Yoon Taeyang climbs to the top of the Premier League scoring charts.
What does Prince Regent echoing through New St. James Park mean?
Yoon Taeyang is insane
WTF 17 years old with 21 goals in 14 games
Look at the Crown Princes skin so flawless
Isnt he 16? Some people still using Korean age lol
Crown Prince take me waaah
Honestly, Korean age is so ingrained I cant drop it. Teens use international age though.
Crown Prince is so handsome
Ugh, why are all these palace maids flooding in
Taeyang finally made an SNS, go hang out there palace maid squad.
The more Yoon Taeyang shone, the more he appeared on TV and portal site news articles.
Countless videos of him popped up on YouTube, frequently hitting popular video lists.
As a result, his fan cafe membership grew daily.
A high percentage of members were women.
There were some female fans who loved soccer, but plenty more who joined for his looks.
The fan cafe started as The Little Prince Yoon Taeyang, but had since rebranded to Palace Maidens.
Once fans started calling him Crown Prince and positioned themselves as his palace maids, and they stormed online communities, Palace Maidens stuck as the official name.
Inside the cafe, there was a sacred space for the Palace Maidens.
The Eastern Palace board.
Named after the residence of the Crown Prince, it was made exclusively for Yoon Taeyangs activity.
But since he never posted, it remained the only board without a single post.
Then one day.
A post titled Hello, this is Yoon Taeyang. appeared on the membership board.

Hello, this is Yoon Taeyang. I just found out about my fan cafe and joined. Thank you all for loving me. Ill try to stop by whenever I have time Thanks.
AAAAA Crown Prince
This girl is overjoyed
To grace us with your presence Such honor, Crown Prince
The Yoon Taeyang theyd longed for finally joined the fan cafe.
He was immediately upgraded to the oneofakind Crown Prince rank and became the owner of the Eastern Palace board.
His fan cafe became official, merging scattered ones and boasting 100,000 members.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United had to face Preston away just three days after Liverpool.
The silver lining? Their opponent in this grueling schedule was deadlast Preston, winless in the league.
Newcastle rested their fatigued starters from Arsenal and Liverpool, sending out backups for an easy 20 win.
After the December schedule.
Yoon Taeyang won Player of the Month for the first time.
But the good news didnt stop there.
For his monstrous performances, he received the European Golden Boy.
The award for the years most promising talent went to him as the youngest ever recipient, and the first East Asian and Korean.
It signaled that Europes football heartland saw him as this eras top prospect.
Winning was great, but Taeyang couldnt fully celebrate.
Hed sat out Preston, but the team had played every three days since round 16 vs. Arsenal.
This was already the fourth.
The Boxing Day finale was New Years Day 2035, the first match of the year.
Against Leeds United.
Artelli mixed starters and subs.
Facing notoriously dirty Dirty Leeds, Taeyang started.
Theyd beaten even rougher Liverpool under Charlie Adam, so Leeds should be fine.
Oh! Yoon Taeyang as expected!
What a goal! Incredible!
The boy whos won the Golden Boy and the worlds attention scores again!
22 league goals now! He surges past 18goal Dylan Monroe and 21goal Felician to top the charts!
Taeyang scored once, contributing to a 32 win.
With Boxing Day swept, halfway through the league, Newcastle sat atop with 45 points.
Chelsea chased at 42, Liverpool third with 37, Man Utd fourth with 35.
Media and predictors saw the title race as a nailbiter between Newcastle and Chelsea, gaps elsewhere too wide.
But both had fatal flaws.
Chelsea drew too many for a secondplace side.
They dominated games but lacked finishersfewest goals among top teams despite best defense.
Chelsea scrambled in the winter window for a striker, but toptier ones rarely hit the market.
Newcastle desperately needed a centerback.
Their thin, shaky backline, hit by injuries, leaked more lately.
They stayed unbeaten thanks to firepower and their worldclass keeper, the only one preRichella Menendez.
But Richella was human.
Guarding like this nonstop risked burnout or injury.
Their backup keeper was subpar too.
Top priority a quality centerback.
Like Chelseas striker hunt, elite CBs were scarce.
But Newcastles chief scout was elite.
Hed anticipated this, dispatching scouts worldwide early.
Winter window reports and tapes flooded in.
He showed Artelli the best.
Young at 23, but solid.
Brazilian.
Artelli skimmed the report and footage.
Tall, jaguarlike build.
Quick feet, aerial strength, Brazilian ball control.
How had Europe missed him?
Names... Muricy? Hows a kid this good not in Europe yet?
Lower leagues in Brazil til last year. Santos signed him this season, and hes leveled up.
Artelli nodded, then asked again.
Any weaknesses?
Narrow vision from inexperiencepair him with Arnold or Dida as mentors, itll fix. Nothing else odd in games. Sports science for the rest.
Good. Tell the chairman to get him.
Newcastle probed for Muricy.
But it wasnt enough.
Their CB squad was paperthin.
Needed more, especially to replace Arnoldsimilar profile or someone to fill the void.
Winter market tough.
No easy fixes.
Artelli sighed, tablet in hand for the next match.
One more game, then rest for the squad.
FA Cup midbreak, but big clubs traditionally sent youth to preserve winter break.
Round 20 foe Middlesbrough.
Easy round 1 win.
Theyd started poorly vs. Newcastle on opening day but climbed to 9th.
Fans hosted Newcastle, hungry for revenge.
Not losing this time.
Newcastle scum, our turn to jinx you
Fall down the table!!
Chelsea to first!!
They hated Newcastle top and wanted to knock them off.
...No one thought theyd win.
Form too hot.
Sure enough.
Illinyu goal! Its in! From Taeyangs assist! Magic pass!
Illinyu!! Another goal!
Illinyuuu!! Hattrick! Wow! Illinyus on fire! First Premier League hattrick!
Illinyu rampaged, 31 over Middlesbrough.
Jinx dreams dashed.
Thus, a brief twoweek Premier League break began.
Ah, rest.
Winter break day one.
Taeyang woke yelling for vacation.
Soccer love aside, after this grind, sweet relief.
What to do with golden two weeks?
What to do? Start with what?
Solo queue? Games calling after neglect.
Pondering, he sat up in bed, eyeing his desktop.
Custom highend rig, millions spentnever once roared at full spec.
Today, Ill make you burn.
Alright, power on.
As his finger reached
Ungah! You up?!
Voice froze him he turned to the door.
Third sibling Yeoreum and fourth Gyeoul, eyes sparkling.
He halted the PC and said,
Yeah, Im up.
Yeah, you are. Yup.
Big bros up. Yup, vacation starts today, right little bro?
Yup, right. Ungahs on break.
Siblings circling coyly Taeyang stretched, grinned from bed.
Bros on break, wanna hang out?
Their faces lit brighter than ever.
Yeah!
Awesome!!
PC gaming looked sidelined for break.
