B.v.G. : The Next Generation ► Girl Group's Len
GIrl group : Park Lena
PERSONALITY TRAITS :
+Positive: Creative, Energetic, Mood Lifter
-Negative: Clumsy, Loud, Annoying
PERSONALITY : The type of person that Lena is that she is loud and energetic.With her EDM music background it is easy to unsderstand why she is like this. Especially while on stage, she would either screw around with other members on stage like other kpop groups or she would be the person to hype up the audience till the whole venue/stadium is turnt; sometimes, if there were other groups back stage watching they would feel turnt till there was another party backstage. Where ever the girl group was, not matter what time of day it is she; either it be out on the streets or on a viariety show she could turn it in a party, it was like a gift. The only people who can really stop her is either the leader or manager. However her loud and energetic nature can also be considered a bad thing because sometime the group want a quiet day just to relax but they can't. During these time Lena is considered annoying and would annoy the other memebers.
She is a quick thinker when it comes to reading peoples moods. For example a member is really depressed she would do anything to cheer them up. Another example could be that the group is stuck in an awkward situation with the host/interviewer Lena would either say something or do something to lighten up the mood and get everyoneout of the awkward situation. When it comes to creating music she would either help her members compose lyrics and them make music for it or she would make music so her other members can make some lyrics for it. She is quite adventureous when it comes to trying out different concepts or other music style.
BACKGROUND : Lena's parents lived in Korean, it wasn't until 1992, three years before she was born her father got a job offer in the same company that he was already working in but in Amsterdam. He took it and moved with his wife to Amsterdam and 6 months after he was offered the job, he and his wife settled into their new home in Amsterdam. So Lena was born on the 28th of May, 1995 in Amsterdam and was mostly raised by her mother while her father focused on working so the family can live comfortably. However when she was 10 years old her mother died due to cancer. Her father was devastated because he realised that he was so focused on working that he didn't really try to put aside time to spend with his wife and child. So from that day on he tried his best to be a big part in Lena's life.
Over the years Lena developed an interest in house music and EDM; listening and creating music of her own. So in senior years of high school she sent demos of her music and an application to music label Spinnin' Records. They were really impressed with the music she created so she was accepted. While working in on finding her own unique style she met Martin Garrix; another aspiring young DJ which she really connected with even though she found that both of their sounds of music were different. She had been working under Spinnin' Records for about 6 months when famous DJ Don Diablo approached her and talked to her about his record label Hexagon which is a sub-label within Spinnin' Records. She had a look at the types of artist in Hexagon and found that the music that was being produced were similar to hers. So she thought that Hexagon would help her develop her music and her as a person. So she ended up joining with Don Diablo volunteering to be her mentor. While working under Hexagon her music style grew and her music techniques improved.She soon saw Hexagon as her family and how they were willing to protect other artist and members of Hexagon, however she was still an underground DJ. While creating music at Hexagon she spotted people out on the streets of Amsterdam dancing a certain style of dance to house music. She continued to obsereve and later found out that the dancing style was called cutting shapes so she decided to do a little research and started to learn the dance techniques herself.
After the success of R3hab in Korea with Wave and Alesso reproducing his old track "Years" with EXO vocalist Chen. Don Diablo wanted to get in on kpop but wanted to do something more than just a collab. That was when Lena suggested that she could try becoming a Kpop idol. Say that it would Hexagon reach a larger audience and that she really had her big break yet. Thinking that it's an interesting idea and what Lena said does make sense Don decides to talk it over with other higher ups of Hexagon and mention it to Spinnin Records. After its was all clear Hexagon contanted Dark Horse Entertainment to work this whole thing out. Most of Lena's contact with Dark Horse Entertainment was though video call and told her to tell them what aspect she has to offer to Dark Horse Entertainment. She sent in a video and audio version on her singing All I Ever Wanted by Michael Brun she recorded in the studio. A video of her style of dancing and a few tracks of her music that she created. After a while of not hearing anything Dark Horse Entertainment contacted Hexagon and she was finally told that she got accepted. After that she and other higher ups of Hexagon organized a contract saying that she is under both Dark Horse Entertainment and Hexagon; doing activities for both companies and that if Dark Horse Entertainment were to try anything that violated it the contract would be terminated and Lena would return to Amsterdam immediately. When she heard about the survival show that Dark Horse Entertainment was planning she decided she would enter it for the LOLs. Hexagon found out about it a few weeks later and she got told off by one of the managers over Skype for not informing Hexagon but in the end they let her anyway.

TRAINEE LIFE : When Lena started to training the trainers told her that she should focused more on dancing learning different styles and techniques. As she learned she applied it to her own dance style. Most trainees saw her differently and some were even jealous of her because she didn't have a propper audition like the rest of them. However when she made an effort to break down the walls between her and the other trainees and people started to get to know her they found that she is fun to be around. After about 6 months in as a trainee she wanted to try and train her vocals. When she was still back in Amsterdam she did add her vocals to other DJs track most of the time the vocals of the tracks she did were more so to enhance the music. But at Dark Horse Entertainment she learned to sing so that the vocals were the main aspect of songs. At first she was a bit scared of going on stage to perform due to the fact the when she was peforming on stage back when she was a DJ she was always behind the turn tables making music that the audiences could enjoy. But when it came to performing as a kpop idol she felt that she is vulnerable because the stage was open and she wasn't just singing but also dancing. But over time she would get use to the stage her fear would disappear.
PREDEBUT ACTIVITIES : When Lena was 17 years old she joined a record label called Spinnin Records. This is a huge record label that many DJs are a part of. Even though she wasn't a well known DJ she collaborated with many other DJs. About half a year after joining Spinnin Records she merged into a sub-label within Spinnin called Hexagon Records run by well known DJ Don Diablo. Don Diablo saw potential in Lena and decided to become her mentor; teaching and helping her improve her music composing techniques while watching her mucial creativity flourish.
