After Debuting as Center, I Became Showbiz’s Top-Tier Star

Han Zhixuan, who suffered from mild social anxiety, did something astonishing when she was eighteen. She actually signed up for a talent competition! She thought making her debut would change her life, but instead, she was mocked by everyone on debut night. “Flop Center,” with more haters than real fans, became Han Zhixuan's nickname. The trending hashtag #FlopCenter became a haters' celebration and a running joke among netizens. Although her outstanding stage presence won her some fans, her timid, unconfident personality made it hard for casual viewers to warm to her, and they were afraid to become fans. On top of that, she turned down every endorsement deal after her debut, leaving her company utterly disappointed in her. When Han Zhixuan stopped promoting herself, she lost her first batch of fans. Her group was already a flop, and she soon fell into the category of someone who flopped the moment she debuted. Later, when Han Zhixuan appeared in the public eye again, she was a solo trainee on Pick Me 101, a girl-group competition show that the company Strange Fruit had been hyping for a long time. Just as her haters were busy explaining her past to casual viewers and other groups' fans, Han Zhixuan made it through round after round of the competition. Her singing, dancing, and rapping skills had reached new heights compared with a year earlier. On the show, she formed more genuine friendships. With her teammates' help, she broke through her inner barriers and changed completely. In the end, she made her debut once again in the destined center position, becoming the hottest top-tier star of the moment!
