How to become an ACE of a top boy group

In the ending scene of Song Chuchu and Lee Yong-hyun, the two stand back to back, looking at the camera ahead.

It garnered another round of cheers.

[Is that all? I haven't had enough! Could you please add another camera to film Lee Yong-hyun's face the whole time?!]

The cat is really good at jumping. Although both of them are skilled, the difference is obvious when you compare them.

[I'm totally captivated by his white hair! He's such a great dancer! My eyes were glued to him the moment the stage started.]

[The white-haired cat is Song Chuchu! Vote for him to debut, and he'll perform a debut pact for us!]

No one at the scene wanted them to leave.

Regardless of whether the songs describe love, their energy and dynamic stage presence ignited the atmosphere of the audience, making their opening performance a great success in that respect.

The lights on the main stage dimmed.

"Thank you to trainees Song Chuchu and Li Longxuan for their wonderful performance." Rong Tian appeared on the stage to the left and continued hosting. "Backstage just now, I was watching the live stream comments, and everyone was saying it was about a love that was full of ups and downs, haha. I wonder if this song has evoked memories of that kind of love for some people?"

"No matter what kind of love it is, it needs to be nurtured. After we meet, when we encounter someone we love, we will take action."

"Next, please welcome Duan Feifei and Shen Yunhao to bring us 'On the Water', a cute and handsome performance with the lyrics 'To win your love, I must put in double the effort.'"

The main stage lights came on, and the two appeared with their backup dancers.

Duan Feifei was wearing an orange irregular short-sleeved shirt and denim shorts, with a red furry wristband on her wrist, while Shen Yunhao was wearing a large furry hat, the same orange short-sleeved shirt, denim pants and silver knee-high boots.

[Sing loudly, Xiaofei! The recommender is here!] x317

[Gather all Haofan!] x246

[Shim Yunho's physique, haha]

Duan Feifei has a cold. You might not know that.

Yes, Xiaofei had a high fever yesterday and went to the hospital. He even gave us a live stream from the hospital last night.

[She's smiling so energetically even with a fever, I feel so sorry for her, I'll vote for her.]

Their outfits are so interesting!

[I think the songs by the two treasures are the best!]

The upbeat and dynamic music, along with the two dancers' light and playful movements, all adorned with bright silver cartoon doll necklaces and bracelets, sparkled under the lights with every move.

"No need to overthink it / The goal is to get you."

"She is on the other side of the water / I am willing to give everything / You deserve so much / Because you are so beautiful / I will put in double the effort / For what I desire / You fascinate me."

"I painstakingly watered it / Regardless of whether it's for someone else's love / I watered it with my heart's blood / To obtain this unparalleled beauty."

[Ahhh, how did they manage to be both cute and cool with that turn and jump!]

[They're both so handsome, how am I supposed to vote for them?!]

[Then let's vote for the most beautiful Lee Yong-hyun, haha!]

[Is Hyunfan trying to start a fight?]

[Do you even know this isn't your own stage?! Don't post this on a stage that isn't your own. Can't you even do this basic thing?]

[They're just passersby, don't blame them on Hyunfans... I'm just stating the facts objectively]

[Fans of Fei and Hao, report these inflammatory posts and focus on the performance.]

……

Just then, Luo Xi finally finished all her makeup and styling. She was probably the most complicated and troublesome one. Just by looking at her, you could tell that the makeup artist had really put in ten times the effort this time.

Lu Yun was also dressed very "purely" and was admiring herself in the mirror.

"So innocent, right? I knew this would be a piece of cake for me! I can pull off any style perfectly, hahaha!"

Soon, Lu Yun was tapped by a staff member who came over and told them to put on their headsets and recording equipment and get ready to go on stage.

There were other people waiting backstage in the dressing room, all watching the situation outside through a live stream on a tablet placed there by the staff.

……

The next performance is "Running Wild" by Michael and Liya.

Mai Lai was wearing a blue-green striped sleeveless shirt with ripped edges, paired with a black cargo trouser with a silver chain belt and ripped cut, revealing muscular arms with one side wrapped in black plastic tape.

Lia wore a ripped sleeveless top with a gray sweatshirt cut to reveal her waist, paired with blue-green shorts and very unique black rubber rain boots. Her brown skin tone perfectly matched the cool, stylish and wild standard.

[Where are the Lia chefs?! Gather together!]

【Assemble!】x999

[Who's that guy in the blue-green stripes? He's really handsome, but I don't quite remember his name from the show?]

[Come on! She's a very talented trainee, please vote for her!]

