Volume 5 2013 Chapter 906: First Love (Part 1)
There may be some adjustments, but this is the personal schedule that Yi Haoyan has planned for each member.
But whether it is expectation or doubt, the most important thing for Sistar members at the moment is the upcoming group comeback in June.
"Give it to me" is definitely a good song. Sistar has become a big star now, so there should be no problem with this comeback.
This is also true.
On June 11, Sistar released their second full-length album "Give it to me", which topped the charts within two hours .
The Queen of Music is back!
…
…
“I told you ~ Sistar seniors will definitely have a high-quality comeback song. This time, “Give it to me” has a great stage impact!”
During the break, Eun-fi hummed a song and sighed, obviously mesmerized by Sistar's comeback song.
This year is her last year of high school. Logically, she doesn't have to come to school very often, but isn't she temporarily unemployed now?
Because of Yi Haoyan's little thoughts, for Girl's Day's return stage this time, Enfei, as a minor, could not join the regular dance team, so the regular activities were reduced a lot.
Apart from occasionally helping out on some temporary stages at the company's request, the girl suddenly had a lot more time and came to school more frequently.
After all, my boyfriend is also in school.
"Well, Sistar's songs are really nice ."
When Yi Haoyan heard his girlfriend talking about her own girl group, he felt a little strange.
I know everything, but I have to pretend I know nothing and also cooperate with Enfei's reaction.
But the boy didn't reveal anything.
Eun-fi was telling the truth.
Sistar's comeback is indeed very strong this time. The concept is right, the songs are catchy, and the stage is also attractive. It is reasonable that it will be a big hit.
However, what Yi Haoyan is most interested in now is not his own girl group that is returning, but a girl group that he once no longer paid attention to.
After School.
As one of the girl groups that debuted in the 2009 girl group heyday, this group was once very popular in Korea.
At that time, the boy also discussed their song "Bang!" with Eunbi.
But since Park Ga-hee graduated in June 2012, Yi Haoyan has not paid much attention to her.
He felt the group had lost its soul.
Although After School is not a one-person group and its members are all talented and good-looking, Jia Xi, who has both strong abilities and personality, is the core competitiveness of this group.
After losing such a member three years after debut, he is not optimistic about the group's future development.
The company Pledis Entertainment seemed a bit strange to the boy.
As someone who came out of SM, Han Sung-soo did learn a few things when he founded Pledis.
For example: SM’s aesthetic standards.
The female artists launched by Pledis are all very beautiful.
Son Dam Bi and After School are both tall, good-looking, and have extraordinary dancing skills, and they look very pleasing to the eye.
I remember when After School debuted, with almost every member being 170cm tall, they were the most eye-catching girl group in Korea.
This company also uses this standard to select trainees.
Lee Da Bin, the little school beauty in the cram school group, was a trainee of Pledis before she gained weight. She was later kicked out of the company because of her weight gain.
Therefore, the aesthetic level of this company is still very good.
But apart from aesthetics, Pledis's operational planning level is a bit hard to describe.
A good Korean girl group insisted on imitating Japan's graduation system, resulting in constant changes in members.
From their debut in 2009 to now in 2013, 3 members have graduated and 6 new members have joined, almost half of the entire team has been replaced!
In this case, fans may not even recognize all the people! How can it maintain its scale?
Although this kind of graduation system is very common in Japan, especially in girl groups under the Yasushi Akimoto group, they are idols with no barriers to entry.
For Korean girl groups that pursue the elite route, this approach is not applicable at all and may even be a huge harm.
Fans finally fall in love with a member, but that person graduates, and then they have to get to know the new members again.
The Korean market doesn't buy it.
After School hasn't won any first place since Park Ga-hee left the team, which at least shows the problem.
However, it would not be entirely correct to say that Pledis's operational planning level is poor based on these alone.
Sometimes, they can come up with very eye-catching plans.
For example: In 2010, After School formed a sub-group, Orange Caramel, which consisted of Raina, Nana and Lizzy. The group had a very unique style and was once very popular in Korea. Even now, Yi Haoyan is still impressed by their performances.
The level of this kind of planning is also very high.
So Yi Haoyan was a little confused about this company.
And now, After School has taught him another lesson.
…
…
On June 13, After School officially started promoting their new song "First Love".
Yi Haoyan, who had no expectations, saw the music performance by accident and was shocked to the point of being dumbfounded.
Is After School at this level now?
Isn't this too much effort?
As the music started, the members of After School actually started pole dancing on the stage!!!
What surprised the teenager was not whether pole dancing was too radical to appear on a public television station.
It’s the skill and difficulty that this dance itself represents!
You have to know that the members of After School are really pole dancing, not just twisting their hands around the poles for show.
They are performing professional technical moves just like professional pole dancers!
Climb up the pole using only one hand and one leg and spin.
Hang upside down with your legs clamped around the steel pipe.
Use only your hands or arms to secure yourself to the pole and spin down.
In addition to these technical moves that can be completed by a single person, there are even more difficult combination techniques that can be performed by two members together!
Two members are on the upper and lower parts of the steel pipe respectively, fixing themselves with their hands and legs, and then their bodies "lie" in mid-air and fully stretch.
Or the limbs become tangled and spinning.
In short, it’s not an easy action.
The boy was shocked because this was no longer a matter of inappropriateness!
These actions are dangerous!
These pole dancing techniques are a bit difficult, especially the high physical strength required. It is not something that can be practiced casually by anyone without a basic foundation!
The song is more than three minutes long, and the difficult moves on the pole take up about one and a half minutes!
You know, whether it is erotic dance or not, pole dancing is a very difficult dance, somewhat similar to acrobatics.
Most of the performances of this dance form are performed on a smooth steel pipe, which requires a high level of strength, flexibility and sense of balance from the dancer. In addition, because the performance involves high altitudes, hanging upside down and spinning, the chance of injury is also very high.
Real pole dancers need a lot of practice to perform technical movements.
But After School is just a group of female idols...
