ASTRID Townsend v: Hello, everyone, this is Astrid.  I’m a new artist at Polaris.  I will be in your care in the future. ?<3 

[Polaris Official v: We at Polaris are happy to welcome another member to our growing family.  Please, give a lot of love to our new artist – Astrid Townsend! @astridtownsend [polaris.starnet.com/artistprofile/astridtownsend] [photo] [photo] [photo] … ]

Those who had seen this post quickly commented below.  Some even reposted it.  While others who were too excited after seeing the newcomer’s artist’s profile simply commented below the post of Polaris [Cyberspace] account.  There were also those who simply posted about it and used the hashtag, #polarisbeautifulnewbie.

Whichever of these methods people had used, the fact was, the accumulation of their post caused this topic to be pushed on the 24-hour trending list of the day.  It was only currently in the 21st rank..  But as it was still growing in momentum, no one could tell what rank it would end up with after today.

Most of the comments and posts were as follows;

[So pretty!  It’s been a while since I’ve seen such an attractive newcomer!]

[True.  I didn’t think the effect of seeing a person with both black eyes and black hair would be this good.]

[Looking at him, I couldn’t help but think that such a person is simply born to be a star.]

[Oh, I love the shape of his eyes!  It’s so unique!]

[I studied ancient anthropology.  I’ve seen a couple of documentaries about the 21st century A.D. of Earth.  His features are very similar to the people living in East Asia.  To have these features today when most people’s features are biased towards the complete opposite, I can only say that his parents have pretty rare genes in their genetic make-up.]

[And what pretty genes they are!]

[Even his name is pretty.]

[Astrid’s parents, are you looking for a daughter-in-law?  As that one classic dystopian book said, ‘I volunteer as tribute!’]

[Upstairs, maybe the parents are looking for a son-in-law, you never know.]

[Ah, I also want to marry Astrid.  Our babies will definitely be the most beautiful!]

Many such comments followed.  But as there were too many positive comments, of course, those with negative opinions also rose.

[I must say, Polaris really won the jackpot today.  How did they find such an eye-catching teenager?  With such features, it wouldn’t take that much before he becomes hot.  Even if he’s only a vase with no talent.]

[That’s very unfair to others, don’t you think?]

[What can we do?  People are too superficial nowadays.  With such a face, even if his acting is shitty, there would still be people who will love him.]

[Is Polaris changing their image?  They no longer cared about talent and just chose artists based on their looks?  If so, I would be really disappointed.]

[And do you really believe that his hair and eye color are natural?  I say it’s just hype!]

[I also think the same way.  He’s obviously trying to attract the attention of others by making himself look like this.]

[That’s really shameless.]

When comments like these appeared, a lot of people quickly countered them.

[What are you people babbling about?  This is Polaris we’re talking about.  Have they every signed an artist with no talent?]

[So what?  There’s always a first time.  Besides, even if it’s Polaris, if they saw someone who looks like that, they’d be stupid not to try to sign him.  He could be a potential money cow after all.  It’s just disappointing to know that Polaris is actually just the same as other entertainment company.]

[Can you all stop jumping to conclusions?  How do you know that he doesn’t have a talent for acting?  Is there a law saying that a person’s appearance is inversely proportional to their talent?  Why don’t all of you just grow up?  Maybe you could use your brain then.]

[And please, did you not see those photos?  Just by looking at it, I could see that this Astrid could perfectly portray the image of two completely different characters.  I’m not sure how that would translate to his acting.  But, at least, it’s obvious that he wasn’t completely talentless.]

[Speaking of those photos… yum.]

[Hahaha!  Upstairs, I know what you mean!  They’re really yummy.  LOL.]

[Hey, only three of those are yummy.  The other three are photos of a lovely and innocent teenager.  Do you have it in your conscience to think of him that way??]

[I seem to agree with you.  But really, how could a single person give two completely different feelings?]

[Ehem.  To those people saying that his hair and eye color are fake, please, do check it on the photo analysis program in your Terminal.  Just in case you’re too lazy to do it, then let me tell you that they’re real.  Oh, and by the way, it also showed that he didn’t undergo plastic surgery.]

[I also did that and yes, they are real.]

[Wait- I seem to have read this kind of conversation before.  Ah!  Do any of you remember that small clip of a teenager removing his cap and showing the full glory of his hair and face?  I think they’re the same person!]

[I’ve seen that clip!  It’s still a bit vivid to me because I was really impressed by the teenager.  And they really are the same person!]

[I knew he must have been a celebrity!  Do you think that clip was a leak from whatever he was filming that time?]

[I also think the same. What kind of show do you think it would be?]

[Maybe it’s a movie.  But his role must not be that big since he’s only a newcomer now.]

[I don’t care I will still follow this person.  Why?  Because his face is enough to eat!]

[I’m still not sure.  But I’m optimistic about this person, so I will also follow him.  For now.]

Most of the people were divided into these two categories.  One was a group of people who simply loved his face.  While the other had a wait and see attitude.  That’s why from then, Astrid’s [Cyberspace] following kept steadily increasing.
