Chapter 104 She pouted at me! She pooh-poohed me!
In the next few days, people would wink at Ye-eun even when she walked in the company, and even when she was going to and from get off work, fans would twist their facial muscles towards her. What was even more frightening was that some people actually started to try to control their facial muscles while doing the dance challenge at the same time.
“Learn to manage facial expressions like an idol by controlling your facial muscles while dancing, and you could be the next idol!” Ye-eun has seen this sentence more than once in various street dance challenges.
In "A Thousand Dollars of Happiness", the market that Ye-eun went to even put up slogans such as "Just do Ye-eun's wink challenge and you can get 12% off on shopping", "This market can carry out the same scraping board promotion as Ye-eun", and "Near-expiring products can enjoy expired product prices for a limited time". At the same time, the market management also contacted YG to obtain portrait authorization for a certain price and printed Ye-eun's face on the discount coupons.
All of a sudden, middle-aged and elderly people who didn’t chase stars suddenly knew this “thrifty” female artist.
Ye-eun, who suddenly became an internet celebrity with two videos and became the "most popular artist among grandpas and aunts" through the show "Ten Thousand Yuan of Happiness", is now at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"They now say that I'm half refined and half plain. Why is my image as a member of a girl group becoming more and more weird?" Ye-eun invited a few friends to sit in a coffee shop. There were other customers in the semi-private shop. Even though they saw that the table was full of artists, they were very polite and did not disturb them.
"There was also the action of me raising my legs high in a variety show before. No one discussed it at the time. Recently, some people suddenly said that I was able to be so flexible because I usually walk like this!" Ye Eun was speechless. "Ah, if it wasn't for dancing practice, who would put their feet on their head!"
Hearing what Ye-eun said, Shin Se-kyung burst out laughing. Before, as she watched her friends getting on the right track one by one, she was actually a little envious and a little sad. However, seeing Ye-eun's sad face, she was suddenly amused again, "Even the comments section of my videos these days are suddenly asking me if I have eaten the food you made."
Her work seemed to have reached a bottleneck after 2006. When she had nothing to do, Shin Se-kyung would film some clips of her daily life and post them online to keep herself popular.
And because of her video, it seems that she got the opportunity. She just passed the interview for a TV series called "High Kick Through the Roof" these two days. This drama is the second part of "High Kick Through the Roof" which was a hit in 2006. She is confident that this may be a turning point in her career.
Ye-eun thought about her friend's video style, then thought about the two videos she had posted, and sighed deeply, "Your video looks very warm, mine..."
Each one is funnier than the other.
The two girls were chatting, and Kwon Ji-yong and Lee Joo-hyuk also gathered together and talked in a low voice.
Because he was about to return, Quan Zhilong wore a hat to cover his newly dyed dark brown hair. He took the perfume that Li Zhuhe brought back from Japan and stuffed it directly into the small bag that Ye Eun carried with her. "Thanks."
Li Zhuhe glanced at him, then lowered his head and took out the ring and clothes that Quan Zhilong asked him to bring from his bag. The clothes are from Bape, a Japanese brand that Quan Zhilong likes very much, and the ring is designed by a Japanese handmade silver jewelry store. "Hey, when I bought this, my girlfriend thought I bought it for her."
Yien glanced at Kwon Ji-yong, who was putting a ring on his hand. The irregular ring seemed even more special on his well-defined hand. Quan Zhilong lowered his head and smiled, "Is that senior not angry?"
Thinking of his girlfriend, Li Zhuhe's sharp features became gentle, "No, she smiled after she knew it was bought for you."
The internet is unanimously pessimistic about this couple with a huge gap in status. Lee Joo Hyuk doesn't know what the future will be like, but at least he knows that they are very happy now.
Ye-eun glanced at him. The brother she had known since childhood was always cold and reserved, but he was incredibly gentle when he mentioned his girlfriend.
"What about you two?" Lee Joo Hyuk glanced at Ye Eun and Kwon Ji Yong. The two have been getting more and more popular recently. Any of Ye Eun's performances can be imitated by the whole nation, and Kwon Ji Yong also caused heated discussions because of the photos of him with drooping eyes, cold brows and fashionable clothes at the airport a few days ago.
