ethnicity: asian.
nationality: south korean.

how i look
faceclaim: soloist 권소희, saay (a-pink's 김남주).
appearance: she starts her daily stretches by facing the floor to ceiling mirrors of the training room, her slim frame sore from her morning "work-out". luckily, miyoon has been able to keep the private room for herself for the third day in a row. as she's reaching forward to extend her aching back, the thick, wavy tresses of obsidian falls into her face blocking the view of her very own relfection. she stands upright again, reaches for the hair barrette on her wrist and twists her strands into a messy coiffure but curses under her breath when she realizes the barrette is barely containing her hair. "," she hisses, her eyes blearing as she tries to adjust to clear vision again. how could something so trivial make her so upset? after gathering her wits and successfully restoring her eyesight and takes note of her once perfectly drawn eyeliner completely smudged from her tiny, unexpected cry session. she sighs but finds herself pathetically simpering as she catches sight of the exhausted woman in the reflection, "you've got to get some rest, miyoon-ah." she scolds as she notices the dark circles forming underneath her eyes that not even a full-coverage foundation could hide, "but they're counting on you."
 
fashion: with the hiatus of eon, miyoon has learned to tone down her attire to affordable garments instead. pulling on the latch of the hand-me-down armoire, miyoon's eyes scale the entirity of her wardrobe. hanging off the plastic, cheap hangers are crisp, white cotton t-shirts, black leggings, oversized, cropped monochromatic gray hoodies and two pairs of boyfriend styled jeans. miyoon tries to remember the last time she was required to wear something fancy or expensive but has a difficult time recalling any memory of the sort. she yanks on a blue-gray hoodie over her most comfortable sports bra. "now where are those sneakers?" she grunts while securing her hair into a pony-tail and scavaging the studio apartment for the only pair of shoes to her name.

PERSONALITY:  
 
the house of gryffindor presents . . .

 
wu miyoon
우미윤

a story about a persistent, empathetic, dependable, protective and mature gal with a chip on her shoulder who is determined to make this time work. however, with so much weighing on this opportunity, insecurities, worry-wart tendecies, guilt and the over-extension of selflessness rears its ugly head in miyoon's direction as she tries to balance it all as the leader of poise.

she pours her soul into the music most days, moving her limbs to tracks and adjusting her rhythm to the different sounds and instrumentals in order to create a routine that she can be proud of. clementia constantly tells her that what she's contributed thus far is already amazing but miyoon doesn't feel like it's good enough. so, she starts tries again and again and again even as her muscles ache from exhaustion and her body is in dire need of fuel and we're not talking about copious amounts of black coffee.

when miyoon's not locked away in the studio of fortune entertainment, she's at the gym in a secluded corner on the expense of "friend's" membership, sharpening up on her dance skills. they tell her to "give it a rest", she reminds them that if it's not her, who would the others count on?

she had failed them—she had failed fama. A scandal that could have so easily been avoided if only miyoon had intervened before things could get too messy, too chaotic even for her to manage. She carried the hurt that all nine of them experienced like a necklace tightly and uncomfortably clasped around . The least she could do is reappear as the leader that she should have been with eon. 

miyoon will not sit still and allow anything to mess up their chance again especially not when another company was taking such a gamble with them. the nine of them that had been casted aside by compass entertainment as if they never existed all in the name of love. she hadn't come this far to give up now...not when everyone else was so sure about this opportunity. She couldn't afford to clamp up.

besides, the others weren't only counting on her but minerva, clementia and fama too—although she knows Fama's heart isn't totally into it—but miyoon feels the stressful impact of it all, the most. compass never gave them this amount of creative freedom and here fortune was just tossing the responsiblity into their waiting laps like dog treats. so, all-nighters started to become routine to miyoon as she solely focused on different choreographies and many of the finished routines were self-deemed as failures. the ambition to debut again was slowly depleting within miyoon as concern started to take root instead.

what if fortune entertainment isn't happy with anything and benches them too? what if the title track doesn't garner the attention or success that they Are aiming for? what if the second time isn't the charm? What if another scandal tears them apart this time?

"no," miyoon speaks out loud, her voice annoyed and hoarse having not spoken in hours. she needed to remind herself why she was working this hard and what for. "they're counting on you and they deserve this chance again. You of all people know this."

