Chapter 59 I want to sing an EMO song for myself
I thought that fangirls would be pretty crazy, but Xu Youqing chose a time when there were fewer people, and all the non-related people were asked to wait outside the parking lot.
Shen Yu entered the public hall without any incident.
He has a lot of fans and passersby around him, but when you get to know him in person, he is quite different from Jungkook.
Having grown accustomed to Jungkook's height and appearance, no Seoul fangirl could bring themselves to call Shen Yu "sweet wine" at this moment.
"Would you like to go say hello later?"
"Do I have to greet them too?" Shen Yu still hasn't gotten used to the strange senior-junior culture in Seoul.
"I've looked at the list. Apart from you, everyone here is basically an idol. There aren't many senior singers." Xu Youqing led Shen Yu into the elevator. "If you have a favorite idol, I can prepare a gift for you, and then we'll go say hello to them."
Shen Yu glanced at Xu Youqing.
What I was really thinking was, why does Nuna always treat him like a pervert who likes little girls?
Later, thinking about his current age and the situation of some male idols in Seoul at this age, Shen Yu understood why the other person always looked at him that way.
Oh well, let it be a misunderstanding. Girls who lend you money are treasures.
Noticing that Shen Yu was not speaking, Xu Youqing took out her phone and opened the memo app.
"Okay, I forgot to tell you which groups are recording today. Here is the list of girl groups. Take a look so I can prepare in advance."
"..."
Shen Yu originally intended to stick to his principles, but thought that taking a look shouldn't be a big deal.
He took the phone; the list didn't have many names.
"NMIXX", "(G)-IDLE", "ITZY", "aespa", "IVE", "LE SSERFIM", "NewJeans", "Fromis_9"
It's alright, I recognize most of the names.
It's normal for people not to recognize all of them.
Although MCN agencies really like girl group dances, Shen Yu can't say he doesn't like watching them, but it's the female artists under their company who learn to dance, not him.
On the high-rise buildings in Jiangnan, there are quite a few idols endorsed by GG brand. Perhaps after seeing them in person today, you can identify them.
"Oh, the seniors from Purple Rain Forest are here today too. I remember you also like rock music."
"..." To be honest, compared to a bunch of idols he'd seen or never seen before, Shen Yu was more familiar with Zi Yulin.
This feels off, but it's not a big problem.
The generation gap.
"Let's leave it at that then, it's better not to look for anyone else."
"Okay, ITZY isn't giving anything away either?"
"..."
Shen Yu glanced at Xu Youqing again.
With a feigned innocent look on his face, this Nun said, "Eh? Who asked me that last time? Was it LIA?"
"...How about we send some fruit, milk tea, or coffee?"
"OK, if you need anything next time, I know some friends who run coffee trucks."
"...Nuna's connections are unfathomable."
So you've created a closed-loop supply chain, a complete vertical integration?
After Babymonster debuted, they simply put a QR code on each member. Scanning the code would bring up the price in Korean won for support bouquets and coffee trucks, so everyone could make money.

The two passed by the photo spot at the Deungchon-dong Inkigayo Studio – the red handrail staircase.
Different rooms are distributed along the corridor.
As a "veteran artist," Shen Yu has his own dressing room.
There were actually quite a few people here today. As a popular special that is only held occasionally, apart from the Gayo Daejeon, the length and quality of the entire program are guaranteed.
The number of people will naturally increase.
Some young artists, due to a lack of dressing rooms inside the main hall, had to put on makeup and rest in a makeshift dressing room made of partitions.
Shen Yu previously thought that he only had two and a half years of singing skills without dancing, but he didn't expect that he had released an album of singing and playing instruments when he was 13 years old.
Later, due to various reasons, he debuted again when 143 Entertainment was established.
"Alright, since your makeup and hair are all done, you can rest inside for a while, or even take a nap. I'll go prepare the rest of your things. Here's your key card; call me if you need anything."
Shen Yu looked at his name written on the door of the lounge, his feelings indescribably complicated.
After waving goodbye to Xu Youqing, Shen Yu found a sofa to lean against.
Makeup and styling are complete, but the shooting time is still a long way off.
During this time, you still need to pay attention to your condition. Even if you fall asleep while lying down, be careful not to smudge your face.
Fortunately, Shen Yu only had simple makeup and styling; it would be more complicated for female idols.
Their unique hairstyles and makeup taught them to sleep and rest while sitting.
"Kakao~"
Shen Yu was startled when he heard the voice.
Because Xu Youqing just mentioned ITZY.
"By the way, the convenience store backstage at Inkigayo is famous. They sell SpongeBob luncheon meat, candy, coffee, ramen, canned tuna, and all sorts of side dishes. If you're bored in the dressing room, go check it out."
Shen Yu originally intended to shut down Kakaotalk, but unexpectedly, there were new messages.
I'll be watching the live stream tomorrow!
It also had a cute smiley face on it.
Okay, now even Teacher Park is flirting with people.
It seems she's always been good at it.
"photo.jpg"
New information has emerged.
Shen Yu saw the photos sent by Zheng Yaxuan.
The picture is of my own studio.
Seven girls occupied the sofa in the studio, some holding instant noodles, some holding coffee, and one girl, Zheng Yaxuan, holding Diget cereal like a child.
"Go Shen Yu! We'll be watching your live stream from the studio tomorrow too."
"..."
Oh, this.
Shen Yu, who was not nervous at all before, started to get nervous.
"Any Song" is easy to sing and doesn't require any special high-note techniques, so you can sing it yourself...
Shen Yu looked up at himself in the mirror.
I thought about the song "Any Song" again.
Why does this outfit seem a bit unsuitable for singing this song?
Why sing "Big Bowl Wide Noodles" then?
Unlike other idols, changing stages is not much trouble for them, and they don't need to think about positioning, dance, or switching camera angles.
Looking at the empty lounge, Shen Yu felt that it would be better to add another agent.
If it were Park So-hyun, that would be perfect.
She also studied A&R artist management.
"I've bought everything. Are you sure you don't want to come with me to say hello?"
"Nuna, give the gift to their staff and then let them know. Come back here for a bit, and while you're at it, borrow a Mac for me."
No wonder other agents have teams; Xu Youqing is the only one who really can't leave.
Shen Yu looked through the information on his phone and then made a phone call to Zheng Yaxuan.
"Oh, Mr. Shen Yu, we'll clean the studio thoroughly."
"That doesn't matter. I already said you could come anytime. By the way, Ya-xian, could you check the Demo folder on my computer..."
Shen Yu waited for Zheng Yaxuan to turn on her computer and then guided her step by step to find the contents of the computer folder.
"Hip-Hop?"
"Yes, that's the one."
The folders on Shen Yu's computer were categorized very neatly.
Although I have a lot of memories, after organizing them, the computer is still the easiest way to find things.
"Shape of My Heart, oh! I think I've heard this song before!"
"Yes, please send it over."
This outfit is very YG-esque, and since I'm also a YG person, it makes sense for me to sing a melodic rap, right?
Whether it's singing "Any Song" or "A Bowl of Noodles," Shen Yu has absolutely no interest in these kinds of songs on stage.
