Becoming a K-Pop Idol

Chapter 48

Girls, Girls, Girls

14 January, 2014

"All of you are going to shine on there tonight?", asked JYP

"Yes sir!" replied the group in unison.

"Are you all going to have a successful debut stage!"

"Yes sir!"

JYP took a deep breath and yelled, "Then go and rock the stage!"

Jaemin, acting like a real leader, said, "Alright, come on boys."

They all stood in a circle, stuck out their hands and performed their motiviational cheer, which they desperately needed. "... 1,2,3 GOT7!!!!!"

Jinyoung spoke up, "Guys, don't be nervous, debuting isn't as hard as you think, just think hard about what you practiced."

Jinyoung and Jaebum had already debuted as JJ project in 2012, they had more than enough experience. Jaemin was also not very nervous, he had been on the stage more than the others.

Their debut was on the M! Countdown show on the 14th of January in 2014. They would begin with their intro that Jaemin had improved by a bit and perform Girls, Girls, Girls after that.

The song itself hadn't changed much, the choreo and the music video however, did change quite a bit.

Of course, Youngjae wasn't there. He was replaced by the devilishly handsome Jaemin with a voice as smooth and soothing as sweet honey after all.

The lyrics were also divided a bit differently, meaning, other members had other parts of the song.

Jaemin mostly had Jaebum's lyrics, while Jaebum mostly had Youngjae's lyrics. It didn't make a lot of difference due to the extended use of autotune, but the difference was still noticeable if you listened to the original version.

Their version sounded better, no doubt about that. Jaemin's voice was the main cause.

His voice....

His singing was like whiskey, smooth with a slow burn that lit peoples' desires up from the inside. Which desires will depend on the person, and a little bit of imagination.....

The group headed towards the stage and waited before the decor would come into play.

A countdown went off in their earpieces,

"5..."

"4..."

Jaemin had to admit, this countdown caused his nerves to go haywire. His anxiousness was literally having a heated debate with his confidence inside of him.

"3..."

Jinyoung said, "We can do this everyone, let's make it a debut to remember!"

"2..."

"1..."

Jaemin whispered a funny joke in a perverted manner so that the others wouldn't be so tense, "We will make the audience climax because of our performance, hehehe"

They all grinned a bit.

"0..!"

The intro started playing and their debut stage had officially begun.

The world now had another Korean boy group in it's in its midst,

GOT7.

...

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OPPA'S SARANGHAEEEEE!!!!", screamed a young girl after the performance

"JACKSON GEGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", yelled a Chinese girl

"They were..... ok", said an unimpressed fan in the back of the audience.

The rest were all smiles, Mark, Jackson, BamBam, Jaebum, Jinyoung, Yugyeom were looking at each other like they had just won five million dollars.

Jaemin however, only heard this one loud cheer of the Western fan right in front of him, or rather, beneath him.

A whole group of about nine Western fans were in front him, it seemed they all came together. The rest was all Korean or of Asian descent.

She screamed in a hoarse voice, "JAEMIN-AHHHHH, DESTROY ME DADDY!"

It was then that he realised, what a sasaeng fan actually meant.

He never understood them, how could someone go literally crazy because of some pretty dude that was dancing and singing? He knew that people could really be moved when they saw him, he felt the same way in the past whenever he saw his beloved idols.

But screaming this right in front of them....

That was just too far.

He looked a bit closer because he was curious to see the faces of his fans. Especially those of the foreigners, racism was still quite the issue in Korea so you wouldn't often see such a big group of them at a debut show. He was suprised to see that a group of foreigners actually came here.

That aside, that action just now was actually nothing compared to the actions of other sasaeng fans. Koreans and people from other parts of Asia were just as crazy.

From what he heard, those female fans even wrote letters in their period blood! Or they broke into their houses, implanting camera's everywhere!

It definitely rang some bells for him, he had to be wary.

They all bowed a few times and left the stage, where JYP and their manager were waiting for them.

JYP said excitedly, "You did well boys, no mistakes, as expected."

The stylists, managers and even some of the members of 2PM cogratulated them on their successful debut.

Jaemin responded, "The next stage will be even better'"
