Chapter 1154: 2009 (Thu)

"Hey, hey, can you hear me?"

"President, can you hear me—"

The person on the other end of the phone was still wondering, and Park Jin-young, who was sitting in the airport waiting hall, hung up the call impatiently.

He stared at the man not far in front of him with a strange gaze, although the other party was wearing sunglasses on his face, as the president of a large entertainment company, Park Jin-young had not had a bad eye over the years.

With just an incomplete side face, he could tell that after taking off his sunglasses, it must be an extremely handsome face.

In fact, this is nothing, although the good-looking men and women in this world are scarcer than ordinary people, but in the entertainment industry, there is no shortage of handsome guys and beauties, or in general, under normal circumstances, a remarkable face is the basic condition for entering the entertainment industry.

Park Jin-young himself is a relatively rare exception, and many people see him for the first time, even if they don't slander the so-called "gorilla" in their hearts impolitely, they probably can't praise him against their will. After all, in the era of his debut, people's concepts were still very pure, and many artists who did not have the advantage of appearance could also rely on their own talents to survive.

Park Jin-young didn't care much about this for a long time.

He was one of the most successful people of his time, running a top entertainment company that bears his name, something that most artists have never been able to achieve in their lifetimes.

Besides, Li Xiuman's appearance will not be much better than his own anyway.

At this time, the man who was secretly concerned by Park Jinying, what really attracted him to Park Jinyoung was that he had a good temperament that stood out in the crowd.

People say that appearance is innate, and temperament can be cultivated through nurture after birth.

However, in fact, flaws in appearance can be solved by cosmetic surgery and various cosmetic methods, which is not unacceptable in South Korea, a world-famous plastic surgery country, but in Park Jin-young's opinion, the cultivation of temperament is quite difficult.

Because it not only requires a harsh living environment, but also has to do with the mood and character of the person concerned.

In the entertainment industry, an artist who does not have his own temperament, no matter how outstanding his appearance is, will not be the group of people who stand at the top.

Temperament is the certificate that can make the public remember you among thousands of celebrities.

Park Jin-young himself is a classic case in the entertainment industry that does not rely on appearance to achieve success, but when he cultivates the company's next generation of artists, he still adheres to the convention of the entertainment industry - "judging people by their appearance".

Maybe it's because he himself had enough of the suffering of poor looks when he was young, so he deeply understands how difficult it is for an artist who does not have excellent appearance conditions to get ahead in a huge entertainment industry.

Even, Park Jin-young is stricter than other entertainment companies in this regard.

Not only must you have an appearance, but you must also have an impressive temperament.

JYP is currently lacking a leader in the field of male artists who can take charge of himself.

Or in other words, basically since SM started the era of the so-called ancestral idol group, various entertainment companies in Korea have focused on the field of group debut, and have not paid attention to individual artists.

What makes Park Jin-young a little worried is that as the "culprit" of this situation, SM now has a good façade in the field of male and female artists.

. Not to mention Kang Ta, who was born in T, BoA's status in the Japanese music scene is not comparable to that of onder girls, who are now in full swing.

2AM and 2PM are two new boy groups that JYP has just launched, and Park Jin-young has pinned some hopes on the members of both groups, but Park Jin-young knows that there is no one among these children who can compete with Kang Ta and BoA, not only can they not do it now, but they will not be able to do it in the future.

This incident has always made Park Zhenying feel very distressed, but the current girl group is the general trend, and he is not good to rashly change the company's development strategy to select suitable male trainees.

Park Zhenying hid this matter in his heart, and it almost became a piece of his heart.

So today he was able to meet such a person who attracted him at the airport at first sight, and he was still a boy, which really made Park Zhenying a little overjoyed.

As a person who is not outstanding in appearance, Park Jin-young is more convinced of the first impression.

Most of the middle and senior management of JYP know that its president believes in "eye edge". Within the company, anyone who is favored by him, even if he is still a small trainee for the time being, even if his strength is still insufficient, he can quickly get the opportunity to debut.

It can be said that the male and female artists who can debut in JYP are actually recognized by Park Jin-young before they can become candidates on the debut list.

Park Zhenying believes that as long as he is optimistic about the person, he will definitely be able to become popular in the future.

Onder Girls, which has been growing in popularity for several years, is an example of this.

And today, Park Jin-young feels like he sees a young man who is more in his eyes than the children of 2AM and 2PM.

Although the other party looks to be in his early twenties, although he has not seen the full picture of the other party taking off his sunglasses, and even, in such an international airport, he can't be sure of the other party's nationality for a while, is it Korean? Chinese? or Japanese?

