The Motherland Comes to the United States

Bai Ye was planning to capture Dai Machiko. In South Korea, Li Jae-hyun contacted him and he could close the trap he had set up before.

The last time he was traveling in South Korea, Lee Jae-hyun prepared a gift for Bai Ye, the girl group Tara.

At that time, Tara had just debuted and had not yet reached the peak of her career. She was a small fry, so it was definitely not fun for her to play with them.

If you want to play, play with those goddesses who are unattainable in the eyes of fans!

——Just like what the South Korean chaebols did, when 16 members of a girl group went on stage to perform, 12 of them were stuffed with toys, and the challenge was to not be discovered in front of tens of thousands of fans below the stage... They were playing with the goddess in the heart of the loser!
So Bai Ye left Tara with Li Jae-hyun, and when the six little ones grew up, he would go to South Korea to eat them.

Now is the time.

Well, Bai Ye also gave Li Jae-hyun a bad idea at that time, which was to let Tara suddenly fall when her career reached its peak, and then he would act as the savior and save Tara and the other six people both physically and mentally.

Bai Ye wants to play this way, so Li Jae-hyun can only cooperate.

So, Tara encountered the "troll" incident and was blackened by the entire South Korean Internet. Her career plummeted and she has no activities at all. Now she stays at home, bored and idle.

It is a good time for Bai Ye to "save the beauty".

"It seems like it's time for me to show off my skills again!"

Bai Ye twisted his waist and stretched his muscles.

Something like 1VS6 is not something that ordinary people can do.

Fortunately, he has a body of steel, so there will definitely be no problem.

"Park Ji-yeon, Park Hyo-min, Park So-yeon, Lee Joo-ri, Ham Eun-jung, Jeon Bo-ram... Who should I eat first?"

Bai Ye fell into a happy trouble.

……

Inside MBK dormitory.

“Why did things turn out like this?”

Park Ji-yeon sat on the edge of the bed with her knees bent, her hands tightly wrapped around her knees, her eyes empty and dull.

Tara has successfully become one of the top girl groups in South Korea with many hit songs such as "Bo Peep Bo Peep", "Roly Poly", "Day By Day" and "Lovey Dovey". Her brilliance is unmatched.

Who would have thought that just because a troublemaker joined the group, spread nonsense online, and was bullied by people in Tara, T-ara would fall from being a top girl group to being hated by everyone overnight. In an instant, all work stopped, and they were surrounded by fans, pelted with rotten eggs, and received death threats and dead rats, etc.

With the instigation of some people and the weak response from the company, T-ara became the target of national anti-group in South Korea. Their official club was closed, they lost a large number of fans, members withdrew from variety shows, they were sued by advertisers, and their concerts whose tickets had already been sold were forced to be cancelled. Members were given toxic cosmetics, and there were no chairs to attend events so they had to stand. Park So-yeon was in a car accident but netizens scolded her for not being killed. All the bad news and comments from netizens were attributed to T-ara.

More than 20 Korean netizens signed a petition demanding Tara disband. Every day, many people join the official fan club, not to cheer them up, but to leave messages saying they want to kill them. Someone even set up a black fan group with more than 40 members.
All of this happened so suddenly and violently that it caught people off guard.

Park Ji-yeon didn't understand why an unfounded rumor could make all their years of hard work and sweat go to waste?
Why do people prefer to believe in things that are not there rather than find out the truth?

——South Korea’s unique anti-culture likes to cyberbully celebrities, because in the eyes of most South Koreans, celebrities are not big shots, and South Koreans don’t think highly of them. Some people even dislike celebrities because they don’t understand why some celebrities can make so much money so easily.

“Gugu——!”

It wasn't until her stomach started growling that Park Ji-yeon came to her senses.

She hadn't eaten in almost a day.

"well--!"

Park Ji-yeon sighed softly, went to the kitchen, and opened the refrigerator...

There was nothing to eat in the fridge.

It's very uncomfortable...

"How about ordering takeout?" Park Ji-yeon thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. Who knows if the delivery man is a hater? What if he spits inside the food when delivering it?"

It's not impossible...

Shinhwa’s haters even gave their idol glue as a drink, causing him to have his stomach washed on the spot.

South Korean haters do crazy things.

"Let's eat out at a high-end restaurant. The waiters shouldn't do anything rash, right?" Park Ji-yeon thought.

