In March 2018 both Starship Entertainment and Yuehua Entertainment confirmed that Meiqi and Xuanyi would be participating in the Chinese spinoff of South Korean survival show Produce 101.[5] Due to their participation on the show, they withdrew from the remaining promotions for Cosmic Girls's fourth mini album Dream Your Dream. Both Meiqi and Xuanyi made it into the final line-up of girl group Rocket Girls on June 23, 2018.[6] She ranked first with over 185 million votes. However, due to the group's two year contracts with Tencent, it was rumored that Meiqi and Xuanyi would not be participating in any activities in South Korea with Cosmic Girls.[7] Starship Entertainment then stated otherwise, and confirmed that they would be promoting with both Cosmic Girls and Rocket Girls.[8][9]
