Chapter 118 First Public Admission of Relationship
"Oh my god, this is the first time I've done something like this."
This is not the first time that Kwon Ji-Dong has been exposed for this kind of love affair by D agency. His private life has always been the focus of Korean media.
Korean netizens strangely feel that they are gradually becoming desensitized to the news about Kwon Ji-yong's love life.
What? You said GD is in a relationship?
Oh, what's so strange!
This guy is either in the process of negotiating or on the verge of negotiating.
It would be better to pay attention to the quality of the new songs after his solo comeback after a seven-year hiatus!
Can he reach his previous level?
Anyway, GD is a guy who never admits to being in a relationship, so there is no point in exposing it.
Regardless of whether they were actually photographed or fabricated fake news, the parties involved have always adopted an attitude of ignoring it, except for a few times when the fake news was really too outrageous, and their agency at the time, YG, came out to refute the rumors.
So putting Kwon Ji-yong's name in there only had half the sensational effect, but when the other half's name came out, the readers were all focused.
Oh my god! It’s this guy!
This title is not wrong and it really deserves the title of "China-Korea Top Celebrity Couple".
Among the first people to be exposed, there was a Chinese celebrity, a top-tier female artist in terms of fame and status. Isn't this more sensational than an unknown amateur or an unknown model?
When D agency wrote Song Yu's name, they also considerately added the English name she used when she was active in South Korea.
She seemed to be afraid that her local netizens who were watching the news didn't know who she was.
Public opinion in China and South Korea was in an uproar.
Regarding this report at the beginning of the year, fans of both sides, who had a certain sense of foreboding, have been tormented for most of the day, feeling torn between the fear that it might come true and the strange feeling of anticipation.
After seeing the news headlines from D agency, my eagerness to wait finally died completely.
Well, the “expectation” has come true, and the other shoe has finally dropped.
As for the media reporting on this being our old acquaintance, D Agency, it’s not surprising.
How come D agency is not involved in the romance between Sniper Quan and Dragon?
The South Korean media, which is at the forefront, always has its place. Even in the summary report of the events in 2023, it did not forget to hint that Kwon Ji-yong is suspected to be in love.
At this moment, fans of both sides clicked on this shocking report with trembling fingers. They still had to read the content. What if there was still room for interpretation after reading it?
Those who can understand Korean have immediately climbed up the ladder and went to the Korean Internet to read the original reports. Those who can't understand it are scratching their heads and waiting for the Korean entertainment account bloggers to copy and translate it.
Among those who were also waiting for translation was Song Yu's assistant who was holding a mobile phone.
Assistant Huahua, with her status as a CP fan and the identity of the boss's employee, rushed to the front line of the Internet to watch the development of this public opinion.
For the team members who have been vaccinated in advance, they need to further monitor the online public opinion storm and discuss the next step of public relations response.
For this report with huge traffic, all the major Korean entertainment bloggers were in a race to be the fastest. Less than half an hour had passed and the first Chinese translation of the full text came out.
The assistant exclaimed, "Oh my god, this is... well-prepared!"
The tracking is comparable to that of a private detective, and is like a documentary blockbuster with ups and downs in the plot, which lists in detail their "persistent" "tracking results" over the past year.
It started with the secret candid photos they took of Song Yu, who first appeared quietly around Quan Zhilong's home in Hannam-dong.
In the picture, Song Yu is wearing simple casual clothes and a wide-brimmed hat, trying to hide his face in the shadows and walking in a hurry.
In this picture, only a vague profile is visible, and the night light affects the image, but anyone who knows Song Yu can still recognize her. The caption reads: "Going on a secret date just for the two of us."
Next is the scene where Kwon Ji-yong was captured many times, appearing near Song Yu's private residence in South Korea. There were scenes where he appeared alone, and there were also scenes where Tiger Brother appeared to pick him up and drop him off.
The man, wearing a mask, glanced around warily, his fatigue inadvertently revealed. The text described [the period before GD xi's comeback, because the filming site was very close to his apartment, he often went back and forth there to rest.]
It points out that the two people have an intimate relationship where they can share a residence.
Even when Song Yu is not in Korea, Kwon Ji-yong can freely enter and leave her private residence.
D agency has also suffered losses in filming news reports on relationship tracking, such as taking candid photos of one party going to the other party's residence, but without taking any photos of them together, the artist denied it three times.
In this circle, the artist management companies are masters at telling lies with open eyes.
Having learned from the lesson, we came prepared this time and of course took some photos of us together.
The scene of the two people riding in the same car and leaving in a low-key manner makes people think a lot.
Under the cover of night, the car windows were closed, but through the front glass, a rare shot of Quan Zhilong driving the car attentively was captured. In the passenger seat, it was Song Yu who occasionally turned his head to look at the person next to him, revealing half of his profile.
