Backup. Jung Wooseok (Pentagon)

 

Height. 185 cm (6'0.5")

 

Appearance. 

Kwangsu is tall for a Korean man, standing at just over 6 feet. His stature is made more imposing by the fact that he is well built from sports and working out regularly. His hair is naturally dark brown/black but it is currently copper. He has both ears pierced and wears glasses when he's in the dorms. Kwangsu has an abstract butterfly tattoo on his right forearm in honor of his little brother.

 

Style. 

If people were to describe Kwangsu's style, it would be airport fashion: baggy sweatpants, tank tops, t-shirts, hoodies and lots of beanies. He's not really one that cares about fashion but if someone in charge asks him to dress up a little, his normal go tos are stripes and denim. While he doesn't enjoy clothing fashion, he does enjoy accessorizing. Whenever he isn't in practice, he wears a compass necklace with the coordinates of his hometown engraved on the back, thin leather bracelets, and one half of a set of promise rings (the one he wears is green and black and the one he doesn't wear is purple and black).

(=) Dad-Friend, Stubborn, Selfless, Blunt

(-) Spacy, Closed Off, Scaredy-Cat

 


Personality. 

"I've got it, no worries." Kwangsu has always been the type of person to put his head down and do whatever he can to be the best at what he does. He takes pride in his work and hopes that his hard work is portrayed to his family and friends and anyone who supports him. Putting his full concentration and effort into whatever task he is given makes him a formidable person to deal with when it comes to competition with his interests. He shoulders a lot of work because he knows he can handle it and his experience as a trainee has taught him that he would rather be the person who does the hard work than leave it to someone who does not take pride in what they are doing. He's still learning to let other people help him carry the weight on his shoulders.

 

"This means a lot to me so I'm going to give it my all." Along with his hard work comes his passion. If you had met him before he became a trainee, you would've never thought he would grow to have the amount of passion that he has in his music. A lot of the passion stems from how much his younger brother liked it when he would sing to him in the hospital and how much he laughed when Kwangsu would awkwardly dance to make him smile. The second wave of passion hit when he found drumming and rap were an excellent way to diffuse his anger and frustration. Now, his passion includes every part of his career and his goals for the future.

 

"What if we tried....?" Contrary to his rather stand-offish looking features, Kwangsu is someone who enjoys thinking outside of the box and coming up with creative solutions to different problems. Whether it be a way to solve a problem during a variety show, a way to promote a new song, or coming up with a new concept, Kwangsu loves to take on the challenge of coming up with new ideas. While he wouldn't necessarily call himself smart, he has a knack for seeing things that can be clouded by overthinking things.

 

"You're you. Don't change that for anyone." Kwangsu tries to take the world in stride and always accepts people for who they are without reservation. He embraces the differences in people because it was what his brother taught him to do. Kwangsu believes that it is the strange things about a person that makes them who they are. He enjoys learning the little things about people that maybe they've been afraid to show other people. He does tend to be a bit informal with people, which can make some people irritated with him.

 

"I've got you." Kwangsu is extremely protective of the friends that he has made and is fiercely loyal to them. He will stand up for and fight for his friends if need be, even if it puts his image and career in jeopardy. He can't stand bullies and will use his height and imposing stature to their full advantage whenever he needs to. He protects his bandmates and friends whenever necessary whether it be from the media, from rude staff during interviews, or from equipment falling. Unfortunately, sometimes he doesn't know when to turn it off and he can become a little bit overbearing until someone calls him out on it. Once it's pointed out, he backs off quickly with an apology. 

 

"Get off my back, I'll do it myself" Kwangsu is a person who doesn't give up, even when things seem to be hopeless. Usually his stubborn nature doesn't pose too much of a problem, it only furthers his hardworking nature. However, there are sometimes where the hard work bleeds into working until he has completely exhausted himself. He is also very stubborn when it comes to making people rest when they are sick and telling them to go to the doctor if he thinks it could be something serious. He also has a very hard time admitting he is wrong.

 

"I'm fine. You come first." While Kwangsu has no issue saying no for things that have to do with himself, he can almost never say no when his friends as for his help. He always puts his friends before himself and doesn't care if it makes him look like a pushover. Because of this, his social battery tends to burn out very quickly and can make his attitude snippy with anyone who he doesn't consider a friend. Kwangsu has always wanted to help people, ever since he knew what his father did for a living but once his little brother died, he swore that he would do whatever he could whenever he could to help take care of the people around him. 

