Extra Story: Chapter 062 BoA
In South Korea, there are only a few people with high education in idol groups.
Because most people drop out of school before becoming idols, or practice making their debut while studying.
Often, one of the two can only be refined. Under the temptation of blueprints such as money and popularity, giving up your studies and becoming an idol. When facing the intersection of the future, you will choose to do something.
But this also leads to the fact that when idols are no longer accepted by the stage by the public one day, they can do nothing when they return to ordinary life.
The same situation happened in RB's idol circle.
Many people even retire directly after just going to the entertainment industry to experience the artist's life for a few years.
"After the disbandment of the Kitten Club, Yasuhiro Akimoto was not in a hurry to launch a girl group that could have a second Kitten Club.
Because he knew that the model that was created by him was completely drained by firms across Tokyo during that time.
If he re-takes the old path, he will not only not achieve the achievements he had during the activities of the Kitten Club, but he will not be able to lose that face himself."
"But Akimoto Yasushi has not given up on exploring and transforming the girl group, right?"
"Yes, he is the same as your father." Lee Hyun-chul raised his head and looked at Lee Soo-man.
"However, after the disbandment of the Kitten Club, there was no successful girl group on Tokyo's land.
I think it is also related to the trend of the Tokyo idol circle during that period.
At that time, Wenchun Club exposed the girl group under Akimoto Yasushi and even idols from other firms modeled on the Kitten Club girl group model.
Those gossip news that are eye-catching made fans realize that they have always felt that they are unattainable, and there are unacceptable bad habits behind the dazzling idols.
Take a bar, suck D, be incompatible with the middle-aged uncle, etc.
This huge sense of gap has made fans who love deeply turn into black. For a time, countless idol group cameras disbanded."
He picked up a piece of frisbee and threw it into the distance. He watched the dog, who was originally lying on the ground, immediately got up and chased after him. Lee Hyun-chul laughed softly.
"So there have always been similarities in the entertainment industry. The things in the RB idol circle have also existed in South Korea, but they are not without breaking the deadlock."
"Do you have any ideas?"
"I thought of some, but it's just a shallow concept at the moment.
Besides, I have no foundation in the RB entertainment industry and need a decision-maker to implement it for me. This person is Akimoto Yasushi.
I think his life will definitely not be easy."
In the past, whether it was RB idols or Korean idols, they basically revolved around "mysticism".
Some professionals call this type of idol "TV idol", that is, it can only be seen on TV.
Even if you are attending a concert in person, the agency will set up a safe area below the stage to prevent fanatical fans from doing excessive behavior towards the artist on the spot.
This behavior is good, but... the gap between the audience and the on-stage, this perspective of two worlds, makes those who realize that their favorite idols are just a few steps away, and they still cannot overcome this obstacle that blocks them.
So in the final analysis, no matter what method is used, even in that era, even if you could have face-to-face conversations with your idols, hugs and shake hands, the other party still maintained the noble appearance of being "unworldly". In the eyes of the public, this group is still sacred and inviolable.
The dissolution of the Kitten Club made Yasuhiro Akimoto realize that mysticism is no longer popular in the environment where the Internet is gradually developing.
At least in the eyes of those media, they do not believe that there are real "saints" idols in this world. No matter how well they are packaged, they are still an ordinary person after leaving that range. Ordinary people have all their flaws, and idols must have them too.
"The era of mysticism has passed. My father, not to mention Akimoto Yasushi, even the idol group of Kpop must also take the people-friendly route in the future."
"Friendly?" Li Xiuman said curiously, "Are you talking about like politicians?"
I usually go out to improve my support rate.
Or put down your posture during the election, go deep into ordinary people, and dilute your own aura as much as possible."
"That's right, but in this way, your own aura cannot be lowered. It will only shine even more."
Immediately afterwards, Li Xianzhe took out some of the rough concepts he had conceived and modified them a little.
"RB's theater culture is still very popular today. Some of the less famous and the firms behind it are not able to seek a bigger and broader stage for them. The theater has become the main venue for many third-tier and even below the third-tier and below artist activity gates.
This is very similar to the commercial performances we have here. In the opening ceremony of local traditional festivals, some fried chicken shops, restaurants, and department stores, merchants cannot invite well-known artists, and can only substitute for the second-hand ones whose fame and influence are not as good as those of those well-known artists.”
"If the RB idol market wants to move out of the current ice age and create an idol different from the past, it will become a must-do."
Innovation is an act that people in any field will do when they are deeply trapped.
However, the first person to try is often tremendous risky.
If you succeed, you will make the most profit and provide later generations with feasible routes, but you will also be envied by others.
If you fail, it may be difficult to turn over.
"For example, an idol who creates a people-friendly route?"
Seeing Li Xianzhe's full of information, Li Xiuman simply pulled his sleeves to the place to enjoy the cool air. The father and son sat on the recliner. As soon as they took off the slippers on their feet and were about to lie down, someone was holding the prepared drinks close.
"Teacher...and Taikui, this was prepared by the teacher's wife."
BoA, who was flying from RB, gently asked two portions of juice to be put down, and a pair of black eyes kept looking at the two of them, without any thought of leaving.
"What are you talking about with Teacher and Taekui just now? I'm so happy?"
Seeing the girl's curiosity slowly appear, Li Xiuman showed a kind smile.
"If you want to hear it, stay here. Your brother Taekwick and I talked about the RB idol circle."
"Idol?" BoA went to RB to work hard when she was thirteen years old. His popularity and popularity are naturally not comparable to the ones that later, who were regarded as "our BoA" by RB people, but they are also quite famous.
Moreover, after being active in the RB music circle for a while, BoA's understanding of the entertainment circle in this country is no worse than that in South Korea.
“RB hasn’t had a successful idol group for a while now.
However, there are many small firms and idol groups launched in many areas of RB, which are often active in underground theaters and some streets.”
