debut [entertainment]

I really can't hold back.

Ever since MASKCROW was Kim Yoo-hee's exclusive on the front pages of various South Korean websites, the Twitter trend on the Internet has become MASKCROW for two consecutive days.

CJ, an entertainment company that can only "show off its power" in South Korea, has been dismissed by everyone as empty talk.

Not only the major TV stations, but even the CJ Group itself no longer recognizes the series of things done by the CJ Entertainment subsidiary.

He can't even ban a young trainee who hasn't debuted yet, the ability of CJ Entertainment President Park is obvious.

While the CJ Group has already complained about President Park, another faction of CJ Group has chosen to find another way.

Jin Youxi is just an entertainer, since it is impossible to block him, why not let nature take its course, and even... turn enemies into friends?

In the face of their own interests, they really have nothing to pay attention to those messy things in the past.

Now the benefits that Kim Yoo-hee can bring to them are far greater than the losses she once caused them, and can even have a beneficial impact on their overseas expansion.

Then why not bow your head and admit your mistake?

Admitting a mistake will not lose a piece of meat.

They are all businessmen, so what self-esteem are you talking about?That really doesn't exist.

They extended an olive branch to today's Kim Yoo Hee.

As we all know, CJ Group made its fortune in the food industry, and CJ is behind the famous food and seasonings in South Korea.

So far, the food industry is still one of the core industries of CJ Group.

This time, the olive branch extended to Jin Youxi's representative "shaking hands and making peace" is the spokesperson of their food brand.

When receiving CJ's advertisement endorsement, Kim Yoo Hee thought she had heard it wrong at first.

It was CJ who blocked her, and now it is CJ who invited her to be the spokesperson?

"Their bid is very high." Mr. Dawson explained why he mentioned this endorsement with Kim Youxi.

"How tall?" Jin Youxi was a little curious.

Mr. Dawson stretched out a hand, separated his five fingers, and smiled, "This is the tallest endorsement you have received so far."

Whoops, $500 million!

Jin Youxi blinked, she was really the tallest one.

"How many years?" she asked.

"Two years." Dawson returned, "What, do you want to pick it up?"

Jin Youxi paused, took a deep breath, then shook his head: "No answer."

Dawson sat up straight and asked again: "Really not answering?"

Jin Youxi's tone this time was more affirmative: "No answer."

Dawson raised an eyebrow, "Can I ask why?"

"Why." Jin Youxi tapped her fingers on the table, her tone was light, "I don't like them, it's as simple as that."

"With this endorsement, you can buy another villa, oh no, maybe you want to buy a car." Dawson advised her.

Jin Youxi shook his head, "I don't know how to drive."

Dawson looked at her a little strangely, "Have you made up your mind?"

Jin Youxi nodded, "As long as it's them in the future, you don't need to tell me."

"That's good." Dawson crumpled up the endorsement proposal and threw it into the trash can with some pity, "I hope you won't regret it in the future."

Hearing this, Jin Youxi smiled confidently: "I never regret it."

Seeing her confident appearance, Dawson pondered: "Perhaps what they regret is that they don't necessarily have to."

500 million US dollars for two years does seem like a lot, and it even exceeds Kim Yoo Hee's current worth.

But who knows, next year, will Kim Youxi still be worth what he is now?

There are three days left until Infinity Challenge airs next week.

Now fans in South Korea and around the world already know that MASKCROW is the Kim Yoo-hee who once appeared in the first draft in South Korea.

[I always thought that the real CROW was ugly, so he wore a hood...]

【Me too, I didn't expect to be so good-looking! ! 】

【Why do you have to cover up your good looks?Isn't good looks a plus? 】

【Hey, upstairs, don't you like CROW because she's not good-looking? 】

[+1, I'm not the kind of person who only looks at faces. 】

【That is to say, we like CROW because of her appearance in the first place?Obviously it's her music and talent! 】

[I don't care what CROW looks like, as long as CROW makes music, I will definitely support it!The music she makes is amazing!I love her forever! ! ! 】

[+111!But I do wonder why CROW wears a hood hahaha. 】

[Is it the reason why the company wants to create a mysterious character for him? 】

[No way, now that she has uncovered it herself, it is no longer mysterious. When the interview with the South Korean program "Infinite Challenge" is released, it will be more cordial, and it runs counter to mystery. 】

