People on the Peninsula: I Became a Lucky Koi

Jin Can used to slack off at the company, but his debut in the summer is approaching.

So, within a limited time, we must make the greatest effort, which is why the intensity of this dance class is quite high.

I spent nearly two hours in the dance studio.

Jin Can could hear Hirai Momo's encouraging voice all the time:

"Chansang!"

"Well done..."

"Great!"

Among all the female trainees at JYP Entertainment, this is why Kim Chan likes to be friends with Momo Hirai the most.

Her praise could inspire many people; the remaining members of the 16-member group gradually began to cheer and applaud for JYP's Taeyang.

"Phew..." Jin Can let out a long breath and lay down on the floor to rest.

Suddenly, a face entered his view as he looked up at the ceiling.

"What's wrong?"

Jin Can asked, "It's Son Chae-young."

She had shoulder-length short hair and was grinning with a small tiger tooth on her face.

"I'd like to ask Kim Chan oppa for some advice..." Son Chaeyoung explained her purpose.

She lay down on the floor, turning slightly to face Jin Can.

This guy is just too tall…

I felt like a tiny water bottle next to him, which was incredibly frustrating.

Jin Can asked curiously, "What do you want to ask?"

"I heard from them that Oppa has already composed his own songs?" Son Chaeyoung asked cautiously. "All the songs on his debut album were self-produced."

Jin Can responded with a "Mm".

"Do you want to learn?"

Son Chae-young nodded quickly: "I'm studying Applied Music in high school now, but the teachers explain it too superficially in class."

"Is it rough?" Jin Can thought for a moment. The practical music course at Hanlin Arts High School mainly teaches the basics.

For example, learning basic piano/keyboard skills is almost essential, laying the foundation for future songwriting and chord progressions...

Son Chae-young added, "I mainly focus on vocal music."

"Aren't we about to start recording 'SIXTEEN'? I'd like to rearrange some hip-hop songs, change the lyrics, and then perform them."

"Do you know what the first task is?" Jin Can raised an eyebrow and chuckled.

He also asked Park Jin-young about it today, but the old uncle didn't tell him. He claimed it was to avoid suspicion.

Son Chae-young shook her head: "I don't know."

"But the essence remains the same: in talent shows, showcasing talent is a very important part."

She chuckled mischievously, her bright, smiling eyes hiding ambition.

Jin Can became interested and sat up on the floor: "What do you want to know?"

"Arrangement." Son Chaeyoung also perked up, explaining enthusiastically, "I want to play hip-hop, but I don't know much about arrangement, and buying beats is just too expensive..."

Jin Can smiled and analyzed for her: "There are two fastest ways to obtain hip-hop music arrangements."

"How so?" Son Chaeyoung asked, her hands clasped around her legs as she listened intently.

"1. Learning. The arrangement of hip-hop music is actually not that complicated..." Jin Can stopped there.

Son Chae-young, a master of comedic timing, chimed in: "What about number 2?"

"...Is there a quick way?"

"Of course." Jin Can nodded, making a joke but also answering very honestly: "Bro, you need to learn to use a bit more of a street-smart approach."

Son Chae-young paused for a moment: "A little bit on the street?"

But then, realizing what she had done, she clutched her stomach and burst into laughter.

"I can't do it."

She shook her head.

There's nothing new under the sun; plagiarism, theft, and stealing are common occurrences in rap music circles around the world.

On the street!

"How about this, if you really need it, you can come to me then." Jin Can thought for a moment, "I can revise the arrangement for you, no problem."

Son Chae-young: "Qinjia?"

Jin Can nodded.

Son Chae-young suddenly stood up, ran to her phone pouch, and took out her phone.

She darted back like a whirlwind: "Shall we exchange contact information?"

The two have known each other for a long time.

They often chatted during practice, but in Son Chae-young's opinion, whenever she got a little closer to the royal brother, he would mysteriously disappear.

He's often away from the office, and this constant, intermittent communication is frustrating; the relationship just comes to a standstill...

"OK." Jin Can took out his phone, and the two exchanged contact information: "Just call me when the time comes."

Son Chaeyoung patted her small frame casually and muttered, "I won't hold back!"

...

...

A week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Miss A's music show journey remains at number 1, while EXO has secured number 1 again.

On April 15th, just as EXO was enjoying immense popularity, Singles Magazine's official website and social media accounts simultaneously released a pictorial featuring Kim Chan and Byun Baekhyun, along with individual interviews.

In the pictorial, the two looked refreshingly summery, but their extremely unnatural interaction quickly attracted attention.

In particular, Kim Chan's incredibly relaxed and sophisticated camera presence, and Byun Baekhyun's slightly strained performance, created a subtle contrast under the professional lens.

Almost simultaneously, SM Entertainment's marketing machine began to operate.

The press release clearly stated its direction, focusing on "a refreshing brotherhood" and "friendly cooperation between seniors and juniors".

They also intentionally downplayed the "Kim Tae-yeon and Kim Chan's twilight romance" incident as "ordinary senior-junior interactions" in an attempt to defuse the situation.

Several entertainment forums closely associated with SM Entertainment have begun to feature discussion threads about the "Chanbaek" pairing, attempting to use the popularity of the "male-male pairing" to overshadow and divert attention from the "cuckold" topic.

Lee Soo-man's plan was very shrewd.

By collaborating, they can clarify the rumors, reshape the images of Byun Baekhyun and Kim Tae-yeon, and resolve misunderstandings, achieving a "win-win-win" situation.

But Jin Can's fighting style was very simple: kick the cripple's good leg hard.

[On the K-pop stage, who are you most looking forward to?]

