#rkoct20eval

One of the best and fastest ways to achieve good results in whatever career you choose to pursue is watching your seniors closely and experiencing things by yourself, that’s why trainees often monitor their performances as an exercise and go through different types of assessments every month. However, some experiences are restricted to those who already passed the trainee stage and became idols, which doesn’t necessarily mean that those still working for it have to wait until the day their dreams come true for a taste. 

This month, while their seniors are preparing for ISAC and their other many activities, trainees will continue working hard and honing their skills through workshops and daily lessons with their coach, but instead of preparing a stage to perform at the end of the month, they will be given the chance to join the sports event. Before they get too excited, this is not some recreational nor P.E. time! Trainees will be there to volunteer and help the staff working for the event as well as support their seniors in different ways. 

When a company coach approaches them to talk about it, trainees will be informed they can choose one of the four activities to help during the event. In case the said activity doesn’t require their help for the entirety of the event, they are allowed to join the fans and watch the games. They will be only attending ISAC recording on the first day, October 24th. 

After the recording is over and both idols and fans are gone, trainees of the Big Five companies who volunteered to help have the chance to play the same games their seniors did and have some fun/experience the event in a different way as a reward for their hard work. They should choose up to three sports they would like to try and form teams with other trainees (different companies are allowed) for an amicable competition before they all head back to their companies and are finally free to go home.

taeyong has always been a fan of isac  — not so much a fan of the athletics part, but more so the interactions of idols together, idols with their fans, idols by themselves. it’s all just basically a glorified gym class with most of the current lineup of k-pop idols  — it’s pretty exciting to watch, admittedly, and it’s even more fun to be included in the year’s lineup of stars.

he doesn’t remember whether he had the choice to enter the events he wanted or if he was chosen for the events he’s doing. he doesn’t remember filling out an interest form or having a talk with either their manager or anyone else, but he doesn’t mind that the events he’s in. he’s not the best at competitive e-gaming, but he’ll try his best for pubg  — he’ll probably just run around the map trying to be the last one standing by default. as for aerobics, he feels like he’s got this in the bag  — after all, he gets to flex his flexibility and his dancing chops, which is always welcome.

As someone who had an expert level of sns management with his own massive social media presence, jongsuk had chosen to help with sns for isac. It was an important job. It had been described by their coaches as an opportunity.

"Behind the scenes of a beloved event should be recorded and shared with fans around the world who couldn’t watch the event live. For this, some trainees will be helping to take pictures and record bts videos of their seniors." They had been told. That simply meant to Jongsuk that he could bring a slightly more professional set up than just his phone.

The sports event would be three days but they would only attend the first day which would be fine and that was nothing to jongsuk in social media terms.

On the day when they were supposed to come and help, jongsuk brought his professional camera so that he could take high quality pictures and video of the behind the scenes. He wasn’t a fansite master but his own knowledge of social media should be enough to make him seem like an expert in his own rights.

He took pictures, zooming on actions and videos of their seniors laughing and having fun between events. He wasn’t always taking pictures, rather he liked looking for good chances. He took a few more pictures, candidly during breaks and scrolled through to see how they came out. Probably by lunch, he'd taken almost 40 pictures and there was still quite a bit to go. He liked the jersey colors chosen for all the seniors and he wntd to see if he could get far enough for a distance shot of all the groups, looking like a rainbow.

     on any normal occasion, nayeon wouldn’t find it hard for herself to make such a simple decision, especially when the options being presented didn’t seem overly difficult in comparison to one another. really, she was always a fan of choice— who wasn’t? now, however, she finds herself at a stalemate with her own wants. everything seemed like it would be a great deal of fun!
