now that base has contacted and gotten confirmation and from the idols who will be involved in base christmas: the magic of the season, the idols will begin to prepare the album this month.
idols not involved in the album will also have the opportunity to film a short video talking about the season or the end of the year to participate in a teaser for the album release during this period.
all prompt completions for this period should be tagged #famedbasemagic1.
in-âverse info
during this three week period, all songs on the album will be recorded. songs 1 through 5 on the track list will be recorded some time between november 1 and november 14 with dates depending on when the artists of the song are available. âall i wantâ will be recorded throughout the week of november 15 to november 21. all recording will take place in a large studio space rented out by the team in charge of the album instead of at any of the companies.
everyone recording on the same song will generally be asked to be present all at the same time for at least one recording session day so that the production team can get behind the scenes footage for everyone on that day. some idols may be called back in on additional days to put down more vocals for songs. at this time, idols may briefly cross paths with other idols as their scheduled recording times run into one another.
all of the idols on the album will also participate in a reality show that will be uploaded to the base youtube channel in ten minute clips to give a more personal look at the âmagic teamâ. this show will involve all of the idols coming together to learn and do various activities related to the holiday season. on november 15, all idols on the album will be scheduled to show up at a large kitchen around 8am, where theyâll all learn from one of seoulâs top pastry chefs and make christmas-themed treats such as designed cut out cookies, gourmet chocolates, bĂťche de noĂŤl, and homemade candy canes. that night around 6pm, the idols will meet back together at a warehouse, where theyâll talk to a man who helps design large christmas tree displays throughout the city (example). theyâll then be sorted in small groups of three or four and be instructed to come up with a christmas tree decoration design of their own. as this is all being filmed, this will be made into a competition with the promise that the best design will be used on a real public christmas tree display.
base is also seeking idols, whether they are involved in the album or not, to film a personal video on thoughts and feelings related to either winter or the end of the year to include in a teaser video for the project. idols participating in the video who are not otherwise involved in the album will be encouraged to do so by management who will have the request passed along to them.
these short clips will be included in the magic of the season video base will be uploaded to their youtube channel to tease the release of the album. in order to be included, the idol must submit a video discussing one (or multiple) of the following topics:
what is your favorite winter or winter holiday (christmas, new yearâs, seollal, etc.) memory?
what is your favorite winter activity?
what is your favorite part of winter / christmas / new yearâs?
what are your wishes for your fans, friends, and family as 2021 comes to an end and 2022 begins?
what moment from 2021 are you most grateful for?
idols will be filmed against a blank wall like in these video examples.

though it is now past the deadline listed on the original post, muses may still be submitted to participate in the project, but you may not join in on writing for the schedules until your muse has been added to the original post.
the âalbum teaser clip self-paraâ listed down below in the points roundup refers to the prompt at the end of the in-âverse info section with the questions the muse must discuss at least one of. this should not be written in interview format since it will not be conducted like an interview. the muse will be provided a number of ideas for what they can discuss (the questions listed) and then are asked to briefly talk on camera about it/them without being directly asked any questions.

