appearance.
known to look like han gain, he's got a pretty face that earned him the title of flower boy. but that's not the only thing he's gifted with, after all, he's got a great body formed from years of taekwondo. so yes, he's quite the looker. he was also often found with painted nails that were done beautifully.
style.
he's not one to be extravagant and rather prefer simple styles and combination, however, his sisters also drilled fashion in him and so he tried to make sure he looked presentable, in trend, and not a disaster. some of his outfits were also coordinated by his sisters, one being more extravagant and fancy whilst the other was more influenced by punk. so his style could change between simple and comfortable, punk and dark, or smart with dashes of casual. he didn't have much of a favorite color scheme so it varied a lot ( however the punk style was much darker in color whilst the smart casual followed a pastel scheme ).
One of a kind
personality traits.
+ optimistic; lively; mother; social butterfly
= honest; adventurous; effeminate
– gullible; self-indulgent; restless; impulsive
personality.
he liked to think of the most positive outcome rather than the negative, always bright and believing the best will happen. he wanted to think of great occurrences that could happen and wish to bring positivity to the people around him as he's been through some horrible things himself and in the end, things worked out for the better. he was a believer of everyone will receive good things in the future so he tried to not let the bad hurt him so much, especially since that could end up hurting others too. he's also quite the energetic fellow who would still be lively even after days and days of work. he would charge everyone else by his contagious energy and be willing to do any work needed to be done that the other members couldn't manage because they're so tired.
now, this led to the motherly trait of his. he's a good-natured and reliable soul who would take care of everyone else and tend to end up being selfless as he puts more workload on himself because he wished for the others to rest with ease. he would always cook for the members when they had the time, prepare the necessary items and extras just in case the others didn't bring it ( although he would also be checking everyone's bag and making sure that they truly didn't leave anything behind anyway ), clean up the whole dorm whenever possible, and always kept in mind of everyone's schedules so they could get ready in time. he's not a naggy kind of mother, but he's the one who makes sure all his kids would be ready and taken care of. after all, he wanted them all to relax as long as they could with their busy schedules and make them happy.
he was also quite the social butterfly. after he left his middle school and entered a better environment, it became easier to talk to others, especially since his confidence heightened during these times. he was friendly, charming, and just knew how to be pleasant to talk to. he loved to make friends and enjoyed to keep good relationships with all. this also meant that most times he left a good first impression on others which is good considering his occupation.
he's honest to a fault, he'd rather stay true than to lie. he was one to always be sincere with his words and show off genuine reactions, making him easy to believe in as everyone knew he would not betray a soul if he could. he could keep information hidden, though, but if probed enough or you tricked him into it, he would tell the truth. but his honesty can become much too blunt at times, and sometimes he had the tendency to just say things out of the blue, leading to a rather harsh, but true, comment to be said. he's also an adventurous fellow who loved to do something new or exciting, although most times he never really did due to his dedication to dancing and tending to his family. but now, he's more prone to wanting to do something exciting with the group where they could get out of their comfort zone to do something truly exciting.
he's known to be effeminate too, which can be charming to others but also a flaw to others. he was known to enjoy painting his nails, to let his sister put makeup on him that wasn't the standard kpop look, for gestures that tend to be considered girly and more. plus, he's lived with girls for all of his life and just understood them more than guys. in fact, even if he's a kind boy he had to admit that gossiping was fun, especially since his sister seemed to just have so many interesting tales. overall, his effeminate nature caused people to judge him but also find it adds to his charms.
extremely gullible was he, had it not been for his family and friends—he would have been scammed much too many times already. it's easy to trick him into doing things, and he also rather would believe in others than doubt them. in variety shows, he'd be the unfortunate soul getting betrayed at one point because it simply was too easy to do so. even if one lied to him a lot, and he may end up whining a bit about it, he would still trust them anyways.
despite his motherly nature and good heart, he could be quite the self-indulgent person. it didn't show in such obvious ways, but if one knew him they'd notice it. all he did were things he wanted to do, whether it was cleaning up the house, helping others, taekwondo, dancing and so on and so forth. they were all his passion and he gave his all in it. however, he didn't show this motivation in anything else. in fact, he barely passed school until he went to college and was a dance major there, something he was dedicated to. he can try out new things suggested by others, but if he's not so fond of it—it shows and he would be lackluster in them rather than when he was doing something he loved.
