Chapter 28

Lee Sun-gyu forcibly took the computer back, and this time did not give it to him again. Helpless, Moon Jung-woo and Lee Sun-gyu went to SW together. When they arrived at the practice room, Moon Jung-woo was not sleepy at all.

So, let's start the training. After all, no matter how Moon Jung-woo and Lee Su-yeong's conversation goes in a month, the training plan will proceed. SW is, after all, an entertainment company that produces idols. As long as he is not specifically trained to debut as an actor, he will have to learn all the skills that idols should learn, such as singing, dancing, pronunciation, physical training, instruments, and etiquette.

Lee Sun-gyu first took Moon Jung-woo to meet Lee Su-yeong. The two met, and for the moment, they didn't talk much. However, seeing that Moon Jung-woo had not slept all night, Lee Su-yeong was quite pleased. As Lee Sun-gyu thought, in Korea, it is rare to like a foreign star, especially an Asian one, in the era of rapidly growing Korean Wave. Unless they are extremely influential and famous, like Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-fat, and Jet Li.

Now, seeing a teenager like Moon Jung-woo, who, after contact, did not reject it, could be considered a fortunate coincidence. Whether or not a trainee is fighting for their dreams, at least at the beginning, they must have some aspirations. Many kids enter the entertainment industry because they are fans of HOT, and become trainees in the company because they are fans of SES.

However, Moon Jung-woo is now a trainee, but he is quite different from the others. He was not much influenced by Korean entertainment culture from a young age, and it was easy for him to resist the brainwashing of Korea's general entertainment culture protection policies and accept everything. He was attracted to it. For now, this is a good thing.

Lee Su-yeong also had some understanding of Moon Jung-woo's character. To run away from home at the age of thirteen, penniless, and to oppose the entire family, such determination and perseverance meant that he would not give up halfway. Once he set a goal, he would definitely follow through. Lee Su-yeong looked at Moon Jung-woo with satisfaction and rejected Lee Sun-gyu's idea of introducing all the teachers to him. He just instructed Lee Sun-gyu to take him to the dance teacher. The rest could be discussed after a month.

After Lee Sun-gyu took Moon Jung-woo away, Lee Su-yeong sat on the side. Not mentioning other thirteen-year-old boys, just talking about his own youngest daughter. Before Moon Jung-woo appeared, Lee Su-yeong was already very proud. Among his three daughters, the two older ones aside, this youngest daughter was always exceptionally sensible. At this age, other children might get into fights, misbehave, or chase stars, but this daughter had already started as a trainee in his company and even helped manage the company's affairs.

Although she was young, she managed the trainees very well. She helped solve various psychological and practical problems for the trainees in private, and even the dormitory became harmonious because of her presence. Don't underestimate such actions; trainees are the future. Many entertainment companies continue to persist because they have good trainees.

The youngest daughter had no bad habits and a generous personality. She was decisive in her actions, a source of pride for him. However, when Moon Jung-woo came, the contrast was truly stark. Of course, this was not to belittle his daughter, but to be objective. In terms of mindset, personality, talent, cultivation, and demeanor, he was almost flawless.

Moreover, he had a certain charm that attracted people's attention and made them care about him. Especially his smile, which was even more captivating and made people feel close. He was still young, but as he grew up and continued his training, he might really achieve something. Even if he didn't, he certainly wouldn't fade into obscurity.

While Lee Su-yeong was praising Moon Jung-woo, he didn't expect that Moon Jung-woo was criticizing him to his daughter. In the afternoon, he had to go to school to register and ask why it had to be Jeonju. A six-hour round trip by car, was this to go to school or what? How long would it take to go once? How early would he have to wake up?!

But one word from Lee Su-yeong made Moon Jung-woo lose his temper. This was the family's decision. He was not allowed to attend any school in Seoul, even if it was a bit farther away. As for other matters, that was not their concern. Indeed, it was the family's style. They didn't choose closer places like Goyang or Incheon, but specifically a place in the southern part of Korea, Jeonju, to test his determination as a trainee.

