+ Jun, Byul
+ ByuByu (뷰뷰) - Given by his close friends when she was training to become an idol. This nickname can actually replace his original name because of how often he's called Byul
+ Star (스타) - This was her stage name when she debuted which will soon be explained.
+ Jjoleb (Beginners Level) (쪼렙) - Because of her previous experiences, among the cast zhe's the "beginner" of the contestants There are the masters, “newbs.” This word is a slightly altered version of 쪼그만한 레벨, meaning a small or low level.
+ Kimbap- If you ever see Byuk in public almost everytime he's eating some sort of kimbap 
+ Gyopo Unnie (교포 언니) - she was raised overseas, but has only been in America for only been there for 9 years
+ Swag Unnie (스웩 언니) - Many of the other trainees first impression of Byul when she walked in the room is that she had a lot of swag to her
+ Husky (허스키) - You would think by her outter appearence that she would have a more sweet and softer voice. But many were suprised of the low and husky voice that came out of her./ explanation
+ faceclaim/backup ; Lee Sungkyung (actress/model)
+ languages spoken
English / fluent / She was born in Brooklyn and spent her elementary school life in Brooklyn. So, she's very fluent in the language. (Ecspecially when with the curse words) She also has a bit of a New Yorkers accent)
Korean / fluent / She learnt Korean the months before she moved there. She kept speaking it, until she became semi-fluent. She has trouble when it comes to spelling and writing
+ appearance ; 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.+ 174cm & 52kg + Under her left collarbone (because it's the closest to her heart)

+ fashion ; Despite Byul's elegant appearence, she actually prefers more of a street style. Maybe because she grew up outside of South Korea, maybe that's why she doesn't have much care into her apperence and isn't an over the top fashionista. 

However, our Byul loves to show off her long legs because she believes that there probably won't be another time where she could be more than proud to own and embrace her body.

Good:
// "This is how I do it." // So, with Byul, she is one of the oldest (age wise) girl trainee 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 is no exception. She does show a confident and charismatic side of herself onstage, but off 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 her training period with BigHit, Byul 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 experience as a second chance for her 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 her limits which can lead her to 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 industry 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.

+ background ; 

// New York // Just by looking at the title you know where I'm going with this. Byul was born in Brooklyn, New York. Byul is the eldest child of her family with brother who is five years younger than her. 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 small restaurant 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 restaurant 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, TLC, 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 and R&B. 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, Tasha aka Yoon Mirae, 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. Even her little brother was catching along to the beat and he became a fan of it too.

A year after living in South Korea, her parents re-opened another small resteraunt down the street from her school. So, as a chore she was usually looking after the place (as a hostess). She would rap along to the songs that the speakers played, go back to work when there's customers in the store. Most of the time her brother had to yell at her when a costumer was waiting in line for too long.

It was only when she was 16 years old, after school one day, she was looking after the restaurant with her brother, while her parents were resting for a while at home. A man in a very professional looking suit came to the  cashregister to pay for his meal 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.

When she told her parents about the news, her parents were unsure to push her towards that path, but they told her to do whatever she wants. When her brother overheard the news, he was more excited than anyone in the one. Her brother lieterally begged her to join because he thought of having an idol sibling would be so cool (lowkey he just wanted to go to music shows and meet the other prettier girl groups) It was only until after school the next day, her brother dragged her to the company (that was called Stardom Entertainment).

She sang to some lyrics from Jessica HO's "Life is Good". 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 be resting and her brother was there alone. But her family assured her , as long as she'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 girl 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 her 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. 

Byul 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 1 year 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 restuarant 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 place.

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 life routine.

But the person that took the most damage was her little brother, Bom. Because he was the one to convince to to audition for the company and he felt a sense of guilt of being one of the reason she failed as an idol. But also becase he saw how hard his sister worked to train and her passion for music was impeccable.

One time when their convenience store was close to closing time Byul and Bom were watching the TV again, watching "I Can See Your Voice 3" it was the Jessi episode. Then Bom's gears started to turning in his head and soon he had a lightbulb.

"Noona! You should join the show so everyone can know who you are!" He exclaimed right in the middle of the store, disturbing some high school students eating; in which Byul had to apologize for the minor disturbance.

"No way. It's better if I just continue to study." Byul declined her little brother's idea. As the clock struck 10PM and Byul shooed the last of patrients and was sweeping the door he brother kept bugging the silly idea to her.

