Volume 2 2010 Chapter 220: A Newcomer with a Background
After ending the call with Park So-yeon, Yi Haoyan focused all his attention on this news.
The boy was confused by Kim Kwang-soo's actions.
T-ara is currently on a good momentum and is on the rise.
Every group will have one or two opportunities for qualitative change in their career . When such an opportunity comes, the company will increase investment to increase the exposure of the group, so that the group can take the opportunity to become the focus of attention for a period of time as much as possible, thereby establishing the group's status. This stage is also the busiest time for the group and the hardest time for the members.
T-ara has now got the first chance.
At this time, adding more people will face the problem of adjustment.
In addition to the rearrangement of already released dances and songs, it is also a test of the group's cohesion.
The new members have not experienced the group's struggle period, and have no experience of working together with the old members and no emotional accumulation. It is difficult for them to adapt to such a dense and high-intensity schedule all of a sudden, but they still have to share the money.
For the old members , it is inevitable that they feel they are taking advantage because the new members have not suffered or struggled together, but can now directly enjoy the dividends of the group's development.
If the group's development is not favorable, the old members still look forward to the addition of new members with unique characteristics, and everyone has a reason to work together.
But this is clearly not the case with T-ara.
The group is developing smoothly, and at the moment, the group doesn't really need a rapper.
T-ara's style is not fixed, they try all kinds of songs, and some songs don't even have rap parts. How do the new members show their characteristics as rappers?
If the new member has strong rap skills, it will affect the style of the new song, and a rap part will definitely be added to show the new member's strength, which puts higher demands on T-ara's song selection.
If the new member's rap skills are not that strong, then there is no need to add him this time. Let the new member who is a rapper sing and dance?
Is Kim Kwang-soo not so stupid?
In short, he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought. There must be important information missing, so Yi Haoyan simply stopped thinking about it.
He told Sun Enxi about this matter directly and asked her to collect information in this regard.
This sister is now in contact with the core of CJ Entertainment, so small things like this are easy for her.
Sun Eun-hee called back quickly.
"Haha! You'll never guess who this new member is!"
"What? Is he a great rapper?"
Yi Haoyan thought he guessed right.
"It's quite impressive, but I don't know if it's the rap that's impressive!" Sun Eun-hee's words had some hidden meaning.
"What's the meaning?"
"This member who is going to parachute into T-ara is Liu Huaying. She is said to be good at rap. Her sister Liu Xiaoying is also a member of CCM's artist co-ed school."
Sun Eun-hee said while laughing, "The most amazing thing is not her rap ability, but her father. This lady's father is a member of Congress."
"This is a relative! Is he here to get benefits? Are you kidding me?"
Yi Haoyan was furious when he heard this.
This is the worst case scenario.
It's hard to say how capable he is, but he has a strong background. He is the most difficult person to manage.
The competition among Korean idols is very fierce, and the amount of practice and schedule pressure is not something that most people can bear. It is fine for Ms. Liu to experience the feeling of being a star, but it is inappropriate for her to choose T-ara at this time.
"What was Kim Kwang-soo thinking? Doesn't he know it's a sensitive time to add people? Or add someone with connections who is difficult to manage? If things go wrong, it's going to backfire!"
Yi Haoyan was very strange.
"He probably also wants to use the power of the councillors! If he wants to add someone, why not add someone with a background? Don't Girls' Generation's Sunny and Choi Sooyoung have backgrounds?"
Sun Enxi was just making wild guesses. After all, it was just a group under the company, and it was the idea of the Li family. As a member of the Sun family, she couldn't get involved too much.
“Being part of a group is a very professional thing, and always trying to borrow outside forces like this will not work;
Sunny and Sooyoung have some backgrounds, but their abilities are not bad at all. They both have a long training experience. They are excellent in singing and dancing among the trainees of the same level, not to mention their super variety show abilities. The reason why SM chose them because of their backgrounds is more about their abilities.
Moreover, they didn't join the group halfway, but have been in the group since the beginning. They have experienced the hardships in the early days of their debut together. The same is true for Choi Siwon of SJ, who has a stronger background than them.
This situation is completely different from Liu Huaying's airdrop;
Honestly speaking, no matter how talented Liu Huaying is, it would be more appropriate for her to debut in a new group rather than joining T-ara at this time."
"Hwayoung should have some ability, but it seems that she is not at the level of Girls' Generation at the moment. Not to mention her, even the current members of T-ara can't compare to Girls' Generation."
Sun Enxi smiled and comforted Yi Haoyan.
"Don't worry about it. These things have nothing to do with us and we can't control them."
Yes, although CJ was behind T-ara's development, the main person in charge was the Li family. The Sun family couldn't interfere, and Yi Haoyan had no reason to interfere.
This made the boy feel powerless.
It feels like watching a car speeding down a mountain road.
He knew that the design and structure of the car could not support such a high speed, and he also knew that there were many risks on the road ahead, so slowing down was the best way.
But the driver didn't listen to him. He kept trying to speed up, obsessed with catching up with and surpassing his opponent, and the illusion of taking first place. However, he completely ignored the risk of falling off the cliff and killing everyone in the next second.
The boy had a premonition that he would have to watch the tragedy happen, but he would be unable to do anything.
Apart from him, other people with ulterior motives were even cheering for the car, hoping that it could run faster.
Yi Haoyan felt very lonely.
This is not a game! If you fail, you can try again.
The margin for error on this road is too low, and T-ara has already aroused vigilance and rejection in the industry.
For this group, one failure means there is no chance of recovery.
For CJ it's just a business, but for Kim Kwang Soo it could be his career.
But this is still the dream and life of six girls!
CJ and Kim Kwang-soo can try again if they fail, but what about T-ara?
How could anyone be so indifferent to the lives of these girls?
No one thinks about them?
Yi Haoyan, who was in a somewhat abnormal mood, finally calmed down. This was the second time that he had been emotionally unstable because of T-ara. Logically speaking, he was not familiar with the members of T-ara and was not very close to them.
But it is precisely people like this who can affect his mental state. There may be some reasons for this.
He decided to find time to discuss this phenomenon with Professor Jin.
Before that, he needs to return Park So-yeon's call.
This made the boy think carefully.
Can't tell the truth.
Directly pointing out the background of the new member will make the old members resist and make them feel that the newcomer is bullying and is here to take advantage of the situation. This preconceived impression is not conducive to the running-in of the group.
What if this Liu Huaying really loves the stage and performs well?
After much consideration, Yi Haoyan finally comforted Park Soyeon.
He told the girl that the addition of a new member had been planned for a long time, with the purpose of strengthening the rap part, and President Kim also had high hopes for this new member, hoping that she could bring new highlights and resources to the group.
I believe Park So-yeon will understand what I said. They are all from the same company, and Liu Huaying's background can't be hidden for long. Sooner or later, they will know it. I hope that by then, they will have gotten along well!
