also responded to those who had been urging him to participate in the rap program "ey". The audience at the scene didn't understand the lyrics and didn't think much about it, but people watching the l..., the Peninsula Asteroid

"If someone like IU’s popularity is exposed, I guess the agency wouldn't stop other Girls’ Generation members from dating either."

Chi Jingyuan thought about it and made his own judgment.

Actually, most artists' relationships can't escape the prying eyes of the media paparazzi or even private informants. After all, as idols under the spotlight, they aren't necessarily equipped with strong counter-intelligence awareness.

Of course, there are also idols with extremely strong confidentiality awareness. They don't even tell their dormitory members about their relationships. Every date is like a secret meeting, extremely careful. Even paparazzi and sasaeng fans can't take pictures of her dating.

There are also idols like this, but there are too few of them.

Most others haven't been exposed because their economic companies did PR to prevent the news from affecting the group's development and making money.

And many of those exposed, either the agencies don't want to stop them, or they can't stop them.

"It should be like this, after all, Girls' Generation, who has debuted for seven years, has reached the final flowering period of a girl group and will inevitably begin to decline."

Park Jai-hyun nodded thoughtfully, then added with a hint of meaning: "And this year is already the contract year..."

As the two chatted about this explosive news, they soon arrived at the front of JYP's building.

Although JYP is also considered one of the top three agencies, it has actually fallen behind the other two. Not only does it currently have several groups and a rising star like EXO, but even YG has pulled ahead of JYP.

At this moment, there aren't many fans gathered outside the building. Amongst the JYP groups currently active on the peninsula, besides 2PM, the other groups like ITZY and TWICE have decent public favorability but not a large number of dedicated fans. This is evident from their sales figures.

And 2A has been tepid since its debut. It's not a typical boy band either. Compared to idol groups that focus on singing and dancing, 2A is more like four singers forming a team. Although they are singers, their vocals are not particularly outstanding, nor do they have any breakout hits. Besides, they lack the inherent advantage in terms of appearance.

The most popular 2p recently has been active in Japan, and naturally fans have been waiting outside for him.

Compared to the oppressive darkness in front of S's door, JYP building's entrance was a little more desolate at this time.

He glanced at the massive poster of himself, Park Jin-young, on the building to his left, and Chil Kyung-won shook his head slightly before preparing to walk straight in. At that moment, he casually caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye at the right building next to it.

At this time, in front of the entrance to the practice building where JYP's trainees live, a well-maintained middle-aged woman is leading a girl who isn't very tall and has long hair over her shoulders. She looks up at the building in front of them, while two staff members seem to be explaining something beside her.

From this angle of the pool, Ji Jingyuan couldn't see the girl's face clearly. However, he didn't pay too much attention, just glanced at her before withdrawing his gaze and following Pu Zaihyun directly into the left building.

The girl seemed to feel Ji Jingyuan's gaze, turned her head and looked over, but she could only see a somewhat familiar back quickly walk into the building and disappear from sight.

"What are you looking at" The middle-aged woman, seeing her daughter's gaze, followed her eyes but saw nothing. She couldn't help but ask.

"I thought I saw someone familiar just now, but it was probably just my imagination." Minami said, turning her head slowly and hesitating for a moment.

Novel

"I saw it too. It must be one of our company's debuted artists, after all, wearing a hat and mask is the standard idol outfit."

A staff member just saw Ji Jingyuan, but didn't recognize him.

After a quick glance at each other, they didn't chat much. They took a look at the main entrance and then walked into the right building.

On the other side, the ground floor of the left building was a parking lot. As soon as Chi Jingyuan got off the elevator on the second floor, he received enthusiastic reception from the front desk staff:

"Jingyuan xi, Park Jin-young pd ni has already briefed you, when you arrive, just go to the large practice room on the third floor and find him. IU xi is there too, I'll take you there now."

"Come in, Konrad," Let me know if you have anything else I can help with!

