(admin note: The date of the first day of filming should have been checked to work around all muses’ schedules with the consideration idols do not attend music shows on Mondays and some schedules may happen on the morning of the day they meet, but if you notice any problems, please send in a message and the date will be fixed!)
Before the first meeting, each pair member will be driven to the filming location by a manager and told whether they are the younger or older “sibling” of their pair, but not the identity of their partner. They will then be asked the following interview questions by their manager and are expected to answer them as if having a casual conversation with their manager. There will be three cameras stationed in the car for different angles of the interview “conversation”.
What are the traits you think you should show as a good younger/older sibling?
What kind of personality would you like your older/younger sibling to have and why?
What might surprise your sibling about you if they only know you as a celebrity?
The idol member will then have their partner’s identity revealed by their manager by playing the message from their audition as linked above (if their partner didn’t say their name, their manager will tell them who it is).
What do you think about your partner now that their identity has been revealed? From what you know of them, what are they like / what do you think they are like?
Following the conclusion of the in-car interview, they will be taken to the location of their first meeting: an apartment rented out by production and set up with mounted cameras where they’ll be spending twenty-four hours together to get to know each other. They’ll be aware that this is the setting and concept for the first day of filming beforehand.
The older “sibling” will arrive first and will be given time by themselves to get to know the apartment, which will include everything the pair might need, like food in the fridge, a video camera and Polaroid camera, board/card games, and pair-specific props like a guitar, a karaoke machine, cooking essentials, video games, etc. based on public knowledge of the interests of each member of the pair. Each idol will also be allowed to bring a single bag of their own full of anything they may need overnight like pajamas, toothbrush, snacks, bonding activities, etc.
Examples of what the apartment might look like are here, here, and here.
The younger “sibling” will arrive after the older “sibling” has had about thirty to forty-five minutes in the apartment on their own.
In addition to everything else in the apartment, each pair will also have also have a “secret notebook” which will include questions and tasks for the pair to get to know each other including the following:
Have three meals meeting the following requirements:
Leave the apartment for one meal mutually agreed upon by both siblings.
For another meal, cook together using what’s supplied in the kitchen.
For another meal, order take out agreed upon by both siblings to be delivered to the apartment.
Take Polaroid photos together as proof of this memory.
Teach each other the point dances of one of your songs.
Use the projector set up in the living room to watch a reel of moments (stages, variety appearances, etc.) from each of your careers prepared by production and discuss your experiences as an idol.
Share your concerns with each other.
A note is included in the notebook including these missions and telling them they should work to achieve every mission by the time they part at the end of the twenty-four hours.
Outside of these missions, the “sibling” pairs will largely have free reign over what they discuss and what they do within the apartment with their twenty-four hours together, although everything should remain family-friendly and image-conscious and idols should not be too candid about any frustrations with their company, their group members, or their fans.
When/if the pair sleep, they’ll sleep in the same large bed like real siblings might do in their childhood.
At the conclusion of their first day together, they’ll do separate talking head interviews before leaving:
Was there anything that surprised you about your sibling during the time you spent together?
What was the most memorable part of the twenty-four hours you spent with your sibling?
Do you feel that you opened up to your sibling or is there still a barrier between you two?
What would you like to do with your sibling next time you meet?

The final number of submissions was twenty with even numbers of muses by gender, so all muses submitted were cast in the show, although the casting process would have been selective in-character. Pairing was semi-random as complete randomization was not possible while still keeping pairs realistic and making sure muns weren’t paired up more than once across multiple muse submissions!
Any questions can be directed to the main’s ask box!

two days before their comeback and yet gold star decided to throw them at some random event. by now, the teaser pics have come out, and she’s seen the response from fans. she’s relieved that the popular opinion seems to be quite positive, and it excites her even more for the comeback. it’s fuse’s first comeback in a while, and though she’d been busy with her own activities, she was still looking forward to promoting with her group.
there was still a while until their performance time, and all the members were hanging around backstage, doing their own thing. her eyes caught sight of miyeon whom she’s been noticing was acting differently. almost like she was returning to a phase that suji liked to believe she’s gotten over. she remembers the hardships miyeon had once things became overwhelming, and she was concerned about whether or not this upcoming comeback on top of several other activities have been similarly overwhelming.
walking over to her friend, she wrapped an arm around her shoulder pulling her closer. “comeback preparations got you a little tired?”

