Chapter 16 Paracosm, but it's dark...
In South Korea, people prefer to see famous people fall from grace rather than create idols.
When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down; this is exactly the case.
The public already has a crisis of trust in foreign companies.
Are the drug use rumors true or false?
They thought that was enough.
Moreover, they found that piece of evidence.
"Things that seem unknown are actually known to all."
They seem to be being deceived, but in reality, they're just turning a blind eye. ①”
What could be more convincing than the posts on social media from the celebrity's teammates?
If the previous discussions, confined to forums, were like a pressure vessel on the verge of exploding, then this "timely" spark ignited public opinion instantly.
What is the truth of the matter?
Those who have the loudest voices will only pay the price for their emotions.
Even if you end up being the victim, and the outcome is contrary to their initial perception, they will not apologize for their malice; at most, they will simply disappear.
This world can be really awful at times.
Even in the darkest moments, you'll find that there is still light all around you.
Love and peace are what truly deserve our attention.
With public opinion reaching this level, even if Han Shangxi is extremely busy, it's hard for her to be completely unaware.
After all, the focus of public opinion is on the celebrities she likes.
At first, she thought it was just another rumor.
However, things took an unexpected turn for the better.
She logged into the account simply to continue updating its content.
Certain words that frequently appeared in the comments section and private messages made her realize that something was wrong.
What was your first reaction?
Actually, it's out of worry.
Because he trusted his past self, even after losing those memories, Han Sang-hee subconsciously felt that the person his former self liked wouldn't be that kind of person.
So why can't we worry?
For the first time, Han Shangxi felt the inconvenience of not having his senior's contact information.
That's right, even after they became familiar with each other, she still didn't have her senior's contact information.
The reason is simple: Shangxi had no need to contact her seniors before.
She felt that getting her senior's contact information was a bit inappropriate.
However, Shangxi wouldn't have thought of this at the time.
With a "let's try our luck" attitude, Sang-hee left the practice room and headed to the recording studio after finishing her practice.
She was very lucky.
My senior is in the recording studio today.
The recording studio door opened, and Kwon Ji-yong didn't expect anyone else to come in at this time.
Kwon Ji-yong initially thought it was someone else, but when he turned around and saw it was Han Sang-hee, he froze for a moment.
It's that child.
It's about asking yourself if those things are true, isn't it?
He has been asked this question many times.
The subtle reactions of the crowd after receiving a negative answer actually drove him crazy.
Even if you rationally know that no one except your parents and relatives is obligated to unconditionally believe you, you still need some time to process these feelings emotionally.
No one did anything wrong, the public's reaction was rational, and the public's questioning was also reasonable.
Kwon Ji-yong has always been a self-reflective person.
This is sometimes a good thing, but sometimes it can be overwhelming for him.
Of course, the shortness of breath is only temporary; he will still be himself and continue to do what he loves.
"Senior, may I have your contact information?"
I came up with this idea because I was worried.
He is an artist I admire, and also a senior who has helped me many times.
So, exchanging contact information isn't really a big deal?
Han Shangxi thought this to himself, unaware of the absent-mindedness of the person in front of him.
What were Kwon Ji-yong's feelings when he heard something unexpected?
He didn't actually dare to look at the other party's account.
I can't bear to see the other person's reaction.
Perhaps this is a punishment for him for guessing his junior's identity back then.
He didn't want to see those comments online.
In this way, the real-world relationship will not change.
However, things didn't go as expected.
Kwon Ji-yong looked at the other person; only he knew what he was thinking at that moment.
Do you believe me?
He heard his own voice.
“Many people believe it.”
Kwon Ji-yong noticed a hint of confusion in the other person's eyes, as if they didn't know why he had suddenly asked that question.
Thank you for your trust.
After a brief moment of distraction, he remained the same reliable senior he always was.
Kwon Ji-yong is someone who remembers the kindness of others.
He can remember a simple action for a long time.
Because of her gentle and kind nature, she experiences feelings of vulnerability and loneliness when she is alone.
He was moved by the trust placed in him by this younger generation.
He also expressed his gratitude for this trust.
Kwon Ji-yong wanted to be the senior who was always the one his juniors initially liked.
Later, when the two appeared together for the first time a few years after their debut, people noticed that GD always seemed to resemble his earlier self in front of Sanghee.
He is occasionally teased for having "prince syndrome," but he doesn't seem to care.
After exchanging contact information as requested by Shangxi, the two fell silent for a moment.
Han Shangxi assumed that her senior was in a bad mood.
Anyone who has gone through those things would find it hard to feel good.
Although Han Sang-hee wanted to add his contact information because she was worried, she didn't know how to express her concern tactfully in front of her senior.
However, she didn't dwell on it for long.
Because her senior colleague started getting her to get absorbed in work too.
The only difference from the previous time when she pulled her senior to work was that their positions were reversed.
During discussions with his seniors, Han Sang-hee developed many new ideas about music.
However, before she could even put it into practice, she was kicked out of the recording studio by her seniors because it was too late and the children needed to sleep.
Oh dear, this guy isn't that much older than me.
Looking at the closed recording studio door, Han Shangxi thought to himself.
However, she still had other things to do.
A favorite celebrity is embroiled in controversy, and a teammate's subtle remarks instantly ignite public opinion.
