Bae Joo-hyun finally made her official debut.
After nearly half a year of preheating, on July 27, 2014, SM Entertainment released its new girl group's first digital single "Happiness" through the international video website YouTube;
On July 28, the group's trailer was released, and the four members Bae Joo-hyun, Kang Seul-gi, Son Seung-wan and Park Soo-young officially appeared. The group's name is Red Velvet, which means "red velvet", and each member also has his or her own stage name.
Park Soo-young is Joy, Son Seung-wan is Wendy, and Kang Seul-gi is SeulGi, using their Korean names directly.
And Bae Joo-hyun is Irene, the "Goddess of Peace".
On August 1, SM released the MV for Red Velvet's debut single "Happiness", which topped the weekly MV chart on the Chinese video website iQiyi. On the same day, they officially debuted by participating in the stage recording of the Korean KBS TV program "Music Bank".
Then came the busy debut schedule.
On August 4, the first digital single "Happiness" was officially released, topping the charts of major music websites in South Korea and ranking in the top ten of the iTunes singles chart in countries and regions such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. On the same day, the Korean KBS TV program "Music Bank" in which she participated in the recording was broadcast.
On August 6, he appeared as a guest on the Korean SBS Radio Power FM radio program "Kim Chang-ryul's Old School";
On August 15, they made their debut at the "SMTOWN LIVE WORLD TOUR IV" Seoul concert .
On August 17 , they competed for the first place with SISTAR's "Touch My Body" and Block B's "HER" with the song "Happiness".
The entire promotional schedule lasted until the end of August, and with a series of promotional activities, it basically lasted until mid-September.
During this period, Bae Joo-hyun has been busier than ever before.
Especially during the first week of promoting the song, she couldn't even find time to visit Yi Haoyan in the hospital.
There are busy and tedious stage preparations, rehearsals, pre-recordings, and promotions, as well as regular practices at night, interspersed with various radio stations, variety shows, interviews, and even commercial performances.
Bae Joo-hyun's working hours are basically from early morning to early morning, with no rest.
Sometimes I don’t have time to go back to the dormitory to sleep, so I just sleep in the nanny car. I don’t know where I am when I fall asleep, and I still don’t know where I am when I wake up.
I was so busy that I couldn't even think, and I just used my long-trained instincts to deal with various things.
As the captain, in addition to doing her essential job as an idol, she also has the responsibility of taking care of the members and communicating with the staff on site.
You have to get up in time in the early morning and wake up the children to prepare for makeup and styling.
When she arrives at the stage, she needs to communicate with the on-site director about the effects of the rehearsal and pre-recording, and make adjustments if there are any problems.
After completing the stage, she will review the results with the members and summarize the experience.
These are just the stages for promoting songs.
There are more things to pay attention to in interviews and variety shows.
How should you answer questions from the host? How can you be on camera and ensure your broadcast volume? What etiquette details should you pay attention to when working with seniors? What topics can you participate in and what topics can you never talk about?
Although the company teaches these things on a regular basis, the actual operations are still complicated and many problems will still arise.
As the captain, Bae Joo-hyun needs to pay attention and remind the members, even though her own artistic talent is not that outstanding.
In addition to work, the members' living conditions, physical conditions and mental states are also things that need to be considered.
After all, apart from her, Seulgi and Seungwan have just turned 20, and Sooyoung is only 18. The children may not be able to adapt quickly to such a sudden increase in work intensity.
Although the intensity of my training as a trainee was quite high, the environment was relatively simple at that time and it was just physically demanding. Now that I have officially debuted and have the opportunity to interact with fans face to face, I need to adapt to everything again.
Therefore, the 23-year-old Bae Joo-hyun naturally became the object of reliance and dependence of the members.
She did a great job.
Really good.
Maybe it was because Yi Haoyan helped to clarify the positioning early on, maybe it was because Bae Joo-hyun was really good at taking care of people, or maybe it was just an excellent habit that was developed through long-term efforts.
In short, during the promotion period, Bae Joo-hyun made almost no mistakes, and the entire group successfully completed its first promotion schedule after debut amidst trepidation.
…
…
After the final performance of the song, Bae Joo-hyun finally had time to visit Yi Haoyan.
It has been almost a month since she last came here .
It was late in the evening, and the place was still as quiet as before. As usual, the boy had already taken medicine and gone to sleep under the care of the nurse.
Bae Joo-hyun is used to it.
She often encountered this situation when she came here before, but it didn’t matter. As long as she saw that familiar face, the young lady felt at ease.
My tense nerves finally relaxed here.
Due to the high-intensity work for several days, Bae Joo-hyun, who had not gotten enough rest, was in poor condition. Without the cover of her stage makeup, her originally beautiful face and translucent skin now looked haggard and dull, having lost her former beautiful luster.
But the young lady doesn't care about these things.
She is too tired.
Anyway, Haoyan can't see how embarrassed he is now, so he should just be a little sloppy~
The young lady sat on a chair beside the bed, her upper body leaning weakly beside the boy. She tilted her head and looked at him while secretly sniffing the familiar scent, her mind full of thoughts.
Only after she was done with her work did she have the time and energy to sort out her feelings and emotions.
Finally debuted.
This was something that I had been thinking about for several years, and now it has finally become a reality.
But the joy and excitement of a dream coming true is not as strong as imagined.
Of course it is a happy thing to debut, and there is no trainee who doesn’t want to step onto the official stage and greet the cheers of fans.
But what have you paid for these?
The one who cares the most.
The person I most wanted to share joy with has now become what he is now.
What is the significance of his debut to him now?
Bae Joo-hyun suddenly felt a little empty, as if all her past efforts had suddenly lost their meaning.
It’s like a delicious meal that you’ve been looking forward to for a long time, but when you finally put it in your mouth after going through so much trouble, you realize that it’s not as sweet as you imagined.
A hint of resentment, like a faint bitterness, lingers on the tip of the tongue and in the heart, and cannot be shaken off.
The young lady tossed and turned, frowning.
Haoyan, when will you be able to recover and become the way you were before?
