Star System: Starting from Korean Entertainment

Chapter 173 Retire, leave the best side to the fans

After the "MTC Gayo Daejeon" ended, it was already January 2014, 1.

Throughout 2013, Zheng Yizhan was busy, releasing songs, albums, various schedules, SA Entertainment, and Jesica.

Sitting in the car going home, he felt a little empty in his heart, staring out the window in a daze.

In the past 2012 and 2013, he finally reached the pinnacle of his solo singer career.If nothing else, he will still be able to win the "Great Award" at the "16th Golden Disc Awards Ceremony" held in Shoushan City on the 28th.

But this year, no matter how hard he tried, he could no longer surpass what he has achieved so far.What's more, he is about to turn 29.According to Han Nanguo's calculation, he is already 30 years old.

Although he has just debuted for 4 and a half years, he is not old enough to continue to compete with young people.Even judging from his appearance alone, he is only about 25 years old.

"It's time to retire, let's keep this most glorious memory in the hearts of all fans!" He looked away from the window and muttered to himself in a low voice.

Liu Taixi vaguely heard his "muttering", glanced at him through the rearview mirror, didn't ask anything, and continued to concentrate on driving.

At 10 am that day, Zheng Yizhan drove to the JYB headquarters.

"Happy New Year! Boss, Assistant Jin!" He walked into Park Zhenrong's office, smiled and handed over a New Year's gift.

"Happy New Year, Yi Zhan!" The two took the gift, nodded and smiled.

"Why didn't you rest at home today?" Park Zhenrong asked.

"I have something to discuss with you, the boss." He said.

"Say it!" Park Zhenrong sighed in his heart.

He already guessed what Zheng Yizhan was going to tell him.

"Boss, I want to hold a farewell concert on June 6th, which is the fifth anniversary of my debut!" Zheng Yizhan said calmly.

Park Zhenrong frowned, looked at him, and asked suspiciously: "Farewell concert?"

"Yes, boss. I have decided to quit the Korean music industry after my contract expires!" he said.

"What?!" Jin Zhenxi was taken aback.

"Why did you quit the music industry, Yi Zhan?" Park Zhenrong was also very surprised, "You have just reached the peak of the music industry!"

Zheng Yizhan nodded and said calmly: "I'm already 30 years old, boss. Just because I finally stood at the top of the music industry, instead of letting my fans watch me go down the peak step by step, it's better to show my best side forever in their hearts."

He paused, and continued: "In May, I will release my last mini-album, with a total of 5 songs. After the Golden Disk Awards ceremony, I will produce the sound source."

Jin Jinxi opened his mouth, wanting to say something.But in the end, he didn't say anything and sighed.

Park Zhenrong looked at his resolute expression, finally nodded with a sad expression, and said, "Okay! I will do my best to help you create this mini-album of yours!"

"Thank you, boss!" Zheng Yizhan stood up, bowed solemnly to him, and then quietly walked out of the office and left the JYB headquarters.

"Boss..." Jin Zhenxi looked at Park Zhenrong after Zheng Yizhan left.

Park Zhenrong raised his hand and said, "That's it!"

After a pause, he sighed and said, "His choice should be very difficult, so just respect his wishes!"

Jin Zhenxi nodded and stopped talking.

indeed.This decision was very difficult, and Zheng Yizhan made it after thinking about it all night.

For the next period of time, he locked himself in the studio, writing the songs of his final mini album.

For these two songs, he will no longer "borrow" any song from that world, but will actually create it himself.

On the evening of January 1, South Korea's "16th Golden Disc Awards Ceremony" opened on time.

At this awards ceremony, Zheng Yizhan won three awards: "Record Award", "Record Book Award" and "Record Popularity Award" for his album "DANCER&SINGER", becoming the biggest winner of this awards ceremony.

After the awards ceremony, all his friends sent him congratulatory messages.He replied one by one.

Jesica also sent him a message: "Ouba, congratulations on winning the big award and reaching the top!"

He replied to the message and chatted with her for a while, then let her rest, and didn't tell her about his decision to quit the South Korean music industry.

On January 1, Zheng Yizhan gave Jesica the song "Mr.Mr." that he wrote for Girls' Generation.He gave them the song for free.

For this reason, Li Chenghe, the music director of SN Entertainment, specially called him to congratulate him and express his gratitude to him for sending the song to Girls' Generation.

On February 2, Girls' Generation released the sound source of their fourth mini-album "Mr.Mr."The title song "Mr.Mr." of the same name topped the iTunes charts in 24 countries and regions.

At the end of February, Girls' Generation finally ended their first world tour and returned to South Korea from Xia Guo'ao City.

When they come back this time, they will negotiate with SN Entertainment about the contract renewal.

On March 3th, Girls' Generation won the first place in the live music program "M-Countdown" with their new song "Mr.Mr.", and received a perfect score.

