—  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!

✧˚ ༘ ⋆｡˚ WELCOME TO THE CIRCUS !

ALL OCS FEATURED ! ... @boycandie + @d3caynluv + @urmykrushhh + @blundie + @plasticflwrs + @chloekwon +_@killltheidol + @snspice + @f1-chicane + @pink-ttes + @ying-yang-qiao + @hshtag + @p-nkified !

Lunarix has released their star-studded promotional video for their second full album: CIRCUSIX!

Set the backtrack of the interesting instrumental of their title track, the video takes the viewer through the CIRUSIX. Dressed in an extravagant ringmaster's outfit, Evie stands in front of a red curtain sweeping her arm around as the curtain behind her opens, revealing a magical carnival scene.

The arc above the entrance reads "CIRUSIX" before the camera takes the audience around the carnival.

In a quiet and dimly lit corner, Yoomi, dressed in an intricate mystical fortune teller costume, sits at a mystical booth with an aura of enchantment. Her piercing gaze remains fixed on a sparkling crystal ball, which seems to hold the secrets of the universe.

Drew from Arm Candy, intrigued by the mysterious allure of the fortune teller's booth, steps forward. Yoomi beckons him to take a seat. She peers deeply into the crystal ball and begins to reveal his fortune in her crystal ball: "After chasing anything, thing, thing, don't get burnt out."

After the cryptic message appears, the pair look up from the crystal ball and at one another in confusion before Yoomi shakes her head, putting her hand out to get paid, face unamused. Drew seems to be knocked out of his confusion, groaning inaudibly as he leans back in his seat and digs in his pocket to pay the fortune teller.

With a sweeping transition, the audience is taken outside a house of mirrors the sign on the front reading "Should we have fun today?" before going inside. Oliver and Salem from Plastic Flowers navigated through a funhouse of distorted mirrors. Their rushing and confusion mimicked that of the soundtrack playing behind them.

Each reflection revealed a different aspect of their relationship, adding a surreal touch to the video. Oliver crashes into a mirror when running towards what he assumed was Salem, falling to the ground while Salem stands behind him, looking a bit annoyed by his comedic antics.

The camera returns outside to the high-striker game, where Elliot confidently takes a swing at the Hi Striker with a comically oversized mallet. The crowd cheers in response to his showmanship, even though he hasn't hit the bell at the top. The body of the Hi Striker reads, "Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, higher!"

Unexpectedly, Laila emerges from the excited crowd, strutting forward as if she owns the entire carnival. With a sly smirk and raised eyebrows, she takes the mallet from Elliot, who appears a bit taken aback.

With a mischievous glint in her eyes, Laila raises the mallet high above her head, drawing a drumroll from the enthusiastic crowd. She brings it down with a thunderous slam, hitting the bell with a resounding ding. Laila's beaming smile lights up the carnival, and the crowd goes wild with cheers and applause. Elliot, slightly surprised, can't help but smile down at Laila, shaking his head in amusement.

Honey Blonde from Bottle Blondes takes her position behind the ticket booth of the carnival's most heart-pounding rollercoaster. The line to experience this thrilling ride snakes around the block, with anticipation running high. Honey Blonde, wearing her signature playful smile, is ready to bring joy and excitement to every rider.

As the line advances, SNS' Yuki and Mika approach the ticket booth, their arms linked with excitement. They eagerly hand over their blue-colored tickets, which curiously read, "Don't be too too too surprised!" Honey Blonde takes their tickets with a grin, ripping them in her characteristic energetic style. She points the girls towards their seats with a wink, her excitement matching theirs.

With a dramatic flair, Honey Blonde presses a big green button on the control board in front of her. The rollercoaster roars to life, and with a sudden burst of speed, it launches Yuki and Mika on a wild and exhilarating journey. The rush of wind blows Honey Blonde's hair back, and for a moment, she's taken by surprise, blinking in astonishment at the sheer intensity of the ride.

Regaining her composure, she turns to greet the next rider with a mischievous smile.

The camera moves swiftly to the giant Ferris Wheel where Aeri from KRUSH and Selene from Totally Pink sit together, both eating from two perfect-looking rainbow snowcones. As the Ferris Wheel spins, the girls laugh, playfully feeding one another and pointing down at the carnival goers below them. As Selene leans over the edge of her seat, her snowcone drops on the head of Yoora from Hashtag. Reiko gasps, jumping away from her friend before covering her mouth in shock. Reiko begins to laugh at Yoora's misfortune, causing her groupmate to glare at her before starting to chase her through the crowd.

