近日,名为“天府少年团Panda Boys”的组合在成都发布单曲宣布出道,但是网友们却惊奇的发现,这组合的成员年龄都太小了,一时间引起巨大争议。
The debut of the Panda Boys, a new idol group formed by young Chinese boys, has become the target of criticism on Chinese social media.
据了解,这个组合由7名男孩组成,成员的平均年龄只有8岁,最小的7岁,最大的也仅有11岁,也将“偶像养成”的年龄段再次拉低。
网友们对于组合成员的前景表达担忧。有人认为,也许孩子们在音乐舞蹈等方面颇具天赋,但是进入复杂的娱乐行业还为时尚早。
The extremely young boy band's debut swiftly became a trending topic on China's Weibo, with many netizens expressing concerns that while the boys - the youngest 7 years old - may be are gifted in music and dance, they still are too young to be thrown into the complicated arena- the entertainment industry.
21日,该组合的经纪公司发文回应称:“作为天府少年团的经纪团队,我们更像是一帮满腹情怀的少儿教育探索者……公司不是把孩子当作赚钱的工具,而是在孵化具有时代意义的新一代少年榜样。经纪团队对成员的第一条要求就是在保证学习的前提下,再完成艺术训练。”
The mountain of criticism may have been too much as the group's agency Asia Starry Sky Group issued a response on Weibo on Saturday. Besides describing itself as a "children's education explorer that is full of passion," the agency also clarified that the company does not treat the young boys as "money-making tools" and that it requires the members to prioritize their studies over band training.
尽管公司声明意在“灭火”,网友们却并不买账。
Even though the statement attempted to address netizens' concerns, due to the agency's business nature and the fact that it has signed up school-age boys, discontented netizens said that while the company has "sugar coated" its intentions to make money, they believe the boys will likely be "exploited" because "young idol" is another word for "profit" in the current idol industry.
8月23日,半月谈杂志官方微博、央视网微博等媒体纷纷发声,直指低龄少年团现象。
半月谈微博指出:大批还未成年的偶像被推向市场,一方面使他们脱离正常生活学习的环境,过早地接触纷繁复杂的娱乐圈,不利于他们身心健康的发展;同时,也将“出名要趁早”的错误价值观传递给社会,误导辨别能力较弱的青少年。偶像养成产业的发展,绝不能以牺牲未成年人的健康成长为代价。过分追逐低龄化的偶像养成产业,该管管了!
央视网则发文称,8岁出道大可不必:少年儿童身系国家未来,这背后的公司,需要好好查一查,千万别让孩子金色的童年,变成金子的童年,别让娃娃们道都没找着,就寻摸着出道了!
24日凌晨,该经纪公司再度微博发文,称:不做饭圈文化,没有资本运作,我们就是同一群热爱唱歌跳舞的孩子们做一件有意义的事。 配图则是一份申明,“天府少年团”更名为“熊猫少儿艺术团”。
当天晚间,经纪公司在微博上发布申明,称即日起解散天府少年团。
