FABULA MISSION 014

SCHEDULE TYPE: TRIMESTER ( PART 1 OUT OF 1 ) SCHEDULE RESTRICTIONS: cannot be paired with another trimester schedule, unless stated otherwise. for reference as to whether your muse is eligible for this event, please click over HERE.

the start of the new year meant that there would be a lot of exciting news in store for the girls, so when EUNSOOK and JOOHEE gather all of the FABULA members, it’s evident in EUNSOOK’s face that she’s excited for what she’s about to tell them.

“i’ve just finished my meeting with the higher-ups and it seems like the first half of the year will be a very busy year for us. but if everything goes as planned, the latter half of 2025 will be a rewarding time.” EUNSOOK smiled as she glances at her files to see what would be the first bit of news she wanted to share.

FABULA COMEBACK & PREPARATION FOR INTERNATIONAL DEBUT

“we’re well aware that FABULA had a comeback just a few months ago but the company has decided that we should start preparing for another already. JOOHEE will be giving you the lyric sheets but i will e-mail all of you the files so you can look through it in-depth. and the company thought of giving a small nod to our beautiful HAYOUNG by having the next comeback be on APRIL, specifically on APRIL 13.” EUNSOOK chuckled in amusement as she recalled hearing from one of the creative team members that APRIL 13 so happens to be the expected date of the full moon.

“i do have to point out that there is one song missing in the files that JOOHEE gave you. the reason for this is because the song is currently a work in progress and actually needs some input from a particular artist who will be featured in the song. some of you may have noticed in FABULA’s discography that we’ve had some legacy artists take part in the creative aspects of the songs especially the V&A members. so for this particular b-side, all of you will be meeting V&A’s LEE YUSHIN in the next few weeks to help record the song.”

the album list for this comeback is the following:

NOT LIKE YOU

BAD GIRLS R US

WHIPLASH ( TITLE TRACK )

RED LIGHT SIGN, BUT WE GO

2 RINGS

IGLOO

VAY ( FEATURING V&A’S LEE YUSHIN )

ON MY BIKE

TOUCH

the lyrics distributions can be found over HERE.

as EUNSOOK mentioned, sometime around FEBRUARY ( whenever schedule permits ), FABULA will be meeting with YUSHIN to record “VAY”. due to YUSHIN’s producing experience and his contribution to the song, he will be present during the recording to provide feedback and advice for the girls.

in addition to that, while FABULA will be releasing ‘TOUCH’ in the same APRIL comeback, that song will be re-released as a single later on in the year to coincide with their U.S. concert tour. when the single is released, the music video for ‘TOUCH’ will be released as well.

U.S. CONCERT TOUR & SPECIAL STAGES

“while we still have some time before the concert tour, we recommend all of you to practice on FABULA’s discography along with the versions that you’ve been working on for FABULA’s MUSIC BOX. we’ll finalize the set list for that in the upcoming months, but we do have an assignment for all of you. for three of our performances, we’ll be grouping all of you into pairs and each duo will give us some suggestions on songs that they would like to perform for the concert.”

the pairs will be arranged based on AGE, so for reference it would be as such:

PAIRING #1 - OH EUNHYE & SEO NINA

PAIRING #2 - MOON HAYOUNG & NOH AREUM

PAIRING #3 - CHA SORI & LEE MINJI

for this there are some rules to consider when suggesting the songs & pairing names:

all of the songs suggested must be either songs released in the lgc verse (eg. legacy artist songs) OR songs released BEFORE FEBRUARY 2023 irl.

songs don’t have to be strictly duets, but ideally for lyrics distribution, it would be best if the song was from an irl group consisting of 2-4 members ( or soloist ). also the songs chosen don’t have to necessarily match fabula’s concept, but it’s recommended to pick songs that would match well with the pair’s personalities/images. it’s optional as well to include the reasoning behind each song, but it does help with finalizing the chosen songs.

ic wise, the FABULA members will be working on the songs around MARCH when the coaches have decided on the song but ooc, admin a ( cloud ) will notify the members what songs were selected.

for the pairing names, you can base it off their names and/or commonalities they share! just know that it’ll be a public pairing name that will be used in the future and/or by the fans.

when you have chosen your THREE songs, please send all of the suggestions to admin a ( cloud ) before MARCH 8, 2024 11:59PM EST. if you have any questions related to this task, please message cloud about it!

