Korean Entertainment: Perfect Cheating Life

Before Jin Zhaomin could think for long, the elevator descended from the upper floor to the first floor, and a person she was very familiar with walked out of the elevator.

He uttered an "ah".

Jin Zhaomin was very happy: "Brother Xiche! Congratulations on your discharge from the army."

This person is none other than SJ member, Kim Seok-cheol, the famous universal star on the peninsula.

He had just been discharged from the army not long ago, and even the most rustic crew cut could not hide his handsome face.

Jin Xiche pretended to be angry with a straight face: "Hey my god - look who this is? He must have forgotten all the brothers and sisters in the company because he was playing outside."

"What are you talking about, brother!"

Kim So-min pointed at her cheeks in a pitiful manner. Her tight and clear jawline was obviously the result of long-term exercise and dieting.

"I just got back from a ballet tour, brother, and I'm dying of exhaustion."

He was a witness to Kim So Min's growth since childhood and was very aware of how competitive she was.

Kim So-min actively learns the self-discipline of her idol Anna, planning her every day in an orderly manner and scheduling the classes she needs to take almost to the minute.

Kim So-min is the most self-disciplined person Kim Xicheol has ever met.

Her ability to perform non-stop has shocked the entire company. Now the company's vocal and dance teachers always use her as an example to encourage trainees to practice.

He asked with some worry: "Is it really okay to continue like this?"

As the years passed, Jin Xiche lost the sharpness of his youth and became more gentle, truly becoming a typical person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

"Woo woo." Jin Zhaomin took the opportunity to seek benefits: "I'm about to faint. I can only get better if Xiche treats me to Korean beef."

Jin Xiche laughed heartily: "Okay, okay, I'll treat you. Call Zhen Li tonight and we'll go eat Korean beef!"

Kim So-min raised her hands and cheered, "Great! Sarangheyo Kim Seok-cheol, milky-skinned Kim Seok-cheol, the universe's superstar Kim Seok-cheol!"

The two who had reunited after a long separation chatted for a while at the elevator door. Jin Xiche received a call. After checking his work email, he made an apologetic gesture to Jin Zhaomin and said, "Brother, I'm going to work first. See you in the evening."

Jin Zhaomin hummed, "Come on, Xiche!"

After watching the brother leave, Kim So-min walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the floor where his own practice room was located.

There is a large practice room in SM company that is the most luxuriously decorated and best equipped. It was designed and renovated by Kim So-min herself and belongs to her alone.

Teacher Yu Yongzhen is not in the company today, so Kim So-min can only go to the practice room to kill time.

The promotional song NO.1 played by BoA in the elevator has now been replaced by the new song "CALL ME BABY" by SM's new boy band EXO.

Time flies by so fast...

Fortunately, all the people they first met are doing well and are still in the company.

Having money and a future to talk about can avoid hurting feelings and be more likely to keep people.

This is evidenced by the fact that Dongshen, SJ and Girls' Generation have been steadily renewing their contracts in recent years.

After receiving benefits, Teacher Li Xiuman paid more attention to the artists, and the entire company was no longer as harsh as it was at the beginning.

The five brothers of TVXQ are all about to enter retirement and are now developing their own careers. When they are not releasing a group album, the five of them are almost living their own lives and will not come to the company;

Girls' Generation's sisters just released "Party" and are either promoting the song or recording variety shows;

SJ's brothers are preparing to release their 10th anniversary special album "Devil". These blue guys are currently regulars on variety shows;

EXO, which was launched after SJ, has become extremely popular. After the termination of the contract of the members of the group last year, it has been severely damaged, but it still maintains its top position in the Korean music industry and is currently on tour.

The training group SHINee released its fourth regular album "Odd", and all members are recording variety shows outside;

f(x) has released their Japanese album, and the response has been pretty good. They are preparing for their first solo concert. Jinri sent a message to Kim So-min saying that several members of their group are excited to practice in the practice room every day, and today they are rehearsing at the concert site non-stop;

Kim So Min carefully recalled the schedules of all the artists under her company, and then thought of the Red Velvet group. Her expression couldn't help but reveal a hint of complexity.

