HYBE HAS NOTHING ON MYDOL!

Mydol has embroiled itself in controversy yet again, but who is shocked?

A disgruntled former employee who claims to have been wrongfully terminated released leaked documents and recordings of Mydol staff and higher-ups.

The hows and whys of the leak don't really matter to stan Twitter; what matters is who was mentioned and what was said about them.

Were your idols mentioned in the leak? 

The source link will redirect you to a form where you can submit your OCs to be mentioned in the Mydol Internal Documents Leak!

Please have fun and get messy 🩷

[thatsofic]

Introducing the first (and hopefully last) GREAT FABLE FACE-OFF 🎉🎉. The goal of this was to recast my HYBE fcs but somehow I ended up here, where there's now the possibility of fc changes for all of them. I would say I can explain but I can't.

⸻⸻   ﹕ HALLOWEEN  SPECIAL ⠀ › ⠀ THE PHANTOM MANOR.

❝ WALTZ WITH THE DEAD, ESCAPE THE LIVING ! ❞

❝ ENTER  THE  EERIE  WORLD  OF  PHANTOM  MANOR,  glasshouse’s  most  thrilling  and  immersive  halloween  event  to  date.  as  the  gates  of  the  ivy-covered  mansion  swing  open,  you’re  drawn  into  its  haunted  corridors,  where  shadows  whisper  secrets,  and  every  room  reveals  a  chilling  story.  from  dancing  with  ghosts  in  the  grand  ballroom  to  cracking  a  sinister  murder  mystery,  this  isn’t  your  typical  haunted  house.  glasshouse  idols  become  spirits  and  suspects,  pulling  you  deeper  into  their  twisted  tale.  can  you  make  it  through  the  night,  or  will  you  join  the  manor’s  haunted  legacy? ❞

PHANTOM  MANOR  is  an  intricate,  multi-layered  halloween  event  designed  by  glasshouse  to  immerse  fans  in  a  haunted,  interactive  experience.  the  venue  is  set  in  a  sprawling,  gothic-style  mansion  with  an  ivy-covered  exterior,  old  stone  walls,  and  creaky  iron  gates.  the  estate  is  purposefully  designed  to  resemble  an  eerie,  abandoned  manor,  complete  with  cobwebs,  flickering  lights,  and  antique  furniture.

as  fans  enter  the  PHANTOM  MANOR,  they  walk  through  various  haunted  rooms  and  halls,  each  with  a  different  eerie  atmosphere.  glasshouse  idols  dressed  as  spirits,  ghosts,  or  cursed  characters  play  out  their  roles,  interacting  with  fans  throughout  their  journey.  some  idols  simply  watch  from  the  shadows,  while  others  jump-scare,  guide,  or  distract  you.

the key attractions are as follows:

01. THE HAUNTED BALLROOM ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ — the main performance space where idols reenact haunting waltzes. guests are sometimes invited to dance, only to realise their partners may be ghosts.

02. THE GHOSTLY LIBRARY ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ — visitors can roam the dusty aisles while idols play long-dead scholars, whisper chilling tales or offer cryptic clues to solve the overarching mysteries.

03. THE SÉANCE ROOM ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ — a séance is conducted by some idols acting as mediums, and fans experience frightening supernatural effects, like ghostly apparitions, flickering candles, and moving objects.

one  of  the  core  events  at  PHANTOM  MANOR  is  MURDER  MYSTERY  NIGHT,  a  life-sized  cluedo  reenactment  in  which  fans  must  solve  a  murder  within  the  mansion.

