I am who I am

PERSONALITY TRAITS:
Confident, Joyful, Charismatic, Humorous, Persistence, Vehement
Impulsive, Vulnerable, Gullible, Stubborn/Perfectionist, Indescisive
PERSONALITY:

Confident - With being the bundle of joy that he is, he's pretty confident about himself. As you may notice, he isn't going to be the visual of the group if he makes it into the final line-up. Even his friends joke around that he's not handsome and probably won't make it into the group because of that. Sure, he gets annoyed with it sometimes, but he thinks a bit differently about their comments. He takes their negative comments and turns it into something positive. Like, "Yeah, I'm not handsome, but at least I have clarification that I made it for my talent."

Joyful - Well for starters, Geomi can safely say that he's like a vitamin towards the other competitors. Because he's been raised in a joyful places because he has always been a very joyful child since birth and can be described as, "the life of the party" which he gladly takes the title. Geomi thinks that if you're not smiling, you're obviously doing it wrong. Some people may think that he's a bit y'know "unstable" because he's always smiling, but what can you do? He thinks life's great, why not smile about it?

Charismatic - When he "Hits The Stage" you may ignore him and focus on the more handsome guys, but sooner or later, you're eyes slowly starts to wander to where he's standing. You can't explain what compells you into him, but there's something that makes him seem eye catching. You can just see the fire in his eyes, that just screams "I came here and I'm slaying the stage". He just has that fire inside of him that you can really see at first, but once that boy opens up his mouth, you just start to notice him and he might probably become your bias wrecker.

Humorous - The guys not the light of the party for nothing. Because Geomi has some wit that never fails to make someone laugh. He doesn't like an awkward atomsphere where you can just sense the tension in the room. So he just voluantrily becomes the moodmaker in the group, that makes the other guys comfortable and feel like, "yeah, we're not a team and this is a competition, but we can atleast enjoy with each other."

Persistence - With being put down a lot, considering his looks that make others disbelive in his dream of becoming a singer, he has to build himself up. He knows that he has no right to say that he's handsome as Lee Minho or Kim Woobin, but he can admit that he's handsome as the one and only Jang Geomi, because there's only one.  So, he continues on that he's not handsome and that won't lessen his talent skills. That's what makes Geomi go on with his dream.

Vehement - Yeah, Geomi does describe himself as the happy-go-lucky guy out of the guys, but once you hand him a mic. He goes all out, and means business. Many are pretty suprised when they see Geomi practice singing for the first time, because that's the only time they see the serious side of Geomi. To Geomi, music is his escape from the taunts and the road gets rough. Music doesn't judge him, and he's very greatfu for that, and treats it like it was his own child. (If that makes sense)

Impulsive - Sometimes with his wittiness, he can say some things that can offend people by accident. Because he had always said that he doesn't even know half of the things that come out of his mouth. He doesn't have much self control, when it comes to his action, so he always have to think if it's the right time to say this, but ultimatley he fails and goes a long and says it. So it would be great if someone monitors him.

Vulnerable - Despite Geomi being confident about his talents and on the lines of his looks aswell, but not everyone can be happy and confident 24/7 (but if there are people like that, then a round of applause from me). Sometimes the comments comes to him so often, it's hard to not forget them and sometimes it's all that he can think about. There has been one time where he considered going under the knife, so he would become "handsome". It was a really a vulnerable time at that point. He pulled himself out of the gutter, and made the decision to be happy. He tries his best not to go back to the dark place.

Gullible - He's a a naive little guy. Ever since he was young, it was pretty easy to make him believe in something, which is the biggest downfall about him. His parents even said themselves that it was hard to not tell Geomi that Santa isn't real. He also has a pretty sketchy childhood, because he had trust people to easily, which bit him the the later. The boy should have someone to tell him what's actually true and what's not.

Stubborn/Perfectionist - Like a little kid, he's pretty stubborn. But his stubborness comes out when he's pratctsing. Because of his vehement attitude, when he doesn't think that he's not up to par, he practcies untl he thinks he got it down. And his process takes hours and some other boys do tell him to stop, or else his vocal chords would be strained. But he would always tell them, "just a bit more. I almost got this down." which will take another hour.

Indescisive - It takes time for Geomi to make a decision on his own. Because the question "Maybe if" follows him around a lot and always wonders the possibilities if he had done something different. Which always contridicts his decision making because he wants to make the right move.

