Peninsula: I created the golden age of girl groups

"Have you thought of any ideas?" Jiang Yuhe asked hurriedly.

"As I said before, the so-called open talent show is nominally open to the public, but the real targets are people from other companies."

Pei Zhonghan smiled, his gaze becoming increasingly strange as he scrutinized Jiang Yuhe.

"Therefore, besides the organizers, only qualified aspiring idols and their accompanying parents are allowed to enter the venue..."

"Um?"

Jiang Yuhe raised an eyebrow, vaguely guessing what was going on.

Pei Zhonghan nodded.

"So... what if the person who went in wasn't LOEN's artist manager, Kang Woo-hyuk, but a young man named Kang Woo-hyuk who harbored dreams of becoming a star?"

"I?"

Jiang Yuhe narrowed his eyes slightly and pointed to himself.

"Yes, it's you!"

Bae Jong-han thought about it more and more and felt that this idea was reliable:

Judging from his appearance, Jiang Yuhe is definitely qualified, with a tall figure and extremely handsome features.

After all, how bad could something be if it meets Manman's aesthetic standards (although he didn't know)?

Although he's a bit older, he's only 20 years old.

The only slightly jarring thing is that, according to industry insiders, Jiang Yuhe should be considered to have already debuted through variety shows.

But it's not a big problem; at least it has a certain level of recognition and generates its own buzz.

At worst, he can say that he participated in "X-MAN" to gain experience and increase exposure. Moreover, many idol groups have entertainment specialists, which can even become his unique advantage!

Jiang Yuhe was also stunned by this outlandish suggestion.

But after calming down and thinking about it carefully, it seems to actually be a solution!

The idea of ​​disguising oneself as an idol aspirant and sneaking into the event to find someone... sounds a bit far-fetched.

But this is the best solution they can think of right now.

Besides, what's a little risk compared to the girl whose future is destined to illuminate an era?

For a moment, the office fell silent.

Jiang Yuhe's brows were furrowed, and he was clearly going through an internal struggle.

Bae Jong-han also held his breath, nervously watching Kang Woo-hyuk, waiting for him to make the final decision.

After thinking for a moment, he added, "This is the only time; we really couldn't find anyone on short notice. We won't need you to step in next time."

Jiang Yuhe pondered for a moment, then finally let out a long sigh.

"What preparations do I need to make?"

Pei Zhonghan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he even felt a little excited.

This kind of extreme stimulation caused his adrenaline to surge for the first time in a long time.

But he quickly calmed down.

"First, there's the identity aspect, which is readily available; just state the facts. This includes things like age."

"Secondly, vocal fundamentals..."

Bae Jong-han looked up cautiously at Kang Woo-hyuk, "This... you're alright, aren't you?"

He remained cautious.

After all, JYP is a big company, and most of the trainees who go to participate in the auditions are well-trained trainees, and singing and dancing are their basic skills.

Although their main goal is to find people, if they behave too outrageously during the selection process, the situation could be quite awkward...

Therefore, he must confirm it first.

Jiang Yuhe smiled confidently, "As for singing, I should be fine. Just tell me how much preparation I need!"

Bae Jong-han breathed a sigh of relief. "Each company is slightly different, so it's best to prepare a song in advance to showcase your singing skills. Of course, having an original song would definitely be a plus. But we're just going in to find people, so it doesn't matter if we don't have one."

Jiang Yuhe nodded. "Okay, I understand. Leave this to me!"

"Besides that, there's dance... Many auditions, especially those held by companies like JYP that emphasize overall ability, usually require a dance demonstration."

Upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Jiang Yuhe's face.

Dancing... that's definitely not something he knows.

Seeing this, Bae Jong-han quickly added, "However, if one's singing skills are outstanding enough, a weakness in dancing can be made up for. All-around idols are ultimately a minority."

Jiang Yuhe nodded, somewhat helplessly, "Then let's focus on preparing the singing part first. As for the dance... I can only do my best and cram for now."

"it is good."

