Chapter 505: Your Future
When Lee Jun-hee decided to let Princess leave for the United States, almost no one was optimistic about them, after all, at that time, they had just debuted in South Korea, released a regular album, and they were almost not well-known in the international market, even though "Nobody" was successful in the international music market, but not many Americans knew the Korean group Princess.
Lee Jun-hee's original choice can be said to be a risk, once Princess fails in the United States, when the time comes, it may even lose the local market in South Korea.
It can be said that out of Princess herself, no one supports Lee Jun-hee's crazy decision, and even Lee Hyo-jung strongly opposes it, thinking that Lee Jun-hee's adventure will eventually ruin Princess.
After all, before Princess, whether it was GOD, Rain, BOA, or SE7EN, they had all accumulated a lot of popularity in Asia, but after arriving in the United States, they all saw the light and died, and when they went, they were ambitious, and when they came back, they were disgraced.
But no one expected that these seven girls who looked soft and weak would really gain a foothold in the United States, and they had unexpectedly achieved great success that countless predecessors could not reach.
Before Princess, the most successful Korean singer should be Moon Seong-hoon, whose single hit the top 50 on the American pop music charts, which has made countless Korean media cheer, believing that K-pop will lead the new wave of world pop music.
But when Princess topped the American pop charts for seven consecutive weeks with the song "Girlfriend", she was a Canadian punk princess who terminated her contract with her original agency because she missed "Girlfriend". When Princess's popularity in the United States grew, people were shocked and nothing but shocked.
Lee Jun Hee is indeed proud of Princess, although Princess became popular and rose rapidly in the United States because of "Girlfriend". However, Lee Jun-hee knew that the song was just a trigger, a help, and the key factor that really made Princess succeed in the United States was Princess's own efforts.
The entertainment industry in any country is the same all over the world, and if an artist wants to succeed, a good work is indispensable. But the key is to rely on your own diligence.
After all, no matter how good a work is, no matter how influential it is, it will gradually be forgotten by people with the passage of time, and only the artist himself is eternal.
All of Princess's itinerary in the United States, Lee Hyo-jung will send it to Lee Jun-hee on a regular basis, so to speak, Princess's every move in the United States. Lee Jun-hee can grasp the efforts of the girls at the first time. Lee Jun-hee was also very pleased.
Hearing Li Junxi say this, the girls suddenly felt that everything they did in the United States was worth it, and at the beginning, it was Li Junxi who unearthed them one by one and formed the current team, without Li Junxi. There is no Princess, it was Lee Jun Hee who created Princess, and it was Lee Jun Hee who made Princess.
โOPPA๏ผ We will continue to work hard! โ
Lee Jun Hee smiled and nodded, waved his hand, and motioned for them all to sit down. Say, "I believe in you, all right! During this time in the United States, everyone has worked hard, this time back, everyone has a good rest, at work, I will let Xiaozhen arrange, give you as much time as possible to rest. โ
At this time, Lin Zhenna asked in a low voice: "OPPA!" We ~~~~~~ how long we can stay in Korea! โ
Although when Princess was in the United States, all the members worked very hard and never slacked off, but after all, they were all young people, and they had never left home for so long, and homesickness was inevitable.
Especially Jenna Lin, she has been a good girl since she was a child, and every day in the United States, she misses her relatives in South Korea, and of course, Lee Jun-hee.
When Li Junxi heard this, he couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart, and said: "Well~~~~ Let's finish this Spring Festival!" Jenna, and others, I know that when you were in the United States, it was very hard, but what I want to say to you is that your future is not in Korea. โ
Not in Korea!?
The girls were all shocked, although they all guessed Li Junxi's arrangement for them, but when they heard Li Junxi say it so clearly, the girls still felt a little disappointed in their hearts.
Although they have achieved great success in the United States, except for Song Qian, they are all Koreans after all, especially at this age, who doesn't want to be able to enjoy the favor of the people in South Korea.
Seeing this, Lee Jun-hee also guessed the girls' thoughts, and then said: "I say this, not to let you give up the Korean market, it's just that you can all see that the Korean music market is so big, but there are so many brokerage companies, so many artists, although now you are a standout in the field of girl groups in the music industry, but what about the future?" I am sure that the era of girl groups in the Korean music industry is coming, JYP, S.M, DSP, YG, and large and small brokerage companies, they are preparing their own girl groups, seeing the success of Princess, they can't help but be impressed, even if it's difficult, but they will still want to copy the miracles you have created, if you continue to stay in South Korea, you will have to face competition with them, of course, I believe in your strength, but compete with those newcomer girl groups, Even if you win, what can you do if you are the NO1 of the Korean girl group in the music industry? โ
The girls all fell into deep thought, and it was obvious that Lee Jun-hee was right, fighting in the nest and winning, with Princess's current strength and popularity, it was a matter of course, if she lost, then there would be nothing.
Lee Jun-hee continued: "But in the United States, the situation is completely different, the fierce competition in the American market will allow you to constantly improve yourself, and American music is the market, it is the center of the world's pop music, where you can really consolidate your position, and ~~~~~~~~."
Lee Jun-hee paused, looked at each girl's expression, and said, "Don't you want to be an eternal Princess?" โ
Forever Princess?
The girls were stunned when they heard this, they didn't understand what Lee Junxi meant, didn't Lee Junxi say it before they debuted?
The Princess will be the icon of their lives!
Why do you say such things now?
Lee Jun-hee knew they didn't understand, so he explained, "Just look at the current NRG, NRGForever!" This is Chu Huancheng's last wish before he died, and it is also the vow that my brothers and I have made for the rest of our lives, but do you really think that NRG can exist forever? โ
The girls were shocked by Lee Jun Hee's words, what does Lee Jun Hee mean by this? Could it be that NRG will also dissolve like HOT, Crystal Boy, GOD?
"NRG won't be disbanded, but when my brothers and I are older, can we still be bouncing around the stage all day long like TVXQ and SJ now? We will all take the initiative to seek change in order to continue our careers as artists, and at that time, NRG may only become a symbol, existing, but it does not exist. โ
The girls all understand that when a certain time comes, NRG will become a symbol, although it exists, but the members can no longer continue to operate in the form of NRG groups, some people will start SOLO, some people will start to transform into actors, and some people will transform into behind-the-scenes to continue to cultivate talents for the Korean music industry, maybe they will occasionally get together and release a song, but that is no longer for the sake of raiding the market, but for commemoration.
The thought that Princess will one day become a group like NRG, the girls' hearts can't help but feel lost, after all, they have been together for a long time, although everyone is not relatives and has no blood relationship, but in fact, what is the difference between them and relatives, if there is really one day, they even need to make an appointment in advance to see each other, that kind of day, I really dare not imagine.
Lee Jun Hee saw that the fire was almost over: "If you become an international superstar, then Princess will also become eternal!" โ
Princess Eternal!
The girls are moved to let themselves bear the name of Princess for the rest of their lives, so that Princess will always exist!
Song Qian looked at the members, and saw that everyone's eyes were the same, all revealing the same information, and nodded vigorously at Li Junxi: "Brother! We are willing to put the future in the United States! โ
What made the girls of Princess make this decision is not that we love the infinite scenery of the United States, not that after returning to South Korea, they are sought after by countless people, but that Princess is eternal!
In this regard, Lee Jun-hee also felt gratified, all along, he has been sending a signal to the company's artists, that is, the family-like model, and now, in Princess's body, he feels that these seven girls are relatives-like relationships.
"Good! I support your decision! Princess! Fighting๏ผ (To be continued......)
