open event: street performance; singing 9ì12ìŒ by Rain
{streets of hongdae} Â {2017-09-12}
The streets of Hongdae in the evening were a fantastic view to everyone who was looking for undiscovered talent in Seoul. Not only could one see the most fashionable teenagers with their pretty faces looking for some new clothes to add to their chic wardrobe but if the timing was right unknown singers and dancers â most of them doing it for a hobby or in hopes to be discovered by a street agent one day â giving their best to entertain the audience stopping by.
Especially those small groups of dancers were something familiar to Soonyoung so he spend his free days every now and then there to see how they were doing. He didnât know anyone personally but whenever he couldnât hold still anymore heâd joke around with them and end up doing a performance or two. He never really gave his best, it was all just fun to him and entertaining the viewers with some funny actions was so much more joyful than showing off his dancing without any interaction.
But this time he would have to take it serious. Because dancing might be all fun and games but singing was another level. Soonyoung never sang seriously in front of many people but after hearing there were some scouts going around the area to cast new trainees he couldnât let that chance pass by. Trainees had to know how to sing as well so heâd need to show this off every now and then as well.
Never in his life the blonde has been so nervous about a performance. He was standing at the side of the booth and watching how some of the other guys were setting up their location as the leader finally grabbed the mic and announced theyâd start in a couple of minutes. Although she was the smallest of them all, the girl surely knew how to grab the attention of other people and so she made some jokes, telling them how to anticipate what was waiting for them. Especially since theyâd have a special guest with them this night. And with that she introduced Soonyoung as an upcoming trainee and encouraging everyone to give him a round of applause because he will open the stage on his own.
It was a lie that he would be a trainee but the second she said it some girls of the audience were all ears and looked for their phones to film whatever he was going to do. If possible Soonyoung got even more nervous as he stepped up to the small leader and took the microphone from her. With a shy smile he bowed to the audience and took a deep breath to introduce himself. But before he could get a word out the music started to play and he blinked a few times. It only started and wasnât following his plan. But looking at the people facing him and seeing their anticipating glares and joyful sighs when recognizing the melody he smiled faintly and forgot about his plan. It didnât matter if everything worked according to plan as long as heâd get through it somehow.
And so he started to sing and put his all into it. Barely he has been so serious about anything but singing this song was something he wouldnât joke about. And the clapping of the audience after he wrapped it up was a sure sign that he did well. Or at least he didnât make a complete fool out of himself.
âThanks a lotâ he bowed his head and put on his most charming smile, âI hope you enjoyed it and that youâll look out for me. But now letâs start with the real thing, alright? You surely know Blackpink, right? The guys prepared something fun for you~â With this he stepped back and smiled brighter than ever before. Dancing a bit now was definitely what heâd need after such a performance.

Yeah: Itâs been one of the first songs Soonyoung danced hip-hop to. He had never heard many English up until that point and even nowadays he doesnât understand the song completely (like most English songs tbh) but he still got it in his favorite playlists because itâs an amazing track to dance to.
Ring Dong Dong: The song responsible for his decision to become an idol. Heâs the biggest fanboy of Key J-Hyo and tried to imitate him ever since this era. Soonyoung knows everything about his favorite idol and will never get tired of dancing to RDD.
Happy: This should go without much words as it describes Soonyoung perfectly. Heâs a happy child, grinning or laughing all the time and barely being upset at all. And he will try his best to make everyone around him feel the same.
Lush Life: I had this song on his blog earlier already but I had to include it here. Soonyoung himself doesnât know the song very well - he maybe heard it once or twice and thought itâs got a nice beat but didnât pay too much attention to it yet. But the lyrics describe his life pretty well. Heâs living to his fullest and doesnât like to make compromises when it comes to things he loves. And right now thatâs dancing, itâs his âcrushâ.
TT:  Another song in his âmost favorite songsâ playlist. Soonyoung might not be a huge fan of Twice but he cherishes their songs. Heâs got quite a lot of aegyo and although not often he might use it to get what he wants as most people will cringe and try to make him stop. TT-aegyo is one of his favorites at the moment.
Shining Diamond: Though I tried to not include any songs by Seventeen this one couldnât be left out when describing Hoshi (yes, Hoshi, not Soonyoung!). Soonyoung is always happy and cheerful and might seem carefree and quite dumb but heâs working harder than people might think. In the back of his mind thereâs always the thought of getting better and reaching his goals. Heâs a diamond in the rough and will do whatever it takes to achieve his dreams.Â
open event: dance-off; freestyle to love more (chris brown)Â