[Didn't it mean that she was blocked by a consortium in South Korea before?That's why you're wearing a mask, right? 】

[Wow, is it so miserable? 】

[South Korea can't influence us here. The sphere of influence is not so wide. I think there must be other reasons. 】

[Will there be an interview in the next issue of "Infinite Challenge"?Just wait, CROW will definitely respond to this. 】

[Hey, there are still a few days left, woo, South Korea can watch the live broadcast, but we still have to wait for the translated version, which is more than an hour late! 】

On the extranet, everyone is discussing the next issue of MASKCROW's interview in "Infinite Challenge" in full swing, and suddenly a comment is inserted:

【Shock!Guess what I saw...]

【What? 】

[Don't do such nonsense, hurry up, hurry up and say it! 】

[Selena Gomez tweeted!The heroine of an American drama she supervised will soon be played by YOXI, also known as MASKCROW! ! 】

【? ? ? 】

[CROW actually took over the filming of an American TV series! ?Or the heroine? ? 】

[What is the name of the American drama? 】

[OMG!!! It's "Thirteen Reasons Why"!I have read this novel! 】

【! ! ! 】

The news came so quickly. Not long ago, they just learned that their idol looked so good-looking after revealing their headshots. They were looking forward to the next interview, but now?

MASKCROW can also act! ?

The exclusive news that came one after another completely confused the fans.

It's really stupid.

This feeling of never being able to imagine what kind of treasure my idol is, is really... TM exciting!

[So apart from the identity of MASKCROW, she can also make her acting debut on her own? 】

[I'm already stunned, God is so unfair! ! 】

[Woooooh, she can rely on her looks, but she has to rely on her strength. It doesn't matter if she sings and dances, but she can still act! ?When God made her, I'm afraid he kissed her a few times! 】

[I'm thinking now... what else CROW can't do. 】

[Have you seen the new information released by Republic Records? MASKCROW skipped a grade and was admitted to Berklee College of Music when he was young, and then dropped out of school after only one year to go to South Korea. 】

[Berkeley! ?No wonder!No wonder CROW is so good at writing songs! 】

[Is it even admitted to Berkeley with the jazz piano?Jazz piano is probably not the most difficult major! 】

【Okay, I understand now, there is no CROW we like, CASEEND.】

[Wait, you fans, don't be too happy, "Thirteen Reasons Why" hasn't started filming yet, when it starts broadcasting, if CROW's acting skills are not good, your idols will be ridiculed! 】

[? ?I'm afraid you don't know how fierce the audition competition is here in Hollywood. This is the heroine, at least hundreds of people went to the audition, right?In the end, he chose CROW. Doesn't it explain something? 】

[I think this only shows that CROW is really good-looking and photogenic, but the acting skills, Emmm...let's wait until the broadcast starts, I'm too optimistic and I'm afraid I'll be completely disappointed when the time comes. 】

【Hehe, it’s just a gimmick. Just look at TaylorSwift. Among the movies and TV shows she guest starred in, which one can you find out is better? 】

[? ?Why mention TaylorSwift?Deliberately starting a fight? 】

【I'm just giving an example to show that most singers are not good at acting. Why are you so excited? Could it be that you are a fan of TaylorSwift? 】

【F*…】

Under the divergent opinions, Selena Gomez sent another INS.

This is a short video.

"Hey, guys!" Selena greeted the camera, and first introduced a few words about her experience in producing "Thirteen Reasons Why".

She emphasized at the end of the video: "Believe me, no one is more suitable for this role than YOXI. I look forward to the filming of the TV series!"

She was completely on Jin Youxi's side.

However, except for her fans and MASKCROW fans, most passers-by are still skeptical about it.

But it's useless to doubt it.

The TV series have not started filming yet, let alone start broadcasting next year.

Even if this remake is a bad show, they will have to wait until the official launch before they can complain about it on various websites such as Rotten Tomatoes.

So amidst the back and forth disputes on the Internet, the time came to this Saturday unknowingly.

The opening day of "Infinite Challenge".

Both MASKCROW fans and passers-by are already sitting in front of the TV, looking forward to today's broadcast.

With Kim Yoo-hee as the guarantee of ratings, the ratings of the last two episodes of "Infinite Challenge" can be said to be higher than the last. The ratings even broke 25% to 30%!

