‎ ‎ ⋆⠀⠀&.⠀⠀٬⠀⠀(⠀⠀ARSENIC.⠀⠀)⠀...⠀is the first full album (lp) by south korean girl group, letalis. the album was released in both digital and physical form by south korean entertainment company, apricus culture on october 29, 2014.
the album was supported by performances of the title track, "POISON" and two additional promotional singles, "FOR THE THRILL" and "CHECK IT". as the group's first full-length album, ARSENIC received mixed reviews despite its overwhelming commercial success. the group promoted the album for a total of five weeks through music show performances, two seoul concerts, five fanmeetings, and several variety show appearances. the album's title track, "POISON" received a total of 8 music show wins while "CHECK IT" amassed 2 towards the later end of promotions.
despite the album's popularity, critics published mostly lukewarm reviews of the album. most prominently, a common critique was the "repetitive" sentiment shared by critics in both korea and abroad. despite critical favorites "REBOUND", "CHECK IT", "LOVE/OR", and "BAD GIRL" receiving praise for the involvement of contributing members naryun, jiseo, and melanie, other songs were heavily criticized for their recurring themes, genres, and structure. regardless, the group's fanbase would propel the album and its promotional singles onto the gaon and billboard global charts, solidifying the "bread and butter" of letalis' musical character.

ㅤ*ㅤSECTION THREEㅤ:ㅤthe styling.

sticking to the general idea of their previous era, the members each had a personal hand in their own looks. each stage built off the individual tastes of each member while holding on to their cohesiveness. easily one of their most identifiable eras solely off the styling.
Tumblr media
ㅤ*ㅤSECTION FOURㅤ:ㅤthe notes.
a fan favorite era
one of their more iconic albums, def a top three vitalis staple album
people either loved or hated this era (including the girls themselves). there were a lot of mixed reviews among critics and it wasn't secret to the girls.
weird animosity between emmy and juniper starts here. no one really knows why but they were regularly exchanging not-so nice words about each other to anyone who cared enough to listen.
one of their encore stages went viral after they used voice changing microphones with shuffled effects (entirely emmy's idea). still one of the highest viewed encores of all time, a letalis fandom staple video as well. several members were in tears from laughter (emmy, jiseo, naryun) while others were completely stoic (naira, juniper). ironically, this video pretty much sums up their public dymanic pretty well.
lots of controversy surrounding the tracks on the album. towards the end of the promotional period, the girls were visibly tired of performing "for the thrill" which was unanimously voted in a fan poll posted to melanie's fancafe as being the fans' least favorite b-side off the album.
despite how well the title track, "poison" did, some of the girls voiced their varying opinions on what they would chosen instead. snowballed into a weird scandal where they were accused of suffering from "celebrity disease". never ended up being addressed but apricus did tighten the reigns on what the girls were allowed to say/bring up during the rest of the promotions.
the true beginning of the core writers and producers that usually appear on letalis albums. also the beginning of the naryun and trenton rumors (that would eventually be entirely true). it wasn't lost on the public that letalis was gonna stick to what works so these same writers and producers in different arrangement are a staple to their discography.
miss. me randomly went viral in 2020 around the time challenges became a regular occurrence. so in between the challenges for the album they were promoting at the time, they were suffering through doing cute little hand choreo for the song.
naryun, melanie, and emmy gained their first credits on this album!
announced their first asian tour after the end of promotions. cute little 15-show tour, mostly in large theaters and arenas, nothing crazy but a precious memory for all the girls.

↶*ೃ✧˚. RAINBOW Ent at MAMA 2023

Neverland performed on day 1 towards the end of the broadcast. They performed segments of both of their 2023 releases, Sugar Rush and Days Gone By. The performance began with a dance break to a rock instrumental of Sugar Rush, focusing on three units of the group. Youngho and Howie were first, then Jun, Dabin, and Woosung, then Dae and Mako, before they all converged together in the middle of the stage to perform a rock version of Days Gone By. Lost loved their performance, although many wondered why they didn’t focus more on Sugar Rush, the song that earned them their nominations.
