Chapter 107: Sensing the signs of love
◎Let’s talk! Do you have someone in Korea?◎
As for the signs that a celebrity is in a relationship, almost all fans have a list that is passed down by word of mouth and is constantly updated with the times.
One obvious feature is that the frequency of holidays for the career-conscious people in the past is a bit too high now, isn’t it?
Like Song Yu now.
Starting from the return of the Spring Festival in 2023, the work schedule for the whole year seems to be no different from previous years.
There are still dramas being broadcast, and new dramas and movies are being produced. The number of brands endorsed has also increased, and many online and offline brand promotion activities have also been participated in.
Even on social platforms, I have picked up the frequency of my business again and updated it simultaneously on the internal and external networks.
Even the studios that were previously criticized for being "too old-fashioned" have learned some new business practices.
Logically speaking, it was a year of progress.
What else could they not be satisfied with?
But in the hearts of her old fans who have liked her for many years, Song Yu's every move has been seen through for many years.
In the eyes of the fans who are rushing to the scene to chase their idols, a red line called "love" radar is faintly ringing.
The main manifestation is that at the end of each activity, they are always unable to arrive at the airport to see off the guests.
It's as if the person suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth.
The pick-up site at the beginning of the event did not move with the team.
Where did Song Yu disappear during all this time?
A destination that cannot be known to the outside world?
Later, everyone found out that she went to South Korea.
Countries that I didn't visit often in previous years have appeared too frequently this year.
Song Yu has talked to her! Does she have anyone in Korea?
This kind of strange voice has been heard several times in different fan groups.
But they were always suppressed by the administrators. Many new fans who had just joined the pit were younger and were accustomed to using the common "controlled star-chasing" method to chase the artists they were new fans of.
They treat artists as "commodities", "puppets" that can be controlled, and like to express their own suggestions to artists, including but not limited to: career guidance, dissatisfaction with the studio's business, and finally dissatisfaction with emotional problems in their personal lives.
In the eyes of the "flower fans", falling in love is a taboo. Song Yu, born in 1991, also belongs to the category of "90s flowers" in the domestic entertainment industry.
The same principle applies to chasing after actresses and idols.
But this definition does not seem to be suitable for Song Yu.
Because she has done both.
As we enter 2024, Song Yu, whose birthday is December 12, is 33 years old in terms of age. For an idol in the South Korean entertainment industry, a female star of this age is considered an older senior.
Although Song Yu debuted as a solo singer, SM Entertainment's management of her career was obviously based on the idol model. Therefore, in the eyes of the "old people" who followed that era, Yuna has the same image as the idol groups in SM Entertainment.
If you count, the young idols who debuted in the Kpop industry are all in their 00s.
The second-generation idols have arrived. On the show, you can hear their birth date, which is the same as your debut time! Or a few years before or after.
The feeling of that instant, the experience of my pupils shaking, really felt like a lifetime ago.
I understand what the concrete meaning of "time passing" is.
In this circle, the tolerance for men is always higher than that for women. Even after men enter their thirties, they can still be called "Oppa" by their fans, and they can really dedicate themselves to their singing and dancing careers until they die.
What about the girl groups who used to be idols?
There are only a few sisters who can still be active on the stage.
Except for a few lead singers in the group, most of them are at the top of the lead singer business in the idol career.
But how many people can make a living solely by their singing career?
The precipitous drop in popularity, along with the increasing age and the increasingly unsatisfactory performance of his return works, is a process of continuous decline, it’s just a matter of speed.
Not to mention the speed at which young people debut nowadays, with new faces appearing every day.
Multi-directional development is the right choice.
The female colleagues in Song Yu's former company who developed at the same time as him all sought their own ways out.
Some have switched to musicals, some have switched to acting, some have continued to be solo singers, some have chosen to get married and have children...
Among the idol groups that are still able to sing and dance on stage after entering their thirties, they are all highly popular boy groups that were active in the second and third generation periods.
I have to admit that the vitality of those boy groups is indeed longer than that of girl groups.
Song Yu's fans are also very fortunate that he resolutely transformed into a domestic entertainment actor, took advantage of the good opportunity and environment of the domestic entertainment industry, and reaped the benefits brought by Korean entertainment and got a share of the pie.
After coming back a few years later, with the support of the restriction order on Korean entertainment and the development of the domestic entertainment industry's own talent show track, the value of those who returned with green card certificates is not as high as before.
To this day, the main reason why she can still maintain her popularity is definitely that Song Yu’s popularity has increased after she became an actor.
Not to mention the general environment after returning to China, which is not suitable for a singing and dancing singer like her who is not good at creation.
Their figures standing on the stage are an extension of their charm.
If you just focus on your singing career, you can only make money for three or four years at most before your popularity declines.
The stages of large-scale evening parties and the New Year's Eve stage are all filled with invited guests based on their popularity. Do you really think that the former singer Yuna still has the halo?
That's because Song Yu's other identity as an actor, with its achievements, continues to give her aura and popularity.
Not only can they not completely abandon their singing careers, but they can also provide blood transfusions to each other.
The fans are already very satisfied.
As for the main character, is he suspected of being in love?
Those who have been in the industry for a few years all have the same feeling of "knowing what's going on".
It’s good enough if everyone knows it in their hearts.
As long as you are not overly in love, for an adult over 30, falling in love is not a big deal.
"My sister is already 33, so what if we're dating!"
I say this outwardly, but in my heart I hope: You better never be exposed!
It’s also best not to be discovered by fans!
We can pretend we don’t know!
Only fans: As long as my sister likes it (Woohoo~ My sister is the best alone!)
Career fans: Did you join the crew today? Did you release any songs?
