Korean Entertainment: Perfect Cheating Life

Red Velvet's two new songs were released as free music sources, and the music results of the two songs showed extremely explosive performance - breaking various records one after another, reaching 100 million views in the shortest time, and becoming the cheering songs of many organizations against gender discrimination.

The members of Red Velvet spent a few days in the United States for interviews. They returned to the peninsula on April 4 and officially started their book signing event on the 23th.

Every time she returns, Kim So Min posts a lot of beautiful selfies and prints small cards for her fans.

As always, Kim So Min spoke out on various channels and platforms, asking fans not to buy albums for the sake of photo cards and to boost sales.

However, when the signing started, their album sales reached a terrifying 60, which directly brought the sales of the girl group to a huge level. This sales volume is comparable to that of the top boy bands.

Due to her elevated status and Kim So Min's schedule conflicts, Red Velvet can only hold three autograph sessions this time, and they will only last for three short days.

The less you have, the more precious it is.

The price of their autograph session tickets has become increasingly competitive and expensive.

In addition to fans from the country, a large number of overseas fans flew to the peninsula specifically to buy albums and try to attend the signing sessions.

The behavior of the huge fan base led to a certain increase in airfares to and from the peninsula between April 4 and 20.

One day before the signing event, the company staff provided Red Beibei with a list of fans.

The members of Red Velvet found many familiar names on the list.

For Kim So Min, the autograph session is just a part of her daily work, but for those fans who are able to communicate with their idol face to face, the short few minutes of the autograph session are extremely precious.

Kim So-min's photographic memory comes in very handy in this regard. She clearly remembers every fan she has ever met, and when she sees these names, she can think of what happened the last time they met.

Thanks to her excellent memory, she designed different lines of speech and interactive sessions in advance according to each fan's personality traits and chat conversations.

She also provided tea, coffee and hot chocolate to fans and staff in the queue.

Every time Kim So Min is criticized for "not being in line with her character" because of these behaviors, then those who criticized her for "not being active" start to criticize her for being too "fan-fawning."

Kim So-min turned a deaf ear to everything he said.

Fans love her and she gets so much precious affection from them. What's wrong with her being nice to them?

This autograph session is also Kim So Min's first autograph session after her birthday. In order to express her gratitude to the fans, she also placed small gift bags on each seat.

The small and exquisite four-star sponsor gift bag not only contains a photo card of the entire team for this comeback album, but also a gift sponsored by Dior - Dior's most popular lipstick color.

During this autograph session which lasted for three days, every fan received this heartfelt reverse support gift.

At the book signing event, Kim So Min met many of her fans.

Many panda girls learned Korean to try to confuse her.

Fan No. 1: "Aniha Saiyo."

Kim So Min remembered her face, and during the last book signing she said she was talking about the flower-growing station, and she smiled: "Aniha Saiyo."

The station girl spoke Korean very well, and until the two minutes were over, when she reluctantly walked towards Park Soo-young next to her, Kim So-min couldn't help laughing.

"Isn't Unni a flower grower? You speak Korean very well!"

"Hey?!"

Fan No. 1 looked at Kim So Min in shock.

There was also a fan who handed Kim So Min an album page for her to sign, on which was written "I hope Somin is happy every day."

Kim So Min recognized the handwriting on her card and interrogated her on the spot, "Ouni, was it you who gave me the Chrome Hearts necklace in the fan letter?"

Her eyes widened, and she was panicked for a moment after being caught: "Ah..."

Kim So Min: "Thank you, unnie, the necklace is very beautiful, but don't waste it like this next time!"

The fans were educated but happy: "QAQ."

Kim So Min can remember every fan, what they said the last time they met, and she even remembers the contents of some fan letters.

Of course, Kim So-min doesn't read all the letters from fans, after all, there are too many of them. Everyone can understand this, but fans who are seen and remembered will also be particularly happy.

Kim So Min's serious response to fans' details, coupled with her extremely high popularity, made her "pampering fans" a hit again.

Many people spent a lot of money to attend the signing for the second time, and posted their thoughts on the signing on the Internet, expressing how deeply moved they were by Kim So Min.

After all these combined punches, all sunshines were moved but dared not move: people were moved, but their wallets did not dare to move.

——Wow, next time she returns, the price of Red Velvet’s autograph session will definitely be even more expensive…

--

The song "Cupid" still stood firmly at the second place on the B-Chart Hot 100 chart, and on the last day of April, it jumped to the top of the list.

But the good times didn’t last long. It failed to maintain its championship position and soon fell into second place.

