Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 414 Reunion after a long absence

"Have a nice trip and be safe on the road. I'll come see you guys again when I'm done with this."

Quan Xuanhe stood at the edge of the airport and sent his mother to the airport.

After staying for almost a month, Park Junrong had almost finished handling the affairs in Korea, and was about to return to China.

"Ugh."

At the time of parting, Park Junrong still felt a little reluctant to let him go.

"Find a girlfriend as soon as possible. It's not good for you to be single all the time."

This sentence contained a lot of meaning. Quan Xuanhe just nodded to reassure her, "I can find it if I say so. It's mainly because I'm busy at the moment."

"I am leaving."

Park Junrong no longer listened to his perfunctory words, waved at him, and left with her suitcase.

Watching her leave, Quan Xuanhe couldn't help feeling a little reluctant, but his family's visit to Korea had come to an end, and the next time they met might be when he went to China.

It is now mid-May and summer has already arrived. The girls in Seoul are all dressed up in fancy clothes, and the breath of summer is completely sweeping in.

The crew was in good order, but a piece of good news came into the phone.

"The role is taken!"

"Took it?"

"Got it! You really deserve it. With your qualifications, you are the perfect actor for Chungmuro!"

Park Jung-jung's tone on the other end of the phone was delighted, and his words were full of joy, which showed that this news was indeed the most confidence-boosting thing compared to other aspects.

In South Korea, starring in a big director's work is an even more rare and valuable thing. Don't even think about getting any traffic. Movie actors are movie actors, and Korean Wave is Korean Wave. Capital is crazy about profit, and the phenomenon of traffic supremacy almost never occurs.

The culture of the older and younger generations is ingrained in our bones, and this is especially true of the barriers of rank and status.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk was naturally happy. Although he was very popular, starring in Park Chan-wook's works was still considered a high-end for him. There was no need to be so arrogant as to lose face of reality just because of his temporary popularity.

[Kwon Hyun-hyuk stars in Park Chan-wook's new work, a popular star and Chungmuro ​​go hand in hand! ]

[Determination to break up! Director Park Chan-wook's new film has finished casting!]

[Kwon Hyun Hyuk plays the second male lead, once again playing the role of a detective, perfectly balancing the image of a Hallyu actor and Chungmuro ​​actor! ]

The casting news has attracted much attention in the industry. After all, it is Park Chan-wook's new work. It can even be said that it has attracted the attention of most people in the industry. They are paying close attention to the progress of the project and have already been excited before filming began.

Although the process of Kwon Hyun Hyuk winning the second male lead role does not seem to be very thrilling or eventful, it is actually quite surprising to outsiders.

After starring in a hit melo drama, he directly took on a project in Chungmuro?

Is this the normal process for Korean pop stars?

Anyway, the news has been released like this, and people in the circle still have to think about Kwon Hyun Hyuk's power. This good news may also be more helpful to him in his sprint for the Baeksang Newcomer Award.

but but
"The 15th Night of Business Trip" was also broadcast at this time, and the show effects created by Quan Xuanhe were very funny.

Some of the funny effects he created made the audience watching the show burst into laughter. Among them, the classic cry in silence [Nisahaki] and [In-company blind date], two hilarious clips created with Han Hyo Joo, created the highest number of views and even left a deep impression in this year's variety shows.

He is handsome and funny, isn't that likable?
Of course, what made the fans scream the most was that Kwon Hyun Hyuk accidentally read out Kim Ji Soo's name when guessing the character!
The company didn't say anything, and the program crew didn't even edit it. It was broadcasted so openly, which was a moment that made CP fans celebrate.

[The secret love affair is confirmed.]

【I really don’t believe this unless we talk about it.】

【The lover I never forget.】

[I cried so hard after watching this amazing drama, sisters, who understands. 】

This even came to the attention of Kim Ji-soo, who saw it too.

Kim Ji-soo looked a little strange. When she saw Kwon Hyun-hyuk guessing the name on the screen, she mistakenly called out Tang Wei's photo as hers.

She didn't know whether to feel offended or glad that Quan Xuanhe remembered her.

Quan Xuanhe can be weird and annoying sometimes. If she doesn't take the initiative to talk to him, Quan Xuanhe won't take the initiative to talk to her either.

