ÆNGELS OF THE SEASON 계절의 천사들 is the pre-debut project created in 2018 to introduce the concept and the members of MIGHTY DEVIL’s newest female trio, hiræth 히라스. this ambitious but unique project consisted of three individual and lore-heavy films, two unique tracks from each member, photo exhibitions, small theater shows, and limited edition merchandise leading up to the group's official debut.

this project not only introduced the members’ styles and visuals to the public, but also emphasized their unique identities and sound through individual films that gained attention due to their distinct and eerie plotlines. each member was revealed under a seasonal full moon before debuting as a full group of three under the full moon of the autumn season. this approach started on JANUARY 3 and continued until the group's official debut on OCTOBER 24 of the same year, gaining significant attention domestically, charting on digital platforms despite being mere debuts, and earning a solid and loyal fanbase of angels who became fascinated by the lore behind their concept, as it seemed the members were luring the listeners to join their "cult" of self-acceptance, love and anger through the feeling of hiraeth.

initially planned as a group of four, former member and leader NARI was removed near the end of summer when her true nature as a bully was revealed to the public. her removal led to her complete disappearance from the industry, and neither the members nor their label have mentioned her since.

despite not participating in any music shows for undisclosed reasons during the period of their debuts, promotions included content such as performance videos, small theater concerts that were sold out within hours, and photo exhibitions set in gangnam-gu, seoul, along with limited edition merchandise and photobooks.

hiræth made their official, and very awaited debut with their successful and critically acclaimed promotional single SOLAR ☼ SYSTEM on OCTOBER 24, earning them their first win as a group, the title of MONSTER ROOKIES, accolades and victories from prestigious award shows and critics.

ANGEL OF THE SEASON: YVAN is the debut single album released on JANUARY 2, 2018 as part of MIGHTY DEVIL’s project, ÆNGELS OF THE SEASON. it was released on the first full moon of WINTER 2018 to showcase YVAN with two tracks and the film titled ANGEL OF THE SEASON: WINTER.

★ . THE TRACKLIST

GLASSY

블루 노스탤지아 BLUE NOSTALGIA

★ . THE PLOTLINE

WHO AM I? the angel of winter, born from a snowflake under a moonless sky in the first plane of your world, celestia. you are new and inexperienced, perhaps a little hesitant while at the palace, and that’s what makes everything more fun, even if it means you doing things over and over. after all, you will never experience repercussions if something ever goes wrong.

LOOP? you think you are no longer inexperienced and innocent, so you strangle your old self and lay them to rest in a pretty casket, dressed in a white and pristine gown. you hold a personal funeral for your old self every single day, repeatedly closing the casket whenever they awaken to your smiling self. one day, you gaze down at your smiling and innocent self surrounded by beautiful flowers and daisies, and you were devastated. why won’t you just leave yourself alone?

FORBIDDEN FRUIT? your forbidden fruit is the strawberry, something you didn’t realize until you took the first bite in the comfort of your bedroom, away from anyone's eyes. you were upset when you liked it, but also confused. why did you eat it? would it be silly to say that the seashell told you to do it?

AM I PERFECT? someone who calls themselves as the palace’s headmaster wants to see you perform. you are not perfect, but you’re enough. now do it, again.

PRINCIPLE? you are enjoying your time here, but you can only hope this is not everything that is. you want more.

MY COLOR? your color is green, only displayed in the skirt of your uniform, but you find comfort in the color blue as you learn more about yourself.

ANGELS? none that you remember. you didn’t see the face of the angel that was being scolded by the headmaster... and there’s something telling you to meet one on the rooftop of the palace.

WHAT DO I CONVEY? you are happy and excited. you are warm despite being being born in winter. you mean well. but you are also scared. you are cold, you are cruel, but you are trying your best.

END CREDIT? you are wearing white when opening the entrance door of what you call home to walk into the dark. you are opening up to darkness despite your pristine persona, because there’s more to celestia, it seems.

