APPEARANCE
  "take my hand and bring me back"  
hiroko's skin is set on the paler side, but still is considered naturally dark. she takes very good care of her skin and is mostly free of blemishes with the occasional break out. her eyes can be described as rounded almonds with a slight crease just above her lash line. her lives are plump and round with her upper lip a bit smaller than her bottom. she has a tattoo on the inside of her arm that reads, "my body, my art." and a second tattoo on the opposite inner arm that reads, "後悔しないように生きる" translating to, "live without regretting." which is a lyric from one of her brothers' songs. she tries her best to exorcise regularly and maintains a stable weight of 44 kg,

STYLE
  "all we can do is hold on"  
she likes to dress with a sense of fashion, but only for comfort. she has an array of comfy tees; from band, graphic, chic, simple, to the classic solid tees. if it's not a tee, she'll wear button up blouse with a collar for a sophisticated look. whatever her top may be - even with a sweater, she'll always pair it with high waisted shorts or a skirt. if the whether gets colder she'll through on a thick flannel and/or a jacket along with high waisted jeans, leggings or faux leather pants. to her, the key to fashion is in layers and patterns, her favorites are include: floral, plaid and lace with a few others. she'll refuse to wear anything neon pink, orange, yellow or green but can be seen wearing pastel at times, but it's usually dark muted colors. as someone who is only 159 cm she'll wear platform shoes or heels if it's a formal occasion that make up for her lack in height.

   
     

  but looks aren't everything
   YOU'RE ONLY AS PRETTY ON THE OUTSIDE AS YOU ARE ON THE INSIDE...
PERSONALITY
respectful : passionate : sensitive : egocentric : possessive : fearful

  "i will repeat the same mistake"  
hiroko is determined and stubborn and a very ambitious girl. She puts her all into whatever she does which is a big factor in how she got so far in her career. Many people see her as polite and she prefers to keep it that way and will do her up most to make good a impression on everyone she meets. People like her manager and crew members see her as very pleasant and well mannered. while she strives to keep a professional look, on the inside, she's a mix and jumble of emotions and thoughts. She often feels very intense things from overwhelming joy to severe sadness that can cause her to cave into herself. With intense feelings can also come with intense anger and if she feels threaten or hurt, she'll try to defend herself. Having so many strong feelings often lead her to in saying things she doesn't mean and will deeply regret it right after, causing her to seem impulsive and most commonly, irritable.

  "i know but i can't help myself"  
Having many people seeing her as a good person and mature causes her to be "egocentric"; Not in the sense that she's heartless and cares only about herself, but she deeply values what others think of her. in fear of damaging her reputation she'll jump through endless hoops to keep her image positive, but never at the cost of others. She's easily hurt and said to be sensitive, especially when it comes to how people see her. If someone seems her in a remotely negative way, she will take it upon herself, and quickly assume that she must've done something wrong and try to fix it. This may cause her to be worrisome and insecure, and that fear doubles when it comes to her reputation.

  "tell me, what should i do from now?"  
While being known to being passionate this also comes with possessiveness, something she strongly has. Whatever's her's is her's no and's or but's. She'll share though - she did grow up with three other siblings now - but if you try to steal someone or something then there becomes a problem. she'll be clingy if her insecurities get the best of her, and that's partly because she doesn't want to lose someone. she's afraid of being left alone so she keeps anyone and everyone she can close to her so she won't have to worry about that. regardless, her emotions will get the best of her and she will still have days where she'll feel alone in a room full of people.

  i'm gonna' be a star
   go-go-going up

POSITION  main vocalist, dancer
# TRAINEE YEARS  one year and five months
TRAINEE EXPERIENCE 
  "stuck in the same routine"  
hiroko excelled in her singing and was trained as one, and never had strict training as a rapper. she went in with her dancing at around an average skill level with minor mishaps, and with training had earned as spot as a "dancer" in the final line up. as a foreigner, she was mocked for her accent and common mistakes in the korean language but having skills in studying was able to improve within a short amount of time that brought her up to at least a basic conversational level by her debut time. she was given a couple of modeling opportunities, but for very small businesses with small amount of pay and more relied on her brother and parents for financial support while she was away.

