Volume 2 2010 Chapter 221 The Cold Truth
Yi Haoyan is a person who is good at reflection and introspection.
Twice, his mental state was affected by T-ara 's affairs, and he realized that there must be something wrong.
His own mental state is his biggest concern right now.
The boy needs an answer to this question.
…
It’s still that familiar office.
The midsummer sun with its scorching temperature tried to come in through the window, but was blocked outside by the thick, dark floor-length curtains.
Cool-toned energy-saving lights, combined with air conditioning, dominate this consultation room, completely dispelling the restlessness and anxiety of summer.
It’s still the familiar sofa.
Two cups of tea.
The familiar scene makes people feel inexplicably at ease.
Whenever Yi Haoyan was troubled by negative emotions, he could always calm down here and confide his feelings to Professor Jin.
This time is no exception.
After listening to the boy's statement.
Professor Jin only asked one question.
"Do you care about your classmates at Seoul Arts High School? Do you care whether they can debut and how they will develop in the future?"
The boy was stumped by this unexpected question.
His expression was a little stiff. He was silent for a while, then slowly shook his head.
"No, I don't care. I am an indifferent person and don't have enough enthusiasm and energy to care about others."
Yi Haoyan considers himself an indifferent person and he doesn't care about other people's affairs.
"Yeah, you don't care."
Professor Jin looked into the boy's eyes, gently gazing at the depressed teenager, speaking slowly and firmly with words that had a calming effect.
“But that doesn’t mean you’re a cold person;
This is not a sufficient condition;
Each of us is responsible for our own life. Only when we pay attention to ourselves and live our own life well can we be qualified to care about others.
If you are already living a miserable life, how can you have the ability to care about others?
If a person breaks his leg and is in so much pain that he wants to take painkillers, he will not have the mood or energy to care about other things. The physical and psychological pain will make him turn a blind eye to everything else around him. At this time, the brain's attention will be focused on alleviating pain and self-protection. This is the instinct of living things.
You feel like you are cold and don't care about others.
Because you are sick.
Depression is an introverted aggressive disease. Patients will blame themselves for all problems and attack themselves.
As a patient, if you can’t even care about yourself, how can you care about others?
It’s not that I don’t want to, but I really can’t do it. This is not indifference.”
The professor's words made Yi Haoyan fall into deep thought.
Am I not an indifferent person?
Just sick?
“It’s actually a good thing that you care so much about T-ara’s affairs. It has positive psychological significance.
This shows that you now have the energy to pay attention to the people and things you like and care about.
This is a sign of recovery.
This, and the fact that you care about your girlfriend and other friends, are all very positive signs.
You are recovering.”
Professor Jin smiled, stood up, took a sip of tea from the cup, and patted the boy's shoulder with his other hand.
"What do you think?"
I?
Yi Haoyan couldn't keep up with the professor's pace. He thought for a while and raised his doubts.
"What you said sounds reasonable, but why would I care about T-ara's affairs? And why not care about my classmates? My classmates are obviously closer to me, and T-ara and I are not familiar with each other."
"Haha! This is so easy!"
The professor put down his teacup and added water to Yi Haoyan's cup while smiling.
"You are upset about T-ara because you like idols. And T-ara is a very successful female idol, so you care so much about their fate and hope they have a good future.
It is precisely because you are not familiar with them that the idol aura is created, making you psychologically concerned about T-ara.
Your classmates are too close to you, and without the aura of an idol, you certainly won’t notice them.”
???
"The halo of an idol? What does this mean?
Me, I am a fan of T-ara???
How is that possible?
These amateur players are far inferior to Girls' Generation!
How can I be their fan?
Absolutely impossible! "
Yi Haoyan could not and opposed it very strongly.
"Haha! Your behavior of worrying about them is very much like that of a fan."
The professor smiled and continued drinking his tea.
"What? I'm not a fan of T-ara. How could I be a fan of them when their skills are so poor?"
"There is a type of fan who is like this. They worry about all kinds of things about their idols, their abilities, their development, and their health. Fan groups usually call this type of fan - mom fans..."
What???
"An Die!!!!"
Yi Haoyan held his head in his hands, feeling unwell...
Professor Key's words were so true and so relevant. The boy couldn't even deceive himself, which was simply brutal.
And the old man hasn't finished yet.
"You should know more about idols than I do. Don't Japan have a kind of idol training system? The characteristic of attracting fans is to show the immature side of idols, so that fans and idols can grow together. I think your attitude towards T-ara is a bit like this...
You see, on the one hand, they despise their lack of strength;
On the one hand, I recognize that they are beautiful and hardworking;
At the same time, I also feel that their future is in danger and I want to save them;
If you can't save me, I'll be sad.
Is this middle school?
Isn't this the typical example of a tsundere person saying one thing and doing another, but actually being a hypocrite and arrogant?
That’s how it’s described in Internet slang, right?
The white-haired old man's words caused tons of hurt to Yi Haoyan.
Professor nim! Where is your hidden expert demeanor? Where is your steady and professional professional image?
Do psychologists still complain online? !
Professor Jin's image changed 180 degrees in Yi Haoyan's eyes. His originally kind-looking face now looked deceptive.
The boy was stunned.
"Besides, T-ara's crisis is your personal idea.
The risks and concerns you mentioned, their president would not be completely unaware of them. President Kim is also an old hand, how could he not understand them at all? There are so many professionals in CJ, he must have also assessed the risks.
It's just that they are willing to take the risk and gamble.
For T-ara, they actually have no right to choose.
We all know that idols are just products of the agency and are highly replaceable.
The six members of T-ara can choose not to do it, then they will not have the chance to debut.
Reality is so cruel.
At least they are popular now. You know how hard it is for idol groups to become popular. T-ara is already better than most idols now. They have a company to support them, endless schedules, fame, and money to earn. It's already pretty good.
It’s just that the fan mentality prevents you from looking at this matter objectively.
It's good that you now care about others. Although the scope is limited to the areas you care about, it is also a breakthrough and progress.
You need to step out of the fan's perspective and look at this issue objectively."
…
Yi Haoyan was too lazy to refute Professor Jin's judgment that he was a T-ara fan. He had more important things to say.
“The assembly line and commoditization of idols is the current reality.
But this also brings many problems.
Idols are the embodiment of human nature's yearning for good qualities. People know that there are no fairies in the world, and no one who is detached from the mundane world, but people still pursue such images, even if it means deceiving themselves.
No matter whether you are a child, teenager, young adult, middle-aged or old, at any stage of your life, you will always yearn for beauty and be moved by touching stories.
This is the cornerstone for the development and prosperity of the entire idol industry!
I wonder how you understand this kind of psychological need of people?"
Yi Haoyan took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and looked directly at the professor, his eyes flickering like stars in a summer night.
