 Basics
Full Name. im muki
Other Names. 
Nicknames. 
KANZEON. "and i'm kanzeon! please take good care of me!" less of a nickname and more of a second name, kanzeon was the name muki operated under while active in japan. people have called her kanzeon for so long that she almost forgot that her real name was im muki. she prefers to be called kanzeon to her actual name, so she frequently introduces herself as kanzeon.
KANZE. "hey kanze, do me a favor?" a shortening of kanzeon. used by the band members and friends.
ZAINICHI. "zainichi's scary when she gets like this..." meaning japan resident and typically used to describe korean people living in japan, her bandmates take to calling her this because she's a korean person who spent most of her life in japan.
DANGEROUS GIRL. "grr... damn that dangerous girl." the band members call her this because of her boldness in flirting with and teasing of everyone as well as how well she schmoozes people and because she can produce crocodile tears any time, any place.
GAL PAL. "love you gal pal." okay yes its weird but her boyfriend calls her this all the time, it's her pet name. hers is gal pal and his is boy toy.
Ethnicity. - korean
Nationality. - korean ( formerly held permanent residency in japan )
Languages. 
JAPANESE. native. being born and raised in japan, muki grew up speaking the language. even though she's currently in korea, one can catch her slipping into japanese at random moments. when speaking japanese, she speaks in a way that is very cute but also very brusque. she'll refer to herself as 'atashi' or refer to herself in third person, but then call someone 'teme' all in the same sentence.
KOREAN. semi-fluent. she learned quite a bit from her parents but understood more than she knew. it wasn't until she actually sat down to study the language that she understood how to really speak it. she does still make mistakes with tenses and numbers, conjugating verbs incorrectly and saying numbers in japanese.
ENGLISH. proficient. kanzeon started learning the langugae once she realized she had english speaking fans because she wanted to be able to communicate with them as much as she could with japanese fans.
KAOMOJI. native. this girls uses kaomoji for everything, even when she's handwriting stuff.

Elaboration. -
like the sun reflecting off the ocean, kanzeon is sparkling, shining, bright. dazzling is the word people use to describe her, bright enough to temporarily blind and her skill too apparent to deny. she's exciting and witty, invograting those around her with contagious pep and laughter. she's not one to dilute her opinions and she isn't one to beat around the bush. kanzeon is open and sincere and also honest and direct. one who knows more than she lets on, kanzeon is the type of person to see what many don't. she notices the small things, the seemingly insignificant things, and she has ready insight and understanding into and of those things. she's a pro at reading the atmosphere and at reading body language and when she notices that someone is upset, kanzeon acts as a comforter, helping them realize the truth and offering solace in any way possible. even though she does have a mischieviously playful side with her friends, and even though she can get incredibly sassy with them, she's incredibly passionate about the ones she holds dear and is always there to lend a hand. if a friend is going through trouble or tough times, kanzeon will do whatever she can to make sure they're safe. and despite what her flirtations might suggest, kanzeon's eyes never wander.

incredibly overt with her flirtatious nature, the nonchalantness in which she handles innuendoes is pretty funny. "raise your hand if you're thinking naughty thoughts!" gal pal i just asked if i could see your room. 
when she visited her boyfriend's room for the first time, she asked him if he had any and when he said no she offered to give him pictures of her in swimsuits. when someone jokingly asked about her measurements, she told them to look it up "my measurements have been public knowledge for a while now. oh, but they made my bust size 2 cm smaller on my profile". she's really confident in her body and appearance and likes showing it off. kanzeon flirts to make people feel good, because she finds something in everyone that she can genuinely like, because it's lighthearted fun to her. you know what they say about people in showbiz, and kanzeon is no exception. she really knows how to work a room, cozying up and flattering someone in order to manipulate them into doing what she wants. other popular methods of hers includes flirting and crocodile tears, all of which are incredibly affective. kanzeon has a burning competetive side, going as far to mock her opponent's insecurities and skills over a game of uno. not monopoly, not mario kart, but uno. with a love of having fun and causing a little trouble, kanzeon is like a puppy. she wants to play, play, play with no consequences. 

