People on the Peninsula: I Became a Lucky Koi

"Chansang!"

Minatozaki Sana excitedly rushed into Kim Chan's personal practice room.

The door opened.

Jin Can sat on the sofa and looked at Minatozaki Sana, who was holding a banana in each hand, with surprise.

"Um...PDnim."

When Sana Minato saw Park Jin-young's fake smile, she immediately stopped smiling, awkwardly bowed, and said, "I went to the wrong place."

After saying that, she quickly turned her head and turned back like a mobile force.

Park Jin-young laughed and said, "Kids these days are so impulsive and reckless."

"Sana-san, you have a great personality," Kim Chan chuckled, offering a different perspective.

After his dream last night, he pieced together the framework of the song and went to JYP to discuss it with veteran artist Park Jin-young.

Just as the two were about to continue their previous conversation.

The door to the practice room creaked open a crack.

Sana Minatozaki's head squeezed in, her face flushed, before she remembered why she was there: "San-san, bananas..."

"Aww~" Jin Can quickly got up and rushed over, taking the banana through the crack in the door. "Arigato!"

Sana Minatozaki nodded and whispered, "Of course."

After saying that, he slammed the door shut and ran away…

Mainly, as one of Jin Chan's Japanese teachers, after the four formed a bond, the royal brother would often use his cafeteria card to secretly give everyone extra meals.

Over time, the friendship between them will inevitably reciprocate.

The little episode featuring Sana Minatozaki has come to an end.

Kim Chan returned to his seat, peeled a banana, and politely asked, "PDnim, would you like some?"

"It seems Chan, you've made a lot of friends here?" Park Jin-young smiled and shook his head. "I also heard that you took Nayeon to the hospital when she injured her groin a while ago."

"And that child's wallet, Hirai Momo's Korean..."

Park Jin-young was fully aware of the trainees' movements.

JYP is a small company, so even the slightest disturbance can be noticed by its trainees and staff.

As for Jin Can's deeds at the company, they are almost all about his helpfulness.

Jin Can smiled and said, "It was all a coincidence."

"Excellent qualities, helpful." Park Jin-young was increasingly satisfied with Kim Chan, noting his low-key, humble, honest, and sincere nature.

This perfectly aligns with his core requirements for developing the company's artists.

Jin Can chuckled: "It's all thanks to the company's excellent teaching."

"Ani~" Park Jin-young patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "This is a quality you were born with."

We chatted for a while, which helped us relax.

Jin Can then got back to the main point: "I wanted to make a song with a youthful feel, since the mainstream market is still dominated by dance music."

"Untitled is too sentimental..."

"Do you have a demo?" Park Jin-young became interested. In Kpop, dance music dominates the market, while ballads, R&B, and hip-hop are all minor genres.

Dance music is suitable for the music show system, while slow songs cannot support the stage.

Furthermore, according to the logic of dissemination, a catchy chorus combined with a choreographic dance is likely to go viral, with casual listeners copying and performing it, and it's a must-have for school celebrations, making it the fastest way to gain popularity.

Jin Can: "No."

"What about the lyrics?" Park Jin-young asked again.

There's no fixed way for musicians to produce songs. It all depends on personal preference. Some producers choose to compose, arrange, and write lyrics. Others write the lyrics first, and then arrange and compose the music based on the lyrics and the core message they want to convey.

For creators of almost all cultural and entertainment products, the core issue boils down to one thing: the desire for expression.

"Yes, but not many..."

"Hum a couple of lines and let me hear it."

"Okay, cough cough." Jin Can cleared his throat, recalling the lyrics of the song he had only heard a few words in his dream last night.

He clapped his hands lightly, keeping a bass drum rhythm: "You're my ideal type~ my ideal type~"

"..."

A clear, bright voice hummed the chorus.

Park Jin-young listened intently, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes…

Simple, straightforward, and brainwashing.

But Jin Can suddenly frowned and stopped.

"Keep going," Park Jin-young urged, but the boy only hummed a chorus.

Surprisingly, it's quite good and easy to listen to.

Jin Can rubbed his temples. The aftereffects of path dependence manifested here, causing a brief feeling of mental detachment.

The feeling is hard to describe, but it's somewhat stinging.

However, based on the apocalypse of the previous "Untitled" episode, Jin Can knew that this side effect would last for about 24 hours.

However, the reason for the lyrics getting stuck here is not a side effect.

However, Jin Can was somewhat unclear about the lyrics of the song in his dream last night.

"Forgot your lines?" Park Jin-young asked, puzzled.

Jin Can shook his head. "Ani, only a little bit of the lyrics have been written."

"It's okay, we can improve it gradually," Park Jin-young encouraged.

But then, Jin Can recalled the scene at Everland in his dream last night.

It's obvious that one person is missing.

Bae Suzy wasn't in my dream...

Jin Can took a step forward on the floor.

The thoughts in my mind became clearer and clearer, and the scene of my date with Bae Suzy at Everland last night was still vivid in my mind.

He suddenly turned his head: "PDnim, could you help me write down the lyrics?"

"?" Park Jin-young looked surprised. "What do you mean?"

Is this a live lyrics improvisation?

Jin Can hummed a few more lines of the chorus, then took a step forward:

"Sneakers under slender ankles and ~"

"The perfect match for blue skinny jeans~"

With his youthful voice, Jin Can took another step forward, transforming his singing style into rap.

"Underneath that seemingly oversized cardigan~"

"Her long, flowing hair is so beautiful!"

Park Jin-young couldn't sit still any longer.

He immediately turned on his phone's recording function to write down the lyrics for the child.

My gaze was fixed on Jin Can's figure as he stepped on the floor tiles. After the rap part, a new melody began.

Even without accompaniment, the clean, clear vocals still exuded a light and cheerful melody in the practice room.

"You're my ideal type~"

"The moment I saw you~"

Park Jin-young—stunned the branding iron.

He silently counted Jin Can's steps: one step, two steps, three steps, four steps...

Park Jin-young had heard of the story of Cao Zhi composing a poem in seven steps.

What, is this child going to compose a song in seven steps?

"..."

As the seventh step was completed, Jin Can's singing came to an abrupt end.

He had sorted out everything about the song in his mind. He turned to look at Park Jin-young, whose expression was complicated, raised his arm, and made a gun gesture.

The arrangement simulates the sniper sounds as envisioned.

He smiled radiantly and exclaimed, "Pow!"

"...Did you improvise these lyrics just now?" Park Jin-young took a deep breath, concealing his inner shock.

Jin Can nodded: "Mm."

While it's normal for some singers to be able to write lyrics in a day or even a few hours, Park Jin-young, being a producer himself, was well aware of how well Kim Chan's previously described musical style matched the lyrics written on the spot.

And the chorus, "You are my target of attraction~ my target of attraction~", sounds unremarkable at first listen.

Yet it is unusually straightforward and sweet.

The rest depends on the final arrangement...

"Song title?" Park Jin-young composed himself, his face serious.

Jin Can thought for a moment and said, "MY TYPE (Preference Sniper)".

"How about using it as the main product?"

He humbly asked for advice again.

Park Jin-young looked at his humble and handsome face, her heart filled with mixed feelings: "Okay."

"Surprisingly, it's very similar to YG's style..."

To be honest, he's feeling a bit lost looking at Jin Can in every way now.

The visuals that definitively cemented SM Entertainment's reputation as a "flower field," YG's musical style and fashion sense, and JYP's kindness and honesty...

It seems fitting that he would work for any of the Big Three companies?
