Chapter 160 (Forum Style!) The first time they were photographed holding hands in private
YG has more and more employees, and even Ye-eun has heard that the company has begun preparing for an IPO. However, these things have no direct relationship with the artists, so she doesn't care.
But when she heard her family telling her that the president's plan to go public seemed to involve some unspeakable capital injection, Yien raised her eyebrows in disbelief.
Could it be that what the company said about the president's bar hiring some artists to perform as drinking companions is also related to these things? I always feel that... the president is going too far. Thinking about how he had vowed that YG would get better after the change of leadership, Ye-eun always felt that this behavior was too dangerous.
After all, South Korea has the well-known Blue House curse. If you rely on the other party to live a good life for a few years, what will you do when the government settles accounts with you?
For a moment, Ye-eun was thinking about where Bigbang and 2NE1 would go with their families.
Or...like some companies do, ask if you can give artists shares? After the president is liquidated, find someone to take his place?
Although Yeen only learned a little bit in business school, she has already started to have big ambitions.
Thinking that the president might end up playing tricks on her, Yien couldn't help but laugh.
It was at this time that she received a call from the president, "Ye-eun, why were you so careless when you went out with Zhilong a few days ago?"
Ye-eun, who had just cursed in her heart that the other party would be liquidated together, couldn't help but feel guilty, "Ah? I haven't been out with him recently?"
"Didn't you come out of the bar holding Zhilong's hand?" Yang Hyun Suk looked at the photo he received and the high price the other party asked for, and he wanted to laugh. "Since you don't admit or deny it, I won't accept this photo."
Ye-eun looked at the photo sent by the president and raised her eyebrows.
This photo was taken a few days ago when she and Zhilong went to "comfort" Zhuhe Oppa. Zhilong held her hand, and Zhuhe Oppa also held Zhilong's arm because he was afraid that Zhilong would fall.
All three of them were wearing masks, but fans who were familiar with them would definitely be able to recognize them at a glance.
No matter how I look at this photo, I feel like it would be OK to crop either myself or Joo Hyuk oppa...
Ye-eun blinked and laughed at the thought in her mind. When she heard the president say that they should wait for the other party to reveal the news and then make an announcement in YG's style, she agreed without thinking.
Sure enough, when she just landed in Korea, she heard several girls in front of her talking about it.
"Is this the first time they were photographed holding hands in private?"
"Hmm...GD and Ye-Eun interact so much in front of the camera, but they have never been photographed in private. It's totally amazing."
“And this time there were also three of us kkkkk, but they held hands.”
"Oh my god, it's right before GD's comeback... I'm really not sure if it's hype or not!"
"And YG's announcement is hilarious. It's hard to confirm the progress of Kwon Ye's relationship. Please contact Star J Entertainment for information on GD and Lee Joo Hyuk's relationship status."
"Wow, this PR is just a random one without thinking."
Only then did Ye-eun realize that YG's public relations this time was so outrageous. She casually opened her phone and clicked on Naver. Sure enough, the public relations from a few hours ago was still posted online, and the comments below were similar to the focus of the previous girls.
Some were either discussing the first time they were photographed, some were mocking YG’s PR, or some were shocked by this “threesome”, while the rest were asking what company Star J was from.
When Ye-eun saw a comment that said "Please pay more attention to Star J's boy group Empire!", she realized that Joo-hyuk's entertainment agency is the same as theirs.
This PR is also outrageous. She reluctantly put her phone away and waited until the girls in front of her passed security before following them.
On YouTube, after Shin Hye-young released her first video of Kwon Yi, although she had made an advance notice, for the following period of time, she only released various analysis videos of only a few minutes every few days. It was not until this time when Kwon Yi was photographed holding hands in private that she took advantage of the popularity and released a second long video.
Fans who had clicked in as usual after seeing the update were pleasantly surprised to find that this was the long-awaited second episode. Quan Yi’s fans, who were already delighted because of the first private hand-holding photo taken in so many years, sent comments before the video was even played.
There were several comments every time the comment section was refreshed, and it felt like a real-time communication, which made them feel that the number of Quan Yi’s fans was indeed growing.
