LANGUAGES

» CHN　fluent, native tongue　fluent in both mandarin and cantonese thanks to intensive studying so she can converse easily between the two.

» KOR　adv conversational, began learning at sm　originally was basic at the language, but ai studied really hard. nowadays her problems seem to just be grammar and mixing up familiar words. she still sometimes uses chinese honorifics or chinese terms, but will sometimes correct herself and use korean ones.

» ENG　conversational, self-taught & still learning　her english was essentially really broken at first. wanting to learn more by herself, she studied whatever she could. a lot of friends from sm helped her. it's a lot better now, but she still has a lot to learn. has a tendency to overuse some english words like 'yo', 'like', 'bro', 'yea man', and etc.

» THA　conversational, father's native tongue, self-study　despite not really caring for her father, she was still eager to learn her other native language. she...can converse in it okay, she's definitely not fluent in it. she naturally wants to speak in chinese instead of thai. she's still independently studying in hopes to get more fluent for fans sake.

» JPN　basic, basic sm language course　her japanese is pretty broken and basic, has better hearing comprehension then actually speaking it. she was still learning it under sm, but it has been put on the backburner since leaving the company and getting ready for her debut under mik entertainment.

APPEARANCE

the first thing you noticed about ai is that she's tall, lean, and boyish. nine times out of ten, people mistake her for a male. her flat chest also helps along alluding people to her tomboy looks.

she keeps her hair short, barely ever reaching after a mullet stage. that seems to be the longest she will let her hair grow before going to get it cut. she's never liked long hair on herself.

despite her boyish image, ai does have some femininity under her baggy clothing. she hides wide hips and all around softness if you can look passed her boyish appearance. most of her muscles on her body are in her legs from soccer, but that's it. she can't gain muscle anywhere else on her body really.

she currently has multiple piercings along her ears (left: double helix, single & right: triple), but she has no tattoos.

STYLE

her fashion sense is pretty self-explanatory. she is a tomboy. her closet is full of men's or boyish girl clothes. it's what fits her body the best. she avoids dresses and anything too girly like the plague, but will wear feminine outfits from time to time and when it's needed for promotions.

　THINK BEYOND YOUR IMAGINATION　

 

PERSONALITY

» POS
intelligent, observant, passionate, dedicated
» NEU
quiet, obedient, imaginative
» NEG
insecure, perfectionist, sensitive, timid

the first thing you notice about ai is that the boyish female is quite intelligent. through years of intensive studies, it'd be rather ironic that she wouldn't be smart. she's quick on the uptake and clever, easily learning things that would take others awhile. along with her intelligence, ai is very perceptive and observant. she's quick to notice things when they happen. it's like she has eyes in the back of her head, being able to know someone is behind her even when they are trying to sneak up. underneath her calculating gaze, ai is passionate deep down. she gets highly motivated and is very goal-oriented, especially with the things she is passionate over (rapping, etc). and despite her quietness, her passion can be said to be one of the things that she's very vocal about. whenever ai's given a specific task, she becomes dedicated to the project. whether it's coming up with a new rap or simply doing the dishes, nothing will stop her until she gets done with the job.

due to years of isolation from studying, ai has became a rather quiet and reserved individual. she keeps mostly to herself and will hardly announce herself when she enters a room. and despite the fact that she rebeled from her parents eventually, ai is an obedient person by nature. she actually hates confrontations and thinks that just going along with what is said is the better course of action. which is to say, isn't good all the time. and despite ai not being that entirely young, she has a overactive imagination which is probably due to not being around others when she was younger. her little quirky stories that involve her imagination are sure to keep the other girls from getting too sad and lonely, cheering them up when they are down. though, sometimes her imagination can be her downfall, especially during serious matters.

ai may seem like a passionate genius, but deep down, she is very insecure. living with parents that always expected the best out of her and always pointed out her flaws no matter what, she finds herself second guessing everything she does despite doing everything right. it has weighed her down a lot and usually gets her overthinking everything. and because of her overthinking, ai becomes quite a stubborn perfectionist. if one little thing is misplaced or wrong, she will do whatever it takes to put it back in it's place or fix it. ai's strong passionate emotions can be her downfall as she's quite sensitive. the littlest jokes can send her down a downward spiral into depression, especially if the jokes are towards her too quiet nature or her insecurities. and because of that and combined with her quiet nature, others may see her as a timid person. her insecurity masking her confidence and causing others to walk over her when she should shine.

