Korean Entertainment: Perfect Cheating Life

After the specific date for the concert ticket sale was announced, the Third Center where Red Velvet is located began to actively warm up for their return.

July has just begun, and the promotion process for Red Velvet's summer mini album "The Red Summer" has already started. SM will release a member's preview MV every day.

The preview photos of the title song "Red Flavor" present a strong retro style with a strong Hong Kong style, and "The Troubles of Fruit" are broadcast in Korean, Chinese, English, French, Japanese and Chinese.

Whether it is the members' clothing combinations, makeup looks or the overall style of the trailer, this is a very typical, fresh and lively summer music work.

The trailer MV is also in the style of Red Velvet, which carries a meaningful concept. In fact, the inspiration for this MV comes from "The Diary of Anne Frank", which contains a profound meaning against war.

Each member has a corresponding national flag, a concept of war and a concrete fruit, and the decorations on their clothes are taken from the colors of the flag of the country they represent.

The pineapple is Seulgi (yellow), the orange is Wendy (orange), the watermelon is Irene (red), the kiwi is Park Sooyoung (green), and the grape is Kim Ye-lin (purple).

Kim So Min's representative color is white, and the fruit represented in it is a white strawberry - Angel No. 8, which symbolizes the country that maintains a neutral stance and opposes war in the MV.

It was not until July 7 that the previews of the two songs were finally officially released. Only after the previews of the songs were officially released did the music industry really feel that Red Velvet had suddenly returned.

Many groups chose to return this month. Because of Red Velvet's sudden comeback, some groups' comeback dates had to be adjusted, and those that could not be changed had to bite the bullet and continue with their activities.

On the forum, some hot topics sparked heated discussions, most of which were the voices of fans.

[Why is Red Velvet coming back again? Can we give other groups some chances?! ]

[My idol has been debuting for a long time, I really hope he can get the first place, please Red Velvet, please let my oppa go. ]

Of course, this kind of post did not have much practical effect except for attracting ridicule from Love and passers-by fans. The public's attention was completely attracted by the sudden big news.

This eventful July is full of drama.

Not long after the trailer for Red Velvet was released, the Peninsula Police broke a shocking news that shocked the entire KPOP fan circle.

Choi Seung-hyun (TOP), a member of a well-known boy group under YG Entertainment, and his rumored girlfriend Han Seo-hee were arrested on suspicion of supporting separatism.

TOP and Han Seo-hee accused each other, and their dispute caused a sensation in the city.

At the same time, YG President Yang Xianshuo was reported by Han Ruixi, who claimed that he used his trainees to provide pillow business services for bureaucrats, and Yang Xianshuo almost went to jail.

As soon as this incident happened, it immediately caused a huge sensation on the Internet. The image of YG company was greatly damaged, and netizens left messages saying "I sincerely hope that YG will go bankrupt soon."

Having lost its president, YG also lost the ability to suppress scandals for its own artists. TOP's chaotic private life was exposed one after another by fans who had unfollowed him and the media.

Their scandal not only caused YG's external image to plummet, but also made the public's view of the idol industry worse.

Artists and idols who have already debuted are deeply implicated and are questioned by the public as to whether or not this is another TOP.

Just at this time, Red Velvet returned to the music scene. When negative news about them was flying all over the Internet, the information about their return was like the most obvious target and they immediately became the object of everyone's attack.

Many netizens asked Han Seo Hee, "Does this happen to SM as well?"

As a monopoly dealer, Han Ruixi has both power and money. He may have taken too many drugs and his mind is not clear. He dares to say anything to attract attention.

She publicly scolded YG and TOP on Instagram, and also responded to some fans of SM artists who were afraid to ask her.

[Shit, Her Highness the Princess is having fun playing house and protecting the dolls very well. Anyone who dares to attack the artists will be eliminated????]

The reference to "princess" she used was very clear.

There must be only one SM princess. Even though Han Seo-hee deleted her reply shortly after, this sentence was still widely circulated due to screenshots.

Kim So Min and SM Entertainment have not responded to this.

On July 7, SM released the teaser MV for Red Velvet, and then released the teaser videos for NCT's reunion group 6 and the new girl group Fay.

On July 7, all marketing was stopped and all artist portraits on Weibo were changed to black and white.

On July 7, the SM Family Concert officially kicked off.

---

This year, all the artists of the company attended the concert, and the concert was held in Jamsil, with 5 seats full.

Red Beibei had just rushed back from the recording of a variety show. As soon as they arrived at the concert venue, they immediately ran to the waiting room to change into their performance costumes and put on makeup.

They are going to perform the title song "Red Flavor" at the family concert, and everyone is wearing red, blue and white matching clothes.

Kim So-min's long silver hair was combed into two ponytails, and she wore a strawberry-shaped headdress and earrings on her head. The blue, white and red top showed off her slender waist, and the red short skirt on the lower body made her long legs more eye-catching.

After changing into their performance costumes and makeup, the girls from Red Velvet started to greet other artists backstage.

Her eyes met Luo Zaimin at the stage entrance.

NCT is the artist with the least experience in the company, so they will appear earlier.

Luo Zaimin, like other members of the Dream Group, wore a white suit uniform, with black knee pads and gray boots, looking very youthful.

As soon as he saw Kim So-min, Luo Jae-min frowned.

Kim So-min was already thin enough, and in order to help her gain some weight, Luo Jae-min tried every means to prepare various delicious foods for her.

During this period of time, due to the high-intensity schedule, Kim So-min's appetite has become worse and worse, she eats less and less, and the weight she loses is much more than she regains.

She is so thin that she looks really good in front of the camera and in her clothes, showing off her body advantages, but it is also extremely unhealthy.

However, Luo Zaimin just stood quietly in the dream group waiting to go on stage and did not disturb her.

There are really too many people here. In addition to the artists, there are also too many temporary staff.

Kim So Min is surrounded by senior artists who care about her.

People like Taeyeon, Yoona, and Sulli felt sorry for her when they saw how thin she was, because they hadn't seen her for a long time. They chatted with her and asked her to shoot Cha's video together.

NCT is ready to go on stage at any time, and they can't help but get nervous thinking about facing 5 audiences.

Red Velvet and other artists came on stage later and are now chatting happily.

The concert opened with a stage performance by Dream Group and WayV. Luo Zaimin followed the Dream Group out on stage and performed the Dream Group's song "Last First Love".

In fact, Luo Zaimin is not featured in the MV or audio source of this song.

He has been away from the group for a long time, and 7 months is long enough for a generation change in the music industry.

The Dream Group, which has been in the group for a long time and won the first place with "The Last First Love", has attracted a lot of fans, but these newly attracted fans obviously don't know him, nor do they know that he is one of the members who debuted at the beginning.

But after all, this is an SM family concert, and almost all the people who come are fans of the SM family, so the overall atmosphere is very good.

Seeing the handsome boy appear on the stage, fans who were unfamiliar with him also gave him warm applause and cheers.

Compared to Xi Zhenni from the Dream Group, Kim So Min's fan Sunshine actually figured out who this new member is.

"Oh, isn't this the kid who had so many scandals with Somin?"

"It seems so. Didn't he say he was kicked out of the team?"

After the Dream Group's performance ended, the whispers and discussions gradually subsided.

However, messages in various social media group chats are flying everywhere.
