The so-called idol may be different from what you think.
On July 25, 2015, at the second general selection concert of SNH48, all five students met with fans for the first time, these green faces holding flowers and their eyes full of expectations for the future.
SNH48 2nd General Selection Fifth Term Students Debut
After debuting on stage, they can not be considered debut, on the stage of the exclusive theater is their next goal, nearly half a year of training and rehearsal is waiting for these young girls.
The fifth term students were born in the theater when there was no public performance
Due to the daily performances of the seniors, the fifth batch of students did not have much time to rehearse in the theater, and most of the time was rehearsed in the rehearsal room of the life center. Since most of the members had no dance foundation before entering the group, the complex movements and positions poured cold water on them with enthusiasm.

Members who progress slower often choose to practice alone until the early hours of the morning.

Confused, it began to fill the air of this group of girls breathing.
The pressure gradually eroded the joy of entering the group.
But the original intention of the heart has not wavered.

There are many girls among the fans
People often think that choosing to be an idol is just these ignorant little girls playing, or wanting to eat youth meals for a few years, but this is never an easy task.
There are also often people who sneer at the dreams they mention.
We know very little about the story behind the stage of these girls, and beneath the glossy exterior is a group of youthful faces, all tears and sweat, smiles and confusion, all stemming from that initial little thought:
"I, I want to stand on the stage"
SNH48 Exclusive Theater - Dream Theater
This original dream will support these girls on the road of idols and continue to shine.

Many people may have the same feeling as the author after reading it, "These girls are nothing special, a big grab on the road", however, it is precisely because of passers-by that these girls can be called idols.
Unlike the high stars, idols are more like a job than an identity, they have a fixed commute time, the purpose is to bring positive energy to the fans, the form is to stand on the stage to perform, communication is through a handshake meeting, in addition, they are no different from ordinary people.
Because of Taiwanese idol dramas, in the past ten years, idols have been used as synonymous with good-looking stars, and the idol faction has also hidden a layer of flashy meaning. However, with the spread and popularization of idol culture, many people have found that the term idol is being redefined.
"They are a kind of close existence", SNH48 fans described the girls on the stage, the author did see a lot of obvious grassroots traits in them, family situation, ordinary looks, no specialty, just like most people. However, the original ordinary girl, standing on the stage, emits light, and can even move towards a broader platform, which is transmitting a value to the outside world: "Everyone contains unlimited possibilities, confident and brave to insist, they may do things they dare not imagine", throwing aside the surface of selling dreams, the greatest value of idol culture lies in this.
Chasing stars or rice idols, should not be habitually labeled as brain-dead, what kind of person a person can become is his own business after all, idols only play a little guidance or support role on the way, the author also learned that many fans who have done a good job in their own field, who are not qualified to completely deny the preferences of others without understanding. Regarding star chasing, Meng Fei said this:
"Balancing the process of chasing stars and one's own life is actually a kind of cultivation, moreover, growing up with idols is not also a tearful life?" This is the words I saw on a fan's Weibo, I think it is well written, SNH48's second-term student Feng Salary Duo also said a paragraph about the relationship between fans and idols in the show, this passage is also widely circulated in the fan circle, "Thinking of this passage she said, we will often examine ourselves, when the idol continues to grow, whether we are making progress together as a fan." ”
