Peninsula: It’s just a dream, are you serious?

Chapter 413 Sexy Style

The next morning.

At an intersection in Seoul, a car pulls into the intersection as the yellow light turns red.

Chen Yan lightly applied the brakes, and the car came to a steady stop.

I casually picked up my phone from the small compartment next to me and glanced at the time.

The next second, a message pop-up appeared on the phone screen along with a notification sound.

After seeing who sent the message, Chen Yan smiled gently.

Clicking the pop-up window will immediately redirect your phone to Kakao's chat interface.

A girl's selfie caught my eye; her face, full of collagen, radiated a smile brighter than the morning sun.

Peach [heart]: Good morning, oppa~
Peach [Heart]: I went to the company this morning to practice the dance for the new album, and now I'm already in the van.

First, he replied with an emoji that he had received, and then Chen Yan replied with a text message: Take care and get some rest, don't overwork yourself.

Peach [heart emoji]: Okay~ I'll take good care of myself~ [sends heart emoji]

The pleasant atmosphere emanating from the words made Chen Yan smile again, and he couldn't help but think of the messages that Little Peach had sent him last night.

Five demands offset one, leaving four.

When he saw that sentence, he was stunned for a moment before he understood.

So that's how you use that birthday present.

But when he asked Peach later, the girl replied, "Oppa, figure it out yourself. I'm not giving you an answer."

This answer left him both amused and exasperated; he even had a brief bout of insomnia last night because of it.

As his thoughts gradually returned to normal, Chen Yan chuckled softly.

Regardless of whether it's what he thinks it means or not, as long as he doesn't act recklessly, it's fine.

Seeing that there were still a few seconds left on the red light, Chen Yan replied to Taozi's message, put down his phone, and then started the car and drove across the intersection.

The car drove into JYP's underground parking garage, parked in a space, and the driver got out and walked towards the elevator.

As I stepped into the elevator, two familiar figures came into view.

Lee Sunmi and her manager, who were waiting for the elevator, turned around when they heard footsteps. Upon seeing Chen Yan, they quickly smiled and bowed to greet him.

"Hello PDnim".

"Hello."

Chen Yan smiled and returned the greeting: "What a coincidence, we met here last time too."

As he spoke, his gaze unconsciously swept over the girl in front of him.

Today, Lee Sunmi wore a simple white T-shirt, but she cleverly tied a knot at the waist, revealing a glimpse of her fair skin, which was eye-catching.

Even more eye-catching than the glimpse of white skin around her waist were the girl's two long, gleaming white legs with excellent lines, exposed to the air because of her denim shorts.

Although her outfit wasn't as sophisticated as when they last met, her naturally eye-catching legs and alluringly fair face gave her a captivating charm.

Chen Yan's gaze lingered on those long legs for two seconds before he looked away and turned to look at Li Xuanmei's bright eyes.

Lee Sunmi, who was standing next to her, also noticed the gaze that was looking at her legs.

Seeing that he merely admired her for a moment and then looked away, just like when they first met, my impression of PD Chen improved even more. I smiled and replied:

"Isn't that a coincidence? Does PDnim come to the company at this time every day?"

However, Chen Yan shook his head: "No, I won't come on the weekend. I'll be sleeping in at home on the weekend."

His answer was serious, but the smile in his eyes added a touch of humor.

After a brief moment of surprise, Lee Sunmi came to her senses and couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, I understand."

This Chen PDnim seems quite different from the other producers in the company.

"Ding"

The elevator arrived at the floor and the doors slowly opened. The three of them stepped into the elevator.

Chen Yan reached out and pressed the button for his work floor, then turned to look at Li Xuanmei.

"Which floor is Xuanmei going to?"

"Third floor, I'm going to the practice room, thanks PDnim."

Lee Seonmi quickly replied.

"You're welcome."

Reaching out, Chen Yan pressed the button for the third floor and casually asked, "Is Xuanmei here to practice so early?"

Lee Sunmi raised her hand and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear: "I neglected a lot of my basic skills because of my studies. Now that I'm preparing for my solo debut, I thought I'd come to the company to practice a little more."