This picture seems to have become an important witness of this relationship.
Next is a text description, saying that they went on a family trip together during the Spring Festival at the beginning of last year.
Regarding the travel information obtained this time, D agency did not secretly take any first-line photos, but collected word-of-mouth information from several parties, and the travel commemorative photos released by both parties indicated that the place they were going to was the same place.
In the first half of 2024, Kwon Ji-yong frequently traveled between China and South Korea in private, and it was difficult to take photos of him at the airport. It was because of D agency's persistence in lurking that the evidence photos were recorded by D agency.
In the airport waiting hall, Quan Zhilong was wrapped tightly, looking down at his mobile phone with a faint smile on his face.
As for the heartwarming gathering photos with mutual friends, except for the dinner photo released at the end of 2024, the rest are all descriptions, saying "they have been gathering in this kind of occasion for a whole year, and their friends have kept it a secret for them."
It wasn't until the dinner after the MAMA performance last year that the group photo was first released to the public.
The report is very long, but it can be seen that every paragraph is the focus and essence. Once you click on it, it is difficult not to read to the end.
The last paragraph at the end also marked the time, the time when the report came out...which was New Year's Eve, wasn't it last night?
I just got the latest candid photos last night and added them today. I’m really hardworking and posted them all together. It really is the hottest news report.
A set of photos of them together on the bank of the Han River on New Year's Eve, finally we can see their faces clearly.
As night falls, the lights on both sides of the Han River are brilliant. Quan Zhilong and Song Yu walk side by side along the Han River. The river breeze gently blows across their faces, ruffling Song Yu's hair. Quan Zhilong slightly turns sideways to protect his girlfriend behind him. Song Yu gently holds Quan Zhilong's arm and leans her head on his shoulder.
Sometimes they stopped to quietly appreciate the beautiful scenery by the river, and sometimes they smiled at each other.
[This top Chinese and Korean celebrity couple also acted like an ordinary couple last night, joining ordinary citizens along the Han River and spending time with the crowd as everyone welcomed the arrival of the new year and counted down together.]
It seemed to add the most romantic and touching touch to this transnational love affair.
From here, the entire report ends.
This move by D agency was undoubtedly a well-prepared plan. The goal was to hit the mark in one go and leave no room for rebuttal to this relationship. Passersby and fans who read the report all understood it.
Agency D wants to nip all of Kwon Ji-yong/Song Yu's public relations tactics in the bud.
The exposure of this love affair between top Chinese and Korean stars instantly became the focus of heated discussion among the public. Starting at 3 pm on the 1st, both social media and major entertainment forums were filled with discussions and speculations about them.
The revelation of an undisputed love affair left nothing to do but admit it... admit it.
As Song Yu's assistant, Huahua has experienced what it means to "keep silent and make a big splash when you do."
Compared to the Korean media, the revelations of Chinese paparazzi can only be called "extortion."
If these materials were taken by paparazzi in China, the first part of them visiting each other's residence would have been announced a month in advance and would have been on the hot search list. Then, they would be released like diarrhea every month for a period of half a year.
Then the rest of the candid photos that followed could be used to "extort" hush money from the artist for several years!
Unlike Dispatch!! They just release it all at once, so the onlookers can enjoy it to their heart's content.
It is very friendly to those who eat melons. As for the artists involved, D agency reports with the purpose of "killing" them.
As expected, the comments below that reposted the report exploded.
————
"Hahahahaha! After watching it, I can only say 'D agency is awesome!' I wish these two good luck!"
"They're more than just well-prepared. They must have learned so many lessons to produce such a rigorous report. They worked quietly all last year! They secretly filmed a whole year's worth of footage, and now they're going big this year. I wonder who would say D agency is cowardly."
"As expected of a Quan Long sniper, if he says he has no selfish motives, no one would believe it. When has he ever been so cruel to other artists? The news about Quan Long's love affairs in the past has never been so detailed. This time he's crazy."
"How horrible! Stalking someone for a year? What kind of perverted behavior is this!"
"Don't you guys care about the relationship itself? Is Song Yu really with Quan Zhilong? My CP is broken."
"Anyone with eyes can see that they are together. Even if Song Yu didn't date Quan Zhilong, your couple would not be real."
"What a magical boomerang! Song Yu was rumored to be dating Lee Joo Hyuk in 2014, and two years later it was revealed that she was dating Kwon Ji Yong. Did that start at that time? The denial at that time was a lie."
"Who are you kidding! I really didn't talk to Lee Joo Hyuk! I was just talking to Kwon Ji Yong, Song Yu, you're so confused! There are so many handsome guys in the Chinese entertainment industry, can't you just look down on any of them? And now you're back to liking a Korean guy."
"Come on! Dispatch followed them at the beginning of the year and said they went on a family trip together. Who would go on a trip with their partner's family right after they started dating? And it was a trip for two families at that? They definitely didn't start dating in 24 years!"
