personality   

► STEP ASIDE PEASANTS, YOUR GRACE IS ARRIVING. If there ever was a Diva in K-Pop, step aside bro, cuz Jong Un is coming for that spot and believe me when I say he's the definition of it. Nobody knows where it comes from but he has those special airs and graces, being a spoiled brat thoroughly and pushing others around as if they were his servants the whole day as he pleases. He thinks he's the and he doesn't make a secret out of it. Everyone, be enlightenend! All of you poor souls shall know about the greatness of Im Jong Un! So it may be! May it be Jong Un! The meaning of 'love yourself' comes to a completely new level regarding Jong Un. His megalomania is hitting another planet, that's how giant it is. No wonder antis come up with references to NK leader Kim Jong Un (and because it's fun playing with their names), but (Im!) Jong Un would just laugh over it and answer like "Dictator? Sure, I'm the Dictator of your heart, babe." because seriously... who would ever think that he is not absolutely awesome? Did I mention how delusional he can be? Oh, I didn't? But I don't need to? Aight. Anyway... how can you judge this boy harshly? He's still so young! And that is why he never changed... because in his younger years nobody ever told him to stop (not as if he would have ever listened), saying that he was young and cute and would grow out of this behavior. Guess what - he didn't!

► THIS IS WHAT I CAME FOR. For whatever he does, if he does it, there must be passion behind it. And if there is passion, he is going to be an All-In person. As a very persistent person when it comes to things he likes, he's one of those people who work all night. Maybe even comparable to a workaholic but once he loses interest in things, he'll drop them like that beat on yesterday's party. Jong Un doesn't even look at stuff or people he doesn't like. Because royals don't bother with that . His time is precious, why would he even give a in that case. Jong Un is a hot mess that can't hide who he really is. He is talented, that's for sure, but his character doesn't get the best of him for others. Company staffs always have to clean up the chaos he causes and with such a passionate (in both negative and positive ways) person, trouble is assured 100%. Controversials? Dating scandals? Fights? Just being him in public? Fans defend him with their hearts and souls while antis hate him just as strong. But talented and hard-working as he is, plus the amount of shameless luck he has, he grew to one of those persons that "revolutionize the K-Pop industry" (Quote Jong Un - done). Granted, despite being some pretty dumb and careless person, he still manages to learn super quickly thanks to his quickly ignited fire of interest and always delivers pretty good performances. You can't take that away from him. He might be an awful person but he still is a great artist.

► I'D EVEN DYE MY HAIR BLONDE FOR YA - I CAN BE YOUR JUSTIN BIEBER. Whatever he wants, Jong Un has his ways to achieve what he is longing for. Mostly because of his way of extreme acting. There is no thinking for him. He is a man of action. And is there even a limit of how far he can go for it? Not really. He does believe that what he gets is granted, that he is destined to get that far, that a higher power loves him as much as he loves himself. So, he never even accepts a "No". Who would even dare say No to him? Can that actually happen? Not in his world. He interprets others' words always the way he wants and needs them for himself and his self-esteem, so others always get iffy about important things he tells them and knowing that he will always deform their words without even questioning what he's doing gets them really annoyed as well. His stubbornness yet is something remarkable that some people actually might admire. He also is super straight-forward, there's no thing like being half-heartedly for him. If something crosses his mind, he most of the time wishes to tell the others and since he's also very impatient, he's just throwing his brainfarts and idiocy at others as if he was shooting them with a machine gun. Doesn't help that he isn't of the clever kind, either...

► TO THE BEAUTIFUL ME. Reputation indeed is all if you want to survive in today's Korean society, especially in Korea's music industry. Freelancer Jong Un still couldn't care less about that pathetic way of thinking. He wants to come out big as the person he is and honestly spoken, he's the worst actor ever, he'd never manage to hide who he is. But who is Im Jong Un put aside all the already mentioned facts? He doesn't really care about education (gosh, never ask him about history or politics, this kid doesn't know anything about it but would still try to talk about it), he doesn't care about rules, he couldn't care less about what others think of him. Good thing, he is charming to make others believe he's a loveable idiot. His narcissism might be one of a kind but since he goes all the way even if he makes a fool out of himself, he still has some people who admire him for that. He's funny to watch, so his fans say. He's lovely and cute, they say. He is who he is, who he wants to be, he's not faking what kind of person he is - the main reason lots of youngsters admire him. Because he doesn't hide his true colors, he does mistakes everyone does, he's just not another fake, perfect idol people find everywhere. He's authentic. Even if he's an idiot. But that idiocy might in the end break his neck as the controversial guy he is, always seeking for the attention of everyone and ultimately being one of the medias' favorite idols when it comes to find reasons ripping them apart. He delivers just beautifully much to rant about. G-Dragon's scandals were huge? Wait for this child to launch. Beware, everyone. Bull is coming.

likes —
► Simon D, Outsider and G-Dragon: His favorite Korean rappers and rolemodels. His idol target is G-Dragon among these. During interviews he often mentions how he wants to reach out for G-Dragon... so he can be the Dragon Slayer that surpassed the G to the Dragon and take his spot on the top of the K-Pop industry.

