Peninsula: You've been chosen here for producing girl groups.

"Your cousin?"

The carefree, American sweetheart vibe that had worried Kang Hannah finally arrived.

Do you think it's possible?

Han Shuo's birthday party was attended by female trainees, all of whom are potential future artists.

Suddenly inviting an unofficial member can be worrying, as it might lead to a series of unnecessary incidents because the person wants to show off.

"Let me ask Han Shuo."

Faced with such a response, most people would likely realize their own rashness.

They proactively said "garlic," "garlic."

But Kim Yoon-ji was clearly no ordinary person; she stared at her expectantly and said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, senior."

The call was eventually made.

"what?"

Han Shuo was slightly surprised, but also felt that everything made sense.

Kim Yoon-ji grew up in the United States, so she probably enjoys throwing parties, which makes it perfectly reasonable for her to invite her cousin to her birthday party.

As for whether Kim Yoon-ji's cousin might have caused trouble for the guests present in the past.

If her name is Jiang Zhiying, there won't be a problem.

It turned out to be Kang Ji-young.

Kang Ji-young, along with tonight's guests Choi Sulli, Jung Soo-jung, Bae Suzy, and others, belongs to the well-known 94 Line in the Korean entertainment industry.

"Let her come. Tell her that since her cousin is here, she has to sign a contract of servitude."

hang up the phone.

Han Shuo felt a little uneasy.

The reason for not sending their own trainees to DSP Entertainment for training for the time being is that they need to wait until they have more trainees and a more complete group.

This is also true.

However, there is also a reason to guard against DSP Entertainment.

Kim Sung-hee, the lead vocalist and popular member of the girl group Kara, has left the group. DSP Entertainment is currently considering adding two new members to form Kara 2.0 for activities.

The trainees they recruited were all exceptionally good-looking, but their skills... well, their skills certainly still had room for improvement.

If Li Haoyan were to take a liking to her, given their current relationship, it wouldn't be easy for her to refuse him.

Unexpectedly, Kang Ji-young, the maknae of Kara 2.0, took the initiative to visit them.

There seems to be a little anecdote related to her in the recruitment of Kara2.0 members.

It refers to the two new members that Li Haoyan initially selected.

However, just before their debut, one of them changed his mind and withdrew from the competition.

Just as they were about to make their comeback, another member of the group left, causing great anxiety for everyone in the company.

Then Kim Yoon-ji went to audition, but she didn't like the group herself, so she recommended her cousin instead.

A month later, kara 2.0 officially launched and made its comeback.

This set a record for the fastest debut in K-pop history.

He called Li Haoyan to inquire about Kara's situation, almost asking, "Old Li, do you need her? If so, I'll send her to you."

"I heard you're having dinner together tonight, I'll bring two people over."

True to his word, Lee Ho-yeon actually made time in the afternoon to bring Kim Ki-young, whom he had been grooming recently, and three subordinates to the dinner party.

"You need to start selecting the female lead for the music video. Filming is expected to begin the week after next."

Han Shuo estimated that there were about two weeks left.

"No problem, we've already narrowed down the scope. There's enough time in the meantime, so we can start the publicity campaign and give media interviews on set at the same time."

"Just keep it in mind."

Li Haoyan glanced around: "Which one of you is the future head of Bilibili in South Korea?"

Han Shuo beckoned someone over: "Kim Hyun-soon, a Chinese CX ethnic minority member, formerly the head of the content editing department at 56.com, and is the head of Bilibili in Korea."

How's the content buying for your website going?

A few days ago, when Li Haoyan talked to Han Shuo about this platform, he guessed one of Han Shuo's intentions.

The goal is to rely on the platform to incubate idol groups, and conversely, to leverage the popularity of idol groups to incubate the platform with K-pop content.

The two complement each other and achieve mutual success.

His vision is far superior to those guys who only focus on making individual combinations.

However, this project is destined to be anything but simple, and it's not just about burning through a lot of money in the early stages; it also involves collaborations with numerous entertainment companies.

On the other hand, everything has two sides.

Since the initial investment will be high, the later returns will definitely be substantial.

Once the platform is established, not only will it create an independent exposure channel in South Korea, separate from several TV stations, but it will also completely monopolize the input interface for the Korean Wave in China.

His idea was simple:

It's about betting on Han Shuo's idea in advance, actively following Fanxing Entertainment's foray into new media, and just getting a share of the profits.

Kim Hyun-soon stated, "We have already made initial contact with four television stations and have completed the first round of negotiations."

"Although no concrete results have been achieved yet, it is clear that several TV stations are very supportive of this cooperation and are actively promoting their dramas and variety shows to us."

"The current disagreements are only on issues such as copyright price and whether to support exclusive buyouts. I believe that reaching a cooperation agreement is only a matter of time."

"Then I congratulate you in advance. Come on, let's drink... no, wait..."

Li Haoyan smiled mischievously and shook his head at Han Shuo: "This is probably the only time I can criticize you for being too young, which isn't a good thing."

South Korea stipulates that one must be at least 20 years old (by the traditional Chinese age reckoning) to engage in activities such as smoking, drinking alcohol, and going to nightclubs.

Not only Han Shuo, but half of the trainees at the next table were also prohibited from drinking alcohol. However, there was no need to drink alcohol, so all the trainees were forbidden from drinking.

Han Shuo chuckled and then advised, "President Li, you're not young anymore, you should control your alcohol intake."

The table next to it.

Park So-yeon looked at her with great suspicion.

I don't know why, but it seems that the people at the next table are very respectful to Han Shuo.

Whenever Han Shuo speaks, everyone immediately puts down their chopsticks and bowls.

They sat quietly like elementary school students, listening attentively and obediently.

The food stall was quite noisy. Even though there was only one table and an aisle between them, she couldn't hear Han Shuo's conversation at the next table at all.

After eating for a short while, Han Shuo called them away.

"Let's go play the second game."

This is a detached two-story building.

The host family had immigrated to the United States, and he temporarily rented the place for a party.

The living room on the first floor was filled with all kinds of food and drinks.

There are also dedicated karaoke machines and standing microphones for people to request songs and sing along.

The SM Entertainment trainees wouldn't arrive until later, so the rest of them started eating and playing first.

They were the same age as each other, and their relationship progressed rapidly as they ate, chatted, and played together.

American artists like Kim Yoon-ji repeatedly invited him to sing love songs together, but he politely declined, citing the need to conserve his voice.

Undeterred, the other person pulled him up and told him to stay still while she danced intimately with him.

American Pie is great! We should learn from American Pie.

More than half an hour later, Kim Yoon-ji started joking, "Sing some new songs! We haven't heard any other songs besides 'Fiction' yet."

This time, Han Seok didn't refuse: "To keep the Korean album a mystery, I'll just sing Chinese songs. Anyway, you guys won't understand them."

This Chinese album focuses on themes such as youth, campus, growth, and farewell.

This corresponds to the graduation season from June to August.

Including the cover song "Hello Tomorrow", there are a total of 11 songs.

The song selection process is basically complete; all that's left is to record.

"Then I'll sing 'Waiting for You After Class'."

"..."
