Chapter 188: More Than a Decade Gap
Park Ji-jae faced the camera and greeted people enthusiastically in Chinese.

His fluent and standard pronunciation surprised many of his fans, and even some passers-by who were not very fond of him began to have a slightly better impression of him.

[This Chinese, I would believe you if you said he is a local! ]
[This guy has a good attitude. He even learned Chinese!]
[Korean artists are truly dedicated!]
Netizens in the live broadcast room were talking about it, but as soon as they finished greeting, Park Ji-jae switched the language system back to Korean.

Then, with the help of his music partner, he revealed the name of the singer he would challenge tonight.

During this process, the camera also turned to the singers in each preparation room.

Except for Huang Fei, the other groups of singers all appeared calm and composed.

——They are not afraid of Park Ji-jae’s challenge.

But Huang Fei was different. At this moment, he clasped his hands in front of him and looked quite nervous.

Before the live broadcast started, Huang Fei drew the fifth performance order. He just wanted to perform according to this order and didn't want to start the performance early.

However, perhaps the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen. Under Huang Fei's gaze, a not very standard pronunciation of "Huang Fei" came out of Park Ji-jae's mouth.

The interactive host, Xiao Shen, said loudly to the camera: "Okay, the singer that Park Ji-jae is challenging is Huang Fei, so please ask Huang Fei to get ready to go on stage~"

Hearing this, Huang Fei's mouth twitched suddenly.

Although somewhat reluctant, he still walked onto the stage aisle accompanied by his musical partner.

The live broadcast room was also filled with comments, and the audience was quite surprised by Park Ji-jae's choice:
[Park Ji-jae must have watched the recent episodes of "The Voice 2024" and knew that Huang Fei ranked last in the last episode]
[This guy really picks on the weak!]
[The rules of the ranking contest are reasonable. You can choose any singer you want!]
[Come on Huang Fei! Get rid of Xiba!]
Amid the cheers of the audience, Huang Fei came to the stage.

There was no "acceptance speech" segment. The lights dimmed, and after three heartbeat-like sound effects, the singing began directly.

Tonight, Huang Fei did not make the same mistake as last week. He performed a reggae-style English song vividly.

His performance made Park Ji-jae in the preparation room nod and applaud from time to time, and he seemed to like this style of stage very much.

[This is the Huang Fei I know!]
[Oh my god! Has Brother Fei finally gotten back to normal?!]
[It turns out that pressure brings motivation. His ranking at the bottom in the last few rounds has made him feel ashamed and then brave!]
[Go, go, go! That bastard over there is looking down on others and picking on our Huang Fei! Let him go back to where he came from!]
Huang Fei's performance tonight made many audiences feel refreshed. After the song was finished, many people at the scene stood up unconsciously and cheered and applauded for him.

Such a scene surprised Park Ji-jae in the preparation room.

This Chinese singer named Huang Fei is quite popular.

"Thank you Huang Fei for the wonderful performance!"

At the edge of the stage, host He Ling said in a loud voice: "Next, please welcome the singer who unveiled the list, Park Ji-jae!"

"Everyone welcomes you with applause!"

The audience did not hesitate to give their applause and cheers. When Park Ji-jae appeared on the stage, the cheers even got louder.

Of course, most of the cheers in this section came from female audiences.

"Oh my god, is he so handsome?"

"Such muscles, wow~ Such a handsome guy!"

"This appearance is comparable to Bai Xingjian's!"

"He looks much more muscular than Bai Xingjian!"

"Oh my god, that's my type!"

Some of the female audience members in the venue seemed to be quite crazy, as if they had discovered a new world.

And Park Ji-jae does have a good appearance.

A face with clear lines, looks resolute and confident, deep eyes full of spirit, thick eyebrows add a bit of heroic spirit, and the tall and three-dimensional nose bridge also adds a lot of three-dimensionality to his facial contour.

As for his hairstyle, Park Ji-jae mainly has medium-short hair. All the hair in front of his forehead is pushed to one side, and the ends of his hair are slightly curled, which looks refreshing and neat.

But this alone is not enough to make female audiences crazy. What makes Park Ji-jae even more attractive is his figure.

He is 1.85 meters tall, with arms that are not blocked by short sleeves. His muscle lines look smooth and powerful, and his broad shoulders give people a sense of security.

