Korean Entertainment: Perfect Cheating Life

Red Beibei received many invitations to perform at school anniversaries.

They participate in the school anniversary performance, and the school needs to pay an appearance fee. This fee is actually included in the tuition paid by each student each year, which means that the tuition already includes part of the school anniversary expenses.

The tuition and accommodation fees of colleges and universities on the peninsula are quite expensive. Some schools will require them to pay an additional ticket fee, but in most cases, only outsiders need to buy tickets when visiting.

For Peninsula College students, being able to watch artist performances live is undoubtedly one of their favorite college benefits.

Every May, students will compare with each other on social platforms to see which popular entertainment figures their school will invite to attend the school anniversary.

Since inviting artists needs to be recognized by the students, many times the artists invited by the school are selected by students through voting.

Ever since Red Velvet's "ICE" became a hit last year, the name of the Red Velvet group has always been at the top of the student voting list. Unfortunately for the students, SM Entertainment has never agreed to the school's invitation.

Other idol groups under SM Entertainment also ranked among the top in the students' vote. However, due to schedule issues, EXO was not present at this year's school anniversary.

Although several other SM groups participated in the school celebration, they felt a little regretful because of the absence of several members who went to shoot a variety show.

This year, various major schools offered Red Beibei an appearance fee of 30 RMB, which is the highest appearance fee among all artists.

This price is indeed very expensive, and the Red Velvets did not want to ruin their reputation for the sake of the money, so at the Red Velvets' active suggestion, their attendance fee was lowered to 15.

Among the artists participating in the school anniversary celebration, the appearance fee of 15 is not high.

Moreover, this year Red Velvet's popularity has exploded around the world, and due to scheduling conflicts, they are unable to perform in all schools.

The focus of college celebrations is almost entirely on the question of "which celebrities will attend", and there are always hot topics such as "XX university celebration lineup" on social networking services.

The school that successfully invited Red Beibei naturally attracted a lot of attention. As long as Red Beibei's name was there, the students felt that they had won face and were proud of themselves.

What surprised everyone most during this school anniversary celebration was the response of Seoul National University.

As the highest institution of learning on the peninsula, Seoul National University has a kind of steady reserve. Its anniversary activities have always focused on academic research and cultural heritage rather than just using performances as gimmicks.

Students who can stand out from the fierce competition and be admitted to Seoul University usually have a superior family background and outstanding academic performance, and the vast majority of this elite class are not star-chasers.

Many people hold the same view as the students of Seoul National University - it is indeed difficult to evaluate the scene of a group of idols whose average education level is only junior high school level, or who may not even have graduated from junior high school and have empty heads, performing at the solemn school anniversary celebration of Seoul National University.

Seoul University has invited popular idol groups several times before, spending a lot of money, but the results were often negative.

However, this time, when the school announced that it had invited the most popular new generation girl group Red Velvet to participate in the school anniversary celebration, just after the news was released, it immediately received unanimous praise from students on the "Seoul University Free Message Board".

[Red Velvet is a top artist, but the appearance fee they charged was half of what the school offered. They said that for events like university anniversary celebrations, they would rather share the joy of the performance with the students on site, and do not want their appearance fees to become a heavy burden on the students.

As for Seoul National University, they should invite a kind and talented group like Red Velvet that makes the nation proud.

I sincerely thank the school. I feel extremely proud to be a member of Seoul National University! 】

This message received a lot of likes and support from netizens, becoming the best message on the message board.

The voices of students on the Seoul University message board spread online, sparking heated discussions and making everyone look forward to Red Velvet's performance.

On May 5, the school anniversary performance that everyone had been looking forward to finally kicked off. From that day on, for a long period of time, Red Beibei was either on the stage or on the way to work.

Red Velvet's first performance was at Seoul National University. After performing their hit songs such as "Cupid" and "ICE" and receiving huge cheers from the audience, they took a break for a few minutes.

