HER STORY:
PERSONALITY TRAITS:
(+) confident, driven, self-less, gentle, sweet
(-) overly-competitive, workaholic, moody, brutally-honest
PERSONALITY :
(+) if you ever saw a meaning of confidence in real life, you'll look at the one and only Shin Stella. The way she walks, talk and carris herself just screams confidence. She never has one doubt about herself, she knows what she wants and knows how to do it, it's part of her charm that everyone gravitates towards her. Part of that is her driven personality. Always on time, practicing late until the night comes, always wear a smile on her face even if she's dead beat tired: she'll do it all. She just isn't a friend for being lazy and for being a , she can say anything they want but to Stella she wants to be focused on those goals and dreams she always prepare right ahead of time. It doesn't matter if she's going to be called names or whatnot because obviously in this industry she needs to have a thick skin in which she has and always will be a part of her.
Aside from that Stella is known for being self-less. She's often times seen giving the spotlight towards others to shine without any personal gain (despite of what she is). Even in small gestures she'll think about others except for herself. It comes to the point where she tends to forget to even think about herself, or better yet forget about taking care of herself but she would always dismiss this fact because she doesn't want to admit weakness in front of people.
Stella is surprisingly a gentle person. Gentle in a way that you can always trust her and rely on her on every circumstances because she handles everything without any preamble but with a soft touch of her warmness and steadiness. Also the sweetest person you will ever meet once you get to know her without any judgement whatsoever. If she ever trust you at all she'll always lookout for you and is always giving you sweet hugs and kisses, she adores skinship too as that is her way of showing her sweetness. Though She often times would take care of others resulting into not taking care of herself. she thinks it's a weakness that's why she wouldn't and couldn't even admit it to other people especially herself.
(-) resulting into her self-lessness, Stella is overly-competitive if you provoke her. So when you thought you got the last laugh out of Stella, she wouldn't just sit around and accept defeat, no way. Of course she would up her game just to win and see defeat in the said person's eyes, whether it'll be a friendly competition or serious competition she won't and NEVER back down until SHE get the last laugh.
The downside of this is her workaholic attitude. Everyone is, at some point, won't rest and is devoted to their jobs. But to Stella being workaholic is something she's so proud of it's unhealthy. You reason with her and she'll offer the excuse of her working her of because she wants to be devoted as much as possible. It'll go as far for her to be sulk and be moody for who knows how long, to be honest until stella calms down and you offer her a good treat such as food then maybe she will calm down but if you don't she'll be able to be moody for a whole day.
And if you get on to her bad side (which you'll never cross, ever.) she'll be brutally honest and she knows it to herself too. Out of everything Stella is, this trait of hers is what people got shivering. She isn't afraid to say anything to you whether you'll like it or not. Half of the time she'll go beyond overboard and sometimes won't even realize it (if you do make her visibly upset.) It'll sometimes make her look like a bad person most of the time but her brutal-honesty is something she won't ever change in herself, she wants to put boundaries to people who likes to invade, judge and put everything else into when she isn't doing whatever blabber non-sense people talk to her and will make sure she will get your own medicine inside your mouth from doing so.
PERSONAL LIFE:
Shin Stella (or Shin Sunhwa, her korean name) was first born at the humbling place at Seongbuk-dong, Seoul South Korea before moving to Manchester, England at the age of 5. With one older brother and older sister, her family is quite known in the bussiness economy. Her mother, being one of the top cardiologist and her Father is a well-known figure CEO of SHIN ENTERPRISES which he owned three of the hospital branches in the UK. As you can see Stella, since she was born, already has a silver spoon on . You'd think Stella doesn't have an ounce of regret and is living a good life since she was a child, waking up every morning to a full breakfast on bed, seeing her clothes already laid out ahead of it's day, going to fancy gatherings, dressing fancy clothes, studying at one of the most prestigious school, having famous friends etc. so on and so forth.
Well, you're dead wrong. Stella just hates it. Not to say she hates the care her parents are giving oh no, in fact, she actually is grateful that she is lucky enough to eat three meals a day, but what she isn't fond of is how her parents are restricting her to what she really wants: music.
Music is Stella's first love and quite honestly, her soulmate. She discovers through one of her nanny's back then. Since her parents are busy all the time plus her siblings are basically slave to the books that time, being the youngest of them she tends to spend more of her time with her nannies (although she hates the term she often call them "aunties" as it doesn't feel right to her for even calling them that.) Life with her lovable auntie back then is something Stella isn't going to forget. How she hears the music on the radio one time, her auntie dancing and swaying to the rythm and Stella ever wonders how such music coming from a box can form such a positive response from her beloved auntie. They would sing, play instruments, and just occassionally listen to music. So when Stella got in deeper and sang and listen with her heart through music she knew she has a dream to get and pursue no matter how harder it gets.
Stella would often go and sneak out at ungodly hours just to listen to music, sometiimes she would skip school or her friend's invitations just so she can learn instruments (she likes the piano and the flute the most), and of course often times she would go and sing her heart out at a pub near the school, the audience loves her singing and Stella would often make covers and upload it on soundcloud (with an alias of course). Everyone around her knew she has a knack for it. Everytime there's an event in her school she'll immediately self-volunteer as she loves music that much and it only amplifies it to a point where she wanna pursue it as a profession and wants to sing and perform. And although her siblings were a bit hesitant on this, they supported Stella full time, knowing full well that once Stella started dreaming so big they know they wouldn't even dare to even minimize it.
Not until her parents knew that is. Stella knew this yet she kept this a secret to her parents for years. She would lie everytime her parents asked her about university, how her future is already set from the beginning and Stella hates it, wants to shout it to the world how much she loves music and would go to the ends of the world just to attain and perform on the stage and sing. Her father was the most affected by it because he doesn't want to waste such a thing for Stella to be going away. This was months of rebelling against her parents, she would come home late at night, skipping classes (though still would maintain her grades because she always pass her projects ahead of time) and of course singing and making covers on Youtube. And after all the rebellious act her father is still lenient with her future cause no matter what, she'll always be a daughter of a famous CEO who is bound to follow the steps of the family's business.
This statement enraged Stella more than anything that she had to go out and go to where she wants to feel at ease more, to her birthplace, South Korea. Of course, between this, her siblings at a war between letting Stella go at such a young age (she was 17 at that time, almost finishing her highschool). Especially her brother as he doesn't want a huge rift between his parent's and Stella, but knowing his younger sister's stance, he can't help but to feel at a loss with things so on his part he was against it. Well Stella's sister was the one who initiate and helped her pack things that night and go to Seoul all by herself. Stella didn't even look back, the only thing she remembers is her sister's encouraging words and her brother's tear striken face as she lets go of her beloved sister.
Fast forward to the present, Stella is a now successful member of a fairly known group and a solo artist in the Korean Industry. She still isn't on speaking terms with her father, but on the bright side she made amends with her mother and apologized dearly to what she have caused in the heat of the moment that happened in the past. But what she isn't gonna apologize for is following her dreams.
She also would let her siblings visit when there comes a time they make a trip to Seoul to visit Stella (sometimes it's her sister, but most of the time it's gonna be her older brother) because of business trips and whatnot. She loves the life she has now, she isn't gonna say she hates the life she has back then, but this life of performing and singing to her heart's content is something she has yearned for through all the years and won't ever change it for the world.

IDOL LIFE:
KICK IT Studios (2010, 8 months)
As soon as Stella landed in Seoul, she already knew people would talk about her. Of course her father is such a famous figure that everyone will talk about the rebellious child that go against the family's reputation and Stella wants none of it. She starts anew, even having a part time job at a local pet shop (with the help of her sister of course though as time goes by she starts living by herself) . She still does covers from time to time and for the first time in her life she tries busking. Often times she would go to different parts of tourist places in Seoul and do singing on the side and she does this all by herself. Life is something simple for Stella that time and very content with how things are going for her. People would often come by her busking shows and a crowd would gather (Of course of how she looks plus her stunning vocals that people can't help admire) but of course she can't help but feel like something is missing. She wanted to perform (not saying she hates busking, to be honest she loves busking, it's her life and would definitely pursue this) to a large scale stage, release her own music and finally make a name for herself.
Until an opportunity rises when she was scouted by a entertainment company. At First Stella wasn't too keen on being on a company that small but of course knowing how much she wanted to enter the music industry she tried it out, of course the company only want for her to audition and if she isn't too satisfied then she can go her way.
Some say that Stella got it easy when she is training under KICK IT Studios but while it is true half of it is because they knew what Stella was. The trainee life she had is so easy, she can walk freely without sweating and working hard for something she doesn't want. She trained for only 8 months until she was scouted by another company called ICON Entertainment (becuase of her covers and videos she has while busking, Stella of course doesn't know the scale of her popularity that time) and Stella knew she found the one who'll make her dreams come true.
ICON MEDIA Entertainment (2010-Present)
Training in ICON MEDIA is a taste of hardwork Stella is looking for. Her company doesn't care where she came from and most importantly they heavily relied on talents alone. She wouldn't lie if she said she wasn't shocked at the real training that commenced throughout the years she was in the company. Yes, they we're stares, and yes, everyone around her would whisper about this and that, rumors left and right. She isn't really the type to indulge into those so she ignored it anyway through training hard. She learned dancing but she knew she wasn't A plus on this still she has the hardest time catching up with a lot of trainess. At some point she wanted to quit, she doesn't wanna be put in an embarassing way to perform on stage especially now that the rumours of an upcoming group is what she's nervous about.
She never wanted to be put in a group, she wants to be a solo. It has been bugging her ever since she landed on ICON MEDIA. The girls she was with throughout her training seems accomodating and is friendly to her, she wants to befriend them but knowing that she will be put in the group with these girls nonetheless make it seem like it's the end of her.
