People on the Peninsula: I Became a Lucky Koi

In May, after Big Bang released the music videos and albums for their double title tracks "LOSER" and "BAE BAE" from the album "M", the first episode of "SIXTEEN" was released on M-net on the 5th.

Jin Can didn't have time to watch his friends' performances. Recently, the atmosphere among the 16 trainees has become increasingly tense.

The tension was escalating, even though everyone shared a practice room and slept in the same dormitory...

In the filming studio in Seocho-gu.

A noisy commotion rose and fell as about twenty staff members were filming or making on-site adjustments from different positions.

The noise from the 16 girls, including Nayeon, Sana, and Chaeyoung, was very loud, like a vegetable market.

The sharp-tongued guest photographer, Zhao Shanxi, looked helplessly at the children in front of him.

Just as she was about to speak and ask everyone to quiet down.

Jin Can strode into the photography studio.

Somi, who had been chattering away just moments before, suddenly fell silent.

She looked at Jin Can, who had just arrived, her eyes filled with surprise... A navy blue cowboy hat, a well-tailored white T-shirt, and khaki trousers—a very simple outfit without any logos, but the smiling face he wore when visiting Zhao Shanxi was the best fashion item.

Jeon Somi could tell that the royal brother was simply dressed plainly, and that the cut and fabric of his usual casual clothes were very high-end.

"Anhin Haseyo~"

Jin Can greeted Zhao Shanxi with a smile.

After seeing the group of 16 girls tearing each other apart, he guessed right!

Sure enough, the incredibly unintentional glimpse of his face that Park Jin-young had mentioned was right here in this window…

Ouch.

"You're even more dazzling than in the photos, Kim Chan-ssi."

Zhao Shanxi didn't hold back her praise, feeling that JYP had really struck gold this time.

Let's take a great album cover together.

She said something.

"Okay." Jin Can nodded with a smile.

After exchanging pleasantries, he turned to look at Lim Nayeon and the others who were standing in a row against the wall, but he didn't have time to take a closer look.

At first glance, their outfits are really... eye-opening!

However, Jin Can was a little puzzled. Why was the usually boisterous person waiting for someone speechless when he saw him today?

Lim Na-yeon wanted to be bold, but she couldn't let go of it.

Because in his line of sight, besides Yoon Sung-hyun, there were four other men standing next to Kim Chan, all dressed in sharp shirts, each over 185cm tall.

Professional bodyguards…

This was the first time anyone had seen Jin Can's style outside the company.

"bodyguard?"

Yu Dingyan stammered, her mouth twisted.

Jin Can glanced at her thuggish hairstyle: "The hairstyle is quite unique."

"Yes, bodyguard."

He turned around and glanced at the person; it was arranged by his elder brother.

There are quite a few haters who are against him, but for someone like him, a cornerstone of the Great Cold Nation, bodyguards are just a drop in the ocean.

Lim Nayeon leaned closer: "Can you guess the styles of our two groups?"

"Retro style." Jin Can said confidently, then glanced at the major group on Minatozaki Sana's side: "Dark vampire style."

Yesterday, when they were shopping for cheap clothes in Dongdaemun, Hirai Momo shared this story with her.

Look, I still have the group photo Momo sent me yesterday on my phone…

It has a very rural feel to it…

We chatted for a while.

The album cover shoot has begun, but the 16-piece set is the first to be torn.

At Zhao Shanxi's suggestion, this is the essence of "shooting in the background": no matter how long they film, Jin Chan's shots will be preserved to a great extent.

"Cheong-ong!"

"Change your pose! Why is your expression so stiff?"

Zhao Shanxi stood in front of the camera with her hands on her hips, offering a sarcastic comment: "Everyone else took great photos, but yours and Minying's are just..."

A whole bunch of them.

Li Cailing secretly wiped away her tears.

JYP's Taeyang handed over a tissue, saying, "The important thing in taking photos isn't the pose, but being natural enough."

Jin Can observed that her pose and expression were very stiff.

"Did you hear that, Chaeryeong?" Zhao Shanxi asked.

...

During a break in filming.