The worst performer in the entire company is RV Red Velvet, who debuted in 14. Their comeback song "be natural" a few days ago did not make any splash, and the music source dropped out of the charts at lightning speed.

In fact, Kim So-min is very familiar with several of Red Velvet's sisters, especially Red Velvet's captain Bae Joo-hyun and Kang Seul-gi, who have been in the company for many years.

Seulgi is still a reserve member of f(x) and is just one step away from joining f(x) and debuting.

Kim So-min thinks they are outstanding in both ability and appearance.

However, Red Velvet was somewhat unlucky as three members of EXO happened to quit the group one after another, making the four sisters the victims who were pushed to the front to divert public attention.

Because of the time of their debut, many people spread rumors that Red Velvet debuted by stepping on the previous group.

Since her debut, Red Velvet has always been at the center of public opinion.

Not only did they suffer crazy attacks from fans of other senior groups in the company, but they were also maliciously slandered by many fan groups of SM's opposing companies, and the Internet was filled with abuse against them.

Since their debut, Red Velvet is probably the only group that has more haters than fans and more dislikes than likes on their music.

Faced with the ridicule from a large group of black fans, Bae Joo-hyun and others could only endure it silently.

Even Kim So-min felt sad for the sisters because of the harsh comments on the Internet. She asked the company to collect relevant information and file a lawsuit many times, but unfortunately with little success.

The elevator arrived at the designated floor and a pleasant reminder sounded, waking up Kim So-min who was immersed in memories.

Alas - it is said that the company is about to launch a new boy group NCT, and I don’t know what will happen.

I won’t let her lose money again!

She just paid off her father's debt!

Kim So-min was alert.

---

Kim So-min's practice room has excellent soundproofing, and she cannot hear any movement inside when standing outside the door.

When she was absentmindedly thinking about business, she pushed open the door of the practice room, and heard the classic songs of her seniors from TVXQ, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

She took a step back and looked at the number on the practice room to confirm the room. It was indeed her practice room.

Although this is her exclusive practice room, Kim So Min is busy working outside for a long time, so she agreed to the company to open the practice room to other artists in need.

The children who can use her practice room should be the promising talents that the teachers are optimistic about.

The sound of Kim So-min opening the door was so quiet that it did not disturb the five boys practicing in the room.

The boys looked relatively young, and what was rare was that they danced TVXQ's dance very well.

The group dance is neat, the movements are clean, and the strength and structure are somewhat similar to those of TVXQ.

Knew it……

There is no shortage of talented and hardworking people in this world.

After the music stopped, the boys relaxed and started playing. They huddled together and spun around in circles. When they turned around, they saw Kim So-min standing at the door.

The exquisitely dressed girl is extremely beautiful. Although she looks young, her strong aura and cold temperament tell everyone that she is not someone to be trifled with.

Her eyes always seem to look down on the world with arrogance.

Although they are about the same age, they seem to be in a different world from these kids who are fighting and playing.

"Miyane, Senior Kim So-min!"

The little boy in the baseball cap widened his eyes slightly as he remembered something.

He reacted immediately and bowed his head to salute Kim So Min. He noticed from the corner of his eye that his brothers around him didn't react, so he raised his hand anxiously and pressed down his brothers' heads one by one.

He joined the company in 2012 and was the first among the boys to come to the company. He remembers very clearly the position of this senior in the company.

Although Kim So Min is young, her qualifications are among the best in SM company. After all, she became famous early and is a top actor with Chungmuro ​​status.

"You're Mark, right?"

Thanks to her photographic memory, Kim So-min remembered that the little boy wearing a baseball cap and fashionable clothes should be named Mark.

"We should be close friends of the same age, right? There's no need to be so polite. I'm not used to using honorifics either."

She smiled out of habit to ease the coldness on her face: "You are new trainees, right? You are amazing, you can perform the dance of TVXQ brothers so well."

