People on the Peninsula: I Became a Lucky Koi

Chapter 92 The World is Bad, Jin Can is Good! Nicknames, Explode! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

In the Japanese restaurant, a brief silence fell over the wooden private room.

Mina and Sana Minato stared in shock at Momo Hirai's actions as she quickly kissed Kim Chan on the cheek.

She sat back down, her long, brown hair hanging down beside her face.

Jin Can was gently patting Mina and Sana's shoulders, comforting them.

He was somewhat bewildered.

"Want to date me, Chan?"

"Suppose I can't debut—" Hirai Momo raised her hand and brushed her long hair back to the top of her head.

Since I can't debut, this is what I want to do most.

"A very profound love."

Hirai Momo added that this matter felt like a new lifeline.

Otherwise, she wouldn't know what reason to use to stay in Seoul—

"Ugh—" Jin Can's face twitched slightly as he stared at Hirai Momo: "Aren't we friends?"

He immediately released his arms from Mina and Sana's shoulders, as if to avoid suspicion.

Mina looked down at her shoulder, then at Kim Chan's current smug look, and rolled her eyes in exasperation.

—It was you who insisted on sticking up to me just now.

Can Sang!

"Don't be friends." Hirai Momo shook her head, then pointed at Mina and Minatozaki Sana: "You'll be their brother-in-law."

Jin Can almost choked on his water: "Cough cough."

Sana Minatozaki realized what was happening and rushed over, shouting, "Damn it!"

"No, Momo!"

She vehemently refused with her arms crossed, so why did she confess her feelings?

Now that Sana Minatozaki thinks about it, she also feels that what Can-san said makes a lot of sense. Be patient and wait, maybe good luck will come?

".."

Mina also shook her head in protest, saying it was too hasty.

Jin Can also thought it was too hasty, but he quickly understood Hirai Momo's thoughts, which were simply that she had encountered too many setbacks today.

"Suzy and I are dating."

These words brought Hirai Momo to her senses a little.

She covered her face in despair and cried again. A moment later, the heartbroken Genki-hime suddenly stood up from the tatami.

Hirai Momo looked at the wooden screen in the private room, then at Kim Chan: "Are you trying to kill me, Chan-san?"

After speaking, she bent down, preparing to bow her head towards the screen.

"ah!"

"Damn it!"

"ah!"

Jin Can and the other two quickly surrounded her and stopped her.

Hirai Momo felt so ashamed that she couldn't face anyone.

"The problem is you'll debut." Kim Chan helplessly handed over a tissue.

Momo-san is quite nice, but now that he knows she won't perish at the speed of light, he's not in such a hurry.

Moreover, this kind of confession.

Accepting it would not only be hasty, but would also seem like taking advantage of someone in distress.

I was immature, but how can you, Momo-san, be so immature as a girl?

After crying shakily for a while, Hirai Momo put the confession out of her mind and asked, "Can I really debut?"

"Yes!" Jin Can replied.

Mina and Sana nodded repeatedly, "Absolutely."

"Really?"

"able!"

After the boring conversation was repeated several times.

Hirai Momo glanced at Kim Chan somewhat embarrassedly; Chan-san was still dating Suzy.

However, she did not apologize.

Dating isn't marriage; you never know when you might break up.

Seeing that Hirai Momo was much better, Jin Can breathed a sigh of relief and then joked, "—So, what am I now?"

"Brother-in-law?"

Hirai Momo nodded emphatically, agreeing.

But I still feel a little sad about being eliminated today.

"Why don't you call him brother-in-law first?" Jin Can looked at Mina and Sana Minato and teased them.

"Nisuchi!"

2.

After that, the atmosphere improved a lot.

After eating a slice of sashimi, Kim Chan picked up his phone to reply to Bae Suzy's message:

[Suzy, you should love me more!~]

Another day of great chastity!

.——

The dinner party has ended.

Before the three members of the Sakura Line left, Minatozaki Sana and Hirai Momo suddenly grabbed Kim Chan's arm with one hand each.

Mina stood on tiptoe, struggling to reach Kim Chan.

Jin Can frowned: "What?"

Mina's small hand had already touched the top of his soft hair and rubbed it vigorously.

Immediately afterwards, a wave of heat from being rubbed emanated from Jin Can's two arms—

Sana Minatozaki puffed out her cheeks: "I heard that Nayeon unnie absorbed your good luck today, which is why she was able to advance smoothly."