  "living an empty dream"  
she practiced good eating habits as well as a daily skin routine to clear up her skin and remove harsh blemishes. she was pressured into correcting her teeth and slight under bite as it wasn't the picture perfect the label seeked but refused to have face alterations of any kind. while it caused some friction up front, the company was content with her creating an intense skin routine and losing excessive weight before her time of debut.

TALENT TWIN  choi 'yuju' yuna

STAGE PERSONA 
  "we're never gonna wake up"  
her aura while onstage can shift with the changing concept, but she's able to keep a innocent and girlish appearance with a captivating stare. her shortness and slim figure aid in her "good-girl" persona while on stage, but what sets her apart from the rest is her strong vocals that is within a alto-soprano range with a slight husky undertone that can be hypnotizing. her overall look and that way she acts off stage has labeled her as, "the good girl" or, "the girl next door" label that she's grown into and play with over the years. with some effort, she can pull off a more classy sensual style but it's easiest for her to return to a kind and angelic style.
STRENGTHS  as a vocalist her obvious strength is her voice along with a wide range and seemingly effortless control. she's shown to have a strength in dance as well and has talents in playing musical instruments.
WEAKNESSES  since she was never trained as one, her rap is one of her weakest points along with acting as she was not trained as one either. she's not the got to person to be a mood-maker and is seen to just go with the flow rather than attempt to dynamically change the atmosphere.

SOLO ACTIVITIES  
featured in jonghyun's song, 'love belt' (originally younha)
solo debut in 2020 (a few months after iris' official disbandment) with 'breathe' (originally lee hi)

SCANDALS  
dating scandal (2013) // fans suspect a romantic relationship between jonghyun and hiroko due to old images surfacing of the two on a outing, assuming it was date. it was proven to be false at the time, claiming it they were "just good friends"
saesang attack (2015) // after a car accident involving a few minor injuries on the members of iris (or different idols), rika posts claiming that hiroko told them to, attempting to sabotage her image. it was proven to be false.
invasion of privacy (2016) // rika breaks into iris dorms and plants a hidden camera, later posting onto social media saying hiroko gave her the password and permission to enter the dorms whenever she wished. while quickly proven to be false, no legal actions were taken.

   THERE'S MORE TO YOU THAN MEETS THE EYE...
PAST
  "the reality that my parent's dream for me"  
Hiroko is the daughter of famous Japanese enk singers Masako Mori and Shinchi Mori. having two older brothers and one younger, she was subject to teasing by the boys as the only girl. Her oldest brother Takahiro was the hardest towards her. The second oldest, Tomohiro was the quiet genius and didn't pay too much attention to Hiroko. while the youngest hiroki was the nicest to her but still annoyed the out of hiroko whenever she just wanted some alone time.  with almost two years apart from each child, usually, all the kids got along well but strangely, while the meanest, takahiro was the closest to hiroko.

  "and my own dream did not intersect"  
As a child being surrounded by music, she grew to enjoy it as much as the rest of her family. She and takahiro even sang in the school talent shows together. growing up her parents fought endlessly and brought a lot of stress and truma to the kids, and for hiroko, it was sometimes too much. she seeked comfort from her oldest brother despite being him being hardest on her. takahiro was the first one to inspire her to sing and helped her find her talent as a singer. while they both had different styles they preferred, they still found mutual likes in music and when hiroko brought up the idea to got into the korean entertainment industry, he was the first to know.

  "realizing how scattered i became"  
when hiroko was 13 her parents got a divorce and her mother became much more strict with the children as she was given full custody of the four kids. takahiro, now 17, became rebellious and moved out to their grandmothers house and later joined his own band. as hiroko watched her brother become a rock singer she was sure that she wanted to go through with her dream of becoming a korean pop singer. If that idiot brother could do it, she could too right? When she told her mother, she was scolded but was given the chance like her brother and by the time she was 16 she had signed a contract with her first korean label.


