Peninsula 2017: Is the system living in the past?

Everyone is listening to the rain.

Design Director of GGPX, a women's casual wear brand.

The brand belongs to Yeonseung Apparel, a well-known South Korean apparel company.

Since its inception, the company has focused on the design concepts of Glamorous Sexy and Sexy Casual.

The clothing designs are visually striking and highly recognizable, often incorporating elements such as leopard print, snake print, sheer fabrics, and slim-fit denim.

It emphasizes the beauty of a woman's curves, her confidence and assertiveness, and her urban chic.

It enjoys good popularity in China, and has stores in major department stores such as Lotte and Hyundai.

GGPX is extremely selective when choosing its brand ambassadors.

They consistently favor top icons who possess exceptional fashion acumen and whose public image is closely tied to "sexiness, confidence, and charisma."

Last night at Dongdaemun Design Plaza, the Seoul Fashion Week runway.

While Park Hyo-min was chatting with a fashion magazine editor she knew, Do-won came over to say hello and exchanged contact information.

I thought it would just be a casual encounter at a fashion show, a few simple words exchanged.

I never expected that they would contact me just one night later.

Based on what she said on the phone, it seemed she was interested in signing a contract with me?

This phone call was also to arrange a time to meet and discuss things in detail.

Of course, this isn't an artist's management contract, but rather a clothing endorsement.

"Isn't that a good thing?"

Hearing her explanation, Jiang Xingchen and Park Jiyeon both agreed that it was a good thing.

However, Park Jiyeon quickly realized something.

If we sign a contract now, wouldn't we be giving money away to MBK Entertainment for nothing?

To be honest.

Although Jiang Xingchen had previously told her that the most important thing was to make the most of the next few months and that any benefits could be put aside, she was still convinced that Jiang Xingchen was right.

But when reality hits you, it's really frustrating!

"Hey, I wasn't trying to fool you, it was just a reasonable choice made under the current circumstances."

Jiang Xingchen rolled her eyes. "Haven't you heard? If you sneak into a village, don't let them shoot you!"

This time, they made quite a fuss to complete a task related to Park Hyo-min.

The mission is now complete.

But it also caused him trouble.

This system is clearly run by a straight man. Doesn't he know that the most taboo thing when it comes to women is not treating them equally?

As he spoke, he also mentally complained about the system.

Then, another suggestion was put forward.

Since the other party took the initiative to call and invite us to meet for a detailed discussion, rather than going through MBK Entertainment, they must have had this in mind.

We'll have to wait until we meet to discuss everything in detail.

If it's negotiable.

The timing of the collaboration will be determined after their exclusive contract with MBK Entertainment expires; there won't be any issues then.

However, let's return to the principle I just mentioned.

It needs to be kept discreet.

To avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

Having played villains in the entertainment industry for so long, and still managing to stay standing, it would be an insult to Kim Kwang-soo if he didn't have some talent.

If they hear any rumors and try to sabotage them, it won't be good for them.

"So, Jiyeon, who am I?"

"Advisor Jiang!"

"Bingo...very good!"

He snapped his fingers, a look of approval on his face.

The letter of intent is confidential and cannot be known to others for the time being.

There are also things to be careful about in verbal address, so as not to leave any evidence against you.

"Hmph..." Park Jiyeon twitched her nose and let out a smug snort.

Park Hyo-min then added, "By the way, Director Do also said that if there's a chance, he'd like to meet designer Mr. K."

"Looks like we've got more business coming in?"

"You never know, there might even be an opportunity for collaboration!"

Do you have time?

"Anyway, tomorrow won't work. Jiyeon and I have plans for tomorrow."

When business comes knocking, why wouldn't you go?

I'm not short of money right now, but that's from a personal perspective.

For EPOCH, it's a matter of being poor.

To earn more money, it would be good to quickly rent a spacious and bright venue.

So that people won't immediately think it's unreliable!

"Then why don't you let me pay more for consulting services?"

"no the same."

"What's different?"

Good news came knocking, and Park Hyo-min's tone gradually relaxed.

"That's right..."

Park Jiyeon chimed in, "Anyone who didn't know better would think you had other ideas!"

Umm ...

These words left Jiang Xingchen at a loss for words.

If you're not after money, then you're after a woman's body.

Don't even think about it, it's the same sentence.

Instead of responding, he opened a webpage, quickly typed a few keys on the keyboard, and information about GGPX clothing popped up.

And, past spokespeople.

Wow...

Lee Hyori, Kate Moss.

They are all big celebrities.

They all fit the brand's design concept.

"It's getting late, and I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now."

"I'll contact you again once we've arranged a time."

Seeing that he was already in the zone, Park Hyomin, who felt that she had achieved her goal for the day, did not intend to stay any longer.

He put his phone back in his bag and stood up.

Before leaving, he looked at Park Jiyeon again.

"Jiyeon, what time are you going to the practice room tomorrow?"

Around 10 a.m.

"Then I'll come and take a look too."

"Is Unnie coming too?"

"Um?"

...

...

the next day.

Yongsan-gu, Seoul.

A practice room that is rented out to the public.

In other words, the four of them rented the place themselves for practice.

The rent is not low.

But it's worth the price.

A little after 9:30, the door was opened from the outside.

Park Hyomin walked in wearing a simple white T-shirt, high-waisted retro jeans, and a silk scarf.

When I saw the figure already wearing a crop top and cargo pants, and already moving around, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

It feels like it's been a long time since I've seen Park Jiyeon so full of energy.

Just as she was lost in thought, Park Jiyeon saw her in the mirror, and without turning her head, raised her hand and waved it twice in front of the mirror.

"Unnie, you're here!"

"Well, I didn't have anything else to do, so I came early."

After regaining her composure, she nodded, then paused slightly, "I didn't expect you to arrive so early. Didn't you say ten o'clock?"

"I've been practicing really hard lately!"

"The dance choreographed by Consultant Jiang?"

"Hmm, although the overall difficulty isn't very high, and there's practically no movement involved, there are a lot of small, intricate movements, so it can be a bit strenuous!"

Park Jiyeon said with a hint of complaint.

But the smile on her face was impossible to hide.

Although I've been a bit tired these past few days, I've had a feeling that I used to have.

Park Hyo-min placed the bag she was carrying on the table beside her.

I picked up the tablet that wasn't locked.

The interface is paused.

I thought it was a video recorded by Park Jiyeon herself, so I clicked on it without thinking.

But what came into view was a masked person dressed in black clothes and pants, with a black face mask.

If I hadn't already known that this dance was choreographed by Jiang Xingchen...

Seeing this masked man, she probably wouldn't connect the two of them at all.

"He knows a lot!"

"It's not just that..."

After finishing her warm-up, Park Jiyeon walked over with a smile, rested her chin on her shoulder, and said with a smile that her skill level was really high.

Then he reached out and dragged the progress bar.

Pointing to the figure on the screen, he said, "It was through this figure's back that I discovered his secret!"

Just then, a knocking sound came from the door.

Then, an unfamiliar voice rang out.

"Hey customer, your delivery's at your door. Remember to leave a five-star review!"

"You ordered takeout so early?"

"Ani, it must be Consultant Jiang who's here."

"But that's not his voice!"

"That's just how he is. He likes to say strange things and do embarrassing things without ever feeling ashamed."

"You seem to know quite a bit about this!"

"These features are just too prominent."

"That seems to be true..."

"I said, shouldn't we go open the door first?"

"Oops..."
