Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Kim Taeyeon tightly closed her eyes and frantically repeated the psychological cues from her idol training in her mind:
"As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed... As long as I'm not embarrassed..."

As a reserve female idol, overcoming embarrassment and singing and dancing in public is a basic professional skill.

The psychological suggestion that was extremely effective in the past now seemed to be completely ineffective.

No matter how many times Kim Taeyeon repeated it in her mind, the image of Lin Yuan holding the cloth strip appeared in her mind, instantly shattering all her efforts to remain calm.

It’s… so… shameful…!

It must feel sticky, right?

Would he feel sick?

Won't it have a weird taste?
How could it be tasteless?!
Every thought burned her nerves like a branding iron. Shame surged over her like a tide, almost suffocating her.

never mind!

Just let Lee Boo-jin drown me in the Han River!
I really don’t want to live anymore!

Just then, I heard the rustling sound of fabric rubbing against each other.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she secretly opened them a little:

Lin Yuan was carrying the clothes she had changed out of and throwing them into the clothes basket in the corner with a normal expression.

Even the piece of evidence was thrown in by him.

No frown, no disgust, not even a second glance.

It was as if it was just an ordinary piece of laundry, rather than "evidence" that made her feel ashamed and angry.

Footsteps moved toward the door.

Kim Taeyeon's heart suddenly tightened——

Is he leaving?

Just left like this?
So what should she do when Lee Boo-jin comes to "inspect" tomorrow morning?
Conflicting emotions tore at her:
I wanted him to leave and end this torturous embarrassment;
She was also afraid that he would leave and leave her alone to face Lee Boo-jin's "dealing".

——Do you want to pretend to just wake up?

——Should we call him?
Her fingertips unconsciously clenched the sheets.

"Are you going to continue pretending to sleep?"

Lin Yuan's voice rang out, shattering her disguise.

Sure enough, he knew I was pretending to sleep...

"Do you still want to return to Korea safely? What happened tonight needs to be faced formally and a solution must be found." Lin Yuan's voice continued to be heard.

After taking a deep breath, Kim Taeyeon finally opened her eyes and sat up in bed.

"If I know your secret, will I be dead?" she said in distress.

"Of course not, there is still a glimmer of hope." Lin Yuan walked to the bedside, pulled over a chair and sat down.

"I know. I just heard what President Li said. She said it to me.

"You said you could handle me, but in reality you were giving me an ultimatum, asking me to take the initiative and let you handle me." Kim Taeyeon said helplessly.

What does "get it done" mean?
In fact, it is not difficult to understand at all. The key word is of course "do".

Thinking of the meaning of this word, Kim Taeyeon felt her ears burning.

Beneath the shame, there is a hint of unwillingness and humiliation.

It’s not that she doesn’t like Lin Yuan, but in such a situation, being forced to do something always makes her feel like her dignity is being violated.

This feeling was so bad that it even overshadowed her good impression of Lin Yuan, making her instinctively want to refuse.

But the question is, are you qualified to say "no"?

Kim Taeyeon raised her head and looked at Lin Yuan seriously.

The man in front of me has a handsome face, a tall and strong figure, and his appearance is impeccable.

Even without considering his wealth and power, his superstar aura, or his inner qualities that have made him loved by fans all over the world, his appearance alone is enough to make countless women fall in love with him.

Sleeping with a man like this for one night, even if you get nothing, is definitely a gain.

If it were a different situation, Kim Taeyeon felt that she would not refuse, but she really didn't want to do it now.

So she asked, "Can you act out a play with me..."

She couldn't continue speaking halfway through.

Kim Taeyeon knew that if she asked Lin Yuan to cooperate with her in acting and pretend that he had been "taken care of" in front of Lee Boo Jin, he would definitely agree.

But the question is, does this work?

Kim Taeyeon doesn't think that Lee Boo-jin won't verify the authenticity in her own way.

She won't let anyone check my physical integrity, right?

So I can only poke it with my finger?

But even if this is done, it is impossible to hide it from Lee Boo-jin.

With her experience and ability to judge people, she would probably be able to expose me just by talking to me for a few minutes.

After all, what’s fake can never be real.

A feeling of frustration swept over Kim Taeyeon's heart, and she lowered her head in frustration.

"Does this matter make you feel wronged?" Lin Yuan asked.

Hearing this, Kim Taeyeon quickly explained: "No, no, no! I'm not wronged at all."

"I know I'm not worthy of you. Even if I become your lover, in everyone's eyes, I'll be climbing the ladder and gaining unimaginable benefits."

