Peninsula: Starting with the nation's first love, the white moonlight

Faced with Lee Ji-eun's sarcastic question, Lee Lu-ran hurriedly waved his hand and explained in a low voice, "No need, no need, I'm just looking around. Besides, I don't even know their names, why would I need autographs?"

"snort!"

Ji-eun gave him a soft snort, showing him no kindness whatsoever.

This guy was staring at other girl groups without even blinking, and now he dares to casually say he was just looking around?

"So what if he's a little taller? So what if his skin is a little fairer?"

She subconsciously started to compete with the man surnamed Lin, and a little bit of resentment welled up in her heart, causing her lips to pout involuntarily.

Seeing her like this, Li Luran no longer dared to glance at the red carpet.

The girl was on the verge of exploding, and any explanation he gave would be wrong, so he wisely kept quiet.

Lee Ji-eun only snapped out of her daze when the host called out IU's name, but before leaving, she still gave someone a warning look.

Then, she skillfully put on a professional smile, lifted her skirt, and gracefully and calmly stepped onto the red carpet.

Li Luran stood on the periphery of the media area, quietly watching Li Zhi'en, who had now stepped into the center of the spotlight.

Wearing a pure white lace strapless mini dress and exquisite stiletto heels, Lee Ji-eun walked with confidence and radiance with every step she took today.

The U-Aina fans on both sides erupted in deafening screams, calling out her name with all their might.

"IU! IU! IU!"

Lee Ji-eun waved and thanked the fans around her, smiling sweetly. Under the flashing lights, she radiated a charming glow.

Looking at the radiant "Nation's Little Sister," Li Luran couldn't help but smile.

Who would have thought that just seconds before, she was pouting and sulking next to him like a jealous little girl.

However, this contrast is part of Lee Ji-eun's charm. She's usually a bit absent-minded, but when she gets serious, she's absolutely meticulous.

Upon reaching the interview area, Lee Ji-eun gracefully accepted the microphone handed to her by the host.

"Hello everyone, I'm IU."

"Welcome IU!" The host enthusiastically led the applause and continued, "IU has had a fantastic year, with her music charts soaring and awards galore. How are you feeling right now? Is there anything you'd like to share with your fans?"

Lee Ji-eun smiled and replied, "I'm truly grateful for everyone's love and support. This weighty honor is inseparable from the support of my fans. In the new year, I will continue to work hard and repay everyone's expectations with better music."

Even after IU's interview, the red carpet was still dazzling with stars.

Following closely behind was the popular girl group T-ara.

Amid cheers from fans at the scene, several girls stepped out of the van one after another.

T-ara swept across the peninsula this year with a retro hit song, proving themselves to be a top girl group. Their appearance immediately attracted all the attention.

Park Jiyeon walked at the front of the group. Today she was wearing a black short skirt and a pair of over-the-knee black leather boots.

With her cool and aloof face and slightly aggressive eye makeup, she looks both cold and charming.

As she walked to the edge of the interview area, she caught a glimpse of Li Luran standing not far away, and Li Zhi'en, who had just finished her interview.

She curled her lips slightly and secretly winked at Li Luran and Zhi En.

The fans in the front row quickly captured this rare moment of Jiyeon's playful antics and immediately erupted in even more frenzied screams.

Not long after, the four members of Missa walked the red carpet amidst cheers from the fans.

Bae Suzy chose a black strapless dress today, with a slender diamond necklace hanging around her snow-white neck, sparkling under the lights.

She walked in the middle of the group, smiling and waving to the fans on both sides, while her eyes secretly searched the crowd.

Soon, she found that tall and upright figure.

Suzy didn't deliberately stop, but simply turned her head slightly in his direction, revealing her signature sweet smile to the camera.

Her eyebrows were curved, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, revealing her snow-white teeth. She had a pure and innocent look with a touch of natural charm.

The male fans at the scene thought Suzy was flirting with them, and instantly erupted in a deafening roar.

Li Luran smiled at her across the crowd, and when Xiuzhi saw his response, her smile became even brighter.

Soon, the members of Missa arrived at the interview area, and the host handed the microphone to Bae Suzy first.

"Welcome, MISSA! This year, Suzy swept the charts with 'Goodbye Baby,' and her performance in film and television dramas has also been outstanding. With the new year just around the corner, does Suzy have any special wishes or anything she'd like to say to her fans?"

Suzy took the microphone, looked at the camera, and said sweetly, "Thank you everyone. This year has been a year of great growth for me, and I am very grateful to Say A for your continued support and understanding."

"Suzy is so thoughtful. I believe fans will continue to support Missa."

The host smiled and continued, "Miss has been in the industry for a year now. A lot must have happened in that time. Suzy, what have you learned during this process?"

Suzy pursed her lips slightly, a faint smile still on her face: "Yes, time flies. I can't believe we've already been in the industry for a year."

"A lot has happened this year, with both laughter and tears. I am very grateful to the unnies in the group for always encouraging me when I was feeling down."

"If I had to say what I learned... it would be to cherish the people around me."

As she spoke, her gaze inadvertently swept across a corner of the audience.

Cherish everyone who is good to you, because some things, once cracked, are hard to restore to their original state.

The host and the fans in the audience naturally assumed that Suzy meant that she cherished her relationship with the members, but only Lee Lu-ran understood her unspoken meaning.

The girl on stage still wore a perfect smile, but Li Luran saw a hint of sadness beneath that smile.

"Should we cherish the people in front of us?" Li Luran withdrew his gaze, sighed softly, and felt somewhat complicated.

When he gathered his thoughts and looked again, the MISSA team had already finished their interview and were preparing to leave.

As luck would have it, Lee Ji-eun, who had just finished a group interview, walked over and caught a glimpse of Lee Lu-ran staring blankly at Soo-ji's back.

Ji-eun's smile vanished instantly. She quickly walked over and patted his arm.

"Why are you still staring at them even after they've gone far away?"

"Since you're so reluctant to part with her, why don't you just become Suzy's assistant?"

Lee Ji-eun snorted, not giving Lee Lu-ran a chance to explain, and walked towards the center of the venue without looking back.

Li Luran shook his head helplessly. This girl was practically overflowing with jealousy. He'd better coax her properly later.

He quickened his pace and followed the sulking "national little sister" inside.
