Based on IU's understanding of Jeon Ji-ryong, she has no doubt that Jeon Ji-ryong would do such a thing.

It's worth noting that although IU has never accepted Jeon Ji-yong's advances and affections, and has even expressed her feelings openly or subtly on multiple occasions, Jeon Ji-yong has remained aloof and self-centered.

Any male artist or celebrity who gets even slightly close to IU will be suppressed by Jeon Ji-yong.

However, what Jeon Ji-yong might see as a display of his masculinity, IU saw as an arrogant egomaniac, which made her even more disliked.

Because of Jeon Ji-yong, some of IU's original friends in the industry were forced to distance themselves from her due to pressure.

Given Jeon Ji-ryong's status in the Korean entertainment industry, he might not have the ability to deal with IU, but he wouldn't pose much of a threat to IU's less famous male friends.

Upon witnessing this scene, IU instinctively assumed that Jeon Ji-ryong knew that Lu Ming was her idol and had come specifically to warn him, just like he had warned her friends on the Peninsula Island.

What are you doing in someone else's lounge?

Thinking of this, IU looked at Jeon Ji-yong with a hint of dissatisfaction on her face.

Previously, considering Jeon Ji-yong's fame in the Korean entertainment industry, and given IU's personality of not wanting to cause trouble, she would back down whenever possible when faced with Jeon Ji-yong's harassment.

Even though her close friends became somewhat distant from her because of Jeon Ji-yong's threats, IU didn't interfere much.

After all, we're all in the entertainment industry in the Korean Peninsula; we should at least give them face.

However, if Jeon Ji-yong upsets Lu Ming, causing her idol to have a bad impression of her, then IU would definitely not be able to accept it.

If that's really the case, IU wouldn't mind breaking ties with Jeon Ji-yong.

Despite being a top star in the Korean entertainment industry and even having some fame in Asia and the world, IU is not intimidated by him at all. In fact, IU is even more famous than him in some aspects.

Although Jeon Ji-yong's fame is no less than IU's, he debuted as a member of a boy band and is still subject to the management of an entertainment company.

However, IU debuted as a solo artist without much financial backing, yet she still became one of the top national treasure-level female singers in the Korean Peninsula, which demonstrates her strength.

"That guy is absolutely despicable!"

Upon hearing IU's words, Jeon Ji-yong seemed to have found someone to confide in, and hurriedly said to IU in front of him, "I originally came over to say hello and get to know him, but I didn't expect him to be so rude and even hit me!"

Quan Zhilong certainly couldn't say that they came to provoke him first; he just deliberately said that they came to say hello.

After saying that, Jeon Ji-yong stretched out his hand, which was red and swollen from being grabbed, as if hoping to gain IU's sympathy.

If he could gain IU's sympathy through this, it would be perfect for Jeon Ji-yong.

In Quan Zhilong's view, he and IU are both singers from the Korean Peninsula. They are participating in an event at Hunan TV, a foreign place. When IU sees the injury on his hand, she will definitely empathize with him, comfort him, and criticize Lu Ming.

"You're saying he hit you first?"

Upon hearing Jeon Ji-yong's words, a hint of doubt flashed across IU's face, and she couldn't help but have some suspicions about what Jeon Ji-yong had just said.

If IU didn't know much about Lü Ming, she might have been fooled by Quan Zhilong's words.

However, IU is a loyal fan of Lü Ming, and even went so far as to travel to China to find information about him. While she may not know Lü Ming very well, she does know at least some of his background.

Although it's not uncommon for Lü Ming to take action, there has never been a case where Lü Ming attacked someone without any provocation.

Even if he had taken action against certain people on those shows, it was only after those people had offended him first that Lü Ming retaliated.

Therefore, in IU's opinion, Jeon Ji-yong was definitely lying.

If it really was just as Quan Zhilong said, that he came over to say hello, then Lü Ming was definitely not the kind of person who would attack someone who just greeted him.

He definitely provoked us first!

Just from Jeon Ji-yong's words, IU could roughly guess what had just happened.

"Still not leaving?"

