This Lunar New Year, let's start the beginnings with a new meaning, let's deep dive and enjoy our time with our amazing families. To live, support and love one another for years to come.
While love is a concept everyone knows, it is also an expression of our emotions towards our family, someone special and friends. Express yourself as you would but make sure you convey your feelings in the utmost respect towards the other person.
Love doesn't come only with feelings, it comes with respect for each other. It comes in many forms to test us in the worst way possible and yet here we are together enjoying this serene togetherness.
AlternativeStorytelling, BTS-Community, Kpop, WattpadFestivals, and WattpadKDramas have teamed up for a special collaboration to celebrate Seollal (설날/Lunar New Year) and Valentine's Day.
So join us and write a story drawing inspiration from any one of the below-given prompts.
Let's experience and spread the language of love this Lunar New Year.
Prompts:
1. As a huge K-Pop Group fan, you enter a contest only to win a chance to spend Valentine's Day with them. Now, you realize that your childhood crush that you saw on Lunar New Year is standing in front of you along with other K-Pop artists while you are staring at them with a song in your hand. Would you ignore your childhood crush and act as if you don't know them? Or will you see a different side to them? Or will you fall hard for your childhood crush?
2. You and your partner reveal your relationship on the Lunar New Year by dedicating a song to each other not knowing the apprehensions of being a K-Pop Artist. Soon, the public turns their backs to you opposing your relationship. Four days later, on Valentine's day, you make a decision. What's the decision? Will you be able to change everyone's opinion on your relationship or will the relationship become so fragile that you break up?
3. You are a k-pop trainee who is about to debut with your group. You have a crush on one of your fellow trainees, but you don't know if they feel the same way. On Valentine's Day, you find a mysterious gift in your locker with a note that says "Meet me at the rooftop tonight". Who is it from and what happens next? Will you go to the rooftop or ignore the note?
4. Being an Idol in the fast-paced world of K-pop, where fame and fortune reign supreme, your every move is watched and scrutinized. As you navigate the pressures of the industry and the expectations of your fans, you sometimes feel sad and remorseful for not being able to be with your loved ones. On Lunar New Year, when you wish you could celebrate with them, you have a vivid dream of a majestic dragon and wake up in the body of your crush. What will you do in this bizarre situation? Will you seize the opportunity to relax and have fun? Or Will love blossom? Or will you desperately try to return to your own body and life?
