Chapter 7 Signing and debuting
At the entrance of Seoul National University, there is a middle-aged man covered in books, and opposite him is a young man who looks a little like him. That young man is Lee Seung-hyun, who joined SJ just a few days ago, and at the moment he is keeping his head down and not knowing what to do.
Because his father went to South Korea today, not only to see his college classmates, but also to sign a contract for his son, but the two did not seem very intimate.
"Have you decided? If not, you can choose to give up. Lee Myung-kin looked at his grown son, who had heard about the contracts of Korean entertainment companies and did not want his son to embark on this path.
"Hello, Mr. Lee, I'm the agent of S.M. Company, Jung Jae-jung, please advise." Just when Lee Seung-hyun and his son were still discussing whether to give up or not to give up, Jung Jae-jung rushed over.
"Seung-hyun! Tell your father about our company. On the way back to the company, the atmosphere between the three seemed a little gloomy, and Zheng Jae-jung was afraid to persuade Li Mingjian not to move. Looking at him, Li Mingjian belongs to the kind of family that does not worry about food and clothing, and he will be disgusted with the affairs of entertainment companies.
"Oh! Mr. Zheng, you're welcome, I heard Seung-hyun talk about your company, but I'm not optimistic about your company's contract! Li Mingjian looked at the scenery outside the window and bluntly expressed his worries.
At this time, Lee Seung-hyun did not have the confidence he had in the past, if his father did not agree, the company would not beg him to let go, and would soon find another person to supplement it.
"Seung-hyun, Mr. Lee, the superintendent is already waiting in the office." While they were resting and playing, Zheng Jae-jung, the agent in charge of South Korea, came over and said. Lee Seung-hyun was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the director would look for him so soon.
Lee Seung-hyun bowed and followed Jung Jae-jung to the door of Lee so-man's office, Jung Jae-jung and Lee Seung-hyun said that they would go in by themselves, and then left, looking at the speed at which he left, as if he was afraid of seeing Lee so-man. Lee Seung-hyun knocked on the door, and after the person inside said "Please come in", Lee Seung-hyun pushed the door and entered.
"Hello Director!" Lee Seung-hyun's etiquette can also be regarded as a rule. And Li Mingjian, who was behind him, bent down to signal that there were also many Korean classmates around him, and he knew a little about South Korea.
is a polite person, it seems that he also learned Korean etiquette in college, Lee so-man looked at Lee Seung-hyun, who was in line with Korean etiquette, and raised his hand to signal him to sit down, "Seung-hyun!" Who is this? β
"This is my father, and he came to Korea specifically for my contract. Don't worry, he knows Korean. β
Lee Xiuman was originally just Lee Seung-hyun's lawyer, but he didn't expect it to be his father, so he quickly stood up and saluted Lee Myung-jian, "Mr. Lee, it seems that you often come to South Korea?" β
"That's not it, it's just that I met some Korean friends when I was studying in the United States, and I heard from Inuko about his plans, so I'm here to talk to Director Li Xiuman today." The tepid attitude suddenly made Lee Xiuman feel like he couldn't start, while Lee Seung-hyun stood aside, listening to the conversation between the two, and glanced at each other from time to time.
"This is our contract, Mr. Li can take a look at the terms and see if there is anything inappropriate?"
"Yes, Director, I have a good relationship with the members?" Lee Seung-hyun looked at Lee so-man and said what he thought in his heart, and after he confirmed, "However, it seems that the itinerary of the group is not very much now?" β
Lee so-man didn't care about Lee Seung-hyun's problem, and flipped through the documents on the table, Lee so-man still explained: "The success of any group is not achieved overnight, and SJ is the same, if you are famous, you will have a schedule." β
"Yes, that's what the Superintendent said!" Lee Seung-hyun agrees with what the other party said, after all, there are very few combinations like TVXQ that have gained countless fame as soon as they debuted.
Lee so-man seemed to be worried that Lee Seung-hyun was thinking too much, and then said: "Actually, recently, the company has been preparing singles, and it may take a while to come to you, and it is also to tell you that you will perform with them in the new single, if you are in the university, do you need the company to coordinate for you?" β
Lee Seung-hyun thought about it seriously and nodded: "Yes, director, I hope the company can coordinate and try not to arrange the itinerary during my professional class." After saying that, he stood up and bowed.
"I know, I'll arrange for Jae-jeong to arrange it for you, but I'm curious why you didn't choose an acting department, but γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
"I can't predict my future, who would have thought I would be a singer?" Regarding Lee so-man's playful question, Lee Seung-hyun answered truthfully.
The two chatted like this for a while, and Lee Seung-hyun got up and said goodbye and left the office, as the founder of the company, Lee so-man is not the president but a shareholder and founder. There are many things that he can't do alone.