Captain Bae Joo-hyun warmed up the stage and followed the process of CUE members introducing themselves.

Bae Joo Hyun: "We have only held book signings. This is the first time that Red Velvet has come to a university to perform at the school anniversary. Friends at Seoul National University may not know much about Red Velvet."

The huge roar from the audience was all puzzled: "Huh?"

Seeing that everyone's reaction was questioning, Bae Joo Hyun immediately made amends: "Ani, it's just what I said."

Kim So-min and Kim Ye-lin couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After the other members were introduced, when it was Kim So Min's turn to go on stage, the venue instantly became lively.

Kim So Min looked around, smiled at the enthusiastic audience, and bowed politely: "Hello everyone, I'm Somin."

"It is a great honor for Red Baby to have the opportunity to stand on the stage of the anniversary celebration of this historic Seoul National University."

When she thought of Kim Min-soo, her smile became more sincere: "My father was also a student at Seoul National University, so I feel very happy to be able to perform here today."

This is the first time Kim So Min has publicly mentioned information about her family, and her fans were particularly surprised.

As the videos recorded by the audience spread, the topic of "Somin's father graduated from Seoul National University" quietly became a hot topic.

During the school anniversary period, performances were held one after another, and Red Baby was continuously transferred between major colleges and universities.

The stage for the Ewha Womans University anniversary celebration was in the auditorium, and there were so many people that the auditorium was almost packed.

——"Don't be afraid, my sister is here."

This slogan was a march slogan jointly initiated by senior students of Ewha University, aimed at supporting those junior students who were suppressed by the school for opposing the "backdoor admission" policy.

Korean women have been oppressed by gender discrimination for too long, and once they start to resist, they have a strong sense of femininity.

Red Velvet’s popularity was already high, and it was even more incredible at Ewha Womans University, where women’s awareness is the strongest.

When Kim So Min sang the two songs "Be yourself" and "Be a lady, them say", all the girls in the audience sang along loudly.

When the shouts of "NO" were heard five times in a row, many girls were so excited that their eyes were filled with tears and their voices were hoarse.

The performance facilities of the school anniversary stage were ordinary. The girls' high-pitched voices easily crushed the volume of the Red Babes. The power and determination that burst out of their voices made Kim So-min give them a thumbs up with sparkling eyes.

This school celebration is also Kim So-min's favorite one.

After the performance was over, Kim So-min reluctantly left Ewha University, and they hurriedly took a bus to the next performance venue - Kyung Hee University.

Kyung Hee University is located near the mountains and has always been a popular university for school anniversary performances. The security measures are also quite strict. Such school anniversary activities usually do not sell tickets to the public, but admission is based on student ID cards.

Many people could not enter because they did not have student ID cards, so they chose to climb the mountain and watch Red Velvet's performance from afar.

In order to see their idol up close, students and people from other schools lined up in the early morning.

When Red Beibei arrived at the scene, the open-air venue was already crowded with people, with the number of spectators reaching at least tens of thousands.

Under such strict security conditions, there are still so many audiences coming to watch, which is enough to prove how popular Red Velvet is nowadays.

Red Velvet was performing on the stage and the fans below were screaming so loudly that it drowned out the sound from the speakers.

Because of the distance and number of people at the scene, the audience's cheers sounded very layered. Compared to a school anniversary celebration, this school anniversary performance was more like an open-air concert.

The audience's enthusiasm infected Red Beibei and also became their source of motivation, making the Red Beibei girls' fatigue from running around in various performance venues for several days disappear.

At least on stage, they sang and danced more happily.

Hot post: "Red Velvet performed live for several consecutive days during the school celebration, and her superb performance caused heated discussions"

I am at Seoul National University. The school anniversary performance was so crowded that there were no seats and we had to stand. I didn't want to go at first, but Red Velvet was coming this year, so I waited in line for a long time and got the ticket.

