💣 LET'S BLOW IT UP WITH 황비령!
❏;GUBIHO ’、 earned the nickname from fans due to her alluring and fantasy-like beauty during the automatic era. she became the talk of the fandom for a while when the fans would post their photoshop edits of her as a gumiho and showed comparison photos. with her lazy and innocent yet attractive beauty at the same time, even having the long, messy black hair, biryeong truly reminds people of the infamous my girlfriend is a gumiho time.
❏;GAYRYEONG ’、 fans would joke around the "bi" in "biryeong" stands for biual and while that's the truth, many of them believe that she is 100% only hungry for girls so gayryeong was born. bombshell knows about this hilarious name and they would call their fellow member by this, too. honestly, biryeong doesn't hate it but she just feels lowkey #attacked whenever a member approaches her and scream the nickname to her face.
❏;ENGLISH ’、 one of the compulsory subjects she must take at school but even so, not everybody was born to be good at learning a foreign language. she is only at the conversational level though biryeong always tries her best to speak to international fans with her broken english. people make fun of her, sure, but she has fun, too so she doesn't really mind even if it's kinda embarrassing. whenever biryeong has free time, she would study english by herself or ask other members to tutor her. the things she does for fans.
APPEARANCES biryeong has short, shoulder-length dyed dark brown hair with fairly long bangs that she often parts them in the middle. this wonderful girl coming from mokpo definitely a pretty face to look at, especially well-known for her innocent doe eyes that enchants anyone who looks into them. furthermore, she has the dream body of the height at 169cm and weighs 48kg. our pretty girl also has a mole under her left eye though the makeup layever would cover it, and she has many bruises on her legs and arms due to tripping and falling while practicing but makeup saves the day again.
STYLE mostly wears dresses that are sleeveless and comfortable, something that makes it look like she's on a vacation but skirts, pants or shorts would do the work, too. she loves wearing clothes of pastel and bright color scheme without complicated designs as she prefers a simple mixed with neat look. her style is very much feminine. furthermore, biryeong loves adding accessories like a hat, necklaces, bracelets and sometimes, a coat. she's always wearing high heels even if it's a hiking day.

❏;PERSONALITY. ’、
( doer ) flamboyant, generous, candid
clumsy, childish ( believer ) talkative
gullible, weak-minded, vulnerable ( dreamer )
CHARACTER INSPIRATION: minatozaki sana, lalisa manoban, kim ahyoung
❏ BREAK IT DOWN ’、 you are guaranteed to have a good time being around hwang biryeong. meet the twenty two years old korean girl who's loved by many for her animated personality, biryeong easily makes friends anywhere she goes to due to not only being outgoing and talkative and aside from the fact that she has a really cute smile that makes people can't look away from her, this ball of energy is exactly what you need if you're having a bad day.
biryeong likes to brighten up someone's day and her own day so it's all about having a good time. therefore, people find it extremely comfortable to be around her and biryeong's a great person to talk to. even if you are out of things to tell, she'll always come up with great topics that make you want to spend hours chatting with her more and more. she knows how to keep a conversation interesting, it seems like awkwardness doesn't exist in the biryeong universe. the lady's also seen as the most enthusiastic one whenever they are recording a show, seeing how excited she gets when they get to play games and such.
to put it simply, every idol group has that one member who's a child stuck in an adult's body. she is the one.
definitely one of the loudest members among the girls... but biryeong originally isn't funny. she is really bad at making jokes. please, never ask her to try to be funny because she'll fail you but what people find hilarious about biryeong is how candid and clumsy she is. biryeong frequently makes fun of herself by accidentally hurting her body or messing up and while she's struggling, everyone's laughing and having a good time they have been promised! netizens would compare her to lee kwangsoo as both are dumb and clumsy, depending on their instincts rather than logics and often ruin everything unintentionally but she's the softer version of him.