"Please..." her brother begged.

"No! I already failed once I don't want to fail again!" She exclaimed, but the unexpected happened and she felt her 18 year-old brother latched onto her leg.

"I feel bad enough that you failed because of me. Atleast this time people will definatley hear your voice and know your name! For me!" Byul looked down at her brother's face that was burried onto her thigh. She sighed to herself, seeing her brother who was about to graduate high school acting like preschooler. However, Byul saw how sincere her brother was and hesitantly agreed.

Soon after a couple weeks later (I know, it's not that easy to get on a show, but for timeline sake) after Bom enterted her sister to join the show she was casted into the IOI episode.

When she was on the show, her choices were if she was a skilled vocalist was "former girl group leader" and if she was tone deaf she was "a unemployed college student". She felt a bit embarrassed when the panel didn't know who EVOL was and thought she was tone deaf because of that. Also when she looked at IOI she felt a bit jealous that the group was mere year-old group, but already had global success. 

In the end she wasn't chosen, heck she got eliminated in the 1st round because the younger idols said that they never heard of Evol before. However when she started to sing, everyone immediatley started to regret not knowing who Byul was. When she had a lttle time left for a small interview, she couldn't help, but let out some tears. When the MC's asked what was wrong, she said, "This is the first time when I started singing that I got a big reaction." When asked if she's still in an idol, she informed they disbanded and went their seperate ways and mentioned she only went on the show because her brother wanted to see his sister to finally get some recognition.

After the show's airing, Byul wasn't expecting anything miraculous to happen to her. She was finally making peace with her future, but then one time when she and her brother returned home from looking after the store. Her parents told her that they recieved a call from a man from some company called BigHit Entertainment asking them if Byul could join them as a trainee.

Of course the decision required a lot of thinking. Her brother, (they share the same room) started talking to he about taking the offer. Byul tried to brush him off saying it was her decision, but then she heard this.

"I know that you might feel scared about training again, but I hope that you try again. I mean, you keep saying that music was your first love and that you wanted to meet your friends again onstage." He started off, only to be interrupted by a crumple piece of paper thrown by his sister.  "Cut to the chase I have to study for finals."

"Anyways, I mean the only reason why we bought the TV in the convenience store was to see you onstage doing what makes you happy. And please don't lie to us saying your happy just by studying and looking after the store. Just one more time, please? I just want some bragging rights to my friends that my siblings is famous. Anyways, goodnight." Her brother finished and turned off his light, leaving the bedroom half bright. Byul sighed to herself and closed her textbook making up her mind.

The next week, she looked at the building with BigHit Entertainment at the front. Hoping to herself that she will succeed this time.

WHO ARE YOU? 
+ please give a brief introduction of yourself.
      - As Byul faced the camera, she took a deep breath and smiled towards the lens. "Hello, I am Ocean's Shining Star Leader, Byul!"
+ what made you decide to join bighit entertainment?
      - "Joining wasn't my choice." Byul stated. "However, I was contacted after I appeared on a sining competition. I was hesitant, but my brother reminded me about the TV in the convenience store that my parents owned why they bought it." Byul knows that she was yammering a bit longer than she expected, so she told herself to answer this question quickly. " They bought so they could see me sing and be happy. My brother convinced me by telling me that so I came here."
+ what are your hopes for ocean and how successful do you think ocean can get? 
      - Byul couldn't help, but be remembered about her failed idol past when the word, "success" came to her mind. "I hope that Ocean names will get the recognition that I think all of us deserves.Even though we might not get the hype like our seniors, but I hope our talent can shine to our fans like they did."
+ do you have any relationships with the current bts members? if so, what are they and how did you get to know them? 
      - Byul sighed to herself, because she knew this question was bound to happen. "Not really because I've only been training here for around 1 year and last year BTS was very busy. However they are seniors that care and are fond of their juniors and drop once in awhile to check up on us when we were trainees."
+ what do you think about being in a group with 8 members? is that too many or too little of an amount?
      -  Again, another memory flashed in Byul's miind remembering her members. "Big or small, I'm glad that the people who I'm debuting with are some of kindest and sweetest people I've met. I'm just thinking about how we're going to share the bathrooms..."

