Debut or Die Idol Inc 4th Stage costume concepts

machine translation:

Text description: Clothes that reveal the characteristics of modern and contemporary combat uniforms (bulletproof vests, harnesses, etc.) - If it sticks to the body as a whole, the silhouette becomes similar to the second competition, so it can be done as if only part of it is attached. Basically, it would be a techwear combat suit, 1) It should give a difference in solar image, and 2) Since the stage description is a bright and light game concept, it would be better to avoid heavy all-black design Conclusion: While taking the combat uniform concept, we aimed to differentiate it with kitschy accessories and bright colors.

Debut or Die Idol Inc 2nd stage costume concept Team Hero's Anthem "Blazing Like the Sun" by Sun Island

There's a small text description so I put it through mtl here:

The description in the main text is a black jumpsuit, but I think the visual effect will stand out because details can be seen in a dark room and the reflection is dramatic in the color. / Basically, it is an image close to a covering suit *Moondae's chocker and Sejin's clothes are transparent pvc There is a description that the jumpsuit reflects blue-violet light, but it seems like the color of the reflected light can be changed depending on the screen effect. Since it is a hero concept, each time, it flows in a natural direction to suit each person's theme color.

Episode 58-60 Behind the Scenes

There were candidates for the bear on Big/Keun Sejin's whiteboard. When I put it together it seems like traces of Sejin's worries

(candidates)

(final bear drawing)

(IM USING THE PANEL FROM TAPAS BY THE WAY)

2. The Alien Moondae on the left is from the storyboard. As I soon saw the storyboard, I felt overwhelming despair from the talent so I tried my best to replicate it through drawing (on the right)

3. This episode left an impression on me when I read the original, so I had a lot of trouble with Moondae's psychological portrayal. As with every important episode, each stage of writing and editing was engraved in my mind, so when I closed my eyes before going to bed, I would replay the manuscript in my head from the first cut. I would like to thank the PD and assistant writers once again… I also remember having many discussions with Jang Jin. The same goes for directing the title, how and to what extent Moondae's facial expressions are shown, how to reveal emotions in parts where facial expressions are not shown… etc… Personally, I put a lot of effort into the effects of the flashback cuts.

4. The gummy snack that Ahyeon brought is the same ones that he had in episode 16. It seems like he chose that one since Moondae liked those the most among the snacks shared so far

(gummy snack) ep 59 and 16

5. Just like Sejin’s last post, Jangjin writes down the entire text in the chat room, even the parts that aren’t used. Every time I received a confirmation, I was surprised by how realistic it was…

6. There are many other things I paid attention to, and I worked hard to include them in the manuscript, so I hope they were conveyed to readers as well~~! happy new year Please enjoy the next episode as well!

<Jangjin review of episodes 58-60 which is going to be a bit long an serious>

I feel like I've climbed a big mountain.. As always, but especially for this episode, I received a lot of help from Soheun in setting the tone. When working under limited time with lots of details, there were parts that I missed, but Soheun looked at them with the reader's eyes and caught them again. In the process, there were times when the interpretation was completely different and I had to redraw them or discuss one or two minor scenes for a long time. It must not have been easy for the animator to carefully look over the storyboard with a lot of work and limited time. It wasn't easy for me either, reading the original and adapting it, to shake off the first image that was stuck in my mind, understand the collaborator's interpretation, and find my rhythm again. That's how much we both thought this episode was important and wanted to convey the emotions the original gave us. I enjoyed this process a lot. I have often used the phrase ‘The beauty of collaboration’

The process of thinking about where to show as a mirror that reflects a good original work was truly the fun of collaboration. From the beginning, the episode was planned to be contained in 2.2 parts, and while the previous episode was finished in a quick pace, this time we utilized a lot of POV, flashbacks, narration, cuts, close-ups, etc. to capture Moondae's psychological state. For visual effects, we utilized lighting, shadows, effects, etc., and Soheon took extra care in lighting and flashback effects.