kanzeon takes a lot of pride in herself, her achievements, and anything going on in her personal sphere. she blieves she's the luckiest gal alive, the prettiest gal alive, the most talented gal alive and while she usually doesn't mean any harm by it, she's constantly reminding everyone that she's better than them, like what do mean not everyone got to hold a concert in america? she gets annoyed by the smallest things possible and has a tendancy to get very moody. one moment she's bubbly and cheerful and then the next minute she's sulking in the corner of the room and pouting because her boyfriend called someone other than her cute. she does throw an occasional fit too, paired with shoving her fingers in her ears, pouting, and whining. kanzeon is not a girl who likes sharing, very territorial over what is hers. if you try and take her food, she'll impale your hand with chopsticks. flirt with her boyfriend and she will literally throw a fit. say another idol besides her is your favorite and she will get on your case about it for the rest of your life. kanzeon, used to being in the spotlight, has next to no shame. she won't bat an eye at being dressed in fanservice-y costumes, she's eager to. she's not concerned with being flirted with or being asked risque questions. being the center of attention doesn't bug her in the least. but it also means that she won't care whos around and watching when she starts throwing a fit.

 Timeline

FROM QUIET GIRL TO SUPERSTAR,
KANZEON'S ORIGINS!
the im family has been in japan since the end of the second world war. her grandma and her grandma's grandma, and essentially all of her family are in japan.

growing up, im muki was a notably shy and quiet child who easily grew nervous when she was separated from her parents. this became a problem when she actually had to attend school. on her very first day, she spent the whole day crying. failing to make any new friends besides the teacher who just wanted her to stop crying. muki's track record with friends didn't get much better from there on out. she was too shy to say anything to her classmates and ended up being purposefully excluded by her peers.
JAPAN'S PRECIOUS LITTLE SISTER'S RISE TO FAME!
muki never really wanted to be an idol, it wasn't something she set out to do. instead, her mother signed her up for an aduition in middle school, at the age of 14, because she felt that it would help muki open up more and make friends. she forced muki to attend the audition and when it was her time to sing, she broke down in tears mid song. the company staff mistook it for her being incredibly moved by the song she was singing, it was a rather sad song after all, when it reality it was simply her being painfully shy.

she passed the audition and was like "" because there was really no way out of it at that point, muki went along with the idol route because she did actually want to make friends, but also because her mother wouldn't let her back out.
 
HOT IDOL KANZEON TALKS ABOUT IDOL LIFE!
READ IT HERE BEFORE ANYWHERE ELSE!
beyond her expectations, muki—now kanzeon—rose to a level of measureable fame. she was japan's it idol and she had barely entered high school. she had fan meets, cf offers, variety appearances, and a growing fanbase that soon seeped across the ocean to the usa. 

she got to shake hands with some of the largest japanese musicians, she recorded an anime theme. in the span of five years kanzeon had three mini albums, seven digital singles, and on full album. during her years active she went on three japan tours, one us tour, and one europe tour.

her mother had gotten what she wanted, her shy daughter muki was now more outgoing and swarmed with people who wanted to be friends with an idol. muki thought she had gotten what she wanted too, but soon realized that the only reason people wanted to hang out with her was so they could be friends with an idol. she was surrounded by people declaring their love for her, cheering her name, celebrating her birthday and writting her letters of encouragement and how much she changed their lives but she never felt so alone. she met a guy named inseok, who told her she was fine no matter who she was. she loved him.

muki was trapped in kanzeon's shadow, withering in the darkness and threatening to vanish. the girl kanzeon once knew was crumbling like a distant memory. muki was crying out from someplace deep inside, "i'm here too! im muki is her too!". but what really did it for kanzeon was when she looked at muki in the mirror one day and couldn't even recognize her, couldn't even recognize herself.
IDOL SENSATION KANZEON ON HIATUS FOR HEALTH REASONS!
she knew she didn't want to continue on like that, after much arguing with her manager, kanzeon convinced him and her company to let her go on hiatus for "health reasons". after four long years in show business, kanzeon was free. she didn't know what to do with herself, there was a big hole in her heart, a sinking feeling of guilt at the loyal fans who wished her well and hoped for a swift recovery. while she was staying with her parents, her manager would come by freqeuntly to try and convince her tthat she was making a mistake.