WORKSHOPS & ASSIGNED TEAMS

“with the coaches watching all of the idols’ year end performances, the coaches have noticed improvements with all of the girls. many of you are already heading in the right trajectory, so most of their comments say to continue working on what you’ve been doing. however, with the comeback and concert tour happening in the upcoming months they want some of you to prepare for what is to come, especially SORI. like before, they are aware of your DANCING capabilities and congratulate you now for your improvement in terms of PERFORMANCE and ACTING. but with so much focus on those areas and not enough on SINGING and RAPPING to make a noticeable difference, they are concerned that while you’ll stand out when it’s your turn, the second you sing or rap, you might stand out in a not so good way. and i mean this in that the concert tour will be ALL live performances so the audience will want to hear your vocals. some of the fans have heard a bit of that last year with the university and waterbomb festivals, so we have to live up to those expectations.”

EUNSOOK looked at each of the FABULA members and explained, “balancing with all of the projects going on is lot of work, but luckily with the current members and their skill sets right now, some areas might not be as challenging as one might expect.” EUNSOOK turned to EUNHYE’s direction first as she continued on, “to help cover some of the work, we’ll be splitting the group into two teams; the entertainment team and the creative team. maybe over the next few months we’ll give better names to those teams, but this is the best way to explain it. anyways… EUNHYE, since you have quite a lot of experiences on this based on your time as a FABULA and LGC GIRLS member, you will be the leader of the ENTERTAINMENT team. the ENTERTAINMENT team will focus more on the U.S. concert’s speeches/ments and U.S. promotions. this means that while all or most of the FABULA members will be a part of it, this team will contribute more in that aspect. so this can range from them having to speak with the U.S. audience after certain performances to having more of a say in terms of what channels and segments you think would best suit FABULA’s international promotions. HAYOUNG will also be joining in your team since she has some experience in this field as well, especially when it comes to the newer forms of variety content. and the last member to join this team will be SORI, since we want you to get more comfortable and gain some experience in this field. good news is that you can learn from both EUNHYE and HAYOUNG, but don’t rely on them too much, okay?”

the manager then turned her body slightly towards the other three FABULA members. “NINA, AREUM, and MINJI will be in the CREATIVE team. your roles might not be as prominent now in the first few weeks, but it will be leading to the concert tour. while the ENTERTAINMENT team handles the ‘front side’ of the media, you three will be handling the ‘behind the scenes’ aspect. since MINJI has knowledge and experience with CHOREOGRAPHY while NINA is more skilled in terms of producing, it felt right to have AREUM in this team since she can do both of it! NINA will be the leader since she’ll have more responsibilities in the upcoming months, but it’ll still be a team effort from the three of you. once we get some details finalized, i’ll be sending in your assignments. but for now, do take this month to take some CREATIVE ( lyric composition, music composition, choreography ) workshops while you can! as for EUNHYE, HAYOUNG, and SORI, it is optional to take CREATIVE workshops to help with the other three, but in the case of HAYOUNG and SORI, both of you are busy so it might be difficult to attend them. on the other hand, EUNHYE, you can join them in the creative workshops if you want, seeing that the last comeback has captured your interest in this field.”

for NINA, AREUM, and MINJI, your tasks will be given sometime around MARCH or APRIL and will be a separate part of the FABULA MISSION. however, the one thing that is worth hinting is to review fabula’s discography carefully. ;)

LUNAR NEW YEAR GREETINGS

a couple of days before the LUNAR NEW YEAR ( JANUARY 29 ), all of the FABULA members will be dressed up in traditional clothing and record a lunar new year greeting for all of the fans which will be posted on FABULA’s youtube channel.

HANTEO MUSIC AWARDS

the last music awards show that the group will be attending for the season will be the HANTEO MUSIC AWARDS, which will be happening on FEBRUARY 15-16. FABULA will be attending the awards show on FEBRUARY 15 and will be receiving one award ( POST GENERATION AWARD ). they will be performing “OOTD” and “ICE QUEEN” for that show as well.

BIRTHDAY LIVESTREAM

during this term, there will be a birthday livestream for AREUM ( JANUARY 15 ). for AREUM, she will be eligible to do OPEN EVENT 009 ( BIRTHDAY LIVESTREAM ).

