"all i want to do is learn something new. i crave knowledge."
daehyun is a very animated and lively, and seems to be always moving either physically or saying something to keep everyone awake, which is most of the time because she can talk to people for hours if shes close to them. she's someone you can't get bored around and is essentially the cure of boredom in human form, loves to talk or listen and reacts to just about anything in her own way. she constantly wants to be doing something, or to be engaged in something whether it be conversation, a movie, or a physical activity. she likes brain teasers and things that stimulate thinking, or ponder on just about anything which basically earns her the academic title in her family. she won't tell you, but she secretly wants to learn everything about everything and everyone. she loves to learn and will almost always have her nose stuck in a book if she isn't practising, sleeping, eating or talking.

"when i'm my own little world, then i know nothing can hurt me. people can be so mean sometimes."
daehyun lives her life always in persuit of completing her goals in life, to indulge what she likes and make sure she lives her life to the absolute fullest doing what she likes to do. pleasure is her biggest weakness, whether it be sensually through touch or whether it be mentally through beautiful things and peacefulness. daehyun essentially lives in her own world, and when not busy will try and find something to do which usually means daydreaming and following her instincts/where the wind pushes her to. something that she loves is really pretty anythings, which brings her mental pleasure through its beauty. another thing that brings her great pleasure would be really nice food. and with daehyun daydreaming often leads into sleeping if she can, but not always. she can sleep almost anywhere if she trys, but usually doesn't because she's too busy doing other things.

"it starts like a spark, and before i know it turns into a fire. a large, uncontrollable wildfire."
IF ANYTHING DAEHYUN HAS ALWAYS BEEN SHORT-TEMPERED, WHICH IS SOMETIMES CAUSED BY people annoying her or doing something stupid. however she doesn't just go out and yell at them, she will in certain cases (triggered by: abuse on other people/animals), but most of the other times she will just give them the silent treatment until she's calm down enough to talk about it. but while she can be rather short-tempered, she is incredibly loyal to her friends and family and will stick with them until the end. the longer you are friends with her the more loyal she becomes and won't ever be the one to betray people so its always her getting hurt by other people (and she doesn't give people second chances unless there is some serious pleading and reasons given but she won't just jump to conculsions, she'll ask them and then some to find the truth then she'll decide if they've betrayed her), but she generally won't trust them as much when it happens.

"you don't think i'll do it. i will. just wait and see, i'll do it and you won't even see it coming."
daehyun is a a-class daredevil and will probably do anything if asked, however there is a limit to it. she absolutely won't eat things on a dare, despite absolutely loving food. its the only kind of dare that she won't do. she likes to  follow her passions in life, which means she will follow what her heart wants and is constantly surrounded by the things and people she is passionate with (friendship, romantic relations, familiar relations). she always follows her passions and persues them to the best of her ability.

"i know sometimes it seems like i don't care. trust me when i say i care. because i really do care. i care a lot."
daehyun sometimes seems like she lives in her own world and seems like she doesn't care for anyone outside of it, however she really does care for the people she loves and is friends with. she does try to look after them in small, menial tasks like cooking when everyone is too tired and would rather starve than cook, or doing dirty laundry when its starts to appear. she regularly keeps things clean when she has time, but its always accompanied by music and slightly off-key singing so cleaning time is never very quiet. however while she cooks, she'll often say its just because she's hungry and she loves to eat food but she always makes enough for everyone to eat some, and she'll cook even though she isn't hungry to make sure everyone is eating well. daehyun will often go out to different restaurants when she has the time to try new foods, and satisfy her desire to try all the foods in the world.

"i don't mean for it to sound mean. sometimes i don't even mean to say it, but i can't stop the words from flowing from my mouth."
daehyun is very blunt and often tells it how it really is, unless she really has to keep it sugar-coated. she can keep a secret, but when asked for opinions she will always tell the absolute truth (unless its talking about secret company/family/relationship stuff then she will avoid the question or give a vague reply), even if it is a little mean. though while she may feel bad about it, it helps keep the fake from the real in her life and the people she spends the most time with usually are able to put up with the harsh truth otherwise they really wouldn't survive with her honest. she will often apologise if it sounds super mean, but always reminds them that is the truth in her eyes and in general and she won't lie about it. however it doesn't mean she is deterred from friends, instead she makes them quite easy its just a matter of whether or not they can put up with her honesty and dorkiness after that. she can always bring attention to her, but tends to not do it a lot because she's often chilling in her own world and when it comes to press she'd rather keep her life private rather than in the spotlight as much as she can.

"i'm not humble. i know it may seem like i'm humble, but its only because i know i can do better. why brag when there is something better to achieve, and award better than what i have."
most people would say that daehyun is pretty humble and they know she won't brag about anything she earns or has, but don't actually know the reason wy she doesn't brag. daehyun doesn't brag because she doesn't think its the best, she likes and constantly knows that there will always be something better, something worth more than what she has and strives towards it in order to get it.

background.
when her parents found out that they were expecting daehyun they thought she was a boy, and the ultrasound showed up that she was a 'boy'. however this was due to a few little complictions, which hide the fact she was a girl and therefore her parents planned for a boy instead, which is why she has a masculine name rather than a feminine one because when she was born they just stuck with it saying that she was their miracle daughter/UN-SON and hadn't prepared another name for her so it stuck.

