"raum: a pure hangul word meaning beautiful" 



if son raum were to become a character in a tv drama, she'd be potrayed as someone who can provide refreshing "cider" remarks to the frustrating conflict. her words are honest and frank, never straining far from the truth as she says things as she sees it but her words can also reflect her skills at making clever and funny remarks. it's proven by her abilities to deliver quick impactful adlibs and never missing the chance to quickly insert a funny remark or two. her actions are certain, with her having a strong drive to do things and not give up easily on them. she's not the type to stop halfway and can never be satisfied with incomplete work. she'll want to see things to do the end. she'd be the perfect best friend for any drama character as she'd never abandon you. she'll always be there to support you and she'll never let you to lose confidence in yourself. 

even if she can a lead character's best friend, son raum can also pass off as the main villain. she often ignores better ways to do things and she's reluctant to trust an unproven opinion long enough to find out its worth. she'll be uncomfortable and stressed if she's forced into trusting an unproven opinion or a risky solution. she has very strong beliefs on what is right, wrong, or acceptable in her eyes and it's just like her to ignore that there are other ways to get things done. she's not afraid to set things straight and ensue order, even if she gets swayed by her emotions in the process. she's easily irritated and has a short fuse that can be triggered when being pushed. it's her biggest weakness to have to express her feelings. she's still unskilled in revealing herself readily and often forgets how to appreciate the sentimental value or happiness in something as she chooses to stick to the truth and the most effective method.     


BACKGROUND 

☄️ her family was one that you may cross paths with often. two working parents, her father son gyujin a chemical engineer and her mother kim hyesoo a marketing director. they were a family of four. though her family was like any other upper middle class family you'd see, her parents made sure she felt special with her unique name. raum, taken from the pure hangul word that meant beautiful.

☄️ growing up as the oldest of two children, raum embodies her title as the firstborn. she always obeyed the rules and the expections set to her as that's always what firstborn children do. like any other firstborn, she carries a dependable aura in the eyes of her parents and can be held as an example for her younger brother. notorious for inheriting her mother's stubborness, she often fought with her brother over what she truly wants before reluctanctly yielding to him. the son household acknowledges that things are more lively with her around as the source of noise.

☄️ as she developed as her own person, raum has always wondered what her calling is, what her purpose in life should be. she's always looked for answers to her question, what possibly could be the perfect job for me? considering her personality, she'd be content with her life doing just one thing or sticking to one employer her whole life. she'd always tried her best at school, though it has been a process full of trial and error so she had good enough grades. her parents were ones who always advised her to pursue her passion, just as they did and didn't want her to take up a field she wasn't confident or comfortable with. even so, she didn't want to disappoint them. she didn't want to tell them, she doesn't know what she wants to do for a living.

☄️ she hates it when she's put into unconventional situations so when a man claiming to be a scouting manager for cygnus entertainment went up to talk to her when she was shopping with her best friend minseo on the apgujeong rodeo street, she quickly put on a mode of defense. the scouting manager didn't want to pick a fight with her so they gave her the business card and telling her to think about joining the agency if she didn't have any other plans.

☄️ though she wasn't too sure of the accountability of this opportunity, it was better than being stuck in confusion over her college major decisions and career path. she's lived her life strongly sticking to tradition and security but this was the only time she strained from it. maybe deep down, she chose this to take a break from rules, structures, and order. with her direction in life uncertain, she jumped on the opportunity without knowing the end of it. though uncomfortable with the unconventional situation, she wants to see things to the end and has too much of an ego and pride to quit halfway. her only wish is to finally be able to decide what she wants in life.    
 
TRIVIA
☄️ as of 2018, is a high school graduate who ended up not taking the korean csat test. no matter what, she'll take the text next year.  

☄️ in all honesty, was just training to rule down what she wants to do in life but got dragged into debuting just after a week and will be thrown into a totally unexpected career. oops.   

