Chapter 183 On the influence of Lee Ji-eun's concert
IU’s live singing was very stable, she controlled the venue very well, and the entire performance was flawless, making her a walking CD.
For some popular songs, she would consciously guide fans and audiences to sing along, which greatly boosted the atmosphere.
Soon, an hour passed.
When Lee Ji-eun changed into a white fairy dress and went on stage again, the scene became lively again.
Speaking of which, Lee Ji-eun has been consciously trying to change her style and image since 2015.
After all, people get old one day, and they can’t be cute all their lives.
Even now, Lee Ji-eun has cut her hair short to highlight her feminine capability, and her clothing choices are also moving towards a mature style.
But maybe her cute image is too deeply rooted in people's hearts, no matter how sexy she wears or how beautiful her look is.
Whenever she changes into new clothes and appears on stage at a concert, the fans in the audience will just shout “Ouni, so cute” or “IU is so cute”.
To be honest, when IU heard the praise that she least wanted to hear on the stage, she was somewhat broken.
But in fact, the reason why the sexy and mature style is not suitable for her is related to her own conditions.
She didn't dare to wear something as revealing as Hyun-A, nor could she dance as sexually suggestive as Sun-Mi, and the most important thing was... her breasts were small.
This is also the fans' call to tell Li Zhien to be herself again...
After singing and dancing for an hour, Lee Ji-eun's battery was running low and she needed to chat with her fans for a while to recover.
At this time, the [KISS Snap Shot] segment that often appears in concerts came.
The first couple to appear on the three giant screens was a couple wearing baseball caps and masks.
The two men obviously didn't expect that the director could pick them out among 50,000 people. They were a little overwhelmed and lowered their hats.
"You two are not a couple, can you please change the couple?"
She covered herself so tightly while watching a concert, it was obvious that she didn't want to be discovered by others.
Lee Ji-eun, who has been in the entertainment industry for 8 years, knows a lot. She could tell at a glance that this couple was definitely entertainers, so she quickly excused them.
The director was also very sensible and moved around to capture shots of other couples.
At this time, Jin Qixuan, who was watching from the audience, felt that the eyes of the man and woman just now seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember who they were for a moment.
Out of curiosity, Jin Qixuan stopped recording with the camera in his hand, turned on the playback and froze to the scene just now, observing it carefully.
After looking for a while, Jin Qixuan finally recognized them. Aren’t these Ryu Junyeol and Lee Hye-ri?
Ah! No wonder they said they were going to do something together! Before Jin Qixuan could send them a text message to tease them, he was called away by Hunter who came over with his back bent.
Kim Ki-hyeon handed the camera to Yoo In-na and followed Hunt to the backstage of the concert.
"What's wrong, Brother Hunt?"
"Jie Eun asked you to wear the cotton candy doll costume she designed and go on stage to perform with her for a while."
Looking at the cute doll costume, Jin Qixuan's face was full of rejection, but Hunter had already guessed the result and continued:
"Oh, that's right. Jieun also said that if you refuse, she will be so angry that she won't know what to do."
Good boy, I'm just good boy...
Under the pressure of U-style boxing, Jin Qixuan had no choice but to compromise.
Anyway, after putting on the doll costume, no one can recognize me, and I can also do some actions that I can't do normally, releasing my true nature. It's quite relaxing just thinking about it.
Jin Qixuan put on a cotton candy doll costume and went to the side stage to wait for the page.
At this time, the KISS segment captured on the big screen has ended, and Lee Ji-eun is playing the human wave game with her fans.
At that time, her eyes swept over Jin Qixuan, and she called out to the fans to stop and waved at Jin Qixuan.
After receiving the greeting, Jin Qixuan climbed up the stairs and walked towards Li Zhien.
Since it was his first time wearing such a heavy doll costume and he was not used to it yet, Jin Qixuan could hardly see the road under his feet. In addition, he was a little nervous facing a scene of 50,000 people for the first time, and he tripped while climbing the stairs.
