A bright, cheerful leader of ALTER CROWN who guides the other members to the right path.
She has starred in a famous real variety show [Challenge! Deserted Island Survival] shortly after debut. Fans who saw the trailer were concerned that Lena would struggle due to her usual mild and gentle personality, but after the show aired, their concerns were quickly put to rest. Rena’s wilderness skills were on full display as she encouraged her guests to build tents and cooked up quite convincing meals using resources that could be found on the deserted island. She was so skilled that some jokingly asked her to be hired as a permanent member instead of a guest.
After going viral on the show, she was signed to be an ambassador with a beauty brand. It is said that Rena’s fresh and healthy image makes her a perfect choice for eco-friendly cosmetics derived from natural ingredients.
Rena is also very active in live social media interactions. Rena would often go live with no set topic, with varying content displayed every day. Sometimes it’s about her daily life. Sometimes it’s a challenge stream where she tries something trendy with Rose. The challenge stream soon became the center of her content. Dancing, racing, gaming, cooking, and eating. Recently, all the members of Alter Crown challenged the food of a famous franchise restaurant at the highest spice level. This led all members but Elesis to suffer stomachaches and forced them to take a break from streaming for a while. However, the spiciness didn’t deter Lena from her challenge, and her first stream back on the show was an ice cream eating session at a famous ice cream shop. With full scoops and max toppings, Rena’s indulge in ice cream quickly became a hot topic for a while. When her fans expressed concern about her health, she responded by saying, “You should soothe your stomach with something cold after eating something spicy.”
Rena, who has a vibrant history as an entertainer, is also active in sports. She is currently practicing with the famous tricky dance team TORTA.
A born-to-be idol who soothes the ALTER KNIGHTS with gentle smiles and warm words. She may be full of clumsy mistakes, but when she’s onstage, she’s a flawless star in dancing and singing.
An idol adept at stage-stealing performance. Before becoming an idol, Ara had spent her life practicing martial arts. Perhaps this is why her fans say that her dance moves are unique. However, when Ara was asked in an interview about the secret to her choreography, she surprised her fans with her answer, “I think the concentration I honed with Jenga helped me.”
The adorable foodie fairy still loves to eat. In terms of quantity and speed, she is on par with MEGA CAKE’s Laby and trinityACE’s Elsword. Her favorite dishes are tteokbokki and chicken. She prefers meals over desserts. Her logic is that she can eat quickly between practices. She is also known for always asking fans if they have eaten during public broadcasts and autograph signings, so much so that fans jokingly say that whenever they meet her, they should be prepared to tell her what they ate that day.
Many people have been wondering about Ara’s brother since she broke down in tears when she talked about how he left the home during her debut. Every time Ara would star as a guest in radio programs, she would be flooded with messages asking for updates on her brother. In response, Ara shared the news that her brother had returned safely. Ara’s expressions of joy at reuniting with her brother gained a lot of attention. However, in a recent broadcast, she revealed that her brother had left again, saying that he wanted to find a different path. She said that she was upset and angry, but she would continue to support him regardless of the path he chose because she believed in his good heart. In response, fans have told Ara to go see a fortune teller, saying, “Maybe you’re not well fated with your brother”.
The commanding leader of ALTER CROWN who takes the stage with great leadership and charisma.
Elesis loves to play various sports, possibly due to her long training in Kendo since she was a kid. When she was asked “What’s the most important thing about being an idol”, she answered “Health number one. Health number two.” It was this answer that possibly landed her a commercial for a sports brand. Since she exuded the charisma of a national athlete, she was praised for her successful representation of the brand’s image.
She is the Queen of Games for the ALTER CROWN. She was in the spotlight for excelling in overcoming various obstacles and getting the record time against the broadcast team in “Find the Ace!”, an athletic competition with various celebrities. Since then, she displayed her power, agility, and focus in multiple shows, winning back-to-back titles. She also claimed the title ‘Queen’ in eSports as well.
