Peninsula: 72 Hours of Blind Dates

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

The manager became even more certain that something was wrong with the members of nmixx.

He pressed further, "You didn't do anything to make me lose my job, did you? If you did, tell me now so I can be mentally prepared."

Wu Haiyuan responded, "Nothing at all. We were just talking about what to have for lunch today."

"What are we having for lunch today? Really?"

The answer was unanimous again: "Yes."

The manager shrugged and said, "No matter what, just hang in there for two more days. After the music show on M Broadcasting Station tomorrow, you'll have a break. You can completely relax for two weeks. You can manage your figures when you come back after the break. I can make that decision."

"But whatever you do, don't gain 20 pounds in a 15-day holiday, I really can't explain it."

The members waved and laughed, telling their manager not to worry, as it was impossible for one person to gain 20 pounds in 15 days.

After the casual conversation, the manager said with a serious expression, "You probably already know some things. After the holiday ends and we return to the company, we'll start preparing for the comeback album."

"As your comeback album after 23 years, the company has decided to produce a mini-album for nmixx, which will include a total of 6 songs, including the title track. It will be your first official mini-album since your debut and also the album with the most songs."

The members listened intently to their manager, their eyes sparkling with anticipation. They genuinely hadn't heard anything about the comeback album beforehand.

Given the current situation of nmixx, they will definitely make a comeback next year. After all, the results of their debut album, comeback single, and Christmas limited song this year were all satisfactory. It's unlikely that they would be "frozen out" by the company for more than a year due to poor performance, and instead spend their days practicing in the practice room to improve themselves.

There were also some surprises. They're releasing their second mini-album in their second year since debuting, which is similar to ITZY's pace. It's normal, at least for the members of NmixX, who are looking forward to it.

It's not just about the return arrangements.

The information the agent mentioned that he might know is related to the comeback show that the agent talked about later.

The nmixx members really know something.

They also check the fan club; the members all saw the schedule post, so the information posted by the fan club president couldn't possibly be fake.

Only when the manager confirmed it to them personally did the members finally feel completely relieved.

Their understanding is limited to the format of fan meetings.

The agent's confirmation is the first step, meaning the company will not change the already established plan.

The manager explained what the comeback show was, which surprised and delighted the members even more.

It wasn't the fan meeting I was imagining. It would be more accurate to call it a mini-tour.

Furthermore, the company directly planned and prepared six shows for the comeback show, including Seoul and Busan, the two largest economic cities in South Korea, as well as overseas port cities, Olympic cities, and island nations Kyoto and Nagoya.

The manager's original words were that, according to data analysis, the company's top three countries for Nmixx album sales were South Korea, China, and Japan, and also the top three countries in terms of fan base.

China's data in all aspects is overwhelming, accounting for about half.

Unfortunately, JYP Entertainment was unable to coordinate with mainland Chinese cities to prepare small-scale performances under the current circumstances, which is why the venues were set in Hong Kong and Macau, two international cities.

After delivering the good news, the manager added, "So, from now on, you need to master more Mandarin and Japanese to facilitate communication and interaction with fans during the tour. The company's suggestion is to prepare a song in both Mandarin and Japanese to show your sincerity and attitude to the fans."

"song?"

"Yes, there's still plenty of time. Your language courses have already laid a solid foundation."

usually?

The members looked at each other.

Before their debut, they had a very "extensive" language course, learning Chinese, Japanese, English, and Spanish.

However, after their debut, their language courses were reduced, and they were only learning Spanish. The company's development strategy for them was previously to expand into the Americas.

To be honest, the members of the Chinese and Japanese language groups have almost forgotten what they learned, and only a few of the simplest greetings are still remembered.

When Wu Haiyuan and Han Xijun were filming "72 Hours of Blind Date" in Japan, they almost always communicated and translated through Han Xijun.

The agent left.

The members collapsed instantly.

Zhang Guizhen muttered, "It would be great if Unnie could learn. My brother-in-law speaks both Chinese and Japanese, so it would be incredibly easy for Unnie to learn."

Kim Ji-woo asked, "Will the company reassign a language teacher?"

Pei Zhenshu said, "Of course we will. Otherwise, would you expect us to learn on our own? How could that be possible?"

Lily said, "English communication is simple. I think it's actually possible to communicate in English."

"Sincerity, unnie, sincerity and attitude."

"That's right, songs in Chinese, songs in Japanese, ah~ Chinese songs are okay, I can sing 'Tian Mi Mi'."

"Unnie will?" Lyli cleared her throat and hummed, "Sweet, sweet, your smile is so sweet..."

"Oh~"

A gasp of amazement.

Lily waved her hand shyly: "I learned all of that before."

Xue Lun'e muttered, "But Huaxia is going to Hong Kong and Macau, so the songs we need to prepare should be Cantonese songs, right?"

Everyone was surprised that Xue Lun'e knew Cantonese.

Unlike their elders in the 1970s and 80s, people of their generation were not like those from Hong Kong. During that period, Hong Kong films were popular throughout Asia, and Hong Kong stars could cause a sensation when they came to H country.

Many people from that era, including national MC Yoo Jae-suk, could sing one or two Cantonese songs, especially the most classic movie "A Better Tomorrow," and could even recite the plot. The popular hairstyles at the time were also those of Hong Kong stars.

Young people nowadays rarely pay attention to films from Hong Kong.

Very few movies can be shown in H country, unless they are works by international superstar Jack.

"What should we do?"

Everyone looked at Wu Haiyuan.

Wu Haiyuan is the team leader, and she needs to step up at this time.

Wu Haiyuan frowned and muttered, "To be honest, I don't know what to prepare. If it's a Cantonese song, Xueyun, do you have any suggestions for Cantonese songs?"

Xue Lun'e shook her head and said, "I met a player from Hong Kong in the game LoL and we chatted in the game, but we didn't talk about these things."

"Ask around, ask the people in the port city what kind of songs they like to listen to."

Xue Lun'e hesitated and said, "I don't know if I'll ever meet that player again."

"Can't you add friends in the game?"

"No additions"

"Xueyun~"

Wu Haiyuan took a deep breath and said, "Let me ask. Han Xijun might know."

"My brother-in-law?"

It seemed like the members didn't really believe it. Wu Haiyuan also lacked confidence.

If it's about AI or something, you can definitely get the answer from Han Xijun regarding technology.

He doesn't pay attention to the songs, especially the Cantonese songs from Hong Kong.

Wu Haiyuan was just trying his luck, mainly because Han Xijun was watching short videos, just in case.

You can also follow them when you're watching short videos.
