Chapter 109 Professor Quan Being Teased
◎ “Oh my god~ Oppa looks like he has such a hard life!”◎
There are many similarities in East Asian culture. In terms of metaphysics, Koreans also believe in fortune-telling.
Compared to what the Chinese call "superstition", their form of fortune-telling has developed into a more business-oriented form in the overall social development.
In South Korea, fortune-telling has penetrated into people's daily lives. Whether it is weddings, funerals, entrance exams, or moving and finding a job, Koreans have the habit of choosing fortune-telling to seek guidance and comfort.
Directly form a separate huge industry.
In big cities like Seoul, there is even a street dedicated to fortune-telling.
In the Korean entertainment industry ten years ago, fortune-telling was already a selling point on variety shows.
On a famous Korean variety show, fortune tellers were often invited to the show at the beginning of each year to estimate the fortune of the year for each guest and host.
One of the masters was very "accurate" in his calculations and became a "master" praised by fans.
As a result, he became a "star" among fortune tellers in the fortune-telling segments of the show in those years.
Many people who watch Korean variety shows and follow Korean groups often see him.
A few years before Kwon Ji-yong joined the army, he had met this fortune teller on his personal live broadcast.
It was he who took the initiative to propose the production of a live broadcast program with the theme of fortune-telling. In 2016, it was carried out through NAVER's v app. The live show was called "Kwon Ji-yong is better than you no matter how you look at your horoscope."
During the show, fortune teller Park Sung-jun checked his birth date, palmistry and face.
To summarize the content of this episode, it is: your horoscope is very good, but you may encounter bad luck in love. However, you will meet noble people who will help you in terms of wealth, and your wealth will accumulate endlessly.
At that time, Quan Zhilong was mostly just curious.
I have heard the phrase “His horoscope is very good” many times since I was a child. From his birth year to month and day, it’s all “888”, how can it be bad!
He even wrote the good luck symbol of the number "88" into the lyrics.
The fortune-telling process mostly involves love and career.
Quan Zhilong's career fortune was predicted by the master "Golden Mouth". It is said that he will have good luck until his old age and will not lack money in his life. Compared with the attention on money, the love line mentioned by the fortune teller at that time was more eye-catching.
Bad love?
A passionate man.
Quan Zhilong felt embarrassed at that time. He smiled with a slightly red face and continued to listen to the fortune teller's prediction for him.
Looking at a palm picture with curiosity, I can see so many things based on these subtle lines, but how much do I believe it?
I can only say that I am half-believing and half-doubting.
In his emotional world at that time, he had just ended his last formal relationship. The other party said that his emotional line was like a reed, and he was not wrong.
After breaking up with Yuna, he has been involved in a series of short-term relationships, full of instability, irregularities, and casual relationships with the opposite sex...
These are not what outsiders consider to be "bad love affairs".
Even Quan Dalmei thinks so.
Speaking of his future wife, the fortune teller said that Kwon Ji-yong would marry a "wife as cute as a child" and described his future partner as a "very cute woman."
The person that came to his mind at that time was his ex-girlfriend Yuna, with whom he had broken up a year ago.
In his eyes, Song Yu was just a child at that time!
In private, I often call my lover "Mo Ya~" or "You kid".
I heard that my taste is not very good and that the person I fall in love with will be a woman who is not so good in the eyes of others or a woman who is not very beautiful in the eyes of others.
"It means that you are beautiful only in my eyes!"
After hearing this, Quan Zhilong responded with a smile, "I'm very nice to women~".
But as for the fortune teller who said that the person he liked was not very beautiful, Kwon Ji-yong, who was well aware of the effect of the show, did not argue with this issue. In fact, all he was thinking in his heart was: What do you know!
It seems that this is a half-true and half-false statement based on some of his previous gossip.
How could Yuna be an ugly woman in the eyes of others?
Quan Zhilong is also a vulgar man who is attracted by beautiful appearance. It is not wrong to say that love at first sight in this world is mostly based on lust.
In addition, the fortune teller also reminded him to be careful of "people with the surname Li", and Kwon Ji-yong jokingly thought of his teammates at the time.
These memes, created for the sake of comedy, actually came true one by one in the following years.
From then on, there was another record added to the fortune teller's record.
Kwon Ji-yong never expected that these memes would be remembered by his fans to this day.
At the Daejeon event on June 5th, Kwon Ji-yong, who knew the schedule and content in advance, only realized it after arriving at the venue and feeling the realities of his upcoming performance. Then he exclaimed, "Ah! He really became a 'professor'?"
