ELABORATION —
• The type of person that Adrian is that he is loud and energetic person. With his EDM music background it is easy to understand why he is like this. Especially while on stage, he would either screw around with other members on stage like other kpop groups or he 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 Vibrant was, not matter what time of day it is; either it be out on the streets or on a variety show he could turn it in a party, it was like a gift. The only people who can really stop him is either the leader or manager. However his 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 Adrian is considered annoying and would annoy the other members. Due to his adventureous personality he tenders do reckless things as a way of seeking a new adventure. The amount of energy he has amount of energy he has is the equivalent to a kid high on sugar he would constantly trip over when running on stage or on a variety show.
BACKGROUND + CURRENT EVENTS —
• Adrian's parents lived in Korean, it wasn't until 1992, three years before he was born he 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 Adrian was born on the 18th of July, 1994 in Amsterdam and was mostly raised by he mother while he father focused on working so the family can live comfortably. However when he was 10 years old he mother died due to cancer. He 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 Adrian's life.
Over the years Adrian developed an interest in house music and EDM; listening and creating music of his own. So in senior years of high school he sent demos of he music and an application to music label Spinnin' Records. They were really impressed with the music he created so he was accepted. While working in on finding he own unique style he met Martin Garrix; another aspiring young DJ which he really connected with even though he found that both of their sounds of music were different. He had been working under Spinnin' Records for about 6 months when famous DJ Don Diablo approached he and talked to he about his record label Hexagon which is a sub-label within Spinnin' Records. he had a look at the types of artist in Hexagon and found that the music that was being produced were similar to hes. So he thought that Hexagon would help he develop he music and he as a person. So he ended up joining with Don Diablo volunteering to be he mentor. While working under Hexagon he music style grew and he music techniques improved. He soon saw Hexagon as he family and how they were willing to protect other artist and members of Hexagon, however he was still an underground DJ. When learning different styles of music and different mixing skills he worked with different artist. He saw singing like a new challenge. His previous singing experience was mainly in the shower or doing chores around the house. But while at Spinnin’ Records and watching vocalist working with other DJs sparked his interest and saw singing professionally as his next challenge that he wanted to try. But it wasn’t until he was under Hexagon that he finally decides to seek advice from vocalist working there and try it out himself. While creating music at Hexagon he spotted people out on the streets of Amsterdam dancing a certain style of dance to house music. he continued to obsereve and later found out that the dancing style was called cutting shapes so he decided to do a little research. He started taking dance lessons to learn the dance techniques and after that his dance teacher told him to use the dance technique to turn it into his own style.
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. That was when Adrian suggested that he could try becoming a Kpop idol. Say that it would Hexagon reach a larger audience and that he really had he big break yet. Thinking that it's an interesting idea and what Adrian 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 contacted TS Entertainment to work this whole thing out. Most of Adrian's contact with TS was though video call and told he to tell them what aspect he has to offer to TS. He sent in a video and audio version on he singing All I Ever Wanted by Michael Brun he recorded in the studio. A video of he style of dancing and a few tracks of he music that he created. After a while of not hearing anything TS contacted Hexagon and he was finally told that he got accepted. After that he and other higher ups of Hexagon organised a contract saying that he is under both TS Entertainment and Hexagon. Even though the main purpose of this whole contract was for publicity most the tracks that Adrian produces that don’t include any other Vibrant members Adrian legally owns with the backing of Hexagon. The tracks that includes other members of Vibrant, Hexagon of course won’t fully own it but they do have a legal grip on part of it (in case TS try to snatch it from Adrian). One of the conditions of the contract was that Adrian must attend Ultra Music Festival Seoul every year as part of his activities for Hexagon. Even if he isn’t performing, he still must attend. If TS were to try anything that violated it the contract would be terminated and Adrian would return to Amsterdam immediately.
He told his dad and at first his dad was kinda hesitant about letting his son move to Korea but with a lot of convincing and the thought that his son should live his own life. After Adrian moved he would constantly worry about his son and called him every week. Adrian would always reassure his dad and after a while his dad’s paranoia decrease and they both decided to call one another every 2-3 weeks. But his dad would still worry.
RELATIONSHIPS —
• Mentor - Don Diablo (37) - DJ/Producer - Bubbly, Energetic, Creative, Kind (especially to fans) - They both started off as mentor and mentee. But as he improved and got more confident with creating music their relationship turned into more of an older brother to Adrian. After Adrian joined TS Entertainment they would call or facetime each other. Since both of them are on the opposite sides of the world. Adrian would still ask him for advice about performing in front of large crowds or about music producing.
