Chapter 74's plot revolves around royal family mysteries and romantic entanglements...
Will doing this make things even more uncontrollable? Will it cause everything ETE and Sanghee have accomplished to go down the drain?
If someone were to ask her these questions, Han Sang-hee would probably pause for a moment and then say that she didn't know what the question was.
Even if there is suspicion, where would anyone have concrete evidence for these things?
In this matter, she is the biggest victim.
The saying "If you walk by the river often, you're bound to get your shoes wet" does not apply to Han Shangxi.
From beginning to end, all she wanted was to simply stand on the stage and enjoy it.
Isn't the reason they trust her the most precisely because they know this?
From the leak of the medical recording to the exposure of her alternate account, everything happened too fast.
No one had made a contingency plan for this.
The former was unnecessary, and the latter was unexpected.
Sanghee, whose primary role remains that of an idol, continues to appear before the public as a product.
It's perfectly normal for people to sacrifice their private lives for media exposure.
From the perspective of those who come after and review the events, it was only at this point that public opinion was truly ignited.
Simply put, there are too many details about these exposed alt accounts, making it difficult for people to know which one to focus on first.
The temporary public release of a popular girl group's private social media account, aside from the current controversy, naturally attracts attention.
However, it seems that no matter which one you look at first, you might not see the content of the other two.
This is not difficult to solve.
Experienced netizens' first reaction to the content of these temporarily public private accounts is to document and archive it, and they may even divide the work among themselves.
The level of interest and discussion continues to rise.
Meanwhile, less than half an hour after the incident, Han Sang-hee was invited to the conference room.
When she entered, most of the people present were already discussing solutions to the current situation.
Under normal circumstances, no one would expect a sick person to step up and save the day.
Their purpose in having Han Sang-hee attend was merely to test the waters.
Compared to his listless appearance these past few days, Han Shangxi seemed to have perked up a bit more at this moment.
Indeed, this person always puts their heart into their work, no matter the circumstances.
The current situation is actually quite troublesome to handle.
The content from those accounts has already spread like wildfire.
Even if the company's public relations department intervenes, it won't have any real effect other than calling on everyone to respect the artist's privacy.
After a round of discussions, there was still no progress.
However, no one allowed Sang-hee to express her opinion.
Everyone is telling her to get some rest.
Compared to the excitement outside, the content on the three people's private accounts was the least discussed topic at this meeting.
Given that these are all accounts belonging to the rightful owner, what else is there to discuss?
Is the identity of Sanghee's fans genuine or not?
Although it was unexpected that Sanghee would be a fan of GD in private, the paracosm account was relatively easy to handle.
There aren't any sensitive topics; the most outrageous thing is that the artist is actually a fan of a senior artist from the same company. If handled properly, it's not difficult to make it a viral sensation.
However, the content of the other two accounts is quite troublesome.
Due to the original marketing strategy, compared to Sanghee's controversial rise to fame, Minjin and Jihye have maintained a very positive public image.
Many passersby might even feel sorry for them.
The unloved eldest and second eldest, overlooked gems of a large company, talented idols overshadowed by the brilliance of their teammates.
Unexpectedly, all of this fell apart after the content from the private SNS account came out.
Everything is laid out there. It's obvious who's royalty and who has a powerful background; no one needs to deliberately interpret or analyze it.
Love is a minor matter; a collapsed public image is a major issue.
The only thing that's somewhat comforting is that Sanghee's image seems to have been reversed because of what's happening now.
However, this was not part of the original plan.
However, these words cannot be said directly to the person involved.
Discussions are ongoing, but progress remains at zero.
Han Shangxi's gaze inadvertently swept over President Yang and Director Jiang, who had remained silent.
She wondered what those two were thinking.
The current situation is not difficult to solve at all.
What was it that made both of them fall silent?
Those who had previously questioned Sanghee have not fallen silent, but they will not admit the mistakes they made.
However, besides the voices of doubt, there are also voices of affection.
Those who love Sanghee have been working hard to find evidence to speak for her, and naturally they wouldn't miss this opportunity.
The fans who have been mocked for a while are already unhappy.
The most satisfying thing would be to take advantage of the current trend and completely reverse public opinion.