BACKGROUND: 

Give Love : Jang Geomi was born in Seoul, South Korea, but when he was 3 years old his family and him moved to Canada, for his dad's job tranfer. While growing, he was the only child, but his parents taught him from the young age of 4 that he will always make friends if he just continues to smile. Also, his love for music started when he was young because his parents would always play Korean songs throughout the house to feel in the silence. So in his neighbourhood, you would just see him walking down the streets, smiling at the people who passed by. Also, almost had a few mishaps when he walked away with strangers a few times, (thank goodness his mom's mom senses kicked up and caught him).

Oh, Canada~ - Geomi didn't have any problems with living in Canada. Because he loved pancakes with maple syrup and his french fries with gravy and cheese curds. Because he started school when he was really young, and as kids (in my opinion) they didn't see any color and accpeted despite his race. So, he made a lot of friends and among his friends in class, he was labeled, "The Class Clown". He loved living in the land of the true North Strong and Free. (Credits: "Oh, Canada" Canada's National Anthem). Also when Gangnam Style became a thing, and his friends were trying to dance a long with it, he be like, "Just stop. Let me show you how you actually do it."

Come Back Home - Unfortunatley, Geomi had to pack up his parkas and tuques and move back home to South Korea when he was 16. Of course he was going to miss his friends, but what you do, right? He was pretty excited and curious at the same time of going to another scool and in another country. Because he was still an infant when he was born, he had no real memories of when he lived there. But he was lucky enough that his parents lived there for decades, and in the last couple of months living there in Canada, his parents taught him enough Korean that he could be comfortable speaking in school. Except for the swear words. (He'll learn them later in life).

Here I Am - Geomi was pretty excited about moving onto a new life in South Korea. Geomi was made fun of when he entered the class as a new kid, but luckily not all people are s, and made him feel actually welcomed. Geomi embraced as much as he was, but let's be honest he did have incidents where he wanted to change he was - appearence wise. But luckily, the friends he made, made him feel he was most handsome as he is. (No homo). He didn't have much friends as he did in Canada, but what he do? Not everyone likes him.

This is What Dreams Are Made Of - Geomi always sings whenever he was alone. With the excpetion that when he was little would have mini-concert in his living room that he would pretend be a stadium, with his audience being his collection stuffed animals singing made up songs, with made up words. But what made Geomi want to become a singer is singing Big Bang's MAMA performance in 2013. Because at his age (which was like 16) he thought he looked cool dancing onstage and singing and controlling the crowd. At that moment, he was like, "That's it. That's what I'm going to do."

Geomi told his classmates friends, that he was going to audition for YG and some other classemates who over heard him and opposed his dream and ust laughed at him. Because with a face like his, just being in front of the camera is his own concern. Because there are prettier and more handsome people than him just in auditions alone. It discouraged him, because he knows he's not that handsome as TOP, but what chanegd his mind is when one of his classmates said, "Yah! Shut up! Daesung's eyes has more shine in them than yours!"

#FriendshipGoals

Mix & Match - So with being one year of being a YG trainee. He improved his vocals, learned how to dance, but just make sure that he's not going to rap. That didn't end up well when he tried. Only with being a trainee for a year, he was one of the selected trainees to participate in Mix & Match as one of the new trainees. Honestly, the original guys thought it was weird because other trainees have been training for years, but he's one of the newer guys so why would he play with the big dogs?

But despite the tension between the boys and the new trainees, Geomi was one of the quickest to grow closer with the boys.

Also, when the first episode of Mix & Match aired, many neitizens were commenting on his looks. Because he was beside guys like Jung Jinhyung and Yang Hongseok, and there was him. Of course, his classmates got his nickname "Geomin" out there for the public now.

It caused Geomi to feel really insecure about himself and looks. During Mix & Match he really pushed himself to train harder to become a singer and prove that, "yeah, his looks didn't get him into the company, but his talent did." YG even complimented him on that.

But ultimatley, didn't even make iKon's final line-up. Later on, Jung Jinhyung and Yang Hongseok left the company and he was the only one that stayed from Mix & Match's eliminated contestants.

Geomi actually thought it was because of his looks he didn't make the final lineup. He even considered to go under the knife even YG recommended it. But then he remembered what his classmaes told him. If he actually accepted the offer it was like letting them win. Who wants their enemy to win? Ever? So he denied the offer and continued on keeping his head high - without YG.

He left the company due to comments online about his face and constant suggestions about plastic surgery.

