Peninsula: Start with the nephew of the soy sauce bottle

Chapter 2 Being Recognized

Park Kyung Wook is a child star.

But he didn’t decide on music as his lifelong goal very early.

At first, his dream was no different from that of other students of his age. He was the kind of person who would announce loudly "I want to be an astronaut when I grow up" when introducing himself in class.

The reason why I developed my love for music was largely because of my uncle who was a big star.

The age difference between the uncle and nephew is 24 years, but they get along like friends.This may be related to Park Jinying's easy-going personality, so Park Jingxu has been close to this uncle since he was a child.

After being exposed to it for a long time, Park Jingxu gradually fell in love with music.He was even deeply influenced by Park Jin Young and has a soft spot for dance music such as disco.

The opportunity to become a child star was when he participated in a variety show with Park Jin-young. Park Kyung-wook's impromptu disco in the backstage lounge made many staff members laugh, causing a sensation. After being invited on stage by the PD with a keen sense of variety shows, he showed his innate sense of talent. The presence of that show even overshadowed my own uncle.

Since then, Park Kyung Wook has become famous and has been invited to guest star in several TV series.

His uncle also took great care of him. Not only did he often take him to variety shows, but he also wrote a song for the uncle and nephew to sing on the same stage.

This made Park Kyung-wook's popularity gradually increase, and some companies began to notice him.

Among them, the most famous one, which made him popular across the country and earned him the title of "National Brother", was the advertisement for Bingrui Banana Milk.Banana milk can be said to be the national drink of NH. It is a drink that every child has drunk and has a very wide audience.It is undoubtedly appropriate to invite Park Kyung Wook, who has an outstanding image and temperament and is of the right age, to be the spokesperson.

It is said that sales increased by 10% year-on-year after the advertisement was broadcast.

Don’t underestimate 10%. Binggrae was originally the overlord of the banana milk industry, occupying almost 90% of the market share.Therefore, its sales volume is very astonishing, and the 10% increase on this basis shows that the role of the spokesperson has played a considerable role.

This incident was later regarded as a demonstration case of correct selection of spokespersons.

In the months after the commercial was shot, Park Kyung Wook could be seen on screens in the streets and alleys.

Uncle Park Jin Young also joked: "You are more popular than me now!"

However, Park Jingxu's life did not go smoothly.

After the peak comes the trough. The young man entering the period of voice change suddenly found that he could not sing like before.This caused him to lose many opportunities to appear on the screen, and the public gradually forgot about him.

Park Jingxu, who fell silent, did not sit still and wait for the period of voice change to end.

He knows the cruelty of the Peninsula entertainment industry, the fierce competition, and the rapid iteration.Moreover, the people of the peninsula are forgetful and callous.

They don't care about old friendships. Many fans of male artists vowed to wait for him to come back before serving in the army. However, there are many fans who disappeared after completing their military service.

Even if he can't sing, he can't give up the opportunity to appear in front of the screen.

Until I accidentally came into contact with the music of Eminem, JAY-Z, and Kanye.

Park Jingxu's thoughts suddenly became clear.

When it comes to music, Park Kyung Wook is extremely talented.

Otherwise, no matter how much Park Jin Young loves this nephew, he will not pay so much for it, and his parents themselves will object.

Park Kyung-wook's most unique talent is not his voice or his skill in playing instruments.What separates him most from others is his ability to think independently.

He has his own ideas about music and will not be influenced by others. When he was 6 years old, he already had a clear plan for his life.

It was 2007 when I tried to imitate a well-known rapper and write my first rap song "Self-Introduction".

Although rap in 07 was not as popular in the peninsula as it was ten years later, it can still be called a mainstream music form.At this time, Youtube coincided with the rise. Park Jingxu was keenly aware that it would become a mainstream communication medium in the future, so he tried to upload all the songs he created and some behind-the-scenes footage.

At this time, YouTube has no incentives for creation, and the length of videos uploaded by ordinary users is still strictly controlled within 10 minutes.So not many people are willing to make videos of what happens in their lives and share them online.

Park Kyung Wook is undoubtedly the earliest YouTube blogger.

Since VLOG is not as rampant as ten years later, it can still arouse the curiosity of many people, and the people who share the video are still former stars, which makes people more eager to find out.

And what he has an advantage over many rappers is that he can make his own beats (accompaniment).

His video quickly went viral.

The quality of the rap is not high, but it can be understood by everyone.Because everyone knows that this boy is better at singing and is just a novice at rap.

After that, he continued to introduce new things, not only rap videos, but also shared some trivial things in life on the Internet.After all, teenage boys still have a strong desire to share.And due to the special nature of his identity, idol stars and other celebrities often appear in the social circle he hangs in, which attracts some fans to come and watch.

He started to gain some popularity online.

And just a few.

The Internet at that time mainly relied on computers as a carrier, and did not spread as quickly and widely as in the mobile Internet era a few years later - after all, not everyone would use a computer to watch videos.

