The Peninsula chaebol started by rescuing Samsung's little princess.

Apgujeong-dong in Gangnam District is a famous shopping district in Seoul. As early as 1996, it was defined as a "fashion street". Various brand-name stores are lined up one after another, and various plastic surgery clinics can be seen everywhere.

However, the most famous company here is SM Entertainment, which just celebrated its 10th anniversary.

From H.O.T. to TVXQ, a mere flap of wings here can unleash a "Korean Wave" sweeping across Asia.

At this moment, in the famous Blue Sky and White Clouds underground practice room of SM Entertainment, a petite girl bowed deeply to a group of girls in front of her.

"Annyeonghaseyo! My name is Park Injung, I'm 18 years old, and I'm very happy to become a trainee at SM Entertainment. Please take good care of me from now on!"

However, the other trainees reacted differently to this newly joined "older trainee," and some even whispered among themselves.

"Another new person has joined?"

"She's probably a candidate for Super Girls, right? I wonder how good she is?"

"She's incredibly talented; she's the champion of this year's 'Kissing Song Festival'!"

The practice room wasn't very big to begin with, and even though they kept their voices down, their chatter still echoed throughout the room.

"Quiet down, everyone. Super Junior has just debuted."

The company has launched two boy groups in a row, and now it's time for a girl group. Your chance has come!

As you all probably know, the Super Girls project aims to create a large girl group with a significant number of members. If you work hard, your chances of debuting are very high!

Although these words were just empty promises, they were something all the female trainees dreamed of, and they were willing to take a bite, responding in unison.

"Alright, let's begin training!"

Last year, SM Entertainment's trainees were still trained in a mixed-gender system.

But when a group of handsome young men and beautiful young women are together all day long, it's impossible for them not to fall in love!

No matter how strict the regulations are, they can't beat the hormones of adolescence.

After discovering several romantic relationships, the company started separating male and female trainees for training this year.

This rule was quickly adopted by other companies.

The training was quite tedious and boring, but every trainee was very focused and didn't notice the passage of time.

"Alright, that's all for today!"

As soon as the dance teacher announced the end of the training, everyone deflated like a punctured balloon.

"Lin Run'e, wait a minute!"

A tall, slender girl with bright, doe-like eyes was walking out, wiping the sweat from her brow, when she was stopped by the deputy director of the company's training department.

"Vice Minister Park?"

"You have a spare bed in your dorm, right? Park In-jung can stay there!"

"Inside!"

Lim Yoon-ah's gaze swept back and forth between the Vice Minister and Park In-jung, then she smiled at Park In-jung and said:

"In-jung unnie, my name is Lim Yoon-ah, may I help you with your things?"

"Thank you for your help!"

Park In-jung was a little embarrassed. She had a lot of luggage, which she had left outside the classroom all morning so as not to affect training.

SM's dormitories are not far from the company; they are all in Cheongdam-dong.

The two arrived at the dormitory in just a few minutes.

Nowadays, the dormitory conditions for SM trainees are quite basic, at best slightly better than the dormitories of domestic universities at the same time.

After all, SM Entertainment can't violate the Geneva Convention!

Pushing open the dormitory door, a small dormitory room comes into view.

The two of them didn't waste any time, but when they arrived at the dormitory, Kim Hyoyeon and Hwang Mi-young had already returned.

"Hi! You can call me Tiffany!"

Huang Meiying has only been back on the peninsula for a year, and she still mixes English into her speech.

She took the initiative to greet Park In-jung, but Kim Hyo-yeon remained seated in front of her computer, oblivious to everything around her.

"Unnie, what are you looking at?"

Lin Run'e stepped forward and asked.

"Oh, Yoona, I've got something good to show you!"

Kim Hyo-yeon pointed to the computer screen, and Park In-jung and Hwang Mi-young also gathered around.

"This is a website my friend recommended to me, MarsNet. It's quite interesting; I found a lot of my classmates here!"

"Isn't this just a knock-off Facebook?"

Hwang Mi-young recognized the website as very similar to Facebook at a glance.

It only has a red border and a white background, and the layout is somewhat different from Facebook's.

The top left corner of this Mars website displays your profile picture and nickname, and the bottom shows your continuous online time.

The top section includes: [Home], [Personal Homepage], [Friends], and [Applications]. On the right is the friends section, which, when clicked, will bring up a dialog box similar to QQ. The bottom middle section displays pictures and text statuses posted by friends.

It looks like an ordinary social networking site.

"Mo? Real or fake? A knock-off?"

Lin Run'e covered her mouth and gasped softly.

Facebook is, after all, a website that was only launched last year and is still developing across the United States; few people on the Peninsula know about it.

"But that's normal. These days, which website in any other country in the world isn't copied from the US?"

Hwang Mi-young shrugged, looking completely unfazed!

However, Kim Hyoyeon didn't like hearing this. Even though she hadn't been using the site for very long, she seemed to have become a fan of the website and couldn't stand anyone saying anything bad about it.

She clicked on a photo in the left-hand recommendation bar and said:

Does Facebook have this feature?

As soon as Kim Hyo-yeon clicked, a dialog box popped up on the website, displaying a photo of a handsome man and the following text:

"Love Compatibility: Tap the right to indicate 'like,' tap the left to indicate 'dislike!'"

"What is this?"

Huang Meiying had never seen this feature before and asked curiously.

"This feature is so cool! Just click on the right side like this if you like someone!"

If the other person also clicks on the right, then you'll be successfully paired and will have a private chat window just for the two of you!

Kim Hyoyeon demonstrated it to her roommates, but unfortunately it seemed that the handsome guy on the other side didn't click the right side, so they couldn't be matched!

"Huh? You can do that?"

"That sounds interesting. So, how many people like you now?"

Upon hearing Hwang Mi-young's question, Kim Hyo-yeon immediately looked embarrassed: "I don't care about quantity, I care about quality!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Don't laugh, it's not that easy to find a match. It's perfectly normal for the person you like not to like you back, isn't it?"

Seeing the crowd making a fuss, Kim Hyoyeon quickly defended herself.

"Actually, there's another way: no matter what the other person looks like, just click 'like' on their profile. That way you'll know how many people like you, right?"

At that moment, Park In-jung, who was making the bed, suddenly made a suggestion.

"Hey? That's a great idea!"

"That way, you'll have the upper hand, unnie!"

However, faced with the two's teasing, Kim Hyo-yeon's smile was forced, because she had already tried this method...

Yes, it's a sad story.

It's not that nobody likes her; after all, these days on the internet, if you post a picture of a sow, you'll get a couple of sycophants in the comments.

The key point is that, as an SM trainee, she sees handsome men every day, and those who aren't handsome are simply unappetizing!

"Hey, isn't that Yoochun oppa? What's he doing up there?"

At that moment, Lim Yoon-ah, with her sharp eyes, spotted a photo that was none other than Park Yoo-chun, a member of TVXQ who had already debuted!

"Is someone impersonating him? Or is it the real him?"

"If it's a real person, wouldn't things get really serious if the company found out?"
