lovelies member So Ji Soo Recently, there has been a lot of talk about her starting a career as a streamer, but for me, the reaction to that choice and what she revealed was more interesting.
Her group has not released since September 2020. Strictly speaking, “on hiatus” Since they are almost all (excluding) baby soul) left Woolim Entertainment During the broadcast, So Ji Soo talked about the possibility of the group reuniting, and put the possibility at 5%.
“We're talking about holding a concert, although we don't know if it will be possible,” she said.
“The possibility is about 5%, but no one knows. I think it's possible because Woollim Entertainment's CEO Lee Jeong-yeop loves us so much. However, the members have different schedules. are busy and everyone is in separate offices. Still, we've done our best to make it happen.”
As for why she decided to start streaming, she admitted that things weren't going well on the acting front.
When asked why he decided to become a streamer, the singer said: After thinking carefully about what she could do in a world where trends are constantly changing, she decided to start streaming. ”
“To be honest, I was very lost. I was worried about how this would affect my image,” she added.
“My career in the entertainment industry has had its ups and downs. Having experienced successes and failures, all I want now is to stream with a happy heart and have my loved ones enjoy streaming. ” said So Ji Soo.
She also explained why she chose gaming as her focus: “It's fun to watch edited game videos. I'm not good at games, but I like games, so I wanted to try streaming games.”
I have concerns and understand the reputation of streamers, but I've always felt that for many idols, this is a natural environment to make money. They're public figures of sorts, who probably have some skill and the buff of having a built-in buzz, plus doing fan service is basically all they do. Fans don't want that to happen because it ruins their image, but I think most of them don't want to know about their favorite idols outside of the company-controlled narrative. It is. They are no different than the problematic streamers they hate. Especially, I don't want to hear from people who may have damaged So Ji Soo's image. Rumors about her before her debut were started by an old man..
Anyway, as expected, her streaming career has taken off quickly, earning a total of around $4,000 in just four hours of work.Of course, it won't always be like that, as the excitement for her debut wears off a bit, but it's nice to see her getting some of the time spent back, especially after other Lovelyz members spoke out About my time under Woorim.
