132. Recruiting Hana Kang 2

When the three tall members with an average height of 169 cm took the microphone and went on stage, dance singer Kim Chan-hee from the audition seated on the judges seat gave a welcome expression.

"Our Chan-hee Kim is also from Istone, right?"

When Kim Heung-gi, the judge, asks a question, Kim Chan-hee nods.

Yes. They are my juniors."

Come to think of it, Chanhee and Istone are all eight heads."

Director Lee Dong-min asked while the judges were judging the three members of I-Stone Music Entertainment who appeared on stage.

"Yunho. Is it him?"

Yes. What do you think the manager sees?"

"Anyway, the visuals are fine, but my teeth are critical. I don't know if I know myself or not, and I don't have confidence in my face. If the acting and aptitude match, I think it would not be bad to try and grow as an actor."

As an idol trainee at the age of 26 this year

It is no exaggeration to say that the 60th birthday has passed.

At 26, she's two years older than Park Eun-bin, the 5th-year-old idol who was the best until last year.

If you are a member of society, this is the age to start your life after just graduating from college.

However, in the world of idols who usually debut in their late teens, the age is not lacking even if they have already retired.

It was not at all strange that Director Lee Dong-min was worried.

"Don't worry, he

It's not because I'm trying to recruit you as an idol.

Then the stage started.

With a light prelude, the three trainees dance and sing.

Come on Boys! Break it Down! j

The song selected by the trio of Istone for the contest is ; Party Night .

However, as the stage progresses,

Director Min's face gradually darkened.

Because Hana Kang's dance is clearly different from that of Park Ye-seul and Choi So-young.

"You seem to have put in a lot of effort, but do you have no talent for dancing?"

Yes. There aren't many."

"It would be okay if the other two debuted right away . For a girl named Kang Hana, it must be hard enough that she practiced. There are a lot of good kids these days."

Not surprisingly, the three sitting on the judges also watched Hana Kang's dance.

She shook her head as if regretfully.

Hana Kang is doing her best, but "Party Night" was like clothes that didn't suit her.

It's a fast-beat dance song, and it's basically a rap part.

It seemed that the producer of Istone passed all the difficult parts to Hana Kang to make the young Park Ye-seul and Choi So-young stand out.

There was a time when I had to hire a rapper if I couldn't sing, but unlike the past, there are quite a lot of professional female rappers.

To the judges and the audience who are accustomed to talented rappers, Hana Kang's clumsy rapping will feel plausible.

However, the strength of Hana Kang is the song that she wrote herself to melt her emotions as it is.

Because of that, the stage now did not reveal her strengths at all.

"You'll know if you listen to it later, but the vocals are good."

"If you're a vocalist, you might not be able to dance or rap. Then why did you divide the parts like that? I don't understand

I am going."

"Kang Hana is 26 years old this year, so I think she is trying to support young children."

Director Lee Dong-min nodded his head.

"Hey, honestly, he's too old to be an idol. Still, the producers are a bit harsh. Do you use it as a rug in a program like this?"

The word "rug" literally meant using it to lift others up.

Director Lee Dong-min scratched his head.

"I can be sure only after testing it at the company first."

"Of course you should."

Since director Lee Ki-cheol and Kim Dong-soo started actively recruiting.

Singer Room 1 actively embraces idols whose contracts with other singers have expired and is growing in size.

Because of that, director Lee Dong-min is also anxious because his performance is in a hurry.

However, it was clearly declared that no one could accept it.

In the meantime, the stage of the three people ended.

The three of them, sweating profusely, put their hands together holding the microphone with the above expression on their faces.

The judges begin the evaluation.

First of all, Park Ye-seul.

"Even though Park Ye-seul is young, she is very well prepared in every way. I will unanimously give A! Don't be conceited, and even if you go to the lesson, keep doing it like you are now. Do you know?"

thank you! I'll do my best!

Among the three, Ye-seul Park, the tallest and most beautiful, had nothing missing from singing or dancing.

