33 Transition Chapter

At first, people didn't take Kaleido's arrival seriously.

Including M company's current leading boy group B-boys.

B-boys debuted in 2021, and with the halo of their seniors, they have become a huge hit. Not only do their fans pay attention to them, but all of Korea is eagerly anticipating this beloved "youngest son."

As a result, they immediately broke the first-day listening and likes records for a new group, sweeping all the rookie awards that year. The following year, they continued to develop their reputation as a "monster rookie" and began to expand into Europe and the United States.

The following year, a bullying scandal erupted among the group members. That same year, the group's most popular leader was confirmed to be dating a female idol of the same age. To make matters worse, the quality of their albums that year declined, sparking widespread dissatisfaction among fans.

After a year of silence, B-boys' performance declined seriously. The company held a meeting and decided to form a new boy group to save the boy group market that was about to collapse.

Naturally, B-boys fans were dissatisfied with the company's decision and organized a long period of protest. It's said that during that period, truck drivers near the company were paid handsomely just to sleep in their trucks.

Song Qixian also knew about this. Ahem, there were plenty of opportunities to distribute flyers during that time.

B-boys fans are strongly opposed to the company's upcoming new group, but they don't pay much attention to this foreign "son" Kaleido.

The mere fact that there aren't a single veteran of Club M in the Fifth Division tells you this group isn't valued by the company. Their immediate priority is to do everything they can to discredit that new, unborn boy group.

It was under such circumstances that the five people of Kaleido joined the company.

President Choi took the staff of Death's original company and went ahead. The remaining four people waited for Park Yoo-eun, who only discovered that she had lost her things after arriving at the place.

M Company is worthy of being one of the four major entertainment companies in South Korea. It has built a 45-story building, which is like a giant pillar, firmly rooted in the earth.

The prosperity of the M company's headquarters has boosted the surrounding economy. Song Qixian saw many passers-by coming and going. From time to time, some people took photos and checked in at the building, and there were girls who looked like fans staring at them again and again.

Unfortunately, Kaleido was too blurry, and the girl didn't recognize who they were until they entered.

Ming Shangyu and a few others received access cards in turn. Before entering the elevator, the front desk clerk kindly reminded them that ordinary employees were not allowed to go up to the floors after the 33rd floor.

As the figures of the five Kaleido members disappeared from sight, the receptionist opened the kkt gossip group and excitedly sent a message.

"Guys, I just met the members of the new boy band!"

"Is it the new regiment of the first branch? Don't they like to weld masks on their faces?"

"Is he handsome? I heard there's a guy like Park Jung-hyun among the five members." (Note: Park Jung-hyun is a male star who became popular in the 1980s and is loved by Koreans for his beautiful face.)

"It's not that mysterious group, but the group brought by the acquired company. It's the only group currently in the newly established Fifth Branch."

"Kaleido? I really like their songs."

"Yes! All five members are very handsome and polite. Let me tell you something, I think this group's physique and temperament are just as good as the first branch."

"It's a shame it's the Fifth Division."

"It's a shame it's the Fifth Division."

Song Qixian and his four companions took the elevator to the 24th floor and met President Cui, whom they had not seen for a long time. No, now they should call him Minister Cui.

Minister Cui was clean-shaven, and though he looked a little tired, his eyes sparkled. He warmly greeted all the members of Kaleido, and when it was Song Qixian's turn, he patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him to keep working hard.

"Family Fun" has concluded its run, achieving record-breaking ratings for tvN this year. Lead actress Son Eun-ah shattered her child star status and joined the ranks of adult actors. The actor who played the male lead, Cheong-hwan, has garnered widespread recognition for his role and is expected to win awards.

As for Song Qixian, who plays the male No. N, he also attracted the attention of many viewers and was on several hot posts during the broadcast of the drama thanks to his rivalry with the female lead.

Among them, the clip of Yoon Min-woo's final scene was shared thousands of times on Twitter.

It was a scene that left a deep impression on Song Qixian. Yoon Min-woo was admitted to Seoul University. Before leaving, he said goodbye to Kim Eun-mi.

Eun-mi is still very dull when it comes to feelings. Although she and Qinghuan have opened their hearts to each other, she still cannot understand the affection hidden deep in Yoon Min-woo's eyes.

Eun-mi unknowingly wished Yoon Min-woo a smooth college life. Yoon Min-woo looked at Eun-mi who was still smiling happily at him, and suddenly an impulse arose in his heart.

He wanted to express his feelings to Eun-mi, even if they could never be together. He just wanted Eun-mi to tell him whether she also had feelings for him.

But in the end, Yoon Min-woo said nothing.

