Volume 1 2009 Chapter 82: Feminine Incident
Since the last selection of a new girl group, SM's female trainees have undergone a major reshuffle, with many choosing to give up and leave.
This is also the norm for the Korean trainee system.
Because the market capacity is limited, in order to avoid losses and pursue maximum profits , each company has a fixed cycle for launching artists. Artists of their own company not only have to compete with artists from other companies, but also have to avoid competing with groups in the same company.
The market audience of idol groups is mostly teenagers in their teens and twenties, and the main targets are students and young people. In addition, the audiences of boy bands and girl bands are different. Boy bands mainly have female fans, while girl bands have mostly male fans.
Under normal circumstances, the lifespan of a Korean idol group is generally 5 years, so after F(X) debuts, SM will not have plans to debut a girl group for at least 3-4 years.
This means that the older trainees who were eliminated this time will face a cruel choice.
Should I continue to persevere and bet on a debut opportunity in the next three years or more; or should I leave SM and look for a way out in other companies.
After all, time waits for no one. The older you are, the slimmer your chances of debuting are. The average debut age of Korean idols is 23 years old. In fact, with the obvious trend of younger debuts in recent years, this age will be even lower. After all, idols have a short career lifespan. The older you are, the slimmer your chances of debuting are.
Therefore, for those female trainees over 20 years old, the door to debuting in SM is basically closed to them. Giving up being an idol or looking for opportunities in other companies is a decision that they have to make.
For the 17-18 year old trainees, the inner torment might be even more unbearable.
Theoretically, trainees of this age can wait until the next opportunity to debut in SM. However, according to common sense, when the next opportunity comes, they will be 21-22 years old, basically the older members of the team, and that will be the last chance to debut.
But anything could happen in these 3-4 years. The Korean entertainment market is fiercely competitive, with a generational change every 3-4 years. Will the company's strategy be adjusted? Can their own characteristics and style meet the needs of the company? For these underage children, this uncertain future is a cruel torture to their hearts.
Speaking of underage children, isn’t there one in front of me?
Yi Haoyan unconsciously looked at Pei Zhuxuan who had just entered the room.
Because of the magnifying effect of the camera lens, ordinary people will appear fatter than they actually are when they are on camera. In order to ensure the stage effect, it is a basic requirement for artists to maintain a thin figure, and the thinness of artists is often required to be higher than that of ordinary people. As a trainee, Bae Joo-hyun is naturally required to manage her figure.
After several months in the company, the intense dance practice and strict body management have begun to leave marks on the girls.
The originally round cheeks and chin lines tightened a bit, and the facial contours became clearer. With the already superior facial features, the cuteness on the girl's face gradually faded, the immaturity of the girl began to fade, and the charm of a woman slowly emerged, like a flower bud that quietly opened, with a faint fragrance floating in the air.
High-intensity dance practice has optimized the girl's body lines and posture. The unique female body features are quietly blooming. In addition to being graceful and elegant, she has become more feminine. Just like a tall sapling, she begins to proudly show her youthful vitality and full enthusiasm to the world.
As soon as Zhu Xuan entered the room, she saw Yi Haoyan lying on the sofa. She was not surprised to see him staring at her.
In the past, boys were shy and would always look at her secretly. Now that they are familiar with each other, they start to look at her openly, and even say that looking at beautiful things is a kind of spiritual sublimation, and it is a sin not to look at Sister Zhuxuan's beauty.
Bae Joo-hyun has gotten used to it.
And his eyes were always clear and calm, as if was praising me sincerely, so I just let it go.
Just like now, the boy's eyes seemed to speak.
One moment he's saying that sister's hairstyle looks really nice today and it suits you very well, and the next moment he's saying that sister has lost weight recently and become more beautiful, hehehe!
Huh? Why does this look look weird? As if he is saying something strange?
Hmm? This...
Where are you looking? ! !
Pei Zhuxuan blushed when she found that Yi Haoyan's eyes unconsciously drifted to the front and back of her. Being swept by this seemingly real gaze, her body felt like being touched, as if a feather was gently stirring in her heart, making her feel itchy.
Zhu Xuan, who was furious, picked up the bag in her hand and threw it at the sofa without thinking, hitting someone in the face.
"Ouch!" The sanctioned person was caught off guard: "Why are you hitting me?"
"I told you not to learn your lesson!"
