congrats on surviving episode four of next gen! updated rankings can be found here.
for participating in the auditions and appearing in the second episode of NEXT GEN, all wannabes who submitted their participation may collect points as outlined on this spreadsheet. points were awarded based on the writing requirements submitted and the optional extra threads. no verification is required; you may link back to this post on your spreadsheets.
for the next episode of NEXT GEN, all participants will be divided into two teams going head to head in a series of games and sports competitions. there will be no eliminations, however the winning team gets bragging rights over the other.
the games that will be played are the following (in order):

NOTE: participation in the high jump is optional and each team can send out as many (or as few) contestants for these events as they like. four members of each team must represent the entire team for the 4 x 50 meter relay race; the rest will sit out or become cheerleaders for their teammates. all participants must take part in dodgeball and name tag unless medically excused.
BONUS: as the contestants prepare for the finale, they’re each asked to write a letter to a loved one, a friend, or even themselves. this letter could include thanks for supporting them during this competition, discussing the highs and lows of the various episodes, any turning points in the competition, etc. these letters will be read aloud by the contestants privately in the interview room.
FOR THE FINALE:
the three “original” songs that will be performed at the finale are as follows:
realize
hug
tales of the unusual
while canonically the audience and viewers of next gen will be voting for which contestants they want to see perform each song, we will decide it by each participant sending us their top two songs they’d like their muse to perform. we’ll do our best to honor these preferences and create balanced teams for the finale. please send the form below to the events blog no later than friday, april 14th. the final teams will be announced after the next episode.
as part of the finale, the remaining contestants will all perform my turn in front of the live audience again before each team performs their original song.
SUBMISSION TITLE: MUSE NAME - NEXT GEN ORIGINAL SONG VOTE
1: the first best song you’d like your muse to perform
2: the second best song you’d like your muse to perform
TASK:
canonically, the contestants will be practicing my turn and would have received their song assignments earlier in the week. however, for writing tasks, we will be focusing on the games and sports day event.
this event is for next gen participants only. part 5 will run until april 14 at 11:59pm. any solos posted after the deadline will not be considered. please send in your submission before this deadline.
please use the hashtag #BE:NGS1P5 for all posts relating to this part of the event.

please write a 200+ word solo either in the form of a letter or of your muse reading their letter to the cameras.
OPTIONAL: please write a 200+ word solo about your muse reflecting on the sports day. this should be treated as a verbal interview. what game was the most fun? what part of today was most relaxing/reinvigorating as they head toward the finale? are they worried about the finale? etc. questions can be made up to prompt responses to specific events throughout practice and the performances.
NOTE THAT THE WRITING TASKS FOR THIS EVENT ARE NOT OPTIONAL UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED. POINTS WILL BE AWARDED IN THE NEXT UPDATE.
please keep in mind that all threads and solos should be written with the assumption that cameras are on the participants at all times.

you stumble across the flyer almost completely by accident, but it’s also everywhere and sort of hard to miss. you might’ve seen it stapled to a telephone pole during your commute, pinned to a community board at your favorite coffee shop, or even as an ad online. it’s the same everywhere, in big, bright red letters:
FREE!
songwriting & composition workshop at korea national university of arts (KNUA).
one week only. participation is limited.
the department of music would like to invite you to our songwriting and composition workshop. this intensive, weeklong course, hosted by KNUA’s own department of music composition faculty, will go over the basics of industry standard software, music theory, lyric writing, composition, and more. at the end of the session, participants will have created their own song and have the chance to record a demo.
this class takes place monday through saturday, 4:30pm-10:30pm.
did that say free? you simply can’t resist the opportunity! when else will you have an opportunity to study with industry professionals at one of the best known arts universities in the country? even if you never thought about writing a song in your life, this seems like the perfect opportunity to give it a try.
however, you quickly realize that participating in this class will be taking up a significant amount of time. time that could have been spent practicing other skills. they may get a bit rusty while they’re not being used, but it’s only a week. it’s nothing that you can’t easily build back up in the future.
you register for the class just in time. a confirmation email is sent to you, welcoming you to the program and letting you know to arrive early at 4:00 monday for a brief introduction before the class finally begins.
an opportunity that ara cannot resist has come up... one that requires her to really see how unrealistic her schedule has become. something has to give. because its at the time of signing up for this course that it’s purely set what ara desires: to focus on this new ebb in her life and that might include leaving her old life behind. she’s going to resign from the dance school. clearly, it’s impossible to juggle all three: training, school, and a part time job. something had to give. but at least ara was sure of what she preferred to do now.
and at the workshop, its eye opening. previously, composition and producing was something that felt way out of sight for ara. she’d never considered herself a natural with the production side of things, feeling that it’d be easier to be given something. the passion was there, but she didn’t feel the natural drive or talent for it, but this could surely jump start it. sometimes, all we need is a push in the right direction. after all, she loved the idea of performing, and being a trainee - what better than to eventually perform a song that she participated in writing? the sky is the limit.
monday was already exciting enough, getting to dabble in the barebones of the basics. she’s a bit stiff, but getting used to it. hey, she’s a quick learner. getting used to the software is one thing, but she heads home in the evening, with her heart full and ready for another full evening for the remainder of the week.
OOC:
thank you for redeeming your chance token! your muse now has 2 chance tokens remaining.
please post this prompt (even without a response) within a week of receiving it. the point changes from the prompt must be applied to your points sheet even if you do not write a response.
INSTRUCTIONS:
respond to this prompt with a solo of any length about your muse’s experience at the songwriting workshop. note that wannabe does not currently track any official “song claims” for songs written by muses, but you are more than welcome to use existing music as inspiration and comparison as long as the song is not by one of our canon artists.
no form is necessary to submit to the points verification blog, but please publish this submission and link to this post on your points sheet.
please tag this post and your solo (if posted separately) with #be:takeachance.
POINTS RECEIVED:
+5 COMPOSITION
POINTS LOST:
note that skills points cannot go below zero; if you have less than 2 points in any category, please set it to 0.
-2 DANCE
-2 RAP
-2 SINGING