Lu Ming, who was inside the room, thought they had all left, but when he looked up, he found that Quan Zhilong, who should have left, was still standing there at the door of his lounge, pointing at him and talking to a girl standing to the side.

Before participating in the "Asian King" program, Lü Ming had a general understanding of the top singers from the peninsula and island nation who were participating, so when he saw that girl, he immediately recognized her as IU, a national treasure-level female singer from the peninsula.

Seeing the scrutinizing look in IU's eyes, Lü Ming assumed she had come to demand an explanation from Jeon Ji-yong. He stepped forward and looked at IU and Jeon Ji-yong with a displeased expression.

"What do you want to do?"

Upon seeing Lü Ming, Quan Zhilong felt a surge of fear and instinctively wanted to shrink back. However, as if remembering something, he feigned bravery and stood in front of IU, adopting a hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress demeanor as he said to Lü Ming, "Do you still want to make a move? I absolutely will not allow you to hurt IU in front of me!"

After finishing speaking, Jeon Ji-yong glanced at IU behind him, hoping to see a hint of emotion on her face.

"Yes, yes!"

At this moment, Fatty Du seemed to have gained courage. He hurriedly got up from the ground, stood next to Quan Zhilong, and shouted at Lü Ming, "With so many people watching, I don't believe you still dare to make a move?"

The female translator from Hunan TV standing behind IU only noticed Fatty Du, who had just gotten up from the ground, at this moment. When she saw the footprint on his body, she instantly understood what had happened and couldn't help but feel a little smug.

To be honest, as a staff member of Hunan TV and IU's translator, she actually disliked some of Du's behavior, especially his attitude towards Quan Zhilong, which was almost like treating him like royalty, which made them, the translators, very confused.

Quan Zhilong is just a singer from the peninsula. No matter how famous he is, he shouldn't have this attitude.

If it were just like that in private, that would be one thing, but the key point is that Fatty Du is still like this even on TV shows or on camera.

Putting aside the fact that you, Fatty Du, are one of the hosts of Hunan TV, just the fact that a Chinese person should not have such a servile attitude towards people from the Korean Peninsula is simply unacceptable.

I thought it was the Qing Dynasty!
Died early in the morning!
"You're going to stand up for him?"

After hearing what Fatty Du and the others said, Lü Ming frowned slightly and looked at IU in front of him coldly.

For Lü Ming, he didn't care about IU's identity at all.

Putting aside the fact that Quan Zhilong provoked Lü Ming first, Lü Ming felt perfectly justified in taking action. Even if Fatty Du insisted on standing up for IU, Lü Ming wouldn't mind making the other party stumble and fall.

"IU, don't be afraid, I will protect you!"

"I will absolutely not allow this thug to hurt you!"

Upon seeing Lu Ming's cold expression, Quan Zhilong felt a chill run down his spine, but he still forced himself to stand in front of IU and turned to speak to her.

Quan Zhilong had expected to see a hint of emotion on IU's face, but he found that IU was not afraid of Lu Ming's cold expression at all. Instead, she looked at Lu Ming like a fangirl, which made Quan Zhilong a little confused.

Is this awkward?
Before Jeon Ji-yong could ask IU what had happened, IU, who was standing behind him, suddenly pushed him aside, then walked up to Lu Ming, looking at him with admiration and saying, "Oppa, you were so cool just now!"

Ah? ? ?
Not to mention Quan Zhilong, even Lü Ming was full of doubt.

Lu Ming thought that after hearing his words, IU would at least be somewhat angry, if not furious. But to Lu Ming's surprise, there was not a trace of dissatisfaction on her face. Instead, she looked at him with admiration.

As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face!
Seeing IU's expression, even if it made Lü Ming angry, he couldn't get angry.

IU looked exactly like a fan meeting their idol, showing absolutely no intention of standing up for Jeon Ji-yong.

"IU, what are you doing?"

Jeon Ji-yong, standing to the side, looked at IU with a puzzled expression, his eyes filled with incomprehension. "How could you say that?"

In Jeon Ji-ryong's opinion, putting aside his self-proclaimed 'vague' romantic relationship with IU, IU shouldn't have done that, given that they are both compatriots from the Korean Peninsula.

If we do that, where do we put his face?

