@fmdyoojin! / #fmddmsq321 a night in new york city.
rather than giving into the feeling that she should let herself pass out, and allow yoojin to do the same, itâs their mutual experience of persisting exhaustion that actually prompts eunah to knock on yoojinâs hotel room door that night. it might seem counterproductive, but eunahâs reached a stage where sleep feels almost like a chore in itself -- itâs something that she does as part of her regular routine of running around from schedule to schedule, not something sheâs able to even enjoy anymore. she isnât sure if yoojinâs gotten there quite yet, but sheâs still convinced that it would do her member good to spend more time out in the city that never sleeps, doing something out of the norm, doing something different.
âthis place is nice, right?â she likes the anonymity its dim lighting provides, a world away from the eyes that were all over them as they danced in times square earlier in the day.Â

setting: animal shelter volunteering, 19 july 2021
with: @fmdyul
âya han yul stop hoarding all the puppies!â yena scoffed in annoyance, looking at how her friend had a multitude of tiny puppies swept up on his arms at this point, keeping them all as close as he could for the time being. out of the options presented, helping out at an animal shelther for some positive press for their label, an animal shelter had been one of the better options. yena liked pets, she didnât have any of her own solely because she doubted she was responsible enough to care for one but she did take a great pleasure in spending some time with the little companions of her friends.Â
what was less great however, was having to do so together with han yul. sure, technically, he was someone yena would consider her friend, her best friend even but dear lord, could the guy be annoying at times. like right now, keeping the puppies they were asked to look after and play with swarmed around himself. âit really is about time you get a dog of your own.â she pointed out, one hand moving out to gently pet the puppy straying furthest from yulâs side. âyouâve been whining about it for forever, ever since you got your own place.â and dear lord, had yena not heard the end of it yet, she doubted she ever would. âalso perhaps it will make you less insufferable at times like this. stop being selfish han yul!â

Dancing has never been an area that Sunghee excelled at, neither has it even been a priority for them. Auditioning into Dimensions, Sunghee had only been thinking about rapping, about making music, about making a living out of music â not about the fact that it would be expected of them to master idol skills just like any other idol. When they started training, Sunghee hadnât had the best time with the dance trainers either, so it had taken them years to properly get into it. And by the time Unity debuted, they thought they were competent. Enough to follow Unityâs fairly complicated choreography with ease, but definitely not coming close to the dance line. Yet, for years now, Dimensions has been pushing them to center more often, down to giving Sunghee dance breaks. Itâs why they had decided to start working out more this year, so they could have enough stamina to keep up, but with 90s love somehow all that effort seems to not be enough.Â
âThey donât collapse in the middle of practice, but itâs almost. Sunghee forces themself to try to breathe, slowing down and counting their inhales and exhales. They tug on their necklace, bringing the chewing toy into their mouth so they can focus on that as they gather themselves once more. But still, they have to kneel down, forehead leaning forward to rest against the nearest surface â which happens to be the side of Samsooâs thigh. âHyung,â Sunghee whines, voice muffled around the toy. âAre we almost over?â

OVERALL COMPANY
The whole company has been booked for a photo shoot for an inside spread in Singles Magazineâs September issue to accompany a feature where creative director Choi Dongwook will discuss the companyâs rise and creative vision. All of the companyâs idols will be in and out of the set that day and will be taking pictures intermingled between groups. (Admin note: there are no assigned groupings for photos OOC, but the shoot director and photographer would make the groupings in-âverse). Due to delays in the finishing touches being put on the Base Culture Complex, BC, Dimensions, and Gold Star have also banded together to get some mediaplay opportunities and good media karma in the name of base by hosting a community service event each month together. Idols are encouraged to participate for good press, but they are not required to.
Important dates:
July 19: Volunteering opportunity at an animal shelter with BC & Gold Star idols.

