Peninsula: My mentor Kim Tae-yeon

Chapter 84 Six Small Yao (9k)

"So, when did you reconnect with everyone, unnie?"

On the way back to the hotel, Liz seemed to have thought of something and turned to ask Jin Qiutian.

"After we came down from Niushou Mountain, I discussed this matter with everyone in the group chat," Jin Qiutian said with a smile.

Currently, everyone is satisfied with this result; it's the best possible outcome.

"Why didn't I see it in the group chat?" Liz asked, puzzled.

The person and the soul in the front row immediately perked up their ears.

"Because you're not here, it's just the five of us," Jin Qiutian said with a smile.

"Huh?" Liz was stunned. They weren't even trying to hide it from people anymore?

"Why are there small groups of five people who don't include me?"

"Everyone has their own five-person group chat when they're not in it, and don't you guys also have your own group chat when I'm not in it?" Jin Qiutian said to Liz with a half-smile.

Liz looked away guiltily.

this----

It really does.

"Initially, we created this small group chat to surprise the members on their birthdays, and it's never been disbanded. Have you forgotten?"

You can also mutter about this person behind their back when you're arguing.

Jin Qiutian silently added in her mind, "It's only because Su Xia is still here, otherwise she would have said it out loud."

Girl group members aren't robots operating on a standardized program; they do have arguments in private, and when they do, they inevitably gossip behind each other's backs.

"Oh my, I remember now." Only after Jin Qiutian said this did Liz recall the original purpose of creating these small groups.

"We're here." Su Xia lightly pressed the accelerator and turned to say to the two of them.

The two got out of the car one after the other, and the passenger window slowly rolled down.

"Hey~ Su Xia oppa, be careful on your way back." Liz leaned down and waved goodbye to Su Xia through the open passenger window.

"Yes, you should all get some rest too."

"I'll edit the pictures and post them on Instagram when I get back. I've also made arrangements with the members. I might need you to respond on the Chinese internet, Attorney Su," Jin Qiutian said, bowing slightly to Su Xia.

"No problem, let me know after you send it."

Su Xia did not register an Instagram account, or rather, she did not openly register an official account, so her response was also on Weibo.

Goodbye, have a safe journey.

Goodnight, Su Xia oppa!

"Bye-Bye."

After watching the two enter the hotel lobby, Su Xia drove away.

When Su Xia was the only one left in the car, Kim Tae-yeon spoke.

"Since we've already come this far, let's broaden the range of celebrities featured in the videos. Let's get in touch with more girl groups, so that even if we get caught on camera, we'll have plenty of ways to explain ourselves, just in case."

"On the other hand, it can also weaken the label I have on you."

"You're really persistent about this." Su Xia sighed. Kim Tae-yeon really was trying her best to get rid of the Kim Tae-yeon label.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll tell Sister Ximin about it when I get to the dorm."

"Hmm." Kim Tae-yeon nodded. "My top recommendations are LESSERAFIM and NMIXX, followed by (G)IDLE and ITZY."

""

"What about Aespa?" Su Xia asked in surprise.

If we remove NewJeans, who is deeply embroiled in the power struggle within Hybe, then there's still aespa.

"SM won't budge." Kim Tae-yeon pouted; she knew all too well what kind of company her own was.

"In SM's eyes, you're just a lucky guy who got ahead by riding on Taeyeon's coattails. You still want to keep riding on my Aespa? Dream on!" Kim Taeyeon said sarcastically, mimicking that arrogant and disdainful tone.

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Su Xia blinked, somewhat skeptical.

"The current SM management is only good at internal strife; they have no business acumen whatsoever," Kim Tae-yeon shook her head. "I might as well be in charge."

I could do it too, I say.

"Then why is NMIXX a top choice instead of GirlA? GirlA has Song Yuqi."

"(G)IDLE is good, but their company isn't as easy to talk to as JYP." Kim Taeyeon sighed. "The reason I listed NMIXX and LESSERAFIM as my first choices is because, as you know, LESSERAFIM's official account is practically a wishing well for Chinese fans. Collaborating with them will make it much easier to gain popularity."

"NMIXX and ITZY, who were chosen second, are both affiliated with JYP. JYP's market development for the new generation of girl groups focuses on East Asia. ITZY's recent strategy has also begun to lean towards China and Japan. If a Chinese blogger with such a large following comes to JYP for a collaboration, they will agree very readily."

