tival, the two brothers first went to pay their respects to their ancestors. Even though their parents and older sister weren't there, this kind of thing definitely couldn't be forgotten.After that, C..."Taeyeon is actually going to solo debut in October Or did Kyungwon write the song and produce it, and he didn't even tell me..."
In JYP's CEO office, Park Jin-young frowned immediately after seeing the preview ** just released. After reading through the wording in the preview again, he looked up at the company director: "Didn't we notice this when choosing Twice's debut date"
This pre-debut girl group, which encompasses the essence of JYP's finest trainees over the past few years, is now JYP's last resort for a comeback. To ensure their successful debut and immediate popularity, JYP has held numerous meetings, ultimately choosing a period with relatively low competition and right after GOT7's return. They hoped for a smooth launch, but an unexpected obstacle has emerged.
As a young captain, Kim Taeyeon already had immense popularity and national recognition. Adding Ji Chang Wook to the mix as the behind-the-scenes figure, ** even specifically used them as promotional material. Seeing these two names, especially the latter, caused Park Jin-young's eyebrows to furrow.
"Although we know ** Entertainment is giving Taeyeon a solo release, the information we got should be around early October, with a one to two week buffer period from TWICE's debut and it won't clash directly."
The head of the dormitory is still very capable, it's not all hearsay: "But for some reason, this time **'s pre-release date was set for mid-October and delayed for about a week... It might be that there were some problems with the album preparation, or maybe it was to coordinate the promotion..."
Has a specific time been set
"I haven't received any message, I guess ** is still figuring things out themselves."
After introducing the received message, the head of the room proactively added: "However, according to our judgment, as long as there is a certain buffer period, Jin Tae-yeon's solo will not have too much impact on TWICE's debut, because according to her style analysis, the debut song must be a lyrical style, songs praising love or something like that. And TWICE's main focus is on pop songs with a sweet and cool style, they are completely different audiences and styles."
And because Sixteen's impressive viewership and popularity, as well as the constant updates of Twice TV attracting fans and your previous discussions, Twice already had a certain level of fame before their debut. For newcomers, this is a very good start. So I think there's no need to worry too much...
“…”
After hearing his subordinates' analysis, Park Jin-young's brows relaxed, and his complexion improved considerably. He looked at the announcement on the webpage in his computer, lightly nodded at the names of Taeyeon and Yuan.
If EXO's comeback and TWICE's debut coincided, he would immediately call a meeting to change the debut date.
And not only should twice's be changed, but GOT7's should be changed first.
But now there's only Taeyeon left, and even if Park Kyung-won becomes more popular, he'll still be behind the scenes. Even his fans who support him by supporting Taeyeon wouldn't have the same level of support as they do for him or EXO.
And indeed the styles are very different, and the audiences are different.
Since we've already decided, it's not a good idea to change the debut time anymore. Let's just do it this way.
…………
After ** Company quickly issued a denial of the dating rumors between Ji Chang Wook and Kim Tae Yeon, netizens who were excitedly following the story suddenly felt deflated. They had initially thought it was a shocking revelation about the top male and female idols from YouTube, but it turned out to be just fake news.
But for fans on both sides, it was an instant relief, especially many of Chikage's solo supporters. When they first saw the news, they felt like the sky and the sun had dimmed, but now that they've seen the clarification statement, some eyes that were previously dim and teary have instantly regained their sparkle.
The company has already issued an official statement, it's nonsense!
Just say it, how could Oppa possibly be in a relationship!
It's fake after all. Good thing I didn't believe it earlier!
Originally, they were just good friends who happened to be seniors and juniors, and they even worked together. So I scolded Kim Taeyeon that woman for so long... Forget it, whatever. As long as she doesn't have a relationship!
Compared to unfounded rumors and a few edited photos, ** Entertainment's official statement is still very credible in this regard. After the announcement was made, although some conspiracy theorists thought the company was only covering up their relationship, most people actually believed it after seeing it.
A variety of emotions appeared in the hearts of the AELIES, the joy of regaining what was lost brought a sense of fulfillment to many fans. The company's efficient response and debunking this time also made these AELIES very satisfied. Many people expressed their praise for the company under the official account.
And for many of Taeyeon's fans, it's the same. Although these s ones who went through last year's scandal have already mentally prepared themselves, preparation is one thing, but having no romance is naturally the best; our Taeyeon is still our Taeyeon.