❝  a  mysterious  death  has  occurred  in  the  manor,  and  fans  are  invited  to  play  detectives  to  figure  out  the  identity  of  the  killer,  the  weapon,  and  the  location  of  the  murder.  each  room  of  the  mansion  ( the  conservatory,  the  dining  hall,  the  study,  etc. )  contains  clues  related  to  the  crime.  glasshouse  idols  portray  key  suspects,  such  as  the  butler,  heiress,  or  eccentric  guests,  giving  cryptic  hints  and  misleading  information.  they  will  lead  fans  to  hidden  rooms,  locked  doors,  or  secret  passages.  guests  are  split  into  teams,  and  the  group  that  solves  the  mystery  first  wins  exclusive  prizes.  those  who  fail  may  experience  additional  "haunted"  consequences,  such  as  getting  trapped  in  rooms  or  dealing  with  heightened  scares.  ❞

while  the  murder  mystery  was  happening,  fans  who  could  not  attend  were  offered  to  participate  in  a  different  event  simultaneously.  they  were  given  another  map  showing  the  blueprints  of  the  manor,  and  together,  they'd  have  to  escape  the  twisted  maze  of  clues  and  jumpscares  to  get  certain  rewards  or  prizes.

in  the  manor's  grand  hallways,  portraits  of  long-lost  residents  ( played  by  idols )  hang  ominously.  at  times,  these  portraits  come  to  life  as  the  idols  step  out  from  the  frames  to  interact  with  guests,  blurring  the  line  between  art  and  reality.  guests  are  tasked  with  identifying  which  portraits  hold  hidden  clues  to  escape  the  house.

the  underground  crypt  is  one  of  the  event’s  most  challenging  areas  in  the  basement.  fans  are  locked  in  a  crypt-like  maze  with  idols  playing  the  roles  of  ancient  spirits  and  undead  beings.  to  escape,  participants  must  solve  puzzles  and  riddles  hidden  in  the  crypt’s  dark  recesses,  all  while  avoiding  encounters  with  the  idols  playing  the  roles  of  guardians  of  the  crypt.  failure  to  escape  means  facing  the  crypt’s  final  curse—a  jump-scare-loaded  finale.

fans  who  successfully  navigate  specific  challenges,  either  by  solving  the  murder  mystery  or  escaping  the  crypt,  receive  exclusive  glasshouse  merchandise,  event-related  memorabilia,  and  potential  meet-and-greets  with  the  artists.

𓉸ྀི ݁ ˖ ◜ PICK A NEW JULES!

[thatsofic]

𓉸ྀི ݁ ˖ ◜ PICK ME...OR SHOULD I SAY YUE & KIKO @ FICFEST '24 (WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?)

Despite being listed as official guests and even confirmed for a performance, the hottest group of the moment, Pick Me, was a no-show—well, sort of. This year’s FicFest Awards (@thatsofic) only saw two of the group’s members: leader Feng Yue and main dancer Kiko Mori, both there just to present awards. So, where were the other three? And why were Yue and Kiko strictly forbidden from mentioning Pick Me, not even to introduce themselves in their interviews? We’re all itching to know the truth, so let’s dive into the latest gossip, shall we?

First things first: as most of you already know, rumor has it that Pick Me is set to have a comeback in the next few weeks. But given all the chaos surrounding the promotions for their last mini-album, DOLL SUMMER, and the infamous drama between Yue and two of her members, Rosie and Jules, it’s no surprise Heartbreak Entertainment might want to keep Pick Me out of the limelight for a while—especially at a huge, high-profile event like FicFest.

What started as unproven accusations now seems an undeniable reality: there’s some serious friction (or dare I say, bad blood?) between certain members of the group. Not that it's entirely a bad thing, though. This shows the girls as real people with real personalities that, apparently, clash more than Heartbreak would like. But here's the thing: this inner tension is starting to take a toll on the group’s general image and promo work, and even Heartbreak Entertainment—famously lenient and transparent with their idols—seems to have finally hit its limit.

So, was keeping them out of the spotlight really the best move? I mean, look at us now—still talking about them, all because the full group didn’t show up at the awards.

But hey, as they say, don’t look a gift horse in the mouth! Even though Pick Me’s absence as a full group was definitely felt, Yue and Kiko totally held it together at the awards, avoiding any major drama and, shockingly, sticking to the Pick Me ban—well, mostly. The duo arrived together, both dressed to the nines and effortlessly stealing the spotlight from some of the nominees.

