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

Song Yoon-ah smiled it off, silently complaining to herself.

When you say you're sharing life experience with someone, aren't you implying that you can develop a close relationship with them?

Do you really think she's one of those newcomers with no work and no foundation?

Furthermore, the other party is only nineteen years old, a full twelve years younger than her.

Why would she lower herself to fawn over this little brat? Is she some kind of despicable person?

Her idea is simple.

Being on good terms is fine, but nothing else matters.

Kim Ha-neul also had no interest in that.

What a joke.

She's a rising star in Chungmuro, with a bright future ahead of her.

The director didn't care about not getting the response he wanted; he was just trying his luck anyway.

The main purpose of inviting the two of them was to hope that they could leverage their advantages as K-pop stars and, when appropriate, put in a good word for each other to facilitate a renewed collaboration.

"Director Han, this way please~"

Shortly after, Director Park pushed open the door and led the group into the private room.

Everyone present stood up to show their welcome.

With the label of being nineteen years old, it's incredibly easy to associate the name "Han Shuo" with the real person.

Furthermore, she was positioned in the center like a star surrounded by the moon, and upon her appearance, she forcefully stole everyone's attention with her stunning appearance.

It's really hard to mistake one person for another.

Women are visual creatures. Previously, she thought Han Shuo was making a fuss over nothing, but screenwriter Kim Eun-sook was all smiles.

Kim Ha-neul stood up straight, her face beaming with a professional smile.

It was as if she wasn't in a hotel box, but on the stage of the Blue Dragon Film Awards.

Song Yoon-ah looked Han Shuo up and down.

I thought he would be some ugly duckling, but who would have thought he would be so handsome.

Beneath his slicked-back hair lies a superior bone structure.

She has a broad and upright posture and an excellent physique and temperament.

He has the air of a successful person.

"Director Han, please have a seat."

Director Park personally pulled out a chair for Han Seok, saying, "These are the main creative team of 'On Air,' and I hope that their presence can clear up this misunderstanding."

He winked at screenwriter Kim Eun-sook.

Kim Eun-sook stepped forward quickly, her attitude sincere:

"I hereby declare that I will be more careful and thoughtful in my future creative work, and I ask Director Han to give us another chance."

The director and several lead actors in the production team chimed in, offering their explanations in a flattering tone.

Having successfully drawn a warning line, Han Shuo decided to stop while he was ahead.

He tapped the table, his expression serious: "Director Park has repeatedly vouched for us, saying that this problem was unintentional."

"Since you have shown a good attitude in correcting your mistakes, I am willing to open another window for cooperation between the two parties."

"Hopefully, this incident will serve as a wake-up call for you creators: don't easily touch on sensitive topics from other countries during the creative process."

"If this happens again, we will absolutely not tolerate it and will deal with it seriously."

As soon as Han Shuo expressed his understanding, the atmosphere in the private room relaxed, and everyone wore a smile.

"Of course, that's only right!"

Director Park smiled and took over the conversation.

The script issue has been successfully resolved.

Han Shuo's face also showed a smile.

Some people in South Korea like to subtly criticize the Big Brother in movies, TV shows, and variety programs.

Previously, he didn't have much ability, so he could only respond with traditional Chinese culture.

Now that he has the ability to change things, he naturally wants to curb this trend.

The film and television industry in South Korea is not very large, and with word of mouth from those present, the little episode of "On Air" will likely spread very quickly.

Some people might privately think he's nitpicky.

However, from now on, anyone who wants to sell the copyrights of dramas and variety shows to China must give up the disgusting practice of mixing their own ideas into the scripts and variety shows.

Director Park gave him a detailed introduction to the three Hallyu stars present.

"This is Song Yoon-ah, a famous actress in our country."

Song Yoon-ah waved her hand modestly: "These are all very old dramas, I guess even Director Han probably hasn't seen them."

"The script for 'On Air' is very good, and I look forward to seeing it on TV as soon as possible."

Song Yoon-ah had many early works, many of which were huge hits, and she gained some popularity throughout Asia.

But for him, the most memorable work is the future "K2".

In this drama, Song Yoon-ah, playing the cold and aloof Choi Yoo-jin, completely overshadowed another Blue Dragon Film Award winner, Yoon-ah, making her seem almost invisible.

Actually, we still need to speak up for Yoona here.

It wasn't that her performance was too poor; it was that the character itself was too bland, and when she happened to be paired with Choi Yoo-jin, who played a strong female lead, she seemed even less impressive.

"Thank you in advance for your support."

Song Yoon-ah pursed her lips slightly, revealing a shy, girlish expression.

Isn't his acting pretty good?

Why did you get so obsessed with your overly expressive Korean acting style in "On Air"?

Everyone ate, drank, and chatted happily.

Later in the dinner, Han Shuo gave Li Zhongshuo a wink, prompting him to bring up the matter of applying for a music show performance.

This is the real business we need to get on with today.

"What do you mean?"

Director Park was clearly still a bit confused: "President Lee, you mean Director Han is going to debut on a music show?"

"Yes."

Lee Joong-seok said, "I expect to have my first stage performance on March 29th, and then appear on Inkigayo on the 30th."

"We hope Director Park can help contact the PD of 'Inkigayo' and arrange stage performances for the songs from our debut album."

"Wait a minute, let me catch my breath."

Director Park glanced at Han Seok: "Director Han, you're just casually trying out the script of a Hallyu star, aren't you?"

In his view, promoting songs is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Han Shuo clearly didn't understand how to play; he was just looking for something new and fun.

"If that's the case, we can put a role for you as a Chinese star in 'On Air,' giving you a head start."

"No, no, no, Director Park, you've misunderstood."

Han Shuo explained frankly, "I will be our company's first solo artist. The album production is in its second half and will be released soon."

To demonstrate his determination to debut, he recounted his four years of training at SM Entertainment.

This news seems even more shocking than his debut.

Everyone in the private room paled.

"Really?"

Song Yoon-ah clearly couldn't believe it.

Everyone present was a veteran in the industry and knew very well how tough it was for trainees.

And you're telling me that Han Seok actually spent four years at the most demanding SM Entertainment?

She pressed further, "Then why didn't you stay with SM Entertainment?"

"The reason is not complicated."

"SM Entertainment insisted that I join an already launched group, but I disagreed. Our differences were irreconcilable, and we eventually parted ways."

Seeing that Han Shuo's expression was serious throughout, everyone realized that Han Shuo was not joking.

Song Yoon-ah couldn't help but glance at Han Shuo a few more times.

Being able to stay with SM Entertainment for four years is not something that can be simply summarized as being able to endure hardship.

As a screenwriter for idol dramas, Kim Eun-sook has a wildly imaginative mind.

A story flashed through my mind: a young man wanted to prove himself with his abilities, but was forced to leave, and in the end, he had no choice but to reveal his true identity and take revenge on his former company.

"Perhaps your company's acquisition of Korean dramas and variety shows in an attempt to create a Korean Wave platform is just to compete with SM Entertainment..."

Realizing that her statement might have been offensive, she quickly changed her tune, saying, "Perhaps it's so you can get on a bigger stage?"

Han Seok did not answer the question directly: "My contract termination with SM Entertainment was 'amicable,' and there is no question of proving who is right and who is wrong."

He brought the topic back to the present: "Director Park, I'm leaving this matter to you."
