Chapter IX May

"Hyuna Nuna, be gentle when doing this stretch, don't be as hard as me, you're all women, aren't you? We should pay more attention to the physical beauty of women."

"And the sense of rhythm is a little stronger, Jihyun Nuna, you look so untouched now, what about the expression on your face? Even if it's practice, you have to pay attention to your expression."

“…………”

The spacious practice room is filled with the sound of music, the sound of footsteps rubbing against the floor, and the stern sound of Jung so-hoon pointing out the lack of 4minute members, among which Jung so-hoon's voice is not loud, but it is the most special because every time he speaks, the music will be played again, which means that the dance that is halfway through the dance must be repeated.

The name of the first girl group to be launched by the company has been chosen, called 4minute, which can be understood as 'for (a) minute', which means that every moment is done well, and the captain is not Kim Hyun Ah, who has debut experience, but Nam Ji Hyun, the oldest in the selected team.

The arrangement and lyrics of 4minute's debut single "hotissue" were created by the company's music directors M.K and Jung so-hoon, and in order to better train him, M.K deliberately asked him to take over the follow-up choreography, so the number of times he came to the 4minute practice room has increased greatly recently.

This can make Fang Rongguo and the other three envious, they have never experienced the time when the male and female trainees practiced on the same floor, and by the time they entered the company, the male and female trainees had already been separated, so far they have rarely seen female trainees in the same company, let alone Jin Hyunya and others who are about to debut.

After many failures, this time the practice finally did not go on a business trip, Zheng Xiuxun, who had been sitting in front of the mirror wall and watching, did not open his mouth from beginning to end, and as the music ended, the members of 4Minute were relieved, and even sat directly on the ground without image, and they were also a little overwhelmed by the long-term and high-intensity practice.

"This time is good, I will say that Nuna is willing to work hard, and they will definitely be able to do a good job" Sending his own applause, Zheng Xiuxun, who had been expressionless, finally showed a little smile and praised.

"I said, you stinky boy, you did it on purpose!" Nam Ji-hyun made a vicious expression, "I also kept looking in the mirror when I was dancing, why didn't I notice the problems you said?" ”

"Nuna, you pay too much attention to the mirror, that's why you forget the expression on your face," Jung so-hoon explained, "With me watching in front, Nuna just needs to focus on practice, and I will definitely point out any problems."

"But then again, so-hoon, who has a serious expression on his face, looks so scary" Kim Hyun-ah, who is only a few months older than him, muttered in a low voice, "It makes me feel like I want to meet the president at the end of the month."

"Huh?" Zheng Xiuxun paused for a moment, and then retorted, "How can I be so fierce......"

"That's it, Xiuxun, Nuna gives you a piece of advice" Xu Jiayun leaned over and said seriously, "If you make your debut in the future, when you face the camera, don't be like that just now, maybe it will scare away a lot of female fans, even if the fans don't care, if you scare the idols of other girl groups, then Wuli Xiuxun's score in the minds of female idols will be reduced a lot, so it will be worth the loss."

"Ah, Gayun Nuna! Don't take you to bully people like this" Zheng Xiuxun cried and laughed, "You are Nuna, and you are a senior who is about to make your debut, how can you bully me, a junior brother, like this?" ”

"Poof, how can this be called bullying you? Nuna is also kind" Nam Ji-hyun covered his mouth and kept laughing, trying to make a well-intentioned appearance, but the unstoppable smile between his eyebrows betrayed her very thoroughly.

"Okay, okay, it's almost time to rest, hurry up and practice" In the face of ridicule, the speechless Zheng Xiuxun had to announce his personal vendetta, who let him be in charge of the choreography of 4minute?

"Hey, hey, so-hoon, you're a foul!" As soon as they heard that they were going to practice, Nam Ji-hyun and the others couldn't laugh anymore, and they complained one after another.

"I'm doing this for the good of Nuna, how fierce the competition in the women's group market is now, pay more sweat in the practice room, and gain more when you debut in the future" Zheng Xiuxun preached in a serious manner, but Nam Jihyun and others couldn't refute anything...... I can only continue to practice according to what he said, but I silently wrote down this account in my heart, and there will always be a time to take revenge!

Although he has to be distracted and responsible for the affairs of 4minute, this does not mean that the requirements for his team will be relaxed, but when Jung so-hoon himself is not here, he always asks Fang Yong-kook to take Nam Woo-hyun and Lee Chan-hee to conduct daily exercises with Yoon Doo-jun and their group in the next practice room.

