Chapter 455: Self in the Mirror

"Do I really look a lot like Jessica-senpai?"

As soon as Ji-yeon climbed back into her bed, she heard a faint sound behind her. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Looking back, Hyomin was holding a dresser that he had grabbed out of nowhere, and he looked carefully at the small mirror, as if he was talking to himself.

Ji-yeon's eyes rolled, and she couldn't help but laugh: "Ernie, you're considered to be Jessica's senior today, aren't you?"

Hyo-min pursed her lips and nodded.

"Where is it like, Ernie you don't have a figure-eight eyebrows!" Ji-yeon laughed, "The person who will mistake you and Jessica's seniors must not have good eyesight!"

"What if I was wearing a pair of sunglasses?" Hyo-min said without looking back.

Ji-yeon was stunned, but she and Hyo-min had been together for several years, so naturally she saw Hyo-min wearing sunglasses, and she couldn't help but "make up" her brain in an instant......

Like, it seems, is it really a bit like?

"That's still a lot worse, Ernie you're at least five centimeters taller than Jessica's seniors......" Ji-yeon muttered unconvinced.

"What if I was squatting?" Hyo-min glanced at Ji-yeon.

If you are squatting, the difference in height of a few centimeters is really not easy to see.

Wearing sunglasses again, squatting again, Ernie you have covered up the more significant differences between the two, so what else is there to say!

"Even if that's the case, I'm sure I won't be mistaken......"

Before Ji-yeon could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Hyo-min's impatient opening.

"We're together every day, if you can admit your mistake, wouldn't it be weird!"

This time, Zhiyan was really speechless, and it took a long time to hold back a rhetorical question: "Ernie, do you think you are similar to Jessica's predecessors?"

Ji-yeon's words seem to evoke Hyo-min's long-term memories. She tilted her head back and fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

"When I first met Jessica, I was actually taken aback...... It turned out that there was another person in this world who looked so much like me! Later, the more we met, the weird feeling gradually disappeared. ā€

Hyo-min involuntarily laughed dumbly.

"When was that? Ernie did you know me at the time?" asked Ji-yeon curiously.

Hyomin shook his head slightly: "At that time, there was no CCM company in us, and I didn't even join Mnet, and I was still a trainee at JYP. At that time, of course, we didn't know each other. ā€

For Ji-yeon, when she first joined Mnet as a trainee, Hyo-min was already in this company. Later, Mnet integrated the resources of the acquired company and made Kim Kwang-so the president of the newly established subsidiary, CCM, and Ji-yeon and Hyo-min also transferred to the new company. Then the two of them debuted together and went all the way to the present......

It can be said that on the road to becoming an idol, Hyomin is the one who has been accompanying Ji-yeon to grow up.

However, compared with Ji-yeon, who has been smooth sailing, Hyo-min's road is much more tortuous and bumpy.

At the beginning, she became a trainee at JYP, and compared to other companies she experienced later, she stayed in JYP for the longest time, but unfortunately she was not selected for JYP's girl group Wondergirls.

Under normal circumstances, no entertainment company in South Korea will release two idol groups of the same gender in a short period of time - we can clearly see some patterns if we take the boy group launched by S.M., the overlord of the music industry, as a reference - The first boy group H.O.T debuted in 1996, the second generation boy group Shinhwa debuted in 1998, the third generation of the boy group TVXQ debuted in 2004, the fourth generation of the boy group SuperJunior debuted in 2005, and the fifth generation of the boy group SHINee debuted in 2008......

With the exception of Mythology, which debuted slightly "early" by two years and a SuperJunior that "came out of thin air", the other three boy bands were synchronized with the Olympics, which is about the frequency of launching a boy group in four years.

As for the debut of the girl group, as mentioned earlier, the S.M. company maintains a slightly slower rule than the boy group.

Even the well-established s.m. company is so careful in launching a new group, not to mention the much weaker JYP (Wondergirls is the company's first idol group)?

Now that I've missed the opportunity to be selected as a Wondergirls, it's obvious that there won't be any more opportunities to debut on JYP's side anytime soon.

With this in mind, Hyomin said goodbye to JYP, where she had stayed for a long time, with a sense of loss. When she heard that DSP had plans to launch a new girl group, she switched to DSP and became a trainee.

Unfortunately, there, she still couldn't be selected for Kara, and once again missed the opportunity to debut.

Maybe this is her long-cherished fate, she is destined to witness the debut of the three major girl groups in 07 (Wondergirls, Kara, and Girls' Generation in chronological order) with mixed feelings, and watch them blow the horn of the girl group's prosperity, and she herself will have to lie dormant for two more years before she can officially join this fierce competition as a member of the crown group.

"Ernie, you were a trainee at JYP at that time, how did you meet Jessica's predecessor of s.m. company? Aren't these two companies old enemies?" Ji-yeon's eyes widened in surprise.

Rather than saying that JYP and s.m. are rivals, it is better to say that Park Jin-young, the president of JYP, and Lee so-man, the artist director of s.m., had a holiday - in the topic of "the most embarrassing moment of my life" on the SBS TV talk show "Night Heart", Park Jin-young himself revealed that he once wanted to become a singer and put a lot of effort into it, and then someone finally recommended him to Lee so-man to participate in the interview for the selection of singers. But when Park Jin-young, who was full of expectations, finished performing hard, Lee so-man hesitated for a moment and refused, and asked Park Jin-young if he would sell the original song he performed......

This anecdote has long been widely known, so in the eyes of many people, s.m. and JYP should not be in contact with each other.

Xiao Min smiled dumbly again, shook his head and said, "It's not what you think, in fact, those big companies often hold half-confrontation and half-communication trainee competitions. Jessica's seniors were the trainee representatives selected by S.M. at that time......"

"So Ernie, you're the trainee representative selected by JYP, wow, that's a big ......deal," Ji-yeon replied smartly.

"No, you guessed it wrong, the trainee representative of JYP Company is not me, but the senior of Xianyi. Hyomin recalled the situation and shook her head again with a smile.

The "Xianyi senior" in Hyomin's mouth refers to Min Xianyi, who will become the captain of Wondergirls in the future. In fact, this girl is a few months younger than Jessica and Hyomin, but she is the most senior trainee of JYP. So her position at JYP at that time was similar to that of Jessica at s.m.

Although Jessica is good at singing and dancing, and her strength is good, she always has a slight advantage in several confrontations with Min Xianyi, and she even gave the latter the nickname "Min Fox" to vent her depression.

However, it was during these competitions that Jessica learned that there was a female trainee in JYP who "looked very similar" to herself, so she couldn't help but be curious and took the initiative to meet Hyo-min for the second time.

As a result, both of them were taken aback at the time, and it felt like they suddenly saw another self in the mirror. (To be continued.) )
