And today marks their third day since debut — these rising talents are incredible

These newcomers doing pure live vocals from debut lately… (more)

Speaking of these rising talents,
ElkA debuted yesterday, and all six members did pure live vocals with handheld microphones — a rare display of genuine skill in today’s idol scene. And
Today on Music Center they also did pure live vocals with handheld microphones in a live broadcast, showing the justified confidence of a skilled newcomer group.
In the meantime, EVERGREET posted a new challenge video on Twibble today.

It’s a vocal challenge led by the vocal members, and in this one, DayLight’s Lee Su-bin appears.
Actually, an hour before this went up, DayLight posted their own Aurora Challenge with Hyun-seo and Hyerin and Eom Yu-bin, so meeting up itself wasn’t particularly surprising.
Hyun-seo’s from DragonFly too, and I thought they’d just grabbed coffee after a while, but then came a combination nobody could have predicted — a challenge nobody could have imagined. Wild!
Anyone with time should definitely check out this challenge,,,
Especially girl group fans and vocal fanatics — absolutely must-watch.

【#DayLight #Han Jeong-yeon #Yeo Eun-jae seniors and the aurora covering the sky, wishing for Lucky Days💕 #Title Mix Challenge #EVERGREET #Ji-on #Soo-ah #Han-byul】
It’s also on EtubeShorts so just invest one minute of your time.
They mixed DayLight’s title track Aurora and EVERGREET’s title track Lucky Days on the spot — Ji-on played guitar and sang over it in a challenge.
You might think, “What kind of crazy people are these?” but Ji-on and Soo-ah are current students in the practical music department at Seojeong Arts University… so they have the skill to pull off this kind of outlandish challenge in perfect harmony,,,
As a girl group vocal fan of many years, this is the first time I’ve ever seen such a dopamine-fueled challenge.
I hope many more fans check this out… it’s so fresh and so good
+) Thanks for the comment, readers. DayLight’s Jeong-yeon’s take on the challenge!
(Uverse comment capture)
Jeong-yeon: That challenge lol so much fun!!!!
Jeong-yeon: I went over wanting to get closer but ended up singing all of a sudden and now I’m spilling the tea hehe
Jeong-yeon: It was seriously wild??? Ji-on listened and rearranged it so fast, just testing out the guitar and then all of a sudden singing together so naturally
Jeong-yeon: Ah hehe I finally made friends!!! Other than members!! I successfully added Soo-ah and Ji-on to my contact list lollll
Jeong-yeon: Hyun-seo is obviously my sister!!
We didn’t plan it and agree beforehand — we literally just did it on the spot there!!!
It looked fun so I asked to join, and it really was fun hehe )
——————————
– Our Jeong-yeon came to Uverse bouncing around like a hyper rabbit lol she must’ve had so much fun (Uverse comment capture)
└ Wow wait should we add this to the main post??
└ I’m a fan and yeah!
– SMH I wondered why an idol would bother with Seojeong Arts Uni but to rearrange it on the spot like that — there’s definitely class. Honestly so cool ㄹㅇ
– That’s so wild, wouldn’t they get confused singing like that
└ I’m just a passing fan but Jeong-yeon and Eun-jae mixed up the lyrics so they reshot it like twice lollllll
– With broadcast stations slowly cutting out music show karaoke content lately, artists are uploading their own live Shorts from waiting rooms… is this a good side effect
└ Lollll so funny honestly
└ This is Music Center but Music City cutting the behind-the-scenes clips was really such a loss. Bring back those clips,,,,,,,,
– Challenges are entering the era of ideas — so fresh and fun lol for viewers it’s just pure entertainment
– Isn’t this kind of challenge only possible because they all went to Seojeong Arts Uni lollll
└ ㄹㅇ lolll
– But DayLight, Han Jeong-yeon’s vocals are surprisingly really good — barely any weak points
└ Oh ㄹㅇ surprisingly great vocals. I already knew Yeo Eun-jae was the main vocalist, but Han Jeong-yeon really is surprising
└ Jeong-yeon’s the lead vocal! She sings great!!
