My Younger Sister Is a Genius Chapter 118

EP23 – Sing A Star (8)

117.

After the first round of auditions for the finals, the second round of auditions began. In the case of the second audition, unlike the first audition, you compete against another mentor team, and for this purpose, it is possible to reorganize the team or completely disband it and then form a new one.

However, Myungsoo Lee is the only mentor who disbanded the existing team and formed a new team. Only two teams did that for Im Ha-in’s sake, and the rest were left alone.

“The next 2nd main casting audition will be filmed in 10 days. This may be the last filming, so I hope you all do your best and prepare. “Without regret.”

Everyone nods their heads at the host’s words. The first audition ended like that, and Seo Chae-rim, who was watching it, asked Ha-jun Yoon.

“Who do you think will win?”

“Im Ha-in, Suyeon, Goyo, Taeyoung, and Oh Soo-jeong.”

“Oh Soo-jeong? That’s surprising. “I thought only the other four were candidates for the championship, excluding Oh Soo-jeong.”

“It’s a survival program. “If I have good luck, I think I can win.”

For example, if Im Ha-in falls in the middle, Oh Soo-jung can also win. Above all, there are no ‘ups and downs’ for Oh Soo-jeong. There are lows and highs and I always sing at the same level.

That is a huge strength in a survival program like this. If you can’t sing properly on stage because you’re not in good shape, there’s nothing more unfair than that.

But for Oh Soo-jeong, physical condition is not important. She is not exaggerating, but Oh Soo-jeong has a record of going on stage even while in a feverish state and showing off her outstanding singing skills.

Was that the semifinals?

I can’t remember clearly.

“Well, my skills are definitely good. Hmm, do Oh Soo-jeong and Im Ha-in have an agency? “How do you want to bring me here?”

“You don’t know that. “It goes further than that.”

“huh? “Aren’t you going to go with Goyo or Suyeon?”

“Everyone will talk to their mentors. “Not only are we waiting for that, but we are not participants.”

“Ah, well. yes.”

Seo Chae-rim nods. Yes, Hajun Yoon is not a participant. I just made up his brother’s song. And there is no problem because the manager in charge will pick up Sooyeon and Goyo when they get off work.

Ha-Jun Yoon leaves the audience with Chae-Rim Seo. Preparations aren’t over yet. There is so much to do. Thinking of all the things he had to do in his head, Hajun Yoon took out his cell phone.

Seolwon Arts High School’s Sil-Eum Department is very hot right now with the story of Sing A Star filming. This is because students who participate in Sing A Star may miss school during filming.

Of course, there are conditions such as having to wear a school uniform during filming, or having to report back to school about what happened during filming, but if you can skip school entirely during filming, it is a huge benefit.

Additionally, if you make it to the finals, you will be able to miss school for at least 3 months, that is, until winter break.

Of course, you have to take separate exams such as midterms and final exams. And now, when the second round of finals begins, there are a total of 5 students who are not attending school.

There are two in third grade, two in second grade, and one in first grade. Of course, that fact alone makes him a spoiler. As a result, students are talking about them whenever they have time.

At the same time, there is a student who is mentioned the most by students, and that is Hajun Yoon. Students who are directly related to second- and first-year participants, excluding third-year students.

Plus, seeing as he misses every day of filming, it’s clear that he’s helping. However, no student talks to Hajun Yoon directly.

Because I know very well that even if I tell them, they won’t give me a proper answer. The image of Ha-Jun Yoon that general students, excluding those who are close to Ha-Jun Yoon, has is not a very good image.

A student who sleeps in class, makes up songs every day, and keeps a distance from others. That is Hajun Yoon’s image.

And Hajun Yoon was sleeping hard today too. Meanwhile, someone approached Hajun Yoon. The students who saw the student’s appearance made a similar expression.

In terms of popularity, he is the highest student among all students at Seolwon Arts High School, not in the Department of Silence, and the youngest member of Hwayangyeonhwa, the best idol group in Korea.

Jin So-hyang.

He treats everyone kindly with a smile, but uses polite language to create a wall. And it is already a very famous fact that Jin So-hyang and Yoon Ha-jun are close friends.

