I desperately want to win on the peninsula

The new group basically had no activities, and MONSTAX went back to their dorm as soon as their music show ended.

"Qian Qiao, what are you doing with your laptop so late?"

"I'm going to participate in a show with you in a few days, so let's get some backup beats ready."

In the room, facing her roommate Zhou Xian's questioning gaze, Lin Qianqiao gave a casual reply.

"Aww, why did you take so long to do this? I was all set, the ammunition depot is plentiful, want me to give you two?"

Upon hearing that this was the issue, Zhou Xian, hands on his hips, walked over to Lin Qianqiao, who was still busy, and offered to help with great enthusiasm, showing exceptional generosity towards the youngest member of the group.

"Zhou Xianxi, think about the consequences of using your ammunition depot." Lin Qianqiao said with a hint of helplessness, "The show we're participating in should be called 'SMTM,' not 'Go! Men, Go!' right?"

"Well... I just felt sorry for you because you were working so hard so late at night!" Zhou Xian was initially a little embarrassed, and his voice softened...

His mind was still racing, trying to figure out how to change the situation. Suddenly, words of understanding for Lin Qianqiao came out of his mouth, making his tone more and more forceful, and he even straightened his back.

"If you feel sorry for me, go cook me a bowl of instant noodles. I'm hungry."

"Fine, I'll go."

Zhou Xian swung his hands on his hips and went off to cook noodles for Lin Qianqiao with an air of arrogance.

But Lin Qianqiao, who knew him well, knew that this was a hasty retreat. The main reason was that the hip-hop program used the beat he wrote, so he might as well find a tofu block and smash his head against it... This was not the way to get scolded.

Rappers are extremely particular about the credits on their songs. If they use someone else's beat without creating anything themselves, or if they buy someone else's beat to use, they will be met with diss and ridicule from people in the industry. This is all predicated on the rapper having popularity.

It just so happens that both Lin Qianqiao and Zhou Xian, members of MONSTAX, have a certain level of popularity.

Lin Qianqiao and Zhou Xian are currently the two most promoted members of the group. This is clear from the content posted on Starship's official SNS.

Even before his debut, he had solo cover shoots and magazine photoshoots, usually Lin Qianqiao was involved more often, and his good looks were favored by the management...

Getting back to the main topic, there's also the variety show "SMTM" that he's currently involved in.

To put it simply, apart from two members who have scheduled activities, the other members basically stay in their dorms doing nothing, or practice at the company on their own. That's about it.

It was because she had to go back to the company to attend classes, coupled with Starship actively providing resources, that Lin Chien-Chiao was able to participate in this hip-hop program.

If he had a choice, he wouldn't be very interested in this show.

However, this show has one advantage: it can significantly boost the popularity of groups. For example, the champion of the third season last year was a member of YG's iKON, who had released a single before their debut and achieved considerable success.

The show is incredibly popular right now, with countless fans eagerly awaiting iKON's debut, which shows just how effective it is.

For this purpose, participating in the show to show their faces and boost their popularity is naturally a great thing. That's what the company was thinking, which is why they immediately pushed two members to participate.

Finally, Zhou Xianzhen cooked a big bowl of instant noodles for Lin Qianqiao, along with kimchi and a fried egg.

Another roommate was stunned when she returned to the room after taking a shower. It was Im Chang-kyun (im), who was the same age as Lim Chien-chiao. The former was born in April and the latter in January. Both were the youngest members of the group.

When he saw the noodles were cooked, he went straight to the kitchen without thinking and grabbed a bowl to share.

Finally, the two slurped up the instant noodles, and the large portion filled them up.

……

Nothing more was said that night. MONSTAX's music show performance hadn't even started yet, so the group naturally continued their performances.

With June approaching, it's inevitable that entertainment companies will announce the return of their artists and groups.

Sistar, the pillar of Starship Troopers and senior labelmate of Monstax, will be making a comeback in mid-June, bringing with them their signature summery and refreshing tracks.

The bad news is that they will be facing competition from two popular boy groups, EXO and BIGBANG, as well as AOA and Girl's Day, who are performing at the same time. It's not hard to guess how exciting their upcoming music show performances will be.

Small groups struggling to survive face a tough situation, like the CLC members exchanging greetings with MONSTAX in the waiting area.

CLC debuted in February of this year. They are a new girl group from Cube Entertainment. Their debut was somewhat successful, and they even debuted in Japan in April.

Unfortunately, their first return was to face this group of monsters. All they could see were endless, towering peaks, and they had no choice but to despair at the sight of the boundless, layer upon layer of mountains.

Even if CLC's seniors Apink and 4mintte came, the lineup in June would be tough. If they clashed head-on, they would both be skinned alive and bleeding profusely.

