Ricky, looking through his closet: hey, what should I change into?

Gyuvin, from across the hall and beyond two doors: a better person.

There is something so dark and twisted to me about what happened to Sulli and how also SM managed to sabotage one of its most popular girl groups with absolutely no explanation whatsoever... There were members leaving groups before in SM, so it does not make sense why they kept them under a contract for years and not allow them to have a comeback. What happened to Sulli and f(x) is so mysterious to me. It's the way Sulli was failed to be protected or helped when she was spiraling mentally. Nobody as we batted an eye at how she ended up dating a man she met as a teenager and was being groomed, yet he never got persecuted the same way she did. It's how f(x), despite 4 walls being successful, and still wanted to release music as a group, slowly lost their excitement about the idea of a comeback and instead started showing sad expressions and disappointment whenever their fans asked when will a album be released. To top it all off, the group weren't even officially disbanded by SM. They just left as soon as their contracts was up and that was it.

me, in hell: where is blockberry creative

Imagine BTS in the future giving the same speech of: "there are different ways of cheating, but i hope people would try to make music in more honest ways"

When one of the members accepted & received all the payola the "industry" has to offer, full IN YOUR FACE Chart Manipulation when it didn't make the numbers it was "supposed to" in order to surpass someone like Taylor Swift in the first 24hrs and SO MANY remixes of the SAME English song that it charts as a "full album". (how many vers are there now? 20? )

How are they gonna come up with another CYPHER to satirize the industry and shade capitalism, when one of them fronted in a vlive how much money the company was going to spend on his debut, while doing dynamic pricing for his own concerts, all while giving the middle finger on stage and singing about anti-capitalism.

Thank you Cherry Bullet for bringing the best B-Side kpop has ever known. You will be missed 🥲

Wait if Revali was in an idol group who else would be in it and what would their debut song be, plus theme?? Like would it be the rito like Teba Harth etc or would it be like a mix of people (like Teba and sidon and others etc etc) plus what would their name be just curious… or revs positions you know the drill

u know now that i think about it oomfie i think u were the one who was putting newjeans on my dashboard a couple weeks back i should have known u were a kpopper 🤣 also kpop idol positions are always the strangest thing to me so i had to do a little review LMAO

if you wanna be fr, revali wouldn't want to be in an idol group at all, he wanted to be a soloist. but the managers were like no you would do good in a group, debut in a group first and we'll talk about solo later if you're successful enough. so revali fucking hates all these other guys but he is a good asf actor and is so good at delivering fanservice y'all would have never thought he was praying on his bandmates' downfalls KDJFJKDFK i wouldn't have been surprised if it was actually revali tipping off dispatch to give the others scandals

revali is the main vocalist and dancer the maknae LMAO (transl: youngest) of the group RiTO which stands for "Rising To Own", which refers to the group's belief that if "the sky is limit", they must rise higher to break the limit and go beyond it in order to own their true selves. i think it would be funny if since the word is "rising", fans debate on whether to pronounce the acronym as "ree-to" or "rai-to" and even years after the group's debut, people are still fighting online about how to pronounce it. then you got some freaks who say each letter out loud or straight up skip over the "i" to say RTO. RiTO fans are called "ownwings" because they are the wings that allow the group to rise and break the limit, as well as being encouragement to the fans to use their own wings to fly up and achieve lofty dreams together with RiTO. was that kpop-y enough LMFAO i should be a kpop ceo fr fr

the other members of the group include members leader and main rapper teba, lead rapper lead dancer harth, lead vocalist and visual kass, and leader dancer sub vocalist mimo. ages from oldest to youngest goes as mimo, kass, teba-harth (same year teba is older), and then revali. kass is the face of the group, revali and teba switch between being centers a lot, and revali is their all-rounder. i mentioned having to review kpop positions bc shit like "main" vs "lead" always confuses me, so for my non-kpop mutuals, you can refer to this article for more in-depth explanations.

my instinct was to say that they do a "refreshing" concept ASTRO-style because the rito=birds=air=refreshing, but like... do you Really think teba, harth, revali, and mimo could do your standard run-of-the-mill kpop refreshing concept LMFAOKDJFDK

teba and harth's generally gruff and cold-shoulder personalities throw me off trying to come up with ideas for this, because imagining them as kpop idols is so fucking funny. these guys are the dads who will drop their kids off at the TWICE concert grumpy asf as if they're not going home blasting FEEL SPECIAL in the car like ✋😭 (they would never admit it out loud, but teba's bias is jihyo because he respects how long she was a trainee to achieve her dream and harth's is jeongyeon because he likes how her tomboyish charm sets her apart from the rest of the group).

so just because canonically 4/5 of the group are older dilf characters (yes i think mimo is a dilf), i would say their debut concept at the very least would be something that's dark/mature/sexy? i'm thinking they're gonna do something like a kingsman concept bc i feel like that fits their vibe. like iirc the movie 'kingsman' was super popular in south korea so maybe that's what makes them skyrocket in popularity. RiTO debuts with a fresh gentlemen-spy concept and the music video has a story that eventually becomes full-scale lore throughout the rest of their music.

