Chapter 27 First Place + Male and Female Lead Plot + Daytime...
After the weekly idol show ended, the members did indeed pay attention to the comments on the internet.
Compared to Han Sang-hee's composure, the two other members seemed somewhat unnatural.
Shangxi naturally noticed this awkwardness.
Hmm, we should make good use of this situation.
While her two friends were still feeling awkward, Shang Xi subtly persuaded them to sign a pact that they would accompany her to the practice room after their schedules ended in the next few days.
You two should practice more. Otherwise, uneven shots on stage will really ruin the aesthetic.
Lee Min-jin and Sung Ji-hye are actually quite capable.
However, when they shared the stage with Sang-hee, the public paid more attention to Sang-hee.
Because Shang Xi is too dazzling.
Even though the two did a great job, something was still missing.
They lack something that makes people want to explore them.
The performance was okay, but compared to Shangxi, it was somewhat unappealing.
It's fortunate that ETE only has three members, and each of them has a significant part; otherwise, the classic title of "xx and ta's backup dancers" would have emerged again.
As the team leader, Sang-hee considers things more than the other members.
At present, simply getting the members to practice together doesn't seem to be enough.
Perhaps she will have to find another way.
People tend to be more forgiving when this happens to a newcomer's group.
In ETE, everyone thinks that Sanghee is too powerful.
ETE's schedule the following day was to promote her song on SBS's "Inkigayo".
Compared to KBS, which is practically estranged from YG, YG's relationship with SBS is obviously much better.
After all, YG artists have performed on SBS more times than any other television station.
This good relationship is also reflected in the treatment ETE receives.
For the first time, the three had their own private waiting room.
Although the space is small, at least it is a separate space.
Throughout the entire music show promotion process, Inkigayo truly provided them with the best experience.
However, having just passed their debut week, ETE, still in the rookie evaluation period, is not yet qualified to compete for first place.
Even if their achievements deserve this position.
They always need a reason to change their rigid, conventional practices.
SBS, as one of the three major broadcasting networks, obviously wouldn't do something so outspoken.
Offering such treatment already demonstrates how much they value this newcomer group, ETE.
The three major television stations wouldn't do such a thing, they wouldn't dare to do it.
The group that wins first place the fastest will also get a great exposure for the show.
Moreover, the group's achievements are beyond question.
When ETE participated in "M! Countdown" for the second time, they appeared on the shortlist for first place.
On the thirteenth day after their debut, ETE won their first number one.
This breakthrough not only surpassed the records set by its predecessors but also demonstrated that ETE has further solidified its position in the market.
A speech, an encore performance—the orderly process couldn't hide the members' excitement.
Everyone is very happy to have achieved such results.
This is an endorsement of ETE.
This also shows that more and more people are starting to like them.
Must-do during idol days: Get first place in the first round of rankings
After returning to his dorm from his trip, Han Sang-hee opened his notebook and found the page where he had written down the goals he wanted to achieve during his idol days. He neatly ticked off "get first place in the first round".
She enjoys the feeling of being an idol.
A simple, unadulterated liking.
If possible, Han Sang-hee wants to continue working as an idol forever.
The burning love of his youth first appeared in Han Sang-hee's heart the moment he stepped onto the stage as an idol.
Despite the many twists and turns, she still longed for it.
She is Han Sang-hee, and also the idol Sanghee.
After winning the first prize, things went much more smoothly from there.
The probationary period for newcomers is the norm, but those with real talent can be given an exception.
Some of the artists' schedules are delayed.
For example, the endorsement videos filmed a few weeks ago may not be released until this week.
This is the kind of schedule that ETE filmed for their school uniform endorsement.
Once the photos and videos were released by the brand, fans had other materials to enjoy while watching the ETE stage performance.
To be honest, it was only at this point that Emily gradually realized that the group she was a fan of belonged to YG Entertainment.
They originally thought that "Weekly Idol" was just the beginning.
Unexpectedly...
Aside from that, there are no other television program schedules.
—Damn you, Wicked Chicken, can you please stop maintaining your shabby mystery?
Seeing familiar words spoken by Emily makes one realize that tradition truly exists.
Actually, the branch was also in talks about other variety show appearances.
However, the follow-up was suppressed.
The reason given is that the new group members still need to hone their entertainment skills.
Therefore, during their first promotional period, ETE's schedule consisted mostly of performing music shows and commercial events.
He rarely even accepts radio programs.
The diverse schedule of the week before their debut seems like a dream from yesterday.
