Volume 6 2014 Chapter 1042 False Happiness (Part 2)
Same as Bae Joo Hyun.
After resolutely giving up on love, Kwon Eun-bi, who took a gamble, finally made her debut successfully as she wished.
In July 2014, Kiroy Company launched the 8-member girl group Ye-A as planned two months after the release of BTL in May.
Eunbi serves as the group's front and main dancer, and her stage name is Kazoo.
On July 16, 2014, the group officially began promotions with their debut stage on the MBC Music music program "Show Champion" and released their debut single "Up and Down".
In an era when the sexy trend is sweeping the idol circle, Ye-A chose to use purity and cuteness as its selling point, which is also a common choice for new girl groups that have just debuted.
In addition to participating in the TV station's music promotion activities, Ye-A also went to Hong Kong on July 28 and 29, 2014 to attend the opening reception and film signing ceremony of Star Gaze Entertainment Group.
This was the resource that Yi Haoyan had asked Lin Jingzhi to contact before. Although the two have broken up now, the contract has been signed and the scheduled itinerary will not change.
Of course, Quan Enfei naturally didn't know these inside stories.
She is working hard for her dream with all her strength and even risking everything.
Debuting is just the first step. Unlike debuting with a big company which can yield success , for groups from small companies, debuting is relatively easy. The real difficulty lies in how to survive in the fierce market competition.
As an idol, practicing hard and performing seriously are the only things Eunbi can do.
She lost another 2 kilograms on top of her original weight, and her overall body management reached its best in history.
In addition, in accordance with the company's requirements, in order to show a lively and lovely image, Enfei ruthlessly cut off her long hair that she had carefully maintained for more than ten years, turning it into shoulder-length curly hair, and in order to be more recognizable on the stage, she dyed it all pink.
This light-colored hairstyle requires rinsing the hair before dyeing it, and the whole process is very damaging to the hair. After the girl's originally thick black hair was treated in this way, many hair breaks and split ends appeared, and the quality was greatly reduced.
But Enfei still endured the discomfort of scalp allergy and prepared for every stage with all her heart.
There are 8 people in their group, and the dance movements and camera allocations are very fragmented. She needs to make herself the most conspicuous one, which is also Ace's job.
Enfei feels that she is happy.
Not only did he debut successfully, but he was also entrusted with important tasks by the company and had a lot of center parts on the stage. What else could he do?
Moreover, not only can the group perform on the three major TV stations as soon as they debut, but they also have overseas resources, which is much better than many groups from small companies.
It is no exaggeration to say that the conditions were better than when Girl's Day debuted.
Quan Enfei is full of confidence. She tries hard to forget the pain of the past and fights for her dream with all her strength.
Perhaps only good grades can dilute the haze in her heart.
But things did not develop as planned, and the group's development momentum seemed to have nothing to do with individual efforts.
Excited and thrilled, Quan Enfei soon encountered a huge setback.
The group's debut song "Up and Down" seemed unremarkable amid the comeback of many sexy girl groups and did not attract much attention.
What's even more cruel is that, with the same lively and cute style, they ran into SM's new girl group - Red Velvet.
The other group's title song "Happiness" is also very lively and cute. Even the costumes of the two groups are somewhat inspired by cheerleading uniforms and look very similar.
The two teams have similar styles, similar clothing, and even in terms of height, they are similar.
However, there is a world of difference between the results and the treatment.
Red Velvet is a big company group launched by SM. They are very popular. Not only do they have their own exclusive background and decorations on the debut stage, but they also have family fans cheering on the scene.
Ye-A was basically ignored. No matter how hard they sang and danced on the stage, the fans only responded politely, which was completely different from the craziness they showed when facing their idols.
Eun-bi noticed the beautiful young lady who had once impressed her - Bae Joo-hyun.
Oh, by the way, her name is Irene now.
A long time ago, at the campus cultural festival in the first year of high school, the two had a brief meeting. Just one meeting, Quan Enfei remembered this beautiful sister.