Blue of LUCID! ; CHESHIRE! (MAMA version) ; “Goddess Awakened”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Blue performed with Yunjin, Xiaoting, Bada, and Monika in the collaboration stage on day 2, representing the Sphinx. She performed an intense and largely instrumental version of CHESHIRE! prepared especially for MAMA. She first began with a lyrical performance to a monologue over the speakers, before taking her place on a golden throne surrounded by dancers, as CHESHIRE! (MAMA version) began to play. Her dance solo to the song followed the style of the others before her, sharp, angled, and powerful. After she finished her own solo, she began the transition into the group performance, strutting down the stage to an eerie musical tone to join the rest of the women in formation. All five women performed a strong and powerful dance to MAGO by LIM KIM to finish off their collaboration. Blue received a lot of praise for her performance online, having one of the most technically difficult solos out of the group. Her power as a dancer remains unchallenged.
LIKE THIS! + TOO SPICY! ; “WHAT A DAZE!”
Tumblr media
from left to right; blue, minji, chaehee, suyin, summer
LUCID! performed as a group towards the end of day 2’s broadcast. Their performance began with LIKE THIS!, focusing on a small solo performance by each member. Each member had a unique bit of choreography for their piece, consisting of only a few lines, until converging to the middle to finish the song as a full unit. The song then transitioned into TOO SPICY!, marking the first ever ot5 performance of the song. They seemed to be having a fun time on stage, hyping up the crowd, and grinning widely. Towards the end of the song, they broke from their choreography to run around the stage as confetti rained down, encouraging the audience to cheer and sing along with them. The focus of the stage was to emphasize LUCID!’s fun and carefree personality and concept. Multiple clips of other groups smiling and clapping along to their performance gained traction, a clip of Vernon from Seventeen dancing along and grinning going the most viral.

"WHO ARE TWIST? - DAZED KOREA ISSUE VOL.1 (OCT 2016)
"One twist for ya mind, one twist for ya soul! Hello, We are Twist!"
TWIST Discuss DEBUT SINGLES 'ATTENTION' and 'WOW THING' & THE MEANING OF TWIST.
TWIST entered the K-pop scene with a fresh and exciting energy, debuting with double title tracks 'Attention' and 'Wow Thing', who both cite influences from 2000s pop and 90s R&B music, Twist make sure to command the public's attention and let the people know that they are here.
On the afternoon of October 1, 2016, TWIST had a magazine interview with Dazed Korea, their first-ever interview, TWIST open up to Dazed regarding their massive debut success, the meaning of the group's name, and where they want to go next.
It's been a month since your debut and you have already received two number ones on Gaon as well as your first music-show win! Did you think you this would happen so quickly?
Mina: We come from a small independent label such as JYL Records, so it is very surprising to us that the public even found out about Twist so quickly. We are very grateful for the public's reception to the music!
Sohye: It feels like a dream. To suddenly go from being a trainee and preparing for your debut for year 3 years to basically overnight success is such a new feeling. When you're in the trainee phase, you're met with many ups and downs to the point where you even doubt if you want to continue... In the end, you realize that your hard work paid off.
Your debut single album, ATTENTION, captures the essence of girl crush as well as a very powerful and intimidating image. As a group, many of you were involved in the creative process. Would this be a proper introduction to TWIST in your eyes?
Chaeyoung: I usually put my hand in the writing and composing of the music, whereas Mina will write occasionally, Hyerim also writes and produces, and both Sohye and Hyerim will come up with the image and creative direction for the music after hearing a final base of it. After careful consideration between multiple tracks, we believed that this is indeed the best introduction to TWIST.
Sohye: Chaeyoung's our main producer of the group in terms of members. She's extremely talented, especially when you learn that she's been composing music since the mere age of 12. I think Chaeyoung did a wonderful job and capturing the sound of TWIST.
