The host had no choice but to ask his assistant to bring over two spare microphones.
But Kim Ji-hoon had already started the conversation.
"What kind of system do you use for this testing?" Kim Ji-hoon asked the host.
After confirming with the backstage staff, the host replied, "I just confirmed with the production team that we used our country's latest 'LeShield' for the comparison. Are there any problems?"
The host was clearly annoyed that Kim Ji-hoon had taken the microphone from him time and time again, and his tone was no longer respectful.
"There's a problem, and that's where the problem lies." Kim Ji-hoon exclaimed excitedly, as if he had discovered something crucial: "This song clearly has a Korean style, so we need to use our great Korean software for testing."
Hearing Kim Ji-hoon's tone, the host didn't give him a friendly look either: "'Music Shield' is currently the most advanced detection system in China, containing almost all songs from both China and South Korea. Since you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do. You lost, and that's that."
"Who says there's no way? Who says I've lost?" Kim Ji-hoon said, "If we're going to do testing, we should use our South Korean testing system. Who knows if your Dragon Country has tampered with it behind the scenes?"
"Furthermore, I demanded a public live broadcast of the entire network's testing on a large screen."
"You..." If the show hadn't been being recorded, and if the other person hadn't been an international friend, the host would have wanted to kick him off the show right then and there.
Because of Kim Ji-hoon, the show, which was already about to end, was forced to work an extra half hour.
Do you know how annoying it is to work overtime?
However, now that things have come to this point, the host can only seek help from the backstage production team and obtain the consent of Shen Yuege and Liu Siqi on set.
If Shen Yuege and the other person disagree, then the result will be the same as the first two, and they will still be in the top two.
"Since we can't trust this international friend, it won't hurt to test him again." Shen Yuege readily agreed, and Liu Siqi nodded in agreement as well.
The host received a notification from the director backstage that another test was needed, and the host could only helplessly say that he would have to work overtime again.
Just as the host was about to speak, Shen Yuege suddenly changed the subject.
"However, Mr. Kim suspects that our song is plagiarized, and I also suspect that Mr. Kim's song is plagiarized. Why don't we get it tested together?"
"Mr. Jin shouldn't have any objections, right?"
Kim Ji-hoon was clearly taken aback; he hadn't expected Shen Yuege to include him in this conversation at a time like this.
He knows his own songs well; they do indeed contain elements that imitate many of his peers' songs.
However, in the music industry, this does not constitute plagiarism at all.
Kim Ji-hoon thought about it. If their song wasn't ultimately judged as plagiarism, then he would have a way out. With that in mind, Kim Ji-hoon nodded in agreement.
Since no one had any objections, the system directly projected the testing process onto the large screen.
The director backstage also knew that regardless of whether Lu Ran's two songs were plagiarized or not, today's viewership would be the highest ever for the show.
The audience, who had thought the gossip was over, sat back down when they saw there was more to come.
Viewers in the live stream who had originally planned to turn off their phones and computers sat back down.
On the large screen in the studio, the interface of the Korean copyright detection system was projected in real time.
All eyes in the room were on the screen.
Kim Ji-hoon watched as the production team did exactly as he asked, and waited quietly on the side, though he seemed somewhat uneasy.
On the other hand, Shen Yuege and Liu Siqi were even chatting and laughing.
The camera captured the two of them in a relaxed state, and the atmosphere in the live stream also relaxed.
"Judging from this situation, it's obvious who copied whom."
"That Kim Ji-hoon must have been feeling insecure. I even think his posture was a little off."
"Kim Ji-hoon's face turned green, hahaha!"
"Not necessarily. After all, Lu Ran wrote this song, and Shen Yuege and the other two might not know the inside story."
"Have you forgotten about the 1.7% and 1.9% figures we just tested?"
...
The production team even thoughtfully brought several chairs for the group, worried that they might stand on the stage for too long.
In the audience, the light boards of each fan group were still lit up, but everyone's attention was focused on the screen.
Some of Shen Yuege's fans looked relaxed, some of Liu Siqi's fans chatted quietly, and of course, some of Jin Zhixun's fans looked convinced.
All the fans felt that their idol could not possibly plagiarize.
On the judges' panel, Li Sheng frowned, his fingers unconsciously tapping the table.
