Korean Entertainment: Perfect Cheating Life

Li Xiuyuan is a rare rational fan of the star. Of course, this "rationality" can only be said to be relative.

She has money and free time, so she usually just watches TV series and occasionally chases her idols for fun.

Her favorite idol is SJ, and she has been a fan of these blue guys since elementary school.

After so many years, SJ has entered the retirement period after many twists and turns, and she is also in the retirement state with her natal.

However, also because of SJ, she likes the family love promoted by SM and will pay attention to SM's new idol groups from time to time.

After SJ, SM company debuted many other groups. She went to watch them all, but she had no interest in following any of them.

For example, the latest junior sister group of the old boys, Red Velvet, when they debuted, Li Xiuyuan actually paid attention to this latest junior sister group.

To be honest, Red Velvet’s debut MV was shot like a tropical rainforest, which disappointed Lee Soo-won.

The four members' makeup, hair and styling are almost identical, which is completely different from the highly recognizable members like Function and Girls' Generation, which results in Lee Soo-won being able to identify them only by their dyed hair.

Red Velvet's debut song was not the style that Lee Soo-won liked, so she naturally stopped paying attention to her junior group.

However, when Li Xiuyuan was browsing the forum these days, she found that there was a lot of noise there. After listening to it for a while, she knew the reason.

It turns out that Red Velvet's performance has not been good since her debut. So far, the performance of Red Velvet's comeback can't be said to be a complete failure, but it can also be said that no one cares.

Moreover, just like EXO was attacked by fans of SJ and SHIN for being the ugliest and most money-losing boy band when they debuted, Red Velvet has inherited SM's fine tradition of newcomers being attacked by fans of their seniors when they debut.

As a new girl group, they were attacked by fans of Function and Girls' Generation as soon as they debuted.

In addition, there were rumors that came from nowhere, saying that EXO Baekhyun and member Seulgi were having an affair, and that the three people who left the group were forced out by the new girl group, which led to EXO fans joining in on the scolding.

The debut song of Red Velvet begins with a parrot, and the four members have similar makeup, so they are nicknamed "Four-color Parrot" and "Quadruplets" by Never's haters.

Some are even more vicious and directly call them "Fourth Aunt".

Li Xiuyuan thinks that these derogatory terms are very basic. No matter how vicious the remarks are, they will appear normal in the fan circle.

The second and third generation Peninsula girl groups that were still popular last year have been severely damaged by various incidents this year.

As time goes by, the dominance of the second and third generation girl groups is declining due to the peninsula's fickleness. This year, the only relatively famous new girl groups are Red Velvet and GFRIEND.

However, this is also because there are not many new girl groups yet...

Red Velvet is a little famous because they are a group of SM Entertainment.

It is probably because their music performance was suppressed by the girl group from the small company next door, so SM announced that it will add two new members to the team.

On March 3, SM announced the addition of Yeri as a new member of the Red Velvet group, while another member was posted a black silhouette with a question mark on it to be mysterious.

Many fans who have liked the group since Red Velvet's debut are very dissatisfied with this. While they are scolding SM for being inhumane, they are also calling on everyone to boycott the new members.

There are only two silhouettes of the new members, and fans have already posted a lot of negative comments.

For example, the new member of Red Velvet is ugly, the parachuted member has a background, and is a relative of Li Xiuman.

When SJ added the youngest member Kyuhyun, the fairies' reactions were not so exaggerated.

Li Xiuyuan thought it was quite funny: the overall team performance of the junior sister group was so poor, and she couldn't find many loyal fans.

The group is quite obscure and there are many unexpected problems.

Red Velvet's haters smelled the scent and joined the melee, insulting the new members righteously and indirectly dragging the entire group into it.

A bunch of black fans used the avatars of other idols and cried in the comment section that they wanted to stop being fans of other idols after ten years.

No matter how dumb the real fans of Red Velvet were, they still reacted. For a moment, the intensity of the battle between fans and haters made Li Xiuyuan exclaim that it was wonderful.

However, Li Xiuyuan felt that these people were having fun scolding each other online, and while scolding the new members, they were also doing a lot of publicity for the group and the two new members.

Black and red is still red, isn't this much better than Red Velvet's previous appearance where it made no splash at all?