☄️ admits that she's a big fan of sm artists since they're the only idols she knows. she doesn't listen to idol music since korean music wise, she's more of a k-hip hop and k-indie listener.

☄️ currently, isn't well-acquainted with her own members since she hasn't spent a lot of time with them. most likely to be named by her members as the member they're most awkward with. 

☄️ is a avid variety show viewer. she prefers to watch variety shows over k-dramas on tv, saying that she gets a lot of positive vibes and influences from them. her members conclude that this was why she's able to make them laugh easily ("raum's our laugh button, she can make us laugh even when she's just sitting still").

☄️ that one member who does everything mcs tell her to do with confidence and zero shame and can throw away her image just for laughs.

☄️ unable to stand bitter coffee, she'll always ask a lot of questions and contemplate a lot before finally ordering a cup of coffee. usually resorts to a mocha latte, chai latte or flat white. her members won't know this until they hang out more often. ("i went to a cafe with raum and she took ten minutes to order her drink, i almost got mad at her for taking so long!") 

☄️ is mediocre at cooking but she defends herself, saying that it's better than no cooking skill at all. will follow a recipe rather than winging it.

☄️ is a workout junkie. exercise changed her life after it became one of the reasons she could lose 30 pounds throughout her high school life.

☄️ her youtube history is filled with funny variety show clips and workout videos.

☄️ the one whose always honest with her thoughts even with the hurtful truth. her members sometime call her off on this, but she'll always come to say, "this is the truth and the harsh reality and i'm only saying this for your own good."

☄️ most likely to cause a fight or conflict with members who have the opposite personality or style to her. think of the incheon battle between super junior's heechul and leeteuk.

☄️ even if she's the fighter in the group, none of the members can deny that she'll do anything to defend or protect her members.

☄️ definitely fits into the term "tsundere" 

☄️ when you go to confide in her, be prepared by her first question, "so do you wanna hear what you want to hear or what the truth is?" 

☄️ raum is probably going to be a youtuber who does daily vlogs a lot and does song covers or beauty content if her idol career crashes down. she also has a strong desire to enroll in university since she never had the chance to do so.

☄️ life motto: "anything is possible with confidence and determination."

☄️ more tba.

"if anyone wants to collab, let me know."


 

 son haru 손하루  brother, 2002. 
"no matter what, you'll always be my oompa loompa sister. love ya to hate ya, noona. xoxo, haru son."

haru doesn't send much affection as her younger brother. whenever they see each other, they'd only shake their heads and send off sarcastic comments at each other. as the youngest child in the house, haru doesn't have much skills as his sister so the only time he'd come up to her is when he'd beg her to do things for him like printing his school tasks, proofreading his essays or clippings, help him make a presentation and several household chores. they'll get along better as years pass, but for now, they're constantly mocking and pissing each other off until haru comes to ask her to do simple things for him. only then, does he put on an aegyo relay for her before she kicks him away. when he found out her sister is about to debut, he made a list of sarcasm and mockery to throw at his sister. he just couldn't believe it since for haru, his sister is an oompa loompa.
 

 park minseo 박민서  best friend, 1999.
"are you trying to be the oompa loompa of kpop? lol jk, i'd be a penguin in that crowd if i debuted"

the girl she got stuck with since middle school, minseo has become her reliable support system. she's the friend raum goes to in any mood, when she's sad, mad, happy or tired. they're two friends who confide in each other and give advice on their thoughts. minseo is more softer than raum, which makes her different than raum. when minseo can't fit in well, raum has already memorized everyone's names. it's raum that draws minseo into the noise and minseo is the one who anchors her down a bit so it wasn't surprising when minseo found out about raum's debut since minseo could never imagine herself as an idol. it suits raum better. she learns a lot from raum and raum is always ready to protect her friend from the bad. 
 

