[Entertainment] Want to wear a crown

At the end of the year, all the idols have to take it seriously. Compared with those big companies, what BTS needs is to practice their own stage and strive to rely on their knives and group dances and the ability to open mics on the spot. Build a good reputation with passers-by.

The impact of the incident in November has subsided a lot. They are busy practicing and new album. In December, the company's senior management decided to release their sound source "Christmas of Trainees" and renamed it "Christmas of Ordinary Idols" Festival".

Before that, when Min Rui had just finished the joint somersault with Park Zhif and was about to take a break and drink some sports drinks before continuing training, he received a call from the United States.

The other party told him that they had already connected him with the staff in South Korea and connected him with the professor of the School of Economics of Sungkyunkwan University. He had to rush there at 03:30 this afternoon.

This time is neither early nor late, and the practice time in the afternoon is divided into two halves.Min Rui was not very happy to interrupt the practice and rush to see the professor. After all, he had already delayed the progress of his brothers due to personal reasons, and he said that he would start practicing immediately after he recovered from his illness.

But Min Rui also knew that the other party was not a person looking for trouble, and found that the other party's character was reliable and stable after dealing with him in the past few days, but sometimes he hated cooperation.This has nothing to do with Min Rui. Anyway, he only wants the result, and he has no control over what means the other party uses to do things.Since it was said to rush there at 03:30 in the afternoon, it was already the result of negotiation.

The professor of the university has a high social status in South Korea, and he is also a professor of the ace major of a famous university. Just because of the tone of the American side who agreed to meet at 03:30, it is probably not very easy-going.

It is certain that the idol profession is discriminated against in Korean society. Anyway, Min Rui has nothing to show for impressive achievements. Even if the other party neglected it at the beginning, it cannot be said to be too much.

Asking for leave from the company at 55:3, Min Rui took a taxi from the company to Myeongryon-dong [-]rd Street, Jongno-gu, where Sungkyunkwan University is located, and got off at the gate of the quaint university. The driver took a look and was wearing a knitted hat and a mask. Min Rui, who was dressed in black, said to walk slowly when he took the money.

Min Rui followed the address of the professor's office told to him by the other party, and followed some college students who were about to go to class into this famous Korean school.

The geographical location of the School of Economics is considered a treasure in this university. After all, it is an ace major. Min Rui did not have the idea of ​​meeting Song Zhongji's senior by chance, because he had already enlisted in the army on August 8 this year.

Originally, Min Rui wanted to take the time to see the man who might become his senior in the future before he joined the army, but that day they were busy with singing practice and mv recording before returning, so Min Rui could only ask someone in the official cafe My sister went to send her blessings for him.

Min Rui thinks that he understands the psychology of fans, because he is also a fan.

His sense of direction has always been very good. According to the specific address given by the other party and then looking at the school's geographical distribution map, Min Rui soon arrived at the door of the professor's personal office.

The swatch of the deep sea series on the wrist shows 5 minutes and 03:30.

Min Rui decided to knock on the door on time, and only by making a good impression on the professor can he have a good future.

Two minutes before 03:30, a girl who was crying came out of the office holding a lot of materials.

Min Rui didn't have time to see the other person's face clearly, so he quickly lowered the brim of his hat, turned his head and pretended not to see her.

When girls cry, they should not be easily provoked. This is the experience Min Rui gained in junior high school.

It was impossible for Min Rui to stand there alone without seeing him, so the girl who came out sniffed and made way for him.

When Min Rui lowered his head, he found that the other party was wearing a dark blue low-top Converse moved aside as if to make way for him, so he raised his head, because even if he was wearing a mask, he couldn't see the other party even if he smiled, so Min Rui just nodded and walked around. The other party stood in front of the door.

The door had already been closed by the girl who came out just now, and Min Rui waited for 30 seconds, thinking that the professor should have sorted out the things of the previous conversation partner, so he knocked on the door three times.

"Please come in."

The age of the speaker cannot be heard through the door.Min Rui pushed open the door and walked in.

"Hi, Professor, I'm Min Rui." Min Rui introduced himself, "Korean name is Fang Min Rui."

The professor is a middle-aged man with white hair on his sideburns. He is sitting next to a mahogany desk, and a MacBook is placed on his desk. His eyes are inside but sharp, and his voice has a mellow texture: "Please sit."

The United States had already sent a document when they introduced this kid, but Min Rui didn't come empty-handed when he came by himself.

"This is my study situation in Korea in junior high school." Min Rui handed over the materials he had copied to the other party, and he put all the materials into a kraft paper file bag, "If you need, you can have a look .”

The professor took the portfolio bag that Min Rui handed over with a gesture of respect with one hand, took out the information inside, and focused on looking for a few places he was interested in.