such a restless soul, this man that was. he couldn't stand still and he had to do something whenever he could. even in sleep, he moved around a lot. even after a tiring day of training or doing his job as an idol, he wouldn't rest so easily. he's been filling up his schedule to the brim since middle school and it became difficult to just relax and not do work. he can also be very impulsive as shown with how a lot of things such as joining k-tigers or sunlight were initially mere impulses he had. he can end up doing something stupid because of it. and as reliable as he was, once left to his own devices and choices he may end up doing something so very reckless in his boredom.
background.
chapter i.
for the longest time, he was surrounded by females. he had been a dumpster baby taken in by a single mother that had twin girls for her children and her close friend who was very open about the fact that she was lesbian. it wasn't the most normal family, but this was his form of normalcy.
he's used to his sisters dragging him along to their games of dress up, pretending to be fairytale characters, dancing and more that could be considered effeminate. he didn't find it odd actually, as to him, this was normal. having a single mother and another woman who was practically like a second mother to him, was perfectly mundane to the young boy. he actually even found out that he was abandoned by his real parents and thrown into a dumpster at an early age because said second mother ( referred to as 'mom' ) had no filter in . surprisingly, the boy wasn't so hurt by that because to him, a true family was the one who loved him still, just like his family now.
even in kindergarten, he found himself a young boy who would play with other girls more so than boys. at that young age, he was easily mistaken for a girl rather than a boy and even if he wore the boy's uniform, he easily blended with the girls. it wasn't such a problem as kids, and for the most part, he didn't really mind telling others about his life. even in elementary school, it was alright. so all was well. he was naive and didn't think too much of anything, his sisters were growing up well, his mother and mom were developing feelings that the former wasn't really accepting of it just yet. well, that was until middle school rolled in.
chapter ii.
middle school was a time when children who were naive and could be cruel could morph into the worse. telling people about his mother and her friend who he considered another mother and thought they were getting together, being very effeminate, and just the fact he's soft in terms of personality led to others bullying him. it had hurt him a lot, and during those times he easily was stabbed by words that weren't even so sharp. he would return home and run to his mother in tears, in need of comfort and tell her how he hated school because he was being bullied.
this had actually caused his mother to think it was her fault because she felt as if it was her fault for having feelings for mom that led to the boy being bullied that way. he wouldn't realize it at first, but he's the cause of his mother and mom arguing with each other and distancing away from each other. his sisters were also feeling guilty themselves because they had actually been through it too, except they had each other during those time and kept it to themselves but never did warn him about it due to not wanting to make the boy end up telling their busy mother about it when she was already struggling taking care of the three of them.
in the end, the consolations didn't really do much since he was still bullied in school. moreover, due to his mother trying not to associate herself much with mom, it led to her having to work more. even though he was more self-conscious about his masculinity, he wanted to help the woman and ended up trying to do chores and cooking so she could rest in home with ease. not too long after, though, he would find his sisters gushing about actors who were so manly in their respective action movies. this led to the boy watching action movies ( in all honesty violence was not his cup of tea, he'd rather the sweet romance ones ) and watching it, he came with the conclusion that fighting was considered 'manly'. but as he's not a fighter himself, he opted for the second choice—to learn taekwondo, a sport that had a lot of action to it and where he could develop the muscled bodies that were deemed as manly.
and so he applied for taekwondo, trying to spread out his schedule so he could not be bullied anymore but to also help his mother with his siblings whenever they had the time. it's a hectic schedule, and his grades did suffer but at least he passed his exams. and sure, taekwondo wasn't so fun considering that he knew some people from school in there that would still bully him when no one else was there to see it.
not too long after, though, once his mother overworked herself to the point she was sick he had to step in and inquire why she was putting so much workload on herself, why mom wasn't around as much, and the concern he had been bottling up for her was now released making the woman feel guilty once again. after all, she didn't want her children to end up doing so much work and worrying about her like this when she had been working so hard so they could do the opposite. in the end, her son's concern made her spill about her feelings and what's been going on with her and mom.
