Chapter Eighty-Nine: Fighting Alone
Not to mention Jessica, Kim Tae-hyun was led by the man sent by Lee so-geun after they separated from Jessica and walked towards the place where Lee so-geun was.
"Aniha, Kim Tae-hyun, Emida." Kim Tae-hyun only remembered at this time that he hadn't said hello to the person sent by Lee so-geun to pick him up.
"Kim Tae-hyun, hello, my name is Choi Min-so, a new member of the company." Choi Min-so is a young man in his 20s who is full of energy.
Kim Tae-hyun nodded, "Choi Min-so, can you ask how you came to the company?" ”
Choi Min-so smiled at Kim Tae-hyun and said, "Kim Tae-hyun, I won't tell you, I came to the company with Brother Su-geun." ”
Kim Tae-hyun just asked casually, but everyone answered, and Kim Tae-hyun had no choice but to continue, "Oh, it turned out that I came with Brother Su-geun, so Choi Min-so xi, you also worked in DSP before?" ”
Choi Min-so waved his hand in a bit of a panic, "No, Kim Tae-hyunxi, I used to work in a small zuò company, and Brother Xiugen and I also met because of business, and then the company I worked for later collapsed, so Brother Xiugen asked me to come to G2K with him." ”
Kim Tae-hyun nodded, Kim Tae-hyun understood Lee so-geun's approach, after all, it would be much more convenient to come to a new company with acquaintances, and Lee so-geun was not the kind of person who casually installed cronies in Kim Tae-hyun's opinion, and I think this Choi Min-so should have a certain ability.
Next, Kim Tae-hyun and Choi Min-so chatted casually and arrived at the door of a practice room with SS501 written on the door number, which should be the practice room of SS501 in the future.
"Kim Tae-hyun, this is it, please come in." After Cui Minxiu finished speaking, he opened the door of the practice room first.
"Inside, Mi Ha Mi Da." Kim Tae-hyun said thank you to Choi Min-so and walked into the practice room without hesitation.
This practice room is obviously different from Park Chulong's practice room, the most obvious thing is that it is much larger, and the various equipment feels obviously much better than Park Chulong's practice room, the most important thing is that there are only 8 people in this practice room except for Li Xiugen, and if you want to come to SS501, you have to choose from these 8 people, and Park Chulong's practice room has more than a dozen people.
This should be the difference between a trainee and a debut artist.
At this time, Li Xiugen was watching the eight people practice together, and Kim Tae-hyun didn't go up to greet Li Xiu-geun, and Li Xiu-geun only nodded to Kim Tae-hyun after seeing Kim Tae-hyun coming, and then looked at the eight-person table intently.
Kim Tae-hyun didn't mind Lee so-geun's attitude either, and watched the eight-person performance in the center of the practice room with Choi Min-so on the side.
Kim Tae-hyun took a serious look, two of these eight people knew him, one was Kim Hyun-joong, the first place in the draft at that time, and the other was Kim Tae-hyun remembered that he was a teenager named Sun Dongyun.
Kim Tae-hyun looked at the overall effect, among the eight people, Kim Tae-hyun felt that the most unlikely was Sun Dongyun, Sun Dongyun may be because he is still young now, he is fine when he dances solo, and he is very conspicuous in it when he dances in a group, after all, his body is much thinner than the others, so he is conspicuous.
Kim Tae-hyun said he didn't understand that Lee so-geun selected Sun Dongyun, Sun Dongyun's potential is very good, but he is still too young, this time the selection is a combination not an individual solo, a qiē is for the combination as a whole, if Sun Dongyun is put in it, it will be obviously incongruous, after all, the other people should look like they should all be 16.7 years old, and Sun Dongyun is only 13 years old now.
However, Kim Tae-hyun didn't want to interfere with Lee so-geun's decision, and even if Lee so-geun finally put Son Dong-yun in SS501, Kim Tae-hyun wouldn't say anything.
After a few minutes, the music stopped, and at this time, Kim Tae-hyun walked over to Lee so-geun, "It's very good, everyone's table is very good, it seems that Brother Xiugen has bothered a lot!" ”
Li Xiugen smiled and said, "The children are very good, but they are still far from the debut level. “
Li Xiugen turned his head to Kim Hyun-heavy and them: "Why don't you say hello to your seniors?" ”
Kim Hyun-joong walked out of the group of eight with four other people, and only after standing up neatly did he speak, "Aniha, we are SS501." ”
Kim Tae-hyun was a little confused about what the situation was, but he still returned the salute, "Hello, I'm Kim Tae-hyun." ”
After the five finished speaking, Sun Dongyun and the other two came out to salute Kim Tae-hyun one by one.
