idol project masterpost~

these are all my weekly challenges for sangah in one post! i did it this way bc i wanted to wait until the end so i could see what ~everyone~ did a craft a narrative if i get less points or something idc (honestly give me 0 lol im doing this so wrong) i just wanted to get this out there for character development!!!

episode one

sangah was excited at the song choice for their audition. with her and yihwa both being sent, it meant there was at least two power vocalists on the show, and she was relieved and grateful that at least she would get to show off too. yihwa was better than her, no doubt, but she was still good. and she got to show that. she just had to get over her nerves-- those would be her undoing.

and those nerves showed up. while she got praised, and eventually made A grade, she knew she fell back. mirae and yihwa were both so magnetic, and she hadn’t done her best, so she looked like the star students’ tag along little sister. 

but she made A. and she’d make sure she was more focused and grounded before her next performance.

episode two

though part of her wanted to be the team a leader, yihwa was far more confident than she was. it made more sense that everyone voted for her, logically. she was rife with insecurity. but it still kind of stung-- even if she knew she wasn’t really in the running.

the challenge was absolutely absurd, but at least she was in a team with mire-- there was some comfort there. and with yihwa being in another group, that meant that a lot of the vocals went to sangah, and she was more than happy to try to show up the week prior. though once mirae and taeri started going at it, her cynicism spiked.

the huge break for the scandal was a blessing. sangah practiced all the songs, getting confident with them, and even ran them with mirae. she was certain they’d do very well. when the show comes back and its time for performances, she feels prepared

the first song they got was pirate king, and that’s one of sangah’s weaker ones, as she is not the most talented dancer-- she can do it, but she struggles. but with a lot of the attention on mirae as the center, sangah limped her way to the end, where the final vocals to finish off the song really give her her moment to shine.

their next song is love me right-- easier choreography, but still harder than sangah was comfortable with. she had practiced hard, though, so she felt like she had the hang of it, and love me right just suited her so much better than pirate king. not to mention she felt like she had more opportunities to show off vocally.

their last song is i am the best, which has the easiest choreography, and is the most iconic in sangah’s opinion. she really stretched out haena’s vocals to show off. just so she could finish the right way.

episode three

much like mirae and yihwa, sangah isn’t at all thrilled with their song choice for the disbanded group challenge. she loved deviant, but they barely had one power vocal, let alone enough room for both yihwa and sangah. she tries to stay positive though, and sees it as an opportunity to get her stage presence down, and to work as part of a unit.

when they perform, sangah is admittedly a little put off by yihwa improvising adlibs-- they hadn’t practiced it, and sangah had no opportunity to do her own. but it was a competition. yihwa was just looking out for herself. sangah couldn’t be too upset at that.

episode four

she was excited for the skill evaluation. singing, without the dance, was what she was most confident in. and she’d been criminally underperforming in the ranks-- her labelmates were leagues ahead of her. it was embarrassing. she hoped that showing what she could really do would get some people on her side.

sangah is overjoyed to be working with jinkyung-- she grew up listening to majesty with her mom, and even sang some majesty songs at church as a kid. and with thet leaving to go debut at her actual company, it meant more opportunity for the rest of them to show off.

when it comes time to perform, sangah was on the top of her game. she pushed her voice to its limit, and she showed all she could do. she did her harmonies well. and though they weren’t best of the week, they were close-- closer than sangah had ever gotten before on the show.

episode five

when she saw how far she’d shot up in the rankings, she burst into tears. she had gone from being on the verge of elimination to cracking the top ten. her talent was paying off, and she felt so blessed that people were noticing. and just in time to get original group songs.

she’s confident in the team A group-- Hyosang is a genuis producers, and she’s worked with both yihwa and mirae countless times before. however, she didn’t know minsuk or inho that well at all, and she’d never even heard of nemo. that song scared her. she was prepared for the worst there.

volume up was a dream. yihwa and sangah were both on a song that suited them and was made for their skill, and mirae got to be the sassy confident center to tie it all together. she did her best with angel, and sounded okay, but it wasn’t the best song. she and the boys tried to have fun with it onstage, but sangah knows that if she’s going to be saved from being cut, it will be because of volume up.

episode six

when she sees she’s actually made the cut again, and moved into top four territory, sangah sobs. she’ll regret crying so hard on camera, but it meant the world to her that people were taking a chance on her. and now she was going to have her own solo song because of it.

she chooses to not have much choreography on her song-- a little bit, so she’s not standing still, but she wanted her vocals to be the real focus of the piece. she’s sure it’ll be nothing compared to what yihwa pulls out, but she wants to give it her full try. especially since her vocals in the group song aren’t anything to really phone home about.

the concert is exhausting-- there’s so much that can go so wrong. but by the end, she feels like she’s done everythign she can.

“i feel the same way,” sangah replied with a smile. “i don’t get to do a ton-- just here and there, and then they’re treated like trainee evaluations. but hearing those completed songs with the idol voices is so cool.... and i like knowing that i was part of the process.”

“it’s so cool hearing songs come out that i did the topline and demo for,” seulki said with a grin, scrolling through the new releases on her phone. “like… i know how the song is going to go, but i get to discover it through someone else’s voice and hear how they put their spin on it. i feel like i make coloring books, and now i get to see how people interpret the lines.”

“i’m more curious that your sister doesn’t even listen to you-- what an unsupportive sibling,” sangah teased.

“Dude, I wish I saw the all-kill actually happen! I had to read about it happening third-hand from my little sister who doesn’t even listen to us. And when I went to go look myself the spot was taken,” Duckie said.  “I almost feel like she’s just pulling my leg or something, it’s so unreal.”

“when you debuted solo, i was surprised a group debut came after,” sangah admitted. “i’m glad it did, but you just seemed like the complete package on your own. i think it would be a waste to not revisit that.”

“i think i’m ready to start working on solo work,” sookie admitted, scrubbing her face in her hands. she’d had a solo debut in rejectz’s early days, but nothing for about three years since. “i’ve put so much of my focus into my group, and i think i’ve gotten us to a really good place. is it selfish of me to want to start working on something for myself now?”

“you would think you, as the expert musician, would have some sort of veto power,” sangah commented. she’d done some topline demo work for teams taehyung was on before, and even she could see just how talented he really was. “but i guess those songs do end up being popular, so what do any of us know?”

“you know, sometimes my job is a real fucking pain in the ass,” taehyung grumbled, scrubbing his face with his hands. “with all the new vocal trends these days, i’m forced to add so many filters and shit when i’m mixing, and it sounds disgusting more times than not. but it’s my job to comply so i can’t even do anything about it.”
