Chapter 94: It's already here, it's a shame not to win the gold medal
Sana Minatozaki never expected to meet Kang Do-hwan at "Idol Athletics Championships".
So I asked my doubts without thinking.
This call of "Do Hwan" also successfully attracted the attention of other members of Twice.
They also didn't expect Jiang Zhaohuan to be in the queue. Could it be that he came to participate in the recording of the show?
Lin Nayeon couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. It seemed that President Nim really liked Kang Do Hwan and was determined to make him famous.
After all, people have always said that JYP cannot produce a second Rain.
Kang Do-hwan didn't know much about "Idol Sports Games" before. He thought it was a competition between idol groups, but he didn't expect there was also a team system.
He smiled and looked at everyone in Twice, then looked at Minatozaki Sana and explained:
"It was the president who pulled me over from the crew to do hard labor. To be honest, I just learned the wrestling technique ten minutes ago."
“So Dohwan, are you playing for GOT7?”
Minatozaki Sana asked with some curiosity.
Jackson Wang really wants Kang Do Hwan to join GOT7, which would help the group’s popularity reach a new level.
Of course, it was just a thought, but it didn't stop him from making a joke:
"Yes, Dohwan is our new one-day member of GOT7 today. How about it, do you want me to teach you to dance to "Confession Song"?"
"No need, brother. I really have no interest in dancing."
Amid the casual chatter of several people, Jiang Zhaohuan also noticed that Zhou Ziyu was standing quietly at the back of the team.
Obviously, the events of the past few days still had a great impact on her.
At least when there are a lot of people around, he becomes quiet and serious.
He was originally a very lively child, but has become like this.
Jiang Zhaohuan wanted to go up and say a few words, but the staff of MBC TV station appeared at this time and reminded them to prepare to enter.
Seeing that now was not the right time, he had to withdraw his caring gaze.
This time, the people holding up signs at the entrance of the "Idol Sports Games" were not idols, but fan representatives.
The team that Kang Do Hwan is in is called the "Final Winning Group", and its fan representatives are BTS's fans ARMY.
You can tell with the naked eye how nervous this female fan is, as if she is here to take the college entrance examination.
His expression was so stiff that he couldn't even muster a smile.
Even when entering the venue, he almost tripped over his own disordered steps.
Kang Do-hwan, who was in the GOT7 team, was also a little nervous.
After all, he didn't have any fans of his own present, and he didn't know whether the fans there could accept an actor participating in the "Idol Sports Games".
However, what surprised Jiang Zhaohuan a little was that the commentary desk actually introduced him specially.
The cheers from the audience also surprised him.
Wang Jiaer was the most lively person ever, acting like a policeman arresting a criminal and taking Jiang Zhaohuan away.
The only problem was that he was a little short in height, so in order to make his movements look less strange, he had to stand on tiptoes as best he could.
Confused, Kang Do-hwan could only smile bitterly. He also felt that he was carried onto this show by President Park Jin-young.
So much so that when fans at the scene saw this scene, they couldn't help but take out their cameras to take pictures.
The moment the picture was circulated, Hua Xia’s fans photoshopped four words on it: arrested on the spot.
After more than 300 male and female idols gathered at the Goyang City Gymnasium, it was time for the classic segment where the contestants took the oath.
The temperature in Goyang City in early January is still very low.
Even though the heating was on in the venue, it was still not very warm.
Jiang Zhaohuan, who was wearing thin sportswear, shrank his neck. His hands were now cold.
Seeing Wang Jiaer’s exposed neck in front of me, I really want to put my hands on it to warm it up.
But as an adult, he would naturally not do such things, which only a beginner would do.
I just think about it in my head, that's all.
Jiang Zhaohuan stood at the end of the team with nothing to do.
Thinking of what Lin Jae Fan mentioned to him in the lounge, his eyes couldn't help but wander to those male and female idols.
[Dou Hwan, you must not know that the nickname of "Idol Sports Festival" is the idol blind date party, and many male and female idols secretly fall in love here. ]
Will there be a blind date for idols?