I Won't Give Up - Now Geomi was basically free to be who he was. But he felt like it would've been better if hr had stayed. Since he was too busy with training in YG, he didn't attend the college entrance xams, and couldn't go to college. He was honestly suffering alone, but didn't want to tell anyone because he didn't want to make his emotions a big concern. So he would cry to himself, but when he had to present himself, he would've kept a smile on to make them think he's still the gummy smile, Geomi.

So, at that moment in his life he was in a slump.

But since he's a determined character he tried his best to get back up on his feet. He wanted his voice to be the one to get him noticed and not his looks. So what better way than singing contests?

Yup, may seem a bit out of the blue, but Jang Geomi entered at least 2 dozen singing contests. Majority of them were wins, but he was god with second prize too. He wasn't recognized that much anymore either after Mix & Match since most fans were awaiting iKon's debut, so he knew that his stint as a trainee didn't make him have a bit of attention because of that.
Then at his 22nd singing contest, he got approached by a man with a professional looking suit. He said that he was recruiting trainees for a new entertainment company. Of course, Geomi was a bit hesitant who am I kidding> Geomi was so happy by the news, because this was his second chance to prove to himself that his voice is what's gonna get him places,, and this was just one of them.

He took the card, and followed the address, auditioned, and a week later he got accepted. JYP has heard the name of Jang Geomi before, and it was like he got a free item. Because he had watched Mix & Match and noticed the Geomi was a talented vocalist and he was under their care now

Deja Vu - When he entered the company, some of the other trainees recognized him as Jang Geomi from Mix & Match. They thought he was going to be more serious, but to their suprise Geomi is that bubbly and energetic in real life and not just for TV.

Geomi knew the trainee life, but during his trainee period it was a bit different, because majority of the trainees recognized him from Mix & Match. They thought that was the reason he got in, but they were wrong once they heard Geomi singing live at practice.

As someone who had previous traning before, Geomi was the comic relief of the trainees who made the boys laugh when the road of training got a bit rough for them.

TRIVIA:

LIKES

╳ → 2NE1 → It is safe to say that Geomi is loud and proud BlackJack. Because ever since he heard "Ugly" on the radio one day, he thinks that they helped Geomi out of that dark place. If he ever gets to meet him, just expect Geomi getting winded in the matter of 3 seconds. Also, Park Bom is his ultimate bias
╳ → Poutine → Majority of his life, he was raised in Canada. So, you have to expect that Geomi fell in love with the bowl of golden fries, with the overflowing amount of gravy, and the ooey-gooey cheese curds. That's his life, and he would marry it
╳ → iKon → Despite not getting into the final line-up, he has to admit that their music is pretty good, and the other (then) members gave it all they got and deserve their rightful place as the members of iKon
╳ → Park Bom → He is not afraid to admit that he is Park Bom trash. He's so trashy the whole junkyard represent how disgusting, yet how big his trashinees for Park Bom. Park Bom is his ideal type because, well like their songs, he body is second to on one, and she has a voice that doesn't get appreciated enough. Plus, you got to admit she has a pretty cute smile
╳ → Girl Groups → He's a guy - going on man. I mean, he's been through puberty and the only way to describe this "like" is just referencing the lyrics of BTS "War of Hormones"
╳ → YG & JYP→ Even despite their differences, both of them contributed a lot to who Geomi is today. YG gave him the confidence of his talent and it didn't has his appearence involved at all when he got accepted at the audition. JYP gave him a second chance, hope and motivation to train more hard to debut on the stage faster. However Geomi is abit salty because they both gave him the opportunity to come out on a survival show
╳ → Ballads, Rock and Korean Folk Songs → It may sound like peculiar playlists, but that's whats on his music playlist. Typically, not a basic YG trainee representee, but he has his own color. Ballads because his mom usually played it through the house in the mornings, his dad played rock music in the afternoon, when he comes back from work, and Korean Folk Songs in the evening. (Fun Fact: When Geomi was a little kid and had trouble sleeping, his parents would play Korean folk songs to help him sleep)
╳ → Smiling → We all saw this coming sooner or later. Sure, when he may been called the "Neighbourhood Idiot" because he kept smiling even if someone was getting scolded or called out, but he smilied because it's just natural.
╳ → Daesung → Like with Park Bom, he's trash for Daesung. I mean, he even got called, "mini-Daesung" because they have similar personalities, and have the same smile. Also mainly the fact that they are not ranked high when it comes to outer appearence, but they can rank pretty high for their vocals. I mean, Daesung (I don't know if I'm right because I haven't rewatch Mix & Match yet and it's been long since the first time) stated in one episode, "Geomi-ah can pass as my little."
╳ → Working Out → There are very few pictures of him exposing his abs. Many people don't know about them, but the fact that not many people know about them, makes him feel a bit mischevious. Because the time will come when the guys will have to show their physique, and everyone will be surprised when they see Geomi's abs

