Chapter 2 Aris
That night, after Cui Youqi returned home, she told her parents about her upcoming debut and handed them the artist contract.
Cui's father carefully studied the contract for a while, then called his sister-in-law Jin Yeon-jung and asked about the specific situation carefully. Cui's father thought for a while before he asked Yuqi, "Are you really sure you want to be an idol?"
Choi Yoo-qi's parents Choi Sanghyuk and Kim So-jin are professors in the Department of Philosophy and Music at Kyung-hee University in Peninsula. When they learned that Ao-qi wanted to be a trainee, they did not object too much. It seemed that they thought that it was good for their children to have an interesting life experience, as long as it did not affect their studies.
But today, my son told them that he could debut. What you have to bear when being an idol and being a trainee is different. Because of these differences, the impact on future life will inevitably be different. Then there are many issues that need to be discussed.
Yusu saw his father sitting upright on the sofa in the living room, with the words "serious" written on his face, and the expression on his face became serious.
"Dad, I'm sure I can be responsible for my own future. I have made my life plan. I want to give it a try."
"Then can you tell me what your academic plan is? Do you want to go to college? If you want to study, will it take you time to take the college entrance examination next year? While you have to run your itinerary as an artist, you have to prepare for the exam. Are you sure you can take care of it?"
"If you choose not to go to college, what will your plan after your debut fail?"
"For example, after you successfully debuted, no one paid attention to you, so when do you have to persevere until you give up?"
Cui's father raised these questions calmly. As parents, they raise a hundred children and are worried. Although they know that their children are independent, they still want to give it a little.
"Don't worry, I will take the college entrance examination. First of all, art students have not so high requirements for cultural courses. In my case, it's absolutely fine."
"Second..."
“……”
As Cui Youqi answered questions seriously, the expression on Cui's father's face gradually became eased, showing a look of relief.
Immediately, Cui Youqi leaned on the sofa and changed the subject.
"And, aren't you and my mother professors from Kyung Hee-da? I can "go to you" too."
Hearing this, Cui’s father and mother laughed.
Jin Suzhen laughed and scolded: "Boy, your father and I are two ordinary university professors. Where can I arrange your big Buddha?"
"But son, you can't make it through then. Your father and I will work hard to make you come to our school as a cleaning company." Cui's father continued to tease.
After discussing these issues, the family knew each other well, and happily changed the topic and started chatting.
The next morning, Choi Sanghyuk took Choi Yoo-se to S. to sign the contract.
The Peninsula entertainment industry has exposed the unreasonable treaties of major brokerage companies this year due to JYJ's lawsuit. Under the supervision of the Peninsula Fair Trading Commission, major economic companies have changed the economic contract period with their artists to 7 years. Although S. has also changed it to seven years on the surface, it is actually still ten years.
However, as long as you are an idol on the Peninsula, everyone will do this. In the end, Cui Youqi signed his name on this contract. The first 7 years plus the first 3-year priority renewal rights. If you debut overseas, you will automatically renew your contract for 3 years.

【Seoul Hanlin Art High School】
Because I was going to sign a contract in the morning, Cui Youqi came to school after two classes. As soon as he sat in his seat, two boys came to his desk.
Both of them have similar watermelon heads and wear black-framed glasses. The one with darker skin and slightly smaller face is Song Minhao. The one with fair skin and slightly longer face is Joo Zhixun.
These two were classmates that Choi Youqi met when she entered high school. Because they both liked music and chatted frequently, they quickly became friends. Because of them, Choi Youqi participated in many underground activities and met many underground musicians.
"Why are you here to attend class so late today?" Song Minhao was the first to speak, his eyes full of doubts. Biao Zhixun didn't say anything, but he was also staring at Choi Youqi curiously.
Cui Youqi raised his eyebrows and said mysteriously, "I'll be ready to debut soon. I just went to the company to sign an artist contract." After that, he narrowed his eyes with a pair of peach blossom eyes, grinned, and showed a mouthful of big white teeth.
"What?!Really?" Song Minhao looked shocked.
Then he laughed again, "I knew you can do it."
After hearing this, Biao Zhixun pushed Yusu's shoulder with joy, "Wow~ It's so good. When you debut, we will go to support you."
"You two are too hurry up! But then, you have to call me senior," Cui Youqi made a joke.
"Ah! Stop showing off here!"
"Strictly speaking, you have to call us brother."
He knew that these two people were trainees in a company called STARDOM. And with their strength, it should be fine to debut. However, who can tell some things correctly? Cui Youqi had to use this joke to encourage the two friends.
Just like this, the day's class is over.
After saying goodbye to his two friends at the school gate, Choi Youqi went to S. and began to prepare for his debut.
As soon as she entered the company, Choi Youqi was called to a conference room. Inside were Li Xiuman, Kenzie, and several staff members of the S. Planning Department.
Regarding Choi's debut, Lee Soo-man decided to participate in the production personally. Kenzie was responsible for the music production.
After a friendly discussion with Li Xiuman and the planning department, the planning team determined Cui Youqi's future publicity direction and personality.
Li Xiuman intends to let Choi Qi participate in the production of the album, and seems to want to announce to the outside world that S. Company can not only cultivate idols with "good character and academic performance", but also cultivate idols with "artist" style like YG G-Dragon.
As for the character design, the plan provided by the planning team is a role like a big wolf dog on stage and a little milk dog off stage. Although Cui Youqi felt a little uncomfortable with the image of a little milk dog off stage, he also understood that this really attracted more female fans.
Anyway, the character design can be seen from SJ and the predecessors of Girls' Generation. I just maintained it for a while at the beginning, and then I started to let myself go.
At the end, in the conference room, Cui Youqi confirmed his stage name - Aris.