There was even an unprecedented term called "airport fashion". All of a sudden, countless artists began to care about what they wear at the airport, and some even specifically asked reporters to take photos of them at the airport.
Even the love affair of a small model like me who no one cares about will attract attention, not to mention these two artists whose every move is being watched.
Quan Zhilong turned the ring and adjusted it to a satisfactory position before showing it off to Yien. His hand was gently patted and he laughed instead, "What's wrong with us?"
"Aren't you afraid of being scolded?" Li Zhuhe glanced at the two of them, "And your company agrees."
Ye-eun glanced at Kwon Ji-yong, and he actually smiled as well. "Of course I don't agree, but what can the company do to us? Didn't they do anything when SE7EN's relationship was made public?"
The president has a strong desire for control but is also arrogant. Even after Bigbang's "Lies" became a hit, the president already started to feel complacent before Bigbang had time to feel proud. Sometimes, when he looked at the way the president looked at them, he suspected that in the president's eyes, they were like ants.
So what if the ants make some noise? So what if the ants hate me? They can never escape from my control.
So he doesn't care how Ye Eun treats him, so he doesn't care about Kwon Ji-yong's attempt to run away with the members, and he even doesn't care that much about the promotion of the artists under the company now.
But Quan Zhilong thought, they are not ants.
It's not that he is complacent. The current company is almost entirely supported by Bigbang and 2NE1, and he is confident that he can make Bigbang better and better with his own songs.
Just like he and Yi-eun had agreed at the beginning, they would make themselves stronger, so strong that the president would find out that the ant in his eyes had turned into an elephant that he could not control.
There was a rare arrogance in Kwon Ji-yong's eyes, a look that Lee Joo-hyuk had only seen when he was discussing music. Even Shin Sekyung was surprised to see Kwon Ji-yong like this. After all, he is a hip-hop artist, and someone who is always gentle in front of his friends can show such a proud and confident side.
Lee Joo Hyuk couldn't help but laugh, "I underestimated you." Come to think of it, if Kwon Ji Yong didn't have his own pride and ambition, how could he have made it all the way from a child star to S/M and then to YG.
Ye-eun's eyes widened. "Ah, Quan Zhilong, you said I was an ant?!"
Quan Zhilong curled his lips, "Yes, in the eyes of the president, you must be the most noisy ant, and I am the one who makes trouble with you."
"Puchi." Shin Sekyung laughed, and the next second Ye Eun stood up suddenly, and the coffee beside her accidentally spilled and dripped onto Kwon Ji-yong.
The four of them were stunned at the same time, and the guests who were peeking in from time to time were also stunned.
The next day, the two topic kings once again topped the news list.
[Four people date, GD was splashed with coffee! ]
Kwon Ji-yong: "..." When he saw several news reports saying that the reason why Ye-eun poured poison on him was because he came out with her rumored boyfriend Lee Joo-hyuk, he was stunned.
Does that mean his sexual orientation has changed just because of a ring? He flipped down and saw a news report saying that he was put in a sack after leaving the cafe.
"Ji Long, you'll be back in a few days, don't make this kind of news again." Yang Hyun Suk looked at Kwon Ji Long, and the skin on his neck and face began to wrinkle when he smiled, "You and Ye Eun are my most important children, don't let messy news hurt yourselves."
"Yes, we will be careful." Kwon Ji-yong looked respectful, sitting opposite Yang Hyun-suk with his hands politely placed on his knees. He couldn't help but laugh when he thought about how the president said in the debut documentary that Yongbae was his favorite child, and then turned around and told others that if they didn't work harder, they would become like Yongbae.
Now they are the two who make the most money and are the most valued children in the president's heart, but tomorrow they may become the people he hates the most.
He was emotionally agitated at first because of the president's words, but now he seems to no longer care about it at all because of Ye-eun. Quan Zhilong smiled politely: "We will perform well in this comeback."
He gently closed the door of the president's office. The Kwon Ji-Yong who used to be moved by a simple YG party seemed to be slowly growing into G-Dragon who was not influenced by others.
