Care to share some facts about the ROs?

Sure!

THE CONSTANT

ᯓ★ J's group, Elysia, is a coed 4-member group (they originally debuted with 5 members). Counting J out of the members, Elysia has 2 women and 1 man in their group with the former member being the 2nd man.

ᯓ★ Elysia spent their early years experimenting with concepts before finding their sound in more elegant concepts. Similar to how VIXX ran (the visuals of the mv for Shangri-la and The Closer are similar to how I Imagine Elysia would be). IZ*ONE is also another group that has similar vibe to how Elysia should feel.

ᯓ★ J enjoys learning different dance styles. They consider dancing as something they still have a long way to understand despite being a good dancer themself.

ᯓ★ J's mom and MC's mom are best friends.

THE NEWCOMER

ᯓ★ K is a fan of Elysia.

ᯓ★ When K was younger, they really wanted to star in a romantic-comedy school drama but they unfortunately got typecasted to the evil roles due to their intimidating appearance.

ᯓ★ K was an avid smoker early in their career, it is why even until now, they have some photoshoots that involves smoking.

ᯓ★ K's last relationship ended a year before the story starts, that relationship lasted for 3 years before K's ex called it quits.

THE ARTIST

ᯓ★ H, regardless of sex, was pretty fixated in doing their best at the military but discovered their talent as an idol while serving.

ᯓ★ Siren, H's group, will match their sex. Hojin is part of a boy group while Hwayoung is part of a girl group. Siren's concept is similar to what the groups AOA and OnlyOneOf releases. It is a 7-member group.

ᯓ★ H is the moodmaker of their group and they always know how to uplift their members.

ᯓ★ H was streetcasted by many different agencies but they personally auditioned and kept on trying just to be in the same company as MC.

THE REPORTER

ᯓ★ S grew up being afraid of loud noises, as they grew older it lessened but they are still a bit sensitive to loud noises.

ᯓ★ S found their aunt's old camera when they were 13 and found their love for photography through it. Their first official camera was a camera they bought when they were 17 with their own saving.

ᯓ★ In the news agency S works in, their co-workers consider their writings an instant hit.

ᯓ★ S cut off their friendship with the majority of their friends as they believe it will protect their reputation.

Hello!

[the-mark-of-a-dying-star]

12 years ago, you were 15 and stood on stage with a nervous smile, excited to perform your debut song.

Critics labeled that move as "stupid," making predictions on how a soloist from a third-rate company can never survive the industry. Yet, against all odds, you won at a music show pretty early in your career.

This opened the door to success. You were able to release albums, hits after hits, won at music and award shows, filmed videos, tours around the world, and even modeling. When you decided to dwell into acting, no one was surprised.

Even when you find it hard to release any content, millions of fans are still there eagerly waiting for you. When did it become so hard? waking up has become a struggle, your manager is back to scolding you like you were some rookie, and your fans are beginning to get worried for you. It doesn't help you're still reeling from being linked to a scanda that shocked the nation. Becoming an idol was once your childhood dream, where did it all go wrong?

⊹₊⋆ play as a tired and depressed K-pop idol-actor on their 12th year in the industry.

⊹₊⋆ choose your appearance, personality, background, and gender preference. you also have to specify if you are known for your singing, dancing, rapping, or acting skills and what type of music you release.

⊹₊⋆ release your last song or last drama (or both depending on your choices!)

⊹₊⋆ navigate through the fall out of your career after a scandal that shocked the nation.

⊹₊⋆ continue to shine like a star or explode like one while trying.

Yoo Jinhyuk / Jieun ( M / F) — The Constant

Long before either you and J were idols, they were someone from your hometown who was hellbent on outdoing you. Your life was a hell, not only was K your age, they were also a family friend and your classmate.  For your entire life, whenever you do something, J will somehow find a way to do it better. It wasn't a surprise that their career as an idol flourished as quickly as yours. You have spent a chunk of your life wondering if you have done something bad to warrant such hatred. If only you could notice the looks J gives you, maybe you'd see there was never a trace of hatred.

Choi Kihoon / Kyuri (M / F) — The Newcomer

K is your senior in the industry, they debuted four years before the public even knew about you. Strangely enough, you and K have not formally met each other yet. There were many instances where you were supposed to meet them and even work with them in some films, but it always fell through. Who would have thought they would become your neighbor? Known for their intimidating looks and villain roles, K is surprisingly kind-to a naïve level. It's a surprise that they have been able to live in a world like this.  Would you give this kind newcomer a chance?

Shin Hojin / Hwayoung (M / F) — The Artist

Your relationship with H is extremely awkward even when you both come from the same company. As an industry senior, you do your best to guide H and their group so that they can avoid all your mistakes and be the best of the best. However, as H debuted later in their life, they are actually older than you. It throws you off. You don't know how to interact with them without sounding rude. Little do you know, you are their muse. The one H means when they write love songs. Can this hopeless romantic have a chance with you?

Lee Sunwoo / Soojin / Soo (M / F / NB) — The Reporter

You should not be seen with them; it will only ruin your career. It is best to stay clear of them. Well, that is what S convinced themselves. They weren't like this before. S was once known for their professionalism and straight-laced reports, up until two years ago. S was the main reporter who made the public aware of a devious crime done by different celebrities. While reporting it to the public was the right thing, S's mental health took a decline. Honestly, S is a hypocrite. They keep on telling you this friendship is a bad look when they're the ones who crave your presence the most. They want to protect you but fear crossing the line between protecting you and abandoning you.

⊹₊⋆ Trigger warnings: Depression, suicide, self-harm, internalized homophobia, and sexism. More will be added.
