I desperately want to win on the peninsula

In the MONSTAX dorm, a string of small light bulbs hung from the railings of the bunk beds, casting a warm, dim glow that was surprisingly cozy. It was probably arranged by some unknown Lee Minhyuk, who was in a great mood.

"Holy crap!! Something's happened!!"

Zhou Xian, who shared a dorm room with Lin Qianqiao, jumped out of bed and hurriedly called out to Lin Qianqiao, who was lying in bed playing games:

"The content of the 'SMTM' program has been leaked! The list of the top 16 has been published, and all the details of the competition format have been revealed. It's going viral on all the major forums and social media platforms!"

"Really?" Lin Qianqiao replied casually without even looking up, his eyes filled with the desire to destroy, his hands controlling the character to hack and slash wildly, feeling incredibly satisfied.

"Look at the news!" Zhou Xian held up his phone for Lin Qianqiao, who didn't care at all, to see. His sincerity was so genuine that he was practically pouring his heart out to him.

"..." Lin Qianqiao shifted her body, turned her head away, and continued playing the game without even looking.

This pretentious act infuriated Zhou Xian, who was so angry that he kept shaking his index finger, unable to vent his frustration.

Immediately afterward, the phone under the pillow, which had been vibrating wildly, responded. Lin Qianqiao reached for the phone and saw that the screen displayed Li Rongzhen's name, so he knew it must be true. He glanced at Zhou Xian and said, "I'll take this call..."

Then he casually put down his Switch, picked up his phone, swiped to answer, and picked up the call.

Compared to Lin Qianqiao's composure, Zhou Xian was a bit impatient. Seeing her calmly answer the phone, he immediately grabbed his phone and began frantically searching for connections and information.

It's funny, just the day before yesterday we were recording for "SMTM" and the production team kept coming up with some really controversial and ruthless challenges.

I don't know if "SMTM" was maliciously edited.

If we're going to count it, it should be considered a case of evil being punished.

After some time, Lin Qianqiao put down the phone and lay back in bed. She saw Zhou Xian sitting on his side, frantically switching between pages on his phone. The page would be refreshed in just a few seconds. He switched to another app to watch. Seeing how focused Zhou Xian was on browsing, Lin Qianqiao didn't disturb him.

In the phone call just now, Lee Young-jin explained some things to him; the source of the leak was an audience member who participated in the producer's performance that day.

It was even leaked on the same day, and at first passersby had no reaction and thought it was fake.

However, after the Zico incident, people both inside and outside the circle began to search for information about him, and they saw this post and forwarded it.

As the number of participants increased, people began to verify the authenticity of the information. With more and more people paying attention, several media organizations directly posted photos of the performance at that time, including the accurate list of the top 16.

The reason he trended on social media was largely due to Zico's scandal; the production team should be very grateful to him.

On the other hand, SMTM will be broadcast on time tonight, and many people outside the entertainment circle who are just looking for fun have already started waiting for the show's results based on this list.

It's not hard to guess that this episode's ratings will definitely break new records, because so many people are paying attention now, both inside and outside the entertainment industry, and it's hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

But this shouldn't be a problem for the players.

So, after listening to the phone call, Lin Qianqiao lay back down on the bed. This time, instead of playing games, she picked up her phone and replied to a few messages.

EXY and Seol-ah were probably drawn in by the trending news and knew that Lim Chien-chiao was still participating in the program, so they sent a few messages expressing their concern.

EXY is fine, but Xue'e has been acting strangely lately, her messages seem a bit hesitant... Minatozaki Sana clearly said she wanted to be good friends, but she hasn't contacted me at all since the incident. Lin Qianqiao suddenly felt a distance between them, thinking that she had become a bit arrogant.

Surprisingly, there was still news about Kim HyunA, so I chatted with her for a bit.

"You don't seem too worried..."

"What's there to worry about? The production team should be the ones to worry. Besides, I'm just a little idol, so there's nothing to worry about, no worries~"

I've seen all sorts of strange things in this industry. It's just a content leak incident; it's really not a big deal.

After a few seconds of silence, a message popped up again. Lin Qianqiao glanced at it and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Since you're not worried at all, let's go out for drinks. I'm all alone."

"Just finished drinking, next time..."

Less than two seconds later, the other party replied with a picture without saying a word.

"picture."

Lin Qianqiao clicked on the picture and looked at it a few more times; it was indeed very convincing.

This woman is dressed very attractively today. She still has her signature long, flowing blonde hair, a rosy complexion, and slightly dreamy eyes. She wears sparkly earrings and a beige off-shoulder short-sleeved top. Under the lights, the snow-white skin below her neck is dazzling.

Perhaps due to the angle of the shot, the shadows are somewhat hidden... the peaks and ridges.

