[Kang-to @MNM110897: Fantasia ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ How is the group name Fantasia ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ After all that drama, the name for the kids about to debut is Fantasia ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Sigh… Fck… I seriously want to die. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ No, I want to kill everyone. Hehe ^^… So after wrapping up the show, this is what you do? Play with the producer’s self-insert fantasy? Are our kids cursed or something? Hehe… I was nervous about Kang Hyuk and Crown, but what the hell are these The World bastards doing? I seriously want to check if they’re sane. What on earth do they want to do… hehe, fck, what is it that you want to do!]

[Kang-to @MNM110897: Ahhh, Joo Wooyoung’s concept photo is out? Huh? I’m not excited at all. I don’t know what they’re trying to do, but I feel like this will only end when The World is destroyed ^^ Let’s settle this today. ㅎㅎㅎ I wonder if our kids are crying. Just wait, I’ll definitely get revenge for them.]

[Kang-to @MNM110897: Paladin ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ So Joo Wooyoung is a Paladin? A Holy Knight of the Holy Kingdom ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Seriously, is The World in their right mind? What kind of concept is this? None of it makes sense. And the background description is unnecessarily detailed ㅎㅎㅎ He stopped by a slave market and accidentally bought Lee Unha ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I don’t know where you found this writer, but I hope you spend time caring about our kids’ dreams instead of unfolding your own fantasy…]

[Kang-to @MNM110897: But seriously, our Wooyoung is so unnecessarily handsome that I have to fangirl a littleㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Kudos to Wooyoung for pulling off this garbage concept perfectly. I think the halo effect in the back is definitely the highlight.]

[Kang-to @MNM110897: Honestly, I’m even more annoyed because the quality is unnecessarily good ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Ah. This is seriously no joke… ㅋ Now I’m in a state of total despair. They say the Mercenary class will be revealed in 3 hours. Are they making a game right now? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I’m literally laughing out of shock now ^^]

[Kang-to @MNM110897: <Mercenary> Mmm, I knew this would be Kim Taeyeol. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I’m not just randomly guessing; the image fits him perfectly. He doesn’t give off that noble vibe like Joo Wooyoung or Jegal Hwi… he definitely has that feeling of someone who clawed his way up from the bottom ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Especially after saying no one thought they’d debut ㅋㅋㅋㅋ And now he’s a Mercenary ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is absolute madness ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why is he carrying so many weapons? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I’m laughing now, but if they actually go on stage dressed like that, I’m going to pass out…. Oh, the <Mage> is being revealed in 3 hours. I think I can guess this. It’ll be Kim Haejun… ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[Kang-to @MNM110897: As expected, it’s Kim Haejun. I had a feeling. It was true ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Ah, I’m seriously annoyed. aejun even came out wearing glasses. What’s up with the staff and the book? Why does it suit him perfectly? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Ah ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He’s the King of the Magic Kingdom, but why is he also the Master of the Magic Tower? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[Kang-to @MNM110897: Next is <Priest>. Mmm, I knew this would be Jung Taehee ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ But Taehee feels like some kind of fanatic cultist. His eyes have that weird innocent-yet-unhinged look ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I hope I’m not the only one who thinks so.]

[Kang-to @MNM110897: Honestly, this is kind of embarrassing, but I’m actually starting to enjoy this….ㅎㅎ But as expected, reactions are pretty divided… I was like that at first too. Yeah, I won’t criticize anyone for it.]

[I-Love-Karima @KAZMMMMM1: The others are great, but I think Taehee really suits this. He feels incredibly devout.]

[I-Love-Karima @KAZMMMMM1: Mmm… I have a theory based on the lore, but I don’t think the Priest is actually serving a god. If you look closely, the symbols in the background are all inverted compared to the Paladin, Joo Wooyoung.]

[Kang-to @MNM110897: OMG, goosebumps. Okay, so what’s left? Ah… Swordsman, Elementalist… and Dark Mage.]

[Kang-to @MNM110897: <Swordsman> was Hwi, just as I expected. Ah, I should be sleeping but I can’t because of the kids’ lore… But why is it Swordsman and not Knight? Well, I don’t get it, but the official setting says Swordsman, so I’ll go with that.]

[Kang-to @MNM110897: Wait, so the <Elementalist> is Baek Suhyeon? Mmm… does it fit him?]

