Chapter 583: Not Going to Hold in That Anger!

In the video, Hyun-Min Kim twisted his butt and twerked it with his atrophied waist. His bottom faced the sky briefly, then faced the ground again. What kind of a joke was that dance? Was he a mechanical rodeo horse? It was blinding to have that kind of show appearing at the Spring Festival Gala!

How could such a monstrosity from a foreign country become so popular?

If that kind of cultural integration was continued to be allowed, China would certainly be the domain of young ‘fresh meat’.

Ye Lingchen thought that the guy was going to be a super character, but he hardly expected the person to be such a joke.

At that moment, Ye Lingchen was completely exasperated.

“Youxi, you should go back first. I’m going to pay the Spring Festival Gala a visit,” Ye Lingchen said suddenly.

Although he had received an invitation to the show, it seldom crossed his mind that he would want to attend the event. In his mind, it was more important to accompany his loved ones and watch the gala, but he did not expect this unpredictable turn of events.

How could he watch that kind of Spring Festival Gala?

Zhang Yunxi pursed her mouth and uttered softly, “Mmm.”

...

At the same time, the incident had caused a resounding stir on the internet.

The Spring Festival Gala was the focus of everyone’s attention. Such sudden change was like a bomb, causing all major websites like Weibo, TikTok, Toutiao, and Tieba to explode.

[F*ck! Hyun-Min Kim is here!]

[Ah ah ah, I can finally watch my Prince Charming performing at the Spring Festival Gala. This New Year is going to be blessed.]

[Oppa, I love you! XOXO...]

[This is a huge surprise. The Spring Festival Gala keeps good pace with the times. Who would want to watch any shows if there aren’t any foreigners?]

Praises were the first to be heard.

Soon, however, countless cursing began to pour in.

[F*ck! Why did they have to invite someone from the Stick Nation?!]

[How can we watch the Spring Festival Gala anymore? It has changed completely!]

[The director really thinks too highly of himself. What kind of an argument is ‘cultural fusion’? This sissy is coming to our country to take our money! Is there something wrong with the director’s brain?!]

[My New Year’s mood is instantly ruined. Stupid director!]

[Why the hell must they invite a sissy? I remember all those who were invited in the past few years were positive representatives! The difference is just too big!]

[Little Yan’s song had been unloaded?! The director’s head is full of shit!]

[Singer Y’s songs are definitely the classic among classics, and I was greatly looking forward to it. Why is it gone all of a sudden? Come the f*ck out and explain yourself, director!]

[F*ck, how many people have fond memories of Guo Dongshan? His sketches are the ones that my parents are most excited to watch, and now you’re telling me it’s been replaced by a Stick Nation performer? Do you think my parents will understand it?]

[Upstairs, don’t let your parents watch the Spring Festival Gala. Their worldview will crumble when they see some bullsh*t Stick Nation dance.]

The masses reacted fiercely, and a scolding war quickly started on the internet.

In the face of that situation, the Spring Festival Gala’s program team began sending Weibo responses, [We’ve just only managed to communicate with the entertainment company from the Stick Nation. The incident happened so suddenly that we can only convey our apologies. We must have the courage to make breakthroughs, to be brave, and create a special Spring Festival Gala. Guo Dongshan’s sketch is really wonderful, but he’s been to the Spring Festival Gala many times and we should give the newcomer a chance. Moreover, Dongshan Sensei is old, and we want him to rest well too. As for Chen Xiaoyan, there are already many slots allocated for songs on the show. Considering that she’s a pop singer, she isn’t too suitable for the Spring Festival Gala.]

In an instant, countless people began cursing.

[What kind of sh*t is this? Stinks to high heavens!]

[Let Guo Dongshan Sensei rest? Then don’t invite him to begin with! He’s already practiced his performance several times! BAH!]

[I agree with giving the newcomer a chance, but not for this kind of Stick Nation sissy! Disgusting!]

[This is called a breakthrough? More like breaking through the bottom line!]

[Sorry to butt in, but after watching everyone discussing so enthusiastically, I want to ask whether this Hyun-Min Kim is a guy or a girl? I really can’t tell.]

[Did they say that Chen Xiaoyan isn’t suitable for the Spring Festival Gala? Do you know how popular her songs are? Most importantly, it’s a creation by Singer Y!]

[Singer Y has been suppressed by this joke of a Stick Nation performer. Where did the stupid director come from?]

