PERSONALITY )
+ attentive, hardworking, reliable, compassionate
= quiet, reserved
- sensitive, selfish, naive, moody

gyeoul is a Soft GorlTM. she genuinely cares about people, no matter who, and is always willing to help them with their troubles or struggles if she can. she understands, to some extent, what many people are going through and often tries to make other people feel better. she also has a knack for noticing things that other people might not, like body language and tone inflections, which causes her to understand how someone is feeling at some point in time. she also is not the type to just abandon someone; if she's made a promise, she will follow through no matter what, and she'll do her part to the best of her abilities. she doesn't know the definition of 'giving up' and will always put forth her best effort into anything she does.

however, she is sensitive about criticism and comments about herself, and she'll often be down if she hears such comments. she tries not to be the mood spoiler, but oftentimes, she'll just wake up on the wrong side of the bed and snap at people who approach her. other times, she'll have a pessimistic outlook on life that makes everyone around her feel terrible. having grown up as the less-cared-about child, she can also be selfish and naive. of course she knows how to share and all, but her priority is still herself and her own feelings/wellbeing, sometimes to the extent of causing arguments with other members. she also gets scammed quite a lot, since she doesn't realize that sometimes, life is just out to get her. she thinks that the world is generally good, and is often sorely disappointed when life doesn't turn out as such.

gyeoul is also shy and doesn't often talk to people she doesn't know, unless she has to or thinks they're in trouble. as a result, people assume that she's antisocial or cold, when in reality she's the exact opposite. she tends to be quiet, though, in general. her voice is quiet and she doesn't seem to have very much presence in the room, though she often likes it that way as she doesn't necessarily enjoy the spotlight on her.

PAST ) gyeoul was the second-born in a pair of twins. she grew up with no real troubles, but she always did get the impression as a child that her parents liked her sister better. why wouldn't they? her sister was prettier and more outspoken, charmed everyone over with her sweetness, and gyeoul was just the ugly quiet kid reading in the corner. yeah, it shouldn't have been such a surprise, but gyeoul couldn't help the resentment from building up in her stomach.

when she was in middle school, gyeoul became friends with a japanese exchange student, who introduced her to the rising jpop scene. gyeoul never really paid much attention to pop music before that, but she suddenly fell in love with hey say jump and focused her time on them. as a result, her grades dropped, and her parents reprimanded her and grounded her, which made her feel like they liked her sister even more now.

by the time gyeoul reached high school, she knew that she wanted to be an idol. the only problem was, she was shy and unconfident and didn't even really know how to sing. sure, she took choir and she could play piano, but would that be enough to impress kpop companies? that's why she started a youtube company with her best friend, the japanese exchange student! they called themselves 'sixty second kpop covers' and all of their videos were 60 seconds of a kpop song. surprisingly, it gained quite a bit of popularity, and they ended up having over 500 subscribers.

during this time, gyeoul learned how to manage her time better and brought her grades up, and she also outgrew her inferiority complex. she realized that her parents didn't really like her sister better, but that she only thought that way because she spent her time alone instead of with her parents and sister. her sister wanted to become a doctor, and gyeoul wanted to become an idol, and their parents supported both of them. with this thought in mind, gyeoul auditioned for yg entertainment as soon as she graduated high school, and to her infinite surprise but gratefulness, she was accepted.

twin sister / han gaeul / 21 / kind, outspoken, whiny
gaeul is gyeoul's twin sister. gyeoul used to hold a grudge against her for being the 'better-liked' twin, but she's since grown out of that phase, and they're close now. gaeul is a pre-med student at seoul university and always makes time to see her sister's concerts and tv appearances. (fc: omg's hyojung).

PERSONA ) the quiet but unintentionally funny older sister.

FIRST TALENT TWINS )
vocal: omg's seunghee (1, 2)

dance: omg's seunghee (1, 2)

TRAINING )
2014-2017: yg entertainment

elaboration: she entered yg as soon as she graduated high school, not expecting to get in. she felt pretty good but after realizing that everyone else around her was a WAY better singer than she was, she felt terrible and knew that she had to work hard in order to debut someday. she had no experience with dancing at all and focused a lot of that. but she also knew that she wasn't going to debut with her young inexperienced voice, so she made sure to develop her voice a lot. she trained a lot with the e2w members though she wasn't quite as close with the blackpink members. in particular, aerin seemed to like her and took her under her wing uwu and she was really being considered for e2w, but ultimately was cut from the lineup as she didn't have the charisma. she was sad about that, but after she was cut, she worked even harder, including starting to learn how to write lyrics and even singing an ost, and eventually, her hard work paid off as she was set to debut in empire.

predebut experiences: 'sixty second kpop covers' youtube channel lmao; ost for ruler: master of the mask

FUTURE )
- 2019: solo 'i go'
- 2020: starts a new yt channel covering songs, the first of which is hsj's maji sunshine (here)

ARTICLES )
- 2017: empire's winter used to feel rivalry with sister
= probably right after debut and on a show like idol room or weekly idol; it might garner a lot of attention including unnecessary hate uwu

- 2018: empire's winter and nct's johnny???
= basically just she hung out with johnny in her downtime and dispatch or smth caught them; both companies confirmed they were just friends

- i don't have anymore ideas but feel free to torture her lmao
FAMOUS LAST WORDS ) honestly, i made this in like two hours and i'm sorry if she's bad quality ;;; but it did make me happy uwu.

SCENE SUGGESTIONS )
- she introduces her sister to the members and they end up telling the story about how she used to be jealous of gaeul
- she def should not get along with everyone and i'd kill to see her have a rivalry with another member lol
- johnny can become her love int or not, and you can do anything you want with him tbh
- aerin interactions pls uwu

PASSWORD ) maybe an empire-v? with just the main/lead vocals and the song can be how can i love the heartbreak or somebody new.