STAR ⏤ FMDVERIFICATION
date: may 20th, 2018 / september 15th, 2018 about: after yet another bad night, duri begins to write a song. but, the only thing that he can really get out is a few lines of the chorus; his usual spot not bringing him much inspiration on that certain night. months later, duri finally finishes the song after he opens up to leo about what happened when he was five after he witnesses duri having a ptsd episode. he decides to dedicate the song to those that have really gotten him through things, as he talks about in the song. mentions: uncle minho, aunt taekjo, his grandparents, mari (his cousin), jinsol + hanui (two best friends), @fmdjaewon, @fmdlyra, @fmdchanwoo, @fmdsooyeon, @fmdleo, @fmdminki trigger warnings: ptsd, car accident mention, parental death mention word count: 2,679. (this is minus the dates + mentioned lyrics)
May 20th, 2018.
It was happening again; the nightmare that he couldn’t get out of. It felt so real, it felt like it was happening all over again, like he was his five-year-old self. But, it was, again like always, done in a much different way. He could never remember how the car crash occurred, what happened during it. But, he could feel the emotions of being horrified before everything went dark again. That was his body’s cue to awake him after experiencing the horrible tragedy of the car crash once again. He shot up from the bed, heavy breathing leaving his mouth as his chest moved up and down. His eyes looked around in a quick pace, trying to come to terms with where he was, that it wasn’t real; not even noticing that there was streaks of wet running down his cheeks. It was something that he had grown accustomed to; he shouldn’t have to, but he did. He hated everything about it, he wanted it to stop. He wanted to be able to sleep tight at night, but that seemed to be something that he would never get.
After finally coming to his senses, knowing where he was. He had grabbed a light jacket and his notebook off his desk, before leaving the bedroom. He couldn’t be in the apartment any longer. It felt like the walls of the two floor apartment was closing in on him, he needed the fresh spring air. After making his way to the front door, he slipped the jacket over his torso, before slipping shoes on his feet. Earphones went in and he was down the stairs. It wouldn’t take long until he was his spot; that one spot that would comfort him when he was done, the spot that would give him inspiration when he needed it. The swing set in a park not fall from Knight’s dorm. It was quiet, but not completely quiet due to the cars that would still roam the street at night. It was the perfect spot to just look up at the stars; one of his favorite things to do.
He would sit there for at least half an hour, eyes just staring off into the distance. He could deep breathes, something that he had picked up to calm him down from the anxiety and panic that was racing through his veins. But, it was soon waring off as he was talking himself through it, trying to relax as he sat upon the swing. It seemed to be working and his focus was elsewhere. Like, how beautiful the stars looked upon that spring night. There were two that sparkled the most, which made Duri smile a small, soft smile, “Hi mom and dad,” he says, voice hushed. “I’m okay, I promise,” he uttered after. The soft smile still present against his face. They probably knew that he wasn’t okay; but, he was just what Duri always said. Because to be frank, he wasn’t okay at all, he was just pretending to be because he didn’t want others to worry. That was always the issue with Duri, worrying about others over himself.
Then it hit him, some form of inspiration. The stars were always there for him the most, especially when he needed to get things out. It helped his creative process, but tonight it didn’t seem to be doing so much. He wanted to something that was completely from the heart, that had really helped him to get out how he was feeling. But, it seemed like there wasn’t much coming to Duri. There was a sigh as he tapped the pen against his notebook, his eyes just looking around. He was thinking trying to find some form of inspiration. What did he want to get out with this song? He had written a few things, before crossing them out completely. It would happen a few times, being blocked out by what he wanted to say. There would be new words on the page, before he’d be crossing those out once again. He’d take in a deep breath, starting his thinking process over once again.
The direction he wanted to go was one talking about the Stars, since that was his comfort, that was one of his favorite things. His grandmother had told him a story about how when people pass, they leave the earth to live among the stars, where they watch over their loved ones, and help to suit their destiny and their path, as well as protecting their dreams; it was something that Duri had come to believe with his whole heart. He still believed it, even if it was foolish. But, he liked it, it was something that had become comforting to him. He had that idea pop up; it was something that meant something so important him, and yet he couldn’t get much out.
He would only write a few lines of the song, which would go “like the star that we looked at together, I promise to be the star in your heart that remains for a long time and shines for you, who endured through the dark times with me.��� That was all he could get down before he’d give up for the night. It would be good for now, something that he could probably come back to when the time was right. But for now, he decided to just go back to the dorm to have some coffee and soon start his day.
September 15th, 2018.
He couldn’t believe that such a thing had happened. But, he was glad that it did. Duri had finally been able to get it off his shoulders that he was still suffering, that he wasn’t okay, and it was something that Leo had known now. He still, however, wished that Leo didn’t have to witness Duri going through the episode. But, he felt like he could breathe somewhat now. Even though he was still, obviously, going to go through things pretending as if he was fine. It was good to know that someone else had known now, that someone was there for him in the dark times. But, he knew that Leo wasn’t the only person that was there for him in those times. There was so many people in his life that was there for him, that had helped him through, even if they didn’t know it.
There was Uncle Minho and Aunt Taekjo, who had taken him after his parents had passed away with no questions aunt. Even if Minho was hurting himself at the sudden loss of his brother. They had dealt with Duri at his worst with his Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, always rushing to his side to aid him. Even doing intense research to try and figure out what exactly was wrong with him before getting him the help that he needed. They helped a spot in his heart that was forever gone, that was taken when his parents had passed. If it wasn’t for them, he wouldn’t be where he was today.
His grandparents; even though they grew up in a generation where things were obviously different, they never turned their backs on the man. They understood him, they understood his mental health, they understood the dreams he wanted to chase, and everything in between. They were different from their generation, they were the type that would fight for what they believed in because it was very much different from what a lot of people in their generation believed in. They were educated and they believed everyone had a right to things. His close relationship to them and their understanding… that was truly something that was hard to come by.
There was two cousins, Mari and Jihyun, who were by his side no matter what. Often times when he was younger, Mari would rush to spend time with Duri, to help him take his mind off of things. They had seemingly gotten really close and she understood everything that he had been going through. Mari never judged him, she had just aided him, as well as been one of his biggest hype men with whatever he did. With her help, his confidence would seem to boost a bit more. She had easily become one of his best friends early on, as well as a sister to him. The same had gone for Jihyun; a protector of sorts and a best friend that had come out of the blue with her mom to live with Taekjo and Minho. It was nice and having someone younger than him to be there felt rather nice to have. Duri had done his best to take care of her and he felt like she had done the same with him. Even being sure to warn him before he had entered idol himself after he had put it off for a very long time. These two had meant the world to him, entirely.
Then there was Jaewon, someone that he had met while still in middle school. He was someone that Duri truly believed that his parents had put in his path. Jaewon had seemingly come into his life when he needed someone the most. A little brother; that’s something that he needed. Someone to take care of, to spend time with. He got to do just about everything with Jaewon, hanging out with the younger boy from time to time, before he would walk him home, and watch as he went into his home; just to make sure he had gotten there completely safely. He would often buy him his favorite sweets and snacks every time the two young kids would roam the streets of Seoul on their own. It made him feel better because Jaewon was someone that he truly needed and to this day, he’s a best friend and a little brother that he still very much needed.
Jinsol and Hanui; his two best friends ever since he had moved to Seoul. They met at a playground and from there, they were almost inseparable. The two saw how broken he was; even though he was always really happy, always taking care of everyone else, making friends with just about everyone, helping others out, and everything else that they wanted to take care of him, to protect him. Duri, Jinsol, and Hanui were a trio that understood everything about each other and even if they would walk different paths in life, they would still always contact one another, and hang out as much as possible. Those are two people that really helped him get through many, many things.
Next there was Minki, someone that would come to Duri during the pre-debut months of Knight. Duri had only trained for November and December of 2011 before he was announced a member of the upcoming boy group, Knight. Duri was still very much in his awkward stage of change; he was never good with change, it was something that had made him incredibly nervous ever since his parents had passed and his big change of losing them, then moving to a brand new city where his aunt and uncle resided was a lot for him. But, Minki was someone that had helped him get through that period of time. He helped his confidence, helped him to come back to the person that Duri really was; the friendly, talkative guy. Not the shy one that didn’t know what to do in a brand new place. If it wasn’t for Minki, he wouldn’t know what to do and he’s someone that had helped him and continued to help him more than he could possibly know.
There was no possible way for him to leave out Leo; someone that he was very close to. The two had become close to one another over the years of Knight and there was no doubt about that. It was something that could be seen, you wouldn’t even have to ask. Leo was truly someone that had meant a lot to Duri based on their friendship and interaction together. And obviously, what had happened previously where Duri had told him everything that was going on with himself, about the death of his parents, and how he was in the backseat during the accident; how he didn’t shut him out after learning about everything had truly helped him. It probably solidified their friendship even more and he felt like Leo was someone that he could go to for just about anything. That meant the world to him, that had helped him a lot.
The pretty smile, the soft, nice boy; he was perfect. He was someone that made his heart beat completely; but, he was also a good friend on top of the feelings that he felt for him and another person that his parents had seemed to send him. Yoo Chanwoo was his sunbae, but his good friend, someone that was there for him, and someone that he would spend time with (to be quite honest… he would spend a lot of time with this man, but that was beside the point.) There was just something different with him, this level of comfortableness that he had with the other. He felt close to him and he had come so close to telling him things, even if they wouldn’t move pass his lips. But, if he was ever feeling down, Chanwoo was there to help him, to make him feel better. It made his heart skip just a little bit more.
Then, of course, there was Sooyeon. She was another protector, it had seemed. She was for sure one of those people that would beat up anyone that wronged Duri and he was incredibly grateful for that. But, she was also like a little sister or daughter to him, someone that he would just take care of no matter what was called for it. Someone that he could trust, someone that he could just talk to for hours on end. She meant a lot to him and he hoped that she had felt the same way. No matter how old she would get, Duri will still very much take care of her and making sure that she was okay.
Then it hit him.
The song that he had started writing months ago, the one with only four lines; it had popped into his head, and he believed he had the missing puzzle piece to it. It had to be about these people, the ones that had gone through his darkest times with him (even if they really didn’t know) and still are, these were the people that he was going to stay in their hearts, that he was going to protect as best as he could. He would stay in their hearts as a shining, bright star. He had quickly grabbed his jacket and things, before he had gone out the door, and down the steps on that same night where things had fallen into place. He had come upon his favorite spot once more, before he’d sit down, and open the notebook to that page. It was going to be a puzzle, but now, the difficulty had decreased from months prior.
He would begin to piece around what he had already written down. It was all about how they had looked at a star together, how he would be there star, how he would protect them, and everything in between. It was for these people, the people that had really done so much for him, even if it was little things; they still meant the entire world to him and he wanted them to know. It was starting to come out, even though it would take some time to get things to sound right, he made it work. It would finally all together and he would smile softly. Eyes looking upon the glistening stars above. “Do you think they’ll like it, mom and dad?” He questioned, nodding his head. They probably think so.
He’d write at the bottom of the page
“For Uncle Minho, Aunt Taekjo, Grandparents, Mari, Jihyun, Jaewon, Jinsol, Hanui, Minki, Leo, Chanwoo, and Sooyeon…”
This was it, this was “Star” and he was happy with it. He hoped that those who would listen to it would feel what he wanted to say to them.

