Chapter 26 I want to go to JYP
Three days have passed since the last MV shoot, and the editing department informed Lin Yuan and Li Zhi'en last night that they could start preparing for the pre-production promotion.
Inside the meeting room, Lin Yuan registered a series of personal accounts on Instagram, YouTube, and Weibo, and he and Lee Ji-eun each posted a video clip and tagged each other.
The video was discovered by Lee Ji-eun's fans as soon as it was released, and the number of views increased exponentially.
[Wow, IU's first kiss in a music video is gone just like that?]
[I'd like to ask for information about the female supporting character in the video. She's so beautiful! Is Loen planning to promote a girl group?]
[This time it's one song with two versions and two music videos? What's Loen up to?]
[Damn it, my goddess is actually playing a supporting role to that bastard Lin Yuan? SM's management is incompetent, they should be replaced. Even a dog could do a better job.]
【What's wrong? I think Lin Yuan oppa is quite handsome, and he and Irene are a good match.】
Just like that, with the release of two simple clips, the entire Korean entertainment industry was shaken. LuMin's name left a deep impression on the public, indicating that the group would become an instant hit.
"Wow! We did it! We really did it!"
Kim Dae-yong, the head of the entertainment department, shouted without regard for his image, and even the usually aloof Park Young-cheol couldn't help but smile, though it wasn't a very attractive smile.
President Shin Won-soo suppressed his excitement and calmly said, "Lin Yuan, thanks to your creativity, you deserve the most credit for LuMin's explosive popularity."
Lin Yuan stood up with a smile and replied modestly, "It's all thanks to everyone. I was just expressing my thoughts."
Lin Yuan didn't think he had made any great contribution. The song was decided by teacher Park Young-cheol, the concept of the group was something the company had in mind from the beginning, the buzz was brought by Lee Ji-eun and Bae Joo-hyun, and the MV shooting was the directors' job. He just casually "copied" a song.
"Alright, we've taken the first step. Next comes the second and third. We must maintain this momentum. If anyone makes a mistake at this stage, don't blame me for being ruthless, understand?"
"Understood! ×N"
.....
At 9 p.m. on April 19, Lee Ji-eun finished her schedule early and brought Hwang Ye-ji and the other person to Lin Yuan's place, where they occupied his sofa and snacks.
In the living room, Lee Ji-eun sat cross-legged on the carpet, holding a bag of potato chips, and shouted into the air, "Lin Yuan, get me a Coke. Oh, and for Lychee, I want Fanta, apple flavor."
"understood."
Lin Yuan replied helplessly.
Hwang Ye-ji felt a little sorry for him. She was just a guest, and she felt uncomfortable being served by her oppa. She asked softly, "Unnie, should I go instead? Oppa is quite busy."
Lee Ji-eun, her eyes glued to the television, said nonchalantly, "It's okay, you can just sit there. There are some things you don't even know where they are."
"What if Oppa gets angry?"
Lee Ji-eun glanced at Lin Yuan and scoffed, "Does he dare?"
Ha, you scoundrel! We've kissed and touched each other, and after all these days you haven't reacted at all. You scumbag!
Lin Yuan walked over with two bottles of drinks, gently placed them on the coffee table, and bent down to pat Huang Lizhi's head. "You two eat less, or you won't be able to eat dinner later."
"Okay~" Hwang Ye-ji obediently put down the snacks in her hand and responded sweetly.
Lee Ji-eun rolled her eyes at him, "Mind your own business." She still ignored his suggestion.
Lin Yuan thought she was joking, shook her head, and went back to the kitchen.
11 pm.
Lee Ji-eun was a little too lazy to move, so she suggested that they have dinner at the coffee table. So the three of them sat around a small coffee table and ate.
She brought a bottle of red wine from home, hoping to resolve something today. Lin Yuan tried to dissuade her several times without success, so he simply let her be, thinking that a glass of red wine shouldn't cause any problems.
Lee Ji-eun poured a drink for Lim Won, while Hwang Ye-ji, standing to the side... well, little brat, go drink your beverage.
"Cheers!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them raised their glasses to celebrate their bright future.
Hwang Ye-ji enjoyed the atmosphere. She was fed by her unnies and oppas, and there were delicious foods that she wanted to eat but rarely ate. No one cared about her eyes; there was only endless concern.
So she finally made up her mind and tentatively said, "Oppa, Unnie, I...I want to become a trainee at JYP."
Lin Yuan panicked as soon as he heard this. Did this girl still choose JYP? He knew all too well how she fell from grace as a "monster rookie". He absolutely couldn't let her go to JYP. That damn JYP second campus was a garbage dump. Anyone who went there would die.
"No, I disagree!"
Lin Yuan's opposition surprised both of them.
Huang Lizhi was timid and dared not speak when he saw his angry expression. He could only lower his head in disappointment and not utter a sound, and tears of grievance gradually streamed down his face.
Lee Ji-eun pulled her into her arms, wiped away her tears, and questioned her, "This is Lizhi's dream. Why do you disagree? What's your reason? If you don't have a reason, I'll send Lizhi over tomorrow. I don't need you."
Lin Yuan realized he had gone too far, and his tone immediately softened: "I didn't stop her from having a dream, it's just that JYP really isn't a good fit. Lizhi, listen to your oppa, how about we switch to another company? Do you like SM? Girls' Generation and Ryder Baby are very famous, much better than JYP."
Hwang Ye-ji wanted to debut, and coincidentally, a talent scout from JYP gave her a business card, so she naturally chose it.
She certainly liked SM Entertainment. As a long-established entertainment company and the leader of the Big Three, its selection standards were very high. She was afraid that her eyesight would be the reason for her failure.
Lee Ji-eun's expression changed upon hearing SM's name. "Heh, I think you're up to no good at the bar. Are you using Lychee's presence as an excuse to go find your little wife?"
Lin Yuan quickly waved his hand and explained, "What are you talking about? I really think JYP is not suitable. Li Zhi is so beautiful and dances so well. She's going to SM's top visual. Isn't that a good thing?" He didn't know why he was in such a hurry to explain. Maybe he was afraid that Lee Ji-eun would be angry?
Seeing that he didn't seem to be faking it, Lee Ji-eun's expression gradually improved, and her tone softened, "Alright, with us here, how could we let Lychee be bullied? Let her choose for herself."
Hwang Ye-ji left Lee Ji-eun's embrace, thought for a moment, and said, "I...I want to go to JYP. They invited me first."
ah~
Lin Yuan knew it was no use saying anything; this girl was determined to go to JYP, simply because they had invited her first.
Although it's absurd, it fits her personality perfectly.
"Lychee, Oppa won't force you to choose any particular brand. If you're ever wronged, you must let us know immediately, okay?"
"Thank you, Oppa. Thank you, Unnie. I will."
Lin Yuan had already made up his mind. There were still two or three years before ITZY was born. He would do everything he could to prevent Lizhi from entering the second-tier university, even if it meant using some means.
As the second idol I met after arriving here, the girl's well-behaved and adorable appearance is very endearing. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she could be raised as a daughter. What father would want to see his daughter being bullied?
Lee Ji-eun was also happy for her, shouting loudly, "Celebrating in advance that Lychee has become a trainee! I hope you debut soon, cheers!"
