“oppa！”

When Cheon Myung-hoon walked into the store with two bags of snacks, he saw Yun'er rushing towards her like a milk swallow.

I haven't seen you for a day, isn't it...... Sika and the others are watching......

But this thought was only fleeting, and Cheon Myung-hoon quickly strengthened his mind.

Now that the relationship has been confirmed, Yun'er is not afraid of making it public, so I am still afraid of being a man......

"Oppa, why did you come! What did you buy? Fried chicken ......"

Yuna didn't throw herself into her arms as Qian Myung-hoon expected, but snatched the bag in his hand like a robbery, flipped it back and forth, and still chanted words in her mouth.

Qian Mingxun's eyes darkened, and he almost fainted with anger.

Sure enough, I'm still too naïve, and I'm making a fuss here.

Cheon Myung-hoon looked at Yuna silently for a long time, but her attention still couldn't shift to herself.

I sighed inwardly, but fortunately, the others were still very polite. Sika was the first to come up to say hello, and Suyoung Yori Hyoyeon also stood up and saluted.

"Oppa come and sit here. ”

"Myeonghoon oppa is good!"

"Well, it's all here. Cheon Myung-hoon waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and then sat down in Sika's place.

"oppa, this is what we ordered for you!" Xiuying pointed to a plate of gimbap in front of Cheon Myung-hoon.

"Hmm......" Qian Mingxun hesitated: "If I pay later, don't I have to say thank you?"

"Ah...... No thanks, of course!"

"yes, we're all so close. It's so amazing to say thank you!"

"Yes, we are sisters, this is what should be done!"

Well, this is a dear and a sister's. Cheon Myung-hoon also understood their careful thoughts.

"Okay, I see, that's it. If you continue, I'm embarrassed to hear it. ”

Qian Mingxun was no longer polite, picked up a piece of rice and put it in his mouth and chewed it.

Isn't it just that I will pay for your treat, and I have already been mentally prepared!

Gimbap is one of the cheapest instant foods, just like the steamed buns of the Celestial Empire. Even if it is a seaweed bun restaurant in JN District, it is really not expensive.

Although the total number of six servings must have exceeded 10,000 won, it is still not a burden.

Squeezing these girls' pitiful pocket money, Qian Myung-hoon can't do such a thing. The trainee subsidy issued by S.M Company is not enough at all, and Cheon Myung-hoon also came over like that. Of course, he knew all these things very well.

This seaweed bun restaurant on Rodeo Street is famous. Although Qian Mingxun does not come often, it is a holy place in the mouth of the trainees. It's the go-to place to treat yourself after a busy day of practice. And not only the artists of S.M, but also the trainees of JYP and other companies will come here.

S.M (former site) is located at 521, Apgujeong 2-dong, and JYP's address is 123-50, Cheongdam-dong.

And Rodeo Street is the dividing line between Apgujeong and Cheongdam-dong!

The vicinity of Cheongdam-dong is a paradise for artists, and later S.M's new site was also moved to Cheongdam-dong. As long as fans are patient and squatting for a while, they can always see a few popular artists.

Cheon Myung-hoon was not very interested in gimbap, so after eating a few pieces, he pushed the plate to the middle of the table, signaling the girls to take it if they liked.

But compared to the fried chicken and other delicacies that Cheon Myung-hoon bought, gimbap has completely fallen out of favor. Alone, there is no one who wants to deal with it.

Cheon Myung-hoon is picky about eating and has too much food that he doesn't like. Things like green onion cake, miso soup, etc...... Cheon Myung-hoon, who doesn't eat green onions, will retch when he smells it, and he can't eat a single bit.

Cheon Myung-hoon is also indifferent to these fast foods. After all, he didn't have the opportunity to eat these things since he was a child. The eating habits of the Qian family had a great influence on Qian Myeong-hoon.

"What should I do, I still want to eat soup and rice......"

"There's always a chance for soup and rice. Barbecue is true love, Korean beef!"

Sure enough, man's desires are endless. After being whetted with an appetite, the girls began to think of other delicacies.

“oppa~！”

Seeing Yun'er looking at herself flatteringly, as if there were two big words of barbecue written in her eyes, Qian Mingxun was a little unhappy in her heart.

Can I only be remembered when I mention eating?

"Don't think about it, it's impossible!" Cheon Myung-hoon decisively shattered Yuna's illusions.

"Ah...... Why!" Loss and confusion immediately appeared on Yuna's face.

