Chapter 86: Chat with Director Jiang + Late-Night Live Broadcast...
The excitement within the fandom is one thing.
However, it is clear that Han Shangxi did not come to the company mainly for this matter today.
Arguments between fans, as long as they don't go too far, generally don't need a response.
Even if things go too far, like they are right now, there's really no need for idols to personally respond.
At most, the company will get scolded.
However, since Director Jiang is at the company today, Han Shangxi also needs to make an appearance.
Her main purpose in coming here was to meet Director Jiang.
On his way to Director Jiang's office, Han Shangxi unsurprisingly ran into Li Chuxia.
"Unnie, is the director available now?"
Over this period of time, Han Shangxi and Li Chuxia have become much closer, which can be seen from the tone of their voices.
She has always trusted Li Chuxia, a senior who has been with the branch since before her debut.
"Yes, Director Jiang came today specifically for Director Han."
Li Chuxia looked at Shang Xi as he arrived and a slight smile appeared on her face.
In her reply, she directly revealed the information to Han Sang-hee.
That was also Director Jiang's idea.
Director Jiang has officially resigned, earlier than expected.
It will be earlier than Li Chuxia expected.
However, this doesn't seem surprising.
During this period, Han Shangxi had almost completely taken over the affairs of Director Jiang.
Director Jiang also devoted most of his time and energy to matters outside the branch.
Leading Shang Xi toward the office, Li Chuxia recalled the conversation between Director Jiang and herself.
"Do you want to stay here, or come with me?"
“Director-nim, I plan to stay here. You don’t lack subordinates like me who aren’t particularly bright…”
"Okay, I understand. You don't need to belittle yourself to make excuses."
"Inside."
"When you see Shangxi again, remember to call her Director Han."
Don't let trivial matters affect you.
"Inside."
Jiang Suxian still cared a lot about the subordinates she personally recruited into the YG branch. Since they didn't intend to leave with her, she would give them a few words of advice in the end.
Li Chuxia understood the meaning behind what this person was saying.
Even if you're very close to someone, or they're very young, you still need to be more formal at work.
An improper attitude is always a source of trouble.
Sanghee, who can now be called Director Han in many ways, is never as simple and gentle as she appears on the surface.
After entering the office, Han Shangxi did not mention what had happened that day, but instead shifted the conversation to ETE's future development plans.
Director Jiang is one of the few people who genuinely hope that ETE will continue to thrive.
Han Shangxi was well aware of this.
Therefore, most of the time, she wouldn't directly oppose some of Wei's ideas.
Even though she was sometimes offended.
"Recently, the president has been hoping that ETE can pave the way for the younger generation."
However, I did not agree to all of them.
Even if possible, it would depend on whether those individuals fit the tone of ETE's current activities.
Whether it's ETE as a whole or the individual members, they will maintain their established direction and will not change in order to accommodate their juniors in order to please the CEO.
I think ETE is ultimately a group that exists because of its director.
No matter what happens, things should develop as originally planned.
Changing course midway will only result in something incongruous and ineffective.
Han Shangxi felt that he wasn't a particularly kind person when it came to his younger relatives.
At least she probably wouldn't go out of her way to write songs specifically to promote younger artists.
It's also impossible for ETE to cooperate with the company in promoting younger employees.
Whoever's pairing it is, they'll feel sorry for them.
That's always been the case.
"As for ETE's future, as I previously told Director Nim, the end of the world tour will also mark the beginning of ETE's second official comeback this year."
ETE needs to clearly define its position, both externally and internally.
This time, there will be some minor changes in style.
Like you, Director, I don't really like some comments that focus on ETE apparel. A second comeback will completely dispel those thoughts.
After the comeback ends, ETE will also enter a team hiatus, as agreed upon with the members.
The subsequent developments will primarily revolve around the personal activities of Minjin and Wisdom…
Upon hearing this, Jiang Suxian raised an eyebrow and, unusually, interrupted Shang Xi.
"Won't you come back one more time?"
The fact that Sanghee will not be making a solo comeback for the next two years was indeed somewhat unexpected for Jiang Suxian.
After all, her solo comeback is beneficial to her in every way.
"Inner, frequent comebacks are a challenge for songwriting."
I want to show the public ETE and Sanghee at their best.
Moreover, upon closer reflection, I realized that I never considered being a student as my primary focus throughout my student years, and my understanding of school was rather vague.
Since I don't plan to continue my studies after graduating from university, I still want to have the opportunity to devote some of my energy to that during the last little part of my student life.
Han Sang-hee did not forget the promise she made to Lee Young-cheol.
However, the main reason she doesn't have any plans for a solo comeback is because she needs to rest.
In the end, it was herself who was constantly being drained.
After ETE's second comeback this year, regardless of whether the results are good or bad, the group's performance will remain stagnant for some time to come.
After listening to Han Shangxi's plan, Director Jiang simply nodded to indicate that he understood.
However, she came here today not just to talk about the future with Han Sang-hee.
She recommended an overseas medical team to Han Shangxi, saying that even if a complete recovery was not possible, it could be improved by using a professional hearing aid system.