Let me introduce two parts that I discussed with So-Heon to maximize the visual effects…

1. Flashback scenes

The two flashback scenes in episode 59, the scene where he recalls the performances he has done and the meetings with fans, I wanted to give the feeling that everything was shattered like a dream at night with the sound of a fist being struck.

In the case of Moondae recalling his fans in the same episode, Soheun had the opinion that it would be nice to feel like all kinds of affection and support towards oneself are passing through one's hands like grains of sand or smoke. So, the images were corrected to give the overall impression of waving.

2. Expression of the 'Original Park Moondae'

This is also expressed in the original work, but the suspicion about Moondae, the original owner of the body, grows, and Park Moondae (Ryu Gunwoo) distrusts him, and the misunderstanding is raised again through the explanatory note. I don't know how you will feel, but as I continued to read that part, my sympathy for Moondae grew a lot. Even if he had originally planned to drop out, I wondered what school was like for Moondae, who had to leave school without being able to completely explain the unpleasant incident, and who had no adults who could stand by his side. While thinking about the same thing, I ultimately decided to direct with the idea that this is the kind of previous Moondae that Moondae currently has. It is also an image that I came up with while thinking about the development of the novel, so it will also bring various feelings to readers who read the novel.

I wanted to wake up. I think it's because I've been working with this mindset since the storyboard, but when Soheun's drawings and directing were added, I felt a bit touched. It was a scene that I had prepared and nervously for since the beginning of the webtoon, so I think I spent the next three weeks feeling anxious and nervous until the end….ㅠㅠ After we've overcome a big hurdle… We'll run to another big hurdle. I ask for your support until the end, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the holiday…!

Debut or Die chapter 23 behind the scenes

Soheun

It was impressive that the hologram in the beginning symbolized malicious commenters who used a specific person's profile picture... but my heart ached while drawing it, but working on the second half healed my torn heart. There were many cuts that I enjoyed making.

When I first showed the sketch to JangJin after drawing young Eugene, “How about adding fabric to the elbows of Eugene’s top? It’s not a clothing design, and if it were Eugene, I think it would have been really torn and added over.” and gave me an idea. I drew it while imagining the story, and it was so cute!

Jangjin

There were 2 canidates for Moondae’s past in Yeonju’s imagination scene. I asked Soheun to work on whatever cut they wanted.

I suggested that the farmhouse-like pattern be used as if it were a drawing of a character card, but that was cut (..)

Also, there was a ppl cut from this episode that was cut due to length issues, so I'm attaching it here instead!

Debut or Die episode 52 behind the scenes

There's a massive spoilers for manhwa readers (mentioned on the first page) so I'll make the spoilers on page 2 red so you can scroll past it if you like

Soheun Episode 52 Behind the Scenes> Episodes 51 and 52 featured a lot of new characters. Those who have read the novel will find it new, and those who are reading the webtoon for the first time will probably have guessed various things. I received the appearance and information about these friends in advance around the start of webtoon episode 10, but it was left unused for a long time… The character design itself has been decided for a while, but I am finally able to show it to you. I hope you enjoyed watching it.

The first appearance of Chaeyul in the webtoon was Jang Jin’s idea. “Chaeyul is a center member of VTIC, so I think the public over there will mainly recognize VTIC through Chaeyul’s image. How about showing Chaeyul first so that they can see the public’s views over there as well?” There it is. I thought it was really fun and a good idea, so Chaeyul was the first member of VTIC to appear in episode 28. There is a lot of content that could be a big spoiler after this, but there are names and other information that have not yet appeared in the webtoon, so if you don't want to, please skip to the behind-the-scenes page and read it.

2. Below is some of the information about VTIC that I previously received from Deoksu. I'm sharing it with permission :D *

Chaeyul - Depending on the concept, the tribes are already divided into desert foxes and arctic foxes. When the concept was intense, it was given the additional nickname of desert fox, and when it was inactive and its cheeks were slightly puffy, it gave it the additional nickname of arctic fox because it made it look lovely and happy.