Min Rui sat on the wooden armchair opposite him and watched the professor's series of actions until he raised his head.

"English and mathematics are good." The professor put down the materials brought by Min Rui, and put his hands together on the table. His hands were not like those of a middle-aged man, but rather like those of an old man in his sixties whose skin had lost its elasticity. Hand, "Science is also very good. As a foreigner, you can improve your Korean to more than 70 points without losing your overall score. It can be seen that you have worked hard."

Min Rui hooked the corners of his mouth modestly, waiting for the next article.

The professor smiled at him, not a forced smile: "The people in the United States said that you want to come to my department to study."

Min Rui nodded cautiously.

The professor's eyes sharpened: "Can I ask why?"

"I want...to control my own destiny." Before Min Rui came here, he thought about what kind of problems this professor would have. He also made preparations for his studies during lunch. This problem is not difficult for him to say, " Many people look down on idols because their careers are too short. To put it bluntly, they eat youth food. The aesthetic taste of the public is always changing, and no one can predict the trend of fashion. Whether an idol can become popular or not For a few years, it was actually venture capital.”

The advantage of learning rap for so many years is that when Min Rui speaks for a long time, not only will the audience not feel bored, but on the contrary, it follows the rhythm and rhythm and has an ear-catching voice, so the mood of the audience is easily overwhelmed. He mobilized.

"The reason why I want to be an idol is not because I have to rely on my face to make a living." Min Rui took off his mask, revealing his exquisite facial features, "I don't have any feeling for my face, I just do it because I like to devote myself to music." I want to be an idol. So I don’t want to deliberately cater to the taste of the public, I want to learn economics so that I have enough confidence to lead my brothers to do what they really want to do instead of succumbing to life.”

At the end of the year, there was a song battle between various channels, and after running away from SBS without incident, it was KBS the next day.

At the beginning of the show, they were able to have two places to perform the opening show based on the topic in November, but the ones who finally stood on the stage were either the seniors who came back this year or the companies such as s,m who launched the show. The two lead singers in exo.

Little rookies like BTS, the shows are in the front row, and with the experience of performing on SBS, they also know that after their shows are over, they have to go to their designated seats and sit on the bench.

They used intro and "nomoredream" for programming. During the rehearsal, Pu Zhif was a bit unstable. Min Rui insisted on going on stage and forced him to drink half a bottle of sports drink powder from his own water bottle to replenish energy. Park Ji-f began to work hard on both diet and fitness before the song battle with more beautiful muscle lines.

They haven't held a concert yet, and they were almost dazzled by the cheering signs all over the venue during the SBS Gayo Daejeon.

Standing on the stage during the performance, you can’t see the expressions of the audience clearly. Wearing headphones and turning the accompaniment to the loudest, they can’t really hear the support from the fans, let alone that they don’t have a neat support at this time.

The only thing that can be seen clearly is the sea of ​​lights under the stage.

Min Rui quickly found the lamp board and hand banner held by Ami that belonged to them, and when he was standing on the steps before going on stage, he even patted Park Ji-f on the shoulder to let him see the fans to cheer him up.

Their stage features are very fixed. Eight people wear hip-hop style loose tops and tight leather pants of various colors. Relying on the length of her legs, Rui snatched Pu Zhif's favorite black trousers and put them on herself, "I have to change the trouser legs if I wear them." Pu Zhif could only wear the red ones.

The original intention of the stunt part is that Min Rui and Pu Zhif stand behind the two rows of backup dancers, wait until the others step down, then jump up first, and then use their strength to step on the back of the second row of backup dancers to flip and fall to the front. Min Rui's height has no advantage in somersaults. Big, but his genes are different from ordinary people, and his physical fitness is much better. He easily followed the prescribed movements and jumped over two rows of backup dancers and landed on the front stage to stand.

There was an accident in the part of Pu Zhif.

After Min Rui settled her posture, Park Zhif didn't use her legs at the critical moment when she turned over, and the somersault failed, and she fell heavily beside Min Rui, still landing on her buttocks.

The set action is two people flipping somersaults, clapping their hands and then joining the knife group dance with the rhythm of the music, followed by Park Zhif's abs show alone.

Min Rui reacted very quickly on the stage. It only took two seconds to put up his hands to help Park Zhif up. The two fisted and hugged in sync with the beat. Then Min Rui lifted up his shirt at the same time as Pu Zhif lifted his clothes. Park Ji-f's dance moves twirl.

"Ah——" the fans were excited. Min Rui had never shown her flesh on stage before, even if Park Zhi f Kim Nam Joon made a mistake on no's singing stage, Min Rui still had a full vest. He was mentioned by Jin Nanjun to help him block the camera and fans.

Pu Zhif's abs are eight pack.Min Rui's is only four yuan.

