Chapter 1473 A flash
Did he mention anything about our debut?
Liu Zhimin tilted her head slightly, her gaze falling on Chi Jingyuan's profile, her tone carrying a hint of cautious probing.
For a young girl in the prime of her youth, the most important thing right now is to debut. This has always been her ambition and goal, and it is the whole meaning of her sweating in the practice room day after day.
Lee Soo-man is the one who can make decisions, so seeing Ji Kyung-won and Lee Soo-man together today, Yoo Jimin naturally wanted to ask him about it.
"Debut?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Jingyuan gently turned the steering wheel and glanced at her.
"Um"
Liu Zhimin nodded vigorously and started talking, rambling on about her recent trainee life: "Every day we practice songs by our seniors, Girls' Generation, Red Velvet, and lately they keep making us practice Twice's songs, saying it's to help us express that feeling..."
"Then came all sorts of training: smile management, facial expression management, practicing in front of the mirror until my face was stiff every day. Oh, and the most troublesome thing was body management..."
My teacher said I'm a bit overweight. Actually, I didn't dare to eat much today, but I still ate too much.
As she spoke, she subconsciously reached out and gently touched her lower abdomen, her brows furrowing slightly, and a hint of girlish worry appearing in her eyes.
Chi Jingyuan followed her hand and saw that there was indeed a tiny, fleshy bump on her lower abdomen. Combined with Liu Zhimin's worried expression, it made her look strangely cute.
Feeling Chi Jingyuan's gaze, Liu Zhimin's cheeks flushed slightly. She quickly withdrew her hand and subconsciously pulled her clothes down, as if covering her belly would make it disappear.
"Was Oppa very strict before his debut?" Yoo Jimin immediately and cleverly continued the previous topic.
"Yes."
Chi Jingyuan recalled his training days with a touch of emotion: "Back then, they barely ate anything, afraid of gaining weight. They spent every day in the practice room from morning till night, and weighed themselves once a week. If they gained even a pound, the teacher would scold them."
"Them? Oppa doesn't need them?"
"I'm naturally thin."
"How enviable."
Liu Zhimin made no attempt to hide her envy, her tone full of longing, and she sighed softly, "I wish I could be born without gaining weight."
After saying that, she couldn't help but touch her little belly.
Before Chi Jingyuan could look over, she immediately continued, "I said I've entered the debut group, but the members aren't completely confirmed yet. People keep coming in and getting eliminated, so I'm on tenterhooks every day."
"There's still no definite news... I heard from others that Girls' Generation's seniors also confirmed their members a long time ago, and they started practicing their debut song several years in advance. We still haven't seen their debut song."
The girl's tone clearly betrayed confusion and anxiety.
"Oppa, did you hear what Lee Soo-man said?"
She looked up at Chi Jingyuan again, her eyes filled with renewed anticipation.
"When I watched the performance this afternoon, Lee Soo-man told me something..."
Ji Kyung-won didn't hide anything: "He told me that the new girl group is a nine-member girl group that follows a pure and energetic route, somewhat similar to Twice."
"But the style and positioning will be slightly different, leaning more towards a Korean sweet style, and they also said they will focus on developing your stage presence..."
Lee Soo-man told him a lot about the new girl group's plans that afternoon, from member selection to style positioning. Ji Kyung-won didn't hold back at this moment and basically told Yoo Ji-min everything.
Ji Jingyuan remembered that Lee Soo-man had mentioned to him that Yoo Ji-min had the potential to become the face of the business.
Thinking of this, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but look Liu Zhimin up and down...
She's slightly inferior to Yoona.
But her figure is a big advantage.
Upon hearing that the project had begun, Liu Zhimin, who had been anxious just moments before, brightened up and listened intently, nodding occasionally and then nodding her chest.
"but……"
As Chi Jingyuan spoke, he suddenly paused, his brows furrowing slightly.
He recalled that afternoon when Lee Soo-man asked him to evaluate the new girl group. After he honestly expressed his disapproval of the style, Lee Soo-man looked thoughtful and somewhat wavering.