– They’re all adults but Han-byul is seriously overwhelmingly talented lolll literally has sparrow-like vocals. Voice is ㄱㅇㅇ
└ Her singing doesn’t lose out to the seniors either. Seriously good skill

“Unnie, I heard Eun-jae told you to stop using formal speech, but you said it was more comfortable to stick with it?”
“So what?”
“Then why did you do that to me…….”
“Do I see the members every single day and see you seniors only sometimes? They’re different situations. Besides, I’m not forcing you to drop the formality.”
“That’s……, true.”
“Pffft, look at Hyun-seo’s face!”
“Don’t let them get to you…….”
…It seems like lately these kids have really gotten a taste for teasing me.
What’s the problem, what…….
I sighed deeply and turned my head, catching sight of Go Hyun-seo with a slightly embarrassed expression and Hyun Jae-yi laughing until tears came.
“Ah, Ji-on’s totally annoyed.”
“I’m not.”
“You’re not? Your face is completely annoyed.”
“I’m annoyed because of you right now.”
“But you still love me, right?”
“……What if I said no?”
“Discord rumors right before our first Uverse live?”
“This is seriously over…….”
“Tee hee.”
In moments like this, is Kang Soo-ah really my weakness?
My head empties completely at her baseless, simple jabs.
Our first Monday off since debut without a music broadcast, we decided to use all the features Uverse has to offer.
Finally, we were doing a real-time live interaction.
Yun-ju and the team leader didn’t expect much from us given it was the newcomers’ first live.
First, turn on the camera and greet everyone, give a short self-introduction, read a few pre-screened questions, announce the fandom name, and wrap up — all within twenty minutes.
We have scheduled meetings with fans in person starting this week, so this is a good environment to interact with fans before actually meeting them.
However, just in case, Hyun Jae-yi and I decided to monitor the live comments.
Go Hyun-seo isn’t as tactful as she seems, and the younger members are even less so……. They’re still young, so it can’t be helped.
What was surprising was how good Hyun Jae-yi’s judgment in filtering information was.
She’s currently the member posting comments and posts most actively on Uverse, and the way she mutes potentially controversial posts and comments while only engaging with appropriate ones is textbook born idol behavior.
“Comments asking for greetings in foreign languages — just ignore them moderately, then there’ll be birthday messages and things like that. Ignore those too……. You can run into fairness issues if you’re not careful.”
“Got it. Ignore spam comments, ignore comments trying too hard for attention.”
“Wow, so dependable. Hyun-seo unnie honestly can’t do this sort of thing? I’ve cut several of those Uverse comments, but that’s how it ended up.”
“Is that what you two were arguing about in the room?”
“Not arguing — I was nagging her. Well, she’s the one who got annoyed with me.”
Hyun Jae-yi shrugged.
I had suspected as much. Go Hyun-seo really doesn’t have a talent for this kind of discretion…….
Whether you call it not being able to distinguish aggro, or just having a personality that gets easily triggered……. It’s at a level that can be forgiven as cute.
Maybe because she’s a type that lands hard, she couldn’t mute aggro on Uverse either, and ended up getting lectured by Hyun Jae-yi just recently.
The younger members are being cautious and avoiding commenting on fan posts altogether.
As for Kang Soo-ah……, she walks the line between being helpful and becoming aggro herself in the process……. She’s just enjoying her Uverse life in her own energetic way.
And as for me.
“Unnie, don’t you comment on fan posts?”
“I’m still a bit scared. Though after the live today, maybe I’ll give it a shot…….”
“Why, worried something might slip? Unnie seems like you’d naturally avoid that kind of thing?”
“…Really? To be honest, I’m worried I might not do it well.”
“Just from watching you dodge Soo-ah’s comments all the time, you have a natural talent for muting aggro.”
“Really?”
“Totally.”
At Hyun Jae-yi’s sincere words, I just laughed once.
The years of brushing past nonsense and bullshit have been long enough……. This is one of my specialized fields too.
What worries me is how words might get across in the online sphere. That’s why so far I’ve only used Uverse to post photos or greet people.
“Hey guys, three minutes to live! Let’s get ready!”
“Yes!”
