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

Chapter 464 A War of Public Opinion? No, it's Chen Yan's Harem Showing Off Their Unique Skills (Honeybee Moe 16)

Kim Tae-yeon took a screenshot of the message Song Ki-bum sent her, then forwarded it to Girls' Generation's group chat, and finally tagged everyone.

A reply came quickly in the group chat.

Tiffany: Wow, so what kind of content should we post?
Xiuying: Let me think of something more interesting.

Upon seeing this, Kim Tae-yeon immediately typed and sent a message: How about we do a chain reaction? Everyone post a caption, what do you think?
Tiffany: Sure, I think that's interesting.

Jessica: Have you already decided what to post?
Yuri: Tell me, boss, what do you want to send?

The others also expressed their agreement.

Kim Tae-yeon chuckled, replied "wait a moment," then logged out of Kakao, logged into her own SNS account, edited her post, and typed in the text she had just come up with.

Then click copy, go back to Kakao, and send this copy to the group.

I edit the post myself first, and then post it to the group. I do this to ensure that I am the first person to post, so that someone like Yoona won't accidentally steal the first spot.

She came up with the copy, so naturally she should be the first to post it.

A new message popped up in the group chat.

Li Sunny: This copywriting, hmm, not bad.

Yoona: It's really good.

In a moving van, Lim Yoona looked at the text that Kim Tae-yeon had just posted in the group chat on her phone screen, smiled, and then gave a comment along with Lee Soon-kyu.

This unnie probably came up with this copy after seeing Bae Suzy's post.

On the surface, she's supporting her man, but what she's really doing...
In short, this copywriting is indeed quite good.

Taeyeon: I've already posted it, hurry up and follow up!
Yoona: Received!
Jessica: Got it!
The online buzz hasn't died down yet, and netizens are now waiting to see if the musician who posted the comments about Chen Yan's work will respond.

After waiting and waiting, they didn't receive a response from the musician, but instead received an unexpected update from a group.

Many people received the same notification message almost simultaneously in their social networking app backgrounds.

[Tayeon—ss, whom you follow, has updated her status.]

The person who saw the message notification tapped on it, and the screen jumped to Kim Tae-yeon's SNS activity page.

After seeing Kim Tae-yeon's updated post, everyone was stunned for a moment.

Then, the heart that had calmed down a bit after eating the juicy gossip started beating excitedly again.

Kim Tae-yeon's latest update consists of a single line of text followed by a link.

I couldn't find any of musician nim's works, so I can't enjoy them, but I can enjoy Xiaoyan's works, which I think are great! [heart emoji]

Below the text is a link to Chen Yan's book, "I Got a Boy".

Daebu!

Everyone who was watching the drama online exclaimed in unison, "Wow!" after seeing this post.

Kim Tae-yeon actually posted an update to support Chen Yan. Was this her own decision, or was it approved by her company?

However, no sooner had this question arisen than a new situation emerged.

Jessica Jung, Yoona, and Soon-kyu
The remaining members of Girls' Generation updated their social media one after another, and the content was exactly the same as Kim Tae-yeon's.

Well, no need to say more, it was all planned out, and judging from the situation, it must have been approved by the company.

Then, the onlookers got excited again and started jumping around.

The nation's top girl group collectively stepped in to show their support.

and many more.

Have I seen a similar scene somewhere before?

Oh, I remembered it.

When Chen Yan first became famous, didn't Girls' Generation promote him in the same way, which sparked a lot of buzz and made him a hot celebrity producer?

This moment is equivalent to that moment back then.

Asi!

You deserve to die! You actually made Girls' Generation go to this extent for you!

I wonder what their reaction would be if they knew that Chen Yan was sitting on his sofa at home right now, with Kim Tae-yeon in his arms, watching them all gossip and make a ruckus online.

I bet everyone will instantly turn into a hater and hate on him to the core.

Unlike the excitement and thrill of onlookers, inside a photography studio in Gangnam District, Seoul, things were quite different.

Having just finished taking a set of photos, Bae Suzy was resting in a chair when she looked at Kim Tae-yeon's recently updated status on her phone screen, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

I went back to my homepage, looked at the post I had made criticizing that musician, and then went back to look at Kim Tae-yeon's posts.

The post from this senior feels somewhat similar to my own, as if it was written after seeing my post, or as if it was a response to my words.

Are you overthinking it?
Bae Suzy's rabbit eyes flickered, and she frowned slightly.

But if I'm not overthinking it...
On the phone screen, a tiny figure of Kim Tae-yeon suddenly appeared, made eye contact with the girl for two seconds, and then smiled sweetly.

"I've noticed you."

