[WFC 390 Cha Moo Gyeol vs. Lee Hao Jun main event]
[Chairman Dave White “The winner of the main event will get the next title shot.”]
[Local interest in WFC 390 is already skyrocketing in Shanghai!]
[ Shanghai authorities “We will make a special stage for the WFC match. Nothing is impossible for us Chinese.”]
[Laurence Fertita “Anything is fine, but please follow the safety rules properly.”]
WFC 390 filled with outstanding cards The finale was the main event of Cha Moo Kyul vs Lee Hao Jun.
The match itself was obvious, but the fun was perfectly guaranteed.
Not to mention Cha Mu-gyeol, who left a highlight video like a gem of a 1st round KO in all four matches after entering the WFC.
This is because Lee Hao-jun was also a hitter without ‘buckoo’.
In addition, unlike D’Angelo, who did not trash talk, Moo-gyeol and Li Hao-jun were all diligent players before the game.
Therefore, the expectations of martial arts fans soared from the press conference of the tour as well as the match.
Like the previous WFC 384, this tour also started in Asia.
After Seoul, Beijing, Europe and North America, the schedule ends again in Shanghai, the venue of the competition.
Mugyeol also visited Korea again after 3 months.
My father, Dong-gil, whom I met after three months, had a better face.
“Does your relationship work out very well?”
“…no dude.”
“no?”
When the love story came out, Dong-gil’s expression hardened gloomily.
“Isn’t it okay?”
“Eh, I don’t know. Being in a relationship isn’t easy!”
“Be patient with me a little bit. If you get the belt, let’s go to America and live together.”
“okay? Then, is this father also allowed to date blondes?”
“Could you speak calmly?”
“That’s right. try.”
“It’s not impossible, but it’s possible that someone who wasn’t popular in Korea went to America…”
“No, that’s fine. Just go there, kid.”
“Puhaha-.”
“Is this guy trash talking to my father now?”
“You know the term all trash talk?”
“of course! My son is good at martial arts.”
In Korea, I always ended my schedule by spending time with my father, but this time I had one more promise.
A promise made while preparing for the WFC 384 match.
Kang Hye-min appeared at the promised place in a more beautiful outfit than ever.
“It’s been a while, flawless player.”
“Yes, reporter.”
She guided Mugyeol to a private room of a fairly luxurious fine dining.
“Eat all you want. As promised, today is the day I live.”
“Are you really just eating?”
“sure.”
She confidently said, ‘Eat as much as you want’, but soon she couldn’t help but admire the amazing food quality.
“…Are you really eating well?”
“yes. Anyway, is it okay to eat like this?”
“sure. I’m actually a gold spoon.”
“Oh, then you eat without hesitation?”
While eating, Moo Gyeol and Kang Hye Min shared stories they had accumulated over the years.
“I remember at RCF. Did I find out sooner?”
“Me?”
“sure. Oh, this is not for domestic use! It’s a talent to chew on the WFC!”
“really? I was pretty chubby back then.”
“Tongtoong? Eyy, back then I wasn’t plump, but fat…”
“Wow, you’re too much.”
“Puhahaha, you’re in great shape now.”
Starting from the first meeting.
“When I was investigating Jang Young-gil, I felt like a real detective. That was the first time a conspiracy theory was actually proven!”
“The reporter did it all.”
“What are you talking about? I couldn’t do anything if it wasn’t for the USB that Cha Mu-gyeol gave me.”
“Then what about the two of us?”
“of course!”
The moment that sunk RCF and Jang Young-gil.
“Thank you for this D’Angelo case.”
“Ah, that’s the point. I guess I appealed to the American media in a good way.”
“is it so?”
“It’s not confirmed yet, but I think I’ll be working at ‘Fight Dog’ from 2025!”
“really? Wow, so are you working in America?”
“Yes, with Ariel Watson!”
“Then, can you see the day I go as a guest on ‘Fight Dog’?”
“sure!”
From the most recent events to what will happen in the future.