Therefore, Lin Qianqiao looked at Cui Youzhen with a sense of empathy and gave her a perfectly timed smile: "Oh my god, Cui Youzhen-xi."

"Annyeonghaseyo, Linqianqiaoxi."

Choi Yoo-jin has a healing face, clear and lively eyes, and fluttering eyelashes when she blinks. At this moment, she looks like a silly spore that has stopped and stood still when she sees something new. Her smile is very pleasant.

As expected, Lin Qianqiao was in a good mood when he saw her playful appearance, which at least added a bit of color to the boring music show schedule.

What can you possibly learn from chatting with that huge group of male idols from SVT in the same waiting room all the time?

Since the results are already set and there won't be any more buzz, it's better to watch more female idols on stage and take care of your mental and physical health.

The album gifts have already been exchanged, and all that's left is for the two team leaders to exchange the necessary pleasantries.

On the other side, Lin Qian smiled and said, "I wish you all the best in your CLC's debut stage performance and a successful comeback."

"Hey, Kamsammida, MONSTAX, keep it up! Fighting!!"

Choi Yoo-jin raised her little fist and gave a thumbs-up.

Interestingly, Choi Yoo-jin was quietly pushed over from behind by her teammate to chat, which Lin Qianqiao noticed from the beginning.

The situation is clear at a glance.

However, seeing that she was at a loss and took the initiative to speak, Lin Qianqiao appropriately echoed her with a few words, so as not to make Cui Youzhen feel embarrassed.

Seeing how energetic she is now, she must be full of enthusiasm. Young people's dreams are so simple; they are always full of vitality and confidence.

It's worth mentioning that the two are the same age. Choi Yoo-jin, born in 96, is a few months younger than him. As a senior who is a few months older, Lim Gon-hyo was really gratified to see this.

His spirit had been completely worn down by the boring music show schedule, and now he was just a wisp of a soul clinging to life.

The flame at the finish line is yours to pass on and light... With Shinji, Fighting, you can do it!

"Yes! We at MONSTAX will definitely work hard." Lin Qianqiao nodded without hesitation. In any case, they would be done in a week, so agreeing was only natural. It was a way of repaying her positive emotional response.

"Hehe... Let's work together."

"Definitely! Fighting!"

"Fighting!"

The two men gave each other a pep talk, looking quite spirited.

But to the others in the waiting room, this scene looked more like a calm fox teasing a lively rabbit, except the girl being teased was unaware of it, and her expression gradually became serious.

Her little face becomes quite interesting when she gets serious, gradually creating a striking contrast that makes her even more adorable, and she also becomes more and more energetic.

Zhang Chengyan, a member who knew her well, knew that things were doomed as soon as she saw the situation. She knew that Choi Yoojin was the kind of person who was slow and deliberate, but once she was ignited, she would become very outgoing and lively. This was exactly what she was doing on the spot.

However, Lin Qianqiao did not let this scene continue, because the two captains had finished their pleasantries and knew to stop there.

In addition, Choi Yoo-jin's momentum is gradually increasing. Judging from her actions, she is about to stomp her feet, raise her fists, and shout slogans. If she doesn't stop, she's doomed.

More importantly, CLC's manager had already come in to remind them, and the girls quickly greeted him and left the waiting room, presumably to visit other artist groups.

Not surprising; this is always the case for newcomers.

As Choi Yoo-jin was leaving, she secretly glanced at Lin Qianqiao not far away, and was then caught red-handed by her teammate Zhang Chengyan.

As soon as they stepped outside, Zhang Chengyan pulled Cui Youzhen aside and whispered to her at the very edge of the group.

"It's true, stop looking at handsome guys, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"No way... You were the one who pushed me there, you had ulterior motives, you were malicious!"

"Without my help, Zhang Chengyan, would you have had the chance to meet him? Now you're talking about him, and you're happy and fond of him, aren't you?"

"I'm unhappy, I don't like it."

"So you did manage to chat? Did you exchange contact information? He seems really charismatic, and his looks are exceptional..."

"..."

Choi Yoo-jin glanced at Jang Seung-yeon, who was playing a crazy prank, then crossed her arms, turned her head away, and pouted, sulking.

Seeing Cui Youzhen puffing out her cheeks and looking sullen, Zhang Chengyan immediately felt remorseful. A sulking Youzhen was the most troublesome girl, so he could only walk along the corridor and coax her.

She didn't know that Cui Youzhen was faking it. At this moment, Lin Qianqiao's deep and bright eyes gradually appeared in her mind. Just now, she was inexplicably drawn into those bright eyes and stared at his face for a long time.

Of course, it's definitely not because she's infatuated with a guy...

Meanwhile, Lin Qianqiao, who was being discussed, was calmly scrolling through her phone amidst the teasing gazes of her teammates.

