𓂃 ₊ ˚ %. ! LOOBII is a boy group consisting of five members, starting from a line-up composed of 7 members, the group used to be a new version of their ❝ sunbae ❞ group BULLE7, but the debut of the seven members failed due the leaking of the info made public by an anonymous source, who apparently was close to the staff members.
To be exact, news surrounding a new boy group under DASK RECORDS were going for months, so when a suspicious table note was revealed, reading the name ‘ CARA7 ‘ fans weren’t surprised, the stage names of the seven members who were going to be part of the group were also revealed. This raised contrast between the Korean and international netizens. Although fans acclaimed the new group and were happy for the new boys, other insulted the company for debuting a group ‘only’ five years later NYX’OR’s debut, who at that time was leading the generation and gaining a very strong fanbase. For this reason, DASK RECORDS decided to stop the preparations for their debut and postpone it, but the group would later disband.
The sudden disbandment of the group before even their official debut was — obviously — not well received by the members, three of them choose to leave the company and only four members were willing to continue to be part of the line-up. At this time the company opted for a 5-members boy group.
It took several months to chairman Kang Hanbin to find the final member of LOOBII, who also became the youngest of the group, the skills of the 17-year-old young boy who wasn’t even a year old trainee was inevitable to see, for this reason he gained immediately the spot in the final group line-up and finally, the group was now a perfect piece of beautiful and talented people.

★⠀⠀ ⁄ ⠀⠀CURSE OF CAPULET is the fictional debut mini—album by the idol band BELLADONNA released on February 14, 2024. After their win on Superband, Belladonna would take five months to write and produce their first album with the help of Plastic Flowers SALEM and OLIVER and former Lush member DALLAS LINWOOD. Along with the songs written by the members, Salem had gifted them an old draft, RENEWAL, which was supposed to appear on Wind and Rain in 2019 but was replaced with another song. The album takes on themes of love, desperation, mortality, and the inevitability of fate with their concept changing from girlhood to medieval and renaissance imagery, often seeing the girls depicted as saints. The album had one title track, BURN ALIVE, but RENEWAL was also promoted as a b-side.
★⠀⠀ ⁄ ⠀⠀Curse of Capulet comes from the play Romeo and Juliet by Williams Shakespeare as it's themes closely resemble the overall meaning of their debut album. It is a reference to Mercutio's death in Act III, scene I in which he curses both the Capulets and Montagues with "a plague o' both your houses!", blaming both of them for his death. He wants Romeo to know that he blames the feuding families for his fate and remind Romeo that his love for Juliet was the reason for his death to Tybalt, Juliet's short tempered cousin. The album was released with TWO versions: ROMEO and JULIET, with the back cover featuring quotes from both characters alongside the tracklist.
Tumblr media
★⠀⠀ ⁄ ⠀⠀TRACKLIST.
‘ # 001.⠀ ⠀OLIM ──── written by kwak yulli, produced by oliver song, and performed by belladonna. olim is an introduction track to belladonna's debut track and mimics catholic hymns, with the word olim itself representing the beginning of a fairytale. the translation goes as: "once, long ago God arrived in this age of brightness / He will come again" and is repeated twice. all members of belladonna referred to this as the hardest recording session that they've ever had. the idea was brought up by oliver as a joke, but yulli saw it as the perfect time to flex her old latin skills from attending catholic skills. it was almost cut completely, but the girls were able to save it at the last minute.
‘ # 002.⠀ ⠀TITLE TRACK: BURN ALIVE ──── written and produced by bae haena, performed by kwak yulli. in their debut single, belladonna comes out swinging as they depict themes of addiction, self-destruction, and the sacrifices made for love. the main imagery of the song is a toxic relationship where both parties are consumed by their vices and are unable to break the cycle of destructive patterns. because of this relationship, they are no longer who they aspired to be and desire to capitalize on their own pain, a reflection on modern society.
‘ # 003.⠀ ⠀THEATRE ──── written by ko sarang, produced by dallas linwood, performed by kwak yulli. theatre explores the desire for love and acceptance through the lens of a theatrical performance. it delves into the idea of yearning for a love that feels like it belongings in a grand gesture from a movie or performance. the narrator is willing to go through the motions by pretending and faking emotions just to fulfill this dream of being loved. they yearn to be loved and adored as a film star, swept up in a fantasy where all their desires are achieved.
‘ # 004.⠀ ⠀FORTUNATE ISLES ──── written by kim eulsun and kim wonhui, produced by dallas linwood, and performed by kwak yulli. this song is often the one that gets the most criticism as professionals and netizens alike believe it doesn't fit the sound of the album. however, the girls are always ready to double down on how much they love the song. taking it's name from the greek island where all their greatest heroes lived, fortunate isles conveys the story of a letter being delivered to an ex lover who isn't quiet over their relationship yet, asking to be reborn in spring so they can live together forever.
‘ # 005.⠀ ⠀RENEWAL ──── written and produced by salem kueakulsri, performed by kwak yulli. renewal was a gift to the members of belladonna from plastic flowers leader, salem kuekulsri. in an instagram live, she confirmed that it had intended to be a plastic flowers song, but it was cut and eventually left in her vault of music. she said that she gave it to belladonna to remind them that they always hold the power in their lives and as a way to keep them strong. it explores themes of personal growth and resilience in the face of adversity, wanting to start anew and find solace in oneself after experiencing setbacks and challenges. by "growing a new plant in your head", the narrator can reach a new sense of personal transformation and optimism, leaving anyone that doubted them behind.
‘ # 006.⠀ ⠀LOVERS ──── written by bae haena, produced by oliver song, performed by kwak yulli. haena is quickly establishing herself as the queen of heartbreaking ballads in the group and fans absolutely love it. in this slower track, yulli really shines vocally as she laments on a relationship that failed, but only just realizing how good she had it. with only two verses and a chorus, their message comes across very well as they repeat "i wish you were with me" and "me as yours, you as mine".
‘ # 007.⠀ ⠀PAGAN POETRY ──── written by kwak yulli, produced by oliver song and dallas linwood, performed by kwak yulli. this song explores the spiritual connection between two people as the singer s pedalling through the dark currents and finding an accurate copy of another's pleasure inside of her. this connection is described as a secret code carved into black lilies, something deeply romantic and spiritual. the concept of paganism is reflected in the individual's connection to the divine as deeply personal and the beauty and spiirtualiy is celebrated.

