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

Chapter 582 Oppa, the recording studio has excellent soundproofing.

The following evening, in a recording studio at JYP.

Chen Yan was sitting in front of the computer next to the recording console, staring intently at something.

At that moment, the door to the recording studio was slowly pushed open from the outside.

A pure and fair face appeared at the door. After seeing Chen Yan sitting there, the girl smiled secretly, tiptoed in, and closed the door very quietly.

But before she could turn around, a voice rang out behind her.

"What are you up to, acting so suspiciously?"

Bae Soo-ji's pupils contracted, and she turned around to see Chen Yan looking at her with a mocking smile.

She pouted: "Tch, this is boring. I haven't even started anything yet, and you've already found out, oppa."

"You were just trying to scare me, weren't you?"

Chen Yan smiled at her, then glanced at her again.

The girl's outfit today was clearly her casual everyday style: a khaki down jacket wrapped around her, with a white sweatshirt underneath.

He wore white trousers and white chunky sneakers on his lower body.

Her seemingly ordinary attire, set against her pure and bright face, possessed a unique elegance.

The saying that fashion is all about looks has been proven once again.

"Oppa, you won't be scared."

Walking over to Chen Yan, Bae Suzy glanced at the computer screen and asked, "Oppa, what are you looking at?"

"I'm looking at the script for the music video of 'some'. We're going to shoot it in a couple of days, so I thought I'd take another look and familiarize myself with it."

Chen Yan replied with a smile.

The release of "Some" is progressing rapidly and efficiently, and he and Bae Suzy are here tonight to record the song.

The music video will officially begin filming in a couple of days.

"Hehe~"

The rabbit laughed upon hearing this.

Filming a music video with her own oppa? It's a job that she'd be willing to work overtime for. Just thinking about it makes me excited.

"Oppa, are you nervous? Don't worry, the plot is very simple, I'll take you with me."

Bae Suzy patted her small chest, looking smug.

"Then I'll have to ask Suzy to take good care of you then."

Chen Yan echoed this sentiment.

However, he wasn't too worried, as the plot of the music video was indeed very simple.

The main story revolves around a male and female protagonist who secretly love each other, arrange to meet, and eventually succeed in meeting.

Most of the music video consists of the two texting each other, so the filming wasn't too difficult. Chen Yan only needed to express his emotions through simple facial expressions.

As the two were chatting, the door to the recording studio was pushed open again, and Park Jin-young walked in with a smile.

"Xiaoyan and Xiuzhi, what are you talking about?"

“Brother Zhenying”.

“PDnim”.

The two greeted him separately, and Chen Yan replied, "Suzy and I are talking about the script for the 'Some' music video."

"Oh."

Park Jin-young nodded in realization and patted Chen Yan on the shoulder with a smile.

"This must be your first time shooting a music video, Xiaoyan, right?"

"No, that's not it. I just filmed the music video for 'Friday' with Ji-eun a while ago."

The song "Meet on Friday" also has a music video. Fortunately, it wasn't too difficult to film, otherwise, given his terrible acting skills, it would have been really hard to film and might have even delayed the schedule.

Upon hearing this, Bae Suzy on the other side secretly curled her lip.

Oh right, oppa already filmed a music video with IU unnie.

Damn it, how did I get beaten to it again for no reason?

Park Jin-young couldn't help but tease, "How come your first collaborations, Xiao Yan, aren't with artists from our own company? Both the songs and the music videos are."

Bae Suzy's inner thoughts: "That's right, that's right."

Chen Yan smiled and said, "It's all just a coincidence."

After chatting for a while, the three of them started preparing for their song recordings.

Park Jin-young came over to help Chen Yan record the song "Some".

Since Chen Yan is going to sing the male part, the recording will naturally have to be handled by another recording engineer.

He mentioned this to Park Jin-young a couple of days ago, and the guy just laughed and took on the recording job.

A dozen minutes later, Chen Yan and Bae Suzy finished singing in the recording studio.

The two stood in front of the microphone and gestured to Park Jin-young outside, indicating that they were ready.

Park Jin-young nodded and began recording.

The drum intro of "Some" immediately started playing in the headphones, and two seconds later, Chen Yan hit the beat precisely.

"Sometimes I get inexplicably irritable."

My feelings for you haven't changed at all.

Just as he was about to continue singing, Park Jin-young called for a stop.

"Xiao Yan, there's nothing wrong with your pitch, intonation, and emotion. It's just that when you sing, could you add a bit more airiness, a feeling of half true voice and half airiness? That would be the best."