Because of this Stella would always eat when she's stressed and is upset by how many mistakes she takes that day. She was such in a dark place that she doesn't know where she is headed. Truthfully she wants to do whatever it takes for her to be on the center-stage, especially with her talent she knows she's gonna make it in the industry, yet at the back of her mind she keeps on questioning whether she'll even be put on the center stage as a solo. She knows other girls would have to fight tooth and nail for this position alone. She thought and would often be lock herself in a room throughout this time but what came her out of her shell is her future members that are so sweet and comforting she can't help but feel quilty all of a sudden.
DEBUT // MELODY // 2014-Present
Training for 5 years it's finally time to shine with the group's name MELODY. Stella already had a hunch she'll debuting in a group of five talented ladies aside. Upon debut though people can't help but to judge them. They didn't have the capacity to hold a time-slot on being in music programs so they opt out for performing outside whenever they have promotions. It took them awhile to gain fanbase as well. Being in a small and a very freshly opened company, Stella can understand why people would look somewhere else that is familliar. Until people knew of Stella's past.
This quite cause a stir in the Korean Industry, Stella was even the target of malicious comments and threats. Throughout the years of performing people likes to target Stella as a rebellious one, the y one, the one who doesn't look like she's enjoying the stage. To Stella she doesn't care, time and time again she would perform with a smile on her face and dance even if it means breaking her bones for it. It doesn't take time until they gained popularity through singing competition that the group both joined and suddenly garner people's interest.
Now, MELODY is known for their sweet smooth vocals and pure captivating personalities. Because of this people can't help but to sing to their songs and always play everywhere else in Seoul. Of course there are always hurtful messages and stuff like that but beneath of it all the fans and the supporters of MELODY outweighs all of it.

HER WORLD:
FAMILY:
Shin David (Shin Dong-woo) (fc: Chun Ho Jin) | 55 | Father | Because of what happened in the past, Stella doesn't have the heart in her to talk to her father. Although at times whenever she video calls her siblings on how they are doing. She would glance at her father and offer him a smile saying she is doing well. Part of her wants to act cocky while saying she made it, but knowing her father, she might take it a little too far.
Amelia Lewis (fc:vera farmiga) | 50 | Mother | They already made up when Stella fist made her solo debut. That's how long they decided to take the tension away. Her mother isn't like her father though. Amelia is a gentle and kind one. Although she was deeply against at what Stella did, Amelia knew it already happened and now that she's seeing her daughter happy she is content with it. The relationship between them is always gentle and warm. Amelia making sure she's doing and resting well whenever Stella calls her because sometimes she would miss her mother dearly.
Shin Allen (Shin Seokwoo) (fc: ha seok jin)| 32 | Older Brother | Allen is the type of brother who would be overprotective of Stella even if she's on the other side of the country. Stella sometimes hates it but can't help but be amazed at how soft his brother is towards her. Allen was the first one who rejects Stella's big move to Seoul but as time gradually passes by he came to understand Stella has a dream. Often times though Stella would always brother, but Allen being a serious person sometimes doesn't know what a joke is so he'll be confused at Stella's antics. Stella loves it though and she wouldn't change her brother at all.
Shin Vanessa (Shin Sori) (fc: chae soo bin) | 29 | Older Sister | Her confidant, her best friend forever. Stella has always been inclined with Vanessa ever since she was small. This is where Stella felt like a normal kid when she hangs out with Vanessa. Vanessa makes Stella feel like they are in a normal family with no prying eyes and no reputation to uphold of. Vanessa likes to care about Stella and loves Stella's dream of becoming a Singer, and Stella at the same time supports Vanessa's dream on the other side of the world. Her relationship with her sister is stronger than anything that she's willing to sacrfice everything vice-versa. They won't be seperated no matter what happens.
GROUP MEMBERS:
Rena | 29 | Leader, Main Rapper, Lead Dancer, Visual, Center | Irene of Red Velvet | Stella's not gonna lie if she said she wasn't intimidated when she first met Rena. To be honest, it all changed when they debut. Rena reminds her of Stella's older sister back then. Rena treats her so warm like a sister would do and Stella sometimes is awkward at receiving that, but gradually when they've gone ups and downs together they became so close that they would often call each other even if they already met 2 seconds ago. Rena is a leaning shoulder to Stella whenever she's upset about something and would be by Stella's side in a hearbeat.
Haneul | 24 | Lead Rapper, Sub-Vocalist | Joy of Red Velvet | Haneul is Stella's number 1 supporter. She would always support Stella in her solo career and wheenver she does anything remotely cool you'll hear Haneul's words of encouragement and just basically fangirling. Stella adores Haneul so much and takes care of her as well as being the youngest in the group.
Mori | 27 | Main Dancer, Lead Vocalist | Seulgi of Red Velvet | Mori and Stella was dubbed as a Duo who can't be inseperable. Ever since their trainee days, Stella always has a magnetic pull towards Mori and vice versa. They would do things together, eat together, practice together and to be honest, sleep together. It feels like Stella found her soulmate and Mori is just as sweet as the rest of the girls. Mori has always been the pillar too, but in contrast to Haneul, Mori is a warm bestfriend who cheers on the sidelines for Stella and Stella would repay it by being with Mori's side and comfort her whenever she feels down or upset as Mori trust her with all her heart.
Yejin | 22 | Main Vocalist, Sub-Rapper, Maknae | Yeri of Red Velvet | Same as Mori, Stella loves babying not only because she is the youngest but because she is also targetted for the most hate comments. She always has a soft spot for Yejin and although Yejin might not show it she's actually grateful for her unnie as well.
FRIENDS:
Park Somi | 30 | Manager of MELODY| Park Eunbin | Somi is probably Stella's Mother in an alternate universe. She supports whatever decision the girls would make. Always want to make them feel comfortable and if they are faced with backlash, Somi will almost immediately come to their rescue and fix things. Stella and Somi's interactions can be described as something akin to a mother and daughter one. With Stella being so rebellious and Somi sometimes having enough with her antics. Deep inside though Stella loves Somi and is one of the few people who actually would talk it out to Stella if she's being stubborn or just right out moody. The only person in Stella's book who can actually tame her.
Eric Nam | 31 | Soloist | They first meet because of a special collaboration they did. Being an American-Asian as well they hit it off rather well. They're so close people thought they were dating in which both parties denied. They just really get along well and knowing somene speaking in her comfortable language is always a great companion to be with at times.
Sejeong | 23 | Soloist/Member of Gugudan | Stella and Sejeong met at the set of immortal song. The two hit it off well when Sejeong initiate to go and meet the group and admits she'sa huge fan. Sejeong took a liking towards Stella and Stella was a bit flustered of course as she is a big fan as well. Both of them would be sending supporting videos and would get caught by dispatch having a fun time at a restuarant of having fun. There is even an ongoing joke that both of them are long-lost sisters which both of them use at their advantage while posing for the camera whenever they get caught.

HER STORY:
PERSONALITY TRAITS:
(+) confident, driven, self-less, gentle, sweet
(-) overly-competitive, workaholic, moody, brutally-honest
PERSONALITY :
(+) if you ever saw a meaning of confidence in real life, you'll look at the one and only Shin Stella. The way she walks, talk and carris herself just screams confidence. She never has one doubt about herself, she knows what she wants and knows how to do it, it's part of her charm that everyone gravitates towards her. Part of that is her driven personality. Always on time, practicing late until the night comes, always wear a smile on her face even if she's dead beat tired: she'll do it all. She just isn't a friend for being lazy and for being a , she can say anything they want but to Stella she wants to be focused on those goals and dreams she always prepare right ahead of time. It doesn't matter if she's going to be called names or whatnot because obviously in this industry she needs to have a thick skin in which she has and always will be a part of her.
Aside from that Stella is known for being self-less. She's often times seen giving the spotlight towards others to shine without any personal gain (despite of what she is). Even in small gestures she'll think about others except for herself. It comes to the point where she tends to forget to even think about herself, or better yet forget about taking care of herself but she would always dismiss this fact because she doesn't want to admit weakness in front of people.
Stella is surprisingly a gentle person. Gentle in a way that you can always trust her and rely on her on every circumstances because she handles everything without any preamble but with a soft touch of her warmness and steadiness. Also the sweetest person you will ever meet once you get to know her without any judgement whatsoever. If she ever trust you at all she'll always lookout for you and is always giving you sweet hugs and kisses, she adores skinship too as that is her way of showing her sweetness. Though She often times would take care of others resulting into not taking care of herself. she thinks it's a weakness that's why she wouldn't and couldn't even admit it to other people especially herself.
(-) resulting into her self-lessness, Stella is overly-competitive if you provoke her. So when you thought you got the last laugh out of Stella, she wouldn't just sit around and accept defeat, no way. Of course she would up her game just to win and see defeat in the said person's eyes, whether it'll be a friendly competition or serious competition she won't and NEVER back down until SHE get the last laugh.
The downside of this is her workaholic attitude. Everyone is, at some point, won't rest and is devoted to their jobs. But to Stella being workaholic is something she's so proud of it's unhealthy. You reason with her and she'll offer the excuse of her working her of because she wants to be devoted as much as possible. It'll go as far for her to be sulk and be moody for who knows how long, to be honest until stella calms down and you offer her a good treat such as food then maybe she will calm down but if you don't she'll be able to be moody for a whole day.
And if you get on to her bad side (which you'll never cross, ever.) she'll be brutally honest and she knows it to herself too. Out of everything Stella is, this trait of hers is what people got shivering. She isn't afraid to say anything to you whether you'll like it or not. Half of the time she'll go beyond overboard and sometimes won't even realize it (if you do make her visibly upset.) It'll sometimes make her look like a bad person most of the time but her brutal-honesty is something she won't ever change in herself, she wants to put boundaries to people who likes to invade, judge and put everything else into when she isn't doing whatever blabber non-sense people talk to her and will make sure she will get your own medicine inside your mouth from doing so.
