"Make sure to be ready. We will start the live anytime now." The staff said while assisting the members to sit on the chair. The members saw their physical albums on the table.
"Our album? Physical Album!?" Minsu said, almost touching it but Iseul grabbed his hand because the staff told them to not touch it yet.
"Oh wow. This is so beautiful..." Ji-Hun said, happy to see their physical album for the first time.
"I wonder what's inside? There must be a lot of pictures of us in there." Hyun-Jung said as he was very excited to unbox their album already.
"Get ready M41. We'll be going live in a few seconds." The staff said before counting 3 onto his hand and the live started after 1.

The members waved at the camera as soon as it goes live. The chat was flooded by the viewers who are waiting for the M41 to go live as the viewer count starts to go up.
"Hey, guys! What's up?" Hyun-Jung said.
"There are a lot of viewers today. We didn't expect this." Iseul said while chuckling as he looked at the tablet who's showing the live chat and the viewer count.
"So, we are here, live, because we are going to unbox our own new physical album. Uhhh... Because we just had our first comeback, First EP 'Our Universe' and this is also our first physical album." Ji-Hun explained casually.
"We are so excited to see this. We really haven't got a glance of it since we first started preparing for this album." Hyun-Jung commented.
"In short, we really had no idea we'll have our first physical album since our first album that we released is only a digital single," Ji-Hun said as he chuckled before he looked at the live chat with Iseul.

"We're still thinking of our fandom name," Iseul said after he saw that one comment.
"I know you guys wanted the fandom name already but it's so hard to choose!" Minsu said while looking at the camera, pretending to be frustrated.
"Anyways, shall we start unboxing our album? I really looking forward to this!" Hyun-Jung said, looking at the camera before he looked at the staff on the back of the camera. He grabbed the album and even the other members once the staff gave them the sign to start unboxing the album.
"Just look at the design! It has like galaxy and universe and stuff!" Minsu said, excitedly unwrapping the plastic wrapped on the physical album for extra protection.
"I wonder how we look inside," Ji-Hun said as he was the first one to officially open the album, seeing their group photo on the first page. "Oh shit! We look super dopeee~" He added as he proudly showed it to the camera. The staff moved the camera close to the one the Ji-Hun wanted to show to the audience.
"This is so great! The quality is so good." Iseul said, looking at every single page, one by one, appreciating the photos as he stumbled across 2 photocards of him.
"Hey! This is me!" Iseul said before he picked up the photocard and showed it to the camera.
"I wanna see!" Hyun-Jung said before Iseul let Hyun-Jung see his photocard. "Where's mine?" He added before he started looking at the physical album for his photocard.
"Hey look! A chibi version of M41!" Minsu said as he looked at the stickers available in the album. The members were awed by how cute it was.
"So, this is the cd," Iseul said and showed it to the camera while the members are excitedly looking at the chibi versions of themselves.
"It looks very expensive if you can see how shiny it is," Hyun-Jung said at the back as he stumbled across the cd too.