FABULA ANNIVERSARY

“last year FABULA was busy so we weren’t able to have a fanmeeting to celebrate the group’s anniversary. however, this year we were lucky to prepare a fanmeeting for the korean fabelles. this will be happening on FEBRUARY 22, which so happens to be the day of the anniversary. there will be two fanmeetings for this, one in the afternoon and one at night. both of the events will have the same set list, so i hope none of you have forgotten some of the songs you’ve been performing for the year end ceremonies!”

before the fanmeeting, the FABULA members will be asked to help create a “welcoming gift set” that will be placed underneath each of the fans’ seats. the set will consist of photocards ( individual and group ), fabula logo button/pin, and one item that can be made by the member themselves ( eg. food, drink, snack, coupons to brands they model for, etc. think of gifts that idol groups would give during isac )

and in no particular order, here are the list of songs that FABULA will be performing for the fanmeeting:

ANTIFRAGILE

BADDIE

BBB

COOL

HOW YOU LIKE THAT

HYPNOSIS

ICE QUEEN

LUCID DREAM

OOTD

WOULD YOU RUN ( FABULA VER. )

since this is a FANMEETING, there will be more talk and game segments for the FABULA members to interact with the audience. prior to the fanmeeting, fans will submit questions in a form of post-its regarding the idol’s time in fabula, any interesting stories they’ve experienced ( either through past/public events or just simple day to day interactions with other members ), and member superlatives/who is most likely to ( eg. “who is most likely to give the best advice”, “who is most likely to have read the most books”, “who has the best fashion sense”, “who is most likely to win in arm wrestling”, etc. you can be creative with the question/superlative! ) there will also be a dance challenge game where they will be given various dance challenges to try and do on the spot.

at the end of the fanmeeting, there will be a photo op and hi-touch event for a few of the lucky winners ( as a reminder, the interactions with the fans during this time are very short )!

Build Up Episode 6 Recap Part 3: Team Mismatch v. Team Maknae

Welcome back to the recap series that follows ALL the rabbit holes: BPR Unnie recaps MNET’s Build Up! In the previous post, we saw a team with not great teamwork lose to a team that had not great rhythm. In tonight’s scintillating tale, we’re going to see a team of maknae (youngest members of the show) take on a team that includes people of all different ages. We’re going to lose one of the teams, and it’s going to be sad no matter what, so… let’s face the music. 

Dahee calls the next two teams up on stage. It’s Team Mismatch versus Team Maknae. (These are my names for the teams, but you have to admit, they’re good names.)

Team Mismatch:

Left to right: Geonu, Seohyung, Soomin

In the previous round, Geonu and Soomin performed Don’t Forget and came in 7th place; new recruit Kim Seohyung performed I Don’t Love You with Hong Seongjun of BDC, and lost to Geonu and Soomin. Hong Seongjun was eliminated, unfortunately. 

You might remember Geonu as the one who used to have light pink hair. He’s on Just B with Bain. You might remember Chicago’s own Soomin as the one who sang “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You” in the vocal check in. And you might remember Kim Seohyung as just being a kind of lovable weirdo with a surprisingly deep voice and a sort of stiff, formal manner despite his relatively young age.

Left to right: Yeonwoo, Yunseo, Joohee

In the previous round, Ji Yeonwoo and Jeong Yunseo performed The Little Prince and came in 8th place; new recruit Park Joohee performed performed The Moon with Kwon Euibin, and lost. Euibin was eliminated, unfortunately. 

You may remember Yeonwoo as the one who forgot the words to a Mamamoo song in front of Solar even though he’s from her agency. He certainly remembers, I’m sure. You may remember Joohee as the one who cried at the end of his song in the 2x2 mission and couldn’t sing. Meanwhile, Driver Yunseo is the hero of the maknae team, determined and confident no matter what. 

Seeing the two teams onstage, the guys in the green room say the two teams look like villains and “a traffic light.” The judges think that Joohee looks like he’s wearing his dad’s clothes -- I think it’s his loose white pants that give that impression. He also looks terrified.

Team Maknae introduces themselves as “The Youngest Musicians�� and do some anime poses. It’s cyooo! 

Soomin from the other team immediately pipes up to point out that he’s the same age as the guys in Team Maknae. 

The judges ask Joohee how he’s doing, and he says he has decided to be cooler this time. Well, I hope so. 

Then Team Mismatch introduces themselves as “Taco Trio”  because they ate Mexican food whenever they practiced and each had different favorite dishes -- tacos, quesadillas, and burritos. “Just like we like various dishes,” Seohyung says, “we want to show our diverse charms on stage.”