SHe GREW UP AS THE LAST CHILD OF THE LEE FAMILY, BORN RATHER early TO HER PARENTS, AND WAS THUS showered endlessly with love and affection LIKE HER BROTHER AND WAS well loved by almost everyone. despite the four year between her and her eldest brother hyuksoo they maintained a very closeknit relationship due to their shy natures throughout childhood and into their teen years, often relying on one another to help each other out and learn from. another similarity noted between the two was how tiny and skinny they were, and despite eating a lot they couldn't ever put on weight like their parents hoped which often scared them that they'd be more likely to get sick, which wasn't the case. they were just really skinny.

both children were admitted into english kindergartens so that they would learn english from a young age, and then placed into seoul foreign school, where they then took english for the rest of their schooling years. daehyun however, was quite the prodigy in school when it came to academics and often learnt entire textbooks within her free time. but while she was considered to be a genius child, she never fully persued academics as her life work, after discovering the arts at the age of 13 when her brother entered the modelling world. her idolisation of her brother, and close companionship that he'd provided her from a young age spurred her to follow in the footsteps of her brother and enter the fashion world herself, but instead of making it in fashion she found a whole new world in theatre and music.

she was first cast that same year as a child actress in the host (2006) as Hyunseo, which eventually set the record for highest box office seller in korea for a while. however she eventually retreated back to a normal life through the insistence of finishing school before she gave her life up for entertainment, now knowing that their daughter had just as much potential as their son. (but remember at the time she was 13 and her brother 17, and just about finished school. besides they thought that acting would affect her schooling much more than modelling.)
this eventually became her cocoon period, where she went through the change from an awkward child into a beautiful young adult. during this time she refocused on school, and spent almost all her waking hours either at school, practising her hobbies (singing or acting) or reading through textbooks and studying. it was also the time that her relationship with her brother became strained, with both of them now spending more time apart and only saw each other when he came back late from shows or photoshoots, or she wasn't learning or practising. she travelled during school for exchanges doing volunteer work in china for the pandas, cultural enrichment through london's theatre arts, and challenging herself physically scuba diving in malaysia and in hawaii's reefs and rainforests, which would be the highlight of her teen years besides being in the host, and often remembers her memories of them time and uses them to help her get lost in her mind. 

finally at the end of her schooling life at seoul foreign school, she was given permission from her parents to audition at several entertainment companies deciding that all she wanted to do now was sing because it would give her oppertunities to do everything else she loved (act, model, and learn things). this is when she auditioned at both sm and jyp because yg wasn't known so much for their singing (at the time), and was accepted into both but declined a spot at jyp because sm was indefinitely more popular to her and had more assurance of giving her an oppertunity to both debut and get successful. this choice was made due to the looming thought that it could all be a waste if she didn't debut right, or get popular and thus could affect her whole life.

during the summer of 2012 her brother bought an apartment just down the road from their family home and offered for daehyun to move into it to gain a little bit of indepenence away from their parents, but also to spend more time together as siblings. the location allowed them to be away from their parents, but if they felt homesick or wanted to visit their parents they need only walk a few houses down and go and see their parents. 

if there is one word to describe chanyeol it would be happiness. there isn't much else to why most people see why the word fits him so well, as he's always seen to be a constant source of happiness and positivity even when it seems like the darkest of times he always finds a way to be happy somehow, whether or not its hope to make a better outcome or its just telling a joke to make someone smile. he has energy that makes him someone that would never bore anyone, and he's the go to person to take out just because you want to do something. 

but even with all the energy and happiness in the world, sometimes he gets it wrong too. sometimes chanyeol does go a little far, and will say something insensitive without realising it and hurt someone elses feeling which leads to misunderstandings and unhappiness. until someone of course it up and apologises, usually if not always it will be chanyeol after he realises why they were upset with him. he feels a little guilty about what he said and constantly reminds himself that he'll do better and try not to say or think anything like that but sometimes it slights out and people get hurt. but overtime he has slowly gotten better and holding his tongues in certain situations so that these misunderstandings don't occur. sometimes he meddles with others peoples business to see if he can make them feel better, and sometimes meddles doing stupid things which end up more people hurt than helped. the guilt from them tends to teach him a lesson, but he has a habit of meddling that its hard for him to stop right away and so occasionally falls prey to meddling in others affairs without their consent.

another of chanyeol's good points would be his open and well-received nature. he can get along with just about anyone and similar personalities always click the best with him. he is someone that draws the attention to him, which is one of the main reasons he is so well loved in exo, bit he is also loyal like a dog. he doesn't give up much like daehyun unless they betray him first and then he become wary of them and much like daehyun is hesitant to trust them again.

