On September 1, South Korea's PLEDIS brokerage company announced that two Chinese members of EVENTEEN, Xu Minghao and Wen Junhui, will return to China for development.
*
We have seen many cases of Korean group members entering the internal entertainment, Wang Jiaer of Got7, Zhou Jieqiong when Pristin was not yet disbanded, Cheng Xiao of Cosmic Girl, Meng Meiqi, and Wu Xuanyi.
Therefore, I am also very clear about what it means for Aidou, who is working in Korea, to return to China. It means that the original group will be shelved, plunged into the sea of internal entertainment, filming, variety shows, may not have a huge impact, but in the end it is a continuous film contract and a wide source of wealth. There is no time limit for the shelving of the original group.
Fans may never see the neatly groomed love beans again, standing in a row and shouting "Hello everyone we are..." If they are lucky, they can see the group continue to move, and there is a missing person (or several people) on each stage. If such luck is not there, the group may gradually fade out of view, no new album, no activity, as if it only exists in the hearts of fans and the ins of love beans.
Fans are well aware of what it means for a Chinese member of a group to return to China. It means shelving the Korean career, abandoning the complete body of the group, temporarily releasing the ability to sing and dance, and turning to the opportunity of personal display and the broader showbiz circle.
So the fans, while feeling lost, waved tears of blessing.
Looking closely at the announcement of PLEDIS, you will find that this time of EVENTEEN, it seems to be different.
"They will resume activities in China that have been postponed due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and meet families who have not seen each other for a long time," the announcement said. It is clearly stated that the time frame of their event is "September to December.".
They didn't leave the group, they just went home.
The company's announcements have seen too much, often bringing bad news that some members are injured and resting, and this time it actually makes people see a little warmth.
One of the most rare things about seventeen is that they bring a lot of security to fans.
Not long ago, SEVENTEEN just announced that it has completed an early renewal with the company.
This is news that no one thought of, and many points determine that this choice is difficult.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="39" > renew the contract with the company</h1>
PLEDIS is not a large company, has a lot of problems, and has played an important role in the growth of EVENTEEN, but it is also a flawed role.
In terms of volume, financial resources, etc., PLEDIS is a small workshop, at most it can only be said to be the leading workshop in the small workshop.
It is very strong in the cultivation of aidou's strength, known as "South Korean Hengshui", but it has many shortcomings in the operation of the debut group.
Overall, PLEDIS is not bad, but it's not perfect, and deciding to renew it wasn't an easy option.
*The volume is limited and will not be described in detail here. Regarding PLEDIS, if you are interested, you will write a special lecture next time.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="41" > advance</h1>
There is still a period of time before the expiration of the member's contract, fans have begun to worry early, not sure how Aidou will choose, how to coordinate and how to choose in the face of future enlistment and other issues.
The members reassured themselves with their actions, consulted with the company in advance, and informed the fans immediately after reaching the result. This "advance", without warning, is reassuring.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="42" > all staff</h1>
As a large group of 13 members, it is much more difficult for members to agree on their opinions than for small groups. In particular, there are two Chinese green cards in the group, and they still choose to stay when the Chinese love beans who are working in South Korea have returned to China.
Because they said: 13 people with their trust in each other, as well as the strong teamwork that has always been strong, agreed on the idea of going to go together in the future, and then will be "One Team" SEVENTEEN, in order to present better music and a more exciting stage to fans around the world, and do their best.
Sometimes when you look at EVENTEEN, you will feel that this is the meaning of "group", and it turns out that you like a "group" like this.
Seventeen early renewal announcement
After the news of his return to China was announced, other members of seventeen said on social platforms that they would ask Chinese members to help him bring melona (an ice cream).
In South Korea, this sentence has another meaning: you will come back anyway.
Other members also offered to bring Tsingtao beer and all kinds of things, as if they were not going abroad, they were going to a commissary downstairs in the dormitory, and it was as if they were not returning to China to work, but to go shopping.
Very everyday, very riskeen.
Fans commented that there were families waiting on both sides.
This sentence touched me deeply.
All in all, welcome home.
Next, we will continue this topic and discuss whether it is good or bad for Junhui and Xu Minghao to return to China to develop.