Dahee encourages the teams to smack talk, and they do, and it’s whatever.

We head into the flashback, picking up with the moment when Yunseo and Yeonwoo recruited Joohee. Joohee was really happy to be on a team with his fellow maknae (youngest) and is looking for a song that will go with their image. 

They’ve decided on Nakka by Akmu.  

If you don’t know Akmu, they’re a brother-sister duo with undeniable talent signed to YG. They’re not really idols; brother Chankhyuk writes their songs and sings on them, and sister Suhyun might have the single most beautiful voice in all of pop, both kpop and western pop. They’re super popular in Korea, and are called things like “The Nation’s Siblings.” They’re also my fella’s favorite Korean-based musical act by a wide margin. He full on just listens to Akmu. 

If you want to get to know them a bit, you can check out Suhyun’s solo song Alien, which is probably her most “idol”-like moment. I already mentioned her performance in Hopeless Romantic in the previous post. And then from Akmu themselves there’s always Dinosaur. 

Anyway, I actually hadn’t heard Nakka before but it’s great. A collab with IU? Of course I’m on board. It seems to be about taking a leap of faith when you’re in a good relationship….? I’ll let you be the judge. Joohee says that the song represents closing your eyes and sort of letting go and being courageous.

Driver Yunseo says that he thought the song might be a bit monotonous without some form of performance/dance, so they decide to add some movement. They want to provoke feelings, so they… wear sunglasses? Ok. 

They’re rehearsing in a room at Mystic Story, which is Jeong Yunseo’s agency. (Mystic Story is home to Lucy, a boy band, and Billlie, a girl group.) They talk a bit about how they have a chingoo on the opposing team. And again, the subtitles translate “chingoo” as friend, so in the subtitles they’re saying things like “We can’t lose to a friend!” But of course, as you know, chingoo *can* mean friend but it also can mean “someone the same age.” Ok, cool, we’re good.

They’re at some sort of interim evaluation and see their rivals, so they decide to visit them and see… I don’t know, what they’re up to?

Geonu is up to wearing that hat, so, that’s good. 

Driver Yunseo asks, “Is there anything you guys can do better than us?” And I mean, what did he think they’d say back to that? Geonu, reasonably, says, “What do YOU think? I mean, honestly, I do everything well.” It’s so odd -- did Yunseo think the other team would be like, “Actually, we’re bad singers, so you should win”? Soomin says, “In a way, everyone on our team has debuted. We’re pros, and you’re amateurs.” I don’t know if that’s entirely accurate, but I guess it’s true that Seohyung has performed on stage, and I guess Soomin put out a single or something, so, sure. Anyway this whole scene makes me really uncomfortable and I’m glad when it’s over!

It’s performance day. Team Maknae turns their backs to the judges then turns back around wearing sunglasses. 

This isn’t as random as it might seem; when Akmu performed this song live on Sketchbook, they wore sunglasses too. I think they’re trying to look

The performance begins. 

Full version without reactions.

My thoughts:

Aww, I really liked this. I think all three of them have great voices and they sound great together. 

Left to right: Yeowoo, Yunseo, Joohee

I think Yeonwoo might hold his eyes open like that to make them look bigger, but it just makes him look scared. I don’t think he actually was scared, though. He sounded great. 

It’s funny, I don’t have as much to say about this performance as I do about performances I like less. They all have similar voices; all three have good breath control, no nasality, and an lovely natural vocal color. When they did that bit where they sort of echoed each other back and forth, it almost sounded like the same person singing over and over. 

Joohee’s voice is my favorite of the three. It’s just the cleanest and prettiest, in my opinion. I think this is the best I’ve heard him sing this whole time. 

Yeonwoo might be the weakest of the three but that’s a compliment to them, not an insult to him. He seems slightly uncomfortable on higher notes -- it’s an issue with agility, I think. He can hit them straight on, but having to hit them suddenly on a run is harder for him. Still, he’s a great singer. 

Yunseo’s voice has the most texture, which adds a bit of interest to the trio. He also had that lovely long note with amazing dynamic control (ie, he controls his volume).

I loved the close harmony and almost-acappela moment toward the end. Nice work!

I’m not sure I *loved* the whole stylized, robotic movement thing they did, but it was cute and funny enough. They were doing a thing and it was a way to add interest without using up the breath they needed to sing. 

