At the beginning of the new year, S.M has made another big move.

In January, the company officially issued a statement announcing the upcoming launch of a new male singing group NCT, and released three core concept trailers at once in the same month.

NCT's combination setting is different from any combination S.M has launched before - it has the concept of unlimited accommodation.

To put it bluntly, the number of members in this group’s member list is not fixed, and people will continue to be added in the future.

It can be seen from the three trailers released at the beginning that the group will be an unprecedented large-scale group, and it will carry out activities in the form of different sub-units from the beginning of its debut.

S.M is launching a new boy group, and there is a lot of talk about it from the outside world. Within the company, the processes of selecting members, recording songs and shooting MVs are already underway.

That night, Zheng Enlin, who had just gone to the cafeteria to have dinner, did not go back to the practice room to practice dancing. Instead, she sneaked into the blue sky and white clouds practice room and watched the seven people of Li Dinu rehearse.

Mark Lee, Hwang Injun, Lee Dinoo, Lee Donghyun, Na Jaemin, Jong Chenle and Park Jisung are the debut members of the NCT subunit that have been decided. Jung Eunlin learned a lot of inside information from them, such as the secrets of different subunits.

Name, member configuration, currently scheduled debut time, etc.

All male trainees in S.MROOKIES who have been released are basically included in the NCT project.

At the end of the rehearsal, Zheng Enlin handed the water to the teenagers with ease.

Luo Zaimin walked aside with the mineral water and rubbed his waist slightly. Zheng Enlin saw it with sharp eyes and quickly walked back to where the backpack was. Then she found a plaster patch from the bag and handed it to Luo Zaimin.

"You still carry this with you?" Luo Zaimin looked surprised, "Is your waist bad?"

"You have a bad waist." Zheng Enlin rolled her eyes.

The intensity of dancing in female group dances is usually not at the same level as that in male group dances. Let alone female trainees, there are very few female artists with back injuries.

As long as you pay more attention to relevant news on the Internet, you will find that physical problems such as waist injuries, fractures or torn ligaments mostly happen to male idols.

"I prepared these for Brother Mark and Dinu. As you know, they practice dancing very hard and their waists have never been good. After wearing them a few times, they will become a habit."

Zheng Enlin said it very naturally. When she heard what she said, Luo Zaimin tore off the plaster package and paused.

He didn't know why, but he was in an inexplicably bad mood, and an emotion that couldn't be described as happy suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart.

This feeling came suddenly. Luo Zaimin didn't think about it, and he didn't bother to think about it. He quickly applied the medicine patch to his lower back.

This was just an ordinary episode that happened between him and Zheng Enlin.

It wasn't until a long time later that Luo Zaimin recalled today's scene inexplicably. He realized belatedly that this feeling——

It's actually jealousy.

…

After watching the rehearsal of seven people and giving them water and plasters, Zheng Enlin felt that it was enough. After saying hello to Li Dinu and the others, she returned to her practice room alone with her bag on her back.

After practicing until almost ten o'clock, Zheng Enlin packed her things and prepared to leave.

At this moment, a cute little head poked his head in at the door of the practice room, and found that Zheng Enlin was still in the practice room. Park Zhisheng's eyes widened in surprise, and he said behind him, "Nu Na is still there! Nu Na is not there yet.

Walk!"

The young boy's excited call was immediately responded to by the other six brothers. Li Donghyun walked into the practice room with his bag on his back. When he saw Zheng Enlin who was still packing her things, her tone was in disbelief.

"What's going on? Are you working so hard now?"

Zheng Enlin glanced at him and said: "Flowing water does not rot, door hinges do not have beetles, and they move."

Li Dongyue was stunned.

"What...what?" He immediately turned around to look at Huang Renjun and Zhong Chenle, "What Enlin just said was in Chinese, right? What do you mean?"

"...I don't know." Huang Renjun scratched his hair in embarrassment.

"I don't know either." Zhong Chenle shrugged calmly, "I don't understand it at all."

So Li Donghyun went back to look at Zheng Eunlin.

Not only him, but several other people at the scene were also silently waiting for Zheng Enlin to explain.

Li Dinu, who had spent the longest time with her and understood the girl's personality and style best, couldn't help but smile.

Although he has been a victim before, to be honest, he really likes similar scenes.

Listening to Zheng Enlin say something with complicated pronunciation that is completely incomprehensible, and then watching her explain with a proud and nonchalant expression.

The feeling that I know the most and am the smartest in the world is fresh and cute.

"The meaning of this sentence is that flowing water will not stink, and door shafts that rotate frequently are not easily eaten by insects. It is a metaphor that things that move frequently are not easily corroded and can remain unchanged for a long time." Saying this, Zheng Enlin said.

She carried the bag behind her back with a neat and graceful movement, like a heroine.

"The same goes for people. You have to use your brain more to avoid becoming stupid. You need to practice more to get rewards and make progress."

"Dafa..." Park Zhisheng's eyes were bright, and he applauded twice after hearing Zheng Enlin's explanation.

Compared with his caring support, Luo Zaimin is like a devil.

