In the final episode of "Girls PLANET 999", the idols who continue to drift through life, unable to debut, are on audition shows... The whereabouts of the "undeveloped idols" have caused fans to be anxious.
The K-POP talent show Girls Planeet 999 gathered 33 people and 99 people from China, Japan and South Korea. October 22 finally ushered in the final return, the debut members of the 9-member girl group Keep1er have been determined.
The project was aimed at the birth of the "Global Group", and after the audience voted successfully to determine the members, the debut of these 9 people caused criticism. The kep1er members were selected as members of Kim Chae-hyun, Xiuning Baye, Choi You-jin, Kim Do-juan, Seo Yong-eun, Jiang Ruixu, Esaki Hikaru, Sakamoto Maibai and Shen Xiaoting. It consists of 6 Koreans, 2 Japanese, and 1 Chinese member.
Two of the most notable members are. One of them could be Choi You-jin, who served as the leader of the group.
Now 25 years old, she has been active in the 6-piece CLC group for 6 years since 2015. Told by his affiliated brokerage company to stop CLC activities, Cui Youzhen participated in the draft this time and directly joined Kep1er.
This reminds people that in the IZ*ONE born in the talent show "PRODUCE48", in addition to the 3 members of the AKB48 group such as Miyazaki Misaki to join IZONE for a limited time, Kwon Enfei, who has debuted in the past, has also successfully debuted again, just like the team transfer in professional sports, compared to other countries, there is almost no precedent for idols to join new groups uninterruptedly.
This is very different from Japan's Janis, AKB48 and other programs that have been promoting the longevity of the combination, and it is very challenging to solve the employment of Aidou by letting the old members quit to participate in the draft debut. To improve the mobility of talents to drive the activation of the entire K-POP.
There is really another debut to prove that the K-POP talent show is the safety net that Aidou once again challenges the entertainment industry. She became a presence that opened up new possibilities.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11" > Baye, who debuted with his brother's popularity, was looked at harshly</h1>
Another striking one is Hunin bayeye. But unlike Cui Youzhen, the audience's attention to her at first was not positive. She already faces a big headwind.
Bayeux barely noticed during the audition and did not hold key positions such as killing part, lead singer or captain. Despite this, she went on to get the votes and finally improved her rankings and became a member of Kep1er. It is also the most vote-cast in the finals.
The reason is that her brother is a member of THE TOMORRO WXTO GETHER (TXT) BY HUGH NINGKAI. This result is undoubtedly supported by my brother's fans. That is, organizing the voting played a role.
The voting method has also become a big tailwind for Xiuning Baye to win. During the voting period, the system can only vote once a day, which is to stimulate the fans' "enthusiasm for taking the opportunity to vote". However, this approach can also strongly reflect the "enthusiasm" of fan organizations.
Bayeux became a debut member, and there are benefits to attracting the interest of TXT fans to Kep1er. But this also caused strong dissatisfaction among the fans of the eliminated members. Because, the votes with an debut position are occupied by the votes of the organization that rely on blood relations. Of course, through due process, she did become a member of Kep1er, but it is not difficult to imagine that she will be quite harshly watched in the future.
In fact, some disgruntled South Korean fans demanded her withdrawal and submitted a petition to the Blue House. Although this is only a small phenomenon, it has already ignited the fire. In such a situation, the only thing that Baye needs to do in the future is a performance that can calm the criticism.
Kep1er, which flaunts a global portfolio, is of course also considering activities in Japan and China. In 2019, KP exports accounted for about 70% in Japan and Chinese mainland alone (including Taiwan and Hong Kong). Even though BTS and BLACKPINK, which bring most of their exports, are rejected by the Chinese mainland market, East Asia is still the main market for K-POP in North America.
Perhaps anticipating this, two Chinese members of Seventeenen, who were active in South Korea the day before, on September 1, suddenly returned home on the grounds of the epidemic. In "Girls Planet 999", the 27th participant of the Chinese team also suddenly withdrew on the grounds of physical discomfort. Girls Planet 999 also can't avoid international political conditions.
The reason why Korean entertainment companies can continue to gain a foothold in the Chinese market is that on the one hand, the Korean entertainment industry has fully become an export industry in China, and on the other hand, it also has its own geographical conditions.
South Korea (Korean Peninsula), which is surrounded by powerful powers, has been invaded many times and is currently divided. Among them, Chinese and Japanese public opinion in East Asia has almost reached a consensus - believing that the export of South Korea's cultural information industry has the "soft power" to win the public opinion of other countries.
In any case, after all, the draft is not a choice of professional singers but a popular vote. You can't just choose people who sing and dance well. Of course, there are many elderly people who have not debuted as trainees, so it is natural that this kind of program has immature places.
Everyone is arguing about the unfairness of voting, and standing on the stage, they can finally debut as professional entertainment industry professionals by voting. Because this is an opportunity that the other 8 members have not been able to grasp, they do not want to be forced to disband because of the riots in Xiuning Baye. Anyway, I hope these 8 people can be recognized for their strength! Hopefully, don't just mention the topic of someone's brother! Moreover, I hope that the excellent trainees who are qualified to enter it will also have a good future.
