Volume 2 2010 Chapter 368: Xuan Shengxi's Determination
Hyun Seung Hee knows that she is not pretty.
But she didn't care.
Because apart from not being pretty enough, she has almost no shortcomings.
This girl, born on January 25, 1996 in Chuncheon City, Gangwon Province, has been smart, lively and cheerful since childhood.
She has good academic performance in school, is good at singing, dancing, and drawing, and is multi-talented, earning her the title of a genius girl .
Seung Hee has dreamed of becoming a singer since he was a child.
Although he has not received any formal singing training and only learned basic vocal exercises in elementary school, Seunghee is a child with singing talent.
In 2007, she participated in Kang Ho-dong's show "Amazing Competition Starking" and earned the nickname "11-year-old Boa" for her excellent singing skills.
The following year, she participated in the KBS "National Singing Contest" and won the Excellence Award.
Hyun Seung-hee, who achieved fame at a young age, became more determined to pursue his dream of becoming a singer.
In 2010, when she was in the third grade of junior high school, the girl participated in the talent show "SUPER STAR K2".
Initially she wanted to join the dance group, but after the audition she was deemed not good enough as a dancer, so she ended up joining the singing group.
As a result, Seunghee stood out among the contestants who had received professional singing training, successfully entered the Top 11 and advanced to the finals.
Although she stopped there in the end, the girl did not lose heart. She believed that she had the ability and talent, and it was only a matter of time before she made her debut as a singer.
After all, she has defeated so many people who have trained for years without any professional training. If she has the opportunity to receive professional guidance, she will definitely achieve something.
Hyun Seung Hee is very confident in himself.
However, the reality is cruel.
In the three years after the show ended in 2010, no agency contacted her.
Feeling something was wrong, Seung-hee begins to actively participate in the company's selection.
But.
Until the girl graduated from the Music Department of Korea National University of Arts.
She also didn't get the debut opportunity she had originally expected.
even.
No company was willing to recruit her as a contract trainee...
The girl who had failed in too many selections finally felt firsthand how much people cared about appearance.
Is it true that you can’t be a singer if you ’re not good-looking ?
For the first time in his life, Hyun Seung-hee began to doubt himself and started to care about his appearance, which he had not cared about before.
She was a little shaken.
Just when the girl was worried that her dream of becoming a singer would end here.
An uncle named Li Yuanmin took the initiative to find her.
He said he was the president of WM Entertainment and planned to launch his first girl group.
I have always known that she wanted to be a singer since she was a child and she has suffered a lot. I will definitely help Shengxi's dream come true.
Although he was skeptical, Xuan Shengxi, who had no other choice, decided to give it one more try.
This time, she met the man who changed her life.
…
…
"My name is Yi Haoyan, I'm from China. I'm the director of WM Entertainment.
It was me who suggested that President Li Yuanmin go to you."
The man in front of him had no smile on his face and looked a little indifferent.
But Hyun Seung Hee wasn't afraid at all.
because.
This director is too young.
He looks like a young man in his early 20s, and his dress is no different from that of an ordinary college student.
Compared with President Li who was dressed in a suit and tie next to him, the young director named Yi Haoyan looked like an ordinary agent's assistant.
Yes, an assistant.
Even his agent dresses more formally than him.
The next test is also very simple.
A song, a dance, and then a short impromptu variety show plot.
Seung-hee felt that she had performed well, and she saw President Lee nodding frequently.
The young director named Yi Haoyan said nothing and his expression did not even change.
Although Uncle Li is the president, Shengxi feels that it is this beautiful young director who can truly decide his fate.
Yes, beautiful.
Not handsome or anything.
This director, who was dressed like an assistant, had delicate features, especially beautiful eyes.
Hyun Seung-hee was filled with jealousy.
If I had your looks, I would have debuted in SM a long time ago...
The girl secretly resented.
"Why do you think you haven't been able to debut yet?"
The man in front of him finally spoke again, but his first sentence touched Hyun Seung-hee's sore spot.
What else could be the reason?
It doesn’t look good !
Can't you see?
It's so ungraceful to ask this kind of question in front of a girl!
So angry!
But still smile!
Xuan Shengxi complained silently in his heart.
On the surface, he still forced a smile and answered honestly: "Maybe, it's because I'm not strong enough!"
"What aspects are lacking in strength?"
"Um... dance?"
"No! Because your appearance doesn't meet the minimum standard to be an idol."
The man's words came coldly to his face, as sharp as a knife.
you!
The good-tempered Hyun Seung-hee almost lost his temper in an instant.
But when she thought that this was a rare debut opportunity for her in all these years, the girl had to grit her teeth and endure it.
If I didn’t have good teeth, my molars would have been broken just now…
Don't be angry, don't be angry, you will be even less beautiful if you are angry...
Seung Hee tried desperately to divert his attention.
"I have a condition here. If you agree, we will sign a trainee contract first. There will be no problem if we practice together for a while, and then we can prepare for our debut."
The man seemed completely unaware of how hurtful his words were as he handed her a trainee contract with the parts that required her attention circled in red.
"I suggest you discuss this with your parents as well. After all, this is a very important decision in your life."
Xuan Shengxi took the contract handed over by the sharp-tongued director, and was stunned before he read a few lines...
No plastic surgery allowed?
Neither the trainees themselves nor the company are allowed to ask Ms. Hyun Seung Hee to have plastic surgery.
????
The girl's clever brain couldn't figure it out.
You just said you are not good-looking!
Now they say plastic surgery is not allowed, and the company cannot ask me to do it, even if I volunteer!
What kind of logic is this???
Hyun Seung-hee looked up at Yi Hao-yeon at a loss, her pair of bright little single-lidded eyes blinking non-stop, which combined with her slightly chubby cheeks made her look very funny.
"Haha! Do you find it weird?"
Yi Haoyan saw the girl's expression and smiled.
Oh oh oh!!
It turns out that you, a sharp-tongued man, can laugh~
Hmm~
When she smiles... she looks pretty...
ah!
Bah! Bah! Bah!
Hyun Seung Hee!
Can you be a little more promising?
"What you just said is that you don't meet the minimum appearance standard to be an idol is a traditional concept in the industry."
The man stood up with a nice smile on his face.
"That's not my Yi Haoyan's standard."
He walked over to Hyun Seung Hee and pulled her in front of the mirror.
In the mirror.
A petite girl about 160cm tall stood there a bit dazed, with her traditional small single eyelids and round face, she looked like any ordinary female student in the school.
A handsome man stood behind her, holding her shoulders and smiling sweetly.
“I think you’re cute, Seunghee, and you’re incredibly talented.
Idols are not just about looks.
But not everyone sees it that way.
If I let you debut, there will definitely be a lot of people questioning your appearance, saying that you are ugly and not worthy of being an idol.
They would also say that I was crazy, had no vision, and couldn’t find the right person to debut.”
There was a strong hint of temptation in the words of this venomous man.
“But I don’t think I made a mistake.
You, Hyun Seung Hee, are a talented person who has the potential to become an idol singer.
Do you remember the doubts and prejudices you encountered in the past?
Remember how it felt to be rejected?
Your dream is your own. Don't let your life and dreams be ruined by such boring prejudices.
Now there is an opportunity.
Do you want to join me and slap those prejudiced guys in the face?
It must be a very cool thing, right?
How about it?
Are you ready?
That moment.
Hyun Seung-hee made the decision.
I have to make my debut here no matter what.
For no other reason.
Just to prove my point.
