"Zero Income, But Still Believe Opportunities Will Come"
"No Matter How Hard, I Will Always Face It Happily"
Girl Group Confession...Netizens' Support Explodes
Rookie girl group Candyshop confessed that their "activity earnings are 0 won," drawing continuous support from netizens.
On the 27th, the YouTube channel "Human Story" uploaded a video titled "Dorm Life of a Rookie Girl Group in Their 6th Month Since Debut [Girl Group Candyshop]." In the video, the production team visited the dorm of the four-member girl group Candyshop, who debuted last March. Sui, a member currently attending the second year of high school, greeted the crew by saying, "All the members live in one room." The other members were sleeping in two bunk beds.
They said, "We don't have time to cook anything," and "The fridge is only filled with various drinks." They have to be at work by 11 a.m., so they woke up around 10:30 a.m. and quickly finished getting ready in about 10 minutes. Also, their closet, filled with clothes, caught attention as it included shared clothing racks divided among the members.
Upon arriving at the company, the members sat in a row in front of a mirror and started putting on makeup while looking into the practice room mirror. The production team asked them, "Do you have any income after 6 months since debut?" In response, leader Soram said, "We have no income," adding, "Since we are still rookies, we don't have any income yet. We are in a position where we have to work hard to earn money." When asked, "Do you all live on allowance from your parents?" they replied, "Yes, that's right."
When asked if they felt pressured by having "0 won in activity earnings," Soram showed a positive attitude, saying, "The fact that we haven't been debuted for long is our hope," and "We think we should work harder and show our best." Sui also responded, "I believe an opportunity will come. That's why I will work even harder where no one can see." Sarang added, "I never regret choosing to be an idol," and said, "Even if it's hard, I think of it as a goal to stand on stage and will happily commit," drawing attention.
The reactions from netizens who watched the video have been explosive. They sent messages of support such as, "It's really cool that they believe an opportunity will come," "I hope these girls do well," "I will believe in the power of positivity," "Better than adults," "Their bright and positive attitude is really beautiful," "These kids deserve to succeed," "Seeing these kids makes me reflect," and "Effort never betrays. Cheer up."
Candyshop is a girl group introduced by Brave Entertainment after about 13 years and officially debuted in the music industry last March with their first mini-album 'Hashtag#.' Under the production of hitmaker Brave Brothers, who has led girl group success stories, they are gaining attention as a "5th generation promising group" by showcasing trendy music and performances.
