Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 210 Knowing My Brother (Three in One)

Park Jung-jung asked for leave from the crew and went directly to JTBC TV station the next day to participate in the recording of the variety show Knowing Brothers.

The variety show "Knowing Brothers" can be said to be one of the few programs in recent years that has gained some popularity overseas. Although it cannot compare with "Running Man", it is still one of the few.

The annual viewership ratings fluctuate between 4% and 6%, which is quite good for a variety show on a cable TV station.

So when did this show have the highest ratings?
The answer is Lim Young-woong, a singer who became famous for singing trot. Trot is a kind of pop music native to South Korea. It is difficult to accurately compare it with folk songs. It can be roughly understood as early Korean pop music. It sounds a bit rustic and was loved by young people in the past, who are now middle-aged and elderly people.

He single-handedly raised the ratings of Knowing Brothers by 10%, bringing the show to an unimaginable 15%. It can be said to be so terrifying that there is no precedent and it can definitely be said that there will never be another like it.

The popularity of this thing is ridiculously high, and it has completely captured the hearts of middle-aged and elderly people. The sales of the first album after its debut reached 1.1 million copies in a week, directly surpassing all solo idols or singers. This is almost purely local sales. Foreigners don't listen to trot and don't know it. This local popularity surpasses everyone.

It was only after the fan circles had compiled the statistics as usual that they discovered the existence of such a strange person. They could not compare with him no matter how they tried. The fan circles that were accustomed to pulling down their opponents became listless at this time.

It was the first time for Kwon Hyun Hyuk to come to JTBC TV station. He was the first to arrive after following the staff to the waiting room. Later, Shin Hye Sun and Bae Jong Ok also rushed to the scene. When they saw Kwon Hyun Hyuk arrived early, they greeted him with a smile.

Shin Hye-sun has currently taken on a new drama called Queen Cheorin. Coincidentally, Bae Jong-ok has teamed up with her again and also starred in Queen Cheorin, playing the third role.

The ratings are very high, and it is also a drama that many film and television marketing accounts particularly like to edit. Many people use it for the fun of watching Korean dramas.

However, the adaptation seemed a bit excessive, and some people accused it of distorting Korean history, vilifying the royal family, devaluing Korean culture, and having explicit lines, which caused great controversy.

Public complaints poured in, and viewers demanded that the show be taken off the air. Some Korean people even petitioned the Blue House to interrupt the broadcast. After all, petitioning is a long-standing practice of the Korean people.

In the end, the Korean Communications Commission announced that the drama was given an administrative guidance penalty of "advisory" for distorting history, but it did not affect the soaring ratings of the following episodes. However, after all, the social impact caused was not good, so the reputation was not very good, which also had some impact on Shin Hye-sun's subsequent development.

When the three of them gathered, the program crew conducted a pre-interview with them, and asked Quan Xuanhe whether he had ever interacted with the members of Ren Ge.

There is no way they can connect at all. One is in the film and television circle and the other is in the variety show circle. Quan Xuanhe has never been on a variety show, so how can there be any intersection? He naturally shook his head.

But if you ask him who he most wants to interact with, it would naturally be Kang Ho Dong. The reason is simple: he is the biggest star.

He is not a professional variety show actor anyway, so it is useless for him to pay his respects in the variety show industry. Actors have their own variety show circles to attend.

Three Meals a Day, House on Wheels, Fifteen Nights on a Business Trip, Smart Life series, etc., all have main casts, but compared to long-established programs, they are not very well-known, and because the cast is composed of actors, they are not very well-known in KPOP.

Behind all of the above programs there is a core leader, Luo Yingxi, who is the real god in the variety show circle.

After finishing the brief interview, the three met and exchanged greetings with several MCs. The biggest star today was none other than Bae Jong-ok. She was older than Kang Ho-dong, and her qualifications and age were unmatched by others. She was always praised wherever she went.

Several people exchanged greetings and got to know each other first, especially Kim Heechul. He exchanged a few more words with him. It was obvious that he had already known about the relationship between Kwon Hyun Hyuk and Chou Tzuyu from Momo. Having such a common identity, he felt somewhat closer to him and would take better care of him on the show.