Hey everyone,
The subject of this week's blog and yes I know I'm two days late but believe me this is going to be well worth it especially to the men out there here on Tumblr the ones that are single let me ask you a question have you been talking to women lately that seem a little peculiar to you they say they miss you they love you all this and that and you've only talk to them like once or twice you ask for their phone number they avoid it completely or they just make a big excuse why they can't give it to you asked to go meet them they don't that they say okay fine come you know you give an address and then you completely gets stood up because they just don't show this is an MO or otherwise known as a method of operation for these women sometimes it even as much as the first conversation or the third they will start telling you start giving you a sob story like I'm having to come out here from another country or I'm having to move to this state because I'm having to take care of sick relatives or they don't have no food or anything like that and if they want to meet if you want to meet them you have to give them gas money and no that's part of the scam then they start asking for things like gift cards $20 $40 $100 gift cards some drnominations don't even exist on some of the gift cards Google Play and steam gift cards are the most common if you have fallen prey to these women and I have twice and I'm glad I did because that was money well spent because I got to learn all kinds of shit from these people and then I'm giving you all that I have right now here are some of the red flags that show up during these conversations:
1. Their language is all wrong they'll say things like instead of saying like what did you have for breakfast to say did you take breakfast or they'll say something to the fact of their grammar being so messed up you have to like think about it before you understand what the're trying to tell you some of these women are coming from Russia some of them are from Africa some of them are from Mexico and they are all here in the United States typically in the states of the Northeast New York New Jersey there are some out west in California there are a few here in Texas and there are some just scattered everywhere.
2. They start telling you they need food but they need you to get them a $40 $50 or $100 or whatever it is gift card most commonly known as Google play or Steam do not do it because what they're doing is is they're taking the cards and selling them on the black market or on these websites that operate and they are turning in for money they're getting less than what they're supposed to get so that's why you have to give more to cover what they're not getting
3. They start asking you questions like your bank account they want you logging information do not give it to them their social security number they want to verify you through ID me id.me is legit so that would be fine except the safer way for you to do it is go ahead and go on id.me and do your own verification that way you don't have to give them nothing the less information they have on you the more likely they're going to just pass you up.
4. They ask you who you're with your cell phone number is and who your mobile carrier is this is to put you in on dating sites and for them to subscribe you to advertising that they get money for okay this is a different type of identity theft ring it is identity theft to a point but they're not using the information necessarily against you they're not even really taking a lot of money out of people's bank accounts they're only taking money out of the bank accounts that they can't get any money other ways so that's why I said do not give them anything.
5. Do not confront them either because they will always deny that they are scamming you they do that so that way they can bring you in closer to them so they can get your trust.
6. When you ask where they work and stuff besides are the probably going to tell you there they either don't have a job or it's some kind of job that's actually ridiculous for them to have they're not good liars folks they really are not you just got to learn this read between the lines with these people and like I said the biggest clue right there is the language you know things that should be plural or not plural things that are misspelled or misspelled badly the wording is confusing and I think I already said this once.
7. Always remember guys if it is too good to be true it probably is.
8. If they ask for your bank account information for the purpose of depositing money they will deposit money into your account but then they will take it and more if they tell you you can spend some of it do not touch it because that's how they get people just don't touch it call your bank tell them what's going on they will close your account and they will inevitably beginning investigation and once that happens everything they will be frozen you will not be able to have access to nothing unfortunately by extra step go to the police department I mean I know this part is going to be a waste of time because they're not going to be able to get your money back but at least let them know so that way there's some record of it.
9. Screenshot everything write everything down take notes even if you are in the middle of one of these conversations now go back as far as you can from the beginning tell you know screenshot your conversation if you need to that's fine but this is got to stop guys and we're the only ones who can fight back the FBI will help you know they they can do the Justice part they can they can make the arrest and go to court and everything but they can't do it without our help.
10. Now I will be turning people in in groups of five or more that's why I said turn the information into me as soon as I get five or six people together I will go turn them in I do have a contact there and he told me just to wait to have that many just because it would just be easier to just do them all at once so just one by one by one by one
So now you know what is going on so how you stop it that's very easy you do one thing and one thing only you make a decision and you stand by it you stand your ground you do not weaken your position at all do not show that you're weak do not give them even an inch because if you give them an inch they will not just take a mile they will take a whole football field and then they're going to tighten the grip on you and then you can't get out if you're in this position Now message me immediately and let me know and I will give you I will give you instructions this blog this this post I will I am asking everybody who reads it's please please reblog this over and over and over and over again I don't care how many times this has got to get out cuz this is very serious so far these women just in the past two and a half years have gotten over a hundred million dollars from Men 100 million definitely more than a price of a cup of coffee in the guys and the thing is it could have all been prevented.
Now for the fun part things that I have tried and has worked to oeel these women off your back besides Im no of course.
1. If you should give them your PIN number or you already have tell them that you had to get that you received a piece of software from your bank or whatever you want to lie to them if you got to every time they use the PIN code a new one is put in its place at random only you know what the new PIN code is going to be because it's going to be email to you if they ask to see proof of the emails tell them that's classified you can't show that just doesn't allow you to screenshot it because Android phones I know especially I'm pretty sure probably the same as iPhones you cannot screenshot certain screens especially on banking apps or anything has to do with money I sensitive information
2. Okay if you've given them your bank account info or your PIN number already tell them that you got notification from your bank that to be safe they're charging you an extra save $5 for the purpose of enrolling you in a new service that will automatically change your PIN number every time you use it or if you want to you you can tell him that you came across the piece of software on the internet that does the exact same thing I just told you about whichever it doesn't matter this will make them back off of you a lot because then they know that you're on to them they'll start not talking to you like they were or they'll say you know they'll be in a conversation just leave get offline you know because they know that you're on to them and they're panicking they don't know what to do so they have to call their boss to find out what to do and he has given them no answer no we do not know who the boss is by the way or where this is all being based out of I will tell you also that.
3. Okay I'm sure you're probably wondering who all these women are not 100% sure but most likely they probably were kidnapped at some point in time brainwashed and part of a human trafficking ring or a sexual tracking trafficking ring before they ended up doing this they probably don't even know who they really are but yet they managed to play in the end you know with our society because you know our society is pretty much stupid in itself I'm sorry guys but it's true and I count myself apart that
I don't think I have forgotten anything else like I said be vigilant Be watchful and do not lose your ground make a decision you stay with it cuz otherwise you're just going to put more money in their pockets I mean it's very possible that you know you know they figure well we're on to them so they're going to go ahead and just give up and close shop and move on to the next country you guys some of you I know work very hard for your money now I'm not sure if men are doing this to women or not but for you ladies if there is anything like this the same the same thing applies I mean I don't see why there are in any man involved or probably should be.
Finally it took a lot for me to admit what I admitted to you tonight I'm not very proud of what I did I'm not very proud of the fact that I let somebody well actually left2 somebody's get by me I'm usually pretty smart but that's how they operate and I will tell you tonight I have a possible number six so I don't know if number six will turn out or not she's doing a lot of the same things but she's been taking more of an actual normal approach as to the relationship part of it I'm not letting myself get involved you know emotionally or anything I'm just kind of just playing a role right now and she's not getting any money from me so I will keep you updated on that like I said anybody guys I don't care who you are I will not ask questions I will not judge please help me get these people may we may not get them all but hell we can at least put a big big enough Dent and shut down and they'll leave but we got to act quickly and we got to keep acting quickly hell I would say it's pretty ballsy if you go decide to go ahead and start seeking them out just to get them I mean you can do that if you wish unfortunately there's no reward or no money being paid but you know you are kind of owe it to your fellow neighbor your fellow just your fellow person you fellow man all right you guys good luck you got a lot of work ahead of us y'all have a great week and I'll update you as I get more information if you have any questions do not please do not hesitate to ask if I don't have the answer I will contact my person at the FBI and he will answer them for me and I will get back to you as soon as possible thank you guys have a great week.

Critical Evaluation of “Why Guidelines For What Canadians Can and Can’t Do After Getting Covid-19 Vaccines Are Still Unclear”
Article and It’s Key Message:
This blog post has prompted me to locate an article that I can successfully evaluate. I chose to work with a news article because I believe that there will be lots more critiquing to be done throughout a news article in comparison to a journal article. I began scrolling through recent news articles published by CBC News and stumbled across the one I have chosen. The article that I have chosen to critically evaluate is titled Why Guidelines For What Canadians Can and Can’t Do After Getting Covid-19 Vaccines Are Still Unclear, written by Adam Miller, a senior Health writer working with CBC News. This article can be found at https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/vaccine-guidelines-canada-covid-19-1.5961173. I selected this news article because it discusses a very relevant topic, the Covid-19 vaccination plan for Canadians. This article was published and posted during the wee hours of the morning on March 24th, 2021.
The key message of this article is directed at Canadian citizens who have either received a dose of the Covid-19 vaccine or are waiting to receive one. The article works to communicate the key message that Canadian citizens are going through a hard time waiting to hear what guidelines they must follow if they have received a dose of the vaccine and that they will no longer be receiving a second dose after 3 weeks, but 4 months instead. The article also focuses on the “experiment” that British Columbia researchers are conducting which states that Canadians should wait the 4 months between doses.
Sources and Evaluation:
Throughout this article, there are many sources that are referenced. The author uses interviews with Canadian Health officials that have already been conducted and takes direct quotes from them to use in his article. When referencing these sources throughout his writing, Miller states exactly who and what interview that he is regarding before placing a direct quote in the writing. Miller also includes various statistics to support his claims which he has gathered from pre-existing research projects. Instead of referencing these statistics in full throughout the writing, he references them at the end of the article. Miller also includes a short video clip in his article when discussing Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer, Dr. Theresa Tam, and her guidance for vaccinated Canadians.
The sources used to write this article were most likely evaluated through their relativity to the Covid-19 vaccine roll out plan and the level of significance that they hold in terms of the altered timeline for vaccine doses. Also, the sources were likely evaluated on their location of discussion and proximity to the matters dealt with since the article discusses experiments stemming from Ontario and British Columbia.
Validation and Verification:
When examining validity and verification of a piece of writing, we often look at the proposal or the final project (Hooykaas, 2021). In this case, I have chosen to look at the final project because a proposal is unavailable. In this final project, it is clear that Miller uses triangulation by using various sources to support his claims. Miller uses expert consultants as the source for his direct quotes and shows variations in the categories that he has found them from.
Expectations and Responsibilities:
After reading this article, Canadian citizens of all categories should understand that although no specific guidelines have been given or announced yet in regards to what life will be like after the vaccine, they must still remain careful. Vaccinated citizens should still be following Covid-19 safety guidelines in terms of social distancing and should understand that they are still at risk until they have received their full 2 doses. It is our responsibility as Canadians to ensure that we are keeping ourselves safe and the people around us through these hard times.

Welcome to Etherealm!
As a canon-only panfandom with a small laidback 18+ community, Etherealm is a semi-open sandbox focusing and encouraging player-driven plots, world-building, and character developments. We're third-person, paragraph style with no word count! When characters are suddenly taken from their own world without warning, they wake up on a seemingly desert island where a new life - and a new world - awaits them.
FEATURES
Mainly SFW but 18+ community!
Vast crossover of canons and fandoms!
Simple claim and application process
Tupperbox Bot for in-character posts
No word count to multi-paragraph replies
Monthly activity check!
Ability to request new location channels
Blacklist and trigger warning list
One moment, your life seems as normal as it can get for you. The next, your eyes fall close. You sink into a deep slumber.
And you wake up on the island.
Strangely-mundane, water for miles and miles, civilisation hasn’t seemed to touch the white sandy beaches, rocky cliffs and overgrown jungle, but yet there the lighthouse stands.
A beacon in the otherwise wild and empty landscape, for all the lost souls to see who wake up here, the lighthouse stands in decadence. Instead of going up, inside there is only a tunnel going down.
And down.
And down.
Underground, underwater, whether several minutes or several hours, the foyer of a secret city welcomes you.
A grande hall with walls made of crystalline glass, a dome deeply submerged into the water surrounds you. Only the light of bioluminescent fish and plants illuminate the room, yet you have no problems making out the huge double doors leading into the city.
Leaving the tunnel behind, you move across the marble floor, curiosity dragging you forwards, and as you approach, the doors open on their own, inviting you to take the next step of many more yet to come.
Welcome to Etherealm.
RULES & GUIDELINES
1. Respect. Our most important rule is to respect your fellow members. There is a zero-tolerance policy for hate speech, harassment, flaming or any form of bigotry, including but not limited to: racism, sexism, queerphobia, transphobia, ableism, elitism, etc. Best thing to do is be kind (including to yourself!) and think positive!
2. Members are required to be 18+ to join. As the first step to joining this server, you'll want to verify your age by simply posting it in #welcome-verification. This channel is private and no one but the Staff Team will be able to see your age, if you do not want to publicly disclose it.
3. Introduce Yourself. As the second step to joining this server, please be sure to #introduce-yourself and follow the provided template pinned within that channel! Not only will this help the community to know each other a little better, but will also help in letting us know your preferred OOC name, pronouns, any triggers for our list, favourite fandoms, etc.
4. Check Roles. Please remember to check and respect the roles of other members! Thanks to our #self-roles, members can assign their preferred pronouns, DMs and roleplay status, tagging preferences, etc.
5. Ready to Roleplay?. We know you’re excited to get started, but please do not post in any of the in-character channels until you've perused our taken #canon-list, claimed your character via submitting your completed Character Claim Form to the #character-registry and created your character's Tupper profile via #character-tupperbox.
6. Canon-Only. We are a canon-only roleplay and allow characters from nearly any fandom with the exception of unpublished works, anything geared towards a preschool audience, or anything deemed purely erotic in nature. With the exception of some larger fandoms (IE: Marvel, DC, etc.), players can only claim two canons not significantly connected per fandom. In addition, only one iteration of a character can be claimed unless differing significantly enough to be considered their own unique separate character. 7. Characters. The maximum number of characters that can be claimed is 13; however, please do not claim more than you can handle. First three characters are always free and can be claimed/reserved immediately, with any more requiring a five day wait from the last character applied for and for each character to have taken part in at least one in-character scene.
8. Activity. Due to the nature of panfandoms, all characters are expected to post at least once per month to be considered active on the server, although more is highly encouraged and recommended. Player activity is checked on the 8th of every month, meaning characters will have from the 8th of the preceding month to the 7th to post and share an example of their activity (see: for the current month's activity check channel). For any players unable to be active but wishing to save their characters, please notify us of any , although please be aware you may be asked to reconsider any additional characters after any repeated or prolonged absences.
9. No Plagiarism. Plagiarism is not tolerated. While the character concepts are being borrowed from copyrighted work, you are not allowed to copy and paste from Wikipedia or any other source unless properly quoted. Do not claim or present any material you haven't written as your own. Similarly, the same goes for artwork and please remember to credit when sharing.
10. No Godmodding, Metagaming, or Powerplaying. Do not control another character without the player's permission or take information only available OOC and use it IC. Similarly, be realistic when roleplaying out your character's capabilities and talk to your partner(s) about anything affecting their characters.
11. Mature Content. While adult themes are permitted, we operate a 'fade to black' policy in the SFW channels. Any mature, triggering or otherwise graphic content is required to be marked with a warning and censored, or else rped in the available NSFW channels. Any characters under 18 (or appearing to be) may only be involved in age appropriate relationships and are forbidden from participating in any sexual-related content. Please refer to the #blacklist-and-triggers for a more detailed listing on what, how and when to censor.
12. Writing. All roleplay posts must ideally be written in third person, past tense. Although we do not expect perfection and understand English is not everyone’s first language, posts must be legible. We have no word count, so you can write as much or as little as you like, but please be sure to give your partner(s) something to respond to.
13. Channels. All our channels are private channels! In order to join an ongoing scene taking place in a channel, please ask permission of all the players involved. The only exception to this rule are channels or scenes marked as open (see: #open-tagbox & #channel-directory).
14. Communicate. Please ensure to communicate with your writing partners! This can be regarding certain triggers and squirks, as well as establishing boundaries and getting permission when engaging in fight scenes (such as for potential injuries) or anything of a sexual and/or romantic nature. Any in-character conflicts should remain as such, with any out-of-character drama kept off the server.
15. Scenes. Please be aware it is one scene per channel. Once a scene has ended, a new scene can begin. If a channel goes a week without a reply, the scene can be 'paused' for the channel to be re-opened and the players involved in the paused scene can either headcanon an ending or else continue it at a later date once the channel is free again. 16. Time. Due to the mysterious nature of the world in-verse, the in-character channels operate on liquid time and players are encouraged to keep track of their own personal timelines. For this reason, characters can participate in multiple scenes at once and there is no roleplay lock.
17. Have fun!

