I Decided To Become a Perfect Girl

Chapter 21

21 – 11 years old (5)

The head of the department looked for the article I appeared on his cell phone again and told me.

” It really sounds like the name in the article… This is enough for a pianist… Ha ha… “

The manager sighed several times and couldn’t continue his words.

” Miss Dohee… Then, besides what you said, is there anything else you’re particularly good at? “

Of course, bragging still remains.

” Well, I am good at studying… “

I said this time, blurring my horse’s tail.

” Really? Can you tell me how good you are? “

The manager put on a relieved expression, probably thinking that studying was normal.

” It’s elementary school, but from 1st grade to 3rd grade, I was ranked first in the entire school. hahahaha. “

” Yes? 1St place in school? “

” Neng. “

” From 1st grade to 3rd grade? “

” Yep!”

” You’re good at studying… Ha ha… “

It’s good if the person signing the contract is good at studying, why are you sighing…

” Miss Dohee, just in case, could you tell me if there’s something else you’re good at…? “

No, but…

I’m curious about the manager’s reaction when I said yes.

Aren’t you crying?

” No, no. “

Lee Jung-hye, head of the singer management office at Top East Entertainment, is now in a complicated state of mind.

I thought he was making a fuss when Team Leader Kim told him there was a child he had to cast even if he had to fix the contract.

As the status of kpop has risen, idol applicants have naturally overflowed, so finding a visual member is not as difficult as it used to be, and even if you can’t find one, you just have to get plastic surgery.

Therefore, it was too much to fix the contract with just one look, because you wouldn’t know if you were good at singing and dancing.

Since the boy Kim recommended is not interested in dancing or singing, he must be pretty only in appearance.

However, when she saw the child who came to visit the company building, she agreed with Team Leader Kim’s words to a certain extent.

It wasn’t just pretty, it was very pretty.

If this child grows up and she becomes an idol, she will definitely become one of the best visuals among the idols of that generation.

Even if you’re 11 years old and your dancing and singing skills aren’t enough, you’ll have plenty of time to learn.

Therefore, at this level, she had to prepare contracts equivalent to those of the four major agencies.

However, she changed her mind while doing the camera test.

That the contract should be modified beyond the standard contract of the 4 major agencies.

The unique atmosphere felt when a child made facial expressions was not simply that her appearance was pretty.

She looks oddly grown-up despite her playful side, feminine yet oddly masculine.

It was an atmosphere that people of all ages would enjoy.

Yes, it is somewhat burdensome to propose a contract with more than 4 major agencies, but we were able to present it with the authority of the head of the singer’s management office.

However, when I found out what kind of child Dohee was, I couldn’t figure out how to propose a contract.

A Korean member who is fluent in foreign languages.

If you won 11 consecutive grand prizes in the local government competitions without authority, you would be an outstanding child.

In addition, he is a musical genius who can become a world-class pianist after winning the grand prize in major piano competitions recognized in Korea 11 times in a row.

A model student who never missed the first place in the entire school from 1st grade to 3rd grade.

This is a ridiculous specification.

Does a child who can succeed in any way dare to go through a difficult trainee life and become a celebrity?

The difficulty was getting people to decide to become idols.

However, it is not the end even if you make a contract with someone to make you think about becoming an idol.

Because the entertainment industry has a narrow bottom, it was clear that if Dohee became our trainee, information would somehow leak out.

Being an undisclosed trainee is not a spec that can prevent rumors.

And if rumors spread, other agencies would scramble to get Dohee out.

There was usually only one method used by agencies to prevent other agencies from trying to steal their trainees.

If the contract is terminated due to the responsibility of the trainee in the contract clause, the investment cost is requested as a penalty.

If there is no penalty, the penalty has become a basic clause in the contract because there have been cases of abuse, such as receiving free training from the original agency and then making a debut by signing a contract with another agency.

So, in order to more strongly prevent trainees from leaving, the four major entertainment companies demanded two to three times the penalty, not the principal amount of the investment cost.

