Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 366 The Girls Take Action

Upon seeing Yu Dingyan's reply, Mingyan immediately felt refreshed and invigorated.

Teasing my second sister every day is good for my health and longevity.

Over the next few days, Mingyan was quite busy. "The King" was about to be officially released soon after the test screening, and the main cast and crew had to cooperate with the production team's activities.

"Minjung, are you alright?"

One morning, Mingyan looked at his listless niece and asked her with concern.

He didn't stop Kim Minjung's extreme weight loss plan so that the little guy could pass his monthly exam, since body management is very important for idols.

It is clear that you can now get your niece through by making a call or some other means.

However, after debuting, the public doesn't care about anything else. If you don't manage your figure properly, you will pay the price. Being scolded and losing popularity are the least of your worries. It would be more regrettable if years of hard work were wasted because of weight gain.

People can't teach others, but they can learn things once.

"I'm fine," Kim Minjung replied, his voice weak and listless.

The girl secretly vowed that after losing weight this time, she must learn from this lesson and never indulge her cravings!
Hmm... it's okay to indulge once in a while.

"Tsk, Minjung, it seems I was right to support you becoming a trainee." Mingyan gave his niece a thumbs up: "Your sister said back then that you definitely wouldn't be able to handle this hardship."

To put it bluntly, Mingyue was just feeling sorry for her daughter.

Seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls should be lively and cheerful at this age, but they can't eat or drink, which is really tough.

"That's right~ I'll definitely debut."

Kim Minjung always kept the support from her uncle in her heart; it was the first time she had been trusted by someone during such a major life decision.

This is very important for a young girl.

Mingyan nagged his niece a few more times: "After you pass the monthly exam, you need to remember this. From now on, eat normally, okay?"

"Okay, Uncle, I'm off now." Kim Minjung slung her backpack over her shoulder and rushed out the door; she had important business to attend to today.

When the girl arrived at the company, she saw Liu Zhimin and Ning Yizhuo huddled together, seemingly talking about something.

"Jimin unnie, Ningyiji, I have something to say..."

“Minjung unnie, you’ve come at the right time. Jimin unnie has something to say.”

Ning Yizhuo interrupted her.

Kim Minjung and Yoo Jimin exchanged glances. How come this older sister also had something to say? Surely it wasn't the same as theirs?

“Minjung, I bought three tickets to oppa’s movie. Let’s go together on the premiere day,” Yoo Jimin said with a smile. “It’ll be a good opportunity for us to rest. I’ve been so tired lately.”

SM Entertainment's idols are all in groups, so in addition to testing the trainees' individual singing and dancing skills, the monthly exams also encourage them to form their own groups and express themselves.

Since the last family concert material shoot, Yoo Jimin, Kim Minjung, and Ning Yizhuo have officially become a small group and often practice group dances.

As for Kim Chae-hyun...

The child was so disheartened that he hadn't practiced for a long time.

Kim Minjung once called to ask, and the answer he got was that he was too busy with school, implying that he was considering leaving the company.

The path to becoming a trainee is like taking a university exam; it's incredibly competitive, with thousands of people vying for limited spots. It's quite normal for close friends to be eliminated or replaced.

The little guy was upset for a few days because of his friend's experience, but he recovered quickly.

After all, they are all working hard to debut.

"Jimin unnie, you bought tickets too?" Kim Minjung didn't expect her words to come true: "I was thinking of inviting you guys to see my uncle's movie."

She's quite wealthy; besides the living expenses her mother gives her and the pocket money Mingyan gives her, she also has a so-called "grandfather's" card.

Being financially well-off provided a lot of help for Kim Min-jung in establishing herself at school and in the company in the early stages.

No one would refuse a classmate who's treating them to a meal.

Ning Yizhuo grinned and said, "Minjeong unnie, it's normal for Jimin unnie to support oppa. You should listen to your aunt, okay?"

Normally, Liu Zhimin would have blushed and argued back with her younger sister, but today she pretended not to hear anything and stared straight at Jin Minzheng.

"Ning Yiji, don't talk nonsense. Jimin unnie just wanted to thank her uncle for the gift he gave her last time."

Kim Minjung had her own logic. When the group returned from Jeju Island, it was clear that they hadn't just bought gifts for Yoo Jimin, but also for the girl's father, mother, and sister. The sister almost couldn't carry all the gifts.

"Okay, it's all for supporting oppa's movie anyway, so it doesn't matter."

……

"Manager unnie, I bought movie tickets, here they are for you~"

Kim Ji-soo's approach was much simpler and more direct.

She not only took the members to see the movie, but also gave movie tickets to the staff around her, ostensibly to reward everyone for their hard work.

Of course, the reward wasn't that simple; Jisoo also paid for the dinner after watching the movie.

In short, everyone had a great time.

"Thank you then." The agent didn't say anything more.

She could tell that her artist and Mingyan had a special relationship; otherwise, Kim Jisoo wouldn't have secretly gone out to meet that guy all the time, and Park Chaeyoung wouldn't have had to make up excuses to fool her.

How people get along is not something an agent can control; let's just hope nothing serious happens.

BLACKPINK has only been around for two years and is in the rising phase, so this news of them dating is not good news.

Sigh, I should really give Jisoo a proper talking-to when I have time.

Park Chaeyoung didn't think that much about it: "Jisoo unnie, won't we all be third wheels if we all go?"

The naive rose thought that at the premiere, Mingyan would be with Kim Jisoo.

“He has a lot of things to do.” Kim Jisoo hasn’t seen him much since the screening ended: “Of course I’m going to be with my dearest members.”

"Ah, I understand."

Park Chae-young's eyes sparkled.

Sure enough, childhood sweethearts are so endearing; even if her older sister doesn't know the truth, she'll still silently support her.

Kim Jisoo: What does she know?

……

"Nayeon unnie, is this a birthday present for me?"

Kim Da-hyun accepted the red envelope from Lim Na-yeon that was marked with the cost of a movie ticket, and asked with a smile.

"Of course not." Lim Nayeon leaned in and gave Kim Dahyun a quick kiss on her fair and smooth face. "This is the birthday present I'm giving you."

Upon witnessing this scene, Chou Tzu-yu instinctively took a few steps back.

Kim Da-hyun's birthday is in May, so she'll be next.

The girl already has a hard time dealing with Sana Minatozaki every day; if she were to attract Nayeon's attention as well, she'd be doomed.

Sana Minatozaki said with a playful look, "Dahyun, this isn't a gift from Nayeon unnie to you. It's a gift from Nayeon unnie to Myung-yeon oppa."

"Oh right, Mingyan oppa's movie is about to be released."

Kim Da-hyun slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "It suddenly dawned on me!"

Hirai Momo jumped up in a flash. Why was she slapping her thigh when she was supposed to be talking?

It hurts terribly.

"I've paid for the tickets, everyone should go see it!" Lim Nayeon didn't argue; it was just one step away from being a hit, so what was there to say?

It's only right that the members support their future brother-in-law.

Hirai Momo came to Yoo Jeongyeon's side: "Jeongyeon, let's go together when we have some free time."

"I... okay."

The second sister silently turned off her phone.

Oh well, I bought more tickets than I should have. They'll calculate the box office figures anyway.
