Appearance: Gaeul is short, compared to her friends and other trainees. She accepts it and thinks that even she's short, her mind and talent is tall. Then, she blames her brother having the same features as him. Small eyes, small nose and heart-shaped lips, what a cute girl! But Gaeul thinks she has average beauty and looks like a native Korean. If you could ask her what is her most beautiful feature, she would always answer her small, light brown eyes. The only thing her brother doesn't have in his face. But their difference is the hair (of course), eye color, and jaw line.
You could always see Gaeul's hair in different shades of brown and not longer than her waist. She is perfectly healthy and not underweight like other trainees. Her mother is a dietitian, who helped her have a healthy body. She doesn't have any scars or bruises on her short legs but has a many very tiny flat scars on her back, and doesn't know how did it get there.

Style: Gaeul is a little picky and sensitive on her fashion. Yes, she enjoys hippie fashion and some crazy fashion like her brother but she dislikes bright colors or colorful clothes. Neon is a big no-no to her, At home, she moves a lot and likes to wear loose clothes. (kang ji won's fashion is already high class and you can use that)
some examples: first two are her casual clothes. second is her clothes at home/dorm.

Training Years: 2 years at YG Entertainment
Trainee Life: When Gaeul asked her brother what is the scariest entertainment company, Giriboy answered YG. She wants to challenge her skills and herself. It was truly challenging because she is grouped with other trainees, which she dislikes because she's unsociable and cold. But forced herself to befriend them for their monthy assessments. Some of the trainees became her real friends. The best thing in Gaeul's trainee life was when she practices alone. She loves the beat of the music surrounding her and only her. There are also some thing she dislikes which is Mr. Yang's annoying voice- She didn't interact much to other trainees except her group mates in monthly assessments. After 2 years of training, she was used to it and doesn't want to let go of YG Entertainment. But there was one time when Giriboy signed to Just Music Records, he invited Gaeul, but she said no. though she doesn't want to be an idol there, she is friends with Just Music artists.

DO TELL ME MORE

Personality:

❝ （＋）peacemaker, passionate, independent
　（＝）cold, cool, secretive, soft-spoken
　（ー）perfecionist, blunt, unsociable ❞

basics : Gaeul, at first glance, is a cool person. Only people who have the courage (or a fool) dare to talk to her. Gaeul doesn't really find an interest in making friends, So those who wants to be friends with her have to approach her first. But if befriending someone is really needed, she can do it. Herself, her things and her life are organized perfectly. From the way she acts and talks, you will already know that she is smart. Gaeul was taught how to do things alone by her parents. She dislikes being boss around unless it is her job, it costs something important or by her brother. For her, blunt and honest ae the same. She thinks that if she said the sad truth of one's weakness, he/she will correct it. Gaeul doesn't know that her opinion is too rude for an honest one.
in her family and friends : Gaeul is the one that clears arguments in her family and friends. she follow rules in values and fights for the right even if she loves the one who did wrong. She prevents to be the one who misbehaved. Only her family and closest friends knows the fun side of Hong Gaeul. Only people who are close to her can see her smile and laugh genuinely. Her fun side is her weird actions (when she laughs, she bangs her head). Gaeul only reveals her cute secrets and feelings to people she is close with. And she really hates giving information about herself.
my name is hong gaeul : Gaeul's complete self matches perfectly to her birth season, autumn. Her name also means autumn. She has a cool and relaxed personality. She controls her own life very detailed and perfectly, and carefully chooses the best option in decisions. She hates regretting something. She is very passionate and will work hard to achieve her dreams and goals. Gaeul is too much of a perfectionist, every detail is important to her. Gaeul is afraid of losing. that's why she keeps the smallest detail in her life perfect. But if she can't handle the situation, she thinks she is completely hopeless.

Background:

Hong Gaeul was born in the middle of autumn, October 16, 1996 at Hong Kong. Her parents named her Gaeul because it was the season she was born, autumn. She is the second child of the Hong family. She has a brother who is five years older than her, Siyoung or better known as rapper Giriboy. They love and protect each other no matter how clingy Giriboy is (second to her parents, of course). Their parents met in Hong Kong and decided to live and form a family there. Her childhood days was not good nor bad. Gaeul was alone in the house with his brother most of the time because they can't speak Cantonese yet and their parents are working. But as she grew older, she is grateful to her parents that taught her how to do things alone when they had time and her brother was there to protect her.
In school, Gaeul excelled in studies, unlike her brother who skips class. She was also part of the Student Council for three years. Her teenage years was mostly full of fun. In 2009, her brother was part of an underground scene. Which he found his way to music and shared it to his sister. She loved it too and was a big fan of Epik High. Sometimes Gaeul would join his brother in the underground scene. She sang while Giriboy rap. She didn't really shone like her brother but still loved singing. The two moved to Seoul at January 2013 as a Christmas gift from her parents. They are currently residing at Gangnam District. She became a trainee at YG Entertainment in order to become an idol while his brother continued the underground scene. Their parents supported them and sends them money.

