If East Africa is hell, then East Asia is paradise, after all, there is no guarantee of life, let alone dignity, well, the two cannot be the same.
South Korea is an entertainment powerhouse, its entertainment industry is very developed, so the influence of artists is huge, it can be said that the life of the entertainment industry and the lives of citizens are closely related.
Several major events that have occurred in the Korean entertainment industry this year have a deep impact, in addition to the retirement of "National Idol" and "Asian Pop King" An Yuxi, that is, "XMAN" has become a variety show myth, and the two MCs Liu Zaishi and Jiang Hudong successfully became gods and became well-deserved "national MC".
"XMAN" has achieved two MCs, and also pushed the popularity of Kim Jong Kook and Yoon Eun Hye to the peak, of course, the two classic lines, especially Kim Jong Kook's "affectionate cover" to Yoon Eun Hye, this picture is definitely the most powerful, talked-about, and enviable aesthetic picture in South Korea's history.
Loveline is a specially arranged plot in variety shows to attract the interest of the audience, and the case of Kim Jong Kook and Yoon Eun Hye has become the most successful model, and since then, this kind of plot has almost been used badly in various variety shows, but it is still tried.
There is also the turbo retro frenzy caused by the toxic brainwashing of "love_is" in the third issue of the Thai special in "XMAN", these three things seem to be unrelated, but they all have one thing in common, that is, An Yuxi.
After Ahn Woo-seo left, the entertainment industry in South Korea has not changed much, if anything, it is Kim Jong Kook who has taken over the baton of the music industry.
In the face of the public's enthusiasm for his greatest merit - voice, and at the same time as one of the "two men", the only remaining "lyrical king", Kim Jong Kook also began to work harder, much more industrious than Ahn Woo used to be.
In his third series, Kim Jong Kook shows confidence in his true self, and the goal of "doing my best" is still clear in his busy schedule, and Kim Jong Kook's third series is a continuation and sublimation of "a man".
The feelings expressed in the title song "Standing Still", silently waiting and watching a woman's lyrics subtly echo his participation in "XMAN", which has a huge effect.
Although imaginary, the way Kim Jong Kook stares at Yoon Eun-hye is enough to be reminiscent of the two songs "A Man" and "Standing Still", making his beautiful voice known in a positive way.
It also reminds people of the closing remarks of the two MCs in the last issue of the Thailand special.

"love_is Yoon Eun-hye." It is even more straightforward to express the relationship between the two, which makes people can't help but be amazed.
Kim Jong Kook's strong comeback also made various brokerage companies nervous, and began to prepare new projects, ready to snatch the cake left by Ahn Woo-seo after leaving, and fill the gap in the market.
Without An Yuxi's admiring opponents, now everyone is also hot, and it's time to show off their skills.
An Yuxi himself probably didn't expect that his voice change period would actually promote the vigorous development of Korean songs.
In fact, An Yuxi's strength at the beginning not only suppressed other brokerage companies to the point that they couldn't raise their heads, but also suppressed S.M companies, so that when An Yuxi was active, TVXQ, Bao'er, and Kangta all went abroad...
So after An Yuxi left, S.M Company also broke out with shocking strength.
TVXQ made a successful debut in Japan, and quickly became popular and became a first-class idol group.
Heavenly Zhixi debuted in South Korea and was also very popular, especially "I Don't Want to Grow Up" adapted by An Yuxi himself, and the songs performed by the group are even more unique, which makes people can't help but be shocked by An Yuxi's arranging strength.
As the first Chinese singer to debut in South Korea, Zhang Liyin, her debut song is also called "Timeless", and when you see the title, you can think of the song in An Yuxi's second album!
It was "Timeless" sung by 2AK, a temporary group formed within S.M., and the group became a legend after Ahn Woo-seo left. I heard that someone has founded a club with more than 500,000 registrations, which is not a regular fan group, but purely a complaining community, because these four people not only represent the highest singing skills since the establishment of S.M, but also the highest appearance, which is what fans talk about the most.
Some people even say that their group is the strongest group in South Korea's history. It's just that with An Yuxi's retirement, it has also become a swan song.
2AK doesn't say much about it, Zhang Liyin's words, everyone is familiar with it, it was the girl from China who sang the song "Myth" with An Yuxi, the girl from China who sang well and looked good.
