young and foolish — debut single , 2019

I’ve finally drawn something! This is a reference sheet for Mauve’s weapon, Accolon. I have yet to decide how the hilt factors in, it’ll probably be a separate attachment that summons the folding blade from the jewel with the star on it, but I don’t quite know for sure yet. The multicolored gems that hang down are filled with the different types of dust that can be summoned to the blade through the chains.

A LETTER TO MY YOUNGER SELF is the solo debut of kim areum, maknae and main vocalist of the popular girl group fruit basket. the entire song was written, composed, and produced by herself. she’s said this was the first song she ever wrote all on her own, and although it’s just a few simple ukulele chords for the most part, it took quite a while to get perfect.

SOLAR (솔라) often stylized as S●LAR is a coed group under STARMAKER ENTERTAINMENT consisting of eight members. their concept would best be described as a space mission themed video game. each member represents a planet, and each album revolves around a certain planet, so the centre of the group depends on the album. the visuals may appear to be dark, but they’re most of the time lighthearted with not much lore attached.

the song is about areum singing to her younger self, when she was struggling with confidence issues as a trainee and didn’t believe she’d debut.

in a few scenes, present time areum is seen in a room with different versions of herself, assumed to be her through different periods in her life. she’s seen doing normal things like hanging up paintings, marking dates off of calendars, reading, and things like that. there’s also a short homage to fruit basket’s last comeback witchcraft, as she’s seen hanging up a picture on the wall from that era.
