` â dadoong ë¤ëĽÂ a play on words with her first name that her fellow members and close friends call her by. their members keep addressing her this in fanmeetings and videos so the fans naturally come to call her this too. "we don't know why but we call her dadoong because it's just so fitting to call her this", miranda would say.
` â daonly ë¤ě¨ëŚŹÂ a clever play of words on her full birthname. as the format of name would be first name followed by surname, her birthname would be daon lee and it could also mean "da (the) only". so, it was several of the other trainees (including aespa and nct) that started to call her by "daonly" (pronounced as daonri).
` â passionate bunny ě´ě í ëźÂ fans and fellow members alike can go on and on about her passion and strive in her career and it was linked side-by-side with her other nickname 'bunny' that was given to her because both fellow trainees and schoolmates think she's the cuter version of the white rabbit and the nickname just stuck on to her like that. it is the nickname that defines her persona as a whole.
` â bulldozer ëśëě Â only her members and certain tv personalities would call her this because she doesn't bash around the bush and works hard to entertain everyone whenever she sees an opportunity.

PERSONALITY
` â despite the fact that her first impressions are often misleading since she looks like a spoiled brat, one cannot deny that daon stands out from a crowd. you could definitely tell that it's her from miles away because she has such a distinct aura and charm to her (those closest to her would say you just scream big leo energy!). though she is not the most shy person, she does take time to adjust to her surroundings and once accustomed to her surroundings, she radiates warmth and is easy to talk to.
` â in whatever she does and in her area of passion, daon is always hungry for more and struggles to be grateful for all the small successes in life. she always strives for big wins, for the big picture. for example, getting 85-90 on her exams or midterms does not make her as happy as seeing an A+ on her final report card. yet, one thing is for sure, lee daon does everything with a high level of passion, a level that others around her can only be at awe.
` â perhaps, it is due to her inner belief that it's not wise to give up and would encourage others to face their fears and doubts because there is a reward for every effort. in interacting with others, daon is a people smart person who knows how to act according to the different personalities around her. daon knows who she is inside and carries herself with a clear preference, wanting to be accepted for who she is. those around daon find her to have a surprisingly practical approach to life as they find that she is the type to help you solve your problems rather than give you emotional support. she often listens to others' and would ask them right away, "do you want to hear the truth or the words you want to hear?"

` â talking about being in love, daon is a girl who falls in love only happens after gaining trust and belief in a deeper way. she is not one to crush so easily or to have different crushes every now and then. she does not do so with feelings and you can find her not overthinking, adding or finding meaning in every single action of the opposite gender. while doing this, she carries herself with politeness and manners and adapts accordingly to different formalities as she is one who sticks to protocols or conventional values.
` â however, for the girl named lee daon, her pride is her everything and it causes her to behave as the epitome of a go-getter. she chases for the stars, yes but just how far are those stars? at the face of failure and pressure, she is prone to self-doubt. you can see panic in her eyes when things don't go her way and defeat or failure scare her. another thing about daon is that she believes in the freedom of speech and prefers to speak for herself. she tends to not bash around the bush and in doing this, she sometimes makes mistakes here and there.
` â as she clings on tightly to the importance of honesty and truth, daon hates being lied to or being fooled. she emphasizes communication as one of the most important aspects of friendships and love. it is hard to recover daon's trust if you lie or fool her and it has to be known that she often beats herself too hard when such things happen to her. that is why she prefers not to play in a game she'll lose or get involved in something that has no advantage or surplus for her own self. she hates being on the losing end of things. known to be a bit insecure, daon will only relax and gain confidence when someone gives her reassurance or praise, causing her to find stimulation in others rather in herself.
BACKGROUND
` â 2000Â born in seongnam city, gyeonggi province on 12:23pm. welcomed by her mother and father. her two folder sisters came to the hospital after school.
` â 2001 on the first birthday party ritual her family held for her, daon picks up her father's sony walkman (their family didn't have a microphone back then) out of all the other objects her family placed for her (money, ball, pencil, rice, string).
` â 2006 becoming accustomed to her sisters listening to super junior, tvxq, and big bang. her mother would start to turn on h.o.t and g.o.d songs to shut them both down. at that young age, she just watched and rather enjoyed being a spectator to all of her sisters' bickering and her mother's interference.
` â 2009 started to appeal her singing skills to her family. her sisters would tell her parents and after she sung a beautiful rendition of g.o.d's one candle, they'd sign her up for singing lessons. she'd also start to compete in singing competitions or perform in end-of-year concerts. she'd always come close to a top three finish, grabbing fourth or fifth.
` â 2010-2012 began to really have confidence in becoming a singer. she doesn't care what kind of singer, she just wants to be able to sing for the rest of her life. her life started to turn around when she began climbing into several top three finishes at competitions and explore different types of genres in her singing. she was even given more challenging songs to sing at the end-of-year concerts.
` â 2013 she performed lyn's "back in time" and iu's "good day" for competition held by her school. she won first place as the crowd favorite by a mile. that day, she was scouted by a jyp entertainment employee in front of a tteokbokki restaurant when she was hanging out with her friends but she didn't believe it was a real scout so she only took the business card and left (plus, she wasn't really a fan of jyp artists).
` â may 2014 she was scouted by a street casting employee from sm entertainment when she just walked out of a store to buy some stationery and just like last time, she took the business card. what she did differently was that she actually contacted the number on the card and went to the audition.