"Am I selling my son?" Out of S.M's building, Lee Myung-kyun looked back at Lee Seung-hyun, who sent him out.
"Seung-hyun, did the teacher tell you to come over? Do you want to open a small stove for you? Kim Hee-cheol saw Lee Seung-hyun walk into the practice room, stopped the dance he was practicing, and hurriedly went up and hugged Lee Seung-hyun's shoulder and asked.
"Where will it be, let's talk for a while!" Lee Seung-hyun spit out a word that everyone didn't believe, but the fact seems to be like this, of course, the premise is that he didn't talk about that topic at the beginning, but that was his beginning, so it wasn't what Lee so-man talked to him about at all.
Of course, the other members won't believe it! Thinking of the appearance of their teacher as a tyrant, they really couldn't practice him with the gossip scene, it was more difficult for them than winning the lottery ball, at least the color ball was still possible, but the former was simply impossible.
"Cut! Don't talk about pulling down! The rest of SJ collectively despised Lee Seung-hyun's immorality.
"Let's start training! I think I'll have an itinerary soon, and I'll be in the best shape for myself. Your teacher said that I will make my official debut in a while! Lee Seung-hyun still revealed some conversations with Lee so-man, after all, he is still just a newcomer.
"Seung-hyun, did you receive any news? Is that what the teacher said to you just now? Hearing that they could move, the members of SJ became excited and surrounded Lee Seung-hyun one by one to ask.
"Hmmm! There will be a new single in two days, which may increase the level of practice. Lee Seung-hyun also nodded, he still has this self-confidence, and Lee so-man, as the director, can't make jokes about this kind of thing, after all, entertainment companies still have to rely on artists to make money, who would put a group there and pile up dust?
As if to confirm Lee Seung-hyun's words, at this time, their agent Jung Jae-jung walked into the training room excitedly, "Good news for the children! Your schedule is starting to resume, and the director just announced that there may be a new dance rehearsal. β
"Really? Great, now everyone can rest assured. "Since his debut, except for sporadic members who have participated in some variety shows, it seems that outsiders don't know that SJ is a singing group.
"Seung-hyun! I'll coordinate it at the university, don't worry. Jung Jae-jung still has a great impression of Lee Seung-hyun, who he dug up with his own hands, and now he is happy to see that he is about to make his official debut, and he is happy for him.
When Lee Seung-hyun heard the agent's words, he knew what Lee so-man meant, his persistence in his studies was the bottom line for him to enter the company as a trainee.
The members of SJ are naturally not fools, and they also understand the meaning revealed in the agent's words, although they heard Lee Seung-hyun say that their schedule would be busy, and they were originally worried that the company would be abandoned by the company because their group did not achieve the expected results.
Lee Seung-hyun naturally didn't know about the new songs, so of course he wouldn't answer their questions, so he trained on the side regardless of it. The other members of SJ also knew that he didn't want to answer this question, so they had to hide this question in their hearts and join the training.
In the other practice room, the girls are still practicing seriously, occasionally stopping to rest for a while, and talking about the company's recent situation, after all, debuting as an artist is what they care about most.
"Have all the OPPAs in SJ resumed their trips?" I don't know who spread the news, but although SJ made his debut, he didn't achieve the expected results in the song. When they heard that SJ would release a new song, they became worried.
"It's okay, they're all debutants, and you have to worry about it, they have always had a good schedule, but this time, the newcomer will also be on stage together." Seeing them shake their heads, the well-informed Jin Xiaoyuan shook his head and walked out of the practice room, leaving only the girls with question marks on their heads.
"Taeyeon, how long will we have to wait before we can make our debut, and the newcomers are faster than us?" Pani asked, dumbfounded.
Taeyeon obviously didn't know either, and turned to look at one of the members who had just arrived, "Sunny, are you worried about your debut?" β
With Kim Taeyeon's words, everyone turned their attention to her, she belongs to the ranks of the Airborne Forces, for everyone, one more person is more competition, looking at the worried newcomers, they seem to understand her feelings.
Sunny nodded, then shook his head again, "Well, yes, aren't you worried?" β
Seeing that Sunny didn't know the reason, they were helpless, and at this time Xiuying said: "It would be nice if the belly black Yoon was here, she is so familiar with SJ's OPPA, you can ask Kim Hee-cheol OPPA, if you don't say it, you can get it until they say it." β
"That's right! Call and ask Yuna if he has an interview. Kim Taeyeon seemed to remember to call the other members to inform them of the news, and Seo Hyun raised the phone in his hand, "I've already sent a message to Yoona Oni, but it may be an audition, and Yoona Oni hasn't returned yet." β
The girls began to train again, and because of the psychological pressure, there was a burst of laughter in their training room from time to time. But they don't know when they are waiting for them to start their debut, and no one has a rehearsal in lifeγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