What did the fortune teller at that time say?
It is said that he may become a professor in the future.
“It actually…came true!”
.
Sitting at the event called "Innovation Korea 2024" as a visiting professor of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, surrounded by people in suits on both sides, Kwon Ji-yong's figure stood out and was particularly conspicuous.
His attendance at this event was beyond the expectations of all fans.
It was not until the day of the event that they learned that Kwon Ji-ryong would appear there.
"Didn't you say you were going to return this year? Is Lao Long going to be a professor again?"
"No way! Are you going to be the pigeon champion again this year? Why are you a musician like Kwon Ji-yong attending a mechanical engineering department event?"
"The shoe dealer doesn't want to buy shoes anymore, so he's going to switch careers and become an engineering professor, right? Will Quan Long release a song this year? "
"Am I the only one who feels bad? He's in this state now, it would be a waste if he didn't return."
"I thought signing with a new agency would help things get better, but it turns out they're working in tech! I was wondering why this Galaxy Company is a tech company!"
As the live event progressed, the fan circle information transfer accounts that updated the information simultaneously were filled with people making memes, teasing, crying...it became a mess.
Song Yu, who was doing the final preparations before the new drama was aired in July, took a break from her busy schedule to surf the Internet and took the opportunity to take a peek at her boyfriend's work status for the day. She saw this news that she had already known about.
Will Quan Zhilong be announced as a professor today?
Sure enough, when it comes to funny comments, Chinese fans are the ones who are really good at making things fun. In the comment section below, someone has already made a new emoticon package.
It was a screenshot of the fortune-telling live show in 2016 where Kwon Ji-yong was predicted to become a professor, with a joke-like caption - Another one!
But when Song Yu learned about the predictions made by the famous fortune teller on the fortune-telling show about Quan Zhilong's future partner, she could no longer laugh.
What's wrong with her!
In the eyes of others, an ordinary woman?
The progress of the on-site activities has reached the announcement of the appointment of Quan Zhilong as a visiting professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering for a period of two years.
From June 2024 to June 2026, Kwon Ji-yong has been appointed as the "Global Ambassador of KAIST" to help strengthen KAIST's overseas promotion and will thereafter share his experiences and life as a world-class artist.
The translated words looked very unfamiliar to Chinese fans. Finally, at this inexplicably appearing event, someone finally asked about their true feelings.
"Zhilongxi, when will you appear as a singer again?"
A man in a suit on the stage asked a question that everyone was curious about.
In front of everyone, Quan Zhilong smiled and replied: "Well, this year!"
This is the first time that the comeback time has been personally acknowledged by him. The fans who were just helpless about Kwon Ji-yong becoming a professor, felt excited again even though they were thousands of miles away from him, separated by the screen.
Who cares what kind of professor he is!
Just come back.
Song Yu witnessed with his own eyes that the title "Professor Quan" was suddenly all over the screen, and the "Thank you Professor Quan" meme was played out.
Song Yu slid his nimble fingers across the screen and murmured, "These people... really are."
He was under the control of Quan Zhilong.
This guy not only likes to play push and pull with his partner, but also with his fans.
But... "Professor Quan!"
Her name, "Teacher Song", has finally found a suitable nickname.
As for the on-site return answer, Song Yu can testify that Professor Quan is right!
This year, Kwon Ji-yong can finally take off the title of "Pigeon King".
Having personally experienced the year 2025, Kwon Ji-yong's mentality for this return has become more calm mentally.
But it is also true that I am physically busy to the point of taking off.
In March, he could be seen attending Kang Dae-seung's fan meeting, in April he made a low-key appearance at a perfume event in Hannam-dong Formal, and in June he transformed himself into Professor Kwon.
But wait until the next few months...
Quan Zhilong had been living a relaxed life for several years, and it was as if the rhythm of life was suddenly tightened up and wound up. As expected, someone couldn't adapt to this kind of work intensity that was applied to him right from the start.
The late-night conversations between them gradually turned into Song Yu being the one waiting.
Even though Song Yu's schedule before the new drama airs is packed, he is not like Kwon Ji-yong who is far away in South Korea and has to live a reversed day and night schedule.
Quan Zhilong's daily routine, which was forcibly corrected by Xiao Taotao's arrival, returned to its previous state overnight.
Koreans have not digested sleep. In Song Yu's opinion, they like to get up at night to work and go back to rest during the day.
