"What's going on with you? Why are you doing it one after another?"
In a coffee shop near the company, Kim Taeyeon was sitting on the small sofa in the rest area and scrolling through the news on her phone. She couldn't help but feel a tremble in her heart when she saw the various online reactions to the exposure of Park Chanyeol's relationship. She asked with some concern.
.
In addition to showing the production process of his solo album, some of his private life and hobbies, and exposing a bit of the interior of his home, Chi Jingyuan's personal variety show also includes inviting some of his relatives and friends to appear on the stage to have some coffee together.
Let’s have a chat over dinner and ask a few questions for an interview.
Kim Taeyeon was the first to participate in the recording as a friend in the industry. Ji Kyungwon's network is still very wide, and many people will travel to participate in the filming. In addition to other outside friends, including Wu Sehun and even other members of EXO
All members will show up.
At this time, the staff over there were still setting up the venue and setting up cameras, and the two people here who hadn't seen each other for a while were sitting here chatting on their mobile phones.
This girl looks good. She has chestnut hair tied up in a bun on the back of her head. She wears a sweatshirt and jeans that are more casual at home. Her short legs are crossed and swaying. I don’t know what I saw and she cursed someone more harshly.
After leaving a message, he straightened up with a frown and looked at Chi Jingyuan next to him: "I was surprised when Kai was exposed. With XO's current position in the company, it stands to reason that the company should block all negative news.
ah."
"Oh, you're blocking other people's way." Chi Jingyuan, who was typing on the phone screen quickly, raised his head and glanced at Kim Taeyeon, then lowered his head and said while typing: "The company has made too much money from us in the past few years.
It’s caused public outrage because other boy groups have little room for survival and advancement.”
Kim Taeyeon looked at her phone with a very unhappy expression: "I see a lot of people are using our names. Why did Assi think of us all of a sudden?... Could it be that we are really the same as before?
?”
"Competing head-on is nothing more than playing dirty tricks... It's not just Chanyeol hyung, there are probably one or two others who will be exposed in the future... Maybe Baekhyun hyung will make a second entrance to the palace."
"But I just had a chat with the director of the publicity department... He said that the negative impact caused by Kai's exposure exceeded the company's expectations, and the devastating chain reaction caused by the continuous exposure of SNSD members is still fresh in the memory, so the company has stepped up efforts
The public relations efforts are trying to achieve the result that even if the media spreads the news of love, there will be no substantive evidence and the company will not admit it..."
However, Chi Jingyuan paused and told the news he had just learned: "And next, and very soon, the company will announce that we will mainly go overseas for activities this year, and it should stop a little by then...
…It’s still a little different from the seniors of Girls’ Generation.”
Girls' Generation was continuously exposed at that time because of some factors related to contract renewal, while EXO was purely because they were too popular and arrogant. After losing the mainland market, they stayed in the peninsula, and Neon did not go there much after their debut.
activities, blocking the way of too many people.
But if they leave on their own, some jealous people won't really offend SM to death.
"That's it...but Jingyuan, you shouldn't be exposed..."
Kim Taeyeon nodded clearly after hearing this, then suddenly remembered something, her eyes flashed with color, and she asked with some concern and some inexplicable expectation.
But when she looked over, she found that Chi Jingyuan was texting with his head down again. He was not paying attention to the conversation with her and immediately became a little angry. His voice suddenly increased and asked: "Ah, who are you texting with so attentively?"
It’s not another girlfriend, is it?”
"What?"
Chi Jingyuan raised his head with an innocent face, his eyes full of speechlessness: "What do you mean 'which girlfriend'? How many girlfriends do I have?"
It would be fine if he was really chatting with his girlfriend, but he was texting... Lin Nalian. Isn't this an injustice?
Tuya suddenly sent him a message a few days ago asking him if he wanted to see Twice's first concert, saying that she could prepare some internal tickets for him. Chi Jingyuan wondered why Lin Nalian was so enthusiastic all of a sudden, even though he felt sorry for her.
He had a good intention, but since the two of them didn't know each other that well, and he really had too many tickets to use, he declined politely.
Unexpectedly, Lin Nalian didn't care, but this topic seemed to open up an opening. In the next two or three days, she would chat with him from time to time, asking about his concert preparation experience.
How to relieve tension and other things... I really don't know how there is a time difference of more than ten hours between LA and Seoul. How can she find so much time and accurately find Chi Jingyuan's free time in the morning, noon and evening.