I was worried about what would happen if it was awkward, but there were more things to talk about between Moo-gyeol and Kang Hye-min than I thought.
Moogyeol put down the tableware only after emptying nearly 1 million won worth of plates while chatting like that.
“Whew-.”
“Wow, you’re eating really well.”
“Did I eat too much?”
“no. A man who eats well is my ideal type.”
“yes?”
“Oh no, just like that.”
As Kang Hye-min hurriedly concluded his words, a moment of silence passed.
This time, Mugyeol opened his mouth.
“So, do you want to go out for a drink? As promised, I will buy the alcohol.”
“That’s right. where are you going?”
“my house.”
“…yes? Is this your house?”
“Don’t get me wrong. Because your father is there too.”
“aha-.”
“Isn’t that a strange idea, reporter?”
“Because it isn’t.”
In that way, Mugyeol and Kang Hye-min headed to Mugyeol’s house located in Hannam-dong.
As soon as he got home, Mugyeol went looking for his father.
“Is this the one who came before? You are dressed like a goddess today!”
“It’s okay, father. Can you make me some snacks?”
“Someone of this bastard is dying of depression because he is in a relationship, so where are
you salting…”
“No, what’s wrong, dude!”
“I will ask you a favor.”
Dong-gil grumbled and headed to the kitchen.
“Are you okay with spicy food?”
“Yes, Father, it’s great!”
In the meantime, he did not forget the thriftiness of taking care of Kang Hye-min’s taste.
“sorry. Were you a bit surprised that he suddenly brought you home?”
“No, no. It’s not the first time I’ve been here.”
“Actually, I don’t know anywhere.”
“yes?”
“Because I’ve been fighting all my life. All I know is the home gym…well, that’s all.”
“aha.”
“Well, even if I ask Jinman-hyung or Kang-ju-hyung, they only know a man cannon shop or a strange soju shop.”
“Haha Seok Jin-man and Ji Kang-joo?”
“yes. Besides, I don’t have a more comfortable space than here. The reporter was always curious about me.”
“yes? uh, right?”
“So I thought it would be appropriate to bring them here.”
Hyemin Kang quietly nodded and looked around.
High floor heights and glass windows and wooden furniture looked expensive at first glance.
“The house is very nice.”
“The house I used to live with my father wasn’t like this. Well, it wasn’t the worst, but it was a small house for three people.”
“Are you very successful?”
“Haha that’s right. RCF has been a huge help.”
At that time, Dong-gil, wearing an apron, appeared with mouth-watering five-three bulgogi and distilled soju.
“Have a good meal. There are a lot of rooms, so if you’re drunk, you can rest and go.”
“What does the child’s father say…”
“Ah, do we really need to share a room? I’m careless… so-.”
Mugyeol, who lightly defeated his father, smiled brightly at Hyemin Kang.
“Haha, my father is a bit playful.”
“I’m good.”
“What is good?”
“When I’m with my father, I like Cha Moo-gyeol because he seems to be a bit relaxed.”
“is it so?”
“When I go up to the stadium or do interviews, I feel like I’m just living.”
“is it.”
Mugyeol tilted his head at Hyemin Kang’s words.
When I heard it, it seemed that way too.
There are certainly some people who make him feel at ease.
And they were all highly indebted.
“I see. I feel a little more comfortable when I’m with my father or Jinsu hyung.”
“I see.”
“They are grateful people. I have to work hard to repay the favor.”
Kang Hye-min gulped and asked Mu-gyeol a question.
“Um, then, don’t you have anything to be thankful for?”
“Of course it is.”
“Then can you relax a bit in front of me?”
“Ah, that’s not so much.”
“to? why?”
“Anyway, isn’t the reporter a woman?”
“uh? Do you see me as a woman?”
“Then are you a man?”
“No, you don’t mean that!”
As the alcohol drank slowly, the two of them talked more and more.
Dong-gil, the father, watched the scene with satisfaction and gave a thumbs up.
