A while ago, the "Lang Sister 3" online transmission list was exposed, and I did not expect that everyone would react the same after reading it:
The audience didn't buy it, to be expected.
From the phenomenon-level explosive variety show to the hot search on the topic of relying on the sisters to pull each other's heads and hype, "Sister Lang" has long been untouched.
Looking at the ratings of a season that are not as good as a season, we can't help but think: What kind of women should they be like when they ride the wind and waves?
Until I saw this group of girl groups with an average age of 38 years old, everything had an answer.
Recently, the video of their full-time singing and dancing of the popular single "next level" exploded all over the internet, the dance style was neat and handsome, and the aura and strength were not lost to the active women's group.
Netizens directly boiled: "This is beyond the level of the original song, the sister is a cow!" ”
"The tears of the times, fiercely crying ~"
This video is from the explosive variety show "Mama is an Idol", a new variety show with a similar theme to "Sister Lang", but in different forms.
The program group focused on the love beans that retreated because of marriage and children, so that these mothers regained the identity of idols and formed a new girl group to debut.
Among these female love beans, some have been out of the circle for 12 years, and some are already the mothers of three babies.
But they were once the dominant beings in the Hallyu circle.
Fade the aura and return to the ordinary
From 2000 to 2010, the era of "gods fighting" in the Korean entertainment industry.
The first generation of the second generation of girl groups flourished, Girls' Generation, Wonder Girls, After School, Jewelry, f(x), T-ara... Countless familiar combinations, composed of the unstoppable Hallyu wave swept the world.
The classic songs that came out of the circle in those years, each capital is deeply rooted in our DNA.
With the iteration of traffic, the new girl group continues to continue, and the second generation of female aid beans in the music industry at that time knows that it is time to enter the next stage of life.
Walk off the altar and retire.
They return to their families, become ordinary housewives, and gradually disappear in front of the camera.
In the past, I won the prize and got it softly, but now I only read three meals a day.
Min Xianyi, the captain of the legendary girl group Wonder Girls, debuted at the peak.
Needless to say, how popular "Tell me" and "No body" are, dominating the major music charts in Asia, sweeping major awards, and making people's melodies and dance steps trigger a global imitation boom.
More than a decade later, the 33-year-old Xian Yi is now the mother of three little girls.
In 2013, Xianyi officially announced his marriage at the most popular time, and married to Canada to live a happy and happy family life.
For the past nine years, her daily routine has been the same as many full-time housewives: cooking, bringing a baby, and spending ordinary days.
Park Jiaxi, who is 9 years older than her, was once the leader and captain of the long-legged women's group After School, and used to shine on the stage, and her handsome and cool dance posture circle fans are countless.
After marriage, he and his family moved to Bali to live, and every day they walked around the stove, and taking a baby became the biggest physical work.
A generation of girl group Jewelry lead singer Park Zhenya, 14 years ago led the group to the stage several times to receive awards, in the music world popularity and strength are invincible.
Leaving the spotlight, her life no longer has to talk about the acceptance speech, but there are endless meals and dishes that cannot be washed.
Not only them, but also singer Liang Enzhi, who has retired from the circle for 15 years, Xuan Juni, a former member of the girl group Bella Mafia, and singer star who is married to the artist HAHA, have all undergone the transformation from star to full-time housewife.
After the aura faded, one by one, they were getting farther and farther away from the stage.
Accompany us through a period of youth of the first generation of women's group, gradually towards the end.
Although there are many hotter and more beautiful girl groups, we will still miss the past era of fairy fights.
These female love beans, why not?
Get back on stage and challenge yourself
As we all know, the Korean entertainment industry iterates quickly, always pursuing youth and freshness.
Under such a cruel star-making system, female love beans get married and have children, which is equivalent to being eliminated by the entertainment industry.
Despite more than a decade of youth and efforts they have poured into becoming a great love bean, the industry will not give them another chance.
So when I received the invitation from the program team, the sisters were a little incredulous while excited.
But after the excitement, it is more hesitation.
After leaving the stage for more than ten years, the popular idol that was once extremely popular is full of unconfidence at the moment:
"Can I really?"
"No one should know me among today's young people, right?"
Such a moment of self-doubt believes that many women who return to the workplace after childbirth feel the same way.
Even if you return to a field that you are familiar with, but because you have been out of touch with society for too long, you will involuntarily doubt your own abilities, and feel timid and overwhelmed by everything that you don't know.
For artists, after more than a decade of making a comeback on the stage, they are not only facing inner tension, but also the pressure brought by the current standards of the entertainment industry.
Coupled with the many years of performance gap period, as well as the physical fatigue caused by the long-term baby, it is difficult to return to the stage.
But the desire to sing and dance in their bones did not allow them to give up this opportunity.
In order to participate in the show, they practiced while taking the baby.
Everyone took out the hard work of the love bean period, and even worked harder than before.
Once you're on stage, do your best. This is what they have always insisted on.
For the first time, Jiaxi's queen Fan did not reduce that year, his expression and actions were in place, and the aura of one person supported the entire stage atmosphere.
The lyrical songs of the first art can still be played, and the singing skills are as stable as ever.
A song called "Waiting" was sung to the fans, but also to herself.
Seeing their scrappy comeback, I don't know why I have the urge to cry.
From big stars to stay-at-home mothers, there are too many things to give up and sacrifice, and the heartache and loneliness behind this are indescribable.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this dedication that we will be deeply moved by the courage and perseverance of the love bean mothers.
But reality doesn't give you favors because of your "mom" status, especially in the fiercely competitive and brutal entertainment industry.
The singing method is too old-fashioned, the dancing energy is insufficient... The judges in the show all take the most stringent standards of the moment to score.
As a love bean who has once taken the first place, it is definitely false to say that there is no gap in the heart.
But everyone did not accept defeat, forced the sadness in their hearts, gritted their teeth and continued to walk.
It's a mom and an idol
Some people say that "Mom is an Idol" is like a history of blood and tears of a full-time mother returning to the workplace, true and cruel.
But it's still bloody.
Whether it is a mother or a bean, we can see in this group of women who are not afraid of difficulties and strive to shine.
Choose to comeback, each love bean has its own persistence -
"I still crave the stage."
"I want to experience what it's like to be born again."
"I want to show my daughter the handsome side of my mother."
Compared with working in the workplace, the work of a stay-at-home mother is obviously more repetitive and monotonous.
After staying in the life of chai rice oil and salt for a long time, I gradually forgot the past that shined in the professional field and lost myself.
Countless times I want to find my former self, and countless times I try to suppress my inner desire and yearning.
This heartache and struggle tells the dilemma that stay-at-home mothers have faced.
Therefore, when the opportunity comes, they cherish it immensely, and at the same time work harder to improve themselves.
The six mothers practiced repeatedly, corrected each other's mistakes, and did not let go of a single detail, and finally presented these stage performances that amazed everyone.
"Moms can't afford to lose their chances because they're interrupted at work."
The phrase of Hong Zhenqing, the convener of the show, poked me in particular.
If society is willing to put aside prejudices and doubts and provide equal opportunities for stay-at-home moms, I think they can be excellent.
As long as they maintain tenacity and enthusiasm, and have the courage and perseverance to regain their dreams, they will definitely be able to find that sparkling self.
They can be anything they want, as long as they want to.
