Peninsula Asteroid

Ji Jingyuan's sudden dullness and self-doubt made Zheng Endi stunned, and she looked at him in confusion.

...He was clearly so domineering just now on the phone, urging people to quit the group and send them to jail, how come he became like this the next second?

"Hey, why are you suddenly complaining to me about your relationship problems?"

But Jung Eun-ji didn't respond. She frowned and looked at Chi Jingyuan, saying speechlessly, "Shouldn't I be the one complaining about the mediocre performance of this solo album?"

Jung Eun-ji returned with her second solo album more than a week ago, but compared to the outstanding performance of the first album, the overall performance of this second album was disappointing. It only sold 15,000 copies in the first eight days after its release, and there was no improvement in the music charts. It has not even been in the top ten on Melon since its release.

There is no title song that has become a hot topic because of the passionate family love. This time, the entire album does not even have a slightly hit song. Overall, the response can only be said to be mediocre.

The performance of the group Apink's last album declined significantly. After their last drama "Unreasonable Progress" in 2015 received mediocre reviews, they couldn't get any good resources. It has been two years since then. They could only rely on their voice to take on some OSTs. This time, their second solo album was not satisfactory.

The group failed, the acting failed, and the solo also failed. Her best performance in the past two years and the most popular activity was actually the "stay with me" OST of "Goblin" that she collaborated with Ji Jingyuan at the beginning of the year.

The company is unable to provide any help. Busan Auntie Jung Eun-ji has obviously reached a bottleneck in her career development. This is also a problem that female idols debuting in girl groups will encounter after a certain number of years of debut.

This time it was because of the poor performance of the second album, and she was not in a good mood. Although it was still during the activity period, she took time out to ask Chi Jingyuan to come out for a drink. In addition to caring about the recording incident some time ago, she mainly wanted to vent the recently accumulated emotions with her good brother.

...The competition in the entertainment industry on the Peninsula is really fierce, and the pressure on artists is really great. Many times they really need to relieve stress.

Originally, she was the one complaining there, drinking and lamenting how difficult it was to be an artist and how her future was uncertain. She hadn't even finished her complaints yet, but suddenly, Cheng Chi Jingyuan was the one worrying.

What are you worried about? Your idol career has been at the top of the Peninsula for two years, and your acting career is also unrivaled. You are going to go beyond the Peninsula and step into the world... Not to mention that you don't have any financial pressure at all.

As for feelings... do you really not know what kind of personality you have? Isn't it strange for someone like you to say such things?

To be honest, facing Ji Jingyuan's questions, Zheng Endi really found it difficult to empathize with him, and even felt that he was a little pretentious.

...But after all, they have been good brothers for many years. Since he is in trouble, she will of course give him some help.

She glanced at Chi Jingyuan, who was silent after drinking a sip of wine, but still did not answer him. Instead, she rolled her eyes and asked curiously, "Is that Japanese girl so attractive? She actually made you so confused?"

Her voice was somewhat playful: "I heard that you wanted to break up... But is breaking up something that would make you hesitate? I remember that when you broke up with Na Eun, it was completely straightforward. You didn't even meet in person, you just made a phone call and resolved it, right?"

Hearing her suddenly mention the past, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but reminisce. The past scenes appeared in front of him, and immediately diluted the emotions in his heart. He couldn't help but laugh: "Why do you suddenly mention this... When did that happen?"

"It may be a long time, but you are still the same person. It can't be that your personality has changed so much in just these few years."

Jung Eun-ji also sneered, picked up the wine glass and proudly drank it down in one gulp. His face was not red and his heart was not beating, showing his true nature as a drunkard. With a slightly mocking tone, he said meaningfully: "Don't tell me that you have learned from your mistakes in the past few years and want to turn over a new leaf and be a good man..."

Of course, Chi Jingyuan heard the sarcasm in Zheng Endi's tone, but he didn't care. Instead, he paused for a moment after hearing it, as if thinking about something.

""

"By the way...are you really planning to fabricate a crime to send that person to jail? What makes you so angry this time?" Jung Eun-ji took a bite of her meal and suddenly asked another question.

"You have no idea how hateful... and ridiculous this idiot is."