chanyeol sticks to what he believes in and is committed to learning at every waking moment to learn something new or gain a new skill so that he can do just that little bit more. he stubbornly make sure that he can do the basics before even attempting to learn something new and then when he finds something he loves so much then he sticks with it and improves until there is no room left to improve. he looks for his passions in life and has been constantly help with doing them and following his dreams than with a superficial dream pushed onto him by someone else. chanyeol's decisions aren't always thought through and often need to be look at in depth by a third party, just in case he does sometime entirely stupid that could get him or someone else hurt. his impulsive nature often can catch him which is why he has to always second guess himself and reason as to why he has chosen something or is doing something. he's pretty stubborn however, and usually his decisions don't often change unless there is some serious thinking going on and he knows that the other option is better but often ends up by paying the price for not changing his mind.
 

first meeting.
chanyeol and daehyun first met when the giant bumped into her when she was walking down to the training room that she had booked for the rest of the day to practise her vocal skills. he knocked her down onto her (for lack of better word) and then proceeded to apologise numerously, help her up and make sure she was okay. daehyun of course brush it off and said it was fine after making sure there were no grazes or scraps, then introduced herself to the giant followed by her little honest truth,
"truthfully it kind of hurt knocking into you... but it was probably my fault for not seeing you. you are a giant."
her honest words had him stunned for a little bit before he just laughed and grinned it off, ruffling his hair a little bit. he then asked her a few questions, and invited her out for tea to make up for bumping into her so hard. she naturally accepted because it was free food and she is willing to give just about anyone a chance at being friends. they pair then parted ways, exchanging phone numbers and she went off into her booked practise room and he went off else where.
their first meeting was two years before exo's debut, 2nd of april 2010.

relationship status. good friends with 'weird, romantic, ual(?) tension' and a lot of chemistry according to other people  
interactions. we are the ideal friendship first and then we are lovers second. 
these two dorks originally before chanyeol debuted spent quite a bit of time outside the training building at little cafes with other trainees, sometimes he'd invite her to his parents restaurant for dinner and she'd indulge him in ice cream another day. just normal friends stuff. however after he debuted, most of their interactions were kept inside the training building or in deserted streets and cafes at night for obvious reasons, and they became more spread apart. however they are both like moths to flame, the flame in this case being one another, their personalities continuously attracting back to one another.

the pair are really relaxed around each other, and everyone they are friends with say they are too cosy, and too relaxed to be just friends. both tend to snort and laugh whenever the subject is breached and shrug knowing it wasn't the case, always arguing why couldn't a boy and girl be close like this as friends. daehyun is known for sitting on him, or draping her legs over his when they relax on the couch to watch a cheesy movie and in return chanyeol will hog the popcorn (despite there being two bowls), and eat it all.

they talk about everything, and there isn't really anything hidden between the two. although in saying that, it means that she can get absolutely frustrated with him and know whats up but can't do anything when its about a secret between them. he has taken her to meet all the exo members and while she does know them, doesn't push to become best friends with them because she knows that if it happens it happens and they don't need her on their cases while they are busy with promotions. so she's stuck with chanyeol because he was the only one of them she'd managed to befriend before their debut.

shes the one he goes to for advice about girls he likes, and he's the one that she looks to for extra unbiased advice aside from her brothers (the overprotective other dork). and when he was promoting she would occasionally send him a 'hwaiting' text saying he was the first one of them to make it as an idol. she also tends to be the one to give him the most realistic criticism about any and everything so to push him to improve, and he'll tell her everything about his life in the spotlight and give her criticism if she asks for it.

chanyeol has tried to teach her piano, but they always manage to get interrupted or side-tracked before they manage to do anything. she will drag him along when she wants to take him somewhere or show him something, mostly dragged by the wrist, but sometimes it'll be the upper forearm or hand, all depending on where she grips and how urgent it is. she's not embarrassed holding peoples hands, and she'll hug him goodbye always like she does with all her friends. he'll take her out and do things, it's like the ideal friendship between them.

they are the couple that seems like friends to the outside world which makes them strong, and then when you find out they are dating it dowsn't really change the way you see them. they act like its a friendship, but they love one another and they kiss, hug and all sorts, but still manage to have fun together like friends. their fights are usually only playful, and only the serious ones are caused by getting on their pet-peeves or lack/miscommunication.

conclusion. i'd like for them to eventually start dating, and like, relieve the apparent tension between them. even then i think due to busy schedules it'll be more so on-off dating, they have the romantic investment and are above all friends so it makes them a great match but because of schedules its never to certain so they are on one period and then off during promotions (daehyun hates distance relationships). but they won't really go for anyone else because they already have a match in their hearts. when they finally stop being uber busy idols and start settling down then i think they'll get together permantally and stay together.
but i don't want them going public unless they have too (or you want drama, you never know) because i feel like both daehyun and soohyuk prefer their lives to be rather private, and chanyeol wouldn't mind because he knows what his fans could do.