BACKGROUND

you wouldn't think of it at first glance, but ai grew up with a silver spoon. though because of it, she hardly ever saw her parents. her childhood consisted of nannies taking care of her day after day and only fleeting moments with her parents. thankfully though, ai was never the one to be outrageous. yes, she was upset she barely saw her parents, but that didn't mean she had to make a fool out of herself to get their attention. so instead, she became a quiet child, doing whatever they wanted in hopes her parents would give her the time of day.

doing so, ai threw herself into private homschooling. it was one thing she knew about her parents and that their stictness when it came to her schooling. they wanted her to have the best so they gave her the best tutors they could fine. though ai looked up to all her tutors and, essentially, she flourished under their teachings.

it wasn't until the age of ten when ai decided she wasn't going to wear the dresses her mom always insisted the maids to put her in. ai always hated the dresses, the way they itched her skin...they way it made her mind swirl. it wasn't like her mom would see her wearing them since she was barely home anyways. so she ignored them to wear pants instead. and it wasn't like they could stop her since they were never home. she wore her pants, polos...her nannies could see happiness bubbling inside the otherwise quiet ai and they just let her be.

at age fifteen, ai witnessed something magical (or at least, in her eyes). one of her nannies thought it would be nice to take her to a performance by a new group (cause that's what fifteen year olds liked, right? right?). it was exo-m's debut performance in china. ai was amazed by the six boys that she instantly wanted to be them. she wanted to be on the stage and perform with them.

to keep her new dream a secret from her parents, she got her nanny to take her to dance lessons with the promise that she keeps up with her schooling. she was a good student at the lessons. along with her dancing, ai enjoyed rapping and singing in her free time. the dancing even helped her with to keep in time and helped her with the control of her breath as she rapped and sang.

in one of the scarcely few times of actually spending time with her parents, they took her along on a business trip to south korea when she was seventeen. having her own agenda, ai went to an sm audition without her parents consent. she was promising with her androgynous looks, so she was accepted.

whether they were angry with her disobedience and amongst other things, they didn't say much to ai as they agreed to let sm take her. in ai's mind, she thinks they only let her go through with it because she may make them money in future.

well, whatever it is, they won't say and ai is determined to not let them ruin this opportunity.

TRAINEE LIFE

after getting accepted (with the surprise of her parents' consent), ai was ed into the korean training system of sm entertainment. ai was a diamond in the rough, one filled with talents that just needed some polishing to make it all come together.

so ai was then pushed into heavy studying, which ai was accustomed to, but now she had two new languages to learn and actual training on top of that. it was...rough, but ai felt like she could do it! she was dediciated!

after a year of training and rising up in ranks, ai was passed over being an smrookie. why? it's obvious why...there were a million reasons why in ai's mind, but the one that stuck out to her in her mind was her obvious tomboy looks.

but it wasn't like sm didn't have tomboys...there was amber from f(x). they could always promote her like her?

also, ai may be a tomboy, but she can always blend in easier with the other girls. it was like a hidden talent of hers.

in the meanwhile, her skills in dance improved and they even snuck her in as a backup dancer every once in while. no one ever knew.

and ai would never find out why sm wouldn't debut her because the day before her birthday, she was cut from the company with no other reason then 'it was your time to go'.

ai...was scared. now that she didn't have a company behind her, she honestly has no idea what she was going to do. she had no backup plan. she didn't want to go back to china yet, didn't want to face her parents and their disappointed faces.

but thankfully she didn't have to wait long. one of sm's instructors, one that was quite a fan of ai's dance skills, put in a word for at a friend's company. within a month, ai was an official mik entertainment trainee.

things were a definite change for ai, especially since things were a bit more...lax as trainees weren't as competitive like back in sm. there wasn't as much pressure for exceeding in her weaknesses much like in sm. ai, the sweet and sensitive girl she really is, liked that about mik. that and the people seemed to enjoy her vibe much more than sm.

for the next year and half, ai got to know new trainees as they were added to a predebut girl group idea that mik had been planning about.

finally, in 2020, she'd finally get to debut.

