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

Starry Sky Entertainment, stairwell.

Here, take it.

A bottle of banana milk was handed over.

Banana milk is a popular beverage, suitable for all ages, and holds a similar status to AD calcium milk in China.

Han Shuo took it and played with it in his hands: "What does this mean?"

"What do you mean?"

"Of course I'm thanking you," Park Soyeon said with a hint of pride, putting her hands behind her back. "I didn't let you down with your recommendation and your support, did I?"

Han Shuo went to great lengths to recommend her to the company, making countless promises in private.

Fortunately, she did not disappoint Han Shuo's efforts and performed quite well, successfully becoming one of the first members of the StarsRookies brand.

Han Shuo understood.

Arranged in the order of their entry into the company, all the trainees after Park So-yeon were unaware of his identity and thought he was just an ace trainee.

Park So-yeon probably genuinely believed that he had put in a lot of effort and persuasion to bring her to Star Entertainment.

That statement doesn't seem to be wrong.

He had to put in quite a bit of effort to invite all six members to join him.

He deserves this gratitude.

"You did a great job!"

He gently patted Park So-yeon's head with a look of satisfaction.

Park So-yeon: ? ? ?

No, what do you mean by touching my head?

And that provocative tone.

"Aish!"

She turned her head away, saying, "You're such an annoying guy."

Han Shuo shrugged: "Look at you, can't I even praise you?"

"Are you complimenting me?"

"You're treating me like a child."

Park So-yeon angrily jumped up two steps, her line of sight just level with Han Seok's.

"I'll let it slide this time, since you recommended a very promising company to me."

She genuinely likes her current company.

Putting everything else aside, the concept and specific implementation plan of the trainee brand StarsRookies are simply amazing.

"President Lee and his management team are really insightful, much better than those unambitious executives at SM Entertainment."

"SM Entertainment is still thinking of using the unlimited group model to avoid the risk of failure when launching new groups and to reduce the expenses associated with new groups."

"But President Li and his team pioneered a different route."

Park So-yeon showered Lee Joong-seok and others with compliments, seemingly indicating her high regard for the Bilibili project.

"What kind of expression is that?"

Han Shuo proudly stated, "I am very honored by this."

"You should be proud to be able to work for a company like ours."

"Yes, yes, yes."

There's only one week left before his identity is revealed and the album is promoted.

Han Seok was very curious about Park So-yeon's expression when she found out the truth.

It looks like it's going to be very exciting.

He leaned against the handrail and looked up at Park So-yeon at an angle: "So, I'm still an important guiding light in your life, huh?"

"I've helped you so much, and according to the plot of movies and TV dramas, you seem to have no way to repay me except by offering yourself to me."

"Dream on!"

Park So-yeon smiled and said, "Then I'll treat you to dinner later, do you want to come?"

Han Shuo expressed his regret: "I had already made arrangements with Ni Ni and her dorm."

"Oh my god, you're such a busy person," Park So-yeon thought with a touch of sadness. "You're always eating with this person today and that person tomorrow. Even Warren Buffett isn't as busy as you."

"Then I'll have dinner with you tomorrow."

"Not at all!"

The two of them leaned against the handrail and argued for a while.

Before parting, Park So-yeon asked Han Seok for advice: "Between 'Echoes of the Rainbow' and 'If Love Is Forgotten,' which one do you think I should focus on?"

Her idea is simple.

Focusing your energy on mastering one song can greatly improve practice efficiency and increase your chances of winning the performance rights.

Han Shuo looked him up and down: "You're quite greedy. You already have a lead vocal track, and you're still thinking about these two duet tracks."

Park So-yeon stated frankly, "If I have the ability to sing, why shouldn't I compete?"

There was something she didn't say.

She's not young anymore, so she has to seize every opportunity to get ahead.

After a moment's thought, Han Shuo offered his suggestion: "Choose 'If Love Is Forgotten,' it will allow you to further showcase your singing skills."

"I'll listen to you."

Han Shuo counted on his fingers, thinking, "I recommended you to the company, strongly recommended 'Hello Tomorrow' to you, and now I'm even giving you preferential treatment..."

Park So-yeon tiptoed forward and covered Han Seok's mouth: "What do you mean by 'backdoor deal'? That sounds awful!"

She knew that Han Shuo had been a great help to her, and sincerely thanked him, saying, "I know you've worked hard and made great contributions, so I'll cover all your banana milk for this month."

"What 'Nuna'? Call me 'senpai'."

