Kang Sujin: Stray kids 9th member

ITZY

I begged JYP to let me live with Stray kids, and he agreed to let me live with them for 8 months since they're moving out after debuting. My relationship with them has clearly improved from before.

Woojin teases me a lot, but he helped me improve my vocals so I owe him one.

Chan takes care of me like one of his 7 children. He even let me call him Channie.

Minho is still not so close but we still get well together since we both like cats.

Changbin is the one I enjoy being with the most.

Hyunjin started to get along with me after we went shopping.

Me and Jisung have been inseparable since the accident that happened.

Felix is so kind, we still meet in his room every night to study Korean.

Teasing Seungmin is the best, I just enjoy seeing him angry. He looks like an angry puppy..

Jeongin calls me noona and it makes me feel responsible so I treat him like my child even though I'm just one month older than him.

I joined 'project team 2', and we got well. Especially Yeji and Ryujin. We're now inseparable. However...

"Let's do well on our evaluation!" Yeji shouted, followed by a "Fighting" from the other members.

After our show, Park Jinyoung started giving comments. "Kang Sujin"

"Yes!"

"Your singing is as good as always but.. your dancing, it's too strong. It doesn't look like a girl dancing at all."

"I don't understand.." I bowed, asking him to explain more.

"The other members have smooth movements, with good control. But you dance like a boy, you should work on that.."

I bowed again before returning back to my place. "I fucked up again.." I whispered to Ryujin.

"Girl-" She facepalmed.

I kept receiving the same criticism on my dancing. I did my best to change that but I couldn't, I didn't even understand how he wanted me to do it.. But JYP was kind enough to let me pass 7 evaluations, before losing hope. Whenever it was my turn to receive comments he just sighed and told me "Do your best. Or you'll be kicked out". It was already September again when he totally lost hope in me..

"Sujin, you practiced hard for a year. Your practice won't deceive you" Yeji told me, trying to console me, knowing that I'll get kicked out at any moment. The five girls already knew that it was our last dance together, I knew it too but I didn't want to believe it.

"You'll do well, I believe in you!" Ryujin smiled.

"It's not impossible, just don't lose hope.." Chaeryoung pat my shoulder

It was already the end of the performance. "Kang Sujin.." I stepped forward as soon as I heard my name. JYP let a sigh before looking at my eyes "That's it. You already know what I'll tell you again. Your movements, your timing, your expressions, everything is perfect but you still dance like a boy, I don't see any femininity in your dancing. You can't go with them anymore, this is where your career with this group ends"

"Yes.." I bowed and smiled before leaving the room with disappointment.
