Hello everyone I come to you bearing my crack kpop au(cpop :?). More info under cut

The group starts as a stupid idea Cheng Xiaoshi pitches to the then trio. At first they wave it off as a possibility, but none of them have any plans past highschool so with enough prodding they give it a shot.

They meet Liu Xiao and Li Tianchen while undergoing training, and afterwards form their five person group.

Qiao Ling gives them concepts to work with and Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi tagteam writing the songs for the group. lg usually writes the lyrics while cxs writes the music, tho they can switch.

For the most part its a silly crack au where everyone gets to live and dick around, but their initial manager is Qian Jin before he gets replaced by Xiao Li so. Take that as angsty as you so desire. Personally I’m taking it to canon levels.

Oh! And as far as Xixi goes she’s still def a part of this. While not an official member she’s a great dancer and will occasionally join them for dance challenges or music videos. Otherwise she lived with Qiao ling :).
