Stray Kids? Itzy!

Preparations

 3rd person POV:

 After their relaxing day, it was finally time for Skzitzy to start preparations for their debut.

 They went back to Seul for meetings, practice, recordings, concept photo shoots, mv shoots...

 For the time being, they will stay back in their apartment building.

 It was time for a meeting with producers and songwriters so they could hear the songs that will be on the album. Lia was praying the album wouldn't be very childish... at least the title track. And to say she wasn't disappointed is an understatement! She was actually very impressed! Everyone was! 

 The album will be called 'Hypnotized' and just like the name says, the concept will have a hypnotizing feel. The title track will be called Halazia and the b-sides will be Oh my god, Boca, Hwaa, Villain Dies and Dead Man Runnin'. A very good selection of songs!

(a/n: if you want to listen to the songs, they are: Halazia by ATEEZ, Oh my god by (G)I-DLE, Boca by Dreamcatcher, Hwaa by (G)I-DLE, Villain Dies by (G)I-DLE and Dead Man Runnin' by Seulgi of Red Velvet)

 During the meeting, they decided to let 3RACHA produce their album since they wrote Halazia, Dead Man Runnin' and Boca. They also decided that for the next one, in which they will have more time to prepare, they will also let the girls produce and compose.

 After that, it was time for concept photo shooting. They had individual, unit and group photos to shoot.

 The album will have two versions: 'Innocent' and 'Guilty' version.

 For the 'Innocent' one, they had to shoot by the lake and it had a very mystical feeling. They all wore white outfits that looked very angelical.

 For the 'Guilty' one, they had to shoot with a completely red background with broken mirrors, apples and all sorts of props. It felt very creepy and mysterious. The outfits had many chains, strings and straps and were the complete opposite of the other ones, completely black.

 At the same time, they had to shoot behind the scenes videos so cameras were on them all the time. It was very stressful since they had to do so much in one day. It helped remember how happy the fans would be for their debut. Their fans really are what makes them stronger.

 For cheering up, here are some behind the scenes moments:

 Yuna waved at the camera in a cute way. Jeongin, who was getting his hair fixed by their stylist, noticed and copied Yuna. They both laughed, which resulted in Jeongin's hair getting messed up and him making a guilty face.

 Chaeryeong was shy to shoot the 'Guilty' version since she had to model in various odd positions. Hyunjin was eating a snack at that time but started cheering for her saying "Go Chaeryeong!". This resulted in everyone cheering for her, which gave her confidence.

 While at the river, Han tripped on a rock and fell down. Seungmin and Ryujin couldn't help but laugh, but when Ryujin started walking she fell on the same rock. That time, Han was the one who laughed, even though he helped her. Seungmin walked over the rock and said "I'm the master of rocks!".

 Yeji was shooting for the 'Guilty' version while Lee Know was watching her. Chan walked over with the camera in his hands and asked "Are you watching Yeji?". "She really looks like a cat" Lee Know answered. "Which one does she look like more: Soonie, Doongie or Dori?" Chan inquired. "Hmm... Dori!" Lee Know stated.

 And just like that, the shooting was over. Now it was time to record the tracks. But it was pretty late so they only had time to record one b-side, which is Villain Dies since it's a pretty short song.
