Chapter 322 – A Beautiful Farewell (2)

322

The grand car parade that took place in Newcastle went straight to the other side of the globe.
It was a level where the car parade was relayed in real time, apart from simply passing information, so it could be said to be a truly global era.

“Yes, I am Reporter Cho Hyun-ki on the scene. As you can see, downtown is full of excited citizens. After the bus carrying the players entered the city an hour ago, the heat grew even hotter. Along with cheering songs coming from all over the place, the voices calling out Hong Min-jun—”
“Hey! Are you from Korea?”
“Red!! I love you, Hong!!”
“I like Korea! Fucking, I love you so much! Asia is the best!!”

Citizens who quickly gathered around the reporter, who was broadcasting live, made a lot of noise.
The reason why the citizens gathered here is, of course, because of Hong Min-joon.

Hong Min-joon’s popularity naturally increased his interest in Korea, and thanks to him, the Korean wave, which was popular among young women, became popular, but unlike other Asian reporters who broadcast leisurely, the reason why they are uniquely gathered here is—

“Hmmmm. Yes, the voices cheering Minjun Hong like this—”
“I know! This is Korean!”
“Shit! Puck! Real Korean!? Is it really hot?”
“Korea is the best! Minjun Hong is the best!!”

It was because ‘Korean’ was so familiar to Newcastle fans.
Enough to distinguish it from the languages ​​of Asian countries that have a ‘similar’ appearance, including Chinese and Japanese.

This happened because Hong Min-joon often spoke Korean despite his English proficiency comparable to that of a native speaker.
From casual interviews to fan service, he dared to mix Korean with his fluent English, and if he was a Newcastle fan who loves Hong Min-jun, he could speak a word or two of Korean fluently.

“Hello Korea!”
“I am an idiot!!”
“Hong Min-joon Oh, you’re so short-lived!”

As if to prove this, when the citizens who understood Cho Hyun-ki’s Korean and realized that it was a Korean broadcast, flocked to the show, Jung-gu heating in poor Korean broke out.

Even in this situation, when a young woman who was intoxicated kissed the cheek of reporter Cho Hyun-ki, who was trying to continue relaying steadfastly,

“Soon the bus with the squad will—”
“Ah~ Oppa~”
“The bus is— big, suck.”

As if waiting, several women pass by kissing one after another.
In the end, reporter Cho Hyeon-gi, who had been steadfastly relaying, collapsed and the screen switched to the studio only when a smile of happiness that could not be hidden was bursting out.

“Ah yes. Haha. Reporter Cho Hyun-ki is happy, no, he has a lot of hardships.”
“Doesn’t that mean that Hong Min-joon’s popularity in Newcastle and Korea is high?”

—The atmosphere is gone haha
—Are all the Newcastle kids sick? Are you almost out of your mind?
— That’s how excited he is haha
—Ah haha ​​The 10,000 year old team had a quadruple, but I wonder if it’s exciting or not?
—Wow, Hyungi’s mind control, Jiri-nu haha ​​He’s commenting in the middle of it
—Who is the girl just now? So fucking pretty
— Newcastle Koreans say they like Koreans so much, but it looks like it’s real hahaWhat’s wrong with Korean language?
— Nosy Shack Geuktae Juji Have you fallen for K-culture? Www This is a cultural victory
—Fuck you~ Get your passport right away
– First of all, it’s not you haha

Newcastle’s home stadium St James’ Park was full of people even after the season was over.

“Welcome everyone with applause! Proud Captain Lauren of Newcastle who led the quadruple~”
〈 BOAT ONLY!! 〉
“Lauren!!”
〈 BOAT ONLY!! 〉

Newcastle fans roar in unison to the announcer’s lead.
Then, coach Lauren Botman walks out to the center of the field.

“Oh~ Our proud captain is here!”

Unlike usual, the inside announcer, who was holding the microphone in the center of the stadium, hugged the approaching manager Boatman and continued to answer questions.

Starting with the boat,

“Captain of Newcastle! John!”
〈 Baum!! 〉
“John!!”
〈 Baum!! 〉

Captains Johann Baum, Sakum Shaky, Locke Woody, James Paul… Up to 25 first-team players and coaching staff.

Every time a name is called, enthusiastic cheers and applause pour in towards the players who step out onto the ground one by one, followed by a short interview.

“Feelings about the quadruple—”
“Who was the most difficult opponent this season?”
“What was the secret of the propaganda?”

The interview lasted only 2-3 minutes per person, or 4-5 minutes at the longest, but with 25 first-team rosters and the main coaching staff, there were over 30 people, so it took a lot of time.