Kim Tae-yeon gave her reasons one by one.

"What about TWICE?" Su Xia asked again. "I remember TWICE was JYP's top girl group, right?"

"TWICE and IVE are not groups from the same era, so there's no need to get involved," Kim Tae-yeon denied the idea. "Just focus on fifth-generation girl groups. The issues of previous girl groups are complicated, so there's no need to get too involved."

"You're complicated too?" Su Xia said with a smile.

"Me?" Kim Tae-yeon laughed. "Most groups don't have as many problems as I do alone."

"Tsk, I'm really unlucky to have such a terrible teacher like you."

"You'll have to suffer the misfortune, but I can't leave."

"Sigh, life..."

The symposium broadcast live by the Bar Association eventually made it to the top of the trending searches after an afternoon of discussion, although it was only at the bottom, overshadowed by related topics about celebrities and artists.

The reason for this wasn't that the content Su Xia discussed with the seniors was particularly excellent, but rather—

#Su Xia's photo in golden autumn#

#IVE member's comment on Kim Qiu-eul's Instagram#

#The relationship between Su Xia and IVE#

Who says only humans can ride the wave of trending topics?

Even a glossary entry is fine!

Back at the hotel, Jin Qiutian quickly edited the photos and posted them on Instagram, along with pictures of herself and Su Xia, as well as various photos of herself with Liz and the three of them together, with the caption, "My trip to Nanjing has come to a successful end. Thank you for your hospitality, Lawyer Su Xia [heart][heart][heart]".

Liz forwarded it at lightning speed.

The members of IVE also left comments under this post in the golden autumn.

—yujin—an (An Youzhen): Damn it, I want to hang out with Attorney Su too! [Frustrated]

reinyourheart (Naoi Rei): Waaaaah, I want to go too! [crying]

for—everyoung10 (Zhang Yuanying): Hmph [Image]

Zhang Yuanying photoshopped Jin Qiutian's head into a picture of Su Xia and Jin Qiutian, creating a cyberpunk-style photo.

eeseooes (Li Rui): Hmph [Photo]

The famous imitator of the British, Li Xianrui, followed the same philosophy as her sister and photoshopped her own picture onto the image.

"I didn't expect Attorney Su and Liu Fu to be so close?"

"I thought Attorney Su was just close to Chestnut."

"Xiao Yuan and Rui Bao are so funny, hahaha!"

"Are those fans from a certain group who said Attorney Su and Chestnut were secretly dating still talking? If having photos together means they're in a relationship, then isn't Attorney Su dating two people right now?"

"Tak Tae-yeon: Huh? Should I hug one on each side?"

"Attorney Su: To my left is Senior Qiutian, to my right is Chestnut, that's life~~"

"Damn it, I'm in Nanjing! That darn boss makes me work overtime, otherwise I would definitely have run into Chestnut and Senior Autumn!!! [Frustrated]"

"Hehe [photo] I met him."

"Is this the living warmth of my Fu? It makes my corpse feel warm."

As planned, IVE's team building activity successfully created the impression that the whole team had a good relationship with Su Xia, thus achieving its true purpose.

As for Park Hee-min, after Su Xia told her about the four options Kim Tae-yeon had given her, Park Hee-min also felt that there was great potential in it.

Su Xia has almost finished covering all of Kim Tae-yeon's songs, and the popularity of her less popular tracks has also shown a significant drop in data.

The only songs that can maintain high popularity are Kim Tae-yeon's classic tracks and CoverIVE's songs and videos, but IVE only has a limited number of popular tracks, and it's time for them to seek new breakthroughs.

Su Xia's idea was indeed a valid approach.

Judging from the sparks that flew between Su Xia and IVE, constantly getting in touch with girl groups seems to be the right path.

So Park Hee-min reported this to her superiors and began to arrange for the search for a new girl group.

After returning to Xuzhou from her internship, Su Xia embarked on a new round of video shooting assignments.

She's a true workaholic.

As September officially arrived, the second and final batch of intern lawyers' professional qualification examinations in Jiangsu Province officially commenced.

Among those who are paying attention to this assessment, there is one rather special individual in this professional qualification assessment.

I wonder what kind of performance this blogger with over five million followers across the internet will deliver?

Just as Su Xia was preparing to take her professional qualification exam, inside the JYP Entertainment building in Seoul...

NMIXX practice room.

