PERSONALITY TRAITS.
+ : Optimistic, Ambitious, Adaptable, Thoughtful
- : Aggressive, Rebellious, Risk-Taking, Sarcastic
PERSONALITY.
   — Kwangsun is the kind of guy that how he's feeling at any time will give you a different first impression of him. His feelings are also based on what temperature he is; he adapts to his surroundings, as if he were like a cold-blooded animal. His mom loves snake soup and was completely fine with comparing her baby to a snake. Keep him cold and he won't have the energy to cry; however, if you keep him warm, he'll do all sorts of cute things like giggling and wiggling... and also cry his face off.
— Now, if he's cold, he's more likely to seem mature, distant, like a bad boy, or just have those moments where a smile creeps out. He's rather passive-aggressive at this time and also moves slower than usual.
— On the other hand, if he feels hot, his emotions go everywhere, in ways more than one. If he's happy, he could get really hyper, fast. However, he can also change emotions at the drop of a hat; he could be really happy one minute and then get in a rage. He's also known to throw tantrums and cry like a baby, though it doesn't happen a lot.
— Other than that, he's an optimistic, "I-can-do-anything-if-I-try" type of guy. He definitely wants to get to the top of the entertainment industry as soon as he can. Although this makes him obsessive with practicing his skills daily and makes him sometimes the odd one out, he is a team player at heart. He definitely doesn't want to be the one to drag down the team, but if he gets an idea for something that will make them better, he will try it. 
— With him, everything just comes out, he can't stop any of it. The only thing he can do is wear more or less clothing (depending on where they go) to set a default mood- usually just a little cold to slightly warm-, although talking to other people and reacting to what they say can jack his system up anyway.
— Kwangsun doesn't trust anyone but his friends; but at the same time, he tries to stay away from unnecessarily pissing people off. His humor is sarcastic and can grate at peoples' nerves. He's also as stubborn as a mule, so it's tough to convince him to do anything he doesn't want to do.
— If someone yells at him, his first reaction is to yell back. (He got sent out of class quite a few times because of this.) However, he's not a demon in disguise; the same principle goes for if people talk to him in a nice tone, in a serious tone, or if they're crying. Even if someone said to him, "You piece of ****, you ruined my life" and he doesn't regret what he did, he'll start crying too, while telling them "Just **** off..." Even if someone in authority asks him nicely to do something he doesn't want, then he will respond calmly (his message will be anything but nice) and so on.

LIKES.
   — Warm things (doesn't everyone love to be warm? He loves to drink warm tea or eat his favorite beef wonton soup!)
    — Silver- & purple-colored things
    — Colored contacts (he gets tired of the color brown a lot... his favorite contacts are bright red)
   — Amphibians & Reptiles (especially snakes and geckos. His parents loved taking him to the reptile exhibits at the zoo to meet his "cousins".....)
DISLIKES. 
   — Feeling cold (because then his energy level is low... but he has to stay like this, because he is at his most alluring then and the company wants to capitalize on his exotic, mysterious looks... it makes him itch to dance and get warm)
— Slackers  
— Gum (because the flavors last only so long until you get a weird aftertaste in your mouth)
— Being sick (will blame his body for getting sick on him, because there's always more for him to do and improve on with so little time...)
— Exposing his chest (.... it makes him cold. He only does it if he's overheating or in direct sunlight)
TRIVA.
   — Has never been kissed before
   — His goal is to be a big hit composer
  — He likes to curl up to warm things, be it an object or a person. But he doesn't like letting go, since he'll get cold again. Therefore, he does it only when he's too cold...
   — Rolls himself in his blanket when sleeping
   — Never drinks outside or without friends, because he's likely to cause a bar fight or go missing easily.
   — Is a great DJ and listens to his mixes of his favorite songs on his iPod when free
   — Also, he can make mixes for other people if they ask him.
   — Can play the guitar, bass guitar, percussion, banjo, and kazoo.
   — Likes at least one song from each artist he hears. And each song is often completely different from each other, although many of his favorites are rock, pop, and r&b songs.
   — It's a very good thing that the manager knows Kwangsun and how to deal with him, or else the group would have lots of troubles in the start.
   — Likes math and can do challenging math in his head. He's a human calculator........
   — Was revealed in 2013 when someone showed Kahi a video of him playing a guitar/kazoo cover of "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson and she posted it on the company facebook. He didn't even know it happened until random people started friending him on Twitter.
   — Since then, he's seen in some print advertisements for Miss Records, but his specialty is his music ability. Whenever someone in the company does an acoustic version of a song, it's more than likely him in the background with the guitar. He's somewhat of a celebrity and has his own group of fans already. His face is usually serious when he's playing (sometimes a smile breaks out), so when he debuts, the fans will see a completely different side of him!