But even so, it was quite a surprise, and the two of them quickly forgot the mistake just now.Park Zhif had absolute confidence and charm when he was on the stage. When he fell down just now, his expression was only stunned for a second, and after seeing Min Rui's outstretched hand, he immediately stood up and kept up with the beat. I can't feel the pain anymore.

After their stage ended, Park Zhifu was supported off stage by Min Rui.

"I'm fine." Park Zhif felt that if others saw that the effect would be bad, Min Rui's cautious look seemed to be protecting some fragile object. In fact, the two of them fell a lot harder than this during practice. "I can go by myself."

Min Rui curled her lips, but finally let go of the hand that was supporting Pu Zhifu.

Zheng Haoxi came over and asked, "How is it? Does it hurt?"

Pu Zhifu was a little embarrassed, it was his mistake: "It doesn't hurt. Brother, I'm sorry."

Min Yunqi took off the headset, intending to come here to ask about the situation, but he didn't expect to hear Pu Zhif's apology, and the little Naiyin was quite aggrieved.

"What are you sorry for?" Min Yunqi asked, looking at Min Rui at the same time.

Min Rui shook his head.

Pu Zhif bowed his head: "I could have done better."

Tian Zhengguo was called by Cody to finish his makeup and ran over. Hearing Park Zhif's words, he patted his brother who loved him the most to comfort him: "Brother, don't think so much, we still have MBC's song battle to run."

Jin Shuozhen and Jin Nanjun were called by the program production team to negotiate, and when they came back, they told them: "To f's mistakes have little impact."

Min Yunqi nodded. It is certain that their dance is difficult, and most of the fans can understand it.

"Min Rui and Zhif cooperated very well. Although it was an obvious mistake, it was not unforgivable." Jin Nanjun asked the production team about the situation. After the photographer took a close-up of Min Rui's special effects The camera was aimed at him, and when Park Zhif fell, Min Rui blocked him a little, so even if Park Zhif fell on his back, Min Rui's tacit high-five cooperation with him later could easily be misunderstood as a choreography.

"Don't stand here all the time." The staff came over to chase people away, "The girl group will also come down after the dance. Which group are you from?"

The eight members of BTS hurriedly bowed and apologized, and then were led back to their seats by Jin Nanjun.

Jin Tae sat next to Min Rui, Park Zhif and Jin Tai sandwiched Min Rui.

Jin Tai asked in a low voice: "Is he alright?"

Min Rui shook her head, and simply reached out to pinch Pu Zhif's chubby face.

Pu Zhif glared at him, because he felt that he was fat as a baby, so he worked harder to lose weight!This kid is really...

Min Rui put his arms around Pu Zhif's shoulders, and pinched his face with the other hand, but his face was still looking in the direction of the stage: "Brother Tai asked, are you okay?"

Pu Zhif looked at Jin Tai across Min Rui, and the two exchanged a look of mutual disgust before turning their heads away.

"Very good." Pu Zhif frowned, "When did you get your abs?"

Although he didn't see Min Rui's abdominal muscles on the stage, he did see Min Rui's movement of lifting her clothes.

"It's always been there." Min Rui patted his shoulder with the hand on his shoulder, "Brother, don't think too much, watch the show with peace of mind, don't you like girl groups the most?"

Pu Zhif glared at him: "Who likes girl groups!"

"That's the boy group, and the boy group is the boy group." Min Rui patted the child on the back like that, and pinched Park Zhif's chin with his hand to turn his face to the stage to watch the show.

Min Yunqi and Jin Nanjun who were sitting in the row behind them were discussing something else.

"Remember to put Zhif's cell phone away later." Like Min Rui, Min Yunqi looked in the direction of the stage, but the content of his words had nothing to do with the stage, "Don't let him see things that he shouldn't see." comment of."

Jin Nanjun expressed his understanding: "His mobile phone was placed at Cody Nuna's place before he went on stage, and he can just ask Nuna for it."

Min Yunqi nodded, the two of them never thought about whether to ask for the opinion of the person concerned.

Min Rui and Park Zhifu, who were sitting in the row in front of them, still put their shoulders on each other, and Jin Tae angrily went to Tian Zhengguo, who was sitting next to him, to put his shoulders on each other.

Park Zhif watched the show for a while, and couldn't help turning his head again. Under the faint light, Min Rui's graceful jawline appeared before his eyes again.

He suddenly remembered the first time they met, and it seemed that although the two of them were fighting, they never put their shoulders on each other like this.

"Min Rui." Pu Zhif turned his head to the stage, trying to keep his mouth moving as little as possible.

"Huh?" Min Rui didn't turn her head, but the hand on Pu Zhif's shoulder squeezed his shoulder blade.

"Nice to have you."