PERSONAL LIFE:
Shin Stella (or Shin Sunhwa, her korean name) was first born at the humbling place at Seongbuk-dong, Seoul South Korea before moving to Manchester, England at the age of 5. With one older brother and older sister, her family is quite known in the bussiness economy. Her mother, being one of the top cardiologist and her Father is a well-known figure CEO of SHIN ENTERPRISES which he owned three of the hospital branches in the UK. As you can see Stella, since she was born, already has a silver spoon on . You'd think Stella doesn't have an ounce of regret and is living a good life since she was a child, waking up every morning to a full breakfast on bed, seeing her clothes already laid out ahead of it's day, going to fancy gatherings, dressing fancy clothes, studying at one of the most prestigious school, having famous friends etc. so on and so forth.
Well, you're dead wrong. Stella just hates it. Not to say she hates the care her parents are giving oh no, in fact, she actually is grateful that she is lucky enough to eat three meals a day, but what she isn't fond of is how her parents are restricting her to what she really wants: music.
Music is Stella's first love and quite honestly, her soulmate. She discovers through one of her nanny's back then. Since her parents are busy all the time plus her siblings are basically slave to the books that time, being the youngest of them she tends to spend more of her time with her nannies (although she hates the term she often call them "aunties" as it doesn't feel right to her for even calling them that.) Life with her lovable auntie back then is something Stella isn't going to forget. How she hears the music on the radio one time, her auntie dancing and swaying to the rythm and Stella ever wonders how such music coming from a box can form such a positive response from her beloved auntie. They would sing, play instruments, and just occassionally listen to music. So when Stella got in deeper and sang and listen with her heart through music she knew she has a dream to get and pursue no matter how harder it gets.
Stella would often go and sneak out at ungodly hours just to listen to music, sometiimes she would skip school or her friend's invitations just so she can learn instruments (she likes the piano and the flute the most), and of course often times she would go and sing her heart out at a pub near the school, the audience loves her singing and Stella would often make covers and upload it on soundcloud (with an alias of course). Everyone around her knew she has a knack for it. Everytime there's an event in her school she'll immediately self-volunteer as she loves music that much and it only amplifies it to a point where she wanna pursue it as a profession and wants to sing and perform. And although her siblings were a bit hesitant on this, they supported Stella full time, knowing full well that once Stella started dreaming so big they know they wouldn't even dare to even minimize it.
Not until her parents knew that is. Stella knew this yet she kept this a secret to her parents for years. She would lie everytime her parents asked her about university, how her future is already set from the beginning and Stella hates it, wants to shout it to the world how much she loves music and would go to the ends of the world just to attain and perform on the stage and sing. Her father was the most affected by it because he doesn't want to waste such a thing for Stella to be going away. This was months of rebelling against her parents, she would come home late at night, skipping classes (though still would maintain her grades because she always pass her projects ahead of time) and of course singing and making covers on Youtube. And after all the rebellious act her father is still lenient with her future cause no matter what, she'll always be a daughter of a famous CEO who is bound to follow the steps of the family's business.
This statement enraged Stella more than anything that she had to go out and go to where she wants to feel at ease more, to her birthplace, South Korea. Of course, between this, her siblings at a war between letting Stella go at such a young age (she was 17 at that time, almost finishing her highschool). Especially her brother as he doesn't want a huge rift between his parent's and Stella, but knowing his younger sister's stance, he can't help but to feel at a loss with things so on his part he was against it. Well Stella's sister was the one who initiate and helped her pack things that night and go to Seoul all by herself. Stella didn't even look back, the only thing she remembers is her sister's encouraging words and her brother's tear striken face as she lets go of her beloved sister.
Fast forward to the present, Stella is a now successful member of a fairly known group and a solo artist in the Korean Industry. She still isn't on speaking terms with her father, but on the bright side she made amends with her mother and apologized dearly to what she have caused in the heat of the moment that happened in the past. But what she isn't gonna apologize for is following her dreams.
She also would let her siblings visit when there comes a time they make a trip to Seoul to visit Stella (sometimes it's her sister, but most of the time it's gonna be her older brother) because of business trips and whatnot. She loves the life she has now, she isn't gonna say she hates the life she has back then, but this life of performing and singing to her heart's content is something she has yearned for through all the years and won't ever change it for the world.

KICK IT Studios (2010, 8 months)
As soon as Stella landed in Seoul, she already knew people would talk about her. Of course her father is such a famous figure that everyone will talk about the rebellious child that go against the family's reputation and Stella wants none of it. She starts anew, even having a part time job at a local pet shop (with the help of her sister of course though as time goes by she starts living by herself) . She still does covers from time to time and for the first time in her life she tries busking. Often times she would go to different parts of tourist places in Seoul and do singing on the side and she does this all by herself. Life is something simple for Stella that time and very content with how things are going for her. People would often come by her busking shows and a crowd would gather (Of course of how she looks plus her stunning vocals that people can't help admire) but of course she can't help but feel like something is missing. She wanted to perform (not saying she hates busking, to be honest she loves busking, it's her life and would definitely pursue this) to a large scale stage, release her own music and finally make a name for herself.
Until an opportunity rises when she was scouted by a entertainment company. At First Stella wasn't too keen on being on a company that small but of course knowing how much she wanted to enter the music industry she tried it out, of course the company only want for her to audition and if she isn't too satisfied then she can go her way.
Some say that Stella got it easy when she is training under KICK IT Studios but while it is true half of it is because they knew what Stella was. The trainee life she had is so easy, she can walk freely without sweating and working hard for something she doesn't want. She trained for only 8 months until she was scouted by another company called ICON Entertainment (becuase of her covers and videos she has while busking, Stella of course doesn't know the scale of her popularity that time) and Stella knew she found the one who'll make her dreams come true.
ICON MEDIA Entertainment (2010-Present)
Training in ICON MEDIA is a taste of hardwork Stella is looking for. Her company doesn't care where she came from and most importantly they heavily relied on talents alone. She wouldn't lie if she said she wasn't shocked at the real training that commenced throughout the years she was in the company. Yes, they we're stares, and yes, everyone around her would whisper about this and that, rumors left and right. She isn't really the type to indulge into those so she ignored it anyway through training hard. She learned dancing but she knew she wasn't A plus on this still she has the hardest time catching up with a lot of trainess. At some point she wanted to quit, she doesn't wanna be put in an embarassing way to perform on stage especially now that the rumours of an upcoming group is what she's nervous about.
She never wanted to be put in a group, she wants to be a solo. It has been bugging her ever since she landed on ICON MEDIA. The girls she was with throughout her training seems accomodating and is friendly to her, she wants to befriend them but knowing that she will be put in the group with these girls nonetheless make it seem like it's the end of her.
Because of this Stella would always eat when she's stressed and is upset by how many mistakes she takes that day. She was such in a dark place that she doesn't know where she is headed. Truthfully she wants to do whatever it takes for her to be on the center-stage, especially with her talent she knows she's gonna make it in the industry, yet at the back of her mind she keeps on questioning whether she'll even be put on the center stage as a solo. She knows other girls would have to fight tooth and nail for this position alone. She thought and would often be lock herself in a room throughout this time but what came her out of her shell is her future members that are so sweet and comforting she can't help but feel quilty all of a sudden.
DEBUT // MELODY // 2014-Present
Training for 5 years it's finally time to shine with the group's name MELODY. Stella already had a hunch she'll debuting in a group of five talented ladies aside. Upon debut though people can't help but to judge them. They didn't have the capacity to hold a time-slot on being in music programs so they opt out for performing outside whenever they have promotions. It took them awhile to gain fanbase as well. Being in a small and a very freshly opened company, Stella can understand why people would look somewhere else that is familliar. Until people knew of Stella's past.
This quite cause a stir in the Korean Industry, Stella was even the target of malicious comments and threats. Throughout the years of performing people likes to target Stella as a rebellious one, the y one, the one who doesn't look like she's enjoying the stage. To Stella she doesn't care, time and time again she would perform with a smile on her face and dance even if it means breaking her bones for it. It doesn't take time until they gained popularity through singing competition that the group both joined and suddenly garner people's interest.
Now, MELODY is known for their sweet smooth vocals and pure captivating personalities. Because of this people can't help but to sing to their songs and always play everywhere else in Seoul. Of course there are always hurtful messages and stuff like that but beneath of it all the fans and the supporters of MELODY outweighs all of it.

HER WORLD:
FAMILY:
Shin David (Shin Dong-woo) (fc: Chun Ho Jin) | 55 | Father | Because of what happened in the past, Stella doesn't have the heart in her to talk to her father. Although at times whenever she video calls her siblings on how they are doing. She would glance at her father and offer him a smile saying she is doing well. Part of her wants to act cocky while saying she made it, but knowing her father, she might take it a little too far.
Amelia Lewis (fc:vera farmiga) | 50 | Mother | They already made up when Stella fist made her solo debut. That's how long they decided to take the tension away. Her mother isn't like her father though. Amelia is a gentle and kind one. Although she was deeply against at what Stella did, Amelia knew it already happened and now that she's seeing her daughter happy she is content with it. The relationship between them is always gentle and warm. Amelia making sure she's doing and resting well whenever Stella calls her because sometimes she would miss her mother dearly.
Shin Allen (Shin Seokwoo) (fc: ha seok jin)| 32 | Older Brother | Allen is the type of brother who would be overprotective of Stella even if she's on the other side of the country. Stella sometimes hates it but can't help but be amazed at how soft his brother is towards her. Allen was the first one who rejects Stella's big move to Seoul but as time gradually passes by he came to understand Stella has a dream. Often times though Stella would always brother, but Allen being a serious person sometimes doesn't know what a joke is so he'll be confused at Stella's antics. Stella loves it though and she wouldn't change her brother at all.
Shin Vanessa (Shin Sori) (fc: chae soo bin) | 29 | Older Sister | Her confidant, her best friend forever. Stella has always been inclined with Vanessa ever since she was small. This is where Stella felt like a normal kid when she hangs out with Vanessa. Vanessa makes Stella feel like they are in a normal family with no prying eyes and no reputation to uphold of. Vanessa likes to care about Stella and loves Stella's dream of becoming a Singer, and Stella at the same time supports Vanessa's dream on the other side of the world. Her relationship with her sister is stronger than anything that she's willing to sacrfice everything vice-versa. They won't be seperated no matter what happens.
