Chapter 66

After having a great day playing with BOA, the next day, Kim Yoo Fan proactively ended his final pre-debut vacation and instead chose to return to DSP Entertainment to busy himself with his debut preparations.

"The Way U Are" has already been recorded with the help of Cho Heuk, and even the music video has been completed with the roaring voice of Lee Min-soo and the help of Moon Geun-young.

Currently, the main work and preparations have all been completed, leaving only some minor details to be taken care of.

Indeed, when he came to the company to announce to Lee Ho-yeon that he was ending his vacation early, Lee Ho-yean did not hesitate and directly sent him to the publicity department of DSP Entertainment, where he met the head of the publicity department, Lee Jae-woo.

Lee Jae-woo is a man in his early thirties, with short hair and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, giving off a very sunny impression. However, Kim Yoo Fan knew from the four seniors of Fin.K.L that Lee Jae-woo is definitely one of the people at DSP Entertainment who cannot be provoked.

Sometimes, Lee Jae-woo is even more untouchable than Lee Ho-yeon.

The reason is simple: Lee Jae-woo is the head of the publicity department at DSP Entertainment. Don't underestimate this position. In the Korean entertainment industry, the role of the publicity department is absolutely crucial.

Because the entertainment industry is all about publicity. Artists need publicity to gain popularity and attention. Even if you are incredibly talented, without the efforts of the publicity department, it would be very difficult to survive in the entertainment industry.

For example, if Kim Yoo Fan were to offend Lee Jae-woo, it might not seem like a big deal on the surface, but if Lee Jae-woo were unhappy and wanted to make things difficult for Kim Yoo Fan, there would be plenty of opportunities, and the effects would be very noticeable.

All he would need to do is occasionally leak some damaging information about Kim Yoo Fan to the media, whether it's true or not, and Kim Yoo Fan's image would suffer a significant blow, which would naturally be a huge loss for his popularity.

More importantly, if someone were to attack Kim Yoo Fan online and Lee Jae-woo did nothing to help, the situation would likely get worse and worse, ultimately leading to Kim Yoo Fan leaving the entertainment industry. Even DSP Entertainment might be forced to abandon and freeze Kim Yoo Fan due to the pressure.

From this, it is clear how important the position of the head of the publicity department is in the major entertainment companies in Korea. It is a position of great power and influence, and even more so when the head of the publicity department at DSP Entertainment is someone like Lee Jae-woo.

Lee Ho-yeon once commented on Lee Jae-woo, saying, "Lee Jae-woo is absolutely a perfect head of the publicity department."

From this statement, it is clear that Lee Ho-yeon highly appreciates Lee Jae-woo, recognizing his work capabilities and acknowledging that he is not an easy person to deal with.

Over the years, DSP Entertainment has become one of the four major entertainment companies in the Korean music industry, and Lee Jae-woo has played a significant role in this achievement.

Throughout the years, DSP Entertainment has faced numerous attacks and smears against its artists, and Lee Jae-woo has been the one to handle and resolve these issues.

To become one of the four major entertainment companies in the Korean music industry, no company is simple, and DSP Entertainment is no exception. Over the years, due to the company's needs, the personal preferences of President Lee Ho-yeon, or to benefit the company and its artists, DSP Entertainment has also engaged in attacking and smearing other artists, and these tasks have been handled by Lee Jae-woo.

Therefore, for Lee Jae-woo, the head of the publicity department at DSP Entertainment, who appears to be a very ordinary person and rarely attends high-level company meetings, seemingly having no status or influence in the upper echelons of DSP Entertainment, Kim Yoo Fan did not dare to be the slightest bit careless.

Indeed, after Lee Ho-yeon sent Kim Yoo Fan to the publicity department to meet Lee Jae-woo, Kim Yoo Fan was meticulous in his etiquette, which made Lee Jae-woo smile.

Lee Jae-woo, of course, knew Kim Yoo Fan's status in the eyes of President Lee Ho-yeon, and he did not treat Kim Yoo Fan as casually or arrogantly as he would other trainees and artists.

Now, with Kim Yoo Fan showing great respect, Lee Jae-woo became even more satisfied with him, even taking the initiative to give Kim Yoo Fan a tour of the publicity department and personally sitting him down in front of a computer to input his personal information.

"Favorite singer?" Faced with Lee Jae-woo's question, Kim Yoo Fan furrowed his brow in deep thought.

As the debut date approached, most of the major preparations were complete, leaving only some minor tasks. Now, under Lee Ho-yeon's orders, Kim Yoo Fan had come to the publicity department to fill out his detailed personal information.

"Ha ha, Yoo Fan, you don't need to think too much. Generally, for such preferences, it's best to officially state a preference for a foreign singer. This way, you won't offend the big seniors in the music industry. After all, the seniors of that era were very competitive. If you like someone, the seniors from the same era, or even direct competitors, will be angry and resentful. Mentioning a foreign singer avoids this trouble, but you can't just name a minor artist. It must be a world-class superstar. After all, your favorite singer, in a sense, is also a goal you aspire to and strive for. For you boys, Michael Jackson is the most suitable."

Watching Kim Yoo Fan frown in thought, Lee Jae-woo spoke leisurely, then turned around and directly input Michael Jackson's name into the "favorite singer" section of Kim Yoo Fan's personal information.

Of course, Lee Jae-woo was not acting on his own; he just felt that Michael Jackson's name had to be included, given Kim Yoo Fan's potential and the company's expectations.

However, this was not a single-choice question. If Kim Yoo Fan really had a favorite singer, he could certainly mention them and have their name added to his personal preferences.

Seeing that Lee Jae-woo had already input Michael Jackson's name, Kim Yoo Fan thought for a moment and did not say anything more. He couldn't really think of any other singer he liked, and Michael Jackson was indeed a super superstar, a unique and unparalleled superstar who could be an idol for anyone.

"OK, if there are no issues, let's continue. What languages do you speak?"

"Korean, Chinese, English, Japanese!" This time, Kim Yoo Fan didn't hesitate and quickly answered, then added after a moment's thought, "I can only communicate in basic Japanese."

"Really? You should know that once your personal information is released, it cannot be false. If any part of it is inaccurate, the consequences will be severe." Hearing Kim Yoo Fan's answer, Lee Jae-woo looked at him with some doubt and gave a warning.

"Don't worry, Director Lee. I know, and I do speak these languages."

"OK, if you're sure, then let's continue. Favorite color and food..."
