Cheritz's changes in staff over the lifetime of The Ssum

I wanted to write a post about this because it was the nail in the coffin convincing me that The Ssum won't get better. I really want to be optimistic, I was for the first year of the game's release. But with how hard they're fumbling June's route, and having some context by seeing the dramatic changes that happen behind the scenes, I don't have any hope for the game's future in its original concept.

So here's a big fat list of credits, comparison of them, and my own stupid commentary.

Credits from 2019

These are in the lyric booklet included in the Teo Love Bundle. Strangely enough, I'm already seeing differences between the 2018 credits and 2019. Uh oh?

As of release + a few months

These screenshots don't feature all the credits, unfortunately. I'm relying on screenshots someone else took because I'm not proactive but hindsight is 20/20.

Changes: Project is no longer managed by Heinrich Dortmann, instead by Juho Woo. Scenario team cut down to 2 people, one of which is a new name (Jooyoung Lim). Art team also cut down to 2 people. Sound is no longer resourced by Songhee Kim, but Jaeryeon Park and ROGIA. All new team of directing assistants as well, it expanded to 4 people but they're all new names. 2 fewer programmers, only one of the listed names was already working.

October 2023 (June's release)

Here's where it somehow gets worse lol.

Changes: A lot. Directing assisted by 1 person. They were not a part of the team credited in the OP. Down to 3 programmers, only 1 being in the OP. Entirely new art team! It's up to 4 people, but all of them are new, even compared to only a few months prior. Down to 1 scenario writer pobrecita (but we're coming back to that). Since I don't have screenshots of the project assistant credits from launch, can't say anything for that, except that Gui Zhenghao is new compared to the OP but the number of staff there remained the same. Flaming Heart is gone for the BGM! He's been working with Cheritz for forever but is gone now. One person from the communication team left, so they're down to 2. That would explain why emails have been slower since October. Only 1 translator, though Cheritz is now looking to recruit new ones.

Important note:

According to Cheritz's post acknowledging their use of gAI, Sujin Ri was not involved in writing season 1 of the game, but IS the main writer for season 2. I won't make a rant about how much I hate what she's writing cuz this isn't the post for that, but it explains why season 2 is so vastly different.

The fact that only a few people (like, in the lower single digits) remain even from 2019/early 2022, let alone who's still around from 2018, is really frustrating for the game. The game started with one vision, but now it's being turned into something completely different. Even the app's functions are inconsistant between season 1 and 2 (and a little so between Harry and Teo). According to an email I got from Cheritz, season 2 takes place a few years before season 1. Just sit with that knowledge for a bit :P. It's like the current people in charge of The Ssum (*cough Sujiin Ri*) couldn't be bothered to keep the original concept in mind, let alone how the timeline would work.

This post was a long time coming, I was caught up in just how bizarre this all is and finding tons of stuff that I haven't even included in the post. Writing this has taken about 3 hours (including the time I spent on a post ONLY FOR TUMBLR TO NOT WANNA WORK PROPERLY WHEN I TRIED TO POST IT SO IT GOT DELETED) and uhhh yeah. Now I gotta wait a few years to ask former staff if their NDAs are expired yet LOL

#the ssum #cheritz #im full of hate and rage

Han Sooyoung looked at me with a confused expression because she didn't know what I was trying to do. Cho Youngran wondered, "…What do you want to say?" "What do I want to say? My mother knew what constellation you would get." "…" "Maybe she saved your daughter for the purpose of trying to use you. She is such a person."

Uh...Dokja?

Hate to break it to you, but you are also "such a person."

You've literally outright said that you've saved a person because you knew they would be useful in the future. In fact, you've done it multiple times. You don't even try to hide it.

is rika from the pokemon champion interview a girl or boy or neither because they are exceedingly attractive. I was hit by the pouring flames and pain started to spread through my entire body.

i accidentally copypasted orv 188 here sorry

…It hurt. It really hurt. My skin cracked from the high temperature and my eyeballs felt ripe.

Jung Heewon endured her tears and kept attacking me. The flames that destroyed evil burned away at my wounds and all my flesh.

I probably would’ve fainted from the pain if it wasn’t for Fourth Wall. Even so, my body didn’t break.

The shocked Jung Heewon asked, “What is going on with your body?”

“…The damage is probably too insufficient.”

The rate of my stamina consumption was accelerated but it wasn’t enough to kill me in the remaining time. I didn’t expect that even Jung Heewon wouldn’t be sufficient.

