Peninsula: I created the golden age of girl groups

Everyone's gaze fell into a daze once again.

To dominate... an era?

is it possible?

Yes, SM Entertainment has high expectations for this soon-to-debut group.

They have even long regarded it as one of the core strategies of SM for the next few years!

Blueprints can be grand, and goals can be ambitious... but in many cases, they are just treating these grand ideas as a vision of the future.

Although SM is extremely good at creating idol groups and setting trends.

But aren't there precedents of failure?

Brands like MILK and Cheon Sang Ji Hee also carried high hopes, but ultimately failed to meet expectations.

The entertainment industry is inherently unpredictable, and anything can happen in the future.

No group's success is guaranteed, even if it comes from SM Entertainment.

and so……

To lead... or even define an era?

They did think about it, but mostly they just kept it to themselves.

However, at this moment, this thought hidden in their hearts was actually spoken by the young man Jiang Yuhe.

The sense of absurdity was simply shocking!

Where did he get his confidence from?

But what followed was a burning ambition that suddenly surged from the hearts of the three men.

Yes.

Even an outsider like Jiang Yuhe can have such ambition and aspirations, so why can't they?

The three people's gazes refocused on Jiang Yuhe, but the meaning behind their gazes was different!

This was also the first time they had looked at the young man in front of them almost as equals.

"Dominating the era, huh...?"

Lee Soo-man smiled, his eyes burning. "Why not?"

In the next instant, a long-lost, boundless ambition suddenly surged forth from him.

Including Kim Young-min, Yoo Young-jin, and... Kwon Yu-ri standing to the side.

Actually, she has a very laid-back personality. Even though she is doing her best to debut, her goal is only to become a member of the final debut group.

As for the more distant future... such as how high this group can ultimately go, she really hadn't thought much about it.

At this moment, Jiang Yuhe's words...

It was like a seed that quietly planted in her heart, making her realize for the first time that her future might hold infinite possibilities!

The look in her eyes as she gazed at Jiang Yuhe became increasingly gleaming.

Lee Soo-man straightened himself, forcibly suppressing the grand vision in his heart, and his gaze became sharp again.

"Yuhe Xi, you've laid so much groundwork... So now, shouldn't you be honest with us and tell us what your ultimate goal is?"

"Hmm... I mean, from the initial exploration of a subsequent album to the later suggestion of a group name, is there... some kind of connection between these two things?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuhe was slightly taken aback, but then understood.

As expected of a legendary figure who personally built the SM empire, his insight alone far surpasses that of ordinary people.

He stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "I have two songs here now."

"One is an original song, and the other is an adaptation of a classic old song. In my personal opinion, both songs, in terms of style, theme, and overall quality, are perfect for..."

He looked up and glanced at Yuri beside him. "Hmm... tracks from their follow-up album."

He didn't make any overly definitive statements.

He wasn't sure if releasing these two songs ahead of time would cause any butterfly effect.

"Two songs?"

Lee Soo-man raised an eyebrow slightly.

He actually had some reservations about Jiang Yuhe's creative abilities.

As mentioned before, being able to sing but not write is a paradox in itself.

But if he can actually produce two more songs of considerable quality, then the doubts about his true talent might finally come to an end.

Lee Soo-man's expression remained unchanged. He smiled and said, "How about... Woo-hyuk sing a song? Let us hear it?"

Then, as if he had thought of something, the corners of his mouth turned up even wider. "I guess... you're still the same as before, only able to sing, right? Do you need us to prepare the recording studio again?"

Even with his thick skin, Kang Woo-hyuk couldn't help but feel a slight flush on his cheeks after being touched by Lee Soo-man.

He quickly cleared his throat and composed himself.

"No need for that. I'll just sing a little a cappella first, so you seniors can get a general idea of ​​what I'm like."

After a brief moment of preparation, Jiang Yuhe began to sing softly.

날아직어리다고……

(Me when I was still a child...)

말하던얄미운욕심쟁이가……

(He was described as a despicable greedy devil...)

Everyone stopped what they were doing, held their breath, and listened intently.

Inside the president's room, only Jiang Yuhe's humming could be heard, flowing slowly.

His voice was extremely clear, and the melody he hummed was very light, lively, and full of energy.

Although it's a bit odd that a boy sang it, the song itself, and the youthful energy it exudes, do indeed fit the image and feeling that young girls should have.

Yu Yongzhen listened quietly, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

However, as the song progressed, his originally relaxed brows slowly began to furrow.

Lee Soo-man also frowned.

But both of them were patient and did not interrupt Jiang Yuhe's humming until the song ended, at which point Yu Yongzhen couldn't wait to ask.

"Yuhe-xi, is your song... an adaptation of... Lee Seung-cheol's 'Girls' Generation'?"

"Inside!"

Jiang Yuhe nodded, not denying it, "I mainly made some pop-oriented adaptations to the song's perspective and emotional expression. It's also more suitable for a girl group to perform and spread."

Lee Soo-man's furrowed brows relaxed the moment he heard Kang Woo-hyuk's explanation, and he suddenly understood.

"No wonder... that's why you mentioned the group name Girls' Generation before."

Jiang Yuhe nodded and said frankly, "Yes, if you all think this adapted version is usable, we may need to communicate with senior Lee Seung-cheol and the relevant copyright holders."

"That's natural."

Lee Soo-man nodded without hesitation, his eyes full of anticipation. "This is what we should do anyway. By the way, you said there were two songs, what about the other one?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuhe blushed again and lowered his head slightly.

"The other one... well, it might need a little more time to sort it out. It might not be convenient to show it today."

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the group.

Jiang Yuhe pursed his lips, trying to calm the shame in his heart.

Because the next song he prepared was none other than "Kissing You," a song that was incredibly popular in the early days of Girls' Generation!

This song has a catchy melody, straightforward lyrics, and is incredibly sweet!

Even if he's thick-skinned enough, just imagining him singing those lyrics full of girlish sentiments in front of a few people is enough to make him clench his toes!

His embarrassed expression naturally did not escape the eyes of the others.

But none of them pressed for more information, after all, Jiang Yuhe had already given them enough surprises!

After a moment's hesitation, Lee Soo-man slowly raised his head. "Woo-hyuk-xi, I must say, the surprise you've given us is truly enormous. So now..."

He took a deep breath, looked directly into Jiang Yuhe's eyes, and said, "It's time to be frank. What do we need to give up to get these things?"

"Or, to put it more bluntly... what do you want from us?"
