The sheer number of threads of this event got a little overwhelming for folks (me included) to keep up with!
This is a thread for people to post the summary of their character's involvement in the event; however, this is not the place to have character interactions. The event threads will still be open for a while longer, so if you want to engage with them directly, feel free!
This post will also archive some of the mentioned (vague) characters who could be adopted at a later date!
[[Mod Note End!]]
Summary:
Dreams Ent is a small South Korean entertainment company with one group to date: Yuseong. Earlier in the year, they held international auditions across multiple continents (Asia, Australia, North and South America, Europe) as well as rolling local auditions, and invited the most promising potential trainees to an audition camp where they would receive intensive training and prepare a variety of performances to put on for a final audition where the ongoing trainees would be decided.
The camp had three stages:
1) Training Boot Camp: [2019/6/15-2019/6/18]
During this period, the trainees learned the new choreo for and a vocal arrangement of a Yuseong song while getting intensive lessons geared towards their level (Advanced, Intermediate, Beginner) in dance along with one of vocal or rap. (They were encouraged to focus on one during the training camp with the knowledge that they would be able to train both if they made it through.) At the end, they were reassessed based on their skill with the song that they learned (as opposed to their original assessment based on their initial audition and a quick skill check).
2) Group Performances: [2019/6/19-2019/6/23]
The trainees split into small groups that covered the full skill range present and prepared cover stages (including rearranging choreo and vocal lines) to present to the trainers, and eventually at the final audition. (They did get the chance to continue to practice these until the end.)
3) Position Performances: [2019/6/24-2019/6/29]
The trainees split into small groups based on their preferred position/skill set. They were able to join one of: Dance, Vocal, Rap-Dance, or Vocal-Dance. Each group prepared a cover (and rearrangement in their skill area(s)) of a song of their choice to be assessed and performed at the final audition.
The last day of the training camp was the final audition with the CEO, all the trainers, and the members of Yuseong present along with an audience of family members and close friends. The event was also live streamed, and the accepted trainees were announced at the end of the live audition.
Trainee information:
The following is the basic breakdown of the trainees who were at the camp and their skill ranges. If you are interested in picking up a character who would have been at this event, this is a good place to start building a background for them.

This means that if anyone wants to join in the event, the following is a summary of taken positions (these can be adjusted by specific request):

There were a few character notes that came up during this:
- There was a girl in Intermediate for both vocal and dance who was friendly with Anya and only a little older than her.
- The girl who was an Advanced rapper was slightly older than Seojin and had only just started learning to dance. (Shieon)
- About half the trainees at the camp were international trainees, mostly of full or partial Korean descent (all at least half Asian), and most of them spoke Korean at least relatively well
- Tai was the youngest of the boys by a few years at 10 (international age)
- Anya was the youngest of the girls, but not by very much at 12 (international age)
- The oldest trainees were in their early twenties, but most of the trainees were between about 14 and 19 (international age)
Other than the trainees who participated (Taijia Lin , Anya Young , Woo Seojin , Felix Choi Sungjin ), the members of Yuseong who are currently being played are welcome to put their reactions in (Kim Kangwan , @qiwang , Yeo Taehoon , @shihyun ), as are others who would be there as audience members or staff (family, close friends who would have traveled, Thomas Fan Qiwang (as both translator for the event and basically family for Tai)).