From the perspective of fans below the stage, the doll kowtowed to Lee Ji-eun as soon as she came on stage.
Noticing Jin Qixuan's stupid look, Li Zhien laughed without hiding her laughter:
"Let me introduce myself to everyone. This is me...hahahahaha..."
Compared to Lee Ji-eun who was standing there with her hands on her hips like a big boss and laughing at Kim Ki-hyeon, the dancers on the stage and the staff in the audience hurriedly came up to help him up and asked if he was hurt.
Jin Qixuan waved his hand to indicate that everything was fine.
Although it was a bit embarrassing just now, it was not completely embarrassing. After all, except for Hunter and Lee Ji-eun, no one knew that the person inside the doll was Kim Ki-hyeon.
When Jin Qixuan walked in front of Li Zhien, the latter raised her hand to hold the doll's chin, and said proudly: "I made this cotton candy doll specially for this concert. I designed it myself. How about it, isn't it cute?"
"Wow~"
The fans cheered respectfully.
"Well, Marshmallow-kun, say hello to everyone~"
Jin Qixuan subconsciously wanted to reach out for the microphone, but suddenly found that he had no hands... so he had to raise his arms and wave to the audience.
"Well, please enjoy the song "Merry Christmas in Advance" which is a must-sing song every Christmas~"
"Wow~"
Along with the cheers of fans, "snowflakes" floated down from the stage, and three huge electronic screens showed the background image of the Christmas tree.
As the prelude sounded, the dancer took the elk hairpin and put it on Li Zhien's head.
"The sky is full of white snow"
"The world is dyed white"
"Blooming Snowflakes"
"That light is as dazzling as you"
Accompanied by Lee Ji-eun's ethereal and sweet singing, Kim Ki-hyeon began to twist his body in his doll costume.
As he twisted and turned, Jin Qixuan's initial nervousness when facing 50,000 people gradually relaxed. He became bolder and bolder, and began to let himself go and do whatever he wanted.
He was posing in a bodybuilding pose, doing splits, turning around and shaking his buttocks, just trying to be as eye-catching as possible. If Jin Qixuan knew how to street dance, he would have done a big windmill show.
In fact, the audience felt it was okay, after all, all attention was focused on the protagonist on the stage, but it was different for the protagonist singing on the stage.
Because she knows who is inside the costume.
Lee Ji-eun really didn't expect that Kim Ki-hyeon, who usually appears handsome and elegant, could be so showy after hiding his identity.
This caused her to lose control and she started laughing while singing.
"You are still so dreamy, like a gift from heaven... Hahaha..."
In the end, Lee Ji-eun forced herself not to look at Kim Ki-hyeon and barely sang the second half.
According to the original rehearsal plan, Kim Ki-hyun was supposed to leave the stage with Lee Ji-eun after they finished singing three songs.
However, since Kim Ki-hyun's presence had seriously affected her normal performance, Lee Ji-eun had no choice but to drive Kim Ki-hyun off the stage.
"You're too conspicuous here. The audience isn't even looking at me! Go away!"
As she spoke, Lee Ji-eun put one hand on her waist, pouted her lips, and glared at Kim Ki-hyeon.
And Li Zhien's cute expression once again caused the audience to howl wildly, "So cute".
Jin Qixuan showed no reluctance at all. He waved to the audience and turned to leave the stage.
It was really crazy and fun playing on the stage just now, but at the same time I was a little nervous because I jumped too hard and my headgear fell off.
Only now that I've stepped down can I feel completely relaxed.
But because he was too relaxed, Jin Qixuan missed a step when going down the stairs and knelt down again.
Fortunately, the doll costume was quite thick, so Jin Qixuan was not injured, but unfortunately, his head fell off...
The people who came forward to support him were stunned when they saw Jin Qixuan's face. Then, everyone's face was a little distorted, and it was obvious that they were in great pain trying not to laugh.