Jiang Suxian bringing these things out at this time can also be seen as a reminder from Li Rongzhe.
Even with hearing aids, setup takes time. This means that Han Sang-hee will be unsuitable to appear in public for a period of time.
During this period, Han Shangxi naturally focused his energy on his role as a director.
Han Shangxi knew this and readily accepted it.
The conversation seemed to have run out of things to say at this point.
However, in the end, Jiang Suxian still fulfilled her duties as a director.
"Sanghee and that guy are doing more than just acting, right?"
"Inside."
In front of Jiang Suxian, Han Shangxi had no intention of denying anything.
"Back then..."
Well, there's nothing to explain. My attitude remains the same as before.
Looking back now, however, Sanghee was a miracle I witnessed during my time at YG.
Jiang Suxian probably never imagined things would turn out this way.
Just as she doesn't regret launching Han Sang-hee as the core of ETE, she also doesn't regret using and suppressing Han Sang-hee in the past.
She admires Han Sang-hee, but when it comes to doing things, she makes sure the other person is under control.
"This is my business card. You can contact me if you want to make it public at any time."
Jiang Suxian's new role is the chairperson of a news agency.
After going through many twists and turns, she still chose to become someone who worked for Li Rongzhe.
Han Shangxi took the business card that Jiang Suxian placed on the table, glanced at it briefly, and then looked back at the person in front of him.
"If there is an opportunity to make it public, I will contact you, the board member."
She didn't make her statement completely, as usual.
Her eyebrows curved, and she wore a perfectly timed smile.
It was almost 4 a.m. when everything was over.
With her drowsiness completely gone, Han Shangxi looked at the message her boyfriend had sent her on her phone and decided to go to the recording studio.
However, she went to her own recording studio and did not disturb Kwon Ji-yong's work.
Although he didn't seem to mind her interruption.
After organizing his work in the recording studio, Han Shangxi suddenly felt a little bored.
Good evening!
Oh no, I should say it's morning now.
This was a surprise live stream! kkk
It seems logically sound to choose to start a personal live stream at this time because one is bored.
Good morning, unnie!
—Oh my god, is this the benefit of staying up late?
—Sanghee! [heart][heart][heart]
—Is Unnie alone today?
—Are you working again?
"Today is a solo live stream."
Because I'm the only one in this recording studio right now.
It was still on the sofa, but this time only Han Shangxi appeared on the screen.
She only did this live stream to chat with her fans; there wasn't any specific topic.
—It suddenly started airing!
—Is this a recording studio?
—Is Sanghee wearing no makeup? She looks so pretty.
The bullet comments on the phone refreshed so quickly that Han Shangxi could hardly catch the specific content of each flashing comment.
Just like idols never perceive the affection emanating from a single fan, but rather the love represented by the entire group.
However, this person has the personality to find topics to talk about on their own.
"ETE is about to start its world tour, everyone!"
—Congratulations on your world tour!
—The sound suddenly became louder
—If I remember correctly, this is EE's first world tour, no wonder the kid is so excited kkk
"I was indeed quite excited."
Happy 22nd birthday, Xi Mei!
—We at Shangxi don't need to pay attention to what some anti-fans say. Those people are all crazy.
—Sanghee, I managed to snag tickets for your birthday! And they're even in the front row!
—How can someone be so lucky? I clicked in and there were no tickets left. [crying emoji]
—Were the world tour dates specially arranged?
"The dates for the world tour? That was officially confirmed after discussions with the company."
The last day of the Seoul leg of the World Tour happened to be Sanghee's birthday.
It seems to be a very meaningful thing for both the fans and Sanghee herself.
However, Han Shangxi did not mention her birthday much during the live broadcast.
According to the plan, trouble is likely to occur around my next birthday.
It's true that the last show of the tour in Seoul was her birthday, but it was also the start of the third filming of "We Got Married".
Just thinking about it makes me feel like something big is going to happen.
Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore.
Han Shangxi pulled his thoughts away from the unknown future and focused most of his attention on the current live broadcast.
"Aigoo, I've come this far not only because of luck, but also because of your support."
—Why the sudden confession? [facepalm]
—With Sanghee looking at me like that, it's hard for me not to take it seriously.
Thank you.
We have seen every bit of love for ETE and Sanghee.
Sanghee's sudden and continuous declarations of love immediately reminded some fans of the recent fan wars.
Although she didn't actually mean it that way.
—Sanghee probably saw all those comments, right? [touch]
—It's okay, we only trust Sanghee.
What to do when you're even a tiny bit touched?
"Looking back now, it feels like my training life and debut were just yesterday."
"It is my good fortune to be able to appear before you."
"I will continue to work as an idol from now on."
"Idol is Sanghee's eternal identity."
For most idols, pandering to fans is a perfectly natural and easy thing to do.
This is no exception for Sanghee.
This person has always been good at winning over fans with the truth.
—Is this a promise? TT
—You suddenly said something very sentimental, and I almost cried.
