Everyone knows that if you want to get a chance to debut in the Korean entertainment industry at this stage, the three important criterion of measurement are: appearance, singing, and dancing. But as early as 20 years ago, most performing arts companies in South Korea only selected trainees based on the standard of "appearance". Therefore, large performing arts companies like SM will also add a "Best Appearance Award" to the audition content. Among the three traditional societies (SM, YG, JYP), SM is also the performing arts company that pays the most attention to appearance.
But are people with high appearances suitable for being idols? The answer is of course no. Among the SM family, Jin Qifan, who was born in Super Junior, is a person who is not suitable for being an idol. If fans who have followed Super Junior in the early days should know that he had received very high attention in the team back then. Not only are he active in many mainstream variety shows, he also went to China to film dramas later. However, in his opinion, it was a very shameful thing to stand on the stage as an idol and sing.
Recently, when he was filming an online program with Kim Heechul, Kim Ki-bun recalled the experience of being an idol in SM. Although SM made him debut as a member of Super Junior at that time, Kim Ki-bang always believed that his singing skills were not as good as he could sing on stage. However, due to his excellent appearance, SM asked him to participate as many as possible in major variety shows in order to promote the group in the early days.
Recalling how I looked when I sing, Kim Ki-bun said with shame: "Every time I sing a song, I really feel too embarrassing. Because I know I am not very suitable for singing. There are even some songs that I take the initiative to delete my voice part when recording. So it is really too ugly!" In addition, Kim Ki-bun decided to formally quit, because she wanted to put her acting career in filming. After all, he thinks that the profession of idols is not very suitable for him.
However, the reason why Kim Ki-fan got the opportunity to debut back then actually has a lot to do with Teacher Li Xiuman. After all, when Kim Ki-bang entered SM, Lee Soo-man personally interviewed him and passed it. The appearance of Donghai, Heechul, Qifan, Han Geng and others in the team can be said to have no opponents in the K-POP music circle of that era. This is also one of the important reasons why Super Junior has the "test" attribute.
Unfortunately, Jin Qifan later had a conflict with the senior management of SM and was gradually "hidden" by the company. In addition to his own failure to lose weight in the later stage, he changed from a beautiful man in the past to a "greasy uncle" now. However, every time I recall Mr. Lee Sooman, Kim Ki-bang still expresses his great admiration for him. Therefore, he still chose to renew his contract with SM in the later stage.
So do you think idols who don’t know how to sing are still qualified to debut? Welcome to express your opinions in the comment section.
