Peninsula: My pet is my idol

After leaving Tang Xin's hospital room, IVE and his group.

The person in charge, Ahn Yoo-jin, and her female assistant walked in front.

Shuanghua Honggun and Jin Asong walked behind.

Sister Zhang put her arm around Jin Asong's shoulder and, talking to the latter who was walking with his head down in a sullen mood, said in a low voice:

"Ji-won! Kim Ji-won! Hey! Can't you be a little tougher? You're like a coward!"

When our girl group comes out to conquer new territory, what's the most important thing? It's being ruthless!

Hey, you know, when I was 14 and just started out in this business, I went toe-to-toe with the "Kagoshima boss" from Japan and I even won!

I owe my success to three things: being ruthless, having many sisters, and having connections!

Do you want to be the boss of Jeju Island? Hmm?

Just say what you want to say! We're sisters, I support you in running for office!

Lin Yoona is just a client of Tang Xin. She looks so old now. She's no longer in Girls' Generation, but in the auntie era.

What are you afraid of her doing?

We sisters are ambitious; we'll make money together and eat together.

So Yoona is dating your girl?! And she dares to come here? How can you tolerate this?

Just because she's your idol Kim Tae-yeon's teammate?

If one day Kim Tae-yeon tries to take it from you, will you obediently give it up?

Territory isn't something you give up, and neither are women!

Sister Zhang: This is my sister @Jin Zhiyuan, and this is my brother-in-law @Tang Xin...

As the number one fan of the two, Sister Zhang feels that she has a long way to go.

When Ah-Yuan and I work together, who's going to woo whom? (I help Zhi-Yuan, I'll chop anyone I see.)

……

Hospital parking lot.

Lim Yoona got into the car, her expression unreadable.

This incident today had a huge impact on her, to the point that even after more than ten years in the entertainment industry, she was somewhat overwhelmed.

Why?

age.

Yoona has met many younger artists; she has even met those younger than the three members of IVE.

The problem is that those were all junior colleagues he had met at work, and he had no interaction with them.

Today's situation is completely different.

Tang Xin.

This boy is the intersection of all the women in the ward.

Lim Yoona realized with a start that the boy she was holding hands with last night was closer in age to the members of IVE!

Holy crap? I'm such a jerk!

Three 17- or 18-year-old juniors stood there, taller and younger than him.

It seems like I have no advantages other than being older and richer...

Yoona is certainly not the kind of person who lacks confidence, but the anxiety brought about by age doesn't matter whether she is confident or not.

Many people assume that celebrities, who take good care of themselves, shouldn't have any anxiety about aging.

Even if it exists, it should be very slight.

Wrong, terribly wrong!

Korean entertainers, especially female entertainers, are among the most age-anxious groups of entertainers worldwide!

Why? Because the Korean entertainment industry changes so damn fast!

If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself. A 20-year-old female idol actually said things like, "I feel old, the new kids who debuted are so young."

A group that was at its peak three years ago may be forgotten three years later.

Two years ago, I could still get scripts to play schoolgirl roles, but two years later, no one is offering me scripts to play schoolgirl roles anymore.

Having been active in the entertainment industry for many years, Lim Yoona has lost count of how many junior colleagues she has met.

The Korean idol industry is like an endless horror game, with people always turning eighteen and new faces constantly entering the scene.

She used to think it was nothing, but now she feels it's very bad!

According to the Korean age reckoning, Lim Yoon-a is already 34 years old this year. In other countries, she might still be considered a young actress, but in Korea...

South Koreans have already begun to hope that she will hone her acting skills and become a "veteran actress"...

The anxiety brought on by age broke through her defenses today in the most direct, straightforward, blunt, and incisive way.

Age anxiety can manifest in a variety of forms.

My best friend, who swore we'd stay single and enjoy life together, told me she was going to a wedding.

The men around her who were showing interest in her were all old, ugly men she wouldn't have even glanced at ten years ago;

The simps of a few years ago are now turning around and becoming simps for younger women;

Unmarried, childless, and always working, you must have saved a lot of money, right? Not really;

In the past, I would meet up with my best friend to listen to her complain about her unhappiness in marriage, and I would sympathize with her, comfort her, and secretly feel fortunate.

I can hardly get my girlfriends to go out with me now, watching other people raising kids and dogs, having two or three children;

Thinking that by lowering his pride and contacting his backup boyfriend would be a sure thing, it turned out that his backup boyfriend was getting married.

More than ten years ago, TV dramas were all about domineering CEOs falling in love with Cinderella; more than ten years later, TV dramas are all about tall, handsome young men falling in love with single older women.

That's too much of a shock.

Honestly, ten years ago, it would have been impossible for Lim Yoona to ask a guy like Tang Xin, who was neither ugly nor handsome, to dinner, because the line of people wanting to ask her out stretched from Dongdaemun to Busan Port.

Ten years later, I found myself in a hospital room, and it turned out I was the oldest aunt in the room…

Young people cannot imagine the anxiety and pressure that people over 30 experience in middle age, just as ordinary people cannot imagine that celebrities who earn so much money also feel enormous anxiety and pressure because of their age.

"Ugh, I'm so anxious. I need to get Tang Xin to come over and help me relax... Damn it, I'm even more anxious now..."

The old deer was tired and couldn't keep going.

……

Kang Yangyang returned to the ward carrying a large bag of drinking water, and she seemed to be in a very good mood.

Tang Xin asked, "What's wrong? Did you see a girl you like while buying water?"

"No, it's just that with so many women in the hospital room just now, I felt like I won big!"

"How so?"

"They were all without makeup and dressed very casually," Kang Yangyang tossed her long hair. "But I was fully made up and radiant!"

Kang Yangyang felt incredibly happy and imagined countless sensational headlines for UC News.

"Competing on the same stage, Kang Yangyang outshines Lin Yoona" and other such nonsense.

"From now on, don't call me Seoul Dae Jang Won-young. Let Jang Won-young change her name to... Vocational High School Kang Yang-yang! My academic background far surpasses hers~"

Tang Xin: "Master Kong, I think you really need to be opened."

Kang Yangyang laughed and said, "But Brother Xin, how do you know so many female celebrities?"

"Is it too much?" Tang Yiji replied, "Not much, not much at all. Is it too much? Not at all!"

"Brother Xin, please be sure to introduce me to Li Rui from IVE!" Kang Yangyang said seriously.

"Are you even human?!" Tang Xin's eyes widened. "She's a middle school student..."

"Huh?" Kang Yangyang asked in confusion, "She's an idol, and I'm just an ordinary person. Can't I be a fan?"

Tang Xin: "You really had to be!"

Kang Yangyang declared confidently, "I definitely do! I just love mature women of this age!"

Tang Xin: ?

"I'm going to have that yellow, yellow-skinned rat use 100,000 volts on you..."

"My Li Rui is so innocent and kind, she would be heartbroken for me." Kang Yangyang touched her tears in a pretentious manner.

"I'm going to shock you with Stormbreaker and Thor's hammer!"

"By the way, how exactly did you get to know the three of them, Xin-ge?"

"Would you believe me if I said today was actually the first time I met Jang Won-young and Ahn Yoo-jin?"

I believe you.

"Oh?" Tang Xin asked in surprise.

"Just like you believe I'm really not a fan of Li Rui's body."

"You fucking..."