► Girls are the joy of a man's life. And this ladies' man loves them especially. Watching them... touching them... but listening to them is not one of his biggest strenghts, in all honesty.

► Variety Shows are one of his favorite activities besides performing. It's an easy way to get the spotlight with shows that are basically there to star you in. He just doesn't like it when they're scripted (what they are most of the time) and just goes with his own lines. Who cares about what the director wants you to say? It's not authentic if you can't say what you want to say at that moment. 
 
► Styling products and even make-up are what he loves to use and test. He'd leave the bathroom and bedroom or whatever location he's at when he starts unpacking his styling kit in a mess, though. This child is a messy idiot, expecting others to clean up after him.

► Jong Un loves to get presents, so of course he loves fan gifts even more. He often posts on his social media what he needs and wants and waits for the fans to send him everything.
 

dislikes —
► You want to get him super pissed? Then take away from him whatever he is longing for. He might be a delusional but if he gets his desired stuff taken away from him right in front of his eyes, he's going to be a salty . Not that you ever want to explore the wrath of this Diva. But just so you know.

► Honorifics, oh yeah, those piss him off, too. If possible, Jong Un tries to avoid them any time. Sunbaes in the industry are no exception. He wouldn't even bow fully. Why should he? Just because you're older than me doesn't mean you're more important, duh.

► Getting up early in the morning is absolutely not his thing. The person in charge of getting him up has found a very sad fate. Jong Un is terribly grumpy in the mornings.

► Quizzes and basically everything that is about using your brain. He hates that. History is in the past, who needs that ? Maths? That's why he has a calculator on his phone. Languages? Learn Korean, man. This is just exhausting, eh.

► Kids. Want to get him to be on Superman returns? Are you on drugs? Kids hate him just as much as he hates them. They are loud, they drool and they smell weird. They are only fun to watch when they stumble and fall to the ground with their faces ahead.
 

funfacts —

► His life time creeds are the lines "Excuse my charisma" and "I am what I am".

► He is the King of Scandals and the Walking Nightmare of every manager. Surge member got caught partying and drunk wandering through Gangnam? ... that's Jong. Someone openly insulted another idol? JONG, DUDE, U SERIOUS?! New girlfriend issues AGAIN?! JOOOOOOOONG!... HEY! WHY ARE YOU DRINKING WODKA IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY?! WATER?! THAT'S NOT WATER!!! 

► During school years he got bullied because of his name. He got to use the bully attacks the other way round though by either really acting up like a (back then) son of a dictator or coming up with own catchphrases. His favorite that he developed further is "I am Im Jong Un - Dictator of your ."

► Jong Un manages to pick fights with idols that you'd never expect to end up in an official fight with someone.

► Fans and Antis both call him a Man-Child because of his grumpiness, saltiness and whiny personality whenever stuff is annoying him. That's good, though. Jong Un would probably be pissed being called a Diva. That's how you call girls, not guys after all.

► He is often copying his co-members to make fun of them in an exaggerated way.

► Infamous as one can be, the habit that got him the most of it is that he can't stop anywhere. He's even going down trying full out. And don't ever try to stop him, no matter how embarrassing it is. If he risks his neck with careless talk, just leave him be. He can handle it. But you can't handle him getting salty because you interrupted him. Believe me. Just let it happen. Shhht.
 
► Flirting like it's nobody's business. He doesn't even stop in front of fans. He thinks that one girl is cute? She is in line for someone else during a fansign? He's still going to try hook her up and tell her that she's so beautiful he wants her to be his children's mother.

► Smoking - try to get his cigarettes away from him and he'll high-kick you out of the window. Heard about those trainees being scolded by fans and media because they ruin their voices by smoking? He's one of them. But he justifies it with his low voice needing to get smoked, so it's better than before.

► MCing: Don't, just don't, give this guy a mic to talk. He'll talk until tomorrow with no end in sight and he'll blurt out all the bull that is farting in his head. He doesn't get to be an MC often after he messes up one of his MC jobs by pulling just another Jong Un but deep in his heart he truely believes that he's also born to be South Korea's most loved MC.

