An excerpt from the first draft of "Ivan The Terrible Kills His Son (1/2)".

Minwoo is very dear to me but unfortunately to him that means I love putting him in extremely shattering situations. I have shared so many bits and pieces of this two parter on this blog and my talk one because I love it, despite all it's flaws. It contains one of the first scenes I ever visualized for LOOPiN, and the draft of it is SUCH A MESS, so choppy, but there's a nice sentiment here. Made a web weaving about it once, because of course I did.

An untitled excerpt from my phone's Notes App that would have gone into the first draft of "Dylan, Seungsoo And Dongwook (😨‼️) Commit A Shitton Of Crimes. Kind Of."

The element of grief has been added to Haruki's plot very recently, and was one of the major changes I made to the original story that made me go, "Okay, we need a draft two." I'm kind of lowkey realizing now that I have basically never really Talked about what Haruki's plot entails publicly despite how essential it is to everything, which is kind of funny??? It demands a lot of tws so it's not casual to just mention.

idk if i send it here but my word is freedom! <3

TWS: Illusion to cults!

First excerpt from the first draft of 'The World As Seen From The Bottom Of The Stairs'!

First of all: FUCK BEOMSEOK! ALL MY HOMIES HATE BEOMSEOK! I swear, making him the main narrator for this piece was one of the worst narrative decisions I ever made. Dude was just a foil to unstable king Kim Haegon, I shouldn't have EVER given him a main character spot. 'The World As Seen From The Bottom Of The Stairs' has been my first attempt of writing the 'pilot' of LOOPiN's story, the quick starter to begin it all because linearly, it's the start of the story that really Matters, so it always made sense. It's Haruki and Haegon centric! Because they make up the Main Characters of Part 1!

Second excerpt from the first draft of 'The World As Seen From The Bottom Of The Stairs'!

FUCK SANGWON! ALL MY HOMIES HATE SANGWON! The thing with Haruki and Haegon is that they have never in their lives experienced freedom. Not even once. And that's a theme that is so present in LOOPiN's whole plot that I could literally add more 8 excerpts here. Haruki has ever been either captive or living in full debauchery, no in between, while Haegon is the poster child of Repression. (Something I'm contemplating to dive way deeper into in Draft 2!) Another 10/10 doom duo!

Excerpt from the first draft of the Seungsoo centric piece 'Seungsoo's Many Moons'!

'Seungsoo's Many Moons' is such a treasure to me because writing it gave me such a fun insight into his character! Seungsoo is constantly acting without thinking on his day to day life (in LOOPiN pieces where the focus is on the group, he's one of the people that really makes the plot move forward because he has a personal moral compass that doesn't' align with anyone else, pretty much a stubborn vigilante type), so I looove writing him romancing people because he really puts on an effort to be a good partner. Terrible friend, though!

BONUS!

And if I tell you this is one out of the three times they ever act friendly with each other on first draft??? Seungsoo and J.J have extremely crashing personalities and act on complete different planes, and as ~plot happens~, they lowkey get obsessed with hurting each other. Top3 LOOPiN disaster duos.

As I mentioned before on my talk blog, LOOPiN's Draft 1 (January 2021 - August 2022) has been partially concluded by me at around 70K words spread across Google Docs and various devices Note apps. An estimated 40% of the whole LOOPiN story, what corresponds to what I like to call as their 'season 1', has been planned/written very first-drafty during this time.

Now that I'm embarking on writing Draft 2, I'll pretty much retire these pieces as they've been these past two years. Some plot bits have changed, characters lost and gained meaning, the characterization of the loop dudes has evolved, and so on, so forth.