"Please bless us so we can debut together!" Mina's voice was soft, but her face seemed somewhat nonchalant.

It seems he was just playing along with two close friends.

But she rubbed her golden hair very hard, as if she were taking revenge.

Hirai Momo said with a pious expression, "You should break up with Suzy-senpai as soon as possible—and also, I want to debut too, God."

Back then...

Nayeon unnie lost her wallet and prayed to "God," and then Chan-sang placed her wallet on the front desk in front of her.

Hirai Momo didn't take it seriously at first, but now she's desperate and willing to try anything.

"Am I some kind of mascot?" Jin Can's face twitched slightly, thinking, "What a bunch of superstitious weirdos."

However, it's worth noting that both Japan and South Korea have a strong belief in this stuff. In South Korea, besides the numerous and varied cults, many families are Christians.

..

Kim Chan's solo debut did not fade away; on the contrary, with the orderly broadcast of "The Producers" and multiple buffs such as #CurtainGate #MercedesGate #World'sFirstGreen #TwilightLove

Aside from the continued rise in the number of songs on the charts, the Big Bang album series has no visual appeal whatsoever.

Wrong, no, {Music Theft} is one of their new tags, especially after Kim Chan and Suzy's relationship was exposed. The hype surrounding "Targeted Attraction" and Big Bang's comeback title track has made them fiercely competitive on various music charts.

The three largest comprehensive daily newspapers in South Korea, each with an entertainment section, are: Chosun Ilbo, JoongAng Ilbo, and Dong-A Ilbo.

All three newspapers published their front pages on June 3rd.

[A rising star in the Great Cold Netherworld—Simon!]

[JYP's monster rookie Kim Chan's debut album goes head-to-head with Bigbang and holds his own! Bigbang is clearly losing ground!]

:

[June 3rd News]

[A month ago, every controversial move Simon made—giving the middle finger to antis, directly responding to haters in his album, and not shying away from relationship rumors—contradicted the "humble, grateful, and taboo about love" image carefully crafted by his stylist.]

[However, it is precisely this "imperfection" and even "offense" that has unexpectedly resonated with a large number of young people.]

"He became the kind of person we all aspire to be but dare not be," a 20-year-old college student said in an interview. "In the face of malice, instead of bowing and apologizing, he directly confronted it; if he liked someone, he approached them openly. That's very real."

[Seoul National University sociologist Park Hyun-jung believes that the Simon phenomenon reflects the weariness and irony of Millennials and Generation Z towards traditional authority and hypocritical etiquette. In a highly competitive and repressive social environment, a person who dares to display aggression—]

The anti-JYP fans outside the JYP building were so angry they almost laughed after seeing the online daily reports.

The light of Generation Z?

What's going on with them?

Following the CP fans of [Brilliant Little Taeyang], another CP fandom has emerged online: [Soochan (Poor)] CP fans.

These people delved into the details of Bae Suzy and Kim Chan's interactions, finding them increasingly intriguing.

Jin Can ignored the antis downstairs and instead looked at the team that was cheering for him in an increasingly large way.

"Oppa!"

"We, M, will always be by your side!"

"S! Keep going, don't pay any attention to those bitches on the other side of the road!"

"Kamsammida." Kim Chan nodded with a smile, thanking the thirty or forty people in front of him for their support.

As for S and M.

These two names suddenly started circulating a couple of days ago.

The official fan club name for "Simmons" has not yet been announced by the company, while Moon Seo-yoon, Yoo Si-jin, and the other two are busy coordinating with staff to establish an official fan club.

But within the fan base of celebrities.

In addition to the company's official fan club, there are also fan sites, some of which are spontaneously formed by fans.

According to Jin Can's understanding.

After becoming a "traitor" to EXO, a fan of Baekhyun promptly created a fan site for him.

The site is almost entirely filled with "traitorous ninjas".

In a stroke of genius, the fan site admin simplified Kim Chan Simon's stage name to the capital letter "S," while these fans who were on the fence referred to themselves as the lowercase "M" of the stage name.

Very clever idea—

Jin Can didn't know if this was their strange post or something else.

But he realized that EX0 is a group that has a long history of "traitors"—members run away, and fans run away too—which makes perfect sense!

#

noon.

Kim Chan, who was laughing and joking with Lim Nayeon and others at the company, suddenly saw Park Jin-young.

The old uncle looked somewhat helpless.

He called Jin Can into a conference room and first delivered some bad news: "Congratulations, Can."

"You have a nickname now—"

"A derogatory term?" Jin Can asked in surprise.