[Ouni, did you also post this after seeing the news? ? Holding hands! ! ]
[Holding hands in private kkkk, what’s the difference between holding hands in public? ]
[Oh my god, the relationship progress that cannot be confirmed, isn’t that just a default? ]
[Who said YG doesn’t know how to do public relations? He is so good at it kkkk, his fans have been hooked again. ]
[The progress of GD and Ye Eun's relationship cannot be confirmed. Regarding GD and Lee Joo Hyuk's relationship, please contact each other's company to confirm. Ye Eun and Lee Joo Hyuk, who were once rumored to be in a relationship, have no relationship at all kkkk. ]
[The progress of the relationship cannot be confirmed. If we squeeze out the water in YG’s words, even the Sahara Desert can turn into a wetland kkkk. ]
[I'm really caught up in YG's PR rhetoric kkkkk, I wish my life could be as simple as YG's PR work. ]
[I decided to give the Nobel Prize to myself for not going crazy and rushing to YG after seeing YG’s PR. ]
Only after they had chatted for a long time using the video as a factual chat tool did they click the play button.
What catches your eye is this Youtuber’s iconic artistic font and the background music of “Butterfly”.
[Quan Yi Episode 2: I love you, with all the changes, and I am loyal to you - those undercurrents hidden beneath the works. ]
The words that flowed into the center from all sides like running water eventually turned into two characters for love, one in Chinese and one in Korean. After converging together, they merged into the water.
It was the first time that Quan Yi’s fans who were watching this video could see such a sophisticated analysis video, and they couldn’t help but widen their eyes.
Is this why it takes months to release a video?
The familiar gentle female voice that I have heard in the past few months appeared again.
"The inspiration for this video came from what the presenter said when GD won the Album of the Year Award at last year's MAMA. He said that music, like movies, is infused with the emotions and attitudes of the producers." The video played the footage from last year's MAMA, and the sound continued with the footage. "And when I saw the behind-the-scenes video of Shine A Light, I heard similar words from GD himself."
Kwon Ji-yong's thoughtful words replaced the YouTuber's voice, "I want to find a balance between self-expression and public resonance in music."
On the screen, Kwon Ji-yong, a man with black hair and sharp eyes, was lost in thought, and the YouTuber spoke again: "Because of what he said, I also started to struggle. GD, can you tell me directly which songs express myself and which songs are for the public to resonate with?"
"It wasn't until I had listened to almost every one of his songs hundreds of times that I realized it." The female voice paused and sighed. The words Bigbang and G-Dragon appeared on the screen at the same time. As Bigbang slowly disappeared, G-Dragon was directly enlarged on the entire screen.
The female voice appears again, "Songs written only for G-Dragon seem to be the moment when GD writes his own story. So in this video, we will only analyze GD's solo songs, of course, including personal solos in team albums, and also personal solos he wrote for Ye-Eun."
The screen switched again, and the words G-Dragon were replaced again - We belong together, G-Dragon/Lee Ye-eun.
The female voice was gentle, "In 2006, my love started to grow."
As soon as the song title came out, Quan Yi’s fans who had been watching the song immediately laughed.
[Kwon Ye’s only collaboration song! ! ! ]
[Please go back four years. ]
[My life started from that daykkkk. ]
[It is said that this song defeated Ye-Eun’s solo “I” and became the first on the blacklist of the fan music list. ]
[It was 2006, did GD like Ye-eun at that time? At that time, GD was only 19 years old, and Ye-eun was only 16 years old. ]
[kkkkk has been raised to eat more delicious things since childhood: A. cherry tomatoes, B. girlfriend/boyfriend. ]
[C8, 2006, it turns out that you have been selfish since then, kwon jiyong. ]
Along with the fans' comments, the background music changed to this song, "'What would happen to me if we hadn't met?' There are many sweet words written by GD in this song, but the one that shocked me was this sentence, "What would happen to GD's life without Ye Eun?"
The female voice, which has always been gentle, was emotional for the first time. "I don't know what kind of mood GD was in when he wrote this lyric, even though he was not yet an adult and had lived with Ye-eun for more than ten years. But when I heard this lyric, I suddenly began to think, how would GD live his life without Ye-eun?"