PRESENT
  "throughout our time apart, i never wavered"  
after the disbandment of iris, hiroko began a career as a solo artist under sunset entertainment. she released both korean and japanese versions of her songs and promoted in their respectful countries. she appeared on variety shows in both korea and japan and held concerts in small venues and even had fan meetings. to say that she was as successful as she was with the rest of the girls would be a lie, but as a solo artist, she was able to put herself into her music and composed her own songs. she also appeared on soundtracks for tv dramas both japanese and korean.

LIKES
( bears. ) they're her favorite animals
( tea. ) she'll drink tea non-stop to stay awake
( noodles. ) in any kind of dish made in any kind of style
( honey dew. ) her favorite fruit and will always get drinks, candy, etc. in honey dew flavor

( horror movies. ) especially really low budget movies that aren't scary but try to be
( skinship. ) she loves hugging, hand holding, kisses, etc. - although she can be a little shy

DISLIKES 
( arguing. ) it triggers memories as a child that she wishes to forget
( her height. ) she knows she short and hates it when people will tease and point it out
( misunderstandings. ) going along with arguing, but also dislikes to be misunderstood which is often the cause of fighting
( caramel. ) it doesn't taste bad, she just hates how sticky it is
( cigarettes. ) it's bad for your lungs as it is, and has a terrible smell to them
( coffee. ) she can't stand the bitterness
( heat & humidity. ) she sweats easily and even the slightest bit of humidity becomes like the plague to her

TRIVIA
she has three other brothers, two older and one younger
as a skill that has been passed through the siblings, she has the hidden talent of scream
she took piano lessons at a young age
she grew up in a wealthy family
her oldest brother takahiro, is the lead singer of japanese rock band one ok rock, while her youngest brother, hiroki, is the lead singer of my first story
she was diagnosed with depression at the age of 10, but tries to keep it to herself. however when under pressure or is reminded of the parts of her childhood where her parents fought her depression can get the best of her
her ideal type is kim jonghyun from shinee as mentioned in an interview
because of her past, if there is ever a fight going on between two members she's the first one to try and break it up
to be quite honest, she really does enjoy rock, punk and metal, but it was the fashion sense that korean pop culture as opposed to japanese had that drawn her in
she's a huge cuddler
  never forget
   YOU'RE NEVER ALONE...
FAMILY  
mother / mori masako / 61 / traditional, caring, supportive
as two women often do, hiroko and her mother got along well enough with some feisty moments every so often. her relationship with her mother though is stronger than that with her father who she has some remorse for. masako was the one who made hiroko be a studious "good girl" compared to her brothers who were all trouble makers. she was a lot tougher on hiroko to be mature and ready for the real world but would come off as naggy and strict. masako believes in tradition is had no problem living under her ex-husband's shadow which never sat well with hiroko. however as she matured, hiroko has grown to only love her mother and forget about the times she was a "mother" towards her.
 
  
brother / morita takahiro / 32 / goofy, bad-tempered, rebelious
as the oldest of the bunch takahiro always felt it was his job to look after his younger siblings and looked after them when their parents were way with business. as children, takahiro would tease hiroko; pull at her hair, steal her things, and point and laugh at her if she made a mistake. however when tension was high he became a true big brother and was the best at cheering her up when she felt down. he has always had a bad temper and gets angry easily and has lashed out at his siblings, especially hiroko and hiroki since he was around them the most. he was never one to follow the ideas of his parents and wanted to inspire his siblings to do the same.
 
  
brother / moriuchi hiroki / 26 / aloof, stubborn, hyper
as the youngest, hiroki was subject to so much babying he never knew what to do with it. however he was a little stain to hiroko sometimes. he would barge into her room as kids and scare the living day lights out her whenever he got the chance. he would sometimes play pranks on her or if he broke something would point a finger at hiroko to get her in trouble instead. but if someone were to ever pick on hiroki she would be the first one to call them out if takahiro wouldn't do it first.
 
father / mori shinchi / 72 / dynamic, smart, direct
in hiroko's eyes, her father was the one who started the fighting in the family and began to hate him when she was growing up. although he cares for her, she would avoid him at all costs and ignore his presence if he was in the room. however as she grew to be an adult, her remorse for her father lessened and she now visits him when she can and is making efforts to create a new and healthier relationship with him.

