deep in the sky

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the end of May, the final evaluation day for debut selection.

The six got up early in the morning, encouraged each other and went to the usual practice room, waiting for the final judgment of fate.

After the phrase "Jang Hyun-sung, eliminated" came out from President Yang's mouth, Lee Seung-hyun gently closed his eyes.As he expected, Zhang Xiansheng was judged to be eliminated in this life, but this time it was more cruel - the opponent did not get a chance to fight again like in the previous life, but was directly eliminated.

Li Seung-hyun looked at Zhang Xiansheng's buried head and the tears sliding down his cheeks, and was a little dazed for a moment, and his thoughts could not help but drift to the scene when he was eliminated in the previous life.

At that time, he was only 15 years old, and his family was in decline. He came to the metropolis of Seoul from his hometown of Gwangju alone, and he wanted to use his ability to change the fate of his family.It can only be said that there is often a huge gap between the ideal and the reality. At that time, the sentence "Lee Seung-hyun, unqualified" that President Yang said was like a red-hot iron deeply imprinted in the depths of his soul, making him He was in pain, like falling into an abyss.

Of course, his pain was only for a moment, he didn't have the time to indulge in the pain of failure, and his pride would not allow him to shed the cheap tears of the loser, so soon his brain was running crazily again, thinking about what to do next The countless possibilities are to persuade President Yang to give him another chance?Or find another company to practice with?Think about it, think about it again, there must be a way.

Afterwards, both he and Zhang Xiansheng got the last selection opportunity given by President Yang, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, he has not completely failed, and he can gather strength to fight hard.

Although there is not much time left for him, the pride deep in his bones prevents him from taking easy actions to please or subdue others. He is used to overcoming difficulties alone.Therefore, during that one-week preparation time, he did not ask Quan Zhilong to tutor him like Zhang Xiansheng did, but chose to think alone about the conditions he needed to pass the selection.

For the final chance to debut, Lee Seung-hyun has made a lot of preparations. He has thought through almost all the factors that may allow him to pass the selection. The reason why the "five teams can't live without me" is also after his speculation on President Yang's mind, and Combining various factors such as Bigbang's future positioning and development direction: first, his identity as the youngest; second, his strong choreography ability; third, his super self-confidence that he will not shrink back wherever he goes Sense; fourth is Concept; fifth is no reason.

That’s right, when he was still young, he stood in front of YG President Yang who could decide his fate and said, there is no reason, he would definitely be wrong to choose him.

He considered what President Yang could consider what the team lacked, and he even deliberately wore a Hip-pop outfit that day—but in fact, he obviously sang a ballad that day, and he did it because he probably guessed It's all about President Yang's positioning of the team formed this time.

Fortunately, his thoughts were not in vain, he successfully passed the second selection and became a member of Bigbang.

Those days when I missed the home bus and slept in the cold waiting hall; those embarrassments of wandering in front of the breakfast booth countless times; those sweat and tears that soaked my clothes and cheeks... all had meaning at that moment.

Soon, Lee Seung-hyun pulled his thoughts away from the long and old memories.

President Yang has already left the practice room, Quan Zhilong is hugging Zhang Xiansheng who is crying, and wiping the tears falling from his eyes from time to time, Cui Shengxuan, Jiang Dalou and Dong Yongpei are also comforting.

Li Seung-hyun thought about his awkward relationship with Zhang Xiansheng, stepped forward to comfort him patiently, and then turned and left the oppressive practice room.

Walking through the long corridor, Lee Seung-hyun looked at the tall plane trees on both sides of the street through the bright glass windows. The breeze was blowing slowly, and the green plane trees made a soft rustling sound.

Li Seung-hyun closed his eyes lightly, letting the orange sunlight slide across his cheeks and sprinkle to the surrounding ground, only a misty red and yellow was caught through his thin eyelids.

——It is the summer solstice.

Jang Hyun Sung was sent away, and the final candidates for debut were Choi Seung Hyun, Kwon Ji Yong, Dong Young Bae, Kang Da Dao and Lee Seung Hyun.

Just like in the previous life, President Yang, YG teachers and a group of staff members secretly prepared a surprise party to celebrate the formation of YG’s newest boy group. Of course, the team’s name is still "Bigbang", which means the big bang of the universe. It is not difficult to see President Yang's ambition from the name.

Quan Zhilong still shed tears at the celebration party, and all five of them got necklaces representing their respective meanings:

Quan Zhilong's necklace is composed of stars and the pattern of the hat he likes to wear on weekdays, which means that he will become a star in the music scene in the future.