The show officially begins.

At the beginning, several MCs were sitting in the classroom making a lot of noise. The topic of conversation became more and more off-topic, and the three of them stood behind the door waiting for the director's instructions.

Finally, the director gave a signal, and Shin Hye-sun pushed open the door and walked in first, followed by Bae Jong-ok and Kwon Hyun-hyuk. They exclaimed, looked towards the door, and then cheered.

"It's so noisy. Your voices are the only ones I can hear in the hallway."

Pei Zongyu shouted to the people in front of him with a smile. This program was used to being noisy sometimes. Several MCs began to react, with cheering looks on their faces, especially Kang Hodong, who was shouting in a hoarse voice, which was very deafening.

"We transferred from Extremely Afraid of Variety Show High School."

The three of them gave brief self-introductions, and the meeting ended with Quan Xuanhe.

Several MCs started praising each person according to the script, and when it was Kwon Hyun Hyuk's turn, Kim Heechul came out to speak.

"Xuanhe could have been my idol junior."

Kim Heechul turned his head to look at everyone and spoke loudly.

"Why not?"

One of the MCs, Xu Zhangxun, interrupted at this time, clearly mentioning the fact that Quan Xuanhe was eliminated from the audition due to behind-the-scenes manipulation, and deliberately challenged Kim Heechul to make him speechless.

Quan Xuanhe was not afraid of this matter being mentioned. At this point, the audition was completely settled. What was there to be afraid of? Instead, he spoke first and said something with a smile.

"Maybe you should ask the person inside."

Who else could that be? Of course it’s the program’s PD Ahn Joon-young.

Such a bold and straightforward hint, which couldn't even be called a hint, was a rather unconventional answer, which immediately made several people laugh and marvel.

"Xuan He is truly amazing."

Not everyone has the courage to speak so boldly, and it is indeed rare in this place. Lee Sang-min, who was sitting at the back, stood up at this time and looked straight at Kwon Hyun-hyuk.

"I understand you."

His words caused confusion among the audience, and Quan Xuanhe bluntly refuted it, "Brother, I made a mistake."

Lee Sang-min's huge debts due to suspected operation of a casino and being sued by his ex-wife for property are now a frequently mentioned topic on the show.

I thought he would say something, but he was directly retorted by Kwon Hyun Hyuk. Such hot and straightforward words made the scene a scorched earth, and made Lee Sang Min smile bitterly and unable to speak. With a bitter expression, he sat back in his seat silently, picked up the bottle of water, unscrewed it and drank it to ease the embarrassment.

"Xuan He's words are really sharp."

Kang Ho Dong twisted his head and looked at Kwon Hyun Hyuk with a sighing expression, speaking in an exaggerated tone.

It's amazing that he was able to let go on the show for the first time and was able to both create and respond to gags.

"Otherwise, how could he have given such a good acceptance speech?"

Xu Zhangxun praised at this time, saying that the biggest hot topic surrounding Quan Xuanhe in recent days was his acceptance speech, which created quite a buzz and was bound to be mentioned on the show.

"Yes, Xuanhe's acceptance speech was really cool."

This caused a chorus of responses from the crowd.

"Because I think this is a happy and exciting award that will motivate me to work harder, I have positive emotions that I want to pass on to the audience."

Quan Xuanhe said with a smile at this time.

His statement also drew nods of agreement from everyone present.

"Romantic Doctor Kim 2 is also very popular, and Hyun Hyuk's acting is also very good in it. I have been watching it." Kim Yong-chul, who was sitting at the front of the classroom, mentioned it again at this time.

When the camera was focused on Kwon Hyun Hyuk, subtitles like entries were added during the broadcast.

#Highest viewership ratings exceeded 30%#
#The new star Quan Xuanhe#
#Best New Actor#
#The actor who created the buzz#
#Beauty and talent coexist, a new actor representing the Korean Wave! #
It is true that Kwon Hyun Hyuk has been very popular recently. Compared with the two old faces who are already familiar to the audience, he can indeed create bigger topics on the Internet.

"Has anyone said that Hyun Hyuk's eyes look like Won Bin's, and they're really beautiful?"

