迷妹們的快樂 / The joy of fangirls

各位，您們年輕時，有喜歡上那位明星或團體嗎？有瘋狂追星過嗎？有瘋狂收集偶像的作品嗎？我想，應該是或多或少吧，特別是偶像團體，不論他們是男是女，他們通常能夠引領時尚和潮流，並展現積極、努力和才華橫溢的一面，能夠給年輕人帶來快樂和放鬆，我想，這就是所謂的偶像魅力吧。

某天，我經過某鬧區捷運站時，突然發現，在捷運站旁邊的百貨商場門口，有著一堆年輕人在圍觀某些事物，讓人很難不注意到，我首先想到，應該是某位明星，因為圍觀的年輕人們，清一色都是些年輕妹妹，我首先猜想，可能是韓國明星或藝人，因為，在新聞上常常報導，某些知名韓國明星或偶像團體到達機場時，都會有一大堆的粉絲妹妹們去接機，把機場塞得水洩不通，不過，我對於韓國明星不熟，沒研究，於是湊近一看。

原來是一個帥氣的本地男生團體，團體名叫VERA，大叔真的老了，我並沒有聽過這團體，網路上查了一下，VERA是個透過出道集資計畫誕生的團體，是由六位青春洋溢的大男生所組成的，他們在2022年底出道，發行過實體及數位專輯，獲得2023年Hito流行音樂獎的HITO首播點擊人氣獎，原來，還可以集資出道成為藝人，真是令我耳目一新啊！

最近，熱辣辣的豔陽天快把我烤焦了，所以，看了一下，就離開現場，雖然，我對該團體完全無感，但是，看到那麼多年輕妹妹，為了心目中的偶像，排隊參加單曲發售握手會，幫自己心目中的偶像打氣，心中暗道，真是年輕人的浪漫啊！儘管天氣在炎熱，她們此時心中是充滿著幸福感。

Hey everyone, when you were younger, did you ever have a favorite celebrity or group? Did you ever go crazy over them, collecting all their stuff? I think most of us did, especially with idol groups. Whether they were male or female, they usually set fashion trends, showed a lot of talent and hard work, and brought joy and relaxation to young people. I guess that's the charm of idols.

One day, I was passing by a busy subway station and noticed a crowd of young people gathered at the entrance of a nearby department store. It was hard not to notice. My first thought was that it must be for a celebrity, because the crowd was mostly young girls. I guessed it might be a Korean star or artist since you often hear in the news about how famous Korean celebrities or idol groups cause a huge stir at the airport with a crowd of fans. But I'm not familiar with Korean stars, so I went to take a closer look.

It turned out to be a handsome boy group called VERA. I felt so out of touch because I hadn't heard of them before. I looked them up online and found out that VERA is a group that debuted through a crowdfunding project. It's made up of six young guys, and they debuted at the end of 2022. They have released physical and digital albums and won the HITO First Broadcast Popularity Award at the 2023 Hito Pop Music Awards. I had no idea you could crowdfund your way to stardom. It was really eye-opening!

Lately, the scorching sun has been unbearable, so I didn’t stay long. Even though I'm not interested in the group, seeing so many young girls line up for a handshake event for their favorite idols made me think, this is really the romance of youth! Despite the heat, their hearts were filled with happiness.
