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

"Don't leave tonight, stay and spend the night."

"What about Yoon-joo?"

Kang Hanna really likes Shin Yoon-joo.

If possible, she would never want Shin Yoon-joo to find out that she was with Han Seok.

"She's a little afraid of what people will say about her, so she hasn't come over much lately. And if she does come, she'll let me know in advance."

"This silly girl."

Kang Hanna shook her head.

If you like someone, you should take the initiative to pursue them. Why hesitate and back down?

She snuggled into Han Shuo's arms and whispered, "It has to be her. Otherwise, if it were anyone else, you would be kept under constant surveillance."

Han Seok could actually guess some of Shin Yoon-joo's thoughts.

Perhaps she naively thought she was still young and could wait, not afraid that he would change trains along the way. As long as they were together in the end, the process didn't matter that much.

He didn't tell Kang Hanna about these things.

He couldn't meet Shin Yoon-joo's expectations.

But at least we can't trample on her sincerity.

Seeing that Han Seok didn't seem too keen on talking about it, Kang Hanna tactfully changed the subject.

She clung to Han Shuo's chest, drawing circles on his chest: "Why did they invite me to this press conference again?"

What else could it be?

Of course, this is to compensate Kang Hanna.

Han Shuo gently stroked her smooth back: "If nothing unexpected happens, you will be the fourth candidate for StarsRookies."

"You're not kidding me, are you?"

Jiang Hanna got up excitedly.

Han Shuo retorted, "When have I ever lied to anyone in bed?"

"No!"

Kang Hanna smiled sweetly, revealing her dimples.

As Han Shuo's first woman in a real sense, it would be impossible for her not to have any objections to Han Shuo's favoritism towards Kim Yoon-ji, Lee Qri, and others.

Who wouldn't want to participate in a music video shoot?

Who wouldn't want to be a Stars Rookies member?

It's just that Han Shuo favors her a lot in daily life, which gives her enough confidence and patience to wait.

Now my wish has finally come true.

Something flickered in her alluring eyes as she leaned close to Han Shuo's ear and asked in a soft, husky voice, "Do you want more?"

Han Shuo looked at her with the eyes of someone looking at trash.

Jiang Hanna leaned closer to Han Shuo, feeling guilty: "It's mainly because you're acting a bit scary today, like you're on drugs. I can't handle it."

That's not drug use.

It's White Rabbit milk candy that's been smeared with banana milk.

Han Shuo wrapped his arms around Jiang Hanna's slender waist from behind.

He still prefers this sleeping position.

Feeling ashamed that she hadn't been able to give Han Seok a proper experience, Jiang Hanna tried to make up for it in other ways.

"I do not understand."

"Why should we respond to public interest in your album with such a conservative tone? Aren't you afraid of being criticized?"

In her opinion, Han Shuo's creative ability is outstanding, so he should play his cards right.

This will completely ignite the album's popularity.

Responding to public concerns in this tone now makes it easy for trolls to seize upon and make a big deal out of it.

"The reason is simple."

"For now, we need to downplay the presence of the lyricists and composers of a few songs, and then start the corresponding promotion after the music video trailer is released."

It's premature for him to promote his creative abilities given his current qualifications.

Without any existing works to back it up, there will likely be more skepticism from the outside world than anticipation.

As a result, the public's attention will inevitably shift to this small issue.

People who already had a prejudice against him would spread the word and attack this point, while those who would have supported the album would remain hesitant, which would be detrimental to album sales.

Especially now that the record industry is in a slump.

When these two factors are combined, this wait-and-see attitude will become even more pronounced. Even if the reputation improves later, the public will only support the music streaming service and will not feel the need to spend money to buy the album.

in contrast.

Once the public's anticipation for the album has been built up through continuous promotion, and once the teasers released have met the public's initial expectations, it will be the perfect time to reveal the truth.

No further explanation is needed; his work will speak for itself.

"The main focus for the next week or so will be creating an atmosphere."

"Ten thousand dollars might buy a decent lunch, but that's just a momentary pleasure. But buying this album, on the other hand, allows you to critique a small-time millionaire who earns a billion a month."

Kang Hannah finds this logic hard to understand.

However, she unconditionally supported Han Shuo's arrangements: "Anyway, I'll listen to you."

Over the next two days, SM Entertainment sent representatives over multiple times to discuss cooperation, reducing their share of the revenue from music streaming and album sales to 5%.

It further proposed opening up promotional resources in China and South Korea, as well as sending its artists to participate in interactive promotions, among other cooperative benefits.

They no longer insisted that he join the sub-unit Super Junior-M, but only hoped that he would participate in the sub-unit's first comeback.

It's clear that SM Entertainment is really in a hurry.

Last year, SM Entertainment proposed launching a sub-unit of Super Junior in China to test the waters and gauge fan preferences.

The fans were unaware of the true intentions behind it, so they did not overreact; instead, they showed anticipation.

Now, with the expected debut date approaching, SM Entertainment is hesitant.

Should we directly add people to the main team, or should we first send out small teams to train new recruits, and then use these small teams as a springboard to add people to the main team, taking a roundabout route?

SM Entertainment ultimately leaned towards the latter.

However, this approach is still fraught with risks.

Even the most oblivious fans can guess something's fishy going on. Besides, they would absolutely never accept a limited-time subunit.

Originally, SM Entertainment was willing to take a gamble given the huge potential profits.

Now, suddenly someone like him has emerged, and he has even received blessings from both Chinese and Korean websites. It seems that he will gain a group of fans as soon as he debuts.

With a more reliable and dependable solution, who would be willing to risk being funny and stirring up fans' emotions?

However, on the other hand, he would never join Super Junior-M and use his popularity to help SM Entertainment fight on the front lines.

"I heard our company was rejected by Han Shuo again?"

Yoona asked Sunny for information.

Sunny rolled her eyes: "Why do you guys always assume I know...?" Meeting the expectant gazes of the members, she spread her hands: "Yes."

Jessica Jung shook her head: "Why can't the company be a little more generous?"

There are many ways to cooperate, but he only chooses the way that is advantageous to himself. It would be strange if Han Shuo agreed to that.

Yoona scrolled through the trending topics out of boredom, wanting to see the latest news about Han Seok's album.

But then a frightening entry was discovered.

"Oh my god, oh my god?"

#1. Han Shuo, the strongest rookie king?

"The Strongest Newcomer? Han Shuo Writes, Composes, Arranges, and Sings All for His Debut Album!"

It is said that a manager from a major music planning company revealed that Han Seok was responsible for all the songs on his first album, including lyrics, music, arrangement, singing, and even choreography.

"I don't know where he got the courage, but I believe the public will vote with their feet."
