Peninsula Asteroid

In the video, Wen Taiyi looks haggard, as if he hasn't slept for the past two days. Even without makeup, he actually looks frustrated and exhausted.

...But it's not groundless. According to people familiar with the matter, Wen Taiyi has been unable to sleep these past two days due to worry and fear, and he has even suffered from nervous breakdown.

He apologized sincerely in front of the camera, blaming all the mistakes on himself and Li Ruixi, and divided what he said in the recording into two parts, expressing his heartfelt apologies for the words he said about his predecessor in the recording.

He also clarified the scandals and love gossips about some senior groups, including EXO and Ji Jingyuan, saying that they were just hearsay and bragging after drinking too much. There were occasional pauses in the middle, maybe because he was a little nervous, or maybe he didn't recite it well enough.

He also completely denied having a romantic relationship with Lee Seo-hee, saying that the two of them just met at a party and got together after drinking too much, thereby implying Lee Seo-hee's bad intentions and outsider identity... There was no pause in this part, and he spoke it very skillfully, even with some gnashing of teeth.

Finally, he bowed deeply in front of the camera, said that he would stop activities indefinitely to reflect on himself, and apologized again to the people and fans he had hurt.

...Some loyal fans of NCT were originally furious, but when they saw Wen Taiyi's expression, some of them immediately softened their hearts. They thought that since Taiyi was in such a state, he must be very sad and regretful, and he knew he was wrong, so they should just forgive him.

The video ends here, and two minutes later, SM posted a message on its official SNS account with a video link, denying various comments and apologizing to fans.

In response to the overwhelming carnival and speculation on the Internet, and in line with the expectations and even predictions of many people, SM finally gave its response.

After that, in the afternoon, another protagonist of the incident, Lee Seo-hee, also posted on SNS, and also reposted the apology link of Moon Tae-il. She acknowledged the content of the video and said that she knew that both of them were drunk at the time and that Moon Tae-il was just bragging. She just thought it was interesting so she recorded it, and she did not expect it to cause such a big response, so she apologized to everyone.

At this point, the two protagonists of this uproar, Lee Seo-hee and Moon Tae-il, both publicly apologized, saying that the content of the recording was purely fictitious and had no authenticity at all, and that Moon Tae-il had said it deliberately because he was resentful and drunk.

The two apologies naturally attracted everyone's attention, with various comments left under the video and on SNS.

"This is SM's usual method. I knew this would happen."

"Great, I knew Oppa is worthy of our trust... Can those haters just go away? The official has responded but you are still complaining. Who do you think you are?"

There are many people on the Internet who do not believe SM's response, thinking that this reply is too ridiculous. They can hear the recording clearly and know at once that it was a secret filming, and it is too credible. They simply disdain this clarification, thinking that it was deliberately made up by SM and they saw through it at a glance.

...I have to say they were right. SM has been busy with this matter these past two days. As far as Chi Jingyuan knows, Wen Taiyi had memorized the apology letter all night on the first night of the incident. The video was also recorded the next morning when he was the most exhausted. He was ready to apologize and clarify the matter on the same day to prevent the incident from spreading.

The reason why the video was not released directly the next day was because SM failed to deal with Lee Seo-hee. This little internet celebrity was unexpectedly stubborn. The huge attention and popularity in the past two days had made her lose her mind. She completely rejected SM's public relations and was not willing to cooperate at all.

In the end, they had to resort to threats, using Western Poison and some other scandals they had collected before Li Ruixi, extremely unhappy, agreed and cooperated in posting that SNS.

Although there are many people who don't believe it, there are actually quite a lot of people who do believe it. Some of them are just there to watch the fun, and some passers-by who don't even know who Wen Taiyi is actually tend to believe the official wording. When they saw SM gave an official response, they naturally chose to believe it.

What's more important is the fans of the groups involved in the recording. They are the group that is most eager for the official response and has the most faith in it, especially EXO and Ji Kyung-won's fans. They have been hysterical in the past two days because of the scandal and romance gossip. They are extremely anxious and are just waiting for SM to come out and deny it.

As soon as this official response came out, most fans instantly breathed a sigh of relief... Although some fans actually knew in their hearts that it was not that simple, people are willing to believe what they want to believe, and they really don’t want to think too much.