I do worry that maybe the song wasn’t the best choice, just because it didn’t have the emotional resonance or engagement that some of the other songs have had….? But maybe that will work in their favor, helping them stand out in a group of serious, ponderous songs. Regardless, I’m cheering for them to win. I enjoyed this a lot. 

In the MNET edit, the judges are laughing during their super serious “bada badas,” but then Joohee starts to sing and Eunkwang loses his SHIT.

Every time the guys do the badabums in their action poses, everyone laughs -- but when they actually sing, everyone is like, “but they can really sing!” 

We see Eunkwang the most, but it seems like everyone’s having a great time. 

Dahee loves it too!

The judges applaud without hesitation when the guys are done, and all theother  guys backstage cheer. 

Wendy tells Joohee that when he started to sing at the beginning, she thought they were just playing the pre-recorded song. Fair -- that kid obviously ate the CD for breakfast. Eunkwang adds to the praise, saying that Joohee was like an uncut gemstone that has now become polished. 

Eunkwang also praises the teamwork and staging, saying that it made everything fun and light. 

Guest Judge Guy -- whose name I never remember so I’ll just have to call him Guest Judge Guy and you’ll just have to make your peace with that -- says, “You were so charming that I thought, ‘I could even become a fan if it’s a team like this.’” Me too, GJG! Me too! 

That’s about all the feedback we hear, and then it’s time for Team Mismatch!

Everyone’s interested to see what the “bad guys” are going to do. 

The judges wonder about this combination -- Seohyung seems to be an odd choice to add to the duo of Soomin and Geonu. They had had to choose among Seohyung, Joohee, Gwangseok, and Woong, and I’m not sure if there’s anyone they’d prefer to that.. I think Soomin didn’t want to work with Joohee -- he seems to look down on the young trainees, kind of like, I don’t know, like he’s too good to work with them? I don’t mean to be so negative about Soomin but I’ve been open about how he rubs me the wrong way, so at least I’m not pretending I’m totally objective here.. I also think Soomin wouldn’t have wanted to work with Woong -- the two of them worked together on Ditto and I didn’t sense much camaraderie on the team. I think Gwangseok’s voice wouldn’t mesh well at all with Soomin and Geonu’s lighter tones. So it kind of had to be Seohyung. And a bass voice could add a lot of interest to any team, right?

The judges ask Seohyung how he feels about singing the song the team is going to sing, and he says cheerfully that he’s never sung in this genre before, but that since the song is called Joker, he’s going to be a Joker in this performance. Love that! Imagine, just saying to your teammates, “Ok, I haven’t done this genre before, but I’m ready to try.”  IMAGINE THAT!

We head into the flashback and see Geonu and Soomin entering the Small Room of Serious Decisions, muttering to themselves, “I hope he’s still there!” And quite to everyone’s surprise, they seem to be enthusiastically interested in Kim Seohyung.

I had assumed that they’d chosen via process of elimination -- that they didn’t want a trainee like Joohee, a low tier like Woong, or a strong, uncontrolled voice like Gwangseok’s. But nope, seems like they really wanted Seohyung, or at least are doing a good job of pretending that they did. Good for them either way. 

Seohyung is like, “I can’t believe the ‘Chicago baby’ wants me!” (He says “Chicago baby” in English -- pretty funny.) When he runs into them in the hall, Geonu says in Korean, “We chose you!” and Seohyung replies in good-sounding English, “Seriously?!?” 

We get a little flashback montage showing how high energy Geonu and Soomin are, and how calm and polite Seohyung is. I think my favorite is him bumping into a door and then saying thank you to it. Also we’re reminded that he likes to watch car documentaries. WHAT ARE CAR DOCUMENTARIES???

(The Korean letters phonetically spell out the English words “Welcome, my bro.” Also: s w e a t e r spotting)

The guys meet up to plan and rehearse, and Geonu and Soomin reveal that they already had a song in mind: Joker by Big Naughty. 

Ok, Big Naughty is the guy who sang Hopeless Romantic, which we’ve talked about a few times -- the song that guest starred the female half of Akmu (who sang Nakka). Big Naughty’s song Joker features Jamie, formerly known as Jimin Park, who you might know for being a host/personality on a lot of Korean shows, or for her song 3D Woman or maybe April Fools (two awesome songs). She finally got out of JYP’s basement and she’s out and about now!

