Peninsula: My mentor Kim Tae-yeon

Jessica Jung subconsciously turned her head to look at Su Xia, at his slightly lowered profile.

[Taeyeon used to sing like this too.]

Jessica Jung's ears were filled with Su Xia's singing voice, but her mind was filled with memories of the past.

Time may wash away many things, but it can also beautify some memories.

Even though she has been away from there for many years, that period of time is still a part of Jessica's life as a member of Girls' Generation.

Time...

It goes by so fast.

"today"

"I, too, live within the traces you left behind."

Su Xia turned around, looked in the direction of Jessica Jung, and smiled as she gestured for them to proceed.

Everyone in the audience held their breath at that moment.

Jessica Jung looked at Su Xia's smiling eyes and felt as if she saw a familiar face behind him, also smiling.

A slight smile played at the corners of his lips.

"Ajidou~"

The moment Jessica Jung's clear voice resounded throughout the venue, more than 10,000 people erupted in a thunderous cheer.

Jessica Jung wore the signature smile of Girls' Generation. At this moment, the mature Jessica Jung seemed to have returned to her state more than ten years ago, no longer the solo singer Jessica Jung, but...

Jessica from Girls' Generation.

"Today, I also live in your time."

As Jessica Jung finished singing her part, Su Xia, who was standing next to her, also raised her microphone.

Everyone saw this scene through the big screen, and countless expectant eyes were fixed on the stage, watching the two people on it.

Kim Tae-yeon, resting her chin on her hand, stared intently at the two on stage, just like the audience.

Can you do it?

She had unreservedly passed on the sense of chemistry she and Jessica Jung had shared to Su Xia, but their rehearsal was not ideal. Although they were able to harmonize immediately, there was still a significant gap compared to when they were together.

That feeling was something that Su Xia and Jessica Jung could never capture.

Su Xia is not Kim Tae-yeon.

Jessica Jung is not the same Jessica she used to be.

But now...

Kim Tae-yeon looked at the two people on the stage, and at the smile on Jessica Jung's lips.

For some reason, she had a feeling that this time... maybe she could succeed?

The lingering sounds of the instruments echoed throughout every inch of the venue, while the background music was compressed to a minimum, creating a tranquil atmosphere.

Even among unfamiliar figures on the street.

When Su Xia's deep voice, which is very similar to Kim Tae-yeon's, and her strong narrative sense complemented Jessica Jung's clear voice, the moment the harmony of the chorus started after the emotional build-up in the verse, it resonated with the entire audience.

Even though Su Xia is not Kim Tae-yeon, and Jessica Jung is not the Jessica of the past, at this moment, their voices merged into one, forming a brand new version that sounds just like Tae-yeon's voice!

After a full ten years, Tai Xi He Yin reappeared once again.

"Yes!" Kim Tae-yeon excitedly clenched her fist.

This is the time!

That's the tone!

That's the rhythm!

It matches perfectly, it matches everything!

Kim Tae-yeon was visibly excited. Despite a series of mistakes during rehearsals, she ultimately achieved top-notch chemistry on stage!

"That's it, sing with your heart!" Kim Tae-yeon exclaimed, looking at Su Xia on stage.

Su Xia had already learned most of what she knew, and the rest she didn't teach, not because she was being secretive, but because it was unnecessary.

A new singer can imitate their predecessors in the early stages, but if they want to truly succeed on this path, blindly imitating is a dead end.

Kim Tae-yeon didn't teach Su Xia the rest of her skills because she wanted him to develop his own style.

Now...

Enjoy the stage.

Even on that lonely fallen leaf, carried by the wind.

Even in the air that blushes the twilight.

Su Xia and Jessica Jung's harmonies echoed throughout the venue.

"Everything I see, hear, and feel."

"It's as if you're still here"

Singers rarely get so absorbed in a particular song during a concert, as this can affect their performance of subsequent songs.

But now, Jessica Jung is forced to immerse herself in the song.

She... thought of Kim Tae-yeon.

Su Xia is not Kim Tae-yeon, nor is she the Jessica Jung of yesteryear, yet their harmony still reminded Jessica Jung of her past.

"Open the door to memories"

"In Search of Memories of You"

Her eyes gradually reddened.

"What should I do?"

When the century-old harmony reappeared, accompanied by the echoing of the song, many fans who had been with the audience since their childhood immediately had tears in their eyes.

The charm of live performances lies in the fact that the singer's voice can merge the audience's emotions with their own. The musical resonance created by the singer's past stories and songs allows the audience to feel the singer's joys and sorrows.

And that's exactly what's happening now.

When the fitting lyrics were combined with the two singers' heartfelt performance, fans of Tess could no longer contain their emotions, recalling their Girls' Generation days. Tears streamed down their faces as they waved their glow sticks.

When the producer saw the fans waving glow sticks, he made an unplanned move.

"Turn all the glow sticks pink!"

The next instant, to the astonishment of the fans, the glow sticks in their hands transformed into pink lights. More than ten thousand pink lights converged to form a dazzling pink ocean.

This is neither the pink of Gooda nor the pink of Mozzarella, nor even the pink of 2024.

This was the backdrop of Girls' Generation in 2007...

A pink ocean reunited!

The gentle lingering notes flowed with the pink ocean, and this beautiful scene was frozen in time on the stage as Su Xia and Jessica Jung looked at each other, with the pink ocean swaying below.

……

"Thank you." After finishing her performance, Su Xia took her phone from the staff member. She had promised Liz to record a video, and naturally she wouldn't break her promise.

"Great job!" Kim Tae-yeon's figure suddenly appeared.

"I wonder what the online reviews will be like," Su Xia said, sending the video to Liz.

"Don't worry, you did a great job, the online reviews will definitely be positive," Kim Tae-yeon encouraged.

"I hope so." Su Xia shook her head, stretched, and said, "I'm starving. I'm going to find some food."

"Go ahead, go ahead," Kim Tae-yeon waved her hand.

"What are your thoughts on this collaboration?" Su Xia asked Kim Tae-yeon as she walked outside.

"What can I possibly think?" Kim Tae-yeon glanced at him. "The final pink sea was as beautiful as ever."

Do you miss the old days?

Who wouldn't miss it?

"Do you want to go back to the past?"

Kim Tae-yeon smiled upon hearing this.

"No."

Let bygones be bygones.

"Life is about separation after reunion."
