Peninsula: It’s just a dream, are you serious?

Chapter 559 Taiyun: Stare! Chen Yan: Bad! (Requesting double monthly votes!)

Somewhere in Cheongju on the peninsula, the latest episode of Running Man is being filmed.

At this moment, the guests and MCs in the room were all intrigued by the special guest suddenly announced by Zhao Xiaozhen.

As Zhao Xiaozhen asked, "Director Chen, what did you think of the guests' performance just now?", the guests and several MCs present were subconsciously stunned.

The next second, Kim Tae-yeon and the others realized what was happening.

Director Chen? It can't be.
Just then, a voice responded from behind: "I think it's very interesting."

Upon hearing the sound, everyone immediately turned around.

Chen Yan, dressed in a black suit, stood with a smile on his face next to the back panel of the stage.

After a brief moment of surprise, Yoo Jae-suk was the first to react and quickly went to meet him.

"Aigoo, it really is Director Chen."

After greeting Yoo Jae-suk with a smile, Chen Yan followed him to the center of the group.

As he walked, he greeted Kim Tae-yeon, Im Yoon-ah, Tao, Jung Soo-jung, Lee Ji-eun, and Bae Suzy with his eyes.

The group stared at him, still somewhat stunned, clearly not expecting his sudden appearance.

When they realized what had happened, their expressions were unconsciously somewhat speechless.

Peach and Bae Soo-ji, who had told him they would be coming, couldn't help but give him a reproachful look.

However, since they are all female celebrities, their facial expressions were still very well managed.

When they faced the camera again, smiles had returned to their faces.

Here, following Yoo Jae-suk to the center, the other MCs quickly bowed and greeted Chen Yan.

"Let's welcome Director Chen."

Everyone immediately applauded.

Chen Yan smiled and said, "You don't need to call me Director. Just call me by my name. I'm here to record a program today, so it's more convenient to address me this way."

Upon hearing this, Yoo Jae-suk secretly glanced at Jo Hyo-jin.

Seeing him nod, she smiled and replied, "Please say hello to the audience, Chen Yanxi."

Chen Yan looked at a camera pointing directly at him and greeted it with a smile.

Another round of applause erupted from the audience.

Yoo Jae-suk continued to control the situation: "Wow, I really didn't expect Chen Yanxi to come to our show today. This must be your first time appearing on a variety show, right?"

Chen Yan smiled and nodded: "Yes."

"No wonder the PD said that all the guests here today have one thing in common. Now that I look at it, all the guests here have worked with Chen Yanxi before."

The group looked at each other, then nodded in realization; it was indeed true.

Chen Yan suddenly shook his head: "It doesn't seem so. I haven't collaborated with Zhi En before. 'Pink High Heels' is a song she wrote herself."

Yoo Jae-suk paused for a moment, about to reply, when Lee Ji-eun spoke first, glaring at him angrily.

"Oppa, wasn't it you who sang 'Nagging' with me at the concert last month?"

Chen Yan paused for a moment, then looked as if he had just remembered something: "Oh, right, we sang 'Nagging' together."

Lee Ji-eun was still glaring at him angrily.

Did this oppa really forget, or was he just doing it for the show?
But then Chen Yan pointed at her and said, "Oh, you should have sung 'Nagging' with Ji Hyo noona just now, then I would have known. Why did you choose 'Pink High Heels'?"

Lee Ji-eun looked bewildered: "I'm making a comeback, oppa! Shouldn't I be promoting my new song on the show? Why are you singing 'Nagging'?"

Chen Yan was taken aback again: "Oh right, you're making a comeback now."

I couldn't help but roll my eyes at this oppa. Lee Ji-eun now knows he's just doing it for the show.

Chen Yan is not such a forgetful person at all.

Those watching the two's little interaction had already burst out laughing.

After laughing, Yoo Jae-suk, who was standing next to Chen Yan, had a fleeting look in his eyes.

This Director Chen certainly has a knack for variety shows.

As he turned his head, he saw the writer holding up a sign asking him to mention Chen Yan's work.

Yoo Jae-suk quickly looked at Ji Suk-jin: "Suk-jin hyung, have you heard the songs written by Chen Yanxi?"

Ji Suk-jin was clearly taken aback, then glanced at Bae Soo-ji beside him, and a sudden idea struck him.

"I know, it's Miss A's 'Bad Girl Good Girl'."

Those present were momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter.

Bae Suzy smiled and waved her hands repeatedly.

Yoo Jae-suk looked like he had expected this: "I knew it."

Ji Suk-jin belatedly realized: "Isn't that right?"

Lee Kwang-soo, who was standing next to him, immediately complained, "Hyung, please spend some time online sometimes, don't really act like an old man."

"This guy is really something. There were so many correct answers on the field, but he just had to choose the wrong one."

