▽ varia's flower cupcake : kisoo
— gaius octavius ; since his english name is augustus - and because he and his friends are a bunch of history nerds - calling him gaius octavius was fitting
— scotland ; being raised in scotland was enough for this nickname to find it's way in korea
— kiss ; kinda as a play on his name and kinda because he's always blowing kisses to his fans, his fans are always calling him kiss
— korean ; fluent: he grew up with the languag as his parents spoke it, and has spoken it daily since he was 14
— french ; conversational : he learnt some in school, and without anything else too do, he decied he could learn to seduce people in french
— norwegian ; advanced : he lived in norway for two and a half year, and when he started getting the language, they moved
Standing at 185 cm tall kisoo has always been lowkey proud of his height (ok, not lowkey, he'll boast about it to everyone who listens), and he's quite proud of the toned body he's been able to get after years of dancing and training and such. despite growing up in a country known for not having so much sun, he has always had the sunkissed skin that made girls (and some boys) jealous, and he've got a jaw carved out by michelangelo (according to some fansites atleast. he'd never sink to the level of saying that himself *cough*liarliarpantsonfire*cough*).
growing up with a brother and a mother who cares way too much about fashion, kisoo's fashionstyle has been described as the worst but has been forced into wearing cashmere sweaters, 200£ shirts and jeans that's killing his reproductive organs.
[ positive ] playful, loyal, smart, caring, confident, adaptable

*judging you out of this world* "yeah.. hi."
to many Kisoo seems like your stereotypical cold, arrogant, overly confident kinda-rich kid. And well, to some point, he is. But his isn’t cold, and he doesn’t seem arrogant when you get to know him (why anyone would think of him as cold and arrogant is a mystery to everyone who knows him). When you’re able too look over his seemingly arrogance, and get through his ice-cold wall, he… he’s a kid. A spoilt, rich kid whose parents have shielded him and his twin from almost everything, and thinks he owns the world.
*ugly loud laugh* "did you see his face?!"
in the beginning of when he gets to know you, he’ll be so gentle with you – treating you like glass, before he learns about your limits and stuff. He’s pretty playful, always up for a joke or a prank or something. There wasn’t much time or space for it, so whenever he has the chance, he’ll drop the serious exterior. Despite sometimes being viewed as kind of mean at times, he has never let any of his pranks get out of hand, and they have never been at the expense of others (let it be uality, gender, ethnicity, religion etc.), and he knows where the line goes (even though he might try to bend the line a little bit at times).
When he becomes your friend, he’s automatically very loyal to you. But he’s the smart kind of loyal who knows when it’s time to let go. If you’re an alright and nice and all of that kind of person, he’ll stand by you and even if you’re wrong he’ll tell you that (gently or a bit more rough, depending on who they are). He’s always been a kind of influential person (people has always liked him), and he has used it to help his friends who has had trouble of some kind with other people – he easily slips into the role of some kind of protector (and slips out of the role easily. He’ll be all scary and one moment, and the next he’ll be whiny or overly dramatic or smth). But once he sees that the person is not-good-kind-of-person (you understand), he won’t hesitate to completely block the person out – becoming the ice prince people seems to think he is.
"what's a -" "no, don't even ask. you should know this"
as a kid he was kind of shielded, and despite being book smart, he isn’t street smart (at all). The only street smart he knows, is how to scare people away (and that is pretty much just him looking at them with great judgement in his eyes and a raise eyebrow with a cocky smirk on his lips). In the beginning of his high school career, he was quite innocent (in the I have no idea what s even are), but as time went on, his innocence started kinda to slip away, and he became more erted in the sense that he’ll always come with erted jokes and stuff. But he still can’t look at a girl without blushing (we ignore the fact that he’s 20). And despite actually being smart, there will be at least one face palm a day because of a question he will come with that should be quite obvious.
"i'm gonna die! this is the end!" "it's a little papercut-" "i'm too pretty to die!"
so yeah, there’s two types of Kisoo to know. The first one is the one where he treats you as glass because you’re “too precious for this world and you shouldn’t have to see him in his underwear and you deserve every puppy and kitten” (his words, not mine) (as kind of mentioned). The second one is an almost unbearable one, where you won’t be able to say a word without getting some kind of sarcastic remark or comment thrown at you. And he’s known to exaggerate everything by at least 50% and he’s so dramatic it isn’t even fun anymore. It’s often to put himself in a good light, or to give himself a confidence boost (not that his confidence isn’t big enough. It’s big enough for three people, he doesn’t need anymore confidence. But when you know him, his confidence becomes somewhat of a joke, seeing that he doesn’t know as much as he prides himself in, and he is so incredibly clumsy, so he can do a very confident walk only to end up walking in a door). But if things are looking just the slightest bit fo dark, he will make it 50% darker with his pessimistic opinions that he just can’t seem to hold to himself. He just has to say them out loud and make things as miserable for everyone for some strange reason.