Honestly, I was at a loss for words. Maybe it was because I was judged to be ‘narrative-grade.’

[The nebula ‘Vedas’ is rejoicing in your pain.]

[The remaining attack time is 10 minutes.]

[The constellations of the nebula ‘Papyrus’ are making a toast.]

This was just the beginning. A huge shock wave spread through the hall and my body started to grow again.

[The third phase of the ’73rd Demon King’ is starting.]

[Your body has become harder.]

We had now reached the third phase. I shouted without feeling panic, “Everybody, stay awake! Do you remember?”

The party members nodded and skillfully changed the formation. However, I could see that Cho Youngran’s Mechanical Gateway Array Method had slightly collapsed from my explosive increase in magic power. In the end, Cho Youngran coughed up blood and sat down. The timing of this was faster than expected. Demonic energy started to fill the whole hall and the party members became weaker as they received debuffs.

Now I had to borrow a hand that I hadn’t wanted to borrow.

[The constellation who doesn’t yet have a name is looking at his incarnation.]

Shin Yoosung trembled after receiving my message and shook her head. My incarnation Shin Yoosung had felt my determination long ago.

‘Ahjussi, I can’t do it. Please.’

I stared at Shin Yoosung.

This was the relationship between a constellation and incarnation. Rather than speaking one hundred words, I conveyed my indescribable and deep emotions just by looking at them. Shin Yoosung finally burst out crying as the violent emotions were one-sidedly passed on.

‘I understand.’

The pain and bitterness in the small child’s heart resonated and as a constellation, I could hear it more than anyone.

Shin Yoosung held the other child’s hand and stood up. “Gilyoung. Let’s go. We have to do it.”

Shin Yoosung’s eyes shone yellow. The characteristics of Beast Master were started to manifest. There was a great trembling in the hall and I soon heard a tearing sound. A giant beast’s snout appeared in the gap.

The chimera dragon. The giant monster that would later become a destruction species flapped its giant wings as it was summoned to the hall. However, the chimera dragon hesitated instead of attacking when it saw me.

[The 2nd grade monster species, the ‘Chimera Dragon’ has refused its master’s command.]

[The 2nd grade monster species, the ‘Chimera Dragon’ feels terrified of the 73rd demon king.]

Blood poured from Shin Yoosung’s nose. She couldn’t control the 2nd grade monster alone yet. I watched Lee Gilyoung and said, “Gilyoung. Think of this as a game.”Lee Gilyoung looked up at me. I stared at the child’s eyes and remembered the words I had once spoken as we walked through the darkness.

It was a conversation that occurred when we wandered together through the darkness of Geumho Station. The moments that passed like nothing became precious memories that returned.

“Even if I die, I will come back. I promise.”

These stories became the power to kill me.

“…Aaaaaah!” Lee Gilyoung howled and used Taming.

[The remaining attack time is 9 minutes.]

The chimera dragon was controlled by the two children’s Taming and started to cry out in pain.

The chimera dragon sucked in all the air around it. The chimera dragon sucked in even my magic and started to open its huge snout towards me.

It was a dark magic power. A huge sphere of light was created between the ferocious fangs. It was a weapon that only a dragon, the peak of monsters, could use.

The Breath. I was hit by the Breath and my body was torn apart again. It was a shock that caused the mind to break down.

Despite this shock, my body was still alive. The party members were shocked by my miserable appearance but they shouldn’t stop.

I straightened my ripped lips and said, “Con… tinue.”

If they didn’t do it now, there wouldn’t be another chance.

[A few constellations have noticed your sacrifice.]

[Many constellations are amazed by your will.] The chimera dragon was exhausted by the use of Breath and its huge body lay on the ground. Fortunately, the chimera dragon sucked in most of the worst of my rampaging magic power but the attack power of the party members were decreasing.

“Damn, I’m out of magic power!”

[The remaining capture time is 5 minutes.]

My preparations for dealing with the 73rd demon king were up to here. So from now on… I should leave it to someone else.

“Kim Dokja.” Yoo Jonghyuk had risen from the stone wall and was watching me.

I saw that Lee Seolhwa was exhausted by his side. She had probably poured all her magic power into healing him. I saw many emotions cross his eyes as he identified me as the demon king.

“Don’t make such an expression. You can’t change what has already happened. Don’t you already know?”

