1. [ +915, -186 ] Ah seriously, I can always trust XLNC when it comes to music videos ㅠㅠㅠ They’re always so interesting to watch for the stories~ XLNC fighting!!  2. [ +512 , -102 ] As expected of KJH, the music is so good ㅠㅠㅠ The lyrics are so beautiful too ㅠㅠㅠ 3. [ +273 , -59 ] It’s pretty but... it’s so boring for summer.... 

[idolizenews]

Did you guys see the news this morning? I can’t believe it’s happening... finally the second generation groups are falling apart, I guess. POIZN finally hit big with Love Scenario and these two decided to sue?? No but really does that make any sense? 

POIZN has always been a lot of trouble we know that, so doesn’t it make you wonder what was happening behind the scenes? Why would they walk away after all this time... maybe they’re just sick of the company?? Or are they total crooks? It’s crazy I can’t imagine this. Really its so unexpected. 

99 always media plays about being a big giant family and this is the reality, there’s really no loyalty in the face of money or fame is there?? wowow. 

POST RESPONSE | [ + 779 ] [ - 23 ]

1. [ ㅇㅇ ] No but were they even important in the group, I don’t know their names even.... 2. [ 영원큐어 ] I can’t believe this is happening ㅠㅠㅠㅠ my boys ㅠㅠㅠ my group ㅠㅠ What a waste of their talents.... ah f*ck 99 is seriously the worst....  3. [ ㅇㅇ ] Honestly though, the others hard carried them so what will they do now? Good riddance ~ ㅋㅋ

JULY SCHEDULE.

Idolize schedules are a narrative opportunity to incorporate into your threads what's going on in the current musical and promotional landscape. They range over a number of things, from brand deals to charting information and reflect trends and changes over time in the narratives of each group. You can redeem up to 15 points, with 5 points redeemable per each 4/4 thread completed with another muse in your prompt. Prompts will incorporate variable numbers of groups under each heading and these groups will change with the prompts each month. In order to redeem the points, you must begin the thread within the month of the schedule's posting. Additionally, points for multiple threads may only be redeemed in the case that the threads are completed with different muns each time, rather than just different muses.

SUMMERTIME SADNESS involved > Aurora, Celeste, MayDay, Heaven

It’s time for the yearly summer battle of the girl groups. In competition are Aurora, MayDay, and surprisingly Celeste instead of Heaven. It’s a decision from 99 that has many fans scratching their heads, angered that the company decided to promote POIZN instead, along with a single Heaven member’s solo (some akgae fans have been up in arms declaring there is still more favoritism to be found under the roof of 99). Celeste has been the surprising dark horse, pulling ahead with the number of digital downloads and listens from the general public. This has expanded their schedules, and the girls have been invited to perform at a number of festivals and have even nabbed a few visual CFs for summer products, like swimwear and fruit drinks. Fans of Aurora have been critical of Midas promoting the girls so closely after MayDay, which MayDay fans are quick to point out probably wouldn’t be a problem if MayDay wasn’t outperforming Aurora, who seem to be on a slow decline. 

Regardless, the album still made good sales numbers with Aurora’s strong fandom power. DKDK, however, has really put MayDay front and center despite not being able to nab any wins. Of course, none of the groups really stood a chance with Atlas’ latest release. Unfortunately, none of these groups were able to get a win. It’s said that there have been rumors of animosity behind the scenes between both Aurora and MayDay, as Midas tends to back whoever makes more money which puts Aurora in a precarious position. Heaven are in flux at the moment, unsure of 99’s plans. For the time being, they have been giving large periods of rest and have been granted the opportunity to follow their own personal schedules, barring a summer concert promoted by Umbrella Tree Corp that involved Heaven, Celeste, and MayDay. Midas cited that Aurora was too busy filming a v-live reality show in Jeju to appear.

THE INFECTION SPREADS involved > POIZN, Imperial, Zenith

99 has never been a perfect company, but these days the fans are saying that these words still give them too much credit. The latest happenings with POIZN have been particularly chaotic. While they had a brief, soaring revival with Love Scenario, their follow ups were met with critical reception and disinterest from the general public. 99’s expectations had been set high, but with the boys floundering in their veteran years, it caused strife within the group. Two of the group’s members have decided to break contract and attempted to sue the company, much to their fandoms dismay. While the group didn’t have much of a false bond to shatter, it did leave fans worried over what would happen to the remaining members. A PR official from 99 has gone on record stating that all of the remaining POIZN members who decided to stay will be given solo music projects, and will remain under the moniker of POIZN, even if they may no longer promote together. The boys are, at the moment, dealing with public backslash, trying to appease their fans with constant v-vlives, and also going to meetings with management to plan their new future directions. 