Judan - He has a neat appearance, but he has a mole around his mouth like a point. Currently have auburn hair.

Shinoh- The costumes are the most exposed.

Cheongryeo - Bihan, Shinoh, Chaeyul - Judan there is a one year gap between them.

I have to say this now... So, the profile picture of Chaeyulmanul (social media) that appeared in the webtoon was a desert fox.

I've also written about other behind-the-scenes details, but I've tried to keep them short to avoid spoilers and not spoil the experience.

The next episode is with the Azusa contestants again. I look forward to! XD

After Chaeyul's first appearance, Cheongnyeo with completely contrasting color and temperature appeared, showing the charm of the group called VTIC, and further showing that the real power is the leader, Cheongyreo. These days, individual fandoms are becoming stronger among idols, and the method of creating unity through members rather than world views seems a bit classic. However, VTIC is a group with experience, so I wanted to create the dignity that comes out of this classical music.

I'm going to upload the cuts I liked from here....

After passing the big mountain casting call, there are still bigger mountains left… Azusa is also in its final stages…! I'll do my best to work on it. Please be careful of catching a cold this cold winter and I hope everyone stays healthy.

This one explains which VTIC member is who

Jangjin Episode 57 Behind the Scenes >

As soon as I received the storyboard for the shower, Soheun asked, ‘Is this a service cut?’ and I remember saying, ‘This cut could be a service cut or just a regular cut, depending on what Soheun did…

2. Ahyeon and Moondae eating walnut snack. I thought of walnut bread at a rest stop (probably most people didn't think that way, right?) Soheun drew it with hip lemon walnut bread because it's MZ Ahyeon(?). While working on it, I ordered a box of lemon walnut bread and ate it...

*MZ is the term used to describe Millennials and Gen Z

Debut or Die episode 35 behind the scenes

mtl below

Soheun Episode 35

In this episode, the glitter effect in Raebin's part, and the subtitles for Hyung-ah's smile in Chungwoo's part… I remember JangJin writing on the storyboard, 'Reference: Azusa's strangely unsophisticated and king-making direction.'

I really enjoyed drawing images of medieval rabbits. As I continue to draw and design handsome and pretty girls while writing the manuscript, I think there is a behind-the-scenes story about this cut whenever there is a cut that can make such a mistake... (I happily drew octopus cut in the same vein.)

The scene where Moondae, Raebin, and Eugene appear in the episode's "I was worried at first," and Moondae leans against the wall before recalling the hero keyword in the episode 29. The pleasure of watching the same scene from a different angle... Did you notice it!

Sometimes, there are scenes where the image doesn't appear on social media like the "RaebMoonCha"* Stock Certification" account, and according to Jangjin, "I monitored it with Wi-Fi that doesn't work." I think it was the same for the living room and the convenience store scene.

*랩뭉차 = the name combination for Raebin, Moondae, and Eugene

Jangjin Episode 35

The monitoring (with beer) scene in this episode was my own interpretation of a question I had while reading the same scene in the original. In the original, thinking things like 'I'll straight away make up the bedding and 'I can do the monitoring tomorrow'' got me drunk and I got a little bothered by this and that, so I quickly finished the day in my head and went to sleep, so I reflected on it. What do you think? And, to some extent, he looks red when drinking in a cartoonish way, but I think he drinks better than he looks. I also looked younger than my original body. Anyway, I would like to express my overwhelming gratitude to Soheun who brings out my soft and subtle appearance so well!!

In the case of the 'Stock Certification' event page photo, when working on the SNS image in the previous manuscript, Moondae shared with Soheun that the image would not appear well because there was not a lot of cell phone data… as it was a house he had purchased in a hurry. I decided that it was worth it if it wasn't the basic option of a studio… This time, I actively reflected it in the storyboard.