Yoo Jonghyuk wiped his bloody lips and murmured, “It should’ve been me who died here.”

Fortunately, Yoo Jonghyuk was Yoo Jonghyuk. He already accepted that he would have to kill me.

Yoo Jonghyuk rushed towards me with the Heaven Shaking Sword. Every hit made me feel that my physical strength had been reduced. He didn’t say anything but his despair was conveyed every time the blade cut me.

[The remaining capture time is 4 minutes.]

For us, we weren’t even allowed time to feel that despair.

“Let’s end it now Yoo Jonghyuk. Bring ‘that’ out.”

“I don’t know what you mean.”

“Don’t play around. I know you didn’t use it on purpose.”“…If I use this, you can’t be resurrected.”

“That’s why you are going to use it. It would be difficult if I came back again as a demon king.”

“…”

“What if the scenario ends up being ruined? You should stop thinking about it.”

Yoo Jonghyuk glared at me without speaking.

「 Do you have an idea? 」

I just laughed at his question. Yoo Jonghyuk hesitated before eventually pulling out a sword.

The Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds. Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi. It was a sword obtained from Yamata no Orochi in Peace Land.

Yoo Jonghyuk spoke in a somber voice, “I hoped the moment where I had to use this would never come.”

“Me too. However, now is the time.”

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ feels despair.]

[The constellation ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ is sighing deeply.]

[The constellation ‘Queen of the Darkest Spring’ is holding her breath.]

The power acquired by a story will eventually collapse because of a story. My attribute of Eight Lives was derived from the power of Yamata no Orochi. This power was bound to be vulnerable to the weapon of death that killed Yamata no Orochi. Perhaps I would lose all my remaining lives if I was cut by this sword.

Yoo Jonghyuk opened his mouth. “…To be honest, there is no certainty in this. The duration of Giant Body Transformation is over and I’m not confident in my current attack power.”

“Don’t worry about it.”

I could see Shin Yoosung furiously shaking her head towards me.

[The constellation who doesn’t yet have a name has given his incarnation a ‘stigma’.]

There was a dazzling light and my stigma nestled inside Shin Yoosung.

[The stigma ‘Sacrifice’s Will Lv. 1’ has been activated!]

The stigma caused a brilliant glow to emerge from Shin Yoosung’s body.

[The master of the stigma risks his life for others.]

[The attack power of the party is greatly increased in proportion to the desperation of their lives.]

The exhausted eyes of my party members started to become energetic again.

Sacrifice’s Will. It was a stigma that didn’t really suit me. One thing was for certain. My death was now confirmed.

“Thank you for everything.”

[The remaining capture time is 3 minutes.]

The party members were running.

Lee Hyunsung, Jung Heewon, Shin Yoosung, Lee Gilyoung, Yoo Sangah, Gong Pildu, Lee Jihye…

They cried, screamed or were filled with deep anger. Everyone was coming towards me. My vision gradually diminished and all the characters became the landscape. I saw them and laughed.

「 Incarnation Kim Dokja will be killed by the person he loves most. 」

I had forgotten. All prophecies couldn’t be interpreted literally. In this Star Stream, people were stories.

[The constellation ‘Secretive Plotter’ is looking at you.]

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is looking at you.]

[The constellation ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ is looking at you.]

[The constellation ‘Abyssal Black Flame Dragon’ is looking at you.]

[The constellation ‘Maritime War God’ is looking at you.]

As the gazes of countless stars in the sky poured towards me, a story was running towards me.

“Ahhhhhh!”

Parents, friends and lovers were all stories.

[The remaining capture time is 2 minutes.]

This wasn’t the Ways of Survival I knew but—It was a story more wonderful than Ways of Survival.

[A constellation of a small planet is looking at you.]

[All the constellations on the Korean Peninsula are looking at you.]

It was my story. I laughed as Yoo Jonghyuk’s sword pierced my heart.

[Your fate has been realized.]

My body slowly sank down and Yoo Jonghyuk held onto me. “Kim Dokja.”

“It was a really great story. Isn’t that right?”

Yoo Jonghyuk stared down at me silently. I couldn’t find any words and just watched. It was as if I had always been meant to do this.

[The effect of the Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds has destroyed all remaining extra lives.]

[You can no longer resurrect.]

I finally looked up at the sky. The clusters of nebulae were in the centre of the night sky. Vedas, Olympus, Papyrus…

I would never forget what they had done.

