However, after this audition, many people were surprised to find that this song, whether it was arranged or sung, was something they had never heard before.

Starting with Jpop's elegant piano prelude and drum beat, after the rapid piano play as the rhythm progresses, all the analog instruments in the mixing equipment are put into battle. The tide part completely ignited the hidden passion in all the listeners.

Therefore, many people immediately fell into deep brainwashing and poisoning after listening to it, and began to use computers, mobile phones, iPod... and other listening devices for the single to loop, and the song "Unravel" also began to spread like a virus, from the initial fan group to various surrounding groups, causing a hurricane in the entire Korean music industry.

On December 23rd, in just two days, the major online music charts in South Korea, cyworld, melon, jukeno... Including Hanteo, one of Korea's leading music charts, it was an unstoppable stance that neither S.M nor Lee Sang-hyuk expected, but its popularity soared and won the first place in one fell swoop.

Like a thunderclap on the ground, the entire Korean music industry was shocked, "Unravel", an innovative song that has never appeared in the history of Korean ballads, was really composed by Lee Sang-hyuk, a high school student who was only 17 years old? And it is said that he is also a genius passerby in the e-sports entertainment industry, showing off the top national e-sports idols such as pawn and watch, and an e-sports genius can write this kind of song across the border, which makes the predecessors of the Korean music industry embarrassed? Can anyone tell me what the hell is wrong with this world?

And the Korean song criticism circle is obviously not idle, on the first day "Unravel" quickly burst into fire on various charts and attracted widespread attention from the masses, and there are also a lot of doubts under the praise, after all, a seventeen-year-old high school student can actually create this kind of song across the border is really unexpected to the extreme, and rumors are rife for a while.

However, with the swift response of S.M's public relations department and the personal statement of S.M's top music producer Kim Ji-jung, Kim Ji-jung, who graduated from the Berklee School of Music, is not only the director of a company like S.M, a behemoth in the entertainment industry, but also her dazzling qualifications that have personally made many idol groups and SOLO artists popular make her have a considerable say in the Korean music industry.

"Sanghyuk is something I've never seen before, a real, musical genius." This is the original words in Kim Jizheng's statement, and with the emergence of such words, the doubts from many media in the entertainment industry and rumors from all aspects of society have stopped for a while.

And when Lee Sang-hyuk's "Unravel" topped the Korean online music charts with an unstoppable attitude two days later, the music critics were immediately filled with all kinds of praise, including the really applauding media, the unscrupulous people in top hats, and of course, the S.M PR department.

"A 17-year-old miracle, the pioneer of a new genre of Korean music." - Seventeen, a fashion and music magazine.

"Esports genius? A musical genius? Smile! Which one is the real him? —Cinday Esports Entertainment Weekly.

"Unravel, a song that can make the soul tremble." ——《Showweek》

The previous doubts and countless praises have spread at a terrifying speed through various media in South Korea, a country with extremely advanced information technology, and Lee Sang-hyuk, who is in Gwangju, has recently been troubled by various problems since the release of the 19th photo.

Now Lee Sang-hyuk rides his bicycle to school in the morning, and the standard attire is a scarf, a mask and a baseball cap, because Gwangju is not as good as Seoul, and even less than Gangnam-gu, Seoul, where stars are everywhere, and he has experienced several times before on the way to school in the morning, being recognized by enthusiastic fans and asking for autographs, so that he not only has to sign autographs and take photos with a smile on a winter morning, but also has to mentally calculate how late he has been.

So there is the current dress, as for the baseball cap that Lee Meier wore before, Lee Sang-hyuk also took it easily.

As for arriving at school, every day when he enters the classroom, the desks will be piled up with all kinds of small gifts, and in the face of the enthusiasm of these younger students in the same school, Li Xianghyuk naturally can't refuse, so he can only put them in a locker and then use a bag to put them back for Li Meier to dispose of at her discretion.

However, the classmates in the same class may have been together for a long time, and they don't have too much curiosity about stars for Lee Sang-hyuk, but occasionally ask him about the release time of his new MAD album during class, and Lee Sang-hyuk can only say sorry that he doesn't know, because these are all arranged by S.M, and he only said that it will be Christmas at the latest, and Lee Sang-hyuk doesn't care too much about these, so he didn't ask deeply.

In Lee Sang-hyuk's eyes, Zheng Xiujing has been getting more and more strange recently, basically she doesn't talk to Lee Sang-hyuk, as a squad leader, she usually has any class affairs to say, and when it is Lee Sang-hyuk's turn, she is also very formulaic and won't say a word of irrelevance.

Lee Sang-hyuk could only touch his nose in his eyes, and he didn't know how he offended the little crystal in the eyes of this girlhood, but her tablemate Li Shengmei looked at him several times, and he had an expression of wanting to say something.

And Choi Kyung-cheol, who was sitting at the back of the class, was obviously keenly aware of this, since Lee Sang-hyuk became famous in the e-sports entertainment industry, people in the class usually took the initiative to go over and talk to Lee Sang-hyuk, who seemed a little isolated before, but Choi Kyung-chul is a boy's self-esteem, and he still looks like he loves to answer and ignores Lee Sang-hyuk, but he won't trouble him like before.

But Choi Kyung-chul later heard that Lee Sang-hyuk and Jung so-kyung went to watch the OGN Winter Game together, and the relationship between the two became much closer, originally Jung so-kyung went to the restaurant with them to eat, but later he brought a lunch box with Lee Sang-hyuk every day to the waiting room next to the restaurant to eat, so many classmates in the class said behind their backs that Lee Sang-hyuk and Jung so-kyung were dating.

For this, Cui Jingzhe naturally saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, but there was no other way for a while. But recently, seeing Jung so-kyung's unreasonable attitude towards Lee Sang-hyuk, Choi Kyung-chul found that his opportunity seemed to have come again.

.........

"Xiujing, let's go to the restaurant to eat together at noon today, the restaurant has recently launched a new dish, you may not know if you don't go, it's super delicious." After class at noon, Choi Kyung-chul put his arm around his friend Kim Dong-min and walked to Zheng Xiujing's side and pretended not to care, and then he pushed Kim Dong-min and signaled, "Yes, Dongmin." ”

"Yes, yes, it's really delicious." Kim Dongmin, who looked a little chubby, immediately reacted and said.

Jung so-kyung, who was sitting on the table to clean up her things, heard Choi Kyung-chul's words, and subconsciously glanced at Lee Sang-hyuk behind her, but found that Lee Sang-hyuk was still sitting there with his head down as if he hadn't heard it, not knowing what to look at.

Zheng Xiujing couldn't help but push the pink lunch box in the desk into her bag with some anger, and got up with a smile and wanted to say, "Okay, I'm too..."

However, before she finished speaking, Lee Sang-hyuk walked to Zheng Xiujing's desk at some point, supported the table with both hands, looked at Zheng Xiujing with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Xiujing, have you forgotten that the two of us are the best lunch partners." ”

Then he looked at Choi Kyung-chul with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, Kyung-cheol, Xiujing has already agreed to go to dinner with me." ”

"Axi, stinky boy, didn't you hear what Xiujing just said..."Cui Jingzhe couldn't help but curse when he saw this.

"Next time, Kyung-cheol, I have something to say to Sang-hyuk today." Zheng Xiujing turned her head to Choi Kyung-chul with some apologies and said.

Then she carefully looked at the face of Lee Sang-hyuk who suddenly appeared with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but she suddenly mustered up the courage in her heart and decided to do something.
