↳ P A R A D O X　↰　 ↳ 　KIJEONG IS ON THE RAP TEAM　 ↰

. My laptop killed itself last Monday night, so I can’t properly edit apps right now without completely destroying the code. So until I get my laptop back and can edit my blogs safely, all blogs will have their information stored on a page.
. please view the blog page after this for Kijeong’s information. Please note that some things on the blog will have links embedded and others will have linked in brackets after them, and some will only be here because I can’t be fussed to move them at....currently 5am. sorry.

Im Kijeong

birthname Im Kijeong
other names

— Kijeong ; his stage name. not very original, mind you, but his choice nonetheless
— King ; his name in the underground, which was how he wanted to present himself: as not just a king, but as the king.
— King Im ; the boys like to joke that King is his English name, since that was his underground rap name, and since it's still one of his nicknames. but Kijeong doesn't answer to it, and he won't accept it as his English name. He says that he'll take an English name eventually. Might even have Ssam help him choose. But it's really not his top priority.

nicknames

— Ki, Kiki (hyung) ; all common name-based nicknames
used mostly by the younger members of Paradox (but always that hyung honorific); often used by the GJSN girls, too, because as severe as he somemtimes seems, he has a soft spot for them
— Keke/Kekeke [ㅋㅋㅋ] ; a play on words/sound and his name, and the fact that on the rare occasion when Kijeong does laugh he cackles quietly to himself
used most often by the older Paradox boys (because it's funny), the fans, and the people Kijeong met during his underground days
— Blue ; because of the shade of his hair during a several month stint during his underground days (it was a dark steel blue, and done on a whim at the time)
used liberally by the rappers he knew from the underground, used occasionally by the older Paradox and GJSN members and his own team (the ones that have seen pictures); eventually used by fans and both Paradox and GJSN teams after his hair ends up blue again for a round of Paradox's or a unit's promotions.
— King, Captain, Cap'n, Capitan ; unlike his (ex) "King" stagename, these nicknames are inspired more by his status as the rap unit's leader and as Paradox's leader, as as such they hold different meanings and emotions
used by the Paradox boys, though you might occasionally catch the GJSN girls using them post-debut
— Savage ; Kijeong is known for his fast-paced, brutal raps, his diss tracks (particularly those he produced during his time in the underground), and how quick he is to tear into anyone that stands between him and his goals (or the goals of his team).
an affectionate nickname, used largely by the older or bolder Paradox boys and GJSN girls (Sieun and Marelaine in particular), and by fans and staff
— the scary/intimidating one ; not to much a nickname as a phrase, and with all the nicknames that go with it; this is largely due to Kijeong's sharp features and his scathing personality. luckily, Kijeong isn't as scary as people are led to believe. he just looks the part (which is, thankfully, usually enough to keep the haters, bold fans, and even some sasaengs at bay.
used frequently by fans (affectionately), and by people just getting introduced to Paradox (casual listeners, new listeners, even idols. can't remember Kijeong's name? he's the leader, that "scary one". everyone knows who that refers to)
— Kkamagui (for crow) ; in the underground, Kijeong initially dressed in dark clothing in order to better hide his identity as he came more into himself and figured out who he wanted to be and what he wanted to present. this nickname was something the crowd and other performers came to call him (as well as Dark Crow) because despite branding himself as King, he didn't initially fit that image because he was still so new to the scene. he dressed dark and with that rough edge to his voice....kkamagui was a good name for him.
used by his old underground friends and adopted by the Paradox boys and eventually the fans
— (Kkama)Guijeong ; a play on his previous nickname and his actual name
used primarily by the underground rappers and eventually the Paradox boys

birthday June 19, 1995
birthplace Pohang, South Korea
hometown Seoul, South Korea
ethnicity Korean
languages spoken

— Korean ; fluent (100%) ; native language (though, admittedly, sometimes he struggles when it's sleep-dark-thirty. ....but really, who doesn't?)
— Mandarin Chinese ; advanced conversational (85%) ; Kijeong’s father knew Mandarin for his job and he told Kijeong early on that Mandarin would be an important language to learn. Considering Mandarin is now the most spoken language in the world (even if those people primarily reside in China), he was right. When Kijeong was young, his father had him start taking Mandarin courses to prepare him for the future. Kijeong remembers most of it despite it having been a number of years since his last actual class, probably because he still listens to some Mandarin music and took refresher courses after joining SM Entertainment
— Japanese ; moderate conversational (50%) ; Kikwang also knew Japanese, and even though Kijeong was still trying to master Mandarin at the time, his father pushed him to study Japanese, too. As their close neighbor and a common trade partner, it was a safe move, or so Kikwang claimed. Kijeong took less courses of Japanese than he did Mandarin, so his fluency is lower, but he did watch enough anime to retain key phrases, and he's since taken refresher courses and additional language lessons since joining SM.
— English ; conversational (30%) ; English is a language Kijeong himself chose to learn (though it was more because he enjoyed bands that only sang in English, and a couple shows that also only spoke English). It’s hard to learn, though, thanks to the rapidly evolving language and all teh slang, so aside from basic phrases and random vocabularly gleaned from movies, tv shows and songs he listens to, Kijeong’s fluency largely comes from conversations (aka Q&A Time) with Sam, Yeram, Youngmi, and the other English-speaking Paradox and GJSN members. He has yet to officially look into refresher courses because he never exactly had a base to refresh anyway, it’s all scattered and eclectic knowledge.

