How to become an ACE of a top boy group

On the afternoon of the 24th, a post from a new account on Weibo suddenly gained a lot of attention.

@墨日娱乐ILetter_Official:

#My favorite 101 has a power outage and five people have disappeared#

The truth behind the disappearance is—

ah? ! !

Gumi Star is finally coming!!

Suddenly.

I can finally see Lee Yong-hyun's face! I have a terminal illness that I'll die if I can't see handsome guys, hurry up and release some content!

Did they win the revival match?

Take it away, next one

Haters responded faster than our true fans, is this some kind of sadomasochistic relationship?

Are they fans with the same name? Both "Goumeng" and "candle" are...

Is it a twin group concept?

The official Fiction (D) account also reposted it, confirming it's a twin group concept!

Thank you for remembering the other five people, Mo Ri.

But I don't quite remember "dog head".

Candle, let's all stand in the front row and watch!

……

Simultaneously, Door, the dedicated fan interaction app for idols within MoRi Entertainment, also suddenly created an official ILitter account, suddenly opened a fan cafe, suddenly had five members join, and suddenly announced their respective joining. Everything happened so suddenly.

The five individuals also created their own Weibo accounts or renamed them, adding the prefix "ILetter," and reposted the official posts.

Fan sites for each member reposted the official posts, including Luo Xi's fan support site.

Her Unicorn: I saw some negative comments on ILitter's official super topic link: "Can Ronxi get out of here?" Vitamin C fans, go and control it!

Lemon Flavor: On the move! Fight against the black market!!

……

However, the celebration among fans didn't last long. Late on the 24th, a series of negative stories about ILiter member Luo Enxi surfaced online, including allegations that she was expelled from "My Favorite Treasure 101" due to moral issues, and that she had "spread numerous rumors online about trainees from 'My Favorite Treasure 101.'" These rumors even included claims that Fiction (D) members Liya and Zhang Shuzhen had girlfriends, implied An Kexin's height, and said that Ming Ning was just an average-looking man in real life...

Originally, some Fiction (D) fans were very dissatisfied with ILetter also using the name "candle," feeling that the other party was trying to ride on their popularity. After the scandal involving Ronhee was exposed, Fiction (D) fans were directly enraged and started arguing with Vitamin C. Later, the arguments escalated to ILetter stealing fan names and stealing Fiction (D) resources (FD only has one main music video, but ILetter even has a music video for their pre-release track).

Fans of other ILetter members were innocently implicated and began to criticize Luo Enxi's fans, causing Vitamin C and Luo Enxi to suddenly find themselves in a situation of being condemned both internally and externally.

On the 25th, after the release of the pre-release single "Missing News", ILitter announced that the official music video and title track would be released on the 28th, which completely coincided with the debut time of Treasure? boy, a new group that Shengshi started preparing this month.

Treasure? Boy is composed entirely of popular members who failed to debut from the talent show "Produce 101," including Chen Zui, Yin Wenhe, Pingchuan Jinren, Duan Feifei, and Mai Lai.

Because Chen Zui and Yin Wenhe performed well on their debut stage, Chen Zui wrote an apology letter and remained silent for a long time. Due to his failure to debut and the rumors of behind-the-scenes manipulation in the show, Chen Zui was able to regain the forgiveness of his fans. In addition, with the effective marketing of Shengshi and the frequent collaborations, Treasure Boy gained a considerable number of fans who sympathized with him and hated the show's scandals just by releasing a trailer.

Treasure? boy's fans are naturally opposed to Fiction (D) and Iletter's fans, candle.

ILitterer's debut date is now coinciding with Treasure? Boy's, and Treasure? Boy announced their debut on the 28th on the 24th, seemingly suggesting that Treasure? Boy's date was deliberately clashed.

Treasure? seized on this point and spread it widely, along with Luo Enxi's scandals and ILitter's stolen group title, and also frantically reported ILitter's pre-release music video... ILitter was subjected to almost one-sided online attacks.

The topic "How to evaluate the pre-release music video of the new Mexican-Japanese group ILitter" has become a hot topic in the "Celebrity" section of the Luobo Tie forum.

1L (Original Poster)

Post the music video:

"First, there's a video of their debut concert recorded on a cell phone, zooming in on the ILitter members holding the white porcelain trophy. A few seconds of white noise flash by, and the five people in the cell phone's focus disappear completely. Then, there's a flood of 'disappearance news' online, and the song starts here."

The five people find themselves suddenly in the Azalea Manor, where the TV show is being filmed. With nowhere else to go, they have no choice but to enter the manor. The once magnificent manor has become dilapidated, and the walls are covered with news of their disappearance and missing person notices.

Stepping inside, in the empty, dilapidated room, five white garments hung on the wall, with the words "Wear it" written in blood-red ink.

As the five people, carrying their clothes and unsure of where to put them, suddenly a terrifying, enormous bird-like monster appeared and chased after them. The five began to flee. Lu Yun, dressed in white, escaped into a room and leaned against the door. Song Chuchu, also dressed in white, ran into a seemingly endless corridor of candles. Li Longxuan, dressed in white, entered a black room filled with many white porcelain pieces. Gu Minxing, dressed in white, got lost among the countless wooden doors in the manor and could only keep opening them.

The ending shows Rosie, who is holding a white dress she isn't wearing, being relentlessly chased by a monster. She hides under a table until the monster leaves.

Luo Xi thought she had escaped a disaster and stood up from under the table, but the camera flashed to show her lying on the ground, her blood staining the white missing person posters on the ground.

The camera slowly pans upwards, revealing that the one attacking Rosie is none other than herself, dressed in white.

Luo Xi, dressed in white, threw down her tools, turned back to the table, and the music video and song ended.

2L (Original Poster)

The original poster isn't a fan of celebrities, but enjoys analyzing Chinese idol groups. To be fair, the music video is quite well-made, but the comments on Weibo seem overwhelmingly negative?

3L

"Can't ILTetter come up with its own fan name?"

4L

It's just... frustrating.

5L

They thought that because their fans were called "candles," they would actually support them.

6L

They'll steal everything! They'll steal fan names! They'll steal popularity! They'll steal resources! They'll steal entire groups!

7L

Actually, they're a twin group; I don't want to explain anymore.

8L

Just passing by and saying, this seems to be a massive propaganda campaign, full of negative information and brainwashing. There's so much of it that even someone like me, who has absolutely no connection to the group, has seen it. It feels like they're trying to wipe them out completely. And one member of that group does have some serious issues, now they're being attacked online, and nobody's watching their work anymore.

9L

Because the pre-release hype had already gone on for far too long, the general public no longer cared about the delay in posting.

10L

The music video was mediocre; I don't understand what they were trying to prove about "sweating."

11L

Ronxi is ugly, arrogant, and embroiled in scandals, yet she's been promoted to such an extent that even casual observers find it unacceptable.

12L

Um, after watching the MV, I have to say, Luo Enxi is kind of good-looking.
