There are never a few people who want to "launch their dreams straight into the distant outer space", and the idol power that enters our sight often goes through rounds of harsh trials without being curious about the screaming and shouting around the "selected" Where did they come from? What you need to be curious about is what kind of test they have gone through in your line of sight, such as the unstoppable boy group WayV. At the beginning of this year, there became a hot issue after debuting, but the reason behind their success is explained by the members' sentence "you can only work harder." When you are still "waiting for your dream to accelerate the launch to get closer to success", they are no longer in place to continue waiting, but "never make excuses to buffer."

Wherever the idol boy group goes, they are always accompanied by dense shots, flashing lights, and screams from the hearts of young people. The preciousness of youth lies in the limitation, and the preciousness of dreams lies in the process of running. In the current idol ecological environment, the old and new are changing rapidly, and the competition is fiercer. Breaking through the cruel survival rules of the men’s team, WayV officially debuted in China in January this year. Member LUCAS (Huang Xuxi) became the new resident guest of *Keep Running 奔跑吧*, and WINWIN (Dong Sicheng) participated in a variety show from Hunan Satellite TV. The variety show, "Happy Camp", which was recorded by seven people, was also broadcast not long ago... This new trend of the boy group has just started their "dream launch plan."

Seven people come from different cities, with a common dream of the stage, they chose to leave their hometowns and go overseas as trainees. They must develop their skills before they can embark on the flower road.

Member TEN (Li Yongqin) is of Chinese descent, 23 years old this year, and his training period is the longest in the team. In siz years, in addition to learning to sing and dance, he also has to learn Chinese at the same time. TEN said that even if it was not a training day, he would go to the practice room to dance alone. In TEN's view, dancing can make him feel safe, and it is also a way to calm down and release stress. Now his Chinese level can accurately explain the difference between malatang and hot pot.

The team leader KUN (Qian Kun) from Fujian has been a backbone of literature and art since he was a child, and is a typical "child of someone else's family." But he has never regretted that he chose to train overseas by himself. For a bigger and better stage, his three years of hard work are worthwhile. Although there are times when the group is tired, there are always many interesting things that come from hanging out with the members. For him, the biggest charm of the stage is that he can show the results of his usual practice. The moment on the stage makes him feel the most fulfilled.

When XIAOJUN (Xiao Jun) was recruited into the company, he was already determined to prepare for debut, so he had to quickly catch up with the progress of his teammates. "When I went to the company and felt the gap, I could only work harder." But now recalling this experience, XIAOJUN feels that when he sees his progress and can confidently stand on the stage, he will endure any kind of hardship.

Perhaps the charm of the idol boy group is that everyone does their best to get the opportunity to stand on the stage. And that moment on the stage is reflected not only by the success of the seven teenagers, but also by the beautiful sustenance of the fans in the audience. As member WINWIN said, "I want to thank myself most for that hard work."

LUCAS dreamed of becoming a firefighter since he was young. Because of his outstanding height and appearance, he originally wanted to make his debut as a model, but eventually made his debut as a singer with excellent singing and dancing skills. Usually, this big boy from Hong Kong uses his humor to adjust the atmosphere and make everyone laugh. But when it comes to the meaning of "idol", he immediately switches to a serious mode, "make everyone proud of us, and through some positive things they do, to influence people who like us, I think this can be called an idol."

HENDERY (Huang Guanheng) is fortunate; he was discovered by talent scouts on the road. He had the mentality to give it a try, but he did not expect to stimulate his interest in music during the training period. Unlike other members who already had some professional foundation, HENDERY started from a blank sheet of paper. He is very grateful for the help of the members. "It is no exaggeration to say that without members, there may be no me who is now debuting."

In the view of the youngest member YANGYANG (Liu Yangyang), the seven people usually get along like family members, and they have established enough tacit understanding. Whether it is work or life, everyone will take care of each other. "Usually if there is something I want to eat, KUN will make it for us, and it is very delicious." "Once, I dropped the microphone on the stage, LUCAS picked it up for me and gave it to me quickly, so I avoided it. It affected the stage at that time."

The studio was filled with laughter that day, and as long as the seven of them were together, there would be endless words to say. WINWIN said that sometimes the seven of them would form a circle and talk to each other to ease the pressure on each other. Before performing on stage, they will encourage each other to relieve tension. In his view, the most important thing for the boy group is to understand and tolerate each other. Unity is the driving force that can support everyone to go on together. "Just like a chopstick is easily broken, but a chopstick is stronger."

Through the interviews, what I feel most deeply is the desire of these seven people for the stage. They look forward to showing themselves to more people and allowing more people to hear their music. Whether singing or dancing, everyone has their own unique charm, because they want to be seen, so cherish every opportunity.

They believe that hard work will not be wasted, and the time spent in the practice room is their own confidence. The days when the seven people fight side by side will also not be let down. Thank you for being involved in my youth. The flower road ahead is very crowded, and getting the ticket at the same time means that it has to go through more tempering. No one is young forever, but someone is always young, and WayV is writing their own promising achievements.
