"The next development direction that the company plans for us is mainly Japan, and this year's two Japanese orders are to test the waters, and there should be a lot of important trips there from next year. Therefore, our personal fixed variety shows will also be arranged to slowly exit one by one. ”

Sunny hesitated, Hyoyeon's loss was clearly written on her face, so she decided to say something substantial to comfort her.

Before Taeyeon and Jessica returned, Sunny was the oldest of the six girls present, and as an older sister, she felt compelled to do something about it.

Her uncle is Lee so-man, the founder of S.M. and the current artist director, and although Girls' Generation is the current president Kim Young-min, Sunny can also learn about the development strategic plans of some of the company's top management through her uncle's channels.

Last month, a Japanese single was released, which is actually the Japanese version of "Genie" ("Say Your Wish"), and the second Japanese single that will be released this month is the Japanese version of "Gee".

South Korea's domestic entertainment market is small and competitive, and the domestic public has deep expectations for performing arts stars to go abroad to spread Korean culture. Due to these two factors, it is a long-awaited trend for top Korean stars to go international, and Girls' Generation is no exception.

The predecessor of Girls' Generation, JYP's girl group WonderGirls has not made good progress in trying to open up the North American market, but it has shaken its original foundation in South Korea, and it has gradually become a feeling of decline.

After all, as the entertainment center of the world, the American entertainment industry has a rich heritage, bringing together top talents from all over the world, and it is not easy to get a piece of that market.

S.M., on the other hand, is much more sober and pragmatic than JYP, firmly occupying a strong position in the Korean entertainment market while continuously trying to expand into the Japanese market.

After the nine consecutive championships of "GEE", Girls' Generation has firmly established the No. 1 position in the girl group in South Korea. Therefore, the focus of their next strategic development will gradually shift to Japan, which is basically an inevitable result.

Because of the poor response, Yuna's fixed variety show "Birth of a Family 2" ended early on July 11; Taeyeon's fixed variety show "Riding the Victory and Long Drive" also withdrew after the 26th episode broadcast on August 3 due to the change of MC due to the program revision; a little earlier than the two of them, Sunny and Yori also filmed the parting album of "Youth Undefeated" on June 11;

Tomorrow, October 2nd, MBC TV will broadcast the 26th episode of "We Are Married" Yuan Lang and his wife (Jung Yong Ho, Seo Hyun), the record of the longest number of episodes of this show so far is the Adam couple (Zhao Quan, Sun Jiaren), and the share of tomorrow's broadcast is the 46th episode, but the countdown is almost about to start. And Xu Xian's pair, if nothing else, has at least gone through half of the journey. As soon as the plan to enter Japan is officially launched, the forgiveness couple may get off at any time.

After all, if the focus of Girls' Generation's development moves to Japan, it will be unrealistic to often rush back to China to shoot fixed variety shows or something.

"Japan...... "Hyo-buchi muttered, his eyes involuntarily looking in Xiuying's direction.

"Ah, Kim Hyo-yeon, what do you think I do?"

According to the Korean age algorithm, Taeyeon, who was born on March 9, 8/9, and so-young, who was born on February 10, 90, are seven of the same age. Due to the fact that she was born in the early month (before March 1), Xiuying, who is the seventh in line, can speak plain language with her six sisters, which can be regarded as the same age and death.

And Yuna in '90 and Seo Hyun in '91 didn't have members of the same age as him, so they could only obediently call Ernie to say honorifics.

Therefore, although Xingqi Xing, Xing Xing Xing Jiu does not look much worse, in fact, Xiuying's aura in the combination is far stronger than Yuna and Xu Xian.

Suyoung debuted in Japan a long time ago as a Japanese-Korean double girl group, and it didn't take long for her to disband. Later, he returned to South Korea and worked as a trainee for several years before debuting again as a member of Girls' Generation.

Although that page has long since become a turning page of history for her, the members still feel uncomfortable when they think of their own habits when they mention Japan.

"Don't get me wrong, if our development focus really shifts to Japan, Xiuying, you will definitely become a member of the company's strong promotion, right?" Xiao Yuan didn't hide it well, and the faint admiration in his eyes was always a little lingering, "At least you can't run away as the team's external spokesperson." ”

The reason is simple, naturally it is a language problem. Although in order to debut in Japan, every member of the team is making up for Japanese, but compared to Xiuying, who has debuted once in Japan, the level of Japanese is naturally far inferior.

Just as if the team were to go to North America to explore the market, the spokespersons would definitely be chosen from the Korean-American Jessica and Tiffany, or simply let the two take turns to serve as the spokesperson.

This was originally planned by S.M. when it created the Girls' Generation team.

In this group, Jessica and Tiffany, who grew up in the United States, and Xiuying, who made their debut in Japan, were the foreshadowing of the company's preset to develop these two markets from the beginning.

Even in order to make up for the shortcomings of the Chinese entertainment industry, she was specially sent to the Celestial Empire and completed six months of intensive language training.

S.M.'s strategic layout of the Girls' Generation group is like a big game of chess, and it is no fluke or accident that this company can firmly hold the position of Korea's number one entertainment company.

Before this, Xiuying's popularity in the team was not high, and she belonged to the bottom few like Hyoyeon.