In the current situation where the ratings in South Korea are getting lower and lower, this number can be said to be invincible and unrivaled!

Since the last interview was cut short immediately after it aired, the opening ratings of this episode of "Infinite Challenge" immediately broke through the highest ratings of the previous episode.

It really proves what is said on the Internet: Everyone is wondering how Kim Yoo-hee became MASKCROW!

The trailer ends and the feature film begins.

Liu Zaishi asked the first question that everyone was most curious about:

"Youxi, what made you become MASKCROW in the first place, doing road shows on the street?"

At this moment, everyone is somewhat tired, lying or leaning on the sofa, not at all like an interview, but like chatting about homework.

This form obviously made Jin Youxi feel more comfortable. At this time, she took off her black hood, wore a black sportswear, and crossed her legs on the sofa with a pillow in her hand.

"Actually, it's because of my father." Jin Youxi couldn't help laughing, "Of course, my mother may also be involved."

"Both of them felt that I was old enough to stop being a little girl and start making money on my own."

HAHA sat up straight and said loudly: "This must be Brother Zhong Guo's idea!"

Liu Zaishi covered HAHA's mouth with his hand: "Ah, Youxi hasn't finished yet!"

The two were arguing for a while, and Jin Youxi couldn't help but laugh. After the two of them had finished arguing, he shrugged his shoulders: "So, I will come out to the road show to earn pocket money!"

"That hood is...?" Park Mouxiu asked.

"At that time, you know, because of the influence of the previous relationship, I had to wear a hood." Jin Youxi explained.

Park Mouxiu has always been connected to the 2G village network, and she didn't know the information at all, so she went to ask Huang Guangxi next to her in a low voice: "What kind of relationship is it?"

Seeing his actions, Kim Yoo Hee smiled, "There's nothing bad to say, it's just that I had a relationship with senior Min Ho when I was a trainee."

"The news broke out a long time after the breakup, but it was still affected, so it is not convenient to go out with a real identity."

【I know this!At that time, MINO's only fans were really crazy, I even heard that they went to YG to block Kim Yoo Hee. 】

【I’ve also heard that I’m a fan of the YG family. At that time, these only fans went to a sit-in under YG to protest. Personally, I think this is the reason why Kim Yoo-hee left YG. 】

【Haha, if Kim Yoo-hee still belongs to YG, I'm afraid he won't have such good results, right? 】

[That's right, even if Kim Yoo Hee didn't reveal this matter, at most he would debut with BLACKPINK's girl group, right?Although BLACKPINK is also a monster newcomer, but after all MASKCROW is the real awesome! 】

[To be honest, I don’t think Kim Yoo-hee is suitable for a girl group. Her words in the group are too prominent, and it is inevitable to cover up the existence of other members of the group. I felt it in "PRODUCE101", not to mention that she can create. 】

[It can only be said that it is destined in the dark. 】

The chats of several people continued to be played on the TV, and the less formal interviews would naturally go off topic by accident. After another round of playfulness, the main MC Liu Zaishi took control of the field.

"Why the name MASKCROW? The name translates to 'masked crow', right?"

In many countries or regions, crows generally represent an ominous sign.

Why would Kim Yoo-hee give herself such an ominous and weird name?

Hearing this question, Jin Youxi couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, she took the pillow away from her arms: "Look."

Several members of "Infinite Challenge" looked at her one after another, but they didn't understand what they were looking for.

Jin Youxi saw that they were confused, so he couldn't help tugging at his black clothes, and laughed at himself: "Don't you look like a crow?"

Quan Zhilong laughed out loud.

【...Okay, this name, um, as long as Youxi is happy. 】

[I see, hahahaha laughed so hard, does Wuli Youxi like black so much? 】

[I suddenly remembered the picture that MASKCROW was Ped into the night watchman of "Game of Thrones", hahahaha wait for me to find it for you. 】

[Don't look for it, here it is - MASK Night Watchman.jpg]

[Haha, there is no sense of disobedience! 】

The members of "Infinite Challenge" couldn't help laughing.

Embarrassed, Jin Youxi hugged the pillow back into her arms and spread her hands: "Is it still too late to regret changing my name?"

[It's too late baby hahaha, I won't be called Wuli Youxi anymore, I will be called Wuli Little Crow! 】

[kkkk add me, don't change your name, little crow~! 】

"So, after coming to the United States to sign the contract, why did you choose to continue to wear the hood?" Liu Zaishi continued to ask.

