Chapter 212 They Really Don't Treat Us As Outsiders
On the day of 2NE1's "NEW EVOLUTION 2012" world tour concert in Seoul, at the Seoul Gymnastics Arena in South Korea, the concert had not yet begun, but fans who bought seats near the family seats frequently turned their heads to look in that direction.
The parents of several members of 2NE1, Dara's younger brother - Tiandong, who is also an idol, are obviously the family seats of 2NE1's concert, but the ones that everyone is most familiar with are GD and his parents.
Fans nearby carefully held up their phones towards the family seats, with uncontrollable curiosity on their faces. "GD, it's fine if you come, but why did your parents come too!"
It was also the first time for Kwon Ji-yong to watch a concert with his parents. He always performed with weapons in a domineering and cool manner, while his parents watched from the family seats. This time, he looked very well-behaved sitting between the two families' seats.
He just dyed his hair white for recording the MV of "Crayon" and now wears a red baseball cap on his head. Although he has more and more ear holes on his left and right ears, he didn't go on stage today. In front of his parents, he only wore the Chrome Hearts earrings that Yeen gave him when he took the college entrance examination on his left and right earlobes.
It was agreed that the family seats were the largest and had the best viewing position, but Kwon Ji-yong sat between the two parents' seats and blinked. How could he have fun like this?
Although he thought so, when the countdown began with the accompaniment on the scene, Kwon Ji-yong couldn't help but curl his eyes when he heard the screams of the fans.
The big screen was divided into five parts, and five black and white figures appeared on it one after another. It was obvious that only the chins of the five people were exposed when they shook their hair, but the fans still shouted their names in unison and cheered in support along with the pictures on the big screen.
As fireworks shot out from the front of the main stage and the two side stages, the white curtain fell.
"Are you ready!" When the five people appeared on the stage made of iron frames, CL, wearing a tube top and a yellow jacket, placed her hands on the iron bar in front of her and shouted to the fans.
When the fans cheered loudly in response, the music of "I'm the Most Popular" began to play. These people usually play around in life, but when they go on stage, they always show their domineering side.
Ye-eun, who had her blond hair combed into a high ponytail, and Dara, who had a Mohawk, looked at each other and made gestures while holding the railings. There were smiles in their eyes and their movements were still full of aura.
CL was the first to sing "I'm the Most Popular". When she flicked her tongue, the iron frame under them split into five pieces. CL held the iron railings and sang her part, while the iron frame under her feet began to move along the slide on the stage.
At the console in front of the main stage was Divinity Roxx wearing headphones and tapping out to the music. Although it was her first time participating in an Asian artist's concert, she couldn't help but jump up and down with the fans raising their hands because of the warm atmosphere.
Ye-eun wore a light red jacket. Their hair colors were similar this time, but the opening performance showed that each of them wore a different colored jacket. Standing on an iron frame three or four meters high and moving, not only were their voices steady, but their movements were also domineering.
"Everyone thinks I'm the best. If I'm second, of course I won't do it." Ye-en looked at the audience fiercely, took a step forward with her long legs, and turned around neatly on the iron frame. When she returned to the inner circle from the outer circle of the iron frame, the fans excitedly waved the angel wing lights in their hands and cheered.
On the other side, Minzy couldn't help but hold the railing with both hands as her small platform moved, and moved up and down on the three-meter platform that could only accommodate one person.
Not only were the fans excited by their bold actions, but even the family members in the family seats couldn't help but laugh. These two naughty kids are simply the famous "acrobats" of 2NE1.
Even though Han Jilan had seen their concert once before, she couldn't help but pat her son on the back when she saw Yien like this, "It's all because of you that Yien became like this!"
Quan Zhilong turned his head and looked at his mother innocently. What had he done? ? And what does that mean, how cute is Ye-eun now?
"When our Ye-eun was little, she was a little princess dancing in a tutu skirt." Han Ji-ran glanced at Quan Zhilong, and thought of her own equally "disobedient" daughter, and couldn't help but sigh, "Fortunately, Ye-eun only had a small smiley face tattooed."
The five members of 2NE1 on the stage have walked onto the stage from the iron frame that was put together to form a staircase shape. When they danced and sang together, the scene was just like the disco scene that young people love to go to.
