People on the Peninsula: I Became a Lucky Koi

However, to Jin Can's surprise...

After pausing for two seconds, Yoo Jeong-yeon suddenly reached out and took the half of the sausage bread.

With a resolute expression, he took a bite.

She had found the answer in her heart…

"Huh?" Jin Can was dumbfounded.

He wanted to comfort and encourage Yu Dingyan, but how come... he was discouraged in one fell swoop?

Does this seem to have strengthened her resolve to give up?

Yu Dingyan demonstrated to Jin Can how to eat half a sausage bread in two bites.

His mouth was stuffed full, and he was choking a little.

"...No one's going to take it from you..." Jin Can was speechless.

After forcing herself to swallow the bread, Yu Dingyan wiped the crumbs from the corner of her mouth and smiled at Jin Can:

"Kamsammida~Golden xi".

Jin Can rubbed his forehead, thinking that Yu Dingyan had made up her mind to go to work, and still wished her well, saying, "You will become an excellent baker..."

"Haha..."

Yoo Jeongyeon smiled and raised her hand, playfully punching Kim Chan's arm. "You need to eat well to have the energy to lose weight, Kim Chan-ssi!"

Jin Can glanced at her and smiled as well: "You startled me, friend."

"Are we friends now?" Yoo Jeongyeon took off her black beret, revealing her cool short hair.

He stretched out his fist like a boy and held it in mid-air.

Jin Can bumped fists with her. "Hmm~ Why doesn't that count?"

"I'll let you in on a little secret. The final lineup for SIXTEEN will be decided on the 15th of next month..."

"As expected of royalty!" Yu Dingyan said with a moment of surprise.

After Jin Can's intervention, Yu Dingyan quickly regained her determination and motivation to debut.

However, she still decided to stand guard until the very end.

There were so many students registering at Seoul National University today, the shop was really busy…

As Kim Chan was leaving, Yoo Jeongyeon went to the pastry display case at the front desk, picked up tweezers, and put a few loaves of bread into a bag: "Kim Chan-xi!"

"Our crumble bread and glutinous rice balls are amazing, I'll give you a few..."

Jin Can did not refuse Yu Dingyan's kindness and smiled, "Kamsangmidah, Master Yu."

"Huh?" Yu Dingyan grinned, deftly handing the brown paper bag to Jin Can, raising an eyebrow:

"You're welcome, you're a top student!"

...

...

The next day, Jin Can saw Yu Dingyan at the company.

With his helpfulness, Yu Dingyan regained her confidence...

The thought of this child, if he really debuts in the future, on variety shows or other programs, is very touching.

With red eyes, she recalled those confusing days during her training career, when a handsome guy, like the sun, dispelled her confusion.

Jin Can felt a strange sense of accomplishment.

"Even though I'm singing this song..."

I wonder if this can convey my true feelings.

In the recording studio, Park Jin-young wore headphones and listened to the audio of "Untitled" recorded by Kim Chan.

The child was about to join the crew of "The Producers". After discussing it, the two decided to record the audio of the song "Untitled" before joining the crew, with Park Jin-young in charge of producing.

I hope you'll be happy~

It hurts, it hurts so much…

Park Jin-young listened to Kim Chan's slightly hoarse voice as if it were celestial music.

His distinctive voice immediately drew him into the song's atmosphere, making him recall the face of his first love.

It was a bright, sunny day…

To be fair, this guy admitted that when he was young, he woke up to different women every day.

Whether it's true or false is unknown.

half an hour.

Park Jin-young took off his headphones, clapped his hands, and shouted, "Cut!"

"Otherwise, my throat is about to burst into flames..." Jin Can joked, picking up his water glass to moisten his throat.

Park Jin-young smiled and changed the subject, "Do you want to debut with this song as your solo single, or make a mini-album?"

The company is currently thriving, and Miss A's comeback is imminent. The main pressure lies in Kim Chan's debut and the broadcast of "SIXTEEN," which is the project for the new girl group...

Multi-line parallelism…

He is determined to make JYP's stock price climb step by step to the highest point!

"What's your suggestion?" Jin Can asked back, wanting to hear the opinion of a professional.

Although JYP's operations and marketing are a complete mess, I still respect them.

Park Jin-young pondered for a moment, then explained the current market situation: "Mini album, please?"