On the 19th of last month, they released the second album of their third series, Iron(III) Oxide, and on September 8th, they will be performing on music shows again in September.

Although tracks from albums like "Seethat?" are already ingrained in their muscle memory, the members hadn't practiced for a few days and were about to start a new round of promotions. So, they gathered together again to review for the upcoming shows.

clap clap.

The manager suddenly walked in, turned off the music, and clapped his hands to attract the attention of the girls who had stopped moving because of the sudden music stop.

"Children, come here, I have something to tell you."

The members of NMIXX gathered around.

"On the 7th of this month, which is the day after tomorrow, a popular online blogger from CJ Entertainment invited us to record a video. This blogger is mainly active on the Chinese internet and has a high level of popularity. If we do a good job, it can quickly increase our brand awareness in China."

NMIXX made a stunning comeback with their hit song "Dash," transforming themselves from unknown artists from the Big Three to a popular group that has topped music charts and trended in various countries. They've finally made it big.

However, they still need to work hard to catch up with the popularity of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council.

"The blogger that Unnie is talking about, could it be lawyer Su Xia?" Wu Haiyuan suddenly said.

"Yes." The manager wasn't surprised that Oh Hae-won mentioned Su Xia's name. As a highly active internet user, it would be strange if Oh Hae-won didn't know this internet celebrity who was always trending on social media with IVE.

"This time, Attorney Su gave CJ Entertainment four groups they were interested in collaborating with, and NMIXX was the first choice."

The agent said with considerable pride.

The girls from NMIXX all looked surprised when they heard this.

Of the four groups, they are the first in line!

Su Xia's first picks were NMIXX and LESSERAFIM, but CJMCN, considering that LESSERAFIM was still affected by Coachella, moved NMIXX to the first pick.

When communicating with JYP, it was also mentioned that NMIXX was Su Xia's first choice.

This is like the art of speaking.

How could JYP and NMIXX not be happy to hear that?

Who was the last person to collaborate with Su Xia?

IVE!

That's IVE, one of the most popular K-pop girl groups right now, and in the last two years, we could even say "one of" without the "most popular."

After IVE, NMIXX took the baton—

this----

The surprise was followed by tension.

You need to see who your senior is.

If Su Xia's first collaboration was with some obscure, unknown group, NMIXX wouldn't feel too much pressure taking over, even though Su Xia is a blogger with over five million followers.

Liz was nervous not because Su Xia had many fans, but because Su Xia was a blogger for CJ Entertainment. Those who know, know the relationship between STARSHIP Entertainment and CJ Entertainment.

To put it nicely, it's a strategic partnership; to put it bluntly, it's being dependent on others.

But NMIXX is different; they are a group from JYP Entertainment, one of the three major K-pop groups, and are true descendants of K-pop.

CJ Entertainment may be awesome, but I'm not afraid of you. Everyone has some connections when they're in the business.

However, NMIXX was replaced by IVE. IVE was afraid of Su Xia because the company was not good, but NMIXX was afraid of IVE simply because the difference in popularity was too great.

In the entertainment industry, popularity reigns supreme.

As the group that takes over from IVE, even if Su Xia doesn't care, the audience will inevitably make comparisons. How can the girls of NMIXX not be nervous when the two groups are compared?

"Unnie, who is Attorney Su collaborating with?" Bae Jin-sol asked.

Yes.

Su Xia's collaboration with IVE was limited to singing a song with lead singer Liz, and at most, she also had a song with Jin Qiutian.

Although he has a good relationship with IVE, only two members, Liz and Kim Thuyu, actually appeared on screen.

Looking at it this way, it seems like they don't need all six of them to appear on camera?

"Everyone." The manager's words made their thoughts, which had just arisen, vanish.

"I don't know what they're going to do there either, but we'll arrive at the CJ Entertainment Building on time the day after tomorrow. Once we get there, we'll know why we're all here." The manager didn't know the specifics either, as the other party didn't say anything.

"Inside." 6.

"Alright, everyone, let's get back to preparations." After finishing his business, the manager left decisively, leaving the NMIXX members looking at each other in bewilderment.

The second batch of intern lawyers' professional qualification examinations in Jiangsu Province concluded successfully on September 6th. The list of qualified candidates will be announced a week later. However, Su Xia received the results of the examinations immediately after they were completed.

Seeing that I had passed as I wished, I was completely relieved.

As soon as he came out of the station, Lao Jin and Xiao Li, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came to greet him.