Dong Yong Pei's necklace is a crown pattern, which contains the meaning that he will become the supreme singer in the future.

Choi Seung-hyun's necklace is in the shape of a loudspeaker, indicating that they are working hard to let more people hear their music.

Ginger's loud necklace is the style of a globe wearing headphones, which means to let the world hear their singing.

And Lee Seung Hyun's necklace is a flag on the planet, different from the previous life, the word "VI" is engraved on the top of the flag, which contains the meaning of setting up a flag of victory in the music industry.

A week later, the five people were called to President Yang's office again.

"I called you here this time, besides the question about the debut song, there is one more important matter." Yang Xianshuo sniffed, and said unhurriedly, "Do you know what it is?"

The five shook their heads.

"I, I thought about it and thought about it..." Yang Hyun-suk paused, and pouted the bridge of his nose again, "It's already the middle of June, and you are expected to debut on the YG family's 8th anniversary tour in August, which means there are still A month and a half of preparation time..."

Lee Seung-hyun sighed deeply in his heart. Sure enough, Mr. Yang's "short-tongued disease" has always existed. It was always like this in every conversation with him in the past. He talked for a long time and couldn't get to the point. Then he became anxious, wishing to stretch out the other party's tongue before speaking.

"The part of the song is almost planned, but I think..." Yang Xianshuo squinted his eyes, "If you debut, you must have a stage name, which not only has your own personality, but also allows fans to remember you more quickly .

"Zhilong used the stage name 'G-Dragon' for activities early in the morning, so there is no need to change it. As for you guys——" Yang Xianshuo said, turning his gaze to the four people standing beside him, "What do you think?"

The matter of the stage name, they had already discussed in private early in the morning. Except for Cui Shengxuan, everyone else had their own ideas, so seeing President Yang asked at this time, Lee Seung-hyun, Dong Yongbai and Jiang Dalou three Everyone reported their stage names that they had prepared a long time ago.

"Well, Yongbai's stage name is 'Sun'? Not bad, it is eye-catching and can bring warmth to people." Yang Xianshuo nodded with satisfaction, 'loud' is also good, similar to his real name, and can highlight your singing As for 'VI', it's also very good, Victory, it stands for victory, and it fits well with your nickname..."

Yang Xianshuo glanced at Cui Shengxuan, who was silent, and asked with doubts: "What? Cui Shengxuan, don't you have any ideas about your stage name?"

There was a trace of unnaturalness on Cui Shengxuan's face, and then he smiled and said, "I haven't figured it out yet." After a pause, he added, "Otherwise, President, please give me a stage name."

Brother Cui, why are you so upset?Lee Seung-hyun silently lit a candle for Choi Seung-hyun in his heart, you must know that Yang Juhua's "naming waste" is well-known throughout YG!

Yang Xianshuo frowned, as if he was lost in thought, and after a while, he suddenly said, "If you don't want to be dyed, you can call Mark."

"Mark?" Except for Lee Seung-hyun, who knew the truth, the other four showed puzzled looks. Cui Shengxuan frowned and thought for a while, and then asked with hope in his eyes: "President, does 'Mark' have any special meaning?" ? Uh, does it mean that I am the 'mark' of the entire team?"

"No." Yang Xianshuo shook his head, "I used to have a guitarist in a band I liked very much. That's the name. It sounds pretty easy to pronounce."

Cui Shengxuan, Kang Dasheng, Quan Zhilong, Dong Yongbai: "..."

Lee Seung Hyun: Pfft—hahahahahaha!

Li Shengxuan wiped his face, and then glanced at Brother Cui, who was stunned by Yang Juhua's name "talent" and had begun to doubt his life. He tried his best to suppress the upturned corners of his lips I laughed out loud to myself: "Well, President, the name 'Mark' seems a bit too common and doesn't fit Seunghyun's aura, how about the name 'TOP'?"

"T, O, P, TOP?"

"That's right." Lee Seung-hyun nodded, "'TOP' means the top from the beginning to the end. It is simple and clear. It catches people's attention and is full of deep meaning... Seung-hyun brother, what do you think?" Pull Choi Seung-hyun's sleeve.

"Huh? Oh!" Choi Seung-hyun finally came back to his senses, nodded wildly, and quickly expressed his love for the name, "Very good, I like it very much!" Lest he be given the inexplicable 'Mark' as his future stage name .

"Then it's settled." Yang Xianshuo waved his hand, "Go down and practice hard! Victory, you have to speed up your progress. You have to produce the revised five-person version of "Gone" within this week. I have to discuss other songs with Zhilong."

"Okay, President."
