[Entertainment] Want to wear a crown

Two weeks before Min Rui's birthday, this bomb was posted on the official cafe. Fans have always been supernatural. They feel distressed that Min Rui doesn't have enough sleep time for bulletproof. At the same time, many people left messages asking what Min Rui learned. online school.

Under the hint of the company, Min Rui took a photo of him studying a course, and simply shared the academy with his fans on Twitter.

Khan Academy's courses are all free, but lack Korean subtitles.

The Ami middle school student party accounts for the vast majority. As long as the students are students, whether they are their parents or themselves, they will care about their grades. Thinking that idols have studied in this academy for so long, it seems that the teaching quality of this academy is not bad. As long as they are idols Even if you don't understand the courses you have read, you can feel that you are one step closer to his life.

Where there is a need, there is a market.

Thus, the Korean subtitle group of Khan Academy came into being.

Originally, BTS wanted to make a spoof and surprise Min Rui like Tian Zhengguo’s birthday, but both the production team and the brothers gave up this idea after thinking about it.

That kid Min Rui is not easy to fool. It is impossible to frighten him like Tian Zhengguo, but they all lack the time to carefully plan pranks.And if you use the same trick again, if you can't do it very well, it's not interesting.

This made Min Rui, who was expecting all the staff to be tricked, feel helpless for a moment when seeing the brothers directly bring the cake.

"What about Nanjun's birthday?" Min Rui couldn't laugh or cry after hearing the reason, because there was no need for shooting simply by serving cakes for everyone to eat together. After the production team left, they just went to the dormitory after practicing They took out the cake and ate it. Everyone was very tired and didn't bother to play the cake battle. "Isn't his IQ higher?"

Jin Nanjun was arranging the candles after Min Rui made his wish. Hearing this, he said helplessly: "IQ test is just a number. Whether you are smart or not depends on the details in your life."

The problem is that this brother is also very smart in life.

Tian Zhengguo curled his lips, he was too lazy to talk to them, he got the biggest piece of cake, and devoted himself to destroying the cake.

It’s really hard for Jin Shuo to be able to eat sweets again. Before, because he was positioned as a facade, it was harder to control his diet than Pu Zhif, who had abdominal muscles. He obviously has a very soft personality, and his personality is still a quiet nobleman: "When eating, say What are you talking about! Eat quickly and go to bed."

Min Yunqi was lazily holding the cake, unable to eat it, poking the cream with a fork to play: "The one who sleeps after eating is a pig."

Jin Tai silently moved away from this poisonous brother, and sat down next to Zheng Haoxi. He really wanted to wash up and sleep after eating.

Zheng Haoxi was also set up to be miserable. He was originally a stable and reliable character in life, but in order to make fans happy, he was so active in front of the camera. When he was away from the camera, he was too tired. Alright."

Min Rui hadn't eaten a few bites of the cake before receiving a call from Fang Shizhen.

"Happy birthday." Fang Shizhen has already given a gift, which is the laptop that Min Rui used to learn online classes. It is made in Korea. It is not too expensive, and the configuration is not bad. Anyway, Min Rui does not use it for typing. Games, as long as the video is played smoothly.

Min Rui knew that Fang Shizhen would not call just to celebrate his birthday: "En? Is there anything else?"

"There is an endorsement in the United States." Fang Shizhen didn't need to beat around the bush, "It's just free of charge. Only air tickets are included."

Min Rui walked to the bedroom, but didn't answer.When it comes to work matters, no matter how tired he is, he has to cheer up.

Fang Shizhen's management of Min Rui is much looser than that of ordinary artists, and things like endorsements will respect his opinion: "It's a bit complicated, but it's very simple."

Min Rui closed the bedroom door: "Then just tell me."

"It's an invitation from Khan Academy. They want you to be the spokesperson for the Asian region." Fang Shizhen has an email from the other party on his computer, "It's not a spokesperson, it should be an image ambassador."

Min Rui thought about the photos from two weeks ago, maybe it was because the fans retweeted them on Twitter so that the Khan Academy staff noticed, otherwise why so many celebrities in Asia came to him: "Yes."

Anyway, this academy allowed him to learn a lot for free, so it doesn't matter to him if the schedule doesn't conflict.

