Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 63: Helping My Sister Out for the Sake of the Group

"Could it be that her oppa likes this style? It seems so."

Yu-jin recalled the Jung Eun-chae she had met at the restaurant last time, and she seemed quite convincing. Coupled with the shocks the little girl had experienced recently, she instantly understood most of the situation.

Without realizing it, I started imitating the movements of others. It wasn't that I was a master at copying others; I just wanted to see what I would look like if I were more elegant.

At this moment, the real genius appeared. Kim Chae-won, a strange woman who was extremely good at imitating her teammates, couldn't help but start to act coquettishly when she saw that her two younger sisters had started to go into abnormal mode.

"What are you doing? If someone knew you, they'd think you were eating barbecue; if they didn't, they'd think you were eating Western food."

The remaining members stared at the strange women, and the scene became extremely awkward. Xiaoyuan was unhappy at this moment, feeling offended.

"Why are you all copying me? You're all so rude. I'm angry, I'm really angry."

While still pondering what else about Jung Eun-chae attracted Chen Shijun, he discovered that his teammates were imitating him one after another, which made him very dissatisfied.

"Report! I really...I really want to be your sister-in-law so badly! I want to be so badly, so badly..."

Pretending to be in tears, Kim Chae-won put a piece of wrapped meat into the little round mouth and held the maknae's hands tightly.

This woman's ability to create drama is truly remarkable, and she made this scene look so real that you might be fooled if you didn't know her personality.

"That won't do! My oppa already has someone he likes, he'll wait until..."

Yoojin knew in her heart that the person she was talking about definitely wasn't Jung Eun-chae, and couldn't help but curse the shameless brat in her heart. But she never expected that Kim Chae-won, who was good at making trouble, would have the ability to continue making trouble.

"It's okay if I do! You know I really want to be one. I can cover oppa and sister-in-law with a blanket, and I can also..."

The pleading look on her face was truly touching; it looked so convincing that even the eldest sister, Consort En, looked at her with deep affection and almost agreed on Xiao Yuan's behalf.

"For oppa, I'm willing to transfer to Big Hit. Eunbi unnie, tell Woollim I'm not going back."

I knew this older sister was good at creating mischief, but I never expected she had so much to do. Even Xiao Yuan couldn't keep up and just kept chewing on the beef in her mouth.

"It's understandable that people want to move up in society. I understand your decision, unnie. If possible, please bring your sister along too."

Not only did they not choose to punish Kim Chae-won, they even fanned the flames, which naturally caused the other girls to join in the commotion.

Unlike other situations, even if this joke reaches Chen Shijun's ears now, he probably won't be angry or anything, after all, who doesn't like to be popular?

"Once I've dealt with AKB's contract, I'll go too. I'm willing to skip training to make this transfer happen. You know I've had a Big Hit dream since I was a kid."

Miyawaki Sakura, who has always been cautious in handling her relationship with Madoka, also spoke up at this moment. Although it was a joke, she had already thought about it in her mind, and it seemed that it would be really nice if such an opportunity were to come.

"Right? Right! There's always been a little girl living inside me, and that little girl keeps telling me, 'Big Hit!'"

Yoojin felt that Kim Chae-won was practically begging for a kiss from Xiaoyuan, and he kept spouting all sorts of strange things, proving he was definitely an extrovert.

"If only this group could continue, we probably won't be able to have dinner together like this next year."

Someone's voice suddenly silenced everyone, even Kim Chae-won stopped his antics, and the atmosphere became very awkward. Many were full of confidence for the future, but others knew that their current success was the peak of their careers, and returning to a smaller company would make it difficult to recreate that success.

If Twin Towers return to the starship, someone will naturally build a team around them. With Kakao backing them, they may lack many things, but they will never lack money.

If some people go back, the company may not launch a girl group plan in the near future, which could lead to a long gap in the lineup.

Woollim seems to be in the same situation, not only leader Kwon Eunbi, but also Kim Chae-won, whose popularity is soaring.

If there were any plans for a girl group, there should have been some activity by now. If there's been no activity yet, it's possible that a girl group won't be launched for at least two or three years.

This outcome is terrifying. It seems there are only two paths left, one of which is to become a solo singer, but that path is easier said than done.

None of the sisters are people who can make a living by singing, and the current market is very unfriendly to solo singers. The two of them are well aware of this. Although they have some popularity, they are actually lucky if they don't lose money.

"Unnie, you need to remain loyal. After all, you still have a contract, right? The company has spent a lot of money on you, so they won't let you go easily."

Seeing her sisters teasing her, Won-young didn't throw a tantrum this time. Instead, she mentally reviewed the situation when she clashed with Jung Eun-chae.

That woman always kept the pace firmly in her grasp; she was undeniably a cunning and shrewd woman. In the first round of the fight, I must admit that I was instantly defeated when I peeked out.

He closed his eyes slightly, as if the woman's voice was still echoing in his ears, and he recalled Jung Eun-chae's expressions and movements in his mind.

I couldn't help but start imitating that tone and manner of speaking. Although I didn't want to admit it, I also felt that the effortless and sophisticated tone was very classy.

"So I'm looking for a man to buy my freedom. Big Hit is going to start a new girl group, right? Can't I use my connections with Xiaoyuan to help out?"

Actually, this is just a joke. Unless they receive a transfer fee that is hard to refuse, Woollim will find it difficult to give up this famous idol.

Opportunities to debut are extremely competitive, with many trainees waiting in the wings. There aren't many companies that can afford to offer such high prices, and large companies already have their own pool of excellent trainees, so they don't need to buy recycled trainees at all.

Even Big Hit is the same. The concept of the group was probably decided long ago, and then the trainees were trained around that concept. The sudden addition of established and well-known idols might only disrupt the chemistry.

Nobody had any real hope, and with one year left on their contracts, finding a way out within that year was now an urgent matter.

After all, a hiatus would be fatal. In a place like South Korea, singers and dancers are as numerous as fish in a river, and even those with some popularity cannot withstand being forgotten over time.

Many celebrities become ordinary people when they are idle. Without exposure, there is no work, and without work, there is even less exposure. Maintaining the status of an idol requires a lot of money.

This is also why many idols' appearances decline sharply after their groups disband; the cost of maintaining their looks is beyond the reach of ordinary wealthy families.

"If possible, I really hope the contract is longer, so that everyone can work for a few more years."

Although that's what they say, everyone knows it's impossible. Starship is practically waiting for the rice to cook, just waiting for their contracts to expire before offering the Twin Towers maximum-salary extensions, while simultaneously implementing a reinforcement plan to compete for the championship.

This was the inevitable end for the limited-time group, but no one knew that Chen Shijun and Su Chengzhen were already preparing an alternative plan, perhaps able to pick up a few fragments to complete it.
