Chapter 17, the debut interview, a very lively forum...
As the only new girl group member to appear, Han Sang-hee has received a lot of attention.
The moment the reporters saw her, they already had a lot of topics in mind to discuss.
Controversy is what makes something attractive, and gossip and sensationalism are what people choose for entertainment these days.
They all knew what they shouldn't ask during this interview, and they didn't ask it.
However, we should at least give them some space to ask questions.
For example, are the new girl group members just pretty faces?
—Is the new girl group a choice made by YG Entertainment because they succumbed to the market demand for girl groups?
"Giving in to the girl group market? That's a ridiculous notion. Besides new debuts, 2NE1 is also making a comeback. 2NE1's potential is limitless, and that's something I've always believed."
To be honest, of the two girl groups in the company, Yang Hyun-suk definitely prefers 2NE1, which he created himself.
He doesn't hide his bias in his words.
This is also part of their plan. Someone needs to take a stand in separating ETE and YG fanliy.
Yang Hyun-suk doesn't care about the controversies surrounding him, at least not on the surface.
No one who sits in his position seems to care. Anyone who does would become the laughingstock of the circle.
"It's not just pretty kids who can become idols, but kids who are about to debut have the ability to become idols and they are pretty at the same time."
Jiang Suxian was also present at the interview.
She will be known to more people as the planner of ETE.
Therefore, what Jiang Suxian needs to do is maintain ETE.
"I believe that Director Jiang and I share the same preference when it comes to choosing an idol."
Yang Hyun-suk added with a smile.
That's enough.
What kind of topics could these answers be turned into?
—YG's new girl group debut interview: CEO expresses greater optimism for 21
—New girl group, new board members, new division. YG's new girl group is not managed by Yang Hyun-suk.
—The only member of YG's new girl group to have been shown in public is suspected to be just a pretty face.
Creating controversial headlines is a basic skill for entertainment journalists.
But reading too much gossip can be tiring.
A quiet and peaceful world is equally appealing.
Therefore, there are also entertainment media outlets that publish positive content.
In today's era of rising online news, a media outlet may even issue two press releases: one on controversial topics and the other on positive ones.
—What are Sanghee's expectations for her debut?
When asking questions of minors, the journalists maintained their professional ethics.
"Thank you for the question, reporter."
If I had any expectations, I would say that all members of ETE can grow into idols who are loved by people.
With a gentle and tactful response, Han Shangxi does not deliberately create points of controversy.
That would be very tiring.
She longs for the stage, not for entertainment news headlines.
This was a response that everyone present was very satisfied with.
—A stunning new idol confesses his desire to be loved.
—YG's new girl group member—a straightforward and beautiful rookie.
Shortly after the interview concluded, the press release was published by various media outlets.
This kind of entertainment news is also time-sensitive.
They need to make money too.
Is WAY trying to divert attention this time?
LZ: I think they're using the new girl group to cover up the truth. It's hard for YOJ (YOJ's fan club) not to dislike them for doing this. [shrug]
1L: I was thinking they were just using a new girl group as a scapegoat.
2L: Wow, they're obviously promoting the new girl group. They even specifically mentioned their senior group, who are about to make a comeback, in the interview.
3L: Can I not answer a reporter's question? If I don't answer, you guys will start criticizing me.
5L: Anyway, hating each other won't make us criminals, it's just a convenient thing to do.
6L: What's with the sarcastic tone from the person upstairs? Do you have any evidence?
9L: There are so many fans on the forum lately.
10L: It's just that they don't usually mention their favorite idols.
13L: Just because I dislike a company with obviously questionable character, I've been labeled a fan of their rival. Wow, have any normal people who aren't allowed to not follow celebrities actually appeared?
15L: I just hate YG Entertainment's artists. After so many things happening, who would dare to trust this company anymore?
16L: Clarifications are ignored, dislikes are followed by the crowd, and passersby are self-identified.
[Sanghee, a beauty genius—with that face, I'd fall in love with her no matter how talented she is!]
LZ: I finally understand those fans of the blonde girl on the forum. It's hard not to be captivated by that face! [News photo]
1L: If all you have is a face, then you're just a pretty face.
2L: I'll say it again, why can't you judge an idol by their looks? If you don't care about looks, why don't you become a fan of a singer? Your bias can't be a singer because they don't have the talent, right?
5L: Are Western chickens starting to judge by looks now? No wonder they're getting boycotted. It's supposed to be more interesting when it's about skill, right?
8L: Climbing over the bones of their seniors, the news about the senior group is all over the place, and the senior group is about to release an album. The company is so eager to launch a new girl group. It's ironic. They might as well not have launched this group at all. I don't know what the company was thinking.
10L: I'm guessing this person will feature in the new album by the senior group.
11L: You guys said the same thing at the beginning of the year, that there would definitely be newcomers in "TONIGHT", but in fact there weren't any.
The loan mocks you, wishing your favorite group will disband prematurely.
Besides, which of those seniors wasn't praised by others?
