GEMINI x THE NEXT GENERATION + 백명확
actual height & weight. 160cm & 44kg
( ♥ ) THERE IS NO FLAW ANYWHERE! unlike mamamoo who are 161cm according to their song,myunghwa stands at about 160cm.weighing at about 44kg but in fact,it's often changing as she doesn't have the quickest metabolism around 38kg-45kg.her body is just
like other typical korean girls,a petite frame and not so much of a bust,claiming that they are
still growing.however she's really selfconscious of her bust,just like in those animes and will cup
them self consciously.they're around average for a korean girl her age and it's fine but she just
feels weird about it since fans compared her chest to an ironboard a couple of times.unlike what others think because of her petite size and loose outfits,myunghwa does own a few curves
that mainly show in tight fitting clothing.it's not really noticeable but people have noticed on how she has a bit more curves than the other members.she has thicker thighs than the others because myunghwa doesn't like the idea of a thigh gap and just likes how they are.as well as that she has small,pretty hands with slender fingers,mostly because of her piano practice that
she's done for so long.
one — myunghwa does not have her ears pierced unlike other korean girls who own lobe piercings.not because she's a wuss or doesn't like them,she at times
adorns clipons but because,she'd be murdered for putting holes in her ears.
two — she doesn't own many flaws on her skin just because of the vitamin d in her body but myunghwa has a small scar on her forehead from an accident,she doesn't speak of it
a lot because most of the it's covered with makeup.she also has a few scars on her arms
but they've gradually disappeared or aren't that noticeable
three — myunghwa owns monolids but due to south korea's beauty standards,using many of their finest double eyelid products to create the desired look.as she owns no will to go under the knife,the glue and tape are the only options for her.at times she doesn't use them hence showing her natural eyelids.
( ♥ ) I'M WEARING MY PRETTY,WHITE DRESS TODAY! to be hone st,all she does is wear the things that the group's stylists make her wear from offstage to the airport and such.but
most of the time it's skirts with cu te,cardigans the match her well.as she doesn't have a set sty le,she doesn't have to be an annoyance to the stylists or be pressured at the airport.if it was practice or in the dorm, she'd just be wearing the closest thing in her cloest to be honest.but without their input, her style's casual and simple with minimal accessories.most of the time she wears cardigans and skirts,it just makes a cute combination to be honest.myunghwa,like other teenagers her age are shy about things but still go prancing around in short skirts.she might not do the same but she does go wearing skirts that are just below midthigh or shorts that short.on her feet are usually sneakers or flats because the only time she'll wear heels is for performances
and she doesn't exactly like the concept of heels that much because to her,they are a very large
annoyance.
( ♥ ) NEUTRALS! observant,rational
( ♥ ) NEGATIVES! sensitive,introverted,naive,reserved
( ♥ ) NORMAL GIRLS CAN'T EVEN COMPARE! myunghwa is often seen in a positive
light as often the staff in sm baby her a lot,agreeing with her and allowing things to go her way.
she's caring and often looks after the others,making sure that everyone is alright.displaying a
heart of kindness,myunghwa has a golden heart and often the manager uses her as an example.
for example if she was the only one who stayed up to practice and cleaned the dorm,the
manager would always yell at the others 'why can't you all be like myunghwa?'.she owns a large concern for others and a warm heart,willing to take the others chores as they're sore from training or are sick.as well as that,myunghwa is bright and energetic like her name suggests and brings energy to the group even if she isn't the loudest or the most.showing the most interest in
activities,she's actually pumped for things and is that one kid in class who puts their hand up
when they know the answer.an active and lively person who thinks straight,she's got this bright
aura on her that attracts many.maybe on why she's been appointed as the center because if you
judge the girls individually,myunghwa shines the most and shows the most potential.adding on,
myunghwa is known to be one of the hardest working members out of the girls.
( ♥ ) YOU'RE PLAIN BUT SPECIAL! observant,she might be in the corner looking at everyone else as they all do their own things.it's not because she's a creep but she's always been like that.quick in noticing things and differences,she'll be the first one to notice if a member's away or if something different,from the smallest or to the largest things and it's become of a thing where the other members won't feel creeped out anymore.it's not her fault,it's just that she likes observing things and memorising it.as well rational,she doesn't react to things with her emotions much but rather with logic.she'll be the one who's forming another plan and not crying her heart out.she's the one who can stay calm and collected in a situation
and think of another alternative solution.everything makes sense and must make sense,it's just like that for myunghwa.