So when Park Jingxu found that the girl in front of him seemed to know him, he acted a little surprised.

"you know me?"

"That's right, you are Pu Jingxuxi, right?"

Although the girl's tone was questioning, she undoubtedly meant it in the affirmative.

Park Jingxu was happy that someone recognized him, but he was a little frustrated when he saw that the other person's calm behavior didn't look like a fan.

"Thanks. Uh... I mean, I'm glad you watched my video."

"Video?" Park Jingxu's words made the other party confused. "What video?"

This time it was Park Jingxu's turn to be confused.

"Then how did you recognize me?"

"Isn't the commercial that Park Kyung Wook xi has shot in the past very popular? You are the 'national brother'!"

After talking about it, the girl also started to laugh, and the grinning mouth on her small face made Park Jingxu couldn't help but take a second look.

He was a little surprised. He didn't expect that even in 2009, there would still be people who remembered what happened four or five years ago.

"Thank you. Uh...this..." The boy got stuck mid-sentence. He didn't know the other person's name yet.Fortunately, the girl spoke out empathetically.

"Liu Xiangwo, my name is Liu Xiangwo."

"Okay, I'm Liu Xi. How old are you this year?"

"I was born in September 95, Miyane, I don't know Park Kyung Wook's age."

"I was born in June 96."

"Then I'm angry!" The girl put her hands on her hips with a proud expression.

"Guess, I'm so angry!" Pu Jingxu also laughed.

"Very few people call me Nu Na. It feels a bit new. Please call me a few more times."

Liu Xuan and I often hang out with my brother’s friends, who are generally one year older than her, and we have more contact with peers in school, so the opportunity to call her Nu Na is a rare one.

Park Jingxu is good at it. He doesn't hate the generation culture of Peninsula. Maybe it's because he has been exposed to adults who are more than ten years older than him since he was a child. Even the trainees in his uncle's company are several years older than him. Honorifics are a matter of course.

At this time, he suddenly met a girl who was only one year older than him. Although he was a little reluctant, his first impression of the girl was very good, so he had no resistance.

Even the title is omitted and the name is Nuna.

"Nuna, is that Agassi downstairs your father?"

"No, but my dad doesn't like people calling him Agassiz! Because once a kid said, 'Agassi, you smell so stinky! It's a bit like dog poop!', and he directly asked him to call him Agassiz. I hate calling him names."

Liu Xuanwo's imitation of children's speech with her voice was so vivid that it made Park Jingxu laugh.

"No wonder he reacted so strongly to what I just said."

"Ah? Jingxu, you've already said it. I'd better not do it next time. Dad really knows how to hit people!"

"Ajia... uh, is the store manager so violent?" Park Jingxu was shocked and quickly changed his title.

"According to my father, he seemed to have been on the streets when he was young."

"This...is a bit different from the identity of a record store owner."

"This store was inherited from my grandfather, but my father can't manage it, and the business is getting worse and worse." The girl couldn't help but sighed.Pu Jingxu comforted him and turned towards the stairs from time to time.

"Don't be afraid, Dad is eating and won't come up." The young man's cautious appearance made Liu Xun, who was originally a little worried, couldn't help but smile.

"That's good." Park Jingxu breathed a sigh of relief, but was surprised to realize that he seemed a little timid just now and couldn't help but explain.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just worried that the store manager is too old and it won't be good if he hurts himself first."

"I understand, I understand." The girl responded with a smile, but Park Jingxu felt that the other party was deliberately teasing him.

"Speaking of which, Jing Xu's feeling after getting in touch with him is a bit different from what I imagined."

"What kind of person did you think I was before?" Park Jingxu was curious about how ordinary people viewed him.

"He's a big star! He always looks so serious on TV, and he seems to be difficult to get along with. To be honest, I was a little nervous when I talked to you just now."

Park Jingxu laughed bitterly and laughed at himself.

"What kind of big star am I? Have you ever seen a big star lose his temper so quickly?"

"That's right." Pu Jingxu was taken aback by Liu Xi's words. Before he could react, the other party patted him on the shoulder and continued.

"But Jingxu is the most famous person I have come into contact with. To me, you are a big star!"

"Nu Na really likes to joke..." Park Jingxu shook his head helplessly.

At this time, the girl suddenly came closer and looked at Park Jingxu with a gossipy face.

"I've always been curious, your uncle is from JYP, right? So do you often meet a lot of artists?"

Park Jingxu thought for a moment before speaking.

"I have indeed met many seniors, but the one I am more familiar with is probably the Wonder Girls seniors."

In fact, Park Jingxu has met more than just WG. In fact, he has met all three major artists on various occasions, and some of them even have a good relationship with him.However, considering that WG has been the trend in the past two years, it is relatively representative, and the other party definitely knows it.What's more important is that we are really familiar with each other, and we don't even use honorifics when talking in private.

