Back on the day of Girls' Generation's fan meeting, at the MBC TV station located in Sinam-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul, the weekly regular singing program "Music Center" was also being recorded intensively.
This time, Tara was not able to continue her luck in winning the first place on "The Show" a few days ago. Who made them bump into Yoo Hee-yeol, a senior in the music industry, so the defeat was understandable.
In fact, everyone at Tara knows very well that it was a bit of a fluke to get that one. Although the truth of the troll incident has been revealed, the gap of more than two years has already reduced the number of their Korean fans to almost zero.
Even if Rhodiola rosea is added in the future, the fan base is not enough compared to other groups. If it weren't for the large number of Chinese fans participating in the voting of "The Show", plus Zhonggui is very powerful, would they have been able to win?
One person can still say two things.
After all, today is a rare era of girl groups. In the past, there were second-generation girl groups represented by Girls’ Generation who are still able to compete. Later, there are third-generation girl groups such as Apink that are gradually gaining momentum, not to mention the debut of Red Velvet heralds the fourth generation.
Girl groups have begun to rise to prominence.
The Korean market is already so big. If Tara wants to return to the trend of winning the 13th place in the past, it will be difficult to achieve success, at least it will not happen overnight.
But it doesn't matter. From the perspective of the six people in Tara, it is of extraordinary significance to regain one of them in Korea, because it symbolizes innocence, and all the previous grievances and unwillingness can finally be completely released from that moment on.
Therefore, Eun-jung, So-yeon and Bo-ram, who were not at the scene that day, received a call afterwards and all burst into tears. Eun-jung especially felt regretful that she had missed this historic moment.
But she quickly regained her composure. Not only her, but the other Tara members also ignited their fighting spirit and got ready to go. It felt good to be redressed, but they were about to embark on a new journey.
The Korean version of "Little Apple" was originally prepared for Tara's debut in China. According to the known schedule, Tara will hold her first local concert since her debut on Christmas Day, and then they will go to Shanghai to participate in Tara's China tour.
The third stop is the Magic City Concert.
In addition, they also received an invitation from Mango Channel to participate in the "Global Chinese Spring Festival Gala" on the second day of the Lunar New Year next year. Once the trip is completed, it will be Tara's second time on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala after the 2013 Hui Province Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala.
Therefore, Tara's future focus is not on South Korea. How big is this market? Being able to become the first girl group to debut in mainland China has no regrets for Tara, only more expectations.
So as soon as he returned to the waiting room, Long Zaizi clamored to have a dinner party for barbecue. Although he didn't get one, there was at least one candidate. Unexpectedly, this suggestion immediately attracted disdainful looks from the other three people.
What good thing are you thinking about, barbecue? Wake up, you silly maknae, do you need to manage your body now during the active period? Believe it or not, the manager will give them a fitness gift package in just a few minutes.
It really means that Cao Cao Cao Cao is here. Long Zaizi was jumping to show his dissatisfaction to the Ernies. At this time, the manager opened the door and walked in, bringing them an unexpected news.
"Moragu Oppa, you said "Radio Star" invited us to be on the show?" Eunjing asked involuntarily, her eyes widening.
"Nai, the program team wants to produce a special episode for you. On behalf of nim, I asked you if you want to go." The manager seemed hesitant when he spoke.
Tara and the others immediately understood what the other party was struggling with. "Radio Star" came to them at this time, probably because they wanted to tell what happened that year on the show.
This was originally a good thing, but it also meant that they had to uncover the scars of unbearable memories in front of the camera. Their managers were worried that they would be burdened, so they did not easily agree to the program crew.
His concerns were by no means unfounded. At least Ji-yeon's expression clearly told everyone that she didn't want to go. Eun-jung and Hyo-min looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of hesitation in the other's eyes.
Suddenly Li Juli, who had been silent until now, spoke up, and she said categorically to her manager: "Oppa, please tell President Nim that we will attend."
"Mo?" x3
Enjing and the other three were extremely surprised, and they all turned their attention to Li Juli. Li Juli took a deep breath in the face of the puzzled looks of the team members, and then slowly spoke out her thoughts.
"Children, we debuted there five years ago. We have gone through a lot in the process, but we still have to keep walking. In this case, let's use this program as the starting point for Tara to set sail again, wouldn't it?
"
After hearing what Li Juli said, Enjing and others fell silent. After a moment, the three of them nodded in unison,
"Inside..."x3
The manager couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and a happy smile appeared on his face. In fact, he had consulted Soyan and Baolan about this matter first, and Suyan's explanation was similar to Juli's, but when she persuaded Baolan,
There are more reasons.
"Sapphire Ouni, don't forget that Zhou Jingxi once spoke for us on "Rodio Star". Now we can take this opportunity to sincerely say thank you to Zhou Jingxi."
------------------
What's interesting is that at the same time, there were people in the waiting room next to Tara on MBC TV station who were also talking about Zhou Kyung. Yes, they were the others from Apink except Park Chorong and Jung Eunji.
On the same day that Tara released "Little Apple", Apink also announced their fifth mini-album "Pink LUV". Its title song "LUV" coincidentally was also produced by Shinsadong Tiger.