Looking at this very enthusiastic front desk sister, Chi Jingyuan also smiled and nodded, following her into the elevator.

Although she was very enthusiastic and clearly interested in Ji Sung, JYP's receptionist controlled the situation well. Besides a greeting, she didn't say anything that could cause trouble throughout the process. She quickly led them to the third-floor practice room where Park Jinyoung was located.

A faint sound of music came from behind the closed door. Ji Jingyuan was startled, and he knocked on the door. Soon a voice said, "Come in," and he pushed the door open and walked in.

In the center of this large practice room, six girls are dancing in unison to the accompaniment. Near the wall, several people who look like teachers' assistants each hold a whiteboard with A4 paper and are writing and drawing as they watch, seemingly evaluating the dance before their eyes.

Park Jin-young was sitting seriously on a chair against the wall, watching the dance of several girls in the middle, while Suzy sat next to him, looking not very focused.

After Pool Jingyuan walked in, the music and dancing didn't stop. A few teachers glanced at him before looking away. Park Jin-young saw Pool Jingyuan and immediately smiled without saying a word. He waved to him quickly, beckoning him to sit beside him.

Ji Jingyuan blinked, a little surprised by the scene before him. This clearly was JYP internally evaluating trainees, and his presence here as someone from S company seemed rather out of place.

Although the other party had initiated the invitation, he didn't hesitate. He politely bowed to several teachers and Park Jin-young as he walked past them along the wall with his shoulder bag on his back.

He walked up to Park Jin-young and Suzy's side. Both of them were smiling at him, Park Jin-young pointed to an empty bench next to them, and Ji Chang-wook naturally sat down.

Then, the other person pointed at the six girls who were dancing, clearly wanting Chi Jingyuan to watch along. Chi Jingyuan nodded without saying anything and started watching with them.

Several people who were dancing also clearly saw Chi Jingyuan. Surprise flashed in their eyes, but after all, they were still being assessed, so everyone forcefully suppressed their astonishment.

However, Chi Jingyuan still noticed that several people's movements stiffened noticeably, probably because they were affected by him.

He sat down and realized that he knew all of these people. He had seen them perform at the showcase hosted by s and jyp together before. They were the new girl group that jyp was planning to debut soon, the name sounded like 6ix.

They danced to Issa's "Bad Girl Good Girl". The original singer, Suzy Bae, was sitting right there, which was pretty interesting.

As the song ended, the six people bowed to the onlookers and then stood in a line, silently waiting for the teachers' evaluation.

Chi Jingyuan felt that several people were secretly looking at him. After he looked over, besides a guy with prominent rabbit teeth whom he remembered well, the others quickly shifted their gazes away.

"Jingyuan, how do you feel about their dancing"

It was then that Park Jeong-young took the initiative to speak, greeting him with a smile before asking him a question.

"Great." Chi Jingyuan nodded, squinting with a bright smile.

Although the smile looked good, everyone present was in the industry, and anyone could tell at a glance that it was purely for business.

"Don't just brush me off, give me your opinion." Park Jin-young looked at him with dissatisfaction. His eyes didn't squint intentionally, but they still seemed small.

Both 6ix and Suzy looked at Ji-won, their eyes either expectant or playful.

"Ani oh, pdni, I'm just a newcomer who has only been out for over a year, so I don't have the qualifications to evaluate others."

Chi Jingyuan shrugged, he had a very clear understanding of his own positioning.

"You always do this..."

Park Jin-young looked at him with some helplessness, his eyes widening a bit: "This collaboration, you are also considered one of the producers. There's nothing unqualified about that. During your EXO practice sessions, I heard that your opinions and insights were very accurate."

"Just throwing this out there, what do you think of our company's upcoming girl group" he pressed on.

"Hmm..."

Chi Jingyuan felt the eyes of the gathering on him. A smile never left his face, but after two seconds of contemplation, he blinked and nodded at the other party: "Great."

