[Showbiz] I'm a Chair-Puller, Not a Door-Puller

Updates regularly on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Random bonus chapters on Mondays.

[The only center-loving idol of the fifth and sixth generations x the car-door god x a die-hard RIIZE group fan]

Yue Qihe had been a seasoned S.M. trainee for six years.

After never making it into any of the NCT units, and with his debut always just around the corner, Yue Qihe finally came to his senses. Maybe he just wasn't suited to NCT! Maybe NCT was bad luck for him!

Yue Qihe: Waiting for a new project.

Then Teacher Lee left.

Then the company fell into crisis.

And a new project arrived just then.

At last, he got to debut alongside his older brothers. Standing onstage and loudly declaring that he was RIIZE, with tears about to fall, Yue Qihe turned to see 'SUNZ' revealed on the screen. The veteran fan's heart shattered on the spot.

When it came down to it, maybe S.M. was bad luck for him.

When his teammates loudly called out "sunz," Yue Qihe almost passed out.

He'd go back and write a hundred emails to get that awful name changed!

-

After debuting, life didn't seem to change much. Yue Qihe still practiced, slept, and hung out with his older brothers as usual.

But before he knew it, more and more people had gathered around him. Suddenly, word spread that he was the fifth- and sixth-generation idols' president, and he became a networking powerhouse.

Park Wonbin took his younger brother's phone and scrolled through the contact list several times without reaching the end. He started to wonder, "Do you have some kind of special constitution?"

How come a crowd always gathered around him whenever he went out?

"I honestly have no idea..."

Heaven, please!

Tell us who's loyal and who's a traitor!

[Important: Read before you start]

1. This is a feel-good power fantasy, and all major events will be included. The story centers on the good idols, and the bad idol (a certain someone) will get thoroughly taken to task. I love group camaraderie and sincere, family-like bonds, so there will be plenty of scenes of the idols spending all day together! I'm an all-around fan of fifth- and sixth-generation idols, and won't smear or attack any hardworking kids, except those with confirmed scandals. Anyone whose career has already crashed is completely condemned.

2. There may be some out-of-character moments. I understand if that's not your thing, and you don't need to tell me if it isn't to your taste. The author likes writing emotional stories, so feelings are explored in detail. This may take up a lot of space early on, with repeated mentions of everyone's impressions of Luke, their past, and the details of their relationships. The pace will pick up in the middle and later parts.

3. The timeline begins with the formation of NCT's original Japanese team. Some events may not fit the timeline exactly, so readers who are very strict about timelines should take note.

4. The male lead's stage name is Luke. He was born in 2004 and is Chinese. He's a pure little Cupid, with a wonderful personality, a quick mind, and a magnetic charm. He's a hardworking, flesh-and-blood person who just wants the fans to have someone like them by their side, too.

Premise: Everyone with a dream shines brightly.
