expanded personality.
PEOPLE USUALLY SAY PART OF TAEHYUK'S PERSONALITY MATCHES HER FACE AND THE OTHER DOESN'T MATCH. WHICH IS TRUE, KIND OF, I THINK. TAEHYUK'S THE FUNNIEST GAL ALIVE (NO SHE ISN'T). SHE HAS PROBABLY THE MOST LAMEST JOKES EVER THAT SHE CRACKS AND SITS THERE LAUGHING AT THEM BY HERSELF. IT MAKES OTHERS LAUGH, NOT BECAUSE HER JOKE WAS GR8 OR ANYTHING, BUT BECAUSE SHE'S LAUGHING BY HERSELF AND ITS FUNNY SEEING HER LAUGH AND AT LEAST SHE MADE AN EFFORT. SHE HAS WEIRD INSULTS AS WELL THAT SOMETIMES DON'T MAKE SENSE AT ALL AND PEOPLE JUST LAUGH AT THEM RATHER THAN GET UPSET AT HER INSULT. SHE'S VERY LOUD AND UPBEAT, IF YOU WERE TO JUST MEET HER - YOU'D PROBABLY TELL HER TO TONE IT DOWN OR THINK SHE'S ANNOYING. SHE'S PRETTY SELFLESS, SHE'S USUALLY ALWAYS CARING FOR OTHERS RATHER THAN HERSELF (NOT THAT SHE DOESN'T). IT'S JUST THAT SHE FEELS THAT OTHERS MATTER MORE THAN HER. YOU'LL USUALLY SEE THAT SHE'S THE FIRST PERSON TO OFFER HER HELPING HAND WITH ANYTHING NO MATTER HOW DIFFICULT THE ISSUE IS OR WHATEVER, ETC. 

THIS PART OF HER PERSONALITY, PEOPLE WILL DEFINITELY SAY DOESN'T MATCH HER FACE. SHE'S LIKE A TICKING TIME BOMB, SHE CAN GET PISSED OFF AT ANYTIME AND AT ANYTHING. AND ONCE SHE'S ANGRY - SORRY DUDE, YOU'RE STUCK WITH SATAN ALL DAY (OR A FEW HOURS OR MINUTES DEPENDING ON HOW BADLY YOU PISSED HER OR HOW UPSET SHE IS). SOMETIMES PEOPLE CLOSE TO HER WATCH WHAT THEY SAY OR DO BECAUSE WHEN SHE'S ANGRY, SHE'S PRACTICALLY NOT HERSELF. LIKE SUPER STATUS, WILL ACT LIKE YOU DON'T EXIST AND ETC. (LIKE BEFORE, HOWEVER LONG SHE FEELS LIKE BEING ANGRY - IS HOWEVER LONG SHE'LL ACT LIKE YOU DON'T EXIST). SHE'S NOT THE MOST RATIONAL PERSON TO WALK ON EARTH. SHE'S PRACTICALLY THE MOST RECKLESS HUMAN BEING. WHEN YOU HEAR PEOPLE SAY "NO, THAT'S ILLEGAL" OR "NO, THAT WON'T SOLVE ANYTHING." IT'S DEFINITELY BECAUSE IT'S NOT RATIONAL, RIGHT?? BUT SOMEHOW SHE PERCEIVES ALL THAT TO BE A CALLING THAT IT IS RATIONAL, WHEN IT 100% ISN'T. WHEN SHE'S ANGRY HER IRRATIONAL LEVEL GOES FROM A 3 TO A LEVEL 85309. SHE HATES WAITING AROUND, VERY IMPATIENT. SHE WOULD RATHER EVERYTHING SHE DID GO BY QUICK AND EASY AND CLEAN. WHEN YOU TALK TO TAEHYUK, YOU'LL BEGIN TO REALIZE THAT SHE TENDS TO INSERT RANDOM ERTED JOKES IN FROM TIME TO TIME. SHE CAN USUALLY CHANGE ANYTHING INTO A DIFFERENT AND GROSSIER MEANING THAN INTENDED. 
background.
FIRST OF ALL, TAEHYUK IS A FEMALE WITH A MALE'S NAME BECAUSE WHEN SHE WAS FIRST BORN, HER OLDER BROTHER WAS FOUR AT THE TIME. SEEING THAT THE NEW-BORN BABY HAD NO HAIR, HE ASSUMED HE WAS GETTING A BABY BROTHER AND NAMED HER TAEHYUK. JANG TAEHYUK, ENGLISH NAME, VITA, WAS BORN IN FRANCE TO TWO PARENTS THAT ARE THE TOTAL OPPOSITE OF HER. HER FATHER AND MOTHER FORMER ATHLETES FOR KOREA'S NATIONAL GYMNASTIC & SOCCER TEAM. GROWING UP, SHE WAS VERY LOVED BY HER GRANDPA. HER GRANDPA'S INTEREST IN MUSIC DEVELOPED IN TAEHYUK AS WELL. SHE ALWAYS WATCHED H.O.T, SHINHWA OR BOA, ETC, SHE BEGAN TO BE INSPIRED BY THEM AND HOPED TO BE LIKE THEM ONE DAY. SHE WAS IN SOCCER JUST LIKE HER FATHER, BUT DIDN'T FEEL THE CONNECTION WITH IT AS SHE DID WITH MUSIC. ONE DAY, GOING INTO HER 4TH GRADE CLASS, SHE TOLD THEM ONE DAY SHE'D BECOME A KPOP STAR. WITH THAT NOTION, THE RESPONSES SHE GOT BACK FROM HER CLASSMATES WERE UTTER LAUGHTERS AND REMARKS OF HER BEING DUMB AND ETC. SHE'D GO HOME AND CRY TO HER GRANDPA. HIM TELLING HER THAT THEY WERE JUST JEALOUS SHE ALREADY KNEW WHAT SHE WANTED TO DO WITH HER LIFE. WHEN SHE TURNED 12, FEBRUARY OF 2008, HER FAMILY DECIDED TO MOVE BACK TO KOREA TO LIVE. 

