Peninsula: The Great Producer

Chapter 150 Kara, Goo Hara
Jiangnan, an old apartment.

In the eyes of ordinary people, people who can live in an apartment in Gangnam area in Seoul, a city where every inch of land is valuable, are already successful people.

Kara, a girl idol group that debuted three years ago and is owned by DSP Entertainment, has their dormitory located in this old apartment.

Kara, who is preparing for her second full-length album, has been spending all her time in the practice room except for recording a few regular variety shows.

The reason why idols at this stage are said to have strong professional skills may be related to the fact that the angles of each dance move must be consistent, so spending a lot of time in the practice room dancing the same dance will form muscle memory.

It's a rare occasion that all the Kara members got off work at 6pm this evening.

They were exhausted, but no one returned to the dormitory immediately.

Among the members, Nicole, who came back from Country M, took everyone to a restaurant for dinner. The restaurant was opened by Nicole's mother, and there was also a barbecue restaurant.

Parents are very worried about their children. They prepare a table full of delicious food for fear that their children will not eat well. The members also have to manage their figure while preparing for their comeback. Faced with the strongest spear and shield, food is more important when the agent is not around.

Not daring to eat more, the members returned to the dormitory and went back to their rooms.

Although the dormitory is located in Jiangnan, the previously built apartment only had two bedrooms in an area of about 100 square meters.

There are five members in Kara, and two bedrooms are obviously not enough.

Among them, Goo Hara and Nicole share a bedroom.

Goo Hara sleeps on the bunk bed on the left side of the bedroom, and Nicole sleeps on the single bed on the right side.

Goo Hara always sleeps on the lower bunk, and the upper bunk is basically used to store things.

From the restaurant to the dormitory, Nicole was curious about the new program Goo Hara would participate in tomorrow.

Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Nicole was still asking Goo Hara, "Will we find out what kind of show it is when we meet tomorrow?"

Goo Hara nodded and said, "I think he should know, but I think if it's a talk show recorded indoors, there's no need to arrange a separate meeting. It should be an outdoor variety show."

Nicole raised an eyebrow. "Outdoors? Something like 'New Journey to the West' and 'Three Meals a Day'?"

Goo Hara said as she adjusted her blanket, "I'm not sure, but that PDnim's variety shows are all outdoor-themed."

Nicole looked up at the ceiling, not knowing what she was imagining as she sighed, "It should be fun. It feels very healing and happy. It's not as depressing as Starking. Every time I make eye contact with Kang Ho Dong-nim, I feel like I'm done for."

Goo Hara turned around and sat on the edge of the bed and said jokingly, "Ouni, please don't say that casually. Kang Ho Dong-nim is also a guest on that PD-nim show. If Kang Ho Dong-nim finds out, Ouni will be finished."

Nicole slapped her mouth in fear.

Goo Hara laughed and said, "Do you believe everything I say, unnie?"

Nicole pouted and sat on the bed, looking at Goo Hara across from her. "So, we'll know who's going to be recording the show tomorrow too?"

Goo Hara hummed and said to Nicole, "Actually, I'm also curious about who I'll be appearing on the show with. The staff who contacted my agent today didn't tell me about this, but I did ask him about the progress of my visa and passport preparations."

Nicole suddenly clapped her hands and said excitedly, "Yes, I was also thinking about this. It's about the outdoor variety show, and it's recorded overseas. I almost forgot the most important thing."

Goo Hara didn't know what Nicole was so excited about, and then she heard Nicole ask, "Didn't you feel anything when you were recording Starking the day before yesterday?"

Goo Hara, with a puzzled expression, answered Nicole's question about what she should feel.

Nicole said seriously, "No one talked to you about that PDnim new show?"

Spreading her hands, Goo Hara asked Nicole, "Ouni, besides the members, no one else knows that I'm going to be on the new show, right? There's no news about it, and the company hasn't announced any recording schedule."

Nicole patted her forehead again, grinning foolishly and muttering, "I'm so stupid, it seems no one knows."

After muttering, Nicole continued, "I guess the person recording the new show with you is among the cast of Starking."

Goo Hara curiously asked Nicole why she guessed that. Nicole analyzed, "Think about it, if you're invited to appear on a new show or go overseas, it's bound to be a female performer, right?"

"As for female performers, variety shows usually bring together people from the same industry, which makes it easier to attract attention and create a good visual experience."

"If they're in the same industry, they'd be idols or solo female singers."

"The chances of being a senior-nim are slim, so I guess besides you, there should be Girls' Generation, After School, Davichi, Storm, Black Pearl, 2NE1, and the newly debuted 4Minute is also a possibility."

"Davichi's Kang Min Kyung Xi also starred in the TV series 'Brilliant Inheritance'. She's the most likely candidate. Then, as for you, I don't know about Girls' Generation. It seems like everyone has a strong sense of artistry. It's hard to choose, really hard."

Goo Hara reminded Nicole: "I don't think you need to choose this one."

Nicole burst into laughter again and waved her hands, "Yeah, you don't need me to choose. Anyway, since we're filming tomorrow, shouldn't we be ready now?"

"Prepare?"

"Yeah, we're going overseas for a shoot tomorrow. Don't you want to bring a change of clothes, skincare products, vitamins, and ramen? You definitely have to bring ramen, right?"

Nicole had a strong execution ability. She stood up and walked to Goo Hara, tiptoed, made a strong "hmm" sound, and took a suitcase down from the upper bunk.

After stretching his waist and muttering, "Oh my god, my waist," he opened the suitcase and started collecting things to put in the suitcase in the room.

It's very detailed and thoughtful. If you don't know, you might think it's a mother preparing things for her daughter to use for school.

Goo Hara couldn't persuade the enthusiastic Nicole, and in the end she could only pack the luggage with Nicole.

It lasted from around 8 o'clock in the evening until almost 11 o'clock.

Nicole was satisfied, and Goo Hara gave her a thumbs up and said, "Really, I don't know who will be so lucky to marry Unnie in the future. Unnie is the real good wife and mother."

Nicole happily confirmed: "Me? A good wife and mother? Oh, I don't count."

"Well, Ouni can cook, organize things, and take care of others. She's the epitome of a good wife and mother."

Nicole was really embarrassed.

Goo Hara said: "Wait, why are you being shy, isn't it possible that you already have someone you're dating?"

"No, I didn't."

"No? Then there must be someone who likes you."

Nicole waved her hands repeatedly: "No, really."

Goo Hara changed her approach and asked, "Then there are some people that you think are handsome, right?"

This time, Nicole's answer was different. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Lee Joon-gi, sunbae, nim? He was so handsome at the concert."

Goo Hara was stunned for three seconds, then she reacted and said, "What? Did you go to see Lee Joon-gi's concert? When? Why didn't we know about it?"

Nicole stammered, "It was in April."

"Ah, that time when unnie said she wanted to go home one day? Didn't she say she missed her aunt so much and wanted to go home to be with her? So Lee Joon-gi sunbaenim is your aunt?"

"Shh, keep your voice down."

"What do you mean, keep your voice down? Is there some other story between you and Lee Joon-gi sunbaenim?"

At this moment, Goo Hara's gossip spirit awakened. She quickly sat next to Nicole and put her arm around her to prevent her from moving. With that momentum, she had to say something tonight.