it was inseok who suggested she come to korea, so they could elope like she promised. her parents supported her, granted she left out the whole marriage thing, and she began studying korean. when she was twenty years old, she finally flew over there. she and inseok didn't get married, it honestly slipped her mind in the midst of flight and living and education preparations.

and after a year of comfortably living with inseok in their little apartment, kanzeon's manager appeared one last time to try and get her back. she refused, and he told her that he'd have a hard time finding someone with as much natural talent as she had. it made her realize that she had thrown her career away and that she did love music, but it also encouraged her to audition for the band inseok told her about.
 Relationships
icon ; 70x70
jung inseok ( boyfriend ) · 21 / male / freelance artist / best husubando.
to sum jung inseok up in as few terms as possible, he's the stoic team dad with a bizzare sense of humor. one to go with the flow, jung inseok is incredibly indifferent to the world around him. incredibly deadpan, he's comically serious to the point of not batting an eye when girls drape themselves all over him. suprirsingly friendly and easy to talk to, inseok will lend an ear to anyone who is willing to speak, leading to people falling in love with him because he showed them on ounce of affection. he enjoys rainy days and cats. 

the two met in high school when they were both second years. inseok was a foreign exchange student from korea who had spent a majority of his schooling studying japanese. he was incredibly excited to find out an incredibly cute idol was his classmate and when he told his host family, owners of a modest tofu shop, they suggested he give her tofu because she probbaly couldn't eat much meat. she was grateful for the tofu, are you a fan? "actually, no. i've never heard your music before.". they became friends, and before kanzeon went off to prepare for a comeback and before inseok had to return to korea, they spent a night out after curfew. "you seem sad." i was just thinking. a lot of people want to be around me because i'm an idol. they like kanzeon more than they like muki, i guess it's the same for you, huh? "i think you're fine whether you're muki or kanzeon." ...hey, when we graduate, let's elope together. "only if you're serious.".

one thing that people wonder when they meet kanzeon's boyfriend is how he manages to keep up with her. a stoic, seemingly distant, pragmatic who doesn't say much of anything paired up with a touchy, jealous, bubbly idol? when the two are out and about, it's always kanzeon leading him by the hand as he nods and obediently follows along. he bends to almost every desire she has, all she has to do is say the word. "i want my boy toy to hold my hand!" "hora, kiss me!!" "walk by my side, c'mon!". there is a lot of pda between the two, almost always initiated by kanzeon. kanzeon wants to please him, to make him feel as happy as possible because he's so special to her. he's the type of guy to always know exactly what to say and exactly how to support people in his own distant way. kanzeon holds so much respect and admiration for him simply because he accepts both kanzeon and muki and because he's guided her through many identity crises and has been by her side no matter what she threw at him.

their days begin with rushing and ducking around each other and into the bathroom and bedroom and kitchen cupboards, because kanzeon won't let inseok leave the bed to get ready until she's had enough morning affection which usually causes them both to barely make it to their respective places on time. sometimes they dance around in their kitchen in their undies. or they get ready for a night out, standing shoulder to shoulder as their style their hair and put on makeup, knocking elbows and hips as they fight for more mirror space. or if inseok is insistant on staying in, then they curl up on the couch, feet tucked under thighs and arms around shoulders, watching all sorts of weird and cheaply produced movies. they always end their day in bed together, kanzeon the big spoon to inseok's little spoon, her holding his slim waist as he reads.

kanzeon being high key jealous as hell and with inseok being incredibly impartial with his time and attention, there is often friction between them, especially in regards to inseok hanging out with his female friends. the one stance he never bends on is his friends. if he made plans to hang out with his friends of the opposite gender and then kanzeon tells him she wants to go out, he will reject her which drives her mad even though he's justified. but she's his girlfriend so she should come first in her mind, the two can't even talk about the issue normally because kanzeon pouts and sulks and whines and inseok simply tells her to calm down before going.

