❛ TEASER 001 // INTRO。

❛ SUBZER0 ⋮ NEW SMENT GIRL GROUP // APPLY CLOSED。
SEEKING subzero.
NOvember 5, 2015

Lee Sooman watched the Inkigayo broadcasting, eyes drifting towards the ten centimeter pumps worn by the various girl group artists. Specifically f(x) and SNSD– he knew all too well of their prowesses as dancers, having watched them through their development. Yet, the heels were by no doubt hindering their potential. How fluid, balanced, and precise would they be should they have been given the typical sneakers or combat boots their male counterparts wore? The flat shoes that offered stablility and balance?

It was then the thought dawned on Lee Sooman: To hell with the concept of y heels or cute pigtails with no in-between. The KPOP female industry needed something fierce, something cool, something that would show the capability of SM's girls and girls in general– something new.

And Lee Sooman would be the one to deliver that.

In the form of SUBZER0.

 
author note

I realize this is really short (hence it's early release on the third application rather than the fifth) and I actually intended to make it longer, but after writing that last sentence, I felt that it was pretty perfect that way, haha. Expect another teaser at the seventh application! And hopefully, a longer one.
So honestly, the whole concept of this group came to mind when my best friend and I discussed the fact that girl groups are either y or cute with no in-between, and are always plagued with 7-12 centimeter heels while dancing. Dancing in general or wearing heels in general is pretty damn hard, and while doing both simultaneously is really commendable and while heels are great (I love heels being 155cm OTL), they don't exactly allow girls to dance to the best of their ability because they are pretty unbalanced. Sooooo, yea.
Anyway, this teaser was published on the third application, the official members page (consisting of my character) on the fifth, and the second teaser hopefully on the seventh. It depends on the rate at which the applications come in, so keep working! 
Also this author's note is longer than the actual teaser and I am so sorry orz.
DISCLAIMER: I pre-wrote this so I swear I'm not neglecting my responsibilities nor the reviews I have to do OTL.

Thank you!

Chapter 16: Wahhh I can't wait for this!
(pardon the late comment- I haven't checked for a while XP)
I'm just finished reading everything, and I'm surprised by how much detail and effort you put in for all of the individual teasers!
It was literally like having a little sneak peak preview into all of the personas of each of the unique girls!
I'll anticipate for your next update! Hwaiting!

Chapter 12: Yoooooo hoooo~
Hi there, sweety <3
Thank you so much for the teaser, I really enjoyed it. Especially, after a long day.
I hope you had a nice rest after your finals and just some time to chill. A lazy day/days from time to time are good for the soul. >u<
I guess you are getting comfortable with writing this applyfic?? Therefore the feeling that you wrote better? I don't know, but I end up reading this much faster than I would like to have read it. It was really good and fluent <3

I just realized that I probably fell asleep on this comment in the middle of writing and never send it HAHAHHAHAHAHHA
Gaads... I'm sorry, I swear i'm not dead XD ANYWAYS!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR, MY DEAR <3

Chapter 4: Aha I accept this waiting with an open hand, because all your writing is beautifully done. The interaction well written, and I definitely think you've nailed the art of writing everything that is detailed, precise, entertaining, but not boringly long winded. So I cannot wait to see what else you've gotten in store for the applicants, and who you've chosen.
Good luck with choosing, no pressure because either way I'll happily keep reading. Take your time, because we'll still be waiting for you. Fighting!

Chapter 12: Ohhh, I agree! this teaser was pretty great!
I enjoyed reading it too. In fact, I honestly want more OvO
And I can't help but notice~ Is the theme for this teaser about friendship and/or love? /wiggles eyebrows
They're all cuuuute!
Taemin and Jiwon are so cute tbh! Especially when she asked about the text.
I dunno? They seemed adorable. And it's Taemin! Freaking Taemin! :">
And Jinhee. Early in the morning... Why Wendy? Why? Haha!
Man, if I was Haneul and I saw Seoyul in that position, I'd be worrying too ;n;
At least, Seoyul gave out a positive news! Haha. <3
Ah, I missed this story tbh. All of your teasers are great and easy to read.
But of course, no pressure :D Just take your time, authornim.
Can't wait for the rest to be released! Good luck with choosing :)
Fighting!!
