Chapter Seventy-Seven: SJ's Debut
In the end, Cheon Myung-hoon didn't make today the anniversary of their first kiss, but just kissed Yuna's forehead.
Sometimes it's better to use reason to restrain feelings, and doing what you want has never been his code of conduct. If the torrent of emotions in his heart is released, then his life in the next half year will be even more tormenting.
Someday kissing will become an indispensable daily interaction, but the first kiss still means a qualitative change in the relationship. Although it is just a physical process that seems to be lips touching, it will leave an indelible mark on each other's hearts.
Yuna is still young, so bear with it a little longer. There will always be a chance in the future.

The days are getting longer day by day in the waiting, and they are getting shorter and shorter in the busyness.
On June 1st, Younha released his third single album, which included the ED song "Comet" from April to June by the anime BLEACH Grim Reaper. It debuted 15th on the Oricon Official Chart and appeared 17 times.
As the name suggests, the Oricon Trusted List is a list with impartiality and integrity as core values. It is known as the "billboard" of RB.
The charts are not only all-encompassing, but also include almost all albums released in their home country. The conditions for being on the list are also simple and unique, and that is sales. So the list is essentially a ranking of local record sales that are updated every day.
Younha became the second Korean to enter the Oricon public trust list after BoA, and received wide attention from Japanese and Korean media. Known as "Comet Oricon", the album was subsequently ordered 5,000 copies, which sparked a heated topic on the Internet.
Many subsequent songs entered the chart, and they became frequent visitors to the Oricon chart.
Younha has achieved such impressive results, and LOEN has also begun to operate actively. plans to wait for her to lay a little more stable foundation and plan to return to China for development.
LOEN's artist director Kim Jung-ri has also found the direction of his life again. Although Qian Mingxun is a good card, it can only be used to press the bottom of the box at present, and there is no place for it.
And Younha's current potential and achievements, as long as it is managed well, is definitely another new star in the music industry.
The most important thing for an artist is exposure, and during the blank period of non-return, he must participate in various other activities to maintain the frequency of appearances. A newcomer like Cheon Myung-hoon, who has never returned, although he attracted a lot of attention during his debut, he did not continue to promote while the iron was hot. Instead, it was directly hidden, and entered a blank period where the white can no longer be white.
"X-MAN" basically didn't participate, and the TV station was not run by Chimyeongxun's family. You don't have personal activities yourself, and it's impossible for the program team to raise an idler. And in addition to the three major MCs in this show, the so-called regular guests are just frequent appearances for a certain period of time.
Qian Mingxun slowly faded out of the people's sight like this. However, the song "Snow Flower" has been continuously covered by various gods, and the popularity has become wider and wider.
Many singers can be remembered forever with a classic song. Although being remembered does not mean that you are a fan, it does not mean that you will support future works. But this is indeed an important capital for a comeback in the future.
From the point of view of traditional singers, long blank periods are a normal thing. Traditional singers do not have frequent announcements and commercial performance stages, although their income will definitely decrease, but they also protect their voices from being overused. In disguise, he extended his career.
Use this free time to precipitate and improve yourself. Wait until the next opportune time, and then return with a work full of painstaking work. It has become another classic that everyone loves.
Also on June 1, the hottest TV series of the year began to be broadcast on MBC TV. is "My Name is Jin Sanshun", which will also be familiar to people in the future.
However, Cheon Myung-hoon was busy with his studies and did not contribute to the ratings.
South Korea's gaokao has undergone a reform since 2002, and the fate of students is no longer determined by the results of a single exam. Admission methods have become very flexible and diverse, and there are many admission routes that do not require exams.
Just as some artists who have achieved great achievements in their fields are honored by the university and even invited to become guest lecturers. The same is true for high school students, if they get grades or awards in a certain area, they may be exempted from the exam and directly admitted. It could even be very sought-after.
It's not like there's no chance to take a shortcut, but he doesn't want to go to a comprehensive university to study music.
His goal is still Seoul National University, and it has never changed.

On October 26, Super Junior announced its debut through the news.
On November 6th, Super Junior made his official debut on SBS's "Popular Song" with his debut song "Twins (Knock Out)".
Qian Mingxun didn't hesitate much, and decided to go to the scene to have a look. So call Yoo Hyun-shin and ask him to help him arrange it.
The time when everyone practiced together is still vivid, and Cheon Myung-hoon has long been looking forward to this day. Although the big exam is approaching, my spirit has been tense for too long, and I have to find a chance to relax.
……
After all the performances were over, Cheon Myung-hoon followed Yoo Hyun-shin backstage. There will be a lot of interviews after the debut stage, and the company will also make a debut documentary to use in the next promotion.
After getting off the stage, the individual's emotions will reach a pole, and the hard work of years of practice will finally pay off. Especially after meeting the teacher, the president, and the family, that kind of emotion will burst out suddenly. No matter how strong a person is, he can't help but want to cry.