16L: It seems the new girl group's fans are quite formidable. [Just passing by, enjoying the gossip]
18L: Anyone would get angry if they were constantly boycotted.
21L: These new girl group fans have the guts to argue with outsiders. It's not just the senior fans who are boycotting you. You think the senior fans are nice, huh? You're jumping around so high every day, even our own family fans can't take it anymore.
22L: Good heavens, are your eyes glued shut? Who started the boycott? It's all because some veteran fans are constantly arguing and bickering, even getting into arguments with those "righteous bystanders," which led to this mess.
...
42L: This time the topic is finally not revolving around the golden-haired girl [relief]. Before entering the thread, I thought the thread would be filled with praise for her beauty, just like outside.
43L: Upstairs, the other buildings with gold accents are still the same [heartbroken]
44L: After the gold-clad members made their appearance, the voices of resistance against the new girl group decreased kkk
45L: After all, her golden beauty is beyond question. The only thing that's been discussed lately is whether she has the talent.
Then came the battle between senior and junior fans, boycotting the new girl group, and righteous bystanders joining senior fans in boycotting the new girl group. It was so common that I got a little tired of watching it.
46L: Someone's threatening to expose the new girl group! [Watching the drama unfold]
【ETE Chat Room (213)】
—My little sister is so pretty!
— Agreed, Sanghee's beauty is so striking that even the gods would admire it.
—Sanghee's divine face is reserved, hehehe. Seeing this face gives me the motivation to argue with people outside.
—Sanghee's performance today was incredibly elegant and graceful; everyone present was charmed by her adorable answers.
—Oh dear, Waiji is still hiding another member. I wonder what those two kids look like.
—She should be very talented. After all, Sanghee's beauty is already top-tier, lol.
—Am I the only one who thinks Sanghee looks very capable? [Peeking]
Wai-Chicken doesn't seem like the type to put underperforming kids into debut positions.
—That's what I think too, and haven't people been saying that Sanghee has been practicing for many years?
Let's not be like outsiders and predict the worst beforehand; it would upset my sister.
Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. The members of the new girl group are all very nice kids.
What was the public's reaction after the news of the interview came out?
It would be a lie to say Han Shangxi wasn't curious, but she didn't go to look for it on purpose.
Because everyone in the company is aware of the current general trend of public opinion surrounding YG.
Public trust in YG has hit rock bottom.
YG's existing fans wouldn't like a new girl group appearing at this time.
She blinked awkwardly, thinking of the private message Paracosm had received yesterday.
Ahem, because of her recent remarks, Paracosm has become known as a toxic fan in many people's eyes.
However, some people agreed with her in private messages and comments.
These statements, like those made by Amway, are inherently a two-way street.
She wasn't surprised at all.
However, fans who share her views hope that paracosm can join their group.
They post many of their activities in the group chat.
Like the invitations Paracosm receives every year after her birthday support event, she ultimately declined them all.
Besides the fact that she always felt she was better suited to be a lone wolf, there was another reason as well.
I have a feeling that if we join a chat room, one day she'll talk herself into a rage.
Even though no one knows Paracosm's true identity, she wants to avoid that risk.
It would sound strange if I said it myself.
Shangxi is very self-aware.
—Sang Hee's answers in the interview were excellent. [Thumbs up]
The phone's message notification sounded.
He's GD's senior.
After exchanging contact information with the senior, the two didn't talk much.
This is the second time.
The last time was when GD kicked Sang-hee out of the recording studio that night, citing that children shouldn't stay up late.
—Senior, interrupting someone's inspiration is a terrible thing to do.
—Okay, go to sleep now. If you don't go to sleep, all that milk you drank will have been for nothing.
—I'll be 167cm tall this year!
——[Goodnight.jpg]
Han Sang-hee's obsession with height caused her to completely forget to address her as a senior in her reply.
Her milk is effective, isn't it?
She was already very satisfied with the increase from 160 to 166.5.
Thank you, senior! [Puppy thumbs-up image]
Shangxi accepted the praise from her senior without feeling guilty.
After replying to her senior, she went straight into the practice room.
They've been practicing for their debut song stage lately.
The members are all looking forward to their debut.
Despite knowing the current situation, none of the members fail to look forward to the future.
Let's practice more; that's the consensus among the members.
I hope to be liked by people, and I hope that I am worthy of that liking.
The most precious period of a new idol's beauty is their current appearance.
The only ETE member to appear on Korean online forums has garnered unprecedented attention. In addition to discussion posts linking ETE to YG (a Korean girl group), many people are also very interested in the backgrounds of the new girl group members.
However, until the remaining two members were announced in August, no one uncovered anything.
Just as some people were turning their attention to the other two members, a list of producers for the debut album of the new girl group Waiji appeared.
It appears frequently in composition, lyrics, and arrangement, and in many cases it is a unique work.
Sanghee's name was the most prominent on that list.
The hype that was about to die down has risen again.
While receiving praise, Sanghee also faced increasing criticism.
Is she royalty, YG's second princess?
Or is there someone who truly has the ability?
Which one are people more willing to believe? It depends on the direction of public opinion.
