May is a bit boring, just coming back and coming back again.

Since the governance system of "Epidemic Prevention Headquarters-Central Accident Management Headquarters-Central Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters" was established, South Korea's epidemic situation has entered a relatively stable daily stage, so the concentrated return in May is foreseeable.

S.H.I.P. was the worst, throwing out artists like Taeyeon, NCT127, NCT Dream, and Byun Baekhyun, making it seem like Lee Soo Man was short of money.

Oh yes, there is also the return of Yesung, the Yesung of the Driver Group.

As for the outside world, the group that Oh My Girl and Cha Eun-woo are in is making a comeback, and many groups and artists from the past, such as MonstaX, TXT, NU'EST, Day6, Kim Chungha, etc. are about to make a comeback. It's quite lively.

Integrate naturally did not participate. In addition to practicing every day, they also had to be ready to respond to the call from the Blue House at any time, so they had no time.

Besides, it’s almost enough for Starship MonstaX to show up. There’s no need for the boss to get involved once the younger brother has taken action.

After suffering multiple blows, MonstaX did not rise from the ashes but did not fall either. After more than half a year of rehabilitation, they have barely recovered their strength. Their activities in South Korea are just a simple test to re-evaluate their position.

Cosmic Girls also have plans, but they will not be rushing to join the May wave and are planning to return around mid-June.

Jin Shidai said he wanted to create a time difference, but Chen Chen thought he was looking for death.

June started with the return of all nine members of TWICE, and the big name at the end of June was BLACKPINK, who had not had any official activities for a long time. In the middle was the talent show girl group Shorty King.
You, Cosmic Girls, are not only stuck in the middle and get bullied by both sides, you also get beaten in the middle!
Chen Chen did not expect that Jin Shidai would have the nerve to say that they were playing with the time difference under such circumstances. He could only suspect that he had other ideas that he was unwilling to reveal now.

However, the Korean entertainment industry is already very busy in May and June, and there is no way to avoid it. Sometimes, losing with dignity is also a strategy.

……

"It's so lively outside, why don't you guys come out to make some fun?" Chen Chen lifted the Red Velvet captain's smooth chin provocatively, "Useless little thing, have you been arranged by the company to make way for the new girl group?"

"I don't know. If you have nothing to do, you can go to the bathroom and turn on the faucet yourself. Don't bother me."

Bae Joo-hyun impatiently moved Chen Chen's hand away. This man had harassed her many times because he was bored.

"I'm really bored." Chen Chen clung to his girlfriend tightly, "In April, there was still the blushing puberty that I could enjoy, but in May, there is really nothing!"

"Hey, speaking of this," Bae Joo Hyun suddenly had something to say, "When Blushing Puberty disbanded, didn't you think of bringing someone to C headquarters?"

"Well it's hard to say no, but after understanding it I gave up."

Chen Chen naturally had ideas, but the ideas came and went quickly.

"Why?" Bae Joo Hyun asked curiously, "Blushing puberty is so powerful, you shouldn't give up so easily when you have the chance to get it."

"Who is so good at blushing puberty?" Chen Chen asked the question lightly.

"Lead singer." Bae Joo Hyun answered without hesitation: "A lead singer with outstanding personal characteristics is a treasure in every group."

"No problem, I also think it's the lead singer." Chen Chen shook his head helplessly, "Not just me, everyone thinks it's the lead singer, so other people's contracts won't give you a chance at all, it was locked before the group disbanded."

"So that's how it is." Pei Zhuxuan curled her lips, "No wonder you never mentioned this."

"Why bring this up? Of course we have to do things secretly." Chen Chen snorted, "If it works, we'll show it off. If it fails, we'll just pretend we never did it!"

"Wow~ That seems to make sense." Bae Joo Hyun continued, "But the other member of Blushing Puberty should have a chance, right? Didn't he try?"

"It's not a good idea to try, especially at this point in time." Chen Chen explained to his girlfriend in detail, "After the two of them separate, everyone will automatically divide them into two opposing sides. If C headquarters accepts her, it will be forced to enter the battlefield of public opinion." "C headquarters is naturally not afraid of entering the battlefield, but what can be gained from entering the battlefield is worth considering."

"First of all, you have to win. You go into battle to win, there's absolutely no problem with that!"

"But if this member wants to win over that lead singer, the price she has to pay is too high. She needs to be given an excellent lead singer, right? She needs to be given good music, right? She needs to be given an environment where she won't be affected, right?"

"Even because the difference in commercial value between the two is so huge, even if all of the above is achieved, there is still a high chance of losing this battle."

"This is a 100% sure-fire way to lose money. It's heartbreaking to watch."

"I will be dragged into the battlefield of public opinion and a lot of resources will be wasted. Even if I am a big landlord, I can't lose my family's surplus food like this." Chen Chen said with a little heartache, "I don't want it. I really can't afford it."

"If C headquarters can't afford it," Bae Joo Hyun suddenly felt a little sad, "I'm afraid it will be very difficult for this sister to get a contract with an entertainment company."

"This is reality." Chen Chen didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only put his arm around her shoulders and pat her, "Let her settle down on her own for a few years. After a few years, there should be an entertainment company willing to offer her a contract."

"..."

After Bae Joo-hyun fell silent, Chen Chen didn't know what to say for a moment and stood there at a loss as to what to do.

After all, it was because he always harassed his girlfriend that this conversation happened, and this conversation made his girlfriend a little unhappy. Chen Chen was fully responsible for this.

"Ding~"

Unexpectedly, the text message alert tone on the mobile phone became a savior in this low-pressure environment. Chen Chen quickly picked up the phone to check it out.

"Yoho~" Chen Chen yelled, and hurriedly urged his girlfriend to come and watch, "The fun is coming!"

"Ah, this." Pei Zhuxuan was stunned after watching it. After a while, she asked, "Does President Park miss the stage again?"

The text message was from Park Jin-young, who invited Chen Chen to participate in the production of his next single.

"It should be." Chen Chen had nothing but admiration for this. "This uncle's love for the stage is definitely no less than any other artist in the industry. Now that the company has some free time and the children at home have grown up a little, it's time for him to stand on the stage he loves most again."

"So do you want to go out and play?" asked Bae Joo-hyun.

"No, it's very troublesome for me to participate in the production. If the production is too good, there will be trouble. If the production is bad, there will also be trouble." Chen Chen refused firmly, and also gave Pei Zhuxuan some interesting education, "To use a Chinese idiom, that situation is called riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off."

"Who is Tiger?" Bae Joo Hyun asked confusedly, "JYP senior?"

"Public opinion is a tiger." Chen Chen explained: "It will be held captive and unable to get down."

"Oh." Pei Zhuxuan puffed her lips in a naive way, and said dissatisfiedly: "If you don't participate, what fun things will come? It has nothing to do with you!"

"Although I'm not involved in the production, I can go on stage and have fun." Chen Chen spread his arms proudly, "Brother Zhenying will always need a companion."

“You miss the stage too?!”

Bae Joo-hyun's eyes suddenly widened and her expression suddenly became lively.