Yoo Jeongyeon and Chou Tzuyu weren't idle either; she was pulled aside by the VJ and started being interviewed.

VJ used company anecdotes, such as the "JYP Suns" galaxy guards incident, to create some imagery for Kim Chan.

It also showcases the mutual help, unity, and friendship among the children within the company…

"Jeongyeon, I heard you guys often leave work together with Kim Chan-ssi?" VJ.

Yoo Jeong-yeon covered her mouth and nodded with amusement: "Yes."

"Because we're friends, of course I should stand up for him when he's in trouble."

Actually, Chou Tzu-yu really wanted to complain about the royal family members' weakness and their arrogant attitude, but she would save face for them.

Moreover, her Korean language skills are beyond reproach.

All I could do was keep smiling...

"Is Tzuyu also a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy?" the VJ asked her.

Fearing she wouldn't understand, Yu Dingyan repeated herself at a slower pace.

Chou Tzu-yu grinned, showing off her bright white teeth, and raised her arm to display her biceps: "I'm very strong!"

The interview was conducted very quickly.

On set, Jo Sun-hee kept saying one thing and another: "Jihyo, I don't know why you were hiding from the camera?"

"Step forward!"

"Let's try a different pose."

The scene was chaotic and disorderly.

During the major group's photoshoot, Jin Can glanced at the four people standing beside him: Zhou Ziyu wearing a little red hat, Yu Zhengyan shaking her head, and Mina, with her innocent look and two pigtails...

Not to mention there's also Lim Na-yeon with her twin ponytails who always looks at people with a sidelong glance; it's practically a gang of thugs.

"Hello!"

"...Aren't you filming?"

Jin Can nudged Yu Dingyan's shoulder, "Control your expression."

He reminded him.

What's with that look in his eyes...?

Before anyone could answer.

Zhao Shanxi, who was in front of the camera, suddenly turned her head: "Jin Chan-xi, you go first."

"Let these kids see what the standard really is."

"Alas." Jin Can glanced at the awkward girls in the major group on stage and shrugged helplessly.

Sana Minatozaki, Dahyun Kim, and the others didn't feel awkward for long.

They were also very curious to see how well the royal brother was doing, since they had all spent time together in the practice room before.

Somi nudged Son Chaeyoung quietly: "Chaeyoung, what do you think of Kim Chan oppa?"

"Very good," Son Chae-young replied earnestly.

Then, she glanced at her friend. Could this kid have a crush on Kim Chan oppa?

"ah?!"

"You haven't fallen for someone else, have you...?"

Son Chae-young suddenly realized what was happening.

Somi used to have a crush on her younger brother. It all started when she saw his graduation photo and he kept pestering her to introduce them. However, last year, at the JYP Family Showcase, during the trainee family open day, they met once.

But she was so nervous that all she could do was bow and say hello.

"That's in the past..." Jeon Somi waved her hand, her eyes fixed on Kim Chan. "People, you know, there will always come a day when they suddenly realize that their past crushes were just childish behavior."

"Kim Chan oppa is really good in every way."

"Better than my brother?" Son Chaeyoung grinned, showing her little tiger teeth, somewhat unconvinced.

Oppa is great, but the person he can be compared to is his younger brother…

Jeon Somi speaks frankly: "Looks, height, personality, figure, education... or older."

She had never seen her royal brother argue or quarrel with anyone at the company.

Even Bambam, who has a crush on Nayeon unnie, gets along very well with the royal brother…

Son Chaeyoung wanted to retort, but when she looked up at Kim Chan, who was smiling naturally at the camera, flashes went off one after another.

And that sharp-tongued senior, Zhao Shanxi, has completely lost her cold demeanor.

She smiled warmly, searching for the perfect angle to take the picture, as if she had met her muse…

"You can't compare them like that..." Son Chaeyoung thought for a while, and finally said in a sigh, "Anyway, don't compare my brother with Kim Chan oppa."

Jeon Somi noticed that Son Chaeyoung was a little unhappy, and quickly explained, "Please!"

"I only met your brother once last year on Family Day, and we didn't even exchange a few words. But you've spent so much time with Kim Chan oppa. Don't you know what kind of person he is?"