well, she really is an idiot. you either laugh at her clumsiness, stupid sayings or actions. bombshell's variety shows wouldn't be the same without her, someone who's the target to be made fun of all the time because she doesn't get mad at anyone and would react with a dumb look on her face or shout really loud, trying to find an excuse for her dumbness ( and she doesn't mind being picked on by the members, she enjoys seeing the bright smile on her loved ones' faces ).
biryeong's awfully honest so it's dangerous whenever she opens , she'll probably reveal the group's next comeback so yeah.... and for how blunt she is, sometimes she might say things that accidentally hurt others' feelings but knowing biryeong, she doesn't really mean to hurt those she loves. she can be very inconsiderate at times, causing inconvenience to everyone.
though she seems to be entirely useless, what's admirable about biryeong is how generous she is, she would give all of her money to a homeless man. the girl always offers people a hand even though they might never ask for her help. it's just something that she would do, almost like a habit and biryeong just enjoys helping them though it is likely that she will make the situation worse but sometimes, she is the greatest partner to have.
biryeong's literally a child, as mentioned for the 938439843rd time, from how loud to how vulnerable she is. this girl is like an open book and you can read through her easily, you know how a girl would tell their significant other that she isn't mad at them when in fact she really is? well, you can see it on her face that she's really mad, as clear as daylight.
she actually gets hurt and scared easily though she seems like a shameless person who doesn't care about all the negative things. sensitive, you might describe her. biryeong tends to want to give up easily and being under pressure is not something she enjoys. she will cry and this is most of the time a drawback since being all depressed is not always the best solution but at the end, she still manages to get herself together but it's still a tough time for biryeong.
this is not something that most of people would expect from her though because normally, she gives off the fearless, loud and confidently me image but she would cry and get emotional easily. even if she really wants to hide this side of her, she just can't do it because hwang biryeong is just obvious like that. she's like glass, please handle her with care!
❏;BACKGROUND. ’、
biryeong doesn't speak much of her past, not even to the closest friends she have because she knows that no matter what she says, people will always think of the same thought: she is much luckier than those poor kids out there who have to sleep in the cold without a shelter at night, she has no right to complain nor to wish for a better life.
because she really is a lucky child, her family is picture perfect.
both of hwang biryeong's parents, hwang jaerim and yang saeah are influential individuals in mokpo as the family owns the city's most famous restaurant that solves both traditional and foreign food with an expensive menu though it's a reasonable price for each meal that only the rich of mokpo could afford to pay. many business men or the filthy rich ones of mokpo book a table here for either a business meeting disgused as dinner, a birthday party or just a weekend night out with the family.
living a lavish lifestyle since birth, biryeong has no reason to complain but living with a family whose opinions and ways of raising their children are highly old-fashioned and traditional is much tougher than one could imagine. little biryeong has to be a perfect girl even before she could walk — she must know at least how to play an instrumental and be talented at something, have some artistic senses in her, she must be good at math and literature, excelling at every subject in her school. no boys, no dating, no dressing like a and she must tell her parents about everything that is happening in her life.
the wost part? she couldn't control her own life, her future had been planned ahead by her parents. one day, she was going to study at one of the top universities in seoul and she would become a doctor with high income when she finally graduates. biryeong believed so, too, until that one faithful day when she was picked for a dancing performance before school.
she is a natural, from the way she twirls around to the confident expression she wears on her face. everyone, even the instructors, her teachers and classmates admitted that. biryeong realized her love for dancing when she was nine years old but couldn't really do much about it, and then came the first appearance of girls' generation — the legends of the kpop industry was first introduced before the public in 2007.
her parents, of course, didn't like the girl group. they said it was such an absurd idea and any parent who allows their daughter to wear short skirts on stage doesn't deserve to be called a parent which only elaborated how terrible this career would look like to them in their daughter's eyes but for a moment, biryeong thought of something.
she wanted to be like those female idols on stage. talented and pretty, channeling their bright energy to the audience through the powerful dance movements and their sweet smiles. each of them looked so confident on the stage even though it was their first performance — the look of happiness, knowing that they were doing what they love the most.
