People on the Peninsula: I Became a Lucky Koi

The next day, July 15th.

Jin Can arrived at the company rubbing his hangover head. He didn't rush to the recording studio to find Park Jin-young to finalize the sound of "Personalized Sniper".

First of all, this guy is busy right now.

Today, the company announced the list of trainees who will participate in "SIXTEEN".

Some trainees who were supposed to be taking academic classes at Hanlin Arts High School also skipped classes and came over.

However, among all the female trainees, the one with the highest academic qualifications is actually Lim Na-yeon, who was admitted to the Department of Theater and Film at Konkuk University last year, but has been on leave of absence ever since.

The rest are high school students or junior high school students.

Either someone who has taken a leave of absence...

Jin Can is curious: Will there be idols with only an elementary school education in the future?

Illiterate idol?

"Sigh~"

Yoo Jeong-yeon, who is usually very reliable, suddenly seemed a little anxious.

The reason is still the previous suspension of training due to failing the weight requirement; the road to debut has been truly arduous…

Lim Nayeon really wanted to comfort Yoo Jeongyeon, but then she remembered that when she left home this morning, she didn't know where she was walking when some rude person spat out chewing gum and stuck it on the sole of her shoe.

This made her feel like her bad luck had returned...

I was really scared by the series of bad luck that happened recently.

Park Ji-hyo, who was standing to the side, was also feeling bad.

After her miscarriage, 6MIX experienced stress-induced weight gain. Due to a break from training, emotional eating habits, and lack of exercise, she gained weight, her cheeks became fuller, and her jawline became less defined.

Despite having been cramming and frantically trying to lose weight in the last few days.

But when Park Jihyo looked at herself in the mirror, she still looked a bit bulky.

Jin Can pushed open the door to the practice room, intending to find Mina and the other two.

Because Hirai Momo had already opened her mouth, "Chan-san, are you energetic today?"

But then Nayeon's voice suddenly came through: "Chan."

"What?" Jin Can stopped in his tracks, his eyes filled with curiosity.

Lim Nayeon blinked her bright, watery eyes, "Come on, please."

They look completely innocent.

Jin Can walked over and squatted down beside the small group of Yu Dingyan and the other two. "What?"

"I heard from Sana that you're debuting?" Lim Nayeon grinned, showing her rabbit teeth, trying to make conversation.

Actually, some time ago, Jin Can fooled himself by saying that he was sharing his good luck with himself.

She didn't really take it to heart...

See, I still had bad luck today, didn't I?

But Lin Na-yeon had been thinking deeply all morning, and she vaguely realized something.

It seems that getting close to Jin Chan brings good luck?

Previously, when I was at my lowest point, whenever I encountered Jin Can, my luck would turn around and I would be able to dispel my bad luck.

Therefore, Lim Nayeon wanted to verify her guess.

"It's still early."

"Summer is here..." With Sana Minato's big mouth, the fact that Kim Chan was about to debut made his status as a royal in the company even higher and more secure.

Unlike the male trainee department.

He works in an all-female department and doesn't have direct competition with these girls. They don't really care, but envy and jealousy are inevitable, which has caused him to receive fewer love letters lately.

It's such a cliché pursuit tactic: love letters...

Lim Nayeon considered for a moment: "Summer?"

"They probably debuted even earlier than us..."

Yoo Jeongyeon and Park Jihyo listened with curiosity.

Park Ji-hyo deeply felt that comparing herself to others was a recipe for misery, considering that she had been training at the company for ten years.

"So from now on, Noona will have to call me 'senpai'..." Kim Chan sat cross-legged next to Lim Nayeon and teased her with a smile.

He then looked at Lim Nayeon, Yoo Jeongyeon, and Park Jihyo.

I've seen him a few times in the past few days, but I haven't really had a good look at him.

At first glance, apart from Lim Nayeon who was in better shape, the other two... Yoo Jeongyeon looked a little uncomfortable, her eyes darting around, and she seemed nervous.

Park Ji-hyo is so muscular that she doesn't photograph well.

Nayeon didn't argue with the joke. She pursed her bunny teeth and hesitantly asked, "Chan, could you sit next to me later?"

"Okay." Jin Can didn't quite understand what trick she was up to, but he still agreed.

Be confident!

"...How can someone debut with such a gloomy face?"

He comforted Yoo Jeong-yeon and Park Ji-hyo.

That bewildered and terrified expression ruined anyone's mood.

Nayeon glanced at his profile and chuckled, "Chan, why don't you comfort me too?"

"My bad luck is starting again..."

She quietly shared her experience of stepping on a disgusting piece of chewing gum that morning.

Jin Can was initially taken aback.

The side effects of the entry have expired, but it sounds like it's just chewing gum.

Jin Can believes that it's more of a psychological effect on Lim Nayeon, a subconscious one.

"You always walk with your head held high, never looking where you're going..." Jin Can said, speechlessly offering his analysis.

This woman walks around the company with an air of superiority, as if she's the most important person in the world.

Despite being unusually timid...

What was meant as a sarcastic remark actually pleased Lim Nayeon: "You seem to care about me and understand me so well?"

Jin Can was speechless: "..."

Yoo Jeongyeon and Park Jihyo's faces twitched slightly.

"Hehe~ Just kidding." Lim Nayeon is good at saving face; she's quite shameless.

"..."

Soon, Park Jin-young led several of the company's assessment instructors into the practice room.

He held a list of trainees who would be participating in SIXTEE in his hand... The atmosphere in the entire practice room suddenly became quiet.

Jin Can noticed that many people were holding their breath.

Park Jin-young gave Kim Chan a strange look, thinking about the trending topic he had just seen.

"Now I announce—"

"The list of participants for SIXTEEN." Park Jin-young cleared his throat, his expression serious.

...

...

at the same time.

A piece of gossip quickly climbed to the top of the trending search lists on Korean websites Naver, Daum, and Nate.

#Wow…Taeyeon secretly meets a mysterious man at a bar in Hongdae#

#Byun Baekhyun wearing a green hat#

A series of related terms have consistently occupied the top three spots on the trending searches, and the buzz has spread rapidly.

If you single out the hashtag #ByunBaekhyunWearingAGreenHat#, how could it not explode in popularity?

[Last night, Kim Tae-yeon, a member of Girls' Generation's TTS subunit who is currently in a public relationship with EXO's Baekhyun, was spotted at Aura, a well-known upscale bar in Hongdae.]

[A slightly tipsy Kim Tae-yeon leans loosely against a strange young man, their actions intimate and ambiguous.]

[Notably, Girls' Generation's maknae Seohyun was standing in a corner not far away, frequently glancing around, seemingly "keeping watch" for the two. This suggests a possible change in Taeyeon and Baekhyun's relationship...]
