"So, M41, a lot of people are debating for what your group name is supposed to mean? There are a lot of M41 in the world. I know there's a tank named M41?" The MC said. The members were shocked but they laughed by it.
"Really?" Hyun-Jung said to the MC.
"Yeah. There are other people said its a gun as well." The MC added as he laughed.
"So, what does M41 mean?" The MC said as he looked for someone who'll explain it.
"Ah... We have 2 meanings for M41. First meaning is M for Male, 4 is us, 4 members and 1 is 1 dream. Other meaning for M41 is Messier 41 which is a open cluster. Space stuff. Like that." Ji-Hun said as he explained it to the MC.
"Ohh.. I like the Male 4 Members, 1 Dream? That's cool. Who came up with that?" The MC asked.
"Oh we don't came up with our group name. We actually received a business card from our company. It has the location of the company and date when we will come. Then once we're there, he was like "You are now a group. M41" And we are totally shocked by it." Minsu explained.
"Yeah! We thought there's like a free house and lot or something. Turns out we're an idol in an instant." Iseul added. The MC and M41 laughed at it.
"That's hilarious and actually a unique history of your group. Moving on, Before you being a member of M41. What do you do? I know Ji-Hun is an Influencer before M41." MC asked. Ji-Hun was shocked that the MC know him.
"Woah... How did you know?" Ji-Hun asked.
"You're quite known in Korea so no need to be shocked." The MC said as he chuckled.
"So, what are you before M41?" The MC said, going back to the topic.
"I'm actually a trainee at Star Records before M41." Hyun-Jung said.
"Oh, so you left the company after you knew you'll be part of this group?" the MC asked.
"Yeah. The company were okay with it so it was quite a relieved." Hyun-Jung explained. The MC listened before asking another member.
"How about the others?"
"I'm studying before M41. I'm homeschooled as well. But it doesn't change anything since there's COVID." Minsu explained.
"Ohh... Are you already college?" the MC asked.
"Yes. I'm studying Agricultural and Resource Economics. But I stopped. I was busy with M41." Minsu said as he smiled.
"Oh... Its really hard to multitask. Especially with being an idol and Studying. Who's next?" The MC said. Minsu agreed on the MC as well.
"I'm an ex trainee at an entertainment. I was actually almost a participant at Produce X 101 but I backed out due to personal reasons." Iseul explained.
"You were still quite lucky because someone gave you a business card and ended up turning you into an idol" The MC stated. Iseul agreed.
"Yeah. It was great that I still had the opportunity to be an Idol" Iseul said.
"And Ji-Hun? What are you before M41? For those people who didn't know." The MC said, looking at Ji-Hun.
"I'm an Influencer in instagra-"
"WOAHHHH~" The members said before the applaud and cheered. Ji-Hun laughed about it.
"Literally!! 30% of my comments were people saying that I need to be an Idol or I look like an idol." Ji-Hun said as he smiled.
"You made your fan's wishes come true." The MC said. Ji-Hun agreed.
"I remember Ji-Hun posted a photo of us in his Instagram account, and since we haven't debuted yet or we haven't tell everyone about M41, our Instagram account was dead. But once he tagged us in that post, our phones were aggressively notifying us about us getting new followers and likes." Hyun-Jung said while chuckling. The other members laughed as well.
"So, can someone tell me your debut album?" The MC said. M41 already knew its Iseul's time to speak.
"So, our Debut album is Good Vibes - Single with a title track Good Vibes. It is a tropical summer concept that is perfect for today's season!" Iseul explained. The other members and the MC applaud.
"Yes... Now, we will be playing Good Vibes by M41, their debut album. If you're feeling the heat during this summer season, I'm sure you'll like this song." The MC said. Then M41's debut song started playing. While their song is playing, the MC took the chance to chat with M41.
"So, M41, I'm glad you're a lot of fun to talk to." The MC expressed.
"Aww.. Thank you!" Minsu said to the MC. The members bowed to the MC as a thanks.
After the song ends, the MC spoke again to the mic.
"That was Good Vibes by M41, everyone. That was a great song!" The MC said as he looked at the members.