Photos of the two began to appear on the screen, from the first public photo of the YG Family concert, to their first collaboration at a Bigbang concert, to their return to Korea from the United States last year, one after the other, to the hand-holding photo that was taken just two days ago.
Over the past five or six years, Quan Yi, who has been discussed by the public, has rarely appeared in the same frame with him. They only take a photo in each occasion, and there are only about ten photos in total. And the only private photo of them together was taken a few days ago.
Photos of the two of them appeared on the screen one by one, and the next moment, Ye-eun's figure was cruelly erased from all the photos.
At the YG concert, when GD lowered his head to take off the feather hair accessory on Ye-eun's head, he was left standing on the lively stage with his eyes downcast in black clothes. On the collaboration stage and in "Family Outing", GD always turned his head to look at the empty space behind him.
Even when he was surrounded by numerous media outlets and questioned about the plagiarism incident, Quan Zhilong, who had wrapped himself tightly, was the only one left as he lowered his head and walked through countless microphones and cameras.
For a moment, all the fans of Quan Yi who came in were almost moved to tears by these lonely scenes.
[Asi, did I come in to cry? ]
[Tsk tsk… don’t do this to me. Given GD’s bloody constitution, it would be so hard for him to endure without Ye Eun. ]
[Fans who started following Quan Yi after the plagiarism incident were really moved to tears...]
[Ouni, this is too much, how can you edit the video like this! ]
[Asi, the entire Pacific Ocean is my tears. ]
[Oh my god...where is my paper! It's so blurry that I can't even see the words clearly. ]
[At this moment, my love for you, unnie, turned into hatred. ]
However, the YouTuber seemed to be unaware that people would cry because of this segment, and she continued to sigh, "What will happen? Actually, nothing will happen, right? On the show, GD said that he and Ye-eun will celebrate their birthdays together every year, and that when they want to cry, they will have someone to cry with.
Without Ye-eun, this person can celebrate his birthday every year with friends in the midst of feasting and revelry, or he can cry secretly in a room with no one in it.
Everything seems to be going well, just like the lyrics of this song. Without a child who grew up with me, will "the rest of my life be exhausting and lonely", or will GD really say "you are the reason I live" as written in the movie? ”
The screen shows GD receiving the award alone, walking on the red carpet alone, and holding Jiahu's hand alone. Words flash by. Maybe without that person, he would still be able to stand gloriously at the height he would reach. However, it would be too lonely.
[I don’t watch anymore…]
[Ouni, don’t you believe it? If you keep talking like that, I will really come after you with a knife. ]
[Che Bai, don’t make me cry anymore. ]
[I looked at the video title while crying. ]
[Oh my god, I came here with dessert and drinks in my hand, but now I’m crying like a fool while pulling out a tissue. ]
[I hate this world when I think about GD and Ye-eun not being able to be with each other...]
"Maybe one day, when GD was imagining what the world would be like without Ye-eun, he suddenly realized what kind of feelings he had for Ye-eun?"
The two of them are pictured together again, this time with a sunny background. The proud and confident Ye-eun and Kwon Ji-yong, who always acts cool in front of the camera, hold hands and sing along to the cute lyrics "Please hold me, I want to fly to the sky." A Doraemon bamboo dragonfly appears above both of their heads, carrying them both to fly into the sky.
At the same time, the sweet lyrics appeared.
"You are my hero to me."
"You are my only bride."
"As long as we're together we don't have to worry about anything."
"Even if time passes, we will be the same as before."
The last sentence seemed to echo the title. When it appeared, the childhood photos of Ye-eun that appeared in "Kim Jung-eun's Chocolate" and the child star photos of Kwon Ji-yong on BOBOBO were also cut together. Then, the elementary school graduation photos of the two and the same photos of the YG concert appeared...
As time passes and the photos change, the title appears again: [I love you, in all my changes, and I am faithful to you]
The bamboo dragonfly swaying above their heads suddenly turned into a tender green seedling, and a small bud slowly emerged above their heads - the words "Heart-beating Sprouts" appeared on it.
"It was from this moment that some people began to have selfish motives, and their way of getting along with each other began to change."
The fans who were still in a sad atmosphere the previous second immediately laughed out loud.
