Chapter 42 YG asked both of us if we were interested in signing!
The two who were still playing and joking around a few days ago went to the recording site of "2001 Hip-Hop Flex" together again.
The specially planned album brought together countless OGs of the Korean hip-hop scene. As the youngest among them, Kwon Ji-Yong was naturally the last to record in Korea, where seniority is the basis of rank.
The waiting time was long and difficult, but fortunately, Kwon Ji-yong was accompanied by his mother and Ye-eun.
Originally, I just wanted my mom to accompany her, but after Ye-eun terminated her contract with S/M, she had a free weekend, so the two moms decided to let Ye-eun go along as well.
The sound of Kwon Ji-yong's intense practice could be heard in her ears, and Ye-en would occasionally lower her head to write a few words on her homework book.
"Ye-eun, I'm so nervous..."
"Dafa, Dafa, did you see that? That's Jinusean?"
“Um, um! Is it…”
One name after another came out of Kwon Ji-ryong's mouth, but there were only a few people that Ye-eun knew. After all, she really doesn't know much about rap, let alone these rappers who are considered niche even in Korea today.
Yet she still chimed in from time to time, "Wow, really? Big deal!"
Quan Zhilong didn't realize something was wrong at first, but when he noticed his mom's half-smile, he turned around and saw that Ye Eun was writing the questions without even raising her head, saying "Wow, that's great!"
The excited tone and expressionless face formed a sharp contrast. Quan Zhilong narrowed his eyes and pinched Yien's cheeks, "Li Yien! Why do you love studying so much!?"
This sentence is the voice of other rappers present.
In a hip-hop recording venue, an elementary school student was sitting abruptly in the corner doing homework. All the rappers who saw it thought the scene was magical.
One pushed the other, and they looked at each other to signal their friends to go and see this magical sight.
Ye-eun, who had been the focus of everyone's attention for a long time, finally put down her homework book when Kwon Ji-yong was about to go on stage.
The recording of the album will be divided into several different scenes. This time the song was recorded in an abandoned amusement park. Kwon Ji-yong wore a white T-shirt, black shorts, a black baseball cap, and a black backpack on his back. The earring on his left ear sparkled as he walked towards the camera and rapped.
Several seniors who had already finished recording stopped in their tracks when they heard the singing behind them, which was still a little immature but had a smooth flow and clear pronunciation.
Among them, Jinusean and the other two's eyes lit up. As YG artists, they are also YG directors. When they see good talents, they want to recruit them to their own company.
The boy in the center of the crowd was singing a song he wrote himself - "My Age is Thirteen Years Old". Both the lyrics and the flow were incomparable to those of the old-timers who had been playing rap for many years, but it had the characteristics that belonged to someone his age.
"I am thirteen years old.
Too small for the world.
…
It seems a little funny that he can rap at the age of thirteen.
I pray every day (which people ignore). ”
Kwon Ji-yong noticed the gazes of others, but he was nervous before going on stage, but when facing the camera, he seemed like a different person, confident and outspoken.
“If he had imitated adults and written those lyrics in this album, no one would have paid attention to it. But this kid is quite interesting as he was able to make use of his age advantage.” Jinu smiled with squinted eyes when he saw several of his colleagues around him stop walking. Although they were all rappers releasing songs in this specially planned album, they actually didn’t bother to know who was on it.
"Is this the youngest boy? He's only thirteen years old? Wow, young people nowadays are amazing." Other rappers also cast their eyes on him, "Is this the kid who trained with People Crew? His singing style is a bit like theirs."
His partner stroked his chin and looked at the boy who was not afraid of the public gaze. Sean was in no hurry to leave and leaned against the wall behind him. Unexpectedly, he bumped into something soft and felt a strange feeling under his feet.
He paused, looked down, and saw the little girl sitting on the ground looking up at him.
"Ah, Miane Miane! Agassi didn't step on you, did he?" Sean gasped and his eyes widened. He didn't look like a good person in the first place, and now in Yeen's eyes, he looked even more like a young and dangerous guy.
Agassi, with dyed blond hair and sharp features, said sorry, but his expression looked more like "If you dare to ask me to compensate you, you're done for."
Yi Eun pulled the corners of her mouth, choosing between asking the other party to apologize and swallowing her anger. She lowered her head and raised it again, tears already glistening in her eyes, "Agassi... What should I do if the teacher scolds me for my homework?"
Jinu also looked down and saw his partner's footprints on the little girl's homework book. The black footprints on the notebook simply defile the sacred knowledge! "Ah, Sean you're taking it too far!"
He spoke in a mean way, and faced with his partner's speechless look, he shook his head and sighed, "What should we do with this child's homework now? It's all knowledge, and what if the child gets scolded by the teacher?"
Ye-eun's eyes were filled with tears as she touched her notebook, "I'll forgive you if Agassi helps me finish the last question."
The real purpose is revealed.
Sean took a look at the question and his eyes turned red. "This... I don't know how to do this."
Ye-eun glanced at him, eyes full of disbelief, "You can't even solve elementary school questions!?"
