The most baffling thing is that they actually fell asleep while waiting to perform. Such a lack of professional ethics and respect for the stage.
The performance can only be described as catastrophic; I can't fathom what their fans are thinking.

Hu Binbin spoke first: "I've learned about you before; many people know about you."
At this point, he paused to carefully choose his words: "The reason so many people know you is because, despite being plain-looking, you've managed to ignore the negativity and carve a path for yourselves. Most young people your age wouldn't be able to handle what you've gone through."
Hu Binbin felt a pang of sympathy for the three of them. He could see that these three were nothing more than disposable pawns meant to appease the masses.
These three plain-looking, even somewhat unattractive girls are likely subjected to even greater injustices. This world is cruel.