However, the location was chosen by Lee Su-yeong. What was his intention?! If he had chosen Incheon, Goyang, or Suwon, could they really come over? But now, no matter what he said, it was useless. He could understand some of Lee Su-yeong's thoughts. Since he was so good at studying, he didn't need to attend classes regularly.

The Korean entertainment industry is so developed, and there are many children who are trainees. Each school has some special cases. If they really become successful and debut as stars, they can be invited back to the school to give lectures, which indirectly promotes the school. Moreover, Moon Jung-woo's academic performance was also good, so he didn't need to worry about his grades.

So, it was better to be as far away as possible, as long as the family didn't find a reason to bring him back. Although Moon Jung-woo knew the family wouldn't do that, at least not openly. But to make Lee Su-yeong feel at ease, he didn't mind. After all, he didn't have to walk there. By car, he could go early and return early.

When they arrived at the practice room, the other trainees had already started practicing. A female dance teacher was leading the trainees in dance, and standing on the side, guiding them, was the person who had praised Moon Jung-woo's humor and was called "Jung-yong oppa" by Lee Sun-gyu, Kang Jung-yong. He was 27 years old, a professional dancer, and often danced as a backup for various idols. He was experienced, skilled, and versatile...

"Alright, alright." Glaring at the smirking Lee Sun-gyu, Kang Jung-yong shook his head and said, "Are you doing my job interview for me?" Indeed, those words were just what Lee Sun-gyu had said offhandedly.

Moon Jung-woo bowed and greeted, "Teacher."

Kang Jung-yong quickly waved his hand, "The title 'teacher' is not to be used lightly. You and Sun-gyu can just call me 'oppa.'"

Moon Jung-woo nodded, "Yes, Jung-yong oppa."

Kang Jung-yong looked Moon Jung-woo up and down and then at Lee Sun-gyu, "Has the CEO decided? He's been here for two months and only started training today. Looks like I'll have to give it my all."

Lee Sun-gyu nodded, "I've decided to entrust the dance training to oppa. We'll discuss the rest later."

At this, Lee Sun-gyu turned his head, looking puzzled, "Why isn't Min-hyuk here? Does he have a class today?"

Kang Jung-yong shook his head, "He left yesterday and won't be coming back."

Lee Sun-gyu was taken aback, "Left? Why did he leave?"

Kang Jung-yong glanced at Moon Jung-woo but didn't answer. He patted Moon Jung-woo's shoulder, "Follow me, let me see your physical condition... Sun-gyu, go practice."

Min-hyuk, mentioned here, was one of the two trainees at SW. One had already been driven away by Lee Su-yeong. The other, probably seeing Moon Jung-woo there, lost confidence and left. SW was not small, but it was not large either. Not all trainees were without ambition.

There are so many people in the world, each with their own thoughts. People coming and going is normal. Lee Sun-gyu was not stupid and was even more aware of such matters than Moon Jung-woo. Seeing Kang Jung-yong's reaction, he already understood. He didn't mind and stepped up behind the other female trainees, following the teacher to start practicing.

Moon Jung-woo followed Kang Jung-yong to the side. Kang Jung-yong circled around Moon Jung-woo, patted his body, squatted down to pinch his legs, and then stood up after a while, asking, "Have you practiced dance before?"

Moon Jung-woo shook his head, "I learned a few times from videos, but it was hit or miss."

Kang Jung-yong nodded, "So, you don't have much experience... What kind of exercise do you usually do? Are your muscles stretched out?"

After asking this last question, Kang Jung-yong patted his head. This was not a technical term, but people who specialized in sports understood it. Moon Jung-woo, lacking experience, might not have understood. Just as he was about to explain, Moon Jung-woo suddenly lifted his leg and kicked the wall. His head easily rested on his thigh, forming a side split. His legs were perfectly straight against the wall, one supporting his body and the other extending over his head.

"Jung-yong oppa, I practiced Taekwondo when I was six... My muscles are already stretched out."