Although Chi Jingyuan is indeed pretty good, at least within the circle, it's hard to find a male idol with more status and popularity than him...
Some even expressed such sentiments, and within just a few hours, fans of the CP pairing between Yuan and Taeyeon were born.
However, since the rumors have been clarified, and ** took the opportunity to promote Taeyeon's solo debut, it naturally came into everyone's sights and directly became a hot topic.
Some fans of Girls' Generation and Taeyeon who were just mourning the end of a previous negative event, having vented their anger at Ji-sung after that, immediately rejoiced upon seeing this news and celebrated it widely online.
"Oni is going solo I've been looking forward to this for years, it finally happened!"
"Looking at it this way, ** is really putting a lot of emphasis on Taeyeon's solo comeback this time. Li Xiuman personally oversaw the production, Yuan took on the role of main producer and wrote the title track, and Taeyeon also participated in writing the lyrics… This lineup is already amazing. Several of EXO's hit songs this year all had Yuan involved in the production. And after watching this year's music festival in its entirety, even though I'm not a big fan of male idols, I really think he's super talented... With his involvement and ** giving so many resources, as a diehard Taeyeon fan, I'm very excited and happy for her."
“This is what Taeyeon deserved. A few years ago when she was the most popular, she should have debuted as a solo artist. With Girls' Generation's popularity at that time, it definitely would have been a huge success. But because of Girls' Generation, she got delayed until now, debuting eight years later. It’s really too late. Now that the company is letting Yuan participate and giving her resources, it can only be said that ** still cares.”
"Today this news is really explosive! First, there were romance rumors, then the announcement of a solo debut, but in the end, it's for the best. As someone who loved both Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo since their early days and was obsessed with their dual roles, I'm super excited! Plus, the two idols collaborating are my favorites in every group I like. I'm so happy! The money is already prepared, just waiting for pre-orders to open."
Although I'm not into Girls' Generation or Taeyeon, since it's an album produced by our Oppa and his main track, we'll definitely support it.
Fans who were just crying and making a fuss have instantly changed their faces, starting to celebrate and praise. The two fandoms, which had recently been fighting online and even almost directly tearing each other down, have immediately ceased hostilities and are even discussing what kind of title song Kim Tae-yeon and Ji Kyeong-won could write together.
There's no awkwardness or stiffness at all, the change is very smooth and natural, because fans are so passionate and straightforward. You and my idol are dating I'll die to be your anti-fan. But since there isn't a relationship like that, it doesn't matter.
After **'s clarification, ** immediately announced a solo debut, which not only failed to have any negative impact from the love rumors but even had a very good promotional effect. At least within a day, Taeyeon's solo debut became well-known, and various keywords appeared on the entertainment sections of many websites, becoming the most anticipated and watched thing among passersby after the dating rumors.
It's estimated that even the person who started the rumor and exposed the couple's relationship couldn't have imagined such an outcome. This time, **'s response to the dating rumors was surprisingly swift. It was clarified within just a few hours.
Whether it's a blessing in disguise or a long-planned scheme...
…………
Then let's do it that way.
In the conference room, the representative in charge of public relations tidied up the documents in front of them and announced the adjournment.
As the staff gradually walked out, Kim Tae-yeon and Ji Kyeong-won, who were summoned to discuss today's incident, also chatted softly as they walked out of the conference room. Their managers followed a few meters behind.
"What a misfortune..."
Kim Tae-yeon complained with a sigh, uttering the same sentiment as Park Jin-young before her.
She was originally running her personal schedule with the members, but when she was backstage, she suddenly saw a love rumor about herself and Ji Chang Wook. When she felt absurd and surprised, she was immediately confirmed by her manager's phone call confirming the truth of the relationship, and then she had to rush to the company meeting.
"Indeed." Chi Jingyuan nodded in agreement.
“You guys are so lucky to have fans, especially your fans. They're incredible, not at all inferior to your previous fanbase, and I even feel like they're crazier. Look at this, in just a short time, I've already been cursed thousands of times on my Ins. You wouldn't believe how vicious their insults are...”
Remembering what I saw in the car just now, Choi Kyung-won's fans were scolded and attacked. Kim Tae-yeon was so angry that she took out her phone and logged into her INS. She pointed out a few heartbreaking personal attacks right in front of Choi Kyung-won, with an extremely dissatisfied look on her face: "My good mood for the day is gone..."