He knew that once he asked this question, Eun-mi would no longer be so comfortable in his presence.

"We are good friends, right? Kim Eun-mi." Yoon Min-woo stared at Eun-mi with his bright eyes without blinking. He knew this was the last time he would look at her like this.

"Of course, you are my friend, Jin Eun-mi, who took the initiative to take a fancy to you."

Eun-mi grabbed Yoon Min-woo's hand and made a fist. A clear, resounding voice echoed, still full of that familiar energy.

"Goodbye! I'll wait for you in Seoul—"

Yoon Min-woo shouted loudly in Eun-mi's direction. From a distance of several dozen meters, Eun-mi waved to him with her back to her.

As soon as he turned around, Yoon Minwoo's expression suddenly changed.

There was something that looked like tears in his eyes, but they didn't fall.

He looked up at the sky, his lips curled up. Perhaps he was mourning the loss of his first love, but he wasn't depressed. The future was always worth looking forward to.

Song Qixian became a hot topic because of his acting in this scene, and this is also his only solo hot topic.

The comment with the most likes reads:

Eun-mi missed the purest love.

Song Qixian, who finally became a little famous on major platforms with the role of Yoon Min-woo, had no time to be happy before he received an invitation from screenwriter Ha Mi-sook.

Song Qixian then got another job opportunity. This time, the character he had to challenge was that of a super rich second generation.

No one expected Song Qixian's success. They had only heard that he had some talent, but they didn't expect that he would be noticed by the well-known screenwriter Ha Meishu right after he finished filming a drama.

Unlike director Kong Zhimin, screenwriter Ha Mi-sook is a hot commodity among the younger generation of actors, as she excels at idol dramas where two men compete for one woman, quickly making all three leads famous.

You know, idol dramas are the foundation of many young actors' careers. Not everyone can get a good script, and a drama that is guaranteed to be a hit is worth a try, even if it is a cheesy one.

As the favored second male lead, Song Qixian was treated warmly by Minister Cui.

Song Qixian, a minor who is still under the age of 19, has been subjected to social malice since childhood and has never received so much praise.

He felt guilty after being praised so much. What if his acting skills were not good enough?

Song Qixian always suspected that his acting wasn't that good, but was simply due to the director's guidance. After leaving directors Kim Seo-jin and Kong Ji-min, could the next director bring out his best?

-

This is Song Qixian's second year in the company and also his third month as an employee of M Company.

The highly anticipated new five-member boy group from M-company, Nexus, has debuted.

Although not as popular as its senior brothers, Nexus still set off a new wave.

At that time, all the Kaleido members were preparing for their first comeback, six months after their return, and this time, they were all full of confidence.

The "junior brothers" above have been showered with luxury since their debut, appearing on numerous national variety shows and even securing television MC slots. Kaleido, on the other hand, has nothing, making one want to sing, "A fatherless child is like a weed."

But the good news is that Kaleido finally has marketing for its return this time.

In other words, Koreans finally know that the group that sang "Butterfly" is coming back! Yoon Min-woo, Eun-mi's senior from "Family Fun," is also in that group!

As one of the Big Four entertainment companies, M Company has exerted its due power, and Chinese fans have felt it most deeply.

When we were still in that three-story building, the group variety show was interesting but also very simple. The scene of street performances a few months ago is still vivid in my mind.

After the acquisition, the group's budget skyrocketed, and the kids no longer had to earn their own money to buy fried chicken! (crying)

The above is the fans’ self-report.

Of course, the most intuitive difference is the production of the return album, both in appearance and content.

The album box is no longer a thin stack of paper, but is now made of environmentally friendly materials with a high-quality texture and exquisite appearance. In the published production credits, fans noticed the name of an internationally renowned mixing master.

Whether or not Choi Byung-hee is a hidden talent, he's undoubtedly devoted to Kaleido, meticulously polishing the production of each song. Consequently, he doesn't place many demands on the company, save for one: he needs the best production team.

The top management agreed, and Choi Byung-hee wanted to gain something.

The running-in and debugging of each song is a very long process. During this period, Song Qixian continued to hone his expression management as an idol.

It is a sad news that Ha Mi-sook's new drama has been temporarily shelved due to the failure of the original male lead, and the start time is tentatively scheduled to be two months later.

Song Qixian then began to study his basic skills as an idol more seriously.

Perhaps influenced by his environment, Song Qixian's competitive spirit grew stronger. He still liked his teammates, but gradually began to internalize their strengths, learning from them and striving to surpass them.

He wants to be a good actor, but he also wants to do well as an idol. Many examples show that there are many successful predecessors who have crossed over into different fields, and he wants to learn from them.
