Chapter 2 (Revised) Today is born in love...
The search bar quickly showed results for "G-Dragon" and "Kwon Ji-yong".
As Han Shangxi poked and tapped, he became so engrossed that he forgot about time.
Aigoo, he was indeed a very impressive senior.
Shangxi felt a bit sore in her neck and wanted to move her joints, but then she realized that it was already broad daylight.
Turning to look at the still-lit computer screen, Shang Xi felt a little guilty.
Cough cough, this was the first time she had stayed up all night for entertainment.
Fortunately, she didn't have dark circles under her eyes. Looking at herself in the mirror, who still looked normal, Shang Xi thought with relief.
After going downstairs, I saw Kim Young-ah, who was about to leave.
"Oh dear, another all-nighter."
Even though there was no difference, Han Shangxi was a little curious about how his mother could tell.
"Mom~"
"Alright, settle yourself in and remember to go to class with your teacher. I'm going to check on the flower shop today."
Kim Young-ah was confident in her daughter's ability to take care of herself, so she only mentioned it briefly before leaving.
Shang Xi skillfully made herself breakfast.
He was humming "Day by Day," a song he had discovered yesterday.
The girl's voice is clear and bright, and her singing style is very academic. However, it has a unique listening experience, and her pronunciation is sometimes different from the usual way.
Although he has been training as a trainee all these years, Shangxi has not stopped learning vocal music from his teacher.
After losing hearing in her left ear, she was able to devote more energy to vocal music.
The teacher said that losing perfect pitch might not be a bad thing for her; she can still deliver a wonderful performance by feeling the song with emotion. Moreover, the difference in pronunciation will bring a different experience to the audience.
Although Shangxi felt that her teacher's words were somewhat comforting, she believed that practicing vocals was not a bad thing, and she also enjoyed the feeling of immersing herself in the songs.
So during the summer vacation, she continued to attend classes with her teacher as usual.
When Shangxi arrived at her teacher's place today, she was surprised to see a guest.
A young woman who looks cool.
The teacher did not inquire about Shang Xi's identity, and Shang Xi did not intend to ask any further questions.
After politely greeting the two of them, Han Shangxi went to her practice room as usual, at the teacher's prompting.
Practice, receive guidance, correct the original shortcomings little by little, and get back into practice mode.
Han Sang-hee has a great talent for this.
Even now, despite being deaf in her left ear, her talent and ability are enough for her to continue pursuing a professional vocal career.
Thinking of this, Sang-hee's teacher, Lee Sun-hee, looked at Sang-hee, who was completely absorbed in her work, through the glass, and her eyes couldn't help but show a hint of regret.
I should have insisted that Shangxi specialize in vocal music from the beginning.
When Shang Xi said she wanted to become a trainee, she objected, but didn't interfere too much with Shang Xi's idea.
If she had known it would turn out like this, she would never have let Shangxi become a trainee.
Ultimately, the deafness in my left ear is the company's fault.
Lee Sun-hee knew perfectly well whether the companies that produced those trainees were creating teenage idols or engaging in completely unscientific, profit-driven evils.
The person who came to visit today had the same idea.
The identity of this representative...
Thinking about this gave Li Shanji a headache.
She had to give the person behind this position some face. He had just seized power, and it was a time when those below him were watching to see who would take the lead. No matter how high Li Shanji's status was in her circle, she couldn't afford to offend him.
Never mind, I'll wait a bit, then tell Shangxi in advance so she can reject her later.
Offending someone once won't cause any serious consequences.
Although in the past, Lee Sun-hee was the most tactful in handling these matters.
But this time, facing the child she had watched grow up, Lee Sun-hee still wanted to persevere.
"Auntie, I won't do anything to this child." Director Jiang smiled helplessly, looking at Li Shanji, who was clearly protective of her child. "Ultimately, it depends on the child's own thoughts."
"If you can't debut with SM, then debuting with YG is also a good option."
We adults should respect children's ideas.
And I think what our project is really lacking is a lead singer like this kid.
As Director Jiang finished speaking, her intentions were clear: she valued Shang Xi highly and was determined to have her today.
“Su-seon is right, it all depends on the child’s own thoughts. But this child said before that she didn’t want to be a trainee anymore.” Lee Sun-hee didn’t answer directly.
"Auntie, aren't you her teacher? You'll have to help me persuade her later."
Upon hearing this, Lee Sun-hee's face immediately turned cold.
Now she finally understood why others didn't want to associate with that person. Not only was she relentless in achieving her goals, but she also seemed completely oblivious to human speech. Years of self-restraint couldn't stop her from swearing.
But now that things have come to this point, it seems that I can no longer interfere with what happened today.
Having held this position for many years, Lee Sun-hee rarely faced situations in her life that were beyond her control. This time, even though Director Jiang brought numerous benefits and seemed extremely sincere, she could hardly ignore the feeling of being controlled.
Under Director Jiang's watchful gaze, Lee Sun-hee introduced Director Jiang to Sang-hee as she finished her vocal lessons and was about to leave.
