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

Chapter 74 The treacherous minister has already jumped out, "Mentor": SM Entertainment

Zhang Jiao felt like her world was collapsing.

She looked at her friends from the film crew and asked, "Sister Xiuying, are these posts exposing Han Suk's bullying really that influential?"

"How so?"

Since 6 p.m. today, posts accusing Han Suo of bullying have appeared on multiple forums, including Pann.

With Han Shuo's current immense popularity and near-perfect image,

The impact of these three or five posts, whose authenticity is questionable, is very limited.

However, public opinion is always unpredictable, and no one knows whether these posts will receive widespread attention in the next second.

"I can only tell you that the post hasn't spread very widely yet."

"However, it's hard to say what will happen next. We need to see Fanxing Entertainment's response. Hopefully, Fanxing Entertainment's public relations department will react quickly and provide a reliable response as soon as possible."

Zhang Jiao grabbed her friend's hand: "Sister Xiuying, do you think these posts are credible?"

"What are you saying?"

The girl pulled her hand back, clearly a little angry: "Of course these posts are unreliable. As Oppa's compatriot, you should believe him even more."

Zhang Jiao quickly corrected herself, saying she was just too excited.

Actually it is not.

She wasn't a die-hard fan of Han Shuo and wouldn't blindly trust him.

At most, she felt a little admiration for Han Shuo.

In addition, there was gratitude for the unexpected windfall she received.

Filming for the short film "Falling Cherry Blossoms" wrapped up last Sunday, and she is currently still in Seoul, solely to buy Han Seok's albums.

In the past two weeks, she and her friends in China have worked together, with one taking orders and the other placing them, and they have already secured orders for 170 albums.

With some effort, we might be able to secure two hundred orders around the time of the album's release.

My friends have all booked direct flights to Seoul next week, and they're just waiting to pick up their goods and split the profits.

If the bullying rumors about Han Shuo are confirmed, it will inevitably affect the album's resale value.

If things go wrong, both of them will have worked for nothing.

"Sister Xiuying, please let me know as soon as there is any new information."

Back in her rented hotel, Zhang Jiao messaged a friend to inquire about the situation in China.

Thanks to the limited reach of these posts, there have been no related reports in China, and the already agreed-upon orders have not fluctuated.

"Damn, please don't let anything go wrong. I closed 16 more orders today."

"One of the wealthy young women placed five orders. She specifically requested Han Shuo's autographed album and was willing to add 200 yuan per order on top of our offer."

The price increase for an autographed album is 250 yuan, plus 200 yuan, so the price difference for one order is 450 yuan.

With just these five orders, the two of them have the opportunity to earn 2250 yuan.

Even if it's because of the large number of albums being carried, requiring customs declaration and taxation, taking 200 orders as an example, each person would still earn at least 1.1 yuan from this shopping trip.

At this moment, Zhang Jiao loved Han Shuo more than anyone else.

"You absolutely can't let this go wrong."

At 10 p.m., she checked on the progress of the bullying incident again.

We were told that Starry Sky Entertainment has not yet given a clear response.

"It's already very late today, and Starry Entertainment is a new company with average response capabilities. I estimate we won't have a result until tomorrow."

"I hope so."

What else could she do but hope that Han Shuo was an upright person?

This experience made her realize the importance of mastering a foreign language. Since she couldn't sleep anyway, she decided to study Korean vocabulary using a textbook and occasionally browse the Beijing Film Academy's forum.

"call!"

After seeing several exposés reposted and translated on the Beijing Film Academy forum, she felt a chill run down her spine.

Fortunately, those who reposted the message supported Han Shuo, clearly stating that this was absolutely due to xenophobic sentiment among Koreans, who were trying to sabotage Han Shuo's debut.

Several debates between Han Seok fans and Korean netizens were also posted.

"When he was first exposed for interfering with the freedom of Korean drama creators, I knew he had a problem, and now he has indeed shown his true colors."

"It's hilarious. You noticed the problem that even the three major TV stations couldn't see, and you think there's a problem with the people supported by the Artists' Union Chairman."

Is it possible that you have a problem?

"He's so young, yet he's amassed such wealth. It's normal for people to get a little arrogant. If I were as talented and rich as him, I could make the president lick my shoes."

"You said it was you, thank goodness it wasn't you! What a relief! It's a blessing for the people and for the President."

"To be honest, I am not a fan of anyone. You should all ask yourselves if you were ever oppressed by your seniors when you were in school."

Even a small errand-running task, if the person involved doesn't agree, constitutes bullying!

"Come on, repeat after me: Chinese, Chinese, Chinese!"

