Chapter 231: Do You Have A Conscience?
The scheduled film location was to be at a studio near Songjiang film city. Since they had signed with a movie city, the equipment was complete, and everything was accessible, regardless if they were filming a MV or doing post-production work.
When Meng Fan and sister Sun arrived, there was a small crowd of people outside the studio. It comprised mostly of girls and all of them holding excessive glow sticks and signs.
“They aren’t here for Shan Jin bro are they…”
“Uhm, it should be for a Korean actor.”
“I thought they banned that? Is it resolved?”
“Actually, there wasn’t an official ban or no ban. They just have a tacit understanding from top to bottom. But it’s been much looser lately, and we’ve seen many more Korean stars in the mainland. But they don’t promote the events they attend, and actors are even more strictly regulated. Even if the ban has been lifted, it’s different now. In the last two years, the domestic trainee program that follows the system of elimination has expanded rapidly, and even managed to push out several groups to debut. Plus, due to the existing high-quality idols, it’s very unlikely that the K-pop trend will return to the mainland.”
“I see. But it seems like this guy’s pretty popular.”
“That makes sense. Our idols haven’t had much time to develop, so their performing abilities and endurance are still being tested, and the operating capabilities of their management companies are also lacking. Therefore, the circle of K-pop fans is still very significant. Habitually comparing, the rate of transitioning fans is not high. Only a few of them would turn their support to stars from other countries. Hence, if they were to completely ban it, everything would really be up in the air. At least, it would be a big test for domestic companies with idol groups. Su Qing Cen’s company actually has an idol group of their own…”
The two chatted as they circled around the fans to enter the front gate.
Suddenly, sister Sun saw Meng Fan crease his brows and curiously looked towards him. But she wasn’t as tall as Meng Fan, and from behind the crowd, she couldn’t see a thing.
Following this, sister Sun noticed that the fan circle had become rather disturbed. She followed the group of fans as they backed up like a tide, which broadened her vision. She saw a girl holding her head lying on the ground, while two burly looking men who appeared to be bodyguards were kicking and punching her.
The K-pop idol’s bodyguards were beating her up!
Sister Sun’s attitude changed immediately. It’s been so long since something like this happened on the news, and right in front of her eyes too.
After her field of vision widened, the two bodyguards also stopped. They scolded her a few incomprehensible words and menacingly looked at the other people present. They turned and headed towards the K-pop star.
The spectating fans were all shocked. They couldn’t believe such a thing had just happened in front of their eyes.
“Why did you have to hit her?!”
“Yeah, why do you think you can just hit people?!”
“Didn’t you see this dumbass trying to pull at Park Jae Hye?”
“Which fan group is she from, I already said to stay in order!”
“Look what you did, Park Jae Hye is angry now!”
“Yeah, it’s not often Park Jae Hye comes to visit, she deserved to be hit!”
“She’s definitely a fake fan!”
“Send out a notification, the fans present are restricted from posting videos and photographs and must undergo review before they can be uploaded. You cannot bring any negative comments to Park Jae Hye!”
The fan group sounded in protest. Although some were upset with the violence, a lot of the fans present were from an organized fan club, so their voices were suppressed very quickly.
At this time, the fans saw a shadow brush by them, charging at the bodyguards with both arms open. He passed the bodyguards with deadly speed.
Thump-thump.
This guy was tall and had his arms raised just behind the neck of the bodyguards. His arms were like two rods protruding from a tank, slamming the bodyguards directly into the ground making a soft thumping sound.
If you added a ring rope to this scene, it would be a re-enactment of American style wrestling.
All of this happened even faster and more unexpected than when the bodyguards had beat up the fan. It was even more unbelievable too.
“Meng Fan?!” Sister Sun was stunned.