In front of the computer screen, Su Caitao's eyes lit up and she said with emotion:
“I have to say that South Korean artists are absolutely amazing at managing their body shape.”

[Sister Taotao, don’t look so bright-eyed, or my brother-in-law might get jealous!]
[What's there to be jealous about? Just take a look.]
[If I wear it, it doesn’t count, right?]
[Ah, yes, yes, yes] was banned for 1 day.

[With this body, Park Ji-jae would be more than qualified to be a male model even if he doesn’t sing! ]
[Another day of envying the chaebols]
[What is there to be envious of? I’ve played it so many times that I’ve already played it to death]
After hearing what Su Caitao said, many netizens in the live broadcast room also spoke enthusiastically.

But soon, everyone quieted down.

Park Ji-jae started singing.

The song he sang tonight is called "Call Me", and the translation given by the program team is very direct.

--Call me.

After seeing this Chinese translation, many netizens drove on this broken road.

But soon, almost everyone's attention was attracted to Park Ji-jae on the stage.

As a South Korean singer, singing and dancing are just a piece of cake for Park Ji-jae.

So, as soon as the music started, he danced to the rhythm.

The dance moves are full of tension and rhythm, extremely smooth, every step is almost precise, and every movement is precisely in tune with the accompaniment, which makes people admire it.

His singing voice is also of the magnetic and infectious type, which can easily bring the audience into the world of the song.

Although a large number of people do not understand the lyrics, this does not become a disadvantage. Instead, it allows these listeners to sway to the rhythm.

"Oh my god, why does it feel like Park Ji-jae dances better than Mars on stage?"

In the girls’ dormitory of Linjiang Normal University, Wang Peini looked at the live broadcast on the computer and couldn’t help but sigh.

"It's not that exaggerated."

Liu Yue raised her eyebrows, "I can only say that they both have their own strengths and characteristics."

"That's it."

Lai Jie smiled and nodded: "Mars' dancing style is quite sassy, ​​he takes the route of letting himself go, while Park Ji-jae is quite handsome, he takes the route of being a national idol."

"But if we talk about singing, there will be a difference in quality."

Under the gazes of Wang Pei Ni, Liu Yue and Luo Xi, Lai Jie continued, "Mars' singing skills are undoubtedly T0 level, and Park Ji Jae is a singer in the South Korean hip-hop circle, that is, a rapper. In the hip-hop circle, he is considered T0 level."

"But if Park Ji-jae is put on the international stage, he can only be considered T1 level, still a little behind Mars brother."

"Of course, when it comes to rap songs, Park Ji-jae can really kill it on the stage of "The Voice of China 2024". Even Mars Brother is slightly inferior to him. Only the previous Ma Shen can probably be on par with him." Seeing Lai Jie praising a Korean like this, Luo Xi pouted and said, "What about Bai Xingjian? Didn't Bai Xingjian also sing a lot of rap before?"

"How can I put this..."

Lai Jie hesitated for a moment, "Don't hit me if I tell you, okay?"

She looked at Wang Penny, Liu Yue and Luo Xi uncertainly.

"Why should I hit you?" Wang Peini looked a little confused.

"Why would we hit you for no reason?" Liu Yue didn't care, "Just tell me the truth."

"That's right!" Rossi nodded repeatedly.

"Ok."

Lai Jie smiled and said, "Let's put it this way. If Bai Xingjian's rap level is A, then Park Ji Jae is S."

"Ah? Is the difference so big?"

"Jiejie, are you sure?"

"No way?"

Hearing what Lai Jie said, Wang Pei Ni, Liu Yue and Luo Xi all looked surprised.

"From the rap songs that Bai Xingjian is currently singing, this is indeed the case."

Lai Jie nodded: "Of course, it is not ruled out that Bai Xingjian is planning something big. After all, he was able to come up with a popular rap song like "In the Name of the Father" a few months ago."

"it seems to be like this."

“Park Ji-jae’s rap is really amazing!”

"Why do I feel like he's more handsome than Bai Xingjian?"

"Don't tell me, I feel the same way."

Wang Pei Ni, Liu Yue and Luo Xi did not respond to what Lai Jie said, but chattered while watching the live broadcast.

Lai Jie looked back and felt that what her roommates said was quite right.