Kang Ho Dong looked at Kwon Hyun Hyuk in a loud voice, then turned to look at the camera and spoke with a confident look on his face.

His style is bold, direct and somewhat rough, which is completely opposite to the style of another famous person, Yoo Jae-seok.

"When we were filming together before, there was a scene with Xuanhe. His eyes were so vivid, and the way he looked at me really touched me instantly."

Shin Hye-sun on the side remembered something and interrupted. She didn't say that for the sake of show effect, but she really thought so.

Quan Xuanhe's personal conditions are so good that many people envy him. Nowadays, which star doesn't have plastic surgery? Actors are the same. Younger actors have to get injections or go under the knife. There are very few who are completely natural. Actresses are not spared, and any actor who wants to get some benefits from his appearance has to have plastic surgery.

"Camera, Xuanhe, look at the camera and perform."

Kim Heechul encouraged him and tried to get him some shots.

Quan Xuanhe naturally would not refuse. For him, it was enough to perform on the spot.

The venue suddenly became quiet, and several main cameras turned to face his face. Quan Xuanhe took a deep breath to adjust his state, and then the expression on his face changed.

He looked towards the main camera on the side, his eyes became focused, then his brows drooped, and tears gradually accumulated in his eyes. Then he blinked his eyes away, smiled with his eyes curved, and imitated the current idol trend of winking and grinning.

If you just stare when doing a show, it will definitely not have any effect. So you have to add some lively emotions so that they can continue the jokes and not just give a few dry compliments and then move on.

The scene was so large that it was impossible to see the subtle changes in his eyes clearly, but they were captured by the camera.

Although they didn't see it very clearly, they could tell that tears welled up in Quan Xuanhe's eyes at that moment. It was not easy to mobilize emotions at this moment, and it immediately caused exclamations from the audience. It was a deliberate effect of the variety show, but also a real sigh.

"Crying? Crying in an instant?"

Min Kyung-hoon spoke at this time, his expression was very surprised, and he looked around with wide eyes.

Pei Zongyu, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but smile in approval when he saw Quan Xuanhe's ease.

"Is this ridiculous?"

Kang Ho Dong opened his green eyes wide and looked at the camera, blinking hard, like sesame seeds sprinkled on a pancake, black and small.

"You'll only scare the audience if you open your eyes wide."

Lee Soo Geun saw Kang Ho Dong's funny look and grumbled, "The audience will just feel annoyed."

This caused chaos again at the scene. Kang Ho Dong laughed with a red face. After the situation calmed down a little, Bae Jong Ok, who was standing next to Kwon Hyun Hyuk, began to explain.

"It's not easy to change and control your emotions in an instant, especially in this kind of situation."

Pei Zongyu is also a professional professor. You can tell a person's level by looking at their performance, so her words are naturally more convincing.

"It's been less than a year, and his acting is amazing."

The opening was over with a few people talking at the same time, and what remained was the question-and-answer session for everyone.

The first two people chatted and laughed as they left. When it was Quan Xuanhe's turn, he stood in front of the stage and started talking.

"When I was a trainee, something happened that left a very deep impression on me. I still think about it often."

Quan Xuanhe said casually that he did remember an incident that impressed him when he was a trainee at SM Entertainment, and it was also related to Liu Zhimin.

"Answer me. Because he was too handsome, the other trainees chased him and he finally ran into a wall." Lee Soo Geun muttered a string of words without hesitation as soon as he finished speaking, as if he was speaking with a serious expression and not thinking.

"Wrong, I was still a trainee at SM at the time."

When Quan Xuanhe said this, he looked at Jin Xiche. He was surprised and astonished when he heard it, "Really? You were a trainee at SM?"

This was something Kim Heechul had never heard of before and had no impression of it at all.

"Yes, it was the show I participated in when I was a trainee at SM."

Kwon Hyun Hyuk revealed here that he had been a trainee at SM before. This information is still unknown to the outside world. Will it cause some strange reactions after he said it on the show?

For example, are there any female Korean entertainment novels with him as the male protagonist that create such a plot?