It’s not that Khan Academy really can’t find endorsers. Most companies don’t want artists to advertise for other companies for free. It’s because Min Rui learned something from this free website, and when he was in the company Zhen still has something to say about Min Rui's personal itinerary.Let him do a white job. If he is in a good mood, let him take an overseas trip.

From the end of November to December, their singing competition has ended. They just want to go to various TV stations to compete for big awards, but according to their current momentum in Korea, they may not be able to win a few big awards.

These are not what Min Rui needs to care about. He agreed to run errands for the more important purpose of making contacts in Europe and the United States.

"Am I the only one in the whole group? Who else was invited?" Min Rui asked after Fang Shizhen responded.

Fang Shizhen felt a headache when he saw a large list of English names. This college does not accept course fees, and the funds are all sponsored by other companies like charity, and the celebrities invited are not big names.The idols of small internet celebrities and Korean entertainment groups like Min Rui can be the spokespersons of the Asian region, which shows that the reputation of this academy still needs a lot of room for improvement.

"Greyson Chase?" Fang Shizhen chose an easy-to-pronounce name from a long list of English names, but he still couldn't hear Min Rui clearly when he pronounced it.

Min Rui has given up the idea of ​​continuing to ask: "Then how will my brothers' itinerary be arranged after I go to the United States?"

Fang Shizhen turned the swivel chair around on tiptoes: "This is not something you need to worry about, you just need to make more friends in the United States."

However, Min Rui still wanted to inquire clearly so that he could feel more at ease in the United States.

"Where will they have any activities during that time?" Fang Shizhen was helpless, "The stage at the end of the year is coming, and I must be in the practice room every day. Isn't our small company's operation plan and profit amount all for you to see? Well, how can I accept a lot of variety shows in the first half a year after my debut? The one on sbs is my previous relationship."

"Appropriate exposure is necessary." Min Rui sat on the bed with one hand behind his head, "Uncle, don't accept too crappy variety shows."

Fang Shizhen smiled wryly: "When you are here, I can say that I am taking care of my nephew, but it is very embarrassing if you are not here."

For the company's executives, BTS is just a commodity, and profit is paramount.

Min Rui pursed her lips, and the idea of ​​being admitted to Sungkyunkwan School of Economics popped up again.

He went to the United States alone, even if it was only for three days, he still worried about his seven brothers in Korea.

But after thinking about it, it's only three days, and there won't be any big troubles. Those brothers are not fools, but he himself has to pay 12 points to pay attention to some things in the United States.

------

On November 11st, the first day after Min Rui left, the company accepted a program for Min Yunqi and Kim Namjoon, namely "Kimboghyun's Hippop 21st Anniversary Broadcast Invitation", and several underground rappers participated in the broadcast together.

The underground prejudice against idols has been around for a long time. Min Yoon-ki and Kim Nam-joon had been mentally prepared before their debut. They faced repeated difficulties and disrespect during the broadcast, and the good upbringing of the two of them was exceptionally obvious in comparison. obvious.

This is a Hongmen banquet.

Min Yunqi and Jin Nanjun were sandwiched between the host and the underground rapper, and they didn't show much obvious anger in the face of bfree's repeated doubts.

To put it bluntly, the diss is nothing more than the strength of the idol and the dressing and makeup before going on stage are just an assembly line operation that tends to be commercialized. Idols are not qualified to claim to be a black bubble route, and the video released by BTS on Youtube plagiarized Their idol kanye west.

Speaking of which, what they mean is pretty obvious.

Whether it's bfree, or the host who is sitting on the sidelines and fanning the flames, there is only one message they convey: you have no strength, you just rely on commercialized packaging to attract ignorant girls, you don't deserve to call yourself black bubble, you copy Kanyewest.

"'Gay like appearance, quickly change back to a man.' What do you think of this sentence written by the rappers in the lyrics? When BTS put on makeup and prepared to perform on stage, don't you feel that there is a conflict with black bubbles? Is it?" The host looked at Jin Nanjun and asked the latter to repeat the question.

"No, no, no, that's not makeup, that's a girl, like a girl." The rapper wearing a fisherman's hat and white clothes replied before Jin Nanjun opened his mouth. He shook his head in agreement when the host asked a question before. The Ministry expressed interest in this question with body language, "Isn't dressing like a woman a woman?"

When the fans in the audience booed, the host quickly controlled the field: "Then I don't think BTS should be like that. What do you think about things like smoky makeup?"

