Chapter 95

After a while of chatting, Li Haoyan, who had finally come to his senses, quickly composed himself and continued speaking with the air of a president: "From now on, besides going to the music shows every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to continue promoting yourself, you should spend the rest of your time working on the new album."

Li Haoyan waved his hand grandly and said with great enthusiasm: "I need you to prepare the new album within three months. Three months is more than enough."

"No problem!" Jin Yufan nodded calmly. Compared to some groups or solo singers who only have a month to prepare for a new album, the time Li Haoyan gave him was neither too much nor too little.

Of course, Jin Yufan still had to spend a lot of time each week promoting himself on music shows, not fully dedicating himself to the new album. Although it was three months, when you break it down, it was roughly equivalent to the one month of full preparation others had.

Jin Yufan answered so straightforwardly and calmly because he had absolute confidence in himself and knew that this was Li Haoyan's decision, even an order. At this moment, Jin Yufan would not choose to oppose Li Haoyan; that would be too unwise, a typical case of making trouble for himself when everything was going smoothly.

"Taiwan?"

"No problem, I've already taken care of it!" Li Haoyan calmly interrupted Jin Yufan.

"I've spoken to Universal Music in Taiwan and arranged for you to spend more time developing in Korea for now. Once you have a certain level of fame, you can go to Taiwan to develop, which will undoubtedly make it easier for you to succeed."

This time, Jin Yufan chose to remain silent. Since Li Haoyan had arranged everything, it was clear that he was determined. What more could Jin Yufan say?

Li Haoyan continued to chat with Jin Yufan about some aspects of life. After about ten more minutes, the originally smiling and amiable Li Haoyan suddenly disappeared, leaving only a serious and stern expression.

That was an extremely serious and solemn look. Just seeing Li Haoyan's expression, Jin Yufan was taken aback and involuntarily became more alert.

Because seeing Li Haoyan's expression, Jin Yufan's heart suddenly tightened, knowing that something significant was about to happen.

This matter had a huge impact and relevance to Li Haoyan and even to DSP Entertainment. Otherwise, the usually cheerful Li Haoyan would not be so cautious.

"Jin Yufan, I have something to tell you. Listen carefully and remember, just listen, don't say anything, understand?"

Seeing Li Haoyan rarely call him by his full name and with an unusually stern tone, Jin Yufan's premonition became even stronger.

"After much consideration, I have made a final decision." Ignoring Jin Yufan, Li Haoyan spoke slowly and heavily.

"Finally, due to various reasons, I have decided to disband Sechs Kies!"

Boom! As soon as Li Haoyan finished speaking, Jin Yufan felt as if a thunderbolt had struck his ears, leaving him completely dazed.

Disbanding Sechs Kies, the top group under DSP Entertainment, which had a higher status than Fin.K.L and could be said to be the reason DSP Entertainment had reached its current level, was a decision that would undoubtedly cause a massive earthquake in the Korean music industry.

At this moment, Jin Yufan finally understood why Li Haoyan was so serious and solemn.

Disbanding Sechs Kies would undoubtedly be a major earthquake for DSP Entertainment, with far-reaching impacts. Not only that, but it would also be a major earthquake for the entire Korean music industry and entertainment industry.

Don't think that S.M. Entertainment's HOT is much more popular than Sechs Kies. That's only because S.M. Entertainment has a vast network of connections and economic power, and has done well in overseas development and promotion, giving the impression that Sechs Kies is far less popular than HOT.

But in fact, in Korea, Sechs Kies' popularity and influence, although not as high as HOT, is not far behind.

The disbanding of Sechs Kies would undoubtedly cause a strong earthquake in the Korean music industry.

As for the impact and shock this earthquake would have on the Korean music industry and DSP Entertainment itself, it is currently unknown. But one thing is certain: DSP Entertainment, especially President Li Haoyan, will face the fierce hatred and "attacks" of Sechs Kies' vast fan base.

With the words spoken, Li Haoyan had no more reservations and continued: "Actually, I had this idea back in 2000, but considering the timing wasn't right and your appearance, I didn't disband Sechs Kies in 2000. But now, I am truly determined to disband Sechs Kies. This might be unfair and cruel to the kids, but to be honest, I have no choice. These kids were personally trained and developed by me, and I don't want to disband Sechs Kies. Unfortunately, as the president of DSP, I must prioritize the interests of DSP over personal feelings. Now, Sechs Kies can no longer bring the expected benefits to DSP, so disbanding is inevitable."

With a long sigh, Li Haoyan leaned back in his chair, looking at Jin Yufan with a tired expression and a weak voice: "There's no way around it. Our company's funds and strength cannot compare to S.M. Entertainment. If someone cannot bring enough benefits to the company, they will be abandoned. Therefore, Jin Yufan, although I value you highly, if you do not meet my expectations within a certain period, I will also abandon you. Remember this well."

Jin Yufan nodded without saying anything. Although he was shocked, he understood after hearing Li Haoyan's words.

As Li Haoyan said, he is first and foremost the president of DSP Entertainment. The position and responsibilities of a president always come before any brotherly, mentor, or friendship relationships.

Losing value and being abandoned, although cruel and unfair, is a common occurrence throughout history.

To be honest, Jin Yufan was not very familiar with the members of Sechs Kies. Among all the artists under DSP Entertainment, he was only relatively familiar with Fin.K.L.

Jin Yufan could understand Li Haoyan's difficulties and reasons, so he did not say anything.

Jin Yufan was so shaken because his mind clearly told him that with the disbanding of Sechs Kies, HOT would also disband in May of this year...

It seemed that from the disbanding of Sechs Kies, the original top ten groups of the first generation in Korea, except for the uniquely united and special group Shinhwa, would all disband one after another.

The top ten groups that ruled the Korean pop music industry for five years would quickly disband and disappear, leaving only the memories of their former glory and beauty for countless fans to recall.