This kind of shooting mode, except for the large night scenes that need to be shot at night, is something that she, a Chinese, really cannot understand, this reversed shooting schedule.
If it were Song Yu today, she would definitely not be able to adapt if she returned as a South Korean singer.
Why can’t the music video shot in the studio be rented out and filmed during the day?
Quan Zhilong's lifestyle in the past few months is not suitable for living with children.
Her mother went to China to work, and her father was preparing to return as a singer, leaving her daughter Taotao with no time to take care of her, so she had to be taken back by Quan's parents.
For Xiao Taotao, this scene seemed to be happening again.
In the world of 2025, before her father returned, she was also living with her grandparents, but Xiao Taotao didn't know what it meant to repeat herself, and just thought it was a normal part of her parents' work.
Even in this world, which she thought was similar to Alice in Wonderland, except for the adults who acted strangely when they first saw her, Xiao Taotao gradually discovered that many things were actually the same as before.
There was a period of time when everyone suddenly started calling my father "Professor Quan".
.
Late at night, after Song Yu finished the phone call, she was about to go to bed. She still had to continue the post-dubbing of the new drama tomorrow. The new album that had been prepared would be linked to the drama, but they still had some differences among themselves on the specific time of release.
They are all very nervous about the new style attempted by this drama. If the drama fails, won’t the album released in conjunction with the drama also fail?
How should their release time be arranged?
Song Yu felt a slight swelling in his head, which was a feeling of excessive fatigue.
But when she saw Quan Zhilong opposite her on the screen, with a face that looked even more resentful than hers as a "social animal at work", Song Yu laughed, her eyebrows and eyes curved in a smile, and her tone couldn't help but be teasing.
"Ahhh~ Oppa seems to have such a hard life!"
The warm yellow light was warmly spread in the corner of the room. Song Yu curled up in the soft sofa. The screen of his mobile phone lit up, and Quan Zhilong's face with his signature bright smile appeared in the screen.
But no matter how you look at it, he looks like he has aged ten years.
The way he wore a turban over his face recently, coupled with his fake smile, the way he greeted her really made him look like a... little old man.
The colorful patterned turban on his head made him look even more like one.
It made Song Yu laugh, but Quan Zhilong in the video looked so miserable!
"Ah~ Don't laugh."
When Quan Zhilong heard his girlfriend say that he looked ten years older, he quickly took off his headscarf. They were already three years apart in age, and if he added ten years, wouldn't that make them thirteen years apart, a generation apart in age?
This is intolerable. He pretends to be fierce and tells Song Yu not to laugh at him anymore.
So far, the relationship between the two has continued to hide the true secret of their daughter Taotao from very few people.
The word out to the outside world was: the child is the daughter of Song Yu's brother.
On the contrary, the two of them are not shy about their relationship with the staff around each other.
They were no longer surprised by the sight of Kwon Ji-yong video-calling his girlfriend in front of his makeup artist and stylist.
Most of the time, it is in a small room with only my team members.
Or he would avoid other people at the scene, use his break time to squat in a small corner, and talk to Song Yu, making it a tacit understanding among everyone present about the secret hidden by Quan Zhilong.
It’s just a girlfriend!
Although they were also very curious about who the lady on the other end was.
Quan Zhilong always likes to jokingly call her "Teacher Song", which is a couple's behavior with a bit of playfulness and intimacy. Every time Song Yu hears it, she will pretend to glare at him in anger, because she can't do anything about his mouth that likes to shout.
But after that incident in June, news came out that Kwon Ji-yong was appointed as "professor".
Every time the video call was connected, Song Yu would deliberately draw out the tone and call him "Professor Quan" in a serious tone that could not hide his smile.
The voice was like a feather gently scratching the heart, with a hint of teasing.
The two of them kept talking back and forth, sometimes Song Yu called him "Professor Quan", and sometimes Quan Zhilong called him "Teacher Song".
Gradually, everyone around Quan Zhilong was infected as if they were infected with the virus.
They are jokingly called the love line between "Teacher Song" and "Professor Quan".
If someone who doesn't know the truth hears this, they would really think that Kwon Ji-yong's girlfriend is an amateur teacher.
So, Quan Zhilong got a new nickname, which spread among these people.
"Professor Quan".
If one day after his return, during a promotional program where Kwon Ji-yong is on, he hears someone mentioning the name "Professor Kwon" with a smile, it will definitely be Song Yu's credit.
