Most people wouldn't see Byul's face at first. Not to sound erted, but they would mostly look at her long, lean legs. In which they would slowly scan upwards towords her face, and are blessed at her beautiful facial features. Also, her pale, smooth, and silky skin, which was acheived because her mother would always make her slab on dozens of sunscreen on. Also, she said that moisturizing is key.

The when it comes to her facial features many are quick to notice that her eyes that are natrual light shade of brown. Which are similiar to actor Seo Kang Jun's. She also has high cheek bones that compliments her oval shaped skin. But in Byul's opnion, she thinks her best features are her naturally plumped lips and are a shade of light pink without makeup.

Also since Byul no longer attends high school she has used the opportunity to dye her hair. (since we all know how strict some Korean high schools are and students are not allowed to dye their hair), Byul used to have natural dark brown hair, and then she had black, dark purple, and now she's fond of a bit of a orange-ish tint of hair with pink ombre.
 

Good:
// "This is how I do it." // So, with Byul, she is one of the oldest (age wise) contestant and has a bit of a long training career (which will be explained in the Background) she must have a pretty strong desire and determination to train and to have waited for so long to become an idol. She wants to succeed at what she does best and that shows when she's onstage performing. You can just feel her passion for what she does, and that she wants to be on the stage so badly and to get her hand on the microphone to tell who she is for 3 minutes. Her passion is what drags you into her performance, and make you just want to listen more. Because of that, her stage presence is on fleek. When her parts come on, you best believe that she's making the audience remember her name and making sure that her part is what stands out.

// "There's a light at the end of the tunnel." // But when Byul's off the stage and not training she's pretty much not what he portrays herself as what she is. Because you know the saying, "Fake it 'till you make it.", right? Because in reality when you see idols onstage, you literally can only see them for 3-4 minutes and done. Goes with variety shows too. Not everyone is who they actually say they are. Byul'sis no exception. She does show a confident and charismatic side of him onstage, but of the stage is a different story. Because due to her past, it has left her in a vulnerable state. But she just has to keep reminding her something what she's doing this for - who's she doing this for. Because that's the reason why she's walking in a very shaky bridge, and a road with a lot of unexpected twists, turns, and bumps. To know and just hope that all the hardwork and pain will be paid off one day, and to just see the people who were behind you the whole time to just cry because you made it. To know that they're proud of you is what Byul thinks - knows that all the pain she faced and others faced is what makes their loved ones smile.

// "Hi, is the first word of friendship." // With her past crawling back to her thoughts during the competition, Bomseok tries her hardest to make sure that the girls (ecspecially the younger ones) to know what they're in for. She wants them to know that it takes sweat, blood, and a whole lot of tears to just train. Everyone knows that a trainee lifestyle is hinderous no matter what. But the expierience is a whole lot easier when you have allies. Because she started out young, and she had to sacrifice a lot in her youth, but with the people that she met it made them feel like she was not sacrificing that much (if that makes sense). With the contestants that she meets through the show, she wants to be like the people she encountered in her trainee life. She like an Unnie who always has her shoulders ready for them to lean on and the simple pat of the back when they did a good job. Byul even spends some time with other trainees to tell them what they look like they're struggling with, and has bit one-on-one with them as well. Plus, the figure to remind them that the road to be an idol is not the glitz and glamour.


Bad:
// "Never give the opportunity to waste your time twice. // Byul is treating this compeition as a second chance for his dream. It took a lot of courage for her to get her head back in the game. Now, she's rested, and ready to rumble because this is probably the factor in her life that changes who she's going to be and she wants to make sure that what she's going to be in the furture, is what everything she does in the present doesn't go to waste. She is probably the last person that leaves the practice room because she's still training herself past his limits which can lead her some minor complication. Because she's a perfectionist, it slows a team down when she knows she didn't do something right, she wants to restart to make sure that she's timing, position, and everything is right. She doesn't really care how much her eyes flutter when she's tried, or how sweaty her training clothes get, even with the amount of people to tell her to stop. She wants to start this competiton with her all, and leave the competiton to know that she gave her all.

// "Being nervous isn't a bad thing. It just means that something important is going to happen." // Even despite being couragous enough to come back to the harsh trainee life to become an idol. No matter how hard she had it before in life, doesn't mean that the same amount of jitters can change. No matter how confident she may seem onstage, she' still nervous and scared that she might fumble her lines, and has to play it off like nothing has happened. Also, there's time where she does doubt herself if she's picking the right path. That maybe the past event were a sign to tell her that this is not right path for him. She does lose the fire that was inside of her at times, because she's scared that the cycle that she faced will hit her like a typhoon. And trust me, it's scary.

// "People don't cry for being weak. It's because sometimes we were strong for so long." // Byul may seem confident, and charismatic, but let me tell you something. It's easier to say that there's nothing wrong, but it's harder to keep your head and actually being strong. Byul faced a lot of hardships when she came to Korea. She thought that the hardships will make her stronger than she was then, so she held in a lot of tears to herself because she didn't want other people to know she was hurting. Some of her experience made her feel vulnerable. She thought if music was the right path for ger and really consider to quitting in the past. She still does now, but because she doesn't want to fail in front of others, she has to put on a mask on to make her seem strong, but when she's in bed, she grabs her blanket and he just cries, because it really is hard to actually be strong for friends, family, fans, and most of alll - herself.