At Lee Su-bin’s call, I straightened my posture from where I was sitting.
Since we promised not to say anything unnecessary beforehand, this live will be fine as long as I (and Hyun Jae-yi) keep our heads on straight.
So, as long as we just keep our heads on straight!
***
[…Is the live going? Ah, it’s on.]
[We’ll start with a greeting. One, two, three.]
[Hello, we’re EVERGREET!]
Six members sitting in a tight circle around a table greet brightly.
“The member who led the greeting — is that the leader? She’s pretty.”
“Yeah, that’s the leader. Why does Im Ji-su’s taste run so clean-cut like that?”
“Huh?”
“Nah, I made a bet with Nyung. Whether Im Ji-su would get caught by EVERGREET or not — if she does, who does she get.”
“Are you two friends?”
“Yeah, K-pop friends.”
“You crazy friend group…….”
@bbi, Im Ji-su, watched her friends with a bewildered expression.
bbi🔒 @bbi661bbi
You guys, life’s been so boring lately
If you know any good K-pop, introduce me
Like the kind with that cool-beauty vibe, like Jeok Chi-yeon
│
miming🔒 @mmmiming00
Bbi… I’m saying this because you genuinely seem not to know
Someone like Jeok Chi-yeon doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world
Just beg Chi-yeon unnie to put out a solo
│
bbi🔒 @bbi661bbi
I’m literally tearing up,,,,,,
Come back, Jeok Chi-yeon
Even though I quit the fandom, still come back
Im Ji-su was currently a K-pop wanderer. And if you asked what else she liked outside K-pop, well, she didn’t really have anything else.
Her senior group members failed to surpass the cursed seven-year mark, released their final album in late October two years ago, and then cleanly disbanded when contract renewal fell through, disappearing into the shadows of K-pop history. The “bad feeling” she’d tried hard to ignore had exploded.
That otaku instinct thing — generally, those bad feelings are always right.
Yeah, I knew. I knew that at some point my seniors started looking like they hated being idols. I knew they didn’t care much for the group and the group activities seemed burdensome. I knew they wanted to focus on acting more…….
I also knew the other members didn’t care for the group either, that they weren’t really that close to each other…….
Damn otakus can’t miss things like that, of course I knew it all!!!
Don’t underestimate an otaku. Before things fall apart, an otaku is extremely perceptive about their field of interest.
And the reason she pretended not to know and ignored it all was just one.
Because she loved them!
That was literally the only reason. Im Ji-su loved her senior members so damn much…….
Of course, now that the group has disbanded and she’s quit the fandom, that’s not the case anymore, but back then — not being close and lacking affection wasn’t a matter of social decency or morality, right? She could tolerate it as long as they didn’t show it obviously.
Now that her senior has completely pivoted to acting, that’s no longer true!! But back then, she could tolerate all of it.
Her senior members weren’t the type to completely lose their professionalism in front of the camera — getting remarks about whether they got along well or not, whether they cared for each other or not. So she could relatively enjoy stable K-pop until they disbanded, but…….
Unfortunately, Im Ji-su had no interest in actor fandom, so when her seniors disbanded, she declared herself out of K-pop…….
But then life became so boring. Life with zero fun!
As for Im Ji-su, she was born-to-be K-pop otaku, a woman whose heart doesn’t race without stages and music. While she spouted quit K-pop constantly, she was the type who pathetically gravitates back to K-pop, saying there’s no dopamine like K-pop.
Ah……, isn’t there some cool-beauty genius super-talented idol to make my heart race?
For someone who’d only ever loved cool-beauty genius idols with that icy wind blowing their way, the current state was pure boredom.
Then her precious online friends suddenly picked up a new idol. For a moment, some inexplicable sense of crisis pierced through her head.
Having met as digital-eyed oppa and become treasure fragments of fate-bound online friends for nearly ten years now, these two close friends suddenly caught the same group on the same day?
Even Ori, who continued K-pop while watching the survival show, cleanly switched to sports, and now even that Nyung is pathetically gravitating back to K-pop?!
Am I the only one left on this island becoming a K-pop wanderer with a boring life……?
No, this can’t be!