Therefore, the new album became a hit as soon as it came out. Although Apink only got one candidate today, judging from the trend, it is only a matter of time before it gets one in the future.
In fact, what they started talking about was company gossip. A Cube was negotiating with Loen Entertainment for an overall acquisition. This matter had long been rumored within the company, and Apink, as its artist, would naturally pay attention to it.
After all, they are changing to a new owner, and no one is sure what will happen in the future. They are just chatting, and their topic suddenly turns to Zhou Jing. Of course, this is normal. Who let the company’s recent statement about Apink bring it to him?
.
But to be honest, everyone was very dissatisfied with that statement, and it was too deliberate. It was not necessary to force it, and it was not necessary at all. For this point, Yin Bumei was the most resentful.
No one is an idiot. If the company's current operation has nothing to do with the ongoing purchase price negotiation, I'm afraid even Wu Xiarong wouldn't believe it. It's just that everyone is suppressing laughter at Yin Bomei's endless complaints.
In the end, Jin Nanzhu couldn't stand it anymore and abruptly interrupted: "Bomeoni, you are not complaining about the company. I would say you are clearly resentful of not being able to get married with Zhou Jingxi, hehe.
..”
"Puch..."
Son Na-eun and Oh Ha-young couldn't help but laugh out loud on the spot, while Yoon Bo-mei was stunned and then her face turned red. In fact, her little idea was really revealed by Kim Nam-joo.
Earlier, when Yin Bumei heard that she had the opportunity to go to "We Knot" with Zhou Jing, a national hero, she immediately became very happy. The proud contract has not been finalized yet, and she has already chosen the CP name, "
Beautiful Couple".
As a result, when Jingjinglian was exposed as the "Beautiful Couple", her efforts were all in vain, and her little excitement during that period was also viewed as a joke by other members of the group, especially Jung Eunji.
Therefore, when Kim Nam-joo brought up the old matter again, Yin Bo-mei immediately quit. What are you doing, rebelling? Normally, Jung Eun-ji is enough, but she never expected that she would be ridiculed by Kim Nam-joo today. It was simply unbearable.
However, before she could stand there, the other three people suddenly put away their smiles and began to sit upright. Yin Pumei quickly realized that it was Longtele who was back.
"What are you talking about? You are smiling so happily." Pu Chulong asked with a cold face.
What happened? Our captain was called out alone by his manager Park Hyun-soo just now. Why did he behave like this when he came back? Everyone looked at each other and didn't know how to respond.
Is it because he was punished because he didn't get the first place? It shouldn't be. Everyone can see that Apink has gained momentum in his comeback this time. The next step is how many first places he can get in the end.
Fortunately, Park Chorong did not struggle with this issue. Seeing that the members were silent, she sighed silently, and then looked around but did not see Zheng Eunji, which made her expression become cold again.
"Where is Enchi? Where did she go?"
This question is much easier to answer. After hearing this, Yin Bumei quickly stood up and explained: "She went to answer the phone. It seems to be the kid from Minji."
"Oh..." Pu Chulong nodded noncommittally.
She just asked casually, this is the TV station and she doesn't have to worry about Zheng Eunji causing trouble, but what really bothers her is the fact that the company wants her and Eunji to meet Zhou Jing.
Previously at the company, Park Chorong did not make a clear statement about her manager Park Hyun-soo's proposal. He neither agreed nor refused, only saying that he would go back and think about it. Unexpectedly, Park Hyun-soo hurriedly came to her to ask for an answer only half a day later.
You must know that Park Chorong is a Pisces girl like Kim Taeyeon, and she has a sensitive heart. In fact, wouldn’t she understand things that all the members can guess?
But the company's behavior was a bit too eager. Could there be something else going on? Park Chulong was immediately wary. This was something that could never happen in the entertainment industry.
Looking at the group again, Jung Eun Ji and maknae Myung Ho claim to be fans of Zhou Kyung, while Yoon Bo Mi has been saying that man's name from time to time because of "I Knot", and Park Chorong is tired of it.
.
Come on, the group is on the rise right now. People even praise Apink as Girls' Generation's successor and they don't even know what their last name is. Wake up, they are relatives of Girls' Generation, not Apink, and even if they are the successor, they can't be connected.
Let all relatives and friends inherit it.
Besides, there are enough idol groups involved with Zhou Jing, why would Apink join in the fun? Park Chulong originally had a good impression of Zhou Jing, but now she just hopes that this name is not even remotely related to Apink.
In the dressing room, Park Chulong slowly took off her singing clothes with her thoughts on her mind. However, before she could put on her private clothes, someone pulled open the curtain. She was so frightened that she hurriedly covered her chest with her hands and almost got kicked out.
Fortunately, it was Zheng Eunji who came in. When Pu Chulong saw this, he could only retract his big white legs, and then said angrily:
"Ah, Zheng Eunji, what are you doing?"
"Onie, no, something happened."
"What's up?"
"Minji just called me, he said..."
"Um?"
"He said... in the video... the student Zhou Jing Oba saved..."