and that's simply the way things go. kanzeon pouts and whines, inseok tells her to calm down before heading off, and then he comes home and assures her that it's not because she's a gemini, and then he makes some tea and they watch goofy movies until kanzeon falls alseep in his arms. but then he skips out on valentine's day and she can't help but suspect that something's going on.

song hana ( platonic girlfriend / best friend ) · 21 / female / japanese major & dog walker / a gemini.
hana and kanzeon have been classmates since kindergarden, but they were never exposed to one another until their third year of middle school, in which muki was now kanzeon and hana was convinced that she was a fake . the two aren't sure when they stopped hating each other, prolonged exposure to one another just brought them together, they suppose.

also being a gemini, hana tends to leave bad first impressions. with her resting face and quiet surface, a lot of people just think she's rude and don't care to look a little deeper and peer into all of her... "hanamosity". they're both outspoken, bawdy, and dramatic but hana is the more "out there" one.

hana loves kanzeon with all her heart. like, the two do almost everything together. hana's always whining for kanzeon to feed her and will use aegyo to get whatever she wants. "muki!! but this for me!!" noooo hana!! and after hana says bbuing bbuing, she walks out of the store with a big of chips, two new cds, and a new phone charger. the two have been through a lot together, and hana has always been someone kanzeon can rely on. when kanzeon was too afraid to make the move to korea by herself, hana swore she'd tag along.

bang hyunjin ( songwriter & pd-nim ) · 24 / male / photographer / grumpy grump.
grumpy & a stick in the mud. she tries to turn up the charm, he shuts her down mercilessly. she wants to play, he shuts her down mercilessly. basically, hyunjin can never let kanzeon live and probably takes great joy in bursting her bubble all the time. as a producer, he respects her, or at least she thinks he does. kanzeon does indeed know what she's doing when it comes to music videos and photoshoots and tv appearances, she's the member that needs the least guidance.

plus, she's kinda photogenic and he kinda almost enjoys taking pictures of her.
icon ; 70x70
song jiyeon ( manager ) · 23 / female / manager / kanzeon's savior & mom away from home.
kanzeon appreciates jiyeon from a business perspective. she's a very good manager, very efficient and ecouraging without being too cruel, plus she can almost work a room as well as kanzeon can. as a person, kanzeon thinks jiyeon is nice and lovely, like spring flowers. jiyeon watches out for kanzeon, stopping her shamelessness from tarnishing her reputation or from keeping her from flirting too much with someone.

describe appearance here.

a highly expressive face, showcasing her mood of the moment. graced with small and centered features, her face is almost doll-like. restless eyes that take in everything at once, high forehead, full lips, pale skin, and a symmetrical face. glowing skin, rosy cheeks, and long lashes capitvate the hearts of many.

kanzeon's hair has been a honey-ginger shade of blonde for the past three years. she made the mistake of chopping it all off when she arrived in korea, so she wears extensions that reach down past her chest to compensate for how much she misses her hair. her full bangs are wispy and stylish, framing her face in a flattering way.

she has a very idol-esque figure because she's been on wild idol diets for like four years. she's very slim and petite with small shoulders. the skin that covers her tummy is smooth and flat, hipbones jutting out ever so slightly. her golden measurements are b35", w21", h33". she stands at 158 cm and weighs 43 kg.

describe style here. both on stage and off stage.

off stage, kanzeon very much likes the cute look, the looks that give off "girl-next-door" and "everyone's girlfriend" vibes. she loves wearing skirts, be they pleated minis or lace minis, and she loves wearing cozy tops like oversized sweaters of all varieties. she also loves sukajan jackets and owns way more than she'd like to admit, she'll throw one over a simple white top and white skirt combot to spice things up a bit. her favorite outfit in the world is her brown turtleneck and lace a-line shirt because it makes her feel like rilakkuma. and she has an obsession with loafers that she'll never get over.

on stage, the bubblegum idol seems to get a 180° style makeover. cropped top that are actually closer to bralettes, those american apparel disco shorts that leave her part of her cheeks hanging out with black thigh highs. or else she'll wear some of her boyfriend's vintage japanese metal tees and high waisted disco pants, skin tight and that cling to her curves. she still wears her sukajans because no one could ever take those away from her, plus hyunjin and jiyeon think they're pretty cool.