 
BACKGROUND: 
 
in the fall of 1995, a healthy baby girl named wu miyoon is born to a garderner and his docile housewife in jeju island, south korea. however, a few months later, the small family uprooted to seoul after mr. wu received a job position at a university as a botanist professor. unfortuantely,  miyoon has no recollection of ever living in jeju whatsoever and often quotes seoul as her hometown.
 
from childhood and on, miyoon was never forced into anything she didn't want to do despite having such a studious father who thirst for knowledge and would have preferred his daughter to take academics more seriously.
 
being a fun-loving and creative child, parenting was quite easy to the wu's despite the opinions of other parents who thought too much "freedom" would spoil the girl. they often quoted that miyoon would "turn out to be a hippie just like her parents" so in defiance, the wu's decided that their daughter would have to be the one in charge of her own path; no matter if they agreed with it or not.
 
as a kid, miyoon was apart of many activities ranging from art class to a small dance group formed by a bunch of kids in the neighborhood and as the years carried on, miyoon's interest in dance turned into a full-fledge love affair that would last for a lifetime. while attending elementary school as a child, miyoon was often sought after by the principal to participate in showcases and competitions representing the small, private school and willingly, miyoon accepted.
 
when it came to being enrolled into an official dance class by her sweet mother at the expense of her husband's salary, miyoon was nervous as any other person would be having never taken a "professional" dance class before however, the dance instructor made sure to remain patient throughout. while other dance students would snicker any time that miyoon would make a small technicality mistake, scolding would ensure and young miyoon felt a bit at ease each time. and every year, her dancing would vastly improve and surpass many of those same laughing children. so much so that when it came time for miyoon to enter high school, she was immediately accepted into the seoul performing arts high school with high praise.
 
within her first year at spahs, miyoon took the chance and auditioned for a famous comapny at the recommendation of a teacher who thought that miyoon would fair well as an idol. since jyp entertainment's auditions were open to the public and free-style focused, the young girl didn't take it nearly as serious like others had. she pranced up on the stage in front of dozens with sweats while the funky strobe lights fluttered around her and performed to the best of her abilities. many cheered her on and the very next week, miyoon was offered a spot as a trainee. while training at jyp was fun for a time-being, miyoon soon realized that she lacked the willpower to try and conform to a mold that wasn't hers to fill. it was like jyp was trying their very best to make her into the next , best version min of miss a. and quite frankly, that solidified miyoon's choice to drop from jyp entirely.
 
in her final year of high school, miyoon's best friend inna begged for the older girl to "try auditioning once more, for my sake, please!"
 
...and willingly, she decided to help out the anxious friend who had a terrible case of stage-fright. from the very beginning, miyoon had zero confidence of becoming an idol (she had been down that path before) since her first time wasn't what she expected but when she received a call-back to audition for a second round, the teenager was astonished. and in 2012, both girls from saphs completed the second rounds and with full on support from the faculty and their very own parents, they signed; inna more excited than her.
 
and at last, miyoon had decided that this was her life-path after all, a career that her parents hadn't envisioned but supported, nonetheless. if anyone could imagine such a person to endure such rigirous training and obtain a strong mindset, it would be their head-strong daughter. compass entertainment had been the stepping stone into a world only kids could dream of but unbeknownst to miyoon, a painful halt in her career would come about not even a year into her chosen career.
 
