Hello everyone, I'm Ma Xiangyu.
To say that this year's hottest girl group variety show is "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves".
30+ sisters formed a girl group to take the stage and show their charm in singing and dancing.
Successfully breaking through the many drafts has triggered the topic this summer.
Just two months ago, a new variety show launched in South Korea was on the hot search because it was accused of plagiarizing "Sister Lang".
The internal entertainment variety show, which has always used Han Zong as a material library, seems to have finally taken a breath.
The show was recently broadcast, and Xiangyu went in with curiosity to watch.
However, it was found that it had nothing to do with "Sister Lang" at all.
There is no imagination of the confidence and domineering spirit of the sisters competing.
On the contrary, it is full of shocking truths in the Korean entertainment circle and extremely depressed real life.

The show was launched by South Korean cable television station MBN.
Known as the "Queen of Korean Drama OST", the powerful female singer Baek Ji-young served as the producer of the show.
The creative god who produced "Celeb Five" was the agent, with comedian and entertainment company CEO Song Eun-il as the agent.
"Big Hit Song Maker" Yoon Il-sang became a special composer invited by the show.
Most of the people participating in the show are members of the second or third generation of Korean girl groups.
Stellar Jin Jiaying, WA$UP Nada, After School Wu Yilin, Nine Muses Liu Shiluo;
T-ara Park Joo-yeon, Crayon Pop Joo-yeon, DalShabet★Park So-bin, THE ARK Jung You-jin.
Among them, there are many female idols who were extremely popular at that time.
There are also people whose names are not even known to the public.
Today, they are all labeled as a former girl group.
Each left the glorious stage with regrets, and no one cared about it anymore.
In this show, three well-known producers will tailor a "life song" for the eight sisters who have stood out from more than 200 people, so that they can stand on the stage again.
However, what caused heated discussion after the broadcast of the show was not the courage of the sisters to chase their dreams again.
It's the shocking real-life experiences in their documentaries.
Jin Jiaying, a member of the girl group Stellar, recalled that in the first three years of their debut, the group has always been a youthful and cute style.
Unfortunately, the response has been flat, and it is difficult to gain a foothold in the fierce women's group market.
For the sake of the development of the portfolio, the company decided to change the style and take the sexy route.
In 2014, Stellar released "Marionettes", which gave them unprecedented attention on a large scale.
And the companies that have tasted the sweetness have also pushed the bottom line again and again, allowing them to perform the provocative 19 forbidden works.
During the shooting, they were suddenly asked to wear swimsuits with only two thin straps on the side.
Although the members strongly refused, the head of the company tested the film with the promise of "changing clothes if it is too pornographic".
Later, without the consent of any members, it was released as a trailer for the album.
Using large-scale sexiness as a gimmick really makes the topic of the combination continue to rise.
However, with a large number of provocative and suggestive costumes and dance moves, the members have also been ridiculed and attacked by a large number of netizens.
Some people directly refer to them as people with chaotic private lives, calling them "rag combinations".
Jiaying has experienced countless insults and bad comments, and excessive sexiness has brought her a serious "dressing barrier".
Almost all of her private clothes are long clothes and trousers.
In daily life, she is very resistant to others staring at her body.
But until now, there are still some crazy people who give Jiaying private messages to sexual organ pictures through social software.
He even made a proposal to her to help her.
The hurt from the outside world made her feel like she was on her back.
Jiaying, who looks bright on the surface and is sought after by countless fans, actually has an income of only 10 million won (equivalent to less than 60,000 yuan) after 7 years of activities.
Not as much as she now earns by working part-time in a coffee shop.
Liu Shiluo, who debuted as the captain of the model group Nine Muses, has been debuting for 10 years, but his current savings are only 935,800 won (about 5,500 yuan).
You even need to rely on bank loans to survive.
When she first debuted, she had a delicate appearance and superior figure, and she was loved by fans because of her strong singing strength.
