After arriving at the scene smoothly, Ji-eun followed the staff to make preparations, while Lee Jin-woo walked towards camera position No. 1 where Yoon Hye-na was.
"Boss, you're here."
"Hmm~"
Looking at the stage, the young girls with childish and ignorant faces tried their best to perform perfectly. However, whenever someone made a small mistake, even if they managed to avoid being captured by the camera, they would glance towards the position of their agent with fear.
Z Entertainment is really too kind to its artists.
Fortunately, everyone performed very well, achieved excellent results, and made a lot of money for the company.
"How was the performance of Girls' Generation and T-ara?"
Li Zhenyu deliberately did not pay attention to the fact that Girls' Generation and T-ara were competing on the same stage these days, so as to avoid intervening out of weakness.
Yoon Hye-na smiled and said, "Very good, they all performed very well."
Girls' Generation's local fans simply dominated T-ara's fans, and they were "defeated" right from the start.
Pink roses swept the entire venue, with only a small area lit up with T-ara's lemon yellow each time.
Then, on the second day, the pink rose was squeezed to only half, and the bright lemon yellow all over the ground was able to compete with it.
"Do you know where they came from?"
Seeing Yin Huina's playful smile, Li Zhenyu said with certainty: "Yan Country."
That’s right, it was the army of fans from Yan Country, who were almost squeezing out the Pink Roses so that there was no room for them to sit. The day before yesterday, their stage performance took up most of the venue with an overwhelming advantage.
The crown sea can be seen everywhere...
To be honest, after learning about this, Yoon Hye-na understood all his previous arrangements. It turns out that the fan potential of Yan Country is so terrifying.
In Yan Country, these people account for less than one ten-thousandth of the total population.
"So, Girls' Generation's results were crushed?"
Li Zhenyu was also a little surprised by this, and felt mixed emotions, not knowing whether he should let the situation develop in this way.
"No~"
Yoon Hye-na's answer once again exceeded his expectations. "The fact is that there are also a large number of Girls' Generation fans coming to Seoul to support them... There is a strong smell of tension between the two sides."
Not only in the mainland of Yan Guo, but also in Hong Kong Island and Neon, a large number of fans arrived in Seoul to support Girls' Generation in person.
Obviously, fans of both sides are very concerned about this head-on collision, perhaps to understand the meaning or to see something.
However, the company has been criticized a lot online.
T-ara's fans, in particular, believe that the company clearly favors Girls' Generation and does not give T-ara enough space and time to grow, pulling them in front of seniors before they have a chance to "grow up".
This is clearly an unfair competition, not to mention that T-ara's focus is on Japan, and even their performances and promotions in Japan are much less than Girls' Generation's.
Anyway, it's not fair...
"You mean, the fans blame all this on the company."
“…Yeah, that’s right.”
Yoon Hye-na turned her head and tried her best to act normal, but the slight shaking of her shoulders still made Li Zhenyu realize something.
When he opened INS, the 99+ messages did not surprise him.
But the private message that had turned into '…' let him know that his guess had come true again.
Open the private message...Oh!
The greetings were in four languages and came from the bottom of the heart. Every word was a sincere greeting expressing true feelings, which deeply moved Li Zhenyu.
The fans are so enthusiastic!
He was so enthusiastic that if he showed up at the scene, he would probably be drowned in spit by 'Crown' and 'Pink Rose'.
Li Zhenyu decided that after this comeback event is over, he must reward himself well with Girls' Generation and T-ara.
Together……
Only in this way can they ignore the fans' attitudes, clarify their positions, and understand that Girls' Generation and T-ara are actually as close as sisters, and they are a real family.
The good news is that the company made a lot of money from the two teams competing on the same stage.
Girls' Generation's new single hardcover sold 500,000 copies in one week, and the sales volume is still soaring at an exaggerated rate of six figures per day.
T-ara's sales are not inferior to Girls' Generation, with weekly sales exceeding 500,000, closely following their senior sisters.
Groups that made their comeback and debut at the same time...
The situation was so tragic that Li Zhenyu wanted to apologize to them on behalf of Z Entertainment. It was too tragic.
…
On Music Bank, Function, who was waiting to go on stage, looked pale with a bitter smile on his lips.
Girls' Generation shines brightly on the stage, easily stealing people's hearts and making them crazy. They scream out heartbreakingly, "Kim Taeyeon, Jessica, Im Yoona, Choi Sooyoung..."
The deafening shouts seemed to blow the ceiling off the scene, and the coordinated movements of the people holding glow sticks were even more shocking.
Who taught them this? Hundreds and thousands of people waved their hands in unison, full of power.
It felt like they were on a battlefield, facing a huge army. They...
With only a few people, they would be easily swept and crushed by the enemy's "army formation".
So scary!
"Xiujing, Sister Jessica is so strong."
After singing three high notes again, the captain Victoria Song hunched over and said with a weak expression: "I give up."
How could one possibly defeat such an opponent?
The other members looked unwilling, but after a few seconds, Taeyeon's high-pitched voice broke through the sky, and they all said "hands up in surrender."
Too strong, they are basically committing fouls.
How can it make sense to put all the center positions in one group? Isn't this bullying?! She said "give up," but when Girls' Generation's stage ended and fans cheered that it was F(x)'s turn to go on stage, her bent back straightened up again and her depressed expression became energetic.
No matter what, they are the backbone of the SM family. Even if they cannot win, they will try their best and show all their strength.
"Xiujing, I'm counting on you this time."
Before going on stage, Victoria Song turned around and smiled, then jogged towards the stage with her team.
As the face of the group, Soo-jung's mouth twitched slightly and she followed without saying anything.
Then, the formation was slightly adjusted, and Soojung began to show her face throughout the whole process, making the most of her identity as 'Jessica's sister'.
Even if this identity cannot win the favor of Girls' Generation fans for her and the group, at least it will not cause their disgust and hostility.
The Black Sea is an important part of Girls’ Generation’s experience, but it is also an important part of K-pop’s history.
We have all learned enough lessons from the above, about how to strike the right balance so that "black and red" does not become "black and muddy," the tolerance of children and the way to guide public opinion.
SM has accumulated enough experience on how to better utilize or directly avoid such situations.
However, whenever someone mentioned Girls' Generation, the company would fall into a terrible silence.
It was as if the surrounding atmosphere suddenly condensed and solidified, pressing heavily down on everyone, making it hard to breathe.
