IDOLIZE GROUP PATCH 2.2
Hello Idols! I’m sure you’re tired of us, but we’re here today with some updates to the general Idolize narrative! Some of them are retcon on our part and some will take place via the site narrative, so be sure to read closely under the cut!
NIGHTMARE.
As you’re aware, KTM is canonically struggling to define Nightmare right now, and they’re having trouble keeping the girls afloat. Our plan is and has been to develop them through the use of the Loona subunits, which will (as Loona experienced) grow their international popularity further, which Dreamcatcher also boasts relative to other groups. Much in the same way of Minx/Dreamcatcher, after the conclusion of promotions for the third unit (Eve), KTM will canonically (and this will be demonstrated through a pann and newsflash posts from the main) rebrand the group slightly.
Their discography will NOT change. However, the company will give them an overall official softening of their image, changing the name of the group to Divinity. They’ll boast a half creepy half cute image that provides them more flexibility in promotion, and the ability to incorporate Loona songs into the main group discography alongside Dreamcatcher. The narrative of KTM will begin to shift towards a powerhouse that really has a big pull on the international market, as each of their groups diversify out, with Nitro’s strong overseas presence, Divinity’s growing presence, and XLNC set to take over Japan.
After rebranding into Divinity, we’ll pare back to 2 subunits of three members each and redistribute the removed spot’s lines (because Dreamcatcher is not particularly fair with lines so that’ll boost things for some of the muses in the main group a bit) named Eve and Bliss. We’ll promote them alongside the main group, distributing songs out from the three Loona units to suit. Bliss will have the slightly cuter vibe and Eve the slightly more girl crush vibe.
All of this information is updated on the pages (along with a new moodboard for the group!), but does not go into effect fully in character until the pann and newsflash posts about the change. Nightmare/Divinity muses incoming are welcome to incorporate it in their bios as if the change has already happened, however, since it will be upcoming quite soon. We decided to change the content now to make sure that everyone has the opportunity to evaluate that when choosing a position and writing their bios. Functionally their past discography doesn’t change, this is just a way for KTM to begin boosting them overseas and getting them better endorsement deals and opportunities.
1NFERNO.
As we’ve mentioned a bit on the main in reference to some asks, we’ve been looking at changing up 1nferno because frankly Seventeen wasn’t getting the use we could have made out of their discography and never quite fit the MSG sound, and with indiGO taking on a more public friendly non-MSG sound, we needed to be sure 1nferno could maintain that MSG weird but strong vibe. So, after talking things over with the current 1nferno members, SVT is being removed and the narrative of 1nferno is reworked slightly. They’ll still have been versatile and experimental throughout their career but will have, now, a more cohesive overall image that trends towards intensity, performance, and the unexpected incorporation of disparate musical elements, reflecting MSG’s desires to be taken seriously artistically. 1nferno will function as the male counterpart to CHERRY BOMB! much in the way that indiGO and MayDay are counterparts in their appeal to the public market.
ON THE SEVENTEEN DISCOG.
Lots of people have asked about this, and we do have firm plans to move forward with a new company addition, likely sometime in the summer months, that incorporates a Twice group and a Seventeen/Verivery/TXT group (however this is subject to slight change, so don’t hold us to those exact combos, though we will of course be using SVT/TXT). We’ve got the information for the group pretty fully sorted but as we’ve recently made additions and changes, we want to give time for those to settle out before we throw too much more at the site, lest things get really overloaded. Tentatively, the Twice debut year will be 2015 and the TXT/SVT debut year will be 2017, so you can keep that in mind when considering potential future muses.