Although the two haven't talked since the official announcement of their breakup, Kim Ji-soo felt that Kwon Hyun-hyuk was too cold and heartless, saying one thing and doing another.

After all, it has been a month or two, and the slightly surging and hesitant emotions in her heart have gradually resolved themselves over time. Quan Xuanhe's indifference may be the key.

It feels like a misplaced investment.

After gradually realizing this, Kim Ji-soo felt complicated.

Now back to the topic, what has Kim Ji-soo been doing recently?
In go-kart racing.

He is busy with the variety show KartRider again, and also participated in an online fan meeting live broadcast of KartRider two days ago, smoothly transforming into a game anchor.

One moment they look like a cool and arrogant member of the world's top girl group, and the next moment they look like they are screaming while playing games. The contrast is very charming.

"I didn't expect the production team wouldn't cut it. Sorry."

After the show was broadcast and caused a small heated discussion because of Kwon Hyun Hyuk's slip of the tongue, he took the initiative to find Kim Ji Soo to explain the situation.

"It's okay, it's just a show."

Kim Ji-soo pursed her lips. If Kwon Hyun-hyuk was in front of her, she might pretend nothing happened, smile and shake her head to say it was okay, but he was not in front of her, so there was no curve at the corner of Kim Ji-soo's mouth, and even her eyes were silent.

"What have you been up to lately? Just working on that go-kart?"

How does he know?

Kim Ji-soo, who had believed in her heart that Kwon Hyun-hyuk was a man who abandoned her and that the relationship ended inexplicably because she didn't understand what kind of person he was, her eyes moved and she felt a little shaken, but she still replied patiently.

"I really like playing, this is my hobby."

"You can watch it on YouTube, and there's a live broadcast?"

It felt awkward to chat. Anyway, Kim Ji-soo was not in a very good mood at the time, nor was she very angry. In short, she was in a complicated mood.

"Yes, congratulations on starring in director Park Chan-wook's new film."

Even if she has not yet embarked on the path of acting, Kim Ji-soo knows what level of director Park Chan-wook is, and is slightly moved by Kwon Hyun-hyuk's performance. It is really hard not to pay attention to him as he makes rapid progress.

In contrast, Kim Ji-soo has no projects. Firstly, the company no longer gives her advice, and secondly, she is busy with the company's group schedule.

"Thank you."

"What have you been busy with lately?"

"there is nothing."

"Then maybe we'll meet again."

what?
Kim Ji-soo was a little surprised. "Do we have any plans in common?" "They told me about the promotional video for the Dior show. I think you told me too."

She was about to say no, but a message box suddenly popped up with the itinerary plan sent by her agent, which was exactly the same as what he said.

"Oh, it seems so."

"See you then."

"Ah."

At the same time, aespa also released the MV for Next Level on the same day.

It debuted at number seven on Melon, with an audience of 150,000, 20 million views on YouTube on the first day, and over 2 million likes.

As for the physical album sales, no physical album will be released for this comeback, so the above is the performance of aespa on the day of their comeback.

At this time, Kwon Hyun Hyuk was on his way to SM company to meet aespa.

Challenges are becoming more and more popular nowadays, and the purpose of Quan Xuanhe's visit this time is to take photos with them.

Previously, aespa was invited to attend his fan meeting. Regardless of the relationship between his uncle and Lee Soo-man, this kind of thing requires give and take, and posting the promotion on Instagram was also on point.

not to mention.
The conflicts within SM company began to emerge as early as 2018, and they began to intensify further in the first half of 2021. In May, there were rumors that Lee Soo-man was selling his shares, and Naver and Kakao heard the news and came to seek mergers and acquisitions.

When SM Entertainment's struggle with Lee Soo Man and the acquisition incident at the beginning of 2002 and 2003 were at their peak, the conflict had completely intensified and was brought to the table for a life-and-death fight with no possibility of mediation.

Therefore, aespa did not have many plans during the period from the second half of 2002 to 2003, and their plans were put on hold.

He was filming in the morning and had no time to meet them at their company, so he could only spare time in the evening to meet them. When he drove here, the SM company building still made him feel familiar.

Although I haven't been here for two years, when I come here again, the memories of the past still come to my mind bit by bit.

"Let's go this way."

After he arrived, the SM staff took him all the way into the company and took the elevator to the practice room floor.

It was late at night and most of the employees had gone off work. The people who were in the company at this moment were probably mostly trainees.

