The South Korean girl group is known as a clear stream in the Asian entertainment industry, and has won the love of fans around the world with its youthful and beautiful image and unique style. Whether it's Girls' Generation, which swept the world ten years ago, or Black Pink, which now has countless fans around the world, each girl group has a charm and light that makes people shine.
The career of the girl group is like the bloom of youth, but it will eventually fade out with the passage of time and the emergence of new talents. So, if the girl group is really disbanded, without the support of the brokerage company, where will their future go?
In South Korea, there are many ways for unemployed men's and women's groups to re-enter the workforce, but perhaps the most surprising are the 30-year-old female idols who choose to work as female workers in factories.
Seo so-ji was once a member of the South Korean girl group Lovelyz, but she was forced to look for a new job due to the disbandment of the team in 2021. Recently, she was photographed working as a female worker in a factory in South Korea.
Despite the challenges of a career change, Suh persevered, showing her tenacity and perseverance.
This former female idol, once radiant and excellent singing and dancing skills, has now appeared in a new image - wearing overalls, messy hair, and working hard in the workshop.
This scene is undoubtedly a big surprise, and it also provokes us to think deeply about the current state of the Korean entertainment industry.
Korean entertainment culture has a high influence on the world, and the development of its idol industry is even more developed, and it has become one of the pillar industries in South Korea. It is worth mentioning that South Korea's ** support for its own entertainment culture is also very strong, and last year, when South Korea** visited the UK, it also deliberately brought the most popular girl group BLACKPINK.
The Korean Wave has swept the markets of East Asia, Southeast Asia, and even Europe and the United States, and in China, fans have praised it as "Korean entertainment culture".
I believe that many girls were crazy about those popular men's and women's groups in Asia when they were young, and they also dreamed of shining on the stage and becoming super idols.
In China, we may habitually think that idols are all glorious, but in South Korea, this is not always true. In the Korean entertainment industry, idols also have to bear huge pressure and challenges, and they also need to face their own shortcomings and shortcomings.
Therefore, idols are not only glamorous in appearance, but also include their talent, hard work and persistence.
South Korea's entertainment industry is thriving, with SM, JYP, and YG among the top three entertainment companies. These giants not only dominate the entertainment market in South Korea and even Asia, but also create countless classic boy and girl groups, winning the love of countless young people.
For example, groups such as EXO, NCT, and BLACKPINK that you are familiar with are the masterpieces of these three companies.
In the Korean entertainment industry, in addition to those three big companies, there are many small entertainment companies. These companies are also no slouch in terms of the number of new boy and girl groups they launch each year.
Seo Ji-so's Lovelyz is one of the representatives.
Although the Korean market is limited, not all groups can succeed in this market. A group has to start from scratch and go through a lot of financial and energy investment to be successful.
Moreover, not all groups can become popular overnight.
In South Korea, the idol industry is not out of reach, because there are a large number of idols in China, and it is not uncommon to meet celebrities.
Many Korean idols are also adapting to the environment, and they understand that being a star on stage is just one of their ways to make a living.
If you lose your star halo and can't make a living by singing and dancing, then you have to return to the life of ordinary people and engage in ordinary work. Regardless of the occupation, it is enough to make ends meet.
Seo Ji-so is 30 years old, she is used to the constant flashing lights and enthusiastic cheers on the stage, however, she is also able to become an unknown factory worker in the secular life.
Whether it is the excitement of the stage or the calm of the factory, she can deal with it calmly, because she knows that life is not only about lights and cheers, but also about countless possibilities.
Seo Ji-so said in an interview with ** that it was her decision after careful consideration. She believes that she prefers working in factories and selling clothes in pop-up stores to doing nothing, and that she is satisfied with being able to support herself despite the hard work.
This matter has caused heated discussions on the Internet, and Xu Zhixiu's response has received the support and understanding of many netizens.
Seo Ji-so, who worked as a game anchor and pop-up store clothing salesman after the disbandment of the girl group, sees the ups and downs of life very indifferently, and understands that the glory of the past has become a thing of the past, and life will continue to move forward in the future.
She is still very young, and there will inevitably be ups and downs in her life, and she needs to be patient and wait for the opportunity to rise again.
Indeed, celebrities are also ordinary people, and they have the right to choose how they work. As long as their way of working is legitimate, then what kind of work they do should not be questioned and criticized too much.
After all, everyone has their own dreams and pursuits, and as long as they work hard to achieve them, they deserve respect. Therefore, we should respect everyone's labor achievements and career choices, and not prejudice and discrimination against them because of their different occupations.
