Beijing didn't feel like a "next stop." Beijing felt like a second launch.
By the time Dayo's plane even landed, the atmosphere online had already changed. Shanghai was still trending in clips, still being replayed, still being argued about, and yet China had already shifted its weight to Beijing like it was hungry for something bigger. It didn't take long for the ticket platform to prove it. The moment the Beijing link went live, it wasn't just traffic it was a stampede. The page lagged, the queue system broke twice, and the complaints started pouring in while the tickets were still disappearing, because in China, the demand wasn't emotional. It was numerical.
When the final dashboard refreshed, Jang-Wook just stared at the screen like his eyes were lying.
Beijing was sold out.
Not slowly. Not "by end of day." It was wiped clean.
