BACKGROUND:
Tae ho wasn't a good kid growing up. Far from it actually, despite his well-mannered parents. He was quite a rebellious child but that was probably a given considering he was the youngest. While he was born in Yongin. The family moved soon after his birth to the capital. Which caused his older siblings some stress over losing friends. Which obviously caused them to dislike their youngest sibling. Mainly due to the fact they moved because of his existence. Initially Taeho was a nice, calm child. But over time he started to act out. But maybe it had to with the fact his siblings didn't exactly enjoy his company. Despite his rebellious nature he still got along with his father. Even if the only time they'd really talk was when Taeho was in trouble.
However things wouldn't go very well at school. Mainly because he wouldn't do that well in classes and therefore he'd get teased for it. So, of course, he wouldn't stand for that bull and get into fights. It'd stop most of them from attempting that again. But of course he'd get reprimanded by his parents for doing such a thing. However when he was sixteen he found his place. He became friends with the 'bad' kids. They weren't that bad. Just misunderstood like him. Through them he got into rapping and subsequently into underground hip hop. Which was a joyous thing for him. He finally found something he was good at However things aren't all sunshine and rainbows in the underground. Too much beef, too many arguments and too many fights. So despite his friends pleas he auditioned to be an idol. So they left him.
You'd think that'd be the end of his struggles right? Nope. While his Rapping was good enough to get him into YG. His time there was less than great. It might've been because he was young at the time and thought too highly of himself. But he'd barely scrape by for monthly reviews. They just assumed with time that he'd mature into a fitting trainee. That would not be the case. Despite his good rap skill. His dancing and singing were lacking. So eventually over time they'd get sick of him. Despite his best wishes to stay with new found friends he was promptly kicked out after four years of training.
Now at the age of 21 with nothing to show for it. He turned to the vices that corrupt many men. Namely smokes and alcohol. For the next two months he'd wallow in his own misery. Depression evidently creeping in on him. The one thing he enjoyed in life taken away from him. Not by some person or force he could blame.
Just himself.
However someone would come to his rescue and it surprised him who it was. His older brother Jaesung. Despite their obvious misgivings he believed in his brother to make his dreams and he knew the only person that was holding him back was himself. So he decided to help him get back on his feet and audition for AM entertainment. The rest was history.
FAMILY: • Father | Myo Joosuk | 64 | Retired
Joosuk always enjoyed his son's company. Even if they only time they spent together really was when Taeho was in trouble. Just like with his other children he has no qualms with what they do with their lives as long as they do something with it. After all he was forced to go into marketing by his parents in order to get paid well. In fact he thinks Taeho is quite brave to go into music. Because while he doesn't mind what he does with his life. It certainly isn't easy. He is also proud of his other children as well. He tries to help out where he can. But the cost of his help is your pride. After all it takes a lot for an adult to ask for their parents help. As a result Taeho tries to fashion his leadership after his father.
• Mother | Myo Jangmi | 59 | Retired His mother and him would argue quite a bit when he was younger. But he understands that was because she wanted the best for him. In fact she was much harder on him than his father. But he could hardly blame her. However she was there with a gentle hand when needed. Like whenever he'd get hurt or whenever he was sick she'd take time out of her job to look after him. Despite his mischievous nature. She did instill manners into him and that's all she could ever ask for.
• Older Sister | Myo Areum (fc : Taeyeon) | 29 | Lawyer
While they didn't get along when they were much younger. They have a decent relationship nowadays. In fact he tries his best to do right by her. After all she's the one that taught him how to cook as well as the one who gave him a place to stay when he was kicked out of YG because he couldn't bare the thought of going back home. However she could never get through to him as much as his older brother considering their relationship was much closer than the two brother's.
• Older Brother | Myo Jaesung (fc : Tablo) | 34 | Photographer
Unlike with his sister. Jaesung and Taeho never got along. Jaesung actually despised Taeho's general existence mainly due to the fact that he lost all his friends because of him. Even when he got over losing his friends the two were constantly at each other's throats. But that might've been because of the giant between the two. Which gave them differing views. However he'd later move to America to pursue his dream of photography. This was during the time Taeho got accepted into YG. However due to moving it gave him a different viewpoint on life. That despite how their relationship was that he should support Taeho like a proper brother. When he found out about Taeho getting kicked out of YG and how he'd been crashing at Areum's for a month or two. He decided he catch a plane home to get through to his brother that he could do it because he believed in him.
FRIENDS:
• Best Friend | Lee Taehyuk | 22 | Lead Vocals - Cupid
Their friendship is an odd one. Mainly because at first they didn't get along. It didn't help Taeho smoked at the time. However over a period of time and being paired up together multiple times. He came to understand the vocalist. So he made small changes in his life to help him out. Like he stopped smoking so it didn't bother Taehyuk. Even though he said it was fine. He also made sure to have an ice pack ready whenever he felt like he would do something clumsy. Why did he do all this? Because, Taehyuk was his first geniune friend in a long time. He had so many fake friends in the underground. It was nice to see someone so dedicated to training yet was still caring enough to help with his english when he asked.
When it comes to actual group dynamics he tends to talk to Taehyuk the most. Especially when it comes to issues within the group because he feels like his view might be skewered because he's one of the oldest. He also tends to screw with him the least. In fact for the most part he tries to get him to help screw with the other members. When it comes down to it he knows he can rely on him to kick his in to gear if he's being too lazy.
• Friend? | Jennie Kim | 20 | Rapper - Blackpink
He met Jennie Kim after he had been training at YG for about a year. She was the new trainee so he decided to look out for her considering he believed she had great potential to be a good female. Instead of one just tacked on to a group because they need one. In fact he'd give her small little tips here and there for her rap. But nothing really life-changing. They maintained a close friendship where possible and she'd always egg him on to try harder for his monthly review tests. He was pretty proud of her when she appeared in 'That XX'. However it also reminded him that he had accomplished nothing in that time. Through Jennie he'd also meet future blackpink members Lisa, Jisoo and Rose. Whose company he also enjoyed.
However he guesses their friendship is kind of iffy because he left abruptly in 2013 when he was kicked for failing his monthly review. Not wanting to look like an idiot in front of the other trainees he left without even a single goodbye. So he doesn't know where he stands in relation to that.