 

"Are you really that stupid?" Ever since he realized the pain that lies could cause, Kwangsu has always sworn to tell the truth as much as he could without hurting the people around him in a significant way. He is always honest but will tell some white lies. Kwangsu isn't afraid to tell someone something that might hurt their feelings, especially if he knows that it is better for them to know this than to learn about it later. He knows the immense pain and hurt that can come from lies - lies told by doctors, lies told by his parents, lies told by his brother. He would rather someone be mad at him for a short period of time than get hurt later down the line. The only time he actively lies and hates every second of it is when he is forced to lie in front of the media to protect his image for the company. 

 

"-insert resting face here-" Kwangsu's face mixed with his tendency to space out makes for an unfortunate viewpoint from the outside. He gets lost in his thoughts often because he has a hard time bringing up his personal issues with the people around him. He doesn't want to be a bother but it also causes issues when he misses something important in conversation. He always looks angry when he spaces out and people get scared of him until someone nudges him and he is brought back to reality. On the opposite end, it is only recently that he has begun to smile more often. He has been so used to keeping his face emotionless that he finds it odd to show emotions and tends to get embarrassed easily. When it comes to showing emotions and fully being himself with people, he has the ability of an awkward teenager that never learned to socially interact and that can be frustrating and annoying for the people around him.

 

"I don't plan on letting you in so just give up already" Due to his past and his feelings of not being able to trust many people, Kwangsu hardly ever talks about himself other than surface level information good enough for interviews. He gets irritated when people pry into his personal business to the point of snapping at them. When people push too hard, he shuts down completely. Of course, with time and patience, he will open up to people that he thinks are trustworthy but those people are few and far between. This can make him seem very stand off-ish and cold when in reality all he wants is for people to trust him and to be open with him but he is terrified to let people in because he's scared of being hurt.

 

"You'll just hurt me, everyone hurts me." Kwangsu, despite his outward appearance, is the biggest scaredy cat in Eclipse. He's scared of horror movies, the dark, rollercoasters, and especially letting someone in. He is known to freak out during variety shows, though he does admit to adding a bit of flourish to make it more funny to the viewer. His fear of letting someone into his heart is the one that causes the most issues. He is terrified to have an intimate relationship with anyone beyond friendship because he's afraid if he opens himself up completely, the other person would only hurt him. He's also scared of what will happen to the other person, especially if it is a guy, when the media finds out. He's scared of having a real family due to his personal experience with family. When it gets to a certain point, his fear can become paralyzing and turn into a full blown anxiety attack and when he can't get away to calm himself down, he will freeze up and latch onto the nearest person until the attack passes.

 

Background.

Kwangsu's parents met when Kikwang came to the elementary school that Sunyoung was working at to help train the new school nurse. Sunyoung had brought in one of the children who was having a really bad allergic reaction. For the two of them, it wasn't quite love at first site from her end, but it sure was for him. Kikwang was finally able to get Sunyoung to agree to a date with him and the rest is history. They didn't date for long before the two of them got married and everyone around them thought they were the perfect couple.

 

Two years into the marriage, Kwangsu was born. He was a generally quiet child but loved to play outside and run around. They were worried he wouldn't make friends but that thought was silenced when the Russo family moved in next door. Matteo and Kwangsu got along immediately though at first it seemed a lot like Matty dragging Kwangsu around everywhere. A year later, the Yoon family was blessed with another boy. Kwangsu was the best older brother in the world. He took care of Himchan when he was a baby and played with him when he wasn't out with Matty. Kwangsu found his love for music while taking care of Himchan. He loved singing to him and making up random beats just to see his brother laugh. Himchan followed Kwangsu everywhere. 

 

When Kwangsu was 10 and Himchan was 6, Himchan started to get exhausted easily, have long lasting fevers, and complained a lot of pain. Kikwang noticed some troubling signs and took him to the hospital immediately to run some tests. Two days later, the family recieved the news that Himchan had childhood leukemia. Over the next few years, the family practically lived in the hospital. When Kwangsu wasn't at school, he was in the hospital and when he was unable to be in the hospital, he stayed with the Russo family. Matty was Kwangsu's support through it all. It was also during this time that Kwangsu realized that he was biual. His parents never knew because he didn't want to burden them with the information while they were worrying about Himchan. 

