SINGAPORE
The hungry media reporters clinged to the Grand and dazzling towering building of the Academy, from the early hours of the morning in an attempt to get the best spot for the best shots as the luxurious entourages of the many other attendees came in one after the other, getting their fair share of mixed reactions from the paparazzi.
"Good day Risers! you are tuned into Arise Asia on this beautiful Friday afternoon…I am Riyah, reporting live from the scene of H&H Academia right here in Singapore. It's been a long day over here as reporters anticipate the arrival of certain important guests of the Academy. According to members of the paparazzi and various media houses, they have welcomed the sons and daughters of several business men in Asia who already arrived, and now they anxiously await the arrival of certain heirs who they deemed the most 'esteemed'..... Ahh yes! Still reporting live, the young Indian heir, Sanjay Singh just got in and well you can suddenly see the overwhelming reactions from onlookers and members of the paparazzi... It's Riyah once again, do stay tuned in for more live updates!"
"Can this just be over already? it seems our presence is a total bore!" said Yoona, an attendee.
"You know, it's actually sad that I could count the number of cameras on us when we stepped in," replied Aera. "I can't believe i put in all this efforts into my appearance and all I got were three flashes," She Scoffs.
"Pathetic beings! they rather retain their energy for that b***h Yuri and her co-b***h, Karina. God! I hate those girls!"
"Well why don't you pray to Buddha that one day, your family holds more prestige like theirs huh?"
"Come on Aera, if you aren't habiting under a rock, you should know that if it were not for the political aspect of the business world, both our family's businesses would be on the same pedestal as theirs right now, you know how freaking hard our fathers work! but that may ever happen...and why? because the system has been programmed to capacitate just a few for years; such a capitalistic mentality is robbing us all and unlike these girls who know nothing and care less, who would rather invest more of their time gracing fashion shows! partying with sons of the political elites! and projecting an almost unachievable and unsustainable beauty standard to the young Asian female community, people like me who genuinely love the business world are not 'born' with enough privilege to execute their business and financial dreams. Rather, this privilege is handed on a silver platter to these bunch of incompetent fools!"
"Okayyy that was a lot?? Aera admits with a scared expression and a brief pause, still getting over Yoona's aggressive blow out.
"But your statement should exclude Lara and Ivan right?" She asks.
"Of course! They both have extreme knowledge on what to do and seem to possess nurturing business minds unlike those girls in particular, who should rather walk the runway for top fashion houses.
"Oh speaking of which, I hear Karina recently got affiliated with Saint Armonio as their top ambassador!"
"What?? No...no...no, this is not happening, I looked forward to working with that brand! Now I can't because she wouldn't hesitate to label me a wanna be!"
"Hold on! you always behave like you have no interest in the fashion world as they do, why wishing to strike a deal with Saint Armonio?" Aera asked, adjusting herself on the chair set in the exotically decorated hall, around the round dinner table.
"Spare me the criticism Okay?! My personality? appearance? and brand! can not look as unappealing as my dying father's company!" Yoona said unapologetically, making Aera immediately reach out for a glass of wine placed among the four glasses arranged carefully on the tray held by the English looking waiter, before even getting served.
"After what seemed like an eternity of an anxious waiting, the public finally laid their eager eyes on their most anticipated guests... Initially witnessing the arrival of Sanjay Singh and the arrival of Park Eun ji some minutes later. An hour went by before the arrival of Karina Wong, but it seemed as though her paparazzi moment was cut shut by the intimidating entrance of China's favorite son's, Ivan Lee and Christopher Chen. Everyone suddenly had their attention shifted and focused on both gentlemen, which may have been quite a kill joy for the gorgeously dressed, rangy beauty.
While we are happy about having these important figures right here in Singapore who have come from all parts of Asia, we can't seem to understand the reason behind certain guests' absence. One of which is the daughter of Chairman Lu Wang of China, Lara Wang, who was noted to be absent although the public had speculated of her appearance due to Ivan's interest while being ignorant of her honest stance and decision which actually comes as no surprise. Meanwhile, Our second absentee, happens to be the daughter of Han Ji kyung of South Korea, Han Yuri.
Unlike Lara, a month ago, She had confirmed to the public through social media about her interest in the academy this year and how excited she was to create memories with close friends and potential friends. Although, she was sighted during the early hours of the morning at the Incheon international airport in Seoul, she is yet to be seen at the academy, which makes us infact curious and left with the question;
Where is South Korea's sweetheart Han Yuri?
