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

Chapter 564 Lee Soon-kyu's happiness and Jung Soo-yeon's distress
Time flies, and several days have passed in the blink of an eye. It's Sunday, October 20th.

Today is also the day that the episode of Running Man that Chen Yan and his team recorded on Monday will air.

Regarding Chen Yan's participation in the recording of Running Man, there was actually a lot of news about it online on Monday, the day the recording ended.

During the recording, some passersby and the group of students from Chungbuk National University were present.

Although the production team had communicated with these people to avoid revealing the guests' identities online in advance, they still had their own ways of doing things.

If you don't want me to reveal who the guests are, then I won't. But I'll just say online that this episode's guests are amazing, is that okay?

So these people started posting online saying they had bumped into or participated in the recording of Running Man, saying that the guests invited for this episode were absolutely top-tier.

After some netizens and fans noticed these posts online, they left messages below the posts, asking who the guests were.

These people naturally became riddle solvers, revealing not a single word and engaging in a game of cryptic mystery with netizens.

When netizens couldn't get any information out of them, they turned to the Running Man production team and Chen Yan's SNS comment section for verification.

The Running Man production team naturally wouldn't tell netizens this, but instead, riding the wave of popularity, they started playing the bait game.

They also contacted Chen Yan and others who participated in the recording, asking them not to respond to the matter for the time being.

The next morning, the production team posted a specially edited video on their official account, indicating that a total of ten guests participated in the recording of this episode, in addition to one mystery guest.

However, the guests' figures were all blurred, making it impossible to tell who was who.

This deliberately mysterious approach has certainly piqued the interest of netizens, who have started speculating about the guests' identities based on the trailers released by the production team.

In the following days, the production team would post an edited trailer video on their account every day, making it ambiguous and seemingly a subtle provocation to netizens.

But to be honest, netizens' expectations were indeed piqued. Instead of being annoyed by the production team's teasing behavior, they were actually enjoying the daily banter with the team.

Even on Sunday, the day the show aired, the production team released a long trailer just hours before the broadcast.

In response, netizens left comments telling them to not broadcast the show today if they dared, and to come back and criticize them later after watching the program.

Riding this wave of popularity, the hashtag "[Running Man latest episode aired]" appeared at the top of Naver's trending list even before the show aired.

Netizens enthusiastically discussed the guests participating in this episode in the comments section, guessing almost all the famous actors and idols.

Amidst the lively atmosphere, time quickly passed to 6:10 PM, and the latest episode of Running Man aired on time.

Many viewers, who were squatting in front of their television sets, watched the show while continuing to discuss it online with other netizens before the program officially started.

[It's finally airing! The production team is so annoying; they won't reveal any details about the guests, and they deliberately blurred out so many things in every preview, not giving us a single clue.]

[Exactly! They're deliberately keeping us in suspense. I want to see who the guests are this episode. If they're exactly as I guessed, I'll go back and yell at the production team and laugh at them.]

[Urgent! I need to know who the guests are this episode! The production team said there are ten guests this episode, plus a mystery guest.]

Chen Yan's home in a residential area in Cheongdam-dong.

Chen Yan sat on the sofa in the living room, and the TV not far away was playing the beginning of Running Man.

Although he participated in the entire recording process, the feeling of recording by himself and watching the final edited version produced by the production team is definitely different. He himself was also looking forward to this episode.

Just then, a petite figure carrying a water glass walked briskly from the direction of the restaurant.

"Let's begin."

Upon seeing Running Man on TV, Lee Soon-kyu put her water glass on the coffee table and sat down next to Chen Yan.

But the next second, Chen Yan reached out and picked her up, placing her on his lap.

Holding the man in her arms, Lee Soon-kyu turned to look at Chen Yan and pouted.

Am I some kind of body pillow?

"No pillow is as comfortable as hugging Nuna."

Chen Yan smiled and replied, then lowered his head and kissed her sexy lips.

This woman is petite, soft, and has an incredibly broad chest; she definitely feels much better to the touch than a body pillow.

Girls' Generation finished their activities in Singapore a couple of days ago and returned to the peninsula.

Everyone else in the family has plans today, and Jessica Jung's older sister is watching a show at home with Little Iceberg, so only Soon-kyu is at her house right now.

"Humph"

Lee Soon-kyu wrinkled her nose and snorted softly, turning her head to look at the TV, but naturally leaning back in Chen Yan's arms, resting her head on his shoulder.

On TV, the main episode of Running Man has already started.

The show opened with a van slowly pulling up in front of the red carpet. The door opened, and Bae Suzy peeked out a bit of her white leg before getting out, followed closely by Haha and Ji Suk-jin.

