Volume 2 2010 Chapter 318: Harvest at the End of the Year
Girls' Generation is not the only group that has made gains at the end of the year.
2NE1 won the Best Singer of the Year and Best Album of the Year at the 2010 MAMA Awards with their strong musical skills.
At the MMA Awards ceremony of the same year, 2NE1 also won the Album of the Year Award.
In addition, some singers followed by Yi Haoyan also achieved good results.
Sistar won the Best New Artist Award at both the Golden Disc and MAMA awards.
IU won the Golden Disc Award for the song "Nagging" sung with Lim Seulong.
4Minute, After School, Secret, and T-ara also won various awards.
But none of these can compare to Miss A.
This new girl group launched by JYP won the MAMA Song of the Year and the Golden Disc Music Award for "Bad Girl Good Girl".
The scariest thing is that this song was number one on the Melon chart in 2010!
They are the first singers to win . Moreover, this song was only released in July. Strictly speaking, it only took half a year to win the first place in the annual chart, which is simply overwhelming other songs...
Yi Haoyan had nothing to say except admiring Park Jin-young's musical talent.
Although he personally does not think that the song "Bad Girl Good Girl" has such a magical charm, the data truly reflects the preferences of the Korean people, and JYP's understanding of the Korean market is indeed extraordinary.
Of course, the boy also took the initiative to congratulate Bae Suzy through a video call after they had put aside their past grudges. And Suzy, who knew Yi Haoyan's identity, for some reason, naturally introduced him to the sisters as a school classmate who was helping with their tutoring.
The three were very surprised when they learned that Yi Haoyan was from China.
Especially Fei and Jia.
The two sisters all lamented that it was not easy for Yi Haoyan, a foreigner, to have such excellent grades that he could tutor Suzy even though he had only been in Korea for a short time.
"Not really. It's mainly because Suzy's grades are so bad. I can surpass her if I just study hard."
He naturally spoke Chinese with his fellow countrymen. Yi Haoyan bullied Suzy for not knowing Chinese and dissed her in public without any hesitation.
"Haha! You're really direct. Is that how you say our maknae?"
Meng Jia couldn't help laughing out loud as she looked at Bae Suzy who was grinning foolishly because she didn't understand.
"I said the same thing to her face in Korean. We are classmates at the Arts High School, and I am responsible for tutoring her. How can she have the aura of a star?"
The boy was not polite at all.
"Are you going to stay in Korea forever? Are you going to work behind the scenes?"
Wang Feifei was also very curious about this special little fellow from China. Although there were many Chinese people in Korea, she had never met a top student like him.
"Yeah, that's about right, so the sisters should work harder! I was hoping to make a living from the two sisters in the industry in the future!"
"Haha! You're really good at talking! It's settled then!"
“Ouni! What are you talking about?” Suzy was unhappy being left aside.
"Nothing, I'm just praising you! Whether it's academics or career, you're a winner in life!"
Yi Haoyan fooled Bae Suzy without changing his expression.
"real?"
Seeing how happily her two sisters were laughing, and thinking about the past behavior of this sharp-tongued young master, the girl simply couldn't believe that he was someone who would say such things.
"Of course, if you don't believe me, ask the two of you~"
The boy was full of confidence. Since they were both from China, Fei and Jia would certainly help him.
As a result, the two of them whispered to Suzy and told her the truth.
"Ah! You said something bad about me!!"
Amid Bae Suzy's angry rebuke and the happy laughter of others, the overconfident boy ended the video call in embarrassment.
…
Sistar's winning of the Newcomer Award is great news for Son Eun-hee, as it further validates her decision to invest in Starship.
Although it was her beloved younger brother who first paid attention to them, this did not stop Miss Sun from taking credit for herself.
That’s right!
When it comes to siblings, what’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is still mine.
Yi Haoyan doesn’t care too much about Sistar’s affairs. The planning and selection of this group are all right, and it’s only a matter of time before they become popular.
He was interested in someone else.
"IU won an award for 'Nagging'."
The boy reminded his cousin while eating.