September 20-22: Chuseok (no group schedules).
September 27: Volunteering opportunity delivering meals to the elderly with BC & Gold Star idols.
GAL.ACTIC
Gal.actic turns ten this quarter, and for it, theyâll be holding two fanmeetings, one each in Seoul and Tokyo. The fanmeetings will be relaxed, with the itinerary consisting mostly of games and answering fan questions interlaced between performances of five of their past title tracks voted on by the fans to be performed beforehand (âSupa Dupa Divaâ, âWould You Stay For Tea?â, âSticky Stickyâ, âAâ, and âSomeone Like Uâ). Theyâll also be performing at festivals this quarter and, in August, theyâll begin to prepare for their next comeback, which is a little different than what theyâve done so far. Theyâll record the single in the latter half of August and focus on choreography.
Important dates:
August 1: Performance at Suwon KT Wiz Supporters Festival in Suwon (also performing: Lipstick and Aria).
August 4: Performance at Daegu Chimaek Festival in Daegu (also performing: BEE, Lipstick, & Silhouette).
August 28: 10th Anniversary Fanmeeting at V-Hall Hongdae in Seoul.
September 4: 10th Anniversary Fanmeeting at K-Stage O! in Tokyo, Japan.
September 26: Performance at Hallyu Dream Concert in Gyeongju (also performing: Decipher, BEE, Lipstick, Knight, CHARM, Chroma Crystal, Alien, MARS, Lucid, Silhouette, Aria, Origin, Impulse, and Fuse.)
ALIEN
July is full of preparations, both for their upcoming comeback and their upcoming Japanese tour. They make their comeback in mid-August and while the songs werenât chosen with the intention to appeal to the general public, they garner attention from more non-fans than usual and Alien finds themselves charting higher than they have since before their lawsuit. The interest they manage to gain from outside of their fandom causes some internal plan changes in Dimensionsâ plans for them, but for Alien, itâs business as usual with music show promotions, fan signs, and a couple of festivals before they head out to Japan at the end of the quarter to begin their dome tour.
Important dates:
July 5: Alien Japan Dome Tour promotion materials and VCR shoot.
July 10: New Kids: Begin photo book shoot.
July 14: Alien Japan Dome Tour fittings.
July 25:Â "B-Dayâ M/V filming.
July 27:Â âBling Blingâ M/V filming.

September 26: Performance at Hallyu Dream Concert in Gyeongju (also performing: Decipher, BEE, Lipstick, Knight, CHARM, Chroma Crystal, Gal.actic, MARS, Lucid, Silhouette, Aria, Origin, Impulse, and Fuse.)
MARS
MARS gets the beginning of July off before they go into the studio in the later half of the month to record for their next comeback mini-album already. As usual, this means that the following month, August, is reserved for intensive choreography practice and fittings in the tail end so that they can finish preparing for their comeback in September. In September, theyâll finish off preparing the album and film the music video and teasers before they come back at the very end of the month. They come back too late in the quarter to see long-term of results for the comeback, but it seems âTwilightâ will have a similar performance to their last comeback.
Important dates:
August 22:Â âTwilightâ comeback fittings.
September 2: Raise Us photo book shoot.
September 15:Â âTwilightâ M/VÂ and concept teaser filming.
September 26: Performance at Hallyu Dream Concert in Gyeongju (also performing: Decipher, BEE, Lipstick, Knight, CHARM, Chroma Crystal, Gal.actic, Alien, Lucid, Silhouette, Aria, Origin, Impulse, and Fuse.)
September 29: Release of âTwilightâ & Raise Us mini-album + press showcase, music show promotions continue through October 29.
September 30: Fan sign in Dongjak, Seoul.
7ROPHY
Almost as soon as âUh Ohâ promotions end, the members of 7ROPHY fly out to New York from July 4 to July 7, in part to film a special performance video. The performance video isnât the only reason the members are in town though, as theyâll be dropping by Republic Records in the city, who Dimensions has recently partnered with to sign 7ROPHY on with for further US promotions. The deal will be announced to the press in the back half of July. As soon as they get back to Seoul, theyâll go into the studio to record their next comeback. Itâs another fast turnaround, but the last comeback planned for them for the year and a second attempt at a summer hit. Theyâll be getting the choreography down in July as well, so that theyâre prepared for filming the MV and making their comeback in August. Theyâll spend the end of August and most of September promoting the song through music shows and a few festival performances.
Important dates:
July 2: End of âUh Ohâ music show promotions.
July 5:Â Be Original âUh Ohâ In New York video filming.
July 20:Â âDumdi Dumdiâ comeback fittings.
August 1: Dumdi Dumdi photo book shoot.
August 11:Â âDumdi Dumdiâ M/V filming.
August 16: Muply Special Performance Video filming (to be released: August 24).
August 18: 1theK Take #1 Performance Video filming (to be released: August 23).
August 19: Dingo Music Performance Video filming (to be released: August 27).
August 23: Release of âDumdi Dumdiâ & Dumdi Dumdi single album + press showcase, music show promotions continue through September 23.

