House-of-Jazz is a jazz bar in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

The jazz music offered here is absolutely top-notch in the city of Seoul.

The whole bar is divided into two floors, the first floor is a public place, the second floor is distributed business boxes, the decoration style of the store is American country, old-fashioned dressers, wooden bars, tables and chairs, not at all deliberately nostalgic feeling, just like the black and white photos of jazz masters of various periods hanging on the wall behind the bar, gentle and unassuming.

Most of the musicians here come from abroad, and their solid skills are accompanied by highly creative improvisational olos and touching sincere voices, which make the listeners truly forget themselves.

Generally speaking, jazz bars are not too big, just as jazz is a relatively niche genre, jazz bars are also somewhat niche, and today's young men and women are undoubtedly more willing to go to nightclubs or discotheques to indulge their passions than to go to jazz bars to listen to elegant jazz.

However, House-of-Jazz is one of the largest jazz bars in Seoul, and House-of-Jazz is also very good on weekdays, with young men and women from wealthy families, as well as older people and those who like to be more sophisticated.

Because the consumption level here is not low, ordinary people can easily afford to consume.

……、

At seven o'clock in the evening, Tie Hu drove Jin Jingcheng's silver Range Rover and took Jin Jingcheng to the parking lot at the entrance of House-of-Jazz.

Kim Dong-woo attends a birthday party at House-of-Jazz in the evening, and asks Kim to come over to meet him.

In this regard, Jin Jingcheng was a little surprised, and felt that since Jin Dongyou was attending his friend's birthday party, it was inevitable that it would be a little inappropriate for him, an outsider, to come over.

It's Tiehu, who takes it for granted, because he knows that Kim Dongwoo is a person with this kind of character.

Tie Hu was surprised that people like Kim Dong Woo, who only go to nightclubs and discotheques on weekdays, would come to a place like a jazz bar tonight, which is a bit unusual, but Tie Hu quickly judged that the identity of the owner of the birthday party held tonight must be extraordinary, and it is likely to have a high status in Kim Dong Woo's mind, otherwise Kim Dong Woo would not come to the jazz bar easily.

Tiehu told Jin Jingcheng about these thoughts, so that Jin Jingcheng had a preparation in his heart.

Coming over tonight, Jin Jingcheng did make some psychological preparations, and he paid special attention to it.

Because Tie Hu has already told Jin Jingcheng about his general knowledge of Kim Dong-woo's background, although Tie Hu does not know much about Kim Dong-woo's background, he still knows some of it, for example, not only Jin Dong-woo himself is the captain of a mysterious special forces in South Korea, he is a special soldier, and several of his elders are generals of the South Korean military.

Kim came to the conclusion that Kim Dong-woo was very powerful in the South Korean military, and most of them were the children of a military family.

Tiehu also calmly told Jin Jingcheng that once Jin Jingcheng got acquainted with Jin Dongyou, it would be equivalent to a very powerful boost.

In this regard, Jin Jingcheng did not have the slightest doubt, he naturally knew what it meant to make friends with a very powerful son of a military family, and he needed such a friend by his side now, what Jin Jingcheng was puzzled about was that Tie Hu could become a friend or even a good buddy with a person like Jin Dongyou, so what was Tie Hu's identity when he was in the Chinese army?

Jin Jingcheng didn't ask, he knew that after asking, Tiehu would not only not answer but would feel embarrassed, there were some things he knew in his heart, anyway, Jin Jingcheng had already judged that Tiehu was by no means an ordinary soldier at the beginning, and it was likely to be very unusual.

……

The parking lot is not small, at this time there have been a lot of cars, and some cars are coming one after another, nearly half of the cars are relatively cheap to the public, and the other half of the cars are good cars and luxury cars, including Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Accos and even Porsche, etc., compared to these good cars and luxury cars, Jin Jingcheng's silver Range Rover is not outstanding.

Successful people tend to be good at looking at the details and then guessing things in advance.

Through the details of these cars, Jin Jingcheng immediately speculated that the guests attending the birthday party tonight were likely to include two classes, one was the general class and the other was the wealthy class.

This is generally rare, and since it is a private birthday party, the visitors are usually either from the general class or the wealthy class.

Thinking of this, Jin Jingcheng looked forward to this birthday party a little more, and felt that something unexpected might happen.

After Jin Jingcheng and Tiehu got out of the car, they immediately saw figures walking in front of them, almost all of them were young men and women in their twenties and thirties, whether they got off from the Volkswagen car or from the luxury car, almost all of them were dressed up to attend, most of the women were wearing evening dresses, and most of the men were wearing suits and leather shoes, as if they were going to attend a high-end banquet.

At this time, a couple in pairs passed by Jin Jingcheng, talking about it as they walked.

The man asked nervously, "Honey, who is having a birthday party tonight?"

The woman said, "Didn't I tell you, it's a high school classmate of mine, her name is Zhang Shilin." ”

The man asked, "Who is this Zhang Shilin? Why are there so many rich children who came here tonight?"

The woman said, "That's for sure, my classmate's family background is amazing." ”

Then he whispered: "Although I don't know much about her family background, I heard that many of the elders in her family are officials, and they are all great officials. ”

The man became more and more nervous: "That's it, that'...... Is it appropriate for me to come?"

