On March 14, 2021, izone officially announced its disbandment through an online concert.

From the announcement of their debut on October 29, 2018 to now, it has lasted two and a half years. This most successful girl group audition in the PD series has finally come to an end, but it still left a strong mark in the history of the development of KPOP.

At the same time, this also means that a new era has begun.

"Oppa, you mean I can go back to our place to practice?"

Xu Yunzhen said curiously.

Since the girl signed with Keyeast, she has been spending most of her time studying with those A-level trainees in JYP, and only occasionally returns to her own company to stroll around and attend meetings.

This also allowed Heo Yoon-jin to establish a deep friendship with the future members of NMIXX.

Mingyuan actually wanted to let the children go back to practice in the middle of the period, but later he felt that JYP’s facilities were more complete, so he let it go. However, now that izone has disbanded, the children should prepare to become a team.

After continuous improvement by men, lesserafim in this time and space has undergone a major change.

From the beginning, he had no intention of including Kim Ga-ram, who had left the group in the original history. Being involved in school bullying in Korea is much more difficult to deal with than any other controversy. It is better not to get involved and there is no need to create trouble for yourself.

Mingyuan originally wanted to find Hong Encai, the youngest member who always liked to mention his or her age.

However, after the man had negotiated with Miyawaki Sakura, Kim Chae-won and Kim Min-joo in succession, Kim Chae-won held a Keyeast promotion meeting within the group and recommended another person to himself.

Choi Ye Na.

This group of girls may have regarded Mingyuan as some kind of omnipotent wish-making elf, thinking that he could do anything.

Mingyuan thought about it carefully at that time. The biggest hidden danger of Lesserafim's future configuration is strength. If nothing else, at least the mute should be audible, and the lead singer should stand up when needed.

During these two years, he has worked hard to cultivate Xu Yunzhen, and the girl herself has also worked hard. Now she has become a completely new person.

Xu Yunzhen hangs out with Lily, Wu Haiyuan and others every day, and her vision and abilities have greatly improved.

But... having only one person who can sing in a group is still a bit thin.

With Heo Yoon-jin as the lead singer and Kim Chae-won as the lead vocalist, a six-member group would only need one more person who can sing. Choi Ye-na's positioning is very suitable.

He also spent a lot of effort in negotiating with Lehua Entertainment Korea, and finally got Choi Ye Na's contract after making some resource exchanges.

At this point, the six-winged Seraphim was officially formed.

Miyawaki Sakura, Choi Ye Na, Kim Chae Won, Kim Min Joo, Heo Yoon Jin, Nakamura Ichiyo.

Although this configuration is much older than the average age of the original history, after all, there is one less Hong Encai who was born in 2006, but the strength and appearance have been raised to a higher level.

They are good-looking and their singing skills are above average. The nationality distribution of Koreans, Americans, and Japanese girls is also reasonable.

Plan passes.

"Yes, in a few days, you will start to live together and start collective life." Mingyuan thought about it and explained a few more words to his eldest daughter: "I will only give you one year."

"One year."

"Yes, the company will arrange for you to debut in the first half of 2022."

It's not that he had to choose this time point, but the market rules dictate that that time will inevitably be the boom period for new girl groups.

SM’s new girl group aespa debuted at the end of last year. The end of 21 and the first half of 22 will definitely be a climax for a wave of new girl groups debuting. The most important thing is that they have to take advantage of the residual heat of izone’s disbandment.

In the next few days, Mingyuan has been arranging matters for the new girl group. After all, it involves four former members of izone, and there are a lot of things to deal with regarding the contracts and subsequent publicity.

When and how to make the official announcement is a science.

Fortunately, it has been more than two years since Keyeast changed its boss, and many businesses have been on the right track, so Mingyuan no longer needs to do everything himself.

"Secretary Jin, I'm thirsty."

The man opened his mouth.

"No." Kim Da Hyun responded unhappily. She came here to work, not to film "Why Secretary Kim". She didn't want to do those kinds of serving work.

Mingyuan has always been very talented at playing rogue: "Duoxian, then just watch me die of thirst."

"You are dying of thirst. Remember to write a will and leave the position of president to me."

"Is this why you agreed to me?"

"Yes, Oppa, I am that kind of bad woman."