"How coincidental, I am too."
The fans were indeed a bit crazy, and Park Ji-won was very clear about the fighting power and loyalty of his girlfriend fans and wife fans. However, he wasn't suitable to apologize on behalf of the fans, so instead, he also took out his phone, opened his ins, found the unbearable comments from sone under his ins, and made the same movements and expressions as Kim Taeyeon: "One good day is ruined..."
Although sone's online attacks on Alice are often ineffective, his use of insults and veiled criticisms pales in comparison. There aren't many flaws to be found with Ji Jingyuan, but attacking him alone is still enough to vent frustrations on his Ins page, which is why his Ins was recently flooded with negative comments.
"..."
"Sigh."
Two people were holding their phones and shaking them at each other, frowning and staring into each other's eyes. After a few seconds, they both sighed and shook their heads, putting down their phones. Seeing the other person's actions, they couldn't help but smile wryly at each other in shared misery.
They didn't feel they had done anything wrong because they were already close and intimate. It was normal to sit a little closer at the dinner table, and they were discussing serious matters anyway. Who would have known someone would take a picture of them
It can only be said that it was a misfortune.
"Rumors can be scolded so harshly, if you really expose a love affair in the future, your girlfriend won't be scolded to death" Kim Taeyeon smiled wryly and didn't complain. The two walked side by side towards the elevator in the corridor, and at the same time they pouted and said sarcastically: "When your girlfriend is really miserable."
"From now on, I'll definitely be more careful... And who knows what will happen in the future Maybe they'll even be willing to..."
Chi Jingyuan defended himself with a few words, but then he remembered how things had unfolded today and his expression improved considerably: “It’s fine though, there wasn’t any real impact, and it’s kind of like publicity for you.”
"Well, the publicity department said that through this incident, they've achieved all their publicity goals. All the publicity plans we had previously made are now obsolete."
Kim Taeyeon nodded, thinking about this feeling made her feel a lot better. She walked to the elevator door and stopped waiting. She lightly wiped the floor with her foot and looked at her shoes, suddenly said: "You say, did the company know about this before"
"Who knows"
Chi Jingyuan glanced at the shoes, which were noticeably too big for her height, and said with a half-smile that was both teasing and mocking.
It doesn't really matter if you know or not.
"Well, when was that photo taken" Kim Taeyeon seemed to understand, and instead of asking further, she brought up something else.
"5 p.m."
"OK."
……
At 5 p.m., both Ji-seong and Taeyeon separately uploaded a photo on their respective Ins, which showed them along with several recording studio staff members and other producers in the recording studio. A group of workers were either smiling brightly or with stiff expressions looking at the camera, but their faces had all been blurred. The most prominent were Taeyeon and Ji-seong in the center, both wearing baseball caps and almost barefaced, dressed in ordinary casual wear, smiling and making a scissor hand gesture together. At first glance, it was clear they had a good relationship and were collaborating.
This photo was taken by them on a whim when they were working together before. They kept it as a memento, and it just so happened to be posted now, both as a response to the rumors and as a solo announcement for those who are in tune with their activities.
After the upload, it sparked another wave of discussion. Fans from both sides and numerous passersby flooded the comments section expressing their anticipation. The simultaneous release of this work photo also eased some tensions between Alices (fans of Alice) and Sones (fans of s), who previously criticized each other despite the timely statement denying a romantic relationship.
After that, ** also announced that EXO's member Yuan accepted an invitation from Gucci to attend the 2016 Milan Fashion Week which will be held on October 23rd this month.
It's crucial to understand that the value proposition of being invited by a brand versus attending an event without an invitation, especially one from a renowned brand like Gucci, is vastly different. There's a significant difference in perception and impact between being actively sought out and simply showing up unbidden.
Although he hasn't received the official title yet, and doesn't need to or want to hype it up, ** didn't promote it excessively after discussing it with Park Ji-won. They only released a participation announcement. But it still surprised fans, especially those in the industry, and other artists were stunned.
You're getting invited by luxury brands like Gucci, but we can't even find a way to get noticed at events.
For many Peninsula artists who have always been awkward about fashion resources, this is really something enviable and even jealous.
