Hey cool people, I know I’ve been super slow with the closed starters that I owe from my call the other day (Still open btw) but I’ve also been super ill and the medication that my doctor has given me has just left me feeling really drained. I’m starting to feel a little better though, so I’ve replied to a couple of open ones for now and I’ll be starting to churn them out / message people for plotting through tonight and tomorrow! Apologies again for being so useless since joining, and thank you all for being so patient!

“honestly, i’m so tired of this shit.” yena scoffed loudly, slamming her drink down on the table slightly more forceful than strictly needed.  “why is the only attention gal.actic can pull bad attention? we’re either irrelevant or getting dragged through the mud by the entire nation it’s not fair.” another frustrated scoff falling from her lips,  she wanted to blame her temper on the alcohol in her drink but truly, she hadn’t had all that much to drink yet, especially not for her standards. no, this was just pure, unbridled rage towards dimensions, or the general public, or both. “everyone was so loud about that stupid be ambitious lawsuit -which by the way, was still ridiculous, literally fuck men and their brittle ego’s- but now someone like u dropped and where is all that attention. exactly, nowhere to be fucking seen. they only want us when they can spew hate at us.” she let herself fall back against the backrest of her seat, arms crossed in front of her chest. “gal.actic has been stuck for years by now, what’s the fucking point.”

Minjoon sits opposite, each line of the other’s diatribe colouring his features with deeper shades of discomfort and concern. Around the room it seems as though a few eyes have been drawn to the pair, but quickly growing disinterested and returning to their own business. Ironic really, given her complaints about the lack of attention and recognition. He finds himself chewing on his bottom ip as she speaks, absently chasing the ice that remains in his glass around with his straw. “For what it’s worth, I really like Someone Like U at least?” He offers once she finishes, as though it doesn’t miss her point entirely. There’s a smile on his lips, a little more unsure than usual. Though he has a lot of sympathy, empathy even, for the Gal.actic girls, he doesn’t know how else he’s supposed to respond. Conversations like this have never been his speciality, barely even comfortable for him, but it’s not like he can turn tail and run now. “There’s… there’s still time for people to wake up. The comeback was only a couple of days ago, right?” He tries to reason, sounding enthusiastic but almost as though he’s attempting to convince himself rather than his companion. “I’m sure people will be on board by the time you finish promotions. Maybe it’s just a slow start, y’know? You guys really do deserve a break.”

With a comeback looming in the not too distant future, the work load this month has been relentless. It’s not an entirely unfamiliar feeling, but one that you never truly get used to. When he’s not in a studio, he’s trying to nail down the choreography. When he’s not dancing he’ posing for their umpteenth photoshoot, and when he’s not doing that Dimensions find some other way to occupy his time. Not that he’s complaining of course; he likes to be busy, hates having to sit still, but this time the loop seems as though it will never end.

It does mean though that he hasn’t had much time to himself, to forget about business and unwind. It’s by pure chance, or perhaps dumb luck would be a better phrase, that the invitation slots into one of the brief moments of reprieve in an otherwise hectic schedule. Minjoon agrees to tag along without much hesitation, eager to do something, anything, other than listen to the same fifteen seconds of Alligator let he begin to the slow descent into madness.

You might not think it to look at him, but Minjoon knows clothes. He was surrounded by them back home, Korea’s own little capital of the fashion industry, even his parents making a career in textiles. Sure, he may not dress up often when he’s away from the stage, but he knows how to, feels at home in places like this. He’s lost in his own world, slouched slightly and sizing up a jacket of his own nearby when he hears the other call out.

“I don’t know, I think it suits you honestly.” He grins as he places his own garment back down and moves towards the other for a closer look. “But if you’re not sure, we could find something else. Shouldn’t be that tough, you could pull off most of the stuff in here. What even is your style though?” He muses, still beaming as he reaches out and rubs the fabric of the piece between his fingertips. “This detailing and finishing on this is really nice… if you don’t want it, I might take it.”

It had been quite some time since he had the opportunity to do something outside of the walls of Gold Star Media. July had been quite the rat race, with memorizing choreography, preparing for photoshoots, filming a music video… Long nights and barely sleep-filled days had come and… quite frankly kept coming.

On this day, however, he had somehow gathered enough strength to wander local shops. It was, of course, always a strange risk to go out by himself, and although he had invited the other idol along, that perhaps only made them more noticeable.

These were the sorts of things that constantly rolled over in his mind, and he had all of his hopes — most definitely — placed on nothing going awry.

“What do you think?” he asked, glancing to the other as he shrugged off a jacket. “It fits well but I’m not convinced it’s my style.”

Throwing out a quick starter call for MJ!