"Haha..." Bae Suzy couldn't hold back and burst into laughter, quickly covering her mouth with her hand. Her eyes crinkled as she looked at Ji Kyeong-won.

"Forget it..."

Park Jin-young shook his head silently, giving up on the idea of having Ji Seong evaluate. He pointed to the six girls on the field and said to him: "Unless something unexpected happens, they are estimated to officially debut in April this year. When you meet them on TV and at events later, Ji Seong, don't forget to take care of them."

"PDNI, I am..."

As soon as Chi Jingyuan was about to speak, he was interrupted by the other party.

"You're just a rookie who debuted less than a year ago. Who are you to look after others, huh"

As soon as Park Jin-young saw Ji-seong's expression, he knew what he was going to say. He directly interrupted him and repeated what Ji-seong was about to say in his tone of voice.

"Oh my, I didn't expect pdni to know me so well."

Qi Jingyuan looked at the other person in surprise, a little surprised.

This time, not only Pei Suzy, but even several trainee idols standing in the middle couldn't help but laugh.

"Ai Xi, Jing Yuan, you little rascal. Can't you stop putting on airs in front of me"

“

Park Jin-young looked at Ji Kyeong-won with displeasure, but his tone was quite friendly: "Where did that aura go when you fought a senior in front of so many people during the music competition rehearsal the other day The one who got knocked unconscious and couldn't get up for half a day"

When he said that, Bae Suzy didn't react much. She just remembered what happened a few days ago and her eyes lit up when she looked at Ji Kyeong-won.

And the trainees who heard the news for the first time were all very surprised. They looked at each other and exchanged glances, then stared in astonishment at Ji-won, who was smiling brightly. They couldn't connect this man in front of them with the person Park Jin-young had said beat up their senior.

"Oh, Ani, where did you hear those rumors about pdni"

Chi Jingyuan let out a helpless smile and tried to defend himself: "How could that be considered beating someone up It was just a joke with my senior."

"Haha..." Bae Suzy, who was present the whole time, burst out laughing. This was her first time privately interacting with Ji Kyung-won and also her first glimpse of his contrasting personality.

Her smile hasn't stopped since just now, she only feels that this boy who left a deep impression on her a few days ago is really interesting.

Park Jin-young finally couldn't help but laugh, shaking his head helplessly and saying no more.

After that, Park Jin-young and several teachers gave 6ix some feedback, pointing out their mistakes and shortcomings. They encouraged and urged them for a while before leaving with the words: "Alright, you guys practice first. I'll come back in a few days." Then, they left the practice room with Jiungwon and Suzy.

"Pdni…" In the corridor, Ji Jingyuan and Pei Xiuzhi walked side by side behind Park Zhenying. He took a look at the surrounding environment and just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted.

"You can just call me Zhenying ge in private, many of the artists in our company call me that."

Park Jin-young first corrected Chik's name, then continued, "By the way, our company is about to debut a male group. They are currently practicing at the company. Would you like to go take a look"

"When will the new boy group be announced" Ji Jingyuan asked curiously, he was hearing about this news for the first time.

"Yesterday…" Park Jung-hyeon's face turned slightly dark upon hearing this, and he squeezed out two words from his mouth.

"Hmm..." Qi Jingyuan hesitated for a moment before nodding in understanding.

Yesterday, January 1st, JYP Entertainment released a statement, officially announcing the debut of their newest boy group GOT7. They also announced that their official debut will be on January 15th.

But this news, which should have attracted a lot of attention, was completely overshadowed by IU's dating news. In the face of this popular member of Girls' Generation, GOT7's debut announcement was like a stone sinking into a lake, causing no ripples at all.

This makes JYP, who has high hopes for this boy group, feel like his luck is at its worst. Just thinking about it makes him feel a bit worse.

"The debut date is set for the 15th, let's go and have this senior idol group, who is currently the hottest, assess their skills."