The day after the grand Halloween event, the girls have gathered once again inside a typical practice room. With their comeback already planned, they should all be kept in check.
“I hope you all had a lot of fun yesterday,” Kim Geonwook, their dance coach, starts things off, “because from today on we’ll work on getting everything right, which shouldn’t be as fun.” He starts by staring at the newest member. “What we worked on the most was getting Joohyun to learn all the songs she needed to. She did her job, but the struggle now is to get you all in sync. This isn’t like changing a tire where you just it into a new one and the car starts to move. Each screw needs to be properly fixed and, right now, she isn’t the only problem. Because you aren’t used to her as well, you can’t anticipate her movements, which leads to people not matching each other.”
He claps his hands together once. “But, Joohyun, you’re a good dancer. At the start of this, we had to push each of the members to work on their dance to make this teamwork. Now, I believe you can all do well together. My diagnosis to you is a lot of hard work and maybe some bonding time.” And so their month starts. To help with bonding, the coach prepared some trust exercises such as trust falls, but since that’s not really his style, they quickly moved over to just practicing their moves. With that the coming months have prepared, the group needs to go through the same routines over and over again not to screw up on the most viewed live shows of the year.
Two weeks after her audition, Minji receives the news on November 10th right from her manager about how the producers got interested in her for the role. However, how this will be a big-scale project, things can’t be confirmed with one simple audition. Between all the people who tried for the part on the month before, five of them remain, including Minji. She’s told to return for a second round of auditions on November 24th. This time, more information was given on the project in hopes that it’ll inspire the candidates on doing the best job. The drama will follow a group of rich, privileged high school students as they are about to take over their families' business empires, overcoming difficulties and growing every step of the way. The role they’re auditioning for, however, is of Cha Eunsang, a down-to-earth and somewhat cynical woman who diligently works part-time jobs to support herself and her mother. When they arrive on the scheduled day, the five finals actresses looking for the role will receive a scene on the spot to study for in a set of minutes before performing it. They’ll also receive an impromptu prompt to act on-the-spot in a group scene. The final results will come out the following month.
Since Eclipse were invited to some end-of-the-year shows, that means that Joohyun will have to perform with them live for the first time. Before that can happen, the girls will be taken out to record a reveal video for their new member. They’ll go on November 11th to record the video outside. It’ll follow the essence of this video, but the content will be different. Following Joohyun’s reveal video for the KTROOKIES project, all five girls will be recorded on the busy streets of Seoul while the cars zoom past the streets. They’ll be moving as if they’re looking for something with their faces never being completely visible. That’s until another car crosses the screen and Joohyun is revealed standing on the other side. They’ll also be recording a video like this one next to the Han River. These will be uploaded later in the month. The girls will be using the outfits as seen in this image (without the skates).
Anna — Umji
Blue — Sowon
Haseul — Yerin
Jennie — Yuju
Joohyun — Eunha
Minji — Sinb
In order to avoid the harsh cold of December, the group will be recording the music video of their title song still in November. Their comeback will happen in early January. On November 12th, the girls will go out to their usual hair salon to make needed changes, or just to make sure their hair is in good condition.
Anna — Brown ( reference )
Blue — Red ( reference )
Haseul — Black ( reference )
Jennie — Black ( reference )
Joohyun — Brown ( reference )
Minji — Blonde ( reference )
Members who changed their hairstyles are told not to reveal them to the public.
On November 16th, the group will go out for their album photoshoot. This will consist of two different sets, one inspired by these images ( 1, 2, 3, 4 ) and another by these ( 1, 2, 3, 4 ). The day after, their music video recordings will start.

This will be their first public group performance with Joohyun on the team.
December 4th is the date of the Mnet Asian Music Awards. This will be their first stage after their comeback. Their stage will be slightly based on this video and this video.

For the duo dance and onwards, the girls will put a robe on top of their previous outfits as seen here. Haseul will sing one of her lines from ‘Chase Me’ this time (1:02-1:07) before they head into this song’s performance.