GROUP MEMBERS:
Rena | 29 | Leader, Main Rapper, Lead Dancer, Visual, Center | Irene of Red Velvet | Stella's not gonna lie if she said she wasn't intimidated when she first met Rena. To be honest, it all changed when they debut. Rena reminds her of Stella's older sister back then. Rena treats her so warm like a sister would do and Stella sometimes is awkward at receiving that, but gradually when they've gone ups and downs together they became so close that they would often call each other even if they already met 2 seconds ago. Rena is a leaning shoulder to Stella whenever she's upset about something and would be by Stella's side in a hearbeat.
Haneul | 24 | Lead Rapper, Sub-Vocalist | Joy of Red Velvet | Haneul is Stella's number 1 supporter. She would always support Stella in her solo career and wheenver she does anything remotely cool you'll hear Haneul's words of encouragement and just basically fangirling. Stella adores Haneul so much and takes care of her as well as being the youngest in the group.
Mori | 27 | Main Dancer, Lead Vocalist | Seulgi of Red Velvet | Mori and Stella was dubbed as a Duo who can't be inseperable. Ever since their trainee days, Stella always has a magnetic pull towards Mori and vice versa. They would do things together, eat together, practice together and to be honest, sleep together. It feels like Stella found her soulmate and Mori is just as sweet as the rest of the girls. Mori has always been the pillar too, but in contrast to Haneul, Mori is a warm bestfriend who cheers on the sidelines for Stella and Stella would repay it by being with Mori's side and comfort her whenever she feels down or upset as Mori trust her with all her heart.
Yejin | 22 | Main Vocalist, Sub-Rapper, Maknae | Yeri of Red Velvet | Same as Mori, Stella loves babying not only because she is the youngest but because she is also targetted for the most hate comments. She always has a soft spot for Yejin and although Yejin might not show it she's actually grateful for her unnie as well.
FRIENDS:
Park Somi | 30 | Manager of MELODY| Park Eunbin | Somi is probably Stella's Mother in an alternate universe. She supports whatever decision the girls would make. Always want to make them feel comfortable and if they are faced with backlash, Somi will almost immediately come to their rescue and fix things. Stella and Somi's interactions can be described as something akin to a mother and daughter one. With Stella being so rebellious and Somi sometimes having enough with her antics. Deep inside though Stella loves Somi and is one of the few people who actually would talk it out to Stella if she's being stubborn or just right out moody. The only person in Stella's book who can actually tame her.
Eric Nam | 31 | Soloist | They first meet because of a special collaboration they did. Being an American-Asian as well they hit it off rather well. They're so close people thought they were dating in which both parties denied. They just really get along well and knowing somene speaking in her comfortable language is always a great companion to be with at times.
Sejeong | 23 | Soloist/Member of Gugudan | Stella and Sejeong met at the set of immortal song. The two hit it off well when Sejeong initiate to go and meet the group and admits she'sa huge fan. Sejeong took a liking towards Stella and Stella was a bit flustered of course as she is a big fan as well. Both of them would be sending supporting videos and would get caught by dispatch having a fun time at a restuarant of having fun. There is even an ongoing joke that both of them are long-lost sisters which both of them use at their advantage while posing for the camera whenever they get caught.
♡ love story♡
COUPLE NAME:
Music Prodigy Couple + because of their inclination to music and how they represent Korea with their talent when it comes music. Also their collabs would often be loved by the nation and would receive chart rankings every time.
LOVE IS FATE!
HOW THEY MET:
Stella and Jun first met when Jun was tasked to produce MELODY's side tracks (Time Slip and OH BOY) Prior to this since both DYNAMITE and MELODY debuted at the same year, both groups garnered attention from how both of their success stories reflected each other. Ever since their rookie days both groups always go hand in hand in any event that's why they became close friends to each other. To Jun and Stella though, both of them are AWKWARD. Stella thinks he's too cold for her and Jun is by means intimidated by her. Even if they got scripts when giving fanservice to the fans back then they wouldn't and couldn't for the life of them interact that well towards each other.
Now back to the time Jun is going to produce MELODY's side tracks is because he genuinely knew the girls and is fitting to the concept he had in mind for the songs. of course the girls are more than glad to be given a song to one of their close acquiantances so they took the chance and record it. Jun knows the girls very well especially on what they have gone through (and is still going through) that time. He knew all of them by now except of course Stella. To Stella's side she doesn't wanna face the rapper at first because like she always imagined she thinks he's a know it all but when it involves her team having a song from a well versed producer of course she couldn't say no.
Well being judgemental is something both of them would never do again because they saw a potential towards each other. After the recording session is done, Stella stayed for awhile and was the first to say her apologies of thinking he was a cold rapper. Jun was ataken back and was quite shy when he said the same. Stella should be offended really, but she isn't, because of that cute gummy smile that was aimed at her. Both of them acknowledged how good they are at what they do, Stella with her gorgeous voice and Jun with his producing skills. and before anyone else knew it, they hit it off as friends.
HOW THEY LIKE EACH OTHER:
At first they were friends who likes to talk about music. Whenever inspiration hits Jun would often call Stella excitingly about a song he likes to do with her vocals and Stella would immediately agree to it and go to his studio too many times. Other times they just chill and talk about their woes and stress that are hidden inside their hearts. Jun being a good listener stays quiet most of the time as he lets Stella blow off some steam. Stella has a lot of relationships, and every time she has a new one netizens have something to say whether it'll be nasty or nice. Jun hated it though, how Stella's bright and beautiful eyes would cast down in sadness, he hates it even moe when she's talking about relationships of hers that didn't end well because of the fans and mostly because of netizens who breathes down her neck. and it got him wondering if this is what jealousy is. Seeing as their relationship is now them teasing each other off, Stella being comfortable inside his studio and would often sleep whenever he's doing something, How Stella fits comfortably right next to him and would joke about skinship and stuff like that. So what are they exactly?
To Stella, Jun is someone who is comfortable to be around, someone who can listen to you ramble and still be there not saying anything, Stella likes that presence so much that's why she regards him as one of her close friends, well.. maybe until she just loves the way he smiles at her, loves the way he scrunches his nose when he's in deep thought or his laugh that his gummy would appear and it something so wonderful to hear Jun's songs, dreams and hope. Never in her life would she see someone so determined and at the same time so soft on the inside that everytime he looks at her she can't help but be a stuttering mess.
HOW THEY GOT TOGETHER:
This goes on for months, always doubting whethere they like each other or not, the members would want to knock some sense to those two, but knowing both of them are tough and a bit stubborn on the inside it'll be sooner until they both realized their feelings for each other. Through the months, Stella already got her heart broken yet again by another relationship she had when she's preparing for her solo album. Jun was there when he's producing their song together that he was featured. Let's just say that night Jun can't take it anymore that he pours out his feelings to Stella. And to Stella with a tear-stricken face, not because of her heart being broken, but because she can't believe, that a person like her would ever come to love someone like Jun. and by then They already knew what their heart's desire towards each other.
ANNIVERSARY DATE
December 10, 2017
WE GOT CAUGHT!
Fans already knew since the beginning of 2017 that there must be something going on between Stella and Jun. The evidences they would pick up between shows and sometimes when both groups have scheduless together even confirmed their suspicions. Others think it's just becaus they are close to each other and that female to male friends exist. To that fact, the fans and other netizens thought of it as delusions when they see Stella with almost new relationships every time. By that time around Stella's appearance on Jun's radio show, they saw how the two looks like they are flirting and really comfortable towards each other. Some netizens and fans think they are dating each other, others think it's their personality that's why they act that way towards each other.
Stella and Jun of course knew how the netizens react but they paid no attention to it since they don't want to be seen as they are not yet ready to reveal their relationship. They would always practice the way they would glance at each other, sometimes appearing friendly as possible though in the eyes of both their fanbase they get a little bit keen on how they knew their couple items quickly. Also they pick up quite well when Jun was on the guest of Return of the Superman how the kid is a fan of MELODY and almost immediately Jun pulls out a MELODY song from his phone resulting into seeing a very blurry screencap of what looks to Stella in his wallpaper, of course that isn't enough evidence but when they got to the studio they saw a jacket that Stella often wears on her airport pictures and dance practices together. Other fans think it's ridiculous to even have the same jacket likely because they don't want Jun to be linked with Stella, while others think it's just coincidence and a lot of idols wear the same stuff anyway. Stella and Jun would often laugh it off and act like it's the most ridiculous thing, they're open about being "friends" in front of the public and because of their reputation on doing collabs and features often netizens disregards this and just go on with their day.
GOING OUT TO THE PUBLIC:
Both knew that they have to come clean though, they were tired of always smiling and laughing as if their good friends. Mostly Stella being jealous because fans think it's not okay for Jun to be linked by her, also they have to stop all these rumors left and right about both of their respective love lives. They both want to show their relationship to everyone, that behind those songs and collabs, that they are defining them as love letters towards each other.
So when they announced that they are indeed in a 3 year relationship. The whole nation was quite shocked, the other half knew it already, and of course the others just don't simply care. They we're the hot-topic of every korean news article and at first they kind of regret it, seeing how it garnered much attention. Long hate comments for Stella and a lot of fans leaving Jun. It was chaotic but as time goes by everyone came to a standpoint that Jun and Stella are happy, there are still hate here and there but at the end of the day they love each other and that's not gonna change. Sometimes though they would lessen their eye contact, lessen the skinship and often times both of them are a bit uncomfortable with so many articles now popping uphere and there. Rumors that they don't have a control of and antis who want them out of their group.
Time goes by though they started to become aware and just pay no attention to it, it but they don't wanna be affected by the articles AT ALL. So they do more songs and collabs together, they wouldn't care if they are being cursed or shamed at. At the positive side of things though, other netizens are happy for them, would even want them to get married at some point but right now they are focusing on their relationship and career.