He has been in the industry for decades and has seen countless controversies, but this is the first time he has ever conducted a live cross-border plagiarism detection.
The other two judges also looked serious. If this situation wasn't handled well, it would become an international laughing stock.
The production team backstage was in complete chaos.
"Director, the ratings have broken 9! And they're still rising!" The data monitor's voice was trembling.
"Our show is all in the top twenty trending topics on Weibo!" the publicity director shouted while scrolling through his phone. "It's a hit! A complete hit!"
The director, his palms sweating, gripped the walkie-talkie: "Keep a close eye on all cameras! Especially the expressions of Shen Yuege, Liu Siqi, and Jin Zhixun! Close-ups! I need close-ups! And audience reactions too, grab a few representative ones!"
...
Inside a villa in Shanghai.
Lu Ran was watching the live stream with great interest when his phone suddenly rang.
Lu Ran glanced at the caller ID—Tan Yu. He pressed the answer button and turned on speakerphone.
"Brother Lu! Brother Lu! Did you watch the live stream?!" Tan Yu's voice was urgent, with Liu Jun, Zhao Dapeng and the others shouting in the background.
"I'm watching." Lu Ran took a sip of Yanzu's soda, his tone as casual as if it had nothing to do with him.
"That Korean is too arrogant! How could he possibly plagiarize your song!" Liu Jun's loud voice came through the microphone. "Brother Lu, aren't you worried?"
"No rush, why should I be in a hurry?" Lu Ran laughed. "It's Kim Ji-hoon who should be in a hurry."
The fact that Kim Ji-hoon dared to speculate that his two songs were plagiarized without any evidence proves that plagiarism is a very common phenomenon in South Korea.
Shen Yuege's simultaneous testing caught him completely off guard.
"No need to rush, just wait and see." Lu Ran laughed, "You guys, hurry up and finish the post-production and ending theme song for 'Meteor Garden'. I'll be checking next week, and if you don't do it well, you'll be kicked out of eight long-running dramas."
"No, Brother Lu, let's do post-production after we finish watching this ending."
Amidst the groans of the others, Lu Ran decisively hung up the video call.
Let's disturb him and see how his wife makes a last-minute comeback.

Xiangcheng Studio.
The testing progress bar is slowly advancing; it's already at 85%.
Time seemed to stretch out, and every second felt incredibly long.
Kim Ji-hoon began to feel a little anxious.
He kept glancing at his watch, then at the big screen, his lips pressed into a straight line.
Shen Yuege and Liu Siqi's composure made him increasingly uneasy.
Impossible... How could Chinese people possibly create something so pure and authentic Korean style, with such logical arrangement?
It's impossible for it not to be detected... Perhaps the detection system in China isn't comprehensive enough and missed some works from South Korea?
Yes, that must be it.
South Korea's system is more sophisticated; they'll definitely be able to find it!
He straightened his back again and encouraged himself.
finally--
"Ding!"
The crisp notification sound was particularly loud in the quiet studio.
The progress bar has reached 100%.
On the large screen, the test report slowly unfolded.
Everyone knew that the result was about to be revealed.
The host took a deep breath, stepped forward, and looked at the report results.
Then, the host's eyes widened, revealing an expression of disbelief.
The host was stunned for a full three seconds without saying a word.
The audience members started to get restless when they saw the host's reaction.
"What happened? What was the result?"
"Say something!"
"Did they really plagiarize?"
Seeing the host's expression, Kim Ji-hoon couldn't help but let a subtle smile creep onto his lips.
If it wasn't plagiarism, would the host have made that expression?
It seems that South Korea's testing system is more powerful.
Just as Kim Ji-hoon was feeling smug, thinking victory was in the bag, the host suddenly looked up with a complex expression on his face that was hard to describe as either surprise or shock.
He picked up the microphone, his voice even trembling slightly:
"Real-time comparison using the Korean 'K-Music Copyright Detection System' —"
He paused, his gaze sweeping across the room before finally settling on Kim Ji-hoon's face, each word clear and distinct:
"Shen Yuege's rendition of 'Wow' has a 0% similarity to any globally registered copyrighted works!"
"Liu Siqi's rendition of 'Change' has a 0% similarity!"
"Neither of the two tests found any substantially similar paragraphs!"