But none of this is a problem in the eyes of Park Jin-young, who is happy to see the hunt.

He is a very idealistic person himself, and after becoming the president of an entertainment company, Park Jin-young gradually developed a kind of blind confidence.

Facts have proved that people cannot indulge in temporary success, and when the spring breeze is proud, it often nourishes a lot of arrogant self-confidence in people's hearts.

Park Jin-young felt that since he had rarely found a person who could be eye-catching, he should not miss the opportunity.

He was about to board the plane, and he didn't know if the young man who looked like an Asian was on the same flight as him, and if he could, he hoped to at least get the contact information of the other party before getting on the plane.

So he didn't hesitate too much at the moment, he did what he wanted, pulled his suitcase and walked straight to the man's side and sat down.

The man was keeping his head down, apparently using his phone to look up something, not paying attention to his approach.

Park Jin-young's eyes were small, but his eyes were good, and he could see the words displayed on the man's phone screen at a glance.

It's Korean.

It's good that the first step hurdle is gone.

Park Jin-young's swarthy face wearing large sunglasses couldn't help but show a heartfelt smile, and even a little bit of a feeling that he had already won the game.

The most important nationality issue has been solved, and the other point is that in today's South Korea, there should be few people who do not know the name of JYP among young people, which provides a good basis for Park Jin-young to continue to solicit.

Of course, Park Zhenying can't just say anything to the other party about being a trainee as soon as he comes up, he also needs to pave the way, and he also needs to confirm whether this young man really meets his heart.

Otherwise, as the president, it is rare for me to recruit a new person for so many years, and if something goes wrong, it will not look good.

"Hello?"

After a little consideration of his words, Park Jin-young, who had roughly finished the draft, greeted the other party in a more kind tone.

He uses English, because he doesn't know where this young man is from, and he is worried that if he rashly greets him in Seoul, he will be the first to attract some disgust, which is related to the prevailing regional discrimination in South Korea, and there are a considerable number of local young people in South Korea who do not have a good impression of Seoulians.

The other party turned his head to look at Park Zhenying, probably seeing Park Zhenying's same Asian face, he turned his body slightly sideways, and nodded to Park Zhenying very politely: "Hello." ”

The man's voice has a different kind of warmth and magnetism, and when Park Jin-young heard it, the eyes behind the sunglasses were like light bulbs lit up.

And the etiquette is in place, as a stranger in a foreign country, the other party can have such a level of greeting without recognizing himself is quite good.

The smile on the corner of Park Jin-young's mouth became more and more intense, and he asked very kindly in English, "Asian?"

"Yes, Asian. The other party bowed slightly.

"Is it Korean?"

The other party seemed to be surprised, he looked at Park Jinying who asked this, it seemed that he didn't expect that he would meet an Asian at the airport casually and it was a South Korean.

"Yes. Korean. ”

When he spoke again, he had already changed to a Seoul official dialect that was as fluent as Park Jin-young.

"Is it? Hey, what kind of fate is this? I didn't expect to meet my compatriots before returning home......

Park Jin-young's small eyes behind his sunglasses almost smiled into two curved lines, and while he greeted the man warmly, he raised his hand with a bright smile and took off the sunglasses on his face, completely revealing his appearance.

However, a second, a second or two passed......

Until the smile on Park Jinying's face was a little unbearable, he still didn't hear any surprised questions from the young man in front of him.

The man just looked at him quietly, looking a little puzzled by his sudden stoppage.

A little embarrassment instantly welled up in Park Zhenying's heart, he sat up straight, coughed dryly, and then asked the other party in a tentative tone, "Excuse me...... Do you know me?"

He still didn't give up, thinking that the other party should just not recognize him for a while, after all, he had indeed tanned a lot during his time in the United States.

As a result, the truth was a blow to Park Jin-young's full self-confidence.

He saw the other party frown vaguely, and then hesitantly asked himself:

"I ...... Should I know you?"

What's going on? Aren't you from Seoul? You're from Seoul and you look young, why don't you know me?

All of a sudden, all sorts of thoughts popped into Park Jin-young's head, making him almost wonder if his JYP was really among the top entertainment companies in South Korea by now.

Otherwise, why would this young Korean not know himself?

"That...... Hello, I'm Park Jin-young. ”

He thought about it, and finally reached out unwillingly, staring at the other party's reaction with his eyes, wanting to observe a little different clue from before.

However, after hearing his words, the man was only slightly silent, then raised his hand and took off the sunglasses on his face, revealing a handsome face that was not expected by Park Zhenying, and then shook hands with Park Zhenying amicably, and introduced himself:

"Hello, I'm ...... Han Woo. ”
