(from ayemris 🫧 update 070622: taro!! my friend, brought this for me, from our home, so cute right :D).

new dance-in which Shotaro and Iris aren’t afraid to be friends

Ayami found her self running towards the employee entrance, she was damn late…again and it was torturous this time cause she had to film a vlog with her senior, Kai.

thee Kim Jongin was waiting for her in the company and she still had to get ready, in only one hour.

the manager scolded her already, ever since the woman found her door locked and Ayami was deeply slept.

she saw a middly tall man in front of this entrance and with a mischievous expression she couldn’t help to kick the back of his knees to bend them.

‘taro!’ she squealed seeing her friend, feeling free to speak in their language, he smiled cutely.

‘crazy shit! ugglies can’t be here’ he replied opening the door for her, rolling her eyes she came inside grabbing him by his arm, dragging him thru the halls, the friendship between them wasn’t a secret.

‘i’m in a rush, walk faster damn it’ Ayami said with Shotaro confused by her side, but still picked up the pace.

they arrived to the makeup room and she sat Shotaro besides her, ever since he joined NCT she treated him like her little brother or even a son.

‘are you here for a rehearsal? Is some of our loser friends around? Chenle?’ Ayami asked her friend to avoid the scolding the make up artist was about to start.

‘i mean…kind of a rehearsal, i’ve been removed from NCT’ Shotaro broke down the news in a whole sentence, making Ayami open her eyes hugely.

‘you what?!’ she yelled in disbelief ‘what about my sweet baby Sungchan?!’ she asked jokingly.

‘as well, they told us we are going to be in a whole new group, i was so happy about sharing with someone like Yuta-kun’ taro complained rolling his eyes, it’s not like the mua knew japanese

‘it’s ridiculous, really, i wouldn’t be surprised if someday they took me out and make me go in NCT or something’

Shotario nodded in agreement ‘however, i’m here to meet the other guys, and talk about the concept and all of that’

‘i’m really sorry about all the bullshit taro, i hope you like them’ Ayami pouted, hating to see her friend struggling with the company.

‘i hope it too’ he sighed and got up, checking the time on his phone, noticing he had to go.

‘i’m still waiting my invitation to be in IrisCode’ he joked from the door, teasing Ayami.

‘get a job first babe!’

‘dumbass’ he cursed her as he left.

IRISCODE the show

concept

"IrisCode" is a vibrant variety talk and challenge show where Iris goes behind the personalities, passions, and creative minds of fellow idols.

each episode features a different guest as they dive into personal stories, behind-the-scenes moments from the industry, and play fun interactive games that reveal their “true colors.”

following æspa’s concept, the idea of the iris-the eye, and the perception of it, along with Ayami “superpower”-goes along with the unique individuality of the SM universe.

segments

"Through Iris’s Eyes" – a deep conversation about the guest’s journey and creative mind.

‘you know aeri, i never thought of being here’ Ayami sipped his juice, they were at one of the sets of SM, they looked around together.

‘me neither, i heard about trainees lasting years and i feared i would debuted, and even now i have doubts about if i’m doing it right’

"Color Match" – personality or challenge games to reveal compatibility or fun contrasts.

‘sunbae, you can’t do that!’ she yelled as she saw Kai in splits trying to complete the challenge for food.

as much as a dancer she was, she couldn’t do a split.

she could b-boy her way out tho.

‘yah ris-ah, don’t do that!’ Kai whined loudly.

"Fan Decode" – answering fan-submitted questions or reacting to fan edits/fan art.

‘unnie, the fans are asking…’ Iris picked up the paper and Joy listened ‘Is there a fan moment that truly touched your heart — something you’ll never forget?’

‘i think i cherish with my heart every time we come up with something, as solo or group, the luvies are there, supporting and loving the project’ she stopped to think further ‘but there was this time, the first fansign, we didn’t know if people would go but this one luvie, the first one of all the event, sat in front of me and cheered for me, for us’ Joy looked like she was about to cry, but Iris already was.

"Stage Rewind" – revisiting iconic performances and sharing untold behind-the-scenes stories.

‘my underwear was super uncomfortable there’ Bambam stated bluntly, looking at the performance of Girls Girls Girls, Iris laughed loudly.

more because the SM manager was panicking for the no filter man speaking.

‘and the hair wasn’t?’ Iris joked making Bambam laugh.

‘i was, indeed, uncomfortable, it was awful looking and it’s not like a could speak properly korean to acknowledge that’ he tried to fight for the lost cause.

‘sunbae, they gave me like super thick bangs, like literally half of my hair went there!’
