[Korean Showbiz] We Royals Got Cast as the Villains

Question: Which company's idol group is the most "broke"? Answer: Every company has its own reasons, but if we're judging by the best treatment, then surely the most royal group is our K-pop supervillain quintet, whose fandom name is literally "Phoenix." They've held the title of Most Favored Group for years, ever since debut, and they deserve every bit of it. Still worried and heartbroken because your members get badly edited on variety shows or disappear entirely from TV dramas? Then hurry and join our Phoenix Dynasty family! You don't have to worry about any of that, because the most favored group is already here. Variety shows, TV dramas, and solo songs: our five royal members have it all. They develop in every direction, have resources in abundance, and their royal treatment makes them stand out. As long as you can weather the storms of public opinion, the Phoenix Dynasty is the one and only choice for you. Phoenix is a miraculous five-member group that debuted in Korea with only one Korean member. What's more, they're a co-ed group. From debut, they've carried the title of CJ's Crown Prince, and the resources have kept coming wave after wave, making other groups green with envy. They always seemed out of place because they had it so good, holding the villain's script in their hands. So how did they actually become top-tier stars, step by step?!!! Note: This idea came from how, in recent years, even normal interactions between male and female idols seem to require the same precautions as dealing with a potential predator. So I came up with this story. There really are Korean groups whose members all have green cards, as well as co-ed groups. They're talented, but obscure, which is a shame, so I wanted to try writing about one. Original group, not based on real people. No romance in the main story. Extra romance may randomly appear in forum posts. The focus is on careers. Sometimes the story will stay under review for a while. Either I'm fixing typos or revising parts I don't think are written well. It's mostly written in forum-post format. If that's not your thing, don't read. Content warnings: The forum posts are completely unrestrained, unhinged, and darkly obsessive, and not very kind to certain groups. The characters are just here for fun, and the story will draw on real life. Please leave if you can't accept that!!! Theme: Can't stand me? Too bad, I'm just too popular
