Episode 11. Internal meetings

Recently, Song Min-su, the director of M Practical Music Academy, has a problem.

It was because of a new student who had recently joined the academy.

M Applied Music Academy has one of the best curriculums and instructors in the Seoul area, so joining the academy itself is not easy.

It is said that there is no way to sing well in the neighborhood. It is not a music academy that anyone can take if they pay money.

To begin with, Song Min-soo is not a person who reveals his money. Like other directors of practical music academies, if he had run the academy solely for money, he would not have hired a teacher like Han Jun-hyung.

If that were the case, they would have brought in a singer-turned-instructor who, even if his skills were a bit low, had a great name value and could attract an influx of new students.

While most academies chose that method, Minsu Song thought of a different vision alone.

The idea was to hire instructors with A-level leadership skills who could bring out the best in future superstar talent.

It’s okay even if you’ve never debuted as a singer. It's okay for her not to be famous.

All you have to do is help your talent ignite.

In that sense, hiring Han Jun-hyung and Kim Yong-jun, who did not have much public recognition, was a good choice.

Now, students who grew up under their guidance have debuted, raising the reputation of the academy, and with the increased reputation, new students with greater talent have joined, creating a positive virtuous cycle.

However, this is only possible if it is a predictable talent category. Song Min-soo has no experience meeting overwhelming geniuses who can surpass such 'ordinary talents'. Because I thought such stories only existed in novels and movies.

In fact, most people thought it was either a little special or extremely ordinary.

“Director, I have something to tell you.”

Teacher Junhyung Han spoke to Director Minsoo Song.

“What’s going on, teacher?”

“Isn’t there a new student, Shinyul, who recently joined us?”

“I know. That handsome young man. He said he could be an actor.”

“Have you seen the score history I gave when I took the test?”

“At least it’s barely over 60 points, but under 70 points, isn’t it?”

“I gave it 85 points.”

“85 points!?”

Song Min-su answered dryly without thinking, and then opened his mouth in great surprise and said.

M Applied Music Academy has been conducting special tests for students wishing to take vocal courses since about two years ago.

That was to filter out students in advance who were not very talented.

They intentionally made it impossible to use the prepared MR file and created unfamiliarity by having teacher Junhyung Han play the accompaniment himself.

If the score did not exceed 60 points, a failure was given.

Teacher Junhyung Han was very strict when it came to scoring, so even if he successfully completed the vocal test, it was rare for him to score over 60 points.

Over the past year, under the guidance of teacher Junhyung Han, the vocal test pass rate was 35%.

Also, the percentage of students with a score over 70 is 2%, and since 50 students passed so far, it can be said that only one student passed.