[Li Tao, after EE's alternate account was exposed, who is the real royalty?]
LZ: It's so lively outside, I wanted to join in the fun too. First of all, I'm clearly a fan of yours [rose emoji].
Prior to this, many people believed that Sanghee was royalty and used this as a pretext to attack her.
With today's exposure of her alternate account, it's a good opportunity to discuss the royal family mystery that has plagued Sanghee since her debut.
Leaving aside the alternate account that Sanghee exposed, as it contains little personal information, let's first extract the information we can get from the alternate accounts of Sanghee's two teammates.
According to some sources, Jihye's family ran a dance studio, and Minjin only had one older sister. Compared to Sanghee, whose parents were alive and who lived a comfortable and happy life, the two were quite pitiful.
The smaller account not only contains photos that reveal the members' family backgrounds, but also photos of the two members with their families.
Actually, they weren't wrong. It's just that Jihye's family's dance class is a dance class that has become an academy, and Minjin's only sister's name is Lee Young-cheol.
Compared to these two members, Sanghee, whose father is just a middle manager in the company and whose mother runs a flower shop, has a family background so simple that it's obvious, can she really become a true member of the royal family?
1L: Wow, Shang Jie's surfing speed is so fast! She organized all this in less than ten minutes. I just had a complete decision paralysis.
13L: Sister Shang is the target that has been set up.
25L: Someone who could become Lee Sun-hee's student couldn't possibly come from a poor family. I'm skeptical of the main post's opinion for now.
33L: Sanghee probably has the most resources in the team. Being a "royal family member" isn't just about family background. Even if her family wasn't the wealthiest, she's still a powerful director now, isn't she? Not to mention her teammates, even her seniors in the same company don't receive the same treatment.
56L: I have something to say about the resources within the EE team. Some resources were invested but didn't make a splash. This can't be said to mean that the resources were insufficient.
[picture]
The personal information of the three members is clearly written on this timeline chart.
You could say that Sanghee's individual data was temporarily in the lead around November 2011.
However, please note the timing; this period coincided with the time when all ETE members were preparing for their entrance exams. At this time, while other members were attending cram schools and focusing on their studies, Sanghee was criticized for taking on personal projects and accused of being out of her mind. These attacks only stopped after the entrance exam results were announced and Sanghee passed the Ewha Womans University interview.
After the cultivation exam, the personal information of the other two members came in like snowflakes.
Regular MC roles on music shows, cameo appearances in movies and TV dramas... their starting point is much higher than Sanghee's.
When it comes to personal data, it's not just about quantity, but also quality.
By visualizing all the individual data, it is clear that Minjin and Jihye's investment-related data are far superior to Sanghee's.
Sanghee's output-related assets, such as commercial endorsements, are higher than the other two.
I really don't agree with the claim that Sanghee is royalty.
Which royal family gets to run around doing all the work?
Last year, to test the waters for ETE in China and Japan, Sanghee endured a grueling schedule for months on his own. What were the other two doing? Leveraging their teammates' fame to secure opportunities and appear on shows in their home countries.
Is this kind of treatment really good?
71L: Wow, it seems like Sanghee's teammates are having a pretty easy time.
83L: Wasn't this Sanghee's personal choice? She rushed through several months of schedules, but she also gained the most popularity, didn't she?
88L: Then all of this should be the result of hard work, not what some people call "royalty".
103L: How do you explain the matter concerning the board member?
113L: Up until now, Shang Jie's fans are still blurring the key points. The reason for Shang Jie's massive backlash across all platforms this time is that she is unworthy of her position as a director, not anything else.
143L: Huh? Didn't any of you know how Sister Shang became a director? Sister Shang's shares came from TK Group, which previously invested in YG. The director surnamed Jiang, who was originally the head of the YG branch, transferred his shares to Sister Shang. And this director surnamed Jiang came along with TK Group.
Originally, everyone in that building was still wondering about the relationship between Sister Shang and TK, and why Sister Shang was able to replace this director surnamed Jiang.
Unexpectedly, it was the group member "Li" who played a role.
If you think of Sister Shang as someone who protects the young lady, it becomes much easier to understand.
