Chapter 1510 - 598: BlackPink Concert
Chapter 1510: Chapter 598: BlackPink Concert
After agreeing to have dinner with Wang Qiaobin the next day, Zhou Wang left the Imperial Castle Hotel.
The night on Ao Island was noticeably more lively than the day. The salty sea breeze gently brushed against the neon lights, and various lights from towering buildings intertwined over the bustling city, weaving dreams painted with money and desire amidst the blur.
Normally, after a long afternoon, Zhou Wang would simply want to sleep, but perhaps due to the influence of the "side effect halo," he found himself still quite energetic.
However, the various muddled desires in his heart were no longer as intense as before.
"Indeed, diversion is better than blockage... The ancients didn’t deceive me."
Zhou Wang let out a long sigh, feeling much lighter.
He returned to Galaxy Resort City in a business car equipped with special riot-proof glass. Just like the whole of Ao Island, the night here was also more bustling, with twice or even three times the number of people compared to the daytime.
There were many missed calls on his phone, mostly from the three girls including Su Yajing. Qiu Zeyu probably learned from Li Youlong that Zhou Wang was out "messing around," so he didn’t contact him. Most of the unread messages were from Cui Min’er.
Zhou Wang clicked to view them one by one; Cui Min’er had sent several long messages — explaining why she acted out and apologizing, expressing her desire to talk face-to-face...
Later, perhaps seeing Zhou Wang’s delayed response, she also mentioned that she didn’t mean to disturb him and asked him not to be upset.
Behind those lengthy texts seemed to lurk a cautious sense of "humble" demeanor.
In normal circumstances, Zhou Wang would feel somewhat guilty and his replies would likely include comforting and self-reflective words, but at the moment, he simply smiled and typed:
"So, how do you plan to demonstrate your apology and sincerity?"
Ding-dong!
"Do... do you have any requests?"
The response was almost instant, indicating that Cui Min’er was probably holding her phone the whole time.
"Cui Min’er, I want your most precious thing."
"...What?"
"You know what I’m talking about."
Zhou Wang sent a meaningful reply, causing Cui Min’er to fall silent.
Hah, those lowly Korean women, my patience is limited. If you know what’s good for you, clean yourself up and bend over... No, no, can’t get carried away.
Zhou Wang rubbed his brow, suppressing the evil scenes that surfaced in his mind while pocketing his phone.
He realized the halo’s influence was still growing; this wasn’t a good time to interact with close ones.
"Xiao Wang..."
Zhou Wang snapped his fingers. He originally wanted Xiao Wang to check for any boxing gyms nearby, but just then, with a burst of commotion, several young people squeezed past, making Zhou Wang stumble.
Unable to hold back his urge to kick them, Zhou Wang turned to look and saw many young men and women nearby, holding various light boards and support sticks, excitedly gathering in one direction.
Curious, Zhou Wang waved to Xiao Wang and followed along.
The crowd was heading towards the International Variety Hall in Galaxy Resort City. Though it seemed like just an annex building within the resort city, the Galaxy International Variety Hall was actually a large world-class venue, often hosting concerts by world superstars, major sports events, and award ceremonies.
Arriving near the venue, Zhou Wang looked up and saw a flashing giant LED screen. On the screen, the group promotional photo of four stylishly dressed, sexy yet individually characteristic girls was continuously rotating—
"BlackPink?"
Upon seeing the promotional photo of the four girls, Zhou Wang was immediately enlightened.
No wonder the surrounding youths were so frenzied.
This girl’s group was one of the most representative and influential female groups in today’s global pop music scene... BlackPink from Korea.
Regarding BlackPink, most people, even if not their fans, have likely heard their name.
Though Zhou Wang looked down on various aspects of Korea, he had to admit their sharpness and experience in "creating idols" surpassed most other countries.
Up to now, BlackPink has the highest-subscribed music channel on YTB, with multiple MVs exceeding one billion and even two billion views, being the most popular Korean female artists on many global mainstream media platforms.
Their commercial operations were also highly successful, being dubbed "human Barbie" and "human Chanel"... besides the carefully crafted nicknames, they were truly global ambassadors for numerous top luxury brands like Chanel, Celine, Dior, and Saint Laurent.
A girl group from a small nation able to become a globally influential cultural icon indeed had loads of talent.
Strictly speaking, Zhou Wang wasn’t their fan, but many of his friends and classmates were avid fans, so he inadvertently learned quite a bit about them.
Staring at those promotional photos, Zhou Wang recalled what Qiu Zeyu mentioned earlier about BlackPink touring Ao Island these days, instantly understanding.
He pulled out his phone again and quickly found the insider ticket Qiu Zeyu sent him earlier, then handed the phone to Xiao Wang.
Come to think of it, Zhou Wang probably has never seriously watched a concert before.