If she didn't go home and ask Uncle Jin to teach her, he would definitely assign extra questions. Why would she want him to teach her?
The unspoken words came through his eyes, and Sean's face turned red. Han Lanji finally couldn't help but speak, "Our child was just joking with you, sorry."
After hearing her aunt's words, the tears in Ye-eun's eyes disappeared immediately and she sighed, "Well, since no one knows how to do it, we can only go home and have more food."
Sean was not angry after being criticized. Instead, his eyes lit up again. Oh, this one is also a good candidate. Even though her appearance doesn't match that of YG, don't audiences nowadays like contrast?
After recording this part, Quan Zhilong came down and saw that the expressions of several people were different. He looked at each of them in confusion and bowed seriously to greet them first, "Senior Jin, Senior Sean."
The two turned around and saw the children they were talking about, their eyes full of interest. Sean even asked directly: "Are you two siblings?"
If the brother and sister form a group, or if they debut separately, but can also create topics during marketing... he has already started thinking about various possibilities in his mind.
However, Ye-eun and Kwon Ji-yong denied it again and again, "Of course not!"
Why does the whole world think they are brother and sister? One has double eyelids and the other has single eyelids. One has two dimples when she smiles and the other has parentheses when she smiles. How do they look alike? ?
"Oh, then you two have a very good relationship." Sean's eyes roamed between the two of them and he couldn't help but laugh. It was just that neighbors actually played together every day. Even siblings wouldn't do that.
If the person in front of him wasn't just a child, he would have started gossiping.
When talking about these two kids with the company's president, Sean's eyes were full of smiles, "Brother, those two are really good seedlings! When this album comes out, you can listen to that kid's song. He can write such a song at the age of thirteen. His future is limitless."
Because he was a backup dancer for Seo Taiji and the boys, and followed Yang Hyun Suk to the company after he founded it, Sean spoke to the president more casually, "As for that little girl, I came back and checked, and there is actually a website full of her information, look."
He directly opened Yang Hyun Suk's computer and searched in the browser. The page was spinning in the middle, and the web page he entered after several seconds made Yang Hyun Suk raise an eyebrow.
In the past two years, as the Internet has gradually become popular in South Korea, more and more people have access to the Internet. However, computers were still a luxury at that time. Except for groups like HOT and SES, other artists rarely had forums.
But this kid Li Yien actually has a forum site with hundreds of fans.
He slid the mouse down. There were not many posts in the forum, but there were actually posts in Chinese.
"Chinese?" He was a little confused and frowned at Sean, "Why are there Chinese people here?"
Although I couldn't understand what was written specifically, the square characters were undoubtedly Chinese.
"By the way, brother, she's Chinese!" Sean's eyes sparkled, "And you know Eland, right? This clothing brand from our country, when it opened its first store in Shanghai, China, she was the child model for the Chinese region, and until now she is still the most frequently appearing child model in the E-Land China branch."
In other words, as long as she handles it well, she will be able to make a living in both Korea and China. "And brother, our company should have a good-looking trainee!"
Yang Hyun Suk paused, and said, no one would not want to get a piece of the pie in China's huge market. But compared to S/M, who openly told everyone "We really value the Chinese market", he is more subtle.
He can't do something like S/M directly recruiting Chinese trainees in order to open up the Chinese market. Yang Hyun Suk thought, but if they were willing to come to YG, he would not refuse.
Yang Hyun Suk was already tempted, but he sat down and closed the webpage, then said slowly: "I understand, I'll think about it again."
Sean also knew how "insolent" his brother, who had been with him for seven years, was. He smiled and stopped asking questions. He put the contact information of the two children's parents on his desk and said, "Brother, here's their mother's phone number. Think about it carefully."
"Got it. Let me take a look." Yang Hyun Suk didn't even look at the phone on the table when Sean was around, but as soon as the other party closed the door, he carefully put the contact information in his drawer.
Looking at this again, I saw that it ended on the first day that the album "2001 Korea Hiphop Flex" came out.
With an excuse to contact the other party, Yang Hyun Suk called the other party immediately.
When she received the call, Han Lanji was listening to Quan Zhilong's song, her heart full of pride and worry, "Zhilong, I heard from the teacher that you have skipped classes several times recently."
Even if you know that your child will not live a regular life in the future, if he starts skipping classes in the first grade of junior high school, will he still be able to go to college in the future?
She had just said earnestly, "You can be without academic qualifications, but you cannot be without culture," when her cell phone rang.
Quan Zhilong breathed a sigh of relief and took out his phone to text Yien, "Did you call? You really saved my life...muamuamua!"
Yien looked at the message on her phone, puzzled, and before she could reply, the other party sent another text message.
"Okay, it's not you. I heard a man's voice. What are you doing? Are you doing your homework again? Ahhh, the teacher actually complained to my mom, wuwuwu..."
Ever since Kwon Ji-yong got a cell phone, he’s become more talkative both in real life and online, and in order to save money he always sends long messages at a time.
Ye-eun didn't even bother to read the long essay, and scrolled straight to the end, ignoring the long string of nonsense in the middle, "Ah! YG asked if we were interested in signing a contract!!!"
