People on the Peninsula: I Became a Lucky Koi

Day 1 after booting up.

When Jin Can arrived at the film set, he was surrounded by gossipy staff, mainly because his rumors with Baekhyun and Kim Tae-yeon were quite hot.

With the recent revelation of Kim Chan's trainee status, the news of his participation in the filming of "The Producers" has become a hot topic in the local market again, as the lead actors have been officially announced. As a result, there are now some die-hard fans of Byun Baekhyun waiting outside the film set.

Cody arranged the costumes, makeup, and hair for Jin Can according to the screenwriter's requirements.

She brushed the stray hairs from her golden forehead back up and then let them fall: "I should let them fall down... otherwise, such a handsome face will look too cold."

Park Ji-eun nodded, "Letting go makes you look a bit more naive."

"..."

Jin Can said he would not comment on this, and that was fine with him.

Lee Ji-eun tilted her head, waiting for the stylist to do her makeup, while smiling at Kim Chan.

The script clutched in my hand.

Over the past few days, Park Ji-eun has made several changes, such as to the character of the male lead, Baek Seung-chan.

It's not much different from the original, but the age and character design have been slightly refined.

...

11:00 AM, Yeouido.

At the new KBS building, camera tracks have been laid out, and reflectors and softboxes have been adjusted to the optimal angles.

The cluttered yet realistic office is filled with stacks of documents, coffee, and ratings charts, all contributing to a bustling workplace ecosystem—the Variety Show Bureau office.

Director Pyo Min-soo, holding a walkie-talkie, shouts: "Action!"

At the center of the lens is gold.

He was wearing a black suit with a simple white shirt underneath, no tie, and his hair was styled rather casually.

Jin Can was gathering his emotions, holding a folder with various colored labels in his hand, his posture somewhat unnaturally stiff.

He seemed to subconsciously ignore the camera position a few meters away.

Golden eyes swept quickly across the surrounding office environment, the busy colleagues, and the constantly ringing phone.

And across from me, my female colleague was sitting with her legs crossed, touching up her lipstick in front of a small mirror…

This is Baek Seung-chan.

The new PD at KBS Variety Department is on his first day at work, full of youthful enthusiasm and undisguised awkwardness and naivety.

"..."

"Cut!"

Pyo Min-soo's voice rang out.

He watched the replay twice and said with satisfaction, "This take is perfect!"

"You're in great shape, Kim Chan-ssi! Keep it up..."

A soft, relaxed exhale echoed across the set, and the crew immediately began preparing for the next scene.

"You acted quite well." Lee Ji-eun said, holding the script, somewhat surprised.

She had originally planned to give this younger man some acting advice, but it seems that it's not necessary for now.

Jin Can took a sip of coffee and chuckled, "It's alright~"

The two sat on the sofa, each memorizing their lines for the next scene.

Lee Ji-eun lowered her voice and gossiped, "About you, Kim Tae-yeon, and Byun Baek-hyun?"

"They're just trying to ride my coattails..." Jin Can said matter-of-factly.

In the past two days, the public opinion surrounding the love-hate relationship between the three has calmed down a bit, but the discussions are not as intense as they were in the previous two days.

Lee Ji-eun looked bewildered: "Moragu?"

She wanted to comfort the younger man, but she never expected him to be so contrary to the natural order.

"Are Kim Tae-yeon and Byun Baek-hyun trying to ride your coattails...?"

Her slightly parted lips and questioning expression made Jin Can glance at her again.

After comparing Momo and Bae Suzy, it's clear at a glance who is better.

Jin Can retorted, "Do you think I'm trying to ride on their coattails?"

Lee Ji-eun covered her mouth and chuckled, "Okay, okay!"

I laughed for a while.

She cleared her throat and said seriously, "Chan, I know that your story with Kim Tae-yeon was taken out of context by unscrupulous media."

"But as someone who's been through it, I'm telling you that at this stage, you should prioritize your career..."

Lee Ji-eun's face was full of earnestness.

"Really?" Jin Can pretended to be thinking.

Lee Ji-eun continued, "Look, I actually think all the suitors around you are bad ones."

"For example, Suzy, before you met her, she was dating Lee Min-ho. Now, as for Kim Tae-yeon, she's dating Byun Baek-hyun..."

His serious and methodical manner really gives him the air of a relationship guru.

"And then?" Jin Can put down the script, smiling and listening attentively.

Lee Ji-eun smiled, revealing shallow dimples on her cheeks: "When choosing a daughter-in-law, you need to keep your eyes open."

As she spoke, she pretended to rub her eyes...

Jin Can imitated her action and rubbed his eyes.

Lee Ji-eun smiled sweetly and said, "Alright, now that you've opened your eyes wide, who is it in your eyes?"

Jin Can hesitated for a moment, then, following her guidance, opened his eyes and said, "It's Nuna."

After saying that, he pursed his lips and picked up the script.

"Oh my~" Lee Ji-eun's youthful face lit up with a smile, "What are you saying, Chan!"

"Weren't you in contact with Suzy...?"

"Isn't that what Nuna wants to hear?" Jin Can took the script and gave a fake smile.

Lee Ji-eun didn't blush at all. She sank into the sofa, tilted her head, and raised her eyebrows: "Anyway..."

"If Chan is going to date, he should look for... well... like Noona, a girl with a clean and pure social circle."

She was just using an analogy.

Jin Can understood her analogy and chuckled, "Alas~"

"Been taught a lesson."

He had just picked up the script, blocking each other's view.

IU's manager, Bae Jong-han, quickly walked over and chuckled, "Ji-eun, Jang Ki-ha sent a support truck."

Lee Ji-eun's smile froze.

In his line of sight, Jin Can slowly put down the script, revealing a pair of smiling eyes, and asked, "Brother Zhong Han, is that Zhang Jihe from that indie band?"

"Yes." Pei Zhonghan nodded.

Kim Chan chuckled: "Noona, it seems you're also in contact with Jang Ki-ha, right?"

You also mentioned Bae Suzy and Kim Tae-yeon?

"Friend." Lee Ji-eun sensed his sarcasm and glared at him.

Then she added, "Let's go, Noona will treat you to coffee downstairs..."

"Kamsammida!" Kim Chan nodded his thanks, put down his script, and got up to go downstairs with Lee Ji-eun.

But then Yoon Sung-hyun came running over.

His expression was one of curiosity and excitement: "Chan, there's a support truck."

"A support truck?" Kim Chan asked, somewhat surprised. "Was it sent by Suzy's noona?"

"no."

"Who is that?"

"Kim Tae-yeon!"

"Kim Tae-yeon?" Kim Chan was taken aback, genuinely not expecting it.

But upon closer reflection, I realized that I had been somewhat dismissive of him that night after he got drunk.

It is probably because of this attitude that Kim Tae-yeon felt even more guilty, and sending a support truck is considered a way to express support to friends in the Korean entertainment industry.

Lee Ji-eun stopped in her tracks, frowning slightly: "Isn't her sending a support truck just making things worse?"

The controversy surrounding Kim Chan's alleged involvement in the Thai-Baek relationship has only just begun to subside.

This woman sent another support truck over. You should know that the filming location is at the KBS venue, where all kinds of people come and go every day, and the flow of people is extremely large.

The news spreads easily... and there are quite a few of Jin Chan's anti-fans downstairs!

"He's expressing his apology," Jin Can chuckled. "Go down and take a look."