 

PREDEBUT

»　prior sm trainee.

»　nct backup dancer.

HEADLINES

» MIK NEW GIRL GROUP...COED?　pretty self-explanatory. the moment mik releases photo teasers of ai, netizens are confused as to why their new girl group has a male in the group. they quickly find out that ai is in fact a female after a few online statements are announced that she's female.

» A FEMALE NCT BACKUP DANCER?　soon after the news about ai's gender, avid nct fans become detectives and find out that ai used to be a backup dancer for nct. the news blew up due to the fact no one knew she was a female as she blended easily with the male dancers.

LOVE STORY

when ai first came to sm entertainment, she was socially inept. she kept to herself because that was all she had known. it also didn't help that most of the girl trainees would give her weird looks due to the way she dressed. and despite being a favorite among some instructors, ai wasn't included in smrookies.

so how did she meet jungwoo?

it was when he first became in sm trainee. ai was still getting used to the cuter and girlier trainees. she felt different, like she didn't belong. she hid in the dance rooms a lot to just get away from them and to be alone. that's when jungwoo came in.

he walked into the practice room when he heard crying and he was surprised to see a tomboy in the room. he had heard about her when he became a trainee. he wondered why such a young girl was crying in a practice room alone. so he carefully approached her with a open hand and asked her just that.

it was the first time someone had fully recognized her as a girl without her having to correct them. she felt her heart beat rapidly for the first time, something that had only happened when she saw exo m for the first time.

so ai poured her heart out to jungwoo, told him all about her insecurities. and what did jungwoo do? comforted her. gave her the encouragement she needed.

afterwards, they talked about random things. things to keep her mind off of. jungwoo made her laugh and smile. she didn't feel different anymore.

at the end of their meeting, jungwoo reached out his pinky. they made a pinky promise that night that they would become the best of friends and if ai needed someone to talk to, he would be there for her.

and they both kept that promise, even now. even with jungwoo debuting with nct and ai in a complete different company. whenever they have the time (which isn't a lot), they hang out and reassure each other's worries. it's the best friendship ai could ever ask for since coming to korea.

it definitely didn't take long for the both of them to catch feelings.

 

STATUS　heavily crushing on each other

ENDING　up to you! you can give them angst, but just make sure it's happy in the end pls uwu

i see their love story being a somewhat slowburn since they are so used to being best friends, so they are kinda in the friendzone together, but it's obivious they both have feelings for each other. maybe that's one reaseasons why jungwoo had his hiatus, realizing his true feelings for ai?

 

RELATIONSHIP TRIVIA

»　they talk a lot over text messages because of their busy schedules.

»　lucas ships them. he usually teases jungwoo, but he'll tease ai as well whenever they see each other.

»　a lot of their friends think they're cute because of their opposite visuals (jungwoo being feminine and ai being masculine).

»　jungwoo was one of the first people (especially a guy) to realize she was a girl. that's why she trusts jungwoo a lot.

»　whenever asked the question of who's her ideal type, ai will use jungwoo as an example.

»　whenever they are hanging out, jungwoo will be the perfect gentleman for ai. he'll hold open the door for her, let her walk in front of him, etc.

»　during jungwoo's hiatus, ai was messaging and calling him whenever she could to see if he was doing okay. they've also done a few video calls (cause ai wanted to see how he looked for real, to make sure he wasn't lying).

»　they actually have friendship bracelets. they usually hide it when they wear it, so the fans don't know about them yet.

»　recently, jungwoo had began openly flirting with ai like he does with s. ai thinks he's just being silly (even though it makes her heart flutter).
