Peninsula Asteroid

The sun did not smile on the first day of 2017. It was hidden behind heavy clouds. The whole of Seoul seemed to be shrouded in a light haze. Some pedestrians on the roadside looked up at the sky from time to time, seeming to feel that the first day of the new year was coming. A day of dreary weather like this is not a good sign.

The smell of smoke from the fireworks has long since dissipated with the wind, and the excitement and hustle and bustle of yesterday's New Year's Eve has become ordinary after one night. Although today is a holiday, the roads in busy areas such as Jung-gu, Gangnam, and Mapo in Seoul early in the morning There was already a constant flow and congestion, people coming and going to work, everything was the same as usual.

It’s a new year, a new day… but that’s it.

Although it is calm in reality, it seems to be very lively online. People who care about current affairs are constantly discussing the progress of the impeachment case that has been initiated, the fate of the female head of state who brought them great shame, and the circumstances of the case. When the time came to an end, there was discussion about who would come to power next.

There are also many topics in entertainment. Countless young people are enthusiastically discussing the stage of yesterday's Gayo Daejeon on the Internet, discussing the boy group's chart-swiping incident some time ago, discussing whether the newly-minted world's number one coach is worthy of his name, and discussing yesterday's The tenth episode of "Goblin" just aired, with ratings breaking records.

In addition, many people are talking about it with interest and waiting for the news from D agency.

It's January 1st every year again, and as usual, this news media that has made a splash in the past few years will reveal their most famous couple to start the new year, making countless onlookers look forward to it with excitement.

All kinds of complicated news and topics were intertwined, and no one could tell the winner... Until it was almost eleven o'clock at noon, suddenly a piece of news stole all the limelight in an instant.

…………

"By the way, who will be the new year couple of Club D this year? I saw a lot of speculation on the Internet yesterday."

At a bedside seat in a cafe called 'spring' in Myeongdong, two well-dressed 20th-generation girls sat across the table. Each had a cup of mocha in front of them, and a girl with a ponytail drank happily. After taking a sip of coffee, I took out my phone, swiped my finger on the handsome photo of Kim Jong-in on the unlock interface to log in to NAVER, and after browsing for a while, I said excitedly.

"I watched it too... but I also saw someone saying that because of the recent impeachment incident, D Agency may not expose the new year couples this year... and it seems that it was said by an insider of D Agency." Seeing that the relatives were so enthusiastic, the opposite party The girl wearing a hat poured cold water on her.

"Huh? That's so boring!"

The pony-tailed girl immediately became unhappy when she heard this. She quickly checked her phone and shook her head after confirming: "Even as an insider, I think this is just an excuse for not having any breaking news. D Agency started from 13 From last year to last year, a new couple has been exposed every year, and they have already formed a brand. I think there will definitely be one this year...and it has been more than half a month since the impeachment was launched, who will continue to pay attention."

"Yeah, I don't know who it will be..."

After hearing this, the relative nodded in agreement, and then she also became interested. She also picked up her phone and looked at it... Her main interface was EXO's nine-member body poster: "I saw discussions on hot posts before, and some illegitimate children Fans broke the news that this year’s couple should be idol couples, and they are very important. There are a lot of guesses below. Some people said bigbang, SJ, and SHINEE, but after looking at it for a long time, none of them were very convincing. "

"No matter who it is, there must be some important artist out there."

The girl with a ponytail said noncommittally: "D Club's first-year couples in the past few years were okay, Rain and Kim Tae Hee, Lee Seung Gi and Yoona, and Lee Jung Jae and Im Se Ryung in 2015. Although they were not very popular, they were very important. Only last year's couple was very important. It's boring. Kim Junsu is from the ancient times. Who still pays attention to them? Hani is only famous for a year, and she was just a side dancer before. These two people are not interesting at all...

At the end of the sentence, she licked her lips in great anticipation: "...Anyway, the more TOP, the better."

"Don't... isn't XO the most popular group right now? Wouldn't it be bad if the members of XO were exposed?"

"Ah? Oh no, Oppas won't fall in love at this time, and the company won't allow it. SM management has become stricter after Baekhyun..." The girl was stunned for a moment, and then He immediately waved his hand nonchalantly, then his expression changed, and he began to curse fiercely: "It's best to expose Twice."

"Twice has only been out for a year, and they are still a pure girl group. This type of style is the most taboo about scandals and relationships. Now if a member exposes his relationship, won't he immediately leave the group?"