Based on his understanding of Lee Soo-man, the other party should also somewhat agree with his idea, and be somewhat tempted and hesitant.
Lee Soo-man is very proactive, so there might still be some deviations in this new girl group.
"But what?" Liu Zhimin immediately pressed.
"nothing……"
Chi Jingyuan thought for a moment and decided not to say anything. There was no need to say things that were uncertain or had not happened, as it would only cause people to worry.
He shook his head: "At the rate that the company releases a new girl group every four or five years, Red Velvet has already been around for four years, so you guys should be coming soon."
"Barry Barry!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhimin seemed to be injected with a powerful stimulant. A smile returned to her face, and she clenched her fists to encourage herself, her eyes full of energy: "Bari bari bari bari!!"
"Oh"
Seeing her so full of fighting spirit, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but chuckle.
Will we hold a showcase after our debut?
Having received a relatively positive answer, Liu Zhimin relaxed and excitedly began to ask more questions.
"meeting"
"Will you go to perform on music shows?"
"Sure."
"Can we see Oppa's XO backstage?"
"It should be fine."
"..."
Like a curious child, Liu Zhimin asked a series of somewhat silly but expectant questions, full of longing for her debut.
Chi Jingyuan was patient and responded to each question in a cooperative manner.
"That……"
As she continued asking questions, Liu Zhimin's expression changed slightly, and she raised her chin, staring at Ji Jingyuan, and suddenly asked, "If I debut in the future, will you date me, Oppa?"
These words came unexpectedly, carrying the straightforwardness and passion of a young girl, without any pretense.
"You're dating right after your debut? Aren't you afraid your company will cause you trouble?"
Chi Jingyuan paused on the steering wheel, glanced at her, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Although she went straight to the point, Ji Jingyuan remained calm. After all, Liu Zhimin's intentions were already obvious, so how could Ji Jingyuan not know?
During the filming of the music video, he even touched everything.
"Don't be afraid~"
Liu Zhimin clenched her fists tightly, puffed out her chest slightly, and looked fearless.
But I'm scared~
"Oppa!!"
"Ha, all done..."
While laughing, Chi Jingyuan turned the steering wheel and stopped at a red light. He turned his head to look at her, paused for a moment, and then gestured with his lip towards her: "Do you think I look like someone who doesn't have a girlfriend?"
"...doesn't seem like it"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhimin instantly deflated and muttered softly, "I knew Oppa was just teasing me..."
"nor……"
Chi Jingyuan wanted to explain something, but before he could speak...
But the next second, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes hardening again, her chin held even higher, and her tone was full of defiance: "Then I'll just snatch it!"
"So confident?"
Chi Jingyuan raised an eyebrow in surprise when he saw her like this.
"Oppa, don't underestimate me~"
Upon seeing this, Liu Zhimin immediately puffed out her chest and raised her head, adopting a confident yet spoiled demeanor, and began to chatter and show off.
Basically, the implication is that 'she's very talented, many people praise her, and she was a recognized beauty at school.'
Chi Jingyuan listened quietly to her rambling boasting, a faint smile always on his lips, occasionally asking a question in a humorous way.
Liu Zhimin kept talking, but what she really wanted to do was prove that she was still outstanding.
But as he spoke, his eyes drifted to Chi Jingyuan beside him, and he had a different conclusion in his mind:
The fact that I'm sitting here right now is proof of that, isn't it?
"Oppa..."
As she was talking, Liu Zhimin suddenly stopped, her gaze falling on the bag next to the passenger seat—it contained Chi Jingyuan's soiled jacket. She hesitated for a moment before asking, "How can I give this jacket to you after it's washed?"
"Call me and I'll have someone pick it up."
Chi Jingyuan said casually, without giving it much thought.
"Okay... um."
Liu Zhimin nodded, her tone carrying a hint of hesitation, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, her eyes glancing at the bag from time to time, as if she had something to say but was too embarrassed to speak.
What are you trying to say?
