I'm here on behalf of Miss Seohyun to bring you the news about the Lunar Festival. This year the festival will be held in Busan and as usual, everything will be handled by the company. The hotel is already being booked and as soon as I have any more information on it I will forward it to you as well. For now, I will start by informing you of the categories DIA will be nominated for, which are as follows:
1. Musician Of The Year
2. Song Of The Year, with Décalcomanie
3. Album Of The Year, with New Moon
4. Performance Of The Year, with Crush
5. Fandom Of The Year
6. Best MV, with Wind Flower
7. Fans' Choice
8. Global Artist
9. Best Dance Performance (Female), with Savage
10. Best Vocal Performance (Group), with Décalcomanie
Aside from these group categories, some of you have also been nominated individually, or as duos, namely Yeji alongside Lua from LeDeux for Best Producer/Songwriter, and Solar and Jennie together for the same award. Yeji has also been nominated for Best Choreographer alongside Lix from LeDeux, and Jennie has been nominated for the Fabulous Icon Award. Good luck with all the categories.
On a second topic, your stage performances have also been finalized and confirmed. You will be performing Crush as well as the new song Come Back Home as a group (https://youtu.be/VtPNE01XF2g), and then each of you will be partaking in some special collaboration stages with your labelmates. Yeji will be performing a dance stage with Janus' Hyunjin, songs and choreographies to be agreed upon by you (https://youtu.be/VgqKYWrsXiA), while Solar and Ruby Jane will be doing a vocal cover of T.O.P sunbaenim's song, Flower Road, with Pixie, Moonbyul and NPC1 (https://youtu.be/XrkjVRRkk00). Last but certainly not least, Yuqi, Hwangbi and NPC2 will be doing a cover stage of Jessica sunbaenim's song, Lilac (https://youtu.be/f_ufPanrSrE).
Lastly, I also wanted to inform you about the open positions, as at the current moment there are still open spots both for hosting the festival as well as simply presenting some of the categories. I believe this would be good for some extra exposure, not that you need it, but it's never a bad thing to take on these opportunities. You may volunteer to host the festival alongside Choi Yeonjun, or if you'd prefer some of you or the group may also volunteer to present certain categories. If you're interested just shoot me a message or email and I will get in contact to get you the spot.
That is all for now, but feel free to contact me however is most convenient,
Congratulations and best of luck,
Park Junhee

Good afternoon,
I am reaching out about your manager's current break. As you must have been informed, Seohyun will be on paid leave for a short while and I have been designated to lend a hand and act as her assistant. Consequently, the good news is (or bad news, depending on perspective) that I will be helping out with the managing work for you girls.
Any questions or any trouble that arises feel free to reach out, shoot me an email or even a direct message and I'll make sure to keep an eye out and always respond.
I trust Miss Stephanie has already contacted you about the February comeback as well and the songs that will need to be submitted until then. As you should know, I work as a producer, so I will also offer to help out on that department. Feel free to run any of your suggestions by me or if you want any suggestion or opinion as well as anything else.
Best of luck,
Park Junhee

While miss Seohyun is on her much-deserved time off (ehem ehem planning her wedding ehem) it is falling on my shoulders to inform you of the much-coveted comeback!
Yes, it's been a long time, I will admit, i hope you rested well during the break because we are back in action. We have yet to close your 4-part project with the promised Compilation Album, so here we are to do just that. In this comeback, the active members will be Yongsun, Jennie, Yuqi and Yeji.
First off, what is a Compilation Album - it is something like a repackage, a mix and match of certain elements released before, in this case - the 4 releases we put out under each of your names. It will be called "Crescent" and will contain 12 tracks.
Out of those, 9 will be songs that were released before, in the 4 EPs you created, and the 3 rest will be new tracks so that after all we would have something to attract potential buyers with.
The title track to be promoted on shows will be called "Come Back Home" - I have attached the sampling and pre-mix of it to this email, as usual, the lyrics and songwriting are open for you to add your own flair to.
And what i expect from you: a list with the 9 previously released songs you want to add to the Compilation, as well as suggestions of 2 new tracks to go along with that list + "Come Back Home".
The first live stage debut of the album will be on February 10th, at the 14th annual Lunar Awards Festival, where you will perform a set of "Crush" followed by "Come Back Home". The album will drop on the next day, so you should consider finalizing your list by the middle-end of January, so we have enough time to polish the songs and prepare promotional material.
I will also soon contact you again to inform you about another Festival you will be attending at the end of this month, regarding the set for it and needed preparations.
If any other questions pop up - let me know.
Yours,
Tiffany J. Hwang

