Peninsula: Starting with a silly childhood friend!

"Nayeon-ssi, let's not rush into recording. I'll play 'TT' for you once. Not just Nayeon-ssi, you all should listen too. You all need to sing it once later. Then I'll discuss with Jinyoung-hyung how you should divide the parts. Understand?"

Liu Baiyuan glanced at everyone, and the eight people sitting behind him, as well as Lin Nalian in the recording area, all nodded in agreement.

Seeing Liu Baiyuan's unfazed demeanor, Park Jin-young couldn't help but show a hint of satisfaction.

As expected of the teacher's star student, he really gave me a pleasant surprise.

Fortunately, I didn't let him go, otherwise wouldn't I have been aiding the enemy?!

The thought of this topic stirred up a sense of resentment in Park Jin-young's heart, clearly recalling Lee Soo-man's ruthless act of keeping the song but not the person.

Indeed, sometimes the trauma a person suffers requires a lifetime to heal.

Perhaps it is for this reason that JYP, founded by Park Jin-young, has become a company that prioritizes talent, and the requirements for appearance have dropped significantly.

I plugged in the USB drive that Park Jin-young handed me and played the song "TT" again in the recording studio.

While they were listening to the songs, Liu Baiyuan was also explaining some techniques to them.

With the foundation provided by the mute system and his own musical skills, it wasn't difficult for him to serve as a temporary 'teacher' for TWICE. In addition, since he had only recently graduated, his teaching methods were quite different from those of Park Jin-young and the others.

Having been through a lot in society, they are primarily results-oriented, prioritizing convenience and speed, and focusing on the final product, which is why they sing like this.

Liu Baiyuan, who had just graduated from school, preferred to guide students on campus, which can be put as "give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime"—teaching them some skills.

"Alright, Nayeon-ssi, you can come out now. Next... Yoo Jeongyeon-ssi, you can come now."

"Nei~"

The TWICE members went in one by one. Each song was three minutes long, and the nine of them each sang it once. Before long, half an hour had passed.

Finally, after the last person, Chou Tzu-yu, came out of the recording area, Park Jin-young and Yoo Baek-won had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

"I think Nayeon should do the import. Her voice has a strong energetic quality, which fits the overall direction of the song very well."

"I think Momo did a great job with this part before the chorus; it suits her very well."

"Okay, in that case, Sana-xi could try this part. Her voice is very different from Momo's, so it would create a great contrast effect..."

Liu Baiyuan and Park Jin-young did not hide their discussions from them. On the contrary, they would ask for their opinions from time to time. Of course, for TWICE at the moment, there was no useful feedback. Basically, they just agreed to whatever the two said.

Of course, Hirai Momo was sitting quietly to the side at this time, and when she looked at the focused Liu Baiyuan, her eyes seemed to be shining.

Liu Baiyuan's face was already exceptionally handsome, and the not-so-strong lighting in the recording studio further accentuated the three-dimensionality of his features.

To be honest, given his looks, it wasn't unreasonable for Park Jin-young to want him to switch careers and debut as an actor.

With his looks, the ability to write songs like "TT," and his outstanding voice when recording demos, to be honest, Park Jin-young always felt that if Yoo Baek-won were to debut, he would almost certainly be a new generation of all-around entertainer.

If I had to find a comparison... well, maybe it's just that he's slightly inferior to himself!

"Unnie, be a little careful."

At that moment, Chou Tzu-yu, sitting next to Hirai Momo, whispered something in her ear. Upon hearing Chou Tzu-yu's words, the latter immediately snapped out of her reverie. However, it was then that she realized she had inexplicably become the center of attention...

The people sitting around her were all looking at her strangely, including Mina, Sana, Dahyun, Nayeon... oh, and Tzuyu too.

This is mainly because Hirai Momo's expression just now was too... "smart".

He held that expression for about a minute; anyone who saw it would find it strange.

Of course, only those sitting around her noticed it. At this moment, Yoo Jeongyeon, Park Jihyo, and Son Chaeyoung on the other side of the sofa were completely unaware of Hirai Momo's "strange" behavior.

"Um, I was just spacing out..."

Hirai Momo blushed slightly, a hint of embarrassment on her face. It was all this jerk's fault; he didn't look like this when he was little, how did he become so handsome now...?

She found an excuse for herself and shifted all the blame onto Liu Baiyuan.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Park Jin-young, who was originally exchanging lines with Liu Baiyuan, keenly noticed the commotion in the crowd and asked the group a question. Upon seeing this, Liu Baiyuan also turned to look at the group.

"Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing, we were just... talking about the lyrics."

Upon hearing this, Lim Nayeon quickly waved her hand and shook the lyric sheet in her hand in response.

"Ah, you can come over and take a look now. Bai Yuan and I have divided the lyrics. You can take your papers and cross out your parts here."

They couldn't possibly divide them one by one, so Park Jin-young and Yoo Baek-won divided their parts on a single sheet of lyrics using numbers from 1 to 9 for the nine members. All they had to do was find the number corresponding to their ranking and then divide it on their own sheet of lyrics.

One minute later, all nine members of TWICE took their own lyrics.

As the soul of TWICE's energetic style and one of the strongest singers, Lim Nayeon received the most parts, while Hirai Momo and Minatozaki Sana took on the parts before the chorus.

"Alright, it's up to you now."

Park Jin-young seemed to be testing him at this point, so he directly gave the main stage to Yoo Baek-won and sat on the sofa himself.

"Well then... Nayeon-ssi, why don't you start?"

Liu Baiyuan called Lin Nalian's name, and the latter immediately got up and went back into the recording area.

It has to be said that Lim Nayeon's voice is indeed a perfect match for the energetic style. Her voice is inherently "light and cheerful", and the subtle smile she gives when singing further enhances this characteristic.

They really fought their way through the debut battles, so their skills are undeniable.

Soon, the morning was over.

This morning was undoubtedly a morning that completely changed Park Jin-young's perception of Liu Baiyuan. He had thought that Liu Baiyuan would be like a student who had just graduated and was encountering setbacks everywhere, and that he could provide timely guidance and correction.

However, Liu Baiyuan did not make any major mistakes as he had imagined; he only showed some clumsiness typical of a newcomer.

However, this is not a big problem. At worst, it will just be a little slower in terms of progress, and this will gradually improve over time.

"Alright, that's all for this morning!"

Park Jin-young announced the end of the morning's work, and the instant he finished speaking, Hirai Momo went straight to Liu Baiyuan's side...
