Peninsula: You've been chosen here for producing girl groups.

Chapter 142 Training Ground Experience

"Would you like me to clean this up for you?"

Han Hyo-joo pretended to go ask someone for some wet wipes: "So that when you leave, someone can take a picture of you with lipstick marks on you."

"Forget it."

Han Shuo didn't care much about this small issue: "Just keep it, I don't mind."

It's probably a masterpiece left by a fan while squeezing through the crowd.

It's truly admirable that she was able to leave a lip print amidst such a large crowd. Keeping her work is a testament to her courage.

"Ha!"

Han Hyo-joo rolled her eyes at Han Seok: "You're keeping it as a medal of honor, aren't you? Tell me the truth, aren't you secretly pleased with yourself?"

You're secretly pleased with just leaving a lip print?

You underestimated me. No.

Han Shuo said he's even received innerwear as a gift, wow.

He said nonchalantly, "I don't even know their height, weight, or if they're my type. What's there to be secretly pleased about?"

Look at how skillfully he handled it.

Without some dating experience, one couldn't be so composed.

"Hey, then tell me, what type of girl do you like?"

Han Hyo-joo glanced at Han Seok: "Although I'm still a newcomer, I have a pretty good network of connections. Maybe I can help you out and introduce you to a girlfriend."

Han Shuo crossed his arms.

His expression was strange, a half-smile playing on his lips, as he circled around Han Hyo-joo, occasionally tilting his head in thought, then shaking his head in denial, making Han Hyo-joo feel extremely uncomfortable.

"What's up? What mischief are you plotting now?"

Why are you so concerned about me?

Han Shuo tapped his chin with his finger: "Could it be that you secretly like me? I'd like to find out—"

"cut!"

Han Hyo-joo's lips twitched: "Don't be so narcissistic. You really think you're the nation's boyfriend? Saying you like me? If I liked someone, I wouldn't beat around the bush."

She had to admit that she admired Han Shuo.

He excels in everything he does and is successful in every field he enters.

But that's still a long way from liking it.

"That's good."

Han Shuo breathed a sigh of relief: "I like women with a shapely figure, S-shaped beauties."

"Huh?!"

Han Hyo-joo cracked her knuckles in a threatening gesture: "You're starting to look down on me?"

"Look at you, you're in such a hurry again. Didn't you ask me about my type first, saying you'd introduce me to a girlfriend? Why the sudden change of heart?"

"cut!"

Han Hyo-joo turned her head away, too lazy to pay attention to Han Seok.

Han Shuo said to himself, "I prefer gentle girls like Son Ye-jin. If you have someone like that in your life—"

'

"screw you!"

Han Hyo-joo strode forward, trying to shake off Han Seok.

The drama "Iljimae" began filming last year.

The production was delayed, and the extended filming period left the crew with a lot of unfinished material, making the filming schedule far less hectic than that of typical Korean dramas.

The production crew specially filmed her scenes ahead of schedule.

So that she would have time to accompany Han Shuo on a proper shopping trip.

"You've really made a splash again this time, like a troublemaker. Everyone's afraid to mess with you, so they're all trying their best to curry favor with you."

"A troublemaker?"

This woman.

It was just a joke, wasn't it?

Is it really necessary to call him a troublemaker?

Han Shuo took a step back, his expression dramatic: "If I were a troublemaker, you guys—um—heh, sorry, I couldn't help it."

I can't argue with them, I simply can't argue with them.

Han Hyo-joo was so angry she gritted her teeth. She put her hands on her hips and tilted her head back, saying, "Why don't you just leave? I'm afraid I won't be able to resist the urge to beat you up."

"Don't do that."

Han Seok put his arm around Han Hyo-joo's shoulder: "Didn't we agree to take me horseback riding?"

"Let go of me," Han Hyo-joo tried to shake Han Seok off, but couldn't. She angrily pinched her nose and pretended to be disgusted, saying, "You smell like sweat, you're filthy."

Han Shuo wasn't afraid of her trash talk: "What are you babbling about? Take me horseback riding now."

"You've really never ridden one before?"

The plan was to take Han Shuo horseback riding, but when the time came, Han Xiaozhou was worried that something might happen to Han Shuo during the ride, so he gave him careful instructions before he mounted the horse.

"Did you remember?"

"Wasn't this horse supposed to be very docile?"

Han Shuo, with a carefree attitude, was eager to try: "I'm tall and strong, if anything happens, I can definitely jump away immediately."

"Pay more attention."

Han Hyo-joo gave in: "Fine, I'll take you for a couple of rides."

She mounted her horse and tossed her head at Han Shuo, "Get on!"

"Um?"

