He ran up to the stage and started off the dance with a few advanced versions of flips.
And a corkscrew to end it.
Everyone in the audience widened their eyes and gasped for air. They began shouting as hard as they could, cheering him on. All the guests, including the MC's, were also absolutely stunned.
It's very unusual for an actor who already basically attained a Hallyu status to be able to dance. But not only could he dance, he als did some crazy acrobatic/martial arts moves.
He was known for his singing as well, due to Dream High.
He could be considered a master of all in the entertainment industry right now, it's just that he had never shown some of those to the world.
But one of those hidden talents of his had finally surfaced today.
He gave a quick and brief glance to the members of SNSD and began moving exactly on the beat.
Their gazes gave off waves of admiration.
And affection.
He moved like a professional locker, bboy'er and hip-hop dancer at the same time, mixing various styles of dance together into one. He used Junho's performance as a guideline
There was only one word that could be used to describe his performance;
Unreal
Meanwhile.... at JYP headquarters:
...
...
...
"LET'S GOOOOO MINJAE, GET EM SONNNNNN WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" JYP was eating popcorn while watching the live version of Strong Heart, cheering for him with all of his heart.
If it could be even called as cheering, it was more like screaming.
The CEO might be cold and harsh to you in person, but he was actually a big softie.
...
...
...
He ended his amazing performance by doing another flip.
Jaemin was breathing heavily, he had given it his all in these past few minutes.
"Saranghae oppa!!!!"
"Marry me!!!"
"Kim Min-jae! Here is my underwear!"
"Jaemin ah- ahhhhh!!!!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH JAEMIN-AAAAAAAAAH"
All kinds of weird and special cheers, especially loud ones, filled the small audience. Even Kang Ho-dong and Lee Seung-gi seemed shocked by the last one.
And that was even more so for the guests, who were basically catching flies with their mouths. They couldn't help but laugh it off afterwards, he just did so well, they hadn't expected that at all.
[ Kang Ho-dong: "Yaaa, Jaemin you can dance so well! I was so shocked that I even forgot to react during the performance! ]
Jaemin smiled and replied, "Thank you, I was quite nervous."
[ Lee Seung-gi: "Are you serious? If you were nervous then I was scared to death! I didn't notice anything at all!" ]
Multiple compliments from the MC's and guests followed. He replied to them all a bright smile, "Thank you all."
[ Kang Ho-dong: "But Jaemin, since you are good at singing and dancing, coupled with the fact that you are a trainee, are you going to debut soon? ]
Everybody in the room looked at him with intense curiousity.
That was a very tricky question.
He knew JYP had plans on debuting him and if it follows the original line of events, it would be in 2014.
GOT7 was created in 2013 and they debuted in January 2014. There are a few videos in 2013 which contains members of GOT7 before their debut. For example, BamBam, Jackson, Mark and Yugyeom appeared in YG vs JYP as the trainee dance team, eventually debuting all together as the dance line in GOT7. Youngjae, Jinyoung and Jaebum were added as the vocal line.
Mark, Jackson and BamBam were the rappers, Jinyoung, Jaebum and Youngjae were vocals. And Yugyeom was the dancer.
This didn't mean they were only restricted to these roles, everybody could sing, dance and rap a little bit.
He had no idea if he was allowed to say that JYP had made plans for him, so he just decided to give a vague answer, "I haven't gotten a definitive plan for debuting, but the possibility also hasn't been ruled out yet, so who knows...."
The MC's tried to probe a little further by asking more direct questions, but Jaemin was able to avoid all of them smoothly. His tone of speech was very eloquent for a young adult, it made quite a weird contrast due to his stunning looks.
His life as a popular, handsome actor and trainee had been quite a hectic one.
He had to be isolated from the masses constantly, he almost never got out of his apartment without being recognized at least thrice, even with a disguise.
And this happened in the middle of the night, imagine if he went out in the middle of the day without a disguise and without bodyguards as well.
Was rape an accurate description?
"Probably", he thought.
And he wasn't even super popular yet, his biggest hits had yet to come.
The Heirs and My Love From The Star.
If he stars in those.....
Who, in the whole country, wouldn't know him?
It made him a little excited, yet scared at the same time. He was already getting absolutely stalked by saesang fans. Finding out that the worst part had not even come yet.....
Was scary, very scary.
As the MC's kept blabbering about the craziness of the guests' stories, he dozed off, thinking about his future popularity and his current fame....
He snuck a few glances at the idols beside him, it was still amazing seeing them so upclose.
Lee Seung-gi however, noticed this.
[ Lee Seung-gi: "Jaemin-ssi, why are you staring at Taeyeon so much?" ]
Jaemin thought, "Shit....."
He replied, "Oh, I was just amazed, I am quite a fan of SNSD as a whole you know, not just Taeyeon."
He gave off a hostile gaze to Seunggi, hoping that it would stop him from trying to bring the attention over to him.
He had already done the things he had planned to do, he had no reason to sit here any longer.
He didn't like variety shows at all. Some of them were fun, most of them however....
Weren't.
He hadn't imagined that idols had to sit through such idiocy, it was like WW2 out here.
The MC's were the Germans, while the idols were trying to fight them off as the Sovjet-Union. The Guests took the role as the collateral damage from the bombs of both sides. Instead of guns, they used their accurate probing ability to find out the juicy info the idols had hidden.
Let's hope he survives shows like this in the future as well, because as an idol, it was a necessity.