A netizen made a profound point that he believes that we should live our lives seriously and support ourselves, such a lifestyle is much better than those who sell their bodies or cling to chaebols.
He believes that earning money to eat through his own efforts is not a shame, but a respectable attitude towards life.
The sharp views of Korean netizens make people think deeply, in fact, many idols choose to engage in ordinary jobs after losing their jobs, which is not uncommon in Korean society, and can even be said to be the norm. ”
"Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" is a high-profile domestic variety show, which shows us that even if the "sisters" are getting older and no longer hot characters, they are still deeply respected and influential in China, and they live happily ever after in private.
Even when you are old, you can still sing and dance on stage, and this love and persistence makes people feel very worthy of respect and appreciation.
There is a variety show in South Korea that is very similar to China's "Sister Lang", called "Miss Back". Some female stars were invited to the show, but these female stars were all members of the girl group when they were young.
However, compared with Chinese actresses, their situation after disbanding the girl group is very different.
In the entertainment industry, the girl group is a symbol of youth and beauty, and when the youth is no longer and the singing is no more, the audience's attention will decline. Just like some members of the Korean girl group, after quitting the team, some became waiters, some became housewives, and some made a living by doing odd jobs, which shows the importance of youth to the girl group.
South Korea's men's group, like the women's group, is facing the problem of member changes. For example, an idol in a once smash hit boy group had to work in a barbershop after losing his job. ”
Life is not easy, the aura of the past has become a burden, the courage to abandon the past, steady progress, is not a kind of respectable bravery?
From this point of view, it is not difficult to find that there is a clear difference between the Korean idol industry and the Chinese idol industry.
Although South Korea is not large, the number of idols produced each year should not be underestimated. Some people are concerned about this, believing that the small size of the country is too small to support so many idols.
Since the Chinese market is much larger than the Korean market, many Japanese and Korean idols have chosen to enter the Chinese market in order to develop here.
In China, idols have a very high status and considerable income, so it is no wonder that some netizens appealed, "When will Chinese celebrities reduce their monthly income to 10,000?" That way, so that so many people will not be disappointed by it."
In China, even an outdated idol can find a way out, because the country offers a lot of opportunities to "make money quickly". As a result, we have seen the rise of talent shows that attract a large number of people to join them, and some even dare to claim that they want to be a singer after only learning to sing and dance for a few weeks.
In fact, their real purpose is just to show their faces in the show and increase the rate, so that they can have the opportunity to play small roles in film and television dramas in the future.
The members of the men's and women's groups, who originally relied on singing and dancing on stage to win popularity, are now devoting themselves to idol dramas, movies and variety shows, and there are not many people who can focus on stage performances.
What is the reason behind this phenomenon? Obviously, it is because it is faster to make money by filming idol dramas and recording variety shows, and the income from releasing songs and ** is even only one-tenth of the salary for filming an idol drama.
In this case, who cares about the "dream" that was mentioned in the first place?
With the rapid development of the online live streaming industry, it has become more convenient to make money through live streaming. A few hours of live broadcast, easy to bring goods, the income can reach a sky-high number that ordinary people can't reach in a lifetime.
1.In the idol industry, chaos occurs frequently, which arouses everyone's disgust. It's reasonable if it's a really powerful singer or actor who earns an income, but those "idols" who can make a lot of money with just one face and no strength are not the role models we expect.
2.The idol industry is in disarray, which has caused widespread dissatisfaction. It's okay if there are really powerful singers or actors who make money, but those "idols" who can earn a lot of money just by their faces and lack of strength are not our ideal "idols".
3.Recently, the chaotic situation in the idol industry has caused a lot of dissatisfaction. If a really powerful singer or actor can make money, it's fine, but those "idols" who can earn a lot of money just by their appearance and no talent are by no means the "idols" we expect.
4.The chaotic phenomenon of the idol industry has caused many people to be dissatisfied. It is reasonable to say that there are singers or actors who are really talented and learn to make money, but those "idols" who can make a lot of money with only one face and no strength are by no means the "idols" we want.
5.Recently, the chaos in the idol industry has caused dissatisfaction among many people. It is reasonable to say that a really powerful singer or actor makes money, but those "idols" who can make a lot of money with just one face and no strength are obviously not our ideal "idols".
Drawing on the experience of the Korean idol industry, we should rectify the culture of blind worship in the country, what is your view on this?