[song is Come Back Home by 2ne1, line distro will come later, lmk if anything is confusing!]
I come to you on this fine Monday evening, bearing good news. Well, for me, at least i think they are.
As you know it is September again and next week, on September 20th will be your 2nd anniversary as a group together. Yay! Happy almost birthday to DIA!
You've had many successes - our reigning Artist of the Summer queens - and this year was a particularly intense one, so the company and I wanted to make you a gift, which i think is long since deserved.
We want to present you with personalized custom handheld microphones.
You already have the in-ear monitors gifted by fans, so we want to give you the opportunity to demonstrate your personality in one more way.
The designs can be whatever you like. We will send in a representative of the vendors we work with, so don't worry about the brands. Worry only about your design.
Once the time comes - you can present your ready mics over a birthday live we will hold as has become a tradition already, alongside with the Janus boys.
They will also be receiving such mics, so you'll be free to celebrate with them again on your shared birthday.
Let me know if any questions pop up, yeah?
Yours,

I'm sending this email to inform you of a production workshop I will be holding this Friday at 11AM.
As mentioned above, the workshop will be dedicated to music production and focused mainly on recreating or personalizing existing songs into your own personal style. It will be open to everyone who wants to join, be it production newbies as well as more experienced participants. You also do not need to intend on becoming a producer to show up, the class will be open to those who just want to give it a try too.
As a recent addition to DSF, I haven't had the pleasure of meeting all of you. Some of you I have worked with, others might know me from my previous works, for those that don't know me yet, this class could be an opportunity for that.
I'll be hoping to see at least a handful of you on Friday (September 15, 2023), starting at 11AM, at the recording studio Sergio. The only thing required will be a working laptop with whatever music program you use.
You can still show up to the lesson even if you don't confirm, but I'd appreciate it if you could give me a heads up so I know how many to expect.
Best of luck,
Jun (JHVH)

[ooc note: for those who plan to partake, I highly recommend finding a song and a corresponding remake/remix that could fit your character. It is not required, but would make it more fun and give us possible content for later use. can be any song, kpop or not, western, any genre and including those that have been release for dsf groups since you'll technically just be working on the remake.
Ex: mamamoo gogobebe and its rock version. If anyone would like some recommendations I'll be glad to offer some.
I will have a starter up on friday/late thursday and tag everyone -unless u request to not be tagged- and from then on I'll leave it open throughout the weekend or until it feels finished. Tyty]
Gentlemen, the pace is picking up - the last 2 installments of this project are approaching quickly, with the 3rd one confirmed for August 1st, and the 4th one - for August 31st.
Now we will focus on EP #3 - Changbin's Version (lol), named "Sunset". It's back to the 4 songs format, with one of them being Changbin's solo and the title track - Crush. Tracklist is as follows:
Once again with an asterisk, I have marked the songs to be promoted on music shows. Only Crush will have an MV, while Bad Dream will receive a special dance video.
In Changbin's absence, his spot will be taken by our resident choreographer Mr Lee Minho, aka Lee Know, who you already know from your dance rehearsals. Of course, he will not sing but will dance alongside you in all stages required. Please treat him with the desired respect.
As usual I'm around if you have questions and meanwhile - all songs are waiting for your claims.
Yours,

Good work on the first EP! I'm so proud of your hard work, "Sunrise" has been an immense success! While you are now preparing for your trip to the US, I'm using the time to draw up this e-mail to let you know about future plans - aka, the second installment "ECLIPSE" mini-album - this one with main characters Hyunjin and Jungkook.
This is the setlist and line distros for it. Once again, I cannot tell you a finalized date of release, but for now, we will start with the comeback of Somi, and after her, will be you guys. Hyunjin and Jungkook worked hard to finalize their song selection and all demos and lyrics are attached to this e-mail.
Final tracklist will look something like this:
Something (by Hyunjin and Jungkook)**
Red Lights (by Hyunjin and Jungkook)*
Fever*
gaslighting
Mercy
Playboy
After last cycle's hard work, this round we will only showcase Something, Fever and gaslighting.
Songs marked with an asterisk will have MVs, and "gaslighting" will have a choreography video released for it.
I've booked the needed studios for you - the songs are waiting to be polished and recorded. As usual, hit me up if something needs to be made more clear.
Yours,
Tiff-noona

Decided to save you a visit and send you all the needed deets over e-mail, so you have them all in one neat place.
This is the setlist and line distros for the upcoming EP to be released in a couple of days, called "Sunrise". Hanbinnie has finalized his song selection and all demos and lyrics are attached to this e-mail.
Final tracklist will look something like this:
0x1=Lovesong (I Know I Love You)**
Chained Up
Nightmare
illa illa (Hanbin solo)
In Changbin's absence, one of our trainees will substitute for him during live stages - Kang Yeosang, get acquainted with him. He will not be singing, Changbin's parts will run as a backtrack, he will only dance. Make sure to make him feel comfortable and welcome during rehearsals!
We will try to show all group songs in music shows, to bring more attention to the Janus brand, so gear up.
I've booked the needed studios for you, for last minute recordings or rehearsals. As usual, hit me up if something needs to be made more clear.
Yours,

It looks like the file linked for my girls' Monster performance is just the Red Sun track, so is the "and Janus" part a mistype or will there be something special that I need to make note of?

