YGEntertainment is Korea's most representative entertainment company focusing on RB and hiphop music. Successfully launched super powerful singers including SE7EN, Swi.T, Huixing, Gummy, etc.

YG's leader, Yang Hyun-suk, is a member of the smash hit group 'Seo Tae-ji & Kids' in the 90s, YG means 'YangGoon', which is the initials of its president, Yang Hyun-seok.

In the entertainment industry, when something new or someone just emerges, everyone often flocks to it, even if it is an agency like YG.

Initiative is important.

However, YG's invitation to Kim Sung-won was not a song for him, but a personal invitation from Yang Hyun-suk, inviting him to discuss music production together.

Looking at the songs written by Kim Sung-won, from Cho Sung-mo's "Stay by Your Side" to Kim Jong-kook's "Standing Still" and "Cute", almost all of them are lyrical songs, I don't know why Yang Hyun-suk, a senior who is obsessed with HIPHOP music, invited him.

Jin Shengyuan suddenly realized the thoughts that suddenly popped up in his mind, and after a night of struggle, he suddenly realized: enjoying life can also be a positive attitude, not only laziness, addiction, etc. are to enjoy life, as long as you do what you like is enjoyment.

Kim Sung-won likes to study and music, and Yang Hyun-suk's invitation is just the right time for him to learn this kind of musical concept that he has never been exposed to before. So, Kim Sung-won came to YG two days later.

YG's building is simple, but there are also a few boys and girls at the entrance, some of whom are here to cheer on their favorite idols, and some who want to become trainees of the company and step into the stars.

After receiving a call from Kim Sung-won, Yang Hyun-seok personally came to greet Kim Sung-won outside YG's door, flattering him.

However, before the two could make contact, a little girl suddenly ran out and said to Yang Hyun-suk, "Excuse me!" "The voice was firm and surprising.

Yang Xianshuo turned his head, only to see a very present girl handing him a pile of things in his hand and saying, "President Yang, hello." This is a video of my singing and dancing, a self-introduction book, and a singing material, so please check it out! ”

Yang Xianshuo was stunned, took the things in his hand, looked at the little girl and asked, "How old are you?" ”

"My name is Li Cailin, and I am sixteen years old this year." The girl said with some excitement, "Please be sure to watch it, if you don't watch it, don't regret it in the future!" ”

"Hehe," Yang Hyun-seok chuckled.

"If you don't read it, don't regret it in the future!" Li Cailin bowed and retreated, while saying non-stop.

Jin Shengyuan saw all this in his eyes, and was a little surprised by the strength of the little girl.

"Senior Yang Xianshuo, hello." Only then did Jin Shengyuan step forward and bow in greeting.

"Hello, Shengyuan." Yang Hyun-seok smiled very specially, with a feeling of his head slightly tilted up, revealing a row of teeth on it, giving people a very friendly feeling.

"I've heard a few of the songs you've written, and they're great." Yang Xianshuo said, his attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, as if a gentle senior is praising his juniors.

"Xiexie seniors compliment." Jin Shengyuan knew the gap between his current level and those of them, so he didn't have the slightest pride.

Since it was just a purely private exchange, Choi Hyun-joon left after sending Kim Sung-won to him.

Kim Sung-won followed Yang Hyun-seok to his office.

"The purpose of my invitation to come is just for the exchange between music productions. WHILE I LOVE HIPHOP AND YOU'RE GOOD AT LYRICAL SONGS, THE MUSIC HAS SOMETHING IN COMMON, AND WE CAN TALK TO EACH OTHER. Yang Hyun-seok said it very tactfully, which is very in line with the feeling of his appearance.

"Xiexie senior, I just want to learn HIPHOP music, and I hope to get your guidance." Jin Shengyuan said seriously.

Yang Hyun Suk was stunned, he almost doubted that he had heard the wrong words.

Seoul National University's students, gentlemen, and the songs he wrote...... All of these gave Jin Shengyuan a "orthodox" title.

Moreover, Yang Hyun-seok has carefully examined Kim Sung-won's experience, and he has never shown interest in HIPHOP music.