talent twins

— [ rap cpatain - main rap] [backup: cub-captain]

— rap twin - Changbin [ x x x ] [bu: Suga ] ; Despite his age, Kijeong is known for how young his voice sounds, particularly when rapping. Of course, he considers it to be one of his more charming points, particularly when comparing it to how he sounds when singing. Kijeong is also known for the raspy tenor and growl to his voice, and how the sound always has some sort of rough edge to it when he's really into his verse. (Not that this is an all the time thing. He does know how to tone down his aggression. He just...likes it. Being aggressive.) Fans love his live raps the most for this reason, because it's always clear that he's live and not lip syncing. Additionally, he's known for his speed, for how many syllables he can spit out in a second, and while he's not the fastest....he's certainly up there.
— vocal twin - Changkyun [ x x x ] [bu: Wow x x ] ; Kijeong will never be a main vocalist. Hell, he'll never be a lead vocalist. But he's a good vocalist, at least good enough to hold his own in a group that literally has a vocal focused unit. Like with his rapping, there's often a husky edge to his voice, but the biggest difference between the two is that it's only husky as opposed to more of a growl. (And when it comes to it -- if it comes to it -- Kijeong can always hold his own in a part switch scenario.)
— dance twin - Changkyun [ x x x ] [bu: Chan x x ]

trivia

— go crazy, these help out a lot u w u
— feel free to add a section for "quotes" or whatever else, these are just the basics i need!
— Kijeong has never actually taken an MBTI test, but he personally idetifies as ISFP. Even so, it's not always accurate. Kijeong has a careful balance between being introverted and extroverted. He gets energy from being on his own, from down time own his own at night with his notebook or laptop, or practicing alone. But post-debut, he also takes energy from being on stage and being able to perform, seeing all the fans and hearing them cheer for Paradox, for him. It's shard to explain. But technically, he's more IFSP than ESFP.

group projects / ideas

— dance duo! (probs Sam or Koji with one of the leads but could be a fun way for a vocalist or rapper to show off since donghun is actually a main vocal and just badass)
— Colors ver1 ver2 for either vocal unit or a...mostly...vocal? unit? (bonus: it kind of fits your overarching concept)
— dunno if I already linked this but. dance unit yo uwu
— dance unit and a few more willing victims-- look its Exo so I mean it could a prep for SM Town thing one year, and they're paying homage to their seniors uwu
— also could follow that crew and they just do. another thing. maybe. and then an official song t~~hat probably has zero bearing on the overarching idea,~~ but is kind of like Stuck was and is more to like showcase their performance skills ~~cause you can't say they don't go h a r d and it would raise the bar fr SM dancers like woah~~ and maybe it's more like an intermission between things idk I'm pushing dance crew and Ateez agenda rn it's 3am hello
— can u smile would be an awful vocal focus song yo
— here to push my rainy day agenda
— love me like you do (a cover song the boys do one summer, again maybe pre SM Town? could be fun if it coincides with the girls doing cute/fun covers and stuff) like don't they have a show...thing they filmtogether at some point? LIKE MAYBE FILMED DURING THAT?
— special stage idea! (i love special stages I'm not sosrry)
— for the girls... (cause I just found it--) maybe dance line and the older girls?
— another special stage!! (maybe it's a unit's sosng/performance and then the boys crash the party midway through idk)
— Fake Love + DNA cover (for the vocal team, because let them be awesome)
— girl like you (orig. Kidoh) (maybe for rap sub-cap?)
— IZ - Eden
— Lee Hi & Bobby - No One
— Heize & Giriboy - We Don't Talk Together
— Sungwoon - Blue
— Euijin - Insomnia
— JBJ95 - Spark, Awake,
— Daniel - Touchin,
— Sam Kim - If (for Jisoo about Sam cause holy shhht)

password It's funny, but when I was thinking about this so I could like actually muse on it a while I worked on Kijeong (like with Jisoo, rather than struggling like I did with Sieun), the first song that came to mind was Born For Greatness, which is literally just. that. that's the song. but he's more than just that, so idk I'm looking or other songs that describe him too
