Even if one hadn't followed "Youth With You," the name Si Fuqing was hard to ignore.
After all, her idol group, Starry Sky Girls, had returned to the country and enjoyed considerable popularity throughout the year.
Add to that the fact that Si Fuqing was notoriously bad at both singing and dancing, with make-up that was equally cringeworthy, and it was no wonder she had garnered so much attention.
Fans who were well-acquainted with the entertainment industry knew exactly what Si Fuqing was like and had voiced their protests online.
[Seriously? A brand with traditional Chinese elements had so much potential for international fame. And this is what we get?]
[Insider info: Xia Sheng also auditioned for this brand but was rejected. Si Fuqing got the spot. Do I even need to say how powerful capital is?]
This comment set off another uproar.
