The K-pop music industry is very cruel.

Not to mention the huge difference between top groups and obscure groups, even for newcomers who have just debuted, there will be a big gap because of the companies they belong to.

Unlike groups from small companies, NCT 127 wears luxury brands on each member, has excellent makeup, and spends a lot of money on stage design. During rehearsals, a group of handsome guys standing on the stage with microphones on are quite eye-catching.

The waiting room between the simple partitions in the hall has poor sound insulation. They can always hear a lot of discussions among their colleagues when they are in the waiting room or going out.

[You are so lucky to debut in a big company...]

[Their costumes and stages are enough for us to come back several times. 】

These words are okay, they are considered normal remarks, but there are many more sarcastic remarks that are deliberately meant for them to hear.

[A group from SM Entertainment didn't even get one candidate, and they're still trying to put out the fire? ]

【A way to attract public attention. 】

[They are so arrogant because they are Somin's juniors. 】

Haechan is the team's happy pill and the full sun who can bring smiles to the team.

When he heard such words, he just showed his signature expression, sneered, and continued to make jokes with his brothers in a sweet tone to liven up the team atmosphere.

Soon, Bae Joo-hyun came to see them with some things.

The TV station staff brought them some coffee to support Kim So Min, and all the discussions disappeared in an instant.

It's as if those harsh remarks never existed.

Kaichan is a very ambitious person (in a positive sense). After his debut, he truly felt the popularity gap between artists and couldn't help but imagine more things.

"I hope we can have as many fans as Somin and Irene Nuna in the future."

I don't know when the other four children came over to rest.

Chenle quietly asked Renjun, "Is the Somin they are talking about the same person from the meeting?"

"Yep."

"Meeting?" After a period of study, Luo Zaimin was very familiar with the Chinese words they often used: "Have you ever held a meeting?"

Due to the confidentiality agreement, people who know Kim So Min's identity cannot publicize her identity. Her identity as a shareholder has not been made public. Currently, the only identity she has made public is that of a producer.

"I met her at the contract signing meeting."

Chen Le thought of his parents' expressions and tried to be as tactful as possible in his evaluation of Jin Zhaomin: "He is a very... proud person."

Renjun winked at him frantically, which made Chenle very confused. He obediently changed the topic to the future career planning of the Dream Group: "It was heard in the meeting that Somin might participate in NCT's future planning."

"Really? That's great, I like the songs written by Somin Nuna."

Kaichan hummed the chorus of "e on summer" softly, and his honey-voice voice made the chorus sound particularly sweet and ambiguous.

After singing, he did not forget to ask his friends: "Zaiminxi, aren't you learning to compose music? When can you write a song called "e on spring"? "

Kaichan's eyes were full of a little provocation.

Kim So Min was born in March, which is the spring season.

He and Luo Zaimin dislike and bicker with each other on a daily basis, but they also understand and depend on each other.

"Can't write it."

Luo Zaimin responded with a dangerous look: "However, I can sing a song "e on, sweet death" for Li Donghexi."

Haechan: “Shin Gakanae.” (This is a bit serious.)

Di Nu smiled, his eyes curved like a Samoyed, cute and sharp: "You're imitating Za Min's speech again, Kai Chan, you're going to get beaten."

His words came true.

So, when they received the message from Kim So Min, Luo Jae Min and Kai Chan were running around the practice room chasing each other.

Kaichan runs for his life, with Luo Zaimin chasing after him.

Dinu, who was still watching the show, noticed the special alert tone from his phone: "Zaimin, there is news."

Luo Zaimin rushed out the door immediately after seeing the text message.

Kaican finally got rid of Luo Zaimin. He and Dinu looked at each other knowingly, and both of them smiled meaningfully.

----

Kim So-min took the ticket out of the box and handed it to Luo Jae-min.

"There is a concert of Ms. Taylor Swift on November 11th, abroad, and she sent us the tickets to invite us."