ALL ABOUT SM GLOBAL PACKAGE & NEO CITY: SEOUL EXPERIENCE
by twitter user @sugnsook // @yudotaeil
Hello~ so i am not that good at explaining/vlogging or writing stuffs but in this thread? or blogpost or wherever u guys reading this, i will try to describe my experience as much as I can. Also for now, I am dividing this post, FAQ-style according to several topics, and I will put a separate detailed post on my own Neo City: SEOUL experience. I hope this will help for u guys deciding to splurge a bit on concert/global package!
Disclaimer: In the past, I got a few ccs complaining about my fangirl related-expensive expenses, I just want to note earlier here that as the whole prior to the actual concert, I was a part time student & working 30+ hours a week, working every chances I get. It was also my last semester of undergrad studies & I have been wanting to attend NCT’s first ever concert since 2017 and been really saved up since then, so I consider the large expenses is pretty much a treat for myself.
Tl;dr: if you worked hard enough and really wanted to attend your faves event, just go for it, as it was really worth it.
— General
What is included in Global Package?
Concert ticket (depending on days u wanna go), a good quality hotel for your stay, return transportation to & from the concert venue - hotel, preorder access to official merchandises, NCT 127 theme global package-special merchandises, NCT 127 theme snack boxes (after the concert), One themed lunch, a half day tour with tour guide before the concert, special event (varies according to what concert) - for NCT127’s we got a photoshoot session with NCT127’s life-size standee in SM’s infamous practice room itself.
How much does Global Package cost?
All i can say first thing first is….it IS costly. The ones I am paying is $949USD for Superior Single (Course C) as shown below:
The difference between the prices & packages are it depends on which hotel they will locate you & your seating in the concert. They also have Course A, Course B & Course C which depends on the concert days you are attending. Because I am flying out to Seoul just for the purpose of concert so why not just buy the two days ticket? And yeah that is why I chose Course C.
When does the ticketing open?
Usually the global package ticketing will only open at least one month prior to the actual concert, just like the concert announcement itself. Basically right after SM announce the concert, just be prepared as the ticketing will be shortly after it, right before the general ticketing starts. My advice is just, save up save up and save up as it is really well-known super costly.
How competitive the tickets are?
It is less competitive than general ticketing for sure, but pretty competitive in between ifans itself. When I bought mine, I initially planned for just economy ones but the ticket sold out WHEN i clicked “payment”. So, be quick or you might need to wait a bit more. I’m the type to be anxious if I dont have my ticket yet so I really want my ticketing matters to be settled up as soon as possible so-- when I figured out the economy package got sold out I quickly clicked on superior option - impulsively hehs.
During that ticketing, SM allows you to hold your payment up to 2 hours, as for twin package buyers can split payment. So if the tickets sold out, you might be able to get it after 2 hours. NOTE THAT: SM changed the policy from 2 hours to 30 mins now.
Eventually SM will release more packages and you CANNOT change your options once you have buy it. The packages will be available up until a week/or two before the concert, but the type of packages is really depends. I would say, Course C - Economy package sold out pretty quickly because that is what most people aiming for.
*also, keep refreshing the page if you are buying at the exact ticketing open time! The ticketing for mine opened 3 mins before the actual time so yeah….
How is the payment made?
Paypal only. Just be sure you have signed up to smtown travel account, and link you cards or have paypal balance to get your payment completed smoothly. Your package will only be confirmed once you get the payment confirmation so, having a working payment method is important. SM’s cancellation policy is ridiculous so I recommend everyone who is interested to join GP to do a thorough research beforehand.
Can international fans join general ticketing?
Yes, but not really feasible, as Yes24 sites require verification, unless you have connections with korean verifications or buy from 3rd party. The downside of 3rd party is you might get even more expensive ticket collectively compared to what Global Package has offered.
How good the seats are?
It depends on your luck as you will only draw your ticket basically the day before the concert. The more you paid for the package, the better the seats. For standing you might get a better queue number and in korea concerts you strictly go in by queue number. I chose seating, so for luckily one of my seat was right next to extended stage, and another seat was on the other side but center view. Also i luckily got both sides of seating so I can enjoy the concert with both views.
It is possible to trade your ticket between other global package holders tho - bcs i saw people did this at my hotel lol but you cannot ask sm to change your ticket. The concert ticket will be written as “해외팬투어” (intl fans tour), instead of your name.
My seat on the first day
My seat on the second day, center view
My seat on the second day, side view
Is there a customer service page i can rely to?
Yes. If there is one thing i would applaud SMtown travel for, it is for their customer service. I used a lot of their “Q&A” page and they typically will reply you within one business day. If you ask on weekend, they will respond to you as quick as on Monday. So if you have any like literally, ANY question about your package, just send a question to them and they will reply personally as soon as they can. And it is in english.
— Logistics
After you have bought your package, SM will update the logistics & schedule 2 WEEKS before the concert. So don’t worry if they ghosted you out before that 2 weeks lol.
Technically, they will divide the hotels according to the package type (dlx/superior/econ), then they will divide you into bus numbers, according whether you are seating/standing. Also your schedule will depends on the bus number you get. And this is non-exchangeable, as they prepared everything according to the list that they grouped you out.
How is the hotel?
For me, i got located at Ibis Styles Ambassador Hotel in Gangnam. Because I got single package, i got the whole hotel room for myself, lol what a new experience, as for my solo travels i only go for budget hostels 🤣. The hotel location is only 15~20mins subway away from the venue, and it is walking distance from COEX. There are a bunch cafes & convenience store nearby so it is pretty easy to get something. The only thing is SM’s booth opens at 8pm, so because I arrived early, I just roamed around until the booth opens. At SM’s booth, it is where you pick up your preordered merchs, sm’s merchs and most importantly draw your tickets. Also I took the chance when gathering with fellow global package goers to trade anything i needed to exchange while everyone is there.
I dont know where to put this under, but for GP, We were given a greeting card from the boys, bunch of stickers, a letter set (with colour pencil), L-holders, bunch of posters and nct127’s moodlight. For the letter set, you can decorate and write fanletter to the members and hand it to your tour guide at the time they ask you. I bought some masking tape and stickers beforehand to decorate my letter, u can prepare it ahead too and transfer it to the letter they give as the time frame is really short.
Can I go to the concert by my own?
Yes you can~ Be sure to tell your tour guide so that they dont waste time waiting. You also have to tell them whether u want to go back to hotel with them or not, as that is when they will hand you the snack boxes. If you are not certain of travelling alone in Seoul, i recommend to travel by the bus they provide, because the tour guide will bring you right until the concert entrance. For me, I wanted to join fan-events and roam around the venue more, so I decided to go on my own. (Best thing about it was when you’re in a train with fellow NCTzens they just airdrop you a lot of nct related stuffs — including the selfies they airdropped at the venue!).
— Itinerary
How tight the schedules are?
It kinda not as tight as I thought? Except for pretty early schedule on the first day, also Maybe because I got a seating ticket so I dont go to venue after the tours right away (standing fans had to queue right away after the tour)
And for me, this was my schedule —
25th 8pm: pick up merchs, ticket etc from SM booth 26th 10am - gather at hotel lobby 10:30am - depart for lunch (at Bulgogi Brothers), it was NCT127-theme and they play nct’s songs! 11:50am - depart to COEX artium - u get 1 hr to roam around there, I chose to roam around smtown museum 1pm - depart to SM C&C building in cheongdam, for special event Around 2~ish - depart back to hotel
U get free time in between and gather back at 4:30pm to depart to concert venue as concert starts at 6. As concert ends around 8:30pm, they give you about 45mins~ to get back to the bus if you wanna go back with them. 27th Bus departs at around 2 pm if i recall, as concert starts at 4pm. I went out at 10am lols (also tell your tour guide!) and bus departs around 7:30pm after the concert. 28th - check out around 12pm.
Detailed itinerary will be updated in my experience post.
The best thing about the concert period was they give you discount on some SM-related stuffs. For example, they give 30% off (?) for beverages at sm cafe for ticket/GP holders, and also discounted smtown museum admission. There were also new merchs got released that time, and some other promotions going on.
Snack box after the concert!
Merchs I collected from kfans giveaways at the venue
The best part was NCTZens spreading out the fanproject - sing Paradise during Encore; using Airdrop. NEO indeed 😎
The amount of memes & stuffs being airdropped - lol
— Budgeting
General budgeting for my trip:
Flight - around 1.6K MYR return trip with 20kg luggage & meal (AirAsia)
Hotel - i only went during my GP stay period so it was all inclusive (hotel + concert ticket) with that $949 USD
Other expenses (tmoney, food, additional merchs) - about $250 usd is enough for me for 4 days, considering I spent on buying cosmetics & merchs a lot. My own preordered merchs was separate amt too, it depends on what u do/willing to spend around that period.
— For Muslim Fans
Do they provide halal meals?
They dont provide halal meat, but you can request for vegetarian option or seafood. During lunch, I got vegetarian bibimbap set. And for the snack boxes, too bad SM provided ham/bacon in the sandwiches, which I am not confident in removing it so I decided to not eat, just eat the cookies. Also they offer late-night meals after the concert (separate pay), but I didnt opt for that one and only went to eat at nearby places.
Can I pray before the concert?
Yes~ as I mentioned earlier, there are a few hours gap before you depart to concert so you can pray at your hotel beforehand. Or if you dont mind, like I did as I went to venue early on the 2nd day, I went to pray at Olympic Park area itself, there are a lot of benches or u can walk a bit further to isolated places to pray. I just sat down at some bench and pray while sitting down.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
These are what I can think of, and as I said earlier I do have another separate post regarding my own NEO CITY: Seoul experience, and I will update under a thread. If you have any questions feel free to contact me via twitter (@sugnsook/@yudotaeil) or curiouscat.me/6sungjae. Also for neo city fancams/random pics about my trip, it will be updated eventually under the main thread where this entry is posted :) Hope it helps!

**Note: This is not the airing of an episode, but an update for the muses involved in the project. Below will be all the plans for the first month in the SN project. If you’d prefer to follow the development of the project as other people would IC, what’s written below would be considered as spoilers! No one but the 15 Nova trainees knows that any of this is happening.
The project only becomes real when each of the 15 chosen trainees makes their way to their new living quarters. They are given up to the 2nd to settle in, decide who gets to share the bunk bed with who, discover who can cook and who should be kept out of the kitchen, as well as who brought the coolest things to share with their fellow lockdown mates. It’s on the following day when the coaches lead the trainees to one of the specially remodeled practice rooms for the first official meeting of their SN Project.
Inside of it, they find their beloved CEO, Hyun Bin, waiting for them in all of his glory. They should be aware by now that wherever they go, the cameras will be watching. Sometime in the future, someone else would be watching the same scene from the comfort of their home. “Hello and welcome, trainees, to the first day of the SN Project!” He sounds just as intimidating as before, except the expression on his face is much more fitting for a recorded show.
The coaches leave the trainees and stop beside him, forming a line of the four members of the jury. “There are 15 of you here today, but that does not mean every one of you will be here with us at the end of the show. This project will not only decide your future but the future of NOVA as a whole. To achieve this, you’ll go through missions every week so we may test your abilities and choose only the best of our trainees at the end of the process. Those who make it to the end will be awarded their debut.” He pauses both for emphasis and so the cameras may catch the trainees’ reactions more appropriately.
“These will be the coaches in charge of shaping you to become the best Nova trainees you can be: Han Yonghwa, Kim Hyemi, and Park Minsoo. Any new information will be given to you through them. I’ll return to evaluate your progress at the end of every month.” Hyun Bin nods and shifts his gaze to the man furthest to his right.
Minsoo nods along before continuing with the announcement himself. “Each week you’ll be given a brand new assignment to work on along with an evaluation to show what you’ve learned. On the fourth and final week of the month, you’ll have to combine everything you’ve learned for one final performance in the presence of your CEO. However, you should dedicate your self to each and every one of them.”
“And that’s not all,” Hyemi continues. “At every end of a month, your progress and dedication to the project are what will definite your future. Elimination isn’t certain, but it is an option. We do not plan on keeping all of you here at the end of the process, so always keep that in mind. You’ll be a total of three months inside of these walls, each week working on a different assignment. If you have what it takes to be a Supernova you’ll be here to learn what’ll come next.”
Yonghwa is the last one to speak. “Your first assigned is one you’ll all get to know, so listen to it carefully. During your first week, you’ll work on your vocal training with me. On your second week, you’ll practice your rapping with Minsoo. The third week will be spent with Hyemi when you’ll have to show just how well a Nova artist is expected to dance. Your forth week, however, we’ll make sure to leave it as a surprise.” He smirks and then looks back at Hyun Bin.
“I’m sure you’ll all work hard on your assignments, and if you don’t, next time may be the last we’ll see each other.” He stops, looks at each of the trainees in front of him, and then proceeds. “Prove yourself to be worthy of the Supernova title and you’ll be given it. For the time being, you’ll continue as trainees, and training is what you must do.”
Someone screams “cut!” and Hyun Bin’s facial expression drops completely. The coaches roll back their shoulders, stretch their necks and reach out for a sip of water. A small woman runs through the room to touch up the CEO’s hair who attentively looks around the room. “Should we do it one more time?”
From this day on, the SN Project has officially started. As explained above, the Nova trainees will be assigned a new mission every week to work on and show their development at the end of it. The last week of each month they’ll be assigned one final mission to show in front of their CEO, Hyun Bin, which will put everyone under the risk of elimination.
The first week will be from March 3rd to March 9th. The trainees will dedicate themselves to training their vocal abilities under the special guidance of coach Han Yonghwa. They’ll have the entire day to practice either by themselves or with the company of a fellow trainee up until Saturday. On the morning of March 10th, a Sunday, they’ll have to do a solo performance in front of the three coaches involving only them singing.
The second week will be from March 10th to March 16th. The trainees will dedicate themselves to training their rapping abilities under the special guidance of coach Park Minsoo. They’ll have the entire day to practice either by themselves or with the company of a fellow trainee up until Saturday. On the morning of March 17th, a Sunday, they’ll have to do a solo performance in front of the three coaches involving only them rapping.
The third week will be from March 17th to March 23rd. The trainees will dedicate themselves to training their dancing abilities under the special guidance of coach Kim Hyemi. They’ll have the entire day to practice either by themselves or with the company of a fellow trainee up until Saturday. On the morning of March 24th, a Sunday, they’ll have to do a solo performance in front of the three coaches involving only them dancing.
The fourth week mission will be announced after everyone performs on the 24th. Boys and girls will be separated in two groups by gender and be told to prepare a full group performance which they’ll perform on the 31st in front of the coaches along with the CEO, Hyun Bin. The requirements of this performance are that it must have singing, at least one portion of rap, and a dance break. Not every trainee will need to both sing and rap, but they must all choose at least one of the two to do as well as dance.
Apart from that, trainees will each take an hour of their time every Friday (8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th) to have a one-on-one session with one of their coaches. When it’s their turn, the trainee will walk inside one of the practice rooms and sit down in front of their assigned coach. The room will be empty except for their chairs and a camera recording everything they say. The coach will ask questions such as ‘How was your week?’, ‘How are you adapting?’, ‘What are you feeling?’. These will serve as private time for the trainees to confess their feelings and let out any emotions they may have, as well as a great way to make content for the show. The assigned coaches are as seen below:
Yonghwa: Lee Sunmi; Son Seungwon; Kim Jungwoo; Ha Huidong; Kim Jongin
Hyemi: BamBam; Heo Solji; Kang Yuchan; Lee Kaeun; Kim Hyuna;
Minsoo: Meng Meiqi; Son Chaeyoung; Kim Hosung; Kim Yongsun; Joo Haknyeon
Writing about these sessions is optional, but will award you bonus points. Each solo you write regarding the solo time spent with the assigned coach will give +2 CHARISMA OR CREATIVITY POINTS, with a cap of one solo per meeting (8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th). This means you may earn up to 10 points depending on how many solos you write. Posting these is not restricted to the week they are referencing to. As long as these solos are posted between March 2nd and March 30th you may collect their respective points. Since you won’t receive debut points from these you may add your charisma or creativity points directly to your tally without a need to verify them.
Every month you’ll be given four different written requirements, one referring to each week.
WEEK 1: In order to collect +3 SINGING POINTS and +2 DEBUT POINTS, write a four post thread or a 250+ solo about the preparations or performance of the first week mission.
WEEK 2: In order to collect +3 RAPPING POINTS and +2 DEBUT POINTS, write a four post thread or a 250+ solo about the preparations or performance of the second week mission.
WEEK 3: In order to collect +3 DANCING POINTS and +2 DEBUT POINTS, write a four post thread or a 250+ solo about the preparations or performance of the third week mission.
WEEK 4: In order to collect +3 PERFORMANCE SKILL POINTS, +2 CHARISMA and +2 DEBUT POINTS, write a four post thread or a 250+ solo about the preparations or performance of the fourth week mission.
Please tag all of the related posts with #nova:snmonth1 and have them up by midnight EST at the end of Saturday, March 30h. The next update will come on March 31st.