biryeong felt that she could understand them, somehow. every night before dinner, she would lock the door and practiced their choreography. the young girl would pretend that she was standing on stage with the microphone in her arm, and that she was performing proudly in front of the audience that was born for her. her audience, because biryeong would charm them on her own!
at school, she and a group of close friends who were both into idols would form a small kpop cover group and it started with them covering snsd's songs to dbsk, bigbang, t-ara and kara... old school kpop, good old times. but it was just only a hobby since biryeong was quite positive that her parents would never let her look like those idols on stage. every night when the tutor they hired to teach biryeong would sit by her side and scold her if she couldn't solve a problem, she felt like so tired. she wanted to give up, just going to sleep and forgetting everything...
then came an audition held right here in the city. hosted by pledis entertainment. the group of friends promised to try out together so biryeong lied to her parents that she was only studying at a friend's when in fact, she wasn't.
and then the worst thing happened. a daughter of a family's friend recognized her and told her parents about that. words traveled around fast, and it was time the hwang family knew. disappointed in their daughter, they grounded biryeong and even contacted her friends' parents, telling them to learn some things themselves to raise their daughters right as they were having the most ridiculous and craziest dreams. couldn't handle their selfishness anymore, biryeong finally cracked open her own shell and for the first time, she revealed who she really was to them: not soft-spoken, obedient and kind as they wanted to be.
she was the worst daughter one could have ever asked for. yelled at her parents, calling them idiots and airheads for never understanding her and wish that they were dead instead of giving birth to her. that was one of her biggest mistake... she didn't mean any of that.
after that, they didn't care about her anymore. biryeong felt guilty for making her mother cry but when her dad said that she could leave the house, do whatever she wanted to do and never come back... she left the house. not a problem, she passed the audition so she would have a place to stay. at fifteen, hwang biryeong traveled to seoul on her own with her saved money, without any friends or a family member by her side. she tried her best, she really did, only to be told that she wasn't what they were looking for after a year of shedding blood, sweat and tears.
upon receiving her phonecall, her mother and younger brother came to seoul to meet her. she cried like a little child in her mother's arms, knowing that she had failed at everything and feeling even worse to meet her mother after all these months not giving the woman a single call and apologized properly for what she had done.
but she was forgiven. father was still mad at her but biryeong's mom already forgave her. not only so but mommy and little bro were both very supportive of her decision of becoming an idol so they promised to stay in seoul with biryeong, renting an apartment until another company accept her. fortunately, bighit was opening its door for new talents and here came another chance for biryeong.
a week later, she was accepted. seeing them off at the airport, biryeong fought back the tears as she coyly smiled at them. sure, her family is still very traditional and judgmental and all... but at least they have faith in her. even though her father still won't talk to biryeong, she knows that one day, she will all of them proud.
"i will never disappoint you anymore." said the girl as she hugged her mother and brother tightly.
still, it scares her. it feels like there is no more secret between them... but biryeong's hiding something that is much even darker to the family. to the hwangs, nothing would be more terrifying than finding out that their daughter isn't normal.

❏;TRIVIA. ’、
uwuTWO. tbh the female idol just cares a lot about the fans..... she wants to know what's going on within the fandom then tells her members about it. while bombshell members obviously all love their fans, mayhaps biryeong's feelings are just a little bit more passionate and deep? she's also the queen of fan service!
uwuFOUR. a huge fan of harry potter from the books to the movies, she absolutely likes hermione and has expressed to the fans that one day, she would love to date a girl with the same personality and appearance as the fictional character ( this, of course, even makes the rumors of her being a big gay more real ). also, biryeong always talks about how much she wants bombshell to attend hogwarts with her. fans often give biryeong gifts that are related to harry potter like glasses, scarfs, sweaters,...
uwuFIVE. has a habit of wrinkling her nose when she's feeling nervous.