They rocked the red carpet, stopping to chat with Cleo and answer some fun questions, and snapped some photos at the photocall. Throughout the ceremony, they sat side by side, singing and having fun during some performances, while also mingling and taking selfies with other idols at others. When it came time to present their awards, they both delivered memorable moments. Yue dazzled everyone with her signature charisma, and Kiko was as sweet as pie, practically glowing when she handed the award to none other than the girls from Venus.

But you know what they say: a picture is worth a thousand words, so imagine twelve (three of which are high-quality videos!). Let’s dive into the girls’ posts!

YUE+FINN COLLAB (@bluwavez)

There’s nothing Yue loves more than putting on a good show, and what better way to do that than by posting a pic with none other than the officially recognized and award-winning it boy, Finn Lee? And what a photo it is! They’ve completely broken the internet with their posts, and fans are absolutely thrilled about this iconic duo. Don’t be shocked if you start seeing this particular pic as the profile photo of your Twitter moots—I've done the same.

Oh, I almost forgot! This pic was taken during EVERMORE’s performance. Very on brand for Yue, I must say.

CHIT CHAT WITH CLEO (@hausofanya)

Yue has decided to share a sneak peek from her interview with Cleo. Think of it as a little teaser before the full interview drops! While we don’t know exactly what she was asked, here’s what Yue had to say in response: “It is what it is, right? Not everyone has taste. But don’t worry, there are plenty of other awards we’ve been nominated for, and I’m sure we’ll win some of those.”

Okay, I guess it’s not too hard to guess what the question was. But what she said! Don't forget to vote for Pick Me in all those other awards we all know about.

BEHIND THE SCENES

This third photo is pretty self-explanatory. Just take a moment to appreciate her beauty and her talent for looking effortlessly gorgeous in every shot!

OUTFIT APPRECIATION

According to Yue herself, this stunning dress is from Fancì Club. It’s not the first time she’s collaborated with this brand, which has become such an essential part of her identity as an artist. It’s just so Yue! The color, the shape of the dress, the flowers—absolutely fabulous!

#YUKO 4 EVER!

You can't have a recap of the night without a pic of our two dolls! Once again, the photo speaks for itself. What’s interesting, though, is that unlike Yue, Kiko hasn’t posted any photos with her friend and leader. I wonder why.

...ANTIVILLAIN'S HANSE? (@disgracefiles)

I have to admit, this photo has left me the most shook of the six. Here we have none other than one of the hottest boys of the moment, Choi Hanse, who just so happens to be Jules’s ex-groupmate from 2LUVU. So, I guess it shouldn’t be a shock that these two know each other and seem to get along. Or should it? Given the recent tension between Yue and Jules, things are a bit muddled—especially with that half-heart gesture Yue is throwing at him!

PINK (BY PINK) MENTION

I love this little clip of Kiko's outfit! Since there's no audio, I’ll share the transcription of Kiko's response to Cleo about the dress: “I’m wearing Pink by Pink. It’s my groupmate’s very own brand, she’s literally so talented! We worked together on this dress for the last month, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I think it’s so me, and I really like that.”

PD48 REUNION (@snspice & @ratedstar)

No, this is not a drill! We’ve had a Produce 48 reunion at these awards, and it was absolutely heartwarming! If you found yourself tearing up when you saw it, you’re not alone—I did too! It happens to the best of us.

Several clips have captured Kiko, SNS' Nami and Jellib's Jooe wandering around the event, hand in hand, beaming with joy. This particular photo was snapped on the red carpet, right after Kiko and Jooe sprinted over to Nami, who was busy posing with her group. They enveloped her in a hug filled with laughter and happy tears. I adore these three so much, they hold a special place in my heart!

SHE'S JUST A FANGIRL (@venusvity)

Despite everything, this has to be my favorite photo. No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you—it's a pic of Kiko holding a snapshot of our favorite it girl, Baebi. But it’s not just any photo; it’s signed! Rumor has it that Kiko approached her during one of the commercial breaks at the awards and shily asked her to sign it right then and there. Witnesses say the interaction was absolutely adorable, and Baebi was the sweetest, even inviting both Kiko and Yue to the after-party that Venus was hosting after the awards. Kiko is truly a ray of sunshine and must be protected at all costs!

