On August 27, 2000, BoA finally appeared on the stage of SBS's popular songs.

BoA debuted!

So in the underground practice room after ten o'clock, only Qian Mingxun was left.

Although BoA is a pioneer, a pioneer in overseas markets. He is the most honored Korean singer in Asia and even in the world in pop music.

But BoA's debut was not an instant hit, a big hit.

At that time, there were too many popular idol groups in the Korean song market.

There is not enough room for 13-year-old girls to be noticeable.

Although BoA's debut did not receive a good response, neither Li Xiuman nor the company's management was eager for quick success, and still regarded her as the company's key training object in the next few years.

Just one year after his debut in South Korea, the RB trip was already imminent.

After graduating from elementary school, BoA went to RB to live in RB for half a year and learned standard Japanese pronunciation from the announcer.

S.M has also reached a series of collaborations with RB's Ai Hui Records, and BoA's development in RB will be fully supported by both parties.

Everything went according to plan and in an orderly manner.

BoA is heading to RB for more targeted training, where the nation's premier choreographer, Satsumi and Count, is waiting for her.

It will be there that BoA will complete a crucial metamorphosis, taking a big step towards her dream.

The difference between Cheon Myung-hoon and BoA is natural, without the slightest pretension.

BoA is clear about her path and RB is her main stage in the future. This decision can't be easily changed, at least not because of his friendship with Cheon Myung-hoon.

And again, Cheon Myung-hoon is also very aware of this.

Both have full confidence in each other's future. I believe that one day, they will meet again in a wider world and on a more gorgeous stage.

With Cheon Myung-hoon's blessing, BoA embarks on his journey to RB. Cheon Myung-hoon continued to hold his position after 10 p.m.

In fact, for some people, success only needs to wait for the passage of time.

"I'm going to go to Seoul National University, so it's impossible to make my debut at this time. Even if I wanted to stay, my parents wouldn't agree. ”

This matter has been explained by Chi Myung-hoon too many times. He was reluctant to repeat it, because it was not really a reason.

Cheon Myung-hoon believes that his choice was the right one, but he can't explain how he made it.

Because, a strange dream?

"If you want to do well, is your school really a problem? It's all your excuse! As soon as the company has such a big crisis, you choose to leave. Don't you think there is no future for you to stay?"

Hearing that there was no nostalgia between Cheon Myung-hoon's words, BoA's emotions became more and more excited.

"Do you really think so......" Cheon Myung-hoon's mouth opened and closed, but he didn't know how to refute.

Yes, when Shinhwa and the company parted ways, he immediately offered to leave after being selected to debut.

The reason is to focus on academics, and who would believe it?

Cheon Myung-hoon wasn't angry, he just felt bad.

I can understand why you think that, but I've been practicing with all my heart for three years!

Am I willing to leave like this?

－－－－

That dream brought a lot of benefits to Cheon Myung-hoon, but at this time, how he wished that nothing had happened.

Without that information about the future, he could have said to BoA right now that I have a clear conscience.

Train with the five members of Toshin and fight side by side with BoA, who has a heavy responsibility. Fight for the future of the company together.

Or maybe he wouldn't have come to S.M at all. I don't know what my debut is.

Maybe high school is in Dayuan foreign Chinese, and like my sister Qian Mingyue, I am ready to study abroad.

But then I won't know these people, and I won't have the memories of three years as a trainee.

will not become a senior of Girls' Generation, will not be almost selected as Dongshen, will not be a childhood sweetheart with Yun'er, will not have a group of band brothers, and will not be accepted as a disciple by Lee Sun-hee.

I won't have so many bonds with the BoA in front of me!

What would that life be like, Cheon Myung-hoon felt bored when he thought about it.

So as the price of living a wonderful life, he must bear the misunderstanding at the moment and bear the pressure of his heart.

But what is all this in comparison?

BoA didn't really think so, she said it with emotion, and she regretted it a little after saying it. She believes that Cheon Myung-hoon has his own grievances, but it doesn't mean that BoA will forgive him easily.

Yes, BoA can't forgive Cheon Myung-hoon!

In the three years since his debut, BoA has left his hometown alone to work hard abroad. I don't know how much pressure she is under, in order to be recognized in RB, she has to put in ten times and a hundred times the effort at home. Not only for herself and the company, because she also represents the country.

Whenever she takes a break from practice, she always thinks of Cheon Myung-hoon:

Is he still practicing? He's even more talented than me, how can I stop?

When she encountered the difficulty of dancing, she also thought: If Qian Mingxun must be able to do it well, how can I only do it to this extent?

She uses Cheon Myung-hoon as a means to motivate herself, but because there is no competition between the two, and they are very good friends. Qian Mingxun did not turn into an imaginary enemy, but became another special existence in his heart.