September 23: End of âDumdi Dumdiâ music show promotions.
September 29: Performance at Cheonan World Dance Festival in Cheonan (also performing: Lucid, Silhouette, and Fuse).
UNITY
Unity is slated to come back twice in the second half of the year, first with a single and then an album that serves as a part two to the one they already released this year. Theyâll record the new songs on the album (line distribution) in July, and then prepare for their single release with choreography and fittings in August while the members of the CHAMPION subunit also focus on preparing for their comeback promotions. In September, theyâll film the single MV and shoot the teaser photos to prepare to make their comeback with it early in quarter four.
Important dates:
July 26: Performance at Ulsan Music Festival in Ulsan (also performing: Decipher, Lipstick, Knight, CHARM, Aria, Impulse, Fuse, Femme Fatale, and Vive).
August 22:Â â90s Loveâ comeback fittings.
September 19:Â â90s Loveâ teaser photo shoot.
September 23:Â â90s Loveâ M/V filming.
âł CHAMPION
The third quarter houses the bulk of their comeback promotions. After recording the single last quarter in June, they do fittings and the teaser photo shoot in July in between learning and rehearsing the singleâs choreography. In August, they keep practicing their performance and film the MV, and then finally make their comeback in September, promoting through the rest of the month to the very beginning of October. Mid-month, they win their first award as a sub-unit, the Seoul Mayor Award.
Important dates:
July 15: â100âł comeback fittings.
July 28: â100âł teaser photo shoot.
August 14: â100âł M/V filming.
September 2: â100âł M/V reaction filming.
September 3: Release of â100â single + press showcase, music show promotions continue through October 3.
September 8: Pre-filming of performance on Good Morning America (to be aired: September 9).
September 15: Attendance at Newsis K-Expo awards in Seoul.
LUCID
On the heels of the success of âLove Whisperâ, Lucid finishes recording the added songs for their repackage in July shortly after their comeback promotions finish. Another appearance on Immortal Songs 2 precedes that and theyâve made themselves at home after a few appearances on the show now. They donât win, but itâs more exposure, and thatâs what counts. Fittings and photo book shoots from the repackage album occur in August, the same month theyâre going over the choreography for the first time with the relentless hours Dimensions requires of them to keep up their reputation for clean choreography execution. The music video is filmed two weeks before they make their comeback, and while it does well, it doesnât quite get the attention âLove Whisperâ did, becoming the first of their normal realm releases not to peak in the top ten of Gaon since their debut.
Important dates:
July 2: Fan sign in Daejeon.
July 3: Fan sign in Mapo, Seoul.
July 9: Fan sign in Dongjak, Seoul.
July 10: Fan sign in Gimpo.
July 11: Fan sign in Seodaemun, Seoul.
July 14: Immortal Songs 2 filming (to be aired: July 26).
July 15: End of âLove Whisper music show promotions.
August 14:Â âSummer Rainâ comeback fittings.
August 21: Rainbow photo book shoot.
September 1:Â âSummer Rainâ M/VÂ filming.
September 15: Release of âSummer Rainâ & Rainbow mini-album + press showcase, music show promotions continue through October 15.
September 16: Relay Dance video filming.
September 17: Performance at Chinese International Studentsâ Festival (also performing: Alien, 7ROPHY, Silhouette and Impulse).
September 18: Fan sign in Mapo, Seoul.
September 19: Fan sign in Incheon.
September 24: Performance at Sungkyunkwan University Festival.
September 25: Fan sign in Mapo, Seoul.
September 26: Performance at Hallyu Dream Concert in Gyeongju (also performing: Decipher, BEE, Lipstick, Knight, CHARM, Chroma Crystal, Gal.actic, Alien, MARS, Silhouette, Aria, Origin, Impulse, and Fuse.)
September 29: Performance at Cheonan World Dance Festival in Cheonan (also performing: 7ROPHY, Silhouette, and Fuse).
summary: thereâs a huge decrease of jaeinâs presence in summer rain so sheâs a Happy GirlÂ
date: early august
location:Â dimensions building
word count:Â 423Â words Â
ooc note: n/a
comeback after comeback had become a definite thing for jaein since lucidâs debut. dimensions hadnât been shy since the beginning about how much they wanted to use their whole double realm thing to push the girls into being busy. it didnât help that jaein had a solo comeback coming up at right in between love whisper and summer rain. her mind was filled with different choreographs.
thankfully, summer rain falls on the easier side of their choreography. itâs a lot better than the crazy footwork they had with love whisper, and she appreciates a more mellowed down dance because it usually means she didnât have to spend as long learning it. the girls were all good dancersâshe thinks thatâs something nobody can denyâwhich would mean that their first practice would go quite smoothly.Â
what jaein hadnât failed to realize was how little presence she had with this track. sheâs not complaining at all. frankly, this is everything sheâs been waiting for. perhaps this is dimensionsâ attempt at trying to be nice to her, and itâs surprising to learn that they know how to finally manage one of their artists. with their normal realm, thereâs no denying that sheâd been front and center for a lot of them. the school trilogy especially had been very evident of that. summer rain, while still being a normal realm song, didnât have that same bright energy as their previous songs which may be the reason sheâs been pushed more towards the back.Â
whatever the reason may be, sheâs satisfied with her placement during the choreography and her minimized lines throughout the song. it would have been stressful on her body and vocals since summer rain was coming right after her island promotionsâwhich have also been shortened in comparison to her previous solosâthus she appreciated the generosity from dimensions. the bare minimum, but sheâll take it coming from her unreliable company.
the only worry she has is the response of her fans. there were already complaints from time to time about how their choreography seems to cover a member up completely, and this time around jaein was the one thatâll be in the back and unseen. none of that matters to her, but sheâs aware that fans always want the best for their own idol.
shaking the thought away, she goes back to reviewing the steps that sheâs learned. itâs nothing difficult, and she canât seem to hide the smile on her face at the thought of being practically pushed to the side and back for this comeback.