 
TRIVIA:  
• in eon, she was under the stage name "miah" but with poise, she'd rather be called by her birth-name.
• the friend who miyoon auditioned with and signed to compass, stayed and is now an actress.
• miyoon's chosen english name is michaela wu.
• if miyoon wasn't an idol, she'd be a dance instructor or choreographer, naturally.
• miyoon never dreamt of attending college or university.
• she can draw very well and has a trunk full of sketches in her apartment.
• she shares a studio apartment with a stray cat that visits her window every afternoon for a snack.
• she has had other "companions" but seonra is her favorite fwb of all time and visits her apartment often.
• miyoon doesn't pretend she's innocent but if you try to come for any of the other girls, you'd get a foot to your face.
• miyoon has a hidden and rarely-ever-seen temper, despite her seemingly calm, leader-esque image.
• black is her favorite pigment and white is a close second.
• she has only ever loved one guy.
• she jokingly mentions that she should have made her stage name "yoona" just like snsd's visual goddess although she doesn't come close to being nearly as pretty in her opinion.
• she was born on friday the 13th.
• used to be train closely with twice's im nayeon.
• held a few part time jobs in between companies. Last job, she worked as a barista but she wasn't nearly as good as she ought to be.
how i interact
kim boram (김보람). 22. extroverted, moody, reserved, caring, indecisive.
fc: application.
boram may be younger than miyoon but she has the ability to ground her at the times when seonra isn't there to do because of his own life as an idol. naturally, miyoon admires the younger woman and often finds herself confiding in her even when boram tries to protect her emotions with a 10 foot wall around the perimeter. boram also tends to look for the very best in people and often ends up hurt, which makes miyoon feel just as horrible that she can't protect her from the pain. funny enough, the two share something in common, both being ex-jyp trainees and being acquainted with some of the twice members. it's not something that miyoon looks back at with immense joy but to find out that someone else can relate to the a very similar experience minus the reality show aspect, makes miyoon feel understood.
 
ysabel nam (남인나), 25. charismatic, hard-working, flirty, self-centered. 
fc: lee naeun.
inna was the shy high-schooler who was too nervous to audition by herself so she begged miyoon to join her. of course, with such natural good looks, inna's mediocre dancing and subpar singing was overlooked as compass welcomed her into the company. "the next song hyekyo," they would preclaim but inna wanted to train as an idol despite all the recommendations. it isn't until after failing to make it into eon, that inna changes her mind and starts considering acting classes. and any smart person who had witnessed the hiatus of eon due to the scandal, was smart enough to stick to acting.
 
so for the past two years, inna has focused on the roles she's gained and the love calls for her appearance, becoming the face of a few make-up brands and securing cf deals. with such a busy schedule full of photoshoots and recordings , the friendship that she once had with miyoon has depleted immensely. perhaps one day, the famous ysabel nam will remember miyoon, the girl who she used to be best friends with.

TRAINEE LIFE:  
"i hear great things about the next young lady, she's a former jyp trainee but she didn't even last a year," a manager gossips to the one in charge of recording the auditions for the ceo to look over later.
 
"this is her second audition, right?"
 
"yeah, it is!" the latter chirps brightly as she adjusts the pages to match the high schooler about to enter. "she and another girl named inna are highly expected to make it."
 
"i guess i'm in for a treat," another says loudly enough for only the camera-man to hear just when the door creaks open to reveal an awkwardly lanky teen with naturally colored, waist length hair. her school uniform on full display minus the vest. she greets the three adults in the room with steady eye-contact and even smiles sweetly when the three greet in return.
 
"wu miyoon-ss, second year student at seoul performing arts," the manager reads, holding up the page of information within the grasp of her perfectly , manicured fingertips. "you're only sixteen. is your parents okay with you training to become an idol?"
 
"my parents allow me to make whatever choices i feel confident in so long as they bring no harm to me or them," miyoon replies with a giggle that causes the camera-man to chuckle in return.
 
"shall we begin then?" The other man interjects with a wide grin plastered on his face.

miyoon is running through the routine again but manages to slip up just in the end causing the other girl to groan in defeat.

"you stayed up all night to practice and still can't manage the ending?" flora playfully scoffs as she tosses miyoon a bottle of water. "if we don't stick this landing, the instructor is going to have us by our throats!"

"i know, i know. i'll get it, trust me." miyoon assures before tossing the bottle to the side of the room. "if i just do it like—see! there! i got it!" miyoon exclaims, demonstrating the move again and again. and then the two run through the routine once more only to discover that miyoon really has nailed it.

"you've really got to stop staying up in all hours of the night, dancing." the younger woman scolds, "it does you no good. coffee isn't your friend, miyoonie."

"what if they don't choose us?" one of the girls sulks just as miyoon is entering the practice room.

"what if we are not good enough?" another pipes up.

"what if they have another vocalist in mind who can actually dance?"

"what are you going on about?" miyoon demands just as she pulls her hair into that signature messy style of hers. "you've got the voice of an angel or have you gone tone-deaf?" 

"miyoon, you're always so confident." boram begins as she stands up to meet miyoon half-way across the room, "but we're not all like you. we aren't all so sure of ourselves."

