Peninsula: From Water Injection to Stardom

Initially, onlookers thought that SONEs, with their large fan base, would quickly gain the upper hand.

But after watching for a while, everyone discovered that Felix's fighting power was exceptionally strong, and he was not much weaker than Sone.

With some of their rivals from the original team joining the fray, SONEs found themselves at a disadvantage, and the overwhelmingly negative public opinion also weighed heavily on them.

This is very embarrassing.

But it's understandable, since Jiang Yan's stance on this matter is positive, while Girls' Generation's is negative.

Sone's timing in launching this attack on social media is bound to provoke a backlash from righteous bystanders.

Arguing will only damage the good image that has been built up over a long period of time.

SM Entertainment naturally recognized this and issued an official statement the next day, hoping that Girls' Generation's fans would remain rational and not do anything rash.

As for Jiang Yan, he actually received a call from Yuehua Entertainment two days later, which was made by Du Hua.

However, Du Hua didn't come to blame him, but to tell him good news.

Because Felix displayed amazing fighting power in this incident, many brands realized his real popularity and huge fan base, so they took the initiative to contact him.

Jiang Yan wasn't particularly surprised when he received the news.

It's normal for brands to approach him after he demonstrates his value.

However, he did not immediately intend to sign any more endorsement deals.

There's no rush for endorsements. He's currently in a period of rapid popularity growth, so we'll wait until his fame has increased further before making any moves.

After that, there were still opportunities to directly approach luxury brand endorsements.

CUBE has contacted him these past two days, but they came to ask Jiang Yan whether he needs to make any explanation or response to the public.

Jiang Yan's reply was: No response is needed.

To these SONEs, he would only offer a four-word mantra: "Too lazy to talk, but worthy of listening."

He checked his Instagram account a couple of days ago and found it flooded with private messages, but he didn't bother to look at them carefully because he knew without even thinking who was sending them.

Jiang Yan didn't have that much time to waste on them; he'd rather spend that time going on dates with his own partner.

As for her boyfriend, Kim Seolhyun is currently in the United States and will not return to Korea until next week.

However, Jiang Yan did not rest for several days after the live broadcast, and continued to prepare for her comeback.

All three versions of the album's photobook have been shot and are awaiting printing of samples.

Yes, for this comeback, his second mini-album is prepared in four versions, three of which are regular versions and one is a mini version.

But don't be fooled by the fact that the four versions seem like they're just trying to fleece people; in reality, they're quite generous compared to others.

GD has over a dozen versions; that's what you call professionally ripping off fans' wallets.

Moreover, Jiang Yan's album package includes a set of graduation photocards with each album.

In other words, you only need to buy one of each of the four versions of the photocard to collect them all.

This is much more conscientious than buying four or five albums of a single version just to cobble together a set of photocards.

However, there's a reason for having four versions this time.

Jiang Yan plans to make a move to boost sales.

Currently, his first mini-album has sold a total of 91255 copies, ranking 24th on the CIRCLE annual sales chart, behind GOT7 with 90539 copies.

His goal for this comeback is to guarantee at least 20 copies sold.

……

The process of returning is proceeding at a steady pace.

But when there's nothing important to do, Jiang Yan would occasionally go to the gym in the afternoon.

He probably has some physical talent, so he only needs to maintain normal training to achieve very good fitness results.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to wear only beach shorts and show her upper body in the music video before.

He's not like Lay, who has no abs but still takes off his shirt to show off his "paper-wrapped chicken" physique.

The gym they went to was in Cheongdam-dong, but when Kang Yeon came in today, he saw Hirai Momo, whom he hadn't seen for a while.

The other person was wearing a pink cropped sports vest paired with yoga shorts that showed off their thighs.

She was sitting on a leg press machine, intently working out her legs.

The sweat dripping from her neck indicated that Hirai Momo had been training here for some time.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yan did not greet or disturb her, but instead quietly walked over to her side and observed her for a while.

After waiting for several minutes, Hirai Momo took a deep breath, slowly pulled her legs back and put them down, before she belatedly noticed that someone was beside her.

"Eh?! Yan-san, what are you doing here?" Hirai Momo was very surprised to run into Jiang Yan here.

"I come here occasionally, but what are you doing here, Momo? Doesn't JYP's training building have a gym?" Jiang Yan was a little curious as to why Hirai Momo would come to an outside gym.

"There's not enough equipment over there. I asked some senior colleagues at the company a few days ago, and they recommended this place, so I got a membership card here," Hirai Momo explained.

"Hmm, your legs are in good shape."

As Jiang Yan spoke, his gaze involuntarily fell on the other person's two shapely thighs.

Although his muscle definition isn't obvious right now, he still looks incredibly powerful.

"hey-hey."

Hirai Momo chuckled sheepishly after being praised like that.

But Jiang Yan's staring at her thighs made her feel a little shy.

Turning his gaze away, Jiang Yan asked again, "How long have you been here?"

Hirai Momo rolled her eyes, thought for a moment, and said uncertainly, "About... half an hour."

"How long are you planning to practice here?"

"We should stay for another hour."

"Then you can continue practicing, I won't bother you anymore."

"Okay, do you want to use this?"

"No need, I'll go warm up first."

Jiang Yan waved his hand, saying that he had just arrived and needed to do some warm-up exercises first.

And although he does train his legs, he usually doesn't use the leg press machine, but instead uses a squat rack.

He walked to an open space and started doing full-body stretches. After completing several sets, he sat on the ab machine to work on his upper abs.

half an hour.

I used the gym equipment on and off for a while, and before I knew it, an hour had passed.

Just as Jiang Yan was resting on a flat bench, Hirai Momo walked over from the side.

After she came to Jiang Yan's side, she said, "Yan-san, I'm done for today, I'm leaving now~"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan turned to look at her and asked, "Are you going back to the practice room later?"

Hirai Momo shook her head: "No, I'm going straight back to the dorm. I don't need to go to the practice room today."

"So, you're free later?"

"yes."

"It's rare for us to meet today, so why don't we have dinner together tonight?"

Jiang Yan only came up with this idea when Hirai Momo said she was leaving.

"Eh..."

Hirai Momo was clearly taken aback by Jiang Yan's sudden invitation to dinner. After a moment of hesitation, she said blankly, "Okay, but just the two of us?"

Hearing her answer, Jiang Yan smiled and casually said, "Then you can also invite Mina and Sana to see if they're free to come over tonight."

"Oh... well, Yan-san, I'll head back to my dorm now. See you later."

"Okay, I'll send you the address."