"Yes, senior!"

Han Shuo put his hands behind his back and walked forward with an air of arrogance.

Park So-yeon called out to him, "Don't move. Lower your head a little. You're getting a bit irritated."

Han Shuo obediently squatted down slightly, his gaze level with Park So-yeon's.

The two stared at each other.

Looking closely at Park So-yeon's round face, he smiled mischievously: "Why do I feel like you've... again?"

Before he could even utter the word "round," his mouth was covered by the other person.

Park So-yeon roared like a dragon, threatening, "If you say another word, I'll kill you!"

She pulled out a wet wipe, tiptoed slightly, and carefully styled Han Shuo's hair, calming down the tuft of hair that was sticking up.

"..."

The announcement of the first three members of StarsRookies made Park Soyeon, Kim Yoonji and Shin Yoonjoo the envy of the trainees, but also made many people feel quite resentful.

Ni Ni is a perfect example.

Many of my classmates in college were unaware of the operating model of K-pop groups and thought that once someone was selected, they could quickly debut as a big star.

Every now and then, someone she doesn't get along with will make sarcastic remarks about her in the group chat.

When are you going to debut?

She was still a little angry, so she brought up the topic of the StarsRookies brand.

He said he would release a song in the country soon, successfully shutting up the foul mouths of those pretentious and cheap women.

And now...

She wasn't selected? What's going on?

Although the list of the first batch of selected individuals is still expanding, there is no doubt that the first three selected will receive the most resources.

If there's no chance to sing new songs later, it's better to just be eliminated.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to have dinner with Han Shuo, she asked the question that had been on her mind.

"It's not about favoritism, it's just that I plan to have Kim Yoon-ji cover an English song."

"Really?"

Ni Ni clung to Han Shuo's arm, acting like a girl pouting at her boyfriend: "I don't believe it~"

She knows how to avoid being disliked.

His tone was very soft, without any hint of accusation.

"Why would I need to lie to you?"

Han Shuo tried to pull his hand away with a little force, but couldn't. Instead, Ni Ni hugged him even tighter, so he had no choice but to give up.

He said, "In the future, I will separate the domestic music business and set up a subsidiary to produce ringtones, which will give you plenty of opportunities to release new songs."

The martial spirit true form he prepared for Ni Ni is: Zhuang Xinyan.

Ni Ni smiled sweetly: "Then I believe you, but you can't lie to me."

She has a plain face, but she looks stunning with heavy makeup.

However, that doesn't mean her bare face is unattractive. After all, at twenty years old, a natural look can best showcase the youthful beauty of a face full of collagen.

It brightens one's mood.

After the two returned to the store, she slowly let go of their hands and joined in her roommates' conversation.

There was not a single flaw.

Some women are indeed born actresses.

Ni Ni's dormitory has a total of five people, with Naza and Shen Yunzhu sharing a room, and Kim Ji-won and Kang Ji-young sharing a room.

Naza delicately and affectedly raised her hand: "Maknae, go get me a Coke."

Maknae Kang Jiyoung obviously couldn't understand, so Shin Yoonjoo helped translate it for her.

When she first arrived, she didn't know anything and was quite happy to be the maknae (youngest member).

I thought that, like the youngest child in China, she would receive the most pampering. Who would have thought that the most useful thing about the youngest child in South Korea is running errands?

Fortunately, last Friday, Kang Ji-young signed a contract and became the new maknae (youngest member), successfully freeing her up.

Of course, she wasn't the kind of bad person who would boss people around; at most, she would just tease Kang Ji-young.

"Naza, are you interested in all-female bands?"

Upon hearing Han Shuo's question, she nonchalantly retorted, "What instrument do you want me to play?"

"It mainly depends on your own thoughts."

"Then I don't want to go," Naza said lazily. "Learning Korean and singing is already tiring enough."

What else could Han Shuo say but that it was absolutely brilliant?

Everyone else is working hard to compete and grab, while that little good-for-nothing is just lying there doing nothing.

"Ji-won, what about you?"

"I'm not sure yet," Kim Ji-won said solemnly, "but from what the company says, they want me and BoA unnie to join, so I'm willing to give it a try."

Both born in 92, look at the difference.

Not only did they accept the arrangements, but they also took the initiative to prepare: "I heard that you are good at guitar, what instrument do you think I should choose?"

What's the best match for a cute girl?

Of course, it's the drum set.

"How's the drum set?"

……

……

Among the nine backup dancers, 88Line refers to people born in 88.
