Part 4/4: GJ being loud and Married - The Ring Saga

Part One

Part Two

Part Three

The final part (whew), this has taken a lot longer than I expected lol. Here is our boy, GJ, flaunting that ring.

What if GJ just wears these rings for fun? or just for work? Is it a big deal?

Normally, GJ doesn't really wear rings to my knowledge. Also, he's very obvious about work commitments vs personal commitments. He doesn't really mesh the two? Here's an example.

When he was filming Dream Garden, he was given a cp ring as part of the prop for the scene. He actually waits til he's about to do the scene to put the ring on.

And then when he's done with the scene, he immediately takes it off.

He's a person with very strong personal boundaries, as you may have seen as he scooches away from almost everyone he meets lol. Esp during that Vogue event where he's just sitting there... thinking about his life, in the finest clothes, in the midst of a party of super stars. He's just like... nahhh, I'm gonna be on my phone kthx. This man literally just hiding at the bar.

2. Filming Chinese Restaurant

He also wore his ring during his filming of Chinese Restaurant. He actually cooked along with Zhou Ye, the actress for A-Xiang, along with a bunch of other people.

He's shown as putting his hand behind his back when he -just- gets picked up by the bus. We assume that he was taking off his ring here. His hand shows up as oddly.. blurry, as if someone took a photoshop smudge tool and tried to smudge out that ring on his ring finger again (remember part 2-3?)

And then in the scenes where they're sitting around and chatting. You can see that he's HOLDING THAT RING AGAIN. He didn't even want to put it in his pocket lol.

DO YOU SEE THAT EDGE ON THAT RING? IT'S NOT CIRCULAR? It's almost.. hexagon-shaped?!?!?!?! - foams at the mouth -

Here's some more images of him sitting around with that ring, he's such a playful puppy, look familiar?

One final note, someone asked the Tasaki representatives to ID the rings that GJ/ZZH wore, and the rep actually said it's the same ring.

^ I can't remember the tweet this was from, but it's from Amber's collection!

3. Recent appearance at Global Chinese Music on CCTV - Apr 23, 2022

People noticed that his recent appearance (on the same stage that two years ago, ZZH appeared on wearing white as well), he had a peculiar tan line on his ring finger.

Bonus: ZZH still wore that ring in leaked pictures from a variety show he was filming before 813

To conclude: This is the saga that destroyed my sanity, and caused me to dive face-first into every JunZhe/LLD candy there is. I firmly believe that if it weren't for this evidence, I may not have joined this part of the fandom at all lol. I just can't deny that it's clearly an attempt to hide the fact that they're connected/married/engaged. This including the deleted BTS of the WOH concert / WOH filming, where ZZH is always threatening to kiss GJ for various reasons?? You could be the most homophobic person in the entire world, and still can't deny this. C'mon now. (I joke).

If RPS makes you uncomfortable, of course you don't have to believe in it. Do what you wanna do. This is just some international fan's observations. I firmly believe that I'm supporting a real couple, not shipping a "cp." This is only ONE ASPECT of the evidence of their relationship, by the way lol. ONE ASPECT. And it took me FOUR PARTS. I just love them, I love how loyal and sweet GJ is. I love how defiant ZZH is. And I'm heartbroken about what happened to him. If anything, I just want those two to be able to walk out into the light again.

I'll be doing more series on JunZhe/LLD to try and convert all my saved materials into some organized content for this blog, thank you for joining me on this small recollection! I hope you had fun!

The Ring Saga: Part 2/4 - The Rings to Rule Them All

Part One - setting up CP and homophobia in entertainment

Here is the 2nd part of the Ring Saga, my treatise on JunZhe and How I came to believe they're a real couple. All of the following are compiled from tons of sources, and are our own fan observations.

1. Background on accessories for events:

It’s not unusual for actors/idols to wear rings. Many times their clothing is sponsored and/or their stylists will choose a variety of clothing for them to try on and wear. It also depends on their particular studios and how they want to represent their employees. Luckily, ZZH and GJ have a lot of autonomy over their choices because ZZH was under Zhao Wei’s company, which invested a lot in him specifically and gave him a degree of autonomy. GJ has his own studio, so he could effectively make his own clothing choices. Most red carpet events will have stylists who choose clothing for their clients. However, accessories are a different story. Artists can use their own personal accessories and/or sponsored ones.

In ZZH’s first mini concert in October 2020, he wore his famous red suit + stacked rings on his ring fingers. It’s likely that his red outfit was chosen by a stylist, but the stacked rings may have been his own choice.

He also wore these stacked rings again in other photoshoots. Normally, if you want to cultivate a fanbase, you’d stay away from things that make it look like you’re in a relationship, i.e. having rings on your ring finger. ZZH flouted this by boldly wearing STACKED rings during his mini-concert, where he famously invited GJ to attend 3 times, poor boy. He was really smitten wasn’t he? (still is)

Tasaki, a Japanese jewelry company that ZZH was very fond of and has worn jewelry from before, announced ZZH has its brand ambassador on August 2, 2021.

 So he actually wasn’t sponsored by them during the May 4-5, 2021 concerts. Now that we have that done…. LET’S GO TO THE CONCERTS.

2. May 4-5: Youku tried to hide the rings, but only made it MORE suspicious.

The Concert is where the ring CPN really took off because people could compare an accidental broadcast of the rehearsal (concert ring 00) with the actual released BTS later.

Apparently, Youku had some technical malfunction and accidentally broadcasted the rehearsal live, and many people recorded it/took pics of it. Then a month later, Youku released the BTS footage of the concert in its ~20 minute special. Fans compared the two versions and noticed an odd discrepancy…

By the flowing text across the screen, it was a recording of this accidental stream? I think. And fans noticed that GJ was playing with a ring in his hand. This ring actually was EDITED OUT in the final BTS version.

GJ playing with ring (below)

SUSPICIOUS. Meanwhile ZZH was allowed to wear his ring, the famous hexagon rings from TASAKI. People also call it the “nut” ring because the hexagon resembles a nut as part of a bolt/nut combo.

If you’ve seen the unreleased BTS of this, there’s one moment where ZZH is threatening to kiss GJ if he goes off-key, and GJ says, let’s just kiss first! And then a staff member runs over and whispers to ZZH and points at the camera - reminding them to keep the gay down. Clearly, the staff also asked GJ to take off his ring, but he just keeps holding onto it without even putting it in his pocket! So the poor editors had to go in and delete it frame by frame. It didn’t work. It was JUST MORE SUS.

He’s so clearly still holding it! And in the 2nd image above in the blue shirt, there's a mark on his ring finger o.o.

He even posted on his social media a pic of him getting ready, and on his left hand? His ring finger? A SUPER OBVIOUS blur. This man is very loud and didn’t want to hide that ring lol.

MMMM? What is that? Is that my heart growing two sizes in realization that true love really exists and JunZhe is IRL wenzhou??? Hello? I've hit my picture limit, so I will continue in ...

Part Three: Youku Antics to hide the ring continued & a Lone Gong's Journey to show he's married af

Have you seen this before? O.O - There's a lot of background sound so I don't know how accurate it is but..... checks out?

HH: If you dare sing out of tune, I'll kiss you.

JJ: I want kiss, let's kiss first!

(Staff panics)
