Style: Kendall's fashion is just as muted as his personality. He doesn't do much to stand out. Dark wash or black skinny jeans and sweats are his go-to pants options and he usually just pairs it with basic tops that are weather/event-appropriate. He does tend to get a little fancy with his shoes, since he loves cool high-tops and fun-colored vans and converse sneakers. He also likes combat boots when he's "dressing up" a bit.

Personality: Kendall is quiet, gentle, and unassuming. If it wasn't for his apparently striking looks, he's certain that no one would pay him any attention at all. He spent a lot of childhood being told how handsome he is, and instead of going to his head it actually had the opposite effect on him; he's terribly self-conscious and very full of doubt about himself but he hides it well behind a strong poker-face and a silent demeanor as he spends hours carefully grooming himself to perfection. Very few people can read him unless they pay a good amount of attention to his body language and behavior. He's not a teller, he's a shower.

He's sort of a wallflower, not really participating in a lot of the social action but he likes being around people constantly. He hates being lonely. He may not say much, but he just enjoys watching others and he's really observant and intuitive. He knows more about everyone else than most people realize and he keeps it all to himself, so he's great for people to confide in and tell secrets to. He's very loyal, especially to his family, friends, and group mates, and bends over backwards for them to make their lives easier. Any sort of betrayal on his part is definitely not likely to happen no matter how poorly he may be treated by those individuals in a given moment.

He can usually be found daydreaming, imagining alternative scenarios to things going on his life or just pretending he was as confidence as he wishes he could be, doing and saying things he would never have the guts to (unless he's really pushed to the limit - then he can lash out just as well, if not more so, than anyone else).

Background: Kendall comes from a slightly non-traditional Singaporean family in that his family was huge. While most people settled on having one (and in rarer cases two) children, he was the youngest of four. He has three older sisters who influenced him a lot growing up, which explains his interest in good grooming and Channing Tatum. He was a mama's boy and his relationship with his father was a bit strained because Kendall didn't seemed shallow and lakcing in focus so he constantly berated the boy, hoping to make him a better person. Kendall found refuge from his father's constant nagging in music (he's turn up his headphones and tune him out). He would rap along and ocassionally attempt to pen his own raps. By the time he got to high school, he had his heart set on pursuing music. Through the internet he discovered kpop and heard of JYP's open auditions and gave it a shot, succeeding on his first try - not so much because of his talent, but because of his passion and determination. A few months later, he was transferred to A-Star since he believed it would be a better fit for him in the long run. And now, he's preparing to debut.

Family Members:

* Father - Lim Feng - 48 - College professor - Feng is very stern with Kendall, mostly because he's the only boy in the family and the boy is a total space case but he means well. Kendall thinks he's too hard on him, but understands that it comes from a good place, no matter how annoying it can be.

* Mother - Serena Lim Aijia - 49 - Department store manager - Serena loves Kendall to death and spoils him. Kendall in turn is definitely a Mama's boy and he confides everything in her.

* Sister - Abigail 'Abby' Lim Qiuan - 23 - Office Assistant - Abby is really nosy and usually likes to in on her sibling's personal lives. She's overprotective when anyone wrongs anyone in her family.

* Sister Julie Lim Xi Zuan - 21 - Student - Julie is the hardcore partying sister. Though it doesn't really seem like she cares for her family because she's quick to head out with her friends instead of spending time with them, she's actually really considerate and thoughtful of her family's needs.

* Sister Stephanie Lim Jiayi - 20 - Student - Stephanie is the sister Kendall gets along with the best and she is definitely his favorite. Whenever he's home, he can usually be found hanging out with her doing whatever.

 

Best Friend(s):

Natasha Low "Tasha" - 20 - idol, member of SKarf - Kendall and Tasha grew up in the same neighborhood so they're each other's close support system while they both live and work in Korea.

ual Orientation: Gay

Ideal type: He's likes someone who is extremely confidant and passionate about what they do. He's pretty into boys with tattoos, as well. In public, he'll say his ideal type is Hyuna or Kahi but in actuality his ideal type is someone like G-Dragon. His western celebrity crush is Channing Tatum.

Love Rival:

Im Jaebeom "JB" - 20 - idol, member of GOT7 - When Kendall was a JYP trainee for a short while he and JB knew of each other but didn't really interact or meet. It's not until GEMINI debuts and runs into GOT7 that they actually meet and introduce themselves. - JB lays it on pretty thick with Kendall who seems pretty standoffish but he actually likes the attention. JB is definitely Kendall's ideal type and he struggles to realize there might be someone better suited for him right under his own nose.
