Chapter 87 Chapter 87 make her fl...
On September 10th, RIOT DOLLS officially announced their comeback, releasing their comeback song "Speed"—a catchy, up-tempo, playful hip-hop and R&B track. Jeon Seong-ae also finally returned to Korea. After nearly four months of planning and preparation, Moon Eun-joo had already secured media and television channels for the RD.
While some old guard members were still unhappy with Quan Xing Ai's table-turning behavior, they couldn't monopolize the industry, couldn't ban Neon, and couldn't exclude Neon from promotions. Quan Xing Ai's year-long exposure, her nickname of "melodic genius," and her historic debut in the US have all brought those in the industry who disliked her but couldn't stop her to their knees.
Not only is she closely connected to Quan Zhilong, but their rise to fame and bloody events are surprisingly similar. Is this the path to genius? Why do they feel like those in the industry and media have become the villains on their road to success? Hence, a wave of fence-sitters who, after awakening and unable to defeat them, join in. "You're awesome, you have high traffic, so I'll just flatter you."
RD's comeback track, "Kairos," has been a constant companion to the charts since its release. These two songs consistently top every chart. Just look at the producers of "Kairos" and their comeback track, "Speed."
Composer: SA Lyricist: Yoon Yeon-jin lumi, Jeon Star-loved Sarah, Park Jin-moon iris, Kim Eun-mi venus Arranger: SA&JY.
The lists are very similar, so they are just beating themselves up! The first and second place are both these two people, is this a kind of peak meeting?
People often have negative feelings about ordinary idol relationships, believing them to be a distraction from their work. However, when two top talents get together, everyone changes their tune and declares them a perfect match. This is the case with Kwon Ji-yong's All Star Love. While he hasn't publicly announced his relationship, he hasn't denied his close relationship as a musical confidant and creative partner. As a result, the two have finally given birth to CPF, a partnership that has lived up to expectations.
With their recent comebacks, their presence has increased, and their mentions of each other have steadily grown, solidifying their ranks. Lately, I've been seeing them frequently on their SNS accounts, and they're easy to spot: just the dragon and star emojis tell you they're CPF.
On September 26, "Speed" pak exceeded 200 times and the music stage also achieved full championship. The four girls boarded a flight to Milan, Italy. Traveling with them was Kwon Ji-yong who was also attending the concert.
Thanks to Xingai's relationship, the other three members of RD have become more familiar with senior GD. The producers of this comeback song are GD and Xingai. The three of them finally experienced what a devil producer x2 is when recording in the studio. It turned out that An Xiaoxie really didn't lie at that time. It is really scary to see these two people sitting together in the producer's position!
However, thanks to their strictness, everyone in RD feels their vocals and professional skills have improved significantly. They will also be releasing their own album next year, and after studying with their two "teachers," the three of them have benefited greatly and gained a lot of creative skills.
To be honest, the three teammates were not without jealousy of Xing Ai, but they grew up with Xing Ai, watching her work hard to achieve results without any family, but still could not withstand the malicious interpretations and those terrible public opinions. If it were them, they would probably not be able to withstand it either. So Xing Ai was able to be reborn, transform into a creator, and use her strength to open new doors for herself and the team. The teammates felt that Xing Ai deserved the highest popularity, and it was really not easy for her.
Then, seeing how decisively she acted, directly suing the media, internet trolls, and even people from the three major publishing houses, and confronting the uncrowned king of the media head-on, her teammates all thought she was amazing. She also improved the situation of Zhenli and Helaoni, and completed another counterattack overseas despite being softly banned.
The three of them gathered together and watched Jeon Star Love and Kwon Ji-yong walking side by side under the bright Italian sun. They were handsome men and beautiful women, but the two of them woke up on the plane and started discussing creation and concert details. In addition to today's F1, there is also RD's first concert next year, such as special effects, atmosphere, sound, etc.
These two are too workaholics...
The three RDs shook their heads in horror and whispered together, "No wonder Hyun-ho let go of Sung-ae and gave her to a new manager, and Eun-joo doesn't really care about Sung-ae anymore."
"Mo? Why?" Eun-mi asked in confusion.
"Stupid Eunmi, look at these two people, they are so proactive..." Yanzhen sighed.
"That's right. Ever since Xing Ai decided to start a 'war', she's been giving it her all! Not only is she responsible for every detail of her own album, but our next one is also in the works!"
"Sure enough, Xing Ai is still the workaholic that she was when I met her as a kid. I really miss her."
All of them were busy with everything, no matter how big or small, and Quan Xingai, who couldn't sit still or stop, was still seriously communicating with G-Dragon about the schedule of the F1 concert.
