Chapter 324 Sharing Love
Seeing Kim Taeyeon's expression becoming more embarrassed and ashamed in an instant, Zheng Xiuheng already knew the answer. Come to think of it, if a car happened to pass by Kim Taeyeon from behind and suddenly a loud roar came from the side, people with poor psychological quality might be scared.
Zheng Xiuheng patted Kim Taeyeon's head in amusement. This was the second time the two had close contact. The last time was of course when Zheng Xiuheng pinched her little face.
"When you are stressed or worried, the best way is to share it with a good friend, or an understanding senior or teacher. What's the point of shouting alone? The worries you care about will not disappear. If you listen to my show, you must have heard a lot of other people's stories. Those worries accumulated and eventually turned into that kind of thing. Although your worries are a little different from those of ordinary people, they are still worries after all!"
"So, make good friends, friends who are trustworthy and smart. Don't you have so many teammates now?"
The way Zheng Xiuheng looked at Kim Taeyeon was like a little sister, maybe because of Zheng Xiuyan, or maybe because these girls were all SM trainees. At least towards this girl who had approached him to become his apprentice early in the morning, he did not feel too much distance.
Kim Taeyeon blushed a little, but she also listened carefully to what Zheng Xiuheng said. At this moment, she didn't even say anything about her troubles, but she felt relaxed. Kim Taeyeon felt that Zheng Xiuheng was really, really amazing.
"Oppa, how do you usually deal with worries and stress?" Kim Taeyeon asked curiously, and it seemed that she was still quite curious about Zheng Xiuheng.
Zheng Xiuheng was stumped by this question. Do you feel pressure? Of course you do. How do you deal with worries and pressure?
Kim Taeyeon looked at Zheng Xiuheng curiously and found that the senior had a confused expression, as if he was thinking. This surprised her a little. After all, in Kim Taeyeon's eyes, Zheng Xiuheng should be a more cold and confident type, and he should be very good at sorting out his mood.
Zheng Xiuheng thought for a long time before replying, "I can't believe it. If I have to say, it's when I host a radio program and when I'm with my family that I feel the best and relieve stress the most!"
"Oh, I remember now. Oppa said that he became a DJ because of his interest!" Kim Taeyeon said with sudden enlightenment, and immediately remembered what Zheng Xiuheng said on the radio.
Zheng Xiuheng nodded and looked towards the Han River. Some inexplicable emotions grew in his heart, but the result was still the same after all. Some things are easier said than done.
Just like Zheng Xiuheng asked Kim Taeyeon to share her worries and stress with her friends, but in reality it is not so easy to find friends with whom you can share secrets and worries. Of course, the reason may not lie with others, it may also lie with yourself. Not everyone can easily open up their hearts, otherwise, there would not be the strange behavior of shouting on the bridge that Kim Taeyeon mentioned.
That’s why there are so many industries in the world that help people relieve stress. There are also emotional radio stations. Aren’t these also for people to relieve stress and solve troubles?
"Well, interest. What about you, why did you become a trainee? A singer or a star?" Zheng Xiuheng asked with a smile.
Kim Taeyeon didn't hesitate at all and simply replied, "I want to be that kind of handsome singer!"
“Good idea!”
"Now, why don't you tell me about your troubles? I'm a little curious. Anyway, I like to listen to other people's stories. This is not a very good habit, right?"
Kim Taeyeon looked at Zheng Xiuheng in surprise. She didn't expect that her senior had such a habit. But Kim Taeyeon was still a little entangled. After all, troubles were private matters. Was it really okay to tell her senior about this?
The two walked side by side, gradually moving away from the Han River Bridge and heading towards the Wonhyo Bridge downstream.
Mapo Bridge has become one of the focuses of public attention in recent times. First, there was an incident of a failed suicide and a DJ saving the person. Then three days later, someone jumped off the bridge again, but this time there was no DJ to save the person.
The person who committed suicide was also a person from the entertainment industry, and was quite popular in the Hip-Hop music circle. He was a member of a band called Dynamic named Cui. It was said that he went missing after getting drunk due to debts, and his body was found the next day.