At this moment on the stage, Park Ji-jae held the microphone and started a rap verse. His speech was fast and powerful, his pronunciation was clear, and each syllable seemed to be carefully polished, producing a sonorous and powerful sound.

For rappers on stage, they not only need to show their strength through rap skills, but also be good at using body language and facial expressions to enhance the performance effect.

In this regard, Park Ji-jae can be said to be at the T0 level. His every movement and expression seems to add color to the song, and his stage performance is simply amazing.

Many viewers in the live broadcast room also praised:
[This stage presence, this dance step, this rhythm, this quick talk, it's a one-hit wonder, okay? There's nothing that can beat "The Voice 2024"! ]
[Let alone "The Voice of China 2024", is there anything that can compete in our country? ]
[Jiang Hao: I express my dissatisfaction with my real name!]
[Xu Yang: Add me!]
[Laughing to death! Compared with Park Ji-jae, these two people combined are just like onions!]
[Indeed! In the current rap circle, the only person who can compete with Park Ji-jae is probably Lengmao from Taiwan.]
[What about Bai Xingjian? ]
[Bai Xingjian is not in the rap circle, so he should just sing a little love song with Feng Shiqi]
Regarding the discussants in the barrage, one of them, a man named "Jiang Hao", was in the audience at this time, letting himself go with the live music.

Because he was wearing a mask and was in a remote location, no one recognized him.

But unfortunately, there were a few rap fans sitting next to Jiang Hao, and they were teasing him.

"Is this the difference? It feels like there is a huge gap between Jiang Hao, the champion of this year's "New Rap", and Park Ji-jae."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Our domestic rap culture started too late. There's probably a gap of more than ten years compared to South Korea."

"Huh? That's not the case, is it?"

"Of course not. In the global rap scene, South Korea is second only to America."

"Oh my god, is Korea so awesome?"

After hearing these words, Jiang Hao's whole body stiffened and he stood there in a daze.

If he hadn't been wearing a mask and the light at the scene was dim, his darkened face would definitely have been noticed by the people around him.

"That's true when it comes to rap," the audience member next to Jiang Hao continued.

As if noticing Jiang Hao's strange behavior, the audience patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, do you think what I just said was right? I saw you jumping so happily just now, you must be a fan of the rap circle, right?"

The corners of Jiang Hao's mouth twitched under his mask, but he did not deny what he said: "You are damn right!"

……

Singer's preparation room.

Bai Xingjian looked at Park Ji-jae's performance on the stage, with admiration flashing in his eyes from time to time.

Park Ji-jae's stage performance is truly amazing.

As a half-rapper, Bai Xingjian's rap level has reached a relatively high level, so he has his own criteria for judging rap.

After seeing Park Ji-jae's performance, Bai Xingjian also felt that he still had a lot of room for improvement in rap.

"Why does this guy seem to have ADHD? Can't he just stand still and sing?"

Just as Bai Xingjian was fiddling with the system panel, Feng Shiqi suddenly spoke up.

Bai Xingjian grinned when he heard this: "This is the characteristic of rappers. Wasn't it often like this when I was rapping before?"

Many rappers keep moving their bodies when they rap, and there are many reasons for this.

First, rap music itself has a strong sense of rhythm and movement. Rappers can better grasp the rhythm and synchronize with the beat of the music through body movements.

The second is to release emotions and energy. Rap ​​music is almost all about lyrics that speak directly to one's heart, which contain rich emotions and sufficient power. Rappers can release their inner emotions and energy through body movements.

This not only enhances the rapper's performance, but also allows the rapper to sing more attentively and the audience to feel the emotions conveyed in the song more intuitively.

If you tie up rappers with ropes and ask them to rap, they will definitely remain silent.

"But he's exaggerating too much." Feng Shiqi frowned. She didn't really like this type of stage that combined dance elements with rap.

"Exaggerated? I think it's pretty good."

Bai Xingjian said with a smile that he felt that the current gap between him and Park Ji-jae was in this aspect.

Park Ji-jae's dance moves when he raps are so rich, he has his own unique performance style and body language.

This gap is almost impossible to make up in a short period of time. After all, Park Ji-jae has nearly ten years of dance experience.

However, what is more important about rap is the word "rap". Once the rap level is up to par, body movements are just icing on the cake.
