Entertainment: The strongest newcomer in the heyday of Nantu

the next morning.

After I got up when I heard the alarm clock, I washed myself lightly and got ready to go out. While arranging the long laptop charging cable and putting it into her bag, Cheng Minji yawned sleepily and stood up.

After that, everyone is ready to go to the training center.

Maybe it’s because it’s almost time to go to work and the subway is crowded.

He wore headphones and listened quietly to music as he moved, and I used intermissions to relieve fatigue while monitoring stage video.

Then after arriving at the training center, each entered the practice room to start individual practice.

I practiced the mission song until very late yesterday, and I came to a conclusion

"Rather than dancing, let’s focus on the vocals."

Unlike a group stage where the slightest mistake or misalignment in the dance will be immediately apparent, on an individual stage, the power of the lead singer determines the quality of the stage.

On an individual stage where it takes a minute to complete the lead vocal part alone, an unstable lead singer is Fatal. Although other members can cover the group stage, they can't do it here.

On the contrary, I can think that I still have a little chance of winning.

Because among the trainees here, I am one of the few vocal members. As a The vocalist was very confident to receive good reviews. The dance was also confident to be digested to the extent that it would not generally be compared.

From then on, the practice went smoothly. From songs that were already familiar with dance to songs that were slightly unfamiliar, I watched them one by one, Time passed quickly.

There was a mountain of songs to practice, so I didn’t feel particularly bored. Just like that, I focused on the next practice. I paused the practice because when Sung Min-hee entered the next room and came over. I checked the time and it was already long past lunch time.

"Let’s rest for a while before doing it."

I looked at Sung Min-hee who was eating kimbap while squirming in front of me, and thought for a while.

"What song did you choose?"

The current intimacy level is 29, and there are about two days left before the next game.

When talking to the car-mounted Lee Kang-bin, the intimacy level increased once inadvertently... This time, the conversation can be naturally guided.

"What song did you choose?"

Eating very seriously, with bulging cheeks, he looked at the screen of his mobile phone. There was a familiar song title on the screen.

【Windmill-We:terdz (Witters)】

""Very unexpected" is not so much a bad song as it is a very unexpected feeling.

If it were Sung Min-hee, she would be more suitable for a more powerful performance song, but Windmill is more suitable for a quiet and emotional vocal song.

Of course, as a vocalist, The song and the performance were also very difficult.

But I quickly understood a fact and figured it out.

"Did you give in this time too?"

Indeed, judging from what I have shown before, the probability of this is not small. Because I have never had any desire for songs or parts. I give them to other trainees every time, which seems to be a habit.

I think of Park Jae Nam again. What the representative said

"Minxi, I can’t see the sincerity."Although he is very strong, he will not take away the better parts."

I thought it was probably because of his personality, but to this extent, it is a bit strange. Because I wasn’t greedy about the part, I dropped the minor key, but gave it to the song.

I put the kimbap he bought into my mouth and continued thinking

"Although it wasn't asked that way."

What? It's my choice and circumstance to give in, and it's strange to interfere. I worried for a while and asked him

"The song is difficult. Do you want me to help you sing it?"

To be honest, even though I am a competitor now... I can't pretend that I don't know the memory of Sung Min-hee staying until early in the morning to help me practice my dance.

Also, it's not like helping me when I also have to practice the same song. What a difficult thing. Anyway, apart from now, I don’t have many opportunities to help him.

"And... because intimacy may increase."

He nodded to my suggestion.

After lunch, the vocal lesson suddenly started

"Do you want to sing the first chorus?"

Grab the lyric paper and concentrate on making short paragraphs of sounds. I listened slowly and thought to myself

"What, you sing so well."

On the contrary, the pronunciation is more stable and the range is wider than what I have seen on the stage before. The treble part was also put on smoothly without hesitation. The intervals are almost not out. To be honest, there is almost nothing I can touch.

"Is the lead singer underrated because of his outstanding dancing ability?"

To be honest, when Representative Park Jae-nam left his regretful comment, I didn't think much about it... After hearing it with my own ears, I really agree with this comment.

So far, I have not played a very important part in the game. , so even I who practice with him don’t know his singing ability.

If he is more greedy, it should be more obvious.

Among these well-known trainees, his dancing ability is also almost top-notch.

