Chapter 25: Celebration

"Rain, get ready, it's going to be your stage soon." Half an hour later, "Popular Songs" also officially began, but after a while, a staff member knocked on the door to remind him.

"Brother, then I'll go first." After thanking the staff for the reminder, Rain stood up and said as he took one last look at his attire to make sure there were no problems.

"Well, I won't go out, I'll wait for you here, come on!" Rain is not a newcomer who has just debuted, and he knows what he needs to do on stage, and he knows everything to pay attention to and prepare. Therefore, Han Quanyou didn't talk too much nonsense, just patted Rain's shoulder and said calmly.

"Well" Rain nodded calmly and rushed towards the stage with the backup dancers.

"Huh~~~" As Rain left, Han Quanyou couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, sitting on the sofa, looking at the ongoing "Popular Ballad" in a daze.

In fact, Han Kwonwoo is still very confident in the song "How to Avoid the Sun", after all, before the crossing, Rain relied on this song, and this album became popular all over South Korea, and his status quickly rose to a first-class singer.

But this time Han Quanyou was still a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, the singers who participated in "Popular Songs" this time are still very powerful, not to mention TVXQ, Huixing, Cheng Shijing and Lexy are all difficult to deal with.

When he saw the guest list of "Popular Ballads" in this issue, Han Quanyou was a little skeptical, whether it was the best way for him to let Rain take the path of "Popular Ballads" at this time to announce his return.

Just when Han Quanyou was worried, at this time, on the stage of "Popular Ballads", it was also Rain's turn to appear. Listening to the hosts Kim Dong-wan and Park Han-sung introducing Rain, Han Kwon-woo's attention also came up.

Although Rain can't be compared with Han Quanyou, the demon, it can't be underestimated, Rain itself is very popular, and he is also very popular and influential.

As some senior experts said, if it weren't for Han Quanyou's birth in 02, the biggest discovery in the Korean music scene in 02 would be rain, which shows the potential of rain.

Although it has been about a year since I went to this country, it does not mean that RAIN is not popular in Korea. Although there are not many, there has always been a group of loyal fans who have been silently supporting.

No, today's "Popular Ballad" scene also came to many RAIN fans. As Rain and the backup dancers took the stage, there was still a burst of cheers and screams from fans in the studio, and both Rain and Han Kwonwoo were very happy to see this scene.

Rain is happy because when he went to Yuben for so long, the fans in Korea have never forgotten him and have always supported him, of course, he is happy. As for Han Kwon-woo, it is to see Rain's influence and popularity, which makes Han Kwon-woo even more sure that this time Rain's new album will be successful.

The song "How to Hide from the Sun" is really great, especially since this song was written by Han Kwonwoo, which makes everyone freeze this song into the ranks of high-quality songs. No way, it's just people's subconscious behavior, just like Xing Ye makes a movie, the audience's first thought is that it must be very funny and good-looking.

In addition, through the joint efforts of Han Quanyou, Rain and Jung Sizhe, the dance of the song "How to Avoid the Sun" is much more wonderful than the original dance. As Rain began to sing and dance, the screams and exclamations of the scene never stopped.

Seeing this scene, Han Quanyou, who was staying in the RAIN waiting room, couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth. Judging from all the reactions on the scene, Rain's stage this time was a success, and it could not be more successful. Thinking of TVXQ, especially the shadow Li Xiuman behind him, Han Quanyou couldn't help but sneer. If you want to crush our ss, is it so simple and easy?

"Thank you!!" Amid the screams of the fans at the scene, Rain waved his hands excitedly to greet the fans at the scene, and then bowed and left. This scene was also seen by Han Quanyou in the waiting room, and seeing this, Han Quanyou couldn't help but get up.

It's successful, there's nothing to say, unless this time other singers suddenly pop up with a song that surpasses "How to Avoid the Sun", otherwise, this time the champion Rain is decided.