in all honesty, the boy was confused and now he felt guilty. he didn't want them to have ended up like that because of his situation, and really, he's already considered mom as, well, his other mother. moreover, taekwondo truly heightened his confidence especially since he's met others who didn't really care about how he had a life wherein he was mostly surrounded by women. this actually made his mother feel quite idiotic of herself and he and his sisters had to bring her and mom back together through some unneeded complicated plan ( in his defense, his sisters can be scary and had been watching too many dramas ). but, hey, at least they got back together and he now had his two mothers loving each other.
chapter iii.
in the end, all was well again. they ended up moving to jongno-gu because as much as the boy loved taekwondo, he had always also loved dancing. moreover, one of his sisters actually dreamt to be a choreographer or dancer herself. she had always loved to teach her stuff twin and younger brother in the art and the three enjoyed to play around with it. thanks to taekwondo, he had a knack for aerobics and mixing with the fluid motions of his sister's style of dancing ( who was actually a lover of ballet, and he managed to take up some of it due to her 'lessons' ).
it was on a whim, really, but he thought it would be cool to join the k-tigers. plus, his mother had a new job in jongno-gu and mom was more of a freelance illustrator who could work wherever she wanted. so, once they moved to jongno-gu and he applied for a new high school whilst his sisters went to college, he also decided to audition for k-tigers. he was honestly surprised that he was accepted, but once he was, he tried to be diligent in it.
k-tigers had been one of the best experiences he had, actually. as a newer member, he mainly trained initially and tried to learn more about the dancing aspects to go with his taekwondo. it was fun, it was an enjoyable environment, and he loved it. he also found himself experiencing popularity instead of scorn in high school and apparently, the girls really loved how at ease he's with them, his visuals, and his capabilities of taking care of himself. it was odd, the change that was, but he supposed that it was something that happened when you move out to different places, even if it was still in the same city of the same country.
chapter iv.
it's not a surprise that he decided to follow his sisters to sungkyunkwan university and majored in dance. his sisters were in their final year at the time it was his at his first. so, at least during the first year he was at ease to know that his sisters, more specifically the one who aspired to be a dancer like him, helped him around and informed him how it was going to be.
at least his schedules were somewhat less hectic as his parents made sure that he wouldn't overwork himself trying to take care of the house and them whilst chasing his wish to be a great dancer one day. after all, he loved it as much as he did taekwondo and he wanted to excel in k-tigers greatly. it didn't hurt that as a member of k-tigers he was quite famed for his good looks and great skills. in fact, a part of him liked to consider himself as a pseudo-celebrity of sorts.
after he had graduated from university, he decided to dedicate more to taking care of home and flourishing k-tigers. one of his sisters was pursuing a job as a choreographer whilst the other pursued the life of being a freelance illustrator like mom. to be perfectly honest, he didn't even think of wanting to be an idol until he was swarmed by a lot of suggestions to be one by others as he's a decent singer with great visuals and great dancing. after contemplating a bit more, he decided why not?—moreover, he was dared to audition a company and see if he could enter or not. in the end, he chose to apply for sunlight entertainment and when he actually succeeded to go in, he thought that perhaps he could just commit to being an idol.
after all, idols still danced. and he could perhaps use the popularity and even tell people about his lifestyle and try to help the lgbtq+ community and make people less conservative about it. he had always wondered about how the country would be better if double standards didn't exist, if people were more accepting of others loving whoever they wanted to love, and just didn't wish for people to stray away from people they care for just because others were against it or the sort like his mothers almost did. and so, he decided to become an idol and hope he could change the ways people thought about those that were lgbtq+ just like hong seokcheon and other celebrities he was aware of. had.

dislikes.
– studying. he's never one to enjoy to learn all these academics as he felt his set path was to be a dancer.
– violence. despite his favorite sport being the sort that included fighting, he's never one to enjoy it. he'd rather go over things peacefully and focus on the performance side of taekwondo.
