Korean Entertainment: Perfect Cheating Life
Chapter 5 Want to make money
No one in SM company has an assistant or a nanny, even Lee Soo-man doesn't have a bodyguard by his side at all times.
Out of curiosity, Kim So-min tried to get the nanny to leave the company for a day.
She practiced singing in the morning and dancing in the afternoon. There was no nanny to take care of Kim So Min and help her pay attention to the time. She was very hungry after she exhausted her energy.
However, Kim So-min made an appointment to meet the nanny at five o'clock in the afternoon. Due to her strong sense of face, she did not want to give up her "ordinary person" life just like that.
Her stomach was growling, a feeling she had never experienced before.
Kim So Min walked out of the practice room hungry. The little princess had never suffered such humiliation in her life, and her eyes were a little red for a moment.
The trainees' practice room takes up an entire floor.
Park Jung-soo, who had just finished practice, happened to walk past Kim So-min's practice room and saw her at the door at a glance.
He knew that this kid was rich, a kid who had just arrived at the company and could occupy a large and luxurious practice room all by himself.
Park Jung-soo is not a person who likes flattery, nor does he want to use the child to gain benefits.
But the little girl squatting at the door was completely different from the radiant little princess he had seen before.
The neatly tied double ponytails became loose due to dancing in the afternoon, and the high ponytail turned into a low ponytail with one up and one down.
She looked depressed at the door and seemed about to cry.
As an adult with normal values, Park Jung-soo has no resistance to such cute children, and it is impossible for him to see a child sad.
He sighed, walked over a little awkwardly, and squatted down at a safe distance.
Park Jung-soo asked her carefully, lowering his voice: "Um, is that So-min? What happened?"
They had met once and Kim So-min remembered him.
Before she could answer, her stomach growled.
The girl's eye sockets were still red, and those eyes matched her appearance in an extremely adorable way.
When she heard the sound of her stomach, her ears turned red with embarrassment, and the blush was particularly obvious against her cold white skin.
The feeling of hunger is uncomfortable, and Park Jung-soo immediately understood what was going on.
Thinking of his poor wallet, he hesitated for a while, but in the end he couldn't bear to let the child starve.
He stretched out his hand and said to her, "Brother is hungry, can you accompany brother to the convenience store?"
"Yes." Kim So Min nodded obediently, feeling shy because of her rumbling stomach.
She understood what Park Jung-soo meant and said quietly, "Thank you, brother."
There were only 8,000 won in Park Jung-soo's empty wallet, and he didn't even have time to eat dinner. The 8,000 won was enough for his meals and transportation expenses for several weeks.
For him, it is common to have no money for food, and it is also common to practice until midnight and miss the last bus.
He sighed again and took Kim So-min to a convenience store near the company.
Seeing the little princess with "I am delicate" written all over her head and toes, Park Jung-soo didn't dare to buy her cheap rice balls
Many of the cheap rice balls sold in convenience stores are expired.
Park Jung-soo chose the more expensive bento, which cost him 4,000 yuan.
He had run out of money for dinner these few days, so it looked like he would have to take money from Yunho's bucket piggy bank again.
The dormitory where the male trainees live is not big.
Park Jung-soo and other trainee brothers, plus the five members of TVXQ who had just debuted and their managers, more than 20 people lived in a small house of 30 square meters.
Most of the money in the public piggy bank was deposited by TVXQ's Yunho.
He sent a message to Yunho, telling him that he would take some money from the bucket piggy bank.
——Miyane, Yunho.
No matter what, we can't let such a little sister go hungry.
Yunho especially likes children, and Park Jung-soo believes that Yunho will understand him.

Kim So-min was particularly happy after entering the convenience store. She looked at the facilities of the convenience store with curiosity with her round eyes. The dazzling array of goods made her feel incredible.
She had only seen this kind of place on TV dramas, and for a moment her rosy little mouth opened slightly.
Park Jung-soo bought the lunch box and turned around to hand it to her.
Kim So-min was even happier when she received her brother's lunch box: "Thank you, brother."
She was hungry at this time, and Park Jung-soo must be hungry too since he just came out of the company.
However, she had no money.
Under Park Jung-soo's puzzled eyes, Kim So-min ran to the convenience store clerk and asked them in a coquettish manner for an extra set of tableware.
The blush on the girl's face had not yet faded and the corners of her eyes were still red, looking pitiful.
The store clerk knew that Park Jung-soo was a trainee at a nearby company and also knew about his poverty.
Seeing that Kim So-min looked pitiful and cute, she was kind enough not to accept the money for the lunch box.
"Thank you sister."
Kim So Min didn't know that the box cost money. She happily held the box and smiled at her sister.
She has a fairy-like figure, but her smile is as sweet as candy, which is in stark contrast to her cold temperament.
It was so cute that the clerk immediately covered his mouth to hide his exclamation.
When the two of them walked back to the company's practice room, Kim So Min opened her lunch box and took out a small portion for herself, placed it in front of herself, and gave the rest to Park Jung Soo.
"Brother, let's eat together."
Park Jung-soo was stunned for a moment: "Ah... no need."
Kim So-min said seriously, "I just need a little bit, thank you for the dinner, brother."
Park Jung-soo looked at her and suddenly laughed out loud, "Aiyigu - thank you."
The bento tasted pretty average, with a layer of rice at the bottom of the box and only a little bit of food on top.
The side dish was spicy cabbage, and the main dish was sweet and salty.
It was the first time for Kim So Min to eat something so disgusting, and also the first time to eat so many carbohydrates that could only fill her stomach.
Before today, she never ate just to fill her stomach.