// New York // Just by looking at the title you know where I'm going with this. Byul was born in Brooklyn, New York. She didn't come from the most well off families, but she made do with the make do. It made her appreciate the value of a dollar (which explains why she can be cheap at times) and doesn't want to waste a lot of money. Her parents owned a convenience store that was a block away from school, so a lot of kids from her class knew who she was. She was always the kid who appreciated what she had/has. As you may know that New York isn't the most racial friendly city. But atleast some people weren't raised by racist people, and didn't mind her ethnicity. In New York she was always someone who didn't really talk as much, but she as a damn good friend to lean on when you needed it. She made a lot of friends when it came to music. At her parents convenience store they would play the radio and listened to a lot of hip-hop and R&B. She still remembers when her friends would whip their phone out at free period, and would listen to the latest track of Jay-Z's new album.

// Gotta Go Back // Unfortunatley (age 10), there was a time where her parents convenince store weren't getting enough money and had to back to South Korea to get a better job there. She had to start anew. She only knew basic Korean because his parents taught him enough to get him by, but he had a bit of an Brooklyn accent to her voice that made her mispronounce some words. So she would get made fun of a lot and it kind of restrained her from talking because it would embarass herself.

// Lean On Me // Learning more Korean more traditionally weren't cutting for her that much. Luckily, there was music. To fit in with some people at her school in Brooklyn. Like hip-hop. She listened to a lot of old-school hip-hop like Wu-Tang Clan, N.W.A, Warren G, etc. Then she had to listen to Korean Music to make her feel like she wasn't that different from other kids. It was like music was somehow, always there for her to help her. it helped with feeling like he was different, that it was okay to be different, and that he wasn't alone. 

// How It All Came Together // Byul became an avid fan of Khip-hip. Because she had to admit that the beat was great, and probably because the lyrics were in another language, and had a lot more meaning, then what she usually heard in American hip-hop. She came to know Epik High, Verbal Jint, G.o.d, and of course her all time favourite 1TYM. She made friends because of her common interest in hip-hop. She also had a habit that comes out when she listens to music with headphones, and would just rap a long with it, without even knowing she's doing it.

A year after living in South Korea, her parents re-opened a convenince store down the street from her school. So, as a chore she was usually looking after the store (as a cashier). He would rap along to the songs that the radio played, go back to work when there's customers in the store.

It was only when she was 16 years old, after school one day, she was looking after the store, while her parents were resting for a while at home. A man in a very professional looking suit came to the cash register to pay for instant ramen and looked up to see her pretty face that a thought was conjuring in the mans head.

He literally asked if Byul liked hip-hop, in which she (Byul) hesitantly nodded in response. The man gave her a card, and said, "You have a good face, tryout for our company. I'll put in a good word in for you." And left (with his instant ramen).

When she told his parents about the news, her parents were unsure to push her towards that path, but they told her to do whatever she wants. She talked to her friends during school, and they said that she was should tryout. And since they were bestfriends Byul didn't want to audition. It was only until after school the next day, her friends dragged her to the company (that was called Stardom Entertainment).

She rapped to some lyrics that he wrote himself, when she was inspired by Lessangs' "I'm Not Laughing". Then about after a month she got confirmation that she was an official trainee of Stardom Enertainment.

// Blood, Sweat, And A Lot of Tears // Byul, didn't look after the store when she started to train. She felt bad for her parents because they were working, when they should resting. But her parents assured him, as long as he's doing something that makes her happy, and making them happy because of that, then it's okay.

Byul was considered a baby when she entered the company as she started training. She was a 16 year-old boy going through "the sensitive time" phase. She was nervous if she seemed like she wasn't the hip-hop type. Because she looked at some of the other trainees, who looked way more hardcore than her.

Despite being nervous, there were trainees (now close friends of hers) who made him feel like she had a sense of protection. 

As a trainee she continued to improve a lot with her rapping, and dance moves. Also, she got to practice composition. 

// Hey, Mom and Dad, I Made It //
But as we all know trainee life, is hard to do. Because she would wake up in the morning, got to school, train, and repeat. Plus, when she had to focus a lot more school when she's there.

However after three years of training hard, Byul was given the news that she would finally be making her debut as the leader of a five membered girl group. She was ecstatic that she would be making her parents proud and her dreams would come true. 

Bomseok continued to train for her debut, and that came to the news about Stardom's Entertainment CEO ran away with the money that Block B's parents had gave him. Everyone of the trainees were shocked. Because that's what happened to Block B, then what would happen to them?

So on August 9th, 2012 their MV debut was released and soon after Evol debuted at the ripe age of 19 and as the leader. She even earned the title as the "Female Version of Zico" due to being in the maknae line, but still became the later. After they debuted, she thought that they would be popular like their seniors, Block B however their expectations wasn't made. They started off with a good debut, but soon after they were being slowly forgotten by the public. 

