"Senior, hello, we are Girls' Generation!" The nine girls said this together, and it was quite impressive.

Yoon Hyun was momentarily dazed.

Ah! Girls' Generation? Have these girls debuted? For a moment, Yoon Hyun's memories from his past life and this life became a bit confused.

Yoon Hyun's gaze swept over the nine girls' faces, finding Yoon Ah pouting and Seohyun, who was a bit excited on the side.

"Hello, I am Yoon Hyun." Yoon Hyun also stood up and respectfully returned a bow.

"Senior, hello, I am Taeyeon." The small girl at the front introduced herself.

"I am Jessica."

"I am Sooyoung."

"I am Yuri."

"I am Hyoyeon."

"I am Tiffany."

"I am Sunny."

"I am Yoon Ah."

"I am Seohyun."

The nine girls introduced themselves one by one.

Yoon Hyun nodded to each of them with a smile. Then he said, "Alright, the greetings are done, no need to be so formal. I only debuted four months earlier than you. You can just call me OPPA..." His eyes immediately turned to Yoon Ah, who was about to speak, and said sternly, "No calling me Uncle!"

"Ha ha..." Seohyun, who had been holding back since the beginning, finally couldn't help but laugh. (Note: It's better to call her Seohyun now.)

"Seohyun, did you change your name?" Yoon Hyun decided to chat with this young girl first.

"Yes, OPPA. But you can call me Seohyun or Seoohyun, either is fine." Seohyun's response was still polite.

"Are you Kim Taeyeon?" Yoon Hyun's gaze turned to the small girl at the front.

"Yes, Se... Yoon Hyun OPPA." Kim Taeyeon's response was still very polite.

"It's fine, no need to be too nervous." Then he turned to Jessica, who seemed a bit spaced out, and said, "You're Jessica, right?"

"... Yes." Jessica, as if suddenly awakened, quickly responded.

"I heard you two sing well. Keep it up. I hope to have the chance to work with you." Yoon Hyun smiled and said to the two girls.

OPPA Yoon Hyun has heard of us? Kim Taeyeon's first reaction was to look at Yoon Ah, but she saw Yoon Ah shake her head, indicating she didn't know anything.

Yoon Hyun then greeted each of the girls and gave appropriate praise.

"Yoon Ah."

"Uncle... OPPA." Yoon Ah hesitated for a moment, then looked at the other sisters and had to call him OPPA.

"Right, it's been a while since we last met. By the way, which one of singing, dancing, or acting have you practiced the most?" Yoon Hyun joked with Yoon Ah.

"Ah!" Yoon Ah instantly got riled up.

Yoon Hyun ignored the riled-up Yoon Ah but inwardly laughed wickedly.

"Since you are a team that S.M. is fully promoting, I'm sure you'll become famous quickly." Yoon Hyun began to speak like a senior. Just as Yoon Ah was about to lose it, she was calmed down by Yuri and Sunny on either side. "Becoming famous isn't hard at all. Look at me, and look at the seniors in your company. It might just be a moment, and you'll have the applause and cheers that many people dream of on stage."

Yoon Hyun deliberated and decided not to mention anything about fans. First, no one would believe it if he said it now. Second, without experiencing the storms, you can't see the rainbow. Otherwise, with S.M.'s style, this group probably wouldn't last five years.

"For you, becoming famous, or even a sensation, isn't hard. What's hard is finding the path that led you to the top when you're at the peak. At least one of you has been a trainee for five years, right?" Yoon Hyun said, scanning the group, pausing especially on Jessica. "There's an old saying in China, 'accumulated strength leads to a sudden burst.' It's your time now. With fame comes ridicule, sarcasm, defamation, and false accusations... a lot. Even responsibilities that aren't yours will be placed on your shoulders. I hope you can always stick to your初心 (initial aspirations) and remember where your dreams began. Finally, I'll give you a piece of advice: you can withstand as much praise as you can handle criticism. You might not understand this now, but one day you will."

The girls were a bit dazed by Yoon Hyun's words.

This couldn't be blamed on Yoon Hyun. In his past life, he had a certain affection for this group, which later became the undisputed top girl group in Korea. Naturally, he had high hopes for the nine girls who were now at the starting line.

Seeing the girls' state, Yoon Hyun realized he had gone a bit too deep and sighed inwardly, signaling that it was time to leave. The girls also breathed a sigh of relief, bowed, and left the waiting room. Seohyun, who was the last to leave, suddenly turned to Yoon Hyun and said, "OPPA Yoon Hyun, I'll remember what you said. Although I can't fully understand it yet, I think it makes a lot of sense."

Yoon Hyun smiled and nodded at the straightforward girl, saying, "I hope you never have to understand it. That way, you'll be happier."

Seohyun nodded cutely and then turned to follow her sisters.

"Yoon Ah, is Yoon Hyun xi always this serious?" As soon as they left the waiting room, Kim Taeyeon, who had let out a long breath, immediately began to interrogate Yoon Ah.

"Not really? Uncle has always been quite humorous." Yoon Ah was a bit puzzled, "Who knows what's up with him today?"

"Maybe he's feeling important because he's famous?" Yuri said disdainfully.

"It's not that. Yoon Hyun xi seems to care about us." Jessica, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly interjected. She clearly felt that Yoon Hyun's gaze had intentionally paused on her when he mentioned the training period, which made her feel quite grateful.