She ate the lunch boxes bite by bite with difficulty. After finishing, she felt that she had done something remarkable.
After returning home that night, she unexpectedly had a stomachache.
However, these are not big problems.
Kim So-min is happy about her growth.
------
Kim So Min had a time at SM Entertainment that was like Alice in Wonderland.
There are countless people coming and going in SM company every day. The society of ordinary people has allowed Kim So-min to see another side of the world. She is full of curiosity about this world full of unknowns.
She began to feel that the people and life in this company were very interesting.
She quickly became familiar with trainees such as Park Jung-soo, and learned how to dress and comb her hair by herself, and learned many unfamiliar words.
"Dream", "Monthly Salary", "Rent", "Instant Coffee"...
These words are not available to her at home or at school.
Kim So-min has no dreams; that's what her father taught her.
Her background meant that she only needed to complete her father's plans step by step, which was enough for her to become a winner in life in everyone's eyes.
Dreams are something that probably only ordinary people have.
Dreams are like test questions that ordinary people study for, and they are meaningless to Kim So-min.
The dreams that ordinary people work hard to achieve are ultimately nothing more than being hired by her and working for her.
Kim So-min's family only taught her how to develop her own interests and how to enjoy life.
At school, she is developing the abilities to enter a world-renowned university. She can socialize with friends and use her free time to develop various skills and earn more certificates and medals.
Her move to join the entertainment company was no secret in the social circle. During the day at school, her classmates would curiously ask her about her living conditions.
She enthusiastically told them about the new things she had come into contact with, from daily training to the new knowledge she had learned, and then to the company's trainee brothers and sisters.
The shouts of the little friends rose one after another, and their eyes were filled with disbelief.
"What a pitiful ordinary people—"
They said so.
"Not pathetic."
Kim So-min thought that when the trainee brothers and sisters talked about their dreams, they seemed to be glowing.
They had a fresh vitality that she couldn't describe, and they were particularly beautiful.
She loves it.
----
After staying in the company for a few months, Kim So Min has basically become familiar with all the company's resident trainees.
SM company encourages her to believe in education.
As she is the youngest and has no competition with others, she has become the most favored member of the entire company.
The company’s trainees can receive a basic salary.
At the end of this month, Kim So-min received a subsidy from SM company, which was only 300 won (about R).
The subsidy figures are pitifully small.
Trainees like Park Jung-soo, Kim Seok-cheol, and Kim Tae-yeon all received this price. Many trainees have to practice during the day and go out to work at night to afford their living expenses.
Kim So-min doesn't understand the sadness of the world of the poor, and she is happy with the little salary she earns.
This is the money she earned!
She proudly took the subsidy back to show it to Kim Min-soo and Bae Xin, and finally kept the money in a box.
but……
Just like her friends said, it is indeed pitiful that her brothers and sisters only get such a small monthly salary.
Any of Kim So-min's hairpins are custom-made luxury items that cost hundreds of thousands of won, and the caviar she accompanies her daily dinner also starts at hundreds of thousands of won.
So, she asked Kim Min-soo hesitantly if he could give the trainees a raise.
Kim Min-soo found her daughter's worries funny and told her the reality: "My little princess, you have no money."
The little girl sighed: "Ah..."
SM company's financial report is still in the red.
Kakao was just starting out and was in a money-consuming state with no income. Kim Min-soo paid the initial capital for Kakao on her behalf, and Kim So-min paid a low interest rate.
Her meager monthly salary as a trainee could not even cover one ten-thousandth of the daily interest.
Kim So-min was a little worried. She never thought money would be so important.
She sighed for several days in the trainees' training room, and received warm hugs and comfort from a group of handsome men and beautiful women.
A bunch of adult and underage trainees surrounded her like parents, coaxing the youngest sister.
“Somin, what’s wrong?”
"Sister will sing for you, don't be unhappy."
"Don't be sad! Please have some yogurt."
The trainees are limited in the amount of yogurt they can have every day, so they really dote on her.
Thinking about her brothers and sisters in the practice room, Kim So-min looked at the huge debts listed by Kim Min-soo for her and felt that she still had to work harder.
——You need to make more money, Kim So Min!
——Director Li Xiuman is unreliable and can’t even pay their salaries. The salaries of her brothers and sisters have to rely on her!
"I want to make money, Dad."
She said seriously: "I can sing, dance, play the piano, and act. Sister Zhenli has made money by acting, so I can do it too."
"...Okay, if you want."
It is impossible to make money as soon as you debut, and Kim Min-soo certainly knows this.
He teased the child by saying that she owed money, but in his heart he did not take the investment of this little money for his daughter seriously.
In the Korean entertainment industry, actors from Chungmuro are at the top of the pyramid. Kim Min-soo immediately spread the word and looked for movies with child actors as the main cast.
Under the name of the famous four-star chaebol, a large number of movie and TV drama scripts flew to him like snowflakes, and well-known and unknown directors came forward to recommend themselves.
Despite the reluctance of her schoolmates, Kim So-min resolutely turned down her plans for traveling during this year's winter and summer vacations, and frantically worked on gaining skill points every day in preparation for making money.
She flipped through a pile of scripts and chose two from among them: "Mother" and "Miracle in Room 7".
Kim So-min fell in love with these two scripts at first sight because the stories were very touching.
"Mother" is a movie from an island country. It is the work of a well-known writer from the island country. It was transferred to the island country through Kim Min-soo's connections in the island country and is expected to start shooting in the fall and winter of this year.
Because the funding for "Miracle in Cell No. 7" is not yet determined and there are no other leading actors, it will start filming next year. The time difference is just right with "Mother".