★⠀⠀ ⁄ ⠀⠀ERA SUMMARY.
‘ # 000.⠀ ⠀MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS: 200,000 sales in the first week and a nomination on every major south korea music show. fans were unable to get them a win, but they would only place behind the actual winner by a few points, making it possible for the next era.
‘ # 000.⠀ ⠀belladonna's fandom name, DOVES, would be announced by the girls in a video on how to cheer for burn alive. it was chosen because doves are often seen as a symbol of peace, freedom, or love—all things their fans provided for belladonna.
‘ # 000.⠀ ⠀the budget was the talk of the town. everyone was supervised to see how lavish and beautiful their concept photos, music videos, and performance outfits were. it drove poppies mad and they demanded for equal treatment for the two.
‘ # 000.⠀ ⠀ fan wars started between DOVES and POPPIES as soon as it was confirmed salem and oliver were working on the album. many accused belladonna of not being able to write or produce their own music, which is objectively not true as seen by their superband run, and were just overall nasty towards the girls.
‘ # 000.⠀ ⠀ the OLIVER and YULLI DATING RUMORS. . . someone had posted a video of them looking a bit too close after plastic flowers' performance at cheeky's and twitter just ran with it. superbloom had to issue a statement saying they were just friends and had a close "senior—junior artist" relationship.
‘ # 000.⠀ ⠀ enough about plastic flowers! DALLAS LINWOOD was praised for his work on the album! after announcing his retirement from performing, most were excited to see him working on music again and he did not disappoint on these arrangements.
‘ # 000.⠀ ⠀ belladonna performed and WON their first time on immortal songs: singing the legends. they were on the PATTI KIM episode and sang MOTHER'S HEART IN SEOUL! it was praised by the older generation of domestic netizens and the girls will definitely be returning.
‘ # 000.⠀ ⠀all of the girls were supposed to have their natural hair colors for this promotional period, but haena had over plans. without telling superbloom, she bleached her own hair and it surprisingly came out well! when the company found out, she was forced to tone it and it remained a white color.
‘ # 000.⠀ ⠀many pre-debut fans were disappointed by their concept shift. though it was hinted at in the later rounds of superband, many wanted them to keep their "girl—rock" sound because they could relate to what they were singing about. there's a clear divide between these stans and those that enjoyed the curse of capulet.
‘ # 000.⠀ ⠀they were given a reality show called THE BELLA'S, which was filled with fun challenges and the girls getting to know each other! it's a loved series by fans and is still being uploaded even after promotions ended. they had a whole episode on haena's hair, which was an instant classic.
‘ # 000.⠀ ⠀despite knowing each other for less than a year, BELLADONNA seemed very close. they have amazing chemistry together and even showed how well they knew each other on BLOOM WITH US, with YULLI being the overall winner because she "loves her members".
‘ # 000.⠀ ⠀they also posted various covers including EDGE OF SEVENTEEN by stevie nicks, NIGHT SHIFT by lucy dacus, CHILL KILL by red velvet, THE CHAIN by plastic flowers, DITTO by newjeans, and many more.

— HAUTE PINK is a fictional K-pop girl group under Flowerbank Entertainment. Originally, the group debuted under Angelico Entertainment with the lineup of Misun, Jamie, Jisoo, Bada, Lexa, and Soojin but would fall inactive after the debut of Venus in 2018. Haute Pink comprised former members of the rotational girl group SE4SONS. They were beloved by the general public for their sexy and girl crush concept, which was very different from their former group's typical soft and cute concept.
Despite the group being fairly successful for their time, Angelico left them dormant after Venus's debut in 2018, just three years after the girls' debut. After a year of inactivity, four members would terminate their contracts with Angelico, including Jisoo, Bada, Lexa, and Soojin, leaving only Misun and Jamie in Haute Pink. This was until in 2020, nearly two years of nothing from Misun, Jamie, and Haute Pink in general, their contract would be purchased by Flowerbank Entertainment in what Angelico CEO, Son Jinhwa, would say was "an act of pity."
Under Flowerbank Entertainment, Haute Pink would reform, adding Sunny, Fame, Yui, and Josie in 2021. All four girls were former Angelico trainees, leading the public to believe that Flowerbank was attempting to infiltrate Angelico. Though the CEOs would dispute these claims, calling them "silly and baseless," netizens would cite this as the first real sign of tension between the companies.
Haute Pink would resume activities in 2022 after three years of inactivity. Due to the beloved IZ*ONE member Josie Lee being in the lineup, the group's debut would be an instant hit, skyrocketing the girls to heights they never experienced under Angelico. Known for their dedication to the girl crush concept and consistently incorporating pink in every activity they do, the girls have built a steady and fiercely dedicated fanbase.

★ ⠀⠀ ! ⠀⠀ Since earning her first real paycheck, SALEM has invested heavily into her collection of bass guitars. These are only the four that she uses most often and there are many more in their studio space in Superbloom's headquarters. Despite having so many, she knows them like the back of her hand and can easily deicide which one needs to be used while recording or even playing live. The one with the STICKERS is her prized possession, having been with her since the beginning of THE BIG GLOOM.
Tumblr media
★ ⠀⠀ ! ⠀⠀ Compared to the rest of the members, JUNYEONG has only became interested in drum kits recently. He never really cared about drums before they started making it big but that's what you get for spending years resenting your position in the band! He shifts between these two main kits and has been looking into some other additions for them recently. In the middle, there is the Plastic Flowers logo as well!
Tumblr media
★ ⠀⠀ ! ⠀⠀ SERIN loves her aesthetic guitars, especially that third white one. She is easily the most picky member of her instruments and only owns a few of each style. Compared to Salem, she also struggles with choosing the perfect choice and works very closely with her producers to ensure the best sound comes out. She has gotten better over the years but she has no real interest in collecting them either. It's about the look more than anything for her.
Tumblr media
★ ⠀⠀ ! ⠀⠀ DEURIM switches between a grand piano, organ, and keyboard easily. She had actually learned how to play the organ from OLIVER when she joined as it was needed for songs like THE CHAIN and PSYCHO. However, she plays the keyboard most often as its the easiest to bring around to music shows and on tour, forcing them to sacrifice some of their music for functionality.
Tumblr media
★ ⠀⠀ ! ⠀⠀ Resident musical prodigy, OLIVER owns a lot of different instruments, which have been used over the years on their albums and live performances. Most recently, he bought an accordion for his 2024 New Years Resolution of learning how to play and fills in any musical gaps for the band. Most of the times, OLIVER just plays the rhythmic guitar and violin, with the rest being saved for special occasion.
★ ⠀⠀ ! ⠀⠀ GET TO KNOW ... PLASTIC FLOWERS — INSTRUMENT EDITION.

released on february 14th, SHOW ME LOVE stands out as a special ep from PARADOX INVASION, the boy group under GLASSHOUSE. this unique ep consists of two tracks, and what makes it distinct is that both releases were crafted and recorded in both japanese and chinese. this marks PARADOX INVASION's second ep, primarily featuring songs in languages other than korean, showcasing their versatility and global appeal. although both songs, SHOW ME LOVE and OFF MY FACE, received brief promotions, with the former being pushed in japan and the latter in china, music videos for both tracks were released. this strategy not only allowed the group to cater to their diverse international fan base but also emphasized their commitment to delivering quality content across different regions.
tracklist.
SHOW ME LOVE ... the song conveys a passionate mix of emotions, centring around a deep infatuation and admiration for a particular person. the members expresses possessiveness and a desire for attention, asserting a claim over the person of interest while acknowledging imperfections. there's a plea for acceptance and recognition, a longing to stand out in the eyes of the person being sung to. the commitment and loyalty declared through the phrase "ride or die" underscores a willingness to endure challenges together. the overall tone suggests a complex emotional landscape, combining love, desire, and a fervent yearning for a meaningful connection. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ — ( written by LIGHT & ADRIEN, prod. by LIGHT & GLOOMY )
OFF MY FACE ... the song delves into the intricate emotions of infatuation, portraying its transformative power in forging a profound connection between individuals. its lyrics vividly capture the exhilaration and eager anticipation associated with the journey of falling in love. by emphasizing that this experience transcends mere happenstance, the song paints a picture of a magical and profound moment that goes beyond the ordinary. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ — ( written by DASHI, prod. by LIGHT & GLOOMY )
era notes.
the release of a love song by PRDX for valentine's day for ENDGAME marked a surprising departure from their usual schedule. however, this unexpected move stirred up controversy on twitter as fans of PRDX clashed with those of STUPID CUPID (STCP), known as CHERUBS. the dispute arose from the fact that PRDX was "permitted" to release a love song for valentine's day, while STUPID CUPID's planned valentine's album faced a delay. this disagreement highlighted the fervent loyalty and competitive spirit between the two fandoms, sparking discussions and debates across social media platforms.
the song effortlessly racked up millions of views, a feat that hardly shocked their dedicated fandom. riding the wave of its popularity, a lively dance challenge emerged on tiktok, with the track being featured in countless videos. what made this challenge stand out was the enthusiastic participation of artists from various other companies and individuals closely connected to the members of PRDX. the collaborative and inclusive nature of the tiktok challenge not only propelled the song's momentum but also fostered a sense of friendship among the broader music community.
the heartfelt lyrics of 'SHOW ME LOVE' stirred speculation among fans, who believed that the song's writers, LIGHT and ADRIEN, might be in relationships, given the genuine and emotional nature of the words. however, rumours began circulating about LIGHT, suggesting he had gotten someone pregnant. swiftly addressing the gossip, LIGHT took to his social media, dismissing the claim with a straightforward "what a fucking lie" on one of his FANSYNC posts. meanwhile, ADRIEN chose a different approach, sharing an endearing selfie with his current girlfriend (relationship confirmed months ago), PLUM, accompanied by a caption that read, "happily in love <3 no one's cheating on anyone". these social media responses not only put an end to the speculations but also highlighted the artists' transparency in addressing personal matters directly with their fan base.
after finishing their short promotions for both songs, PRDX's MIKEY was announced as the new mc for inkigayo, a position that he now shares with WANDERLUST's WAY ( @paradiiseblu ).

