The announcement had set off a wave of emotions in both the virtual world of ARMY and the very real world of BTS. As the members navigated the unexpected twist in their plans, the countdown to India had begun, and the chaos showed no signs of slowing down. As Suga lounged on the couch, seemingly impervious to the frenzy around him, Manager Lee Jihoon continued his battle against the ticking clock. With passports accounted for and the vase incident reluctantly forgiven, the members finally made their way to the waiting cars.
The car ride to the airport was a mix of laughter, banter, and mild panic. Jin, still distressed about the antique vase, lectured the members on the importance of handling delicate objects. RM, attempting to lighten the mood, chimed in with his newfound knowledge about the lifespan of flamingos. Jin said "I can't believe that vase is gone. It had history!" RM expressing a philosophical perspective, mentions "Flamingos, on the other hand, have a lifespan of about 20 to 30 years."
As Jhope chuckled and said "Are you seriously talking about flamingos right now? We're about to catch a flight!"...."Maybe we'll see flamingos in India. Do they have them there?" Jimin said while grinning, As Taehyung sarcastically said "Sure, Jimin. India is known for its flamingos."
Suga, with his eyes still closed, entered the conversation with his signature dry humor "Maybe the flamingos in India have a special talent for classical singing. We're there for auditions, after all." The car erupted in laughter, momentarily distracting everyone from the impending chaos at the airport.
As they arrived, the bustling scene made it clear that the adventure was just beginning. Airport staff ushered them through security, fans clamored for a glimpse, and reporters bombarded them with questions. The bodyguards, now in full protective mode, formed a barricade to ensure a safe passage.
"BTS, how do you feel about the collaboration in India?" A reporter asked. Jin still mourning the vase said, "We're excited about the collaboration, but please, handle vases with care."
"What are you looking forward to the most in India?" reporter asked as RM smiled and said "Discovering the vibrant culture and, hopefully, not breaking any more antiques. "The questions kept coming, and Suga, always the straight shooter, addressed the situation in his own way.
"Suga, any words for the fans eagerly awaiting your arrival in India?" A reporter asked Suga as Suga with his forever deadpan face said "Get ready for the unexpected. And, please, keep the vases away from us."
With that, BTS continued their journey through the airport, navigating the sea of fans and media, each member contributing to the chaos in their own way. Little did they know, the surprises waiting for them in India were just beginning, and the journey ahead promised to be a rollercoaster of laughter, challenges, and perhaps a few more unexpected twists.
In the heart of India, within a cozy studio nestled amid the vibrant cityscape, Y/n immersed herself in the world of classical music. Surrounded by the echo of her own voice and the rich tapestry of Indian melodies, she practiced diligently, the anticipation of the upcoming auditions weighing on her shoulders.
Aisha observed Y/n from the control room. The walls resonated with the soulful strains of classical compositions as Y/n poured her heart into each note. Aisha couldn't help but smile at the dedication and passion radiating from her. Aisha through the studio intercom said "Y/n, that was incredible! Your voice is like a finely tuned instrument. You've got this!"
Y/n's voice slightly shaking while saying "You think so?" As Aisha enthusiastically replied "Absolutely! You're the perfect blend of tradition and innovation. The auditions won't know what hit them." Y/n, however, wasn't convinced. In her mind, doubt lingered like a stubborn shadow. The uncertainty of being relatively unknown in the Indian music scene gnawed at her confidence. Y/n hesitantly said "But Aisha, what if I'm not what they're looking for? I'm not exactly a household name in India."...."That's precisely why this collaboration is so exciting! It's a chance to showcase your unique talent to a new audience. Trust me, you've got the potential to leave a lasting impression." Aisha said while encouraging y/n.
Y/n sighed and said "I know, but it's BTS! What if they expect someone more established?"..... "BTS is all about breaking boundaries and discovering new talent. Believe in your ability, Y/n. Your voice transcends borders." Aisha said while reassuring y/n... As Y/n continued to practice, Aisha decided to bring in the ultimate source of comfort and encouragement - Y/n's mom. She dialed her number, knowing that a mother's words held a special kind of magic.
Aisha (on the phone): "Hello, Aunty It's Aisha.
Y/n's mom (warmly): "Aisha, dear! How's my daughter doing?
"Aisha (smiling): "She's pouring her heart into the practice, but she's feeling a bit nervous. I thought your words of encouragement might help."
Y/n's mom (affectionate): "Put me on speaker, sweetheart."
Y/n's mom: "Y/n, my love, I heard you're working hard. Remember, you have a gift, a voice that can touch hearts. It doesn't matter if you're not as well-known in India. What matters is the passion you put into your music. The right people will recognize that."
Y/n (teary-eyed): "Mom, I'm just afraid of letting everyone down."
Y/n's mom: "Sweetheart, you're not letting anyone down. You're stepping onto a new stage, facing new challenges. That takes courage. And remember, I'll always be your biggest fan, cheering you on no matter what."
Aisha (nodding): "Aunty, you're a gem. Your words are a balm for Y/n's soul."
Y/n's mom: "Y/n, trust in yourself. You're capable of greatness. And even if things don't go as planned, it's all part of the journey. I love you, and I'm proud of you."
Y/n (voice breaking): "I love you too, Maa."
"Y/n, you've got a support system that believes in you. Now, let's channel that energy into your practice. We're creating magic here!" Aisha said emotionally as Y/n wiped away her tears, a newfound determination sparked within her. With her mom's words echoing in her heart and Aisha's unwavering support, she resumed her practice, determined to give her very best in the auditions that awaited her. The countdown to the collaboration continued, and Y/n was ready to embrace the challenge with courage and conviction.
