COLLA3ORATE PROJECT: MAY
Note: This month, idols in all six songs will be either preparing for their songâs release or promoting their song. All idols will also be participating in recording a special physical-only bonus track.
Those involved in this monthâs schedule may earn up to 5Â points total for writing, by the end of June 15 KST (for each song schedule they are a part of):
A solo para of 400+ words based on their May schedule for the COLLA3ORATE project this month (3 points).
A thread of six posts (three per participant, including the starter) based on their May schedule for the COLLA3ORATE project this month (2 points).
These do not count toward monthly limits or toward normal schedule points.
LOVE & LIVE:
For the beginning of the month, the members of the song (@fmdyoohyeon, @fmdhaseo, @fmdsiyeon, @fmdxsuwei) will continue to have sparse rehearsals together up until the release of their song on May 11.
On May 12, the members will attend The Show for their first special promotional stage. The four members will all go to the salon together early in the day before arriving at the SBS studio. They will be granted a waiting room of their own up until they pre-record their stage a few hours before broadcast time. They will not stay around for the live broadcast of the show (unless they have other schedule reasons to do so).
The members will repeat this schedule for all music shows on the 13-18 as well.
During their promotions, each idol will also be guided to take a number of selfies that will be chosen from by staff as photo cards for the physical mini-album for the COLLA3ORATE project.
During their promotion period, the four idols will be informed that they have one more song to record â a special bonus track that will only be available on the physical version of the mini-album all of the singles will be released on. All that is required of them is to record their assigned parts, as there will be no promotions or other activities for these âsecretâ b-side tracks. The idols will be given the demo beforehand and will be scheduled to record one day out of May 20, May 25, or May 31 depending on schedules (the day is up to the mun as long as the muse is in Seoul on the chosen date!). Line distribution for this track can be found here.
End note: This month, no part of their schedule (other than music show stage filming) will have cameras present.

OH! MY MISTAKE:
All idols (@fmdsophie, @fmdsooah, @eunahfmd, @fmdyujin, @fmdyena) chosen for this song will have been informed and sent the full demo of the song on March 15.
On May 10, they will arrive separately at the Gold Star Media building to record the track. As the song will be released with Gold Star Mediaâs resources, most of the preparations for the song will occur at the building. This is their first time working together and the recording session will be filmed, so before they go into the studio, they will get some time to get introduced to each other. Following this short time to mingle, they will be introduced to one of the lyricists, composers, and producers of the song (@fmdjoosung) who will take some time to explain the overall concept of the song. He will then be joined by another producer and a recording engineer to help guide the recording process. The members will then go into the recording booth in the following order: main or lead vocal (chaewon), vocal (naeun), vocal (chaekyung), vocal (jinsol), vocal (rachel), and rapper (yena). All vocalists will record all vocal parts, but the producers present will focus in on parts for each idol that they determine matches their voice well to record more takes of (these parts will reflect the line distribution). The project group members will be treated to dinner by a manager all together following the wrap on recording.
On May 25, the idols will once again return to the Gold Star Media building for a concept meeting. During the concept meeting, they will be given an overview for the anticipated wardrobe and the MV storyboard in addition to more details on the overall concept of the release.
Mid-month, the idols will be informed that they have one more song to record â a special bonus track that will only be available on the physical version of the mini-album all of the singles will be released on.