Suddenly, Guo Dongshan Sensei also posted a status. [I like crosstalk very much, and I truly enjoy bringing joy to everyone. The Spring Festival Gala itself is a stage for happiness and I feel sad to leave it, but I’m already old. Time flies and I’ve already participated in the Spring Festival Gala thirteen times. The stage should be reserved for young people. I do want to continue performing for everyone, but unfortunately...]

[Thirteen Spring Festival Galas, each of which brought so much joy to our family.]

[Sob, sob, sob! Dongshan Sensei isn’t old at all. We all still love you.]

[Dongshan Sensei, I grew up watching your sketches.]

[My eyes are sour after seeing Dongshan Sensei like this. The program crew is really inhuman.]

Everyone could not help but feel bitter. Guo Dongshan could be considered a comedian who occupied a place in the hearts of men, women, and children. He was the few old superstars who gave everyone a memory.

The public knew that the program team’s statement was nothing more than an excuse. The reason for axing Chen Xiaoyan and Guo Dongshan was because Chen Xiaoyan—a newcomer on the Spring Festival Gala—was easy to bully, while Guo Dongshan was a veteran at the Spring Festival Gala whom they asked to retire and make way for the newcomer. It was easy to just cook up an excuse.

Newcomers and old people were undoubtedly the two groups that made for easy targets.

It was difficult for Chen Xiaoyan to finally be able to take such a stage. She had meticulously prepared for the rehearsal and was excited as well as anxious. She hated not being able to use her sleep time to squeeze in some practice, but all she received in exchange was a terrible ending. Be it herself or her fans, it was a great blow that would almost certainly shatter them. As for Guo Dongshan, he would basically have to retire after the entire fiasco. However, the person who replaced him was a sissy from the Stick Nation.

They could not bear it, nor could the audience bear it!

[I’m not watching! What’s the point of this Spring Festival Gala?]

[Let’s all boycott it. Doesn’t this director want to be different? Just let the ratings of this Spring Festival Gala hit the lowest record!]

[My parents even said that they wouldn’t watch it. They’ve already invited people over for a game of Mahjong.]

Hyun-Min Kim had a lot of diehard fans who soon began joining in.

[F*ck off if you don’t want to watch. Nobody asked you to watch right?]

[Our Hyun-Min Kim is the best. We’ll watch it ourselves.]

[If Chen Xiaoyan and Guo Dongshan have been replaced, then so be it. Why all the hoo-ha? We’re lucky that they’re replaced with Hyun-Min Kim!]

[Yeah, a show with Hyun-Min Kim is a good show.]

[Hyun-Min Kim is too awesome! Ah, ah, ah, I love you!]

Thus, a scolding war broke out again.

Fans of Chen Xiaoyan, Singer Y, and Guo Dongshan had a spat with Kim Hyunmin’s fans.

In addition, patriotic fans began to join in as well. They supported China’s stars unconditionally and despised stars from the Stick Nation like Hyun-Min Kim. They could not resist cursing at Hyun-Min Kim to the point where his mother would not recognize him.

[What the hell? This group of people doesn’t even know who their parents are, do they?]

[Get the hell of here. Don’t embarrass yourselves!]

[It is hard to imagine that there are so many mentally-disabled people in our country. Have all of you taken the wrong meds?]

[When you act like this, do you ever think about how your parents feel?]

[This is China’s Spring Festival Gala and it has nothing to do with the Stick Nation’s stars. I invite Hyun-Min Kim to stay as far away as possible and stop tarnishing our soil!]

[In any case, I’ll definitely support my country’s stars. This is basic dignity!]

A war of words erupted from all sides!

There were battles all over Weibo, TikTok, and Tieba. Furthermore, the situation was getting even worse.

The internet had turned into a complete mess!

Some stars spoke up and questioned the Spring Festival Gala’s program team.

Their actions at that point were really disheartening. Guo Dongshan was a senior in the entertainment circle and helped many younger generations. He was very popular, so there was no doubt that people would stand up and throw their support behind him.

Ye Lingchen was silent. He did not publish any microblog or opinions and switched off the television as if nothing happened. First things first, he had to send Zhang Yunxi to the airport.

Scolding such a program team would prove useless.

It was gearing up to be a wonderful New Year’s Eve, and he was initially thrilled to go home for a reunion with his parents. Little did he expect to face something so disgusting.

Ye Lingchen was not going to swallow back his anger in that respect!
