now that base has contacted and gotten confirmation and from the idols who will be involved in base christmas: the magic of the season, the idols will begin to prepare the album this month.
idols not involved in the album will also have the opportunity to film a short video talking about the season or the end of the year to participate in a teaser for the album release during this period.
all prompt completions for this period should be tagged #famedbasemagic1.
in-’verse info
during this three week period, all songs on the album will be recorded. songs 1 through 5 on the track list will be recorded some time between november 1 and november 14 with dates depending on when the artists of the song are available. “all i want” will be recorded throughout the week of november 15 to november 21. all recording will take place in a large studio space rented out by the team in charge of the album instead of at any of the companies.
everyone recording on the same song will generally be asked to be present all at the same time for at least one recording session day so that the production team can get behind the scenes footage for everyone on that day. some idols may be called back in on additional days to put down more vocals for songs. at this time, idols may briefly cross paths with other idols as their scheduled recording times run into one another.
all of the idols on the album will also participate in a reality show that will be uploaded to the base youtube channel in ten minute clips to give a more personal look at the “magic team”. this show will involve all of the idols coming together to learn and do various activities related to the holiday season. on november 15, all idols on the album will be scheduled to show up at a large kitchen around 8am, where they’ll all learn from one of seoul’s top pastry chefs and make christmas-themed treats such as designed cut out cookies, gourmet chocolates, bûche de noël, and homemade candy canes. that night around 6pm, the idols will meet back together at a warehouse, where they’ll talk to a man who helps design large christmas tree displays throughout the city (example). they’ll then be sorted in small groups of three or four and be instructed to come up with a christmas tree decoration design of their own. as this is all being filmed, this will be made into a competition with the promise that the best design will be used on a real public christmas tree display.
base is also seeking idols, whether they are involved in the album or not, to film a personal video on thoughts and feelings related to either winter or the end of the year to include in a teaser video for the project. idols participating in the video who are not otherwise involved in the album will be encouraged to do so by management who will have the request passed along to them.
these short clips will be included in the magic of the season video base will be uploaded to their youtube channel to tease the release of the album. in order to be included, the idol must submit a video discussing one (or multiple) of the following topics:
what is your favorite winter or winter holiday (christmas, new year’s, seollal, etc.) memory?
what is your favorite winter activity?
what is your favorite part of winter / christmas / new year’s?
what are your wishes for your fans, friends, and family as 2021 comes to an end and 2022 begins?
what moment from 2021 are you most grateful for?
idols will be filmed against a blank wall like in these video examples.
mun info
though it is now past the deadline listed on the original post, muses may still be submitted to participate in the project, but you may not join in on writing for the schedules until your muse has been added to the original post.
the “album teaser clip self-para” listed down below in the points roundup refers to the prompt at the end of the in-’verse info section with the questions the muse must discuss at least one of. this should not be written in interview format since it will not be conducted like an interview. the muse will be provided a number of ideas for what they can discuss (the questions listed) and then are asked to briefly talk on camera about it/them without being directly asked any questions.
any further questions should be directed to the main’s ask box!

it was inevitable for sunghee to end up here at one point. the moment they heard about the performances happening at the “basement”, sunghee knew they had to find a way to get out of every single conversation they were dragged into in order to watch the performances for a little bit. it felt awkward in a way for them to be there. for starters, they knew that most of the perfomers looked down on them. as an idol, no matter how good they became as a rapper, none of them would ever respected them fully as an artist. sunghee didn’t think that they needed that, per se, but it was conflicting admiring someone who would always look down on them.
sunghee wasn’t willing to dwell on that, though, would much rather enjoy what they were watching rather than wallow in self doubt. focused as they were in the performance, they only realised they weren’t alone when there was a bit of a lull, a short pause between one performer and the next, which had them leaning closer to jeonghwa to speak to her. sunghee wished they could pull her to their lap, but not being interested in causing a bit of a scene kept them from doing it. “you look nice,” they whispered to her, hand brushing softly against her thigh. “actually, you look really hot. but that’s just... how you usually look, isn’t it?”
Send me a “👀 + a question” and my muse has to answer honestly! - accepting!
“Fuck Alyssia. She’s sexy in a way I can vibe with for an hour or so. Kill Cindy to eliminate my competition. Wooshik gets to marry me, it looks like. He’s the one I know I can tolerate for long periods of time, and he’s a good choice if I was going to marry for looks.”

location: set of the mv for what’s wrong

sunghee’s determination to fly to shanghai as soon as possible after their obligations in seoul were fulfilled had forced them to schedule far too many things for the first week of january. they were lucky enough to only have one official schedule from the company to attend – champion’s photoshoot – so it wasn’t impossible for them to find a way to film two music videos in a week. not ideal, that was for sure, but most definitely not impossible. at that moment, that was as much as sunghee could expect. they would not be cutting their time with their family short because of work. not anymore.
today was what’s wrong’s turn. at least the concept for it was as simple as their other two music videos – god forbid if they had to film something with choreography –, so it wasn’t going to take more than a day to get everything done. they got through most of the scenes where sunghee was alone during the day while jeonghwa was not around, and left her scenes and their scenes together for when she was available, later in the day.
sunghee was filming one last scene alone when she arrived and they went to greet her where she was getting ready, knocking on the door before walking. “hi,” they smiled at her. they were grateful that, if they had to do this with someone, it was jeonghwa they were sharing this moment with. “you look pretty. you’re going to look better than me in my own music video.”