For example, if they meet by chance at SM company, he will be deeply impressed and fall in love with the heroine, and they will form a relationship early on. Or, in the end, the powerful heroine will save him from danger, change his future star path, and save him from the black hands of the talent show, or become a savior to defeat the shady talent show, so that he will be deeply intoxicated by the heroine, fall in love at first sight, be devoted to her, and cannot let go.

What a classic novel plot.

This information is what fans and audiences are happy to dig deep into and use as material. Wouldn't it be just right to put it into the plot of the novel?
"I never thought Hyun Hyuk had been a trainee at SM."

Kim Heechul said in surprise.

"Oh, you're an SM person and you don't even know about it?"

Xu Zhangxun accused him at this time, and he was not polite at all.

"It's normal not to know. I worked at SM Entertainment for a short period of time before, but I left."

Quan Xuanhe explained with a smile at this time.

"Answer: I found being a trainee very different. I was severely taught a lesson by my seniors."

Xu Zhangxun took this opportunity to raise his hand and speak.

"A bit like that."

Quan Xuanhe nodded in approval.

"The correct answer is, because I just started as a trainee and wasn't used to the relationship between my seniors and juniors, I ended up getting taught a lesson."

"Just a little bit."

Quan Xuanhe pretended to be embarrassed and tilted his head and said.

At this time, Lee Soo Geun raised his hand for show effect, "Correct answer, because I was ignored by Kim Heechul at the company, and finally he was called to the corner and slapped hard."

As he spoke, he acted out a little skit with Lee Sang-min behind him, yanking him by the collar with a grin on his face and then, with his hands outstretched, pretending to slap him twice. "Hey, kid! Don't you know I'm a superstar?"

This made Kim Heechul burst out laughing.

"Correct answer. When I first joined the company, I passed by a senior and was asked why he didn't say hello. In the end, I was taught a lesson."

Finally, Xu Zhangxun raised his hand again and explained clearly.

"correct."

Quan Xuanhe nodded and knocked down the air hammer in his hand.

What actually happened was that when he first arrived at SM company, a short-sighted trainee bullied him by relying on his seniority. However, the trainee didn't know that Quan Xuanhe was a tough guy, so he fought back and grabbed the man's collar, forcing him to bow and call him senior.

What a joke. Park Jung-jung sent him in as a trainee for a short period of time because of an acquaintance of his. Isn't that equivalent to having someone behind him? He is afraid of nothing. Besides, he is tall and strong and the oldest. It would be easy for him to deal with a little brat.

This rubbish doesn't work in front of him.

Liu Zhimin, who was also in the corner of the practice room at the time, saw the entire scene. The fierce and neat scene of Quan Xuanhe was imprinted in his mind and the memory was quite deep.

"Oh~ Xuanhe will be bullied?"

His words surprised even the traditional Koreans, who stared at him in shock.

The reason is simple. At first glance, Quan Xuanhe is tall and handsome. Most importantly, he is definitely older than others. How could he be bullied?

Quan Xuanhe explained with a smile: "Actually, it was like this. On my first day there, no one knew me. They didn't know I was older than them, so this happened."

"and then?"

The people in the audience asked in unison.

"Then he naturally called me senior after he knew it."

Quan Xuanhe said it simply, but anyone with a little bit of common sense would know that it was not a matter of a simple sentence. There was probably a conflict. However, this kind of thing involving bullying between seniors and juniors naturally could not be said too much. The topic was still a bit sensitive, so it was just a matter of saying a few funny words on the surface.

The questions from the first three people have come to an end here.

Here are the steps for the game.

Because there were three guests, they were divided into three groups and played a movie guessing game.

Quan Xuanhe played this game half-understanding and half-confused.

The reason is very simple. He would naturally watch and study classic movies carefully, including classic Korean movies. However, he has also watched movies with high ratings, but he has not watched some of the popcorn movies in the past, so when asked about this.

So Quan Xuanhe just sat there staring blankly with a confused look on his face.

"Correct answer: Fast and Furious."

Finding a suitable opportunity, Quan Xuanhe finally understood something and raised his hand to answer. A ding-dong-ding sound was heard, and the answer was correct.

