Chapter 281 Visit and Curiosity, Shock
TWICE's practice room: "Who are our guests today?!"
"I saw the president waiting at the door to greet us earlier."
"It's rare for a customer to make the president so careful."
The girls were discussing amongst themselves, as they had started looking to expand overseas last year.
I had a lot of travel outside of South Korea this year, so I finally got two days off.
When it comes to company matters, I can still get a little gossipy.
Despite being a top-tier girl group, their daily lives are actually not that exciting.
It's all just schedules and more schedules!
Fortunately, none of the TWICE members complained, because JYP Entertainment is considered one of the more ethical companies in the K-pop scene.
Normally, the company needs to cover the expenses for trainees to become members of a girl group and debut.
After debuting, the money earned must first be used to pay off these expenses before any profit sharing is made.
Because TWICE is a phenomenal girl group, they paid off their debts a year ago.
Everyone's making money for themselves now!
In particular, they made a lot of money in a year and got a taste of success.
However, the group has a large number of members, so even if they can make money, the amount they can share is not as much as they imagined.
These days, everyone's thinking about making as much money as possible while they're still popular!
The popularity of South Korean girl groups is actually limited to a few years, and how much money they can make depends on this period.
Once the hype dies down, it will be difficult for them to make money after falling from the top of the girl group.
Lin Na-yeon and the others understood this principle very well, which is why they had no complaints.
Having spent so many years as a trainee and successfully debuted, what else could it be for if not for fame and fortune?
Because of their schedule, they basically went to sleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow every day.
They don't pay attention to most things at all!
This incident happened at the company and may be subject to a visit.
Naturally, this piqued the interest of the entire group.
Besides the girl group TWICE, other JYP groups are also being discussed.
For example, 2PM, GOT7, etc.
While these people were discussing this, Park Jin-young had already led Chen Jingyuan to the practice room.
The first group we visited was a girl group that had only been around for less than a month.
ITZY group!
The members are Hwang Ye-ji, Choi Ji-soo, Shin Ryu-jin, Shin Yoo-na, and Lee Chae-ryeong.
This girl group reached their peak upon debut, with their debut MV breaking the record for Korean groups on its first day of streaming.
They immediately topped the music charts upon their debut!
You could say he has a lot of potential!
Park Jin-young beckoned Hwang Ye-ji and other group members over, wanting to introduce them.
ITZY had received prior notice and were not surprised by the arrival of the group.
"This is Representative Chen from China."
It wasn't until Park Jin-young introduced himself that Hwang Ye-ji and the others were a beat behind.
They mainly thought Chen Jingyuan was just a follower, since he was a bit young.
Who would have thought it would be such a big shot that even the company president had to treat with caution?
Chen Jingyuan nodded and gave a brief greeting in Korean.
He can learn simple greetings quite easily.
Chen Jingyuan glanced at ITZY's dance practice and thought it was pretty good.
He still had some impression of this girl group!
I mainly came across it when I was watching videos of the music notes before I was reborn.
However, celebrities and idols are nothing new to Chen Jingyuan, so there's nothing to be surprised about.
Even South Korean girl group idols, despite their seemingly glamorous image, actually earn far less than their Chinese counterparts.
The market gap is there!
Next, led by Park Jin-young, Chen Jingyuan visited the various groups.
Chen Jingyuan was quite lucky today; all the groups were at the company and had no schedules outside of Seoul.
Unfortunately, Chen Jingyuan doesn't speak Korean, though he can chat.
I did chat with TWICE's Tzuyu for a bit longer, since it's rare to run into someone I can talk to.
But we only chatted for a couple of minutes; Chen Jingyuan isn't a second-generation chaebol.
I still have some self-control.
Even with Chen Jingyuan's current status, it wouldn't be impossible for him to engage in chaebol-like behavior in South Korea.
The problem is that there's no need for it!
Two hours passed quickly during the tour, and Chen Jingyuan did not linger.
He's here to do some research, not to flirt with female idols.
Moreover, language is a problem, and Chen Jingyuan didn't even have that thought in mind.
He is still considering the situation at JYP, which is relatively acceptable.
Park Jin-young is quite capable!
It's much better than SM Entertainment, which is facing a talent shortage.
Furthermore, there were power struggles and other issues involving Lee Soo-man, which led to SM Entertainment, which previously held a dominant position, being completely overtaken. Chen Jingyuan even had a simple lunch at the JYP cafeteria at noon.
Although many girl group idols are the focus of attention outside, Chen Jingyuan is the one they are looking at right now.
Chen Jingyuan left after finishing his meal without lingering.
JYP is just the first stop; there are still many places to investigate.
Who can blame them when Tencent has invested a significant amount in South Korea!
After Chen Jingyuan left, many members of girl groups and boy groups inquired about his identity.
It's mainly out of curiosity, and the fact that President Park Jin-young is being so cautious.
Some former group members went directly to ask Park Jin-young, since Park Jin-young has a good relationship with celebrities.
It's important to know that there aren't many boy and girl groups whose contracts have expired and who have signed with different companies.
However, JYP is a special case, as many of their clients have renewed their contracts with all members.
Even some celebrities and idols who left the company are still very grateful to Park Jin-young.
This proves that Park Jin-young is still very popular!
Even Park Jin-young himself said on a show that he treats celebrities like family.
Park Jin-young did not refuse to answer the questions, mainly because Chen Jingyuan's identity was not a secret.
Secondly, Chen Jingyuan's visit to South Korea was merely for observation, and it's uncertain whether he will rise to prominence in the future.
"A senior executive at Tencent, a Chinese mainland company."
"In addition, I am also a top billionaire with a net worth of over $30 billion."
Park Jin-young didn't hide anything and shared the information he had gathered.
After the words were spoken, the members all showed expressions of shock.
They seemed surprised that this person, who was about the same age as them, was so powerful.
Many people still have some impression of Tencent Holdings Limited.
Just like how Chinese people have some knowledge of the company Samsung Hyundai.
Most importantly, Tencent's market capitalization surpasses that of Samsung.
Chen Jingyuan's ability to become a senior executive at Tencent is no less significant than his ability to become a senior executive at Samsung.
Most importantly, this person had just graduated from university five years ago.
Originally from a poor family, they defied fate and changed their destiny in just a few years.
Chen Jingyuan's experience can only be described as a miracle.
In South Korea, many resources and industries are controlled by conglomerates, so starting a business and opening a shop is not too difficult.
The problem is that if you want to create a company that is even slightly large, it is basically a very difficult thing.
This comparison is quite striking!
Chen Jingyuan naturally had a significant impact on many male and female group members.
