X-IST debuts, and other important news!
by staywithme

July 18, 2018 is a special day for all Ikigai stans; their first girl group has debuted, and they were serving some serious looks that day!

SEUNGYEON — Hyosoon
SEUNGHEE — Nahyun
YUJIN — Wonhee
SORN — Wen
YEEUN — Hyeri
ELKIE — Erica
EUNBIN — Jian

Not only that, but their first mini album sold almost 100,000 copies in one day! The merchandise store right outside the Yūgen Showroom, which is almost HALF as big as the smallest concert hall within the showroom [ which is approximately 70,000 square ft. ], ran out of albums from the many fans that mass-bought the normal version and exclusive Ikigai version that includes a CD for a look behind the production of the entire album!

If you wanted to know, the Ikigai exclusive version of 'WEX-IST' is only available in random parts of Ikigai City; sometimes it'll be sold at the Harajuku Alley, often even in BE-U-TEA, and even at UKIYO!

According to Ikigai, only 190,000 copies of the Ikigai version are left in stock, so you better get them while you still can!

X-IST will also be having fanmeets and concerts around Korea, as seen in this schedule here!

A lot of people lined up literally hours before the opening of some ticket-sellers since they wanted to see X-IST, as most didn't have the chance to attend their debut concert.

But in other news, the official Ikigai Twitter just released this photo:

As it says on the teaser, it could most likely be a collaboration between two Japanese trainees [ well, one is part Japanese ], Haneul and Rikuto.

We do not know when their song will be released, though most signs point to it being next week since it's a bit suspicious that Us&We have not gotten to do many activities as of now. Some residents at Ikigai, though [ mostly new staffs and their families ], have spread rumours that, since the two main producers at Ikigai, Young1 [ a producer-trainee ] and DO, have been working day and night on various amounts of songs.

It seems as if Ikigai is planning to debut a lot of groups before the year ends, so because of that, I have started praying that every Ikigai stan's wallet has been doing well. Wallets, fighting!

In addition to that, apparently some of the Us&We members were practicing for team Arthur's very own Boonmeephonchai's performance on popular tv show, Hit The Stage!

A creative performance was put on by, as what the show called, 'the Boonmeephonchai / BMPC CREW'.

Boonmeephonchai, as well as Song Wonyang, created the choreography themselves, however, Wonyang was not able to perform with Boonmeephonchai neither as his partner in dancing nor a backup dancer due to sustained injuries while practicing another choreography, as said by Ikigai in an official post on their website. Get well soon Wonyang!

To finish off this article on a happier note, apparently Be Yukiba and Nakano Ren will be releasing a teaser for every month until December 1, when their first collection ever, Two Against The World, will be released!

This photo is the teaser for July, and apparently, Ikigai City's chief officer, Lee Soojun, is the model for this one!

What are your thoughts? And, who do you think is the next group on CEO Boo Byungcheol's debut list?