i mentioned revali being a hating ass little bitch when he has to debut in a group but also consider him being like 16-17 while the other members are 18-21 already. these guys are older than him in an industry that is known to be extremely competitive, full of rivalries and harmful health habits that could crush revali if he's not quick or clever enough :( he's just a baby in this industry tbh. so — and stay with me here — i'm imagining teba being the leader and figuring out that revali is just constantly furious and irritated and seething because he wants to be a soloist and not in a group, so he dads revali a bit as his leader and tries to get to know him and get him to calm down. just revali and teba bonding 🥺 and revali eventually not being a hater anymore and slowly having more brotherly bonds with the other members. he becomes their little baby 🥹🤍 always mussing his hair up and giving him bear hugs and teasing him lightheartedly where revali scoffs and pushes them away, but inside he feels warm because he was an only child with parents who were always working.

imagining baby trainee revali who practices the choreo of their debut for hours until he collapses from exhaustion in the practice room, and teba comes in to tell him to go to sleep just as revali falls to the floor. teba immediately shouts for harth who's just down the hall and then goes running to revali to make sure he didn't hit his head or anything. the kid is sweaty and red-faced from how much he danced, completely conked the fuck out from how exhausted he is. harth comes and they carry him to his bed, and try to wake him up so revali can at least drink some water and see if he'll be able to wash up himself, and the whole experience is life-changing for revali because he's like. why did u do all this. and teba and harth are like ??? you're part of the team, we have to take care of each other? and you're the youngest... we have to take care of you especially. and revali is just wide-eyed and about to cry because what the hell. these people actually care about him??????

also manager kaneli and CEO valoo lmfaodkjfdkj. i'm torn between a couple of ideas for the company name because it's either like (1) RiTO is under 'TBNTH (Tabantha) Entertainment' which is a subsidiary of HEBRA Labels, (2) RiTO is under the company 'hebra ent.', OR (3) RiTO is under HEBRA ENT. which is a subsidiary of HYRULE CORPORATION. however for the last one, that would imply that were i to make link a kpop idol as well (😳), he would be in a company that is also a subsidiary to hyrule corp. not that it matters too much but i just think it would be funny if it was like. revali was from a Big 3 company whereas link was from an underdog company like bighit when it first started out. or maybe it does start like that and link's company becomes a subsidiary under one of the other Big 3 companies (Hyrule Corp, TWILI Industries, and TeRMiNA Labels?). i considered also doing something like RiTO being under [company named after hebra/tabantha] which is a subsidiary of [corporation label named after wind waker dragon roost island] but idk.

i'm not gonna go too into link's presence or revalink's relationship here unless you request it since you only asked about revali and i wanna keep the focus on him for this post 😭 but i think kpop idol!link OR fan!link would be very interesting for this au. like what about link who goes from fan to idol p1harmony-keeho style 😭 imagine if link was making tweets about revali like that one busanwings tweet before becoming an idol LIKE DKJFHDKJFHJDF

if link is only just a kpop idol, then him and revali are for SURE getting into dispatch dating rumor scandals. (for non-kpop oomfs, dispatch is a news company notorious in south korea for stalking kpop idols and dishing out scandals on them frequently). it'll be some stupid shit like "H3RO's Link was seen exiting the Slippery Falcon Cafe wearing a shirt similar to RiTO's Revali. Could it be the two idols are seeing each other?" because dating rumors have actually happened in kpop like that 😭

also consider them getting in a dating rumor, and where revali's managers are furious and revali doesn't want to be involved with this nugu, link is completely starry-eyed because revali is actually his idol and the reason why he pursued being an idol, and his company is actually thrilled because ahaha bad publicity is still publicity, right? especially if it has to do with one of the top groups out there right now!

Just wanted to draw Takeru after seeing a drawing i did of him 10 years ago

[exoexid]

and to this day i still don't understand why f(x) were treated like they were treated by sm. they truly deserved so much more, i hope they're aware of the tremendous impact they had in the industry

[yixiangs]

is the entire kpop industry in shambles rn or am I just on a very specific side of twitter

[emeraldbabygirl]

Like I want to go on twt and show and scream about my groups to everyone because I demand attention and want my favs to be recognized for how cool they are but at the same time I’m gatekeeping them cause they’re my favs and I don’t want people to discover them but I want edits and things and I want people to know how cool my favs are but I don’t want them to get the wrong kind of attention ya’know? Also twt people are mean and I don’t want to waste my time trying to talk about my favs when no one listens and they’re prolly just say mean things. I just want the right people to support my favs lol. I just think my groups are the best and coolest <3

[blessyouhawkeye]

you know what. none of this would be happening if taemin was back.

[chibiloona]

I'm so upset to hear that Cherry Bullet has disbanded. let's continue to support the girls into the future

[cetoddle]

i miss bvndit so much

[kpopulr]

Will miss you, Xeed.

It makes me so infuriated when groups disband so early after debut.

Sometimes the companies are just too poor and find they can't handle promoting a group, but also (I feel) in lots of cases, the companies just don't promote them properly and then this bullcrap happens.

I'm very upset at the news that they'll be disbanding. I mean, come on, they just got two new members!!

I don't manage a group, or run a company, and surely that is a TON of work, yes, but it just really seems like they could do a lot better for these poor groups. Maybe I'm missing something here, but it's always a tragedy for me when really promising groups disband before their time, because the potential to be great was there, so my brain automatically goes to 'their company failed them.'
