Chapter 119: Jeon Ji-hyun, a studious and ambitious person



The annual meeting of New Asia Advertising was very successful, leaving a deep impression on the advertising brands that New Asia has cooperated with. As a representative of advertising actors, Kim Tae Hee sang the Korean version of the theme song "I believe" of "My Naughty Girlfriend". And Song Yi also sang the Mandarin version of "I believe" holding Kim Tae Hee's hand. The original singer of the Mandarin version of "I believe" was Fan Yichen. When "My Naughty Girlfriend" was released in Taiwan, Fan Yichen officially entered the public eye by singing this song.

Kim Tae Hee also posted her latest updates on the inschool homepage, "I am currently attending the annual meeting of Shinya Advertising. The song "I believe" is really great."

After inschool’s Valentine’s Day commercial is finished, inschool will open registration to graduates from all Korean universities. As an internal test user, Kim Hee-won has already seen the latest updates of her sister Kim Tae-hee.

Currently, the three people with the most fans on the inschool website are all from New Asia Media, namely Jun Ji-hyun, Kim Tae-hee and Song Hye-kyo. Although Kim Tae-hee's post was posted at night, Jun Ji-hyun liked and forwarded it immediately. The joint promotion of the two goddesses attracted students from various universities to comment on Kim Tae-hee's post.

"Is this advertising company so powerful? They actually hold their annual meeting in such a luxurious hotel. They are too rich, aren't they?" The comment from netizen 1L was very Korean.

"This is the Chinese advertising company that invited Song Hye Kyo and Kim Tae Hee to shoot the commercial. Xinya Advertising is also a subsidiary of Xinya Media. Kim Tae Hee is attending the annual meeting celebration of the same company. Xinya is already very rich." 2L netizen seemed to know something about the inside story.

"Did Kim Tae-hee sing "I Believe" at the annual meeting? Ahhh, is there a video of this annual meeting? I want to hear Tae-hee sing!" 3L netizen is a true fan of Kim Tae-hee.

"I heard that Jun Ji-hyun sang "I believe" when she went to China to promote "My Naughty Girlfriend". Damn, why didn't she sing it in Korea? This kind of pro-China and anti-Korea artist should be banned earlier!" 4L netizens should be anti-fans of Jun Ji-hyun. 5L netizens are mocking 4L netizens, "Kim Tae-hee is now in China to participate in activities and also sang "I believe". Do you want to ban Kim Tae-hee as well?"

Netizen 6L commented, "Kim Tae-hee is now the woman of a chaebol, and she has not had any negative news since her debut, not even any scandals, and has always been a representative of excellent character and academic performance. She worked hard to become the spokesperson of the year at the Advertising Awards last year. What right do you have to ban her?"

Jeon Ji-hyun, who was far away in Seoul, was furious when she saw the comments from netizens at home. "Tae-hee did the same thing, why are you boycotting me and not Kim Tae-hee? I am also a chaebol woman!"

Jun Ji-hyun decided to take the Porsche 911 that Song Yi gave her out for a ride in the next two days, and then accept an interview in her newly purchased luxury apartment. Jun Ji-hyun planned to show off to the media how much Song Yi dotes on her.

Kim Tae-hee also saw 4L's comments, and she spoke up for Jun Ji-hyun, "Don't you delete these comments from haters on your platform?"

Song Yi said: "Now that inshcool has just been created, as long as everyone's comments do not rise to the level of personal attacks and violate the inshcool community management regulations, the platform will not delete the comments. After all, freedom of speech is the right."

"But you can express your personal opinion, and we also have the right not to hire you. All inschool websites are registered with real names, and we will definitely retrieve the real identities of 4L netizens. In the future, no company under Xinya or Eshan will hire him. Let's put it this way, as long as his resume is submitted to the company's talent pool, he will be passed immediately." Song Yi said.

It is not easy to find a high-paying job in South Korea. If the netizen 4L knew that he lost a well-paid job because of his bad mouth in college, I wonder if he would regret it in the future.

After seeing netizens treating her and Kim Tae-hee differently, Jun Ji-hyun had an idea in mind. She planned to use the next two or three years to settle down, study at Dongguk University, and then strive to get a master's degree in directing. After all, the image of a beautiful and smart girl is still very popular.

Song Yi has a clear division of labor between Song Hye Kyo and Jun Ji Hyun. Jun Ji Hyun focuses on movies, while Song Hye Kyo focuses on TV dramas. Although the two are in competition in terms of advertising endorsements, they have similar resources for film and television dramas.

Jun Ji-hyun immediately called Song Yi in China and said that she wanted to take a break and go to Dongguk University for further studies. Song Yi also supported her very much.

"Well, the company won't assign you any work in 2002. You can just shoot a few commercials. This year, the company will do its best to help you win the Grand Bell Awards for Best Actress. You won't lack topics and exposure."

