Peninsula: The Deepest Affection in Jiangnan

Before coming, Shen Yu had considered the possibilities and felt that the person looking for him might not be Representative Yang.

It's probably just some staff member who mentioned that they've taken a liking to a song they've registered with the copyright association.

Everyone talks about their friendship, discusses the contract, and finally agrees on a one-stop service for the next legal contract, which at most involves a business dinner.

When he first started his own MCN, this was the routine he used; Shen Yu knew it very well and was adept at it.

But the scene before me was really different from what I had imagined.

Xu Youqing pulled Shen Yu directly to the front desk, where the receptionist skillfully gave Xu Youqing a temporary employee card and a temporary work badge.

Xu Youqing picked up the employee badge, stood in front of Shen Yu, and hung it around Shen Yu's neck on tiptoe.

"..."

"Be good, follow me. This place is very big, you'll get lost."

When they were hanging up their employee badges, it was the first time the two of them were so close to each other, and Shen Yu could even smell the refreshing scent of white flowers.

Okay, with such a beautiful older sister leading the way, I should be able to keep up.

Shen Yu followed Xu Youqing closely, and they eventually arrived at an office.

Seeing the man wearing a newsboy cap even in the office, Shen Yu suddenly had a lot to complain about.

"No, is your company's management really that lax?"

What Shen Yu didn't know was that although YG was one of the three major entertainment companies, its internal management was actually the most unreliable among the three.

A society based on personal connections is condensed throughout YG Entertainment.

Therefore, it is considered to be the company with the worst employee reviews among the three major and one black companies.

A prime example of a makeshift operation, completely dominated by Yang Xianshuo.

And now Yang Hyun-suk is standing in front of Shen Yu.

"Sir, let me introduce this place..."

"Oh, no need. I met him when he was little, and I always thought he'd be a genius. If I'd brought him to my company earlier, Shen Yu would definitely have become someone like G-Dragon!"

No, sir, who are you?

"Calling me by any formality is too formal, Shen Yu. Just call me Uncle Yang."

"..."

Shen Yu had a strange feeling about who he was, where he was, and what he was there for.

Xu Youqing was slightly surprised, but considering Shen Yu's father, she could understand.

"I've listened to 'Still With You' many times. It's very good. The arrangement is very creative, especially the addition of electric guitar chords and jazz drum beats."

Yang Hyun-suk tapped out a beat, "That's swag, something only naturally talented people possess. Your voice has it too, and most importantly, your appearance is very much in line with current trends."

Shen Yu looked puzzled. Didn't you not care about an artist's appearance?

Otherwise, the outside world wouldn't describe SM as a flower field, JYP as an organic farm, and YG as a standard mine.

It doesn't matter if you're covered in dust and dirt; what matters is discovering your hidden talents.

But what Shen Yu didn't know was that after experiencing the K-pop environment over the years, as Yang Dangdai grew older, he also started to value looks.

The Babymomo girls selected in the future are all good-looking, and the six leading ladies are among them.

"I've listened to some of the demos you left at the Copyright Society. They're all very imaginative songs. So, are you interested in working for YG?"

Xu Youqing was surprised that Yang Xianshuo had such a high opinion of Shen Yu.

Isn't this person hopelessly stuck in their sarcastic persona?

After The Black Label and YG separated into two separate buildings, Teddy's relationship with Yang Hyun-suk gradually became strained.

Teddy, who can write so many famous songs, is not the kind of person who would submit to others.

YG's culture also originated from R&B (Black Pop).

The fact that they waited until now to separate actually shows Teddy's resilience.

Of course, this also shows that Yang Xianshuo can keep things under control.

If it weren't for the numerous incidents that have plagued YG in recent years, making it seem like TBL would have gone much later to become independent.

As YG's shareholding in TBL decreases, the possibility of TBL completely relocating and leaving YG's shadow is inevitable.

TBL's gradual departure from YG's influence also took many producers with it.

The producers are the foundation of the company, not artists who are simply products pushed out.

Over the years, many well-known YG producers, such as 24, Kush, R.Tee, and Vince, have been relegated to non-YG headquarters after TBL became a separate label.

Shen Yu's existence just happened to suit Yang Hyun-suk's wishes.

YG Entertainment has always operated on a "go with the flow" mentality, and is extremely bureaucratic.

Representative Yang thinks you're capable, so you are; if you're not, you're not. It's not up to you to decide.

Looking at Shen Yu standing in front of him, Yang Xianshuo felt more and more that this young man was quite capable.

"that……"

Shen Yu planned to explain that he wasn't actually interested in changing companies.

However, Yang Hyun-suk typically doesn't give you any chance to speak.

"It's okay, there's no need to decide right away. Maybe I was too direct, but how about this, Qing, take Shen Yu for a walk around the building. Have you guys eaten yet? YG's cafeteria is the most enviable cafeteria in the entire Seoul entertainment circle. Take him to see it and let him experience it."

That's it for seeing the guests off...

*

"...Actually, if you choose to come to YG, it will be better than 143 Entertainment."

It wasn't out of fan bias, nor because of how happy she was during her seven years at YG; Heo Yoo-jung was simply offering advice to Shen Yu from an objective perspective.

It's true she works for 143 Entertainment now, but who would want to work if it weren't for making a living?

If it were YG Entertainment, then that would be realizing one's dream.

But what Shen Yu was thinking was...

I won.

Better than JYP.

When JYP brought his songs to SM Entertainment, they practically kicked him out as soon as they saw him.

They didn't even consider letting JYP work at SM Entertainment; they just asked him if he would sell his songs.

Look at Shen Yu now, Yang Hyun-suk actually has the idea of ​​poaching him, and he can even be praised by a notoriously sharp-tongued man for his talent and good looks. If it were someone else instead of Shen Yu, they would probably bow down and completely join YG's camp.

But having once managed an MCN company, Shen Yu wouldn't let the other party's reputation cloud his judgment.

"I have no plans to leave 143 Entertainment."

"No way, you haven't really fallen for any of those trainees, have you? Abe and Yao?"

Shen Yu knew that Xu Youqing must be aware that he had taken the trainees out to eat.

"They're still just kids."

"Heh, alright, think it over yourself. To be honest, even if you become one of the important producers in LimeLight's debut, it's not a particularly prestigious honor."

Shen Yu hadn't considered LimeLight, or even the future of Madein.

After having dinner with Abe last time, he wondered if he could take advantage of her time as a trainee to create a unique OST girl similar to LeeBada or Heize.

But now it seems that plans can't keep up with changes.
