The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 86: Hip-hop rising star is about to illuminate K-pop
"Oh, she's a trainee at the company."

Gong Cheng looked at Lee Sung Kyung pausing on Hwang Yeji's face that looked like a little fox, and said something lightly.

As a double-hit album, "Obsessed With You" and "(Do Your Best and Leave the Rest to God)" are the two main songs.

The styles of the MVs are completely different. After all, "Obsessed With You" is a love song, while the content of the MV for "(Do Your Best and Leave the Rest to God)" includes the connotations of the other four Korean songs.

As for the MV of "Obsessed With You", he originally wanted to invite Sana Minatozaki's puppy Minato to make a guest appearance, after all, it was half a song written for her.

But due to the awkward and delicate relationship between the two, and the fact that Xiaogou is a member of a very popular girl group, it would be inappropriate no matter how you look at it, not to mention that Park Jin Young would not agree.

If there were some more gossip and entertainment news, I guess that little dog would have a hard time.

So he turned his attention to the company's trainees. To his surprise, among the trainees who came to participate in the audition was Huang Lizhi, whom he met by chance at the company that day.

Whether considering the appearance or other aspects, and with Park Jin Young's brother fanning the flames and saying that he was very optimistic about the potential of this girl, he decided to marry her.

At least that rather aggressive fox face is very suitable for his song.

"Xiao Cheng, according to the company's statistics, the album pre-sales are 67,812 copies." Jin Dayu hung up the phone and reported with a smile.

As a solo artist with a green card, the pre-sale volume of this album has exceeded the company's expectations. Moreover, there are anti-popularity groups who occasionally park large vehicles under the JYP building to protest Gong Cheng's debut.

Furthermore, the company's plan for Gong Cheng was never to have a debut album. This album was merely a test of the waters; the most important thing was the Chinese market and to pave the way for a different musical style for the next album.

"60,000?" Gong Cheng muttered calmly. Sixty thousand pre-sales was indeed impressive for a solo artist. But in the broader K-pop landscape, compared to those groups that routinely sold millions or even hundreds of thousands of copies, it was practically obscure!
He and Park Jin-young's original plan was more than just this! Just like the song "We need more" in this album.

I need more.

"By the way, Junhyung~" Lee Sung-kyung put away her phone and called out in a rather affectionate tone. During these days on the set, her relationship with Gong Cheng had become increasingly close, and it seemed that they had really become childhood sweethearts like in the script, becoming close friends who opened their hearts to each other.

"I went back to the company today and heard a few girls who are about to debut discussing your new album."

"Very charming~ Junhyung~"

She bumped his shoulder teasingly, with a strange smile on her face.

"Is that the girl group from YG that's about to debut? The one with the marketing campaign for years, Blackpink, that even changed its name?" Gong Cheng looked at him speechlessly when he heard this, and said unhappily, "Are they really going to debut? They're not going to be marketed until next year, are they?"

YG is even more disgusting than JYP~My ex-girlfriend Miyeon was delayed by this crappy company.

"Haha~ You seem quite knowledgeable. Also, I heard that your ex-girlfriend was one of the pre-debut members of this group." Lee Sung-kyung retorted with a forced smile, "Maybe I've even seen her at the company before."

"A very pretty little girl."

……

YG Entertainment, inside Blackpink's practice room.

Four sweaty girls gathered together, staring at the tablet in the center open space.

The content on the tablet is playing the MV of "Obsessed With You" from Gong Cheng's debut album.

"Tsk tsk, Miyeon's ex-boyfriend~" Kim Jennie sighed without blinking.

Park Chae-young, who was standing by, listened to the pulsating tune and commented earnestly, "UK Drill's style is very catchy."

"What a unique style." Lisa, with a curtain hanging from her forehead, grinned and exclaimed in amazement. She stared at the images in the MV and unconsciously hummed along with the rhythm. "I wonder if there will be a chance to work together after our debut?"

(She is not the female lead, so there is no space for this story. But she did say in an interview that she wanted to work with the singer of this song.)
"What are you thinking about? Let's debut first." Kim Ji-soo turned her gaze away from the figure in the music video. She had met Gong Cheng a few times because of Zhao Miyeon. Her initial impression of this guy was quite good, after all, he was Miyeon's boyfriend.

But after Zhao Meiyan broke up with this man, she gradually became disgusted with him.

Because Zhao Meiyan would always send messages and call her to complain and vent when she was playing games at night...

As a result, she was often punished for AFK and was also attacked and scolded by teammates in other positions.

After the MV ended, Kim Ji-soo glanced at the comments section and realized how chaotic it was. She couldn't help but murmur, "This brother's diehard fans are too exaggerated, right?"

"Didn't the girl just film a music video with him? Why is she being scolded so harshly?"

"Let me see, let me see." Jennie Kim came over to watch the fun and scrolled through the comment section.

The content in the comment section includes curses and comments, in short, it is all about the discussion triggered by Gong Cheng's debut album.

"Ah Xi! Is that Hwang Yeji? That country bumpkin from Jeonju. How dare you seduce your senior brother so blatantly?"

"My eyes are about to be drawn~"

"If I can help you debut, I'll write the word 'king' upside down!"

"..."

"You brainless fans, idiots! ### can you please put the focus back on the music itself? Hasn't anyone noticed how the music video for "(Do Your Best, Wait for Fate)" is so well-connected? This single music video manages to convey the metaphorical meanings of four other songs of the same genre. Especially the soundtrack with the graffiti on the wall, how it connects with the camera cuts, it completely pieces together a story for the public."

"I agree with what's said above. Tarot broke my stereotype about drill. Let's start with the UK Drill. Tarot's personal style is very strong, and the changes in rhythm and drum beats are absolutely amazing! The impact of the distorted drums and Tarot's own outstanding tone are a perfect match. The quiet listening experience allows the content to stay beyond the lyrics..."

"She's breaking up with me because I'm a gangsta (cry cry cry)"

"Hasn't anyone noticed that the hooks for every song by Tarot are amazing? They're really catchy~ And I looked carefully, and Tarot's name is on the credits for every song on the album, including the planning and shooting of the music videos."

"..."

Peninsula Hip-Hop's Rising Stars Are About to Illuminate K-Pop

After a day of practice, Zhao Meiyan finished washing up and curled up in the quilt, sticking out her little head. She was staring at the latest entertainment news on her mobile phone, grinning from ear to ear with joy.

A pair of white and tender feet were playfully raised outside the quilt.

The more she read the news, the more joy she felt for the articles that were rushed out overtime.

[Tarot's first mini album has sold a total of 73,110 copies so far, and sales are still rising in real time. Please stay tuned.]

The song on loop in my headphones is "Obsessed With You".

It was so good that she couldn't help but laugh secretly under the covers. If I remember correctly, didn't Oppa say he wrote a song for me?

hmm~
hee hee~
