Hi, so in positive news the kprofiles are up, if you want to have a look at the cast. 

But I wanted to announce that I plan on replacing Hyuna with an OC.  I’ve felt for a while it was weird to have her as the only “real” person in the story and have wondered about doing this anyway. But admittedly with the announcement of who she is dating, I don’t feel comfortable with her being a part of this story anymore. Especially with the message and theme of it.

Some characters have Hyuna in their relationships, so to keep it simple there will still be some aspects remisment of Hyuna, but you could argue similar to some other idols as well so you don’t need to worry about updating that. I’ll be picking out a fc and fleshing out her personality, I honestly feel more comfortable writing OCs anyway.

Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Wow! This looks amazing! If I saw this and didn't know where it had come from, I would legit think it was an actual kprofiles.com page. I'm getting more and more excited about this story.

As for main characters, I don't think you should announce them. I think it would discourage people to learn that their character isn't going to be a main character. Also, if I understand correctly how this fic is going to work, won't the voting affect who's going to be main characters?

Edited to add: OMG I just noticed that you put them in order by age! That is so kprofiles!

Chapter 28: After an exciting look into the pre-show drama and preparations, I'm excited to read about the contestants and how they will be presented in the beginning of the show!

Chapter 19: Have you heard of the Korean entertainer Harisu? She's clearly older than Jisoo is supposed to but maybe you could use older pictures of her (and we can pretend that she's just older looking). Between your choices, I'd vote for the thai celeb. Racebending is not ideal but I think it's a better option than using a cis woman for a trans character.

Chapter 19: Hello, this is the author for Jeon So-hee's character! I am still active but I really am only active for this story (which I'm still excited for)! So-hee has the same height and weight as Jeon Somi (172cm, 46kg).

Regarding Jisoo's faceclaim, I think that given how you are considering the pros and cons of each option, you would do either with great care. I think that using a cis-female Korean celebrity for Jisoo's fc would be preferable, though I would suggest putting a disclaimer somewhere so people know you are aware the new fc is not trans, and that you are not maliciously mis-gendering someone (which we, the applicants, already know). I agree that race-bending is not great and that it is a sensitive topic, given that a lot of Western media doesn't care to distinguish between Asian people from different companies and simply lumps everyone in together. Ultimately, it's still up to you though and I hope that whatever you decide works out!

Chapter 18: Hi sorry, please take note that I changed Yumi's fc to CSR Geumhee as I no longer feel comfortable using Yeojin as a fc due to the severe abuse Loona had suffered.
