Guide to K-pop: From Trainee to Post-Disbandment Part.8 of 12
Life of idol companies consist of promotions and people involved:
There are many behind-the-scenes people helping the artists on-stage. They are seen in their behind clips of their performances and appearances. They are mentioned in their awards acceptance speeches. These people range from hair and makeup team, costume or stylist, PR team, marketing team, social media team, managers,…
My toxic trait is that I wish Edwin hadn't gotten killed and reformed in hell bc that bloody makeup they had him in was such a fucking look and i was disappointed when he went back to not being injured :/
are you guys tired of these yet? too bad i dont care <3 its tinky train time. why is he an observation car? ummm idk the vibes fit. his design was a little tricky for me at first because there are ZERO male/masculine coaches in stex for me to pull design language from. in the end i just decided to give him a silly lil outfit that sorta leans into the tinkerer thing. also him having The Box really doesnt make any sense in this au :( so i just decided to give him as much of a square motif as possible
I don't think she had bad hair in s1 or s2, but I'm excited that they're actually giving the Black girls Black hairstyles instead of having them wear it out.
Before, it felt like the (all-white, for context) hair department was just ignorant about Black hair, so they put wigs on the Black actresses and only did styles that also work on nonblack hair for their own sake/convenience. This theory was especially supported by the fact that Tara, whose 4c hair couldn't really be styled the same as nonblack hair, wore a twistout that would take literal hours to do every day, but she had box braids in s2! and Elle has box braids now!! I'm so excited!!!
I also feel like this fits her bold, fashion-loving personality so much better than leaving her hair out. Our hair is basically its own accessory, and the long box braids are very feminine. Again, I'm not saying not having a protective style isn't feminine or fashionable (I myself am a fashion girlie with an Afro), but having one is another outlet for her creativity, and I'm glad they're recognizing that now.