 he jinxuan 何瑾璇  fellow idyll member, 1995. 
"finally, someone who enjoys my banter! as expected from an intellectual"

the first keyword that raum got hooked on from jinxuan's self introduction was "bachelor degree in economics and management". this alone caused raum to pick jinxuan as her role model. she has yet to get the chance to pursue her bachelor's degree and this fact in jinxuan makes her envious deep down. what makes raum more affectionate of her "xuan jie" would be the fact that jinxuan isn't confrontational at all and rather finds amusement in raum's unintentional banters with other members. xuan never thought she could find someone who would out-ace her in roasting others and always finds her clapbacks against raum weak. raum's that witty. xuan always verbally thanks raum's presence as she lights up the room and praises her courageous and refreshing character for being unique. although, this doesn't stop xuan from secretly worrying about raum as her directness and occasional banter with the others might lead her to say several wrong things. xuan fears that raum will receive hate and get hurt inside because of it. xuan is always prepared to shower raum with her warmth as the younger girl is more than what she shows.
 

 song yikyung 송이경  fellow idyll member, 1996. 
"gosh, why do things always have to be a love-and-hate opera act with this eonni"

the youngest child of a coveted classical family, yikyung clashes often with raum but the moment raum brings on the brutal truth, yikyung's sensitivity reacts and she gets deeply hurt inside. yet, as if it's unavoidable for a bee to fly to a flower in spring, that honesty of raum's helps yikyung in several ways. raum helps set yikyung straight whenever yikyung starts to become overwhelmed by being a pessimistic or perfectionist. raum could easily snap yikyung out of it with a short "quit worrying about bull, you've done enough". due to her personality, yikyung doesn't express her feelings or thoughts about how hurt she can be thanks to raum's honesty and believes that raum can be more tactful with her words and should find a way to deliver them with less brutality. possibly due to pride, as she doesn't want to engage in a fight she may lose. despite their clashes, they both agree that they are both full of determination and the type of people who sees things through to completion so they have moments where they help each other in areas they may lack. raum always has to take care of her members who are awkward during variety show filming and with yikyung's permission, raum will always try to get her to loosen up, seeing as the younger girl is in charge of such things.
 

 seo yulyeon 서율연  fellow idyll member, 1996. 
"she always takes it out on me but she should look in the mirror and get some closure or some "

having not experienced the painstaking process of long time training yulyeon had, the older girl holds a lot of resentment for trainees like raum. the younger girl knows of yulyeon's pain, having been given the intro to all the trainees upon arriving at the trainee practice rooms. so, when yulyeon takes out her inner grudge and stacked emotions on her, raum being who she is pushes back. any bystander of their scenes would know that this isn't some banter, this could actually escalate into a legit cat fight. raum's brutal truth always hits yulyeon right in her pride, right in the heart of her arrogant superiority with words like "don't you think your seven year old grudge should be let go by now? you debuted already! forgive and forget!", "maybe for once, you should sit down in front of the mirror and talk yourself out of your venom", and "there's a ing good solution to wounds and it's called closure which you probably need since you always take it out on those you envy". it may be yulyeon's ego telling her not to do exactly what raum says even if what she says is the right thing to do. if they hadn't start on the wrong foot, perhaps in another world, they could've easily got along as two civil individuals as they both share the same sense of dedication to the path they have chosen.

TRAINING TIME a week at cygnus ent.

TRAINEE LIFE 
unexpectedly swept into being a trainee and then suddenly debuting, there's not much for raum to say about her trainee life. she was only starting to get used to the classes and environment when she was told about her debut. she wasn't doing bad, it was just the totally new and unexpected turn of events took her by surprise. at the time, she was a fast learner in dance lessons, taking note that she's never danced in her life. she found singing lessons easier. she'd stay behind at the practice room and put in more hours when everyone already left. the other trainees around her did help her lean the ropes and didn't see her as much of a competitor for the debut lineup. they did give her high praises for her humour. she always seemed to live up the mood and was able to ensue laughter in the room. perhaps cygnus ent. saw her star quality and potential to be an it-girl. her daily improvements and determination surprised trainers and fellow trainees alike, but it was just the aura she had that screamed she has the charms others don't.    