When Chi Jingyuan heard this, anger showed on his face without hiding it, but he still defended himself: "Also, I didn't forge the charges. That bastard was already a poisoner, and he was with Li Ruixi before she even reached adulthood. Even if I wasn't there, he would have been in jail if they just did a little investigation... I just let him stay in there for a little longer under the care of her."

"As expected of a chaebol, I've seen this kind of thing in TV dramas before."

"Don't talk like you're some innocent girl. There are many dirtier things in the industry than this... You've been in the industry for many years, and you're almost thirty. Don't you feel disgusted?"

"Ai Xi, I'm only one year older than you, do you want to die?"

As they chatted casually, the topic seemed to change slowly, and Jung Eun-ji started eating with big mouthfuls of wine.

She worked very hard to maintain her figure during the event period. She finally found a day to indulge herself a little, so how could she not cherish it?

But after a while, Chi Jingyuan seemed to remember the question just now. He was talking about something else, but suddenly stopped and looked at Zheng Endi with a frown: "...You haven't answered my question just now."

"What's there to answer? You are really confused..."

But the Busan woman didn't care at all. She waved her hand carelessly, as if she had seen through the world and understood Chi Jingyuan very well. She said: "With your personality, when you can ask such a question... you already have the answer in your heart."

She glanced at Chi Jingyuan's empty glass, took the initiative to pick up the soju bottle to help him pour the wine, and said casually while shaking her head:

"Look at you like this...if you want to drink again in a few days, remember to find me."

…………

The storm caused by Wen Taiyi and Lee Seo-hee began to surface on April 8th, and now it has been almost half a month. From the beginning, to the climax, to the end, it was like a scene from a humorous drama, giving the Peninsula fan circle and some passers-by an unparalleled emotional experience.

Although SM has now responded publicly and the incident has been barely resolved and the heat has decreased slightly, the subsequent impact and aftermath are still spreading.

Moreover, the impact and heat caused by the climax period in the middle are unmatched, overshadowing the heat of many things in the past half month.

Because of this incident, even some of the activities originally planned for EXO's 5th anniversary of debut were hastily postponed... Unknowingly, EXO, which debuted in 2012, has already been around for five years.

...Based on past experience, boy bands and girl bands of this year are about to start negotiating contract renewals with their management companies.

At the same time, although the heat of the scandal has overshadowed a lot of news, the music industry and the entertainment industry will not stop because of this. When the heat gradually cools down, looking back, it is found that many things that have attracted attention have happened in the past half month, such as IU Lee Ji-eun holding an audition and releasing preview photos to prepare for her comeback. The news of her collaboration with G-Dragon on a song has been reported. This comeback is highly anticipated and many people are paying attention.

...At least Kim Taeyeon is very concerned about it.

However, although so many things have happened, the most important thing for Ji Jingyuan is the upcoming 53rd Baeksang Arts Awards.

The Baeksang Awards also announced this year's candidate lineup yesterday, April 19th. Because last year produced many high-quality TV series and movies, and many big names gathered, the attention paid to Baeksang Awards this year is obviously greater than in previous years.

The tvN "Goblin," which aired at the end of last year and was a huge hit, also reaped many awards, including Best TV Series, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Screenplay, Best Popular Actor, Best Popular Actress and many other heavyweight awards.

Among them, the male and female protagonists of the drama, Ji Kyung-won and Bae Suzy, were both nominated for the Best Actor and Best Actress, which also caused great discussion.

Because of the two's superb performances in the drama and their perfect harmony, coupled with the huge popularity of the "Goblin" series, especially the recording scandal that just emerged that suspected that the two were together in real life, as soon as the news came out, fans of "Goblin" were eagerly looking forward to the 'Goblin couple' winning both the Best Actor and Best Actress awards to achieve the ultimate achievement. Even many passers-by were in favor and wanted to see a good story.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is difficult.

But Chi Jingyuan's chance this time is really great.

Unlike the two times he was nominated for Best Actor in previous years, his competitors Lee Sung-min and Jo Jin-woong were both very strong and happened to be senior actors in the same drama, so Ji Kyung-won ultimately missed the opportunity and was just a runner-up.