While dashing through the bustling carnival crowd, Reiko bumps into the elegant and impeccably dressed Chloe Kwon, who playfully stumbles a few steps before gracefully stepping onto a stage platform. The crowd erupts in cheers and applause as Chloe makes her entrance. With a dazzling smile, Chloe approaches a table adorned with various sharp objects. In a display of showmanship, she grabs a knife, and the crowd's excitement reaches a fever pitch. With flair, she twirls the knife in her hand.

In a panning shot, Jisu of Rejects stands proudly in front of a spinning target, channeling his inner bravery and anticipation. Chloe takes a deep breath as she prepares for her daring act. With expert precision, she hurls the knife towards the target, and it lands with a satisfying thud, landing right next to Jisu's head. Jisu playfully shuts his eyes tightly, creating a humorous moment in the act.

The audience bursts into laughter and applause. With her signature smile still intact, Chloe confidently struts over to Jisu, getting up close and personal. They lock eyes, sharing a moment of playful tension before Chloe smoothly removes the knife from the target. As the crowd roars with excitement, Chloe and Jisu exchange a playful nod of approval. Chloe takes a gracious bow, and the audience's cheers become a deafening crescendo, celebrating the thrilling and fun-filled carnival spectacle.

The audience is ushered into a vibrant circus tent adorned with colorful banners and twinkling lights. High above the crowd, Siyeon and Taerin, dressed as enchanting aerial ballet performers, soar gracefully through the air in vibrant, candy-colored silks. Their performance exudes energy and high-spirited fun, perfectly complementing the lively instrumental accompaniment.

As the girls execute their breathtaking routine, the crowd is captivated by their incredible agility and synchronized movements. Their silks flutter through the air, creating a mesmerizing dance of colors. The audience can't help but cheer and applaud.

In a playful twist, Siyeon and Taerin elegantly slide down their blue and pink silks, landing gracefully in a flurry of confetti and balloons that rain down on the dirt ground of the circus. They strike a dramatic pose, each in perfect unison, and the audience responds with laughter and applause.

The carnival's spotlight is now focused high above the crowd as Navi, dressed in a sparkling and vibrant blue trapeze artist's costume, prepares to dazzle the audience. The trapeze swings gently, waiting for her to take flight.

In the audience, Charmeine from Pinkettes, Qiao from Aespa, and Mirae from Chicane have taken their seats. They are just as excited as the rest of the crowd, eagerly anticipating Navi's performance.

With a burst of energy, Navi launches herself into the air, executing a mesmerizing series of somersaults and mid-air acrobatics. Her graceful and fearless movements are perfectly in sync with the carnival's lively and enchanting atmosphere.

As Navi swings high above the crowd, Charmeine, Qiao, and Mirae watch in awe, their eyes riveted on the breathtaking spectacle. The carnival-goers around them cheer and gasp in amazement.

Navi's trapeze act is a symphony of colors and movement, matching the vibrant and dynamic music playing behind her. She waves to the crowd once she's finished her performance, smiling adorably and excitedly. As she takes a bow, the curtain closes and we're taken back to the ring master Evie who smiles at the camera.

"Are you ready for this?" She asks with a wink before the video ends, the screen cutting to black.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered their oc to be in this! Yall made this ten times more fun than it should've been 🤍

And a big thank you to Kasey who has been a lifeline through this whole thing, I cant thank her enough! This was great and I hope to see more fic survival shows in the future!

In this electrifying realm where dreams converge, debuted idols of every gender brace themselves for an arduous battle, united by a single quest—to claim the title of "THE IDOL" and seize their place in the final 7 MEMBER SUPER GROUP!

The stage is set, the stakes are high, and the journey to stardom is about to ignite in an explosion of talent, determination, and untamed passion. Welcome to the arena where shooting stars are born, and destinies are forever rewritten.

Want to see if your favorite idol made the top five? Well, sit tight! Because here we go! 

The screen goes black, the electric green logo spins onto screen as a shooting star flies above it with a “ding!” when it lands on the end of logo. bove it with a “ding!” when it lands on the end of logo. With a swishing transition, we’re back to an empty arena where seats are arranged all with numbers on them. The center and most extravagant one sits in the middle with a big silver number one on it. 