The five members of LUXE worked hard for their first comeback and proved they were not impacted by their old members' departures. However, as the second week of promotion starts without sight of a first win, Royal quickly starts their second round of plans. As good as their sales were, it could always be better.
On March 4th, exactly a week and a day after LUXE’s first comeback, they’re notified by their manager that there’s been a change of plans to their schedules. The news is delivered during lunch break after their 11AM camera rehearsal, and soon after they’re done, the members return to the Royal building. Once they arrive, Yoo Jaekyung is there to greet them.
“Hello.” She waits for the girls to get themselves comfortable on the practice room sofa before she continues to speak. “Your comeback results have been better than expected after all that drama, but we’d like to capitalize more on it. We’ve been working on this album for long now, after all, and we wouldn’t want it to go to waste. That’s why we’ll be using one of your B-sides as a follow-up song. This means you’ll keep promoting the same album, but with a new title song. Of course, you’ll conclude your ‘Confused’ promotions as planned, and then we’ll jump into the next promotions soon after.”
From this point on, LUXE will promote their current title song while preparing for their next at the same time. With the help of Jaekyung, the members will learn the choreography for ‘Every Night’, one of the B-sides of their mini-album ‘Fantasy’, so that it may be properly promoted on music shows. For this to happen, their updated schedule will look like this:
06:20AM: at broadcasting station: basic first rehearsal on stage; no makeup, casual clothes.
06:45AM: get basic makeup and hair done.
07:45AM: eat breakfast, nap in dressing room/space.
09:00AM: dress rehearsal on stage; stage outfits, makeup on.
09:20AM: return to dressing room/space: rest, eat, nap, practice.
11:00AM: final camera rehearsal on stage; stage outfits, makeup on.
11:15AM: lunch break
12:00PM: return to royal building: practicing for every night
04:00PM: head to salon: get makeup and hair done.
05:00PM: return to broadcast station: preparations to go on stage; outfits, warming up
07:00PM: live broadcast; when not performing, must stay in dressing room/space until the ending stage of the show.
08:00PM: line up in waiting room area to formally greet producers, director, and senior staff.
09:00PM: meeting time with fans who attended the recordings.
10:00PM: return to dressing rooms to clean up, change back into casual clothes.
11:00PM: arrive back at dorms.
On March 11th, their supposed free day, the members of LUXE will actually head towards a special photoshoot and interview. The girls will arrive at an indoor set with only a solid background, but what’s truly important is who’ll be their companions for this shoot. LUXE will promote a dog shelter campaign to help with adoptions, and to do so, each girl will pose with a different dog brought from the partnered shelter. The interview will involve personal questions about pets and dogs, but also about their career. The girls are advised to say they are preparing for a follow-up song since the article will only go out a couple of weeks later along with the finalized photographs.
With their last ‘Confused’ stage being on the 16th, and the girl’s intense hard work, Jaekyung promises to take them out for dinner with her usual serious expression — but only if they get their first win. It should serve as motivation, and having a feast before their music video filming probably wouldn’t be too great of an idea.
To promote their new title song properly, the girls of LUXE will start filming for their ‘Every Night’ music video on the 18th of March, following the schedule seen below. For reference: Cheri will play Solji; Zoe will play Jeonghwa; Ella will play Hyerin; Yena will play Hani; Xayah will play LE.
DAY ZERO — MARCH 17TH

4:30PM: Thank staff and prepare for leaving.
5:30PM: Arrive at dorms; rest.
All throughout the filming process, staff members will be recording the girls backstage. They are free to interact with it however they’d like while the staff may also ask them some questions to help the girls ease up with the camera. These scenes will be later compiled and edited to be uploaded to a sub-channel under Royal named after LUXE with each episode carrying the name of ‘LUXE TV’. These will be inspired by TWICE TV, which you can watch here, and will continue to be recorded throughout their promotion periods or for special events.
The LUXE girls will have the rest of the 19th to rest but are expected to follow their regular training on the next day. The members will go to a photoshoot location on March 21st to get their teaser pictures taken. This will be faster than a photoshoot for their album, which means the rest of their day will be used, once again, for practicing.
On March 24th, the girls will go to their usual hair salon to touch up on colors and length, except for Xayah who will change her hair color to red. She will not be allowed to post on social media or go out with her hair visible, so the first time the public will get to see it will be on their first follow-up stage. The music video will come out on March 28th, and the first stage will be on the 29th for Music Bank.
Before their stage, all of the members of LUXE will take part in a short interview for Music Bank with the member Cheri acting as a special MC (video reference here) along with Dowon from the boy group ME8 (an IC stand-in for Rowoon from SF9). Xayah will prepare a poem using the syllables of ‘LUXE’, and Yena will be in charge of introducing their newest title track, ‘Every Night’. In the end, Cheri, Ella, and Zoe will ask for the audience to look forward to their performance, in order.
The following is the music show promotion schedule for Luxe’s ‘Every Night’ activities:
3/29, 4/05, 4/12: KBS Music Bank
3/30, 4/06, 4/13: MBC Music Core
3/31, 4/07, 4/14: SBS Inkigayo
4/01, 4/08: Arirang Simply K-pop
4/02, 4/09, 4/16: MTV The Show
4/03, 4/10, 4/17: MBC Show Champion
4/04, 4/11, 4/18: Mnet M!Countdown
You will gain +5 POINTS TO DISTRIBUTE AS YOU WISH, +3 DEBUT POINTS and +2 ACHIEVEMENTS for completing the written requirements explained on the idol tier page. As this is a song promotion month, one of your chosen achievements must be relevant to the above schedule and all required content should be written about activities listed on the above schedule for the month of March. Posting about April activities will not account for March points (more information for their April promotions will come on their April schedule). There is a capped maximum of five solos, sets of starters and/or partnered threads you may write to collect this month’s points.
To clarify, the only form that needs to be submitted at the end of the month is a verification form for your debut points and achievements. Any SP points earned can be collected as soon as you finish the requirement for them. At the end of the month, as you did with your previous evaluation forms, you will submit the following form to the Points Verification blog:
IDOL’S NAME - ROYAL ENT - MARCH SCHEDULE (for the April 3 verification form)
PROOF OF ACTIVITY: [ x ]
POINTS: +00 SP [ distribute these however you like ]
TOTAL POINTS EARNED: +00 SP +00 DBT
+1 WK ACHIEVEMENT #1 [ NUMBER OF TIMES TAKEN + CURRENT LEVEL ]
+1 WK ACHIEVEMENT #2 [ NUMBER OF TIMES TAKEN + CURRENT LEVEL ]

Cheri’s solo activity as a special MC will award them 1 EXP and their group interview will give them an extra 1 EXP, making it a total of 22 EXP. For more information regarding GROUP EXP, refer to the idol tier page!
* Rookie and trainee characters are allowed to attend pre-recordings and fan meetings to interact with idol muses if they choose to do so. Just be realistic about the scheduling; trainees who skip too many lessons to support idol muses will be noticed by their company staff!

