When faced with MBN's recruitment, most trainees' biggest concern is the company's qualifications.
After all, it is a new company, and the representative is a producer who has never been in an idol group before, so it cannot give people a sense of trust.
But Xiao Qian's words are the greatest guarantee.
He will participate in the planning of the combination, which will undoubtedly greatly enhance the probability of the combination's success.
Jin Youzhen smiled brightly and felt relieved.
"I think I really can't refuse your sincerity."
She is a smart girl, and Xiao Qian admires her endlessly.
"After you come here, even though you are a trainee of MBN, Big Hit will also provide support. In the future, they will help you with acting activities, not just idols."
These words were the decisive blow, and made Jin Yoo-jin's last worries disappear.
Everyone knows that idols can't be a lifelong idol, and they only eat the food of youth. So when idol activities are over, how to go about their career as an artist is a problem for all idols.
Obviously, the vast majority of people cannot find a new space for activities and can only rely on their past reputation to survive. Only a very small number of idols have found a new way out and are still active in the entertainment industry.
And where they can continue to show their value is obviously the actors.
Jin You can really become a good actor, this is something Xiao Qian has witnessed with her own eyes.
After all, not just anyone can star in a TV series with a ratings of 50%.
In fact, all the young talents he has recruited for MBN have the ability to develop in a variety of ways, not just idols.
After discussing with Jin Youzhen and achieving initial results, he asked her to go back and communicate with her parents, and then brought her parents over to sign the contract. The matter was considered settled.
Xiao Qian's next target is Xiaomin.
She was a trainee of JYP, but missed the debut of Wonder girls.
Although Wonder Girls will debut next month, they actually became a group in December last year.
At that time, these trainees participated in a program called "MTV Wonder Girls", and the name of the group was decided.
The funniest thing about that show was that after Sunye, HyunA, Sohee, and Sunmi were confirmed, it was necessary to select a fifth member, and then JYP held an audition.
We were obviously looking for members for a girl group, but it turned out that there was no gender restriction. There were many boys who were very good at dancing in the audition materials...
As for Hyomin, she was eliminated a long time ago.
She is from Busan. After becoming famous on the Internet, her confidence increased, so she came to Seoul to pursue her dream. But when she came, it was already too late, and she was not included in JYP's selection because of her lack of ability.
However, Hyomin doesn't know this yet and is still working as a trainee at JYP, waiting for the next opportunity.
Only Xiao Qian knew that she couldn't wait any longer.
JYP’s next-generation girl group is MISS A, and Hyomin in 1989 would never be a member of it.
If that's the case, then let's pry the corner.
In fact, poaching trainees happens a lot among Korean entertainment companies.
After all, everyone is eager for a good seed, and at the same time it can weaken the strength of the rival company, why not do it.
For example, Sunmi was recruited from SM to join JYP.
At that time, a staff member of SM company switched jobs to JYP. Because he was familiar with Sunmi, he extended an invitation to her.
Sunmi thought about it and went to JYP.
That employee jumped from SM to JYP. He was obviously promoted and had great power. With such a backer, Sunmi obviously knew that it would be easier to get along in JYP than in SM.
Because of this, it was not difficult for Xiao Qian to get Xiaomin's contact information.
We made an appointment to meet at the coffee shop.
Koreans’ favorite place to chat is in a coffee shop.
But Xiaomin was very nervous when she came because she had never been to such a high-end coffee shop, and the quiet environment made her uncomfortable.
It wasn't until she saw Xiao Qian that she felt at ease.
"Hello, Representative Xiao."
Standing next to the table, Xiaomin bowed deeply, with stars in her eyes.
It’s time to see the idol’s posture.
Seeing Hyomin is different from seeing Jiyeon.
Jiyeon is too young, she has changed into a girl, and her current appearance is completely different from what she remembered. But Hyomin's appearance has already emerged, that is, the long-legged fairy with an explosive figure.
Seeing her, Xiao Qian couldn't help but recall the days when she was trapped in poverty.
"Sit down."
Afraid that Xiaomin would be nervous, he asked thoughtfully: "What would you like to drink?"
Xiaomin was really nervous and said smoothly: "Bingmei is fine."
Sure enough, Koreans will drink Bingmei until they die.
Xiao Qian's head is covered with black lines.
"Although it's very warm indoors, it's winter. Is it really good to drink Bingmei?"
The relaxed conversation made Hyomin cover her mouth and chuckle.
“Isn’t Bingmei the best coffee?”
Forget it, there's no way to communicate about this.