– raw food. he's never been a fan of raw food and couldn't bear eating it. would wrinkle his nose in distaste just at the sight of it actually.
– horror genre. he was not fond of it, even if he wasn't actually scared by it all that much. instead, he jsut didn't enjoy the dark themes and gore.
– doiing nothing. he grew uncomfortable when he found himself in that state and couldn't help but busy himself with any activity that would ease him.
hobbies.
– taekwondo. he's a third dan right now.
– dancing. his most notable roots were ballet, acrobatics and popping fused together with taekwondo.
– doing household chores. he's the reason that the dorm is clean and taken care of.
– cooking + baking. he was great in the kitchen and when there's time he would like to make food for the team or prepare lunchboxes for their next schedule. also, his brownies were the best. period.
habits.
– walking around aimlessly when restless or bored.
– effeminate gestures such as the wave of his hands, the flicks of his wrists and more.
– when having to stay in one place, he fidgets with anything he got his hands on. may it be his hand, his outfit, his accessories, or even his fellow member's hands, he's just constantly playing with something in his hands.
fears.
– the people who he became close friends with not accepting him due to not being manly enough or due to his family.
– failing to take care of others because he wasn't putting too much effort ( hence why he tends to overwork himself ).
special talents.
– extremely good at staring contests, it's almost like he didn't have to blink at all.
– alongside taekwondo, he could show off his ballet.
– he can solve any rubix cube you give him in less than a minute due to constantly fidgeting with it when he needs to rest but was too restless.

– considered s like his sons and even called them as his sons at times.

– girls and he tend to get along really well. he thinks it's because of the fact he's lived in a mainly female household that he just understood them so well and could connect with them so well.
– because his family were on the shameless side, he knew a lot about what men tend to avoid knowing about in regards to women. by that, he meant that he knew exactly what brands of pads his family needed when they had their periods, his sisters had once asked him to pick her lingerie that she could show off to her boyfriend, he's been brought to the shops before he knew how it worked. by now he's mainly immune and uncaring of it, even giving his own remarks of it.
– has quite the fanbase already despite not having debuted just yet due to k-tigers ( he was one of the more popular ones due to his looks ).
relationships.
– mother :: jeong misun ( 52 ) / businesswoman / good-natured; sefless; stubborn; open-minded / fc: park misun
she was the one who saved him when he had been a mere baby. she took him in and gave him a family, one that did not throw him away to a dumpster. he loved her dearly and always appreciated her greatly for that and always wanted to make up for it by helping her out in any way possible. this mostly ended up as him trying to do as much of the household chores and cooking which he could possibly do. meanwhile, on her end, she's always been lenient with him and trying to show her love for him anyway as she didn't want him to feel unloved considering how she first met him. they trust each other greatly and wished for the best for each other. they have the tendency to try and overwork themselves for each other and nag each other for doing that but in the end they still knew it was just how they were.
– mom :: hwa soonmi ( 52 ) / freelance illustrator / easy-going; humorous; reckless; uninhibited / fc: jo hye ryun
she's far more relaxed than his mother, with unrestrained thoughts and 'corrupting' the kids by being so blatant about most topics, even . he remembered being briefly traumatized by her when she gave him the talk and his mother had never been so done with mom like in that moment. he loved how easy-going she was, though, as she was a true believer in how everyone should just be free to be themselves. funnily enough, his sisters took up a lot more from mom whilst he took a lot from mother despite them being mother's actual children by blood.
– sister :: jeong areum ( 28 ) / dancer / shameless; assertive; enthusiastic; blunt / fc: park shinhye
the oldest of the three, beating her twin by a few minutes. areum had always been someone he looked up to due to her strong personality and teaching him the beauties of dancing. she's also the one who made him start shopping for lingerie and 'time-of-the-month' items due to the fact she could care less whether he's a man or a woman she was going to bring him along if she felt like it. they can 'bicker' ( read: her talking over him as he just nods along ) at times, but they're close to the hip and his sister was ready to beat up people who dared to hurt her brother as she's not letting that happen to him once again.
