ERA HIGHLIGHTS:
WOOO HOT HOT DEBUT !!!
sorry i’m just excited
people were sorta iffy on them at first which is very valid w smk’s track record of rookies
but they warmed up to them eventually because THEYRE SO CUTE !!!! they’re SO CUTE SO CUTE
people loved the music video there wasn’t much of an overarching story it was just really pretty
omg they were so happy to debut like especially peach and clover bc they trained for a while . i mean peach was more like “ohmygod :( it’s happening omg :(“ and clover was more “omg fucking FINALLY”
people were the most nasty to jaeyi :((( mostly bc he was with the company for a lot shorter than some other trainees and people were saying he shouldve trained for longer but shut up goeun knows what she’s doing
they had all the support they needed from their seniors anyway :(( fruit basket mentioned them , both soloists mentioned them , and solar were like all up in their business
they’re so close with solar honestly it’s the cutest THEY DID A VLIVE TOGETHER !!!
their interactions just :((( i cant i’m so sorry i actually can’t they have the best bond they’re so comfortable with each other
mostly
a lot of them trained together so some of them knew each other from beforehand !! clover was actually supposed to make it into the solar lineup but he didn’t . no ones ever specified the reason
(it’s bc they didn’t get along if there’s one member of botanica that most of solar don’t get along with its clover)
he was on that same predebut dance team as mj and milo and they just haven’t been close since then ??
i should probably get into the actual debut now ??? that’d be ideal
they didn’t get any wins this time around mostly due to fans taking a while to warm up to them so they weren’t promoted as well as they could’ve been ?
they did manage to get on a few variety shows though and we really got to see their personalities shine :( they’re so funny
they started a vlog series too where we also got to see a lot of their personalities ! and like just how much of a mess they all are like in every single vlog peach is either stressed as fuck or asleep ren is just on a different plane of vibe and in every single one there’s at least one clip of tian eating
tian start a mukbang series on youtube i think we’d all benefit from that
peach had light pink hair and it suited him so well it looked so good
ren’s hair was long and curly and dyed brown ! what i said abt his dead ass scalp
jaeyi had this purple ish colour that looked GORGEOUS omg
clover had bright red hair ! and he ROCKED it
eli had long ish brown hair bc he didn’t cut it out of spite . for who ? who knows
tian’s hair was an obnoxiously bright orange omg it was so bright it gives me a headache
the styling was so pretty it’s annoying these dudes didn’t ever not look good like . all the white and pink and blue
there was a lot of blazers and a lot of oversized button down shirts it’s hard to explain but i know what i’m thinkin of
they also had a lot of flowers :((( they had flowers in their hair for a few of the stages
the makeup . ethereal
someone give the makeup artists a raise right now please thank u
but also the just one day stages . they were always dressed in white it was all white and sparkly they looked so pretty
for one of the stages they were all wearing angel wings :(
ok but then they did a special stage which was a cover of how you like that by blackpink and people lowkey lost their shit over it it was so good but it was like . the complete opposite of their own music but they slayed
they uploaded a dance practice with vocals to the uncensored version and just . CLOVER SAYING “BRING OUT THE BOSS BITCH” THATSE ALL thank u
so uh . overall ? pretty solid debut 10/10 we stan
can’t lie i love the cover look at her she’s lowkey a rip off of the ruby (april) but it’s cool it’s all good