This naturally caused a sensation in the entertainment industry. The next day, a fan ran here to commit suicide for love. Fortunately, he was rescued by the police. However, it was revealed that he had an improper relationship with the fan, and he was despised even after his death.
Then a few days later, the government also faced a lot of pressure, mainly because people from the entertainment industry went there to commit suicide. Isn't this asking for trouble?
The South Korean government has issued a message stating that it will re-maintain and redesign the Mapo Bridge to make citizens feel warm and prevent such incidents from happening to the greatest extent possible. It also stated that it will set up a professional Han River search and rescue team to deal with various incidents occurring on these bridges on the Han River.
At the same time, in response to the government's call, relevant departments immediately announced the opening of the "Share Love" concert on the tourist avenue under the Mapo Bridge.
Overall, the surface work is done well, but it actually looks sad.
Although the dead person was from the entertainment industry, not many people were really mourning, especially after the news like that came out later. On the contrary, a stage has been set up on the platform next to Binjiang Road under Mapo Bridge, with the "Suicide Bridge" next to the Han River, and it is surrounded by fans cheering for the boy band. This really cannot be associated with "sharing love". Of course, if it is about sharing love with fans, it can barely be counted.
No matter what, major companies have to give face to this kind of event, so most companies have lined up representative artists, but they are basically younger idols and mid-level singers.
Generally speaking, singers of higher status cannot be invited unless there are special circumstances.
In the several small tents set up next to the stage, the artists are basically busy with their own things and rarely communicate with each other proactively. Because of the company's stance and competitive relationships, there is generally no communication.
This situation is similar to the idol circle in the 1990s. However, after the idols of the 1990s went solo and left their previous agencies, they gradually gathered together. Especially through various regular variety shows in the past few years, many people were brought together, and there were too many cases of group activities.
"Hello, senior!"
Min Xianyi took the children to the tent next door, which was the waiting room for the seniors, and greeted them nervously. To be honest, if you don't know the people in this room, it would be a bit nervous for just a few girls to come in.
The people in the room are all artists who have gained popularity in Korea in recent years. Of course, their popularity is different from that of idols. In addition to their main jobs as singers, many of them have gained super popularity through variety shows.
Among them, the most popular hosts, besides Yoo Jae-suk and Kang Ho-dong, are Shin Jung-hwan, Cheon Myung-hoon, and Kim Jong-min. Especially Kim Jong-min, who won the KBS Entertainment Awards last year, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a big hit.
In the room at the moment were Gao Yaotai, a member of Kim Jong-min's group, as well as Qian Mingxun, Bae Seul-gi, and MC Mong.
People like Gao Yaotai, Qian Mingxun, and MC Meng are all singers who debuted in the 1990s. Regardless of whether they are big names in the music industry, they are definitely seniors for newcomers.
These people have known each other for a long time, and since they have formed friendships through variety shows, they often appear on TV together.
Moreover, they are invited together to many celebrations, and NRG is occasionally included. Gao Yaotai's lead singer Shin Ji even opened a restaurant with NRG's Lee Sung-jin.
Kim Jong-min and Cheon Myung-hoon are in a relationship where they can lend each other large sums of money. Although Bae Seul-gi debuted later, she has participated in many activities with Cheon Myung-hoon after her retro dance became popular. To be honest, they are rare artists from different companies in the entertainment industry who have such a good relationship.
But no matter how you put it, it is still very tense for WG.
"Hey, what are you laughing at!" Because she is preparing for her comeback in the second half of the year, Gao Yaotai's lead singer Shin Ji, who is sometimes fat and sometimes thin, has lost a little weight on her round cheeks, but not much. She has a healthy dark skin color, and her face is still very "scary" at the moment.
“Hoohoo!”
She waved the magazine in her hand twice at the three men who seemed to be infatuated with her, and only then did the three guys except Bai Jia become normal.
"Don't be so nervous. We are not seniors like Shin Ji!"
"ah!"
"Bang!"
MC Mong had just finished speaking when he was hit on the head by a magazine. Looking at Kim Jong Min and Cheon Myung Hoon who instantly distanced themselves from him and stood far away, his expression was extremely... scared.
"puff!"
"Ah, sorry, senior!"
