People on the Peninsula: I Became a Lucky Koi

"IU?"

Upon hearing Lee Ji-eun's stage name, Kim Chan asked in surprise.

Yoon Sung-hyun stopped walking and sat down to the side: "Yes, the male lead is in contact with Kim Soo-hyun."

"I've talked to people in the industry, and it's not bad to debut as an actor in 'The Producers,' as it leans towards a light comedy genre. It mainly combines the style of mockumentary, variety show reality, and workplace drama, and also has a lot of real variety show elements and celebrity cameos."

"Who's making a cameo appearance?" Jin Can asked with a smile, showing some interest.

After thinking for a moment, Yoon Sung-hyun said, "I expect quite a few celebrities to make cameo appearances."

"Park Jin-young, Park Bo-gum, Girls' Generation, Kim Jong-kook, Lee Kwang-soo, Go Ara, Baek Ji-young... After all, it's filmed on location at the KBS building, so there will be a lot of SM, YG, and JYP artists making cameo appearances."

"...Has the role of Bai Chengcan been confirmed?" Jin Can pointed to the male lead's name in the script, a slight thought stirring in his heart.

The fact that so many idols are making cameo appearances is quite appealing to him.

Yin Chengxian shook his head, "Not yet, the project has only been in preparation for a short time."

"Then let's go and make contact..." Jin Can said with a smile.

...

...

"You bluffed?!"

In a Japanese restaurant in Mapo-gu, Lee Ji-eun sipped soju, her eyes raised.

Quite surprised, "You and Lee Min-ho seemed to be getting along quite well, didn't you?"

"Something unexpected happened..."

Bae Suzy scratched her head, tucked the ends of her hair behind her neck, and glanced at the script "The Producers" that Lee Ji-eun was holding under her elbow. "Anyway, Lee Min-ho made quite a scene on set on the day filming wrapped."

Lee Ji-eun observed her friend's expression, a hint of doubt in her eyes. "Why do you seem completely unconcerned?"

"What's there to regret?" Bae Suzy chuckled, taking a sip of wine with her thin lips.

She seemed intrigued and moved closer to Lee Ji-eun, recounting the whole story of what had happened a few days ago, "..."

However, Bae Suzy omitted the fact that Kim Chan has a ministerial uncle.

The reason is simple: it's other people's business, so I shouldn't meddle.

In addition, the friend sitting in front of me, looking completely bewildered, is known as the "Nation's Little Sister" and has maintained a pure and innocent image for the past two years.

But we're all sisters, so who doesn't know who else?

"That's roughly how it is. That younger guy is really super handsome..." Bae Suzy didn't hold back in praising Kim Chan's appearance. She smiled and her eyes were full of anticipation.

"It's arranged. That kid is reporting to our company tomorrow."

Lee Ji-eun, with her petite face, glanced sideways at her friend, sorted out her thoughts, and stared in disbelief: "You mean..."

"Because of a trainee who's just somewhat handsome but hasn't debuted and has no popularity, Lee Min-ho misunderstood him? He doesn't even plan to explain?"

The way she looked at Bae Suzy at that moment was clearly as if she were looking at someone who was mentally challenged.

"Are you crazy, you brat?!"

Lee Ji-eun was so shocked she couldn't close her mouth.

"I'm not some trainee~" Bae Suzy retorted, pouting. Her friend kept praising Lee Min-ho, which made her a little unhappy.

"I don't really like players who seem old-fashioned these days..."

She emphasized her recently changed views on choosing a partner.

People, regardless of gender, are always afraid of comparison.

"Stop joking around." Lee Ji-eun sighed speechlessly, picked up her glass and clinked it against Bae Suzy's. "Suzy, let me analyze this for you..."

Bae Suzy adopted an attentive expression, smiling with narrowed eyes: "Go on."

"Still too young..." Lee Ji-eun said in a affected tone, her face slightly flushed.

He switched to teaching mode, saying, "If I were in Suzy's situation, I should first establish a relationship with that handsome younger man, while simultaneously playing hard to get with Lee Min-ho."

"If it's a handsome younger man, it's just a quick fling... Anyway, he's a trainee, so after that, she and Lee Min-ho quickly transitioned from push-and-pull to a relationship, reaching the peak of their ambiguous relationship..."

"Cough cough~" Bae Suzy almost choked on her drink when she heard that.

She glanced at Lee Ji-eun and exclaimed, "Oh!"

"How could I possibly do something like that?"

Lee Ji-eun ignored her, smiled, and narrowed her eyes into crescent moons. "Suzy!"

"Next time something like this happens, think about what your unnie would do..."

"No!" Bae Suzy shook her head in protest, her lips slightly pursed, as if she were somewhat speechless.

She changed the subject, "You know what, that younger guy's photography skills are amazing! Even though he ruined my relationship with Lee Min-ho, my career has suddenly taken off!"

Bae Suzy smiled broadly as she spoke.

It wasn't just idle talk; she genuinely felt that way, judging from the photos Jin Can took of her that day at the barbecue restaurant.

It went viral and was hailed as a masterpiece by many fans.

At an offline endorsement event a couple of days ago, Bae Suzy felt that she was in amazing shape when facing the camera.

Do you have a photo of that younger man?

Hearing Bae Suzy say this, Lee Ji-eun's curiosity was piqued. "Let me see~"

"Let me look." Bae Suzy picked up her phone and started flipping through the photo album.

Only then did I realize that I didn't have his photo.

No problem, Bae Suzy opened Kim Chan's Kakao account and sent a rabbit emoji.

"What are you doing?"

"Look at your face..."

Under Lee Ji-eun's gossipy gaze, Kim Chan quickly replied, "Look at the legs~"

"Pfft~ Hahaha~"

Lee Ji-eun was overjoyed and looked at Bae Suzy with a teasing expression.

Feeling a little embarrassed by Kim Chan's reply, Bae Suzy bit her lip and sent another message:

"I have friends around, give me some face? Send Noona a cool photo..."

She had a slightly flushed face.

Kim Chan: "The entry fee is 200000 Korean won. No photos will be sent if you don't join, no questions will be answered, and only green-hearted or 'shrimp-headed' girls are welcome. Chu Min!"

"What are you babbling about?" Bae Suzy felt that Kim Chan's reply was sticky and slurred.

You've really broken through my defenses. How come you're always so angry, but now that I'm asking you to give me some face, you're making all sorts of excuses?

"Chan!"

"You're dead, tomorrow!"

Bae Suzy gritted her teeth and gave a warning, then angrily turned off her phone.

Lee Ji-eun pressed her face against her arm, laughing so hard she could hardly breathe, "Aigoo!"

"Suzy, it seems you were thoroughly rejected?"

...

...

The following day, while the investment in JYP and the creation of his own agency were proceeding smoothly.

Kim Chan traveled by car to the agency of his first "Pippen," Park Jin-young, accompanied by Yoon Sung-hyun.

Yin Chengxian, who was driving, quickly adapted to his role as assistant, reporting with a smile:

"I've already made an appointment to meet with writer Park Ji-eun, the screenwriter of 'The Producers,' next week."

"Alaso." Jin Can nodded.

In the South Korean film and television industry, screenwriters hold a higher or equal status than directors. They also wield significant influence over casting within production teams.