However, at the Fair Trade Commission last year, the penalty for exceeding the investment cost was specified as a slave contract, so it was no longer possible to demand 2-3 times as much as before.

So, even if you sign a contract with Dohee, the penalty will be the biggest investment cost.

Even if the penalty was tripled, it would still be stolen

Haa…

The penalty was not a breakwater to protect Dohee from other companies.

There was only one way to make Dohee want to debut as a celebrity at Top East Entertainment.

And all he did was offer a ridiculous contract.

“I’ll be honest with you from now on.”

The head of the department spoke after a long struggle.

” We definitely want to make Dohee-yang a celebrity in our company. Actually, this will be the same for other large agencies like the 4 major agencies. “

Usually, the contract between the agency and the trainee is the agency.

But the manager’s words sounded like he would treat me like a superior.

” Sign a contract as an employee, not as a trainee.”

” Yes? ” ” Huh? “

I don’t understand what you mean.

” Hiring Dohee as an employee who acts as a trainee. “

” To be precise, they are trainees who receive pocket money because they cannot work under the age of 15. “

” I will give you pocket money every month based on the minimum wage, just like your monthly salary.

” Our company will fully bear the investment cost, and we will not ask for a refund even after our debut.”

” Of course, I will write it down in the contract so that I don’t treat you unfairly.”

” All Dohee has to do is to train hard, not to cause social controversy, and not to refuse reasonable instructions from the company.”

The chief’s words surprised her mother and me.

To be honest, I was freaked out.

This is a very unconventional condition…

Does this make sense?

No matter how much you don’t know the entertainment world, even in such a country, you know that this is a great treatment.

I asked the manager.

From noble mtl dot com.

” Chief, is this… Really okay?”

” No. In fact, I don’t even have the authority to make such an offer to me. But I will definitely convince the general manager and CEO to offer a contract.”

” No, even if it does, isn’t the company unconditionally damaged…?”

” I am sure that if Dohee-yang makes her debut, she will benefit unconditionally. “

” What if I just practice and don’t debut as a celebrity?”

” If you unilaterally quit your trainee life or if you refuse even though we have offered you an exclusive contract to debut as a celebrity, you will only pay the investment cost including your salary as a penalty according to the standard contract for trainees in the field of popular culture and arts. “

” Then what if I pay and go to another company?”

” Then, only the cost is refunded. Well, Dohee-yang will think that she wants to live as a celebrity at Top East Entertainment. Our company is a good company. “

” … “

To be honest, I was a little touched.

Why don’t you say this?

Seonbi sacrifices her life for those who recognize her.

Or,

A man sacrifices his life for someone who recognizes him.

I heard this far, but what can I do?

” I will. “

” Mom, I want to become an idol here. “

My mother smiles at me.

” Aren’t you going to do it too hastily?”

” I actually wanted to try something.”

” Wouldn’t it be hard?”

” You know. Once I do it, I do it until the end.”

” You know.”

Mom held her breath for a moment, then she said.

” Huh… Yes, my princess, do whatever you want.”

” Yes. “

” But you know you have to work twice as hard as usual because you’re doing it for money, right?”

” Of course not. “

At the conversation between my mother and I, the head of department finally relaxed and smiled.

” Then, within this week, I will make sure to persuade the general manager and the CEO to make an alliance.”

” Okay. Do-hee, let’s go now, Do-ah. Kindergarten will be over soon.”

” Yes. “

My mom and I said hello to the manager and said we would meet on the day of the contract, and left the building where I would be spending time in the future.

On the way home by car,

I called my dad to let him know right away, rather than letting him know when he gets home since it’s such a big deal.

– Hey, what’s the matter with our princess calling her dad? –

” He calls me sometimes.”

Isn’t it?

” Anyway, Dad, I’m going to sign a contract.”

– Celebrity? –

” Yes. “

– Wouldn’t it be hard? –

Both mom and dad say whether it will be difficult rather than expressing their opinions first.

Something brings tears to my eyes.

” It must be difficult. But even if it is difficult, I want to try. –
