Sugarman brought in three members of the popular teenage girl group Papaya, who was known as the originator of the girl group with S.E.S. around 2000.
Although it is no longer popular, papaya still has a high degree of recognition among the 30-year-old generation in South Korea, not only the face is properly maintained, but also the singing voice can not imagine that they are more than 30 years old.
Papaya means papaya and is the name of this girl group that was once popular all over Korea. When the group was first established in 2000, it had five members: Zhao Huijing, Zhou Yanjing, Jiang Shizhen, Jiang Jingya and Huang Yunmei.
They have published an album of the same name, the main theme is sexy and cute, although the features are not large, but some of the songs are very good. For example, "Listen to Me" is "Love You" that was later covered by Wang Xinling.
"Love You" original song: Korean version of "Listen to Me".
It is said that the 5 members of the group were all introduced by the high people, and they are all strong newcomers with both personality and talent. Because their songs were simple and crisp, and easy to be remembered and sung by everyone, they enjoyed a fairly wide fan base at that time.
However, the good times did not last long, and when they were preparing to prepare a second album, the member Jiang Jingya quit Papaya in order to return to the United States to study, and another member, Huang Yunmei, left almost at the same time in order to return to work as an actor.
The five-member group was left with 3 people in an instant, and they were planning to reintroduce new people, but in the end they repackaged and directly launched a second album with a 3-person group, and the title song "Making Love" also gained a lot of popularity (that is, the song they sang when they went to Sugarman at the front of the article).
However, the new trio did not last long, and shortly after the release of the second album, Papaya quietly disbanded. The reason is very realistic, no money!
In 2012, Jiang Shizhen, who changed her name to Gao Na'en and became an actor, said in SBS's "Strong Heart" program: During the 1 year and 6 months of papaya activities, we did not get 1 penny, and at that time I thought it was all volunteer activities.
Gao Nanen also said: The relationship between the members is not too good.
When asked if there was any contact between them, Gao Na'en said: There was no contact at all, some went to the United States, and some got married.
When asked what to ask the younger generations of the entertainment industry, she said: I hope you must calculate clearly, the relationship between money must be clear, and the relationship can go a long way. Don't take what you have now for granted, don't take it for granted, and be able to plan and prepare for the future.
The three people who were still in the team, one married, and the other two changed their names to get rid of the papaya mark and each went to make another living.
Jiang Shizhen changed her name to Gao Na'en and turned into an actor, and her more famous work is the eldest daughter Gong Jade in MBC's "Jewel Bibimbap". (Second from the left in the picture above)
Another team member, Zhou Yanjing, changed to an insurance designer to sell insurance after leaving the team to marry, she said: "Although everyone thinks that selling insurance is not decent, but I have always been able to cry and laugh with customers, sincerely plan for customers, and every leaflet is personally sent to customers." The performance is constantly accumulating. It is reported that Zhou Yanjing is already an "insurance king".
The last member of the team, Zhao Huijing, changed his name to Zhao Enxi and became a singer (Trot, that is, the style of Li Ailan who sang "100 Years of Life").
I have to say that the team of "Sugarman" really used their strength to bring back how many people who have gone their separate ways and brought back the good memories of many years
And about the dissolution of that little thing, how much can give the later group a wake-up call, how many popular artists disappeared, leaving fans with only the old photos of the yellowing and the old records that fell to the dust, hey, and red and cherish it.~