With Director Jiang gone, Minjin's sister at YG needs a new replacement. As for why? I remember the rumors of a branch merger have been circulating for a long time, and Yang Hyun-suk isn't as easy to control as he seems. No, he's never been easy to control to begin with.
152L: Now Sister Shang is truly working diligently.
Not only was I forced to take on this mess, but I also had to endure so much criticism.
I'm really worried about Shang Jie's mental state right now.
167L: To sum it up, your sister got the benefits and then tries to play the victim. Does anyone really think Shang Jie is suffering now? Even without a reversal, she still genuinely benefited. Didn't she say in her recording that her teammates treated her well?
174L: The sobering weirdo is back again. Sanghee was cyberbullied to the point of needing to see a psychologist, and the recording of her hospital visit was maliciously leaked, followed by the exposure of her alternate account.
Normally, if someone insults you, you have to think about how to insult them back, and if you can't insult them back, you'll get angry.
And what about her? Faced with this overwhelming malice, she couldn't even express her dissatisfaction. The exposure of her private social media accounts—an act that would typically elicit condemnation and boycotts from other celebrities—seemed to be completely ignored by everyone when it happened to her.
186L: After all those days of criticizing Sanghee, it turns out the royal family has someone else. I really don't know why people are still being so stubborn.
188L: Please, treat Sanghee as a real person.
She can get hurt too.
201L: This thread is so focused on the discussion (peeks in). I see all sorts of discussions in the other threads, from royal family mysteries to romantic rumors lol
The royal family is still pending, but the three women are really dating.
203L: That's why they're called idol groups where everyone is a creative force [doge emoji]
222L: I feel that what's more noteworthy about Shang Jie's alternate account than her love life is her genuine experience of following celebrities. She seems to be the kind of fan who is deeply involved in the fandom and pays attention to posts related to Quanlong in your section.
231L: Whether someone is dating depends on the two teammates' alternate accounts. Shang Jie's situation is at most a suspected relationship, lol.
242L: So, the EE configuration is actually a working-class girl who has failed in her relationship and her two rich girl friends who are in a sweet romance?
245L: Sounds like hell
251L: No matter how you look at it, Shang Jie has been criticized too much this time.
253L: Actually, I originally thought that Sister Shang was the kind of powerful, somewhat mean girl in private, but it turns out that she is not like that at all... She is very cute when she is chasing stars, and most of the content she posts is just about living her life seriously.
267L: Am I the only one thinking about this? Will the three of them be able to come back?
271L: Why not? The date is already set. When Shang Jie was being criticized before, her comeback wasn't postponed. I can't think of a reason to postpone her comeback now.
272: This world is still too surreal. It's all just gossip.
Unfortunately, those posts are now private.
As the tide recedes, many things need no further explanation.
After the alternate account was exposed, Sanghee's account actually looked to be the simplest one.
After all, most of Paracosm's posts are promotional posts.
Simplicity does not mean it is not shocking.
The controversy surrounding the royal family gradually faded a few hours later, overshadowed by the discussion itself on the paracosm account.
However, before the hype died down, the question of "who is the royal family" had already been definitively settled.
The public pieced together the answer to why Han Sang-hee became a director.
[Is Sanghee and Paracosm the same person?]
LZ: After comparing these two people, I was completely numb. Who understands that eerie feeling? I wasn't surprised that Sister Shang became a director, and I wasn't shocked that Sister Shang wasn't a true member of the royal family, but I was truly shocked that Sister Shang was Zhumeng.
3L: Who is Sister Zhumeng? I was just thinking that Sister Shang's alternate account would get a lot of attention, so I was busy looking at the other two sisters' accounts and haven't started looking at Sister Shang's alternate account yet. Is paracosm her account name? Is it Twitter or Instagram?
11L: I understand... why? I really don't understand why? How can it be just one person?
23L: paracosm is an account that openly promotes GD as a solo stan. Moreover, it's a long-term fan who has been promoting him almost every day since 2009 until the beginning of this year.
At the beginning of this year, paracosm said it wanted to return to real life, so it made its account private. I never thought I'd see paracosm's content again.
To be honest, the quality of her recommendation posts is pretty good. I've followed her (a dragon rider with mixed feelings passing by).
27L: Huh? Are you sure Sister Shang is Zhu Meng? Could there be a mistake?