After the three performed a dance, Apink, IU, f(x), Girl's Day, and Girls' Generation appeared in the same order as during the recording.

"Wow, why does Garyoppa look so funny?"

"Hahahaha, Kwangsoo oppa's expressions and dance moves are absolutely amazing."

Lee Soon-kyu's somewhat mesmerizing laughter echoed throughout the living room, with Chen Yan laughing behind her.

Now, watching it at home, the opening dance is actually funnier than when he watched it alone in the waiting room.

Soon, the performances of the six teams ended, and Chen Yan appeared behind the barrier after being introduced by Zhao Xiaozhen.

The production team added a halo effect to his entrance and also put a few lines of small text next to him to briefly introduce him.

[JYP's youngest director] [Top music producer in the peninsula] [Top-tier looks comparable to boy group visuals]

"Oh~"

Lee Soon-kyu made a jeering sound and turned to look at Chen Yan.

"You're so handsome, Xiaoyan! So the common point Zhao PD was talking about about the teams on the field is you. They've all worked with you before. This episode is a special episode designed just for you."

“I didn’t expect PD Zhao to invite Taeyeon and Noona. At first, I only knew that Ji-eun would be there.”

The show continued, and during a conversation between Yoo Jae-suk and Chen Yan, Chen Yan revealed that he would be doing an OST for a TV drama later on.

Bae Suzy and Lee Ji-eun later revealed that they would each have a song with Chen Yan, and it would be a duet with Chen Yan.

Finally, Chen Yan also mentioned that he would ask Kim Tae-yeon to sing the OST for that TV series.

Three unreleased works were suddenly revealed, and all of them had already confirmed collaborators.

"tsk"

Clicking her tongue twice, Lee Soon-kyu looked at Chen Yan and said with a smile, "You must be sweating buckets, Xiao Yan. It must be tough being on the show with them."

Those who didn't know the situation wouldn't notice, but as a member of her family, she could tell at a glance that Lee Ji-eun had just had a little showdown with Bae Soo-ji.

Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah were a little jealous after learning that Chen Yan had written a duet song for each of them.

Chen Yan grinned: "It was alright, actually I had a lot of fun recording it."

"hum"

Lee Soon-kyu grunted twice.

This man should be thankful that none of his family members are the type to scheme against each other or be jealous, otherwise he would have had a very tiring time filming this episode.

Of course, someone like that would never be allowed into the house; Taeyeon and Yoona would never agree to it, and neither would they.

"Are you really going to ask Taeyeon to sing the OST, or are you just trying to appease her because she's jealous?"

"Of course it's true. I've already started writing that OST. It's a ballad, and I really plan to ask Taeyeon noona to sing it. She's perfect for it."

"Oh."

Lee Soon-kyu nodded, and the two continued watching the program when a cell phone rang.

Chen Yan picked up his phone and glanced at it.

"It's Zhenying." "Should I excuse myself?"

"Need not."

With a smile, Chen Yan gently pinched the smooth, soft flesh of the woman's waist before answering the phone.

"Hey, Jinyoung."

Park Jin-young's excited voice came through: "Hey, Xiao Yan, are you really going to release a single with Suzy?"

Chen Yan was slightly taken aback, then glanced at the TV: "Brother Zhenying, are you watching Running Man too?"

"Of course, this is your first time appearing on a variety show, so of course I have to watch it."

"The single thing is definitely true, Jin-young oppa. I've already written the song and recorded the demo for Suzy to listen to."

"Hey, why don't you let me hear it? When do you plan to release the song? The company will fully cooperate with you two."

"I haven't thought about it in detail yet, but it definitely won't be next month. Miss A is making a comeback next month, so let's discuss the specific time in a meeting later."

"Okay, remember to let me hear the demo tomorrow. Seriously, Xiaoyan, you should let me hear your new work as soon as possible."

"okay, I get it."

Chen Yan smiled and agreed, chatted with Park Jin-young for a few more minutes, and then hung up the phone.

Lee Soon-kyu's slightly teasing voice rang out: "Once you've confirmed the time, remember to let us know. We're making a comeback early next year, so it wouldn't be good if we clashed. Otherwise, you'll have to appease a lot of people, Xiaoyan."

The sentence, with four "oh" interjections, is full of sarcasm.

Chen Yan smiled helplessly: "Nuna, I also wrote the title track for your new album."

Lee Soon-kyu was stunned.

Oh right, she forgot about it for a moment.

"Wow, our Xiao Yan is really capable."

"Nuna, don't you know whether I can do it or not?"

Chen Yan immediately retorted with a joke.

