Chapter 356 Quan Zhilong: Ah~ni~ang~sai~yo~
The three of them ended up arguing for several minutes over "Athena's olive tree". Tiger Brother calmly watched his two bosses "bullying" his fellow workers, and when they were thirsty from the argument, he silently handed the water in his hand to the two of them.
The other side not only has "two against one", but also has logistics!
Li Taixi stared at the two of them, and finally snorted harshly, deciding to travel quietly and stay away from them.
The two "isolated" people were also quite happy. From the Acropolis of Athens to the ruins of Kerameikos, to the National Museum of Athens and Socrates Prison, they walked leisurely, strolled, played and ate wherever they wanted.
After staying in Athens for four days, the two took everyone to Zakynthos, and in the last few days they arrived at Santorini Island in the Aegean Sea.
Different from Athens which is full of classical charm, Santorini is located on the sea and the whole island is filled with a kind of tranquility that is unique to the sea.
Even the churches have blue domes. When Ye-en looked at the unique buildings on Santorini Island on the day of sailing, she couldn't help but puffed her cheeks and said, "It's the last day..."
Because of the direct sunlight on the sea and to avoid sunburn, Kwon Ji-long wore a hat with a silk scarf purchased on the island as embellishment on the brim of the hat. Ye-eun also wrapped the silk scarf around her chest as an irregular suspender.
Quan Zhilong placed his hands on the side of the speedboat, his eyes following the seabirds flying across the sky. He suddenly raised his hand and made a "hush" sound, listening attentively to the music of the birdsong and the sea water.
Yeen immediately held his breath and waved to the people who were still making noise behind him. After slowing down his pace for the past ten days, he seemed to be full of inspiration. Birdsong, flowing water, string music, it seemed that all sounds could inspire him.
In just a few minutes, new data appeared on the mobile composition software.
I even wrote a song during the 15-day honeymoon trip.
When the artists in the company saw Kwon Ji-yong go into his exclusive recording studio as soon as he finished his honeymoon trip, they couldn't help but sigh.
Some people are so talented that they can have endless inspiration even when they are just traveling.
Meanwhile, Kwon Ji-yong was writing songs in the recording room, while Ye-eun and several members of 2NE1 were working on their comeback this year.
The last time 2NE1 made a comeback as a group was two years ago, and last year the members performed solos one after another. And because Bigbang already made a comeback last year, the comeback of all 2NE1 members this year can almost be said to be the most important task for YG in 2016.
Before that, when Bigbang started their China tour, Kwon Ji-yong released his latest single "Temple".
After three years, he collaborated with American DJ Baauer again, and with British Sri Lankan rapper MIA, this song, which only has an animated audio-visual MV, debuted at number one even without any promotion.
"When you walk to the center of the stage, you will see a sacred temple. Be patient, there will always be a place for you."
The lyrics at the beginning make people realize that this is an ambitious, hip-hop style music. From the intro to the bridge, it is full of Kwon Ji-yong's unique traditional hip-hop style similar to Niliria. However, in the end, the traditional string music, bird songs, sea water sounds and the rich bass melody bring an inexplicable sense of peace and comfort to the song.
On April 1, YG released a short video clip of the song's behind-the-scenes footage.
The scene begins with Kwon Ji-Dragon looking up at the back of a Greek temple, then the artistic word "Temple" appears on the screen. Then Kwon Ji-Dragon's baby-like "Bang ya bang ya" sound in this song breaks up the Temple, and the scene returns to Greece, which is full of European style.
The short half-minute footage seemed to have captured every moment when Kwon Ji-ryong got inspiration.
In an empty square, he and Yi-eun sat on the marble steps and listened attentively to the street performers playing ancient traditional string music; in a dense jungle, they leaned back to back with their chins propped up to listen to the melodious birdsong; on the Aegean Sea, they sat side by side on the side of a yacht and raised their heads to listen to the sound of the waves...
The last scene freezes on the moment when the two of them childishly pointed their hands at each other's hearts and "Bang!". While Kwon Ji-yong covered his heart with his hands and said "Bang!", Ye-eun proudly raised her hand and made two "sixes".
The two of them did not hide the fact that they were going on their honeymoon trip from everyone. During the more than ten-day trip, they and Brother Lao Hu would occasionally post some photos and updates. Their happy looks made everyone who saw them couldn't help but smile.
This half-minute "inspirational highlights" made the two's fans so excited that their teeth were sore.