Park Bo-young's enthusiasm was hard to resist, so Ji-yeong could only follow her to GOT7's practice room. After greeting them, she watched them perform a dance segment.

From his perspective, Ji Jingyuan thought this new boy group was pretty good. Although most of the members weren't particularly refined in appearance besides one or two individuals, they all had great physiques and were at least significantly taller than EXO on average.

After watching the dance, it seemed like the dancers had quite a lot of skill. It's clear they practiced for a long time.

It's worth mentioning that their performance was quite interesting. They performed songs from their debut album, and the choreography was quite complex, with several moves that looked very dangerous and difficult, almost like acrobatic flips. I wonder what special meaning they were trying to convey with these moves.

After the last lesson, Park Jin-yeong learned her lesson and didn't ask Ji-seong to give his opinion. Instead, she encouraged him a few times before finally taking both of them to the music room where they would be working today.

When working, Pook was not needed to be present. He greeted Ji-gyeong after briefly meeting with him and then left first. They agreed that he would send a message when he left.

Although they had just watched the performances of both JYP's girl and boy groups, it was only about twenty minutes, and they didn't waste much time. Once in the music room, the two sat down, Park Jin-young fiddled with some documents for a while before starting to discuss the preparation plan for this single with them.

"Regarding your schedule, we've already communicated with S and provided the timetable to your manager. Besides EXO's and your personal schedules, the remaining time will be dedicated to preparing for this collaboration single."

"For a little over half a month, besides practicing and recording, we also had to shoot videos. There were also a few days where you guys had your own schedules. Overall, our time was pretty tight."

After confirming the specific time arrangements, we moved on to the main topic of this collaboration single.

“The song ‘so’ that you wrote, Jingyuan, is really great. I tried writing a few songs myself afterward, but none of them had the same feeling as yours. It's truly perfect for a male and female duet.” Park Jin-yeong held the sheet music and exclaimed in admiration.

"That's really nice, and Jingyuan is amazing. " Pei Suzy nodded in agreement too.

Ji Chang Wook and Kim Tae Yeon's collaboration for this deo has been recorded many times already. Although the arrangement isn't complete yet and some accompaniment is still rough, the song's essence and strengths are truly showcased by their excellent vocals and full of emotion performance.

“This song mainly reflects the ambiguity between a man and a woman before they formally define their relationship. The expression of emotion is very important, and the voice must have a captivating quality that makes listeners feel a tingling sensation in their hearts.”

Park Jin-young expressed his overall opinion of the song, then looked at Ji-won and gestured: "I understand what Sooji's doing, Ji-won, you go ahead and sing it first. I want to get a feel for your performance, even though I've heard you sing it many times on TV, nothing beats hearing it live."

Then I'll give it a try.

Chi Jingyuan nodded lightly, cleared his throat, and then sang in a clear voice.

His singing voice has always been Ji Jingyuan's strong point. He is very talented in this area and expresses a wide range of feelings very well. He can be said to be blessed by the heavens.

"Very good, indeed. Your singing is truly amazing. The tone in your voice is so pleasing."

After listening, Park Jin-young's eyes lit up and he kept nodding in approval. In the end, he jokingly said: "Jingyuan, I feel like you're very familiar with this kind of ambiguity between men and women, you've grasped it perfectly."

“.....” Chi Jingyuan politely smiled at him, looking a little shy.

"Your voice is great, but I feel the air was a little lacking." Park Jin-young offered his opinion.

"Air"

When he heard this word, Chi Jingyuan was a little puzzled.

"Inside, I think the most perfect way to sing is half air and half voice. This kind of singing style is the most accurate for interpreting songs and expressing emotions. We JYP…"

Speaking of this, Park Jin-young became interested and took the initiative to explain it to Ji Kyeong-won. While talking, he occasionally made 'ha' sounds with his voice as a demonstration, looking like a good teacher.

Chi Jingyuan was a little speechless. After listening, he pursed his lips and said, "I think I understand. Let me try again."