Before filming begins this month, the cast members are informed that the show has teamed up with the Korea Tourism Organization to sponsor the next two episodes of the show and each pair will be going to a city in one of the nine provinces of South Korea to spend a day on a “family trip” with an itinery completely created by the pair themselves. They are given at least a few days to research their assigned city if needed to find places they might want to visit before they are expected to make their itinerary. Assigned cities(/counties) and the dates the pairs will be visiting are as follows:
(admin note: The date of filming should have been checked to work around all muses’ schedules with the consideration idols from the three companies do not attend music shows on Mondays, but if you notice any problems, please send in a message and the date will be fixed!)
Each pair is assigned one tourist spot in or near their assigned city/county that they must visit during their day trip to fulfill the sponsorship with the Korea Tourism Organization, but the rest of the day’s activities will be completely decided and agreed on by the pair themselves during a day of filming taking place before their trip (admin note: the exact date can be decided based on muse schedules) where they will meet in a room at the company building of the younger of the pair. They will be given an hour or two to film themselves planning out and agreeing on an itinerary together. They’re free to do as they please with the obvious limitations of all activities needing to be family friendly, image appropriate, within a reasonable budget, and reasonably able to be filmed. If they’d like to take a food tour of the city, they may do so. If they want to spend all day in the city’s animal shelters except for when they must visit their required location, they’re also welcome to do that. (admin note: A list of possible hot tourist spots in each city/county is linked above to help start out research into specific locations, but muses are also welcome to visit general locations that can be found in most every city like restaurants, shopping, movie theaters, etc. if that’s what they jointly prefer!) The required tourist spots to visit for each pair are as follows:
Knight’s Hyuk & Unity’s Ting - Jaman Mural Village (Jeonju)
Knight’s Woo & Alien’s San - Samsung Innovation Museum (Suwon)
Fuse’s Minjung & Lucid’s Alice - Seoraksan National Park (Sokcho)
Fuse’s Miyeon & WISH’s Rina - Yeosu Expo Ocean Park & Hanhwa Aqua Planet (Yeosu)
Before their planning meeting, each member of the pair will be pulled aside to film a talking head interview:
What kinds of places do you want to visit in the city/county you’ve been assigned?
Are you the type of person who prefers day trips around a city, or is a night in like last filming more comfortable for you?
If you could go anywhere in the world outside of Korea with your sibling, where would you want to go?
Following the planning meeting, at least a few days later, the pairs will go on their trip as they have planned (on the dates listed above). Each pair will have a camera crew and a few producers present during their trip. Production will have already cleared filming at any location they planned and any necessary tickets or equipment for activities planned will have already been bought.
At the conclusion of their day trip filming, they’ll do separate talking head interviews before leaving:
Did you learn anything new about your sibling today? If so, what did you learn? If not, what would you like to learn about them?
What was the most memorable part of the day you spent with your sibling?
Is there anything you didn’t get to do that you might want to come back and do with your sibling off-camera some time? Was there anything you did do that you’d want to come back and visit/do again some other time?
You’ll need to buy your sibling a gift before the next time you meet at the full cast dinner. What do you think you’ll get them?
On September 29, all nine pairs will come together for a joint day of filming at a large apartment rented out by management where they will have an early pre-Chuseok gathering. Anyone who has other group mates on the show is encouraged to introduce their group mates to their sibling, and, in general, everyone is encouraged to socialize and come together for what will be used as a heartwarming ending scene to the fourth episode. At the end of the dinner, the sibling pairs will exchange gifts with each other.