Here comes the point.

Netizens are most curious about this question.

This time, Jin Youxi didn't lean on the sofa like before, she sat up straight, looking a little serious.

She paused for a moment, as if considering her words.

"I know that whether it's a girl group or a boy group or a solo singer, everyone is very concerned about the singer's appearance."

"If they are good-looking, maybe he or she doesn't need to put in much effort, and they don't need to have any strength to become a hit after packaging."

"But I don't want that."

"I have paid too much on this road. What I want everyone to see is the true strength that I have achieved through so much sweat, not the convenience that comes naturally."

"The appearance will eventually disappear with time, but my music, my singing, and my creations, these are the intangible wealth that will not disappear, and they are also my true value."

Huang Guangxi was thoughtful, and continued: "So you choose to continue to cover up your appearance."

Jin Youxi nodded: "Yes, and my music has been seen by the public."

For a moment, the whole living room was a little quiet.

Everyone's eyes were focused on her, but this time, what they didn't seem to see was her appearance.

Whether it's "COOLGIRLS", "Thunder", "Youngblood" and other songs, Kim Yoo-hee used the identity of MASKCROW to post them.

There is no outstanding appearance to attract the public's attention, and even "COOLGIRLS" did not have a company promotion at the beginning.

People love these songs so much.

Song written by Kim Yoo Hee.

The emotions she conveyed, the spirit she wanted to express, and her attitude as a person were all integrated into the self-composed album "Rainbow". People were once crazy about it, and music critics loved her extremely!

What they like and choose to believe is only her music.

[... I have to say, Kim Yoo-hee is really handsome (not talking about appearance). 】

[In the case of being banned from leaving the United States at the time, in fact, Kim Yoo-hee's appearance in the United States is the fastest way to re-sign with a record company, right?But she didn't do that. This is really not a choice that ordinary people can make. 】

【She's a bit weird, but she's very persistent, and persistent people always have an inexplicable charm. 】

[From today, I declare to be a fan of Kim Yoo Hee. 】

[I appreciate her very much. 】

[As an unknown singer, I am about to give up this road and go back to my hometown. Looking at her, I seem to have the courage to start again. 】

All kinds of comments poured out on the Internet, and there are even people in their 40s and [-]s who are no longer chasing stars.

Jin Youxi's words were intercepted and spread to various online social platforms around the world after the show was broadcast.

Some people said she was stupid, that she didn't need it at all, and many good-looking singers later let everyone see their strength.

Some people even said that Jin Youxi just stood and talked without pain in her back. How could she know how to feel the pain of others because she is so good-looking herself?

Such negative statements will naturally come out one after another, but most mainstream voices are still positive.

After all, the times are different now.

In the past, when the public wanted to pay attention to a singer, the first time they heard his or her music was through invisible channels such as radio, film, or tape. They paid attention to the singer's music from the beginning.

Not his or her appearance.

But now.

The mass media is so developed, when people pay attention to this singer, the first thing they pay attention to is his or her appearance, whether he or she looks good under the camera, and then they pay attention to his or her singing and music.

The order has changed.

This is why the bigger music record companies nowadays pay more attention to appearance.

The appearance of KPOP music by South Korean men's and women's groups has pushed this situation to its peak.

The most famous among them is of course the well-deserved SM. The criteria for selecting trainees to look at their faces first is no longer an industry secret, but a status quo that is well known and accepted by the public.

YG, which didn't pay much attention to the appearance of its members in the past, has begun to pay attention to the appearance of trainees along with the expansion of the company's scale in recent years.

"Appearance is justice!" "One face travels all over the world!" and other quotations frequently appear, which makes these companies put the singer's appearance in the first place.

Driven by interests, there is nothing wrong with it.

But how many good music made sincerely, many good singers who really have talent and singing voice, are still favored by people?

How much of the niche music of people like Hyukoh, Li Di, Zheng Zaixing, etc. has been buried in this commercial market?

It is not easy to produce such a MASKCROW.

And those musicians who are still struggling, seeing Kim Yoo Hee’s experience of becoming MASKCROW, if they can be encouraged to continue to persevere.

Perhaps this is the warmth that Kim Yoo Hee really wants to convey.

I hope that all good music can be seen by people.
