Korean Entertainment: Perfect Cheating Life

Even though she fulfilled her dream and finally made her debut, Bae Joo-hyun did not have a good time throughout 2014.

The bad reviews and lack of success when she first debuted did not defeat her - it doesn’t matter, TVXQ had toxic black fans; Girls’ Generation had the Black Ocean; EXO didn’t have popularity at the beginning either.

The company’s predecessors were all like this when they first debuted. They relied on their own strength to change everyone’s opinions and achieved their current success and status.

Although they know that comparing one's misery to another is useless, Bae Joo-hyun and several members of Red Velvet can only comfort themselves by comparing their misery to another.

The members of Red Velvet encouraged each other and prepared and performed their comeback song "be natural" very carefully. They hope to change the bad impression of haters and the public through this song.

But the cruel reality soon woke them up.

The result of not even making it onto the "be natural" chart mocked their futile efforts. Some girl groups from small companies even performed much better than them.

Apart from a small number of fans, it seems that no one pays attention to their abilities and performances.

Because the sound of the new song is so bad, there are more curses and ridicules on the Internet.

All four members are introverted. They finally got on "Weekly Idol" and recorded the show seriously with trepidation, but after it was aired, they were still criticized.

These are the advantages and disadvantages of coming from a large company.

They became famous because they came from big companies; they became unpopular because they are bad.

Regardless of whether they reach the top or not, people will always find reasons to scold them, not to mention that they are all haters.

People on the internet are criticizing them for having good resources, saying that SM gave all the resources to them and that they are the royal girl group.

But in fact, the company itself was busy changing the 3.0 system and dealing with a lot of messes, and it didn't invest too many resources in them. The girls had no resources except the stage for their performances.

The early days after debut were not easy, and at the end of 14, Red Velvet was struggling even more.

There are so many award ceremonies, big and small, but Red Velvet was nominated but couldn't win any awards, and those who were not nominated were just embarrassed to get a performance stage and use the stage to make their presence felt in front of the audience.

After finally getting through the New Year, Red Velvet's 2015 started with the familiar bad reviews from haters.

After spending nearly a year under the scolding, as the captain, Bae Joo-hyun's mentality gradually became discouraged, and she gradually began to doubt whether it was her own problem.

The team is in such a mess and has been scolded so much online. Are they really that bad?

——But, the four of them have persisted in SM for many years, and were praised by their teachers and Lee Soo Man, and were selected to debut among many trainees based on their own abilities.

Bae Joo-hyun has been an all-A trainee for five consecutive years and is the only captain elected unanimously by the planning team.

Obviously the trainees and teachers all said she was very good...

When she first debuted, Bae Joo-hyun went online to read the comments about herself with great anticipation. Soon, she was so scared by the screen full of negative comments that she turned off her computer.

Since then, she didn't dare to go online to read comments about herself for a long time, and could only understand the current situation from the ugly faces of her teammates and staff.

The company also doesn't allow them to read online reviews because reading them will make them more anxious.

Due to the image creation and makeup of the group's first single, Red Velvet was called the Parrot Group and the Quadruplets by their haters. Haters gave them all kinds of malicious and ugly names.

Bae Joo-hyun, the team leader, and Seul-gi, who was rumored to have an affair with her senior, were the two who received the most criticism.

"The captain was born in 91? So funny. Fortunately, my aunt doesn't need to serve in the military."

"Such heavy makeup, so vulgar, SM girl groups have never had such heavy makeup."

"The Parrot Group is disbanded!"

"Let's disperse!"

"SM girl groups and boy groups have been in trouble one after another just to allow them to debut!"

"The ugly woman named Seulgi is the one who seduced my Baekhyun oppa?"

"Joy, a relative of Lee Soo Man, is in this group. You guys deserve to be in such a mess because you relied on Lee Soo Man to steal the resources of your seniors."

"Function won't return because of you, you disgusting royal girl group."

If you open the comments about Red Velvet, you will find all kinds of disgusting words.

Bae Joo-hyun was actually very angry about being insulted and slandered without any basis.

The debut makeup and styling were clearly planned by the planning team.

How can these juniors who have just debuted control whether their seniors will return or not?

The rumors about Seulgi are fabricated, they are not familiar with EXO at all.

However, Bae Joo-hyun cannot come forward to defend herself against the haters. Once she responds, her idol career will be completely ruined.

After the anger, Bae Joo-hyun was left with only grievance and confusion.

Bae Joo-hyun was already older than other idols when she debuted. She worked hard for five years and faced so much ridicule and sarcasm from fellow trainees before finally getting her debut, but she faced such a bleak situation.

She can actually endure it, she is very persevering.

You see, everyone called her "Auntie", but she worked so hard in the company for so long, and finally made it to the debut position and made her debut successfully, didn't she?

Bae Joo-hyun forced herself to comfort herself: They can do it, they also have fans, they will definitely be able to do it.

She comforted herself for a long time and finally calmed down. However, after receiving a call from her mother in the practice room, she couldn't help but break down.

"Our most beautiful, gentle and kind Joo Hyun in the world, have you eaten well? Are you happy recently?"

As soon as her mother opened her mouth gently, Bae Joo-hyun's voice choked in her throat.

She managed to chat with her mother for a while, but after hanging up the phone, she couldn't hold back her tears and burst into tears in a corner where no one was around.

She knew that the disgusting comments on the Internet were seen by the people closest to her.

Bae Joo-hyun didn't want her mother to see this. Her mother loved her very much, and seeing these comments would probably make her even sadder than she was.

The sound of her mother carefully protecting her made Bae Joo-hyun feel even more sorry for her mother.

After she had finally vented her sadness and was sniffing her nose in an ungraceful manner, a hand with delicate skin and slender fingers suddenly stretched out in front of her, holding a white tissue.

She looked up along her hand and what came into view was Kim So Min's beautiful face.

“Thank you Somin…”

Bae Joo-hyun felt a little embarrassed, ashamed to let her sister see such an embarrassing scene.

"Ouni, I have finished shooting the other materials."

Kim So-min sat down next to her and pointed his hand at a small branch.

"If we shoot one more group material, I can debut with you guys."

"We have chosen our new song, it's called 'Ice Cream Cake'."

"I listened to it secretly. It's very nice."

"We're going to have to practice hard in the days ahead, unnie, let's work hard together!"

Bae Joo Hyun wiped her tears and said, "Thank you."

"I should be the one to thank you! If you didn't want me, I wouldn't be able to debut."

Pei Zhuxuan pushed her in annoyance, but the force was very light: "It's not like you to be so humble, and it's weird."

"No way."

The two chatted casually for a while, and Bae Joo-hyun seemed to be in a better mood.

“Do we really have hope…”

She lowered her head and suddenly whispered carefully, "What if the next album is still like this?"

She no longer has any confidence.

"Of course we will be famous, and we will get the first place in all the music promotion channels."

Kim So Min was full of confidence, "Ouni, please believe me. I have never known what 'failure' means since I was a child!"

She didn't hear a reply, so she turned her head and saw Bae Joo-hyun with red eyes crying silently again.

The sister, with no makeup on, cried in front of her without any image, hugged her and kept saying "thank you".

“Ouni, you can save this sentence and say it to your fans when you become the No.1.”

Kim So Min thought about the quality of the new song and comforted her in this way.