FRIENDS  
  
best buddies / yun kwandi / 29 / bubbly, demanding, affectionate
kwandi and hiroko met when they were both trainees under sunset entertainment. kwandi noticed hiroko looking lost in the building and when she spoke to her, picked up quickly that she wasn't korean and din't speak a of it. thankfully for hiroko, kwandi knew some japanese and helped hiroko through the first few weeks when she first joined. they would often practice together, and sometimes give tips and tricks they learned. but soon kwandi was offered a modeling career by a different label. since kwandi wanted to be also in the acting field she hope that being a model might give her a better chance at being casted. so she dropped out of sunset and joined the new label. since then, the two didn't have much contact until hiroko debuted where kwandi caught her at a music show and they got talking again as friends.
 
  
brother from another mother / lee hongki / 30 / aloof, thoughtful, funny, probably gay with takahiro
while not being the same close as he is with takahiro, hiroko and hongki chat a lot when they can and like to share funny things on off the internet and hangout together if they're able to. hongki helped hiroko a lot with learning korean as takahiro had asked him to do when she left as a trainee. there's never been any attraction romantically from either side, despite them admitting that they would date either other. the biggest factor that keeps them from actually dating is how close hongki is with takahiro which would just make things awkward if the relationship would take a turn for the worse. however, they sometimes have in-depth conversations about life like, "why are we humans here?" or, "what do you think happens when you die?", etc.

OTHERS  
rival / kim 'saiko076' rika / 23 / daring, obsessive, posessive
it's easy to figure out that the relationship between a sasaeng fan and an idol can never turn out well. under the anonymous name of saiko076, rika is worshiped within the saseang community because of her connections with idols like hiroko due to being a former trainee of many companies who all dropped her after a couple of months. hiroko had met rika when she auditioned for sunset and they had both been in some ways, acquaintances just barely reaching the line of "friends". however after sunset had dropped rika because she didn't fit with the concept of iris hiroko saw what rika's "side job" was and dropped all contacts with her.
character
  kim jonghyun
   terada takuya, kim 'yesung' jonghoon
NICKNAMES  
— blingbling / since his debut blingbling has stuck with him through the years. the true origin of this name is still a mystery but it's safe to say that it's a prediction of being a shining star coming true
— puppy jong / called by his fans, his eyes have the same adorable round effect of a puppy along with a hyperness that can't be tamed

PERSONALITY 
  "kill me, the person away so back"  
to many, kim jonghyun is a hyper man who's blessed with a voice of an angel, and talented in music and is never one to give up. he's often optimistic and caring towards everyone he meets. he is greatly dynamic in personality and attitude, and is always able to grab the attention of a room full of people and entertains others with ease. he's a true performer with overflowing charms and a likeness to him that can be irresistible.

  "kill me the person long ago" 
jonghyun is known for having a temper and it should never be targeted, but it's something he could never hide; it's just apart of him. he can get fired up in lightening speed if her feels attacked or you bright up his insecurities (usually about his height) and while having frequent outbursts, they can leave just as quickly as they came.

  "tell me the reason why you're alive"  
his intense love and passion for art and creativeness can be contagious. so much so, that he'll somehow even infect himself. there has never been doubt that jonghyun would make it far as an artist because of his gift in creation of music. you could call him a prodigy of music - the one who saved kpop -  but to every light, there must always come darkness.