After finishing, he sang two more lines under the other person's interested gaze.

After trying it himself, Chi Jingyuan felt that JYP's secret "half air, half voice" singing technique was not as mystical as Park Jin-young described. It was actually just about using diaphragmatic breathing to wrap the voice, which wasn't difficult for Chi Jingyuan at all.

"Nice, very good!" After hearing this, Park Jin-yeong's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands, expressing amazement at Ji Kyengwon's spirit.

"Okay, let's practice this first."

Under Park Jin-young's guidance, Ji-sung and Suzy began practicing the song and singing together.

…………

Looking at the sheet music in his hands, Ji Jingyuan caught Pei Xiuzhi's gaze from the corner of his eye.

It has already been almost two hours of practice, and Park Jin-young just went out because something came up. Right now, there are only the two of them left in the music room.

Today, Bae Suzy wore a close-fitting black knitted turtleneck underneath a large gray down jacket. She had a fuzzy hat perched on the back of her shoulders with brown wavy long hair cascading over it.

The bottom is ordinary jeans paired with a light blue pair of snow boots. The pant legs are tucked into the boots, making the calves appear slender and long.

"Is Soo-ji watching me do everything" Ki-yeong raised his head, meeting Bae Soo-ji's curious gaze without shying away.

"You're so handsome."

Bae Suzy threw a straight ball and blinked her big eyes as if it were perfectly natural.

With her innocent yet slightly sexy appearance that is endearing, a direct hit from her would be devastating to most people.

"Well, Conrad Miranda, many people say the same thing."

Chi Jingyuan's face didn't flush, his heart didn't skip a beat. He smiled and thanked her.

"I believe this." Bae Suzy confirmed with a smile.

"Soo-ji is really pretty, she has a great aura." Ji-yeong reciprocated the compliment, genuinely praising the other person in return.

Pei Xiuzhi's beauty, height, and charisma stand out among idols. It's no wonder she is loved by many. She enjoys high popularity and recognition on the peninsula. She has numerous advertising endorsements, far surpassing other members of her group.

"That's because you think I'm so pretty, why didn't you take the initiative to get my contact information" Bae Suzy played with her hair, her big eyes sparkling as she looked at him, hinting something.

"How do you know I didn't want to Wasn't Brother Zhenying just being annoying here a moment ago"

Qi Jingyuan looked at her eyes, blinked, and his expression was full of disdain for Park Zhen-young.

"Haha, jjia"

"Of course." Chi Jingyuan nodded, then directly took out his phone and looked up to ask, "What's Xiu Zhi's contact information"

"Here, my phone number..." She cheerfully gave out her phone number and social media information, watching as Chi Jingyuan typed it into his phone. A smile played on the corner of her lips.

"Is that so easy I heard from other friends in my circle that Jingyuan xi is quite hard to get close to. Not only is it difficult to find his contact information, but it's also not easy to become familiar with him. Is that true"

Seeing Ji Chang Wook put his phone away, Suzy moved closer, resting her chin on her hand and looking at him with curiosity.

"Yes, that's right."

Ji Jingyuan nodded in acknowledgment, he didn't have any intention of hiding anything. After putting his phone away, he turned to look at Suzy Bae and said in a matter-of-fact and earnest tone: "So this proves that I wasn't lying just now."

"What didn't you lie about"

"You're right, you are pretty and have a great aura." Pool Jingyuan shrugged his shoulders and tried to suppress the corners of his mouth.

"Puchi..." Bae Suzy couldn't hold back and covered her mouth with a laugh, her eyes forming a crescent moon. It seemed like she was in a really good mood after hearing that sentence.

She laughed for a moment, her hair trembling slightly, then tilted her head and looked at Chi Jingyuan, mimicking his words just now and said with a smile: "Nei, Kang Sang Mi Da, many people say that too."

"Haha..."

Their eyes met, and they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
