Maybe it was the fact that he was tall and perpetually awkward looking due to his long limbs and large stature, but Daisuke had never taken that well to dancing. It was the thing he struggled with most as a trainee, and even to this day, four years later, he still had his issue when it came to dancing. Luckily for him, he wasn’t as bad as he used to be.
Daisuke wasn’t a horrible dancer, but he was nowhere near being the best. He could just barely keep up with his group’s choreography without looking too out of place. He’d learned different tips and tricks on how not to look so out of place compared to his members. Now his flaws were only really noticeable if you were paying close attention to him. And even then, it wasn’t like it was completely detrimental to him and his image. He was a vocalist, not a dancer, so people didn’t expect much from him dance wise. That didn’t mean that he didn’t expect much from himself though. There were very few things that Daisuke hated more than giving a lackluster performance on stage - that included falling short when it came to choreography. Even though he wasn’t apart of dance line, he still made sure to put his best foot forward when learning the moves to their dances.
“Can I have some of your water?” He asked Haneul, settling down on the ground with his back against the wall of mirrors. “I ran out.” They had already been at the dance studio in BC’s headquarters since earlier that morning and it was already midday. He still had a little bit of fuel to get himself through the day, but he could quite literally feel his energy slowly but surely depleting, which wasn’t anything new considering the intensity of their dances.

deadline: november 21, 2021, at 11:59pm est / november 22, 2021, at 1:59pm kst
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-’verse 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. “all i want” 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 “magic team”. 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 they’ll all learn from one of seoul’s top pastry chefs and make christmas-themed treats such as designed cut out cookies, gourmet chocolates, bûche de noël, and homemade candy canes. that night around 6pm, the idols will meet back together at a warehouse, where they’ll talk to a man who helps design large christmas tree displays throughout the city (example). they’ll 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 year’s, seollal, etc.) memory?
what is your favorite winter activity?
what is your favorite part of winter / christmas / new year’s?
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.
mun info
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 “album teaser clip self-para” listed down below in the points roundup refers to the prompt at the end of the in-’verse 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.
any further questions should be directed to the main’s ask box!

what: an interview with haru
when: some point of august?
with: @fmdharu
At this point, doing interviews is almost Sunghee’s second job. Whenever idol life by itself not longer satisfies them — or when it gets to be too much, as idol life inevitably does for everybody who has to live through it, Sunghee even more — they think about their job as an MC, and how little burden they feel in comparison. It’s been close to a year since they started doing it and Sunghee knows that, by now, they are already pretty good at the whole hosting and interviewing thing, improving every single week, whenever they have to deal with something unexpected. And on top of that, it’s fun. Sunghee likes taking a step back, prompting questions and then just listening. There’s something fascinating about hearing someone talking about themselves.
Which is why, out of all the content their manager expects them to produce for base, the interview is the one Sunghee feels more comfortable executing. It helps that it wasn’t expected of them to come up with the themes of the questions in the first place — the other group’s manager passed the topics that would be acceptable for Sunghee to ask about and they just went from there, with some help from their own manager.
Now, sitting next to Haru, Sunghee takes one last look at their notes before the director is signalling the start of the filming. There are no nerves for Sunghee to struggle with as they look at the camera with a smile. “Hello, I’m Catalyst’s maknae, Sunghee, and I’ll be interviewing Cloud’s Haru sunbaenim today,” it’s easy for them to focus their gaze at a point behind Haru’s head rather than meeting the man’s eyes. “Could you please introduce yourself? As well as talk a little bit about your position in group, please.”
honestly speaking he was very enthusiastic about their new album. although the general genre was different from dream chapter: star, a bit darker in its feeling and representationsave for a couple of songs, siwoo thought a lot of the songs were really good and couldn’t wait to share them with the world. so far he thought himself really lucky with the concepts they were doing, for it wasn’t unheard of that some idols ended up with songs that weren’t their style of music whatsoever. there was simply no controlling something like that unfortunately.
but the problem with being in a very performative group as he had noticed with their debut album, was the fact that they had to perform a lot funnily enough. this time they had been informed that four of the new songs would be accompanied with a choreography almost making siwoo pale with the thought of how much effort he would have to put into that. it was doable, that wasn’t the problem, but it was going to be so much work on top of everything else they had to do in preparation. they were certainly not going to be idle, that much was for sure.
they had already been presented with the sample songs and dance videos and begun learning, and although there was still a long time until august, siwoo felt the stress build up as he was the only one still remaining within the practice room at 3 am staring at his figure in the mirror messing the same part up over and over again. it was kind of ironic he thought to himself, he had not too long ago told daehyun not to overwork himself and here he was himself. but he had to be perfect and had to be able to keep up with his group mates. he would never want to be the one to drag the name vive down.
a deep exhale left him before he stepped straight into the refrain for the umpteenth time that night, first going through the steps carefully one by one and then in full speed -- only to trip and fall over his own feet. “fuck,” he cursed out loud and looked at his own expression in the mirror, sour and definitely blaming himself. he however also noticed someone behind him and quickly turned around to see haneul standing in the back of the room. “ah, haru yah...” had he heard that just now? seen him acting so uncharacteristical for the image he was trying to create not only to his fans but also to his members? “you shouldn’t be here at this hour, you should be back home getting your beauty sleep!” he said with a singsong trying to save face.
BC Entertainment have recently released the first set of promotional images for Cloud’s comeback. The group are set to make their comeback with Energetic on August 9. The teasers showcase the group’s bright and energetic image and fans are anxiously waiting for the release.

duri had been very excited about the fact that base had presented him with a contract for a christmas album. he was someone who really enjoys the season, enjoys the decorations, and the music that comes with it - especially that of the older christmas music that comes from the states. so, to get the chance to do a christmas song, he had jumped on it. plus, it had seemed that bc entertainment really pushed for him to sign the contract as well. but, duri wasn’t someone that needed much convincing for it, that was for sure. so, of course, when he would be arriving, a smile would beam upon his face.
duri was someone that was sure to arrive early, going to the meeting point. he had brought coffee and water for everyone that was involved in joy, just because that’s something that’s very much in his nature. plus, he thought it would be needed for the day. you could also always use water when recording. he’s sat there, awaiting for others to arrive. as he hears footsteps, he looks up from the dog videos on his phone, before his smile is beaming. “haru!” he calls out with greeting. “are you apart of joy too?” he asked.
Formed at the beginning of 2021 and debuting on the 19th of April the same year, Vive are Gold Star’s newest boy group. Following in the footsteps of groups such as Origin and Impulse, Vive have already begun to mark their place within the company. With their debut album selling well and their songs charting, Vive are starting to prove they are a group not to be messed with. But what else can you expect when you’re formed through a survival show? Though the group are still surrounded by controversy, they are trying to move past Hot Topic(k) and showcase their refreshing and new sound. With the members having such a close bond, it’s hard to believe that they are only a temporary group.
First formed through a survival show, Cloud has been able to carve out an identity of their own and come out from under the shadow of who came before them. The group have started to mature as the members get older but one thing that remains unchanged is their devotion and dedication to both music and their fans.