@fmdyuzuâ! /Â #fmddmsq321Â en route to new york city.Â
eunahâs eyes slowly blinked open, the back of the seat in front of her, complete with its folded up little tray table, emerging in her vision. blurry, the rest of her surroundings gradually materialize around her, as her dry, itchy eyes finally adjust. sheâs small, so sheâs lucky -- the limited space on the plane doesnât bother her much. she rolls her neck around, and silently examines yuzu, her partner for their almost fourteen hour flight. âare you comfortable?â she suddenly breaks the silence, soft voice cutting through the gentle whir of the air conditioning.Â
âyuzu, iâm actually really excited for this trip.â not least because they have tickets booked for a show. as a kid, she always dreamed sheâd end up in new york full time. seattle was good for theatre -- sheâd get cast in a show that opened at the rep, that dominated the season for the length of its run. after that, the show would transfer to broadway, and take her along with it. from there, her career would be set. thirteen year old eunah would probably be satisfied enough with her working mostly in television, with her being an idol when she isnât filming, but twenty two year old eunah still shares in her dreams. âi know we were just in california but,â she shrugs. âthis is much more ... my thing.â fully awake now, her energy is higher than it has been in weeks, and it shows in the way she sits with her back lined up straight and tall against her seat. âi might vlog it or something, like, for my instagram.â
(itâs so nice for him that idols arenât required to smile on set) â âif i have to listen to twilight one more time i might fall asleep.â the repeating song harkens the end of peace. the song is bad. to him itâs bad. maybe itâs an opinion but his own opinion is always the only one that matters to him. âitâs not enough that itâs pretentious as hell, but it also has to be boring.â he had caught ziqi alone unintentionally, but saw no reason to separate now that he had bitching to do. the crew was moving around the cold, elegant filming location. he had a make-up artist standing inches away from his face, lifting his fringe to mist setting spray over his forehead to keep his frown from melting off his bb cream. he continues complaining to ziqi as if there werenât staff there, right in front of him. he and his member didnât agree on much, but this, this they will. heâs positive. âsometimes i wonder what the company is thinking. releasing this after valkyrie... it really stretches the imagination how this is a good follow up.âÂ

itâd be one of the perks of the job â he touches marble, with swirls the color of thunder and gold, delicately mixed atop the cloud white stone â if he didnât hate the sight of it.
marble brings him back to being a kid. spilled milk doesnât soak into marble, or tile. he would throw down his cup as a boy when his step mother entered the room and watch the way the plastic top shattered against the cold, hard ground. the liquid inside would spray, heâd cry (in sheer defiance, not in sorrow) and heâd wait. his mother as he wanted to know her, looked at the spill and that was the end of it. âiâll have someone clean it.â she had said. there was no worrying about stains. it didnât even warrant her attention. the look he got was as temporary as the spill before she left him there in his chair, feet dangling above the ground and arms stretched out. hoping for anything.
the fans like when mars does high fashion, elegant concepts. twilight is all about that. elegance. like a prince, like the twists of gold on marble, his suit was dark fabric with golden trims. itâs a gift that posing for pictures doesnât require him to smile (a primary reason it was one of his favorite activities in his career), because it wouldnât give good results.
the photoshoot goes very well. the weather is mild, and the setting reminds him of home. the shoot goes well, but thatâs the only part. he checks out half way through the entire thing. and itâs lucky for him that no one cares how he feels, not unless itâs directly effecting performance. how avant-garde is his frowning face all day? carved in stone the same as the cathedral inspired designs. itâs bullshit â itâs better when the marble gives away to hard, faded and mossy concrete for the shooting location. itâs total bullshit. he doesnât have to think about how much he hates the coldness of decadence. beauty in expense, absolute bullshit.
some days it feels like heâs gone too far from home. other days, itâs complete shit.
alright fine, itâs always bullshit. but his life is bullshit now isnât it? mars concepts always ended up being so different, from one to the next, so heâs a fucking idiot to expect them all to hit that sweet spot. like take me higher, like error, like voodoo-doll. but when heâs done for the day and taking off his wardrobe for the day all he can think of is how pretentious it all is.