KANZEON'S PROFILE! READ HERE!
a glimpse of her musical talents and experience.
kanzeon became an idol at the age of 14 which is when she began singing professionally. however she had been recieving vocal lessons since the age of 10. she also recieved piano lessons from ages 4-12. her piano skills are rusty since she hasn't played in years.

she wanted to learn to play the bass because she thought it sounded cool and because it was like the heartbeat of a song. it anchors the harmonic framework by emphasising the roots of chord progression and helps lay down the beat like the drums do. her former manager taught her how to play over the course of three years. when joining nascent, she went for the bass position isntead of a vocal position because she wants to be "the heartbeat" of the performance.

her vocal range is eb3-e6, 3 octaves and 1 semitone. her vocal type is light lyric soprano. 

she taught herself how to read music from a young age using food names. fourth note was 'bean', eight not was 'taco', and sixteenth note was 'enchilada'. even to this day, she'll read sheet music and mumble the words to herself.

besides musical skills, kanzeon is also adept in acting. one of her goals was to play the role of usagi tsukino in one of the sailor moon musicals.

SHOCKING! KANZEON EXPOSED! WATCH AS SHE BARES IT ALL!
exploring the kanzeon-muki dichotomy.
though incredibly confident in her appearance, kanzeon's biggest insecurity is her individuality. she fears that she has no true self due to her former career always forcing her to put on a mask. even now that she is no longer an idol, she has a hard time with the idea of the "real her". 

though generally a bubby and cute person, she plays up those traits to keep everyone in high spirits. it's also her subconscious way of making sure people like her because people liked the bubbly & cute kanzeon instead of the quiet & awkward muki and unlearning that habit is something she still genuinely struggles with.

"kanzeon" was constructed as an attempt to make friends due to muki's past as a bully magnet and as a reesult of kanzeon's popularity, muki feels as if no one will like the real her. she doesn't even know who the real her is. she feels hollow because she struggles to realize that all "constructed" personas are actually authentic facets of her real personality.

she has a staggering need for social acceptance and retired from idol life once she realized that people accepted kanzeon more than muki. her desire for acceptance is so strong that she developed hero worship for her boyfriend simply because he said he still likes her even if she doesn't know who she is.

when trying to explain the dichotomy to others, because most people who know her can't tell if there is a difference between kanzeon and muki and most think it's silly to even suggest that the two are different, she describes it as "the me who is not me but has become me and the me who is me but has not become me" which does little besides confusing everyone.

she tends to put on her kanzeon mask when meeting new people, or around people she isn't very familiar with. kanzeon speaks much more politely, using typically polite phrases like "being compared to such a senior makes me feel very proud". on top of that, she uses her social perception to say what people want her to say and is notably less outspoken. in a way, kanzeon is like a chamelion because of how she bends to be what everyone wants her to be. muki, on the other hand, speaks much more casually—and even in a masculine manner when she speaks in japanese. she's much more blunt when she doesn't feel the need to make people like her. muki is also the hyper one, the one who flirts with everything, the one who sleeps with like 50 stuffed animals and throws tantrums. the whole dichotomy sometimes makes her feel like part of her is missing.


after being pestered by her manager for about a year after she quit showbusiness, she told him once and for all that she wouldn't go back to being an idol. he was disappointed and told her that he'd probably never find anyone as naturally talented as her. muki realizes that her talent and success is because of her and not kanzeon and even worse, she realizes that she just threw away her career and is devastated. on the plus side, it encourages her to join nascent because she loves the limelight and her fans.

