Umma and appa looked at eachother. They were confused on what I wanted to ask.
“What is it, ChaeYun?” Umma sat down infront of me.
I took a deep breath in.
“I want to join an entertainment business.” I said forward.
Silence flowed between the three.
“Well… Why do you want to join?” asked Umma
“Because I really like to dance and sing. And I want to put it to good use.” I explained.
“No.” Appa said straight forward. “You’re still too young to know what you want to do. Besides, being in all the clubs, isn’t that enough?”
“No. Appa. I want to perform for people to make them happy. Just being a doctor or a nurse isn’t going to do it.” I explained.
“No. If you become a performer, You’ll be different and greedy like all your aunt Yoomin. She was happy until she became a performer. She then became greedy with money. I will not raise a greedy person in my house.” Appa said, “That’s my final decision.” He got up and left.
“I’m sorry ChaeYun.” Umma was about to reach a hand over.
“It’s fine Umma.” I stood up, went to her room and locked the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Chaeyun. It’s dinner time.” I heard my sister knock on my door.
“I’m not hungry.” I answered.
I was sitting in my room with the posters surrounding me. BoA. DBSK, Super Junior, Shinee.
I went over to my laptop and decided to look up information on other entertainments.
I was mostly looking into YG or JYP. SM was almost impossible to get into. But, I still decided to look up more information on SM ent anyways. It’s a good entertainment… right???
I went onto soompi forums. There were people who audition for SM, YG and other places that talked about their experience.
“Chae Chae. Are you sure you’re not hungry?” asked Umma, opening the door.
“Ne, Umma.” I answered, continuing to look at the screen.
Umma shut the door behind her and walked over to me.
“Tell Umma. Are they any other reasons why you want to join the entertainment business?” Umma sat on my bed.
“Well… When I become a performer, I can help pay for the house and other things for you guys. Help Jongmin and Moonbin into college. And a lot of the things that the performers do after they debut. It looks so much fun. Family outing. Radio shows.” I turned around in my chair to look at Umma.
“When is the audition in Seoul?” asked Umma.
“This Saturday…” I was curious as to why Umma asked.
“This Saturday. Your father is working all day. Would you like to try and audition?” asked Umma.
“… Really?!” I was happy.
“Shhh. Your father doesn’t know about this. If you make it pass the audition, I will tell him. You still will be living with us here in Seoul right?” asked Umma.
“Yes. Because I don’t live far away from the academy. I can just take a bus to get there on time. But I will need to stop doing my clubs and after school activities, umma. I don’t have enough time then. But… then you guys are saving money then. Because. If I make it in, the ceo would be paying for expenses until I debut.” I explained
“You’ve already had this plan out, didn’t you?” Umma asked.
“Yes. Umma. If I’m going to audition. I’m going to need a sticker picture. And I need to decide what song to sing! And… I need to practice!!” I started freaking out.
“Calm down. Just sing a song that you know you will get good points on.” Umma calmed me down.
“Ne… Kamsahmida Umma.” I smiled.
“Alright. You’d better get to bed. You have school tomorrow.” Umma gave me a kiss on the cheek and left.
“But… I still got homework?” I tilted my head to the side.
I was always lazy with homework and never really liked doing it. I decided to surf up more information on audition to SM. Yup. This Saturday is SM entertainment’s audition.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This Saturday.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Bye Chae Chae.” Appa said, stepping out of the door.
It was 7 in the morning. I usually don’t wake up until 10.
“Bye appa!” I smiled.
After appa said no last Sunday, I didn’t talk to anyone at all, only because to keep it up that I was still mad.
I only started talking again just yesterday.
I headed back up to my room to decide what to wear.
It wasn’t until 7:15 that Umma came in, dressed in regular pants and a nice blouse.
“You’re not ready yet?” asked Umma.
“Umma… Auditions don’t start until later.” I smiled, “But I need help on figuring out what to wear!”
“I thought Appa said you couldn’t audition.” I looked over and saw that unnie was there.
“I’m going to take her to audition.” Umma said.
“What will appa say about it?” asked Unnie.
“That appa of yours. He doesn’t know how to make you girls happy at all. He just wants to make himself happy.” Umma shook her head.
“Is that why he wanted me to become a doctor?” asked Unnie.
“Sadly. Yes.” Umma answered.
“You should wear skinny jeans with this.” Unnie pulled a graphic tee out of my closet, “Along with tennis shoes and it’ll look nice.”
“Kamsahamnida unnie.” I smiled.
“Good luck.” Unnie walked out, “I’m going back to sleep.”
“Have you ate yet?” Umma asked as I was putting on my outift.
“No… Too happy.” I smiled.
“Come. I’ll make some breakfast and we’ll head to the audition place. Do you know where it is?” asked Umma.
“Ne Umma.” I said and headed down, sitting at the dining table as Umma placed some eggs infront of me and sat across.
“Do you know what song you’re going to sing?” asked Umma.
“Nobody by Wonder Girls.” I smiled.
“Do you know when you’re going to start?” asked Umma.
“They don’t tell us anything until after we make it in.” I smiled.
“You smile too much, Chae Chae.” Umma laughed as I finished up my eggs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We headed to the bus station to grab a bus to the audition place. By the time we got there, we saw that there was already a large crowd.
“Fill in this application and then return it to me.” the lady said, handing me a application.
I took it and went to a seat with Umma filling out the application

“Umma. Can I have my picture?” I asked.
“Sure.” She took out a picture of me and handed it to me.