Li Xiuyuan is very interested in the infighting among fans, and it's not her own fault, so the melon is even more interesting.

Today is the day when the new members are announced. She is calmly prepared to continue reading the comments from fans and haters to add some spice to her boring life.

Li Xiuyuan waited in front of the website on time, and when the preview MV was about to start, she clicked to play the preview video.

The four girls, whose hair was dyed blonde and orange and who were wearing baseball caps, looked completely different from the "quadruplets" that Lee Soo-won had in mind when they debuted. Now they were fresh, pretty, and girlish.

The two girls standing far behind them with their backs to the camera were also wearing baseball caps and dressed similarly to the four members, except that one was shorter and the other taller.

The girl on the far right in front of the camera had a pretty appearance. Li Xiuyuan remembered that her name seemed to be Wendy, and she was the lead singer of the group.

Wendy shouted excitedly, "We, RED VELVET, now have the fifth and sixth members."

"Guys! If we yell their names loudly, they'll run towards us!"

"1,2,3."

The four girls laughed happily and turned around and shouted behind them: "Yeri! Somin!"

——Somin?

Before Li Xiuyuan had time to think about it, the two girls whose names were called turned around with a smile and ran towards the camera hand in hand.

A short girl with orange hair, she looks sweet and cute.

The taller girl had a pretty face that was familiar to Li Xiuyuan.

Her long hair was dyed milky gold, and her eyes were slightly curved. In the sunlight, her whole body almost glowed. The way she ran towards the camera was full of youthful vitality, which directly made Li Xiuyuan's heart empty.

With such top-notch looks and temperament, she is really too beautiful.

She is so beautiful that Li Xiuyuan can forgive her no matter what she does.

The two girls were hugged by their four sisters, and they were chasing each other and laughing and playing.

The picture stayed on Kim So Min. She smiled and greeted the camera. The picture turned black and the Red Velvet logo appeared. Then six cartoon characters popped out one by one.

Next to be played was a preview of the members' comeback looks.

The first is Kim So Min’s personal trailer. A girl with long platinum hair is holding a white camellia and opening the window with one hand. The bright sunshine is not as bright as her smile.

The video flashed through some scenes, in some of which she had two low ponytails in a bow shape.

In a few scenes, she used a blue ribbon to braid her hair into a low ponytail. No matter what the moment, she never hesitated to show off her aggressive beauty.

The short trailer ended, a silver butterfly slowly flew by, and her name - Somin - was left on the black screen.

As an actor, Kim So-min would hide her own characteristics and forget the existence of the camera, so that she could better immerse herself in the role;

The idol profession is special in nature. They must have more "star quality" in the short period of time on stage/under the camera, interact with the camera, and have eye-catching characteristics.

As an idol, Kim So Min is different from her role as an actress. She is dazzling and full of dreamy and virtual feelings. Whenever she appears, Lee Soo Won will cover her mouth and exclaim.

Somin's looks are truly a national treasure, and Li Xiuyuan believes that this video is so beautiful that it deserves to be permanently collected by all fans.

After being controlled by her sister's beauty for a few minutes, Li Xiuyuan regained consciousness after the video ended.

It’s true that my sister is very beautiful, but wait - what’s happening now?

She must have seen it wrong, right?

She belatedly pulled back the progress bar and confirmed it again and again.

Of course her eyesight was correct. A face of this level and a name like this could only belong to their national daughter.

Red Velvet's new member, Kim So Min.

Below my sister’s familiar name were written her representative works “Mother” and “Miracle in Cell No. 7”, as well as a large number of names of well-known movies.

Li Xiuyuan finally found the sense of reality. This is the beautiful sister who once made her cry her eyes out while watching a movie.

The pride of the people of the Peninsula, she is the younger sister that all the SJ seniors have mentioned since her debut.

The little girl almost grew up in her eyes, and she has helped SJ members on many occasions. She has always liked her sister's acting skills and personality.

After all, it is recognized by all Peninsula people that movies starring Somin are of guaranteed quality.

The little girl grew up well and lived up to everyone's expectations and became a very beautiful girl.

But why did SM Entertainment want her to debut as an idol?

Somin won the Blue Dragon Popular Actor Award last year for his new movie, and he ranked first in all aspects such as Gallup, national popularity, advertising endorsements, and Fact Weekly surveys!

