KTROOKIES is a pre-debut project by KT Entertainment.

@rkhyeri

location: kt training building. time: ass o’clock in the morning. situation: the contacts in jin sungho’s eyes are burning something terrible.

he doesn’t want to take them out despite having his backup glasses with him,  thrown hastily in his bag one morning months ago when his nose was sore and swollen from his disagreement with chungha and it was just too much of a hassle to try to shove the lenses in his eyes. sungho doesn’t like his glasses. it’s not so much the look of them on that bothers him; he doesn’t like how his field of vision feels boxed in, restricted. 

there’s so many people here who could see him, eyes red and irritated and watery and so easily confused with tears, and some sort of pride puffs itself up indignantly in the young man, refusing to be mistaken for a show of weakness. and yet he really must do something about the lenses, be it take them out or try to clean off whatever little bit of dust or something that is causing him such discomfort.

sungho wipes the leakiness from his eyes away ( they most certainly are not tears ), and turns to a girl he’s seen around countless times but has yet to actually speak to. maybe this one doesn’t hate him, he can only hope. he has no problems with her yet, at least.

oh honey, where do i begin?

i really like the ‘confident’ sorta girl. not to put us down as girls, but i don’t feel like we have that edge this year. so i was sad not to see @rksunyoung this competition. she’s sassy and is hella pretty. her time in the mgas shows she has skill and she’s super quirky!! it’s hella charming to watch. too bad we don’t have too many girls like that this year.

i also wish @rkluna was on the show for the same reason. how can you not say confidence without luna? that girl is a firecracker. she can clearly compose groups and lead them well, but she’s also a natural born performer. y’know when you add too much spice to ya donburi? that’s her. seems tasty at first but bam! explosion of flavours that you enjoy. she’s also sphere’s golden child so i dunno if they’d let her go.. probably not.

theres also a charmin’ unnie called @rktiffxny . girl has vocal chords that would leave the whole damn room shivering. i’m rly disappointed in her the most because she could have won this thing if she went on. she has the most adorable smile too— y’see that eye smile durin’ the mgas? i swooned.

oh! oh! how could i forget @rkhyeri ? lil’ charming girl. sure, we have cute girls (i mean have y’all seen soohyun and dawon? cute as heck!) but this girl could give jieun-ssi a run for her money when it comes to dancing.

last but certainly not least, i wish we saw @rkmin. something sparkling ‘bout that girl. she’s had a bit of scandals but remember her on that inkigayo stage? hella cute. not to mention she has a stage presence that nova isn’t looking after.. ~nova isn’t looking after.. ~hella cute. not to mention she has a stage presence that nova isn’t looking after.. ~nova isn’t looking after.. ~

her energy levels has been sporadic to say the least, emotions on a rollercoaster and continuing to crest and fall as they wish. there’s no regard for schedule or timing or even appropriate moments, because tiffany would rather not be bubbling with energy at 3am in the morning when she ought to steal away as much sleep as possible. the past few weeks were catching up to her, the excitement and the disappointment. she supposes she should’ve expected so when it’s her birthday month but she still feels unprepared, still feels a little odd because of something that was coming back to haunt her. 

the cold way she’d shut down hyeri in the past because of the royal survival show is what made her hesitate in the first place — could she really ask after everything? could she spend that much time one-on-one with hyeri without feeling awkward about all the hurtful things she’d said, intentional or not? she’s apologetic without a clue how to properly apologize. leo called it one of her weaknesses; she was so spoiled that no one truly demanded apologies of her. how could they?

Seulgi was a little nervous and a lot excited to head into the dance studio in Seocho today.  Her instructor at Sphere had arranged with one from KT to put her and another trainee together that they thought would work well for the upcoming evaluations.  This of itself wasn’t too nerve-wracking, Seulgi liked to meet new people and the few that she had met from KT had seemed nice (including her friend Yeri), but this was the first time she was really having someone else try choreography that she had been coming up with on her own.

featuring @rkhyeri

they had been dancing under the scorching sun for about five hours already. eunae lost track of time a while ago, focusing on the routines and gathering all the energy she had left. she had developed and ability to recharge easily, which came in handy at times like these. she remembered doing the same event two years ago, when she was a triple crown trainee. it hadn't been easier then. if anything, her stamina was better now than before. it didn't mean she did not struggle, just that she could handle it better than some of her peers who had either collapsed or seemed very close to.

“I am the best”. 

Not a sentence that confidence-deficient Kim Taeyeon would choose to say about herself, but it being the song that they were assigned from covering a sunbae from TRC, she really didn’t have a choice.  She respected Global Icon and what they had done for the industry, but she had never been a huge fan, it just wasn’t her style.  She’d occasionally listen to their music, but normally more of their slower songs, those were more her speed. 

Standing backstage with torn black jeans and a black leather jacket, her makeup done differently to give her a more intense look, Taeyeon was surprised just how much she looked the part.  She had had to wear much more embarrassing outfits on stage before, this was more casual but tough.  As tough as the diminutive singer could look anyway.

She had worked hard over the last couple weeks to try and get herself into the feel of the song, though she honestly felt that she couldn’t have done it without Hyeri’s help.  Her friend had been instrumental in helping her learn to be more confident on the stage for this song that was so unlike something she would normally pick for herself to perform.  That being said, she was thankful for the entire group.  Soyeon and Yeri, she had known them for a while now but hadn’t really gotten an opportunity to perform much with them other than in practices, but she knew they were talented.  It was nice to see that talent put to good use on the stage.  The newest member of their KT family, Mimi, she brought a wide range of talents that Taeyeon was happy to see added to KT’s skillset.  She had high hopes for the KT girls as they continued on to their hopeful debut in the future.
