Chapter 172 Where Did Our Captain Go? (Please Subscribe)

Two days before Chen Shijun's birthday, it's KBS's annual grand celebration, a carnival for fans and a perfect stage for new and old groups to make their mark.

The little snake stood in the backstage dressing room, looking at her carefully made-up self in the mirror, but felt a little uneasy.

Although Chen Shijun strictly controlled the direction of the narrative at the time, he genuinely belittled the other members' appearance.

This was the first time the group had performed on such a large year-end stage since their debut. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down, thinking that I must perform well on stage and prove my strength.

Jimin felt extremely embarrassed after running into the BTS members on their way to the lounge in the hallway; she wished she could disappear into the floor.

Especially when the other person is still whispering after walking past, as if discussing you and turning their head to look around, it makes you feel even more ashamed.

"That new guy just now, the one who said Namjoon hyung wasn't good-looking, that was really going too far."

As their global influence continues to grow, the once unknown members of the group have gradually solidified their unique position in the K-pop scene, and almost everyone's value and status have risen accordingly.

"And Jimin, why is he so mean when it's clearly Ji Min? That girl has offended half the industry."

After all, insults that name names are more memorable than generalizations, especially in South Korea, where seniority relationships are highly valued; such remarks are almost a genuine offense.

"Let's not discuss this anymore. Let bygones be bygones. The other party has some connections and is not so easy to offend."

As the leader, Kim Namjoon is a very talented artist. When Chen Shijun first saw him, he felt that he was particularly strong.

And just as Chen Shijun had thought, the other party was a very sensible guy, and after receiving some hints, he quickly took control of his fan base.

"Somewhat related? What kind of relationship? I heard that the two of you even got involved in the matter yourselves."

Some members asked curiously, and the manager also came over at this time, feeling that he wanted to know more about the background.

"We don't know the specifics, but at the very first moment the incident broke out, instructions were given to us by a senior executive of our company across the company."

The manager, who took over the conversation, had a serious expression. The members looked at each other in surprise. After all, although the industry was not large, it was unheard of for someone to use SM's authority to take down Big Hit.

"Huh? This? Does her family have some powerful background? In the industry? Or in government?"

Such a rapid exertion of influence across companies must require a powerful force to coordinate, and it was all done for just one trainee.

"Who knows? But it directly alarmed a board member, who demanded that we immediately restrain the fans and control the situation on fan sites."

The agent recalled the phone call he received that day, and the young director who demanded that he treat the matter as a serious matter, his words conveying an unquestionable authority.

"Since that's the case, we can only let this matter go. We should also be tolerant of the younger generation; you know we should have the demeanor of a senior."

The two victims nodded repeatedly. It's a society based on personal connections. With a powerful figure in charge, there's nothing that can't be resolved.

"You have no idea how embarrassed I was just now. I ran away as soon as I saw her in the distance. You really are such a rude girl."

The little snake sent text messages to Chen Shijun, but the man seemed not to see her complaints, and all her messages disappeared without a trace.

"Eunbi, I still prefer your black hair. This short blonde hair doesn't suit you very well." Chen Shijun's nitpicking made Eunbi not want to answer at all. This was the stylist's arrangement. Who did he think he was if the fans said it looked good?

He kept checking his phone for messages in the group chat, even as he put on his high-waisted black trousers. Tonight, besides his group's stage performance, he also had a special stage with Hwang Eunbi of GFRIEND, Ryujin of ITZY, and YooA of OH MY GIRL.

What's so special about them? Being four aces is special enough, but another special thing is that all four of them are wearing black trousers today.

"I told you I had a stomachache and ran away. Director Chen, please don't make things difficult for me. Otherwise, after the performance, I promise I will listen to Director Chen carefully."

Eunbi felt that she absolutely could not let this guy develop any more outrageous fetishes, after all, she was an artist, and if a big scandal broke out, her entire career would be over.

"Don't worry, no one will come up here. I heard that no one comes up here all year round. You can tell by the dust here."

It must be said that Consort Eun looks great in this outfit. Although she is not very tall, the high-waisted pants make her legs look very long, and the slightly slit top perfectly accentuates her full curves.

"It has to be said that in IZ*ONE, no, in the entire K-pop scene, Eunbi's lying down is the highest."

This was Chen Shijun's result after comparing himself with Zhimin in his mind, so it can be said to be quite authoritative. To date, he has not seen anyone more talented than these two.

Now that the Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix Chick are both in Chen Shijun's hands, it is indeed a great undertaking that can be accomplished, but Consort En feels increasingly embarrassed.

A chill ran through me as I felt a tightness around my knees. Knowing it was inevitable, I helplessly grabbed the doorknob.

"Oppa, can you please stop? I feel like I'm just a tool every time. I don't want to be like this."

He had shown a hint of tenderness last time, but he acted the same way when they met, completely disregarding her feelings.

Although she was mentally prepared, since taking shortcuts usually only yields the promised rewards, what girl doesn't hope to have a gentle man who will pamper her?

The same goes for Eun-bi, who is about to turn 26, which surprised Chen Shijun somewhat. However, despite the surprise, he did not stop taking action.

"You're overthinking it. Oppa didn't treat you like a tool. Eunbi is a lovely woman."

He reached out and wrapped his arms around her neck, making her turn her head to kiss him. Her graceful figure, like a fully drawn bow, perfectly showcased her proud curves.

Chen Shijun discovered that this woman really enjoyed kissing him, and she was very passionate and affectionate in her kisses. Moreover, there was a strange change in her behavior, as if she wanted to melt into him.

"Where is our captain? We can't afford to let him down at this crucial moment!"

Won-young had just gone out for a walk. They were among the first to arrive and hadn't yet found any women they disliked, but they hadn't found their oppa either.

I sent a message but haven't received a reply for a long time. They're probably busy with important things and should contact me as soon as they see it. However, it's quite worrying that the captain has been out for so long.

Ultimately, it was decided that Minju would make a phone call to check, just in case something went wrong, even though there was still some time before the project was scheduled to be relaunched.

This captain is very reliable and reassuring; she never lets you down at crucial moments. If we were to choose a model captain, everyone would definitely vote for her.

The sudden ringing of the telephone made Eunbi feel as if she had been electrocuted. The sharp sound was very jarring in the quiet, cramped space. She struggled to break free from Chen Shijun's embrace.