for the third (and final) portion of the project, the idols involved in the christmas album will focus on releasing the album and doing mini promotional activities.
all prompt completions for this period should be tagged #famedbasemagic3.
reminder that the open spots can still be taken by submitting here.
in-âverse info
the album will be released on december 20. on december 16, a few days before the album release, the idols on the album will hold a special pre-release listening party at a ski lodge for forty fans. base has opened a special selection process where fans (living in south korea) can submit something such as a letter, cover, or fanart of their favorite artist participating in the album for a chance to win attendance at the pre-release listening party. base staff will narrow the submissions down to about ten or fifteen per idol and will then allow each idol to look through and select two fans to attend the listening party. eight additional fans will be chosen by random lottery.
any currently promoting idols on the album will pre-record their music show performance for mcountdown on the morning of december 16 and will not be present at the live recording. in the afternoon, all of the idols on the album will arrive at the ski lodge where they will help decorate the event room at the ski lodge the listening party will be in. this will be filmed. (this is an example of how the room will be set up and decorated â simple, white, and warm with basic decorations, except there will be sixteen chairs at the front of the room, one for each idol in the album.) the idols will also help to prepare special âgift packagesâ for the fans consisting of goods such as winter snacks, hot chocolate mix, hats and mittens, and posters from the christmas album photoshoot. the fans will arrive that evening and the listening party event will be about two hours. the fans will be asked to surrender their phones and any other recording devices at the door. the idols will play all of the songs on the album for them and theyâll get to talk a little about their experiences. the listening party will conclude with a fan q&a about the album and a mini fansign of the posters in the âgift packageâ.
that night, after the pre-release listening party, all of the idols will be bused back to seoul, where a practice room has been rented to film a special "practiceâ version of âall i wantâ with all of the idols in festive costumes such as santa and reindeer costumes (example 1, example 2). this video will be released as a milestone reward.
the album will not be promoted on music shows but on the day after the album comes out (december 21), the idols will be split into two groups (the first group consisting of those singing all i want for christmas is you and joy â; the second group consisting of those singing dear santa, just because, and the carol). they will go on two separate radio shows where they will chat with the host and give radio show performances of their songs (except all i want). theyâll be dressed festively for the radio shows.Â
on december 30, the whole group will film the final part of their accompanying reality show. theyâll all be taken to a busy shopping district with a film crew and be given their mission: they have two hours to promote their album as many times as they can. promotion can be anything from asking a shop owner to play their song over to shop speakers to buying supplies and making posters to finding a spot to give a free performance of one of the songs. theyâre welcome to split off into smaller groups or stay all together but the film crew will keep track of their âpromotion pointsâ and for each point earned, base will donate âŠ1,000,000 to charity in their name.
at the end of the filming, the idols will take to a stage in a part of the shopping district and perform each song off of the album for unsuspecting shoppers before leaving. videos of these performances by the film crew will be uploaded to youtube later.

for the second portion (out of three) of the project, the idols involved in the christmas album will finish up materials for the album release and will focus on the idea of âgiving backâ.

during this three week period, the music videos for all songs will be filmed and promotional materials will be shot. the music videos for each song will be shot on a day in this three week period that is compatible with the schedules all muses involved and all shoots will be scheduled from early morning to night time. as usual, craft services will be present on set so that no one has to leave for meals.
promotional materials will be shot on november 22. these photos will be used for promotions and will also be included in the physical album photo book. those involved in the project will take photos in their respective song units, but there will also be photos taken of the full group. general promotional photo concepts are as follows:
dear santa: one, two, three
all i want for christmas is you: one, two
joy: one, two, three
just because: one, two
the carol: one, two
full group: one, two, three, four, five
they will also continue to film their mini reality/variety show. last time, they received the gift of new knowledge and experiences, so this time, the theme is to give back. on a day in early december, all idols involved in the project will take a trip to the childrenâs ward of a hospital to visit with the kids who donât often get the chance to see the idols theyâre fans of in person at concert or music show filmings. they will spend a few hours there, talking to and meeting the kids and playing with them.
later that same day, the idols will hold a special surprise concert at a struggling cafe. the cafe usually holds concerts by smaller, independent artists and the concert will be advertised as a festive date night for couples with surprise performers. the idols will perform on a small performance area set up in the cafe and each idol involved in the album will get the chance to sing. an acoustic guitar and a keyboard will be available for idols to accompany themselves or for two musicians brought with them to accompany them on. they may sing covers or their own released songs (but not anything on the christmas album, since it wonât be released yet) and may sing solo or in pairs or trios if they wish. the atmosphere will be more stripped down, without the typical bells and whistles of an idol stage, so there wonât be room for any major choreography. idols will be helping out as workers for the cafe during the concert when they are not performing. this will also be filmed for the reality show.