Ever since Mingyuan and Kim Dahyun confessed their feelings to each other last year, they have been spending more time together.

Of course, most of the excuses are about work.

Tofu now understands the choices made by Chou Tzu-yu and Son Chae-young, because they are really happy when they are with this guy. A handsome, strong, capable, and emotionally valuable opposite-sex partner is really hard to find.

Mingyuan has many girlfriends, and everyone needs space to be alone, so this is not a disadvantage sometimes.

Being together every day is more likely to cause problems.

"But, Daxian, what should I do if I just like bad women?" The man stretched lazily. He loved teasing this piece of tofu during his free time at work.

Zhou Ziyu is gradually becoming a seasoned veteran, and will fight back from time to time, but Kim Dahyun is not able to do that for the time being.

In other words, Kim Da-hyun's dark type is different from those of Chou Tzu-yu and Minami Naoki.

"Okay, here's your coffee."

Kim Da-hyun shook her hair and handed over her half-drunk cup of coffee.

During this period, the overall layout of keyeast has changed. With good performance, the working environment must be improved. One of the changes is that Mingyuan's office has become larger and turned into an interlocking suite.

A big office, a small cubicle for a secretary or something, and then a rest room inside that.

From an optical point of view, this is more convenient.

As for convenience...

That’s hard to say directly.

This piece of tofu actually wanted her own office, but someone always came over, so she ended up spending most of her time in Mingyuan's office, so that they could communicate at any time if she didn't understand something.

I have to say, Kim Da-hyun looks quite stylish in her professional suit and glasses.

Sana Minatozaki looks like a little witch when she wears glasses, Tzuyu Chou looks like a student when she wears glasses, Joo-hyun Bae looks like a teacher when she wears glasses, Chae-young looks like a cosplayer when she wears glasses, and Minami Naoi looks like a yandere when she wears glasses. It's really only this piece of tofu that has that flavor.

Of course, Mingyuan was able to make this comment because he had seen it all.

"Da Hyun, you look so beautiful with glasses." The man took the coffee and praised Kim Da Hyun with a smile.

"Oppa, that's because I'm nearsighted."

The girl said speechlessly.

Although Kim Da-hyun has become popular because of her ability to spot the camera, she is actually a complete myopic person with a fairly high degree of myopia.

Mingyuan took Jin Daxian's hand and pulled the girl into his arms: "So, you should wear it more often in the future."

"I usually wear contact lenses on stage." Tofu adjusted the frame of his glasses: "Oppa, should I take some time to get an eye surgery?" For female idols, eye surgery is quite common. For example, Lee Chae-ryung had the surgery while she doesn't have many activities now.

"Sure, I'll go with you then."

Mingyuan especially likes the feeling of hugging Kim Dahyun, it feels like hugging a soft cloud, and it feels very smooth.

The girl's advantage is more or less hidden in Twice, that is, her figure is very hot, especially her waist-to-hip ratio is similar to that of Chou Tzuyu.

The waist is thin, and there seems to be a little more flesh on the butt.

What men like most is the outline that is slightly tightened by underwear, which can give people endless reverie.

“We’ll talk about it later… Oppa, can you please stop moving?” Kim Da Hyun slapped Ming Yuan’s big hand that was trying to reach up.

“Da Hyun, I have a question I’ve been wanting to ask you.”

"explain."

Mingyuan bit the ear of the tofu and said with a smile: "Is my performance better later than before?"

It has been such a long time since they both confessed, and the man certainly would not stay there obediently. He had already planned to secretly take advantage of her on some unknown night, and by the way, he also formally demonstrated his fighting ability in front of Kim Da Hyun.

That night was not at all my average.

"It's just so-so." Kim Da-hyun curled her lips.

However, Tofu realized later that the confused experience that night was really nothing worth recalling. He was tired and in pain and did not enjoy it much at all. The feeling of being sober was completely different.

No wonder even Tzuyu has grown up little by little.

"So-so?"

"correct."

Mingyuan took a deep breath of the girl's scent: "Secretary Jin, do you know what the bosses do every day?"

"What?"

"When there is work, the secretary does it. When there is nothing else, ..."

When the man’s large office was renovated, it was strictly soundproofed, so even if the sky fell inside, no one outside could hear it.