Although she shows herself in various entertainment shows, her lack of social media use has always left her fans to ponder what her daily life would be like. Fans would often have to scour the photos uploaded by other members to find Elesis. However, Elesis recently opened a personal social media account in preparation for the comeback. This brought the focus of ALTER KNIGHTS. Although Elesis makes frequent mistakes such as ending her stream abruptly or not uploading as frequently, she consistently sends reactions and replies to her brother’s posts.
Recently, she has been collaborating with rappers from other groups, doing collaboration streams, and participating in survival programs to improve her skills in hip hop.
A member of ALTER CROWN who captures the fans with a cool, chic aura and powerful stage performance. She is the team’s support that adds seriousness and charisma to the group’s color and looks after the members on and off the stage.
Rose is known for her organized lifestyle, adherence to rules, and stern demeanor. But recently, her new food streams have become a hot topic. Although she doesn’t eat lots of food like other food streamers, her neat and organized consumption has been catching a lot of attention among fans. Because she eats so quietly, there are many comments that the subtle sounds of her utensils make it feel like they’re listening to ASMR streams. Many fans praise her for not leaving any food behind. Some fans jokingly say that she would be the best daughter-in-law. The hashtag ‘#Rose_Try_This_Food’ is a popular hashtag for restaurant recommendations among ALTER KNIGHTS. Recently, in a stream with Rena, the leader of ALTER CROWN, the fans enjoyed Rena trying to hold Rose back from going overboard in taking up the challenge. Many find that Rena and Rose get along with each other well.
She used to work as a bodyguard abroad before becoming an idol. Fans often see her protecting the other members when they are on the road to different show schedules. When a crowd of fans gathered at the airport and crashed into the public, Rose took the initiative to clear the commotion and rescued the people to safety. This noble act became a hot topic amongst the fans for a while.
In an interview commemorating ALTER CROWN’s comeback, she mentioned that AI Zero had helped her a lot in the preparation of the 2nd album. The members have also praised AI Zero for coaching them on choreography, vocals, and rap. Rose caught the attention of her fans when she went into a childlike argument with her handheld device during a live show. Many ALTER KNIGHTS would say that “the relationship between Rose and Zero feels more like the relationship between friends rather than a user with a program”. Many fans then would say “It’s so charming to see another side of her other than her usual reserved, serious appearance.”
A passionate idol who made her dreams come true as ALTER CROWN’s new member. With talented dance moves and natural cheerfulness, Lithia gives energy and draws smiles upon her fans.
Although she made her debut as a rookie and made a splash in the spotlight, she had many twists and turns before her debut. Even though she was selected as a trainee for the company, she confessed that she had to work numerous part-time jobs. She worked in convenience stores, cafes, TV commercials, grocery stores, and logistics centers to make ends meet. Even after she was revealed as a rookie, she continued to work in between practices. Many fans still have pictures of her working in these part-time jobs on social media.
Since she’s joining as a new member of an existing group, there were many concerns and interests about whether she would be able to blend in with the existing members. However, contrary to the concerns, she quickly became close to the members due to her unique friendliness and straightforward personality. The existing members of ALTER CROWN are rather quiet except for Elesis. Before LIthia, no one showed much reaction to Elesis’ jokes, but now the team atmosphere has become much more lively as Lithia and Elesis both eased the tension.
The comeback of ALTER CROWN is practically a debut for Lithia. Despite being new, Lithia showed no signs of nervousness as she expressed her excitement for her long-awaited debut. Inspired by Lithia’s words, the other members of ALTER CROWN have also gone into intensive practices to display a new and powerful side to ALTER CROWN rather than worrying about their long-awaited comeback.
Ever since our new member Lithia joined, Ara has been showing a lot of mature side lately. It’s probably because Ara now has a younger member to look after. Fufu, she’s still a kid to me. Oh, lately I have been practicing yoga with ara in the mornings. I heard it’s good to create a daily routine, but sometimes you want to slack off a little. So, I skipped yoga that day. That was when Ara’s cat climbed into my bed and started yowling and scratching at me! I was so surprised that I had to wake up. Since I woke up, I decided to practice yoga. It was only then the cat calmed down! Looks like I’m part of the cat’s routine.
