what is she like?

personality: Gong Mai is a bright, peppy and very upbeat girl. Mai is almost always seen with a beaming smile plastered across her face. She is a very positive girl and is rarely ever in a bad mood. Her optimism accompanied with her happy go lucky demeanour makes her very approachable. She loves to be with others, whether it be people or animals. Mai is known to lift a tense/silent atmosphere with ease due to her comical actions and uplifting mood.

Mai enjoys spending her time looking after her pets, mainly her dog Keen. This may be by going for walks, obedience training or just simply cuddling with him. If she’s not with Keen, she will often be enjoying tea at a corner café or improving her vocal range.

Mai enjoys goofing around and playing practical jokes on those who are close to her. This includes taking their possessions and hiding them somewhere or simply imitating their facial expressions and actions for an amusing response. She enjoys skinship to an extent that others may find slightly annoying. She has a habit of poking people’s cheeks and playing with their clothes. Mai has a 4D personality and is always up on her feet. She loves to dance despite being a poor dancer.

Mai is very honest with people. She will openly speak her mind and may say things without fully thinking it through first. Fortunately for her and those around her, Mai, most of the time only has nice things to say.

Mai comes off as an immature girl, however, she is extremely hard working and passionate about her dream of becoming a singer. Her “on stage” and “off stage” character are almost complete opposites. When performing, Mai overflows with charisma and stage presence in contrast to her childish behaviour off stage. She takes singing very seriously and will always give her best to deliver a successful performance. Unfortunately, this mature manner doesn’t extend to dance practices and Mai will usually be found messing around which often leads to her being scolded by her unnies. This lack of concentration in the training room may contribute to her poor dancing skills. However, Mai is not a stubborn person and will follow instructions given by her seniors.

background: Mai comes from an average household consisting of her mother, father and brother. All the members of her family share a close relationship and are very supporting of Mai’s decision of becoming an idol.

As a child, Mai was always very vocal. She would sing along to songs that came on the radio and even dance whenever music videos appeared on the television. As she grew older, Mai would always tell her parents of how she wanted to become an idol. Her parents were not fond of her decision and felt that she wasn’t choosing the right career path. Her father in particular, opposed to the idea of his daughter joining the music industry. Her parents forced her to give up her dream of becoming a singer to follow a more stable career. Her father opted for her to be involved in the medical department.

When Mai was 11, her family took a trip to Thailand to visit her mother’s relatives. Staying in the outskirts of the city of Bangkok, Mai realised the large numbers of strays around the area. She would often feed the friendlier ones any leftover scraps. One stray in particular became interested in Mai. As the two bonded, Mai would constantly beg her parents to bring the dog back with them when they return to Korea. Her parents continued to deny her requests until Mai dragged them to meet the stray. The poor condition of the dog tugged at their heartstrings and before they knew it, the dog returned with them to Korea as part of the family and was named Keen.

The decision to take Keen resulted in a change of career for both Mai’s mother and father. Mai’s parents quit their previous job to do what they were passionate about, which is helping those who need it. Mai’s mother works alongside her father in a family run Veterinary practice. Although the pay for this job isn’t enough to live the life of luxury, they both enjoy what they do as the satisfaction of helping animals is greater than any pay check. Both Mai and her brother would often help run the practice alongside their academic life.

After their experience in Thailand, Mai’s parents changed their minds and urged her to do what she was most passionate about, which was singing. They supported her decision of becoming an idol.

i love you.

love interest: Do Kyungsoo
his personality: Kyungsoo is quiet around people he doesn’t know, however, he is not shy. He likes to stay to himself most of the time and just observe those around him. Kyungsoo is passionate and devoted to singing and will often be practicing in the booth with Baekhyun. He also loves to cook for his fellow members and clean up after them. He is polite and very considerate of other’s feelings. Kyungsoo enjoys skinship with his close friends (Kai, Suho and Baekhyun) but feels awkward and uncomfortable when it’s someone else. He has the tendency to look confused all the time. Once Kyungsoo opens up, he can be quite dorky and playful.
how did you meet?: Baekhyun asked Mai to join him to practice singing. It was then that Mai first met Kyungsoo who was also practicing. They all attend regular sessions together to improve their vocal skills.
relationship with each other: Just friends at first since Kyungsoo is awkward and uncomfortable with Mai’s skinship.

back-up lover: Kris
his personality: Kris at first appears cold and judgemental but is actually quite the opposite. He is very caring towards all of the EXO members and does everything he can to keep them happy. Kris doesn’t open up easily to new people and he likes to keep his past hidden. Kris is naturally charismatic and at times, even greasy. Kris likes to cook for the members despite the fact that his cooking doesn’t taste very nice. He also likes telling jokes but unfortunately, no one finds them funny.
how did you meet?: Mai and Kris met through dance practice as both of them are weak dancers. They got to know each other more as they trained.
relationship with each other: Friends

you’re an idol!

trainee background: At 13, Mai auditioned for SM. Unfortunately, Mai was turned down as her singing capabilities were not at their “peak”. The company told her to return the following year after she had improved her skills. At 14, Mai re-auditioned and got accepted as an SM trainee. It wasn’t official whether she was going to debut or not since the company thought her voice was still lacking. Mai trained hard for four years, taking up singing lessons to improve and practicing daily. Mai trained until her voice was much stronger and steadier. Although Mai doesn’t have large vocal range, she is very capable of reaching high notes and can hold them for a long duration.