I thought Han Shuo was inexperienced and might have trouble mounting the horse, but to my surprise, he mounted it very quickly and neatly.

Han Seok whispered in Han Hyo-joo's ear, "Where should I grab?"

The sudden burst of hot breath made Han Hyo-joo tilt her head awkwardly. She said irritably, "Where are you grabbing? Where else do you want to grab?"

"Uh-huh!"

A pair of hands wrapped around from behind.

Han Shuo showed no sign of being a stranger, holding her tightly around the waist with both hands, and urged her on as if they were in a car:

Let's begin.

"Oh, you're sitting too close to me. I won't be able to move around properly later."

Han Shuo feigned ignorance, asking naively, "Aren't they always this close in TV dramas?"

"You said it's a TV series?"

Han Hyo-joo slapped Han Seok's thigh with her backhand, signaling him to sit a little further away.

"TV dramas rely on visual effects. They may appear to be riding horses, but in reality, they are mostly riding in place or using props to assist in the performance."

Actually, she's only half-baked.

They underwent a few weeks of special training before filming began.

But it seems unlikely that it will be enough to intimidate Han Shuo.

She slowly rode her bicycle while explaining the key points to Han Shuo.

"Really? I didn't know there were so many things to know about horseback riding."

Han Shuo seemed to have taken it to heart, and naturally replied, "Give me a demonstration."

Han Hyo-joo increased her speed slightly.

To her great surprise, Han Shuo's posture was very standard, and he was very adept at riding the horse.

"You're too slow."

With that, Han Shuo reached over Han Xiaozhou and grabbed the reins: "Sit tight and hold on."

Whoosh.

As if freed from their restraints, the horses galloped freely across the training ground.

The horse's mane danced in the wind.

Han Hyo-joo's heart was rising and falling with her emotions.

It almost scared her.

As soon as she opened her mouth, gusts of sand rushed in.

Damn it.

She understood perfectly well.

Han Shuo was just deliberately playing with her.

She's clearly an expert equestrian, but she's deliberately acting like this.

If you can't ride a horse, demonstrate!

Her equestrian skills are even better than Lee Joon-gi's, who has been training for half a year. Is it really necessary for her to demonstrate?

The scenery before me is leaping past.

The summer wind whistles past my ears.

Behind him was the reliable Han Shuo protecting him.

She gradually became immersed in it, enjoying the exhilarating feeling of unrestrained freedom.

"Can it go any faster?"

Han Shuo remained silent, only accelerating.

He can adapt to this speed perfectly.

Han Hyo-joo is not good at it.

She's only at a mediocre level, and she's already struggling a bit.

"Sit on my lap, and I'll give you a ride."

"Huh? I don't want to—"

Han Hyo-joo was still hesitant, but Han Seok had already pressed himself against her.

Now I have no choice but to accept it.

With Han Shuo guiding her, Han Xiaozhou personally experienced the true essence of equestrianism.

One lap, two laps, three laps—after riding five laps, Han Shuo finally tightened the reins and stopped the horse.

He leaned close to Han Hyo-joo's face: "Why is your face so hot? Is it hot?"

"Yes, it's hot!"

Han Hyo-joo gritted his teeth.

Ask, ask, ask.

Why is her face burning? Don't you know?

You bastard.

"Then I'll get off first, you stay on horseback."

Han Shuo said he was going to step down, but he didn't actually do anything.

What are you doing now?

"Let me take a moment."

This conversation was a bit inexplicable, but Han Hyo-joo somehow understood it.

She stood with her back straight and her body leaning forward.

It seemed like there was something bad behind them.

"Is it ready yet?"

"Soon."

"And now?"

"alright."

Han Shuo dismounted.

He approached the horse, affectionately patted its neck, and spoke to it softly, "Thank you for making this a wonderful experience."

Han Xiaozhou looked down at Han Shuo from his high vantage point.

She initially thought Han Shuo had deliberately come up to her to play some trick or tease her, but she never expected that he was just comforting the horse.

They did it quite well.

The horse snuggled affectionately into his arms and nuzzled his face with its nose.

ho.

Don't let his wicked schemes fool you.

The longer you know someone, the more mysterious they become, and they always manage to surprise you.

"Do you still want to ride?"

Han Shuo leaned against the front of the horse and looked up.

Han Hyo-joo shook his head: "Take it to the horse trainer."

Han Shuo led the horse onto the ground.

Upon reaching the horse trainer's position, he walked around to the side of the horse and asked in a cheeky tone, "Do you want me to help you down?"

Han Hyo-joo really wanted to reject Han Seok.

But her legs felt a little weak.

Han Shuo, being perceptive, stepped forward without hesitation.

