Volume 5 2013 Chapter 905: Soyou's Direction
"Hyolin has been focusing on music, so she can actually consider releasing a solo this year."
Unlike Paula's challenge to be the host of a music show, Yi Haoyan's arrangement for Hyolyn did not cause much surprise to the members.
Kim Hyo-jung's strengths and characteristics are so distinct.
Everyone assumed that she would release a personal album, and that being the first solo in the group was a matter of time, and even Hyolyn herself was not surprised.
"Ahem, now I want to talk about the arrangements for Soyou Nunna and Dashun Nunna."
After talking about Hyolyn, Yi Haoyan focused his attention on two people in need who had not had any personal schedules.
The youngest member, Kim Da-soon, is easier to arrange.
She is a rare "good girl" maknae in Korean groups, the second "bully" in the team, a soft girl with a cute personality, and a typical otaku character.
Although she is the official face of the show, apart from her fair skin, there is not much difference between her and Paula in appearance and figure.
Moreover, Kim Da-soon's personal style is very different from the other three sisters in the group.
As the representative of the "white, rich and beautiful" girls in the group with fair skin, beautiful looks and long legs, Duosun does not actually fit Sistar's sunny, lively, healthy and sexy image label because her skin is too white and her facial features are very orthodox.
However, due to her image and singing and dancing skills, her presence in the team is not very strong, so it has no impact on the overall performance of the group.
Duosun's personality is also different from her three older sisters. She is calmer and more introverted. She also seems simpler under the care of her older sisters.
Therefore, Yi Haoyan planned targeted arrangements for her.
"Duo Shunnu has fair skin and is pretty, but can't sing or dance, and is a homebody. She can't handle other personal schedules, and looks like a silly, innocent girl. She can only try acting."
"Ah! Who are you saying is stupid and who is incapable?"
The first few sentences made sense, and Kim Da-soon nodded repeatedly at first, but he couldn't listen to the rest of the sentence.
It’s true that she’s a homebody and doesn’t like to go out, but it’s unacceptable that she can’t even sing or dance.
This is a challenge to her dignity as an idol.
But Yi Haoyan immediately made Jin Dasun understand how fragile her so-called idol's dignity was.
"Then tell me, Nuna, how are you better at singing and dancing than the other three Nunas?"
This one sentence hit the sore spot for Kim Da-soon.
There is no need to compare. Hyolyn and Soyou need not be mentioned, and Bora is also a member of the team.
Only Kim Da-soon is a nobody.
"I'm better than Paula Ouni."
The youngest member is being stubborn and is obviously picking on the weak.
"Ah Yixi, you damned girl!"
Even a weakling can get angry. Big sister Yoon Bora immediately jumped over to deal with the youngest. Dasun ran away.
The two of them were "running" in the practice room in small steps in high heels.
"Hahaha! How funny!"
The two "group bullies" were evenly matched and were running around wildly in the practice room.
Hyolyn almost died of laughter.
But Zhaoyou just smiled and restrained her expression, seeming not to be in a very good mood.
Even though Dosun was dissed, she is clearly going to pursue an acting career, a personal schedule that all idols envy. Is there anything better than this?
As the lead singer of the group and also possessing a great voice, Soyou has had much fewer solo schedules in recent years.
From her debut in 2010 to now, she has not had any OST resources, and even other personal resources, she has almost no resources.
As a member who shared 90% of the group's singing with Hyolyn, it was a bit too much for Soyou, who was also the lead vocalist, to be treated differently.
In fact, Soyou is the real "all-around ace" in the Sistar team.
As a full member of 4Minute, Soyou's singing, dancing, figure, appearance, and variety sense are all top-notch. She was the president of the student union during her school days, has excellent grades, likes fitness and is extremely self-disciplined. She is a rare all-round talent among idols, but due to Soyou's own low-key personality, she has not received much attention.
But the company also has its own considerations.
In fact, Yi Haoyan and Kim Si Dae specifically discussed the individual development plans of the members, especially Soyou.