However, Yang Xianshuo quickly reacted and said with a smile: "Okay." ”

As a member of "Seo Tae-ji & the Children" and the head of YG, he is fully qualified to accept it.

Jin Shengyuan's musical concept has a strong "Zheng Zhuyuan" color, he has been studying with Zheng Zhuyuan for just over two years, and has not yet formed his own unique style. …,

Yang Hyun Suk loves pure HipHop music, and the stage accumulation during the singer period, and the experience of creating successful artists after becoming a producer is much higher than Kim Sung-won.

Kim Sung-won didn't know why Yang Hyun-seok invited him to come, whether it was really just a "simple music exchange" as he said, but this had no impact on Kim Sung-won's goal, not to mention that Yang Hyun-seok has always had a good reputation in the circle.

After a brief exchange of ideas, Yang Hyun-seok invited Kim Sung-won to the practice room to watch the "children" perform.

"They're a boy group I'm going to launch at the end of the year, and I think their performances will definitely give you an intuitive understanding of HIPHOP music." Yang Hyun Suk invited Kim Sung-won.

Kim Sung-won didn't shirk and went with Yang Hyun-seok to a regular practice room on the second floor of YG Company.

"YG hasn't released a new team in the last three years, and they're the first 10-generation group to sign with YG. Rather than creating a singing group, I want to create an excellent group, greedily speaking, it is a very talented group, it should be like the previous combination of 'Xu Taizhi and the children'. Yang Hyun Suk explained to Kim Sung-won.

"The ambition of the predecessors is really amazing." Kim Sung-won said with a little joke, "I'm very much looking forward to their debut." ”

"Hehe," Yang Xianshuo chuckled.

In the practice room, which is a little smaller than S.M, there is a sound of music that shocks the eardrums, and the passionate melody makes people's blood boil.

The door of the practice room was ajar, and Yang Hyun-seok pushed the door directly and walked in.

"President!" Six sweaty trainees and two instructors bowed down and shouted.

"Well," Yang Xianshuo nodded and said, "This is Senior Jin Shengyuan." ”

"Hello, senior." The six trainees had obviously heard Jin Shengyuan's name, and a trace of excitement flashed in their eyes, and they greeted in unison.

"Hello." Jin Shengyuan said with a smile.

"Introduce yourself." Yang Hyun-seok said.

"Hello senior, I am Quan Zhilong, my specialty is Rap, Dance, BeatBox, lyrics, English, Chinese." Said a boy with a smile on his face.

"Hello senior, I'm Higanaga Bae, and my specialty is Rap, Dance, BratBox, Japanese." The smile was warm, said the boy with a pair of beautiful smiling eyes.

"Hello seniors, I'm Jiang Dacheng, and my specialty is singing." Said the boy with eyes similar to Kim Jong Kook.

"Hello seniors, I'm Zhang Xiansheng, and my specialty is singing." The boy with a handsome appearance and a very persistent look in his eyes said.

"Hello seniors, I'm Choi Seung-hyun, and my specialty is Rap, BeatBox, and composition." Said a boy with a deep facial contour.

"Hello senior, I'm Zhang Shengxian. His specialties are dance, singing, and choreography. Zuihou, a boy with dark circles under his eyes, said.

"Among them, only Zhilong and Yongpei have signed contracts with the company, and the remaining four are ordinary trainees. However, in the period before their debut, I have been carefully observing their performance, and it is possible that one or four of them will be eliminated! Yang Xianshuo's words made the six boys opposite tense slightly.

Kim Sung-won finally understood Yang Hyun-suk's intention to invite him to come, exchanging music is a goal, or a means to attract him, after all, being able to exchange experience in this area with Yang Hyun-seok in person is afraid that many music producers can't ask for it. Another goal is to ask him to help him check the strengths and weaknesses of these six trainees, and whether YG still lacks training for them.

Don't look at Jin Shengyuan's ignorance of HIPHOP music, but the success of artists is not only about music, but also about the artist's own performance, stage control, etc., the company's packaging, positioning and development strategy, etc., any mistake in any aspect may lead to their failure.

