appearance – Shin Minhyuk is inarguably gorgeous. Not exactly in that squeecky clean kpop visual kind of way, but in this grittier on legs kind of way. Shin Minhyuk is the walking embodyment of appeal, and he knows it. He knows he's hot and he loves every bit of it, to the point where you can wonder if he's hot because he believes or, or if he believes he's hot because he is. Chicken or the egg, nobody knows. Even if you'd put the guy in a harmless sweater with soft makeup for a wholesome photoshoot he's still the one who stands out for being rude af. Honestly he could wear a tiger onesy and still look y, it's not what he's wearing it's intrinsically and fundamentally him

Minhyuk is great, absolutely fantastic. Or at least that's what Minhyuk thinks of himself. You can rest assured that Shin Minhyuk does not have any insecurity problems, if anything he has over-security problems. Quite frankly the guy is probably in love with himself. He loves talking about himself and he loves people fawning over him. An attention through and through, Minhyuk lives for the fame, the fans, the stage, all of it. The more people praise his name the happier he will be. He knows he's hot, knows he's gorgeous, and is more than willing to body roll on stage to remind everyone of it. Minhyuk lives and breathes appeal. And it doesn't help that he's really flirty. It's a part of loving that attention, Minhyuk flirts with basically everything that moves. Women? Hell yes. Men? If the fancy strikes him why not?

He can be nightmare to work with, honestly. Minhyuk doesn't like hard work, at least not when it doesn't interest him. Give him a y song and hell yeah he is here 100%. Give him an aegyo song or any other work activity that doesn't immadiately grab him and you'll lose him fast. He'll start getting bored, and when Minhyuk is bored he makes trouble. Rebellious in nature, Minhyuk isn't the best when it comes to authority and tends to just do whatever he wants to do, and that often means slacking off, sneaking off to have fun or get drinks with his friends, or just plain causing trouble wherever he goes. The thing is Minhyuk has never truly gotten into for his troublemaking. Most of the time he's let off the hook because he's handsome, or because he'd pinned it on someone else, or simply because he didn't care anough for a lecture to hit home. Minhyuk hasn't had a taste of true consequences of his actions so he just does whatever he fancies.

Minhyuk and being serious just generally don't go together. On the one hand, when he's not actually inviting the wrath of everyone involved he keeps the mood light. Always ready with a quip or a joke when things get tense, Minhyuk's carefree nature does come in handy. Unfortunately half the time the quips and jokes help alleviate tension, and half the time they just make things worse. 

On the positive side, he's ever the social butterfly. Minhyuk loves meeting new people and chatting (especially about himself) and making acquaintainces everywhere. Now they don't usually grow past just being acquaintainces, Minhyuk is not so good at making actual friends, but he loves the meeting and chatting part.  His natural wit also helps with that, he's very good at making quick jokes and lightening the mood in a heartbeat. He can also be really nosy, always curious about what's going on in people's lives and ever ready to meddle. Especially when it's unwanted. He means well, most of the time, just trying to help in his own flippant way, but the end result is usually not positive. But he doesn't care, he's easy going to a fault, he just coasts from day to day and doesn't really concern himself with things like responsibilities.

When Minhyuk does manage to put effort into something the result is usually fantastic. He's very creative and can think of great ideas. The problem is actually getting him to apply that creativity to something. If one manages to motivate Minhyuk, amazing things happen, just good luck getting there. 
 

background – Growing up Minhyuk had it easy. His family is fairly well off, in the upper middle class, and he had a cushy life before starting his training. He started dancing when he was young because it seemed cool at the time. Jazz dance was always his style of choice, he's been dancing jazz since he was 7 years old, with some contemporary on the side. He loves how smooth and fluid it is, and when he got older he loved how y it could be too. To the dismay of his parents, Minhyuk always knew that things like university and regular jobs weren't for him. He was made for the stage, was everyone else blind that they couldn't see that? 

Minhyuk had a bit of a scandalous teenage life. Instead of studying, Minhyuk snuck out of the house a lot to go to clubs with his friends and yes underage drinking. He was also involved in the less savory group of friends in high school, he was kind of a bully honestly. Not so much actively, but he just went along with what his friends were doing. Bully by accomplice, if you will. Then when he was 16 he dropped out of high school to pursue dancing. His parents were livid when they heard. There was already a lot of tension between them due to the whole not studying and being a bit of a delinquent thing, but they absolutely had it when he announced he was dropping out and basically disowned him and kicked him out of the house. Minhyuk didn't mind, he was going to Seoul anyway. Screw sleepu Busan, he wasn't going to find his fame there!

So Minhyuk went to Seoul with the meager money he had and stayed at hostels while he worked 3 menial jobs, and later moved into a dingy tiny apartment shared with 3 other guys while he tried to get a break with dancing. After a year of this Minhyuk managed to get a job as a backup dancer in a freelance crew. Finally he could support himself doing what he loved and kickstart his career in dancing! But unfortunately there was a problem. While Minhyuk was a formidable dancer, he had, and still has, the habit of pulling attention toward him. He's just got so much stage presence that it's really hard for him to blend into the background, which is exactly what backup dancers should be doing. He actually ended up overshadowing the idols sometimes, even if they dressed him in the most boring attire he still popped. 