– sister :: jeong ara ( 28 ) / artist / artistic; dramatic; social butterfly; lackadaisical / fc: park shinhye
she's always been the laziest of them all, but she was also a fun person to be with. always so creative, he liked to ask her input in terms of creativity. sometimes her art pieces inspired dances just as how she was inspired by his dance. they also both loved to get nail art otgether and he lets her put makeup on him, even letting her go very bold with the makeup. they loved to let loose ideas at each other and have fun doing so.
– little brother by bond :: byun hyunmin ( 19 ) / member of rainz and k-tigers / humorous; energetic; artistic; dedicated / fc: byun hyunmin
hyunmin was one of the members of k-tigers that he got really close to. he considered him his little brother and would be found doting on him a lot. hyunmin looked up to him a lot too and had been one of the ones to insist that he would be an amazing idol had he pursued it, especially since he wasn't such a bad vocal either. he had also been one of the ones who consistently voted for hyunmin and hoped that he'd get to be a part of wanna one and been there to cheer him up when he was eliminated. he always told hyunmin that he'd get a chance like i.b.i because he was so great, and what do you know, hyunmin became a part of rainz.
road to acceptance
hello there, please introduce yourself.
"hello! this is jeong jiseon, the main dancer of sole!" he brightly grinned, voice enthusiastic as he introduced himself. the boy was still so excited to have gotten this chance and he was full of anticipation, in fact he couldn't help but vibrate in joy on the spot. heck, one might be able to see sparkles coming off of him.
how do you feel about debuting?
"oh wow, i just—i'm still so amazed that i am. and i'm just—so, so excited. i honestly can't wait for activities to start!" his grin seemed to widen and the man was truly in cloud nine as he continued on in the interview.
do you have any goals you want to achieve with Sole?
"well, i'd just like for our group to be successful and for us to succeed and achieve our goals. i just hope we all get to enjoy this experience and will try my best to be able to help them however i can. but....i do have my own goal of sorts but that's something i want to achieve on my own instead unless the others wish to help of course!" he blabbered on for a bit, gestures widen and having a hint of theatrics to it.
do you have any role model? How do they inspire you?
"if we're talking baout celebrities, i find hong seokcheon greatly admirable." he answered, energy toning down more but a smile still in place. "i mean, i respect him for being open about his uality which could change the rather conservative mindsetour country had. i mean, that's actually my personal goal, to help pave a way for the lgbtq+ community and letting them have more freedom and acceptance from others in our country."
do you have any ideal type as well?
"i don't really want much from a person. i mean, really, love's such a strange thing! but i guess if we're talking about an ideal type, then someone who would treat my family well, and one who i could enjoy life with." he answered after ulling it over for a moment.
how do you feel about the concept of your group?
"i think it's super cool and unique! it's different than usual concepts and i hope i can pull it off well so i don't bring the others down due to my blunder." he sheepishly chuckled, rubbing the back of his head as he did so.
what do you think about your labelmates, necalli, adora and loona?
"they're super awesome! i bet they're going to be great legends like super junior, girls' generation, big bang, and 2ne1. " he responded sincerely, eyes shining with optimism and bright beliefs.
and lastly, is there any idol you want to get to know backstage?
"i want to meet the top dancers so badly!! oh god—imagine meeting rain!!! or kai!!! or—or—feeldog! maybe noh taehyun???" he squealed as he started to imagine those scenarios, hands on his cheeks as he thought about it. "oh! oh! oh! oh my god what if it's boa?!?!? but kahi! hyoyeon! minzy!"
he then slapped himself lightly on his cheeks before he took in a deep breath and exhaled. "sorry! i just can't pick at all! they're just a handful of who i wish i could even meet in backstage."

notes.
he's a total sweetheart who loved to show affection and would also do cliche and cheesy romantic gestures when he's in love. he'd also be a bit more attentive to the one he loved and gets a bit more flustered when with them. he's going to sacrifice more of his own time and rest to help his love interest. some ideas would be someone to help this guy to not work so hard that he'd overwork himself and just making sure he would care for himself more too.
status. currently a single pringle.
ending. up to you! feel free to choose how it ends.