uwuSIX. takes 9384398434 selcas a day but keeps only one of them. she's also extremely good at editing and taking photographs all on her phone as if she was really professional photographer! biryeong would be the one to take most of the members' photos because she's just so good at her job, she's a natural.
uwuSEVEN. biryeong exercises regularly to keep fit and is committed to her diet plan. she's the type to gain weight easily so biryeong doesn't eat much compared to her members. she does have her favorite food tho, salad and fried eggs!
uwuEIGHT. a huge fan of snsd, her role models! her favorite member is kwon yuri.
uwuNINE. cries at the ending of every romance movie. just don't ask why her tears are flowing nonstop because she will cry even harder. it's just a biryeong thing, you can't change it!
uwuTEN. in charge of cleaning the bathroom in their dorm so she's always the last one to take a shower. doesn't mind, really, and the members trust her in that though if she's mad at someone, she would dip their toothbrush in the toilet and never tell them about it.
uwuELEVEN. here's another fun fact about biryeong in the bathroom. did you know that most of bombshell's choreography was born in the bathroom? it takes biryeong more than thirty minutes to take a a shower because she doesn't just shower herself but she will ponder in there, thinking of some dance compositions, testing them out right in the shower and sometimes trips herself. ( it explains why the members hear a lot of her screaming when she's showering ) but the bathroom is her thinking booth. it doesn't end there, she can even think of a dance movement while taking a poop and it's when the members hear her shouting again but in excitement, "eureka!"
uwuTWELVE. sings english version of disney songs randomly when they're in the waiting room, on the car, before bedtime, during breakfast... another biryeong thing. it's amazing how she remembers nearly every single song from aladdin, mulan, the little mermaid, frozen (obviously), tangled and beauty and the beast.
uwuTHIRTEEN. the rumors of her liking girls are just assumptions ( but pretty much everyone who has some sort of relationship with biryeong knows about this, even her family though she promised them that she's "normal" ) since she's never seen with a boy before, never once mentioned her ideal type and described a guy,... yet is always seen hugging and kissing her members, even pecking on their lips ( the members want to kill her afterwards ngl ) and talking about pretty girls so fans are like ??? quite positive that she's either bi or a lesbian. it doesn't help when she keeps agreeing to marry the fans at fansigns... "ah naeeee~ i will be your groom ^^"
uwuFOURTEEN. but biryeong is 100% gay, a big panicking gay who's too scared to admit it, not even to her closest friends. she has never once come clear about her uality before anyone, only claims that she's a straight girl though some people's gaydars never lie. this isn't something that she's comfortable talking about as her family's very old-fashioned and absolutely loathes the lgbt+ community. they think that being gay is a sickness. biryeong has already disappointed them enough so she doesn't want to give them any more stress. hence, this is a very complicated issue. she's afraid of her own uality.
uwuFIFTEEN. her dancing skills are extremely impressive, she's often mentioned whenever people talk about underrated female idols with oustanding dancing skills but her name will never be known for more than that. she can dance to almost every background music and knows a lot of kpop covers.
uwuSIXTEEN. the queen of skinship in bombshell. she loves to hug her members and giving them surprises smooches on the cheek so that's one more reason for fans to nickname biryeong as the gay queen. she also enjoys sniffing the members' hair,,,,
uwuSEVENTEEN. things you will hear a lot from biryeong:
"this new girl group is so pretty i think i'm having a crush on them— i didn't mean it that way i meant a no homo crush" "wow of course we know that, there's no need to—" "I SAID, its a no homo crush!!!!"
"can someone get me a bandage... i think i cut myself....."
"hey guys please don't get mad at me" "what did u do this time" "i accidentally told the media about our next comeback can someone escape to hawaii with me i don't think i can face our manager"
"OH MY GOD" "WHY WHY WTF" "i just thought of the best choreography" "ITS 3AM GO TO SLEEP OMG"
"who's your ideal type?" "oh... um... someone.... someone who can make nice kimchi... has black hair and.. and...... good at riding horses.... ?"

