"You're turning 20 next month, so you should be fine if you drink less. Park Jin-young held up the soju bottle and was about to collapse.

"It's okay, I've already drunk it myself. Cheon Myung-hoon politely took the initiative to pick up the cup.

The two of them lightly touched the glass, turned sideways and drank it all.

"I love to drink, but it's not alcoholic. Park Jin-young filled another glass, but did not immediately raise another glass.

"Because there is always a lot of work, even when I eat, I keep thinking about it, and I can't do it for a moment of relaxation. So I just drank to take a break and stop the troubles. Just the right amount is the best. ”

It is important to learn from someone who learns from the first thing about whether a person's drinking habits are good or bad. This concept conveyed by Park Jin-young corroborates with Cheon Jung-jae's habits. So Cheon Myung-hoon nodded, and it was remembered in the depths of his heart from then on.

The two ate and drank slowly, chatting casually. I don't know who brought it up first, but the topic soon turned to the album's title song.

Park Jin-young was obviously interested, but he didn't take the liberty to point out. Instead, he listened quietly to Cheon Myung-hoon until all his thoughts were poured out. Park Jinying nodded, indicating that he had already brewed it in his heart.

"Myeongxun, I probably understand your question. Park cleared his throat and took a sip of wine.

"To sum it up in one sentence, that is: there are many people who dream, but few people can do it!"

"Interests and careers are not the same, or even completely opposite. For example, liking singing is not the same as being a singer. Loving a novel is not the same as being an author. The former is just a simple hobby, but it is far from becoming a career. ”

"It's not that you have to do what you like, and it's not that you have the talent to make a living from it. There really isn't a logical link to these things. ”

"There are many ways to like music, you can just be a listener, or you can go to karaoke with your friends. You can also record a cover video yourself and post it online to see the reaction. These are all ways to enjoy music. ”

"But I want to write songs and compose music, and sing them myself. Go from behind the scenes to the front of the stage and let people judge the evaluation. It's not something that can be sustained by interest. ”

"Myeongxun, you are very talented and very attentive, and I can also see your efforts. These are all essential virtues for being a singer. You're really great. ”

"But...... You've got to make it visible to other people!"

"Music can't be built on money, but it's not just for applause. ”

"Is your music meant to comfort you, or is it meant to move the public? You have to think about it. ”

Cheon Myung-hoon was speechless, he had never thought about these questions.

"Let me tell you my story. The most bitter drink I've ever drunk in my life was the can of beer I drank at a convenience store after I was eliminated from the S.M interview. ”

"In order to become a singer, I auditioned for all the agencies in Seoul. The last one left is S.M!"

"Even if I failed before, I could comfort myself. It doesn't matter if there are other companies, the opportunity may be the next one. But when S.M also failed the interview, he was really desperate. Because I don't have any other opportunities in front of me. ”

"When I drank that can of beer, my once strong belief was shaken. I wondered if I had chosen the right path, and I thought about giving up. ”

"But if I had given up then, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you now. ”

"No one would have thought of it. Later, there was a company that trained actors, and suddenly it wanted to train a singer. I finally got the chance to make my debut. ”

"And what about you, Mingxun, you were discovered by talent scouts when you walked down the street, and after a few years of practice, you were selected to join TVXQ. After quitting the company, he also met Li Xianji's seniors. ”

"It's because you're very good, but there's no element of luck? you're going so smoothly that there's a path in front of you at every critical moment. You just have to muster up the courage to go on. ”

"That's why you're confused at this time, and you don't even know why you became a singer! I didn't think about it at the beginning, so how did you get on this path?"

"Telling someone about your troubles can really make them want to laugh. They may think that you are not professional, because you don't even have the most basic awareness. After Park Jin-young finished saying this, he lowered his head and let out a long breath.

"Original...... That's right. Cheon Myung-hoon filled his cup again and drained it.

Park Jin-young thought for a while, and then asked, "Do you remember when Ji-hoon came to the company that day?" ”

"Well, of course I do. ”

Rain's original life is Zheng Ji-hoon, and Cheon Myung-hoon still knows about this. Because Hyuna was confused at that time, he almost missed the opportunity to meet.

"He suddenly came to the company to see me that day, talking about his own dream. ”

Cheon Myung-hoon recalled it and remembered that Park Jin-young's mood was a little abnormal that day. He asked if the conversation with Rain wasn't going well, but Park Jin-young replied vaguely. But after all, it was someone's private matter, and Qian Mingxun didn't continue to ask.

Unexpectedly, after more than a month, I heard Park Zhenying take the initiative to mention it again.

"I watched him grow step by step. When he was still a trainee, Ji-ho's mother died suddenly. His mother's wish was to see him on stage, so he practiced hard all the time. This matter can be regarded as his original intention. ”

He also lived up to this expectation, and after his debut, he was a huge success. The filming of "Full House of Romance" in 04 made him popular, and at the end of the year, he got rid of the newcomer and won the big award. ”

But Chuxin doesn't seem to be able to satisfy him now. Or rather, he also has his own ideas. New goals and dreams were born. ”

"He not only wants to be a successful singer, but also wants to become a producer and train singers himself. Build another self to prove what he's capable of. He felt that this would be a success. ”

"Although it means that he may leave the company, from a friend's point of view, I am very supportive of him in pursuing it. Regardless of the outcome, he knew what he wanted to do. ”

"It's going to be a Superstar Survival duplex soon, and the one thing I want to ask those kids is - why did you want to be a singer?"

If his answer is very ordinary, he just said that because he likes music and performs, he wants to stand on the stage. Then I'm going to ask the second question. ”

"There are many people who want to become singers, can you give me a reason why I have to choose you?"

Park Jin-young finally showed a side that matched his identity as a producer, and looked at Cheon Myung-hoon with a hint of oppression.

"Can you answer me those two questions, Myung-hoon?"