Family:

❝ father ❞ Hong, Taejin / 53 / prosecutor / sensible, peacemaker, organized
Most of Gaeul's traits came from her father and they're very similar. Gaeul only gets to see him once a week since he comes home at night. Though he is just a prosecutor, he handles many clients, making him busy. But he spends his day off with Gaeul. He isn't really protective to her, unlike her brother, but he is ready to talk if his daughter have any problem or fight. She and Giriboy would come to Hong Kong once a year.
❝ mother ❞ Seo, Yehyun / 53 / dietitian / responsible, friendly, picky
Gaeul is not as close to her mother than her father. Her mother is very picky about the food Gaeul eats and gives her a menu list everyday, which she follows. While her father teaches her mental health, her mother takes care of her physical health. But they became closer when she became a teenager. Every mom loves it when their daughter turns teen.
❝ older brother ❞ Hong, Siyoung or Giriboy / 24 / rapper, producer / protective, friendly, arrogant
Siyoung would be sometimes teased by his friends as a sis-con (but he's clearly not lol) because of his protective-ness to his one and only sister. Though sometimes Gaeul is the one takes care of him. He loves his sister so much. Giriboy was worried that his cld sister will not have any friends and introduces her to his friends. He is the one who shared music to his sister. Siyoung wants his sister to think that he's the best artist and works hard on producing. Giriboy is very clingy to his sister and sometimes a problem to her. Gaeul would always pick him up at a bar or at his company. And although she says 'i hate you' many times to him, she is grateful to him and follows his commands no matter how crazy it is.

Friends:

❝ Best Friend ❞ Moon, Rayoung / 18 / YG trainee / friendly, worrywort, easygoing
Gaeul trusts Rayoung very much because of their long friendship, two years. She shares her secrets with Rayoung. The two have luck and are always on the same team at monthly assessments. Rayoung was the one who first opened up to Gaeul. They always stick together wherever they go.
❝ Close Friend ❞ Byun, Yeonseol / 20 / university student / complacent, humurous, resilient
Yeonseol is the girl who lived under Gaeul and Giriboy's room. They often hang out with each other when Gaeul is alone at the apartment. Actually, Yeonseol was an old trainee at JYP Entertainment and gives Gaeul some advice at being a trainee.
❝ Close Friend ❞ Sae, Yuseong / 16 / JYP trainee / friendly, confident, reckless
A YG trainee and a JYP trainee as friends is rare to see but Gaeul and Yuseong are close friends. They met when Rayoung visited her brother, a trainee, at JYP. Though Gaeul's first impression of Yuseong wasn't really good (she thinks she is one of the 'fools' that approach her), Yuseong's sweet attitude made the two close. She would always invite Gaeul to hang out or eat.

Others: 

❝ ideal older brother/boyfriend ❞ Kim Jooyoung / 24 / idol / blunt, open-minded, romantic
Gaeul met him through his brother, Giriboy, who is friends with him. It was the first time Gaeul felt attracted to a man. His voice and looks were very charming to Gaeul. They are good friends, despite the . She would always brother by saying she would rather have Jooyoung as an oppa than him.

Love Interest: Kim Ji Won, Bobby
Group: iKON
Relationship: "Oppa's Frienemy" they aren't really close or whatsoever but they ofteen see each other. to "Lovers"

Personality: (i think author already got this rabbit's personality but this section needed ;-;)  This guy with big two front teeth is like a vitamin. Bobby is easy going and a cheerful kid. Open-minded about things and is very hard working, gaining the title 'champion' at Show Me The Money 3. He's very honest and sometimes arrogant about himself. He thinks he's perfect and all, like he said in his raps. But Jiwon is emotional to his mom and devotes everything to her. He is man on the outside but a kid at heart.

First Meeting: They met on a cold day where rain is falling outside the bar. It was already 12:26 midnight and her brother hasn't come home yet. Gaeul used a tracker to find her stupid brother. When she got there, she saw that he was drinking with his fellow contestant at SMTM 3, and also a fellow trainee at YG, Bobby Kim. Giriboy was the only one drunk because Bobby drank juice. When Gaeul tried to drag his brother, she was stopped by his 'Can't you have a drink first?'. After hearing that, she knew that there was a 93% that her oppa would ask that too and it did. She just drank water, it is a 'drink', right? As much as she hates it, Giriboy forced her to approach the easygoing Bobby. He tried to get her number but she rejected it. The day after that, Gaeul was suprised that Giriboy gave her number to him. And that's how they met.

Interactions: They meet each other unxpectedly often—in the training center, the park, and in SMTM. Bobby would always try to approach her first and have a conversation, and Gaeul would be cold to him. But she answers his questions shortly. 'How was your day?' 'Fine.', 'Want to eat something together?' 'No, thanks.'. Sometimes he would text her some random things or tell something about him but she doesn't reply. Giriboy tries hard to make them close even though he lost to Bobby at SMTM 3 (they never really fought 1:1 but kimbab was the winner so yeah). Gaeul doesn't really want to be friens with him even he knows Bobby is close with Haru. (but she'll be close to him soon)

IT'S TIME TO SAY GOODBYE