—As someone who watched EE debut, I can say that we will always support EE and Sanghee.
—Our child has had a really tough journey. [crying]
Let's continue walking together from now on.
"Don't cry."
Noticing that the comments were gradually becoming sentimental, Han Shangxi decided to pull them back a bit.
After all, she goes live to make her fans happy, not to make them feel bad.
She skillfully steered the conversation toward future events.
Fans have more expectations and curiosity about Sanghee's future activities than Han Sang-hee herself.
—Sanghee, have you ever considered pursuing a career as an actress?
—That being said, it's really a shame that Sanghee's face isn't used for acting.
"Acting?"
"I had no intention of acting."
"Aren't Minjin and Jihye, those two friends, trying their hand at acting recently?"
We hope that if you are interested, you will support us!
Han Shangxi replied to the comments that he could.
During this live stream, the only thing Sanghee denied was that she couldn't act.
As for other things, such as whether the pairing is real or not, and whether EE will return this year...
These need to be kept secret.
"Whether it's an idol or life, it's all ongoing."
Bye-bye, see you next time!
Just as abruptly as the live stream started, it also ended abruptly.
Han Shangxi waved his hand and promptly ended the live stream.
The reason is simple: she has a schedule to complete today, and it's almost time to prepare.
After visiting her boyfriend next door who was working hard, Han Shangxi's workday officially began.
For artists, staying up all night occasionally is an acceptable thing.
Maintaining a good working condition is the most basic requirement.
While Han Sang-hee continued her schedule, the forum was also paying attention to her live stream that had just ended.
[Li Tao, is the reason why Sister Shang was pandering to fans during her late-night live stream because of the recent fan war?]
LZ: Although I have to admit that this woman has a talent for charming fans, it is really strange that she suddenly started a live broadcast without any prior notice.
The only major event recently has been the fan wars.
I guess this woman was touched by her fans' actions, so she started a live stream.
3L: Let's all say, please don't overinterpret it, OK?
4L: Shang Jie has been subjected to constant scrutiny and microscopic speculation by various fans.
11L: Those nonsensical words are indeed a bit excessive.
15L: To be honest, isn't this yet another piece of evidence that Sister Shang is deeply obsessed with the fan circle?
23L: Okay, okay, in a little while I'll start scolding Sister Shang for provoking me again.
26L: Shang Jie's fans are only looking forward to Shang Jie's next world tour.
33L: I suddenly remembered what Sister Shang mentioned about personal support last time. I'm curious to ask Sister Shang, did you really do it?
37L: No need for Shang Jiesi to answer this kkk I've been watching before, I can only say it will definitely be very lively.
41L: You Shang Jie fans are really spoiling her. Shang Jie is in love, and the fans not only spoil her but also provide support.
44L: Go ahead and talk to her, but there's no official status, just ignore it.
48L: This kind of mentality probably comes from someone who's learning from their seniors, right? [facepalm]
49L: What you said upstairs suddenly reminded me of a restaurant that had the same positive attitude a couple of years ago.
55L: Drag all the riddle tellers out.
58L: 55L Are you a new fan? kkk As long as it's not made public, you can selectively ignore it, or even just write songs. Isn't this the standard mentality of a Dragon fan sister?
67L: A Dragon fan passing by, speechless. Can you please stop constantly shifting the focus to Dragon fans whenever something happens? Dragon fans are busy, thank you. We weren't the main participants in this argument, please stop.
71L: I'm genuinely curious whether Shang Jie's fans will continue to dote on her the day she officially announces her relationship.
74L: This is probably still a long way off. This girl is only 22 years old.
78L: Who knows, maybe one day Sister Shang will get so love-struck that she'll just announce her concert!
81L: If that happens, the fans will probably just go on stage and start attacking us.
83L: If that day ever comes, Sister Shang should just retire from the entertainment industry.
85L: Wait, why are they criticizing me for taking out a loan in advance again...?
88L: Has everyone forgotten who the biggest beneficiary was when things were settled at the beginning of the year?
Sister Xin Shang's love-obsessed nature is less appealing than the idea that she's a time traveler.
89L: Well, let's just say Shang Jie is love-struck.
93L: To be honest, Sister Shang is very mindful of boundaries when balancing work and life.
She has always been very clear that she has relied on her fans a lot to get to where she is today, and she has always been grateful to her fans.
Therefore, I guess this person will never publicly acknowledge their relationship until they retire from the entertainment industry.
95L: This is so Shang Jie kkk
100L: Oh my, are we already talking about Sister Shang's retirement? Since you're so interested in Sister Shang, let's take a look at her achievements! [Image]
And ETE's first world tour officially begins on May 10th, stay tuned!

"Zhilong, why do you think that guy doesn't like me?"
After getting drunk, Jung Yoon-jin earnestly confided her inner doubts to a friend of the person she liked, forgetting honorifics and overlooking the obscure look in Kwon Ji-yong's eyes.
Perhaps the relationship between the three of them isn't too crowded?
In the early stages, the female lead is straightforward with the puppy; later, it becomes a fierce battleground between heroes.
