PERSONALITY TRAITS :　
+ Ambitous, Sedulous,Determinated, Curious. Joyful,
- Bossy, Stubborn, Perfectionist, Impulsive, Hot-headed

PERSONALITY :　Well being young Gido has always had the aspiration and dertimination to become a successful person. Her parents had always called her an "Aspiring Airhead" because she doesn't really follow a path unless it's towards her dreams. Even if people said that her dreams are impossible she always tried to prove them that the impossible is possible. Even if she's one of the younger trainees in the company, her sedulous attitude, makes her a bit more mature. Because she heavily dedicates herself with diligence of an adult. Which suprises some of the older trainees, because that's when you see her exactly in her zone and that's her strict business time. At that time Gido is always determined to show her best, do her best and be the best. She doesn't like to lose face on why she's doing what she's doing. However, it's all because of her curiosity that kept her going. She's eager to learn more things and improve her skills. No matter how difficult things seems to her, she always tries her absolute best and tries her hardest to learn and understand everything and anything. Because knowledge is the key to the world, right?

Just like any other 17 year-old girl she is really upbeat and has a very positive outlook on life, her life specifically. She doesn't like it when the atomsphere is very awkward and tense so she always tries to make everyone happy and comfortable with each other, she's like an ice breaker for everyone. Even when she was a child she was a very upbeat kid and just liked to move around, and making people move around with her, even it might be against their will, but they would usually end up going along with it and just let loose - eventually. She is such a total social butterfly and her talkative attidtude makes her seem easy to approach.

            

But because she has the weight of being her school's class president, there are times she has to put her foot down, and start acting strict. Whenever, she notices someone not pulling their weight, for example setting up a school festival, if a classmate is not doing anything, she would nag at them and give them more stuff to do, to make up for their lost time.  But it also depends on what you say to her, that affects what she's going to do. One minute she's just minding her own business and then the next second she could be yelling her lungs out at you. So it's the best option to watch your words around this one.

Not calling any 17 year-old out but she can be a bit stubborn. Because of her being young, she wants some things to go a certain way. But it's safe to say that it's because she is still growing and is still learning how to compromise/seeing the beautiful of one side. Also, she can be a bit of a perfecionist. She wants everything to be spot on. Going back to her sedulous ethic it can be describe as excessive time at the studios and despite others telling her to take a break, she still continues even if she's drenched in sweat but, all she has to say in response is, "as long as I can still move, I will keep working hard." Since she's one of the youngest, she is looked after, causing some people to worry about her health but she ensures them she's okay and she can handle it. But they still watch out for her from a distance. When they keep pestering her about her, that can get some fumes coming out of her ears. She will voice out her opinions, and it come off as if she's yelling, but it's more like raising her voice. She does feel guilty afterwards because it was disrespectful of her and it wasn't right in the first place and apologizes.

BACKGROUND :　To get the obvious out of the way, Bang Gido was born as the youngest of her family, and has two older siblings. One sister, and one brother and two loving parents. As a child, her parents wants to support her in whatever she wanted to do in her life. 

During her early school days, when it was Sports Day (y'know what I'm talking about, right? The day when all the classes compete competively at sports) Gido was just sitting around, cheering her classmates on. Then it was her friend's turn to compete at Relay. Fortunatley for Gido, one of her class runners twisted her ankles when she was practising. Because Gido was only kid hyped up with energy, while every other kid was chugging water bottles like no tomorrow and Gido took the spot. Gido, literally had no idea what to do in Relay and only learned how to do it under five minutes and thrown in her position as the starter. 

To add on Gido nervousness when one of the teacher blew the starting pistol in the air,  Gido ran for her f****** life. She was sprinting and sprinting, until she saw the next sprinter and passed the baton on to her and Gido for once in her life was tired as f***. Gido didn't even realize that the runners were still going, then under a minute cheers were errupted in the sky and could see that her team won. That's when Gido fell in love with running.

Gido spent her youth running around the track, which brought her a smile onto her face. She loved how everyday when she ran it seemed like she was getting faster by the second. Plus, whenever she thought that she had a lot of When entered high school she joined the track team and won a heep ton of medals for coming in first place. Soon her time has come and her speed was acknowledged earned the nickname, "Speed Queen". 

The one day, at another one of her track meets, and Gido was in the heat of the sprint, she ended up twisting her ankle. Because of how fast she was running, and landing her foot wrong her ankle injury was so bad that she couldn't compete for the rest of the season. With that mindblowing news, Gido's world began to crash down.

