In China's pop music scene, the girl group S.H.E used to be a benchmark that everyone knew and everyone knew, but with the passage of time, the members of the group also showed a completely different direction in their careers and public images. Recently, some of Tian Fuzhen's behaviors have been disliked by netizens, while Chen Jiahua has continued to be popular in his career, and this comparison has sparked many discussions and controversies.
After Tian Fuzhen's independent development, she has always maintained a high level of artistic pursuit, but some of her public remarks and behaviors have been frequently criticized. Recently, when netizens left a message under the promotional video of Chen Jiahua's upcoming Tianjin Bubble Music Festival, hoping that she would pass on the message to Tian Fuzhen, Chen Jiahua's team responded that Chen Jiahua is an independent individual and should not be tied to other people.
Compared with the controversy of Tian Fuzhen, the image of Chen Jiahua and another member, Selina Ren Jiaxuan, is relatively stable. Chen Jiahua has not only participated in many large-scale music festivals and variety shows, but also smoothly transitioned into the role of mother in her personal life, which has increased her popularity and positive image. Selina's family background and her father's candid demeanor in public also won her a lot of affection.
Faced with the phenomenon of differences in the development of members from the same group, the public's reaction is very divided. Some believe that each artist should be treated as an individual, and that their personal choices and development should not be limited by past group identities. However, there is also a view that as members of the group who have gone through the ups and downs together, their relationship and interaction are still a criterion for evaluating their character and sense of responsibility.
In this regard, cultural critic Zhang Mingjie said: "Although every artist has the right to choose their own development path, their every action still invisibly represents their past and the group they belong to. This kind of group influence is something they can't completely get rid of. Netizens also have different opinions on this, some support Chen Jiahua's independent position, believing that it is a responsible attitude towards his personal career, while others believe that the former friendship should reflect more support and understanding at special moments.
This controversy not only reflects the public's different expectations of idols, but also reflects the complexity of the relationship between individuals and groups in modern society. Whether it's the arguments in favor of independent development or the voices looking forward to old friendships, it shows the need for people to find identity and values in the ever-changing entertainment industry. In such a multi-faceted and controversial era, every step of the way for each artist is likely to be the focus of discussion in the audience, and how they deal with these societal expectations will continue to be an inevitable challenge in their careers.
On social media and in major comment sections, netizens expressed mixed opinions on Chen Jiahua and Tian Fuzhen's differentiated treatment and public image management methods. On the one hand, many fans support Chen Jiahua's clear demarcation, believing that it will help her focus on her artistic career and family life. "A person's success should be based on individual effort and talent, not clinging to a group identity of the past. A netizen commented.
On the other hand, there are also many voices calling for more tolerance and support among the members of the old group. A netizen wrote: "In the eyes of the public, S.H.E is not just three people, but also a symbol of a youthful memory. The interactions between them, for better or worse, have a profound impact on the emotions of the fans. This view is that maintaining a certain level of collective image, even in the face of the need for individual development, is a sign of respect for past successes.
What do you think about this kind of issue? Do you think that each artist should be treated as an individual, and their personal choices and behaviors should not be influenced by their past group identity? Or do you think that as members of a group that has been through the ups and downs together, they should show more solidarity and support at critical moments?