7 Ways To Get Paid To Post Ads Online
New Post has been published on https://pingbacklinks.com/7-ways-to-get-paid-to-post-ads-online/
7 Ways To Get Paid To Post Ads Online
With the global online ad expenditure expected to hit $137 billion in 2022, there is no doubt that both individuals and companies are investing in online ads to reach their target audiences. As a result, there are tons of opportunities out there through which you can earn some money advertising for companies online. And in this post, we will share 7 ways you can get paid to post ads for companies online.
1.Facebook Ads
If you are a content creator who creates videos, then I have some good news for you. Facebook allows video content creators to put ads on their videos and then get paid for posting these ads. By simply creating a Facebook page and then uploading original content, you can get monetized once your page or videos reach the monetization requirements. These videos include all live videos and video-on-demand with at least 600,000 views in the last 60 days. Facebook allows you to insert shorts ads before, during, and after your videos, similar to YouTube.
From 2019 to 2020 alone, there has been an 88% increase in the number of content creators that make $10,000 per month. Within that same period, video ad payout to content creators has grown a whopping 55%. This makes Facebook one of the companies that will pay you to post ads.
Facebook is the biggest social media platform out there. This makes it the number one platform in terms of following, leading other platforms like YouTube, IG, and TikTok. Not only that, Facebook accumulates a total of 4 billion video views daily, making it a platform where you can easily get established, get views, then get monetized for the videos you create.
How to be eligible for Facebook video ads:
Besides having 600,000 views on your videos, you need to ensure that you have at least 10,000 followers and a minimum of five active videos.
You must be 18 years or old.
The videos you post must be at least a minute long.
You should have at least 30,000 views for 1-minute on video that are 3 minutes and longer. Or you should have at least 15,000 engagements on a video within the last 60 days.
Also, you must comply with all three monetization rules to be eligible for the Facebook Ad partner monetization. These include partner monetization policy, community standards, content monetization policies.
With community standards, you have to ensure that the videos you post contain no nudity, violence, and hateful speech. The partner monetization policy lays out rules on how your page can receive payments, the type of content your page creates, and how your page shares content. The content monetization policy lays out rules on the kind of posts and videos published on your page. Read more about these rules on Facebook’s business page.
Some alternatives to Facebook videos ads include:
Posting ads if you have a large Facebook following.
Creating a group and then posting ads in those groups.
2.Posting Ads On Your Blogs
If creating videos isn’t your thing, then you can try creating a blog. Bloggers get paid by Google to post ads on their pages. Making money by posting ads on blogs has been one of the oldest ways to make money online. Through Google Adsense, you can make money through people clicking or impression actions on your website.
So, how do you get started? It is simple, follow the steps below:
Start by creating a blog on either WordPress.org, Weebly, Ghost, Tumblr, Blogger, or other reputable CMS.
After creating your account with any of the CMSs, you want to pick a niche. What this means is that you want to choose the type of content you will want to post. For example, you can talk about finance, sports, food, health, or any niche you love to write about. There is no way you are going to gain traction if you keep blogging about random topics.
After choosing the niche, the next important step is to pick a theme. The theme refers to the framework on which your website will be built. This includes features such as the position of images, background color, layout, and many others. Here is a post to help you pick the perfect theme for your website.
After picking your theme, it is crucial that you stay consistent and then write interesting topics people will love to read about. As a beginner, you want to ensure that you post at least two to three blogs every week. Doing this will help you establish yourself and help you get monetized by Google quickly. Make sure the content you write is in-depth and of high quality. Shy away from copying other people’s content because Google will penalize you for that.
After creating your content, make sure that you optimize your website for the Google search engine. Optimization ensures that your website shows up on the first page of the SERP. Here are some tips to help you optimize your website.
The good news about Google AdSense is that your blog doesn’t need to have a huge following or certain minimum clicks for you to be eligible. All you need is a blog with a couple of content on it then you become eligible. However, you want to make sure that your website complies with Google AdSense policy to be eligible.
The amount of money you make from blogs is affected by several factors including, geolocation, your niche, and the type of ad network. However, the main deciding factor will depend on the number of organic clicks or impressions your blog generates.
Google AdSense is the most popular way to monetize your blog by posting ads; however, there are other alternatives such as:
Native ads
Direct ads
Video ads
Affiliate marketing ads
Display ads
Amazon Associate program
and a lot more alternatives.
3.Instagram Ads
Instagram is the home of influencer marketing. Small companies with low budgets are looking to pay individuals with a good number of followers to post their ads. If you have a large following on IG, you can start reaching out to companies to see if they are willing to allow you to post their ads for cash. However, most likely, most companies will reach out to you first. Generally, once your page surpasses 3,000 followers, you can start posting ads and charge people for these ads.
So, how do you become an influencer? Here are some tips below
Choose a niche: Similar to blogging, choose a field you would love to influence. For example, you can choose to build your Instagram profile around tech, dogs, cats, food, or travel.
After choosing your niche, you want to create a bio that catches people’s attention and tells people what your page is about in a few words. Here are some tips on how to write eye-catching biographies.
Once your bio is ready, you want to ensure you post consistently. Make sure that the pictures or videos you post are Instagram-worthy.
Start following your friends and also pages that share similar content as yours. Ensure that you engage with your audience by replying to each comment and liking these comments as well.
Learn to use the right hashtags. Hashtags on IG are like keywords on Google. They help you reach your target audience and help you pop up on search results when people type in the keywords in your hashtags.
Finally, you want to leverage other tools such as Instagram stories. Here is an in-depth guide on how you can become an IG influencer.
We highly advise that you do not buy followers because buying followers will give your page a bad engagement rating. Also, you will not get verified by Instagram when you meet the requirements needed for IG verification. So, instead of buying followers and bots, one way to go about this is to ask other pages in your niche for shoutouts.
The second way you can make money on Instagram is through IGTV ads. Instagram Tv has finally joined the ad monetization space. Instagram will start paying content creators to post ads on their videos on IGTV. Content creators will be required to post 15 seconds ads at the beginning of their videos.
However, there are certain requirements you must meet for your videos to be monetized. These requirements are:
Your videos need to be longer than 2 minutes.
You need to have at least 10,000 followers.
They need to meet all Facebook monetization policies.
All your videos need to have at least 30,000 one-minute views over the last 60 days.
Instagram will pay content creators 55% of the ad revenue they get from each ad, just like other monetization platforms like YouTube. Also, it is important to note that payments will be disbursed once you reach the $100 threshold.
Finally, it is important to note that the IGTV ad monetization isn’t in full effect, even though some creators have qualified for monetization, the monetization scheme will be fully rolled out for every creator that meets the requirements above, by the end of 2021.
4.YouTube
The next platform with which you can get paid to post ads for companies online is YouTube. YouTube is the second largest search engine besides Google, with 5 billion videos watched every day. This makes YouTube a platform where you can easily establish yourself as a video content creator and then get paid doing so.
So, how can you get monetized on YouTube? There are five main requirements to meet to get monetized on YouTube. These are:
Your channel needs to adhere to all of YouTube’s monetization policies.
You need to live in a country where the YouTube partner program is supported.
You need to have at least 1000 subscribers.
Your video should have at least 4000 public watch hours within the last year.
Your YouTube account should be linked to a Google AdSense account.
Once you meet these requirements, YouTube will send you an email to notify you either on whether you’ve been approved or denied to join the YouTube partner program. However, 90% of the time, you would be approved if you follow all YouTube community guideline policies. Also, once you get approved, you have the option of choosing where the ads would be placed on your videos. YouTube pays content creators 55% of the ad revenue they generate. Once you hit $100, YouTube will issue a check to the address of your choice.
The revenue you get from these ads will depend on the number of viewers that watch the ads placed on your videos. In addition, the type of content you create will also determine how much you get paid per ad watched, this is also known as CPM. For example, a finance channel will have a higher CPM than a real estate channel.
You must select videos that comply with the advertiser-friendly guidelines to serve ads, selecting any videos that don’t comply with the advertiser-friendly guidelines wouldn’t be monetized.
The truth is meeting these requirements as a beginner can be challenging. However, here are some tips to get you started.
The first step to starting a YouTube channel will be to choose a niche. You want to make sure that you choose a niche you are passionate and knowledgeable about, not a niche with a high CPM.
Choose a channel name that resonates with your target audience. Also, ensure that you write a detailed explanation of what your channel is about in the about section, and choose a great cover and profile photo for your channel.
After editing your channel and choosing your niche, you want to develop a strategy on how often you will post your content, who your target audience is, and then a goal you want to achieve, for example, your goal the number of subscribers you want to get by the end of the year.
Choose the right equipment. Choosing the right equipment such as the right lighting equipment, sound equipment, and video equipment, can fast-track your way to getting many subscribers within a short time frame. Here are some great equipment suggestions for beginners.
Post quality and original content consistently.
Choose a catchy thumbnail for your videos.
Learn about video optimization and how the YouTube algorithm works.
This guide should help you create a unique YouTube channel.
The YouTube partnership program isn’t the only way you can get paid to post ads for companies online. With YouTube, you can also establish yourself as an affiliate marketer, and then advertise for companies and individuals. However, with this, you would have to specify in your videos that you are an affiliate of the product or service you are advertising. Usually, with this model, you will either get paid to advertise or you can get paid a cut per each sale you bring or both.
In addition, you can get sponsorships from companies to post their ads.
5.TikTok
TikTok has risen to become one of the most popular social media platforms. With over 1 billion monthly active users, companies are tapping into the large user base of TikTok to get their products and services out there, and they are willing to pay great prices for people to advertise their products for them.
While there is no official monetization program on TikTok, you can work your way up to become a TikTok influencer, then you can get paid by companies to post their ads. Through the TikTok creator marketplace, TikTok matches brands and various creators together in one space. This way, brands can easily find influencers within their niche and pay these creators to market their products or services for them.
The good news about TikTok is, you can become a viral sensation overnight compared to other social media platforms, thanks to the TikTok algorithm. And with the tips below, you should be able to amass a large following.
Define and understand your demographics. Defining your demographics means you need to understand the people who will watch your videos and the kind of content they expect.
After defining your demographic, the next step will be to check out the trending list to see what is working. Once you know what is working, you want to replicate these trends in your way.
Once you know what is trending, you want to create your videos, and then post consistently. This will help the algorithm promote your post.
Do not forget to promote your TikTok page on your social media platforms.
Pair up with other TikTokers you know, to grow your audience.
Engage with your audience by replying and liking their comments.
Come up with your trends and promote these trends.
Following the tips above should help you build a large following, and then help you become a TikTok influencer. However, once you start gaining enough followers, you can start approaching companies and offer to advertise their products for a fee. Usually, the number of money companies will pay you will depend on the number of followers you have or your engagement rate.
Finally, we recommend you leverage your TikTok audience and then transfer that audience to your YouTube channel or Instagram page, and other social media platforms, and vice versa.
6.Podcast
Another way you will get paid to post ads for companies online will be through podcasts. When you become a podcaster with a substantial amount of following, companies will start paying you to read out their ads to your audience. This strategy is called host-read ads. It involves a commercial play at the beginning, middle, or end of a podcast, and it is often put together by the host of that podcast. ‘
Companies understand the value they can get from capitalizing on the relationship between a podcast host and their audience; therefore, they do not mind paying a couple of dollars to get their product or service out there through the host.
So, if you have a podcast or if you are looking to start a podcast so that you can read out host-read ads, here are ways you would get paid to do that:
i.CPM Model
Usually, companies buy ads based on the reach of the podcast. What this means is that assuming you have a podcast that has an average of 3000 plays, these companies will pay you to reach these people. Usually, the more your reach or the plays you get, the more money companies are willing to pay for you to advertise for them.
This strategy is called CPM in the podcast industry, and what this means is Cost Per Mille, and the mile stands for a thousand. So, the companies are going to pay you based on the number of impressions you get in 1000s. So, for example, if you charge $10 per CPM, then companies are going to pay you $10 per 1000 downloads, if you get 3000 downloads, then companies will pay you $30, and so on within a month or 60 days period.
ii.Sponsorship
Usually, with the CPM model, you will be required to have 1000 plays and above before companies will want to work with you using this model. Sometimes, you will be required to have at least 50,000 downloads within a month. This makes the CPM strategy non-ideal for smaller podcast hosts who get less than 1000 plays per show. For those of you who get less than 1000 plays, you can try out the sponsorship model.
With the sponsorship model, usually, the host isn’t paid based on the number of plays or downloads their podcast gets within a specific period. Usually, the companies will go on a long-term deal with the podcast host regardless of the number of downloads or plays the podcast host gets for each episode. This makes the sponsorship model great for podcasters who have small or average-sized audiences, and big podcasts.
So, how does a sponsored ad work? With a sponsored ad, the brand sponsoring you will pay you, while you will be required to write up an ad that seamlessly fits into your content. Usually, companies will pay you based on how much revenue they think you can generate for them in the long run.
To find sponsors for your podcast, you want to know the companies that are already spending money within your niche. To find these companies, start by listening to sponsored podcasts within your niche, and then make a list of the companies that are sponsoring these podcasts. Write down the sponsors, and then reach out to them.
But just before you reach out to these, you want to ensure that you understand your listeners/audience, and you know the product or service you want to advertise to them resonates with them. Because if the product resonates with them, then they’ll be willing to pay for these products or services. After you understand your audience, then you can confidently pitch these companies the value your podcast offers them. This way the companies will be more willing to sponsor your podcast as opposed to you not knowing and understanding your audience.
7.Posting Vinyl Decals On Cars
For those of you that aren’t looking to explore these digital spaces, you can still make money by posting the ads of companies by posting pictures on your car. There are tons of companies that are willing to pay you to advertise their product or services on your car. They will usually require that you visit their shop within your area or send out a professional to you.
These companies will usually place stickers or wrap decals on your car’s windows, door, hood, and trunks of your car. These stickers will usually help you promote ads for a specific company, and you will be paid based on how long you keep the ads on your car. Usually, these wraps are removable, so after a certain period, the ad company will come and remove the wraps from your car.
So, how can you qualify to do this?
You must be 18 years and above.
Your car must be insured.
You should have a clean driving record.
Your car shouldn’t be damaged in any way.
You should have a GPS or a tracking system installed in your vehicle.
Below are 3 companies willing to pay you to put ads on your car:
i.Carvertise
Carvertise is one of the most popular car advertisement companies out there. It is free to sign up for with minimal requirements. They are willing to advertise on Uber, Lyft, and GrubHub rides, however, everyday commuting drivers can apply too. With Carvertise, you should expect to make $300 to $1500 per campaign you run with your vehicle. They require that your car:
Shouldn’t be older than a 2008 and should be in mint condition.
You should commute at least 30 miles per day.
You should have a clean driving record.
Also, before you sign up, you want to ensure that they are available in your location.
ii.Wrapify
The next company willing to pay you to advertise stickers and wraps on your car is Wrapify. With Wrapify, all you need to do is to open their app and sign up, and then they will track the places you drive to, and the number of hours you drive. After you qualify to become a Wrapify driver, you can either choose the partial wrap, or the panel wrap, or the full wrap.
With the panel wrap, the ad panel is placed on the front door of your car or either door and because of this, it is usually the least earning. With the panel wrap, you can expect to make between $84 to $140 per month.
The next option is the partial wrap, and with this, the wrap is placed on one side of your car including the back of your car. With the partial wrap, you can expect to make $196 to $280 monthly.
The last option is the full wrap where the stickers are wrapped over the entire body of your vehicle. With this, you can expect to make $264 to $452 monthly.
Besides the type of wrap, some other factors that influence how much you make are:
The places you drive (driving at more trafficked areas gets you more money)
The time you drive
The number of hours you drive daily.
To qualify to be a Wrapify driver, you need to meet the following requirements:
You need to be 21 years and above
You should have a clean criminal and driving record
Your car should be at least a 2008 model in clean conditions