"OUR GROUP WILL BE INTERVIEWED BY THAT IDOL?" Hyun-Jung shouted while the manager let the members look at who will interview the group.
"He's a very famous idol, right? I can't believe we're gonna meet him!" Minsu said and along with Hyun-Jung, they were both so excited about their schedule.
"Yes. But you all have to act natural, okay? Don't burst out there." Their manager said before he turn his body back.
"I can't wait to meet him!" Hyun-Jung said while looking at Iseul.
"Go with him then," Iseul said as he pretends to be jealous about it. Hyun-Jung just chuckled as he looked at the window.
September 30, Friday / Youtube Channel Guesting / ??? Studio
"It's good to see you, M41!" The MC, Which is a famous idol that Hyun-Jung and Minsu liked said, looking at the members. Hyun-Jung and Minsu can't take their eyes off the male as he was extremely attractive. The members greeted the male as the male invited them to sit down.
"You can start cooking as you like, M41. Anyways, Congratulations on your first comeback! How does it feel that you guys already passed your debut era?"
"We obviously can't get forget about our debut era since we are so into it and the memories we had there are truly memorable. But since we have to go for our first comeback already, it was pretty memorable as well." Iseul answered as soon as he started to cook some food for the members.
"There are a lot of changes when it comes to preparation. Like our debut preparations are very simple. This time, we can already see how expensive the sets were and how our company spent a lot of money just for our comeback." Hyun-Jung added.
"A lot of netizens saw a lot of changes when it comes to budget for your previews song to your latest. Does it feel weird?"
"Not really. We kinda felt a little bit out of the place, like we don't know what to do on the set, but it's fun if you think about it." Ji-Hun answered while helping the MC cook as well.
"If you be able to choose between your preparations for debut and your first comeback. What will you pick?"
"I think, I choose our 'Good Vibes' Preparations. The feeling about going to places just to film our Music Video and to take a photo for our concept photos was a fantastic experience." Minsu said, smiling all the way to his ears as he recall the experiences when preparing for their debut song.
"Oh, I remember that time when we were at the beach, we got out of the van and the wind started to almost blow us away. It felt like a vacation more than work." Hyun-Jung added, chuckling after his answer to the question.
"I feel the same way. We also tried to shoot my summer single on a beach and it really felt like a vacation more than just doing your work."
"Yeah! I can't wait to be summer again and film our summer comeback on a beach again." Iseul said before the members started cooking the food they want to eat.
"Let's actually talk about your first and latest comeback! Can you tell us more about it?" The MC said before Iseul knew it was his time to explain their comeback to the MC and to the camera as well.
"I heard it on a tv I think, yesterday? And the 'You and me, in our universe' Is the catchy and best part!"
"Hyun-Jung wrote that specific part!" Minsu said, pointing at Hyun-Jung who got shy easily after being pointed by Minsu, saying that a specific part was written by him.
"You wrote that one?"
"Yeah."
"It was genius!" The MC and Hyun-Jung exchanged conversations as the MC also complimented Hyun-Jung's work.
"To be honest, that song really suits your group since you guys started off with a fresh concept on your debut. But if you had the chance to pick a title track for your new album, what will you choose and why?"
"Our Universe is good, But I had to pick Love Story."
"Why?" The MC asked as Hyun-Jung picked the song he wanted to be the title track instead of 'Our Universe'
"Love Story had a different vibe and it kinda sounded like an American Pop which is what I like," Hyun-Jung answered.
"So you like American Pop? What song do you like as of the moment?"
"I like Angel Baby by Troy Sivan. The base and melody of the song are so good, not to mention the lyrics? It's so GOOD!!!~" Hyun-Jung said, pretty excited for him to talk about the song. "I usually play that song in our van. Even the members knew I would play that song as soon as I connected our phone to our van." He added.
"Yeah. If he didn't play that first in the queue, it will be after or third." Ji-Hun said, proving that Hyun-Jung was actually playing that song on their van.
"Would you like to cover it here?"
"Yeah! Sure! I would love that!" Hyun-Jung said before the staff hand the mic to Hyun-Jung before the karaoke version of the song played in the background. Hyun-Jung started singing the song and the members were amazed at Hyun-Jung's English and singing skills while they were cooking at the back.
"That was amazing." The MC complimented as Hyun-Jung thanked the MC for the compliment.
"Moving on, not just your fans, but also a lot of k-netizen are very aware of your group not having a fandom name. They were very excited to hear it. Do you guys have any ideas for your fandom name?"
"Actually, in our group, it is the most overused topic even when we are doing live, we can always see people commenting about what our fandom name is and even to our first fansign," Ji-Hun said before he ate the food Minsu cooked for him.
"We kinda thought of something like 'Planet41' or 'PlanetM'" Iseul said.
"Those suggestions are cute!"
"Well, 'Planet41' Were already used to our own reality show, 'Run Around The Planet41' So we can't use that anymore," Iseul added.
"Oh, did you guys already talk about this in your management? Do they have any specific ideas or suggestions for your fandom name?"
"We haven't really talked about that matter yet. But we, as a group, talked about this almost every day and we still haven't thought of any fandom name aside from the ones Iseul said earlier." Minsu answered after swallowing the food he took a bite earlier.

"What is this all about? Is it another issue?" Ji-Hun said as he chuckled.
"Well, fortunately, it's not another issue, but after your first week of promotion, we have to prepare for your next song." The Assistant of the CEO said as all the members were shocked by the sudden announcement.
"Already? Isn't that too early? We just had our comeback!" Hyun-Jung said, still shocked about the announcement.

The assistant of the CEO gently explained the sudden announcement which made the members get cleared about this. They suddenly got excited about the new song after hearing the explanation the assistant of the CEO got for them.