Chi Jingyuan was very perceptive and immediately noticed that something was wrong with her. He turned his head and glanced at her.
"Hmm, what if I don't wash it properly?"
Liu Zhimin bit her lower lip, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered.
"Ok?"
"Or I wash it slowly... for example, I've been very busy practicing these past few days and haven't had time to wash it."
Liu Zhimin's voice grew softer and softer, her eyes darting around.
Chi Jingyuan understood her meaning, his lips twitched slightly, and he glanced in that direction:
"Well... you can keep it for yourself."
…………
"Bye-bye, Oppa~"
Thinking back to yesterday when he dropped Liu Zhimin off near her apartment complex, and how she waved goodbye after getting out of the car and then hopped away into the distance, Chi Jingyuan felt inexplicably missing a piece of clothing. Actually, it wasn't a big deal.
"There's still a problem with that positioning. Remember to set the center line when you come out of the game..."
However, the teacher's voice soon came to his ears, bringing him back to his senses. He then focused on rehearsing EXO's closing ceremony stage performance.
The day after parting ways with Yoo Ji-min, Chi Kyung-won threw himself into his busy work.
While busy with preparations for EXO's comeback, they also had to participate in promotional activities for the Winter Olympics, record promotional videos, and attend related press conferences.
At the same time, I also need to find time to rehearse the dance for the closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics...
And this was all done during breaks in filming.
As time went by, the entertainment industry on the peninsula remained bustling, with different news dominating the headlines every day and attracting public attention.
CNBLUE member Jung Yong-hwa has suspended all entertainment activities and announced his enlistment in the military on March 5th due to allegations of irregularities in his application to Kyung Hee University's doctoral program. It is reported that Jung Yong-hwa is currently under police investigation; while his status as a Winter Olympics ambassador has been retained, all related promotional activities have been cancelled.
Girls' Generation's Yoona visited the set of "The Spy" and posted a close-up photo with EXO's Yuan on Instagram. The two appeared in the same frame, both maintaining serious expressions. Yoona specially captioned the photo "Who is the murderer" to promote Yuan's new drama. The high-value photo of them together instantly went viral online, with netizens leaving comments such as "divine photo" and "visual attack".
"The first episode of the second season of the variety show 'Hyori's Bed and Breakfast' achieved a viewership rating of over 8%, and Girls' Generation's Yoona silenced the doubters and became incredibly popular after becoming a regular guest in the second season."
"Red Velvet's second full-length album re-release, 'The Perfect Red Velvet,' topped both the digital music charts and the weekly sales charts, further solidifying their immense popularity."
"A magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck the Hualien area late on the 6th, and many celebrities posted messages of prayer."
TWICE released their second single, "Candy Pop," in Japan today.
Amidst the various entertainment news headlines, the atmosphere surrounding the PyeongChang Winter Olympics on the Korean Peninsula is growing stronger, gradually covering every corner of the entire peninsula.
Promotional posters for the Winter Olympics are everywhere on the streets, featuring images of athletes and the Winter Olympics logo in vibrant colors, making them particularly eye-catching. Promotional videos for the Winter Olympics are playing on a loop in major shopping malls, subway stations, and bus stops.
Even small shops along the roadside have hung up Winter Olympics flags, and shop owners and customers often chat about Winter Olympics-related topics, their tone full of anticipation.
Major television stations went all out to promote the Games, broadcasting previews of the Winter Olympics during prime time every day, repeatedly introducing the athletes from the peninsula, using flowery language to praise their hard work, outstanding abilities, and predicting that they would achieve great results at the Winter Olympics and win glory for the country.
The training clips of the athletes were repeatedly played to amplify their efforts and perseverance, in an attempt to ignite public enthusiasm and create an atmosphere of "welcoming the Winter Olympics with the whole nation." Some television stations even launched special Winter Olympics programs to report on the progress of the Winter Olympics preparations and the athletes' activities in real time, and the viewership ratings remained high.
