Chapter 155 Why is this happening?

Among all the teams that merely followed their existing performances, 7IN was the only one that prepared an entirely new performance.

The LED screen evoking a mid-winter atmosphere, the distant sound of the pyeongjong (a traditional Korean percussion instrument).

Additionally, the members' outfits, inspired by the General's battle attire and featuring silver metal details, brought new excitement to the fans.

[Wow, I loved Frozen] [7IN's General is really somethingㅠㅠㅠ] [7IN + Military concept = Success] [Ah, Hyun-su, the arrangement is perfect again] [Oh, Inhyuk's costume is amazingㅠㅠㅠㅠ Northern General's all-in-one] [The lyrics seem to be newly written with a Game of Thrones motif] [Ah, I really love that they never do things half-heartedly; you can feel their sincerity in their performance] [Really, they are performance maniacs] [ㅋㅋㅋㅋ There's a reason why I like Velocé] [Look at how the translation teams have quieted downㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ] [Did all the Chinese fans go to Odi againㅠㅠㅠ]

Despite preparing a stage with a new concept and a reworked arrangement, 7IN's performance had no flaws. The members' performances, themed around the Winter Throne, seemed to have significantly improved compared to their original version of [Unmannered Ones>.

[ㅠㅠㅠ Look at the perfect group danceㅠㅠㅠ] [General's group dance is heavenly.gif] [Ah, the dance is amazing, but what about everyone's faces?] [Yuchan looks like a baby vampireㅠㅠㅠ Black hair and pale makeup are stunning] [Everyone, watch Dynastyㅠㅠㅠ This is our teamㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ] [My dad loves Nation-boosting videos; I think the Chillin' guys will be on Nation-boosting TV tomorrowㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ] [ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Korean idols' performances make Japan astonished and China anxious] [Seriously, it's not because I'm a Chillin' fan; the level is clearly different from other teams] [The throne should be either Velocé or Chillin'] [Of courseㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

Fans had no doubts about the Korean idol teams' ascension to the throne. It was clear that there was a significant difference in visual and objective performance levels.

However, after all the performances and the conclusion of the internal voting, as soon as MC Jeong Hae-jin announced the teams' first ranks, the servers of all online channels mentioning [Dynasty> started crashing.

[Insane] [;;;;;;;;] [What nonsense is this] [Why are Chillin' slaves? Why are Chillin' slaves?] [Are you out of your mind?] [Damn, internal voting was cursed] [Collusion] [Look at how the Chinese and Japanese teams got into the noble and commoner ranks] [Wow, seriously disgusting] [Anyone can seeㅋㅋㅋㅋ that this isㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ] [ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is just absurd] [Why are they deciding this through internal voting;;;;] [Seokuni, is that you again?] [I bet Seokuni was splitting Chillin' when they became slaves] [He probably loved it when the peasant rebellion story came out; it's disgusting] [Seokuni and the Japanese and Chinese teams make no sense] [The Chinese might be upset because they fought with Gunja, but what about the Japanese? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ] [They praised it as superb and then gave us this betrayal] [ㅜㅜㅜ The slave quarters looked really stuffy; I wonder if Gunja is okay] [Gunja can't stand confined spaces] [Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, it's really infuriating] [I'm genuinely angry watching this variety show;;]

Amid the shock and confusion among Korean fans, Chinese and Japanese fans who occupied the noble and commoner ranks were elated.

[The result is correct] [Are Joseon people who don't accept the majority vote against democracy?] [Honestly, I don't understand what's so great about 7IN's performance] [The bell sound was disturbing and felt like a general's carol] [Korean fans are embarrassing] [7IN = The shortest-lived group] [I'm not surprised by this result. Korea has long been a tribute state in East Asia. The team most suited to being slaves has become slaves] [They're making a fussㅋㅋㅋ Then how do you explain Velocé becoming kings?] [Please get rid of this Joseon person] [Woof woof woof, barking won't change the fact that 7IN is a slave]

With the shocking announcement of ranks and the flood of reactions, [Dynasty> Episode 1 ended. All Korean fans, unable to accept the results, saw the entire community set ablaze even after the broadcast ended.

Is a Webflix survival show Dynasty

Idol fans, prepare your blood pressure and keep scrolling

Most of you probably already know

This is the performance video of the Chinese and Japanese teams

Oh, the choreography details are completely disastrousㅋㅋㅋ

The hair and makeup look almost like Big Bang and 2NE1's styles, but I don't even want to mention it

No matter how you look at it objectively, it's a low-quality stage compared to Korean top-tier trainees

(GIFs) (GIFs)

And this is Chillin's stage

I'm not saying this because I'm a fan... but can you even compare this?

Honestly, I thought Korean idols would teach Chinese and Japanese idols and come back with a concept of superiorityㅋㅋ

But the result?

-Does this make any sense?ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-The whole concept of the caste system is absurd, and deciding it through internal voting is ridiculous

-Also, colluding to make the best team slaves was disgusting

-Thinking about Chillin' living as slaves is just heartbreakingㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Please share this widely; everyone in the world needs to know how absurd this situation is... although it seems like it's already become very famousㅋㅋㅋㅋ The problem is that Northern General Inhyuk is now marriedㅅㄱ

SNS was like a battlefield, and the community quickly filled with posts about [Dynasty>.