 

The last year that Himchan was sick, Kwangsu was in the hospital more often and spent a lot of time singing songs to him and playing easy fun games with him. He did his best not to cry in front of his brother but Himchan saw through him and told him that it was okay. As the older brother, Kwangsu had to laugh through his sobs as his little brother was telling him it was going to be okay. Himchan also told him that he hoped that he would go into music because Kwangsu's voice and music always made him feel better when he was in the hospital. A couple days into summer break, Himchan passed away and Kwangsu's family was destroyed. 

 

After Kwangsu's mother left, Kwangsu did his best as a 13 year old to take care of his now alcoholic father and it put a severe strain on their relationship. Kwangsu was never able to properly grieve the death of his little brother because he was too worried about losing the only other family member he had left. A few months after, the two of them picked up and moved to Seoul. Kwangsu started practicing his music more and the year he turned 14, he auditioned for and made it into JYP. He specifically went into JYP in order to live in the dorms and move out of his father's house.

Father / Yoon KiKwang [FC: Lee JoongKi] / 46 / Pediatrician / Smart, Broken, Kind, Worrier / When he was younger, Kwangsu wanted to be just like his dad. KiKwang helped people whenever he could and took care of his family. When Himchan got sick, Kikwang put all of his free time into researching the cancer and trying to find new treatments for his son. He wore himself out and Kwangsu was almost forgotten about in favor of research. At the time, Kwangsu understood but it still hurt. When Himchan died, Kikwang broke down completely. He barely slept, barely ate and all he did was research and drink. Despite what his father had turned into, Kwangsu went with him when he moved to Korea after the divorce. Since Himchan got sick, Kwangsu and Kikwang have been distant but Kikwang has done what he can since his son became a trainee to support him from afar as he continues to research the illness that killed his son. Kwangsu has only seen him a handful of times since he became a trainee. 

 

Mother / Kim SunYoung [FC: Jun Jihyun] / 46 / Elementary School Teacher / Gentle, Stubborn, Broken, Closed Off / SunYoung was the perfect mother. She taught both her boys manners, took them out during the summers, and always took care of them when they were sick. Kwangsu would playfully roll his eyes when he was a kid and his mother would dote on him but once Himchan got sick, a lot of things changed. SunYoung did her best to stay strong but once they ran out of treatment options, she spiraled. She barely left the hospital, didn't sleep, and usually forgot that Kwangsu was there. When Himchan died, she went the complete opposite direction with her emotions that Kikwang did. She became cold, emotionless, and left the house as soon as the funeral was over. She couldn't bear the fact that she had to bury her child and she was guilt-ridden for alienating herself from her remaining child. Kwangsu hasn't seen or heard from his mother since she left.

 

Little Brother / Harrison Yoon Himchan [FC: Moon Woojin] / 9 (deceased) / Stubborn, Funny, Strong, Kind / Himchan was four years younger than Kwangsu and meant more to Kwangsu than anyone in the world. Himchan followed Kwangsu around everywhere and Kwangsu loved teasing him and carrying him around everywhere. He spent all of his free time in the hospital playing games or singing with Himchan. Kwangsu was completely shattered the day he lost his little brother and he carries around the chip on his shoulder. Himchan was the person who told him to follow his music talent, even if Kwangsu was never great in front of crowds. Over time, he has learned to accept his little brother's death but he will never forgive his parents for destroying what was left of his family.

Pazzo Mate / Matteo Russo [FC: Adam Sevani] / 23 / Professional Skateboarder/Personal Trainer / Childish, Caring, Talkative, Athletic / Matty and Kwangsu have been best friends since they were three when Matty's family moved into the house next door to Kwangsu's. Matty is the comedian to Kwangsu's straight man. Kwangsu relied on Matty and his family a lot when Himchan was sick and Matty thinks of him as a brother. Kwangsu learned Italian from Matty but admittedly wasn't very good at it. He is the only person that Kwangsu keeps in regular contact with from his hometown and Matty used to visit him once a year when he was a trainee. Whenever his fellow trainees see Kwangsu around Matty, they get really confused because Kwangsu practically turns into a different person. He's softer, easier to get to laugh, and just in general a friendlier person. Kwangsu has said in interviews and to his fellow trainees that Matty saved his life multiple times over the years: when his brother was diagnosed, when his brother died, when Kwangsu realized his uality, Matty was there for all of it and his friendship never wavered.

