## Becoming Endzone: Snap

*2009*

What's poppin'? I'm Sunsoo. Right now, I'm in the United States. I'll be here for the whole year. That's what's up. Look, I may only be 10 but I think I know what I want to be when I grow up. I think I want to be cool. That's all.

I think the coolest people on Earth are making hip-hop music. The beats are dope and the lyrics are really cool too. I want to be able to have crazy flows like Eminem. I wish I knew how to speak english better. Right now, I'll admit I don't look as cool I sound. I'm in this lame school where my class is just a bunch of people that are all friends with each other and I'm just sitting by myself until lunch. At lunch, I hang out with the upperclassmen. They introduced me to rap music and they are funny. They like to joke with each other, like making fun of each other but with rhymes. It's really funny. I don't participate, I pretend I can't speak any english. I just stand there laughing. For some reason they like me though.

I'm also taking hip-hop classes at school. There' only girls so I feel a little  awkward but I do what I have to do. I feel like dancing is alright but I don't know. It looks a little like just a thing I do and nothing more. I'm not sure I like it that much.

*Back To Korea*

Well, my year in America has come to an end. I guess I had a little bit of fun. I learnt that hip-hop is cool and I learned english. I don't think I'm fluent or anything but I can handle myself.  I forgot to say but my older brother, Youngsoo, was also in America with me. He was doing way better than me and his class actually liked him. He took singing classes which I thought were kinda lame but he's a good singer now so I guess at least it works.

My brother wants us to go and try to audition for SM Entertainment. I'm not really into it but he keeps pushing so I might just do it and get it over with. He suddenly wants to become an idol and said it'd be crazy if we ended up being in a group together. I don't know if I'll be able to stand him for too long.

*Audition 2010*

Apparently, Youngsoo convinced our parents to take us to the national auditions SM is holding at the moment. I prepared something. I don't want to embarass myself, that would be so lame. Youngsoo hasn't shut up in weeks. He is singing the same songs over and over all the time. I hope this audition goes fast.

There's like a billion people here. This sucks. How does Youngsoo think that we stand a chance of joining when there's tons of people trying out. Apparently sometimes no one is picked. Dad said we should try for other companies but Youngsoo insisted on SM. Pretty sure it's because he loves Girl's Generation. In any case, I know this is going to be a waste of time.

After hours, long hours. Youngsoo does his audition as comes out happy. I'm called right after and I go and do my thing. I did it, it was my average performance. It's alright. The judges had a look I could not decipher. They thanked me for coming and that they'll call soon for the results.

*2011*

No call yet from them. In months, all Youngsoo did was wait for a phone call and nothing. I keep telling him they won't call but he keeps saying they said they were going to. He tires me.

Well, the call came. Youngsoo picked up, obviously. What came next is probably the craziest and weirdest thing that has ever happened to me. So, Youngsoo was told to keep auditioning and they told him that I was accepted and they want me to become a trainee. That was a shock to everyone in the family.

It was this event that made me realize what a good brother Youngsoo is. He looked absolutely crushed from the rejection but he told me he was happy for me and, honestly, he was. He put aside his frustration and showered me with his support. I did not expect it. He encouraged me to take it and go for it. I sincerely said that I had no problem rejecting the offer but he insisted I go for it

After some discussion with my parents, it was decided I was going to join SM. My brother didn't say he was going to try to audition again. Though a little unsure, I'm going to go for it.

*Trainee Days*

Here I am at SM, being another bee in the beehive. There's a lot of talented people here. They all share this big dream of debuting. I guess that vibe got to me because I really want to do it too.

I admit that when I joined I didn't talk to anyone. Also, I think some people were scared of me. I did just fine in every class but didn't stand out until we had lyric writing exercises. I was the only that included english words. After that, I became a someone among the trainees. There were a few someones among the trainees like Kyungsoo, because he was tall and fierce, a great dancer; Haeseong, because he was tall and fierece, a great dancer; Sunwoo, because he was handsome; Yeonsik, because he was handsome. Well, I guess that was redundant. But I'm as short as the girls, I'm not handsome like most of guys and I dance average but I became someone because I knew english and secondarily because I was a little scary, but mostly the english thing.

I also made a friend. His name is Minjae, he is my age. He sings really well. I think that for the first time in my life I have a best friend.

*SMROOKIES*

SM's next boy group is about to debut. I don't know if I'm going to be chosen. Minjae did, obviously, because he sings really well. Kyungsoo because he is just amazing. Sunwoo because he is really good looking. Yeonsik because he sings really well and has a deep voice. I don't know if I have a reason good enough to be called up.

Okay, apparently the world is crazy. I got chosen along with Haeseong. How? I am speechless. Haeseong was like one of the best trainees. I'm not even close to him, specially height-wise. Anyways, it's not time for me to question my own abilities. I'll prove myself worthy. I'm going to debut.