:

In fan culture, celebrities have nicknames and derogatory names. There can be many nicknames, and the same goes for derogatory names.

However, derogatory nicknames can also be transformed into honorary titles. For example, the nickname "Empress" from Girls' Generation was originally a derogatory nickname, but it later became an honorary title.

The terms "big stick" and "stick bitch" in BIGBANG were originally derogatory, but later became terms of endearment.

For example, personal nicknames and derogatory terms.

G-Dragon: Ma Long.

Jiang Dasheng: Car accident.

"What is it?" Jin Can asked in confusion.

In South Korea, there's been no word of it. Currently, his most popular derogatory nicknames are "royal family member" and "pretty face."

What have I done to deserve this?

Kim Chan-kwon and Lim Yoon-ah shared the title of "pretty face," but fortunately, the release of their debut album dispelled this notion somewhat.

But there are still antis, and skepticism persists.

Park Jin-young hesitated, finding it difficult to speak, and said, "This derogatory nickname is something you and Kim Tae-yeon used together."

"CP name?" Jin Can raised an eyebrow.

Park Jin-young shook his head: "It came from China."

He was greatly shocked after carefully reading the implications of the derogatory term.

"You know, that's eo-I's headquarters."

These days, Kim Chan's deeds have already spread throughout the Korean entertainment circle. Whether it's the Mercedes-Benz incident, the curtain incident, or the world's first green dress, they're all too explosive.

Jin Can pressed further, "And then?"

Park Jin-young took a deep breath: "Simon Chan—Kim Tae-ryun."

"What did you say, 'Brother Yao'?" Jin Can's eye twitched, and he laughed in exasperation.

What kind of dog-male-female CP names are they?

Park Jin-young knew from his expression that he understood what was meant.

After all, Jin Can speaks Chinese, and his family also has some knowledge of Chinese, so they are very familiar with some classical allusions.

Park Jin-young took out his phone and handed it over.

The above is a summary of information about this "derogatory nickname." He Ni said, "Do you remember when you and Suzy first met, Lee Min-ho went to the set to celebrate Suzy's wrap-up filming, but she left with you, and this was spread among people in the industry?"

"I remember." Jin Can nodded. To be honest, this guy is much more carefree than Baekhyun.

Park Jin-young added, "Later, you and Kim Tae-yeon were photographed outside a bar? Byun Baek-hyun set you up on Instagram, causing you to be cyberbullied, and then we used that to our advantage, making him the world's first 'green hater'?"

"Hmm." Jin Can turned around and realized that everything was actually connected.

Even if he didn't do what Baekhyun did, his appearance was indeed inappropriate at those two crucial moments involving Bae Suzy and Kim Tae-yeon.

So, in the rhythm of Byun Baekhyun, Chinese fans stood up.

This "derogatory nickname" is just as ingenious as the way he became famous—

"Right now, there are rumors at Dongda University that you might have gotten involved in the relationship between Im Yoon-ah and Lee Seung-gi." Park Jin-young also found it somewhat absurd.

He added, "Some people also say you are Korean—Cho Ah-chan."

"They specifically target people in their dating phase—Nichkhun, watch out."

"Is there anything else?" Jin Can was speechless.

Even today, the old vase is still holding itself back!

Park Jin-young shook his head, but then quickly added, "There's also good news."

"I'll tell you later—"

Jin Can sat down on the sofa and began reading the origin analysis of "Xi Men Can - Jin Tai Lian" on the Dongda University forum.

""

The entire text explains that "simon" can be translated as either Simon or Ximen, and then Chinese fans provide a lengthy explanation of the story of Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian.

From then on, Kim Tae-yeon became Kim Tae-ryun.

Jin Can was somewhat impressed by these people's imagination; he used Park Jin-young's account to "dislike" the post.

That's fine.

Jin Can chuckled, seemingly unfazed.

K-pop is just a small circle at Tokyo University, a niche interest. If they really aim for international stardom and global fame, generating buzz is essential. Furthermore, true stars need a large following.

Instead of staying in that small circle and indulging in their self-indulgent fantasies.

There are two sides to everything. In their past lives, some racist celebrities were still defended by a group of fans at Dongda University, so much so that passersby were confused and couldn't tell which side was good or bad.

In any part of the world, Jin Can can guarantee that no one likes a perfect person.

His romantic relationships, and now the "negative nicknames" that have emerged, are all manifestations of his imperfections.