Jiang Zhaohuan half-closed his eyes and looked at the excited fans in the stands around him. To be honest, he didn't quite understand the idol couple exchanging glances under the eyes of the fans. Rather than describing it as "courageous", it would be better to say... it was quite disrespectful to the fans.
After all, the fans who come here to cheer are here to cheer for their favorite idols.
Who would be willing to sit in a place like this for fifteen hours if they didn't like it enough?
During the subsequent opening ceremony concert, BTOB was seen entering the venue hand in hand with several fan representatives.
Jiang Zhaohuan could feel how envious the other fans who were screaming in the audience were.
"Well, now the Idol Athletics Men's Wrestling Tournament has officially begun. Let me introduce today's contestants to you in a very special way."
Listening to the guest commentator's words, Kang Do-hwan put on the wrestling leg ropes upon the staff's notice.
He was glad that this kind of competition was not formal, otherwise he would have to go shirtless and wear sports shorts.
Just thinking about that scene doesn’t seem very pretty.
As teacher Li Ailan's singing ended, the first match of the men's wrestling tournament officially began - the match between BTS and BTOB.
After choosing a seat, Jiang Zhaohuan sat down on the ground and prepared to watch the game.
When he saw how hard Jungkook was working, he couldn't help but sigh, "It's great to be young."
But she chose to forget the fact that she was only one month older than him.
The game naturally ended with BTS’ victory, and the next to go on stage were GOT7 and TeenTop.
To be honest, Jiang Zhaohuan really wanted to give up.
But no matter what, President Park Jin-young is looking forward to his performance and he must win the group stage.
So when it was his turn to take the lead, he easily took advantage of the height difference.
He put all his strength on his opponent and easily won the first game.
After the morale was successfully boosted, even though Kim Yu-gyeom lost later, Lim Jae-fan still won the final game and successfully advanced to the semi-finals with a score of 2 to 1.
In the next two matches, Jiang Zhaohuan did not sit there in a daze, but observed the techniques that his opponent liked to use.
In the absence of experience, you have to use your brain to win.
After a short break, Kang Do-hwan returned to the wrestling stage.
He looked at Jeon Jungkook who was fighting against him, and both of them had a strong desire to win in their eyes.
Sure enough, standing in this place and listening to the fans cheering, I can't help but work hard.
When the referee's whistle sounded, Kang Do-hwan grabbed the leg rope on Jeon Jungkook's right leg tightly.
When he saw him attacking his right leg with both hands, he immediately stretched out his right foot and hooked his leg in counterattack.
Seeing this, Jeon Jungkook quickly grabbed his hands to the sides, used the leg rope to stabilize his center of gravity, and tried to find a breakthrough again.
But Jiang Zhaohuan didn't give his opponent any chance to think. His height and strength advantages were his best weapons at the moment.
At the moment of extending the left leg to feint, the left hand holding the leg rope exerts force suddenly.
Tian Jungkook never thought that there would be a day when he would soar into the sky.
The back throw used in the preliminaries was actually perfectly replicated by Kang Do-hwan.
When your back first touches the sponge pad, you know you have lost.
The guest commentator Xu Yiyu's tone gradually became excited.
He didn't expect the showdown between idols to be so interesting. He clenched his hands into fists:
"Using the power of his waist to make the opponent's right leg lose its center of gravity, he overwhelmed the opponent with decisive force! Kang Do-hwan is really a dark horse. I heard that he just started training this morning!"
Kang Do-hwan pulled Jeon Jungkook up from the sponge mat with a smile, and as they hugged each other, the screams from the stands became more intense.
This left both of them confused.
It's just a hug, what's the problem?
The straight-man Kang Do Hwan reached out and gave Lim Jae Bum a fist bump.
After passing on good luck, GOT7 also won the next game, which means they advanced to the finals.
Jiang Zhaohuan, who was sitting on the ground, took the mineral water handed to him by Wang Jiaer. He drank it while emptying his mind.
I'm obviously just here to take the blame, why am I working so hard?
Forget it, I'll just continue observing my opponent in the finals.
Anyway, it's already the end of the competition, it would be a shame not to win a gold medal.
