Analysis and Exposure
15 Minutes later, Hwang Soyeon and Lee Joowon and a cameraman prepared for Xion's performance. Xion picked Blast from Bulletproof Gang's Entertainment's song titled "Danger" and started to perform. 3 minutes later he finished the performance.
Unknown to Xion, Lee Joowon only wanted him to comprehend the meaning and integrate it with the dance moves as he felt it was not about making a cover for the song, which later makes Lee Joowon laugh about it…
Hwang Soyeon and Lee Joowon then pointed back at the performance, bit by bit while explaining everything from stage work and camera work, since Xion is still new to camera, he didn't realize that the room has 5 camera position, one from the center, two from the front, one is at the top and one is at the bottom, and two is from the back, with the same bottom and top position.
They pointed the camera's awareness briefly to Xion and stage work to get the best angle of his body featured in the camera. Hwang Soyeon then commented on his dance and interpretation of it from her angle, she then pointed out excessive movement to depict some feelings or words or sentences from the song, every input really gave Xion good understanding about what he lacked in his performance.
Lee Joowon then pointed out his lack of acting in the camera, his facial expression, emotion and interpretation. Xion memorized everything and decided to further deepen his understanding of music interpretation.
Lee Joowon then tells Xion that he only has less than one month to master so many things before he can join the upcoming idol survival competition, he then tells Xion that if he can fixed his flaws in three weeks, then he will personally accompanied register Xion for the program, thus 3 weeks of intensive training for Xion started..
Meanwhile in the other rooms, Hyesoo was interrogated by Dreamcatcher girls about Xion.. She told them their stories about how she met Xion, How they became best friends, How on he saw Xion destroy himself in grief even though they are on vacation but hide it away easily.
How she protected Xion and How Xion sometimes felt so distant and out, his unspeakable hidden pain which she can't describe and how mysterious he can be like a flipping coin, one side hiding himself in the darkness of his eyes but glowed bright in the face of others..
all these things that makes her really want to protect Xion. The girls learned many things that day, that Xion despite her cheerful and handsome appearance, hid so much pain.
Siyeon then asked Hyesoo, did he ever have a girlfriend before? Hyesoo simply replied, as far as i know, the only girl that is deeply connected with him is me and i even think that i was his girlfriend on one point, but i am not. He just cares for me like a true best friend, and nothing more.
Later when Seonho came, Siyeon asked the same thing about Xion's girlfriend, which makes Seonho flinched in surprise and sweats but didn't say anything but countered her with a statement that the only girl close enough to Xion is Hyesoo and Xion's mysterious sister, and that's all.
Siyeon was suspicious but didn't continue to probe further, seeing that he started to sweat because of the questions. She then asked why he's sweating so much..
Seonho just said, he hasn't recovered from Xion's confession the other day, and as his manager, it did bring him so much trouble since he's not experienced enough to handle such matters which is why his mind is so much occupied.
Later on, when Siyeon or other girls are gone, Seonho wipes away the sweat on his forehead and utters, "if it is as easy as other idols, i won't hesitate enough for his relationship. But not for now… he's just very vulnerable as i've seen him hitting rock bottom like no one else."
It was never easy for me too, to see him like that years… even if it breaks me inside… I will always protect him more from now on.

"Some people might have wondered, according to the Phoenix-Dragon life Pill effect, Xion should have some points or experience from Yiren about some things mentioned before since the knowledge can be shared, but since Xion himself hasn't learned about those things, how can the knowledge be shared?
The knowledge later can be factored after he learned it and incorporate it into his skillset. That's why Mirage can quickly help him improve greatly, when Yiren and Xion have the same knowledge then the experience can be shared passively through an All-rounder prodigy.
This is just the basics of exchange. For the record, the reason why Xion's body stuck at 8.9 is because he didn't want to appear bulky with muscles, he do have good amount of muscles which makes him very attractive, while if the system counted on Yiren it would be 9 because the female counterpart wasn't needed to be bulky to be attractive to most people.
It also affects Rap, as Yiren doesn't have knowledge of Rap, so Xion can't get the extra experience from Yiren to help him learn faster.
Stage Performing Artist is a passive talent that is a merging of Cadence Controller, Musical Scan, Audience awareness, Interpretation and Image training Acting. Xion learned about minimal make-over but was boosted because of Yiren's Experience.

Yesterday was the Final Performance Check for Xion, Everyone was astounded by Xion's performance which makes CEO Lee questioning life once again, the increase in experience and ability can be visibly compared, like before when a child imitates things to an actor's performance.
Everyone that came was discussing the performance for hours. CEO Lee even wanted to skip the initial plan for Xion's exposure and just straight up debuting him as a solo artist, but Xion rejected his proposal and told him that the next experience is what he needed the most since he is still lacking in many aspects.
Today, CEO Lee fulfilled his promise and took Xion to register as a participant in the Boys Republic Idol Survival Program. Registration has already commenced since early winter and will be closed soon.
Xion was in the last batch of contestants. No other candidate was present when he came since it's only 5 days before the entry audition, most contestants were preparing for their solo introduction performance and very few people applied for such a program on the last days.
Xion then filled in some details about him on a paper while CEO Lee was looking for the main producer of the program.
Lee Joowon was meeting the Boys Republic Idol Survival Main Producer to ask him a favor.
In a room, Lee Joowon and Kim Sangmin are shaking hands and hugging each other as it was so long since they met again and was reminded about the old days where they are struggling to put their marks in K-pop.
Surprisingly Lee Joowon is the teacher of Kim Sangmin before he create Rise and Shine Entertainment and bought the stocks of Made-K TV Channel where he usually produce Idol survival program.
Lee Joowon talks straight to the point, Sangmin-ssi i wanted to put my son in your program, but i will take him back before the final announcement, if he can survive till then.
Can you help me with this? Sangmin was surprised with the request, he then replied, Hyung, i can do that much for you hyung, but i can't guarantee if he will survive the public voting since we never tampered with the voting count, but i am really curious why you will take him back before the final if he has the ability to be in the Final Line-up?
"i want him to have more experience through this program as i can see that your method is really good through the years in producing idols, the reason why i will take him back is because i have prepared for his debut.
But as you know my company is just a small company with only one group, it took me years to produce one myself, my fortune is not like you sangmin, you have surpassed me far and wide, and i just scrapping for crumbs in this sea called K-pop.
Life is just like this, it's either you move up, stop at the same spot for years or just crumbling down in an instant.. Don't you agree about it, sangmin?
