Chapter 19: The Clouds Move in All Directions
The "Hanzhi" forum is one of the more popular forums in South Korea, and it can probably be ranked in the top 10 in the popularity ranking of the forum.
A month ago, one of the moderators of the "Han Zhi" forum was exposed to misappropriation of a development fund set up by the forum. Although it was quickly dealt with by Li Jingtai and apologized, it still affected the perception of some people on the forum, and directly caused the forum to lose a lot of popularity.
And now, Lee Kyung-tae feels like she has a wonderful opportunity.
The day after Jiang Tae-cheol sang, a post on the "Han Zhi" forum became inexplicably popular.
It's a singing video with hundreds of replies to the post.
And strangely, these replies are basically malicious comments.
"Clown-like storage zĂ i."
"Dirt buns from the countryside."
"A fool who tries to challenge Park Hyo-shin's classics."
"Is his skin color a black half-race?"
Posts are pinned and refined, so people who come into the forum can see it at a glance.
More and more people watched the video and more and more people participated in the discussion.
"What's that upstairs? Keyboard Warrior? â
"Is Park Hyo-shin an authority?"
"Is Seoul the only city in the whole of South Korea?"
"Are you discriminating against so many yellow and black people around the world?"
"Ugly guys, show your weapons!"
An explosive war of words began in the comments.
Maybe I was disgusted by those comments, or maybe I really liked it, and the positive comments gradually increased.
And this pinned post, the replies at the moment have been more than a thousand!
Then inexplicably, at this moment, those malicious comments no longer seem to appear, and the topic of public opinion is guided to the song itself and the singer.
"That's a good singing! I felt his sincerity! â
"It's a completely different feeling from Park Hyo-shin, but I like it!"
"It's so tall! And it looks pretty handsome? Sorry, this video is still a bit blurry. â
"Be my boyfriend!"
Due to the increase in the number of participants and the people who came to watch the battle, the forum is already in full swing at the moment.
And as the video spreads more widely, many people in the music industry have also participated.
"The treble is bright and the bass is accurate."
"The timbre is very beautiful, and I think he can be compared to Park Hyo-shin's singing skills."
"There is a bit of bel canto in his singing, which feels more like the singing style of Teacher Lee Sun-hee."
"I can guarantee that he must have received professional singing training, and his breath is very smooth and can change easily."
"The voice is infectious, he sings with emotion, people can't help but immerse themselves in it, and there are very few singers like this now."
The post is getting hotter and hotter, and it has been pushed to thousands of floors at the moment, and this video has finally spread from the forum to a broader platform.
The first is DAUM, the veteran South Korean portal, which put the video on its homepage and labeled "Passerby's Strongest Singing Skills?" Kang Tae-cheol "Snow Flower" PK Park Hyo-shin! â
Click-through rates have skyrocketed.
And the opponent Naver, who is not far behind, put the video on the homepage of the website and wrote "The newcomer king of the Republic of Korea - Kang Tae-chul, affectionate "Snow Flower" caused countless people to cry! Such a leading and topical title.
The joint promotion of the two major portals and the heated discussions of the major forums, this video unknowingly became popular all over South Korea in just a few days.
And "Snowflake, the King of Passers-by"
"Kang Tae-chul, "Snow Flower"
Topics such as "Kang Tae-cheol, handsome oppa" have been on the naver search hot list!
Among them, "Jiang Tae-cheol, "Snow Flower" has become the second on the naver daily search list, second only to the hot news of "Cui Zhen filed for divorce due to domestic violence".
Due to the limited DV pixels, the distance of the photographer from the stage, and the enthusiastic beating of the photographer, this video cannot clearly see the face of the singer Kang Tae-cheol, but the singing voice is relatively complete.
And at this moment, there is already another group of people who are ready to move, planning something.
"Li Yan, find this person and sign him!"
In a luxurious office, a fat-headed and big-eared man sat on a chair and pointed at Kang Tae-cheol on a computer screen.
"But we only know his name, so we can't confirm his identity."
In front of the table, a middle-aged man wiped his sweat and said cautiously.
"It's your business how to find it, I just need to see the results!" The man in the chair was furious.
"You see with your eyes wide open! With such singing skills, you can gain such high popularity before you debut! Now Naver's hot search is all about him! If we find this person, we don't need to train, as long as we pack it a little, we can make our debut directly! We can make a lot of money! â
The person in the chair jumped like thunder and shook his hand to let Li Yan retreat.
In another office, a good-looking man leaned back in a chair and pointed to the person on the computer.
"How's this guy, Tin City."
"Inside, this person sings well and looks good."
"You know, PSY is not popular now, Dongxu has also encountered a bottleneck, and our newcomers are not mature enough to launch the market." The man didn't finish.
"So we need to get him, a singer who doesn't need much training to make his debut!" Xicheng replied.
"If we don't launch a successful singer, I'm afraid the company will encounter some difficulties......" The man's eyes were blurred.
"This boy has not yet debuted to gain such popularity, I believe it will help us a lot!" Tin City went on.
"I'll go look for him, this Jiang Taizhe, please rest assured President Yang!" Xicheng bowed respectfully.
"Hopefully ......"
Cheongdam-dong.
In an artistic office, a man who looks like an orangutan sits on a table, listening to the analysis of the person in front of him.
"President Park, now that GOD is no longer popular, and it is about to announce the cessation of activities, our company's position is in jeopardy."
A man with glasses talks eloquently.
"Isn't that me?" The man's rugged voice came out, revealing a sense of confidence.
"Except for you, the president? The children are not mature enough to make their debut, so can we JYP only rely on the president to support us?"
"That's right." The orangutan touched his chin.
"Then you go to this person and bring him back to sign a contract!"
The man with glasses is overjoyed and should leave from behind.
"But it looks handsome, but it makes people jealous." Orangutan looking at a screenshot of a video on a computer.
Apgu-tei.
A man with short hair and glasses had a stern face, exuding an aura that no one should enter.
"You mean, do you know this person?" The man pointed to Kang Tae-cheol in the picture.
"Inside, Boss, I once wanted to recruit him as a trainee." Zhao Chengguo was very respectful, for fear that the person in front of him would be angry. Because recently, this big man has suffered a big setback.
"Failed in the end?"
"He didn't have that at the time."
"Sign him, sue him, and you can make your debut right away!" The man's voice was low.
"Inside, I'll try." Zhao Chengguo lowered his head and bowed.
"Kang Tae-chul, interesting." A stiff smile appeared on the man's face.
"If I bet on him, what chips will you come up with?"
For a while, all the large and small companies in Seoul, like wolves smelling blood, had red eyes one by one, trying to find the prey.
Capture him, or tear him to pieces.