She didn't even consider the possibility that Luo Zaimin would refuse.

Who can resist Taylor's concert?

Luo Zaimin was stunned for a moment, but still took the ticket: "Inside..."

Of course Luo Zaimin would go, this is Taylor's concert.

Besides, he wouldn't miss spending time with her.

But when Kim So-min said that Taylor personally gave him the tickets, he was confused again: "Why does Ms. Taylor know me?"

"The song 'e on summer' was inspired by you."

She used other people as creative material and wrote them into the song, even though Kim So Min knew that this person had a crush on her.

Logically, she should feel embarrassed or guilty about this.

But Kim So-min never knew what it meant to feel guilty, and she always spoke with confidence: "Taylor saw it."

"Inspired by me...?"

Luo Zaimin felt his brain went blank again. He had an irrepressible sense of pleasure, as if bubbles were constantly rising in his heart and were about to overflow from his chest.

This song is a favorite of people on the Peninsula, and it is also a song that Luo Zaimin has been playing on repeat for a long time. It still ranks among the top ten on the music charts.

"Ah."

Kim So-min didn't even give him a chance to think. She continued, "You've met Zhong Chenle, right? He will be in your group with Huang Renjun in the future and will debut here on Peninsula."

“If the comeback single gets a good response, I might be responsible for some of NCT’s songs in the future.”

“Of course, even if I write a song for NCT, I won’t write in the NEO style.”

Luo Zaimin watched her lips move. The information she revealed was important, but it was far less impactful than the impact of "being inspired by him".

Zhong Chenle and Liu Yangyang are both children of flower-growing families, and they are also wealthy second-generations.

Liu Yangyang, who has a more prominent family background than Chen Le, formed the group Wayson with several other young artists. They signed a separate contract with Kim So Min's company, which made it more convenient for them to carry out activities in the country.

WayShen has many underage children, who will debut early and follow the training route. They are currently receiving training in the company and practicing their debut songs.

In addition to the Korean version, Wayson's songs also have Chinese versions. They will also participate in the filming of Red Velvet's new album MV and will officially debut right after Red Velvet's promotion is over.

At that time, EXO will also release new songs and take Waysin and Dream Group to participate in the popular variety shows "Day Day Up" and "Happy Camp".

This is actually SM's long-standing tradition, the plan of supporting the younger generation through inheritance.

Kim So Min knew NCT's plan very well, so she sat down and advised him.

"You guys need to keep getting along as teammates. You still have to plant flowers and record the show later, so you have to maintain a good relationship."

Luo Zaimin answered hesitantly: "Our relationship is okay."

Chen Le is a cheerful boy. Even though they have only been together for a few days, Luo Zaimin has a good relationship with him.

However, Luo Zaimin had some reservations about what Chen Le had just said.

Zhong Chenle's adjective for Kim So-min is "proud".

"What... is that the word you said?"

Jin Zhaomin was much more frank than him: "He is right, everyone has said so, I just have a bad temper."

She knows her character flaws, but she will never change.

Luo Zaimin doesn't quite agree.

“I don’t think they’re right.”

Kim So Min: "Everyone has a different opinion of me, so how do you see me?"

He blurted out almost without hesitation: "Very good, talented, good-looking, and very cute."

These were all positive comments. Even Kim So-min, who always had a clear understanding of herself, couldn't help laughing when she heard them. "It seems that your impression of me is a bit too glamorous."

"The halo effect is unacceptable."

Luo Zaimin doesn't like to hear this kind of talk: "Excellence is excellence, it has nothing to do with halo."

He said: "Why can't we say 'Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder'?"

"Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" was said in Chinese. Even though it was not very standard, Kim So-min understood what he meant.

Kim So-min: “?”

Seeing Kim So Min's surprise, Luo Jae Min was very proud.

"I learned a lot of Chinese from Chenle and Renjun."

Although he cannot improve as fast as Kim So-min, he has been working hard.

So, praise him more.

Look at him some more.