OUR LOVE IS FOREVER!
PUBLIC&PRIVATE:
In public, Jun and Stella's relationship didn't really change. It's still the same at it was before. The sweet yet shy glances they give to each other, the teasings they often did, and the sweet but subtle touch they would sneak around whenever the camera is on them.
But that doesn't mean they are the same as well in closed doors. Those sweet shy glances are more amplified when they it's just the two of them. Skinship is very much evident when they are alone. Stella is a cuddler so Jun is more than welcome to allow Stella to hug, kiss, ran her fingers through his hair and just do whatever Stella likes to do to him. Mostly Stella likes kissing Jun's lips and cheeks in which Jun would be extremely flustered and Stella just looooves Jun when he is flustered. Also the two would end up having long hours of late night calls, until the other one passes out sleeping that's when they mostly hang up.
Most of the time what the camera doesn't see is how natural they take care of each other. Their members think it's because of how they have that feel of a newly married couple.
How Jun's hands is automatically on Stella's waist whenever he tries to aid her, or when he takes off his jacket when Stella is wearing a skirt and how he diligently take care of her with warm ease and feel. on the other hand, Stella likes to treat Jun with a lot of care, although not as showy and like Jun, as naturally as she is. Bringing him iced americano right next to his desk, scolding him when he overworks himself, warms him up if he's feeling cold, listening to music along with him, taking care of Joo whenever Jun is sleeping, cooking him home-made meals that Stella loves to make for him and just feeding him.
When Jun is in that "mood" again Stella would cheer him up, sometimes even scolding him (albeit with love) because of him overworking. Stella would bring lots of food and stay at his studio just enjoying the comforting silence both of them seem to understand, it's more noticeable as well how Jun is worried about Stella whenever comeback season is approaching so he would secretly put a lot more food on Stella's plate because he knew she'll be doing those dangerous diets that she seem to take a little bit too seriously. Stella on the other hand, likes and loves teasing and just being with Jun all the time. She wouldn't and couldn't seperate herself with Jun if it's that time of the month and Jun really loves it, although a lot of times when Stella is moody and Jun knows it, he'll come full prepared and coax her at ease. If however, Jun is not in the mood, Stella would calm him down with coffee (one of Jun's favorite) and cuddle him until he feels better (which makes Jun very very satisfied at the same time flustered)

Music Prodigy Couple + because of their inclination to music and how they represent Korea with their talent when it comes music. Also their collabs would often be loved by the nation and would receive chart rankings every time.
LOVE IS FATE!
HOW THEY MET:
Stella and Jun first met when Jun was tasked to produce MELODY's side tracks (Time Slip and OH BOY) Prior to this since both DYNAMITE and MELODY debuted at the same year, both groups garnered attention from how both of their success stories reflected each other. Ever since their rookie days both groups always go hand in hand in any event that's why they became close friends to each other. To Jun and Stella though, both of them are AWKWARD. Stella thinks he's too cold for her and Jun is by means intimidated by her. Even if they got scripts when giving fanservice to the fans back then they wouldn't and couldn't for the life of them interact that well towards each other.
Now back to the time Jun is going to produce MELODY's side tracks is because he genuinely knew the girls and is fitting to the concept he had in mind for the songs. of course the girls are more than glad to be given a song to one of their close acquiantances so they took the chance and record it. Jun knows the girls very well especially on what they have gone through (and is still going through) that time. He knew all of them by now except of course Stella. To Stella's side she doesn't wanna face the rapper at first because like she always imagined she thinks he's a know it all but when it involves her team having a song from a well versed producer of course she couldn't say no.
Well being judgemental is something both of them would never do again because they saw a potential towards each other. After the recording session is done, Stella stayed for awhile and was the first to say her apologies of thinking he was a cold rapper. Jun was ataken back and was quite shy when he said the same. Stella should be offended really, but she isn't, because of that cute gummy smile that was aimed at her. Both of them acknowledged how good they are at what they do, Stella with her gorgeous voice and Jun with his producing skills. and before anyone else knew it, they hit it off as friends.
HOW THEY LIKE EACH OTHER:
At first they were friends who likes to talk about music. Whenever inspiration hits Jun would often call Stella excitingly about a song he likes to do with her vocals and Stella would immediately agree to it and go to his studio too many times. Other times they just chill and talk about their woes and stress that are hidden inside their hearts. Jun being a good listener stays quiet most of the time as he lets Stella blow off some steam. Stella has a lot of relationships, and every time she has a new one netizens have something to say whether it'll be nasty or nice. Jun hated it though, how Stella's bright and beautiful eyes would cast down in sadness, he hates it even moe when she's talking about relationships of hers that didn't end well because of the fans and mostly because of netizens who breathes down her neck. and it got him wondering if this is what jealousy is. Seeing as their relationship is now them teasing each other off, Stella being comfortable inside his studio and would often sleep whenever he's doing something, How Stella fits comfortably right next to him and would joke about skinship and stuff like that. So what are they exactly?
To Stella, Jun is someone who is comfortable to be around, someone who can listen to you ramble and still be there not saying anything, Stella likes that presence so much that's why she regards him as one of her close friends, well.. maybe until she just loves the way he smiles at her, loves the way he scrunches his nose when he's in deep thought or his laugh that his gummy would appear and it something so wonderful to hear Jun's songs, dreams and hope. Never in her life would she see someone so determined and at the same time so soft on the inside that everytime he looks at her she can't help but be a stuttering mess.
HOW THEY GOT TOGETHER:
This goes on for months, always doubting whethere they like each other or not, the members would want to knock some sense to those two, but knowing both of them are tough and a bit stubborn on the inside it'll be sooner until they both realized their feelings for each other. Through the months, Stella already got her heart broken yet again by another relationship she had when she's preparing for her solo album. Jun was there when he's producing their song together that he was featured. Let's just say that night Jun can't take it anymore that he pours out his feelings to Stella. And to Stella with a tear-stricken face, not because of her heart being broken, but because she can't believe, that a person like her would ever come to love someone like Jun. and by then They already knew what their heart's desire towards each other.
ANNIVERSARY DATE
December 10, 2017
WE GOT CAUGHT!
Fans already knew since the beginning of 2017 that there must be something going on between Stella and Jun. The evidences they would pick up between shows and sometimes when both groups have scheduless together even confirmed their suspicions. Others think it's just becaus they are close to each other and that female to male friends exist. To that fact, the fans and other netizens thought of it as delusions when they see Stella with almost new relationships every time. By that time around Stella's appearance on Jun's radio show, they saw how the two looks like they are flirting and really comfortable towards each other. Some netizens and fans think they are dating each other, others think it's their personality that's why they act that way towards each other.
Stella and Jun of course knew how the netizens react but they paid no attention to it since they don't want to be seen as they are not yet ready to reveal their relationship. They would always practice the way they would glance at each other, sometimes appearing friendly as possible though in the eyes of both their fanbase they get a little bit keen on how they knew their couple items quickly. Also they pick up quite well when Jun was on the guest of Return of the Superman how the kid is a fan of MELODY and almost immediately Jun pulls out a MELODY song from his phone resulting into seeing a very blurry screencap of what looks to Stella in his wallpaper, of course that isn't enough evidence but when they got to the studio they saw a jacket that Stella often wears on her airport pictures and dance practices together. Other fans think it's ridiculous to even have the same jacket likely because they don't want Jun to be linked with Stella, while others think it's just coincidence and a lot of idols wear the same stuff anyway. Stella and Jun would often laugh it off and act like it's the most ridiculous thing, they're open about being "friends" in front of the public and because of their reputation on doing collabs and features often netizens disregards this and just go on with their day.
GOING OUT TO THE PUBLIC:
Both knew that they have to come clean though, they were tired of always smiling and laughing as if their good friends. Mostly Stella being jealous because fans think it's not okay for Jun to be linked by her, also they have to stop all these rumors left and right about both of their respective love lives. They both want to show their relationship to everyone, that behind those songs and collabs, that they are defining them as love letters towards each other.
So when they announced that they are indeed in a 3 year relationship. The whole nation was quite shocked, the other half knew it already, and of course the others just don't simply care. They we're the hot-topic of every korean news article and at first they kind of regret it, seeing how it garnered much attention. Long hate comments for Stella and a lot of fans leaving Jun. It was chaotic but as time goes by everyone came to a standpoint that Jun and Stella are happy, there are still hate here and there but at the end of the day they love each other and that's not gonna change. Sometimes though they would lessen their eye contact, lessen the skinship and often times both of them are a bit uncomfortable with so many articles now popping uphere and there. Rumors that they don't have a control of and antis who want them out of their group.
Time goes by though they started to become aware and just pay no attention to it, it but they don't wanna be affected by the articles AT ALL. So they do more songs and collabs together, they wouldn't care if they are being cursed or shamed at. At the positive side of things though, other netizens are happy for them, would even want them to get married at some point but right now they are focusing on their relationship and career.

HIS STORY:
PERSONALITY TRAITS:
(+) hardworking, dedicated, genuine, caring
(-) self-critical, workaholic, petty, lazy
PERSONALITY :
(+) "Hey, it's already 4 in the morning, did you even eat?" Jun never once in his life knows what rest is. Day by day if inspiration hits him he's gonna work on it all day until he can see the sun rising. He will take knowledge of everyone around him but when he's in deep concentration and full of ideas he wouldn't rest until he's finished, he's gonna try and let out all the energy that he's been thinking of until he can feel the tiredness stick to him. He does this with full passion and always will do whatever it takes for his ideas to shape, especially when he forgets a dance he missed on the choreo, polishing songs that he needs to fix, recording vocals and rap for the other members so on and so forth. he'll stay behind up until late at night and wouldn't give it a rest until it's perfect. Though he's sleeping schedules are messy as hell he wouldn't give up the chance of him messing up even after praticing for a hundred time.
that's why behind his hardworking nature, he's always dedicated to everything he does. he knows what he's doing to accomplish such task and would give his 100% to it. he doesn't falter, misguide or distract himself to anything other than the task at hand. a genuine goofball as well, when he wants to say, point out, open something out he'll do it without any facade. he does things with honesty and without filter, although sometimes a little bit harsh he does it in a way that you won't be hurt but at the same time will call you out on it if you ever did something wrong. a very caring person, he wouldn't even think upon it, he'll act it out. he'll never verbalize it though cause he (mostly shy) about saying feelings so in a way he shows his caring side a lot. if you need to eat? he'll give half of what's he's eating to you even though he's hungry, need to sleep? he'll give up the comfortable spot he's in just so you can relax, feeling down? he'll be with you through it all whether you want silence from him or just want to hear his voice to cheer you up. he'll do anything through action with a warm caring feel to it.