It's well known that trainees from the US tend to be more casual about seniority/junior relationships; similarly, many Chinese trainees are not used to our country's seniority/junior system.

The story keeps going back and forth, but nobody actually has any evidence.

One thing is clear: the seniority system in South Korea is so abnormal that a significant number of people have been oppressed by their elders.

Some people put themselves in Han Shuo's shoes and concluded that he was likely engaging in bullying behavior because he was adapting to local customs.

The related viewpoints received many likes and endorsements from Korean netizens.

Fans believe that Han Seok is a foreigner who received primary school education in China and only transferred to Seoul for middle school, so he was clearly not affected by the senior-junior system.

Most students at the Beijing Film Academy support the principle of "presumption of innocence."

However, Zhang Jiao was in Seoul and had been isolated for her poor acting skills and lack of greetings, so she was very familiar with the so-called senior-junior system and social customs in South Korea.

Just because of different customs and habits, just because of not exchanging greetings, she was ostracized by others.

This proves the fact that younger generations in South Korea are easily bullied.

The same logic wouldn't hold true in China, but it would be very effective in South Korea.

The argument that Han Shuo should adapt to local customs when in Rome might become very popular.

"How do we break this deadlock?"

"I wonder if Han Shuo can come up with a perfect solution."

"..."

"Sleep, sleep, still sleeping?"

In his dazed state, Han Shuo found it hard to breathe.

She opens her eyes and sees a little girl.

She pulled him towards the door, saying, "We need to hurry and get to the company for a meeting as soon as possible to discuss a solution."

Han Shuo grabbed the girl, who was acting like a headless fly: "I haven't washed up yet. You don't want me to go to the company looking like this, do you?"

Shin Yoon-joo pushed him to wash up.

He took the toothbrush, and she squeezed the toothpaste.

He lowered his head to wash his face.

She helped wash her hair.

He stood there drying his hair.

She just stood there spraying perfume.

The main focus is on tacit cooperation.

Shin Yoon-joo carefully applied moisturizer to Han Seok's face with her chubby little hands: "Don't move, don't move, it'll be done soon, squat down for a bit."

Han Shuo placed his hands on his knees and squatted down slightly: "Han Shuo squats, Han Shuo squats, Han Shuo squats, then little pig squats."

"Oh, you're the little piggy~"

Shin Yoon-joo blushed deeply at Han Seok's sudden prank.

But while she was applying hydration, she still played along with Han Shuo, chanting, "Little pig squat, little pig squat, after the little pig squats, the big bad wolf squats."

"Sigh, I've become the big bad wolf? Then I'm not squatting anymore."

Han Shuo, unusually unaffected by his current troubles, was in a good mood, but Shen Yunzhu didn't want to spoil it: "So, should we squat with the handsome guy, the face genius, or the male god?"

"Okay, try squatting again next time."

Han Shuo quickly rubbed his face.

She smeared all the excess moisturizing cream from her hands onto Shin Yoon-joo's face.

He's a bit rough around the edges when it comes to his face.

The application was done very gently to Shin Yoon-joo.

The little girl was so pleased that she laughed heartily.

Han Shuo extended his hand: "Service fee of 50,000 yuan."

Shin Yoon-joo slapped the air at her: "Another 50,000."

Han Shuo slapped him back: "You son of a bitch! You think you can get something for nothing from me?"

Shin Yoon-joo learned quickly: "Damn it~"

"This phrase isn't too offensive, but it's not popular yet, so don't learn it yet."

"Then I'll only tell you."

Shin Yoon-joo grinned and put her hands on her hips.

Spending some time with Han Shuo helped relieve a lot of the tension that had built up overnight.

What style of clothes would you like to wear today?

"You can prepare accordingly."

While Han Shuo was still eating the breakfast that Shen Yunzhu had brought, Shen Yunzhu had already prepared two outfits for him to choose from: "We need to hurry."

Han Shuo said unhurriedly, "What's the rush?"

He gestured for the girl to sit down: "I've already asked President Lee Jung-seok and President Lee Ho-yeon to come up with a solution. When we get there, we can hear their plan."

"Have you got a meal yet?"

"I'm not hungry."

Shin Yoon-joo sat opposite her: "Is there any way to win this media war?"

She and Han Shuo have known each other for four years and know each other better than anyone else.

These accusations of bullying and isolation are completely unfounded.

However, unlike Ji Zhonghua's previous doubts about Han Shuo's creative abilities, where his works would speak for him as long as he produced them, this time the controversy is more troublesome.

It would be easy for the company to issue a statement clearing Han Shuo's name.