Once fans accept it, they become frighteningly loyal, just like the rebellious fans from Baekhyun's side who adopted a small "m" as their fan name.

"S" and "m" are heading in both directions.

Jin Can even suspected that the dazzling keyword "Loyal Orange!" might have been activated.

"Can you release a winter album in winter?" Jin Can asked.

Park Jin-young thought for a moment and said, "Sure."

To be honest, this kid's album is selling well, and sales are still slowly increasing these past two days.

"I will release Chinese songs in it," Jin Can laughed.

Whether it's Simon Chan or Cao A-chan, for the fans who will continue to fall into the fandom in the future, this is the path he came from.

He didn't care, but his fans could immediately see the mud, the stumbling steps, and the pain along the way.

[geigei, even my heartache for you is out of sync, sob sob~o(TT)o]

That's about it.

Some people need to embellish and exaggerate their personal success, but Jin Can needs to fabricate his pain and hardship.

"in addition."

"Let's cut ties with Baekhyun," Kim Chan said again, guessing that SM Entertainment couldn't wait any longer.

Park Jin-young smiled and said, "That's exactly what I wanted to talk about. There's a post about you on the forum that's gone viral."

This is the good news he was talking about: "A post clarifying your relationship with Kim Tae-yeon #MercedesOneDoor#, and the video has a very high number of views on YouTube, reaching 150 million views since it was posted last night."

"So many views?" Jin Can asked, somewhat surprised.

It's worth noting that this year's K-pop hits, such as Big Bang's first title track "Loser," only garnered 446 million views in 24 hours.

Like EXO's "CalIMeBaby" 24h470w.

Jin Can's "Untitled" sold 490 million copies on its first day, but it didn't stay strong. It didn't have the same staying power as "Preference Sniper". This song is more like a traditional K-pop dance song.

With the #CurtainDoor# trending, this song has become increasingly popular, almost like a love anthem.

Park Jin-young nodded: "Most importantly, this post was not made by us, nor by SM Entertainment."

C

"You're a true die-hard fan; you might remember me."

Jin Can took the tablet in surprise and saw the title of the trending post:

Who is the true royalty, Bian or Simon? #Mercedesgate# Inside Story Revealed! Bian's methods are dirty!

[Your mom's balm!]

Thunder start.

[Could you please stop playing the victim? You're revealing your true colors!]

[(picture)]

The images show albums and photocards that the poster once bought from Byun Baekhyun, indicating a considerable amount of spending.

[Kai Sai Gi! When you were spouting that pathetic nonsense about not dating before 35, did you even consider your fans' feelings? Last year, when your relationship with Taeyang was exposed, you hid behind that short guy and didn't say a word!]

[But at the end of March this year, when the media stirred up rumors and slander, falsely accusing Kim Chan-oppa and Tae-yi of a twilight romance, you jumped out? Deliberately hiding past posts showing affection, wasn't that you, you bastard?]

[You were the one who orchestrated the cyberbullying and public opinion, weren't you? And now you're setting up Kim Chan oppa, aren't you? Please! Qiuqiu, you little bastard, stop playing the victim and trying to create this pitiful, heartbroken persona!]

[——Damn it! %#￥! ]

Start with a Spirit Frame.

Jin Can's lips twitched as he watched; this kind of fan defection and backlash is the most ruthless!

But upon seeing the poster's ID [颜值即正义], he seemed to guess who the poster was: Jieao Jie.

[Next, we'll reveal the truth behind the #Mercedesgate# scandal!]

[First of all, please use your brains. If Aunt Tae really were dating Oppa Kim Chan, would she be so stupid as to continue driving that Mercedes?]

[(video)]

Click to watch the video.

Hong Xiya's small face appeared in the video; yes, she's his number one fan site admin.

Initially, he was being called "shiba" (a derogatory term for someone who is obsessed with good looks), but later he was being called "[good looks are justice]" and quickly cut ties with Byun Baekhyun.

The video's color tone is orange-yellow.

The location was in front of a convenience store, like an evening movie.

Hong Xiya held a strawberry-flavored ice cream in her hand. Because of the heat, her thin, airy bangs mingled with the fine sweat on her forehead.

She happily pursed her lips and took a bite of the ice cream.

With her head tilted slightly, the video angle also tilted to follow Hong Xiya's angle, and Jin Can's profile appeared on the left, leaning back in a rattan chair, his cheeks glowing with warm light.

Then, a conversation took place in the video.