"Wow, Jingxu, you actually call them senior, you are obviously the one who debuted first."

"It can't be calculated like this..." Facing the extremely unprofessional question, Park Jingxu explained with a slight headache. "I have known them since they were trainees, and they are indeed my seniors from then on."

Especially team leader Min Sun-ye, who joined JYPE in 01 and is the most senior trainee in the entire company.Park Kyung Wook made his first TV appearance around 03.In this situation, even if some people in the group have less acting experience than him, Park Kyung Wook would not dare to act like a senior.

At the same time, he is young enough to stand up from the age argument.

This resulted in a situation where Park Jingxu greeted everyone as "senior". After all, there were few people younger than him.

He has been used to it for so many years, but it is still new to encounter this kind of question now.

"That's it... I thought I would be able to have others use honorifics to me long after I debuted. Ah, my dream is shattered!"

Liu Xuan looks a little disappointed. This girl seems to have some obsession with honorifics such as Nu Nao Ni.

"It seems that Nu is the maknae of the family."

"Yes, I have a brother who is one year older than me. My brother is quite annoying. He won't let me do anything and will snatch everything from me. Assi! When I think of him taking my 'gu' It’s better to be angry than if someone took it away!”

When I mentioned my brother, I seemed to be a different person, and I couldn't help but say swear words.

It seems that the resentment is indeed deep...

However, Park Kyung-wook, who is an only child, cannot empathize.He was more curious about what "Gubby" was, so he asked.

"Gubby... is my favorite doll. It's a little yellow chicken. I can't sleep without it. Even though Liu Junshan knew that he was so annoying, he still took it away!"

"It's a bit too much indeed."

"right."

Park Jingxu nodded in agreement.This is not perfunctory, because he knows that many girls in the peninsula have the habit of putting many dolls on the bed to accompany them to sleep.

"It's even more annoying today. We originally agreed to rest together because I had a sprained foot, but he actually left me and went to dance practice alone!"

Liu Xuan was shocked after I said that. She didn't even tell her father about this matter, but she actually told it to a person she met for the first time.I don't know if it's because of the celebrity, but the boy opposite seems to have a fatal affinity, which makes people can't help but let go of their guard and talk about their troubles.

I didn't have time to take a closer look just now, but only then did I realize that the boy opposite was quite handsome, much more handsome than he was in the advertisement five years ago.

Suddenly our eyes met, and I felt my heart beat faster.

I had never noticed before that Jingxu's eyes were so beautiful.

Suddenly, the girl who entered adolescence felt a strange feeling in her heart, but it was just a trace of feeling, and there was still a long way to go before it could become a relationship like love.

The girl who realized the subtle changes in her heart showed a hint of panic.

However, Park Jingxu, who was not yet enlightened, did not notice the change in the girl. Instead, he paid attention to one point in the other party's words.

"Nu Na likes to dance?"

"Yeah...that's right. Dancing is my favorite thing."

Liu Yanga naturally adjusted her sitting posture, and even her tone of voice lowered a bit.It was as if the careless person just now was not him.

Pu Jingxu is not blind, even though the opponent's movements are very slight, he was still discovered.It's just that he was a little uncertain about the other party's behavior, so he had to pretend that he couldn't see it.

The two of them continued to talk while maintaining a tacit understanding of turning a blind eye.

"What kind of dance is Nu Na doing? Ballet?"

In Park Jingxu's impression, many girls were sent to learn ballet by their parents.

"No, I dance a lot, but recently I've become a little obsessed with hippop, so I'm doing hip-hop."

As he spoke, he showed a short section with his upper body, and smiled sheepishly after it was over.

"Miane, I accidentally sprained my ankle today. Otherwise, I could show you my favorite song "Smooth Criminal" by MJ."

"jinjia? I also like MJ very much. She feels very good dancing there. You must dance for me next time."

"Even if I'm angry at your words, I won't refuse."

"It's a word."

After Park Jingxu said this, he extended his fist to signal to the other party, and the girl who was recently obsessed with hippop culture extended her fist knowingly and made a gesture.

"By the way, what was the video you mentioned before, Jingxu? Are you taking a video?"

Well - luckily she can still remember what Park Jingxu deliberately ignored just now...

Park Jingxu briefly introduced the video he posted on YouTube.

After listening to this, Liu Yuan's eyes lit up.

"Jingxu can also sing rap? I want to hear it!"

HIPPOP is indeed the most popular music culture among young people, and even the anger that seems like a good girl is not exempt from it.

But he was really embarrassed to sing rap with those fluttering eyes.The main reason is that I have no experience singing in front of others, and I am afraid that I will live up to their expectations.

After his repeated excuses, the girl had no choice but to make a request to watch his YouTube videos.

So he took out his mobile phone and started playing.

Then there was a scene that Liu Shengxi saw when he went upstairs.

　The reality is that the Yooa brother and sister seemed to have only started learning dance in high school, so they had to be modified to meet the needs of the plot.
