The next day, the 14th of July.
T-ara's long-awaited official fan club officially opened. The ceremony was held at Qingxi University's Peace Hall.
Hundreds of fans were invited to celebrate the official name "Queen's." The original "Citrine" was now history, symbolizing the beginning of a new page.
Many celebrities from all walks of life were invited, including the president of Incheon Ocean Trading Company, Tang Jinyan. No one knew if he had time today.
On the way to Qingxi University, the eight members of T-ara rested in their seats.
Their manager, Pu Guihan, was looking at the data of "Day by Day" on his laptop.
(Note: T-ara's manager is Pu Guihan. Li Zhenzhu's manager is a female fatty. Correction is hereby made.)
"Eh …" Pu Guihan rubbed his eyes. "It increased?"
Driver laughed. "What increased? Stocks?"
Pu Guihan muttered, "Me | On's music source data is increasing. It looks like it's going to pull down Sistar."
The eight girls opened their eyes at the same time.
"Let me see the other stations."
Pu Guihan was energized. He clicked on the other eight stations and was pleasantly surprised. "It's all increasing.
It's not obvious, but it's definitely increasing. "
The eight girls couldn't sleep anymore. They squeezed over and poked their heads out to look at the screen.
Before last night, some of them were first, some were second, and some were third on the nine stations.
The data curve showed that during yesterday's all-nighter, other stations' data had gradually stagnated, while theirs had started to increase. One of the third stations had reached second, and some of the second stations were closing in on first.
During this time in the morning, the increase seemed to have decreased, but it was still increasing …
Originally, SJ and Sistar were very close to theirs. With the sudden help of new fans, even if the increase was small, it could be an important factor in determining their success or failure.
If this trend continued, they would have enough confidence to defeat two strong opponents on the 19th.
"New fans added in overnight …" Pu Guihan clicked on the keyboard. "Let's see where the fans are starting to show their strength. Could it be from overseas?
Eh … this … "
The girls asked one after another, "Where? Where?"
Pu Guihan stared blankly at the screen and muttered, "The IPs basically all come from … Qing. Liang. Li."
The car was completely silent. Han Eun-kyung looked at Park Soyeon.
All the sisters looked at Park Soyeon.
Park Soyeon pursed her lips and muttered, "I wasn't the one who looked for him …"
Everyone was silent.
In the silence, Li Juli faintly said, "What a pity …"
More than two months ago, when everyone was shooting the MV in Cool Breeze, Pu Hyomin had said that it was a pity. At that time, everyone had a more judgmental mentality.
Now that Li Juli also said the same thing, everyone felt the same way.
What a pity … This person was already going to be someone else's third brother-in-law.
Park Soyeon quietly looked at the data on the website, not saying a word.
When they arrived at the backstage of Qingxi University's Hall of Peace, everyone began to put on their makeup. Park Ji-yeon couldn't help but ask, "Hey, third … uh, will Tang Jinyan be coming today?"
Park Soyeon nonchalantly said, "Didn't he say last time that he might not be free?
Shouldn't everyone be more concerned about the identity of that big shot? "
Li Juli faintly said, "In any case, we'll know when we get out.
Whether it's a big shot or third brother-in-law. "
"Don't mention that title."
"What a pity."
"What a pity."
Everyone laughed and began to change into their costumes one after another.
Of course, the so-called club event was also a performance.
The event wasn't broadcasted by television stations, but there were reporters and professional fans who were responsible for recording the entire event. Then, they would upload it to the fan club's website.
The sisters went up to the stage, and the camera flashes lit up. There was a tsunami of cheers in the auditorium.
Park Soyeon's gaze immediately fell on a certain spot in the front row. Tang Jinyan was smiling and clapping for them. When he saw Park Soyeon looking over, he gave her a thumbs up, encouraging her to do her best.
Her mood suddenly became very good, and when she said the established lines, her voice became a bit fuller.
She didn't know if this feeling was because of what a pity everyone said, but she just felt that she really wanted to see him today.
He really did appear, and she was very happy.
This was an official ceremony, and there was a fixed process.
In addition to T-ara's performance and speech, there would also be official speeches, "random" interviews with fans, various photo and autograph events, and some small games, etc.
Tang Jinyan sat there with his arms crossed. He wanted as many photos and autographs as he could get. Why would he want to squeeze in now?
Since they didn't go through with it beforehand, they naturally couldn't interview him. They just crossed their arms and smiled as they watched the performances of the reporters and other fans.
The whole scene was very lively and festive, and Tang Jinyan was also in a good mood.
The reporters also had their own people, the interview team from D Society, and the acting director of D Society, Long Ya, one of Tang Jinyan's old buddies.
Today, he knew that Tang Jinyan would be here, so he also came with the team to see his brother.
"Brother Nine."
Long Ya smiled and sat beside Tang Jinyan. "Do you want to do a group of interviews for you to appear on camera?"