After what feels like too long, but only a few days after their 100 days celebration, is the day of ECLIPSE's first comeback. Its release date is set for the 5th of April along with the MV they attentively recorded the previous month.
Their showcase will be held the same day with the time to start at 6PM. While people wait inside, songs from their first mini-album play in the background to set up the theme. By now, though, they should already know that is not what to expect. When 6PM hits, the lights will dim and the sound of a grandfather clock will play six times, announcing not only the time but that the six girls have arrived. They'll walk to the stage in their black concept outfits and greet the crowd with the help of MC Kim Eunbin. After being asked about the concept for this comeback the girls will reply with “why don't we show you?” which will be the gate to their performance of 'Chase Me’. Once they're done, the members will have a bit of a chat time with questions regarding their comeback, new album, and concept, as well as how they prepared themselves for the change. After doing so, they'll prove they can fit any concept they want by performing their debut song 'Love Whisper’. A new round of questions will start with more of a focus on personal questions than their concept. To end the showcase, they'll sing to 'Trust Me’ from their newest mini-album.
A day earlier, on the 4th, the girls will record the dance practice to their title track to be released a week later of the release, on the 12th. The 4th, however, is the same day the staff will notify that, for both the showcase and during promotions, the member Jennie will have to lip sync during their performances. The staff will explain it as her not having met their expectations and criteria. A pre-recorded audio will play in the background during each of her parts so that there won't be a chance for her voice to give out during strong performances such as with their own title track. From then on, it won't be a subject talked about much by the coaches since they would rather not acknowledge it (and were probably given a stern talk for not preparing the idols correctly).
The following is the music show promotion schedule for Eclipse’s ‘Chase Me’ activities:
4/06, 4/13, 4/20: MBC Music Core
4/07, 4/14, 4/21: SBS Inkigayo
4/08, 4/15: Arirang Simply K-pop
4/09, 4/16, 4/23: MTV The Show
4/10, 4/17, 4/24: MBC Show Champion
4/11, 4/18, 4/25: Mnet M!Countdown
4/12, 4/19, 4/26: KBS Music Bank
On April 11th, Eclipse will record their dance relay for ‘Chase Me’ during their time waiting for M!Countdown to be uploaded on the same day (you can use this to see how it works).
Music show promotions will last for a total of three weeks this time. Programs will begin pre-recording early in the morning and groups are expected to stay at the broadcasting station until the live broadcast takes place later in the day. Although music shows in real life follow varied recording schedules, for IC writing purposes, the schedule for every music show will follow this consistent pattern:
06:20AM: at broadcasting station: basic first rehearsal on stage; no makeup, casual clothes.
06:45AM: head to salon: get makeup and hair done.
07:45AM: return to broadcasting station: eat breakfast, nap in dressing room/space.
09:00AM: dress rehearsal on stage; stage outfits, makeup on.
09:20AM: return to dressing room/space: rest, eat, nap.
11:00AM: final camera rehearsal on stage; stage outfits, makeup on.
11:15AM: greet senior artist groups at their respective dressing room/spaces, accompanied by a manager. you may not sleep during this time, up until the live broadcast.
07:00PM: live broadcast; when not performing, must stay in dressing room/space until the ending stage of the show.
08:00PM: line up in waiting room area to formally greet producers, director, and senior staff.
09:00PM: meeting time with fans who attended the recordings.
10:00PM: return to dressing rooms to clean up, change back into casual clothes.
11:00PM: arrive back at dorms.
To help with promotions, the girls will go to a recording of the show After School Club on the 9th of April at 1PM. This means they'll leave the The Show set after lunch for recording and then return before it's time for the live broadcast. The episode will follow the happenings of the one in this video but modified to fit the personalities of the girls from ECLIPSE. Any Red Velvet reference will be changed to ECLIPSE and their own discography. Members who can speak English will be instructed to use it as often as they can since the goal of the show is to help groups interact with their international fans.
Not only that but on April 15th, a VLive official account will be created under the name of ECLIPSE with an announcement that their first Vlive will happen on the 22nd. Fans will have the chance to build up the number of hearts before the day of the stream.
On that same day, the 22nd, the girls will leave early in the morning to record a special video for their song 'Trust Me’. It'll follow the same line out of the video seen here with intentions of it being uploaded on a later date to surprise their fans.
In the afternoon, all six girls will take part in the live which will be aired from one of KT's practice rooms. A table will be brought inside for the girls to sit by and they'll have relative freedom regarding the contents of their live, but their manager will be behind the camera the entire time to make sure they won't do or say anything wrong. They're allowed to comment they were recording something earlier in the day, but not give out any details or spoilers about it. Since it'll happen during their last week of promotions, fans will probably take it as the possibility of a quick comeback, but the more hype the better, no matter what will actually happen.
Anything can happen, after all.
You will gain +5 POINTS TO DISTRIBUTE AS YOU WISH, +3 DEBUT POINTS and +2 ACHIEVEMENTS for completing the written requirements explained on the idol tier page. As this is a song promotion month, one of your chosen achievements must be relevant to the above schedule and all required content should be written about activities listed on the above schedule for the month of April. There is a capped maximum of five solos, sets of starters and/or partnered threads you may write to collect this month’s points.
To clarify, the only form that needs to be submitted at the end of the month is a verification form for your debut points and achievements. Any SP points earned can be collected as soon as you finish the requirement for them. At the end of the month, as you did with your previous evaluation forms, you will submit the following form to the Points Verification blog:
IDOL’S NAME - KT ENT - APRIL SCHEDULE (for the May 1 verification form)
PROOF OF ACTIVITY: [ x ]
POINTS: +00 SP [ distribute these however you like ]
TOTAL POINTS EARNED: +00 SP +00 DBT
