Kidnap a superstar for a romance

Chapter 247 Day 243 of Being the Boss

Perhaps sensing Heo Young-ji's worry, the team leader Park Kyu-ri gently held the hand of the youngest sister in the group.

Xu Yingzhi raised his head and smiled, not at all relaxed, in the captain's soothing gaze.

Just as the KARA members were excited and nervous, Jung Nicole and Kang Ji-eum, who were notified to attend the meeting, also walked in from the door.

As soon as Jiang Zhiyin entered the door, she saw the sisters sitting next to her, and joy flashed in her eyes instantly.

Although I already knew that DSP was acquired by the company and KARA might be reorganized, I couldn't help but feel excited when I saw my former teammate Jiang Zhiyin in person at the company.

Not only Jiang Zhiyin, but even the usually calm Zheng Nico couldn't help showing a look of surprise after seeing his former teammates.

But after all, the president was still there, and it was a serious matter, so both of them restrained themselves a little and greeted the KARA members who were sitting in their seats in a very restrained manner.

Xu Yisong saw them come in and motioned for them to find a seat and sit down, then he got straight to the point and said, "I'm sure you all have guessed why I gathered you here for this meeting. I won't beat around the bush. Since DSP has joined FYH, I plan to reorganize KARA."

Although it was expected, those present were still a little excited when they heard the news in person.

Xu Yisong took in their expressions, and of course noticed that while everyone was excited, there was one person who was obviously a little depressed.

However, she did not point it out, but continued, "If everyone has no objection, KARA will return as a six-member group this year."

"A group of six?!" Xu Yingzhi was still a little unresponsive.

Xu Yisong looked over and said with a smile: "Of course, don't you already have four of us now? With Nico and Zhiyin, there are six of us in total, is there anything wrong with that?"

"But, KARA originally consisted of..." five people. Heo Young-ji pursed her lips, still a little bit unbelieving.

Xu Yisong just looked at her and said, "As far as I know, KARA didn't have five members at the beginning, right?" KARA was originally a four-member group, but one member quit and later new members joined to become the five-member group that everyone is familiar with.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Xu Yisong clapped his hands and said, "Okay, it's decided. Your agent and team will come to you in a while. Everything else will remain the same. Nico, your agent will remain the same. From now on, KARA's main agent will be Lina, and individual agents will still follow the original arrangement. If there are no objections, we'll adjourn the meeting, and you can discuss the rest among yourselves."

After saying that, Xu Yisong left first.

Although the acquisition of DSP was handled by the system, Xu Yisong still had to do everything after the acquisition himself.

After solving the KARA issue, Xu Yisong still has to investigate the trainees of DSP. After all, the people who acquired the company are different from the ones he chose.

Now that she has joined FYH, she is a FYH member. Xu Yisong still needs to understand the basic situation of these trainees. Otherwise, how can she promote a new group when she doesn’t know the abilities of her own trainees?

Originally, DSP decided to launch a new group at the end of this month, but the company was suddenly acquired and the matter was put on hold.

The new group has reached the final stage of debut, both the members and the debut song are ready, just waiting for the official announcement. Therefore, DSP submitted the debut plan to the headquarters again. Logically, Xu Yisong would not interfere too much in the development of the subsidiary, and the plan passed the previous rounds of evaluation, but in the end Xu Yisong rejected the plan.

DSP was planning to launch a five-member girl group, whose members' looks, abilities, and debut songs all met the standards and even had the potential to become a hit. However, Xu Yisong still did not approve of the plan.

The only reason is that this group failed the background check in the system.

A group that is about to debut, but the internal relationship is in chaos. It is already about to debut, and the members are not familiar with each other, and there is even a risk of bullying. If such a group is allowed to debut like this, FYH will be burying a mine that can be detonated at any time.

Xu Yisong would never allow such a thing to happen.

In the end, Xu Yisong not only did not agree to the group's debut, he also took advantage of the company's restructuring period to terminate the contracts with many trainees who had the same problem.

In FYH, you can still practice if you don’t have the ability, but you will never tolerate people with bad character. All FYH employees will receive an employee handbook on the first day of entering FYH. The first page has only one sentence: obey the law and stick to the moral bottom line.

In addition, there is a compulsory ideology and morality course every week in FYH’s training course, which is used to regulate the behavior of artists.

The trainees are generally young, most of them are minors, and the entertainment industry is a place that looks glamorous on the surface but is actually chaotic and impetuous. If the company does not guide them well at this time, it will really lead some children astray.

The nature of an artist's work is special. As a public figure, they play a significant guiding role in society. Good artists will bring good social benefits, but artists with tainted morals or even criminal behavior will also bring adverse effects to society, and these adverse effects are sometimes far greater than the good effects brought by excellent artists.

Therefore, FYH will pay more attention to the character of artists than their abilities. Xu Yisong does not need FYH artists to be careful about their words and deeds in front of the camera, because as long as they are good people at heart, they don't need any disguise to have a good image.

On the contrary, for people who already have problems, no matter how well they pretend in front of the camera, there will definitely be a day when they will be exposed, and by then the consequences of the collapse of their personal image will be fatal.

Acquiring a company like DSP with a solid foundation can certainly save a lot of trouble, but it also breeds a lot of trouble, which is why Xu Yisong was so conflicted at the time. If it weren't for KARA, she might not have chosen DSP because it was too chaotic internally.

When FYH's performance ended, Kwon Ji-Yong had just finished a WORLD TOUR for his new album and returned to Korea. However, he only had less than two days to rest after the tour, and his schedule was filled with various variety show announcements afterwards.

Today, Kwon Ji-yong was recording a variety show in Pyeongchang, a reality show called "Infinite Challenge". This variety show has been on the air for almost ten years and has a pivotal position in the variety show industry. Every episode has a very strong lineup of hosts and guests, all of whom are popular figures in the Korean entertainment industry. They also have a large fan base both at home and abroad.
