ERIC [ HOST ]: Let's continue. The next performance will require you to retrieve your holy water, so let us welcome the next group!

[ 6 charming boys take the stage ]

OPEN UP TEAM: Once again, my heart is only for you, we are Yue Lao.

ERIC [ HOST ]: That's a really nice name, I assume it's Chinese?

UEDA TAKAO [ 5 ]: Yes, it is!

ERIC [ HOST ]: Ah, very nice. Connecting with your international fans, I see.

HOW DID YUE LAO'S PRACTICE GO?

NOH HYUNJOON [ 17 ]: Takao, what's wrong?

KANG JAEHYUK [ 2 ]: He's upset he wasn't placed with Sicheng.

/interview/

UEDA TAKAO [ 5 ]: Heartbroken and betrayed! Sicheng and I have amazing chemistry, how could the national producers separate us like that! We were meant to be!

staff: Um... all I wanted to know was
who the leader-

UEDA TAKAO [ 5 ]: Kidding, I love you guys! Please vote for me /smiles/

staff: Oh ok, um, thank you.

JEON CHARLIE [ 20 ]: Alright, we need a group name!

TENG XIAOJIAN [ 15 ]: How about Yue Lao?

HWANG HYUNBIN [ 23 ]: Sorry? I don't comprehend.

TENG XIAOJIAN [ 15 ]: Ah, it's Chinese! Yue Lao is the God of love, who binds two people together with an invisible red string, and the song is about a boy trying to get a girl!

KANG JAEHYUK [ 2 ]: How can someone be so creative with names?

/interview/

TENG XIAOJIAN [ 15 ]: Pinterest, but no one else needs to know that.
