Peninsula: My mentor Kim Tae-yeon

Chapter 79 Taeyeon and Jessica (Please subscribe!)

Just as Su Xia fell silent after Liz's words, Jessica Jung also finished her concert for the day.

Amidst the cheers of fans, they returned to the backstage dressing room.

The staff were busy wrapping up their work before leaving, while Jessica Jung sat alone on the sofa in the lounge, staring blankly at the floor.

The collaboration with Su Xia on "Wandering in the Time of Memories" ultimately affected her, impacting her performance in the second half of the concert.

Fortunately, one advantage of idols holding concerts is that fans are quite tolerant of their artists. Even though Jessica Jung seemed a bit distracted in the second half of the show, fans were already mostly satisfied just to see her singing on stage.

Sitting on the sofa, staring blankly at the floor, his thoughts were filled with the scenes of collaborating with Su Xia on stage.

She wasn't thinking about Su Xia, of course.

Although Su Xia is somewhat handsome, he's not so handsome that she'd be obsessed with him and unable to sleep at night after only meeting him a few times.

What truly affected her was someone she hadn't been in contact with for a long time.

The last time I saw that person was last year, at a private dinner party. We met briefly, exchanged greetings, and then parted ways.

They were like two familiar strangers.

But now, a thought began to rise in Jessica Jung's mind.

Try to find out what that person is thinking, even in the slightest way.

He picked up his phone and found the number in his contacts that he used to talk to about everything with, but now just looking at it made him feel resistant.

Time is a truly wondrous thing.

It can turn two people who were once inseparable and could talk about anything into the most familiar strangers.

Yet, just when she thought they would always stay in this state, he showed her through his actions that they should have a talk.

Jessica Jung stared at the number and remained silent for a long time.

at last.

I pressed the dial button.

Having heard countless calls in her ears, Jessica Jung felt the wait was longer than ever before.

beep.

The call connected.

silence.

Jessica Jung remained silent, and the person on the other end of the phone, who clearly knew who the caller was, also remained silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Jessica Jung spoke.

"Do you know Su Xia?"

Meanwhile, at a luxury residence in Seoul.

Kim Tae-yeon stared at her phone, which was filled only with the sound of silent breathing, and looked at the name Jessica on the screen. Her mind was in turmoil.

She was lying at home, being a stay-at-home girl, when suddenly her phone rang. When she went closer to look, she was stunned.

Jessica!

Why would a number I haven't spoken to in years call me on its own initiative?

"Do you know Su Xia?"

More than ten seconds later, Kim Tae-yeon heard a familiar voice from the other end that sounded more mature than her previous clear voice.

Su Xia?

Kim Tae-yeon is no stranger to this name.

I first heard this name in a YouTube video and was amazed at how accurately the person could cover my song.

The second time she heard this name was during a live broadcast where he and Liz, a junior from IVE, proved their identity. Their singing skills, which were exactly the same as hers, shocked Kim Tae-yeon once again. Many friends inside and outside the industry also called to ask if this was her "illegitimate child" who had been left behind, cough, student.

It was during this time that the name Su Xia officially came into Kim Tae-yeon's view.

In her spare time, Kim Tae-yeon would also watch videos posted by Su Xia. She had a fairly deep understanding of Su Xia as a person.

At least the "Su Xia" on the internet knows about her.

"I've watched his videos, but I didn't teach him." Kim Tae-yeon didn't know what Jessica Jung was asking Su Xia about, but she still told her in advance that it had nothing to do with her.

"At my concert today, I collaborated with him on one of your songs. His singing style is just like yours before."

Jessica Jung paused for a moment, then spoke again.

Kim Tae-yeon ignored everything else, only hearing the phrase "We collaborated on one of your songs."

"How did you end up collaborating on my song?" Kim Tae-yeon asked after a moment's hesitation.

"CJ Entertainment contacted me to help with the publicity," Jessica Jung said briefly.

"Is that so?"

The two fell silent again.

"It's getting late, let's end the call here." Jessica Jung ended the call.

"Mmm." Kim Tae-yeon responded subconsciously, but the call didn't end there. After a two-second pause, she spoke again.

"May you be well from now on."

There was a two-second silence on Jessica Jung's end.

May your career be successful.

This time, it was Kim Tae-yeon who hung up the phone.

Looking at the ended communication, Kim Tae-yeon let out a sigh of relief and sat there in silence for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Kim Tae-yeon picked up her phone again and searched for Jessica's concert on YouTube.

Then, one video after another came into Kim Tae-yeon's view.

The most praised scene was the shimmering pink sea of ​​flowers.

In Su Xia's hotel room.

After washing up, Su Xia lay on the bed, scrolling through videos on her phone.

Bilibili and the K-pop section of the Music Notes app have been completely dominated by Jessica Jung's concert.

Both of these events generated a lot of buzz— Jessica Jung's concert and Su Xia's cover of Kim Tae-yeon's song.

It doesn't cover the entire K-pop scene.

However, when two things are put together, the resulting public reaction is not simply 1+1=2.

#Pink Ocean After Ten Years#

#Western Thailand#

The entertainment section on Weibo and the K-pop section on YouTube were completely dominated by related keywords. In particular, the scene of Su Xia and Jessica Jung performing on stage, with the pink sea shining in the audience, was described by countless Girls' Generation fans as a reappearance of the pink ocean after ten years.

Su Xia's collaboration with Jessica Jung didn't replicate the vocal harmony of the original Tae-sik, but the resonance of their voices still reminded people of those twin stars from the rise of K-pop.

The pairing that cannot be ignored when talking about Girls' Generation.

Of course, while some praise it, others will also have their doubts.

Although Su Xia and Jessica's harmonies were very similar, he is ultimately not Kim Tae-yeon, and Jessica Jung's singing skills have indeed slacked off in recent years, with a significant decline in her level, making the harmonies less cohesive.

While their harmonies sounded nice, they weren't actually as harmonious or pleasant as when Su Xia and Liz collaborated.

Although this sentiment was shared by many, it did not diminish their appreciation for Su Xia's collaboration with Jessica Jung in place of Kim Tae-yeon.

Especially in Su Xia's main battlefield, China, since Mao Mao Si and Guo Da's main battlefield has shifted to Yin Fu, Su Xia's number of fans has increased dramatically after the news spread to Yin Fu.

The number of fans on Bilibili, which was originally in the lead, has been overtaken by Fuyin, with the gap even reaching a huge one million.

Musical note fan count: 300 million+

Bilibili followers: 200 million+