Mina: For 'WOW THING', Hyerim was the main producer and that song is personally my favorite out of the three we've released. Hyerim's musical ear is interesting. She made the single by analyzing our personalities just immediately after a week in training back in 2015.
Hyerim: To continue from Mina, I made the instrumental for 'WOW THING' after watching Bratz. This was back when I was a trainee at JYL, I was quite a new trainee, but I had been partnered with these three for the group's lineup and I had made the song after being with them for a week. 'WOW THING' showcases the dynamic and different levels of how TWIST can be.
You work extremely well as a team. How did the four of you become a team?
Mina: It's been 3-4 years of me with Sohye and Chaeyoung, however, as a group, it's been one year of us four together. I meshed really well with Sohye and Chaeyoung in our trainee days, and as of 2015, Jiyeon Lee told us she found someone that would be an interesting addition to the group. Thus, we met Hyerim. Hyerim added the ace feeling that we wanted in the group.
Hyerim: I was only a trainee for a year, but I wasn't supposed to be a trainee at JYL Records. I had originally auditioned for YG Entertainment and ended up in first place, however, Jiyeon Lee actually snatched me! She gave me a tour of JYL and let me watch trainees perform and this is how I came across these three! They were performing "Survivor" by Destiny's Child and I immediately wanted to join them!
Speaking of dynamic and the versatility of TWIST, how would you describe the three songs you've released so far?
Mina: Attention is our debut single, we basically come out the gate demanding attention from the public and peers. It has a very sweet 2000s pop sound to it, and I would liken it to being inspired by Cassie's "Me & U". The choreography, made by Hyerim and Sohye, was made with the intention of being mesmerizing and give a vibe of cheerleading. This song is meant to show our dancing abilities!
Hyerim: Our double debut single, or title track, Wow Thing, has a more R&B sound to it. I previously mentioned making it after watching Bratz, however, musically, I was inspired by a Christina Aguilera track. We showcase our powerful vocals here compared to the other two tracks on the single release. I made sure that the public would know that we can sing.
Chaeyoung: Uh-Oh, the bside of the album, is an ode to 1990s hip hop. I specifically referenced the boom bap side genre with this track. While 'WOW THING' shows the vocals of TWIST, Uh Oh is meant to showcase the rap skills of TWIST.
Sohye: I came up with the overall concept of 'Uh Oh' as a response to the people in my life who didn't believe in me and had doubts of me becoming an idol. However, Chaeyoung helped put my vision to life as I'm currently working on my writing skills.
What does TWIST mean? What are your fans called?
Mina: TWIST means we can do any genre, any sound, any concept, any image by putting a twist to it. We each have individual charms that contribute to the music. We each have an input on the creative process whether its composing or coming up with the concept. We're simply putting our twist on things.
Hyerim: As for our fans, we were considering TWISTERS... but that is absolutely corny. I had to beg the members to not go for that. However, I came up with NADOS. Representing the tornado that is TWIST storming into the industry!
Sohye: That happens to be less corny. But I will add to the possibility of our fanbase becoming huge to the point where their power is equivalent to a tornado.
Would you say you have musical influences?
Chaeyoung: I feel as it may be impossible for someone to not be inspired or influenced by another act. However, I would say as a group, we look to 2NE1 for the goal of being strong of stage like them.
Hyerim: Vocally, I would love to have harmonies like Destiny's Child. I want us to be a vocal force.
Sohye: Individually, I am influenced by The Spice Girls. Each member had a specific charm to them that was quite different from the other, however, they didn't contrast or clash.
Mina: Mariah Carey's songwriting abilities and musical ear is something I would love for us to be likened too.
What are your plans after this?
Mina: Surprising fact, we do have another release planned before the end of the year! We also plan to do more promos and try to get the public to see us more. As of now, we have a couple variety shows lined up.
Do you have any words for your fans and the future ones to come?
Mina: Firstly, thank you Dazed, for having us. We're very thankful for our fans and we will work harder to show many sides of ourselves.
Sohye: I'm thankful for your immediate interest in us and I hope you stay.
