miscellaneous
There is no official fandom name yet, however fans call themselves knights
After rendezvous ended their videos were deleted from their official youtube. However, a lot of it got saved and re-uploaded by fans. These two channels contain a lot of that old content:
Checkmate had a lot of content that has been deleted by Grace Company, predebut covers, drum era content, and all of Nason and Haechang's content has been deleted. There are two accounts that have saved a lot of this content though. @checkmatezones has a lot of checkmate's old covers and pictures from when Sieun and Suri were in their old groups. You can find this stuff under their pinned. The second account is @checkmatearc , who has a lot of nason and haechang content, deleted tiktoks, and content from drum era which was deleted. Go to the carrd in her bio and from there the linked google doc for this content. Both accounts are linked below:

(haechang was added on november 5, 2020; not much info because he left shortly after)
checkmate debuted with nason. about a month after debut nason left for personal reasons and haechang was added in his place. haechang left a couple weeks later also due to personal reasons. its important to note around this same time (a couple days after haechang left)grace company got exposed for having staff yell at the members. fans brought attention to this and the members departure which got grace company to make a statement on the staff issue and the members leaving. they have fired the staff that was acting poorly.