Subject: Jakarta Dream Concert performance
Hi, gang!
I'm going to keep this short and sweet since there's not really a ton of information to relay. Big news, but little details.
On April 14th, the DSF team will be flying out to Jakarta for the Jakarta Dream Concert that takes place on the 16th. You five will be performing "Drum." Some of you are familiar with it, others aren't. Please help each other during practice and reach out to me or relevant staff if you need to. If you have questions, send them my way.
Also, I need you to be on your best behavior when we get out there. None of you are children, all of you have brains, and I expect you to act as such. That includes inside and outside of the venue. If you're going to go out and enjoy your free time, do it responsibly because it's your own career and image you're ultimately messing with. You didn't have to be chosen for this opportunity at all, so don't squander it or it'll be awhile before you get another.
Fighting!

Bonjour my lovelies!
I'm a busy lady and don't have time to meet you all in person like I would like, so reply to this e-mail if you have any questions, but for the love of GOD, do NOT reply all! No one likes that.
Anyways, onto business.
We're going to Indonesia! Jakarta, to be specific. We are to perform a Dream Concert for our Indonesia fans. The concert set list has already been built and approved (managers, you'll find a follow-up e-mail including the set list details for your artists), and we are to take flight around April 14. Concert date: April 16. If you're not there, you're fired. I'm kidding (but I'm not kidding, Choi Seunghyun).
The set list includes our trainees, soloists, and groups, including aurora. As it is aurora's final performance as a group, they will be closing the concert.
Like I said, any questions, reply to me, and me only. Managers, be on the look out for the following e-mails.
Thank you thank you!

Sorry I had to cancel the one day I could fully dedicate to you guys' individual sessions this week. I was busy pretty much all day Wednesday with Hongik and graduation stuff, but I promise to make it up to you and open up an extra day next week. As soon as I know, I'll send out the schedule so you can sign up :)
Anyway, I also realized it's been a while since we've all hung out and just done something fun! So, there will be a group "class" on Monday where we'll be playing a game or two. Obviously, it'll be vocal focused so I don't get in too much trouble, but I'm sure you're probably tired of working on technique day in and day out
Since it's just meant to be a good time, this isn't obligatory. Just come if and when you'd like to. Bring your own snacks
When: Monday, 27 February 2023; 10:30 AM-whenever the last person leaves

Good day, all trainees!
My name is Jinah and I’m the newest choreographer as well as a modelling teacher in town!
Since the only way to meet my students is through lessons and workshops, I have decided to hold a class on contemporary dance! to give a brief introduction on what it is: Contemporary dance is a style of interpretive dance that embraces innovation, blending techniques from various genres, including classical ballet, jazz, modern dance, and lyrical dance.
I will be attaching a short video of how this type of dance look like to get a gist so please do watch it before coming into class and do have a list of questions you might want to ask during the lesson too. The following details as to where it will be are listed below;
location: Studio Lesotho
date: 16 February 2023
time: 1000hrs
duration: 8 hours inclusive of one and a half hour break.
Last and not least, please correspond with your availability for the day. Attendance is compulsory unless you provide a reasonable excuse to why you can’t come. Looking forward to meeting you all!
Note: Please come in appropriate attire and make sure you do have a pair of socks on since we will be dancing shoe-free!

[[ ooc note: it will be held from 15-18 feb GMT +8 and this is points-cumulative as well as dice-rolling to decide your muse’s outcome. these deets will be shared on the block period itself. see you all! <3 ]]
I'll keep it short but, basically, you three will be participating in the upcoming Carat XY mixtape. For those who don't know, this is a recurring collaboration project among company artists, each mixtape having its own theme. This installment's theme is Western collaborations and each of you has a place somewhere.
Jisu - you will be participating in "More" along with Aurora's Pixie and Lisa, as well as Madison Beer and Jaira Burns.
Wheein and Sua - you will be a part of "I'll Show You"; this track will be with DIA's Solar and Ruby Jane, as well as Bekuh BOOM and Annika Wells.
I've attached the relevant files, so I'm expecting you to get to work on learning your parts and being ready to go when you're called upon. Contact the coaches if you need help with preparation. Text or call me if you need help with anything else.
Let's work hard, okay? This is an amazing opportunity that a lot of debuted artists don't even get to have. Fighting!