the scare of 2021
( 2021 )
Tumblr media
warning ! pregnancy scare, obvious mentions of sex, this is not meant to sexualize anyone at all, pregnancy jokes
bold is english
ivy’s periods have always been fairly normal. her periods usually start on the exact day they are expected to, they feel the same, the flow is the same. she’s always been lucky to have a good cycle. that’s why whenever her period is even a day late, it can be concerning.
and this time around, it was no different.
see, mingi and ivy have been pretty sexually active recently. and they are safe, she’s on birth control, condoms, all that jazz. but there’s always that small, small, tiny chance that maybe it won’t work. and not only as a young woman, but an idol at that, it scares the living hell out of her.
that’s why when her period didn’t arrive even after two, three days, she was freaking the fuck out. there would be rare occasions when her period would be a day or maybe even two late, usually during stressful times or her diets. but, she didn’t feel stressed at the moment, she wasn’t on a strict diet. they’re in between schedules right now. is she stressed? when was the last time she ate?
on day one without her period. she freaked for a little, but let it slide, telling herself it will come tomorrow. and then tomorrow came. and nothing. the next morning after that, she rushed to the bathroom and… nothing.
shit.
the first person she could think of was her sister. her pregnant sister. yeah, she will know.
“you have such a stressful job olivia, it’s probably stress” her sister soothes the younger through the phone as her fianc�� decorates the babies new room.
“yeah but… we’re in between schedules. and mingi and i haven’t exactly practiced abstinence” she mumbled into her phone, lord know what would happen if someone heard her right now.
“if you’re that concerned, talk to him.” she said like it was the easiest thing in the world to do. sure she told her fiancé, but they weren’t exactly preventing a child at the time either.
“but what if he-“
“he loves you liv, i’ve never seen you guys so happy before. the worst thing that could happen is that you take the test and it’s positive”
“that’s the point unnie! i don’t want a baby!” she whispered-screamed at her sister who chuckled
“i doubt you’re pregnant, trust me, you would know. but if you’re really that concerned, talk. to. him.”
ivy let out a sigh of frustration, “okay” she said with a pout.
“okay, i gotta go, i love you olivia” miya smiles and sing-songs cutely over the phone
“i love you too, bye-bye”
the singer sighed again and hung the phone up. her anxiety was high, which probably wasn't helping the later period... or maybe the ba-
no ivy, stop.
she walked into the living room to see jongho, seonghwa, wooyoung, and mingi on the couch just chillin. her boyfriend gave her an endearing smile, "what're you doing, love?" he asked.
she didn't say anything, instead she panicked. she grabbed jongho, dragging the poor boy off the couch and dragging him to her room and shutting the door. the other three sat there confused but decided to just brush it off. sometimes it's better to not ask questions.
"what the fuck" jongho said as he fixed his hoodie and ivy shut the door.
"my periods late" she blurted
"...okay?" men are so oblivious. the girl looked at him with a look until realization hit him in the face "you think you're pregnant?"
he might as well scream it through a microphone, "will you shut the fuck up?" she threatened and hit his arm. "and i don't know. i'm three days late"
"okay, and you're telling me instead of mingi hyung because...?" he questioned the girls choices in this moment.
"i panicked okay! and besides, you're my go to with secrets. hwa oppa would be the one giving birth if i told him"
"true," jongho nodded "i mean, are you sure jisoo-ah"
"i don't know, we've been fucking a lo-"
"ew, okay, no, shut up" he made a disgusted face and shook that image out of his head "i've heard enough. i think you should just talk to mingi about it and see where you guys wanna go from there"
she knew he was right, she knew her sister was right. but she was mortified of how mingi would react. "okay" she nods and chews her lip.
"i'll go grab him for you" he say walking towards the door.
"now?" she says nervously, she was planning a little later...
"yes now. if you don't speak up now you're going to stall"
why is jongho always right. she nodded again and sat on her bed as he walked out the room. he walked back into the living room where he was previously rudely dragged away from. mingi looked at him with a confused look. "she wants to talk to you" jongho said.
mingi pointed at himself a little anxiously, jongho nodded. seonghwa scrunched his eyebrows and wooyoung jokingly howled 'ooh mingi's in trouble!' seonghwa smacked him though.
"good luck" jongho smiled innocently and patted the tallers shoulder.
"don't say shit like that" he begged before opening the door to ivy's room and closing it after he stepped in. "hey, baby, what's up?"
ivy sat at the edge of her bed, bouncing her leg up and down like crazy. "uhm, so," she didn't want to look at mingi, but he stepped closer. he sat next to her, putting a comforting hand on her thigh, stopping the bouncing. "my periods late"
he instantly understood what she meant. she looked up, seeing his face go pale, "how late?" he questioned her.
"three days..." she spoke with a shaky voice, she sounded like she was going to cry.
"okay," he was freaking out inside, he didn't to scare her anymore than she already was. "call your sister, see if they can go out and buy some tests. we have to tell at least hongjoong"
of course. the leader. she nodded in agreement, if they were experiencing this their family deserves to know. "okay"
ivy called miya back asking for a test, her sister said she would send her fiance out to get them. until then, they decided to tell the others. well, ivy more of blurted it out.
they walked out of the bedroom after she got off the phone and now everyone was home all of a sudden, perfect, as if she didn't feel claustrophobic as it was. "are you okay jisoo-ah?" hongjoong asked, she felt like she was gonna be sick. looked it too
"yeah sh-"
"i think i'm pregnant." she cut her boyfriend off, shocking everyone in the room. everyone's eyes were wide, jaws dropped, bodies frozen.
"i- uh, did you take a test" the leader asked, placing a hand on the counter for leverage. the girl started to tear up as she looked up at mingi, if she spoke up she would bawl.
"her sister's fiance is bringing them" the taller clarified.
seonghwa and wooyoung walked over to ivy, embracing her as she stared at the ground, almost in shame. san walked over and spoke softly to her as mingi receive a glare from hongjoong.
"a word?" hongjoong asked mingi and guided him to his room. yunho knew it was bad timing, but he chuckled a little. not over the fact that ivy was possibly pregnant, but that mingi was getting a tern talking to about possibly getting ivy pregnant. yeosang had to turn away to hide his own chuckles.
seonghwa shoots them threatening eyes telling them to stop as ivy cried in his arms. "where's min" she asked, she zoned out long enough to not notice his sudden disappearance.
"he's with hongjoong" san said softly with a smile, "let's get you hydrated."
"it's a two person tango" mingi defended as his leader scolded him.
"you two should be more careful!" he insisted. he was worried about both of them, and surely at some point he would lecture the both of them about these scares. but ivy seemed to be taking it worse than mingi at the moment. or maybe mingi is just hiding it, maybe he needs to vomit.
"we are! there's still always at least one percent chance-"
a knock on the door interrupted the two, "hey, baby daddy, you're needed in the bathroom"
mingi opened the door to see a giggling wooyoung, "go to hell, wooyoung"
"already there" the shorter announced proudly and watched mingi knock on the bathroom door before entering. hongjoong smacked the cheeky member upside the head before passing him.
"now we wait" jongho sighed and leaned against the wall.
"you know, i wouldn't be too mad about a little mingi or ivy running around" wooyoung smiled to himself, san nodded silently in agreement, i mean it couldn't be that bad?
"you're going to lose speaking privileges" seonghwa raised an eyebrow and hongjoong rolled his eyes and walked into the kitchen.
five minutes suddenly felt like five hours. mingi and ivy sat on the bathroom floor as their members sit on the floor outside the bathroom. they all wait anxiously, tapping their toes or fingers, snapping, humming, checking the time. how long was this gonna take?
jongho let out a sigh right before the bathroom door swung open, they all stood up immediately, ivy stood in the doorway with her hands behind her back and an unreadable look plastered on her face. everyone felt their hearts drop a little, thinking what anyone would.
"i'm not pregnant!" she shouted proudly, holding up the three tests she took. mingi laughed from behind her as everyone let out a breath they didn't know they were holding.
"thank god" hongjoong sighed.
"i know now's not the time, but whenever you guys are ready, i want to be an uncle"
"shut up wooyoung."