SHE TOOK THIS AS A CHANCE TO FINALLY START LIVING HER DREAMS. HOWEVER, HER PARENTS DISAPPROVING OF THIS GOAL IN LIFE AND WANTED HER TO CONTNUE IN SPORTS. HER GRANDPA WHO FAVORED MUSIC OVER SPORTS, SECRETLY DAILY WOULD TAKE HER TO DANCING CLASSES. HE WAS USUALLY IN CHARGE OF TAKING HER HOME FROM SCHOOL SO HE JUST TOOK HER TO THE DANCE STUDIO AFTER SCHOOL SO SHE COULD READY HERSELF FOR AN AUDITION. IN HER OWN TIME, SHE'D TRY AND WORK ON HER RAPPING SKILLS. DURING THIS TIME, HER PARENTS HAD RELATIONSHIP ISSUES WHICH RESULTED IN A DIVORCE. HER BROTHER LEFT TO LIVE WITH HER MOM AND SHE STAYED WITH HER DAD AND GRANDPA. HER DAD SOON REMARRIED A WOMAN WHO HAD A SON NAMED SONG MINHO, WHO WAS A TRAINEE UNDER YG ENTERTAINMENT THE TIME. THE TWO DIDN'T GET ALONG AT FIRST BC MINHO WAS ALWAYS AT THE COMPANY TRAINING, WHILE TAEHYUK WAS AT DANCE STUDIOS WORKING HER OFF FOR AN AUDITION AND PRACTICING ON HER RAPPING SKILLS. LATE ONE NIGHT, WHEN TAEHYUK WAS WORKING ON HER RAPPING SKILLS, MINHO HAD JUST GOT HOME AND OVERHEARD, HE THOUGHT SHE WAS ALRIGHT AND DECIDED TO GO IN AND GIVE HER TIPS. SHE WAS PRETTY MUCH EMBARASSED AT FIRST, BUT FROM THERE THE TWO GOT CLOSER. MINHO GAVE AN IDEA OF HER AUDITIONING FOR YG ENTERTAINMENT AND BE A SIBLING TYPE UNIT TOGETHER. SHE AGREED AND AUDITIONED. IN OCTOBER 2009, SHE WAS ADMITTED TO BE A TRAINEE FOR YG. HOWEVER, DURING A FEW EVALUATIONS, SHE HAD RECIEVED LOW SCORES AND NORMALLY SHE'D DO GREAT, BUT SOMEHOW SHE STOPPED IMPROVING. SHE STOPPED IMPROVING OR WORKING DUE TO HER GRANDPA PASSING AWAY, HE WAS HER MAIN INSPIRATION FOR EVERYTHING. SO AFTER FOUR YEARS OF BEING IN THE COMPANY,IN 2013 SHE WAS TRANSFERRED OVER TO TS ENTERTAINMENT RATHER THAN GETTING NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE A HER GOAL IN LIFE, YG SAID,"TAKE CARE OF HER WELL." IN A LETTER WHEN HE TRANSFERRED HER OVER TO TS.