In the video interview, the original black light-absorbing velvet background was photoshopped to be red. Byun Baekhyun's words of support for Kim Chan were also turned into a GIF.

[Idol Baekhyun with green eyes]

A fan who was already unhappy about Byun Baekhyun and Kim Tae-yeon's relationship used photo editing software to change Byun Baekhyun's eyes in a pictorial to a fluorescent green, and added a green knitted hat to his head, along with the text "Awoo~".

[Not an idol, but a mung bean - Byun Baekhyun]

This is the most deadly and widely spread meme. Byun Baekhyun's face was photoshopped onto a giant mung bean, subtly referencing his marketing tagline of "born idol".

These memes spread like wildfire, quickly going viral on Korean online forums.

Especially for those who already harbored ill will towards EXO and Byun Baekhyun, as well as those who were simply looking for amusement, public opinion completely took a turn for the worse.

Pann Hot Posts | Rising in Real Time:

[To be honest, looking at Singles' pictorial, Kim Chan looks like a big, saucy chicken, right? Byun Baekhyun looks like a little follower next to him, or rather... a little follower with a green hat on his head lol~]

[Aigoo~ Our Baekhyun is such a green energy master~ He got dumped by Noona at a nightclub, and was completely overshadowed by his younger brother in a photoshoot. His life is truly green with envy.]

[#GreenBeanIdolLegend, let's use both tags! History will remember this day: an idol who unified the concept of 'green' with his face and charisma has been born!]

[I'm speechless! SM Entertainment is now using red and green marketing? The world's first green!]

It dominated the trending topics.

Most netizens were still mainly using memes, but just then...

A Mercedes-Benz slowly pulled up in front of the new building of KBS in Yeouido.

Before the car door even opened, Byun Baekhyun's fans, who had been waiting for a long time to oppose Kim Chan, instantly erupted like sharks smelling blood!

I finally recognized my sister-in-law's license plate number after waiting anxiously!

"It's Kim Tae-yeon's car!"

"Damn! She actually dared to come!"

The crowd erupted in furious screams.

They crowded behind the police line, craning their necks, their eyes bulging with hatred.

The car door opened.

Tiffany and Seohyun were the first to get off the bus. Both of them had serious expressions and quickly scanned their surroundings.

Next up was Yoona. She subconsciously pursed her lips, but still remained calm.

Finally, surrounded by several people, Kim Tae-yeon lowered her head and quickly got out of the car.

Just as her figure was completely exposed to the air…

"Kim Tae-yeon, you traitor! You betrayer!"

"Did you see Baekhyun oppa wiping away his tears? With the wound you gave him!"

"Bitch!"

"Go to hell... Auntie Tae! Your whole life has been nothing but creating wounds for Oppa, you're a scumbag woman!"

"Get dumped, you're finished, just disappear!"

Screams, roars, curses, and whistles rose and fell.

The fans in the front row used all their strength to smash the plastic water bottles, crushed coffee cups, and small packs of tissues that they had originally intended to throw at Kim Tae-yeon.

Kim Chan chatting with Lee Ji-eun in the lobby of the new KBS building.

I heard a noise outside…

"Girls' Generation is here." Lee Ji-eun looked at the antis outside the door in shock.

Jin Can glanced at the short-statured leader of Girls' Generation, who was surrounded by his manager and bodyguards.

She kept her head down the whole time, and large sunglasses covered most of her face, making it impossible to see her expression...

Give me the umbrella.

Jin Can suddenly spoke.

IU's manager paused for a moment, then instinctively looked at her artist.

Lee Ji-eun glanced sideways at Kim Chan and asked, "What do you want to do?"

The agent handed over the umbrella.

Jin Can didn't answer. He took the black umbrella, opened it, and walked out of the building.

Yoon Sung-hyun quickly followed.

The glass door rotates.

Jin Can's tall figure, holding a striking pure black umbrella, suddenly appeared in front of the frenzied anti-fans and countless flashing cameras.

The commotion outside the door fell silent for two seconds.

Then came even more offensive and abusive language!

"Aish! It's Kim Chan! That trainee!"

"Jin Chan has come out too!"

"So, that adulterous couple got together, huh?!"

"KimChan! You and that Thai woman are a match made in heaven, you two are such a shameless couple!"

Jin Can seemed oblivious to all of this and calmly struck a pose.

Baekhyun oppa, I'll only teach you once.

"..."

The camera flashed wildly, and curses filled the air.

With his tall and straight figure, Jin Can walked towards Kim Tae-yeon, tilting his umbrella slightly to block some of the thrown cans and coffee cups.

"Oh my god!" Im Yoona was the first to see Kim Chan clearly, her eyes widening in astonishment. "Why is he out here?"

The exclamation startled Hwang Mi-young and Seo Hyun, who stared in astonishment at Kim Chan's approaching figure.

At the very center of the storm, Kim Tae-yeon seemed to sense something.

She raised her head somewhat stiffly.

The large sunglasses still covered his eyes, but the gaze behind the lenses met Jin Can's smiling eyes and brows.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Kim Tae-yeon stared at him blankly, her pupils slightly contracting: "Go back now!"

[Younger Man Radar] is alarming incessantly!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Beep! Beep! Beep!

"Hurry up and go." Kim Chan looked speechlessly at the four TTS members who were standing there in a daze.

He just wanted to come out and greet them; after all, these anti-fans had gone too far, and if he didn't come out, he would be letting them down.

Kim Tae-yeon and the others then realized what was happening and quickened their pace.

Lin Yoona's eyes were fixed on Jin Can's face as the group brushed past each other.

"Nishiba!"

"..."

Amidst a deluge of insults and flashing lights.

Jin Can, holding an umbrella, smiled and raised his right hand slowly, giving the antis an international gesture.