So much so that it even appeared on TV. Jin So-hyang soon approached Ha-jun Yoon and carefully shook his shoulder while he was sleeping.

“why?”

At that feeling, Hajun Yoon raised his head and asked Jin Sohyang. She answers that question with a Jin Sohyang smile.

“That’s what I asked for. “I brought it.”

“ah. thank you.”

“you’re welcome. But why did you suddenly ask for this?”

While saying that, Jin So-hyang held out a USB. Hajun Yoon took it and scratched his head. After thinking about what to say, I spoke honestly.

“Because of the stage direction.”

“Isn’t that enough?”

“It’s enough.”

Hajun Yoon said that and smiled bitterly. Hajun Yoon’s stage directing method relies on knowledge. He is not relying on experience like composing.

That’s because Hajun Yoon has very little experience on stage, and he’s only ever directed a stage himself. However, he was directing his stage based on the knowledge he had gathered with the intention of directing his own stage someday.

But it has clear limits.

In particular, the limitations of Ha-Jun Yoon’s stage direction will be clearly revealed when he plays against Ha-In Lim or Tae-Young Kim, who have innate showmanship.

In order to do something about it, Ha-Jun Yoon asked So-Hyang Jin to make a video of the concert. She is not only Jin Sohyang. From Seo Chae-rim to Won Seong-min.

He asked everyone he knew who might have something like this. And she is even thinking of writing down the favor she received from Lee Ji-yoon here.

Lee Ji-yoon has been working as an idol for a very long time and has even performed in musicals and various concerts. You will know her stage direction, movements, and choreography much better than Ha-jun Yoon.

“I have to prepare like that and come to school, is that okay?”

“Well, once the final stage starts, I plan to miss it as much as possible.”

“Aren’t you saying I’m being too proud?”

“What should I do?”

After saying that, Hajun Yoon yawned loudly. I’ve been having a hard time sleeping these days. You have to make a song, and you also have to watch stage videos to direct the stage.

Even three bodies would not be enough. I’m glad I didn’t write the lyrics myself. If I had had to write the lyrics myself, I would have really collapsed.

Currently, Won Seong-min is writing all the lyrics for the songs written by Ha-jun Yoon. To be more precise, Ha-Jun Yoon outsourced it.

Blue Aka’s songs are famous for their good lyrics. And the lyrics for Blue AKA are all written by Won Seong-min. Therefore, you can trust and leave it to us.

I actually really like the result.

Won Seong-min, who saw Ha-jun Yoon’s thoughts and the stories (stories from his past) that Ha-jun Yoon referenced while making the song, incorporated those stories into the lyrics as much as possible.

“This is the second round of the finals, right?”

“yes.”

“Hmm, well. Don’t push yourself too hard. “If Ha-Jun falls, he will have to run to him at any time, but there are people who will have a hard time with him.”

“yes. “There must be.”

Jin So-hyang purses her lips when Ha-jun Yoon answers as if it were obvious.

“······He probably isn’t the person you think he is right now.”

“huh?”

“no.”

“Ugh,” Jin So-hyang sighed. Then she looked dissatisfied. Maybe it’s because it’s the first time I’ve ever felt this good.

It is very difficult to know how much to express. Add to that the special nature of Jin So-hyang’s job, and it’s hard to get a handle on it.

As a result, I end up being hesitant whenever something important like this happens. I really don’t like that. I think I want to express myself a little more honestly.

‘I feel like the lies are only increasing.’

To hide emotions and to express them. If you keep lying, the only thing that increases is the number of lies.

If you continue like this, one day you will end up becoming that person who laughs and lies. Thinking about that, Jin Sohyang tried to smile.

Still, it was comforting to know that my smile wasn’t natural yet.

While Ha-jun Yoon was taking classes at school, Su-yeon Yoon was having a meeting for the second round of finals. Naturally, this meeting is not much different from the last meeting.

Only Soo-yeon Yoon speaks, and the others remain silent. No, there are some things that have changed. Unlike before, everyone is watching Yoon Soo-yeon.

Was the song I sang so shocking? So you’re keeping it in check? Soo-yeon Yoon was thinking that, but one of her team members cautiously turned to Soo-yeon Yoon and said,

“Do you have a song in mind?”