Moreover, he is also a member scheduled to debut in the final n people.

'I would have been rich if I had Toto to match the rating.'

With that thought in mind, I waited for Choi So-young's next judge's evaluation.

Choi So-young was also one of the last 11 members.

Choi So-young received a slightly lower evaluation than Park Ye-seul, but she gained popularity after her activities due to her unique personality.

get it

"Was he B?"

Without realizing it, I spoke the grade out of my mouth.

"B?"

Director Lee Dong-min asked again with a surprised expression.

"Ah, that's it

Before even giving an explanation, the judge Bae Yoo-jin announced the final grade.

"I will give trainee Soyoung Choi a grade of B."

Director Lee Dong-min was surprised and asked

all.

Hey you! What happened?

I hurriedly coughed and made excuses.

"Just looking at it, it looks like B."

"It looked like an A to me. Did you do well without missing anything?"

I turned my gaze to Hana Kang, saying it was purely a shot.

Then what about him?"

"It would be F. Of course, if I had entrusted the vocal part, it would have been A, but they only rapped outright."

Director Lee Dong-min, who was staring at me quietly, nodded.

"Hey, I'm strong too, but he looks like an F."

Fortunately, Director Lee Dong-min did not ask questions any more.

All four judges gave it an F rating with a sad expression on their faces.

"I think strong Hana trainees need to work a little harder. It seems that you lack self-confidence, so overcome it well. I'll give you an F for now, but your voice is good, so don't give up already.

Yes. We will work harder."

It was Kang Hana who bravely responded even after accepting the F grade.

Thanks to years of being a trainee, he is smiling with a seal on his body, but his insides must be burning black.

It was then.

Singer Hongki Kim made a worried expression and grabbed the microphone.

"Kang Hana is a trainee who is too old to dream of debuting . May I ask what the circumstances are?"

Take the rating sheet and get off the stage

The river Hana was going to stop.

The trainees belonging to I-Stone, who had come up together, have already returned to their seats.

For a moment, the cameras focused on Kang Hana, who was left alone on the stage.

Hana Kang took a deep breath and started talking about her situation.

He joined the company at the age of 20 and became the debut group of a new girl group, but unfortunately, the group that had been preparing for three years was canceled as the investment failed.

And for three years, I waited for the next opportunity to come as a trainee.

At Hana Kang's story, all the judges put on sad faces.

Hongki Kim took the microphone again.

"In our company, there are juniors whose debuts have been canceled due to similar incidents. Unfortunately, it is the reality of our music industry that this kind of thing is not uncommon. That's why one chance is even more precious."

To become an idol or a singer, luck as well as skill must be connected.

The debut of a talented group that anyone thought would debut was canceled for absurd reasons.

sometimes it will be

There are cases in which the company went bankrupt the day before the launch and the representative was splattered.

Conversely, some people were lucky enough to be selected as a popular idol member soon after joining the company and eat their lives day by day.

It's the entertainment industry where all sorts of things happen, but luck is also a factor that cannot be ignored.

"Please do not miss this opportunity. Strong Hana trainee. I wish you all the best."

Thank you for listening to Hana Kang

He nodded his head.

thank you!

I see Kang Hana's legs trembling as she comes down from the stage.

I wanted to go and help, but it was a pity that I couldn't.

'It's one. Hang in there.'

Kang-ha, who was like a real brother and sister before returning, looked at me and bit her lip.

There's still a lot of work left to do to get her back.

Hana Kang went down the stage and headed for the seat assigned to the F-class.

He sat calmly in an upright posture, but he couldn't hide his swaying eyes.

After that, performances by teams from Japan followed.

Director Lee Dong-min kept talking next to me saying who liked someone, but I couldn't remember any words.

Because I was just looking at Hana Kang, who accepted the F grade and smiled forcibly.

* * *

Around the end of the first day of recording for ; Global Produce 47 .

Hana Kang let out a deep sigh.

Just in case, it was an F grade.