Klara of Venus and Salem of Plastic Flowers, in matching outfits, stand before the final contestants of Shooting Stars, microphones in hand. Within the last few weeks, the contestants have been narrowed down to the top twenty places, leaving only the best of the best.

“Welcome back to Shooting Stars,” Klara beams at the audience. “Tonight, we found out which seven stars made it into the final lineup and will become known as STARZIE! I’m Klara of Venus and joined with me is…”

“Salem of Plastic Flowers!” Compared to her usual demeanor, Salem actually looks excited for once. Her smile is wide and she seems to be enjoying the spotlight next to Klara.  “Over the last few weeks, the voting for the final lineup has taken place over social media by dedicated fans and ended just a few hours ago.”

“It’s been a long and hard journey for the idols of Shooting Stars but we have finally made it to the end,” Klara tells the live audience as she glances towards the contestants on stage. She beams when she sees Chloe, turning her attention back to the camera.

“And now it all comes to an end,” Salem announces with a nod and professional smile, “with the creation of STARZIE the ultimate idol group! Are you guys ready?” Salem puts her mic out towards the crowd, hearing the audience roar in response. Salem and Klara both laugh at how crazy the crowd goes. “And what about the idols? Are you guys ready?” The remaining 21 contestants cheer loudly from the stage, desperate to know the results.

“Let’s get started then,” Klara states with a bright smile. “Beginning with sixth place…” She pauses to drum up excitement and suspense from everyone, looking around with a hum to tease the crowd before smiling towards the contestants. 

Mika can feel the sweat gathering on the surface of her hands as she waits to find out her fate. The last time she took part in a finale she was gripping onto Chloe’s hand like her life depended on it, but things had been weird between them recently, so now she had to hope the camera couldn’t pick up on how hard her nails were digging into her palms. 

“Mika of SNS!” 

Finally when she hears her name leave the host’s lips, the breath she didn’t know she was holding comes out of her in a rush. She quickly straightens up as the biggest smile makes it way onto her face, her eyes forming into their signature crescent shape. Jumping into the arms of the girls around her, Mika can’t help but squeal in excitement as she truly lets herself revel in the fact that she has finally made it to the end. 

Klara gives Mika a congratulatory hug, jumping excitedly for her friend before handing her the microphone for her speech.

Mika has the biggest smile on her face as she takes the mic into her hands, not any tears or nervousness seen on her. “I’m so excited!” She lets out a little yell into the mic before shortly giggling at herself. “This show has been so fun for me and I have been so grateful to be able to compete alongside so many amazing and talented idols! I can’t believe I have made it this far and now get the chance to debut once again!” 

The rest of the SNS members are in the audience during the finale and are all holding up custom made signs that range from sugar plum drawings to funny sayings about Mika. As soon as Mika steps out onto the stage she notices them and waves intensely at them, sending a plethora of air kisses and finger hearts to them. Piper and View jump up and down like crazed fans anytime Mika is in the spotlight.

“I want to thank everyone who voted for me not only during the finale but throughout every single round! I may not have been in the top for every round but that doesn’t matter because here I am now.” She sends a hand heart to the audience before once again laughing at herself, “I am just so grateful! Thank you all!”  

Mika is then guided to the top seven chairs, sitting down on the sixth place chair with a quiet squeal, covering her mouth in disbelief she made the final line up.

“Fifth palace and the second member of Starzie is…” Salem pauses, looking around with her eyes to build more excitement. 

“Doah!”

When Doah's name is called for the fifth rank, a look of surprise washes over her face, hands quickly covering her mouth in shock. When she drops her hand, a beaming smile plays on her lips, eyes brimming with happy tears as she stands from her seat.

Salem meets her halfway, giving the girl a congratulatory hug as she passes her the microphone.

"Thank you," is all she manages to get out at first, and a nervous giggle slips past her lips. She clears her throat, eyes glittering with tears as she smiles radiantly towards the audience. "I joined Shooting Stars to show a different side of me, and I'm so happy you all liked that side of me. Thank you." She quickly bows towards the camera when she finishes her speech, topping it off with one of her signature blown kisses, practically bouncing in place.

Doah takes a seat next to Mika, reaching over to shake the girl’s arm with an excited smile before clasping her hands together in her lap practically glowing.

“Fourth place and third member of Starzie,” Klara starts but doesn’t finish. She lowers the microphone, looking around as if she’s lost before turning to Salem and shrugging. The pair share a bit of unheard dialouge, Salem scratching her head dramatically. It’s all a bit to raise tensions and raise tensions it does, the crowd beginning to get noisy, yelling for the girls to announce the next member. Klara raises the microphone to her lips, a smile forming on her lips pointing up like a lightbuld has turned on and she remembers. 