32L: Replying to 27L, it's highly unlikely. Since the account became private, the posts have all been about real life; the background of the latest blog post's photo is still Shang Jie's recording studio.
It was hammered down hard.
47L: Shang Jie really idolizes GD. I just skimmed through her previous posts, and if I didn't know it was Shang Jie who posted them, I would probably think it was a post from an ordinary fan.
52L: Has nobody noticed the timeline? This account was registered in 2009, and Shang Jie joined YG in 2009.
So you became a fan of G-Dragon after joining YG? I'm really curious about what happened back then.
69L: Trainee x senior, this kind of thing is also good to ship, hehe.
81L: Sang-hee's feelings for GD are clearly just idol worship.
99L: Actually, everyone upstairs has missed something. This "Dream Chaser" is a well-known toxic solo stan in the fandom.
A famous quote: "You've already called me a toxic solo stan, so why do you care what I think of the other four?"
105L: So, it's the toxic fan who became the sister-in-law?
128L: Actually, there's probably nothing between Sister Shang and Quan Long.
Based on Paracosm's recent posts, I strongly suspect that Shang Jie is still stuck in her previous relationship... Her longing for her ex is so obvious QAQ
Because I dreamt of you, I feel it was a nightmare. But I still wish you sweet dreams. Does anyone understand this dark, damp, lingering feeling?
131L: But didn't your ex really like Sister Shang? Wasn't it Sister Shang who broke up with your ex?
133L: Breaking up proactively doesn't stop you from reminiscing. My ex did the same thing [chin in hand].
134L: Upstairs, please tell your story.
157L: Okay, now the dating rumors have turned into an idol-fan relationship. This is suspected to be the biggest potential breakup crisis for the Zhi Shang CP.
163L: Actually, there was never a happy ending, please be aware. A few days ago, when Shang Jie's public opinion was at its worst, weren't the CP fans saying they were very disappointed in Shang Jie?
When Zhi Shang was being hyped up, everyone was saying that Sister Shang was a bloodsucker and begging for her to be left alone.
168L: So Shang Jie hasn't started dating yet? Was the whole "Shang Jie" thing that everyone was so into before just a joke?
169L: The person upstairs should actually ask if any of those popular couples have actually been in a relationship.
174L: Another day of being scammed...
202L: No, isn't everyone shocked at all that Shang Jie is a GD toxic fan?
Don't Shang Jie's fans have any objections?
213L: As we all know, the largest proportion of Shang Jie's fan base consists of individual fans, followed by those in the ETE group who are biased towards Shang Jie. This latter group is generally more accepting of the fact that their bias is a solo stan of another artist.
As for the others? To be honest, those who remain are the ones who are most afraid to speak up...
Two out of the three members in the group are considered "royal" (favored members), and the remaining member, the only one who isn't, has been criticized as such since their debut. Even so, this one non-favored member, a regular worker, still wholeheartedly leads the group to success. If I were a group fan, I'd definitely ship Shang Jie (Shang Jie) with them.
217L: But it's Sister Shang's mouth, isn't it?
223L: You'll need to discuss this with your friends outside the forum. You won't get the answer you're looking for here.
234L: When Shang Jie spoke, she was completely dissing the opposing team as a fan, not as Sanghee. Do you have to worry about whether someone you're arguing with in an online game might be your senior?
Besides, isn't what Sister Zhumeng said the truth?
235L: The person upstairs is completely misrepresenting the facts. We just don't know that the person behind the "Dream Building" account is Shang Jie, nor do the fans who argue with her, but she knows it herself.
She knows what she's doing.
244L: So what? Just because you choose to work for a company, does that mean you have to give up all your personal space? Sister Shang isn't targeting those "seniors" you mentioned. Having been in your section for so long, you can't be unaware of fan arguments, right?
251L: Shang Jie is a GD toxic fan, how can you expect to hear anything good from a toxic fan? Please, if you really think like that, you might as well go to sleep.
262L: What I mean is that this whole thing deserves criticism. If being a toxic fan of an artist allows you to freely slander their teammates, then I might as well pick an artist from my rival group to be their toxic fan too. For an artist to criticize their seniors is even more outrageous, especially seniors from the same agency. Please, Sister Shang, apologize to the four seniors and their fans for your toxic fan behavior.
