(Backup:) Lee Nam Soo

1 2 3 4 5

Height: 176cm

Blood Type: B

Ideal Type: (I'd like a group member please!) Someone who's sure of himself and very accepting. He's caring and understanding, but a bit over protective and possibly arrogant. The one member of the group who will put up with Minki no matter the circumstance. 

Cover up Ideal Type:  A mature noona who looks good without makeup, can take care of him, and in exchange he'll keep her happy and never let her cry. If it's a younger girl, than she should be very positive and encouraging with natural aegyo. She also looks good without makeup. Has often playfully said that he doesn't neccessarily have a crush on Yoona and Seohyun, but wouldn't be opposed to dating them.

Languages Known: Korean - fluent, 

Personality: 

Minki is the kind of guy that keeps you guessing. If  he hasn't specifically been told otherwise, he'll do what he wants. Minki is acutally rather reserved and quiet, so he comes off as very sweet, friendly, and is the gentleman of the group. However, he's secretly a big ert who loves skinship. He'll attach himself to any near-by friend, and when he lets go of one, he'll cling to another. He's been repremended by his hyungs many times, but they usually don't mind (unless they're really tired.)

Minki is bad at socalizing. He looks very friendly, but is akward with conversation, so he has many friends, but very few close friends. He's not shy, but was raised to be quiet and reserved by very traditional and strict parents. As a result, he's worn the "good boy" mask for most of his life and can really only be himself around his group mates. Even on variety shows, he still acts polite and very gentelmanly just in case his parents are watching. His bad socalizing skills also translate into poor expression of feelings. Minki doesn't really know how to show what he feels, so this combined with his social akwardness often makes him feel alone.

He's stubborn and one of the more 4D members of the group. Being so quiet and reserved, no one what he's going to do, or why he does it. What they do know is that you can't stop him with out subjecting yourself to a day of being clung to. 

Being raised so traditionally, Minki is very conflicted about being gay. While he accepts that he is, he sort of hates himself for being so, and is also terrified that others would find out. He tries to be friendly with girls and have close female friends so that people will suspect he likes one of them. In the end, his social awkwarness prevents  him from having so many friends.

Family members: 

Father - Bang Jungsu - 47 - CFO (Chief Financial Officer) of Hyundai Motors - Very traditional and strict. Much more understanding than his wife, but looks foward to having grandchildren one day. Because he is CFO of Hyundai Motors, their family is quite rich and owns many fancy cars. Minki doesn't get anything until he has a son.

Mother - Bang Eunji - 40 - Owner and Chairman (woman?) of a nationwide cafe chain called "Feathers" - Very traditional and strict; more so than her husband. She can't bear the idea of gays, and will disown her son if she ever finds out he's gay. Was originally against Minki becoming a singer, but is sure it's only a phase and he'll come home then go to business school after he sees how ridiculous the music industry is. She's a typical rich woman who loves to shop, buy things for her son, shop, gets what she wants, and shop.

Little Sister - Bang Minji - 10 -  Elementary school student - Like Minki, she's being raised to be reserved, quiet, and a lady. Thanks to Minki she's not as traditional as her parents. She once walked in on her brother crying, and he told her "oppa is sad because he likes boys instead of girls" so she knows he's gay, but promised not to tell their parents even though she's bad at keeping secrets. Lately, she's been much more observant of the people around her, especially when her friends say they have a crush on someone.

Family Background: 

Minki's family is very traditional and rich. He comes from a long line of business men who have always been successful through out their lives. For the past ten generations, the first born has always been a boy, and become high ranking in some company, whether or not the family owns it. This is the kind of family that would never aprove of a gay child and are very realistic. 

*Friends: ExoK's Kai, SNSD's Seohyun and Yoona (explained in training background)

Teen Top - They can be overwhelming at times, so Minki feels awkward around them, but knows they're sunbaes who will help him if he needs it.

100% - He's closest with Rockhyun and Sanghoon. They trained together for a little while, so they've become good friends. 100% is like Teen Top, only not as overwhelming.

uality: gay, but sort of hates himself for being so, and doesn't want anyone else to find out.

*Exs: Han Ahreum - Middle school friend who he dated to convince himself that he wasn't gay. She discovered he was gay before he realized it himself. She used this to blackmail him into buying her things and what not, but after a year, he discovered she was cheating on him with someone twice her age. Although she then told everyone he's gay, no one belived her, and thought she said that to make her cheating seem more reasonable.

*Rivals: N/A - because of his social awkwarness, Minki doesn't really know anyone well enough for them to have a problem/rivalry with him.

Habits: 

• Clinging to people
  • The type of skinship reveals a lot about how he feels. Laying on you = tired, hugging arm = scared, pulling your hands around him so that you're hugging him/sitting in you lap = lonely, everything else (back hugs, regular hugs, holding hands, linking arms, leaning on shoulder)doesn't really mean anything....
• talking to himself
  • Minki likes to talk to himself when he's scared or bored.
• After he's told a lie, Minki will scratch the back of his neck
• Minki gets very thirsty when he's nervous, so he usually has a water bottle on hand

*Years trained in other companies: 4 - SM Ent.

Years trained in total: 5 years

*Trainee experiences: 

Minki started out secretly training at SM Ent. He auditioned and was accepted, then everyday after school, went to the SM building to train instead of going to cram school (he paid the teachers not to tell his parents). He became good freinds with Exo's Kai and developed a small crush on him. 

On his first day, Minki accidentally walked into SNSD's practice room. He appologized and tried to leave, but the girls pulled him back in. They showed him with compliments and embarassed him until his face was tomato red. Yoona, being the culprit of the most teasing, whined back at him when he compained about being so fussed over and she became a noona he could always go to for help. Eventually, the head trainer walked into SNSD's practice room looking for Minki. Though he began to repremend the teen, Seohyun defended him, and became one of his closest friends who he could tell anything.

Kai and Minki were part of the same training group and became close friends because of their age and playfulness. Minki developed a small crush on Kai, and though Kai knew about it, he didn't bother to say anything. In mid 2011, Kai was chosen to debut with EXO, but Minki was not. Rather than staying with SM and hoping to debut one day, he transfered to Top Media Ent. at the end of the year to start fresh.

*Fan Base Name Suggestions:  Group - Lights,     Individuals - Based off of that member's color, but are also jewels (so "Ruby" "Garnet" "Topaz" "Emerald" "Saphire" "Amenthist" etc.)

*Fan Base Color Suggestions: The whole freaking rainbow. Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Violet (at least. Add colors for more members). Each person could get their own fan color that best describes their personality while the group as a whole can be black and white. 

* Song Suggestions: Genre - Electronica(sort of) with a hiphop/RnB under tone Their music, I think, should be more of this very surreal kind of sound that you can get with the right electronica-ish songs. Their secondary feel is more relaxed and easy going, but still powerful, thus the hiphop and RnB

• Spectrum - SM the Performance (obvious....)
• Break Down - SuJu M (I know, it's in Manderin...sorry...) 
• The Chaser - Infinite
• Standing Still - U-Kiss (Too recent?)
• Missing You - U-Kiss
• Stop Girl - U-Kiss
• Johnny - Primary
• Suffering - Geeks

*Other information:

For a persona, Minki is supposed to be the slightly mysteryous member of the group. He doesn't talk too much, but variety shows, behind the scenes, and me2day/twitter updates show the fans what he's really like.