Initially, Imperial fans were overjoyed, hoping that their group would be getting more attention. At first, it seems to be the case, with an Imperial comeback slated for August (perhaps to offset the news), as well as a few radio show appearances, but in a later statement it was revealed that investments were being transferred from POIZN to Zenith in hopes to give their boy group an edge among the competition between 99, Midas, and Koala T. on their similarly aged boy group competition. This has opened the doors for Zenith, who have landed a major brand deal with Adidas. It’s rumored that behind the scenes, Imperial members are holding major grudges toward the Zenith members for this. To try and douse the fire, 99 has placed both Imperial and Zenith on a reality show together, where Imperial ‘teach’ their junior group the tricks of the trade. Surprising nobody except the genius in management who thought of it, it has only made their relationship even more strained.

* Note that this schedule will play out IC over a few months, and narrative pann posts can keep you apprised of progress so that the switch isn’t so drastic IC. 

MEDIAPLAY MADNESS involved > Atlas, Jawbreaker, XLNC

KJH, the underdogs. Fighting for victory, savoring their scraps. Or, that’s what people used to say. Now only their most delusional of fans still believe it. Perhaps because they’ve been letting this title slip from their grasp recently, they’ve been more aggressive in pushing their recent ventures that they’ve acquired: namely Jawbreaker and XLNC. How do they do it? Well, they use their selling power attached to Atlas. Their decision to use a Jawbreaker vocalist in Atlas’ recent title track angered a good number of their fans, who argued that her presence in the song was entirely unnecessary. While KJH achieved their goal of promoting Jawbreaker in the process, they are cropping up negative emotions, which fans and public alike pointing out that they’re shoehorning groups together and using too much media play in order to sell their outfit as “true artists.” Despite the critique, they’re still moving forward in the same direction, and have been packaging their groups together. Atlas and XLNC appeared together on an episode of Weekly Idol (perhaps due to the fact that XLNC wouldn’t be let on otherwise), while Atlas and Jawbreaker both modeled together for a recent line of clothing at Uniqlo. In the second half of July, they’re really tying their groups together with a KJH concert. Fans of XLNC are already in an uproar due to the rumored setlist, where XLNC will only be appearing at the start, and with only a handful of songs compared to the much longer setlist of both Atlas and Jawbreaker. 

VETERAN VISIONS involved > OASiS, Olympus

While they’ve been on the block for longer than most, these groups still have high selling power. While Olympus tends to pull a higher fandom, Oasis fights back with a better reputation and claims of musicality. There’s both excitement and trepidation over the fact that these two groups are aiming to have a comeback in August. Some are saying MSG is trying to guarantee a win by slating their comeback near the beginning of August, with Olympus coming later. However, Oasis fans and Olympus antis alike are pointing out that Olympus’ last song was poorly received, and critics were quick to put the song down. Olympus has a tall mountain to climb back up, especially when their comeback is directly on the heels of Oasis, whose songs often are able to receive good reviews from music critics. Both of the groups are knee deep in preparations, with big expectations and pressure from their respective companies. There are teaser photos to take, hair to be dyed, music videos to shoot, and choreography to learn. What’s more, both boys have both landed deals with road shops. Oasis with the Saem and Olympus with Innisfree, setting them up further as pseudo-rivals. How the boys interact behind the scenes is shrouded in speculation, though with the often-unsavory rumors that follow Olympus’ personalities, Oasis fans are quick to point fingers of wrongdoing. Olympus members have been advised to watch their attitudes and expressions by management. 

MARSUPIAL MAGIC involved > Koala T solo, B.rite, Divinity

This is the month of Koala T, or that’s what the marketing team keeps saying the KT management anyway. With Celeste already striking higher than expected in the girl group battle royale, they’re really pushing hard for the rest of their outfit in a way that doesn’t look as all in as it seems behind the scenes. Management has been disgruntled at the progress of their company, and while B.rite has been showing steadily rising selling power, they’re still too much in direct competition with boy groups from major companies (99 and Midas respectively) to really put their stamp on the industry. Thus, KT’s CEO is pushing for better company reputation and power, and to do this the rest of their artists need to start standing in the spotlight as well. This is a two step process of saturation and international outreach for their weaker acts. B.rite is slated with a later August comeback and are thus immersed in preparations. This comeback has been strategically placed between Oasis and Olympus, both groups who are all but guaranteed wins. B.rite will be able to get extra views by promoting on the music shows with both, as well as an excuse for no awards won. How the boys feel about this doesn’t really matter to the company. 

