Chapter 2: Kirin Yugen LevesqueIn the dazzling world of K-pop, where talented individuals are brought together to showcase their abilities to the world, a unique and intricate ecosystem shines. This industry is known for its meticulous crafting of idols who enthrall audiences globally with their exceptional talents in singing, dancing, and performance. However, the path to becoming a global pop star isn't something one could achieve so easily.
Even after stepping into the limelight, idols are confronted with numerous hurdles, including the daunting question of whether their group can ascend to the upper echelons of the industry. Although the majority of these K-pop groups successfully achieved fame at the beginning of their careers, it's an undeniable fact that sustaining success in this industry is challenging. With the K-pop community standard, if a group could not make a significant impact on the world, they could only succumb to being underrated and, in a worst-case scenario, disband.
However, more often than not, there are significant numbers of groups that overcame the test of time and built up their name to the rankings. These groups are called "late-bloomers" or "hidden gems." The diamond on the rough. These groups may have yet to achieve immediate success upon debut but persisted against the odds and gradually gained recognition over time. One example of these "hidden gems" is Enigma.
Comprised of six extraordinary members—Koen, Rigen, Declan, Janus, Yu Tian, and Moon— Enigma has become a phenomenon due to their persistent hard work. It could be said that they are currently at the peak of their career. Every new release breaks records, with their music videos amassing millions of views within hours. Their live shows are legendary, often leaving audiences in awe. They have swept through music shows, collecting trophies like stars in the night sky. From Best New Artist to Artist of the Year. Enigma has set a new standard in the industry as one of the most famous K-pop groups on the rise.
Now, as the group encountered yet another heartbreaking development, their entire fan base was left shocked and devastated. Everyone is deeply worried about the idol's condition, with some questioning what will become of the group in light of this tragic incident. As the fans expressed their heartbreak over the news, a surprising number of people were ecstatic about it. Are we talking about the haters here?
Partly, but the reality is more nuanced.
Within L Entertainment's premises, there exists a famous group of bullies, jokingly referred to as the 'F4.' This group consists of four idols from different groups within the company: Rigen, Hwiyoung, Sung-jin, and K.O. The acronym 'F4' originated from the popular T.V. drama 'Boys over flower', which stood for 'Flower four' made up of the four handsome *chaebols of Shinhwa High School. However, despite their qualification of embodying the original floral connotation of the group name, they were branded the less-than-flattering title of the "Four F*ckers" within the company instead.
