Volume 3 2011 Chapter 417: Xu Xian's Story (I)
Throughout April, the students who had not yet debuted were busy preparing for the cultural festival performances at school, and the singers were also busy.
On March 29, 2011, 4MINUTE released the first full-length album pre-release song "Heart To Heart". On April 5, the first full-length album "4MINUTES LEFT" was released, and a concert called "UNITED CUBE CONCERT IN BLAZIL" was held at the concert venue "Espaco das Americas" in Sao Paulo. This was also the first time that Korean pop singers performed in South America. The title song "Mirror Mirror" was released.
The Korean Wave has finally crossed the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico and arrived in South America, a beautiful and fertile land. The ability to hold concerts here shows that the export of the Korean Wave has reached a new level.
As expected of CUBE, President Hong Seung-sung is indeed not an ordinary person.
On April 6, 2011, KARA released their third Japanese single "Jet Coaster Love".
On April 7, 2011, Rainbow released their second mini album "So Girl" and returned to the fans' attention. The album's title song is "To Me"; on April 8, Rainbow released the MV of the title song "To Me", which continued the sexy dance style of their previous hit song "A".
After enough trouble, DSP has finally become more pragmatic. After Kara's success in the Japanese market, they have focused on the Japanese market. They will continue to stick to the style of "A" as it is popular. As one of the former top three, they still have some foundation. However, facing the increasingly fierce market competition and the strong rise of YG, I don't know how long DSP can last.
In addition, Girls' Generation's internationalization is also progressing steadily. Unlike Park Jin-young who was eager to let Wonder Girls attack the United States, Girls' Generation's steps are much more steady. First, they entered the Japanese market with BoA and Dongshin paving the way, and then they were eager to enter the Chinese market. Even after the Han Geng incident, SM did not change its long-term strategy of entering China.
After all, it is the only supermarket that is huge, profitable and not so competitive.
On April 23, Girls' Generation came to BJ to hold a Samsung fan meeting.
"Yeah! We're in BJ~ Is there anything fun here?"
Even though they haven't seen each other for a long time, Jessica's unique voice is still highly recognizable. Although video calls cannot be used in BJ, Yi Haoyan knew it was her as soon as he heard it.
"Wait a minute~ Isn't this Xu Xiannu's phone? Why is it you?"
Yi Haoyan saw that it was Xu Xian calling, but when he answered it, he heard Jessica's voice, which made him feel a little strange.
"Ah! What's wrong with me? Can't I compare to the youngest?" This sister's train of thought is sometimes really peculiar. The boy's casual question actually made her angry.
“Haha~”
"Sicaoni is angry!"
"I'm ignored by my die-hard fans, so I'm right to be angry."
"Does she think the maknae is stealing her fans?"
“Do you feel threatened? The youngest member and Hao Yan have been in contact a lot recently, and Xica is nervous~”
All kinds of noises that seemed like whispers but were actually complaints came out from nowhere and completely added fuel to the fire.
"Ah! Lin Yuna! You're dead!"
“Unnie!!”
"Hahaha!"
It was as noisy as usual over there, and it was obvious that Jessica was busy suppressing her sisters.
Although it was a bit of a deliberate complaint, Yoona was not wrong. In the past six months, Xu Xian and Yi Haoyan's contact has obviously become more frequent.
It was Xu Xian who took the initiative.
Ever since she won the grand prize last time, this somewhat old-fashioned young lady has been in contact with Yi Haoyan from time to time, both by phone and text message, mainly to share some of her feelings, experiences and personal opinions. It seems that she really regards the boy as a friend she can talk to.
Not surprising at all.
Seohyun is an outlier among idols. Not only compared with the members of Girls' Generation, but also compared with almost all other known idols, she is special.
This specialness lies in her character and values.
Maybe she was born this way, or maybe it was because of her family education, but Xu Xian has always lived very seriously. She has her own values and code of conduct and firmly lives according to the principles she believes are right. She has not changed even when her sisters complained about her inflexibility and rigidity.
Many people have gone through this stage.
Those concepts that seem to be "correct" from books are actually an ideal perfect state, either black or white.
But the world is actually gray, and the boundaries of many so-called principles are actually very flexible. It is very easy to get hurt if you try to survive in real society according to the concepts in books, and it is difficult for most people to stick to them.
Usually, people become smooth and sophisticated under the polish of reality, and those concepts and clear boundaries that were once considered absolutely correct gradually become blurred, locked deep in the heart, and even slowly forgotten.
But Seohyun didn't.
This characteristic of hers was well protected by SM company in a clever way, and even became a unique color in the group.
The old-fashioned, pure and honest youngest member of Girls’ Generation.
This character magnified Seohyun's strengths and covered up her flaws, becoming a highlight that attracted a lot of fans. It brought obvious benefits to her personally and to Girls' Generation as a whole, and successfully won the love of fans.
And since Girls' Generation is currently at its peak and has become the pillar of the company, SM company will only be more proactive in maintaining and protecting this characteristic of Seohyun, and apart from complaining privately, there will be no real conflicts among the sisters.
So, under the protection of the company and her sisters, she debuted at the age of 16 and has been active in the complex Korean entertainment industry for four years. Now at the age of 20, Xu Xian is an adult. Although she has become more mature in her interactions with others and acts like a senior, she still retains those pure and ideal things in her heart.
This makes Seohyun special.
In addition to her outstanding appearance and figure, her temperament is also becoming more and more refined.
At the same time, the girl gradually felt the difference between herself and others.
Although the members of Girls' Generation are very caring towards her as the youngest member, neither the members nor her other friends can fully understand her when it comes to her values and inner pursuit of certain things.
This made Xu Xian feel confused and a little lonely.
Loneliness in the crowd.
So she began to try to solve this problem in various ways, such as reading, studying, trying to truly integrate into the group, and even appearing in a dating variety show like "We Got Married".
The Sweet Potato couple conducted their final recording of "We Got Married" on March 14, 2011, marking a perfect end to their one year and one month of imaginary marriage.
Jung Yong-hwa is a very good senior, mature, steady, considerate and generous. The filming of the show was very pleasant.
However, they are not the same kind of people.
A certain vague sense of distance and loneliness always exists and cannot be escaped.
All of this seemed to have .
Xu Xian seemed to have found someone similar to herself.
Yi Haoyan's ideas are in tune with hers. His views on love, idols, and especially his views on the truly precious things in life on the day of the awards ceremony are completely consistent with Xu Xian's cognition.
It turns out that I am not alone.