"Ah, Lin Yun'er, am I your wallet? Did you say a word to me after entering the door? If you eat barbecue, can I leave after settling the bill, huh?"

“…… I said it at the time. Yuna lowered her head and muttered quietly.

"That's what you said to me! I'm sorry, I didn't hear it. ”

When Cheon Myung-hoon is in a bad mood, his language will be a little out of control, but only those who are familiar with him will be like this. If it had been a stranger, he would have turned around and left.

Do I have a lot of time?

The other girls were also a little at a loss, as they weren't doing much better. It's all about eating, and leaving Qian Mingxun aside.

"Oppa, don't be angry, Yuna didn't mean to. Everyone is very happy to see you...... "In the end, Sika has to come to the round."

Cheon Myung-hoon wasn't really angry, but that kind of jealousy-like feeling.

But what vinegar is there to eat! When did barbecue become my rival?

It's kind of funny to think about it that way.

Seeing Yun'er silently bowing her head again, Qian Mingxun's last trace of dissatisfaction also disappeared.

It's rare to see Yun'er like this now, it's really distressing!

What do you have to worry about? Is it your purpose to make the atmosphere like this now?

Obviously, I just said last night how much I like her, and I decided to make her laugh carefree in the future.

Could it be that he has broken his promise so quickly? I can't help but be a man for this little thing!

"I'm not angry. Although he regretted it in his heart, when it came to a man's self-esteem, Qian Mingxun still resolutely denied it.

Seeing that Yun'er didn't react at all, Sika also had an expression of disbelief on her face.

Several girls stopped what they were doing and looked at each other.

I don't know if I should continue or not.

In such an atmosphere, everyone was silent for about a minute, and Cheon Myung-hoon really couldn't stay any longer.

He stood up on the ground, a move that startled a few people. Yoona also looked up at Cheon Myung-hoon.

Qian Mingxun looked at the clock on the wall and said lightly: "Clean up the unfinished food, and leave now!"

“oppa！”

Seeing that Cheon Myung-hoon seemed to be leaving, Yuna didn't care about anything else, got up and pounced on her, and hugged Cheon Myung-hoon hard.

Although this move was too exciting, in this situation, the other girls did not think about it.

If they weren't embarrassed, they might have done something similar.

Cheon Myung-hoon was a little stunned by Yun'a like this, because his intentions were not what everyone thought at all.

Cheon Myung-hoon just saw that the time was barely enough, and decided to take them to the barbecue restaurant as a way to make up for Yoona.

Maybe it's because his tone is a little flater.

But he couldn't greet everyone with great interest: Let's go, let's go to eat barbecue together!

That's a shame, isn't it?

When encountering this embarrassment, in order to maintain the image, it is necessary to deal with it calmly and coldly.

"Don't they all want to eat barbecue? If you don't leave, you won't have time. ”

When Yuna heard this, the arm surrounding Cheon Myung-hoon couldn't help but let go.

"Don't you plan to go like this? ten, ten, nine, eight..."

Cheon Myung-hoon moved towards the door as he counted, preparing to leave with a cold and handsome back.

But then, a devastating voiceover sounded:

"Sir, please stay, you will spend ...... in total"

Ay...... West!

————

In the blink of an eye, it was already the first weekend after the official apprenticeship.

Cheon Myung-hoon arrives at Lee Sun-hee's studio, where he is going to receive his first formal teaching today.

After that plan was affirmed by his father, Cheon Myung-hoon also received the answer he craved the most. With all the parents and teachers present, Cheon Myung-hoon solemnly completed the standard apprenticeship to Lee Sun-hee.

From then on, he officially set sail for his dream!

……

"You go to the studio and sing this song. ”

"Good teacher. ”

Cheon Myung-hoon took the song sheet handed to him by Lee Sun-hee: "You Raise Me Up"!

The song caused a worldwide shock when it was released last year. The uplifting power contained in it has been admired by countless listeners. And Cheon Myung-hoon also clearly knows that even ten years later, this song is still a classic among classics.

It's really very familiar, and Cheon Myung-hoon walked into the studio with confidence. The first teaching task assigned by the teacher will definitely be completed by yourself!

Lee Sun-hee picked up the headphones and pressed the record button. Start playing music and signal that Cheon Myung-hoon is ready to start.

……

You raise me up

You inspire me

To more than I can be

So that I can surpass myself

……

After singing a song, Lee Sun-hee asked Cheon Myung-hoon to listen to the recording of the song and then evaluate herself.