( ♥ ) PLEASE DON'T TURN AGAINST ME! sensitive at heart,myunghwa is easily
affected by criticism.she never states so and tries to hide her pain but ends up crying while she's
going to sleep.it's small comments that she shouldn't be a trainee,just get out or get kicked out
that affects her a lot.the ones that complain that she's too chubby,should lose weight or just die
affect her a lot.she honestly ends up doubting herself a lot because of it and well,she is really,
truly sensitive.introverted,it's not that she hates humanity and loves solitude for the rest of her life.she just doesn't have the heart to befriend people first and doesn't enjoy being around company 24/7.yeah she can love people and hang out with them but she just at times needs her 'alone time'.meek,she just doesn't like to say things first or risk being rejected or anything.she's
naive,innocent and pure.unaffected and natural,she was gullible and is like she's never been affected before.myunghwa's the naive one to believe everything her unnies say and will do the housework around the house.dense as well,to be frank about myunghwa,she lacks wisdom and experience in romance and anything like that.maybe on how cruel the world is but myunghwa is
aware on how the world acts.as well as that,she doesn't like to open up about herself because myunghwa just doesn't want to open up that much.it's almost like she never rants or tells her feelings about things,it's as bad that it slowly engulfs the girl that she won't talk to anyone and will mentally hurt herself.

( ♥ ) TWO! she's a dan two in taekwondo and a first gup in taekkyeon,she said her mum
had only enrolled her for seldf defense.she still likes it and would do it again,myunghwa
said that she never regrets learning and would still do so,if the company allowed her to.
( ♥ ) THREE! myunghwa is very talented at playing the piano,she can recognise most notes and knows how to improvise on the spot.she actually doesn't like to boast this off but if there's ever a piano in the group's performances and it's a music festival,you can spot myunghwa on the seat.she's graduated the whole system but doesn't know what to do with her piano skills.
( ♥ ) FOUR! she really likes drinking milk ever since she was a child till know,drinking
two cups everyday.the others joke it's just because she wants to grow and be taller
than the rest of the other members.but they all know because puberty for her is ending
in a while,that she will grow to be taller than some of them.
( ♥ ) FIVE! myunghwa has been said to be one of the most polite rookies,she bowed around seventeen times once to a sunbae.netizens took note and made comments on how polite gemini's ahreum was.some fans laughed at her cuteness and once asked about it,she said 'i'm not sure how low i was meant to bow'
( ♥ ) SIX! she does not own a cellphone and when she does call her parents,it's all via
skype or another program like that.myunghwa doesn't have the money to afford one and doesn't want more of her pay to be cut and so she's waiting until she saves up.
( ♥ ) SEVEN! the girl has never dated anyone since she made a promise to her parents
that she wouldn't date until she completed university.as she's graduating soon,she'll
be completing her university degree.myunghwa is still debating between postmodern
music and chemistry.she's done past university exam papers before for practice to see
if she had a a chance,myunghwa is smart enough to go into university without any
special admission.
( ♥ ) EIGHT! is attending hanlim multi arts high school along with other idols along
with other idols.she's graduating this year at an early age since she started school
earlier than most.
( ♥ ) NINE! more people call her ahreum over myunghwa because they say it suits her more.as well because it's just so much easier and hence,most people don't know that her name is myunghwa or they just call her ahreum.it's similar to how hardly anyone calls leeteuk by jungsoo,his real name.
( ♥ ) TEN! she can not rap because her rapping skills are as good as this.she is totally the best rapper in the group,everytime they force her to attempt to rap and it's terrible.
( ♥ ) ELEVEN! her handwriting is seen to be very neat with round letters and it does
suit her personality as it is.it's what you expect from someone like myunghwa,even
her english letters are neat like for example,here
background.
