Chapter 821

Lim Sang-woo

The price of her sudden fame was that Jessica Jung had more gigs in China.

Lin Xiangyu and the others returned directly to the peninsula.

Jessica Jung, however, had no choice but to remain in China.

Jessica Jung could actually have chosen not to take on so many gigs.

However, as her fanbase grew, and fans wanted to see Jessica Jung, she had to increase her engagements and take advantage of her time participating in "I Am a Singer" to meet with her fans more often.

After "I Am a Singer" ends, I will definitely need to rest for a while after returning to the Peninsula.

Then there will be fewer opportunities to meet with Chinese fans.

Therefore, we'll have to work a little harder for a while longer.

After finishing a promotional event, Jessica Jung took a car with her management team to the airport.

The air at the airport is always a mixture of disinfectant, the body odor of crowds, and the atmosphere of haste.

Jessica Jung was surrounded by a human wall of assistants and temporary security personnel, like a small boat that could be swallowed by a giant wave at any moment.

Jessica Jung wore a comfortable hoodie and flat shoes, with huge sunglasses that covered most of her face, revealing only her taut jawline.

Jessica Jung's muscles were screaming silently, especially her lower back, which felt like a hard block of ice had been stuffed into it, cold and stiff. Every step she took was accompanied by a hidden soreness—the mark left by recording variety shows in the early hours of the morning for several days and maintaining a sitting posture for long periods of time.

Jessica Jung has been a trainee for so many years and has practiced dancing for many years, so she still has some hidden injuries.

Suddenly, like a ladle of cold water being poured into a boiling oil pan, a huge sound wave exploded in the airport without warning!

"Jessica! Jessica! Look here!"

"Sooyeon unnie! Ahhh—"

Jessica Jung! I love you!

Screams, shouts, and the frantic clicking of camera shutters instantly drowned out the airport announcements, merging into a powerful sonic wave that crashed against the massive floor-to-ceiling glass walls, creating a low, buzzing resonance. The ground beneath our feet seemed to tremble slightly.

Behind her sunglasses, Jessica Jung's pupils contracted involuntarily, and her steps faltered slightly.

Everywhere she looked, there were surging crowds, cell phones held high, large posters, and light boards with her name on them.

Young faces flushed with excitement, their eyes burning with an almost meltingly intense light, and countless hands stretched out desperately, wanting to get closer and closer.

Jessica Jung had only seen this scene online before.

When Lim Sang-woo and Lim Yoon-ah became wildly popular because of "My Love from the Star," this was the scene they would have at the airport.

Jessica Jung never expected to encounter this situation herself.

That heavy expectation instantly transformed into a tangible heatwave and noise, rushing towards us with a suffocating force.

At this point, lower back pain is nothing to worry about.

Jessica Jung took a deep breath, the air sinking into her lungs, carrying the unique cold and dryness of the airport.

Jessica Jung pinched her palm hard with her hand hidden in the sleeve of her oversized hoodie, the sharp pain instantly bringing her chaotic thoughts to a standstill.

The next second, she stopped and faced the bustling crowd.

The sunglasses were gently removed, revealing a pair of eyes that were clearly tired but still bright.

The philosopher strained to force a clear and warm smile, then raised his hand and waved vigorously in the direction of the densest part of the crowd.

"Thank you everyone!" she shouted in fluent Chinese, which she had practiced countless times, her voice cutting through some of the noise.

"Please be careful, everyone! Don't push! Thank you for your support!"

Jessica Jung's simple action and words, like an ice cube thrown into boiling water, triggered an even more fervent wave of responses.

The fans became even more excited, their shouts almost lifting the roof off. Her assistant anxiously whispered in her ear, "Jessica, hurry up! We can't stay here any longer! Staying here will only make the airport more congested."

The assistant understands how Jessica Jung feels at this moment.

But there were indeed too many people.

It's really not a good idea to stay at the airport any longer.

Jessica Jung understood the reasoning behind this and nodded.

The security personnel around her increased their efforts, almost pushing her forward.

Jessica Jung maintained her smile as she was pushed forward, waving in different directions as she went.

In the instant she turned around, her professional, sweet smile vanished without a trace, hidden by the figures of her assistant and security guards.

Jessica Jung quickly raised her free hand and roughly rubbed her stiff and sore side waist with the back of her hand.

She hadn't been this tired in a long time.

The last time I felt this exhausted was when Girls' Generation became a sensation on the Korean Peninsula with "Gee".

At that time, they were rushing from one TV station to another almost every day, from dawn to dusk, and they even ate their meals hastily in the car.

She remembers falling asleep in the dressing room because she was so tired. When she woke up, she found that she still had makeup on, and her agent was already outside the door urging her to come to the next event.

Later, as the group entered a stable period, her solo activities were gradually adjusted.

After founding the Little Division Sign brand, her life remained busy, but at least it wasn't as hectic as before.

No matter how busy the brand is, it's still manageable. She can arrange her own time and take a breather when she's tired.

But during this period, everything returned to that state of near overdraft.

The immense popularity of the Spring Festival Gala suddenly increased her schedule across China, and the recording of "I Am a Singer" forced her to give it her all. She did consider turning down some gigs, but whenever she saw the expectant eyes of her fans and the enthusiastic comments on social media, she couldn't help but soften her heart.

Jessica Jung feels that she really needs to rest after the recording of "I Am a Singer" is over.

My old bones are really starting to give way. The price of her sudden fame is that Jessica Jung has had more gigs and gigs in China.
