HYDRA SUMMER AU EVENT 2025! ☀️ "ISLANDS OF FIRE, ICE & THUNDER"
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT'S BEEN FIVE MONTHS SINCE HYDRA FIRST LOADED INTO THE WORLD? From chaotic practice rooms to rooftop makeouts, airport breakdowns to on-stage dreams, we've watched this cast of starry-eyed rookies become something real. Whether your muse joined on Day One or got dropped in halfway through a dorm swap, you've helped build a little corner of drama, ambition, and weird little inside jokes that are totally our own.
so, to celebrate HYDRA's half-year mark, and the high heat of summer, we're kicking off something a little alternate, a little unreal, and a whole lot nostalgic. 🌈 This is an ALTERNATE UNIVERSE event unlike any other. So boot up that save file, blow the dust off the cartridge, and get ready to pixel-shift.
✨ WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF POKÉMON. ✨ But not just any Pokémon world, we're throwing it allllllllllll the way back.
Tumblr media
🔮 Inspired by the cinematic legend of Pokémon: The Movie 2000 — The Power of One, your muses find themselves whisked into an ancient, glittering, dangerous new world in a bustling cruise on the way to a fantasy destination. One full of elemental chaos and whispered prophecy (and weirdly aggressive Pidgeotto).
THE SET-UP is totally! One day your muse is grinding choreography, busting moves. The next? They wake up next to a campfire on the edge of a forest, Pokéball in hand, sleeping bag rolled up, and a Crobat 🦇 eating their granola bar.
Suddenly, HYDRA’s finest trainees have been dropped into the roles of Pokémon trainers, stylists, researchers, contest stars, or rangers, you name it, all part of an unlikely crew known across the region as: 🎭 HYDE TEAM — a ragtag squad of bonded weirdos, gifted prodigies, and reluctant icons… just like back home in the real universe of k-pop!
But this isn't just a chill camping trip. Somewhere off the coast of the mainland lies the Orange Archipelago, a sun-drenched island chain that's equal parts postcard and peril. The team is headed there, for what was supposed to be a post-graduation research trip after "Hydra Academy (ta dum tss)." But when you mix together ancient prophecies, mood-swinging weather, and rumors of titanic, sleeping gods? Things get very messy! People say there's a balance being broken. Something elemental is out of sync. The skies flicker. The sea swells. The land trembles. And far across the waves, hidden behind mist and myth, three islands shimmer like jewels in the dark:
🔥 FIRE ISLAND — volcanic, molten, volatile. Home to the legendary Moltres. ❄️ ICE ISLAND — frozen cliffs and eerie silence. Articuno's sacred territory. ⚡ THUNDER ISLAND — storm-wracked peaks. Zapdos rules the skies with lightning.
The chaos they're causing? It’s not random. It's a warning. And if the legends are true… the world needs a Chosen One. Or a few.
👾 SO, WHAT'S THE VIBE? This AU is yours to shape. Is your muse the dramatic Contest Queen with too many glitter Pokéballs? The chill researcher journaling weather changes? The anxious trainer who keeps tripping over Geodudes? This is a Pokémon world through your character's lens, one where they can chase dreams, unpack rivalries, discover their calling, and build new memories alongside friends (and Pokémon) they'll never forget.
🔻 There’s only one rule: Everyone is the protagonist of their own Gameboy-colored adventure.
🧳 TO PARTICIPATE… Fill out the following TRAINER DOSSIER. Think of it like your save file, a place to customize your muse’s AU self with detail, flair, and backstory.

Mystery man? Song Naimei seen out in Los Angeles amid 'HYDE ACADEMY' buzz
On June 27 (KST), GIRLNEXTDOOR member Song Naimei was spotted in Los Angeles alongside a rising influencer and indie band member, sparking buzz across online communities and fan forums. The sighting comes just after her individual teaser for HYDE ACADEMY project was released, leaving fans full of questions.
Some netizens were quick to speculate whether the meeting was personal or professional, especially given HYDE ACADEMY's LA-based filming schedule and its rumored ties to youth culture and music subcultures. "She's filming in LA, she's an idol, he's a musician, maybe he's part of the show or the soundtrack," one fan suggested on an online forum. Others weren't so sure, with some questioning if the interaction hints at a deeper personal connection. "The teaser dropped three days ago and now this??" another wrote.
So far, neither HYDRA LABELS nor GIRLNEXTDOOR's management have responded to the photos or confirmed the identity of the man seen with Naimei. HYDE ACADEMY is set to premiere later this summer, with more teasers expected to drop in the coming weeks.
Stay tuned for updates!
[ + / - ] Naimei is literally living her best life… She's filming in LA, making moves, meeting people in music, leave her alone!!! [ + / - ] honestly she looked so chill and confident even during their airport appearance. this is why people love her and don't care about this, she doesn't try to be a cookie-cutter idol. [ + / - ] She debuted like 5 minutes ago and she's already getting involved in some weird dating scandal?? why are new idols always like this now? [ + / - ] this "mysterious branding" is not working. it just looks messy [ + / - ] if it's for HYDE ACADEMY or a collab, i'm even more excited now!!!! [ + / - ] i never liked her vibe + the outing her and @hdnayoung had to a hollywood party hydra is paying media not to report on? so fishy

Hydra Labels allows ALL TRAINEES to connect with fans through Instagram, offering a personal glimpse into their daily lives, training routines, favorite things, and dreams as future K-pop idols. This initiative helps trainees build confidence in front of the camera while sharpening their communication skills, getting to see real-time interactions from future fans, and experiencing the fast-paced, social nature of the industry firsthand.
To support this initiative, each trainee dorm includes a dedicated AESTHETIC ROOM located near the game room. These private and cozy setups give trainees a comfortable space to take photos. But the company's has six floors with lounges, and the 19th floor. The name of this space is the "Rooftop" and can be used as an auditorium, but mostly, it's a hangout area. Even though it's not a rooftop, the four-meter ceiling creates spaciosuness and stability. It's a place of communication and rest, and perfect for a Instagram selfie.
The company does have guidelines for all trainees to adhere by.
TUTORIAL — Players can send up to FOUR photos for staff approval once a month + a caption, earning +2 FANBASE PTS for post. All photos must be appropriate! While our roleplay doesn’t follow a strict plotline, characters may still face scandals and sending "risque" photos is up to eac player discretion. This tool is here to spark fun, lighthearted interactions and enrich character visuals on the dash.
There is no deadline. Submit photos to @hdsocial but points claim forms won't be necessary. ALL TRAINEES ARE ELIGIBLE. For any help, feel free to reach out—the mod team’s always happy to assist.