"Ahh.. Thank you so much!" Iseul said.
"I felt like the summer became suddenly happier after that." The MC added. M41 chuckled by it.
"So we have one last segment for today before we end our live session with M41. I want you to tell your thoughts about the other members." The MC said as he looked at the members.
"Ohh.. A heartwarming segment." Ji-Hun said. The other members chuckled.
"It truly is. So who wants to go first?" The MC said.
"I'll go first!" Iseul said, taking the lead to go first.
"My thoughts about Ji-Hun is he's very straight-forward and funny. I like how he keeps the mood of the group effortlessly." Iseul expressed.
"I'm touched. I think I'm gonna cry." Ji-hun said. The members laughed as well as the MC.
"For Minsu, I like how calm he is in every situation. But he keeps calling me Uncle so I take that back." Iseul said before cracking a laugh. The people inside the room laughed as well.
"And to Hyun-Jung, his voice really stood out the most. And I like how he likes to help me cleaning our dorm." Iseul said as he smiled at the members. After Iseul, Hyun-Jung took the chance to go next.
"So my thoughts about the members... First is Iseul. He is a great leader to us. He makes sure our dorm is clean, he makes sure if we're okay or are we feeling well. I like how caring he is to us." The male said to Iseul.
"For Minsu, he's very soft even his voice is soft. I like how he cope up and be friendly with everyone despite how shy he is in front of us. And for Ji-Hun, he's the most energetic yet annoying person I've ever met. But I still like that side of him." Hyun-Jung explained.
"I'm annoying?!?" Ji-Hun asked as he squinched his eyebrows. The MC and the other members laughed at Ji-Hun for his reaction. Minsu goes next after Hyun-Jung.
"My thoughts about Iseul is I think he's the best leader I've ever seen. There was that time where he saw me already exhausted during rehearsals, after we went to our dorm, he cooked some sweet potatoes for us and gave his half of his sweet potatoes for me. It was very sweet and I wanna thank him for that." Minsu said as he looked at Iseul who's having a watery eyes.
"For Hyun-Jung, I like how he was easy to approach. He also takes care of me as well. And for Ji-Hun..." The male stopped before looking at Ji-Hun.
"Uh... He's pretty fun to talked to. Even though he teases me a lot, on and off cam, he's still caring and he really set up the mood for the group just like Iseul said." Minsu said as he smiled. The room became quiet because of the segment. Last is Ji-Hun.
"I actually like all the members. My thoughts for them, for Iseul? He is the best leader. No cap. Whenever we had a problem, he's always the listener to every problems we ranted. I like how he prepare Sweet potatoes for us, and I love how he fix our beds everytime even though we have no time. For Hyun-Jung, since he said that I'm annoying so I'll say that he's annoying as well." Iseul said. For his thoughts about Hyun-Jung, the members cracked a laugh as well as the MC.
"But seriously, I like how friendly he is. He's quite talkative as well. For Minsu..."
"For Minsu, I like how cute he is on and off cam. He's also very fun to teased with but he's so friendly that everyone in the group likes him." Ji-Hun expressed. Minsu chuckled by it.
"Ahh. The friendship between this group is very cute. Even your leader, Iseul is having a watery eyes from all the compliments you gave to him" The MC said, the members chuckled
"Sorry!" Iseul said as he smiled.
"But unfortunately, its time to say goodbye." The MC said. The members were quite sad about it.
"Aww.. How about we extend more time?" Ji-Hun said. The people inside the room laughed.
"I wish we can... I had so much fun talking to all of you, M41." The MC said as he looked at each of the members.
"We had fun as well! Thank you for being a great MC for us!" Minsu said. The MC laughed while the other members agreed.
"Oh don't compliment me. I might cry." The MC said as he laughed. The Live ended well. They had a lot of fun and maybe some almost cried.

