Disclaimers
I feel this may be obvious due to the premise but I can't promise a happy ending for your character. I have a preference for bittersweet rather than outright tragedy though.

I’m going to write this in the most respectful way I can. You may notice some similarities to certain real people or cases. And I just want to be very clear I’m not trying to defame anyone, but I want the story to feel real and grounded so I might use ages/job roles of real people as inspiration for characters to go on to do horrible things and I’m not in any way claiming that those people did these things.

The "Sponsor" 
 I originally hadn’t described anything about him due to wanting him to be somewhat of a mysterious figure but I realised that might make it a bit hard to create characters for the club. So I’m going to keep it vague but this might help:

His name is Kim Yejun,
He’s in his late 30’s/early 40’s He’s a son of a chaebol family. He’s pretty private and not a well-known public figure.
He’s charismatic and manipulative as well as conventionally attractive.
He’s not going to be getting a FC. He gets in touch with real media entertainment around 6 months after their debut.

Premise
Mystery, Epolistry novel,
character drama/study. Focus on interpersonal relationships with some potentially supernatural elements.

This story is going to be heavy, with psychological thriller elements. Dealing with the “dark side of kpop” I strongly dislike how this has often been covered in the mainstream media (often through a xenophobic lens) but regardless there are many problems in the industry.

That being said, it won't be just torture/sadness p*rn. There will be hope within it + happy scenes in general.

This story will be heavily critical of minors debuting but that doesn’t  mean I’m criticising you. I’m a hypocrite, my ult group is Billlie which debuted minors. I want to warn you that if you do feel defensive about it, this may not be the story for you.
(Though I want to mention I’ve seen a very performative attitude towards the idea of minors not debuting which is very disappointing, seeing people justifying hating minors by saying they shouldn’t debut??I don’t condone this)

I want to write about how a company puts on a front of treating their idols well when not really doing so. As well as the dangers of young idols, along with how the close personal relationship between idols and their company CEOs can be problematic and unhealthy. Monetising this everyday relatable teen girl aesthetic while they rob those teenage years from them. As well as showing how things are perceived by fans vs the reality. 

Password: a fandom name suggestion. (If you don't have one just put n/a) 

The Girl
Stage name is needed for story purposes, and their real names aren't public. This can either be an obvious stage name, or simply a different name from their own birth one. I'm also happy to pick the stage name, if you would prefer that. 

Faceclaim Please avoid race-bending. Due to the sensitive topics in this story, I’ve decided I’d rather the fcs be , even though the characters are younger than that. Please do make sure to pick a fc, that can pass for the character's age over the 3 years of their activity. In general, I’d recommend using 2000 - 2005 liners.

For this story it would be best if they fit the Korean beauty standards including foreign members- I don’t mean they can’t have unique features (in fact I would love them too) but essentially if you feel like a bunch of netizens will start ragging on them for their looks. (Including if they think they look “plastic”) probably not right for this story. Of course, I am very against the ridiculous expectations and rigid beauty standard, but part of the point of this story is to have a cast that does fit them, that seems to fit so many of the perfect idol criteria

I also ideally would like photos of the fcs with brown or black hair, and decent photos available, as I'm playing around with coding and aesthetics for this. But as long as they’re are good quality photos they don’t need to be idols. (Actors or models are also fine)

Ages listed on the plotlines are just recommendations not rules except for the club. However, all the characters must be between 13 - 18 at debut. As the story is meant to be about going through the industry at such a young age. 

Backstory since the cast will be quite young and a lot of the story will be about the hardship and trauma they experience as idols and trainees, my preference would be for the backstories of the majority of the cast not to be too heavy. They can have baggage, as most people do. But considering the heavy topics that will be addressed in the story I just don’t want it to feel overwhelming. In general more focused on the personality than backstory. If you’re unsure if an idea you have is too much for the story feel free to dm me, I don’t want to prevent ideas from flowing, but I guess I would at least want half of the cast to have kind of normal/not too heavy backgrounds. But if you do want to give a bit more of a darker past I’d recommend choosing one of the less heavy plotlines.

 Personality, Trivia, etc
are very important for this story. I’m planning for this to be a bit of a character study very focused on their emotional struggles. Specifics on what is needed for these are on the app.
If you have any ideas of things you’d like to happen during the story and how they might affect your girl I’d love to read about that!
I just need to feel I know her and understand her. Her mind, and how others perceive her. 

Romance & Relationships  
I’d like to be able to understand their relationship with their family well, how they feel about them being in the idol life and how much they are keeping an eye on them (if any). It would also be useful to know how they’d feel if they went missing one day…. The connections your character has is important as part of the story will be set after they go missing. Meaning I will be writing about, and potentially from the pov of people that knew them. And generally how they perceived them.

I personally don’t feel comfortable writing real people as love interests but I am a er for romance though, so feel free to make an oc that’s staff, a trainee, or even a friend outside the idol industry. Or you can use any member of their brother group Digi boys as their love interest. If you choose to give your character a romantic relationship with an inappropriate , or power imbalance it will be treated as morally wrong.

The Idol Please give me a clear idea of their strengths and weaknesses as an idol. (Variety, stage presence etc) due to the limited time active and how popular they were, I don’t want the members to be super scandalous or controversial, but one or two scandals are fine.

They can have a different public persona to who they are in their private lives, or be the same. Just keep in mind that the members will be vlogging, blogging, and live streaming. At least having the image of authenticity. (Whether it’s true or not for your character, is up to you.)

Positions I went with what's more common in K-pop nowadays which is having “lines” rather than main/leads positions. I hope this isn’t too confusing but the general idea is that the positions listed go from biggest focus/skill to more minor ones. This is more so how the company markets them and what skills are utilised in releases and promotions. So the talent twin doesn’t have to perfectly fit the skills listed. And I wasn’t sure if I wanted the Joker to just have a vocal position, so that one, in particular, is pretty flexible.

Talent Twin I’d rather have only one talent twin, but if you can’t find just one that fits what you have in mind you can use two at most. If you want to mention a variety twin additionally that's fine. And though I still want to see Talent Twins as a base you can use the description in the app to change the overall skill level.
