Chapter 363 Sourness
"The new girl group project has five members. Besides us, are the other three from one group?"
"Probably, I only know that we are one group, and I don't know if there will be anyone else," Zhang Yuanying said, shaking her head. Jiang Shu did not reveal the whereabouts of the others to her.
"But it's really interesting that Yuri Ouni and Hyewon Ouni are going down the acting path," Zhang Yuanying said with some surprise.
As of now, among DM Entertainment's artists, only Lee Ji-eun has taken the acting route; the others are all active in the music industry.
And now, two actors have suddenly appeared among the IZONE members.
This is truly quite surprising.
"I think it's good. They both always wanted to act, especially Guang Bei Ouni. She's not good at singing, nor is she good at dancing," Ahn Yujin said, shrugging.
"Isn't that a bit harsh?" Zhang Yuanying said hesitantly.
"It's fine, isn't that right, Guang Bei Ouni?"
Hearing Ahn Yujin's words, Zhang Yuanying turned around and realized that Jiang Huiyuan, who had been lying like a corpse in the room, had already walked out.
She wasn't angry at Ahn Yujin's teasing; instead, she felt a sense of relief.
"You're absolutely right!" Jiang Huiyuan nodded in satisfaction. "I finally don't have to dance!!!"
Fans are well aware of how Jiang Huiyuan, a company employee, signed a contract and was suddenly scouted to become a trainee, then debuted without even having a solid foundation. So, the expectation for Jiang Huiyuan was to try her best not to drag the team down.
If you were to say she was incredibly talented, that would be pure nonsense, but Jiang Huiyuan had always worked hard not to be a burden, so the public was quite tolerant of her.
However, tolerance aside, every comeback felt like imprisonment for Jiang Huiyuan herself. Others could master a dance in a short time, but she had to spend a lot of time practicing, and even then, her performance wasn't particularly outstanding.
As an idol, Jiang Huiyuan's achievements were perfectly fine. But for her, being an idol wasn't her life plan. Even if it might have been a bit novel at first, she was tired of it now.
The company arranging for her to be an actress actually made her happier than being an idol, at least... she wouldn't have to sing and dance and be the team's weak link anymore.
After the manager posted this notice in IZONE's team chat, the IZONE members' private group immediately exploded.
Everyone had been idle during this time, either playing at home or going out, basically just playing. So, as soon as the notification was released, most people saw it immediately.
Thus, everyone began discussing their own and their teammates' arrangements, but looking at the group's content, no one yet thought their arrangement was unreasonable.
At this moment, Choi Yena suddenly forwarded a video.
Yena (Soon to be Solo Version): Forwarded the video "A Battle That Will Go Down in K-Pop History."
Yena (Soon to be Solo Version): This blogger made a really good video, quick, watch!
But clearly, the members, engrossed in their future prospects, ignored her and continued discussing the future they were about to face.
Jiang Huiyuan glanced at the maknae duo, who were chatting offline while furiously sending messages online, and quietly opened the video Choi Yena had forwarded.
Soon, more than ten minutes passed, and Jiang Huiyuan finished watching the video.
"A Battle That Will Go Down in K-Pop History" referred to their battle for the top with ITZY last year.
The highly refined ITZY, despite giving their all, still couldn't defeat the invincible great demon king IZONE.
And now, ITZY has faded into obscurity, and the great demon king IZONE has fallen apart. Both groups, once standing at the pinnacle of girl groups, have plummeted from the mountain peak into the valley.
The video was quite interesting. Jiang Huiyuan silently forwarded it again and changed her ID.
Jiang Huiyuan (Actress Version): Forwarded the video "A Battle That Will Go Down in K-Pop History."
Kwon Eunbi (Forever Leader Version): This video is pretty well made.
Kim Chae-won (Preparing to Debut Version): I watched it, the blogger explained it very well.
Yena (Soon to be Solo Version): ?
Yena (Soon to be Solo Version): I sent it, and you didn't watch it, but when Guang Bei sends it, you watch it?
Yena (Soon to be Solo Version): Bullying?
Kim Chae-won (Preparing to Debut Version): Ouni, why do you have to be so direct? Isn't it enough to just know it in your heart?
Yena (Soon to be Solo Version): Yah, ishba!
Yena (Soon to be Solo Version) has been muted for ten minutes by Kwon Eunbi (Forever Leader Version).
Kwon Eunbi (Forever Leader Version): Don't use foul language, maintain good habits.
Kim Chae-won (Soon to Debut Version): Well done!
Kim Minju: Does everyone know what the new girl group project is? Are the five of us forming a new girl group again?
Kim Chae-won (Soon to Debut Version): No, there are two girl groups. One is a new group, and one is the relaunched IVE.
Kim Chae-won (Soon to Debut Version): Yuan Ying and You Zhen are members of the relaunched IVE. We three don't know if any of us will also be in IVE.
Zhang Yuanying (Yuan Shen Version): @Kim Chae-won (Soon to Debut Version) Ouni, who told you that?
Kim Chae-won (Soon to Debut Version): @Sakura (Sleepy Version) Her.
Subsequently, a series of "+1"s were all tagging the lurking Sakura.
Sakura (Sleepy Version): ...
Sakura (Sleepy Version): Everyone can just ask the manager.
Sakura (Sleepy Version): Currently, there are two groups: one is LESSERAFIM, and the other is IVE.
Sakura (Sleepy Version): I, Chaewon, and Minju are in LESSERAFIM. Yuan Ying and You Zhen are in IVE.
Sakura (Sleepy Version): Both IVE and LESSERAFIM are tentatively six-member groups, and the company will arrange for new members to join the groups later.
"We have to bring in new people again," Zhang Yuanying complained, exasperated.
"Are we bringing in new people?" In contrast, Ahn Yujin's eyes were filled with excitement.
Ahn Yujin (I'm Going to Get Rich Version): @Sakura (Sleepy Version) Ouni, do you know who the new members are?
Sakura (Sleepy Version): I'm not sure about that, but I think they'll probably be chosen from the exclusive trainees.
Yena (Soon to be Solo Version): Doesn't that mean Autumn has a chance to debut?
"Oh right, if that's the case, Autumn Ouni has a chance to debut!" Ahn Yujin also reacted when she saw Choi Yena's message. Will her best Autumn Ouni finally have a chance to debut?
"Even if Autumn Ouni debuts, she might not necessarily be with us," Zhang Yuanying said, propping herself up on the sofa with her hands.
"That doesn't matter. I'm just happy for Autumn Ouni; it doesn't matter if we're teammates or not," Ahn Yujin said, shaking her head.
"Tsk." Zhang Yuanying clicked her tongue and said nothing more.
Jiang Huiyuan listened to their conversation from the side. Why did it feel like there was a hint of sourness in it?
She looked at Zhang Yuanying, then at Ahn Yujin, blinking her big eyes. A smile suddenly appeared on her blank face.
Hehe~~~