Joker seems to be about that tension between wanting to have a sincere, genuine relationship with someone, where you let down your guard, and wanting to protect your heart and keep things light. It has a light, sort of jazzy sound that reminds me a lot of And July by Heize and Dean.

So yeah, Soomin and Geonu tell Seohyung about the song they’ve picked, and he says he’s never heard it. Of course he hasn’t. It’s not a car documentary. Geonu explains that he thinks this will help all of them by letting them show something new but also use their talents. 

Seohyung interviews, “I contemplated the situation momentarily. Truly, singing a ballad would be easier, but if I were to do so, how would improvement be possible?” See, that’s my guy. He tells the duo that he’s ready to try it -- “use me as a joker,” he says. Soomin challenges him to try smack talk, and he says, in English:  “....… Babies! …. We… we go to the next round!” That’s about all he can do, but it’s great.

Then they decide they have to make a handshake and help Seohyung develop a “vibe.” I think they’re having fun and getting to be friends. It’s cute. 

Cutting back to performance day, the judges are like, I can’t imagine Seohyung singing this song. I can’t either, but that’s mainly because Nakka by Akmu is so firmly stuck in my head that I can’t remember how any other songs go until/unless I listen to another one. 

The performance begins. 

Full version without reactions.

My thoughts:

Overall, really great, mainly because of Soomin and Seohyung.

I wish that Soomin had been entranced by Woong or Bain instead of Geonu, who I think has one of the weakest voices on the show. I really don’t want to feel that way, since Geonu and Bain are in the same group and I want that group to be successful, but I can’t help how I feel --  that Geonu is vastly outshined by nearly every other vocalist on this show. His voice is very nasal, he’s often a bit off key, his high notes are strained and shrill sounding, and he lacks breath support on longer notes. He also is awkward in his movements, the way he kind of jerks around as if he’s semi-dancing. 

Geonu’s deficiencies are highlighted by how lovely and sweet Soomin’s voice is. He also has a nice spoken tone that gives warmth to his rapping. I don’t have much to say about Soomin’s performance because it was just sort of universally good. 

Seohyung surprised me, and I bet he surprised the judges, with how well he did here.  I’m calling it now -- they’re going to do an instant replay of his little growl at the 1:35 mark. His high notes sounded supported, and his deep notes were really satisfying.

I’m a bit on the fence about the arrangement and staging.  I love the idea of giving Seohyung the majority of Jamie’s lines, and having him sing them down an octave, so you have a bass coming in instead of an alto. Fun idea. But it did mean that Seohyung hung back for the first third of a three minute performance. I guess we’ll see what the judges think of that. I also wish there’d been more harmonies -- there are only maybe 10-15 seconds total where they’re singing in 3-part harmony. I would have liked to hear more. 

If I had to guess, I would assume the judges will give this round to Soomin’s team, if for no other reason than I’ve noticed that Korean judges tend to just sort of prefer awarding wins to older people. It’s a weird sort of age discrimination, where they are indulgent to young people, but also habitually prefer older people. I’m not convinced that Soomin’s team actually did better, though. 

In a fight between Soomin and Joohee, I’d say it’s a dead heat. 

In a fight between Yunseo and Seohyung, also, a dead heat. 

In a fight between Yeonwoo and Geonu, I choose Yeonwoo, no question. 

Judging based on team synergy and harmonies, I’d choose the maknae’s team. 

So yeah, I’d give the win to the maknae, but I still think the judges are going to give it to Soomin’s team. Let’s see what happens…. 

In the MNET edit, naturally, we get a lot of reactions to Soomin’s first few notes. And of course, when Seohyung starts to sing, the judges are delighted too. 

Ah, I was wrong, there’s no instant replay of Seohyung’s growl, but we do see Wendy make this face:

.. and we do get an instant replay of his lines “... so let’s just play the game.” Checks out. 

After Geonu says “take a little nap,” he does this weird little dance and makes weird faces and it’s very like, IDK, your cousin dancing at a party when he’s high on shrooms and no one wants to tell him no music is playing. You know? Very that. 

Baekho’s face speaks for all of us, I think:

When they’re done, of course everyone applauds.

Everyone is happy for Seohyung for trying something new and basically nailing it. 

Best pals Jay and Wumuti do their best Seohyung deep-voice impression:

It’s obviously very affectionate.