Chen Yan nodded knowingly.

To be fair, the artists from Peninsula Entertainment are truly impeccable in terms of professional skills.

However, when solo was mentioned, he suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Lee Sunmi, and just stared at the girl's face without saying a word.

Seeing this, Li Xuanmei nervously clenched her hand holding the bag, but dared not speak for a moment.

Fortunately, Chen Yan spoke up again quickly, looking at her with a smile and asking, "Xuanmei-xi, if solo requires you to take a more mature and sexy route, can you accept that?"

"what?"

Lee Sunmi was taken aback by the sudden solo-style question.

The elevator reached the third floor, and the elevator doors slowly opened.

"Should we go outside and talk about it?"

Chen Yan gestured for Lee Sunmi and her manager to exit the elevator first before they could talk.

"okay."

The two quickly responded and followed him out of the elevator.

Chen Yan didn't intend to have a deep conversation, but he suddenly thought of it and decided to mention it to Lee Sunmi first, since he was in charge of the girl's upcoming solo album.

This will also be the first time he has independently produced an entire album, including the album's style and positioning, all of which he has overseen.

After glancing at Lee Sunmi, Chen Yan said with a smile, "I think Sunmi-ssi, your overall appearance is very suitable for a more mature and sexy style."

Then he added, "But I'm not talking about the suggestive kind of sexiness; I mean the kind that confidently shows off a healthy physique."

"Oh, I think I understand PDnim."

Lee Seonmi nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

She wasn't unaware of the current state of the music industry.

"This is also my own idea. There are quite a few audiences for this style in the market now, so Sunmi-xi can consider it."

"Okay, thank you, PDnim. I'll think about it carefully."

Lee Seon-mi bowed in thanks.

Chen Yan smiled and nodded, then turned and pressed the elevator button again. Less than a minute later, the elevator doors opened again.

Chen Yan said goodbye to the two and entered the elevator.

The elevator doors closed slowly and then went up.

Lee Sunmi then turned to her manager and asked in confusion, "Unnie, has Chen PDnim already decided on the style of my solo album? Was he just asking casually?"

This is very normal in the industry. Idol singers, especially those who are not very popular, don't have much say in their choices.

The company and music producers decide on a style for you, and you have no choice but to follow it. Although they may sometimes symbolically ask for the artist's opinion, whether or not it is adopted in the end is still decided by their word.

The agent frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"It shouldn't be. PDnim probably just briefly mentioned it to you first, letting you think about it yourself. Based on what I've heard at the company, he's not that kind of person."

"Oh."

“But since PDnim said that, he must think you are indeed suitable for that style. Sunmi, you should think about it carefully.”

Lee Seonmi nodded, then looked thoughtful.

Should I try practicing some dances with a more sensual style first, and then see how it goes?

Upon arriving at their work floor, Chen Yan greeted Cui Minhe and the others, then sat down at their workstations and turned on their computers.

The song he wrote for Girl's Day is mostly finished. His task this morning was to finalize some details of the song and then send it to Dream Tea Entertainment.

After getting up and getting a cup of water from the tea room, Chen Yan quickly got back to work.

Nearly two hours later, seeing the message "email sent successfully" displayed on his computer screen, Chen Yan stretched and let out a soft sigh of relief.

This song, whose creation process was somewhat bumpy, is finally finished.

With a smile on his face, Chen Yan reached for the water glass next to him and took a sip.

I put down my water glass and then scrolled through my mouse to look at the song I had just finished, which I named "Something".

This song is the first song he wrote with a sexy style, because the title track "Expectation" from Girl's Day's first full-length album is also a sexy song.

The four members danced a strapless dance in the music video, showcasing their healthy and energetic side. In the current market where this style is very popular, they gained a lot of popularity, and the group is considered to be somewhat famous.

Therefore, for the title track of this reissue of the first full-length album, Chen Yan plans to continue this style once again.

Last time, Lee Jong-suk, the president of Dream Tea Entertainment, called and expressed his desire for him to create a song that was as close as possible to the style of the first full-length album.

