Background
Personality ►: Jihyun is an emotional person and will overreact to almost anything. He has learned how to hide his anger/sadness, but gets rather offended easily. When he gets really angry, however, he will throw fits and more likely than not break something. Jihyun is very stubborn, and once he starts to do something, he'll do it his way. If he makes mistakes, he'll make some excuse or joke as to why he was doing what he was doing and try to fix it. He is somewhat of a perfectionist, but not to a huge extent. He hates being told he is wrong, as well. Despite his sensitive nature, he is actually easily excited and very energetic, almost to the point of acting like a child. With his friends, he'll talk somewhat loudly and flail his arms. He does, indeed, overreact to everything. Even though he seemingly is comfortable with his friends, he is secretly insecure and worries they find him annoying. He cannot help acting the way he does, but tries his best to not make his friends dislike him. He also cannot find it in himself to tell someone he doesn't like them...not just because of their feelings, but because he is concerned for his image.
Around new people that he's trying to impress, he'll often try to act confident and extremely masculine...which often comes off as awkward and weird. His conversation starters are often very similar... Here's one: "Hello, I'm Kang Jihyun, but please call me Jiryong. Because ryong means dragon. Dragons are manly and cool. Please don't call me Jiji, Jiji is a girly name. Not that there's anything wrong with girly! But, I'm not girly. Nope. Oh, but I really like the design on your pants. I'd like more on a shirt though." He rambles when he's anxious, and hyperventilates, as well. This may drive people away, but sometimes, it can be endearing.
Jihyun has emotions for everything, and is easily moved to tears, laughter, or embarrassment. If he's watching a drama, he'll probably end up crying at some point. If he's watching variety, he'll turn super red in second hand embarrassment and laugh so hard he'll cry. When reading books, poems, watching something, and the like, he'll react aloud. He'll exclaim, he'll cry, he'll laugh, he'll go, "Oh, you!" It's hilarious watching him, but if finds out someone is looking at him, he'll stare at them until they stop. He doesn't want to be rude and tell them to stop, so he figures that the starting should get the message across...and maybe creep them out as well.
Background ►: Kang Jihyun was born to a Chinese exchange student turned teacher and the owner of a Korean publishing company. He had two older brothers and an older sister, making him the youngest of four. When he was nine, his mother had an accident that rendered her deaf, causing her to quit her job. Luckily, she was able to join his father's company to be an editor. However, because of this, he was often overshadowed by his older siblings; he was short and cubby and didn't have the best grades, while his two brothers were tall, slim, and were the top students in their class. His sister was pretty and a graceful ballerina. All he had to show at the tender age of ten was his tantrums and loud voice...which his mother could not hear, and his father found annoying. Jihyun wasn't neglected, but he wasn't as praised as his siblings. He worked to slim down a little and by the time he was thirteen, he was an average sized boy with better grades.
However, Jihyun felt sad that he couldn't share his powerful voice with his mother, who often told them (via notebook paper) that she loved ballads. He sang them all the time around his mother (when he could), but she'd just smile sadly and tell him, in rough Cantonese, "I wish I could see your beauty." He worked hard to learn Cantonese and Mandarin, two languages he had stopped being exposed to since his mother lost her hearing, so he could sing songs his mother loved back in China. His grades began to drop as he skipped cram school in favor of learning songs. His father was dissappointed, but it didn't matter as much because he was the youngest son. Jihyun finally made the decision that he would train hard with his voice and dancing, so he could show the world his talents. He asked his mom, "If I become an idol, will you believe that my singing is beautiful?" She answered, "I don't need to see fans to know you're talented." Despite those words, he desperately wanted more acceptance from others, and decided to become an idol. He didn't care what type of idol, he would show his family how talented he was. Jihyun, with the reluctant permission of his father, tried out for many companies, many times, and was finally accepted. He then dropped out of highschool at 16.

Debut
Trainee years ►: 2 1/2 years
Trainee history ►: Since Jihyun had dropped out of highschool, he spent most of his day training. His voice was already strong, but needed more work in control during dancing and his vibrato in falsetto was weak. He had to learn how to rap and not stumble, as well, which was extremely hard for him. But the thing he had to work on the most was his dancing. Because of his previous injury, his left leg was rather stiff while dancing. Overall, his dancing was stiff, and he sometimes half-assed moves so he could sing better. He spent hours upon hours trying to dance while maintaining his vocal control, and rapping without stumbling over his words. He eventually got the hang of rapping (since it was essentially rambling with a beat), but his dancing still was weak. Jihyun worked tirelessly in the dance rooms, trying to make his movements more fluid. He lost a lot of weight during his trainee years, exercising more and dancing until he collapsed. His dancing has gotten better, but his left leg sometimes can be stiff.