So work has been unbelievably busy this week and I’ve not been able to be around as much as I should have, but now that things have slowed down I’d really love to get some stuff moving with Minjoon! If you like this post I’ll either get a starter together and posted, or pop up to plot something out! If you have multiple characters feel free to comment who you’d prefer. Or feel free to pop up to plot regardless. This might be capped further down the line because I’m weak, but for now it’s open to everyone!!

Hey cool people! I’m Alex, He/Him and stuck in GMT, and I’ve been looking at this group for quite a while, so I’m super excited to finally be here! Honestly I wasn’t expecting to be in the acceptances yesterday so I’m super unprepared right now and haven’t entirely finished his pages yet, but I wanted to throw up a quick introduction for my boy Nam Minjoon (aka. MJ, Alien’s lead rapper, lead dance and maknae). The basics are under the cut, his app can be found here, and I’ll update this later on tonight (Or possibly tomorrow) with links to a full bio, profile and plots. Apologies for the length, I have an unfortunate habit of rambling.

Thank you so much to everyone that’s sent me a message and made me feel so welcome, I’m gonna be responding to everything shortly. I’m probably a little easier to reach over on Discord so please feel free to add me over there at alexmcrw#7717 or let me know your handle! Or if it’s easier to speak through Tumblr ims, that works too. I’d love to get some plotting done and threads going, so if anyone would be interested in figuring something out please come shout at me, or like this post and I’ll fling myself at your inbox!!

Rambling intro over, now on to this clueless idiot.

personality.

The most important thing to know about MJ is that he has a compulsive need to be liked and feel accepted by those around him. He’s always thought that he’s needed to “prove” himself, and the idea of not being able to do that terrifies him.

He just wants people to think he’s cool, when in reality he is desperately uncool.

Low key a nerd and loves the extraterrestrial aspect of their concept. May or may not have introduced himself as MJ from planet Neptune more than once after debuting because he’s an embarrassing dork.

Desperate for affection. Pls love him.

Since joining the company has always felt kind of like an “outsider”, and thinks that people look down on him

Suuuuuper insecure, not that he’d ever admit to it.

Over-compensates for his insecurities and flaws by projecting a loud and energetic persona.

Can be very extra, and doesn’t know when to dial back his energy so can be a lot to deal with. Loses him as many friends as it wins him.

Basically a puppy.

All about that skinship and being your personal hype man, whether you ask for it or not.

Doesn’t really get upset or angry? Just laughs it off and bottles up his feelings like a perfectly healthy human being. Sure that won’t come back to bite him.

Doesn’t really know how to have a serious conversation. He’ll try his best, but responses will almost always be a variation on “Wow, that’s wild”.

Despite the fact that Alien are technically permitted to date, he’s never actually done it. The idea of getting attached to someone and them then leaving him is not attractive.

So instead he just goes through phases of looking at people with heart eyes and then never acting on it.

Takes his career and contract uber seriously. Please don’t insult his work or his group. (By which I mean someone please do that, obviously)

history.

Born October 27th, 1996 in Daegu

His childhood was, in all honesty, pretty average and uneventful. Adopted at a young age by parents who made a living working in textile manufacturing plants, so not much money but certainly not poor.

Doesn’t know his biological parents, doesn’t really care. (Well maybe he cares  a little).

Always been in love with the idea of celebrity, or at least the positive aspects of it, and knew as a kid that he wanted to be in entertainment.

Started auditioning for companies the week after his thirteenth birthday. Didn’t have a spectacular amount of talent, but hoped that charm and charisma would be enough to see him through.

Parents mostly agree to humour him and keep him quiet.

Failed the first seven. Passed the eighth.

Has to beg and plead with his parents to let him go, but wears them down.

When he gets to Dimensions he realizes how lonely it is? And lowkey hates it?

Feels inadequate compared to his peers, and still does to this day

Not as naturally talented as a lot of other trainees, a lot of whom look down on him for it

Tries to stay bright and cheerful, tries to win people over. Limited success on both fronts.

First few evaluations are abysmal, but after a few months focusing on his rapping and dancing he slowly improves.

Has literally no clue what he’s doing when he’s put in the Alien lineup. Tries to match their image, largely fails, has drastically improved since.

Debuts when he’s fifteen (A literal child) and somehow manages to go without disgracing himself or the group completely.

MJ persona not all that different from Minjoon. Fairly well established name in variety these days.

Didn’t really want to go through with the lawsuit, but when faced with the choice between the members and the company reluctantly sided with Alien

The backlash kind of broke him, and whilst the case was ongoing he basically dropped off the face of the earth and became super quiet and insular. Gives him... so much anxiety, and he’s still dealing with a lot of it.

Still a little bit of resentment towards the company and the other members for risking sinking the group, but never vocalised.

Just really wants to escape the shadow of it and rebuild. Trying to be the same old MJ as before, but something clearly different now.