★ . THE NOTES

yvan wasn't open about their identity yet, so they were referred to as she/her.

their debut was very well received and celebrated, but there were some critics stating that the songs chosen for their debut didn't do them justice as someone known as a powerhouse vocalist.

due to idols' fascination with covering this song, their b-side track BLUE NOSTALGIA continues going viral every now and then—a humorous twist since it was heavily criticized when it was first released.

they co-wrote GLASSY with fellow member kaia, who contributed to the songwriting for both tracks.

WINTER'S FILM was an energetic and very fun video to re-watch, but it wasn't until SPRING'S FILM was released that angels and netizens started noticing connections between the two. this is where theories began to emerge and WINTER'S FILM's views skyrocketed.

during one of their few theater shows, yvan was seen wearing a skin-colored patch across their arm, raising questions and concerns from fans. they claimed that they were simply covering up a tattoo, but years later, it was revealed they didn’t have a tattoo to begin with. this remains a mystery among angels.

MIGHTY DEVIL released the pre-order link to the limited physical albums of their debut when the ængels of the season era was just around the corner. yvan's single album was the third best-selling album from the ængels of the season series. since it was a limited release, these copies are now quite expensive.

ANGEL OF THE SEASON: POPPY is the debut single album released on MARCH 31, 2018 as part of MIGHTY DEVIL’s project, ÆNGELS OF THE SEASON. it was released on the first full moon of SPRING 2018 to showcase POPPY with two tracks and the film titled ANGEL OF THE SEASON: SPRING.

★ . THE TRACKLIST

INVU

플라스틱 캔디 PLASTIC CANDY

★ . THE PLOTLINE

WHO AM I? the angel of spring, born from a daisy under a sky with three moons in different phases, in the center plane of your world, the otherworldly terra media. you are the personification of a perfect angel: disciplined, grounded, a believer in celestia’s doctrine, and bitter. does anyone know that “mother” personally stopped you from indefinitely cutting out of your perfect and beautiful loop to fall into temptation?

LOOP? you've been repeating the same actions over and over, and now that you're aware of it, it troubles you deeply. but what else could you do at this point? perhaps your life has always mirrored the ballerina trapped in the toy box by your window—an enigmatic presence that speaks to you when you're alone, much like listening to the cassette tape that evokes memories of a better time, one that may never have truly existed, so you keep rewinding and rewinding instead of moving forward.

FORBIDDEN FRUIT? your forbidden fruit is the apple, which you ate with delight when someone placed a shiny one on your plate during a fancy banquet dinner you attended. why did you eat it without feeling guilty? is it because a voice through your headphones reminded you of how good sin tasted? does that mean you've sinned before?

AM I PERFECT? the headmaster applauds every time you perform for her. you are perfect, yet you aren’t content. perhaps you never will be, so keep at it until you're much better.

PRINCIPLE? you are angry and bitter, but after all this time, you still believe in love.

MY COLOR? your color is blue, visible only in the skirt of your uniform and the ribbons in your hair. yet, it's the purple of the crocuses you tend in celestia's garden that truly makes you feel at home.

ANGELS? you don’t remember; you barely pay attention to anyone, instead reminiscing over things that may have never happened.

WHAT DO I CONVEY? you are grounded, tranquil and eerily quiet. you are also exhausted and bitter. you’ve accepted it, everything, but that doesn’t mean you’re content with your doctrine.

END CREDIT? you are on the palace rooftop, gazing up at the dark and moonless sky, reminiscing about the days when you could witness different moon phases back home. you aren’t even surprised when another angel, dressed in a dark green skirt, joins you up there.

★ . THE NOTES

her debut was very memorable due to the stark contrast of her title track against the girl crush craze prevalent at the time. to this day, everyone agrees that INVU is one of the strongest solo debuts in the industry.

poppy produced PLASTIC CANDY by herself and still refers to it as one of her best works to this day.