"Memories of Murder is an annual blockbuster production with millions of viewers. I have discussed with director Bong Joon-ho and decided to let you play a cameo role in it. If there are no good movie scripts in the next two years, we will not take them." Song Yi helped Jun Ji-hyun plan.

"Thank you, Dad!" Jun Ji-hyun was very grateful. Korean management companies would like to make artists work 24 hours a day to earn commissions from artists' film remuneration. Song Yi was willing to let Jun Ji-hyun stop working for a period of time, which was definitely a long-term plan for Jun Ji-hyun.

Song Yi coughed and said, "Don't shout nonsense. It won't be good if your family hears you."

Jun Ji-hyun was very proud over there. Song Yi really liked the feeling of being a father. "OPPA, I have bought an apartment in Cheongdam-dong and now I live alone. When will you come back to Seoul to visit my home? I will cook for you."

Song Yi found it very funny. "With your mediocre cooking skills, you can't even cut a cucumber properly, and you want to cook for me? Should I cook for you, or will you cook for me?"

Jun Ji-hyun seemed to really miss Song Yi, and her voice was very charming, "OPPA, who cooks doesn't matter, at worst I'll eat the food you cook, and then you eat me."

Seeing that Jun Ji-hyun was getting more and more outrageous, Song Yi quickly changed the subject, "I can cook, too. I recently learned how to make noodles with soybean paste in Yanjing. I'll make some for you when the time comes. But you finally have some time off, so you should learn cooking from your mother."

Jun Ji-hyun's answer was very funny, "I have been working hard to learn, otherwise how would I have the courage to invite you to my house for dinner. I have already learned how to make a kimchi soup, and I can cut things into edible shapes. But my performance is still unstable now. Even if it is the same dish, sometimes it tastes good and sometimes it doesn't. It really drives me crazy."

"It's okay, practice makes perfect. Tae-hee's mother didn't know how to cook before she got married, but she became a great cook after she got married." Song Yi comforted Jun Ji-hyun.

Jun Ji-hyun said pitifully, "OPPA, it will probably take a long time for me to get married. By the way, my parents asked me to invite you to our house last time. My parents want to thank you in person."

"Thank me? Why?" Song Yi felt a little strange and inexplicably guilty. He slept with someone else's daughter, and he was a little afraid that Jun Ji-hyun's parents would ask him to take responsibility.

"The reason why my parents want to treat you to dinner is because of Zheng Shuotuo. My parents know that Zheng Shuotuo was monitoring me, and OPPA helped me get rid of Zheng Shuotuo and protected me very well, so my parents are very grateful to OPPA." Jun Ji-hyun said.

After "My Naughty Girlfriend" was released in Hong Kong Island, gossip tabloids in Hong Kong Island revealed the inside story of Jun Ji-hyun's job move from sidusHQ to New Asia Media.

The newspaper said that Jun Ji-hyun and Jung Seok-tak had been in love for several years, and Jung Seok-tak was very controlling and monitored his girlfriend Jun Ji-hyun's every move. Jun Ji-hyun was unwilling to be controlled by the agency, so she asked for help from the new boss of the Korean film industry. In the end, the boss took pity on her and helped Jun Ji-hyun successfully terminate the contract.

After reading the report, Jun Ji-hyun's parents asked their daughter whether the report was true. Jun Ji-hyun told her parents the inside story of the contract termination, including that Zheng Shuotuo had someone install a bug in the hotel in Yanjing to monitor Jun Ji-hyun's every move.

When Jun Ji-hyun's parents learned about what Zheng Shuotuo had done, they were so angry that they almost called the police to arrest Zheng Shuotuo. Zheng Shuotuo was very familiar with Jun Ji-hyun's parents and had visited them as her boyfriend. He was very polite to Jun Ji-hyun's parents. Jun Ji-hyun's parents could never have imagined that their daughter's ex-boyfriend Zheng Shuotuo was such a scum who only knew his appearance but not his heart.

Jun Ji-hyun stopped her parents' actions and told them that the reason Song Yi called the police in Yanjing was to protect Jun Ji-hyun's reputation.

Song Yi took Jun Ji-hyun to the Yanjing police to make a statement, and also left the record of Zheng Shuotuo's wiretapping of Jun Ji-hyun and related evidence. In order to protect the company's reputation, Che Shengzai of sidusHQ had to agree that Jun Ji-hyun would join New Asia Media with a zero penalty.

The public opinion environment in South Korea is very unfriendly to female stars. There is an unhealthy trend of blaming the victim. Even Jeon Ji-hyun, who became famous in half of South Korea in 2001, is no exception.

If the news of Zheng Shuotuo eavesdropping on Jun Ji-hyun were to be exposed, Zheng Shuotuo would certainly be scolded by everyone, but Jun Ji-hyun would not be in any good situation either.

A small number of Koreans would speculate why Jung Seok-tak wanted to monitor his girlfriend Jun Ji-hyun, whether Jun Ji-hyun had done something to offend her behind his back, whether she had flirted with a male actor or director, so Jung Seok-tak had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. They would also bring up the strange saying that "if you don't do bad things in normal times, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door at midnight."

