Peninsula: Superpowered Daily Life

Chapter 89 4 Goddesses' Faces

After leaving ITZY's practice room, Zhou Wenzhe went to the office of the third division that was in charge of Twice.

Besides Twice, the third division also handles the work of Park Jin-young and some solo artists, such as Bae Suzy, a member of the disbanded Miss A.

It is said that she has decided not to renew her contract with JYP Entertainment and will leave when her contract expires next year.

Coincidentally, Bae Suzy was also at the Third Headquarters at that time, discussing something with the person in charge of the Third Headquarters.

The person in charge is named Park Jong-min, the same name as a comedian. Although he is only thirty-six or thirty-seven years old this year, he has been with JYP Entertainment for more than ten years.

He started as one of MissA's agents and gradually worked his way up to his current position.

This was the first meeting between Zhou Wenzhe and JYP Entertainment since Zhou took office as Chief Strategy Officer.

He has now seen all four of the most beautiful female idols selected by South Korean netizens.

Among the four most handsome men, two of them had relationships with him that went beyond friendship.

These four stunning beauties are Yoona, Krystal, Suzy, and Joo-hyun.

These four women are indeed beautiful, but in Zhou Wenzhe's opinion, their shortcomings are equally obvious, namely, their figures are not flattering.

This vote was based on appearance, which is why the four of them won.

Actually, among the many female idols in South Korea, there are quite a few whose looks are no worse than these four, but they lose out in terms of popularity and debut time.

Take Kim Jisoo for example. If she had debuted earlier, she might have been one of the top five visuals.

Although Bae Suzy had never met Zhou Wenzhe, she already knew who he was. After being reminded by the staff, she took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, Director-nim."

"Hello, Bae Suzy-ssi."

The two shook hands.

Seeing that the staff inside didn't look too happy, Zhou Wenzhe asked in surprise, "What happened?"

Upon hearing this question, Park Jong-min explained quietly, "Director-nim, it's like this..."

After hearing the explanation, Zhou Wenzhe frowned and looked at Pei Xiuzhi with displeasure.

It turns out that in July of this year, a female internet celebrity was suddenly exposed online with a large number of explicit photos. Because this internet celebrity was quite famous, it caused a huge uproar in South Korea.

After the sex photo scandal broke out, due to its huge impact, this internet celebrity had no choice but to apologize to the public, posting an apology video online and playing the emotional card.

She also explained that these explicit photos were taken under duress by the photography studio.

These words immediately caused a reversal on the internet, and everyone began to feel very sorry for this tragic girl. It was at this time that Bae Suzy saw the story of this internet celebrity and then posted a long and eloquent article to support the girl.

This immediately attracted widespread attention online. Feeling that wasn't enough, she went to the Green House to appeal to the government to address the matter.

This matter was originally a niche issue, with at most 10,000 people knowing about it before. However, after she spread it and publicized it in a big way, it instantly attracted 160,000 South Korean netizens to participate.

Bae Suzy received countless positive reviews for this incident, with netizens praising her as incredibly cool and amazing.

However, things soon took a turn for the better.

Because Bae Suzy posted about the photography studio mentioned by the online influencer, the owner was immediately doxxed by South Korean netizens.

But actually, Bae Suzy contacted the wrong person, because the owner of this photography studio was someone she had just bought, while the nude photos were taken three years ago, and it wasn't the same owner at all.

Subsequently, Bae Suzy also came out to apologize.

I thought the matter was settled, but then the boss from three years ago suddenly reappeared and attacked Bae Suzy and that internet celebrity, saying that the sex photos were taken voluntarily by the parties involved, and even presented evidence.

Even more seriously, this boss, who had been in the business for three years, recently committed suicide after leaving a suicide note because he could not bear the cyberbullying.

This completely reversed public opinion, with netizens flooding Bae Suzy's social media accounts to verbally attack her. Some even went to the Green House website to demand that she be sentenced to death.

Being caught in such a media storm is a devastating blow to an artist, and their career will inevitably suffer a great deal of damage.

Several jobs that Bae Suzy had recently agreed to have been canceled because of this.

Was she wronged?

Not at all.

She is the one who caused this irreversible situation.

Although her initial intention was to help out of kindness, as a public figure, blindly taking sides without knowing the truth is itself fanning the flames.

He's about to leave, yet he's still causing trouble for the company.

However, she is still an artist under JYP Entertainment, and the company needs to step in to resolve this matter.

They were just discussing how to resolve this issue.

What other solution is there?

In Zhou Wenzhe's view, the best approach is to play dead and wait for public opinion to gradually dissipate.

No matter what or how you respond now, it will only amplify the issue infinitely, leading to even greater public pressure.

Anyway, Bae Suzy's contract only has a few months left, so let's just treat this period as a break for her.

A few months later, she switched to another company. Whether netizens will boycott her then is a headache for the new company.

Park Jong-min certainly knew that this approach was in the best interest of the company, but after all, he had watched Bae Suzy grow from a new idol to a big star, and he still wanted to do his best to help her.

Zhou Wenzhe does have a solution, and it's quite effective; it will definitely be able to reverse the tide of public opinion.

Moreover, as the company's strategist, helping to handle such public opinion crises is part of his job, so why would he help Bae Suzy?

If she becomes an artist under JYP Entertainment in the future, then helping her is understandable, but she will soon no longer be an artist under JYP.

Helping her now is equivalent to helping the next company.

He won't do things that are thankless and require a lot of effort.

So when Park Jong-min asked for his opinion, he simply shook his head and told them to decide for themselves.

Park Jong-min probably sensed that Zhou Wenzhe was somewhat unhappy, so he didn't bring it up again. Bae Suzy probably also realized that Zhou Wenzhe didn't have a good impression of her, so she didn't say anything either.

Even if he is a director, so what? I'm not begging him for anything, and besides, she's about to leave JYP Entertainment, so she won't be able to control me anymore.

Zhou Wenzhe came to the third branch today to find out Twice's schedule for the next two months.

The main reason is that he hasn't seen Lim Nayeon for a while.

Park Jong-min printed out a table listing some of Twice's upcoming important tasks and handed it to Joo Moon-cheol.

Last month, Twice released their sixth mini-album, "YES or YES," and this month they're releasing their third special album, "The Year of YES." Add to that the recording of several shows, and they're busy working every day.

At the end of the year, they still have a lot of work to do, such as attending the Mnet Asian Music Awards, participating in the Korean Gayo Daejeon for the third consecutive year, performing in the Japanese NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen and TV Asahi's "Music Station Super Live" year-end music festival for the second consecutive year, and going to Hong Kong to participate in the "Music Bank in Hong Kong" concert.

In addition to these, they also need to promote their first film, *TWICELAND*.

In short, they basically had no time to rest for the next two or three months.

Seeing this, Zhou Wenzhe felt helpless. He originally thought that working at JYP Entertainment would give him more opportunities to spend time with Lim Nayeon, but now it seems that things are still the same as before.

However, he could go with them to Japan and Hong Kong. They could meet up, have heart-to-heart talks, and have in-depth exchanges during their free time.
