Chapter 65: I'm no longer a fan! (3/1.23.35)
Anjou was with her parents in Aswan, while Kwon Ji-yong was preparing for his marriage proposal. It was then that news broke that Anjou and Kwon Ji-yong were dating.
Kwon Ji-yong thought that since he had already proposed, he might as well take this opportunity to make it public.
Anjou was in Egypt, so her extreme fans couldn't find her.
Kwon Ji-yong wants to go public, which the company definitely doesn't agree to, but Kwon Ji-yong insists on doing so, and the group doesn't mind.
Furthermore, An Rufeng helped the company when it went public, so the company had no choice but to compromise.
Kwon Ji-yong originally asked his company to issue a statement saying they were dating with marriage in mind. However, the company didn't dare to write that, and instead settled for saying they were dating seriously.
The company's public statement immediately sparked a public outcry.
– Oh my god! Oh my god! It's public now?
Why did YG's PR department act so quickly this time?
– SE7EN from the same company went public with his relationship and probably lost 100,000 followers. Doesn't the company learn from this?
–Isn't this during the promotional period? Right? Just admitting it like that? GD has guts…
–Who is his girlfriend? A Chinese woman? This is so sudden and strange. As a bystander, it feels like GD suddenly has a girlfriend. How come we never had any rumors about them before?
–After looking at the fans' summary of the two's interactions, wow, wow, legend... What is this? It's insane! This is the first time I've ever seen a couple date like this, so openly and without any hesitation.
Is it because they're ready to go public once they've been photographed? So they don't try to avoid suspicion? But it seems like no one doubts their relationship, which is strange.
– I checked, and the relationship has been exposed, but even the fans don't quite believe it, given all the interaction! They didn't even consider the possibility of them being a couple! It's really unexpected. In this situation, fans must be suspicious no matter what, right?
– Don't the media have any doubts at all? Not even a hint of speculation! Normally, when celebrities are with members of the opposite sex, even if they're several steps apart, they're accused of being intimate and sparked rumors! They interact so much, why don't they write about it at all? Why are they so righteous?
–This might be the fault of the Japanese media! They kept saying that Ms. Ahn and GD were friends! As far as I remember, they only reported on the rumors once, and after the clarification, it was as if they had all agreed to let them off the hook.
–Maybe they really didn't take any good photos?
Didn't Dispatch take any photos? Does any media outlet have photos of the date? Post them quickly. Not photos they post on social media themselves…
Once the company released its statement, casual observers were eager to hear more, while fans became much more vocal.
Supporters support, opponents oppose, boycotts boycott, and those who hurl insults are also hated. Of course, there are also many who unfollow and turn against their idols.
Once it was clear that the affair had been exposed and there were no turning back, one of the sasaeng fans posted a message on the fan forum announcing that she was no longer a fan.
She often talks to Kwon Ji-yong, and she knows about all his previous relationships. Because his previous relationships all ended quickly, she didn't care much, since they would all end anyway.
Unexpectedly, this time, after the exposé was confirmed, it was quickly made public. This time, she couldn't stand it and unfollowed the fans. The post contained a large number of exclusive, previously unreleased pictures and videos.
【Damn it! I'm unfollowing you!】
Do you remember back in February 2010 when Japanese media reported on two separate dating rumors involving GD?
Japanese media first broke the news about GD's rumored relationship with this person surnamed An, and then after clarifying it, they reported the rumored relationship between GD and Mizuhara Nishiko!
Both of the rumors mentioned the same sushi restaurant!
Do you guys think GD likes this sushi restaurant? In the group chat I've been in, other people also think GD goes to the sushi restaurant because of Mizuhara Nishiko or because he likes it himself, but that's not the case!
That's because someone surnamed An likes to eat sushi there! That's why GD came there!
At first, GD and the woman surnamed An weren't very familiar with each other. Every time they greeted each other, GD would go to another table to eat and watch her from afar.

Later, GD invited Daesung to the sushi restaurant. Daesung was more familiar with the guy surnamed Ahn, so GD and Ahn sat at the same table.
This is also why Oshiro was present when Japanese media reported on their rumored relationship!
That's when they started to get to know each other!
GD was very busy at the time, but he still made time to eat at the same restaurant as Ms. An several times, just to greet her and get to know her!
GD, why do you have to pursue someone like this?! Wasn't the lesson of making you wait in the rain for five hours by Ms. Kim enough to wake you up?!
[Image][Image][Image][Image][Image][Image].
The guy surnamed An got to know that woman well. Every time they were together, so many times, the way you looked at her was so obvious. Was she blind?
She's deliberately pretending not to see you, trying to hook you up! GD, how come your taste is always so terrible!
Forget it, you're not much better yourself anyway. On her birthday, you kissed the back of her hand. [Image][Image] I remember she was dating Alexander around that time, right? One doesn't care, the other is two-timing—they're both equally bad!
In July 2010, we were walking hand-in-hand openly downstairs in your newly purchased apartment complex. How bold of us! Do you still remember that you were my idol?! [Video]
[Images][Images][Images], she has nothing to do all day but spend her time buying things with your card. She's clearly not a good woman. I really don't know how you could have fallen for such a useless woman!