He opened his arms, gesturing for Han Hyo-joo to come down. Han Hyo-joo slumped down and leaned into his arms, where he had one arm around her shoulder and the other around her legs.

She held the princess in her arms.

The horse trainer, who was calming the horse, suddenly ate a mouthful of dog food.

These two are up to something.

"Have you gotten addicted to hugging her?"

Han Hyo-joo stared intently at Han Seok: "When are you planning to let me down?"

"We'll release it then."

Han Shuo carried Han Xiaozhou a little further away.

The hands that were supporting her legs formed a circle, and the hands that were around her shoulders pulled her back.

In just a couple of seconds, Han Hyo-joo went from leaning against him to being hugged tightly by him, facing him, exchanging smiles, seemingly at a loss for what to do.

A half-smile played on her lips: "Put me down!"

This time, Han Shuo didn't do anything funny; he simply put her on the ground.

There has been enough physical contact today; too much is as bad as too little, and he won't take the initiative again.

"I'm going to the dressing room."

Han Hyo-joo jogged towards the dressing room.

She scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on her face.

The cool water splashed on her face helped her regain some of her composure.

This guy.

Putting everything else aside, it's definitely a carnivore.

How many girls must one have dated to have this natural feeling of breaking through social barriers and achieving intimate physical contact without even realizing it?

Playboy.

After leaving the dressing room, she took Han Shuo to meet the director and other actors.

As a singer of unparalleled near-top-tier status and the founder of the booming Bilibili, Han Shuo received a warm welcome from the actors.

Even she has to admit that Han Shuo is very capable.

A small video website, less than two months after its full launch, has garnered such attention.

The fact that a small special episode produced by the company itself could cause such a stir in the industry and win public sympathy for the actors is astonishing.

It's no exaggeration to say that all actors in the country owe Han Shuo a "thank you".

"It was just a coincidence."

If it weren't for the tense relationship between the artists' union and the television station, which led to a potential strike, this sensitive issue might not have garnered much attention.

At least it won't be as much of a focus of attention as it is now.

"Iljimae" was a key project for Bilibili in the first half of the year, and Bilibili also took the lead in preparing a premiere screening and a fan meeting.

When "Iljimae" officially airs next week, Bilibili will recruit fans in Beijing and Qingdao to watch the first two episodes with Lee Joon-gi and Han Hyo-joo.

"Our filming schedule is very relaxed, so I'll take a few more days off to stay in China and have some fun. You must do your best to be a good host."

Han Hyo-joo insisted on having a great time in China, given that the drama was airing at the same time.

This was a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Perhaps, as Han Shuo said, she does have some feelings for him.

I don't mind spending more time with Han Shuo.

The filming session ended early for the day, and she even took Han Seok's car back to Seoul.

"I heard your next Korean album is finished? What's it called?"

"MyType, a summer special featuring sweet romance and the refreshing taste of fruit juice."

If the first album, *LoveTrap*, focused entirely on the naive, headstrong emotions of young people just entering the world of love, then *My*...

The album "Type" creates just the right amount of youthful energy.

Pure and beautiful.

The entire series consists of six songs.

The song "Standby Me," featuring piano and synthesizer arrangements, is used as the introduction.

This is the OST for the Korean version of Boonie Flower, "Boys Over Flowers." The entire song is clear and natural, with a great listening experience, and it won't be outdated even ten years later.

Following closely behind is "The Mysterious Girl".

Both being OSTs for the Korean drama "Secret Agent," this song has a much more vibrant style compared to "Standby Me."

Then there's the album's title track, "My Type".

A representative work of the boy group iKON.

Launched in mid-November 2015, it easily secured 34th place on the annual list that year, and returned to the list the following year, easily taking 63rd place.

The fourth song is "My Beauty".

The OST of the fantasy drama "Extraordinary You" is known as the Korean drama battle song by its fans and has become very popular in the era of short videos.

Finally, the concert concluded with two upbeat tunes.

"Way Back Home" and "One More Last Time" are R&B songs as light and refreshing as fruit juice.

It firmly captures the listener's attention.

With careful preparation and the upcoming release of the card, it should be able to break the sales record of "LoveTrap".

Han Hyo-joo put on her headphones and listened attentively.

Her eyes grew brighter and brighter as she listened.

It remains a very well-made album.

Although this song doesn't have the strong rhythm of dance music, the melody is still catchy and easy to fall in love with at first sight, making it just as good as the first album.

My favorite song is "Stand By Me," followed by "Way Back Home" and "One More Last."

time.

Han Hyo-joo hummed along to the rhythm, "If you need me for a music video, feel free to contact me anytime."