Alas, it is indeed very hard to have such a working environment.

……

"Oppa."

"Teacher Ming."

When Mingyuan arrived at KeyEast's specially renovated practice room, the six girls were already waiting there.

Miyawaki Sakura, Choi Ye Na, Kim Chae Won, Kim Min Joo, Heo Yoon Jin, and Nakamura Ichiyo who graduated early from the Netherlands to participate in group training, these are the new Lesser Afim.

"Everyone, just sit down." Mingyuan raised his hand and gestured: "How is it, are you used to it?"

Among the girls present, only Heo Yoon-jin felt comfortable: "Oppa, this place is much more luxurious than JYP."

"It's quite good. Very good."

Miyawaki Sakura expressed her opinions on behalf of the remaining girls.

Among the people present, four were from izone. The most unfamiliar one, Nakamura Ichiyo, was from Sakura and knew nothing about Korean, so in terms of age, the oldest Miyawaki Sakura became the temporary leader.

Well, Jin Caiyuan assisted from the side.

"When I first found Yunzhen, I hoped to create a girl group that could start a new era." Mingyuan said seriously, "So, from now on, I don't want you to stay in the past, but to become a brand new lesserafim."

His most important task now is to unite these girls into one team.

"lesserafim?"

The girls were keenly aware of the name that appeared in the words of the young future boss.

Mingyuan nodded: "Yes, Lesserafim, which means fearless seraph, is the concept and name prepared by the company for the new girl group."

Although the name of the group is a bit difficult to pronounce, men like its meaning very much, so they retained it.

"lesserafim..." The girls murmured and repeated this strange name that was closely related to their future.

“Words are pale, I hope to create more history with you all, although we may encounter many difficulties in the next year.

But I can assure you that it will be worth it.”

Mingyuan's remarks were probably similar to the class teacher's mobilization for the new semester, which was equivalent to making a central idea clear to the six girls.

  lesserafim, set sail!

……

Itzy's fourth comeback performance declined slightly.

Mingyuan directly intervened in the song selection to prevent Itzy from being ruined by the gorilla's eagerness to pursue his dream and unrealistic transformation.

The third department is somewhat like an independent kingdom in today's JYP. After all, the two girl groups are firmly in the hands of Xu Zaijun and Mingyuan, and there are people from Pyo Jong-rok's faction as supporters on the board of directors.

Even though Biao Zonglu has been separated and become the boss of the actor subsidiary, he still has the final say in the headquarters.

The most important thing is that because of Mingyuan’s help, the performance of the actor subsidiary is quite good, so Biao Zonglu’s voice is getting bigger and bigger. This is called mutual benefit.

The foreshadowing arranged by Mingyuan also came into play at this time.

Because of the epidemic, Park Jin-young encountered some difficulties. Like his senior predecessor Lee Soo-man, he is not only running an entertainment company, but his business is very large, and it can even be said that he has spread out in many places.

If you set up a big business, you will have to shrink it when you encounter difficulties.

The person Mingyuan and Gu Guangxue had previously arranged to be around Park Jin-young stood up at the critical moment. He disguised himself as someone with many connections in Sakura and claimed that he could help the gorilla solve the problem. Thanks to more than a year of lurking, he easily gained Park Jin-young's trust.

In short, after some negotiations, the other party used the need to secure funds as an excuse and proposed to establish a relatively independent label, and then move JYP's most valuable girl group Itzy there.

This is also a variation of Mingyuan's plan. Sending it directly to Keyeast would be difficult to explain in public opinion.

The label is much better. The man holds the majority of shares as the financier behind the scenes and gives a proper share of the profits to JYP every year. Then he slowly manages the trademark and song copyright, which is equivalent to actually obtaining the ownership of itzy.

Park Jin-young was a little hesitant at first, but the economic crisis does not wait for anyone, and Mingyuan's people kept urging him, so he finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

Establishing an independent label for itzy doesn't sound bad for JYP. It can also be said to the outside world that it values ​​artists, which is both reasonable and emotional.

In Mingyuan's third year at JYP, he finally got the coveted operating rights of itzy.

It is a label in name only, but it can become independent in a matter of minutes.

The man called five girls to celebrate together on the day the deal was confirmed.

Everything... is moving in a good direction. (End of this chapter)
