It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 1 Debut Notice
(hanyu)

The first half of 2014 was extremely extraordinary for Star Museum, which has been suffering since the beginning of the year.

At the beginning of the year, the members of Age of Love exposed their love affairs one after another. Li Xiuman also made news because of the purchase of a villa and mansion. Even in May, EXO suddenly got up and quit the team...

In the first half of the year, Star Museum's two pillar-level combinations broke out scandals and leaving the team one after another. The entire company became the main source of entertainment public opinion in the first half of the year.

Compared with the love news of the seniors of the girl group that has debuted for nearly seven years, the news that the members of the popular boy group Chadan suddenly broke out and filed a lawsuit against the company after only two years of debut is even more eye-catching.

In this eventful autumn, Cha Dan, who has become the protagonist of public opinion news, secretly has a new plan.

……

On June 2014, 6, in a dance practice room of the Star Museum company, the trainees who dreamed of debuting and becoming famous were sweating vigorously, struggling to support themselves in a state of dim hope and blurred future.

In 2014, the company only had one girl group planned, and the members had already been selected and were actively preparing for their debut.While the mainstay of the men's group is in full swing, the company has not revealed plans for a men's group or a male solo. The male trainees are now struggling to support themselves, waiting for the company's arrangements.

The practice time of trainees is never calculated in months and days. Everyone uses the unit of year, and there is no special case for debut artists.

But on this day, SM has a special case.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

Three knocks on the door interrupted the trainees who were practicing the tea egg hit single "Roar" of the seniors, paused the music playback, and sent the youngest Kang Jae-hyuk, who has been practicing for two and a half years, to answer the door.

"Hi Mr. Li, may I ask what you want?"

Hearing Kang Jae Hyuk's respectful and careful reaction, the trainees all became nervous for a moment.

The trainee director not only manages the lives of the trainees, but may also decide their fate.

"Are you practicing dance?" Director Li smiled gently, looked in through the opening where Jiang Zaihe stepped aside, and said hello to the trainees, "Everyone is working hard! But we still have to Keep up the good work, the one who persists until the end may become the winner.”

Then Director Li found his target from among the trainees standing in line, and said directly: "Xu Lai, come with me."

"Uh~"

Xu Lai, who didn't expect to be cueed, had a bad expression, pursed his lips nervously, and left the practice room following the steps of Director Li under the watchful eyes of the trainees, either worried or gloating.

The door of the practice room was closed again, and Jiang Zaihyuk, who was in charge of closing the door and was anxiously walking towards Xu Lai before closing the door, was frowning anxiously, "Brother Xu Lai will be fine, right? His recent class I don't have any problems with my life..."

The tone is slightly irritable, which is a sign of young age and little experience.

"It's not necessarily a bad thing, maybe it's a good thing? Jae Hyuk, don't think too much about it. You two are close roommates, but let's practice first. As the room manager said just now, you can only work hard and Only those who persevere till the end will win."

"Ah this..."

Before Jiang Jae-hyuk could slow down, the trainees took their positions again, and the music of "Roar" sounded again. The training was not affected by Xu Lai's absence, nor was his position vacated because of Xu Lai's departure.

……

Mr. Li was right just now. Only those who persevere and work hard can win in the end.

This sentence is very incisive. Life is like this most of the time, but the most indispensable thing in life is accidents. In unruly queues, jumping in the queue is also the norm.

"Director Li, what can you do for me?"

Following Director Li out of the practice room, and following his steps, Xu Lai, who didn't know the destination, was very puzzled and... very nervous.

Like his trainee friends, he also thinks that there is something wrong with him or there are other arrangements for him (he was forced to go to the creation class when he was learning dance systematically).

"Don't worry, it's a good thing." Chief Li obviously knew what Xu Lai was thinking. He turned around and smiled at Xu Lai behind him. His smile was soft, not at all like the usual serious Mr. Li. "Besides, it's not me who's looking for you, it's President Jin who's looking for you."

"Oh……"

Xu Lai responded softly, and for a while, he had a lot of reveries in his heart. He even began to guess that he might be arranged to make a debut...

But this kind of thought was suppressed in an instant, and his practice time was only six months, and the trainees who practiced dance with him started in a year at least.Although he has not weak creative ability and vocal level, but being an idol is not that simple. He has to be able to sing and dance, especially singing and dancing. His current dancing level is not enough to reach the level of his debut.

Everyone said that he has talent and potential, but it takes time to realize his talent and potential, not to mention the most time-consuming dance.

"Come in. It's a good thing. Don't be nervous. Although you are usually nervous when facing the president, you should try your best to overcome it."

Mr. Li's tone was gentle, he turned around and patted Xu Lai on the shoulder, and then moved to give him the way.

"Go in! Don't make the club wait too long."

"Ok."

Xu Lai bowed halfway to Mr. Xu, and stepped into the office through the open door. The door was gently closed by Mr. Xu outside.

"Hi, President..." Xu Lai bowed nervously to Jin Yingmin who was not far away, with his hands behind his back, waiting for instructions from Jin Yingmin who was working.

"Xu Lai, right? Don't stand there, sit in front of me."

Xu Lai, who was so close to him for the first time, was a little flattered by Jin Yingmin's attitude. People in high positions rarely showed such a kind side, at least it was the first time he saw it.

"President, Mr. Li said that you are looking for me... Is there something you are looking for?"

Xu Lai asked anxiously.

"It's true." Jin Yingmin smiled, "Have you been practicing for six months? I read the report and found that your dance skills have improved rapidly. I believe you can do better if you give you some more time, but... you Now apart from dancing, you also need to strengthen yourself to the level of rap, and you can’t let rap hold you back.”

"This... is my future direction to be able to sing, dance, and rap?" Xu Lai was pleasantly surprised by the boss's attention for future development, but pressure also came with it.

"You can understand that, but the enhancement of Rap ability is the most important thing in these two months."

Jin Yingmin cleared his throat lightly towards Xu Lai, as if he wanted to announce something very important.

"You have to get ready to debut."