"yeah, she'll do-" "no, you do it" "i'm busy lying in bed"
The last point is that he’s so incredibly lazy, it’s amazing he has managed to get out of bed and even bothers to dance/rap at all. If he can get away with it, he will make anyone else do what he has to do, and he often just passes task on to someone else without bothering to hear what they have to say.
The fateful day of September the 23rd does not only mark the day that the founder of the Roman Empire was born, but it also marks the day Ok Kisoo was born. His brother as well, but we don’t need to talk about that. Born to a Korean mother and a Korean father in the city of Glasgow, he grew up between the hills of Scotland, instead of in the country of South Korea. He grew up with a doctor for a mother, and an often absent father (busy working at the oilrigs in the North Sea), in a kinda rich, quite ordinary family (if we look away from the rich part). The best day of his life (until he was like 13) was the day he got a puppy (okay, the whole family got the puppy but he’ll say it was him) and the second best day was the day he was forced onto the ice railing alongside his brother (but he didn’t admit it before he was 19 or so). When he turned 10, his father was offered a temporarily job in Stavanger, Norway, and the whole family moved (along with the puppy ofc). They lived there for two years and a half, before they moved back to Scotland. They lived for another year in Scotland, before the parents decided that it was time for them to return to Korea.
Kisoo will say that the most eventful things that happened before they moved to korea would be him starting ice-skating (figure skating) – which later led him to start ballet and other types of dancing. He was forced to started when he was 5 (because of his brother), and started enjoying it a year later. 6 year old him wanted to become the next world champion and the next four years had him at the ice railing four-five times a week. When he moved to Norway, he had to stop training “professionally” because of lack of instructors. It was during his stay there that he started with ballet because of the kinda resemblance to figure skating. When they returned to Scotland, he continued with both ballet and figure skating, and started picking up other dance-styles.
When he moved to Korea, it took some while for him to fit in and feel comfortable. 14-to-be in a country on the other side of the world and not knowing the language properly. Very much unlike his usual self, he kept himself to himself and his brother for a long while before he did manage to make proper friends. When he did make proper friends, it was through dance. Despite being slightly reluctant to continue dancing after moving to Korea, his parents forced him to continue, and he ended up meeting some of the best people he’d end up meeting.
At 15 year old, Kisoo joined starship entertainment, where he’d be spending his next three years, and kinda sealing his future for good. It was during his “stay” there that he was introduced to rapping, and he soon took a liking to it, his friends never hearing the end of his (purposeful) incredibly bad freestyles. During his second year he was chosen as one of the participants in a competition starship would have, where the winners would debut. He almost made it to the final lineup, before he was eliminated. After that he stayed with starship for little while after that, before figuring that there probably wasn’t much left for him there. Without anything else to do, he decided that he’d start studying, and ended up as a history major – continuing with dance and music in his free time.
After a year of doing nothing special, his brother and some of his friends managed to convince him to try again, and set him up with an audition to kingdom.
having known each other since they crawled around in diapers, both of them are big history nerds and they definitly didn't cry when kisoo moved (both times)
small but dangerous is the words kisoo would use on the girl he met during his days at starship, who also forced him into joining kingdom when the time was there.
originally his brothers friend, but kisoo took this kid under his wings, swearing to protect him from everything evil in this world.
33 years old and still turning up to work with a hangover, could someone get better?
you simply don't look that good at 31 is what kisoo always says, while trying to make himself look good for their manager who actually does stuff
year 1-3 : starship ent. :
his first year at starship was quite uneventful. everything was practise, practise, practise, trying to impress the higher ups and being able to debut before they were 30. kisoo being kisoo mananged to gain a little attention (if not for his talent, then for his personality), and it was proven when he was chosen as a participant for the survival show starship was hosting to create the next big thing. his second year was spent practising even more, trying to make both the public and the higher ups like him, so that he would be able to fullfill his dream. his final year at starship, after the survival show fiasco (as his dramatical likes to call it) was a year where everything was half assed, and he didn't put much effort into anything, before he decided that it wasn't really for him (for now)
after a year long break, kisoo returned to the trainee life with renewved energy, and ready to practice his of again, trying to impress everyone with his dancing and rapping.
no.mercy - participating in starship's no.mercy, kisoo almost made it to the final lineup
"out n' proud" pre-debut, proven right
towards the end of the survival show an anonymous soruce claimin they were an old friend of kisoo, and that he was gay. as the person was able to provide previously unknown pictures of kisoo, people started believing it. kisoo didn't come out with anything official proving the rumour true or false before after the show, but it is believed that this is one of the reasons as to why he didn't make it to the final line.
after some chaos at an airport (e.g) a person claimed to have been hitted by someone, and a video clip/photo showed kisoo's hand close to the victims face, and some people started spectulating he was the one who hitted the person. the person later said it wasn't him, and he was just checking if they were alright (or something)
- someone get's offended on a personal level when kisoo find's their secret stash of sweets and eats 75% of it