"Arasso , it's just an appreciation of the source of the sound~" Sun Enxi disagreed.
"IU has released a new album, and the title track "Good Days" is great."
Yi Haoyan stared at his cousin seriously, "I think she's going to be very famous~"
"Oh? Why?"
Sun Eun-hee was very surprised. Although IU had good results last year and her new song was also good, she was a solo. Could she be suitable for the current market?
Bae Joo-hyun also remembers this girl, and the boy even specifically said that her development path was very special.
"This song 'Good Day' was produced by Kim E-na and Lee Min-soo, the golden combination of 'Nag'. Although the style of the song has some operatic flavor, it is very suitable for IU's singing voice, and there are three consecutive high notes, which really shows her singing skills."
Yi Haoyan looked at Sun Eunxi and stopped her from saying anything, "I know what you mean. This three-part high note is not difficult for a real professional singer, and IU's singing skills are far from being impeccable.
But, IU is not just a singer. Remember what I said before, she is a singer who takes the idol route? "
"Yeah! That's what you said last time. IU senior can go the idol route first and then transform into a talented singer."
Bae Joo-hyun remembers it clearly.
"What's so special about this?"
Sun Enxi was puzzled.
"There are so many benefits here! LOEN is doing this too!"
The boy clapped his hands excitedly, "IU debuted as a solo singer, and her debut song 'Lost' was all singing and no dancing. It was obvious that she was going to be a professional singer, but unfortunately her performance was average.
The second album's single "Boo" began to incorporate dance, and the third album's single "Marshmallow" also incorporated dance. At this time, it was obvious that the song was moving closer to the idol route and catering to the market.
But at this time, IU had not yet found a style and route that suited her until she produced "Nagging" with Kim Yina and Lee Min-soo.
This song is very suitable for IU's singing voice and style, and it is very popular. But this song is a duet and there is no dance.
By the time of "Good Day", I realized that LOEN had found the image and positioning that suited IU.
That's a professional singer who's going the idol route!"
"A professional singer who is an idol? What does that mean?" The two sisters were still a little confused.
"IU is only 17 years old now, she looks young, cute and likable, and she has the potential to be an idol.
She has good singing skills and a very unique voice, but her dancing skills are not good enough and she is far from meeting the requirements of a girl group.
It's obvious that it's not possible for her to follow the path of Kim Hyun-ah or Lee Hyo-ri, but if she just wants to be a singer, the current market response is not good. Even a singer as good as Taeyeon can only debut as an idol. "
“So just mix it up?”
Sun Enxi seemed to understand a little.
"Yes! The song 'Good Days' makes it very clear."
Yi Haoyan smiled and nodded.
“In terms of image, I’m going for the pure idol route, with long hair, cute clothes, and simple and cute dance moves, creating the vibe of a girl idol.
However, the song is a rare opera-style piece, and it also deliberately highlights the singing skills.
This kind of three-part high note is nothing special for professional singers, but it is rare at the idol level. The special style and singing part highlight the singer's characteristics.
In this way, IU's image positioning is very clear, a cute girl idol singer."
"On the one hand, she can enjoy the explosive popularity of an idol, and on the other hand, she can maintain her identity as a singer and be active on the stage for a long time, without being troubled by the short idol career and high replaceability.
This is the perfect position for her!"
Sun Eun-hee finally understood.
"Is it that good? Then can't idols with good singing skills follow this path? Or singers with good looks can follow this path?"
Bae Joo-hyun also has her own questions.
"In theory, yes, but IU is a singer after all, and it's hard to produce talented singers on an assembly line like idols.
Taeyeon can certainly try, but with Girls' Generation having reached this stage now, her identity as an idol can no longer be changed.
It is not easy for lead singers who debuted as idols to transform themselves, and it is difficult for professional singers to balance dancing, image and age.
So far, I can’t see any other female singers who can go down this path except IU.”
"Are you so optimistic about her? She is from LOEN~"
Sun Enxi pretended to be dissatisfied.
"Haha! Sister, find a way to dig her over here! She is a treasure that is hard to come by."
The boy laughed.