Bae Jong-han stood up. "Then I'll go register for you first. Luckily, I just found out that JYP's target audience this time is quite broad. You only need to log in to the official website and fill in the information. You don't need to prepare a self-introduction video or anything like that, which saves you some trouble."

"Thank you for your hard work, Chung Han. I'll make the rest of the preparations in advance."

The two immediately split up and began to act.

Fortunately, they made their decision in time, and the registration channel was not completely closed, so Jiang Yuhe was able to complete the identity registration smoothly.

The selection will take place the afternoon of the following day.

……

The next day at noon, Kang Woo-hyuk and Bae Jong-han met on time downstairs at LOEN Entertainment.

To avoid attracting attention, he borrowed an ordinary black sedan from Lee Sung-soo and drove Bae Jong-han to the Gangnam Youth Culture Center in Seoul.

After all, this open audition attracted several hundred participants, and JYP's current headquarters building really can't accommodate that many people.

Two blocks from our destination, the road gradually became congested.

The vehicle moved slowly, and it took a long time to finally arrive at a place not far from the cultural center.

Looking out the window, the scene was already bustling with noise.

The sidewalks and the square were packed with young people.

From naive teenagers of twelve or thirteen to young men and women in their early twenties, everyone was dressed up carefully, their faces filled with excitement, nervousness, and anticipation.

Many people were accompanied by their parents, and the air was filled with a cacophony of sounds, creating a restless atmosphere.

"This is quite a show of force..."

Looking out at the traffic jam, Pei Zhonghan shook his head with a sigh. "Every year so many children come with dreams, but how many actually make it to the end?"

Jiang Yuhe nodded silently.

It seems that only fervor can truly describe the scene before our eyes.

There was nothing else they could do but park their car a little further away from the cultural center and walk there.

"Oh, right."

Bae Jong-han suddenly seemed to remember something and lowered his voice to Kang Woo-hyuk, saying, "Kang... cough, from now on, you are Kang Woo-hyuk, an aspiring idol with dreams, and I am your uncle who came with you to participate in the selection. Don't let it slip later."

"Okay, Uncle!" Jiang Yuhe adapted quite quickly and got into character.

The two were slowly moving forward with the flow of people.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a casual suit squeezed through from the side.

He handed me a business card with a warm smile.

"Hello, young man! I'm an agent from Starlight Entertainment. I see you have outstanding looks and a unique charisma. Would you be interested in giving our company a try? Although our company isn't as big as JYP, the atmosphere is more relaxed, we're extremely friendly to newcomers, and there are more opportunities to get ahead."

Jiang Yuhe was taken aback and subconsciously touched his mask.

He was still wearing it.

The man seemed to notice his confusion and quickly explained, "Well, we people in this line of work have sharp eyes. Your figure, proportions, and even the bone structure of your eyebrows and eyes can't be hidden by a mask. But JYP's selection process is notoriously strict; they can only pick a few out of hundreds of applicants. And even if you're selected, the internal competition is fierce, making it difficult to stand out."

"Why not try coming here? You might have more opportunities."

As he spoke, he shoved the business card into Jiang Yuhe's hand again.

"If you're not selected here, or if you feel it's not a good fit, feel free to call me anytime! Our company is nearby, and we can arrange an interview anytime!"

There has been no response from Jiang Yuhe yet.

The man's gaze was then drawn to a tall figure in the distance. He quickly left a message saying, "Remember to think about it," before squeezing towards his new target.

"This... is this the legendary talent scout?" Jiang Yuhe held the ordinary-looking business card, somewhat amused and exasperated.

Pei Zhonghan nodded, looking completely unsurprised.

"Large companies have high barriers to entry, but they are very attractive, so these small and medium-sized companies can only use this method to find bargains."

"However, they're not entirely wrong. Of the hundreds of people here, you could probably count the number on two hands. But their company..."

He glanced at the flashy logos and exaggerated slogans on the business card. "Out of ten, you'd be lucky if half of them are reliable. The rest, it's probably a matter of luck."

"This road looks clean and tidy, but there are plenty of potholes inside!"