+ strengths
Singing / When it comes to singing, Byul's technique is impeccable due to her long training period and so she has a few tips and tricks when it ocmes to hitting an octave higher and/or lower. Plus, whatever song that Byul is given to sing, you can just feel the emotion; whether it be a tearjerking ballad or a hyped-up party song. Her vocals can tackle a lot of genres. 
Leadership(?) / I don't if leadership can be one of their strengths, but I decided to make a special appearence for it. There is a reason why Byul was appointed as the leader for her group group despite already debuted iously. When she was a trainee under BigHit even though she was seen as a junior in her company her actions towards the other trainees shown through as a senior. Encourages breaks to younger trainees because she didn't want them to get stressed, helped with the vocalists vocal technique, etc. She was kind of like a Yoda to their Lucas Skywalker. May I add that, when her group members harbor their serious feelings to their leader, she's always availible and tries to give the best advice possible for their situation.
+ weaknesses
Dancing / Dancing is not a major problem with Byul because she's good at following her groups choreography. The only thing that is a constant problem is that she takes a long time to perfect each move and sometimes she just gets lost in the choreo and doesn't know what to do. (So just imagine her going on Weekly Idol and seeing her fail at Random Play Dance). However she tries to prepare herself everytime before they actually performs on live shows and she calls for the main and lead dancer help remembering the moves.
Variety / Because Byu hasn't been a lot of variety shows when she debuted with Evol she doesn't really know how to roundabout a variety show unless she's showing her low quality dance skills. Also, she doesn't practice her variety skills and other than doing inerviews about doing concerts and basic muic promotions, she doesn't handle the variety call well and just let's the other members handle the laughter while she sits in the back watching them.
Rapping /  This (no words needed)

+ family/friends


Jun, Bom / 18 / Student / "Can I come backstage to meet Twic- I mean your members? /
Just like any other pair of siblings, Byul and Bom always bicker, but they do also have their sweet brother-sister lovey dovey moments. Bom has impacted Byul the most when it comes to her becoming an idol - again. Even though her plays it off as he just wants to meet other girl groups backstage,  he secretly just wants to show his unchanging support for his big sister.

Jun, Boyoung ./ 35 / Convenince Store Owner / "No matter what you do with your life, just be happy doing it." / 
Like the saying goes, "Mother knows best" and Boyoung is no exception. She knows that Byul isn't happy studyiing in college, even if it's most parents dream to see their child go through college, she wants Byul to go after what she really wants to do - making music. Even if she (Boyoung) has to watch the convenince store most of the time now, atleast she can see her daughter on the TV screen now.

Jun, Byunmin / 34 / Convenince Store Owner / "No matter how old you're getting, you'll always be Daddy's Girl," /
Okay, now it's kind of obvious that youthful/beautiful faces run in the Jun family, but genetics! Byunmin has always been the serious business man in the back of the store in his office counting the numbers away. But when he gets home he immediatley turns into a warm family man. When it comes to Byul, Byunmin can't help to melt when she smiles and can't help but to breakdown when she cries. Of course, it's a bit sad that Byul isn't going to take over the store, he just likes seeing her happy going towards her dream.

Woo Jiho / 24 / Idol/Producer/Rapper etc / "Let's meet again onstage again." /
These two go way back since they were trainees under Stardom. 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. They don't hangout that much because Zico is busy with his schedule and Byul is preparing for her idol debut. but when Zico heard the news he can't help, but to feel proud.

➳ likes
   - R&B- Different R&B, R&B I don't careif it's mainstream or indie scene~ Sorry, can't help myself. But Byul listens to a lot of different types of music, but R&B is her all time favourite.

   - Math - Hard to believe that the a person would like math willingly, right? Well, with being a cashier for most of her life, she got pretty good with numbers, and is one of her few talents.She can almost instantly➳ likes
   - Hip-hop - Of course, a rapper that likes hip-hop. But she does listen to other genres, like R&B, pop, but hip-hop is what she                majorly listens to

   - Math - Hard to believe that the a person would like math willingly, right? Well, with being a cashier for most of her life, she got          pretty good with numbers, and is one of her few talents. She can almost instantly calculate anything in her head, excpet long equations when he has to write her theories down

   - 90's hip-hop - She prefers the 90's hip-hop because, in Byul's opinion, back then rappers would write their own stories into lyrical poetry. Instead of how some artists of today's music would be generic in their songwriting process (but then again this is solely Byul's  opinion

   - Block B - Yes, we all saw this coming. The boys of Block B and Byul were and still close with each other back in their trainee days.They would treat her like a baby, because of her age when she started and saw her as a little sister.  Zico and Park Kyung like to joke   back in the days that they were Byul's parents when they were training. 