The girl seemed to hear Kim Tae-yeon's voice and shook her head violently.

The little figure of Kim Tae-yeon disappeared from the phone screen, leaving only a somewhat bewildered rabbit in its place.

impossible?

Her relationship with oppa only started to develop recently, so how could that senior know about it so quickly?

It couldn't have been oppa who confessed it himself, could it?

impossible.

What kind of scumbag is that?

Inside the practice room of f(x) on the artist practice room floor of SM Entertainment.

Five people who had just finished dance practice were sitting together, each looking down at their phones.

They noticed the situation online when they first joined the company.

However, without the company's permission, they cannot freely express their opinions on such matters, so they can only do what they are doing now: after finishing a dance practice, they check the situation online.

All five people looked somewhat worried.

Putting aside the fact that they already had a good relationship with Chen Yan, if Chen Yan's image is damaged this time, it will more or less have an impact on their comeback results.

Not to mention Taozi and Zheng Xiujing, who are closest to Chen Yan in the group; their eyebrows are almost touching.

"Hey, the company released an announcement supporting oppa, and Taeyeon unnie and the others also posted updates."

Peach's brow relaxed a little after seeing the latest updates online.

"Adu"

A message notification sounded, and a few seconds later, Song Qian looked up at her four younger sisters.

“Our agent said that the company allows us to post some updates in support of Xiaoyan, as long as we are careful not to post anything too outrageous.”

The group exchanged glances, their eyes finally settling on Peach's fair and adorable face.

Seeing this, Peach blinked and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Victoria Song gave her a speechless look: "This is your boyfriend. Think of a caption. If it's okay, we can post it together, just like Taeyeon and the others."

Amber and Luna nodded.

Although Krystal Jung was a little sensitive about the word "boyfriend," she tacitly accepted Victoria Song's statement.

"Oh, that's how it is."

Peach smiled sheepishly, pressing her index finger to her pink lips: "Let me think about it."

The girl looked thoughtful, and a few seconds later, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.

"Have it!"

"what?"

"Exactly." Soon, after listening to the copywriting that Taozi came up with, Song Qian and the others nodded thoughtfully.

"Sending it this way is definitely acceptable."

Krystal Jung glanced at Peach with a strange look in her eyes.

She felt that the copywriting this girl came up with was meant to show her neutral stance.

Peach noticed Krystal's gaze and returned a cheerful smile.

Two minutes later, led by Momo, all five members of f(x) posted the same message, just like Girls' Generation.

[I think Taeyeon unnie and Suzy are right, it's really hard to find musicians' works that we can't appreciate. But we've all really listened to the title track of our second full-length album that oppa wrote for us, it's really good! See you on July 29th.]

Online, netizens have once again discovered a new piece of gossip, and they are excitedly calling on their friends and family to rush to the location of the new gossip.

Okay, now it's f(x)'s turn to play.

Judging from this situation, EXO will probably be leaving the stage soon too.

As they expected, less than ten minutes later, all twelve members of EXO updated their social media, and their captions were all the same.

This indicates that Chen Yan's songs are very good, and it also makes fans look forward to the new song to be released on August 5th.

All three groups that SM Entertainment had previously collaborated with Chen Yan have stood up to support him, and all members of each group have participated.

This made many onlookers marvel at SM Entertainment's high regard for Chen Yan.

They were so impressed that at one point they even thought Chen Yan was a music producer at SM Entertainment, not JYP.

However, they certainly got to enjoy this gossip tonight. It's just a pity that the musician who commented on Chen Yan hasn't responded at all; it's like he's dead.

They thought they would see a spectacular online battle that would last for three days and three nights, but it turned out to be a one-sided affair.

At first, Chen Yan's fans and those unidentified passersby were evenly matched and fought back and forth.

However, after Bae Suzy posted an update and joined the fray, her fans also joined the battle, and those so-called bystanders were somewhat overwhelmed.

Moreover, there were the fates of groups like Girls' Generation and f(x) after them, and those people were instantly beaten senseless.

Indeed, this is probably the most prosperous battle the fans have ever fought. Looking around, they are surrounded by allies.

The final result was that the phrase "[Chen Yan appeared in June, July and August]" unsurprisingly topped Naver's trending list, followed by a bright red "Explosive" mark.

The second trending search term was "Chen Yan, a talented man packaged by JYP".

However, clicking on this entry reveals a symphony of birdsong and fragrant flowers, making it so enticing that you'll want to exit after a few seconds.

So, after a few hours of heated discussion, the online battle temporarily subsided.

As expected, Chen Yan gained another wave of popularity, with his SNS account having over 9 followers. Not only was his image not damaged, but he also gained recognition from more casual observers.