( ♥ ) SHOULD I TELL YOU A STORY? in yeosu,baek myunghwa was born to baek hyun
woo and dae jinah,the two being a fairly young couple only in their mid twenties feeling joyous
carrying their first born.her childhood was fine with herself,sitting alone playing with toy cars
and colouring in pororo with crayons.two years after her birth,was the birth of her younger brother baek myunghoon.she named him this,her little shy two year old self whispered to her father 'i want to name him myungwoo after the shinhwa member'.her father laughed at her mistake,telling that it was minwoo.he was named myunghoon after consideration and after myunghwa's comment.he grew up babied and spoiled by myunghwa,when he was two she'd come back,with a grin on her face.because she wanted to see her brother quickly.myunghoon grew to be overprotective of his older sister and because of it,he didn't really let myunghwa away from his grasp because he wanted to protect his sister for all of eternity.
she began her taekwondo lessons when she was fi ve,her brother joining a year later.myunghwa was said to already be talented at the spo rt,sparring well and owning a ca lm,collected expression.beginning piano lessons when she was s ix,her mum thought that it would be better for her and at first, she thought it was boring.pressing a few keys and all,that was it.how could it not be boring? but until she heard a few more songs,she sat again and agreed to learn more.she began enjoying music even more and started learning on how to compose,the kid enjoying her life.it didn't help that her mum was a shinhwa fan and their songs were on a lot in the baek household.myunghwa then sang along to the shinhwa songs,she and myunghoon attempting to dance to perfect man as her father decided to send them to vocal lessons.she was only about seven when she began her taekkyeon lessons,learning from her grandfather and other places.as there was no original ranking system,she just follows the taekwondo dan system when thinking about her rank in taekkyeon.following the new taekkyeon system, she's first gup and is ready to improve.
( ♥ ) WHEN I OPEN MY EYES,IT'S DARK SPACE! myunghwa only began her dream to be an idol when super junior happy debuted because her eight year old brother than was yelling at her sister 'noona if you want to marry,at least know how to cook!!'.her brother who was currently really liking super junior, especially leeteuk.which brought her to know super junior.when she learnt that shinhwa was under the same company,she went to look for more songs and other groups under sm entertainment,looking at live performances and looked on how everyone was happy.myunghwa wanted to make everyone happy too and told her parents,who were supportive.as both of them knew south korea's high rates of depression they just dealt with it,believing it to be a childish dream and that it'd be fine if she was happy.
unluckily for her,her downfall or what myunghoon says 'noona's dark days' is when when she was twelve.myunghwa was ready to perform for a competition in the piano and she lost miserably,screwing up and her fingers were stiff.it didn't help that her transition in a new situation,even if it was her second year of middle school.bullied by others for her childish antics and her love for shinhwa despite they were half her age,it didn't help myunghwa who fell into a void of darkness.parents complained and talked about myunghwa,the kid who didn't study as much and embarassed,her parents sent her to hagwon.english,maths to hanja to extracurricular
sport to make sure she got better.and so then when reading the symptoms and taking online tests,she was self diagnosed with depression.please note that it was self diagnosed,she wasn't sure if she was or not but she just labelled herself like that.
that she could sing,she auditioned for sm in the same year that exo released wolf and growl.she
knew the company well enough,from shinhwa all the way to exo.she adored most of their artists
and with the help of myunghoon,gave it a shot.and she made it,accepted as a trainee and as she lived a while away,she pleaded that it was her dream.crying to her parents who allowed her to travel to seoul,that myunghwa would call them everyday and skype call every week.that on her spare days,would travel back to yeosu to visit.
( ♥ ) MY PARENTS BAEK HYUNWOO AND DAE JINAH!
( taxi driver,37,korean history teacher,39 )
FC : ACTORS JI SUNG AND HAN GAIN
myunghwa's parents are one of the people she respects and loves the most.really caring for both of them dearly,calling as much as she can and wondering about them a lot.she tries to visit yeosu but sm's strict rules don't allow her to so she's waiting for the chance.myunghwa with her father,they're close but she never got to talk to him as much.he was a taxi driver,working from dawn to dusk driving around south korea.myunghwa cares for him,to say that she slightly loves her father than her mother is true.she's just been closer to her father from when he was really happy for his daughter,wanting to spoil her and show as much affection as he can.to show that he loves myunghwa dearly but because of his wife's oldfashioned ways he had to bring her up in a strict upbringring.he used to buy her colouring books and toys and pretty pororo shirts to show that he loved her but now,hyunwoo's still shocked on how mature she is now.he misses her and
despite he's in the taxi driving people,he still thinks about her and worries about her constantly.
jinah was always a tough love kind of person,not being as affectionate as her husband.she was the one who would pressure myunghwa to be the best of the best.the one who said that myunghwa had to go into a good university and make her proud.even if she never says so,jinah doesn't want to be as affectionate or show that she cares hence she never says that she misses
myunghwa.just cries herself to sleep and think about how her daughter is because,jinah regrets all the times she hasn't been nice enough to myunghwa.