So! Where I'm going with this! I would love to share some bits and pieces of the work I have trought an ask game, because I'm quite proud of it! So, you guys can send in any word and I'll attach a small excerpt that relates to it from the drafts!

calling all rookies ! ✿ ◟ . .

mnet, in collaboration with four to six entertainment companies, is putting together a new survival show ! four to six rookie girl groups will go head to head, but not like they would in queendom. instead, one member from each group will be chosen via challenges and voting to participate in the final project group, which will promote once or twice a year.

this survival show is very much a work in progress, and will be happening after my rookies make their debut in july. i just figured i'd tease a little, and give anyone interested ample time to workshop their own rookies. there's so few of them in fic right now ! the hook of the show is that mnet has gathered the best of the best, the monster rookies leading the charge into fifth gen. so just keep that in mind ^^.

anyways, feel free to drop any questions or ideas you have, if you have any <3. otherwise, stay tuned, i hope to return soon with updates !

Na Seungsoo, mononymously known as Seungsoo, is a fictional south korean singer and dancer based in South Korea. He is a member of equally fictitious south korean boy group LOOPiN and its former pre-debut subunit LOOPiN After First, formed by New Wave Music alongside Blockberry Creative, acting as the lead vocalist, lead dancer and producer of the group.

Seungsoo takes his self assigned role of LOOPiN’s funny man and mood maker as seriously as he takes his producing position, although fans have grown so used to seeing him cultivating running gags and jokingly praising his members – to the point of owning the title of ‘Inside iNSYNC’ –, that a percentage often forgets that Seungsoo can be a dedicated, attentious and highly artistic person in more fields then just music, an Idol with his heart on his sleeve. He’s had the most organic popularity growth in the group with little New Wave interference, and it’s now easily one of the most celebrated and market friendly members, having the most uniform ratio between korean and international fans in LOOPiN. His impulsivity, however, is something that shows past the Idol mask despite his years of experience, and could make Seungsoo be mistaken for a rookie; it mostly comes through in the form of oversharing-then-deleting posts online, and it has placed Seungsoo countless times in vulnerable positions where speculation of his personal life and true personality ran rampant – nothing he couldn’t bounce back from by ingeniously charming his audience on and off stage yet.

TOP10 IDOLMAKER PAIRINGS FANS CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF!

Recently, a week long poll was held on IDOLMAKER’s official site, in which fans were encouraged to pick their favorite IDMK friendship duos, trios or any sort of combination among the 16 current members. While it’s still unclear if it will culminate in any sort of benefit or special release from the Top10 pairings, or if it’s just another one of FURTA Media’s direct marketing research tactics, fans still took the poll seriously and went to war for their picks. Anyhow, here at the results!

10. 2EUNYOO (EUNHYUK X EUNYOUNG X YOOJIN) with 4% of votes!

Nicknamed as ‘MAXIs First Love Trio’, 2EunYoo’s chemistry in variety shows and early promotional material is often said to be one of the key elements behind IDOLMAKER’s successful sell of their project in their pre-debut months - Eunyoung and Eunhyuk’s obvious care for Yoojin was endearing to her already established fanbase, making their position as co-leaders even the more obvious. Although not promoted as often together at this point in time for reasons that fans can only speculate about (rumors surrounding an alleged misunderstanding between the three have run wild since 2019), older MAXIs still hold on foundly to the team, and every small piece of interaction between the three of them can still cause a considerable amount of frenezy and trend for days!

09. YOUNG WIN (GAYOUNG X DAEWON) with 5% of votes!

The center x center pairing got popular almost immediatly after Daewon’s addition to group in 2020, when he and Gayoung got paired up in a Ready To Love dance break. They jokingly took to calling themselves team ‘Young Win’ on their rehearsal vlogs, which ended up sticking for how fitting it is: Gayoung and Daewon are both 97 and 99 liners, respectively, but they’re already some of the most prominent It Girl and It Boy not only in their group, but also in 4th Gen as a whole. Their joint brand friendliness is remarkable and keeps on growing day by day, with Young Win recently doing promotional campaigns for Bobbi Brown and attending the Prada fashion show in 2023′s Milan Fashion Week side by side. Daewon is one of the few people that can make Gayoung break character and laugh in between scheduels, while it’s easy to see that her professionalism brings out the best out of him when they work together, which they seen to want to keep doing for a long, long time.

