Peninsula: Start with the nephew of the soy sauce bottle

Chapter 32

After Friday's Music Bank and Sunday's Inkigayo, Park Kyung Wook proved himself again.

He won three first prizes in his debut, and the media all said that the strongest newcomer of the year had been born ahead of schedule!

It is not something that ordinary singers can achieve by winning the first place in a week. Each singing program has different scoring standards. Without all-round advantages, it is impossible to win the first place in the three major shows.

Therefore, the media's claims may be exaggerated, but they are definitely not unreasonable.

09 was a year of explosive emergence of new groups.

Whether it is After school, 2ne1 and 4minute who have already debuted, or T-ara and beast who are about to debut.

All are eligible to compete for the Rookie of the Year.

Park Kyung Wook is of course no exception. From the perspective of sales, music performance and national popularity, he has no obvious shortcomings.

He will be considered for the Golden Record and Seoul Music Newcomer Awards early next year.

After a week of singing, Park Jingxu dragged his exhausted body back to the company.

The reason why I didn't go home directly was probably because I was a little bored staying at home.

At least there are friends he has become familiar with in the company, so he won't feel lonely.

Sure enough, not long after returning to the company, his cheap relative showed up with a large group of people.

"Dafa, Jingxu! Three of the best rookies of the year! This time we must treat you!"

Before entering the door, I heard Yin Bumei's loud voice shouting loudly outside.

Park Jingxu, who was lying on the ground tiredly, didn't want to pay attention to this guy and pretended not to hear him playing with his mobile phone.

However, how could these women let him go so easily, they rushed to him one after another, even bolder ones like Wu Xiabao directly took his mobile phone away.

In desperation, he had to face these idle guys.

"It seems I was the one who invited you to the hot pot last time. Why can't you all fulfill your responsibilities as nuna and let me enjoy being a younger brother for once?"

"But we don't have money! And Jingxu, you are a strong man with album sales of [-] yuan a week, so you will definitely not be short of money."

Wu Xiabao said this confidently, and only she could say this.Because she was Park Jingxu's only relative of the same age present, her attitude was much more casual than the others.

Park Kyung-wook is not a person who will be polite to her.

"Ah! Wu Xiabao! You and I are the ones here who have invited the most people. You actually have the nerve to say this?"

"I have invited you too, but you have to empty my wallet every time."

"Yet every time most of the food goes into your stomach, you never treat yourself badly."

Park Kyung-wook sneered and told the truth.

Wu Xiabao's eyes wandered, and he said in a low voice.

"That's because your body is growing, and eating more is a reflection of how well your body absorbs it."

"That's why you're so fat."

"Ai Yigu! Jing Star, what did you say to a lady!"

The Indian princess quickly covered her chest. Although she was only 14 years old, she was already more developed than many people.

It was precisely because of Wu Xia Bao's actions that others rolled their eyes.

Park Kyung-wook, who had been wronged, roared with grief and indignation.

"I'm talking about my stomach! What are you thinking about!"

Of course the others knew this was the case, but it was fun to tease Park Jingxu, so they all acted like they didn't believe it.

"It's hard to say... Jingxu usually looks lustful when he looks at Xia Rong." These are the words of Yin Bumei, the rumor maker.

"It's not impossible. Jingxu and Xia Rong are close friends and have a lot of contact with each other. It's normal to have such thoughts." These are the words of reasoning analyst Park Chulong.

"I think what Oppa Kyung Wook said is true. Based on my understanding of Oppa, he can't be honest!" These are the words of Park Ji Hyo, the barb manger.

"Okay, the joke ends here. You just want me to treat you, and I agree!"

Pu Jingxu noticed that these people were getting further and further away from each other, so he quickly stopped them.

After hearing that he agreed to the treat, several girls cheered.

It's just that they were too happy too early, Park Jingxu is not such a person who gives in easily.

The sly smile on Park Jingxu's face disappeared in an instant, and he spoke unhurriedly.

"But I have a condition. Each of you has to demonstrate a personal talent and let others present to score. The person with the highest score will have the right to decide the store and the menu; No. 2 will have the right to decide part of the menu;"

"Where's No. 4?" Wu Xiabao asked with concern.

Park Jingxu glanced at the culprit and said calmly.

"The third and fourth places only have the right to taste, so don't get too happy yet."

The joy of the four people was written on their faces. Seeing this, Pu Jingxu immediately poured cold water on them.

"Don't think there is no punishment. The so-called right to taste means that you can only take one bite of each dish."

"That's it..." Pu Chulong muttered, she didn't have any talent, so her score would definitely not be high.But the girl is so greedy, is she going to perform a floor split?

"How can such a fun thing be without my Unnie? I'll call her and call her." The little clever Park Jihyo rolled his eyes and thought of a good idea - if there are more people, the chance of being at the bottom will be reduced. ?
At this moment, Yin Bumei had a flash of inspiration and instantly understood Park Jihyo's intention, and then actively suggested it.

"I recently met a trainee sister named Na Eun, I might as well call her over!"