While Divinity just had a comeback, one member has been selected due to public appeal to go forth as the first solo on Divinity’s roster. They’ve gone with image over direct talent, and how this will play out remains to be seen. While this member is in prep, the rest of the girls have been instructed to film multiple v-lives, as well as dance or vocal covers of their sunbae groups or other popular artists to try and gain attention. KT’s soloist is rounding out the itinerary, a collaboration effort fielded with a 99 soloist in hopes that it will gain a larger following from the general public. They’re hoping for an explosive reception at the end of July, and the pressure is on this artist to really perform to their greatest capability (while in no way, shape, or form getting involved with 99’s soloist past musical decisions). There have been a few cosmetics companies reaching out to the soloist, KT ultimately accepting an advertisement from Banilla Co. on their behalf.

POSITIVE PATHWAYS involved > PRiSM, indiGO, MSG’s solo

MSG has had a well received year thus far with these members all wrapping their promotions to positive reception. indiGO has been trending as a household name, and has proved they have staying power on the charts, this paired with their recently found fandom after re.group means that they have been getting a lot more offers rolling in that previously. The boys have nabbed a few brand endorsement deals promoting various foods, beverages, and the popular bingsoo chain sulbing -- all for goods that appeal to the general public who are easy to recognize them. Prism have similarly been picking up praise and attention, though perhaps not quite to such a mainstream of a degree as indiGO. Still, the girls have been accepting more jobs with group photoshoot spreads for magazines, interviews on their recent success, and a recent brand deal with Etude House. Together, MSG has named them both a collaboration CF with Sketchers which will be filming in mid-July. Much the same as the former two groups, MSG’s soloist has also been spreading the company’s recognition with photoshoots, appearances on various shows such as You Heeyeol's Sketchbook, and is rumored to be filming a new drama of sorts. They’re really rounding out MSG’s expectations, and have been making the public take a closer look at the artists in their label.

MONEY GRAB involved > 1nferno, r!ot, 99’s solo

Summer means festivals, and it also means money from vacationers looking to come and see their favorite singers in person. 99 can be slow to promote, but they’ve at least has enough sense to take two of their artists who aren’t promoting at the moment and send them on a festival circuit together. This has been done for little decision other than convenience, though fans of 99’s soloist have been making jokes of how he has to play babysitter toward 99’s girl group. How he feels about this, and about being sent packaged with a girl group, has not been touched upon. In between these schedules, 99′s soloist is set to record and feature on KT’s solost latest single, set to release in late July. R!ot is using this as a chance for exposure, though it does have some rolling their eyes due to the fact that the girls only really have one title track underneath their belt. However, most of those criticisms are given to 99 for not giving them more music to promote in the first place. 1nferno has been seen overlapping these artists at many of the same events, likely due to Midas’ adage that there is always money to be made somewhere. With no promotions and nothing to prep for in the immediate future, it’s an obvious decision for the company to send 1nferno out to make money, how the boys feel about it or how tired they may or not be has always come secondary. All three have been meeting with fans after shows for small fan-signs or high-touch events.

[idolizenews]

I’ve been supporting Minyoung since the beginning during Pro.J. I’ve watched her grow prettily through the show as a trainee to an Aurora member. I’m still so~o happy she switched from 99 to Midas. They treat her so much better. And doesn’t she suit their image more? I can see why they put her into Aurora, it’s just the perfect fit. 

Anyway, they let her have a special stage in Chile. She performed it with Divinity member Jia~ It came out so lovely, and there were so many cheers for them! 

POST RESPONSE | [ + 99 ] [ - 16 ]

1. [ ㅇㅇ ] The cheering was so loud because of all of Jia’s overseas fans~ It was so cute, they both looked so excited about it all~ 2. [ 민니마우스 ] They really performed so hard. I’m glad that Minyoungie is getting more opportunities to shine. I like her in this angel image. So lovely ♡ 3. [ ㅇㅇ ] Oh look, it’s both of Danny’s girlfriends...are they battling it out to see who gets to go on a final date with him? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I wonder if they fought right after.     -- Just shut up, they’re both friends. Stop spreading rumors.