❏;BIRYEONG AS A TRAINEE ’、ever since she was still a pledis trainee, she's been known as that one talented trainee with marvelous dancing skills. not only so, but it was extremely easy to talk to her as she was, and is, such a friendly girl! it was such a shame that pledis let her go but their loss, not hers! since biryeong had more chances to shine after becoming a bighit trainee. the dance instructors immediately realized her potential and continued to train her into a better dancing machine while she did her best to balance out the vocal lessons as well. many female trainees would come looking for biryeong, knowing how generous she is and asked her to help them with their dancing improvement. actually, she was both famous among the male and female trainees!
❏;WHAT HAPPENED TO BOMBSHELL? ’、during their hiatus, biryeong focuses more on her dancing and even becomes a choreographer, collabing with other female idols, giving birth to legendary collab stages and also collabing with dancers at 1million dance studio or other studios. during this period, her reputation as a "main dancer" is finally blowing up. many think that she's probably going to end her contract with bombshell and bighit soon, considering how she's often seen with dance studio folks, assuming that she will just become a dance instructor, choreographer, freelance dancer or whatever.
❏;WHAT IS HOME TO A LOST GIRL? ’、every time someone asks biryeong how does she feel about being an idol under bighit's management, she proudly claims that she will stay with the company until the last of her beath. generally, she doesn't receive bad treatment from the company as she's been doing her parts so well so far. they see her values and she strongly believes that they saved her. hence, she will support and trust every decision that bang pd makes. bluntly.
[ +387, -140 ] heol~ now that their daughter's also a e, how do they think about that? poor these parents, thinking they did a good job raising their daughter ㅋㅋㅋ
[ +90, -23 ] this family shouldn't even be allowed in our modern society anymore. how are they going to fit in? grow up
[ +6155, -2021 ] so our country is producing stars instead of idols now?
[ +3962, -780 ] i bet she's doing this for attention only! why do female celebrities in america look so hot when they kiss each other but when it comes to these idols, they look so filthy?
[ +2056, -300 ] you seriously are trying to tell me that locking lips and kicking tongues are just about friendship? ㅋㅋㅋ could have come up with a better lie
[ +1332, -129 ] i hope they aren't making up excuses because that would be so cheap of them to lie about someone's heritage and uality
[ +824, -103 ] bighit should do a better job at managing their idols. they are still young and in the rebellious phase.
[ +241, -113 ] aren't the three of them already known as good friends tho? do you girls have no male friends or what? you can't decide who gets to be friends with who, these comments are so toxic
[ +218, -466 ] i knew it, she lied about before! she'll always be a lying lol
fake... fake what? biryeong stares blankly at the female whose excitement from earlier has turned into a look of boredom and disappointment once their eyes lock. hey, she recognizes this girl. it's frodo, alda's biggest fansite masternim! but she called her a fake gay girl, what does that mean? furthermore, it seems like frodo hates her? "hey!" biryeong calls out. "if there's something about me that you find annoying, can you please tell me? i promise i will be better and improve myself!"
frodo rolls her eyes, here she goes again with the fake kindness. "stay away from me, biryeong-ssi. we aren't close and i wouldn't want to hurt your feelings."
"that's fine, i can take criticism." the idol smiles, yes! she must face the truth! she wants to be better, so maybe she can learn that from a hater. plus, frodo is like bombshell's most loyal fan ever so if this girl likes every member besides her, that will seriously hurt biryeong's feelings though poor girl, she doesn't know that frodo has been waiting for an opportunity like this day for years.
frodo smirks. "then i'll tell you why. first of all, you are the biggest idiot i've ever met. i don't understand what's so funny about you that makes people, even alda my princess who doesn't even smile at my camera smile about it. second of all, the fans are always praising you as the gay queen but complimenting girls? everybody can do that. you're just a straight kiddo pretending to love girls so the fans will find you relatable or whateve, which is cringey as . you're just faking everything, okay?" frodo pauses, catching her breath before finishing the speech. "now leave me alone, i have other things to do that are much more worthy than talking to you."