279L: OMG, 262L, aren't you also using a fallacy of misrepresentation?
First of all, there's no doubt that Zhu Meng is a true fan. If you were a die-hard fan of a rival group, would you be a true fan? Furthermore, Zhu Meng's wanton slander of GD's teammates is the funniest joke I've heard all day. Every time, it's always the other group's fans who start trouble.
293L: The argument between Zhu Meng and the people in her comment section is at most a fan circle dispute.
Moreover, before this incident, no one knew that Sister Shang was Zhu Meng, and Sister Shang did not use her influence to affect her seniors.
I don't think Shang Jie's remarks on building dreams constitute the behavior of a senior.
303L: Actually, Zhu Meng didn't always criticize his teammates' fans.
Most of the time, she only promotes the product to herself and doesn't participate much in fandom activities.
The earliest and most well-known conflict between Zhu Meng and the group's fans was in 2011 when she criticized a certain "good guy" member of Super Girl. At the time, GD was being slandered, and everyone thought Super Girl was finished. A certain member was also suspected of making sarcastic remarks. Zhu Meng's statement back then was really cool.
Then, what I remember was the year-end voting conflict this year, where some people called for voting for other BB members but not GD, saying it was to balance the popularity within the group. Zhu Meng Jie saw this and immediately criticized her.
To be honest, I personally think that Sister Zhumeng did not make a mistake in criticizing her, nor can it be considered as wanton slander in the eyes of some people.
307L: How much brainwashing have they been fed this time... The Taeyang incident was clearly because he was unhappy that Gouwaiji took sides in the argument between VIP and Blackjack, so he posted the blog. The voting is even more absurd. Individual fans of the members did nothing wrong by wanting to vote more for their favorites, but we group fans were just labeled like that.
308L: I agree with the comment above. And the guys have such a great relationship. Some solo stans really think the whole world is persecuting their idol.
321L: I don't believe it unless you show me their individual alternate accounts, oh no, I mean four.
332L: Sister Zhumeng was truly prescient. Back then, when Taeyang made those remarks, the public didn't see it as him criticizing the company or the fandom. How many times did those malicious people use that sentence to criticize Kwon Yong? Some group fans just pretended not to see it.
Who else has a bias for another member of BB but whose profile picture and name are all related to Kwon Yong? Who would believe that their bias has zero presence?
341L: Ahem, so I accidentally stumbled into some kind of BB fandom argument? That's so rare, lol. I usually feel like your section doesn't have a very high VIP level.
354L: This is a rare thread where the topic didn't end up focusing on Sister Shang. Let's take a group photo to commemorate the occasion! [Thumbs up]
361L: Wow, there are actually fans outside demanding that Sister Shang apologize for her senior, Mouth! [Sigh]
374L: Waiting for Sister Shang to tear it back.
376L: That's really audacious. Everyone's currently focused on the love-hate relationships within Shang Jie's group and feeling indignant on her behalf. They'd be better off apologizing to themselves than demanding an apology from Shang Jie.
401L: Finished reading the thread. My only thought after reading it is, do you Kwon Yong-soo fans really live this badly? Even Shang Jie's comments get her labeled a toxic solo stan [facepalm]
If this counts as being a "mouthed senior," then let the senior admit that they were "mouthed" first.
403L: After browsing Shang Jie's and her two teammates' alternate accounts, I not only inexplicably started hallucinating Quan Long and his teammates, but I also projected myself onto them.
It's so immersive.
The thought of working yourself to the bone while your teammates leisurely reap the rewards is infuriating. Couldn't these members who rely on the captain's carry performance give the captain a few kowtows?
411L: To be honest, the members' production skills aren't as good as Kwon Yong and Sang Jie's. Sometimes, the best choice is for the right people to do the right things.
412L: OMG, this isn't the time for you guys to brag that everyone's production skills are as strong as Quanlong/Shangjie's.
435L: 411L, this isn't a reason to take other people's efforts for granted. Do you really think everyone in the world is a parent?
441L: Thanks to the development of the times. In the past, I felt strange when I heard some marketing talk about team spirit, but I didn't dare to object at all, otherwise I would be called a crazy toxic solo stan. Now, no matter what, at least it's much more relaxed than before.
