STYLE ) Taeksoo's style over all is girly, but she likes to combine it with punk and rock. But she has no problem being girly. She likes to dress up, but her favorite colour is black so most of her clothes are black. She even has arranged her closet: dark colors one one side and the other colors on the other side, while all of her dresses hang by themselves with her shoes under the dresses.

PERSONALITY )

Taeksoo as first is seen as a quiet, shy and timid girl, but as you get to know her she could be just as funny annoying as Ken. She shy around new people and when she's on camera (except for performances). Taeksoo, shares a lot of traits similar to her older brother Taekwoon. She's pretty much quiet, but she's sharp. She notices things that others don't, since she takes time to analyze the situations around her. She's not one to show emotions easily or freely like the rest of her band mates, but she's opened up to them a lot, now she even starts conversations. Before she couldn't stand people touching her without her permission, but now she can handle being hugged suddenly by them. She likes skin-ship since that is the way for her to show her affections beside speaking. She like her brother is a soft spoken person, she rarely raises her voice to anyone.

Though she's quiet most of the time, she really cares a lot for the members and is trying to be more out spoken on camera, though it's not easy. Though she too has her moments when she can let herself go. When she sees children and animals she completely forgets everything and plays with them. She doesn't care what others think of her then she does what she wants. But when she's with her brother, they both change in a way. Taeksoo becomes a person who loves to hug and talk and smile, even laugh! The same happens to Leo too. She's also very strong and competitive, but it doesn't show all that much, so everytime people see her strength, they are always surprised.

She's also very protective of the people she cares the most about, like a lioness with her cubs. She will voice it if people get on her nerves as a warning and if the person still hasn't backed off she will back them off personally. On camera she very much like Leo then too. She's shy to show of what she got and when she laughes she hides her face in a way so that it's not shown, at all. But in all honesty, she's more comfortable with acting. 'Cause then she can let herself go and be someone completely different. Taeksoo thinks it's fun to be a different person, and it's also a way for her to explore the different sides of herself through acting.

Taeksoo is especially serious when she's training. Then she won't look at anything else and just focus on her singing and dancing. Sometimes she even forget's to eat, which has caused her to be sick a few times. One day when she was training, the rest of the trainees had a joint training. They all learned the same choreography and were to perform it in front of JYP and the other artists and staff under JYP Entertainment. Then she was so serious in getting the choreography right that she forgot to eat and only drank water. Then when she danced she was so nervous and she was dizzy, but she still managed to dance until it was done. Everyone applauded and Taeksoo out. She's also a perfectionist. She will be so focused on getting everything right, so she will forget to take care of her own body. That is one of her biggest flaw. The other one is that she's very distant towards people she just met. Others may see her as cold, but it's just so that she can be sure of the character of the person.

When Taeksoo is on stage, she's emits y charisma and she does her best until the end. Off stage, she then lays down in the nearest couch and sleeps until they have to go. On camera, she's like her brother she doesn't show much emotions or reactions unless it deserves it (in her eyes). She's very camera-shy and she, like her brother hides her face when she laughs or smiles. Off camera she's as stated before.

She's also insecure, not only about herself, but also people around her. Since she's from China and grew up there she has the "Chinese-stereotype" that she has to be perfect in everything. But she's always insecure if what she's doing is right, if it is perfect enough for the people around her, and what they would think of her. As for the pople around her she's insecure about how to approach them, since she's pretty shy and quiet. Taeksoo doesn't voice her insecurity because she doesn't want to seem weak infront of others. To her, insecurity is a weakness.

HISTORY ) Before Taeksoo was born her birth father Jung Taejin, had been in China on a buisness trip to expand his company. On his first day, he got lost on the way to the hotel he was staying in. But luckily a woman who knew the basics of Korean found him and helped him back to the hotel. He wanted to thank her and so he got her number. He called her and they had a great time together, but Taejin had fallen for the woman who's name was Bao Xinzin. They had both fallen for each other and they went out together a lot. Then one night they made love and that's how Taeksoo came to be. They had a lot of talk that if Xinzin was pregnant and it was a girl they mad a promise to name her Taeksoo and if it was a boy, Taemin.

But when Taeksoo was born, Taejin wasn't anywhere near her or Xinzin at all. Xinzin had chased Taejin away without letting him know that she was pregnant with Taeksoo. She had got to know that Taejin ws already a married man with three daughters and one son. Xinzin was upset and angry and she chased him out of the house. She never saw him again and 6 months later she had Taeksoo. Xinzin always thought about the promise she made with Taejin and decided to stick with it, thus her name Taeksoo. As Taeksoo grew up she was used to having just her mother, but sometimes she would get curious and ask about her father, but Xinzin would change the subject or completely ignore she asked about him. But they had enough with each other and they loved each other. But Taeksoo was still lonley. That she had a mother and not a father had her bullied in school. In China it's frowned upon to have a child out of wedlock(?) and be a lone mother.