However, in the debut documentary, the scene where she was slapped by the company boss pushed her to the cusp of the storm.
Referring to the past, Liu Shiluo said:
"At that time, the company had to do what it wanted to do, and we had no choice at all."
She was also made a sexy girl group by the company, and she was asked to wear suspender stockings on the first stage.
Seeing himself in the bathroom being forced to dress like that, Shiro breaks down.
Considering that some members are still high school students who want to stop it with all their might, they are removed from the captainship by the company.
The nightmare experience and the pressure of reality caused her to suffer from depression and panic disorder at the same time.
The camera records a difficult night in Shiluo.
At a little late at night, she suddenly startled from her sleep.
I took a piece of pizza from the refrigerator and ate it, and after eating it, I slowly went to sleep again.
I woke up again at four in the morning and went to the living room to eat the cake.
Less than an hour later, i had another slice of pizza.
The next day, looking at the dishes and food scraps that were scattered everywhere, Shi Luo couldn't remember what had happened last night.
It turned out that because of the side effects of the drug, her memory had declined, and sometimes even caused confusion.
But she had just woken up and had to rely on drugs to relieve her panic.
As if nothing had happened, a new day began.
Today, Shi Luo is doing a program on YouTube to evaluate the MV of the girl group in English.
I hope that my video can bring some help to these girl groups who are not from large companies.
"There are more than 60 to 70 girl groups debuting in one year, and less than 1% of them can survive until the next year."
The prevalence of Hallyu culture has accelerated the star-making process of the Korean idol industry.
In the hearts of countless young boys and girls who love the stage, a sky city called "Dream" has been conjured up.
Many people enter entertainment companies as trainees as teenagers and begin to receive training courses such as singing and dancing instruments.
They sacrificed their studies, gave up their daily dating, and even gambled on their youth.
However, just to get a ticket to debut is already very difficult.
Last year, a set of data said that the number of Aidou trainees in South Korea has officially exceeded 1 million.
Among them, only 0.1% can sign legal agreements with major performing arts companies.
Among these people, the proportion of successful debut successes reached a staggering 3068:1.
But debuting does not mean success.
If the company does not have enough capital and strong resources as a support, the combination lacks a gimmick that can quickly attract attention.
In the fierce competition in the entertainment industry, it can only be a flash in the pan.
In the show, there is a member of the girl group THE ARK, and the group disbanded 3 months after its debut.
Youzhen, who excelled in singing, was forced to interrupt her acting career and could only rely on other jobs to support her daily life.
At the end of the day, she arranged three part-time jobs for herself.
Working part-time as a waiter in an Internet café;
After the end, I will be a vocal teacher for some music students who are preparing for the exam;
Near meal time, he rode a scooter to deliver food to people.
Looking at Youzhen, who radiated light while singing, the producer burst into tears.
Such a powerful singer has been buried, which makes people feel unwilling.
In this era of rapid consumption, even attention has become a scarce resource.
Compared with the superior strength and excellent works, the star-making factory pays more attention to whether it can attract the attention of the public more quickly and obtain more traffic.
A few months ago, Yami, the captain of Rocket Girl 101, made a recording public.
Xu Mingchao, the owner of the company, scolded her for being ugly and fashionable in front of employees at the meeting, and her words were full of ridicule and disdain.
Subsequently, it was pointed out that:
Artists are commodities, and they are talking about Yamy as a commodity rather than natural persons.
The glamorous idols on the stage are just commodities that are constantly being copied out of the assembly line of this industry for the entertainment capital market.
The life cycle of an idol is short-lived.
In recent years, a large number of talent shows have been pouring in a large number of new talents.
It is also a rapid wash to the audience's vision.
Entertainment capital where interests are paramount has loaned the dreams of countless young men and women.
However, after quickly exhausting the value of their traffic, they were abandoned.
Can this show, which claims to create a turning point in the lives of the sisters, really realize their dreams?
The answer to the future seems to have been revealed.
Such a reality is lamentable.