457L: Has no one noticed how loyal Sanghee is? She's been promoting the same idol since 2009 until early 2014. I declare her a true long-term believer.
466L: Oh my, it's been over four years already. Doesn't this kind of situation cause burnout? I usually get bored with a band after more than three months QAQ
469L: So Dream Building has returned to the present.
476L: What's it like when your fan account is suddenly exposed after you stop liking your idol? And you're also an artist, and your former idol is a senior in the same company.
This is a question that really needs Xi Mei to answer.
491L: Zhu Meng didn't say he was leaving the fandom when he left.
493L: Usually, when people stop following celebrities on that account, they say they're going back to their real lives, right? I thought that was the norm...
494L: Huh? Is that so?
507L: I think it's better for the people involved to answer some questions, so could you ladies in this thread use your connections to get Sister Shang on a show to answer these questions? Thank you! [bows]
512L: Also hoping for connections. It would be even better if Xi-mei could respond to her relationship with Quan-long. (ps: Please don't hit me, I'm just a CP fan still dreaming)
While everyone was discussing it enthusiastically, many people started digging into the private SNS accounts of other idols.
If we don't expose it now, are we going to wait until we're criticized to do so later?
Everyone knows perfectly well that digging up alternate accounts is wrong.
But who cares now?
Whether the exposed alternate accounts are real or fake is of little concern to anyone.
And so they plunged into an absurd frenzy.
The heat remains, and it's more like a flame that will burn brighter and brighter, spreading to other places as well.
The artists from the same company as ETEs were the first to be affected.
However, before the matter escalated further, major entertainment companies jointly issued a statement that evening, urging the public to stop overly focusing on and interpreting celebrities' private SNS accounts.
People with real connections will have a way out even if their background is exposed.
Han Shangxi knew all this.
As for why we did it even though we already knew?
It just goes to show that people get annoyed sometimes.
Han Sang-hee has never been the type to always back down and be willing to sacrifice.
She thought that the public should also have the right to know some things.
It's fine as it is now.
When someone mentioned suspending the activities of the ETE group and its members, Han Sang-hee simply sat quietly without uttering a rebuttal.
The air fell silent for a moment.
As if oblivious to the subtle or overt attention she was receiving, her gaze remained fixed on the cup in front of her, as if she were completely disconnected from the real world.
Contrary to his outward appearance, Sang-hee has a vibrant inner world.
Oh my, so you really wanted her to come forward?
"This matter hasn't reached that point yet."
All three members of ETE are seriously preparing for their comeback.
If activities are suspended simply because of what is happening now, it will inevitably make people suspect that the company is guilty first.
Sanghee, what do you think?
Yang Hyun-suk refuted the calls for ETE to suspend its activities, adopting a protective stance towards ETE.
However, in the end, the conversation turned to Han Shangxi, forcing him to express his opinion.
"I'll always have to come back. Fans have been waiting for so long. Even if it's the last time I appear in front of the public as an idol, that's fine too."
Han Sang-hee did not say anything that sounded like he was making a statement.
He was smiling as he spoke, but anyone could tell that his smile was forced.
She hasn't looked at her phone since she came in, completely unaware of the outside world's direction, and should be feeling anxious as usual.
There were quite a few people who were calling for Sanghee to leave the industry some time ago.
There are even people planning petitions to have Sanghee leave this world.
It was at this moment that everyone present realized that this person had no assistant and no one had informed the outside world of his activities.
When they were discussing this, they were only analyzing the dangerous situation of ETE's future comeback and the covetous eyes of other girl groups. It seems that they didn't really mention the change in public attitude after the secret account was exposed.
They thought Sanghee would have anticipated this.
So Sangghee is still unaware of the current situation outside?
It was all for nothing.
Jiang Suxian and Yang Xianshuo exchanged a subtle glance, their eyes reflecting a knowing understanding that the other had managed to forget the incident.
However, it's good that some things can be explained.
Jiang Suxian, however, was not in a hurry.
She had achieved her goal for the day. Whether Han Shangxi was as innocent as she appeared or had her own agenda, it wouldn't affect her. She would simply assume that what Han Shangxi showed was genuine.
