After a while, a familiar figure pushed the door and walked into the practice room.

As the head of the room who manages the female trainees, he looked at the children who were all sitting on the floor resting, and did not delay everyone's time.

Clapping his hands to attract their attention, he said, "There's something special to announce, everyone be quiet and listen to me." ”

The head-to-ear discussion in the practice room quickly stopped, and he looked around and cleared his throat, and carefully explained the content of today's impromptu meeting to the girls in front of him.

After listening, everyone fell into a deep thought, and a few quietly watched the reactions of others.

President Park Jin-young attaches great importance to this matter. So, you're going upstairs to practice tomorrow until the final selection is decided! ”

Two bombshells were thrown in succession.

These words undoubtedly brought a huge surprise to everyone, and everyone knows what it means to be able to go upstairs and practice.

Although I didn't say how many people I would choose, for those who have not yet entered the debut group, this is already an opportunity to change the status quo!

What's more, this is not an ordinary stage performance.

......

As early as May 10, Starship officially released a statement on the merger with GK Entertainment.

For several days, the official website was discussing the situation of the new girl group in the company.

Coincidentally, SISTAR, as the company's leading girl group, is also preparing to return.

The main feature of the new album is "Touch my body", which was created by the black-eyed Bisheng who has worked with Li Haoyang for a long time.

Song Zhouying and Cui Kuisheng co-wrote many hit songs with Li Haoyang in the early days.

In April, the two decided to work together to form Blackeye Victory.

……

JYP. E and Starship are across the road from each other.

In order to have a better practice environment, EXID, who joined the company as a newcomer, was arranged by Leon to practice at JYP.E.

Jin Shi, the president of Starship, who has not met with Li Ang so far, has sent messages and complained to Li Ang since the meeting.

It's already my own child, but I haven't even met once until now.

And as compensation, on the day he promised Park Jin-young, Li Ang also revealed the same news to him.

……

May 15th.

JYP. E's large five-story practice room.

It was supposed to be a very simple thing, but it was forced into a literary performance.

Li Ang, who was sitting on the far left, supported his chin with one hand, and on his right, Kim Si and Park Jin-young were chatting and laughing.

"Heong, do you regret your decision the other day?" As a person who walked out of this company, Kim Jong looked at Park Jin-young, who was one year older than him, and asked.

"Even if I say I regret it, I can't change anything."

JYP.E has missed too many people over the years, and this question has been asked more than once.

is like complaining about Mr. Li Xiuman of S.M, and his answer is the same every time.

……

Under the special arrangement, in addition to the more than 30 trainees selected by the two companies and the main person in charge of the company, there are more than 30 trainees in the entire large practice room.

Even the artists who didn't have an itinerary today gathered together.

The reason for this arrangement is to see if they can complete the stage completely under high-pressure conditions, after all, they will have to broadcast the performance live in front of tens of thousands of people.

In just forty-eight hours, excluding the time for eating and sleeping, he could memorize the choreography in such a short time, which Li Ang himself could not do.

With a specially prepared list, the candidates are determined one by one.

More than two hours later.

As the last trainee finished performing, Park Jin-young and Kim looked at the list in Lee Ang's hand almost at the same time, after all, the final decision was still in his hands.

"Now announce it on the spot? Or will I give you the list and you go back and publish it yourself? Leon glanced around again, looked up and asked after confirming that it was correct.

"Let's announce it now, I have confidence in the strength of my own children."

Immediately afterwards, Jin Shi also echoed and said that there was no problem.

When they both said so, there was no ink. Got up and went to the front row, took the microphone and began to announce the confirmed list.

"Everyone has worked hard in the past two days."

"Regardless of the final result, I hope you can all remember this feeling of desperateness, and I believe that you will have a better opportunity soon!"

The girls sitting in a circle around the practice room held their friends' hands and nervously waited for the results to be announced, and there was a depressing atmosphere in the practice room.

"I chose eight people for the final list, and then read the names of the people!"

"Kim Hyun-yeon, Kim Ji-yeon, Choo So-jeong, Lim Na-yeon, Yu Jeong-yeon, Hirai Momo, Minato Sasha, Park Ji-hyo."

One after another the names were called out until the end, and the top few places in this 'art show' were so determined.

Among these eight people, although some of their dancing skills are not the most prominent, they are the oldest among the girls in this group.

This is also the most distressing thing when he chooses, looking at the girls on the list who are still minors, he regrets a little that he agreed to do this.

……

"Ernie, do you want to celebrate in the evening?" Qiu Zhaozhen hugged the eldest sister who was the oldest in the trainee from behind.

"Didn't the president just say that there is something to talk about when I go back?"

Gently removing the hair strap from the ends of his hair and wrapping the long hair that had fallen to his shoulders, Kim Hyun Yan said in a daze.

"Ernie you're a fool, I'm talking about going back to the dorm at night." Grabbing her shoulders from behind and shaking her body, he complained speechlessly.

"Eh~"

The fight between the two accidentally bumped into the trainee on the side.

Since this is not in their own company, the two were also embarrassed to apologize first, but fortunately the other party didn't mind.

After the two left, Yu Dingyan, who had finished taking things from the cabinet, put his arm around Lin Nalian's shoulders and asked, "Shall we call the other three people selected in the company and find a place to celebrate?" ”

"I may have to go home in the evening, and if I want to go to the United States, I have to discuss it with my family..."

"Wouldn't it be okay to give my aunt a call? Besides, we don't know how long we're going to go this time, so it's very necessary to enhance our relationship in advance! ”

"ok ok ok I promise, hurry up and let go of your arm, I'm going to be out of breath!"

……

Bars in Itaewon.

After the trivial business was taken care of, Leon and Ricardo came to the store together.

During this time, I didn't have time to have a good drink.

The restless music in the venue and the alcohol drive away the fatigue of the day.

And in the same position, I did accidentally meet a person who I hadn't seen for a long time, but I was deeply impressed.

"Long time no see~"