[Che Bai... You wrote a song just like that? ? ? ]
[Can you write and release songs while on your honeymoon trip? Then please go to Long Oba more often! ]
[Hahahaha, the release of this song was totally unexpected, it was released directly online without any publicity. ]
[Cheep, I love this song so much, it’s totally GD’s style song.] ]
[Tsk tsk tsk, GD: Writing songs is as easy as eating. ]
[Bang, Bang, Bang!] This isn't the behind-the-scenes footage of "Temple", it's the honeymoon teaser, right? ]
[Thank you for your hard work, Brother Tiger! ]
[Hahahahahahahahaha, I can tell at first glance that this was taken by Brother Lao Hu. It must have been hard work for him to capture so many beautiful pictures with a mobile phone. ]
[We went to Greece for our honeymoon trip... At the time, everyone just thought it was in Europe, but didn’t think about where specifically we went. ]
[Bang!] I thought GD was talking about "Bang Bang Bang" when he suddenly posted this...]
[kkkkk, my mind is full of “Bang ya” now! ]
[These two people are so cute kkkk, will there be a gun fight in the end? ]
[Oh my god, what does Ye-eun’s last gesture mean? Two horns? ]
[Isn’t that the Chinese way of counting six? ]
[six? ]
[six! ? ]
[So 2NE1... will be back on June 6th! ? ]
Consistent with netizens' speculation, this short video promoting Kwon Ji-yong's single also hinted at 2NE1's comeback time.
On June 6, 2016, a 10-second advance video of 2NE1's third album's title song "Gravity" was released. The music style, based on strong electronic music and synthesizer sounds, plus the brainwashing music, combined with the visual effect in the MV of the five people falling from the sky as if pulled by gravity, made everyone look forward to the return of 2NE1, which has a unique style among Korean girl groups, after two years.
When the third album "Never: End" was released in full a week later, 2NE1's first comeback stage featured five members wearing vests over jackets, showing off their mermaid lines, and raising their hands to the rhythm of "Gravity" in the music, as if they were being pulled down by gravity. The addictive music and dance moves in the chorus brainwashed all netizens.
The five girls' powerful movements combined with the already dynamic song made this song instantly popular.
"If Park Bom can do this, then I can do it too!"
Although I can’t have the same sense of rhythm and precise timing as Ye-eun and Min-zy, I can definitely reach the level of “Bom”! The five members of Bigbang were seen doing this dance backstage at the concert to promote their juniors’ comeback. YG’s other dance god TOP actually looked very handsome when he danced. With this as a promotional point, almost everyone posted their own “dance challenge” videos online.
However, this move looks simple, but it is difficult to perform. Except for netizens with dance skills, others cursed in their hearts after trying countless times, "Li Yien, this guy, every time she choreographs a dance that looks simple but is actually impossible for ordinary people to dance, but everyone is fooled every time."
Thinking about how many times they have challenged Ye-eun's choreography online, from the hand-shaking dance in "Fire" when 2NE1 debuted, to the neck twisting in Ye-eun's solo "Savage Love", to the gravity challenge in the latest "Gravity", everyone sighed in their hearts that this guy is a choreography genius, but also a bastard.
They deliberately choreograph like this every time just to attract attention!
Netizens who were unable to do the "gravity challenge" even though they were about to break their hips were wondering how long Bom had trained to be able to perform this dance.
Park Bom, who had to take medicine almost every day for her three meals a day due to illness in recent years, did suffer a lot because of this dance. However, when she saw the popularity and music performance of their comeback this time, she smiled happily: "Hehe, it's totally worth it to train for so long!"
Park Chun touched the medicine in her pocket. The mental illness that had no cure so far had indeed caused her physical functions to decline. Dancing, which she was not good at to begin with, had become increasingly difficult for her to learn in the past two years. However, she tried her best every time.
Ye-eun hugged Park Bom's arm and said coquettishly, "Our Bom unnie is super great, but if you feel tired, just tell us!"
Minzhi glanced at Ye-eun's expression and smiled secretly.
The other members also noticed that Ye-eun, who was not very spoiled when she was young, seems to be becoming more and more spoiled in the past two years. The proud and prickly Ye-eun is becoming more and more gentle. CL leaned against the wall with her arms around her chest and tilted her head domineeringly: "Tell you? It was you who deliberately choreographed such a difficult dance to tire our Park Chun-eunnie!"
Seeing Ye-eun pointing at him in shock with an expression that said "blame me for not thanking me", Dara also had a smile in his eyes. Because she was exhausted from the training, she sat on the floor, propped one hand on her chin and looked up at Ye-eun: "Ah, Chun, if you are tired, blame Ye-eun."
The remaining three nodded in unison. Ye-eun desperately let go of Park Chun's arms and cried, "You all bullied me... Zhilong and I will go and complain!"
The four of them burst out laughing. Ye-eun pointed at CL who laughed the most exaggeratedly and said seriously, "Lee Chae-rin, are you planning to collaborate with him on a song? Hehe, I'll start with you!"