On March 3, Zheng Yizhan finally came to JYB headquarters again after finishing all the schedules arranged by the company, and handed over the produced sound source to Jin Jinxi.

Kim Jin Suk solemnly took over, and immediately started to prepare for this mini album and the farewell concert.

On March 3, JYB Entertainment announced through its official website that its singer Zheng Yizhan has decided to officially withdraw from the music industry after his contract expires.The last solo mini-album "GOODBYE" will be released on May 31, and a farewell concert will be held at the Olympic Stadium in Shoushan City on June 5, the fifth anniversary of their debut.

As soon as this news came out, the entire Han Nanguo was completely shocked.

Everyone couldn't believe the news.Both artists and fans in the music industry were shocked on the spot.

Afterwards, the whole of South Korea was "exploded".Countless fans raged against this news on the Internet, and raged against JYB Entertainment's inaction.

They couldn't believe it at all, Zheng Yizhan, who had just sat on the "God's Throne" of the South Korean music industry, would choose to retire at this most glorious time!

When his friends got the news, they called him one after another, or asked, or tried to dissuade him.He explained them one by one.

The first time Jesica got the news, she called him in the dormitory, and the other girls surrounded her nervously and silently.

"Jesica." Zheng Yizhan answered the phone.

"Ouba, is it true that you are going to retire?" She immediately asked with concern.

"Well, it's true."

"Why, Oppa? You have just reached the peak! You can obviously be active for a few more years!"

He was silent for a moment, and said: "I'm already 30 years old. Instead of letting fans watch me go downhill and disappoint them, it's better to leave them with the best and brightest side."

He paused before continuing: "Also, only if one of us leaves the music industry, can we be together smoothly in the future. I don't want you to quit Girls' Generation, I know how important this name and members are to you .So I chose to leave."

Hearing this, Jesica was completely stunned, her eyes turned red instantly, tears swirled in her eyes, and then flowed down.

The other girls were also stunned, and then looked at the tearful Jesica with red eyes, feeling extremely complicated.

"I don't want it! Oppa, I don't want you to do this! You don't want to do this!" Jesica choked up.

"Little fool, why are you crying?" He said softly, "I already have my own career. Even if I no longer stand on the stage, I still won't leave, I just changed my identity. Besides, I am a man, Isn't it right to protect the woman you like? You should be happy to have such an excellent man who loves you by your side."

"Ouba! Don't leave, okay? My contract is about to expire, so I can leave!" she cried.

"Not good. I have already decided on this matter and announced it to the public. You can renew your contract with the company with peace of mind, continue to carry out the artist career you love with Taeyeon and the others, and leave the rest to me." He said She said softly, "Don't worry, even if I stop being an artist, I can still support you, and I can raise you up to make you fat and fat."

He made one last joke.

She was amused by him, but she couldn't hold back her tears.

"Okay, don't cry, good boy. You listen to me on this matter. If you really want to make it up to me, you can marry me immediately after your contract renewal expires!" He said with a smile.

"Well! Then you must wait for me, Ouba!" She wiped away the tears on her face and said firmly.

"Of course! Well, let's do this first. I still have some things here, let's talk later!" He said.

"Okay, Ouba." She hung up the phone reluctantly.

"Oni!" When the members around her saw her hang up the phone, they all threw themselves on her at once, laughing while weeping.

……

On April 4nd, JYB held a press conference for the outside world. Almost all the media in South Korea gathered at the press conference site of JYB Entertainment.

Park Zhenrong and Zheng Yizhan attended the press conference.

The press conference had just started, and all the media reporters frantically started asking questions, regardless of the presenter.

Zheng Yizhan sat on the stage and raised his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet.Only then did everyone gradually quiet down, staring at Zheng Yizhan on the stage, waiting for him to speak.

"I am Zheng Yizhan. I am very glad that you can come to my press conference. The news that I will quit the music industry after the contract with JYB Entertainment expires is true! The reason for my decision to retire is not from the outside world As I guessed, but because of my own reasons to make this decision."

He paused, and continued: "In the brutal competition in the South Korean music industry, it is already a miracle that I can achieve such an achievement at the age of 30. And my age is destined to be no longer the same as it is now." After all, I am already an 'old man'. Therefore, I decided to give up this position to young people while achieving such brilliant achievements.

"Here, I want to express my sincerest thanks to the fans who have always supported me and loved me for the past 5 years. At the same time, I also want to express my most solemn apology to my fans. I am very sorry!"

After speaking, he stood up and bowed solemnly to the camera.

"At the same time, I would like to express my gratitude to JYB Entertainment and my boss Park Zhenrong. Thanks for the help, training, care and tolerance to me in the past five years!"

He turned and bowed to Park Jin-young beside him.

Park Zhenrong quickly stood up and helped him up, and the two hugged each other sincerely.

All the reporters at the scene had a lot of questions to ask.But at this moment, they suddenly felt that it was unnecessary.

They looked at the two people who were sincerely embracing on the stage, and gave their own applause.