"Why don't I learn well!"
"You know it yourself!"
"I...what do I know!" Yi Haoyan was confused.
"snort!"
Pei Zhuxuan, who was furious, went into her room, leaving Yi Haoyan confused in the living room. He just thought Zhuxuan was more feminine and didn't say anything. Why was he beaten?
After a while, Bae Joo-hyun came out in home clothes. Her long hair was casually tied into a bun on her head. The loose clothes covered her body curves. Combined with the fluffy slippers and casual and relaxed temperament, she gave off a cute homely feeling.
"Get up and prepare dinner," Zhu Xuan pretended to be fine and directed Yi Haoyan: "What are we having for dinner tonight?"
But with Yi Haoyan's bad character, how could he let her go?
"Yes, this one."
Yi Haoyan held the "murder weapon" that almost disfigured him in one hand with an expressionless face, a small women's backpack, and said through gritted teeth: "I'll eat this tonight, stew it!"
Pei Zhuxuan didn't expect him to react like this. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Ah! Why are you so childish? It's obviously your fault, and you're still angry now! I'm not angry anymore!"
"Are you still angry? I was the one who got hit, okay? What are you angry about?"
"Why can't I be angry? It's obviously you..."
Pei Zhuxuan paused. She had actually encountered many such things.
As a famous girl in Daegu during her school days, she has been surrounded by many admirers and often gets looked at with lustful eyes. The XY chromosomes on campus are full of vigor and vitality, so don't expect them to be polite.
To be honest, I've become calmer the more I've experienced. I just need to protect myself and I won't get angry about things like this. Why did I suddenly react so strongly when I came to Yi Haoyan today?
For a moment, Bae Joo-hyun was speechless and didn't know how to refute.
On the other hand, Yi Haoyan seemed to have suffered an injustice, and continued to criticize righteously: "I wanted to say that my sister has changed today and feels more feminine, but I didn't expect to be beaten before I could even say it. What's going on?"
It was rare to see him with an angry look on his face, complaining with confidence. Pei Zhuxuan suddenly felt that Yi Haoyan looked very cute like this, different from his usual steady and reliable feeling, full of childishness.
Such a contrasting effect made her laugh.
Two people were arguing, and one of them actually laughed! Laughed! Laughed!!
The other one was naturally completely confused and puzzled, and then furious!
"Sister, what do you mean by laughing?"
"hey-hey!"
“Am I funny?”
“Hehehe!”
"Do you look down on me?"
"Hahaha !"
"Ah!!! Stop laughing! I'm arguing with you! Be serious!!!"
"Wow! Hahahahahahaha!"
Bae Joo-hyun burst out laughing.
It was a one-sided argument, and in the end, Bae Joo Hyun laughed until she cried. Yi Haoyan was so shocked that he was still upset at dinner time.
"Sister Zhuxuan is crazy." The boy said out of the blue while eating.
Bae Joo-hyun couldn't help herself and almost spit out the food in her mouth. She quickly covered her mouth and tried hard to hold back her laughter.
Sun Enxi, who was eating, looked at the two usually well-behaved little guys strangely.
After listening to Yi Haoyan's harsh accusation, and then looking at Bae Joo-hyun's happy smile, Sun Eun-hee, who rarely saw her mature and talented brother show this side of him, enjoyed the scene without hesitation, without any thought of seeking justice.
"Ah! My baby brother has grown up now! He knows femininity~"
Sun Eun-hee is worthy of being the eldest sister, her skills are not comparable to those of the younger sister Bae Joo-hyun.
She smiled wickedly with the expression of an experienced person and said, "How is Xiao Zhuxuan feminine? Tell me about it?"
"What's feminine about that? It's just... it's a feeling."
Yi Haoyan sensed the ill intention in Sun Enxi's words, and tried to get away with it by hesitating.
How could Sun Enxi let him go? She directly said in a gentle and persuasive way: "Which part of Zhu Xuan made you feel very feminine? Tell me in detail? Aren't you good at analyzing problems? Analyze it for me?"
"Woo~~~~"
Pei Zhuxuan finally couldn't stand it anymore, covered her face with her hands, fled, and ran into her room quickly. Only the stunned Yi Haoyan was left to face the malicious eyes of Sister Enxi.
"Hehe...hehehe." Someone could only smile awkwardly.
