Chapter 22: Praise from Mom Fans + Commercial Performance + ...
The next morning, the three members of ETE set off directly from the practice room to begin their day's activities.
Han Shangxi remained unconcerned about online comments, even deliberately avoiding posts related to ETE when updating her Paracosm account.
The members didn't mention it during their conversation.
Everyone tacitly agreed to leave their hopes for tomorrow.
The radio program that ETE participated in last night achieved record-breaking listenership.
The number of views for ETE's debut stage video, released online by Music Core, continues to climb.
The anti incident brought more attention to ETE, a newly debuted girl group.
New fans are gradually emerging, and the comments on their news are no longer the chaotic mess they used to be.
[Radio Show Review | Adorable Sanghee! How can a child be so honest?]
LZ: "Because I think dating might be a troublesome thing."
But loving Emily will never feel like a hassle.
I can relate to what you're going through.
I sometimes find dating really troublesome. But I don't feel that way when I'm with friends and family.
Sanghee's answer was so genuine. While I was completely charmed by it, I was also a little worried that she might get scolded when she got back.
1L: Oh my, newbies are always willing to say anything!
3L: Why do I not quite understand what everyone is discussing?
5L: Everyone's commenting on how Sanghee mentioned "love" without any reservations.
6L: Is it a good thing for an idol to mention being in a relationship? Why use such a praising tone?
9L: Their agency has never followed the traditional idol style. Upstairs, do you really expect EE to be a traditional idol?
11L: Sanghee, please talk more about it~ EE's debut album is simply divine, I specially went to buy a physical version today.
16L: When I watch Sanghee now, I always feel like I'm watching my daughter. I've been following them since before their debut, and I was in the audience yesterday. Sanghee on stage is truly something to be proud of.
17L: I envy the person upstairs, but I feel like I'm becoming a Sanghee mom fan too. I watched yesterday's performance so many times, feeling sorry for Sanghee while also thinking how amazing she is.
What does it feel like to be constantly liked by someone?
It was the cheers that erupted for them the moment they stepped onto the stage, and the loving gazes from below.
Shangxi really liked this feeling.
So, you have to become an idol that Emily would love, Sanghee.
She said this to herself.
Today, the members' makeup and styling are more in line with "Empire".
The clothing is predominantly white, with differences only in accessories.
The stylist in charge of ETE put a lot of effort into ETE's makeup and styling.
Harmonious yet each with its own unique characteristics.
At first glance, all you'll see are pretty kids.
Of course, because of her outstanding makeup and styling, ETE was also praised by veteran fans as truly deserving of the title of new princess.
In response, Emily can only say that this is not the time to brag about how well your unnie is getting along with the heiress of a certain brand.
The hard work day and night during her nearly six years as a trainee has given Shangxi plenty of confidence on stage.
With her dominant vocals, impeccable dance moves, and perfectly controlled facial expressions, Sanghee possesses a unique stage charm.
Watching Sanghee perform is a real treat.
It's a solid, fully live performance, so you don't have to worry about hearing a pre-recorded live version, or dodging high notes or water-based dance moves.
Because Sanghee can do both perfectly at the same time.
After the commercial performance ended, ETE received even more cheers than before the show began.
That also means they have received more recognition.
Among the many people who watched the commercial performance, some were just there for the fun, but after ETE's performance, they became fans of Sanghee and started paying attention to ETE.
After finishing their morning commercial performance, the members had a quick lunch in the car before heading to their next performance.
During these breaks on the road or before performances, Han Shangxi also reviewed his lessons.
Becoming an idol doesn't mean giving up your studies.
This has always been Han Shangxi's idea.
Although it will require more effort, these are things she can control.
Lee Min-jin and Sung Ji-hye were reflecting on the shortcomings of their performances today.
They no longer possessed Shang Xi's terrifying energy.
Moreover, not all children are so fond of learning.
However, they are still willing to do it if they can mentally rehearse the movements and positioning.
The two of them would rather focus their energy on practice, at least to narrow the gap between themselves and their friends on stage.
As Yin Xiangyu drove, he looked at the three people in the rearview mirror who were focused on doing their own things. He remained calm on the surface, but inwardly he couldn't help but sigh.