"I just want them to disband. God knows this kind of girl group that pretends to be cute is the most disgusting thing, especially that ugly girl Lin..."

"ah!!"

Just as she was cursing viciously, she was suddenly interrupted. The relative opposite looked at the phone and let out a surprised scream.

"What happened?"

"D Club's new couple for this year's new year has been announced."

"who is it?"

"It's... it's your... it's Kai!!"

"?"

…………

At 11 o'clock in the morning, all the discussion about entertainment on the Internet was instantly covered up. D agency announced this year's new couple. When the man's name and the name of the group were revealed, countless people were shocked and gasped.

《EXO member Kai and girl group member EXID HyeRin's relationship exposed, romantic date under the stars》

The title alone is shocking enough, and clicking on the news is even more eye-catching.

It is reported that EXO member Kai and EXID member HyeRin have been secretly dating for three months.

There are a lot of photos in the article, which are obviously taken by paparazzi. Among them, there are photos of the two getting out of the car, photos of appearing in the same parking lot, and many photos of wearing the same style of scarves and shoes. It can be seen at a glance that they have been secretly photographed for a long time, and most of them are very clear.

Although there are no real dating photos and intimate photos, so many seemingly true photos are put out, and they are very convincing when connected together.

Not only that, there is also a short essay like a dating documentary written below the article.

"According to friends, the two met because of a common activity and developed feelings for each other after communication. They are currently in a passionate relationship and will take time to meet even when their schedules are the busiest.

On November 5, Kai returned to Seoul overnight after finishing EXO's Neon Concert and drove HyeRin to a date at Seoul Garden, and each left commemorative photos on social media.

On December 2, Kai drove to HyeRin's residence after finishing his overseas schedule and gave her the gifts he brought back. And according to friends of both parties, the two also traveled to Mapo together (with a route map), took a walk under the moonlight and took certification photos."

"..."

As soon as this news came out, the entire Korean forum, even the mainland's Weibo, Tieba, and even the entire Southeast Asian related forums were instantly all fried.

Although many people are used to D society exposing a very important couple at the beginning of each year, and they also expect the exposed artists to be more important, but they really didn't expect that this year it would be EXO members.

EXO's current status in the music industry and fan circle is unquestionable. Although the popularity of its members varies greatly, as long as it carries this group name, it is the most eye-catching name in Kpop.

"Eat melon! But I didn't expect it to be such a big melon!"

"Although EXID is considered a first-line girl group, the group's popularity is all on Hani, and although Kai is far inferior to Yuan in the team, he is still the official C position of EXO, and he is not at the same level as the two groups. I feel that this couple is not very suitable, far less suitable than Lee Seung Gi and Yoona in the past."

"Hahahahaha congratulations to Aeri for having a new sister-in-law, you must not scold her, what if she goes to Kai Oppa's arms when she is wronged? Remember not to scold! Hold it in!"

"Congratulations on the group's success The great achievement of EXO members falling in love on 2/12, paying tribute to the legendary girl group predecessors Girls is Love... Oh, no, it should be 2/11? Or 2/9? Oh, I can't count, fans count it yourself. "

As soon as the news came out, it dominated all entertainment hot searches within a few minutes. All kinds of people who were just watching the fun, passers-by, black fans, etc. all came in to eat melons crazily, and there was no lack of ridicule for EXO and Kim Jong-in fans... Idol love is the most serious and most devastating thing in the fan circle, and Aili has been rampant for so long, this is the best time to add insult to injury.

Many EXO fans and Kai fans were dumbfounded after seeing the news. After a brief moment of confusion, many fans who couldn't believe it immediately took action:

"I hope it's fake, come out and deny it, please!"

" @Can SM come out and clarify quickly? Don't let these people throw dirty water on Oppa."

"Who is coming back? Starting to hype again? Or is there another scandal recently that has our Oppa out to take the blame? Haha, it's so funny. It's a familiar routine. It's always the same, but don't think that we Kai fans will be fooled. We are not that stupid."

"No matter what, I will always believe in Kai Oppa."

"Those who doubt Oppa are not worthy of being Kai fans. If you want to quit being a fan, quit quickly, and don't come back with a licking face."

Various messages appeared under SM's official account.

In fact, some fans have already known that the news may be true after reading the news and so many photos, but there are still some fantasies, hoping that SM can deny the news.

