Korean Entertainment: Perfect Cheating Life

7am.

After Kim So Min woke up, her body automatically got out of bed and did Pilates exercises before she even opened her eyes.

She didn't open her eyes until the alarm rang at 7:30, then she turned on her phone to check the messages.

When she opened Kakao, she received messages from Mark and other 127 brothers, but her attention was completely focused on Mark's words "Nuna, I have no confidence."

It was the first time that Kim So-min saw Mark say such discouraging words.

Oh my God, what happened to her cash cow cub!

The picture Mark sent was a cracked picture and was not sent.

She sighed.

I guess Mark used SM’s website when he sent the message.

The company's network is terrible. She will use it for one more year. When the company moves to a new building next year, she will definitely replace all the broken networks.

Kim So-min didn't know what happened to Mark. She saw that Mark sent the message at three in the morning, which made her a little nervous.

Although Mark is young (five months younger than her), he has a strong spiritual world and always acts steadily.

Sending messages at this time, are you going to be as anxious as Sister Bae Joo-hyun and lose sleep?

Kim So-min quickly comforted the child.

"Why don't you have confidence? Mark is the strongest rapper in our SM company, how can he not have confidence?"

Mark had been waiting for the news for a long time. He re-sent a few screenshots of trending searches and also posted NCT127's makeup photos.

This time, he used his own data and the pictures were sent very quickly.

Kim So Min first took a rough look at the first few screenshots of hot search comments and realized that this was another fan conflict.

Her fans have been causing a lot of trouble.

Among those who support her under the trending searches, some are genuinely trying to protect her, while others are just trying to take advantage of the situation and stir up trouble.

However, even she cannot fully control this kind of thing because the fan structure is too complicated.

For an actress of her level, her fan base is huge, so it is inevitable that she will attract a lot of "celebrity fans".

As the name suggests, celebrity fans refer to fans of the most popular celebrities.

They are not fans of the people, but take advantage of the opportunity of their idols to drag down other people, and if they become unpopular, they will move on to support the next one.

They don’t care whether their idols are dead or alive, and they don’t care if their idols are scolded. What they care about is whether the achievements and reputation of the fashion item’s owner are enough for them to scold others.

The trending search included the NCT team name and the name of the title song.

Kim So-min had no doubt that the company was behind the trending searches.

After all, SM likes to use the traditional black-and-red marketing.

How come Mark has lost his confidence after being criticized by others for just a few words?

Were you provoked by the comments of some celebrity fans?

Mark and 127 will definitely become popular after their debut.

She frowned and prepared a bunch of words to comfort Mark, but the next second she froze when she saw the 127 picture sent by Mark.

The makeup photos can tell a lot.

She immediately understood what Mark meant, closed her eyes and remained silent.

Not to mention Mark, she doesn't have the confidence to wear this style.

The captain of NCT 127 is Lee Tae-young, and the debut members are Ji Han-sol, Moon Tae-il, Jung Jaehyun, Nakamoto Yuta, Dong Si-jung, Kim Do-young, Seo Young-ho, and Kim Jung-woo.

Together with the younger brothers Mark and Kaichan, they form a dream team.

Kim So-min knew how good-looking those brothers were. Not only were they talented, but they also looked handsome in their own ways.

It had only been a few days since we last met, and the people in the final photos looked completely different from their original appearances.

She could understand that the styling team wanted to create a strong visual impact, but some of the brothers’ makeup was indeed a bit too “avant-garde”.

Mark is still young, and we can't leave any psychological trauma on him.

She replied to Mark: "I'll go ask."

She leaned against the wall, keeping her back and neck straight to maintain her posture, while sending a message to teacher Li Xiuman to ask him about the makeup problem.

Teacher Li Xiuman also replied immediately.

“This is the NEO style. NCT will create a style that will surprise the market.”

When talking about NEO, he started talking excitedly.

"NCT will be a groundbreaking boy group, starting with NCT127 and ushering in a new era."

Lee Soo Man has always wanted to form a large graduation group since SJ, and NCT is the final product of this idea.

Lee Soo-man, whose wish has been fulfilled, has been walking with a breeze recently. Not only has he rekindled his passion for his career, he is very optimistic about this boy band and personally plans the future development plan of NCT.

He sent a long string of voice messages, talking more and more, impatiently introducing NCT's structural plan to Kim So Min.

Epoch-making...

It sounds just as childish as EXO's superpowers.

A man is a boy until he dies, but Teacher Li Xiuman is different. He is a middle school boy until he dies.

Kim So-min: “Yeah, yeah.”

She told the teacher that she was optimistic about this mechanism, but in her heart she was more convinced that this mechanism would not last long.

SJ has compromised, Red Beibei's plan to add more members has also been compromised, so let's just use our own judgment on NCT's mechanism.

The teacher is not young anymore, and it is not easy for him to finally succeed after so many years. It would be nice to let him be happy for a while.

Moreover, if such a large group is not formed, so many trainees in their company will never have another chance to debut.

"Teacher Xiuman, I think the makeup and styling can be changed appropriately, and NEO should also be moderate, otherwise it will discourage many fans."

Although he knew that Kim So Min was here to lobby for 127, Lee Soo Man always took her suggestions seriously. He turned on his computer and re-watched the debut photos of 127.

After watching for a while, he thought, it seems that there is indeed a bit...

He then said to Kim So Min, "I'll ask the planning team to revise it. NEO's mechanism makes it difficult for fans to get into the game, so there really can't be any mistakes on the debut stage."

Kim So-min: "Thank you, Mr. Soo-man."

Li Xiuman: "It's those guys from 127 who should thank you and me."