(-) with his hardworking attitude he can't help but to be self-critical of himself. he's the type that when something doesn't sound right, he's gonna sulk and probably pick out every tiniest mistake he did on days end. even making himself awake in the middle of the night thinking of what he have done wrong, spacing out in the middle of the practice just to recollect the past mistakes that he did. he'll be so overly critical of himself that often times he'll be burrying himself deep in his work. workaholic is something you can't take of off Jun. he's a natural at working almost 12 hours a day (he would end up not eating and to be honest he wanted to change that.) at some point would faint and be weak because he doesn't allow himself to rest, it will take s a lot for him to go out of the studio (sometimes bribing works or better yet calling stella would get his out of the studio.)
and when you make him grumpy or upset he'll be letting out his pettiness in a heartbeat, although not serious, it comes at times when he doesn't wanna get disturbed or you're just messing up something you shouldn't mess and he spot you at the exact moment. he wouldn't show it, but he'll definitely sulk and pout about it. there are times when Jun doesn't want to move and stay still and sleep all day. it's very contradicting to his hardworking side, because even though he works himself to the bones, once he use up that energy, if he doesn't have any mood for it, he'll just never stand up (often times when it's his day off) he'll just play with his phone, sleep, eat, or just listen to music.
PERSONAL LIFE:
Nam Junwoo was born and raised at the humbling countryside of Busan. Living with his parents and one older brother, and younger sister. Throughout his life Junwoo can say that living there is something he wouldn't take for granted, the fresh breeze he feels whenever he goes to and from school reminds him of familiarity and home. Junwoo has always been a good kid to his parents. His father was once part of a band back but now he works as a seaman at a port and his mother was once a former traditional dancer, now being a housewife. He's been surrounded by music and arts throughout his life that he was greatly influenced by it.
His love for music is deeper than any sea could have. He's been listening to different cassette tapes his father used to have, puts it in his mini radio and listen to it all night. He likes how the rythm, beats and voices blend in togeher really well, especially the words that can be sung in a piece like music. At this point he also discovered his love for piano, he would often stop at his friendly neigbourhood grandpa who would offer him piano lessons, he was fond of him as he is very gentle at the same time strict when teaching. In that way he learned a lot about music, how they all come to life, always fascinated by the way music conveys and make him feel things (compassion? sadness? nostalgicness?) either way it was something he couldn't and wouldn't forget throughout his life.
fast forward to when he was 15, he was dubbed as that lyrical genius kid. often times he would participate in school festivals as he performs his original songs, sometimes he would enter a poem contest just for the sake of it. but of course the highlight of his life in busan is joining an underground rap battle. it was unexpected, at first Junwoo was only here for the music, for the lyrics he would like to pour out one day but now he's here, with a lot of intimidating yet charming rappers who battle against each other just so they can piss off one another. Junwoo would be lying if he said he isn't scared as hell. of course he would. A fifteen year old boy joining in an underground rap? it's something you don't see everyday especially in such a humbling place like busan, but Junwoo took it as a ticket for his another lifelong dream : being a rapper. and not just an "Idol" rapper like anyone would often say, a serious hip-hop rapper that can go to any places and not just someone who they can mock. a rapper that can say and open the minds of other people about serious topics that he can educate them. a rapper with dreams and passion so that he can make a difference on the world.
At first of course his father wouldn't agree to it, he was young and still has a lot to learn he couldn't be doing this and suddenly ran off to the big city of seoul. But his mother pushes for him to do whatever he wants as long as he can survive the big world out there. He couldn't help but think that he has the stance of his mother yet the persistence of his father. This caused such a huge problem between his family, and although his father was against it, finally, after a lot of convincing, he lets his 2nd child do what he wants the most.
After a lot of hardships, hardwork. Living the dream as one of the top producers and part of the top group is something he still couldn't believe up to this day. Solely thanking his family especially his parents for allowing his dream despite the convincing he had to do to let him be on where he is now. The distance that he has with his father back then (even during those times he's in seoul training hard) got resolved through time, and although busy he still finds the time to visit his family whenever he can and would often initiate a get-together to catch up and bond with them every day off he gets.

IDOL LIFE:
GEM ENT. 2008 - 2012
At the age of Fifteen Jun took the courage and got on the first train to Seoul to audition in GEM ENTERTAINMENT. Although he was there to solely propose and sell his self-written songs, he was mistaken as a auditionee earning the spot to audition for GEM ENTERTAINMENT (A hip-hip group label back then). Of course knowing Jun, he wanted to decline the offer because he was only here to sell his own songs, but out of nervousness at that time he was given a chance to do a freestyle rap and by the look of panel of judges that day they knew they hit the jackpot with this one.
Jun would have never thought of being a trainee under GEM ENTERTAINMENT despite of the the small reputation the company has. He wouldn't say it was the easiest training he experienced, it was in fact the most draining, both physical and mentally, training of his damn life. He could barely keep up with the days and weeks of being isolated on a practice room alone. He has a lot to work up to because first of all he's a rapper, he doesn't know a thing about dancing (he didn't inherit his mother's abilities sadly), keeping up an aura in front of the judges during assesment month, smiling infront of everyone, keeping his weight in such unhealthy way and would often gone sick.
Other than that, half of the trainees hates his guts. Especially the ones who just got in just cause they needed something to work with, not really seeing a potential in them or anything. He thought to himself that maybe his father was right. That he's just wasting his youth doing things that isn't gonna benefit him in anyway. He often think of going back home and just live a normal life. It comes to a point where the company didn't offer them that much of an allowance for their food that others opt for part time jobs. Jun took a part time job as a delivery boy momentarily while training for the company. He was at the lowest point of his life back then so he called his mother saying he doesn't wanna do this anymore, only his mother was the one who snapped him out of a trance and told him to keep on moving if he really wants to. He looked back on the training he does day in and day out, also despite of being the targetted attention that was thrown at him he trained for the awaiting debut, at this time, he doubts he's gonna be a producer, but his love for rapping wouldn't even change a thing, so he trained for 5 years before GEM ENT got bankrupt and decided to hand it over to someone else.
BIGHIT ENT. 2012-Present
Jun already knew it's dead end for him when they announced the dreaded scene in front of him. Where would he go? Where would he even sleep? He can't even face his family after all the bravado he did of coming here just to become a rapper and a producer. But a light out of the darkness came to Jun when the new CEO came and renamed the company as BIG HIT ENT. At first Jun was terified. He doesn't know if it's gonna be worst or for the better, some trainees left (which is a lot of them) some even stayed behind. Thankfully the company isn't as strict as the other one, and even though not a huge company since they are starting again, it isn't different on how korean entertainment companies work, though they do it in a way that won't be affecting a trainee's physical and mental health.
Compared to GEM ENTERTAINMENT, when he got the word that he'll be training again and he'll have the privilege to create and suggesst self written songs, Jun almost cried. He would have never thought of this position at all. He wasn't granted with a lot of freedom back then despite of the favoritism of the CEO on him back then. He trained hard as always even though vocal coaches, trainers and other trainees tells him to take it easy. Of course he won't take it this easy, he already has the vision of his goal the only thing he needed to do was to succeed, he was strongly dedicated this time witht the amount of encouragement he receive from the others as well. Trainees come and go but Jun stayed, along with his now members. They spent the time waiting for their debut and although their final line-up isn't decided yet, they still dreamed big and trained as hard as they can.
Until the debut happened. It's finally here.
DEBUT // DYNAMITE // 2014-Present
Composing of 7 members, DYNAMITE was introduced to the world. A hip-hop boy group who came from a very small company, and wowed the nation with their cool dance skills, sharp rap skills, and heavenly voices. Of course not all of it is glitz and glamour, after all, they are still a very small sized company compared to other ones.
They would often get cut off during end of the year stages, sometimes going as far as not even showing their faces, they received a lot of hate for being criticized as a hip-hop group because of stereotypes of them being problematic. To be honest, Jun was one of them. With his hard cold face you would think he's gonna punch or even glare at you for just breathing on his way. It was not the case, the members of DYNAMITE are just kids who likes and has a passion for performing. Dorks who just like to play around, and of course kids who just like to make a difference on the world.
After years of hardships, unfairness into their group they finally conquered it all when they gained their popularity with their songs that are loved mostly from international audience. That skyrocket their fame and now they are one of the top groups, everyone looks up to them, everyone wants to book them. Even with the roaring popularity though they won't forget their fans support and especially their special loved ones. They always give out to everything they do to their fans through music, charities and concerts so on and so forth which just solidify their popularity and their growing admirers everyday.

HIS WORLD
FAMILY:
Nam Sunggi (fc: Yoo Jae Myung)| 50 | Father | Jun and his father often interact when it comes to Jun's well being. Being in Seoul and far away from his son. he would often become a bit moody still because of what happened in the past, but Jun knows it's just him being soft despite of his father's grumblings.
Nam Hyeri (fc: Lee Il Hwa) | 55 | Mother| Hyeri just loves to spoil Jun because of his tendency to over-work himself. Jun on the other hand dismiss this and just can't help but be a kid to his mother. Yes. he admits it. He's a big mama's boy and would like to be spoiled by her. But knowing her mom's fiesty and strong personality sometimes it goes without saying that Hyeri treats her children with tough love.