As the chaos of preparations for the collaboration unfolded, Manager Lee Jihoon found himself faced with the task of coordinating the audition process with the company. With the clock ticking and the anticipation building, he hastily dialed the company representative to discuss the details of the audition forms and selection criteria.
Lee Jihoon (calmly but urgently): "Hello, this is Lee Jihoon, BTS's manager. We need to discuss the logistics of the audition process for the collaboration in India."
Company Representative: "Ah, Manager Lee! Of course, we're thrilled about this collaboration. What specifics do you need to iron out?"
Lee Jihoon (straight to the point): "Firstly, we need to finalize the criteria for selecting the audition forms. What are we looking for in the potential candidates?"
Company Representative: "We're aiming for vocalists with a strong foundation in classical music but with a versatility that can blend seamlessly with BTS's style. Originality and stage presence are crucial."
Lee Jihoon (nodding): "Got it. And how do we plan on accepting these audition forms? Online submissions, in-person auditions, or a combination of both?"
Company Representative: "Considering the current global situation, we'll opt for online submissions. We want to give aspiring artists from all corners of India a chance to participate. We'll set up a dedicated portal for the forms."
Lee Jihoon: "Good. And the timeline? How long do we have for this process?"
Company Representative: "We'll keep the submission window open for three weeks. That should give us enough time to review the forms and shortlist potential candidates."
Lee Jihoon (making mental notes): "Three weeks, online submissions. Now, how many forms are we looking to select? Are we aiming for a specific number of candidates?"
Company Representative: "Given the scale of this collaboration, we're looking to select around 50 forms for the first round. From there, we'll narrow it down through subsequent rounds of auditions."
Lee Jihoon (processing the information): "Alright, 50 forms. Anything else we need to consider?"
Company Representative: "We'll need a panel of judges, a mix of professionals from both the K-pop and classical music industries, to ensure a fair evaluation. We'll coordinate with you to finalize the judging panel."
Lee Jihoon: "Understood. We'll work on our end to make sure everything runs smoothly. Keep us in the loop with any updates."
Company Representative: "Absolutely, Manager Lee. This collaboration is generating a lot of buzz, and we want to make sure it exceeds everyone's expectations."
With the details of the audition process now outlined, Manager Lee Jihoon hung up the phone, the weight of responsibility and excitement settled on his shoulders. He knew the success of this collaboration relied not just on BTS but also on finding the perfect musical counterpart from India. With a determined expression, he headed to the practice room where the members were gearing up for their Indian adventure.
Inside the practice room, the atmosphere was a mix of anticipation and frenzied excitement. BTS members were going through their routines, discussing stage setups, and making last-minute adjustments to their performance. Lee Jihoon entered the room, drawing their attention. "Gather around, everyone. We need to discuss the audition process for the collaboration in India." he said "What's the plan, Manager Lee?" RM said while looking up from a setlist. "We'll be accepting audition forms from aspiring classical singers in India. The criteria include a strong foundation in classical music with the versatility to blend seamlessly with BTS's style. Originality and stage presence are key." lee Jihoon said.
Jin, always ready with a touch of charm and a hint of curiosity, leaned forward with a glint in his eye. "So, how are we planning to scoop up those audition forms, Jihoon?" Lee Jihoon, the bearer of unexpected news, sighed before breaking it to Jin and the rest of the members. "Well, Jin, we're going for online submissions. The forms will be up for grabs for three weeks." Jin's eyebrows shot up, mirroring the collective surprise of the group. "Three weeks? Wasn't it supposed to be, like, a week?" Suga, ever the voice of deadpan reason, chimed in, "Looks like the surprise party just got extended"
J-Hope, the eternal optimist, tried to spin it positively. "More time for hidden talents to shine, right?" Jin, still processing the delay, couldn't resist a touch of his signature humor, "I hope these forms age like fine wine in those three weeks."
And so, the bombshell of a delayed audition period landed on the BTS squad, turning the eagerly awaited audition sprint into an unexpected marathon. The countdown clock reset, and the members found themselves facing the reality of a prolonged wait before the audition madness truly began.
Lee Jihoon said "It's enough time for a substantial number of submissions. We're aiming to select around 50 forms for the first round, and from there, we'll narrow it down through subsequent rounds of auditions." As J-Hope excitedly said "That's a lot of talent to discover! How are we judging this?" ...."We'll need a panel of judges from both the K-pop and classical music industries to ensure a fair evaluation. I'll coordinate with the company to finalize the judging panel." Lee Jihoon replied. V while smiling a bit said, "This is going to be legendary!" As Jimin chimed back and said, "I can't wait to see what kind of talent India has to offer."... "Exactly. The collaboration is not just about bringing BTS to India but also about discovering incredible talent and creating something truly unique." Lee Jihoon said.
As the members absorbed the information, a wave of excitement and determination filled the room. The countdown to the collaboration had taken a significant step forward, and the journey to find the perfect musical synergy between BTS and an Indian classical artist was officially underway.
With a sense of purpose, the members returned to their preparations, fueled by the prospect of the extraordinary musical adventure that awaited them in India. Manager Lee Jihoon, satisfied with the team's response, continued to coordinate the intricate details of the audition process, knowing that the next few weeks would be filled with surprises, challenges, and the promise of discovering exceptional talent.