After that, Gido was bedridden for a whole month, even if she was walking again normally the doctors strongly reccommded that she shouldn't keep doing track. With her parents wanting the best for their child they withdrawed her from the track team. After that Gido was in a funk. After school she would go to the track and see her former teammates running on the track, it made her feel heartbroken that she couldn't join them.

Thankfully, one boy who was a close friend at the mall who always visited her family's bakery, comforted her. He knew how much track meant for her. Even if they don't see each other often, he noticied the hanged picture of her smile on her face as she showed off the gold medal off in at one of track meets. He introduced her to music. He played a song for her to make her feel happy. It worked, more than she could imagine. She resonated with the rap more than the actual singing.

That's when she started to dream a new dream, where this time she's running towards stars of becoming an idol. She stated to practice writing raps in her spare time whether it be at school, the bakery, and at home. Whatever words came in her mind, she would've written it down. She soon had the courage to audition for Show Me The Money, which was filming their 4th season at that time. The mentor who judged her first was Verbal Jint (who was by the way, her idol). Lucky enough for her, she got through to the first round. In the one minute rap segment, many judges weren't looking forward seeing another high school rapper, but as soon as she started her rap it caught each judges attention. Her rap stood out for her lyrics being more pure that suits her image, rather than a bunch of young school rappers who try to be hardcore. She survived the team challenge, then was chosen as a team member for Zico's and Paloalto's team, even if they weren't Verbal Jint, there wasn't a gaurentee that her preferred team would've chosed her, so she made the decision and joined them. However her luck ran out, when she eliminated during the group challenge, for being outshined by other members. She wasn't that disappointed because her teammates were doing this before she was born.

However, Zico saw potential inside Gido, and reccommened her for his label, Seven Seasons. Then it just happened, she signed the contract and began training as of late 2015, and has been training for two years now.

Her regular day-to-day schedule consists of waking up, going to school, then after school she'd go to Seven Seasons and trained for six hours, six days of the week. (I heard some agencies gave their trainees one day off) Then when it was her day off, catch up with friends and work at the bakery.

How are You?

RELATIONSHIPS :　 

▸ Father — Bang Jaesuk (47) / Baker / Protective, Loving, Childish / Gido's a daddy's girl
Ever since Gido was a baby, she was naturally close to her father, and was always wrapped around his legs, wanting to go anywhere that he goes. Of course, the main reason why Gido hasn't dated anyone before is because some guys who see his big hands that are needed for kneeding dough, could pummel them any second. However, when Gido's sad, a simple hug from her father makes her happy 

▸ Mother — Bang Jinju (42) / Casheir ay Bakery / Nurturing, Humorous, Energetic / Very Close
Gido mother keeps nagging at her daughter that they're similar when it comes to their personality. Jinju is basically Gido's source of energy when she's tired. Because of Jinju's playful, energetic side a night in the Park's house is never boring

▸ Brother and Sister — Park Bugun (21) and Park Yeojung (20) / College Students /Fun, Supportive, Attentive / Never one without the other
Ever since Gido was born, her older siblings made sure that she was safe and always sminling. When the three of them were all together, their parents gotta be at their toes at all cost, 'cause all of them are fans of pratical jokes. However as older siblings whenever their youngest needs their help, they got her

▸ Close Friends — Lee Euiwoong (16) / High School Student/Trainee / Observing, Confident, Caring / Brother from another mother
So, if you don't know much about this angel, he was Hello Counselor as one of the people who was concerned, and is on PD101 as a trainee under Yuehua Entertaiinment. They knew each other because they worked at the same mall and grew close when he kept visiting the bakery for food. Also, they were next-door-neighbours with each other

What are you?

PERSONA :　Pure Rap Queen

POSITION : Rap & Singing

TRAINEE YEARS : 2 years
TRAINEE LIFE : Because Seven Seasons is still irrevealently unknown, they weren't many trainees that she could've trained with. So Gido would've still been alone at her trainee time. But with the trainees that were there, they built a nice bond and helped each other out. Plus, Block B are her seniors and sometimes when they weren't busy, they would drop by and see how the trainees were doing