"But I don't want to have sex with you in a situation like this. It would make me feel like an object."

"I understand. Leave this matter to me. I will go and convince Li Fuzhen. Trust me and rest assured." Lin Yuan nodded and replied.

After saying that, he stood up from his chair and prepared to leave.

Seeing Lin Yuan's actions, Jin Taeyeon suddenly panicked:
She knew that if she missed tonight, she might never meet Lin Yuan again.

She didn't want to start this relationship at the wrong time, but she couldn't bear to miss this "bad fate".

The moment Lin Yuan turned around, Kim Taeyeon reached out and grabbed Lin Yuan's hand.

"Don't leave."

"Ok?"

“It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that I still have a dream that has not been fulfilled.

I'm afraid that everything will change after I have a relationship with you."

Kim Taeyeon was about to cry.

She felt that her ability to express herself was terrible.

How can I tell him that I actually like him?

I’m just afraid that once I find a place of comfort, I’ll no longer have the courage to move forward on that path.

This road seems hard and tiring to outsiders, so what's so good about it?
But she just couldn't bear to let it go. This was her youth, her dream, something she had woven bit by bit through countless days of sweat.

Lin Yuan...he can't understand how I feel, right?
Jin Taiyan looked at Lin Yuan in front of him. There was no trace of mockery in his eyes. Instead, he said sincerely:
"I can understand. After all, you've invested so much effort and time into this, it must be the most important and precious thing in your heart.

The Korean entertainment industry is very cruel and requires you to work hard. It's not like in Europe and America where singers can release albums while dating."

These words made Kim Taeyeon feel warm in her heart. She didn't expect that Lin Yuan actually understood.

There was a feeling surging in her heart, perhaps because she had drunk a lot of wine tonight, she felt that this feeling seemed even more difficult to suppress.

"It must have been hard to be a trainee these years, especially as a trainee for SM Entertainment's super project - Girls' Generation." Lin Yuan asked.

Hearing this, Kim Taeyeon felt her nose suddenly sore and tears almost fell.

How can it not be hard?
When the plan was first announced, the number of applicants exceeded 40000.

After initial screening of resumes and videos, only 3000 people were qualified for interviews.

This was followed by multiple rounds of interviews and elimination:

90% of the candidates were eliminated in the first round of interviews, leaving about 300 people.

After the second round of singing and dancing tests, about 150 people remained.

After that comes the third round. After 3-6 months of training, 50 prospective trainees are finally selected.

Kim Taeyeon still remembers how happy she was when she was finally included in the list of 50 prospective trainees after the training camp.

She thought that as long as she continued with her training, she would be able to debut safely and that the hard times were over.

But I didn’t expect that this was just the beginning of a painful journey!
For the next three years, she underwent high-intensity training for more than 12 hours every day.

Office workers only work 8 hours a day, but she works 12 hours a day. She has to do super high-intensity training and there is absolutely no room for slacking off, and she works all year round.

After finishing the training, they still have no personal time, but must obey the company's work and rest schedule and other arrangements, and are under surveillance in the dormitory life 24 hours a day.

In Kim Taeyeon's heart, although these arduous trainings are torturous, what is even more suffocating is the monthly elimination system.

At the end of each month, there will be a comprehensive assessment covering singing skills, dancing, appearance, variety show sense, language ability, etc.

No matter how hard you work, if you rank in the bottom few, you will have no choice but to leave.

All the efforts and sweat in the past have been wasted.

The elimination system was like a whip, constantly whipping her and the other girls around her, forcing them to use up every ounce of their strength just to persevere to the end.

Now, all the hard work has finally paid off and I have reached the end of my trainee journey.

But when Kim Taeyeon looked around, she found that there were only 9 people left, including her.

In fact, it doesn’t mean that the girls who were eliminated are not excellent. Sometimes they are just a little bit unlucky.

Kim Taeyeon still remembers that among the girls who were eliminated, there was a Chinese girl named Zhang Liyin.

What a shame, she sang so beautifully.

Kim Taeyeon sighed and said to Lin Yuan, "It's really hard. Sometimes I don't know how I got through it."

"Can you tell me? I'm quite curious." Lin Yuan paused, then continued, "Don't worry if I'm trying to accuse President Li of something bad. I promised him I wouldn't interfere with SM's operations. You can talk without worry."

Hearing Lin Yuan say this, Kim Taeyeon burst out laughing: "I was hoping that you could help me punish President Li and let us vent our anger."

