Chapter 11

When Yuli asked, Pani said, "He's the one who found Taeyeon's phone, the Seoul University student we met this morning. The Brad Pitt in Sunny's mouth, the Gandhi in Hyo-yeon's mouth. Of course, he is also our 'surgeon' in our hearts."

Pani's words made everyone look at the video of Lee Yuhao again. Choi Sooyoung then said, "This young man is quite handsome, isn't he? He sings so well? Is this song written by him? I don't think I've ever heard this song before."

Pani also shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I didn't even know about his singing skills. We went to get the phone, not to a singing room. I think this song is probably his own creation? After all, he is so talented, he can tell us such a profound story with a small one."

"Speaking and songwriting are two different things. Even if Senior Yoo Jae-suk has good speaking skills, it doesn't mean he can write a song."

Taeyeon also smiled and said, "What are you arguing about? Just call and ask."

Hyo-yeon immediately said, "Right, Pani, don't you have that person's phone number? Have you deleted it? Call and ask if the song is his creation. If he is so talented, just ask him to write a song for us. Hmm... the quality should be about the same as 'Like Being Shot.'"

Hyo-yeon's excessive request made Pani's forehead turn black. Not just Pani, everyone except Hyo-yeon, who blurted out such a bold statement, had their foreheads turn black.

"Hyo-yeon, do you think good songs are like cabbages in the market, everywhere?"

Hyo-yeon, however, smiled and urged Pani, "Call him and ask if the song is his own creation."

Pani nodded and took out his phone to call Lee Yuhao. After a while, the call was answered, and Pani asked, "Doctor, what are you doing?"

On the other end of the phone, a 'huhu~~~' sound came, "I'm eating ramen. Why are you calling me at this time? Did you want to treat me to a meal? If you had said so earlier, I wouldn't have eaten ramen. I cooked two big packs..."

Hearing Lee Yuhao's words, Pani laughed, "Hehe, what meal? I just want to ask you if you uploaded a song you sang on YouTube?"

"Yeah, what about it? Don't tell me you guys from S.M. want to buy it?"

"What, buy the song? No, I just want to know if you wrote the song yourself?"

"Huhu~~~ Hmm... I wrote it myself, what's up?"

"You can write songs? That's surprising. I listened to your 'Like Being Shot,' it's very good. I think you'll be famous by tomorrow morning." At this point, Sunny interjected, "No need to wait until tomorrow, he's already famous. 'Like Being Shot' has already surpassed 100,000 views."

"Are you... huhu~~~ in the dorm? I can hear other people's voices."

"Lee Yuhao, can you put down the ramen for a moment? The sound of you slurping makes me hungry."

"I... if I put it down for too long, it will get mushy. Just tell me what you want. I'm listening... huhu~~~"

"Nothing, just eat. I just wanted to ask if the song is your own creation."

"Oh, just that. Got it. The song is mine."

"Okay... bye." After saying this, Pani hung up the phone. He felt a bit upset that he wasn't taken seriously by Lee Yuhao.

In fact, at this moment, many entertainment companies were trying to find out who the singer of 'Like Being Shot' was. As Sunny said, Lee Yuhao didn't have to wait until tomorrow; he was already famous, completely famous.

CCM's Kim Gwang-soo was also watching the video of Lee Yuhao singing, "This Lee Yuhao... sigh~~~ looks like there's going to be some competition. If I had known, I would have signed him first. Such talent... it's indeed surprising. He even wrote a new song, and it's not inferior to the one he performed in front of us."

Kim Young-min was also watching the video and said to his assistant, "Find him."

JYP's Park Jin-young also saw the video, "This kid is quite talented. The song is probably his own creation. His singing skills are good, and his appearance is also very good. If he comes to our company, I will train him to be the next RAIN."

Yang Hyun-suk, looking at the video, said, "His skills are good, but they don't match our company's style. If the song is his own creation... hehe, G-Dragon has a rival."