At the beginning, S.M Company also released the news that the song "Timeless" would be written and composed by Kenzie, the top female composer of S.M Company, and An Yuxi would give Zhang Liyin a feat. An Yuxi always spares no effort to promote the juniors of his company, which is already a well-known thing, with An Yuxi's current popularity, as long as he gets a little bit of it, he can be popular, there is no doubt about it. At the same time, it also makes people look forward to their cooperation again, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in An Yuxi.
So the one who gave Zhang Li Yin Feat became Kim Jun-so, a member of 2AK, although it was not Ahn Woo-seo feat, but Ahn Woo-seo also gave her a gift, that is, the Chinese arrangement and lyrics of the new song "Timeless"! It was sent in August, which is simply a gift for Zhang Liyin and S.M!
Sure enough, it was also a great success.
Especially after TVXQ ended its busy activities in Japan, it returned to South Korea, because of its success in Japan and its popularity in China, with the momentum of international superstars, coupled with the outstanding performance of Kim Jun-so, Kim Jae-jung, and Park Youtian in Ahn Woo-seok's album, the music critics who once ridiculed them as just a dance group gradually changed, and their efforts were gradually accepted, at least for now, not inferior to the idol group of Mythology.
After TVXQ's return, it was the debut of S.M's new group super_junior, and the number of people can be said to be the largest number of Korean idol groups, one more than a football team.
Being able to run so many projects at the same time, you can imagine how much money S.M has made in the past two years! This is the real wealth!
After An Yuxi left, S.M Company took this opportunity to play a set of combination punches, which was dazzling, although these were already planned, but they were also regarded as premeditated by other companies.
S.M's development has reached this point, and it has also made YG, JYP, and other brokerage companies realize that although Ahn Woo is gone, now is not the time for blind optimism, and their rival S.M has grown into a behemoth that can still occupy half of the Hallyu market.
It can be said that now S.M Company has firmly sat on the throne of Korea's No. 1 brokerage company, and no one can match it.
Speaking of S.M company, there is one more thing, that is, s.m_town last year's summer compilation, although there was no song by An Yuxi in it, because it was the only precious family compilation album that An Yuxi appeared, after An Yuxi retired, it also sold like crazy, this time it was decided by S.M Company, and it was reprinted twice, 400,000 and 1.2 million respectively, and finally sold 3.2 million, setting a record and making a lot of money.
The three words An Yuxi, according to authoritative expert estimates, are definitely worth hundreds of billions, if anyone pays attention, he has definitely earned more than 100 billion won in the past year or so, and if you add more than 60 billion won donated by fans to charity funds, it is terrible to think about, he has not made an advertisement! What a gold-absorbing machine!
This year, it was listed as the first place on the Forbes celebrity wealth list, and it also made major economic companies red, and they all wanted to cultivate a singer like An Yuxi!
He created a myth that a singer has nothing from his debut? has become a billionaire, fame and fortune, and naturally countless people yearn to become the second "An Yuxi".
This has directly led to the increasing number of people who dream of becoming singers. As a direct result, the number of people who participated in the BEST selection of S.M Company reached 80,000 this year, and only a dozen people were finally admitted, and the elimination rate reached an astonishing 1:4000.
I was stunned by the friends of S.M's company, JYP and YG, who only had a dozen trainees at most!
It can be said that the name Ahn Woo-seo has gradually become a part of the culture of the Korean entertainment industry.
S.M's love for Ahn Woo-seo is definitely the highest, not only because of his fame, his care for his juniors, but also because he spent his own money to renovate both buildings of S.M in June, and Shin Sung-ho also took the opportunity to pass the proposal to update the equipment - this kind of money-spending proposal is generally the last thing shareholders want to do, which is a big expense!
S.M. has a new look from the inside out, and the environment has become better and more comfortable, and overall it is definitely the best trainee configuration among all the brokerage companies in Korea.
Since its debut with several projects, S.M's cafeteria has become a favorite destination for artists and trainees from other companies.
It's just because it's a Chinese chef who cooks here, and Chinese meals, rice, soups, and dishes are definitely in sufficient supply, and the taste is very good, and there is a special window for stir-frying, which is good and cheap, and even better than the meals in restaurants outside, which is even more popular.
It is worth mentioning that the cafeteria also serves free coffee throughout the day, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is definitely worth having.
Especially the previous trainees, they fully felt the changes in the company after An Yuxi came-getting better and better.
In order to encourage the younger generations, Ahn Woo-seo also created an internal prize fund for S.M., and every year the youth selection contest will set a grand prize of 1 million won, which is a large amount, about 6,000 RMB, and the grand prize of the annual year-end performance report is also set up with a reward of 1 million won.
This also makes the trainees very motivated when they practice!
