How to become an ACE of a top boy group

“I think what you said is very wrong.” Lu Yun spoke up confidently and boldly. “The show was only filmed for two months. The five of us didn’t live together or form a group. Even if some of us were in a team for a short time, we weren’t in a team all the time. Isn’t it normal that we weren’t familiar with each other?”

"Oh, so we're not very familiar with each other yet? Then, do we still need to introduce ourselves? I thought this step could be skipped, but it seems we still have to start from the first step?"

Yi Jin was clearly saying it with a smile, but for some reason, Lu Yun felt uncomfortable listening to it.

"The last page of the materials you have now contains the members' basic information. Let's look at it and introduce ourselves one by one."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xi turned to the last page of the document in his hand, which read,

Luo Enxi, born April 3, 2027, 17 years old, 177cm tall, 56kg, blood type B, formerly affiliated with Feile, specializes in dance.

Gu Minxing, born on December 21, 2026, is 18 years old, 183cm tall, weighs 67kg, has blood type O, and was formerly affiliated with Mo Ri Entertainment. She is skilled in singing and dancing.

Lee Yong-hyun, born February 4, 2025, is 19 years old, 186.3 cm tall, weighs 64 kg, has blood type AB, and was formerly affiliated with MUJI Entertainment. His specialty is dance.

Lu Yun, born January 24, 2029, 15 years old, 176.7 cm tall, 63 kg, blood type B, formerly affiliated with Fangjing Film & Television Ahost, specializing in rap and dance.

Song Chuchu, born September 10, 2028, is 16 years old, 174.5 cm tall, weighs 54 kg, has blood type A, and was formerly affiliated with Fangjing Film & Television (Ahost). Her specialty is dance.

"So Lu Yun and Song Chuchu are from the same company?" Luo Xi only remembered that Lu Yun's company was Ahost, but he hadn't really paid much attention to the fact that Ahost was actually Fangjing Film and Television. As for Song Chuchu, people around him often said that he was a member of royalty, and Luo Xi had always assumed that he was from Mo Ri Entertainment.

"If that's the case, then Song Chuchu isn't with Mo Ri Entertainment, but with Fang Jing. So where does the rumored relationship between him and Mo Ri Entertainment come from?"

[041 believes this may be related to the connection between the two companies.]

"Then...shall I start with my self-introduction?" Gu Minxing, who was standing next to Luo Xi and had received a glance from Yi Jin, said, "My name is Gu—"

"—Representative, we're not so unfamiliar that I need to introduce myself. We definitely know each other to a basic degree."

Lu Yun couldn't help but interrupt Gu Minxing.

"Does that mean you don't need to treat us like children? Is this like making friends in kindergarten? We know exactly how to get along and how to build relationships."

Yi Jin smiled and said, "So, where is your relationship now?"

"Exactly, it's just about the colleague relationship," Lu Yun said. "Isn't that enough? Do we need any other relationships besides colleague relationships?"

"Of course not. How can you form a team with such an unfamiliar relationship? You need to get to know each other better and reach a level of close friendship."

"The teamwork on stage requires a lot of tacit understanding. Furthermore, fans can easily tell whether a group has a good relationship or not. If the relationship is not good, it can easily lead to meaningless arguments between fans. In such a situation, who can relax and listen to our music? It will only exhaust the public's goodwill and patience, leaving only people arguing. In that case, you won't even be able to get into the second tier, let alone the first tier."

"Alright." Lu Yun was taken aback by these words, but became even more stubborn. "But in fact, I know the other members very well!"

"Song Chuchu's family is Fang Jing's largest shareholder, and your sister is the president of Song's Company. She invested a lot of money in Mo Ri and also acted as a go-between for Haicheng TV and Mo Ri to produce the show 'I Recommend Treasure 101'! That's why you're so arrogant all the time! You were also very disdainful of everyone at Ahost before!"

"Why did you have to say it out loud!" Song Chuchu exclaimed, clutching her head in embarrassment as if she had been punched in the face.

"Minsung and Yonghyun are childhood friends. They went to the same junior high and high school. You even formed a band together in junior high and performed at other schools! Minsung was selected by Mo-il to be a trainee, so he and Yonghyun broke up!"

“We’ve known each other for a while, but we haven’t been in touch for a long time, so we can’t really be called childhood sweethearts, right?” Gu Minxing suddenly sensed Song Chuchu’s embarrassment.

"Yong-hyun dropped out of school to participate in 'My Favorite Treasure 101'! Because Yong-hyun's aunt likes Min-sung! Yong-hyun even got a lot of Min-sung's photos!"

"...Can you stop dragging me into this nonsense?" Lee Yong-hyun couldn't stay silent any longer.

"Brother Xi was the one who cut his penis during the three-month audition process on the show. He was eliminated from the competition but returned to the show. And Brother Xi's background is very pitiful!"

"Do you really have to hurt us all?" Rosie's expression was a mix of amusement and exasperation as she tried to change the subject. "So everyone knew each other before? Am I the only newcomer?"

"No, I didn't know Minxing and Longxuan before. And if we're talking about being close, I'm closer to you, Xi-ge," Lu Yun said obsequiously to Luo Xi.

"Haha, Xiao Lu, knowing isn't gossip." Yi Jin laughed. "Do you know what Chu Chu's hobbies are? What unconscious things does he do when he's unhappy? Or, without looking at the information right now, what's his birthday?"

"There's no need to know this much... It's a bit disgusting." Song Chuchu couldn't help but feel a chill at the thought of someone knowing so much about him.

“2x30年5月17日！”陆云说完立刻看向手上的资料对答案，上面赫然写着2x28年9月10日，“可恶就差一点！”

“We have to understand this much, and I’ve already explained why,” Yi Jin said. “To cultivate your understanding and relationship, you should live together, right? Yuan Yu should have a room like this where the children can live together, right?”

“Yes, the company originally assigned you five-person dorm rooms, and the members will live together after returning. Here…” Yuan Yu thought for a moment and said, “That’s fine too. There are also empty rooms upstairs that can accommodate five people.”

"Does that mean the five of us will be staying together tonight?" Gu Minxing repeated her agent's words.

"Wait... does this mean we'll be living together?" Lu Yun was about to shout, but then he heard Luo Xi say, "I think Representative Yi Jin is right. We really need to live together to deepen our relationship."

Lu Yun also thought it made a lot of sense, and added, "Actually, living together is quite convenient."

Yuan Yu said, "There is a separate corridor between the two-person and three-person rooms. You can decide for yourselves who will stay in the two-person rooms and who will stay in the three-person rooms."

"How about we draw lots?" Luo Xi took a piece of printed paper from the table, cut it into five pieces, and then wrote 2 and 3 on it to represent two-person rooms and three-person rooms.

Then crumple the paper into balls, mix them evenly, and have each person draw a lot.
