Biography
Wang Feifei debuted as the main vocalist of miss A, which rose with hits like 'Bad Girl Good Girl.' Trained in South Korea, she launched a solo career there in 2016 with the mini-album 'Fantasy,' showcasing a mature, R&B-influenced sound. Returning to China, she established her own studio and took creative control. Her 2021 self-produced mini-album 'Fearless' exemplified her reinvention as a solo artist and actress 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.