The company's producer, Myeong-jin Lee, shouted out for the last time to go on the air and seize the opportunity.

-I'm a man! This is a special opportunity given to you by taking care of you. do you know I will do anything to go to this audition.

How many kids!

At the same time, how creepy it was to put a hand on her shoulder.

However, the song of Janggiin was assigned to Park Ye-seul and Choi So-young, which the company is pushing.

And thanks to the unfamiliar rap part, he got an F grade.

'Don't be discouraged, Hana. This is the beginning.'

The moment I promised myself that I would definitely be recognized for singing properly in the next round.

Hyunsang Lee AD shouted to the cast.

ruler. Today's recording ends here. Please return your name tag when everyone leaves."

Hyunsang Lee AD pointed to a colander in the corner of the studio.

At that moment, Park Ye-seul and Choi So-young took off their name tags and called Kang Ha-na.

sister. Please return ours."

M o. Eww ''

Kang Hana nodded awkwardly

Iza, Park Ye-seul and Choi Choi-young threw away the name tag and went out with the manager.

Kang Hana looked at it and smiled bitterly.

"I wish you were young."

After Kang Hana got her name tag. went down the stairs.

It was then.

A sharp voice came from behind.

"Ah, what is it? I'm busy! Don't block the way to F-class topics, get out of the way!"

Lee Eun-jung, a member of Big Star Entertainment, a large entertainment agency, roughed Hana Kang and passed by.

When the camera was turned off, the trainees who participated in today's audition acted as if the grades they had received were grades.

Hana Kang hesitated and pushed away, but she couldn't protest.

Not only myself, but also the trainees who received E-class evaluations were watching and moving away.

Idol trainees with Grade A grades were the first to return, and all

The note was B, and Kang Hana, who was suddenly pushed back, was only able to return the name tags of the three E-class trainees after they returned their name tags.

Thank you. A.D."

"Hurry up and go."

Lee Hyun-sang AD did not even accept a greeting and pointed to the colander next to the name tag.

Everything is a strange world.

As Hana Kang learned, she lived a humble and kind life. As I learned in school, I diligently improved my skills.

But the entertainment industry is only popular

It was the harsh world that decided all of this.

At the scene where the trainees left, Hana Kang, who had been pensive for a while, suddenly realized that too much time had passed.

"Oh, it's late!"

Tick Tack Tack!

Hana Kang ran towards the parking lot with all her might to the point where the sound of gasping breath reached her chin.

However, the company car that had to stand in the parking lot disappeared.

uh? Uh, where did you go?"

There were wallets, clothes, and even a bag in the car, so I couldn't even make a phone call.

He tried to borrow a phone from a trainee passing by in a hurry, but all he got back was a sharp coldness.

I'm sorry. I'm busy."

In the end, all cars disappeared except for the cars of the station staff.

ha. really. Anyway, where are you leaving people behind? Seriously, everyone is so...

A drop of tears fell without realizing it.

I wanted to go into a broadcasting station and rent a car, but after experiencing the coldness of AD a while ago, I did not have the courage to do so.

I didn't even think about calling the manager who left me.

In the end, there was only one way left.

Yes. Well, not this time... . Let's just walk, one.

At the previous picnic, I had left him alone, so I walked from the Han River to the dorm.

The distance is farther than then, but if you walk diligently, you can reach it at dawn.

I thought there would be

Kang Hana made up her mind and turned around.

By the way .

"Hey, Hana Kang. Right?

"Who are you?"

A man in a neat suit handed him a business card with a bright face.

"My name is Yunho Jung, the assistant manager of Golgoongso Enter. If not, can I burn it instead of being rude?"

In an instant, Hana Kang's heart began to pound.

Maybe it's because I feel like a savior has appeared.

The image of the man reflected in the street lamp even looks cool.

'You must be crazy. One, calm down.

At the same time, I felt a strong sense of dread.

'It's the first time I've seen someone, so why are they so familiar?'

I don't know if it's because of the man's smiling face, or maybe it's his voice.
