Peninsula: From Water Injection to Stardom

On June 25, as agreed, Jiang Yan arrived at JYP before 9 a.m.

After going upstairs, he first went to Park Jin-young's office and exchanged a few pleasantries with him.

Park Jin-young sat on the sofa, took a sip of his brewed green tea, and said, "Do you have an understanding of the abilities of these kids today? Do you need me to give you some guidance on how to divide them into parts?"

Although Park Jin-young had no doubt about Kang Yeon's abilities, he still asked the question just to be on the safe side.

Sitting opposite him, Jiang Yan pretended to ponder for a moment before speaking, "Actually, apart from watching the first two episodes, I didn't watch much after that because of work. Zhenying definitely knows them better than I do, so I'd like to hear your advice."

However, this is a lie.

The truth is, Jiang Yan is quite familiar with the abilities of the players on the Major team who were recording today.

The reason he said that was actually to hear Park Jin-young's personal opinions about these people.

Seeing that Jiang Yan seemed interested, Park Jin-young paused for a moment before saying, "Among the Major team members, the best singer is undoubtedly Min-young; you know her. Somi sings well too, but she's more of an ace. Chae-young is good at rap and has a very unique personality. As for the remaining three..."

At this point, Park Jin-young paused, seemingly considering his words.

After a moment, he continued, "Natty is young and lacks in many aspects. As for Sana and Mina, although their voices are very good, they don't have any basic vocal skills."

Jiang Yan listened attentively to Park Jin-young's words.

Well, it's pretty much what he knows, but it's not what he wants to hear.

"Is there anyone in Brother Zhenying who needs special care?" Jiang Yan asked rather bluntly.

He was actually asking Park Jin-young if there were any members of the royal family who needed special consideration.

"No need, just do it your own way. I won't interfere with how you divide them into parts," Park Jin-young said with a smile, waving his hand.

When Jiang Yan heard that there wasn't a single member of the royal family in this team, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes as he looked at Park Jin-young, but he quickly understood.

That's true, it seems like the royal family is all on another team.

Moreover, it's estimated that the gorilla already has a rough debut lineup in mind, so whether the number of parts is large or small, or how well the stage performance is, will basically not affect his final debut lineup.

Customized debut.

Perhaps the only thing the gorilla didn't expect was that the few lead singers he trained would be involved in an entire show, forcing him to tearfully replace them at the last minute.

"Then I'll divide the roles according to what I actually see, and let whoever is suitable take the part."

"Okay, let's do it your way."

The two sat there chatting for a few minutes. Jiang Yan looked up at the time and realized it was almost time to go to the recording studio.

Park Jin-young also noticed this, so the two stopped talking and got up together to leave the office.

Upon arriving at the Major team's recording studio, Park Jin-young opened the door and led the way inside.

"Anyasyo—" X6

Upon seeing the two people enter one after the other, all six members of the Major team immediately stood up and lined up in a row, bowing respectfully to Park Jin-young and Kang Yeon.

Park Jin-young waved to them with his signature kind and filial smile, and Kang Yeon nodded back to the six of them.

His gaze swept over each of them, finally lingering on Mina and Sana for a few seconds.

All six members of the Major team were wearing casual clothes today. Sana Minato was wearing something resembling a school uniform, with a white shirt and a light blue knee-length skirt.

Mina wore a red T-shirt and hot pants, which looked rather casual in comparison.

When the two cherry blossom lines met Jiang Yan's gaze, Minatozaki Sana gave him a sweet smile, while Mina smiled more reservedly with her lips pursed.

After taking in the reactions of the two, Jiang Yan turned her head without changing her expression and casually looked around the environment of the JYP recording studio.

This was his first time in this recording studio; he had never been here before when he was a trainee. However, the decor was similar to the one he had used before.

After exchanging greetings, Park Jin-young walked to the side and introduced Kang Yeon to the six people present: "This is Kang Yeon, the producer in charge of your recording. I believe you all know her without me having to introduce her."

Of those present, apart from the Sakura Line and Song Min-young, the other three were meeting Kang Yeon for the first time.

But after hearing Park Jin-young's words, they all nodded in unison.

It's impossible not to know him, unless he hasn't been online for the past few months.

After Park Jin-young finished her introduction, Kang Yeon looked at them and asked with a smile, "You all should have practiced the song you're going to sing beforehand, right?"

Although the parts were assigned live today, he had already sent a sample of the song "미쳤나봐 (Are You Crazy?)" to JYP a long time ago.

When asked about Jiang Yan's question, the six of them exchanged glances, and it was Minatozaki Sana who spoke first with a smile: "OP—Jiang PDnim, we've all practiced with him."

Sana Minatozaki originally wanted to call him "oppa," but halfway through her sentence, she felt that the occasion was a bit inappropriate, so she immediately changed her address to a more formal one.

After hearing Minatozaki Sana's reply, Jiang Yan glanced at Mina in the crowd.

Logically, the person who should have been the first to answer should have been Mina, who was the one he was most familiar with among the six.

But clearly, in this situation, the other person was a quiet and reserved girl.

Turning his gaze away, Jiang Yan continued, "I'll have you all sing it once first, then I'll divide it into parts based on my own judgment, and finally make some adjustments based on the specific situation. Is everyone okay with that?"

Upon hearing his words, the Major team members immediately nodded, especially those who were not familiar with Jiang Yan, whose faces showed varying degrees of tension.

Of course they wouldn't have any objections, nor could they have any.

Without uttering any further pleasantries, Jiang Yan got straight to work.

He sat down at the control panel and did some simple adjustments to the device.

Park Jin-young also took a chair and sat down next to him; he would be present throughout the entire event.

After setting up the equipment, Jiang Yan had each of the six members of the Major team go to the inner room and sing the entire song while looking at the lyrics. Then, based on each person's performance, he made a preliminary breakdown of the lyrics.

However, after listening to each of the presentations, Jiang Yan took off his headphones and fell silent.

If judged by his lowest standards, then apart from Song Min-young and half of Somi, all of these people are unqualified.
