THIS MONTH'S BOY
white, white, white— why am i stuck here? haebin wakes up to find himself trapped in a box— but he’s not alone— there’s someone else trapped in another box near him. he wants to be freed— he can’t stand tight spaces at all. he hears a voice— complete the given tasks, collect the cereal, and you shall be able to meet the other person. like okay sure; really though— cereal? he could totally do this, he thinks to himself sarcastically. he finds himself and the other person, who he learns is a girl, completely menial tasks like fixing a puzzle or putting a book back to its rightful place, only to be rewarded by a measly few grains of chocolate cereal. the girl desperately thinks of ways to get more cereal whilst haebin grows discouraged when he can’t complete the tasks. but he remembers. he remembers how he hates the feeling of being trapped. he wants to be free. he drops the depressed act, and also starts thinking of how he can get more cereal. eventually the two finally meet, but their time together is short which haebin laments about in the song. however, the short-lived freedom was still so so sweet.
(um so like this one mv that i just had to choose didn’t have a plot so i made one up myself— basically what haebin desires and dreams of is freedom. the freedom to express himself, the freedom to write his own music, that sort of thing. i hope it makes sense lel)
WIPED
❝hi i speak memes, how about you?❞
FULL NAME kang, haebin [ 강해빈 ]
NICKNAMES
HAEBINNIE/HAEHAE/BINNIE — everyone ; oh you know, the usual nicknames that a lot of koreans give their friends. personally he likes being called 'haebinnie' the most.
MEMELORD — self-given ; he's an avid lover of memes, please expect him to send like 10 memes a day to the group chat just to annoy people. actually tried to convince his mom to let him legally change his name to this. of course she disagreed. the boy is devastated. or heartbroken. heartbroken works too.
THE DEVIL HIMSELF — probably the members ; while he wasn't born on june 6, 1996 (he wishes he was) he is certainly very sadistic, paired with evil laughter and mean, sassy comments to boot. he always has this evil smirk and rubs his hands menancingly when he's planning something really big. thus, calling him 'the spawn of the devil' was simply inadequate.
HAEDUSTBIN — probably ryo ; yes pun intended. but for a good reason! anything that comes out of haebin's mouth is absolute and utter rubbish, and trash belongs in the bin- haedustbin!
DATE OF BIRTH december 8, 1997 (22, 23 korean age in 2019)
BIRTHPLACE — seoul, south korea
HOMETOWN — seoul, south korea
ETHNICITY — korean
LANGUAGES
KOREAN — native ; born and raised in south korea for his entire life, though people like to doubt his authenticity because he likes to mispronounce words on purpose.
ENGLISH — or more like abba songs ; all his english knowledge comes from singing abba songs since his youth. his pronounciation and enunciation for said songs and nothing else are surprisingly amazing. don't actually speak to him in english though, he doesn't know jack . he'll probably reply by singing an abba song that has zero link to whatever you just asked him.
JAPANESE — just a little ; his bestie and partner in crime, ryo, is japanese so over the course of their friendship, haebin has picked up some japanese from the other boy, although most of it is limited to vocaloid songs to which he will scream "SEKAIIIII IDE ICHIBAN OHIME SAMAAAAA~" please don't ask him about vocaloids. ever.
MEMES AND EMOJIS — fluent af ; he speaks in memes and quotes vines more than he speaks in korean. someone take the internet away from this boy, please. texts with ryo in emojis. he's already tried texting the other members in emojis but seems like no one could decipher anything he was saying and just replied with question marks. no one except ryo.
❝full offense, but my legs look the best.❞
FACE CLAIM lee donghyuck/haechan of nct
BACK-UP kang chanhee/chani of sf9 and lee jeno of nct
APPEARANCE kang haebin is unique, in that his skin is a tad bit tanner than most koreans. while the boy takes it in his stride, others haven't been so kind, and constantly for having darker skin. he doesn't bother about them though, because it just means he's more special than them! (haebin please...) what does bother him though, is that his skin tone makes him look a lot older than he actually is, and coupled with the very prominent wrinkles around his eyes when he smiles, he looks like a grandpa. his face also takes on a more roundish shape and while his jaw isn't as sharp as so many other idols, he still thinks he could cut someone he can't. he also like to argue that he is certainly taller than 174 centimeters, and that he still has room to grow he doesn't and that he definitely only weighs about 65 kilograms. also insist that he has the best looking legs out of all the members, and loves having red hair the most because he thinks it makes him look fiiineee.