"Sang-hee, this is Director Kang from YG."
"Hello, I am Han Shangxi, a student of Teacher Li."
Sensing the subtle atmosphere between the two, Shang Xi greeted them politely on the surface, but inwardly she was pondering the purpose of Director Jiang's visit to her.
The young talent scout that night?
But if this person could find out that he was a student of the teacher, how come he couldn't find out that he was deaf in his left ear?
Now that you know all this, you should give up on yourself.
Shang Xi felt that this didn't make sense.
Another possibility quickly surfaced in Shangxi's mind, but she quickly suppressed it.
At the suggestion of the board members, Shangxi and Director Jiang were given a private space to spend time together.
Jiang Suxian stared at the beautiful boy in front of her, whom she was very satisfied with in every way, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
In all honesty, she simply wanted to find a suitable member, not to become someone who uses power to coerce master and disciple.
When Li Chuxia contacted her last night, she happened to be having trouble sleeping, so she took the opportunity to check Han Shangxi's background. Satisfied with the results, she showed up here today.
However, Lee Sun-hee was extremely nervous, which subconsciously put her into YG's work mode. When she realized it, this is what happened.
I hope my friends won't nag me after they find out.
However, this was also so that her friend's younger sister could debut smoothly.
Thinking of her friend's exceptionally stubborn younger sister and Professor Shen's rebellious daughter who was constantly philandering, Jiang Suxian couldn't understand why the only two members in her project were both troublemakers.
After adjusting her mindset, she remains the same Director Jiang.
"Shangxi, may I call you that? Perhaps you already know why I'm here: to invite you to join my new project."
I can guarantee this new project will allow you to debut within two years.
"Director-nim, why me?"
Moreover, I remember YG just debuted a girl group this year.
The fact that she was able to meet Director Jiang through the teacher meant that his identity was legitimate, and he was definitely more than just a figure on the surface. Judging from the teacher's attitude, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to directly refuse him today, no matter what.
Upon hearing Director Jiang's words, memories of that person from his previous life immediately surfaced in his mind.
2NE1, the only girl group YG Entertainment had for a long time in my past life memories.
Oh no, there was actually another one. But when my memory ended, that girl group seemed to have just debuted, so my impression of them wasn't very deep.
However, it's true that the fans are very lively.
Since she couldn't refuse Director Jiang today, she might as well treat it as a free chat. Shang Xi thought to herself.
"I've known about you for a long time, Lee Sun-hee's youngest student. You started learning vocal music when you were four or five years old, and you were even taken out to perform by Sun-hee's aunt when you were little. You're an extremely talented child. It's a pity that we haven't heard from you since middle school. You were training at SM back then, right? After failing to debut as a rapper, you left SM. Since you couldn't debut at SM, debuting at YG was a good option."
Based on the information, Jiang Suxian felt that this kid was a perfect candidate for lead vocalist. She didn't understand why the original company insisted on a rap role.
"It seems that Director-nim knows me very well. But doesn't Director-nim know the real reason why I failed to debut? I have a problem with my ears; I have completely lost hearing in my left ear."
Sang-hee skillfully explained to Director Jiang the reasons for her failed debut. She was able to bring it up with a smile during the conversation, completely ignoring her discomfort.
To be honest, she was somewhat looking forward to his reaction.
She always felt that this person would give a different answer.
"You're a very smart kid. You should be able to guess that the real reason for your failed debut wasn't just that accident, right?"
Companies that operate their products based on idealized idols aim for a controllable existence.
Shangxi, you are not controllable. You are a child with your own ideas.
Perhaps they initially considered presenting you to the world as a pretty, personality-less, and completely dependent figurehead. But would you be willing to do that?
And in the end, after the accident, in their discussions, the risks you represented, Sang-hee, far outweighed the benefits you could bring them. Even if you fully met the debut standards, even if you practiced desperately after the accident and even became more outstanding than before, they no longer considered you.
Your eyes tell me you're still completely unwilling to accept it. Doesn't Shangxi want to debut?
"I guessed that. But as businessmen, they'll take me into consideration. Doesn't the director care about my unpredictability?"
Shang Xi smiled beautifully, just as she had demonstrated during her countless practice sessions of facial expression management.
The fingers, curled up inside the sleeves and trembling slightly, revealed the owner's unsettled state of mind.
This board member is very good at winning people's hearts, she thought.
"The fact that I'm here means that Shangxi is someone I really need."
How about Shangxi comes to YG tomorrow? I think you need to understand the details of my project. Director Lee Cho-ha will contact you later.
"Well, since Director-nim has said so, it's hard for me to refuse."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Jiang Suxian became even more interested in the child in front of her.
This is the style she really needs.
Perhaps because of that accident, this child is more suited to be an idol than the information suggests.
It wasn't that she wasn't worried about the uncontrollability of this product because it wasn't her own money. Rather, she felt that while it was uncontrollable at SM, things might be very different at YG, and within her own project. Han Sang-hee would understand once she saw it.