"Surprise..."
Jin Qixuan smiled awkwardly, said hello, stood up awkwardly, picked up the hood and put it on, then walked silently towards the waiting room.
After Jin Qixuan left, the staff, who had been holding back their laughter for a long time, could be heard.
After changing his clothes backstage, Jin Qixuan lowered his head and returned to the audience silently.
Seeing Jin Qixuan coming back, Liu Renna asked curiously: "Where have you been?"
"I went to the bathroom."
"There was a cotton candy doll on the stage just now, shaking its hips and doing splits, it was really funny."
Liu Inna's eyes were curved with a smile as she told Jin Qixuan the story in vivid detail.
"Oh... it's a shame I didn't see that."
"It's okay. I just recorded it. Here you go."
As she spoke, Liu Inna handed the camera in her hand to Jin Qixuan.
Jin Qixuan: “…”
As Lee Ji-eun went off the stage again to change her clothes, the concert was already halfway through.
Compared to the passionate singing and dancing in the first half of the concert, the second half was a quiet singing and the atmosphere became warmer.
When Lee Ji-eun took the stage to sing again, she was sitting on a white cloud in the air, like a fairy descending to earth. Her voice was melodious and warm, intoxicating.
At the end of the concert, IU stood in front of the standing microphone on the stage and sang the last song with deep emotion.
Looking at Lee Ji-eun singing passionately on the stage, all the fans present waved their light sticks along with her singing, and many emotional fans even shed tears.
From the passionate opening to the tender ending, today's concert is destined to be unforgettable.
After finishing the singing, IU bowed deeply to the audience and slowly descended on the elevator until she disappeared.
Overall, the atmosphere of Lee Ji-eun's concert was still very good.
Apart from Kim Ki-hyun's eye-catching doll costume that made Lee Ji-eun laugh, all the songs and dances were performed perfectly, and there were no black fans who maliciously interrupted the performance. Everyone was listening to IU's singing wholeheartedly and participated in the chorus at the right time.
Seeing that the audience had already left in an orderly manner, Kim Ki-hyun and Liu Inna also stood up and went backstage to say goodbye to her.
"Jie Eun, you sang so well just now."
As soon as they met, Liu Inna gave Li Zhien a big hug.
In the emotional scene of fans crying mentioned earlier, Yoo In Na was among them.
“Congratulations on the success of the concert. It is bound to be an unforgettable performance.”
Jin Qixuan handed the camera to Hunt and walked up to Lee Ji-eun to congratulate her.
"Thank you. Would you like to have dinner together?"
Jin Qixuan glanced at the time on his watch and shook his head: "It's too late. I have work to do tomorrow."
"Well, I'll take you there."
As she spoke, Li Zhien quickly put on a pair of thick-looking pants, then put on a down jacket, and said to the two of them with a smile: "Let's go~"
Looking at the cute Li Zhien wrapped like a penguin, Jin Qixuan also laughed and nodded: "Yeah."
On the way, Lee Ji-eun asked Kim Ki-hyeon whether the script she had mentioned before had been designed.
"I have another concert the day after tomorrow, and two more in early January in Hong Kong and Formosa. Then I'll be free for the time being. You should hurry up and write it. I still have to rehearse!"
Speaking of which, the New Year’s Eve of 2017 was relatively early, on January 27th.
During this period, Jin Qixuan should be on the roadshow for "Brave Citizens" and his schedule is very tight.
But despite the tight time, Jin Qixuan insisted on writing it.
Just because of what Lee Ji-eun said when borrowing money just now, Jin Qixuan had to stay up for several nights to write it out.
So, he now regrets not having taken the time to rest in October to think carefully about this short script.
"Okay, I got it. I'll promise to write it down when you return to Seoul."
"It's a deal!"
"Um."