Although the two of them have always been bickering with each other, it was just a quarrel. Yi Haoyan still admires Jiang Zhixian as a person, both in terms of strength and character.
Although Bora is the eldest sister and Hyolyn is the captain, the person who can really make decisions in Sistar is actually Kang Ji-hyun. She is the backbone of this group.
Compared to Bora, she is more brave, compared to Hyolyn, she is more mature and stable, and compared to Dasoon, she is more career-oriented and has clearer goals.
Just like Jessica in the early days of Girls' Generation, Soyou is the captain who has supported Sistar to where it is today.
However, these characteristics of hers are very suitable for a group, but not for a personal trip.
Jin Shida was also helpless.
Soyou is a good singer and has a great voice, but she is completely different from Hyolyn.
Hyolyn has a powerful and recognizable "big voice" that can catch the audience's ears as soon as she opens her mouth, making her very suitable for singing OSTs.
But Soyou doesn’t have that kind of voice.
Her voice is very delicate and breathy, and sometimes even seems to have no presence compared to Hyolyn, so it is not easy to catch the ears when she sings OST, which makes it difficult to arrange her direction.
In terms of variety shows, compared to Bora, Soyou is too rational and sometimes a little restrained, lacking some of Bora's silly and lively feeling.
As for acting, Soyou’s image seems to be relatively “hard” and a bit fierce when she is not smiling.
Yi Haoyan had previously joked that she looked like a bad girl, which was different from Duosun's adorable and innocent appearance, so it might not be suitable for her to pursue an acting career at the moment.
Moreover, the company does not have the resources to promote two people at the same time.
Basically, it is best if the personal resources of members do not conflict with each other, otherwise it will bring some problems that are not conducive to the unity of the group.
So, variety shows were given to Bora, music was given to Hyolyn, and acting was given to Dasoon, leaving Soyou alone, who had the strongest but had various problems.
"Where's Soyou? What are you going to do with her?"
Soyou didn't ask herself, but Hyolyn asked for her.
The relationship between Sistar members is very good.
We are all people who have gone through the hardships of sleeping on the floor of the company's practice room in the cold winter. We have been through the same hardships, so naturally we have a special relationship.
Now that I have finally lived a good life, of course I can't just think about myself.
So Soyou didn’t complain much about not having any personal schedules in recent years, and everyone knows that Soyou has made great sacrifices.
Everyone cares about each other.
Now that it’s my turn for personal development, I will naturally not forget her.
"Soyou Nuna is similar to Hyolyn Nuna, and is also a singer."
Yi Haoyan smiled, looking somewhat pleased. Unlike other members, Jin Shida had no idea about Soyou's arrangement.
This was a solution he came up with on his own.
"Are you singing the OST as well?"
Hyolyn doesn't really care that Soyou is heading in the same direction as her.
Even if there is a conflict of resources among the sisters in a group , they can just discuss it with each other. She won’t be so stingy.
"No, it doesn't conflict with Hyolyn's Nuna's route. You two are different."
"no the same?"
Soyou was weird.
If you go the music route, what else can you do besides participating in music shows and writing OSTs?
"Yeah, they're different. Hyolyn's Nu was a solo, while Soyou's Nu was a collaboration with a male singer."
"Eh? A collaboration?"
Everyone was stunned.
"Well, it's a duet or a chorus between a man and a woman."
Yi Haoyan explained with a smile.
"So You Nu Na has a naturally small voice, which is more delicate and gentle, and is more suitable for singing lyrical songs. It would be more appropriate for her to collaborate with her on this type of song. With the presence of a male singer's voice, So You Nu Na's voice will be more distinctive and the effect will be better."
"Yes, is that so?"
Soyou herself was half-believing and half-doubting.
It sounded reasonable, but she had never tried it herself, so she didn't know what it would be like.
But now that things have come to this, she can only bite the bullet and give it a try.
There are actually many songs in Korea that are sung by a man and a woman. The most popular solo female singer IU has recently become popular through this form.
The song "Nag" she sang with 2AM's Lim Seulong was once popular in the streets and alleys of South Korea.
Maybe I can do it too?