“No, nothing in particular.”

“Hmm, I see.”

The expressions of the team members turn into blatant disappointment at Yoon Soo-yeon’s words. Suyeon Yoon blinks at that sight. Oh, why are you disappointed?

At that time, mentor Jeong-yoon, who was attending the meeting, looked at Su-yeon Yoon and spoke in a voice full of expectation.

“By any chance, are there any more songs written by Suyeon’s older brother?”

“yes?”

“So, I was wondering if there was a song I could sing in the second round.”

As Jeongyoon said that, he smiled shyly. I know mentors shouldn’t say things like this, but I do. Can not help it. Aside from being a mentor, as a singer, I want to listen to more of the songs that Soo-yeon Yoon’s older brother made.

Also, as a mentor, I would like to use the song that Soo-yeon Yoon’s older brother wrote. Its unique sensibility and high-quality development boast the highest quality among the songs sung by the contestants in the first round of auditions.

Of course, there is a composer in Jeong Yun’s division as well. And the composer’s skills are clearly outstanding. However, the song written by Yoon Soo-yeon’s older brother has a different charm from the song written by that composer.

It’s not about who is better, the charm itself is completely different. Also, more than anything, the chemistry between that song and Yoon Soo-yeon is quite good.

Should I say that each brings out the other?

Should we say that we save each other?

When Yoon Soo-yeon brings out the potential of the song, the melody feels like it brings out Yoon Soo-yeon’s charm to the limit. Is this the synergy that comes from her siblings?

“Wait.”

In response to Jeongyoon’s request, Suyeon Yoon said so and looked at the expressions of the group members. The expressions of the team members changed from disappointment to anticipation.

Yoon Soo-yeon made an absurd expression at that sight.

‘Are these people keeping looking at me not because of my song but because of your song?’

Are you greedy for that song? No, if you think about it, it’s natural. If I sing my brother’s song, my chances of winning in the second round will increase.

The second final is a team competition. It’s important for the team to win, not for one person to be overrated. So, it is enough to keep the team in check starting from the round of 12, which begins in earnest after passing the second round of finals.

‘As expected, should I call him my brother?’

Wow. Should I say that this is good because my brother’s song received fair evaluation? Or should I be sad that I was buried in it?

Huh, then Yoon Soo-yeon sighed. Yes, because good things are good things. And anyway, only I will be able to sing my brother’s song after the round of 12 begins.

Let’s just move on for now. Sooyeon Yoon sends a message to Hajun Yoon. She received a call asking if she had a song to sing in the second round.

And soon a reply arrived. But there is no answer there. Instead of sending a reply, Hajun Yoon sent a song file.

“······Oh, first of all, I think my brother sent me a song. Would you like to hear it?”

“Good. “Let’s hear it quickly.”

As soon as Su-yeon Yoon finished speaking, Jeong-yoon answered. Su-yeon Yoon frowns at that sight. Wow, I think I like my mentor more than my group members.

It must be an illusion, right?

Soo-yeon Yoon downloads the file sent by Ha-jun Yoon and plays the song. Soon, a melody began to flow from Sooyeon Yoon’s cell phone.

There is no guide recording this time. Instead, Hajun Yoon sent the lyrics separately. So, the only thing coming out of the phone’s speaker right now is the melody.

But this melody is no joke. The organ that announces the beginning of the song is an organ, and if you listen to the first part, it sounds very sacred.

‘hymn? Or a chant?’

At first glance, that’s what you might think when you hear it. However, it is not just about becoming sacred. As the song develops, there is something about it that becomes more depressing.

Jeongyoon frowned while listening to the song. This song is like that and the last song is like that. It seems like a song optimized for the stage.

As if it was a song made to be sung on stage. Jeongyoon, who was thinking about that, lowered his head. Oh, no way. I guess that guy called Oppa made a special song for his younger brother?

I guess they just chose the song that best suited the stage out of the songs they had made and sent it to me. Mmmmm. Jeongyoon thinks so and nods her head.

Then he asked the group members, including Yoon Soo-yeon.

“How do you like this song?”

No answer came back.

But it was answered.

Because all the group members, including Sooyeon Yoon, were smiling with satisfaction.