"Hey Gu, the poor kid finally got one right."

Lee Soo Geun, who was in the same group with him, interrupted and said something with pretended emotion, which made Kwon Hyun Hyuk laugh and cry.

"Sitting there I thought it was wood."

Lee Soo Geun mumbled something again while looking around, and his villain look made people laugh.

Then they started playing a song guessing game, and this time Quan Xuanhe was completely dumbfounded. Except for him, the youngest, everyone present was over 35 or 36 years old. The songs played by the program team were all old songs from the 1990s and the beginning of the century, which he had never heard of. He was basically confused and completely disappointed.

Lee Soo Geun next to him answered the first half correctly, but when it was his turn to answer the second half, he looked blank and couldn't say anything, which made Lee Soo Geun completely speechless, "Is this kid's answer reasonable? His mouth really got a good rest today."

Lee Soo Geun speaks very humorously, and his remarks on the show are full of witty remarks, which are very effective. He can make people burst into laughter with just one sentence.

Quan Xuanhe was speechless after being ridiculed like this. He also found what he said quite funny and couldn't help but applaud and laugh.

The goal of variety shows is to get a good show effect. It doesn't matter if some jokes are used to make fun of them. You have to be relaxed when doing the show. At least the show's weight is obtained.

The recording took a whole day to complete, and it was already time for dinner when the show ended. After it ended, everyone said goodbye.

Kim Heechul came up and asked, "Do you have any plans tonight? If you have time, how about we go out for dinner together?"

Quan Xuanhe calculated in his heart and nodded readily in agreement. There was no need to wonder why Kim Heechul looked for him. The reason was very simple. Besides, the younger generation of Koreans just like to eat, drink and have fun. This is especially true in the entertainment industry. This is the general trend.

"Thank you, Xiugen."

In the second half of today's show, Lee Soo Geun threw a lot of jokes at him, which probably left him with a lot of weight in the show. Not to mention how much he needs it, but at least he has to express some expression.

"It's ok."

In private, Lee Soo Geun is not as slick and witty as he is on the show. Instead, he seems to be quiet and his reactions are rather dull.

After the show ended, everyone went their separate ways. After the show ended, Kwon Hyun Hyuk followed Kim Heechul, and was called by him to meet a few more people, both men and women.

There are quite a few familiar faces, including Wu Xiarong and Jin Xuexuan
I don’t know how he has the heart to invite people of the opposite sex out for drinks and dinner. I don’t know what Momo thinks, but he reported his schedule to Chou Tzuyu as soon as possible.

Then Quan Xuanhe ate and drank as usual without any delay.

"Honestly, I didn't expect you to be with Tzuyu."

Kim Heechul looked at him and said with emotion.

"What do you mean?" Quan Xuanhe asked with a smile.

Kim Heechul: "This kid is not easy to get along with."

Zhou Ziyu's popularity and straightforwardness make her difficult to pursue, and it's quite rare for someone as unrelated as Quan Xuanhe to be able to pursue her.

"Of course it depends on sincerity."

Quan Xuanhe smiled and said that he was introduced by the right person and met at the right time, and Zhou Ziyu met the right him.

This is what is called fate.

"Ma Jia, treat Tzuyu well."

Kim Heechul and Momo have been dating for three years now, and there isn't much passion left between them, but to the outside world they are still a newly-minted couple, and for him, such a long time is extremely precious.

In the outside world, Momo's image as Kim Heechul's girlfriend is that they are almost certain to break up sooner or later. How can a Momo have the ability to control the playboy Kim Heechul?

It was just that a girl in love met a senior in the industry and was completely fascinated by him. In the end, he won her over without much effort. After she had enough of the Japanese two-dimensional image of a girlfriend, her passion gradually faded and they broke up.

"You too."

From his memory, Quan Xuanhe knew that the press release about their breakup would be issued the next year, but when the press release was issued, they had actually broken up long ago. They just found a suitable time to announce the news to the outside world, so basically they had been dating for three years or more than three years.

It takes quite a long time.

　I really want to write about a variety show, but without any characters related to the plot, some book lovers might find it boring, so I won’t waste too many chapters and will release it all at once.