“I am ruined, but you must succeed…”
After turning on the warm electric blanket on the bed in the room, Dong-gil went to bed first.
Even after that, Moo Gyeol and Kang Hye Min emptied their glasses for a long time.
* * *
The next morning.
“Keep it-.”
Kang Hye-min, who stretched while feeling the touch of the soft blanket, was startled.
“omg-!?”
Yesterday, we drank, chatted, drank, and chatted together at the house of innocence…
Then… what happened?
no way…?
Fearfully, I pulled back the covers, but there was no sign of a man sleeping half-naked.
“Whew-.”
I’m glad, but why are you a bit sad?
I was trying to tidy up my messy hair with strange emotions, but I heard a voice from outside.
“Are you ready, reporter?”
“yes? What are you ready for?”
“Prepare to go out. Today is press conference day.”
“Is that right!?”
“Get ready. let’s go together.”
Compared to the messy Kang Hye-min, Moo-gyeol looked fine as if he didn’t have a hangover.
The relaxed look of yesterday is nowhere to be found, and the eyes are ready to fight again.
Wearing a suit and getting on the limousine sent by the WFC, Kang Hye-min knew the martial arts player’s flawless appearance itself.
Such professionalism even though he is much younger than himself.
Hyemin thought that flawlessness was amazing.
The limousine stopped in front of the SC Hotel and the two entered the conference room under an escort.
In the conference room full of reporters, martial arts players, including opponent Li Haojun, were already present.
“Little child!这么晚了怎么办!”
(Dude! What are you doing if it’s this late!)
Li Haojun snapped at me in blunt Chinese, but Mugyeol didn’t even raise an eyebrow and sat down.
The moderator noticed the players and quickly proceeded with the event.
“Okay, now that all the players are gathered, let’s start in earnest. Start asking questions with the reporters assigned priority for WFC 390 Media Day!”
After all the interviews with the previous cards were over, the press conference for the main event, which attracted all attention, finally began.
It was Li Haojun, who had been continuously provoking Mugyeol, who opened the fire.
“Now, before we talk, let’s look at some data.”
He even showed sincerity in preparing audiovisual materials and attacked Mugyeol.
“People’s predictions for this match. This is the match prediction I researched on my own on social media. As you can see, 94.7% of a total of 30,000 people are predicting my victory.”
“….”
“Not 70% 80%, but more than 90% of people! Doesn’t this make it obvious even without looking at the direction of this game?”
“…”
Mugyeol Cha just silently looked at the photo Haojun Lee uploaded.
Li Haojun raised his fever as if he was excited and continued talking.
“You are just a style for YouTube. I’m just a clown who makes fancy KO videos. 94.7% of people are like me…”
Moogyeol then cut off Li Haojun’s words and opened his mouth.
“Lee, by the way.”
“…?”
“Is it possible to use SNS in your country?”
“What is that…”
Li Haojun rolled her eyes at the sudden, innocent question.
Mugyeol continued with a slight sneer.
“You know what? You can’t do everything on Instagram and Facebook because the fucking scary government blocked it.”
“…!?”
“Oh right. Is there a social media platform that only Chinese people use, like Heibo?”
Li Haojun’s face heated up in an instant at the flawless attack.
“That 94.8% there? In a vote amongst the Chinese? Did you bring it up as a weapon?”
“…!”
“So what will the 5.2% reactionary molecules do? Did the police arrest you?”
While Li Haojun was unable to speak, the flawless attack continued.
“That’s right, I’m doing well on YouTube these days. KO highlights have over 10 million views. but can’t you see that? Is it possible to watch YouTube in your country?”
“…!”
“Or did you really use a bypass IP like a rat? Like a middle schooler who is crazy about watching porn?”
“I…”
“I’m not going to get caught before even playing, right? We can fight, right?”
The reporters burst into laughter at the devil’s words that perfectly subdued Li Haojun from the beginning.
“Pu-huh-.”
“Anyway, that guy’s tongue is crazy.”
However, the flawless mic work was just the beginning.