>| EATS SIX LARGE APPLES A DAY (TWO IN THE MORNING, TWO AT LUNCH AND TWO AT NIGHT)
>| started off with no musical abilities bc she carried her parents athletic traits more (besides her playing instruments but that was it and her dancing and rapping was alright at the time) and so when she first started training she'd get made fun of from others saying things like "you're not fit to be an idol", "leave, please", etc.
>| LOVES MOPPING AND IRONING CLOTHES
>| CURSES A LOT, TENDS TO CURSE IN FRENCH WHEN SHE'S ANGRY
>| WHEN SHE MEETS NEW PEOPLE, SHE SPEAKS TO THEM IN FRENCH - ACTING LIKE SHE DOESN'T KNOW KOREAN ON PURPOSE TO JUST CONFUSE THEM BC SHE FINDS IT FUNNY
>| WHEN SHE FIRST MET THE CEO OF YG, SHE BOWED AND SAID, "BONJOUR, JE M'APPELLE JANG TAEHYUK, AUSSI VITA. COMMENT CA VA?" (HELLO, MY NAME IS JANG TAEHYUK ALSO VITA, HOW ARE YOU?) THAT EARNED HER CLEANING DUTY ON THE FIRST DAY OF HER TRAINING. IT WASN'T BC SHE DID IT TO BE FUNNY, BUT SHE STILL HAD A HABIT OF SPEAKING FRENCH MORE OFTEN SO IT WAS JUST SECOND NATURE TO INTRODUCE HERSELF THAT WAY

HOWEVER, SEEING HER PERFORMANCE NOT IMPROVING due to her grandpas death - HE DIDN'T want HER TO GET BULLIED IF TRAINEES STARTED TO REALIZE HE KEPT HER AROUND BC SHE WAS THE FAVORITE AND GET JEALOUS. SO THE ONLY THING HE COULD DO WAS TRANSFER HER. 
>| she was yg's prized trainee because he viewed her as one of his best "works". hearing from mino, that her music abilities originally weren't all that great, she practically had to carve herself to be somewhat decent. seeing this determination in her to become an idol, yg admired that a lot and would sometimes put in extra work for her and she would train more and practice more without complaint all because she was determined to reach her goal. he was able to turn her into extremely good rapper within four years and semi-advanced dancer. 
>| THE WORD "SUGARCOATING" DOESN'T EXIST IN HER VOCABULARY. SHE DOESN'T FEEL THE NEED TO ADD A LITTLE LIE IN IT SO PEOPLE COULD BE SATISFIED. SOMETIMES IT COMES OFF AS RUDE, BUT SHE WOULD RATHER HERSELF ALWAYS BE 100% HONEST BC SHE'D WANT SOMEONE TO ALWAYS BE HONEST WITH HER. 
>| WOULD BE THE LEAST LIKED TRAINEE PROBABLY BC OF HER BEING LOUD AND HONEST ACTIONS BECAUSE SOMETIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF PRACTICE, IF SOMEONE WAS SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT HER - IT'D DISTRACT HER FROM HER PERFORMANCE SO SHE'LL STOP AND CALL OUT THE OTHER TRAINEE TALKING CRAP ON HER

