Chapter 74 Good News

mposing, was abruptly interrupted. He felt a lump of air stuck in his throat, making it hard to breathe. Muttering under his breath, he turned his head and glared at the person who had interrupted him...Thailand and the entire Southeast Asia region are one of the important activity areas for K-pop, with many lesser-known idol groups trying to hold activities here to raise their awareness within Asia.

Although EXO was limited to primarily promoting in the Korean Peninsula and China before their debut, they still place a great deal of importance on the Southeast Asian market, and their popularity there is quite high.

After returning from Thailand, Chi Jingyuan immediately returned to the set of "The Untamed." Whether it was the director, the writer, or the other actors, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at his return.

Shortly after the start of filming, the lead actor was injured and left. Many people who didn't know the specifics were a little uneasy. Over these eight days or so, even if everyone else's scenes were being filmed, there wasn't much footage to work with. Even though it's an ensemble piece, Zhang Kelai's role has such a high frequency of appearances that without Ji Jingyuan, it feels like filming is coming to a standstill.

As soon as he stepped onto the 15th floor of Lotte World, Ji-Won Park was greeted with a warm welcome. A group of seniors gathered together, clapping and cheering to celebrate his return after recovering from his injury. The enthusiastic welcome even made Ji-Won Park a little embarrassed.

Although he was absent for over a week, fortunately, the crew started filming earlier than usual, leaving almost two months of shooting time before the premiere. Plus, the previous filming went smoothly and quickly, so there's still enough time left at the moment, but things will definitely get busy after Park Jung-won's schedule is done.

While Pledis Entertainment's CEO, Kim Min-hee, was busy returning to filming duties with the group, and a whirlwind of unfortunate events had been rocking the agency. From rumors of Jihoon dating, Byun Baekhyun’s dating scandal surfacing, HAN’s departure from Seventeen, f(x)’s premature end to activities, and Red Velvet facing boycotts since their debut, things hadn't exactly been going smoothly for Pledis. Finally, on the 15th, they announced some good news.

At noon, an announcement was made that the girl group Girls' Generation under ** Entertainment has achieved a full member contract renewal. They will continue their activities for the next three years as members of Girls' Generation and singers under ** Entertainment.

An insider revealed that this renewal is completely different from the mode they signed with in their rookie days. This time, each member negotiated separately with the agency before reaching a consensus. As members who have already reached A-list status, Girls' Generation members put forward different conditions based on their individual needs. After many rounds of negotiation, they finally achieved a full group renewal.

>There are also internal sources revealing that Girls' Generation and ** Entertainment's contract renewal was actually completed quite some time ago. It just wasn't made public until now.

As for why it was suddenly announced now, the specific reason is unclear.

As soon as the news broke, the stock price surged. Online, those who had been steadfastly holding onto their shares expressed their excitement with unrestrained enthusiasm.

This year has been quite a bumpy ride for Girls' Generation. From the start of the year until now, there haven't been many smooth sailing moments. Their contract anniversary is in September and there's still no concrete news, leaving many SoShi fans on edge, worried that they might wake up one day to something like "Contract renewal not reached, Girls' Generation members go solo but remain un disbanded".

This time, seeing that all members renewed their contracts, many SONE who had been holding back before proudly stood up and spoke out online. They said: "Even though this year's achievements are not as good as the previous few years, as long as the nine members are together, there is no problem. No matter the ups and downs, we will continue to support them!"

"Girls' Generation can still slide down, but they will always be the mountain ahead of all girl groups. I know that this gold sign is something s won’t give up."

"It's expected, how many people on the peninsula don't know Girls' Generation's name"

"Taeyeon, this time after renewing your contract, you should have gotten solo resources, right We fans have been waiting for so long, just release a solo song with the music you like already! Our Golden Singer!"

"Now it's Girls' Generation, later it's Girls' Generation, forever it's Girls' Generation!"

Looking at these messages on the screen, Ji Jingyuan could feel the excitement and relief of everyone. They had truly been holding back for too long.

He has also been very concerned about this matter recently, although the renewal may have already been completed. Seeing it, Pool Jingyuan was still very happy for Kim Taeyeon and Sunny, his seniors. He even made time to call Kim Taeyeon and Sunny to congratulate them while resting on the set.

> However, the conversation didn't quite go as he expected. Both Taeyeon and Sunny seemed a little unenthusiastic about it. Although they both smiled and thanked him with a few jokes when faced with his congratulations, there was something in their laughter that felt strained, almost like they hadn't been in good spirits lately.

But it's also possible that Chi Jingyuan is overthinking it and feeling wrong.

Sunny didn't mention anything else, just chatted about recent updates and inquired about Ji Jingyuan's injury recovery before hanging up.

On the day Chi Jingyuan had an accident, they had already talked on the phone separately.

On the contrary, it was Kim Taeyeon who made a rather unexpected invitation to Ji-sung:

"We've been filming a reality show about TTS recently, and we've planned several episodes inviting friends to join us. Jingyuan, would you like to come play with us"

Chi Jingyuan was stunned for a second and reflexively said, "Reality show Are you guys coming back"

"Didn't I already tell you The company also released a lot of news and concept photos a few days ago..." As she was speaking, Kim Taeyeon realized something was wrong and her voice suddenly became louder: "Yah, Ji-yeong, are you totally ignoring what Nuna has been up to lately We TTS are about to make a comeback! As a friend, you don't even know this important thing"

"Ani, how could you not know I've already seen the v trailer released today, it's pretty good, TTS is awesome!"sual senior-junior tactic of s. They probably saw that the Parrot group's comeback results were below expectations, so they wanted xo to help them gain some attention, so they paired these two people...
