#pre-debut era

[exilology]

"ECLIPSE" is the pre-debut project by Y/N – known more popularly as EXILE HER – in order to introduce her to the k-pop scene. the project began in JANUARY 2017 and would continue until FEBRUARY 2018. the project was created by KWON GYEONG, who had personally hand-picked y/n for this project.

gyeong stated in an interview that she, "...watched y/n perform and compete on PRODUCE 101, and i immediately knew that she was the perfect face for this project that i had been working on." y/n was already gaining some fame after placing 14th in the survival show, and gyeong was quick to recruit y/n to KQ from her original company SOURCE MUSIC. by the end of 2016, y/n would begin training at kq entertainment after leaving source music.

along with gyeong, the producer team EDENARY would also help with the eclipse project when it came to producing and composing music. the project would be split up into four different parts with each part being divided by a four colors: RED, WHITE, BLACK, and YELLOW.

on FEBRUARY 11, 2018, a full album was released the contained all the songs from the projects into one including six other new songs. the album was simply titled ECLIPSE. a music video was released for the song MY NEVERLAND as well which helped tie up the story. the music video ended with a morse code which fans deciphered as "exile her." this would later be revealed to be y/n's stage name once she debuted.

Absolutely begging you to write the Hob/Dream cheeseburgers and vengeance story

Back when I was doing Spotify Wrapped Prompts (remember those???) I made a list of what I would do for each of them before answering the actual asks (ie following the assignment before proceeding to not follow it at all). I am banned (by myself) from continuing them until Seventies San Francisco AU is done, since it was a Spotify Wrapped prompt before it was a 20K+ WIP, from an anon who has brought a curse upon my house (affectionate). BUT one of them, to finally arrive at the point, was Romance Dawn by Radkey:

canon verse between meetings, hob is a union organizer, hob is in the punk scene, hob is setting fires or putting them out, hob is at shows, hob is getting in fights, and the fierceness of it all transmits to his feelings for his stranger, and then one day he sees him, thinks it’s a dream (is it a dream?), he kisses him, tastes blood, something is wrong, wakes with vague memories, goes running back and back again, until he gets it out of him, where are you, fawney rig. and it’s maybe a fishbowl destruction fic. and like. london punk/hardcore scene & thatcherism & trade union strikes. burning down fawney rig. sort of green room energy but holy war against the burgesses. smashing it. saving dream. not even i. we. we will salt the fucking earth here.

Anyways, I think the cheeseburgers and vengeance would fit in great with that and Hob and his punk family deserve that experience.

Han Jisung on the verge of snapping because someone was getting too close to you and he's a possessive man.

He doesn't have those guns for decoration.

"MySpace is an awesome new thing. It's an online website where people can really connect with artists. Every night, I really try to keep tabs on my MySpace and see people who are leaving me comments. Typically, I get about six hundred emails a day. I read all the guest book entries, I want to be a part of these people's lives. I think it's important to keep that personal contact. That's the most fun thing for me is to hear what people think and all the different stories of people - the first time they heard the song and how it affected them. I just love all that, I'm so consumed by it... I read all of them, but it's hard to answer every single one. But I try really hard."

GOBLIN is the final pre-debut project by KQ trainee, Y/N, also known as KQ Gal. the pre-debut single was released on APRIL 2, 2018 on YOUTUBE. the song was written by y/n herself and was produced with the help of producer team, EDENARY. the song received a music video which is currently the only place you can listen to the song. many IXLUVS have been begging for a re-release of the song, but nothing has come from it yet.

a week after the release of Goblin, KQ Entertainment announced that y/n would be making her official debut in early JUNE. this left fans excited since they have been waiting for her debut since y/n's appearance on PRODUCE 101.

KWON GYEONG, creative director at KQ, revealed that the story the music video told was "just the beginning of the lore for KQ Gal."

– ERA NOTES.

y/n helped direct the music video which was filmed in about seven hours in LA where she had been training at the time.

a theory linked to the music video is that y/n is experiencing a time loop instead of breaking out of it, she is choosing to relive the same day until she meets 'the dark presence' at the end of the music video which is when she accepts the chance to leave the time loop.

many IXLUVS believe that the person at the end of the music video who extends his hand out to y/n is HONGJOONG, who was also a trainee at the time of filming.

y/n trended on twitter after the release of the music video and song with many praising her vocals and acting.

y/n also did a few street performances in LA, SEOUL, and BUSAN with this song and it’s notably the only time she has performed the song.

– STYLING.