08. 4TH GEN GANG (TOMOMI X DAEWON X KINA X YUZURIHA) with 6% of votes!

Fans have time and time again point out that while all past IDMK units always seemed to leave someone a little behind, as it happened with Seunggi in 1st Gen, Taehyeon in the 2nd and Yejung in the 3rd, IDOLMAKER’s latest addition really feels like a team of four friends that work in harmony. A lot of credit is probably due to their different style of promotions then the groups before them; the unit was originally set to hyperfocus on the japanese market before Daewon made the cut, and even with a korean member added to the mix they still spent most of their first year sharing an apartment in Tokyo and getting to know each other more isolated from the main group. Their mix of personalities has also always been very well received: serious Tomomi, jokester Daewon, energetic Kina and mellow Yuzuriha is a combo that never fails to amuse MAXIs and even non-fans, on occasion. All duo combinations among the 4th Gen Gang is also very popular, with KIYU~~ (Kina and Yuzuriha, the maknae line that is notorious for their geek enthusiasm over their game) and ToKi (Tomomi and Kina, who have a cat and mouse sort of teasing dynamic going on) coming just short of making it into the poll on their own.

what i want to say is that music is a thing of joy for most people. to love an artist or their work, to root for them, is mostly because the music makes us feel happy and supported and seen. sometimes it just makes passing the time easier. feeling saddened or hurt now is valid and real. a connection like this feels and is personal. you’re a human being with a heart. we all are. take care of yourself and look after yourself in any way you can. processing something like this can take minutes to hours to days. look after your heart and your well-being. take it slow if you need to. be gentle with yourself and be gentle to those you know, if they may need it too. let that gentleness and care echo.

Bang Minwoo, mononyously known as Minwoo, is a fictional south korean rapper, singer, music producer and dancer based in South Korea. He is a member os equally fictitious south korean boy group LOOPiN and it’s pre-debut subunit LOOPiN After First, formed by New Wave Music alongside Blockberry Creative, acting as the main rapper, sub vocalist, producer and current leader of the group.

Minwoo has been sold from day one to the audience as LOOPiN’s own Genius Idol, someone who’s immeasurable talent and potential could speak for itself. And while his fierce stage presence, frank personality and perfectionistic standards often paint him as intimidating and even harsh at first look, his large fandom and the majority of his bandmates swear there’s a caring and sentimental side to him hidden underneath the surface. Minwoo has been made an example of a near perfect performer and artist, and even if his likeability behind cameras has been up to debate more than once, the respect he has from people in the industry it’s undeniable.

Park Taesong, mononyously known as Taesong, is a fictional south korean singer and dancer based in South Korea. He is a member of equally fictitious south korean boy group LOOPiN and its former pre-debut subunit LOOPiN We/Eden, formed by New Wave Music alongside Blockberry Creative, acting as the main vocalist and former leader of the group.

Taesong’s kidness and optimism have always been his most apparent qualities, and they’ve been integrated into his brand as a K-Pop Idol. INSINCs will always describe him as sweet, conforting, responsible and devoted to LOOPiN and its fans, the cardboard copy of the stereotypical ‘parent of the group’. Altought not the best or most stable performer on stage, his clear passion for singing and his dedication to keep the group united and functioning harmonically has owned him a dedicated niche fanbase, as well as the admiration of anyone who’s ever met him on the job.

Uploaded on New Wave Music’s official youtube channel two single days after the departure of Beomseok, [#GYUJIN] Introduction Act 1 - Love Scene is a 01:58 music video featuring the (up until that point unknown) trainee Woo Gyujin.

Altought not explicitly linking itself to LOOPiN and being promoted only in the company’s social media, Minwoo and Seungsoo’s names listed on the song’s production and arranging respectively – side by side with Gyujin’s own writing credits –, as well as New Wave’s last ambiguos lines in the departure statment, was enough to connect the dots: Gyujin is definely joining LOOPiN, and he’s joining soon.