AIRING OPPORTUNITIES

The following opportunity shows should be considered to now be filming or airing depending on the status listed below. Prompts given will be specific to each show. Any thread prompts will require 4/4 replies and 350+ words. Any solo prompts will require 500+ words. Completion of prompts awards 5 exp and 5 sp unless otherwise stated. They must be started before the next opportunity post goes up in order to gain points, though can be finished after.

WE GOT MARRIED. now filming. 1st filming session.

These two are expected to uphold a very traditional and sugary sweet romantic idea of what it means to be a married couple. Their first meeting will involve a dual scavenger hunt, which will lead them to a meeting place in the studio. They will solve clues throughout the broadcast station, all pointing towards different locations to find the subsequent clue, each with casual notations or references to their respective personalities or groups. When they solves the clues, they’ll be led to an unused studio, where there will be a picnic set up with snacks and music. This will be their icebreaker first date part one. After that they’ll have a stroll through a traditional market, leading to a nearby cafe and will then separate to film their interview portions regarding the first meeting. This prompt can be filled either via a thread referencing these events or a solo that integrates the following interview questions: What is your ideal type? Does your WGM partner match that type? what was your initial reaction? what do you think so far, after your first date?

ROMANTIC AND IDOL. now airing. 4th filming session.

This filming session is an extension of the previous filming on Jeju Island. Having now been split into pairs for the duration of their stay, they will be spending the next two days on various planned outings with their partner, depending on questionnaires filled out during the plane ride. THere are a few courses the dates may take, from hiking, bike riding along the coast, horseback riding, cafe and food tours, visiting waterfalls, and visiting the green tea museum or folk village! At the end of the 2 days of dates, they will prepare for the grand finale, the filming of which will also take place on the island. Essentially, consider the 3rd, 4th, and 5th filming session to have taken place concurrently on Jeju Island, much as the original show did IRL, in late April-early May, but divided up for the purposes of the rp.

DREAM HIGH. now filming. 2nd filming session.

With the pilot set to air early in June, the idols are expected to begin working their way towards the filming of the second and third episodes. Episode 2 gives the characters a glimpse into their pasts on the show, which provides the idols a chance to work with the child actors representing their younger selves. As the school is introduced and focus is narrowed in, we’ll move through introducing the majority of the cast in these filming blocks, which means everyone should be on the top of their game. Episodes will begin airing imminently and the pressure is on for everyone to deliver passable performances that can bring attention to their up and coming groups and careers. It is, also, an ideal time to begin networking with others!

UNPRETTY RAPSTAR. now airing. final filming session.

After a significant run, UPRS is coming to a close. This episode filming will cover the final three members of the show competing to perform a joint song, with each taking a verse, and a notable second generation female vocalist taking on the chorus and vocal parts. They’re all given the same amount of time to work on their verse and are not allowed to adjust the instrumental. Then, the final two will face off with their own performance over a beat given by a guest producer. This time they are allowed to make minor modifications. Live voting at the 200 person performance as well as via the televised audience through text votes determines the final winner. The finale will air in mid June.

SHOW ME THE MONEY. now airing. final filming session.

With an impressive run, SMTM will be finishing up the season with this opportunity prompt. Similar to its sister show, the final three contestants will be battling it out. However, each is given the opportunity to perform with their mentor from the show on a shortened track. The same stipulations of not making adjustments to the beat are provided, and it will be performed in a similar venue, in front of 200 people, as well as televised live. The initial round of voting will eliminate one contestant, and the final two will go on to perform a rap done to a beat given by a guest producer (to which minor modifications may be made).  The final voting will determine the winner, with 50% from the audience present and 50% from the sms voting. 

SIBLINGS DAY OUT. now filming: boys. 1st filming session.

To break the ice and celebrate the early days of summer, the boys will be heading out to a pension in the countryside! They’ll take a nice hike, enjoy nature, and finally return to their lodgings,  where they will have the chance to cook a meal together (including grilling some delicious meat!) with each required to make a special dish for the other. After that, they’ll have the chance to sit around the fire pit on the patio and discuss the ups and downs of idol life, giving and getting advice in turn, from one another, and hopefully opening their hearts to one another more and more! This will of course be paired with the usual studio interview interspersed thereafter, which will be filmed once the boys return to Seoul. Filming will last for 1 night and 2 days. 

IDOL DRAMA OPERATION TEAM. now airing. 4th filming session (boy team and girl team).

