   1. Completed. Highly recommended. Personally, I didn't encounter any major flaws. The youngest member, main dancer, visual, and all-around ace. Zhou Yijin, nicknamed Qiqi, is Chinese from a wealthy family and graduated from university at 16. He has a K-pop background, is an original male lead, is the group's darling, and has great teammates. He debuted without a talent show, ranking first among trainees, and has immense popularity. He didn't pursue a career in the Chinese entertainment industry; idols need the stage, and he reached the top in two years. I've watched it multiple times. 2. Not yet completed, currently has few flaws, four-member group, lots of forum posts, youngest member and visual, worth checking out.
