting books at an event before the college entrance examination! ! ! Why do you slander us! ! ]
[@South Korean Ministry of Education, wouldn’t it be clear if we just retrieve the college entrance examination surveillance footage? ]
[Why would someone target Ye-eun and GD? The director of the Seoul Museum of Art has a degree from an Ivy League school, right? ]
[It has become popular among some people.] ]
[Bye, it’s really outrageous that the domestic undergraduate degree was pulled out. ]
[I just watched the news and don’t understand what the fake academic credentials of civil servants have to do with entertainers…]
Even the officials themselves did not expect that they would dare to refute the rumors like this on a Korean platform, touching on the fairness of the country's most important exam. Sure enough, the officials came forward in less than two hours.
Facing Quan Zhilong's helpless look, she raised her eyes and smiled. Seeing the official come out to refute the rumor, she laughed triumphantly: "Hehe, anyway, I'm not a Korean citizen."
Quan Zhilong curled his lips and watched as the online public opinion began to reverse within a few hours. He couldn't help but sigh that netizens are like this, as long as someone leads them, they will follow immediately.
However, Ye-eun rubbed her eyes and was confused: "What should we do about the plagiarism incident?"
The other people who were still awake yawned one after another, while Jin Duxuan and Minzhi had already fallen asleep on the ground with their pillows in their arms. They had been up all day, and although they couldn't help much, they could still stay with the two of them.
Kwon Ji-yong carefully stepped over the members who were sleeping in a crooked position, looked at the message Jeremy sent him, and then lowered his head to send a message to Daishi Dance.
"Didn't we contact Flo Rida at Jeremy's party before? He told me that he would go to the global gathering the day after tomorrow." He looked at Ye Eun and curled his lips, "And Daishi Dance was also invited this time. He said he could perform "I" and "Heartbreaker" with me."
Ye Eun opened her eyes wide with excitement. Wouldn’t it be best if she could contact the “plagiarized” singer himself to clarify the rumors? ?
Moreover, Global Gathering, as one of the top ten electronic music festivals in the world, happens to be held in New York, USA this year, and the most famous DJs in the world are invited. It is absolutely impossible for the Korean government to participate in an American music festival.
As for Daishi Dance, Ye-eun thought about how Kwon Ji-yong had specially asked him to make a remix version of "I" for her, but he hasn't found a suitable opportunity to release it yet, but everything was connected together so coincidentally.
She even wanted to cry, "Zhilong! God will also favor good children! That's why all these coincidences happen."
Jeremy, who hit it off with Cailin and Zhilong at first sight, Flo Rida who attended Jeremy's party, the two collaborations with DJ Daishi Dance, and all the friends who had met once or collaborated briefly all gathered at the Global Gathering.
Quan Zhilong glanced at Bigbang and 2NE1 lying in a heap, and said with a curved eye: "Yes, God will look after us, so don't worry anymore, Zhilong has never been defeated in all these years."
Several members looked at the two people who wrapped themselves tightly and waved: "Go quickly and come back soon!"
Park Sandara touched Ye-eun's head and said, "The sisters are waiting for you to come back and reunite with us. I will record all the meetings that we have missed in the next few days for you! We have to endure the hardships together!"
CL crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow, "Wait for you."
Ye-eun pinched her mask and smiled, her eyes curved, "Don't worry, I'll be Kwon Ji-yong's Lee Ye-eun for two days, and when I come back I'll still be 2NE1's Leyla!"
One step away was Jin Duxuan, who had helplessly pulled the crying Da Sheng off the captain. He sighed and patted Da Sheng's shoulder with Taiyang: "See, you're the excuse for the ban on the show because of the car accident. Don't drive anymore!"
