Chapter 171 I Have Connections (Please Subscribe)
"There are so many senior artists on the year-end stage, including BTS's seniors. Unnie, you won't get scolded by them, will you?"

Winter joked about the captain, who was in a good mood lately. This sister has been riding high lately, but it has also given many fans an opportunity to criticize her, especially since some people think she took advantage of others to steal her senior's endorsement.

Some conspiracy theorists believe that SM Entertainment is deliberately suppressing veteran artists to promote new ones. Although everyone knows this is nonsense, there are always some irrational fans.

"They dare? They'd better be polite to me, or they'll be in big trouble."

Hearing about the little snake makes me feel awake. Although BTS is a very powerful representative of K-pop, they are still idols, and my oppa is a director of Big Hit Entertainment.

I haven't even settled accounts with them yet, and your fans are also part of the online bullying. Idols should be held responsible for their fans' actions, so those two should apologize to me.

"You, you, you! You're being way too arrogant! That's BTS! They're not our seniors."

Needless to say, if this gets out, it will cause a huge uproar. Those fans will definitely tear this snake apart. Stay away from it, or you'll get splattered with blood.

"Big Hit, huh! What's there to be afraid of? I have connections."

Jimin looked confident, patting his chest and making a trembling sound that Dongtian envied. She exchanged a glance with the other two members, thinking to herself that this guy was hopeless.

"Fine, fine! We'll hand you over once they attack."

I never expected that I, as the team leader, would have no authority whatsoever. It's truly disappointing, especially considering that Dongzi has been with me for so many years.

"Hehe! None of you will escape. I'm the ringleader and you're the accomplices. I'm going to drag you all down with me."

She slapped Winter's head hard, making her hair messy. Her recent debut results have been better than expected, which has given Little Snake a lot of confidence.

The music video garnered over 2000 million views on its first day, setting a new record for the group's debut. Within a month of their debut, the company also bought them a Water Award for Best New Artist at the Asian Pop Music Awards overseas.

The music show stage allowed Jimin to fully unleash her charm, and the sisters will definitely be present at the upcoming year-end stages and awards ceremonies.

It has to be said that SM Entertainment is the real master of girl groups. After a while, who will remember their own dark history?
"Is Unnie going to shoot a Prada pictorial soon? I'm so envious, I also want to be a luxury brand ambassador."

Winter was very unhappy with this guy's attempt to drag everyone down with him, but she was more interested in her new endorsement. It was impossible for her not to feel envious and jealous.

Upon hearing this, the other two green card holders also turned around, but so far, everyone seemed to be in a good mood.

After all, this endorsement was practically a gift from heaven, transferred from one SM leader to another, which can be considered a strange kind of orderly succession.

"Once we become famous, everyone will get one!"

Jimin loudly proclaimed that this was only the first step in a long journey, and that the group had boundless potential. She believed that it wouldn't be long before everyone would become famous superstars.

However, I also felt that this girl shouldn't have said such things at this time. Although I thought she didn't mean it, some people might overthink it.

"Yes, that's right! We'll each have one and see who gets the highest title."

The Japanese girl who has always had a low profile in the group has come out to summarize her recent situation. She said that she has been under just as much pressure as Jimin, with people constantly attacking her appearance.

She's already working hard to become more beautiful, and it's not something that can be done overnight. She truly understands Captain Jimin's hardships.

When I was a kid, I was happy to have someone share the burden with me, although whether this "connection" actually existed is still unconfirmed. But being parachuted into the group and beating so many more outstanding trainees, it was impossible not to be criticized.

Now she can finally openly carry the bag Chen Shijun gave her, instead of having to put it under the bed because of brand conflict.

However, Chen Shijun's birthday will be coming soon, and even if I'm busy, I must make time to celebrate with him.

The thought of this made me very happy. Although it was impossible to get a share of the profits after such a short time since my debut, I had Chen Shijun's card!

Although it was his money that was spent, it contained his own heartfelt sentiment, a sentiment that money can't buy.

"We don't know when we'll be able to get a spot; we desperately need to prove ourselves."

A girl from northeastern China poured cold water on everyone's enthusiasm at this moment. Although it looked lively, this return period was really a battle of the gods.

Not only did new girl group STAYC debut around the same time, but throughout November and December, top talents from both inside and outside the company joined the competition one after another.

Not only the senior group Super Junior, but also BTS, who made their official comeback just three days after their own debut, as well as veteran idol band CNBLUE and JYP's GOT7, shattered everyone's dream of quickly winning first place.

Not to mention Chen Shijun's sister's group IZ*ONE, who officially released their fourth mini-album "One-reeler / Act IV" in December, showcasing the members' youthful narrative theme. After all, nothing is more memorable than farewell.

Despite the countdown to disbandment, the group still maintains top commercial appeal. The fans' determination to keep the group together is both laughable and heartbreaking. The sense of destiny of the limited-time group, combined with the concept of a short film, has really created a trend at the end of the year.

So, defeating one opponent on the tenth day after their return is truly enviable. However, Little Snake doesn't think it's because he's inferior to others; it's just the lingering empathy from the disbandment.

Compared to other girl groups, IZ*ONE's farewell was not a natural iteration in the traditional sense, but a forced end in their prime. From birth to death, it gave fans who had followed them all the way a sense of ritual from beginning to end.

Non-limited couples rarely experience this kind of pain; more often, after a long golden period, they find themselves in a state of being divorced but not separated.

The members went their separate ways, but still kept the group's name and were planning to find an opportunity to sell nostalgia and make some money.

This is the legendary dignified hiatus, which also gives fans something to look forward to, just like the 8-member group in their own company did.

So even if I haven't gotten a spot yet, it's not my fault; under normal circumstances, I would definitely have gotten it.

However, what Winter said is also true. The KBS Song Festival is in a few days, and I will definitely have to visit my seniors then. It's impossible not to feel awkward after saying so much.

"Ahhh! I'm going crazy, but Chen Shijun will probably watch it too, right?"

This event not only features his sister, but also his favorite Zhimin, so he'll definitely be paying close attention. Xiao She thinks he needs to be in top form.

I've been incredibly busy lately. Chen Shijun's prediction of a "death schedule" came true; you simply can't handle it without a strong physique.

Anyway, I've been severely sleep-deprived lately, but even so, I still have plenty of time to chat with Chen Shijun. However, this man is always very busy, which makes me worry about him.

"What's this guy doing? Is he playing around with his secretary in the office? He's always so slow to reply to messages, he's so aloof!"