As fans, paracosm should do something, right?
Seeing the unbridled malicious frenzy online because of comments from fellow artists' teammates, and people who had previously liked GD and sent her private messages using this as an excuse to question why she hadn't unfollowed him, paracosm has never hated a person or a group so much.
In addition to her usual recommendations, she also posted another message.
paracosmto0818: You don't have to maintain it, but please don't cause trouble like everyone else.
The second generation is dominated by group fans.
Paracosm's actions are a denial of the team spirit they are so proud of.
She originally planned to log off after posting this blog entry.
As a result, the comment section was flooded with comments.
She could foresee the consequences after posting this blog, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Righteous bystanders who believe the evidence is irrefutable, group fans who uphold the group spirit, and solo fans who think her statement was inappropriate...
"Even with teammates saying that, are the fans still going to be stubborn?"
"Taeyang's statement was clearly not about this. You toxic fans are meddling too much. All five members of BB are good kids."
"Don't say these things now, Dream-Building Unnie."
"I didn't expect Zhu Meng to be a toxic fan. I've unfollowed him."
At this moment, the world of Paracosm is filled with a cacophony of sounds.
She's not without a temper; she's just focused on promoting her products and doesn't want to say much.
This is the first time the account paracosm has chosen to respond directly.
—If you're trying to protect your utopia by closing your eyes, then just stay there and don't say anything, okay?
—Is it to show that you're clear-headed to come to the fan comment section to mock something that hasn't been settled yet?
Wasn't it GD's actions that came first? Why not say that if the other teammates hadn't done anything wrong, would they have stood up for them like that? I've been a BB fan for four years, and I don't think the teammates' actions were wrong.
—Is this victim-blaming? You and the people you like are just being sarcastic and cynical here.
It was clearly Taiyo's response that stemmed from his dissatisfaction with the company's handling of the fan disputes.
—Does anyone else believe this besides you?
At this moment, she finally understood why she had become a "toxic fan" in her past life.
Surrounded by a group of lunatics, and then beaten into a lunatic as well.
Han Shangxi rarely recalls his past life memories, treating them merely as a novel about other people's lives.
She even breathed a sigh of relief as her memory gradually faded over time.
The memory she received made her hesitate briefly when facing the talent scout, and it also gave her a second chance. Han Shangxi was very grateful for its appearance.
But Sang-hee is Sang-hee, living her own life in the present moment.
For most people, the fact that the person behind the Amway blogger is a toxic fan is just part of this drama.
After the excitement subsided, they were already looking for the next spectacle.
Public trust in YG Entertainment is plummeting, with people questioning the previously perceived differences between YG's idol groups and their past behavior.
The fan wars surrounding the new girl group Waiji have also come to the attention of people at this time.
Amid the ongoing controversy surrounding the controversial celebrity, the fans' stubbornness has drawn considerable dislike from casual observers.
Some also felt that the similar but clearly favorable situation that had once again presented itself to them was a good opportunity.
They're not taking sides; they just think it's best if artists from "Waiji" (a derogatory term for a certain type of celebrity) don't debut.
The boycott, which was originally confined to the fan circle, was instantly amplified.
When the company first noticed these public opinions, it was initially a major headache for them.
But thinking about it, this is also a "good thing".
Why not use natural heat?
This can both bring more attention to the new girl group and indirectly divert public opinion.
This is how Yang Xianshuo persuaded Jiang Suxian.
Jiang Suxian did not object much to the proposal.
She knew she was gambling too.
Is there a way to have it all?
For ETE, debuting under the current circumstances would have already resulted in public backlash.
Since that's the case, why not just add fuel to the fire?
The pre-debut interview with ETE was not discussed with the project members, nor was there any "online leaks." Instead, it was announced directly through the company's official channels.
As they expected, this news added fuel to the fire of the existing boycott.
As the only member whose identity was unexpectedly revealed ahead of schedule, Han Sang-hee was required by the company to attend.
The exquisite puppets, though not explicitly stated, were all part of her unique role in this event.
Han Sang-hee's attendance was also the result of careful consideration and weighing of options.
Even knowing this, Han Sang-hee did not resist the opportunity to appear in public.
Those ideas belong to the company.
The opportunity is in her hands; how it turns out is up to her.
Don't misunderstand, she didn't intend to do anything more.
I just feel that not everything will go as planned.
Han Shangxi always knew where he stood.
The reason she was the only one present was not because she was particularly eye-catching.
Just like how initially only her unreleased trailer was leaked, it was because using her was less risky and less resistant.
She still remembered her role as a pawn, she always did.
It's all about getting what you need, that's all.
Han Sang-hee expressed her gratitude to the company for giving her the opportunity to debut.
Therefore, she will grow up well and become dazzling enough.
The recent commotion at the company, and the things someone deliberately said in front of her...
Did you not even waver for a moment from your initial thoughts?
See, becoming an artist means enduring such terrible situations, so why not just give up?
No, she didn't want to let it go at all.
The moment Han Sang-hee sat in front of the spotlight, she realized she wanted to be on stage even more.

Zhu Meng, a fan that won't swear even if forced to "go crazy".
Bystander: This person, who doesn't swear, is also very aggressive.