BACKGROUND. 
   — Everyone blames his amazing and oddball mom for how he turned out. When he was young, his mother could ake him do anything because she was really good at describing what bad things would happen if he didn't listen to her. She never had to hit him in his life; her vivid descriptions were enough. The only drawback was that he started copying her.
   — His parents had some money, so they tried to tire Kwangsun out with extra activities and give him something to do while they were busy with work. Soccer was only fun when the ball was near him, so that was out. The majority of the gymnastics class was girls, so he was scared to go in. He got hurt in his martial arts class, so that was also no good. Finally, they tried dance classes, and it worked. So did vocal lessons. He started at 9.
   — He learned how to play a guitar at 13, and the rest of the instruments came easily. He and his friends started a rock band, where he was the guitarist at 14. They played for fun, when they weren't practicing dancing. Their band was called "DeMO".
   —  At 17, he quit the band because he couldn't do that and practice for a televised dance competition at the same time. They all got really pissed at him, since the rest of the team wasn't practcing as much as he was. Problem was, he made a few mistakes and his team made tiny mistakes too and they made third place overall. He quit the team with how disappointed he was. His friends in the band didn't want him back, so he just played guitar for his own amusement, sometimes for money at events. It was at this time that he picked up the kazoo and fell in love with the weird little thing.
   — At 18, he decided to study in Korea for college. He would miss his Hong Kong friends, but he looked forward to getting to know some Korean friends too. He was accepted by a university in Seoul, but then he was also scouted while dancing in the park, so he didn't know which to go to. He knew he could only put his heart into one thing- music or school? Obviously, he chose music.
   — Since joining Miss Records in 2013, he's made a few friends with the adults, not really the other trainees. He practices solo most times and was often whisked away to make videos for the company. He's come to depend on the staff that usually take care of him, and he hopes they will sometimes help him out when he debuts also. 

don't forget me!

LOVE INTEREST. Kim Sooyoon (Royal Pirates)
BACKUPS. None
PERSONALITY TRAITS. 
+ : Nerdy, Adventurous, Creative
- :  Selfish, Indecisive, Impatient
INTERACTIONS.
   — He's only been in Korea for a  short time and he's getting on his feet right now. He might have crushes of either gender, but he's not looking for love at the moment. Then this guy rolls in, unannounced. They meet in a waiting room before Apollo's first interview. Although they only talk for a few minutes, Kwangsun becomes really warm and clumsy right afterwards, to which he excuses himself to the bathroom to calm down and have his persona ready. 
   — Since then, they meet spordically and while they talk about music, something just clicks. It happens when they're both strumming guitar riffs to each other in a Miss Records training room. After that, Sooyoon disappears... but not for long! When Kwangsun likes someone, he doesn't let them escape so easily.

TRIVA.
   — Both have similar interests. Kwangsun spends a good amount of time mixing some music for Sooyoon, wanting to impress his sunbae.
   — It was 5:55 when they first met, so Kwangsun becomes more and more conscious of the presence of the number 5 as his lucky number as the relationship progresses.