As long as the company does not admit it, it means that there is no relationship... This is the truth in the hearts of most fans.

Even if they lied to them, as long as the company doesn't admit it, they are not in a relationship... This is the truth in the hearts of most fans.

Unfortunately, humble wishes are powerless in the face of established facts.

Five minutes after the news was exposed, EXID and HyeRin's agency Yedang Entertainment responded, saying "Because it is private life, we have no position to pay attention, but we are confirming the relevant situation with the artist. '

While everyone else was excited to eat melons and all Kai fans were anxiously waiting, Yedang issued a statement again at 12 noon, directly admitting the relationship between the two, and after saying a set of official words, it said "The two are cautiously contacting each other."

As soon as this was admitted, half of the Kai fans were instantly dumbfounded. They could no longer control the anger in their hearts. They were so angry that they started to attack HyeRin with their eyes broken.

"Go to hell, go to hell, go to hell, you prostitute in a side girl group who sells meat."

"Can you take a look at yourself in the mirror? Do you think you can climb up to XO by showing some flesh?"

"Even if it's a real Oppa, it's just for fun."

"It's Kim Seol-hyun again! Why do you female idols who sell meat like this so much? You're a loser that no one wants."

Many EXO fans, especially Kai fans who lost their minds, instantly destroyed HyeRin's SNS, EXID and Yedang's official accounts out of extreme grief and anger. They used the most vicious words in their lives to attack her crazily. , all kinds of obscene words and slut-shaming words flooded all the comment areas.

The other half of the fans are still deceiving themselves, saying they don't believe this Pheasant Company's statement and are waiting for SM's official conclusion.

Yedang just issued two statements in a row, but SM has remained silent as if they don't know about it, so some fans are still lucky and hope to hear a different answer from SM. They want answer.

Unfortunately, two hours after Yedang admitted their relationship, and amid frantic questioning from countless fans, SM came belatedly and issued a statement as if forced and somewhat reluctantly.

The statement was very brief and did not say anything official. It only indirectly acknowledged the truth of the relationship with the ambiguous words "the two have a good relationship with each other".

Although such a seemingly reluctant statement did make fans think more and resent HyeRin as the woman, the indirect admission was considered an admission, which made the remaining fans despair.

These fans did not attack the woman, but put their boundless anger, extreme disappointment and other negative emotions on the person responsible for this incident, their idol they used to like so much, Kai themselves.

"Can you stop being so selfish? Do you know what impact this will have on the team?"

"Let's quit the group. It's not the first time anyway. The eight of us in XO are pretty good."

"Originally, I did not participate in "Blood, Sweat and Tears" this year due to injury. The return of the other members lost a lot of popularity. I finally made some gains by relying on the stage at the end of the year. As a result, my relationship broke out this year... I also said in an interview that I am a very good person. An enterprising person, haha, I’m so stupid to believe you so much...I’m tired, that’s it.”

"I've liked you for so long. From the year before last to now, whenever you need it, if you have any brand promotion, any activity data, magazine peripheral sales, INS likes, etc., we have always helped you do our best. , in the XO team, we don’t have a particularly large number of fans, but every time we can make your data popularity reach the top three in the team, even if we can’t beat the Yuanqi, we have never been afraid of them, we try our best I tried my best to maintain your status and face as the 'C position in the team' in front of Yuan, but in the end...this is how you repaid us?"

"I feel really cold-hearted, but I really can't say anything harsh to you after I've liked you for so long. I wish... you will be well in the future."

"If you say you have no relationship, will we still not believe you? Even if it is true...are you not willing to lie to us?"

…………

"Could this friend be you?"

Coming out of the parking lot at the side entrance of the company, Chi Jingyuan remembered the 'friend's revelation' he had seen on the news before, and asked Wu Shixun next to him with a smile.

Today is January 2nd, one day after the 'New Year Couple' incident. At this time, the two of them had just had lunch nearby and were now going to the company to meet other members and have a meeting.

"How is it possible that I'm crazy enough to tell the media such a thing?"

This was not a simple accusation. Wu Shixun immediately denied it righteously: "And I have the strictest mouth."

"Then how did the media know about it? ... He came back early to go on a date with his girlfriend after a half-day concert. I don't even know how the media knew about this?"

"Who knows? Kai didn't just say it within the team..."