The host looked at Jin Nanjun, even though he said so, he still intentionally misrepresented the original intention of BTS.

Jin Nanjun has always put the microphone by his mouth, wanting to respond to questions, but his good upbringing prevents him from interrupting when others are talking, and now he can finally answer: "I am still very reluctant to wear makeup, and I have refused. I also understand the black bubble culture..."

"Then what do you want to do?" bfree interjected and asked, "You said just now that you understand both idols and black pao, you understand both, what do you want to do after understanding so much?"

Min Yunqi lowered his head, Jin Nanjun obviously didn't finish his answer just now, he took out another microphone, and couldn't find a space to speak in bfree's barrage of questions, so he had to preemptively use his air voice: "Uh..."

Bfree's microphone was suppressed by the host on the side.

Min Yunqi looked at them: "If you watch the show, you will know that whether it's me or Ramon, we are both people who love black pops. Like me, I started making music in Daegu. I just want to make more music. More people hear my music, that's one reason, and I think Ramon is too, and while it might be offensive to say that, I want to make the underground relevant to the mainstream."

Thinking of what Min Rui once said, the corners of Min Yunqi's mouth curled up slightly, but was quickly suppressed again.

"I worked really hard when I was making music in Daegu. I was hungry at night and had to buy equipment. I gave up a lot to do music. It was really tiring." After all, people like Min Rui have the best environment for learning music by chance There are still a few people, Min Yunqi narrated his previous experience, telling these rappers who questioned their strength and the fans who supported them in the audience, "Even if I write a song and sell it, I don't even get 10 yuan. I hate the fact that, and also, I don’t like wearing smoky makeup. It’s hard to do music in Daegu like that, and my hyungs who were with me wanted to do music with me, so we came to Seoul.”

The others wanted to interrupt while Min Yoon Ki was talking, but Min Yoon Ki didn't take their intention to interrupt as seriously as Kim Nam Joon did.

At the beginning, as soon as other people made their voices, Jin Nanjun stopped talking and let them speak, but Min Yunqi didn't give them a chance to intervene, and continued all the way: "I know, it is very important to want to be a bridge connecting the underground and the mainstream." It’s difficult, but my dream is to do this and get recognized with my hyungs, so I came to Seoul.”

"So, your purpose is just to make money?" the host concluded.

"No," Min Yunqi was still smiling when he spoke, but when his eyes swept towards the host, he was undeniably firm, "I have also performed in front of two people before, I can't say I'm here It's a nasty reality, but I'm blessed with the reality that tens of thousands of people can hear my voice. I'm grateful."

"What I want to say is, I know this. Uh, suga means sugar, Tang Tang and Ramon Xi, I don't know them, so I don't think they know us." Bfree took the microphone, "I didn't listen I’ve played BTS’s music, so I’m curious, how did you guys form BTS?”

Jin Nanjun briefly described how he met Fang Shizhen through his untouchable brothers, and then said: "In the beginning we were rappers, and we didn't dance. In the beginning, there were only four of us together with myself. Later, we formed a group and danced. We There are many programs where we want to show our rap."

"Including YouTube?" bfree asked, "Isn't there a guy named Alex in your group who is very popular on YouTube? Before his debut, I saw that there were no black bubbles in his works."

Min Yunqi picked up the microphone: "Min Rui is the ace in our group. His treble is easy to handle. At the same time, his rap skills are also improving rapidly. It was just a whim when he first posted YouTube videos. We didn't expect it to be popular. The company was very angry when they found out. , if he showed his rap ability from the beginning, then the project would have no secrecy at all. So when he received a lot of attention, the company had no choice but to ask him not to post rap videos.”

"Look, planning." Bfree seemed to grasp some important clue, "You are still commodities after all."

When Jin Nanjun was about to say something, bfree said again: "So, BTS is composed of the best and most handsome people selected from the draft? Can you explain it that way?"

"I didn't say that, I mean, BTS is that we have the same interest in the same situation..." Kim Namjoon wanted to explain what he meant by his distortion, but was interrupted again.

"Suga also said just now that composing music is very hard, and you can't even get ten yuan for the sold items. I can understand this, but in the end, it is a question of whether you can persist to the end." The meaning of bfree is obvious, okay Well, I admit that you guys know a little bit about Hei Pao, but in order to make money, you forgot your original intention, betrayed the rapper and became a make-up idol. After all, you are still a guy with insufficient ability and no perseverance.

