this contest is simple: pick a rookie group or solo & make a human avatar based on them! it can be either based on a member, a concept they've done, or any of their songs. ended!

for those who don't know what rookie groups are, a quick definition: "a rookie group refers to a k-pop group which just made their TV or music video debut or stage debut on TV music station programs."
for this contest, i'll be accepting groups that debuted in or after october 2018.
prizes! 1st place: 2nd place: 3rd place:
as a bonus for this being our first contest, everyone who participates and is part of the group will receive a morty card!
here's a list of rookie groups and solos: taehyun jbj95 verivery yoon jisung m.o.n.t oneus txt ateez itzy iz*one hwasa
hi! :3c
this is my outfit inspired by taehyun's "i wanna know." as you know, i have synesthesia -- when i hear sounds and music, i see colors! both taehyun and this song are colorful to me, and i'm sure to you as well!
i wanted to capture the fun atmosphere of the song and the message in the lyrics in a soft, colorful, and energetic look and this is what i ended up with. the song is about moving past regrets and anything that might be holding someone back within a moment and relaxing; enjoying oneself even if just for a moment.

pssst... there is also ATEEZ that debuted in Oct/Nov with Pirate King~
Hopefully I'll be able to participate, but my shared outfits are broken right now. When does the contest end?

i think im going to keep up the contest until the 5th of march; so about a week! (that also gives txt a chance to get some listens when they debut) also, ateez was literally the group on my mind when i made this so im not sure how i missed them lmao
ravn is so gorgeous tbh. everyone in oneus blows me away hooh. thank you so much for entering!!
cute bih -_-
right? his lips look so soft ;w; thanks for holding this event ❤️
I love your Ravn!! You did a fabulous job recreating his outfit~!
I am sooo horrible at remembering dates...I actually thought that you had said the 8th and not 5th. I don't see that you've ended the contest, so hopefully I can still enter? If not then at least you can see what I've made~
I immediately wanted to recreated ATEEZ's HALA HALA outfits~! The MV has that lovely red accent on top of all that black... plus it's Hearts Awakened, Live Alive, so I thought the embellishment fit well. I didn't set out to make a specific member since finding good short hair and plain-ish masculine eyes is a huge struggle; I just focused on recreating the style of their outfits. It ended up looking like Yeosang to me though. Although if you take the hat off that's definitely a Wooyoung hairstyle, lol.

thanks a bunch Kanna! but Im blown away by your ATEEZ outfit - looks like a 9th member :D I have to admit I never watched the MV so far D: But I guess I have to do that now!
I was kinda hyped for the TxT debut ... but Im also a bit disaapointed, especially to hear, that the songs are not produced by the group itself, although Beomgyu and HueningKai were already working hard to produce their own songs - I hope that their own songs will be released soon ❤️
Due to lack of entries, I have decided to extend the contest until March 10th, Sunday! Hopefully this gives us a chance to receive more entries!Thank you all for entering & looking forward to seeing new people join!
thanks for the info! I really hope some fellow kpop fans will join c:
Aw thank you~! This shorter MV has a really unique 3D editing technique that is really cool!
Self-producing idols is such a big thing now and a lot of pressure on them. I'm not that surprised that the music isn't produced by them though since BTS doesn't self-produce the vast majority of their music. I hope that they are able to grow and prosper without being overly connected to BTS (even though that is unlikely).
Yay I'm not late entering a contest for once! Pinging some old(?) kpop groups~!
Hey y'all~! Join in on a fun HA contest and a new kpop forum group (tagged in the first post).
( do you know of any more to ping? )
Also, - kbops is a new kpop forum group y'all should join if you're interested~!
Soooo I wasn't sure I was even gonna enter because all the entries are amazing so far. You all did so good! I was going to do Itzy since everyone was doing males and I wanted to do something different....buuuuut then I saw TXT's mv last night and got their mini album and all the songs are bops like holy heck. I was worried going in (being a BTS stan since the very beginning) and hoping they were gonna be good just based on them, not based on their company/sunbaes. I listened to the album before watching the mv and was HIGHLY IMPRESSED. All the songs are so good. BigHit only knows how to make big hits, I swear. (please excuse my extra cheesiness lmao) Ok a bit off point there, but still. xD I tried to make an HA that would fit with their current cute and fresh concept they have going on, and took some inspo from the MV, obviously. Here is what I came up with: Private Outfit It's not amazing, but I tried! ^_^ I wish there was some kind of led drawn on crown like in the mv, but this tiny crown will do. lol
This was fun and I totally want to make more kpop dolls now!
yay!! finally, a kpop group that is active!! I"m excited! :D
I made my HA based on TXT's Crown~ Private Outfit

thanks for the adorbs contest , and thanks for the ping ! :3
ahh they all look so young and fresh faced~
well, here's my attempt to recreate one of the bois from TXT (Crown MV). i couldn't find a proper checkered backdrop/cutout anywhere, so this'll do, and i resorted to the salon instead of trawling through hundreds of wigs to get one that might've matched perfectly. but i think it's suitably cute ^^ Private Outfit
i really dig ONEUS' Valkyrie too but thought i'd end up with something too close to chi's awesome entry if i made something based on that >< same goes for Kanna's entry! ugh some badass costuming in those MVs, and cracking songs and awesome dancing to boot ❤ and i'm totally joining the ping group ^^ i don't know a lot about groups and band members and such, but i'm a fan of the genre, so shyly bows i'll be in your care~

Ahhh both of your entries are so cute~!
Love the background with that sweater! Also uhggg omg the search for proper short, natural-looking hair is a Struggle™. So glad you joined the group~! I figured it would be a good way for you to get into some new bands and learn some stuff. :D
I absolutely meant to link to This Hala Hala MV in that first sentence... (I went back and edited it in now, but, oops!)
thats def a catchy song! added it to my playlist ❤️
aw thank you! your entry totally nailed Beomgyus outfit!
thank you ^^ i often find 'civilian' HAs trickier than more complicated fantastical creatures to make, and this definitely fell into the time-consuming category lol >< i wanted to get it as close to the last few seconds of the MV as i could - i guess it's the perfectionist in me

Thank you for the lovely contest (and the prizes)~! It combined two of my favorite things: kpop and HA contests!
I don't know if you saw my comment before but a thread for sharing Kpop themed HAs and/or pets would be a great idea! Also some HA contests based around a single MV or selection of similarly themed MVs?
p.s. The Mingi gif was so cute~! 😍
O_O Oh wow, I was not expecting to win at all. Thank you oh my gosh. T-T
Also, I came to this thread just thinking I was getting a good job post or something and was like ooooh who won....then got attacked by cutie happy virus Chanyeol (my EXO bias) waving and almost died. And then saw I won and then I did die. xD lmao Again, THANK YOU! And I can't wait to see what comes next. I am just so happy to be in a kpop loving group. If a thread was ever opened just to share kpop HAs we've made, I am soooo there. lol
