Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 226 IZ*ONE disbands
The farewell interview, with its flickering lights on the screen, continued. Chen Shijun sat imposingly on the sofa, watching his older sister's ponytail swing from time to time, which somewhat affected the viewing experience.

Chen Shijun watched with great interest, while Eunbi, as the team leader, suppressed her sobs and tried her best to convey her gratitude to the members and fans in a relatively calm tone.

However, the trembling voice and occasional deep breaths still revealed the pressure and reluctance that the leader was under. If IZ*ONE could continue, they probably wouldn't have taken the shortcut.

"It's not easy for her, Kwon Eun-bi... she's quite responsible."

I hope that in the new label, I can play a supporting role in helping the new group get started, and I explained in detail the necessity of her in an internal meeting.

Although Min Hee-jin felt that she was not very useful, she did not object to anything as long as it did not affect her plan. It was just a matter of signing a female artist.

Chen Shijun unconsciously tapped the sofa armrest with his fingers. This captain, like the stammering older sister in front of him, would occasionally let down her guard in front of him, revealing her fatigue and vulnerability, and then quickly pull herself together again.

However, Jung Eun-chae is probably much better than before. First of all, her mindset has improved, and after becoming financially secure, the pressure to pursue her career has decreased significantly.

However, the girls in the studio each had their own form of sadness. The saddest thing in life is parting. Seeing their tearful faces, Chen Shijun also felt a little lost.

"This Ahn Yoo-jin you admire the most, is she the Ahn Yoo-jin we met last time, the one I even treated her to dinner? I think she's not very old..."

Chen Shijun said that this girl was very smart. He didn't know whether she was smart or not, but she did look very cute. She also had a rather heroic appearance, which might be similar to his own.

"Yes, that's right! Have you noticed that even when she cries, this cheerful girl is full of energy?"

The older sister was having trouble breathing, and Chen Shijun tenderly held her in his arms. She was wearing a light blue shirt, and her neat high ponytail gave her an intellectual air.

There are many beautiful actresses in this industry, but girls who look educated at first glance are truly rare.

"While it's true that you don't need a reason to appreciate someone, this is such a far-fetched claim! What do you mean by 'being energetic even when crying'?"

In front of the camera, Ahn Yoo-jin tilted her head back, seemingly trying to stop her tears from falling, but in the end she couldn't hold them back, and tears streamed down her cheeks.

But she quickly wiped it away with the back of her hand and forced a smile at the camera. That smile was full of youthful regret and feigned strength, but it was precisely this youthful vibe that made the older sister extremely jealous.

"It's so enviable! This is the taste of youth. Looking at these girls, I feel like I'm about to rot away."

The older sister always speaks her mind sometimes. Although she is in the most charming period of a woman's life, and because she is pampered, her condition is frighteningly good compared to that of ordinary celebrities.

It is well known that skincare is very expensive. Many female celebrities, after losing their jobs and income, have no choice but to reduce their spending, which results in a sharp decline in their appearance.

This is why many female celebrities are a bit of a shock when they reappear after leaving the spotlight, but this doesn't happen to the older sister.

Because she didn't have much work, she had fewer worries and didn't have to be busy with various schedules. All she needed to do was make Chen Shijun happy.

The reward was the man's financial support, which he didn't mind the cost of, and over time she lived almost like a noblewoman. The more she lived like that, the more she became enamored with this lifestyle.

"Who said that! Our Eunchaeunah! Her skin is like a little girl's."

Chen Shijun was naturally good at saying nice things. When a woman pours all her attention into you, it's hard not to feel a strange sensation. So Chen Shijun didn't think about the root of the problem. Although the other party's intentions weren't pure, his own thoughts weren't noble either.

At least in the role she played, Eun-chae exceeded expectations, so what could be unsatisfactory?

"She's still far from being a real young girl. You know, when Yuan Ying was in front of me, I even felt like we were from different eras."

The older sister's fingertips gently traced Chen Shijun's collarbone, her eyes filled with languor, while the camera focused on Yuan Ying, whose shoulders trembled slightly from crying.

Her face, which was usually beaming with a lovely smile, was now streaked with tears, yet she still tried to maintain an elegant demeanor and sincerely thanked everyone into the microphone.

"She must be heartbroken! After all, it was her youth, which she gave her all to. While most people should be studying, she quietly became a successful idol."

Chen Shijun also felt that his younger sister was really amazing, someone who could succeed at anything, and he was proud of her in his heart.

As the curtain fell, the girls did not stop crying; it was indeed contagious, as almost everyone's eyes were red.

Perhaps they didn't particularly want to cry, but it's hard not to be affected in this situation. Even the usually resilient Captain Eunbi squatted down and buried her face deeply in her arms.

I went through so much hardship to get here, but before I could even enjoy myself, the magic stopped working.

From today onwards, IZ*ONE's leader Kwon Eunbi will no longer exist. She will once again live a life of dependence, completely entrusting her life to that man's conscience.

Thinking of this, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, making it hard for her to breathe. This sadness easily affected the emotions of all the members.

No one expected this woman to have such deep feelings for the team. They could only come over and hug her while crying along with her. The studio was filled with heartbreaking sobs.

An An hugged Kim Min-ju, who was crying, and her own tears flowed uncontrollably. In this group, she was a younger sister like Won-young, but in the new group, she would inevitably have to take on greater responsibilities.

The hints from Starship Entertainment suggest that the company wants her to be the leader of the new group, which makes her feel a little confused, although she and Wonyoung are already quite senior among the trainees.

At the time, she said that the company should find someone else! There were also older trainees in the debut group, but the company said that it had already made a decision, and no one could suppress the more popular Jang Won-young.

In this situation, An'an could only express her willingness to serve the team and to devote all her enthusiasm, effort, and energy to the team and its members.

At this moment, Wonyoung did not immediately join the group of sisters who were crying. Instead, she stood a little further away, looking up, thinking about the oppa who might say he wasn't watching but was actually watching the live stream in secret.

"I did a good job, didn't I? I didn't cry terribly, oppa, did you see?"

Regardless, the time spent with IZ*ONE is an important chapter in her life. Won Young feels that it is a process of her growth, and Chen Shijun's shift from opposition to support has given her tremendous motivation.

Rubbing her eyes, Yuan Ying squeezed into the crowd. It would be a lie to say she wasn't sad at the moment of parting, but compared to some members whose futures were uncertain, Yuan Ying felt more composed.
