Peninsula 2017: Is the system living in the past?

The worst thing is comparison.

For example, Park Ji-yeon is now digging up old grievances.

Jiang Xingchen was speechless after hearing those words.

because...

When we first met, he was indeed just making empty promises.

Even that dance that was specially choreographed for her.

It happened just a few days ago.

In comparison...

"Stop, stop, stop..."

Following Park Jiyeon's words further, he really needed to apply for a private room on the Han River.

"So, people shouldn't be too proactive!"

"I shouldn't have contacted you first; I should have waited."

"Who knows, there might even be an unexpected bonus!"

Park Jiyeon, who was interrupted, glanced at the photos on the tablet.

Park Hyo-min held up her camera and took pictures of the photographers, reporters, and audience members outside the venue.

A brief moment of surprise on people's faces.

And the sudden surge of fervor that followed after realizing what she was doing.

Looking at it, it's really quite enviable.

As her thoughts drifted to this point, she pursed her lips and looked up again.

Jiang Xingchen seemed to know what she wanted to say, chuckled twice, and then slowly said, "Wait two more days, I have my own arrangements for these things."

"Are you referring to two days in real terms, or is it a quantifier?"

"I should have recorded this."

Seeing her determined attitude, Jiang Xingchen seized the opportunity to complain, "Next time I see Hyomin, I'll have to make her compensate me for my emotional distress."

Is Park Ji-yeon innocent?

It's just a simple thing!

There's absolutely no psychological pressure about lying through your teeth.

Park Jiyeon didn't take his words to heart. Instead, she rested her chin on her hands, blinked, and acted cute.

"Look how pretty and cute I am, can't you just give me a reassuring answer?"

"The day after tomorrow, I'm going to rent some equipment, and then I'll go to the practice room you rented!"

It has been proven that women need to learn to utilize their strengths.

See? The effect is obvious!

After receiving a satisfactory answer, she picked up her chopsticks again and continued eating the noodles, which had cooled down to a temperature that was just right for eating.

"Hey, when I grant you those requests, don't make any demands that are beyond your capabilities!"

Jiang Xingchen, who was also planning to continue eating noodles, looked up again as she looked down and gave a worried reminder.

With increased contact these days.

His past positive impression of Park Jiyeon has almost completely shattered.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"Now that you say that, I'm actually a little worried."

"Advisor Jiang, we agreed to trust each other, but your actions are putting me in a difficult position!"

"Alright, I'll shut up."

"Is this almost enough..."

Ding ding...

Just as Park Jiyeon was gaining the upper hand in their banter, her phone, which was lying on the old leather sofa, rang twice.

After quickly slurping up a mouthful of noodles, she got up to see what the message was.

After seeing the sender and the content, she pursed her lips slightly and then turned to Jiang Xingchen.

"Hyomin unnie said she needs to talk to you and asked for my phone number!"

"oh!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xingchen's eyes lit up. "Is this because you shone brightly at Fashion Week and want to thank me?"

"You wish."

"Quickly give her my number; I want to hear how she'll thank me!"

"It's already been sent!"

"Kansahamida..."

"whispering sound..."

Although he sounded like he was in a hurry to talk to Park Hyomin, Park Jiyeon felt inexplicably relaxed.

After spitting lightly, a smile appeared on his face.

A few seconds after the number was sent, Park Hyo-min called back.

"Cough cough..."

Jiang Xingchen cleared her throat before pressing the answer button, "Yabu Seyo."

"Yabseyo, advisor-nim."

"Hyomin-ssi, you were definitely the center of attention at Fashion Week tonight!"

"Well, this is also thanks to the design concept of our consultant, Nim."

"It's enough if you can prove I'm not a fraud."

Upon hearing this from the receiver, Park Hyo-min couldn't help but chuckle softly.

However, that's all in the past, so we didn't dwell on it too much and instead got down to the important matter of making the call.

"It can't be that someone saw your performance today and is asking for my contact information, can it?"

"That's right. The representative director of Banana Culture Entertainment asked me for the contact information of my consultant."

"Banana Culture? Wasn't it called YeDang Entertainment before?"

Upon suddenly hearing the word "Banana," Jiang Xingchen paused for a few seconds, thinking that in 2017, Young Master Wang was still active in the Korean entertainment industry.

A few seconds later, I realized which company it was.

It's the company that owns the girl group EXID, created by Shinsadong Tiger.

"Yes, it's them."

Seeing that Jiang Xingchen seemed to recognize the company, Park Hyomin immediately chimed in and quickly recounted the whole story.

It will probably be at tonight's after-party.

Chen Yu-fan, the representative director of Banana Culture Entertainment, came to her door while she was chatting with a fashion magazine editor.

The purpose is as I just mentioned, to get Mr. K's contact information.

She couldn't agree immediately, so she decided to ask Jiang Xingchen for his opinion.

But then something embarrassing happened.

She, the spokesperson who publicly claimed that this "neo-retro" concept was created by "Mr. K" himself, did not have his phone number.

So he made up a random excuse and sent a message to Park Jiyeon.

She knew that Park Jiyeon would most likely be glued to her phone whenever she had free time.

that's the truth.

Therefore, after getting the number, I called immediately.

"I think I know why they contacted me."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xingchen searched her mind for relevant information about Banana Culture Entertainment from the past year or two.

That gave me a general idea of ​​what had happened.

Team leader Xu Luzhi needs to take a long-term break due to hyperthyroidism.

This meant that EXID could only make a comeback as a group of four.

This is where the problem lies.

Although one of their public labels is sexiness, with leader Heo Solji around, it's not entirely about sexiness.

The captain is currently absent.

This has led to some obvious problems.

This can be seen from the success of their third mini-album, "Eclipse," released on April 10th in the first half of the year.

Besides the impact of strong newcomers like Twice and Blackpink, there are also reasons why fans are not satisfied with their performances.

If I remember correctly, their fourth mini-album, "Full Moon," is also in preparation and will soon enter the promotion and comeback phase.

Chen Yufan approached him at this time, probably because he noticed Park Hyomin's change in appearance compared to the previous few days and had developed this idea.

I want to make some changes to my comeback look for the new album.

With a few seconds to spare, Jiang Xingchen had already sorted out the whole situation.

He never expected that Park Hyo-min would give him such a thank-you gift.

This is much better than just saying thank you!

Money!

Banana Culture Entertainment's money.

He's determined to win.

Even Jesus coming wouldn't have helped.

"Hyomin-ssi, then please give them my practice method."

"Inside."

Park Hyo-min responded and turned to Chen Yu-fan, who was waiting to the side, "Mr. K has already agreed."