DISLIKES

╳  Bullies → Of course, because of personal experiences Geomi has a strong disliking to bullies. He finds it ridiculous that people just pick on somebody else for no legit reason
╳  Winter → The boy grew up in Canada and you all know how that works out. Canadian winters are no joke.
╳  Math → Despite (and not to be racist) him being Asian, he is not that great at math. He hates numbers. He hates numbers with laters. He hates numbers with letters and symbols the most
╳  Cold Drinks → Geomi never cared about how he treated his voice, bu ever since he started to train under YG he has been more concious about what he puts on his throat and since cold drinks is a no-no. (Fact: Ever since he started training under YG, Geomi hadn't had a cold drink in 3 years
╳ Plastic Surgery → Geomi has to admit that he did consider going under plastic surgery to make his appearence appealing to audiences. But what changed his mind is thinking that if he did change his appearence, than he would know that people would just like him because he changed, not for what he is
╳  Doing Nothing → Because Geomi has started to work out regurlary and now, whenever he's just siting down, or just doing nothing in general, it makes him feel like he's lazy not doing anything that will improve his skills
╳  Contact Lenses → At least if he rejects plastic surgery, than he would make do without his GLASSES and wear contact lenses. He just always thinks that if he wears contact lenses that they will get lost in his eyes somehow and would never get it out
╳  Doing Aegyo → Unless you want to lose your eyesight than I suggest that you should not ask him to do anything cute
╳  Candy → When everyone was a child they love candy. Geomi was no exception, but again with training to become an idol, Geomi has to mentally train himself to restrict candy to come into his mouth 
╳  Drama → Life is life, not K-Drama. He doesn't like a tense atomsphere, because when there's drama you'll never actually realize what you could've done right because you went left

HABITS

╳ Keeping his mouth open  - Due to his unique mouth shape, it causes him to keep his mouth open. He does try his hardest to keep it shut, but it always finds a way to open itself up
╳ Brain Farts - Geomi has his mini-brain farts anyways. It takes him a moment to realize whhat's going on around him. And also when he talks, he has sudden moments when he just pauses in the middle of his sentences and continue talking moments later
╳ Shaking His Leg - This only happens when's very anxious and excited. So just imagine him when he's waiting for his birthday aprties when he was little

HOBBIES

╳ Composing - Trust him he says that his composing skilss weren't at all close to The Learders abilities, but Geomi does a bit of dabbling and suggesting his ideas when they're working on their albums or singles
╳ Practicing His Variety Skills - With his cheerful attiude, he gets the impression of being a great variety flower. Y'know? He practices his variety, but most of the time it's just natural to him

MORE TRIVIA

╳ → Doing girl group dances → Being a big girl group stanner, he knows his way of girl group dances and is not afraid to show it
╳ → Kkap Dance → Along with girl group dances, he is also suprisingly talented at kkap dancing and is not afraid to show it
╳ → He has only confessed to one girl in high school, but he was rejected for obvious reasons
╳ → He is very close with iKon's Junhoe. When Geomi started training, Junhoe and him would sometimes practise together, but they got closer in Mix & Match. Junhoe told Geomi after the show ended that he hopes himself and him would stand on the same stage together
╳ → When he was younger he used to have mini-concerts with his parents and his collection of stuff animals
╳ → He's close friends with and was even in her same class 15&'s Park Jimin
╳ → He has a DOG (Bullmastiff) named Leo, whom he had since he was 10 years old. Leo is 68 years old now, but still has a heart of a young pup
╳ → He's biggest wish, is to finally stand on the stage with people there because of his voice
╳ He likes girls that are more chubby and have thicker thighs
╳ He prefers to speak in English than Korean because he doesn't have to worry wwith the formalities he has to ise in Korean, and in English he could just be chill and comfortable
╳ Geomi's humor is similar to and EXO's Baekhyun (clever, witty, and perfect timing)
╳ Despite being on the skinny side, Geomi is the member that can eat more than 3 meals a day and can still keep the same weight he was before the next day