“Poppy!”

Poppy freezes in her spot, staring blankly, trying to understand what had just happened. She made the final lineup? Being pulled into a hug, she was pulled out of her trance. Turning around, she turned to the other contestants surrounding her, congratulating on being a part of the team. Poppy slowly walks towards the stage, still in disbelief. All of the hard work she’s done has finally paid off. Truth be told, she truly didn’t think she’d make the final lineup. Seeing the interim rankings, this was the least expected of everything. She would’ve thought her ranking would go down as the show went on as everyone else was showing their true talents.

Klara gives Poppy a small bow before giving her a hug, telling her congratulations as she passes the girl the microphone for her speech.

“First off, I want to thank everyone who supported me throughout the entire show. I honestly didn’t know the outcome would’ve been but I’m so thankful to everyone. It’s been about three years since the disbandment of GFriend and I’m still proud of the girls and how far we’ve come after our many hardships.” The camera cuts to the audience where the members of GFriend came to support her along with Seventeen’s Seungkwan and former idols, The Ark’s Suji and Imfact’s Ungjae. Yerin has tears in her eyes because of how proud she is of Poppy, covering her mouth with one hand while the other members smile brightly for their friend. 

“Shooting Stars would’ve been my last chance of being on stage and I was glad that I was able to be on the show. All of my fellow teammates, other idols I’ve seen but haven’t been able to work with, the hosts, everyone was so amazing and I had a great time being on the show. I’ll show you an even better side of me as a member of Starzie and I hope you continue to love and support me. Thank you so much!” Poppy bows politely before handing the microphone back to Klara, being ushered to where the other winners sit. She smiles brightly at the girls, opening her arms for them. Mika and Doah stand, rushing to hug Poppy, jumping excitedly at the fact they’re in a group together,

When the girls pull away, Poppy rushes to her seat and sits down, giving the crowd a heart with both her hands, beaming.

“Third place and fourth member of STARZIE…” Salem pauses, blowing air through her nose with a quirk of her lips to the side. Salem pulls her phone out, ushering Klara to come closer so they can take a selfie. The girls do various of poses from peace signs, finger hearts, and beaming smiles. Klara puckers her red stained lips to kiss Salem’s cheek playfully. This seems to soothe the anxious crowd, cheering for the two girls as they pull apart, laughing at their antics at the expense of the crowd and contestants.

“The fourth member of STARZIE is…Liling!”

It takes Liling a couple of seconds to process that it was indeed her name that was called out. She looks around slowly, eyes widened and her mouth slightly parted, pointing to herself as if there was anyone else present with the same name as her. When she assures herself, her face suddenly breaks out into a large smile as she shakes her head in disbelief, with small but noticeable tears welling up in her eyes. Desperately attempting to distract herself, Liling wipes her eyes with her thumbs and laughs whilst other contestants pull her into a hug or excitedly congratulate her.

Liling takes a quick breath in and glances around before beginning to speak through tears. “Firstly, I’m not even sure what I should say, I didn’t really prepare at all, I’m just really excited. I honestly didn’t expect this, so I’m really grateful for those who voted for me and have been by my side since the start,” She voices, bowing whilst tightly holding onto the mic. “I’m really happy with my rank, thank you so much!” Liling exclaims, gesturing to the audience as she speaks, “Thank you to my family members for also supporting me, it means the world to me. To everyone who competed on this show, thank you for being my inspiration and never giving me a tough time—“ She stops herself, noticing that her voice had changed slightly in pitch. Liling briefly glances at the contestants opposite to her and smiles.  “I’m also grateful for those who’ve put up with being on a team with me, I’m not the best at leading or groups in general but thank you for always making me feel comfortable!” She adds, waving at the audience as well as the idols she had just mentioned 

“I’d also like to thank Cody, for comforting me when I was worried or felt like I couldn’t do the things I wanted to do, I’m happy we’ve gotten closer, Thank you!” She pauses slightly, flipping her necklace around repeatedly due to her nerves. “I’ve said “thank you” and “I’m grateful for” too many times already, but I truly mean it! Lastly, I wanted to say that I’m proud of all of my now members who have made it into STARZIE and I’m also proud of those who tried their hardest throughout the show. I’ll now not only be Wang Liling of HASHTAG but also Wang Liling of STARZIE so please continue to love and support me, Thank you again!” Signaling the end of her speech, Liling bows once more and brushes her hair out of her face.