"Boss, Hee-min just called and asked when you plan to go to Seoul."

"Let's leave today if we can," Su Xia said, glancing at the time on her phone.

"it is good."

After getting on the bus, Su Xia took the iPad from Xiao Li, looked at the half-finished composition, and continued to revise the song with the stylus.

Kim Tae-yeon, unusually, remained silent, standing aside watching Su Xia rearrange the song.

Su Xia has a bit of talent in creation; it's not that she has none, nor is it that she's very talented—it's just a simple talent.

Even though it was just a small thing, Kim Tae-yeon still let him try to rearrange the song himself. If a singer has the ability to arrange music, his works are often better able to express his true thoughts and feelings.

but----

Kim Tae-yeon smiled.

Su Xia's adaptation isn't bad, but it's more like a mess of a defense.

But as a beginner, it's normal to write terrible stuff. If you're not a genius, you can only take it slowly, from big pieces of garbage to small pieces, and then gradually move closer to a finished product.

This is a process of progress.

If Su Xia is willing to learn, then she will teach her.

Although Kim Tae-yeon doesn't have IU's songwriting ability, she still has some experience in song arrangement. After singing for so many years, even a pig could learn a little bit.

That's enough time to teach Su Xia this.

It's a good thing he's not a genius producer, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to learn everything she has in a day.

As Kim Tae-yeon thought this, Su Xia continued to seriously rearrange the song. This thing—it's quite fun.

The next day.

The CJ Entertainment Building has three basement levels.

The NMIXX nanny van arrived safely.

Having come to Seoul with Su Xia, Lao Jin, who had been waiting there, immediately went to greet the NMIXX members as they got out of the car.

"Hello, members of NMIXX." Old Jin greeted the group with a smile. "I'm Su Xia's assistant. The boss is on the twelfth floor. Please follow me."

"Inside."

Wu Haiyuan and the other members followed Lao Jin's steps, their eyes secretly taking in the environment of CJ Entertainment.

This wasn't her first time at the CJ Entertainment Building. There were several studios in the building, and she had recorded there before, but that was a long time ago, so her memory of the place was a bit hazy.

As she rode the celebrity-only elevator upwards, Oh Hae-won saw the number "12".

Is it on the twelfth floor?

The members were quiet in the elevator, except for the sounds of Lao Jin and his manager talking.

Before long, the group arrived at a half-open door with a sign that read "Su" on it, and the next room had a sign that read "IVE".

IVE's "staying overnight" is not a secret at CJ Entertainment; many people in the industry know about it, and NMIXX is no exception.

[No wonder they get along so well; they're always together in the waiting room.] Wu Haiyuan muttered to herself. She had also seen the interaction between IVE and Su Xia a couple of days ago.

Su Xia's music was uploaded to TikTok, and he even made a video to respond to the IVE members, saying that he would take IVE around China when he had time, which made her extremely envious.

Waaaaah, she also wants a Chinese friend like that to take her and the members on a trip around China!

"The boss is in the waiting room," Lao Jin said to the NMIXX group, then turned to the manager. "Shall we go over there and discuss the specifics of the collaboration?"

"Okay." The agent gave Wu Haiyuan a look, meaning to be mindful of boundaries. Wu Haiyuan nodded slightly, and then the agent followed Lao Jin to the conference room with peace of mind.

Wu Haiyuan withdrew her gaze, looked at the members still standing outside, and sighed helplessly.

Why does she have to make all the decisions?

He muttered something to himself, but still knocked gently on the door.

"Please come in." After the unfamiliar male voice came out, Wu Haiyuan pressed the doorknob and gently pushed it open. The cool air from the air conditioner rushed in.

Wu Haiyuan was the first to enter and the first to see the scene in the waiting room.

The first thing that catches the eye is a splash of white. The man is sitting on the sofa, wearing a pure white fitted short-sleeved T-shirt and light blue washed denim shorts.

The refreshing feel of the striped shirt blends perfectly with the casualness of the denim shorts, and the exposed forearm lines are full of youthful charm. Under the sunlight shining through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the waiting room, the slightly parted and wispy hair shimmers, and the eyes that are smiling for some reason seem to be filled with starlight, making Wu Haiyuan unable to help but take a second look.

Wu Haiyuan was looking at Su Xia, and Su Xia was looking at them too.

