Chapter 423: Kim Jong Kook's New Album
On January 2 and January 9 this year, SBS TV's popular variety show "X-Man" broadcast the 26th episode of the first and second episodes, and the regular guest Kim Jong Kook suddenly bid farewell to the program group after participating in these two episodes.
Naturally, it's not because Kim Jong Kook doesn't want to participate in this variety show anymore, not to mention that this variety show is very popular, Kim Jong Kook won't give up easily, even if it's because of his deep friendship with MC Yoo Jae-seok, the righteous Kim Jong Kook will not quit.
Kim Jong Kook is saying goodbye temporarily, and it is expected that the farewell time will be nearly half a year, for no other reason, because he needs to prepare his third solo regular album!
In mid-2004, Kim Jong Kook released his second solo album "Evolution", and with the two songs "A Man" and "Poisoned" written to him by Kim Jingcheng, he successfully reversed the bad luck of the failure of his first solo album, and survived more than two years of difficult dormancy in one fell swoop, and re-seized his own stage in the entertainment industry.
At the end of 2004, Kim Jong Kook also won a lot of awards at some award ceremonies with this successful album.
The second solo album was so successful that Kim Jong Kook naturally did not dare to slack off on the third solo album, and his current agency, JJC Entertainment Studio, also attached great importance to it.
Therefore, under the initiative of Kim Jong Kook and the careful consideration of JJC Entertainment Studio, it was decided that Kim Jong Kook would temporarily bid farewell to "X-Man" and seriously prepare for his third solo album, which will appear in front of the public with a more perfect image at that time.
Kim Kyung-sung, who is also the younger brother and president, will naturally support him strongly, on the one hand, he asked JJC Entertainment Studio to fully cooperate with the preparation of Kim Jong Kook's new album, and on the other hand, he himself once again sent the songs he wrote to Kim Jong Kook.
When Kim Jong Kook was preparing for his second solo album, Kim Kyung Sung, who was still in the United States, wrote two songs for Kim Jong Kook, "A Man" and "Poisoned", and later these two songs made the image of "a man" Kim Jong Kook.
And this time. Kim Kyung-sung wrote three songs for Kim Jong-kook at once, namely "Likable", "Standing Still" and "Stars, Wind, Sunshine and Love". Kim Jong Kook has already seen all three songs, except for some opinions on the song "Likable". He liked both of the other songs.
In Kim Jong Kook's view, the song style of "Likable" is a bit "lively" and even "cute", requiring him to dance some cute dances when singing, which makes him a little uncomfortable when he is used to lyrical music.
Faced with Kim Jong Kook's statement, Jin Jingcheng smiled and said: "Brother, even if you don't like the other two songs, it doesn't matter, but only this one, I really don't want you to not." Trust me, I think you're a good fit to sing this song, and it might have the desired popularity. ”
Then he said, "Don't forget that you used to be a member of Turbo, and although you are now a lyricist, you still have that kind of engine ability and charm in your bones." ”
Kim Jingcheng knows how much of a sensation this "Likable" caused in South Korea in his previous life, and how far-reaching and significant it has on Kim Jong Kook, but it is inconvenient for him to say these things. All he could do was rely on his brother's affection and belief. Let Kim Jong Kook not give up.
In the end, Kim Jong Kook still agreed with a smile, patted Kim Jingcheng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Isn't it just a song, even if it damages my image at that time, since you said so." I can't live up to this heart as an elder brother, not to mention that you're still my president. ”
Jin Jingcheng smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, you will be glad about your decision in the future." ”
Then Jin Jingcheng suddenly said: "By the way, half a year later, when you return to the "X-Man" program group when the new album is released." I want to join you. ”
Kim Jong Kook was surprised: "You...... You're not kidding me, and you want to be on this kind of variety show?"
In Kim Jong Kook's view, although Jin Jingcheng is still a newcomer who has debuted in the entertainment industry and has not been around for a long time, Jin Jingcheng has gained a lot of fame and status with his series of magical performances, so he does not need to appear in variety shows like "X-Man", according to his star image and development direction, there is no need to appear in "X-Man".
Jin Jingcheng said with a smile: "Of course I'm not joking, I really want to participate, and then you can help me talk to the program team and Liu Zaishi's seniors." ”
It's really no joke, Jin Jingcheng wants to participate in "X-Man", but he doesn't want to rely on this variety show to increase his exposure, although he is still a newcomer in the Korean entertainment industry, he has created his own magic, and he doesn't need to rely on any programs to increase exposure, in fact, he himself is often avoiding invitations to some variety shows.
Kim has a special purpose because he has a plan in mind that will be implemented in X-Man at that time.
Kim Jong Kook responded with a smile: "With your current fame and momentum, do you still need me to say it?"
Jin Jingcheng nodded: "With this personal friendship, you don't have to use it in vain." ”
Kim Jong Kook was speechless.
Naturally, since Jin Jingcheng opened this mouth, Jin Zhongguo would definitely help with this, but he was very curious about what kind of ideas Jin Jingcheng had and what he wanted to do.
Kim Jong Kook didn't ask, knowing that Kim Kyung-sung probably wouldn't say anything if he asked.
In the eyes of many people, Jin Jingcheng's image is a bit mysterious, but in fact, even in the eyes of Kim Zhongguo's brother, Jin Jingcheng is also a little mysterious.
No matter how close a brother is, it is inevitable that they will keep some secrets of their own.
Just like Kim Jong Kook rarely mentions his feelings to Kim Jingcheng.
……
That night, at eight o'clock, Jin Jingcheng and the Year of the Dragon Club had already arrived at the Night Paradise nightclub in advance, staying in a large lounge that had been temporarily opened up to prepare for the final performance.
At this time, Cha Tae-hyun, who had just gotten a message, suddenly teased Kim Jong Kook: "Ah, Jong Kook, your charm is really great." While teasing, Cha Tae-hyun also looked at Kim Jong Kook with strange eyes.
Jang Hyuk, Hong Kyung-min, and Hong Kyung-in were all puzzled when they heard this, and Kim Jong-kook himself was also puzzled.
Jin Jingcheng guessed the reason, because just before, he had received a text message from Tiehu, which listed a list of some celebrities who came to the Paradise nightclub tonight, which made Jin Jingcheng have a number in his heart, including Yin Enhui.
"What are you talking about?" asked Kim Jong Kook in confusion.
Cha Tae-hyun saw that Kim Jong Kook didn't look like he was pretending to be stupid, so he said calmly: "Yoon Eun-hye came to the nightclub to watch the concert, don't you know?"
Kim Jong Kook let out an "ah", and suddenly looked a little embarrassed: "I don't know." ”
Hong Jingmin said with a smile: "Yin Enhui must be coming at you, you don't even know it." ”
Kim Jong Kook became more and more embarrassed, and immediately walked out of the lounge, presumably secretly calling Yoon Eun-hye.
Looking at Kim Jong Kook like this, Lian Jin actually had to wonder if there was really something between him and Yoon Eun Hye. (To be continued......)