I feel safe having to change locations a couple of times in one episode. This seems to be the case. This time, in the original, it was set at one time. A convenience store scene was added in the middle of the flowing narration to create a sense of movement. I heard that the problem is that if you enter a place that doesn't exist, I thought about various things to maintain a similar tone to the original work. Listening to it took a lot of energy. Then what if sometimes I go further than the original, so I start again. It seems that there are many cases where it goes back to… Anyway, What I wanted to say to Soheun when drawing the convenience store scene was, 'Know the level of recognition. Will Moondae, who is struggling, actually eat a lunch box inside a convenience store? 'What?' 'Is there a microwave oven at Park Moondae's place?' ‘What should I eat? That's right. My conscience does not allow me to feed triangle kimbap again. is.' Etc… The memory of being a question villain in many ways fills my head. It just passes by. The second team match ended well and the reactions were good. As a means of self-congratulation (the writer's affection for eating well) I think I bought a rather tasty lunch box this time.

Continuing from number 3, strangely enough, we put a lot of thought into choosing a location. This time, even in the case of Ahyeon and Keunse's (Big Sejin) meal, we had to decide whether the three of us would have a light lunch, a regular meal, or go to a restaurant close to the studio. I remember thinking about it for a long time. Brunch cafe, Baekban restaurant, pork cutlet restaurant, salad cafe, etc… After writing about it, I feel like they secretly consider space to be important. (It's a past story, but I remember thinking a lot about Ahyeon's house as well, considering several candidates.) Every time, there's something strange. I am always grateful to our webtoon team teachers who give serious thought to every detail and do not hesitate to edit the background…

As Chungwoo and Raebin in this episode are participants whose team battles did not go smoothly in the previous contest, we tried to create an atmosphere in which they were quite satisfied with this team battle. I thought about what it would be like if Soheun also had those feelings. Although it was exaggerated by editing, I hope that Chungwoo fans can feel from the screen that Chungwoo looks quite satisfied!

Debut or Die Idol Inc 3rd stage costume concept Team Moon Rabbits "I Like Waiting" by Maximite

Why is nobody talking about the fact that Kim Raebin (in cannon) designed all of these outfits for team moon rabbit??? He's a talented genius

help i like how gold 1/ ha iljoon is (physically) the oldest in the group but the shortest

what the text description says through machine translation:

The durumagi flutters around the body, revealing the adoption letter inside, men's jeogori designed like a shirt when the dress blazer is taken off, the head that swept over the wooden rabbit mask)/The child describes that the concert costume of the The same song has become more colorful since the moon turned slightly clumsy and covered the temple, so it would be better to go with a more elegant feel (silver embroidery, limited accessories)

Debut or Die chapter 22 behind the scenes

Soheun

JangJin sometimes writes down notes that can add to the feel of the storyboard, and these comments were also included in this reaction video!

Review by a foreign general YouTuber (lots of tattoos, messy house in the back...) We showed Azusa's <To a New World> performance to a current ballerina who doesn't know Kpop! <Same video feel (studio shooting) It feels like a K-pop fan bringing family or friends to review... (2 women) I think it's a background show file.

In this episode, it was fun to try out editorial design for YouTube and other sites. I feel a different pleasure every time I work on a design that is not aimed at making things pretty and neat, but rather to bring out realism.

From the time I saw the storyboard, I was strongly impressed by the last part of episode 22, and it hit me hard while I was writing it. There is a message that becomes stronger when expressed visually. It was an episode that made me think a lot about this and that.

JangJin

When I sent the storyboard for episode 22 and Soheun's drawing came, I was so excited to see Sohyun's life-size cutout with the sign 'Sohyun's drama coming soon' attached. POP☆CON is Marshmallow’s orginal song and since it is an idol that appears on the first competition stage, we created a detailed setting even for parts that did not appear in the main episode, and we gave it a lot. It was the best setting that showed that the four members continue to interact and remain close even as time passes.

Moondae’s meals still inevitably consist mainly of convenience store and instant food, but I feel fortunate that Soheun always portrays the inside in a meaningful way. It's best to eat well.