Chen Yan was slightly taken aback, then smiled helplessly and said, "Brother Zhenying, I haven't learned our company's vocal techniques before, and there's no time to learn them now. How about we leave it at that for now?"

Park Jin-young, standing outside, also realized that Chen Yan lacked formal training in this area. He opened his mouth to speak, but in the end, he could only compromise and say:
"Okay, let's do this for now."

Then, seemingly a little reluctantly, he added, "But Xiaoyan, you can learn it when you have time later; it will help improve your singing skills."

Chen Yan naturally nodded in agreement: "Okay, I understand."

Hearing their conversation, Bae Suzy covered her mouth and chuckled.

This was the first time she had ever seen someone get Park Jin-young to give up correcting his singing style in the recording studio.

After a few adjustments, recording resumed.

After that, Park Jin-young stopped worrying about the airiness in Chen Yan's singing and instead focused on the emotional aspects.

But when it came to Bae Suzy, it was a completely different story.

"Suzy, you're not quite there enough of an airy feel."

"Yes, I'm sorry, PDnim."

“Take a break, Suzy, this line is a little less airy.”

"Yes, I'll be careful, PDnim."

Chen Yan, watching from the side, almost burst out laughing.

The most important thing about JYP artists is that they're practically invisible.

"Okay, let's stop here for today. We'll continue another day. Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoyan and Xiuzhi."

Nearly three hours later, seeing that it was getting late, Park Jin-young called a halt to the recording.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Zhenying."

"PDnim, take care."

Seeing Park Jin-young leave the recording studio, Bae Suzy breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Chen Yan smiled, turned around, grabbed a bottle of water from the table, opened it, and handed it to her.

"Thank you for your hard work, Suzy."

Bae Suzy took the water and pouted slightly: "I still feel most comfortable when oppa is recording for us."

"Hmm? So you're saying I still have selfish motives towards you, and haven't completely separated public and private matters?"

"Tch~ oppa is also very strict with me, okay? He also requires me to have the right sense of airiness, but he just gives me a very gentle feeling."

Our own oppa and PDnim, just their faces give off a completely different vibe, okay?

Of course, those who are obsessed with good looks adore Chen Yan. "I can't help it, if I'm not gentle with you, I'm afraid you'll come and bite me afterwards."

Reaching out, Chen Yan wrapped his arm around the girl's soft waist and gently pinched her smooth cheek.

However, he does make sure to meet all the requirements when recording songs, even if the person recording is Bae Suzy.

The "air half" singing style has actually become a symbol of JYP, and a characteristic that distinguishes JYP artists from artists of other companies. Losing this feature is not a good thing.

The girl wrinkled her nose cutely at her oppa, then remembered something else.

"Oppa, the song you collaborated on with IU is going to be released on the 20th, right?"

"Yes, midnight on the 20th."

Bae Suzy pouted; "Sigh, my unnie will definitely come to me to brag again, saying that her song with oppa was released first, and that she filmed the MV with you first."

When she spoke, she deliberately adopted a sarcastic tone, which made Chen Yan chuckle.

However, he still adhered to his consistent policy of not interfering.

Moreover, these two have always had this love-hate relationship, and they seem to enjoy it.

All he could do at that moment was bend down and give the rabbit a kiss.

And then the kiss just wouldn't stop.

It had been almost half a month since the two last met, and Bae Suzy naturally missed Chen Yan.

The soft, rustling kisses stopped after a while.

With her slightly moist rabbit-like eyes, Bae Suzy glanced at the large hand that had slipped into her clothes, then at the short sofa not far away, and pursed her equally moist lips.

“Oppa, actually the recording studio is very soundproof, isn’t it?”

Chen Yan was taken aback for a moment.

The girl immediately glared at him: "Oppa, isn't this the kind of thing you like?"

"Snapped"

Her pert bottom immediately took a solid hit.

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't say that."

"But oppa, you seem really excited."

She could feel the growing heat between them.

"Forehead"

Forget it, I can't argue with her, I'd better just shut her up and stop her from saying anything more.

"click"

A moment later, the sound of the door being locked echoed in the somewhat quiet recording studio.

After another while, light music started playing in the recording studio again, and the volume was turned up quite loud, enough to drown out everything else.

After a light and cheerful intro, the singing began.

"Little bunny, open the door."

Time flies, and almost another week has passed. It's already the 19th.

In the past few days, not only have the family members become increasingly busy, but Chen Yan himself has also been caught up in a flurry of activity.

The song "Some" has been completed, and the music video was filmed in three days.