✹ … ⥁ A DAY IN LOOP NEWS: APRIL 30TH, 2024 (1/3): After six years in operation, New Wave Music declares bankrupcy and immediate shut down.
Announced and held on the same day by New Wave Music's founder and CEO Seo Chanhyuk, an emergency public press conference has been held on company grounds this tuesday (April 30th) announcing the immediate termination of the record label - stated in the CEO's opening speech to be privately inactive since early April:
"Our last act as New Wave Music, a fully operating entertainment company, was the release of LOOPiN's single album 'Reason: Start', on March 23rd. Although imperfect and not done according to the members and the staff idealized vision, it was the way found by our superiors to share the work of our artists while keeping the transparecy needed to protect our shareholders and colaborators in our final moments. For the rushed release that has hurt the people that allowed us to go this far, we deeply and sincerely apologize."
As the points of major highlight in the short interview, comes the fate of New Wave's current groups: rookie girl group PASS(i)ONE (2024 -) and boy group LOOPiN (2018 -):
"As a compromise to PASS(i)ONE's promotional contract with Mnet and the CJM Group as the winner of 'Be The One', due on March 1st, we've put all our resources to make their debut meet the required expectations. We're proud to say that, despite all complications, we have succeded and proudly repaid our dept to our partner companies. But we can't go on any longer; we can't take PASS(i)ONE any further."
PASS(i)ONE is a nine membered girl group debuted on February 26th, three months after their extremely successful 3 member run on Mnet's survival reality show 'Be The One', where small and medium companies sent trios made out of their close to premiere trainee teams, all in chance of winning a highly sponsored debut in the first semester of 2024. The group is made up Dahyung, Cai, Chaeun, Bless, Kendall, Wanee, Furumi, Yeji and Marcie, all no longer signed to New Wave Music. Their future is currently unknown, altought CEO Seo hints over the conference that they're not disbanded.
Regarding the future of LOOPiN, however, the CEO declares himself unable to speak on:
"LOOPiN has always taken pride in being a self-producing, self-fulfilling act. We've terminated our exclusive contracts with all member colaborators on March 28th, and since then I have personally encouraged their persue for new agencies. But what has been decided for their future as a team has been done privatly and beyond our professional input or awareness. To whataver happens in their future, we can't add any further comments."

★⠀⠀ ⁄ ⠀⠀ BELLADONNA is a fictional indie idol band formed through the third season of JTBC's Superband in late 2023. As the winners of the season, they were given a permanent contract with Superbloom Media, who would replace Dreamus Company as the new distributor. BELLADONNA would be formed in the first round of the competition and remain together for the entire duration, consistently beating any group that they went against by a significant margin. Their cover of U-GO-GIRL by first generation icon Lee Hyori would go viral in South Korea for their stage presence and new take on the song, projecting them into first place and leaving the other groups to fight for second. The group is composed of FIVE members: SARANG, WONHUI, HAENA, EULSUN, and YULLI.
★⠀⠀ ⁄ ⠀⠀ Being under the same label as the NATION'S SONGBIRDS, Plastic Flowers, comparisons between the two bands began as soon as the show finished airing. Leader KO SARANG would say ... " Belladonna is aiming to be different from our labelmates. While we love everything they've produced and done for us, there will be no overlap between us. " Despite this, Superbloom Media confirmed that they would be working with Plastic Flowers' lead singer OLIVER SONG and new in-house producer and former member of Lush DALLAS LINWOOD as they " continued to refine their sound and discover new mediums ".
★⠀⠀ ⁄ ⠀⠀ Belladonna's debut was announced on JANUARY 1, 2024 with the official release coming FEBRUARY 14, 2024. They took the fourth quarter of 2023 to write and produce their first mini-album CURSE OF CAPULET and the title track Burn Alive, which was described as a "rock track exploring themes of identity, longing to recognition, and the desire for power and validation". As the most watched season of Superband, with 4.6% viewership for the finale alone, many are looking forward to BELLADONNA's debut and are excited to see what they bring to the table.

⟢   HALF    HEART,    ALL    SO(U)L    !
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
SO(U)L, often stylized as SYOUL by fans, is a fictional seven-member boy group under STRMRUNNER Media—a company created and co-owned by JYP Entertainment and HYBE Corporation—that debuted on DECEMBER 3RD, 2018 with the mini-album Epilogue containing two title songs. prior to their debut, no official information about them had been revealed to the public. the group was formed by a combined number of trainees from both major companies, three from hybe co. and four from jyp entertainment. they quickly became known for their synchronization and stunning live vocals, ranking among the top idol groups in those categories.
however, their story didn’t start there.
originally stepping into the limelight on JANUARY 4TH, 2018, six out of the seven current members would partake in the making and recording of their pre-debut single, Ignorance in Bliss, and released it to the public through both the official hybe labels channel and strmrunner media’s. the song only just managed to pull two million views within the first week of publication but formally introduced the new group as The Soul Project, succeeding in at least getting their name out there. with both companies choosing to not reveal any information about who was to be in the group, and almost acting as if they never existed, the solid fan base they could’ve had dwindled down to just a handful of dedicated people.  
Ignorance in Bliss would make its short rounds on social media for the next month, slowing down gradually, before eventually coming to a complete halt. both fans and the companies had moved on by that point, focusing on their current and upcoming acts. it would continue to only be radio silence from here on out. 
by october, the seven members still had yet to be revealed, but on the 23rd of that month, an article would make its way into the public eye; specifically on twitter. titled The Soul Search and written by someone under the pseudonym Blanc, the author went into detail about the research they had been doing for the past nine months to find any and all information they could about the group. while they clarified that the contents found were all to be taken with a grain of salt, there was no denying the fact that the supposed track details—and most shockingly of all—profiles containing the names, ages, and even some of the members’ faces, had been leaked. 
while strmrunner media made no official comments on the situation, it’s speculated that the group’s debut was moved to be a week earlier than originally planned. hitting the internet on december 3rd with the title tracks Ignorance in Bliss, an overlooked gem, and Back to You, their mini-album instantly became a hit and earned them the recognition they deserved for their earlier efforts and turbulence they faced. the seven would quickly establish their brand as an entirely self-produced group soon after, a way to distance themselves from the management that failed to do anything for them. claiming the titles of all-rounder kings, they’ve gained the reputation for their lyricism, stage presence, and quality concept.