CL shrugged nonchalantly, and said proudly, "If I don't let GD Oppa work with me, I won't work with him. Then you will definitely come to the recording studio every day to bother me."
Ye-eun collapsed to the ground in despair, with a look of grievance in her eyes, "I knew it... I knew it, you guys were planning to isolate a married person like me. This is 2NE1's last comeback, hum..."
And still acting...
Minzhi smiled and bent down to stare at her face, "Ye-eun, wasn't it you who decided on the title of this comeback album?"
"Never: End", Never end...
2NE1, their music journey will never end.
Dara looked at Ye-eun who was lying on the ground and said seriously, "This year is Bigbang's tenth anniversary. In two years, it will also be our tenth anniversary. Will they all be serving in the military by then?"
Hearing Dara say that, Ye Eun sat up suddenly, her strong core showing through this movement. Bom looked at her and couldn't help but rub his waist. Oh my god, how could she sit up so suddenly like that?
Ye-eun's eyes suddenly became sharp and her tone was serious: "Yes, our chance has come! What female version of Bigbang? When they are released from military service, let them be called the male version of 2NE1!"
She looked at the resting members and clapped her hands. "Okay, let's continue training! To prepare for our 'taking advantage of the opportunity' in two years! 'Taking advantage of the opportunity', do you understand?"
"Ah, I don't understand, but..." Bom looked at Ye-eun in embarrassment, wondering why this person has so much energy. Their comeback schedule is already busy, but Ye-eun still has the energy to get everyone training.
However, when I think about it, the person in front of me is only 26 years old, while I am already 32 years old. It is normal that I cannot compare with her in energy.
She sighed and looked at CL for help.
CL turned her head and looked at Quan Zhilong, who looked helpless, and deliberately coughed twice and said, "It's exactly five to five. I support you! But how do we distribute it?"
Immersed in the scene of their tenth anniversary "killing all four sides" two years later, Ye Eun raised her hand without hesitation: "Minji vs. Daesung oppa, Dara vs. Dohyun, that bastard, Bom vs. Youngbae oppa, Chaelin vs. TOP with your rap, and as for me, Lee Ye Eun! Hahahaha, G-Dragon, you wait!"
Seeing Kwon Ji-yong's doting smile, CL couldn't help laughing and cleared her throat: "Okay, now's your chance. GD Oppa..."
Yi Eun turned her head suddenly, and after seeing Quan Zhilong raising his eyebrows at her, she touched her nose guiltily, "Mo ah, I said Zhilong must be waiting for me to come home!"
She trotted over to Quan Zhilong, who took the bag and cup that Ye-eun had thrown on the shelf in the practice room, and then took Ye-eun's coat in his hand. He said seriously, "But I heard you say you wanted to 'take advantage of the opportunity'?"
Ye-eun uttered an “Ouch” and pinched her clothes with her fingers, carefully pulling them out. “When did I ever say that Bigbang and 2NE1 are twin groups? Why would we want to take advantage of them?”
If they don't, you may not.
Quan Zhilong held back his laughter and tightly grasped Yien's coat, raising his hand to hook Yien's shoulder: "Li Yien, do you think I will believe you? If you don't explain it clearly today, don't even think about sleeping."
He hooked his arm around Ye-eun and was about to walk out. Ye-eun looked up at Kwon Ji-yong, holding onto the door frame tightly, and turned to the members who were watching the show and shouted, "I want to live in the dormitory today! I have work tomorrow!"
Quan Zhilong looked her up and down, and CL took the opportunity to speak: "I don't have work until tomorrow afternoon, so it's still in time for me to not live in the dormitory."
Asi, traitor! They are all traitors!
Ye-eun looked at the four people waving at her. As she was half-dragged and half-carried out of the practice room by Quan Zhilong, she was still shouting, "No, I haven't showered yet! I can't get in the car like this, I have to go take a shower first!"
Quan Zhilong suppressed his laughter and shook his head: "It's okay, I don't mind."
"……"Why are you, a mysophobia person, always so tolerant of me? Yi Eun was held in the arms of Quan Zhilong in despair, and she wanted to cry but had no tears.
Some members of Winner and ikon huddled in the corner of their practice room and looked outside. They saw senior Ye-eun, who had just returned, being "kidnapped" by senior GD, who was busy on tour. They looked at each other and couldn't help but say enviously, "Wow, the relationship between the seniors is so good, and because they are childhood sweethearts, their love is also blessed by everyone..."
If they were in love...
Several members looked at each other, and some of the Winner members couldn't help but sigh when they thought about what the youngest member had done recently.
Not only did he bring his girlfriend back to the dormitory in front of the other members, he also said things like, "I heard that GD senior and Ye Eun senior moved directly upstairs in the dormitory before."