Elesis reminds me of fire. Passionate, gorgeous, and full of energy. It’s not like the fire that eats away at anything, but a fireplace that stays firmly in place and fiercely burns, providing warmth. Fufu, is that an awkward analogy? But she gives me those feelings. It’s very fortunate to have someone who gives such a firm faith. I sometimes see Elesis’ little brother. Their similarities and differences make them so fun to watch. It’s true that siblings look alike. I wish I had a cute sibling to look after~
I always feel synchronized with Rose. We enjoy the same things, we love to challenge new things. She’s always willing to do what I want to try out, so I feel that she’s such a good friend. She deals with a lot of machinery, which never fails to amaze me. She’s got all these specs of newly released devices. Rose set up my stream entirely. As much as I stare into the machines, I have no clue how they work… Last time, my computer stopped working so all the other members got together to try and fix it. We were at the verge of giving up when Rose walked in and reconnected something and it started running. Since then, I just assume Rose is performing some magic when she deals with machines.
When I first saw her, I thought she was just bright and lively. But as I got to know her more, I discovered that her adept skill in various fields stems from hard work and ardor. It made me want to look after her. So, I often took her on a drive as a break between the intensive practices. Every time we went on these drives, she would say “Oh, I’ve worked here before”, “I’ve done some warehouse packing here”, or “I know the owner here from working”, which would scare me a little. Maybe the entire world is Lithia’s part-time universe.
What a cute and polite kid. If only he could be my younger brother… When I asked him for some work relating to Classical reference, he worked on that as if it were his job. It was cute to see him mention each reference to explain each point in so much detail like a teacher~ I wish I could converse with him in the future as well.
The way how she was so polite made it feel like she was pushing me away, but it was just the way she talked. When I didn’t know her well, it was odd to see her in MEGA CAKE. At that time, I thought she would fare better alone solo, rather than as an expert. But when I got to know her better… she’s quite cute! And the way she shies away is e~ven cuter!
I’m usually interested in many things, so I end up trying various activities. I never really go deep in a single activity. Raven is someone who focuses on one thing. When I met him at a dojo, he was so good at it that he could be a professional. I think he would have been a famous sports star if he didn’t pursued idol as his career. We often enjoy the same workout, so we end up sharing a lot of information. The places he recommends are all great and has amazing facilities, but the protein shake… mmm… definitely not my style~
She’s the trusted leader of ALTER CROWN. She spends a lot of time practicing for the comeback and looking after other members. I was worried that she might be pushing herself too hard, but as an energetic and active person, she seems to be doing fine. Even while busy, she joins me in yoga practices daily, goes live on stream with Rose, and pursues personal hobbies. I think being a leader is amazing. I’m so happy and proud of Rena as the leader of ALTER CROWN!
She’s our eternal center and leading vanguard. I often share hobbies with Elesis, so we would often meet up at the dojo. She seems like a fiery person who tackles head-on, but under the surface, she’s very cautious and calm. I think such charismatic personality is what makes her shine brighter. When the practices drag on, many lose focus and start making mistakes. We often lose our confidence as we lose our focus. That’s when Elesis comes in to spark the dying flames. If Rena is the mother of ALTER CROWN< Elesis feels like the father of ALTER CROWN. Fufufu.
When we first heard that Rose would be with us officially, everyone was surprised. We all thought she was ALTER CROWN from the start! She hung out with us so much that we felt she was an official member from the start. She would play board games with us whenever she had free time. Thanks to that, I was able to focus my attention better. Sometimes, we’d get so fired up that we’d play so hard to the point that when we ended a card game where the winner who finished matching all the cards had to ring a bell, both players ended up with a reddened hand. We laughed so hard when we noticed that. Rose is usually quiet and polite, but has a burning, unspoken passion in her. I thought I was quite passionate, but I may not be burning as bright as Rose.