When Liling makes it to where the other members are, the girls rush towards her and hug her tightly. Liling ducks her head down, trying to hide her crying face as she presses her face into Doah’s shoulder. Poppy and Mika hug Liling tightly, the latter rubbing her back with tears in her own eyes as she tries to hold her own tears back.

“First place…” For the first time, the screen fills with a split screen. Oliver stands on one side while Chloe appears on the other. Chloe covers her mouth with big watery eyes when she sees herself, looking off to look at Finn then at Klara in shock. She gives Oliver a teary smile, taking his hand into her’s because of how nervous she is. Oliver nods with a small laugh, looking down as he squeezes her hand tightly. When he looks up his eyes are watery as well, making Chloe squeeze his arm to comfort him for the first time for the entire season.

Oliver has been Chloe’s biggest competition this entire season but now she can’t stop herself from wanting to comfort him and wanting some comfort from him. Either way, she’s won. Second place or first palace are the same thing to her now. It’s taken a lot for her to get to this point but she made it and she’s proud no matter where she ranks. Chloe shakes his arm gently to get his attention with a deep breath when Oliver looks at her.

“You did well,” Chloe tells him with a smile, “You did really well.” She let’s out a choked up laugh at all the emotions she’s feeling at the moment. Oliver smiles at her, laughing as well as he gives Chloe a hug that she recuperates instantly, squeezing him tightly. When they pull away, Oliver gives her a small bow of his head.

“You did well as well. You did great.” Chloe puts her hand over her heart at his words, hugging him one last time before moving beside him with a deep breath.

When their moment ends, Klara clears her throat, raising the microphone to her lips. She leaves a small lull before finally announcing: “First place and center of STARZIE is….Oliver Song!”

Oliver’s  hands are kept behind his back to avoid showing the camera how nervous he is. They haven’t stopped shaking since he entered the building to begin filming and in an attempt to keep him grounded in the moment, he pinches the extra skin on his wrist. His eyes are already wet from tears slipping throughout the entire filming, watching each member of the group be called and wondering if he even made it. 

Hearing his name be announced as first place, Oliver falls to the ground in a full bow towards the camera. It takes him a moment to recollect himself, believing that if he let go of the ground, it would all disappear. However, Oliver soon remembers he’s on camera and clumsy pulls himself together, wiping his eyes and fixing his blonde hair.  

“Thank you for this honor,” Oliver begins with a strained voice, wiping his eyes again and holding the microphone so tightly his knuckles turned white. He pulls out a small piece of paper from his pocket, laughing at himself as he does. “Though I’m not sure I completely deserve it. 

“I want to thank my beloved fans first. Without them, I would not be standing on this stage, ranking first for the third time. Whether you are a fan of Plastic Flowers or just discovering me through the show, I love all of you equally. Thank you for seeing the best of me even when I doubted myself and I cannot think of any ways to repay you enough. 

“Next, of course, is my family—mom, Ivy, and Harry—who believed in me all the way across the ocean. For the last eight years, I have been almost seven-thousand-miles away living my dream as an idol and they have never stopped believing in me. I would also like to thank my company, Superbloom Media, for giving me the opportunity to compete on such an amazing show. I know there was some worry with my dancing skills, but I hope I proved myself in the end. And, finally, to the other contestants of Shooting Stars: thank you for being such tough competition these last few months. I truly have never worked harder since debuting in 2018 and you all have reignited my passions of being an idol. I wish every single one of us success and happiness in the future, I’ll buy dinner in a few weeks!”

Chloe is smiling with tear stained cheeks when she’s handed a microphone, laughing into it when she finally gets a proper hold of it.

“I want to thank all our constellations for voting for me through out these weeks. I know I didn’t give my best at time but your neverending support kept me going and I’m so grateful for all of you. Every single one of you has such a special place in my heart. Genuinely, thank you so much. I love you all forever.” Chloe feels herself get choked up, putting a hand on her heart as she lets out a quiet sob, turning her head from the microphone to gather herself. “I, um, I also want to thank my fellow contestants for putting up with me and still liking me. This is such a kind group of people and I wish we could all be in a big group together because every one of you has been so fun to work with. Thank you so much.