But as the leader of the group, Byul wanted to keep her members energized and praying for the best. Evol did minimal promotions for their songs, and barely came out on variety shows. However their seniors became the face of the company, and the company's girl group slowly began to crumble.

It was only a year later of Evol's debut that they finally had a comeback - which a bare amount of people cared about. They were gone for so long, yet Block B was never fading. But her duty as a later was to stay strong for the girls. 

They waited and waited for another comeback, but nothing was happening and it seemed like they were going no where. They couldn't even try to nullify their contracts with the company due to their already continued trials with Block B. Each of the members were doing individual things and not working as one.

Soon the pain ended for everyone that was tied to Stardom Entertainment once everyone's contract was renewed and were now free. Byul left the company at the age of 22.

'Till this very day, Byul would always think that Evol had talented members, a great debut, but maybe the timing was all wrong.

// What Now? // Byul left the company after 3 years of training and 3 years of debuting as the leader of Evol. Because Byul seemed to focus more on music in her years of youth, she didn't study enough to go to a good college. But she did end up going to small local college, and is attending her first year as a major in Business.

She still writes raps, and monitor herself out of habits from when she' was a trainee, but she hasn't fullout performed again as of yet.

After 2 years of leaving the idol life behind her, it was sad to say that Byul didn't know what to do in her life. Music was her first love, but was also he main enemy. Byul left with many regrets and questions for herself. "Was it because of me that my team failed?", "Did I do enough to help my members?", "How come we didn't succeed?". She felt a sense that she failed her parents time for taking care of the store by themselves and is now making it up for them by working there as soon as her classes finish 'till late at night to close the store.

Some fans of the flopped group noticed the former Star Leader. They asked if she felt bad because their group didn't made it, is she working there to make up for some debt that she had. But Byul would've just scanned their items and ask for their change. Even if it may have seemed rude, she honestly didn't know how to respond to a question that she even ddn't know what was the problem.

// There's No Shame in Failing, But There is Shame in Giving Up // Byul would watch the store's TV installed and watch successful idol groups. She would hear the fan chants, see the first place winners, hear their 1st win speech, everything that she never heard. Her parents could see their daughter's face yearning for the chance to stand on stage again. But what was really heartbreaking to Byul that his parents bought a TV for the convenience store, to see him onstage for when she would debut. So, it hit her parents hard when Evol disbanded, and their daughter had to take a break from dreams and go back to her regular lide routine.

Byul hasn't completely gaveup on music. Byul has been balancing her rapping, singing, composing, producing, and her studies. Byul knows that it's risky to throw everything away for something that can't be gaurenteed, but she also wants something to lean back on if her dreams don't work out. 

Then randomly, as she was studying late at night at home, on her 5th ciup of coffee, she got a phone call from her old and close friend, Woo Jiho (friendship will be explained later).

 "Yah! Byul-ah, you up?"

"I was. What do you want?"

"Uhm... How do I put this easily?"

"I'm scared now? Put "what" easily?"

"You know how you wanted to be an idol, but you were never really given a chance to show it?"

"Why do you have to bring that... Yeah."

"There's a survival show that's looking for contestants to join."

"So?"

"Yah! Aren't you in college? You should join!"

There was a moment of silence. Bomseok reminicised his trainee days, and the last days of being in Stardom.

"I'm in college now. Plus, it's already been a year, I have to do something for my parents to be proud of. Music is just a hobby now, and studies is a priority. You know how hard it is on my parents when they have to look after the convenience store."

"How about the TV in the store? They bought that to see you onstage. Even if they see you on that small screen again, they would be proud of you. Don't you want them to feel to see their daughter on TV doing what she loves and making others happy?" 

After Jiho said that, another moment of science came back.

"Just... Just think about it. Do what makes you happy."

// Do or Don't //

Soon, Byul found herself in the entertainment industry once again.

She decided to audition for the shor for her parents and himself to be "herself" and as, a Shining Star.

➳ Close Friend / Woo Jiho aka "Zico" / 24 / Charismatic, wise, concernful, lighthearted
Jiho and Byul met when they were just mere trainees under the same company. Jiho treated Byul as a little sister because she looks so lost at practice and he thought that she would show her around since he was training before. While they were training Zico would give her a lot feedback and help her with her producing skills. And that was when a beautiful friendship blossomed. Zico felt sorry for Byul's group flopping and ever Evol's disbandment he tried to persuade Byul to sign under Block B's new company, but Byul refused because she wanted to focus on her studies. Plus, they do hangout time to time.

                                     
➳ Best Friends / Son, Yoomi / 24 / Positive, Optmistic, Energetic, Understanding
Yoomi and Byul met each other as neighbours when Byul moved back to South Korea. At first Byul was a bit shy around new people, but Yoomi wasn't. Almost after the day Byul moved Yoomi knocked on their door and asked Byul to hang out. Byul's made the decision for Byul to go, but that was the one of best days of Byul's life. Yoomi and Byul clicked instantly. They were like each others Ying and Yang. Yoomi was one of the first people to push her to audition for Stardom and was the president of Byul's fanclub. Yoomi was also there when Evol dissolved. Yoomi and Byul has been through thick and thin together and they're just waiting for the next thing that's going to happen to them.