Female celebrities cannot escape from scandals in the entertainment industry, and ordinary people never think highly of celebrities. They don't even understand why celebrities can make so much money so easily, so they can't stand them.

Generally speaking, most Korean artists who encounter crazy anti-celebrity have several characteristics:

1. His acting or singing skills are average. He is very famous, but has no outstanding works.

2. There are crazy fans (commonly known as brain-dead fans). It seems that brain-dead fans regard idols as more important than parents. When idols sleep with fans, fans still think it is an honor.

3. Having bad behavior or being rude to seniors, or relying on power. Koreans have always attached great importance to the order of seniority.

4. Relying on interpersonal relationships or scandals to make a debut will only create hype.

5. Lack of sincerity and failure to treat fans sincerely.

6. He is hypocritical and made his debut by plagiarizing works. He has character problems.

7. When it comes to politics or national interests, Koreans have strong self-esteem and they always shout "Long live the Republic of Korea".

Jun Ji-hyun became famous in Asia with the drama "My Naughty Girlfriend". The Korean entertainment industry is so small and the pie is so limited. If Jun Ji-hyun earns more, it means others will earn less. Shin Asia's artists are very strong in advertising endorsements. Other entertainment companies have long been dissatisfied with Shin Asia. The Hong Kong media's report that Jun Ji-hyun was wiretapped was actually a test.

If New Asia Media lets it go, then the Hong Kong media will continue to expose the negative information of other artists under New Asia Media, half true and half false, such as Song Yi and Jun Ji-hyun and Song Hye-kyo playing threesomes together, Song Yi and all the female stars under New Asia having a carnival party on a yacht, etc. Add to that other Korean media that are trying to fish in troubled waters, and New Asia Media will be speechless.

Song Yi felt that the Hong Kong media's report was not groundless, and felt that someone was behind it. New Asia and SidusHQ would definitely not be stupid enough to reveal the inside story of Jun Ji-hyun's wiretapping case.

There are only two possibilities now. Either Song Yi's business rival has connections and has found out the inside story of the wiretapping case in Yanjing, or someone has bribed the staff of SidusHQ with money, such as the female assistant who knows about the case.

Shin Asia Media and Shinhan Media are now deeply bound in cooperation, and Shin Asia Media's contracted artists have appeared in advertisements for the four major conglomerates: SK, LG, Hyundai, and Asan.

If negative news about Shin Asia's artists leads to a boycott of the ads of these four major conglomerates, then the huge advertising contracts signed by Shinhan Media and SK, LG, Hyundai, and Asan may be affected, and Shinhan Media's road to listing will also be thwarted. So when Jun Ji-hyun said that she wanted to study at Dongguk University, Song Yi was indeed very satisfied. He and Jun Ji-hyun were in sync. A popular actress gave up the fame and fortune that was within her reach, returned to campus, mingled with teachers and students, learned with an open mind, and constantly improved her acting skills. Do you still have the heart to continue to blacken such a studious and motivated national treasure-level actress? Thinking of this, Song Yi said to Jun Ji-hyun, "No need to eat. Let's be quiet for a while. I feel like there are paparazzi watching our every move. As a boss, it is natural to protect the artists under the company. There is nothing to say. After all, I still rely on you to make money."

"If I visit your house, the entertainment media will say tomorrow that Jun Ji-hyun brought a mysterious man to meet your parents and that the two are already discussing marriage. Before Shinhan Media goes public, we must keep a low profile as much as possible. Even if we want to meet, I have to arrange it. If news breaks out that I stayed overnight in your apartment before Shinhan goes public, it may even affect Shinhan's stock price." Song Yi said.

When Jun Ji-hyun heard this, she felt a little resentful, "OPPA, Shinhan will be listed in three months, don't you miss me at all? I have downloaded a lot of Japanese drama movies recently and learned a lot of Japanese. I want you to check my learning progress."

When Song Yi heard Jun Ji-hyun say this, he also felt itchy in his heart. He felt that the women around him were particularly fond of learning in order to win favor. From Song Hye-kyo to Jun Ji-hyun and Kim Hee-won, almost without exception, they also gradually figured out Song Yi's preferences.

Song Yi's expression was very serious. "It's a good thing to love learning. When you go back to work after the Spring Festival, I will check your learning progress in the company. Don't slack off during this period. Learn to study on your own first. Then we can study together and make progress together."

Jun Ji-hyun snorted. It seemed that Song Yi was determined to spend the New Year in the mainland with Kim Tae-hee this year. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get any favor from Kim Tae-hee.

Jun Ji-hyun said mischievously, "OPPA, it's better if you don't visit my parents' house. I was actually afraid to call me dad, but you responded naturally."

Thank you all for your monthly tickets. "Chaebol" is a combination of business and entertainment, written interspersed. I hope you don't skip reading it, as it's easy to miss some details. See you tomorrow.