Su Xia naturally recognized the members of NMIXX. Wu Haiyuan in front of her was wearing a dark blue strapless top, paired with multiple layers of silver necklaces, and her overall look was that of a cool girl with a sophisticated style.

The others all had similar styles, so it seems they were well-prepared with their outfits.

"Hello, I'm Su Xia." Su Xia glanced at the six members of NMIXX and said immediately.

"We are — NMIXX." Su Xia did not bow, nor did Wu Haiyuan and the other six; they merely gave a slight bow as a sign of politeness.

There is no senior-junior relationship between the two parties, nor is there any special relationship between the companies; they are naturally treated as equals.

"I am"

Just as Wu Haiyuan was about to speak, Su Xia waved her hand, interrupting her self-introduction.

"I know you all, so there's no need for introductions."

"I have a question to ask first: are you okay with singing Chinese songs?"

The girls were taken aback by Su Xia's decisiveness. Shouldn't the normal procedure be to get to know each other first, exchange a few polite words, and then slowly start chatting?

Su Xia didn't care what they thought; her gaze fell on a figure beside Wu Haiyuan.

With her light blonde long hair and wearing a sleeveless denim top, she is looking at the floor with her mouth slightly open, giving off a somewhat dazed and absent-minded vibe.

Su Xia recalled the scene yesterday when she returned home and packed her luggage for her trip to Seoul.

"You need to be extremely focused when collaborating with NMIXX," Kim Tae-yeon said as she watched Su Xia pack her luggage.

"NMIXX is not like IVE. Each of them is above average in terms of skill, so you can perform with confidence and be as bold as possible in your song selection."

Actually, MyLove is somewhat difficult, but only slightly.

Liz has very strong natural talent, but her singing skills are still a bit lacking, not to mention the other members of IVE. So Su Xia was quite restrained in her song selection.

However, there are no such concerns when collaborating with NMIXX.

You can be more unrestrained and daring in your song selection.

"I know, I'm thinking of one Korean song and one Chinese song, but I'm not sure if NMIXX can accept a Chinese song. I'll ask them when the time comes."

"A Chinese song? There's not enough time, is there?"

"But I've pretty much reached the limit in the K-pop scene. If I want to go further, I need to break out of that niche, and I'll have to include Chinese songs sooner or later," Su Xia explained.

"That makes sense." Kim Tae-yeon nodded with satisfaction, not expecting that Su Xia had also begun to actively consider her own development path.

Not bad.

"Hurry up and get ready. Let me tell you some more about your singing technique so you can fix them as soon as possible. NMIXX is not like IVE; some of them can hear your problems."

"Who's so awesome?"

"LilyM."

The memory ended, and Su Xia's gaze refocused on the dull-looking girl in front of her, a hint of doubt appearing in her eyes.

Just her?

He doesn't seem very bright; he's the type who could sit at the same table as Rei.

While Oh Hae-won was quietly discussing with the members what to do with the Chinese song, Su Xia's stare at Lily was noticed only by Kim Tae-yeon and one other person.

Pei Zhenlu glanced at Su Xia, then at her eldest sister, her eyes darting around as if she were thinking about something.

"Su Xia, we can sing Chinese songs." After a brief discussion, Wu Haiyuan gave her answer.

Su Xia withdrew her gaze from Lily and a smile appeared on her face.

"If you don't sing Chinese songs, then we'll start practicing Korean songs directly. I have prepared some Korean songs."

"It's okay, we can practice Chinese songs," Wu Haiyuan said, shaking her head.

Su Xia's smile widened. She turned around and took out six prepared lyrics from her backpack on the table, then distributed them to the girls one by one.

"We'll practice Korean songs first. I'll arrange for a language teacher to teach you Chinese songs later."

"OK."

Wu Haiyuan glanced at the Chinese and Korean lyrics in her hand; the song title was—

"Under the Flying Clouds"?

Unfortunately, only the lyrics are translated into Chinese and Korean; there is no sheet music.

"The Korean song I chose is Taeyeon's 'Four Seasons,' have you heard it before?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Four Seasons" is one of Kim Tae-yeon's most classic songs, and very few people who listen to Kim Tae-yeon haven't heard of "Four Seasons".

"Okay, let's go down."

"Inside!"

Su Xia led the NMIXX girls to the vocal room on the third floor.

Let's start with the maknae, Jang Kyu-jin, and go through them one by one.

"Please sit down, everyone." Su Xia gestured for the others to sit down.