 

↔ Reposted by Reilia 5 hours ago

[Kang-to @MNM110897: No, it strangely suits him well. Honestly, I never thought Baek Suhyeon could pull off something like this…ㅎㅎ The spirits’ designs are so well-made. Seeing the photo of Baek Suhyeon smiling with the spirits is so healing. Ah, I want to keep gushing but I’m too sleepy to keep my energy up… Now only Unha is left. I’ll check Unha and then finally sleep.]

[I-Love-Karima @KAZMMMMM1: Wow! This is actually really good! I was expecting it, but I think it suits him the best out of all the concepts so far. Maybe it’s because we’ve already seen him with a similar image on stage once before, so it feels familiar… but it’s definitely great. The only thing that’s a little unexpected is….]

[I-Love-Karima @KAZMMMMM1: Maybe only Unha could pull something like this off. His eyes are beautiful, after all. Perhaps they covered the rest of his face on purpose to emphasize his eyes?]

[Kang-to @MNM110897: Crazy. Insane! Unha is too… I can’t even find the words! AAAAAAAAHHHH! What do I do! I’m going crazy! How does it suit him so well!!! It’s absolute chaos. I feel like I’m being sucked into his pupils! What is this! But why, why on earth!!! Why hide his face?! I mean, it’s still great! It feels decadent. Is it okay for him to look like this? Is this allowed?]

[I-Love-Fantasia @KAZMMMMM1: I felt like I should organize this, so I’ll post a summary shortly.]

 

↔ Reposted by Reilia 2 hours ago

[I-Love-Fantasia @KAZMMMMM1: To summarize…]

[ <Dark Mage> Lee Unha ]

[ <Swordsman> Jegal Hwi ]

[ <Mage> Kim Haejun ]

[ <Paladin> Joo Wooyoung ]

[ <Mercenary> Kim Taeyeol ]

[ <Priest> Jung Taehee ]

[ <Elementalist> Baek Suhyeon ]

 

[The members’ abilities and equipment haven’t been fully revealed yet, so I’ll organize those separately later. Anyway, it’s a very bold attempt (to put it nicely…). Perhaps because the group name is Fantasia, they literally borrowed classes from standard SRPGs or fantasy novels, surprisingly they totally fit the members.]

 

[Everyone who watched <Idol Classism> already knows about Dark Mage Lee Unha… since they used similar concepts on the show, it doesn’t feel out of place. It’s actually fun to compare each member’s individual setting with the incidents that happened on the show.]

 

[For example, the narrative that the Paladin saved the Dark Mage from a slave market, or how the Mage and the Priest once fought. It’s slightly dramatized, but not strange at all.]

 

[Another interesting part is the party composition. Members who clearly have good stamina or look like the physical type were put in the front line, while all other members are conceptualized as the back line.As everyone already knows, the physically weak trio—Unha, Taehee, and Haejun—have always looked like the type to stay as far away from exercise as possible… ㅎㅎ]

 

[Of course, I completely understand why many people can’t accept this concept. I’ve been a fan of this kind of genre for a long time myself, which is probably why I’m able to view it more positively.]

 

[The best part is that it doesn’t look like a cheap costume. Of course, it’ll be a problem if they stand on stage in that exact outfit, but I don’t think they’ll go that far no matter how reckless they are… ㅎㅎ (just a hopeful wish).]

 

[What I like most is that the lore looks solid. No, it actually is very solid. I’m reading the lore that was released together with Lee Unha’s concept photo right now… They definitely didn’t throw this together carelessly.]

 

[Normally I’d say it’s better to leave things like place names and maps to the audience’s imagination, so I don’t know why they’re going this far, or whether the rumors about them eventually releasing a game are actually true, but regardless, I’m genuinely enjoying watching this whole process unfold.]

 

[I hope you all don’t get too angry and just try to enjoy it.]

 

“…….”

 

“…….”

 

“…….”

 

“How am I supposed to enjoy this?”

 

At this completely unpredictable turn of events….

 

I tried my best to think positively, but….

 

“How am I supposed to enjoy this, seriously….”

 

“…….”

 

“This isn’t something you can just sit back and enjoy.”

 

“…….”

 

“I can’t enjoy this.”

 

All I could do was grit my teeth.