"but you have every right to be. all of you do. i wouldn't have made it this far if it wasn't for you all," miyoon reminds boram as she meets the eyes of every single trainee squished into the training room. "and we are all going to debut. we'll debut together or even separately so long as we reach our goals and conquer our dreams."

"and you'll be our fearless leader, too, huh?" inna teases but despite the joking tone, it's exactly how miyoon's fate plays out.

 
PRE-DEBUT ACTIVITIES: 
2010 • back-up dancer (actress in background scenes at disco club) and alien scene for wonder girls in 2 different tears mv.
 
idol life: 
she remembers the days spent at compass and appearances they made on music shows as rookies. the girls of eon had been on their way to such massive popularity—having the support of so many domestic and international fans abroad. they were all so happy and carefree until "fans" became way too invested in their lives and nosy netizens and gossipy outlets diligently worked at gathering up as much information as they could. and one by one, disagreeing articles came about, spewing hatred to a member or two every so often and then a scandal—one that tore the very heart of the most popular member—killed the trust that the company had with eon. and shortly after, they were placed on an indefinite hiatus and hidden from the public's eye to be forgotten.

"eon's miah is such a dancing queen and clementia's the dancing princess," she had once read on an online forum a year ago While on break at her part-time job. "too bad we'll never see the girls of eon again. this industry is truly missing talent."

fans actually miss us?

"ms. wu, are you listening?" the manager for the girl-group project at fortune entertainment interrupts miyoon's racing mind, her eyebrows kissing at the center of her forehead.

"shouldn't someone else be made leader?" miyoon starts, her voice hoarse with emotion. she didn't want to fail the girls again. "wouldn't someone so motherly and endearing like boram lead us into the success and victory?"

"kim boram whole-heartedly believes that only you can handle this position, as do the rest of the girls." 

but i don't want to, miyoon wants to scream as guilt claws at her, suffocating and demanding.

"what happened at compass was unfortunate but it wasn't your fault—it wasn't any of you guys' fault," the manager tries to break through to miyoon but it's useless. "just trust us. i think this will be good for you in the end, ms. wu. besides, the ceo thinks it'd be good if you work on choreographing the debut track."

"black coffee?" flora screeches as she scrunches her nose up at the intruding scent within the practice room. "i thought you gave that stuff up cold turkey, years ago."

"it energizes me and helps me focus so i can choreograph."

"and then you barely manage a cat-nap before you're up and about again, slowly killin' yourself and for what?" venus interjects as a scowl appears on her pretty face. "both clementia and i agree that what you've come up with is so cool and even the manager would be impressed so, unnie—our dear miyoon, how can you not see it?"

 
HEADLINES: 
2016 • is eon's leader, miah going solo?
so, a cover of chris brown's fine china surfaces on youtube and old fans think that miyoon is trying to go solo. it's false as miyoon uploaded it for her own pleasure and entertainment. it was never meant to be taken seriously and the compass quickly deleted it only to find out years later, someone had reuploaded it onto the platform.
 
2019 • poise's miyoon guest dances with 1m's myoung mina!
yes, it's true and it's an honor. 1m has gained recognition and fame over the years from their consistent uploads to youtube of personalized choreographies and miyoon participating in one is amazing. old fans of eon don't really make the correlation until months of it being uploaded to youtube. check it out here.
how i love
NAME:  ki seonra (기선라).
stagename: sunra (선라).
BIRTHDATE:  march 29, 1995.
OCCUPATION: lead vocalist, potential visual of blitz (twin: ex-mx's 원호).
faceclaim:  day6's 김원필 (mx's 임창균).
 
PERSONALITY:  charming, sweet-natured, nurturing, calm, empathetic, mellow, quick tempered, impatient.
 
love story:  besides being blitz's lead vocalist borderlining main-vocalist and securing the many hearts of the fandom, seonra has made many headlines just for his handsome looks alone. with such a huge fandom, seonra gains plenty of attention and for all the right reasons. a pretty boy with a clean record as he has never once been caught in a dating or damaging scandal of any sort. even when he sneaks out of his apartment in the wee hours of the morning in transit to miyoon's shabby abode.
 
they had both been trainees under compass entertainment when they crossed paths. miyoon was the trainee that everyone admired for her ridiculously good dance skills and tenacity whereas he was the trainee that couldn't dance to save his life "but at least he's attractive and has a good voice," miyoon would say in his defense whenever one of the guys would rag on him to make themselves look better.
 
never once had they parted their lips to speak to one another and yet she was willingly sticking up for him. but eventually, seonra would take a chance and waltz up to the infamous wu miyoon and officially introduce himself one evening while passing her by in an empty training room.
 