► Clubbing & Drinking: Excessive drinking and partying is nothing new to Jong Un and he knows all the DJs you have to know to get into clubs for free. He still goes for VIP tables every time. VIP rooms? How about no? Jong needs to show the whole world what he's doing after all. He also has a talent of getting to know people to not only get him masses of booze but enable him to pull another G-Dragon (if you know what I mean).

► Social Media: He's an addict. His overuse of social media is almost frightening and gets tiring for some of the members of his group and even fans. He did a dab while sneezing? Gotta do it again and post it. Oooooh, my eye has that beautiful reflection in it - gotta post that, too. Someone just said something utterly stupid - I will share that, just you wait and see! Clubbing with the boys? One of them probably is right there to encourage him taking another picture of it. Or they're petty enough to post it on their very own social media. Be sure that Jong Un is going to comment at it! Basically everywhere to be found as King_Jong and he is infamous for spamming people on every possible device and format.

► Overwatch: Jong is a filthy Genji main that'll you for picking "his" character. He'd reluctantly choose Hanzo but'll complain the entire time. Also... yeah, he's pretty bad at this game.

the story. 

background — 

► STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM NOW I'M HERE. Born to a pretty average couple in Busan, Jong Un grew up having an even more average life... but he wouldn't be Jong Un if he didn't think he was meant to be so much more than just a random kid in a big city. From the cradle he knew he wanted to be so much more, so even as a kid he wanted to be like those idols on TV. Just a lot better. However, his parents didn't support him in any of this. Not because they didn't love him. Heck, they loved him too much, why would he end up as such a spoiled kid otherwise?! But yeah, with not a lot of money they had and their only child wishing to pursue a path that wasn't too promising in any way, they immediately told him to forget about it. Jong Un auditioned multiple times for Entertainments and passed them but because of his stubborn parents he was never allowed to get into one... what he had to do to convince force them to finally let him do what he wanted? Hahaha... this kid ruined his entire academic career so his parents would stop pushing him to study instead of practice. He messed with every single teacher, didn't pass any classes and almost got expelled from school. Jong Un also was able to make the absolute wrong friends back then. Busan as the hot spot of Gundal community had him get in touch with some youngsters that knew where to get tattoos and all the good even while being underaged. So when he arrived back home one day, all drunk and tattooed, guess what the situation looked for him like. His parents saw through what he was doing there but didn't know any way out. They could have send him to a boarding school... but there was no money to do that, the only way left being sending him to Seoul, where he signed under some random company. 

► TRAINEE LIFE AIN'T NOTHING YOU EXPECTED. For a whole year Jong Un trained under said entertainment questioning if his decision was right. For someone so into something this sounds weird, right? But being trained in idol rapping, idol singing and idol dancing, he felt like he was missing something very important. Something that would make him different from others. He never wanted to be average, even among idols. There must have been a way hidden somewhere to become a shining star, a lot different from others... but where was it? Where was the key to the real deal ? The key to what he was looking for arrived in form of another trainee who had the whole Hip Hop background and showed him some real Hip Hop that got him hooked quickly. And thanks to that certain friend Jong Un started to explore more.

►FRIENDS FOR ETERNITY...OR SOMETHING.  Talking about that friend... after the company both of the boys trained under went bankrupt, they were left with nothing but to audition for other companies. While said friend left for auditions, Jong started to try his luck on some of the open Hip Hop stages and came to meet Park Suhan. Park Suhan showed him the world, the real Hip Hop community, he showed him what it meant to be a real rapper. And so Jong Un learned and got better to the point where a crazy idea struck him. As Jong Un saw more potential in him and Suhan, he told his newly made friend that they'd make it big if they managed to get some exposure on TV. So, together they applied for Show Me The Money and tried to make it big. When they started and became friends at first, Suhan was so much better than him... He knew what he was doing, he had the flow and the technique that most of idol rap coaches weren't able to teach. He gave Jong Un's rapping life, a unique soul. A soul that fully came to flourish during SMTM. Thanks to Suhan who came up with lots of rap ideas he discarded during the show, Jong Un grabbed one or two, recycled them and performed them in his very own unique style and BOOM that was how he got to score high every time after this. His real talent lies in taking what others give him and make something better out of it. Jong Un calls this his "turning to Gold" skill. And it's actually what allowed him to make it big. While Suhan didn't last long during SMTN, Jong lasted longer due to Suhan constantly helping him out. It was the perfect mixture. Suhan who offered the base while Jong did the polishing. As you see, Jong is a person that can't produce completely on his own as everything would turn out over the top despite all of his skills... but he manages to take others' stuff on and give it a package that guarantees success.

