WHEEIN [MAMAMOO] | A Close Friend ; Rumored To Have Dated At Some Point

The two met briefly backstage at an award show; their waiting rooms were across from each other

They met again when they ran into each other at the same photoshoot scheduling at the same place

Rowoon was aware of the fellow 95er’s liking of her group and their songs as well as the couple compliments the singer has said on a few solo VLIVES

Very quick to form a friendship that allegedly turned to a hidden relationship

WON [MIDNIGHT SOCIETY] | Friends & Labelmates

Another friendship that was created through them being under the same label

Also another idol that’s like a younger sister to ROWOON

They don’t much chances to hang out with each other as ROWOON and her group are busy with concerts or scheduling variety shows

But the two became friends when acting on the same Drama together; the two weren’t main characters but supporting roles that had a close relationship

LEO & KOI [TAROT CARD] | Friends & Labelmates

The three of them are under the same label so it’s only a matter of time before some friendship is created

The two are a ~year younger than Rowoon, so they’re like little sisters to her

They occasionally hang out together with other members of their respective groups, ROWOON introduced them to the male counterparts of NCT: Dream, 127, as well as WAYV 

They’re also often seen out shopping with each other

BONA [WJSN] | Close Friends ; Possibly Related

Dispatch once took photos of the two having drinks together

Met BONA and other WJSN members when she was at STARSHIP ENT’s building to help with composing an new comeback for MONSTA X

In a 95′ liner group chat with Wheein and HWASA of MAMAMOO, Siyeon of DREAMCATCHER, and Nayeon of TWICE; that’s where the two were introduced

Fans of both fandoms have stated the two seem like they could be related; both idols have stated that it could be possible, that they see the resemblance

STAR [ @iridescent-rec | @dazzling-star] | Friends ; Often Shipped Together

The two met through an award show

They had a few small on screen interactions which caused fans of both women to ship the two

The interactions were small but sweet

The two were sat next to each other in the audience and Rowoon pulled her blanket to cover both of their legs and while the two were walking up the stage to wait for an award show win to be announced ROWOON almost tripped on the stairs to the stage but STAR grabbed her gently on the arm and hand to help her

❝  YOU TAKE A DEEP BREATH, DON YOUR MASK, AND FINALLY TAKE YOUR PLACE IN THE ROYAL MASQUERADE. ❞

 __

TAKE THE CROWN is the international survival show that was broadcasted with the goal of finding the eight (8) girls that would make up SM’s new all female and foreign girl group. The plan was to hold auditions in America and Canada, selecting fifty (50) willing and able ‘trainees’. SM Entertainment had a vision, they knew what they were looking to create; it’s just a matter of who was going to tick the boxes. The eight girls chosen would take their places in the group announced as CRACKED CROWNS. The group was designed and created with the intention of taking over the world. To go global. And they would. It’s just a matter of time.

__

The top eight (8) trainees will be crowned with different crowns; each one referencing a certain key to their new respective kingdom. They’re also given the respective key to the kingdom; keys that hold different ancient relic powers, depending on the said key. Each crown has a small key like indentation where the key clicks in and the power of the keys is multiplied. 

__

Each ‘trainee’s’ identity is unknown for the full course of the show; names and other information given could be factual while others could be made up on the spot. Their identity is shown once all eight spots are chosen as well as if someone gets eliminated. But until then, everyone wears a mask. Even the girls in the same groups are unaware of who their teammates really are. Only basic information is given in the introduction phase, and even some of that could be a lie; it’s up to the girls. In the introduction phase the ‘trainees’ get to decide what they get to tell from their auditions. 

__

Throughout the course of the series there was different group ranks trainees were put in: ACE, KING, QUEEN, JACK, and JOKER. The mentors and hosts of the show are under the title of the ROYAL COURT. 

__

In the end the HEIRS, the viewers of the show and ultimately the fandom name of the group, vote for their top twelve (12). Afterwards one (1) last challenge is presented and the final eight (8) will be chosen.
