TRIPLE THREAT CHALLENGE vs HWANG YEJI
✦ .*･｡ﾟ┊ performance: jennie - solo [ from 0:03 - 1:54 ] outfit & hair
when she had first heard the news-- yeji told herself she wouldn’t try out for it. as they days went on however she found herself more and more intrigued. a part of her wanted to try it, just for the experience-- another part of her wondered if she was ready to even try. she wasn’t a triple threat. yeji was a dancer after all-- so she wondered what on earth she would get out of applying.
yeji consulted her cousin, friend and oppa-- they all said she should try.
there was nothing for her to lose, if anything she would be a little more known? maybe? it wasn’t fame she was after-- yeji just wanted to perform.
like that the days before the performance went by, yeji prepared a song that had both singing, dancing and rapping. the rap was in english-- having lived in the us for three years she felt more comfortable rapping in english rather than korean. there was also the singing but yeji never thought of herself as a good singer, average at best-- so apart of her worried that this song might be out of her range but she mustered up the courage. looked up how to warm up and keep your voice warmed up on youtube, google and naver. in the end she learned a couple tricks that she thought helped.
april 21st came faster than she had imagined and now she was in a line-- all ready.
“hwang yeji?” she heard her name get called and she teacted immideately, “yes!”
then it was her turn, “introduce yourself,” and like that she was faced directly with the ceo of trc entertainment.
“i am 19 year old, hwang yeji.”
short and sweet, that was what she wanted her introduction to be-- then she got into her starting pose. the song started, when it was time she started singing-- putting on a bright and loveable expression on her face as she sang the first couple of lines but then her act dropped. her look became sterner.
you got me like
yeji put a little more strength in her voice, unintentonally pulling her voice into her chest so it was fuller. making it easier for her to reach the higher notes-- they weren’t all that high but they had been within her comfortzone. every move she made was purposeful and soft at the same time. her facial expressions portraying what the lyrics said.
what came up soon was the rap, it was what had wrried her but she had practiced and memorised them. the rap started and she focused on delivering the lyrics properly. she might have stumbled a little once or twice but overall the rap section passed smoothly and then the end of her performance was approaching fast. that was the curse of only having a two minute long performance-- she needed to catch his attetion in those two minutes, the ceo. so she put on her best act and then sang the last line.
빛이 나는 솔로
yeji ended the song and performance in the pose, she stood there for a couple of seconds before quickly bowing at tiger jk and the other coaches. yeji put on a bright smile, “have a good day,” she said before being escorted away. yeji put on her jacket-- now all she had to do was wait.
