Chapter 29 Dragon Year Club

At night, Jin Jingcheng was looking up a stack of magazines in his bedroom.

These are all entertainment magazines in South Korea in recent years, including movies, TV series, music, variety shows, fashion and other aspects.

I checked these not because Kim Jingcheng was curious about the messy entertainment news, but because I wanted to have a more in-depth understanding of the entertainment trends in South Korea in recent years. Aside from watching the excitement and an insider watching the tricks, but Kim Jingcheng wanted to see the tricks.

Although Kim Jingcheng knew the Korean entertainment industry very well in his previous life, in reality, he still needs to continue to learn so that his career in Korean entertainment can be further guaranteed.

He is preparing because he has decided that he will officially enter the Korean entertainment industry soon.

Time is endless!

What's more, Jin has been waiting for this day for too long!

Suddenly, there was a knocking sound in my ears, and a very rhythmic knocking sound. From this rhythm, Kim Jong-sung could tell that the person was Kim Jong-kook.

It's funny to say that Kim Jong Kook, a muscular man, often has gentle details in his life. As for knocking on the door, his strength is clearly strong, but the sound of knocking is very soft.

After Kim Jong-sung opened the door, Kim Jong-kook said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't disturb you so late, right?"

Jin Jingcheng smiled and shook his head, asking curiously: "Didn't you go to record "X-Man" tonight?"

Kim Jong Kook said: "It's been recorded, and today's recording is relatively smooth, so it's faster."

Kim Jong-sung asked with a smile: “Did you match Miss Yoon Eun Hye again this time?”

Before this, Kim Jong Kook had recorded "X-Man" twice, the 14th and 15th episodes respectively. In the selection of couples, they were both paired with Yoon Eun Hye.

Kim Jong Kook's face suddenly turned red.

Kim Jingcheng was secretly funny. He knew that the rumored relationship between these two people would extend to eleven years later, and at the same time he was a little confused. He felt that if Kim Jong Kook and Yoon Eun Hye, the most classic couple in the history of Korean variety shows, would inevitably be a pity, and it would also make many fans who have been pursuing them for ten years feel sorry.

Seeing that Kim Jong Kook was silent, Kim Jong Sung didn't joke anymore and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Brother Jong Kook looking for me?"

Kim Jong Kook then reacted, patted his head, and said, "I almost forgot. Let's go and have a dinner party with a few friends to have a midnight snack in the evening. I happened to introduce them to you. They are all from the entertainment industry, and maybe they can help you in the future."

Jin Jingcheng subconsciously said: "You are so strict with your diet. You have to fast for a few hours before going to bed at night, let alone eat midnight snacks. You rarely attend company parties at night. What's wrong with tonight?"

Kim Jong Kook said: "Tonight is different, a few are my best friends."

Hearing this, Jin Jingcheng had already thought of something.

"Is it them?"

While thinking to himself, Kim Jong-kook walked into the night with Kim Jong-kook.

Half an hour later, the two of them came to a barbecue restaurant and walked into a private room on the second floor. During the process, Kim Jong Kook covered his face with a hat, and did not want to be discovered by the guests on the first floor to avoid unnecessary harassment. Now his career has been regained, and "A Man" is singing in the streets and alleys.

In fact, when the two walked into the barbecue restaurant, the audio in the store was playing "A Man".

On a quiet night, the delicious meat fragrance, the intimate couple, accompanied by the delicate and profound "A Man", eating barbecue and drinking Korean soju while talking about love, it really makes a unique feeling in my heart.

As soon as he walked into the private room and looked at the few people inside, Kim Jong-sung suddenly realized that his previous speculation was right. No wonder Kim Jong-kook was in a hurry to run out for a midnight snack.

The members of the Year of the Dragon Club were gathered tonight.

...

The entertainment industry is often very cruel.

This is especially true in the Korean entertainment industry, because there are fewer meat and more wolves, and the fierce competition in survival.