As we approach the penultimate filming sessions, the teams will take on the hardest part of the process- recording and promoting their webseries! It will be a project that takes a good bit of time to complete, and thus the filming will be split over this and the next, final, opportunity prompt for the show. Interspersed with acting coaching moments and content from behind the scenes of the show, the teams will be spending time promoting via a fansign and filming the promotional spots for the webseries. These promotional spots will be between 10 and 30 seconds long and will be aired on the network to advertise the webshow, hosted on the network’s website. Get ready to act and promote your pants off, kids, we’re heading towards the grand finale!

ROOMMATES. now airing. 4th filming session.

As the show winds down, we find more and more of the episodes feature the interactions between the castmates. Playing games together, domestic activities, and volunteering opportunities are the name of the game. Today it is announced that they will be joint fostering three kittens until the end of the show. They’re tasked with preparing the house for the little kittens, purchasing the necessary items, naming them, and helping them get used to their environment in this episode block. They’ll also briefly volunteer at the shelter from which the animals came, as well as do a promotional photoshoot for adoption awareness.

DANCING9. now airing. 4th filming session.

With the two groups thus far tied, we face an enthusiastic response from the audience, who have submitted songs from current years for our newest challenge. The two teams have been assigned the most voted on submissions from the website, with the results as follows. The Blue Team will be working with their mentor’s choreography to perform Far East Movement’s Bang it to the Curb while the Red Team was voted to perform their mentor’s choreography for Imagine Dragon’s Radioactive. With the finale fast approaching, the result was left on a cliffhanger, with the members themselves still unsure of the outcome pending the final episode.

A SWEET STATION COLLAB FROM AURORA AND 1NFERNO!

1. [ +727 , -231 ] Oh...it’s really lovely? I’m surprised, it’s so sweet and they matched each other pretty well i think~? I didn’t have high expectations but I liked it! 2. [ +622 , -92 ] Minyoung in a romantic collab with another 1nferno member...ㅋㅋㅋ  She’s really used up her image already, huh? Tsk, no wonder 99 let her go so easily  ㅋㅋ 3. [ +538 , -13 ] I don’t know that Wei kid too well, but wasn’t he pretty charming here? I was surprised by his visuals, MSG should push him harder don’t you think? He suits a soft style like this! 

[idolizenews]

JAWBREAKER’S JUNIPER TEAMS UP WITH ATLAS’ GUN AND RELEASES A FULL VERSION OF ‘NO WAY’

1. [ +902 , -187 ] Finally ㅠㅠㅠㅠ I’ve been waiting for this since she talked about it on the show ㅠㅠ  2. [ +671 , -121 ] Hul, as a world I’m so proud of our Gun PD ㅠㅠ The song is exactly~ my type, and isn’t this combo seriously something else?? Their styles really fit together well 3. [ +381 , -92 ] Isn’t this the girl that keeps getting known because of other names first? ㅋㅋㅋ Her dad, that bully from Olympus, and now someone from Atlas? Wow~~ Who is she gonna attach her name to next~?

[idolizenews]

He was really caught...volunteering. ㅋㅋ Did I make anyone flustered? But our Hyukjae is too pure, is there anything you can even be worried about him doing? Anyways, Hyukjae has been seen volunteering recently at an animal shelter ^^ We even saw that he makes donations all the time to them on the down low. My friend who works there told me ㅠㅠ

Every time I hear news about Hyukjae, I always just feel more strongly that I chose the right person to bias. Titanium all have such kind hearts, really. Let’s work hard! You’ll win an award with your next song for sure!

POST RESPONSE | [ + 91 ] [ - 10 ]

1. [ ㅇㅇ ] Hmm...this feels more like a business post from Midas than anything else. It was just some coincidence? Don’t workers have laws in place not to share that information? Okay, Midas. Sure. What a nice kid. Try to bury all the rotten kids in your company with this one walking dogs ㅋ 2. [ 큐트재 ] Whether or not it’s promotional, just accept the fact that it’s a nice thing to do. I’m so glad Hyukjae is helping all the poor animals and bringing attention to the fact that they need homes. Supporting Hyukjae~ 3. [ ㅇㅇ ] Let’s praise someone when they do something commendable~ Thank you Hyukjae!