Needless to say, Taeyeon, Yoona, and Jessica, who are among the top three in the team, are the first echelon. The captain and first lead singer Taeyeon can get a lot of food with a few solo songs alone, even in the lowest period of the team after her debut, she is one of the only two members who can maintain exposure with an itinerary; Yoona, as the face of the team, can always stand in the center and become the focus of the audience when choreographing, and she is also an acting actor, and she filmed a TV series as a heroine early, and it is difficult to think about whether she is popular; As for Jessica, she was very popular before her debut, and promoted "Genie" in June last year When dyed blonde hair, the effect was extraordinarily good, causing the popularity to skyrocket.

Tiffany is the leader of the second echelon, because of the signature smiling eyes and beautiful legs are very topical, and the unique voice is also very recognizable, in the early days of his debut, he was pushed by the company, and once became a member of the top three in popularity, and then he was gradually overtaken by Jessica, but in the end he didn't lag much behind.

This year, due to the influence of the two variety shows "Youth Undefeated" and "We Are Married", the popularity of Sunny, Yuli, and Seo Hyun has also increased significantly, and they have become members of the first echelon after Tiffany.

Xiuying and Hyoyeon are the third echelon with relatively low attention.

Now that I'm finally going to enter Japan, it's clear that Suyoung's popularity season is coming. The loss and anxiety in Xiaoyuan's heart are also a natural thing.

As a trainee together, debuted together, and struggled side by side to the current nine sisters, the others are gradually on the right track one by one, and they have a faint tendency to fall behind, how can she not be lost, how can she not be anxious?

"Oh, that's what you're talking about!" Xiuying pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled reluctantly, "It's not that you don't know, I don't care too much about this." ”

She is right, in the team of Girls' Generation, she was born in a privileged family environment, and she is the one with the best family background. The side effect is that Xiuying can almost be regarded as the "most unmotivated" member of this team, and when the other sisters are trying to strive for their own goals, she is more of a cold sidestander, silently maintaining her detached position.

No fighting, no grabbing.

Of course, that's not to say that she doesn't work hard enough, and she's never the one to be a drag. It's just that she is purely enjoying the experience of the idol career brought to her by the team of Girls' Generation, and the resources arranged by the company are assigned to her, and she earnestly completes them, and she never cares about what is not assigned to her, let alone deliberately fight for something.

She's always been the most atmospheric in the group.

Although in various variety shows, according to the image positioning designed by the company, Xiuying has always shown a big grin and heartless appearance. But in fact, her IQ and EQ are counted among the nine girls, and it is easy to see through Xiaoyuan's careful thinking.

Of course, she really wanted to comfort Xiao Yuan, but she could clearly see that Xiao Yuan's current embarrassing situation was not a problem that could be solved in a few words. Does it make sense to say some empty words in generalities?

So in addition to her, Sunny, another member of the team with high emotional intelligence, came forward again.

"Hyo-yeon, popularity comes and goes like the seasons, and one day your season will come. ”

Sunny and Suyoung seem to be two poles in the team on the surface, one is the shortest, the other is the tallest, the other is the most turbulent, and the other is the flattest (is that good or evil), but they seem to be very different.

In fact, in many ways, the two of them are quite similar.

Sunny's father, Lee so-yong, is the elder brother of the company's director Lee so-man, and also owned his own entertainment company and its idol. Although Lee's Starworld company collapsed due to poor management, Lee Xiuyong himself made a fortune after going to the United States to engage in the oil business.

Among the nine members of Girls' Generation, Su-young is undisputed in the first place in terms of family history, followed by Sunny.

For similar reasons to Su-young, Sunny is also one of the "unmotivated" members of the team.

To put it simply, neither of their families refers to their daughters to earn money to support their families, so they have this confidence.

Suyoung had failed to make her debut as a Routeφ group in Japan, while Sunny had been training for nine years at her father's entertainment company to debut as a Tintop group, but the company was stranded due to the company's collapse.

The duo's idol careers were not smooth sailing from the beginning. Perhaps because of the setbacks they experienced early, both of them have very high emotional intelligence. The so-called "wealth and blessing will enrich my life, hardship and hardship, and Yuru will become successful", both of them can be regarded as all.

In addition, both of them are the youngest daughters of the family, Suyoung has a sister, and Sunny has two.

In addition, Sunny is the third oldest member of the team, while Suyoung is seventh, which happens to be the third from the bottom. So Sunny has two older sisters and six younger sisters in the team, and Suyoung is the numbers reversed.

If there is a difference between the two, it is that Sunny's family has experienced the crisis of the company's collapse, and it may be because of this that she has a more proactive attitude towards the world, and she has many friends on and off the team.

According to the image positioning given by the company, sunny on the stage or in front of the camera is basically a coquettish and cute living treasure, but in real life, sunny is actually a steady, kind, and caring person, like a sister next door.

And Xiuying has a little bit of the pride of the sky. She is more direct, she will not say things against her heart, nor will she cater to others, and sometimes she has a feeling of being a little open-mouthed, so she has earned the nickname "Cui Dazui".

So both of them can see Xiao Yuan's emotions and the crux of the problem. But Suyoung is silent because she doesn't want to talk empty words, and Sunny will still try her best to appease Hyoyeon's emotions, no matter what she says, whether she can solve the actual problem.

P.S. The previous chapter omitted Yuna's fixed variety show "Birth of a Family 2".