Even though the interview with the coach and even some key players took less than 5 minutes, it took 2 hours until the last turn.

Unlike the players and coaching staff, the strong voice of the announcer in the hall, who had to talk all the time, was even thinking about a strike, but the enthusiasm of the Newcastle fans did not subside so easily.

Of course, the last player to appear at last—

“Everyone! Are you tired!!”
〈NO!!〉
“Great! Then, let’s call the last player together!! One, two—”

Because he was the ace of Newcastle, the lord and emperor of Newcastle, Hong Min-joon.

* * *

Meanwhile, the interview at St. James’ Park was also being broadcast live in Korea.

“Now Jonas Paul is here. He is a 22-year-old highly anticipated youngster with triple nationality of Cameroonian, Italian and German. He started 9 games this season and was substituted in 13 games, recording 1 goal and 3 assists, and he is a player who has played an important role as a member of the rotation.”
“Yes, we are watching part 2 of Min-joon Hong’s special program ‘Dawn of the Dynasty’ together. Has it already been four hours?”
“It seems that some of you are tired because Hong Min-joon hasn’t appeared for a long time since the first part where there was a car parade. Hehe, the interesting news is that there are also Chinese and Japanese broadcasters on the scene at Newcastle.”
“In China and Japan, interviews with Newcastle players are being broadcast live right now, right?”

Although the relay crew was replaced after the first part, it was never easy to conduct a live broadcast that lasted for 2 hours.

Although he could hide his tired expression, he couldn’t help the falling tension.

“Now, it’s finally the turn of the long-awaited player Minjun Hong.”
“That’s right. The interview with the coaching staff and 24 players from the first team squad, including the manager, has ended. Now, finally, Hong Min-jun, who is called Newcastle’s ace, the emperor, will appear.”

It was time for everyone to show off their colors and raise the final tension in the special live broadcast that finally showed the end.

-Emergency!!! Visaaaaang!!!
—A big one came aaaaa
—?
—What’s wrong with the chat window?
—Breaking news) Jorge transfer

The screen where real-time chatting took place in accordance with the live broadcast could not handle the momentary traffic and began to stutter.

The moment the broadcaster’s bewildered eyes turned to the production crew,

“Uh… ? Breaking news. Hong Min-jun’s rival and Real Madrid’s ace, Jorge Garcia… The news that the transfer was officially announced—”
“Uh, Min-Jun Hong shines on the relay screen, uh, shouts… Is it true that the camera is fixed now? The screen is shaking… Wow, really, really great.”

* * *

“Our pride! Our heart! Newcastle’s eternal hero!! Min-Jun “The Emperor” Hong, everyone!!”

Hong Min-joon appears in a suit with the cry of vomiting blood from his wife, Un-seo.

“Hello. This is Hong Min-jun.”
-Red!! Red!! Red!!
—Lord Of Newcastle!! The Emperor!!!

St James’ Park began to ring.

The stomping of the crowd that filled the arena, the deafening roar of the crowd—and the enthusiasm of the crowd outside shook Newcastle upon Tyne.

“Haha. Thank you so much for such a welcome. I am very happy that my achievements at Newcastle were not in vain.”

When Hong Min-joon, dressed in an elegant jean suit, takes the microphone, his son-in-law instantly becomes quiet.
Thousands and tens of thousands gathered in Newcastle-upon-Tyne watching in real time through large electronic display boards installed everywhere… No, hundreds of thousands of people all listened to Hong Min-joon’s story.

“When I first arrived at Newcastle, I was just an Asian prospect with a lot to prove. Of course he was a World Cup star.”

Everyone laughs at a light joke,

“I always tried my best because I know how high the expectations you place on me are. I did my best. For Newcastle, for the people who support me, I gave everything in every game. It was hard, but the coach and teammates… And thanks to the support of our fans, we were able to come this far. Thank you.”

Everyone cried at the unusually sincere emotions he vomited and at the sight of Hong Min-joon bowing in Korean style to all directions.

“Newcastle are now European champions. It has grown into one of the best teams in England and Europe. Enough to be able to do well without me anymore. So, now I want to say goodbye to you.”

And everyone hardened.

No shortage of financial scale, league champion and European champion, overwhelming stature in the team… Everything seemed perfect to catch Hong Min-joon.

Even though there was only one year left in the contract, and there was no news of contract renewal, no one doubted Hong Min-joon’s renewal of the contract.

It was a very sudden farewell notice.

『(Breaking news) The strongest players in the soccer world, transfer declarations at one time!』
『The World Cup is right around the corner, but all eyes are on the transfer market?』
