27 Good news: The song is popular
"Butterfly" has indeed become a hit, climbing all the way from 46th on the real-time chart to the top of the daily chart. This has led many K-pop fans to ask in the comments section of the daily music chart review: "What kind of group is this? I've never heard of them."
So fans, led by Tanya, now have an additional task: to promote Kaleido under various videos.
The effect was there. Out of curiosity, many people quickly went to the official account to watch the MV of Divine Punishment and formed a preliminary impression of this five-member group.
However, relying solely on fan recommendations and an MV won't keep these people around. While "Butterfly" is pleasant, a sweet little song that hasn't caught on on short videos can only serve to attract fans.
The K-pop circle is getting smaller and smaller nowadays. Most of the people on it have liked or are currently liking a certain Korean group. It is impossible to win the favor of these people without some skills.
Although the company and the entire Kaleido band tried hard to break into China, they did not spend a lot of money on marketing, and too few people knew about them, so they only sold more than 3,000 albums in China.
Despite this, China is already their most popular place, and the total album sales are only 5,000 copies.
The rise of "Butterfly" on the Korean music charts attracted some people's attention, and then someone ignited it on a certain forum. In the end, no one remembered that this newly debuted sixth-generation boy group was the protagonist of the day. Everyone's attention was focused on the four major boy groups.
Kaleido was once again ignored by Shui Lingling.
But there was no way around it; small company groups were always discriminated against. While the "passersby" offered encouragement to this "three-no" company, which had the potential to be a shining light for small companies, they were actually sympathetic.
No one would believe that with the development of K-pop today, there would still be a grassroots group that would soar to the sky.

The day after realizing their song was gaining some momentum, the entire Kaleido group was on the first floor of a shopping mall. Today, they were going to perform on a stage set up in the middle of the mall.
The shop owner who had invited them to perform had invited several groups, both boy bands and girl bands. Shen Minghe took a look at them with great interest, but was disappointed.
These groups are similar to theirs, all of them debuted from some unknown small company.
Fortunately, we all share the same plight. We are all obscure bands that can’t even get into group concerts.
Thinking of this, Shen Minghe was happy.
Seeing his younger brother so happy, Park Yoo-eun curiously asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Seeing that the other three brothers' attention was drawn to him, Shen Minghe happily said what he had just thought of: "Well, I just thought that if we put the four groups here together in one concert, I'm afraid no one would come in."
Everyone laughed, and Zhou Heyu added, "I think some people will come for the free lunch. If all else fails, we can just have the audience sit on Minghe's lap. Tickets should be at least 3,000 won each."
Shin Myung-hyuk pretended to hit someone, and Zhou Heyu quickly hid behind Song Qixian, while Park Yoo-eun next to him quickly made room for the youngest member.
They were chatting and laughing here, not knowing that the other three groups backstage were also very curious about them.
Judging from their looks alone, the five members of Kaleido are much better than those of other groups. It’s not that groups from small companies don’t have idols with decent looks, but there’s no group like this where everyone has decent looks and height.
For example, it is difficult for large companies to find trainees who have the right combination of looks, height and ability. Most of them only have one of the qualities, and it is rare to find trainees who have both.
It's not that every one of the five Kaleido players is incredibly handsome, but rather that they're all above average. That's already quite unusual.
Seeing Kaleido and the others chatting so happily, their already good-looking faces became even more handsome, and some people in the only four-member girl group among the four groups were ready to make a move.
The girl with long curly hair has a crush on the most dazzling red-haired boy among the five, so she asks her teammate with shoulder-length straight hair to help her get kkt.
This is very common in the idol circle, and sometimes just one or two glances can make a "good relationship" happen.
The girl with shoulder-length straight hair was forced by her teammates to get Park Yoo-eun's phone number, but she was too embarrassed to ask directly, so she quietly approached the person who looked the friendliest in the group.
This person was Song Qixian. He was watching his brothers and younger brother playing with a smile, but he didn't expect a girl to walk straight towards him and pat him on the back gently.
The girls' initiative to strike up a conversation naturally could not be hidden from the brothers. Everyone touched each other and looked at the most serious younger brother (older brother) among the five with teasing eyes.
Shin Myung Hyuk whispered to Park Yoo Eun, "I was saying that Ki Hyun has completely changed. Three months ago, no girl would have been the first to fall in love with him."
Park Yoo Eun nodded, but then he defended his roommate: "If he looks down on him, does he look down on you? Little brat."
Shen Minghe blushed. Although he had a good-looking face, it was too childish. God knew that what he hated most was acting cute.
