How to become an ACE of a top boy group

Ultimately, IL didn't win a single number one spot, but Treasure? Boy's practice of inflating their numbers was discovered by fans of other groups, especially ILitterer, who launched an online attack.

Many passersby began to support groups that had not received fair competition, criticizing TB and Shengshi Company.

"Treasure Boy can easily get first place by faking it, but some kids from small companies work hard for years and still can't get it. For them, it's like ruining their lives and opportunities."

"Isn't the definition of an idol about passionate youth and hard work? What are they doing?"

At one point, on Roche's taskbar, ILitterer's support for Treasure Boy reached 43.6:56.4.

Soon after, someone anonymously posted an in-depth exposé on Luobo Tieba about Shengshi Entertainment, the company behind Taobao. Shengshi, formerly a real estate company that later entered the idol industry, was described as a marketing company that didn't produce quality products but relied solely on spreading viral advertisements online, hiring numerous song critics to endorse their work, and having Shengshi faction journalists and media outlets write brainwashing and smear articles specifically to create a massive, deceptive fan base. This was seen as damaging to China's cultural industry.

The PR team and TB fans of Shengshi naturally kept refuting and defending themselves.

"Even if it's watered down, the company has the resources, so doesn't the money they spent count? Besides, the song is really good, that's a fact."

"Does any company with money not inflate its sales figures? The Mexican and Japanese companies you're talking about never did. Why didn't they mention One Origin's infamous 'tens of millions of units sold' sales? They'd all inflate their figures for the sake of face, wouldn't they?"

As a result, another online argument broke out. The debate expanded to include issues like inflated numbers and the presence of more top-tier groups. ILitterer, currently in a relatively low-profile position within idol groups, was easily forgotten. The songs still didn't achieve a major hit, and the album's audio and video views remained stuck at 650 million.

However, it still gained a lot of sympathetic passersby and new fans. The number of followers on ILitter's official Weibo account has reached 537 million.

According to Luo Xi's system display, the total number of individual fans of the members has also increased. Lee Yong-hyun has the highest number at 902 million, followed by Gu Min-sung at 883 million, Lu Yun at 613 million, Luo Xi at 406 million, and Song Chuchu at 394 million.

Luo Xi's stage performance and part distribution were excellent this time, resulting in many perfect shots and photos. Her performance of the song also showcased her charm, which is why she gained the most fans.

In any case, the two-week music show has come to an end. The following week, ILitterer's schedule is full of variety shows and two small outdoor commercial performances. With the Chinese New Year and Spring Festival approaching, there are many performance activities.

During the previous two weeks of music show promotions, in order to allow the members to rest properly, they were not scheduled to appear on many variety shows. They only took time out of their schedules to attend two shows that did not take up too much of their energy and time.

The first week, we went on a radio talk show hosted by Mexico and Japan. The host was Berk, a former April Wind member who is now signed to a Mexican-Japanese music show. The five of us relaxed and talked a lot about our debut practice, filming, and feelings on the show.

The second week, they went to a variety show that was a spin-off of the pre-interview for "Music Online". Luo Xi and his team basically followed the company's schedule to introduce the concept of ILitterer and the song choreography ideas.
