Chapter 950: Cheon Jaebeom
"Are EVE's preparations going well?" Lei asked as he sat on his chair.
"Yes, sir," Dan responded with a small smile. "They still seem a bit down, but with a little bit of guilt-tripping, they're back to practicing. Most of the tracks had been recorded and edited. The jacket shoot has also been accomplished. The music video shoot started yesterday and will continue tonight after their interview with Billbong."
Lei smiled. "All of that in three days?" he asked. "Must be tiring."
Then he paused for a bit before nodding in approval. "Nice work, Dan. Now that Jay is out of the way, the boys are working harder than ever!"
Dan chuckled and nodded before scratching the back of his neck. "I think they look a bit too tired, though. Do you think we can postpone-"
Lei looked at him like he had grown three heads. "Postpone? Did I hear the right word?" he chuckled.
"The fans are waiting for the album. The faster we get this album out, the faster we'll prove that EVE does not need June to succeed. The boys' well-being is the least of our problems. They should be doing this for the company that had raised them."
Dan pursed his lips and nodded. "You're right, sir," he said. "I don't know what has gotten into me."
"Anyway," Lei said, crossing his arms in front of his chest. "Has Phoenix announced their new CEO yet? I wonder who it will be? Mr. Kris? Mr. Leris? Mr. Norizz? Ah, the possibilities are endless! But what would they do? No matter who they replace Kim Young Do with, I still have some dirt on them as long as they're from Phoenix. Those bastards are dumb for letting me work in their company before."
Dan cleared his throat. "I believe they still haven't replaced Kim Young Do, sir."
"For three days, Phoenix Entertainment stood at a crossroads, with industry insiders reporting growing unease among employees. The sudden leadership vacuum at the top of one of Korea's biggest entertainment companies sparked rumors about the company's direction, leaving fans and stakeholders alike anxious for news of a replacement."
"Now, Phoenix has shocked the industry by appointing Cheon Jaebeom as its new CEO. Jaebeom's appointment comes as a surprise to many, as he has no previous connections to Phoenix Entertainment. The announcement has left experts and employees alike questioning what his leadership will mean for the future of the company. Despite concerns about his lack of ties to Phoenix, Jaebeom is known for his forward-thinking strategies in the business world, which could bring fresh energy to the entertainment sector."
"Cheon Jaebeom?" Lei asked, trying to recall the familiar name. "Have you heard that before?"
"I have," Dan said with a small frown. "But I don't think I've ever seen him in Phoenix. Where did I hear that name again?"
"In a major development accompanying the leadership change, Phoenix has also signed popular singer June, who was recently let go by Azure Entertainment under controversial circumstances. June, who was falsely accused of sexual misconduct, was swiftly proven innocent after the allegations were debunked, causing a public outcry against Azure for their hasty decision to cut ties with the singer."
Dan and Lei turned to each other with wide eyes. Lei's eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets with how shocked he was.
"June with...Phoenix?" he muttered.
Lei was expecting June to be signed soon. With his talent and looks, he was bound to be snatched away. However, Lei also knew how big companies valued their reputations. They wouldn't just sign June-especially when the allegation was still fresh! Only those useless, small entertainment countries would have the guts to sign him at this point of time!
Unless...
"The news of June's signing has sent waves through the entertainment industry as fans eagerly await his next moves under the Phoenix label. To mark his new chapter, June posted a photo on his newly launched social media account, SkEVEidiJune, baffling fans with the image, caption, and the atrocious username."
"The post features June with the new CEO and his long-time friend, Cheon Jaebeom-also known as C-Jay."