★⠀⠀ ⁄ ⠀⠀TOWER OF BABEL is the fictional fourth studio album released by South Korean-based idol band PLASTIC FLOWERS on April 8, 2024. This will be the last album released with all five members being signed under SUPERBLOOM MEDIA, as the company confirmed the departure of four members in early March. It would later be confirmed by the various South Korean music shows that Plastic Flowers' lead tracks ARE U COMING, EASIER, and KNOCK ME OUT would be banned from performance due to inappropriate lyrics and negative effects on the youth. They would instead promote THE RIVER for a month.
★⠀⠀ ⁄ ⠀⠀The album gets it name from the biblical story of the same name from GENESIS 11:1—9 and is an origin myth meant to explain why the world's peoples speak different languages. According to the story, a united human race used to speak a single language and when they moved eastward to Shinar, they decided to build a new city and tower with it's top in the sky. Observing their city and tower, Yahweh makes it so they can no longer understand each other and scatters them across the world. According to leader SALEM, the name TOWER OF BABEL was chosen to reflect the major themes of the album, which includes miscommunication, self-destruction, decaying relationships, and escapism.
That is why it was called Babel—because there, the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth ( NIV; Genesis 11:9 ).
★⠀⠀ ⁄ ⠀⠀TOWER OF BABEL would peak at NUMBER ONE and achieve a PERFECT ALL-KILL with the fifteen songs locking out the top spots for THREE DAYS. The lead single ARE U COMING? would remain at the top of the chart for 739 hours, replacing DITTO by NewJeans as the song with the longest perfect all kill. Despite not promoting their actual title tracks on music shows, THE RIVER would earn 17 music show wins across the different shows.

TRACKLIST — playlist.
‘ # 001.⠀ ⠀A KISS WITH VENUS ──── written by oliver song, produced by kwak yulli and oliver song, and performed by oliver song. beginning with a heavy drum line and instrumental, a kiss with venus explores themes of love, sexuality, and self-expression as the narrator attempts to break their societal norms. as they "reach planet earth", the song confirms that it will deal with subjects that are often considered unconventional before leading into their challenges of stereotypes and diversity of an individual's identity. though beloved by fans, a kiss with venus was met with criticism from the general public as their open discussion of sex and oliver's sexuality was "too much" for them.
‘ # 002.⠀ ⠀TITLE TRACK: KNOCK ME OUT ──── written, produced, and performed by oliver song. twitter user @/oliver4eva summed it up best: "you know the pf album will be good if they get banned from music bank". knock me out deals with themes of desire, connection, and vulnerability as he wants to completely surrender to the passions of this new relationship. the chorus emphasizes the power and intensity of their connection, describing it as loud, angelic, and addictive, as they become completely captivated and consumed by each other. by the end, they are dependent on each other and the lover has made such an impact on their life, needing the other person their constantly and feeling insignificant without them.
‘ # 003.⠀ ⠀RUTHLESS ROCKSTARS ──── written, produced, and performed by salem kuaekulsri. originally released in 2017, ruthless rockstars is not only a fan favorite, but beloved by all five members. it was re-released with deurim to celebrate their short time together and show how plastic flowers have changed since 2017, with minor edits being made to the instrumentals. the song explores themes of frustration and defiance in the face of control of others. they are seen as suspects, watched closely, and labeled as "hopeless murderer" by those around them. those around the narrator continuously reject and oppose them, leading to a growing sense of resentment with the other around them. the chorus emphasizes their resolve to stay true to themselves because they are doing nothing wrong.
‘ # 004.⠀ ⠀THE FALL OF BABYLON ──── written by salem kuaekulsri, produced by minami hiro and salem kuaekulsri, and performed by oliver song. the fall of babylon is about two people who were once deeply in love, but that love was not strong enough to stay together. though they wanted to take their love to the next level, it was too intense and burned out quickly. they tried to stay together, but it was in vain, and eventually ended. it uses the ancient city of babylon—known as a place of destruction and ruin—to emphasize the unfortunate destruction of their relationship. anyone that's caught up on the plastic flowers lore clocked this as a draft from oliver and salem's break up back in 2022 and has been subjected to intense analysis by those fans, leading to the interpretation above.
‘ # 005.⠀ ⠀TITLE TRACK: ARE U COMING? ──── written and produced by oliver song and finn lee, performed by oliver song. an oliver song classic, he pulls out all of his favorite themes of yearning, escapism, and longing in a romantic situation. the lyrics paint the picture of a place where hopelessness is nonexistent and creating their dreamlike reality. they are eager for their partner's presence, symbolizing a deep emotional yearning for connection and intimacy. rather than their traditional music videos, the production for are u coming? was just a performance at cheeky's! in seoul, confirming that the place discussed in the song is a bar or some sort of party.
‘ # 006.⠀ ⠀TITLE TRACK: EASIER ──── written by lee jiyeon, produced by oliver song and oh deurim, performed by oliver song. now this was the talk of twitter when the highlight medley dropped and it was confirmed that jiyeon of all people had written easier. unlike the rest of the members, she's never been involved in a dating scandal so fans were surprised to see a break-up song from her. easier revolves around the question of whether it is easier to stay or go, contemplating the idea of letting go of a toxic relationship, but at the same time, admitting the love is too strong to leave. she is unsure if she wants to stay in such a relationship, creating a cycle where they are stuck running away and returning to each other. when asked about
‘ # 007.⠀ ⠀THE RIVER ──── written by salem kuaekulsri, produced by min eunji / roze, and performed by oliver song and salem kuaekulsri. if you loved please from ohio impromptu, you will definitely be a fan of the river. originally just meant to be a b-side and not promoted, when it was confirmed their three singles would be banned from music shows, they were quick to petition and lost once again. the river was chosen as the replacement title track because of how similar it is to previous singles and how much the members liked the song. the river focuses on the complexities of a failing relationship and highlights the struggle of two people walking down a lonely road together. the chorus explores the depths of emotions as the singer contemplates throwing everything into the river, symbolizing the desire for change and renewal.
‘ # 008.⠀ ⠀DAY DRINKING ──── written, produced, and performed by oliver song. this song explores themes of escapism, dysfunctional relationships, and self-destructive behaviors. it goes into the struggles and complexities of dealing with personal issues and trying to deal with them through unhealthy means. though he knows that the behaviors are unhealthy, it serves as a temporary escape from their emotional turmoil and helps them avoid confrontations. throughout the song, it reflects a trouble relationship as the emotional toil is taken on both parties and one's search for escape from reality.
‘ # 009.⠀ ⠀EAST COAST BLUES ──── written by oliver song, produced by lee jiyeon and oliver song, and performed by lee jiyeon. east coast blues dives into themes of self-destruction, depression, and a desire for escape. for many fans, this is seen as a spiritual successor to day drinking as it was also written by oliver and actually confirms them escaping from their current turmoil. the protagonist grapples with being overwhelmed by life's challenges as they think about moving to a different location to start new, highlighting a need for healing and self-improvement. despite the struggles in the lyrics, there is a sense of liberation in letting go of toxic influences and embracing the unknown.
‘ # 010.⠀ ⠀CRASH MY CAR ──── written by oliver song, produced by salem kuaekulsri, and performed by oliver song. the song depicts a sense of desperation and longing for someone near, even to the point of risking something like crashing a car to be with them. it suggests a strong emotional attachment and an ability to let go, as well as a willingness to do anything to be with the person they desire. poppies have so many theories about who this song could be about and it's causing a mini-fandom civil war as they try to figure it out. many still believe that salem is in the picture, while others—mainly solo stans of oliver—think there's a new person and want to figure out who that is.
‘ # 011.⠀ ⠀NOTHING / EVERYTHING ──── written by oh deurim, produced by oh deurim and oliver song, and performed by oh deurim and kang junyeong. as the member with the least amount of songwriting credits, fans were excited to see what she would bring to such a conceptually strong album. thankfully, nothing / everything would rise to the occasion as an introspective song that dives into themes of perseverance, loyalty, and self-reflection, inviting the listen to contemplate their own experiences and struggles they may face. they question if they have given everything or lost everything, yet acknowledge that despite any deep changes, their heart remains steadfast and unchanged in its dedication to their loved ones. on live, she confirmed the song was written about plastic flowers and how much she's given over the past few years.
‘ # 012.⠀ ⠀JOKE! ──── written by lee jiyeon, produced by minami hiro, and performed by lee jiyeon. whatever jiyeon is going through, it's creating some amazing music as joke! explores themes of power dynamics, control, and emotional manipulation within a relationship. this enters a new "arc" of the album, which heavily focuses on relationships and the downsides of them. it depicts a complex dynamic between two individuals, with one asserting dominance and the other at their mercy. though they don't want to harm their lover, the narrator gains a sadistic pleasure from the other's reaction and gets a sense of empowerment from it. the phrase "i know you need to be someone, evil angel, or someone has to suffer" reflects that power dynamic, insinuating the other person much embody a deceptive person or endure suffering for their relationship to continue.
‘ # 013.⠀ ⠀THE SWEETNESS ──── written by oliver song, produced by chloe lee, and performed by oliver song. using the concept of sweetness and darkness, this song explores the contrast between moments of joy and happiness with moments of despair. the lyrics depict a journey from innocence to adulthood, where the speaker reflects on the past and longs to return to a simpler time. the sweetness is described as seeping into one's bloodstream, bringing a renewed love for life while darkness creeps in like an unwelcomed intruder, descending into the depths of the basement. the sweetness poses the question "are you still sane?", implying a struggle with mental health issues or the consequences of relying on such methods to find temporary relief.
‘ # 014.⠀ ⠀THRONE OF LIES ──── written by salem kuaekulsri and kang junyeong, produced by salem kuaekulsri, and performed by oliver song. throne of lies represents a sense of uncertainty and confusion as the song implores the listener to not just speak empty words of affection, but to go beyond and truly convey one's true desires and feelings. they used the pounding drums and brass horns of the seoul national university marching band to add to this sense of tension and chaos. on the plastic Flowers youtube channel, they even posted a 10-minute vlog that went from their first meeting to their performance at their comeback stage. the musicians all confirmed that working with plastic flowers was easy as the five members remained professional and were always happy to help understand the song further.
‘ # 015.⠀ ⠀I KNOW THE END ──── written, produced, and performed by salem kuaekulsri and lee jiyeon. at the end of the world, the narrator finds herself in a state of detachment and longing for the comfort of home, which she lost a long time ago. throughout the song, she reflects on past memories while acknowledging the inevitability of change and loss. as the song progresses, there is a sense of acceptance and embracing the unknown, symbolized by driving towards the sun and letting go of that fear. the haunting outro, featuring a long scream from jiyeon, suggests a sense of liberation and rebirth.

