On December 31, 2007, at 23:59:59, at the last second, the year 2008 finally arrived as all the members of the Infinite Challenge passed in the shouts of the MBC Song Battle as the host.
In the new year, Infinite Challenge With the majesty of 07, the Wujiao brothers still swept the Saturday program file the same;And "Two Days and One Night" is also in the eternal "scandal" between Choi Jun-seok and Lee Seung-gi, and "dignified" to the national variety show; "Come and Play" continues to maintain that more than ten percent ratings, and all of them are moving in the best direction, and they don't seem to have to worry about Choi Jun-seok.
Compared with the calm of the entertainment industry, the song world at this time is rekindled by war.
On January 4th, the best men's group in '07 BIGBANG moved to Japan and released the mini album "ForTheWorld", officially opening up the overseas market.
On January 14th, the MV of Girls' Generation's "kissyou" was officially released, and the young and beautiful images of the girls, coupled with the cute lollipop dance, made them begin to catch up and gain the popularity they deserve.
On January 23rd, with the broadcast of KBS Mizuki drama "Kuaidao Hong Jitong", its song ost "If" touched countless audiences, and the singer Kim Tae-yeon, a small child-faced girl, burst out with jaw-dropping feelings in her small body, and won the love of countless audiences. Choi Jun-seok also went to listen to it deliberately, and the girl's voice really made him feel bright. However, as far as he is concerned, this song is completely due to the singer's singing skills, and Kim Tae-yeon's emotional singing voice greatly adds color to the song, and the song itself is not as good as the 'experts', 'professors', and 'fans' boast. In Huang Can's words, "If" found a good singer who surpassed the song itself, so it has such a brilliant effect. If you change someone to sing, it is estimated that there will be no such results. (Mingjian's personal opinion.) I don't like "If", I like "Do You Hear It", it's very superficial, right?)
And Cui Junxi, who has ended his activities in the music industry, is quite a bit of a joke watching the play with Erlang's legs crossed, no, God doesn't seem to want to see Cui Junxi live so comfortably, and immediately put a new test on him. On February 11th, HAHA, the eternal imp in the Infinite Challenge, officially enlisted in the army, and after 4 weeks of military training, he will serve as a public service worker in the Gangnam area of Seoul for 25 months.
This news, which made the members of the Implicated very reluctant, gave rise to a lot of problems. First of all, it is the reduction of the infinite challenge MC lineup, and the tsuò group is struggling with whether to continue to host with 6 people like this, or add another MC to come in, and what kind of role is suitable for the tsuò group.
Another problem is that with the increase in popularity of Choi Jun-seok, the listening rate of the radio program "Haha, Fox" has gradually increased from 8% at the beginning to 15% of the average listening rate, which is not easy in late-night radio. Now that HAHA is going to enlist in the army, what should happen to this program that was used by MBC's top management to 'circle money'? This has become a problem for Choi Jun-seok.
For this reason, HAHA specially asked Choi Jun-seok to come out and apologize. The location is the café where I met Suyoung for the first time. However, unlike the open-air seats they sat in at that time, this time they chose a compartment. When Choi Joon-seok arrived, he found that HAHA was already waiting there.
"Come and sit down" The relationship between the two no longer needs to talk nonsense.
"Brother, what's the matter with me?" Although Cui Junxi was vaguely prepared, he still needed to be sure.
HAHA'S FACE WAS A LITTLE DULL, THE DARK CIRCLES UNDER HIS EYES WERE VERY OBVIOUS, HIS BEARD WAS NOT PROPERLY TRIMMED, AND HE WORE A BLACK HAT TO COVER HIS HAIR. The whole person looked very haggard. I guess he must have been heartbroken about enlistment. However, the matter of military service is a major matter that every Korean citizen who is physically and mentally healthy has to face, and it is simply not up to you. HAHA is 29 years old this year, and he has reached the deadline, and if he does not serve in the military again, it will be a fatal blow to his image, and he will definitely not be able to afford it. …,
Choi Jun-seok sent Kim Jong Kook to enlist in the army in 06, and he is going to send HAHA to enlist in the army this year, and he feels a little speechless when he thinks about it.
"Isn't my brother going to join the army, so there are some things that must be explained first, so as not to be chaotic when you get it. HAHA TUGGED AT THE CORNERS OF HER MOUTH AND SMILED A FAR-FETCHED SMILE.
Choi Jun-seok was silent, he didn't know what to say.
"Don't worry, it's only been two years, it's gone in a blink of an eye, don't you see that Brother Zhong Guoge is about to be discharged from the army~" HAHA generously comforted the silent Cui Junxi. "Time flies so fast~ It turns out that Brother Zhong Guodu has been out of the entertainment industry for two years, and I still clearly remember the time when I danced with him at X-man, as if it was just yesterday~" HAHA finally couldn't help but sigh, in front of the impeccable brothers, HAHA and Choi Jun-seok did not have the need to hide their true emotions. When you are sad, say that you are sad, and they will help you get through it, and when you are happy, you will show off generously, and they will be happy for you and happy together.
It is also because of this that Choi Jun-seok is so uncomfortable. Why did these elder brothers encounter such a thing at the peak of their lives? Kim Jong Kook was asked to enlist in the army immediately after winning the triple crown, and HAHA was immediately required by the government to fulfill the obligation of military service as soon as he won the highest award in history, is this deliberate by the government?