Hyerim: I'm very excited for the future to come! I'm grateful for everything that has happened! May we continue to develop from here.
Chaeyoung: For our next release, we will promise to continue to raise the expectations of NADOS. We are grateful for your love.

𝐢. general summary
tw. mentions of bully and death
GIRL MONTAGE is a fictional girl group with a total of eight members: ARA, HARLOW, JUNIPER, ARTEMIS, YULLI, CHERRY, LANE, and JULIET. on MARCH 18, 2018, girl montage made their debut under GARDEN LABS as the company's first group with the mini album GIRL X GIRL.
the group seemed to have been on the track to gaining popularity until DECEMBER 2018 when member, ROSIE, was announced to have left the group and terminated her contract with garden labs. many fans were confused by the sudden departure from rosie as she was seen as one of the most popular members. however, in MARCH 2019, it was was revealed by a whistleblower twitter account that rosie had left due to not “personal reasons” but actually “mismanagement and bullying among the members.” this lead the group to be put on a hiatus until they finally came back after a year of inactivity.
after this the group seemed to be doing well while still recovering from their bully scandal. it wouldn't be until JULY 2022, that the group would face another tragedy when member LONDON would be reported to have passed away suddenly. the group would once more go on hiatus to mourn the lost of their member. after a six-month hiatus, girl montage would announced that they are filing a LAWSUIT against their company, garden labs. the court would rule in favor of the girls and all their contracts were terminated.
since the lawsuit, many fans have assumed that the group would disband; however, girl montage has announced that they will be on an INDEFINITE HIATUS. currently as of OCTOBER 2023, the girls have created their own label, L'S MUSIC, and have been doing solo projects with the goal of one day coming back as girl montage.

*    10 : 09 PM .    POSTURE:    jan. 13, 2016.
CHARACTERS:    melanie bae & yoon yeeun. WORDS:    739. WARNINGS:    swearing.
Tumblr media
Easily attached. Those were the words noted by Yeo Joo-eun in Heri’s file after her 6-month trainee evaluation. Always a half-step behind, Joo-eun pitied the fourteen-year-old whose bold features never seemed to match her muted nature. Uninteresting, at most. Those were the words remarked by Jeong Ka-rin to her creative director when Heri broke down in the practice room at sixteen, heartbroken for reasons other trainees would’ve been overjoyed. 
Disappointment always seemed to hang over Heri’s head. Following her like a shadow, reminding anyone who glanced at her of the muteness that defined her personage. That muteness, somehow, never attacked her talent. Everyone knew Heri was talented— quite so. She was known for her voice, effortlessly high with a natural airiness. For her ear, musicality is embedded in her every thought. And for her kindness, like snow with its beautification of everything it covered. If it were not for the permanent sadness stitched into the creases of her eyes, Heri could have had her every wish. But self-sabotage never allowed for many wishes. 
Within the group, Melanie was regarded as Heri’s direct opposite. Where Heri seemed to dampen with melancholic disappointment, Melanie blossomed with poise— the same elegant poise that escaped Heri the moment she debuted. Jae-jin, the girls’ manager from the beginning, liked to joke the two were yin and yang. Melanie, known to scoff at any comparison between herself and Heri, liked to make the point that yin and yang were direct opposites, equal opposites. And Heri was never Melanie's equal.
No one quite knows when ‘Heri and Melanie’ became ‘Heri’s obsession with Melanie’. but sometime between their debut and Melanie's first solo project, Heri's eyes gained vitality. The muteness that dominated her bold features grew lost in a glaze of enchantment. For the first time, “possibly in her life” (Naira was known to scoff at any mention of Heri), Heri allowed herself to be. Casting a wish as blissfully as the white snow cataloged on gorgeous winter days.
“It's like she puts you on a pedestal,” Juniper mutters half-heartedly. Melanie's eyebrows raise, making eye contact with the group's leader through the mirror. 
“And you don’t?” She speaks with a laugh, drawing an unimpressed stare from Juniper. 