Dahee asks the judges what they thought. Jaehwan says that he got on his feet almost immediately for this performance. He says to all three, “your free, sexy, and fatal charms mesmerized me today,” then calls out Soomin for his excellent intro notes.

VCG praises the group’s teamwork and harmony, and then reminds Seohyung that he (VCG) had told Seohyung to change not his voice, but his expression and manner. And Seohyung did really well at doing just that. Also, his bass voice added a lot to a team with a high tenor like Geonu. 

Guest Judge Guy praises Seohyung for tackling a new genre. Yeah!

Baekho tries his best to tell Geonu to stop dancing like a dorky weirdo. He says, “Geonu, I think you have everything you need -- but the image you’re trying to portray kind of ruined the performance in general.” We’re reminded that Geonu did the same kind of thing in the other two performances. Baekho says that if Geonu could just tone that down, he could win a lot of fans. Is anyone going to mention his pitchiness or nasality or lack of vocal agility….? Just me…? Ok…

So, it’s time to get both teams up on stage to find out their fate.

The judges vote. Wendy notes that she might feel different if she’d heard the song in the opposite order. Not fair, then. Maybe watch a playback of both or something. 

The results are revealed…

Red is Soomin’s team, and blue is Team Maknae. Only Eunkwang voted for Team Maknae, so Soomin’s team wins. 

Dahee asks the winners to say a few words, and Geonu basically says he feels bad about the fact that the losing team is being eliminated, but promises to keep up the good work. Driver Yunseo says they performed with no regrets and enjoyed working together, and hopes to meet everyone again in the future.

They walk off stage together, and it looks as if Yunseo and Yeonwoo are both comforting Joohee. Aww.  Backstage, they say they’re a little sad that it’s over, but they aren’t crying. I think they were pretty much expecting to lose. Aww. 

Well, I really want to see all of them again in the future, and I think we will. Yunseo is signed to Mystic Story and Yeonwoo is signed to RBW -- both good agencies. I don’t know where Joohee is signed, or if he’s signed at all. However, things often shuffle around after shows like this, and it wouldn’t surprise me if Kim Minseo from Bain’s team ends up debuting with some or all of Team Maknae here in the next year or two. Team Maknae, fighting!

Soomin’s team has a group hug backstage and vows to stick it out to the end. 

And that brings us to the end of the round, and the end of this post! Thanks as always for being a friend! I'll see you in the next one.

FABULA MISSION 012

SCHEDULE TYPE: TRIMESTER ( PART 1 OUT OF 1 ) SCHEDULE RESTRICTIONS: cannot be paired with another trimester schedule, unless stated otherwise. for reference as to whether your muse is eligible for this event, please click over HERE.

a few months had passed since FABULA had their comeback and PARK EUNSOOK and SHIM JOOHEE sit down with the FABULA members for a meeting on their upcoming schedules.

FABULA PHOTOBOOK UPDATES

the photobook titled “fabula’s journey to thailand”, will be released on SEPTEMBER 3, this will also include videos of the paired interviews.

on FABULA’s youtube channel, there will be vlogs released on the channel, which is scheduled as follows:

SEPTEMBER 26: arriving at patthaya city

OCTOBER 3: behind the scenes photoshoot ( part 1 )

OCTOBER 10: behind the scenes photoshoot ( part 2 )

OCTOBER 17: private tour ( part 1; visiting landmarks )

OCTOBER 24: private tour ( part 2; cooking class )

OCTOBER 31: private tour ( part 3; meeting elephants )

FABULA COMEBACK & FEEDBACK

“i know we’ve had a comeback recently, but with all of the gigs and activities that everyone will be participating in, we’ve decided that FABULA will be working on their next comeback, which is scheduled for OCTOBER 17. for the long-time FABULA fans, they may notice that this comeback is one day before the one year anniversary of ‘TOMBOY’, so it’s safe to say that this will be a special comeback for them.” EUNSOOK explained, smiling proudly at the FABULA members.

turning towards EUNHYE, EUNSOOK continued on, “and what a great way to make it even more special by letting the leader have her own solo. since it’s still in the works, you will be spending some time with the creative team deciding on your solo based on the demos and make your own contributions to this song. however, based on the coaches comments and suggestions, we do have a particular request for you to fulfill with this song. since it is a solo song, we want you to spend more time focusing on your vocals. some of them are aware that singing is something that you aren’t quite as confident at so they believe that this will be a great challenge for you to undertake during this time.”

