Huang Yi’s Daughter Wants to Be a Trainee, Faces Online Criticism: Not Good-Looking Enough

Published at Jul 21, 2025 03:28 pm
Chinese actress Huang Yi, who rose to fame with 'My Fair Princess 3', has recently enjoyed another career peak thanks to her villainous role as the Grand Princess in 'Splendid', and often shares glimpses of her life on social media. Recently, she posted a video of a conversation with her 12-year-old daughter 'Duoduo'. In the clip, her daughter expressed a lack of interest in studying, and shared her dream of going to Korea to be a trainee, pursuing her ambition of becoming an idol. This left Huang Yi, herself an entertainer, feeling torn between wanting to support her daughter’s dream and worrying about the challenges ahead.

While mother and daughter chatted over a meal, Huang Yi asked why Duoduo didn’t like studying. Duoduo responded: “The atmosphere at school doesn’t make me happy. It feels outdated and not innocent. It’s like being a robot.” She yearns to shine on stage and wants to be a trainee in Korea. Although Huang Yi was sympathetic to her daughter’s feelings, she expressed concern and mentioned Han Geng’s example to warn her that the life of a trainee is not as glamorous as outsiders think: “Han Geng said he danced until he broke his ribs and only found out after they’d healed, showing how tough the pressure can be.”

Despite her mother’s kind advice, Duoduo remained determined, emphasizing: “Anyway, I definitely want to experience it.” She even did her homework: “At ‘SM Entertainment’, there are 2 million people competing for 75 trainee spots,” and insisted, “Singing, dancing, being dazzling on stage — that’s what I yearn for most. I can endure hardship.” However, after the video was released, netizens reacted coldly, with many directly criticizing her appearance as “ordinary,” “not good-looking enough,” and saying “it’s more practical to study,” harshly commenting that she hadn’t inherited her mother’s good looks.
