S.M. Company, dance practice studio.

The ten girls stood in two separate rows, letting the sweat from their foreheads run down the corners of their eyes, but not one of them raised their hands to wipe them.

Li Xiuman stopped communicating with the rest of the teachers and examined everyone with a deep gaze. When the girls felt that they couldn't bear it, they all lowered their heads. He finally spoke: "You can see the traces of practice, the children have worked hard!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but the tension did not subside. Because I have experienced too many month-end evaluations, everyone knows that there will be a follow-up.

"It's really hard to give an accurate assessment. Sure enough, Kim Young-min followed up with Li Xiuman's words: "Several teachers have said a lot of good things for you, but in my opinion...... The whole show was boring!"

Kim Young-min is not only in an important position at S.M, but he is also the person in charge of the girl group's planning. Since Li Xiuman chose to sing red-faced, he could only find fault.

The girls were mostly a little overwhelmed. Because they are used to hearing all kinds of criticism, but this is the first time that they have commented that they are boring. But the veteran trainees who have been practicing for a long time have some concepts about this because they are close to their debut predecessors.

"If you continue to evaluate yourself by the standards of trainees, you have done a good job. Kim Young-min didn't shout, but guided Chun Chun and seductively: "But now your goals have changed, and they can no longer be measured simply by the completion of the performance." ”

Kim Yingmin paused slightly, waiting for everyone's attention to come over: "It's the completeness of the stage!"

"You've watched every week's singing show. Do you think you are qualified to stand on that stage with your current strength?"

The girls were lost in thought, and no one's expression was confident. But again, no one suddenly became depressed. Because they have fantasized about this assumption countless times.

And the answer is actually not discouraging. Because in all fairness, their hard power is not inferior to their debuting predecessors.

Kim Young-min, of course, is also well aware of this: "There is no need to doubt it. I can tell you for sure that you have what it takes to make your debut. ”

Such a sudden reversal made the young girls even more confused. As for Kim Yingmin's intentions, they really don't dare to speculate.

Could it be that our debut day is approaching?

"But you're still far from the standard for debut. If we push you to the front of the stage now, we will hand it over to the people and the market to evaluate. The result must have been very cruel. Kim Young-min's tone is unmistakable.

"Expression, aura, status!" Kim Young-min categorically highlighted three words: "You have failed in all these aspects! I can't feel where your personal charm is? You haven't left any strong impression on me at all!"

"If you only have this level on the debut stage, the people will quickly forget about it! As for your name, how hard you practiced...... None of this will anyone want to know. ”

"Not to mention those achievements that you can't even think of. Kim Young-min shook his head: "Because it has failed before it even started!"

The girls' eyes were already filled with tears, and Li Xiuman also stood up at the right time: "Every stage must have a focus, and the responsibility of the team C position is to convey the key points to the audience." ”

"So when the level is similar, the performance of the first team is more successful than the second team......"

After listening to Li Xiuman's words, Yun'er couldn't hold back after all, and her eyes turned red in anger. Hearing Yoona's sobbing, Taeyeon and Hyun beside her both held back their tears. Taeyeon reaches out and gently pats Yoona on the back, while Hyun leans over and grabs Yoona's wrist.

"Ernie ......" Xu Xian wanted to stabilize her sister, saying that she had done a good job. But the person who indirectly criticized her was Teacher Li Xiuman. What qualifications do you have to refute the other party?

Those words of comfort seemed so formalistic and of little effect to Yun'er at this time.

Finding that everyone's eyes were focused, Yuna also wanted to stop crying. She felt that she was not so vulnerable, but it was just a minor setback. Teacher Li Xiuman didn't even name her, how embarrassing it is for herself to lose like this.

But Yun'er is really wronged, inexplicably wronged. Neither because of being criticized, nor because of anything. She just thinks ...... So dazed.

Since this sudden group confrontation, Yuna has been a little unable to keep up with the rhythm. Ten trainees with debut quotas were divided into one team and two teams by five or five.

The members of the first team are: Jessica, Park So-yeon, Kim Hyo-yeon, Choi so-young, Stella. Her team is Kim Tae-yeon, Seo Joo-hyun, Kwon Yoo-ri, Hwang Mi-young and herself.

Yuna didn't understand the company's purpose in grouping it like this. It seems to be grouped according to positioning, with the main deputy lead singer, the lead dancer and deputy lead dancer, and the façade acting as one side. Then why was he assigned to the second team?

Obviously, the seniority of the first team is generally higher than that of the second team. Yuna joined the company two years before Stella, and she was more familiar with the members of the first team. Although Yun'er doesn't want to grow up with other people's ambition to destroy her prestige, the comprehensive strength of the first team is to be stronger!

And Yuna takes the all-round route, and the template role model is Kim Hee-cheol. Purely evaluating her singing and dancing ability, she even willingly ranked herself second-to-last. The only thing Yuna has the confidence to win is Stella Kim Hyun-kyung.

Because the other party has only been practicing for a year and a half, and he has been close to four years. Regardless of the potential for the future, at least for now, there is no doubt about it.

But under such an obviously unfair grouping, Yuna was placed in the disadvantaged newcomer group. Could it be that with just one of his C-position advantages, he can win over the other party, Jessica and Kim Hyo-yeon, such a powerful lead singer and lead dancer?

Even if she had redoubled her efforts, wouldn't the results of her failure already be apparent?

However, Mr. Li Xiuman finally said that it was the responsibility of the C position. Said she didn't do as well as Stella...... Can she really be blamed for this?

Yoona knew that the company valued Stella. Although the opponent's practice time is very short, his strength is not good enough. But all the signs are combined, but it seems that they will definitely be able to debut.

And he has always been the darling of the company, and he has appeared in MVs and advertisements many times. But why did I switch places with the other party as a result of this grouping? Obviously Stella should be on the rookie team!

Could it be that the company values Stella more than it does now......

Li Xiuman did not speak again. And what Kim Young-min said later, Yuna didn't listen to it at all.

She was already so caught up in her own imagination that she couldn't figure it out for a moment. Regarding the allocation of debut places, Yuna suddenly began to waver again.