It takes time for these emotions to calm down.
Under the guidance of the staff, I found the standby room of the Super Junior, and through the door, I heard the commotion inside. All kinds of empty shouts of "fighting!" and "come on!" were shouted loudly.
Cheon Myung-hoon gently opened the door a crack and looked inside. It seems that the important interview has been recorded, the members are already changing their costumes, and they are in groups of threes and twos, not knowing what they are talking about.
His gaze shifted to the member closest to the door, and he answered questions with his back to Cheon Myung-hoon facing the camera. Because I haven't seen each other for a long time, and they are all wearing similar singing costumes, and the looks are all "carefully designed".
Cheon Myung-hoon couldn't tell the other party's identity with the naked eye, and in the end, it was determined that it was Litt through the voice of the conversation.
"They were at RB and couldn't come live. However, Junxiuxi's mother cared about us very much and recorded a video and sent it to us. It was also Junxiu who called just now to congratulate us on our successful debut......"
Little sniffed at his reddened nose and explained softly. Although I can see that my mood is not calm, I still speak in a very organized manner. SM chose him as the captain of Super Junior because he has such a talent.
"Ah, I see. ”
The inquiring man nodded. Just now he saw Litt running into the corner to answer a phone call, and he immediately came with a camera to hear the news. No matter who the caller is, it will be good material.
He also overheard the conversation between Litt and the caller, and guessed that it was probably a member of the popular boy group and Super Junior's brother TVXQ.
I heard Little say that TVXQ is active in RB, and I can't come to the scene to cheer them on today. The man still felt a little regretful. If you can appear on camera, it should be a good attraction.
Cheon Myung-hoon was also a little speechless about S.M. Is it true that the Super Junior is an experiment, otherwise why is there such a difference in the level of attention?
TVXQ has a different meaning for S.M. and is very important. So the debut not only had the senior sister BoA to press the scene, but also Britney Spears to help.
This Qian Mingxun also understands, but even if Super Junior can't be compared, he can't not come to the company without a single senior. Looks like you've come to the right place.
(I simply flipped through a few videos, but I didn't find anyone familiar.) I didn't bother to check it, so I designed it for the sake of the plot. )
"Brother Jeong-so!"
Cheon Myung-hoon walked quickly behind Litt and patted him on the shoulder. Litt turned around and saw that it was Cheon Myung-hoon, and took a few steps back in surprise.
"Cheon Myung-hoon, why are you here?"
The camera also quickly turned the camera to give Cheon Myung-hoon a close-up, but the picture was quickly filled with the back of the head that rushed up.
……
After hugging everyone, Kim Hee-cheol still grabbed Cheon Myung-hoon's arm and pulled him in front of the camera.
"I really have to say thank you, Myeongxun is about to take the college entrance examination. I was really touched to be able to come and see us today. ”
PD hasn't reacted at this time, and he hasn't figured out the relationship between Cheon Myung-hoon and today's group of newcomers. He didn't know much about Cheon Myung-hoon, a semi-newcomer with very low exposure, and naturally he didn't know about what Cheon Myung-hoon had trained in SM.
"If I don't do well in the college entrance examination, I can continue next year, but my debut is just like this once in my life, I definitely have to come. ”
Originally, the relationship with Kim Hee-cheol in the company was very good, and this visit was even further. Cheon Myung-hoon is also unceremonious, and what he says is completely from the heart.
Although Cheon Myung-hoon's own debut stage is legendary, he doesn't feel proud. A smooth and steady one like the Super Junior is actually the best result.
"Then brother won't say thank you, you will be my dearest brother in the future. ”
After saying that, Kim Hee-cheol gave Cheon Myung-hoon a hug tightly.
"That...... Actually, I ...... today It is the ...... of the predecessors"
Qian Mingxun hesitated to indicate his "intention".
Hearing the word "senior", there was a quiet moment in the lounge. Everyone looked at Qian Mingxun with a fixed expression for a while, and they didn't know who was the first to open their mouths, and they all turned into birds and beasts and dispersed.
"Hey...... Scattered, scattered, scattered. ”
Every Super Junior member here is older than Cheon Myung-hoon, and even if they are the same age, they were all born in '87. The only 88-year-old Cho Kyu-hyun has not yet appeared at this time, and will not enter the group until May next year.
Everyone knows each other well, and the relationship is very close. So Qian Myung-hoon wants to call himself a senior in front of this group of people, which is definitely a self-deprecating behavior. Like Litkin Hee-cheol, he is 83 years old, almost five years older than Cheon Myung-hoon.
Qian Mingxun, a young senior, how can he gain a firm foothold in private?
Alas, sad.
Cheon Myung-hoon lowered his head and sighed. I was still thinking that I would debut earlier than them, and I should have thought that this would be the ending.
But that's okay!
Qian Mingxun was not discouraged, wasn't this in private. When we go on variety shows together in the future, I have to let you recognize your identity clearly!