During the free pre-debut period with no offline schedules, it was fine. But after debut, seeing Nyung and Ori who’ve done all the offline schedules from the showcase to music broadcasts, that inexplicable sense of crisis surged up!
She was that kind of college student — graduating soon, but hating that her friends were having fun without her even more than that…….
Therefore, Im Ji-su found herself sitting in Ori’s studio apartment at the exhaustingly late Monday 7 PM time slot, watching the first Uverse live of a group called ‘EVERGREET’ that they’d apparently newly picked up.
If it had been a group she was interested in from the start, that’d be different, but Im Ji-su, who’d been living a packed Monday life with classes and part-time work lined up, had more desire to go home and sleep than to watch an idol’s Shorts intro.
If it weren’t for Ori, who convinced her again by saying she’d buy all the chicken that hadn’t arrived yet and the beer currently in her hand, Im Ji-su would be passed out at home by now.
“You guys split on whether she’d get caught or not, but you didn’t split on who she’d get if she does. Your taste is so damn coniferous.”
“What nonsense?”
“Anyway, they said they’re announcing the fandom name today. Just watch the live.”
Kim Si-hyun, casually ignoring Im Ji-su, munched on crackers and turned her gaze to the laptop’s live stream.
[…Mint or no mint? I’m totally mint. What about you, Ji-on?]
[I think it doesn’t matter to me? If I had to choose, I don’t usually eat it unless someone buys it for us.]
[What if I brought a whole container of ice cream just packed with mint? I’m totally mint too~]
[That would kind of suck…….]
[Why not.]
[Your intentions are questionable. You know my flavor preference. So it wasn’t that you wanted to share ice cream with me — it’s more that you wanted to tease me, right? Isn’t that right?]
[Our Ji-on’s instincts are too sharp…….]
The idols on screen were discussing mint and no-mint, an ongoing debate.
The member called Ji-on, who said she disliked it but smiled playfully, had caught Im Ji-su’s eye since earlier.
She resembled her senior members a bit……, but more than that, her gaze went to the point that she was a cool-beauty ice queen type!
Combined with that icy wind blowing sound and seemingly few words, but surprisingly good social skills and a smile that came naturally — Im Ji-su’s favor was captured. From way back, Im Ji-su was an otaku who went crazy for this kind of gap moe…….
“Honestly, I don’t know if watching one live means becoming a fan or not.”
“Mm-hmm.”
“But Ji-on is really cute.”
“Im Ji-su’s taste is really the final legend conifer……. Both Nyung and I said you’d probably catch Ji-on if you caught anyone.”
“If an idol like this exists, you should’ve done the marketing first.”
“Uh, we kept spamming you, you just never checked out EVERGREET.”
……There’s nothing to say!
But the thing is, you can’t predict where a mid-sized newcomer girl group will end up. So many mid-sized girl groups disappear without a trace…….
Unlike Nyung and Ori, whose favorites are caught in mid-sized companies, Im Ji-su didn’t want to voluntarily give her heart to a mid-sized girl group.
“I didn’t want to willingly catch a mid-sized group…….”
“I understand the feeling.”
Kim Si-hyun laughed and cracked open another beer.
[…Ta-da!]
[Because I want to see you every day, always wanting to see you — it’s ‘EVERY’!]
Ding!
At the same time, Kim Si-hyun’s phone pinged with an Uverse post update notification.
It was the open-anytime notification for EVERGREET’s paid fan membership ‘EVERY’!
[…Because you now have a name to call our fans by.]
[If we can call you EVERY often, and if we can see you often too, that would be nice.]
[Thank you again, EVERY. We’ll do our best.]
“How do you feel?”
“About what, EVERGREET? Or the fandom name?”
“No, your heart. Wanna get a fan sign? Starting this week they’re taking membership sign-ups. They’ve got fan signs and radio schedules too.”
Kim Si-hyun grinned wickedly and shoved the phone screen in front of Im Ji-su.
From her perspective, Im Ji-su had already started to fall for EVERGREET, especially for Seo Ji-on.
Once she gets caught up in offline schedules, before she can deny it, she’ll be properly hooked!
