Chapter 63

ps: Lonely Moon Guardian, Iron-Blooded Chinese, and the reward from the Crown of God, hehe! I love big rice dumplings, I'm really embarrassed, I typed a bit but got too tired and fell asleep! Hehe!

Without Park Jiho knowing, a small conspiracy was suddenly about to hit him!

JYP Entertainment 2PM Dormitory!

"Nick, you really did it. Now my tweet has been retweeted by tens of thousands of people, and a group of people are posting comments to curse Park Jiho. But, is it really okay to say this?" Park Jaebeom looked at Nick with some concern.

Nick didn't speak, but Yoochun, who was on Park Jaebeom's left, laughed and said, "Don't worry, Jaebeom. The tweet you posted doesn't mention anyone by name; it just has a photo of KARA. As for the many people saying Park Jiho plagiarized, that's their personal opinion and has nothing to do with you!"

After saying this, Nick smiled and said, "Hehe... I think the media will soon get involved. As the situation gets bigger, Park Jiho will be in a very difficult position. The whole thing has nothing to do with you, Jaebeom, because it's all based on others' speculations. You didn't mention anyone by name; you just said someone plagiarized, and he will be punished. The photo of KARA was just because you like it. Even if Park Jiho wants to sue, he won't know who to sue!"

He then burst into laughter. Seeing the laughing Nick, Park Jaebeom said excitedly, "That's great. Oh, we really have to thank Park Jiho this time for letting us appear in the media again and reap the benefits."

"See, I told you Nick is the smartest in 2PM. Who else could come up with such a good plan? We have no losses, and we instantly turn a rising songwriter into our stepping stone. If we can crush this stepping stone, it would be even better!" Yoochun laughed happily.

At this moment, Nick smiled confidently and said, "He will die, because I want him to die."

...............................

While Park Jiho was in class, the Korean media was already collectively excited because of Park Jaebeom's tweet. This would be another major conflict, especially one that is hard to clarify, with one party being a popular group and the other a new rising figure. It's a guarantee for high ratings.

What made the entertainment media even happier was that when a large number of people on the internet were calling Park Jiho a plagiarizer, another group of people suddenly appeared, spreading rumors online that Park Jiho had affairs with multiple female students at Seoul University and had taken a woman to a hospital for an abortion. In reality, anyone who knows Park Jiho would know these so-called revelations are fake, as they are too obviously false. Unfortunately, in Korea, more people don't know Park Jiho, and Koreans are a people who believe rumors easily. So, Park Jiho began to face the dissatisfaction of Korean internet trolls, who started to smear him online, even though almost none of them knew him.

At this moment, in Seoul University, Park Jiho already knew everything. Looking at Park Jaebeom's tweet, Park Jiho realized it was a targeted conspiracy, and a double-edged one at that. In Park Jaebeom's tweet, there was no mention of him by name, but a photo of KARA performing "Mr." was placed at the end, leading people to endless speculation. The direct implication was that Park Jaebeom was accusing him of plagiarism. Knowing that netizens and the media love to speculate, they would quickly point the finger at him, gathering all the evidence to prove he was a plagiarizer. If he wasn't careful, he would be condemned by the entire nation.

As long as Park Jaebeom hid and didn't directly answer any media questions, the whole thing would have nothing to do with him. No matter what you say, Park Jaebeom is innocent because he never said Park Jiho was a plagiarizer, so it has nothing to do with him. Everything is just the media and netizens' speculation. He just needs to follow Park Jiho to the headlines.

But Park Jiho wasn't that stupid. He saw this as 2PM formally declaring war on him. Park Jiho didn't want to cause trouble, but the trouble was already on his head. He wouldn't continue to play the good guy and not fight back. Now, Park Jiho was thinking about how to make the other side completely fail. He wanted them to know that playing smart games comes with the cost of destruction.

Seoul University.

Park Jiho was preparing to leave school and go home. A group of female students from Seoul University followed behind him. Park Jiho turned and looked at them, smiling speechlessly, "Why are you all following me?"

Looking at Park Jiho, one of the girls stepped forward and said, "Senior, there are a group of reporters outside. We want to prove that you are our best senior, that you have never done anything to disgrace the female students of Seoul University. You are kind and upright, and it is an honor for us, the female students of Seoul University, to like you. Right, sisters?"

"Right...!" The word "right" was shouted by nearly a hundred girls, warming Park Jiho's heart deeply. Honestly, Park Jiho didn't know that he could be liked by anyone, really didn't know. He just wanted to work hard quietly for his sister, but unknowingly, he also received the support of others. This feeling was strange, but Park Jiho really liked it!

He gave a standard 90-degree bow and said, "Thank you!"

Then he took large steps toward the school gate. Originally worried, he was now full of confidence because he knew that even if all of Korea was defaming him, there was still a group of people supporting him. They were his strongest confidence.

When he reached the entrance of Seoul University, the scene was spectacular, even more so than the last time when he was accused of killing seven people and was being taken to prison. As soon as he appeared, the reporters at the gate started shouting, "He's here, he's here, Park Jiho is here!"

Then came a barrage of flashbulbs, and the three major TV stations' SNG vehicles were on the scene for live coverage. As soon as Park Jiho stepped out of the school gate, a group of microphones were thrust in front of him, and a cacophony of voices filled his ears!

"Mr. Park Jiho, is 'Mr.' a song you plagiarized?"

"Mr. Park Jiho, what is your response to 2PM's Park Jaebeom accusing you of plagiarism?"

"Mr. Park Jiho, are the rumors about you on the internet true?"

...............................

A group of people asked various questions, making Park Jiho laugh speechlessly. After laughing, Park Jiho gave the warmest smile and a humble 90-degree bow to all the reporters, then said, "Look, everyone is asking me questions at the same time. I really don't know which one to answer. Can we do it one by one? I want to listen carefully and give everyone the correct answer."

Park Jiho's warm smile and humble bow suddenly made the reporters feel good. This was the first time they had encountered such a response in their years as reporters, and they realized they hadn't been quite right. After a brief discussion, they actually formed a preliminary press conference, though this time it was organized by the reporters themselves.