The 19+ girl immediately understood, gave him a reproachful look, and turned back to watch TV.

Chen Yan hugged the human-shaped pillow tighter and turned his gaze to the television.

However, Lee Soon-kyu's words did remind him that he should try to stagger the release times of the songs by the different members, otherwise it would be a case of his own people fighting each other.

There's a song by Lee Ji-eun that he co-wrote the lyrics with a girl.

That girl told him yesterday that she had almost finished writing the lyrics for this song.

Furthermore, LOEN already had plans for Lee Ji-eun to release a reissue of "Modern Times" at the end of December.

If things went smoothly, the girl planned to include the song she co-wrote and sang with Chen Yan in the re-released album as the title track.

Bae Suzy also has a duet with him called "Some," which definitely won't be released in November, so the earliest release date will be December.

In that case, the timing would clash with the re-release of Lee Ji-eun's album.

Girls' Generation is also set to make a comeback early next year. Although the exact date is yet to be determined, it will most likely be in January or February of next year.

We need to make some arrangements to stagger the release times of the songs as much as possible, which would also be in the best interests of him and the companies involved.

"Oh~ the ideal World Cup, Xiaoyan, who did you choose in the end?"

Lee Soon-kyu's voice pulled Chen Yan back to reality. At that moment, the TV was showing footage of him and Lee Kwang-soo playing a game about their ideal type during the World Cup.

"Nuna, guess who I chose in the end?"

Lee Soon-kyu blinked: "Then it must be one of the four members of Apink and Girl's Day. Not to mention Peach and the others, you can't even choose Taeyeon and Yoona."

"Hehe, Nuna, you guessed right."

However, the production team knows how to create suspense.

When Chen Yan was about to choose between Jung Eun-ji and Kim Ah-young, the post-production team created a suspenseful animation with the caption "Who will Chen Yan choose?" and then suddenly switched the scene to another car.

It wasn't until everyone arrived at the swimming pool that Lee Kwang-soo brought up the topic again and revealed the answer.

After Chen Yan gave his reason, he was immediately exposed by Lee Kwang-soo. The editing then cut back to the car scene, where Chen Yan said that he chose Kim Ah-young because she had beautiful legs.

"Oh~ so it's because Ya Rong's legs are beautiful."

Lee Soon-kyu didn't participate in the recording, so she only found out the final answer and reason by watching the show.

The editor then thoughtfully cut a close-up shot of Kim Ah-young's fair and beautiful legs.

"It really looks great."

Lee Soon-kyu nodded seriously, then looked at Chen Yan: "No wonder you like Xiao Yan."

Chen Yan naturally knew what to say at this moment: "Nuna, your legs are beautiful too."

As he spoke, his hand touched Lee Soon-kyu's smooth, slender legs beneath her shorts.

To be honest, this woman's legs are really nice; apart from being a little short, they have no other flaws.

"Tch~ My legs aren't as long as theirs."

"But I prefer Nuna's legs."

"Go away, go away, you're good at saying nice things."

Lee Soon-kyu pouted and waved her hand, but didn't slap away the large hand that lingered on her leg. She leaned her head back on Chen Yan's shoulder and continued watching TV.

The episode ended quickly amidst the laughter of the two.

Just as Chen Yan was about to ask the woman if she wanted to take a shower together, he noticed that she seemed lost in thought.

"What's wrong, Nuna?"

"Hmm, I feel like Xiaoyan's interactions with Xiujing on the show were a bit strange."

Chen Yan was taken aback: "Nun, you figured it out?"

"Yes, there are a few scenes that I find quite obvious."

"That was a plan that Soojung came up with, saying it was to better solve Sooyeon's problem."

Chen Yan shared Jung Soo-jung's thoughts with Lee Soon-kyu.

After hearing this, Lee Soon-kyu burst out laughing: "Hahahaha, Soo-jung is such a clever little devil."

"Tsk, Jessica's going to have a hard time tonight."

A moment later, she thought of something else.

"Xiaoyan, Xiujing's birthday is coming soon. That will probably be the time when you face Jessica head-on. You should be mentally prepared."

Chen Yan nodded: "Yes, I've thought about this too, and I'm mentally prepared."

At that point, he'll have to adapt to the situation.

"That's good."

Meanwhile, at the same time, in Jung Soo-yeon's home in Seongnam District.

Just as Lee Soon-kyu predicted, Jessica Jung is now starting to feel unwell.

While Lee Soon-kyu and Chen Yan watched this episode with constant laughter, Jessica Jung became increasingly distressed as she watched.

Because Krystal Jung, who was watching her, suddenly started crying.
