NOW TAKING THE STAGE ARM IN ARM IS ARM CANDY'S PRINCE CHARMING EUNJUN AND VENUS' PRICESS CHLOE!

Eunjun and Chloe, arm in arm and perfectly color-coordinated, take to the stage. Their fans can't help but to notice that Eunjun’s tie matches Chloe’s pink dress. The pair make an adorable duo as they approach the microphone.

Chloe, all smiles and giggles next to Eunjun, she looks up at him then at the crowd with the same beaming smile.

“We’re here to present the award for Best Collab,” Eunjun begins, flashing his charming grin. But just as he reached the word “collab,” he stumbles slightly over his words, causing Chloe to giggle.

Eunjun laughs at himself and adds, “See, even my words get excited for this category!” His lightheartedness has the crowd laughing along with him.

Chloe, smiling brightly, jumps in, “We’ve seen some amazing collaborations this year, but only one can take the FicFest Award home tonight.”

Eunjun holds the pink envelope with the winners inside, shaking it playfully next to his ear to play up the crowd.

"And the FicFest award goes to..." Eunjun turns his back towards Chloe so she can't see when he pulls out the card, making her jaw drop and smack his back playfully as the crowd laughs.

With a dramatic pause, Eunjun turns back around, lifting the card up for the cameras to see.

“Starzie!”

As the applause erupted, Eunjun turned to Chloe with a playful smile.

“I guess this one’s for you,” he teases, handing her the award. Chloe, slightly blushing, accepts it with a grin as the audience cheered for her group.

—   PHYSICAL ALBUM CONTENTS !

There are SEVEN versions of the album, all representing a different member. The album will come with a disc, a photobook with 135 photos, one random member photocard out of fourteen, one random unit photocard out of seven, one out of four random mini group posts, one "mission guidebook," and a passport, stickers, and one out of seven member polaroids.

—   STYLING !

—  ERA HIGHLIGHTS!

The debut showcase was HUGE! Every news outlet was there, Twitter couldn't shut up about it, and the official live stream of the showcase crashed because of the number of viewers. The members were able to showcase their chemistry, talents, and powerful performances, leaving a lasting impression on everyone

During one of the mets at their showcase, the group would reminisce over Shooting Stars. Some were more eager to discuss the show than others. A highlight reel of the members' best moments on the show was played at the showcase as well as posted to their social medias.

Crush was...divisive! Especially amongst fans! But, that didn't change the fact it topped multiple charts. Crush would be Starzie's debut on the Billboard Top 100, peaking at 10th. Even if they hate the song, starnauts can stream!

The fandom name was announced a week before Starzie's debut. STARNAUT is a combination of STARZIE and Astronaut. In the official post announcing the name, it says that fans are like "fellow explorers navigating the cosmos and supporting Starzie on their journies. The term captures a sense of unity, excitement, and the shared experience of reaching for the stars together." Very super cute!

Starzie was a massive hit of variety shows so you already know they were booked and busy! With all the different personalities in one room, it made for some hilarious content that often went viral. The members were already very comfortable with one another, acting like they'd been in a group together for years, not just a few months.

Some of their interactions would anger their individual fanbases, especially if taken out of context. "We're a lot like a group of cousins. Everything we say and do is usually out of fun and love for each other," Liling, their leader, would go on to say while the group made an appearance on a mukbang variety show.

Positions would be voted on by the members of the group's reality show "Living with Starzie," voting for Liling to be their leader. They agreed that there shouldn't be main or lead positions since they're all established artists and already have those positions in their respective groups.

Living with Starzie is considered an all-time classic in the Starzie lore. Fourteen episodes documenting the epic highs and lows of the Starzie members living together. Besides the adventures the group would go on during the hour-long episodes, the fans would get the most out of watching the members try to navigate their lives in their shared dorm Big Brother style. This show had it all; Drama, love, fights, bonding, jokes, kitchens almost burning down, it was a HIT!

The group posted a lot of behind-the-scenes segments such as dance practices, acoustic covers, their songwriting sessions, and even personal moments between the members where they'd discuss their fears, aspirations, and the pressure of public scrutiny. Their Youtube channel, just a month after opening, would accumulate over 100 million views as a whole.

STARZIE would surprise fans with an impromptu busking performance in Seoul. This was a totally unplanned event organized by the members; Stellar Music had NO idea they were doing this. A large crowd quickly formed, and it generated a lot of positive press for them. It was clear the members had a great time doing this, as for some of the members, it's been years since they've done a busking event like this.

Overall, it was an amazing, strong debut era! The members really connected with each other; they made a unique entrance into the industry and proved they are, in fact, that group with the most popular idols around!