Therefore, there are not many real friends in the Korean entertainment industry. Don’t watch some people behave very friendly on TV, maybe when recording a program, they will glar at each other at the right time of the camera. Even some group groups that have practiced their debut together often part ways due to various interest relationships later, and even become enemies.

Fortunately, everything is often not absolute, and unexpected situations always occur.

Fortunately, no matter how cruel the society is, there will be some beautiful flowers of friendship blooming.

The Year of the Dragon Club is a very famous friendship group in the Korean entertainment industry. When some famous programs mention the topic of friendship, they often cannot avoid this group.

Even so, the Year of the Dragon Club has also encountered setbacks and damaged friendships.

The so-called Year of the Dragon Club is a small group formed by several men born in 1976 in the Korean entertainment industry. Because 1976 is the Year of the Dragon, these people belong to the dragon, so they are called the Year of the Dragon Club.

The original members of the Year of Dragon Club were Cha Tae Hyun, Kim Jong Kook, Jang Hyuk, Hong Kyung Min, Hong Kyung In, Cho Chengmo, and Yoo Seung-jun. The core members were Cha Tae Hyun, Kim Jong Kook and Jang Hyuk.

In 2002, Liu Chengjun had a military service incident that shocked South Korea and has since withdrawn from the Year of the Dragon Club.

Some male celebrities in the Korean entertainment industry try every means to avoid South Korea's military service policy, and their fate is often very miserable, among which Liu Chengjun was the most typical in 2002.

At that time, Liu Chengjun was a very popular rapper in South Korea. Because he did not want to serve in the military, he was willing to evade military service at the cost of giving up his Korean nationality and applying for a US green card, which caused anger among the whole country. The South Korean government even issued a "ban order" for this, completely expelling Liu Chengjun from the country, and from then on he will not be allowed to enter the South Korean border again.

Although this incident is related to Liu Chengjun's personal patriotic literacy, there are other factors.

The year Liu Chengjun served in the military happened to be in 2002 after 9/11 in the United States, when the United States tightened its immigration policy for foreigners. Liu Chengjun's parents and his wife were both Korean-American, so no matter whether he wanted to serve in the military or not, he had to apply for a green card, otherwise he would be separated from his wife.

In addition, at that time, Liu Chengjun's economic company contract required him to publish two records a year, otherwise he would have to pay a penalty for liquidated damages.

Immigration policy, pressure from parents, wife and agency, and Liu Chengjun's lack of clear understanding of South Korean military service, all kinds of factors combined have led to his military service incident.

Since then, Liu Chengjun has never been able to enter South Korea, so in 2015, Liu Chengjun was helpless and apologized to South Korea in a live broadcast program in Hong Kong, but was still criticized and even insulted by the Korean people. This shows the serious impact of this incident and the potential indifference of the Korean public.

After the Liu Chengjun military service incident, the two members of the Dragon Year Club had different attitudes. One was Kim Jong Kook, and Kim Jong Kook firmly continued to regard Liu Chengjun as a friend, believing that even if the brother made a mistake, the brother was a brother, and the other was Cao Chengmo. Cao Chengmo opposed this and even publicly stated that he drew a clear line with Liu Chengjun.

Regarding this matter, we cannot say who is right or wrong, it is just because of our personal character. Kim Jong Kook is very loyal and does not give up his brothers easily. Cao Chengmo is also a person who values ​​friendship very much. He is very gentle and kind. He thinks that Liu Chengjun did something wrong in this matter. Since he did it wrong, it is natural to choose a way to protect himself.

In the end, Cha Tae Hyun, Jang Hyuk, Hong Kyung-min and others who stood in a neutral position chose to stand on Kim Jong-kook's side, and Cho Chengmo withdrew from the Dragon Year Club.

From then on, the stable members of the Dragon Year Club became Cha Tae Hyun, Kim Jong Kook, Jang Hyuk, Hong Kyung Min and Hong Kyung In.

And tonight, when Kim Jong-sung walked into the private room, he suddenly found that four people except Kim Jong-kook were present.