   - Kimbap - Again, another obvious like about Byul. She is always snacking on any type of kimbaps. When she's in her dorm and has nothing to eat, she would either make himself kimbap, or by some at the convenince store

  - Cooking - As a good son that she is, she would cook his parents dinner at times when they worked to hard, and are tired when they come back home

  - Show Me The Money - It's a guilty pleasure of hers. She watched season 4 when Zico was one of the producers for the show. She ended up loving it, and watched all the seasons. She ddn't pay attention to the drama, but mostly on the raps

  -  Coffee - As a college student, majoring in Business, is pretty tirig as Hell. Because of the studying and tests, coffee has become her best friend when she's in need of a quick pick me up. Plus, canned coffee is pretty addicting and more convenient then actually  making it

  - Dancing - Trust me, she ain't no Michael Jackson, but she sure knows how to move and look good doing it. She mostly learnt when   she was still a trainee under Stardom

➳ dislikes
   - Dissapointing Her Parents - Of course, as children of our own parents we  hate seeing them disappointed in us. When Byul's contract with Stardom expired and her group was unsuccessful, her parents said it was okay, but as kids we know when parents say  that, it's the oppisite. She wants to see her parents proud of her again

   - Mnet Editing - One word. Devil. Mnet is renowned for their "devil editing". Byul didn't like how they cut things to make a fake problem, but real drama for other people. 

   - Giving Up - May come across as a bit confusing because of what was stated previously. But, Byuk didn't give up music, she kept that a hobby. She just took a break from the spotlight to become an idol because, she's 22 know, and has to think of different things    after her contract expired

    - Rapping - Byul is a snger for all the right reasons. She cannot rap for her life, so unless you want ear cancer you d not want to ask her to rap

  - Squid - She's allergic to squid, so whenever her parents decides to treat her for a seafood feast for special occasions, she has to         always be concious of whether she's eating squid or octopus

  - Being Called "Cute" - She may look cute, but she hates being called cute. Because, I mean, she is 21 years old, and tries to be mature and have some Sseununni look to her. Plus, she's very awkward if you ever ask her to do aegyo, but she ends up being cute     anyways

  - Horror Movies - She hates horror movies. She hates the jump scares, She hates blood, any form of masks and prostetics, anything    that She thinks will scare her for life and give her internal nightmares in any form or way

  - Makeup - I mean, She never wore make-up ever in her life (before he debuted though) - so she has nothing against it, but it just not her style

  - Not Doing Her Part "Perfect" - Being the perfectionist that she is, whenever she performs and thinks that she didn't do her best,she's always hard on herself, and she won't blame any members, but herself. Because in the world, the only person you can blame is   you only

  - The TV in Her Parents Convenience Store - When Byul became a trainee, her parents bought andINSTALLED a TV in the convenince store to see their daughter onstage doing her thing and being happy. But when her contract expired, and Evol flopped, she hates    seeing the TV there because when she's working there on her off days from college it kind of makes her feel like her parents bought it  for nothing.

➳ habits
   - Rapping With Headphones - Byul has a weird habit of whenever she listens to hip-hop songs on her playlist on her phone, she conciously raps along to the lyrics

➳ hobbies
   - Cooking - Sometimes her parents would be tooTIRED after work at the convenince store and stressed about how much income is coming in, so away to make their lives a bit more easier, she started cooking for her parents. In Ocean she is dubbed the official chef of the dorm

   - Composing - Of course, when she was a trainee under Stardom she was taught to compose her own songs. So, if there's a time  when they have to compose a song, or make their own rap, Byul got you

   - Taking Care of The Younglings - Again, she wants the younger trainees to know that they have an ally in the competiton, so she likes taking care of them as little sisters and brothers

➳ trivia
   - During her trainee days of Stardom she and was close to the boys of Block B. If she has to choose the members that she's most comfortable with it would be the vocal iine, including Zico

   - For any fan Evol, it's hard to say this, but Byul and the other girls don't talk much with each other.