The two of them walked from the parking lot to the company gate and chatted. After making two jokes, Wu Shixun suddenly sighed, shook his head and said in a slightly deeper voice: "Oh... Kai has almost twenty fans in one night. The station is closed."

Speaking of this, Chi Jingyuan's expression also darkened, losing the joking and relaxed tone of the conversation just now.

They had known about the news that Kim Jong-in's relationship would be exposed for a long time, and they were quite anxious and anxious at first. However, after such a long time, this feeling has dissipated a lot. The company has made preparations before, so many members, including He himself was not too nervous before he came in, and even though he had a normal relationship with Kim Jong-in, he was still a little bit interested in watching the fun.

But...after the explosion on the first day, they discovered that the negative impact of Kim Jong-in's love exposure far exceeded their previous optimistic expectations.

It's different from the time Baekhyun's relationship was exposed in 2014. At that time, EXO was just a new boy group with great potential that had just soared into the sky. Now it is the undoubted top of the new generation, with a national audience that far exceeds that of a boy group. Spend. Fan size and loyalty all vary widely.

Although it seems that it does not have much impact on the EXO group at present, whether it is the insults of the angry fans towards the woman, or the disappointment and attacks on Kim Jong-in himself, the fans who left one by one and the heart-wrenching words made everyone onlookers. Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but feel a lot of sympathy and sadness in his heart.

"...Yesterday, Kai had a fan who has been supporting him for a long time... We have met twice before, and he comes every time for autograph signings. The fat one... After seeing the news yesterday, that fan tore up all the Kai in her collection The photo card, a big book, was posted on Instagram, and then Kai saw it, and he..."

Talking to Chi Jingyuan in a low voice, Wu Shixun couldn't help but sigh deeply at the end: "Oh."

When Chi Jingyuan heard this, he also sighed.

He also has a lot of close fans, many of whom have been fans of him for many years, and there are even many who are midwifery fans who have been following him since his debut.

The departure of this kind of fan is the saddest thing. Not to mention the economic and career impact, the most important thing is the blow to personal feelings... Chi Jingyuan really understands.

After listening for a while, thinking of the terrible response in the past two days, he couldn't help but frown and asked: "Why is the response so violent? Isn't the company prepared for public relations?"

"Public relations are not omnipotent, they can only guide us." Wu Shixun shrugged: "And the effect is very obvious. You haven't seen how HyeRin was scolded. It's just because we and Kai have many fans, so we scolded He has a lot too.”

"Too……"

Chi Jingyuan didn't ask further, and then he didn't know what he was thinking of. He shook his head and said with a somewhat frightened expression: "I thought it was similar to what Baekhyun did before, but this is really scary. I'm thinking about it." What should I do if my relationship is exposed..."

"We are all like this, so you don't even dare to think about it. Judging from how crazy your fans are, I'm really worried that they will actually drive into Twice's nanny car..."

Wu Shixun glanced at him with a strange expression, and then suddenly pursed his lips: "But I can't say for sure... maybe your fans are different from Kai's, and they will bless you and Mina Xi."

"Bless you, Xiba."

As the two of them talked, they arrived at the company's main entrance. Just two steps after they walked in, Chi Jingyuan seemed to have caught something in his peripheral vision. He stopped and turned around, looking through the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor of the company. outside.

Two trucks carrying LCD screens were parked on the road opposite the company's entrance. They were hired by Kai's fans to demonstrate at the entrance after their relationship was exposed yesterday... This is a type of idol that has just emerged in the fan circle. As for the company's communication, or demonstration method, fans hire trucks loaded with LCD screens to park at the entrance of the agency, so that the words on the screen can be seen by everyone passing by, including the company and the idols themselves.

These two cars have been here since yesterday afternoon, but when Chi Jingyuan passed by yesterday, he only glanced at them and did not read the content on the screen in detail.

At this time, the topic of Kai came up. He happened to come to the door of the company again. After catching a glimpse, he took the initiative to stop and looked at the opposite side with curiosity, wanting to see what Kai's fans would say after what happened yesterday. What.

But after seeing the text on the screen clearly, he was suddenly stunned.

"You have stood on a high stage for too long. Have you forgotten that there are living people and sincerity under the glow sticks waving for you, dense as stars?"

"Even the dolls in the amusement park will not take off their hoods in front of children."

Chi Jingyuan looked at the two sentences written by Kim Jong-in fans on the screen of the truck in trance. He was silent for a long time and then breathed out softly.