 

Three Musketeers / 3Racha - Bang Chan, Han, Changbin / 25 | 22 | 23 / Idols - Stray Kids / Dorks, Friendly, Caring, Mentors / Kwangsu met Chan and Han when he first joined the company and was introduced to Changbin a year later. Meeting them was how Kwangsu got interested in rapping. Chan and Han made him feel like it was okay to be himself in the music industry and was always there to support him. Kwangsu and Chan bonded over Aussie slang, Kwangsu and Han bonded over freaking out over horror movies together, and Kwangsu and Changbin bonded over working out and tattoos. He spent a lot of his trainee years at JYP with the three of them and attended all of their underground rap performances. Changbin went with Kwangsu when he got his butterfly tattoo. 3Racha were the ones who convinced Kwangsu that he could have a career as a kpop artist even if he wasn't in a kband. Like Mina, these three are some of the closest people to him in the kpop industry, even if they are all shorter than him (a fact which he never lets them live down).

 

Tamagotchi / Myoui Mina / 25 / Idol - Twice / Quiet, Kind, Anxious / Mina and Kwangsu joined JYP at the same time. While they look completely different on the outside, Kwangsu thinks of Mina as an older sister. She is the one that began teaching him Japanese and one of the first words he attempted to learn was "tomodachi" which he mispronounced "tamagotchi", making her laugh and him pout in embarrassment. He's called her that ever since. He would do anything to protect her and she is one of the people he is closest to in the industry. He tended to fend off any of the other male trainees that made her feel uncomfortable.

Evangelion Bassist / Morohoshi Asuka / 21 / Idol - Eclipse / ESFP, Slytherin / Asuka and Kwangsu are a very odd pair. Kwangsu gets exhausted around her very easily and she gets annoyed with how quiet he is. However, the two of them come alive when Asuka has her bass and Kwangsu has his drum set. The two of them communicate with each other much more easily through music than they do talking. Kwangsu hopes that Asuka will be able to find other members for their band so the two of them can have even more fun together making music. He also uses her to help strengthen his proficiency in japanese and is very protective of her when other trainees talk behind her back.

 

Birthday Twins / Park Seong / 22 / Idol - Rose / ISFP / Kwangsu met Seong by chance when he was walking down the hallways of DAL Media one Halloween during his trainee years. He was surprised to hear someone singing happy birthday and peeked his head into a dance studio to see Rose singing happy birthday to Seong. After being awkwardly caught staring in the doorway, he sheepishly admitted that the two of them had the same birthday...and then they discovered they had the exact same birthday, down to the year. Ever since then, they will find each other on their birthday and wish each other happy birthday. They aren't super close due to busy schedules but they always remember each other's birthday and get the other's favorite candy as a gift.

 

Sunshine and Moonlight / Shin YoungHo / 26 / Idol - Twilight / ISFJ, Hufflepuff / Kwangsu met YoungHo early on when he moved to DAL Media since he was one of the nicest people of all the trainees that he met. He found it a little funny how alike they were but how differently they presented themselves. YoungHo is all smiles and warmth while Kwangsu tends to be colder and distant. Kwangsu is truly grateful that he was able to meet YoungHo because he thinks it made the company switch and general trainee life so much easier for him to handle. He treats YoungHo like an older brother and supports him in any way that he can.

 

Eclipse / Bandmates/Group Members/Idols / Contrary to what the media portrays him as, he deeply cares for all of his band members even if he doesn't necessarily show it on the outside. He is a hard person to get close to but that doesn't make how he feels about his bandmates any less. He treats them like family and will get misty-eyed when asked about how he feels about his band members and will reply "They are my friends, my siblings, and I would do anything for them."

 

Rose / Idols - DAL Media / He isn't super close to any of them except for Seong since he joined DAL Media after they debuted but every year he will get an invitation to Seong's birthday party and if he is able to go, he will. He enjoys hanging out with them on his birthday since they were the first at the company to wish him happy birthday, even if it was just because Seong's shares his birthday. 