STYLE this boy right here, is like the biggest fan of hoodies. practice, hoodies. going out with ryo, hoodies. to the airport, of course it'll be a hoodie! he probably has hoodies in every single colour possibly available. definitely owns some cute hoodies too, like those with animal ears because those are adorable. usually pairs them up with jeans or sweatpants if he's going to practice. also likes to wear shorts and bermudas to show off his legs. sometimes likes to switch things up and wears a onesie to practice instead. someone stop him. one day he might show up with a meme on his hoodie. oh dear. also loves to wear those round harry potter glasses whenever he can.
"hey who said you could take my hoodie??"
"haebin you literally have 10 million hoodies avaiable, why can't i just borrow this one?"
"because i want to wear it today!"
"that's not what you said five seconds ago when you picked out your clothes for the day."

THE ENTERTAINER, esfp-t
a SAGITTARIUS SUN, SAGITTARIUS MOON
part of GYFFINDOR house, with an EAGLE patronus
LOVE HIM because he's charismatic, fun, creative, spontaneous
or HATE HIM because he's easily bored, sassy, sensitive yet insenstitive, prideful
"you want to know about haebin? well, strap up because you're in for one hell of a ride with this bee."
PERSONALITY
from the sun to the moon, kang haebin is a tried and true sagittarius. while he isn't a 'born leader' like the leos, he will agree that he is certainly more charismatic than others sometimes. he naturally draws people to him, and for some reason, they're always willing to listen. well... that boosts his ego by quite a bit honestly, and that is definitely what causes him to be more prideful and unwilling to back down from a fight, or admit if he's wrong. in his opinion, the only way to counter that issue is to be right all the time, and oh god, it can be such a disaster, especially if he feels like being extra sassy that day. yes, sass is this boy's middle name, and he will not hesitate to sass the out of you (if you guys are off camera, he tones it down a little if it's on camera because he doesn't want to die). he also tends to be a little savage with his words, and likes to talk the other guys down sometimes (yaja time is his favourite), but out of good fun, he would defend! it can be funny, but only at times!
as you can tell, he's rather insensitive with others' feelings, but haebin himself is quite sensitive. the words he spits are but to protect himself from others because he doesn't want to get hurt, although that's not an excuse to be mean to others, ryo would chatise. haebin himself can get quite affected by others' criticisms, especially if they're about his talents or his shortcomings, but he's been trying to become less affected by such things, and is learning to live as himself without a care for what others think of him. well, hopefully he doesn't become even sassier if he stops caring about others. but you know, there is one person who haebin will shower his care and concern on, and even lose sleep over. that person is ryo, his best friend since childhood; the one person he will wholeheartedly support. no one else will get that priviledge. he openly worries about ryo's condition and will always be the first one there when ryo needs someone. now, ryo is by no means a weak boy, but haebin won't feel at ease if he's not by ryo's side. it's a form of reassurance for the both of them, because haebin admits that he needs ryo too.
okay, let's get all the mopey stuff out of the way, and talk about the kang haebin you see everyday: kang haebin the entertainer. haebin is someone who can't sit still at all, and honestly if he wasn't an idol, he would be running around the mountains every day, or travelling to new countries to find new things to do. he's also quite the joker, always entertaining everyone with his witty and sometimes sassy comments, which make him really likeable. he usually can't stick his in one place for long, and always has to be doing something. the boys have free time in the waiting room? haebin is probably running around the building, or trying to convince someone to dance with him. if he could he'd be climbing trees, think of your image you dummy, ryo would scold him again. he's also always thinking of novel ways to do things, or modifying games to make them more enjoyable. he doesn't seem like the sentimental kind either, but he definitely is, especially when it comes to things he likes aka ABBA, MEMES, VINES AND VOCALOIDS. he will literally not shut up about them unless you tape his mouth shut, or feed him food. it's funny at first, but once you start hearing the same two abba songs (mamma mia and dancing queen) for about an hour straight, it starts to get old and annoying. but you know what, haebin's not going to stop. he will never stop.