Oh dear, he originally thought being an agent would be a very difficult thing.
He even thought he would become a kindergarten teacher in another form.
I never expected these kids to be so easy to take care of. [Touched.jpg]
He will take good care of these children.
In addition to the newly appointed agent Yin Xiangyu, Li Chuxia was also sent to work with ETE after yesterday's incident.
Li Chuxia is more familiar with these people and has higher authority than Yin Xiangyu, making her more suitable to appear on certain occasions.
As for company matters?
YG's second idol division originally only had one group of artists, ETE.
She usually only needs to be responsible for ETE-related matters.
For Li Chuxia, following ETE's schedule was better than sitting in the office.
Because the chances of meeting a board member are much smaller.
Even after working for several years, Li Chuxia still dislikes facing the pressure from the board members.
Previously, it was just a corporate slave barely holding on.
Heaven knows that every time she heard the name "Minister Li" from a council member, she felt like she was back in middle school, being called on by her homeroom teacher in class.
When she was on a trip with ETE, she at least acted more like a respectable adult.
When we arrived at the venue in the afternoon, there were more people than in the morning.
Every performance by a highly followed idol gets noticed.
At this time, ETE had not yet recovered from the controversy, so they could naturally be called a highly popular idol group.
The video of the morning's performance was uploaded online.
It was the weekend, so those who were curious about ETE set off immediately.
They certainly wanted to see if this group, touted as a group of promising newcomers, truly lived up to its reputation.
With so many ups and downs these past few days, regardless of whether there's a reversal or not, ETE and Sanghee have left their mark on many people's minds.
Ultimately, what idols want to see is their stage performance.
Whether they're there to watch the spectacle or to appreciate the performance, these are the thoughts of most non-fans when they see ETE appear on stage.
The three of them then changed their clothes.
However, there were no major changes. Cody simply changed the trousers to black ones that matched the white ones from the morning, and made some additions and subtractions to the accessories.
As the familiar intro began, ETE once again took to the stage.
Don't idols who do similar makeup and styling, wear similar clothes, and sing the same songs get bored?
In that case, if anyone in ETE were to answer at this time, they would only receive a negative response.
Every performance is a different stage.
Idols in their early debut years are eager for the stage and to be seen, so how could they feel bored?
Moreover, being an idol is also a profession.
No matter the circumstances, performing well on stage is an idol's responsibility.
At the end, the members, who were slightly out of breath from just finishing their singing and dancing, all had beautiful smiles on their faces.
In their early days, ETE was widely recognized for their ability to attract fans with every performance.
The number of followers on the official ETE account is growing at an astonishing rate.
Some say they are privileged because they have the backing of a big company.
But they were speechless after others released stage videos.
With no scheduled activities for the evening, the three members of ETE finally returned to the company.
Because the group only has three members, ETE's choreography is more difficult than that of previous girl group stages in order to make the stage look less simple.
In addition, the continuous schedule also puts the members' physical fitness to the test.
After returning to the company, spending time in the practice room for physical training is also essential.
After leaving the cheers of the day and returning to the practice room with only the three of them, do they feel bored?
Actually, it's alright.
A quiet place is suitable for her to review the situation.
Her performance was not without its flaws.
At least Han Shangxi felt that he could have done better.
What is the charm of being an idol?
It can completely give positive energy to the people watching the stage.
It is the unwavering determination to abandon everything the moment the performance begins.
But what is the unique charm of idol Sanghee?
If you want to become an undeniable presence, finding your own unique place is also very important.
After finishing his physical training, Han Shangxi relaxed his muscles and thought to himself.
Shangxi cannot answer this question at the moment.
After all, ETE has only just debuted.
Then just do what you can.
When Han Sang-hee walked downstairs to the company with her fellow members, she looked up and saw countless stars dotting the night sky, and felt an immense sense of peace.
For Sang-hee, there is no conflict between being content with the present and striving to do better.
After all, people always need to have goals.
A new goal? That would probably be to get more people to like ETE through tomorrow's variety show.
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Shang Xi quickened his pace to catch up with the two friends ahead of him.
Sang-hee, you'll be great today and tomorrow, believe in yourself!