 

Twilight / Idols - DAL Media / The only person he really knows out of the group is YoungHo; however, he knows that they are good people because they treat YoungHo right as leader of the group. He only knows a little about them from shows he's watched and the things that YoungHo has told him about the other members.

Trainee Life.
2014-2018 - JYP Entertainment Years: Kwangsu auditioned with guitar and vocals as well as a bit of rapping. He met Mina during the audition process and she was the first person he found after he learned they had both made it. He was accepted as a trainee and lived in the dorms with Han and Chan. He tended to be quiet around the other trainees and hide himself away to work on his drums, guitar and vocals, hoping to be able to debut in a KBand as the drummer. In 2015, Changbin joined the company and 3Racha pretty much adopted him. They helped mentor him in rap and music production. He relied on them a lot to get him through his JYP trainee days and they gave him more confidence in his musical abilities. He appreciated gaining three older brother and an older sister at JYP, even if he failed every dance lesson that Mina tried to give him. When 3Racha began doing underground rapping, he went to every performance to learn and to support his friends. He supported all of them throughout the Stray Kids selection process, even if it made him lonely. He started to lose confidence in the idea that he would be able to debut as a drummer in a Kband and wanted to restart his music career. He found out about auditions for DAL Media, a company where he could restart and figure out who he was supposed to be as a music artist, and signed up.

 

2018-2021 - DAL Media: Kwangsu's move to DAL Media was unexpected but he needed a change of scenary. All of his friends had debuted and he was losing hope in himself. The first day he walked through the door, he felt like this was the place he was supposed to be. He worked on polishing his rapping skills and still played the drums and guitar. He was still uncomfortable around others but luckily meeting YoungHo helped him break a few walls with the other trainees. While he still wasn't a very open person or a person who was easy to get close to, he did relax a little bit around the others. After meeting Yeongseok, he started to smile again [See Love Story]. He didn't believe in himself enough to think he would be chosen for Twilight and he knew he hadn't made enough connections in the company to prove that he had what it took to debut. He kept his head down and worked really hard on polishing his rapping, singing, and dancing, still using his drumming and guitar for more personal outlets. It was during this time that he also worked more on composing lyrics and getting better at producing music. He loved when things came together. When Eclipse was announced, he immediately thought he fit with the Moon side of the group so he was surprised when he was chosen for the Sun side. He thought it was a joke until he learned the Seong, YoungHo and Yeonseok had been talking about how the music he wrote for himself was more upbeat and childlike than mature. His music is like this because he writes with his brother in mind.

Scandals.

"Y2K Hates His Eclipse Members" During his trainee days and early days as an idol, Kwangsu's resting face got him into a lot of trouble with the fans and media. Over time, he has relaxed and is known to smile more but face usually looks perpetually angry and so everyone thought that he hated s. This couldn't be further from the truth as he would do anything for s. / Ongoing / False 

 

"Y2K Dating A Man" The media caught Kwangsu on camera when he was hanging out with Matty when he was visiting after his debut. Due to have knowing each other their entire lives, they are very fine with skinship. When Kwangsu saw the article, he was terrified that they had found out about Yeonseok but when he saw the picture was of him and Matty, he immediately calmed down. Matty even offered to act as his fake boyfriend. 2022 / Technically True

Love Story.

Youngho introduced Kwangsu to Yeonseok when he learned why Kwangsu has such a huge chip on his shoulder. While Yeonseok isn't secret about his history with childhood leukemia, it's also not something he talks about regularly. At first, when Youngho told Kwangsu about how Yeonseok beat childhood leukemia, Kwangsu hated him. Why was he chosen to beat cancer but his little brother couldn't? It would be fair to say that Kwangsu did not give Yeonseok a fair chance when they first met. 

 

Over the time he spent with Yeonseok, Kwangsu's hatred melted more into over protectiveness. He began to realize that the only reason he had such a strong initial reaction was because he had never given himself the chance to grieve his brother's death. He started to open up more to him and apologize for how he acted when they first met. Yeonseok got annoyed with him any time he treated him like a little brother and finally broke and told Kwangsu that he wasn't his little brother, he was a guy who wanted to be his friend. That startled Kwangsu and shattered the image he had built up of the fragile thing that he thought Yeonseok was.