"Oppa~"

"I feel guilty about my past self." Hong Xiya pouted, her small face showing some apology: "I'm sorry for leaving a bad impression when I blocked your way when I was against you."

"And now I'm shamelessly eating your ice cream—"

Jin Can tilted his head and glanced at her naturally, then chuckled softly.

The smile on his face, reaching out to passersby, looked exceptionally warm.

"——."

Jin Can looked at himself on the screen and thought he looked pretty handsome in the photo.

That one quick glance back—

Immediately afterwards, a conversation began in the video.

Hong Xi-ya asked him timidly, "Oppa, a lot of people are against you now, just like I used to be. Will you be sad?"

Jin Can didn't directly answer, "Tomorrow will be better—"

These words were spoken calmly and plainly.

However, under the highly narrative lens of Jin Can's "Eagle Eye," it appears somewhat heartbreaking and tear-jerking, with an indescribable bitterness.

"Can I cheer for you?"

"You were won over by an ice cream?"

"I really like Oppa!"

"You liked Baekhyun last time!"

"—I knew it! Oppa's holding a grudge."

"No, you should study hard."

"I'm good at my studies. I want to go and support you, and become a fan site admin."

"That won't do either!"

Why?!

"There will be a lot of anti-fans; you'll get hurt—"

In just a few words, a fan site admin was created.

The video ends.

Jin Can glanced at it, recalling the scene from that night, and gave a casual reply.

But unexpectedly, looking back now, those scenes from that night have a rather unique flavor.

Exit video.

Jin Can looked at the post again.

[Bian, while you were trying to play the victim, our Jinchan oppa remained silent, facing the antis alone.]

You, however, are secretly fanning the flames!

Even now, our Kim Chan oppa still calls Baekhyun sunbaenim!

[Further clarification: On the night the video was filmed, I saw Kim Chan oppa get out of Tae-ah's Mercedes. I went up to talk to him, which is why he took me to the convenience store to buy ice cream! Date]

[It wasn't at all what the media said about going to a hotel! Taehyung's car simply dropped Oppa off on the street behind JYP's main entrance; there were surveillance cameras all around.]

[(evidence)]

[I now strongly suspect that someone from Xiba (a derogatory term for someone from Xiba) used a senior colleague to set up Kim Chan oppa (another actor) to ruin him! Every time I watch the video and oppa says "tomorrow will be better," my heart aches and I sob. Countless tomorrows later, oppa will still face an overwhelming barrage of anti-fans!]

[Byun Baekhyun, you're not human—SM is the birthplace of SM Entertainment!]

Throughout the entire text.

It's highly infectious.

After reading it, Jin Can felt a warm current flow through his heart.

Hong Xi-ya—I accept you!

Park Jin-young laughed from the side, "This post has prematurely triggered our whitewashing plan; the company's press release has already been issued."

Meanwhile, SM Entertainment announced Kim Tae-yeon's solo career, released real photos from that day, and arranged for the media outlet that broke the news to apologize, claiming that they had fabricated the facts.

"This video is going to go viral."

Park Jin-young laughed as he asked and answered himself, "An anti-fan turned into a fan, sitting in front of a convenience store chatting and eating ice cream with their favorite idol."

"It's magical—and also, it's heartwarming!"

"Still very—"

"What?" Jin Can asked with a smile.

Park Jin-young gave a thumbs up: "So cool!"

The comments section under the popular post exploded with discussion.

[o(T—T)oSimon has done right by everyone!]

[No, sister, you mean you and your idol recorded a short video together that looked like a variety show? And he even treated you to ice cream?]

And they even promised to treat you if we met?

[The world is bad! Jin Chan is good~o(work)o]

[OMG, SM Entertainment, are they pulling that "black-and-red" tactic again? Is it to generate hype for Kim Tae-yeon's solo debut?]

[No, Simon, stop messing around! I just hacked twenty of your accounts—]

[Oh my god! What are you going to do, Simon!]

[My eyes almost peed watching this! Kim Chan oppa is such a sincere guy, yet he's been constantly slandered and cyberbullied. When will a better tomorrow finally arrive?]

[Is this the first time you've realized how great Oppa is? — I hate you all!]

These comments.

Even Park Jin-young was somewhat moved by what he saw, almost forgetting that he was the mastermind behind it all.

When will the fan meeting be held?

he asks.

Generally, artists will hold fan meetings and autograph sessions after their comeback.

Jin Can pondered for a moment, then chuckled, "After the music show ends, right?"
