Chapter 77 Year-End Summary
Shen Yu understood what Yang Xianshuo meant.
You can't elevate a girl too much or expose her to too much of the world.
Take BlackPink as an example.
Before any of the four reached the top, before there were any worldly Chanel, Dior, Gucci, or Celine influences, and before there were any luxury cars, designer bags, or high-end jewelry to enhance their status.
At that time, if you wanted to attack Jennie or the other three, the difficulty of fighting the boss would basically be at an easy level.
Just like Bae Suzy back then.
However, when a girl is surrounded by fame and designer brands, and has seen the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry, if you still expect to impress her, then feelings may become secondary.
The threat of self-interest, and other factors combined. In short, she still longs for pure love, but that's something you can hardly give her.
This is one of the reasons why Shen Yu has not married for many years, and also why there are many married people in the industry, but even more divorced people, and countless couples who are only superficially together but secretly have all sorts of affairs.
Yang Xianshuo hopes that Shen Yu can build a healthy and harmonious family environment, and for this purpose, he does not hesitate to tell him some underlying logic.
That means celebrities are just commodities.
She was also willing to tell Shen Yu how to make his own choice at the right time.
"Of course, if you don't have this idea, then I will still suppress Ya Xuan Yang."
Since it's a product called "human beings," contract renewal is something that has to be considered. Unless K-POP has a slave contract, it's impossible to allow a member to become a top-tier hit.
If an individual's brand surpasses YG's brand, it's like BLACKPINK now—they can't generate any revenue, they become too big to handle, and they have to delete their accounts and start over.
Bae Suzy left JYPE in the same way. Did JYPE not want to continue to exploit her value? Of course they did, but unfortunately, they couldn't.
Therefore, it's better to keep a talented artist on hold during the contract period, even if it means the company earns less money, than to let something spiral out of control.
There was a lot of other content involved, which Yang Xianshuo explained, while Shen Yu merely listened.
Shen Yu nodded. He could be idealistic about artist management, but this was YG.
Ultimately, he's just a producer, not the boss of YG.
Companies in Seoul are different from those in China, even though none of them are exactly good people.
"But you don't like tea seeds?"
"Huh?" Shen Yu realized that this was the second time his boss... his uncle had introduced Li Charen to him.
"That girl has a great personality. She's a caring person who can support a family. I think you're too introverted. A girl like Cha Ren would be more suitable for you."
"..." No, Uncle, we don't need to recommend them one by one.
"Alright, I've said a lot today. Just remember, when it's time to act, don't hesitate."
"Okay, I'll be going now. Take care of yourself, Uncle Yang."
"Um."
……
As mentioned before, the Grammy nomination was a piece of cake for Shen Yu, but it was a different story for Zheng Yaxuan.
Because Zheng Yaxuan's cover of "Dangerously" easily surpassed one million views on YouTube, it has already caught the attention of Charlie Puth, in addition to Yaxuan's equally brilliant vocal performance in her collaboration with Shen Yu on "Somebody That I Used To Know".
This prompted Charlie Puth to send YG Entertainment a song with his own lyrics and music, and he also publicly stated on X that he was looking forward to collaborating with Jung Ah-hyun.
The Grammy nominations further boosted Zheng Yaxuan's fame. Shen Yu's "Somebody That I Used To Know" not only received one Grammy nomination, but also received nominations for Record of the Year, Best Pop Group Performance, Best Alternative Album, and Best New Artist.
Zheng Yaxuan's name appears in both the pop group and newcomer awards.
As the number of searches for Shen Yu's name continued to climb, Zheng Yaxuan's name also remained a hot topic on Naver.
The girl who was racking her brains to write a "guarantee that she will never steal ramen again" just a few days ago is now back in Chuncheon. However, while in Chuncheon, she wears a mask and baseball cap to prevent herself from being recognized by passersby and fans.
The company specially dispatched several agents to Chuncheon to be responsible for any accidents that might happen to Jung Ya-hyun when she goes out during this period.
Fortunately, the popularity of "The Youngest Son of a Chaebol" and Song Joong-ki's high-profile public declaration of love for his British girlfriend overshadowed Jung Ah-hyun's popularity, preventing any incident from happening to Jung Ah-hyun who was far away in Chuncheon.
Following the airing and immense popularity of "Dark Glory," Song Hye-kyo's past relationship with Song Joong-ki was once again brought into the public eye and became a topic of discussion.
People started gossiping about the Song-Song couple. Although they still cared about Jung Ya-hsuan, the buzz wasn't as intense as before.
It seems that Shen Yu ignited the year-end hot topic ahead of time. Before the public could figure out the entanglement between Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo, Lee Jong-suk's words at the MBC Drama Awards, "Thank you to the person I have liked and respected for a long time," immediately changed the trending topics again.
Not to be outdone, Dispatch (D社) detonated a New Year's Eve couples' bombshell ahead of time.
IU and Lee Jong-suk are dating; they even spent Christmas together in Nagoya just a few days ago.
This relationship actually received pretty good support.
And so, the delightful 22 years came to an end.
For Shen Yu, this feeling was quite familiar at the end of each year.
People who know each other go home and spend time with their families as the old year passes and the new year begins.
Park So-hyun originally planned to meet Shim Woo at Christmas, but ultimately had to miss the date because ModHaus had work commitments.
Of course, it was Park So-hyun who felt that her lover had missed out, and it had nothing to do with Shim Woo.
That day, Park So-hyun was acting as a manager for several girls from TriplesS who had already debuted, maintaining order as they participated in a street performance in Hongdae.
So the more lively it gets at night, the harder it is to leave.
Shen Yu took his Pocket3 and went to the streets of Hongdae to take a lot of fancam footage of TripleS. He then sent it all to Park So-hyun, essentially acting as a fan site admin for a group that hadn't officially debuted yet, all for free.
……
Xu Youqing invited Shen Yu, telling him that he could go to this beautiful woman's hometown in Renchuan with her during the Chinese New Year.
Xu Youqing said that her family members were very kind and welcomed Shen Yu, and were willing to spend New Year's Eve together.
However, Shen Yu prefers to be alone.
So on December 31st, most YG employees left work half an hour early, but Shen Yu stayed in the studio to slack off.
"It's time to eat."
I glanced at my phone. Although I didn't receive as many New Year's greetings as I did in my previous life, every single one of them was full of sincerity.
Skip it.
After leaving the YG building, I greeted the security guard and told him that I was also about to leave.
Once outside and feeling the slightly chilly air, Shen Yu finally had a real sense of reality.
What should we eat for New Year's Day?
Having not decided what to eat, Shen Yu walked along the street. Although the road was not slippery these past two days, it was not suitable for riding a motorcycle.
However, Seoul isn't that cold, and after a while, I can go back to riding my motorcycle to work.
As Shen Yu passed a convenience store, he walked over, but then felt that the person he had just seen looked somewhat familiar.
The girl who just came out of the convenience store looked very familiar.
Shen Yu turned around and realized that it was indeed a familiar person. He took two quick steps to greet her, and then watched as the girl walked into a 24-hour practice room near YG.
"Huh?"
Take out your phone to check.
No problem, it will be 10:17 PM on December 31st.
Shen Yu glanced at his reflection in the floor-to-ceiling window of the convenience store.
Good, doesn't seem like a pervert.
He quickly followed.