She tried telling the teachers about the bullying, but they wouldn't do anything about it, so Taeksoo started to become selective mute. Only talking to her mother or her friends, but she started getting interested in music and dance. So she started learning guitar and violin, but she also learned ballet which she developed to learning sword dancing. As she got older she applied for Beijing's Ballet Academy and she got in. BBA is one of the hardest schools to get into, but she got in with a full scholarship and she did really well. As a reward for doing so great at both music and dance Xinzin took Taeksoo out with her to a music store. There Taeksoo could choose any kind of instrument she wanted. She chose a guitar and a violin. How Xinzin could afford  a guitar and violin was that she asked the owner if she could split they payment over time, like she could pay of one ammount one month and she continued that way until bothe the guitar and violin was payed off. During that period Taeksoo felt spoiled and kind of bad that she chose such expensive instruments. But xinzin assured her that it was okay and that she had deserved it, it was a reward.

When BBA one day had a dance performance JYP himself was there on a vacation and decided to watch it for fun. But as he watched the performance he fell for the passion and the hard work that was shown through Taeksoo's dance. You could say he was captivated and he knew he had to make her a trainee under his company before anyone else did. That urge only intensified when he saw her dancng with swords! So when the show was over and done with he went to see if he could talk with her. He found her and Taeksoo was with her mother Xinzin, she still knew a little Korean so she spoke with Jinyoung about the matter. Xinzin was relucant at first, but she agreed to let Taeksoo go, but Jinyoung had to take care of her. Jinyoung didn't mind and had an apartment set up for her very close to the JYP building.

When she got to Korea Jinyoung assigned a Korean teacher to her so she could learn the language and the customs. Later she would be introduced to the rest of the workers at the company, including the other trainees, actors and models. When the introduction was done with Taeksoo was called in to Jinyoung's office. He had noticed similarities between her and VIXX's Leo. Jinyoung had been in contact with Jellyfish's CEO Hwang Saejun. Taeksoo didin't know of that so they called Xinzin and had her come to Korea. Then the truth came out about Xinzin and Taejin. It turns out that Leo was Taejin's son and Xinzin requested to meet with Taejin and talk.

How it all went to was kept on the downlow and away from the news. The only people who knew about this was JYP, Taeksoo, Taekwoon, Taejin and Xinzin. How, or more like why, JYP took notice of the similarities was that Taekwoon had been to an audition to JYP before Jellyifsh (I don't think this is true, but let's just pretend, for the sake of making this more believable). He had said not to him, but he saw Taekwoon had potential, but it wasn't enough that time. And since VIXX debuted he had been "following" them to look at how Taekwoon have developed since his audition. He've also seen variety shows, including "Mydol", and seen how Taekwoon acted on the shows and seen similarities, but didn't think much of it at that time.

However when he was looking through her file he had gotten with informationa about Taeksoo and her mother that he came across a pretty familiar name, Jung Taejin. (Again, let's play pretend?) Everyone knew that Jung Taejin had four children, three daughters and one son, namely Jung Taekwoon. Then he started to think: Taeksoo was similar to Taekwoon, in both personality and in looks. Taeksoo was more alike to her mother of course, but she has some similar traits to him too. Jinyoung felt he had to do something about it, like every "kid" under his company, she was also one of them, a "child" of his.

First he took contact with Xinzin and asked around her previous relationship. He told her straight out that he "may" have found out that Taeksoo had a brother, but he couldn't be too sure. Xinzin thought about it after she had that talk with Jinyoung and decided to go to South Korea. It would be easier for them all if she was there in person to talk about this. After she came there, she lived in Taeksoo's apartment with her with this whole ordeal was sorted out. After some "investigation" JYP gave a call to Jellyfish's CEO, Hwang Saejun and asked if it was possible for for Taekwoon to bring himself and his father to the JYP building. Hwang Saejun asked why, and Jinyoung said that it was a family matter and under any circumstances would NOT go out in public. Hwang Saejun agreed and as soon at Taekwoon was free he would go to JYP.

When Taekwoon and Taejin arrived there they, or more like Taejun got a huge shock when he saw Xinzin there. Taekwoon was pretty confused about it all, but kept quiet all the while. Xinzin and Taejin had a talk about what happened when Taejin left China. She told him all about her life and about Taeksoo. When Taejin asked about where she was now, Jinyoung informed him that she was practicing now. And to everyones surprise Taekwoon asked if they could see her. Jinyoung said it was okay and when they arrived Taeksoo was dancing ballet. She saw that they enterred the practice room but finished her choreography before she adressed them. Taeksoo recognised her mother, Jinyoung and Taekwoon (since he was in VIXX and all, and she is a Starlight, though she won't admit it loud), but there was one man she didn't recognise. Afterwards they went to a meetingroom and Xinxin told Taeksoo the truth about how "she came to be". To Taeksoo it all seemed so surreal and it was hard to believe, but the evidence was right infront of her. It took a while but she was open for the idea and was willing to try to get to know Taejin and Taekwoon. She was also willing to get to know Taejin's family, but they weren't so open for the idea. Some time after Taejin had called his wife and told him to take their daughters with her to the JYP building since he had something to say. To talk to them about.