However, the song "How to Avoid the Sun" itself is a high-quality song, and among the songs currently on the charts of other singers, there are really few songs that can be compared with the song "How to Avoid the Sun". Even if there are so many songs, they have participated in several episodes of "Popular Ballads", and I believe that fans do not have the freshness at the beginning. Obviously, this time Rain's song "How to Hide from the Sun" has a good chance of winning the championship.

At this moment, Rain and the backup dancers also returned to the waiting room, and Rain's face was already full of smiles compared to the calm, worry, and nervousness at the beginning.

"Well done!" Han Quanyou hugged Rain fiercely and said excitedly.

"Huh!" Rain was not a very extroverted person in the first place, although he was also very excited and happy in his heart, but he was not as excited as Han Quanyou showed, and just smiled happily.

"This time it's no problem to win the title." Sitting on the sofa and handing Rain a bottle of water, Han Quanyou said happily.

"No, after all, the champion of this issue has not yet been announced, and no one knows the final answer. Besides, other singers are not bad, my lexy's "Hairy Child" and Huixing's "Reunion Day" are both excellent. ”

Although he also wanted to win the championship in his heart, seeing Han Quanyou so sure that he had won the championship, Rain still said uncertainly.

"Hehe, no problem, trust my instincts." Han Quanyou didn't know how to explain it, so he could only talk about it directly to himself.

"Oh!" Rain nodded excitedly, happy for the title he was about to win. You must know that in the past two years, many times Han Quanyou has shown the appearance of a prophet, and Han Quanyou doesn't know how to explain it to Rain, so he can only say that it is his own intuition. And time and time again, it has been proved that Han Quanyou's intuition is indeed very accurate, which is why Rain is so happy and sure that he has won the championship of this issue.

"Hehe, I believe that President Li Xiuman will be very disappointed this time." Unconsciously, "Popular Ballads" is gradually coming to an end, and TVXQ is performing the stage at this time. Looking at TVXQ who was performing, Rain couldn't help but say with a smile.

"Yes!" Looking at the handsome TVXQ, Han Quanyou also had to sigh, although for his own reasons, TVXQ made his debut ahead of schedule, but he had to admit that TVXQ does have the strength and potential to become the third generation of MS super group after HOT and mythical combinations.

You must know that so far, with the resolution of the mythical group and MS, GOD began to develop independently, and in the current pop music scene, especially the vacancy of the top boy group, TVXQ's debut timing is very good, and it has instantly become a new generation of super groups.

"Brother, I'll go over first." With TVXQ's performance over, Rain was ready to go on stage and wait for the host to announce the ownership of the champion of this issue.

"En!!" Nodding and seeing Rain leave, Han Quanyou began to make calls. Thinking of this, Han Kwon Woo is ready to invite Jiang Hudong, Liu Jae-seok and Kim Jidong to come out for dinner, and by the way, let the three of them promote and take care of Rain.

"Okay, the champion of this issue of "Popular Songs" is "How to Avoid the Sun", congratulations to rain!" With Kim Dongwan's announcement, the champion of this issue of "Popular Songs" was finally picked up by Rain.

"En~ Okay brother, hurry up, let's meet at the old place." Seeing the rain who won the championship and was encore, Han Quanyou couldn't help but happily end Yu Yoo Jae-seok's call and began to really calm down.

"Brother, you are so powerful, your intuition is really accurate." As soon as Rain, who won the championship, returned to the waiting room, the first sentence made Han Quanyou depressed.

What is intuitive and not intuitive, that's just fooling you, a simple child. Looking at the happy rain, Han Quanyou couldn't help but smile and said: "Very good, this time you returned to the stage for the first time and won the championship, there is nothing to say, let's go drink and celebrate." ”

"Yes!" For Han Kwonwoo's proposal, Rain did not refuse, after all, this is indeed a thing worth celebrating.

"Wait a minute, you have to pay attention, my brother has invited all the top three hosts in South Korea, and you should pay attention to what you say when the time comes." The group walked to the parking lot and got into the car, Han Quanyou told the driver the place, and then said to Rain beside him.

"Liu Jae-seok, Jiang Hudong, Jin Jidong?" The three top hosts, Rain asked instantly.