► I'M THE BIGGEST HIT ON THE STAGE, MOTHERF*****S. Let's not say Jong is stealing. But he somehow does. It was WINNER's Minho he was paired up with during the show and who he stole from to become one of those many lightening rapper stars on the horizon. Minho actually wrote the song "Okey Dokey" alone as he thought that Jong Un would be too dumb to produce something worthy being to be published. Anyway, Jong Un got to sneak into the production process, stole the entire script and rewrote it to hand it in last minute when he knew no modifications would be allowed anymore. Song Minho was confronted with a fait accompli and had to go with what Jong Un had wanted him to. They scored high. And the producers started to keep an eye on the young guy who despite being a little , had actually some luck and skill. As the news spread, Jong Un was approached by many artists after SMTM ended and wrote a few songs that did well in the Korean music bizz. Jong Un remained without any entertainment, thus was approached by many. The big ones refused to work with him due to his controversial nature, yet smaller ones were hoping to profit of him but got turned down by Jong after they refused to allow him bang their female idols/trainees. It got him some time to realize that no company would ever allow him to, but luckily it happened. So he eventually ended up with Park Studios. It was a question of who offered the most benefitial situation... and of who didn't piss Jong off. Jong probably was the most annoying 16-year old in whole Korea back then.

CONNECTIONS — 

▪ Park Suhan | Jong's partner in crime! |  Suhan became Jong Un's best buddy ever since he set step into Suhan's parent's bar. As a rapper colleague with such great knowledge about the real thing, Jong Un grew very attached to him. And even after he didn't make it far during SMTM, Jong still considers Suhan as his best man for eternity. He doesn't really get how salty and hateful Suhan sometimes is towards him but hey... why would his best friend hate him, huh? What would happen if Suhan ever directly tells Jong what he thinks about him? He'd never take him seriously and instead suggest going clubbing together. He basically is the one to force the whole fun stuff program on his friend. But no matter how dearly Jong Un thinks of Suhan, the later doesn't wish the best for him unfortunately. Suhan is the source of almost 98% of the boy's scandal he pulls. Why, you ask? Because he's Jong Un's right hand and advisor. Whenever Jong has a new idea that might end up with his reputation in ruins, Suhan is right there to encourage him to absolutely go for it. Yupp, what Suhan says is like Jong's bible of how to live. This bro knows his , that's why, m

▪ Lee Gosaeng | Go away, you ! | Gosaeng and Jong do... not really get along with. The fact that both are stage hogs isn't helping at all since Jong gets highly competitive and salty if he's not the one who gets the most screentime and he's probably the one that causes Gosaeng some serious headache, so it's natural that those two have some serious rivalry going on. Not to mention that Jong gets overly pissed at Gosaeng whenever they end up playing OW together and Gosaeng is playing Genji. No matter if in Jong's or the opponent's team. 

love INTEREST — 

▪ Good one. No, seriously. Jong is straight as can be and he loves all women. Instead of a single love interest, he has multiple bang interests that he'd love to get to know a little closer for the night. Imagine the typical list of super hot idols: Nana, Hyuna, Hyosung, Solar. He loves them all. And don't make him pick one... he'll suggest that the girls can share. But no way in hell he's going to share anyone with someone else.

BEWARE! I am coming for you.

you're in a 13 member group. has this ever bothered you? — Jong sits on his chair, leaning back as he inspects his nails. "...sorry, what did you just say again?"

do you think yourself better or worse than the other members that share your position? — At that he laughs. "Eh, duuuuh? Obviously, I'm the best in the hood! Next question!"

did you involve yourself in any physical altercations? — "Physi...cal...al...alter...al...what? What does that even mean? Hey, can you please speak Korean to me and not this... doctor language, whatever that is? Thank you!" Jong gets explained to what was actually meant. He starts laughing and then shrugs. "What do you think, huh? I'll just say that I KICK !"

in group arguments, do you prefer to speak your mind or stay quiet? — "Arguments are irrelevant, I'm right no matter what."

you have a chance to start over somewhat in this new unit group. what changes will you make to yourself, if any? — "Why would you try to be someone else if you're me? Oh... wait... you mean changes in the group? Give me more screentime, of course!"

the end.

comments/suggestions — Hello Hellooooo! I hope you like my little head that might give you some material to cause some bush fires if set in competition with a certain Lee Gosaeng XD
I hope it's okay that I used Zico as a talent twin, he just gives me the perfect vibe that I saw Jong fit for and also he's the best example of someone who kicks it off a lot better as a singer than  a rapper despite awesome rapping skills and who is more successfull if being a feature or featuring other artists. Also, don't feel pressured to make him a soloist, the solo works section is basically showing what kind of person Jong musically-wise is and I used the songs as examples. No need to use them, really! I hope it makes sense ^-^