( ♥ ) MY PRECIOUS BROTHER BAEK MYUNGHOON! ( student,15 )
FC : MADTOWN'S DAEWON
myunghwa's precious younger brother myunghoon is what one could say is the most damn loving brother in the entire country of south korea.well according to him anyway,the two are very close and he often tries to make sure his precious noona is always alright,trying to cheer her up and make sure she laughs everyday.she cares for him and whenever he's trying to skip hagwon to hang out with her just for sibling bonding time, she just replies that he should study and get a good degree first.he often wants to be with her all the time,acting clingy and hugging her as tightly as he can when they meet.he's planning to move to seoul for his university studies because first,seoul has better universities.second because well,myunghoon wants to be with his sister even more because he loves her dearly. on kakaotalk,he has her set as 'ahreummie noona' and she has him set as ' peach saeng <3'. they often take pictures together,myunghwa uploading to her sns accounts a lot of their sibling love,a lot of fans noticing their close bond.some envying on their sibling love for one anohter however because of it,myunghoon's own
followers on sns accounts have increased a lot.
do you have hagwon that day?
MYUNGHOON : yes : c but i can skip-
MYUNGHWA : nO SKIPPING MYUNGBRO NO YOUR EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT BESIDES WE'LL STILL MEET
MYUNGHOON : fine T3T
( ♥ ) MY BEST FRIEND JUNG YOOGEUN! ( sm trainee,19 )
FC : DAY6'S WONPIL
myunghwa's liked him for nearly a year and she tries to not reveal her feelings for the older.she
has done as far to avoid for him for almost a day and saying that she forgot to charge her phone.
he knew that she was lying as he saw her text her brother that day but he never said anything
because he knew that she had her reasons.
myunghwa knows that it is onesided because when she sees him close with someone else with
and she clenches her hand. hurts and she drinks as much water as she can because she feels as if myunghwa was going to cough up flower petals.the first one she felt like coughing was narcissus flowers because it symbolised selfishness and unrequited love 'i'm selfish for liking yoo
geun'.she'd think until up to about this year,she feels like coughing up carnations.deep red ones
represent deep love and affection,explaining on how much she's fell for yoogeun and because of it,myunghwa feels like she will die.as winner said in sentimental she calls him again just incase he feels the same she does but then,she just ends up feeling sentimental."then i call again just incase you feel the same way i do" and most of the time,the topic will end up changing.
— BAEK MYUNGHWA
fond of the older.seulgi's the one person who understands myunghwa or one of them anyway.she looks up the older as a older sister and tries to not be as awkward around her,scared of losing seulgi as a friend.as they're both vocalists,they both practice together after practicing hours,if they both agree however because one of them might feel tired as hell.the two are close to say even if they aren't as close a myunghwa is to
her brother or yoogeun,myunghwa still likes seulgi very much so.despite the fact they are compared a lot,from their visuals as in similar in age,seulgi is much prettier than
myunghwa and both well it well.they're both lead vocalists as well and even their voices are compared as well,from their mentors are tiffany and seohyun.as people complain on how myunghwa's voice is better but receives less lines (seohyun is said to be a better vocalist than tiffany).she doesn't like being compared in the first place and hearing that she's better than seulgi makes a bit of her feel happy,that's she appreciated but she can't help but feel bad for seulgi.