FAMILY
her mother, park haesook works as a dentist and her father, lee dowon works at an it company as a vp of engineering. they classify as an upper middle family. they still see her as a small baby and take care of her fondly because she is a late child so they can't really say no to her, especially to her life choices.
she has two older sisters and was born very late, thus having quite the age difference between her sisters, lee dakyung (1990) and lee dayoung (1991). they do take care of her well, though. it's just that her two sisters spend a lot of time bickering with one another.

SPADE
NAME miranda beckett, "mandy"
AGE eighteen, '02
R/SÂ fellow trainee
Â
Â
despite not being used to taking care of others, daon made sure to take care of miranda a lot as a new trainee and gave her a lot of advice and attention.
daon always thought of miranda and perhaps miranda was able to feel the korean 'jung' or fondness from daon's actions so it was a win-win bond that they shared.
daon has the perfect energy to give miranda the affection and accomodate for her in any given situations. the two have become notorious for their chemistry and is often dubbed "mariel duo" by the others.

AESPA
AGE '00-'02
R/SÂ trainee friends, labelmates
Â
even if aespa debuts in 2020, daon knows them well as karina (yoo jimin) and winter (kim minjung) were hidden sm trainees at the time who trained alongside her. ningning trained closely with her before she was publicly announced as a sm rookie. she's quite friendly with them, even giselle who trained for only 11 months.
daon would most likely share some episodes of her and the aespa members when they were training together, causing fans to become more curious and pining for their interactions.
seeing as some of her trainee friends unfortunately didn't make the final lineup, daon was a bit bitter to see them have to give up the trainee life but decided that it had nothing to do with aespa so she'll support her trainee mates and aespa just the same.

NCT
AGE '94-'02
R/SÂ several trainee friends, labelmates
Â
being in the same batch of trainees at the same, she's very comfortable with johnny, yuta, taeil, jaehyun, taeyong and doyoung because they had already been training for some time when she entered and actually, some of them entered the agency the same time as her so they were pretty chill around her and made it easier for her to adapt to the environment and she interacts with them often.
to her, they're a fun bunch of guys who baby her around like they did to yeri. daon remembers how they ignored her for a whole day on her sixteenth birthday before surprising her at the practice room. another memory was when she engaged in a rap battle against taeil and got him to buy everyone chicken.
she enjoys being with funny people because she likes to be entertained and laugh so she didn't expect that jungwoo would be even funnier than lucas. jungwoo is one of her big brother figures she's become quite close with among all the members.Â