Nam Sewoo (fc: Lee SangYeob) | 30 | Older Brother | Aside from his mother, Junwoo gathers strength and support the most from his older brother. Whenever he has problems or just stressed he'll definitely call Sewoo for advice. It'll go as far as talking until the morning comes or better yet until Junwoo feels sleepy. Sewoo likes to keep it real though to Junwoo and Junwoo appreaciates it so much, they have a strong man to man brotherly love that they always would show when they are together.
Nam Chaeri (fc: gowon of loona) | 18 | Younger Sister | they have this love-hate relationship towards each other. Junwoo pissing the hell of off Chaeri and Chaeri having none of it. But all in all they have a very loving relationship, it will go as far as Junwoo ready to square up if ever someone make Chaeri cry and he'll gladly make a diss song about it if he is allowed to. Chaeri can be sometimes embarassed by the way Junwoo is overprotective (well count Sewoo in as well) because of how she is treated like a baby. She won't admit it though how cool Junwoo is to her and would probably run off embarassed if she was given the chance to admit it.
GROUP MEMBERS:
RJ | 26 | Leader, Main Rapper | RM of BTS | His companion ever since he got into GEM Entertainment At first he wasn't all enthusiastic to meet him but as time goes by when they only have each other, Junwoo can't help but confine into him when he's having trouble with a song. He's also a producer so sometimes whenever they have ideas to make a song he runs to him as well. Helps Jun with a lot of relationship advice as well even though he is single himself, he seems to be well-versed when it comes to relationships.
Jae | 27 | Main Dancer, Sub-rapper, Sub-vocalist | JHOPE of BTS | Jae was the first one to ever meet Junwoo. Their interactions at best seems like an old married couple who keeps on fighting and vice-versa. But behind doors they are bestfriends who share a lot of ups and downs (same as RJ, though for Jae and Jun they both have a deeper relationship just like an older brother has) Even though he's one year younger than Jun they always look like playful little s who run around and be playful with everyone. Jae is also the first person who accidentally knew Jun and Stella's relationship, resulting the news to spread like wildfire among them. At first Jun was really pissed but he knew deep down they won't even utter a word when keeping a secret.
Moon-Sik | 28 | Main Vocalist, Face of the Group | JIN of BTS | One of his roomates and may I add, his partner in crime when doing a lot of antics. Everyone dubbed them as the COMIC DUO as they would do crazy things that Junwoo would often go unknowingly. He just loves and supports his hyung as well and vice versa. Also the one who teases Jun and Stella alot when the latter often visit, he just likes seeing the two get flustered so much.
Dae | 26 | Lead Dancer, Sub Vocalist, Visual | V of BTS | Jun and Dae's interaction consists of Dae treating Jun as his older brother, is a brat as well and would sometimes tease the hell out of Jun whenever he's flustered about Stella.
Kiha | 26 | Main Dancer, Lead Vocalist | Jimin of BTS | Same as Dae, though Hyun is the one giving ideas for Jun on what fun dates, or what kind of gifts he would give to Stella if Jun is out of choices. Loves his hyung to dead and admires his relationship with Stella wishing he can have one as well.
Chiwoo | 25 | Lead Dancer, Main Vocalist, Center, Maknae | Jungkook of BTS | Aside from 2 brats namely Dae and Kiha, Chiwoo would complete the bunch of the maknae line. Though to Chiwoo he admires his hyung a lot, especially when he goes follow through his footsteps as he wants to learn producing as well. Sometimes a brat to him (in a loving way of course) He's always excited whenever Stella would often visit them, Jun sometimes pout and sulk but it's all in a affectionate way. Jun loves to teach the kid about what his passions are as he can see the kid being so enthustiastic whenever he would teach him about producing.
FRIENDS:
Koo Sejun | 39 | Manager of DYNAMITE | Jung Man-Sik | Since day one their manager has been there through ups and downs. Junwoo heavily rely on Sejun because he's been there from the beginning and it doesn't feel like he's a manager to him. He takes the roles of being a mother and a father well. Playful and likes to make antics around him but is really gentle and holds so many secrets that he responsibly never told anyone. Sejun would always be there for DYNAMITE no matter what odds they're in.
Kihyun | 26 | Member of MONSTA X | Jun treats Kihyun as if he's a younger brother of is. The two meet often whenever both groups have the same comeback schedules, or just seeing each other at the salon early in the morning. Whenever they have time they would go out and eat on a regular day, or hang out and chill inside the studio. Jun has a soft spot for Kihyun as he likes to take care of the younger.

HIS STORY:
PERSONALITY TRAITS:
(+) hardworking, dedicated, genuine, caring
(-) self-critical, workaholic, petty, lazy
PERSONALITY :
(+) "Hey, it's already 4 in the morning, did you even eat?" Jun never once in his life knows what rest is. Day by day if inspiration hits him he's gonna work on it all day until he can see the sun rising. He will take knowledge of everyone around him but when he's in deep concentration and full of ideas he wouldn't rest until he's finished, he's gonna try and let out all the energy that he's been thinking of until he can feel the tiredness stick to him. He does this with full passion and always will do whatever it takes for his ideas to shape, especially when he forgets a dance he missed on the choreo, polishing songs that he needs to fix, recording vocals and rap for the other members so on and so forth. he'll stay behind up until late at night and wouldn't give it a rest until it's perfect. Though he's sleeping schedules are messy as hell he wouldn't give up the chance of him messing up even after praticing for a hundred time.
that's why behind his hardworking nature, he's always dedicated to everything he does. he knows what he's doing to accomplish such task and would give his 100% to it. he doesn't falter, misguide or distract himself to anything other than the task at hand. a genuine goofball as well, when he wants to say, point out, open something out he'll do it without any facade. he does things with honesty and without filter, although sometimes a little bit harsh he does it in a way that you won't be hurt but at the same time will call you out on it if you ever did something wrong. a very caring person, he wouldn't even think upon it, he'll act it out. he'll never verbalize it though cause he (mostly shy) about saying feelings so in a way he shows his caring side a lot. if you need to eat? he'll give half of what's he's eating to you even though he's hungry, need to sleep? he'll give up the comfortable spot he's in just so you can relax, feeling down? he'll be with you through it all whether you want silence from him or just want to hear his voice to cheer you up. he'll do anything through action with a warm caring feel to it.
(-) with his hardworking attitude he can't help but to be self-critical of himself. he's the type that when something doesn't sound right, he's gonna sulk and probably pick out every tiniest mistake he did on days end. even making himself awake in the middle of the night thinking of what he have done wrong, spacing out in the middle of the practice just to recollect the past mistakes that he did. he'll be so overly critical of himself that often times he'll be burrying himself deep in his work. workaholic is something you can't take of off Jun. he's a natural at working almost 12 hours a day (he would end up not eating and to be honest he wanted to change that.) at some point would faint and be weak because he doesn't allow himself to rest, it will take s a lot for him to go out of the studio (sometimes bribing works or better yet calling stella would get his out of the studio.)
and when you make him grumpy or upset he'll be letting out his pettiness in a heartbeat, although not serious, it comes at times when he doesn't wanna get disturbed or you're just messing up something you shouldn't mess and he spot you at the exact moment. he wouldn't show it, but he'll definitely sulk and pout about it. there are times when Jun doesn't want to move and stay still and sleep all day. it's very contradicting to his hardworking side, because even though he works himself to the bones, once he use up that energy, if he doesn't have any mood for it, he'll just never stand up (often times when it's his day off) he'll just play with his phone, sleep, eat, or just listen to music.
PERSONAL LIFE:
Nam Junwoo was born and raised at the humbling countryside of Busan. Living with his parents and one older brother, and younger sister. Throughout his life Junwoo can say that living there is something he wouldn't take for granted, the fresh breeze he feels whenever he goes to and from school reminds him of familiarity and home. Junwoo has always been a good kid to his parents. His father was once part of a band back but now he works as a seaman at a port and his mother was once a former traditional dancer, now being a housewife. He's been surrounded by music and arts throughout his life that he was greatly influenced by it.
His love for music is deeper than any sea could have. He's been listening to different cassette tapes his father used to have, puts it in his mini radio and listen to it all night. He likes how the rythm, beats and voices blend in togeher really well, especially the words that can be sung in a piece like music. At this point he also discovered his love for piano, he would often stop at his friendly neigbourhood grandpa who would offer him piano lessons, he was fond of him as he is very gentle at the same time strict when teaching. In that way he learned a lot about music, how they all come to life, always fascinated by the way music conveys and make him feel things (compassion? sadness? nostalgicness?) either way it was something he couldn't and wouldn't forget throughout his life.
fast forward to when he was 15, he was dubbed as that lyrical genius kid. often times he would participate in school festivals as he performs his original songs, sometimes he would enter a poem contest just for the sake of it. but of course the highlight of his life in busan is joining an underground rap battle. it was unexpected, at first Junwoo was only here for the music, for the lyrics he would like to pour out one day but now he's here, with a lot of intimidating yet charming rappers who battle against each other just so they can piss off one another. Junwoo would be lying if he said he isn't scared as hell. of course he would. A fifteen year old boy joining in an underground rap? it's something you don't see everyday especially in such a humbling place like busan, but Junwoo took it as a ticket for his another lifelong dream : being a rapper. and not just an "Idol" rapper like anyone would often say, a serious hip-hop rapper that can go to any places and not just someone who they can mock. a rapper that can say and open the minds of other people about serious topics that he can educate them. a rapper with dreams and passion so that he can make a difference on the world.
At first of course his father wouldn't agree to it, he was young and still has a lot to learn he couldn't be doing this and suddenly ran off to the big city of seoul. But his mother pushes for him to do whatever he wants as long as he can survive the big world out there. He couldn't help but think that he has the stance of his mother yet the persistence of his father. This caused such a huge problem between his family, and although his father was against it, finally, after a lot of convincing, he lets his 2nd child do what he wants the most.