   - She was #1 at her mock exams for her high school, but when she the actual ranking for her exams came, she was 3rd place

   - When she was picked for Ocean she was given the nickname of "Jjoleb" (Beginners Level) because she hasn't been training for awhile and despite her eleborate pre-debut life she was at the bottom of the barrel again and had to work her way up

   - What she wants to acheive during the show, is that when her parents turn on the TV in her convenice store, is that they will see their daughter doing what she originally wanted to do

   - If Kimbap was a person, she would marry it

   - If she had to pick her ideal person, no matter the gender, if the person makes kimbap well, that's all that matters to her

   - She's an expert at making kimbap

   - She prefers the food in America, because she was raised eating the hot dogs from the street vendors on the corners, but she likes Korean food when it comes to snackin (except Twinkies, because they are life)

   - She hopes that Ocean will e her redemption for her failed idol debut before

   - One thing that Byul would like to acheive in the next ten years of her life, that she woud be a CEO of her music company, where she would work her hardest to train idols as humans and work hard to get the groups that he would form popular anything in her head, excpet long equations when he has to write her theories down

    - Byul instagram is @ByulLeader_Official

"kiss him will i diss him i don't know but i miss him."

Good:
We all know how that Kim Jonghyun right now is being called, "The Nation's Leader" which he totally deserves. The man is one of the most humble people out there in the world. Kim Jonghyun knows that he wouldn't be where he is today without the people not behind him, but the people who were beside him at all times. He wants to take every chance he gets to share the spotlight with his teammates throughout the show. He's a great leader, because he shows his teammates concern whether it's becuse they can't get the choregraphy, needs help with rapping, or striaght up not in the mood, he will always be there to get your up and work hard to go as far as they can while their on the show. an example of this is when he was helping former teammate, Kwon Hyunbin during their Sorry, Sorry stage. Now that PD101 is over and KJonghyun unfortunatley didn't make it to the final line-up, his popularity actually took a turn for the best. This is his chance to make sure that his careerwill stay stable and hopefully get the spotlight that he truly deserved from the first place. But just because he can't promote as the whoie Nu'est, doesn't mean he's going to act gold with others. He can be very affectionate towards to other people, maybe because he already knows what the industry does to people and wants them to work under care, or maybe because he wants them to succeed as much as he does. But either way, he treats every guy as if they're his brother.

But one thing that many people worry about him is his selfessness. I mean the possibilities are that Kim Jonghyun will be chosen as the leader of whatever group he gets, so that means when they're getting evaluated and one person isn't up to par, Kim Jonghyun doesn't take the blame because it's his job, but because he knows that he's not doing his job as leader right. I mean, don't you remember Jonghyun taking the blame for Hyunbin at their group evaluation? Another thing that we don't get to see Jonghyun doing is kind of venting his concerns for himself because he's so focus on taking care of s need that he doesn't look out for himself, and some people can think that might be his downfall one day. Plus, one thing that could annoy because he can be doubtful about his capabilities as an idol because he thinks to himself that maybe if he doesn't have the skills before maybe that's why Nu'est didn't make it. Because he's out in the public once again with his newfound popularity.and getting more opportunitities to show himself and his group members off. I bet it had took a toll on Jonghyun when he had to reintroduce to himself to the nation as an 8 year trainee and working so hard to make it to the finale, but in the end he didn't make the cut. So I bet he's self concious about showing an old image of himself also maybe showing how Jonghyun was during the trainee times also now he's out in the public's eye he;s probably proving himself as a strong leader from the beginning. So he could be self concious of how he acts, how he scolds some members, not doing his best/living up to expectations that trainees and the oublic has for him because he already debuted before.

+ story

First Meeting ) When Jonghyun and Byul first met it was actually at a music show, when Evol was promoting their first (and last) comeback after a year from their debut, and Nu'est was promoting "Sleep Talking". Nu'est was the group performing after Evol and while Evol was going back to their music room after soundcheck, Byul and Jonghyun accidentally bumped into each other and it made Byul drop her mic, and Jonghyun being the gentleman that he is, he quickly bent down and picked up the microphone for her. And then as cliche as it might've sound as soon as Byul reached out for the mic, she touched his hands, and boom, she was feeling the red going to her cheeks, so did he.