Kim So Min didn't care that her original intention was seen through by Teacher Soo Man. She smiled and sent a cute emoticon to get away with it, and then told Mark that the makeup problem was solved.

Mark: “Thank you very much, Nuna!”

Cody posted a new statement in the 127 planning group: "Personal makeup will be modified appropriately, and some group photos will be re-shot."

Mark was so excited that he slapped his thigh.

The brothers sitting around him also applauded and cheered.

The excitement in Practice Room 127 was like New Year’s Eve, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

Haechan peeked out from behind the couch, “Is this true!?”

Yuta Nakamoto spoke in his native language: "Somin-chan is so cool!"

Li Tairong: "I said, Somin can't resist his brother's spoiled behavior."

Dong Sicheng’s Korean is not very good yet, so he laughed along with everyone.

Jin Zhaomin told them: "No need to thank me, let the brothers who gave you advice treat me to a meal."

Mark looked at Kim So-min's reply and hesitated: "I can see that it was my brothers who asked me to post it..."

Jin Jungwoo shook his head: "Of course you can tell, we posted it together."

Ji Han-ryul noticed Kim So-min's request and said, "Of course I will treat her to a meal. What does she want to eat?"

Jung Jaehyun: "Sad, Somin only replied to Mark."

Jin Daoying's words are always sharp, killing 3,000 people and hurting himself 800: "I can't help it, there are too many brothers and sisters, of course they are not precious."

If Kim So-min were present, she would definitely agree with what he said.

In the end, Kim So Min designated a location, and Red Velvet and 127 went to eat hotpot together.

Both teams had quite a lot to eat, luckily our brother line was rich enough.

The trainees of the new generation are no longer as poor as the second and third generation idols.

At the end of ICE's promotion period, almost all the first places were taken by EXO.

Fortunately, EXO’s promotion period didn’t last long. They have the dignity of a top boy band and cannot always occupy the top spot.

After the promotion, they went abroad to record a daily travel variety show co-produced by SM and Kakao.

It’s not entirely true to say that it’s a variety show. The two-month tour period is mainly for the artists to travel at their own expense so that they can have a vacation.

There will just be staff accompanying them, and they will edit the materials and send them to Bubble's fans.

In mid-May, Min Yoon-gi's group won first place, Kim So-min congratulated him, and the two siblings went out for dinner together.

His group came from a small company and had a hard time after their debut. It was not easy for them to get five first places among the competition from EXO and Red Velvet.

BTS is on a good track and has the potential to become a big hit.

This guy had barely eaten a few bites of his meal, and when he was mentioned, he cried even more miserably than Bae Joo-hyun who got off the stage.

Kim So-min felt a little guilty, but not much.

During the return period, all her acquaintances bumped into each other, and she couldn't do anything...

Finally, she thought for a long time and said, "Why don't we discuss the time of return next time? There's no point in bumping into each other."

"Let me just say first, we're returning this September."

He had fair skin and his eyes were red after crying, and he was speechless because of her attitude.

Jin Zhaomin's self-righteous look made him laugh: "Why, do you really think we can't beat you in promoting songs?"

Kim So Min: "You think too much. I just think the fans are having a hard time."

Min Yunqi could see that she was being stubborn.

Kim So-min is confident enough, but not arrogant.

Are you kidding? She is an "idol" who doesn't sell her girlfriend persona. She must be crazy to want to compete with a rising boy band.

The boy band’s fans all have mines at home, and moving albums is harder than moving bricks.

Two weeks before the end of the promotion, Red Velvet were busy. They had to hold an album signing event and start preparing for their first full-length album "The Red" in September.

When Kim So-min saw the kids from the Dream Group again, she found that all the brothers were wearing braces.

The company is very concerned about the children, and wearing braces is also to ensure the straightness of the children's teeth as they grow.

After all, in this technological age, appropriate adjustments are necessary.

This, like medical beauty and hyaluronic acid injections, is considered the most basic daily routine for entertainers in the entertainment industry.

Kim So Min has worn braces since she was a child, but not for long, and her teeth were straight enough that she didn’t have to worry about these issues.

When she and Kim Ye-lin arrived at the company's recording studio, several younger brothers from the Dream Group were recording the variety show "Mickey Club".

Mickey Club is a youth variety show created by Disney. SM purchased the copyright and produced it into a rookies variety show in Korea.

Leeteuk served as the host and recorded the show with several SM rookies who had been publicly revealed.

The male trainees are Mark, Dinu, Haechan, Na Jaemin, and Park Jisung;

Female trainees Lami, Gao En, Hina, and Herin.

The time is tight and the task is heavy. They need to record the program and release it before NCT 127 debuts to warm up for the debut of Mark and Haechan.

Today is the first day of their recording program.

Kim Ye-lin and Kim So-min quietly entered the recording site.

Kim Ye-lin wanted to cheer for the female rookies, and Kim So-min came along because Leeteuk wanted to ask her something.

In fact, the company's original plan was to have Kim Ye-lin and several female rookies form a pure girl group and debut.

Kim Ye-lin also trained with several female rookies before, and they had a good relationship.

A few days before joining Red Velvet, Kim Ye-rin was appointed as the internal leader and led the female rookies on the SM performance stage to give a speech: "We must work hard to become an idol group as outstanding as Red Velvet."

No one expected that just two days after the conversation, Kim Ye-lin joined Red Velvet.

However, why do people say that this child is popular? He has been able to speak since he was young and is really likable.

Most people can't say that they have become Red Velvet. At least Kim So Min can't say it because she has such a good relationship with her sisters.

——At that time, Red Velvet was being blackened by the entire Internet.