The woman gave the man a blank look: "Look at your unproductive appearance, it's okay, this is the first time she has held a birthday party since returning from studying in the United States, and she specially invited a group of our high school classmates, and also pointed out that she can bring her partner." ”

The man nodded, still looking nervous.

The woman said, "Let's leave those rich kids alone, let me tell you the truth, I'm here tonight mainly to watch the stars, I heard that there will be TVXQ and Fly-To-The-Sky live performances tonight to celebrate, and I am very excited to think about it......"

The man interrupted dissatisfiedly: "Hey, your boyfriend is still here, don't be a nymphomaniac, okay?"

The woman smiled and said: "I know, it's just to watch stars, but I don't really like them, not to mention that even if I look at them, how can they look at me, after all, I'm not a rich girl." ”

……

This conversation was listened to by Jin Jingcheng.

"Zhang Shilin?" Jin Jingcheng muttered softly, this was the first time he had heard the name.

However, for TVXQ and Fly-To-The-Sky, Jin Jingcheng is naturally no stranger.

TVXQ, needless to explain, the popular Asian boy group in the previous life was also a harmony dance group, which was originally composed of five members: Kim Jae-jung, Jung Yoon-ho, Park Youtian, Kim Jun-so, and Sim Chang-min.

Because it is still late September 2004, TVXQ is still in its infancy.

On December 26, 2003, TVXQ made her debut on SBS TV Station BoA and Britney's New Year's "special-show", performing on the same stage with BoA and singing "OH-Holy-Night".

On February 6, 2004, more than half a year ago, TVXQ officially debuted through the popular SBS TV program MBC-TV "Music Camp".

Although it has only been more than half a year since its official debut, TVXQ already has a large number of fans in South Korea, many of whom are young men and women in the new era, especially college students and high school students.

After Jin Jingcheng returned to South Korea, he paid more attention to the entertainment industry, so it was naturally impossible not to pay attention to TVXQ.

Not long ago, Jin Jingcheng saw a news that on August 11 this year, TVXQ was in a rear-end car accident due to too busy a busy trip, and the driver was fatigued in the accident, in which the driver of the car in front unfortunately died, and the three family members of the driver and five members of TVXQ were all seriously or lightly injured.

At this time, it has only been more than a month since the traffic accident, and TVXQ will perform at such a private birthday party tonight. This undoubtedly shows two aspects, one is that S.M Entertainment treats its artists very cruelly, and the other is that Zhang Shilin, the owner of tonight's birthday party, has an extraordinary status.

Fly-To-The-Sky, whose name means dream and hope for the future, is a singing group launched by S.M Entertainment in the early years, consisting of Brian and Fany, two big boys with singing ability and charming appearance.

Compared with TVXQ, which has just started now, Fly-To-The-Sky is already a veteran group, debuting on November 21, 1999, and debuting for nearly five years.

They are Korea's first R&B and Hip-Hop boy duet, before them, most of the Korean duo groups only danced or sang, and never had both, but the two members of Fly-To-The-Sky are not only excellent in singing, but also perfect in harmony, rap and dance are also outstanding.

Regarding this, they will soon show it in the variety shows "Love Letters" and "X-Man", in fact, many people also know Brain and Fany through these two variety shows, and Lijin actually achieved this in his previous life.

As far as Kim knows, Fly-To-The-Sky is also a relatively long-lived boy group in South Korea.

It wasn't until April 12, 2009 that Fly-To-The-Sky held a farewell performance in SBS's "Popular Songs", ending a decade-long history of the group, after which the two members of the group will go their separate ways, Brian will continue to be a singer as Solo, and Fany will focus on acting activities.

In addition, five years later, on May 20, 2014, after a five-year solo period, Fly-To-The-Sky returned with the regular 9th album "Continuum" and resumed the group's activities.

Although Fly-To-The-Sky seems to have a long life, its development has not been smooth, and the first few years, especially during the "Love Letters" and "X-Man" periods, were a bit prosperous due to the outstanding individual talents of the two members, Brain and Fany, and overall it was relatively uneventful.

Perhaps because of this, S.M Entertainment, which has always followed the interests of indifferent people, abandoned Fly-To-The-Sky halfway, and later joined the Pfull (now H2-Mesia) agency.

……

While combing through the information in his mind, Jin Jingcheng walked to the door of House-of-Jazz with Tie Hu.

However, when Jin Jingcheng was about to enter this jazz bar, he was intercepted by four black-clad bodyguards at the door.

A black-clothed bodyguard led by him first stretched out his hand to Jin Jingcheng and said politely: "Hello, please show your invitation letter." ”

"Invitation?" Jin Jingcheng was a little surprised, and glanced at Tie Hu behind him, Tie Hu shook his head in embarrassment, obviously he didn't know that he still needed an invitation to participate in this birthday party tonight, and Jin Dongyou didn't mention this to him.

It's no wonder that how could a person with Kim Dong-woo's personality care about this little detail? Not to mention anything else, when he attends banquets and parties on weekdays, no matter how high-end he is, he usually doesn't need to show any invitations, just brush his face, it's really not good, and no one dares to stop him if he reports his name.

"Sorry, we don't have an invitation. Jin Jingcheng said truthfully.

The black-clothed bodyguard's face immediately changed, and he said solemnly: "You won't be allowed to enter without an invitation!"