After saying goodbye to Lee Ji-eun, Kim Ki-hyeon took a ride home with Liu Inna.
On the way, Liu Renna, who had been patient for a long time, asked: "What is the script you just talked about...?"
"Oh, it's the small theater that performs at the Disabled Persons' Federation on New Year's Eve."
"The Disabled Persons' Federation? Ah, that is a very meaningful performance."
"yes……"
The next day.
The news about Lee Ji-eun's concert in Jamsil last night directly monopolized all entertainment news headlines and online hot searches.
The influence of this concert was far greater than expected, and the outside world was in an uproar over it.
The Seoul Sports newspaper even used half a page to display photos of Lee Ji-eun at her concert last night.
This photo was taken by Jin Qixuan after he went to the toilet and went around to the back of the stage.
On the stage, Lee Ji-eun stretched out her arms, sang softly, and blocked the bright moonlight with her body. The sea of stars and glow sticks in the sky illuminated her in the dark night sky.
Let’s not talk about the bystanders who are just watching the show for now, just take Uaena for example, this photo really touched everyone’s heart.
Not to mention the fans, even Lee Ji-eun liked it so much that she asked Kim Ki-hyeon for a high-definition version of the photo and made it into a poster to hang at home for her to appreciate.
Not only that, the related gossip is also popular among the spectators.
For example, D agency released photos of two pairs of underground celebrity couples watching Lee Ji-eun's concert together.
A pair of photos are of Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo couple entering the venue from their backs.
(PS: True story, taken by D agency: Song Zhongji and Song Hye Kyo went to IU's concert together.) The other couple was Lee Hye-ri and Ryu Jun-yeol who were recognized even when they were wearing masks and hats...
In addition to these two couples, there were also many artists who attended Lee Ji-eun's concert and their names were revealed, including Kim Ki-hyun and Liu Inna.
Of course, there was also the conspicuous Marshmallow Bag, who kowtowed to Lee Ji-eun as soon as he came on stage, and became a laughing stock for many people after dinner.
In addition to entertainment news, Lee Ji-eun's concert also made the rounds in social news and legal news.
The reason why this concert is considered social news is that it has a great influence and has aroused discussion among the public, especially in Seoul. So it is considered a social event.
Although before IU's concert, Jamsil Stadium was already a landmark building in Seoul.
However, the countless media exposure of this concert brought Jamsil to the center of attention, and the flow of people increased several times compared to the past.
It is said that many singing groups also hope to hold concerts in Jamsil Stadium and have submitted applications to relevant authorities.
However, the relevant departments did not agree rashly, but held a meeting to discuss whether to open the Jamsil Stadium as a long-term performance venue.
However, the final outcome of the discussion is unknown to the outside world.
As for the legal news, it mainly praised the staff on duty last night for ensuring the safety of the venue and related public security.
According to official reports, a total of 8 scalpers, 7 thieves, and... one fugitive were arrested last night.
The fugitive belonged to a recently uncovered online fraud gang, and he was the one who escaped.
Because his accomplices had basically been caught, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency thought he had escaped from Seoul and issued a wanted notice.
It turned out that this guy was a die-hard fan of IU. He was lucky enough to grab a ticket to IU's concert online before the gang was arrested.
Later he found out that something had happened, but he was still reluctant to leave after buying the ticket. He came to the concert hoping for luck, and then when he was leaving, he was recognized by a staff member on duty and pinned down.
After being arrested, the guy expressed his gratitude to the police, saying that it was fortunate that he was not arrested until he had listened to the lecture. If he had been arrested before listening to the lecture, it would have been a great loss.
This is definitely a die-hard fan among die-hard fans.
This magical realist news became one of the biggest gossips of the concert. Everyone didn't know whether to laugh at this person's stupidity or to lament that he was a true fan.
After hearing about this, Li Zhien couldn't help but anonymously sent two boxes of instant noodles to the detention center, hoping that he would reform himself and be an honest person...