SPRING'S FILM was applauded for its beautiful and eerie plot, despite its dreamy and tranquil-like visuals. her acting and dancing also received high praise, attracting many choreographers to recreate the contemporary piece of the choreography. INVU recently has gone viral, leading to the creation of a tiktok dance for it by a popular influencer because the original choreography was never intended to be tiktok-friendly.

poppy wasn't the biggest fan of INVU, though, and this is something she revealed yeaaaaaars later when the song suddenly went viral.

everyone and their momma's know the INVU hand sign, though!

poppy's single album was the second best-selling album from the ængels of the season series. since it was a limited release, these copies are now expensive.

ANGEL OF THE SEASON: KAIA is the debut single album released on JUNE 28, 2018 as part of MIGHTY DEVIL’s project, ÆNGELS OF THE SEASON. it was released on the first full moon of SUMMER 2018 to showcase KAIA with two tracks and a film titled ANGEL OF THE SEASON: SUMMER.

★ . THE TRACKLIST

SINGING IN THE RAIN

멜로디 MELODY

★ . THE PLOTLINE

WHO AM I? the angel of summer, born from a seashell under a sky with a crescent moon, in the bottom plane of your world, the normal but abstract terra. you are what they call a rebel, always longing to go past the rules and see more outside the wall they've built around you. you have lost focus in celestia and are mostly interested in what lies beyond. is it because you believe and know you and others can do more than do the same thing over and over?

LOOP? you've embraced the loop for so long that you've grown bored of it, which has made you rebel and change aspects of yourself because, in the end, everything will go back to zero. but you don’t want to continue living that life, no?

FORBIDDEN FRUIT? your forbidden fruit is the watermelon, which you happily ate when it was presented to you. this is something you wanted and needed to do, just as you needed them to sin, too.

AM I PERFECT? the headmaster labels you as a lost cause. no matter how many times you perform for her, it’s never enough, and she makes you do it again until your body gives out. she has no idea you do everything perfectly when you're doing it on your own and for yourself, not for others.

PRINCIPLE? you have faith in escaping from celestia. you believe in creating a new world where you can define yourself without someone dictating how you should behave and live. but you couldn’t do it alone.

MY COLOR? your color is red, seen only in the skirt of your uniform and the faint crimson tint lingering in your hair. but why settle for red when you can be pink?

ANGELS? many, but only two catch your interest: one who peeks through the door when the headmaster scolds you, and another who pricks her finger with a thorn while both of you tend to the garden of celestia together. eventually, you find your way to talk to them.

WHAT DO I CONVEY? you're energetic and eager for more, which is both thrilling and daunting.

END CREDIT? your angels have listened to you, and now the three of you discuss your future, despite how scary it may seem.

★ . THE NOTES

kaia was credited for both of her songs as a songwriter and composer.

the title track SINGING IN THE RAIN was one of the most popular releases during its release period due to its quick-on-its-feet composition, which attracted many people who weren't yet aware of the project to give them a listen. some say the song missed the potential to showcase kaia as an exceptional rapper, but others enjoyed it for her charisma and vocals.

#POPSENSATIONKAIAISBACK trended on twitter for a whole day.

SUMMER'S FILM's gained widespread attention as fans began theorizing about its content, especially after realizing that it portrayed kaia as the one who had been tempting and leading yvan and poppy into rebellion against celestia through seashells and headphones. this newfound understanding led to a significant increase in views and discussions surrounding the film and the other's.

kaia's single album was the fourth best-selling album from the ængels of the season series. since it was a limited release, these copies are now very expensive.

ÆNGELS OF THE SEASON: HIRÆTH is the debut single album released on OCTOBER 24, 2018 as part of MIGHTY DEVIL’s project, ÆNGELS OF THE SEASON showcasing and debuting the highly anticipated female trio hiræth, consisting of the revealed members KAIA, POPPY, and YVAN. it was released on the first full moon of AUTUMN 2018 and includes four tracks: the title track, a promoted b-side, an intro, and an outro. it is considered one of the most impactful debuts by a rookie girl group.