After a lot of hardships, hardwork. Living the dream as one of the top producers and part of the top group is something he still couldn't believe up to this day. Solely thanking his family especially his parents for allowing his dream despite the convincing he had to do to let him be on where he is now. The distance that he has with his father back then (even during those times he's in seoul training hard) got resolved through time, and although busy he still finds the time to visit his family whenever he can and would often initiate a get-together to catch up and bond with them every day off he gets.

GEM ENT. 2008 - 2012
At the age of Fifteen Jun took the courage and got on the first train to Seoul to audition in GEM ENTERTAINMENT. Although he was there to solely propose and sell his self-written songs, he was mistaken as a auditionee earning the spot to audition for GEM ENTERTAINMENT (A hip-hip group label back then). Of course knowing Jun, he wanted to decline the offer because he was only here to sell his own songs, but out of nervousness at that time he was given a chance to do a freestyle rap and by the look of panel of judges that day they knew they hit the jackpot with this one.
Jun would have never thought of being a trainee under GEM ENTERTAINMENT despite of the the small reputation the company has. He wouldn't say it was the easiest training he experienced, it was in fact the most draining, both physical and mentally, training of his damn life. He could barely keep up with the days and weeks of being isolated on a practice room alone. He has a lot to work up to because first of all he's a rapper, he doesn't know a thing about dancing (he didn't inherit his mother's abilities sadly), keeping up an aura in front of the judges during assesment month, smiling infront of everyone, keeping his weight in such unhealthy way and would often gone sick.
Other than that, half of the trainees hates his guts. Especially the ones who just got in just cause they needed something to work with, not really seeing a potential in them or anything. He thought to himself that maybe his father was right. That he's just wasting his youth doing things that isn't gonna benefit him in anyway. He often think of going back home and just live a normal life. It comes to a point where the company didn't offer them that much of an allowance for their food that others opt for part time jobs. Jun took a part time job as a delivery boy momentarily while training for the company. He was at the lowest point of his life back then so he called his mother saying he doesn't wanna do this anymore, only his mother was the one who snapped him out of a trance and told him to keep on moving if he really wants to. He looked back on the training he does day in and day out, also despite of being the targetted attention that was thrown at him he trained for the awaiting debut, at this time, he doubts he's gonna be a producer, but his love for rapping wouldn't even change a thing, so he trained for 5 years before GEM ENT got bankrupt and decided to hand it over to someone else.
BIGHIT ENT. 2012-Present
Jun already knew it's dead end for him when they announced the dreaded scene in front of him. Where would he go? Where would he even sleep? He can't even face his family after all the bravado he did of coming here just to become a rapper and a producer. But a light out of the darkness came to Jun when the new CEO came and renamed the company as BIG HIT ENT. At first Jun was terified. He doesn't know if it's gonna be worst or for the better, some trainees left (which is a lot of them) some even stayed behind. Thankfully the company isn't as strict as the other one, and even though not a huge company since they are starting again, it isn't different on how korean entertainment companies work, though they do it in a way that won't be affecting a trainee's physical and mental health.
Compared to GEM ENTERTAINMENT, when he got the word that he'll be training again and he'll have the privilege to create and suggesst self written songs, Jun almost cried. He would have never thought of this position at all. He wasn't granted with a lot of freedom back then despite of the favoritism of the CEO on him back then. He trained hard as always even though vocal coaches, trainers and other trainees tells him to take it easy. Of course he won't take it this easy, he already has the vision of his goal the only thing he needed to do was to succeed, he was strongly dedicated this time witht the amount of encouragement he receive from the others as well. Trainees come and go but Jun stayed, along with his now members. They spent the time waiting for their debut and although their final line-up isn't decided yet, they still dreamed big and trained as hard as they can.
Until the debut happened. It's finally here.
DEBUT // DYNAMITE // 2014-Present
Composing of 7 members, DYNAMITE was introduced to the world. A hip-hop boy group who came from a very small company, and wowed the nation with their cool dance skills, sharp rap skills, and heavenly voices. Of course not all of it is glitz and glamour, after all, they are still a very small sized company compared to other ones.
They would often get cut off during end of the year stages, sometimes going as far as not even showing their faces, they received a lot of hate for being criticized as a hip-hop group because of stereotypes of them being problematic. To be honest, Jun was one of them. With his hard cold face you would think he's gonna punch or even glare at you for just breathing on his way. It was not the case, the members of DYNAMITE are just kids who likes and has a passion for performing. Dorks who just like to play around, and of course kids who just like to make a difference on the world.
After years of hardships, unfairness into their group they finally conquered it all when they gained their popularity with their songs that are loved mostly from international audience. That skyrocket their fame and now they are one of the top groups, everyone looks up to them, everyone wants to book them. Even with the roaring popularity though they won't forget their fans support and especially their special loved ones. They always give out to everything they do to their fans through music, charities and concerts so on and so forth which just solidify their popularity and their growing admirers everyday.

HIS WORLD
FAMILY:
Nam Sunggi (fc: Yoo Jae Myung)| 50 | Father | Jun and his father often interact when it comes to Jun's well being. Being in Seoul and far away from his son. he would often become a bit moody still because of what happened in the past, but Jun knows it's just him being soft despite of his father's grumblings.
Nam Hyeri (fc: Lee Il Hwa) | 55 | Mother| Hyeri just loves to spoil Jun because of his tendency to over-work himself. Jun on the other hand dismiss this and just can't help but be a kid to his mother. Yes. he admits it. He's a big mama's boy and would like to be spoiled by her. But knowing her mom's fiesty and strong personality sometimes it goes without saying that Hyeri treats her children with tough love.
Nam Sewoo (fc: Lee SangYeob) | 30 | Older Brother | Aside from his mother, Junwoo gathers strength and support the most from his older brother. Whenever he has problems or just stressed he'll definitely call Sewoo for advice. It'll go as far as talking until the morning comes or better yet until Junwoo feels sleepy. Sewoo likes to keep it real though to Junwoo and Junwoo appreaciates it so much, they have a strong man to man brotherly love that they always would show when they are together.
Nam Chaeri (fc: gowon of loona) | 18 | Younger Sister | they have this love-hate relationship towards each other. Junwoo pissing the hell of off Chaeri and Chaeri having none of it. But all in all they have a very loving relationship, it will go as far as Junwoo ready to square up if ever someone make Chaeri cry and he'll gladly make a diss song about it if he is allowed to. Chaeri can be sometimes embarassed by the way Junwoo is overprotective (well count Sewoo in as well) because of how she is treated like a baby. She won't admit it though how cool Junwoo is to her and would probably run off embarassed if she was given the chance to admit it.
GROUP MEMBERS:
RJ | 26 | Leader, Main Rapper | RM of BTS | His companion ever since he got into GEM Entertainment At first he wasn't all enthusiastic to meet him but as time goes by when they only have each other, Junwoo can't help but confine into him when he's having trouble with a song. He's also a producer so sometimes whenever they have ideas to make a song he runs to him as well. Helps Jun with a lot of relationship advice as well even though he is single himself, he seems to be well-versed when it comes to relationships.
Jae | 27 | Main Dancer, Sub-rapper, Sub-vocalist | JHOPE of BTS | Jae was the first one to ever meet Junwoo. Their interactions at best seems like an old married couple who keeps on fighting and vice-versa. But behind doors they are bestfriends who share a lot of ups and downs (same as RJ, though for Jae and Jun they both have a deeper relationship just like an older brother has) Even though he's one year younger than Jun they always look like playful little s who run around and be playful with everyone. Jae is also the first person who accidentally knew Jun and Stella's relationship, resulting the news to spread like wildfire among them. At first Jun was really pissed but he knew deep down they won't even utter a word when keeping a secret.
Moon-Sik | 28 | Main Vocalist, Face of the Group | JIN of BTS | One of his roomates and may I add, his partner in crime when doing a lot of antics. Everyone dubbed them as the COMIC DUO as they would do crazy things that Junwoo would often go unknowingly. He just loves and supports his hyung as well and vice versa. Also the one who teases Jun and Stella alot when the latter often visit, he just likes seeing the two get flustered so much.
Dae | 26 | Lead Dancer, Sub Vocalist, Visual | V of BTS | Jun and Dae's interaction consists of Dae treating Jun as his older brother, is a brat as well and would sometimes tease the hell out of Jun whenever he's flustered about Stella.
Kiha | 26 | Main Dancer, Lead Vocalist | Jimin of BTS | Same as Dae, though Hyun is the one giving ideas for Jun on what fun dates, or what kind of gifts he would give to Stella if Jun is out of choices. Loves his hyung to dead and admires his relationship with Stella wishing he can have one as well.
Chiwoo | 25 | Lead Dancer, Main Vocalist, Center, Maknae | Jungkook of BTS | Aside from 2 brats namely Dae and Kiha, Chiwoo would complete the bunch of the maknae line. Though to Chiwoo he admires his hyung a lot, especially when he goes follow through his footsteps as he wants to learn producing as well. Sometimes a brat to him (in a loving way of course) He's always excited whenever Stella would often visit them, Jun sometimes pout and sulk but it's all in a affectionate way. Jun loves to teach the kid about what his passions are as he can see the kid being so enthustiastic whenever he would teach him about producing.
FRIENDS:
Koo Sejun | 39 | Manager of DYNAMITE | Jung Man-Sik | Since day one their manager has been there through ups and downs. Junwoo heavily rely on Sejun because he's been there from the beginning and it doesn't feel like he's a manager to him. He takes the roles of being a mother and a father well. Playful and likes to make antics around him but is really gentle and holds so many secrets that he responsibly never told anyone. Sejun would always be there for DYNAMITE no matter what odds they're in.
Kihyun | 26 | Member of MONSTA X | Jun treats Kihyun as if he's a younger brother of is. The two meet often whenever both groups have the same comeback schedules, or just seeing each other at the salon early in the morning. Whenever they have time they would go out and eat on a regular day, or hang out and chill inside the studio. Jun has a soft spot for Kihyun as he likes to take care of the younger.