"sorry to interrupt but i wanted to make your acquaintance. i'm ki seonra," he began, but his smile would disappear as he catches sight of a disgruntled miyoon, struggling to prevent more tears from falling down her face. "what's wrong?"
 
"stress, i'm just so stressed," miyoon manages to reply. "seonra, is it? do you mind keeping me company for a few seconds? just so i can gather myself. practice has been extremely hard lately."
 
"yeah, sure. anything." the latter readily agrees as he plops down onto the floor next to her. He wants to reach out and tuck the loose strand of hair behind her ear but resists. he has no right to touch her; they're practically strangers even though he feels at ease in her presence. sure, seonra has friends but those guys never made him feel so sure of much but when miyoon had asked for him to stay behind with her, he immediately obliged.

on a scale of one to ten, how badly do you want to break up? if it's less than seven, then come on over and let's just, let's just, let's just make love.

the two had been dating in secret for months and although other trainees may have been suspicious, never once had either of them given any inclination of the truth. they kept business and personal separate and only met up when they were sure they had seclusion without any interruption. it was easy, at least at first. until seonra's schedule became demanding. compass was set to debut their next boy group and seonra was a strong contender so how could miyoon ever come in between a long-life dream? she had no right to do so and so, she did what she thought was best. 

with blitz debut, meet-ups became a lot less frequent. text messages went unanswered, never-sent. phone calls were rare and moments of passing one another in the halls were scarce. each day, seonra capturing the hearts of many abraod and each hour, miyoon felt like she was losing a part of herself. seonra was a lot of firsts for miyoon. first kiss, first intimacy, first love and yet, she wouldn't be able to remain his first priority. then eon happened and so did the painful events that followed.

in technical terms, seonra and miyoon hadn't broken up. even as two years passed between debuts, neither hadn't the heart to utter such cruel words.

"let's break up."

she had been the one to initiate it and over a text of all ways but, he had so easily agreed and sent an "okay, let's," as a response.

her ringtone blares at two in the morning, startling the stray cat she's named nabi from her eating session near the opened window. quickly glancing at it, she picks up to be greeted with a ruckus of loud talking, glass clinking and panting. 

"hello?" she quietly answers, "you have the wrong number?"

"hello, ma'am. i'm sorry to call so late," a voice starts and although he's speaking in a rushed tone, it's concise and easy to follow. "there's a guy here in the bar and he's way too pretty to be out here but he's so wasted and he won't wake up so i just called the first person in his phone and it happened to be you."

"i'll be there," miyoon replies as she rushes to slip on a jacket and shoes. "just tell me your location."

ain't even registered inside my head, still got this love for you deep-down in my bones.

♥

his body reeks of alcohol but miyoon just watches from afar as he rests on top of the duvet on her bed, her mind racing with millions of memories of the two of them and all the times they have ever been there for one another.

"i still haven't changed your name in my phone," seonra had confessed in his drunken state. "i guess somewhere deep down, it felt so wrong."

moving from her spot at the kitchen table, miyoon moves over to the mattress and sinks down next to seonra's sleeping form only to relish in the feeling as his arms wrap around her torso and the softness of lips press against the nape of her neck, "i just miss you," he whispers into her hair. 

STATUS: previously first-loves, currently fwb.
ENDING:  I'll let you play matchmaker. Do you want to see two people who still love one another, be together again or do you want miyoon to end up with another? It's your choice. Do your best or worst.
 
TRIVIA: 
• seonra really admires miyoon and her vulnerability. he finds it to be her most attractive quality.
• miyoon prefers that seonra never bleaches his hair, like ever.
• seonra likes nabi (the stray cat) so much that he is the one who provides the stash of snacks for her.
• miyoon has pictured herself married to seonra but will never confess to it.
• seonra wants to be the first to say, "i love you" if they ever become a pair again.
• miyoon is seonra's support system and vice versa.