Response from the fanbase has been extremely split between pure indignation and relutant acceptance regarding the upcoming addition, and iNSYNC stan Twitter is currently on fire with complains about the music video’s awful timing, Gyujin hate hashtags, neutral Gyujin hashtags trying to compensate for the hate, and a email template from fanbases all around the world demanding New Wave explains with details the group’s future plans and postpone any lineup additions.

After only two hours of being up, the comments on the MV have been deactivated.

You can listen to Gyujin’s song, Love Scene, here.

New Wave Music has release a surprise statement today (March 16th) announcing the official departure of LOOPiN’s Beomseok from the company and the group.

It reads as follows:

Hello, this is New Wave Music. 

Beomseok, who’s been a member of LOOPiN up until now, has terminated his contract and will no longer be part of the group moving foward.

On October 2022, with the full aquisition of the members contracts made by our company after our creative departure with a former colaborator, we came to the agreement with 9 out of the then 10 members to revise past amendmends and resign for more three years. After much consideration and a two month long discussion, Beomseok has decided to not renew his contract and cease all activities as a member of LOOPiN as of March 2023.

We thank Beomseok for the five years he has given us, and we wish nothing but personal fullfilment in his journey moving foward. We hope fans will share the same sentiment, accept our apologies for the sudden news, and look foward to the future of LOOPiN with whatever shape the lineup might take.

Beomseok has also written a personal letter uploaded on Fab, his personal Instagram account and the group’s official Twitter regarding the news:

To my iNSYNCS,

It’s been hard to condense everything I want to say in a single letter. I have decided to be brief.

The decision to leave the group might seen abrupt looking from an outside perspective, but if I have to be honest, it’s been a long time coming. My heart hasn’t been set on music for a long time. I have already lived all my teenage dreams thanks to every single one of you, but now I find myself with new goals, and none of them include being an Idol for any longer then I already have. I wish I could have been honest with myself and others sooner, so I wouldn’t hurt anyone with those news now.

To my members and to my fans who have looked after me with such care for so long, from the bottom of my heart I say: thank you for all the love and support you’ve trusted on me. Thanks to it, my years with LOOPiN will be forever engraved in my mind and in my heart as some of my happiest. I’m forever grateful and indept to you.

As of what will come next for me, I don’t know for sure yet. But the certainty I have is that I won’t be in the public eye, anymore. The entertainment industry is no longer the right place for me. I trust our fans to understand and respect my wish.

With love,

Lee Beomseok.

With LOOPiN recently wrapping up the promotions for their second full album ‘Set For Sale’, and with strong rumors of a repackage already in filming stage, the departure has shocked iNSYNCs and stans alike. The hashtags #ThankYouBeomseok and #LOOPiNPerfectTen has been steadily trending on social media ever since the release of the departure statement.

[+411, -13] Someone check on Haegon IMMEDIATLY.

[+389, -1] It’s so disrespectiful to allude to the addition of a new member in the same letter they’re announcing his departure, like? Couldn’t they give it a day at least?

[+321, -5] Whoever is replacing him better SING SING, because Beomseok is leaving some heavy shoes to fill. He’ll be missed.

[+299, -10] Is LOOPiN aware they’ll be getting a new member miss New Wave Music, that’s what I want to know

[+287, -96] Sad to say that I saw it coming. I’ve been feeling like he hasn’t been enjoying being on stage for a while now :/ hope he’ll be happy in his new path.

[+2, -457] BYE PUMPKIN! BYE PUMPKIN!

YOU CAN FIND ME AT !

@intoloopin ... a 10 membered once LOONA sibling group who are now on their way to find their own footing and personal identity. fingers crossed they don’t all kill each other in the process. it deals with themes of codependency, the sacrifice of self for fame and glory, the music industry’s reward for unetical behavior, what happens when passion runs thin, love as double edged sword and the underwold that’s only accessible with stardom. (NOT MINOR FRIENDLY.  LIKE AT ALL.)