"I just checked the fan chat, and apart from the new fans who were complaining, the old fans were all silent. It turns out that the fans really knew that the main character was in a relationship."
"I heard that at the end of last year, a big fan of Quan Zhilong was making sarcastic remarks, saying things like 'New Year's critical hit' and 'Don't come at the beginning of the year'. So this is what they meant."
"When the photo of Song Yu and Kwon Ji-yong came out, I realized it. Maybe they were just trying to warn their fans and make it public on purpose."
"In the 2023 report, D agency said that Lao Long's alibi was that he had traveled to China. That was the time when they discussed it, right?"
"Why are they dating by the Han River again? Have these two been dating for ten years? Come on! They're not new...?"
"Huh? And melons? What? Ten years, only one ear."
'Put one on your butt, +2.'
Assistant Huahua looked at the various messages and felt like she wanted to say something but couldn't. Everyone agreed that the two were really dating, so this revelation must be true!
Forget it, although it is shocking, these days people seem to be much more tolerant of celebrities’ love affair announcements.
Although both Kwon Ji-yong and Song Yu have been idols, they have both passed the stage when they were young and falling in love was a capital crime.
Especially Song Yu, more people classify her as an actor. She is also a popular actress who became a hit again last year with her new drama.
It’s different when you have real achievements in hand.
They have no doubt about the authenticity of the relationship, it all depends on whether they admit it this time.
The young assistant looked at the figures in these candid photos, and she always felt that... something was missing, but she couldn't remember what it was.
In the work group, everyone's reaction was not panic because they had received advance notice.
There was a sense of relief in the eyes of the people present as they looked at each other. The secret they had kept for so long had finally come to light.
As for how to deal with this leaked relationship, they already knew the answer.
.
The parties involved, all in South Korea, knew about the news as soon as it came out.
Looking at themselves in the news reports, their focus wasn't on the fact that they had been followed and secretly photographed for a year, but rather...
Quan Zhilong said: "Taotao is really gone."
The last New Year's Eve sneak peek was taken last night. It clearly showed the three of them walking along the Han River together, but in the report, apart from Song Yu and Kwon Ji-ryong, there was no sign of the children.
It was clearly all captured on camera.
However, after the world line was repaired, all traces were erased.
The two looked at each other with complicated emotions in their eyes.
When Taotao left, she saved her parents here a lot of trouble.
If Taotao were still alive, the D agency report above would not be just a simple revelation of their relationship.
The two chose their own actions and measures to publicly acknowledge their relationship according to the rules of the entertainment industry they are in.
When Korean artists admit to being in a relationship or announcing their marriage, they usually write a handwritten open letter as a formal explanation to their fans.
Song Yu's situation is much simpler. She doesn't need her studio to issue a statement to explain anything. She just needs to speak out herself.
I took a lot of pictures of the three furry kids at home sitting in a row, then chose one and sent it to Kwon Ji-yong.
Song Yu sat next to him and said, "Oppa~ Just post this."
It’s actually very simple. Just post a photo together and you’re done admitting the relationship.
But after thinking about the official announcement of posting intimate photos, Song Yu felt that he did not like this form.
No matter how you look at it, it's the final big blow to the fans.
Do they want to show their kissing photos to the whole world?
Or...let it go!
There are many examples of publicizing relationships in the domestic entertainment industry. A few years ago, a couple’s “we” official announcement style created a new form of official announcement in the domestic entertainment circle.
Love affairs must be officially announced, breakups must be officially announced, marriages and childbirths must be officially announced, and divorces must also be officially announced...
"It's clearly a private matter, why should we make an official announcement?"
Oh, by the way, they were completely attacked by D Company, which is known as the "Kwon Ji Long Sniper".
Song Yu recalled the Korean report she had just seen, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was "implicated" by... her boyfriend!
When did D agency's paparazzi business also include cross-border tracking?
Just digging up information about the Korean entertainment industry is enough to keep them busy. Even China's top artists are "outsiders" to them, just like Japan's Bunshun and Korea's D agency...
If you don’t admit it this time, I’ll be sorry. D agency is going to write a paper to “hammer” Quan Zhilong to death!
Song Yu laughed sarcastically and said, "D Agency really hates you."
It's simply a relationship of enmity.
Maybe he has some hidden photos that haven't been released yet.
Quan Zhilong curled his lips, chuckled and said nothing.
The attitude of not denying is considered as tacit agreement.
It's not just D agency. In 2023, he saw it clearly and realized that media reporters were all the same.
This recognition is also for the future.
They don't want to continue to date and meet in secret, making it look like they are having an affair.
Some fans guessed correctly that starting from the second half of last year, the two had indeed deliberately released signals to give enough time for preventive measures.
"Oh my god, this is the first time I've done something like this."
