Peninsula: The Deepest Affection in Jiangnan

When Punch first debuted, they started out singing R&B. After not making much progress, they found good opportunities in the OST genre and are now well-known and loved by many in Seoul.

……

"Thank you for coming. We will contact you as soon as possible if there are any further developments."

See, this is the proper procedure for a legitimate company to connect with producers from other companies!

Shen Yu left the StarShip Entertainment building and realized that he had been taken advantage of without doing anything.

The time was early the next morning.

Near Cheongdam-dong Mokryeon Park.

When Shen Yu arrived by subway, he thought that the glass-enclosed high-rise building next door was where StarShip was located.

Unexpectedly, it was a building with a somewhat gray and bare cement architectural style next door.

Of course, compared to a small, low-level agency like 143 Entertainment, this company is at least a medium-sized one, and a stand-alone building is standard for a company of this size.

After Shen Yu called and spoke with the person in charge at Starship yesterday, the other party said they would have time this morning.

Shen Yu was instructed to bring his resume, previous works, and a USB drive containing relevant video recordings or any necessary musical instruments, and to report to the front desk of Starship Entertainment Company on Sancheng Road at 10:00 AM.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yu felt as if he were back in China looking for a job again.

What's wrong? It's wrong everywhere.

But since that's what they asked for, I guess I'll just have to go along with it.

After returning to his apartment, Shen Yu packed a backpack, put in some sheet music he had recently collected, copied a lot of works from his hard drive, and finally decided to carry a classical guitar. He then took the subway to Cheongdam-dong early in the morning.

After arriving on time, I realized I needed to queue for a number; there were several other people coming for interviews today…

Wait, an interview?

"Um, I'm not here for an interview."

"Yes, Mr. Shen Yu, right? Your information has been entered. Don't worry, even if you don't plan to work for StarShip, we will still consider your songs. Do you still need to wait in line?"

"..."

Shen Yu waited in line for a while, and since she didn't wear makeup and had a different hairstyle, no one recognized her as a knock-off of Jeon Jungkook.

Until it was finally his turn.

Upon entering, the first thing to do was to hand in the materials to the interviewees. Shen Yu casually took out a Japanese version of the lyrics and music that he had prepared. He searched in his mind and felt that this song should be quite suitable for IVE's style. If they debuted in Japan, it would be good as a sub-title track or a track included in the album.

This is our first collaboration, so let's leave it at that for now.

Then the interviewers passed it around for a bit, then stared at Shen Yu without saying a word.

"Huh? That's it?" Shen Yu asked, feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at.

"Don't you have anything to show?" one of the women asked, her eyes scanning Shen Yu's appearance and physique.

"Huh? What else do I need to demonstrate?"

When they made eye contact with the StarShip staff, Shen Yu was wearing a pair of glasses without prescription lenses, so he was the only one with eyes in the frame.

Who on the other side knows?

"No, you invited me to say..."

"Alright, Mr. Shen Yu, your time is up. Okay..."

Shen Yu was then asked to leave the office.

The receptionist led him back to the door and then said the same thing she said at the beginning.

"Thank you for coming..."

"Okay, thank you."

Shen Yu nodded to the receptionist.

Shen Yu felt that a whole morning had passed, and both time and A4 paper had been wasted on this.

As for Shen Yu's agent?

Because Limelight's project has been put on the agenda, a lot of debut materials need to be filmed now.

As the head of the department, Xu Youqing wanted to also manage Shen Yu, but she had three young girls to manage, and the two inexperienced agents from 143 Entertainment were simply not enough.

The current situation is that they're practically treating Shen Yu like a cow or a horse to help with the filming of promotional materials, so where would they find the time to drive him to Starship?

The popularity of "Still With You" on TikTok has recently declined, and BTS's latest news is the start of their official enlistment plan, which is being discussed all over the internet. Shim Yu's popularity has also plummeted.

Shen Yu scrolled through his phone, deciding to figure out which person to associate with to create a big scandal.

Then I took the subway and arrived at Olympic Park Station in Gangdong District.

As I exited the subway, I looked back at the sparsely populated Olympic Park and the high-rise residential buildings on the side.

Shen Yu felt an urge to take the guitar off his back, open the guitar case, place it in front of him, and start performing for money.

"Hey, really cool guitarist, can I have your Instagram?"

"..."

Upon hearing this voice, Shen Yu suppressed the urge to burst out laughing.

Helplessly tidying her hair, she said, "This is so awkward."

"Hey, do you have a girlfriend? It's okay, I just wanted to get closer to you, that's why I asked. How about we go over there and talk?"

"..."

"Hahaha."

Shen Yu turned around speechlessly, and saw Choi Ji-soo smiling happily, holding a Pocket 3 and filming the two of them meeting.

Shen Yu had previously accepted the girl's invitation to meet in Seoul, and he originally thought that the journey to the starship would be quick, but he did not expect it to be so fast that he was caught off guard.

I thought I would arrive early, but it turns out that Choi Ji-soo arrived just as late.

"How's it going? Do you need to continue filming? I was worried you wouldn't have enough camera positions, so I brought you another one."

Choi Ji-soo happily showed off her Pocket 3, twirling it around in front of Shen Yu and taking pictures of him from every angle.

Anyway, Shen Yu was dressed quite in a folk style today, while Choi Ji-soo?

A light pink turtleneck knit vest paired with loose-fitting low-waisted cargo pants.

Shen Yu carefully glanced at the barely visible waistline.

In addition, the side braid with the plait hanging down in front of her chest gives her a gentle and graceful feel, reducing her usual aloofness.

and so.

"Okay, one is fine. Let's use your camera to shoot today."

Shen Yu went to the "interview" today, so he didn't bring his gimbal camera.

"Okay, here you can have this. It's quite heavy."

Pocket 3 wasn't heavy, and Shen Yu glanced at Choi Ji-soo's slender arms, deciding it was better for him to carry it himself.

He took the camera and looked at the girl next to him. Both of them had work commitments today, but that didn't stop them from having a simple get-together.

Shen Yu's stated purpose was to continue filming related vlogs, although he didn't bring a camera with him.

Choi Ji-soo expressed her willingness to help her friend by modeling for him again, and helped him with the outfit.

and so.

"Where are you in the editing stage of your vlog? Is it because you have too much great footage and don't know where to start?"

"hehe."

Shen Yu was thinking about how to edit a vlog full of Choi Ji-soo until you could only tell that she was a person without blurring her face.

"So, what kind of vlog are you planning to shoot today?"

"This is called recording the good things in life."
