On December 9th, Monday, straight kids officially returned to the music scene with a new album.

As the final chapter of the cle series, "cle : levanter" contains a total of 8 songs including the title song "levanter", and the members also participated in writing and composing all lyrics.

The first stage after returning was at the Music Bank. The colorful and casual style of the song, and the warm and harmonious contrasting colors were eye-catching.

In fact, at the stage when the concept photos of the new album were just released, many fans were keenly aware of the difference between the group and the previous ones.

From the clothing and style of the concept photo, to the styling and setting of the music video, even the members’ camera expressions, and the mental outlook shown in the behind-the-scenes shooting, there is a completely new feeling.

After "Levanter" was officially launched on major platforms, its music performance was very average. This is a problem that the group has had for a long time. It is very popular overseas, but its domestic performance is terrible. It has been almost two years since its debut and it has not won a few first places. However, this time

During their comeback, Stray Kids achieved a music counterattack by relying on the singing stage.

From the time they first came back to late December, the group played a total of eight times, and each time, the members wore different looks.

Fans and passers-by are simply unbelievable. How come the dog company is so willing to spend money this time? How come Cody suddenly has an online aesthetic? Different styles and different elements are perfectly integrated together. Every scene is so handsome that it makes people weak.

Stray Kids’ open mic rate is well known to be high. During this period, the open mic rate on the singing stage was also above 90.

On December 21st, the members went on the singing competition stage of "Show Music Center". This was the last singing competition to be held during the return period of the new album. The group successfully won the first place. This was also the first time that "levanter" won during this period.

The second digit of .

It was such a hard-won achievement that fans burst into tears on the Internet.

Of course, even though they are crying with joy, they will not ignore all the efforts put in by the members during this period, nor will they forget how extra points those aesthetic online looks for singing can bring.

In fact, more and more people on the Internet have paid attention to the fairy makeup of Stray Kids in recent times, especially the last scene at the Music Center. When outsiders saw it, they would shout "cody with chicken legs".

For this song, Zheng Enlin adapted to the actual situation and used winter ice and snow elements. Not only did she create a winter and ice and snow atmosphere from the color, but the matching clothes also covered many outdoor sports brands.

Stray Kids has a total of eight members. Each one has different height, body shape and suitable style. On the premise of ensuring overall coordination, Zheng Enlin designed a different look for each member, wearing a white logo graffiti sweater.

Ski pants, simple and clean, V-neck sports blue t-shirt paired with laser nylon trousers, refreshing and energetic.

In addition, there are matching accessories and hats, such as the beige plush hat worn by Huang Xuanchen. After the style became popular, many people online searched for brands and asked about the price.

[Dafa... Is jyp’s cody so good?kkk.]

【Xuanchen’s hat is so cute and the overall style is very coordinated.】

[The zipper pants that Felix wore cost 1.2 million won. I was completely shocked when I first saw the price. kkk.]

[I only know one stylist with this kind of aesthetic online in the entire jyp.】

[Moah, is Zheng Enlin now in charge of stray kids?]

[Bye bye, ice should also find a better cody.]

While various speculations were being discussed on the Internet, Stray Kids, who was involved, was having a celebration banquet in a private barbecue restaurant in Myeongdong.

In the last eight song competitions, they finally won two first-place awards, which doesn’t sound like a good idea. However, the group has only won three first-place awards since their debut in 2018.

Yes, before the return of "Levanter", Stray Kids released six albums and only won the No. 1 spot once.

"Nuna, eat meat."

At this private gathering, the manager also invited Zheng Enlin to come over. She sat at the same table with other staff, and next to her were Huang Xuanchen and others who were sitting in a circle.

During the meal, members kept wrapping freshly grilled meat in vegetable leaves and bringing it to her. If the drink glass in Zheng Enlin's hand was empty, someone with quick eyes and hands would fill it up for her.

"It's the end of the year soon, so you have to continue to work hard."

The manager, who was already a little tipsy, took the initiative to toast Zheng Enlin with a glass of wine. When he looked up and saw the members who were arguing and fighting during the meal, his tone suddenly became emotional.

"The children are really energetic and work hard. I really hope to see them succeed sooner."

"Yes." Zheng Enlin poured herself a glass of soju from a clean glass. The wine glasses clinked against each other, making a crisp sound.

"let's work hard together."

It was almost midnight after the meal, and several members went to the bathroom together. The manager stood at the door smoking and waiting for them. After a while, Zheng Enlin came out with her bag.

"How will you go back later and your boyfriend will pick you up?"

Due to the special nature of the styling team, in order to avoid getting romantically involved with the artists every day, the company will prefer to recruit female cody who has a significant other or is already married, and the age cannot be too young either.

Koreans attach great importance to personal privacy. The agent did not deliberately inquire about Zheng Enlin's emotional status. However, the company's hidden rules are there. Zheng Enlin is also a very attractive person. The agent does not think that she will remain single to this day.

"No, I'll take a taxi back by myself." Without directly responding to the topic of her boyfriend, Zheng Enlin politely nodded goodbye to the other party, and then left the barbecue restaurant step by step in the night.

…

Not long after the group's singing session ended, the busy end of the year followed.

