<The Prosperity of Korean Entertainment> Author: xmas92

The world of Korean entertainment seen through the eyes of a growing girl

Their life is not just singing, dancing and acting to catch up with announcements

Take off the gorgeous outer packaging of the word "idol", they just need friends and people who love to play games and eat delicious food, just like the college students who live next door to you

They will encounter all kinds of setbacks just like you, and they may want to cry without scruples, but they always put on their charming smiles in front of you

It's just that their dreams brought them into the spotlight to become your worshiped gods

To quote an equation written by a great god:

Idol = Ideal is Different from Ordinary Lives = Imagination is the Destination Of Lives

They're just a bunch of kids about your age who just made dreams come true that you didn't

The product after watching "Iam" is dedicated to my beloved S.MTown and all other artists who are working hard

CP is basically fixed, no corruption, no time travel, no rebirth, little cheats, try to be as real as possible, please let me know if there are any objective errors in time, events, characters and locations

By the way, because I was passing by and saw all kinds of breaking news, what came out of the article is that my most direct sense of each artist may not necessarily be sunny. If you don’t like it, please click the fork

Knowing that there seems to be no end to the impatient tweets, the ladies walking on the road are all holding parasols without exception. This year's summer is as hot as ever, but there is always something hotter than the heat of summer.

This inconspicuous four-story building is one of the holy places for countless Hallyu fans. The SM company's headquarters is located in Apgujeong 2-dong, Gangnam District, Seoul. Now, the SM Youth BEST Selection Conference is going on every summer, which is usually coming to Speaking of the draft.Undoubtedly, the atmosphere here is warmer than the weather outside.Countless boys and girls gathered here, eager to become a shining star on the stage like the predecessors who came out of this company.

"Preparation for the 24th group of the singer department."

When her group was called, Liu Jingshu was pinching the number plate in her hand, chatting casually with her friend Li Yuxi to ease her nervousness.

"I'm going." Liu Jingshu straightened up and took a deep breath. Although her main purpose was to embolden her friends, she would inevitably be nervous when it was her turn.The two shook their fists at each other, and Liu Jingshu started walking towards a practice room that was used as an examination room.

She was the first in this group. She politely opened the door and said hello, and the five interviewees in the same group stood neatly together.The review committee member in front of her glanced at them with a serious face and expressionless, and then said: "Introduce yourself", and then lowered his head again, not knowing what he was recording.

Trying not to let herself be disturbed by the serious atmosphere at the scene, Liu Jingshu raised a smiling face, bowed deeply and watched the review committee seriously introduce themselves. "Hello, I'm Liu Jingshu, No. A121. I was born in 96. I'm 12 years old now. Please give me your advice." The self-introduction was well-regulated, without any extra sloppy parts. She has such a personality, even if this matter is not for her. One hundred percent important, she will go all out.

After the distinctive self-introductions, it was the highlight of the interview. Participants in the singer department were required to sing two songs each, and the review committee had the right to call cut at any time—whether he thought you were qualified or eliminated. "The first song I prepared is Youraisemeup, please give me your advice." After bowing politely, Liu Jingshu took a deep breath and began to sing. SM's audition has always required singing a cappella, and the song Liu Jingshu chose is well-known, but it is not too difficult for an 11-year-old child to sing well.Although she knows that the general review committee of this kind of talent show will not finish listening to a song, and most interviewees may not even be able to sing □ if they start from the beginning, Liu Jingshu still chooses to sing from the beginning, because for her, only singing □The emotion expressed in the singing is extremely incomplete.But to her surprise, she had already finished singing by the time the review committee said thank you.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible to say that she was secretly happy, not to mention that she was only an eleven-year-old child, but when she saw the still cold face of the review committee, she suddenly lost confidence.When the other two people in the same group finished singing the prepared songs, the really tense moment came. SM always announced the results of the test on the spot. cameratest (takes photos of the participants from all angles, it is said that it will be used as a facelift in the future. basis) will not brush people, and only those who are retained after the first round of interviews may pass the test.

