Chapter 604 The strength that can make a debut
If iu and Taeyeon are the top singing skills in idols, then this girl, Endi, already has the strength of a singer.
That's right, Taeyeon is working on the direction that she is a singer, not an idol. So in Kim Jong-kwon's opinion, Jung Eun-gi is completely an alternative to him at first glance, a singer hidden in the idol. This is why after listening to Eun-gi's singing, Kim Jong-kwon was so confident that even if she can't do anything except singing, she can still make her debut by relying on her strength. This is why, just passing an assessment, Lao Hong and several senior executives directly decided to sign her and let her debut directly!
Now, Kim Jong-kwon discovered another gem that was glowing, that is the girl named Ailee in front of her. Her European and American diva-style voice and singing aura, and her black-style singing spirit were perfectly presented to her.
This is an artist who can make his debut immediately, and in terms of singing skills, even Endi is not her opponent. Undoubtedly, this girl named Ailee is better. However, considering the age issue, these gaps are not big. If Endi is also big with Ailee, it may be comparable, and even if it is a little bit beyond it!
Kim Jong-kwon touched his chin and thought it was quite interesting. When he first met Taeyeon, he thought Taeyeon's singing skills were amazing. He was definitely at the top of the pyramid in idols. Then IU debuted, which made Kim Jong-kwon's eyes lit up again and began to cultivate this little guy.
Later, I met Zheng Eun-di, a fake fan who made him very "painful", which directly refreshed his understanding of the younger generation's singing skills. What was most surprising was that she had never systematically studied before. It was rare to have such a height by relying on her own talent and her own understanding. Especially after studying in the Conservatory for a period of time, her strength was firmly in the position of singers, not idols.
Finally, today, Ailee, who came to me and recommended herself, is undoubtedly the best among the few people in terms of singing skills. And she is not old, at least she is definitely not older than him. She is just over 20 years old. It is really rare to have this strength. No wonder she dares to have such confidence to recommend herself!
Whenever Kim Jong-kwon's impression is fixed, a stronger one will appear to refresh his cognition. It feels like he is playing an online game, and the more he encounters it later, the more powerful he encounters.
This matter is interesting
The 5 minutes have arrived, but the music has not yet ended, and Kim Jong-kwon seemed to have forgotten the 5-minute countdown. In fact, the 5-minute limit is just so casual. When the girl named Ailee started singing, Kim Jong-kwon already recognized her, and now she just let her finish singing in full out of politeness.
After she finished singing, she looked at Kim Jong Kwon with a bright look. She did show unprecedented enthusiasm and seriousness in the song just now, and it was basically the best she could do now. If this doesn't work, then she really wanted to ask, are Korean singers all monsters?
"If it's convenient, can you tell me your age?" Kim Jong-kwon pondered for a moment and asked, and he still needs to confirm what he should confirm.
"I will introduce myself again. My name is Ailee, and my Korean name is Li Yijin. In more than a month, it will be my 23rd birthday. I was born and raised in the United States and am inspiring to become a singer. I also uploaded videos of my performances on youtube. If my senior is interested, I can search for it for me." Ailee seemed to have opened up the conversation and talked endlessly.
If he is about to have his 23rd birthday, he is now 22 years old? However, the algorithm in Korea is a bit special, but it is nothing. It is as young as he imagined, and it should be about the same age as Taeyeon and the others.
"Once up in 1989?" Kim Jong Kwon suddenly interrupted her.
"Yes, May 1989." Ailee replied immediately. She is becoming more and more confident now, because if Kim Jong-kwon did not approve of her, she would not ask questions, but would directly drive her away. How could she not be excited to see that the ideal she pursued had a chance to realize.
"Um" Kim Jong-kwon nodded and thought to himself that he was a relative of the same age as Taeyeon, and if An Yue-in counted, this ailee was not as big as Taeyeon, so I really couldn't tell.
"Did I pass the assessment?" ailee asked in a suffocating manner.
Kim Jong-kwon glanced at her and saw her urgent and expectant look, making him laugh.
"Well, you have passed, but don't be happy for now. I don't know whether you can stay or not. I'm not the president." Kim Jong-kwon said this on purpose. In fact, he could solve such a small matter by saying hello to So Ji-seok. But who made him feel bad today? So Ailee instantly felt what it means to fall from the clouds to mid-air.
If Kim Jong-kwon said, then whether she can fly up again or fall completely will see her subsequent attempt, and Ailee began to cheer herself up again.
"Okay, come with me now. I have something to ask you." Kim Jong-kwon turned around and left. Ailee quickly picked up his phone and followed him.
The front desk receptionist who witnessed the whole process looked at the backs of the two with envy, and I don’t know if he envys Ailee’s strength or envys her for being so close to her idol.
After going up, Kim Jong-kwon was not in a hurry to take her to see So Ji-sup, but took her back to her own lounge first. As one of the only three artists in the company, it would not be too much to enjoy a separate lounge.
"Sit down, drink something? coffeeortea?" After coming in, he looked at Ailee's uneasy look, Kim Jong-kwon suddenly remembered the joke, so he asked in English with a smile.
Ailee, who was a little silly smiling, asked for coffee directly, and she was indeed a little thirsty.
"Aren't the president here?" Ailee, who almost got scalded to death after taking a sip of coffee, asked while slapping her tongue.
Kim Jong-kwon looked so stupid. He dared to say that she was stupid, but she was brave. Well, it should be the latter.
"No hurry, this is my lounge. I'm curious about it and want to ask you." Kim Jong-kwon's originally irritable mood diverted her attention, but now she is very curious about her.
"Okay, senior." Although ailee grew up in the United States, she still knows some etiquette in China. When she just returned to China, she suffered a lot and was scolded a lot because of this.
However, she is indeed a Korean, and even her nationality is South Korea. So after a while of life, she has basically adapted to the national conditions of South Korea. From harsh etiquette to speechless prices, all of this has been almost digested by her.