“Finally, I want to thank my girls. My Venus sisters have been with me throughout this whole process and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without them.” The camera goes to the crowd where the other three Venus members sit, cheering and smiling proudly for their sister. Sena is crying for Chloe, laughing when she sees herself on screen, dabbing her eyes. Chloe laughs at the sight of Sena, pointing to the crowd then to Klara on stage, who puts her hand over her heart. “I love my girls so much! I don’t know what I’d do without them! I’ll love you all until my lungs give out.” Chloe takes a deep breath, bowing to the crowd.

“Let’s make STARZIE the time of our lives! Thank you so much for this opportunity!” Chloe bows once more, waving to the crowd cutely before handing Klara her microphone. The girls hug tightly, Klara pulling back to fix Chloe’s hair before letting her send off. 

Chloe and Oliver link arms, both of them laughing as they walk over to where the winner’s sat. The group immediately rushes up to embrace Chloe and Oliver. Chloe pushes her way to hug Doah, the pair sharing a tight hug during a moment they had been hoping for.

“Who will fill the final spot in STARZIE?” Salem asks as contestants faces are shown on screen, some looking more amused than other. When Qiao is shown, she smiles nervously, giving the camera a peace sign. Mingeun’s face fills the screen and he laughs softly, nodding with a small smile. When Zasha is shown on screen she tilts her head, giving a sad and knowing smile, holding Elliot’s hand as he lifts one hand to give a finger heart in the corner of the screen. Finn is on screen with a bright smile and watery eyes, giving a double thumbs up with a choked up laugh. When Riko is shown on screen, she forces herself to smile, raising her brows as if to tell them to get on with it.

“The final member of STARZIE is…” A long vomit inducing pause fills the arena before finally.

“Finn.”

Finn freezes, blinking in shock before looking around with his jar ajar. Mika almost falls over in excitement when Finn’s name gets called out as a final member. She lets out a yell before opening her arms up to give a rather aggressive squeezing hug, almost making an attempt to pick him up. Finn is still in too much shock to really reacts but he squeezes her tightly as he feels the other contestants pat him on the back.

“What the fuck,” Finn mouths when he makes eye contact with Elliot, the pair laughing as Finn scratches the back of his head, laughing softly as he takes the microphone from Salem. He gives her a bow before bowing to the crowd then to the other contestants. He blinks a few times, still in shock as he shakes his head.

“I can’t believe this is happening, like, I’m so stunned, wow!” Finn laughs, looking around again as if to check if this is real. “it’s been a long time sincere I’ve done something ike this and I really didn’t think it’d be as fun as it was but…I had such an amazing time with everyone on this stage. Thank you all so much for making this an amazing and easy experience. I’ve made so many friends and memories with you all and I can’t thank you all enough. Thank you so much.” Finn bows to his fellow contestants again before feeling his throat get tight.

“I want to thank my family for always supporting me. My mom, she’s in Florida right now, but she made shirts for our whole family with instructions on how to vote for me,” He laughs but there are tears in his eyes, “I love my family so much and I wouldn’t be here without them. I genuinely can never-” Finn looks away when he feels his emotions overcome him, turning away completely to wipe his eyes as his shoulders shake slightly with a sob. He collections himself quickly, breathing sharply through his teeth. “I’ll never be able to thank them for all their love and patience with me. Mama, Aubrie, Trin, Hannah, Athena, and papa I love you all so much. Thank you.” He blows a kiss to the camera then to the sky for his father.

“Finally, I’m wrapping it up I promise, thank you to my DeepDive members. I promise I won’t give y’all any less love just because I’m in Starzie. I love you guys so much. Thank you for always having my back,” He blows another kiss to the camera then turning towards where the winners are, pointing to them. “And I can’t wait to make history with y’all. This is such an honor. Thank you so much!” With that, Finn rushes over to his new group, immediately taking Oliver into a tight hug, patting his back as he embraces the other boy.

Their hug soon evolves into a group hug where all the members of STARZIE are hugging and embracing, smiling happily at one another.

“And that is a wrap on Shooting Stars! Congratulations to the members of STARZIE and the constatants that made it this far,” Salem says into her microphone as confetti blows, fluttering to the ground and landing on various contestants.

“Yes, thank you to everyone who voted and participated in this amazing show,” Klara smiles with a nod, giving Salem a glance before smiling brightly at the other girl who couldn’t stop herself from laughing.

“This has been Salem.”

“This has been Klara.”

“And this was Shooting Stars!”