The two chatted all the way until they arrived at the scene and Bean Pod Cat hugged her and pressed her into her broad and majestic chest. Only then did Quan Xingai let go of his perfectionist nerves and start socializing.
"If I had known we could get along so well, I should have mentioned our duet when we were discussing concerts. How about we perform together on the same stage at Coachella next year?" "Best Friend" has been a huge success, becoming a worldwide hit. It's hard to say whether it will win an award or not, but it will definitely be nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rap.
"It's a deal. How about I appear as your guest at Coachella for free? Isn't that nice of me?" Quan Xingai patted Doja's shoulder with full of loyalty.
"Ah ha, you are really nice. I made a mistake in making friends with you. Ur a real bad bitch." After the two chatted, they took a close photo together and posted it on SNS.
"Seeing Nuna and Soja socializing always makes me feel like I've gone back to the past. Nuna was born to be a superstar. Even if she had to start over again, she would still be back in the spotlight where she belongs." Seeing Xingai turning on the social mode, her expression and accent became like those of an LA cheerleader, Quan Zhilong felt a little emotional.
"Don't make that expression. I'm not forced to do that. In fact, I can't even tell the difference between the social mask and my true personality. The mark of growing up is too heavy and it's hard to change. You see, I grew up in Japan during elementary school, so I always like to face everyone with full energy and positivity. I went to the United States during puberty and debuted early, so it has become my instinct to change my form as the environment changes." Quan Xingai has accepted all of herself, and now she is more self-satisfied.
"Or maybe I was too obsessed with separating Kwon Ji-yong and GD. Actually, that was all my fault, right?" He also expressed his feelings. As time passed, life healed him. Seizing that fateful moment, he also better integrated his Ji-yong part with the GD part.
"Yes, both are you, you in different states. Since you have been a star for so long, we will also be stars in the future. Once you have decided on this path, then accept it and make yourself more relaxed and free. Of course, relatively free."
Quan Zhilong raised his brackets. In fact, the theme of his next regular album is exactly this, the dialogue between the past and the present, surpassing himself and becoming a 'superman'.

The F1 concert, featuring Kwon Ji-yong and RD, took place on Friday night. After afternoon and evening practice, everyone relaxed at 9:00 PM. It was still afternoon, so there was still plenty of time, so the RD members were free to wander around. It was their first experience with F1, and they were completely captivated.
Italy is undoubtedly the most exciting venue in Europe. The entire Monza was immersed in a sea of red Ferraris. The concert was held in the nearby Monza National Park, which was shaded by green trees and looked like a fairy tale. All day long, DJs played passionate electronic dance music to the fullest.
Kwon Ji-yong and Seong-ae ran to the Ferrari garage. Charles and Hamilton, who hadn't seen each other for a few months, looked in a good mood. The home fans gave them a happy mood. The four chatted for a while in the garage. Kwon Ji-yong and Seong-ae did not disturb the team's practice and meetings too much.
Afterwards the two went to see friends from other teams. Quan Xing Ai met many of the drivers' girlfriends, each of them was absolutely beautiful. When they returned to the stage area in Monza, it was a completely different world. The track paddock was filled with completely fanatical die-hard Ferrari fans, who held red smoke and yellow and black prancing horse flags and kept shouting and singing.
The stage area is for casual players. Most of the people here are young people who come to watch the concert. Most of them are fashionable and youthful. They come from all over the world. At a glance, you can see many Asian faces. Although K-pop is becoming more and more popular around the world, there are still more Asian fans.
Lu Xiaomi, who studied abroad in Italy, is a K-pop fan. She and her friends are all about broad-based fandom. Having heard that GD and RD would be performing at the Monza concert, they bought three-day passes early and were already there before 5 PM. Monza Park is beautiful, and Xiaomi and a few Italian classmates sat on the lawn, surrounded by young people like her. The atmosphere was like a music festival—high energy!
Then Lu Xiaomi's fellow villager Linzi asked her to accompany her to the restroom. They wandered around in a big circle until they reached an unfamiliar corner. Then Linzi suddenly said excitedly, "Oh my god! Are those two figures in front of us GD and Xingai!!!"
"What the hell? Where is he? Why can't I see him?" Lu Xiaomi got excited. Following her friend's hand, she saw two people walking towards her not far away. There were also several tall bodyguards following them. One of them looked particularly familiar. Wasn't it Brother Tiger? Even if Lu Xiaomi wasn't a fan of GD, she would recognize this famous bodyguard!
"It's true!" Lu Xiaomi and Linzi were excitedly holding their phones and preparing to take pictures when the two real people got very close. The bodyguard stepped forward to stop the filming, but was stopped by Quan Zhilong with a smile.
"Korean?" The cheerful Quan Xingai said something in Korean.