But this time in "Goblin", he is the complete main star. The influence of the series is outstanding, and his performance in it has been unanimously recognized by people inside and outside the industry. There is a great possibility that he will win the Best Actor Award at the Baeksang Awards this time.

But Bae Suzy’s performance was a little bit off… Besides, the organizers would not allow one drama to win both the Best Actor and Best Actress awards.

However, "Goblin" is too popular, and the popularity of the two is too high. Compared with the "Sun Couple" that was a big hit last year, it is only slightly different. The organizers will not give up this gimmick...

According to their usual style, Bae Suzy may not be awarded the Best Actress award, but as expected, they will give the Popularity Awards for Actor and Actress in the TV Drama Department to Ji Kyung-won and Bae Suzy, allowing the Goblin couple to reunite on stage, which is both popular and well-deserved.

But in this case, it will be difficult for Yoona, who has dominated the Popularity Award for many years and even relies on this award to participate in the Baeksang Arts Festival every year. Even she will find it difficult to compete with Bae Suzy.

So... Yoona senior may have seen that the enemy was too powerful and it was not her fault, so after a little thought, she changed her mind, put "the K2" behind her, and participated in the competition for the Best Popular Actress Award in the film department as the heroine of the movie "Cooperation", and did not participate in the competition for the TV series.

Yoona sunbaenim...is already a movie star.

"Our Yoona is now a movie actress and has already reached the next level."

——No matter what, her fans of senior Lim Yoona won the Popularity Award excitedly said so online.

On the other hand, Ji Jingyuan was busy with his work while deliberately keeping a low profile, and red velvlet went to Zhou Ziyu's hometown to promote the event. Bae Suzy also started working after resting for so long. In addition to accepting the hosting case of Baeksang Arts this year, she was also taking photos all over the world.

Although he would often receive some special editions for internal use at night while taking normal photos during the day, he was not around after all... and Chi Jingyuan was actually in a bad mood recently, so he didn't react much to this.

Twice has been busy with its new album recently. Even Park Ji-hyo, who had a broken leg, has returned to the group, but the impact of the previous incident with Moon Tae-il has not yet passed.

Mingjing Nan was still the same. Although they didn't meet often, every time she called him, she still looked unaffected and spoke in a relaxed and happy tone.

But Chi Jingyuan could sense that the depression in her heart not only did not dissipate, but became deeper and deeper, and her mood seemed to be getting lower and lower.

...Some things happened and they will happen. You can deceive others but you can't deceive yourself.

Every time he saw her trying hard to maintain the same atmosphere as before, her heart still full of him, and heard her soft voice, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but feel an irresistible and uncomfortable sense of guilt.

Although the way things have developed to this point, in addition to Wen Taiyi, there are also many problems of his own...but he really, really hates this feeling.

It would make him feel depressed and uncomfortable...it would also make him feel that compared with Mingjing Nan's all-out efforts, he was extremely excessive and very bad.

After drinking with Zheng Endi last time, Chi Jingyuan actually understood what he was thinking after being pointed out by his good brother, but he was still a little hesitant.

He has figured out his own thoughts...then, what about Ming Jingnan?

If it were in the past, or if it were someone else, he wouldn't care about these things...but after such a long relationship, the other person's eyes were full of him and his unreserved love touched him after all.

...It even reminded him of his past self.

So even though he had some thoughts in his mind, he never said anything. But after a few days, he felt that his girlfriend was getting more and more depressed, and he felt that he couldn't delay it any longer.

EXO's third tour that started last year is about to end, and SM Entertainment also announced this week that XO will hold an encore concert in Seoul in May, so in addition to being busy with his return to the company these days, Ji Kyung-won has also been busy with fitness.

"Oppa, I'm going to change my clothes first..."

Minatozaki Sana and Chi Jingyuan waved their hands, said goodbye with a smile, and prepared to go to the locker room to change clothes.

Chi Jingyuan came to the gym early today. As soon as he came in, he happened to meet Minatozaki Sana who had just arrived. The two chatted all the way and then prepared to go their separate ways.

However, Chi Jingyuan looked at the back of Minatozaki Sana, and some emotional thoughts were brewing in his mind in the past few days. He hesitated for a moment and called out to her:

"Sana... do you want to get some coffee together later?"