“I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour / But heaven knows I’m miserable now. / I was looking for a job, and then I found a job / And heaven knows I’m miserable now.”

starring: Hwang Chihoon / Dylan Hwang, Park Taesong, Fukunaga Haruki, Na Seungsoo, Bang Minwoo;

featuring: mentions of the other LOOPiN members, mentions of former Boy Of The Week trainees (Lee Sangjin, Alexandre Han, Matsushita Kohei / Dallas Matsushita, Kwon Dongwook), mentions of LOOPiN’s former manager, Choi Sangwon;

set in: May 7th, 2021;

word account: 8,935 words;

trigger warnings: they’re all getting awfully drunk trought this whole thing. swearing like, lots of swearing. usual angry drunk people antics. insinuations and two very vapid mention of someone dealing with anemia and depression in the past.

*note(s): 1. English is not my first language, and it might show to a native speaker or someone who’s more fluent then I am. I tried my best to iron this piece out, but if any grammatical errors flew over my head, I hope they don’t ruin the overall experience. With that out of the way, have a good read 😝 🍾

“Soooooo,” Haruki says, elongating the vowel for so long, he’s almost singing it. “We came all the way here to not talk about it. Got it.”

He’s squatting on the floor right in front of Dylan, very close to his feet, picking at something on his own shoe that might be really there, might just be an excuse for him to not make eye contact with anyone. There’s always a point, after he’s had too much liquor, where Haruki can’t make eye contact with anyone without getting horribly misty eyed.

Dylan’s been staring intensely at the very little he can make out of his face from this angle – just the tip of his nose, the illusion of his bottom lip and a bit of his forehead – to find out which is the truth, but Haruki isn’t bearing anything telling and obvious like a frown or a pout, so he really can’t tell no matter how much he squints.

He wishes, not for the first time, that he was an expressive and carefree type of drunk, instead of this provoking and evasive thing. Chihoon’s too dazed to read microexpressions, and if you’re not putting in all your attention and effort into catching all the microscopic shifts a face can make, it’s impossible to even begin to make out what a hammered Haruki is trying to pretend not to feel.

“I mean,” Seungsoo prompts, bouncing on the balls of his feet. The words come off slurring together off his completely red face. If asked, he’d swear he’s not drunk yet, and then he would take a long gulp of the soju bottle he’s been sipping on for the past twenty minutes to prove it, even though it would be written all over his face how much he’d be sick of it – he gets awfully competitive when he drinks with Minwoo and Haruki, he explained to Chihoon before, who’s tolerances are legendary. Dylan privately believes Seungsoo just has a complex about being left behind. “Do you have anything to say? I don’t. Lips sealed.”

“Taesong obviously has,” Minwoo comments, slowly, then seems annoyed at his pace and spits, “TaesongHasSomethingToSayLookAtHisFaceHe’sDraggingIt.”

Chihoon turns his head quickly to the left, feeling the world spin as he sends Minwoo a disapproving look – Don’t put him on the spot. Minwoo frowns right back at him with his lips pursed – Don’t tell me what not to do.

Casting his eyes down again, Chihoon worryingly looks at Taesong. He’s also squatting on the floor, keeping a bigger distance from the circle he, Seungsoo, Haruki and Minwoo formed near the walls, leaning against the cooler they borrowed to keep all the insane amount of alcohol Haruki ordered, enough to probably send half of them into a deadly coma, chilling.

He doesn’t respond to the singling out. In fact, he says nothing and stares unblinkingly ahead for so long, Chihoon thinks he’s fallen asleep with his eyes open, or something – he’s seen similar things happen to Beomseok when he’s exhausted, a couple of times. He knows it’s possible.

When Taesong finally, finally focuses his eyes and opens his mouth, the only thing that does come out of it is a loud hiccup, and then a huffed and barely comprehensible apology. Minwoo groans at him, frustrated, Seungsoo and Haruki huff laughs, amused, and Dylan sighs, tired. 

Suddenly so tired, he can feel it in his bones.
