Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 28 Sakura's Worries
"You contradict yourself, girl. One minute you say that we semi-literate people are not good enough for your oppa, and the next minute you say that you don't like highly educated people but only like those who dropped out of high school."

This girl has too many tricks up her sleeve. The clever An'an watched her younger sister's performance with a cold smile, while Yuan Ying, although she knew that she was being teased, still had her puffed-up cheeks twitching with anger.

They simply ignored the big dog, and the older women started complaining that Ahn Yu-jin had gone too far in teasing him, pretending to be mature when she was still in the newbie protection period.

"That's right, if I were Yuan Ying, I would be devastated if my teammate became my sister-in-law."

Sakura has been treating Madoka very well lately, and many people can see her intentions. She is simply worried that she might inadvertently cause Won-young to feel resentful.

After all, it really caused a stir back then. Many people analyzed the scene frame by frame and angrily accused her of trying to extort money. Who knows if a child will hold a grudge? She has a very powerful older brother in the industry.

However, it's not surprising that she's opportunistic. After all, that's how it's always been in this industry. Being far from home, Cherry Blossom feels somewhat adrift and has to be cautious most of the time.

Although limited-time groups have a time limit, they may still be active in the K-pop scene in the future, since the income of Japanese entertainment is terrifyingly low in comparison.

This time, the profit sharing has scared her former teammates so much that their legs went weak. Even her mentor, who is good at navigating social situations, is extremely envious, considering that she is the highest-paid female idol in Japan.

The main issue is that her reputation in China is really not good. That scandal almost ruined her reputation, and her path with AKB has come to an end. Switching to acting is even more absurd.

Having been poor since childhood, she naturally wanted more money to satisfy her sense of security, and extending her career as much as possible was her dream.

After all, they debuted early in China, and many members of the 48 Group graduated in their early twenties or even before, resulting in relatively shorter careers. Therefore, the situation of this limited-time group made her very anxious.

Looking at Xiaoyuan, who was actually studying the book so well, the older sisters fell silent. This girl was being supported by someone, but the future of the sisters was uncertain.

It's unclear when this turmoil will end, and there's a corresponding fear about a second debut after disbanding. Limited-time groups that come from talent shows often reach their peak.

It's not uncommon for members to return to the idol scene and become hugely popular, but they are mostly popular members within groups. The greatest value of these "leftovers" is being a supporting member in a popular group; they can't attract attention even in a lower-tier group.

Those who come to participate in the talent show are naturally not from big companies, because it would be difficult for their parent companies to provide the corresponding personnel to form a team after they return.

So small companies either choose to go solo or to tug on a carrier, but the solo track is so competitive that even the most brilliant minds can't succeed, and those who tug on a carrier don't have a good ending.

Even Kim Se-jeong couldn't hold on; her brilliance still lay in her personal charm during her acting career, while IZ*ONE's explosive popularity made it difficult for them to accept the hardships of a comeback.

It's worth noting that IOI only existed for six months back then, and IZ*ONE signed a two-and-a-half-year contract to avoid this situation. Now, almost half of that time has passed.

In the first half of the year, everyone created countless glories and received a lot of money, but the second half visibly dimmed.

……

As the new year approaches, Big Hit appears to be preparing for a major management reshuffle, with former Nexon Korea CEO Park Ji-won set to join the company in an important role.

Rumors suggest that Bang Si-hyuk might step down as representative director, retaining only the chairmanship of the board, while Park Ji-won would accept the position to oversee operations and management within South Korea. Chen Shijun doesn't recognize this person; born in 1977, he holds a master's degree in political science from Yonsei University and spearheaded the development of *Sudden Attack 2*, a game that left a significant mark on gaming history.

The success of CF may have inspired this expert, who believes that the less clothing a female character wears and the more exposed she is, the more her combat power will be enhanced. He argues that the enhancements brought by spending money seriously affect the core competitive experience.

The stunning female character CGs still leave many players with fond memories, but some of the female character costumes have been criticized for being overly revealing and sexually suggestive.

Overall, the paid characters are ridiculously strong, and with the added bonus of pay-to-win equipment, it's impossible for free-to-play players to compete. Skill is completely useless against recoil-free guns and incredibly fast-moving characters.

Following numerous complaints from parents and intervention from game rating agencies, the controversial outfits were eventually removed and the content was adjusted. However, the game was eventually taken down after only 24 days, becoming a bizarre milestone.

Although the official statement claimed that it would be reworked, Overwatch and PUBG, which were released around the same time, captured the market with their relatively better quality, making it the shortest-lived game in South Korean gaming history.

Chen Shijun never expected to work with this "legend," a figure universally reviled online. The fact that Fatty Fang claimed his ideas and concepts would definitely resonate with Park Ji-won was an insult to Chen Shijun.

In this pig-spirit's mind, these two working together can definitely maximize the value of cattle, horses, and leeks, making them essential talents for the company's transformation.

However, he prefers to create a more complete idol industrialization system, which would improve the substitutability and modularity of idols while also strengthening the construction of related support systems.

This Director Park can be easily summarized by a media comment: "He is good at making money from consumers in a short period of time." However, Bang Si-hyuk is counting on him to lead the company from a single label to a multinational entertainment giant.

This greedy guy is a true capitalist-driven type, and he and Bang Si-hyuk are birds of a feather. Fans and idols are lucky to have them together.

Recently, Fang Pangzi hinted in the shareholder group that there were no plans to go public, but some time ago he told himself that he had already begun preparations for an IPO, which was also disclosed during the share swap with Dunamu.

His purpose is now quite clear: he wants the shares held by certain shareholders and wants to induce them to sell their shares at a low price so he can make a huge profit. He is truly a greedy pig.

Relying on such methods to profit is incredibly audacious. If it were to explode, then...

Chen Shijun didn't think too much about it. Fang Shihe couldn't fall at this time. The shares he held were far from reaching their peak value, and could even be very useful at times.

It would be interesting if this guy were caught by the Financial Supervisory Service someday. But since he's playing like this, he must have his own logic for being so fearless. Let's wait and see.

The wind is particularly biting this winter. At least Zhao Meiyan sent herself several messages today to say that she was very cold, especially some photos of her fair and tender thighs that were red from the cold.

Under his guidance, the girl gradually became more proactive. Putting new wine in old bottles can be a good thing, after all, female trainee Zhao Meiyan had witnessed his growth to a certain extent, which allowed him to feel a sense of accomplishment.

Moreover, the tacit understanding between the two can effectively reduce communication costs. Of course, part of the reason is that she seems to have become more beautiful with her debut makeup and styling, which is indeed particularly in line with his aesthetic.