Zhou Xian was quite busy. He came over and sat down, bumping shoulders with Lin Qianqiao, acting as if he was the one who had just been approached. He was very smug.

"Daiba!! How many times is this now?"

"If you have nothing to do, do some push-ups, I'll count for you."

To be honest, it's not uncommon for people to approach you like this. I've even seen the legendary card-giving incident before, but Lin Qianqiao just threw it in the trash after looking at it, mainly because the card design wasn't quite right and she had little interest in it.

"To be honest, you don't even need to ask, Zhou Xian, you definitely wouldn't understand..."

"What do you mean?"

"Inui Takumi's Troubles..."

"Lee Minhyuk, can you please stop being so hurtful with your words? And you..."

"Whatever you say, I won't argue."

Lee Min-hyuk delivered a fatal blow with a casual remark, silencing Zhou Xian's spellcasting.

The members had actually enjoyed watching the show quite a bit, and now they were joking around in the waiting room, just using it as a pastime during their boring daily routine.

Amidst the rambling and waiting, after what seemed like an eternity, the TV station staff informed MONSTAX that they were ready to perform.

……

"Watch carefully"

How I disturbed your heart

Look carefully

start from here

I packed it all myself.

In my opinion

Your surroundings are chaotic

Now just wait and see.

Can this be called a crime?

knock knock

... "

In reality, most of the audience members were fans of other groups. There weren't many fans who came to follow MONSTAX, and they only occupied a small portion of the audience seats. Even their support items were homemade. In contrast, the Bigbang fan group next to them was surprisingly large.

But MONSTAX will not disappoint their fans, giving their all on stage.

Responding to the colorful light sticks and cheers from below the stage, accompanied by powerful electronic music, their well-practiced dance moves, and perfectly synchronized knife-like choreography all demonstrated their passion for this stage.

Mainly because they've just debuted, although ineffective promotions are mentally taxing, each member still cherishes the stage and doesn't treat it carelessly. Perhaps that's the original intention of being a rookie.

As the last note faded, the MONSTAX performance came to an end.

The members bowed slightly, waved goodbye, and left the stage.

Today's number one song on M!Countdown is SHINee. They have been in the industry for many years and their style is unique and experimental. They can digest and incorporate all kinds of songs into their music, and their performances are very charming.

The title track "View" is a rather avant-garde deep house song, and it performed very well on the music charts. The album sold 17 copies, making them a top-tier boy group.

The term "avant-garde" in K-pop refers to the House genre, which originated in Chicago, USA, and spread to the UK. It has been popular in the UK for many years, and it has now spread from the UK to the peninsula. This kind of music dissemination is not unusual.

However, this song should set a precedent for EDM composers in the music industry, and there is a high probability that electronic dance music in the house subgenre will flourish on major music websites in the future.

Even Lin Qianqiao had some thoughts on this, listening to the music coming from the stage while considering the direction of the music they would be making next.

Even after leaving the stage, Lin Qianqiao was still thinking about this question as she walked, her attention highly focused, somewhat immersed in her own thoughts.

Even after getting into the nanny van to go back, he was still thinking about it and felt that it was quite promising, so he decided to give it a try when he had time.

Back in the dorm, I chatted with Zhou Xian, who shared the same room. We both thought "View" was pretty good, and the thought of giving it a try instantly came to mind, but we didn't act on it immediately.

Because it's late at night and you need to sleep, and when anyone is in bed, nothing they say is worth believing.

Nothing was said that night, and the rest of the trip was basically the same.

Until the MONSTAX autograph session began, the company's schedule for events was not very tight, with autograph sessions held every other day, which was relatively relaxed.

But there was one more performance stage, which was Monstax's farewell stage, where he performed a ballad called "Honestly".

On stage, the crisp piano intro began, and Yoo Ki-hyun hummed softly along with the accompaniment. As the lead vocalist of the group, he has a solid foundation and his distinctive voice has a gentle and subtle atmosphere.

With Monstax members all sporting simple outfits—white shirts and black straight-leg pants—the dance moves were less dramatic and focused more on the musical effect.

This stage was quite different from Monstax's debut style, but the fans who came to support him were quite satisfied, and cheers rose and fell.

After that, the next step was a book signing event.

MONSTA X's promotional schedule has come to an end. It's a bit of a shame that their seniors Sistar, who made a comeback at the same time, couldn't be there to witness their comeback stage performance on June 22nd.

With limited company resources, Sistar's comeback, as the mainstay of Starship Entertainment, naturally requires a concentrated manpower and budget – for them, who have already become a top-tier girl group, spreading resources may actually affect the results.

Therefore, it was a logical choice for MONSTAX to switch to autograph sessions, which is also a way of giving back to fans who bought the albums.

Meanwhile, Lin Qianqiao and Zhou Xianyao's program "SMTM" is coming soon, and the two are ready to go.