CAN YOU BEAT THE KANZEON MEGA FAN TRIVIA QUIZ? KEEP READING TO FIND OUT!
odds and ends about everyone's favorite idol girlfriend.
when she cries, be they real or fake tears, she sheilds her face before burying it in someone's chest. when she's actually crying it's because she doesn't want people to see her face all red and swollen, but she isn't crying it's because it can better conceal the fact that she's not crying.

says "seriously" far too much. not even seriously as in "what, seriously??" but seriously as in "seriously cool!". she also has a tendency to understate things, describing something as oof the wall unbelievable as "seriously wild!" or articulating incredibly heavy emotions as "seriously sad". 

always uses kaomojis, is the kaomoji queen. when she's typing, she always uses double punctuation with the exception of periods and commas.

when she's lost in thought, either having an existential crisis or just pouting, she'll mindlessly pluck at the strings of her bass. to her, the way her fingertips feel against the strings and the vibrating noise it makes is really grounding, it helps her remind herself that she's here on earth and that she's complete. if her bass isn't around, she'll finger invisible strings and press a hand to her thigh.

adheres to a very strict bedtime and gets very grumpy when she has to stay up past it. her bedtime is 10 pm.

blames everything bad that happens to her on the fact that she's a gemini.

in the band, she claims she's in charge of keeping spirits up and raising the average bust size.

she really, really loves avocado.

has a roomba that she loves with all her life. their name is roomba-san and whenever its doing rounds and cleaning she says "ganbatte roomba-san".

is a big fan of rpg games and dating sims, and loses her over rpgs with dating sim elements. she actually has a lot of gaming consoles and video games for her to play. kanzeon plays a lot of japanese games. her current favorites are valkyria chronicles remastered, fire emblem fates, and of course, the persona franchise.

considers herself to be more japanese than korean and if anyone asks, she expresses that she really loves japanese food and holidays and kimonos as opposed to korean ones. when she was an idol, she was actually a hot topic on korean fourms where she was criticized for being more proud to be japanese than korean, but then again is she really to blame for assimilating into her country's culture?

she still occasionally recieves gifts and fan letters from her japanese fans.

is more business savvy than most think. she enjoys buying and selling stocks and can easily visualize things like percentages.

when kanzeon gets drunk, she's a blissful drunk who laughs a lot and is just happy to be included. she talks about how much she loves everyone. then she starts sobbing because she loves everyone so much and she doesn't want them to leave her. she also enjoys leaving sobbing voicemail's on inseoks phone about how much she wants to have with him.

is a big fan of sports anime, especially free and haikyuu, although she'll always have a spot in her heart for prince of tennis. loves nishinoya yu from haikyuu.

POSITION. bassist
BACK UP POSITION. vocalist / keyboardist / groupie
 

HYUNJIN COUGHS INTO HIS HAND, "OKAAAY SO... HEY, UH KANZEON YEAH UH NICE TO MEET YOU. SO, HOW THE HELL DID YOU FIND OUT ABOUT THE AUDITION?"
"my boyfriend told me about it!" she proceeds to go on a long, fifteen minute tangent about how great and cool and supportive her boyfriend is.
 
"WOW THAT'S GREAT." HE DEADPANS, JIYEON ELBOWS HIM SHARPLY "OUCH! – JIYEON– OKAY OKAY. UH... OH, WHAT MADE YOU AUDITION?"
"well, after i left japan, i thought i'd be done with music forever." the tone of her words sounds generic, like any other idol being asked a question on television. "but then i realized that music is as big a part of me as anything else, so i decided to start fresh with a new instrument in order to let myself shine!"
 
"COOL. SO LIKE... CAN YOU EVEN PLAY AN INSTRUMENT? SING? WHAT CAN YOU OFFER THE BAND?" 
"i can sing, but i also play the bass! i've been practicing for three years because the sound of the bass guitar is just so... grounding. like i can be the me who is not me but has become me and the me who is me but has not become me." jiyeon turns to hyunjin, who looks at her in response. silence fills the room for a moment because what does that even mean?
 
"IS THAT ALL YOU CAN DO OR...? GOT ANY PARTY TRICKS OR SOMETHING, I DUNNO, ANY SPECIAL TALENTS?" 
kanzeon flashes the bitter man one of her far too rehearsed smiles, empahsis on the eyesmile. "check my online profile for all the cool things i can do!" she pauses, tapping a finger against her chin. "but wait, my profile's all in japanese... oh well. my specialties include kkab dancing, hand fart songs, selling anything like the ladies on the home shopping network, three verse poems, and kaomoji impressions!!" she list them off in rapid succession, obviously having been asked the question before.
 
