Recently, the news that the members of the popular Korean girl group Weki Meki have taken a break due to illness has touched the hearts of many netizens, and the company said that the company said that the company can not continue the activity due to illness, and the group will be active in the form of 7 people until the sentient recovery. Teammate Jin Duyan's heart-warming move made netizens praise her deep love affair with Ling, which is worthy of being a "bamboo horse CP" who has been a friend since middle school.
It is reported that after a temporary break due to illness in Lingyou, Kim Do-yeon replaced her nail art pattern with a sunflower. Sunflowers have always been the representative of the sentient beings, because the grandfather who passed away had painted the sunflower pattern before his death, and said that the sentient beings were like sunflowers, so the sentient beings took the sunflower as their symbol.
According to fans of Ling Youqing, Ling Youqing not only tattoos a sunflower pattern on his body, but also brings a sunflower icon as his personal symbol when updating his status on social platforms. This time, Jin Duyan replaced the nail art with sunflowers, and some netizens speculated that this move was not a change made for the sake of Ling Youqing's temporary leave due to illness.
Jin Duyan also generously admitted this in the face of netizens' inquiries, saying that because she "wanted to always take sentient beings with her", she chose a sunflower-patterned nail art to fulfill her wish. The deep sisterhood between the two has touched many netizens, and some people have said that this time "it is too sweet, CP bumped to the real".
The reason why netizens say this is because Kim Do-yeon and Hyun You-yeon are not only teammates of the same Korean group, but also good friends who have known each other since middle school. The two participated in the first Korean edition of "Produce101" together, and successfully became members of the limited group and carried out limited-time activities. After the end of the limited group activity period, the two joined the current group together and fought side by side again.
Because Jin Duyan and Ling Youqing have always had a good relationship and are friends from middle school, many netizens also call the sisters "Bamboo Horse CP". This time, Jin Duyan completed her wish to take her friends with her in this way, which on the one hand proved that the feelings of the two were not fake, and on the other hand, it also showed the changes in the operation of the Korean group in recent years.
In the past, Korean groups rarely agreed to a person not participating in the return activity for a long time because of the physical problems of the members. In the early years of the boy band and the members of the women's group, whether it was physical illness or psychological distress, the company responded in a simple and rude way, and all group activities were the highest priority.
But perhaps it is the endless psychological illness incidents of members of the Korean group in recent years, as well as some irreparable tragedies. Korean entertainment companies have also begun to change their thinking, allowing sick members to recuperate for a long time until they recover and then return to the team. Although from the perspective of the members, this is a good thing that can be safe to recover from the disease, fans are worried about whether their idol will be "withdrawn" by the company after a long rest due to illness.
Previously, TWICE member Naoi Nan did not participate in activities such as return due to illness for a long time, and some fans worried that Naoi Nan had actually been "withdrawn from the group", and it was not until not long ago that he appeared with the team. The same is true for fans of Ling Yousheng's condition. While worrying about the health of idols, they are also afraid that their popularity will be affected by not returning for a long time, and they may even be removed from the company for other reasons.
It can be seen that although the company's attitude has changed, the survival situation and competitive pressure of KPOP group members are not less than in the past. Even due to the existence of a series of draft-limited combinations, the KPOP market has become more crowded, and more and more combinations of various types have emerged, and not only the members themselves but also the fans have begun to follow the anxiety.
However, due to policy reasons, the Korean Wave basically lost the big market of China, and had to seek other ideas to break the situation. Although bulletproof and powder ink have opened up the US market to a certain extent, it is still a long way from the Korean Wave to truly invade the United States. The group to which Lei Youqing and Kim Do-yeon belong is not currently prominent among the Korean groups, which may also be the reason why fans have been worried about The health of Lei Youqing, afraid that his return to popularity will be affected.