But whether or not netizens can be convinced is another matter entirely.

If the smears cannot be effectively cleared up, then this filth will continue to stick to Han Shuo, and he will never be able to shake it off.

"If all else fails, let's call the police."

In her view, the involvement of the police might be able to settle the matter decisively.

Han Shuo disagreed: "There's no need for that."

"Reporting to the police may not necessarily catch those who spread rumors; it could even lead to a stalemate and make public opinion unfavorable to us."

Shin Yoon-joo asked with concern, "What should we do?"

Han Shuo finished his sandwich in one bite: "Give me a wet wipe first."

Shin Yoon-joo rushed over, grabbed his hand, and cleaned it with a wet wipe.

Look at this girl's service.

They've almost turned him into a useless little brat who can't take care of himself.

"You say you don't understand me? You understand me better than I understand myself."

"You say you know me, but this time you have absolutely no confidence in me. I was so confident, and you still can't tell that I already had a plan?"

"Yeah?"

Shin Yoon-joo's troubled brows instantly relaxed, and even her voice became much lighter: "What method is it?"

I'll tell you later.

Han Shuo handed his other hand to Shen Yunzhu to wipe, saying, "Now you can think about who we can pin the blame for this on."

Regardless of whether this attack was a spontaneous and accidental act by some netizens or a deliberate act by some companies or individuals, someone must be held accountable and pay the price.

His counterattacks are always swift, powerful, and effective.

Shin Yoon-joo blurted out, "Give it to Gil Jong-hwa!"

This big bad guy made some random revelations and questioned Han Shuo last time, which also disrupted the album's pre-order promotion schedule.

"We can't give it to him; he can't take the blame."

Since Star Entertainment and DSP Entertainment sought to hold Ji Zhonghua accountable for leaking information and defamation, he has become a pariah, hated by everyone.

CJ Entertainment withdrew its investment, and his startup plan fell through.

In addition, he also faces lawsuits from two companies. He doesn't think about trying to beg for mercy to avoid being dragged into litigation hell, nor should he, nor dare to, resort to underhanded tactics at this time.

"He'll take the blame for this and won't get any benefits in return."

The little girl pondered, "Then who should it be given to?"

"Could it be that the company of an artist who is currently making a comeback, or whose comeback is about to clash with yours, is trying to trip you up by deliberately throwing dirty water on you?"

With Han Shuo's current overwhelming popularity and highly anticipated achievements, it's hard for other singers and groups returning at the same time not to find him an eyesore.

Perhaps they might be tempted to do something drastic and try to take down Han Shuo using such underhanded tactics.

Han Shuo shook his head: "Such accusations are meaningless if they cannot be specific to a person or company."

"Specifically for the company..."

Shin Yoon-joo suddenly had an idea: "Send it to SM Entertainment?"

"Give it to me!"

Han Shuo wanted not only to easily resolve the bullying accusations, but also to attribute the crisis to the suppression by his rivals, and to pin a huge blame on them.

There is only one entity that meets this condition.

The treacherous minister has already emerged; it's SM Entertainment.

He high-fived Shin Yoon-joo: "We need to turn this crisis into an opportunity, interpret this incident as SM Entertainment's suppression of me, and teach them a lesson."

"They repeatedly disgusted me before, and they were unwilling to show any sincerity in apologizing."

"This time, I'm determined to squeeze every last drop of profit out of SM Entertainment."

He had already thought out the conditions for quitting.

Besides the necessary music video and practice room materials, he also needs to ask SM Entertainment for help.

What Lee Yeon-hee, what Go Ara, what Moon Ga-young?

We'll dig up as many as we can.

These actresses are all very beautiful, with striking features, and they should have had great careers.

It's a pity he stayed at SM Entertainment, wasting his precious youth.

He deserved to be recruited by him.

"Okay, okay."

Shin Yoon-joo was unclear about the specifics of how it would proceed.

However, she had absolute confidence in Han Shuo.

Han Shuo told Shen Yunzhu to go home: "Go and get me all the private photos you've taken over the years; I need them."

"Oh, a private photoshoot?"

Shin Yoon-joo said somewhat shyly, "Actually, there's no difference between private photos and everyday photos, it's just that the theme is a bit more girly. If you want, I can get you a few more."

Han Shuo: ? ? ?

He was completely baffled.

"No, what are you talking about?"

"I mean, bring me all the private photos you've taken of me over the years; I need them for something important."

Shin Yoon-joo blushed deeply and covered her face tightly, indicating that she was too embarrassed to face anyone.

Han Shuo leaned closer: "Of course, I want all of your private photos too."

"..."
