Recently, the broadcast of the MBN variety show "Miss Back" will once again push Stellar, the "19 Forbidden Girl Group" known as the tears of the times, in front of people again...
Stellar is a female singing group released by The Entertainment Pascal Entertainment Co., Ltd. on August 25, 2011, officially debuting with the digital single "Rocket Girl".
Stellar was founded for seven years, and it was not until the members Kim Ka-young and Jeon Yoo-ri withdrew from the group when their affiliation expired, and announced their dissolution in February of the following year.
When Stellar is mentioned, many people will remember that this is a "19 forbidden girl group" that takes the sexy route, and the MV and dance movements of their songs are very explicit, and even contain sexual innuendo.
But who knows, when Stellar first debuted, he was also a girl group that took the cute route of ghosts and horses.
Stellar, who just debuted, was a girl group that Mythical Eric participated in, and at that time they also sang the OST "Loving U" of Eric's romantic comedy "Spy Bright Moon", which received a lot of attention.
Although the starting point is good, but the competition in the Korean entertainment industry is too fierce, Stellar, which has produced three albums in two years, has been annihilated in the torrent, the company's income is not good, and Eric is no longer involved in the production.
Stellar spent three years in obscurity, until 2014, when "Marionette" came out, and the group suddenly became the focus.
Stellar has transformed her style from a ghostly horse girl into a sexy beauty, and "Marionette" is their transformation.
2014 is the first year of the sexy wind, Girls Day's "something", AOA's "Short Skirt", "Cat's Walk", EXID's "up and down" and so on are all from this year.
And the reason why Stellar's "Marionette" broke through the siege in a number of girl groups and hot songs is that it is "especially sexy"!
Stellar is sexier than other girl groups, or it is more appropriate to describe it as "pornography".
Revealing costumes, excessive dance moves, sexually suggestive scenes... Every frame and every painting of the Marionette MV stimulates people's eyes.
Because the response of "Marionette" is not bad, Stellar has released several singles in succession, and the style is without exception, all of which are large-scale sexy.
Especially in 2015's "떨려요", the costumes worn by the members in the MV are simply out of line, even in today's 2020, this costume is still the "ceiling" of the "sexy girl group".
Once people feel fresh, after two or three times people start to feel disgusted.
In the later stages of development, the online evaluation of Stellar became more and more negative, and they gradually became synonymous with girl group and unpopular girl group, and the label of 19 forbidden was not taken off until they disappeared from people's vision.
Although the MV is famous for the "19 ban", Stellar is not a girl group that completely survives by playing the edge ball, and their songs were very popular in South Korea at that time, so they were called the tears of the times and are remembered to this day.
Moreover, "pornography" is not the original intention of the Stellar members.
Jia Ying, who starred in "Miss Back", told how Stellar became a "19 Forbidden Girl Group" in the show.
Jiaying said: "Although I dreamed of becoming a pure girl group, I didn't get any special reaction, so I carried out activities with the concept of 19 forbidden to transform into an image. Although Marionette was a success, it was both hilarious and sad, and now people think that Stellar was originally such a combination. ”
For the "떨려요" costume that caused criticism, Jiaying revealed: "The costume that went to the shooting scene suddenly became that one. None of us wanted to wear that dress, but the company representative asked us to give it a try. He said it wouldn't be released if it was weird, it would be clipped out, so we took 5 photos. After the shooting, I thought it was too 'sexy', so I asked to replace it, but I didn't expect to finally make the photo public. ”
Jiaying said that because of the sexy impression left by the song's MV, people thought that the members were like that: "Occasionally someone will send a photo of my genitals through SNS DM, and there will be that kind of sponsorship proposal." Because of the psychological trauma I suffered at that time, I was reluctant to wear short sleeves and shorts until now, and I did not want others to see my flesh and legs. ”
In addition, Jiaying also said that his income in the 7 years of his debut was only about 10 million won (about 60,000 yuan), which made MC Song Enyi and Bai Zhien shed tears.
For these described by Jiaying, Cui Bingmin, the representative of his former affiliate, said that he was very wronged.
Today, Representative Cui said through the media: "At that time, there were many combinations of sexy concept activities, so we also did it, and later through deliberation, it was decided to carry out in the form of 19 bans. ”
"When I was working, I never forced the members, and the makeup, costumes, and styling of the Stellar song MV were discussed together, and the members did not object at that time", "We also asked the members and their parents for the clothing, and even some of the members' parents advocated that 'it should be carried out in a more sexy style'."
Not only that, Cui also revealed: "Although it failed to reach the profit and loss balance point, the company's situation is also very difficult, but still did its best to settle Stellar." In addition, the company supported its members a lot with the concept of pocket money and salary. Coaching, production fees, etc. have not been charged from the members since their debut. 'Not even 10 million won' is just Jiaying's own idea. ”
Moreover, Representative Choi said that the reason for Stellar's dissolution was the mistakes made by Jiaying and Min-hee.
Stellar signed an advertising modeling contract with cosmetics company Company A in 2017. However, after Jiaying and Min Hee uploaded other product-related photos on their SNS, Company A filed a damages lawsuit on the grounds that it "violated the contract period by not advertising and promoting cosmetics of competing companies" for cosmetics advertising and publicity activities. In this lawsuit, Stellar lost the lawsuit, so the company encountered serious operational difficulties, and eventually the company went out of business.
Representative Cui said: "The TV station did not conduct any investigation into the agency company, but only broadcast what the actor said as fact. Isn't broadcasting fair? Curious what is the intention of the program group that broadcasts what Jiaying said to be broadcast like a fact? If such a situation occurs in the future, measures will be taken. ”
In this regard, MBN's "Miss Back" said that the two sides have different opinions and there is nothing worth dealing with.
Now that a long time has passed since Stellar disbanded, Jia Ying and the other members have returned to ordinary life. We who are not the parties will never be able to fully understand the right and wrong of the matter, and only hope that the members of Stellar can get rid of the psychological burden of the past and bravely meet the sun of tomorrow!