"Hey Yigu, it turns out you are not like this. You run away immediately after your afternoon class and don't even bother to eat the food in the cafeteria."

"Ah!" Zheng Enlin, who originally wanted to be modest, was furious, "Can you speak? No one will treat you as a mute if you don't speak."

Luo Zaimin just laughed, arrogantly and provocatively.

"I'm really ungrateful. I won't use the plaster I bought for you next time." With that said, Zheng Enlin walked out quickly. Li Dongxu and others took the initiative to make way for him, but Luo Zaimin didn't move.

Move and stand still like a door god.

Zheng Enlin walked up to him angrily and bumped into him deliberately.

"I'll just hurt you to death next time!"

After bumping into someone, maybe because she was afraid that Luo Zaimin would bump into him again, Zheng Enlin quickly ran to the front.

Li Dinu immediately chased after him, followed by the five Li and Mark people who were walking behind, either smiling or chatting with each other.

Luo Zaimin was last with a bag on his back and a leisurely look on his face.

For a moment, I didn't know what I was thinking of, and I laughed in a good mood.

…

At the beginning of April, the boy group NCT U, composed of five members: Lee Jung-yong, Jung Jae-hyun, Lee Young-chin, Kim Do-young, and Mark Lee, officially debuted as NCT’s first unit.

Three months later, the seven-member boy group NCT 127, composed of Moon Junichi, Nakamoto Yuta, Lee Junyong, and Mark Lee, made their official debut by appearing on the M music program "M! tdwn".

S.M launched a new boy group, and the male trainees naturally went through a major change. Many trainees who had no hope of debuting or whose contracts had expired had to choose to leave.

Compared with them, the female trainees under the company are lucky. Everyone is living and practicing step by step. Of course, during this period, S.M continued to recruit many good talents that they liked, such as Jin Minjing and Ning Yizhuo.

, Xu Yiyang and others all joined the company at this stage.

Among the new batch of female trainees recruited by S.M, there are some who have outstanding abilities, such as being good at dancing or good at singing, and some with very good overall skills. They were assigned to Class B as soon as they entered the company. Of course, there are also

She has a pure and beautiful appearance and is very consistent with S.M's consistent aesthetics.

However, just looking at her face, no one can surpass Zheng Enlin.

In late August, NCT DREAM, the 10th-generation youth unit NCT composed of seven members, including Mark Lee, Hwang In-jun, Lee Din-nu, Lee Dong-hyuk, Na Jae-min, Jong Chenle, and Park Ji-sung, performed "Chewing Gum" on the Ment music program "M! tdwn"

Official stage debut.

In fact, when NCT-related planning was started at the beginning, it was decided that NCT DREAM would debut first, NCT 127 second, and NCT U last.

Unfortunately, the top management of the artist group and teacher Lee Soo Man had changing ideas and suddenly changed the order midway. As a result, the seven members of Mark Lee, who had already completed the preparations, had to re-record the song and shoot the MV.

NCT DREAM inherits the concept of unlimited accommodation of NCT, a group brand, and implements a graduation system. In other words, NCT DREAM will only accept young members of the 10th generation. If any member of the group reaches adulthood, they will leave the group.

Detachment.

Take the relatively oldest Mark Lee as an example. Mark Lee was born in 1999. Therefore, he will be active under the name NCT DREAM until 2018 at most, and Mark Lee will quit the group.

Zheng Enlin feels that this model is quite strange, and it is not conducive to the group's team spirit. After all, the staff mobility is too high, but when I think of the concept of NCT itself,... Teacher Li Xiuman is really good at thinking about these things.

of.

After NCT DREAM officially debuted, due to many public schedules, the members significantly reduced the number of visits to the company and school. The number of times Jung Eunlin met and the time they spent together was also drastically shortened.

She and Li Dinu grew up together, and their parents have a very good relationship. Therefore, after Li Dinu made his debut, Zheng’s father and mother Zheng were very happy for him, and they would learn about Li Dinu’s current situation from Zheng Enlin from time to time.

"Well, I haven't seen each other in the past few days. I must have a lot of schedule when I just debuted."

That afternoon, Zheng Enlin held up her mobile phone and talked to Zheng’s mother in the corridor.

Zheng’s mother just returned to China a few days ago to visit Zheng Enlin’s grandparents, so the two of them always spoke in Chinese when talking on the phone.

"I don't know. The place they live in now is definitely not the trainee dormitory, but I haven't been to the place where Li Dinu lived after his debut."

During a phone call that lasted nearly half an hour, Zheng’s mother kept asking a few questions about Li Dinu.

Zheng Enlin didn't feel unhappy. After the call ended, she clicked on Kakatalk and sent two new messages to Li Dinu. When she was about to put away her phone, an uncertain inquiry suddenly came from behind her:

"Um...are you also a Chinese trainee?"

Zheng Enlin turned around and saw a girl with yellow hair standing not far away.

Wearing a college-style white top and simple black trousers, his hands were held together nervously, his face was a little childish, and he should be about the same age as her.

Putting the phone into her pocket, Zheng Enlin stared at the other person for two seconds and suddenly laughed.

It's like the green mountains suddenly bloomed with colorful flowers.
