Hello my favorite group ( shh! don't tell the others ) , it's manager Sica. I know you all have been busy with upcoming promotions, but lets take a moment to rewind for just one second. Have you all been wondering if your group is fully complete? You have the name, the fans, the concept but something isn't quite there....
YOUR VERY OWN LIGHT STICK!
Every established group in k-pop has one and now it's your turn to pick your very own which will represent your group and fandom. This is what truly solidifies you as a whole, a badge of honor if you will. Now, the company has indeed picked a selection of designs with our creative department that encapsulates you and your brand; however, if you have any suggestions of your own please do not hesitate to send them in.
Stunning huh? Now it's up to you as a group to decide which light stick you all prefer or send in your own and the company will look it over and get back to you. I hope you all enjoyed this little surprise! I hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you for your time ,
Jessica Jung

Good evening, Coach Chungha-nim!
Though my schedule with the ongoing promotion is rather packed, I would love to dedicate what time I could to helping out the trainees. I too benefitted from the time of debuted idols during my training, so this will perhaps be a chance to pay that forward.
If you could send over a memo for when and where you are currently planning said scheduled session I will endeavour to persuade the managers for me to be able to attend.
Kindest regards and well wishes,

Good morning my lovely idols!
I am holding an Introductory Session for the trainees on Monday morning to walk them through exactly how our lessons are going to go in preparation for their future debuts. I am in need of some volunteers out of you all, preferably at least two men and two women. Please discuss amongst yourselves who will be coming, and let me know prior to the session so I can prepare for you.
You're all doing wonderful thus far and I'm glad to see most of you are still keeping up with the exercises I've given you throughout your various rest periods.
[] this will be a session chungha is holding that lasts about one ooc week starting sunday night/monday morning (depending on timezone). if i could get four of you to volunteer to be a part of it, that would be absolutely fantastic! shouldn't take too long, we can do long responses so we're not waiting on back and forth.

Good morning everyone!
My name is Kim Chungha, and I am the vocal coach here at Diamond Soul Factory. I firstly would love to congratulate all of you on the work you put into 9 Lives—for trainees, everybody is doing really well.
With that being said, I am going to be hosting an Introductory Session for you all to see exactly how I hold vocal coaching sessions here. We pride ourselves on our idols always singing live during a show, whether it's during regular promotions, a special awards show, or a concert. As such, I'll not only be guiding you through using your voices healthily while singing or rapping, we will also be working on your stamina.
Dress comfortably and I'll see you at the DSF gym bright and early Monday morning!
[] this will be a session chungha is holding that lasts about one ooc week starting sunday night/monday morning (depending on timezone). not a requirement but strongly encouraged for those who want to be vocalists of their group!

Hello my beautiful and talented trainees - soon to be idols- of DSF! What a week it has been for you all, huh? 9Lives is officially over, debut is just on the horizon.You have made your seniors and mentors proud , congrats.
Now to business, 9Lives was a huge success. It peaked #2 on the naver trending topics and the finale had over 2 million viewers world wide! That being said, we want to ride the high off this success, we have had a few magazines itching to get a shoot with our trainees, but we feel like it's too early. Big things are coming but for now we believe it's best to release photos of our own. This will mark your first offcial photoshoot being presented to the public. Good luck !
() you do not have to participate , but this could be the start of a photoshoot thread between groups or you can just post your characters photos to their instas and call it a day. the main dsf insta page will post the groups shots.
Thank you for your time ,

