MAD ENTERTAINMENT ALWAYS DID HAVE THE MOST SURPRISING WAYS OF HAVING THEIR IDOLS DEBUT OR COMEBACK STAGES.
They were never, ever normal. For example, when Rondo had their comeback last 2012, they landed in South Korea for their comeback- but the moment they exited the plane, there was a stage smack somewhere in front of Incheon Airport, and they performed their comeback song for the first time. MAD Entertainment always began things with a bang. They are definitely the best when it comes to stage performances- in fact, one of MAD's groups active in the States had one stage in which they flew over the audiences- from the upper box back to the stage using a zipline of all things.
But this was what defined MAD, and the reason MAD had earned so much love. Plus the fact MAD Entertainment had some of the most natural artists- not just physically, but in terms of how they act as well.
But that wasn't the point of this chapter. The point is-
How Quiescence debuted.
Like mentioned, MAD came up with the most ingenious ways of how they debut- it was absolutely, not surprising- they managed to be able to have Quiescence debut on the Mnet Asian Music Awards. Yes, Quiescence debuted on the MAMA Awards. Might I emphasize, the MAMA Awards.
The only other MAD Kingdom present at the event was of course, Euterpe's Eve, Rondo's Ixa, Iya, Iza plus the whole of EXO - N.
"Fighting!" cheered EXO - N for their- technically speaking- hoobaes. Both groups bowed to each other before EXO - N was immediately ushered away to hide.
"It never makes sense to me why EXO - N must stay away from the rest of EXO." Raok- on stage known as OK commented softly.
"It's probably for the fans." murmurs Raven, fixing her earpiece. It was the first stage- and they had to sing as emotional as they could dance. Quiescence had a cool and collected concept. It wasn't that they had not a single emotion- they just have no reactions. The three ladies nodded in agreement to Raven.
"It's our turn now." hummed Saera who went by the stage name Sera, her eyes locked with the PD who shook a bit after meeting her gaze.
"Let's show them what MAD is all about." Kumiko, stage name Yumi brushed back some of her hair and they got into positions to perform, back to back- Touch and Hush. The four girls touched faintly, in their own reassuring manner, each other's shoulders- sharing looks before they got into position.
"HOW IS EVERYONE OUT THERE?"
The fans all but screamed louder than ever after seeing the another incredibly popular idol host the MAMA Awards.
Zen Aiya. Her stage name was Aya, and she was the former leader of Rondo, right before she graduated and Hasegawa Chiaki aka Iya took over.
Aya, Aya was just ridiculously beautiful and talented. She was a true idol Queen, and it was a total shame she had left Rondo. That was the only thing- only possible flaw of Rondo to the fans- they were rotational. Not every member stayed in the group forever- physically that is.
Aya smiled at the fans reaction to her surprise appearance, her long white gown shimered under the light.
"I've been missing for some time now, but I promise you- I've recovered from my sickness, I did my best to appear in front of all of you today." The fans screamed even louder. "But tonight, I'm not here to talk about myself... Have you all heard?"
The fans screamed even louder in anticipation, of course they've heard of Quiescence.
MAD Ent's newest group, since- 2010.
While the fans would enjoy it if MAD would please release a boy group some time in the future, never had a single group or artist under MAD disappointed. Besides, Areum was just amazing when it came to making new groups or new concepts.
"Neh, MAD Entertainment's newest girl group since 2010 with LooK." the fans screamed loudly after hearing the name of the MAD Ent's girl group that debuted first in the USA. "- and recently we can't forget our very own, Eden- our name for EXO - N." The fans screamed louder, Aya herself glanced at the male members of EXO who clapped loudly and smiled at the mention of the sisters they couldn't actually meet. "But today, this November 22nd, I am more than happy to present the newest members of MAD Kingdom! Please welcome- Quiescence!"
The stage darkens as Aya joins the other artists to the side- getting respectful bows from the other idols like 2NE1, APink, Big Bang, EXO, Infinite before joining her MAD Kingdom sisters- Eve, Ixa, Iya and Iza- to the side cheering for their dongsaengs- as rose petals began falling from the ceiling, and the stage lifted- showing a huge golden antique style bird cage- with golden rose vines creeping upwards. A long intro played, as a tinted red spotlight landed on the 4 young ladies in the cage with dramatic makeup. There was a golden bench with delicate designs in the middle of the huge cage. Two of the girls were facing the crowd, while the other two faced the back- with this, you can see their s- all 4 girls were dressed in black laced dresses in different patterns with an open back, slightly loose around the hips, and trailing just a bit at the back. They wore matching heels, and slowly stood- the gate opening automatically, as they escaped the cage with smooth and graceful walking, going from the main stage to the extended stage- splitting into two groups before meeting back up together at the center of the extended stage- where just earlier, Aya stood- and were the other artists accepted awards.
They struck a pose, and the fans screamed louder in excitement as the actual song began and OK began the song with a soft, seductive and whispery voice.
"Dachin nae gaseumen nugudo saranghal suga eopda-
No one can love my closed heart
Geureoke mideonneunde eoneusae nae gaseumi yeolligo isseo..."
That's what I believed but at some point, my heart is beating...
The fans all screamed even louder as the light brightened to get a good look on the faces of the 4 newest additions to the MAD Kingdom.
They were beautiful.
Too beautiful, amazingly delicate looking-
... like dolls.
"They will leave the impression of breakable and delicate looking dolls, but I assure you they are far from that," Areum's eyes glinted with secrets at the press conference where she confirmed the debut of a new group. "I assure you, they will bewitch. Please anticipate them."
