Volume 6 2014 Chapter 1000: Bae Joo-hyun's Debut Preparation
The university's fall semester begins after the summer vacation.
So the high school graduation ceremony was over and most of the graduates had their day off.
However, this does not include trainees.
They can't sit still. Graduating from high school only means the end of their studies, but the practice doesn't stop.
Qiu Zhaozhen has now become a full-time trainee of Starship, and Kim Nahyun and Cho Eun-ae have also focused more on preparing for the debut of TS Company's new girl group.
Also busy is Bae Joo-hyun, who has already graduated.
Although she was a little surprised by Choi Jin-ri's sudden appearance at the graduation ceremony, Bae Joo-hyun couldn't say anything after hearing the story of the two at last year's graduation ceremony.
What's wrong with friends supporting each other? Even if she felt there was a problem, she had no right to complain.
Bae Joo-hyun was born in 1991 and Choi Jin-sil was born in 1994. In terms of age, Bae Joo-hyun is the older sister.
But F(X) has debuted for 5 years, and the young lady has not debuted yet. In terms of seniority, she is definitely a junior.
This conflict of age and seniority makes the relationship between the two a bit awkward under the influence of the senior-senior system, and it is not easy to get too close.
Of course, all this is based on the premise that Bae Joo-hyun doesn't know that the truth has been revealed.
If Bae Joo-hyun knew that this young senior had coveted her sweetheart to this extent, she would definitely not give her a good look.
Now, even though she felt a little uncomfortable, she couldn't care less about it.
Because she is preparing to debut.
…
…
SM rookies is certainly a new project, and its purpose is to give trainees some exposure opportunities, but it does not represent a chance for debut.
But Bae Joo-hyun knew that the company actually had plans to launch a new girl group, and the rookies schedule was actually a warm-up for the new girl group and the confirmation of the final members.
During the Chinese New Year, SM Entertainment officially notified the new girl group's debut plan and began screening members.
She, Seulgi, Seungwan, and Yeri are all on the debut list.
This is also the usual practice of SM when preparing for the debut group. They keep the right candidates and then screen them layer by layer. No one knows whether they will debut successfully until the last moment.
For the trainees, this was a cruel test. After all, the end was almost here, and no one wanted to fall in the darkness before dawn.
Bae Joo-hyun also tensed up.
Even though Sun Enxi and Yi Haoyan told her not to worry, the young lady herself felt confident, but her naturally meticulous and rigorous personality prevented her from relaxing and she made serious preparations.
In this long list, she is the oldest and her qualifications are second only to Seulgi. If she makes her debut in the end, she will almost certainly be the captain's choice. Yi Haoyan had already seen this a few years ago.
At this critical juncture, the young lady followed the habit she had developed over the years, doing her own thing on the one hand and taking good care of her younger sisters on the other, and entered the captain status ahead of time.
At present, the members of the group are relatively easy to manage.
Needless to say, among the kids in the same dormitory, Seulgi and Seungwan are both sensible and obedient.
Even the most innocent and naughty girl, Jin Yeli, is obedient in front of her.
The other members are all trainees from Class A who have been training for many years. They are younger than themselves in age and experience, and have been training in Class A together, so they are very familiar with each other.
As the eldest sister and senior, Bae Joo-hyun can also manage these juniors well.
With round after round of screening, people kept leaving and joining, and the list was constantly changing.
…
…
Jin Yeli was ultimately unable to stay.
Born in 1999, she is only 15 years old this year, and the company removed her from the debut group at the last minute.
The little girl was a little disappointed, but not too sad, because she is still young and still has a chance. It is said that the girl group company will try some new concepts this time, and there may be plans to add more members to expand. In short, leaving the debut group like Yeli does not mean that she has completely lost the chance to debut.
What really surprised Bae Joo-hyun was that the company directly selected a trainee from Class B into the final debut group.
Park Soo-young.
That’s right, this time, SM’s upcoming girl group will consist of four members.
Bae Joo-hyun, Kang Seul-gi, Son Seung-wan and the last one to join, Park Soo-young.
This girl who was considered to be parachuted in is the only trainee from Class B and is not included in the SM rookie roster.
What is her origin?
…
…
"Perhaps to compensate for the height of your group?"
Only Yi Haoyan could say such a nasty thing. Anyway, the little sister is not around now, even if she said that, she can't come over along the phone line to beat someone up.
"Ah! Don't say that about us."
As expected, Bae Joo-hyun got angry and spoke in a complaining tone.
Yi Haoyan's words touched her sore spot.
Bae Joo-hyun is 158cm tall, Kang Seul-gi is 161cm tall, Son Seung-wan is 160cm tall, and Park Soo-young is 168cm tall.
When the four of them stand together, the youngest sister is obviously a head taller than her three older sisters. It does make sense to say that this is to make up for the average height of the group.
However, this kind of hurtful reason is obviously not the root cause.
"I heard it was because of you?"
This is why the young lady had to call and ask clearly.
As a junior girl group that is about to debut, the company will definitely arrange for seniors to give guidance.
Considering that there is a very special person like Bae Joo-hyun in the group, it was Girls' Generation who came.
Because of Yi Haoyan, Bae Joo-hyun is no stranger to the members of Girls' Generation. She learned the reason why Park Soo-young was finally selected from Sunny, a senior from Girls' Generation.
"Me? I didn't? Why would SM let me interfere in their new group project? That's not happening."
The boy really had no idea.
"Then why did Sunny senior say that she has a relationship with you?"
This matter is definitely not groundless, the young lady must ask clearly.
As the designated captain, she needed to understand the situation regarding the unfamiliar members, especially since Yi Haoyan was involved.
"Well, maybe it's because I greeted Sunkyu Nuna when she participated in the SM audition~"
After thinking about it, it could only be because of this, Yi Haoyan told the truth.
"I know Park Soo Young's junior in the cram school group quite well. She decided to become an idol halfway through her career, but she has good qualities in every aspect. She is smart and has a unique personality. Basically, except for the lack of practice time, there are no other problems. So when she wanted to become an idol, I recommended that she try SM. It was at that time that I mentioned it to Sunny Nuna, and I didn't bother with her after that."
"Your words are really effective~ She jumped directly from Class B to the debut group. This kid didn't even make the rookies list before..."
Although she knew that the boy would not lie to her, Bae Joo-hyun still felt a little jealous.
If you put it this way, Park Soo-young does have some relationship with Haoyan, but the relationship is not that big. At least she was not selected for the debut group because of Haoyan.
After all, she had never been included in the debut group or the rookies list, which means that she was not considered when selecting people according to the previous standards. But maybe they couldn't find a suitable candidate in the long list later, and Haoyan happened to recommend her, so they thought of her.
"This is normal. SM always selects people based on the compatibility of the concept. If they can't find the right person in the debut group, they will expand the scope. There must be a reason for choosing Xiurong. This is also one of the reasons why I recommended her in the first place."
Yi Haoyan seems to have great confidence in Park Sooyoung.
"Why?"
Bae Joo-hyun was very curious.
She didn't know much about Yi Haoyan's high school classmates. Apart from Kwon Eun-fei, Park Soo-young was the second one she had met.
"Hehe, I won't say much about this. Anyway, Xiurong is a little different from the three of you. You will know the specific differences after you get to know her~"
The boy kept it a secret; he found SM's arrangement very interesting.