"No. A121 stays, others can go, thank you." Liu Jingshu couldn't describe his feelings when he heard this sentence. Every second of waiting seemed as long as a century, and the ending of happy ending finally did not disappoint. "Have you prepared a Korean song?" Before she could react, she was the only participant left in the practice room. The review committee had already spoken, and her answer was "Yes, I have prepared "Be Strong, Kim Soon." More Like a conditioned reflex.

"Be Strong, Kim Soon-ah" is a consolation song dedicated to the refugees who crossed the [-]th parallel after the Korean War and the parting caused by the tragic war. At that time, it touched Busan together with "Parting Busan Station". The hearts of refugees who took refuge once aroused strong repercussions.

If Youraisemeup is considered a popular song after Westlife's interpretation, "Be Strong, Jinshun" is a pure antique song, and it is also a classic song with strong characteristics of the times.Such a song from 60 years ago was sung by an 11-year-old girl who obediently combed her ponytail and had two sweet dimples on her cheeks when she smiled. There was almost no time for him to think, Liu Jingshu had already started her singing.

"The storm is blowing, and the Xingnan Wharf is swept by strong winds. Shout out and start looking for..."

Because the main purpose of participating in this audition is to embolden her friends, Liu Jingshu actually didn’t deliberately prepare songs, she just used the songs she sang during practice—the grandmother who took care of her in South Korea was a vocal music professor before retirement , I have taught all my life, and I am unfamiliar with the place and language barrier in a foreign country. The greatest joy every day is teaching my granddaughter to sing.And Liu Jingshu, who has been growing up with her grandmother, has been influenced by her ears and eyes since she was a child. When she grew up, her family immigrated to South Korea and taught by example. Her singing skills easily left a deep impression on the review committee.As for this song, in her eyes, it is the only Korean song that she can fully perform and achieve a satisfactory performance.

Liu Jingshu was single-minded during the singing, and she didn't realize that she hadn't been interrupted until she finished singing, which of course made her feel a little excited in her heart.

"Have you ever learned vocal music before? Have you ever performed on stage?" After all the singing was over, the review committee asked.Even if all of the interrogative sentences are used, Liu Jingshu can fully feel the affirmative tone in it. The information at the time of registration does not need to fill in the past performance experience, but no matter whether her state is good or bad, the singing just now is more or less important. It can make people see some fundamentals.

"Yes, I have specially studied vocal music. In terms of performance experience, I was a member of the Shanghai Little Yingxing Art Troupe when I was a child in China." He answered the review committee's question very seriously, and Liu Jingshu clearly knew the concealment at this time It doesn't make any sense, not to mention that children from Shanghai Xiaoyingxing Art Troupe and CCTV Galaxy Youth Art Troupe, which can be said to represent China's children's art troupe, are proud of such experiences.

"China? Are you Chinese?" The review committee keenly grasped the words in her words, and then lowered their heads to search for information. Seeing that Liu Jingshu had filled in "Seoul Overseas Chinese Primary School" in the school column, he raised his head. asked.

Knowing that such a problem would definitely be encountered, Liu Jingshu sighed inwardly, and replied sternly, "I was born in China, and I immigrated to Korea in 2004." Has Li Yuxi encountered this problem? After all, compared with her Korean-born Chinese, Li Yuxi is a completely Chinese. Regardless of the reason why the review committee asked this question, this kind of xenophobic thinking is common in any country. existing.

Hearing this answer, the review committee didn't say anything. After thinking for two seconds, he said to Liu Jingshu, "You can go back. Then remember to prepare for the second test next week. You can try to sing some pop songs." The review committee There is still no change in the tone of the speech, but the tone of the speech is affirmative.

Liu Jingshu felt that she was dizzy when she walked out of the practice room, almost just mechanically took the staff handed to her, she didn't know it was