Fans were furious at the outrageous results but were also worried. They wondered if 7IN, now relegated to a slave status, would continue to suffer in underground quarters for an entire month.

So fans had no choice but to wait for the results of the next round. Even though the current status was dreadful, there was a structure where performance could overturn it, so if they waited another 1-2 weeks, they would find out the results. However, fans' patience was not that plentiful.

[Anyone who went to the audience? Please give us some spoilers] [Why is the non-disclosure agreement being so well followed this timeㅠㅠㅠ] [Seriously, I'm about to lose my mind waiting, please]

Fans wanted spoilers from the audience members. Although they had all signed non-disclosure agreements, they were also fans of 7IN and couldn't ignore their needs. Above all, they wanted to stabilize the restless fandom.

[Dynasty Episode 1 Main Competition Review.jpgtxt (Verified)]

To sum up, there's nothing to worry about!!!! Really

The first competition was about collaborating and decorating performances with ranks. But, as you know, Chillin' was a slave team along with the rock band...^^

As soon as we knew it was a collaboration mission, the audience was all trembling with anxietyㅋㅋㅋㅋ Idol stage and rock band collaboration? No matter how you think about it, the image in our head doesn't make sense. It seemed like they would just play among themselves and have fun.

But it was really unnecessary worryㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

From the start, it was visually shocking... unlike other teams, they began from mid-air. Inhyuk broke a giant block of ice, and I seriously thought he was Thorㅋㅋㅋㅋ It really made a huge impact from the start.

(But thinking about it now, it connected to the narrative of the preliminary performance ㄷㄷㄷ During the preliminary performance, they expressed the Ice Throne, but because of those bastards, they couldn't reach the throne. So this time, the slaves seemed to express breaking that throne themselvesㅠㅠㅠ This is my brain's theory, but everyone who went to the audience thought so too)

Anyway, there was some banner or something with the characters 大炎 (Great Flame) written on itㅋㅋㅋㅋ Big Flame!! If it's Chillin', they must know Chinese characters, right? It's an easy character^^

Anyway, when I was confused about why Big Flame was there, the Guardians' vocalist shouted DAMN!!!, and as soon as the song started, everyone was blown awayㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Damn, if you read it like slang, it's exactly Big Flameㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Seriously, can a Korean-American collaboration be this clever?

The stage concept was Big Flame itselfㅋㅋㅋ A blazing fireball burning until it's completely incinerated, and the outfits were amazing (they looked like firefighters and American prison jumpsuits, and the Scotch details were really appealingㅠㅠㅠ)

The Guardians' vocalist performed the song very wellㅠㅠㅠㅠ His voice was like a metallic scraping, which mixed well with Gunja's voice when he sang like a spear

And Gunja played the geomungo againㅠㅠㅠ But this time, he didn't play it delicately but stood like a rock band bassist and performed it coollyㅠㅠㅠㅠ It was really stylish, and the sound mixed so well, making it even better

The stage was set up with Chillin' blending in with the Guardians. It seemed like they were going to continue as a large band. But halfway through, the setup changed completely! It transitioned to focus on traditional Korean instruments, with Yuchan and Siwoo performing a dance. Then it moved to an electric pop style featuring Chillin's group dance. Personally, I found this part to be the highlight of the performance.

And then came the haka!! The krump!!!

It was truly... indescribable. You have to see it in person. The intensity of the fire was palpable! Hyuk and Taewoong's presence was explosive. I didn't know what a haka was, so I looked it up later, and it was truly amazing. But even that haka was overshadowed by how incredible the Guardians' Chillin' performance was.

So, there's no need to worry.

The performance was absolutely amazing. They're definitely going to rise in status!

I'm sorry, but I can't even remember the other teams' performances clearly.

Oh, and there was also an argument among the Chinese judges. They got into a dispute because they criticized the Chillin' performance, and that was hilarious.

All of this is fact, so check it out for yourself in episodes 2 and 3.]

The first spoilers led to a flood of information about the first round of performances.

The content was consistent. The Chillin' – Guardians collaboration was unprecedented and had an impact that overshadowed all other performances. The impact was so great that it even caused a rift among the Chinese judges.

Fans who had been anxiously waiting for spoilers felt a sense of relief, as if they had finally settled after hearing the spoilers from the audience.

"This is how it should be," they said. "The whole 'slave' thing was really absurd, but it's a relief that the Guardians worked well with them."

"I'm so impatient that I looked at spoilers, and now I'm even more curious about how epic it was," said another fan.

"Can't wait to see the Chinese and Japanese teams get their comeuppance," was another comment.

As anticipation grew with the spoilers, Chinese forums were flooded with fake spoilers.

They claimed that the stage was turned upside down by Teibo and QUAN.

That the Chillin' and Guardians performance was full of mistakes and chaos.

That even the judges booed the Chillin' – Guardians performance.

The ridiculous spoilers reached the ears of the 7IN members preparing for the second round of the competition. Of course, from their perspective, it was nothing more than laughable manipulation.

"I'm trying to understand, but it's so hard," one of them said.

"Why are they doing this?" another questioned.

"Yeah. It'll all come out in a few days anyway," was another reply.

"Maybe they just want a psychological victory until then..."

"Anyway, let's focus on preparing for the competition. We need to keep climbing up!"

As 7IN and all the other teams prepared for the second round, episode 2 of [Dynasty] finally aired.

And viewers could clearly see which spoilers were true.