Television stations are also broadcasting various previews of the Winter Olympics, introducing the athletes from the peninsula, and making all sorts of exaggerated descriptions.
Time flies, and it's already February 9th. The 2rd Winter Olympic Games officially kicked off at the PyeongChang Olympic Stadium.
The opening ceremony was brightly lit and packed with athletes, guests and spectators from all over the world who gathered here to witness this sacred moment.
The opening theme is "peace," with a huge bronze bell with a history of nearly 1300 years standing in the still lake in the center of the venue and being slowly struck. The deep and long-lasting sound of the bell penetrates the entire stadium, as if traveling through a thousand years of time to pray for world peace.
Subsequently, the symbolic elements of the peninsula took turns appearing on stage. The four mythical beasts—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—came to life and slowly stretched their bodies on the stage, accompanied by melodious traditional music, protecting the children who symbolize hope.
Traditional elements such as the Bagua diagram are also interspersed throughout, gradually showcasing the history, culture, and traditional heritage of the peninsula, creating a simple yet solemn atmosphere, as if it were a cultural journey through a thousand years.
Immediately afterwards, the story shifts to the modern and future, and the scene on stage changes instantly. A group of children gradually grow up and transform into professionals in various fields: doctors, teachers, engineers, programmers, etc. They are busy on the stage, showcasing the vitality and prosperity of the modern peninsula.
The Winter Olympics had a huge impact; even the crew of "The Spy" took a short break to watch the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics together.
Ji Kyung-won watched the entire opening ceremony live with the main cast and crew. He sat on a stool, holding a glass of warm water, and occasionally commented on the event with Kim Ji-won and the others next to him.
Everyone else reacted well, but after watching it, Chi Jingyuan felt it was meaningful, with a clear theme of peace and technology.
But the scale was a bit small.
What struck him as odd was that many of the "symbolic elements of the peninsula" displayed on stage had a strong sense of déjà vu.
What made him most nervous was the entrance ceremony... The ceremony began with the theme song of the 1988 Seoul Olympics, "Hand in Hand," and then North Korean folk songs such as "Arirang" were played repeatedly in several segments, especially when North and South Korea entered together, which resonated with the entire audience.
But in this solemn yet warm atmosphere, the melody suddenly switched to "Gangnam Style," with its cheerful and catchy rhythm that was completely out of place with the previous atmosphere. Chi Jingyuan almost burst out laughing in front of everyone as he looked at the screen.
As the highlight of the opening ceremony, the delegations from North and South Korea entered the stadium hand in hand, led by the "Korean Peninsula flag." The athletes smiled, leaned on each other, and encouraged one another.
This scene instantly ignited the entire stadium, with applause and cheers lasting for a long time. It perfectly interpreted the theme of "peace" of this Winter Olympics and became the most touching moment of the opening ceremony.
After the opening ceremony, the Winter Olympics officially began.
On the first day of competition, Swedish athlete Charlotte Kara performed brilliantly, winning the first gold medal of the Winter Olympics in the women's cross-country skiing double pursuit event, while the young athlete Lin Xiaojun from the peninsula won the championship in the men's 1500m short track speed skating final with a time of 2 minutes and 10.485 seconds thanks to a steady performance.
This is the first gold medal for the Korean Peninsula delegation at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, and the 22nd short track speed skating gold medal in the history of the Korean Peninsula at the Winter Olympics.
The news caused an instant uproar across the peninsula, with major television stations immediately interrupting their news broadcasts to repeatedly show the moment Lin Xiaojun won the championship.
Even the crew of "The Spy" were infected by this joy.
The crew was filming an indoor scene when Ji Kyung-won was watching the shoot. Suddenly, someone outside cheered, "We won! We won! Lim Hyo-jun has won!"
The filming was interrupted. The director was initially furious at being disturbed, but he laughed after hearing the noise.
The Winter Olympics atmosphere permeated the entire peninsula, and Chi Kyung-won was busy with work and filming. The days passed quietly amidst the hustle and bustle, and before he knew it, it was February 14th.