 

After that interaction, they hung out a lot more and actually started to get to know each other. Yeonseok helped Kwangsu work through his grief and Kwangsu finally began to smile and open up more. Kwangsu didn't realize how much he had actually fallen for Yeonseok until one day when he looked over and just caught Yeonseok laughing about something and realized he was smiling too. From that point, he tried desperately to hide how he was feeling because emotions this strong scared him. He also wasn't sure if Yeonseok would ever like him in the same way, especially with the kpop industry as strict as it was about dating and same- couples.

 

It took Kwangsu a long time to open up to Yeonseok about how he felt and not until after many conversations with YoungHo and Asuka who had been trying to convince him to confess for a long time. He was terrified and messed up his confession and was extremely embarrassed. He had never confessed his feelings to anyone before and of course he had to mess up his first one and it was to a guy who he wasn't even sure would reciprocate his feelings in that way on top of that. Yeonseok was about to answer him when Kwangsu told him to forget it and ran away.

 

Despite his best efforts to avoid Yeonseok, Kwangsu found himself backed into a music room by him a few days after his supposed botched confession. He had been drumming to release some of his anxiety when he realized that Yeonseok was in the same room. He tried to escape but Yeonseok stopped him.

 

"You know, usually when you confess to someone, you have to give them the chance to respond."

"But if you're just going to reject me, I'd like to pretend it never happened."

"Who said anything about rejecting you?"

 

Yeonseok's comment caught him off guard. He never in a million years thought his friend would actually share the same feelings as him, especially with how he treated him early on in their friendship. After a few seconds of awkward silence, Kwangsu confessed his feelings again, with a little more confidence this time...and Yeonseok accepted them.

 

Status. Secretly dating.

Ending status. Your choice, depending on how you think they would work together

 

Trivia. 

- Kwangsu will call Yeonseok "Cuore Mio" [My Heart] or "Mio Amato" [My Beloved]. As far as Kwangsu knows, Yeonseok doesn't know what the names mean.

- Kwangsu specifically buys jumpers and wears them only a few times before leaving it lying around for Yeonseok to "steal"

- They often share earbuds when they listen to music together

- Eventually, Kwangsu will give Yeonseok the other half of his promise ring set.

- They've sung multiple acoustic love songs together and released them on their group's youtube page but since the song doesn't mention any pronouns, no one has figured out they wrote it for each other.

- YoungHo is very proud to have been the one to introduce them to each other.

- Yeonseok gets angry when Kwangsu gets too worried over him.

- Yeonseok sits in with Kwangsu when he does production and gives him tips on how to make things sound better.

- Kwangsu and Yeonseok have done a cover of Haru Haru by Big Bang once the media was aware of both of their histories with cancer.

- Kwangsu will take one of Yeonseok's hands when it's cold and hold it inside his jacket pocket to keep him warm.

- Kwangsu tends to be a very clingy boyfriend when they are in private and plays it off as normal band friend skinship when he knows they are on camera. [if Yeonseok is also a clingy person, this is even cuter]

- Most of Eclipse knows about the two of them but they have managed to keep it from the media with the help of Mina and Matty playing the roles of fake boyfriend/girlfriend as necessary.

- Yeonseok jokingly calls Kwangsu "Sunshine".

Comments/questions. Sorry this took so long! I hope you like him! Work has really been kicking my this month so I'm glad I was able to get him to you by the deadline. Please feel free to edit the love story as needed since the love interest is your character! Also I need you to understand how proud of myself I was when I thought of his stage name hahaha Please let me know if you have any questions!

Suggestions. 

- Definitely something with Kwangsu and Asuka trying to form a KBand

- Kwangsu being the definition of protective when the staff during an interview treat his fellow Eclipse members like crap.

- Collabs with Stray Kids or Twice

- Variety Shows galore!! 

Password. Shadows since the sun and the moon both make shadows from everything around and an eclipse causes its own shadow over everything

Hey Ash! Thank you so much for applying for Eclipse. Lets get right into the review!

First off, I just wanna say how excited I was to see that Kwangsu was Australian (as I myself am aussie). Personally, I think since he is so much younger than Willow from Twilight that she would have taken him under her wing as she is also an Australian and she would find kinship there. I love his personally. I can really see how his life could have shaped him into who he was. Overall I really think Kwangsu is an amazing character with a good story. His love story with Yeonseok is also super cute. I love everything about Kwangsu so I will keep this short and sweet and let you know that he has been accepted!
