45: Jiang Seul-ki, the master of suicide

Every night, she was forced to study at her desk until eleven or twelve, and then there were pop quizzes. They wouldn't even let her have a little fun. It was inhumane.

Being smart doesn't mean knowledge will automatically enter your brain; she still needed to study. As a transmigrator, she had no interest in learning those useless things.

Her ultimate dream was to master music, pick up some skills, cash in on the ideas in her head, make some money, and live a leisurely life.

After the last MV finished playing, it was their turn to appear on stage, but Xu Zhiyou was utterly resigned; she couldn't forgive that editor.

She was just thinking about how to drag the person out and beat them up. She was a heroic woman, yet she was edited into a clown. This was their debut showcase!

First impressions really matter. To be presented like this right after appearing! How was she supposed to act cool and dashing later?

"Hey, hey, hey! Get up quickly, it's our time to go on!"

Kim Ji-soo kicked her. It was truly unbearable; this shameless person actually cared about first impressions. It was a sight to behold.

"I'm not going. I can't face anyone!"

"We're not making you face anyone. This is a live stream; below are all reporters, no audience."

Xu Zhiyou glanced at her and said, "I know my idiotic image is going viral online. Thanks for reminding me again and again. Really, thanks!"

For the debut teaser photos, she specifically struck a powerful pose, but the behind-the-scenes footage completely ruined it. So exhausting!

"Hahaha~"

Everyone else was biting their lips, trying to stifle their laughter, fearing Xu Zhiyou might suddenly erupt and beat them up. But Kim Jennie couldn't hold it in; Xu Zhiyou like this was just too amusing.

"Laugh your head off, try to hold it in, or I'll kill you."

Leah directly grabbed her and pulled her up, "Who are you going to kill? Hurry up, can't you tell what's important?"

"Arasso, isn't it just showing my face? Easy peasy!"

She got up, patted her butt, and prepared to go on stage. Once this was over, she'd drag the editor out and give them a good beating. The thought alone made her feel better. Hmph, let's see who dares to mess with her editing again.

"Yeorobun, until now, you've only seen them in videos. Many of you on V Live must be eagerly anticipating this. Now, please welcome our protagonists; come to the stage in order."

The large screen behind them displayed beautiful photos of them from various angles. Xu Zhiyou was strictly forbidden by the company from having any wild or crazy makeup and styling.

Her debut teaser photos were criticized, with people saying she looked like she'd been jailed. These weren't words used to describe artists. The company gave her freedom, but she couldn't completely let herself go.

With a bun on top, slightly curled hair on both sides, and an airy fringe in the middle, along with light makeup, she looked every bit like a young lady from a prominent family, the "white moonlight" for countless men.

"Is this Zoe? She's clearly a goddess with delicate features, why do they insist on making her look like a crazy woman?"

"Compared to the 'tough Unnie' look, I prefer her current makeup and styling. The pinnacle of delicate beauty."

"Why isn't she making good use of this face? Please change back the debut teaser photos. I'll even accept it if it doesn't suit the YG style, just maintain this look."

"And Kim Ji-soo, I strongly suggest Lee Soo-man poach all of them. They don't suit YG."

"They have talent, what can you do? I suggest you go back and watch their debut MV. They suit YG; they just happen to be incredibly good-looking."

"Haha! Does YG not deserve beautiful women? As soon as someone is good-looking, you tell people to poach them. That's incredible. If Yang Hyun-suk saw this, he might die of anger!"

"I thought Irene was the peak of beauty, but I didn't expect there to be someone here who is just as good, if not better."

"The most annoying thing is that she could clearly live off her looks, but she insists on relying on her talent. Isn't that irritating?"

"Yes! She writes her own lyrics and music, choreographs her own dances, and even directs herself. She's a perfect hexagonal warrior with no weaknesses!"

"My Irene! You were born at the wrong time, encountering Zoe. Although reaching the top seems hopeless, I still love you. Hiss! This visual is so good, I'll just stare at the screen for a while."

...

In the TWICE practice room, Lim Nayeon turned Chou Tzuyu's face this way and that, looking at her. Chou Tzuyu was quite annoyed; Na-yeon always liked to pull her around.

"Nayeon-onni, how long are you going to keep twisting my face?"

"Just checking if there's any competition!"

Chou Tzuyu slapped away her wandering hand. Pulling her face was one thing, but she was also touching her butt.

"Competition" my foot. Beauty is subjective, so why all the comparisons?

Kim Dahyun directly exposed her little secret, "Nayeon-onni, I think you just want to take advantage of Ziyu, and you're making so many excuses."

"Kim Dahyun, do you want a beating?"

"Hmph! Which of Mina Ouni, Momo Ouni, or Sana Ouni haven't you touched? The worst part is you didn't even spare me."

"Yah!"

TWICE was having a lively brawl, and Red Velvet was also full of joy. Both groups had iconic beauties, so they naturally paid more attention to beauty.

"Her head is a bit big! Hmm, and she's a bit short. Otherwise, it's really hard to say who would win or lose." Kang Seul-gi, fearless as ever, circled Bae Joo-hyun, commenting as she went.

The coffee cup in Bae Joo-hyun's hand was almost crushed into a paper thin, but Kang Seul-gi didn't notice at all.

Park Soo-young and Son Seung-wan grabbed Kim Yerim and ran away. There was a high probability of eating bear meat tonight; Red Velvet was about to lose this bear.

After coming out, Kim Yerim looked at the two of them and asked, "Ouni, aren't we going to go in and check? I'm afraid Irene will be too harsh, and Seulgi Ouni is the main dancer."

Park Soo-young shook her head repeatedly, "You two go, I'm not going!"

Son Seung-wan also waved her hand. Only a fool would go in and make themselves uncomfortable. Kang Seul-gi could live or die; who told her to court death? She hadn't even had a drink yet, and her words were already so over the top.

"Sigh! Never mind, at most, I'll buy her some medicine. What was Seulgi Ouni thinking, daring to say Irene has a big head and is short? Eww~"

"How would I know what kind of crazy fit she's throwing! We should stay far away so she can't say we abandoned her."

Son Seung-wan ran out into the street. Today wasn't suitable for practice. Park Soo-young and Kim Yerim, hearing the screams, also darted after her.

Back to Xu Zhiyou, looking at the surrounding cameras and the reporters in front, it felt so surreal.

"Annyeonghaseyo, I'm Zoe of BLACKPINK. I hope everyone likes BLACKPINK. Kamsahamnida!"

Park Chaeyoung spoke second. Seeing Xu Zhiyou finish her introduction in just one sentence, what was the point of all the self-introductions she had memorized for so long? This was her 'prepared mental draft'? She really fell for her nonsense!

"Cough cough~"

Xu Zhiyou was speechless at this silly person. Why was she looking at her? She hadn't prepared a script. If she couldn't make something up, there was nothing she could do.

The cameras filmed 360 degrees, and their little movements in the live stream were clearly seen by the audience.

"Zoe's self-introduction is so short and weak. It's like she said nothing at all. The other four BLACKPINK members are all confused! Haha~"

"Rose's huge eye-roll almost went to heaven. Do you think she'll take off her shoe and beat Zoe right there?"

"You never know, it's possible!!!"

...

"Annyeonghaseyo, I'm Rose of BLACKPINK. I've been preparing for our debut during this time, and I'm very excited...."

Her standard self-introduction, combined with her shy expression, was truly amazing. If they didn't spend every day together, she would have thought Park Chaeyoung was very ladylike.