"Yes." At present, the three of them are indeed the three major hosts in South Korea, as long as they are people who pay attention to variety shows and entertainment news, basically no one does not know, and it is normal for Rain to be able to guess it.

"Thank you, brother!" Rain said with a grateful face, indeed, being able to invite the three hosts out for dinner must be to introduce themselves to the three hosts and let the other party take care of themselves. Thinking of this, Rain said with some emotion.

"What is there to thank, you are my brother, I don't take care of who you take care of. Even if you remove this relationship, you are also an artist under my company, of course, I hope that you can get better development, and it is normal to help you introduce them to Brother Shi. ”

"Ding Ding Ding ~~~~" At this time, the phone suddenly remembered, and looked at the caller ID, it turned out to be Jiang Hudong calling.

"Brother Hudong!" Signaling to Rain to be quiet and answering the phone hands-free, Han Quanyou said loudly.

"Ah~ Where the hell are you kid, I'm here, why didn't I see you, hurry up, I'm going to starve to death." Jiang Hudong's impatient complaint came from the phone, which also made Han Quanyou and Rain laugh.

It seems that Jiang Hudong is indeed very persistent about eating, but he just called Jiang Hudong to come over for dinner together, Jiang Hudong, who was originally still on KBS TV, has arrived at his destination in less than twenty minutes, and he has to admit that delicious food has a fatal temptation for Jiang Hudong.

"Well, I'm on the way, I'll come over right away, brother, go and order food first, order whatever you want, I'll pay the bill." It's not a way to let Jiang Hudong wait for him and Rain at the door, and it's not good, after thinking about it, Han Quanyou still decided to let Jiang Hudong wait for him and Rain in the golden box.

"Oh, really, I can order whatever I want." Hearing that he could order whatever he wanted to eat, this also made Jiang Hudong excited.

"Hehe~~~ Don't worry, brother, this time I have enough money, you can rest assured, you can eat whatever you want, and you can eat as much as you want." Subconsciously looked at his wallet and found that he had enough money, and Han Quanyou also said with confidence.

"Hehe, I know that you kid is interesting enough, then I'll go and order food first, you're welcome." After saying that, the excited Jiang Hudong hung up the phone without even giving Han Quanyou a chance to speak, which also made Han Quanyou very depressed.

"Hehe, Brother Hu Dong is indeed very persistent in eating." Looking at Han Quanyou, who was depressed, Rain said with a smile.

"Cut~ This is something that the whole of Korea knows." Depressed put the phone back in his pocket, Han Quanyou leaned back in the chair and said lightly.

Ten minutes later, Han Quanyou and Rain came to the destination, first entertained Rain's work team, and after arranging these people, Han Quanyou and Rain walked towards the box under the leadership of the staff.

"Ah~~~ You're finally here, do you know that we've been waiting for you for a long time, you must know that we are seniors, let our seniors wait for you, do you know what the consequences are." As soon as he walked into the box, Jiang Hudong's loud voice began to speak.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry~~~" looked at the box, good guys, Jiang Hudong, Liu Jae-seok and Kim Ji-dong all arrived, especially when they heard Jiang Hudong's words, Han Quanyou and Rain hurriedly bowed and apologized.

"Okay, okay, it's okay, you guys come and sit down quickly. Hudong, you don't know, SBS is a little far from here, and it's normal for Kwon Woo and Rain to be a little late. At this time, Liu Zaishi, a good old man, stood up and began to help the two speak.

"This is not a reason, you must know that we are seniors, and we have waited so long for these two boys, so I can't stand to be hungry, and I can't do it if I don't punish it." Jiang Hudong continued to say coquettishly.

Obviously, Rain is still not used to Jiang Hudong's coquettish speech, and he looked at the coquettish Jiang Hudong with a stunned face, and Rain didn't know what to say.

"Boss, add another plate of pork belly." Seeing that Jiang Hudong still didn't give up, there was no way, Han Quanyou said to the boss helplessly.

