Zhang Li Yin's Chocolates Are Furious At Sm Entertainment Options

[fantasygurl09]

So much for a happy second anniversary.

Expecting to celebrate a happy second anniversary for Chinese SM soloist, Zhang Li Yin - who debuted September 9th, 2006 with duet "Timeless feat. Xiah Junsu" - many Zhang Li Yin fans (who call themselves "Chocolates") came to find upsetting news of the performance list for SMTOWN LIVE '08 in Shanghai for the upcoming Saturday.

It was announced that Zhang Li Yin would be performing only two songs on Saturday - the same two songs she performed in Korea: "I Will" and "One More Try".

During the summer, SM Entertainment released news that ZLY would be very well presented in Shanghai during the SMTOWN LIVE '08 tour stop. It was announced that Lee Soo Man had handpicked ten new outfits especially for her to perform in at the concert, and that there would be a special "report card" fan meeting for all Zhang Li Yin fans. Yet when the performance list was released yesterday via Sohu (a reliable SM Entertainment China news source), many Chocolates were upset and immediately let out their rants on Baidu and various Zhang Li Yin fansites.

Here are some of the replies:

"815, we were already disappointed.
But fine, there weren't promotions in Korea, so we forgave them.
Chocolates can forgive too.

Then 913 quickly approached.
Again two songs! The same two songs! There weren't any changes!
Isn't this saying that Zhang Li Yin fans don't exist?! Don't you want Zhang Li Yin to be famous?! Does letting her stay at home every single day make her famous?! In a five-hour concert, a soloist only sings two songs? You can't even add one more song?! Is that too much to ask for?!"

---

"I'm not even requesting for 'Timeless'. Can't she at least sing more from her album?!"

---

"Forgive, forgive, forgive, forgive, forgive... Again, forgive.
One year of no activites. We forgave SM.
815, only two songs. Again disappointment.
Fine, we don't say anything. We forgive SM again.
We await for 913; singing in her own country.
We hope she can sing more songs.
She can prove her singing skills.
But now... Again disappointment.
What. Forgive again?
We've become The Forgivers.
You said you will let our girl expand herself in China for a year.
For a five hour SMTOWN concert,
You let her sing two songs.
She only shows up for merely 15 minutes.
How can she be famous like this? How can you finally let people respect her?
Make no mistake,
There are few Zhang Li Yin fans,
But just because there are few fans, it doesn't mean you don't let us be her fans."

---

"I am angry! This is China! China! China! Li Yin’s place and home! Instead what do we get? Two songs! Two songs!! Only two songs! A solo artist, inactive for one year; it hasn’t been easy to get such a big event, yet you only let her sing two songs! Is she not a part of SM? Is she not LSM’s secret power? How else do you plan to wield this ‘secret power’? Chocolates have forgiven time and time again, but we can’t keep forgiving SM! There must be some explanation for this! Some explanation!!"

---

"913 is in China! Li Yin is a Chinese person! How can she be treated like this? Does SM treat all their singers like this?! If so, then Li Yin should quit SM then!"

---

"Do you not know how many Chocolates in China are looking forward to see Li Yin? Do you know how many people are willing to buy tickets just to see Zhang Li Yin’s fifteen minutes of appearance?"

---

"Since the time of H.O.T., you've been the best at promoting. What happened?"

---

"If that tracklist is true, then you have broken every Chocolate's heart."

---

"She has worked so hard in China! Yet she only gets two songs. That's too harsh!"

---

"Little Lee Soo Man student, do you not know that Shanghai is a city in China?
Is Zhang Li Yin not Chinese?"

---

"815, not the home country, two songs, no problem!
913, it’s her home country, and again, only two songs,
Is Zhang Li Yin Chinese or not?
Do you not want her to be in fans’ attention?
Before, you made it sound so good…
Ten new outfits, fans’ report card
Everything ended up being fake!
This company, this murderer Lee Soo Man,
I curse you everyday!"

---

"We gave up in Korea.
You let her expand in China; yet now with this good of an opportunity, only two songs!
What ‘secret power’? If you’re going to use this ‘secret power’, then use your power!
If you want her to be famous, then add more promotions! Don’t just dream about it!"


Similar frustrations were spoken out in the international Zhang Li Yin fandoms.

Usually I don't agree with fans but this time I do.
I mean did you guys seen the list for the performance?
Even the newbies get to perform more than her
(with no disrespect by all means) And she debuted
before them too! What the hay! Lee Soo Man should
support his Solo singers too! Not only his groups.
Not to mention it is held in Shanghai. Dang it!!!
Jang Ri In Fighting!!! She deserve more than 2
freaken songs!! Her voice is amazing!! & her songs.

Oh chocolate!! What a smexy name LOL


-re.edit
Sorry, I'm just really mad as a fan of Jang Ri In.
I'm sorry to others who may be offended my words,
I was just venting my anger. I got heated up by the
moment. I feel very ashamed of the way I acted/said
by such a small thing. Will watch my anger in the future.