Xiao Qian asked the waiter to give Xiaomin a glass of ice cream, but he still drank his green tea.
"We at MBN are also preparing for a girl group and we need excellent talents. Do you want to come over?"
As expected, the trainees are all concerned about debut issues.
"Representative Xiao thinks I can debut?"
Xiao Qian shook his head and said sincerely: "Judging from your current strength, it's definitely not possible. But after training, it's definitely no problem."
Such comments made Xiaomin feel at ease.
If Xiao Qian opened her mouth and said Xiaomin was fine, it would definitely be appropriate, but Xiaomin thought he was lying to herself.
After all, Hyomin has only been in Seoul for less than half a year, and has not even passed the basic singing and dancing exercises, so she is still far from making her debut.
It's not that you can debut as a trainee, but that requires very good talent. Xiaomin is obviously not such a person, and more professional training is what she needs most.
"JYP is about to debut a girl group, and there won't be another girl group for at least three years. It's a waste of time for you to stay there. And the next generation of girl groups, considering your age, may not be suitable.
.”
Unlike Kim Yoo Jin, Hyo Min has a soft ear and attaches great importance to other people's opinions. She made a decision before she finished her coffee.
"I...I'm going to MBN."
It went so smoothly, which made Xiao Qian very happy.
"I'll arrange for someone to help you move, and you can just live in the company's dormitory."
Xiaomin was stunned and asked in disbelief: "Will the company provide accommodation?"
For these trainees who come to Seoul from other places, they are actually no different from the Beipiao and Hengdiao in China. While they have to pursue their dreams in various entertainment companies, they also have to find a way to live.
Only trainees who have entered the debut process will be provided with dormitories by the company.
The place where Hyomin lives now is a small semi-underground single room that she rents. The monthly rent is 250,000 won. There is only one bed for sleeping, and even the bathroom is shared with other tenants.
Even so, food, clothing, housing and transportation are a huge expense every month.
In addition to the money given by her parents, she also needs to work.
Now I heard that MBN actually provides dormitories, which will undoubtedly save her a lot of expenses.
In order to attract talents, Xiao Qian also racked his brains.
"Yes, MBN will provide dormitories for you out-of-town trainees. In addition, knowing that your living expenses are insufficient, we will also find some suitable jobs for you. You have a good image, and I will recommend you to work as a model with Hanxiu.
Although the income is not much, it should be able to help you."
"Can I be Han Xiu's model?"
Xiaomin was so happy that she almost went crazy.
She is a person who is very interested in fashion, and she has wandered around Dongdaemun many times. She has also passed outside Han Xiu's headquarters countless times, and every time she lies on the window display, daydreaming about the various exquisite accessories inside.
I never thought that one day I would be associated with this well-known brand.
This strengthened her decision to switch to MBN.
The next day, Xiao Qian led Jiang Minjing, Kim Yoojin and Park Hyomin to MBN's practice room.
Today Zhien is finally no longer here.
The little girl also has her own training course. If Xiao Qian finds out that she always goes to MBN, she will be spanked.
Chulong, Zhiyan and Xiaojingjing were all very nervous when they saw the three beautiful sisters coming in.
Little did they know that Jiang Minjing and the other three were also a little wary when they saw them.
"From now on, you will train together. Chulong, Jiyeon, and Xiaojingshu, you are the seniors. If there is something they don't understand, you should give them more guidance. Minkyung, Yuzhen, and Sunying, you three are sisters.
The three little ones have problems in their daily lives, please take care of them more."
Both parties have agreed, but whether they can live in harmony depends on how they get along in the future.
But seeing that there were as many as six people, Xiao Qian felt that a management structure was about to be established between them.
"From now on, Cholong will be your captain, responsible for your daily training and life. Well... Zhiyan is the vice-captain, responsible for team discipline. If anyone doesn't train well or is lazy, Zhiyan can take care of it."
This appointment surprised all six girls.
According to Korean custom, the captain's duties are generally performed by the oldest person.
Among the six girls, the age order is Kim Yoo Jin, Park Hyo Min, Kang Min Kyung, Park Chorong, Park Ji Yeon and Jung Soo Jung. Logically speaking, the captain should be Kim Yoo Jin.
But Xiao Qian knew the temperaments and personalities of the six of them very well, and knew that the three older ones were not strong and careful, so they could not be the captain.
On the contrary, Chulong, who has a delicate mind, a kind personality, and a generous heart, is more suitable for the unity of the team.
Zhiyan, who is competitive and never admits defeat, can urge these girls to work hard.