As for the content of the assessment at the end of the month, after he came back from the 4minute side, the four of them practiced together, and most of his time during the day was occupied, so he could only stay up late at night to make up for the time delayed during the day, no way, Fang Rongguo and others were also pulled to work overtime together, but for trainees, staying up late to practice was a normal thing.

The severe cold has passed, the spring flowers are blooming, and the pace of spring is gradually coming, and before I know it, Zheng Xiuxun has been in CUBE for a year, and the arrival of spring not only brings warm temperatures and recovery of all things on the earth, but also sends the last member of their group.

In the open recruitment program held in March, another new trainee was assigned to their group, named Lee Hongbin, also from Seoul, born in the same year as Lee Chan-hee, but more than a month older than him.

Li Hongbin's personal ability is quite strong, he can be both a voice and a rapper, a very comprehensive person, and his appearance is not bad, but unconsciously the average appearance of the team has been raised again, among the current 5 people, Fang Rongguo's appearance is not so good, but he is a rapper, and his voice is so unique, if he can really make his debut, it is estimated that his popularity in the team will definitely not be low.

After Lee Hongbin joined, M.K talked to Jung so-hoon, this is the last member of their group, and asked him to lead the members to practice, and the debut team is very likely to be selected from Yoon Doo-jun's group, and then it will be up to him to see which group is stronger.

Hearing this news, it greatly stimulated the momentum of Zheng Xiuxun and others' practice, but at the moment their biggest problem is to improve Li Hongbin's strength, the 'short board effect' is applicable to any field, although Li Hongbin is very talented, but after all, he has no experience as a trainee, and talent also needs a lot of practice to transform into his own strength.

Li Zan Xitong guò has made great progress in the past few months of hard practice, and he has been able to keep up with the footsteps of the three of them, Li Hongbin can't, he can't keep up with the beat when practicing, there is no way, the four of them have to slow down the pace of practice, and first try to help Li Hongbin improve his strength and lay a good foundation.

And the pleasant atmosphere in the team has not changed because of the arrival of newcomers, Li Hongbin's personality is also very good, he belongs to the kind of person who is very serious and positive, he has a good attitude towards practice, and he is very strict with his own requirements, but he is not as active as Li Chanxi, but he still integrates well into the team.

The strength of the team is getting stronger day by day, and Li Erya's confidence is getting stronger and stronger, as the captain of the team, he can't just take care of himself, and he also needs to pay attention to the growth of his teammates.

At the end of the day's practice, the members were sitting and resting in a scattered manner, Zheng Xiuxun suddenly stood up, clapped his hands and said, "Why don't we go next door to find Brother Dou Jun and try them out?" It's been a long time since Hongbin joined the team, and now that Hongbin has almost practiced, it's time to see the results! ”

"Yes, last time, Brother Junheng laughed at me, saying that we were afraid of losing and didn't dare to compete with them, and we had to find a place today!" Fang Rongguo was the first to express his support.

Then Nam You-hyun and Lee Chan-hee also nodded, and Lee Hongbin, who had not experienced this incident, paused for a moment and nodded, and a group of 5 people were ready to go to Yoon Doo-jun and others with great interest.

In fact, both parties also know that each other is the biggest enemy of each other's debut, so the competitive atmosphere between each other is very strong, but this does not affect the feelings of both parties.

Time passes day by day, and this year's Korean music industry is still quite lively, for example, Wondergirls swept the entire country with a song "Nobody", and even swept the world, and began to enter the European and American markets, and for example, after experiencing the "Black Sea", Girls' Generation did not slump, but with a song "Gee" is sweeping the major domestic music charts.

On the first day of May, Cube released the information of 4Minute captain Nam Ji Hyun Hyun and member Kim Hyun Ah, and announced the sound source of "HotIssue" on the 16th, because of Kim Hyun Ah, a former member of Wondergirls, it has attracted a lot of attention on the Internet, and the evaluation of the song "Hotissue" is also good, but how to wait for 4Minute to officially participate in the song show can not be known, But it's a good start.

When the time came to the end of May, Zheng Xiuxun began to get busy again, no, it should be said that the whole team became busy, because it means that the month-end assessment is coming, and for Zheng Xiuxun, his birthday is also coming, whether he can get a good evaluation and spend his 18th birthday depends on this month-end assessment.
