Shinsegae’s Heiress Possibly To Debut — But What Do Netizens Truly Think About Chaebols Becoming Idols?
본문
Plenty of the rich and privileged have managed to debut as celebrities in the world of K-Pop. BLACKPINK‘s Jennie was born to a rich family, so much so that she was seen riding around in a luxury car even as a trainee! Not only her but Girls’ Generation‘s Sooyoung, Super Junior‘s Siwon, Block B‘s P.O, and TWICE‘s Tzuyu are all known to come from affluent business families.
If you think those idols were rich, a trainee in THE BLACK LABEL‘s upcoming girl group will take the cake. Annie Moon Seoyoon has already been identified as a chaebol heir.
Annie. | @anniemoonsy/Instagram She is not only the heir to the Shinsegae group, but her lineage makes her a double heiress. Her great-grandfather was the founder of Samsung! Due to her parents’ marriage, she has claims to both families.
If she were to really make her debut, Annie would be the first ever chaebol to debut as an idol! Netizens pondered this possibility seriously and weighed in. Some lamented the fact that it would slowly become impossible for hopefuls to debut if they weren’t rich. Others brought up Shinsegae’s past links to actress Ko Hyun Jung. Ko was married to Annie’s uncle, but was famously bullied by her in-laws, resulting in a divorce.
Netizen comments. | theqoo - The industry is slowly becoming what you could call “in their own league…” LOL
- She’s not a golden spoon, but a vibranium spoon at this rate, no?
- They’re advertising using her lineage LOL. This must be the modern age royalty. I just realized now that our country is becoming a society based on status.
- Kids, hyung’s niece debuted LOL.
- Wow.
- Why did they do that to Ko Hyun Jung?
Netizen comments. | theqoo - Being a celebrity these days, especially an idol, is such a sweet job. They must be the modern age royalty, seeing how even chaebols are getting into it. I’m suddenly getting a feel of how real it is.
- Just what is up with being an idol, so much so that even chaebols want to be idols?
- The grand-daughter of Shinsegae isn’t just a golden spoon. Her mom is the chairperson of the Shinsegae department stores. Wow, but seems like being a K-Pop idol is really attractive these days, seeing how even chaebols want to be idols.
- She slayed the pre-debut buzz… LOL. But the way her family tried so hard to block their daughter-in-law (Ko Hyun Jung) from being active in the industry.
- Why did they do that to Ko Hyun Jung?
- Even if they don’t need the money that comes from being an idol, chaebols can’t get the fame and popularity that comes from being an idol I guess.
