Chapter 89

At the end of June, after receiving a notification from the "Two Days One Night" production team, Liu Zaitian arrived at the main entrance of the KBS TV station building.

Here, after discussions with PD Lee Myunghan and the writers, this location was chosen as the opening site for the first episode of "Two Days One Night."

Although he had arrived early as required by the production team, Liu Zaitian still found that someone had arrived even earlier.

"Hello, Brother Hu Dong!"

From a distance, when Jiang Hu Dong noticed Liu Zaitian approaching, he quickly bowed and greeted him.

Just this form of address took Liu Zaitian a long time to think about. Although they had met two years ago through Liu Zaisi's introduction and had even had dinner together recently through the production team's arrangement, there was still a certain awkwardness between them. After Liu Zaisi's introduction, although Liu Zaitian and Jiang Hu Dong had become slightly familiar, the level of familiarity was not as high as with the "Unlimited Challenge" members. This was mainly due to the words Liu Zaitian had said at the end of last year during the "Award Ceremony Special": among the people Liu Zaisi had introduced him to, Jiang Hu Dong was one of them, and among those who did not look favorably upon him, Jiang Hu Dong was also one of them. Although it was not a deliberate act, there was an inexplicable awkwardness between them.

However, such a situation is actually very easy to resolve, for example, right now...

Upon seeing Liu Zaitian approach, Jiang Hu Dong smiled and shouted in his characteristic loud voice, waving at him, "Ah! Zaitian, you're here, come over quickly."

Initially, Jiang Hu Dong's impression of Liu Zaitian was not good. Although he was as humble and friendly in his interactions as Liu Zaisi, his actions were overly arrogant, even somewhat crazy. According to Jiang Hu Dong's understanding, Liu Zaitian had spent at least 50 billion won on investing in "Unlimited Challenge."

Such behavior, done merely to satisfy his own desires, completely turned Jiang Hu Dong off.

Moreover, during their first meeting, Liu Zaitian directly stated that he would turn "Unlimited Challenge" into a national-level variety show. Hearing this, Jiang Hu Dong's impression of Liu Zaitian became even worse.

Therefore, although they had met through Liu Zaisi's introduction, there had never been any personal contact between them.

However, over the past two years, Liu Zaitian's words seemed to be gradually coming true. As a result, Jiang Hu Dong's perception of Liu Zaitian changed from arrogance and conceit to genius!

However, due to their initial interactions, there was no real connection between them. This time, when faced with KBS TV's weekend variety show invitation, upon learning that the cast list was directly determined by Liu Zaitian, Jiang Hu Dong felt a sense of gratitude towards him.

Therefore, the moment Liu Zaitian arrived at the scene, Jiang Hu Dong immediately extended an olive branch to him.

"Brother Hu Dong, you came really early." Liu Zaitian quickly ran over and flattered him.

No matter what, although their relationship might have been quite distant before, due to this variety show, all the cast members owed Liu Zaitian a favor. This was also KBS TV's way of showing gratitude for Liu Zaitian's generous act of handing over the full copyright of "Two Days One Night" to them. They fully accepted the cast list proposed by Liu Zaitian, thus completely handing over this favor to him.

"Zaitian, since the program hasn't started filming yet, quickly give me a brief explanation. You know, this is my first time filming an outdoor variety show, so I'm quite nervous." Jiang Hu Dong pulled Liu Zaitian to his side and said with a pleading look.

Seeing Jiang Hu Dong's attitude, Liu Zaitian naturally knew that he wanted to build a closer relationship.

In such a situation, anyone who is not a fool would not refuse such a gesture. So Liu Zaitian directly replied, "Brother Hu Dong, no problem. The initial filming is mainly for the MCs and the production team to get used to each other, and also to help everyone quickly familiarize themselves with the program's format and style, so the requirements won't be too high. Just act naturally as you would in other variety shows, and the writers will give you prompts."

"Is that so!" Jiang Hu Dong nodded in understanding. At this moment, a figure appeared in his sight, "Zhongmin, you're here!"

He shouted loudly, and upon hearing the name, Liu Zaitian naturally knew who it was.

Jin Zhongmin!

As the leader of the music group Gaoyota, Jin Zhongmin is a typical figure spanning the music and entertainment industries. Due to his consistently honest and kind demeanor, he is also one of the most well-liked artists in the Korean entertainment industry.

"Hello, Brother Zhongmin!" Liu Zaitian quickly turned around and greeted Jin Zhongmin, who was approaching quickly.

Compared to Jiang Hu Dong, Liu Zaitian and Jin Zhongmin had a much closer relationship and were the most familiar among the MCs of "Two Days One Night."

"Hello, Brother Hu Dong, Zaitian, you came really early!" Jin Zhongmin first greeted Jiang Hu Dong, then gave Liu Zaitian a friendly hug.

Seeing this, Jiang Hu Dong felt a bit envious of the relationship between Liu Zaitian and Jin Zhongmin. They were both among the first batch of people introduced to Liu Zaitian by Liu Zaisi.

However, due to his personal bias, he gradually distanced himself from Liu Zaitian. On the other hand, the kind-hearted Jin Zhongmin, after learning about Liu Zaitian's situation, began to advise him not to be overly ambitious. When his advice failed and he saw Liu Zaitian's unwavering determination, Jin Zhongmin began to share his various experiences in filming variety shows with Liu Zaitian. This is why they have maintained a very close relationship.

"Hello, Brother Hu Dong, Brother Zhongmin, hello, Liu Zaitian xi!"

Suddenly, a series of greetings came again.

Liu Zaitian turned his head and saw that it was Lee Seunggi running over from a distance.

Due to his participation in the SBS TV weekend variety show "X-Man," Lee Seunggi was quite familiar with Jiang Hu Dong and Jin Zhongmin, but the only person he was unfamiliar with was Liu Zaitian, the planner of "Two Days One Night."

"Ah~ Seunggi is here, just in time. The two 'National Younger Brothers' are finally together." Jiang Hu Dong placed Lee Seunggi next to Liu Zaitian and smiled widely.

"Ha ha, hello Seunggi, we're about the same age, so we can just chat directly." Liu Zaitian smiled and put his arm around Lee Seunggi's shoulder.

Both being referred to as 'National Younger Brothers' and both being packaged roles by their agencies, Liu Zaitian, despite debuting later, had a higher influence and fame than Lee Seunggi, who had been a regular on "X-Man" for a while.

Especially after learning that Liu Zaitian personally arranged for him to participate in the KBS TV weekend variety show "Two Days One Night," Lee Seunggi felt a deep sense of gratitude towards this fellow young man.