SINGING TWIN : Lee Hi

RAPPING TWIN : Kisum

DANCING TWIN : Choi Yoojung

TALKING TWIN : Kim Yoojung
 

VARIETY TWIN: Kim Taeyeon

HIDDEN TALENTS : none

STRENGTHS : When she raps, she naturally has a bit of a low tone, so that helps her when she needs to hit more of an alto note when she's singing. But Gido thinks that her biggest strength is that she's so charsimatic and passionate of grabbing the mike, standing onstage, and saying what she wants to say for 3 minutes. Whenever her group performs she make her small section f the song will stand out, and most of the time, it does and people remember her face and part which helps with her voting. Plus, Gido is a hard worker and does whatever it takes to have the greatest performance each show.
WEAKNESSESS : If Gido ever got designated as a leader, not many girls will be fond of her. Because let's be honest there can be some pushovers on the show, and Gido being the perfectionist that she is, she's not afraid to clapback to make sure everyone is doing their part. Also, when it comes to singing, she doesn't know a lot of techincal terms mean, if you ask her to do a falsetto she woud've been lookind dazed and confused. Also, the vocal trainers say that even though her tone in singing is good, when she hits high notes she sounds too strained and it's best if she was a sub-vocal and not main/lead.
VOCAL RANGE : C#3 ~ G#5

Why are you?

question : WELCOME! PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF

▸ I bowed 90 degrees infront of the camera, with the pretty smile of him. "Annyeonghaseyo! I'm Park Gido, an I'm a 2 year trainee at Seven Seaasons!"

question : WHAT DID YOU AUDITION WITH?

▸ I paused for a moments before I remembered what I was going to do. I'm going to do a dance and rap.

question : DO YOU THINK YOU'LL GET INTO THE TOP 11?

▸ "If I believe in myself, I know I can." I stated confidently as I nods to my answer 

question : HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT PRODUCE 101 SEASON 2 WITH BOTH GIRLS AND BOYS?

▸ I couldn't help but to start giggling at the mention of boys and girls. The PD even told me that my ears were turning red. "Aigoo, sorry. As a trainee I promised my boss that I'll be responsible and spend my time here wisely. But, as a 17 year-old girl.... I like this concept very, very, very, much." As soon as she processed what she said, "Will my boss see this?" The PD nodded her head, even though I thought she was joking. Either way, I started to rapidly bow my head down.

question : WHAT RANKING DO YOU THINK YOU'LL GET?

▸ Another nervous laugh let out of my mouth. Then a bit of a playful smirk started to grow on my face. "Aren't I strong canidate for first place?" Then I let out a small huff. "Many people might not like me after this..."

question : WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE MALE CONTESTANTS?

▸ Another nervous laugh from my mouth- again, "What do you mean by that? In a competitive way, they're not much different as girls. I think they're more relaxed than the girls, so I think in a way I and the other girls can have an upper hand."

question : WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE FEMALE CONTESTANTS?

▸ "To be honest, I think from the first season every girl wanted to win, and were overly competitive." It was the first time when I answered a question immediatley. "I don't know about this season though, but because we are girls after all, same with boys, everyone will soften up."

question : DO YOU FEEL ANY PRESSURE?

▸ This time I didn't stifle a laugh, because that one question, I think everyone understands how much that one word holds. "Of course... I mean... how do I say this?" I asked myself as I find the right words to say. "There are so many things that each trainee is presenting to viewers. But they don't see everything when the camera turns off. Every trainee is throwing their company's name, their own skill, attitude, everything to debut in the end. And our future is given to the hands of people on the other side of the screen that we don't know." I took a deep breath to recollect myself calmly. "So I guess, yeah, I do feel pressure."

question : DO YOU GET ALONG WELL WITH THE OTHER CONTESTANTS OR IS THERE DRAMA?

▸ "Why are you doing this to me?" I complained. "I think I do, but I think this question is a two way street." I added. "But I think tensions will rise, and laughter will be let out, but I don't know, anything can happen."

question : THAT'S THE INTERVIEW, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO SAY?

▸ I nodded my head eagerly, as I faced the camera lens, staring right back at me, "Even if the finish gets further away from me, I'll run faster to cross it!"

Annyeongkitty : Kitkat

LAST WORDS :　This is only my second applyfic application ever, so I hope that you like it and the new layout. I hope you love this OTP as much I do. I hope Lee Euiwoong actually makes it to debut! Also, I feel the same about Yongbin, I thought he would be more popular...

SCENE REQUESTS : 

▸ They hear the famous announcement of every trainee meeting outside, while everyone else was running, Gido was trying her best to job as fast as she could and Euiwoong helping her out
▸ Euiwoong and Gido get to perform in the same group together and when they took a break from practice, Gido starts to unload the embarassing stories of little Euiwoong
▸ Maybe, the A class (and Gido was a part of the A Level) race for the songs for the first performance, and because Gido had to run it made her nervous. Her past injury wasn't known (judges/trainees only known that she used to be a great sprinter) to anyone, so when she tried to run, she ended up tripping from nerves and fell down, clutching her ankle and Euiwoong was the first one to rush to her side