She was so enthusiastic about sending her the tickets, and Chi Jingyuan had just declined her politely, so it was not easy to just pretend to be dead and dive, so she just replied a few times every time she had time.
Just now, Lin Nayeon heard him say that he had returned to Seoul, and now she was in full swing, asking him about Park Chanyeol in a sideways manner...
"No more, no more."
Seeing that Kim Taeyeon was getting angry, Chi Jingyuan locked the phone, ended the chat unilaterally, showed her the black screen to show her innocence, and continued to reply to Kim Taeyeon's question just now: "I shouldn't be exposed.
Well, official media and magazines probably won’t talk about me. Some so-called revelations on the Internet, the company just doesn’t admit it..."
"As for what's next... I can't say it's okay. The negative impact is actually huge... But everything has happened, so what else can we do?"
Seeing what Chi Jingyuan said, Kim Taeyeon stopped asking any more questions. She nodded and looked down at her phone. Then she didn't know what she saw. She suddenly began to think divergently and said, "But by the way, the love affair has been exposed."
What does it feel like? I really haven’t tried it yet..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There was so much anticipation in her eyes that Chi Jingyuan thought he had seen it wrong.
"Then why don't you just call D agency and say that you are Kim Taeyeon and want to expose your relationship?" Chi Jingyuan felt that this sister's brain was really crazy, so he sneered and said unceremoniously: "If Nu, then you
If it's a free period now... just make up one."
"Just make one up? With whom?" Kim Taeyeon immediately looked over and blinked, making a pretentious "I'm very beautiful" look.
"Well……"
Being stared at by a pair of small eyes, Chi Jingyuan immediately understood what this sister meant. His expression changed and his body leaned back a little involuntarily.
But this half step back deeply hurt Kim Taeyeon. The silent disgust made her immediately furious: "Ah, what's your expression? De Gulei?"
I just tried to make a joke and it turned out to be like this. Is it wrong? She is Kim Taeyeon. I don’t know how many people want to be exposed to her. What kind of trouble are you trying to make with this disgusting and unwilling action?
"It's not what you imagined, Nu Na..." Chi Jingyuan immediately noticed that his conditioned reflex actions seemed a bit aggressive, and immediately explained seriously: "The main reason is that the two of us are too familiar, and fans all know that we are
We are so close... By the way, isn't your ideal type Jiang Dongyuan? I think he's pretty good."
However, Kim Taeyeon didn't listen to his nonsense at all. She sneered and stared at Chi Jingyuan with a murderous expression and asked coldly: "If we two are not suitable...then would you like to expose you and Yoona?"
"Okay!" Chi Jingyuan's eyes lit up, and his back that had just been tilted back instantly straightened up.
The next second, a short leg kicked over from the air:
"West bar..."
…………
"By the way, Noona, how are you preparing your album? When will it be released?"
Of course, the joke was just a joke. After the quarrel, Chi Jingyuan thought of something and got down to business.
Kim Taeyeon's achievements in her 15-year solo debut are astonishing. She can be called a one-man group. Her subsequent development has also been smooth. Today, when Girls' Generation has significantly reduced its activities, the number of individual fans has even surpassed that of the big group.
group, directly took over the banner of Girls’ Generation
... SM then released solos for many members of SNSD one after another. In addition to the conditions promised when renewing the contract, they were probably also confused by Kim Taeyeon's solo performance. They overestimated the brand of SNSD and felt that all the members were
There are reasons for her achievements.
It's a pity that everyone else basically jumped in. Even Huang Miying, who is not too aggressive, is far behind Kim Taeyeon's results... Now SM understands that even though we are both SNSD, there is a gap.
Although the performance of Kim Taeyeon's mini 2 dropped last year and the reviews were polarized, the benefits were very good. SM did not reduce the investment of resources. After the two mini albums, she directly started the planning of a regular album for this sister.
It has been under intense preparation.
The weight and significance of a regular album, and even the resources invested, are much heavier than a mini album.
Chi Jingyuan was busy with filming and his album some time ago, so he didn't ask too much... but I heard that he was almost ready.
"There are still some finishing touches, but the main work has been completed. You don't know how tired I was some time ago. I also came up with a lot of ideas for this album..."
When talking about her regular album, Kim Taeyeon immediately became interested. Her eyes lit up and she began to talk endlessly about what happened during this period: "You have been filming a while ago, and I couldn't find anyone to refer to you for reference.