The year-end closing special is followed by the three major music festivals that are held once a year and are very important to idol groups.

Jung Eunlin had already decided on the members' red carpet and stage outfits at the music festival.

The singing competition starts in the evening, but because they need skin care, hair and styling, the eight straight kids were taken to the beauty salon in the nanny car early in the morning.

"Aren't we responsible for our appearance this time?"

"Mo? The agent brother said that he would follow us today."

Most entertainment companies in South Korea have dedicated styling teams responsible for their artists, but they often also cooperate with external beauty salon styling rooms.

It’s not that stray kids have never worked with an outsourcing team before, but in recent times, they have long been accustomed to Zheng Enlin’s existence and trust her decisions more.

It’s not that they are discriminating and looking down on these cody who are not from the company. If Park Jinrong now arranges Oh Min-jae, the chief stylist, to be in charge of them, the members will not be happy in their hearts.

Although we only got to know each other face to face for more than a month, from the first meeting, from the time Zheng Enlin took the initiative to ask their thoughts and patiently tolerated their various thoughts, something was already different.

They have never met a cody like Zheng Enlin before, and they are unlikely to meet a second one in the future.

From the moment she was willing to show up and respect them, everything changed.

——Zheng Enlin is different.

"Cut this part a little shorter, so that the roots of the hair can be seen."

After washing and blow-drying her hair, while the members were still worried about whether Zheng Enlin would make it through, she finally appeared with a pile of clothes in her arms.

"Nurna!"

The maknae Liang Jingyan called her name energetically, and Zheng Enlin smiled in response, and then continued her dedicated guidance work.

"Felix's hair is a little closer to his ears, and then the lower part is curled a little more."

"Huh?" Li Longfu, the client, was a little confused, "Should I grow my hair long?"

"To be precise, it's slightly longer." Zheng Enlin tapped his shoulder and walked naturally to the other member.

It was more than three hours after everyone had done their hair. Zheng Enlin asked the members to try on the suits they would wear on the red carpet and their performance clothes for the evening.

"That's wrong. This necklace of yours is for the captain." Zheng Enlin walked up to Huang Xuanchen, and the boy took the initiative to lower his head and bend over so that Zheng Enlin could take off the necklace from his neck.

"Dafa..." Li Minhao opened his eyes unconsciously, "Does Nu Na even remember a necklace so clearly?"

"You can't be a cody if you don't have a good memory." Zheng Enlin blinked her eyes a little playfully, showing a cute and coquettish personality that is rarely seen in daily life, a stunning contrast.

The young and fashionable female Cody wore a one-shoulder top today. Her beautiful and smooth shoulder and neck lines looked just right sexy. Her collarbone was slightly sunken, and her delicate white skin was dotted with a shimmering diamond.

necklace.

Because of the close distance, Huang Xuanchen could clearly smell the fragrance of flowers coming from the woman.

At eight or nine o'clock at night, Rose Castle is full of mystery.

——It suits her very well.

The moment this comment came to mind for no reason, the boy turned his head a little shyly, and the tips of his ears were stained with a large amount of ambiguous red.

After putting the wrong necklace on Fang Can, Zheng Enlin carefully looked at the members in stage clothes for a while and found no additional problems.

After everyone had put on their makeup and styled their hair, Jung Eunlin picked up the makeup tools that she had to carry with her, and took a nanny car with the members to the venue where the singing competition was being held.

At the year-end music festival, where handsome men and beauties gather, Zheng Enlin, as the stylist accompanying the stray kids, is naturally in the same waiting room with them.

When the members of Twice heard that Zheng Enlin was coming, they ran over to visit each other, and each one of them called Ernie super sweet.

Stray kids, as juniors, no longer dare to play as wildly as before, and sit quietly on the sofa, looking cute and pitiful.

After chatting with the beautiful girls for a while and taking photos, after they reluctantly left the waiting room, Zheng Enlin turned to look at the members of Stray Kids and found that they were sitting in a row with their hands folded like primary school students being scolded by their homeroom teacher.

On the sofa, I laughed out loud.

"Angry..." The maknae looked at her with a resentful expression. Zheng Enlin held back her laughter and made an OK gesture, opened her makeup case, and began to selectively touch up her makeup.

"Stop joking later, it will start soon."

"Inside."

Gayo Daejeon is different from other awards shows as it is mainly about performances.

Stray Kids performed relatively early in the sequence. When the members were preparing to go on stage backstage, Zheng Enlin was waiting with other cody in the team. Firstly, it was to change clothes and makeup in time, and secondly, it was convenient to deal with emergencies. After all, men

The group dances are very intense, and it is not impossible to lose your earrings, break your pants, or something like that.

Attending the KBS Music Festival this time, Stray Kids will perform a total of two songs, and Jung Eunlin also prepared two sets of performance costumes of different styles for them.

"Side Effects" and "Double Knot" are both songs with strong musicality and performance. The same strong melody, Zheng Enlin still uses different color elements and style elements when matching clothes.

Retro hip-hop and bright colors are casual, and the clothes and pants are also appropriately tailored according to the style of the song, like the one worn by Huang Xuanchen, a jacquard polo shirt paired with orange striped straight pants.