Tang Jinyan smiled and patted his shoulder. "Yoon-rim said that you're like a fish in water in D Society. It seems like this line of work suits you."
"I'm not as good at fighting as Eun-suk and the others, so I can only learn some unorthodox methods to help Brother Nine."
"If what you're doing is unorthodox, then what we're doing should be the demonic path."
Tang Jinyan laughed. "The board of directors of D Society has been training for a while. I think it's about time you came back to help us manage.
The company is lacking talents now. "
"I've been meaning to do so for a long time. I'm waiting for Brother Nine to call me."
The two were chatting when suddenly, there were low shouts and whispers in the stadium. A group of people came in and waved to everyone.
The reporters all moved to greet them. It seemed like it was big news.
Tang Jinyan also subconsciously stopped talking and turned to look. With just one glance, his face suddenly changed.
"So CEO Ren is also a T-ara fan!
This is an uncle's fan! "
The voices of the reporters nearby reached Tang Jinyan's ears. "I didn't expect CEO Ren to come here today!"
The person who came in smiled warmly. "Yes, I've always liked T-ara.
Hobbies have nothing to do with age. "
"CEO Ren is busy, but he actually came to the fan club's activities. It seems like he really loves fans!"
"Yes, I usually wake up at half past five and go to sleep at one at night. It's really tiring." CEO Ren laughed. "But T-ara's charm is great …"
"Does CEO Ren have a favorite group member?"
"Haha, I like the lead singer Soyeon the most."
"Soyeon Xi will be very happy."
The reporter complimented him and quickly went to interview T-ara. T-ara's girls looked at the CEO in disbelief and surprise.
Tang Jinyan sat on the side and watched this show with cold eyes.
Damn, he was indeed a big shot.
Ren Taixi was the CEO of the Presidential Secretary Office of Cheong Wa Dae, one of the presidential candidates this year, and you're telling me you're a fan?
Did it have to be so obvious to use T-ara's popularity to get votes?
What was CCM doing?
Was the president's brain short-circuited?
A mere idol girl group dared to intervene in the political storm of the presidential election?
It was really a good move!
Tang Jinyan asked Long Ya coldly, "What's wrong with Ren Taixi?
Involving a political figure should not help the idol's popularity at all. Instead, it should be somewhat inappropriate.
How could their company not understand something that even I understand? "
Long Ya sighed. "Now that the Democratic Party's momentum is getting bigger, Ren Taixi is also trying to get votes.
He and CJ should have some cooperation, so he went to CJ's company.
CCM is a subsidiary of CJ's subsidiary. "
Tang Jinyan said, "There are so many ways to get votes. CJ should have just made a promotional video for him!"
"One is willing to hit while the other is willing to be hit, each is just taking what they need."
Long Ya explained. "CCM's president, Kim Kwang-soo, has repeatedly emphasized that his goal is to surpass Shaoshi. Look, even the number of members in the group is slowly increasing to nine."
Tang Jinyan was even more puzzled. "What does surpassing Shaoshi have to do with Ren Taixi?
Even S * M Company would hide their relationship with the Democratic Party to outsiders!
How could they do that? "
"Because Girls' Generation was invited to Cheong Wa Dae last year, their momentum was overwhelming. If other groups could not achieve this, then they would never be able to surpass Shaoshi."
Long Ya explained seriously. "So Kim Kwang-soo is betting on Ren Taixi. If the President is a T-ara fan, then Shaoshi is nothing …"
Tang Jinyan was dumbfounded. "F * ck, is Kim Kwang-soo a pig?"
Long Ya laughed. "It's a big gamble.
He also has a good plan. Anyway, Ren Taixi is a T-ara fan, not the other way around, right?
He can control everything, but can he control other people's likes? "
"Wishful thinking." Tang Jinyan gritted his teeth. "This matter … may cause big trouble!"
Long Ya was a little confused. "It can't be that serious, right? Brother Nine, no matter how much the political figures fight, they won't go so far as to make things difficult for a girl idol group. Do they have nothing better to do?"
Tang Jinyan sighed heavily. "Long Ya, in theory, nothing will happen. People who are running for the President won't be so narrow-minded … but this is a sensitive year. Smart people will not stand at the heart of the storm. The more involved they are in politics, the more they want to avoid suspicion. How can there be someone like Kim Kwang-soo who wants to be known by the whole world?"
Long Ya thought for a while, and her face gradually turned ugly. "Brother Nine is right. I remember that the pillar of S * M this year, SJ, only returned this time. Girls' Generation did not return for the whole year, only small group activities and individual announcements."
Thinking about how Xu Xian went to school all day, Tang Jinyan sighed. "So S * M is the biggest music agency. How smart …"
Long Ya comforted him. "It's just a little inappropriate, nothing will happen. Brother Nine, don't worry too much."
Tang Jinyan looked coldly at Ren Taixi going backstage for a photo. "I hope I'm overthinking."