He admitted that he had underestimated this person a bit, and now he was actually thinking about going.

However, he could do nothing but sigh.

If someone in a good family has a personal assistant in the next room, it's difficult for them to even go out unless someone helps them.

Thinking of this, Lin Qianqiao glanced at Zhou Xian. This guy wasn't as smart as Ren Changjun, who was already asleep. Asking him for help was no better than just telling his assistant that he was going out for a stroll. He was just asking for trouble.

Perhaps seeing that Lin Qianqiao hadn't replied to messages for a long time, another message came through.

"How about I come over?"

Upon seeing Kim HyunA's message, Lin Qianqiao raised an eyebrow, unconcerned. She knew that this senior was no stranger to suitors, and that it was a bit of wishful thinking to personally attend a meeting after being rejected.

So he replied without even thinking.

"OK."

"Dream on!"

Seeing this expected reply, Lin Qianqiao smiled without any surprise.

That same night, 1battle1 is one of the underlying principles of underground hip-hop and one of the projects that best showcases talent. Audiences who value this aspect are definitely paying close attention, and the show was already generating a lot of buzz after the trailer was released.

The previous episode already foreshadowed that Lin Qianqiao would most likely call out Andub to kill him, and there's also the feud between Song Minhao and Neida Ge, which is what most loyal viewers are concerned about.

With Zico's real incident attracting a large number of people outside the circle for entertainment, coupled with the leaked list incident, all these factors combined to create quite a stir, and the forum was thriving.

The only issue is that there are some discrepancies in the list of the top 16, such as the doubts surrounding One and Lilboi on the list above.

These two have already been eliminated from the broadcast program.

However, the show remains very popular, as it has attracted a lot of discussion among passersby.

However, Lin Qianqiao's decision not to kill Andub was puzzling. It was only later, with the help of fans clarifying the situation, that many casual observers felt they had stumbled upon some juicy gossip. It turns out that MONSTAX and Zico had this feud, no wonder...

However, the inside guy was dragged into the controversy, with people believing that he had taken advantage of Song Min-ho's popularity and then chose a female contestant to challenge him one-on-one. This part aroused public outrage, both among the audience and casual viewers.

Aside from fans with a particular fondness for him, they actually show special support for this person, which is quite a unique taste.

Especially Snoopy, the dog featured in the show's trailer, whose identity is no joke. Being invited to participate in the show naturally sparked a lot of discussion online.

The SMTM program alone has made it onto several trending topics.

It's clear that this is the result of everyone's joint efforts.

This level of popularity wouldn't exist without anyone, especially Real Bro, who spearheaded the initial buzz and got involved himself.

All I can say is, that's incredibly visionary...

Unfortunately, the fans weren't buying it. They couldn't see his hard work and genuine dedication, and instead went to the official SMTM website to leave messages telling him to get out of the show.

With no response, the production team decided to launch a counterattack, revealing previously undisclosed details.

They directly posted a group photo of Lim Gan-chiao, Joo Hyun, One, and Song Min-ho on social media.

This photo happens to be the combination of the raid mission, which easily sparks the imagination. It includes not only loyal viewers, but also fans of the four individuals, as well as a large group of casual onlookers.

This picture was very meaningful from the start, subtly pointing to the idols forming teams.

The main producer and director, Lee Sang-geun, personally took to the stage, giving interviews to television media and offering his comments on the participating contestants.

He highlighted two people, Song Min-ho and Lim Gan-chiao, believing that the show's popularity wouldn't have been possible without the help of the idol contestants. After giving his comments, he offered his blessings to both of them, showing his high regard for them. It all seemed quite convincing.

The production team probably thought that the idols' fans would speak up for SMTM, but they were overthinking it. The subsequent rhythm and trend were not quite right. They didn't realize that the show was inherently prone to beef.

Ultimately, they started arguing about the topic, mainly because Song Min-ho's fans didn't buy it and felt that the production team was biased towards Lim Gan-chiao.

Because the center position in the photo wasn't occupied by my Song Min-ho oppa, why is Lin Qian-qiao, a nobody, in the spotlight? This has escalated into a battle for the top spot.

They felt that the focus of controversy and criticism between idol rappers and underground rappers always fell on Song Min-ho, who struggled to move forward despite the pressure of the fourth season's popularity.

Lin Qianqiao, aside from initially being criticized, turned out to be a parasite who secretly profited from both sides' popularity. The two were simply not on the same level, so Song Minhao's fans did not accept Lee Sang-geun's words at all.

Song Mino comes from a major company and has a strong background. He broke a lot of records upon his debut and was called a monster rookie. I think Song Mino should be singled out and given special attention, rather than being compared with some unknown nobody.

Enough with the chatting, let's get started.