He didn't admit it before because he felt it was unnecessary. If he had to admit every relationship, how many records of his admissions would he have to leave behind!
As he said on the show, 'The public has the right to know, but they have no obligation to tell you about their private lives.'
After writing the letter, Kwon Ji-yong sent a photo of the handwritten letter to his agency. He will announce it to his fans on his official cafe tonight, and his IG account will also be updated simultaneously.
But this time, it was different from the past. It was as if I was learning from myself in another world of time and space, following every step.
This time it’s a public admission of relationship, the next time will probably be a marriage announcement!
Looking at Song Yu beside him, who was already concentrating on replying to team messages, Quan Zhilong felt a sense of joy in his heart.
The actions that are about to be announced to the world are a form of stamping that belongs to each other. The feeling of having the heart filled up turns out to be so fulfilling.
The two people who stayed at home all day today still wore the simplest outfit, whatever home clothes were comfortable for them.
Hmm...the feeling of a newlywed couple.
Love arises in an instant, bringing with it an inexplicable and wonderful feeling. Looking at the curve of the side face of your lover, you feel an itch in your heart and an uncontrollable sour feeling in your heart.
After making it public, they will be each other's only one from now on.
.
As night falls, the whole city is gently wrapped in the gentle night, and the busy hustle and bustle gradually returns to tranquility.
More than three hours had passed since the D agency report during the day. The more silent the two parties were, the more excited the outside world seemed to be.
Because it means that the content of the report is true!
First, there was some movement from Kwon Ji-yong's side, and he posted an open letter to fans on his official cafe.
In the letter, he spoke sincerely and frankly about his development journey over the past decade.
Every word seemed to carry warmth, allowing fans to glimpse into the softest corner of his heart. Since it was a letter written to fans, of course it focused on himself and his fans. He did not mention much about his lover out of the greatest respect for his fans.
Finally, he thanked his fans for their support and companionship over the years, and hoped that everyone would understand and bless this precious relationship.
After this open letter was released on the official fan page, Kwon Ji-yong’s IG account was also updated simultaneously.
This relationship with Song Yu was officially and firmly announced to the public.
"Kwon Ji-yong admitted his relationship!!!"
This was his first publicly acknowledged relationship after his debut.
I thought there would be some wrangling with Dispatch, and the usual cold treatment tactics... None of that happened, which was beyond the expectations of netizens who had been eating the romance gossip for several hours.
I am so sincere and frank to the public.
Everyone even expressed doubts: Could it be that the Kwon Ji-yong who returned after seven years has been replaced?
The first explosive information came on the night of the New Year's Day holiday.
At the same time, almost at the same time, Song Yu quietly uploaded a heartwarming photo of the three cats at home on his social platform.
In the photo, three furry little guys are artificially arranged together, staring at the person taking the photo with their round cat eyes, as if they don't understand why their mother arranged them to sit in a row.
There is clarity and stupidity in the eyes of the three cats.
The two chubby gas tanks look more adorable than each other, with the text "Happy New Year" attached. These four simple words are posted in three languages: Chinese, Korean and English.
But it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing a thousand waves among fans and the media. Everyone keenly noticed that this seemed to be their unique and romantic way of acknowledging this highly-anticipated relationship.
Why do you say it is an admission?
Because two of the cats in it are the celebrity cats of Kwon Ji-yong's family. The whole world knows that they are his cat son and cat daughter. But now they appear on Song Yu's account. Doesn't this explain the problem?
There is also a golden little pig in the picture.
Some people also recognized it. It was Song Yu’s pet, a golden shaded cat named Juju that had appeared on camera several times before.
Very good, the furry children of both sides are all here.
Soon, Kwon Ji-yong also posted a new update with the same picture and text.
This relationship was officially recognized by both parties so quickly.
It's so refreshing... It's not like my style, it's more like my account was hacked.
In just over three hours, they completed all the processes preset by netizens.
The flowchart had been agreed upon long ago, and everyone was just a part of their play, including the D agency, which was coming in with great force and was determined to force Quan Zhilong to admit the relationship.
Oh no~ You admitted it so readily, didn't you even struggle?
No matter how you look at it...it seems like Distributor was set up!
Netizens discovered that Distributor left a comment under the post where Kwon Ji-yong admitted: "Crude card!"
Although it’s just two words of calm, one can hear a kind of gnashing of teeth in the reading!
Could it be that the person involved, Dispatch, has also reacted?
'Song Yu Quan Zhi Long'
Song Yu admits relationship
'Kwon Ji-yong admits relationship'
'Kwon Ji-yong's handwritten letter'
D Agency's New Year Report
From the first team to the fifth team, it was a spectacular scene.
Overnight, the hot search lists in China and South Korea were completely dominated by the two.
On the first day of the new year, Song Yu has achieved the annual popularity KPI for the platform.