Zhao Shanxi put away her camera and smiled, "That's fine, Jin Chan-xi!"

"Inside."

Jin Can put down his guitar prop and wanted to see the finished product.

But Zhao Shanxi was already surrounded by Hirai Momo, Mei Mina, and others...

"Oh my!"

"It's so beautiful..." Mina exclaimed softly, giving Kim Chan a thumbs up.

Jeon Somi immediately ran to Kim Chan's side, handing him a bottle of mineral water. "Oppa, have some water and rest for a bit?"

"Kamsammida." Jin Can took the water and laughed.

Not far away, Lim Nayeon, who had managed to get a banana from Hirai Momo through persistent coaxing, froze on the spot when she saw this scene.

Her lips twitched unconsciously.

"..."

Twenty minutes later, the recording of the group's album cover was completed.

Next is the individual photoshoot, where, according to the rules, they can choose some props from in front of them.

Lim Nayeon originally wanted to choose ice cream, but her dark eyes spotted Kim Chan-shi, who was about to leave, not far away.

She chose basketball.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Lim Nayeon dribbled the basketball with one hand, her movements clumsy, as she slowly crept towards Kim Chan.

Yoo Jeongyeon, who was watching Park Jihyo's solo photoshoot, glanced at her friend in surprise and said speechlessly, "Unnie!"

"Don't embarrass yourself anymore..."

Lim Na-yeon remained silent, holding a basketball as she stood in Jin Can's inevitable path.

When Jin Chan put on his shoulder bag and turned around to look at him...

With relaxed hands, Lim Na-yeon spun the basketball in the air, then her slender hands held the ball firmly as she executed a crab-like backward jump shot.

Her twin ponytails swayed back and forth...

As the basketball flew towards Jin Can, Lin Nalian slightly raised her rabbit teeth.

"Ah, tsk tsk."

Unable to bear watching, Yoo Jeongyeon hid behind Chou Tzu-yu.

"Smack."

Jin Can reached out and caught the basketball steadily with one hand.

He caught the ball with one hand, and looked at Lim Nayeon in a daze...

But Jin Can subconsciously pushed the basketball to the ground, and with his long, well-proportioned legs, he easily stepped over it, and the basketball ended up in his right hand.

The two opposing forces seemed to collide slightly in the air…

"Mia ne ah, Chan!" Lim Nayeon saw Kim Chan catch the basketball and puffed out her cheeks, showing her bunny teeth. "I accidentally made a mistake~"

"Kenchana~" Kim Chan gently tossed the ball to Lim Nayeon, "Let's go, bye-bye~"

He had just turned around.

After finishing the photoshoot, Hirai Momo suddenly ran over. "Chan-san, are you energetic today?"

"Very energetic!"

Seeing Hirai Momo's pretty apple cheeks, Jin Can felt relieved.

Everyone needs to be energetic!

He then looked at Sana Minatozaki, "And you, Sana-san?"

"Genki!" Sana Minatozaki sometimes wanted to shout "Genki!" with these two lunatics, but other times she was too lazy to pay attention to them.

I'm in a great mood today!

Because I took some beautiful photos…

Upon hearing the conversation between Kim Chan and Hirai Momo, Mina immediately covered her eyes with her hands, ashamed and wanting to run away.

Hirai Momo slammed on the brakes and stopped in front of Mina. She turned to look at Kim Chan.

"Mina-san, are you energetic today?" Kim Chan looked at Mina's bright red face, her toes digging into the ground as if she were ashamed.

Mina reluctantly lowered her hands from her face, weakly muttering, "Very... energetic..."

"Speak louder!"

Jin Can suppressed a laugh.

"An-dui~" Mina hugged the banana and left, leaving him with a pigtail-like back view.

...

On the 7th, BTS won their first number one spot on M! Countdown. In the following days, they won number one on Music Bank, Show! Music Core, Inkigayo, and M! Countdown.

There are five in total.

This obscure boy band has officially entered the ranks of top-tier boy bands.

...

Kim Tae-yeon was sitting in the van when she suddenly received a Kakao message from Kim Chan: "..."