However Evol wasn't around much because of lack of promotions being from a ty company. However because Byul is a fan of dying her hair, they usually met at the salon and got to know each other there. However, as Evol got less and less busy, they started to see each other less.

But I guess you can describe their meeting as "Like as First Sight" (?).

 (Inspo) So basically how Byul and Jonghyun would've acted around each other, at first was pretty awkward because he was actually 2 years younger than her, so he spoke formally with her at first. But after meeting a couple more times, Byul asked him if he could speak with the formalities because she could understand that it was awkward for both of them. So slowly, but surely they started to get closer with each other.

But let's be honest when it comes to liking someone, it's the hardest thing to do ever! Because you don't if they're into you like you are with them and it's the abolute worst if the one you like is a close friend. Because Nu'est and Evol were labelled as underrated groups and because both of them leaders they both knew hard it was to keep their members strength and mentalities up. So they exchanged numbers and soon they had someone to share their hardships with. They talked about their fears of not making it, letting their members now, they're not trying hard enough to be a good leader, etc. During their break time, they talked to each other from day to night when they had spare time.

However when Evol officially disbanded in 2015, that's when Byul and Jonghyun's relationship started to deterriate between them. As soon as Byul's contract expired and was going back to her normal life, Byul last messages to Jonghyun goes on the lines that she failed her team, her parents, herself and to Jonghyun. Because they both promised with each other that they were going to get through this. But her ultimate last message was, "I need to go back to my regular life. You still have a chance. Don't let me hold you back." Of course, Jonghyun was ultimatley hurt because Byul wanted him to focus on his career himself and he didn't have anyone else to lean on.

Then the 2 years that their relationship was put on a hiatus, they had to admit that they do miss each other, but neither one of them would've admited it for their own reason. Byul didn't want to distract Jonghyun from his already struggling idol career and Jonghyun didn't want to go against Byul's wishes. But yet they both go back on their phones re-reading their text messages from the past.

Flash forward to present, the two leaders meet again, but in better conditions are now just waiting for one of them to send the first message again.

+ I actutally don't expect these two to officially come together so quickly in the story, because it takes time to rebuild any kind of distanced relationship. But they develop a romantic change in the story.

So at this point, maybe Byul and Jonghyun are comfortable with each other now after their overdue meeting with each other in person. Because they can't go out in public that much anymore because y'know Dispatch is everywhere. So most of their communitcation with each other is text based.

However, Jonghyun being the mn that he is decided to call her first and started talking. Byul was confused because it was weird to hear his voice again personally take to her through the phone after so long. 

"I miss hearing your voice after such a long time. There's a lot of things I miss about you. How you always answer after your phone rings two times, you always send basic emoji's and not the ones you already have on your keyboard, I also miss you being the one to comfort me and telling me to just hang on a bit longer when Nu'est was failing. Is it selfish of me to ask for more of that?" Jonghyun asked, Byucouldn't breath because with her Korean drama knowledge, what he was saying could lead to a whole new different level to their reltionship.

"Hello?" Jonhyun asked after a few seconds of silence had gone by. "I'm sorry." Jonghyun apologizedto her after making things awkward, but Byul was quick to stop him from hanging up on her. 

"No! It's fine. It just took some time to let what your saying sink in, ya know? I miss those things too, I'm just scared."

"About what?"

"I like you."

"What do I do now? I was supposed to confess first..."

"What?"

"I like you too. Kay, goodnight!" With that Jonghyun hung up and was smiling from ear-to-ear about what had just happened. Byul was doing the smae except in a more discreet way because her members were probably already sleeping by now. 

Couple Trivia

+  when Jonghyun was on PD101 she voted for him the most, beside from Jang Moonbok

+ Whenever they are asked about their ideal types they always describe each other, but always mention another celebrities to to not reveal themselves
+ Ren always suspect that Jonghyun is dating someone, but always ends up believing that he's just checking u'est ankings on the music charts
+ Byul and Jnghyun have not said, "I love you" to each other yet, they are both waiting for the perfect timing
+ If they call each other during schedules they always excuse themselves to go to the washroom, so some people think that they have bowel issues
+ They do have some matching clothing, but they wear seperatley
+  If they were to reveal their relationship to the public they prefer to do it once they are not popular and/or retire from the entertainent industry
+  If fans were to ship them, their ship name would probably Byuhyun and or JB (you pick!)
