〈 ΠОΧ ; the prophecy — Kim Jiwoon ˚ Chaewon 〉
On the brighter side, he's very ambitious. When he really wants to do something, he would sacrifice his life for that goal. He got into BBC just under a year ago, which was a very late age for trainees to begin, but he still persisted anyways. Even when the company gave him a song and stage name he didn't like, he still tried to overlook it because he saw it as a stepping-stone for his end goal to debut. He's optimistic and has a tendency to look on the bright side of things, truly believing NOX will succeed and become the biggest boy group of the decade.
To the members, he's not exactly the loudest, but he's not exactly shy either. He prefers to form close personal relationships with each of the members. Through this, the members know that he actually craves a lot of affection and quite bubbly to say the least, which the fans don't know. In honesty, he is actually a really affectionate person that craves skinship but he's quite camera-shy. To the public, he's known as the "manly man" of the group, seemingly mature and serious, but that is because he becomes a lot more reserved on camera.
As the story progresses, as he becomes more comfortable in front of the camera, he lets his true personality slip out (not the temper part though lol). Fans think that NOX changed him, making him more childish and affectionate. On the contrary, he thinks he became more mature. While NOX did change him, he didn't become more childish at all; he just got rid of his tough facade and exposed his more immature side.
(+) optimistic, ambitious, affectionate
(–) immature, short-tempered, irresponsible
(...) infp, gryffindor
So, he practiced. To his dismay, he was "horrifying average" at everything. Never terrible, but never much better than the average person. He persisted, attending many auditions for the next two years, until he was finally accepted by BBC, making him one of only trainees admitted by audition.

TRIVIA —
— He's actually pretty close with the 97 liners in LOONA.
— Red is actually his favorite color.
— He actually hated his stage name because it was a female name and prefers to be called by his birthname.
— He's not flexible at all.
— His role model is G-Dragon from Big Bang.
— He lied on his profile. He's not actually 180 cm, but 179 cm, but close enough.
— He prefers Marvel over DC.
— He has a dog at his family's home.
— Even though he likes to watch American movies, he still doesn't know English.
— He can't eat cake if it has sprinkles.
— He has seasonal allergies, which can sometimes be heard in his mic when he performs.
— He "deadpans" a lot, and quite suddenly as well.
— His strength is being able to tell an interesting story about anything, which is helpful on talkshows.
— He loves cute things.
— They weren't close as children, but have gotten closer after Jiyoung graduated and went to the military. Since he's come back from the military, they regularly text each other about life.
BANDMATE — Moon Hawon (19): infj
— Despite being the older of the two, Jiwoon is more immature than Hawon. Jiwoon bothers him quite a bit for affection.
LABLEMATE/BEST FRIEND — Jo Haseul (20): enfj
— Being the same age, and Haseul being Haseul, they became friends relatively quickly when they met. They always did everything together, but never did so outside of the training rooms for fear of rumors.
LABLEMATE — Park Chaewon (17): isfp
— She's known as Gowon from LOONA. BBC, with their theory-loving asses, gave Jiwoon her real name as a stage name, to both of their dismay. Outside of technically being counterparts for their music, they actually aren't that close. She's very shy, and Jiwoon didn't really bother talking to her or anything. She becomes much more significant later on, as she secretly has a crush on Jiwoon, and becomes a love rival.
During his training years, there was a lot said about his age. About how it's practically too late for him, how he couldn't possibly make it in the next round of debut. Yet he blocked out those hurtful words. He may be immature and irresponsible, but this was the first thing he's ever worked hard for, and even if he fails this time, he'll keep going until he breaks all his bones.
When he first heard the demo for his song, he was terrified because it contained so much singing and it DEFINITELY sounded like a dance song despite BBC's denial. Surprisingly, the mostly vocal song turned out decent despite taking him a full twelve hours to record. He was feeling pretty good about it, until the next day, BBC decided to change their mind about choreography, adding choreography only a few days before they shot the MV, only adding to his nerves. Of course, it still turned out okay, but for the rest of NOX's songs, he never really had that much vocal part again, to his relief.
TALENT — Visual, Lead Rapper, Vocalist (at times)
TALENT TWINS —
— Singing: Wanna One Jihoon
— Dancing: Wanna One Jaehwan
— Rapping: BTS Jungkook lol
ELABORATION —
— He was never absolutely terrible at everything, but the one thing that never improved past a certain threshold during his training was dance. He doesn't have fluidity to his body at all, making even the correct moves seem awkward.
STAGE NAME — Chaewon
COLOUR — Burgundy (backup: Emerald)
ANIMAL — Vampire Bat (backup: Phoenix)
NAME OF DEBUT SONG — Trap by Henry
THE MUSIC VIDEO —
— It's silent at first, save for the sound of fluttering wings. The screen lightens and you can see a bat trying to escape a cage.
— Sudden cut to Jiwoon dancing, then more bat imagery, the night sky, running through a forest, but it just seems like he's going around in circles.
— Most of the MV is just cuts of him dancing and singing. Think Jinsoul or Kim Lip lol
— In the ending, he stops running, turns around and jumps.
— In true "Olivia Hye"-style, he wakes up on a bed in the middle of nowhere, and it's finally sunrise. A girl with blonde hair and covered face pulls him up.
— I don't want to describe the entire MV scene by scene bc thats just way too much lol but I'll describe the imagery below.
SYMBOLISM —
— Bats: Night usually represent the end. It's the end of the day, but what is born out of the darkness? Bats. Bats represent rebirth and new beginnings.
— New moon: When the camera shows the night sky in the MV, there's no moon in the sky. New moons represent beginnings, the start of the new lunar cycle.
— Running in circles: This represents never being able to find an end. In the case of this MV, the lack of an end represents how he's trapped in this never-ending cycle of illusory beginnings. Which is kind of strange, isn't it? Usually you need ends to make beginnings.
— Waking up: This symbolizes the true beginning.
— Stage name: Chaewon, although a female name, was given to him by BBC. Kind of similar to how Gowon from LOONA was almost given a male name (Adam), then actually given a male name (Gowon lol). But anyways, Chaewon represents beginnings, or origins, which, if you haven't noticed by now, is kind of his whole concept. Another connection fans have noticed is how Chaewon is Gowon's real name. Why would BBC take away Gowon's real name and give it to Jiwoon? hurhurhur She is basically Jiwoon's LOONA counterpart, with similar elements to their songs. Their music videos represents beginnings, Gowon's about the beginning of loving oneself, and Chaewon's about the beginning of finding oneself.
— The MV mainly takes place in The Mundus. He wakes up in the Aether (sunrise=peach colored skies?), pulled by the mystery girl (who we'll quickly realize as Gowon lol).
— The thing about Gowon is that she represents someone who had fallen to temptation, and that she's trying to drag Jiwoon along.
— Well, how does this play into real life? All of his life, he's felt as if the life he's led wasn't his. Even when he thought he succeeded by the time he debuted, the debut just him into a new set of problems. He feels like he doesn't have enough control, and needs to find his "sunrise."