There are actually advantages to doing it this way.
For idols in their early stages of debut, commercial performances and music show appearances are the most valuable time to hone their skills.
Every moment on stage is a test.
Idols' brilliant performances will be seen, and similarly, their disastrous moments will be remembered.
Despite being under such high pressure, Han Shangxi did not relax in the slightest.
Whether or not someone goes with her, the practice room is always her go-to choice.
Chebai, the results of your practice are your own.
This is Han Shangxi's truest thought.
However, she still managed to get the members to meet the practice time goals she set.
If only one person shines on the stage, it's a flaw.
At least two of her friends need to keep up with her pace.
Not only does Han Sang-hee complete her own part, but she also helps the other members research and review their parts.
Well, she actually learned this from G-Dragon.
Although the two met less often after Sang-hee debuted, they communicated more often online.
The internet is a magical thing.
While eliminating the distance between people, it can also reduce the unnecessary sense of distance in real life.
For example, when they were online, Han Shangxi at least dared to joke with this senior.
—Did you really never think about leaving YG?
Perhaps Han Sang-hee herself didn't realize that she never hid her "stan" tendencies when interacting with G-Dragon.
That is, they have absolutely no interest in this senior's teammates.
When his seniors mentioned things related to his teammates, Han Sang-hee would only politely agree.
Their attitudes before and after were clearly different.
Kwon Ji-yong was certainly aware of this.
He should have pointed it out.
Moreover, this child wasn't just like that in front of him; he was also very bold in his posts on his account.
That's absolutely outrageous!
However, everyone desires to be favored.
For him, who is the most popular and seemingly the most talented member of the group, there is always a voice among fans that the other members are more pitiful than him and need more love.
He couldn't possibly be unaware of these things.
As he saw and learned more, he sometimes reflected on whether he had made a mistake and shouldn't have such high popularity.
Actually, I was a little sad.
However, these things don't seem to have any impact on the group.
Whether as a group or solo artist, Kwon Ji-yong has always chosen to be in a group.
That was the group he had been involved in since his debut, and it held so much for him.
His sense of responsibility prevented him from putting himself above the group.
However, people sometimes get tired.
Especially during times of turmoil, his already sensitive nature made it difficult for him not to overthink things after sensing the subtle attitudes of the other members. He simply pretended not to see it.
Is our group really doomed?
Sometimes jokes are the truth.
Given the obvious favoritism shown by the younger generation towards him, it's hard to say whether Kwon Ji-ryong's indulgence played a role.
But sometimes pretending not to know everything can make things much easier.
No one else would know about the chat history with the junior, and apart from himself finding out about the junior's account by chance, no one else had ever paid attention to it.
Then let's just pretend we don't know.
Anyway, it doesn't matter if we pretend not to see one more thing.
Kwon Ji-yong convinced himself.
—In that case, G-Dragon might not exist in the world.
This is how he responded to his juniors' jokes.
—But even without G-Dragon, there would be H-Dragon, I-Dragon. He can do anything exceptionally well. It seems that success is his destiny, regardless of whether he's with YG or Bigbang.
Kwon Ji-yong was able to laugh at his junior's straightforward, frank, and somewhat childlike words.
They're still just kids.
It's completely different when they're arguing with others logically and with evidence on their accounts.
Cough cough, thinking about how he occasionally checked that account, Kwon Ji-yong still felt a little guilty.
Kwon Ji-yong would only occasionally search for his junior's account when no one was around.
It's completely impossible to openly and honestly browse through it.
It will be difficult to explain.
Kwon Ji-yong added to himself.
After the junior debuted, the two did chat more often.
However, most of the content is related to how to manage group members and how to be a leader, with occasional discussions about songs.
Even if they talk a lot, it just looks like two people who are obsessed with their work are exchanging ideas after get off work.
For Han Sang-hee, communicating with senior G-Dragon was very helpful, at least in the Japanese adaptation of "EAT EARTH".
The senior colleague gave her a lot of useful advice based on their experience.
Han Shangxi now has some ideas about this matter.
However, we'll have to wait until she finishes the demo before making any further modifications.
Based on the members' singing styles and habits, Han Sang-hee created her own demo, something she learned from her seniors.
Han Shangxi felt that whether or not to say it was a good approach.
-----------------------
The author says: We at Shangxi are diligently putting into practice the industry experience we learned from our senior, GD.
Years later, these two were still considered heavyweights in the Korean team leader montage.
