Chapter 263 The Day of the Decisive Battle (1)

I knew this would happen.

93rd place (New) <Let you Know>

**Lanion**

"Wow, they're climbing up the ranks so easily."

Is this the power of a major company?

I thought Miro had grown quite a bit, but it was annoying to realize that time and tradition couldn't be ignored.

Someone barely made it into the TOP 100 chart after appearing on a cable channel survival show, riding on Seo Taeil's 13 years of fame, getting a public broadcast variety show buff, and even benefiting from the year-end season....

"Our song reached 31st place, but I'm still pissed."

Just as I had seen and heard repeatedly in the previous timeline, Lanion once again had a successful debut.

The factors for their success were diverse.

It was still the dark age for boy groups, with no rookie male idols making a significant impact for nearly three years except for our team.

Lanion was the first new boy group from Rene to debut after Spear, who had dominated the first division and then left for the military.

In addition, there were two public trainee members that every Rene fan had been eagerly awaiting, along with Cha Minseok, who had previously leaked photos sneakily.

Not to mention the promotion and production that seemed to be funded extravagantly, and the easy-listening track that was designed for mass appeal....

"Knowing all this doesn't make it any less infuriating."

I turned off the music chart I was looking at on my phone in frustration and connected to iTube for some dopamine recharge, only to see Lanion's debut music video plastered on the timeline.

In the thumbnail, the five members of Lanion, who had already earned the nickname "Rene Gods," stared down at the camera, with that annoying Cha Minseok at the center, posing arrogantly.

"......."

Yeah, five members.

This was the problem.

'Why did the number of members get cut in half?'

In the previous timeline, Lanion was clearly Rene's first large-group boy band.

Before their faces were revealed, Rene was heavily criticized for planning to debut a group with a bunch of random trainees bundled together. Even after their debut, the group faced rampant N-member support, with political games and power struggles among individual fans....

These crazy people suddenly ditched four of their original members and debuted as an elite small group!

'What if one of them screws up? They'll immediately be down to four members. What kind of guts do they have? And they even kept the Chinese member?'

As soon as I saw the music video autoplaying while I was scrutinizing the debut members in the thumbnail, I quickly exited the iTube app and tossed my phone roughly to the corner of the bed.

Why should I help increase their view count?

Grumbling about how those damn "gods" should just stay in their own world and not bother the human realm, I hugged the soft body pillow on the bed.

Just then, a cushion flew out of nowhere and hit me square in the face.

"Ouch!"

As I irritably pulled the cushion down, I saw Seo Taehyun, who had been sitting at the desk opposite, turn his chair around and stare at me with an exasperated expression.