There were really too many people... and the noise was extremely loud. I'm actually not used to such a noisy environment, but I endured it for Red Beibei.

Fortunately, Red Baby lived up to the time and energy I wasted.

Several girls today were wearing youthful campus style pants suits. The beauties appeared one after another, which made my eyes brighten again and again.

When it was Irene and Somin’s big screen, the whole audience screamed.

Somin is so beautiful that I am speechless. Today, the beauty is still in good shape and her beauty has reached a new height.

--Princess_Somin’s website has released new straight shots and amazing pictures. Listen to me and go check them out!

B station guides [HD 2K Seoul National University Anniversary Somin 35 minutes full show].

--Princess_Somin’s website is awesome, how come she was able to take photos of the Seoul National University anniversary celebration? This angle is obviously the best spot!

--A little-known fact: the station girl at the Princess Station is a graduate of Seoul National University Medical School and is currently studying for a master's degree... She said that it was the princess' encouragement that enabled her to be admitted to Seoul National University.

--Oh my god, how does she have time to be a fangirl? !

--So there are few pictures and videos on the Princess site, but they are few and good. She is the most famous mother site of the princess, she loves the most, and she is the most aggressive in sponsoring activities.

--Somin, a beautiful lady with a nice figure and a natural filter, she is ridiculously beautiful in real life.

--Somin was born for the camera, with a small face and a tall and nice figure.

--I think Red Velvet and the others look better and better as they return, but in the camera taken by passers-by, when I really saw Irene and Somin at first glance, they were still eye-catching.

--This cheering made me feel like I was going deaf when I opened the video.

--I was at the scene. It's been several days, but I can still hear screams in my ears.

--To be honest, every time I go to the Student Union Hall, I see a lot of people queuing up to get priority admission tickets, but I don’t get one because there are too many people… I never expected that this year the price of admission tickets would be sold by scalpers for 100,000 Korean won. Is our school’s anniversary so valuable?

--What is valuable is not the school anniversary, but Red Beibei!

Poster: After dancing to "Cupid", Irene carefully tested the situation by saying that maybe everyone didn't know Red Velvet, and then the CUE Velvets introduced themselves one by one.

When the young lady said this, the audience all looked confused and said "Ah???" The questioning tone was so loud that it scared Irene.

Somin said her father also studied at Seoul University!

Woohoo, I'm so happy that Somin's dad and I are school mates.

--Somin and Yeri are giggling beside us, so cute. Our youngest member Line.

--Not exaggerating at all. In order to reserve a spot, the queue for the school anniversary celebration started at dawn. In order to watch your performance, I almost set up a tent and stayed overnight. Sister Pei, do you still think Red Velvet is not popular? (Laughing and crying)

--Miss, what are you thinking about? The people of the Peninsula said that those who don’t know Red Velvet are not from the Peninsula (dog head)

--After watching all the school anniversaries, the one at Ewha Womans University shocked me the most... The girls were so determined in their rejection and had such firm beliefs.

--After the performance of Red Velvet, Ewha Womans University almost praised Somin to the sky. After reading the comments on Peninsula Internet, Korean women really love Somin to the core.

--It's normal. Ewha Womans University is not afraid of discrimination and prejudice. The school has been cultivating generations of female leaders. This girls' school really has a strong sense of feminism.

Somin exudes a rebellious and unique coolness from deep within.

Red Velvet’s two new songs gave the Women’s University’s anniversary celebration the proper meaning, and Somin’s lyrics elevated the performance to a new level.

--After watching the Red Velvet school anniversary collection, I only have one feeling, that Red Velvet turned the school anniversary into a concert.

--Red Velvet concert?

Are you kidding? Can you hear Hong Beibei singing clearly?

This is obviously a concert of Love (dog head)

--I envy Love from Peninsula...

--I also want to see it live, praying for Red Velvet’s concert.

--Red Beibei is full of vigor and vitality. Strength is their vitality. When there is a stage, they will go crazy!