AURORA DEBUTS IN JAPAN WITH `MEMORIA`

1. [ +1,402 , -127 ] It was only a matter of time until they debuted in Japan ㅋㅋ Seriously, their concept has always been perfect for j-pop, as expected, Midas always knows what they’re doing ~ 2. [ +1,219 , -81 ] Hul this song is so pretty, can we get a Korean version soon too? ㅠㅠㅠ Memoria~ memoria~ It’s so good ㅠㅠㅠㅠ  3. [ +681 , -42 ] I wonder if they’ll be focusing on Japan until everyone forgets about Jiyeon being sick ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[idolizenews]

Nowadays, XLNC are really hitting it big in Japan. It’s why Koala T. keeps sending them off there. Truthfully, we all know it’s because that music is trendier in Japan, so it should be somewhat expected. But still, I realized another reason for their popularity is that the boys themselves are working so hard to prove themselves?? I’ll just talk about Jinhwan since he’s my bias, but his Japanese is actually su~per good. He’s only lived in Japan for a year too, so he must seriously be studying hard ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Share some of your work ethic with me too oppa, I need to pass my English exam ㅋㅋ

Supporting XLNC! Please make a Korean comeback soon too!!

POST RESPONSE | [ + 53 ] [ - 3 ]

1. [ ㅇㅇ ] I’m really so happy as an XL-ENT that the group is finding success, even if it’s overseas~ 2. [ 진황금 ] Wow, our Jinhwan really must have been studying so hard to communicate with all of his Japanese fans ㅠㅠ So commendable. 3. [ ㅇㅇ ] Ah...my wish is really for XLNC to get more domestic promos...Koala T...please just listen to my wants for once...ㅋ

[idolizenews]

Hey everyone, I know clarifications never get the same attentions as the actual “scandals” but please come here to read, it’s Taeho’s apology letter on his insta. Did you all go look? He explained that it was all just a big misunderstanding ㅠㅠ That he’s sorry for losing his patience after him and San had a small disagreement after so many hours of not sleeping...he really sounds so truthful. I respect that he’s not just making up excuses. He talked so much about loving San too, and how warmly he keeps him in his heart, along with how Olympus is still a family, and that he’s so apologetic to his fans. ㅠㅠ

He says he’s going to reflect and show us his best side in the future, one with more understanding and patience. ♡ Good luck Olympus and Taeho on Tempo promotions! Find strength!!

POST RESPONSE | [ + 116 ] [ - 29 ]

1. [ ㅇㅇ ] Apologetic to his fans? More like apologetic to his bank account now that he’s losing out on support...what about that crying kid? Did he post anything saying it was just some friendly miscommunication, too? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 2. [ 반짝태호 ] All of these haters really need to freaking shut it. Taeho is showing us his true feelings and everyone’s just ignoring him. I bet you’ve all lost patience before too!! And anyway, us Taeho fans really know how close him and San are. Actually, isn’t this whole thing just fabricated? By Olympus antis or San akgaes. Seriously, f*ck off and just let them be happy together. 3. [ ㅇㅇ ] Taeho OUT of Olympus!!!!

[idolizenews]

So...I was at Chile. I’ll be upfront, I’m an XL-ENT. I went there to shoot some pictures. In doing saw, I managed to find an uncharacteristically intimate moment between the boys. They were all group hugging together after their performance on stage ㅠㅠ King even had tears in his eyes...they were sparkling with such warmth...you could really just feel how much love they have for their fans and for each other.

I really wish that more people would come out to support XLNC...they’ve worked so hard to get where they are now and I just want to see them succeeding happily...They’re all so talented too! Really, you can look up some of their Japan performances where they can play their instruments live, it’s so impressive. Please check them out!!!

POST RESPONSE | [ + 60 ] [ - 4 ]

1. [ ㅇㅇ ] I study abroad in Japan right now, and XLNC are actually pretty popular among the students? I went to one of their shows with a friend and they were su~per fun! 2. [ 기타킹 ] Our King...I’ll follow you until the ends of time...ah....I’m tearing up now. What a kind heart... 3. [ ㅇㅇ ] Me too, OP. I really just want to see them succeeding. XLNC, please grow and bloom beautifully together. Let’s walk the flower path~

CHAIN STATION STARTS SEASON 2 WITH CB! - REBIRTH

1. [ +1,089, -133 ] It’s a nice song, it feels like spring to me? It definitely fits the seasons more than their usual releases...thanks Chain Station, we can’t expect sense from MSG. 2. [ +909, -41 ] What a great start to Chain Station~ I put it on my playlist right away!! ㅎㅎ  3. [ +735, -20 ] The song was seriously amazing. The MV was a bit weird though...