I think I speak on behalf of all of us when I express our excitement for the upcoming comeback.
We are also delighted to see what the 9Lives contestants are prepping in terms of the digital single. We have seen some of the preparation they have done so far and believe they have settled for their desired track, though we know it could be subject to change still. I will however include it in the tracklisting below, both as a curtesy and a placeholder.
The following list has been discussed by us all in the dorm, and has us all excited. With it being our first proper album we wanted it to both be a new step forward, though at the same time give a bit of a fresh coat of paint to the songs that got us here.
Do let us know if there are any alterations you would foresee to be in our benefit.
Tentative album title: Apego
1. Tell My Momma (Intro)
2. You in Me (Title track)
3. Don't Recall (Tentative Digital Single)
4. Trust Me (EunGin ver.)
5. Trust Me (LuaLix ver.)
6. Dimelo
7. Don't Recall (Hidden ver.)
8. Don't Recall (9Lives Live recording)
9. Oh Nana (ASTER Remix)
10. Ring the Alarm (JERIDE Remix)
11. Tell My Momma (Inst.)
12. You in Me (Inst.)
Kindest regards and well wishes,
Kwon Eunbi on behalf of LeDeux
Hello my beautiful LDX babies, manager Sica here ! As you four already know, your comeback is just on the horizon. As you know you will release a digital single with the 9Lives contestants , make that one of your main priorties in the next upcoming weeks as it is a challenge for them as well and will be aired live on the show! Exciting, I know.
That being said we should get into the details of your comeback, they are not yet fully fleshed out but will be soon enough. You all will be releasing an album of 12 tracks and is , as of now, set to be released somehwere in early October.
1. intro or bside
2. Title song
3. digital single
4. member duet 1
5. member duet 2
6. another feature or another bside
7-12. instrumentals and remixes
You will need to discuss amongst yourselves for tracks 1,2,4,5,6 , you have been given the reigns. please submit a cohesive tracklist to management in two weeks or else your tracklist will be chosen for you! tracks 7-12 are optional but if you wish to include your favorite remix or instrumental that is fine , if not that is fine too.
Remember you have free creativity, the duets can be however you wish them to be. boys vs girls, boy/girl. (note they do NOT have to be like KARD)
That is all I have for you now, if you have any questions or concerns you know my email and/or my number. Remember, two weeks! Get to work ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you for your time ,

Subject: Behavioral Issues and Rules
--
Hello beautiful the beautiful shining stars of DSF! I am writing you all through email instead of in dorm visits and group meetings because I am currently out of country; however, when I return I will be making my rounds.
That being said, I am writing this in regards to an issue that has been brought to the forfront of my attention. DSF in itselff is and has always been a lientent and forgiving company. Unlike most entertainment companies, we pride ourselves in letting our idols express themselves freely for the most part, but make no mistake that actions do have consequences.
Most of you are grown adults old enough to drink, to party and to stay out without needing a curfew; we encourage you live life to the fullest but please be mindful that you are still under contract. We do still have rules in place for you all to help protect not only the DSF brand but your brand in which you have started here with us. I would advise some of you look back over said contract as violations can end in suspensions, fines and even terminations. The board has been very kind and they have put up with many incidents in the past and let them be bygones but it seems there's a reoccurring pattern.
Not only do your actions reflect DSF , but they also reflect your group and who you are as idols. Not only does it make it harder for your group when you act without thinking, it makes it harder for the staff behind the scenes to clean up your mess as we are the ones who have to perform damage control.
All we ask is to be mindful of your position and also remember that no one is above the contract.
Thank you for your time and make sure you read this well,
Jessica Jung

Hello and good morning girls!
I am travelling to Japan for a business trip, so this will be an email (you probably prefer that anyway). I have confirmed the details of your comeback with Tiffany and forwarded them to your manager. You'll find below the complete tracklist for your mini album comeback.
It will be called 'Le Destin', released in tandem with Janus' comeback of course. And don't worry, there's plenty more work and fun to be had in the future after that as there will also be a repackage album.
As always, let me know if you have questions!
Tracklist:
Whistle (intro)
Playing With Fire
Forever Young
I'm Your Girl (Ruby Jane x Yeji unit) [Khan]
Falling in Love
Starry Night

Subject: IMPORTANT -- YOUR FIRST MISSION.
Good day, everyone!
As you know there will be an upcoming show soon that features the DSF trainees. Please note that there will be no eliminations but it will also be televised. Rather we'd like to showcase you to the public prior to debuting. There will be five (5) episodes; different missions and panelists from the DSF artists and staff who will also be your mentors. Each episode is themed after specific artists in DSF. With this in mind, you are encouraged to approach debuted DSF artists and staff for advice or help.
The subject line means what it says, this is for your first mission. You can submit anything that would show off your best skills like the following: freestyle a solo performance, cover a previously released song, or even something you have been working on unreleased so far. Anything goes but be reminded that this is a solo mission. Also please note too that there will be a live audience in the studio, although not a big one so but it will help you get used to being on stage.
If you have any inquiries or thoughts/hesitations, do let me know or you may go straight to Ms. Hwang.
Lastly, kindly send demo of your performance [the videos you plan to use IC] they plan to do to Ms. Hwang's email (in PMs). NO UNPLEASANT SURPRISES PLEASE, let's keep it PG.
To summarize:
- You have until July 4th to PM me a demo of your solo performance for Mission 1.
- There will be a panel and live audience.
- Your debut is riding on your participation in this show - there will be no eliminations, but good participation will secure sooner debut.
- Once all demos are approved - the show will begin, so it's only up to them to work faster.
Good luck, kids. Make me proud!