When, after a few months of working as a backup dancer, one of the idols actually filed a complaint, Minhyuk got fired. Fortunately for him there'd been an employee of New World backstage at the time who'd recognized Minhyuk's potential. She invited him for an audition and, freshly fired and have no better prospects, Minhyuk accepted. He audition and got signed as a trainee and 3 years later here he is.

habits – 
- he has a strict morning routine consisting of taking a shower, putting his face on, and doing his hair.
- checking himself out in every reflective surface.
- always gives fanservice whenever there's fans. prepare for winks, hearts, and anything else to get their attention.
 
trivia –
- the manager and/or leader has told him numerous times to stop flirting with female idols in case fans get the wrong idea but does he listen? Of course not.
- he's biual  though he's smart enough not to go shouting that across the rooftops.  
- with his contemporary and jazz dance background the boy moves like water, he's so fluid. Even when he walks there's a grace to it.
- he's a morning person in the most chipper and annoying way. it's like nothing ever gets this guy down, not even fatigue. 
- lost sight of where Minhyuk? he's probably either casually flirting with someone, socializing, or chilling somewhere with his guitar just jamming out tunes.
- he would probably be able to compose songs if he ever wrote them down, but when he jams he just makes something up and then forgets it again after.
- he doesn't like wearing face masks when going around outside of schedules. if he wears a mask, how will the fans know it's him? 
- he can also play piano but he's not as good at is as he is at playing guitar, mostly because he doesn't like it much so he's not invested.
- can drive but should absolutely not be trusted behind a wheel. speeds like there's a pregnant woman giving birth in the car.

- he has never dated, but he's been with multiple girls in this life, before he started idol training.
- has experience as a waitor, barman, and barista, the jobs he had when he first arrived in Seoul, but he'd be damned if anyone found out.
- he doesn't bring up the time he spent dirt poor working three jobs. whenever he talks about his life before being a trainee he always makes it seem like he got the dancing job right after he moved to Seoul. he's really embarrassed about that interim year.
- generally doesn't talk about his family ever. when others are thanking their family for an award or something like it, he'll just stay quiet on the side and for once blend into the background just a little. of course if it's pointed out he'll laugh it off like it's no big deal but it is. being disowned really did hurt him.

No comment. Minhyuk has zero interest in reconnecting with his parents. He's pissed that they'd just push him aside like that and leave him without any kind of safety net when he took a route in his life that they didn't approve of. He basically blames him for that year he spent in poverty overworked and feeling like . Minhyuk didn't leave them any means of getting into contact with him, and unbeknownst to him they did try to find him. They might try to reach out to him once they get more famous and they get word of it, but Minhyuk would not be receptible to this.
 
friends – 
- drinking buddy / Kwon Taekwang (OC) / 22 / backup dancer / Taekwang is one of the first acquaintainces that Minhyuk made with his dance crew. They're both fans of partying and drinking and having a grand old time, and Taekwang generally brings out the worst in Minhyuk. Taekwang is usually responsible for coercing Minhyuk to sneak out of the dorm or away and go have some fun where they invariably get wasted.
 
 
 STARLIGHT HIDDEN IN THE DARKNESS !
 
stage name – Minhyuk. Yes he's the 4th Minhyuk in the industry under that name (and 6th overall) but he is Shin Minhyuk and he will not be known by any other name.
position – vocalist, dancer
fanclub name & color – Shinners and   deep red  ("because red is y and my fans are all sinners.")
talent twin(s) – 
Rap: link
Vocal: Jooyoung
Dance: MONSTA X Wonho (he's got the red snapback) (very important bonus that should show you all you need to know)
 
 
trainee years – 3 years 
trainee life – Trainee life was very different to anything else. It was so rigidly structured and really hard work, two things that do not come naturally to Shiin Minhyuk. Indeed he did get into trouble quite a bit for skipping lessons and going out drinking with his dancing buddies, but he also thrived when it came to vocal classes and didn't need much in terms of dancing classes. They found out that Minhyuk has a very nice warm voice naturally. It's not the most powerful or the most well trained in terms of technique, but it's very pleasant to listen to. Minhyuk got along with some of the trainees and not with others. Basically as long as nobody tries to control him and order him around and doesn't get too irritated at, well, his everything, then Minhyuk can get along with them just fine. No deep friendships were formed but Shin Minhyuk has never made a deep friendship with anyone so that was normal. He's still a bit surprised they put him in the group, he knows that he's been a handful and has gotten into a lot of trouble before. He supposes that they find him less trouble than he's worth and he's okay with that.
 
predebut experiences – He was a backup dancer for most of 2013. Among others, he dancer for Troublemaker, Sistar, and Lee Hyori.

post-debut plans– Minhyuk would definitely want to go solo. Absolutely all of the attention on him? Sign him up! But I can see the company being reluctant to give him a solo since he's not exactly reliable on a best day, would you really trust someone like Minhyuk to do a good job alone? He could def be in a sub unit, but I don't think he'd be trusted to go solo, not without some character development at least.
 

scandals –
- Before or when they'd just debuted there'd probably be a bit of a scandal as people find out he used to be a party boy and dropped out of high school.
 
- Maybe give him a partying scandal where he got caught sneaking out of the dorm to go to a club and gets really drunk. You could also have him get into for drunk driving. I'm leaving this to your discretion, I'm sure you know what you're doing with the story better than I do!

- If you really want to get him into deep trouble you can give him a drunk driving scandal.
 
    
 I'LL BRING YOU TO MY SIDE !
 
love interest – None, unless there's a perfect opportunity with a group mate. I trust your writing skills.
backup love interest – lorem ipsum
 
personality – if you're listing traits only, then min is 5 positives, 5 negatives; min. 2 paragraphs.

background – small background/bio

relationship – when you started/how you end
 
 THE DAWN HAS COME !
 
comments – I hope you like, he's a biiit of a handful haha, but at least he'd liven things up?
scene request(s) –
- Minhyuk getting into deep and actually facing consequences to his actions that he cares about. Make him learn that the world doesn't revolve around him and he can't just do whatever he wants.

 
suggestion(s) – Possible collab songs for Her and His might be: You and Me, Erase, 야 하고 싶어Melted, Knock, Beautiful Day, Dream, And July, Going Crazy