I’m really happy that Soheun worked with me on this episode! I think I've thought about it a lot. In particular, overseas kpop reaction videos are some of my favorite content, so I hoped that these features would be well captured, but I was grateful that they included more than that (even when I was busy with just drawing!)

Starting with the episode 22, reactions to the Internet will gradually change. Finding faults in small things, and specific accusations against individuals will begin. It is fun to write and create reactions on the Internet, but such negative reactions seem to be stressful for the working side as well. However, that's how much affection, silly comments, and support you get for the participants. I will try to include a lot of supportive responses from the participants. ♡

Just in time for Halloween! I would like to release the storyboard version of the highlight scene of . The overall story of New World was based on the original work, and was a story about a vampire pretending to be a human being who tricks a target, and then other vampires attack the target and hunt them down. :) The storyboard is very rough, right? I'm just grateful that you save it with fresh drawings every time.

[moondaeznuts]

Debut or Die episode 21 behind the scenes

Soheun

The scene where Ahyeon drops the chicken... I remember Jang Jin emphasizing in the storyboard that 'the chicken is as good as birdseed.’

When there are a lot of subtitles on the show or a lot of group shots, it's cumbersome to work on, but I'm proud to see the finished product. The dance practice scene was also fun to draw because there were many parts that showed the character.

In the case of plain clothes, various changes are made to suit the personality and background based on the setting plan. Heeseung picked the clothes, thinking that there would be a gap between the character and the plain clothes style.

JangJin

The snack that Sejin A is eating is one of the snacks that Iljoon and Heeseung bought for the team members to eat.

The broadcast production cuts have nuances and distortions from the actual footage. It also appears in the main story, but the scene of Moondae waving his hands is attached to a high-profile interview. Examples include the scene where Ahyeon is nervous and her cheeks are cooled to show her embarrassment, and the scene where Moondae says the team's chemistry was good, with the naunce of liking Marshmallow.

Find out the struggles of Sejin A, who fell into choreography hell alone during team practice.

The cool patch that Iljun applied in the second half was originally an acne patch, but it was changed after Soheun commented, ‘Isn’t the cool patch cuter?’ But the scarf pattern...?

After Moondae went below the sofa, Big Sejin completely lay down and got up again to make fun of Tibetan Moondae. Please stay tuned as we are working diligently on the next episode.

[moondaeznuts]

Debut or Die chapter 20 behind the scenes

I don't think Moondae has been taken many clothes since he woke up at the motel. So, there are times when he change the combination of his previous clothes and wear them again.

For plain clothes at the end of episode 20, pants - early in episode 2, pants/hood zip-up in the karaoke scene, turtleneck - episode 2, clothes when coming out of the salon / shirt - episode 15-16, shirt under knitwear It's a new combination of these clothes. For reference, the knit worn during the chicken feet mukbang was the same as in episode 16, but some details were added while drawing it.

2. In this episode, the flower effect kept floating next to Ahyeon, so I was debating whether or not to clean it with JangJin, but I decided to include it because it seemed like it would have been a happy time for Ahyeon.

3. In the case of the dog with chicken feet, it was described in the original work as “a large black country dog ​​that looks unfair because its fur is pushed out,” but as I tried to draw it by creating a corner that resembles a crest, there are parts that are different from the original description. Still, I tried to make the most of what I thought were key points.

4. After seeing the storyboard and being shocked... I also made Mint Chocolate samgyupsal (pork belly) under the T1 Food label. (Probably discontinued soon.)

Debut or Die chapter 18 behind the scenes

This is a draft of the Idol Inc practice uniforms that have been released so far. They are a sweatshirt type, a gym uniform type, and a cropped long-sleeved type, respectively, the cropped long-sleeved type is drawn slightly longer than the draft. However, (Keun/Big) Sejin B, who is tall, still feels short, and some of his trainees may have received practice uniforms that were one size larger due to their length.

The image of Heeseung and Ahyeon being swept away was not originally an official cut, but a doodle drawn by Jang Jin in the corner of the storyboard. It was so cute that I secretly added it to the manuscript while I was working on the drawing...
