Chapter 30: Two Seniors and Juniors with a Strong Sense of Boundaries...
"That's because..."
GD is my senior.
The deliberately drawn-out tone clearly indicated that Shang Xi was not answering seriously at all.
Actually, this answer is rude.
Everyone present was Han Sang-hee's senior.
But nobody cares about that.
The way Sang-hee answered actually suited the tastes of these producers.
After all, this is very real.
Being consistently mild-mannered and lacking any aggression will not earn you the respect of the people here.
In other words, only when you respect yourself will others respect you.
Han Sang-hee certainly has the right to refuse to answer questions he doesn't want to answer.
After a few moments of silence, the room instantly returned to its lively atmosphere.
The producers exchanged a few playful banter, their attention not really on Han Shangxi.
That issue is now considered closed.
Originally, they just wanted to find an excuse to bring 37 and Shangxi closer together, since they had been away on business for many days.
However, things won't go that easily.
They managed to screw over choice37, but they also got a cold shoulder from Shangxi.
Ahem, they were rather rude.
The producers could see the guilty conscience in each other's eyes.
The room was no longer silent when Han Shangxi had just entered. Everyone began to work on their unfinished tasks.
Waiji is not a small company, and it has the ability to provide these producers with independent recording studios.
This thing does actually exist.
It's just that they're more used to being together.
When necessary, they will also work in their own private recording studio.
After watching the scene, Kwon Ji-yong rested his cheek on one hand and edited a message with the other, trying to see if his brothers' stupid actions had affected him.
The way you address someone of the opposite sex, especially a friend of the opposite sex who is in a relationship, is inherently a very delicate matter.
If you insist on using "senior" in a rigid way, you'll end up being accused of being distant and disrespectful to your seniors. If you say "brother" instead, it will turn into a scene of massive teasing and ridicule in this situation.
These guys didn't use their brains; somehow they just joined in the commotion.
Kwon Ji-yong reflected on himself for a moment.
Seeing that everyone had started working, Han Shangxi quickly got into work mode as well.
As for the remaining few people in the recording studio, their thoughts were complicated and conflicted, and they felt guilty and remorseful.
That has nothing to do with her.
For her, these matters were already resolved.
Why do you always refer to G-Dragon as "senior"?
After immersing himself in his own world, Han Sang-hee unusually pondered this question he had never considered before.
Before she could come to a conclusion, the flashing light of her phone alerted her to the arrival of this unread message.
Looking at his senior from the side, Han Shangxi got the answer from the other person's face, but did not immediately check his phone.
Alright, now there's no need to guess, it's a message from this senior.
“Mianne”.
The apology became clearer as the other person's chair drew closer.
Kwon Ji-yong's apology was swift and to the point.
For a moment, Han Shangxi was at a loss for how to react.
It seems this senior has nothing to apologize for?
However, these were only Shang Xi's thoughts; he didn't show them on his face.
She nodded slightly, as if in response to what he had said.
Han Sang-hee subconsciously overlooked Kwon Ji-yong's presence and role in the incident that had just occurred.
Perhaps this is one of the few times that Zhu Meng has shown favoritism towards his favorite idol.
Seeing his senior colleague still engrossed in his work, Han Shangxi immediately abandoned his thoughts on the question from earlier and began to focus on his work as well.
At this time, work is the most important thing.
The group's next single will be produced by Ji-hye and Min-jin in rotation.
Han Shangxi had no intention of intervening right now.
But this doesn't mean she can easily give herself a break.
During this period, Shangxi actually preferred to spend more time in the recording studio.
Without a fixed theme, Shangxi had more and more ideas for songs. All her wildest inspirations were transformed into musical notes.
Shangxi is building her own musical world.
Songwriting gradually became a habit and a passion of hers.
There are always so many things I want to express with musical notes and melodies.
Sometimes she admires the people around her.
It's a monster!
Especially the senior colleague next to her.
He has been a part of almost all of the band's songs from the beginning to the present.
His first solo album, which he produced himself, was a huge success.
This person really knows how to combine music and pop culture.
Thinking of this, Han Shangxi suddenly thought of another aspect.
In that case, this senior must also know how to win the favor of others.
Han Sang-hee's desire to learn how to gain more affection briefly made her forget Kwon Ji-yong's current situation of being suspended from solo activities.
She asked a somewhat offensive question.
"Senior, how can I gain more popularity?"
Only the two of them remained in the recording studio; the others had either gone back to catch up on sleep or had dinner.
Shangxi's voice clearly reached the recording studio.
When Kwon Ji-yong heard this, he turned his head and met Sang Hee's bright eyes.
If he didn't know her personality, he would have thought she was taking the opportunity to retaliate.
But is that really not the case?