"What care? It's probably just what Yoon Ah or Seohyun said, right?" Choi Sooyoung was also unconvinced.

"I haven't been in touch with Yoon Hyun OPPA for almost three months. At that time, we didn't even know who would be in the group. He definitely didn't get that information from me." Yoon Ah immediately tried to clear her name and turned to Seohyun.

"It's not me either. I've never talked about the group with Yoon Hyun OPPA." Seohyun quickly added.

"It seems Yoon Hyun OPPA really has high hopes for us." Not finding a reason, the nine girls could only use this self-deception to resolve their doubts.

In the waiting room.

"Yoon Hyun xi seems to have high expectations for these girls!" Manager Kim Sooyeon's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

"These girls have potential. I have high hopes for them." Yoon Hyun naturally saw through Kim Sooyeon's intentions and said sincerely.

"It seems you haven't been this enthusiastic about Wonder Girls. They admire you so much." Kim Sooyeon didn't seem to want to let Yoon Hyun off the hook.

"That's because JYP is a bit unreliable." Yoon Hyun shook his head, "His strong personal style means others will be branded, which is both good and tragic for Wonder Girls."

Kim Sooyeon fell silent. Indeed, compared to Wonder Girls, the difference between the two groups was evident from Yoon Hyun's evaluation of the nine Girls' Generation members today.

"Is this a diversified development?" Kim Sooyeon mused.

"No, this should be called: there's always one that suits you." Yoon Hyun joked.

Kim Sooyeon's eyes lit up, "Like Morning Musume in Japan..."

"Something like that." Yoon Hyun thought of AKB48, which had already been formed but was still in the small theater stage, not yet famous...

Kim Sooyeon, enlightened by Yoon Hyun's hint, fell into a state of epiphany, and the waiting room became quiet.

But it didn't stay quiet for long. Liu Zaishi and the others, who were also participating in the stage performance, arrived one after another. With the Infinite Challenge group, the waiting room immediately became as noisy as a market.

"Hey! Why does only Yoon Hyun have a mic, and we don't?" Lu Hongzhe, who discovered this secret, showed great dissatisfaction.

"Lu Girl, for the sake of the audience and your own health, don't have such dreams." Haha mercilessly threw a skull bomb, a common move in Infinite Challenge.

"But I really didn't expect the MV to cause such a big stir overseas." Liu Zaishi sighed, "If I had known, I wouldn't have worn those frog sunglasses during the shoot!"

"Right, I think next time we go to Southeast Asia, we won't be like last time in the Philippines, where no one came to pick us up." For Jung Hoon, who wore a suit to board the plane for the deserted island, the incident at the airport was a painful memory.

"I still remember when Son Ye-jin xi was dancing for me during the MV shoot!" Haha had a dreamy look, "That's a memory I'll never forget in my life!"

"Hey, you little kid, don't think too much!" Jung Hoon interrupted Haha's dream and said unhappily, "Why am I still blocked by Jung Hoon in the MV? And I still don't have any lines?"

The entire room burst into laughter.

Only Park Myung-soo sat on the side with his legs crossed, silent.

"Son of the devil, what are you doing?" Liu Zaishi noticed Park Myung-soo's state.

"Talking to a world star, do you have an appointment?" Park Myung-soo gave Liu Zaishi a disdainful look...

The group laughed and joked while watching the live broadcast on TV.

Soon, Lee Ji-eun and Park Ji-yeon arrived and naturally bowed to the seniors.

Just as Liu Zaishi was teasing the two girls with Yoon Hyun, the PD announced that the final special stage was about to begin.

So, with various emotions, the group went to the stage preparation area.

"What a big stage!"

"I'm so nervous!"

"You won't forget how to dance, right?"

"Of course not, it's already a part of my body!"

...

The host MC announced loudly, "Finally, let's welcome the last special stage of the day, from Yoon Hyun and Infinite Challenge, 'Gangnam Style'!"

The entire audience erupted in cheers.

Everyone took their positions as rehearsed, ready for the performance.

As the intro music played, Yoon Hyun said, "Those who can sing and dance, join us!"

"OPPA Gangnam Style!"

The entire audience shouted in unison.

The entire song, the music center was like a celebration, with over ten thousand audience members singing and dancing together.

On stage, the seven MCs of Infinite Challenge, along with Park Ji-yeon and Lee Ji-eun, were also happily dancing.

The entire program was a sea of joy.

After the performance, Yoon Hyun was taken to a restaurant, where he wouldn't leave until he was drunk!

Of course, the other six MCs might be funnier than Yoon Hyun, but when it came to drinking... After even the sneaky Liu Zaishi was finally taken down by Yoon Hyun, a sense of loneliness and emptiness arose in Yoon Hyun's heart.

Yoon Hyun helplessly called in the managers who were chatting outside, arranged for the seniors to be sent home, and then took a car back home.

Just as Yoon Hyun was closing his eyes to rest, his phone rang.

He opened it to see a message from Lee Ji-hyeon.

-OPPA, thank you for the song you gave me, it's really beautiful.

Looking at the message from Lee Ji-hyeon, Yoon Hyun smiled silently.

Some things hadn't even happened and were already over.

This was for the best, a small tribute.

At this moment, the long-held obsession in Yoon Hyun's heart was finally completely let go.