With things having come to this point, Li Shanji could no longer say anything more.
He was just thinking about how to make the students' path easier.
She could have stopped it, but she simply refrained from doing it herself. Thinking of this, Lee Sun-hee felt an even stronger urge to make amends to Sang-hee.
"Teacher, don't worry about me."
Shangxi hugged the teacher, whose face was clearly worried, and skillfully comforted her.
She knows her teacher is worried about her.
But some paths are hers to walk alone.
She wanted to seize this opportunity.
Looking at her usually sensible student, Li Shanji didn't know what to think, but she hugged her even tighter.
Oh dear, I've watched this child grow up since she was little. May God grant her a smooth and successful life from now on.
She can hide her true feelings when facing board members to achieve her goals, and she shows genuine care and consideration when facing teachers.
Shangxi is a very intelligent person; she is naturally good at handling these kinds of situations.
Han Shangxi hesitated as he walked home.
Although she could handle everything with ease when facing Director Jiang and the teacher, should she tell her mother about this?
Even when facing her family, Han Sang-hee still retains a childlike innocence.
Kim Young-ah had been back for a while, and she was tending to her flowers in the front yard.
"Sang-hee, there's something I want to tell you today."
"Mom, there's something I want to discuss with you."
Two voices rang out at the same time, carrying the same message.
"Mom, you go first."
Blinking, Shang Xi spoke before Jin Rongya could.
Kim Young-ah carefully considered her words before speaking, “Your father and I have a close friend, someone you should call Uncle. He used to be abroad, and now he runs an entertainment company. He’s currently recruiting trainees. I was thinking that our Sang-hee could give it a try.”
Neither Jin Rongya nor Han Cunzhi wanted to see their daughter give up her dreams.
When Shangxi was a trainee, even when she was so tired that she didn't want to talk, her eyes still shone.
During this time, they have been thinking about solutions to the problem.
This friend is a mutual friend of Kim Young-ah and Han Chun-ji, a junior they met in college. He's a very shrewd businessman who has been looking to get involved in the entertainment industry in recent years. He's always been grateful to the two of them for lending him money to support his initial ideas, so now he's happy to support their daughter, his niece, in her dreams as well.
It was hard not to notice the cautious concern in her mother's words, and Shang Xi bit her lip to suppress the heat in her eyes.
"My mom and dad are the best mom and dad in the world."
He buried his face in Kim Young-ah's arms, and Sang-hee's voice sounded muffled.
Perhaps not all parents are perfect. But Han Shangxi's parents were truly, truly good to her. They never considered things like return on investment; they always did their best to support Shangxi.
Even after staying for quite a while, Han Sang-hee said she still didn't want to leave her mother's embrace.
At this moment, she finally revealed a bit of the childishness that was appropriate for her age.
Jin Rongya looked at her daughter and felt a little relieved.
What was Shangxi trying to say?
"Today at my teacher's, I met YG's new director. She wants me to join her new project. I'm also interested in going."
Slightly loosening her embrace, Shang Xi spoke without the trepidation she had felt before entering the room. She looked up at her mother, seeking advice.
"It seems that our Shangxi is really a very capable child."
With her mother, as her daughter, she always received encouragement and praise.
Upon hearing her mother's words, Han Shangxi's eyes revealed a joy that hadn't appeared in a long time, something she hadn't noticed.
Next came the family meeting, where Han Cunzhi, who was far away overseas, offered his advice via video call.
Sang-hee finally decided to follow her heart and go to YG to take a look.
After returning to her room, Shang Xi immediately threw herself onto the bed and rolled around several times.
Oh my god, I'm so happy!
Burying her face in the plush toy and feeling its soft, fluffy texture, Shangxi radiated an irrepressible joy.
After calming down, she decided to find something to do.
How about continuing the archaeology from last night?
GD is a very likable idol.
Thinking about the information retrieved and combining it with her memories from her past life, Shang Xi found it quite amusing.
He has a magical ability to draw attention to himself, and he's also very cute.
Shangxi then decided to continue the "Amway" campaign, which her past self had called it, during her free time.
paracosmto0818, an account registered on a whim, actually saved Shangxi a lot of time at this moment.
Whether she's in a good mood or a bad mood, she can stay active. This account is also a little world that Shangxi has created for herself.
A note from the author:
----------------------
Shang Xi, a high-energy female idol whose official account is thriving and whose personal account is also booming in promoting her idol career. [Go Shang Xi!]
However, on the other hand, GD in 2009 was indeed very cute, a superstar who was barely 21 years old at the time.
At this point in the article, GD's first full-length album hadn't been released yet. Sang-hee's inner monologue: Wow, looking forward to the new song.
Lee Sun-hee, whose real name is Lee Sun-hee, is a legendary South Korean singer. Her song "Indestiny" is incredibly beautiful~ In the story, she is Sang-hee's teacher [cat paw emoji]
