Biography
Wang Feifei, known mononymously as Fei, built a bridge between two major entertainment industries. Trained in South Korea, she debuted as the main vocalist of the influential girl group miss A, which quickly rose to fame with hits like 'Bad Girl Good Girl.' Her powerful stage presence and vocals made her a standout. In 2016, she bravely launched a solo career in Korea with the mini-album 'Fantasy,' showcasing a mature, R&B-influenced sound. Returning to China, she reinvented herself as a solo artist and actress, establishing her own studio and taking full creative control, exemplified by her 2021 self-produced mini-album 'Fearless.' Her journey is one of constant reinvention across borders.
Millennials
1981–1996
The first digital natives. Grew up with the internet, came of age during 9/11 and the 2008 crash. Highly educated, deeply indebted, slower to marry and buy houses. Redefined work, identity, and what it means to be an adult.
Fei was born in 1987, placing them squarely in the Millennials. The events that shaped this generation — the internet revolution, 9/11, and the 2008 financial crisis — shaped the world they entered and the choices available to them.