"HAVE ANY DREAMS FOR YOURSELF AND THE BAND? GOT A GOAL MAYBE?" 
this is the answer where she hesitates, stumbles over her words, flips her smile to a frown and then back again. "i just... wanna find myself while doing something i love. i really love performing and i just want to perform while being comfortable with who i am."
 
"ALRIGHT, THAT SHOULD BE ALL–" "HYUNJIN, I HAVEN'T EVEN ASKED ANYTHING YET." "BUT YOU'RE JUST–" "SO, WHAT IS MUSIC TO YOU? WHAT KIND DO YOU LIKE?" SHE QUESTIONS, HAND OVER HYUNJIN'S MOUTH TO PREVENT HIM FROM PROTESTING. 
"to me, music is the means in which i can be myself." she nods, mostly to herself. it's a simple answer, a little abstract to hyunjin, but at least it's an answer.
 
"THAT'S COOL THAT'S COOL. SO, HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU HAPPEN TO EARN RIGHT NOW? ARE YOU EVEN WORKIN–" "JIYEON. YOU CAN'T JUST ASK PEOPLE THAT." "BUT I NEED TO–" HE GRABS JIYEON'S HAND AND MUTTERS A QUICK, "IF YOU'LL EXCUSE US FOR A MOMENT." BEFORE DRAGGING HER OUT. 
as she observes them, she's struck by the lack of professionalism they display. not so much struck as in an 'oh my, these people exist' way but struck in a 'this better not be a sleazy gig' way. she's almost nervous, but if the band goes to , she'll just quit. "i make money from revenue. royalities from my music and... cf appearances and merchandise. i don't have a job currently, but that's where i get my money from. i also like to invest in stocks and stuff too, kinda weird, i know."
 
"OKAY WE'RE BACK, JIYEON WILL TRY ASKING A MORE... SUBSTANTIAL QUESTION NOW." "YEAH! OKAY, WHAT GOT YOU INTO MUSIC?" "WHAT WILL YOU EVEN DO WITH THIS INFO." "SHHH I'M ASKING THEM NOT YOU." 
she's hesitant to speak. how much should she reveal? they could always do a background check on her, and maybe they already did but still, how can she just casually say 'hey i used to be an idol back in japan and i had a four year career' but she pretty much already did that. "i guess my mom got me into music?" she spoke,"she wanted me to be more outgoing and confident so she had me sing and stuff."
 
"AND THAT'S IT, SEE YOU IF WE DECIDE TO CALL YOU BACK." "HYUNJIN DON'T BE RUDE." "WHAT, IT'S TRUE? ANYWAY, WE'LL EITHER GET BACK TO YOU SOON OR NEVER." "FOR CHRIST'S SAKE HYUNJIN."
she shoots finger guns at them, a bubbly 'bang bang' falling from her lips. she winks at them, hoping her charms win them over.

COMMENTS. halfway through i felt like all this psychological stuff about how she doesnt know who she really is was a bit extra, but it's always good to have an understanding of the inner workings of a character's mind, right??  pls don't hurt me pacy snepai.

also can you find all the persona 4 references in here? i'll tell u one besides the obvious : kanzeon is a shoutout to rise kujikawa's persona of the same name

QUESTIONS. do u love me? bc i love u.
SUGGESTIONS. idek man its a miracle i finished this
SCENE REQUESTS. cute domestic stuff with kanze x inseok like, its their first stage and she doesn't know what to wear so they go through his t-shirt collection together. or the band's practicing and he drops by to give her food and love. and like, he shows up to their concerts just to watch her and she looks so different from usual and he's just like "o .... when did my gf get this hot??"

but if u wanna hook kanze up with another member, u can totally break them up ( which is why i mentioned the mysterious missed v-day date. is he cheating? is he just busy? its up to you my dude )


PASSWORD. jk there isnt one