Talk they did, the rest of the Jung family was there too and they couldn't believe it. Taejin's wife Minhee and their daughters Jinhee, Minjae and Saehee didn't want to have anything to do with either Taeksoo or Xinzin, but Leo. He decided to give them a chance. He was more open minded than the rest of his family. He even said he could help Taeksoo get better in her Korean. During those times Leo and Taeksoo had gotten to know each other well. Now it seems like they have known each other since birth, and the fact that Taeksoo is Leo's younger sister has made him protective of her. He would protect her from the unwanted looks from his family (exept from Taejin) and the curious questions and glances from s and everyone else. To Leo it didn't matter that Taeksoo was just his half sister. "A sister is a sister, no matter how you look at it," he once said to her. Now she lives close to his dorm (in the same apartment complex) so if there is anything he's just a few minutes away. Now everything is going well and Taeksoo's Korean is getting better, but she still has a little accent slipping through from time to time.

But while she was training in JYP it seemed like all she did was train, train and train. It seemed like it was hopeless for her to debut, so she had a talk with Jinyoung and made the desition to leave JYP. Jinyoung understood and told Taeksoo that if there was anything  he could do for her she could give him a call. Then one day when she was walking along the streets in Hongdae, the CEO of KB saw the way she walked and the way she helded herself. It was the attitude of a dancer and he saw that she was a perfect candidate for his new group "Night Circus". He approached her and asked if she wanted to debut as a singer, he invited her for coffee and they had a talk. Taeksoo also included her time with JYP. Taeksoo thought about it and said yes to the CEO. Though it would be hard to keep it a secret from her brother and her friends.

Taeksoo trained with JYP for almost two years, from when she was 16 until she had just turned 18. Just a short time after she was scouted by KB and she been training with them since, which is for about 8 months.

PRESENT ) Taeksoo's life is a little boring. It's the same every day. She wakes up does her morning routines, then she goes to the dance studio and starts to practice her dancing for a couple of hours, she goes early so that she had the studio for herself, and during her brakesshe would talk with Eunhyuk and ask for tips and thing she can to to become a better dancer. Taeksoo and Eunhyuk has become great friends through their passion for dance. They even hang out together. Taeksoo can even confide in him with her crush on Changjo. Eunhyuk finds it funny and teases her about it. 

After dance practice she goes to vocal practice. Vocals are harder than dance. She's not a bad singer it's just that she can't reach the higher notes or hold the longest notes in the team, but she's decent. She's alike to Xiumin from EXO-M she's a vocalist but not main or lead as Chen or Luhan, but he is the best in "high-note" battle and Taeksoo is just like that. However if she is to hold any note for too long her voice cracks. 

After the training, if she feels up to it usually visits either JYP or Jellyfish to meet with her friends and her brother. She usually ends up sitting and watching them practice, but she doesn't mind.

SUMMARY ) 

THEIR (HI)STORY ) Changjo and Taeksoo met when Teen Top was filming for "Missing". Changjo was the first who welcomed her onto the set and showed her around, he even intoduced her to the rest of the members, so that it wouldn't be too awkward during the recording. During the brakes Changjo was seen talking with Taeksoo, but she wasn't responding, she just looked at him while he talked. He kind of reminded her of her other friend Sungjae. She knew he was just trying to make her comfortable with him. 

Changjo realised then that Taeksoo was the shy-type abd tried his best to make her laugh at least, he was just being friendlt, but as Taeksoo started to respond to him he kind of froze, he thought her voice was beautiful. He thought taht that kind of voice belong to someone who knows how to "use" it (as a singer, he had no idea how right he was). Then the unexpected happened, Taeksoo asked him for his phone number, now he was relucant to give it to her. Taeksoo gave him a smile and then *badump!*.

Changjo never believed in "love at first sight", but now that he was expeariencing it, he realised: This is really for real! It's no joke, he took her phone from her hands and hurriedly saved his number, sent himself a message and saved her numer. Taeksoo smiled wider and Changjo promised to keep in touch. When the recording continued however, Changjo became insanely jealous of L.Joe and his kiss-scene with Taeksoo, he wanted to punch something (L.Joe's face) but he held it in and contunied to film until it was time to go home.

As Changjo promies he's been keeping in touch with Taeksoo and even sked her out to luch, as friends, and to hang out, as friends. But each time they are together Changjo's crush grows and Taekso admits that she feels soemthing for him but isn't sure. I mean, she was together with a girl before and she isn't sure about it anymore. After some time she tells this to Changjo, because she feels she can trust him. Changjo is shocked at first but he accept it. Even though Changjo has feelings for Taeksoo he's also confused about the whole ordeal. He fell for her so fast and he has no idea how to cope with it, and for Taeksoo she thought she was a lesbian, but she's starting to thnk that she may be biual. But she's confused as to what to think of Changjo.

CONCLUSION ) The conclusion is that they get together in theend, but before that they have ups and downs and dance around the idea of becoming a couple. But it will take some time.
