ria's music video was released week before nct dream's.

today is ria's first debut stage and is already nominated for the 1st place. of course she is nervous this is her first time performing as a official soloist, so she didn't want to mess this up.

sadly to her the members couldn't go as they have another schedule for the day or so she thought.

the pressure is on and alot more than ever as she will be 'competing' with cravity, april and solar. and this is the start of her solo career. because after all the promotions with nct, her solo debut and musical she'll do a concert tour in a few countries. performing her full album.

"ria? your on in interview." the staff knocked and told her. "sure sure." she said. and to her nervousness, she didn't notice that she bumped with someone.

"i'm very sor—" ria was cut off by the boy she bumped with, "ria?" the boy asked. ria lifted her head, "allen ma!!" ria shouted startling allen's members who are infront of her. "you debuted!? and didn't even bother to tell me?" ria ranted. "i'll tell you later, go on first! see you!"

allen pushed the girl as she pass by to his members, "annyeonghaseyo sunbaenim!" they all bow to her, "ah no need just call me ria or noona if you're younger than me. bye, see you later!" ria said and the members nodded, "goodluck noona!" hyeongjun and seongmin shouted as she walk.

allen is super close to ria to the point that when she heard he wasn't able to debut with her brother she was sad and cried. allen treat her like his own sister.

"we're now live in The Show to welcome our rawring soloist." the mc said gesturing a claw. "please welcome ria!" they shouted.

"annyeonghaseyo! i'm ria!" the girl cutely wave into the camera, "annyeonghaseyo ria-ssi! please explain your album and the title track." the mc said.

"my album is a full album consist of 12 songs, some about woman empowerment and some sad songs. i also included two english songs to this. and my title track is called 'LION' I received inspiration from live-action 'The Lion King' that was on theaters when I started writing. "A lion is a king, we are kings." so please stay tuned for my perfomance and support my album!"

ria cutely end her interview and went to the stage as it's her time to perform and went to position.

she's too into performing that she didn't notice her members in the side watching.

after her performance since the fans aren't allowed to watch in she was shocked to hear a screams and claps.

"oh you guys came!!" ria shouted as she forgot that she is still wearing her head mic. "oh? sorry." she ran to her members and hug them.

"thank you for supporting me here." she said, "yup but not in that outfit, go change right after the announcements okay?" jaehyun told the girl. "why? but i love this outfit. i designed it!" ria protested pouting as they are now on the way.

"okay okay stop fighting." taeyong stop them. and a knock on the door was heared and opened, "excuse me sunbaenims? can i talk to ria sunbae?" allen excused, "ops— i'll go out for a sec!" ria run to the door and to allen and hugged him.

"soooo, what's the name of the group huh?" ria teased, "cravity!" taeyoung shouted. "can i know your names?" ria asked the members politely completely ignoring allen.

"i'm serim, their leader. this is jungmo, woobin, wonjin, minhee, hyeongjun, taeyoung and our maknae seongmin." he introduces.

"i'm telling chan hyung you are ignoring me bang astrid chanria." allen said sternly that it caught his members off guard. "hehehe sorry hyung." she said and hugged the guy.

after talking with the guys she got close to them in an instant, "i like noona!" hyeongjun said while seongmin agrees, "can you be our noona forever?" the two asked with puppy eyes, "i'd be honored." ria giggles and ruffles their hairs.

after a little while ria is called again to go on stage since it is now the announcement of winners.

she stood infront with cravity as she is nominated for the first place. she is so nervous to the point that jungmo, who is beside her, patted her back. ria looked at him and smiled. that interaction was caught in the camera.

"lion! by ria!" the mc shouted as the confetti make a sound making her flinch and almost fell backwards, thankfully jungmo's hand supported her back.

"thank you mogu." she smiled and hugged him politely, "congratulations noona!!" the cravity's maknae line plus wonjin said. "thank youu!!" she said in the same energy. "congrats ria!" the hyung line said and patted her head.

"thank you czennie! you've worked hard for me already and this is just the start! thank you for supporting me czennie!! and thank you for my members for supporting and coming here as well. we've worked hard enough! i love you guys!" ria said as her speech.

it's now time for her encore stage, she is enjoying herself and her win when she heard her member singing her a congratulations song.

"thank you guys." she said fondly as she look at them holding a cake, "i think this is the most successful debut in nct!" mark said.

after that they all shared the stage as 22. the whole nct.

it definitely made the fandom crazy since it has been awhile since they saw them as a whole. and they saw winwin with the nct 127 again. they saw the three new chinese members interact with 127 and dreamies.

it is surely a chaos on the stage but ria is thankful because they joined her because she feel like she it will be lonely with them.

she's also thankful that she is part of this group, now a big family.