“Personally, I think it’s cute. like-” she pauses. “When was the last time she looked like- I don’t know… like she didn’t dread her existence?” Juniper giggles at this, deep dimples appearing in her pale, apple cheeks. 
“Can't remember.” 
Melanie hums in affirmation of her point. A brief silence enveloped the two girls before Melanie spoke up once more. “Apparently she’s pretty good at making songs. like, producing them.” 
It is Juniper's eyebrows that rise this time, surprised brown eyes watching Melanie and anticipating her next words. 
“Jae-jin told me they’re giving her a chance. She might end up producing something with Carter for some kids’ show.” 
“So they're like… testing her.” Melanie nods, “Yeah, Carter gets to evaluate her, see how good she really is—” 
“Potentially make her cry.” 
Juniper interrupts, adding in the thought with a brief chuckle released from Melanie.
“He's excited about it for some reason. Don’t know why, really.” 
“Mels,” Juniper begins, sending the golden-haired singer a deadpan look. “Because he can be an asshole to her and get paid for it.”
She nods, slowly, pensive in her agreement. “He's mean for free, getting paid for it? That’s like- the perfect scenario for him.” Juniper mutters, shifting in her position perched on her closest friend's bed sheets. 
“How do you think it’s gonna go for her?” Juniper speaks up quietly, almost as if she was afraid of posing the question. Her gentle fear is validated through Melanie’s casual scoff accompanied by a roll of her eyes.
“Honestly? I don’t give a fuck.”
Juniper's eyebrows shoot up in surprise once again. Despite her increasing awareness of how much Melanie resented the group’s second-youngest, the depth of her disdain for Heri never ceased to catch Juniper off guard.
“I want her gone. If Carter can’t manage to do that, I’ll go to Trenton— shit, even Ka-rin if I have to."
Juniper breathes deeply, fear creeping into her eyes as she takes in the words of the woman she’s looked up to since she first entered the company. In that moment Juniper understood the depths of Heri’s reverence for the group’s most popular member.
And Juniper knew better than anyone else that when Melanie Bae wanted something, she would get it.

sohee is first and foremost soft, sweet, and generally sensitive. she chooses to be trusting and always actively tries to see the good in people first. this leads her to make excuses for people when she shouldn’t sometimes, but it also allows her to make connections with people more naturally. she tends to act pretty childlike at times, both the good and the bad. she gets excited easily, and people find her very endearing. she cries when she gets frustrated which usually makes her even more frustrated because it becomes harder to communicate. she can be rather self critical with a need for validation that can lead her into unhealthy spirals. this, combined with her inherent trusting and idealist attitude and her past trauma has led her into multiple toxic relationships in the past.

♡ . idol persona
although not the maknae, she is often seen as the baby of the group. her sweet and innocent-like persona and visuals quickly made her the nation’s darling once again. she is the second most popular member domestically after anya, but prefers to take performance or acting experiences over modeling. she has appeared in a few dramas, the most popular being her role as jookyung in true beauty. she is rather touchy and in any given piece of content for the group, you will likely see her cuddled up with a member at any given time. she is the member most likely to do aegyo without putting up a fuss, and lovies have dubbed her the queen of aegyo both for this reason and because she manages to actually look impossibly cute while doing it. she loves to interact with fans, and there are endless compilations of “soft sohee moments with fans” on the internet. she is also a huge cat lover with a cat of her own that is constantly featured in her social media posts. she will take any opportunity to coo over a cat whether its one that is just minding its business in the street or if a fan takes the time to show her one in a fancall. she will send pictures of cats in their messaging service and always captions it with “this reminded me of our cutest lovies,” and she will happily don any animal ears given to her proudly. but especially the cat ones. she is the most likely to cry at their concerts and her members like to poke fun at her for it at times, tomi posting a full slideshow of pictures of her crying for her birthday several years in a row.