Kwon Ji-yong hesitated for a moment, trying to find evidence in Han Sang-hee's eyes that the other party wanted to "retaliate".
Unfortunately.
Sang-hee's questions were completely heartfelt, showing no trace of the remnants of the events of the morning.
Kwon Ji-yong's gaze lingered for too long, making Sang-hee belatedly realize what question she had asked.
“Mianne”.
This time it was her turn to say those words.
Han Shangxi said, his hands clasped together, his tone tinged with frustration.
In fact, she had no intention of offending her senior when she asked this question.
Although it is said that offense is an art, it seems that Han Sang-hee has no intention of taking that course.
Maintaining a good sense of boundaries is the lesson Han Sang-hee is learning most often right now.
This applies both inside and outside the company.
"Inside."
Kwon Ji-yong childishly imitated the reactions of his juniors.
People will always have moments when they "go offline".
Besides, this person didn't say anything.
If that question had been asked six months earlier, he might have been able to provide an answer.
This child is even more dazzling than when she was a trainee.
Watching Sang-hee grow up, Kwon Ji-yong felt a sense of pride.
Perhaps initially he thought "this kid is my fan," but now Kwon Ji-yong genuinely treats him as a junior.
It's not just about the juniors that the company explicitly says it wants to promote.
He doesn't contact just anyone in private.
Kwon Ji-yong eventually gave his answer to Han Sang-hee's question.
Having been an idol for five or six years, he has accumulated some of his own experience.
Moreover, even if many people no longer trust or hate him, there are still people who continue to believe in and love him. Kwon Ji-yong has always known this.
Even if others no longer have faith in the group, he will still continue to lead the members forward together.
Han Shangxi was surprised that his senior could answer his question.
However, since her senior had answered, she naturally had to listen carefully.
This is Han Sang-hee's summary of her senior's words at a popular idol's exclusive experience sharing session.
There are some things that are not suitable for recording in a notebook, but her memory makes up for that.
Unlike the various rumors that sometimes inexplicably arise at the company, such as "the relationship between senior and junior colleagues is not harmonious" or "a senior colleague who already has a girlfriend is suspected of having an ambiguous relationship with a junior colleague."
The idols within the company mostly interact through work-related conversations. They rarely have any casual conversations.
At least that's the case with Shangxi.
The seniors are all very nice people, and the members of the group are also very nice people.
If someone were to ask Sanghee about interpersonal relationships at this time, she would only get this kind of answer.
That was indeed the case for Han Sang-hee as well.
Aside from G-Dragon and CL, whom she occasionally bumped into in the recording studio, she had very little contact with the other senior artists. When she did meet them, everyone was always very polite.
The members of the group weren't bad people to begin with, and when they got busy, they didn't have time to think about anything else.
During this period, both members have been busy reviewing and writing songs in their spare time.
After starting her personal schedule, Han Sang-hee had less time to think about and analyze those social micro-expressions than before.
When you only have 3,000 won, you feel like that's all you have.
But once you gain more, the things you used to care about no longer become so important.
Han Shangxi felt that she was not a universally loved person in real life, and most of the time, maintaining proper manners and boundaries was enough to achieve her goal.
She wasn't actually a very kind person, and she never tried to use those rules and regulations to constrain or define herself.
Han Shangxi never shared these self-analyses with anyone.
In most people's eyes, she was already almost perfect at this point.
It is the era of Sanghee's divine descent that will be fondly remembered from time to time many years later.
At this time, Sanghee was more like pure beauty, and every move she made was that of a perfect idol who fit the fantasy.
The release of the course notes has once again garnered positive public attention.
Of course, amidst the clamor of creating a god, some people are worried about the hidden dangers beneath this excitement, while others are looking forward to the moment when Sanghee's idol collapses.
They say that disgust needs no reason.
The inky black moment, which had previously lurked other idols, was now also watching Sanghee, waiting for its chance to strike.
The opposite of dislike is liking.
Those who dislike Han Sang-hee won't reveal their names, but those who like her can openly express their affection.
Of course, this does not include a certain idol who has a clear different kind of liking for Sang-hee.
"Huh? A substitute MC for a music show? Isn't that Brother **'s schedule?"
After taking the schedule from his manager, the young man looked surprised as he read the words on it.
-----------------------
Author's Note: The first male lead to appear, but during Shangxi's peak career-driven period, is officially making his entrance!
The third male lead is a pure and innocent puppy whose appearance reflects his heart; he's one of the two supporting characters (guess whoever you are, no prize required, lol).
Despite having a sunny and cheerful dog personality, it unexpectedly restrains itself when facing someone it likes.
Even an accidental touch can make my heart race for a long time.
Chapters featuring male supporting characters will be marked in the synopsis. The anti-piracy ratio will be adjusted to 70% later, so please read as needed, my little angels!
