THIS MONTH'S BOY
One small sip of gold and two nibbles on silver transcend Kaho into a land where he ruled. Where puny men and women did his bidding, and those who looked up only saw admiration and desirability. He was a leader, but below him the land is ill, dying of Kaho's wish. But Kaho has to much control to care. His dream of prosperity, power, wealth has taken him. He has become less than any human being. He is now a part of his own dream as a waking nightmare. Yet not all has died.

PERSONALITY 
Kaho can be described as someone that many people want to look up too. He has a striving nature, working towards his goals and dragging the 'burdens' with him. He has always has a fuel, and can know when he is being fooled. Truly a folk hero. But more or less there is a softer, more pliable that he doesn't show a lot. A complete 180 to how he is portrayed in his wealthy greedy image.
 
He is a man of his own and others. He'd make sure to bring someone for the ride of the lifetime. Selfless as his peers would describe him. Someone who'll always make sure you come on the ride and you aren't left behind. Seeing through dishonesty is a skill, and Kaho has that in spades. He can easily see through your lies, because he knows lies all too well. On top of seeing through lies he ends up being kind around those he insights as not feeling that good of a mood today. He has always been the type of person to see through everyone even if it's a bit uncalled for. Persuasion is i Kaho's arsenal. Many say the kinder you are the more believable you become. And being a kind person, Kaho ends up becoming very convincing, he has a way with words which entrance you to believe his words must be true. They are soothing to hear and delicately decorated. Giving him a nice tone of 'you can trust him'. When Kaho has to come to it, he is actually quite smart and decisive. He always knows what he wants by just seeing it, no umms or oohs to be said. He can easily and quickly chose something even if their is pressure. He has a massive driving force, always placing 100% of what he does into everything. Determined yet timid about it, as he doesn't stress easily. He is one of those people that you could feel the determination, with Kaho you can see his determination.
 
Harsh critisims, a bad comment can go wrong, although he doesn't show it can deeply affect Kaho. He has a soft heart, and it can be easily hurt, when teased or someone close to him is hurt badly. But he chooses to hide it away, mostly due to his 'hyung' position of being strong, so he doesn't show it often but he is easily hurt. Despite being a bumbling theater kid, he stays reclusive. Releasing private information, secrets only to those he believe will keep it themselves. He chooses the facade of being the 'nice' boy to hide what he truly feels. Most importantly just so that his private life come to a light. So in public situations he chooses to stay quiet and let the kids have their have fun. But when Kaho is let loose, he can become an ultimate neat freak. In the eyes of Kaho everything has to be perfect otherwise it just unacceptable. He always be active if something is out of position, or some boys are out of order. He always has a neat room and one speck might cause him to explode. He will even pester others to be perfectionists like him, and in his eyes should be encouraged. Kaho has a fuel, and if something just disinterests him, might seem hopeless, he will 'burn out' of whatever that was. He always needs something, an impending end goal to keep him hooked otherwise you'll lose him to something else that show some more promise. One thing is that you might except to be instantly forgivin by someone like Kaho, someone who is insightful and overall kind towards others, but he isn't. If you hurt someone else then he won't forgive you, more like it isn't to get an 'I forgive you' from him. He ends up holding onto that sorry forever and as it replays in his mind, he still won't spare a moment to forgive you.
 
BACKGROUND 
Growing up Gaho had always been enthralled with the culture of Musical Theater. Ever since he was young his parents had taken him to watch numerous musicals that came to his home city of Busan, and he loved it. He always had this adrenaline rush and excitement when he went to musicals.  This of course prompted his parents to start giving him vocal, dancing and acting classes from the young age of 5. The classes were really eccentric, just like how Gaho liked it, but he was always a top student. He was so passionate about it that he clearly outshined the other kids. So much so that the trainer recommended him to audition for a musical called Les Miserables as a character named Gavroche.
 
So in his 3rd year of middle school, he moved to Seoul to just that, audition. He never really got a grasp from his parents on why they chose to move, only just to support their son. The audition went very well and that faithful phone call came that he scored the part. He was easily the most experienced kid actor out of all of them. It became clear that Gaho loved the stage, the art, the hollers from the audience really did inspire him to continue, even if he was only a back-up dancer. He continued for the longest time in musical theater loving every moment of it. He balanced school life and successfully graduated high school. But his true time to shine happened when he was 19. He scored the role of Count Dracula in Dracula. You should've heard the cry of his grandmother when he said that. It was his first ever main lead role and he was nervous. But luckily he did relatively well. He was praised for taking a different take on the character, making him more serpent like rather than regal. 
 
Now he studies in Yonsei Unviersity in a Musical Theater degree.

FROM A TO Z
RELATIONSHIPS 
 
Oh Yunseong, 21, Fellow SOLARIE Member, YUNYUN
Yunseong was one of the first to really approach Kaho kindly and warm heartily. Of course Kaho clicked with him, finding him comfortable to be around. He is honestly jealous that Yunseong can sing so easily in the style of RNB. Of course, with Yunseong oh so happy facade Kaho seems to find it very easy to read Yunseong, almost reading him like a book. He knows when the kid's unhappy or sad.
 
THAT DOOR HAS OPENED
STAGE NAME Kaho + His real name is Gaho, so Blockberry just changed 'G' to a more stylish 'K'.
GREETING Hello I am Solarire's Royality, Kaho! + A reference to his concept of dictatorship in royalty
ANIMAL King Cobra (Backup- Lion) 
COLOUR Gold #BCA751  + The color of royals. (Backup- Purple #841b85 + color symbolic of royalty and vanity)
 
LINE VOCAL
FIRST SONG  꽃 (FLOWER), ft Unknown Rap line Member(?) + This song is an epic homage to the intense fantasy dream that Kaho is living, and how corrupt he has become over it. The song takes about his desire to have you take his hand and trust him to rule his kingdom with full might.
If taken then, Tarantallegra
SECOND SONG Reach +  This song is a calmer tone than 'Flower'. The song is about reaching for his lover that he has already lost, and the humanity that went with her.

TRAINEE YEARS 2017-2019
TRAINEE LIFE 
Kaho didn't get into the idol industry till late, if you could say 22 was late. It was only after high school he ever conceived the simple idea of debuting in an idol group, just in case the musical theater career falls south. It didn't but it was chance. At a faithful audition for Titanic he was scouted by a Blockberry Creative scout who by chance was there. 
 
Acing the audition was step 1, step 2 was actually adapting, which was surprisingly hard. First off, the complete culture shock from going to practice musicals, to hard core dance practicing to the tune of hip hop, a genre he never thought he'd be dancing too. Of course the style of music caused him to really push himself. He struggled a lot in the beginning, and didn't really make a lot of advancements, most of them came to him. Of course still keeping an ear out for auditions was becoming tougher with the constant pressure of trainee life. He later denied many different sorts of auditions because he wanted to stay on top of training hood. Starting late did give him a sort of stigma if you want too from trainers. When they first hear his age they ask where he trained before hand, and he has to say he never trained before. But luckily for him he was able to have a some sort of background in musical theater. This gave him an advantage in vocals, having better overall technique than others, but that technique began to fade as he learnt to sing and dance at the same time. His lovely, developed voice had suffered. Dance was hard to get passed first but endless nights allowed him to catch up. But when he was confirmed for SOLARIE, it was surprising that he was allowed to stick to his roots, as he was given a very theatrical song. He isn't complaining though.