Wow, this animation is so cute.
[I was crying and laughing like a fool. ]
[But the analysis is completely correct! Ye-eun was so shy for the first time when she worked with Ji-yong oppa at Bigbang’s concert. ]
[kkkk, even though Ye-eun might not have been moved at that time, the lyrics are so straightforward that it is scary. ]
[GD’s personality… is that if he likes something, he must get it. ]
[Thanks to Long hyung who realized that I liked Ye-eun at that time! Otherwise, given Ye-eun's personality, when will there be any progress? ]
[kkkkk, on the show, Ye-eun really had no feelings towards the confessions of those male artists kkkk. ]
[Fools, you have to say "My love" as directly as GD does! ]
[What are you talking about? Don't let some artists who have a crush on Ye-eun see this. ]
[kkkkI feel like if an unfamiliar boy expressed himself to Ye-eun in a tactful way, she would definitely be confused, right? ]
[M: I want to be more than just friends with you, Ye-eun: Best friend? ]
[faint……]
[Wait, it suddenly occurred to me that this might be what KJY did when he was a child! ? Bad friends? ]
[… Chebai, it’s very likely. ]
[I suddenly feel so cute. Little Zhilong is not sure about his feelings but likes Xiao Yien very much in his heart: I want to be more than friends with you!
Xiao Yien agreed immediately based on her own understanding: Okay! Then we are best friends!
Xiao Zhilong, who felt it was right but also felt there was something wrong: Okay, okay! We will always be the best of friends! ]
[kkkkk totally kiyo! ! ! ]
[So we have been together for such a long time in the name of friends! In a country like ours where even elementary school students can have so many romantic relationships, these two are really abnormal...]
[Oh my god, is it normal now? They are now at the stage of elementary school students' love in our country. ]
[kkkkkk, two people who are always much slower than everyone else. ]
[These two people look sexy physically, but they are actually very innocent inside kkk. ]
[The way they get along is really childish, it’s always like kkkk on every show. ]
[The reason why I firmly believe that this is definitely not a hype about love is that it is absolutely impossible for someone to design such a childish way of love...]
[kkkkkk, screenwriter teacher:? You call this love? ]
[I can’t believe I found myself falling in love so I just wrote “We belong to each other” GD is so cute kkkk, sweet! ]
"Time jumps to 2009 when Ye-eun went solo. If in 2006 she could only confirm GD's feelings, then at this point, the initial budding of love has turned into mutual understanding."
The background music also changed from "We belong together" to "I". The first scene that appeared was Ye-eun holding her first first-place trophy, looking at the camera with a smile and saying "Thanks to my producer: G-Dragon".
The scenes where Ye-eun appears in front of the camera are almost all on promotional stages. There are not many variety shows and interviews. However, the Youtuber still cut out various scenes of her singing this song from various programs.
She hummed this song unintentionally on 21tv's performances, solo songs at concerts, and the remix version of Global Gathering in the United States. No matter which scene, she was smiling while singing this song.
"GD is probably the producer in our country who likes to use metaphors the most." The scene turns from Ye-eun to Kwon Ji-yong again. On various stages, the lyrics he wrote, combined with the stage design and MV shooting, the bizarre scenes almost make people feel like they are caught up in philosophical thinking.
The final scene freezes on his solo album, and all kinds of metaphorical information that have been dug up by almost the entire Internet appear on the screen one by one.
The lyrics of the song "I" that followed were also noted.
"Deceive yourself and deceive others. These two words seem to be just for rhyme, but they are actually the words in Oscar Wilde's book, 'People who fall in love always start by deceiving themselves and end by deceiving others.'
It seems like a pessimistic view on love, but under the light and gentle piano sound of this song, it is more like a confession.
'Stepping onto the gangplank of a pirate ship' is actually Janet's metaphor for falling in love.
And Einstein's rare love words, 'People will always fall in love, but this obviously has nothing to do with gravity' are also carefully hidden in the lyrics. The version after being translated into Korean is not so conspicuous, but how can Ye Eun, who has been with GD for more than ten years, not see and hear it?