BACKGROUND
haebin likes to categorise his life as 'before ryo' and 'after ryo', although it's obvious that the latter takes up a bigger percentage of the boy's life. 'before ryo' only lasted from 1997 to 2002, where our young haebin feels as though his life has negligible meaning, and is mostly rinse and repeat. wake up, go to school, play pranks on the class, go home, sleep, and repeat from step one. haebinnie is very bored everyday, he would complain to his mom. but she didn't understand, she never did.
and that's when 'after ryo' happens. one fine day in 2002, five-year-old haebin is doodling and thinking of new pranks to play on the girls, when his homeroom teacher introduces a new classmate: his name is fukui ryo, and he is a transfer student from japan! his homeroom teacher had announced. she said something else but haebin wasn't paying attention; he was too busy with his new grand plan! he cackled in his head, this was such an amazing plan! he barely notices the scrapping of the previously empty chair, and the soft thud of the bookbag on the table. he looks up, and is met with a curious gaze from an umfamiliar face. he opens his mouth:
"your eye is weird."
the other boy stiffens up and looks almost ready to burst into tears, but holds them in like a man haebin notes.
"well, your shirt is ugly!" the boy huffs before covering his mouth and squeaking an 'i'm sorry!' in very broken korean.
oh, he wasn't expecting that. haebin's actually a little hurt because POWER RANGERS ARE AWESOME.
haebin eyes the boy who's currently pulling out his pencil case and books. he gasps.
"iS THAT- PIKACHU!?"
his sudden outburst causes the other boy to almost fly off his seat and he turns towards haebin, "yOU LIKE POKEMON TOO??"
"I DO!"
"ME TOO!"
after that, they were glued to the hips. we'll be together forever and ever! thirteen-year-old haebin declares as they lie on the cool, damp grass after pe one day. 'after ryo' was and still is a very great period of time for haebin. he can't imagine what would have happened to him if ryo didn't. he protects ryo from stupid bullies who about his bad eye, and ryo constantly encourages haebin when he sees the latter's self-confidence dipping. they're pretty much each other's pillars of support. oh and don't forget that ryo always drags haebin into things he didn't ask for such as surprise surprise, mEMeS and vocaloids.
okay but back to the relevant stuff. ryo, in their middle and high school days became a vocaloid producer and a semi-utaite. of course he dragged haebin into it, because haebin really likes writing (though in a different way), and surprise surprise the boy can rap too, and was a decent vocalist. ryo sometimes enlisted the help of haebin with rap lyrics, and taught the boy japanese (and how to rap in it) in return. the japanese boy was definitely very talented, but haebin felt that he wasn't getting enough recognition for it.
so he came up with (yet another) very grand plan and on their graduation day, grabbed ryo randomly and went, "rYO mA BRO, we need to like, get your music out there, and SINCE WE ARE FINALLY OUT OF THIS HELLHOLE AKA HIGH SCHOOL-" ryo smacked his mouth shut at that, "aS I WAS SAYING- we should totally become idols so that you can produce all the music that you want! WHADDAYA SAY?"
well he didn't really give ryo a choice and dragged him to various companies for auditions. while both of them made an amazing duo (because dam ryo can sing like a boss and haebin is just amazing as a rapper), usually only haebin got accepted, whilst ryo was rejected due to his bad eye (and we know how the kpop industry is so highly based on looks). of course haebin doesn't take it sitting down, and goes "YO ES IT'S EITHER BOTH OF US OR NEITHER OF US. and SINCE IT'S NEITHER OF US- G00DBYE." and drags ryo off to the next audition.
after a few unsuccessful auditions, ryo breaks down, and genuinely asks haebin to go for the next audition alone because he doesn't want to hold haebin back anymore. of course, haebin disagrees and gathers ryo into his arms and goes, "no where is right without you, so no matter what you're coming with me AND DON'T EVEN TRY TO GET RID OF ME. there will definitely be a place where both of us will fit right in." ryo smacks him through his tears for being too cheesy.
but who would have guessed, they actually did finally get accepted somewhere, with open arms in fact, and i swear that's probably the first time haebin cried somewhere other than his room or ryo's room. and the cinema, 'cause he's a er for movies.