You should know that he had just been taught a lesson by Lü Ming, and he didn't have the slightest goodwill towards Lü Ming. Otherwise, he wouldn't have forgotten to put a bad word to Lü Ming when he heard IU's question.

What do I have to do with you?

IU glared at Jeon Ji-yong with displeasure. She already didn't have much of a liking for him, and now her impression of him was even worse.

You should know that because of Quan Zhilong, her idol, Lu Ming oppa, almost had a much worse impression of her.

"Oppa, I'm your fan!"

After saying that, IU completely ignored Jeon Ji-yong, who was jumping up and down beside her. She pulled out the photo album of Lu Ming that she had spent a lot of money to get from her pocket, looked at Lu Ming pitifully, and said to him with a glimmer of hope in her eyes, "Can you sign this for me?"

Looking at IU, who was gazing at him with hopeful eyes, Lü Ming never expected that this national treasure-level female singer from the Korean Peninsula was actually his fan.

However, looking at the photo of Lü Ming that the other party pulled out, which was probably produced by some unscrupulous merchant, one has no choice but to believe this fact.

That means the IU in front of him is really his fan.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get these photos.

It's worth noting that Lü Mingke has never released any photo albums. Back when she was at the height of her popularity, she was too busy making money in other areas to pay attention to these kinds of photos.

After Lü Ming's scandal broke, when he tried to make money off his fans again, it was too late. Nobody bought his photos, so the photo album was forgotten.

Now, with Lü Ming's current fame, if he wanted to release a photo album to make money, he could probably easily rake in a large sum of money.

But
Lu Ming is not short of money now!

Even if they are short of money, they won't care about such a small amount.

Not to mention, this photo is from when Lü Ming won the music variety show last time, probably taken by some unscrupulous merchant who secretly took a screenshot.

"it is good!"

As Lü Ming picked up the pen IU handed him and signed his name on the photo, he asked IU with some confusion, "Why do you know me?"

Although he was happy to have such a famous fan base, Lü Ming still had some doubts.

So, where exactly did IU find out about Lü Ming?
It's worth noting that Lü Ming hasn't even figured out how to make it in the domestic entertainment industry, let alone develop his career in the Korean Peninsula or expand into the international market.

Logically speaking, Lü Ming shouldn't have much fame abroad.

Just like Quan Zhilong's view of Lü Ming, he didn't take Lü Ming, who is now a top star in the Chinese entertainment industry, seriously, and thought that Lü Ming was just some small-time artist.

"Thank you!"

IU looked pleasantly surprised as she put away the autographed photo by Lü Ming, and then explained the reason to him.

Just like what IU said to her female translator before, IU also happened to see Lü Ming's program online, and then gradually became a loyal fan of Lü Ming from the initial curiosity.

According to IU, she not only knows a lot about the variety shows that Lü Ming has appeared on, but she has also watched Lü Ming and Sister Zheng's love-hate relationship and Lü Ming's previous drama "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" several times. For this, IU even specially learned some Chinese.

Although not exactly fluent, at least I can communicate smoothly with Lü Ming without needing a translator.

So you can speak Chinese!
When the female translator next to her heard IU communicating with Lü Ming in fairly fluent Chinese, she couldn't help but feel that her role as translator seemed somewhat superfluous.

IU has rarely communicated with people in Chinese, so everyone almost assumes that IU doesn't know any Chinese at all, which is why a translator was arranged for IU.

Now it seems that IU is not incapable of speaking Chinese.

IU simply doesn't want to tell anyone.

If IU's female translator felt somewhat helpless seeing Lu Ming and IU's interaction, then Quan Zhilong, who was standing to the side, was so jealous that he wanted to kill someone; his heart was burning with jealousy.

You have to understand that he has been pursuing IU for so long, and IU has never chatted with him so enthusiastically before.

Especially looking at IU's expression, she looked like she was enjoying herself, which was nothing like the perfunctory attitude she had when chatting with him.

In what way is Quan Zhilong inferior to Lü Ming?
Quan Zhilong truly couldn't understand why IU was so enthusiastic towards Lü Ming, as if he were one of her crazed fans seeing him. (End of Chapter)
