I am a Pioneer

Scouted???

February 10th 2012:

Time flew by as I prepared for my audition. I spent countless hours practising my dance and singing. I started writing down all the songs that I created in my past life, so I had a record and wouldn't forget them later. I worked hard at school, still missing the top spot by 2 marks. 'Damn So-Yeon' why does she have to be so good at school?

Anyway, the day for my audition finally came. I left school and headed straight for the JYP building. Upon arrival, I signed in with the lady at reception and filled out the form.

After filling the sheet out, the receptionist gave me the number 127, I went to the bathroom and changed out of my uniform into some new urban streetwear Mainly black, with white shoes, to suit my white hair. the shirts had purple trims to match my eyes. A sense of style is also appreciated in the entertainment industry. I then made my way to the audition room, where I waited outside with hundreds of kids lined up waiting. The atmosphere was tense. Some kids were practising, some were sleeping. Many were about my age (12-14) but some were older. Eventually, the numbers dwindled to 3. I was next to go in. "Number 127, your up."

I entered the room to see a table with 5 people sitting at it. The only person I recognised was JYP, who was sitting in the middle, expressionless. "The kids got a good sense of style" I heard the judge on the left mutter. "Hi, What's your name and age?" JYP asked.

I bowed and introduced myself "Lorenzo Chu, but my Korean name is Chu Jin-Ho. 14 years old Sir."

"You're very polite. You don't seem nervous either?"

"I am confident in my abilities Sir," I replied

"Good, I like that confidence. Now, will you sing or dance for us?"

"I will do both at the same time sir"

"Interesting... You may begin when you're ready."

I handed my USB to a staff, "Play track number 3 please" 2 minutes later, I was ready. I nodded to the staff member who pressed play, and 'Move" started to play. The minute my mouth opened and I began to sing, a couple of the judges gasped but quickly regained their composure. The music started to speed up, and the dancing became more intricate. I started to get into it, Singing carefully, making sure to control my breathing and stabilise my voice. Luckily, I was executing the dance moves perfectly, and gracefully. Soon the music stopped, and the room was silent. I looked up to see JYP nodding, and the other Judges with their mouths open.

"Nice job. Your dancing was professional level. Are you able to dance in more styles?"

"Yes sir" I replied to JYP.

"Excellent. Your singing was perfect, but I didn't recognise the song. Did you write it?"

"Yes, I did sir. It is an original I wrote called 'Move'."