The other five members of NMIXX sat down, looking at Jang Gyu-jin standing in front of them with smiles, like examiners.

Zhang Guizhen stood there nervously, this scene—it reminded her of the monthly exam scene during her trainee days.

"Come on, sing any song that showcases your singing skills and timbre," Su Xia said to Zhang Guizhen, sitting on the floor, holding a notebook in her hand and twirling a pen in her right.

On the sofa behind them, Wu Haiyuan and Pei Zhenlu craned their necks, looking curiously at Su Xia's notebook.

The left-hand page describes Liz's vocal characteristics, while the right-hand page is blank.

Su Xia saw their subtle interaction in the mirror but didn't pay it any mind.

"Would you like to dance?"

"random."

Zhang Guizhen took a deep breath and quickly got into her zone.

Where no one else could see, Kim Tae-yeon moved closer to Jang Gyu-jin the moment her performance began.

"Your singing and dancing are very well-balanced," Kim Tae-yeon commented as she watched, while Su Xia quickly wrote something down.

A little over a minute later.

"Okay, that's enough." Su Xia gestured for the next person to go up.

Wu Haiyuan stuck her head out again, and this time, the blank space on the right was filled with more text.

"Stable vocal range, excellent pitch, outstanding performance in the mid-to-high range, and good live performance ability."

"She has an excellent balance between singing and dancing, and her voice is energetic, complementing my own and injecting a refreshing feel into lyrical works."

A warm and energetic vocal combination.

Wu Haiyuan looked shocked and looked up at Pei Zhenlu on the other side, only to find that the other person was also looking at her, her eyes also filled with shock.

They only figured out the maknae's (youngest member's) unique voice after debuting together for a while, but what about now?

How long has it been?

Before they could think any further, the second contestant, Jin Zhiyu, had already begun her performance.

Su Xia continued to record her observations, combining Kim Tae-yeon's evaluation with her own perspective.

"A very refreshing tone, with a light and smooth mid-to-low range, which complements my voice with a 'refreshing + mellow' quality."

.

"Next." Su Xia said without looking up. At this moment, he seemed to be a real examiner for the monthly exam. Wu Haiyuan and Pei Zhenlu did not feel that there was any problem. In fact, they felt that this was how it should be!

Xueyun and the others, who hadn't seen Su Xia's notebook, were a little confused. Weren't they supposed to be collaborating? How did it turn into an interview?

"Wait, let Bae go first." Kim Tae-yeon said to Su Xia as she looked at Seol-yoon who came up.

Su Xia was a little confused, but she still repeated it.

Xuechong, who had just come up, came down again, looking completely bewildered.

Bae Jin-sul was a little surprised to be called out, but he still stood up.

Pui Jin-sol pulled Xue Yun back to her seat and pressed her down into his own seat before getting in.

Xueyun had just sat down and was still trying to figure out what was going on when she saw Wu Haiyuan pointing at the notebook in Su Xia's hand.

Xueyun blinked and looked over curiously.

"A deep, clear voice with distinctive mid-to-low range, which creates a balance of 'thick' and 'thin' tones with mine."

"My voice is memorable, and my emotional expression is direct. It can be used to build up the chorus in a chorus, highlighting my powerful high notes."

"?!?!" Xueyun's eyes widened in surprise.

This is?

What are the characteristics of their voices?

You figured him out after singing only half a song?

What level of hearing is this? Perfect pitch?

Xue Yun was deeply bewildered.

When Wu Haiyuan saw that Xueyun was also confused, she couldn't help but laugh.

Hehe, it can't be just her and Bae who are shocked.

"Next—Haewon, come on."

Wu Haiyuan's smile vanished instantly.

"Inside!"

Wu Haiyuan was a little nervous. After all, she had seen Su Xia's true level, so it was hard not to be nervous.

Pei Zhenlu sat in Wu Haiyuan's seat and saw Su Xia's evaluation of him, which made him feel emotional.

No wonder he could replicate Taeyeon so perfectly; his analytical skills are simply amazing.

Oh Hae-won's performance immediately caught the eye of both Kim Tae-yeon and Su Ha.

"His voice is clear and stable, with a rich mid-to-low range, which allows him to create a sense of layering with the vocals in the harmonic arrangement."

"Her voice is very approachable and can convey the emotions of a song through delicate enunciation, making her suitable for backing vocals or harmonies."

