Peninsula: My mentor Kim Tae-yeon

"What if the person you're going on a blind date with is Liz?" Kim Tae-yeon's voice drifted over.

"Aren't you going over there? Don't keep the girl waiting." Su Xia glanced at Kim Tae-yeon, then said to Sun Haotian.

"That's true, then I'll be going."

"bye."

After watching Sun Haotian leave, Su Xia turned to Kim Tae-yeon.

"what?"

"I'm asking you a question. What would you say if your blind date was Liz?"

"How so? I got our marriage certificate that very day! And we consummated our marriage that same day!"

"The wedding night is the main point, isn't it?" Kim Tae-yeon had a "I see right through you" look on her face. "Ha, men."

"Then don't worry about it."

"So it's not that you're unwilling to get married, it's just that you're not interested in the girls you're currently meeting," Kim Tae-yeon concluded.

"It's not that I'm not interested, it's just that I don't have the money." Su Xia scratched his head. "I don't have a car or a house, what family would be willing to let their daughter marry me? Even if they were willing, I don't want my future wife to suffer with me, so it's better not to get married."

"I understand." Kim Tae-yeon nodded. "So, if it's Liz, she's rich and beautiful, you can cling to her and become a gigolo."

"Hehe, you understand me best," Su Xia said with a chuckle.

"Go wash up and go to bed." Kim Tae-yeon rolled her eyes. "You can do anything in your dreams."

"Hehe." Su Xia did not refute.

Liz is beautiful and rich, so she definitely wouldn't be interested in him now.

Instead of hoping for others' favor, improve yourself and become a better person. When you blossom, butterflies will come.

"Don't worry." Kim Tae-yeon looked at Su Xia, reached out and patted Su Xia's shoulder lightly, "With your teacher personally guiding you, you will be worthy of Liz in the future."

"First, you can teach, not discipline." Su Xia stared at Kim Tae-yeon with dead fish eyes. "Second, my goal is to make a lot of money and bring glory to my ancestors, not to make Liz fall for me, you shallow woman."

"Is that so?" Kim Tae-yeon blinked. "Then I won't tell you Liz's contact information. You'll have to find out for yourself."

"?!?!"

Su Xia's eyes widened.

"Godfather!"

"Hehe." Kim Tae-yeon smiled slightly, "Just kidding!"

Su Xia: "?"

……

Su Xia's application form was approved at lightning speed after being mailed to CD (Chengdu) TV station, and Su Xia was informed that the competition would begin on May 3rd and May 4th.

May 2nd, noon, the day before the K-pop Carnival competition began.

Guanyin Airport.

Su Xia yawned as she sat on the sofa scrolling through her phone.

The timing was too tight, right in the middle of the May Day holiday. All the tickets for the 30th and 1st were sold out, and even the tickets for the 2nd saw prices skyrocket.

But there's no other way; if I want to participate in the competition, I have to buy it no matter how expensive it is.

During this period, in order to prepare for this competition, Su Xia went into seclusion and did not even update any videos, focusing entirely on preparing for the competition.

During this period of seclusion, Kim Tae-yeon was also forced to pick up her forgotten dance skills again.

For this competition, Kim Tae-yeon devised a hellish training program for Su Xia and meticulously prepared a song as her ultimate move!

"A lot has happened these past few days," Su Xia said casually while scrolling through videos.

"What's wrong?" Kim Tae-yeon was reviewing the match to make sure she hadn't missed anything when she heard Su Xia's words and floated over.

What immediately comes into view is the battle between Hybe and Ador.

"A branch office manager holding a press conference to accuse the head office boss of saying yes, it's truly a once-in-a-lifetime event." Su Xia clicked her tongue in amazement. Even though she could see all sorts of bizarre cases in the law firm, Su Xia couldn't help but marvel at the anthropomorphism of Min Xizhen and Fang Shihe.

"Before joining Hybe, Director Min Hee-jin was our SM's visual arts director. Red Velvet and f(x) were both groups she spearheaded. In terms of girl group concepts, Director Min Hee-jin can be considered top-tier in K-pop," Kim Tae-yeon commented from the side.

"However, although she is very capable, she is too ambitious. There was a factional struggle within SM that involved the entire company. Although Director Min Hee-jin did not participate on the surface, she left the company shortly after the factional struggle ended. Rumor has it that although it seemed like two factions were fighting, Director Min Hee-jin was actually trying to take the position of president, but she failed."

"Your company has quite a few interesting stories," Su Xia teased.

"Our company's board of directors is very complex, and the internal struggles are fierce. It's hard to explain in a few words." Kim Tae-yeon shook her head. "Director Min Hee-jin's personality means she's destined not to be content with her lot. It's inevitable that Hybe and Ador will have a conflict; it's just a matter of time."

"Who will win?" Su Xia asked curiously.

"No one will win, but no one will lose either. They'll shake hands and make peace once they realize they can't defeat each other. But when gods fight, mortals suffer." Kim Tae-yeon's last half-sentence seemed to have a hidden meaning, and Su Xia immediately thought of the news.

"You mean...something's going to happen to NewJeans?"

Before Kim Tae-yeon could speak, Su Xia continued, "That's right, they were too hasty in choosing sides. How can celebrities take sides in such high-level power struggles? If something goes wrong, the celebrities are destined to be sacrificed."

With Kim Tae-yeon, a living fossil of K-pop, in front of him, Su Xia has a very deep understanding of the status of K-pop artists.

Although NewJeans is one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and a representative group of the new generation of girl groups in South Korea, you have never reached the heights of Girls' Generation, TWICE, and BLACKPINK at SM, JYP, and YG. Moreover, even an unprecedented group like BTS has been completely dominated by Hybe. You are just a popular girl group, getting involved in this kind of thing is simply courting death.

"You're right." Kim Tae-yeon nodded in agreement. "Artists should not get involved in any events that involve a political stance, from the top management to company infighting, they should not participate in any of them."

Upon hearing this, Su Xia raised an eyebrow.

"How do you say Lotte Candy?"

Kim Tae-yeon was taken aback by what she heard, but then she thought of the public relations crisis in the middle of her career, and her lips twitched involuntarily.

"Would you believe me if I said it was a coincidence?"

"It's no use me believing you." Su Xia shrugged. "At the time you posted that, you said you were innocent, but do you even believe it yourself?"

Okay, that was definitely overly sensitive.

Kim Tae-yeon shook her head helplessly.

"Actually, this incident made me understand the principle I just mentioned. Since then, I have avoided anything involving my stance."

"Obviously, not every artist understands this principle."

Su Xia took out her phone and sent the news to Kim Tae-yeon.

Next, news of IVE's comeback with their second mini-album "IVE SWITCH" came into view, along with the controversial content of the music video for their title track "Heya" and leader Ahn Yu-jin's remarks during the promotion.