ERA SUMMARY.
★⠀⠀ ⁄ ⠀⠀MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS: 2,000,000 copies sold and The River won 17 times at the music shows. Are U Coming? also officially dethroned any record held by CNBLUE and Ft.Island as the top selling single by an idol band in South Korea.
★⠀⠀ ⁄ ⠀⠀This album was well received by fans and critics alike since they had spent the last few years complaining about "the old Plastic Flowers" being missing. Tower of Babel was the perfect combination of those beloved Oliver title tracks and b-sides that had gotten them their original fan base. Everyone has their opinions on Plastic Flowers' musical identity, but Tower of Babel will always be in their top five. It's just that album.
★⠀⠀ ⁄ ⠀⠀Critics rated the album four out of five stars. Though they were able to see some lyrical growth and new themes, many took issue with the album being composed of first drafts rather than finished songs. Many blamed Superbloom Media for this, however, as the band hasn't been given a proper break since their return from hiatus in May 2022. They praised Song and Kuaekulsri for their experiments when it comes to the new songs, however, they dismissed the other members as secondary songwriters. Han Jiyoon called the album "self-indulgent" and "fun", praising how the different arcs of the songs worked together to create a larger picture.
★⠀⠀ ⁄ ⠀⠀It was also noted by the members the album should be listened to in order of the original tracklist. Salem said, "putting the album in track order is always one of the hardest parts. For this album, we all agreed that the best way to listen to it was in order rather than shuffling around because of the different thematic arcs we composed. The beginning is very focused on that rougher and more rock and roll sound and mellows out at the end of I Know the End. It just makes the most sense."
★⠀⠀ ⁄ ⠀⠀When the track list dropped and fans saw they had brought in a bunch of guest producers and songwriters, everyone was torn, to put it nicely. Many Poppies have a complex about Plastic Flowers being completely self-produced for seven years and now, with their supposedly final release, they featured others? Call them Julius Caesar the way they felt back stabbed. Other fans were excited to see Plastic Flowers actually making friends and lowering the burden self-producing a studio album can take. Their main defense was that writing, producing, and promoting three studio albums in less than a year would destroy anyone so why not invite their friends to help out?
★⠀⠀ ⁄ ⠀⠀After Deep Dive's newest come back with Tax Writeoff, seeing Finn Lee in the credits for Tower of Babel was not surprising. Finn and lead singer Oliver were practically inseparable at this point and have been photographed inside their respective companies and even outside as well. In an Instagram live, a fan asked a question about working with Finn, to which Oliver replied: "It's always the best. He really understands whatever I can't put into words and where the music should go next. He's just great, I love being around him."
★⠀⠀ ⁄ ⠀⠀Salem stans were glad to see Hiro on the track list, knowing how close they are. In a live stream with Jiyeon, they reflected on how much fun it was having Hiro in the studio again and their misadventures with Roze as well. While reflecting on Bloom with Us!, Jiyeon said, "I know there's a lot of discourse surrounding having guest producers, but it made the album better. Having these fresh sets of eyes really helped navigate us forward and present the best album we could."
★⠀⠀ ⁄ ⠀⠀However, seeing the Chloe Lee of Venus on the producers list was a bit more surprising. In defense of Oliver, many Poppies had spoken ill of Chloe during Shooting Stars after she had called Oliver a "loser" on national television and seemed upset by his mere existence. In an interview with Elle Korea, Oliver laughed the whole thing off and reminded everyone about "evil editing" and that they'd gotten closer since Starzie's promotions for their debut album. "I mean, it's Chloe Lee," Oliver stated with a laugh, "I would be upset about losing as well. We've put that all aside, though. She was a really big help on The Sweetness and she got along well with the rest of the band. That's all you can really ask for sometimes."
★⠀⠀ ⁄ ⠀⠀In a suprise, it was Kang Junyeong who had the most to say about working with their label mate, Kwak Yulli of Belladonna. "I had never met her before this, but I can see why she's so popular. Great songwriter and even better singer, she's gonna go pretty far." He even likened her to bandmates Oliver Song and Serin. Yulli would repost the comment to her Instagram story with crying emojis and thanking Junyeong for his kind words.
★⠀⠀ ⁄ ⠀⠀The theories that fans were coming up for this album were actually insane but well proven by the lyrics and visual content. There were fan wars over any relationship pairing you could think of, especially with Oliver as many of his songs seemed to be about a new relationship rather than lamenting the past as usual. People looked into his recent interactions with other idols and his bandmates trying to figure out what was going on.
★⠀⠀ ⁄ ⠀⠀Speaking of shippers... The Salem & Oliver Truthers went insane over a report from Dispatch hinting at them maybe being together again. Their biggest piece of evidence was them being see shopping together in Gangnam. Not even a rumor about them being on a date and they had Twitter freaking out. Salem, however, shut this down pretty quickly with a comment while being interviewed on a variety show.
★⠀⠀ ⁄ ⠀⠀You either loved or hated the hair colors this era. While Salem, Junyeong and Serin all felt the love from their fans, they did not express the same feelings for Oliver and Deurim. Fans felt that their colors were playing it safe and should have also be a similar shade or just gone blonde like Salem had.
★⠀⠀ ⁄ ⠀⠀Plastic Flowers reminded everyone that they were singers first and a band second with their appearance on Dingo's Killing Voice. They sang Easier, Are U Coming?, Scared, The Chain, Death Valley's Take My Hand, Oliver's Youth, and b-sides Monster Among Men and Wishful Thinking. The video received over 2 million views within the first day.
★⠀⠀ ⁄ ⠀⠀This era was actually really good for the Found Family believers. There was very little fighting between the members and they all seemed to be at ease despite only one of them having a career past September. Even the hate train for Deurim seemed to be smaller than usual with the members talking about all the drafts and new music that she brought to the table.
★⠀⠀ ⁄ ⠀⠀The music video for EASIER was the talk of Twitter for days. The members were all featured on the accounts "kpop moments that could kill a sapphic" and "kpop moments that could kill achilleans" as they filmed in that cave. A self-described "Plastic Flowers anti" would go viral for asking "what business did Oliver Song have in that cave and acting like that" and honestly, they had a point! It's become a copypasta within the fandom now and is always featured in threads about Poppyville's best moments.