ALTER CROWN’s new face joined us starting from this album. I thought she was really good at dancing. I was even more surprised when she told me it hadn’t been a long time since she started practicing to be an idol. She said she worked part-time during the day and practiced during the night. She’s such an unbelievably hard worker. Lithia fit into our team seamlessly, to the point that it feels that she’s been with us from the start. She especially fits well with Elesis and jokes around, giving us so much energy and laughter between our schedules.
I’m always worn out from the dances and songs, but Lu is a powerhouse, participating in so many areas. I heard she had some troubles with her previous company, but in the end, it made her stronger. But… the stories I hear about her experience seem beyond just mere troubles… and she often gives the same vibes as my cat… I wonder why? She’s a mysterious being that I want to know more about.
I heard he joined the trinityACE like Lithia in ALTER CROWN. He seemed to be very quiet and shy, so I was a bit worried. But onstage, he does his job so well. I thought ah, I see how he ended up in trinityACE. Oh, I also heard rumors about his personal manager. I heard the manager is always by Noah’s side, taking care of him in shadows… maybe Noah is the son of a super elite rich family who is secretly working as an idol against his parents’ wishes?
Ciel is such a gentleman towards his fans. I’m always surprised with how he is so at ease dealing with fans, but I’m guessing it’s because he has worked as a manager. Maybe that’s why he has such a good reputation among his members and his fans. He gave us some hand-baked cookies the other day and it tasted so good! All the members of ALTER CROWN were talking about how they would visit his bakery daily if he decided to run one after retiring as an idol. Some were saying that they should be nice to him before ‘he gets even more popular’. I heard he does some cooking streams, so I tried to mimic what he did… but I couldn’t catch up with how fast his hands were. It reminded me of my childhood days when I failed to catch up to the paper-folding stream that I tried to follow…
Have you seen the variety show that Rena starred in? I was so shocked to see so many survival skills in the wild! I was never interested in camping or sleeping out before the show, but watching Rena sparked some interest in Survival Shows. If there is a next opportunity, I want to be a part of this. Oh, I should have a practice session before this. If I go camping with the other ALTER CROWN members, wouldn’t that draw us closer? Well, we’re already quite close now, though!
I liked the martial arts that Ara had learned, so I participated in the morning yoga sessions that she did… but it was too boring for me. I tried it once or twice, but I changed to jogging instead. This made Ara sad, so I would join the yoga sessions once or twice a week. Yoga would calm my mind and help my flexibility. I want to teach Ara some Kendo in return… I hope there’s an opportunity. The way she sweeps the broom across room when we clean makes me believe she has quite a talent in Kendo.
Rose appears to be polite and gentle… but she’s very active. Rose would rarely ever turn down an offer to do something. I had a lot of fun with Rose. When was this… It was when we went to the theme park with ALTER CROWN. We enjoyed the rides as the four of us… but at a point, it was just me and Rose enjoying the rides. While Rena and Ara went to watch the flowers and take a break from the rides, Rose and I conquered every rides! Oh, except one. Rose was too tall to ride one of the kid rides. When Rose dropped her head in disappointment, the worker there gave her the stamp. The worker said usually they stamp for the parents and guardians who come to the theme park with their children. That was quite funny. I called her Ms. Guardian for quite some time.
I knew she had tricks up her sleeve ever since I first saw her. I heard that she spent her time working at part-time jobs… but the way she dances shows that she’s danced for a very long time. She has a lot of talent and is extroverted enough to make me feel that she’s been with me for a very long time. I’d sometimes be caught off guard talking to Lithia about previous stages or practices before Lithia had joined. Every time this happened, Lithia would clap and say “Oh~ I remember now!”, which became a memed phrase for quite a while in our group. I can’t believe how much intimacy I’m building up with her. Haha.
I didn’t know this, but I went to the same academy with Raven. I didn’t know because he was in another class, but I realized when we talked with each other. It was good to reminisce about those days when we worked so hard before the debut, the water leak in the winter turned the practice room into a skater link or other cherishable memories. I heard he’s so good that he could get in fighter sports competitions. He’s gone through similar things I have, just different paths! I want to listen to some of these stories about that fighter sports~ I hope he’s not too busy with the comeback.