On August 8, 2008, just a few days after the ridiculous rumor that GD was splashed with coffee and then beaten spread on the Internet, Bigbang returned with the album "Stand Up".
"Congratulations to Bigbang's 'Day by Day' for winning first place!" The MC handed the trophy to Kwon Ji-yong.
Quan Zhilong bowed and took it with a smile. After thanking him, he quickly passed the microphone to Taiyang.
The ribbon floated downwards, and the microphone was passed from Taiyang's hand to two people and then to Jin Duxuan's hand.
In the end, it was the youngest member who gave the acceptance speech.
Kwon Ji-yong held the trophy, and during the encore he couldn't help but look down at the audience, where the VIPs were cheering for them. He couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. It was a sad song, but he sang it with a smile throughout.
Because she was too busy to attend all the competitions, she only participated in Inkigayo, M Countdown and Music Bank and her title song "Day by Day" won eleven first places in one month.
Bigbang, which released another hit song following "Lies" and "Last Goodbye", instantly took the Korean Internet by storm.
Throughout the year, from 2NE1's "I don't care" winning five consecutive championships, to Taeyang's solo song "Only Looking at You", to Bigbang's entire group's "Day by Day" and "Heaven".
For more than half a year, YG has been showing its presence in a high-profile manner. Everyone realized that the S/M opponent they were jokingly talking about seemed to really become an amazing monster company.
Kwon Ji-yong was naturally happy that the song he wrote won eleven first places. As usual, he went to a friend's club in the circle to celebrate. In his ears was the sound of DJs so strong that it stimulated his heart, and in front of him was the light so dim that he couldn't see people's faces. Kwon Ji-yong lowered his head, holding the wine glass, and suddenly laughed out loud.
Taiyang gave him a confused look, "What's wrong?"
Quan Zhilong shook his head, his eyes full of ambition, "It's okay, I just thought that we are one step closer to the top."
"...Yes." Taeyang raised his glass and clinked it with Kwon Ji-yong, his eyes curved, "We Bigbang will keep going."
The club was crowded with people and dimly lit. Quan Zhilong was sitting alone in a corner holding a glass of wine. He would look down at his phone from time to time. When he saw the man replying to his message, he would happily raise the corners of his mouth and take a sip of wine when he was happy.
Yien has no plans these days and is staying in the dormitory to do exercises. I originally didn't want to pay attention to Quan Zhilong, but the frequency of his messages became faster and faster, and the number of words became more and more.
He started by showing off his eleven first places and said that he was a production genius. Later he started saying that Bigbang was going to become the top boy group, and finally he started to make completely incomprehensible sentences.
Drunk...Ye'en thought for sure and called. Sure enough, the other party answered the phone drunkenly, and his already thin voice became even more milky, "Ye'en, saranghei, saranghei!"
Quan Zhilong held the phone to his ear and shouted loudly as if to cover the noise in the club, "Did you hear that? Sarangheyo!"
Yien: “…” How drunk are you? She squinted her eyes and shook her head, biting the tip of her pen unconsciously. When the pen entered her mouth, she realized something was wrong and immediately spit it out. The strange taste of the pen in her mouth made her frown and say "Pooh, pooh, pooh" a few times.
The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped for a moment, and then Quan Zhilong's aggrieved voice came out, "You spit on me!"
The phone call was hung up so quickly that Ye-eun was stunned. She called again, but she didn't expect to be hung up...
Just hung up on me! Yi Eun widened her eyes, stood up suddenly and said, "Wait, Quan Zhilong!"
On the club side, by the time Da Sheng discovered that his captain was drunk, almost everyone had gathered in this corner.
Quan Zhilong's cheeks turned red and his eyes were moist after drinking. He took out his own money from his wallet and forced it into the pocket of a boy who looked panicked.
"Oh Mo, it's okay to take it! This is for you!" Quan Zhilong said seriously, pushing the banknotes in his hand over again, with a tone of grievance, "No one wants my money anyway!"
The boy was a newcomer in YG's actor department. He was so panicked that he was scared when the company's top boss suddenly gave him money in public.
