Chapter 47

Just as he arrived at the door of the Fin.K.L practice room, Jin Yufan's face immediately fell, and for some reason, his mood suddenly became extremely irritable.

Although Jin Yufan did not enter the Fin.K.L practice room, even from outside the door, he could vaguely hear the sound of a woman crying from behind it.

The sound of crying in the Fin.K.L practice room made Jin Yufan suddenly freeze. Although he had thought that Fin.K.L's recent situation was not good, he did not expect it to be this bad—bad enough to make the Fin.K.L members hide in the practice room to cry.

Although he had not yet opened the door to see who it was, Jin Yufan was very clear in his mind that at this moment, the only people who could cry in the Fin.K.L dedicated practice room were the members of Fin.K.L.

Crying is a way to release emotions and a manifestation of one's psychological state. In most cases, people who cry would choose a quiet, secluded place to vent their emotions, not wanting others to see their vulnerable and inner thoughts.

Human nature is such that when choosing a place to cry and vent, people often opt for a place they consider very safe, especially a place they are particularly familiar with, to feel secure.

Moreover, Fin.K.L's current status and influence in the Korean music industry make them the undisputed top act of DSP Entertainment, with a strong team leader like Lee Hyori.

All of this directly results in the Fin.K.L dedicated practice room being generally undisturbed, and no one daring to disturb them, even including the president of DSP Entertainment, Lee Hoya.

Therefore, although he did not know who was crying inside, Jin Yufan could instantly confirm that the person crying was definitely a member of Fin.K.L. As for who exactly it was, Jin Yufan thought about it for a moment and immediately had an answer.

With this in mind, Jin Yufan did not hesitate for a moment, pushed the door open, and quickly closed it. He then turned around and carefully looked around, finding a familiar person, just as he had guessed, sitting on the practice room's resting sofa, head down, and softly crying.

"Unnie Yoo Ri!" Seeing the person, Jin Yufan was silent for a few seconds before finally calling out softly.

Indeed, the person crying was Fin.K.L's maknae, Sung Yoo Ri. As Jin Yufan had guessed, whether it was Lee Hyori or Yoo Jin, they were both very strong and tough people, and it was rare to see them cry. At least within DSP Entertainment, it was absolutely impossible. Their personalities dictated that if they were to cry, they would definitely choose to do so at home, not at DSP Entertainment.

As for Lee Jin, although she often seemed childish and weak, making her appear easy to cry, in reality, Lee Jin was also a tough woman. Just the fact that she once dared to challenge the team leader Lee Hyori in Fin.K.L was enough to show her toughness.

Lee Hyori, Yoo Jin, and Lee Jin were all relatively strong people, so the only one left was Fin.K.L's maknae, Sung Yoo Ri.

Compared to her three seniors, Sung Yoo Ri was indeed much weaker, with a shallow tear duct, and would cry at the slightest委屈. Although she had been in the music industry for several years, she had not experienced much hardship or mistreatment due to the constant care of her three strong seniors, maintaining a very innocent personality.

Undoubtedly, if Fin.K.L were to face any criticism or mistreatment, according to their personalities, Sung Yoo Ri would definitely be the first to cry.

Hearing someone call out, Sung Yoo Ri, who was crying, seemed to be startled and quickly looked up. Seeing Jin Yufan, she hurriedly stood up from the sofa, wiped her tears, and forced a smile, saying, "It's Yufan. When did you come back?"

"just got back!" Jin Yufan slowly walked to Sung Yoo Ri's side, forcibly pulled her back onto the sofa, and carefully looked at her red and swollen eyes, answering lightly.

"Hehe, really? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I had no schedule today. If you had told me, I would have definitely come to pick you up," Sung Yoo Ri said with a slight complaint after taking a deep breath to calm herself.

"Unnie, what's really going on? Tell me, don't treat me like a child, okay? Even if I can't help much now, I will definitely be a good listener. If you have anything on your mind, anything you want to say, just speak it out."

Without responding to Sung Yoo Ri, Jin Yufan just looked at her seriously and spoke in a very gentle tone.

"Hehe, nothing, you must be hungry. How about I take you to eat something? How about some pork belly? You know, Senior Kang Ho Dong just opened a new barbecue restaurant. Given Senior Kang Ho Dong's standards for food, the barbecue at this restaurant must be excellent. Do you want to try it?"

"Unnie!" Seeing Sung Yoo Ri keep changing the subject, Jin Yufan called out to her again in a serious and solemn tone.

Looking at Jin Yufan's expression carefully, Sung Yoo Ri's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she gave up, and all her words turned into a long sigh.

Tears involuntarily slid down Sung Yoo Ri's eyes again: "Yufan, do you know? Fin.K.L is really going to disband."

When she mentioned the disbandment of Fin.K.L, Sung Yoo Ri paused for a moment, then continued with tears streaming down her face: "Although the company has not officially stated it, deep down, even the three unnie know that Fin.K.L is really going to disband."

"No, Unnie, Fin.K.L will always be together, never to disband!" Jin Yufan gently wiped away Sung Yoo Ri's tears and comforted her softly.

"Yufan, don't lie to me. Although I have grown up under the protection of my three seniors, I have been in the industry for several years and have seen many things and heard many pieces of news. Look at the top ten groups from a few years ago; how many of them are still around? They have all disbanded, and now it's our turn, Fin.K.L."

"No, as long as the company does not announce or state it, Fin.K.L will not disband!"

"Yufan, you don't know. Although the company has not officially announced the disbandment of Fin.K.L, we can all clearly feel the company's actions and reactions."

"Unnie Hyori has started practicing dance solo because the company plans to develop her as a solo artist."

"Unnie Yoo Jin is also being scheduled for more radio programs. It's said that the company plans to focus on radio programs for her in the future."

"Unnie Jin is also being specially arranged by the company and is gradually shifting towards variety shows."

At this point, Sung Yoo Ri paused and continued with tears streaming down her face: "As for me, the company has found me an acting teacher, even having Teacher Kim Ji-deok teach me acting. Clearly, the company is preparing to cultivate me as an actress."

At this point, Sung Yoo Ri's tone became agitated, and she stood up from the sofa again, looking very emotional and speaking in a loud voice: "Tell me, what does the company mean by arranging us like this? We are Fin.K.L, we are singers. We don't need to learn acting or comedy, we don't need to familiarize ourselves with radio, and we don't need to experience standing alone on the dance floor. Fin.K.L is Fin.K.L, a Fin.K.L of four people."

After saying this, Sung Yoo Ri seemed to lose all her strength and sat back on the sofa. She looked at Jin Yufan and said softly, lowering her head: "Yufan, if the company is not planning to disband Fin.K.L, what does the company's arrangement mean? Clearly, they want to break up Fin.K.L. By doing this, the company is making Fin.K.L exist in name only while avoiding the attacks and criticism from our fans."