"Brother, Girls' Generation's 'I Got a Boy,' Girl's Day's 'Something,' Apink's 'Nonono,' and f(x)'s 'First Wisdom Tooth' are all works by Chen Yanxi."

"Oh."

Ji Suk-jin responded with an awkward laugh, his elderly persona remaining firmly established.

After laughing, Bae Suzy cleverly seized the opportunity to promote the album, saying, "Oppa did write a song for us and produced an album, but that one won't be officially released until the beginning of next month. It's not this song."

“Miss A is making a comeback, and it’s another work by Chen Yanxi. Chen Yanxi has really released a lot of works this year.”

Yoo Jae-suk picked up the conversation at the right moment, and was about to wrap things up when he saw the writer holding up a sign asking him to say a few more words.

He quickly changed his tune: "Perhaps Chen Yanxi has any other unreleased works besides miss A's comeback song?"

Chen Yan thought for a moment: "There's another song I'll be collaborating on with Suzy later, it's a duet."

"Oh? Is it already finished?"

"Correct."

Yoo Jae-suk's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Bae Suzy: "Suzy, have you heard the song?"

Bae Suzy nodded happily: "Yeah~ I've heard it, it's really, really, really good, I like it a lot."

Then she dropped another bombshell: "And oppa will be singing this song with me."

What? Sing together?

Everyone around was quite surprised, including the production team.

This is quite a highlight and a major point of publicity! This popular producer is actually going to collaborate with Suzy on a song.

Yoo Jae-suk looked at Chen Yan: "Is it true, Chen Yan-xi? Are you going to collaborate with Suzy on a song?"

"Yes, I hope everyone will support us then."

Chen Yan smiled and nodded, admitting it.

"Wow, that's really exciting!"

Yoo Jae-suk remarked with emotion, just as he was about to end the topic.

At this moment, Lee Ji-eun suddenly raised her hand, seemingly unwilling to admit defeat, and said, "Actually, I also have a song with oppa later, which is also a duet. Oppa will sing the male part, and the lyrics were written by oppa and me together."

As she spoke, she secretly gave Bae Suzy a look.

Bae Suzy pouted and ignored her.

The others were surprised again.

Another song, you're so prolific!

Chen Yan maintained his smile and glanced at everyone.

The next second, however, their eyes met those of Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah, who seemed to be both smiling and not smiling.

How come we didn't know you wrote songs for them, and that you sang them all as duets? You're awful!
The smile on Chen Yan's face froze instantly, and he thought to himself, "Oh no!"

His mind raced, and he quickly came up with a solution, saying:
"Actually, I will also have an OST for a TV drama at the end of the year, which is also an SBS drama. I plan to ask Taeyeon noona to sing this OST."

One sentence brought everyone's attention back.

Kim Tae-yeon blinked: "Really?"

"Yes, we will formally extend an invitation to SM Entertainment at that time."

"Okay, thanks Xiaoyan~"

Hmph, since you know you're thinking of me, I'll let you off this time.

When the topic of drama OSTs came up, Yoo Jae-suk chimed in.

"Yes, the ending theme song of the currently airing drama 'The Heirs' was also written by Chen Yanxi, and it's a drama starring Yoona and Krystal."

When they were mentioned, Yoona and Krystal immediately smiled and nodded, and under Yoo Jae-suk's guidance, they did a promotional presentation for the drama.

Seeing this, Chen Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking how close he had come to disaster.

That's the downside of having too many family members over; casual conversations can easily lead to trouble.

After a brief chat, PD Cho Hyo-jin announced today's competition rules.

"Everyone, today is the Idol Emperor Special. In each round of the game, all teams will receive a card with the length of time written on it. The first place team has the longest time, and the time for each subsequent team will be reduced accordingly. Chen Yanxi will be joining IU and Ji Hyo's team as a special guest."

He made this arrangement because he had reasonable suspicion that Lee Ji-eun and Chen Yan were dating.

"Okay."

Lee Ji-eun was overjoyed; being on the same team as her oppa would be the best outcome.

At this moment, Bae Suzy suddenly asked, "PDnim, is the team going to stay the same until the very end?"

Upon hearing this, all the other guests turned their attention to this location.

Zhao Xiaozhen shook his head: "No, the team that wins first place in each round of the game can choose to change their partner."

"Swish" "Swish"

Chen Yan instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Hey, Xiuzhi, why are you looking at Chen Yanxi?"

"Sulli and Krystal were the same; their eyes immediately went to Chen Yanxi."

"Taeyeon too, it's the first time I've seen her react so quickly on a show."

“Eunji Naeun, and Ayoung Minah too.”

Lee Ji-eun instinctively reached out and grabbed Chen Yan's arm beside her.

A group of people were eyeing her covetously, and she suddenly became the target of everyone's attacks.