She’s such a cute and fun friend. MEGA CAKE is so cutesy and cheerful, so I never thought her to be this way… but when I met her in a buffet last time, she ate so much! I was surprised she didn’t shut down the restaurant! Exaggerated? I kid you not! It was crazy! She stacked multiple plates of fried chicken and cheesecakes and after a few minutes… anyway! She definitely impressed me. Hang on… I wonder if Elsword eats that much? I would say the two would create an awesome food show. Oh, what if the food cost outweighs the income?
I visited Elsword to give him some snacks since he was busy with his practice. That’s when I met Chung. He came to me asking for help on rap. He shouted “I’ll do my best!” His eyes were sparkling, so I did my best to teach him. He had a lot of interest in areas outside of dancing. He looked pretty cute, but he had fiery passion in him! I challenged him to an arm wrestle during break time and I lost! I thought I would win but he was quite strong despite his cute appearance. Haha, Elsword wanted to avenge me and challenged Chung. That day, we spent the rest of the day doing arm wrestling all day. I’m happy to see Elsword hang out with fun friends~
The best leader and friend. There is a lot that we share and our hobbies are similar, so we spend a lot of time together. It’s fun to challenge new things, but Rena thought I was only doing it to fit her needs. She apologized for always dragging me to new things. I told her that it’s not at all like that. When I talked to her I realized that we never really had a good time to talk to each other. That day, we talked at length. I felt that I got a step closer to Rena.
A trying person is a beautiful person. It’s cute to see her be so clumsy and full of mistakes but be perfect on stage. I recently learned about this ongoing ‘ARAHYPE’ meme among the ALTER KNIGHTS and I would definitely agree with them. I would sometimes say Ara is talented in mistakes. The reason for this is… when Ara falls down, she really falls down hard! It sounds like thunder as if the floor suddenly caves in. Even though everyone rushes in concern for her safety, she always is fine and doesn’t even develop a bruise. This is definitely a talent. I suspect that she unconsciously positions and braces for the fall when it happens.
I have a lot to learn from Elesis. She is excellent in identifying the problem and providing proper solutions in even awkward and dire situations. I would say she is the commander of ALTER CROWN. When I listen to her, something in me unconsciously reacts to her. Whenever I think of Elesis’ age, I am amazed at how young she is. She is 3 years younger than me, yet she shows such charismatic side. I wonder what type of life she had. Maybe she was a hero who fought valiantly to emerge victorious…? Haha.
A new source of energy for us ALTER CROWN. She had gone through a lot of part-time jobs during her trainee days. Maybe that’s why she was very amiable from her first day. All of the members of ALTER CROWN had talked of how to introduce her into the group, but it all went out the window the first day. She’s seamlessly become a part of the group now. I am the only child in the family, but Lithia feels like she’s my younger sister. I thought I was the only one that felt that way, but now all the members seemed to think that way. Everyone looks after Lithia not because she’s the youngest member, but because she feels like a younger sister. She really fares well with Elesis to the point where she would mimic Elesis in her commanding tone. Well, unlike Elesis, her words have no weight. Everyone is busy laughing.
I thought it would be very hard to get close to her. Her perfect performance and her amazing depth of knowledge in the quiz show made me believe that she’s living in another world. I wonder why she chose to become MEGA CAKE. One day, while talking to Lu, I was told that Eve does all the songwriting, composing, and producing. It was such a surprise. Looks like you can never judge a book by its cover. After hearing that, Eve felt much less distant. It was then that I began seeing a cute side of her that I could only see when I paid enough attention. When she makes a small mistake, she hurriedly looks around when reddened face and lets out a small sigh of relief. Haha, if Even finds out I knew about this all along… she’s going to be very embarrassed. Wait… is this interview public?