family.
EVER SINCE, HER PARENTS DIVORCE, HER MOTHER AND BROTHER MOVED ENGLAND TO LIVE. FROM THERE, HER BROTHER AND MOTHER DIDN'T CONTACT HER AS MUCH ANYMORE PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THE NEW WIFE AND SON. WITH HER FATHER, HER FATHER WAS PRETTY ANGRY AT FIRST SHE WASN'T TAKING THE ATHLETE ROAD TO CAREER. BUT THE STEP-MOM WAS ABLE TO CONVINCE HIM TO LET HER GO THROUGH WITH HER GOAL TO BECOME AN IDOL. BUT EVER SINCE THEN, THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HER AND HER FATHER GOT WORSE ; THEY'D ONLY ARGUE WHEN THEY TALK TO EACH OTHER - HER FATHER CRITICIZING HER AND ETC. SHE AND MINO GET ALONG QUITE WELL, THEY BOTH SUPPORT EACH OTHER AND IS THERE FOR EACH OTHER WHEN ADVICE IS NEEDED OR SOMEONE TO TALK TOO. 
friends.
BOBBY (IKon) | MENTOR & best friends | bobby was also a trainee for rapping, however - he was considered one of the best trainee rappers so from time to time yg requested him to help others out. bobby was a mentor for taehyuk, they had great chemistry and same taste in music. although, bobby always had the hots for taehyuk and being minho's best friend - minho disapproved. after confessing to taehyuk about his relationships, she friendzoned him. she wanted to stay as friends but reassured him that their friendship wasn't jeopardized, everything contnued the same, the dumb insults and jokes and ugly faces. bobby was one of the first friends taehyuk made when she entered the company. 

bang yongguk (BAP) | mentor & close friends | having heard that taehyuk was one of yg's prized trainees was transferred over, there was sudden interest in her. hearing that she was a rapper trainee, got yongguk excited so he offered to be her mentor. she didn't meet him right away, it was three weeks in training at ts ent, when during practice, yongguk came in and asked for taehyuk. when she was taken out, she was scared she was too be transferred or dropped again. but to her surprise, it was just her starting her rap training with her new mentor. the two began to get close and compose lyrics together often, after company hours, the two would go to little cafes and work on composing music, etc. he treats her like a little sister, basically, taking care of her. 

zelo (BAP) | second best friend | the two are basically dancing buddies. because she started off dancing before rapping, she had been somewhat semi-advanced in it, but her weak ankles don't let her dance how she wants sometimes. the two would stay after company hours to use the practice rooms to create new choreographies for fun or mess around. being in ts for about five months at the time, she fractured her left ankle. it was after hours and no one was at the company and she was in so much pain, all she could do was cry, luckily, zelo happened to have stayed after hours too and heard her cry. he rushed to help her. it put her off of dancing for a few months, but when she got better, zelo was the first person there to help her back on her feet. 

sunhwa (SECRet) | mom | sunhwa usually gets bored sometimes when secret doesn't have any promotion going on. so she was roaming around the company to see if any trainees were added in. in which she spotted taehyuk talking to the ceo, she came over and offered to show taehyuk the ropes. and then within minutes, taehyuk was under the hands of the han sunhwa. she talked taehyuk about rules and how to get herself out of trouble if she ever ran into any, from there sunhwa grew an attachment towards taehyuk and took care of her and would watch taehyuk's health, making sure she'd be okay and still alive.
