September 5 - December 31
The remainder of the year is very busy. I had to accept a Korean movie, and I signed the contract for the movie. I was busy with online schooling, shootings, group promotions, variety shows, and interviews, and my Chinese drama shooting was over. Leaving my focus only on the new Korean movie and one Chinese drama. The Chinese drama I am still working on was the first Chinese drama I have signed. It was a comic adaptation named The Divine Doctor.
Our debut albums got printed three times and still sold out.
In the week of October, we released a new mini album named "Echoes of Dawn". It captures the themes of the awakening lead song "Rise and Shine," the nostalgia and brightness of "Golden Days," and the raw, primal energy of "Howl." It evokes a sense of both reflection and empowerment, fitting the vibe of the songs.
The 3 songs each have music videos. We record Howl in a forest. My favorite to shoot the MV. It's a story about a young girl trying to get free from the harsh world. The music video is about a girl running away from a pack of wolves and getting help from another one, but she also betrays her.
Our albums were quick enough to sell out this time, too. Our position in the group was fixed.
We also expect Knowing Bros in November.
My favorite was to see fans' edits on the way. My favorite was my edits from the airports. Since my airport fashion is Mafia style. I have all covered up and the perfect definition of Mafia from my debut. At first, I was hated because I was not wearing clothes that matched my age. Later, people started liking it.
I also await my brother Ivan's graduation ceremony.
My collab song with BTS came out at the end of August. I had like 2 parts of the end chorus and the last chorus, and some killer parts. The song was very popular from the beginning and was viral for my cousin and me running to get out first from the screen. I also actively helped in writing and producing the songs Dynamite and Life Goes On.
Our knowing bros' show participation was one of memorability. I covered Kick It by NCT 127 in there. The intro dance by Taeyong to Haechan's first verse. It was not included, and because of a bet between me and Haechan, I covered Haechan's part too. Also, Lily and Hani's graduation from SOPA.
We got an invitation to Coachella next year.
For award shows, we did a cover of Lollipop by Big Bang and 2nei together with Treasure.
I also covered Trouble Maker with Taeyong in one of their concerts, and also covered a choreography dance for SexyBack by Justin Timberlake and Timbaland in SM's new dance practice room.
I covered Rewrite The Stars by James Arthur and Annie Marie with Jungkook. It was not live, just a video of our cover. We also did a choreography covering together for Dangerously by Charlie Puth.
We won a total of 18 Rookie of the Year awards. 4 Best Female group (overall), 8 Popularity awards (female), and a lot more awards. At the end of the award show season, we won more than 50 awards from award shows and had 32 music show wins. We also won 2 Daesangs.
We also covered Now by Fin.KL, Cherry Bomb by NCT 127, and Butterflies by Red Velvet.