𓇼  °  ࣪.  𓂃   ̖́-       DEEPDIVE was established in 2014 under the infamous shit-storm of a company STORMEDIA as their first idol group with five members: Eunhye, Jaewoo, Han, Sol, and Jisung. After a year and a half of zero growth, line-up changes, and releases no one listened to twice, the group was bought by ANGELICO Entertainment in 2016 for a mere $15,000.
One month after being bought by Angelico, DeepDive went through a rebranding, turning from a five member line up to a seven member lineup. The new line up of DeepDive was found through Angelico's first survival show "THE NEW WAVE" which had brutal nine episode run through out the beginning of 2016. Only two of the original DeepDive members made it into the new final lineup. The new lineup debuted in late 2016 with the single "ENERGETIC" and a lineup consisting of: Han, Jisung, Blue, Noah, Woojin, Kiwoo, and Finn.
Even after this rebrand, DeepDive struggled to get their footing in the industry. Despite their music being well liked and concepts being praised, they would often go on long unannounced hiatuses and often suffered from mismanagement under Angelico. The group went through another lineup change in 2019 where Woojin was removed from the group, previously believed to have left the group on his own accord, and replaced with former Wanna One member, Jacob Lee. Despite this addition, the group continued to be mismanaged and mistreated by the company, stagnating their growth exponentially.
On their last leg, the group released their second full album SIREN'S SONG in 2020, blowing the group up overnight and saving their career. It's been revealed the album was originally a goodbye album as they were told if the album didn't do well, they would be dropped by Angelico. DeepDive became an overnight sensation, quickly climbing the ranks of the most well-known and respected boy groups in the 3rd and 4th generations.
In 2022, DeepDive had their contract acquired once again this time by Flowerbank Entertainment. Han, the eldest and original member of DeepDive, decided to not sign with Flowerbank and respectfully graduated from the group and the idol industry as a whole. His spot was filled by Woojin who was already signed as a model to Flowerbank Entertainment. The current line up of DeepDive consists of: Jisung, Jacob, Noah, Blue, Woojin, Kiwoo, and Finn. They are the most successful male act under Flowerbank Entertainment.

𓇼  °  ࣪.  𓂃   ̖́-       Hwang Jisung was born to a single mother in 1998 in Seoul, South Korea. His father, who only appeared in his life through monthly child support checks, was a high-profile politician who consistently tried to erase him and his mother from his life. Jisung's childhood though riddled with financial struggles was a happy one. His mother worked tirelessly to make sure he had everything he needed, supporting every dream he had even if some were outlandish.
Jisung was scouted by Stormedia in 2012 at a dance class he attended with a friend to be one of their first trainees. He accepted the offer and began training at just fourteen years old. He debuted at 16 in 2014 as the main vocalist of the group. Though DeepDive was no where near successful, Jisung was often talked about online for his visuals, becoming the most popular member, a title he's continued to keep through out the group's life.
While on The New Wave, Jisung was often seen as the voice of reason and big brother figure despite only being 18. Many of the viewers adored his empathy for his fellow contestants and his ability to capture everyone's attention while on stage. Despite the many attempts to evil edit him, Jisung finished the show in second place.
Jisung is currently the leader and main vocalist of DeepDive. Jisung has taken up acting and modeling throughout the years, becoming a household name in Korea due to his popularity and success in any endeavor he chooses to pursue.

𓇼  °  ࣪.  𓂃   ̖́-       Born to a pianist mother and dentist father in New York, New York on December 1st, 1997. Jacob's father left his mother when he was four years old, obtaining full custody of him and cutting off any contact he had to his biological mother. After this, Jacob's childhood was a rocky one, often acting out towards his siblings and new stepmom. While his stepmom tried to be gentle with him, she would grow frustrated with his outbursts and lock Jacob in his room for hours for a moment of peace. Because of this, Jacob grew into a loner who opted to be by himself instead of making friends.
Jacob left home in 2015 to begin training in Korea after auditioning for ANGELICO Entertainment. Soon after he began training, he was put on the survival show PRODUCE 101. While on produce, he grew in popularity due to his vocals, work ethic, and dry humor many seeing him as endearing and relatable. His popularity was also heightened by his sister, Chloe, being the runner-up of the previous season. Jacob finished his season of produce in fourth place, debuting in the final group Wanna One.
Jacob's run in Wanna One was a weird one. While popular, many fans believed he didn't fit into the group as he would often be seen off to the side and barely interacting with the members. Jacob has now come out to say that he doesn't remember his years in Wanna One as he would suffer from disassociation episodes and that it was one of the hardest times of his life.
Once his run in Wanna One was over, he was placed into DeepDive shortly after. The short amount of time between Wanna One's disbandment and Jacob being added to a new group upset his fans for various reasons. Some said he would work better as a soloist, some complained he was just waiting to leave Wanna One in the past, and others bringing up how DeepDive would only harm Jacob's growing career. Jacob joined the group as their main vocalist and lead dancer.
In recent times, Jacob has become an advocate for mental health, opening up about how often he struggled with his own. He's also become one of DeepDive's main song writer often writing songs for his group and many others throughout the industry.