In addition, he accompanied Park Jin-young to visit a judge on the Golden Disc Awards committee.

That morning, Chen Yan pushed open the office door and sat down at his desk.

"Adu"

He had just turned on his computer when his phone suddenly beeped with a message notification.

I picked up my phone; it was a message from Lee Ji-eun.

Ji-eun-chan who loves spanking: [Image.jpg]

I love spanking Ji-eun: You're trending on Weibo this morning, oppa~
Clicking on the image reveals a screenshot of Naver's trending topics list.

The first and second entries are both related to him.

1. [IU Chen Yan's "Friday Meeting", "Palette", and "Nagging"]

2. [IU and Chen Yan release three collaborative songs in a row]

Upon seeing these two terms, Chen Yan raised an eyebrow.

His new song with IU is indeed going to be released at midnight tonight.

Actually, it wasn't just today; the two artists' new song had been trending on the hot search list from time to time for the past few days.

JYP and LOEN both put in a lot of effort in promoting the new song.

The two companies, whose relationship had improved considerably, also collaborated on this matter.

However, this is the first time today that something has topped the trending list so early in the morning, and even occupied the first and second positions.

It should be the result of the effective publicity and preparation beforehand, coupled with the popularity of Lee Ji-eun and Chen Yan themselves, and the support from both companies, a combined effort from all three parties.

Chen Yan typed a reply: It's all thanks to Zhi En. Thank you Zhi En for taking me to new heights.

Ji-eun-chan who loves spanking: Hehe~ You're welcome.

The two chatted back and forth until Lee Ji-eun's event was about to begin, at which point they stopped talking.

Putting down his phone, Chen Yan turned to look at the computer screen.

Open Naver's official website, click on the top trending topic, and the first post is a countdown image of Lee Ji-eun's new song with pink hair.

Scroll down to the comments section.

[Urgent! There are still 15 hours left! This is agonizing! Can we speed things up today?]

[I'm so excited! I've listened to the preview versions of "Friday Meetup" and "Palette," and they're both great! And "Nagging" too—it feels different from the live concert version.]

I'm pacing anxiously in Busan. It's finally about to be released, but there are still more than ten hours to go!

[I was really looking forward to this! I was a little upset before because PD Chen and IU are such good friends, why didn't he write songs for IU? But now there are three duet songs all at once, it's such a big surprise!]

[Upstairs, you don't understand. It's not that PD Chen doesn't write songs for IU; it's that IU is capable of writing songs herself. PD Chen's role is more about nurturing IU, but when it's time to step in, he doesn't hesitate—the three duet songs are proof of that.]

[That's right, it's not that PD Chen isn't taking care of IU, it's clearly favoritism! You know, the first time PD Chen sang a duet with someone was with IU! Before singing "Nagging," we didn't even know PD Chen could sing. Now he's doing three duets with her, it's obvious he's showing favoritism towards IU.]

Chen Yan couldn't help but smile upon seeing this comment.

Fans really do their own reading comprehension exercises.

He strongly suspects that this fan also has a side of being a fan of his and Lee Ji-eun's (IU) CP (couple pairing).

I scrolled down and read the comments for a while; almost all of them expressed anticipation for the song.

A moment later, Chen Yan closed the Naver website and quickly immersed herself in creating the title track for Girls' Generation's album.

Time flew by and it was midnight.

When the clock struck midnight, people all over the peninsula, glued to their computers or phones, immediately began searching for new songs on the peninsula's major music streaming websites.

They searched directly for the album title – "Modern Times".

This time there are three new songs all at once; searching for them one by one is too slow.

After an icon for a reissued album popped up on the page, they all clicked on it.

The first three songs are the new tracks included in the reissued album: "Palette", "Friday Meeting", and "Nagging".

Click on "palette" to start playing the audio, then leave a comment below.

Then comes "Friday Meetup," the audio is played, and we check in.

Finally, there's "Nagging".

As time went on, the number of comments in the comment sections of all three songs increased rapidly.

Online, the three hashtags 【IU Chen Yan's "Friday Meeting"】, 【IU Chen Yan's "Palette"】, and 【IU Chen Yan's new song is so good】 quickly climbed to the top of Naver's trending list within half an hour of the music's release.

A wave of enthusiasm sparked by Chen Yan and Li Zhi'en gradually began to sweep across the entire internet.

However, what no one expected was that just a few hours later, when the craze started by the two of them was at its peak...

Another wave of enthusiasm followed, and it wasn't just limited to the internet and music scene, but swept across the entire peninsula.