Song Qixian felt a little embarrassed by his brother's teasing. When he faced the girl, he took her a little further away and asked her gently, "What's wrong?"
The girl with shoulder-length straight hair was a little nervous at first, but for some reason, under Song Qixian's gentle gaze, she gradually became less nervous.
She whispered, "Hello, my teammate wants your friend's contact information. Can you give it to me?" while pointing in the direction of Park Yoo Eun.
Song Qixian was stunned for a moment. Facing the girl's expectant eyes, he ruthlessly rejected her: "I'm sorry, I can't give you my teammate's contact information."
After being rejected, the girl couldn't help but look back at her teammates, and saw the student with long curly hair looking in her direction with a smile.
As if he saw something from the face of the girl with shoulder-length straight hair, the corners of her mouth gradually drooped and her eyes became cold.
The girl with shoulder-length straight hair shuddered all over, feeling anxious. She put a hand on Song Qixian's arm and begged him, "Could you please ask your friend for my opinion? What if, what if he is willing?"
Startled by the girl's actions, Song Qixian took two steps back and broke free from her hand. Seeing the girl's anxious and pale face, he could only comfort her: "Then I'll ask for you."
Song Qixian returned to the group of brothers and sisters. Zhou Heyu teased him with a smile: "What do you think? You won't really accept it, will you? Brother, let me tell you, our company has a three-year no-dating agreement."
Song Qixian shook his head. He looked at Park Youen and said, "She came to ask for Youen's contact information."
Park Yoo Eun was originally still smiling, but after hearing this, his face suddenly darkened and he said, "I don't like girls who confess to me."
After leaving these unclear words, Park Yoo-eun strode away with a dark face. Ming Shangyu gave Shen Minghe a look, and the latter quickly chased after him.
Leaving the others completely bewildered, Zhou Heyu asked curiously, "Isn't Park Youen being too sentimental? She didn't even say she wanted to confess her feelings to him."
Ming Shangyu knew something, and he signaled Song Qixian to reject the girl.
Without further ado, the girl understood Park Yoo-eun's answer. Her face turned even paler, which made her, who was already thin, look even more pitiful.
Song Qixian couldn't help but ask with concern: "You, are you suffering from hypoglycemia? I'll go get your teammates to help you."
The girl with shoulder-length hair lowered her head and refused his help.
When Song Qixian saw her return to her teammates and saw her teammates supporting her in a friendly manner, he no longer cared about her.
Park Yoo-eun came back soon, but he obviously hadn't recovered and still didn't look very happy.
Song Qixian thought that his unnecessary action had offended him. Not wanting the misunderstanding to last even a second, Song Qixian approached Park Yoo-eun to apologize.
"I'm sorry, Youen. I was very anxious to see that girl, so... If I did something wrong, can you forgive me?"
Park Yoo-eun looked listless and didn't answer.
Zhou Heyu couldn't stand Park Youen's unreasonable and self-righteous attitude, so he pulled Song Qixian away.
"Ignore him. He's always angry for no reason. Does he really think he's the eldest young master? Let's go. We won't serve him."
Park Yoo-eun sat on the steps in a daze, and an incident that happened a long time ago came to her mind.
A girl blushed as she passed a message to her friend. He saw it was just another old confession, so he sneered at her. After passing by the girl, he saw the girl hiding in the corner, looking pale and very unhappy.
Later, what happened?
He seemed to have trouble remembering.
"Butterfly" was scheduled to be the last song to be sung, so the five members of Kaleido waited and waited backstage, listening to the host in front of them talking nonsense one sentence after another, and the youngest member was already drowsy.
Song Qixian gently patted his brother's shoulder. Seeing that his brother was still unconscious, he put his hot hand on his brother's forehead to wake him up.
Then his worried eyes drifted towards Park Yoo Eun.
Youen is in a very low mood. What happened to him?
Today should be a very happy day.
As it got darker, the lights in the mall became brighter and more and more people came.
At ten o'clock, they finally took the stage and performed their own songs for the first time on a non-promotional stage.
Familiar music sounded and passers-by stopped to enjoy it. When they saw the five young and energetic teenagers, they couldn't help but smile.
The song didn't require any complicated choreography, so everyone sang effortlessly with the mics on.
The song is nice and the person is good-looking, so someone openly filmed a video and uploaded it to major websites.

Well, Kaleido still doesn't have a name.
In the company, President Cui grabbed his hair in frustration, his mind full of what the manager of M Company said.
You can't hold on.
With a long sigh, he made another call.
Hope, hope I can hold on a little longer.