from all the dream members, she's quite comfortable with all of them, even chenle who trained for just two months before his debut as they were all babies at the time and ended up growing up together as trainees.
mark and her get along just fine, taking note that she seems to not call him by "oppa". she says it's a habit from when they were trainees as they agreed to be friends since back then.
she also spent a lot of time with the members of wayv before their debut after all the other members became busy with promotions. she is proud to have learned a bit of how to joke around from hendery because he is effortlessly funny.
many look forward to interactions of her with nct's '00 line, especially haechan, jaemin and jeno. although, she has to admit, she's not quite familiar with shotaro as he too, very similar to chenle, trained for just three months before debuting.Â
STAGE NAME riel 댏ě ; the company decided this stage name for her (like they did for karina) after knowing that her baptism name was gabriella, deriving it from that.
PERSONA the one and only team anchor, sm's modern-day athena it could be said that daon as "riel" is the one who stabilizes the team and adds strong foundations to their works, especially as she's the designated leader of the team. somehow, despite not being the center or the face of the group, many have come to think of the equation "daon = the identity or the voice of girls zone" (think of itzy's yeji). many have come to think of her as sm's modern-day athena because of her looks as well as she radiates a courageous and passionate energy and attitude that's not seen amongst the female idols in sm ent, unlike the "passion rich" line of sm ent (minho-suho-siwon-u-know yunho).
Â
PLOTLINE pinwheel (sharp)
AUDITION SONG well, it wasn't really an "audition" for her per se as she had already been promised to join girls zone. instead, it was much like a final monthly evaluation for her before she moves on to focus practicing on the debut song and everything. she ended up singing all about you (a poem titled you) by taeyeon.

TRAINEE YEARS seven years as of may 2021
Â
TRAINEE LIFE
` â she was only fourteen years old when she first trained at sm. she felt overwhelmed at the culture of being an idol trainee. it was later that she'd meet trainees like goeun, hina and lami that she felt like there were other girls who may share the sam feelings as her. she followed the rules while still attending school in seongnam-si, having to commute two to three hours to get to seoul. she always felt like she had what it takes even if she felt that way.
` â it was only until she was never introduced publicly as a sm rookie that she felt a huge defeat or failure and it made her feel dirty while she doubted and went into panic. she was kept as a hidden trainee whose name and identity was a mystery despite the fact that she performed as a part of the sm rookies girl performance during smtown concerts. it didn't feel great inside her heart to have been exposed to fans of sm artists but still have no confirmation or affirmation of a debut. even if she did everything they told or ask of her, nothing was certain and it scares her but she couldn't give up. she knew that perhaps, she hasn't reached her prime condition needed for a debut when she remembered she was around fiften or sixteen at the time and decided to make the best use of the facilities and knowledge of the company's training system.

` â despite her sm rookies friends leaving the company one by one, daon stayed even if it pained her that she was slowly losing companions along the way. she made sure that she wouldn't feel any regret because there had been whispers of a new girl group in the works around 2017. to this, deep down, daon knew there should've been a chance for her to make the debut lineup. perhaps, her pride swallowed her whole. she just had this feeling she'd make it. but, of course, she didn't and everything crashed down on her. the sheer devastation, shock, heartbreak and disappointment was evident in her expression. she wanted to be alone and just cry a lot, for once.
` â however, daon forget that sm entertainment was the vanguard of k-pop and they always had a plan because just a few weeks after, the company came up with a suggestion that she joined girl zone instead. of course, such a suggestion meant a lot for daon because sm entertainment doesn't just suggest things to their trainees. it was a sign, a golden opportunity, a golden ticket of a possible or even certain debut for daon. everything in her mind and heart just instantly screamed to her that she take the suggestion. so, daon took the suggestion and that's how she found herself joining girl zone.
PREDEBUT
` â hidden sm rookies trainee: 2014-2020  despite never being introduced as a part of the sm rookies team, eagle-eyed sm rookie fans or smtown stands knew of her presence as they spotted her at smtown concerts or with other trainees when they entered or exited the company building. she was known by her birthname, lee daon at the time.
` â appearance in shinee's 1 of 1 mv: 2016Â was one of the many girls that appeared in the mv so it wasn't easy for people to spot her. she revealed her experience on the filming set later when she debuted because she wrote that she became a successful fan that day when she shook hands and was in the same room with the shinee members.
` â appearance in key's one of those nights (ft. crush) mv: 2018 appeared as the main female muse of the mv but as the song itself is not well-known, not many people noticed her presence in the music video until after her debut as it's written on her profile.

FUTURE ACTIVITIES
` â dadoong daily: near future, perhaps? a possible name for a future youtube channel (or youtube corner, like johnny's communication center_ that she might make specifically for content that couldn't make it on instagram. (reference from omg's hyojung channel)
` â music show mc: near future, perhaps? it is a possibility, seeing as even rookie sungchan managed to become a part of inkigayo's mc trio so seeing as girls zone would be one of the rising stars in the idol world, she could easily be offered to become an emcee at a music show to promote herself and the group seeing as she has great diction and a very lively energy.