Not only because of her extraordinary beauty, but also because she and Yi Haoyan have a close relationship and even live together.
I was really jealous at that time...
Now, four years have passed. Times have changed and things have changed. When Eun Fei saw Bae Joo Hyun again, her thoughts were in a mess for a moment.
It turns out that she also debuted this year.
What a coincidence.
…
From the stage, the two are of similar height and face shape. They even dyed their hair pink for the stage look. The difference is that Eunbi dyed her entire hair pink, while Bae Joo-hyun only dyed the middle and back of her long hair pink to fit the group concept. The hair of other Red Velvet members is also dyed half of the hair in this way.
But the results of the two groups are very different.
Although Red Velvet did not get first place with their debut, they ranked third on "Inkigayo", eleventh on "Music Bank", eleventh on "Music Core", fourth on "MCD", and seventh on "Show Champion", which are all pretty good.
And Ye-A didn't even make the list, without making any splash at all.
…
"Wow, Eun-hye, you look a bit like Irene xi?"
Captain Hwang Hyun-jin noticed the group performing on the screen, and the camera was filming Irene.
"Oh? Come to think of it, they are quite similar. Their facial shapes are similar. This unnie is very pretty , but our Eunbi is not bad either."
Other members noticed this, too.
But Kwon Eun-fei didn't respond, she didn't want to say anything.
To be honest, the girl can see the gap between the two of them clearly.
Although both are newly debuted girl groups, regardless of their singing and dancing abilities, just looking at their body shapes on camera, the two are clearly not on the same level.
Although Eunbi has tried very hard, she is still a size bigger than Bae Joo-hyun on camera, and her members are obviously a size bigger than Red Velvet members. And in terms of makeup and appearance, they are obviously two levels higher.
The gap was so huge that it was impossible to describe it, and Enfei didn't want to mention it at all.
This feeling of being crushed was very familiar. She had this feeling when she first met Bae Joo-hyun at school many years ago.
So many years have passed, and it's still the same.
The reality is really depressing.
This reunion was just a chance encounter during a busy promotional event, or even not a chance encounter, it was just that Kwon Eun-bi unilaterally saw and recognized Bae Joo-hyun.
Bae Joo-hyun had no idea that she and Yi Haoyan’s ex-girlfriend debuted at the same time.
Their life trajectories only seemed to overlap for a moment, and then they went in completely different directions.
Red Velvet still has a bright future, and there are many flowers and honors waiting for them.
Ye-A, like many girl groups from small companies, debuted only briefly and was drowned in countless girl groups like a stone dropped into water, without even leaving a splash.
It seems that this is the end of the group called Ye-A.
The same is true for subsequent developments.
The performance on their debut stage was not good, the first album did not sell well, and the group had no resources for subsequent activities, not even any commercial performances.
Members Park Hyesung, Hwang Dahui and Kim Yoon-hyun soon left the group, and what made Eunbi even more desperate was that Hwang Hyun-jin, the former captain of the team, the only member who was a hot topic, and the daughter of a meritorious football coach, also terminated her activities and simply stopped being an idol!
Although three new members Rose, Siha and Mia joined later to form a 7-member group again, the entire Ye-A had been severely damaged and had completely lost its former spirit.
Although the company repeatedly assured Eun Fei that she is still positioned as Ace and asked her to hold on a little longer, the company will prepare for her second comeback at the end of the year.
But the girl herself already felt the chill.
In theory, the company is still preparing for a second comeback, but the feeling of being unable to do so is already obvious .
Enfei vaguely realized that perhaps she needed to rethink her future development direction.
The long-awaited debut was like a flash in the pan, and ended without .
The happiness of debuting that I had been looking forward to was like a fragile little flower. It had just opened its tender petals and had no time to feel the warmth of the sun before it was torn apart by the ruthless wind, broken into mud and dust, and disappeared without a trace.
For Kwon Eun-bi, the so-called happiness of debut is nothing but an illusion.
