#(kt's hair is the same length in both scenes)

Katie Lee watches the girls carefully with the signature smirk on her face. The vibe the song gives off makes it a bit weird to watch without a dance to go along with it or just any sort of bigger movement. Three minutes go by slower like this and the heavy air that her gaze brings makes the room feel a bit too quiet, even if the background music was playing all around them. It turns worst when the song ends.

“Well, your vocal abilities are certainly good.” The line of her lips doesn’t waver too much as she speaks. “Our vocal line is very good and Suji has gotten better; Jennie will finally get to show her rap. I’m glad Minji handled her high note well, and adlibs were never a problem to Haseul. As good as your vocal abilities are… there are two things I must comment on.”

She uncrosses her legs only to cross them again towards the other side. “This will be quite a change of pace for you considering your last concept. It does not matter, though, and I seriously hope you understand this. Throw away all of your smiles and turn them into smirks; save them for the press. I’d like for you to work on your expressions to make sure you’ll make both a safe and good transition to your second side. Even if you’re only standing when performing like you just did, you must make sure to go along with the feeling of the song. KT artists aren’t called visuals for nothing; that is a compliment and that’s how we take it. You should all show your charisma and this is the best song to do it. Don’t let the makeup and outfit do all the work — that’s your job.”

“And the second point I wanted to make was regarding your dancing.” Katie Lee leans back a bit, blinks, and then continues. “You didn’t show any of it today, which is my concern. It’s easy to sing like this when you compare it to the choreography you’re currently learning. You didn’t promote your debut song in music shows, but you will this time and people will notice if you’re lipsynching or out of breath. I’ve already told your coaches to develop training plans that’ll help you with this earlier today. Of course, we’d love to see some of you get better at dancing overall, but I think that’s in the works, isn’t it? You’ll see the changes in these areas starting tomorrow. For now, keep practicing on what I told you today, as well as the flaws you already knew you had.” The CEO stands up and looks down at her watch. “If you’d like to know… I’ve arranged your first comeback date to be on April 5th. Good luck and… don’t let me down!” She smirks, and then placidly leaves the practice room.

From this point on, vocal practice will be integrated into different parts of their schedule. Dance coaches may ask the girls to do random runs of a full performance to make sure they can successfully go through the choreography while also keeping their voices stable. Gym workout (or the optional yoga) will focus on building up stamina and working on core exercises. On the next Friday, the 8th, the time designated for instrument practice will be spent with one of their acting coaches to help them with their expressions. Any other day, the time slot is to keep on being used as practice for their comeback.

A week later, the girls will record their new songs in the dates as seen below. The girls will go in order of age. The one recording next is expected to wait in the room to make the process as smooth as possible. Once you’re done, go back to practice and tell the next girl to go up.

March 16th — Chase Me

March 17th — Mayday, Trust Me

On the following day, March 18th, the girls will leave to their usual hair salon to get their hair taken care of. If the hairstyles listed below match the one your muse currently has, she’ll have to go anyway for a simple trim and making sure her hair is in good quality. If the current length of their hair is shorter than listed below, they’ll be given extensions for activities.

Anna: Long, black ( reference )

Blue: Long, brown ( reference )

Haseul: Long, black + bangs ( reference )

Jennie: Long, brown ( reference )

Minji: Long, brown ( reference )

Suji: Long, black ( reference )

As better explained in this post, all of the ECLIPSE members will take part in the filming of the SuperStar KTWorld commercials on March 20th. Members are allowed to write the requirements for the specified rewards, but no same thread may be used for both the SSKT requirements and for their March schedule. 

On the 22nd, the girls will head out to an indoor location in Gangnam-gu to have their album photoshoot. This will follow the dark theme of their album so they’ll sport dark makeup and outfits ( references: 1 | 2 | 3 ). The real exhausting part will be the recording of their music video which will start on March 24th and will last two long days.