  "tell me the reason why you're proud"  
behind the sense, jonghyun can get caught up in his thoughts that send him spiraling down into a dark place. his fear of being ultimately misunderstood by his fans consumes him until he has no where else to go. he cries easily and he's never had a problem with that, he even cries on camera and becomes vulnerable with the public, but that's only a small piece of him. his label has suppressed him for years since a young age, and even though they have been giving him more freedom, the damage has already been done.

cry out loud once. look in the mirror and shake it off. i've cried like that too, you're not alone. ♡

 
  soul(mate) searching
   SURELY YOU HAVE THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE...
FIRST MEETING  
  "i can't go back"  
hiroko and jonghyun met as rookies at a music show back in 2009. both being new comers they bonded through their innocence and excitement to make an impact on the world through their music. being the kind of go-getter he is, jonghyun was the first to introduce himself to iris and took a liking to hiroko. because they didn't know each other on a personal level, their attraction was mostly based on appearance, meaning face and body. she stuck out as one of the shortest girls, (if not the shortest) and her heavy japanese accent made her strangely charming. at the time, both groups shinee and iris were not allowed to have cellphones so their only interactions were to be through face-to-face meetings which would only happen by chance if their schedules crossed paths. once they both could have their own phones they could swear they nearly crashed sns severs from how often they chatted back and forth.
 
  
RELATIONSHIP
  "i don't know why, but you saved me"  
like most stories, theirs started off in innocence; as fresh idols just getting to know the world of fame, then turned to something much deeper and more meaningful then they ever planned it to. for hiroko, jonghyun reminded her of her brother who she missed, a lot, only he was much nicer to her than her brother was. for a long time it was more of a one sided love where jonghyun was the casanova that always seemed to swoop in whenever she was feeling down. but as time went on she learned his true colors as a man who is full of insecurities and criticizes himself for the smallest things, and he saw her own fears and what her childhood was like growing up. as broken people often do, they try to fix each other and take on each others pain that caused them to grow even closer.

  "maybe it's too late"  
there were times that jonghyun's anger got the best of him that caused rifts between them. if he had ever attacked hiroko personally, her depression would consume her quickly and he wouldn't hear from her for weeks. deep down, she knew he would never want to hurt her which caused her to come back and mend herself with someone who she felt was the only other person that would understand and cheer her up (besides her brother).

  "we'll carry on"  
their love of skinship goes hand-in-hand and if they're left alone can get very hands on. there hasn't been anything ual mind you, however there have been times that the air has gotten tense enough that it might as well as had happened. the first person to break is usually jonghyun, which is common among most couples, but their mutual agreement was to wait when they were both ready, and hiroko has yet to reach that point. while in public they try their best to keep some distance to keep everyone else comfortable but that's never stopped them from holding hands, giving a quick peak on the cheek or locking eyes from across the room.

CONCLUSION
  "i've decided to live only for you"  
since feburary of 2015 hiroko and jonghyun have been in a relationship that has had it's fair share of ups and downs. they choose to keep it a secret from the public, allowing fans to talk among themselves of whether they are truly dating or not.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS
h-h-h-haiii
so i know how you said that you like aesthetic apps, i tried my best to make this aesthetically pleasing lol
hopefully alot of this made sense? i wanted the reason why jonghyun and hiroko get along so well is because that tumblr idea that, like, "broken-people-attract-and-sometimes-fix-each-other" or something like that. does that make sense? probably not.. in any case, i hope it wasn't so confusing to follow ;; also, i put the ages of her family and friends as the age they would be in 2020 c:
i did so much searching on jonghyun background it got real dark real quick hohoho... ;-; like someone was saying his father was abusive??? wat?? my tiny cinnamon roll son ;;;;
thank you for taking a look at my application! hohohOoo

SCENE SUGGESTIONS
i mean, i know this is meant to be a mainly angsty story, but like, small moments with hiroko and jonghyun would be cute ;^;
doesn't have to be hiroko, but something like, really tragic happens to one of the girls that effects the whole group.
takahiro and hiroko brother-sister moments, or he meets the girls? probs not lol