"Thank you." Mark held back the honorific that was about to come out of his mouth.

Even if Kim So Min said that she was born in the same year as him, she was still a senior who joined SM Entertainment in 05 and was often mentioned by Lee Soo Man.

In front of such a senior, the young boys still couldn't let go.

Except for Mark, the other four little boys were obviously a little shy. They hid behind Mark, and were then pushed out by Mark to greet Kim So-min one by one.

The dark-skinned little boy looked very cute: "Senior Somin, I am Lee Dongha, born in 00."

As soon as he opened his mouth, his unique voice made Kim So-min define him as the lead singer that Lee Soo-man likes the most.

The boy with three-dimensional features and a cute smile like a Samoyed said in a steady voice: "Hello, senior. I am Li Di Nu, born in 00."

Then, the boy with a mushroom-shaped haircut who gave her candy as a "bribe" smiled and said, "Hello, senior. I am Luo Zaimin, born in 00."

The last child who spoke was very small and spoke in a very small voice: "Nu Nahao, I am Park Ji-sung, born in 02."

The tense expressions that the children unconsciously revealed made Kim So-min look like a bully villain.

"Hello, I was born in 99, and there is not a big age difference between us. Just be more comfortable."

Kim So Min asked, "Do you mind if I'm on the other side of the practice room?"

"Yes, of course I don't mind!"

Mark was a little panicked, because he knew that this practice room was the famous "Kim So Min's exclusive practice room" in the company.

He whispered, "I'll take the kids out right now and won't disturb you."

Jin Zhaomin waved his hand and said, "Don't bother. I can't use such a large practice room by myself."

She pushed open the door of the practice room and closed it behind her, then slowly stopped when she reached the mirror.

Then, she faced the mirror with an elegant posture and concentrated on demonstrating a variety of facial expressions - a faint smile, a hearty laugh, a cold sneer, and even a blank expression.

She kept changing her body posture, trying to look at herself from different angles to find possible shortcomings.

——This smile seems to lack sufficient friendliness, and it seems a bit sarcastic when viewed from the side.

So, Kim So-min slightly adjusted the curve of the smile at the corners of her mouth in front of the mirror until she was satisfied.

As expected of her, she is perfect from every angle!

The five trainees on the other side, however, couldn't remain as calm as she was.

The youngest, Park Ji-sung, is only 13 years old this year, and he is also the most courageous.

While performing a head-turning dance move, Park Ji-sung accidentally glanced at Kim So-min, who was constantly changing her expressions in front of the mirror, and his movement was immediately wrong.

Luo Zaimin beside him felt it strange, and when he followed his gaze he was also stunned for a moment.

Two people in the team of five performed poorly, and the other three couldn't jump down.

The children were so cautious that they didn't dare to make a sound or look over there anymore.

"Expression management is the most important aspect."

Kim So-min was keenly aware of the subtle changes in the atmosphere around her. She was generally friendly to the people around her, and she felt a little pitiful to see the children being so cautious.

She turned around and looked at them, "You guys want to debut as idols, right?"

The four children nodded without hesitation, their eyes full of firm conviction.

Luo Zaimin looked around, hesitated a little, and then nodded slightly.

"Managing facial expressions is one of the most important aspects of stage charm. People's facial expressions cannot always be perfect in front of the camera, so we need to design a set of facial expressions in advance to avoid losing control of facial expressions and being photographed in an ugly way."

Most of these children will become the company's cash cows in the future, and Kim So-min is not stingy in imparting his experience to them.

“Every side angle and every curve of the smile need to be carefully designed to get the best-looking photo.”

Then, she added: "Most of the time when facial expression management is required, having no expression or smiling is enough to handle all situations."

"I don't know about other people." Kim So-min confidently showed a designed standard smile: "In front of the camera, my expression must be perfect, and no one can take an ugly photo of me."

Her aura was fully on display, and her perfect smile made the five young trainees present understand the message she wanted to convey.