June 10, Friday /Before Next Schedule/KBS Building Yeouigongwon-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul
M41 we're already inside their van. As they were about to drove past the KBS Building, few fans were waiting for them. The driver stopped to give M41 a chance to greet their fans. Iseul and Minsu opened the window since they're close to it. Ji-Hun moved closer to Minsu as they waved at their fans. Hyun-Jung did the same to Iseul. Their fans moved closer to the van and some gave gifts to some of the members. Iseul received a letter from his fan. He thanked the fan as he smiled.
Ji-Hun received a perfume. One fan gave Minsu a letter. It has M41's name on it. Presumably its for the group. The van slowly moved because its time for them to go.
"Make sure to eat after this!" Iseul said to the fans.
"Thank you for the gifts!" Hyun-Jung said as well. The van moved before their manager closed the window.

June 10, Friday /Before Next Schedule/Van
"Someone gave me a perfume!" Ji-Hun said before he opened it and smelled it.
"I love this." He added. Iseul is reading the letter that a fan gave. While Minsu was looking at Ji-Hun.
"You wanna smell it?" Ji-Hun said as he reached the perfume to Minsu. The male nods before he received the perfume.
"Oh... This smells so nice!" Minsu said as he smell it once again. It has the sweet scent but still perfect for males.
"... I wish that M41 will get the recognition you all deserve. Thank you for being a great leader, Iseul! Love, XOXO" Iseul said, reading the letter a fan gave to him.
"Aww. That's sweet." Hyun-Jung said as he smiled.
"I love how fans gave us letters to motivate us in our journey. Even though we're still not famous like the other groups, they still manage to motivate us like this." Iseul said as he smiled.

June 10, Friday /Guest for Newly Opened Restaurant/ Restaurant
M41 were on the backstage, waiting to be called and the event to start. There were a lot of people in the event. There are maybe fans, and not fans. We can't tell. Suddenly, Iseul felt a water drop on his head. He looked up, seeing the sky quite dark than normal.
"Is it gonna rain?" Iseul said as he looked at the members. The members looked up as well before the events started.
"Thank you everyone for coming at our event! Our newly opened restaurant had cuisines we are sure you'll like!" The MC said as he talked to the audience. Their manager and the driver of their van went to them to cover them with umbrella. They already knew its gonna rain. A minute had past and it happened. The rain poured as they tried to squeeze in the umbrella to avoid being soaked.
"Oh shoot." Ji-Hun said as he watched the rain with Minsu who's close to him. The MC looked at the restaurant owner. And it seems like the owner wanted it to continue. Hyun-Jung looked at the owner and it seems to be familiar.
"Oh... Is the owner of this restaurant an actor?" He asked Iseul.
"Yeah. He's quite familiar. No wonder a lot of people attended this event." Iseul answered.
"Let's get this event going! We have our performer that is perfect for this season, even though it rains unexpectedly, are you ready to see our guest performer? M41!" The MC said. Some audience puts on their raincoat and some opened their umbrella to cover themselves. Some ran to a spot where there's a roof so they won't be soaked by the rain.
"M41, you have to perform while raining. You can do it." Their manager said as he smiled at the members. The members had no choice but to perform. They went to the stage quickly. They were soaked from the rain as soon as they got out of the umbrella.
They started to sing their song. Some audience cheered for M41. The group had to lipsync it as well since its raining. The members are soaked even Ji-Hun's chest are seen due to his shirt are completely soaked. Minsu tried his best to perform well as he was soaked too. Iseul was watching his members in case something bad happens to them while performing. It made him worried as hell. Hyun-Jung smiled at the audience while being soaked by the rain. He didn't bother at all.
M41 finished with their performance. They form a straight horizontal line before introducing themselves.
"Hello! We are M41!" The group said as they bowed. The MC went to the stage as he bowed at M41.
"M41 is here! Make sure to support them!" The MC said as he smiled. M41's Manager called Iseul, signaling them to go back. Iseul tapped Minsu's shoulder. It alarmed Minsu so he did the same to Hyun-Jung, and Ji-Hun knew they were going back. M41 went back to the backstage while they were soaked by the rain. Their driver went back to the backstage with 4 towels. They already knew this will happen. The members thanked their driver for the towel. They went to the restroom of the restaurant to change their clothes. Luckily, they had extras on their van.