However, she still accepted this song expressing her love. This year or even earlier, they had already expressed their feelings to each other. ”
[Great... People really need to study first. ]
[kkkkkI remember a fan once commented to GD: I want to date Oppa, and GD’s reply was: Go study. ]
[Wow, GD really loves to encourage fans to study. ]
[Kwon Jiyong: Bye, fans please read more books, I’m afraid you won’t understand my songs. ]
[A very sensible artist paired with uneducated fans... I mean me. ]
[kkkkk Only Ye-eun can understand this song! Words written to me...]
[I am very touched by the song Oppa wrote for me! Thanks! What do these lyrics mean? ]
[Thinking back to when “Heartbreaker” was first released, I followed the analysis bloggers to learn the lyrics and the hidden meanings of the MV frame by frame. ]
[Totally awesome... There are so many hidden meanings listed at the end, how did GD write it? ]
[No matter what others say, "I" is simply a divine song in my heart! ! ! There is no like or love in the whole song, but every sentence is expressing love! ! ]
[The beginning, the narrative, the ending, from the lyrics to the composition, the whole song is the same as the work. ]
[After this analysis, the chocolate factory is about to close down...]
[Blood sugar explosion! ]
[So Ye-eun is super gentle every time she sings this song, (video comparison) every time she performs this song she suddenly looks like a female idol kkkk. ]
[Daisy: Hiong, why is the song you wrote for me so straightforward? ]
[kkkkkkGui Shun sounds so nice, my grandma at home loves it very much. ]
[For my brother: Trot was written, and one line of lyrics runs through the whole song. For Ye-eun: Use the piano and violin, use all kinds of metaphors, and be sure to use all kinds of words to confess your love to Ye-eun! (GD intends to burn the emoji). ]
[It’s funny when I think about this contrastkkkkk. ]
[Oh my, if someone confessed to me like this, it would be like a heart attack. ]
[So it was GD who confessed first? Even GD has to confess first... It's really unfriendly to have only boys confess first. I hope girls can take the initiative too. ]
[Oh my god, who the hell has sneaked in? ]
[Men who are handsome will also receive a lot of confessions...Have you ever considered that it’s not a matter of environment kkkk. ]
[kkkkkk That's absolutely right, what does it mean that even GD has to confess first, because the person on the other side is Ye Eun! ! ! Who wouldn’t confess their love to Ye-eun’s face? ]
[Come on, before she debuted I really thought she would be a model or a dancer. She has the kind of celebrity looks that only exist in magazines, right? ]
[What a good match kkkk, they look so awesome when they stand together (family birth photo) (strong heart photo). ]
[kkkkk loudly: Don’t involve me anymore! I've suffered a lot because Ye-eun likes my looks. ]
[Dasheng followed Quan Yi to the museum to steal the statue. The police came and only Dasheng was arrested. ]
[Hahahahahahahahaha, why would they want to steal the statue! Couples, please have a good relationship! ]
[Hehe, so that means you must have been together in 2009, right? With Ye-eun’s personality, she probably wouldn’t sing this song if she wasn’t in a relationship. ]
[absolute! Analyzing a relationship through songs is such a genius idea. ]
[YG: It’s hard to confirm the progress of the relationship, Quan Yi’s fans: We have analyzed it for you! ]
[kkkkk, fans who are more serious than YG staff. ]
[Oh my god, shall we go to YG to apply? I feel like the fans will definitely be able to "confirm" all the timelines and all the little details. ]
[kkkkk, throw this Youtuber into YG, and tomorrow we’ll be able to analyze which corner they secretly held hands in. ]
[Magnifying glass, detective windbreaker, detective hat, everything is ready! ]
Dozens of analysis videos continue to appear in a few seconds, and the scene turns to last year's MAMA scene, where Kwon Ji-Dragon looks back as he walks the red carpet with two puppies.
"At the end of 2009, "Butterfly" - the passionate love period. Different from the passionate and straightforward heart-beating song "We belong together", and also different from the gentle confession song with piano and violin accompaniment, the song "Butterfly" uses the guitar to outline a dreamy scene."
The scene turns to the MV again. The unique scene of Kwon Ji-Dong and the animated little girl has already appeared in the previous analysis, and this time the Youtuber analyzed the scene in more detail.