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥   history tw ; csa
sohee has always been a pretty baby. everyone always told her parents so. no one had ever seen a baby more beautiful and sweet-natured, they said. she was perfect. on a whim when she was just about to turn 2, her mother entered her in a beautiful baby contest run by a famous childcare brand looking to find their next baby models. her win set her on an unexpected path of billboards and fame, the citizens of korea all knowing her name and cooing over her image before she could even form full sentences. she kept modeling and appearing in commercials throughout her childhood. she was a darling sensation in the late 90s and early 2000s, even brands like samsung sought her out for advertisements. she first realized her dream of becoming an idol when was around 5 and she had to perform a rendition of a children’s song for one of her commercials. it was her biggest hit, the catchy jingle and her cute little face boosting the company’s sales ten-fold. 
she kept modeling and acting in commercials for years, but as she got older, she began to book less and less. she was still pretty, they said, but she was losing that same toddler charm she once had. when she was 9 years old, she and her parents were approached by a scout from mgc entertainment, the company of one of the highest-selling girl groups of the time. her parents were a little hesitant, not only ready to be done with the industry they had been sucked into so suddenly, but believing sohee was too young to be a trainee. the scout was convincing enough though, telling her parents that they wanted to make her the next boa. sohee begged and begged for them to let her join, and after a week or so of consideration, finally agreed. she did an obligatory audition but was immediately accepted, the company seeking her out for her visuals and her already hefty resume as a child model. 
she enjoyed her training at first, happy that she spent her days learning to sing and dance with other kids her age. that was until one of the dance instructors began giving her special treatment. he always gave her praise in front of the class despite berating other kids, he would give her special lessons in his own studio, and eventually he began making advances on her. she didn’t understand it at first. she liked being his favorite, even though some of her friends began to turn on her because of it. she liked being praised and encouraged. but often times she was self-conscious of the way he would put his hands on her while guiding her movements, or his tone of voice when he would speak to her when they were alone. 
it got to the point where one day, she begged and begged her mom to let her stay home from practice and quit being a trainee. concerned for her daughter after her initial excitement, she eventually got the truth out of sohee and was enraged. her parents immediately took the issue to the company, but they informed them that they had signed exclusive 5-year contracts with them, including nda clauses. the company threatened the family with legal action if they continued to speak on the issue or if they pulled sohee out of the training program. unable to risk the costs, they reluctantly sent sohee back to the program. they warned her to stay away from the teacher as much as she could, but to tell no one else about the issue.
the next day after class, the teacher pulled her aside and told her that she would never make it in the industry if she couldn’t handle special treatment. that he was only helping her to reach her dreams and that every girl who had ever made it as a star had been in her position. she kept attending his lessons after that.
she was always torn. she still had a deep love for performing. she got lost in a dance or a song, relishing in the way she felt strong and impenetrable when she was on the stage. but she was slowly becoming more isolated, and the instructor made her feel wrong for wanting to chase this dream. in the 5th year of her training, the final year of her dreaded contract, one day she arrived to the studios where she had spent years practicing and found them entirely abandoned. it turns out that the company had been under investigation for fraud, money laundering, and csam related crimes for the past few months. suddenly everything that she had been working for, that she had been suffering for, disappeared before her very eyes.
it took years for her to get over the crushing loss of her dream and even begin to heal from the trauma she had experienced. 3 years after the disappearance of mgc entertainment, just after her 16th birthday, another scout approached her on the street on behalf of rainbow entertainment. she denied her at first, struggling to even hold a conversation as anxiety rubbed raw at her throat, but she took her card, if only to get away quicker. but the longer she considered it, the more she was reminded of what her dream had meant to her. her parents were hesitant at first, not quick to forget the way she was torn apart when this dream did not work out before, bit after seeing her renewed determination, they agreed. but not before hiring a lawyer to sit in on any contract signing.
she found a new life while training at rbe, a renewed passion for what she had longed for before. she still struggled with symptoms of ptsd at times, but she had found a strong support system in her friends, especially seolah who she had quickly found solace in. she was overcome with joy on their debut day, hardly unable to stop crying as her dream finally came to reality after everything she had gone through to get there.