For some things, thinking too much will really make you uncomfortable. What you want when you are a fan is to get feedback and emotional value from your emotional and financial investment. What is important is emotion, not reason.

Regardless of whether the wording of the apology sounds forced or not, the response has been given and SM’s attitude has been expressed. At least at the official level, this matter has been clearly defined.

Although non-believers are still making trouble online, the heat of the incident is visibly fading.

JYP also issued a statement shortly after, saying, "Recent rumors involving artists under our company are untrue."

In response, others laughed or didn't care, but ONCE was celebrating and felt relaxed all over.

However, just when everyone thought that the matter had come to an end, things started to change again. On the second day after the apology statement was issued, Lee Seo-hee started her personal live broadcast again.

During the live broadcast, she angrily complained to the camera that her apology statement was made by SM under threat, or that they were threatening her with her previous incident with the Western Poison.

She had been forced to agree before, but after issuing the apology, she didn't know whether she couldn't swallow it and became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it, or whether it was because the past two days had made her see through this era of traffic. Anyway, she regretted it.

"What is there to hide? I don't care. I think we should be more open. They are just the Western Poison. Why should I be threatened by them?"

"Is what Wen Taiyi said true or false? Haha, anyone with a brain can see this, right?"

She had delicate makeup and a beautiful appearance. She showed off the ring she had just bought and talked to the camera.

Thanks to this incident, her followers on Instagram increased by more than 100,000 in the past few days, and her live broadcast room was also very popular. Li Ruixi finally tasted the popularity and attention she had always longed for. In less than a week, she rose from a small internet celebrity who was ignored by everyone to the position of a well-known medium-sized or large internet celebrity.

Even during this period, she attracted a lot of fans who really supported her. After watching the live broadcast, these fans left messages of support under her live broadcast and Instagram, praising her authenticity and toughness:

"Ouni is so real, we support you! A new-age woman!"

“I knew at once that the apology post was not from Unnie. Unnie would never do such a thing.”

"SM is so disgusting, let's boycott it!"

"Ouni is our idol!"

Li Ruixi looked at these messages of support and saw the increased traffic. She felt secretly happy and thought that she had done the right thing by jumping out to oppose the support.

Soon, SM became furious and reported the case to the police at high speed. He submitted all the prepared materials and evidence to the police station and mobilized his connections. The police officer in Gangnam District quickly took Lee Seo Hee away for investigation. She must have been out of sight for a while.

It can be said that you get what you want.

The disturbance caused by this reversal was not as big as the previous one, but the negative impact was enormous, making the clarification, which was already of mediocre credibility, even more ridiculous.

However, SM did not give any response afterwards, as if the matter had been resolved... But although it was resolved on the surface, the impact of this recording scandal was actually very large.

SM's senior groups were ridiculed and mocked, and the comments in the recordings were used wantonly by black fans. Now when people mention Dong Shen online, they think they are out of date, when they mention Girls' Generation, they think they are ugly and disbanded, and when they mention SJ, they think they are steamed buns. Many people even don't use the group name SJ anymore, but directly use "mantou" to replace them.

NCT went from being the rising star and SM's new generation boy group to having a dim future. The scandal involving a member caused enmity with fans of all other senior groups, and the so-called team spirit was shattered, breaking the filters and glass hearts of countless fans. The fans, who were not united to begin with, were completely split, and the situation of them quitting became more and more serious day by day, and the group became half-dead.

The scandal of EXO is also very serious. In addition to further confirming the credibility of Park Chanyeol's nickname "Di Pao", it also made Kim Jong-in's image much worse, even worse than Park Chanyeol... Park Chanyeol has been known for his playful behavior since his debut, and fans have long been accustomed to it, while Kim Jong-in's personality is that of a silly little bear, which has led to a complete reversal of his image now, making fans very sad.

This also made EXO, which has been unlucky this year and has seen several members' love affairs exposed one after another, increasingly lose popularity. Compared with its heyday in the past two years, it seems quite embarrassing.

More importantly, Ji Kyung-won, the absolute top member of EXO, was also revealed to be in a relationship this time, which was the biggest blow to many fans.

Even though SM gave a recording of the denial, many people have already determined that Chi Jingyuan's relationship is real, and no matter how much he denies it, it will be useless.