• Best Friend - Martin Garrix (21) - DJ/Producer - Energetic, Wild, Prankster - He met him while working at Spinnin Records. He was so energetic that Adrian gets tired from being around him. He would always invite Adrian on stage at music festivals to join him on the turn tables. They have made out but nothing happened after that; they just continued to be friends. When they meet up after not seeing each other for a long period of time the first thing they would do is jump in a car and go for a drive with no particular destination and would just have a carpool karaoke.

TRAINEE YEARS — 1 year and 9 months
TRAINEE LIFE — When Adrian started to train as a TS trainee, the trainers told him that he should focused more on dancing learning different styles and techniques. As he learned he applied it to his own dance style. Most trainees saw him differently and some were even jealous of him because he didn't have a proper audition like the rest of them. However when he made an effort to break down the walls between him and the other trainees and people started to get to know her they found that he is fun to be around. After about 6 months in as a trainee he wanted to try and train his vocals. When he was still back in Amsterdam he learned add vocals to other DJs track most of the time the vocals of the tracks he did were more so to enhance the music. But at TS he learned to sing so that the vocals were the main aspect of songs. At first he was a bit scared of going on stage to perform due to the fact that when he was performing on stage back when he was a DJ he was always behind the turn tables making music that the audiences could enjoy. But when it came to performing as a kpop idol he felt that he is vulnerable because the stage was open and he wasn't just singing but also dancing. But over time he would get use to the stage his fear would disappear.

LOVE STORY —
• Daniel first noticed Adrian when he was backstage watching Adrian and the rest of his group perform. After their performance something happened backstage to the next group that was suppose to perform next which held up schedule. Adrian saw a DJ turn table backstage so he told s that they should get back on stage to help the producers buy some time. After all the members of Vibrant agreed they told the producers about the plan which the producers were told themto get onstage. At first the audience and other kpop groups backstage were confused as to why Vibrant were back onstage. But that all soon disappeared when Adrian stepped behind the turn tables and started DJing while he and the rest of his group members hyped up the audience till everyone was turnt. Seeing how Adrian is not only quick at handling this situation but also how talented he at making music and reading the audience's reaction sparked Daniel's interest. After that Daniel started to observe him from a far. The more he watched Adrian the more interesting he seems. He only started talking to Adrian when Wanna One and Vibrant were together on a variety. One that show Daniel found how energetic and adventureous Adrian can really be. After that they both became friends and started hanging out together more often. Along the way Adrian started to develop a crush on Daniel which is new to him since he's never really liked anyone that way before. Well he did make out with his best friend Martin a few years ago but nothing really happened after that. But the feelings he felt for Daniel were completely different in a whole new way for him. On Daniel's side, he fell hard for Adrian but didn't know when it really happened. Wanna One members noticed it too and would tell Daniel to ask the boy out already but Daniel is too scared to. But then when Adrian is either talking to or about his best friend Martin Garrix Daniel would get super jealous 1. because he thinks that there is a possiblity that Martin might take Adrian away and 2. he's jealous that Martin knows Adrian longer than he does. So far they have only kissed each other on the cheeks which would make both their faces go red. But whenever they try and go in for a real kiss they would always get interupted by something or someone.
RELATIONSHIP — They are in that middle area of being friends and being together. Adrian is the type of person that would hang around the person he likes as much as possible even though he has pretty much no experience in dating. The two would cuddle a lot and would get really touchy feelly with each other.
-Whenever Adrian is either hanging out or face timing his best friend Martin, Daniel would get really jealous.
STATUS — They are more than friends but not quite in a relationship yet. (Cause no one has the balls to make the first move.)
FINAL WORDS —
Man; this took a while but I hope you like Adrain.
SCENE SUGGESTIONS —
• Weekly Idol Appeareance
•In a group interview the interview was talking about how Adrian's DJing hyped up the audience at the end of an Award show a few days ago. But the other members were saying that he was really holding back at that time because their manager told him to. Unlike the time when Adrian took to of his members back stage of Ultra Music Festival in Seoul where they really saw how crazy and how he can really let loose with the audience while DJing. (At about 1:40 till end of
this video is how hyped her and the crowd can really get)