However, many people had actually predicted this beforehand, including many people in the industry. As early as before, Chi Jingyuan and GUCCI's official accounts followed each other, and whenever they posted some single products, it was already known that the two sides were collaborating. Being invited to watch the show was just a formality.
Of course, even being able to reach this stage is still shocking to many practitioners.
After all, there's no harm without comparison. Besides , it's hard to find any male idol in Korea who can stand beside top-tier European brands like this.
And fans were naturally ecstatic. Besides all sorts of rainbow farts, they started online to do a lot of explanations about what kind of brand Gucci is, how difficult it is to get the title, and what kind of status and concept池景源 getting it represents.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It's no wonder fans are so excited, after all, for idols in the music industry, resources of this level are practically a fantasy. They can boast about it with pride, and even besides fans, even Chi Jingyuan's older sister called after seeing the news. Besides the usual casual greetings and teasing about his rumored relationship, she specifically mentioned this matter as well, inquiring about Kim Taeyeon.
"Are you sure" Ajumma Chae Hyun-jeong has a strong personality, but when she speaks to Ji-seong, she's very close and gentle. You can tell from her voice that she's quite excited about this.
"I'm not sure yet, but I think it's pretty close."
Of course, she wouldn't give her sister Chi Jingyuan a perfunctory answer. She spoke honestly: "After this trip, I'll meet their newly appointed design director. After seeing next year's autumn and winter fashion show again, it should be fine."
He knows his older sister is quite fond of luxury goods, and it's not just him. His second brother, Chi Jingxu, also loves them. Besides his preference for casual collaborations, everyone else in their family are loyal customers of these top-tier luxury brands.
"Choosing a spokesperson is quite complicated, but that's normal for this kind of brand... How about it, what kind of title do you think they could get"
"The specifics are still unclear, but at the very least it's going to be a peninsula-sized area, I estimate. It should be more like a spokesperson for a large region."
"Can I get the title of global ambassador" Chi Hyun-jeong directly gave a target.
The elder sister is quite bold in her thinking, but while Chi Jingyuan does have ambitions, he is more practical: "This... I estimate it's a bit difficult. Kpop's influence in the US and Europe is still relatively average..."
"You are my brother, of course you are qualified. What does Kpop have to do with anything"
Tianjing Diyi said, "That's only natural." Then Chi Xianjing also laughed and said, "Then I'll use more Gucci products in the future. It's a way to support our Jingyuan. But honestly, their clothing over the past few years has been quite average. There's no real style, and it feels a bit outdated. Compared to that, I prefer CHANEL. If only you could get a CHANEL title... But Gucci's newly appointed creative director Michele is actually pretty good. The last few shows he put on have brought about some significant changes..."
"By the way, I also received an invitation. Maybe we'll run into each other then." The elder sister finally said with a smile, getting to the point.
"Then you should go too"
Upon hearing this, Chi Jingyuan was a little surprised, and immediately his phone buzzed with the self-assured voice one would expect:
Of course, I'm a VIP. I get invited every year, whether I go or not.
……
After the news was made public, Ji Jingyuan received many envious and teasing text messages from relatives and friends. Some people asked if he would get a discount on Gucci luxury goods if he became an endorser, and some even asked him to buy some things for them in Milan after he went there.
The most interesting thing is Tzuyu. After pretending to ask about fashion week, she seemed nonchalant and nervously asked about Taeyeon's solo debut. It's clear that she's worried about her group potentially clashing with this senior idol's comeback.
However, Ji Jingyuan wasn't entirely sure either. Because of this "relationship", they still needed to rework the promotional plan, which meant ** hadn't fully confirmed anything yet.
Even the producer himself didn't know the exact time, and if it were anyone else, perhaps people would think that Ji Jingyuan was just being evasive and didn't want to say. However, Zhou Tzuyu fully believed him and had no doubts at all. After not pressing further, she felt a little disappointed for a moment, then couldn't help but start talking about her experiences during the pre-debut period—complaining and reminiscing.
The recent storm gradually subsided with time, and after a few days, Ji Jingyuan also boarded the flight to Italy with the team prepared by his company.
Fashion Week will be over in a flash, speeding straight to Taeyeon and TWICE's debut.
Thanks to all the brothers for the monthly tickets, rewards, and recommendations. Thank you very much to my wife
