"It's 2014. Is the contract due this year in girlhood?"
"Yes, the company has been talking to them about contract renewal since last year."
"Are there so many people hesitating?"
"How do you know?"
"Does one of them want to start a sideline, and then the company disagrees?"
"You know that?"
"Hehe..."
Time: January 1, 2014, location: Auditorium, Stanford University, USA
There was a dark crowd, and the middle-aged people on that stage were explaining something to the students below in high spirits.
From the large screen on the side of the middle-aged man, it can be clearly seen that a group of videos are slowly playing, including men and women, who are doing the same thing - performance.
Thick English mixed with South Korean accent. Looking at the top of the auditorium, there is a red banner. The most conspicuous is the English characters "K-pop".
"The last time I came here, I introduced to you that our company was preparing to prepare a large men's group with 7 members from South Korea and 5 members from China( Later, one quit (song Bingyang)
It's a team that intends to form a team with the same team name. And they are respectively in the South Korean country and the Huaxia country. The members of the South Korean country are active in the South Korean country and the members of the Huaxia country are active in the Huaxia country. The two teams debut and carry out activities in the two countries with the same song at the same time. The combination of the two teams is 12 members. He will make his debut in China and South Korea in May.
This time I came here to meet you again, which also brought you good news to look forward to.
We plan to launch a women's group in August this summer. This is another women's group launched after the launch of F (x) in 2009. At present, this plan has just been put on the agenda. How many members are there? The route and style are still planned. The selection of the new women's League will start after I return home. Please look forward to it. "
The middle-aged man speaking on the stage is just much older than three years ago, and the eyes of the lens are still shining with wisdom. In the crowd, there was a boy who looked somewhat similar to the middle-aged man, holding the phone and whispering something.
"Father will be very happy if he knows you have retired from the army."
"Really?"
"Don't you come here for a minute?"
"No, I'm on my mother's side."
Hearing the speech, they fell into silence at the same time, which was incompatible with the auditorium where applause appeared from time to time.
After more than a minute of silence, the man slowly opened his mouth and said, "if you want me to convey it to my father, just open your mouth."
"Well, it's nothing, but please tell my father that I will return home after I officially retire."
"Really? Don't you always reject the entertainment industry? "
"Before, now..."
Outside Stanford University, on a hillside in the distance, a tough man in military uniform looked at the direction of the school and hung up the phone.
In front of him, there was a incense table with a bowl of steaming rice, a bowl of broth, a stack of wormwood cakes and a yellow photo.
The man who just talked to him on the phone, Li Xiankui, is his brother.
At this time, the person who gave a speech at Stanford University was his father, the only female winner of his medal of honor. Mary Hawke was a military surgeon during the civil war. Her medals, along with those of other non combatant winners, were abolished in 1917 and were not re recognized until President Carter was in office in 1977.
Eligibility for the medal of honor is not limited to American citizens. 61 Canadians who have served in the U.S. military have received this honor, most of them during the American Civil War. The last award was in 2013, and the protagonist was awarded during his service.) During this period, Li Xianzhe's application for early graduation was also approved by his university, Stanford University.
Compared with many talented students at Stanford University, Li Xianzhe, who obtained a master's degree during his military service, is not special, but in South Korea, such an example is doomed to be difficult to be ignored.
One day in March, Li Xianzhe, still wearing a military uniform, got on a plane to his hometown from San Francisco International Airport in California.
On the same day, Li Xianzhe's father's company announced the highly anticipated new women's League selection plan.