SCANDALS
 idyll's raum only debuted because of her variety skills? 
a very questionable topic, indeed. the netizens will have fun digging through her after finding out she only trained for a week. but her profile shows that she's labelled as a vocal position. many expected her to have extremely high quality skills that checked her out as a high quality idol. they didn't. but it was after finding success in exposing and promoting herself through variety shows or talk shows, netizens came to the conclusion that cygnus ent. saw that she has a knack for entertainment and see potential in pushing her into variety shows and only debuted her because of that so she can promote the group and herself to the public and gain new fans easier that way. (think of momoland's jooe or lovelyz's mijoo).
+ idol life is so cruel, they debuted a week trainee just because she's funny...
+ she is fun though, imagine if she had a youtube channel instead
+ there's not much girlgroup members like her, though.
+ saw her on a program and instantly fell in love with her!
+ i feel bad for the talented girls who got shoved because of her

LOVE STORY 
☄️ idyll members: "the only person she doesn't fight with is seo jaeha"
☄️ as of 2018, jaeha is set to enroll as a visual information design major at kyunghee university and is set to earn a scholarship 
☄️ they first met during the summer break of sophmore year at the convenience store  that's in her neighbourhood during jaeha's part-time cashier shift. ("oh, they changed the part-time worker again, good luck" "thank you, miss")
☄️ they bump into each other frequently due to this. raum wondered if they went to the same school so she asked him first. ("you're don't go to my school, right?" "no, miss, i don't")
☄️ raum knew his name for the nametag on his uniform but he never asked for her name
☄️ she got frustrated so she ended asking, "why do you keep calling me miss?" he scratched his head, "i thought it'd be impolite" "i'm son raum" "nice to meet you, son raum"
☄️ since then, she quickly befriended him and frequently went to the convenience store to talk to him
☄️ they end up naturally walking home together after his shift ends
☄️ jaeha: "this is a one plus one drink", raum: "you can have the other one, good luck with your shift"
☄️ one day, they realized they don't know each other's numbers or social media so they exchanged numbers
☄️ they're able to get real and confide in each other and enjoy sharing stories of their school life
☄️ jaeha was ready to push her away but she's pretty chill and tough for a girl so he changed his mind 
☄️ there's an aura to jaeha that makes her soft and calm in front of him
☄️ raum always reminds him to grow a spine or face his problems head-on
☄️ never argues with each other since jaeha seems to always avoid fights so raum always gets frustrated at him
☄️ raum: "be honest with me and tell me everything! i won't get mad. you can't always forgive everything" 
☄️ jaeha: "i don't want to start a fight with you!" (but ends up spilling everything just as she tells him to)  
☄️ both have opposite personalities
☄️ jaeha: "gosh, i can't believe i'm friends with you. sometimes, you get so difficult to handle."
☄️ raum: "excuse me, jack, sometimes i find you too frustrating too. i'm not the only one with issues here."
☄️ all their friends agree that raum dictates her friendship with jaeha since she's set all the boundaries
☄️ both are pretty inexperienced in the romance department but due to his personality, jaeha is able to give wise relationship advice 
☄️ jaeha: "heard about your debut, sending my prayers to your members, don't fight them, okay?"
☄️ raum: "i don't even know them that well to pick fights with them" (ends up doing exactly the opposite) 
☄️ currently, they claim to be each other's atomic platonic and at this point, they're numb to each other's negative traits 
☄️  deep down, they're both too prideful to admit they respect each other for their strong points
☄️ conclusion: two kids trying to navigate growing up as well as adulting in this strange world together.     

ENDING up for surprises. it could go either way. i'd love some drama.

hi would you like to collab with me? i think her and yulyeon could have a very interesting dynamic, especially since yulyeon is a very traditional trainee who would probably be a little miffed that someone like raum gets to debut without going through everything a normal trainee goes through
