Episode 90: The Inside Story of Sexy Style

This is the Urheart coffee shop in Cheongdam-dong, where Jung Hee-yi and Lee Hyo-ri are going to be interviewed by the Chosun Ilbo today, and the well-mannered man in his 30s with eyes in front of him is the reporter in charge of the interview.

"Anihasse, Lee Hyori XI, Jung Hee-yi XI, I'm Cha Junbong, a reporter from Chosun Ilbo, please take care of me when we meet for the first time. ”

"Anihasse, reporter Cha Junfeng, I'm Lee Hyori (Jung Hee-yi), I'm sorry for you today. ”

After the salute, the photojournalist took some photos of Lee Hyo-ri and Jung Hee-yi, and then began the formal interview.

"Lee Hyo-ri XI's solo debut album this time has done very well, and even the coffee shop is playing "10Minutes". How does Lee Hyori feel about XI?" Cha Junfeng smiled and pointed to the counter, usually the first few questions will be more relaxed, so as not to be nervous when the interviewee comes up, and Lee Hyori is the protagonist after all, so the first question is of course to ask Lee Hyori.

Li Xiaoli smiled shyly and waved his hand, "You have won the award, just call me by my name, you are welcome." This time, it is really thanks to everyone's love that I have such a good result, of course, I also want to thank Xiyi XI, if it weren't for Xiyi XI's help, the results would not be so good. ”

Zheng Xiyi laughed, "Sister Xiaoli is too modest, what does it have to do with me for the album's good results, I don't have a word of lyrics." ”

Che Junfeng also laughed, "It sounds like Zheng Xiyi XI is a little dissatisfied, is this complaining?"

Zheng Xiyi hurriedly shook his head, "Ani, Ani." The car reporter is really a reporter, this can also be misinterpreted. I'm not full of five notes, and my singing is basically at a terrible level. ”

Che Junfeng asked curiously, "How did you get this level?"

Lee Hyo-ri seemed to remember something, and he laughed with a puff, Zheng Xiyi smiled embarrassedly, and Cha Junfeng immediately caught the little ambiguity between the two, "It seems that there is a story here, is it a story with Hyo-ri XI?"

Li Xiaoli waved his hand busily, "Ani, it has nothing to do with me, it's Bao'er and Xiyi." ”

"Oh? It's still related to Bao'er XI, can you tell me about it?"

Lee Hyo-ri looked at Zheng Xiyi, "Can you say that?"

Zheng Xiyi spread his hands and showed that it didn't matter, and Li Xiaoli said with a smile: "Bao'er once called me, saying that she occasionally met Xiyi when she was in South Korea some time ago, and the two chatted very speculatively, so Bao'er invited Xiyi to eat and sing. ”

Zheng Xiyi hurriedly added, "It's Bao'er who invited a lot of her trainee juniors, I'm just a rubber." ”

Che Junfeng nodded, "Xiyi XI, don't worry, I will note that not only Bao'er XI and Xiyi XI, but also many trainee juniors will go with you." ”

Everyone laughed.

Li Xiaoli finally stopped laughing, and continued: "When it came to singing, Xiyi kept hiding in the corner, Bao'er asked Xiyi why he didn't go up to sing, and Xiyi said that others need the most money to sing, but I sing badly." ”

Che Junfeng laughed and pointed at Zheng Xiyi, "I didn't expect Xiyi XI to be so humorous, Xiyi XI has never acted in comedy before, and now I know that Xiyi XI is hiding a hand." ”

Zheng Xiyi nodded, "I'm actually very annoyed, the scripts sent to me are all literary films, bitter love films, youth films, and even action movies and horror movies, but not a single comedy, the car reporter must help me promote it this time, I can really act in comedy." ”

Cha Junfeng smiled and nodded, and seeing that the atmosphere was almost relaxed, he began to turn to the theme, "The style of Xiaoli XI's SOLO album this time is very bold and sexy, can you tell me what the reason is?"

Li Xiaoli turned his head to look at Zheng Xiyi again, and then stretched out his hand to point, "This style is actually set by Xiyi, so the car reporter can ask him." ”

Che Junfeng looked at Zheng Xiyi with some surprise, Zheng Xiyi smiled bitterly, "I just suggested, I really didn't make it, of course, in the end, the DSP adopted my suggestion really flattered me." At the time, I just said it casually, but I didn't expect Sister Xiaoli to go back and tell the company about it, and DSP finally chose the sexy style as the style of Sister Xiaoli's SOLO album. ”

"Then why did Zheng Xiyi XI suggest that Xiaoli XI take a sexy style at that time?"

"At that time, I just watched Sister Xiaoli worry because of the uncertainty of SOLO's style, and as a younger brother, I wanted to solve my sister's troubles, but in fact, it was just to relieve her impatient mood, so I just said it casually, and it was not a suggestion. Zheng Xiyi paused, and Che Junfeng nodded encouragingly and motioned for him to continue.

"I don't know much about the Korean music scene, but I grew up in the United States and went to school in Huaxia, so I have experienced the difference between Eastern and Western pop music styles. Zheng Xiyi said slowly while thinking, "The style of Chinese pop music used to be very conservative, but after the opening up, I learned a lot of experience from Hong Kong and Taiwan, such as rock and jazz styles were slowly developed after the opening up. When I was in school in China, the school was all about rock and school folk songs, so I also experienced a process of a conservative music market slowly integrating with international standards and moving towards a diversified music market. I have noticed that as China has become more and more open, people's acceptance of pop music styles has also become more and more open. When Sister Hyo-ri came to me, the World Cup had just ended, and I told Sister Hyo-ri that in the past, Korea's pop music style tended to be conservative, but after this Korea-Japan World Cup, so many fans from all over the world came, and the Korean people had direct contact with cultural styles around the world on a large scale for the first time, including fashion and music, which was actually an eye-opener. I don't know if the car reporter has noticed, but the clothes of European and American fans, especially female fans, are very sexy compared to the street fashion in South Korea before the World Cup. ”

Cha Junfeng recalled for a moment, nodded, Zheng Xiyi took a sip of coffee, and then asked: "Before the Korea-Japan World Cup, if there were Korean women dressed like European and American female fans, everyone would be surprised when they walked on the street, right?"

