Chapter 637: Chapter 637: Single Track Recording
Lucy Taylor sneered, "Who are these people?"
They all wanted to isolate Hannah.
Hannah doesn’t really care, she handed a tissue to Sunny Lee.
Sunny Lee bit her lip and whispered, "Thank you, Hannah."
Perhaps because she had been crying hard, her eyes were still red. Even her speech had a sobbing undertone to it. Surprisingly, Lucy Taylor said a few comforting words.
Hannah looked away and didn’t say anything. She just was staring absentmindedly at the bustling crowd in front of her.
People change, it all depends on the circumstances at the time.

After a while, the teaser for Smile 9’s first single was released.
In the twenty-second teaser, Hannah occupied half of it. She also performed all the standout high notes.
It was clear, Hannah was the main focus.
This led to some dissent. Some people accused the company of uneven song distribution, obviously favoring Hannah, some people even complained of their long shots.
"Whoever criticizes the distribution, just look at your own status first. You are lucky you were not asked to leave the group."
"Can Tiffany Lynch’s fans really defend this? Aren’t they lucky that their idol wasn’t asked to leave the group?"
"Actually, many people watch for Hannah. It’s normal for the center to have more camera focus. To those complaining about the song lines, Hannah’s role is the main vocalist, if she doesn’t sing then who will?"
"Honestly, it’s quite unfair to the others. Yes, Hannah is very popular, but let’s give more opportunities to the other eight girls. For some, you even have trouble finding their shots. (Just an opinion from a passerby, please don’t be harsh.)"
"It’s just a teaser, it’s normal to promote whoever’s popular. Considering Hannah’s fame and popularity, it’s obvious that they’re using her to gain momentum. The poor girl gets criticized even when she’s doing a good job in the group, she might as well go solo!"
"Hannah should go solo! Appalled passerby here."
There were a lot of different opinions online.
Some felt that even though Hannah was the hot topic, the others too had worked hard to debut and deserved equal attention and promotion.
But others thought the company was clearly leveraging Hannah’s popularity. Without featuring Hannah as the main act, the response to the song would definitely not have been as great.
After a lot of arguing, the fans got tired. Someone posted a final comment.
"After all this bickering, if other fans are still unsatisfied, why don’t you unite and have Hannah withdraw from the group? I’m pretty curious, without Hannah, would the group still be as popular?"
This comment instantly quieted everyone else.
Some things just had to be accepted. Amidst all the negative news, the fact that Smile 9 still remained popular was largely thanks to Hannah.
"In spite of having a member who stole her performance credits, Hannah has been fully cooperating with the group’s promotional activities. Every time she appears on a show, she includes the group name in her introduction. To put it bluntly, she’s done more than her fair share. If you’re still not convinced, check out who has the highest purchasing power among the fans on the day the single is released."
Amidst all the chaos, Smile 9’s first group single was officially released.
When Teresa Gordon negotiated with various music platforms, she demanded the top promotional spots, along with a half-month promotion period.
This posed a problem for all platforms.
After all, Smile 9’s heat was not remarkably high.
But Teresa directly brought Hannah into the picture, "I presume you should understand that given Hannah’s current popularity, a simple update from her could also deliver a commendable promotional effect. It’s up to you whether you want to collaborate or not."
