Peninsula: My mentor Kim Tae-yeon

Open the comments section.

"Hahahaha, damn! The blogger is so talented! Gold, silver, bronze, iron, Taeyeon, hahahahaha!"

"Tell Taeyeon, if you can jump, great; if you can't, plenty of others can!"

"Could you please dance all of Taeyeon's dances? My sister can't dance anymore."

"Taeyeon won't disappear, she'll just turn from gold to silver, bronze, or iron."

"This is so similar! Is it a face swap and voice change?"

"The co-created Kpop dance world studio has been updating behind-the-scenes footage. Can you please take a look at the videos that are being questioned? You mentioned voice changes, which is indeed difficult to explain, but for the dance, they have behind-the-scenes footage."

"Face swapping is impossible; civilian software simply can't achieve that level of technology. To swap faces with such smooth movements, you'd need motion capture, but the problem is, the fact that motion capture could match Taeyeon's movements is already absurd. Why don't the motion capture actors just create their own accounts?"

"It's so smooth, could it really be that she's a student of Taeyeon?"

"Of course it's fake. Yang is busy touring right now, how could he have time to teach students, especially Chinese students?"

"Waaaaah, when will my sister be able to dance again?"

"Are you all crying at my grave here?" Su Xia couldn't help but complain as she looked at the comments section. "Your sister isn't dead yet."

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Kim Tae-yeon smiling happily to the side, paused, and then added a sentence.

"Half dead."

Kim Tae-yeon: "?"

His smile vanished instantly, and he squinted at Su Xia.

What does "half-dead" mean?

"You're practically half-dead, aren't you?"

"So, only when I, the real Kim Tae-yeon, am dead can you, the Iron Tae-yeon, take my place, right?" Kim Tae-yeon rolled her eyes and said.

"What's the deal with gold, silver, copper, and iron?" Su Xia asked, puzzled.

"Uh... how should I put it, it's probably a meme that netizens made up themselves. Because Karina and Winter look a lot like me from certain angles, they're called Eun Tae-yeon and Bronze Tae-yeon, while you're called Iron Tae-yeon because you dance too much like me."

"How do Yoo Jimin and Kim Min-jung resemble you?" Su Xia asked, puzzled. Did these two have any resemblance to Kim Tae-yeon?

"Try searching for it."

Su Xia didn't believe it, so she picked up her phone and searched it up, and then...

"I'll blanch it?!?"

Su Xia's eyes widened instantly.

When these three pictures were put together, Su Xia didn't recognize Kim Tae-yeon at first glance.

Especially the first and third pictures. Although the second picture is also very similar, you can tell it's Kim Min-jung if you pay a little attention.

But Yoo Jimin in the first picture looks so much like Kim Tae-yeon!

"Now you understand, right?" Kim Tae-yeon said from the side.

"Are you from the same plastic surgery clinic?" Su Xia finally blurted out after holding back for a while.

"You know what, we really are from the same place." Kim Tae-yeon touched her chin. "Most SM artists go to the same plastic surgery clinic, but for them, it's more about makeup and styling than actually getting plastic surgery to look like me."

"If I really did get plastic surgery to look like me, it wouldn't just be these specific angles and makeup that make me look like me."

"By the way, do celebrities get plastic surgery?" Su Xia asked curiously.

"Yes, of course." Kim Tae-yeon nodded matter-of-factly. "Not to mention celebrities, even ordinary people would get plastic surgery to correct facial imperfections and strive for a more beautiful appearance. Isn't that a normal pursuit of beauty?"

Su Xia blinked.

Damn, that makes so much sense, there's really nothing to refute.

Who doesn't want to become more handsome or beautiful?

"However, drastic plastic surgery is not suitable for celebrities." Kim Tae-yeon tilted her head and thought for a moment. "From the company's perspective, it is feasible to make minor adjustments for the celebrities, but major plastic surgery is too expensive and not cost-effective from an expenditure point of view. There is no need for it."

Are there any celebrities who are all-natural?

"There should be some, right?" Kim Tae-yeon thought for a moment uncertainly. "With so many celebrities, there must be a few who are naturally beautiful, but how would I know? They don't talk about plastic surgery everywhere. I only know about some of the celebrities in our company."

Su Xia nodded upon hearing this.

"Are you against plastic surgery?" Kim Tae-yeon asked.

"No." Su Xia shook her head and rolled her eyes. "I just think it looks good, I don't care about this or that."

Kim Tae-yeon smiled helplessly.

She asked that question unnecessarily.

"Okay, let's eat!"

……

Li Yuan's video was like a bucket of gasoline thrown into an already raging fire, and Su Xia, who already had a certain degree of fame in the K-pop circle, became even more popular.

The previous video of "Why" only made people feel that the cover was very good and had a Kim Tae-yeon feel, but people like Li Yuan who are familiar with Kim Tae-yeon and understand her dance moves are ultimately a minority.

But this time with "Gee", Li Yuan directly presented a comparison video to everyone, allowing everyone to clearly see just how similar Su Xia and Kim Tae-yeon are!

This editing even allowed the video to quietly break out of the K-pop circle and be seen by some people outside of it.

They didn't understand what K-pop was, but the identical dance moves of the female dancer on the left and the male dancer on the right still attracted many people.

Furthermore, "Gee" was the go-to song for the dating show "If You Are the One" back in the day, and quite a few people in China have heard it. Listening to the music and watching the video, I couldn't help but give it a thumbs up.

Just as the video's popularity continued to rise, the casting director of a program in Lingzhi City, Sichuan and Chongqing, thousands of miles away, also noticed the video.

"He really does look like Kim Tae-yeon." The casting director from the K-pop Carnival program looked at Su Xia in the video with surprise. "It's amazing that a man can dance a girl group dance with such flair!"

The casting director opened Su Xia's homepage and was stunned when he saw the yellow and black verified "V" mark.

"lawyer???"

The casting director was a bit confused. His perception was similar to that of the general public, who generally viewed lawyers as very elite.

I really didn't expect a male lawyer to be so good at covering girl group dances.

No, no one would have thought of that!

After the initial bewilderment came a surge of anticipation and excitement.

Looking at Su Xia's 12+ followers, that's real traffic!

With this level of skill, he already has over 100,000 followers after just two videos. This is definitely not his limit. He's a potential million-follower influencer!

flow!

A massive influx of traffic!

Their program is public in nature, but the authority given to it is too limited. The director was originally thinking of opening up the program, but there was really not much room for maneuver.

But now, Su Xia's sudden emergence has shown him the source of the show's viewership.

If Su Xia is capable enough, they might be able to mutually benefit from each other's programs.

The more they thought about it, the more feasible the casting director became.

After watching Su Xia's video twice more, I finally made a decision.

It's him!