TRIVIA
LIKES — abba, memes, vocaloid (his fav is gumi), the colour red, strawberries, mangoes, annoying people with said memes, listening to ryo sing, HIGH NOTES BATTLES, eating don't forget eating, yaja time! (assuming he's not the oldest lmao that would be funny as heck though but after stalking the apps i think i'll have to move this to the dislikes LMAO), travelling to new countries.
DISLIKES — staying in one place for too long, lack of movement (he can't sit still for long car rides especially), diets (like fk them), vegetables (dieting has scarred him forever).
HOBBIES — singing abba and vocaloid songs, finding new places to travel to/to eat, finding new hobbies, rapping don't forget rapping.
HABITS — sings abba when he's bored, uses abba to introduce himself, sometimes sings abba in his sleep and also sings high notes sometimes (like haechan lmao), always rolls off his bed and kicks away his blanket, leans on ryo whenever the other boy is next to him, sassing people unconciously, chews for a very long time before swallowing, playing with someone's hair when he's bored or dancing around.
SPECIAL TALENTS — amazing at high notes (and will make you wonder how is he a rapper), can do a few situps while hanging upside down from somewhere- usually a tree, hello cleopatra game (really it's just him and ryo testing how high they can go)
ABBA — okay this requires a special explanation of its own. haebin is absolutely in love with the swedish band because of his parents- they used to listen and scream abba in the house, and it just rubbed off on him- or more like influenced him to be screaming abba all day. they have abba screaming contests at home yes.
ALTERNATIVE JOB — if he and ryo didn't become idols, he would either be helping ryo with producing or travelling around the world as a journalist of sorts. he can see himself doing both honestly.
EDUCATION — he's currently majoring in journalism in seoul university. thinks he would better if he wasn't an idol but he doesn't particularly care lol.
DRIVER'S LICENSE? — uh sure, he has one, but do you really want to sit in a car with him? and trust him with your life? i think not.
FEARS — nothing really, except being stuck and confined somewhere for extended periods of time.
HAS A VERY UNIQUE VOICE — his normal speaking voice is a tad bit higher than other guys, and he adds just a pinch of aegyo to it, so it becomes very unique and it shows in his rapping.
PET — he's always wanted a dog or cat but he's really not responsible enough for one. please don't try to gift him one either.
HIS ROLE MODELS? — fukui ryo and ryo fukui. yes they are the same person he is aware. and okay he will begrudingly admit that people like san e, jessi, tablo, g-dragon, top, etc are also part of those who inspire him.
ALWAYS WANTED TO CROSS-DRESS FOR FUN — please make it happen, especially since haechan has actually cross-dressed before and it was pretty convincing.
RAP LYRICS — he's always wanted to participate in the writing of the raps in songs. hopefully he'll get the chance this time!
DRINKING — oh he is a terrible drinker. he's the loud, singing kind of drunk who won't shut up until he's asleep.
SPARKLE SPARKLE — he likes to put his hands below this chin and flutter his eyes to give off the 'sparkling effect' as he calls it.
CONFIDENCE — he doesn't get nervous easily and he thinks that's a good thing.
KARMA BITES HAEBIN IN THE — while it usually seems like he's always bullying the other members, the younger members always get back at him.
DABBING — he (surprisingly) thinks dabbing is stupid af. why dab when you got more dank memes
COOKING — while you can't trust this boy with your life on the road, you can definitely at least trust him with your hunger issues, because he can cook fairly decently. he knows what he's doing in the kitchen, don't worry.
PASTTIMES — some of them would probably include going to beaches, not to swim but to walk, maybe going down to the han river if he can spare the time, in general he likes to walk a lot.
tExTs LiKE tHIs — yes he does. since the other members don't understand his emoji messages.
"AIIIGHT~" — always says this before he starts rapping. it's like his trademark. he's also a high tone rapper.