The next six groups will travel to the next destination in three minivans. Each group will send one person to play rock-paper-scissors, and the winner will get to choose their partner first.

After a brief competition, Peach won first place and grinned as she pointed towards her oppa.

"I want to ride in the same car as Ji-eun and the others."

After completing their group tasks, all the guests and MCs went back to their vans to change into team uniforms that were easier to move in.

Chen Yan's team uniform was orange. After changing his clothes, he got out of the car and walked towards the shared van not far away.

After walking a short distance, a van in front of them suddenly opened, and Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah, dressed in blue team uniforms, jumped out of the car.

Upon seeing Chen Yan, both of them wrinkled their noses at him and stood there watching him, waiting for him to come over.

Chen Yan smiled awkwardly and walked up to the two of them: "Noona, Yoona."

Kim Tae-yeon gave a light snort and raised her clenched little fist: "Why didn't you tell me you were coming to record the show today?"

"Because the production team asked me to keep it a secret, I didn't expect Noona and Yoona to come to record the show."

Chen Yan replied, then asked in return, "Didn't you guys not tell me either?"

He genuinely didn't know that Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah would be recording the show today; he only found out when he saw them come out in the waiting room.

"Nuna, didn't you say you had activities in Singapore? Why did you suddenly come back?"

“The event in Singapore doesn’t need this many people. Jessica and the others can stay there, while Yoona and I will come back to record the show. Yoona can also promote her new drama. She’ll be going back to the set to film tomorrow.”

"Oh."

Yoona, who was next to him, raised her little fist and punched him lightly, saying with a smile, "You'd better figure out what to do when we play the game later."

The threat in his words was undisguised.

Chen Yan grinned.

That's what he's afraid of.

Both are my children, so it's really hard to use my hands when we're playing games.

The three chatted for a while, and then people got out of the vans next to them after changing their clothes. They stopped chatting and went to meet up with their teammates.

Soon, both teams arrived, the car slowly started moving, and headed towards the next destination.

On the bus, Tao, Jung Soo-jung, and Lee Kwang-soo, all wearing green team uniforms, sat in the last row.

Song Ji-hyo, Lee Ji-eun, and Chen Yan sat in the front row.

The boys wore simple short-sleeved shirts and shorts, while the girls wore super short hot pants, revealing a pair of fair and slender legs that were quite eye-catching.

If they weren't filming a show right now, and if there weren't VJs, drivers, and outsiders like Song Ji-hyo and Lee Kwang-soo around, Chen Yan probably would have already started doing it.

The six people sat in the car chatting and laughing, occasionally glancing at the scenery outside the window, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

After one topic ended, Lee Kwang-soo thought for a moment, looked at Taozi next to him, and asked, "Between Chen Yanxi and me, Sulli, who is your ideal type?"

Variety shows definitely need to find interesting topics, and the topic of men and women is a topic that gets a lot of discussion.

Song Ji-hyo, sitting in the front row, turned and looked at him speechlessly: "Ugh, is there even a need for a choice?"

Lee Kwang-soo didn't say anything, but instead struck a pose, turning his head at a 45-degree angle to look out the car window, looking like a handsome man with a deep and melancholic air.

However, the next second, Peach's unwavering answer shattered this illusion: "Chen Yan oppa."

Her eyes darted around, and she explained with a smile, "Kwangsoo oppa looked too melancholy just now. I prefer the sunny and handsome type."

Chen Yan turned his head at the right moment and gave his peach a warm and sunny smile.

Peach's smile widened, and her eyes curved into crescent moons.

Lee Kwang-soo, seemingly unwilling to give up, looked at Lee Ji-eun again and asked once more.

He learned his lesson and flashed what he thought was a sunny and handsome smile, but it actually sounded more like a joke.

Lee Ji-eun couldn't help but laugh after making eye contact with this oppa for just one second.

"Sorry oppa, I choose Chen Yan oppa, he's my teammate."

"Soojung, is Chen Yanxi your choice too?"

Krystal Jung covered her mouth, smiled, and nodded: "I like the type who loves fitness and has a good figure."

Chen Yan then raised his hand at the opportune moment, revealing biceps that were even thicker than Lee Kwang-soo's arm.

Stop now, Lee Kwang-soo.

The three female guests in this van are all my people.

Lee Kwang-soo suddenly uttered a series of melodious birdsong, causing everyone to burst into laughter. The atmosphere in the car did not become awkward; instead, it became even more lively.

After chatting for a while, Lee Kwang-soo, who had roughly figured out Chen Yan's personality, looked at him and said:

"Chen Yanxi, today's guests are all female guests you've worked with before. How about we play the Ideal Type World Cup?"

"Swish" "swish" "swish"

Lee Ji-eun, Tao, and Jung Soo-jung's eyes locked on each other instantly.

The smile on Chen Yan's face froze.

Come again? !
