Sweet Beauty

Chapter 678 The Long-Awaited Competition VIII

　　After the review about the Korean male group was done, Ren Zhen and the rest of the group went on stage and waited for the five hundred audiences to cast their votes.

　　Finally, the host announced that Ren Zhen's group had won!

　　Tae Ye-Jin looked angrily at her teammate. "Everyone, let's do our best. I cannot wait to see what the judges will say about us later!"

　　4VB1 Passion's performance was not affected by the defeat of the male group.

　　After the performance, they stood on stage while Tae Ye-Jin arrogantly looked at the four judges below.

　　She wanted to see what these judges had to say!

　　Qiao Hongya did not comment much on this. He just frowned slightly and looked to the side, not looking at them.

　　Instead, the Korean judge held his microphone and gave a long sigh. "You all performed very, very well. The singing and dancing were perfectly coordinated."

　　Tae Ye-Jin grinned, but before she could gloat on her victory, the judge shook his head. "But ... Your outfits are too inappropriate! Your pants are too short and your tops are too low-cut, drawing all the audience's attention to be on you, instead of the song and the performance itself."

　　Just as he finished speaking, Qiao Hongya picked up his microphone, paused for a long time, and finally said, "When I see you, it reminds me of a dancer in ancient Shanghai."

　　Tae Ye-Jin looked down at her clothes. She felt that there was no problem with it.

　　"What's wrong with our clothes?" She argued honestly, "It's comfortable for us to dance when we dress like this. Besides ... We have always worn these clothes this way. Why didn't you say you had a problem with our clothes before?"

　　The Korean judge immediately said, "We were never given the chance to say it in the past. You guys are so alluring, dressing in such a way that the audience doesn't care about what you sing! Just like what Master Qiao said, your dance only makes us feel flattered."

　　Tae Ye-Jin was very angry. This was obviously unfair. Why can't they wear whatever they want? But if it was for men, then it'll be fine?

　　Recalling what her group members had said backstage, she suddenly felt that they were right.

　　So, she didn't care if she was still on stage or if the camera was still recording. She just stood there and stared coldly at the four judges below the stage. "I never thought that an entertainment company as big as the Han Group would really use dirty tricks just to win."

　　When she said that, the fans immediately screamed. Some of them even shouted loudly, "You came right out with your shorts and bras and still have the nerve to be angry when people say that to you? Aren't you afraid of bringing harm to minors?"

　　"What we want is good music!"

　　Tae Ye-Jin immediately found Liang Zixuan's seat. She looked at her provocatively and said, "Liang Zixuan, are you really going to win like this?"

　　Liang Zixuan pursed her lips and felt very wronged in her heart. She obviously hadn't done anything, so why was Tae Ye-Jin pouring fuel on the fire by mentioning her name?

　　At first, she didn't want to say anything, but now that Tae Ye-Jin had mentioned her name, it seemed she had no choice but to do so.

　　Liang Zixuan stood up and walked to the side of the judge's table. She took the microphone from Qiao Hongya and looked up on the stage. "You said I bribed the judges? Haha... "

　　Liang Zixuan laughed lightly. "The four judges here are all seniors who've high status in the music industry. They have fame and status because of their hard work. Do you really think they will give up all of that because of money? Tae Ye-Jin, Ca Sang-Ook is the leading producer of your country. I remembered once a company came to him with money and asked him to help produce an album for a female singer. After listening to the female singer's singing, he kept saying, "My music won't be given to people who don't understand music at all." I think everyone in the entertainment circle in your country knows about this, right?"

　　Tae Ye-Jin looked at Ca Sang-Ook, unable to speak. She was so angry just now that she'd forgotten about that!

　　Seeing that her expression had changed, Liang Zixuan continued, "I'm also a music producer. Like them, I only see the music itself. If you think there's a problem with their comments, you can talk to Cha Jinho!"

　　Tae Ye-Jin was silenced by Liang Zixuan's domineering words. She angrily left the stage.

　　After stepping down from the stage, she went to find Cha Jinho together with the other members.

　　Cha Jinho was sighing and scratching his hair in the common room when suddenly the door was pushed open. Tae Ye-Jin walked up to him angrily. "Mr. Cha, why are you still loitering here alone? If you don't go out and seek justice for us, we'll be bullied to such an extent!"

　　Cha Jinho raised his eyes and looked at them absent-mindedly. He shook his head and sighed, "Leave me alone, all of you, please leave!"

　　"Mr. Cha!" Tae Ye-Jin was angered and grabbed his wrist. "There's no problem with our singing and dancing. But they actually said that there's something wrong with our clothes, that our clothes are too inappropriate! Didn't we wear these kinds of clothes before? What's the problem now? I think those judges were bribed by Liang Zixuan. You must get justice for us!"

　　"Aiya, let go!" Seeing that she refused to let go, Cha Jinho shook his head and said, "You are indeed wearing very revealing clothes. You were on a tour earlier and you may not know it yet, but the country has already issued an order for the idols who go on stage in the future, especially females, the outfits can't go more than an inch above the knees and can't be too sexy."

　　"What?" Tae Ye-Jin looked at Cha Jinho in disbelief and shook her head. "How is that possible!!!"

　　"It's what has been decided by the higher-ups." Cha Jinho clutched his hair and looked very discouraged. "We've already been called names, and we're here for a competition, so I didn't ask for too much from you. When we get back home, you'll have to change your clothes!"

　　Tae Ye-Jin still couldn't accept it. She looked at Cha Jinho's discouraged behavior, like a beaten rooster, and sat down next to him. "Mr. Cha, what's wrong with you? You were still full of fighting spirit in the morning, why did you suddenly become like this?"

　　The competition hadn't even ended yet and he was already admitting defeat?

　　Cha Jinho glanced at Tae Ye-Jin, he really didn't want to say it ...

　　A/n:

　　The governments in both countries have really strict rules about how idols' dress on stage, especially in China because most of the fans are underage. They are strict not only on clothing but also on appearance. There's also the saying about the "immoral" entertainers trying to improve fan culture. I feel like I should write this to give readers the awareness of what exactly happening in a reality world.