Cha Junfeng nodded again, and Zheng Xiyi asked again: "After the Korea-Japan World Cup, many Korean women wear the same sexy clothes on the street as European and American female fans, don't you think it's strange?"

Cha Junfeng understood what Zheng Xiyi meant, "What does Xiyi XI mean that after the Korea-Japan World Cup, Koreans' acceptance of pop culture has increased?"

Zheng Xiyi nodded, "Reporter Che is really engaged in culture, and he understood what I meant so quickly." That's what I said to Sister Hyo-ri, there was no sexy style in the past because the traditional Korean cultural style was relatively conservative, but after the South Korea-Japan World Cup opened up its eyes, everyone has become accustomed to walking on the street like European and American female fans, which shows that everyone has begun to accept the sexy style. Since everyone can accept sexy clothes on the street, and now there are no sexy singers on the Korean pop music stage, and Sister Hyo-ri's own conditions are met, isn't this sexy style exactly for Sister Hyo-ri's SOLO?"

Che Junfeng lightly clapped his hands twice, "I didn't expect Xiyi XI to be so researched on pop culture trends, I heard that Xiyi XI was a fashion terrorist before I saw Xiyi XI, but now that I look at it, Xiyi XI knows a lot about pop culture, why is it rumored to be a fashion terrorist?"

Zheng Xiyi laughed, "This question has nothing to do with today's theme, and today's protagonist should be Sister Xiaoli, and if I continue to talk about it, it will be noisy." ”

Che Junfeng came to his senses at this time, he was actually taken crooked by Zheng Xiyi, and hurriedly apologized to Li Xiaoli, Li Xiaoli smiled back, "Reporter Che is not polite, Xiyi has always been very able to speak, especially able to divert the topic, and can always lead us to forget what the theme is." ”

Che Junfeng raised his hand, "Certification, I also learned it just now." So let's get back to the topic, what did Hyo-ri XI think about sexy style at the time?"

Lee Hyo-ri's smile slowly faded, "I was very worried, well, yes, very burdensome. On the one hand, I think what Xiyi said is very reasonable, and on the other hand, I feel very risky, after all, when I was with my sisters before, I was pure and romantic, and the style of a young girl was so big that it suddenly changed so much, not to mention whether the fans could accept it, I myself was a little unacceptable. Another key is sexy, I really don't know what it means to be sexy, I feel like I can't do it when I watch the MV of European and American female singers, and I really don't have any self-confidence after watching it. ”

Che Junfeng also nodded with a solemn face, "If you think about it, everyone will feel very confused, so how does Xiaoli XI solve these psychological barriers?"

Li Xiaoli pointed at Zheng Xiyi, "I really can't help it, I went to ask him, but he was scolded very angrily." ”

Zheng Xiyi covered his face and fell on the sofa, Che Junfeng laughed, "Xiyi XI is really ...... Heck, I can't even find the right words to describe it. ”

Zheng Xiyi covered his face with one hand and stretched out his hand and swayed again and again, he laughed silently but trembled, Li Xiaoli glared at him hatefully, and after a few seconds, he picked up the pillow in his arms and threw it over, "Ah! dare to laugh, I haven't calculated this account with you yet!"

Zheng Xiyi finally held back his laughter, picked up the pillow and respectfully sent it to Li Xiaoli, Li Xiaoli was very impatient and snatched the pillow and hugged it into his arms, turned his head and simply ignored him.

Cha Junfeng smiled and asked, "How did Xiyi XI solve the psychological obstacle of Xiaoli XI in the end?"

Zheng Xiyi lowered her head and laughed twice, "I was really angry at the time, I'm not a girl, she came to me and asked me what sex appeal is, I'm not an adult yet, NUNA!"

Cha Junfeng laughed, Lee Hyo-ri lowered his head embarrassedly and covered his face with his hands, and Zheng Xiyi continued: "At that time, Sister Hyo-ri came to me with Madonna's MV and asked me if I was sexy like this. European and American culture itself is very open and receptive to sexy styles, so Madonna's sexiness with strong sexual innuendo is no problem in Europe and the United States, but it is definitely not possible in Korea. Korean traditional culture is very conservative, even with the culture shock brought by the world's top international events such as the Korea-Japan World Cup, it is impossible for Koreans to accept the sexy style like Madonna all at once, we must find a balance between traditional and modern culture, a kind of sexy, healthy sexiness that can be accepted by Koreans. ”

Che Junfeng nodded thoughtfully, "Xiyi XI is right, I can't accept Madonna XI's style a little bit, I always think it's too explicit, Xiyi XI said that the concept of healthy sexiness is very interesting, and then what?"

"I'll leave my sister to Sister Hyo-ri. My sister grew up in the United States, and she was educated in both Korean and Chinese traditions, and she also studied East Asian cultural studies in college. ”

Che Junfeng turned his head to look at Lin Xiyin, who was sitting at another table, "It is indeed the most perfect candidate." ”

He turned his head to look at Lee Hyo-ri, "But now there is a lot of controversy in the media and on the Internet about Hyo-ri XI's sexy style, which has caused a lot of social impact, what does Lee Hyo-ri XI think of these controversies himself?"
