In "ProduceX101", there is a trainee who has steadily risen from the initial obscurity to the present, and he is Cao Chengyan of Lehua Entertainment. The Korean network even summed up Cao Chengyan's real life record, practicing for nine years, failing to interview SM 50 times, and being hidden in the snow for 3 years after debuting, such a real experience really made people feel relished after watching it and at the same time very regretful.
When he was a child, because his parents were in business, Cao Chengyan also followed his parents and kept moving. In the sixth grade, in order to officially start his football career, he went to Brazil to study. A sixth-grade child who left home and sweated on the "SC Corinthians" in Brazil, it was a South Korean music program "Music Bank" that could alleviate Cao Chengyan's thoughts. Use the shared computer in the junior soccer team's dormitory to spend a day downloading the stage of the music bank and watching it over and over again.
Since then, Cao Chengyan also had a dream in his heart to stand on the stage, and in order to realize this dream, Cao Chengyan returned to South Korea from Brazil and gave up football. After Cao Chengyan's mother heard that Cao Chengyan had a dream of becoming a singer, she told him to learn English first, so Cao Chengyan returned to South Korea and went to the Philippines to study for another year.
During the message in the Philippines, Cao Chengyan participated in more than 50 interviews with SM, YG, JYP and other planning agencies, SM is interviewed every week, and Cao Chengyan goes every two weeks. The strange thing is that after the interview, the staff always let Cao Chengyan stay alone, but every time he did not pass, even Cao Chengyan himself was confused.
After SM hit the wall more than 50 times, Cao Chengyan finally succeeded in participating in the YG interview and began to practice life. After a year and six months, trainee Cao Chengyan had the opportunity to debut. At that time, YG and Lehua jointly created a Chinese-Korean combination UNIQ, UNIQ was composed of YG trainees South Korean members Cao Chengyan and Kim Sung-joo and Lehua trainees Chinese members Wang Yibo, Li Wenhan and Zhou Yixuan, UNIQ officially debuted in 2014.
The focus of UNIQ's activities is mainly in China, but few people in South Korea understand this combination. Cao Chengyan himself joked: "Even if you drink beer in the Han River, you don't have to worry about being recognized", which is really full of heartache. Although the road is very bumpy, Cao Chengyan's mother is still very supportive of her son's dream and strives to help. Therefore, Cao Chengyan's dream of becoming a well-known singer has become more and more intense.
However, cao chengyan, who has been active in China, encounters an event that shocks Aidou's life: the restriction of Han Ling. After that, Cao Chengyan's group UNIQ stopped its activities and began a three-year blank period career, almost hidden in the snow. During this period, Cao Chengyan uploaded his own songs under the stage name of Woodz, and also participated in many album productions, even if he could not stand on the stage, he did not give up his musical dreams.
Returning as a trainee who has been practicing for nine years, Cao Chengyan participated in "ProduceX101", and with his humorous personality and talent exuded on the stage of cover EXO's "love shot", he climbed up from the lower circle step by step and won the 28th place in the first pick publication.
Those who work hard will not be disappointed, and I believe that Cao Chengyan will get better and better. In such a tortuous life record, it would be comforting to be able to leave such a mark as the debut of the final member.
