They’re created by the founder of SM Entertainment.
Netizens are buzzing after the release of Chinese girl group A2O MAY a group produced by former SM Entertainment founder Lee Soo Man, with buzz focusing on standout member Shijie.
Shijie is known as the visual center of the group with her model-like proportions and doe-eyed visuals.
Born in 2007, she’s only 17, but she’s already dazzled with her mature and elegant features.
Many praised Lee Soo Man’s eye for picking out talents. After all, he handpicked some of the top K-Pop visuals across generations, including Girls’ Generation‘s YoonA, aespa‘s Karina, and Red Velvet‘s Irene!
Fans couldn’t help but compare her to aespa‘s NingNing and other idols.
- She looks like NingNing, but she’s not the typical SM beauty.
- She looks different in different angles, so I’m not sure.
- She’s pretty, but I’m not sure if she’s special as a center.
- She’s not a classi SM beauty, but the type of SM Chinese beauty faces. She looks 90% NingNing and one spoon of Victoria.
- Ah, I was reminded of MEOVV too.
- She’s prettier in videos than in pictures.
With Shijie already becoming a hot topic amongst Koreans online, all eyes are now on how the group will promote themselves globally and in Korea!
