How to become an ACE of a top boy group

"Idol Research Project"... is now airing!

The interview footage was shaky and unsteady.

Narrator: This is a pre-recorded interview (not footage shot normally).

—“Members of ILitterer, who do you think will win the ‘one pick’ in this ‘Idol Research Project’?”

The camera first focused on a cool-looking boy with medium-length black hair. He slightly parted his lips as if to speak, but the camera was suddenly turned to a red-haired boy with a grinning fang: "Without a doubt, it's me. I've never lost when it comes to being likable!"

"ILetter Lu Yun, please pick me." After saying that, the red-haired boy raised his hand and blew a kiss to the camera.

"Is this an interview with you? You're so charming, and you dare to say that." Along with this voice, the camera suddenly switched to the other side. The white-haired boy with a cat-like appearance was slightly startled by the camera suddenly focusing on him, but he quickly pretended to be calm, pursed his pink lipstick and said, "I am the one who has never lost and is always number one. 'One pick' must be me, thank you."

"Oh? But I heard that the third place winner in the talent show...?" The red-haired boy looked puzzled.

The cat-like boy immediately bristled: "We've already debuted, what's the point of distinguishing between third and first place? Besides, I just don't want to show off too much, what do you know, you idiot!"

Narrator: A highly competitive member of ILetter

The camera then focused on the smiling boy with medium-length black hair who was watching the two of them, magnifying his delicate and handsome face and the mole under his lip, and asked, "Who does Eun-hee think will win the 'one pick' in this 'Idol Research Project'?"

"No matter what, I win in the end. You know I'm the ACE of ILitter."

This statement is a veiled jab at a popular post that says "In the end, Ronnie won." The post claims that Ronnie used a melodramatic script on the show but still managed to secure a debut spot and an ACE position. The phrase "In the end, Ronnie won" has been copied and pasted by many haters on various platforms to mock her.

The red-haired boy, who immediately understood, burst into maniacal laughter: "Hahahaha!"

The camera flickered for a moment, then returned to recording, showing the three people next to a handsome, black-haired man with a middle parting, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.

Upon seeing the person approaching, he turned his face towards the camera, making the screen image even brighter.

The caption reads: "It looks like they're posing for a magazine photoshoot, but they're actually just standing there casually."

The caption reads: "Let's just leave it for two seconds to take the screenshot."

"Who will win?" The handsome black-haired man with his arms crossed pretended to think for a second before saying, "Unless something unexpected happens, I should win."

Finally, as if he didn't care, he said, "It doesn't matter who wins, I don't care. Anyway, I'll let the person who's supposed to cook do the cooking."

They even highlighted his "indifferent" expression with a caption: This is an expression of not caring.

Finally, the camera panned down to a short-haired, aloof male college student crouching in a corner, secretly using his phone with a striking face, seemingly unaware of the camera that had spotted him and approached.

Narrator: Gu Minxing, the reliable captain of ILitterer (with star graffiti on his body).

"Gu Minxing, what are you doing?"

"Ha." He chuckled sheepishly. "I'm looking for tonight's dinner. Making a menu will help me avoid mistakes... I can't let new fans eat random, bad food... Although I don't know what ingredients the show will give us..."

Narrator: ...This is the first time someone has voluntarily gone out to prepare dinner on the show?

Finally, the screen displays the official five-member group photo of ILeTer—

Narrator: Today's research topic for "Idol Research Project" is the unique ILitterer!

Amid applause, the scene shifts to a white laboratory room, with experimental bottles, microscopes, flowing liquids, and a lab bench forming the background.

There are several huge whiteboards here, covered with very complex clue diagrams and photos. On the largest whiteboard, there are individual headshots of the five members of ILitterer, with each member's personal information written on them in marker, including words like "negative reviews" and "super concept".

Around the whiteboard, four presenters, dressed in white lab coats, were either sitting on chairs and tables or standing, facing a white square platform.

Donggang opened the discussion: "Welcome, everyone! It's time for another idol research project! We are 'professional idol researchers' dedicated to cracking the secrets and genes of idol popularity!"

Chen Liangping tidied the folder in his hands and said, "Today's research topic is really a remarkable person. They've become quite famous online recently, and they're truly a very worthwhile subject for research—"

Zeng Chu shrugged: "Can't we just cancel these sitcoms? The pilot episode already shows that the audience wants to see who it is, not us."

Chen Liangping could only put the folder down: "...It's ILitter, thank you everyone."

Liu Langsheng said with a smile, "Then let's get started! Please welcome our first research member!"

After pressing the red button next to him in Donggang, Lu Yun, dressed in a white school uniform, made a dazzling appearance, standing confidently on the white square platform, holding a piece of his resume in his hand.

"Hello, researchers! I am Lu Yun!" He bowed generously and stood confidently.