looking at some of the members, EUNSOOK commented, “NINA, HAYOUNG, AREUM, and MINJI, keep up with the work. the coaches were quite pleased with your performances during the ‘BADDIE’ and ‘BBB’ promotions and would like you to keep continuing what you’ve been working on.” EUNSOOK then turned towards SORI and gave her feedback, “the coaches have noticed that you have made some improvements since our last meeting, which is good news to hear. now they’ve suggested to try to still keep working on your PERFORMANCE and ACTING, but also your vocals as well, which means either SINGING or RAPPING. it’s up to you to decide which one you feel comfortable working on but make sure to balance the skills mentioned to help maintain the cohesiveness of the group in terms of performances.”

for EUNHYE’s solo, it will be revealed in AUGUST that the chosen song will be ‘CROWN ON MY HEAD’. it’s up to the muse and mun what creative skill(s) to work on during this time, but as mentioned earlier, EUNHYE is expected to put AT LEAST 20 POINTS IN SINGING and 10 POINTS IN ANY CREATIVE SKILLS [ MUSIC COMPOSITION, LYRIC COMPOSITION, CHOREOGRAPHY, AND/OR INSTRUMENTS ] ( can be obtained from other events/activity check points ) before SEPTEMBER 28, 2024. ‘CROWN ON MY HEAD’ will also be released as a pre-release single before the comeback to garner some attention.

and for the most awaited part, here is the tracklist for the OCTOBER comeback:

+82

DEMIGOD

CROWN ON MY HEAD ( EUNHYE SOLO )

OOTD ( TITLE TRACK )

ICE QUEEN

the lyrics distributions document for this can be found over HERE.

KCON LA x HELLO82

since FABULA will be one of the guests ( plus V&A ) attending KCON LA, there will be a collaboration between KCON LA and HELLO82. for FABULA, they will be participating in a surprise flash mob at venice beach, california where dance groups will be doing a public dance performance of some of the KCON LA artists’ songs. FABULA will be hiding in a bus watching one of the dance groups dance to ‘BADDIE’. midway through the performance, FABULA will appear as a surprise and dance ‘BADDIE’ with the fans.

then after ‘BADDIE’, FABULA will perform ‘BBB’ for the fans and have a short photo op moment with them before parting ways. then on JULY 27, FABULA will have a segment with the fans at the venue called ‘QUEST PARADE’, where each fan will ask one question to the FABULA member next to them in a relay style. FABULA will have about 15 minutes to answer as many fan questions as possible, but the trick is that they’ll have to answer all of them in ENGLISH!

FABULA will also be performing later on in the day ( JULY 27 ).

LINE FRIENDS RENEWAL

due to the campaign’s success, MINJI, HAYOUNG, and EUNHYE’s contracts with LINE FRIENDS will be extended until the end of the year ( end of Q4 2024 ).

TRUE RELIGION ( RED DIAMOND ) CAMPAIGN

EUNSOOK tells them of the next exciting announcement, “we’ve been approached by TRUE RELIGION for a short-term campaign that all of the members will be a part of. since the campaign for TRUE RELIGION will start a few days before your comeback, we’ve decided to incorporate a part of FABULA’s comeback with this campaign.”

sometime around AUGUST, FABULA will flying to YOKOHAMA, JAPAN for TRUE RELIGION’s photoshoot and cf filming. during this time, the girls will also be asked to take photos that would be used as photocards and signing film books, which will be given to a handful of lucky fans who purchase items from the red diamond collection. once that is done, each of the members will be filming lookbook inspired videos, where they will create their OOTD for their assigned day of the week using the TRUE RELIGION’s clothes and their wardrobe. the videos for that will be released sometime around OCTOBER-NOVEMBER.

EXACTLY! Thats what ive been saying about it. Basically hes saying every girl they debut is gonna do something bad so why try. Bighit used to have a coed group as well 8ight and he let the female singer go after Glam and not giving her any songs/tv shows for almost 5 years(her name is Joohee shes making great v gay music now as an independent artist) & now that bts is big bangsh thinks every new boygroup he makes is gonna do the same like oooook

omg i heard about 8eight but i didnt know they were coed?? also idk her but imma check out her music!. but look idk anon… like bottom line is..idk why bighit hates women gfdxhgfchgfc and i get maybe not wanting to debut a female group rn but they even go to the extent of not wanting female trainees ???….weird lol