"The red hairband we saw in the previous video fluttered down from the girl's head like a butterfly and flew towards the comic version of GD. Then GD turned into a butterfly and flew towards the girl." The voice stood up for a moment, letting the butterfly in the picture turn into the real Kwon Ji-yong in a black hat and red clothes. "There's no need to say who likes red and black the most, right?"
The two of them crossed the carousel, flew in the picture frame, and after passing through the ingenious roller skating mechanism, they arrived at the forest.
"The three characters in your name make me so excited. I want to follow you like a parasite. You will always be special to me." The female voice was soft and smiling, "Whose name has three characters? Who will he follow as long as Ye-eun is on the show?"
The picture freezes on the shot of two people kissing under the moon in the MV. Obviously one is the real Kwon Ji-Yong and the other is an animated character, but at this moment it suddenly turns into a completely identical two-dimensional picture.
"Look carefully, in this scene, the backs of the two people suddenly look like children*, and suddenly it's like two adults had a butterfly dream and returned to their childhood.
We still don’t know why this song’s MV was shot this way. Maybe they didn’t want to add fuel to the fire of the relationship, or maybe it was the company’s request…
However, when the picture froze on GD sitting on the edge of the roof, looking up at the sky and saying 'It's your turn', I suddenly thought.
Maybe there will be a chorus version of this song in the future. And on that day, they should have made it public, right? After all, he collaborated with all other members of 2NE1 in this album, except Ye-eun. ”
The image of Kwon Ji-yong looking up spreads out like butterflies. Two children carried by bamboo dragonflies slowly fall from the sky. Two small seedlings in the corner sprout to bud and then to bloom, and finally bloom warmly and proudly.
[Wow, I didn’t notice that the last scene turned into a kid boobing! ! ! Just tell me, besides Ye-eun, who else has known him since childhood! ]
[Ahhh, you’re a total genius, unnie! ]
[It's your turn Really... I never thought there might be a two-player version before. ]
[Wait wait wait, I’m a little confused now. Is this YouTuber saying that there will be a two-player version of Butterfly? ]
[? ? ? I want to ask too! ! ! If that really happens, I will cry to death! ]
[Even Minzy has a few feats in the solo album, but Yeeun doesn’t...qaq, could this song really have been originally intended for Yeeun? ]
[The MV too... I never thought about why it was so special before, could it be that Yang Hyun Suk didn't want our Ye Eun to appear in the film! ]
[Cheers, dog company! ]
[Why! ! ! I was wondering at the time why everyone was collaborating but not with Yeen... I thought they were using this method to dispel rumors qaq. ]
[Mo Ya, if that’s really the case, who on earth stopped them from singing in chorus? ! ! ]
[I am completely amazed, three songs in three stages... Will GD keep writing until he gets old kkkk?] ]
[Heartbeat, First Love, Passionate Love, three songs with three different styles, totally a hit. ]
[Who wouldn’t be moved by this…]
[Chebai, every stage of love is recorded in songs. It turns out that tears will flow when you are envious. ]
[When you first fall in love, you will confess directly, but after that you become more and more subtle kkkkk, is our GD Oppa also shy? ]
[Oh my god, if GD really has a collaborative version of Butterfly in the future, I will definitely rush to him and let him watch this video. ]
[Give Youtuber another tip! ! ! ]
[This is crazy... I told you to be secretive when you two are dating, but it's really ridiculous that you're so obvious. ]
[They are already in love, can we expect GD to directly confess his love for Ye Eun in his next song? ]
[Can we expect the next photo to be of a bobo? ]
[Golden armor!] ! ! Why didn't anyone take pictures of them? Are there any sneaky tricks to avoid being photographed? ]
[Children, please pay more attention to the people around you (put your hands together), the next photo depends on you. ]
[Yes, I have installed an automatic capture device in my eyes, please rest assured! (There is a photo of Quan Yi hanging on the eyelid.jpg)]
[…Well, there’s no need for that! Health is more important! ]
As the last few lines of music stopped, the scene returned to darkness.
"In their sixteenth year, with all the changes, they remain faithful to each other. They belong together."
The words disappeared, leaving only the big faces of Quan Yi’s fans on the screen.