EVERYONE'S FAV PRODUCER (@allta1k)

Not surprisingly, here’s a photo of Kiko with her favorite producer and friend, Heidi from Girls Talk! At this point, we all know these two get along fabulously, but fans have been over the moon to see this picture. They both look stunning and so happy to be together! Speaking of the possible future comeback of Pick Me, could Heidi be behind the upcoming songs? We certainly hope so!

BOO BORING!

There’s not much to say about this photo. Just an attempt at an aesthetic shot from the moment Kiko presented the award for Best Discography. Boo! There were a thousand ways to make this picture more interesting, but hey, nobody's perfect!

MORE PD48 (EVERYBODY SAY THANK YOU KIKO)

We’re wrapping up this multimedia recap with a little clip of our three Produce 48 girls sitting together at the start of the awards. Emphasis on "start" because they later had to sit in their respective spots with their respective groups. Still, they gifted us plenty of cute moments throughout the night, from knowing glances exchanged from opposite ends of the venue to sweet little chats during commercial breaks. It’s clear that for Kiko, the highlight of the night was reuniting with her friends. Isn’t that just adorable?

ꪆৎ ´- ₊ naiyana at ficfest !

the soloist made her hosting debut on october 18th, presenting the award for best edit at the ficfest award that night. her appearance turned heads for her first official sighting since her prolonged hiatus starting early march of this year, a dating scandal a few months after, and an alleged connection to the death of a deceased ceo’s wife following suit. nevertheless, dressed in a white floor length evening gown with an exposed shoulder—custom made by celine—naiyana captivated the audience as she kept her words minimal and poised.

to her own surprise, she would also accept the award for best female soloist to loud cheers and rounds of applause. keeping her speech short, she thanked her fans and her company for giving her support.

“ it’s with great humility that i receive this this award. i want to thank everyone who has supported me on my journey, for the fans who have been there for me since the very start and even the ones who are just finding me now. to the conpany for taking a chance on the girl who just wanted to dance. everyone else nominated for this award are just as — and even more — talented. each one of us have poured our hearts and souls into our crafts.. and each nomination is a recognition of that dedication. i’m just grateful to have been chosen to receive it. thank you for believing in me. ”

it’s safe to say that moonsus and netizens alike were dumbfounded by her speech, with reactions ranging from — she can speak more than five words! — to others asking if glasshouse had sent in a clone to stand in for the usually standoffish and heavily reserved soloist.

NOW TAKING THE STAGE FOR FICFEST'S ENCORE IS THE GLUE OF PUSHING DAISIES, ZASHA!

Zasha gracefully makes her way onto the stage, her movements smooth and confident as she uses one hand to wave to the roaring crowd. She steps up to the mic with a poised smile.

"Good evening, Ficfest," she says in a soft yet commanding voice. "It is such an honor to be here tonight, and I am especially excited to present the Best Dressed Award." She pauses, her smile growing a little wider.

Zasha holds the pale pink envelope in her hand, carefully scanning the crowd before continuing.

"And with nominees like these, I’m honestly not sure how any of you managed to vote," she says with a playful laugh.

"Let’s take a moment to appreciate the style icons in this category—NOVA of Inter-Stellar, BAEBI of Venus, Yuri, Piper of SNS, Harin of Sour Candy, and Ahri of Di-Verse!"

Her voice softens with admiration as she lingers on the last name.

"Now, I’m a bit partial to one of these nominees, so forgive me if I get a little carried away," she teases, holding the pink envelope to her chest with a sweet smile.

Zasha opens the card slowly, building the anticipation.

"And the winner for Best Dressed is… Piper of SNS!" Her face lights up as she claps gracefully.

Zasha gestures for Piper to come up on stage.

"This award was practically made for you. Congratulations, my beautiful Piper!"

CONGRATULATIONS TO PIPER FOR WINNING THE BEST DRESSED AWARD AT 2024'S FICFEST! IT WAS DEFINITELY EARNED 🤍 SHOW PIPER SOME LOVE AT ... @snspice!