If the chefs and waiters in high-end restaurants dare to act recklessly, being sued is a small matter. It will be a devastating blow to the restaurant's reputation. Who among the rich people would dare to go to a restaurant where people spit in the food?

then.

Park Ji-yeon drove a car and found a Michelin Korean beef restaurant. She ordered some signature dishes such as marbled beef, seasoned Korean beef steak and beef tenderloin. She was ready to turn her grief and anger into appetite.

I don't know who told me this, but if you're unhappy, overeating will make you feel better.

While waiting for the meal, Park Ji-yeon looked around and suddenly saw someone pushing the door and walking into the restaurant. She widened her eyes and asked, "Is it the oppa who watched our performance with Chairman Lee Jae-hyun?"

Bai Ye seemed to notice Park Ji-yeon's gaze, looked over, met Park Ji-yeon's eyes, then smiled and nodded.

Park Ji-yeon quickly stood up stiffly and bowed to Bai Ye.

Before this, she was a carefree little dinosaur, naive, not afraid of anyone and always laughing. But she had just encountered large-scale cyber violence, and her mentality had begun to change, and she became timid.

She dared not neglect Bai Ye, a big shot who could dominate her destiny.

"You don't have to be so polite." Bai Ye walked towards Park Ji-yeon and asked with a smile, "Are you alone? Do you mind if I share the table with you?"

"Of course! Of course!"

Park Ji-yeon quickly tidied up the things on the table to make some space for Bai Ye.

Bai Ye sat down without hesitation:
"Meeting is fate, I'll treat you today, just order whatever you want." Park Ji-yeon: "Ah? No thanks, I'll treat you, Oppa."

"You can use the hard-earned money as your dowry. I can do it!" Bai Ye said with a smile.

"Well...thank you, Oppa." Park Ji-yeon blinked.

Come to think of it, for such a wealthy man to ask a small artist to treat him to a meal, it’s a bit... what.

"How have you been lately?" Bai Ye asked, "I remember your team's song and dance performance was very good."

"We..." Park Ji-yeon fell silent. After a moment, she smiled bitterly and said, "We Tara may disband, Oppa..."

"why?"

Park Ji-yeon told Bai Ye the whole story of the "troll incident".

"Just because a member of the group posted a message saying that he was bullied by you, you were cyberbullied by all of South Korea?" Bai Ye scratched his head: "Why do I not understand? What kind of operation is this?"

"...Anyway, this is how things are. We simply can't sustain our activities any longer." Park Ji-yeon didn't know how to explain it. The Republic of Dahan has its own national conditions!

If you want to work in the entertainment industry, the treatment in Hollywood is the best. The longest contract with an agency cannot exceed 3 years, and the basic profit sharing is 55-100. There is also an Actors Guild to protect their interests, and income from copyright distribution... Hollywood extras make $ a day.

The Chinese entertainment industry is second, because of the huge consumer market of 14 billion, as long as the artists operate a little, they can find some stupid fans and make a living even if they don't have any works. However, there is no union protection, so companies that survive on the termination fees of signed artists have emerged... Chinese extras get 100 RMB a day.

The Japanese entertainment industry is second, controlled by chaebols and under the big studio system, artists can only earn enough to make ends meet at best, and it is difficult for them to find opportunities to turn their wealth into capital.

The stars in the South Korean entertainment industry are the most miserable. They don't make much money, suffer the most beatings, are manipulated by chaebols, are bullied by black fans, are exploited by management companies, work extremely long hours, and get their wages split 90% to 100%. There are countless stars who commit suicide.

"So that's how it is. Your South Korean culture is a bit strange." Bai Ye sighed.

Park Ji-yeon didn't want to discuss the pros and cons of South Korean culture with Bai Ye, so she could only silently eat the marbled beef that had been brought to her by the waiter.

"Don't you have any company to help you with the operation? It's just a small matter. Your company is backed by CJ Group, which accounts for half of the South Korean entertainment industry. Don't you have a way to solve it?" Bai Ye asked.

"Our manager Oppa told us that the company is having a hard time right now..." Park Ji-yeon's eyes dimmed, "Because that woman's father is a lieutenant general!"

Compared to a lieutenant general, their girl group Tara seems insignificant.

CJ Entertainment certainly doesn't want to anger a lieutenant general.