( ♥ ) PARK MYUNGEUN,박명은 / backup talent twin
knowing anyone,teased for her satoori and lack of experience.myunghwa was never the type to approach others and the instructors noticed her attitude,frequent crying and when they went to check the dorms,myunghwa would be up at 3am.for no reason,she just couldn't sleep at all and suffered more pain.because of it,myunghwa tried to feel happy until she was sent to a counseling session,forced to open up about everything.the woman sent her to a doctor and was told to try antidepressants.because of it sm kept a special tab on baek myunghwa.they talked to her what would happen,sm would pay for her sessions and medication but if she got to debut,a portion of her salary and pay would go back to sm for paying for all her needs.it's why since she wants to send that money for her parents,tries to ask yoogeun for money or the other members.
she asks yoogeun because he knows about it and he's rich as hell,so she can deal with it.
not knowing how to dance before,she always did horribly in her dance evaluations until she leartnt proper breathing techniques and to strengthen her stamina.by her second year,she raised from a d rank to an a rank.sm realising on how much potential she had that time.its not like myunghwa had expected it,she never did and she couldn't help but feel uneasy with all the talk around her.
debuted after up10tion and not knowing how to bow properly,did a full bow along with the others.changhyun laughed along with gyujin saying that she didn't need to bow that much, patting her head and smiling.she apologised and ran off to the gemini members, clinging to one of the unnies.and being embarassed on what happened.after that when they returned to the dorm,she went to search up 'up10tion profile' to look for the boy who laughed at her.she ended up finding bitto and went to look him up to see if the group was popular or not and to see how he was.however she only found cheese and the next time she went up to him,tapping him on the shoulder and asked why he had the same name as cheese.and so then began the pretty terrible but great friendship of lee changhyun and baek myunghwa.
their schedules conflicted a lot and bitto asked for her number once on a music show backstage because 'well you seem nice and like uhm'.she still gave it to him as xiao and
hwanhee giggled in the background.their conversations were awkward at first to say the least,not knowing each other's interests and scared to ask what they liked incase the answer was a no.myunghwa watched more up10tion performances,looking for bitto fancams to see how he was.all it seemed was to be about how their day was or how their group members were.or even on how their promotions were going,changhyun envied myunghwa at times.she had a much better dorm then him and was more popular,despite each other were both one of the least popular members of their groups.they both were called chubby and ugly and so together,they bonded and consoled each other through their insecurities
quite overprotective of myunghwa,he doesn't know if it's just an older brother thing or actual feelings but he tries to act like it's nothing.they broke through the stage name barriers,she called him changhyun and in return he called her myunghwa but preferred
ahreum as he thought she was pretty too.the two hung out more,going late at night to
buy food and talking to each other a lot more whenever both had promotions at similar times,which was rare.it was a close friendship and because of bitto,she found her feelings for yoogeun had gone.it was like she didn't feel she wanted to cough of flowers and myunghwa was happier.
didn't feel the same as before.she felt happy around changhyun and her heart fluttered
around the older.myunghwa just ignored her feelings but told another member of what
was going on because she was really confused.she didn't know that changhyun felt the same way and was complaining to jinhoo about it,both confused.when one day he called
saying that he needed to tell her something important.confessing to her from how he
really liked her to the extent of love and she confessed that she felt the same way.also
because they had a dating ban and were both rookies,you don't like to get out of rookie
status until like three years after,like red velvet are still rookies so yes.they just kept
having a relationship similar to dating but not official because of their companies rules.
myunghwa then told about her depression to changhyun who decided to just prove to her that she has a purpose and is worthy of love,helping her get out of the void.
i put it there.like she's not the visual,in produce 101 yoojung's the center and pinky is the visual center.also i apologise if she seems like a mary sue too much,i didn't mean to make her be like that so i'm worrying asf.uhm the yoogeun and myunghwa relationship wasn't going to be as deep as that but ya know,i'm a er for angst and it's way too long too.also bitto's pretty hard to describe in a few words,i can't exactly put him into words.also i know it's selfish but i'M SORRY I LIKE MY CHARACTERS HAPPY ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE SAD.
( ♥ ) TWO! when asked by their manager to celebrate their debut,he/she asks the girls on what they want to eat.some answer barbecue or steak and myunghwa said she wants chicken or jajjangmyeon.either then manager follows another girl's commands or goes with myunghwa's much to the disapproval of the others.them angry and mad at myunghwa for various reasons.
( ♥ ) THREE! myunghwa's fan sends her a cellphone via the post saying that it was a
small gift and that they apologised for it being one of the fan's old phones.she starts
crying out of happiness and wondering why someone would do it,she looks and that the
fan personalised it with the fan's contact in it saying that she wanted to talk to her.
and then they buy myunghwa a simcared and etc.
( ♥ ) FOUR! the members attending myunghwa's graduation and celebrating