Brother, even though you are handsome, talented and rich, I really don’t have that kind of hobby!
The people around him looked surprised, and after looking at each other, they were all shocked. No way? Is the previous rumor about a four-person date true? GD really accepted a ring from a boy, so Ye Eun threw coffee on him?
There was too much information and everyone stood there staring at it.
There was chaos here, even Taiyang and Jin Duxuan noticed it. They hurried over and saw this scene. Taiyang raised his hand to his forehead helplessly. No way, could it be that Zhilong likes to give money to other people after he gets drunk?
Quan Zhilong lowered his head sadly, and a few seconds later he took out his card from his wallet again, "Here, all for you! She spit on me anyway! I won't give her my money!"
Jin Duxuan's pupils dilated, and he rushed forward to hold down Quan Zhilong's hand, "Brother! You can't give this to me, you can't give this to me!"
"..." Quan Zhilong was drunk and dazed. Every time he got drunk, his nerves would become excited and his chatterbox nature could no longer be hidden. "Why can't I give it to you? I have money, Du Xuan, how much do you want? I'll give it all to you!"
He lowered his head and tried to take money out of his wallet. He took out a 10,000 won note and squinted at the dim light. "Is 50,000 enough?"
"This is ten thousand! No, this is not the point." Jin Duxuan turned his head and looked at Taiyang. The two of them held down Quan Zhilong's hand together and fixed him on the sofa.
Daesung and TOP sent everyone away from this corner, "Hey, it's okay, GD hyung is drunk, everyone continue to play."
"Ah, why are you holding me down? Can't I just give you some money?" Being held down by two people, Quan Zhilong twisted and struggled to break free from their restraints. Drunk men were terribly strong, and when they refused to take the money, he simply threw the money in his hand out while crying.
The money floated down in front of him. Jin Duxuan gritted his teeth and held it down. He wanted to knock him out but he didn't dare. He could only use force with a look of despair on his face.
Still thinking about handing out money, Taeyang sighed, “If you keep doing this, Ye-eun will scold you tomorrow.”
His struggling movement suddenly stopped, and he leaned his face sideways on the sofa, aggrieved and about to cry, "She already spit on me! She spit on me!"
Taiyang and Jin were confused, "What's that?"
However, it seemed that these were the only words in Quan Zhilong's mind. He sniffed and repeated, "She spit at me, wuwuwu, she spit at me!"
“…”Taikyo rolled his eyes and said, forget it, just go find Yeen directly.
When he took out his cell phone, he sighed. If he went to see Yien so late at night, he would definitely get a sour look from her tomorrow.
However, before he could make the call, Ye-eun called first, "Young Bae Oppa, I'm at the door, come and pick me up."
Dong Young-bae led Ye-eun underground and glanced at her expression, "He said you spit on him, what's going on?"
Yien pursed her lips, her eyes full of speechlessness, "I didn't spit. No, I spit, but I didn't spit at him."
"…Forget it, I don't want to know. He just went crazy and gave money to strangers. Please try to persuade him."
Give money! ? Yien took a deep breath, this prodigal son!
As soon as she entered the underground, the deafening sound of music reached her ears. Yeen frowned. It was her first time in a club. She stood there to adapt to the dark and noisy environment before continuing to follow the sun.
Until a dark corner, she saw Quan Zhilong lying on the sofa. His hair was disheveled and his eyes were dazed, but because his hair was straight this time, he looked like a little puppy that had suffered a great injustice.
So this is what it looks like when a person is really drunk. Ye Eun tilted her head, stood in front of Quan Zhilong, and kicked his foot with her foot. The sound was neither loud nor soft, but in a club like this, it was drowned out by the music. "Quan Zhilong, are you drunk?"
Obviously, the bar was very noisy and Quan Zhilong was still drunk, but he seemed to have heard what Yien said. He turned his head and buried his face in the sofa again, "I'm not drunk! I'm not drunk! Where's my money?"
Seeing Ye-eun coming, the other members of Bigbang breathed a sigh of relief, quickly left this place of trouble, and stood not far away.
Yien crossed her arms over her chest, lowered her head and curled her lips: "Yeah, where did your money go?"
