Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 25 Return to South Korea

Chapter 25 Return to South Korea
The day after the 1V1 battle competition, Shen Juan followed the team on an international flight to Seoul.

Then, with the reminder of my assistant, I saw some hot news and hot search terms about myself.

[Produce 101 is coming to an end, popular trainee Shen Juan who withdrew from the competition for some reason is expected to attend the finals]

[Storm is coming! Insiders revealed: Shen Juan, who was hailed as the "uncrowned king" by fans in the second season of the national variety show "Produce 101", will return to South Korea in the near future]

[Produce 101 trainee Shen Juan updated his Instagram late at night: Thank you so much, but even so, I still have to move to the other side of the event horizon. ]

[The performers for the second season commemorative concert of "Produce 101" have been confirmed. The top 35 trainees will appear on stage, and the popular contestant Shen Juan is not on the list]

However, these press releases were not purchased by the company.

Although Lehua has been vigorously developing its South Korean business in recent years, it has even recruited a group of native South Korean executives to train artists and trainees in South Korea.

However, Shen Juan himself has no intention of developing in South Korea for the time being. Le Hua also believes that keeping Shen Juan in the domestic entertainment industry can maximize benefits, so naturally he will not waste extra resources on things that deviate from the development plan.

In fact, it is mainly the "Produce 101" program team and Shen Juan's fans who stayed in South Korea who are making the efforts.

Admittedly, the popular contestant Shen Juan, who reaped most of the show's traffic bonus, suddenly announced his withdrawal from the competition, which did anger the show's producers and some TV station executives.

They even wanted to unilaterally ban and suppress Le Hua for a period of time, using the method of killing the chicken to scare the monkey to warn other South Korean companies that intended to imitate Le Hua's behavior.

But in the end, it came to nothing.

The reason is simple and mindless.

Shen Juan’s fans are really good at fighting.

He is the largest among the contestants.

Even if all overseas votes were cleared, he would still be able to take the C position in the second ranking announcement ceremony.

Coupled with the fact that "he had just got the C position but was forced to withdraw for unknown reasons", the fans were tortured by the news that his fighting power and enthusiasm soared by more than one level.

During this period, Shen Juan's fans, who have spontaneously formed a group for their idol, can be said to be running rampant in the South Korean fan circle.

Not only are they numerous and cohesive, they also have extremely bad tempers. They will kill anyone who stands in their way, and even kick a passing dog if they don't like it.

Therefore, in order to prevent the reputation of this program that is expected to become an evergreen program and continue to be produced year after year from being damaged and affecting subsequent profits, Mnet, the organizer of Produce 101, had to swallow this loss in silence and temporarily bury their disgust and resentment towards Le Hua and Shen Juan, waiting for the right time to settle accounts.

As for now?

It is better to build momentum for the finals. The practical benefits that can be seen at the moment are the most important.

"After today, we probably won't see each other for a long time. I don't know how long they can maintain their enthusiasm." Shen Juan, who knows that everything is hard-earned, is accustomed to examining his own development with a pessimistic attitude and trying to figure out the mentality of these fans who seemed to have appeared out of thin air to him.

In fact, there is also a chain of contempt in the fan circle. The group of fans who follow idols in talent shows are at the bottom.

This is not only because idols, especially idols from talent shows, have a very low status in the entertainment industry, but also because this strange group of show fans can be so crazy and insane at times that they develop to the point where everyone wants them to be beaten.

Idols often rely on popularity to sustain their lives and extend their shelf life, and the main way for them to gain exposure and maintain popularity is to perform on stage. However, the number of stages is limited after all, and it is impossible for them to be on stage all the time.

Especially in the domestic entertainment industry where there is no soil for idols to survive.

So when idols have no stage to perform and are forced to stay at home and do nothing, how can they gain popularity?
The answer is that fans rely on quarrels and fights on major forums, adding fuel to the fire and dragging down others, using extreme methods that ruin their popularity among passers-by in order to forcibly attract attention to their idols.

Although the consequence of doing so is that the idol’s popularity will collapse and it will be difficult to attract new fans, but at least the original fans will be retained, right?

The saying that debut is the peak is not false.

As fans who are outside the game, they can only try to slow down the decline of their idols, but they cannot fight against the natural law of "birth, aging, illness and death". Fortunately, after choosing to withdraw from the competition, Shen Juan has stopped developing on this idol path that is destined to end.

Turn off the phone and look out the window. The pure blue sky and endless white clouds come into view. The sunlight shines through the thick clouds, outlining the clouds with golden edges. Beams of golden light fall from the sky. At this moment, the light seems to have a concrete shape.

Looking at the beautiful scenery that is rarely seen on the surface of the earth on ordinary days, Shen Juan's mood immediately improved a lot.

The scenery you see will naturally be different at different altitudes, so just focus more on the present.

Future problems and future troubles will be solved by the more mature and outstanding self in the future.

After a short two-hour flight, Shen Juan landed at Incheon International Airport around two o'clock in the afternoon.

At the airport pick-up area, after successfully meeting up with the staff specially sent by the PD101 program team to pick them up, Shen Juan and his group got on the car arranged by the program team and headed directly to the venue for tonight's final group formation night.

However, when getting off the car and preparing to enter the venue, Shen Juan was attracted by two girls holding their cheering signs. So he ignored the staff's dissuasion, left the crowd of team members, and walked over there.

Shen Juan is very grateful to these fans who silently support him without asking for anything in return in a foreign country.

Even though they have been attacking many famous idols on the Korean Internet in the name of standing up for themselves and have offended many fan groups, no matter what, their starting point is for the good of the idols, so it is impossible for him to hate or dislike them for this reason.

"Have you been standing here for a long time?"

Pulling down the mask, Shen Juan switched to Korean and took the initiative to greet the two girls who looked a little confused.

Song Yuqi swallowed blankly. It was the first time she saw a top handsome guy and she was speechless for a moment.

This was somewhat beyond her previous psychological expectations.

The reason why she appeared here was just because she was forced by her colleague from Thailand in the same company to come here to support the idol she picked.

She is actually not a fan of Shen Juan.

but now?
The underage girl was young and inexperienced. When she saw Shen Juan walking towards her despite others' dissuasion, she was immediately captivated.

Song Yuqi felt that in her spare time in the future, she might be able to take some time to pay attention to this handsome idol who is very enthusiastic about his fans.

"Actually, I didn't stand there for very long, probably just over an hour." The true fan friend next to him was the first to come to his senses and responded to his idol with a smile.

"That's been a long time." Shen Juan smiled warmly: "Thank you for voting for me during this period of time."

"Oh, it's okay, Oppa, I don't feel tired at all!" Song Yuqi replied before her companions.

But perhaps because he hadn't completely calmed down yet, he actually used Korean to communicate with his fellow countryman.

This caused dissatisfaction among friends in the same industry. You are not a fan of Shen Juan, and you didn't vote for him or collect data to fight against black fans and control comments online, so of course you don't feel tired!
And, tomboy, when did you start calling people oppa in a sissy way like South Korean girls?

Something's wrong!
"Anyway, I still want to thank you for your support and love for me. Then. Do you want to take a photo with me?"

Seeing that the curious passers-by were about to come over to find out what was going on, Shen Juan decided to leave.

"Oh, is it okay? Of course! Of course!" Song Yuqi took the lead and handed over the phone before her friend.

So two Chinese and a Thai left a "precious" photo in an unknown corner of South Korea.

If this is dug up by fans and posted online in the future, it might become a topic of discussion of some magnitude.