Han Jilan looked down at her son, who was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and a jacket. The tattoos on his arms, back and chest were hidden tightly in front of her. But how could she not know how many tattoos he had?
Kwon Ji-yong looked at the stage guiltily without saying a word. Well, he deserved to be scolded for the tattoo. Ye-eun, why did you also invite your mom and dad when you arranged the family seats?
He laughed as he looked at Ye-eun, who was shining brightly on the stage. He leaned against the guardrail in front of him and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
Ye-eun trotted from the stage to the side stage, and several people dispersed according to the movements in rehearsal, singing "Go Away" as they ran. The moment they raised their hands and waved slightly at the fans, the fans began to cheer in unison as if they had gone through training.
After three songs in a row, apart from the group dance part, everyone was running all over the stage. When everyone gathered back on the main stage, they were all slightly out of breath.
CL adjusted the microphone next to her mouth, raised her hand and shouted, "Hello everyone, We are..."
"2NE1!"
Kwon Ji-yong was lying on the railing, his eyes following Ye-eun on the stage, and he didn't care at all about what Ye-eun had talked about with him before about the stage design and DJ.
Seeing Ye-eun standing next to CL and looking at the fans intently, several elders couldn't help but curl their lips.
The two-hour concert went by very quickly, with almost endless singing and dancing throughout. In line with YG's usual "high cost-effectiveness" performance model, only the artists were exhausted.
It was not until the last part that they had a short break. The stage was filled with props that children often play with: inflatable slides, balloons, inflatable dolls, giant rings...
From the domineering look at the beginning, to the sexiness in the middle, and finally the five people who returned to the stage at the end also changed into colorful and cute costumes.
Ye-eun was wearing an ugly cute puppy headband and sitting at the top of the red slide. As she slid down singing "I Don't Care", she heard Bom, who was sliding down the slide next to her, holding up the microphone and screaming in an 8th-dimensional voice. Her eyes curved into a bridge.
Dara also put on a green frog hairband and trotted towards the fans with a camera in hand, while Minzy jumped on an inflatable cushion with CL.
Seeing 2NE1 so cute for the first time, all fans were surprised and excited. CL took Ye-eun’s hand as she slid down the slide and rushed to the front of the stage. When they reached the front, she hugged Ye-eun and gave her a kiss.
Ye-eun covered her mouth in pretended shock, and the music switched to "I Love You". The two of them raised their hands and made a heart shape above their heads.
The director promptly enlarged their faces on the screen and then turned to the couples among the fans. Each couple made a heart shape with their hands as they sang "I love you" on the stage, until the screen zoomed in on the family seats, and the parents of several people made a heart shape with their hands towards the camera.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." The already excited fans became even more excited after seeing their idol's family and shouted while waving angel wing lights wildly.
When Quan Zhilong saw his face appear on the big screen, he was stunned for a second and then he generously made a heart shape with his eyes like other family members.
GD and his parents were the only family members in the family seats who were not related but attended as family members. Seeing the three people standing next to Ye Eun's parents, the screams at the scene suddenly became louder. Ye Eun turned her head in confusion and glanced at the screen behind her. Seeing Kwon Ji Yong and several elders on the screen, she couldn't help but curl her lips and raised her hands to make a heart shape.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!” Even though 2NE1’s family members were also on the big screen besides Kwon Ji-Dong, everyone still couldn’t help but scream.
When the vocals ended and only the accompaniment remained, CL introduced the band members on the stage, from the bassist Divinity Roxx to the drummer, and Ye-eun also added: "Thanks to our dance group Free Mind, and all the members of the YG Family..."
The members of the dance troupe freestyled freely on the stage, and the musicians began to show off their skills. To the sound of the music "I Love You", streamers were accompanied by fireworks, and the whole audience cheered and smiled as they watched them leave the stage.
When they returned to the backstage, the 2NE1 members looked at each other, then hugged each other excitedly in front of all the staff members, "Ahhhhhhhhhh! The first stop of the World Tour has ended successfully!"
“That’s so great, so great!” CL hugged Ye-eun and Bom, her eyes full of excitement. Although it was not their first concert, it was their first world tour and they knew from the feedback from the fans at the scene that their performance this time was indeed unparalleled.
Ye-eun was hugged by CL, and she raised her head proudly with her eyes curved, "2NE1's fans will definitely be very satisfied with this world tour."