As for whether Dream Tea Entertainment would be satisfied with the song "Something," he felt there shouldn't be much of a problem.

Looking at the finished product in the music production software, Chen Yan couldn't help but think of the girl he had met at the elevator earlier, and he chuckled softly.

If Lee Sunmi chooses to accept his suggestion and go for a sexy style, then he can be considered to have gained some experience.

After finishing his work, and seeing that it was almost time to leave work in the morning, Chen Yan simply leaned back comfortably in his chair and started scrolling through his phone, openly slacking off.

It wasn't until it was time to leave work that he got up and walked towards the cafeteria with Choi Minhyuk and the others.

After finishing lunch, he rested at his workstation for a while. When he realized it was almost time, he got up and drove to the underground parking garage, where he left the company.

Yesterday, Apink's song "NONONO" was still partially recorded. He and ACUBE had agreed to continue recording at 2 PM.

Driving to the vicinity of ACUBE Company, Chen Yan got out of the car and walked into the company building. After greeting the receptionist, he took the elevator to the third floor with ease.

The same assistant from yesterday led him to the recording studio.

"The members of Apink will be here soon, please wait a moment, PDnim."

"okay, I get it."

The assistant turned and left. Chen Yan checked the equipment and found that it was the same as the one he had set up, so there was no need to adjust it again.

So I sat in front of the recording booth, scrolling through my phone while waiting for Apink and the others to come over.

Less than two minutes later, there was a knock on the recording studio door.

After Chen Yan responded, the door was pushed open, and Jung Eun-ji poked her head in, chuckling.

"Hey hey, good afternoon, oppa."

Chen Yan returned a smile: "Good afternoon."

The door opened, and the six members of Apink walked in.

The group was about to bow and greet each other when Chen Yan raised his hand to stop them.

"We know each other, no need for all this."

He looked at Yoon Bo-mi: "Bo-mi, get ready, we're going in to record a song in a bit."

"Ok."

Yoon Bo-mi nodded, picked up the lyrics sheet, and went to the side to prepare.

The others also went to sit on the sofa and went about their own business.

Only Jung Eun-ji, who had already finished recording her song yesterday, walked up to Chen Yan with a smile.

"Oppa, may I sit next to you?"

The girl looked at the equipment in front of her with her smiling, curved eyes, full of curiosity.

Chen Yan nodded: "Have a seat."

Jung Eun-ji happily sat down in the chair next to Chen Yan.

Looking at the smiling girl, Chen Yan casually asked, "Don't you have any other plans this afternoon?"

Jung Eunji shook her head: "No, we're not very popular and don't have many schedules. Before, we usually did some commercial performances, but we had to cancel a lot of them because we were preparing for our comeback, so now we basically practice at the company every day."

Chen Yan nodded and replied with a smile, "Don't worry, your popularity will only increase. I have confidence in my songs and in you. This comeback will be a great success."

Others wouldn't dare say it, but he did.

It's because there are two reborn individuals in his family, and they often talk about related topics when chatting at home.

Apink is known as the "shining light of three generations" by later generations.

However, according to Lim Yoona, Apink was buried due to frequent changes in the company, missing out on several years of golden development.

If the opportunity arises in the future, we might try to take them over.

Hearing Chen Yan's words, Jung Eun-ji's smiling eyes curved even more: "Yes, we also have a lot of confidence in the song oppa wrote. Oppa is really amazing."

After saying that, the two exchanged a knowing smile.

After chatting for a while, Yoon Bo-mi, who was ready, walked into the recording studio, and the afternoon recording officially began.

The recording of the song "NONONO" was finally completed after several hours, around 6 p.m.

After saying goodbye to the six members of Apink, Chen Yan got into his car and went straight home.

For the next few days, Chen Yan continued to live a simple life between home and the company.

In the evening, I feed the lambs grass, give the deer some water, water the peaches, and then play with the new cat that came into the house. Life is simple yet very comfortable.

Just like that, a few days passed in the blink of an eye.

May 15th arrived quickly, which was Lee Soon-kyu's birthday.