South Korea is an entertainment powerhouse, and its entertainment industry is very developed, so the influence of artists is huge, and it is easy to affect the wishes of ordinary people, and then affect the stability of society. In South Korea, there are even 'burlesque' shows where the artist has more influence than the president. According to the latest poll on a certain network, in the ranking of the "Top 30 Most Influential Korean Media", Jiang Hudong ranked far more than Lee Myung-bak in 13th place with 6th place, and Liu Jae-seok ranked in front of Jiang Hudong because of his activity last year (in reality, it is just the opposite, Jiang Hudong 5, Liu Jae-seok 6, but here, because of the variable of the protagonist, Wuxuan is better than reality, and the famous sword let them come to a swap). As a country with a population of only 50 million, the occurrence of such a thing is a factor of instability for the government. Therefore, the South Korean government's requirements for the Korean entertainment industry are becoming more and more standardized and stricter. As the four major obligations of citizens stipulated in the South Korean Constitution, such as paying taxes, receiving education, working hard and serving in the military, the issue of military service is not allowed to be played, as long as it is exposed (see clearly, as long as it is exposed), it is an unforgivable grave sin.
As a public figure, HAHA's situation is well known, and there is no room for him to turn around, he can only obediently obey the government's arrangement, obediently let go of half his life's hard work in exchange for a qiē, and enlist in the army to serve in the army. This is the most painful and helpless moment for artists.
"Well, brother, just like you said, 2 years will pass quickly, and we will all wait for you to return" Choi Jun-seok suddenly remembered that what he said at this time was so similar to what he said to Kim Jong Kook two years ago, which made his heart even more gloomy, so he was silent again.
“”
HAHA didn't know what to say anymore, he was already in a bad mood, and being able to comfort Choi Jun-seok in turn was already strong enough, but if he opened his eyes and said he didn't care, it would be nonsense.
There was silence between the two for a long time, Cui Junxi cleaned up his mood, broke the silence and asked, "Brother, you should have a lot of things to do, right?
HAHA ALSO WOKE UP FROM HIS TRANCE, HE RUBBED HIS RED AND SWOLLEN EYES, AND SAID TIREDLY, "THAT'S THE CASE, I WANT TO SAY SORRY TO YOU FIRST, BECAUSE OF MY BROTHER'S MATTER, HAHA, THE FOX IS COMING, THE RADIO PROGRAM "HAHA, THE FOX IS COMING" DOESN'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN, I'M REALLY SORRY, NO"
"Brother, don't say that" Choi Jun-seok interrupted his apology, "Brother, you're slapping me in the face, aren't we brothers?" he was a little upset. …,
The way he looked, HAHA was happy on the one hand, and even more guilty on the other. Happy because Choi Jun Seok really treats him as a big brother, and guilty because he caused trouble to his younger brother.
"I know, I know" HAHA patted his hand with emotion, "Jun-seok, I know that you really treat your brother as a big brother, so my brother is even more guilty"
"Brother, do we still need to talk about this?" Choi Jun-seok comforted, "I'll deal with the show's affairs, don't worry too much." ”
"NO MATTER WHAT, I STILL HAVE TO SAY SORRY TO YOU, I'M SORRY~" HAHA STILL INSISTED ON APOLOGIZING.
"Brother, you sigh~" Cui Junxi saw that he couldn't stop him, so he could only sigh helplessly.
"Brother, what are you going to do" Now that the words have been spoken, the two have a detailed discussion about the show, hoping to have a good ending
ON FEBRUARY 10, INFINITE CHALLENGE SPECIALLY PREPARED A PARTING SPECIAL FOR HAHA, ALTHOUGH IT WAS HIS LAST DAY BEFORE ENLISTING IN THE ARMY, HAHA STILL HAD A LOT OF THINGS TO DEAL WITH, BUT HE STILL AGREED TO APPEAR THIS TIME. And when HAHA was blindfolded and taken to Yeouido Park by the members, tears welled up when he took off his blindfold.
It turned out that the zuò group had specially arranged a farewell concert this time, and prepared a large stage for 7,000 people in Yeouido Park, and the theme was 'HAHA Guerrilla Concert', and the main character was HAHA, a little ghost that we will never grow up to grow.
After a day of running in the cold wind, more than 10,000 spectators came to watch the concert that night. When HAHA lifted his blindfold again, the crowd of people who were waiting for him quietly made his tears flow again, and he was moved to the ground for himself, for the members, and for the audience.
That night, it belonged to HAHA, and the members of the Pickless warmed up for him willingly, and even Choi Jun-seok just sang a song "Men Are Tired", and after a burst of laughter, he did not sing "baby" again, but sang a reggae version of "Friend" with HAHA, and the group song "hanamana" by the members of the Pickless Choice (it seems to be translated as "Love to do it?") gave all the brilliance to the imp who was about to leave the Pickless. The audience also knew that this was a farewell concert to send HAHA to the army, and the audience present was basically a non-picky fan, so they didn't make a fuss, but kept cheering for HAHA.
In the end, the event ended perfectly in the cheers of the audience, and HAHA also completed his last trip in the entertainment industry.