𓇼  °  ࣪.  𓂃   ̖́-       Noah Tsui-Son professionally known as Noah Son was born in New Port Beach, California in 1999 to a Hong Kongnese mother and an absent Korean father. Noah's childhood was spent on the poverty line as his mother struggled to support both of them. His father later revealed to be the CEO of Angelioc Son Jinhwa, sent the pair only $500 a month in child support. By the time Noah was 12, under the advice of his mother, he had auditioned for Angelico Entertainment and made it in. Before this, Noah had very little interest in K-pop or music in general. In reality, this was a plan made by both Jinhwa and his mother to get Noah the basic necessities she couldn't provide for him.
Finding him naturally gifted at singing and dancing, Jinhwa took Noah into his company. He didn't reveal to Noah that he was his father until the boy was sixteen which happened to be the same time Noah would go onto compete on The New Wave. Noah was highly favored on the show, often getting praised by the mentors and given a favorable edit. He was liked by viewers for his humor and dedication to becoming an idol as well as his friendship with other trainee, Finn Lee. Noah would finish The New Wave in 5th place.
Debuting so young seemed to result in more problems than solutions for Noah, being seen as the weaker and more vulnerable member of the group he was often taken advantage of by the older people around him. Notably, he was groomed and abused by their now former manager whom he would start "dating" at just sixteen whilst she was in her 30's. This relationship would alter Noah's life permanently.
Despite being a victim to those around him, Noah's musical ability only grew stronger, especially his producing skills. Alongside Finn, Noah would go on to produce 85% of the group's discography as well as other popular songs of other artists. He has over 300 producing and composing credits to his name.

𓇼  °  ࣪.  𓂃   ̖́-       Kang Woobin was born in Busan, South Korea to a wealthy businessman and a stay-at-home mother on April 21st, 2000. Woobin's father wasn't around often, leaving him and his mother alone for the majority of his childhood. His mother, a woman half his father's age, would take Woobin to multiple acting auditions a week determined to make her son a star. Once he was too old to be the cute kid in the cereal commercials, she began making him audition for K-pop companies in the hope of him becoming a world-famous idol.
Woobin would begin training at just 13 and absolutely hated it. He was only there because his mother made him and he made it everyone else's problem. Woobin would often bully the other trainees around him, needing to drag someone down in order to feel big. In 2016, he would take on the stage name "Blue" and compete on The New Wave. On The New Wave, Blue would be highly favored and given a favorable edit. Many suspect this is because Blue's father's company is a major shareholder of Angelico. Either way, he ended up ranking 3rd in the finale.
Blue would only grow nastier with age. Many fans wondering why he hasn't left the group or been kicked out due to the endless sea of bullying accusations made his way. Blue's delusional fans keep him afloat, threatening anyone who tries to take him down and silencing anyone who speaks against him.
Blue is the most commercially successful soloist in DeepDive though he says he doesn't like being a soloist and rarely promotes as one.

𓇼  °  ࣪.  𓂃   ̖́-       Park Woojin was born in Ulsan, South Korean to two loving parents and four equally loving older sisters. Being the baby and only boy of the family, Woojin was highly doted on and adored while growing up. Woojin's childhood was unconventional by having such a full household but he says he never cried long as a child because there was always someone there to cheer him up.
Woojin began training after originally being scouted to be a model. Woojin had no interest in singing or dancing but decided to give it a try, thinking it would be something fun and new for him. He had the shortest training time of all the contestants on The New Wave only training 9 months before appearing on the show. Due to his lack of experience, Woojin often got singled out and picked on for his weaker skills. Despite this, Woojin managed to rank fourth place.
Through out his time in DeepDive, Woojin would be picked on by so called fans and deemed the "dozen" of the group. He was seen as just a pretty face which is how he got in the group in the first place. Behind the scenes were even worse for him as he was being groomed by their manager alongside Noah. Unlike Noah, Woojin would go onto report their manager for misconduct but the report fell on deaf ears. He's said that a week after he filed the report, he was removed from DeepDive and his contract with Angelico was terminated.
Devastated by his career ending so quickly, Woojin would disappear form the public eye for a year to reflect and heal from all he went through. A year later, he would sign under Flowerbank Entertainment as a model and influencer. He quickly became a popular model and streamer, telling all the details of what happened to him while he was in DeepDive and other stories of his life, gaining him a strong and dedicated fanbase.
Han, an original member of DeepDive, requested that Woojin fill his spot so the group stays somewhat close to the original lineup. At first, Woojin wasn't sure if he wanted to rejoin the group, fearing idol life would be unkind to him again but after much conversation with the other members Woojin agreed to rejoin the group. Woojin would rejoin the group in 2022 nearly three years after being removed.

𓇼  °  ࣪.  𓂃   ̖́-       Bae Kiwoo was born January 19th, 2000 in Seoul, South Korea to a quiet mother and father who he says he didn't talk to very much. He was raised in Busan with his older sister, Namjoo, who he said was his best friend. The pair were easy children but had separation issues when it came to one another. Kiwoo would throw fits when having to be separated to go to school while Namjoo would cry all day until she would see Kiwoo again.
Kiwoo only began training because his sister did. He's been said to have a naturally angelic voice and with training, he became one of the strongest Angelico trainees. Namjoo would be cut from the Angelico training program for falling behind but would go to train elsewhere telling her brother to stay with Angelico to not stunt him. Kiwoo would compete on The New Wave, becoming an instant favorite among kfans for his shyness and impressive vocals. He would end up ranking 6th in the finale.
After debuting in DeepDive, Kiwoo would go onto become a well known OST singer. At one point, Kiwoo's OSTs would be the only thing keeping DeepDive afloat. In 2019, Kiwoo would go on an extensive hiatus to deal with the sudden loss of his sister. Fans have said that there was a clear shift in Kiwoo after the loss of his sister. He became quieter and the light in his eyes dimmed.
Nowadays, Kiwoo is an integral member of DeepDive as he often records the group's demos as well as helps write the group's songs. Kiwoo often sits at the top of the OST charts, being one of the most sought-after artists for OSTs.

𓇼  °  ࣪.  𓂃   ̖́-       Finn Lee was born in Tampa, Florida on October 10th 2001 to two loving parents and three sisters. He's the second youngest child in the family and the only boy, having two older sisters and one younger sister. Both of his parents worked stable office jobs. His father was an accountant while his mother worked in cyber security.
Finn’s love for music was introduced to him through his sister’s love for dance. He would play songs for her on his toy keyboard and she would make dances to them. There are dozens of home videos of the two putting on “shows” for their family. Aubrie, Finn’s older sister, was the one to convince Finn to audition with her for ANGELICO Entertainment. She had more of an interest in KPOP and being an idol than her brother did, but didn’t want to audition alone. The pair passed the auditions and became official ANGELICO trainees, being only thirteen and twelve at the time.
Finn only trained for a year before appearing on The New Wave. He was the youngest on the show at just 14 but quickly became a fan favorite. There was much debate over Finn's popularity due to his age but he was very beloved by international and domestic fans alike. Finn, described as a musical genius, would go on to rank first in The New Wave, becoming the group's center.
He soon took over producing for the group, more than half of their discography can be credited to him.
Tragically, in 2018, Finn’s father was killed in a car crash on his way home from work. This resorted in Finn going on hiatus from DeepDive and returning to America to be with his family. DeeDive went with him to offer support and grieve the lost themselves. Alongside Finn, Noah, Han, and Jisung helped carry his father's coffin during the service.
Finn’s hiatus lasted 5 months, he’s later stated he almost withdrew from the group to take care of his mother and little sister but instead opted to go back to Korea and send his mother the little money he was making at the time. Upon his return to the group, Finn went on to produce the album that finally got the group off the group: Siren’s Song.
Finn is considered a musical genius by the general public, and a train wreck by his friends.