"Lily, come here." Su Xia turned around for the first time to look at Lily, who was dreaming of the divine realm. He wanted to see what kind of level Kim Tae-yeon was talking about, the level that could break the fifth generation.

"Oh, oh." Lily snapped out of her daze and jogged to the front.

"Should I start right away?" Lily scratched her head and said with a silly smile, looking just like a koala.

"Um."

As Su Xia nodded, Lily's aura suddenly changed.

If Lily was a憨厚可爱 (憨厚可爱 is a Chinese idiom meaning honest and cute) koala just now, then Lily in performance mode is a tigress who has entered her territory.

That feeling of being in complete control, that inner confidence, welled up within me.

This is a unique quality that comes from a combination of confidence in one's abilities and a passion for singing.

"I "m drunk in the back of the car"

As soon as Lily spoke, Su Xia sat up abruptly, her eyes lighting up.

Taylor Swift's "Late Summer" third part verse, the key is set from the very first note, without any key reduction, it's pure acoustic!

The pen in Su Xia's hand began to move rapidly.

"The top vocalist of the fifth generation, with skillful technique, clear and powerful high notes, wide vocal range (High B?), and excellent live performance stability."

"Smooth transitions between true and falsetto voices, precise breath control, effortless mastery of difficult transitions, technically proficient level."

"7

"Fantastic!" Su Xia raised his hand and clapped. This was his first time giving a critique. He would replace the other members as soon as they finished singing, but Lily was different.

He now understood why Kim Tae-yeon had given her such high praise.

Isn't this just an outstanding graduate of the academic technique school?

While the emotional depth of her performance is uncertain, in terms of singing skills alone, Lily surpasses Liz by a significant margin.

Putting someone with this level of skill as the lead vocalist in a girl group is a bit of a waste.

No wonder NMIXX still had some fame even when they weren't popular, and they were used to criticize fans who praised their idols' singing skills.

With this level of skill, you can use her to criticize anyone; who can out-criticize her?

"I wasn't lying to you, was I?" Kim Tae-yeon said cheerfully. "Lily's level isn't much worse than yours. If you don't correct those bad habits, do you think she'll be able to tell the difference?"

That's incredibly impressive.

Although these are some subtle flaws, for a high-level singer, they are like a ray of light in the darkness, impossible to hide.

"And then there's Seol-Yoon, come on." Su Xia looked at Seol-Yoon with some anticipation. She was arranged to be the last one by Kim Tae-yeon. Could she also have such strong singing skills?

Su Xia was really looking forward to it.

Lily, still half-asleep, was pulled by Pei Zhenlu to sit down on the right side behind Su Xia, and then—she also saw the contents of Su Xia's notebook.

His eyes widened immediately.

"Wow—that's amazing!"

It was only because Xue Yun had already started performing that Su Xia actually heard her remark.

Su Xia frowned slightly.

That's it?

It's not that Xueyun sang badly; on the contrary, she sang very well, second only to Lily.

But the question is, did Kim Tae-yeon really need to be the last one?

Puzzled, Su Xia continued taking notes.

"The mid-to-high frequency range is stable and powerful with good resonance. It can switch seamlessly from sweet to grand, with high sound density and restrained and layered emotional expression."

"It has excellent tension control in the high register, which complements my powerful high notes while maintaining the purity of the tone."

"Okay." Su Xia nodded and stood up from the floor.

Upon seeing this, all six members of NMIXX stood up in unison.

"I know a bit about your voices now, so let me introduce myself—well, I'll sing a song. I can't just interview you guys and not let you interview me." Su Xia made a timely joke, slightly easing the atmosphere that had just resembled a monthly exam.

While they were adjusting the sound system, Su Xia whispered to Kim Tae-yeon.

What's going on with Xueyun?

"Don't worry, you'll find out when you start practicing." Kim Tae-yeon gave a mysterious smile.

Su Xia was puzzled, but she didn't press the matter further.

Although Su Xia was accompanied by the music of "The Four Seasons", he still managed to intimidate the six little yao yao as soon as he opened his mouth.

Firstly, their singing skills are indeed quite high, which is something that the six people who received vocal training from the JYP system can naturally hear.

Secondly, their singing style is too similar to SM Entertainment's, especially Taeyeon's singing style, which is almost identical.

Thirdly, vocal range. Why is it that Su Xia, a male voice, has a vocal range similar to that of a female voice?