"Didn't you see him drunk tonight? Are you relieved?" Lin Yuan asked.

When Kim Taeyeon thought about how Lee Soo Man drank one glass after another at the dinner table, not even showing any sign of relief even though his face was flushed, she suddenly felt relieved.

But then she thought again and felt that President Lee Soo-man was so wise. He got himself drunk early and avoided a huge trouble. Unlike her, he did not fall into the trap foolishly.

It turns out that old ginger is still spicy. I’m so angry!
"Tell me about your trainee days. I'm quite curious," said Lin Yuan.

"They are all trivial and boring things, but since you want to hear them, I will pick one to tell you." Kim Taeyeon thought for a moment and said:
"Five days before the monthly assessment, I discovered I was three kilograms overweight. You know, weight is a veto factor."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Then you must have been eating secretly? Didn't you control your mouth?"

"No! I've always been very restrained!" Kim Taeyeon protested, "I was still growing at the time, and I don't know why, but my weight suddenly went up a lot."

"The monthly assessment was coming up soon, and if I didn't lose weight, I was doomed. So for a few days, I only ate half an apple a day."

Kim Taeyeon found that when she said this, Lin Yuan frowned and seemed to be worried about her.

"That won't do, right? How can you only eat half an apple when you exercise so much every day?" Lin Yuan said.

"Well, I was indeed dizzy and hungry, and I also had to practice dancing intensively. On the third day, while dancing, I suddenly felt dizzy and passed out." Kim Taeyeon nodded.

Seeing Lin Yuan's distressed look, Kim Taeyeon felt an irrepressible joy in her heart.

But she didn't want to bring this negative emotion to Lin Yuan, so she immediately said, "It's nothing serious. I just needed to get some glucose solution in the infirmary. Later, before the monthly assessment, I also lost some weight and barely passed."

"The training is really hard. Is there anything happy?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Happy things?" Kim Taeyeon thought for a moment. "Of course there are. For example, I really like taking vocal lessons with Teacher The One. He praised me as the best student he had ever taught. Every time he praised me, I was very happy."

"By the way, you may not know who The One teacher is. His name is..." Kim Taeyeon explained.

"His name is Zheng Shunyuan, and he is a very good singer." Lin Yuan continued.

"Wow! You actually know Teacher The One? If I tell him this news, he will be so happy. He is your die-hard fan!" Kim Taeyeon said in surprise.

Lin Yuan nodded. He knew The One Jung Joon-won.

At this time, Zheng Chunyuan was not famous yet, he was just a vocal teacher who was widely recognized for his achievements.

The fact that he was hired by SM Entertainment, the number one entertainment company in South Korea, as a vocal teacher to teach trainees proves how strong his ability is.

Members of SM Entertainment's groups TVXQ, Super Junior, Girls' Generation, and EXO have all received vocal training from Jung Sun-won.

But what really made Jung Sun-won famous was his participation in the Korean version of "I Am a Singer 2012" in 2.

This is the strongest season of "I Am a Singer" in South Korea, with many talented singers gathered:
Korea's legendary devil - Lee Eun-mi;

Korean rock godfather - Im Jae-beom;

R&B Queen – Gummy;

National Lyrical King - Kim Beom-soo;

The ageless fairy, Park Jung-hyun, who was rated as a top S-level female singer by A-rui at Station B;

……

Zheng Chunyuan defeated this group of monstrous opponents and finally became the king of singers.

He proved his strength with his undisputed singing.

It is worth mentioning that Zheng Shunyuan is not a gifted functional monster. On the contrary, his voice is thin and lacks thickness and power.

Under such circumstances, he was still able to surpass a number of veteran Korean singers, relying on his extremely abnormal singing skills. It can be said that he maxed out all his skill points.

Later, Zheng Chunyuan also participated in the third season of "I Am a Singer" broadcast by Mango TV in China in 2015, competing on the same stage with singers such as Sun Nan, Han Hong and Li Jian.

Despite the language barrier, he insisted on singing Chinese songs, which won him the love of a large number of domestic audiences. He eventually won third place in the away game.

Zheng Shunyuan, who has seen countless outstanding singers in his career, still thinks that Kim Taeyeon is his best student. The two have also collaborated on many songs, which shows Kim Taeyeon's talent in singing.

With such great talent, and having gone through such a bumpy road for her dream, how could she be willing to give up?
Lin Yuan nodded, and he understood Kim Taeyeon's reluctance even more. (End of this chapter)