what the hell? what, frodo thinks that she can just leave after dropping a bomb on her head like that? biryeong hisses, lunging herself at the fansite master, making both of them fall hard on the concrete beneath and the sound of frodo's camera crashing is the most painful noise on earth, next to frodo's fear of losing everything important to her, which is the camera. "what are you—"
"you will never understand how hard it is for me to like girls, never! so you can't just talk to me like you know everything!" fake gay queen? pretending to like girls just so fans find her quirky and interesting? it, frodo, she is the real gay queen. biryeong is lying on top of the other female, tears begin to well up in her eyes. frodo, pined down to the ground by the female idol, stares up at her with a strong feeling of disbelief. "biryeong-ssi, you like girls... ?"
ah, . what should she say next? biryeong stares back at frodo, completely at a loss for words. there's no point in denying now but she can't just reveal her secret to a stranger like that. frodo could tell anyone about this and her entire career could be ruined—
"please get off me, biryeong-ssi. you broke my camera and people are staring at us, we look like two stupid lesbians fighting even though that's true."
now it's biryeong's turn to wear the confused expression on her face. according to what frodo just said—
"let's trade phone numbers. you tell me everything you know about alda and in exchange, i tell no one about your confession of being homo and how you fought a masternim to the point that the most valuable item to her is all damanged."
their first meeting happened like that, almost too odd and hilarious to be real. their romance, just like this first meeting, is a sitcom.
it's frodo, biryeong sighs loudly as she types back. no, we are on a diet right now. what?! alda is on it, too?? the entire group is, we are only allowed to eat one meal a day. the only one that needs to go on a diet is you. come down and meet me in 15 minutes.
??? unbelievable, she just called her fat and wait, how the hell did she know where they live?! once biryeong is standing outside alone, looking north and south to check if there are any stalkers, paparazzi or any suspicious one around, she screams in horror as she's approached by a girl in black. "shut up, it's me, frodo." "frodo, why do you look like a hitman— how did you know where we live? should we be concerned, are you sure you aren't a sasaeng???" "i followed you the other day home back home but don't worry, i don't intend on stalking or breaking in, just curious to know where my goddess lives that's all." by goddess, of course it's alda. frodo then hands biryeong some food that smells incredibly delicious, she then quickly scolds the idol when biryeong's basically drooling. "give this to alda only, okay? she's already a skinny legend of perfection i don't want her to lose any more weight. tell her that you bought it yourself and if you eat her food, i will eat your head. don't forget that you still owe me a CAMERA." "o-okay,,,,,," scary.
UWUFIRST SOMETHING TOGETHER ’、someone posted a discussion of her family background on the internet, causing a huge controversy within the fandom. frodo texts the girl, not asking if she's okay because obviously she isn't? but asking biryeong if she wants to talk about it, considering how her family doesn't know the fact that their daughter isn't straight yet. biryeong isn't sure about opening up since she has literally never told anyone about her uality. frodo then tells her about her first time coming out in front of her family and friends, about how hard it was for them to accept her for who she really is but eventually, if someone loves you, they love you for who you are, even your flaws.
UWUTROUBLES IN PARADIES ’、their album, a lonely night, has been a success so when the group is done promoting, frodo offers to throw a party for biryeong ( just the two of them ) to celebrate this mutual happiness. it's night time, they go from a korean bbq restaurant to the amusement park then decides to end the night with a passionate kiss by the river bank. frodo doesn't know why did she decide that kissing biryeong would be a great idea and biryeong still doesn't know why did she agree to return the kiss, but neither of them regrets the decision. yeah, they definitely do like eah other. they're in love.
UWUGIRLS GIRLS GIRLS ’、after a series of unfortunate events and throughout their long journey... imma leave it up to you as how they're going to work this out but at the end, they're a happy couple kekek
