< 1ST MESSAGE PREVIEW >

After his previous plans to debut with an agency fell through, Kim Raebin joined the reality TV program Idol Incorporated. alongside his fellow trainee Cha Eugene. survival show run by Tnet in which various contestants compete and are slowly eliminated through public votes round by round. At the end, the last participants standing will have the opportunity to debut in an idol group together.

So far, Kim Raebin has been having a lot of fun. Although it's been a bit nervewracking, mainly due to his fear of recieving public backlash for his demeanor. Despite trying to come across as kind, he's not exactly the most aware when it comes to social situations— and combined with his slightly intimidating appearance, it often leads to people misinterpreting his intentions. It wouldn't be the first time it happened, after all, and he doesn't want this new opportunity to be ruined purely because he can't work well with other people.

But surprisingly enough, he's been showed kindness by other contestants, to the point he was even defended once after being blamed for a song's end result. It feels... nice, to be looked out for like that. He hasn't felt this warm in a long time. Especially getting to compose songs and do what he loves.

As instructed by the show's producers, the participants have all been divided into randomized teams. Kim Raebin is on team Rabbit, which is a bit of a coincidence, considering he's often called a rabbit by the fanbase. As the first one in their team's room, he's been waiting for the rest of his teammates to show up. Ah, he just really hopes it's someone who he'll be able to bounce ideas off of well...

Though, as footsteps approach and a familiar face enters the room, he can't help but beam.

"Hyung!" He practically yells, before remembering to monitor his volume. But, in his defense, how could he not be excited to see the sunbae he looks up to?

Kim Raebin gestures to the spot beside him, perhaps a bit too enthusiastically. "I didn't know we'd be on the same team again. I'm really glad to see you." Even as he looks down, now feeling a little shy from losing his composure, he can't keep the smile off of his face. "Hyung, the song you sang earlier... It's one of my favorites, too."
