one of a kind

It seems his break between his promotions had been wasted by him. His lips had remained slacked with surprise when a second full album was announced during their meeting. After their win, he should have known the company would capitalize on it and try to keep up the momentum. However, he had other plans after their promotion like relaxing and he was now regretting it. In retrospect, he should have regretted it from the beginning since not even the other members had the luxury to relax the way he had for the past week. 

He had barely stepped into the practice room, and missed out on valuable preparation time in the studio with the other members. He didn’t think that he was needed and the constant rejection of his verses had taken a toll on his motivation and confidence, which was not something that he was willing to speak out loud. The members had enough on their plate and him sulking would only bring unnecessary drama to an already stressful creative process. 

The meeting gave him the taste of reality that he needed, spending the upcoming weeks wherever he was needed and being fully available even if he was just in the room as an observer. If he didn’t fully back their album, he would have lost his sanity. He didn’t know if the public would be receptive to their sound, but it was no doubt their best album yet. Other groups weren’t putting out full albums, let alone an album with fourteen songs and several music videos. 

Was Yuseong finally putting more faith into their group? All the members had opportunities to branch out and were beginning to found their footing. Even as their dance practice ended with muscle aches and leaving them more haggard than the day before, the fits of laughter filling the room after the bluetooth speaker system decided that they were done for the day by refusing to reconnect had his heart swelling with pride. 

He was truly lucky to to be a member of Phoenix. Undeniably, 2022 would be Phoenix’s year.

summary: behind the scenes of etoile’s mago music video shoot

note(s): n/a

yurim thinks it’s quite early to make a second comeback this year, considering that they had their japanese comeback only a couple of months ago. to a korean audience, it would have been about six months but to their fans, it would seem much more recent. not that she’s complaining, of course, because she realizes that this means that etoile is still a priority for the company despite the debut of their newest boy group, but she just thinks it’s a lot to follow.

surely, she doesn’t think she’d be able to keep track of everything that happens with etoile if she was a fan.

that’s not to say that she’s not enjoying the preparations for this comeback. mago is in line with what etoile’s released so far and while some may claim that the group’s starting to sound repetitive with their track record, she can’t imagine them coming back with anything else. even the set for their music video is all sparkly and shiny. just as she likes it.

it seems like they turned the knob down on the sultry and sexiness compared to eung eung though which makes it even better. the comeback still has the bling that she likes, but the dresses aren’t as tight. she realizes that they’ve never had such tight dresses until eung eung, but that’s probably the reason why she was so uncomfortable with them back then anyway. she enjoys the preppier looking outfits and the retro, disco references this whole comeback seems to be making.

while she’s never been one to be concerned about the charts, she recognizes that etoile’s comebacks are always the center of such discussions. yurim thinks it’s the same group of people who claim that the group is untalented and only filled with pretty faces. either way, they don’t bother her, and she’s hoping that their fans don’t as well. at the end of the day, the words of such people don’t even matter.

she’s being called back on set for some bust shots, and that’s when she realizes that she’s already been on set for half a day now. music video shoots were always long and tiring and while not her favorite part of this job, she’s still excited to see how everything turns out.
