#debut concept

So this has been on my mind for a long time really - I think it would be so coOL if this actually happened.

 I mean, remember the Wow Thing collab? Yeah, I wish that was a permanent thing too. In this post I’m gonna take you through the lineup, give the group a name, and also maybe give them a debut album

Before I start, I want to introduce the group's concept. I kinda want my group to be versatile and they should be able to pull off many concepts. I would describe their main concept as "Girl Crush and Badass". I also want it to be very aesthetic and appealing to the eyes. Through their songs, this group conveys messages such as Self-Confidence, Female power, etc.

Group Profile~

Group Name : Meraki 

[(n.) To do something with soul, creativity or love; to put something of yourself into your work]

So since I want these girls to show themselves through their music, and inspire people, regardless of age and gender, I think this name works really well. It means that they pour their heart and soul into their work, for their fans. 

Fandom Name : Elysian(s) [nick-name : Elise(s)]

[(adj.) Beautiful and creative; Peaceful and perfect; divinely inspired]

In the eyes of the group, their fans are beautiful, perfect people, just as they are. This ties together with the overall message they share, and I though “Elysians” would be a good word for the fandom name. I think they would give it a shorter form or a nick-name, like “Elise” [pronounced “el-ees-ay”, or however you like it].

Members’ Profile~

 (Note - this is an all-visual group lolol)

Taeyeon ('89) - Leader, Lead Vocalist, Visual

I want Taeyeon to be the leader, simply because she already has experience, plus, she's the oldest. She's gonna be our Lead vocalist, because, well, she has a beautiful, soulful, golden voice, that can convey a lot of emotions. Plus, I think Taeng can fit the badass concept well, like, I wanna see more of the Taeyeon from the Something New MV.

Amber ('92) - Main Rapper, Vocalist, Visual

Amber's a total badass, breaking the grounds of gender differences. Other than that, Amber is a really good rapper, she can make her voice low and husky, which is what I'm looking for. She also has such charming vocals, like they are so soothing. She's also fluent in English, which helps if the group is promoting overseas. 

Jiwoo ('96) - Lead Dancer, Rapper, Vocalist, Visual

I decided to add Jiwoo because she is made for this concept. Her singing voice is quite husky, and I really like the vibe it gives. She's also such a good rapper, she adds some rasp, and makes it really low so that's super cool. She's a great dancer, like her moves have so much swag and she kind of adjusts her dancing style to match the vibe of the song.

Dami ('97) - Lead Rapper, Dancer, Vocalist, Visual

I think Dami really fits the badass concept, she has a really string image, and her rap is fire. So obviously, she is our group's lead rapper. She has this amazing, hot husky voice that really fits the badass part. Nevertheless, Dami also has really nice, somewhat breathy vocals, with a very interesting timbre, and I'd definitely like to hear more and more of that.

Jamie ('97) - Main Vocalist, Dancer, Visual, Sub-Rapper

Okay, first, STAN JAMIE. Anyways, she has such angelic vocals, that are honestly so rich. But the girl can make it seductive and raspy, like she can GROWL. I think she's got some really good moves too. She could totally fit in the badass vibe, like, check her out on the show "Good Girl". Jamie's a fluent English speaker as well, so she's a part of the English line too hehe.

Soojin ('98) - Main Dancer, Vocalist, Visual, Maknae

To start with, Soojin is a really good dancer and I want her to be the group's main dancer. She has a unique style, and I think her visual fits the Girl Crush concept very well (what I mean is, she's hella hot). About her vocals, I think they're SUPER underrated. They're quite gentle and high, which I think will add some contrast to the songs.

           Debut Album~

Now that we’ve seen the members, I want to show you the album they’re gonna put out. It has a total of 8 tracks, and the title track will be “ME” (originally by CLC), because this song exudes self-confidence and self-love, which is exactly the concept I want these girls to have. Plus, the song is a banger, it’s perfect for a debut track :)

 Debut MV~

So for their mv, I’m thinking of a dark concept, showing feminine power. Kind of like a mafia vibe, except it’s run by strong, powerful, women lol. It shows a story, of how the girls unite to become one strong force, together overcoming the hardships they’ve gone through alone, in this world of harsh standards. They learn to love themselves and share the same message to their viewers and fans, through the lyrics. I made a mood board so you can get the picture [at least I tried to, sorry if it looks bad hehe].

So that’s it :) I put a lot of thought into this, and I made sure I don’t include two members from the same group. Tell me what you think about it, and also feel free to send in requests (lowkey asking you for ideas here). I might also continue this, maybe a boy-group version, idk :/