❝oh ma gawd, you're like ma new bestie!❞
FUKUI RYO (22) / bbc trainee / caelus' boy!
they talk to each other in memes and emojis, and constantly quote vines together. the emojis are practically like their own da vinci code because no one but the two of them can understand it. trust me, they've tested it out on other people, and obviously it didn't work so it's just a thing between the two of them now. they've known each other since their childhood, and practically know each other at the back of their hands. they're always there to rally the other and honestly, i don't think you can get a friendship any purer than ryohae's (yes that is indeed their ship name).
they're at the point where telepathy has become a thing between the two of them, like they can look the other in the eye and immediately get the point across. very handy for the whisper challenge especially. they share way too many inside jokes and just randomly giggle when one member says something. an example would be someone asked if they bought the mushrooms and they'd look each other and go "... mushrooms pFT!" while everyone else is going ???
they're super affectionate with each other, and won't hesitate to backhug the other (fanservice i tell you, fanservice) for no reason. they also link arms and lean on each other a lot.
probably everyone is confused as to why someone like ryo can stand someone like haebin but they don't know how haebin has stood by ryo through thick and thin, and vice versa. that's why they can act in such a way around each other. it's because of mutal trust. they're seriously attached to the hip, and someone once joked that where you find ryo, you'll find haebin- they're practically a packaged set.
also plot twist: ryo was the one who got haebin into memes and vocaloids and pretty much anything honestly.
OH YUNSEONG (22) / member of solaire / your boy!
yunseong was probably one of the few who did not hate on haebin the immediate second that he opened his mouth because firstly whatever haebin said to yunseong was probably a meme, and secondly, they were the same age. this doesn't stop haebin from sassing and memeing yunseong though. and calling him stupid. and i'm pretty sure yunseong is one of the few who acts as karma and bites haebin in the . not literally. but he will HAVE HIS REVENGE ONE DAY.
DAN UYEONG (24) / bbc trainee / sien's boy #1!
interactions tba
BRIAN YOO (18) / bbc trainee / sien's boy #2!
interactions tba i'm sorry i'm under attack by the dreamies rn i am not in the right state of mind on a side note our donghyuckie is looking so fiine. i can't call him hot yet since he's not legal but i shall call him alluring instead because look at his eyes SCREAMS okay im done excuse me.
❝너무 반짝반짝 눈이 부셔 nonononono~ what do you mean 'that's not our song'?!❞
STAGE NAME haebin ; he decided to just keep it simple for once- just kidding but okay he really wanted to be called 'meme' but no one else agreed so he didn't have a choice.
GREETING "MAMMA MIA! HAEBIN GOES AGAIN, MY MY HOW COULD YOU RESIST ME~ annyeong! solaire's haebin, is pleased to be at your service!" he does a mock bow with a wicked grin.
ANIMAL
BEE ; he's always up and about, busily flitting his way from place to place, so it really seems like he's as busy as a bee.
EAGLE ; in accordance to his patronus, which is a symbol of freedom and courage, and what he so desires despite being an idol.

LINE rap line, but also highkey lowkey vocal line — or the other way round if pet is his solo song
SECOND SONG it'd be good by hyeongseop and euiwoong, when i'm with you by park kyung ft. brother su — can i lowkey request the other boy to be ryo hahah OH OR lift off by wooseok ft. e'dawn
TALENT TWINS — park kyung (backup: eric nam)
TALKING TWIN — haechan of nct
TRAINEE YEARS two years in bbc (2017 to present)
TRAINEE LIFE right from the beginning, being a trainee made haebin feel like he just threw himself right back into school (he lowkey regrets it but oh well he dragged the two of them into this so it's his fault). strict schedules, extra lessons, out of training preparations, etc. oh he hated it so so much, especially since they involved being in the same room for extended periods of time. he really hated the monthly evaluations because it put ryo into high anxiety and high anxiety ryo = high anxiety haebin. thankfully, they always made it through the evaluations and after two very long years, they finally have their chance to truly show how they can shine.
i must also mention that becoming a trainee didn't stop haebin from his usual bright antics, aka screaming abba at the top of his lungs
PRE-DEBUT ACTIVITIES used to help ryo with rap writing when the latter was a producer/semi-utaite and sometimes featured in his songs.