The B charts all have such results. In the Peninsula region, the song's position is even more solid, always staying in the first place, with a clear gap between it and the second place.

Due to the strong desire of the people, many music shows that do not require idols to be present still gave them a spot even if Red Velvet did not show up and had no intention of promoting their songs.

Red Velvet won a lot of awards, but it also sparked controversy among fans again.

This time, the conflict between Red Beibei and Rabbit Wass fans has escalated.

While the Red Velvets were holding their autograph sessions, JYP's girl group Rabbit Wass made a strong comeback on the 20th.

The title song "Cheer Up" of Tuwas' new album swept the entire peninsula, and the energetic and easy-to-remember melody won the love of countless male fans.

The song is good, but the result of ranking first is not very good.

After all, their opponent was "Cupid", and the gap between the two was so huge that many first-place awards were taken away by "Cupid".

On online forums, people kept expressing with great regret that Tuwas' new song was born at the wrong time. If we put aside "Cupid", the new song was good enough to win countless first places.

They also lamented ambiguously: It's a pity that "Cheer Up" met "Cupid" and was overshadowed by "Cupid".

There have been more and more comments like this that only bring the opponent into the picture for no reason, and fans of both sides are tired of hearing them and are beginning to rebel.

The fan base of Tuwas, ONCE, is mainly composed of male fans, while the fan base of Red Velvet, Lav, is mainly composed of female fans.

The two new songs recently released by Red Velvet clearly have a strong "feminist" color, and the gender difference is a natural point of conflict between fans of both sides.

All these factors combined have made the relationship between the fans of both sides increasingly tense, gradually developing to the point where they are incompatible.

This situation is undoubtedly most obvious in the Peninsula region. In recent years, gender antagonism has been on the rise on the Peninsula, and conflicts have led to the point where the relationship between fans of both sides has reached a breaking point.

But ONCE still has some intelligence. Even when they were having a verbal battle, they were very cautious. They only dared to stare at the group and curse, not daring to mention Kim So Min at all.

This famous princess nim now has 55 million followers on Instagram and has too many fans.

They would also be afraid that if they attacked Kim So-min, the consequences would be disastrous.

The conflicts between fans are getting more and more intense. However, fans fighting against fans has no impact on the relationship between idols.

Tuwasi often meets Red Beibei at events. Unlike what fans imagine, there is not much friction between them and the two groups get along quite well.

As female members of Tuwas, they naturally resonate with songs that speak for women.

However, Tuwas’ style is full of vitality and mainly attracts male fans.

They are unable to express their stance publicly, as doing so would be devastating to their careers, and would mean giving up on their careers and the male fans who support them.

Whether it is the company's regulations or their own sober considerations, Tuwas members cannot openly stand up and shout for women's rights.

Instead, they should be careful not to mention these things to avoid causing trouble for themselves and the group.

But girls also have their own little stubbornness.

Tuwasi and the Red Babies hugged each other intimately, took many photos together, and posted them on the Internet.

The girls in the photos had super sweet smiles and their actions were so intimate that fans of both sides stopped arguing and instead made envious comments under the photos.

Love: "I also want to be like Naren from Rabbit Waste, hugging Somin on the left and Yeri on the right..."

ONCE: "Nayeon, please close your buck teeth. Are you so happy taking a photo with your favorite Somin and Yeri?"

Passerby: "Oh yeah, Twice's Naryeon said when she was a trainee that she liked watching Somin's movies. She's a fan of Somin."

Sunshine is a fan of only one girl. As long as the fight between group fans does not involve Kim So Min, they will not get involved. After watching the show for a long time, they suddenly got a few photos of their daughter with other people. After looking at them one by one, they all turned into jealous people.

"I feel like only if I become an idol or an actor can I have the chance to pinch my daughter's cheeks..."

There is a reason why many kids who chase stars become idols themselves.

If you want to get a chance to sign autographs for an idol of Kim So Min’s level, you either have to be rich or have great luck.

Apart from the lucky ones, ordinary people have to buy albums worth at least 3 to 4 RMB to have a chance to win a signing spot. After spending such a huge amount of money, they can only get a few minutes of conversation at the signing event.

But if I could become Kim So Min's colleague... If I had the chance, I could interact closely with Kim So Min backstage, take photos together, learn her latest songs and dances - I could even hug her and pinch her face.

Thinking about the treatment of SM artists and Tuwas, sunshine couldn't help but feel jealous.

“Even if Rabbit Wasnaren is a fan, I am a fan too?

I am the real sunshine, I also want to hug my daughter's waist and pinch her cheeks...

Is it too late for me to change careers now? "