Lu Xiaomi didn’t understand but accidentally replied, “We are from the flower-growing industry, Xingai, we like you very much!” She opened her mouth but was so nervous that she spoke in Italian.
"Thank you guys, don't you like GD?" Jeon Seong-ae said the first half of the sentence in Italian, then switched to half-standard Chinese for the second half. She hadn't practiced properly in a while, and her accent seemed a little strange, unsure if she was speaking correctly.
"Wow! Xing Ai can speak Chinese! No, you can speak Italian too!!! I like both of you! I came here just for you!" Lu Xiaomi is also a social expert, excited and thrilled. Linzi was completely happy and stupid, she couldn't even sing a song and could only support the main character excitedly.
"Thank you and enjoy your F1 weekend."
"Let's cheer for Ferrari together!" GD, who always had a gentle and gentlemanly smile, also spoke and raised his fist.
"Thank you, thank you, okay, okay...Um, can you sign for us?" Lu Xiaomi was very excited and asked before they left. Linzi also nodded vigorously with an expectant look on her face.
Quan Xingai nodded without hesitation, "Come on, let's take a photo."
She kindly pulled the two girls over to stand in the middle and put her arm around Linzi's shoulders affectionately. Quan Zhilong stood next to Lu Xiaomi and gave her standard bracket smile.
After the group had completely walked away, Linzi pulled Lu Xiaomi and screamed excitedly. "How lucky!" This was too lucky! She had just had this chance encounter and was in the photo with Lu Xiaomi?
"I'm not dreaming, am I?"
"These two are such a good match. Linzi, don't you think they're meant to be together?"
"I didn't pay attention to anything. I just thought Xingai and GD were both so beautiful and they smelled so good!" Linzi felt dizzy.
Lu Xiaomi was still holding her phone and looking at the photos. The two stars in the photos even had similar brackets at the corners of their mouths. Xingai's dimples were even sweeter. Quan Zhilong still had mint-colored hair, and under Quan Xingai's hat was a head of long hair with a pink and purple gradient, which looked very beautiful under the bright sunshine.
"Xiaomi, I'm going to become a die-hard fan!" Linzi could still feel Xingai's embrace on her shoulder, and she finally felt the happiness offline!
"There's more exciting things for you to do tonight! Take your time, let's go find Mia and the others, eat something first, and then reserve seats in advance to get a seat in the first row!" Lu Xiaomi was actually also a fan, but she pretended not to say anything, and put her arm around her friend's arm and pulled her back to find her friends.
After grabbing pizza and espresso, they returned to the concert venue early, securing seats in the first and second rows. Surrounded by enthusiastic fans, both Asian and Western, the crowd gathered as the evening wore on. The concert began with a few Italian rock bands, and the DJ and bands quickly transformed the venue into a disco-style party. Everyone was swept up in a sea of excitement, with Prancing Horse flags flying everywhere.
Then at 9 o'clock, the stage went dark, followed by a dazzling light show. As the drums and music started, the big screen began to flash glittering gold, which was the black and gold of RIOT DOLLS's support color Queen Bee. Everyone started screaming, the background music gradually became louder, and the four shadows were projected and enlarged, and then the full and infectious prelude of the comeback song "Speed" sounded.
The four members of RD appeared, well prepared. Lumi Yoon Yeon-jin opened the show with a rap in both English and Italian. And then, surprisingly, it was all in English—Quan Xing Ai even adapted it for the show! The catchy chorus, "lalala," was changed to "forza forza" in Italian. By the second take, the entire audience was humming along. The song's simple and catchy tune immediately garnered enthusiastic feedback from the audience.
Lu Xiaomi was practically going crazy. I never knew watching RD live was so exciting! These four were amazing! Especially Quan Xing Ai, she was a complete superstar, so gleaming it was hard to take your eyes off her! RD sang and danced through four songs, then the stage darkened again. After the screaming, somewhat exhausted audience gradually quieted down, an ethereal and melodious a cappella performance of Xing Ai's "Love and the Sea" began.
Then the lights came on, and Quan Xingai was alone on the stage. The piano played a beautiful yet sad melody. She held a microphone and sang solo with her eyes closed. Then her voice gradually faded away. With a dense and cool rhythm, Quan Xingai threw away the microphone and reappeared on the stage holding an electric guitar.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Lu Xiaomi's voice is hoarse! It's actually a rock version of "Love and the Sea"! It's so moving! This woman, with just an electric guitar, could be as good as a whole band! The scene is once again in a frenzy, and All Star Love brings Monza into the ocean of rock.
"Ahhhh Xiaomi, look at the band in the back!!! The bassist is GD!!!!" Linzi pulled Lu Xiaomi's hand and yelled into her ear.