So I am even more curious. Why does he There is no desire to stand out. If it were me, I would try to be more noticeable.

As I was thinking about it, he stared at me with a surprised expression. I smiled at that expression and left a brief comment

"You sing so well, you can do the same on stage."

Hearing my compliment, he shook his head slowly in embarrassment. The compliment was a bit weak, so I thought about it and continued the vocal lesson.

After the personal practice, it was close to midnight that I decided to slowly return to the dormitory. It's time. I packed the luggage I brought and made sure nothing was missing before leaving the practice room.

[Minxi]

[I'm going back to the dormitory now]

[Is the practice not over yet? ]

I sent a message to Sung Min-hee about 10 minutes ago, but there was no contact, so I decided to go to her directly.

Then as soon as I entered the practice room, I knew the reason why he didn't get contacted

"What?"

He leaned against the wall of the practice room and slept soundly. He was wearing the headphones he often wore in the room. Although he slept in the same way as before, when viewed from the front, the thick eyelashes on his white skin came into view..Also

, although I don’t know why the tall child curled up in the corner to sleep...but he looked very peaceful, and I laughed. If you fell asleep like that, I’m sorry to wake you up again.

I walked over to him and sat down, looking at I sat on the laptop for a while and waited for him to get up.

30 minutes later.

With Cheng Minji who opened his eyes and stood up, I returned to the dormitory. There was also a moving subway. I asked him a question, and he still looked a little bit tired

"Did you practice well?"

He shook his head expressionlessly and asked me

"Where is my brother?"

"Hmm... not bad."

In fact, it's not so much that I haven't tried hard... I feel like I'm not sure whether it's okay to do this now. Although I practiced with the lead singer as the center, I don't know what variables will appear in actual practice.

To be honest, although I assume that in the following In a game, most of the 8 people would pick me...but if I was actually designated, my spirit might be shaken

"Just, be mentally prepared. Be prepared to be less panicked even if you are assigned a lot of times in your next competition."

He listened to my words, was silent for a while, and then answered me in a low voice.

"…I won't name my brother"

"Yeah? Thanks."

A smile instantly broke out on his sincere face, but I ended it well and accepted his words. Is there any one of those 8 songs that I don't need to practice? Then the question asked

"How did you get into LnT?"

This is a question I wanted to ask when I took a walk in the morning. To be honest, I am also very curious. I wonder if there is a special opportunity that turned me from a dancer into an idol. At that time, I was afraid of stepping on a landmine and did not dare to ask easily, but now It seemed okay to ask. He answered my questions without any trouble.

"Just... follow my brothers."

If it's the brothers he's talking about, they should be the two Yoo Bo-hyun and Chen Tae-joo. Because the two of them joined the company after being in the same dance troupe.

Although they don't seem to go to school together now, I remember when I joined the company I also saw three people going to school together.

And, unlike what I expected, there didn’t seem to be a big reason. When I became a trainee

"Aren’t you tired of broadcasting?"

"It's nothing...it doesn't matter."

There doesn't seem to be any special pressure on stage preparation and performance. I envy that. My brother was tired, so he asked in a low voice

"Well, there’s a lot to prepare for…and a lot to worry about."

I answered without any trouble. To be honest, this draft is a very busy schedule for me.

Basically, life is at stake, and there are many status windows and other things that need to be paid attention to. In addition, , this time is also a task that requires a collision of strengths.

But after my debut, I suddenly wondered if this period of time will also become a good memory.

Although it is my second debut...actually I have not been active a few times before, So things are a little different

"It’s a different feeling to debut at a large agency."There are still changes in the lineup."

Why is he so immersed in emotional thoughts? I asked him a question that had no idea.

"If you debut, is there anything you want to do?"

Unlike me, who didn’t think it was a hard question to answer, he shook his head. In response to this reaction, I asked another question

"So...at what age did you start wanting to do this? I heard that you were in a hip-hop troupe, and I'm very curious."

This was also the question I wanted to ask when I was walking in the morning. Hearing my question, he didn't have any trouble this time and answered in a low voice.

But I had to think about whether I heard his answer wrong.

He said it Finally, he still had an expression of no thought. Although the tone was indifferent, the reason why that sentence accurately struck my ears was... it was really unexpected.

I didn't want to do this.