Li Xiuyuan couldn't eat any of the snacks in her mouth. The feeling of eating melons in her own home was more terrifying than the collapse of her house.

What is Sima Company doing again?!

They forced Sulli to switch from being an actress to an idol, and now they want Somin to switch to being an idol too?

Scolding my sister is impossible and I can’t bear to do it; scolding the company is easy and burden-free.

She immediately said with a sweet smile: "Shit, SM, what are you doing? Are you crazy!?"

Li Xiuyuan's reaction is also a microcosm of countless people.

Many people on the peninsula fell into confusion. In an instant, several new entries squeezed out the original black entries of Red Velvet.

Kim So Min's strong national popularity made Red Velvet, a small group that no one cared about, a hot search term.

【Kim So Min debuts in a girl group】

【Kim So Min's platinum blonde beauty】

【Why Kim So Min became a girl group idol】

【Yeonan, Yeseung Somin Red Velvet】

In less than an hour, the entry became a hot search in various countries, and Red Velvet's comeback song ICE instantly broke the charts.

Never, dozens of hot posts followed.

Li Xiuyuan flipped through the page and saw a post.

"My daughter has finally grown up, but who knows what group Red Velvet is?"

The first few comments below received thousands of likes and sharp comments from netizens.

--The stock price went up right after the announcement. Lee Soo Man should kneel down to Somin.

--How could Lee Soo Man sign a contract with Somin?

--Somin told Lee Soo to his face that it was okay to hide it from the ATM.

--This is a downgrade...

Other groups are at most the leaders of primary and secondary schools, but with Somin here, they are the leaders of all people.

--It's over. Now I'm really going to become Li Xiuman's ATM.

--Suzy and her dancers version 2.0.

--What are you kidding above? How can Suzy be compared with Somin?

--After staring at the screen for a long time, I only saw Somin's beauty.

--So beautiful Somin.

--For Somin, I forgive this song.

--Help! It finally came. My grandparents asked me how to buy albums and play music!

--Coincidentally, it's the same in my family. My parents acted quickly and have already ordered the album.

--Miyane Oba, I also want to help you cut the melon, but I am not your daughter now... I can't do anything.

--Who are the unlucky ones who returned this time?

--Who knows, who would care about those mediocre groups!

--It's unbearable. This is a real god descending to earth. Who can beat Somin in terms of national popularity?

--How sad. Whoever gets hit by Somin will die.

--Uh, BigBang, EXO, Girls' Generation or IU? Aren't these the big fog in the music industry?

--VIP take BigBang away, you guys upstairs hide your fans and don't cause trouble for my brother.

--Aili is here, don't sow discord between us and the junior sisters.

The brothers all posted bubbles and Instagram to celebrate Somin’s debut.

--The one above, I remember you scolded Red Beibei Seqi?

--Don't doubt it, be confident. The one who scolded Red Beibei the most was Ai Li.

--I faced the horror of Princess Nim. In my lifetime, VIP and Aili appeared in the same post and didn't even quarrel.

--There's nothing I can do. This is the princess' post. If I argue, I'll be scolded by the princess's mother.

--Red Velvet is Red Velvet, Somin is Somin;

I don’t care who you scold, but if you dare to scold Somin, I will scold you.

--Look at the above. Isn't Somin much higher than Suzy? As soon as it was announced, everyone was toxic and fan-following.

--It’s pretty good. They have already completed the journey that other groups would take in their lifetime before they even debuted.

--The princess is really beautiful, but her debut as an idol is really stupid.

--Get lost. Somin can do whatever he wants. Why do you have to control everything?

--Nothing can be done about it, our Somin is so popular. He can do well in both movies and idols.

--You are so brave. You dare to mess with the princess's mother. Are you going to die?

--I don't know whether they want to survive or not, I took a look at the pre-sales of Red Beibei, and it's true that other groups returning at the same time can't survive

--Oh my goodness, let me tell you another ghost story. There is new news about SM.

The company is divided into five core labels, each responsible for different groups, and has just released a new trailer for the entire 15 year.

After Red Velvet's promotions are over, Girls' Generation, TVXQ, EXO, SJ, SPL, and fx are all set to return.

A new boy band was also announced.

Just... wish other companies good luck...

That's all we can say.