Then the sky blinked.

[The constellation ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ doesn’t wish for your death.]

The stars shone brightly as if in response to my will.

[The constellation ‘Abyssal Black Flame Dragon’ doesn’t wish for your death.]

[The constellation ‘Secretive Plotter’ doesn’t wish for your death.]

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ doesn’t wish for your death.]

I looked at the sky and laughed. Due to these guys, I hated the constellations but I couldn’t hate the story.

“Let’s meet again, Yoo Jonghyuk.”

The power of the demon king disappeared and at the same time, strength drained from me.

[The main scenario has ended.]

[Seoul Dome has been freed.]

A small black hole appeared in the air behind me. My body was slowly being sucked into it. My legs, my torso, my arms…they turned into powder and were slowly being sucked in.

“Kim Dokja! No! Kim Dokja!”

At the last moment, he tightly held me by the neck. However, it was already too late.

My vision turned black and I was sucked into an empty void. The eyes of the constellations watching me started to disappear one by one. I was leaving the area of the channel.

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ doesn’t wish for your death!]

In the distant night sky, one star desperately blinked at me.

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ doesn’t wish for your death!]

Yes, you can stop now. Uriel.

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’…]

Thank you.

The stars in the night sky went out one by one and Incarnation Kim Dokja’s story finally ended.

[The constellations of the absolute good system have withdrawn the mark of ‘evil’ from you.]

[Your incarnation body has completely been destroyed.]

[You have failed the scenario.]

[You have been expelled from the scenario.]

[The Star Stream will announce your modifier.]

In the faraway darkness, the Star Stream was quietly whispering to me.

[Your modifier is the ‘Demon King of Salvation’.]

AWW MAN I ACCIDENTALLY COPYPASTED THE ENTIRETY OF 188 JESUS CHRIST

TV Guide 1997.01.23 - 'Solving the H.O.T. Syndrome' (pt. 3)

Scans credit: hot.dataclub.net · part 1, part 2

[The staff behind H.O.T.]

Veteran managers provide a sea of ideas

4 stylists make their image

The SM Entertainment staff that work as H.O.T.'s managers are department head Jung Haeik, deputy section chief Kim Kyeongwook, Park Jaejun, Park Hyun, and Kang Cheolwon. Notably, department head Jung has been in SM for 8 years, managing artists such as Hyun Jinyoung and Yoo Youngjin. It was also these managers' idea to putting an advert in a Korean-American newspaper, which led to Tony An's addition. Their unseen but committed work is what helped H.O.T. become the stars they are.

Go Kyeongmin, Lee Dongwook, Kim Youngae, and Kim Youngran are the stylists who transformed H.O.T. from regular high-schoolers into stars with their own, cartoonish characters. Their coordination emphasized boosting the five members' individual characteristics as much as possible.

As H.O.T.'s main target audience is teenagers, the stylists emphasized points that match up with cartoon characters, and made the members into varied "character goods" in line with stationery's popularity among youth. The members were mainly styled in pastel-colored hip hop fashion to give off a playful image. Kangta was refined into a character resembling the manga Slam Dunk's main character in order to set him off in the eyes of teenage fans. Moon Heejun originally had a tough image, but thanks to the stylists' work he was reborn as a cute, comical character.

With Lee Jaewon, who's the most popular among young girl fans, the stylists emphasized his pure pretty boy concept. In their coordination, they've highlighted characteristics such as his white skin and reserved nature. On the flip-side, Jang Woohyuk's coordination accentuates a rebellious image. This is also why he is made to cover his face with a bucket hat—to express this rebellious spirit. With Tony, they've taken into consideration that he is Korean-American and have given him an intellectual image. Taking advantage of his carefree and playful personality, his outfits have been kept as freestyle as possible.

Jeon Jin-guk speaks about H.O.T. / KBS Variety Production Department

Offers 'peer awareness' to teens - has every talent a star needs

A group composed of good-looking teenagers sang a gangsta rap-styled song about school violence. It already had all the makings of a hit from the get-go, providing teenagers with a sense of peer identity. All five of them not only have unique characteristics that set them apart, but also outstanding singing and dancing skills, which serves to accelerate their popularity further. The 180-degree switch to a cute concept with "Candy", creating a brand new image for the group, also stands out. They have all the elements that can steal the hearts of youths, who've been searching for a new idol after Seo Taiji and Boys' retirement.