After their trip around Korea last month, the pairs are informed shortly after their Chuseok filming that they’ll be going on either a two day-one night trip or a one day-two night trip out of the country with their partner for the first part of filming for the final two episodes. At the time, they’re told the city and the dates they’re scheduled to travel.
Assigned cities(/counties) and the dates the pairs will be visiting are as follows:
October 18-20 (one day, two nights): Knight’s Duri & Unity’s Jaeyeol - Hong Kong
October 20-21 (two days, one night): Lipstick’s Artemisia & Fuse’s Sooah - Seattle, USA
October 21-22 (two days, one night): Lipstick’s Ruby & Lucid’s Hyoyeon - Gold Coast, Australia
October 22-23 (two days, one night): Lipstick’s Minnie & Lucid’s Wei - Guam
October 25-27 (one day, two nights): Decipher’s Taejin & Knight’s Heesung - Hanoi, Vietnam
October 27-28 (two days, one night): Fuse’s Miyeon & WISH’s Rina - Chiang Mai, Thailand
October 29-30 (two days, one night): Fuse’s Minjung & Lucid’s Alice - Singapore
November 1-3 (one day, two nights): Alien’s San & Unity’s Ting - Taipei, Taiwan
(admin note: The date of filming should have been checked to work around all muses’ schedules with the consideration idols from the three companies do not attend music shows on Mondays, but if you notice any problems, please send in a message and the date will be fixed!)
The aim for this trip is to show how the pair have grown more comfortable together, from a full day in together to a small trip outside of the city to an out-of-country trip. Each member of the pair will be asked to write a letter to the other that they’ll exchange in the final hours of their trip.
Before the trip each member of the pair will be pulled aside to film a talking head interview:
Have you ever been to the city you’ll be visiting with your sibling before? If so, what do you remember it being like? If not, what do you expect it to be like?
You’ve been tasked with writing a letter to your sibling. Do you know what you want to say to them in it yet?
What is the top thing you want to do, eat, or see in the city you’ll be visiting?
Each pair will have relative freedom as to where they go and what they do during their short trip (as long as all activities are family friendly, image appropriate, within a reasonable budget, and reasonably able to be filmed) and a small crew will be sent with them to their location. They’ll stay in a hotel room together (with two beds) at their location for either one night or two nights depending on their assigned trip type. For two day, one night trips, pairs will arrive on the morning of the first date and depart in the evening of the second date. For one day, two night trips, pairs will arrive in the evening or night of the first date and leave early in the morning of the third date. The show will pay for necessities like transportation and food during the trip, but any souvenirs and the like will have to be bought with the cast member’s own money. Each cast member will be given a self-cam during this trip in addition to the camera crew that will go with them.
After all pairs have returned from their trip, the second part of the episodes will be filmed on November 9 at a large house outside of Seoul that has been rented out for the day for filming. This will be the final filming of this season of the show and it will another meeting of all of the siblings where everyone will show off the bond they’ve formed over the course of the show by competing in games against each other. These will consist of physical games like wheelbarrow races and pair volleyball as well as less physical games like charades and paired video games. Not all pairs will participate in all games, but all pairs must participate in a full-group sibling version of The Newlywed Game where the pairs are asked a question about one "sibling” and the other sibling must give the same answer their sibling gave to see how well they’ve come to know each other.
At the conclusion of their final day of filming, each member of the sibling pair will do their final talking head interviews:
Think about the first time you met your sibling. How has your relationship with them grown since then?
Do you feel you’ve gotten to know your sibling better over the course of the show?
Would you like to keep in touch with your sibling now that the show’s come to an end?
You’ve already exchanged letters with your sibling, but is there anything you’d like to tell them now for them to hear when they watch the finale of the show?

Quasar: If you could spend the rest of your life with only one person, who would it be?

Vega: What’s something you’ve done that you wish you hadn’t?
“The easier question would be the other way around, but I’ll avoid the obvious answers. I wish I hadn’t stopped seeing a therapist.”
Sunflower Galaxy: Would you date/make friends with someone out of pity?
“Dating someone out of pity, never. Befriending someone? No, I wouldn’t forge a real friendship with someone solely out of pity. I might reach out to someone because I feel bad for them, but that’s not pity friendship, that’s normal human empathy.”