"This way."

Kwon Hyun Hyuk nodded and followed him to the door of a practice room. After opening it and going in, he saw several members of aespa waiting for his arrival.

Do you have to come to the company specifically to prepare for shooting a challenge video of just a few seconds? Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?

But this is the situation. Challenges are very popular now. They have gone from being an impromptu process to a necessary process, and running around for it is a must.

"Ani-Asayo."

Quan Xuanhe walked in. SM's practice room was no longer blue sky and white clouds. That was a thing of the old days. The current practice room was newer, brighter, and more design-oriented, with an improvement from 360P to 1080P.

There were staff members in the room filming with handheld cameras, and they were obviously treating this as a small material, so they couldn't communicate as freely as outside the camera.

The four people had been waiting for Quan Xuanhe's arrival early. It was self-evident who was in the most wonderful mood.

When Liu Zhimin saw Quan Xuanhe coming in, her heart trembled with the sound of the door opening, and then her eyes looked for him. After seeing him, she looked away and pretended nothing had happened.

The captain wants to say hello!
Jin Dongtian secretly glanced at Liu Zhimin who didn't react at all. He ignored her for the moment and smiled, "Oppa Ani Asayo."

The lens of the handheld camera turned to Quan Xuanhe.

He simply changed out of his costume and wore long sleeves and long pants. Without any elaborate makeup or styling, he looked very realistic.

"Here's some coffee and some snacks for you. I'm sorry for disturbing your rest so late."

Quan Xuanhe put the bags in his hands on the floor of the practice room and said with a smile.

The little girls cooperated very well and cheered. Liu Zhimin's slightly dull reaction was concealed among the crowd. He just squatted down, bent down and tried to pick it up.

"Thank you oppa."

Jin Dongtian looked at Quan Xuanhe, her voice was sweet and her smile was bright.

When meeting acquaintances, there is no awkwardness and they can start chatting in just a few words.

"I watched Oppa's show, it was very interesting."

Ning Yizhuo looked at him with a smile in his eyes, even looking at him with a funny look. Liu Zhimin on the side was peeping at him.

"I didn't want everyone to know this side of me, but it's exposed."

Quan Xuanhe replied with a smile, but Ning Yizhuo and Gisele laughed happily, covering their mouths and laughing non-stop, especially Ningning's laughter, which sounded quite strange.

Liu Zhimin was like a coward and didn't say anything at this time, so it was natural for Jin Dongtian to step forward and teach him how to dance Next Level.

"First like this, then like this, and finally lift your arms up."

Quan Xuanhe watched Jin Dongtian's movements and tried to imitate them, but his movements were a bit clumsy.

"Fool."

Liu Zhimin watched his clumsy movements with his back to the others, muttering and cursing him under his breath, with a look of gloating.

At this time, Quan Xuanhe turned his head and looked at her, which scared Liu Zhimin so much that she subconsciously took a step back. Her eyes suddenly became confused and timid, and she pursed her lips and was a little nervous.

Can you hear this?
“Do this.”

Jin Dongtian, who was standing by, saw that he was imitating the movements clumsily, so he simply grabbed his arm and manipulated it, pulling his arm back. "It felt like a jerk back."

?

Liu Zhimin watched Jin Dongtian doing it herself, his eyes suddenly locked on her hands, and his eyes moved with her movements.

Is this appropriate?

She secretly complained and felt a little displeased, but she held it in and said nothing or showed anything.

"OKOK, Arathor."

After Quan Xuanhe followed Jin Dongtian to perform it again, he nodded quickly and made an OK gesture. He had no problem learning this short dance.

"Let's do it twice. Let's separate and dance with Oppa in pairs."

Jin Dongtian's familiar command made it seem to outsiders that she was the one with the best relationship with Quan Xuanhe, and Liu Zhimin was just an outsider.

"Okay, I'll follow your instructions."

At this time, Quan Xuanhe glanced at Liu Zhimin again to see what expression was on her face, but unfortunately, he couldn't see much. Liu Zhimin had a cold face again and didn't seem to be very upset.

To outsiders, it seemed that Liu Zhimin was not interested in Quan Xuanhe's arrival and wanted to get things over with.

Quan Xuanhe took the initiative to give Liu Zhimin a friendly look, but in return Liu Zhimin avoided the gaze and pursed her lips.