"We were on the same road, but you didn't resist the temptation..."

Min Yunqi finally couldn't help interrupting him: "May I ask what temptation you are talking about? I don't understand why you call it temptation."

"Let's stop here." The host interrupted him, "I'll talk about it later. Otherwise..." There are so many BTS fans watching, I really don't understand what happened to bfree.

"Ah, I forgot to mention one more just now." bfree suddenly thought of something, "Do you know kanyewest? Blackskinhead, some people said that he made a song similar to this song. I checked, it is a beat-like rap , What's going on? I was very angry as a fan at the time."

Here comes the point.

Just now, the insinuations on the sidelines have hurt so much, and this question is what he really wants to ask.

"I'm sorry." He looked at the serious expression of the fans and quickly apologized first, "You accepted my apology. But at that time, you said that the producer of Kanyewest helped you cook the meal. What's going on?"

The fans in the audience who were a little bit angry were suppressed by him in this way. They held back for the time being and waited for Jin Nanjun's response.

"First of all, there is a little misunderstanding about Kanye West." Jin Nanjun said, "It's just a mix song. First of all, the video is a concept preview, so we don't have any rap to show. We also performed that song on stage, but we There is no rap, we just want to borrow that concept to express us. We just want to show the dance that was composed for the original song, we want to use the original song of "blackskinhead", but there are many people in Korea who criticize this song, it does not meet the public's aesthetics , so we can't use the original song, if we are allowed the copyright, it will definitely be cleaner."

"Do you like Kanye West?" bfree asked.

Of course, Jin Nanjun likes it. The album brought back by Min Rui's British friend is placed by his bedside every morning and he has to read it to cheer himself up.

"Then since you are an artist you like, why do you still use the same mr, and then act as if it is your own music? Upload it to Youtube, talk about rap in that mv, and make a similar stage. If you copy it completely If you don't, I think it's a kind of disrespect to the artist you like." bfree said, looking at Jin Nanjun's face through the sunglasses.

"I don't understand what you mean by copying the stage. We just danced." Jin Nanjun and bfree sat at the two ends of the long table, and the confrontation between them did not ease up between several people.

"That's it, this is not a game of truth or dare." The host didn't give them a chance to speak again. I can't say anything more.

Jin Nanjun and Min Yunqi exchanged glances, wondering if the fans who recorded the video would post it on the Internet.

Thinking about the possible future trend of public opinion, the theory of BTS and plagiarism will definitely be brought up.

On November 11, US time, the two foreign students who filmed the video had already uploaded it to their personal Youtube channel.

On the 22nd, BTS tweeted a photo.

Min Rui, with a net height of 182cm, and Kanyewest, who is 175cm tall, stood together. Min Rui, who was half a head taller than Kanye, was dressed in a capable black formal suit, with light chestnut hair styled with parted bangs, revealing heroic eyebrows and deep eyes. hook.

As a hip-hop artist, Kanye looks very awkward in a formal suit. His short hair and round inches can't make much shape, but the big gold chain on his body is as thick as a finger. Compared with Min Rui's simple and refreshing youth dress, he looks more like He is a nouveau riche who shows off his wealth.

The two stretched out their right hands to hold each other, with smiles on their faces.

The background is the fashion conference of Kanye West's current wife Kim Kardashian's personal brand Kardashian Kollection.Sharp-eyed people noticed that both of them were wearing new high-end autumn clothes of the season.

Kanye in suits and leather shoes has obviously been carefully dressed by a stylist. It is said that he also performed the new "yeezus" in June with new women's clothing and perfume as elements in the show.

It just corresponds to what bfree said before: Dress like a woman, isn't that a woman?

Fans tweeted and asked if Min Rui was responding to bfree from a distance. Hitting the opponent's face with the other's idol, but how did Min Rui have so much energy to be invited to Kardashian's show?And how did he meet Kanye?

More people simply brushed up the topic, just under this official tweet.

It was already on the hot search list within a day.

And when Min Rui returned to Korea, he saw topics like [Min Rui responds to bfree's question] [Slapping idols in the face] on the hot search list.

Seemingly in desperation, he chose a sub-user of the fan site he was most familiar with and replied: Who is bfree?