After learning that the relationship between the myth and the company is in full swing, there is no possibility of getting back together. BoA did panic for a while.

The pillars of the company are gone. The sky fell and she was tall, but BoA didn't have to run, because the company could only rely on her.

But BoA is not ready to take on such a big responsibility, in fact, even if she is ready, can she take it if she wants to?

Teacher Li Xiuman's expectation is the motivation for her to persevere, but there is another person who is an important reason why her mental defense line has not collapsed.

That's Cheon Myung-hoon.

In order to calm BoA's emotions, Lee so-man must tell her the company's next plan: launch a new boy group and share her pressure as soon as possible.

What excites her even more than hearing this is that Cheon Myung-hoon has entered the six-member preliminary list of the men's team.

In the past three years, Cheon Myung-hoon's status in BoA's heart has increased day by day. She has no doubt about Cheon Myung-hoon's potential.

She believes that after Cheon Myung-hoon debuts, he will definitely not be worse than her. At that time, not only did it reduce her burden, but the feeling of working side by side also made BoA look forward to it.

However, BoA only got a good night's sleep. The next day, she heard the news that Cheon Myung-hoon had quit the company.

This is like a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, so that the last only support of BoA has also come to naught.

The results speak for themselves.

No one knows what kind of willpower BoA persevered, and how disappointed he was in the pain of unleashing his potential.

There is no disappointment without hope. BoA has much higher expectations for Cheon Myung-hoon, and it is also even more difficult to accept when facing him leaving.

Not only did she feel extremely disappointed, but she also felt an anger similar to being betrayed.

Cheon Myung-hoon has been practicing so hard, she never thought that he would refuse to make his debut!

Why, exactly?

Seeing that Qian Mingxun was silent, even his eyes dimmed. BoA finally regained his emotions and was able to think calmly.

If Cheon Myung-hoon quit because of selfishness, why did he come back today?

And he ran all the way, and stood in front of the company and stopped and stared for a long time.

What is the unspeakable reason for him to put aside his dreams and give up his debut?

BoA suddenly understood a truth: sometimes even if people try their best, they still can't help themselves.

The two were silent for some time, and neither of them said a word. It wasn't until there was a commotion in the practice room that BoA remembered that this wasn't the right place to talk.

"Come with me. BoA dropped the sentence and turned to leave.

Qian Mingxun hesitated slightly, but still followed.

Friendship is not a one-sided effort. BoA cares about him so much, no matter how reasonable he is today, he is not satisfied.

He had to give BoA an explanation.

－－－－

"That person seems to be Myeonghoon oppa!" Yun'a, who walked out of the practice room, saw Cheon Myung-hoon's back and said suspiciously.

"Ah, Lin Yun'er. You're tired and hallucinating, aren't you!What are you thinking about all day!" Cui Xiuying lay on Kwon Yoo-ri's back and complained weakly.

“…… It's really like that. When Yuna tried to look again, the figure had disappeared.

"Why did Myunghoon come to the company if he had nothing to do?

"Maybe there are other girls who have birthdays?"

"Yes, isn't it Liya's birthday today!"

Faced with the complaints and ridicule of her sisters, Yun'er had no choice but to stop talking.

Xu Zhuxian, who followed behind Yuna, looked thoughtful.

Although I don't know who Cheon Myung-hoon is, I met that back and met on the subway that day.

It seems to be the same person.

————

An hour later, Cheon Myung-hoon was kicked out of her break room by BoA.

Although BoA still hasn't fully forgiven him, he can't let go so quickly. But under Qian Mingxun's explanation of racking his brains, it should still have some effect.

At the end of the conversation, Cheon Myung-hoon said that BoA would definitely become a solo female singer like Lee Hyo-ri. The result hit BoA's anger right in the spot.

03 is the year of Lee Hyori, and the storm of "10minutes" swept the country. Climbed the top of the rankings for two weeks and stayed for a long time. It's phenomenal.

Because BoA is young, there are always people who praise her for becoming a singer like everyone in the future. BoA didn't like it, but he couldn't show it to his face.

Now that I heard Qian Mingxun say this, the dissatisfaction that had accumulated in my heart was detonated at once. Only then did the final use of force occur.

BoA still has a lot of respect for Lee Hyo-ri. At the beginning of his debut, BoA met Lee Hyori. Whether in Korea or when I was active at RB, I received a lot of help from each other.

This year, BoA is also happy for Lee Hyo-ri, who has finally returned to the music scene in the form of solo, with great success.

But BoA still just wants to be unique.

Although he was taught a lesson by BoA, Cheon Myung-hoon was relieved.

He wanted to tell BoA that he hadn't given up and that he wanted to go down even the hardest path of traditional singers.