"It's up to you. Re-formulate the rules and divide them into the upper half and the lower half according to the ranking of the number of people. The upper half will receive rewards, as mentioned just now, in descending order. The lower the ranking of the lower half, the more dishes they have the right to taste. The more, and the right to taste is designated by the person above.”

Park Kyung-wook has nothing to do, just as Wu Xiabao said, high sales will also bring him a good income.He doesn't have to wait a few years to settle the settlement like the girl group, it can almost be said that he can get the money at the end of the month.

He could afford even a palace banquet, and one or two more would have no impact at all.

What's more, he also likes excitement. Winning several first prizes really requires celebration.

So the two of them hurriedly went out to contact each other. When Wu Xiarong saw that both of them were going to pick up people, she was not to be outdone, and the girl with the hidden social butterfly attribute ran out quickly after her.

In an instant, only Park Chulong and Park Jingxu were left in the huge practice room.

This was a rare moment of solitude for them these days.

After all, when the surroundings became lively, it would be difficult for there to be only two people.

Although the atmosphere was dull, neither of them seemed to feel uncomfortable.

It's not impossible to stay like this until the end of time.

However, Park Jingxu had something to say, so he spoke first.

"Chorongnu, how have you been practicing recently? Is your life as a trainee going well?"

"Nai! Thanks to Jingxu and everyone, simple practice is not so boring and has become a lot more interesting."

A heartfelt smile appeared on the girl's face when she said this, obviously from the bottom of her heart.

However, what Park Jingxu wanted to see was not superficial emotions, so he continued to explore deeply.

"Would you be a little bit unwilling to be angry if you failed in the selection of the new girl group this time?"

"If you don't give in, you will definitely have it. This can be regarded as an anxiety caused by age."

After all, she is 19 years old. Apart from this new girl group project, it can be said that JYP will not have any debut plans in the short term.

So it is foreseeable that she will still need to waste a few years.

My sister is already in her twenties by then, how many more years will she have left to be active on the stage?
Hearing this, Park Jingxu nodded. The problems faced by Nu Na can be said to be a microcosm of the majority of trainees on the peninsula.

There are few debut opportunities, but there are many trainees.

You have to compete all the time, and there are only two options for failure.

Either continue to hold back for a few more years and then fight for the company's next project.

Or terminate the contract and change jobs, and see if I can catch the last train to debut with another company.

"The friends I play with now are much younger than me. Except for Pumi, who is only two years younger than me, I, you and Xia Rong are all four or five years younger than me, and Jihyo is six years younger than me. Yes. Sometimes I feel that I am really old, and maybe I will be eliminated by the times.”

Park Jingxu looked sideways and noticed the sad look on Nai Yinnu's face.This is a sentiment never shown when people gather together.

But because it's Park Kyung Wook, the girl feels free to show her vulnerable side.

Arriving alone in Seoul, a city she was unfamiliar with, Park Chorong naturally felt hesitant and helpless in her heart.

Especially those trainees who like to bully students taught her a lesson.

Seoul has everything, everything you want is here. As long as you have the ability and just a chance, your dreams can easily come true.

But at the same time, all this is not easy to obtain, and obstacles in life are everywhere.

Men will discriminate against women, locals will discriminate against outsiders, and city people will discriminate against country people.

There is no absolute fairness here. People form cliques and go through the back door, and honest people will only be squeezed out.

The competition here is extremely fierce, with people leaving and coming in every day.

The relationship between people is far less simple and easy to understand than the small town where I live.

The person who smiles at you on the surface may be the person stabbing you in the back.

This is also a cold and heartless city, everyone will only use interests to maintain relationships.

Although Park Chorong is a strong girl, everything has its limits.

Just when she couldn't bear it anymore and was on the verge of collapse, Park Jingxu's appearance gave her support.

That's why she won't hide anything in front of Park Kyung Wook.

She cherishes this relationship.

In fact, the same is true for Park Kyung Wook.

He admires this strong and independent Nu Na very much, and he will never be stingy if there is a chance to help.

But what is more important right now is to comfort the other party who is gradually depressed.

"There's no need to belittle yourself, you're actually still young. This time I met an idol who can truly be called an older idol during my singing career."

"Ah!? I've watched Jingxu play songs. Who are you talking about?"

Facing the girl's curiosity, Park Jingxu did not show off.

He told the story with Brown Eyed Girls, including Narsha's funny performance, without saving face for the other party.

Park Jingxu directly imitated the other party's expression and movements.

Park Chulong laughed so hard that she couldn't stand up straight after reading it.

"Is that Nu Na really that funny?"

She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands and couldn't help asking.

Maybe Park Kyung Wook's performance is better than his predecessor? .
"There is no exaggeration. If this is not an idol, I think she will become a good gagman (comedian)."

Park Kyung-wook nodded affirmatively.

Sister Narsha has a natural talent for being funny in variety shows. This is not deliberately created. Some people are just like this. When he does the same thing, it is a hundred times funnier than others.

"I really want to get to know this senior." Park Chulong was somewhat envious of this senior's optimistic and positive attitude towards life, and he also had the courage to use his age to make fun of himself.