Ahn So Hee couldn't help laughing, but when she saw her seniors' eyes shifted to her, she immediately bowed and apologized. Although "Tell Me" has made them known like a rocket, it does not mean that they have the status to ignore their seniors. On the contrary, they are still far from it.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't be too reserved. In fact, the seniors are all very easy to talk to. I was the same as you when I first debuted, but after getting to know you, you will find that these seniors... although they are not very reliable, they are all kind-hearted!"
"Hey, Seul-ki, the only unreliable one is Jong-min!" Cheon Myeong-hoon immediately shouted when he heard this.
"Brother, what are you talking about!" Kim Jong Min shouted unreasonably, expressing his great dissatisfaction.
Shin Ji slapped his forehead, then walked over to Min Xianyi and said with a smile, "Ignore these unreliable seniors. It's your turn to go on stage soon, right?"
"Yeah!" Min Sun-ye nodded politely, but she was a little nervous when facing Shin Ji. Sun-mi and Ahn So-hee behind her were in a similar mood.
"Haha, Shin Ji, the kids are all afraid of you!" Kim Jong Min shouted fearlessly, as if he saw something funny.
This time it was Cheon Myung-hoon and MC Mong's turn to stay away from Kim Jong-min.
"Yeah, that's because Oppa made up stories that didn't exist. When did I become the discipline squad leader? When did I hit you?"
"Ah, don't come over here!"
Seeing Shin Ji walking towards him with her fists clenched, Kim Jong Min seemed to be frightened and hid behind Bai Jia.
Shin Ji glared at him fiercely, then stopped, turned around and walked in front of Min Xianyi, saying softly: "Do your best on stage, I like "Tell Me" very much, and I will support you, Fighting!"
"Me too, me too..."
"Hey, get out of the way, you're blocking my view in the photo!" Pushing aside Qian Mingxun who was about to show off his dancing skills, MC Meng hurriedly walked up with his phone in hand.
The result...of course he was blocked by Shin Ji.
"Kids, go and get ready. These are all bad examples from your seniors. Be careful of them, especially if they ask you for your phone number, don't give it to them!" Shin Ji looked like WG's mother, protecting them. This scene was very funny to Bae Seul-ki.
"ah!"
Just when Min Xianyi's heart was about to fail and he was shocked by the scene in the waiting room, crazy shouting was heard outside.
When everyone walked to the door and took a look, they found that it was the SM boy group "Shaoji" who came on stage. Although SM is a place that Anti fans often take care of, it is also a company with a huge ability to attract fans.
Look, at least one third of the fans outside are here because of them. Looking at their crazy looks, no one would know that today's theme is because the suicide rate on the bridges on the Han River is too high and there have been many suicide incidents in recent days, so the "Share the Love" concert was specially held to bring happiness, joy and warmth to the public.
Regardless, the stage started, and the girls from WG left the tents of their seniors. Min Xianyi walked to the side and turned to look at the Mapo Bridge diagonally above. When she came here, all she could think of was... Zheng Xiuheng.
"Unnie, are you being crazy again?"
Ahn So Hee thought so as she looked at Min Sun Yee's appearance.
"Ha, since being a captain is so stressful, why not just not do it? Why make trouble for yourself?" Zheng Xiuheng asked helplessly after listening to Kim Taeyeon's distress.
Kim Taeyeon lowered her head and blushed as she replied, "I was afraid that no one would take the initiative to come forward, so I wanted to try to unite everyone like Park Injeong did, but it seems so difficult. Now it seems that there is no way to go further . Rather than teammates... they are more like colleagues. I really don't know what to do!"
Kim Taeyeon's worries are completely different from what Zheng Xiuheng guessed. It has nothing to do with pursuing anything. She is simply worried about the cohesion of the group Girls' Generation and the relationship between teammates.
In fact, Kim Taeyeon's idea is good, but in reality, this kind of thing, let alone in the entertainment industry, can happen in any team, even a sports team for the so-called national honor, and it is normal to lack cohesion.
As far as sports teams are concerned, South Korea's approach is very direct. Projects that have hopes of winning medals are supported by the state and sponsored by companies, and for the rest... it's up to you.