At this point, someone left a comment under the video, "I know the person who sang this song. He is my classmate. Name: Lee Yuhao, Height: 183CM, Weight: unknown. 11th place in the 2004 national college entrance exam, currently a fourth-year student in the economics department at Seoul University, the first lead singer of the school's music club. Current residence: Cheongbuk-dong, details unknown."

This message made all the talent scouts laugh. It was truly a case of 'searching high and low without success, but success comes unexpectedly.'

At this moment, Lee Yuhao still didn't know what he would face the next day.

......

The next morning, Lee Yuhao got up, planning to go to the school library to kill some time, then wait for the coffee shop to open to use the internet to check how his song was doing. But just as he stepped out, his phone rang, a call from "Park Soo-yeon." Lee Yuhao answered, "Injeong, why are you calling me so early?"

"Lee Yuhao, do you have time now? Come to our company, our CEO wants to meet you."

Hearing this, Lee Yuhao recalled the phone call with Pani yesterday. Someone had said, 'No need to wait until tomorrow...' Lee Yuhao knew he had succeeded. He lied to Park Soo-yeon on the phone, "I can't right now, I have a required class this morning. You know, I'm about to graduate, so credits are very important to me."

"Oh, I see. Then come to our company after school."

"Okay... I'll call you when I'm done."

After hanging up, Lee Yuhao was in a great mood. He knew he had succeeded. Perhaps if he went to school now, there would be countless talent scouts waiting to invite him. Lee Yuhao immediately returned home, took out his computer, and kissed it, "You're really my lucky star." Then he put it back at home. There was no need to bring the computer to check the performance of his song, as Park Soo-yeon's call had already said it all.

With an excited heart, Lee Yuhao walked toward the school... When he arrived at the entrance of Seoul University, just as he had guessed, many talent scouts were already waiting. As soon as he arrived, these talent scouts started handing him their business cards, "Hello, Lee Yuhao, do you have time now? Can we talk?"

"Lee Yuhao, I'm a talent scout from S.M. Entertainment, I want to talk to you."

"Lee Yuhao, I'm a talent scout from JYP Entertainment..."

At this moment, a man handed Lee Yuhao a business card, "Hello, Lee Yuhao, I'm Kim Tae-sung, the CEO of TS Entertainment. Can we talk?"

Lee Yuhao had never heard of 'TS,' but seeing that the CEO had come in person, he could see some sincerity. Besides, Lee Yuhao also knew a specific principle: 'Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.' It's better to help someone in need than to add to someone's glory. "TS? New company?"

TS Kim Tae-sung nodded at Lee Yuhao, "Yes, we are a new company that was established this year. If you come to our company, we will do our best to train you."

Lee Yuhao smiled and nodded, "Oh? I need to think about it. I'll call you when I have time, and we can talk in detail. But now I need to go to class, sorry."

Hearing that Lee Yuhao was leaving, the talent scouts started handing him their business cards.

Lee Yuhao took the business cards, nodded at the talent scouts, and entered the school. He found a quiet place to sit and started sorting through the business cards he had received: S.M., JYP, DSP, CUBE, WOOLLIM, PLEDIS...

However, when Lee Yuhao took the last business card, it read 'LOEN Entertainment.' Seeing this, Lee Yuhao smiled. 'LOEN' is a record distribution company, a subsidiary of South Korea's largest telecommunications company, SK Telecom, and also owns the Korean music entertainment website MelOn. The company's background is huge, but the only drawback is that none of its current artists are well-known. Currently, there is only one lukewarm artist, 'Zia.'

Oh... right, in the future, there will be a very famous 'IU,' but she is still in the preparation stage and hasn't burst onto the scene yet.

A brokerage company with both strong hardware and software, yet without a well-known artist, is indeed a laughingstock in the industry. They have connections, networks, money, and background, but they lack the people, the artists who can carry the company. This is also LOEN's greatest regret.

Holding the 'LOEN' business card, Lee Yuhao smiled and took out his phone to call...

If Lee Yuhao had to choose between a new company, TS, and LOEN, he would unhesitatingly choose LOEN. The reason is very simple: he is not clear about TS's financial situation and network, but LOEN's strength is right there for everyone to see.
