These do not count toward monthly limits or toward normal schedule points.
LOVE & LIVE:
On April 6, all idols (@fmdhaseo, @fmdsiyeon, @fmdsooji) chosen will be scheduled to be picked up in a BC Entertainment van from their dorm or private residence to be driven to the BC Entertainment building. Once there, they will begin to learn the choreography for the song they recorded last month. They will learn from one of BC Entertainment’s dance instructors. They will meet a few times throughout the month to practice together under the same circumstances of being chauffeured to the BC Entertainment building together, but are expected to also practice on their personal time.
On the same day, they will be introduced to a woman named Nam Chunhee who will serve as their project group manager for this month and the next as they approach promotions. She will be with them for all schedules from this point onward unless specified otherwise.
On April 15, the project group members will be escorted to a shop in Gangnam where they will undergo fittings for the outfits they will wear in the music video and during stage performances of the song.
On April 19 (after Inkigayo filming), the members will board a flight to New Zealand, where they will spend the night in a large, shared hotel room before filming for their music video the next day. On April 20, they will film the relay scenes, a group dance scene in a field (that does not end up used in the film video), and @fmdsooji’s ending solo running scene. They will return to Seoul early morning on April 21.
On April 26 (after Inkigayo filming), the members will board a flight to Hong Kong, where they will once again spend the night in a shared hotel room between all four of them. The following day, they will film the remaining scenes of the music video including solo scenes (such as this and this), group storyline scenes (such as this), and group dance scenes on a soccer field and a basketball field. The members will stay one more night in Hong Kong in order to finish filming early the next morning before departing for return to Seoul (and all members will arrive before The Show if they need to film for promotions with their group).
End note: This month, behind the scenes content at the music video shoots will be filmed for an M/V filming video. No other part of their schedule will have cameras present.

DRIP:
All idols (@fmdhyejung, @fmdxhaeun, @fmdjynx​, @fmdxlux​, @fmdxyoungjoo​) chosen for this song will have been informed and sent the full demo of the song on March 15.
On April 7, they will arrive separately at the Dimensions Entertainment building to record the track. As the song will be released with Dimensions Entertainment’s 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 (@fmdtaeyong) 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 (eunwoo), vocal (minkyeung), vocal (bada), vocal or rapper (gyeongwon), and rapper (yaebin). All vocalists will record all vocal parts and all rappers will record all rap 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 April 29, the idols will once again return to the Dimensions Entertainment 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.
End note: This month, the studio recording will be filmed. No other part of their schedule will have cameras present.