"Hehe, that's right, come on, come on, sit~~ What are you polite, speaking of which we are polite, you are the master." Jiang Hudong's face really changed when he said it, especially when he heard Han Quanyou ask for more pork belly on the side, Jiang Hudong's face suddenly smiled, and he hurriedly greeted the two.

With a stunned rain, Han Quanyou looked at Jiang Hudong with a happy face, and really didn't know what to say. As I said on the phone, you can eat whatever you want, and you can eat as much as you want. Why do you want to deliberately pose the identity of your predecessors like this now, and deliberately take a little advantage, I don't know what Jiang Hudong's brain thinks.

"Hey~ Hudong, you only know how to eat." Looking at Jiang Hudong, who was as changeable as a child, Jin Jidong couldn't help but smile at this time.

"Cut~ You can say whatever you like, anyway, as long as there is something delicious, I don't care." Jiang Hudong's face is not thin, and he doesn't care about Jin Jidong's jokes at all.

"By the way, Rain congratulates you, you can win the championship on the first stage of your return, congratulations." Seeing that everyone was doing a good job, Liu Zaishi raised the wine glass in his hand and said to Rain.

"Yes, congratulations!" With Liu Zaishi's words, Jin Jidong and Jiang Hudong also reacted, and they all raised their wine glasses and said to Rain.

"Thank you, thank you. The seniors are too polite. Seeing the three hosts toasting their wines, Rain quickly stood up and bowed and said.

As long as men drink at the wine table, their feelings for each other can generally become very deep. No, everyone drank a glass of wine together, and the atmosphere began to come up.

"This is rain Zheng Zhixun, my good brother and good buddy, I will ask you big brothers to take care of it in the future." Pointing to the rain beside him, Han Quanyou said to the three of them.

"Hehe, no problem, it should be. Zhixun is no stranger to us, your best brother, since he is your best brother, of course, he is also our brother, and it is also appropriate to take care of Zhixun's younger brother, you kid can rest assured. It seems that the delicious food on the table made Jiang Hudong very happy, and after listening to Han Quanyou's words, he said very happily. And Liu Zaishi and Jin Jidong on the side also nodded and promised that they would definitely take care of Rain in the future.

"Thank you! Thank you, Brother Hudong, Brother Shi and Brother Jidong, the younger brother will trouble you in the future. Rain stood up again and bowed to the three of them in thanks.

"Ah, don't stand up and bow at every turn, boy, as if we're not willing to take care of you. Look at this kid Kwon You, who is no bigger or less than us, and has no rules at all. But don't say it, the appearance of this kid is our favorite, you bow politely to us at every turn to express your gratitude, we can't be intimate if we want to. ”

Seeing Rain standing up and bowing again, Liu Zaishi shook his head helplessly, pointed to Han Quanyou on the side and said. And Jiang Hudong and Jin Jidong on the side nodded very agreeably, indeed, if Rain is so polite, then everyone is too close to each other, and they can't be intimate if they want to.

"Well, I know brother, I'll pay attention." Liu Zaishi said so, and Rain also followed the meaning of the three of them, sat down and said. However, because the relationship between Rain and the three of them is not very familiar, it still seems a little nervous and restrained.

After a simple conversation, there are Jiang Hudong, Liu Zaishi and Jin Jidong present, rain is impossible even if he doesn't want to relax, the host is the best at making the atmosphere, and as a top host, how to make the guests relax, this is that the three of them are definitely expert-level people. While eating and drinking, while chatting, rain also let go, which also made Jiang Hudong and the three of them very satisfied.

"Kwon Woo, you SS is really leaving, look at you and Ji Xun, both of their new albums were launched on the stage of "Popular Songs" for the first time, and they won the championship without album sales, which is really amazing." Suddenly, Kim Jidong took a breath, looked at Han Quanyou and said with a sigh.

"Yes, yes, Jidong didn't say it, I really didn't pay attention. If you think about it, it's really like this, Kwon Youyou and Ji Xun, the new album was launched along the path of "Popular Ballads", and it was indeed a great thing to win the championship without album sales. Jin Jidong's words also made Liu Zaishi and Jiang Hudong idle, and said with emotion.