Lu Xiaomi was almost going crazy, completely immersed in it. After hearing Linzi's words, she quickly turned her phone over and took a closer look. It was indeed true! Wearing a hat but revealing the gorgeous and beautiful lower half of his face, who else could this comic-book guy be but GD!
"Crazy, I'm captivated too! This is so exciting!! I have to go to her concert!" Lu Xiaomi jumped up and down and shouted, waving her hands and shouting to the stage, "Sarah!!! Ahhhh Star Love!!"
All Stars Love sang two solos, and when the prelude to the third song, "Unlimited," sounded, everyone was excited again! The whole Monza fell into a frenzy of carnival and screams. When All Stars Love finished the first rap, he raised the microphone and shouted:
"Next king GD!"
Kwon Ji-yong came out with a microphone, singing rap calmly. He was wearing a yuppie suit jacket and sunglasses on his nose. He walked to the center of the stage with his signature relaxed yet powerful aura that made him control the whole audience. Jeon Byul-ae had already thrown off her motorcycle suit, leaving behind an F1 short vest with the prancing horse logo. Sweat was flowing down her neck, reflecting a charming glow.
The two looked at each other and smiled excitedly. Although it was their first time on the same stage, they had a great understanding of each other. They also rearranged the song "Unlimited" and incorporated samples of the roar of the F1 engine as a rhythm foundation, making it sound more explosive and more in line with the atmosphere of the scene.
Beneath the stage were tens of thousands of car and music fans from around the world, their faces painted with team flags, waving glow sticks and cell phone lights, a sea of restless excitement. The passionate music ignited the first climax of the racing weekend, a truly unique feast blending the passion of speed with the energy of music.
As the atmosphere on the scene became more and more enthusiastic, Quan Zhilong naturally extended his hand, and Quan Xingai smiled and took her hand. He pulled her to the front of the stage, and amid the flying ribbons and gushing flames, he sang with tens of thousands of people in the audience:
"I'll make her fly! Rapid fire, burning body" [Edited]
[Crazy, the typhoon of All Star Love is absolutely huge! ]
【I really want to see it live! 】
[A passerby who saw the scene on Instagram ran into Xing Ai and Long this afternoon! Ahhhhh, what a perfect match!]
[These two are together all the time! What close friends? They're clearly a couple! !]
[I have to get a spot at the RD concert next year, I can’t wait! ]
I'm going to steal Coachella's! Aa ...
I saw the photos too! This F1 concert felt like a music festival! It was so exciting!
[It’s a shame that the collaboration song between Star Love and Doujiamao wasn’t released when it was confirmed, otherwise we could have heard the live version of Best Friend! ]
[Bean Pod Cat is on Sunday, and Star Love is on Friday, what a pity! ]
Jeon Seong-ae and Kwon Ji-yong completed their work on the first day, so they started their F1 viewing journey in the next few days. However, this time their popularity was much greater than at Imola at the beginning of the year. Even in the VIP area, they met many fans and cross-industry bosses who wanted to discuss cooperation.
The teammates also expanded their network, with Eun-mi even exchanging phone numbers with McLaren drivers. Many love stories and romantic moments unfolded in corners unnoticed by Star Love. For the teammates, Star Love brought RD back to life, but the future of their individual careers was a matter of their own striving.
Eunmi is transforming into a more professional OST singer, Jinwen is now a popular idol MC and a regular on many variety shows, and Yanzhen has the most potential for overseas expansion. She is also in contact with Universal Music and will gradually develop overseas in the future.
Jeon Seong-ae also met Terry, who told the couple that Charles was launching his own ice cream brand and invited them to film a commercial with him. Since it was their duty to help a friend, Jeon Seong-ae and Kwon Ji-yong readily agreed. Ferrari also formally proposed a collaboration with Kwon Ji-yong, even considering launching a co-branded Ferrari sports car with G-Dragon. The color red always complements G-Dragon, and with the daisy symbolizing G-Dragon, Ferrari believed this collaboration would boost Ferrari's somewhat flagging East Asian business.
In the Sunday race, Charles finally won the first place in his home stadium. The whole Monza became a sea of carnival. The concert on the last day was the Bean Pod Cat show. All Star Love, Kwon Ji-yong and all the drivers who had finished the race came to the concert stage and danced and had fun with tens of thousands of spectators on the lawn.
Doujiaomao was on full blast, even bringing Xinghai up from the stage to sing "Best Friend" a cappella. The song went viral, with the entire Monza National Park singing along. It was a truly unique and incredibly enjoyable experience. At the end of the concert, all the drivers and guests joined the stage, toasting Ferrari with champagne. It was a perfect ending and the most unforgettable moment of the entire September All-Star Love.
On this still hot September night in Italy, everyone is flying and everyone is burning.
