Chapter 102: Korea's Popularity
Jessica's arrival immediately made Yang Mo's slightly sad mood become cheerful. Now Yang Mo didn't know if it was because of the hexagram, but he felt like something was missing without a woman.
But soon Yang Mo became a little angry again, because before he had time to chat with Jessica, Girls' Generation's manager Lee Jin-joo ran in with a large group of Korean reporters, and it felt like they were entering their own home.
Yang Mo suppressed her anger and asked the reason. Li Zhenzhu actually wanted to use Yang Mo's injury to hype up their steadfast love.
Since Yang Mo and Jessica became a fake couple last time, Girls' Generation has become a hit, and Jessica has become even more popular because of her behavior on the court. Now that Yang Mo is injured, Li Zhenzhu immediately thought of this idea, and without discussing it with Yang Mo, she directly brought an entertainment reporter from SBS from Korea to conduct an exclusive interview.
After hearing this reason, Yang Mo was very angry and quickly pulled Jessica into the room and asked her what was going on and why she was hyping up such a thing.
When Jessica saw Yang Mo was angry, she burst into tears and said aggrievedly: "Oppa, this is the company's arrangement, and I can't stop it. I have been wanting to call you, but your phone is always unreachable, and I am very anxious. I wanted to ask for leave from the company, but the company didn't allow it. Later, they proposed this plan. I was anxious to see you, so I had to bring them along."
Once Jessica started crying, Yang Mo was helpless. He had never been able to resist women's tears, and he also knew that Korean entertainment companies were famous for being harsh, so newcomers had no right to autonomy.
"Okay, stop crying." Yang Mo patted her shoulder and compromised helplessly: "Okay, I'll do this interview so that you won't be embarrassed in the company. When your contract expires, you'd better not renew it with this company. It's too disrespectful to the artist. How can you hype it up like this?"
After Yang Mo said this, Jessica cried even harder. She hugged Yang Mo's waist and sobbed, "OPPA, you are so kind. You still think about me at this time."
"Okay, stop crying. Wipe your tears and wash your face. We're going out for the interview. Be sweet and don't cry. People will think I'm bullying you." Yang Mo pulled her to the bathroom next to her and let her wash up.
Then he took her to the hall.
After arriving at the lobby, they found that the reporters were gone, and asked Li Zhenzhu. Li Zhenzhu said that the reporters thought the villa was very luxurious and wanted to take more photos as exterior scenes. Yang Mo did not stop them and let them take photos.
This villa is certainly inferior to the mansions of superstars, but compared to ordinary people, especially Koreans, it is undoubtedly a paradise. Although South Korea's per capita GDP seems high, the domestic prices are frighteningly high. Everything has to be imported, and eating a beef meal can be like celebrating the New Year. In addition, there are many people and little land, so the living area of each person is very small. Compared with their proud ancient palace, the Blue House, it is at the level of an ancient Chinese county government.
Yang Mo's villa covers an area of nearly two thousand feet and has a swimming pool, back garden, large lawn, billiard room, indoor arena, and indoor cinema.
Of course, these Korean reporters were dazzled and kept taking pictures. It took them more than an hour to finish filming.
After a long shoot on location, we finally set up the camera and adjusted the equipment for a formal TV interview.
A pretty Korean host spoke a lot of Korean to the camera, then turned sideways and faced Yang Mo and Jessica. She first greeted Yang Mo in English, and Yang Mo smiled and returned the greeting, then said "Anias oil" in Korean.
A casual greeting made the host seem very excited, just like Korean stars on Happy Camp. I don’t know why those brainless hosts can still act so fake high even at their age!
"Mr. Yang Mo, do you know that you are very popular in Korea now? Everyone calls you the national son-in-law, and many girls who didn't pay attention to basketball before have fallen in love with it. They all think you are very handsome and manly. Before leaving, we ranked the sexiest men in the world, and you are now No. 1, higher than David Beckham!" The host's opening remarks were somewhat flattering, but they were basically true. Although Yang Mo is not well-known in Korea now, his popularity is higher than that of ordinary super idols.
"Oh, thank you all for your support. I will continue to work hard." Yang Mo smiled and said sincerely.
"This time, you were injured, and all Koreans felt sorry for you. Many people even took to the streets to protest against the despicable behavior of that bad player. Now Korean friends are concerned about your injury. Do you feel better?"
"Oh, I'm almost well now. I'll be able to continue training in two days. Thanks to my Korean friends for their support. Next time I meet that guy, I will definitely teach him a lesson using basketball."
"Wow, so manly!" The host couldn't help getting excited when she heard Yang Mo's words. Yang Mo didn't know what she was obsessed with. Then, she said, "So, are you this manly in real life too?"
"Manly? So manly?" Yang Mo frowned. He was a little slow to react. At this time, Jessica beside him quickly explained gently: "OPPA is very gentle in life. He treats me very well and cares about me and loves me in every detail. He is not as strong as he is on the court at all."
"Wow! He is strong and cruel to his opponents, but gentle and considerate to his girlfriend. What a loving man, he is simply the hero who walked out of a comic book!" The female host was excited again. This time, Jessica was a little stunned. What happened to this host today?
Jessica didn’t know what was wrong with the female host, but after becoming infatuated, the female host asked Jessica: “Jessica, do you like this kind of strong yet gentle man?”
"I like it." Jessica nodded, but she was muttering in her heart, isn't this nonsense? How can I be with OPPA if I don't like him?
"Oh, Jessica, your profile shows that you are an Aries. So Yang Mo is..."
"Leo." Yang Mo took the initiative to tell the infatuated female host.
"Oh my god!" The crazy female host was immediately excited when she heard the word Leo. She slapped her thigh and shouted, "What a perfect match! Leo and Aries are the most compatible zodiac signs..."
Seeing her like this, Yang Mo was really troubled. Is this host Ma Jingtao's sister? She is just like a roaring emperor. Is there anyone who likes this hosting style?
The rest of the visit was still full of surprises. After about an hour, it finally ended.
After the interview, the SBS reporters left first. After spending an afternoon with Yang Mo, Jessica was also taken away by her agent, Lee Jin-joo, because she had many announcements. Although Jessica didn't want to leave, she had no choice but to fulfill her work obligations because of her contract. Yang Mo really wanted to say to Lee Jin-joo, "Fuck your mother," but when she saw her face, she thought her mother must not be in a good condition either, so she could only sulk in her stomach. What's going on? Is this just using my hands to hype something up? Fuck!
Yang Mo thought that this terrible talk show would definitely have poor ratings, but three days later, Jessica sent him a message telling him that this episode was the SBS program with the highest ratings this year, even surpassing the New Year's Eve program "Gayo Daejeon".
This was something Yang Mo had never expected. What Yang Mo had never expected was that Yang Mo actually became extremely popular in Korea because of this interview. Many Korean girls even set up a massive fan club, and this fan club had a very clear purpose, which was to oppose Jessica and Yang Mo being together. Because of the words of the roaring female host, "the male protagonist who walked out of a comic book", they regarded Yang Mo as a prince, and the prince should belong to all women, not to a certain female star!