HISTORY
` â when sungchan and jungwoo entered sm entertainment in 2016, daon had already been training there with the other trainees. she exchanged basic greetings to the two when she bumped into them at the stairs of the company on her way to the practice room. as they were new faces, she politely told them, "good luck with practice, have a nice day". sungchan remembered that daon actually scared him due to her first impression because it had an intimidating impact so he was utterly surprised to find that she actually isn't scary and that she and jungwoo seem to be similar.
` â they bonded quickly, actually as they had similar tendencies. especially, since kim jungwoo literally made sungchan his right hand man. oddly, daon found herself hanging out with jungwoo and sungchan as well as the future wayv members often. she still doesn't know this but jungwoo and sungchan did so as most of her trainee friends have left the company and they didn't want her to feel lonely as "the last girl standing" from her batch of female trainees.
` â they became used to pulling all sorts of jokes and banter with one another that sometimes then-trainee kun had to separate them from one another while everyone else was enjoying or even, joining in on the fun. on the other side, they can be serious during practice as she's able to listen and give him advice on his concerns regarding his performances and all that. he also does the same for her. perhaps, deep down, daon has come to trust him as one of her closest friend. well, how could she not? he's a combination of a lot of things; a friend, a brother she never had, the tom to her jerry but sometimes, he can just be plain annoying.

Â
` â daon does give him a lot of advice and sungchan's attitude encouraged her to talk about her concerns. she opened up and they communicated much better than before, with a certain level of understanding between them. sometimes when things get complicated or life gets tough and knocks them down, they provided a lot of support for each other. especially, when they had to face an extensive wait on the news of their debut.
` â sungchan knew he was catching feelings fast. he just naturally started feeling different towards daon. he felt safe enough to confide to her, she never lies to him and it's as if he's been waiting for someone just like her to appear. she did. he's happy, though. she relaxes and receives so much trust and confidence just by talking to him. sungchan believes they have something possible going on but she's still confused on what to label him as.

Â
` â it's strange for her how hard it is for her to define how she feels about him, platonically or romantically. even if she always thinks of him in a good way. the second he tries to talk about it, she says she needs more time around him before she gets to that point. he understands.
Â
` â she can definitely see the warmth just pour out of his eyes and even she can put meaning to that. she's just preparing room for him somewhere in her emotional space while taking her career seriously. he keeps her pleased and he's happy just expressing himself to her. there's no rule that one-sided crushes can't be overturned. daon is interested and scared at the same time because he has the complete package but is she ready to see him to the end?
TRIVIA
` â he enjoys watching horror movies and often scares the out of daon when he retells the plots of the movies
` â he used to always have a daily bet with daon over a round of rock-paper-scissor to see who should tidy up the two practice rooms before they leave the company building
` â sungchan's number is saved as jinsoosungchan because everyone started calling him this thanks to kim jungwoo at the time
` â daon's number is saved as daonly because it was the nickname everyone called her
` â they keep a lot of embarassing photos of each other during their trainee days
` â knows each other's personal taste all too well
` â for those who may not know them, they just seem like close senior-juniors (then again, it is sm ent) as they have a lot of on-camera or on-stage interactions together
` â enjoys roasting each other or teasing one another
` â they can create an interesting discussion even over simple things like cactus, tomato, ice cream and pizza
` â when they're with jungwoo, they call themselves "jungwoo and the kids" but when it's only sungchan and daon, they become "just the kids"
` â daon says that this meme represents their dynamics and sungchan hates to say it but it's pretty much right.

Â
STATUS other people can definitely see the chemistry between them but it's still a maybe for them. sungchan obviously has feelings for her while she's not quite there yet (tl;dr needs definition)
Â
Â
ENDING slowly but surely re-defining their bond while daon catches feelings for sungchan along the way and that would lead them to finally be officially in a relationship.

COMMENTS hi, jac, after i applied to sixteen with raum, i saw girls zone and thought it'd be the perfect fic to send another one of my old girlgroup apps (yaknow, to redeem the app since the story literally disappeared afterwards) so here is daon and i hoped you liked her (even if this is just me moving information from one app to another with minor tweaks). i can't wait to hear how you see her in the story as part of the group.