...But "Goblin" is so popular, my mom really likes watching it..."
"What's the name of the album?"
""My Voice""
"Well, it's a bit earthy."
"I've actually been hesitant because I think it's a bit too popular... Why don't you help me create one? I can change it now."
"Forget it, it's pretty good."
"Tch...by the way, you haven't heard the songs on my album, have you? Do you want to listen to them?"
Seeing that there seemed to be some time left for the preparations at the scene, Kim Taeyeon's eyes lit up as she thought of something. She took out her phone and shook it at Chi Jingyuan. She extended the invitation with some anticipation. After seeing Chi Jingyuan raise an eyebrow, she immediately
He happily took out his headphones and plugged them in, then offered one over to him.
Chi Jingyuan didn't shy away from it and took it directly.
The title song of Kim Taeyeon's official album is called "Fine", which is an Alternative Pop style song.
The entire album contains a total of 13 songs, but due to time constraints, Chi Jingyuan did not listen to them all. Except for the title song, he listened to most of them from the first section. After feeling the quality and level, he made the decision.
"How's it going?" After listening to it in general, when she saw Chi Jingyuan take off her headphones, Kim Taeyeon moved her butt and sat closer, immediately waiting for his comments with great anticipation.
He had great faith in Chi Jingyuan's vision. His confirmation would make her feel more at ease.
"Well... the standards of the songs included are very high. The company must have put a lot of effort into collecting the songs for you. There are a few songs that sound like Kenzie Noona's style..."
"The title song "Fine" is not a standard brainwashing song, but it suits Noona's style and voice quite well. The arrangement and singing are both very good..."
Although Kim Taeyeon really wanted to ask, Chi Kyungwon did not express his true thoughts, but made some comments from an encouraging perspective.
He felt that the title song didn't sound very amazing, and the opening part of the voice after the chorus was a little too much. It might be better if it was lowered a little...
But what she is saying now is all nonsense and just causing trouble. Because according to the progress Kim Taeyeon just mentioned, even if she wants to adopt his opinion, the album is almost finished and cannot be changed.
"You mean it's not bad?" But Kim Taeyeon is also a human being, so of course it was clear that he had reservations, but she still asked with great interest.
"The quality is very high." Chi Jingyuan nodded. After a pause, he changed the topic and clicked his tongue: "Except for the title song... I feel very good about one of the included songs. It seems to be called,
It’s called... "Time Traveling in Memory."
He looked at the song title again before reading out the name: "I seem to have heard this song before. Is it a cover song? Nu, how did you choose this song to cover? It really suits you, your taste.
so good?"
He really felt a lot about this song when he heard it. The music and singing were very good, and it suited Kim Taeyeon's voice very well. Her voice had a very ethereal but warm atmosphere after it was sung.
Compared to the title song...Chi Jingyuan actually likes this one better.
It’s just that Chi Jingyuan originally thought that his compliment would make Kim Taeyeon show off. Unexpectedly, this sister actually stared at her eyes and looked over with dissatisfaction: "Ah, this song was played by me during the concert last year."
I just sang it, and the response from the fans was very good, so I added it to the album. The video of the live cover was quite popular at the time... You don’t know anything about it?"
She looked hurt, and she accidentally covered her forehead and fell on the back of the chair: "Chi Jingyuan, you don't care about Noona at all... you are busy dating little girls."
"Nuna~"
Chi Jingyuan immediately waved his hand and spoke. Just when Kim Taeyeon thought he was going to comfort and explain something, Chi Jingyuan shrugged and said matter-of-factly: "Even if you know, don't say it, it hurts your feelings~
"
"Axi, you are so... I'm going to see you later!"
Seeing that Kim Taeyeon was about to leave with her heart hurt, Chi Jingyuan immediately grabbed her with a smile and immediately changed the subject: "Are you sure when the song will be released?"
It was originally just a joke, but of course Kim Taeyeon wouldn't take it seriously. She sat down again and curled her lips and said: "...it will be the 28th of next month."
"How come it's February?" Chi Jingyuan felt helpless when he heard the time.
Red Velvet is coming back in February, Twice is coming back in February, Kim Taeyeon is coming back in February... so is he.
How come it’s all pushed to next month?
"By the way, your solo seems to be next month too, right?" Hearing what he said, Kim Taeyeon instantly remembered it and asked with some worry: "Are you sure what date it is? We won't run into each other, right?"
"
"I only confirmed it during the meeting before I came."