She and Lee Young-cheol were friends, but even the gifts he gave her came at a price, not to mention the gifts he gave to Han Sang-hee.
As if thinking of something, Jiang Suxian's gaze fell on Han Shangxi, and her first words were in a comforting tone.
Everything will pass.
ETE will always be the ETE of the three of you.
After receiving the news that all three people's alternate accounts had been exposed, Jiang Suxian's first reaction was that Han Shangxi was very lucky.
However, she later rejected her own idea.
She believes that human effort is more important than luck in some matters.
Han Shangxi is very capable.
But did she actually do it?
Jiang Suxian's initial hesitation vanished completely when she thought about what had recently happened to her.
She felt that Han Shangxi was not the one who did it.
Finally, Jiang Suxian could use the fact that ETE consists of three people to give Han Shangxi a warning. She believed she had already been very good to her friend.
When interests are involved, it's hard for even the closest friends not to harbor resentment.
This statement is very apt when applied to Jiang Suxian and Li Rongzhe.
Seeing that Jiang Suxian had no intention of continuing, Yang Xianshuo, who had not yet achieved his goal, fell silent.
He didn't expect that Director Jiang would do this this time.
That's not what he said before.
Does that mean we should leave this matter to him to handle?
Yang Hyun-seok originally only intended to take advantage of Han Sang-hee's promise to resolve the matter.
Han Sang-hee's solution to this matter was simply to step forward and say that she would not abandon the members, making the public look forward to the upcoming comeback.
Given the public's attitude towards the other two members of ETE, the investment in their upcoming comeback will definitely increase.
With a new boy group about to debut and a new girl group in preparation at the company, it wouldn't be unreasonable to let ETE promote the new grandma couple, right?
He had already planned out how to do CP marketing.
When creating a romantic pairing, just casually eliminate those negative influences.
After all, the content on Sanghee's alternate account did have some impact on BigBan.
Did all the plans go down the drain?
Originally, things went too smoothly as Yang Xianshuo had anticipated. During the meeting (crossed out, a trap), he had someone expose another person's alternate account as well.
That person should be coming up soon.
He is the head of the YG family and also a businessman.
He values the company's future development more than the current lineup.
Yang Hyun-suk does not regret his choice today.
There was just a slight mishap this time.
"Sanghee, you haven't had a proper vacation since your debut, have you?"
Yang Hyun-suk thought about it and chose to promote the newcomer rather than create a romantic pairing.
It wasn't that he valued the company's current lineup more at this time; it was mainly because he had already laid the groundwork for the latter.
While creating a romantic pairing, you can also help newcomers.
It's completely deliberate to give newcomers exposure and build rapport on variety shows.
"President-nim, before taking a vacation, I still want to focus on making ETE's comeback a success."
Although he didn't know what President Yang was up to, Han Shangxi dealt with it very skillfully.
If I'm not mistaken, the company has already begun to address this issue.
Ultimately, the impact of this matter will be minimized.
Since someone else is handling it, why doesn't she focus on shoveling the snow in front of her own door this time?
Now that things have come to this point, the most important thing is to clearly explain the current situation to Sanghee.
The meeting was therefore suspended.
While leaving the conference room for some fresh air, Han Shangxi was pulled aside by a senior executive who claimed to be late and not very familiar with him, and they talked for almost ten minutes about the current public opinion situation.
Sometimes, achieving your goal only requires simple and unpretentious methods.
Or rather, sometimes people don't even want to pretend.
This person emphasized the current online popularity of Sanghee's alternate account.
And GD's exposed alternate account.
Listening to the implied meaning in the other person's words, Han Shangxi found it somewhat amusing.
Okay, so it turns out idols aren't really considered people in everyone's eyes.
Finally, seemingly casually, the person mentioned the invitation the company had recently received for the show "We Got Married".
"How does the company really see me?"
Meeting the expectant gaze of that person, Han Shangxi smiled slightly and asked the question that had been bothering him.
Back in the conference room, Han Shangxi ignored the newly appeared figure and focused his gaze on Yang Xianshuo in the center of the crowd.
"President-nim, I want to know, what exactly does the company consider us artists to be?"
Even if something has become an unspoken rule that almost everyone accepts, it will not be made public.
Because it's not respectable.