"They have tried their best to communicate with each other..." Park Ji-yeon is not stupid: "But I guess in the end, the matter may be left unresolved, and we Tara will bear all the responsibility."

"With Li Jae-hyun's status, he wouldn't be afraid of a lieutenant general, right?" Bai Ye blinked.

Lee Jae-hyun dared to confront Samsung, reported Lee Kun-hee for tax evasion, and even hired someone to expose Lee Kun-hee and Park Kuk-chang. He must be afraid of offending a lieutenant general.

"Oppa, you think too highly of us." Park Ji-yeon smiled helplessly, "We are just a girl group, Tara, how can we alarm Chairman Lee Jae-hyun? If it is Director Bong Joon-ho, he should be able to talk to Chairman Lee Jae-hyun."

Even though CJ Entertainment occupies half of the South Korean entertainment industry, it is only one of the business groups of CJ Group. Bong Joon-ho, who is the number one in the South Korean entertainment industry, must be polite to Lee Jae-hyun and dare not show off.

"Is your girl group so miserable? You are almost the number one girl group in South Korea, but you are still not taken seriously." Bai Ye cut a piece of steak and put it in his mouth to chew.

In Hollywood, Taylor Swift, who is the number one singer, even has huge political influence. When she takes sides, Musk and Trump, the richest man, have to stand up and oppose her.

...Chinese celebrities may be rich, but they will never have political influence.

"I'm worried now. What will I do if Tara disbands?" Park Ji-yeon said frustratedly, "I'm not very smart, my grades are not very good, and I completely gave up my studies to become an artist. As a result, it seems that I can't do anything except being an artist. The money I saved over the years is not enough for the rest of my life... Will I have an extremely miserable old age and starve to death at home?"

"...Ahem, that's not the case, is it?" Bai Ye coughed twice and said with a smile, "It's still possible to be a singing and dancing teacher in the future, right?"

"Oppa, you don't understand. If I retired normally, I could still be a teacher or something. But with a bad reputation like mine... it's basically impossible for me to stay in the circle. I can only work in other industries." Park Ji-yeon said.

"If it doesn't work out, why don't you be my secretary?" Bai Ye smiled and said, "Maybe you can earn as much as you would as an artist."

Park Ji-yeon pursed her lips.

Of course she knew that Bai Ye was a big shot whom even Li Jae-hyun had to please. He had a super consortium in the United States, and even in South Korea, he had acquired the Shunyang Group. He was extremely rich and powerful. If she could really become Bai Ye's secretary... that would be a thousand times, ten thousand times better than being a small artist.

"I'm clumsy, how can I be your secretary? If I mess up, I can't afford to pay for it!"

"What's the big deal? Just learn it slowly. It's not difficult..."

"I...can't do that!"

"Oppa... I know what I said was a bit too much and a bit shameless, but I still want to say... Can you help us, help Tara?" Park Ji-yeon suddenly knelt in front of Bai Ye, raised her head, looked at Bai Ye beggingly, and said pitifully: "As long as you can help Tara get out of the haze, I am willing to do anything you want me to do! Tara is the hard work of all of us, we don't want all these years of hard work to be wiped out in an instant!"

If Lee Jae-hyun is willing to protect Tara, it would only take a word. In the South Korean military system, most of the troops are rubbish. Only the air transport troops directly under the president have some status. A mere lieutenant general cannot compare to the strength of a chaebol like Lee Jae-hyun.

Bai Ye is more powerful than Li Jae-hyun. As long as he is willing, he can definitely bring Tara back to life.

...Park Ji-yeon didn't know any big shot who could suppress a lieutenant general. Now she happened to meet Bai Ye. Seeing that Bai Ye seemed easy to talk to, she decided to give it a try.

Since he was going to quit the circle anyway, the worst that could happen was that Bai Ye would scold him, but there were no other more severe punishment measures.

"Ji Yan, are you blackmailing me morally?" Bai Ye put down the dinner knife and said with a smile.

“No…” Park Ji-yeon was about to cry: “I really can’t think of any other solution! If you, Oppa, are not willing to save us, then we are doomed!”

"You get up and talk first."

"I...oh." Park Ji-yeon was very anxious, but still stood up obediently.

Bai Ye narrowed his eyes: "If you want to save Tara, it's not impossible..."

Park Ji-yeon said seriously: "As long as you can save us, I, Park Ji-yeon, will have a big pussy in the future!" (End of this chapter)