"You can try continuing to produce your own songs, or you can choose 3-5 songs from the company's music library. Right now, although Big Bang hasn't confirmed a comeback yet, judging from YG's attitude, it's probably a done deal."

"At SM Entertainment, there were rumors in the latter half of last year that Kim Tae-yeon would be going solo, but it hasn't been confirmed yet..."

As of now, news of comebacks from various groups and artists is flying everywhere in the new year.

At first glance, this year seems quite lively...

"Let's go with a mini album then." Kim Chan leaned back in his chair and chuckled. "Who knows, it might lead to a rivalry with Big Bang."

Park Jin-young waved his hand, "So what if it's a collision? It's just our first mini-album, we're not aiming for a huge hit. Besides, you have an acting career that can support you."

Then, he asked with a puzzled look, "Are you planning to debut this summer?"

"Pretty much, let's wait until PDnim finishes 'SIXTEEN'." Kim Chan said with a smile, indicating his thoughts. When "The Producers" is released, the double hype will be better than no hype at all when Shui Lingling debuts.

Park Jin-young nodded and asked, "If you're going to be a singer, it'd be best to have a stage name like Chan. Kim Chan, or just the English name, Chan, what do you think?"

Listen to his advice.

Jin Can tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Let me think about it some more."

"If you're producing your own mini-album, you'll have a lot of headaches to deal with," Park Jin-young said with a smile, patting him on the shoulder. "For example, the album title, the concept, and the overall style coordination."

"It's all so miscellaneous and exhausting..."

"Oh, and the name of the fan club too."

Park Jin-young added.

These seemingly useless items can greatly enhance fans' trust and empty their wallets.

"Character design!"

Park Jin-young added that this is an extremely important point.

"Character design is out of the question." Jin Can rejected the last point, "Character design is a shackle."

"As an actor and singer, I don't need a persona..."

Park Jin-young made a profound statement, saying, "Having no persona is the biggest persona you can have."

"Maybe~" Jin Can shrugged and spread his hands.

For idols, a persona is a powerful tool for attracting fans, but for him, it's a burden because their professions are different.

Furthermore, Jin Chan heard Bambam share that their manager repeatedly told them before their debut that they could keep dating, but they couldn't be in a relationship.

Just thinking about it makes me feel so tired of living.

...

...

"Momo-san~ Are you feeling energetic today?"

Jin Can walked out of the recording studio and went to the cafeteria, where he saw Hirai Momo with ice cubes in her mouth.

Hirai Momo pouted, "Energy!"

"Chan-san, are you feeling energetic today?"

"Energy..." Jin Can sat down with his plate in hand.

Sana Minato and Mina Mei listened to the extraordinary conversation between the two as usual.

Mina is usually quite quiet, but Sana is acting very strangely, eating rice in a serious manner.

Eating the salad on my plate...

"Did someone bully you?"

Jin Can nudged Minatozaki Sana's foot under the table and asked a question.

Sana Minatozaki shook her head, "Annie~"

Her chubby little face was covered in salad dressing as she sighed.

"..."

Jin Can put down his chopsticks. The person opposite him looked half-dead, which greatly affected his appetite.

It's not as good as Hirai Momo.

At least when he was gnawing on a chicken leg, his eyes lit up with desire, which made people's mouths water.

Unable to resist the craving, Hirai Tomoko asked Kim Chan to get a pig's trotter in his name so he could sneak a bite.

During the strict weight management period, the trainees were not so well-behaved; instead, they used their unique skills to outwit and outmaneuver the company.

"She's worried about SIXTEEN." Mina finished eating, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and turned to look at Kim Chan.

Jin Can handed over a banana, saying, "I'll cheer you on."

"Will cheering them on lead to their debut?" Minatozaki Sana was being a little sentimental at this moment.

Kim Chan countered, "Will you be happy just because you've debuted?"

This left the three members of the Sakura Line speechless.

Then, the four of them, each with a banana in hand, split up in different practice rooms…

...

In the last few days of the month, Jin Can could clearly feel that the atmosphere of competition and rivalry within the department had intensified.

At midnight, the lights in the practice rooms of the company were still on...

Park Jin-young often went to inspect the area, his face stern, delivering a barrage of criticisms, pep talks, and empty promises—all in one go.

3 month 1 day.

Jin Can got up early, took a shower, and then headed to the set of "The Producers".