Accuracy of pitch...... Control of the rhythm...... In terms of the completion of the song, it even surpasses the original song.

But whether it's Cheon Myung-hoon or Lee Sun-hee, he even took it out to anyone.

will definitely think that the singing is not as good as the original singing.

Why?

Since officially accepting Qian Mingxun as a closed disciple, Li Shanji has also been thinking about it for a long time. How should I teach Cheon Myung-hoon?

If it's someone else, even if it's a singer who has already become famous. But Lee Sun-hee can also find out the problems of the other party and guide them.

But Cheon Myung-hoon has reached a perfect position in terms of sound control. That's a good thing, but it's also a problem.

Putting aside the incompleteness of the congenital pentatonic ones. For the average person, the vocal range is the biggest limitation, and they can't even finish a full song. And for singers, the control of the voice is a must for everyone.

Sufficient control over the sound can allow the limited vocal range to be fully exploited, even if it is not wide. But also because of the limitation of vocal range, most singers can only find the most suitable singing method for themselves.

After that, even if this song is sung a hundred times, it is only a hundred times of consolidation and familiarization. It's hard to break away from established limitations. Even highly talented singers are constantly adding new understandings to songs in the process of continuous improvement of their singing skills.

While the final result may be very different from the previous one, it is a mutually reinforcing and gradual process.

But Cheon Myung-hoon is different, he has enough control and vocal range. And it was achieved without enough experience. Any song, Cheon Myung-hoon can sing a hundred different feelings in a whimsical way!

But because he can perfectly replicate all the singing methods, it is difficult for him to find the one that suits him best!

This question is really a bit of a headache, and Li Shanji also feels that there is nowhere to start. If you simply teach him your own understanding, it may solidify Cheon Myung-hoon's singing consciousness.

Cutting off such a whimsical imagination is a price that outweighs the cost!

After a lot of thinking and summarizing, Lee Sun-hee finally came up with a solution!

She named her training course for Cheon Myung-hoon: Improve the beauty of the voice!

Beauty and quality are not the same. It's like a wooden chair, it can be practical, but it's also ugly.

Cheon Myung-hoon has an extremely high-quality voice, and he can easily complete all kinds of vocalizations. You don't even need to deliberately practice any skills, everything is easy and natural.

Therefore, on the basis of high quality, the beauty of the sound is constantly improved. This is Cheon Myung-hoon's task.

is also in disguise to improve Cheon Myung-hoon's aesthetics, allowing him to deeply understand what is a beautiful voice.

"You Raise Me Up" is just one of the representative songs, and Lee Sun-hee has prepared a lot of others. Not just pop music, but also classical, jazz, opera, and more.

In the future, Qian Mingxun will need to continue to understand and express in his own way, which is really a big project!

"You have so much control over your voice that you don't even know how to control it yourself. ”

Lee Sun-hee's half-praise and half-criticism made Cheon Myung-hoon not know how to respond.

"Many singers' falsetto voices are no less than real voices, but why use real voices as much as possible?"

"Because you're too tired to use falsetto?" replied Cheon Myung-hoon hesitantly.

"Say nothing!" Li Shanji gently patted Qian Mingxun when she heard this.

"Because the real voice is the most natural and the most intimate thing. No matter how well the falsetto is practiced, it will make the listener's heart clench involuntarily. So it can only be used in the right place. ”

"Yes, I remember. ”

"Although you have a wide vocal range, falsetto is also something that you have to work on. In fact, your treble has already taken on the characteristics of instrumentation, which may be that you have unconsciously changed yourself in order to adapt to the noisy environment when the band is playing. ”

Cheon Myung-hoon nodded, he just felt that this method was the most penetrating.

"It's a metalized sound that fits well in rock, but it can be very obtrusive in pop songs. Did you find out?"

"No ......" no one has ever told him about this question, and Cheon Myung-hoon has always felt that as long as the treble is completed with quality and quantity. The audience is high, who cares so much about you.

"Don't worry, it's not a bad thing. Soon you'll be in control. ”

"Okay teacher, I remember. ”

……

After the study, Lee Sun-hee did not forget to tell Cheon Myung-hoon:

"Swimming and running must be consistent, this is the best way to improve lung capacity. You're still developing, so don't rush to get fit. Abs are important for breathing and explosiveness, but it's also important to work out later. ”

Although Chi Myung-hoon's ability to control his body has reached the pervert level, his physical fitness needs to be exercised to improve.

Therefore, on the road to success, you still need enough sweat to wash it!