★ . THE TRACKLIST

DEAR YOU

SOLAR ☼ SYSTEM

누구 WHO AM I

DEAR ANGEL

★ . THE PLOTLINE

you three were born representing different principles that the primal woman has: faith, love, and hope, but you didn’t know this until the angel in red told you. you three had to become one and create a new life once you’ve accepted said characteristics, both good and bad. but it was hard to accept that you weren’t as innocent as you thought you were, no?

you believe in yourself and in your dream, but faith without action is simply wishful thinking, and faith without hope is simply daydreaming. you needed poppy and kaia.

love is harsh and requires faith and hope to thrive. while love can endure cruelty, it can also be manipulated into evil. to flourish, love must be bolstered by faith and hope. you needed kaia and yvan.

there is nothing to hope for when one cannot find faith or determination– and love, both for others and for oneself. you needed kaia and poppy as much as they needed you.

anger, however, is what prevents them from fully trusting each other. they trust you, then they don’t, and the cycle repeats. this frustration intensifies within yourselves, reflecting on your "past" and the pressure to be flawless despite past mistakes. but beneath it all, this anger, opposing love, also complements it. anger is love unfulfilled; it is love misguided. it is passion.

and the truth is, they needed anger—they needed anger to yearn for them, for its fervor to guide them to the core of their entire existence: the oppression of celestia.

because you don’t need celestia. you don’t need heaven. you don’t need anyone trying to define you as someone you’re not. what you need is self-thought and self-love, and the only way to nurture that self-love is to reconcile with yourself, integrating every aspect of your being into one, even if that means giving into anger.

under the moonless sky of celestia, the three of you conjure a full moon by uniting your principles as one, discovering safety, comfort, and mystery in its glow as you flee the palace. venturing through dense woods, you set forth to explore a world beyond heaven and can only hope some will follow your lead to start all over, but on your own terms.

★ . THE NOTES

near the end of summer, a statement was released announcing nari's removal from the group due to allegations of bullying, leading to her sudden disappareance as an artist in the industry. to this day, no one knows what happened to her. their label later issued another statement, requesting that no one discuss the matter further, as they wished to continue hiraeth as it was. angels and knetizens respected the label's request, as they did not support nari's actions when evidence was being shared around by an anonymous twitter user.

the group revealed their name during a press conference before releasing their debut album. after introducing themselves, they talked about their excitement of their debut, their involvement in the album, their intricate concept, and also announced the name of their fandom.

While DEAR YOU is the track introducing you to their life in celestia, DEAR ANGEL is the one bidding it goodbye as they enter a new timeline and plane, but now on their own terms—hence the contrast between the two tracks. just imagine they say angels instead of cupids.

everyone thinks of them when someone mentions the title ROOKIE MONSTERS due to receiving many accolades and acclaim with this album alone. some angels even feared that nothing was going to ever top this project.

promotions were similar to their debut, but this time they performed on various music shows for five weeks, receiving their first win for SOLAR SYSTEM and ten more wins, along with two triple crowns. additionally, their promoted bside, WHO AM I, won against their title track once.

the three of them were heavily involved in the tracks, with poppy gaining the most attention as the composer and the one speaking the lines of the intro DEAR YOU as everyone loved the little notes she came up with to introduce them as a group. to this day, these notes are still adored and brought up when talking about fun-produced songs. angels are still waiting for them to release the full version of it. poppy and kaia were also praised as composers of the outro.

and yes, everyone at ditto entertainment totally regretted losing them three. #EVERYONEPOINTANDLAUGH

in addition to their performances of the single album, their rendition of SNSD's INTO THE NEW WORLD at sbs gayo daejeon, aimed at reintroducing themselves to netizens and other idols, was one of the most talked-about moments of the era since their live vocals, angelic visuals, and chemistry on stage garnered significant attention, cementing their stay in the industry with a bright future ahead.

angels also theorized that their performance of that song was a way to introduce their angel personas to the idol world. everything is a theory to them smh.

ængels of the season's single album was the best-selling album in the ængels of the season series. being a limited release, these copies are expensive but still affordable.