The two rapped and danced stylishly to the accompaniment of bass and synthesizer sounds.

"Riding a motorcycle, buzzing..."

"Just blindly following the trend"

Because you can't catch up with me.

"Just blindly following the trend" "Buzzing"

"Left me behind"

"They can only eat my exhaust fumes and mockery."

[This look is so cool! Lia is so handsome, I've never seen Lia so wild! Thank you to the production team!]

[Is that a black plastic band wrapped around the arm? What an interesting design.]

[I feel so sorry for Mai Bao, it will definitely hurt a lot to tear it off later.]

After the chorus, Mai moved smoothly and lightly to the center of the stage with a popping move, exuding charisma.

"Get out of here, you unoriginal brats! Get out of here! My territory is not for you to meddle in! I know you dream of being as cool as me, but woo—"

"How can someone who inhales exhaust fumes be cool—"

[Haha, how can someone who ingests exhaust fumes be cool? That's so sweet.]

[Key Quote!]

[Who is this alluding to? Is there a plagiarist involved?]

[Who wrote these lyrics? They're so despicable!]

[Fun fact: Mai Lai is a singer-songwriter trainee. Someone from his former company stole his obscure work, changed a few lyrics, and sold it as their own for profit. The lyrics are probably about this incident.]

……

Maple leaves! Maple leaves! Maple leaves!

[Is it a campus vibe, with younger and older students?]

Qin Feng is so beautiful!!

Ye Zhixi wore white shorts, a light blue short-sleeved vest, and white sneakers, while Qin Feng wore a simple white patchwork shirt and white trousers, silver-rimmed glasses, and a light blue knitted cardigan, which added an intellectual and gentle touch to his look.

Their clothes were simply tailored and modified from the sports uniforms provided by the production team, successfully evoking memories for the recommenders.

Isn't that the school uniform from the TV show?

Yes, I usually wear this outfit for practice sessions, but I wear the suit whenever I'm eliminated.

I know I'm going to be outdated as soon as I put on that suit; I've developed PTSD from it.

[Haha, me too! I feel reassured when I see them wearing these workout outfits.]

I miss those days when we all laughed and joked together. It's almost over, and I'm so sad...

[I'm reluctant to let it go +1. Even if it's just for the sake of the recommender, can't "My Favorite Treasure 101" just air an episode?]

The two sang their song "Maple Leaves" to a sad and beautiful accompaniment. Their assigned theme was "acquisition," which describes how "after hard work, a small harvest was finally achieved, and the boy achieved a small success in getting what he loved."

Since Ye Zhixi had to adapt to the cute style and couldn't fully express herself, Qin Feng basically controlled the creative rhythm. The two of them discussed it and decided to use the stage to create a CP (couple pairing). Others probably wouldn't do that, so they could stand out, make an impression on the general public, and increase the CP votes.

Thus, a stage with lyrics, music, and choreography specially created for the Maple Leaf CP was created.

[This term seems to be referring to their secret relationship after they came to the show.]

I felt this way when I listened to the song, and now I feel it even more strongly when I see the choreography.

No need to feel it, it is!

As the music ended and the lights dimmed, the faces of the two characters, initially misaligned, gradually drew closer, appearing from a certain angle to be kissing. This caused screams to erupt throughout the venue, and the director, ever the opportunist, captured this moment, triggering an explosion of comments in the live stream.

【Aaaaaaah, the maple leaves are real!】

[The maple leaves are real!] x999

Can this be broadcast? Can this really be broadcast?

……

Song Wenchen's black leather deep V-neck top reflected the sheen of the leather under the concert lights, and she wore a bright pink fluorescent jacket over it, which was very eye-catching. Shi Chu, on the other hand, wore a more conservative all-black leather top and bottom, which was simple and capable.

……

When Song Wenchen and Shi Chu came on stage, Lu Yun and Luo Xi had already gone backstage to the side to prepare. Some concert fans in the distance in this direction had already seen them and were calling their names.

Luo Xi and Lu Yun waved to their fans.

After waving, Luo Xi put her index finger to her lips, pointed to Song Wenchen and Shi Chu's stage, and gestured for the audience to look over there. She sang along while making small gestures to support Song Wenchen.

……

"Next stage... Please welcome Luo Enxi and Lu Yun to bring us 'Twilight'."

"It's our turn."

"Let's go, have some fun, and make everyone scream!"

Lu Yun and Luo Xi bumped fists and then walked onto the stage.

The wind above felt a bit cool, but it wasn't cold in summer, just very refreshing.

On this large, empty stage, they stood in their designated positions.