Not only passers-by and anti-fans think so, but many A.I.R.S. actually think so too... Although after the official clarification, some fans saw through it but did not say it and did not quit being fans, but they actually knew it in their hearts.

Of course they couldn't hate their oppa...so they could only vent their anger and resentment on those shameless women.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

So from that day on, A.R.I.M. and the original fans launched a large-scale anti-action against the three women mentioned in the recording, Bae Joo-hyun, Bae Suzy and Twice, leaving messages on various forums, video MVs, company official accounts, etc., venting their unhappy emotions as if they were besieging them, and all kinds of dirty words and sarcastic remarks could be seen everywhere.

…No matter whether they have broken up or not, and no matter who the partner is, a bitch will just attack.

Because Twice did not specify which member was the target, everyone was attacked. For a moment, Once, which was already quite large, was overwhelmed and had no power to resist. All nine members of Twice were under considerable pressure.

...However, the prettier and more suspicious they look, the harsher they are scolded, while no one cares about those who look average. I don’t know what they think about this.

Among them, because of some posts and speculations, as well as a lot of seemingly existent evidence, Mingjing Nan is the most suspicious in the eyes of many Ailis, and her anti-heroes are the most fierce.

…………

After seeing some insulting words about himself under an irrelevant piece of news, Ming Jingnan silently closed the webpage and stared at the dining table and dishes in front of him in a daze.

She has been under a lot of pressure and in a bad mood recently.

But it’s not just because of the abuse from her boyfriend’s fans… If it were just these anti fans, she would be very angry and sad when she first saw it, after all, these people’s insults are very ugly, and this is the first time she has encountered such an anti fan since her debut, and she does not have the rich experience that Lin Nayeon has.

But to be honest, after the initial anger and embarrassment, these swear words no longer have much destructive power, and I've gotten used to it.

And they were indeed right, she did secretly take down the oppa whom they worshipped as a god...so just curse her and don't watch it.

What really made Ming Jingnan uncomfortable were other things.

It's an emotional thing.

Because Chi Jingyuan was too outstanding and had a certain personality, she had always been very sensitive to the women around him and had never felt secure in her relationship.

I had been trying hard to maintain it and play dumb before… but this time, a recording revealed everything.

How could she not know after listening to that recording?

The lingering ghost of the dead woman, Bae Suzy, never left, and she kept hovering around her like a shadow.

And compared to others, she actually knew more. Bae Joo-hyun had very few roles in the recording, and Wen Taiyi was certain that she and Ji Jingyuan had broken up long ago.

But Ming Jingnan knew very well and had seen it with his own eyes. This old woman hated Chi Jingyuan so much that she kept finding various excuses to hang around him like a fly. Her intentions were obvious to everyone.

This is just what Wen Taiyi knows... Although this idiot is an insider in the circle, he doesn't even know that she and Chi Jingyuan are dating. It is obvious that he is not very well-informed.

Therefore, there may be more that he didn't know and didn't say...

Mingjing Nan really felt a little bad.

Although she knew something about many things that happened before, she just deliberately ignored them and endured them, pretending not to care.

She tried not to think about it on purpose, but these things seemed to jump out at her on purpose.

…But even if she knew, what should she say?

Coupled with the recent turmoil, all kinds of things have come together and exploded.

The company's serious request and hint of breaking up, the cancellation of the long-awaited cooperation, the anti-fans of Aili and the black fans, the guilt caused by the involvement of teammates, and the boyfriend's side, all of these put her under tremendous pressure, like a mountain pressing down on her and making her breathless.

Even though she took the initiative to apologize to her teammates, and even though Chi Jingyuan called to comfort her, it still didn't relieve much. She felt more and more depressed, but she still habitually pretended that nothing was wrong every time...especially in front of Chi Jingyuan.

“…”

Momo Hirai was chewing casually with a smacking sound in her mouth. She glanced around and saw Nan Mingjing who was in a daze again across from her.

She had seen this situation many times in the past few days and had comforted him many times, but after seeing it this time, she couldn't help but feel angry. She quickly swallowed the food in her mouth and said angrily:

"oops……"

"You've made yourself so miserable... If it really doesn't work out, let's just break up."
