Volume 2 2010 Chapter 372: Jin Minzhou's Coming of Age Ceremony (Part 2)
Kim Min-joo never thought of himself as a special child.
Born on February 5, 2001, she is the second child in the family, with an older brother and a younger sister.
Her ordinary family background and her mediocre ranking among three children made her feel that she was nothing special.
Even though she had been beautiful, intelligent and obedient since childhood, and had always been an excellent student in school, it did not change the girl's somewhat shy and unconfident personality.
An experience as a volunteer in junior high school attracted her to her current agency Urban Works, where she became a signed trainee and began her trainee career with the goal of debuting as an idol.
The experience of being selected boosted Kim Min-joo's little self-confidence.
However, with the company's repeated failed plans to debut as a girl group and her own failure in talent shows, the girl's limited self-confidence gradually disappeared.
Am I not suitable to be an idol?
With such doubts, she mustered up her last bit of courage and participated in "Produce 48" with a determination to fight to the death.
Here, she met someone special.
The first time we met was when we were shooting our personal introduction.
…
"Oh~ Trainee Kim Min-joo, we are alumni~"
The young man lowered his head to look at the documents on the table, then suddenly looked up and smiled gently, making the somewhat uneasy girl almost forget his identity as a director.
"Eh, Nei?"
Jin Minzhou didn't react.
She was too nervous.
This is the "big shot" who can decide their fate!
But...why so young?
Still... so beautiful...
The timid Min Zhou's mind was a little confused, and he could actually come up with such strange ideas at this time.
"Haha~ Seoul Performing Arts High School. I graduated from there too."
The girl's somewhat silly reaction seemed to put the young man in a good mood, and he added with a smile.
"Ahhh~ Hello, senior! I...I will behave well!"
Kim Min Joo finally reacted and bowed seriously again to make up for her mistake. Her beautiful long hair drew a black arc in the air because of the intense 90-degree bend.
It also lit up the young man's eyes.
"Haha, I look forward to your performance."
…
This special young director left a deep impression on Kim Min-joo.
Graduates of Seoul Arts High School are generally entertainers, and most of those who can reach the level of directors are well-known seniors who have been famous for a long time. It is impossible for me not to know them, right?
With such questions in mind, the girl returned to school and conducted a special investigation.
It turns out to be true!!!
Our school actually produced such an amazing person!
Straight A student!
During his time at school, he never lost his top spot in the school! He even had the legendary experience of getting full marks in all subjects!
The most terrifying thing is that he was admitted to Seoul University...
This is the first time in the history of Arts High School that someone has been admitted to Seoul National University...
It's simply legendary!
These achievements are clearly written in the school's honor column. He is truly a top student in history!
And she is very beautiful.
The kind of appearance that is completely suitable for debuting.
And according to gossip, this senior seems to have an extraordinary family background...
Wow~
A true winner in life!
Although my academic performance is very good, compared with this senior, I am just a chicken and not worth mentioning.
Oh, right!
Yi Haoyan is his name, he is from China.
This little episode brought Min-joo a little comfort in the intense talent show competition, but was soon forgotten by the girl.
The competition is too fierce.
Only 12 of the 96 selected trainees will remain.
Kim Min-joo didn't dare to relax at all.
This may be her best chance to debut, she must grab it desperately!
However, things in this world are not always rewarding if you work hard. The people here are very strong and work very hard.
This put even more pressure on Kim Min-joo, who was already lacking in confidence.
For those who want to stand on the stage, it is absolutely impossible to do so without self-confidence.
So her group lost the cover performance of "very very very" by IOI seniors.
This made the girl even more panicked.
During this difficult time, she met Yi Haoyan for the second time.
…
"Who's there?"
A loud voice came from behind, startling Min-joo who was hiding in the stairwell and crying secretly.
When the girl noticed someone coming, she quickly covered her face and stood up to salute.
As the lowest-ranking trainee in the show, she had to bow to everyone she met.
Even if I am crying.
Tears are worthless here.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”
The slightly flustered girl kept bowing and apologizing.
"Ah~ It's you~ Junior Kim Min Joo, why are you hiding here crying?"
Only then did Yi Haoyan recognize the girl's identity and saw the tear marks on her face.
"Um... I'm sorry... Senior Haoyan... I..."
Min Zhou didn't know what to say, he just bowed his head and apologized, as if he felt that he had let down his seniors.
"This is not the place to talk, come with me."
The man turned and left.
Kim Min-joo, who had finally stopped crying, hurried to catch up.
Following his footsteps, the girl entered an office.
"Tell me, what happened?"
The man handed a tissue and a glass of water to Kim Min-joo, who was curled up on the sofa looking a little reserved, and sat opposite her.
“…”
The girl was unfamiliar with the other party and the gap in status was huge, so she didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment.
"Okay, I'll ask and you can talk."
After waiting for a while and realizing that he couldn't get anything out of his questions, the man changed his approach.
“Being bullied?”
The girl shook her head.
"Were you reprimanded by the company?"
Shake your head.
"Injured?"
Still shaking his head.
"Too much pressure to bear?"
The girl paused and shook her head.
"So your grades are not good and you are worried about not being selected?"
Jin Minju nodded.
"Haha, so that's the reason. Junior Kim Minjoo! Your poor ranking is not a problem of your ability, but a problem of your mentality. You are too unconfident on stage!"
"Um~ I'm sorry~"
Minjoo lowered his head again.
"Come here."
Yi Haoyan took the girl to a mirror.
"What did you see?"
"What?"
Jin Minzhou looked at his legendary senior at a loss, having no idea what to do.
"Minjoo, aren't you very beautiful? The fact that you are ranked second in the visual center proves that this kind of beauty is recognized by everyone."
"But Yiren, who ranked first, was also eliminated..."
"Uh ~ Her situation is different from yours, so you can't compare them."
I didn't expect this girl to talk about this. Director Yi paused and quickly changed the subject.
"Why don't you dare to be the center? Didn't your captain Quan Enfei nominate you to be the center the first time? You are obviously the most beautiful person in the team, why did you give up?"
"I... don't have the confidence to do a good job as a center..."
Minjoo lowered his head out of habit.
"Keep your head up."
Yi Haoyan's voice was a little serious.
“Lack of confidence is not an excuse. Because of your retreat, Center was replaced by Cao Yan, but she is not suitable.
Teacher Pei Yunjing also suggested that you change people. In the end, we had to let Miyawaki Sakura do it. She is Japanese, so of course her rap is not good. As a result, your group completely failed the mid-term evaluation and lost the final stage. "
"sorry……"
The girl's eyes turned red again.
"Don't say sorry to me, you haven't apologized to me."
The man's tone softened.
"Jin Minzhou, you are sorry for yourself."
Yi Haoyan stood behind the girl and pointed at her in the mirror.
"This girl is very beautiful. She is recognized as the second most beautiful among the trainees, only 2 votes away from the first place.
She has a small face and big eyes, with plenty of hair and good hair quality, and fair skin, so good that she can appear without makeup.
She has always maintained her figure well, with an outstanding waist-to-hip ratio, a good head-to-body ratio, and long legs. She looks 168cm tall with a height of 164cm.
There are no obvious shortcomings in singing and dancing.
He has no bad habits, is gentle and modest, and is liked by everyone.
Why is Kim Min-joo so unconfident? Why can’t she be the center?
The girl was a little dazed by what she heard.
Am I so good in the eyes of this legendary senior?