Can it be the same! ? Do you have the talent of GD senior and the intelligence of Ye Eun senior? Or would you be able to have so many loyal fans even if you didn’t establish a single persona when you debuted like them?
What would happen if the company found out?
All members were worried. That's how a team works. If something happens to one person, everyone will be affected.
It would be great if I could be like my seniors from Bigbang and 2NE1...
They looked at the two men's backs with envy, feeling both envious and uneasy.
At this time, Ye-eun had no idea that an artist in the company was using her and Kwon Ji-yong's behavior to excuse himself. She had been busy with 2NE1's comeback for more than a month.
After more than a month of promotion period ended, it was already August.
Thanks to the fans' strong voting ability and their own strong sound source, 2NE1 won the first place in every program where they entered as a substitute for their comeback this time.
They posted a thank you message almost every two days, and the five of them were in such a joyful mood until the end of the promotion period.
The five members of 2NE1, who had some free time, went to Bigbang's 10th anniversary concert in Seoul on August 20, 2016.
As an audience member sitting in the family seat, Ye-eun held up a crown lamp and watched the impact on the big screen. It was a documentary they shot specifically for the tenth anniversary.
The black and white images plus the special time of today made the fans who were still waiting for the concert to officially begin couldn't help but shed tears.
Ye-eun and the members sat in the family seats, and next to them were the families of the five Bigbang members. Everyone was chatting excitedly in low voices.
At this time ten years ago, Bigbang officially debuted.
Because it is a commemorative concert, the performance will last a little longer than a normal concert. Fans are fully prepared for this more than three-hour performance, and Ye-eun is worried about Kwon Ji-yong who is backstage.
In order to present this memorial concert perfectly, he, who has always been picky about the stage, put in a lot of effort.
When the countdown began to sound in the venue, the screams at the scene almost pierced everyone's eardrums. Several elders covered their ears and looked at the venue filled with more than 60,000 people. The whole view was filled with the sea of crowns, and their eyes were full of pride.
CL looked at Ye-eun who was in a daze with the crown light on her chin, and said in a teasing tone: "Moya, are you still thinking about making them the male version of 2NE1 by our tenth anniversary?"
Dara took a sip of water, and laughed amid the cheers that resounded through the sky. She leaned closer to Ye-eun and said, "In fact, they have long been the number one girl group in YG. Oh my god, I wonder if they will perform "I Love You" today?"
Hearing this, Min-ji and Park Bom laughed, covered their ears slightly and turned their heads away, "Oh my, they are going to play it cool to the end today."
Indeed, because 2NE1 was too busy with their comeback, even Ye-eun hadn’t watched the rehearsal for Bigbang’s 10th anniversary concert. She smiled as she looked at the five people posing behind the light on the stage, and couldn’t help shaking her head.
"Bigbang is on stage, they only think about being cool."
The words that Kwon Ji-yong once said as a joke suddenly appeared in Ye-eun's mind.
The sun behind the light held up a microphone and shouted, "Are You ready?"
TOP responded with a casual “Uh-huh” after him.
Quan Zhilong, who was standing in the middle, raised his hands and held them, stretched in the light and shadow, and then jumped lightly.
The tall and thin figure jumped briskly, and he looked surprisingly cute when he folded his hands and stretched sideways. The members around him were all greeting him seriously, but he, as the captain, seemed relaxed as if he was warming up for the three-hour concert.
None of the five members showed their faces. As soon as the other four members simply greeted them, the fans looked at the five people, and the screams and cheers became louder and louder.
When the fateful musical prelude of "Heaven" sounded, the white clouds and blue sky began to move slightly on the steps that looked like a ladder to heaven and on the large screen surrounding the five people, as beautiful as the real heaven.
Behind the bright lights that made it difficult to see the faces of the people on the stage, Quan Zhilong held up the microphone, curled his lips, and spoke coquettishly to the fans word by word: "Ah~ni~ang~sa~yo~"
This voice and tone were too familiar to Ye-eun. Everyone was screaming because of Kwon Ji-yong's cute voice and way of speaking, but she couldn't help laughing.
G-Dragon xi is a natural idol who is great at providing emotional value to fans. Enjoy the group’s 10th anniversary concert.
Ten years ago, Kwon Ji-yong, who cried with excitement and nervousness until his eyes turned red after his first concert with only a few thousand people, has now become an artist who can stretch easily while standing in a concert with more than 60,000 people.
"Let's go! Zero to ten Final in Seoul!" When Kwon Ji-yong said this while holding the microphone, the light began to change and the figures of five people appeared clearly in front of everyone.
With his hair dyed green, wearing a purple silk jacket and light yellow sunglasses, Quan Zhilong looked around at the fans present with a smile and said sincerely: "Welcome."
Welcome to Bigbang's 10th anniversary finale concert.
Welcome to the world of Bigbang.
