In the end, the candidate for the first captain was handed over to another person, and the "sweeping captain" Sakurai Reika, who has the "waste gas" setting, was temporarily released.

From the temporary generation to the official confirmation, Sakurai Reika announced her graduation, the position of Nogizaka's captain has not changed.

When she announced her graduation, Akimoto Masashita, who was born in the same period, was replaced by her.

At this point, the captain has also changed from a "spawn team" to a "sister's team".

However, in Lee Hyun-cheol's opinion, there are actually many people who can compete in the position of captain in Nogizaka's first class.

Compared to Takahashi Nan's strength, Nogizaka's captain needs to be a gentle temper, more tactful and more emotionally literate.

You can properly handle your own relationship with your members and resolve conflicts between members.

Although Takahashi Nan did such a thing very well, the two groups were in completely different situations.

The suffering AKB encountered in the early stages is not comparable to that of Nogizaka.

After a family gathering in 2004, Lee Hyun-cheol, who was still young, once talked to Lee Soo-man about the changes in the idol girl group between Japan and South Korea.

The cultures of both countries were once deeply influenced by their sect leader China.

Therefore, in many aspects, there are common points that can be understood by the two countries, such as the entertainment industry.

When Kpop culture was booming in the early years, many brokerage companies in the Korean circle were exploring the future development direction of Kpop bit by bit.

Li Xiuman saw the disadvantages of the local market, and this piece of cake will never satisfy the sharing of artists in this country.

Moreover, all the nationally renowned artists gather in the increasingly crowded city of Seoul.

Compared to some people who have been famous for a long time, they still dare not take the pace of exploration towards the strange country overseas.

Li Xiuman made a bold decision and threw BoA and Dongfang Shen to RB for activities one after another.

His decision-making that is equivalent to exile and stocking makes BoA and Dongfang Shenqi grit their teeth and gradually become prosperous in RB.

From that time on, when Korean artists and agency companies were present, when their popularity could never break through the bottleneck period, or it was difficult for local careers to make any breakthroughs.

Overseas, the country RB has become the first choice.

But...the entertainment circles in Japan and South Korea, especially the idol circles, were almost on the same path during that period.

In the 1990s, South Korea was half of the female idol group ruled by SES, Fin.k.l, and Baby Vox, and this short-lived glory expired in the millennium with the expiration of the contract.

These girl group cameras that once became popular and brought huge income to their company were disbanded. Until the emergence of groups such as 20irls, Kara, and Girls' Generation, the Korean girl group market had a five-year stagnant period.

During this period, there are only a handful of girl groups that can be remembered by the public.

The RB idol circle at the same period also experienced the same period.

After the Kitten Club was disbanded for various reasons, RB's idol circle had an ice age for a period of time.

During this period, the term "idol singer" was officially split into the turning point of the concepts of "idol" and "singer".

What caused this phenomenon was to rewritten the normal Akimoto Yasushi, who was in the RB music circle and idol singer circle.

Compared with the period of the Korean girl group's stagnant period, few people will take the initiative to think about the fundamental reasons for the failure of the girl group during that period. Most of the relevant people simply feel that the luck is not good.

However, Akimoto Yasushi has been in the process of the failure of the Kitten Club, as well as questionnaires from the outside world and major offices, and later some media.

The reason for this was summarized in the interview was that people had a sense of gap and freshness towards idol singers at that time.

Because there are kitten clubs, good morning girls group, and even earlier Yamaguchi Momoe, Akina Nakamori is in front.

Many firms see "following the trend" in the girl group model created by Yasushi Akimoto. In other words, most people regard the girl group he created as a fast food.

Various kitten club versions B and C versions of girl idols.

The member structure, appearance, debut singles, and even the members' words and deeds are all done by them.

At that time, a lot of such combinations appeared on the ground in Tokyo.

Whether it is quality or creativity, they are the same, with only two differences: exactly the same and more similar.

It seems that the public can always see such a girl group wherever they go. Apart from their name and appearance, they have nothing different.

Not to mention idol girl groups, even movies or other things that happen to them, the public will feel aesthetic fatigue.

Until the birth of AKB48 in 2005.

RB's idol girl group circle has been following this way, repeatedly launching fast food products, and it requires quantity rather than quality.

All firms lack production experience and are completely rushing forward with a fever.

How many female idols are born within one day, and how many female groups are disbanded within one day.

Or they will be converted to underground, become photo idols, or go directly to film movies and repay debts.

Every time he compares the development history of idol circles between the two countries, Lee Hyun-cheol thinks that perhaps it is because of the idol group model created by Lee Soo-man.

He also went to the United States to study, witnessed Hollywood's advanced music culture, and returned to China to create S..M.

Later, HOT knocked on the door to the Korean idol world. These experiences all have the same similarities as those of the president of Gitakawa, the president of Johnnys.

But apart from that, Gitakawa's representative Johnny does not create a girl group, while S..M is the exact opposite.

Thinking of this, Lee Hyun-cheol couldn't help but recall one day in 2004, when he got a vacation from China, he went to the United States and met with Lee Soo-man who was on vacation there.

In fact, Li Xiuman's life was not easy at that time. S.M launched several boy and girl groups one after another, all of which ended in failure.

Some were hidden, some were simply disbanded, and some members stayed in the company and became teachers.

This year, Oriental God is ready to go and prepares to debut at BoA's concert at the end of the year.

The company's number one leader Kangta took on the responsibility alone, and the new girl group Tianshang Zhixi is not loved by the market.

In the future, whether the focus is on the boys or girls, S..M is in an unprecedented confusion.

Because in their opinion at that time, there was no company that could make money, and no one could reach the height before H.O.T was disbanded.

At the same time, the infighting of S..M's board of directors has entered a new stage.

Coupled with the routine investigation by the tax bureau at that time, some bad debts that S..M had hidden for many years were announced.

In desperation, Li Xiuman had to escape to the United States and transferred his family to the side.