â video reference only for soonyoungâs dancing, his opponent is not jihoon!Â
Sweat was dripping down his temple as he watched the other contestant on the stage. The past weeks he had practiced so much to come up with a nice choreography for a local dance contest at the mall just to be thrown into a 1:1 freestyle battle with another guy. He couldnât understand how they ended up with the exact same amount of points after overall 2 and a half hours of performances but there they were. The song was playing and they were supposed to do some freestyle in order to convince the jury. And thatâs where Soonyoung was definitely in favor: No matter how great his performance has been, his opponent didnât seem to be good at freestyle. But Soonyoung was.
In the first round the audience had cheered equally for the both of them, making it hard to decide who would be on top but watching the other male Soonyoung noticed that he felt uncomfortable. This wasnât what he was normally doing and although he tried to cover it up the blonde was able to see those small pauses when he wondered what he should do next. Soonyoung got always told that the best freestyler donât think about what they should do next, it just happens. Theyâre just following the music, their body is doing everything by itself. And although Soonyoung himself wasnât good at this method either he had found something else that was making it a lot easier on him: storytelling. If heâd make up a story while dancing there wouldnât be any weird breaks, moments heâd have to think about whatâs up next.
But as he started the second round Soonyoung noticed how difficult it was to tell a story when he didnât understand a word the song was about. They didnât even tell them the title before the song started so he had nothing to reach out for. Instead he just followed his instincts. During the last week he had done some freestyle so often in order to find some fitting steps for his routine that he still had it all in his mind. Step 1, step 2, move a, move b â it all came so naturally it had to look like he had studied it all along. Maybe he was just lucky, maybe he was discovering what people meant when they were talking about âthe body doing all the work by itselfâ. He didnât know and there was actually no time to think about it. There was so much more on Soonyoungâs mind, it was a pity to let the other male take the center of the stage again.
And then it happened. Soonyoung couldnât hold back bouncing on the side of the stage and doing some random dance moves. His opponent had wasted the time until the beat drop and Soonyoung wished he could still be dancing at this moment. He didnât want to steal the show but seeing the insecurity of the other male while the beat was making it so easy felt so wrong. Soonyoung knew he had won and so did the other. Giving up after just a few seconds he walked off to the side to make some space for Soonyoung. And he didnât hesitate for a mere second to take his spot and dance like there was no tomorrow. He felt so much joy that a smile couldnât be held back for too long.
The audience was screaming, the jury nodding to the beat, he was dancing as if it would be the most natural thing. The only person who didnât seem to enjoy it was the other contestant. And no matter how happy Soonyoung was at this moment he couldnât get around feeling bad for the boy. Nobody had asked them to do freestyle when they signed up for the contest and being confronted with it in some kind of finale wasnât fair. The blonde boy would feel exactly the same if he would be in his skin so he wanted to cheer him up. Looking at him he waved him closer and hoped he would understand what he was trying to do.
Even in competitions Soonyoung wasnât cruel towards his opponents, after all it was way more fun to do things together and be happy together than just fighting alone. To wrap up the performance they both stand next to each other and danced the same move â together in sync. Soonyoung let out a chuckle as it worked perfectly fine and went to the other to hug him. In the end it should be a fun experience for everyone.

A nervous chuckle leaves his lips as the loading bar shows the video is fully uploaded and ready to be posted. Soonyoung has done many stupid things â and more than enough are public to the whole world â but he never regretted something like he was about to regret this. Posting this video was probably the worst idea he has ever had, but he had no choice.
On the other side of the desk his roommate was laughing about his reaction and telling him to finally hit the button. He wanted to watch this video. And although it was hard Soonyoung did like he was told, after all he lost a bet and had to post it anyways. Before he could even react the other boy was coming closer and clicking on the link to the upload, starting the video immediately. Soonyoung was screwedâŠ
The screen faded from black to a light room, though the room itself was barely visible at the moment as Soonyoung stood just inches away from the lens and grinned widely while checking that the camera was working properly. âHiii~â he greeted the viewers in a sing-sang voice and took a few steps back, finally showing off he was in a dance studio, the wall to his left completely covered with a mirror. âMy nameâs Hoshi and I will deliver the greatest performance of PPAP you ever saw!â A short giggle is falling from his lips before he run off to the mirrored wall in order to get a coat â a fuzzy, furry coat reaching down to his ankles â and a pair of sunglasses. Putting those clothes on the boy looks ridiculous but he doesnât even seem to care while running out of the picture. It takes a few moments before he comes back and music starts to play in the background. And even without him mentioned beforehand what he was about to do the first seconds of the song playing would be enough it guess it. His head turns to look into the camera and he mouthes the first words of the song.
âPPAPâ
As soon as the music is on, heâs starting to move â stepping from one side to the other and moving his head forward like a pigeon while doing so before going on to do the macarena, or actually trying to since he has to stop as the actual lyrics start.
âI have a pen, I have a apple. Apple-pen.â
This time Soonyoungâs singing along almost loud enough to cover the music playing and grins widely while doing so. Especially after heâs reaching into the pockets of the oversized coat to get out not only a pen but a red apple as well, he seems to be pretty satisfied with himself. Not even the juice running down his hand is bothering him while performing.
âI have a pen, I have pineapple. Pineapple-pen.â
Letting the apple slip into his right pocket as quickly as possible heâs getting out another pen and a second apple from his left pocket. This time itâs a yellow one and walking closer to the camera he shows off the word âpineâ written on it before stabbing the apple with the pen. Again heâs ignoring any inconveniences and going on to dance and sing like a pro.
And thatâs it. A kick towards the camera and Soonyoung turns around, the picture slowly fading back to black.
He shakes his head as heâs getting up. Not even listening to the laughing of his roommate heâs turning away from the computer, heading to the kitchen to get something to drink. âIâm gonna claim I was drunk if someone asks...â This would definitely be the most embarrassing performance heâd never get rid of.