Just when the onlookers thought that the evening was basically over and they could leave, another protagonist closely related to Chen Yan suddenly made a dazzling appearance.

Lee Ji-eun suddenly updated her social media.

As my music arrangement teacher, I know very well whether oppa is talented or not. However, I have never studied with this musician, so I don't know if he has any real talent or skills.

Also, although my next album doesn't have any songs by oppa, oppa helped me a lot during the creative process, and he will also be in charge of recording this album, so please look forward to it!

The onlookers were a bit confused.

No, the battle was almost over before you arrived. Isn't that a bit late?

After realizing what was happening, they found it funny, so fans took the lead and flocked to Lee Ji-eun's comment section to tease her.

[Ahem. Uh, as PD Chen Yan's student, you're a bit late, aren't you? Is it possible that the two of you aren't actually that close in private?]

[The person upstairs is wrong. Their relationship isn't just not good, it's practically nonexistent. After class, they wouldn't exchange a single word in private.]

[Wow, IU and Chen PDnim actually know each other? I only found out today. IU is definitely a bit late.]

Looking at the comments in her comment section, Lee Ji-eun, who had just finished filming and was resting in a chair, pouted.

If she hadn't recognized these people's IDs and known they were her die-hard fans, she would have really thought that fans from other groups had come here specifically to be sarcastic and mean to her.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She turned her head and glared at her manager, Pei Zhonghan, standing next to her.

"Junghan oppa, it's all your fault! Why didn't you tell me about oppa sooner?"

Bae Jung-han looked innocent: "Ji-eun, you were the one who said that the scenes we were filming tonight were very important, and that I shouldn't disturb you while I was resting, so as not to get you out of character."

"Besides, I've been keeping an eye on the online activity. I know Chen Yanxi will be fine, that's why I didn't tell you."

"Hmph, whatever, it's all your fault, oppa."

Lee Ji-eun activates her innate skill, "Unreasonable".

Pei Zhonghan seemed to have gotten used to this situation and immediately shut his mouth.

She pouted at him again, then turned her gaze back to her phone screen and pursed her lips.

You should go and explain to oppa; she didn't intentionally post the update so late.

A war of public opinion has ended, leaving the internet in ruins, with many participants still recounting the grand spectacle to those who came after.

In Girls' Generation's dorm room, Lee Soon-kyu, who was alone in her room tonight, sat leaning against the headboard, shaking her head and smiling as she looked at the comments from netizens online.

What kind of extraordinary connections does a romance novel have that allow multiple forces to step in and offer their support?

As someone who's always been on the front lines observing the drama, she can only say that these people only saw the surface, not the essence.

Do you think this is just an ordinary war of words?

wrong.

This is Xiaoyan's harem members showing off their unique talents!

Bae Suzy fired the first shot.

With Taeyeon, the queen of the harem, joining in, the underlying meaning of the text is clearly a reminder to Bae Suzy: I've noticed you.

Then there's Peach, a neutral party member, who used the copywriting to express her neutral stance.

Finally, there's Lee Ji-eun, who arrived late and missed the battle, but she still expressed her feelings for Xiao Yan.

Lee Ji-eun: How did I end up last? Why is Suzy ahead of me?!
but
Looking at the comments online, Lee Soon-kyu frowned.

Xiaoyan won this time, but that doesn't mean the matter is over.

The so-called musician hasn't responded all night, probably because he saw the overwhelmingly negative public opinion online and chose to stay away for now.

But if he has another chance in the future, he might jump out again at any time.

The most recent one should be when Girl's Day released her new song on June 24th.

If that song doesn't perform well, then it will be another opportunity for the other party to jump out again.

I believe many people, including Xiaoyan herself, are aware of this, so everything depends on how things go after the song is released on the 24th.

Turning to look out the window, Lee Soon-kyu's eyes showed a hint of worry.

She was genuinely worried about Chen Yan.

When it comes to grades, nobody can predict the outcome.

Chen Yan did know that the release of Girl's Day's new song on June 24th was a very important event for him.

However, he wasn't too worried because he was confident in the songs he wrote.

He continued his normal workday, going to work and leaving get off work, and busy writing songs for Lee Sunmi.

Three more days passed quickly, and it was now the evening of June 23rd.

Girl's Day's new song will be released at midnight, and many people are paying close attention to its release, both openly and secretly.

At this somewhat tense moment, in front of a coffee shop in Gangnam District, Seoul.

Two figures wearing black face masks arrived at the coffee shop entrance almost one after the other.

Upon seeing each other, they both paused in surprise, clearly recognizing one another.

Then they both spoke at the same time: "You/Unnie, what are you doing here?"