"There will be a chance. Senior, I can't do anything for the time being, but there is a trainee who I think will get along well with you."

Park Kyung Wook did not make a promise.Because I don’t know the other person very well, I can only make some requests after meeting him on various occasions and getting closer.

He was very happy to see Park Chulong making friends. After all, no matter how good his relationship with her was, he couldn't always be with her.

This Nu's slow and introverted personality made him quite worried about the future of the other party.

The interpersonal relationships in the idol circle are originally weak, and with this kind of personality, if Park Kyung Wook debuts, he can imagine that he will have no friends except the members.

Although seniors cannot introduce Park Cho-ryong, trainees who have not debuted do not have this restriction.

What's more, the two parties are equal in status, and more importantly, they are similar in age and situation. Pu Jingxu thinks that the two will become good relatives.

Thinking of the news Sunny told him last time, Park Jingxu recalled it carefully before telling him.

"I heard that Sha Mao has a trainee who is the same age as you this year, and this company, like us, has no intention of launching a new girl group in the short term. So the situation you two are facing is the same."

Last time I heard Sunny mention such a person, he cared a little more about Park Chulong.

The girl's name seems to be Bae Zhuhyun, and like Park Chorong, she is not a local.But his background is relatively good, at least he is from Daegu City.

The gossiping Sunny thought that Park Jingxu had other thoughts, and even mentioned that the other party was very beautiful.

But Park Jingxu didn't care about this at all. He paid attention to this girl simply because he wanted to help Park Chulong find a relative.

It's not that Oh Ha-young, Yin Bo-mei and the others are not good, but after all, they are young and can't get along as casually as relatives of the same age.

Park Chulong seems to be deeply influenced by his father and is a very traditional person.

According to the people of the Peninsula who have a well-organized mentality, she would definitely act like a big sister when it comes to younger children, and would not be able to let them go in many cases.

Even Park Kyung-wook, who has the best relationship, is no exception to this.

So when Park Chulong heard that there were girls in similar situations, he couldn't help but express a hint of curiosity.

"Jinjia? So there are people my age who are also chasing dreams..."

"If you are willing, I can introduce her to you."

This is also a good thing for Pei Zhuxuan. If you put yourself in his shoes, you will know that her situation is the same as that of Park Chulong, not much better.

So having a friend in a similar situation to rely on and encourage each other is also the motivation to persevere. This is a win-win for both of them.

"If possible, I really want to get to know this friend..." Pu Chulong did not refuse.

The fact that these words came out of Park Chulong, who was not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, showed that she really wanted to get to know the other person, and it was not because she couldn't bear to brush off Park Jingxu's kindness.

Park Jingxu nodded and promised to find an opportunity to contact the other party as soon as possible.

As soon as the words were spoken, the sadness on Pu Chulong's face lightened a lot.

However, Park Jingxu is not so optimistic, which does not fundamentally solve the problem.

Park Chorong's worries about age are just worries caused by her unsuccessful debut.

If you want to solve the problem from the root, you still have to start with the debut.

Obviously this is something that the current JYP cannot provide.

This was also the purpose of his conversation, because he felt that the other party might have the idea of ​​leaving JYP.There were already signs of this from the last conversation they had when they were alone.

In addition, Pu Mei told him in private that Park Chulong sometimes browsed information about other brokerage companies online, which confirmed that he was not just imagining it out of thin air.

So he readily agreed to Park Ji Hyo and Yoon Bo Mi's proposal just now.

The pile of announcements from now on will make Park Jingxu busy for a period of time, and if the delay continues, something might happen.

So just get rid of everyone else, now is the best time to deal with this matter,
Originally, he planned to spend a lot of time to get the summer bag away, but this guy ran away by himself, which saved a lot of effort.

After laying the groundwork for a long time, Park Jingxu just started asking straight to the point.

"So Nu Na, do you still have thoughts of leaving JYP?"

"Jingxu, you discovered it..."

"Anu is not the kind of person who can hide his worries." Park Jingxu was very loyal and did not betray Bumei.

"I have indeed thought about it." Pu Chulong admitted generously. "But I couldn't bear to part with these guys, so I gave up."

"If they are willing to advance and retreat together with you, then they won't really leave, right? Then my uncle will have a headache."

Park Jingxu made a joke to liven up the atmosphere.

Unexpectedly, he met Pu Chulong's serious eyes.

"Won't leave."

It was also the first time for Park Jingxu to see such a serious Park Chorong.

The usually cute milky voice sounded extremely sincere at this moment.

"Because there is Jingxu here."

"Cough cough!"

Park Jingxu coughed twice and turned his head away pretending to be uncomfortable.

He was careless!

Frankly speaking, Park Jingxu is definitely not a shy person, but at this moment, his face became a little hot.

He didn't expect Nu Na, who was usually quite calm, to say such words, and he accidentally fell into the trap.

Park Jingxu, who turned his head away, happened to be facing the door of the practice room.

Through the glass window above, the situation outside gave him a headache.

Because I don’t know when, several deformed faces were plastered on the window glass which was not very big!
