sm entertainment trainees are said to have something of a golden spoon in their mouths, when they have their debut, they're guaranteed something of publicity - whether it be good or bad, it's already an established stepping stone to the stage above the rest of the rookies putting out their blood, sweat and tears for a fraction of the publicity. they're the home company of the k-pop greats, and it's hard to ignore the aura that their groups present, life as an sm idol must be great, right?
red velvet, far from their 2014 debut days, are now breaking the charts with their comeback proving sm entertainment's girl group formulas work time and time again, not to mention the vast majority of girl's generation's renewal. and with their vast selection of trainees, what do they have to lose to debut another group? any pretty face is profitable.
so there they stood, four girls lined up like a chorus, facing the executives and given the news - they're now part of sm entertainment's new debut project. is this sm's answer to blackpink? one thought, looking at the rest of the members. one's sure that she got into a fight with the other when she first got here? another's huffing - hasn't she got four more training years on that girl, what did she do to make the cut?
the girls aren't the most functioning unit, and the idol world is something new to them - and more complex than they'd realised when they signed their young years on that contract.
and now? no one's prepared to forget their names, and no one's afraid to call out every stumble that the girls have.
