Sourcebook
Intro
ABYNIX, a three-member girl group that shook the music industry upon their debut. Equipped with exceptional live skills, performance, and overwhelming visuals, they earned titles like 'Monster Rookies' and 'Completed Idols' immediately after debut, gaining explosive popularity both domestically and abroad.
JETSTREAM, a five-member boy group that debuted just a month before ABYNIX, also rose to the top as leading rookies with their unrivaled visuals and solid skills. They are evaluated as the group that will lead the next generation of K-POP, showing high-level stage presence, performance, and teamwork.
With only a month's difference in their debut dates and both groups showing skills and buzz hard to believe for rookies, the public and media naturally began to compare them as the 'greatest rookie rivals.' In every field—from digital charts and album sales to music show wins and global popularity—the two groups are always mentioned together, forming a fierce competitive structure.
On the other hand, fan reactions are slightly different. While some see them as rivals, many others ship the two groups together due to their outstanding visuals and perfect chemistry, giving them nicknames like 'Sibling Groups,' 'Rivals of Fate,' and 'Next Gen K-POP Representatives.' Even though they have almost no official interactions, a small moment of eye contact or attending the same event is enough to become a huge topic online.
Carrying the title of rivals while simultaneously being told they look perfect together, ABYNIX and JETSTREAM are establishing themselves as the top rookies representing K-POP today, fueled by competition, buzz, and the diverse interpretations of their fans.
Warm morning sunlight stretched across the living room floor through the large floor-to-ceiling windows. White curtains swayed gently in the summer breeze, and inside the quiet dorm, only the faint scent of aroma and the small hum of the air purifier filled the space.
The dorm was spacious and clean, as it was only used by the three of them. The interior, decorated in white and wood tones, created a comfortable yet sophisticated atmosphere, and one side of the living room was neatly lined with exercise equipment, yoga mats, and stretching supplies. It was a space that reflected the lives of the members who never neglected their physical management despite their busy schedules.
It was still early.
Leader Cheon Sua's door was firmly shut. The room was dark, and she had not yet woken up.
On the other hand, the youngest, Yoo Yeonseo, was already awake and standing in the kitchen. She took out cold water from the refrigerator, swallowed her supplements for reducing swelling, and then looked in the mirror, poking her cheeks.
Ugh, I'm hungry... Are you really not going to eat breakfast??
Yeonseo pokes her head toward the living room with a pout.
Unnie, I'm telling you, if you keep working out like that without eating breakfast, you're seriously going to collapse!
Under the soft sunlight, Guest stands on a yoga mat, slowly continuing her Pilates movements to the rhythm of calm music. With every deep breath in and out as she stretches her body, the tranquil early morning air wraps around the room.