I think you've been bewitched. You should find a master to exorcise the demons and clear your head!
Her original intention in posting this was to get fans to criticize Kwon Ji-yong and An Ru-feng, but after reading the post, although some fans unfollowed her and turned against her, and some criticized An Ru-feng even more fiercely, most fans had mixed feelings.
YG's public relations department also arranged to guide public opinion, so the initial reaction to this post was relatively harmonious.
– So affectionate? Oppa really liked this shop for a while, which surprised me! Turns out it was because he wanted to see An!
–Unacceptable, insane…
Who would have thought? It's hurt...
What is it about this woman that makes Oppa treat her like this?
–Oppa is secretly watching Miss An from afar, what kind of unrequited love plot is this from a TV drama…
–I remember a post from last year saying that Miss An liked to eat at the same restaurant, and now it matches up!
After they got to know each other better, they looked at photos together. More often than not, Miss An would look away before Oppa would look at her. That look in his eyes was strangely heartbreaking…
– Isn't this too immature? You only see this kind of plot in school dramas, right?
–Is Oppa this subtle when pursuing someone?
–Isn't there Alexander the Great? That's why he's just watching silently…
– So why did they stop remaining unknown and start poaching people from other companies?
Oppa didn't do anything immoral! Oppa isn't unknown because Ahn and Alexander broke up!
Before Oppa celebrated Miss Ann's birthday, Oppa and Alexander got into a fight because Oppa saw Alexander kissing another girl at a nightclub! [Evidence Link].
It's possible that Ann and Alexander had already separated before Oppa hit Alexander. Afterwards, Alexander, Oppa, and Ann spoke amicably together again. In a park, Oppa had his arm around Ann, sitting on a park bench, talking to Alexander who was standing. [Image link]
–I've seen it, I'm back, it's amazing... Oppa actually fought for Miss Ahn, it's like something out of a drama...
–According to the timeline in the post, Oppa was interested in Ahn in February 2010, and by July 2010, the two were walking hand in hand, almost half a year had passed. Wow, Oppa, you're so patient…
–We got together in July. Does taking a walk downstairs mean we're living together?
–I also remember the post someone mentioned. It was the one where she missed the chance encounter at the art museum but managed to take a picture of Oppa and Ms. Ahn with their arms around each other, right? At that time, she speculated that Oppa and Ms. Ahn were dating, and even suspected they were living together based on changes in Ms. Ahn's sunglasses and style? The post has been deleted, but I took a screenshot at the time. [Image link].
– Yes! That's it! She's right, she's very perceptive! This post doesn't say that in July, GD and Ms. Ahn were walking hand in hand downstairs at his newly bought house, but it matches exactly what that person's post said.
Wow...really, I was so stupid not to believe that post.
I was an idiot to leave nonsense in that analysis post.
–I was such an idiot! In September 2010, I attended my classmate Yamada's birthday party. GD and Ms. An were both there. During a game, the topic of relationships came up, and GD honestly admitted he had a girlfriend! But he didn't reveal who it was! Ms. An was also there! And she mentioned she had a boyfriend, a Korean! I just couldn't connect GD and Ms. An as a couple! It was so obvious—Yamada was Ms. An's friend (she'd appeared on Ms. An's social media many times), GD arrived in Ms. An's car that day, and when they cooked together, they were always together, their actions quite intimate, yet I didn't suspect a thing! I treated them as friends, and even explained to those who didn't know they were a couple that they were just friends! I regret it now. With so many signs, I was still wondering who GD's girlfriend was, when it turned out to be right under my nose!
– Dafa...
–You really lack any insight into your fanbase…
How much more perceptive are we, who have never doubted their relationship?
He was so obvious, right in front of me, and I missed him...
In contrast to South Korea, where leaks rely on fans and insiders, in Japan, the main source of information is the media.
Japanese media, seeing that YG had already issued a statement, took advantage of having plenty of material on hand and published many exclusive news articles!
One Japanese media outlet reported, "We had already reported that Ms. Ahn and GD were a couple, but no one believed it at the time," which caught the attention of fans.
The article mentioned that when GD and Shuiyuan Xizi were rumored to be dating last year, they reported on GD and Ms. An's relationship, but no one paid attention at the time.
Because Ms. An is an ordinary person, it wasn't appropriate to invade her privacy, so no evidence was presented at the time. Now that the two have gone public, let's share some sweet details about their relationship.
The media then released pictures and videos, such as videos of the two riding bicycles and skateboarding.
Fans took a look and found the report from last year that was mentioned. Wasn't this the rumored relationship between GD and Mizuhara Seiko?
Upon closer inspection, well, apart from the picture featuring Shuiyuan Xizi, the entire article doesn't mention Shuiyuan Xizi at all. The title is "details of GD's sweet time with his girlfriend," but the entire text doesn't mention Shuiyuan Xizi's name once; it uses only a pseudonym.
Good for you, Japanese media! With reports like this, who can tell the difference? Who will even notice?
