Volume 1 2009 Chapter 123: Complaints can also be very noble
"What kind of mentality does she have to say such things?"
"Are you crazy?"
“Are you complaining about yourself?”
"Self-deprecation?"
“Aren’t you the one who doesn’t read?”
"I'm not like you. My bag is full of books."
"Yeah, fashion magazines count, too?"
"Sister~ " Yi Haoyan looked at Jessica helplessly: "Although I am very grateful for your help, this kind of self-destructive help...it's better to be cautious."
Jessica laughed at the boy's lingering fear. She reached out and patted him, then turned her head away to hold back her laughter.
"Hahaha!"
"Self-destruction... self-destructive help!!"
“Good image!”
"Sister Jessica herself laughed..."
Yi Haoyan, who was a little speechless after being struck by Jessica's nonsensical remarks, reorganized his thoughts and expressed his own views.
"In fact, Girls' Generation is no longer an ordinary idol. You are more important than you think."
Looking at the nine members of Girls' Generation, the boy said frankly: "Girls' Generation has outstanding talents, and their experience and time period of popularity are very special. The topic and social influence they have created will far exceed that of ordinary idols."
"Why do you say that? What's the difference between us?" Tiffany asked with her head tilted, her puzzled look reminiscent of the cute look she had in the early days of her debut.
"Let's talk about the popularity first!" Yi Haoyan spread his hands and indicated, "Most idol groups become popular in a similar way. After debuting, they accumulate a certain amount of popularity and rise to a new stage with the explosion of one or two hit songs. This stage is basically the peak that most groups can reach. Of course, a small number of groups can continue to release famous songs at this stage, and their status continues to rise, thus reaching the top. Idols who have become very popular basically follow this route."
Yuri asked in confusion, "Isn't it the same for us?"
"From an industry perspective, Girls' Generation's development also follows this rhythm, with the initial accumulation of popularity and the explosion of 'Gee'. It seems no different. But there are three special events in this process that other idols don't have. These three events provide the right time, right place, and right people, allowing you to soar to the sky."
Yi Haoyan raised his index finger and indicated: "One, the Black Sea incident."
Hearing this word, the nine girls felt a little uncomfortable. That dark period had caused them a lot of harm, so much so that they still avoid mentioning it.
"This is not all bad." Yi Haoyan comforted with a smile.
"Nietzsche said, What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
…
…
After observing the expressions of the others, the boy suddenly paused and complained loudly: "Ah! Don't you know who Nietzsche is?"
The silent atmosphere at the scene disappeared instantly.
“Poof~”
"Hahaha!"
"Oh~ You really need to read more books. It's really unbelievable that you don't even know Nietzsche..." the boy scolded angrily.
"Haha, I'm angry!"
"It's embarrassing to say famous quotes but no one understands them, right?"
“That’s right!”
"Ah~ Aren't you the ones who are embarrassed?"
"Ah! Artists don't read much, so it's normal for them not to know this, right?"
"Sister Yuna, just because you're beautiful, does that mean you can be shameless? Isn't this too much?"
“Thick, cheeky?!”
"Haoyan is so brave!"
"ah!!!"
“Yoona!”
"Hahaha!"
“Yoona is in shock!”
There were people coming and going, and some were taking advantage of the situation to gloat over others' misfortunes. As expected, the waiting room became noisy again.
Amidst the chatter, a weak reply was heard.
"Is...he is a famous German philosopher?" The youngest member Xuxian spoke cautiously.
For a moment, the room was so quiet that even the sound of Taeyeon slurping jelly could be heard clearly.
"Xu Xian!"
“It’s all over now!”
"Yoon-ah is going to be talked to death!"
"It turns out that it's not that celebrities don't have much education, it's just that some people don't have much education?" Yi Haoyan glanced at Yoona and teased in a sarcastic tone.
“Here it comes !”
"Ah! Maknae, what have I become when you say that?"
"Stop talking, you face girl. If you keep talking you'll just be left with nothing but shameless looks. Your twisted values have successfully offset your beauty." Yi Haoyan looked at Xu Xian, who looked as if she had done something wrong, and complained sharply.
"Yoona is panicking!"
"Haoyan is so ruthless!"
“So exciting!”
"hehe!"
"Yurioni!!"
Yoona was so angry that she was fuming, and Jessica smiled and helped her aside.
Yi Haoyan continued, "Where were we just talking about? Aixi, I was shocked by the ignorance and shamelessness of the doorman xi, which affected my train of thought."
“Shameless!??”
"Ah!!" Yoona almost couldn't hold herself back, and Jessica quickly grabbed her and tried to persuade her.
"Don't let Yoongi go."
“It’s so tragic!”
"The degree of being pressed to the ground and rubbed."
It was a mess, and finally it was Xu Xian who helped to connect the dots.
"We were just talking about the Black Sea and Nietzsche's famous quote."
"Oh, yes, fortunately, there is Sister Xu Xian, who has rekindled my young and pure heart's hope for the world."
“Hey~”
"A ruthless and vicious boy."
"Haha, that's right."
Ignoring the complaints, Yi Haoyan continued, "You have survived this incident, which is an invaluable asset. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Only after going through hardships can you understand the meaning of success. This incident can strengthen your ability to withstand pressure externally and enhance cohesion internally. The unity of the group is the lifeline of idol groups. Many successful groups have declined due to internal discord. You can see this by looking at HOT, TVXQ, and Shinhwa. So the 'Black Sea Incident', which has never happened in the history of the Korean idol industry, has given you 'harmony among the people'."
"Yeah," Sooyoung nodded, "The Shinhwa brothers are indeed very united. They faced so much pressure when they left the company, but they still united to save the group. Although they have passed their peak, their status is still very high."
"We did suffer a lot from that boycott, especially Taeyeon and Yoona who were still active at the time. But it also made us see our own hearts clearly, and we have supported each other to get to where we are today. Now it seems like a treasure," Tiffany said emotionally.
"I'm actually fine. It's pretty isolated on the set, but it's not easy for Taeyeon." Yoona turned to Taeyeon, and everyone else was looking at her.
Taeyeon put down the jelly in her hand and replied with a smile: "It's all in the past. The most important thing is that we all have a good result. The group has become popular. Everyone's wishes for many years have come true. Now we have to work harder and create the glory of our Girls' Generation!"
As she spoke, she stood up and stretched out her hand. The other members spontaneously gathered around her to form a circle and shouted the slogan they had been using since their debut.
"Now it is!"
"Girls' Generation!!"
"In the future!"
"Girls' Generation!!!"
“Always!”
"Girls' Generation!!!!"
“Pah, pah, pah!”
As the only audience member in the room , Yi Haoyan clapped and cheered excitedly.