HEADLINES
"SOLAIRE'S HAEBIN IS A BULLY?" ; post-debut, false — haebin's always seen pulling the other members into a headlock, or pranking them and netizens take it as signs of bullying, but honestly it's just how he shows his love for the other guys. plus they always get back at him.
"SOLAIRE'S RYO AND HAEBIN MORE THAN JUST FRIENDS?" ; post-debut, false probably — cue just be friends thank you. haebin and ryo are obviously super close, and there was once that ryo backhugged haebin on stage, and fans started chanting "kiss! kiss! kiss!" and ryo being a fanservice kind of guy, leaned over and kissed haebin on the cheek. and you know how like male idols usually shy away from such contact from their members? haebin straight up let ryo kiss his cheek with no resistance. of course, some idiot blew the whole thing up.
❝ah~! shot through the heart!❞
FULL NAME i would really like for haebin to be matchmade! but if it's not possible, it's totally fine to let him be alone! caelus and i were saying that if ryohae ended up happening anyway we'd be lmfao in real life XD
BACK-UP none
OCCUPATION — member of solaire
TRAITS PROBABLY TOLERANT AND UNDERSTANDING
PERSONALITY who else would be able to stand someone like haebin :')
LOVE STORY i'd say they probably met as trainees, and l/i walked in on haebin doing something stupid.
INTERACTIONS oh l/i would definitely hate haebin at first. he definitely would. but i guess over time, he gets to know haebin better and sees how he actually does have a caring side (which comes out with ryo) and isn't always this sassy lil head.
STATUS — ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ENDING — up to you!
TRIVIA
THE QUESTION IS: WHO TOPS? — :)
❝who said you were leaving just yet?❞
FINAL WORDS please hover the center gifs in the relationship section for some quotes :') and hello there! my laptop died halfway while i was writing this so here's round two of comments section LOL. okay so i'm really glad i found this applyfic and i'm so so blessed to have been able to collab with the amazing caelus (Randomfan101) on our boys, haebin and ryo :') anyway, i really hoped you like my memelord, satanic boy here hehe! and again, i really liked your drabbles! also i’m super sorry for the trashy mv explanation because i was like ??? the whole time i was writing it XD if you want me to change it i totally can!!
SCENE REQUESTS
— mEMe TiMes with ryo, haebin and yunseong!
— the guys getting confused at ryo's and haebin's emoji messages
— revealing that ryo is indeed a closet meme and everyone is just so stunned and haebin's just there going 'heh, i've known this for so long already losers.' and taking multiple pics for he and ryo to make into memes.
— soft ryohae moments PLS like that one time ryo cried in between the period that they were auditioning
— okay, i need to see the boys running away from their managers- like infinite on sesame player if you know what that show is?
— i so need a reality show- i think loona has something called 'loona tv' right? then i saw this applicant suggesting we call it the 'solaire system' instead of 'solaireverse' so maybe the show can be called that too?
— oh caelus and i really need to see them go on weekly idol! and you know how haebin calls ryo 'ryoly poly' and does the roly poly dance and all? we were thinking that haebin would so fight to be the one to introduce ryo like that but gets shot down by doniconi and he's just there OTLing in the corner with ryo patting his back LOL. then he becomes the of every joke in weekly idol after that.
— also bonding time for the boys before/after debut! like i need to see heart-to-hearts! like maybe they can talk about what pushed them to become idols and all!
— okay i swear i'm done, but can we also see karma biting haebin in the because that would be funny af.
PASSWORD LUNARIS — basically i was thinking, since SOLAIRE is the sun, their fandom must be the moon, and this i pulled out lunaris from nowhere (jk i think i saw another applyfic called lunaris in the past and just thought it’ll fit here better haha) omg also can i suggest a hyung subunit and a maknae subunit cuz like the hyung line can perform boss while the maknae line performs stuff like we young :p then like when they have concerts they can switch cuz imagine the hyung line trying to act cute- i'm dead.
sakura-hoshi + aria + like 99% tbh