Therefore, companies such as S.M often go through a year or two of selection and training before launching a new combination.

Yang Hyun-seok does not value Kim Sung-won's ability to compose lyrics and produce music, but what he values is Kim Sung-won's accurate grasp of the market, as well as his dual identity as a variety show host and music producer.

Because of his identity as a host, Kim Sung-won has been in contact with various new and old groups such as former HOT members, TVXQ, SS501, and SJ who has just debuted, and at the same time, because of his identity as a music producer, he can keenly observe the advantages and disadvantages of these groups, and even analyze their respective characteristics and reasons for success.

Therefore, Yang Xianshuo hopes that Kim Sung-won can help him compare these six trainees and tap their potential and shortcomings. …,

"Zhilong and Yongpei show off their specialties." Yang Hyun-seok said.

The Rap, BeatBox, and dance prowess of the two made Kim Sung-won feel a little new, a field he had never touched.

After a brief contact, Yang Hyun Suk took Kim Sung-won to the recording studio to exchange music.

In fact, it is mainly Yang Hyun Suk who tells Kim Sung-won all kinds of knowledge about HIPHOP music, and occasionally gives him examples and analyses.

Yang Hyun Suk believes that Kim Sung-won should have guessed his purpose, so the most important thing at the moment is to make Kim Sung-won feel that it is worth the money, and he can stay without taking the initiative to express his position.

It's better for both parties to tacitly agree on this kind of thing, after all, it's not too glamorous for YG. Yang Hyun-seok also made this decision after several considerations, because, as Kim Sung-won said, his "ambitions" for this combination are too great.

However, when Kim Sung-won was surprised to say the sentence "It turns out that HIPHOP music can also be lyrical", Yang Hyun-seok was shocked and looked at Kim Sung-won with his mouth wide open, he really doubted that the guy in front of him was a music producer, and even if he understood music!

As a result, Yang Hyun Suk spent almost all his days "brainwashing" Kim Sung-won, and Kim Sung-won's "ignorance" completely stimulated his love for HIPHOP music.

Yang Hyun Suk never imagined that there would be a music producer who knew nothing about HIPHOP music, and Kim Sung-won was like a junior trainee, who was reprimanded and corrected some of the dumbfounded and absurd ideas that popped up from time to time.

"Xiexie's seniors' guidance, I'll come back tomorrow." Seeing that it was late, Jin Shengyuan got up and said goodbye. However, he already thinks of himself as a trainee of YG.

Yang Xianshuo opened his dry lips and paused, before saying, "Okay, that's it." ”

Although the two sides tacitly agreed and achieved what they wanted, Yang Hyun-seok was afraid that if he taught Kim Sung-won for a long time, would he break out with high blood pressure, heart disease and other diseases, and as a president, it was already commendable that he could spare a short period of time every day to teach Kim Sung-won, and it was impossible for him to teach him all day like today.

After Kim Sung-won left, Yang Hyun-seok found Choi Son Seok, the company's teacher in charge of teaching music to the trainees, and asked him to start tomorrow and take a period of time every day to teach Kim Sung-won.

Cui Xianshi was obviously very happy to be able to teach Jin Shengyuan, and agreed without hesitation. The children's training is very systematic, and there are many aspects such as dance and physical strength, so it is easy for Cui Xianshi to find time.

However, less than an hour after teaching Kim Sung-won the next day, Choi Son Seok understood that the president, Weishenme, would hand over the job to him.

It is better to teach Jin Shengyuan to teach a newcomer who doesn't understand music, at least the newcomer is like a blank piece of paper, he can sketch at will, but Jin Shengyuan always has some stubborn ideas in his mind, which are very strange and absurd in Cui Xianshi's opinion, and they emerge endlessly, so that he has to focus most of his energy on this aspect that can completely exhaust people to death.

"He's even more stubborn than Jang Hyun-seung," was the sentence Choi Xian-seok said the most in his report to Yang Hyun-seok after the day.