“Kamsahamida.” I placed the sticker picture in the box and went up to return it to the lady.
I looked up at the screen to see what they were playing. There were also other posters of other artists.
“Chae Chae. Are you nervous?” Umma asked.
“Ne umma.” I nodded.
“I’m nervous too. And I’m not the one auditioning!” Umma exclaimed.
I laughed. I was number 4563. They were only on number 3454.
“Umma. I don’t think I’m going to make it.” I was very nervous.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the audition room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was standing inside of a yellow tape box. It was number 4562 turn to go.
“I’m Moon Heenim. Number 4562. I’m going to perform Into the New World by SNSD.” She said “Jin hae ju go sipeo s-”
“Kamsahamida. That is enough.” the judge said, “Next.”
“I’m Yoo ChaeYun. Number 4563. I’m going to perform Persona by Kangta.” I said.
“Moge nol gae wa sol. Neulmol gae nol wa sol. Nu napigolyesol.” I started at thte beginning but then was cut.
I watched the others perform.
“This is a rhythm test. It is optional.” said the female judge.
She started to play Big Bang’s Haru Haru.
I smiled and I stepped out of my box to start dancing until the song ended.
I looked back and saw that no one else stepped out. They were too shy.
“Alright. Number 4563. Please stay back. The rest of you can go.” the judge said as I stepped forward.
“Yoo ChaeYun. You are part Japanese?” the male judge asked me.
“Ne.” I nodded.
“Do you know how to speak in Japanese?” asked the judge.
“Ne.” I answered.
“Can you speak a little?” asked the judge.
“Konichiwa. Watashi no namae wa Yoo Chaeyun desu. Watashi wa jyuuni desu. Watashi no Osaka no namae wa Yoo Hikari desu.” I spoke in Japanese.
“Can you sing a song for us?” asked the female judge.
“Ne.” I thought up a japanese song. “I’ll sing My Boy by Buono. Can I dance too?”
“Of course.” the female judge said.
I started off with the dance and started singing when the time became right.
After I finished, the judges were smiling.
“Welcome to SM Entertainments.” said the male judge.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two year later.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was wearing my sweat pants with a graphic tee. I looked on my computer to make sure I finished all of my homework before I had to head to the Academy to start with dance practice. We were going to be working with the advance class.
I still remember appa’s face when Umma told him I passed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Flash back: two years ago
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“OPPA!! Your daughter made it pass the auditions!” Umma cried running in.
“What? I thought I told you that you couldn’t audition.” Appa was shocked.
“Appa. I went to audition for fun. I didn’t think I would actually make it. It’s a one in a million chance of getting in. and. I made it in!!” I smiled.
“… Fine. Go to the academy if you want. Just keep your studies up.” Appa left the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Flash back ends.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I put some extra clothes and water bottles into the my bag and then headed down to the front to get ready to go to practice.
“Where are you going? I thought you didn’t have practice today?” Appa asked, looking at his newspaper.
“Some kids were selected to be moved up to the advance dance class.” I answered, “I was one of the lucky ones.”
“Why weren’t you moved up last year?” asked Appa.
“Cause my dance didn’t pass well enough last year. This year I’ve improved so. Yeah. Appa. I have to go. I’m going to be late. Love you.” I smiled and headed out the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I went into the practice dance room and looked around. I was still new to the new kids.
“Alright. Everyone line up.” Songsaengnim said.
I put my bag in the corner and lined up as we started to learn the moves.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It wasn’t until later that Songsaengnim called me over.
“Soo Man hyung wants to talk to you up in his office right now.” said Songsaengnim.
“Alright. Kamsahamnida.” I said and headed up to SM’s office.
I knocked and headed in when he called me in.
“Yoo ChaeYun right?” asked SM from behind his desk.
“Ne, songsaengnim.” I bowed.
“A magazine requests from us to have some trainees do modeling. Are you interested?” asked SM.
“Ne. I am!” I was happy.
“Alright. Tomorrow, Come here at 7 in the morning and a van will drive you and other trainees to the photoshoot.” SM told me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two years later.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’ve debuted out as a model and I also help write lyrics. I’ve also done a lot of back up dancing too. Today I have to head out down to the beach for a bikini photo shoot for Vogue.
Appa drove me down to the beach as I saw they had lights and camera ready as I was dragged over to the makeup area.
“You’re going to be doing three different sets of swim wear.” the camera man came over and told me.
He then handed me three different bikinis. A normal white with flowers on it. A one piece that was neon green. And a two piece where the top was a halter and the bottom is a tie on. “You’ll do the neon on first.”
I nodded at the camera man and after my hair and makeup was done, I put on the bikini and went to get into pose.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One year later.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Was this really worth it? I’ve been a trainee for 5 years. And it’s gotten me no where. Maybe I should’ve listened to Appa and not audition at all.
I was making money right now anyways. Being a model. And back up dancing. Yeah.
I starred at my self in the dance room mirror. 5 years… I’ve only lost… 3 kgs.
“ ‘I want nobody nobody but you. I want nobody nobody but you.’” My cellphone rang. I went to pick it up.
Unknown caller.
“Nuguseyo?” I said.
“It’s Soo Man Sunbae. I want you in my office. Now.” SM hung up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I headed up to SM’s office and he was there.
“Can you sing me a quick song?” He asked.
“Nobody by Wonder girls.” I said the first song that was in my head. “ I want nobody nobody but you. I want nobody nobody but you. Back to the days when we, were young and wild and free.”
“Ok. Go into that room and wait.” SM said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ohhhh… I wonder what’s in the room.