CP fans: I'm sure she is dating! We have plenty of evidence, don't believe it? Check out our super topic, a bunch of super sweet candies~
Duwei: Get lost!
As for me, Song Yu, after New Year's Eve, I was indeed on vacation.
At the end of December last year, Kwon Ji-yong officially announced his cooperation with the new company Galaxy.
The new company held a press conference in Seoul to officially announce the signing of Kwon Ji-yong and confirmed that Kwon Ji-yong will return in 2024.
Regarding the topic of return, from the beginning of 2023 to the beginning of 2024, it sounds like the story of crying wolf.
What's more, after experiencing the major incident a month ago, the public is not very confident about Kwon Ji-Dong's return.
It is speculated by the public that after experiencing such things, artists will generally choose to remain silent for a year or two!
Although judging from the current situation, Kwon Ji-yong is on the victim side.
The fans were delighted that the new company had finally been settled and that the wonderful day they had been looking forward to, such as leaving YG Entertainment, had finally come true.
The topic of return is still under everyone's observation and judgment.
Only the real owner knows that he really wants to return within this year.
.
Song Yu asked uncertainly, "Are you really going to return this year?"
When she heard what Quan Zhilong said, she felt that she didn't quite...believe it.
It's just that someone has stood up too many times.
Although the reason each time was not his fault, but in the end~
Well! He took all the blame on himself.
"Moya~ I'm serious."
Quan Zhilong muttered unhappily, "I have a lot of songs ready, enough for me to release several albums in a row."
That's true.
Many songs that seem to be newly released were actually not created recently, and this is also due to the high requirements that Kwon Ji-yong has for music quality.
Many of his songs are not released immediately after they are completed. Instead, they are refined and polished for a period of time until he thinks the songs have reached their best state.
This method of creation results in some songs having a gap of several years between completion and actual release.
Among the clues dug up by fans, they discovered that the famous song "Untitled" was a song recorded by the person involved in 2014.
During a concert rehearsal, a high note was not sung correctly. At that time, Kwon Ji-yong smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, I recorded this song about four years ago..."
I sang it again several times before it was exactly the same as the original recording.
In addition, plans cannot keep up with changes, and among the songs he completed, there were also a lot of "aborted" group songs.
Quan Zhilong felt that there was nothing he couldn't say to his girlfriend, so he chuckled and said, "Actually, I've also finished the team's song."
What's the point of doing it well? You'll never get it published.
All recorded songs are useless and are waiting for the next adaptation and re-recording.
In Song Yu's eyes, the smile on the corner of his mouth was bitter no matter how he looked at it!
Excellent! This person can now, with self-deprecation, say things that others are afraid of saying the wrong thing and hitting their sensitive spots.
Quan Zhilong is doing desensitization training on himself before his return.
Secretly practicing shocking speeches that would sound like a hellish joke to others.
After the comeback, I will say it on the show myself and be the one to cue the topic~
A week after New Year's Eve, the two spent some quality time together at home in Seoul.
By the way, we also brought Xiao Taotao back from her parents' home, so that the three of us could spend time together as a family.
Compared to being in a different country where they can't really touch each other and can only "meet" through electronic products, they don't feel bored at all when they fight for every moment they spend together.
Instead, Lee Joo Hyuk teased them, "You guys are in the honeymoon phase, right?"
It is not wrong to infer that the two of them are in a passionate relationship after they started dating again.
but......
Quan Zhilong said helplessly: "Whose honeymoon period is accompanied by children?"
Taotao has finally been able to stay with her parents recently, and even the temptation of snacks from her grandparents' house has lost its effect.
I must stay at home with Song Yu and the others.
The person who had just said on the phone that Taotao should cherish the remaining time here, immediately started to dislike her, thinking that there was a little kid at home and an old father who loved to ruin his parents' good deeds.
Kwon Ji-yong said: I am tired.
In addition, he became the focus of media attention again, and the two of them were not even allowed to go out for a walk with their child.
I can only be forced to stay at home.
Do you think they don’t want to hang out outside?
Cailin and Li Zhuhe were witnesses present. There was a rare gathering of four people in the middle, but it ended up being a gathering where they helped take care of the children and acted as shields.
Although Taotao is very cute, what does it matter if a passerby takes a picture of Cailin and Lee Joo-hyuk taking care of the baby together?
So Cailin, the tool, laughed at the two of them angrily: "Oh my god! You two are like an old house on fire."
Lee Joo Hyuk agreed and said, "Well, young people nowadays aren't as clingy as them when they're in love."
"Heh~", Quan Zhilong retorted unconvincedly, and said with a smile, "You single people, what do you know?"
If they were in their place, they wouldn't be able to see their lovers for several months and could only make cross-border video calls every night. Let's give it a try first.
If it were the previous Kwon Ji-yong, not seeing each other for several months would be considered reason for breaking up.
They are not clingy at all.
They just want to make up for the lost time, and...they will be very busy in the new year.
One person is busy, but there is someone waiting, so the relationship can still be maintained.
What if two people are both busy enough to take off?
Quan Zhilong didn't want the reason of breaking up, that they were apart for too long, to be used on himself in the end.
Regarding his planned return in 2024, others remained skeptical, but only Song Yu began to truly believe him.
After staying in another time and space world in 2025, Quan Zhilong has quietly changed in some aspects of himself after returning, such as his determination to act.
Don’t underestimate someone who can predict his own future!
However, Song Yu and the 25 Song Yu in that time and space world seemed to have very different career development paths.
After coming back, Song Yu could not have predicted whether the drama she had invested so much effort in and the new album of the same name that would be released soon would be successful in 2024.
But no matter what, in the new year, they are full of expectations for the future.
Entering 2024, they have better expectations.
