Peninsula: Starting with a silly childhood friend!

Seeing the surprised looks on their faces, Liu Baiyuan smiled and said slowly to everyone, "Yes, thanks to President Park Jin-young's trust, I will be your producer for the next period of time. I hope you will all cooperate with me."

"Inside..."x9

Although Yu Dingyan and the others were not very familiar with Liu Baiyuan, they had at least worked together before.

They had a vague understanding of his background, but even so, they couldn't comprehend how a producer could suddenly become a supervisor...

Unfortunately, they couldn't understand, and no one would explain it to them now. Seeing that Liu Baiyuan had finished speaking, Park Jin-young immediately took over the conversation, saying:

"Starting today, you will begin practicing the choreography for 'TT'. The music video recording will be scheduled for next week, to be completed before you depart for the United States. I will inform the production team of the deadline, so you need to intensify your practice during this time."

"Yes! We understand!"

After giving his instructions to the nine members of TWICE, Park Jin-young told them to leave and go to the practice room.

Normally, at this point in the process, Liu Baiyuan would have left because he thought Park Jin-young was ugly.

Park Jin-young: ? ? ?

But this time, Liu Baiyuan didn't go with them. Instead, after everyone left, he slowly spoke to Park Jin-young again:

"Brother Zhenying, there's something I want to ask you."

Park Jin-young was also taken aback when he heard Liu Baiyuan's words: "Go on."

Without hesitation, Liu Baiyuan asked directly:

"I have a song here, but I want to give it to Red Velvet from SM Entertainment. What should I do?"

what?

Although Liu Baiyuan's question was very sincere, Park Jin-young still felt a sense of 'offense'.

"Hey, Bai Yuan, didn't we agree that the company should have priority access to our songs?"

Park Jin-young's tone was full of resentment, and his gaze toward Liu Baiyuan seemed to carry a hint of 'betrayal'.

Although Liu Baiyuan's songs have not yet been tested by the market, from his perspective of more than ten years in the industry, the quality of these two songs is not bad.

He's at least capable of getting five or six number one hits, and for "TT," which he has high hopes for, he's even more certain that it will get at least ten number one hits!

With the success of its predecessor, "CHEER UP", the results of "TT" are not surprising.

Against this backdrop, Park Jin-young takes every song by Liu Baiyuan very seriously.

But now Liu Baiyuan is actually going to aid the "enemy"?!

Isn't this blatant NTR (Netorare) in front of him? The worst part is he can't do anything about it; he can only act like a helpless "wife"...

"Ahem, Jinyoung hyung, this is a bit of a special case. This song was written specifically for Red Velvet, so there's no way around it. Besides, we already have TWICE's songs scheduled until next year, so even if we gave it to TWICE, we couldn't use it..."

Although Liu Baiyuan was telling the truth, Park Jin-young squinted at him.

"It's not that bad, Brother Zhenying. Let's open our eyes first, and we can talk things over..."

Seeing that Park Jin-young had already closed his eyes, Liu Baiyuan felt a little embarrassed and said to him, "After all, I was the one who broke my promise first, so I still feel a little guilty."

After all, he had promised Park Jin-young that he would give JYP priority if there were any songs in the future.

But I was thinking of pursuing a two-pronged approach because of time management considerations.

But to Liu Baiyuan's surprise, Park Jin-young's face darkened immediately upon hearing his words, and his tone was more impatient than ever before.

"...My 'Kick Aimu' is already wide open!"

"..."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the office became somewhat awkward...

Liu Baiyuan pursed his lips, unsure of what to say, while Park Jin-young took a deep breath, calming his wounded heart, and then said to Liu Baiyuan:

"If you want to send a song to Red Velvet, just submit it to SM Entertainment. They have a platform for accepting submissions, and you can submit your song anytime."

At this point, Park Jin-young paused for a moment, then continued:

"But if it goes through JYP's channels, then it's a collaboration, which is relatively more troublesome, like the time I took you there a few days ago."

Upon hearing Park Jin-young's words, Liu Baiyuan lowered his eyes slightly and began to ponder.

Actually, Park Jin-young's statement isn't entirely correct. The reason he gave the example was largely due to his presence. However, it is true that it would be more complicated than dealing with an individual, because it involves matters between companies.

If you don't want to ruin your own reputation, there's almost no chance of getting away with it, and the standards will be much stricter than usual when it comes to accepting songs.

Therefore, it's best to go through personal channels. After all, this means submitting songs as a producer, and you only need to consider the song itself and the suitability of the artist.

"Then I'll try submitting it back later, thanks Zhenying."

Liu Baiyuan quickly made up his mind, thanked Park Jin-young, and the latter waved his hand and said:

"There's no need for such formalities between us, fellow students. Our teacher even called me before and asked me to take extra care of you. Compared to the agreement that you should prioritize JYP, it's what our teacher and I would like to see if you can have better development and explore more diverse musical styles."

Park Jin-young's magnanimity goes without saying. JYP has had artists leave, but almost all of them, including staff members, don't have a falling out with him. On the contrary, he supports their development.

I hope they will have good development after leaving JYP.

This also explains why Park Jin-young is the most popular boss among the three big names in the Korean Peninsula.

It was not only because of his decades-long dedication, but also because of his kindness and generosity towards his subordinates.

Meanwhile, TWICE, having left the meeting room, returned to the practice room together. On their way there, Mina asked Momo Hirai:

"Has Bai Yuan oppa mentioned this to you?"

Hirai Momo is, after all, Liu Baiyuan's childhood friend. Even if they don't share everything with each other, they would definitely talk to each other about this kind of thing, right?

So Mina immediately asked Hirai Momo, but...

"No, I just found out too."

Hirai Momo's doubts were no less than Mani's, and perhaps even more complex, because she realized that she didn't truly know everything about her "oppa"...

An inexplicable sense of crisis swept over her, and a faint unease filled her heart...

However, while some were happy, others were sad. Minatozaki Sana noticed Hirai Momo's disappointment and immediately approached the silly Momo with a mischievous grin, whispering in her ear:

"Momo, I really didn't mean to cause trouble..."
