How to become an ACE of a top boy group

This is a huge psychological burden.

You've clearly given it your all, but there are still criticisms. Those who criticize haven't actually had time to investigate or repeatedly demonstrate their points; they just offer a dismissive comment and leave immediately. They don't care about your explanations or self-justifications, and they won't even bother to come back and argue with you.

What's even more frightening is that those negative words are regarded as gospel by more people, becoming popular and considered the truth, and are selected for inclusion in popular comments. Whether your behavior is truly right or wrong is no longer important; opponents simply want to use verbal arguments to prove you wrong.

Those who cannot prove themselves will be discarded in the emotional dumping ground.

Luo Xi suddenly felt that the current situation of receiving negative reviews throughout was quite similar to their concept, which could indeed be described as "falling into an endless abyss of negative and manic emotions".

Luo Xi gripped Song Chuchu's somewhat cold hand and said to the camera, "What should we do? Our Song Chuchu seems to still be affected by the dark energy of the endless abyss. Candles, come and comfort him quickly."

Pushing Song Chuchu toward Li Longxuan and moving the live-streaming tablet further away, Lu Yun said, "Many fans have been comforting our Song-ge, offering many ways to relieve stress, like 'get some rest,' 'drink more hot water,' and 'sleep solves everything'..."

One candlestick asked, "Ronxi, how do you manage to stay so happy despite all this negativity?"

As Lu Yun read, he couldn't help but laugh. "I think the main thing is, if we get upset when we see negative comments, maybe those who don't like us are secretly laughing at us, right?"

"Ah, you can't say that, haha." Luo Xi met Lu Yun's gaze. "I feel sad when I see negative comments, I just don't look at them."

“There is no such thing as negative comments. They are just random comments from strangers, sent in less than a second. Anyone who thinks that is really stupid would be. The person who said it probably forgot what they said the next second.” Lee Yong-hyun said, “When you look at it from a distance, it’s nothing.”

Gu Minxing chimed in, "It's not that simple, because sometimes you just can't escape it. Sometimes, when you're extremely sad, just a little bit of burden can crush you."

Luo Xi nodded: "I agree, just like you never know how much harm language can do to people."

Wiping her face with the sleeve of her other hand, Song Chuchu, having recovered, said, "There's no way to escape it! My sincerity was hurt by such irresponsible words; it feels like being cut with a knife!"

“Oh dear,” Lu Yun couldn’t help but say, “Who’s going to take responsibility for you? And it’s not their responsibility, it’s your own. Why are you suffering for people like that? We have more important things to do, we have to think like this.”

Lee Yong-hyun said, "In this world, no matter what you do, there will be people who oppose you. If you say something to those who oppose you, isn't that considered a bad comment to them? So arguing about this is meaningless. If you can't learn to grow, then just keep suffering."

"I'm starting to hate you guys!" Song Chuchu felt her sadness turn into anger.

Lee Yong-hyun raised his voice: "Then take your hands off my legs. I've been holding back for a long time!"

“It’s because we can’t understand each other that we hurt each other. Longxuan and Lu Yun, try to understand Chu Chu. That’s the right way to stop the pain.” Luo Xi ignored Li Longxuan’s words. “Chu Chu, at this time, just be yourself.”

"There's no need to be sad for people who don't love you, nor is there any need to prove yourself to people who don't believe in you at all. Just do what makes you happy, see the people you like, and read the comments you enjoy. Let's just smile for the fans who like us."

"I like this passage." Gu Minxing looked at Luo Xi with satisfaction.

"But I still feel something's not right. Actually, you're all overthinking it... Don't you really think so...?"

"You're so stubborn..."

“Minsung, I finally understand how you feel…”

"But this time! I really support Yong-hyun! Those involved are often blinded by their own interests, so let's keep quiet internally and let the director and cinematographer vote by raising their hands..."

……

The five people talked about this topic for a long time, until the staff reminded them several times before they realized that they had been discussing the topic for so long that they had missed the originally planned Q&A session.

"We'll talk about this later. The music video is about to be released, so hurry up and open the video."

"Hurry up, hurry up, it's already started."

The music video and the title track "Deadly Thirst" were online for only one minute before the five of them hurriedly opened the video webpage.

"First, a scene from the 'Black and Red' music video is played in fast-forward, returning everything to the very beginning. This time, Luo Xi, dressed in white, doesn't turn on the record player. Instead, she pushes the record player and vase off the table, causing them to fall to the ground and the vase to shatter. She then picks up a candlestick."

Gu Minxing therefore did not open the door of "Azalea". This time, everyone finally followed the guidance of the candlelight, broke through the curse of Azalea Manor, and converged along the candlelight to arrive at a dark place that was like a nest filled with countless floating objects.

The bird-like monster reappeared, but fearing the candlelight, it could only send down a mist to scatter the five people, sending the four of them, excluding Rosie, to different scenes.

The four characters, within their own scene, desperately approach the candlelight. Rosie, still in place, raises the candle and ignites the monster, along with the thorns binding them in the darkness. Their clothes change from white to a burnt crimson as they burn, and the black space is completely illuminated by the candlelight. They ascend the candlelit stairs. The music video ends.

Although almost all the rapidly scrolling comments were...

[I don't know what this is trying to express]

[Wishing them a successful debut and a successful disbandment]

[May Mexico and Japan go bankrupt soon!]

[Wasting half an hour of my life]

The song is awful.

[This environment is terrible, even passersby turned away.]

……

Only a small quantity available. [Happy debut, ILeTer!]

Rosie still managed to grasp it, like grasping a candle flame in the darkness, and she read it aloud: "The candles are all saying happy debut to ILetter!"

Gu Minxing had already lit the candles on the debut cake, and the staff promptly turned off the lights. Now, the only things illuminating them were the candles on the cake and the candlelight on the table.

Luo Xi put her hands together and said, "Make a wish."

"How many wishes have I made these past few days..." Lee Yong-hyun said, but he also put his hands together in prayer.

Luo Xi thought for a moment: "Only three times, I guess."

Song Chuchu: "Won't it be that if we have too many wishes, they won't come true?"

Gu Minxing: "No, it won't happen. Last time on my birthday, I wished that we could debut, and it came true."

Lu Yun: "Maybe that's why my debut is in this hellish situation, hahaha."

Gu Minxing: "...Really? (Starts to worry)"

Luo Xi: "Minxing, don't listen to his nonsense."

As they spoke, the five finished making their wishes. They blew out the candles on their debut cake.