As they were excitedly reviewing the performance, their family members followed the staff to the backstage, and suddenly the already small backstage became even more crowded. Kwon Ji-yong stood quietly in the corner, watching Ye-eun and several members' families hugging and acting coquettishly one by one, his eyes full of smiles.
Who could be more pleasing to adults than her? Sure enough, several elders smiled when they saw her, holding her hands and saying, "Your last look is so cute."
Ye-eun also smiled cheerfully and turned to look at Quan Zhilong who was standing behind the elders in a top hat. "He said yesterday that my headband was ugly. How is it ugly?"
As family members, they naturally knew about their relationship and everyone laughed. Kwon Ji-yong shook his head helplessly with his eyes curved. This puppy headband was really ugly, and the eyes were so big that it could almost scare children, but she just liked this style of things.
It was time to take a group photo, and the family members gradually dispersed. Kwon Ji-yong wanted to retreat with them, but CL waved at him: "Hey, Oppa, come over here too."
The dancers around the five of them were all squatting, while the stylists, musicians and other staff were standing beside them. Jeremy also hooked his arm around CL's neck and waved to Quan Zhilong with a smile, "GD, come here!"
The musicians were all friends from Europe and America, and almost all of them stood close to the members. Several of them had already agreed to kiss each other on the cheek when taking photos, and the dancers were also quietly discussing what poses to strike.
Kwon Ji-yong raised his eyebrows at Ye-eun's urging eyes and walked straight towards her. The dancers who were half-crouching beside Ye-eun took a step back to let him in.
Yi Eun glanced at him with curved eyes, took off the puppy headband on her head, and as soon as she raised her hand, Quan Zhilong immediately bent his head slightly and let her take off his hat and put the ugly headband on his head.
"Hehe, I told you not to say it's ugly." Yien casually put his baseball cap on her head.
The staff holding the camera directed everyone who was preparing to take a group photo, "Push closer, push closer, there are too many people and the camera won't fit."
The crowd, which was already huddled together, squeezed even closer. Ye-eun and Kwon Ji-yong put their arms together, and when the staff began the countdown, people in front and behind friendly kissed their cheeks and prepared to take photos.
"Three, two, one!" The staff pointed the camera at them. Kwon Ji-yong curved his eyes and lowered his head slightly, and kissed Ye-eun on the cheek at the last second of the countdown.
Ye-eun was not shocked. Instead, she smiled brightly when she felt the warm breath on her cheek. She stretched out her right hand that was between them and made a heart shape with her fingers.
The picture froze, and the Korean staff looked at the two in shock. If others kiss, you will kiss them too!
Quan Zhilong slightly stepped back with his lips curled, without looking at their eyes, and said softly: "I wish our Ye-Eun world tour a perfect ending."
2NE1's SNS account uploaded photos one hour after the concert ended that day. In addition to the photos taken by Bom and Dara on the stage with cameras, there were also several backstage group photos, individual photos of the five people, and photos with the staff.
In the group photo in the middle, Jeremy is holding CL's shoulders and kissing her on the side of her face, while the person kissing Ye-eun is GD! ?
[! ? ? It would be fine if he just went to the family seats, but he also kissed her on the cheek? ]
[Go to the family seats? Ahhh, besides 2NE1's family members, is GD the only one who went to the family seats? ]
[No, GD’s parents are here too. ]
[Hahahahahahahahaha, wouldn’t it be even more outrageous if GD’s parents were here? ]
[This is outrageous, whose family are childhood sweethearts?] ]
[Kissing…the media couldn’t take the picture, so they took it themselves kkkkk. ]
[That’s too much!] That’s too much! They were so crazy that the media didn't even capture them! ]
[Hahahahahaha the media is pissed off.] ]
[We are 2NE1 like this. There are many photos of us kissing the side of the opposite sex. ]
[Kwon Yi fans tell you, not kissing is already a sign of their restraint. ]
[Jeremy kissed CL, that drummer kissed Minzy, and it’s also normal for GD to kiss Yeun. Waaaaaaah.] ]
[…Jeremy is a sister, but GD is not! ]
[They really don’t treat us as outsiders, so they are so affectionate? ]
[How sweet! They are both smiling!] ! ! ]
[Wait, did I miss the reveal? When will it be made public? ? ]
