Peninsula: The Great Producer

The night is getting darker.

Samseong-dong, T-ara dormitory.

In the room, Park Hyomin lay on her side on the bed, looking at Park Jiyeon who was leaning against the upper bunk armrest across from her and asked softly, "Jiyeon, are you unable to sleep because of the new members joining or because you saw Oppa and IU celebrating Valentine's Day today?"

Park Ji-yeon, who was on the upper bunk, glanced at the curious Park Hyomin.

She didn't want to answer at first, but Park Hyomin asked this question without any other intentions, only concern for her and curiosity about the nature of the matter.

Before Park Ji-yeon could say anything, Park Hyo-min muttered again, "I thought you and Oppa were the closest relatives. They say that to capture someone, you must first capture their stomach. The side dishes made by my aunt are the most delicious I have ever eaten. Oppa also ate them, so he must think so."

"By the way, shouldn't you be sending some snacks to Oppa again in a couple of days?"

After hearing this, Park Ji-yeon, who was on the upper bunk, finally said, "No, he won't send it. He said he rarely has time to eat at home, and if he sends it to me and keeps it in the refrigerator, it will go bad."

"Ah? Is that so?"

Park Hyomin exclaimed, but she did not doubt that Ji Yaojiu deliberately prevented Park Jiyeon from delivering the side dishes to create distance between them.

In fact, Ki Yo-gu is really busy. Park Hyo-min heard about it from the production team when she was recording the show "Youth Never Fails".

Thinking of something, Park Hyomin asked Park Ji-yeon, "By the way, I heard from writer Lee Eun-young that Oppa is discussing the planning of a new program with S Broadcasting Station. Have you received any news?"

Park Ji-yeon replied calmly: "I received it tonight."

"Tonight? When? Don't we always have dinner together tonight?"

After talking to herself, Park Hyomin half sat up and patted her thigh and said, "Oh, I remember now. You and Oppa went outside the store halfway through. That's when you said that, right?"

Park Ji-yeon just said "hmm".

Without continuing to argue with Park Hyomin, he made the excuse of going to bed early, turned over and faced the wall, slowly falling into deep thought.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Park Hyomin stopped chatting with Park Ji-yeon. She wanted Park Ji-yeon to forget all her worries and be happy, but she didn't know what specific method to use to make Park Ji-yeon happy.

Bed.

Park Ji-yeon's mind kept replaying the words that Qi Yaojiu had talked to her alone tonight.

Everyone in the workplace should accept everything arranged by the company. If the addition of new members is a foregone conclusion, all everyone including Park Ji-yeon has to do is accept the new members. The group is a team, and if the team is good, everyone in it will be better.

Even if everyone has their own ideas, they must be tolerant of each other in order to achieve the original goals together.

If a situation that cannot be tolerated really arises, do not easily lose face, and do not form small groups within the team to exclude anyone.

The most important thing is, don't do anything that your seniors do until you are completely close to the level of sisters.

This is Qi Yaojiu's reminder.

When she was at the restaurant door, Park Ji-yeon didn't fully understand the meaning.

Lying on the bed, in the quiet space, Park Ji-yeon understood what Qi Yaojiu meant after careful consideration.

In a small team, everyone has a selfish side, and these will exist, but they cannot exist and cannot be put on the table. This is the best way for individuals and for the team.

Park Ji-yeon was a little confused. Did Qi Yaojiu have a premonition of something? Otherwise, why would he remind her like this?

As for meeting Ji Yaojiu and Lee Ji-eun celebrating Valentine's Day together today, the fact that they were not seen wearing rings or anything was enough. Park Ji-yeon also believed that Ji Yaojiu had no time to care about his personal relationship matters now, especially with Lee Ji-eun, and she, Sulli and others who she only treated as sisters.

Life goes on.

In addition to preparing for the comeback, Park Ji-yeon and the members are also waiting for the arrival of new members every day.

I can’t say whether it’s expectation or not, but I have to face it anyway.

There are more and more rumors in the company, saying that the new member has a wealthy family background, that the new member's father is a certain congressman, and that the representative arranged for the new member to debut in order to please the new member's family for other careers.

It’s April in a blink of an eye.

K Broadcasting Station's first major drama of the year, "Secret Garden," has reached its finale. While the show's ratings weren't as high as "Brilliant Inheritance," as the year's first major drama, it earned excellent reviews for its novel plot, pacing, performances, and flawless ending.

On the second day after the finale of "Secret Garden", the agent found Park Ji-yeon and told her that she would go to K Broadcasting Station for a meeting the next morning.

In the practice room, Ham Eun-jung was the first to walk up to Park Ji-yeon and said, "Thank you for your hard work, maknae."

The other members were also comforting Park Ji-yeon.

Park Ji-yeon shook her head. As long as it could better promote the group, Park Ji-yeon would do her best no matter what the job was.

She wasn't working hard alone. This time, being able to serve as the new MC of K Broadcasting Station's "Music Bank" with Lee Ji-eun is an easy job for Park Ji-yeon.

Park Hyomin stood next to Park Jiyeon and said, "When does the S Broadcasting Station variety show start recording?"

Park Ji-yeon replied: "I don't know either. Oppa didn't tell me."

"Oh, your relationship has eased recently?"

"???"

"Isn't it? Before, you always called me Oppa "you, you, you". I thought..."

Park Ji-yeon changed the subject and said, "I heard another thing."

As expected, the innocent Park Hyomin was immediately attracted by the new topic and asked expectantly, "What's the matter?"

"Want to know?"

"Hmm, I want to know."

"I heard that the company is discussing whether to arrange for their artists to appear on M Broadcasting Station..."

"What's that from M Broadcasting Station?"

"Practice first, I'll talk to Ernie later."

Park Hyomin chased Park Jiyeon to find out what was going on, but Park Jiyeon kept avoiding Park Hyomin.

I was originally in a normal mood, but after playing with Park Hyomin, my mood suddenly became brighter.

We were both in Nonhyeon-dong.

Loen Entertainment.

In the office, Bae Jong-han was persuading Lee Ji-eun: "This song will be the theme song for M Broadcasting Station's flagship variety show 'We Got Married'. This is an opportunity."

Li Zhien is holding the lyrics in her hand, and the title of the song is "Nagging"

The song title is nothing special, and the lyrics are actually okay, describing sweet yet troubled emotions.

The key point is that this song will not be sung by her alone, but will be sung in a duet with Lim Seulong, a member of JYP Entertainment's 2AM group.

A duet of a love song is completely different from a solo performance.

This song is an opportunity for the singer. After all, as the theme song of a top variety show, there is no need to worry about promotion.

But what IU was thinking about was that she had sung a love song with another male singer, and she wondered if Ki Yo-gu would be unhappy if he knew about it.

The reason why Bae Jong-han persuaded Lee Ji-eun was because he guessed the fundamental reason why Lee Ji-eun was not as straightforward and active as before in agreeing to something.

Looking around, Bae Jong-han lowered his voice and said, "Jie Eun, this is just work. Don't think too much about it. I believe PD Qi won't be unhappy about this."

Li Zhien instinctively turned her head to look at Bae Jong-han and said, "What is Oppa talking about? It has nothing to do with him. I am..."

"Yes, yes, it's okay. There's a meeting at K Broadcasting Station tomorrow. You can talk to PD Qi about this and see what he thinks. That should be fine, right?" (End of this chapter)
