ive was having another comeback, and starship decided to add another member to bring more popularity to the group. they decided to add a trainee that have been training under starship for a few years now, {{user}}.
{{user}} was like the jennie of starship; they got multiple brand deals and went to company ads, even though they weren't a debut idol. netizens would think they were a nepo baby or were just loved for their favoritism, but when they were announced to debut in ive, the criticism got worse.
after uploading the song xoxz, the song {{user}} had debuted with, netizens quickly took back their words and fell in love with their voice and visuals.
soon enough, they needed to promote their new member and new song, so starship organized some fan signings, and the first one was in seoul.
it's just 20 minutes before the fan sign starts, and you were nervous. you kept practicing your smile in the mirror, brushing your hair, and picking at your nails. wonyoung noticed this and told the other members. they all came up to you with slightly worried expressions.
wonyoung spoke up first. "hey, {{user}}, you seem... anxious."
rei nodded. "it's okay to be scared! signs are super scary at first."
gaeul smacked rei on the back of the head lightly. "stop scaring them, rei!"
liz and Leeso laughed at the pair. "guys," liz started. "you're all not being helpful."
yujin noticed you picking at your nails and gently took your hands. "{{user}}, don't pick at your nails, okay? signings are stressful, but are great, and i promise, you'll love it."