After all eight of them greeted Kim Tae-hyun, Lee so-geun said to Sun Dongyun and the others, "You guys should go back and practice first, and if you have something, I will have someone call you." ”
After Sun Dongyun and the three of them left the practice room, Kim Tae-hyun asked Lee so-geun, "Brother so-geun, what's going on?" ”
Li Xiugen looked at the direction of Kim Tae-hyun's finger and instantly understood what Kim Tae-hyun wanted to ask, so he smiled and said, "I found these three trainees to dance with, and these five are the members I chose, of course, now it's just to be determined, if there is a more suitable candidate, we will have to replace them at any time." ”
Kim Tae-hyun suddenly realized after listening to Lee so-geun's explanation,
Lee so-geun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Taehyun, you are wrong to understand it this way, any combination is allowed to change personnel before its debut, even if it is a group that has already debuted, it is also allowed to change personnel without necessity." ”
Speaking of this, Li Xiugen paused and then spoke: "What we need to do now is to interview the right person when a talent scout recommends the right candidate, and as long as it is a more suitable person than the existing member, we can replace the existing candidate." ”
Kim Tae-hyun felt a little stumped after listening to Lee so-geun's explanation, and Lee so-geun said in just a few words about the cruel elimination system that trainees want to debut.
Kim Tae-hyun also knows that what Lee so-geun said is only a small part of this system, and it will be even more cruel when he really debuts.
First of all, it's one thing whether the debut can be successful or not, if you can't succeed, the time spent preparing for your debut will be in vain, and you have to start all over again. In South Korea, there are not many newcomers who debut every year, but there are only a few who can really stand firm every year.
Even if the debut is successful, it is one thing to be popular after the successful debut, and it is the same thing if it is not popular, if it is red, it is the same thing to help the company make money a few years ago, and he can get very little, and if he does not renew the contract with the company after the contract expires, he will be suppressed by the company.
To sum up, there is no shortage of artists in the Korean entertainment industry, if you want to be popular, you have to listen to the company, if you want to get real freedom, you have to have a background and strength like Uncle Bird; Otherwise, he is as influential and connected as Liu Zaishi in the future.
However, there is only one Uncle Bird and one Liu Zaishi in the Korean entertainment industry, so if you want to be free and popular in the Korean entertainment industry, wash and sleep early!
"Taehyun, Taehyun?" Kim Tae-hyun was awakened by Lee so-geun's voice while thinking about this.
Kim Tae-hyun looked at Lee so-geun with some confusion, "Brother so-geun, am I distracted?" ”
Li Xiugen smiled awkwardly, "Nei, I think it should be." ”
Kim Tae-hyun was a little speechless, he didn't have this problem before, could it be the sequelae left by filming?
Kim Tae-hyun knew that now was not the time to think about this, and now he had something to say, "Brother Su-geun, just tell me what you want me to do." ”
Li Xiugen thought for a while and said, "Taixian, although I am very busy here, what I need to do is some highly professional work, which cannot be learned in a day or two. I don't want you to do these jobs, you just interview the children who were recommended by the scouts at the appointed interview time every day, and when the time comes, you just get off work. ”
Kim Tae-hyun nodded, "That's fine, what time is the interview?" ”
Li Xiugen took out a watch and said, "Every day is from 10 am to 5 pm, and there is an hour of rest in between, when you find an excellent child, let someone notify me, and I will go to see it myself." ”
"Min-so, you take Tae-hyun to the interview room first." Lee so-geun instructed Choi Min-so.
"Brother Xiugen, do you mean that I came to the interview alone?" Kim Tae-hyun felt a little ridiculous, last time there was Kim Jong Kook with him, and now he is going to be alone?
"Inside, don't worry, I'm sure you can do it well." Lee so-geun patted Kim Tae-hyun.
"Okay then, I'll go first?" Kim Tae-hyun is not a procrastinator, just one person!
After saying goodbye to Kim Tae-hyun and Lee so-geun, he left the practice room with Choi Min-so.