I first met Ciel with Lu in a studio for profile picture. I first thought he was a manager, but then later was surprised to see him sing as a member of MAZE. I thought I was mistaken… but the way he acted that day was completely like a manager… I thought it could have been his twin for a while. Later on… I heard from Lu that Ciel was indeed her manager at the time… I was happy to have cleared all those confusion I had. I was really impressed by the words Ciel used to console Lu, but was impressed even more to see him use better words to win the fans over. I then realized how important communication with fans is as an idol.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen him talk to anyone outside of his members, so when he approached me regarding Zero, I was quite surprised. I tell people that he’s like an application or navigation so that people will not find Zero to be awkward… but he realized that Zero was a test device for special purposes straightaway and asked how I deal with so much accrued data. I couldn’t answer well because I’m not well-versed in softwares, but I thought he was very smart in machines and full of curiosity.
ALTER CROWN’s mother Rena! With brightness like sunshine, Rena warms the other members and when it’s needed, Rena leads us with calm Charisma. She’s a model of a perfect leader. I used to always say that “If my employer was like this where I had worked part-time, I would have worked harder~”. I didn’t think I’d meet that person in the idol industry. I was surprised to see such a person be the leader of the idol group I’d be a part of.
The dancer who would take care of the performance of ALTER CROWN along with me! I don’t know if this is because Ara practiced martial arts… but she has an amazing core and flexibility, which allows her to display really gentle dance moves. I tend to go all out in power, too excited from all the fun and excitement, but Ara is amazing at controlling the pace. So, in this comeback, we can see the perfect stage where our soft and powerful moves create a perfect harmony! Don’t miss out on ALTER CROWN’s new stage!
Wufufu, our awesome center, Elesis! She’s so awesome and great when she works and she’s so friendly outside of work! We have a similar sense of humor to the point where I can tell what she found funny when the ends of her lips twitch into a smile. One time, when we went to a cafe with the other members, Ara went the wrong direction when she got up to go to the restroom. I found it odd and looked around only to see Elesis with her head down stifling her laugh. I realized what was going on and promptly began to stifle my laughter as well. Shortly after, I could hear “Aaah! I’m sorry!” as Ara stormed out the door. Hahaha! I heard later that it’s not the first time Ara went into the Staff Only area.
Looking at Rose, she seems to be really good with the basics of dancing compared to her life where she didn’t really seem to be associated with any dancing. I heard she learned from the leader of MAZE. The leader of MAZE would have taught her really well. The two share similar vibes. Like as if they would put all the burdens of the world and protect everyone… then again, didn’t Rose work as a security guard? Sometimes when a crowd would form around us, Rose would protect us like the security guard. It looks pretty cool, but sometimes she would put us into the van and would lead the van out. One time, our driver just set off and left Rose behind. I mean~ Rose, we’re supposed to be a team, you should get on the van along with us.
When I went past him, I saw him angrily shout at other trinityACE members and was surprised. I thought maybe that team was quite heated… but looking at other members, they didn’t seem to find anything wrong with it. I thought that maybe that’s normal for that team… but Elesis’ younger brother was nothing like that boy I saw. I was so curious that I had to ask. Elesis told me that Add does composing, songwriting, producing, and other works to the point of perfectionist. Rena told me that he’s kind and cute. Uhm… setting kind part aside… but Cute? What part of him is cute? Or do I have to doubt Rena’s opinions?
Despite her age, the expressions when she’s dancing and the choreography kept on catching my eyes. Her face seemed oddly familiar~ so I had given a lot of thought… and then it dawned on me. I saw her when I was working part-time as a model in TV shop commercials as the main model. I was surprised how authentic and cute she looked when the camera went live and when the camera went off, she would check thoroughly on what she could have missed and what she should do next. I can’t believe I’d meet her again in ELSTAR~ I didn’t know the world was so small.
I was able to talk shortly when we had the same schedule, but he remembered me. Before my debut, I was handing out flyers after busking in a park. When he was passing me, he didn’t want to be talked to, so he had his head down and did not try to make eye contact. But, he told me that I bent down so low that he was forced into making eye contact. He then said that I said hello and stuffed the flyer into his hands. He thought I was very persistent. Ahaha… I remember nothing of the sort, but I didn’t think I was that persistent. It was kind of embarrassing to hear such a story so I just handed him my business card and hurried away.
